Our distinctive approach to Fine Art blends creative studio work with critical and theoretical analysis of art. We use this carefully balanced combination of theory and practice to nurture highly employable and informed practitioners.
The practices of painting, drawing, installation, and digital fine art are integrated with twentieth century cultural history and theory. Over the period of study you will be supported by expert staff in developing your own creativity in one, or a hybrid, of the four studio practices.
We will help you to acquire technical skills and encourage you to develop your own style and approach, whether that�s conventional, experimental or something in between. A historical perspective will underpin your studio activities and enable you to better understand your work contextually and conceptually.
Our facilities provide an ideal space in which to develop your creative skills and thinking. They include purpose-built studios, a fully equipped wood and metal workshop, a range of performance spaces, a state of the art �black box� installation space, and digital studios. You will have 24/7 access to your own studio space and there are opportunities for study trips to museums and galleries in the region and further afield. Recent destinations include Berlin, New York and Rome.
Live@LICA is the cultural hub of the University and includes the gallery and art collection, the Nuffield Theatre and our International Concert Series. As a LICA student you will have access to many events, shared facilities and resources, including talks and performances by visiting artists and academics.
As well as enhancing your creative abilities, you will develop transferable skills, including analysing visual and textual material, carrying out research, planning and organising exhibitions, making presentations on your own work, participating in group discussions, and communicating effectively.
Our employability levels compare favourably with disciplines across the University and our alumni go on to thriving careers in a wide range of professional arenas. Some graduates become professional artists, set up their own studios, or go on to higher degrees; many are in demand for related careers in arts administration, galleries, education, art journalism, television, web design, art therapy, healthcare, and community work.
During your first year we�ll encourage you to develop your own ideas and creative practice via our studio practice module. By the middle of the year you will begin to specialise in digital art, painting, drawing, sculpture, installation or a combination of these (although you can change your discipline later if dictated by the direction of your studio work). A LICA-wide module on modernism in the arts introduces you to the key artists, ideas and movements of modernism. You will also take a third module, either from one of the other disciplines in LICA or from a range of subjects offered across the University.
Creative practice through studio-based courses comprises a quarter to a half of your modules in years two and three, and you�ll develop a significant body of high quality work for the end of year exhibitions. Cultural and theoretical studies continue with a second year course on critical theory and a third year dissertation on a topic of your choice. These are complemented by a range of options offering in-depth examination of contemporary art practices. You may also opt for interdisciplinary modules from other LICA subjects, gain employability skills, experience a work placement, or study entrepreneurship.
Visiting performers and academics will help to broaden your curriculum experience and your tutors will encourage you to question and explore in a supportive and vibrant learning environment.
For further information please see the Course Overview
The application procedure for BA (Hons) Fine Art has changed. Please be sure to read the Application Procedure below carefully.
We seek applicants with genuine commitment and motivation. You need a good quality portfolio and a willingness to learn, a passion for art, and a readiness to think about and discuss art in order to further enhance your practice. If you aren't interested in thinking and writing about art as well as making it, this isn't the right place for you.
Some of our students have taken a foundation year, others haven't. We happily cater for both groups. If you have completed a foundation year, you won't find that the first year is a repeat of your previous course.
You will be required to submit an e-portfolio as part of the short-listing and selection procedure. This should comprise exactly 15 images of artworks that demonstrate, through a combination of finished work in any media, working drawings, and sketch books, your potential and suitability for our course. We are looking for evidence of practical skills, such as good drawing and use of techniques, technology and materials, and also evidence of creative thinking, the ability to take an idea and transform it imaginatively.
We would strongly encourage you to start the application process early so that you can upload your portfolio to our online application screening system (PASS), as there is little advantage gained in waiting; volume of artwork is not a key driver in our decision making as it is the balance between a closely edited selection of work and the qualities evident in your UCAS form that we are interested in.
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2007
"The studios are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week which is extremely important to me as art is a subject that can�t always be refined into a structured timetable."
"I love the studio culture within the art department. Working closely with the other students every day allows you to form relationships and make new friends easily on your course."
"I love the family atmosphere of the college system on campus which groups everyone into a certain sector within the university and gives you a sense of home."
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2007
"When I first visited Lancaster I was attracted to the idea that the art studio was available twenty four hours a day and like the flexibility of being able to work at any time."
"The course offered at Lancaster means that you gain a historical knowledge of modern art and the ability to look at contemporary work in an explorative and critical way, thus informing your own individual practice."
"The art tutors here are really dedicated to pushing you to be fully engaged in your practice and really consider you as a future artist as opposed to just a student who needs to pass their degree."
"The studio centred teaching means that both you and your tutors are active and physically involved with your work. The studio culture has given me a new found critical awareness and understanding, where I can question and develop my existing practice."
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2007
"I found the city of Lancaster welcoming. It isn�t too big and busy to be intimidating, but it is not so small that�s its claustrophobic. It�s buzzing but cosy!"
"The art facilities make it really easy to get immersed and energised in your studio practice. 24 hour access means that you can get things done whenever you feel like."
"There are so many places to meet people that it�s easy to make friends. The range of pubs and clubs allow you to have different experiences every time you go out."
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2007
"I came to Lancaster as I was inspired by the art works around the studio when I visited. When I was interviewed, the tutors were interested in my ideas which was really encouraging."
"The studio environment is the best you could find anywhere. The people in the studio make working fun but also we motivate each other."
"I have made several of the best friends in my time here. One minute you�re meeting someone for the first time, the next time you feel like you have known them for years."
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2008
"My final project consisted of 200 cocoon-like forms made from sugar and latex. Through embracing organic processes and using simple materials with tactile temptations, my practice re-evaluates and re-validates beauty through imperfection and impermanence. "
BA (Hons) Fine Art, 2010
"I was initially attracted to the university for its position in the league tables and its reputation as an established university and the high standard of research facilities available."
"It has been a challenging experience but one which I've learnt a lot from. Learning how to be self-motivated and driven has been the hardest but most valuable lesson. Independence and being self-reliant are key to survival at university."
"You have to be independent and dedicated to your practice as the course emphasises independent learning and being the 'informed practitioner' so much. The hours of contact time can vary but the tutors encourage students to email them at any time and see them in their office hour."
"After Lancaster I intend to study at Masters level and either go into something media or arts based. I intend to still display my work and continue my own business on the side."
"My experience at Lancaster has involved meeting a vast array of people from all walks of life who change your perceptions for the better, studying by the duck pond in the summer and having BBQ's and parties in the evening and not forgetting working in my nice warm studio whilst the rain poured outside!"
Part-time study is possible. In Part I this equates to around 10hrs per week for 2 years. In year 3 you would be expected to study around 20hrs per week, in year 4 15hrs and in the final year we advise you study full time. Decisions on module choice and finding a route through your degree are made on a case-by-case basis.
50% studio practice, 50% theory in first year; 60% studio practice, 40% theory in second year; 70% studio practice, 30% theory in final year. These are rough guidelines only.
We recommend that you book online for a Visit Day or Campus Tour. Details can be found at: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/undergraduate/uk/visit.htm. On certain campus tour dates you can also �drop in� to the department you�re interested in for a talk and tour. Remember though that if you apply to Lancaster you will be invited to an Open Day / Interview which includes a talk, tour and the opportunity to chat to current staff and students.
Start by searching for your course via the Online Course Search tool on the website: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/coursesearch/ . Once you have reached the summary page for your course, click on the link to the Online Courses Handbook. This will take you to a detailed course description including links to individual modules and their reading lists.
We may be able to offer you an alternative. However, due to the amount of applications we receive this may not always be possible.
If you have completed your first year at another institution you may be able to enter direct into Part II for all LICA undergraduate degree schemes. In most cases this requires you to submit a marks breakdown / transcript from your current institution as additional information when you apply.

To love and to lose,
than to not love at all
why must I choose?
To have loved and to have lost,
we let our hearts pay a cost.
To love and feel that something,
to lose and feel that nothing.
From wanting something so bad,
now it was just something I had.
To watch it slip away,
in agony waiting for that day.
We let happiness slip through our fingers,
I know that our love still lingers.
We let our assumptions choose our fate,
We let it happen thats what I hate.
We tell each other that we're okay,
are we telling the truth, who's to say?
No matter what happens my love is always true,
I'm that type of person what's it to you?
Like I said I'll always be a friend,
hopefully a good one til the end
I could sit and wait for it to come back to me
until that day I'll just let it be!
To love and to lose,
than to not love at all
what do you choose?
I know I'm very rusty so don't be too mean on the criticism

Any game that is on NBCSN you can stream on their website. Its in HD also. NBC Sports
For what it's worth, I'm in Sharks Territory (*chuckle*) and don't have any TV provider but I do have a Roku with Center Ice and I love them. My problem is no Sharks vs. Kings games and no national or NBCSN games because I have no TV login account with a provider (so no streaming on their site), I'd say I have a way to watch 80% of regular season Kings' games with this set-up and for that other 20% (and playoffs) there are less than optimal streaming workarounds...
I have been thinking about picking up an HD antenna for NBC games but have ZERO EXPERIENCE using an antenna (well, not since rabbit ears) - anyone have any thoughts on HD antennas and NBC games?
If you want to do research go to AVForums.

NHL.com - Gamecenter Live FAQ and my zip code now shows both Ducks and Kings are blacked out.
But when I signed up for this season the Ducks were but the Kings weren't, and because I was concerned about it I printed the proof which I still have filed away somewhere.
I won't get it next season if they actually are blacked out.
If you are in line of site of the broadcast tower this is all you need for over the air HD.
If you are not in line of site, you are most likely sol.
I use Gamecenter and pay a little extra for a VPN service to get around any blackout restrictions. I use Witopia. For local games on FSW I quickly connect a server in Phoenix or the Bay Area, start streaming the game, and then disconnect from the VPN server since it is no longer needed and the VPN connection can sometimes be slow. Works like a charm. I connect to a VPN server in Mexico City for nationally broadcast games and playoffs.
I do the same for MLB.tv but they have stiffer restrictions. You have to be connected to the VPN service at all times or else it stops playing.

So here's the AAR:
(NC is an OC state.)
I went up to the range to compete in my first 3-gun this morning at 9am, but only got through 1 stage as I had to leave by Noon. Upon leaving, I was pulled over by one of the guys as I was loading my gun and putting 1 in the chamber. I was against the berm and well within the 180-rule, and he was like "you can't do that!" I said "no, this is my EDC and I am leaving, I need to load it." (Duh, otherwise I'd be on the OTHER SIDE of the watch area.)
So I left and OC'd in my car. Don't laugh, I figured it was the best way to ease into it, and something I'd have to get used to the feel of anyhow, right? For when I'm CC in the car?
My courage up, I decided to OC, but just to keep it "safe," I went to my local gun shop where the owner knows me and was keeping a box of ammo for me this week anyhow. So I had a slight moment as I was opening the car door, thinking "OMG, what if someone sees as calls the cops? I don't want to be the reason for a Bunny-With-A-Gun" call, as I don't know a lot of the local PD in that town."
But there were two guys standing at the shop next door, they looked at me but didn't raise an eyebrow. Guess they were used to folks carrying in and out of the gun store. Duh.
I walked right in and said hey to the owner and the lady at the counter, picked up my ammo, looked at a Glock 30, and bought a safe for my nightstand. (I didn't have a safe yet, so I'd been keeping the Sig unloaded and ammo on a different floor of the house. Then I thought "that's pretty stupid. How is THAT going to help in a home invasion?")
Chatted with everyone for a bit, ALMOST bought a T-shirt that they showed me. It says "Don't Tread On Me" in the front, with the flag, and then across the upper back in the rear it says "Infidel."
But I figured I'd wait on that for a bit.
I was also informed that while their engraver WILL do a bunny on the slide for me, he will not engrave "smile...wait for flash" on the muzzle because it could lead to potential risk in litigation IF I ever have a SHTF situation. I defended my position with this logic: If someone is ever close enough to read it, guess what? It's going to be the last thing the ever see. I'm practically doing a kindness by giving them one last, brief moment of humor. But they're right, perhaps a DA won't see it that way. So a bunny on the slide it is :)
Said goodbye, left the shop still carrying, drove home, walked across my yard to get the mail, and inside the house with no incident.
So yeah, I KNOW it was kind of cheating, but at least I can say I did it, and it was a good experience, even if it was practically a "soft" run.

The Ran Quartet
The Ran Quartet is an Israeli family drama. I think it will be remembered as the most sexually explicit content shown on Israeli TV in this genre.
The series was created by Gyora Yahalom & Oren Yaakobi
It was a great project, the team was amazing. The actors were great and I had a great time directing. My personal hurdle was directing some of the gay scenes, but upon seeing the adoption this show received in the global gay community, I think I managed to overcome this challenge.
The reviews for this series were spectacular, and many Israeli viewers just loved it.
The series was sold to CBS.

I am holding a foreign passport and a HK Resident ID Card. Do I have to get VISA at the Chinese Office in HK, or could I get a VISA at the immigration at Lowu?
Who wrote that,"You can't get Visa at Lowu its shutdown till Olympics"? You just go to Luohu, and ask for the Visa. If they knock you back, come back later and try again. Most people get one straight up, but they have bad hair days too. Best to go when it's busy, around 9 to 10AM.
... and the visa office in Lowu is most certainly open!
The safest & easiest way is to get your/a HK travel agent to get you a visa (I did it this week). They'll arrange the required travel & accommodation vouchers. No drama.
Yes, its definitely open.... my friend just got one yesterday.
Any idea if the visa at lo wu will be still open after 8th august. I have family coming on 8th and will be here for 2 weeks to visit hk and they would like to visit shenzhen.
Your family will not be able to get a visa in Lowu - unless they are Hong Kong residents.

Tennessee Woman Files Complaint with Department of Health After "Ghetto Booty" Diagnosisby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Terry Ragland, a 55-year old Tennessee native, visited a doctor in the city of Jackson this April due to extreme pain in her lower back.
But she could not believe her ears when Timothy Sweo told her the issue resided closer to another body part.
"He said 'I know what the problem is. It's ghetto booty,'" Ragland told WREG in Memphis. "I think I blacked out after he said ghetto booty. I think my mind was just stuck on the phrase because I couldn't believe he said that."
Dr. Sweo admits he used those words to diagnose "lumbar lordosis" to Ragland, but chose them "to take a technical conversation regarding your lower back and make it less technical," he later wrote to his patient after she complained to the office manager.
But Ragland told WREG that explanation just made her even angrier.
"It says to me that he doubts what type of intellect I have, how intelligent I am to be able to understand what he conveys to me in a medical term."
Ragland has filed complaint with the state's Department of Health.
"I think I do understand why her feelings were hurt but I don't understand what's offensive about it," says Sweo, who has practiced general orthopedics for 12 years.
hahaha lmfao. Im black and yet I cant stop laughing... That doctor along with the "Sum Ting Wong" INTERN ARE THE BEST
I think it's funny as hell. lol. It's a common phrase.
If she had been white, would he have called it "ghetto booty"? Seriously? And he doesn't understand how that is offensive? And he's a doctor?? I guess he missed the lectures on cultural diversity, ethnicity and ethics. What a moron doctor.
Roseredqueen, how is she announcing she doesn't clean herself? A ghetto booty has absolutely nothing to do with hygiene. It means a big butt, not a dirty one. Geez lol
Wow way to announce to everyone that you don't clean yourself. What could have been a simple discussion of boundaries between two people, someone suddenly remembered their "rights" and they have to let people know that they are not happy. What a whiner. Yeah he was out of line, so personally reprimand him like an adult who is confident in their position rather than complaining like a petulant child for all the world to see.
Typical.......just wants to get payed.....LOL!....i'll bet 100 to 1 she has been in a car accident ...and got payed....:)
Of course he will not understand what's so offensive about it!
lmaooo smh thats rude

Logic Pro, Logic Express, MainStage: Disable or remove Audio Unit plug-ins to troubleshoot issues
When troubleshooting Logic Pro, Logic Express, or MainStage, disabling or removing Audio Unit plug-ins can often help isolate the issue.
In many cases, you can troubleshoot issues with Audio Unit plug-ins by disabling them in the Audio Units Manager. If you can't use the Audio Units Manager because Logic or MainStage won't open, you can remove the plug-ins.
To open the Audio Units Manager:
- Click Logic Pro, Logic Express, MainStage, or MainStage 3 in the main menu bar.
- Choose Audio Units Manager or Preferences > Audio Units Manager from the drop-down menu. The Audio Units Manager will open.
- Disable Audio Units by deselecting their respective checkboxes in the Logic or Use column and in the Node column (depending on the application).
- Click the Done button.
- Quit and reopen Logic or MainStage for the changes to take effect.
If you are having trouble opening Logic or MainStage and suspect an Audio Unit plug-in may be the cause, you can troubleshoot by manually removing plug-ins.
- Most Audio Units install to this location:
- Other Audio Units install to:
To disable any Audio Unit for troubleshooting purposes, simply move the file from one of the above locations to another one, such as the desktop, before opening Logic or MainStage. If you don't know which plug-in may be causing the issue, move them all from the above locations.
To access ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
- In the Finder choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
- Type ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components in the "Go to the folder" field.
- Press the Go button.
If Logic or MainStage behaves correctly without your Audio Unit plug-ins, you need to find out which one caused the erratic behavior. To do so, put them back into the original folder one after the other, or a few at a time, checking after each plug-in or group of plug-ins to see if Logic or MainStage still behaves correctly. As soon as the issue recurs, you've discovered the affected plug-in.

I tried this tobacco out in RYO. It makes a really great smoke! Nice peppery taste with some light hints of fruit. Very smooth and no flavor overpowers the other. For making a smoke it really gives you a unique cigarette smoking experience. This has become my daily smoke. Its a little more expensive than the other tobaccos for RYO but well worth it imo.

Dear All,
Well, the late summer 2011 I was gifted of a tin of this. It came from the US, this is nothing we can find in Europe, and something not so common to find in the US as well as I can see…
Very much easy to me endorsing in full the review dated APR09/2011 by the esteemed Kilmarnock Piper re: the brother S.J., since I have got the same identical impressions regarding this one with the Acadian Perique.
Nice tobacco, very natural and good quality leaves. Bright & golden ribbons with some brown specs. Nice dose of vitamin N, a dry sweetness, some fruitness. I have also rolled a fag, and was near to fall crying … thinking of those good English Virginian cigarettes of old. Nice tobacco, indeed.
I've not doubt that I would buy this if available in my Country but… this is not a VaPer of the like I intend to be for use in a pipe. Don't ever think it's a brother (even a cousin) of some Escudo or SJF. This is something else, a bit far from what we Continentals are used to do with. Good in a pipe, even better in a fag.
We are just talking of pipe tobaccos here, right ?

ZBB Energy: Attractive Relative Valuation, Strong Demand Tailwind And Multiple Near-Term Catalysts
PRO • John Leonard, CFA • Thu, Aug. 21 • 13 Comments
- Stocks in the energy storage industry rose exponentially earlier this year as investors got over their skis in terms of pricing in growth.
- However, expectations have come down too far, which provides underpriced optionality given the near term catalysts and longer term constructive growth outlook.
- Strategic partnerships provide entry into large international markets and much needed cash flow as well as eliminate significant capex requirements.
- The strong balance sheet and lower cash burn rate reduces the chance of another secondary offering in the near term.
- There is strong federal support for the industry as evident by the recent $4 billion in loan guarantees provided by the Department of Energy for renewable energy projects.

It's only a millionMay 02,2014Its sad what a million dollars has fallen to.
I have been thinking about this recently, ever since The Times had an article about Jeb Bushs scramble to make up for the fact that he left the governorship of Florida with a net worth of only $1.3 million.
I have to admit, I was surprised Jeb Bush did not have more money than that. He must have felt terrible at family gatherings. When they started planning for Christmas, do you think the other Bushes assured Jeb that theyd be happy with a pot holder or a knitted scarf, just as long as it was handmade?
The article, reported by Michael Barbaro, had a happy ending. Bush is now making more than $1 million a year just for giving advice to Barclays bank. Which is hardly his only job. He has a ton of gigs like that. People are lining up to pay vast sums for the mans opinion.
A million dollars used to be a magic number, a sign of permanent affluence. Youd made it! But now it wont buy you lunch with Warren Buffett (the winning bidder in a charity auction paid $1,000,100) or even, it appears, a public defender. The lawyers for the allegedly indigent former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his father billed the government more than $1 million during their public corruption trial. Senior citizen thug Whitey Bulgers defense cost taxpayers more than $3 million.
Most Americans reverence for the million-dollar figure is based on the fact that they do not have a million dollars themselves and are not seeing any signs that Barclays will want to give it to them for a years worth of consultation. But there are also a lot of old cultural memories.
Back in the 1950s, people were watching Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a Millionaire and on television, The Millionaire. That was the series about a superrich guy named John Beresford Tipton, who liked to send $1 million to total strangers. Secret gifts that changed their lives, although often not for the better. John Beresford Tipton was a little like the Koch brothers, except his checks were smaller and the recipients were not required to plot against solar energy.
How to Marry a Millionaire was the story of three women who were looking for rich consorts who would support them in the style to which they wished to become accustomed. Since it was the 50s, the plot held they were looking for husbands and nobody ever suggested that a million dollars would not be enough to keep a kept girl fed and sheltered.
But now we have learned from the ongoing Los Angeles Clippers crisis that owner Donald Sterling spent $1.8 million just to buy his lady friend a duplex. This information is contained in a lawsuit brought against the woman in question, V. Stiviano, by Sterlings estranged wife. Stivianos lawyer has not denied the part about the gifts, although he says there is not a peppercorn of a fact that any fraud was involved.
While the world cant wait for Sterling to vanish from our collective consciousness forever, I wouldnt mind keeping a peppercorn of a fact.
But to get back to politics: A million dollars will get you Jeb Bushs advice. Also, it will buy a visit from Hillary Clinton. Four, in fact she gets around $250,000 per appearance. When someone in the audience threw a shoe at her recently, she was speaking at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries.
Hillary dodged the stiletto with quite a bit of dexterity and grace. But you had to ask: Why is this woman giving a paid talk to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries? The Clintons came out of the White House with very little cash, but theres got to be a point when you stop making up for lost time.
Its not that money doesnt buy happiness. Its that these days it requires a whole lot more than a million dollars. More than half of all the members of Congress are now millionaires, but many of them dont seem to be all that thrilled about their financial condition.
They feel: Were so underpaid, said Fred Wertheimer, the campaign finance reform activist.
Once politicians get to Congress, they become acquainted with people who are truly rich. Thats pretty much a necessity because re-election is something else you cannot generally buy for a million dollars. Suddenly, theyre hanging out with folks who have private jets and four houses.
Eventually, many lawmakers begin to feel as though they are making an enormous sacrifice by holding public office for $174,000 a year. And then theyre off to a D.C. law firm or lobbying job, which will pay them huge salaries for knowing the people they know. It will never occur to them that if voters had not given them that stint of public service, they would be processing divorce cases back home in East Cupcake.

RAINDROPS AND LEAVES Lyrics - The Renaissance
Sung to sleep
by a distant lullaby
filtered through raindrops and leaves.
Suddenly he's aware, this is no dream
is this real
what's happening
for some nights now
I thought he lived in my dreams
but I hear him somewhere outside
Tempted and bewildered
standing spellbound
all the crazy questions
circling around
from my secret place
somewhere in these magic trees
sponsored linksI can see his spirit clearly
In the midst
of a thrash of rainy boughs
still the song rides on the wind
such a luminous sound.
He tried to trace
but it seems to come from all directions
hidden miracles
dancing just beyond our grasp
will they ever be revealed
Tempted and bewildered
standing spellbound
all the crazy questions
circling around

Many of the preseason polls that matter are in the process of being released as we are now less than three weeks from the official kickoff of the College Football season. The USA Today poll, already released has the Oregon Ducks fourth. The ESPN Power Rankings, released on Monday have also slated the Oregon Ducks fourth behind Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida State respectively. There is one thing I find interesting in each poll and that is Pac-12 Powerhouse Stanford(this season) has been ranked behind the UCLA Bruins in the polls, in some cases rather considerably behind.
In the ESPN Power Rankings the Bruins also hold a lead over the Stanford Cardinal. UCLA is slated eighth and the Cardinal tenth. ESPN also slotted the Michigan State Spartans in the top ten at number seven. The Spartans/Ducks matchup is one of the more anticipated matchups of the entire season. Several other Pac-12 teams also made the list including USC at fourteen and the Washington Huskies at twenty. In the Big Ten Conference the favorite Ohio State enters the season ranked fifth in the ESPN Top 25 Power Poll.
The Oregon Ducks kickoff the 2014 season on Saturday, August 30th(7:30pm PT, Pac-12 Networks) hosting South Dakota on Saturday, August 30th before the showdown against Michigan State on Saturday, September 6th(3:30pm PT, FOX).
For more on the Oregon Ducks , the rest of the Pac-12 and any cool tidbits we find along the way follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

text: Finally, the start Kentucky fans have been hoping and waiting for. After winning the opening tip, the Wildcats raced out to a 6-0 lead in the first 59 seconds of the game. Kentucky continued to play well through the halfway point of the half, leading 23-13 with 9:30 left in the half. After maintaining that margin for the first portion, these young Cats started playing a little loose. This allowed a scrappy Providence team to claw its way back into the game, cutting the margin to 35-32 after making two free throws with 3:09 left on the clock. They followed this up by tying it up on a made three pointer with 2:21 in the half. Luckily for this Kentucky team, they were able to score the last four points of the half, taking a 39-35 lead heading into the locker room. The one concerning stat is the three point shooting for Providence, hitting 6-8 in the first half. If Kentucky cannot close out on these shots, Providence will continue to scrap and get open shots. As long as they continue their hot hand, they will remain within striking distance, something the Wildcats don't want. Kentucky must come out in the second half and play lock down defense, using their length to get into passing lanes and stop the shots before they have time to develop.

No injuries were reported Wednesday morning from a fire at a vacant building in the South Chicago neighborhood.
The blaze prompted officials to cordon off several blocks around the 7900 block of South Essex Avenue and nearby CTA buses were rerouted.
Heavy flames were first reported on the third floor of the three-story brick building about 6:30 a.m., according to Fire Media Affairs.
Firefighters attacked the flames from the outside because the building is abandoned, Fire Media said.
CTA buses travelling 79th Street in both directions were being rerouted because of the fire, according to a CTA alert.
The fire was out by 7:55 a.m., according to Fire Media.

On Saturday afternoon, Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price praised right-hander Johnny Cueto during his pregame chat with reporters.
"Johnny Cueto has been an outstanding pitcher for as long as I can remember … I've been here since 2010," said Price, who likened Cueto's command of the strike zone to Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. "He's taken his game to an even higher level."
A few hours later, Cueto justified his manager's comments by giving up two runs and three hits and striking out 10 in eight innings while adding an RBI single to lift Cincinnati to a 6-2 victory over the first-place Milwaukee Brewers at Great American Ball Park.
The only two hits off Cueto through seven innings were solo home runs by third baseman Aramis Ramirez and first baseman Mark Reynolds.
Cueto (2-2), who has won three of his past four starts against Milwaukee, issued just one walk and lowered his ERA to 1.31.
Cincinnati (14-16) collected nine singles while snapping a 12-inning scoreless streak that included a 2-0 loss to Milwaukee the night before.
Second baseman Brandon Phillips and left fielder Ryan Ludwick, who both had a day off on Friday, combined for five hits and a RBI.
Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo allowed four runs and nine hits, all singles, with one walk and a season-low one strikeout. The nine hits and four earned runs were both season highs for Gallardo.
Instead, the Reds' stagnant offense picked Saturday night to wake up against Gallardo.
Third baseman Todd Frazier's RBI double made the score 5-2 in the seventh. Frazier later scored Cincinnati's sixth run on back-to-back wild pitches by right-hander Tyler Thornburg.
Cueto escaped a jam in the eighth, but it took a replay review to confirm that Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez was out at first to end the inning with runners on first and second.
Ramirez snapped a 0-for-28 skid with a solo home run off Cueto in the second to put Milwaukee ahead 1-0. It was Ramirez's fourth home run and the fifth allowed by Cueto this year.
In the fourth, Cincinnati loaded the bases with one out before Ludwick's RBI single tied the score. Pena followed with a two-run single to put the Reds ahead 3-1.
After Ramirez's 380-foot blast, Cueto retired the next nine batters before Reynolds made the score 3-2 leading off the fifth with his seventh home run of the season. But that is all the offense Milwaukee could muster against Cueto.

Arizona has just pulled ahead in the race to see which state can produce the cleanest and most efficient green energy with its new solar plant with the ability to generate energy even at night.
Arizona's new 1.45 billion dollar Solana Generating Station near Gila Bend is the largest capacity solar thermal plant on the face of the Earth.
What is even more remarkable is the ability of the solar plant to keep producing energy at night. Constructed by a Spanish energy giant company, Abengoa Solar, and named "Sunny Spot", the plant has a total capacity of 280 megawatts, which is enough to power almost 100,000 homes and greatly reduces the carbon dioxide output.
Current conventional solar plant designs use mirror arrays to focus energy to a central point, which is used to boil water to create steam to power a turbine. Up until now these plants were limited by the amount of sunlight they could absorb during the daylight hours, but now with the addition of salt tanks the energy producing systems are looking more efficient. This is the first American plant using this new design.
Twenty-seven hundred mirrors focus the sun's rays onto a synthetic oil, heating it to 735 °F. This working fluid then flows into steam boilers to heat water and drive a 140 megawatt turbine. But this working fluid isn't done yet; any residual heat from the fluid is then siphoned off by a set of six tanks holding a combined 125,000 metric tons of salt. These salt tanks remain at roughly 530°F during the day. Impressively, the Solana plant produces power for an additional six hours after the sun has gone down thanks to its huge molten salt thermal storage.

Ireland suffer Sexton blow
ESPN Staff
February 14, 2013
Jonathan Sexton injured his hamstring against England © PA Photos
Ireland fly-half Jonathan Sexton and second row Mike McCarthy have been ruled out of the Six Nations match against Scotland through injury.
Sexton sustained a hamstring problem and McCarthy knee ligament damage in Sunday's 12-6 defeat by England and team manager Mick Kearney announced on Thursday that they will miss the trip to Edinburgh.
"Jonny's scan revealed a grade two hamstring injury. Progress has been good so far, but it's too early to say when he will return to play," Kearney said. "Mike has hurt the medial ligament of his right knee. It's quite sore and he will be in a brace for two weeks. A further review will take place in two weeks."
Ireland received more positive news on the remaining injuries they incurred during a brutal clash at the Aviva Stadium. Centre Brian O'Driscoll, full-back Rob Kearney, flanker Sean O'Brien and lock Donnacha Ryan are at varying degrees of fitness, but all should be available to face Scotland.
"Brian had a recurrence of the soft tissue injury in his good ankle. Scans revealed no structural damage and he will do non-contact training today," Kearney said. "Donnacha Ryan suffered a lower back muscle strain. Scans have excluded structural damage but he's quite sore and won't train this week.
"He'll be reassessed at the weekend and at this stage he has a good chance of being available against Scotland. Sean O'Brien has recovered well from his stiff neck and tight hamstring and will train today. Rob is fine. He had a slight dead leg but trained fully today."

Chkdsk running on every boot
I've had this problem for the past week or so since trying to install a new SSD as my boot drive to my laptop. I have an Acer laptop and used the Acer backup utility that came with it to make a ghost image of my c drive, although first I had to shrink the partition in windows to allow it to fit on my new Crucial M4 128G SSD. I first backed up to an external drive and then using a bootable CD generated by the back up utility I installed my new drive.
Everything seemed to go according to plan and I stupidly set about making my HDD into storage space by formatting it, and using it in an optical hard drive caddy. I then ran into the problems as stated in the thread title and can't get chkdsk to stop running at boot, even though it finds nothing wrong with the disk.
I originally assumed my problem was the new hard drive and Crucial support suggested it was the method I used to clone my drive. As I'd formatted my original hard drive the only option I had was to use the Acer utility to get back to the configuration I had pre SSD. Only now this drive also has the problem.
I think this pretty much rules out the drives being bad from a hardware perspective? I'm also of the opinion it's the Acer backup utility that's corrupting my windows install. I'm far from being an IT expert that's just the way it seems.
Every possible solution I can find in google has been of no help so far.
One thing I can add is that after running chkdsk at boot, I can run chkntfs at 5 minute intervals after start up and all seems fine until after about 20 minutes when the drive is labelled dirty. This is on both the HDD and the SSD.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Chris, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if this below may be able to help by resetting chkdsk.
Check Disk - Reset
Hope this helps,
|My System Specs
|11 Jun 2012
Hi Shawn, thanks. I had considered option 1 but was worried I might just be ignoring a genuine problem?
I'm currently cloning to the SSD (again) using the method recommended by Crucial, which is using this EZ Gig IV Cloning Software with Data Select for Windows
I don't have high hopes but I figured it's worth a go.
|My System Specs
|11 Jun 2012
That would only reset it. If there's a problem with the HDD, then it would trigger it again.
I hope it works fine for you after re-cloning it.

OK so both of the above failed and I resorted to what I thought would have been a last resort fix of this problem and clean reinstalled windows from the acer recovery partition on my drive.
No change at all. I consistently get ntfs errors after 20 minutes, regardless of which drive or install I use. The event viewer has these errors...
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error DeviceIoControl(\\?\Volume{486acaf4-b482-11e1-a3ea-806e6f6e6963} - 0000000000000164,0x0053c008,00000000004CECE0,0,000000000033A300,4096,[0]). hr = 0x80070570, The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
followed by

and later

If I run check disk all seems well for 10 minutes after reboot and then fail. It's driving me nuts.
I can only assume it's the recovery partition that's corrupt but I haven't got a clue what to do.
The only windows 7 disk I have is a Dell OEM. No idea if this would work with an Acer product key?
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2012
If you have not already, you should create a set of Acer factory recovery discs to have as a backup to be able to do a factory restore of Windows 7 with if you like. The link below is for Vista, but I believe it's the same method for Windows 7.
How to create ACER Vista Recovery disksNext, it sounds like you HDD needs to have the clean command run on it, and then reinstall Windows 7. You can use the tutorial below for how to do a clean install on your computer.
Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7Before doing anything, make sure that you have your product key number on the COA sticker on your computer available, backup anything that you do not want to lose to a separate HDD, and have your drivers' installation files downloaded from Acer for you specific computer model number and saved to a separate location in case you may need them after installing Windows 7.
