Please pardon my intrusion. I'm Jacson and I write for Field Gulls, the Seattle Seahawks' SBN site. Mile High Report has agreed to swap "what to watch for" articles before Saturday's game, so I'm here to offer a little overview on some things to keep your eyes open for from Seattle's side.
I realize that many of you may not be terribly interested in what to look for from the Seahawks, but take a moment to think about how similar our two franchises are;
*You guys had John Elway, we had Rick Mirer
*You guys won back-to-back Super Bowls, we're the reigning division champs
*Your coach is named Fox, ours is a silver fox.
*You guys had a 2,000 yard rusher, we had Ricky Watters once
*You guys drafted Von Miller, I drink Miller Genuine Draft
You see, we're not so different, you and I.
With that in mind, here are the key points from the Seahawks' perspective:
The third pre-season game is unique in that it's the one in which you typically get the best look at what a team will be like during the regular season. During the first two games, Seattle's starters played one and two quarters, respectively. Head Coach Pete Carroll has said that the projected starters will play well into the second half of this one, so it's our best opportunity to evaluate the players that are likely to have the biggest impact on our season.
I, for one, am partial to the last pre-season game because I am utterly fascinated by the battles for the final roster spots, but that is another thing entirely. As far as Saturday's game goes, however, you'll be privy to watching a combination of Vikings West (WR Sidney Rice, QB Tarvaris Jackson, and OC Darrell Bevell) attempting to merge with Raiders North (TE Zach Miller, OG Robert Gallery, OL Coach Tom Cable). The Seahawks have created a culture of roster turnover in the first two off-seasons under Carroll and GM John Schneider, as the team transistions from the Mike Holmgren / Tim Ruskell era of gritty veteran presence the Carroll / Schneider era of high-upside playmakers.
Offensively, the Seahawks are an interesting case study in system adaptation. Carroll brought a distinct offensive formula to Seattle and, instead of trying to force a bunch of old, square pegs into his round holes (gross), he has brought in a bunch of guys that fit his system. Jackson is a mobile quarterback with questionable accuracy, but he knows Bevell's offense and is being asked to be more of a game manager than a game-changer. It will be interesting to see how he handles the precision necessary for underneath routes, and how often he goes deep to his main man Rice.
In the first two games, Jackson has spent as much time running for survival as he has spent in the pocket, as Seattle's brand new offensive line has had their issues gelling together. With Russell Okung nursing his ankle, Tyler Polumbus has had to fill in as a bookend. Seattle used it's first two draft picks this year on the right side of their line, picking OT James Carpenter and OG John Moffitt. Both have showed talent, but have also showed how big the difference between college and the pros is. I'm curious to see how they handle V. Miller and Elvis Dumervil.
Seattle has also loaded up their backfield, with ESPY nominee Leon Washington and the diminutive, I-Dare-You-To-Tackle-Me Justin Forsett backing up certified lunatic and author of one of the greatest post-season plays in history, Marshawn Lynch. With Lynch resting on Saturday, the competition for secondary carries will be fierce, as Washington appears to be back to the form that had him on track to be the Jets' future feature back and Forsett sports a mean 4.9 YPC for his career.
The wide-outs should be fun to watch, too, as towering split ends Rice and Mike Williams offer complimentary skill-sets (Rice as a deep-threat, Williams as a monstrous possession receiver). Their roles on this team are not in question, but it's the guys beneath them that offer intrigue. Golden Tate flashes Percy Harvin potential, but has thus far struggled transitioning from best-athlete-on-the-field in college to precise-route-runner and needs a solid performance to solidify himself as the #3 guy. Doug Baldwin and Ben Obomanu are poised to rip that title from him if he continues to falter. Bevell's offense seemingly favors a guy like Tate, who in a Field Gulls interview admits to having a running back mind-set despite being a wide receiver. Furthermore, the Seahawks now feature a potent two-TE offense with Z. Miller and John Carlson that reflects Carroll's preference while at USC but has gone into hibernation in the NFL.
Defensively speaking, the Seahawks are extremely young, as they--
You guys still with me? Some of you? Good enough.
The defensive line has potential to be very disruptive, and is the most consistent aspect of the Seattle team from last year. Red Bryant and Brandon Mebane represent some of the best interior line value in the league and the Chris Clemons / Raheem Brock are capable of providing off-the-end pressure when the guards and center are tied up with Bryant and Mebane. I don't know what shape the Broncos' tackles are in, but they should be well-tested by the time the game is over.
The 'Hawks linebacking core is a bit of a grab bag. You've got unheralded ball-hawk David Hawthorne, on-the-precipice-of-being-a-bust Aaron Curry, returning felon Leroy Hill, over-performing rookie KJ Wright, and a battle for the final one or two spots between USC rooks Malcolm Smith, Michael Morgan, and Rams transplant David Vobora.
For my money, the most interesting aspect of the Seattle team is the secondary. With Kam Chancellor recovering from one of those not-serious pre-season injuries, generally untested (yet promising) Josh Pinkard will be lining up at strong safety next to future Pro-Bowler Earl Thomas. Those two will be backed up by some combination of roster hopefuls Atari Bigby, Jeron Johnson, and friend of Field Gulls, Mark LeGree. The cornerback position is intriguing as well, as youngsters Walter Thurmond III, Richard Sherman, and Byron Maxwell compete with incumbent (and fan-punching-bag) Kelly Jennings for the starting spot opposite Marcus Trufant.
As far as special teams go, bad-ass Jon Ryan is all but cemented as our punter and resident douchebag Jeff Reed seems to have fist-pumped the kicker position into submission.
I have no idea how much any of this matters to you guys, but I hope it is a helpful aid as you watch the NFL foreplay that is pre-season football. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments section and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for your time.
Cheers, and here's to everyone on both teams getting up after every play.

Annie and Tom are the kind of couple that are just so easy-going, it's easy to think that you could hang out with them for days on end. They will chat with you and tell you all about their favorite restaurants and bars, how they met, and then turn the conversation around and ask more about you. What are you all about? What do you love?
And it's then that you realize that not only are they calm and cool, but they're also givers. I imagine that everyone in their group of family and friends is lucky to have them, and that they'd help you out at the drop of a hat. They love each other, and they love life. It's easy to tell, and it's no wonder their wedding is on a beach!
I had the honor of photographing their engagement, but really, it was great to just hang out with them and walk around downtown Pittsburgh on a summery evening. Congratulations!
Love, love, love the summery late sun!
Cool and calm. I was loving this red berry tree for photos!
We photographed a lot of their session at Point State Park.
As soon as I spotted this grove of red flowers, I knew I had to photograph them there as well!
I'm always trying to find interesting and unique perspectives for weddings and engagements. I won't say exactly where this was shot – that's the secret sauce! But I love the unique composition!

Your ABA
Honoring All 5 TJAGs
Posted Sep 1, 2012 1:20 AM CDT
By James Podgers
In a special ceremony at the annual meeting opening assembly, outgoing ABA President Wm. T. (Bill) Robinson III presented citations to the judge advocate general of each U.S. military service.
Robinson, the member-in-charge of the Florence, Ky., office of Frost Brown Todd, said he was so pleased to have all five in attendance at the opening assembly. "And it's especially gratifying that all five TJAGS are members of the ABA," he added.
Receiving presidential citations for 2012 were Lt. Gen. Richard Harding of the Air Force; Lt. Gen. Dana Chipman of the Army; Rear Adm. Frederick Kenney of the Coast Guard; Maj. Gen. Vaughn Ary of the Marine Corps; and Vice Adm. Nanette DeRenzi, who became the judge advocate general of the Navy on July 20.
Looking on was Jack L. Rives, who was TJAG of the Air Force before becoming the association's executive director in 2010.
The citations reflect the closer working relationship that has been developing between the ABA and the military's legal community on a number of fronts in recent years. "The American military defends and protects our constitutional democracy," said Robinson after the ceremony. "The ABA can never adequately express our respect and appreciation for our military, but we will continue to try to show that appreciation."
The presentation of certificates followed Robinson's remarks, which called on members of the bar to advocate for court funding. Praising the Task Force on the Preservation of the Justice System for its work raising awareness of the issues, he noted that the effort is far from complete. It's up to the bar to "explain to the American people what our courts do and why they matter."

Dreams in Blue, LIMITED EDITION CANVAS
NOTES: The theme artist Morgan Weistling began in Dreams in Gold, matures in Dreams in Blue.I loved painting this girl from above because it allowed me to see things from a perspective of unhindered patterns and flowing shapes. As this painting started to come together I realized that my model was floating in a world of her own. This illusion represents a sense of freedom that figure painters rarely get to enjoy—the freedom from gravity, says Weistling. Imagination and emotion are enhanced by his masterful use of oils.Having her bathed in shades of blues and cool colors added an almost underwater quality to the work.This sense of fluidity and motion contrasts with the near static state of sleep, creating a still life work. More importantly, it hints at the far more expansive realm of dreams she resides in.Dreams In Blue Limited Edition Canvas , by Morgan Westling Is a Limited Edition production by the Artist. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which affirms that this Art Work is an authentic Limited Edition production from Morgan Westling.

You can find epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) in the laundry and pharmacy sections of most stores. Epsom salt crystals are safe to handle, easy to grow, and form quickly. You can grow clear crystals or add food coloring if you prefer. Here's what you need to know to make your own crystals.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: A Few Days
Here's How:
- Boil the water in a microwave or on the stove.
- Remove the water from heat and add the epsom salts. Stir the mixture until the salt is fully dissolved. If desired, add food coloring.
- Pour the mixture over a piece of sponge (optional) or into a shallow container. You need just enough liquid to cover the bottom of the container.
- Place the container in a warm or sunny location. Crystals will form as the water evaporates.
- The sponge provides extra surface area to allow the crystals to form more quickly and helps make them a bit easier to view and handle.
- Compare the appearance of the epsom salts before stirring them into the water with the appearance of the crystals that are produced.
What You Need:
- 1/4 cup epsom salts (magnesium sufate)
- 1/2 cup water
- shallow bowl or dish
- sponge (optional)
- food coloring (optional)

The edgy Penryn pop art studio space that's home to .. a firm of accountants
Posted: February 19, 2014|
Its team members takes it turns to cook each other lunch every day, while its funky open-plan office with pop art on the walls looks more like a creative hub than a base for number-crunching and sending your VAT returns.
Welcome to The Peloton, not a posh hotel, but a Penryn-based chartered accountants and marketing business which prides itself in putting a bit of pep into an industry commonly perceived as being, well, just a tad dull.
"Everyone love accounting, Right? Wrong! Well, anyway, we LOVE it!" it chirps on its website homepage.
The company – where every day appears to be a dress down Friday – was founded by accountant Mike Hutchinson early last year to offer a full range of services to business including accountancy, tax, business consultancy, marketing and wealth management.
The business takes its name from the world of cycling where the Peloton is a body of riders which supports the key racer and enables them to shine.
Since its launch with nine staff a year ago, the business now employs 21 and has built a client base that stretches from Cornwall to California.
Mr Hutchinson said: "When I started The Peloton I wanted to create a business that could offer more than just accounts advice.
"We deal with a large number of companies across the UK that need a wide range of support, so using a holistic approach is much more beneficial to them and creates even more value."
Mike, or Hutch to his team, left school with just one CSE – in maths – but sibling rivalry prompted him to later go on to secure a degree and train in Neuro-linguistic programming.
"I've always done things differently," he said.
"I left school with just one CSE before my brother goaded me into going back to studying.
"I was determined to become more qualified than him."
Meanwhile, chairman Johnny Fine ran away from boarding school at 15 to become a hairdresser. He later returned to school to finish his exams and aged 19 he set up his own advertising agency in Leeds, which he sold 20 years later to McCann Erickson.
The expanding business recently welcomed Luc Wade as a director, who will oversee its marketing services.
His appointment follows a career that spans 15 years with the likes of Virgin, National Geographic, mobile entertainment pioneer Boltblue, as well a personal finance start-up.
He said: "The Peloton already has a reputation for being dynamic and thinking outside the box.
"Everyday we sit down and eat together, taking it in turns to cook daily.
"The process of eating together definitely works. There is something incredibly bonding about sharing food.
"Everyone joins in, directors, staff and clients alike, like a big family.
"That simple act sparks really creative ideas and conversations. It also ensures that staff take a break, they can clear their head, have a laugh and a joke and also get input from other parts of the business. There's no showboating or politics."

Professional Website Design Consulting
Who designed your website? Who manages the contents and graphics? Who promotes your business?
Your business is your life's work. When you have important tasks that require care, do you hand them over to an unskilled person? Of course not. You hire an accounting specialist to see to your finances, skilled tradesman for labor, and schooled marketers to publicize your goods and services. Given that more people than ever turn to the Internet to find businesses and products, does it make sense to have your co-worker's sixteen-year-old nephew in charge of your greatest online asset?
To succeed online, you need Web professionals backing your business and guiding you to the proper way to layout, design, and promote your site. Flashy animations and funky font structure may attract visitors, but do you know what it takes to keep people on your pages...and buying your products? The average length of stay on a website is one minute - what do you have on your site that can keep visitors interested longer?
Just as no two businesses are alike, CINIVA recognizes the truth that no single website consultation package will satisfy the needs and wants of every client. This is why CINIVA offers detailed web consulting services to help you determine why your site is not showing up in Google, and what needs to be done to bring visitors to your site and keep them coming back.
Your Domain/Brand Name - Your website address is your identity online, it is one of the most important elements of any website because it is what customers use to find you. Your URL should be easy to remember, easy to spell, and synonymous with your business. Let us advise you on the best URL strategy for your website.
Content and Structure - In terms of search, content drives high visibility, and content keeps visitors on the site. When you meet with CINIVA, we'll discuss your target audience and/or market and work an effective design template and content layout around meeting your website goals. CINIVA applies proven site concepts, text styles, and content that maximize the usability, visual appeal, and search engine friendliness of your webpages. With our team of professional graphics designers and copywriters, we can craft a wealth of material guaranteed to turn first-time visitors into regular customers.
Graphic Design - Forget about cookie-cutter, template database design! CINIVA employs the best graphic designers in Virginia for custom images and logos, lending your website a unique appearance. Existing logos can be integrated seamlessly into design to give your business a fresh look. User-friendly navigation menus and optional FLASH animation add to the enhancement of your online identity.
Functionality - Once it's determined what information your site should convey, then we get down to the business of how the information should be executed. CINIVA will consult with you with regards to your site's overall functionality, for you and your visitors. Do you need to collect personal data for opt-in advertising and communications? How about a podcast or video applications to enhance the selling quality of your products? Maybe a blog or RSS feed to keep customers updated frequently on changes, sales, and news of interest? Whatever the goals for your business, CINIVA can suggest the proper tools for best distributing the information throughout the Internet.
Online Payment Transactions - Where applicable, CINIVA will consult with you about the best methods of online payment for your site. From customized shopping carts for e-commerce to donations for religious, non-profit or charitable organizations, CINIVA applications can allow you to accept secure credit card transactions with ease. Sell clothes, toys, books, health products, and even labor services over the Internet with a customized store.
Database and Storage - If you are an existing business with a large customer base, why not transfer your information to the Internet for easier access? Build customer mailing lists and determine changes in inventory based upon sales history. With a web-based database engine , businesses can store customer data, inventories, order histories, and other content online. CINIVA can create the right application for your business website, and open up a whole new world of functional efficiency and marketing effectiveness.
Site Visibility and SEO - It's said if you're not found on Google, you're just not found. While we acknowledge the impact high search engine results can have on your business, there is more to optimizing a website than praying for a number one ranking. CINIVA can tailor an SEO strategy to suit your site's goals - visibility is important, but it's nothing without conversion. Site submission, pay per click advertising , content management and other promotion methods are offered to build your online presence and increase awareness.
Contact us today at 757.499.1990 to schedule a free initial evaluation of your website, and learn how to take advantage of CINIVA's website consultant program for high search rankings, strong content, and functional applications to drive traffic to your business.

Wellington woman murdered on beach in Libya – "high risk" country for visitors
A Wellington woman has been named as one of two people who have been murdered in an execution-style shooting on a beach in Libya.
The NZ Herald and the Sunday Star-Times have each have named the woman as Lynn Howie.
Her Linked In page says that she had been working as a Health Protection Officer for Regional Public Health since August. She had been previously been a Drinking Water Assistance Programme Facilitator for the Ministry of Health.
The Herald reports that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade says the woman's family have been notified and have asked for privacy. The Ministry is working with British consular staff and local authorities to investigate the killings, near the city of Sabratha which is 65km west of Tripoli.
The Sunday Star Times says it understands the woman was recently divorced – it was yesterday turned away from her former home in Silverstream. It quotes a friend as saying she was visiting Libya to visit her English boyfriend , who was also murdered.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs website advises:
There is extreme risk to your security in Libya, except in Tripoli and the north coast cities of Zuwara, Az Zawiya, Khums and Misrata, due to a significant threat from terrorism and kidnapping and we advise against all travel.
There is high risk to your security in Tripoli and the north coast cities of Zuwara, Az Zawiya, Khums and Misrata owing to the unsettled security situation and we advise against all tourist and other non-essential travel.
The National Transitional Council declared the liberation of Libya on 23 October 2011. Elections were held on 7 July 2012 and the Libyan National Transitional Council formally handed over power to the Prime Minister. The political situation in Libya remains fragile, however, and travellers should be alert to the possibility of politically motivated violence, particularly in the main cities of Tripoli and Benghazi.
Militia involved in the overthrow of the Muammar al-Gaddafi regime continue to operate in Libya, and there are reports of clashes between rival militia groups, and between militia groups and members of the public opposed to their presence in Libya.
Public demonstrations are a frequent occurrence in the central squares of Libya's cities. New Zealanders in Libya are advised to maintain a high level of security awareness at all times, keep a low profile and avoid all protests and large public gatherings as they have the potential to turn violent with little warning. If you are in an area affected by demonstrations or violence, you should find a safe location, remain indoors, heed any local advice and leave the area as soon as it is safe to do so.
Celebratory gunfire occurs in Libya and a number injuries and fatalities have resulted from gunfire rounds falling from the sky. It is advisable to remain indoors in the event of any celebratory gunfire.
There is a high threat from terrorism in Libya, especially outside Tripoli and in the east of the country. Terrorist groups have conducted attacks in the past and the unsettled security situation means future attacks are possible.
Western interests have been targeted by terrorists in Libya in the past. These attacks include an attack against the French Embassy in Tripoli in April 2013 and an attack against an Italian diplomatic vehicle in Tripoli in July 2013. In September 2012 the US Consulate in Benghazi was attacked, resulting in the death of the Ambassador and a number of other fatalities.
There is a threat of kidnapping in Libya. The terrorist group Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghred (AQIM), which uses northern Mali as an operating base, has a proven capability of travelling long distances to carry out attacks, including as far as Libya. Criminal groups have also carried out kidnappings for terrorist groups in exchange for financial reward.
As law and order has broken down in many parts of the country, crime levels have increased. The presence of a large number of weapons looted from government storage facilities during the revolution means there is a heightened risk of crime involving firearms, including armed robbery and car jackings. There is a limited police capacity to respond to street crime.
We advise against all road travel outside Tripoli city limits after dark. There is a high threat to personal safety from criminal and armed groups in Libya, particularly at night.
De-mining operations are ongoing in southern Libya, however significant numbers of unmarked landmines remain. It is advisable not to stray off well used roads and paths.
New Zealanders are advised to respect religious and social traditions in Libya to avoid offending local sensitivities. Modesty and discretion should be exercised in both dress and behaviour.
As there is no New Zealand diplomatic presence in Libya, the ability of the government to assist New Zealand citizens is severely limited.

Rarely is it good news — especially lately around the Dolphins — when there's clumps of media around the offensive line's side of the locker room. Count Sunday as a rarity.
Dealt yet another blow, the loss for this week, at least, of center Mike Pouncey, on top of the personnel adjustments required by the time-and-energy sapping Jonathan Martin- Richie Incognito affair, the line didn't collapse. It adapted to starting utility man Nate Garner at center and Sam Brenner, on the practice squad until Saturday, at left guard.
They allowed four sacks, too high but still their average for the season with a fully healthy line, and helped the Dolphins to 5.5 yards per rush. (Also, two of the sacks, a safety blitz and quarterback Ryan Tannehill running out of bounds on a sprint out, weren't their fault.)
"We've all practiced together before, back in the preseason, even last week," Garner said. "But there was a little more communication that happened on the field to make sure everyone was on the same page. Before the snap, in the huddle, just making sure everyone sees the point and where we're going."
This was the third game without Martin, who had been moved to right tackle before he left the team. This was full game No. 2 without Incognito, who injured his neck against Cincinnati and was suspended by the Dolphins in the bullying/harassment controversy. Backup lineman Will Yeatman went on injured reserve Saturday after a season-ending knee ligament injury, creating a roster spot filled when Brenner was promoted from the practice squad.
Meanwhile, Pouncey went in the hospital this week with what NFL.com reported as kidney and gall bladder issues. No Pouncey put Garner, who can play all the line positions, at center and elevated Brenner to the starting lineup.
Brenner, from the San Diego area, was so excited he couldn't remember whether he was told Saturday night or Sunday morning.
"These guys are older so I was trying to soak up as much knowledge from him as I can," Brenner said. "I was asking Bryant McKinnie questions, Nate Garner questions. They helped me play a big game [Sunday]."
Right guard John Jerry, the only lineman to start each game this year, said, "Brenner's a guy, I promise you, if y'all could see him work every single day, you'd be amazed."
In the fourth quarter, on first-and-10 from the Dolphins' 21 with 3:16 left, Jerry made one of those plays that wins games while never showing up on any sheet of statistics.
Chargers rookie outside linebacker Tourek Williams, out of FIU and nearby Norland High School, got pushed left of Tannehill but reversed himself and was chasing Tannehill down from behind as the quarterback started running right with eyes downfield. Tannehill leads the Dolphins in fumbles, a knowledge that probably made several Dolphins fans shiver as Williams closed.
Williams was within a few strides of reprising his strip of Denver's Peyton Manning … and along came Jerry with a full body bop that ended Williams' pursuit. Tannehill slid inbounds after a 4-yard gain.
"One thing was sticking in my head was Coach Philbin's always talking about, 'You've got to play through the whistle, you've got to play through the whistle,' " Jerry said. "Fortunately, I was able to see the guy and try to get a piece of him."

text: Definition: The vaginal flora are the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora are dominated by various lactobacillus species, which help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other substances that inhibit the growth of yeast and other unwanted organisms. A hallmark of bacterial vaginosis is disruption of this normal vaginal flora and a loss of lactobacilli, which can not only be unpleasant in and of itself, but also leave a woman more susceptible to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

Award Process - Lifecycle of a Grant
The grant life cycle starts with an idea for a research project you'd like to pursue. Armed with your idea, it's time to identify potential funding sources.
Next you begin to develop the proposal's concept including: identifying the human and capital resources necessary to carry out your project and giving notice of intent to submit your proposal to both ORSP and your department. With your thoughts gathered, you'll now need to put pen to paper and prepare your proposal nailing down details such as your research plan and budget, and complete sponsor-specific and University-required forms. That done, you'll submit your proposal to ORSP for review and administrative approval, and submission to the sponsor.
When the proposal is funded you receive award notification and Project Start-Up begins. In this step, project numbers are assigned, accounts are established and sub-agreements are created.
Activities that are part of Award Management that continue throughout the life of the grant include: Monthly budget reviewing, progress reporting, time and effort reporting and sponsor invoicing. At the completion of the grant, the Award Close-Out begins at which time project budgets are reconciled and closed and a final performance report is sent to the sponsor.
As you can see from the diagram below, the 'Pre-Award' steps include everything from identifying funding to submission to the sponsor, while 'Post-Award' encompasses all that comes after an award is made.

That Graydon Guy Is Good -- Spurs/Mavs Shot Chart
He took what I tried to say in my recap and made it coherent. I know what you are thinking, "Wayne, you didn't really talk much about shot selection." My response, "Yeah, I know but this was the overall point I was trying to get across. It's just so incoherent that my point was completely lost." All joking aside, this is a good analysis by Graydon and you should read it.

Another Random Job
The idea I had was to have it on the inside back page of The Face magazine or something. I sent a copy to Vic and Bob, a copy to the Producer/Director of the TV show, and a copy to the co-owner of the TV company that made the show, brand new TV star and comics fan Johnathan Ross.
Well, as is the way of these things, after a couple of months, I'd heard nothing and the TV show ended. Ah well, I thought, at least I had a go.
About two months after that, my phone rang one morning, and when I answered it, an unfamiliar voice said "Is that Nigel Parkinson? This is Bob Mortimer from the Vic Reeves Experience!" Which took me aback a little. But, feigning insouciance, I said "Oh yeah, hello". Bob went on to say he and Vic had been shown the page I'd drawn by Johnathan Ross and they all liked it so much they wanted me to work with them on their book, 'Vic Reeves Big Night In'. "Delighted" I said. And that's how I got to draw some fun stuff for Vic and Bob. Being on Channel 4 in 1990/91, nobody I knew had ever heard of them, but now it can be told.
And I'd like to thank Johnathan Ross for passing on my page, it led to a hilarious job and an eventful weekend in London.
But these are best saved for a future post!

"Good night, Troy!"
Garner was always a welcome presence on TV, his friendly private eye show, The Rockford Files in later years being a nice big hit.
I loved the Stingray strip in TV21, starting January 1965, drawn by Ron Embleton, and I even got to draw Troy myself in 1992 in several issues of Fleetway's 'Stingray' comic.
('Supermarionation'/Century 21 shows took inspiration from real people from time to time. Lady Penelope is very much Sylvia Anderson (especially the voice, of course!), Scott Tracy was based on Sean Connery, and Buddy Ebsen seemed a pretty close fit for Phones. Some people even see a likeness between the lead character in 'Secret Service' and Stanley Unwin.)

Tidings of the Season
It's the end of July, and so obviously it's time for Christmas! Well, according to publishers, distributors and wholesalers, anyway. The Beano and Dandy annuals are with us yet again, and each have a few pages drawn by me, and coloured by Nika in her usual great way.
There's Minnie the Minx and Dennis the Menace and Gnasher in the Beano, and The Banana Bunch, Cuddles and Dimples and Greedy Pigg in the Dandy. We find out how Dennis started menacing at an early age, and see how Cuddles and Dimples finally trash their home, as they always seemed bent on - or do they?!There may be other pages by me too, but they were drawn so long ago I've forgotten if so.
The same day the annuals were published, so were this year's unexpected Summer Specials! And they were unexpected by everyone, including me and the editorial people too! But, they're here, and isn't that great!

One Of Those Days
Ever had one of those days?
You know the sort I mean! The sort of day you end up thinking would have been better spent asleep.
Today was one of those days for me.
Woken early by news of a relatives death, Bad start.
10 am I find out that due to a misunderstanding I would have to redraw something I spent the weekend drawing.
3pm castor on my drawing chair broke. Upon opening my pack of replacement castors I bought some time ago, I find they don't fit.
5pm, my drawing lamp broke. Just snapped off in my hand. Third lamp to do so.
Maybe it's time to go back to bed anyway.

10 am I find out that due to a misunderstanding I would have to redraw something I spent the weekend drawing.
3pm castor on my drawing chair broke. Upon opening my pack of replacement castors I bought some time ago, I find they don't fit.
5pm, my drawing lamp broke. Just snapped off in my hand. Third lamp to do so.
Maybe it's time to go back to bed anyway.

Untold Secrets of the Comics Biz Part 1- Being a Cartoonist
Comics, eh? Reading this, you'll most likely be in one of two categories: "Comics? Love 'em!" or "Comics? Kidstuff, probably knocked off by second rate cartoonists in the morning before they go to work, maybe before they go to school".
Of course, it is possible to hold both views. A few years ago, I was at one of the scant few Comics Conventions I've ever attended 'as a Pro', sitting behind the DC Thomson stall with a Thomson's staffer, just having a chat. We'd break off to speak to anyone who stopped by and wanted to.
At one point, a youngish (at my age it's hard to judge ages, I say youngish because he looked younger than me!) chap stops by, and leans on the table.
"So, you do The Beano and Dandy, then?"
"Aye", says my colleague.
"Yeah," proceeds The Chap, "so, I'm going to LA soon to be a top comics professional with one of the top comic book companies out there, y'know, real comic books."
"Mmh?" we nodded brightly, wondering if there would be a point forthcoming any time soon.
"So, if you like, I can do some of your pages for you, y'know, I'll fit it in, make them look more professional- this sort of thing-" he idly waves a hand toward The Dandys and Beanos on the table, "is so easy to do."
"Oh aye" says my associate.
"Yeah," continues Mr Generous "And, y'know, it's not very good, I should be able to improve it a lot"
"Oh, well that's great", says the impressively impassive DCT employee, "Speak to the editor, Morris, over there- he'll be so glad you stopped by".
"Er, yeah" says the Young Hipster "Cheers, man" and he wanders, or rather swaggers confidently off.
Now, I never heard what happened to this fellow- other than he didn't help us out one bit (apologies if he's a great Marvel Penciling hero at present but somehow I doubt it) but it wasn't the last time I came across such an attitude.
I didn't say anything to our young passer-by, probably just as well- but I've thought about what he said once or twice since then.
There's a feeling out there that 'funny' comic strips are 'easy' to do, that they somehow fall unbidden from the pen in a torrent of barely containable mediocrity, that once you've drawn episode one, the others, barely indistinguishable from the first, are basically like signing your name, but that isn't the case. Some cartoonists have had a period of what one might call 'cartoonists block', akin to writer's block, where nothing comes out (or nothing printable). The most notable example was the late Ken Reid who, as most of the "Comics? Love 'em!" crowd will know, had a long fight against a sort of depression that was entirely work related. Leo Baxendale, who anyone that has read this blog for more than six minutes will know, is a force of nature as much as a cartoonist, even had a similar though less difficult time.
Other cartoonists have had the same sort of experience, where drawing became a chore, where the effort was so great it became something to be avoided. Some have been told it was depression, and it may have been, but I feel it's more pressure. Pressure and stress. Both of which are needed to pursue a career, but which if pushed too relentlessly, can lead to depression, and on the way there, they stop you enjoying what you do. And a cartoonist has to enjoy what they do, or else why would they do it? Now, a professional cartoonist could find themselves faced with a bit of a problem if they got to that point, because, whether they enjoy it or not, they HAVE to draw- it's their job- so 'not feeling like it today' isn't an option.
It doesn't end there- once a cartoonist has drawn a good piece of work, they have to do the same thing all over again the very next week.
Of course, that's the nature of any job; you have to do it week in week out.
If you're an artist ( I mean like a sculptor or a painter) or a poet or a songwriter or some other creative type, you do a project, you put everything you have into it- then, relax and enjoy the benefits of having accomplished something. For the successful cartoonist, instead of a rest, they have to go and do it again next week.
Or rather, they have to try to not only do it again but also a bit better. That's a continual pressure, and it generally helps to push the cartoonist to work out short cuts, better ways of doing things, faster ways of achieving the same results, but at the back of the mind, "You're only as good as your last piece of work" is a constant spur to do the absolute best you can, every time.
So. although comics look easy, they are hard work. It's a fantastic, wonderful, amazing, exhilarating, funny, absorbing, perfect job, but it is an actual, real job! Far too many young cartoonists and wannabe cartoonists, drawing alone in their room for an hour or two at night, think they've cracked it, they can draw cartoons. Nice try, but that's only the beginning. It's only the start of the beginning of the beginning. Can you draw a cartoon? Fine. Can you do another one tomorrow? And tomorrow? And every day, with luck. I don't think a single day has passed since I started in October 1980 that I haven't learned how to do something new, or better, or faster. After 30,000 pages, I still hope my next page will be better than any of the preceding ones.
Which reminds me, there's work to be done!

LONDON--Barclays PLC (BCS) Wednesday got an expected GBP743.7 million boost to its capital reserves after an exercise of warrants on its shares.
Barclays said Deutsche Bank AG (DB) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) exercised the warrants, which the two banks obtained in November from the original warrant holder, Qatar Holdings.
The Qatari sovereign-wealth fund received the warrants in October 2008 as part of an emergency capital raising by Barclays in the financial crisis. The warrants gave it the right to buy 379 million Barclays shares at 197.7775 pence apiece before Oct. 31, 2013.
At the time of the deal between Qatar, Deutsche Bank and Goldman, the Barclays share price was around 244 pence, and the two investment banks sold 303 million shares to hedge their exposure.
Barclays shares Wednesday closed at 326 pence, flat on the day, after having rallied nearly 9% Tuesday following the bank's announcement of a strategic overhaul. The shares have gained 35% since Qatar unloaded the warrants on Nov. 26.
Barclays said the fresh capital it gets from issuing new shares will add around 19 basis points to its Core Tier 1 ratio of 10.9% at Dec. 31. It paid the warrantholders GBP6.3 million as an incentive for exercising the warrants early.
Barclays Chief Executive Antony Jenkins on Tuesday said the bank will shrink its retail business in Europe and eliminate 1,800 jobs in its investment bank, as part of an effort to cut costs and improve shareholder returns.

Where does the NAB stand on the contentious media ownership rules debate now before the FCC? Eddie Fritts, the broadcaster's chief lobbyist, reviewed the NAB position in a speech last week at the Media Institute, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit research foundation specializing in communications policy and the First Amendment.
Fritts said the NAB seeks modest changes in the FCC rules, but is in favor of retaining the 35 percent TV ownership cap because it "has been good for localism and diversity" and "has helped preserve the network/affiliate relationship."
He noted that the NAB has offered a program that would permit duopoly TV combinations in small and medium markets. Under the plan, two stations with viewing shares of less than 10 percent could be co-owned, or one station with a viewing share of 10 or higher could partner with another station with a share of less than 10.
"The FCC has permitted duopolies in large markets, and that has resulted in increases in local news and public affairs programming," Fritz argued. "With small and medium market TV stations struggling to justify the financial strain of converting to digital, the 10/10 plan would provide a huge economic boost to markets like Boise, ID, and Bangor, ME, and Birmingham, AL."

Clarke aims for a quick turnaround + video

Ryan Clarke sees Oxford United's clash with Cheltenham Town tonight as an immediate opportunity to make amends for defeat at the weekend, writes David Pritchard.
The goalkeeper saved a penalty on Saturday, but it did not prevent the U's losing 2-1 to Burton Albion, despite a strong showing in the second half at the Kassam Stadium.
Another home game means there has been little time to stew on the result, which Clarke believes is very welcome.
He said: "It plays on your mind all weekend, but I'm just glad we've got a game quickly to try and turn things round.
"We've got a good chance to put things right, we've just got to take the second half performance from Saturday into the game."
United have lost three of their last four games, their worst run of the season, but Clarke is not too worried.
He said: "We would've liked to have taken more points from the last three or four games, but so be it.
"It's our first mini-blip of the season and if it's going to take 35 games for that to happen then we must have been doing something right.
"We've got the personnel not to dwell on it."
David Connolly is in line for a start after impressing as a substitute on Saturday.
The former Republic of Ireland international is looking forward to another vitally important clash.
He said: "Every game's big at this stage of the season.
"It'll be tough and the onus will be on us as the home team to go for it."
