Benefits of Using a Foam Roller
For athletes who know the benefits of a good massage, the roller offers a more convenient, less expensive, and very effective tool to help relieve muscle tightness, aches and pains, and improving range of motion, flexibility and recovery from exercise.
Regularly using a foam roller for self-massage and myofascial release is helpful for anyone who works out regularly, plays sports, or has a history of sports injury, scar tissue, or adhesions. It's also a simple way to relax and incorporate a bit of post-exercise rest and recovery into your training schedule.
The short list of benefits of using a foam roller include:
- Increases blood flow to the soft tissues
- Provides a good general muscle massage
- Provides targeted, trigger point massage
- Helps increase range of motion
- Relieves soreness and pains
- Helps with muscle balance and body alignment
- Helps speed post-exercise recovery
- Even if you don't exercise intensely, foam rolling eases aches, pains and tension caused by sitting at a computer all day.
Note: Not all muscle aches, pains and injuries can be helped by foam rolling. Check with your doctor before using a foam roller, especially if you have any health conditions such as heart disease, peripheral artery disease (PAD), problems with circulation or fibromyalgia.
The Benefits of Thera-Roll Textured Therapy Foam Roller
The manufacturers recommend the blue (soft) Thera-Roll for beginners, or those recovering from injury because it offers a gentle release. The purple (firm) is recommended for a deeper release focused on more active and fit individuals. And the grey (hard) Thera-Roll is designed for competitive athletes who require a more aggressive release from sore and fatigued muscles.
The smaller sized roller allows easy manipulation for targeting a specific body part, such as the neck, pecs and hip flexors, which are sometimes difficult to get to with a long standard foam roller. One of my favorite aspects of this foam roller is that the ribbed surface makes for a good foot massage, and is a helpful tool for treating plantar fasciitis. For the price, it's a perfect do-it-all foam roller.
Tips for getting the most out of the Thera-Roll
- Focus on the tight or sore spots where it's clear you need to increase range of motion.
- Roll the full length of a muscle
- Roll each muscle a 2-3 times.
- Roll in a slow, steady pace; don't rush through it.
- Stop and hold pressure on trigger points (the sore spots) until the pain subsides.
- Avoid rolling over joints and bony prominences, such as the knee and the hip.
- Use the roller several times a week.
Thera-Roll - Does What It Should at a Reasonable Price
This roller lives up to the claim that it can effectively releases the following muscles: quadriceps, hamstrings, rhomboids, rotator cuff, glutes, piriformis, IT band, Achilles tendon, calf, feet and neck. However, as with any foam roller, it will hurt while you are working on the tightest areas. If you are extremely tight, go slow with this roller. The ridges, while effective, could be a bit too much for new users or those with extreme tightness.
Because it comes in various lengths and firmness levels, it may be a tough choice to decide which one is best for you, and will cover all your needs both now and in the future. If you are in doubt, the mid-length and the mid-firmness Thera-Roll is probably a good starting point.
The price is mid-range for a foam roller. The small length is a great deal at about $18. The large retails for about $55. While you can get a basic foam roller for under $10, I think the extra cost for a firm, textured surface is a good value.
As with every fitness product, it's helpful to try before you buy when possible. Overall, I like this roller a lot, and consider it a good product for the price.

Sun-Sentinel writers are revising their season predictions over the bye week here.
What is your revised season prediction and did it change?
I know that some teams that seemed like easy wins are turning out to be challenging opponents.
Here's mine:
Currently 3-3
Upcoming Schedule:
@NYJ = W (won't be easy...but we need payback...bigtime)
@Indy = W (don't take them lightly and play to the end of the game, oh and run the ball ALOT)
Tenn at Home = W (This is a 2-4 team that plays well at times. Make the most of homefield)
@Buffalo = W (should win, but doesn't automatically mean WILL win)
Seattle at Home = W (at home is better than in their stadium, STOP the RUN...Lynch is a Beast)
Pats at Home = L (now or never...gotta step up and win this one...I feel confident that if behind, we can score to win...just get a little closer for the game winning FG...for sake of argument, I say L)
@ SF = L (I think we can win this one. Alex Smith looks vulnerable, but I'll put this down as a loss)
Jacksonville at Home = W (Go Big AND Go Home)
Buffalo at Home = W (gotta win the winnable ones...but they are improving)
@ Pats = L (tough to play in Foxboro...tough to even avoid the sweep against Brady)
Homeristic 7-3 for a final record of 10-6

First of all, I would like to say that I am rather enjoying my 1st off season on AP. This what the NFL is all about, opinions, wish lists, critiques of free agents etc.... Everyone has opinion about who this team needs to sign and re sign to make this team more viable for the future. We all get to play Monday morning GM for a few weeks. And then the regular season happens and we realize that just maybe that high price free agent we wanted ,probably wasn't the best thing for this team as we originally thought. And we hope no one was paying attention when we called Scott Pioli a jack ass for not signing said players , because we usually look like the jack ass in the end.
Of course the number one guy on everyone's wish list is that one guy who played for that one city that has that one NASCAR race at the end of the year. His name escapes me, but yeah, that guy. He wears number 18 boasts a 7 - 1 record against our beloved Chiefs. What was his name oh ya
via ts2.mm.bing.
Peyton Manning
Manning has become the most wanted man in KC since Charles ''pretty boy Floyd. Most of us have come to the conclusion that Matt Cassel is NOT the answer this team needs at QB. And what better replacement to have than a future HOF QB ending his career on top with a championship trophy in hand. Many fans are convinced that Manning is the missing link between KC and that ever elusive Lomabrdi trophy that has escaped this teams grasp for the better part of 40 years. Many people have made lists in their heads as too why it makes perfect sense for Manning too want to come here. And there are many compelling reasons as to why KC would be very attractive for Manning
KC finished with a 7 -9 record this past season. But, there are several asteriks by that record. This team had too overcome a tough schedule , major injuries, incompetent coaching by Todd Haley. All things considered , that record might be the most impressive 7-9 mark of recent memory. Manning has to look at this team and see real resiliency ...right? Then there is the talent on the roster. On offense, KC has an elite RB ,three top receivers and an above average LT. This team defensively, are a NT away from being special. Manning has too be impressed with the talent here ....right? And what about the city itself? KC is very much like Indianapolis in terms of population and midwest charm. He wouldn't have to face a media circus like he would in NY,SF, Miami. That has to appeal to a good ol country boy like Manning....right? There is also this issue of money. KC could match any financial offer that any team could throw at Peyton and still sign a couple more free agents. The deep pockets of Clark Hunt must appeal to Mr . Manning...right? Well , apparently not
Manning coming here makes a ton of sense on so many levels. But alas, the golden boy won't give KC the time of day, not even so much as a returned phone call. What's the problem? What is wrong with this city, this franchise, this team? Fans are saying ''I''( insert your name here,), made up my mind that Manning was coming here. ''I ''have went through all the reasons in my head as to why it makes sense. '' I '' had visions of Manning winning a championship with this team. And now because ''I'' didn't get what I want, now someone must pay( I am as guilty as anyone about this). And that person facing the brunt of the fans ire is..........
Anyone who has read my posts over the subsequent months , realizes that I am not a Scott Pioli fan. I have blasted this guy time and time and time again on here. But, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this issue. He extended the olive branch to the Manning camp and Manning shot him down. That is period cut and dry as Mike Ditka would say. I'm not sure what people want this guy to do. Is he suppose to abduct him in the dead of night and water board him until he signs a deal? Tell you the truth, I have seen some growth with Pioli that gives me some hope. The mere fact he pursued Peyton in the first place, tells me he is admitting we need an upgrade over Matt Cassel. And the 1st step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. He has also shown me that he can be aggressive and out bid people as the Stanford Rout signing proves
There is also this issue of free agency this year. People are down on Pioli for not signing some of these high price free agents. I'll even defend him on that ( wow what is wrong with me tonight) Who was he supposed to sign?
Vincent Jackson- we don't need another WR
John Carlson- 5 million per year is a lot for a fragile TE. We already have one of those on the roster
Carl Nix- I would love to have him on this team. But not for 31 million guaranteed. He is 28 and this is the deepest guard draft class I have seen in years. OH and Nix was a 5th round pick
Paul Sioli- never wanted to leave Miami in the first place
Brandon Carr- sorry , he isn't worth 10 million per year
Eric Winston- coming here today
Kevin Boss- coming here today
Peyton Hillis - signed
Mike Tolbert- still a real possibility
They could have spent 52 million on Pierre Garcon and Josh Williams like Washington did!!!!
When you look at who else was available, they were either overpaid or didn't fill a need. I'm not going to crucify the man for not overspending.I might take that back if we don't have some new faces by Monday(be that as it may). As far as Manning goes, hey look, I have been telling you guys for months that he wasn't coming here. But, rejection hurts, it never feels good. And we all have been rejected at some time or another. whether it was for a job , a person we wanted to have a relationship with, a loan...whatever the case may be. We all end up asking ourselves what is wrong with us. I have been against Manning coming here since day one. But even I feel some rejection in this deal. I thought Manning would at least give this team a listen before he moved on. However, the fact he blew this team off in favor of going to the Broncos, talk about a cold drink to the face...ouch.
I think when he signs somewhere ,it is going to be all about the guaranteed money.So don't make scapegoats and don't take it personally. Don't let Peyton's aww shucks, southern bumpkin, humble pie routine fool you. This guy is as shrewd and as smart of a business man as it gets. The fact he hasn't thrown for at team , should be a warning call for this team and others. I think this could turn into a disaster for whoever signs him. Why ? I am so glad you asked. I have said this for months , but I don't mind going over it again
The Elephant in the room
You can't talk about Manning without first talking about his neck . Afterall, it is why he is a free agent in the first place. Manning neck is no longer in danger of further injury. It is the damage he already has that is what is cause for concern. His nerve damage might be permanent or it might not. He may regain all the strength in his shoulder or he might not. Nerve damage is a very tricky and serious thing, much more so than a broken bone or a torn ligament. How much further he progresses is pure speculation . Not even his doctors know for sure. And what kind of toll will those surgeries have on neck dexterity and flexibility? A QB has to be able to snap his head from side to side quickly. I believe he had a vertabrate fused, so it is going to be more difficult for him to go through his progressions. His medical issues is a huge issue but it isn't his only issue
He's getting old folks
Even in the best circumstances , you are getting a QB on the downside of his career. His efficiency ratings have fallen off a cliff. You might be able to get 2 maybe 3 years out of the guy tops. And something else to remember, he hasn't thrown a pass in a game in over a year. How long is it going to take before he is in game shape? At least half of next year will consist of him shaking off the rust , getting acclimated to a new system, etc. So now you have more time cut off on his already borrowed time. There have only been 4 Super Bowls won by a QB 36 years or older
Jim Plunkett 36
Johnny Unitus 37
John Elway 37
John Elway 38
You could argue that those names are some of the greatest QB's of all time . And since Manning is a Hall of Famer, there is no reason he couldn't be on that list as well. Good point, however, it brings us to another issue
Manning's Playoff Record
Peyton has a less than amazing record in the post season. In fact ,he has had more neck operations (4) than playoff wins(2) in the past 4 years. He has a 9-10 playoff record for his career. Take away his Super bowl year in 06 and he is 5-10 in the post season. Speaking of that Super Bowl run , it wasn't all that I can assure you. The team won in spite , yes I said IN SPITE of Manning.
in the 1st round he played the Chiefs that needed 6,895 things to happen in order for them to make the playoffs. He threw 3 picks at home against an average KC defense
The next week he played the Ravens. He completed 50% of his passes ,no TD's ,2 int's as Adam Vinateri kicked 5 fg's to win the game
in the AFC championship game , he did enough to win the game. 57% comp, 1 TD , 1 Int ,79 QBR. But if Asante Samuel doesn't drop that INT, we are talking about manning not winning the big 1
In the Super Bowl he played a very average Chicago Bears team. If the Bears don't turn the ball over 5 times, they win that game. Manning played average.
Peyton had the worst post season of any QB to win a championship
Manning isn't the same outdoors
Manning's numbers decline when forced to play out doors. That is kind of a big deal when you play in KC. He wins an impressive 73 % of his games in doors. But his record outside is 60%. That is slightly above average
Manning would add much needed excitement to this city. Fathers would take their kids to see Manning, just as their fathers took them to see Joe Montana play. it would be a nice story to be sure. I just don't think it is a story that will win a championship.
So what is the next course of action? Pioli '' wants'' competition for Cassel. But the few QB's left are dropping like flys. Where is this competition going to come from? I have a pretty good idea who and where
via uvtblog.com
''Oh god no''. ''Saints you have lost your freaking mind'' Have I? Can anyone out there honestly tell me Brady Quinn got a fair chance? If you think he did, maybe this will change your mind . We will call it......
The Brady Quinn timeline
April 28 2007 :
Brady Quinn is selected with the 22nd pick in the 2007 draft. Quinn was regarded has one of the top players available in that class. Scouts praised his work ethic , leadership, size and athleticism . However, it was predicted that if Detroit didn't select him with the 2nd pick he would free fall. And that he did , falling all the way to his hometown Browns. His homecoming would meet with criticism however. Former and fellow Notre Dame QB Joe Theisman would criticize Quinn for chewing gum and having long hair( really Joe , just shut up) Brady would later apologize to fans even though he had nothing to apologize for
Quinn ends a hold out with the browns and signs his rookie contract. Despite out playing Derrick Anderson in the pre season, Head Coach Romeo Crennel names Anderson as the starter.
Quinn sees his only action in a blow out win vs the 49ers. Derrick Anderson and the Browns have a Cinderrella season and Anderson is named the starter for the 08 season
Quinn finally makes his 1st start of his career against Denver. Despite losing the game , Quinn goes pass for pass with future pro bowler Jay Cutler. He completes 65% of his passes with 2 TD's and no int's with a 104 QBR
Quinn makes his second start against the Bills. Despite hurting his finger in the 1st quarter , he leads his team to a 29-27 victory
After struggling in the first half against Houston, it is learned that Quinn played 2 games with a broken finger that would require season ending surgery. Quinn showed heart and toughness that was enough for Crennel to name him the starter for the 09 season.
This never came fruition as Crennel was fired a day after the season finale.
Having apparently not been satisfied with 1 apple from the Bellechick tree, Cleveland decides to take another bite with recently fired Jets coach Eric Mangeni. This is met with massive backlash from fans and media members alike. S.I columnist Joe Posanski called it ''the worst hire in 25 years''. Mangeni had a bad reputation for alienating players and fans. And his conservative offense was criticized by Brett Favre. Not an ideal coach for a young inexperienced QB. This is Quinns second coach in 3 years
A team in desperate need of play makers decides to trade one of the few they have on the roster. Kellen Winslow was an all pro TE at the time. Yet, Mangini decides to trade him to the Bucs for a 2nd round pick. It was said Winslow was traded because his ''attitude wasn't right'' (hmmm sound familiar?)
The browns trade the number 5 slot to the Jets for the Jets 17th pick and 3 players(all jags) . Despite having no speed on offense, the Browns pass on Hakeem Nicks, Percy Harvin, Jeremy Macklin and decide to trade back and take center Alex Mack. To be fair , Mack has been one of the better young centers in the league. In the second round the Browns take 2 possession receivers and ignore the desperate need for speed on the outside
After refusing to name a starter for the regular season , Mangeni finally names Brady Quinn as the starter. Many in the media blasted Mangeni for failing to name a starter . Many wondered how either QB could establish leadership and consistency by only taking half the snaps in practice. It seemed that Quinn was doomed from the start of the Mangeni era.
Despite only taking full snaps with the 1st team for 2 days. And despite being massively out gunned, Quinn puts up a decent game in a losing effort against MN Quinn completed 60% of his passes for 205 yards and 1TD. Again , not bad for a guy that had 1 FULL PRACTICE WITH THE 1st TEAM!!!!
Despite only starting 7 quarters and completing 60% of his passes , Quinn is pulled for Derrick Anderson. Later controversy would ensue when it was made public that Quinn had a 10 million dollar esculator clause if he played 70% of the snaps. Mangeni denied knowing about the clause. Many in the Cleveland media blamed Mangeni for playing politics instead of looking out for the teams needs
Mangeni again raises eyebrows by trading the only WR capable of making plays downfield. Braylon Edwards was traded to the Jets
After the worst offense in the NFL, Anderson is benched for Quinn . Quinn has a bad game against Baltimore. However, he lights it up in an epic shoot out against Matt Stafford and the Lions. Quinn throws for 304 yards and 4 td's. ( I am telling you guys the kid has real talent)
After a tough loss against Cincinati, Quinn again goes pass for pass with another star QB. Despite being out matched by Phillip Rivers receiving core, Quinn throws for 271 yards and 3 TD's in a close loss to San Diego. Quinn proves yet again he has talent despite having no playmakers
In a game with 28 mile an hour winds ,Brady Quinn once again prove his moxy by getting the Browns in FG range to win against the Steelers
Quinn pulls out a win vs KC breaking his foot in the process
Quinn out performed Derrick Anderson and it wasn't even close
comp %
Anderson 44.5
Quinn 53.5
Td ;Anderson 3 Quinn 8
Int % Anderson5.5 Quinn 2.7
You get the idea. And Quinn's ''weapons'' hah laughable
Mohamed Massoqui 34 rec Bust at WR
Jerome Henderson 34 rec Backup RB
Mike Furry 23 out of the NFL was a former safety
Josh Cribbs 20 KR
Chansi Stucki 19 slot receiver
Even Moore 12 out of the NFL
There isn't a QB in the world that could have won with that cast of out casts. The fact He had some good games is a miracle. This kid HAS REAL TALENT!
Quinn is traded to Denver. This is his 3rd head coach in 4 years
Broncos draft Tim Tebow
Josh McDaniels is fired. Quinn now is on his 4th coach in 5 years.
Despite beating out Tim Tebow as the 2nd QB, Tebow makes his first start,as John Fox and John Elway cave into fan pressure
You can't establish leadership and consistency in 12 starts. Even Peyton Manning needs help. i don't make excuses for guys , but that is rediculous . It is unfair to label this kid a bust given the incompetence around him. I would love to give Quinn another chance, a real chance, a fair chance. And given his tyes to Crennel and Daboll , don't be surprised if he is the QB competition Pioli has referred to. It was also rumored that Pioli wanted to trade for Quinn during the 09 season

Changes could be coming to people who qualify for food stamps in the Tri-State area, and people have mixed feelings about it.
Ohio plans to limit food stamps for 130,000 adults, according to the Associated Press. The AP reports that the state plans to require people who receive food stamps to spend at least 20 hours a week working, training for a job, or volunteering.
It won't apply to people with children or who live in one of the 16 high-unemployment counties.
We asked people in West Virginia if they'd support a similar measure here.
"I agree, because some people who are on drugs are using it for the wrong doings, and I think you should show some initiative by working," said Shawn Myers.
David Harris said he also supports the measure, as long as it does not impact children. He said kids are the ones who hurt when parents lose their state benefits. However, when it comes to drug testing, Harris thinks it shouldn't be a clear-cut decision.
"If you've got crack cocaine, heroin, people shooting up dope and all of that, then take their food stamps. But, if you're talking about marijuana, put them in treatment, a 30-day treatment," he said.
Gene Ranson is a retired police officer who said he has seen his fair share of food stamp fraud. He said people who abuse the system take away from those who truly need the help.
"There are people out there who legitimately need assistance; a hand out and a help up," he said.
Healthy food has also been a food stamp stipulation lawmakers have considered in the past. Ranson said he would be in favor of a ban on junk food.
"They should be able to buy healthy food, not maybe go in and buy a T-bone steak," he said.
No word yet if similar changes will come to West Virginia. The legislative session starts in January.
Close to two million Ohioans receive food stamps. People who fail to meet the new requirements will lose their benefits on January 1, according to the AP.
The exempt counties are Adams, Brown, Clinton, Coshocton, Highland, Huron, Jefferson, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingun, Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pike, and Scioto.

"The Great Gatsby"
Now it looks like Leo has caught the finance bug. Deadline is reporting that DiCaprio will produce an adaptation of Wall Street thriller novel Graveland by Alan Glynn.
Here's Deadline's synopsis:
The novel is a murder mystery that begins with the discovery of a dead Wall Street investment banker, who was shot while jogging in Central Park. Later that day, a top hedge-fund managers is gunned down outside a restaurant. A female investigative journalist is on the trail as bodies pile up and she tries to figure out if terrorists are killing the financial industry's best and brightest, or if someone is holding accountable those who engaged in Wall Street corruption.
Sounds pretty gripping.


text: Check out the police blotter for broncos on http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/turd-watch/police-blotter McDaniel's has 1 incident on his roster, other then Brandon. Not bad. Not bad at all. I'm willing to watch the season play out. I think he has made a pretty big impact in the culture. The problem is not in the coaching its the way that Bowlen has tried to make the head coach the "dictator". Same prob we experienced under Shanny. He needs checks and balances in drafting. I fear he is a compulsive double down gambler. I don't hate that in a coach as much as i resent it when drafting.

Photography Troubleshooting:How to Photograph FoodMany of us lament about a lack of subjects to Photograph - and almost just as many of us create something on a daily basis that with a bit of presentation, can look like a masterpiece. Food is one of the most accessible Photographic subjects and if you've no idea where to start, hopefully this article will give you a few pointers. Firstly, you don't need an expensive D-SLR in order to capture some of the food masterpieces you see around.By PaSt1978The above was taken with a Sony Cybershot which is a good quality point and shoot camera. As you can see, the focus is crisp, the quality is good and the lighting is adequate. It works well - and it's easy enough to achieve whether you have a D-SLR or something smaller.

Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing AutumnFor many Photographers, Autumn is now officially here and is one of the most exciting seasons to capture in terms of colour, change and vistas. Early morning mist, late afternoon sun, orange, red and golden hues - Autumn has a lot to offer in many countries. If you're like me, Autumn often arrives all at once and it can be tricky to know how to make the best of the season before it's over. A couple of days of high winds and rain can ruin the best Autumnal captures by ripping the leaves down before you've even got the chance to snap - so it's great to be prepared for the season.Leading lines are particularly useful. Yet so many people quote ' Look for leading lines...' or 'You've captured the leading lines here perfectly' and really do we even know properly what they are? The purpose of a leading line is to draw a viewers eye into the photograph and then on a journey - through it. Think of it as a visual narrative. They can be intentional and ind
It's All About Presentation (Mostly)As more and more people start taking pictures of their nether regions on their iphones or posing myspace style in front of their HTC's - the competitive world of getting a Daily Deviation gets just that much harder... I kid. But... daily, I am bombarded with awesome suggestions (which I love) and I'm not complaining about. But there has to be a criteria of sorts, that sets an image above the rest. Here are a few things I look for that you might not have noticed before... The first thing I look at when I stumble across an image or view a suggestion from somebody, is how the artist has presented their work to the deviantART Community. Title Your image isn't everything. Not anymore. In the past I have given Daily Deviations to pieces with titles that are a combination of random letters and numbers, or that are very obviously still the source file title - or that tends to be just a keyboard mash-up. Everyday CVs are sent many many notes suggesting pieces o
Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing BabiesOkay so one of the biggest subjects within portraiture photography are infants and children! Children and in particular newborn babies bring out the photographer in all of us. So whether or not you're looking to go pro and snap babies professionally or whether you just want to brush up on some tips for your own family or friends, this could be the article for you! I always thought that when I got my first baby shoot booked, it would just be a case of snapping them on the carpet or wrapped up in a blanket. I had no idea how creative I could really get - and how simply it would be to do that.Until a few weeks ago, I had never photographed a baby in my life, let alone had to pose and arrange one in cute positions with lots of fluffy toys surrounding it. I had also never used a lighting kit before, but that's another story. Anyway, I found it incredibly easy once I knew what i needed, to set up for the shoot and since then I haven't looked back. Whether yo
Photography Troubleshooting: Understanding ISOHeader created by TouchedDTheGalleryOfEve asked recently about SLR settings and in particular, a troubleshooting article focusing on ISO. So here it is! Hopefully this article will help you to understand ISO better, whether a beginner or not. What Is ISO? ISO within traditional photography, was an indication of how sensitive a film was to light. Within digital photography it measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. Basically, the lower the number then the less your camera is sensitive to light. Higher ISO numbers are generally used in dark situations to get faster shutter speeds but this can often mean that your shots are noisier. ISO 100 is the most widely used and gives crisp shots with little to no grain. Shooting in automatic means that the camera will select the appropriate ISO for the situations that you are facing, and work out the rest for you to reduce noise as much possible. But it's when you start getting more technical and
Photography Troubleshooting: Snap to ProThis week we bring you another issue of Troubleshooting for Photographers, to hopefully give you some tips and explanations behind how to make your Photography look that little bit more professional. Aeirmid noted that while there are a lot of folks in the photomanipulation community who enjoy taking photographs, there is also a great desire for people to learn a bit more about how to make them look more professional.Firstly combining the elements of many of the articles that have already been written in this series (see the bottom of this article for links) will assist anybody in gearing their photographs up to look more professional. However IsacGoulart summed it up quite neatly with this rather epic quote... "Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph." Getting your work up to some sort of standard is always tricky. Especially if you are setting the standar
Photography Troubleshooting: The Watermark FAQ"How do I protect my photography and art in general?"~Eitvys200 "As Eitvys200 pointed out, at least 1 journal per month makes it to the top of the list and is about stealing art. Sometimes this is something small such as posting a piece to facebook, other times you see hoards of pieces on a website selling wallpapers or something similar. Regardless of how it happens, or where, it can hurt just as much to see your hard work disregarded and especially someone else profiting or taking credit.Protecting work is a huge deal for some people, and not for others. It depends entirely on your outlook - how you view your work and indeed whether or not there needs to be some constrictions on it due to the content being a child, or family member. But how do we protect our work properly from art theft and wrongful use? The simple answer is you can't provide for every eventuality. Even if you upload your work to a website where right click -> copy is disabled,
Photography Troubleshooting: Winter WildlifeFor many parts of the world, Winter provides a beautiful backdrop for some of the best landscape and water scape Photography out there. Snowy hills, Frosty trees and more help to convert a world of vibrant Summer or Autumn into subdued yet awe-inspiring Winter. But what about the wildlife? Extreme weather conditions can make it more challenging to get out and about with the camera, but can also give you more opportunity to capture those elusive animals.When I first started investigating Winter Wildlife Photography I thought that I would have to aim for things like Foxes, Deer and other wild and sometimes elusive animals. But actually, wildlife Photography and in particular in the Winter - can start right in the back garden.Birds in particular get hungrier and needier during Winter months in England. I'm sure this is true for many parts of the world too. Depending on the kinds that frequent your garden, you could encourage them to linger pretty quickly or it might

What is Traditional Darkroom?What is Traditional Darkroom?Traditional Darkroom is where it all began. It started in a world where the word 'photography' didn't yet exist and the art of creating images of reality with light and chemicals sat somewhere between science and magic. Did you know that the mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid describe pinhole cameras in the 4th and 5th centuries?In the early 1800s, artist/inventors like Louis Dageurre and Henry Fox Talbot (among others) experimented with ways of fixing images using chemicals, including silver compounds, following exposures on materials like glass and metal, lasting from several minutes to several hours. By 1840, Talbot was creating negative images using the calotype process and John Herschel had invented the cyanotype process (where the term 'blueprint' comes from) and created the first glass negative in 1839.In the middle part of the 1800s, the wet plate collodion process be

PE Daily Deviations- Presentation of your workHello all! Well we've had a fascinating week so far; a week which hopefully has provided some insight not only to the process of DD selection but helped you understand what we look for in DDs as CVs. As we draw to the end of this week, I bring you an article which will whet your Saturday with thoughts that don't just apply to the DD feature, but something which should be a consideration to everything you submit to dA. I am talking about deviation presentation. Why is Presentation important?Art isn't always about just being "creative". There are techniques and skills which develop over time which contribute to the quality of the work you produce and alongside this comes a developed understanding of good presentation.Good presentation could be anything from cropping a photograph, to spell checking your literature.

Happy Holidays and Merry New Year As the old year begins to fade into the sunset, it is customary to reflect on the passing year and make plans for the upcoming one.

Specifically, the shooting in Newtown. I know that it's "human nature" to want to find
Photography Troubleshooting: How to work with MistGetting the camera out, and the scarf, hat and gloves, and heading into a misty morning or hazy evening can result in the best kind of photographs. Atmospheric, moody and ultimately a fine example of whatever current season you're in - these kinds of shots present themselves at awkward moments so it's vitally important to be prepared. In previous years I've got up at the crack of dawn and ventured out with all the excitement of a young child on their first day of school - only to come home with a grazed knee and broken felt tip pens. Or rather, washed out, blurred and altogether rubbish photographs.Fog is a popular mist - we often get confused and just term it all as fog or all as mist. It's not quite like that. It's all about the visibility, if we can see less than 1km through it then it's fog. If we can see between 1 - 2 km then it's mist. So when is the best time to catch these ground level clouds at their best? Fo

As everyone on this board knows, I was one and still your biggest defenders. I don't have lots of friends on this board either, partially for my so-called "blind" defense of you and also my politics. I think, even to this day you were harpooned by these "succubus" women, who not only degrade women Which I am one, but cheapens the rape accussation. As a rape victim myself, and as a retired NYPD Dectevive, who happened to work in the sex crimes squad, I truly believe that they were full of s--t! Ben, you must choose higher quality woment to hang with, just stay clear untill your suspension is lifted!
Now back to all this BB is a bad guy..I read the sports illustrated atricle and want to know one thing, where were all these people all these years? Why did they come out of the woodwork now? I don't know if that stuff is true, I don't live in Pittsburgh, so I can't form an opinion on that. But, since I live in NYC, I hear all the goodies on Derek Jeter, A-Rod, etc, etc.
Finally, Ben, keep your haed up and do the right thing..Don't listen to all these moral hypocrites who chastize toy for they are doing the same thing themselves! Example, I had a discussion with a Cowboy fan and he was saying how disgusted your activity was..Meanwhile, he is asking me out on a date..problem, HE is a married man! Did you ever hear the saying "don't throw stones, when you live in a glass house" I bet you that 90% of all the outrage comes from people who do, or have done the same thing you did...except they are not rich and famous!
Ben, there are still true steeler fans out there that still believe in you and believe in the rule of law!
God Bless!

My cousin, Pvt. Damian Velasquez, serves this country as a U.S Army Infantryman. He is focused, determined, proud, confident, independent, outgoing, and very funny. He is the one I look up to and the one who inspires me. He is my favorite member of my family. I make sure I make the most of every time I get to see him and am proud to have him as my cousin.
My cousin Damian is determined to do what he needs to do so that he will succeed in life. He joined the army because he knew that he wouldn't be able to afford all four or more years of college. He is confident because he knows what he will need to get done and he will do it without a thought in his mind saying that he can't. He is independent because he has had to look out for himself basically all of his life.
Damian is the complete opposite of shy. He is one of the most extroverted people you'll ever meet because he just doesn't care what people think. He knows that he is a great person because he's no longer a boy, nor is he even a teen anymore, he is a man fighting for this country on the front lines of battle. Along with being very outgoing, he is also extremely funny, and can make you laugh just by laughing himself. He can make a joke out of basically anything and is a very fun person to be around. Also, he is proud because he knows he has accomplished so much in his life already that the average man can never do in their entire lifetime.
A lot of 15 year old boys say that the men they look up to is their father, or grandfather, or some random famous person, but the man I look up to is my cousin, Pvt. Damian Velasquez of the U.S. Army. He is only nineteen years old but is more of a man than just about any adult male in the United States of America.

Whose predictions are the temperature cycles not conforming to? Are these people who believe the earth is 4.5 billion years old and came about through purely random undirected processes? If you believe the earth is very old, then you would expect the temperature of the planet to be very stable by now, so even a change of a couple degrees is cause for alarm.

The employees were able to provide responding officers with the suspect's description as well as the vehicle description.
Responding K9 Ofc. Dan Lesser located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop near 10th and Adams. The suspect, Melissa D. Tschanz, pulled over and gave Ofc. Lesser her Hawaiian driver's license. The vehicle's license plate did not match the car, but the driver's license was current. During the traffic stop, Tschanz decided to flee and Ofc. Lesser pursued her. Tschanz refused to stop for police and took several exits indicating she was headed for the Spokane Airport. Concerned for the safety of citizens at the nearby airport, he disabled her vehicle pushing it into a guardrail. Tschanz was taken into custody without injuries.
Further investigation showed Tschanz had rented the vehicle from a company near the airport but at some point had put phony license plates on the car. Tschanz was arrested for 1st Degree Robbery and Attempting to Elude law enforcement.

There's been a growing paranoia amongst Jet's fans regarding the contract status of the team's stud corner, Darrelle Revis. Revis, considered the best CB since Deion Sanders, is entering the third year of his 4yr/46 million dollar deal. The deal, front-loaded, leaves Revis to make only 13 million for the next two years. Throughout minicamp Revis has been non-committal on attending training camp, telling the media "I'm in this situation right now and it's is best for me to do what's best for my career."
This poses the question: Should the Jets bend and give Revis a long term extension and pay him as the top CB in the game, or, not budge and not extend Revis, holdout or not, and wait til his contract is up after two years? The answer is quite simple and doesn't require a lot of brainstorming: Extend Revis and make him a Jet for life even at 15 mil$ cap hit a year for the next six years.
Darrelle Revis is a once in a generation player; we might not see another player at the CB position with that much talent for another 25+ years. This kind of talent cannot be measured by dollars and is worth any headache he may bring through any holdout. Losing Revis now, in his prime, would leave a huge black mark on the organization for years. It's like not signing Klecko or Gastineau of the Sack Exchange or trading Testaverde halfway through the '98 season. Moreover, the effects of losing any franchise player in his prime is crippling, albeit rare. The Jets losing Revis would rival the Eagle's losing Reggie White to the Packers or Shaquille O'Neal leaving the Magic for the Lakers.
More importantly, the Jets should keep Revis at all costs because he gives them an advantage over every other NFL team. No other team can leave their best corner on an island for the entire game and roll coverage to other side. Bellichick tried to incorporate this last season with McCourty, leaving him on an island often. However, McCourty could not handle the duties leading to a sophomore slump. What I'm trying to say is their are probably 10-15 pass rushers who can get to the Quarterback pretty well and rack up around 12 sacks; but there is only one Revis, only one person who can do what he does. That, my friends, is why we should extend Revis for the next six years and keep the greatest player to have ever donned a Jet's uniform.

I was puzzled, so I asked her to hold the phone next to the computer and let me hear the noise. She agreed, and as she walked closer, I started to hear the beeping. It was a constant beeping, but didn't sound like beep codes. Over the phone, it sounded like a stuck keyboard.
I asked her if there was anything pressing on the keyboard, and she said no. I asked her to turn off the computer, thinking we would shut it down and reseat the cables. She agreed, and I heard her clicking the mouse, as well as the beeping. I waited a minute and the beeping continued. I asked her if the computer was now shut down. She said yes.
I asked, "It's definitely off? Nothing on the screen? What about a power light on the PC?"
"Yes it's off, nothing on the screen, and the power light went off," she replied.
I could still hear the beeping in the background -- now I was really confused. If the PC was off, the noise should have stopped.
I told her we needed to make sure the computer really was off, explained why, and asked her to go under her desk and pull the computer's power cord out of the outlet or power strip. After some grumbling, she agreed. I heard her fiddling under the desk, the beeping stop, and her saying, "Oh ..."
While I waited for her to get back to the phone, I was thinking she had unplugged the computer, which had stopped the noise, but something must seriously be wrong if the system beeped while turned off. When she picked up the phone, I braced myself, expecting to hear more lectures about the awful computer we sold her. Instead, she apologized!
It seems that after she had hooked everything up to her computer, she had pushed it back under her desk -- where it was pressing against an electric typewriter that was still plugged in and on, as she had just discovered. Technically, my guess was correct. It was a stuck keyboard, but not the one I had expected.
She apologized again, and I laughed it off and said not to worry. But I haven't forgetten this story -- and think of it at times when my patience is stretched thin.

Well i was in the store today and i knew Silverstein was coming out with a new album so i picked it up and took a chance. I liked "When broken is Easily Fixed" and i absolutely loved "Discovering the waterfront". So i thought i would like there album before this one "Arrivals and Departures", but i was so wrong. I do not mind when a band want to sing more and believe me Shane can sing but the songs on "arrivals and departures" were so boring and had no energy to them. The songwriting was cliche and not very creative.
But it is safe to say Silverstein is back with this new album. I absolutely love the album. The songs are great and full of energy just like punk/screamo should be. It seems to me Shane has practiced on his screaming because it sounds a whole lot better on this album then it ever has, and you can feel his emotions through his screams like never before. His singing is as good as it always is. He truly is a good singer IMO.
So if you like a little more screaming and an album packed with emotions and energy pick this up you will not be disappointed.

The PC just isn't hitting the spot anymore19
That's a slightly extreme statement. It's not that the PC doesn't turn me on, I just find my buttons being pushed by the cheaper, more convenient and casual console experience.
To give some background, way back in 2006 I built my own PC. It's needed literally no upgrading since then, I can still play BF3 at low settings.
I've loved it and it's loved me back by never having any issues. However, it's reached it's peak and I feel it's time to build a new PC. None of the parts are salvageable as I'll be giving it to my parents. The trouble is, I see a PS4 is retailing for £350 and I can't help, but be tempted. I can't build a budget gaming rig for anywhere near that from what I can see. I can wait 4 more months and afford a gaming rig, but is it worth it any more?
So my predicament is one that many before me have encountered; Console or PC?
My question to you however; What is your best argument for sticking with PC?
I know there are some passionate enthusiasts out there and would love to see how you defend a home-made rig.

Darius James to Texas, Commit no. 12 for 2013

Along with early enrollee Duke Thomas, Texas has now signed or received pledges from four Killeen-area players in the last two classes. More on James later.

Behind the scenes of Theatre Workshop's successful production of Oh What A Lovely War, the musical by Joan Littlewood, currently running at the Knightsbridge Theater in Los Angeles, is a name familiar to many in the entertainment technology business: Marshall Bissett.
Bissett, president of TMB, directed the production of the musical comedy, which tells the story of World War One, using the songs and documents of the period. The productions elaborate staging and audiovisual effects benefit from Bissett's years of wide-ranging backstage experience.
First performed in 1963 at the Theatre Royal in London, Oh What a Lovely War was a smash hit, later moving to London's West End and Broadway. Recently revived at the National Theatre of London, its text has become standard reading in British schools.
The show has an ensemble cast of Knightsbridge Company members under the musical direction of Bill Newlin (Ruddigore, Assassins, A Little Night Music) and a four-piece orchestra (including TMB's own inventory manager, Kevin Thompson, on drums). Choreography is by Jenny Gabbert and Karen DeThomas. Performances are at the Knightsbridge Theatre in Los Angeles, phone: 626 440-0821, and run July 12 to August 26, 2003.

10. This is somehow all Gardenhire's fault. We're not sure how, it just is.
9. Not playing Game 163 this year threw off our Mojo.
8. Upset about the whole Favre thing.
7. We heard the championship rings will turn your finger green.
6. Got tired of playing baseball. Summer is over already.
5. The TBS announcers were creepy.
4. We were a little too rested this year.
3. Everybody was looking at us.
2. Thought winning in the post season would be too "show-offy."
1. We don't really want to win the World Series. We just like messing with the White Sox and Tigers' heads.
Only 172 days of finger pointing, trade rumors and rosterbation until Opening Day, 2011!

Wirral teenagers wanted for test purchase campaign
Updated 2:25pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in News By Craig Manning, Chief Reporter
TEENAGERS are being recruited to take part in test purchase operations as part of a campaign targeting Wirral traders suspected of illegally selling age-restricted products to young people.
Volunteers aged 14 to 16 are needed to check whether licensed premises are abiding by laws governing the sales of alcohol, cigarettes and fireworks.
The operations are focused on premises where traders are under suspicion of illegally selling restricted products to young people.
Cllr Brian Kenny, Wirral's cabinet member for environment and sustainability, said: "We are looking for enthusiastic young people who want the chance to get some work experience, as well as learn about the licensing laws and see firsthand how Wirral Council's Trading Standards tackle the illegal sale of products like alcohol and cigarettes.
"Underage sales is an area that we know the public are really concerned about, linking as it does to such problems as anti-social behaviour and public health."
Volunteers will receive full training in what they need to say and do, and will be accompanied by an officer from Trading Standards at all times.
All officers have been the subject of enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks. Parental / guardian consent is required prior to taking part.
To register your interest to volunteer during occasional school holidays, evenings or weekends, email firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 0151 691 8366.

Purify Your Ordinary Bones
Dharma Discourse by Konrad Ryushin Marchaj Sensei
Book of Serenity, Case 57
Yanyang's "Thing"
Featured in Mountain Record 32.2, Winter 2013-2014
Konrad Ryushin Marchaj, Sensei is the abbot and director of operations of Zen Mountain Monastery.
Playing with reflections, struggling for the form, you don't recognize that the form is the source of the reflection. Raising your voice to stop an echo, you don't know the voice is the root of the echo. If it's not riding an ox looking for an ox, then it's using a wedge to remove a wedge. How can you avoid these extremes?
Main Case
Venerable Yanyang asked Zhaozhou, "When not a single thing is brought, then what?"
Zhaozhou said, "Put it down."
Yanyang said, "If I don't bring a single thing, what should I put down?"
Zhaozhou said, "Then carry it out."
Not prepared for meticulous action, he loses to the first to move—
Realizing himself the coarseness of his mind, he's embarrassed at bumping his head.
When the game is ended, the axe handle's rotted at his side:
Clean and purify the ordinary bones to play with the immortals.

Even though he did not win the National League "Final Vote" contest, Michael Bourn will still venture out to Kansas City next week as a part of the National League All-Star team.
It was announced this afternoon that Desmond of the Washington Nationals would be missing the game due to a left oblique strain. Bourn's addition to the team gives Atlanta four all-stars in Craig Kimbrel, Dan Uggla, and Chipper Jones.
This will be Bourn's second All-Star game appearance. His first came in 2010 as a member of the Houston Astros.
While this wasn't the most conventional way for him to get in, no one can argue that Bourn isn't a deserving selection. Bourn is having a career season in what is also a contract year, as he is hitting .305/.360/.448 with a career high seven home runs and 23 stolen bases.
So far, he's been worth 4.3 wins above replacement according to Fangraphs.

The search is over for a man who escaped from the Beckley Correctional Center.
Joseph Cody Genet, 26, was captured in Catlettsburg, Ky. around 1:00 p.m. on Nov. 7.
Genet was found at a relative's home by local authorities and U.S. Marshals after he escaped from the Beckley Correctional Center over the weekend.
He had been previously spotted in Ohio, but was not captured at the time.
Genet was found missing from the Beckley Correctional Center at midnight on the morning of Nov. 5.
He was serving time for burglary and breaking and entering. Those crimes were committed in Wayne County. He will now face an escape charge as well.
Because Genet was picked up in Kentucky, he will have to be extradited back to the Mountain State. Officials do not expect that process to take very long.

Despite its age, Sonic 2's gameplay holds up pretty well, with a lot of adversaries to avoid or dispatch.
The quintessential Sonic experience is made even better thanks to the inclusion of achievements and a strong, competitive multiplayer component.
Holds up as not only one of the best games available on Sega's memorable 16-bit machine, but also a worthy addition to any XBLA library.
Find a comfy armchair, arm yourself with fizzy sweets and pretend you're eight again. [Issue 26, p.116]
As a whole, this game is a complete classic that never really seems to bore.
For longtime gamers and those who can stomach the blocky graphics and touchy controls, it's great retro fun. [Dec 2007, p.78]
A timeless classic, but one we've played to death before. Still, 400 points isn't bad value. [Dec 2007, p.96]

Feb 18, 2013A spot on port of an amazing genesis title. Everything that made the genesis title so great is present here, but even better, in HD! The graphics are crisp and clean, the music and sound effects are amazing and are ported perfectly, the game still controls great, and the game overall has aged really well. when you dont feel like dragging out the genesis, or pulling out sonics UGC, this download is definitely the way to go. Every bit as wonderful and fun as the original.… Full Review »
Feb 3, 2013What can i say that hasn't already been said about this unbelievable game? Just in case you don't know Sonic 2 was one of those games that was great in every way; The best graphics of the era, an iconic soundtrack and some of the most perfect gameplay there has ever been. Even after all these years this provides one of computer games greatest rushes. The title of "classic" is given out to far too many games but if anything deserves it this does!… Full Review »

Long live Sonic 2 and all of the amazing classic games, for that matter.… Full Review »

Science took center stage in Goshen Saturday morning as 13 area Science Olympiad teams converged on a snow-dusted Goshen College campus to participate in the 2012 Science Olympiad Regional Tournament.
Modeled after the Olympic Games — but with a twist — each participating school fielded a team of up to 15 students to compete in more than 30 science-based events ranging anywhere from music and meteorology to physics and robotics.
Divided into middle school and high school divisions, each team did its best to secure one of three available slots — two middle school and one high school — that would allow them to advance to the state competition at Indiana University Bloomington on March 4.
Winners at the state tournament will then compete in the national tournament at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, Fla., on May 18 and 19.
In addition to the guaranteed slot winners Saturday, one additional team from each division won a chance to compete in a "wild card" tournament set for March 10 at Ivy Tech Community College in Lafayette. The winners there will fill any remaining spots at the state tournament.
About 100 Goshen College students, faculty and community members involved in science-based occupations were on hand throughout the day to judge and oversee the various competitions.
Teams participating in the Division B category — grades six to nine — this year included: Bethany Christian Schools, Imagine MASTer Academy, Manchester Junior/Senior High School, Northridge Middle School, South Bend Career Academy, St. Pius X Catholic School and The Stanley Clark School.
Teams competing in Division C — grades nine to 12 — included: Bethany Christian Schools, Columbia City Hight School, John Adams High School, LaPorte High School and Mishawaka High School.
Northridge Middle School seventh graders Kelly Blough and Andrew Maas counted themselves among the approximately 180 students to participate in this year's Science Olympiad Regional Tournament. The two made up one of seven teams to participate in the always popular "Tower" competition Saturday afternoon, where students have to construct a tower out of wood to certain specifications that is then graded on its ability to hold up to 15 kilograms of sand while weighing the least amount possible.
"They did really well," said head Northridge coach Jen Cormack following her team's performance. "They've been working really hard, and it's a really light tower, which is really nice. Andrew came up with the design himself."
While happy with his tower's performance overall, Maas said he was hopeful it would hold a little more sand than it did before finally breaking.
"It did OK," Maas said of the tower. "I was hoping it held a little bit more. I think it ended up holding around 10 kilograms, and the max is 15 kilograms."
Even so, Maas said he's not done with the Science Olympiad, and is already thinking of ways to make a stronger tower for his next competition.
"I definitely need to work on the design of my base," Maas said, "That's the part that broke last time too."
