Lackey: Angels Don't Practice What They Preach
The most interesting comment, however, came when I asked him about the Angels' tendency to watch their own players leave when they reach their free agent years rather than match or top offers from other teams. It's a parade that Lackey watched for years — then joined last winter. "It is different," Lackey said. "The way they preach the team game and the way you're supposed to give it up for the team — that's a little suspect. "You're supposed to give it up for the team. Then when it comes time, they might not give it up for you. … I totally knew what the situation was (when he reached free agency)."

CHICAGO -- An online travel agency shows some users more expensive options than others, depending on what computer they own.
Staff at Orbitz.com figured out that Mac users generally spend more on hotel rooms, as much as 30 percent more than Windows users.
That's according to the Wall Street Journal, which reports Mac users are also 40 percent more likely to book a four- or five- star hotel than PC users.
Orbitz executives tell the newspaper they are not showing the same room to different users at different rates.

Tuesday marked the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy's landfall, a massive storm that caused billions of dollars in damages across 12 states.Thousands of people evacuated as the storm hit, while 8.5 million people lost power, some for weeks.The Mid-South's Tennessee Task Force 1, a FEMA search and rescue team, was dispatched to help in the search, rescue and recovery. Team members are experts on hurricane recovery efforts, but they're used to the Gulf Coast.In this case in October 2012, FOX13 News and the task force were in the most densely populated cities in the country in very cold conditions.The scope of the damage was massive and we saw only a small part of it.
It's been one year since Superstorm Sandy made landfall in southern New Jersey. The rains, winds, and storm surges caused damage across a dozen states. As the northeast was getting battered that night, Tennessee Task Force 1 got the call to help out.Superstorm Sandy was the team's 26th deployment to a disaster zone."They're all different," said Kenneth Reeves of Tennessee Task Force 1. "It was really large, it was really frustrating in some ways. But just another mission most of the way."FOX13 News met up with Reeves is to talk about the deployment a year later. He recalled it was a long trip to the damage. The team was on the road for 25 hours straight for the first leg, from Memphis to Fairfax, Va., by way of Atlanta.FEMA directed the team to take the long way to the Washington, D.C., area to avoid the storm moving in. By the time the team reached its final destination, the convoy traveled nearly 1,300 miles over three days.They were sent to Long Beach, N.Y."The normal support systems the people counted on were taken away," Reeves said.The storm surge ravaged the barrier island Long Beach sits on. Homes were destroyed, high rise apartments were empty after the evacuations. It took days for FEMA to assign the team a mission, but when they finally got to the Long Beach area they were going door to door checking on people."It was outreach to go to the people, especially the shut-ins, the people that couldn't move the elderly the infirm who couldn't move around on their own," Reeves said. "It was really gratifying to give them what they really needed at that point in time."One team discovered an elderly woman with dementia who was alone in her home. The team doctor checked her out and they were able to get in touch with a family member. Tennessee Task Force 1 is an urban search and rescue team, but by the time the unit got to the disaster there wasn't much for them to do. They checked in on people, told them where they could get help. They even gave out their own food at times.A FEMA team like this one can't go into a community unless the local government invites them. That didn't happen until three days after landfall."When people need things the political operators need to make sure that they concerns of their government are taken care of," Reeves said. "I understand that. But it feels like they're in the way."Reeves added people in the Mid-South can learn from Sandy. He said you need to be prepared for disaster."Family preparedness is the only way a community bounces back," he said. "It's the only way we're resilient to things like this. You have to put away the things and make the plans that you need to take care of your family."

Solenoids are binary: assuming they can
draw sufficient power, they are either fully
compressed or fully extended. A transistor
connected to a digital pin on the Arduino
drives each solenoid by supplying 12V from
the power supply when its pin is set HIGH. The
front solenoid makes the head nod up and
down, and the 2 rear solenoids make it lean
back to the left or right.
With its 3 solenoids, Spazzi can move to
just 8 different positions. But this limited repertoire produces surprisingly rich and varied
movement when the activation and frequency
of the solenoids are varied over time. This is
performed by Max/MSP or Pure Data (PD)
software on a computer, which sends on/off
commands to the Arduino over a USB/serial
port in response to music or other inputs.

The first of what's suppose to be three murder trials gets underway for a man accused of a botched robbery at Marie's Pizza in Rockford.
Lamar Coates is accused of felony murder in the death of his half brother. Prosecutors say in Illinois if someone dies in the commission of a felony you can be held responsible just as if you killed the person yourself.
"What you are going to learn is that it was the defendant, Desmond Bellmon, remember the name, Brandon Sago and Michael Sago who set in motion a chain of events that resulted in all of them being shot and Michael Sago dying," says Marilyn Hite-Ross, Winnebago County Deputy State's Attorney
October 1, 2011, prosecutors say Coates along with his friend Desmond Bellmon, his cousin Brandon Sago and half-brother Michael Sago all went to rob Marie's Pizza. The owner/operator Vincenco Tarara say he's thoughts races as the defendant shoved a gun in his face.
"He's going to kill me, I've got a family at home," says Tarara.
Tarara says when he didn't get the suspect the money the defendant pointed the gun at his friend, off-duty Winnebago County Sheriff's Deputy Frank Pobjecky. And that's when he went for the gun.
"With my right hand I grabbed the barrel. And then with my left hand I put it, placed it behind the trigger," says Tarara.
"Why did you put your left hand behind the trigger?" ask Hite-Ross.
"Cause he was attempting to pull the trigger,"says Tarara.
As the defendant and another suspect allegedly wrestled with the gun inside the store, Tarara says Pobjecky grabbed another the gun Tarara keeps strapped to his hip while he works at Marie's. Pobjecky took that gun and shot Coates.
"As Mr. Coates lay on the floor of the business, immobilized and bleeding from his injuries, Mr. Pobjecky then turns his firearm on the other three individuals," says Bradford Morrison, defense attorney.
Defense attorney Morrison says that's why Coates cannot be held responsible for 16-year-old Michael Sago's murder. He blames Pobjecky because Sago was shot in the back while he says he was trying to leave.
"And he did die outside of that business. Not through any actions of Lamar Coates but through the actions of Frank Pobjecky," says Morrison.
"Frank Pobjecky is able to upholster Vince Tarara's gun, pulls it over and starts shooting to try to protect their lives. We ask that you return a verdict of guilty on all counts," says Hite-Ross.
The prosecution is still presenting it's side of the case. Coates has pleaded not guilty.

The Fort Worth Fire Department is conducting an investigation to determine what caused an explosion inside a southwest Fort Worth home Sunday morning.
Paige Pauley says there was a strange smell inside her home Saturday evening. Sunday morning she was in the kitchen and turned on the hot water to wash her hands when the blast occurred inside her house. Pauley and her three pets made it outside with no injuries.
A fire department spokesman says the interior of the home suffered extensive damage from the blast. The exact cause of the explosion remains under investigation.

Just read me some Sam and found some David Lee quotes.
"Chicago is a great city," Lee offered. "I grew up in St. Louis and used to come to watch MJ play when I was little, so I have good memories."
"We're in a tough situation waiting 'til the summer with a lot of guys on one-year deals," Lee agreed. "A lot of it (his free agency opportunities) is going to come down to what happens with LeBron, Wade and Bosh. The trickledown effect will be from there. There's about 17 teams with cap space planning to get one of those three guys. There's only three cities they can play in, maybe two if one goes with another. I'm excited where I am and want to finish out the year strong and see where the chips fall. I think (being an) All-Star changed the perceptions of a lot of things. All I can do is keep getting better and see what happens. Rose is an unbelievable guy. He's played the last month as well as anyone in the league. His ability to get to the rack and finish and make the other guys around him better makes him one of the best point guards in the league.
I'm not saying the Bulls can't or won't try to sign one or maaaybe two of the top three 2010's. But assuming the Cavs pull of this trade for STAT that has to make them the favorite to win the title over the Lakers. The Lakers have been winning without Kobe but I don't think they're as good as last season and their bench has weakened. I think Trevor Ariza was huge for them in last summers playoffs and thats going to be hard to replicate. So why would Lebron leave a title team for the Knicks or Bulls? I just don't see Lebron leaving now. (If they make the trade) I also don't know if the Cavs are planing to resign STAT or what but still thats a scary team.
Bosh. My feeling is he would love to be with Miami. As fun as it was to watch Derrick Rose playing with all those big free agents my gut tells me he'd like to be with Wade in South Beach. Those are the rumors I have been reading for awhile now and I could see that happening.
So assuming Bosh, Wade and Lebron all take those routs that leaves the Bulls with Johnson and Lee as options and they look like Rose,Johnson,Deng, Lee,Noah. Thats the most realistic team I can think of right now. I'm not sure Johnson is even a lock but I get the feeling after watching the All Star game those might be the options for the Bulls.
I guess the size of the egos on the court last night kinda made me realize how much they all need their own light to shine. I would love Bosh and Lebron/Wade to come here but I don't know if the egos would let that happen. I mean could the Bulls organization handle people like that? I'm not so sure. I realize Jordan and Pippen had big egos but that was a different time.
I got the feeling that people like Derrick Rose but that he's just a shy unselfish basketball player who has little ego. Maybe thats the pg you wanna play with, I know I would.
I mean I loved that nice outlet pass to Lebron James for a dunk and then in Lebron fashion he strutted back to the bench like I'm the man! As Derrick kinda followed him waiting for a response. Maybe that is just show and they celebrated on the bench but I just wonder if this is a David Lee kinda summer?
Can the Bulls organization handle the big egos?
Or are they more suited to the quieter types like Lee or Johnson?(less drama queenish)

Okay… after many hours of arduous work and brewing here is a brew for todays game in honor of Saintsational. It is a hard job and involves many headaches from tasting etc…
2 oz of A limon flavored Vodka. I like Grey Goose but pick your own.
1 bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonaide
fresh Mint
Half of a rolled lemon cut into 4 wedges
1 oz of Bacardi limon (the rum is to counter the bucs)
1/4 oz simple syrup
Crushed Ice
First put a little simple syrup in the bottom of a VERY tall glass with about 8-10 mint leaves and a few bits of crushed ice and muddle the mint. Don't bruise it because it will become bitter… roll your muddler over it gently as if you were giving it a nice massage.
Set that glass aside for a moment.
Take your shaker and fill it half way with crushed ice pour in Limon Vodka and Rum along with the rest of the simple syrup. Squeeze in 3 of your 4 lemon wedges and then put the lid on your shaker and shake shake shake shake until the metal becomes frosted over.
Now take that very Tall Glass with the mint that has been melding with the simple syrup and fill it halfway with crushed ice. Strain in the ice cold brew from your shaker over the ice then fill it the rest of the way with the Mike's Hard Lemonaide. Garnish with a sprig of mint and your fourth Lemon Wedge.
Drink many of these without breaking any commandments before and during the game. This along with the GGM Spell against the Bucs should bring us to 10-0.
End of Brew.
p.s. Any enrichments to this brew are more than welcome.

So what happens after the Werner pick and Spencer trade? A couple of people asked and I am happy to oblige. The difficulty, of course, is creating a single mock draft that can fully incorporate my views on the rookie talent in 2013 and the Cowboys current roster. There are several players that can help the team in each round, but as each pick is made the needs of the team and the future of the draft are altered.
First, a quick overview of how I perceive the Cowboys team needs.
Despite public opinion, I do not think the Cowboys have any glaring needs for new starters. Not that they can't upgrade, but if the team was called to action tomorrow I think the Cowboys could field a full and competitive team. Livings, Costa, and Bernadeau would not be the most dominant interior-line unit, but having the starting center back and Bernie not recovering from surgery (the most "recent" news was from a January procedure) will be a great upgrade from 2012. There is surely a need for greater depth and talent at guard, but I would not place a MUST DRAFT A STARTER need at guard.
Safety is another cited concern, but with Church, Johnson, and Allen competing for two starting spots, the team only needs to bring in more talent to compete, not really what I would define as MUST DRAFT A STARTER need at safety.
Defensive-line is also an area where the team needs to add more talent, but with four veteran starters in Ware, Hatcher, Ratliff, and Spencer, and then guys like Crawford, Lissemore, and even Callaway in rotation at DT, I think the Cowboys need to first worry about getting more depth at defensive-end.
While the Werner pick and Spencer trade made the defensive-end outlook change, there would still be a need for more depth, albeit now bringing in a veteran with experience seems most important. With over ten million in cap space created, Marinelli asks Kiffin and Garrett to consider free-agent (and his former player) Israel Idonije. At a low cost, Idonije brings a youthful veteran experience to the team and knowledge of Marinelli's schemes, stunts, coaching and techniques. It would also allow the Cowboys to use Werner in both DE spots to challenge him, test his upside, and provide rest to Ware. In game day situations, I could easily see Ware and Werner splitting RDE duties (80/20), while Werner and Idonije split LDE duties (50/50). A fresh DL rotation at both the ends and the tackle spots would keep the Cowboys defensive-front dangerous throughout every minute of the game.
That leaves guard and safety as the next greatest concerns for the team's depth chart. After that, secondary issues of depth could make the team look for an offensive and/or defensive tackle, a young linebacker to help back-up Will and/or Mike spots, a running back to pair with Murray, and perhaps some more depth at WR or CB. That's a total of eight or nine additions with only six draft picks. Luckily, the trade for Spencer increases the draft picks to eight, adding picks 64 and 135.
Second Round
Pick 47:
There are a few names that appear in mock drafts that I have listed higher than #47 on my big board. If there, I would jump at the chance to draft them.
FS Eric Reid may be the best safety in this class, but many have him ranked as the 3rd on the list. While very unlikely, if Reid is available at 47, that is the pick.
The next option is DT Kawann Short. While highly unlikely he will be available, he would add a lot of talent at the defensive tackle rotation.
OG Larry Warford is the next name to consider. While still unlikely to be available, he does seem the most realistic of the three names mentioned, and would provide instant competition at one of the starting guard spots.
Worst case scenario, the names mentioned above are not available but the following players should be there to consider. OT Brennan Williams is still a little raw, but the large and athletic prospect at RT would provide a lot of upside and greatly improve the Cowboys depth at tackle. Margus Hunt will likely still be on the board due to his age and limited football experience. While I do not think the athletic Estonian will be effective as a 4-3 DE, I think he could become a very disruptive force as a 3-4DE or 4-3 DT. Finally, WR DeAndre Hopkins has already been to Valley Ranch, and could provide some solid WR help on the outside, where the Cowboys have the least amount of WR depth.
Third Round
Pick 64:
There seems to be an area in the middle of the 2nd to the middle of the 3rd, where a lot of talented offensive-linemen are slated to be picked. At the top of the round (with the Jags pick) Dallas should not have a problem finding a rookie linemen to compete for a starting spot.
The top choices here would be Travis Frederick, who could challenge to start at guard and also be a utility player that provides depth at center as well. Brian Schwenke is another college center that could provide competition at guard for the Cowboys. Kyle Long (of the Howie Long family) has some NFL pedigree, and while he may not be able to play tackle in the NFL he does provide a lot of athletic upside as a guard.
If Warford is the pick at 47, then Dallas could look to a "skill" position prospect and draft a running back like Johnathan Franklin, a corner like Jordan Poyer or Darius Slay, an athletic safety like Shamarko Thomas, or even the multi-talented hybrid linebacker Sio Moore.
Pick 80:
There are still some talented offensive-linemen to draft at the Cowboys original third-round pick. If some of the guards mentioned earlier don't fall, the Cowboys could look for help at tackle with Terron Armstead, a guy I am surprised to see going so late in most mock drafts. They could also look to guys like Justin Pugh and Brian Winters at guard...who would still provide competition as potential starters.
If the draft has already provided enough upgrades along the offensive-line, the Cowboys could look to add more talent along the trenches with DT Akeem Spence. They could also consider linebacker Sean Porter, cornerback Terrance Hawthorne, or take a flyer on running back Marcus Lattimore.
Fourth Round
Pick 114:
With such a deep draft, some of the names mentioned above could easily slide down into the fourth round. Other players to consider at this point include the athletic DE (with question marks) Devin Taylor. Linebacker Zaviar Gooden provides a lot of upside here in the fourth round, as does FS DJ Swearinger. Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor would also be an intriguing prospect here.
Fifth Round
Picks 135 & 151:
By this point the draft is basically a crap shoot, especially for us 'outsiders' who don't get as much information, game tape, interviews, or access as the real scouts and coaches. Guys that have peaked my interest include another visitor to Valley Ranch, DT Bennie Logan, as well as another of the many talented safeties in this draft TJ McDonald. Running back Knile Davis seems to have considerable upside for a 5th round pick as well, though has the dreaded injury-prone questions surrounding him. WR Kenny Stills provides the size, speed, and ability needed for NFL receivers, and I am surprised to see him ranked so low on many big boards and mock drafts.
Other guys to consider in the fifth include Stanford LB/DE Chase Thomas. He would be an interesting prospect because he could either provide some help as a pass-rushing DE, or use his athleticism as a Will or SAM linebacker. Another guy with upside includes offensive-lineman David Quessenberry, who has experience as both a tackle and interior lineman. While he will need some time to reach NFL strength, I think he has tons of upside for someone so late in the draft. Montori Hughes is a big defensive tackle that is somewhat intriguing as well.
Sixth Round
Pick 185:
With Dallas' final pick in the draft, I would look to add as much upside talent at a position of "need" that was missed earlier in the draft. It would also be great if that prospect could provide ST support as well. As such, my current list is of my two pet cats, guys that might not get drafted, but would be in serious consideration as undrafted free agents. As such, why not lock up their services with the final pick in the draft.
Nevada running back Stefphon Jefferson ranked second nationally in both rushing yards and points per game. He is not a speed demon, he is not a bruiser, but he is a jack-of-all trades. He reminds me of Emmitt Smith. Not saying he will become as great, but like Emmitt, people think he isn't big enough, isn't fast enough, but he somehow finds a way to be very productive and can also catch the ball and is a willing blocker.
Earl Wolff is a safety out of NC State. I don't understand why no one is talking about him. Perhaps if the safety class wasn't so deep he would get more recognition. His athleticism jumps off the page. He has 4.4 speed and shows great body control with his 4.07 short shuttle. He also had a 39" vertical and over 11' broad jump! In his three years as a starter, Wolff led the hunt averaging about 100 tackles a year and 4 for a loss. While he only managed 6 interceptions in those three years playing as a SS, he also added 18 pass deflections and 7 forced fumbles to his resume. He has great read and react skills, takes great angles of pursuit, loves to hit, and has the range of a free safety. I think he provides the greatest upside to draft position ratio in this deep safety class.
I would be happy with almost any of the proper combinations of the prospects listed above as a result for the Cowboys draft. If pressed for my personal mock draft, the answer (as shown above) is a little more complicated. First, the Cowboys could use the extra picks from the Jags to move back up into the second, or arrange for an extra third round pick. It would also depend on who is available from the less likely, best options in the second round.
While I want a heavily BPA skewed draft, I also want to make sure at least one offensive and defensive lineman are added to the roster in the top three rounds. While many are hoping for an early safety addition, I think the depth of talent means a mid to late round safety provides better value for the Cowboys.
So without further adieu, Keg's continued mock draft...
18 - Bjoern Werner DE
47 - Larry Warford OG
64 - Sio Moore LB
80 - Terron Armstead OT
114 - Akeem Spence DT
135 - Kenny Stills WR
151 - Knile Davis RB
185 - Earl Wolff SS/FS

You know how when you're obsessed with something you keep seeing it everywhere?
Well I keep seeing great up dos and twist & pin hair styles all over the web.
It's much sleeker. I would style this while your hair is still wet and then use some hairspray to catch any fuzzies as your hair dries.

Imagility Inc., a holding company that invests in illumination, imaging, and related technology, announced it has acquired the assets of Ribbonlift, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced lift systems known for their portability, reliability, and ease of use.
Ribbonlift's patented lift equipment is used to position cameras, lights, projectors, communication devices, and more for live events, industrial and other applications. Based in Owatonna, MN, its clients include Walt Disney Imagineering, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Defense.
Founded in 1998, all employees of Ribbonlift are expected to remain with the new company in Owatonna -- a wholly owned subsidiary of Imagility -- while certain corporate functions such as finance and strategic business development will be managed from Imagility's Los Angeles headquarters.
Dave Paine, Ribbonlift's founder, will serve as the company's president. "Imagility will provide the boost that Ribbonlift needs to reach a new level of success including growth capital and strategic business development of new markets where our technology can generate added value," Paine says. "I am confident we can build Ribbonlift into the country's premiere application- specific lift technology company."
Eric Golden, Imagility's President and CEO, comments, "Ribbonlift has designed the most innovative lift technology available today. With reinforced product and market development, I believe Ribbonlift will rapidly gain share of the entertainment markets already serviced by our other operating companies such as motion picture and television production, live events and entertainment venues, as well as diverse industrial applications. We are excited by the business's growth potential and its fit with Lightning Strikes, and we welcome the Ribbonlift team to the Imagility family."

With ZERO off-season acquisitions, is this line-up good enough to compete for a play-off spot next year?
LF Marte
RF Snider / Tabata
CF Cutch
1b Jones / GabySanchez
2b Walker
3b Alvarez
c McKenry / Tony Sanchez
SS Barmes / Mercer
I say with the right sports psychologist, YES.
A legit MVP candidate supported by 3 Top-5 in the NL OPS guys in Walker, Jones and Alvarez. A full year of Marte. A full year without Barajas. And a couple platoons that should help maximize strengths while hiding weaknesses.
Of course I'd love to add a bat, but would much rather see a legit top half of the rotation starter added to help bridge the waters until The Arrival (of Cole, Taillon, et al).
Personally I'd also love to find a true pinch-hitting specialist (ala John VanderWal back in the day), though would be comfortable giving that last bench spot to Brock Holt, too.
Also wouldn't be surprised if Bucs dangle a high-end package of say Heredia or Holmes plus Hanson or Polanco for a proven corner outfielder with 30-homer potential.

Curious to know how would you guys describe a Franchise QB.
There are the gunslingers (Brett Favre) the game mangers (Eli Manning) and just pure assassins (Peyton Manning). Which or whatdo you guys consider a Franchise QB?
TO ME: A franchise qb has nothing to do with physical tangibles. MOST great faranchise qb's never had the physical tangibles and had to work harder to get recognized. For example Brees was always considered to small to play qb but he's one of the elite qb's today. Most great qb's take the hard route to success(not so much in these days though) their not so much as gifted as others so they work harder. Work harder on reads, audibles, arm strength, accuracy, and any other aspect of the game to help them become dominate. To my opinion, a franchise qb has everything to do with desire, will, passion, energy, and brilliance. A franchise qb takes the hand they was dealt with no excuses and they point the finger. A franchise qb understands that he is the most important piece to the puzzle. Franchise qb's overcome odds, trials, and tribulations. A franchise qb is extremely competitive. A franchise qb can carry the offense when needed to. A franchise qb is humble but not satisfied with a drive unless it ends with 6 points. A franchise qb's can find their weaknesses.A franchise qb is a leader and provide passionand emotion that his teammates feed off of. A franchise qb makes everyone around him better.
I feel like my franchise qb just might not be human, maybe i went to far. What do you guys think a franchise qb consists of?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WATE) - Nearly 100,000 children's toys are being recalled because of a serious ingestion hazard.
Dunecraft is pulling its Water Balz, Growing Skulls, "Despicable Me" H20 Orbs and Fabulous Flowers toys from store shelves. The marble-sized toys absorb water and grow up to 400 times their original size. If a child swallows the toy, it expands inside the body and causes a blockage in the small intestine. The only way to remove the toy is through surgery.
Consumers should immediately take this recalled toy away from children and contact Dunecraft at 1-800-306-4168 for a free replacement toy. More information on the recall is available on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website.

In the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, the Vancouver Canucks were criticized for a perceived lack of physical play, despite a roster that included Chris Higgins, Maxim Lapierre, Ryan Kesler and Raffi Torres.
Through the 2011-12 regular season, the Canucks made the decision to push the envelope with their physical play, and the league's fifth most-penalized regular season team (including 41 major penalties) added even more "grit" in Zack Kassian and Samuel Pahlsson at the deadline, increasing its brawn while maintaining its suite of offensive weapons.
Many thought this shift in attitude would make Vancouver the odds-on favorite to come out of the Western Conference come playoff time, but if Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings was any indication, the Canucks may be playing with fire.
More: Full coverage of Game 1 between Vancouver and Los Angeles | NHL Playoff Predictions
Though L.A.'s 5-on 3 power-play goal in the first period can be put at the feet of Higgins' delay of game call, it was Kesler's unsportsmanlike conduct that had the Canucks on the penalty kill in the first place.
The Kings also took their first lead of the night thanks to the five-minute major to Byron Bitz following his vicious hit to Kyle Clifford, but the Canucks' parade to the penalty box earlier in the second period (including charging calls against Kassian and Lapierre) helped to prime the Los Angeles power play and put additional pressure on Roberto Luong, despite the goaltender's frequent heroics.
Worse, when the Canucks seemed to back off the physical play, the Kings would take advantage, breaking through the neutral zone and setting up the eventual game-winning goal from Dustin Penner, who stood virtually unchallenged in front of the Vancouver net.
Earlier in the season, the Canucks could get away with a high level of penalties thanks to their impressive penalty kill and the fact that they could score almost at will on most opponents, but the lack of Daniel Sedin is beginning to show, particularly after they went 0-for-5 on power-play opportunities. That same focus on physicality (and the consequences of being down a man so frequently) also allowed the Kings to open a shooting gallery in the Canucks' zone, piling up 39 shots on goal while the Canucks needed a 12 shot third period just to make it to 26.
Should Bitz receive supplemental discipline for his hit on Clifford, the physical approach taken by the Kings could have even deeper consequences, as it would force head coach Alain Vigneault to rework his bottom six to make up for the winger's loss.
To its credit, the Vancouver penalty kill still shut down six of L.A.'s eight opportunities and only allowed one goal on the Bitz major. The fact remains that the Canucks spent almost an entire period shorthanded. That state of affairs could spell their undoing if they cannot find a balance between "tough" play and just plain reckless.

BlueAnt Embrace Stereo Headphones
Company: BlueAnt
Price: $199.99 MSRP
There are headphones and then there are just headphones. BlueAnt has set out to show how headphones should be done, and as far as I'm concerned, they have really succeeded with the Embrace Stereo headphones. Designed specifically for the iPod, iPhone and iPad, the Embrace Stereo headphones also do a fantastic job when plugged into your Mac or PC.
BlueAnt S4 SpeakerPhone
Company: BlueAnt
Price: $99.99 MSRP
Just in case you live somewhere in the US where the law concerning the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle hasn't been changed yet, you can expect that the days of holding your cell phone while you're driving are probably going to be coming to an end soon. Between the push of concerned groups and the studies documenting the incidences of serious injuries and death because the driver was busy on the phone and not really paying attention to what they were doing, mainly driving a car, states and localities are requiring the use of hands-free devices for use when driving a car.
The question that one has to ask themselves is what type of hands-free device am I going to use. An earpiece, something along the lines of Apple's earbuds, or something a bit more capable than that? BlueAnt may just have the answer to the question.
BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset
Company: BlueAnt
While I've long been a cellphone user, I've never taken to using a Bluetooth headset. Each time I see a person with one stuck in an ear, my first reaction is that they have some horrible growth on the side of their head, and why don't they get it surgically removed. However, the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs recently received an evaluation unit of BlueAnt's V1 Voice Control headset. I swallowed my fashion concerns, and gave the V1 a try during a four-day business trip.
BlueAnt touts the V1 as the world's first voice controlled Bluetooth headset. While I take any such "world's first" claims with more than a pinch of salt, BlueAnt has created a fairly good Bluetooth headset.

Alhambra Granada, Palacio Carlos V ::...

Alhambra Granada, Palacio Carlos V :: www.CantabrU.com
El origen del Palacio de Carlos V se debió a la necesidad de un lugar que reuniese todas las comodidades de la época para el emperador y su familia, ya que el Alcázar, que era su residencia de verano, no cubría sus necesidades.
El emperador ordenó la construcción del palacio junto a la Alhambra para poder disfrutar de sus maravillas. El arquitecto encargado de la obra fue Pedro Machuca, un enamorado del renacimiento de acreditada experiencia. La construcción del palacio comenzó en 1527 y finalizó en su totalidad en 1957. La construcción pasó por varias etapas, falta de fondos, sublevaciones que pararon las obras, etcétera. Los techos llegaron a hundirse por abandono.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

David Kahn made an impression with the Wolves Nation. Some of the Wolves Nation may have a good impression or a bad impression. Kahn has shown glimpses of greatness and mental retardation! I heard someone asked for a list of Kahn's worst transaction. I will do the worst and the best. Don't forget to give your opinion and vote for your favorites. Before you talk smack remember that yesterday was the last official day of the McFail Era. 2012 12th overall pick: Austin Rivers
My Top 5 Worst David Kahn Transactions
1. Utah acquired forward/center Al Jefferson from Minnesota for center Kosta Koufos, Memphis' protected 2011 first-round pick and an additional future protected first-round pick. This turned out to be Chase Budinger.
2. Minnesota signed Darko Milicic to a 4-yr Contract
3. Minnesota signed guard Luke Ridnour to a four-year contract.
4. Minnesota traded the draft rights to guard Ty Lawson to Denver for a 2010 conditional first-round pick. This turned out to be Martell Webster
5a. Minnesota named Kurt Rambis head coach.
5b. Minnesota drafted Johnny Flynn. Passed on Stephen Curry
My Top 5 Best David Kahn Transactions
1. Minnesota Timberwolves drafted Ricky Rubio
2. Minnesota Timberwolves signed Kevin Love to a contract extension.
3. Minnesota Timberwolves named Rick Adelman coach.
4. Minnesota traded guards Randy Foye and Mike Miller to Washington for the 2009 No. 5 draft pick, forwards Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila Oleksiy Pecherov. Although the 5th pick was Flynn, it was a good move in principal.
5a. Minnesota acquired forward Michael Beasley from Miami for a 2011 and 2014 second-round draft picks and cash considerations.
5b. Minnesota president of basketball operations David Kahn fined $50,000 for inappropriate comments about F Michael Beasley. The team was also fined $50,000 for Kahn's remarks.

Cometh the Hate Preacher MT @anjemchoudary wonder Y many hurricanes, tornados etc in America? wonder what link is w/ oppression of Muslims?—
Raphael Gluck ツ (@einfal) May 21, 2013
British hate preacher and Shariah-pimp Anjem Choudary frequently calls for jihad against non-Muslims. In March, the Islamist said he'd like Barack Obama and David Cameron to be killed.
And the hate keeps on comin'.
Following Monday's deadly tornado in Oklahoma, Choudary called the devastation "a lesson for Americans." (Editor's note: The account is not verified, but has been reported as authentic.)
Operation Oklahoma should be a lesson for Americans. That is the response from Allah to the supplications of Muslims being oppressed by them—
Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) May 21, 2013
But it didn't stop there. He continued to spew his vile brand of hate.
Tornados, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes are the soldiers of Allah (SWT) which he will unleash against whom he wishes! May Allah protect us—
Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) May 21, 2013
Maybe if Obama stopped murdering 1000's of Muslims by drones, Allah would spare the US from so much devastation. This is the divine formula!—
Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) May 21, 2013
I wonder why there are so many hurricanes, tornados, bush fires etc in America? I wonder what the link is with their oppression of Muslims!?—
Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) May 21, 2013

text: So, now that the Resolution land swap bill has passed away (for now), what is the story on the proposed new highway 60 plan that would swing the existing road line up out of Iron Canyon to instead cross Northern Devils Canyon at the power station, punch down through Apache Leap as an elevated roadway a la Linville Gorge and arrive at the valley floor far enough away to finally kill superior and eliminate all public/recreational access via existing roadways leading into the region? I'm curious, since I've heard virtually nothing about this from any climbers, but have had several discussions with AZDOT and SRP engineers and managers about the plan. I thought, based on those discussions, that they had planned to close the access road to the power station (Serro Rd) through part of 2014 to do major improvements i.e. bringing in some heavier transmission equipment for upgrading the plant. Is there still a problem with ticketing if you park in the big pullout between the old picnic area and Top of the World, just uphill and opposite the road to the far side of Lower Devil's? I remember that, back in '01, when I was finishing up some of the routes on the Stormwatch and Butterworths Wall, I often hiked out to find one of those orange stickers on my windshield. After a few dire warning from locals in the know, I finally stopped parking there and went back to hiking across the canyon, because I was afraid of coming back to find my ride had been towed to Globe or something just as heinous. Is it still like that? Any word beyond the AZDOT website "we're doing a survey"? Thanks for any info.

About Us
Our Pastors
Contact Us
We pray we all are taking a few moments during this hectic time of year to pause and count our many blessings. Even in the midst of the challenges of life... hasn't Father been faithful to us?
It has been quite some time since we've communicated with you and provided any updates as to what's going on at The River.
Thankfully, we have GREAT NEWS!
On December 31, we will close on the sale of the church facility and be relieved from the tremendous financial strain we've been under for the past few years. God provided a buyer that has been leasing the property while allowing us to still meet here on Sunday mornings and operate our offices at this location. Now Father has flung wide a brand new door and opened a gathering place for ongoing ministry...
It's a miracle!
2014 will be a most exciting year for The River Family.
We are launching a brand new weekly venture beginning Tuesday, January 7, at 6:30 PM.
Our new location is the venue at World Music Nashville
, which is on the southeast corner of Highway 70 and Old Hickory Boulevard in the Bellevue Kroger shopping center (7069 US 70 South, Nashville, TN 37221). Because of time restraints on the rental of this auditorium, we will begin services promptly at 6:30 PM and will conclude by 7:30 PM every Tuesday evening.
The Word of the Lord to this ministry from its inception has been that we would be a powerful influence to those who influence the music business. Through the years, we've had many artists and friends who have expressed interest in coming to The River but they travel on weekends. A Tuesday night format is more convenient to a lot of them. Tuesday nights also enable us to have weekly gatherings with The River Family while Rambo McGuire is still able to keep up with our own busy travel schedule on Sundays.
We will be having an hour-long, power packed, casual service with music and practical teachings to help us live lives that demonstrate the unconditional love of God and the finished work of the Cross. The message and music has always been a gathering of "whosoever will"; the meetings will continue with that heart.
Another tremendous aspect of this transition is that we will have a state-of-the-art facility to capture high quality video/audio recordings of our services.
Within the next few weeks, we are believing for cameras and other equipment so we can launch a YouTube channel and begin sharing these messages over the internet with the world.
This is exciting news for the many members of this church who are located across the Globe!
It is difficult to imagine that we won't be having services in our current location much longer, but we are reminded by Bishop Huskins' words that The River has never been a building… It's a message that we've faithfully poured into the city of Nashville for almost 13 years now and we're getting ready to extend our reach and share it with the world.
We would love to encourage those of you who are members and friends of The River to come celebrate this transition.
Our final service at our present location will be Sunday, December 29, at 10:30 AM.
For those of you who can't join us, we look forward to seeing you at our
new location starting on January 7.
As you can imagine, with every move and transition has come additional expenses. We continue to be amazed at the faithfulness of God and His people toward this ministry. We thank you for the way you have stood with us and supported us with your prayers, love and finances. We know that God will continue to bless you because of your gracious giving to Him in underwriting His ministry in the earth!
We love you and there ain't nothin' you can do about it!
Pastors Dony and Reba

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — Two of the Top 20 girls teams in Class A met on the soccer field and not much was determined other than they seem to be evenly matched.
The No. 3 Lawrenceburg Lady Tigers and No. 18 Oldenburg Academy played to a 2-2 tie.
The Lady Twisters took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Margaret Glaser with less than 15 minutes remaining in first half. Sarah Wilder was able to put the ball in front of the goal and it was misplayed by the Lady Tigers. Glaser was in the right spot to clean it up.
The Lady Tigers responded quickly in the second half and scored a pair of goals within the first 10 minutes.
Oldenburg kept working and rallied late to score with two minutes remaining. Freshman Elizabeth Schulte took a shot from 25 yards out and it bounced over the goalkeeper's head.
Two days earlier, the Lady Twisters were easy 8-1 winners over Franklin County.
The Lady Twisters finished the regular season with a mark of 9-4-3.

Saint Moritz is one of the most respectable resorts in the Swiss Alps.
Luxury, elegant and exclusive Saint Moritz is located at a height of 1856 meters over sea level. Actually, it is a small town populated by 5600 inhabitants and approximately 15000 tourist allocations.
«Exacting people recreation» - they say about Saint Moritz in travel guides. Saint Moritz has surprised me twice but not with its restaurants among alpine skiing tracks where visitors in ski boots are served with black caviar and truffles and live orchestra music sounds in the neighborhood as well as "weightless, salubrious and sparkling champagne air".
First, I was surprised by the story of my friends who had come back from Saint Moritz. As they say, statistically there are 360 sunny days a year in this blessed place. And this fact is very important for people who practice skiing. So, during their staying there, they "enjoyed" those 5 dull days. But the 6-th day was, as usually, sunny.
Second, I was surprised when I had arrived to Saint Moritz. I visit some small shop on the street to buy a sweater. I took from the shelf a model which I liked, looked at the label and was surprised very much. At the moment I remembered the anecdote: a visitor looks through a menu and asks a waiter: "are they prices or telephone numbers?"
Well, the sweater that I chose cost 6.000 Euro or approximately 8 thousand US dollars. It seemed that my face looked very surprised and an old and very polite woman, owner of the shop, said that there were other cheaper models on the other shelf. I came to that shelf and looked at the label: cheaper indeed- 4.000 Euro.
Later I decided that the question with clothes wasn't so urgent and instead I called to AirGrisha and charted a helicopter there. I was flying by helicopter for 3 hours at a price of 1 sweater. The results of that flight became 40 panoramas, 9 of them are represented on our site.

Thanks to the member who showed me the trade machine website the other day. Now I am addicted.
Raptors get a Laker first round pick and Utah second round pick along with the personnel swap.
I think it helps us hit the playoffs this season, as is the stated franchise goal. Likely in just good enough position to give the Thunder our pick this year.
It gives us cap room for next year.
It gives us freedom from Bargnani and Kleiza at the cost of Ed Davis. I can live with that.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A jury has been seated in the trial of a man accused of coming to Madison to kill abortion doctors.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that a jury of nine women and five men were picked Tuesday to hear Ralph Lang's trial.
The 65-year-old Lang is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
Lang was arrested in Madison in May of 2011 when his gun accidentally fired in his motel room. Prosecutors say Lang was in town to shoot doctors at the Planned Parenthood clinic.
Lang also faces a federal charge of attempting to injure people participating in a federally funded program. His attorneys argue that charge should be tossed because the federal funds Planned Parenthood receives can't be used for abortions.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Jury selection is set for Tuesday in the upcoming trial of a man accused of coming to Madison to kill abortion doctors.
65-year-old Ralph Lang is charged with attempted homicide. He was arrested in May of 2011 in Madison for allegedly planning to shoot abortion providers at Planned Parenthood.
Police say he was caught when he accidentally fired a gun in his hotel. Lang also faces federal charges.

Plaza Fiesta in Fort Mill is going away. It was designed to give small businesses the advantages of being in a mall. Kids loved it for its massive indoor playground.
It'll be no more in 2014. It will be replaced with a massive single store for those who love the outdoors. Cabela's will be building a 97,500 square foot store on the property.
Latin American business owners said they aren't surprised they're out. The Latin American Chamber of Commerce said the mall never took advantage of the programs and people it offers.
"This is a perfect example of how the community could have helped that site to really prosper because of the connectivity we provide,' said Astrid Chirinos, president of the Latin American Chamber of Commerce, "I'm sure that the new owners and the new development that's going to come there will do more of their homework."
Business owners at Plaza Fiesta said they were given notice that they would have to leave but they didn't know why.
Plaza Fiesta has had various owners and managers over the years. Individual business owners renting space said rumors spread all the time that the mall would be closing or bought out. Monday many realized this time it's a fact. Cabela's Incorporated will be opening a brand new store on the property. Which means the many Latin American businesses will clear out in the new year.
The days of many Latin American business owners working side by side at Plaza Fiesta are numbered.
"I do any kind of alterations, wedding dresses, any kind of alterations and tailoring too," said Marta Orellana, owner of Martha's Alterations.
Orellana said she's been running her business at Plaza Fiesta since 2008.
"Well they come all kind of people because it wasn't only for Latin. It's for everybody," said Orellana.
But many argued there was never enough traffic. Orellana disagreed. And isn't emotionally ready to leave.
"You make money and everything you know the person this is what, it hurts. For me it hurts," said Orellana said with tears in her eyes.
Not all the businesses in Plaza Fiesta are owned by Latin Americans. But everything down to the design makes you feel like you're in a Mexican market. Owners said they won't find another place like it. And they'll have to pay more.
"The rent is what's going to make you or choke you as anyone running a business knows," said Abel Ramirez, owner of X3M Inc, "There's nothing affordable outside."
Ramirez was in the process of screen printing a logo onto a t-shirt. He said 70% of his business was online and everything that came through the storefront was bonus.
"So if you think about it the two months or a month is not a lot to let them know that you're moving because you have to find a place, rent it which, it's going to be hard," said Ramirez.
Ramirez said many of his fellow business owners will have a hard time too.
"I would say 60% to 70% of the businesses that are here will not make it on the outside," said Ramirez.
He's looking at Pineville. Orellana said she'll be going to Charlotte. Her new address is 6407 South Blvd. Suite K.
"Three times what you're paying here," said Orellana, "But I'm going to give it a try."
The party in the plaza will end in January.The current manager of Plaza Fiesta, Liberty Solutions said it will be working with Cabela's through the transition. They declined further comment.
A spokesperson for Cabela's said it plans to start construction in Spring of 2014 and open the new store in Spring of 2015. Cabela's will have a mass hire event before the store opens. The company expects to employ 225 employees.

According to Lider en Deportes, Edwin Valero has been arrested yet again, this time for crashing his car and fleeing the scene, once again while intoxicated. Valero was out because he had received approval to have his alcohol rehab in Cuba, where he was supposed to fly today. Because of the latest incident, he will not be able to rehab in Cuba. Supposedly, the governor of the district where Valero resides will be meeting with Huge Chavez to discuss how Valero should rehabilitate without suffering a further relapse.
Fernando Montiel has gotten injured, and his fight with Eric Morel is being postponed for the second time. Jorge Arce will be stepping in his place on the Latin Fury 9 card, facing Fernando Lumacad. At some point, Bob Arum should just say "screw it" and call the card off. What was once a promising card has been decimated. Edwin Valero refused to sign the dotted line, Mike Alvarado pulled out against Paulie Malignaggi and now the most compelling fight that was left has been struck from the card. Instead, you get a Juan Manuel Lopez showcase fight, a showcase fight with a severely faded Jorge Arce, Vanes Matirosyan against light-hitting gatekeeper Andrey Tsurkan, and what promises to be a complete snoozer between Yuri Foreman and Cornelius Bundrage. Not only are Latinos not involved in half the card, but I fail to see the fury either. If Big Bob still plans on charging more than 30 bucks for this farce, he should be ashamed of himself.

Banker Frank Quattrone donates $15 million to Penn Law for legal research center
Posted May 29, 2013 2:01 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A well-known investment banker who successfully fought charges in a securities case has donated $15 million to the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Frank Quattrone, through the Frank and Denise Quattrone Foundation, is funding the new Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice at Penn Law. It will help pay for research into ways the legal system can be improved, Bloomberg reports.
Quattrone, who had staged a comeback by 2008, spent five years battling U.S. securities regulators before being exonerated on appeal in a case that had alleged he hindered an investigation into Credit Suisse practices concerning initial public offerings.
"Our system of justice may very well be the best in the world, but with each passing day the frequency and sometimes tragic consequences of its mistakes, as well as the risk of random unfair outcomes for all Americans, are becoming better understood," Quattrone said in a Penn Law press release.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hello Everyone!
I am 20 years old, my name is Madis and currently in my 2nd year in Business Administration (Tallinn University of Technology). I am from Estonia, Tallinn. I have been really into martial arts, especially judo and wushu. Later I got into driving go-karts and motocross. I started playing the guitar when I was 16 and started drawing at the age of 18.
I started drawing a bit more than a year ago, but I have been very lazy on that side. I took some live drawing classes and soon after that found a a drawing forum, which was dedicated to photo realism and using grid lines. That is a nice start I had there and I still visit that forum. Because of this the next few drawings I made were done with the help of grid lines.
In the middle of My 1st year in Business Administration I almost quit it to go to Estonian Academy of Arts. Obviously in the end I didn't do that. Though I took a 1,5 month course of live drawing there too. Also by then I started my little A3 sketchbook.
I was really into drawing for 3-4 months back then and boom, for some off reason I stopped. I have been lurking this forum for the past week, read some tutorials, facts for new people. I even downloaded about 20 PDF books. Loomis, Bridgman, Hogarth for anatomy studies and some more.
I have decided that I will also get seriously back into drawing and that's why I joined this forum and created this sketchbook. I have saved/photographed all my work since now. I will post some of them and later I will upload my sketchbook pages and the drawings done in the Arts Academy pre-course.
My goal here is to improve in absolutely every aspect of drawing (no painting interests currently), so because of that I am kindly asking all of You honored members of CA to give me advice and support on my dedicated path. I have gained a lot of inspiration seeing people really focus and achieve superb results - with hard work - I'm aware of that.
So, please give me some advice considering which anatomy book to start with, which composition book, which perspective books. What else should I start with?
I will now upload some of my drawings done so far.
The 2 still life's of bottles and the half-skeleton were done in the first live drawing class. The car, tiger and the worse girl portrait were done at home, from photo, no grid lines. The baby and the other girl portrait were done at home from photo with grid lines and the two colored pieces also at home from photo with grid lines.

This is a great place to improve! I really like the tiger and the portrait underneath it. The first 2 drawings seem to have some perspective issues (not my stong point either). There's a good tutorial here for that: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...84#post1485584 \
Keep posting. Find some artists that seem to know what they are doing and post in their sketchbooks and they will usually return the favor. The advice I've gotten on this forum has helped me a lot.
Thank You for stopping by and of course for the encouragement and the link. I also have a "perspective for beginners" book next to my bed in my native language (estonian). I think that tomorrow evening I will be able to post my other drawings and sketchbook pages.
Pretty good stuff. You seem to have a decent understanding of the basics. You should pay more attention to structure. Relate everything you draw to simple forms to avoid the ugly distortions that you get when you're just focusing on outlines. Keep it up!
fantasyartist: Thank You!
Okay, now these next drawings are the ones i made in the live course in Estonias Arts Academy. They are all A1 size in real life, so their pretty big. I am sorry that the photos are such poor quality
Please give me some tips and critique

Hello again!
Posting more of my drawings
The first one is a car WIP, it is/was done with the help of grid lines. Following that there are my sketchbook pages and the Perspective 101 course assignments I did thanks to Seedling the author and NicG for the link.
I am now asking you all what should I do? What should I practice? Which anatomy book to start with? I have Loomis, Bridgman, Hogarth. Should I start with something else? Looking for guidelines Thank You in advance!!!
The car is A2, other pages are A3.

Hello again!
I'm posting some updates. Here are two fast charcoal on brown paper sketches, one fast car sketch (imagination) and a still life with a medium, which name I don't know in English. It's like black ink, but can be mixed with water for lighter values.
I'm still looking for critique, comments and advice and what books should I go for (look upper posts).
Looking forward to Your response,

do as many drawings as you can. Quantity will be the secret.
You will see, on your fifth filled sketchbook page, your improvement

Hey! I'm a little slow checking in these days...
I like all the studies with boxes, chairs and stuff. The car has a really nice flow to the lines and the girls eyes in the last post turned out really good. Personally, I started with Vilppu. I only got partway through Loomis and need to revisit it but I use his method for facial construction and Vilppu for the body. I'm not sure which book you should start with as I have no experience with the others. Probably whichever one you like best is fine. There are many different paths to the same end result and ultimately you'll choose the one you like best so pick one and experiment or whatever. Just my opinion and I'm hardly an expert so take it with a grain of salt
First of all, sorry for not posting for such a long time. I couldn't get my hands on a camera/scanner and thought many posts without new sketches are quite worthless
Guan - Thank You for stopping by. Yes, you are right, I need to push up the contrast.
Plissken - Hello and thank You for greeting me. I will push to sketch as often and as much as possible.
NicG - Hello again! Thank You for stopping by. About the anatomy books I agree. I'm just checking and messing around with different authors and trying to find the one that suits me the best.
So here are some random sketches (the perspective one is freehanded, no rulers or straight objects), some sketches from Loomis "Fun with A Pencil", some from animation books. Also the lips are from a German anatomy book, author Rubins.
My SB: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...10#post2880210 - I'm a beginner, so please have a look
Good stuff, you're studying the basics and working hard from the looks of things. You're well on your way!
Nice updates, great to see you tackling Loomis', his books are amazing. Try to focus a bit more on construction and thinking in simple basic shapes at this point, it'll make the drawing process much easier the more you practice these basics. Keep it up!

monstertree - Thank You for encouraging and checking my SB.
cgaddict - Hey! Thank You for checking my SB. Yeah, Loomis is great fun , also the constructing from basic simple shapes is what I'm aiming for
Hello all!
I know it's been very long, I have no excuse but being lazy in the small spare time I have aside from school/work/business
Here are a few updates. There are some Loomis "Fun with a Pencil" things, also some random imagination sketches, a birthday card concept, a cup life drawing.
Thanks to this forum I also found some other people from Estonia, who invited me to a life figure drawing class (Thank You!) and I have a few drawings of that too. So now I'm gonna go draw these 10 minute life figures once a week besides everything else.
Thanks for being patient and I'm looking forward to responses/critique/help
