Professional artists are always deriving inspiration from each other. How much borrowing is ok?
Post some pics of characters or concepts by different artists that look similar to each other ^^Similar Threads

One thing to remember is that for examples like the first and last one, they are wearing armour...which is undoubtedly based on real historical armours. So you can't really say they are stealing from each other, more like reusing historical examples to to make their designs more believable.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." -- Bruce Lee
Yeah that's a funny idea too.. If there is a historical example that someone uses, and someone else gets inspiration from person A without knowing it's a historical example, is it a problem?
You'll also need to remember that there are also many character archetypes that also play into to stuff like this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...lorsEvilColors though it isn't to say that this doesn't happen, especially in Japan: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShanaClone http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...ReiAyanamiExpy (and in the Dark Age of comics) where series latch onto character archetypes that are popular.
Though I don't really get the third image, it's the same character with palette swap and pasted on stock image?
Also, I'd note that like Andrew Sonea said, both the first and last one are based on real armor, especially since the last one is pretty much Lord Buckhurst's armor (which, as your own comparison image shows wasn't the only one that went with similar design, as black and white armor was used in the army during those ages to separate ranks):
Sometimes it's just good to remember that everything's been done, and sometimes people just want to draw things that are similar because they like them.
"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
The more I see examples of character design for games, the more I realise that I would totally burn out creatively if I ever worked in that specialisation for few years. Normally my fascination with drawing people comes from the story behind them but as a job of doing hundreds of turnarounds it would be no more than being make-up artists that just shuffles with archetypes.
I don't get the purpose of this thread. Sometimes things look like other things. Sometimes it's coincidence. Sometimes it's a result of common origin. Sometimes it's a result of common function. Sometimes it's a result of overt reference (homage). Sometimes it's a result of covert reference (ripoff).

To be fair I feel some artists take it a bit far and do strait up copy other artists designs, i had this the other day on devient art...
I commented on someones image that he obviously really likes Aaron Beck's work, turns now that he has now adjusted and re uploaded the image so it doesn't look as much like an image Aaron Beck created and i am now 'Deviously Denied' from commenting now.
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
My Sketchbook-
Yeah as a society we are pretty sensitive about the whole copying vs creating thing, as opposed to say countries like China or South Korea. Though interestingly South Koreans are beginning to take issue with copying.. I heard the artist in the first picture got slammed hard on some web forums for appearing to copy the drama
Elwell: I guess the point is to post pictures of similar looking characters..?
That archtype stuff is nifty, great way to see links between characters in a new way
aren't you guys afraid to post your character designs because of copyrighst issues? by the way how would some one get there stuff copyrighted?
Why would you be afraid? I mean just saying that the chances of someone taking your design and starting to make loads of money is pretty slim. Like being afraid of posting ANY work because you know, somebody might steal it. Besides your stuff sill belongs to you, whether you pay for copyright or not: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/fa...al.html#mywork http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html
Besides you don't copyright a character design, you trademark it.

"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
The more you know about something, the more you see subtle differences and the more important those differences seem to you. My husband who is, to say the least, not into bluegrass music can't tell one piece from another (old saying: there are only five bluegrass songs, and three of them are Soldier's Joy). But if you're into it, the differences are huge.
But to me, all Space Marines look exactly alike. Mechs, too.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
with that said, there are often many legal battles that go on in regards to creative properties. It's less so much as someone stealing the original, as much as it is, did they change it enough?
Think david bowies under pressure, versus vanilla ice's ice ice baby. Adding one additional note into the original song, gave him a legal case for creative ownership. So vanilla lost and had to pay some form of settlement, but creative stealing is almost a part of the job.
as a rule though, I have just recently read, that once a piece of work is solid, you own it. There is a certain level of copyright protection in the creators favor. But technically you do not own the idea or thought process. If you tell someone about an idea you are thinking of working on (let's say a cat girl in armor) if they draw this character, and don't give you any credit, they are legally in the okay.
But who knows how this may change in the near future with people buying fine art ideas/ immaterial art.
But all in all, I guess the line for how much borrowing is okay, is a bit up to the moral conscious of the "copying" artist and the original creator.

The only thing that's actual theft is number 3 where they just took parts of the original and pasted other shit on top.

not at all... how big is the chance that someone takes a job-opportunity i would like to and be able to fill, by stealing my idea? i might be naive about that, but i see it as pretty slim to non existant. therefore im not really hurt. also if your design skills are good, youre save (not saying mine would be lol far from it), because amateurs can try to rip of the best ever design and still make it look like shit, because they pay attention to the wrong things (look at comparrisson 3 in this thread).
the only question is, would you rather not post your design or disfigure them by a watermark, getting no or a worse than possible exposure, or would you rather take the risk, because theres simply no better alternative?
[edit] also... whats a better proof, of the creation date of a certain piece, than posting it on a public platform only a few could influence date-wise?

"Good artists copy, great artists steal."
Isn't the whole point of art to 'steal' ideas and revision them as your own? I really have no problems with most of the pictures you posted except the the third image which is blatantly a poorly photo-manipulated version of the original.
What would Caravaggio do?

what is right...
If you are referring to stealing what the creator(s) of the universe have created (assuming you believe that way), than yeah okay, I can see that.
But the whole point of art is not to steal.
at least not for me.
Is it an aspect? of the learning process, sure. Of my creative process, I have been guilty of using reference sure- everyone does.
But do I want to copy someone elses work? NO
I don't even like copying my own work.
Art is about evolution- growth. Change, and expression.
Do I look at someone else's work with envy and respect, and think "man I wish I could do that". DUh. (yeah if you don't know what I mean by duh). Do I then redraw what they created? very rarely. Do I adopt their composition? Maybe. do I copy their subject? very very rarely.
I am influenced byy the work of others, all of the time. "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery". But this doesn't mean that I simply copy their work.
And Yulai, your post may be worded very wrongly, But to me the whole point is almost the opposite of what you seem to believe.
When I look at let's say the mona lisa, I see a very well done portrait. If I like it, I study how it is done. And yes, in time, my work may be effected so that it has many similarities to Divinci's work. Yes I may pose a portrait in the same way The mona lisa is.but that is far from the point of it. I'm not simply taking a photo and drawing a mustache on the face. the whole point is to learn, and to please the eye.
To me, copy is just a sign of learning.
Eventually, I hope to be skilled enough, that my work stands on it's own, not for "revision" of someone else's work, but rather for my work providing others insight into the world I see. I hope that one day someone will see my work, and imitate me. not copy, and revise, but be worthy of study from.
for me the whole point of art is growth, and personal expression; The showing of others the beauty I see, and hopefully effecting them in a positive way.
stealing ideas is accidental.
Fudge this AWESOME place!!!

Ideas are cheap. Execution is the hard part.
Though there are some artists where their execution is rather nice but their ideas suck.
Yeah, that came out wrong. Firstly, the word I was looking for was re-envision not revision. Secondly, the whole point of my post was to state that there really is nothing new under the sun concept-wise and so as artists we need to take these old ideas and "re-see" them as something different-something beautiful. The quote I used: "Good artists copy, great artists steal.", was to show that just copying something will not make you a great artist, you need to truly understand and "steal" the essence of something to become great, as many of you have pointed out.
My larger issue was with "the whole point of art" comment. With this whole "nothing new under the sun" idea I also take issue. It always seems to break down to those that think everything has already been done and we're just re-hashing/re-combining things to mke them look new...vs. those that think there can be original thought. I fall into the second category. If you are of the first then I would ask at what point in history were all the ideas finally used up? At what point did we turn the corner and now can only "re-see" old ideas in new ways?
What would Caravaggio do?

I'm sorry you took offense, JeffX99. While I respect and understand where you are coming from, I still personally feel that everything has already been done in one form or another. When did this happened? I really don't know the answer to that. Again, I'm sorry and I really did not intend my comment to get this out of hand. I'll try not to make broad sweeping statements in the future.
Yulai, don't back down, you haven't offended anyone, you just have a personal view, that others don't agree with. I think you made a good argument.
Ideas evolve exponentially. By using the skills and knowledge of those of the past, we can then build on them, and those in the future can use our ideas and so on and so forth. It's x squared. but I do have to disagree that there are no new ideas. true new ideas are harder to come by than they were in the past, but they aren't impossible. If you don't try for new ideas, you will never have one.
Fudge this AWESOME place!!!

No offense taken Yulai - don't worry about that. Merely discussing the point, sorry if it came across harsh. And I don't mean this to sound patronizing or dismissive so please don't take it that way, but I've found that ususally people who feel "everything has already been done" don't have a very broad view of things. Basically it is more a point of philosophy than anything and it likely just gets down to the semantics involved. BUT, I will say that if you believe it has all been done...that implies there was a point at which it wasn't...and therefore a turning point.
What would Caravaggio do?

My point with that is mainly to counter those people who get huffy and neurotic out of the idea that they might be either accidentally/unconsciously copying someone or having influences or actually take offense to finding out that they actually aren't the only ones using things X and Z in design (especially when those things are usually very basic) or that there's similar characters/designs existing out there.
Life becomes much easier when you don't put too much pressure into making/expecting everything to be 100% original. And that it's okay to take inspiration from stuff that exists.
"I eat comics and poop stylization"
♞Sketchbook (Critiques, no compliments please.)
In a way, everything ties into everything else (shared planet, shared culture, shared history, shared myths, shared universal human traits and experiences, etc.) So in THAT way, few things are going to be 100% pure never-before-seen-anything-remotely-like-it "original". On the other hand, you can (and should) have your own unique point of view on the shared experience of everything. That's how people can keep coming up with new stories even though there are supposedly only about a dozen basic stories in the world. Every storyteller worth their salt has their own take on the basic dozen stories, and that's what keeps them interesting.
Where people seem to run into problems is if they either get so paranoid about doing anything remotely similar to any existing art ever made anywhere that they freeze up and don't make any art at all; or if people use "everything-has-been-done-before" as an excuse to not even TRY to have a unique point of view.
Think for yourself, but don't freak out if you find out somebody else thought of something vaguely similar sometime, somewhere.
Absolutely...the opposite danger of that is the annoying pre-occupation in "academic, post-modern fine art" of forced originality - having to come up with something "original" simply for the sake of being original. The thing people forget is yeah, this may have been done before...but not by me. Sort of the philosophy of following a path...others have walked it but it opens new vistas for me.

Where did my widgets go?
Hi, All. I could use some help. I downloaded the new ICS Tuesday evening and it's fine, except that when I go into "personalize" and then click to add a widget, the page is blank. I let it sit, thinking it's just taking a while to load but to no avail; the page stays blank. It is not rooted. I have restarted multiple times and also done a battery pull. Not sure what else to do. Any thoughts? Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help! It is appreciated. - 02-07-2013, 06:44 AM #2

Mine are all there post upgrade. Have you tried the obvious reboot, or battery pull?

The only other thing I would recommend is to do a factory reset, which I think is ALWAYS a good idea when you're changing the os like this.

Go into Settings, then Storage, and at the very bottom is the Factory Reset option. Remember, it will completely wipe your phone and put it back in a "like new" state, but I do think it will fix everything.

I have the same issue with the widgets all being gone. I am concerned about doing a Factory Reset, as my phone is used for work, and i assume i will lose all my contacts, email, exchange server, etc... Is that already being backed up or can i back it up or do i need to back it up?

"Galaxy" Nike Zoom Rookie – Glow in the Dark
August 15th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 12 comments
Remember how the Nike Air Foamposite One 'Galaxy' actually had some separate samples showing off a slightly altered version of the starry printed upper? Well as it turns out the next sneaker in line to get the 'Galaxy' look the Nike Zoom Rookie has some differing versions floating out there as well. What's the difference? This tweaked version of the sneaker comes sporting a more thorough glow in the dark touch, the luminous treatment hitting on the pods that run along the side in place of the plain old black that we've seen recently. Click through to check out this alternate version of the 'Galaxy' Nike Zoom Rookie and stick with Sneaker News for word on which one will actually arrive on the September release date.
Photos: Marquee Sole
Filed under: Foamposite, Hybrid, Nike Air Penny, Upcoming Sneakers // Tags: Nike Zoom Rookie LWP, Nike Zoom Rookie LWP 'Galaxy'
maybe theyll release both versions and have the glow in the dark ones limitedd and the black pod ones GR
putting the galaxy colorway: an attempt by nike to generate more sales for a shoe that didn't meet the projected numbers as far as dollar figures are concerned...
I wanna cop but I need a release date to start saving. Anyone have an idea of how much they'll be?
@Jigs If it's an attempt to make $$$$, why not make them a general release at stores EVERYWHERE instead of select locations in limited supply???? I'm just saying, according to basic marketing principals and the demand for this particular shoe, Nike would be taking a loss as far as profit goes. Not a gain
my bad, i missed the memo that this is not GR... i dont see it anywhere. nevertheless, the basic principles of marketing does not apply here. i dont see ads for this that nike would have spent a significant amount of money on to gain public exposure... i dont see it in billboards, nike's website, tv commercials, or other marketing outlets out there. i see it mainly in sneaker websites such as this which nike probably did not spend a ton of money on (if any at all) to have it featured as such...
as for the demand - not too many as far as the shoe model is concerned. i see other colorways of this shoe still in stock at popular shoe outlets such as eastbay, footlocker, etc. Hence, my comment that this galaxy colorway is nike's attempt to boost sales for this shoe.
and as far as taking a loss and not a gain - no matter how many nike makes, GR or Limited, they would make money off of it. these are made in china. nike pays a very small fraction of the msrp to produce these. do you honestly think nike would venture out on some joints that they would actually lose money on? i think their execs are smarter than that...
but then again, these are all just my opinion. :)
@Jigs No, so far it's not a general release. Hopefully Nike will have a change of heart and make it so. I certainly don't want to see a repeat of the chaos of Feb. And last Dec. As far as business goes, basic principals always apply. The most important principle being supply and demand. In the Internet age, one doesn't have to spend major marketing $'s on an established brand. Use a web outlet, as such, plant the seed, watch it grow legs and sprint like Usain Bolt. Think about it, when is the last time you've seen a Jordan commercial on TV for an upcoming release? Now, demand. Demand can always be broken down into demographics. Just because a shoe doesn't do well in some areas doesn't mean it didn't in others. For example, military blue's and fire red 4's sold out in most markets. Go to Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, TN and I bet you wouldn't have a problem getting either in damn near any size. I'd bet my yearly salary that Nike/JB isn't hurting in the earnings Dept from these particular shoes. As far as gains and loses, I was just speaking generaly on the comparison of profitability between limited releases and general releases. We all know Nike isn't going to take a loss and hasnt taken one probably since the signing of MJ himself as a signature athlete. I'm just saying......

It takes 5 minutes to unlock, and all of the wireless carriers in my area have no problem with me using one. I believe if someone is savvy enough to want an iphone for the features (outside of the 'glamour' factor) then they are savvy enough to unlock the phone themself. |
I wouldn't be surprised if that would break some law or something, after all the Iphone is just for ATT. |
Wouldn't surprise me either. |
It's probably breaking your contract from when you got the phone, if it were against the law it'd be smeared all over the net. Soon as another country comes out with the Iphoney knock off which never takes long it's moot any way. |

The players, though, don't expect much to change, at least not immediately.
"Coach Stewart always let his assistants do the coaching, so I doubt much is going to change,'' Braun said. "We know how they're going to coach [after going through five weeks of spring practice] and it shouldn't be any different.''
The sudden nature of the changes, though, has left the players a bit dizzy after a week in which their only source of information about what was happening was media accounts and social networking. And while the whole thing seemed to drag on during the week, the reality is that in the end it was all concluded within a matter of days.
"It came out of nowhere,'' said Tandy, who for days was bombarded by questions from friends and family and had to tell them he knew nothing. "And the next thing I knew, it was all over.''
Not everyone, though, sees the change as anything that will clear the air. A few, like defensive end Bruce Irvin, didn't see much difficulty with having Stewart and Holgorsen co-exist, so now having only one of them remain isn't that big an issue.
"We'll do the same things, just with a different head coach,'' said Irvin. "It's pretty much going to be the same. Stewart ran what he ran and Holgorsen ran what he ran.''
But in the end, just the awkwardness of the entire situation was beginning to wear on some. Now that awkwardness - at least from the standpoint of how many head coaches the team has - has been relieved.
"We came in [Saturday] morning, had a small workout and it felt like a weight was off your back,'' Tandy said.

"The Bose Soundlink is great sound in a small package."
4.5 starson by Chunky168Pros: Great fit and finish quality. Stylish and elegant design. Great sound. Simple to use.
Cons: Price? $350 for headphones and $350 for Soundlink? If there is a dat update in the future, where is my cable to complete the process? The hookup is back there!
Summary: There are two names to me that are synonymous with high quality and they are Bose and Apple. I could nt wait to get my hands on this speaker and it was well worth the wait. Th sound is absolutely astounding from such a small package. The weight gives it a nice high quality feel as well.
I love music but I don't have all of the equipment of some fancy sound lab. I get plenty highs and lows and enough midrange from this speaker so I'm not trying to impress anyone with megahertz readings and etc. It sounds good so enough said. If you want A1 performance, go with this product. You will not be disappointed!

Trending upwards are Martin St. Louis (Canada) and Sami Salo; downwards, Ondrej Palat (Czech Republic) as Day 3 of the Olympic hockey tournament in Sochi is wrapped up.
The Czech Republic and Latvia are seeking their first wins of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Group C play.
Ondrej Palat was the only Lightning player to take the ice in Day 1 at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
Sweden opened the 2014 Winter Olympic with four straight goals in a 4-2 victory over the Czech Republic. Erik Karlsson stole the show with two goals while 41-year-old Jaromir Jagr proved he can still play with the best in the world in Sochi.
In the latest international update for Chivas USA players, we go over the exploits of defender Steve Purdy and midfielder Marky Delgado.
Because racing to date just hasn't had enough hills.
The Czechs didn't really put up much of a fight today.
Canada and Sweden are on the sidelines, waiting for opponents.
Finally the games that matter have begun, as the United States takes on the Czech Republic for the right to face Canada or Sweden.
Somebody on the Czech physio team is a just little too enamored with Christopher Nolan. Or maybe he loves Tim Burton. I vote for Tim Burton. Where does he get those wonderful toys? For those too...

Italian economy minister calls end to recession this year: press
- Tweet
- Share this
MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's economy will begin emerging from its longest slump since World War Two in the fourth quarter of this year and should grow through 2014, Economy Minister Fabrizio Saccomanni said.
Asked when Italy would exit the recession, Saccomanni told Rome daily Il Messaggero in an interview published on Sunday: "By the end of this year.
"The signs can already be seen in this third quarter, the fourth quarter should see the first positive number. And the whole of 2014 will be positive."
Italy has been in recession since mid-2011 and the country's central bank expects gross domestic product to contract by around 2 percent in 2013 and grow by about 0.5 percent in 2014.
The Rome government, which faces the challenge of reviving the economy while keeping the public deficit within EU-mandated limits, has a 1.3 percent growth forecast for 2014. Most analysts and European authorities see that as too optimistic.
The European Commission recommended in May that Italy be removed from the EU's excessive deficit blacklist, ending strict monitoring of Italian finances which began when it breached the 3 percent-of-GDP limit in 2009.
Saccomanni said now it was no longer blacklisted, Italy had more money to spend for investments and pay arrears the state owes to firms, provided it did not breach the threshold.
Italy is also under pressure to bring down its public debt, which at a projected level of around 130 percent of GDP this year is the second highest in the euro zone after Greece.
Saccomanni said the government would move ahead with plans to use the sale of state properties to cut the debt, though estimates Rome could reap 400 billion euros from the sale of state assets were too high.
"We will start with real estate... it will not be an easy or quick job... but it is right to get going to give a concrete signal to the market," the minister told the newspaper.
He declined to comment on whether stakes held by the state in companies such as Eni (ENI.MI), Finmeccanica (SIFI.MI) and Enel (ENEI.MI) could be sold as part of the debt reduction plan.
In a wide-ranging interview, he also said he met his Swiss counterpart last week and they had agreed to resume negotiations on bank transparency and tax evasion in the autumn.
"The aim is that they give us a list of our compatriots who have capital in Switzerland, and we will tax them," he said.

Steward Health Lost $14.6M in 2011
Boston-based Steward Health Care System posted an operating loss of $14.6 million in 2011 and ran a total deficit of $56.9 million for the year, according to a report from Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley's office.
However, the for-profit system, which is owned by the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, obeyed mandates set down by state regulators before they approved Steward's November 2010 acquisition of the six hospitals owned by non-profit Caritas Christi Health Care, according to the 70-page compliance monitoring report.
State monitors do not appear to be overly concerned about the red ink in Steward's first year of operation.
"The review reinforces previous findings that Steward acquired community hospitals in deteriorating financial condition and with significant deferred capital investment needs," the report says.
"The first year review indicates that Steward is striving to meet its stated goal of keeping more care in the community. One year of performance information is not enough to predict how Steward will perform in future years."

Update 10/24/2008: Added Stress Test
At a Glance | |
Product | NETGEAR Wireless-N Router (WNR2000) NETGEAR Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter (WN111V2) |
Summary | Low-cost single-band draft 802.11n router based on Atheros XSPAN |
Pros | • Street price around $70 • Uplink QoS • 100 Mbps wire speed routing • Decent wireless range |
Cons | • Not as cheap as other entry-level draft 11n products • Unbalanced up and downlink throughput • Unusually low WEP and WPA/TKIP downlink speed |
NETGEAR missed the Cheap Draft 802.11n Router Roundup because it didn't have a two-antenna product in the $50-$70 price range. Sure, it had the aging WNR834B, which was close in price and had three vs. two antennas. But I had already reviewed it, so didn't include it in the round-up.
Well, NETGEAR now has a new entry-level single-band draft 802.11n router—the WNR2000. So let's take a look and see if it's a better alternative for a cheap draft 11n router.
Internal Details
The FCC ID doc photos are very fuzzy and don't really show the component details. And since the product has heatsinks on the switch and CPU/Mac/Baseband chips (a good thing!) I had to make some guesses about the 2000's components.
Figure 1: WNR2000 board
Unlike the original WNR834B, the 2000 is based on Atheros' AR9100AP chipset. It features a combined CPU/MAC/BaseBand SoC, radio chip and separate switch. I can't tell whether the radio chip in Figure 2 is the AR9102 2.4 GHz 2x2 radio or AR9103 2.4 GHz 3x3 radio. This is further complicated by presence of the three "metamaterial" antennas.
Figure 2: WNR2000 radio detail
But NETGEAR was kind enough to tell me that the radio is the 3x3 AR9103 and the CPU/MAC/Baseband the AR9132. The 10/100 switch is an Atheros AR8216 6 port 10/100 and I could clearly tell from looking at the board that there is 32 MB of RAM and 4 MB of flash.
NETGEAR sent along a WN111V2 RangeMax Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter as the companion adapter. The original WN111 used a Marvell "TopDog" draft 11n chipset (Figure 3), comprised of an 88W8060 2.4 GHz transceiver and 88W8362 MAC/BB.
Figure 3: WN111 V1 radio detail
But the V2 uses an Atheros 9001 USB chipset, made up of an AR9170 MAC/BB and AR9101 1x2 MIMO Single-band 2.4 GHz Radio.
Figure 4: WN111 V2 radio detail
I think this is a better choice, since I have found that it's still best to stay with the same chipset manufacturer for AP and client for best performance.

Will be replacing this device
I have had a terrible experience with this router. The wireless simply stops working every 24 hrs. I have tried all the tips in the forums so much so that my machine is now cluttered with utils and test apps that I have almost run out of desktop real-estate as well as disk space...
I give up. I need a reliable device, so I will be looking at something else.
Super good
This unit works very well for the money.. It keeps a good signal all the time.
If your looking for a good one to download big files" Then this is the one for you.

Standard(s): | ISO/IEC 15445 W3C HTML 4.01 W3C HTML 5 (draft) |
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language for creating webpages. Webpages are usually viewed in a web browser. They can include writing, links, pictures, and even sound and video. HTML is used to mark and describe each of these kinds of content so the web browser can show them correctly.
HTML can also be used to add meta information to a webpage. Meta information is information about the web page. For example, the name of the person who made it. Meta information is not usually shown by web browsers.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript can be included in HTML code. CSS is used to change how a webpage looks. JavaScript is used to add features to webpages and make them more interactive.
HTML was made by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). There are many versions of HTML. The current standard is HTML 4.01. So, it is the version the W3C recommends. A newer version, called HTML5, will become standard within the next few years. The W3C also develops XHTML. This is another markup language which is very similar to HTML, but more strict.
Tags[change | edit source]
HTML uses special bits of programming language called "tags" to let the browser know how a webpage should look. The tags usually come in pairs: an opening tag to tell the browser when to start doing something, and an ending tag to tell the browser when to stop doing something. There are many different kinds of tags, and each one has a different purpose.
Opening tags have a keyword, such as "p," surrounded by angle brackets (< and >). For example, the tag

tells the browser the start a new paragraph. Ending tags look almost exactly the same, only they have a forward slash (/) added just before the keyword. For example, the tag

tells the browser to end a paragraph. A small number of tags, like

and

, can be used without an ending tag.
Some tags only work in certain browsers. For example, the <marquee>
tag, which is used to make a bit of writing slide across the page, only works in the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Other browsers simply ignore this tag and display the writing normally. Many web page creators avoid using these "non-standard" tags because they want their pages to look the same with all browsers.

Here is an example page in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>This is the title of the page.</title>

The W3C is making a new version of HTML, called HTML5, with more features and better support for things like online video. HTML5 is expected to become the standard version of HTML within the next few years.
Some of the new features in HTML5 are:
- The
tag which can be used with JavaScript to draw 2D pictures and animations. - A
tag for adding videos to a webpage. - A
tag for adding audio, like music or sound effects, to a webpage. - Tags for marking common kinds of content, including:
In addition, some features of HTML4 have been left out of HTML5. For example, the
tag, which is used to change how text looks on a page, is not available in HTML5. The W3C recommends doing this with CSS instead.
One of the aims of HTML5 is to remove the need to use third-party software like Adobe Flash, because it is often slow on mobile devices like phones and can be used to infect your computer with viruses. Another aim is to reduce the amount of program code (JavaScript) running in each webpage, thus making the web faster.
Currently, no browsers completely support all of HTML5's new features. However, some of the features are supported by Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari.

text: That's a very American-centric view of things. In Europe this happens all the time to TV shows and doesn't seem to have much affect on audiences maybe because we're used to it and don't have 22/26 episode length seasons(6 or 13 being the norm). Some shows can go years before the next is shown.

Police hide in LaGrange church to nab donation thief
sun-times media June 25, 2012 4:34PM
Daniel S. Blubaugh
Updated: June 25, 2012 4:34PM
La Grange police hiding inside St. Francis Xavier Church early Monday arrested a 31-year-old man as he tried to burglarize the church, police said.
Daniel S. Blubaugh of Naperville was arrested by two officers who hid in the church, 145 N. Waiola, after officials reported a pattern of Sunday donations coming up missing.
About 1:20 a.m., Blubaugh was seen entering the church and removing cash from donation boxes, police said.
He was immediately arrested, and later charged with burglary to a place of worship, possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest.
Blubaugh is scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday.

What can one conclude about Puck's physical description in Shakespeare's A Midsummer...
Topic: A Midsummer Night's Dream
What can one conclude about Puck's physical description in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream ?
2 Answers | add yours
Puck is usually portrayed as small, quick, and impish. He is described as a "sprite" by the fairy he meets in act 2, scene 1, which means he is a fairy or elf. In the same scene, he describes himself as being essentially Oberon's jester -- "I jest to Oberon, and make him smile" -- and while it is up to any given director to decide what that means for his appearance, a very common interpretation is to cast Puck as quirky and high-energy.
We know that Puck can move very fast, because he says that he will run around the world in 40 minutes to find an herb that Oberon has requested ("I'll put a girdle round about the earth/In forty minutes," act 2, scene 1). While this doesn't explicitly tell us his physical appearance, it does support the popular impression that he is small and fast.
We do know, however, that Puck can change his appearance at will. He says in the same scene:
"And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl
In very likeness of a roasted crab..."
"In very likeness" means "looking exactly like," so Puck is able to shape-shift.
Posted by srmitchell on February 27, 2011 at 1:13 AM (Answer #1)
Shakespeare usually relies on indirect characterization rather than direct, meaning that he does not come right out and tell us what a character is like or looks like. Instead, he paints the pictures of characterization through dialogue and through other characters' responses to the characters. Puck is one character that is characterized indirectly.
One thing we learn through dialogue about Puck's appearance is that he is very small. We learn about his size when Puck describes one of his antics as hiding in an old woman's ale mug pretending to be a crabapple. When the woman takes a drink, he then spills the ale all over her neck, as we see in his lines:
And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl
In very likeness of a roasted crab,
And, when she drinks, against her lips I bob,
And on her withered dewlap pour the ale. (II.i.48-51)
Since Puck is imitating a crabapple, which was used to spice drinks, we know that he is very small.
Another thing we can surmise about Puck's appearance is that he may actually be very ugly. A Puck is a Hobgoblin, which is not only a devilish sprite, or fairy, it is also a goblin, which is a particularly "grotesque," or ugly sprite or elf (Collins English Dictionary).
Finally, we also know that Puck has very speedy flying capabilities. We know this because, when Oberon commands him to find the "love-in-idleness flower," Puck replies, "I'll put a girdle round about the earth / In forty minutes" (178-179). In other words, Puck is saying that he'll circle around the earth in forty minutes.

HoopsHype rumors
Phil Jackson is seriously considering the Knicks' offer to join their front office in a role that would give him final say on basketball decisions, a league source told CBSSports.com on Saturday. Jackson, 68, is said to be leaning toward taking the job if the structure is right, said the source, who has been briefed on the Knicks' conversations with the 13-time NBA champion. CBSSports.com
Jackson is considering a front office structure with Steve Mills and Allan Houston handling the day-to-day duties while reporting to Jackson, the person said. At this point, it is not clear whether the rest of the Knicks' front-office lieutenants would stay if Jackson takes the job. CBSSports.com
Jackson, an 11-time champion as a coach - and two-time champion as a player for the Knicks - has stated he is finished on the sideline. The Knicks' front-office job is extremely appealing to him "if the setup is right," the person briefed on the discussions said. But that, according to league sources, may be a big obstacle given Madison Square Garden's complicated corporate structure and the overbearing influence of owner and Garden chairman James Dolan. CBSSports.com
Despite his heightened interest in the Knicks' job, Jackson is said to be interested in less day-to-day involvement than, say, Pat Riley has as president of the Miami Heat. One league source described Jackson's potential role as "a very expensive consultant who would have final say." CBSSports.com
Marc Berman: Mills on report Jax leaning toward taking basketball operations job says "Can't talk about it." Twitter @NYPost_Berman
The Rockets had a familiar face on the practice court on Saturday afternoon. Hakeem Olajuwon was in the gym working with several players. He spent a lot of time with Omer Asik, Terrence Jones and Dwight Howard. "Its a great learning experience – a Hall of Famer, one of the best bigs to ever play this game and he has so much knowledge and experience," Jones said. "It's so much to take in." Jones said he and Olajuwon worked specifically on post moves. "He has so many counters and ways to get to the middle of the paint, which is the best way to score for a big," Jones said. "He is teaching me ways to get there." Houston Chronicle
Carmelo Anthony is way up there, but can't beat two legends from the run-and-gun teams of the 80's. |
While a decision has not been made, Phil Jackson is leaning toward taking a front-office job with the New York Knicks, a source close to the team tells ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. ESPN.com
Jackson's role would be president of basketball operations, in complete control of all basketball-related matters, according to the source. ESPN.com
It is unclear whether the decision would include an agreement to coach the Knicks next season, the source said. A decision is expected sometime next week. ESPN.com

I can't get enough of Louis Corbett. The 12-year-old from New Zealand has a degenerative eye disease which will one day make him blind, and his parents want to give him a visual bank of memories before he loses his vision. One of the things he wanted to do was take in a Boston Celtics game. They're his favorite team. After the organization found out about his wish, a plan was set into motion to bring him to a game. (Details here.) Corbett sat courtside earlier this week when the Celtics hosted the Warriors. He got to meet his favorite player, Rajon Rondo, and even received a pair of autographed sneakers from him. Booth Newspapers
Kevin Durant may end up claiming the No. 1 spot, but for now it belongs to Gary Payton. |
The Cavs even chose this date in October after consulting with James on whether he'd be able to fly over from Chicago, where the Heat are staying on an off night. Technically, James is coming at Ilgauskas' request, but the process of picking the game revolved around James' schedule and was orchestrated by the Cavs. ESPN.com
This is one of the reasons why over the past year, the Cavs have started to genuinely believe there was a chance they could get James to return in free agency this summer. The thaw between James and Cleveland and James and the Cavs organization has been clear. The Cavs even started making roster moves -- signing players on short contracts like Andrew Bynum, Earl Clark and Luol Deng -- to try to assure they would have open cap space in order to sign him. ESPN.com
There were two people within the Cavs organization with whom James maintained good relations over the past four years. They were general manager Chris Grant and Ilgauskas, who joined the team's front office in 2012 after his retirement. Grant was fired last month, blamed for the Cavs' underwhelming season, while some of his recent draft picks were heavy scrutinized. Ilgauskas, meanwhile, has taken on a reduced role. ESPN.com

If the NBA doesn't work out, what's your backup plan? Aquille Carr: I haven't really thought about that. Right now I'm focused on the NBA. I have good people around me. My agent (Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports Management) has me on a good route. I'm focusing on what I can do on the court. Ridiculous Upside
Perhaps not. It has been four months (and counting) since Mills has said anything in public. He has not addressed the Knicks' disappointing season. He has not addressed Carmelo Anthony's looming free agency. He has not addressed Raymond Felton's recent arrest on weapons charges. And he has not addressed Mike Woodson's future, leaving the coach to fend for himself. New York Times
Under Nike Basketball, you have both Kevin Durant and LeBron. Is there any competition between you three? Kobe Bryant: No. I don't think so. I think Nike does an incredible job of just listening to the voice of the athlete. The athlete really determines the direction of their brand and how their line goes. Because of that, we are all different in personality and philosophies. The direction is going to be completely different. I think because of that, you really don't see any direct competition as it pertains to our lines. I support LeBron's stuff. I support KD's stuff. We are around, we always talk and share ideas and concepts around each collection. complex.com
In an interview with Russ (Bengtson) you mentioned a Kobe 9 Low. Is there anything you can tell us? Kobe Bryant: Yeah. The low is obviously something I decided to do in 2009, which, turned a lot of heads. It was met with a lot of uncertainty. but since, it was really latched on to the culture. So that is an area of the business that we are not going to go away from. I'll put it to you that way. complex.com
Miley Cyrus partied Friday at The Underground, but the 21-year-old "Wrecking Ball" singer wasn't even the most famous person at the club that night. That honor goes to LeBron James. The NBA mega-star – in town to face the Bulls at the United Center Sunday -- made an appearance at Y-Bar and then hit The Underground with Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh. Cyrus headed to The Underground after performing Friday at Allstate Arena. She was joined by opening act, Icona Pop, who dined earlier that night at Nellcote. Rounding out the star-studded night at Underground was Larenz Tate ("Rescue Me"). The Chicago native is scheduled to appear Saturday at Lumen. Chicago Tribune

D'Alessandro seems to think White is headed down the right path. From their meeting and workout that led to his signing, the 22-year-old forward left an impression on the Kings general manager that he's serious and determined about this new chance to get back in the league. "The focus in our conversation was just, this is about basketball," D'Alessandro said of his talks with White. "That's what this is about. And getting back on the court is something that he wants to do. "Because he doesn't have to do this right now," D'Alessandro added, noting that White is still receiving an additional paycheck due to the two-year guaranteed deal players get as first round picks. "He chose to do this right now. This is his decision." Cowbell Kingdom
The question is whether Smith and his new team can get there after yet another bad loss by the Pistons, 114-101 Friday to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game decided early. "I just want to make the playoffs. I'm not paying attention on me trying to get in over them," Smith said, referring to the Hawks, the hometown team with which he spent his first nine seasons. "I just want to be able to win games and be able to give ourselves the opportunity to make the postseason. "I've been there for six consecutive years and when you get into a position like that, you kind of get addicted to it. That's who I am; (I'm) at the point in my career where I want to be able to be successful and give myself a chance to win the title." Booth Newspapers
The NBA Draft has been two rounds since Mark Cuban became the Dallas Mavericks' owner on Jan. 4, 2000. But he would like to see that expanded. "I'd like to see four rounds so you can draft guys overseas, get more guys drafted that are your property so you can try to develop them," Cuban said before Friday's game against Portland. "Because once they get into the 'I'm a free agent, I wasn't drafted grind,' ... you've got to realize that toward the bottom of the second round there are teams that pick for financial reasons, and that takes advantage of guys that might have otherwise been picked. "Rather than me making a call, 'Hey, so-and-so, you're the 61st pick in the NBA draft,' It would be better to have the draft [expanded], but again, it's not my say." Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"I got a text from him [Wednesday night], and he was going into the hospital. He occasionally sent updates, and that was the night of the Denver game he passed away, and I just wanted to mention him. He was a special guy that I knew for six years here." Fort Worth Star-Telegram
LeBron James has the best selling jersey these days, but that's been more the exception than the norm during his time in the league. |
While Jackson has made it clear to any team that has approached him that he prefers a front-office role that would allow him to shape and mold a franchise the way Miami Heat president Pat Riley has, he is open to the possibility of coaching for a short period of time if it was necessary in a transition period for a franchise with championship aspirations, the source said. ESPN.com
He would not consider any coaching position that did not have a significant guarantee of personnel power as well, sources said. ESPN.com
Sources previously told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that New York Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills recently met with Jackson regarding the possibility of him becoming the team's next coach. The sources said Jackson, 68, told the Knicks he was not interested in the position. ESPN.com
A source, meanwhile, confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com's Ian Begley that the Knicks have offered Jackson a front-office position. ESPN.com

ESPN reported Knicks general manager Steve Mills recently met with Phil Jackson offering a coaching job while others, including The Post, reported the team is interested in the legendary coach for a front-office job. Just another day for the Knicks. "I don't know what's going on. I stay out of it man. I focus on basketball, that's my job. Stay out of it," Amar'e Stoudemire said. "I guess when you're not winning, it opens the doors for a lot of rumors, you know? Our job is to win. If we win, there wouldn't be any of these distractions." Just another distraction for the Knicks. "I hope not, not at this point. We've been through it this year. … We've been able to weather through most distractions so far this year and hopefully we can get over this one," Stoudemire said. New York Post

Anthony added that he expected several more months of similar reports until he decided what he wanted to do. "Without a doubt," he said. "Everybody will have their own take on different stories. I've got to focus on ball, and whatever stories is going to be out there, I can't control that." New York Times
Paul Pierce would consider a return to the Boston Celtics, both as a player and coach. Speaking to the media after the Brooklyn Nets' 91-84 loss to the Boston Celtics, Pierce revealed that a return in the future in some capacity could be in the cards. "Yeah, why not?" Pierce said when asked if he would possibly play for the Celtics again. "Maybe as a player, maybe as a coach. Who knows what the future holds?" Celtics Blog
Pierce's future in Boston is not just limited to basketball, as he is planning on planting his roots in the city. "Ultimately, what I would like to do is have a business in Boston," he said. "Maybe like a sports bar. I would love to do something like that here. None of the former Celtic great players have come and done that. I thought about it, and why hasn't anyone come and opened up a nice restaurant? You see the Don Shula restaurant, the Michael Jordan restaurant, and Magic [Johnson] got the theaters in LA. Why nobody here? All this history, all these championships and love, why has nobody done that? "I am going to still have relationships here. I'm always going to come to this city. Every year, when I'm done, I'm going to have a reason to come here." Celtics Blog
Gooden received a nameplate this week, which provided some added incentive. It also made Gooden more likely to commit to the Wizards if other teams come pursuing when his next deal expires on March 18. "You hear a lot about it's no loyalty, but the Wizards…gave me this opportunity, why wouldn't I stay here?" Gooden said. "It's some point of loyalty for me to redeem myself, rejuvenate myself as a player. I don't forget things like that and if it ever came down the line where it's another team out there that wants me, I believe the Wizards would be my first choice." Washington Post
But instead of seeking revenge during his return to Milwaukee nearly seven months after they severed ties, Gooden said he plans to focus on the fans, who often serenaded him with chants of "We want Drew" while he watched others play. "The people that had my back the most out there were my teammates and the fans. That's who had my back and who had me going throughout that whole season," Gooden said. That was a joy to see, that they really enjoyed me being there and they respected my work I put in there. That was the one thing that motivated me to come to work and still go hard in the morning."

James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Evan Turner of the Indiana Pacers have both received technical fouls after a scuffle in the third quarter. Turner was fouled by Chandler Parsons after he stole the ball from Patrick Beverley on Friday night. Turner pushed Harden with one hand at the end of the play.

The phone eventually did ring, and that's when Jason Collins, playing for the Brooklyn Nets, became the first openly gay athlete to play in one of the four major sports leagues. It was a history-making event for one news cycle, and then we returned to regularly scheduled programming: Except for the occasional crank, nobody much cares that Collins is gay. Boston Herald
So you're 35, your skills are limited and specific, there's all this buzz and speculation going on, and you have to block it all out and prepare yourself for a team that may never call and a game that will never be played. "I never really thought along those lines," he said. "As a professional, you always have to stay ready. ... You never know when that opportunity's going to come, and when it does come you have to be ready." Collins understands he needs to address the gay thing in every city he plays. He's OK with it, though he indicated yesterday that by now there's a sameness to the questions. Except that there was a bit of local news yesterday: Though Collins said he had no plans to come out during his time with the Celtics, it was while he was in Boston that he was made aware of then-Celtics coach Doc Rivers' feelings about having an openly gay player. Boston Herald
"One hundred percent supportive," Collins told a gathering of media types yesterday at the Garden, before his team's game against the Celtics. "Everyone's been supportive." And then, to better illustrate the limited shelf life of this story, he scanned the size of the media contingent and said, "Mainly it's the size of this. Now it's 10. It started out as 40. So the size is going down." Boston Herald

Miyah, who was diagnosed with Stage 3B Burkitt's lymphoma late last year, wants nothing more than to meet Nicki and wear one of her signature pink wigs. But as inspirational as Miyah has been, having endured seven chemo treatments to date and still battling with complications resulting from those grueling sessions, meeting a celebrity like Nicki can be a tall order. That's where Washington Wizards' John Wall comes in. The recent Slam Dunk champion has taken up Miyah's campaign with one of his own driven by social media with the hashtags #HelpMiyahMeetNicki and #PinkWigForMiyah.

- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
- Crackers or bread
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, salmon, cheddar cheese and pickle relish. Serve with crackers or bread. Yield: 1 cup.

It is good, but I prefer to use smoked salmon. It gives the spread a richer, more full-bodied flavor.

WEST Lancashire Borough Council will give residents some New Year cheer by extending Sandy Lane Car Park in Skelmersdale and providing funding for improvements to Moor Street in Ormskirk.
As previously revealed in the Advertiser, the extension of the Sandy Lane Car Park will provide 33 extra spaces and a £63,000 budget has been approved for this project. The extra spaces for the Sandy Lane Car Park will be on the current grass verge area close to the health centre.
£265,000 has been allocated by the Council for the Moor Street scheme which will include putting new paving on the pedestrianised street.
What do you think of the improvements set for Moor Street and Sandy Lane Car Park? Respond to this article below.
Councillor Martin Forshaw, portfolio holder for Planning and Development, said: "I am delighted that the Council has been able to provide funding for these schemes.
"The improvements to Moor Street will really brighten up this main town centre street and therefore improve facilities for visitors to the town. Sandy Lane car park is always very busy so having the extra spaces will be of great benefit."
Borough Council officers will be working closely on the Moor Street scheme with colleagues from Lancashire County Council, which is recommending the allocation of additional funding to support the scheme.
More details will emerge in the next few months, but the Council would also look to upgrading the street lighting as part of the scheme together with the removal of any unwanted signs and street furniture, which will help de-clutter the town centre.
