Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
hi everyone! also havent participated for a while. ok, here it goes, my first sketch.
I added a bit more perspective now. and some more features.
@ Scorge: The sense of scale is nice, but I'm not so much seeing the resemblance to an evergreen pine...at least, not yet.
@ Gregor: Cool idea, cool render, looking forward to seeing more
My goal is to finish the "illustration" of this concept sometime today, and then proceed to doing a front-side-back turn around that would be useful enough for a production team to do the 3D model... well it's a bit bass-ackwards of me, but I'll see what I get done by the deadline.
Mine will be based off some of the creepier caterpillars in existence.
In the densest climes of the Canadian rockies, the wind warped pines snake up against sky, and there midst the branches the Pine Dragon attempts to conceal itself from potential prey.
Not sure if I'm too fond of it anymore at the moment. We'll see what happens I guess! Critique is welcome .
ok. done with the lines. I changed the format, because I think it makes the composition more interesting..
@ Kraemology: thank you! I hope it ist going to work that way.. I actually dont often use this technique..
@ Lhune: awesome shading! I am excited about how it is going to look in the end. I personally often dont know when to stop painting, so I will watch how you are going to make this.. cheers
Lhune: Damn, great painting skills man! I'd say the relationship between the main body and the tree detail is indistinct.

So I hit the wall of my creatives block... and here's the result. I will try to knock out a turn-around with the "final".
I'd appreciate any critique. I can't immediately see the problem areas and I'd like to.
I'd like push it further later.
Thanks for the feedback! Tried again with the foliage.
@ ProZacaryBrown: wow! now its getting really beefy!^^
@ Scorge: lol -- even the sledge leads the eye back into the painting and the trees look like arrows that show the upcoming eruption when the beast beats the ground. great compositon! I think your giant could look even more powerful if you slightly changed the angle of view.
@ Lhune: After seeing yours I also wanted to include some game animals, but I dont know if thatd be so .. cool then.. ^^ cheers.
Okay. here is an update. I dont know how much time I will have next week, so I have to finish it in the weekend.

Lhune: Better! Looks good.
Everyone is doing a great job!
I guess I'm done. Eyes can't take anymore.

I see no problems, I did say 'at least' two stories after all
Epic work as always scorge!

I know right? I miss that!
I´m going to try something completely different, some giant crab that collects piles of seaweed on its back, comes to land and wonders around pine tree forests dressed as a giant pine tree. Probably because he hunts deer and boars and what not. Or it just likes to be a tree..

thank you Lhune, I am also excited about your final piece!
lol my eyes cant take anything more either.. I think I am done with my piece. Next time I want to play a bit more with light and shadow. ok have a nice sunday everyone!
My concept is that it's a huge sort of lumbering, lazy, turtle-influenced giant, which instead of fighting uses its back crest ringed with green spiky fur to blend in with the giant conifers it lives among.
I got a little into it without stopping to post WIPs, so here's a few all at once SORRY :
First Post Ever
I'm gunna get in on this action, just a few days left. Hope I can come up with something nice before it's done.

final concept lots of rendering to do now ... Cool looking stuff everyone, looking forward to finals
Hey hey, entering a bit late :p And i have wayyy too many ideas bouncing around in my head. Trying to narrow it down to two; 1st - Insect like with long "pine" tail, 2nd - "upright" strong legs, maw on the underbelly, green poisonous needles along the lenght of the body and crazy eye stalks and tentacles.
Pardon the crappy camera phone capture of the sketches.
Obey the principles without being bound by them. -Bruce Lee
My Sketchbook
My Deviantart
My shot. So far so good, as far as I am concerned
Rendering will bring it closer to the brief. Skin and shell will have a texture similar to that of a pine tree, and all the spiky things will resemble pine needles. Background story is in development
Hey guys! Some great stuff in here! Remember to post your finished entries in the Finals thread when they are ready, because there is just 12 hours left in this topic!
Art is not about competing against others and being better than everyone else, but it is about competing against yourself and discovering your greatest potential!
Man, I wish I'd had more time. Couldn't do a background or any decent size references and in my hurry I even made the squirrel too big >>. Ah well. Hope you guys like it and good luck to all of you! There's some really good pieces in here :>.
hi there; initial sketch for the giant, will try to complete it further to see i f i can submit the final

EDWARDS, Ill. -- Battles of World War II came back to life Saturday at Sommer Park.
More than 400 re-enactors suited up in authentic World War II uniforms to play the part of American and German soldiers.
About 50 original and reproduced vehicles were used in the mock battle.
Organizers said the display is a special way to honor our veterans.
"Some of them cry just when they feel the uniform again or from riding in that jeep," said event coordinator, Scott Thompson. "We've had a couple in a tank and a half-track. We want to bring that back for them while they are still with us, and we want to teach the public what the cost of our freedom really is."
The event continues Sunday until 3 pm.
Veterans are encouraged to attend.

What residents thought would take weeks to build only took hours this afternoon thanks to the help of the Lubbock High Basketball program.
It's been almost a month since Lubbock City Council ruled that Tent City could remain where it was and continue providing a place for Lubbock's homeless to stay. There was one condition: Tent City had to have a privacy fence.
"Not seeing the rest of the world outside helps a little bit, it makes you feel like you're even more isolated, so the residents are looking forward to that," Tent City resident Cliff Van Loan said.
Along with the comfort of Tent City residents, Les Burrus of Link Ministries says the new fence is also part of their efforts to be good neighbors.
"We wanted to help them feel better about what we're doing here," Burrus said. "The owners around the properties, other properties, they wanted to have some type of privacy so they wouldn't constantly be seeing the tents."
After hearing the City Council's ruling, the Lubbock High basketball program jumped into action to lend several helping hands.
"It's my civic duty, I'm a Lubbock guy. I've been here all my life, and figured that was the perfect opportunity to get the boys involved," Coach Jesus Arenas said.
News that Tent City was in need drew more volunteers than just the basketball team.
"It kind of made me feel like a better person. I didn't think it'd make me feel this good, but it's nice to feel like I'm helping out" Jocilyn Jennings, a volunteer Saturday, said.
"It's just kind of exciting to have the community involved in this," Van Loan said.
The fence will protect Tent City from more than just the on-lookers. As the cold weather rolls in, it will break up the freezing South Plains wind.
The small community also got donations for around 50 army surplus tents.
"They won't notice the wind so much. They flap, they shake, they rattle and groan, but they don't go anywhere. I could do chin-ups on that frame and it just doesn't care, I think it'll take anything Texas has to offer," Van Loan said.
With the new privacy fence installed and heavy-duty tents on their way, Tent City is just about ready to brave another Lubbock winter.
"When people come together, it shows you what can get done" Burrus said.

Sony Europe (Change)
Register for news alerts
Easy-to-use Alpha A500 & A550 offer enhanced Live View shooting and superb image quality
· New 12.3/14.2 effective megapixel (A500/A550) CMOS sensor and new enhanced BIONZ processor for detail-packed, low-noise images with high sensitivity up to ISO 12800· High-speed continuous shooting up to 5fps (with optical viewfinder) and 7fps in Speed Priority mode (A550 only)· Enhanced Quick AF Live View captures fast-moving action, with Face Detection for beautiful portraits· 180º tilt-angle 3.0 type Xtra Fine LCD (A550) and intuitive new interface for clear, simple shooting· Manual Focus Check Live View mode for precise, convenient adjustment of focus and composition· Auto HDR mode for high dynamic range exposures· Class-leading shooting stamina (1,000 shots - A500)· HDMI™ output and BRAVIA™ Sync for control from TV remote
Two powerful, feature-packed DSLR cameras from Sony make it easier than ever to capture beautiful pictures, carefree family portraits, stunning holiday memories and action-packed scenes.The DSLR-A500 (12.3 megapixels) and DSLR-A550 (14.2 megapixels) are packed with advanced Sony technology that combine the spontaneity and freedom of Live View shooting with generous possibilities to realise your creative vision.At the heart of both cameras is a new Exmor™ CMOS sensor that ensures crisp low-noise images, packed with fine detail and vibrant colours. Sharing powerful on-chip noise reduction techniques with the full-frame DSLR-A900, this advanced sensor works with processing algorithms handled by the high-speed BIONZ™ engine to deliver premium images plus razor-sharp shooting responses. Dramatically reduced picture noise now allows super-sensitive shooting at up to ISO12800, allowing attractive results when shooting handheld in challenging situations like candlelit interiors.Thanks to the powerful BIONZ image processing engine, Quick AF Live View now supports even speedier shooting responses with rapid, precise autofocus. This makes it easier than ever to capture beautifully relaxed portraits, dynamic action shots and more.Powered by the BIONZ image processing engine, fast-moving action can now be captured effortlessly with faster continuous shooting speeds. Sustained shooting speeds of up to 4 fps can be achieved in Live View Mode, rising to 5 fps with the optical viewfinder. New Speed Priority mode on the DSLR-A550 raises the bar further still, shooting at an incredible 7 fps (with AF and AE setting maintained from the first frame ). It's a powerful creative tool for capturing the nuances of a portrait subject's changing expression or dynamic action sequences.In a DSLR debut, Quick AF Live View now features Face Detection, prioritising AF on people's faces and fine-tuning exposure/white balance settings for crisp, beautiful portraits with natural skin tones. Another DSLR first by Sony that's already featured on many Cyber-shot™ models, Smile Shutter detects faces in Live View mode, automatically firing the shutter at just the right moment to capture happy, relaxed smiles.A special new Manual Focus Check Live View mode assists with fine-tuning your composition. Low-noise images can be previewed directly from the CMOS sensor, allowing critical assessment of focus and fine detail, even in low light. The live image offers 100% field coverage, assisted by framing grid lines for precise composition. There's also a selectable 7x/14x zoom function for a close-up confirmation of focus.The A500 offers a crisp, high-contrast 3.0 type Clear Photo LCD Plus screen with the same tilt range for clear, comfortable composition and reviewing shots. The A550 features a superb (921k dot) 3-inch Xtra Fine LCD screen for critical focusing and photo-quality viewing with class-leading colour, contrast and detailing. The screen tilts up or down over a full 180 degree range, allowing uncompromised 'free-angle' live view shooting in any position. An ambient light sensor automatically boosts LCD brightness for extra screen clarity when surrounding light levels are high while both cameras also feature a clear, bright optical viewfinder with wide 95% field coverage for framing and focusing as an alternative to live view shooting.Operation of both cameras is brilliantly simple, thanks to a redesigned on-screen interface that provides easy access to functions and settings during live view operation. A unique Graphic Display gives a clear, intuitive indication of how shutter speed and aperture adjustments will affect the final image.Creative options are broadened by new Auto HDR mode that captures a huge range of shadow and highlight detail in landscapes, interiors and other scenes. Previously accessible only to enthusiasts equipped with a tripod and image processing software, HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a specialist technique that combines two frames shot at different exposure settings. The A500 and A550 use powerful algorithms to combine and optimise two successive frames in less than 10 seconds, correcting any misalignment between frames when shooting handheld. The result is a single HDR image emulating the huge natural tonal range of human vision – with no PC or tripod needed.The D-Range Optimiser featured in previous DSLR models has been enhanced for even better results with backlit portraits and other tricky high-contrast scenes. The powerful BIONZ engine now optimises image data in real time, processing brightness and contrast in individual areas of each exposure for balanced, natural looking results. Optimisation can also be selected manually from 5 processing levels.A Smart Teleconvertor button instantly boosts image size by 1.4x or 2x to etend your camera's zoom lens range further for frame-filling close-ups.Like all DSLR cameras by Sony, both new models feature SteadyShot™ INSIDE, the powerful optical image stabiliser that cuts the effects of camera shake by up to 4 stops while shooting handheld with any lens.After shooting, it's easy to to connect both cameras to your BRAVIA™ television via HDMI (requires optional cable) for a stunning big-screen view of your shots. Compatible BRAVIA™ models automatically switch to PhotoTV HD mode for optimised still image playback with incredible detail, colour and clarity. BRAVIA Sync lets you control image slideshows in comfort via your TV's remote.Both cameras let you capture even more incredible moments without the worry of running out of power. The rechargeable battery pack of the A500 allows up to 1000 shots (CIPA test, approx. figure) – the highest capacity of any α series digital SLR camera battery to date. The battery of the A550 delivers up to 950 shots from a single charge.If you're hungry for even more shooting stamina, the new VG-B50AM Vertical Control Grip holds up to two NP-FM500H batteries. This premium grip gives A500 users an incredible 2,000 shot maximum capacity (A550: 1,900 shots), with automatic switchover between batteries and accurate display of power remaining in % increments on the camera's LCD. An additional shutter release and dual controls support comfortable, accurate shooting in either portrait or landscape positions. Also, with Memory Stick™ at the heart of the Sony alpha, you have every advantage. The advanced Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX (4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB) is the perfect tool for continuous shooting mode, with the ideal combination of massive storage capacity and blisteringly fast operation. Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX 32GB will never miss the key shot because the number of pictures taken in 1 min is approx 270* photos (in RAW+JPEG/L (12M).Delivered with USB Adaptor, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX 32GB is ideal for users who want to transfer data in high speed: approx. 1700[1] pictures in L (12M) size at RAW+JPEG mode in 26 minutes.

Fox which does not distinguish between food and toys
Don't play with your food, son! Fox cub tosses mouse snack around before enjoying his feast. It's not polite to play with your dinner but no one told this naughty Mr Fox. Tossing a poor little mouse about like a rag doll, this cub may be having a great time – though for the meal in question, it doesn't look anywhere near as much fun. Nature photographer Marcin Nawrocki, 34, from Poland, noticed a young family of foxes living near his home town of Kutno, when he was out searching for birds living on a river.

Mice pudding: This one-month-old fox was given the mouse as a snack by its mother. She also brought rodent treats for his brother and sister
The mouse that soared: The cub was snapped playing with the poor mouse by nature photographer Marcin Nawrocki near his home town of Kutno in Poland
I can't see! When his siblings closed in, the cub ran off – with the mouse flapping wildly across his face
Poor mouse: The fox grips the rodent in his mouth and wanders off to devour his feast

Byung-Hyun Kim (born January 19, 1979 in Kwangsan-Ku Songjungdong, South Korea) a.k.a BK is a free agent right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. Previously, he played for the Arizona Diamondbacks (-, ), Boston Red Sox (2003-), Colorado Rockies (2005-2007), and Florida Marlins (2007).
Usually described as a submarine pitcher, Kim is a side-arm and under-arm hard thrower who uses a great variety of deliveries. Kim possesses a four-seam fastball with tailing movement frequently hitting the low 90's, a Frisbee slider with sweeping motion across the plate, an up-shoot slider with a rising motion, and a circle-changeup which he usually uses to strike out left-handed hitters. Nevertheless, during the three seasons between and , his main problem had been the loss of right pitching balance, which caused difficulty in ball control, reduced ball velocity, and an appearance of inability to handle pressure to those who did not understand the relationship between the balance and an overall performance for an underhand pitcher. During that time, he also struggled against left-handed batters. But his performance has improved each season since 2005.
Kim is a 1997 graduate of Gwangju First High School. Jae Seo and Hee Seop Choi were Kim's teammates in 1996 and they are very close friends. Named both the Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher for the National High School championships in Korea, Kim was selected to the 1996 National Junior Team, then named to the National Team in both 1997 and 1998. In that year, he pitched against the US Olympic team, striking out 15 batters in 6 2/3 innings. Later, he helped Korea claim the gold medal in the Asian Games held in Bangkok, Thailand. Kim attended Sungkyunkwan University's Faculty of Law until 1999.
He made his first career postseason appearance in the NLDS Game 3 at the Busch Stadium to protect the Diamondbacks' 5-3 lead against the Cardinals with the go-ahead run at the plate in the 8th inning. After a walk to Albert Pujols that loaded the bases, Kim ended the inning with a center-field flyout. In the 9th inning, Kim saved the game with the game-ending double play off Mark McGwire's bat.
In the NLCS against the Atlanta Braves, Kim worked a scoreless inning in Game 2, in which the Diamondbacks lost. Kim then saved Games 4 and 5 for the Diamondbacks and sealed his team's claim of the championship. Kim entered Game 4 with the bases loaded with no out in the 8th inning to save the Diamondbacks' 7-3 lead. Kim shut out this inning with a double play and a lineout. He then retired the next 3 batters in the 9th inning and saved the game. The next night, Kim pitched another 2 shutout innings and saved the game that clinched the Diamondbacks' ticket to the World Series. Kim became the first pitcher since Goose Gossage to earn two-inning saves on back-to-back days in the postseason. In the 2004 postseason, Houston Astros closer Brad Lidge matched Gossage and Kim's feat.
With the Diamondbacks up two games to one going into Game 4, Kim relieved Curt Schilling in the eighth inning with the Diamondbacks leading 3-1. Kim struck out Shane Spencer, Scott Brosius, Alfonso Soriano, and Bernie Williams and grounded out Derek Jeter. But Paul O'Neill hit a single off Kim before Jeter's plate appearance and Tino Martinez's two-out, two-run home run tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. With another home run hit off Kim by Derek Jeter in the bottom of the tenth, the Yankees won the game and tied the Series. Kim threw more than 60 pitches and was charged with the loss. The night after, in Game 5, Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly sent Kim again to the mound to protect the Diamondbacks' 2-0 lead. Jorge Posada hit a double off Kim, but Kim grounded out Shane Spencer and struck out Chuck Knoblauch. Then the Yankees again came from a two-run, two-out deficit in the ninth inning, to defeat the Diamondbacks in 12 innings. Kim was again victimized, this time by Scott Brosius, whose two-run home run tied the score. Later, Alfonso Soriano hit a single in the bottom of the 12th to win the game. Despite Kim's poor performance, the Diamondbacks staged a comeback and clinched the World Series Championship in Game 7 at Bank One Ballpark.
Kim later revealed in an exclusive interview how he felt during the 2001 World Series. "We went through the whole season, 25 guys and then the coaching staff. That time it was like old people. They said, 'OK, we got last chance.' Some people said if we don't win, next year everybody's gone." Kim continued, "Then I gave up a home run. I didn't feel good. But we won."
On June 12, 2002, Kim pitched two shut-out innings with four strikeouts and saved the Diamondbacks' 9-5 win over the New York Yankees at the Yankee Stadium.
In 2002, Kim converted 36 of 42 save opportunities, eighth-best in the NL. Kim was selected for the All-Star Game.
Kim remained as a starter through June, but the Red Sox needed him as their closer because the Red Sox's closer-by-committee approach implemented following the advice of the famed baseball statistician and Red Sox adviser Bill James was failing. On June 27, Kim made his final start for the 2003 season in Boston's 25-8 win against the Florida Marlins at Fenway Park.
Kim became the Red Sox closer in July, converting 16 saves out of 19 save opportunities despite pitching through lingering ankle and shoulder pain caused by the injury he sustained in April. Although he didn't give up a single earned run in September, by the time the postseason started Kim was not healthy enough to be effective on the pitching mound.
Kim was pulled in the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs in his only ALDS appearance in Game 1 against the Oakland Athletics. During the lineup announcement in Game 3 at Fenway Park, Red Sox fans intensely booed him. Thinking that he did not deserve the booing after he pitched despite being in pain to advance the Red Sox to the postseason, Kim gave them the middle finger, but later issued an apology. Because of shoulder stiffness, Kim was left off the ALCS roster.
Even though the Red Sox lost the ALCS to the Yankees, the Red Sox retained most of its core players for 2004 and won the World Series.
As a starter, Kim went 3-6 with a 3.38 ERA in 12 appearances in . In the beginning of 2004, however, problems with his balance -- a lingering effect of the 2003 ankle injury -- made him ineffective and cost him a spot in the starting rotation after going 1-1 with a 6.17 ERA in three starts. Bronson Arroyo took Kim's starting rotation spot and Kim was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket in May. Kim rejoined the Red Sox in September. He was assigned to the bullpen and won one game in 5.2 innings of work.
Kim briefly became a subject of talks between high-ranking U.S. and South Korean diplomats in August 2004. Upon his arrival in Seoul as the new U.S. Ambassador to Korea in August 2004, Ambassador Christopher R. Hill, currently Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and the chief U.S. negotiator for North Korea's nuclear program, spoke with his Korean diplomatic counterparts about Kim and the Red Sox, along with the U.S.-Korea relationship and other diplomatic and geopolitical issues surrounding the Korean peninsula. Ambassador Hill is one of the high-ranking "Red Sox fan" diplomats in the predominantly Red-Sox U.S. Department of State and watched the Red Sox win the World Series while stationed in Seoul. See South Korea-United States relations for more details and background information on Hill's mention of Kim.
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle gave Kim the choice of taking a spot in the bullpen (Kim posted 0-3 with 7.84 ERA as a middle reliever for the Rockies that season) or a starter position in the Rockies' Triple-A team Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Just 20 minutes later, Hurdle was told that that Rockies starter Shawn Chacon was injured and has to go to the disabled list, opening a spot in the Rockies starting rotation for Kim.
On August 8, Sunny Kim, another South Korean starting pitcher who had just joined the Rockies from the Washington Nationals, and Kim started doubleheader games at Coors Field against the Florida Marlins. They became the first two pitchers with same last name to start both ends of doubleheader since Gaylord and Jim Perry started each end of a doubleheader for the Cleveland Indians against the Boston Red Sox at the Fenway Park on June 22, 1974. The Rockies won both games and Kim collected a win.
Kim finished the season 5-9 with a 4.37 ERA as a starter and filed for free agency on November 1, 2005, and re-signed with the Rockies. He earned $1.25 million in 2006 with a club option worth $2.5 million in 2007 (with a $250k buyout).
He started two historic games in the Major League history soon thereafter. On May 22, 2006, Kim and his former high school teammate and then-Los Angeles Dodgers' starter Jae Seo started against each other. This game was the first game in which two Korean pitchers started against each other in the Major League history. Both pitchers had quality starts, but Seo outdueled Kim.
On May 28, Barry Bonds hit his 715th home run off Kim at SBC Park and surpassed Babe Ruth's 714 career home runs and put himself in sole possession of second place on the all-time career home runs list. After a three-minute delay, Kim struck out the next two batters and pitched 5 1/3 innings to collect a win.
On July 28, 2006, he had 5 consecutive strikeouts against the San Diego Padres, tying the Rockies record for consecutive strikeouts. In four different starts, he recorded nine strikeouts each against the Florida Marlins, Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals. Kim became the only pitcher in the Major League history to pitch shutout wins in consecutive starts at Coors Field by beating the Oakland Athletics on June 19 and the Texas Rangers on June 25.
After a spot start on April 15, Kim was placed on the disabled list with an injured thumb. He was assigned to the Rockies' Triple-A team, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, for a rehab assignment. Kim was concerned that his rehab assignment was longer than necessary and changed his agent by hiring Scott Boras to help speed up the trade process. On May 13, 2007, he was traded to the Florida Marlins for Jorge Julio. As a Marlin, he proved himself as a dependable starter.
On August 1, Kim collected his 50th career win with career-high ten strikeouts in his starting match-up against Josh Fogg at Dolphin Stadium.
Two days later, Kim was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kim's return to Arizona lasted two starts; the Diamondbacks designated him and Joe Kennedy for assignment on August 14. Shortly after Kim left the Diamonbacks, Diamondbacks closer Jose Valverde broke Kim's franchise single-season save record.
On August 25, 2007, the Florida Marlins re-signed Kim as a free agent.
On September 28, Kim collected his tenth win of the season against the Mets at Shea Stadium and became the second South Korean pitcher after Chan Ho Park to win ten games in a Major League season.

Both Toledo and Utah State showed flashes of brilliance this season, and they'll have the chance to end the season on a high note in Saturday's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Toledo, out of the MAC, finished the year 9-3 overall and 6-2 in conference play. Back-to-back losses in early November ended their hopes of a berth in the conference title game, but the Rockets still have the opportunity to cap the year with a win over a nationally ranked program. David Fluellen is the unquestioned offensive leader for the Rockets, rushing for 13 touchdowns on 252 carries for 1,460 yards.
No. 22 Utah State has won six straight and finished WAC play at a perfect 6-0. Kerwynn Williams leads a balanced receiving corps that saw four players haul in five touchdown passes. Utah State is also eighth in the country in points against, allowing just 15.4 per contest. The Aggies have not lost since Oct. 5 on the road at BYU. They played in last year's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, losing to Ohio.

i've recently discovered that the Lumia's voice recognition software is quite good. I mainly use it for text responses as i find the portrait keyboard too small, and landscape's full stop key is too large (for me) so i keep hitting that instead of space bar.
the only gripe i've got is that the voice software doesn't know how to punctuate. how do you persuade it to use commas, question/exclamation marks etc? do you have to directly instruct it like .."hey comma how are you question mark"?
i wouldn't have trouble going back and simply punctuating what was in the message before sending, except that it's damn hard to do so. there's no "back" key for the cursor, you have to touch where you want the cursor to be and 9 times out of 10 this simply highlights the whole word you've touched - it's damn hard to get the cursor into a word space!
is this to be addressed? anyone else with the same issues? i like the software but can't properly use it....
11-05-2012 6:15
I cannot believe you would say how good it is . It can only recognise 1 name out of 200 names in my contact list. Even simple names like Ian or Glenn it does not recognise. When it has read names back to me the pronunciation has been absurd, for example pronouncing Leah as Lee or Fozzard as Fizzerd. This is not just the difference between Australian accents and us but bad programming. I am a long time user and loved my Nokia E71 but this phone is rubbish.
I find it absurd that you cannot send PDF via email. for that matter I cannot get me POP3 outgoing email account to even work.
What a backward step in technology.
11-05-2012 11:13
11-05-2012 19:42 - edited 11-05-2012 19:44
by simply tapping on the text once will highlight the entire word however in order to get to the spaces between words, you'll need to keep your finger pressed on the text and then a cursor will appear thereafter by keeping your finger pressed on the screen, move the cursor to where you desire to add the punctuations.
i find the voice recognition rather useful. i was a N78 user therefore i used to be able to text without the need to look at the screen. switching to a full touch screen is new to me.
i only use the voice recognition when i am driving and preferably when alone so i don't look like a psycho pronouncing everything word in the most precise manner i can find.
sure the voice recognition is not 100% accurate, so is Siri however i somehow believe the system is evolving to our pronounciation because somehow the phone now recognises the word that i spoke in which previously it did not =O
12-05-2012 18:02 - edited 12-05-2012 18:03
I have very little love for Lumia but to be fair the voice recognition especially if using Dictation Station is pretty good. Not sure if it's significantly faster than using the keyboard except for short sms messages and or "call x" but it's fun to use.
06-07-2012 7:51
I absolutely agree - the thing has a mind of its own, some days it will work - others it will not. For example this morning it would not recognise a name I use every day and when it eventually did it could nt even make out a simple "hello" or Good Morning".
For a phone as advanced as this it is simply not good enough. I am thinking of returning it as faulty goods as I use my car a lot and this is a very handy tool - when it works!!!!!

"I'm thrilled and honored to be filling in for the amazing Bob Bonniol at this year's Projection Master Classes. The program has a great line up of industry leaders, from designers to manufacturers, and will look in depth at some fantastic recent projects, I'm looking forward to being part of a detailed exploration of this exciting and rapidly developing field and a lively debate on the direction of future development." Abbey Rosen Holmes
As Abbey Rosen Holmes heads toward her first experience as creative consultant for the Live Design Projection Master Classes at LDI2011, October 26 & 27 at Full Sail in Orlando, we take a moment to chat with her, and see who she is and what she has in store:
How did you get into this biz and what led you to concert design?
I still love working on concert design today for the same reasons which attracted me to concert design initially— the opportunity to work directly with fantastic artists who are primarily creating and performing their own work, and the design possibilities of a medium which can be very abstract in it's delivery but still have so much meaning at it's core.
How does your bi-coastal NYX Design firm work?
NYX Design is a partnership between myself, and designers Manny Treeson and Brian Gale. We're really lucky to work on lighting and video for projects across many areas of design including special events, concert, television, corporate, and themed architecture
How do you see projection as a visual design tool?
One of the interesting things to me about projection and video design are the wide range or roles it can play in performance and entertainment. From creating a sense of time and place, to occupying a filmic role in story telling, or in creation of an abstract spectacle—this is a design area with so many avenues for creativity.
Stepping in for Bob Bonniol could be daunting but you seem excited, what is it you like about leading the PMC?
This year's PMC has a really amazing line up of speakers and panelists. And also great representatives from product design in a field where the evolving technology seems to provide new opportunities every day. I'm looking forward to this chance to work with them all and see more of their work, and to a lively debate about the direction and future of this fast changing field.
What do you hope the attendees will take away from the PMC this year?
I think those attending the sessions will get a great window into the exciting work and developing technology in this field, and also real and specific learning in how to use the tools of design and production.

The featherweights take center stage in the first half UFC Fight Night 26 with a pair of fights that won't set the world on fire, but that should nonetheless deliver.
Mike Brown (26-8) vs. Steven Siler (22-10) Featherweight
History Lesson: MMA moves so fast, that despite trying to make this my dayjob, I honestly forget that some fighters are even on the roster. Take our current WEC Featherweight Champion, for example....wait...the WEC doesn't exist anymore? What? He got knocked out by Manny Gamburyan??
You get the picture. Though Brown is coming off two wins, he's only 2-2 in the UFC, and hasn't felt relevant despite a well-earned title that saw him overcome the relentless assault of Urjiah Faber, who continues to dazzle us with his California flair.
It's difficult to say where it all went wrong, but the 37 year old from Portland, Maine has plenty of mileage on his body. He's had to battle numerous injuries throughout his career.
Siler has had a drastically shorter career; a career that began on The Ultimate Fighter where he gained casual viewer fandom by getting the toughest fight just to get on the show when he was paired up with MMA veteran Micah Miller. A point the show emphasized with glee. Since then he's gone 4-1 in the UFC.
What both men can do: Despite starting his career out as a highlight reel for Genki Sudo in one of the slickest back control takeovers you'll ever see, Brown is a deceptively versatile fighter. While he's a plodding striker, he's got immense power in his right hand. In addition, his ground game is slicker than advertised. Leonard Garcia is a punchline among striking enthusiasts, which happens to be an unfortunate side effect of MMA judges being lunatics, but he's well rounded enough that watching Brown cut up his guard and sinking in an arm triangle should be seen as a reflection of the many ways Brown can threaten an opponent.
"Appearances can be deceptive", Chad Feldheimer once eloquently intoned. And so it goes with Steven Siler. He doesn't look imposing, but he has a rugged game that has served him well thus far. Siler is your traditional jack-of-all-trades type, but what I like most about Siler's game is that he's a tall fighter that doesn't need to jab just to emphasize how well one can take advantage of reach. He takes a very square stance when striking, which is important for taller fighters, and displays some very quick and efficient knees in close. While most of his wins are by submission, I wouldn't call that the best part of his game, but it does illustrate how crafty he is when the fight goes to the ground, as he has solid back control, and a suave guillotine.
What both men can't do: With that said, he's less capable on the ground from his back. While he's got a slick triangle, it's not something he should rely on against Brown. In addition, he's too eager to throw knees inside, which means someone like Brown might success dirty boxing him. It's not something I'd bet on, but something to watch out for. While I think Siler deserves praise for some of his ability on the feet, his chin has yet to prove its durability. Sure Brandao, and Mendes hit hard, but so does Brown.
Brown, however, can be picked apart on the feet. It's a testament to his limitations that Faber was able to adapt and score points on the feet minus one hand in their rematch. While it was a brilliant display of adaptation on Faber's part, it was also a revelation of Brown's deficiencies. Nam Phan had no problem scoring big on the feet.
X-Factor: Ever since Masakzu Imanari tore apart Brown's leg, Mike has had to deal with some sort of injury. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brown look lethargic, and sluggish. Brown has the tools to win on paper. He has the wrestling to get it to the ground, the striking to threaten and defend, and the submissions to counter Siler's offense, but will his body and mind to up to the task?
Brown did not look great against Pineda, or Phan; in fact, I was more impressed with Pineda and Phan than I was with Brown in both cases. While I think Siler will lose the first round, I think he can use his range to defend takedowns better as the fight goes on, leaving Brown to get increasingly picked apart on the feet from outside. The other x-factor is the judges; this is exactly the kind of fight prone to Cecil People-ian skullduggery.
Prediction: Steven Siler by Unanimous Decision.
Diego Brandao (17-8) vs. Daniel Pineda (17-9) Featherweight
History Lesson: Brandao began his career like a lot of TUF contestants; getting drunk for the cameras, and revealing his masculinity with his fists bongo-drumming his chest. Having said that, he beat Dennis Bermudez in one of the better TUF Finale bouts ever, and has proven himself a solid FW since then, losing only to Darren Elkins.
Pineda has had some tough opposition for an unknown, drawing Antonio Carvalho and Mike Brown early on his short UFC tenure, but with 3 victories on the octagon thus far. His last victory got him SOTN bonus money as he took out Justin Lawrence with a beautiful kimura early in the first round.
What both men can do: Brandao is as high-octane a competitor as it gets. His short fuse is a decent representation of how he fights in the cage. He's managed to translate his hatred of doors into the cage, where he fires punches and kicks with reckless abandon. A good arsenal of knees (particularly the flying variety), and a talented ground game allow him to take the chances he does.
The reason I'm being brief with Brandao's talents is that I feel like he's a lot like Pineda. Pineda is only a slightly less restrained version of Diego; both are guys who possess a fluidity in all facets in the game, but it's Pineda who I think might be a slightly better technician. His ability to double up the jab, and mix in combinations with high kicks makes him a threat similar to a Rafael dos Anjos type; fighters who aren't world beaters, but that tend to be sleepers in the division. However, I have to concentrate on...
What both men can't do: Their porous defense. Brandao seems almost eager to get punched in the face, whereas Pineda is just technically deficient. One of the things I didn't like from Pineda in the Mike Brown fight was watching him throw strikes focused on quantity rather than quality. If he fought even just slightly more intelligent, he might not have gassed. Throwing one too many punches with little to no-power is not how you beat Diego.
X-Factor: It's quite possible that Brandao's fists are where you can find his occipital lobes. Pineda may not be a power punches, but accuracy is more important in this sport, and it's not like Pineda won't find his target given how he fights. I know I'm harping too much on Brandao's defense, or lackthereof, but it's impossible to underemphasize.
I wouldn't say it's enough to not pick here though. Like I said...if Pineda can weather the initial storm, expect this to be FOTN-level action. Hell, even FOTY-level action. It's that good stylistically. But I feel like Pineda's lack of power will let Brandao's aggression on the feet to take over with a bout-ending punch.
Prediction: Diego Brandao by TKO, round 2.

One of my major concerns for MMA in 2009 is what will happen to women's MMA. I suspect by 2010 the MMA community will have a better much sense of women's MMA trajectory for at least the forseeable future. Will it blossom to the point where there are robust divisions featured in national spotlight or will this continue to be mostly the Gina Carano show? The answer is no one really knows at this juncture, but for those concerned about the fate of women's MMA it's encouraging to see prominent regional promotions across the country still have a place for them.
Above is a promo video the UWC has put together for the female fight on the UWC: Man O' War card on February 21st. There are a few notable features to this fight that are worth articulating. While there is no larger message to this point, both women are making their pro debuts (Herrig, however, has a background in western kickboxing where she was quite accomplished). Both women also come from respectable camps as Herrig is with Matt Hughes' H.I.T. Squad in Granite City, Illinois and Achhal from Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Sterling, VA. Most interestingly, Achhal is a Moroccan immigrant who fled her home country to escape an arranged marriage. As the son of an immigrant mother, I can only imagine what sort of grit and focus Achhal has to pesevere in a foreign country, but something seems awfully fitting she chose MMA as a career outlet. I can also say that in terms of media interest, this fight seems to be getting the mainstream's attention, so perhaps that is a signal women's MMA will find meaningful growth in the coming months.
Disclosure: I am an employee of UWC, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I would like to point out, though, that I desperately want MMA to be successful in Washington, D.C. I am fortunate enough to have resources to potentially affect that growth and success, so I choose to make use of them. I have witnessed the development on MMA in DC since 2004 and, by far, the UWC is our best hope for having a meaningful professional organization call DC home. My goal is to grow MMA in this area and in the UWC, I have found a product that has the capability to do it well.
Full press release after the jump.
Ultimate Warrior Challenge Brings Women's Mixed Martial Arts to Washington, D.C.
Felice Herrig vs Iman Achhal Make Pro Debuts as UWC: MAN "O" WAR Hits the Patriot Center on February 21st
Washington D.C. -- The Ultimate Warrior Challenge (UWC) announced today the signing of a fight between national women's champion kickboxer Felice Herrig and local fighting sensation Iman Achhal. The 120 pound fight will take place at UWC 5: MAN "O" WAR, which will be held February 21st, 2009 at the George Mason University Patriot Center Arena in Fairfax, VA.
Both women will be making their professional MMA debuts.
Felice "Lil' Bulldog" Herrig is a champion kickboxer with an 18-2-1 record, holding multiple national titles from both the IKF and the W.A.K.O. She trains MMA with UFC legend Matt Hughes, Elite XC World Champ Robbie Lawler, and top MMA wrestling coach Marc Fiore out of H.I.T. Squad in Granite City, Illinois. Herrig is a veteran of Chuck Norris' World Combat League and a winner on the Oxygen Channel's Fight Girls.
Iman "Mannie" Achhal holds an amateur MMA record of 4-0-1. She has fought in CageFest, Operation Octagon and the Barbarian Fight Club. An immigrant who led Morocco to escape an arranged marriage with a much older man and then endured homelessness before becoming a Fairfax County firefighter. Achhal describes fighting mixed martial-arts as "my American Dream". Acchal fights as part of Team Royce Gracie out of Capital Jiu-Jitsu, in Northern Virginia.
Women's MMA is a fast rising phenomenon in the world of sports. Two of the top ten most-viewed fights in the history of mixed martial arts were women's bouts aired on CBS in 2008, each drawing more than 5 million viewers. Its no secret to the fans that female fighters are skilled and willing to throw down.
"The UWC is about building the stars of tomorrow and we are proud to be promoting the first professional women's MMA match in the D.C. area," said UWC CEO S. Marcello Foran. "Both of these ladies are incredible talents and proven competitors who are ready to showcase their skills and that women's MMA is for real."
"We looked long and hard to 2nd exactly the right fighters to feature in D.C.'s first ever pro-women's MMA fight and I can't wait for the fans to see this one," continued Foran. "Felice has an incredible striking background and Iman is one of the gamest fighters you'll find anywhere."
The card will be co-headlined by the first ever UWC bantamweight world championship fight featuring Mike "The Hulk" Easton vs Chase "The Rage" Beebe and a light heavyweight battle between Antwain "The Juggernaut" Britt vs Jamal "The Suit" Patterson.
UWC: MAN "O" WAR will be held Saturday February 21, 2009 at the George Mason University Patriot Center Arena in Fairfax, Virginia. The event will feature a total of ten fights.

We've seen a fair share of toy "manias" over past holiday seasons.
Tickle Me Elmo, released in '96, is one fad that comes to mind. They were nearly impossible to get, and the ones you could get fetched over thousands of dollars at one point.
And who can forget the Tamagotchi's? Beanie Babies? Pogs? It's hard to believe it, but toys like these once ruled the holiday season.
They even inspired the big screen film Jingle All The Way. Who can forget Sinbad and Arnold Schwarzenegger battling it out for the popular "Turbo-Man" doll?
Which holiday gifts have you waited in line hours for? Do you still own some of the past holiday toys that have fizzled out of style? Tell us in the comments.

I am tying up the last few strings for this semester as the holidays are coming around. I have issues with holidays. There some cruelty to them. Everyone is expected to act certain ways and have certain components in their life: family, friends, wealth enough for a banquet. Many don't enjoy these things. Many people are products of broken families, either by choice or by difficult circumstances. Holidays provide an impetus for many to believe their lives are wrecked. After all, if you don't enjoy the common, American rituals there must be something wrong with you, right?
I'm a big fan of constantly enjoying the people around you and the people who are important to you. We shouldn't need holidays for that. So as the holidays come, I would like to encourage those struggling. We are all one community. I hope everyone has a happy holiday that doesn't revolve around rituals that contain little meaning.

Middleton woman pepper-sprayed, Tasered after run-in with officer
Police responded to 92 Deer Run Road after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance around 7:20 p.m. After an investigation, Officer Jason Durrance attempted to arrest Shawna A. Brown, 41, who allegedly resisted and began wrestling with him, according to police.
After Durrance said he was kicked twice, he used Oleoresin Capsicum "OC" spray on Brown, who continued to resist. As a result, Durrance used his Taser to subdue Brown, who was taken into custody, according to police.
As part of the procedure after "a use of force incident," Brown was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester. She was then moved to the Rochester Police Department, where bail was set at $5,000 cash, according to police.
Brown, of 92 Deer Run Road, was charged with resisting arrest and two counts of simple assault on an officer.
Resisting arrest and simple assault are both class A misdemeanors, which are punishable by up to one year in jail for each charge, but assaulting an officer may result in an additional year in jail for each offense.
Durrance sustained minor injuries but returned to full duty, according to police.
The N.H. Probation and Parole Department placed a detention order on Brown. As a result, she will be held in Strafford County Jail in Dover for a 72-hour-period. She was scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court, Rochester District Division, this morning, according to police.

AFC West Spin cycle: Broncos pass test, Raiders shut out Chiefs
The Broncos won their ninth in a row, the Raiders shut out the Chiefs and the Chargers got blown out at home by Carolina.
A person with knowledge of the deal says the San Diego Chargers have agreed in principle to a four-year contract with kicker Nick Novak.||||||| Novak made 18 of 20 field goal attempts (90 percent) in 2012, the third-highest conversion rate in team history. He was signed on Sept. 29 after Nate Kaeding hurt his groin in practice two days before a game at Kansas City. Novak also kicked for San Diego in the final 15 games of 2011 after Kaeding was hurt on the season-opening kickoff.
Novak agreed Tuesday to a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers to replace the injured Nate Kaeding.||||||| Novak, who was in training camp with the Chargers in 2010 and the New York Jets this season, has kicked in 22 NFL games, making 19 of 30 career field goal attempts (.633). He's played with Washington, Arizona and Kansas City.
The San Diego Chargers have signed kicker Nick Novak to a one-year contract.||||||| The move comes as Nate Kaeding rehabs a groin injury sustained in practice prior to the Pro Bowl. Kaeding missed three field goals in San Diego's 17-14 playoff loss to the New York Jets. Novak was out of football last year. He kicked for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008. Before that, he played for the Washington Redskins and Arizona Cardinals in 2005-06.
Novak was released on Tuesday and replaced by Connor Barth, who was beaten out by Novak in August.||||||| Novak missed two field goals in last week's 34-10 loss to Tennessee.
The Redskins signed Novak on Tuesday after the former University of Maryland kicker won a four-way competition among available free agents. He'll handle the kicking duties in Sunday's game against Tennessee.||||||| Novak will replace John Hall, who was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Novak was 5-of-7 on field-goal attempts in five games in place of the injured Hall last season.

Old Tiger brings their old soul sound to West Coast Tavern for a free show.
You've got some pretty serious choices to make tonight. For those of you on a tight budget, there are great free shows at West Coast Tavern, with Old Tiger; Western States Motel at Bar Pink; and Tape Deck Mountain playing a rare hometown show at the Whistle Stop. You can probably hop between all three shows if you plan appropriately. You can also check out great lineups at the Casbah, Tin Can, Soda Bar and Eleven, or get nostalgic and head to the House of Blues to check out the Gracious Few, a new band made up of members of Candlebox and Live. It's a good night to be out, so whatever you do, designate a driver and have a great pre-weekend sendoff.

Too bad this GOP smear was thoroughly debunked a month ago. Is it really possible that as big a journalist as Evan Thomas – not to mention his editors at Newsweek – never even heard that this was debunked?
Obama's style is more informal than his predecessor's. Bush insisted on respect for the office: aides wore coats and ties and saluted smartly, metaphorically and literally. White House photos show Obama in his shirt sleeves or tossing a football in the Oval Office.
Bush aides always wore coats:
Bush never worked in shirt sleeves:
