Your best hands yet. THe bottom one is more defined than the top as there's a blank area where I think a little indication or knuckles and vein is needed. Try drawing hands from memory after you do the studies. Good to see you're updating quite regularly man. Keep it up.
Page 1:
The last three images look really good there. You've cleaned up the John Wayne one very nicely, which would have been my critique on it. The shading kind of looks like it's not in the right places but if you have a reference I would want to see it. If you don't, I'd just comment that there's something strange about that mass of black on his face that looks like a rectangle. The wolf-ish dog is a very good start and my only problem with the snake picture is the man's head because looks like he's missing an ear and it looks as though his hair doesn't continue down the back of his head.
Page 2:
You have a serious talent for and knowledge of drawing hands. It's really nice. Good job on those.

Taiylz- Thx, sometimes I use a block structure, sometimes stick figure, and other times I just free hand it. Check out http://polykarbon.com, it has some great exercises for beginners and what not.
Dreamworker- Thx
25- Funny you should say that, about half of the hands you see here are drawn from memory. I love to draw hands, there very challenging and fun. Thx.
Leftyy- The page is acting wierd, I went to user CP and to edit options, then to # of posts per page, and I went to 60, then I saved my settings. Now its back to normal, Ive just got to my second page now. The snake mans ear is just shaded too dark, sorry. Thx for the comments.

oh noes, he's driving into a clock!!1
You've added a lot since I last commented, kudos. Your sketches are very creative, and your hands are looking superb. Maybe you could do a few leg studies and find out how big legs are in relation to the rest of the body (proportions). Remember that when a person is standing up and has their arms straight down, the fingertips should reach midthigh (is this right? I think so).
Cool hand studies and nice work on the Duke! That monster on post 32 looks sick too, but Id like to see more of your puppy! Bring on more sketchies.
Step this way and take a glimpse at my sketchies
I've realized through your drawings that you have a thing with clothing- you're great at conceiving creative garnments that flow (not exactly literally though). They seem to work well, and have sort of a "foreign fantasy" flair.
Perhaps you should take some kind of fashion design as an elective (and no, I'm implying you're gay ). But I'm curious to see what you'd come up with.
Love the way you varied the line width in that last one. Really gives the man substance. It would be interesting if you extended the dashboard and somehow combined the clock with the part on the other page to unify it into come crazy scenario. I dunno...
And above that- Dr. Zoidberg meets... Davy Jones!
The 2nd pic= Racing Against the Clock? That was my first reaction until I realized he's actually driving toward a clock.
My mistake about the hands. I just assumed the drawings of hands by themselves were done from life since they look like the same hand and they're all left hands.
Meg is right about the fingertips reaching mid-thigh. Also the legs should have a slight S-curve to them when viewed in front and from the side. The curve is more severe in females but it still there in male. The main thing, I think, is to not let the thigh and the shin have the same curve.
meg- Thx, yeah, that one is really out of proportion. Studies coming soon.
mofongo- Thx
Data- Thx, sounds like fun doing fashion, just not sure if I could get into it tho. I took Dr Zoidberg as inspiration. Hehe.
25- Yeah, thats pretty stupid of me, to keep drawing left hands even from memory, Im clueless. Not really, Ill be drawing more and more from memory. Thx for the tips about the legs, Ive heard that before, but reminding doesnt hurt.
Heres a work in progress, selfportrait in MS paint, since I cant get my hands on any other coloring programs, about 4 1/2 hrs so far. And its a real headache. Still lots to do on it, especially with the nose and the hoody.

Liking your stuff,last one is really nice, just needs some darker shadows on the jumper and highlights, couldn't you get gimp for digital?
keep it up .
Wow, dude. Last time I spent that much time in MS paint, I was stuck on an aircraft carrier for six months and BORED. Image is looking good, though. Have you ever messed with acrylics, water colors, oils, or anything of that nature?
As always, I dig your pencil work. Wouldn't mind seeing you do more enviros. Keep pushing further.
Hey Hey Envisor mate you improved so much since last time I checked! I'll keep poping in to check on your progress. Glad to see you back on ca!

yer work is lookin' tighter with each post
Wow. Takin' on MS Paint, eh? Braver than I am, that's for sure
Your Zoidberg guy's nice and I like the fairy/sprite/elf girl in your enviro pic 8)
Look, see! Nifty art! http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99803
Hey! Check out my blog here
Nice updates! I like also the experiment with ms paint.
Keep it up, cheers!
Ooo, Paint! Neat style- did you use the brush tool for all the dots or did you poke them in individually?
Don't be afraid to make some new colors! I see it's kind of stylized, but a crit of mine is perhaps the lips should be toned down a little, or at least less pink- looks a little like lipstick.
I especially like your second sketch post- the lines have varied thickness in the perfect places!
yeah, if you haven't checked out gimp, you should. Yay for free stuff. However, I've had some trouble making it work with my tablet, but that might just be my tablet's fault (because it's a stupid aiptek and it kinda sucks).
Are all the sketch poses from your head?
Grrr update this sketchbook right now!
This is unusual for you to be slacking like this boy!
I'm waiting to see some new smashing stuff!

Oh, by the way, the same thing is happening with your link as mine. I believe when we got these links up, we had taken it from the "last page", except we had thought it was the first because we had more posts to a page. So when the link url is the same, it makes people click automatically revert to the last page. At least that's how it is on my sig. Go to the first page and recopy the URL (if you want people to see your 1st page). Mmm... I probably could've said that in less words >_>.
Hey Envisor, your stuff looks pretty good but there seems to be a certain akwardness in some of your sketches. Almost like they are to blurry, not enough contrast/defined edges, or the characters lack substance. err, rather I mean they seem to be floating in space or the porportions are off or something.
Perhaps try working on unique attributes in your characters that would set them apart from mundane people. Think in terms of a movie. There are the main characters that stand out and then there are fill ins that are practically the same...Main = Black & white contrast, Fillers = Grey...blend in/ non-important...That comes through in your work some, but if you were to add more contrast in terms of the silhouet and in terms of the value (black & white --- Try adding more blacks to ur drawings they seem very grey) then I think your work would really come to life. Look foreward to seeing more of your work as you progress. Hope I don't come across as an ass I'm just trying to offer some constructive critcism; the same criticism I would expect somone to give me on my work.
supporting the open source community I see
Thx everyone. Ill try and visit your sketchbooks soon, but for now, heres a sketch.
Nice sketch mate! Try to experiment some pencil texturization on the monster skin, in this manner I think it become really cool!
Hey it's been a long time! Sorry for my lack of visits. Great work with #84. I like the concept. Maybe you should expand a bit and see what other concepts come up. I really hope you're still drawing. I would hate to see you stop!

Reviews for Tangy Pot Roast(5)
Sort By :
This was good. The tang didn't really come thru, but it was still good. Nothing remarkable.
I substituted a large jar of Brown Gravy for the Wine & it was excellent.
Not too sweet, not too tangy, but wow, who needs butter on those potatoes!? The carrots were amazing! I am sharing this on my FB page!
My boyfriend loves this!
Trying this recipe is part of my month of slow cooking, in response to high power bills! Also I am never sure when my husband will be home and its hard to plan dinners that way. So we would end up eating junk or take out. This way he can eat when he gets home and its not ruined. This was a tasty dish, I did make extra sauce at the end of the cook time but it was great. More sweet than tangy , you couldn't taste the wine like in similar recipes I've tried. So you may want to adjust the ingredients to your liking. I would use more wine next time and maybe some broth too. I don't like cooked carrots but ate them up in this sauce!

So I'm bringing in a huge debate between programmers, what's better, OpenGL or Direct3D (DirectX)? Direct3D only supports windows based systems and if your running lower than vista you have to use Direct3D 9 instead of 10 or 11. Where OpenGL is multi-platform and is open-source but imo is harder to learn. So game programmers out there, what do you use Direct3D or OpenGL for your graphics api?
Posted Oct 3, '11 at 7:14pm

I personaly like Direct3D better, but I never really used OpenGL so I can't give a fair desicion. DirectX is better for making shaders for me though.

OpenGL is infinitely better. Well not really but being cross platform, open source and being as powerful as or more powerful as DirectX. Not to mention that Microsoft copies the technologies in OpenGL then publicly slanders them. I would vote OpenGL.
Microsoft doesn't encourage competition of technologies to keep them from being stagnant and unreasonable. You use DirectX on Microsoft terms and not your own.
So game programmers out there
This is not only a subject of "game programmers" but also anyone in computer science specifically computer graphics. Just nitpicking details here thought.

Honestly, GLSL (OpenGL Shader Language) isn't that bad and these days you are better off being cross platform anyways.
Well not really but being cross platform
@Darkroot I'm not sure why you would say that. OpenGl is available in Mac, Linux and Windows and GLSL is interpreted by the video card directly (and the drivers thereof).
Posted Oct 5, '11 at 7:59pm
Excuse my poor writing let me fix that.
OpenGL is infinitely better, well not really. But being cross platform,
Posted Oct 6, '11 at 7:45am
No worries. I was just a bit confused for a second there.
Posted Oct 8, '11 at 1:28pm
Actualy I heard that DirectX IS cross platform, but I don't know if it crosses from windows to mac.
Posted Oct 9, '11 at 11:33pm
Well you probably heard wrong. It's as cross platform as almost anything from large corporations is open source.
Everything to my knowledge that is running on mac is using openGL. I know for a fact valve ported the source engine for openGL so they could run some of their games.
DirectX should be abolished and replaced with OpenGL, mac and linux users would be much happier.

India vs Pakistan - Evaluation on Military Strengths
Aby August 6th, 2007
Background: India achieved its independence from imperial Britain in 1947, after which it was divided into two countries - India and Pakistan, as per the Mountbatten Plan. After this partition, Pakistan chose to be an Islamic republic, aligned with United States while India chose to remain politically neutral, as a secular socialist democracy. These choices turned out to the the turning points in the political and military future of both these countries.
Please note that what follows is not an evaluation of military power in combat situations, but a brief review of quantitative military balance, based on currently available manpower, equipments, infrastructure, command and strategy. Future military plans and projects are not discussed due to uncertain and volatile nature of such plans, often subject to cancellation, failure or modification. (For example, the Indian Agni 3 missile is not under consideration, as it is still under development and testing stage.)
A documentary video on the 1971 war between India and Pakistan, the only military conflict between these two countries involving sea, ground, air and missile forces .
Military Budgets and Economic Impact
Pakistan's defence budget for the year 2006-07 was $4.1 billion (~3% of GDP) in response to India's hike in defence budget of 2006-07 at $20.11 billion (~ 2.5% of GDP). Pakistan's hike in military budget would be partially funded by its government coffers and partially by borrowing whereas India's military spending would be entirely off its own funds. India's ambitious budget prompted Pakistan to up its own military budget, despite the country's widespread poverty and socio-political problems. Apart from its GDP, Pakistani military also gets a considerable funding from United States. Considering that India has a far larger economy overall, its military budget is also several times larger, despite being a smaller share of India's GDP.
Manpower and Ground Forces
As of 2005, India has the second largest military manpower in the world - at 3,773,300 personell, next only to China. Pakistan's manpower of 1,449,000 personell, although smaller in numbers, is proportionally higher than India in terms of their population ratios. Pakistan's ground forces are equipped with American or Chinese weapons like FIM 92 Stinger SAMs, BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles, T-82 tanks and other equipments. Indian ground forces are equipped with mostly home-made and Soviet technologies like IR guided 9K35 Strela-10 SAMs, 3rd Gen IR guided Nag anti-tank missiles, UAVs and a large inventory of tanks and support vehicles. In terms of both numbers and equipments, Indian military dominates the Pakistani ground forces.
Comparison of Air Forces
As of 2006, Indian Air Force (IAF) has over 170,000 personnel and 3,382 aircrafts, of which 1,330 are combat aircrafts operating off 61 airbases - making it the fourth largest air force in the world. India's strike fighters consist of Russian and French aircrafts like Mikoyan MiG-29, Dassault Mirage 2000, Sukhoi Su-30 - the last one developed under dual licensing by HAL, India's aerospace industry in Bangalore. In addition to these, Indian Air Force also owns ground attack aircrafts, reconnaissance aircrafts, UAVs and support helicopters - a majority of them either of Soviet or French origin. Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has about 530 combat aircrafts and 65,000 active personnel, operating out of 9 airbases. Its strike fighters consist of US, Chinese and ageing French fighters like F-16 Fighting Falcon, JF-17 Thunder and Dassault Mirage ROSE-III. It also has transport aircrafts like Lockheed Martin C-130 and Airbus A310, however unlike India, there are no UAVs or reconnaissance aircrafts in the Pakistani Air Force.
Naval and Sea Based Forces
After the overwhelming losses in the 1971 war against India, Pakistan rapidly increased the size of its naval fleet which doubled in the 1980s after a massive 3.2 billion dollar military and economic aid by US President Ronald Reagan. At present, Pakistan's navy owns over 45 vessels , most of them of US or European origin which include submarines, destroyers, frigates, patrol and mine warfare boats. It operates from its sole naval port in Karachi and sometimes from naval facilities in UK, USA and France. It had recently been involved in various humanitarian operations during the 2005 Tsunami in South East Asia. Indian Navy on the other hand, is a three dimensional naval force consisting of missile-capable warships, an aircraft carrier, mine sweepers and a host of marine aircrafts. Most of the warships in the Indian navy are indigenously built in its own dockyards. The navy operates from its major naval bases in Visakhapatnam, Mumbai, Goa and the Andaman Islands. Indian Navy has significant capabilities of being a true blue water Navy and is experienced both in war and peacekeeping operations in the Indian Ocean.
The Nuclear Club
India tested a nuclear bomb in 1974 using materials from Canada and technical help from Soviet Union. However, the embargo on heavy water export from Canada after the test stalled India's nuclear ambitions till 1998, when it shocked the world by conducting five nuclear detonations termed as Shakti tests. The highest yield was by a 48 kiloton staged fusion device, which India claimed was a thermonuclear bomb but seismic data on the tests proved otherwise. In the same year 1998, Pakistan conducted a series of six nuclear detonations in a test termed as Chagai. The highest yield was reported to be about 25 kiloton from a two stage boosted device. At present Pakistan's nuclear stockpile is slated to be around 30-40 warheads while India possesses 70-100 warheads. The nuclearisation of India and Pakistan became a turning point in the history of conflicts between these two countries with high tensions but no war, not very much unlike the US vs USSR Cold War.
Ballistic and Cruise Missile Proliferation
In the nuclear delivery front, both India and Pakistan have a series of ballistic and cruise missiles in addition to ground attack aircrafts. The maximum range among India's operational ballistic missiles is 2000 km achieved by Agni-2. India's Agni ballistic missiles are indigenously developed by its own missile defence industry known as IGMDP. The maximum range among Pakistan's missiles is by Hatf V Gauri which is reported to do over 2200 kms. Pakistan's Hatf missiles are based on North Korean No-Dong series of IRBMs. Both Pakistan's Hatf and India's Agni ballistic missiles are nuclear capable. India has also developed a supersonic cruise missile BrahMos which is by far the fastest cruise missile at Mach 2.6 and maximum range of 290 km. It is reported to be nuclear capable but it is not confirmed yet. On the Pakistan side, its Babur cruise missile has a reported range of 700 km and a maximum speed of 880 km/h (Mach 0.7). As with India BrahMos, Babur is also reported to be nuclear capable but there is no confirmation yet.
The Final Verdict
Both Pakistan and India are almost evenly matched head to head in nuclear and missile fronts, however India has strategic and technological superiority over the conventional forces of Pakistan. Indian Navy is larger in fleet and personnel size with a more varied range of ships including an aircraft carrier while Pakistan's Navy is smaller and has no aircraft carriers. Indian's IAF is equipped with highly capable fighters like 4.5th generation Su-30s and 4th gen Mirage 2000s which are technologically superior to Pakistan PAF's F-16s and Mirage IIIs. Additionally Indian pilots are better trained and more capable in air combat than Pakistani forces as was demonstrated by its various wars with Pakistan or joint exercises with US and UK. In the area of conventional ground forces both the Indian as well as Pakistani Army is well equipped and highly trained to survive in extremities of topography and climate in combat conditions, like wars in the high Himalayas.
If a purely conventional war were to take place between both these countries, India would most likely overpower Pakistan owing to its superior military technology and infrastructure, larger manpower, more territorial area and a strategic advantage in its sea and air forces. It must also be noted that a war between these two countries will matter more than India's conventional superiority as both these nations are nuclear powers on an equal deadlock. India has maintained a 'no first use' nuclear policy in the lines of a similar policy by China while Pakistan does not have any such policy, considering their only hope against India is in nuclear deterrance. It would be risky for India at the present scenario to go into any aggressive war against Pakistan as the repercussions would be serious a nuclear devastation for both countries.

This Clone Trooper "Newbie" figure was released as part of the Rishi Moon Outpost Attack battle pack in the fall of 2009. The set included this clone trooper, two Commando Droid figures, and a Commando Droid Captain figure.
Essentially, this Clone Trooper figure is a repaint of a previously used mold. However, it is quite different from the individually carded, all white Clone Trooper. The differences in the mold are mainly in the helmet, and there is a very slight paint difference on the left under arm. Here are two pictures, which show the differences in comparison with the individually released clone figure of the longer Clone helmet, and a picture of the paint difference on the Clone's arms.
The Clone Newbie is super articulated with 14 joints total, including ball-joints in the neck, both shoulders, both elbows, both wrists, the waist, both legs and a both ankles. The included blaster is an OK fit for the right hand, but it doesn't stay in the left and keeps falling out.
The paint application is cleanly applied, and since this clone is subtitled "Newbie", the armor is all shiny and clean without any battle wear or weathering. All in all, this clone trooper figure is super articulated, and there is nothing to complain about, especially since it looks very close to what the clone troopers looked like in the Clone Wars TV show.

the main line coming from pole to our house it's like 100 years old lol( 18 years ) they would probably charge us alot if replaced...weird thing is that everything was fine before the 15-1 upgrade ( was 10-1 )
Things could be different here in San Diego, but they came out and dug up and replaced the cable from the pole (at street) to the house for FREE.
I will give them a call tomorrow morning and find out, thank you!
I agree with everyone else that it should be free. I know policies are different depending on where you are, but I personally have never heard of TWC charging someone for this kind of issue.It is really in their best interest to replace old out of spec cables and connectors. Depending on the situation, bad cables and connectors can cause signal ingress leading to difficult to troubleshoot problems for you and other even subscribers. Not saying that this is happening... but it can.When they see those signals, I suspect they will immediately send a tech no questions asked. Most modems spec the operating range as -15dBmV to +15dBmV, and most cable operators list their acceptable range as -10dBmV to +10dBmV (this is done to improve reliability - it is not good to run right at the low or high side of the spec for a few reasons, one of them being that the signal can change slightly throughout the day, leading to intermittent service loss when it goes too far out of spec).

Photo: Feng Yu/iStockphoto O, The Oprah Magazine offers advice to help you find charities that make the most of your contributions.
The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance evaluates charities on 20 standards of accountability, issuing detailed reports on finances and organization. Charity Navigator simplifies things by rating charities based on how efficiently they use their money. Both are good ways to check up on the charity of your choice. You can also call the IRS (877-829-5500) to verify the group's tax-exempt status.
Find Out How They Spend the Money Legitimate charities gladly share information on where your donation will go, says Charity Navigator president Trent Stamp. His group's free reports reveal CEO salaries and how much of the money goes to fund-raising and other expenses. A charity should spend at least 75 percent of its budget on programs directly related to its cause, says Stamp. Check the Name Twice Before you open your checkbook, make sure you're giving to the organization you think you are, says Stamp. Dodgy charities can capitalize on the reputation of legitimate ones by using a soundalike name. For instance, Stamp's group gives the Children's Defense Fund four stars, and the Children's Charity Fund zero. But even legitimate groups can fall short: The American Cancer Society earns just two stars from Charity Navigator. "Only 69 cents on the dollar goes to programs, and that's well below their peers," Stamp says. By contrast, the National Cancer Coalition spends 96 percent of its money on cause-related programs. Beware of Charity Tie-In Products Don't assume that buying a product with a charity's stamp can substitute for a direct donation. "For most products, it's just pennies on the dollar that actually reach the charity," says Stamp. "That might make you feel better, but it can be the equivalent of throwing a penny in a donation jar." From the December 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Cevin Jones, Idaho cattleman and president and CEO of InterMountain Beef in the Eden area, has been named vice chairman of the Federation of State Beef Councils, a division of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Jones was chosen for the position during the 2013 Cattle Industry Convention in February.
The federation is an alliance of the 45 state beef councils that collect the $1-per-head beef checkoff required of cattle sellers to support beef promotion and research. States may retain up to 50 cents per head for in-state or other beef promotion and forward the rest to the Cattlemen's Beef Board, for national and international marketing.
As vice chairman, Jones will serve on the Beef Promotion Operating Committee, which establishes the annual national check-off plan, subject to approval by the beef board and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Jones has served in top positions with the Idaho Beef Council, the Idaho Cattle Association and the state Feeder Council.
In national service, Jones is a former director of the U.S. Meat Export Federation and was a Federation Region V vice president, representing the interests of cattlemen in Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
Jones is a director for the Idaho Animal Damage Control and Magic Valley Aero Club boards, and is a former director of the Leadership Idaho Agriculture Board.
Jack Brown of the University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences will expand his plant- breeding efforts to focus on wheat for Idaho and Northwest farmers.
Brown, a 20-year member of the university's agriculture faculty in Moscow, was tasked recently with including wheat breeding in his duties.
With more than a dozen canola, rapeseed and mustard varieties available to growers, Brown is most identified with the oilseeds that turn thousands of acres across the Northwest golden each spring and summer. His IdaGold mustard is used by some of the nation's largest mustard makers. Brown will continue to develop new oilseed varieties.
His past, however, includes jobs where he focused on breeding barley and potatoes. "Once you've worked with plants, the science is pretty similar," Brown said.
With wheat and barley sales worth a projected $1.1 billion to Idaho growers last year, the college recognized the importance of having an experienced scientist overseeing wheat variety development for northern Idaho and the Inland Northwest, said John Foltz, interim dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
Brown will work closely with Limagrain Cereal Seeds wheat breeders in the Northwest as part of an innovative collaboration that shares the company's extensive European germplasm collection and marketing expertise with University of Idaho germplasm and expertise.

O'Bryan, the new senior vice president of automotive operations based in Sandy, Utah, has worked in the automotive industry for the past 29 years. His tenure with the LHM Group started in 1997 with the acquisition of the company's Idaho dealerships. He worked at the Automall in Caldwell from 1999 to 2008 serving roles from fixed operations manager to general manager. Most recently, he was the general manager of Miller Honda of Boise and regional performance manager over the four Miller dealerships in Idaho.

John Moeller, principal of Forsgren Associates, as well as attorney and Northwest Mining Association board member Joseph Baird, a partner of Baird Hanson, LLP., have been elected directors of American CuMo Mining Corporation.
Former CuMo project manager Shaun Dykes was named chief executive officer, and Hongxue Fu was appointed executive chairman of the board.
Shareholders of the former Mosquito Consolidated Gold Mines Limited approved a corporate rebranding, becoming American CuMo Mining Corporation and committed to advancing the company's flagship project, an exploration for strategic metals in Boise County approved by the U.S. Forest Service in 2011.
Moeller holds a bachelor's of science in electrical engineering, a master's of science from the University of Kentucky and a doctorate in biology with an emphasis on water quality from Idaho State University. He has managed numerous programs and a regional office of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.
Baird provides environmental and mining counsel to various New York Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange and venture capital mineral companies. He is a former president and secretary of the Northwest Mining Association board, a member and former trustee of the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, and a member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration.
Since Dykes' election to CEO, he has initiated the company's rebranding and completed a complex management transition. He also has obtained the dismissal of an appeal filed by environmental groups that challenged a federal judge's August 2012 decision in favor of the U.S. Forest Service on four of five concerns. The fifth concern has been remanded to the Forest Service for resolution.
The CuMo Project is an exploration of lands that company leaders believe contain large and economically significant deposits of molybdenum, copper, silver and tungsten. CuMoCo is approved by the U.S. Forest Service to explore approximately 10,000 acres of federal land, involving the building of up to 10 miles of roads and small-bore exploratory drilling at 137 sites over five years.
CuMoCo successfully completed its federally authorized exploratory drilling program for the 2012 season with encouraging results. At this advanced exploration stage, the work is now transitioning from outlining the shape and size of the deposit to obtaining the detailed information required to make informed and intelligent decisions with regard to the development of the project.
Larry Price and Brandon Woods have been named to the board of directors of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County.
Price is vice president of sales and marketing at Syringa Networks. Woods is general manager of West-Pak Equipment Company. Corey Surber, Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, is president of the 26-member volunteer board.
More than 4,000 local at-risk teens and children participate in programs at the clubs' three facilities. Clubs include the Moseley Center in Garden City, Meridian Boys & Girls Club in Meridian, and the summer-only program in Kuna.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County provide many youth development programs conducted by professional staff. Key programs emphasize academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
Frank Wallace, KJ Mac, Kennette McWilliams and Janelle Conaway have been elected to serve as officers on the Wish Granters board of directors for 2013. Community volunteers Cindy McClaskey and Cherie Coonce also have been elected to the board.

For the past eight years, Duplessie has served in leadership roles at the market, including market manager.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For the third time this season, South Charleston and Woodrow Wilson will square off. But tonight's game carries a bit more importance, as it comes in the Class AAA state tournament semifinals.
The Black Eagles and Flying Eagles have exchanged wins on each other's home floor, but their 9 p.m. matchup today decides a spot in Saturday's title game.
"It's like looking at us,'' said SC coach Vic Herbert. "Our guys and their guys know each other so well and play against each other a lot in the offseason.
"It's not like playing Morgantown, where some of our guys know some of their guys. We play [Woodrow] a couple times every year and we know them and what's going on. They're very, very good and shoot the ball good, they defend like we defend. Their transition game's out of sight. They don't really have a lot of mental breakdowns or errors.
"Down there, defense won it for us. We had a run at the beginning of the third quarter and kept the cushion for most of the rest of the game. The second time, they got on a roll. I was playing zone and I told these guys that's my fault, we should have gone man from the beginning and I won't make that mistake again. Whoever's hot, whoever's night it is will win that game.''
Tips from his official dad
Anthony Eades gets the best of both worlds when it comes to basketball.
The Bluefield standout, who along with his team advanced to the Class AA quarterfinals on Thursday night, is the son of Mike Eades, a respected college basketball official.
Mike Eades generally works games in the ACC, Big Ten and Big East, and currently is handling games in the ACC tournament in Greensboro, N.C.
Thus, his son gets to learn about the game of basketball from both the inside and the outside.
"A lot has come from him,'' Anthony Eades said after Thursday's win against North Marion. "He's taught me everything I know. Since I was little, he's taught me how to play, taught me how to shoot - everything about the game of basketball, he's taught me.''
Mike Eades, obviously, is on the road working a lot this time of year, taking care of his own March Madness, but occasionally gets to see his son play, like on Thursday at the Civic Center.
"He was actually here tonight,'' Anthony Eades said. "He's reffing the ACC tournament, but he flew up on a private jet and got to watch us play.''
Anthony Eades said his father's knowledge of the game, even from a rules and implementation standpoint, translates into helpful information for him.
"A lot of it does,'' Anthony said. "He knows a lot about the game and the rules of the game. It's a big help from him teaching me how to play.''
You again?
Fairmont Senior's prize for winning its Class AA quarterfinal was a rematch with Bridgeport.
The No. 2 Polar Bears overcame cold shooting to finally put away pesky No. 7 Scott 55-48. In the first game of the morning Thursday, the No. 6 Indians pulled a 79-71 upset of No. 3 Westside to set up a semifinal showdown between Fairmont and Bridgeport at 11:15 a.m. today.
Fairmont Senior and Bridgeport have already played twice this season, with the Polar Bears earning a 61-54 win in overtime and a much easier 76-50 victory.
"I think it comes down to who can execute better,'' said Fairmont Senior coach David Retton. "There are no secrets between the teams. I don't think we're going to do anything between now and today that's going to be any different.
"We talked about how we felt about playing North Marion [in the section championship game], they beat us twice. There was a lot for us to come out and win. Now it's on the other foot. Surely they will have their intensity ready for the ballgame and we certainly need to match or surpass their intensity.''

School bond: Cost low but benefits high
We strongly support the two bond issues that are on the ballot on Saturday, May 11. It is time to continue the work that the previous bond issue started – having schools that the entire city can be proud of owning. As taxpayers, parents and former educators in San Marcos CISD, we believe it is the right thing to do.

When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicator permits two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirms that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times.

As I recently wrote, technology companies are an increasingly juicy target for class action attorneys. And one of the juciest targets, for obvious reasons, is Google.
The latest legal assault the world's iconic search engine will have to defend against is the charge that its inclusion of search queries in its query strings is a violation of the "the privacy rights of millions of Americans."

Wow, I love that the falling heart actually turns into Hellboy as it falls into the pit.
I saw this earlier. really got me excited for Hellboy in Hell.
Ok that was absolutely brilliant
Everything about it
I am so happy Grey plays a part in this
I can't tell you how much I love Edward Grey
How amazing is Corben?
I swear, the guys a master
I hope he does some more hellboy work
Ohhh, that was an awesome teaser! So excited!
I'm the voice inside your head that you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrored in your stare

I just like that Hellboy literally falls into the mouth of hell.
Is it December yet?! This looks so great! And I'm stoked to learn more about Sir Edward.
Very interesting...
I love seeing Edward Grey involved and it seems like he'll be a major player, or major bystander, in the new series.
It seem like it also sets up the opportunity for Hellboy to be "saved."
Gorgeous, and I love the little detail of Baba Yaga having one Hellboy yellow eye in place now.
I think it's gonna be great fun to learn how all the afterlife stuff is gonna pan out.
For Hellboy's person, but also the Dagda and the faeries, both as sir Edward Grey himself.
And if Lobster Johnson'd be a ghost, then him too potentially.
The Baba Yaga might also be at the point of 'stepping down' once old Mother Russia or such would be becoming too much a thing of the past, as her power would appear to be fading.
It seems to me that what is conveyed with these storylines is that so long as characters would still be needing to be doing stuff then they would be to sort of stick around until such would get resolved. Whereas others would fall away once their part would be concluded, such as maybe the Baba Yaga at some point or Mochlomi, or even Hecate and Rasputin.
Like eventhough the faeries would have faded, they'd still be watching from someplace, like from the Sidhe mounds (complete with magic Big Brother well) or either that 'heavenlike island' (Tir Na n'Og).
Or Hellboy regarding his destiny hand and the Ragnarok-field of Vigrid. Sir Edward regarding Hellboy. Lobster Johnson and his aiding the BPRD. Or BPRD-agents and their aiding Hellboy in a way which would be still to come.
I'm ready for it!

Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.
Half sunk in the mud, with one eye showing / a cracked smile and hair still growing /
your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.
Looking at this again just now I noticed something that totally escaped me before; the cave mouth of the pit to hell is totally the mouth of some stone behemoth screaming in agony.
I thought it was just an outcropping of stone before but I see hands clutching the head now. Such an awesome detail.

Let's make one thing clear: You can't prevent social media-related identity theft. Even if you delete your Facebook account, turn off Twitter and cut yourself off from all other social media, there's still enough information about you out there to help the bad guys access your financial life.
It's in the stuff you've already posted, other people's posts about you and in huge databases that have been tracking you on- and off-line.
"There's no such thing as preventable identity theft," said Adam Levin, chairman and co-founder of Credit.com and Identity Theft 911. "People have put out so much information, there are so many sites that are tracking you and so many breaches have occurred."
Even Michelle Obama may have been hit by hackers who apparently were able to pull credit reports on celebrities by piecing together publicly available information.
What you can do is to try to make yourself less of a target -- and know what to do if you get hit.
Making yourself less visible isn't easy in a world where your something as seemingly innocuous as your Facebook "likes" can reveal your political and sexual orientation and readily available facial recognition software can not only track you from site to site but can figure out your Social Security number.
Liz Weston
The bad guys are very patient, and they cast a wide net. They're tapping public information databases and matching that with the information they find on Facebook and elsewhere. They're looking for the tidbits of information to figure out where you bank, what your credit accounts are and how they can masquerade as you.
"Fraudsters spend a great deal of time pulling together a portfolio of the person they're targeting," said Ron Green, a former Secret Service agent and deputy chief security information officer at FIS, a company that provides banking software and information technology.
"They're very patient," Levin agreed. "They cobble together the information . . . and then remake your bed, except with them in it."
The puzzle pieces that used to be private are no longer very hard to get.
"Social media is making a lot of people just provide that information freely," Green said.
Levin made the same point more colorfully: "We can't help ourselves . . . people just wholesale spew information about themselves."
Here's what you need to do:
Scour your timeline for "personally identifiable information." Anything that could be used to guess your password, or your answers to security questions that authenticate you on financial sites and elsewhere, would be of prime interest to an identity thief. That includes, but isn't limited to:
- Your full name (including middle name).
- Your full birth date.
- Your children's names.
- Your pets' names.
- Your hometown.
- Your mother's maiden name.
- The names and dates of schools you've attended.
- Your home address.
Security experts recommend purging as much of this personally identifiable information as possible -- with the understanding that it's probably cached somewhere or may already have been accessed by a thief.
"It would be worth doing because you've probably lessened the 'threat surface,'" or the amount of readily available information that could be used against you, Green said. "But you really can't put the genie back in the bottle."
Using a handle or nickname is better than using your real name, although Facebook discourages that (and it's tough to change your name after you've established your account).
If you do nothing else, though, take your birthdate under wraps since that date is used to confirm the other information a criminal may have compiled about you -- not to mention that people often use birthdates in their passwords. If you really need to get birthday greetings on your actual birthday, rather than a few days before or after, at least conceal the year you were born.
Also know that many phones and cameras can "geotag," or embed information in photo files that show where the pictures are taken. A savvy criminal could access that information and figure out your address, so Levin recommends turning off geotagging, also known as "location services".
Practice good password hygiene. You're supposed to use different passwords at every site, but, at a minimum, you shouldn't reuse your Facebook password at email and financial sites. If you're having trouble keeping track of multiple passwords, consider programs such as LastPass or 1Password that can store them in encrypted form.
Beware of apps. Free games and quizzes seem like fun, but typically their purpose is to suck up information about you and your friends. At best, your information will be used to spam your friend list, or sold to marketers. At worst, the programs might be designed by identity thieves. That "personality test" you took could be just a cover for extracting clues to your passwords or security questions. You can turn off Facebook apps by clicking the little gear on the top right of your screen; select "privacy settings" and then look on the left side for "apps."

Right, we are nearly done with the model, the back plates are nearly done (when I say nearly I would say 98%, there are a couple of dinks I need to sort out).
Most of the work, as you will see is needed straightening up the key slots to make them look neater and symmetrical.
I spent about 5 hours today getting it this far, but I must say I am proud of the fact that the left rear quadrant is so shiny, you can see reflections in it hehe
anyhoo, here it is... so close I can smell it!

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A heartbreaking injury on the court brings the Louisville Cardinals men's basketball team even closer. While the Cards are now off to the Final Four, the team is determined to bring Kevin Ware with them.
"We were all just fighting back tears, just not knowing," said Dr. James Ramsey, University of Louisville President.
Ramsey was just seven rows back from Kevin Ware when the player suffered a horrific leg break during the Duke game Sunday night. "All of sudden the game wasn't important, it was this young man who worked so hard and just everybody hoping he will be ok," said Ramsey.
Almost immediately social networks lit up with prayers and well wishes for Ware and his visibly impacted team, coaches, and fans. "It just affected everyone, whether you were watching on TV or whether you heard about it," said Ramsey.
Ware was rushed into emergency surgery at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Dr. Craig Roberts, University of Louisville Orthopedic Surgery chairman, said this type of injury is not something you see every day. "Just the actual energy, the deformity of the leg is just really, I hate to the use the word grisly, but it was," said Roberts.
Roberts said he can only imagine what pain Ware was going through at that moment.
"Generally when you have a wound through the skin, it almost feels like somebody stabbed you there, so it's really a sharp component to that as well," said Roberts.
Ware's leg was broken in two places. The Cards went on to beat Duke 85-63, then immediately joined their teammate in the hospital to let Ware pose with the trophy. Less than 24 hours later, Ware was up on crutches and experts believe it won't be too long before he is back on the court. "I would suspect we would see him back next season, it's just a question of exactly when," said Roberts.
Ramsey said Ware is hoping to be back on campus tomorrow and is determined to travel with the team this weekend to the Final Four in Atlanta, his hometown.

Three-year Bachelors Degrees
The issue of inappropriately admitting applicants who do not possess a four-year bachelors degree has been raised. In order to assist programs with the evaluation of international credentials we have included the following resources:
- The Graduate School only accepts three-year bachelors degrees from institutions within the Bologna Process. If the institution is not part of this organization, the applicant is required to provide the Graduate School with an evaluation of the transcript for the three-year degree by an international credential evaluation company.
- We accept international credential evaluations from members of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services). AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators), or AACRAO (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers). Others may be acceptable as well, but please check with the Graduate School if a question as to the appropriateness of the evaluation arises.
- The University of Wisconsin hosts a directory of foreign institutions describing their institutional academic environment and the expectations UW has for applicants from these institutions. This should only be used as a guide.

Learning in Young Adults as Predictor for the Development of Alcohol Use Disorders (LeAD)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Overall goal of this study is to scrutinize the relation of learning behavior and related brain activity to the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD).
The researchers aim is to characterise a representative sample (200 men at age 18) with regard to learning parameters and their respective neural correlates which are thought to be indicators for the risk to develop an alcohol use disorder.
As part of a large multi-center study on alcohol dependency (in Dresden & Berlin, Germany) the researchers will characterize the sample and then prospectively assess alcohol consumption and development of AUDs over a period of three years.
Among other hypotheses it is expected that increased activation of striatal and prefrontal brain regions by the Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer process is related to increased risk of developing an AUD.

18-year-old males, representative random sample of the Dresden/Berlin area, categorized as high and as low-risk drinkers respectively
Detailed Description:
Hazardous alcohol use and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are extremely prevalent in industrialized countries, affecting about 6 million individuals in Germany alone. The onset of most cases occurs during adolescence and early adulthood. Therefore, targeted prevention would be desirable especially in young people who are at high risk to develop AUDs. Since our knowledge about predisposing factors is limited, this project aims to identify mechanisms underlying liability for dysfunctional alcohol consumption (i.e. hazardous alcohol use, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence). Based on the hypothesis that addiction is a disorder due to aberrant learning, the researchers expect that inter-individual differences in learning behavior should be associated with liability for as well as resiliency against AUD. To test the hypotheses, the researchers will characterize 200 men at age 18, and then prospectively assess alcohol consumption and development of AUDs over a period of three years. At baseline, the researchers will study three clusters of predictive variables: (i) individual learning parameters, estimated by computational modeling of behavioral performance in learning tasks such as Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer, probabilistic reversal learning, and habitization-devaluation; (ii) individual neural correlates of learning, assessed by functional brain imaging during learning; and (iii) already established risk factors such as family history of alcoholism and impulsivity.
The specific aim is to test a set of related hypotheses. The researchers assume that high risk for AUD at baseline (cross-sectional design), increase of alcohol consumption after 3 years and incidence or progression of AUD during follow-up (prospective data) will be associated with decreased reward sensitivity, decreased punishment sensitivity, increased Pavlovian approach behavior ('sign tracking'), increased 'go' effect of conditioned appetitive stimuli, increased habitization, increased activation of striatal and prefrontal brain regions by the Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer process, decreased correlation between striatal brain activity and prediction error during reversal learning.

The furor over the recent visit of Beyonce and Jay-Z to Cuba calls attention to the archaic U.S. embargo and the odious restriction on our right to travel.
The travel ban is actually something of a fiction.In practice, the ban prohibits the travel of some Americans, and permits the travel of others, surely an anomaly in a nation that proclaims equality under the law as the cornerstone of its legal system.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans travel to the island to visit relatives. And many thousands more travel to Cuba under a "people-to-people" license — that is, travel authorized by the Treasury Department in the name of cultural exchange and education.
In fact, American group travel to Cuba has developed into a growth industry in the United States. The alumni associations of scores of American universities, including Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Tufts and Vanderbilt, among many others, have availed themselves of the opportunity of a "people-to-people" license to organize educational travel to Cuba for their alums.
Other Americans travel to Cuba under the auspices of religious organizations licensed to provide humanitarian aid. Thousands of American students pursue educational opportunities in Cuba. American journalists are authorized to travel to Cuba. So are American academics.
Then why the fuss over Beyonce and Jay-Z?
Because they appeared to have been in Havana as tourists to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. "Tourist" is the one designation under which Americans cannot travel to Cuba.
It turns out that Beyonce and Jay-Z had traveled to Havana on an authorized "people-to-people" license, fulfilling the Treasury Department requirement of cultural engagement. No scofflaw "tourists" were they.
Beyonce and Jay-Z oblige us to confront again a policy that has lapsed into a farce.
While U.S. law bans "tourism," it allows travel.
Americans can travel to Cuba to enjoy live music, and this is licensed as a cultural encounter.
Americans can visit Old Havana, and this is authorized as an educational experience.
Americans can travel to Cuba with packets of aspirins and ibuprofen, and this is designated as a humanitarian mission.
Once upon a time, U.S. authorities were persuaded that the restriction of our freedom to travel would contribute to the restoration of Cuban constitutional rights. The theory was that the prohibition on American travel would deprive the Cuban economy of vital tourist dollars, and that in conjunction with economic sanctions — also designed to deny Cuba hard currency — the travel ban would hasten the downfall of the Cuban government.
That was 52 years ago.Today the same economic sanctions remain in place. The travel ban remains in force. And the Cuban government remains in power.
The time has arrived to allow all Americans to travel to Cuba, without the need for government permission and without the necessity of official pretext.
