News: Chris Brown To Wait For Sentencing, Judge Forces Delay
Wednesday, Aug 5, 2009 9:25PM
Chris Brown's sentencing today (August 5) in a California courtroom over his assault against Rihanna was delayed until later this month after a judge decided to review what his sentence should include.
The re-sentencing will reportedly take place later this month.
Brown was due to be sentenced on Wednesday for assaulting the singer Rihanna, his onetime girlfriend, in February; Mr. Brown, 20, pleaded guilty to felony assault in June, and was expected to receive a sentence of five years probation and six months of community labor. But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said on Wednesday that she was delaying the sentencing to Aug. 27, to determine whether Mr. Brown could serve the community labor ? along the lines of removing graffiti or cleaning roads ? in his home state of Virginia. (New York Times)
Schnegg also stressed the importance of making sure Brown was required to perform physical labor.
He agreed to serve five years probation, attend classes on domestic violence and perform 180 days of community service, which is expected to take place in his home state of Virginia. Schnegg said she wanted to be assured that Brown would be doing physical work as part of his community service. (Reuters)
Chris Breezy previously released a public apology video to both Rihanna and his fans last month.
"Hi, I'm Chris Brown," he says in the video. "Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out even though ever since the incident, I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility...I take great pride in being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I'm very sad and very ashamed about what I've done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that. I have told Rihanna countless times and I'm telling you today that I'm truly truly sorry that I wasn't able to handle the situation better...I've spent a lot time soul searching, and I'm trying to understand what happened and why. No one is more disappointed in me than I am...What I did is unacceptable, 100 percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please. I hope that others learn from my mistake. I intend to live my life so I am truly worthy of the term role model. Thank you." (Chris Brown TV)
He recently made headlines after appearing on-stage with Lil Wayne earlier this week.
Chris sang "Every Girl" and apparently enjoyed the set as he was seen smiling and dancing energetically alongside the tour's original performers. During the August 2 live gig, Chris did not only sing but also managed to moonwalk when Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" was played on-stage. To the concertgoers, Weezy shouted, "Ya'll make some noise for the new Michael." (Ace Showbiz)
Chris Brown is due back in court for sentencing on Thursday, August 27th.

A Tucson school which opened two years with high academic expectations is facing an overhaul.
The Arizona Daily Star reported that Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence is retooling after getting a "D" rating last year.
Officials said the southwest Tucson K-8 school will change its model where some grades are combined into one classroom to each grade getting its own classroom.
The school also has hired a math consultant to improve math scores.
Schools that receive a grade of D three years in a row are labeled failing and will be placed under the school improvement process by the state.
McCorkle Principal Elizabeth Redondo said that despite the challenges, families are not fleeing. She said the school is expected to be at or near capacity next year.

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
Oh JT, nightmare about the bleed. We have 2 very troublesome pregnancies on here at the moment don't we. Glad to hear that scan was all OK though.
Vixo, camping sounded lovely. See your husband was right, you were worrying about nothing as it all came good in the end!!
Caro, your camping sounded good too, I'd like to meet whoever came up with your breakfast menu, my kind of food, nomnomnom.
CM, glad things are moving quickly for you, hope all does settle down soon without the need for hormones. Does this mean you are heading into menopause? Sorry, bit ignorant on the whole not ovulating part of the diagnosis.
Hoggle, sorry to hear your back so bad again. Hugs from here.
MM, grrr to your fall. Ouchie.
Have a poorly boy at the moment. He woke us up at about 2am Sunday morning as he had been sick in his bed. Poor little thing, apart from carsickness, we have been extremely lucky with his health so far. He was so sad and crying as his tummy hurt. I cleaned everything up and put new bedding on and stayed with him for the rest of the night. He's such a brave little thing and not a moaner at all (takes after his mum there ). He couldn't even keep water down all day yesterday but managed a cheese sandwich before bed. We had already arranged to keep him off nursery today but were happy he had made it through the night but I think he glugged a bit of milk first thing and was sick again straight away. He is with my friend and her daughter today. I have just received a picture of them having a picnic on the rug in front of the TV watching Wimbledon so hopefully he's feeling a bit better. Although you can't enjoy having a sick child, the side effect of all of the cuddles is not so bad!
Oh no JT. Glad all ok.
No apology. He ran off. Didn't come and find me either. Marshall and St. John's were fab though. Not seeing anyone for now just resting as don't want the bruising to spread. Rest is the key for now. Not too bothered as running so badly anyway, the rest can only help. Gives me time to think about the next challenge and where I want to go.
Early menopause is pretty much confirmed, so waiting game.
Nice day with the kids. Just waiting for hubbie to come home and we can have some bubbles!
Thanks for the suncream feedback CC and Vixo - might avoid it next time, or try some more skin friendly versions?? As Alan turned out to be allergic to some ingredients in his eczema creams I'm not really surprised! Also might explain why Aidan's face went red last time I used sun cream.
JT - poor you, hope you are okay. I had a bit of bleeding with B and not with my first two which was scary enough xx
CM - hope everything comes back ok and they can sort it out.
TT - hope the sickness is better - I have found that if I let mine eat or drink too much when they are feeling better it generally comes back up!
Oh yes, happy anniversary MM
Caro Try a decent-sized W H Smith and you'll find quite a good range of potential presents under £10. Science Museum stuff, arts and crafts, small toys etc.
Sorry to hear about your fall MM. Hope you're back running properly soon.
Hope it's nothing serious JT.
Any feedback from Legoland Vixo?
Hope he's better soon TTid.
eek and boo to being tripped MM, not gracious either by running off!, boo to reacting to face cream, stinging nettles, another bleed JT, biopsy (ouch CM) idiotic parents/ inlaws and need for op Hoggle.
Yippee to anniversary MM and birthdays CC.
Sports day and cheered Archie home to 3 firsts and a second and Tom to a second and a something that I couldn't quite see......
Ordered curtains off Internet - bog standard and plain but no way could I make/ line anything! Thanks for advice girls, but I know my limits!
CM - think eldest would struggle to insure a 1.8 otherwise I would have had yours!
Butt ok today but pain down my leg and behind my knee has reduced me to a limp so squeezing an appt in with Physio tomorrow.
How rude MM!!
Thanks RB - that is one shop I would never think to go in! Not sure I'm going to get to one before the first party though......
Ordered a load of stuff online last night to make M's b day cake. Now it's July she is definitely in count down mode! (3 weeks tomorrow for whoever wasn't in ear shot of her today, which is probably not many people the number of times she mentioned it!)
Sister and new man arrive on Thurs from USA. It's July 4th so they have requsted an Independence Day BBQ, and fortunately the weather looks like it might oblige. Then on Sun we're having a small family party here for her 40th b day celebrations at her request, so that will be fun. I hope the new man is nice........still can't really get used to the idea, esp as her ex husband is currently e mailing me from Australia telling me all about his holiday!
oh and hope you get rid of germs too TT - don't want O catching a vom bug.
Oh and JT look after yourself, or you'll end up room mates with EF!
Poor M? Tt. Never easy when they're ill but like you say, the cuddles are good
caro - you can get some good little lego kits for about £7 if you go for the lego city stuff. Also, I got a hex bug pack thing for £9.99 in Argos yesterday. Was half price so looked much more generous. My two love them.
happy anniversary mm!
everything seems settled again at mo. had ths earlier then a bleec again after the scan. The dr couldn't find my cervix opening this morning which didn't help matters so still don't really know if cervix is open or not! Reassuringly (and not my usual style,) I've found a number of forums with people with the same condition who had the same bleeding issues but have had healthy pregnancies. Everything crossed!
Lol Caro! I did think that my body may be in competition with her! Would have been better than the silent ward I was in, one lady clearly had dementia, another v poorly and I thought she might die (she went dowhill so fast during the morning t was scary) and the other was crying as she was having cancerous growths removed oh and then me. The nurses must have loved our bay!
Jeez JT, that's a crappy ward to put you on. Why not a maternity ward?
I bought a microscope for Max yesterday, original price $9.99 marked down to $2.99 (about £2!). He's still a little young for it (closed BOTH eyes when trying to look through it!) but very excited and I think he did actually see the insect wing they had mounted as a sample.
That was the gynae ward tt! Think the older ladies were there as there were no other beds available but other lady was having a hysterectomy. Only 43, how scary.
Oh goodness, fun times at the moment ladies then - not!!! JT, that sounds and awful ward to being in. Hope everything stays settled down for you though (())
TTid - yes, agree that you all need to stay germ-free too, more finger-crossing.
Yay to fabby sports-day, and LOL at the bits you missed! Hope physio can mend you.
My tooth which had a massive filling in it a couple of weeks ago is now really really aching so I guess I'll have to try and get a return appt. I did mention it to him last week and he prodded it and didn't seem concerned, but I am as it's quite a nagging ache and resorted to paracetamol today to stop it obv I've googled and it could be a number of things!
MM - is that early menopause or peri-menopause?
Gulp! I'm 43!
OK, a kind of race report but I will try and keep it brief!!
Lairig Ghru Race 2013. This is a Cat C long hill race, meaning it's quite straightforward (little navigating - that's the C bit) and long meaning it's over 20km. At 26.6 miles it's definitely long enough!
Start is in Braemar and then it runs up and into the Lairig Ghru which is an old drove road through the middle of Cairngorms, into the Rothiemurcus Forest and ultimately finishes on Aviemore High st amongst all the cars and shoppers. It's not really marshalled, just at the 8-mile point which has a water stop and a 1hr : 30 cut-off (if you don't make it reasonably they will turn you back). Next people you see are the Mountain Rescue team up in the middle of the pass, and then that's pretty much it until Aviemore so it's not somewhere you want to try and bail half way round because essentially you can't!!
After trying to work out various complicated logistics to get to race start (virtually impossible to get to by public transport apart from Aberdeen), hubby offered to drop me off in morning if I could sort childcare. So kids dropped off at friend at 7am and then we took the shortest (and definitely fastest) route cross-country, arriving way earlier than anticipated! Husband departed with vague time to collect me from Aviemore later (5ish hours I reckoned from starting).
Forecast was for strong winds gusting 50-70 mph but essentially dry. Was cold at start though as overcast so had usual flap about what to wear/carry. We were all meant to be carrying full set of waterproofs (along with map, compass, enough water and food) but kit checks were minimal which explained some of the miniscule packs being carried. I compromised with waterproof top and windproof trousers in bag - of course, I needed neither!!
Very mixed group, but many hardened serious-looking fell types and a fair amount of scared looking newbies including me. Record entry of 200 this year - a lot for a little race.
... 3, 2, 1 and at 10.00am we were off. First four miles out along road, straight into a headwind but still had to work not to get carried away with crowd and pace. Avg 8mm along here but noticed chest was tight and restricted. Next section was on land rover track, still good going underfoot though so 8 and 9mm for next four miles. Started to experience cramp in my feet though whenever the terrain changed so that was a bit of a nightmare as was constantly trying to stop toes from locking out and causing extreme pain!!
Reached the cut-off with a good 25 mins to spare so felt good about that, grabbed cup of water and jelly sweets before setting off again. Route fairly flat still, just a really gradual climb. Crossing boggy muddy wet stuff before path narrowed into single track and boulder-strewn. We had a river to wade but was only ankle-deep (has been thigh-deep in past).
Path gradually climbed upwards but never really too steep. The worst thing I found was bottlenecks on the path, the increased numbers didn't help I don't think. The worst offenders seemed to be groups of guys who bumbled along but seemed to feel no need to let others pass. So I often ended up doing dramatic leaps around people whenever the path had a wider bit; whenever I could hear someone thundering on my heels I was out of there way asap - I hate the feeling of someone right behind you.
Upward we toiled, trying not to stumble over the many stones and boulders. Views opening out all around, the threatened rain disappeared and sun started to come out. The wind disappeared for while, then it strengthened again, but on our backs now thankfully. Ben Macdui and Braeriach loomed up either side of us and we could just start to see Aviemore in the distance as we hit the infamous 'boulder field'.
I stopped at a gushing stream to refill my water carrier, probably had enough to get to end but knew I'd find nothing once we left the high section of the pass.
Crossed the boulder field fairly easily, it wasn't as bad as I'd expected, there were cairns to show the way and a very faint path in places. It wasn't easy by any stretch but I'd painted a far worse picture in my mind. Actually what came next I thought was far worse.
The wind picked up and it felt like it was shoving you from behind as you started to descend towards the forest. The path didn't get any easier, it steepened downhill, full of dry shale and boulders and the wind kept pushing you down too. I was really cautious on here, conscious of trying to stay upright - esp given my record for falling over!! It seemed to go on and on and on, the rocks gradually became tree roots and my language became worse as I kept catching my toe, but never quite fell. A fair few people passed me on here including three women I'd been leap-frogging with all the way round - grrr!
It was really hot now and as we dropped into the forest we lost the wind again . Nice pine needle carpet for running on now thankfully. I'd memorised the turnings where I thought I'd go wrong and there were a couple of arrows too, plus lots of support from families and random people out in the forest. So I really quite enjoyed this stretch, being able to run again properly too and reeled in a few people including one of the women who'd passed me.
All too soon onto the main road at Coylumbridge. Back into the head wind, sun beating down and a pavement by a busy road to run on. A bit of a come-down. Anyway, head down and back to knocking out 8mm again. Reeled in another woman in the last half a mile and then we were on Aviemore High St, weaving between Sunday shoppers, trying to cross the road and trying to work out which bit of the finish was the finish - oh, that'll be where the guy is leaping around pointing and shouting 'here, here' whilst pointing at the pavement!!! Time taken down, and then a nice cold bottle of water and a fantastic selection of free cake to choose from courtesy of the mountain café. 4 hours and 58 minutes so just about scraped in my 5 hour guestimate!
Sat around chatting for a little while before escaping to Fat Face to make some birthday treat purchases!!! Family found me in there.
I really enjoyed this race but I reckon I enjoyed my 30-miler from the other week more. The race is attended by most of the big Scottish run clubs and unless you are part of those clubs it can feel a little lonely. I did find some lovely people to chat to on the way but it had more of a 'heads down lets get on with it' feel that other stuff I've done. BTW I did have my head down to get on with it, but even so ...!
Nice report CC. I've walked part of the route and I must say that the scenery is fantastic.

UW's Collier battles back after leukemia treatment, knee injury
After battling leukemia then a severe knee injury, the University of Washington's Katie Collier is returning to form on the court, averaging 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game as a reserve center.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
NCAA formally closes Tosh Lupoi case; no penalties handed down NEW - 2/03, 11:28 AM
Morning links: Arizona's Brandon Ashley out for season NEW - 2/03, 04:08 AM
Katie Collier stepped onto the court at Alaska Airlines Arena for her first game as a college basketball player, and her mother excused herself to the concourse.
"I just lost it," Ann Collier said of being overwhelmed before Washington's exhibition matchup in October. The game was her youngest daughter's last step in recovering from a two-year battle to play basketball again.
Collier's playing career was first threatened in September 2011, when she was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia.Treatment included daily arsenic drip chemotherapy.
Then a star at Seattle Christian, Collier managed to resume playing in December, despite severe dehydration and exhaustion. Two weeks after her final treatment in April 2012, she even played in the McDonald's All-American game in Chicago.
But her playing career was threatened again in July 2012, when Collier tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligaments and the meniscus in her right knee. A 6-foot-3 center, Collier spent her true freshman season at UW rehabilitating the knee injury.
By October 2013, a bulky black brace was the only hint of her two-year struggle to play. Collier started and finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the exhibition win against Concordia.
"We didn't know if she'd live, and then her injury…so it's just emotional that she can even play," Ann Collier said.
For Ann and her husband, Mark, watching their daughter play again turned into a four-year adventure — well, five given that Collier was granted an additional season of eligibility due to the knee injury.
The couple committed to traveling to every Washington game through Collier's college career. Ann, who's a nurse, requests her days off a month in advance to coordinate with the basketball schedule.
This week the Colliers are headed to Los Angeles to watch UW (11-9, 3-5 Pac-12) play at UCLA (10-11, 4-5) on Friday and USC (14-7, 7-2) on Sunday. Collier averages 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 14.6 minutes as a reserve.
Although the adventure wasn't designed as a way to watch over Collier, the youngest of five children, her parents are immediately by her side if there's a concern. Collier felt flu-like symptoms in December and was alarmed because similar symptoms were the initial sign she had leukemia.
"The blood work was fine but it does trigger that fear," said Ann, who's also a cancer survivor. "And often we don't know how she's feeling because she doesn't complain."
Those calls are less frequent. Instead of rushed trips to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and being jarred from sleep by medical emergencies, now trips are planned to warm destinations like Los Angeles or Arizona, and the aroma of baked goods draws Mark from slumber at home.
Ann volunteered to provide the team's postgame treats the past two seasons. Staples like "puppy chow," trail mix, cookies or brownies are individually wrapped in Washington's purple and gold colors to distribute. The amount has grown from enough to feed the players to extras for ushers and others.
"Pretty soon it's going to be a whole stadium thing," Mark joked.
Collier rarely sees her parents during the season. During UW's two-game road stint to play the Oregon schools last week, her parents took time to rent quads for some fun at the coast. They did a little gambling during Washington's three-game tournament in Las Vegas and visited some historical sites between games in Texas.
This week the Colliers will visit their son Adam and his family and make a trip to Disneyland with their grandchildren. But the best part is watching their daughter play.
"She's really getting back to kind of where she left off three years ago," Mark said during halftime of UW's loss at Oregon on Sunday. Collier played 11 minutes. "She's our last one (child), so we want to support the coaches and team as much as we can and enjoy the experience."

It looks like an
abandoned home but the oversized carport gives it away. The empty building on Green River Road in
Cherokee County is one of only three homes for ambulances run by the county's
Emergency Medical Service.
There is no sign and by
the end of May there may no longer be any ambulance stationed here.
an email sent to all fire chiefs in Cherokee County, an official with the
county EMS tells the chiefs "Effective, midnight May 31st, EMS will reduce ambulances from 5 to 3." It
specifically mentions the ambulance on Green River Road as one of those to be
taken out of service.
That email goes on to
say that the EMS will ask the county council for more money in the form of a
tax increase.
"The tax increase needed is 4 mills, or
$16 a year on a $100,000 home," it says.
In Cherokee County, any
tax money sent to the EMS would be a major policy shift. Right now, taxpayers don't pay a dime because
of a decades old contract with the local hospital which is now owned by Novant
In the agreement, the
hospital is responsible for providing EMS service.
The question is, how
much service do they really have to provide and can they ask for money to give
the county what some council member say it needs.
This comes just 4
months after the hospital turned the EMS operations over to a local contractor
on January 1st.
The contractor is
operated by the owner of Ambustar ambulance service.
"You will see an
increase in some response times but we will be there," said Gaffney Fire
Chief Jamie Caggiano.
Caggiano says that even
with a reduction in ambulances there will be someone to provide emergency care
countywide. He does admit getting an
actual ambulance to the scene may take longer.
Still, he says there may be other options.
"We need to lay all the
cards on the table and look at different options, from volunteer rescue squads
to multiple companies providing EMS to possibly the fire service providing EMS.
There's a lot of different options out there."
Ambustar's owner said
he couldn't comment without the hospital's permission. The hospital refused to comment on the
specifics of the chief's email.
The hospital
vice-president, Brian Yates, is on the Cherokee County council meeting agenda
for Monday as a petitioner to discuss the ambulance service.
Council members reached
for comment said they felt the existing contract required the hospital to
continue service. They said they would
oppose any new taxes.
So do some of the fire
"I think it can be
solved other ways," Caggiano said.

Nooku Server, Joomla on steroids
03 December 2010 by Johan
Our partners, from the first participants to latest newcomers, each have played a role in the growth of Nooku. Not only have they contributed to build our project; they embody the philosophy of Joomla and Open Source: to choose collaboration over competition, to choose innovation over commerce, and to contribute to the benefit of everyone.
Over the past 3 years the combined efforts of our partners allowed us to build innovative Open Source technology: First Nooku Content, for multilingual management, and later Nooku Framework, a new brain for Joomla. Today, together with the Belgian Police we are taking a next step.
The Belgian Police and Joomla
Belgium being the small country it is counts no less then 190 police zones. Each of those 190 police zones has it's own website, running different (proprietary) systems. After the release of Joomla 1.5 in 2008 most zones took the plunge and migrated their sites to Joomla 1.5. At the moment 130 zones are using Joomla.
Until recently all of those installations where hosted separately on one dedicated server. To increase the usability, ease of maintenance and continued growth, the Belgian Police asked us to help them to build a multi-site platform. And off course we said yes !
Going multi-site with Joomla
Work on this platform started last April. People that attended the Joomladay 2010 in the Netherlands will remember the presentation I gave together with Marc Alen, Adjunct Secretaris, Vaste Commissie of the Local Belgium Police on the 5 year history behind the project. If you missed it and you understand Dutch you can watch the video here.
Two weeks ago I gave a presentation about the progress we made in the past 8 months at the Joomladay in Thailand and also did a small demo of the multi-site platform in action.
When we started this project we made one request : We asked the Belgian Police if we could open source the technology. The Belgian Police being big supporters of FOSS loved the idea !
At first we tried to approach the problem by implementing the multi-site through custom extensions. Very early on we figured out that this wasn't possible. Changes to the Joomla core code where necessary to be able to make Joomla 1.5 run in a multi-site context. The good news is that we have been able to do this with almost 99% backwards compatibility.
Just this week we did the final tests. The platform is done. Technology is ready and the migration of the 130 sites to a new server is underway. It is time to give back !
Nooku Server, a multi-site distro of Joomla 1.5
Following in the footsteps of our friends of the Molajo Project we are happy to announce Nooku Server, a multi-site distribution based on Joomla 1.5. Nooku Server will be 99% compatible with all Joomla 1.5 extensions. We are also including Nooku Framework to make it easy for developers to get started building Nooku powered extensions.
The name of the Nooku game is called innovation, so we have decided to increase the minimal requirements a bit. Nooku Server will require :
- PHP v5.2.6+ with MySQLi support
- MySQL 5.0.4+
- Mootools 1.2 with compatibility layer
That's all right ? Not by far. Together with our community contributors we are working on a new administrator template and a new site template. And finaly we are also adding caching and performance improvements that are geared towards running high traffic sites. With Nooku Server you get Joomla on steroids !
For now, the Nooku Server Space on our developer portal will only be accessible to contributors. Once we have an installable package ready we will open the space for everyone. Interested in helping out don't hesitate to send us a mail or post on our mailing list.
We will blog regulary on the progress we are making. So keep a close eye on twitter, facebook or subscribe to our RSS feed. Exciting times ahead !

How To Paint A Mural
You might have seen some beautiful works of art in old cathedrals and palaces around the world. These works of art would have been paintings on walls or even on ceilings and would have made you feel like you were standing in another world, that of bygone days. The paintings that are done on ceilings and walls are called murals. In modern times, murals are still popular and follow many styles and techniques. Some popular styles are fresco painting (painting on wet plaster of walls and ceilings), secco painting (painting on dry plaster and binding paint with glue) and mezzo-fresco painting (painting on partially dry plaster). While painting murals takes a lot of time and effort, it is by no means limited to the renowned artists. Murals can be painted even by a nonprofessional, who has basic knowledge of the art. If you wish to paint a mural, follow the tips below to know how to produce a work of art that will last for years to come.
Painting Wall Murals
- The first thing that you need to do is to plan the details of your mural-painting project. You will need to finalize on the location of the mural, the type of paint you plan to use, the quantity of paint and the method of application. Paints are sensitive to natural elements and therefore need to be protected. Plan how you are going to protect your project.
- Choose a design for the project and plan the color scheme that you will use. There are unique elements and requirements for different types of paintings, such as portraits and landscape scenes. You will need to analyze the requirements of the design.
- Try to create a scaled-down version of how the mural would look once you have finished with it and measure its key features. This will help you calculate the amount of paint that you will need for panting the mural on a larger scale.
- If you are going to paint on the upper part of a high wall or a ceiling, get a stepladder or rent an aerial lift.
- Prime the surface on which you are going to paint. Measure the location where the mural is going to be and mark off specific features. For example, if you are going to paint a horizon, you can mark off a dividing line between the sky and the land.
- Paint a base coat on the surface, with the color depending on what you are painting. For example, if you are painting the landscape of a summer scene, the sky would be pale blue and the foreground will be green.
- Once the base colors dry, you can start plotting the elements and objects that will be seen in the foreground. If you are a good artist, you can even sketch the entire lot of objects freehand.
- Start painting from the back of the picture to the front, since this will enable you to make the transition between colors smooth. Apart from this, you will also be able to correct mistakes much easily. Always ensure that the first color dries before you move on to the next one, unless you need to blend the two shades.
- You can now add in details to different objects. For example, if you are painting a tree, the trunk and large branches can be painted with a roller or sprayer and small branches and twigs can be defined with smaller brushes.
- Clean up any drips or runs with the appropriate paints and sharpen any blurred lines that need to be seen. Add shadows or highlights, if needed.
- Use a clear sealer over the entire project, once the paint is dry. This will ensure that your mural lasts for a long time.

17" powerbook: 4700 vs 5200 hardrives
Sep 27, 2003, 06:49 PM
Does anyone have an answer as to why apple offers 2 hard drives for their 17" powerbook? Any significant performance differences?
Sep 28, 2003, 05:06 PM
Yes, the 5200 RPM drives are faster and use more power. 7200RPM drives are beginning to emerge as well. Not surprizingly, they too are faster and use even more power.
Sep 28, 2003, 06:55 PM
don't get screwed. i was afraid of the <5200 rpm drives, but the 4xxx on my tibook has handled av and composite work perfectly for almost a year.
Sep 28, 2003, 07:19 PM
Yeah, i'm just like Trebblekicked - I had been using the drive in my Rev A 17" PB for about 6 months for video etc before I found out that it was only 4xxx (I thought that it was 5200) Everyone says that you need 7200 for video but it doesn't seem to necessarily be true.
BTW I have the drive partitioned into system and Video drives - this probably helps keep things cleaner.
Sep 28, 2003, 08:18 PM
you just have to decide which is more important, speed or battery life.
anyone know what the performence differences between the 2 drives are? and what the battery life difference is? if you know what those differences are, just pick the one with the least disadvantage. or if its a deskotp replacement, get the faster drive, if its for portability, get the slower one.
man i would love to buy a new 17" pb, but i think i will wait till G5... if for no other reason then it will take me that long to save up enough...
Sep 29, 2003, 01:16 AM
according to this article at barefeats (http://www.barefeats.com/hard34.html) the 5200RPM drives give a significant speed increase and use little more power. They also suggest possibly getting the minimum drive and replacing it yourself with a 7200RPM drive.
Sep 29, 2003, 11:48 AM
Thanks to all of you who replied to my post. I decided to go with the 5200. Battery life is important but I'm usually running on ac. One thing I thought might be a problem is heat. Any thoughts?

don't worry about heat in the 17", from what i've heard, it stays nice and cool unlike the 12"

"I Thought You Had the Tickets"
A friend called yesterday and recalled something that happened when he and a friend went to the 1967 Tennessee-Alabama game. Both were college students, and the trip had to have been anxiously awaited.
Turns out one of them had a late class that Friday, and the duo couldn't leave Knoxville until later that afternoon.
They spent Friday night in Chattanooga and headed out for Birmingham early Saturday morning. They hit the road and began the trek down I-59 and U.S. 11 toward the "Football Capital of the South." The means of transport was a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda.
About 10 miles down the road, right when there was discussion about breakfast, one of them had a thought, and an important one at that.
"Where are the tickets?" he said.
"I thought you had the tickets," the other replied.
There was a quick turnaround, and it was back to the hotel.
After some explanations to the front desk, they went back to the room, and there they were.
Right there next to the television.
Two Tennessee-Alabama tickets, ready for the taking.
That couldn't happen, you say?
It happens more often than you think.
Of such moments are memories made.

Albany- The President of the Southern Baptist Convention is in Albany to encourage Baptists to attend the group's annual meeting next month.
Dr. Bobby Welch has visited every state twice since his election last June. He wants Southern Baptists to take their message outside the church. Wednesday, he spoke with politicians in Alabama and says religion and politics can work hand in hand.
"There is room for politics and faith to run along the same road together. Politics shouldn't overpower the religious beliefs of somebody nor the other way around. But we all have got to maintain the right to have a part in the community we live in," said Dr. Bobby Welch, Southern Baptist Convention President.
Welch hopes the upcoming convention in Nashville will galvanize Baptist churches to work toward baptizing a million people in the next year. He'll meet with a local pastors group on Thursday.

Notre Dame is moving all of its sports except football and hockey to the ACC. It is another big blow to the Big East, and it will get the Irish a bowl tie-in with a league that will have a contractual big in the coming BCS successor system. It won't have access to that Orange Bowl bid for the champion, but it will be associated with a league that has an auto-bid to the system. That's important for prestige. And here I thought we were going to get our first year since 2009 without any major conference realignment. Notably, the release says that the ACC voted to increase the conference exit fee to over $50 million.
After the news broke yesterday that Pitt and Syracuse applied to join the ACC, we get news this morning that the ACC presidents have made it official. This might be the catalyst to get everyone else moving, as the SEC and Pac-12 have been taking pains not to look like aggressors. Neither wanted to take the first shot, so John Swofford did it for them.
The New York Times is reporting that Pitt and Syracuse "are engaged in talks about joining the Atlantic Coast Conference". Syracuse, if you remember, was on the wish list the last time the ACC expanded, though it obviously didn't end up making it in. The conference and the two schools issued standard no comments. No other information is out there, so it's unknown whether the ACC is looking to be a 14-team league like the SEC (A&M plus one) and Pac-12 (plus the Oklahoma schools) are supposedly on the way to becoming or if this is some sort of preliminary stage for accepting Texas and Texas Tech later. There also is the possibility the conference is worried about losing one or more schools to the SEC, but again, no other information is out there yet. UPDATE CBS's Brett McMurphy is reporting that a high ranking ACC official told him that Pitt and Syracuse have officially submitted applications to join the league. Also, he was told the conference's presidents unanimously agreed to raise the league's exit fee to $20 million at a meeting in Greensboro, NC last week.
Yes, you're reading that correctly. A little light fare for a Friday afternoon. I can only imagine Mike Slive
laughing hysterically calling all the teams to make sure they're still committed to the league. (HT: Gobbler Country)
Supposedly this is pretty solid as far as expansion rumors go: the Pac-10 will seriously consider inviting Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado into the fold this weekend. Supposedly Fox would then organize a Pac-16 Network in the same way it did for the Big Ten. Presumably if this happened, the Big Ten would finally get around to inviting Nebraska and/or Missouri and who knows which Big East teams. Apparently the only hangup is A&M, which reportedly is more interested in the going to the SEC should the Big 12 die. The SEC would then have to invite at least one ACC team to bring on the Aggies (because 13-team conferences don't work). We just finished the SEC meetings and no one seemed interested in expansion. Should these dominoes fall, I wonder if the conference would feel the need to go ahead with it anyway. I personally still say no: let the other guys play with thermite first and then decide later. It's not like even if the ACC added four Big East/CUSA teams the SEC couldn't take whoever it wanted. UPDATE 6:37 PM 1. The ADs of Texas A&M and Oklahoma don't sound interested in killing the Big 12 preemptively. A&M guy specifically says he doesn't want to go to the Pac-10. 2. The 12 SEC presidents will discuss expansion tomorrow, but don't plan to be the first mover in the expansion game. UPDATE 2, 6:45 PM As of right now, this link will get you the whole article sans pay wall. UPDATE 3 7:10 PM Slive speaks. He won't comment on the report, but maintains that the SEC is looking at the matter of expansion actively. Key quote: the current TV deals make the SEC the "most widely distributed conference in the country. … We don't need to get larger for the purpose of distribution." So there you go, straight from the boss's mouth. You don't have to consider TV markets when talking SEC expansion. UPDATE 4 9:00 PM Where there's smoke... The Colorado AD says that he and other school officials believes that six Big 12 schools will get Pac-10 invites as early as this weekend. He has not talked to Pac-10 officials, and Pac-10 commish Larry Scott has denied the report. This to me sounds like either A) someone told this guy about the Rivals report and he's repeating that, or B) he's talked to the the same sources that led to the Rivals report. It's significant that a Big 12 AD is giving credence to this rumor in some respect, but this is far from confirmation if you ask me.
Doc Saturday hit this one on the head, analyzing some numbers that the MWC's lobbyist produced. Essentially, the WAC and MWC champs that have made BCS bowls have delivered higher TV ratings and larger in-person attendance than the Big East and ACC champs over the 2007-10 BCS games. The problem then is that the Big East and ACC get more money for it than the conferences that are better delivering ratings and ticket sales. I have to say, this is one that's always got me. Why is it that those who want to revoke the Big East's BCS auto-bid never talk about the ACC as well? The Big East (6-6 in BCS games) actually wins these games with regularity (ACC: 2-10), and bowl ratings in recent years have confirmed that FSU and Miami are the only ACC teams the nation as a whole cares about. When either of them win the conference, they'll get a bid. No need to force Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl on the rest of us to ensure that those two get their completely inevitable piece of the pie.

Judges and prize-winners (left to right) judge Jasmine Chin, illustrator; George Booth-Cole (YLA runner-up); judge Roxana Halls, artist; judge Agatha Zielinska-Hyrn, gallery-owner; Lotte Kilraine (YLA First Prize)
YOUNG artists got a brush with fame at a series of awards handed out at Sydenham School.
Winners at the Young London Artist Awards were picked from a list of 82 teenage painters, sculptors and photographers from Sydenham and Forest Hill combined sixth form.
Overall winner Lottie Kilraine, 17, bagged £100 for her documentary about two dancers from Trinity Laban Centre in Deptford.
She said: "This was my first attempt at a documentary.
"I am hoping to have a career in film-making and this was an experiment.
"I wanted to show how much goes into their performances which might otherwise appear quite effortless and ephemeral - when in fact the opposite is true."
George Booth-Cole, 17, was runner-up for his skateboard documentary, including footage of the Barbican Centre.
Emily Fidell, 18, received the people's choice award while 17-year-old Leon Wood's lopped film has been selected for a possible screening at Forest Hill gallery Doopo Doopo.

The sys-r/f are thermal probes for (f)ront and (r)ear of the case. You can place one on the front and compare the temps to the back of your case. The HDD connector was something that I didn't even worry about when hooking up the thing. It will tell you when the HDD is spinning but other than that, it serves no other purpose. I hope this helps you but if it hasn't let me know and I will try to explain it better.

Dear Governor-elect McCrory,
Much has been made of the avalanche of job postings last week coming out of your transition team. A treasure trove indeed. But with all due respect, would you please explain why you're filling any of those positions?
Executive chef? Are you kiddin' me? Chief Deputy III? What the hell is that? Attorney? Really?
It's time to put up or shut up, sir. Cut spending and make state government smaller by NOT filling a single one of these advertised positions. Not now. Not ever. Because according to your rhetoric, these jobs are costing We the People millions of dollars and producing nothing of value. They are, after all, jobs that will be filled with public-sector slackers.
If you had a shred of integrity, you'd cancel every one of these postings and make do with less. You'd fix your own goddamn meals, just like millions of other North Carolinians do.
