While the devaluing of positions have blurred the lines to wing and post players, there have been two positions that have remained. The first is the center position; someone who can not only rebound and alter shots, but also become a leader on the defensive end. Even as the league moves towards smaller lineups and the era of the four and out, and elaborate spacing, having a six-foot-ten behemoth in the middle to occasionally throw into and score the ball in the post is a great luxury to have.
The other position is the point guard position. Ideally, you want to have multiple passers on the floor, but having a point guard who can orchestrate your offensive sets at the top of the key is vital. San Antonio's Tony Parker is a great example of this. Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Kawhi Leonard are all good passers (Duncan and Manu are great passers), but Parker is the key to that offensive set, thanks to his ability to set and reset the offense, and run plays for himself, or drive and kick out to an open shooter on the wing.
Over the past five seasons, the point guard position has received a tremendous boost of talent with guys like Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, and John Wall. Some of them don't offer you the same passing ability like others, but those guards usually thrive on scoring situations. At one point, you could come into the NBA as a point guard and be a below-average defender if you provided solid playmaking ability. Now? You need to offer some defensive ability with your offensive value, or your minutes will be limited. Part of that has to do with the ever-increasing defensive data and ability to pinpoint poor defenders, but most of it has to do with the number of point guards that can take over a game on a nightly basis.
The Orlando Magic are one of the teams that could use a point guard. Just a glance at their passing numbers, Orlando finished 23rd in the league in assists per game (21.0), 22nd in assist/turnover ration (1.41), 20th in assists ration (16.5), 21st in passes per game (286.4), 23rd in points created by assists. The most damning stat of all is that Orlando finished 25th in basketball in secondary assists with 4.9. Victor Oladipo is a good passer, but he's not a point guard. He held down the position admirably, but Orlando finished 29th in the NBA in offensive efficiency. Drafting another point guard and sliding Oladipo over to his more natural shooting guard position seems like the best move Orlando could make this offseason.
The two names that intrigue Orlando with the fourth pick are Australia's Dante Exum and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart. Let's break them down.
Marcus Smart
Age: 20
Height: 6' 3.25" Weight: 227 pounds
Measurements: 6'9.25" Wingspan, 36.0 Max Vert, 8' 3" Standing Reach
Numbers: 32.7 mpg, 18.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 4.8 apg, 2.9 spg, 55.2 TS%
When Marcus Smart returned back to Oklahoma State for another season, the Magic were the ones hurting at draft time, as Orlando was reportedly enamored with him. This time around, the Orlando Magic are here at four, Marcus Smart is in the draft, and all could be right in the world. Much like last season, there are a ton of things that make Smart an intriguing prospect.
For starters, the all-around versatility is something to be intrigued about. At a tick under six-foot-four, Smart seems to have the size you want from your point guard, and his 227 pound frame makes him a bowling ball for opponents. It's one of the reasons why Smart shot 64.9% at the rim and garnered 8.1 free throws a game in his final season at Oklahoma State. Along with his size and craftiness around the rim, Smart is also one of the best defenders in the draft. He's a bulldog on that end- hounding opposing point guards, and even having the versatility to defend opposing wing players thanks to his 6'9" wingspan.
What will determine Smart's success is his shooting. During his last season at Oklahoma State, Smart shot 30.7 percent on two-point jumpers and 29.9 percent on three-point attempts. At first glance, his shooting motion doesn't seem broken, so maybe there's a chance he could become an average shooter, but nothing more. Smart's intangibles will also be in question. He's a notorious flopper at this point in his career, and his run-in with the fan during the Texas Tech game only hurt his reputation. He may just be a hothead, but controlling his emotions is something Smart will have to work on when he makes the NBA.
Dante Exum
Age: 19.9
Height: 6'6" Wight: 196
Measurements: 6' 9.25" Wingspan, 34.5 Max Vert, 8'7" Standing Reach
Numbers: 18.2 PPG, 3.8 APG, 3.6 RPG, 1.7 SPG, 44.6% FG, 33.3% 3P, 60.9% FT ( FIBA World Championships 2013)
Exum doubles down as one of the biggest freaks and biggest enigmas in the draft. He's 6'6" with a 6"9" wingspan, plays like a point guard, and profiles as a combo guard, thanks to his monstrous size and score-first mentality. Offensively, Exum could be unfair. He'll be able to bully much smaller defenders, and give problems to guards just as tall thanks to his speed. He'll move the ball around, and find teammates well. He's fast, really fast, and should be able to run an up-tempo offense with ease. Defensively, Exum has potential to be an excellent defender. His speed translates to his defensive patterns, and his freakishly long arms should allow him to rank among the league leaders in steals per game.
Similar to Smart, Exum isn't a great shooter. Shooting 33 percent from three, and 60 percent from the free throw line. At just 19 years old, his shooting should improve, but it isn't great right now. Much like Smart, Exum has a solid shooting motion, and should have no problem improving with the right shooting coach. The combo guard label is a bit of a concern, as Tyreke Evans would suggest. Defensively, he's still a slight player with his frame, and could use an additional 10-15 pounds to his frame to make him a legitimate threat to wing players on opposing teams.
The Magic are in an excellent position with the fourth pick if a point guard is available. Both Exum and Smart are great talents, and both should form an excellent two-way backcourt with Victor Oladipo. The only question with either of these guys and combination of Oladipo is the shooting. Oladipo wasn't a great shooter as a rookie, and neither Smart and Exum project to be good shooters to start their careers. A team already lacking shooters with three non-spacers on the floor, Orlando could be desperate for space this season, while offering a potential top tier perimeter defense.
For comparisons, Smart reminds me of Pacers guard Lance Stephenson, but if he can shoot, he could be a poor man's Kyle Lowry. Other than shooting, Smart has all the tools Lowry possesses, but he's a bit bigger. He'll be an aggressive rim attacker, and offer the Magic someone who can dictate and run the offense. If he can't shoot the ball, then the Magic will really need Oladipo to develop his shooting touch, but Smart will be able to have solid value for most of his career even if he can't shoot, thanks to his ability to defend multiple positions. Almost Tony Allen-ish in his defensive ability.
As for Dante Exum, I can't give you a proper comparison, but the comparison I love for him is Manu Ginobili. His shooting guard size combined with his point guard-esque play could create a pretty interesting player for Orlando. The only real issue is, again, Exum can't shoot. It's what made Manu a great offensive player, and the reason why Miami is having trouble relegating Dwayne Wade to a potential bench role. If Exum can learn how to shoot, then the league just might be in trouble. He'll be unstoppable on offense, and suffocating multiple positions on defense. However, if he doesn't develop into an above-average shooter, Exum could still be a dangerous player, thanks to his athleticism and measurements.
If I was Magic GM Rob Hennigan, I would take Exum. The upside seems too great. However, there was something CBS Sports' Matt Moore pointed out in his Orlando Magic Draft Options post that I would heed with caution:
"One problem? Exum is represented by Rob Pelinka, Kobe Bryant's agent. Exum has a soft spot in his heart for the Lakers. Do you want to draft a guy with that kind of background, after losing two former franchise stars to LA? This is a serious concern for me if I'm the Magic. You effectively don't have to worry about it for another eight years (no one leaves off their rookie deal who's a star), but eventually, this could be an issue. It's something to think about."
The Joel Embiid injury might've shaken up the board to the point that one of these two – Smart, most likely – will be on the board. If both are on the board, The Magic brass and fans will be happy with whichever point guard they select.
Which point guard should the Magic pick at four?
- Dante Exum (78%, 39 Votes)
- Marcus Smart (22%, 11 Votes)

The Houston Texans have released QB T.J. Yates according to Ian Rapoport (NFL.com).
The #Texans just released TJ Yates, source says
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 17, 2014
Yates, 27, will forever be known for "leading" the Texans in to their first playoff appearance, and giving the franchise their first playoff win in franchise history. His 6-yd touchdown pass to Kevin Walter could be the team's biggest passing touchdown in franchise history.
Yates finishes his Texans career with 1,100 passing yards, 3 TD's and 6 INT's in 13 regular season games with the Texans. He will likely be able to find a job elsewhere, with the Baltimore Ravens being a favorite for his services.
The House Of Houston staff debated which quarterback would/should be cut, and many sided with Case Keenum. Though Yates beat out Keenum for the #2 spot last offseason, Keenum was the one who started when Matt Schaub was injured/struggled, and it's Yates who gets the short end of the stick again, this time losing his job completely.
The Texans named Ryan Fitzpatrick their starting quarterback earlier today. Case Keenum is expected to be the team's #2 quarterback, and Tom Savage will be the team's third quarterback.
Here's a video of Yates' finest moment in a Texans uniform:

How come you can write almost every post so that it makes me laugh and cry at the same time?
Thankful prayers that Annika had no hidden surprises for the doctors.
And more thankful prayers for husbands who bring coffee.

- halloweenlover said...
I'm so glad to hear good news about Anni. Phew. Perhaps all the bloggers can come to you and we'll throw a makeup Christmas, complete with Santa.
I hope these next few days pass very very quickly and Annika is extubated and healing faster than you can imagine.
- said...
I think that you should consider writting a book while you are stuck in our tiny PICU room. You are a very gifted writter and your "rockette" comment at 3 am forced me to crack a smile trying to remind Anni to "try not to wiggle." I am very pleased with the good news of your day and am looking forward to sharing a new playlist I made for later this week. Take care and see you tomorrow. Your nurse, Genny
- Phantom Scribbler said...
Genny is right. You are an extraordinarily gifted writer, Moreena. Thank you for allowing us to trail behind you on these journeys down hospital hallways with you.
- said...
So glad for the good news on Annika's progress....one day at a time. I hope you have found a lot of "tunes" to listen to from everyone.
- peripateticpolarbear said...
Moreena, you are the absolute best. You're living in a layer of hell that most of us have never and will never visit and yet you continue to entertain all of us with your wit and comedic timing. I feel guilty for laughing!
- liz said...
I always come too late to say something original, everyone else has said it so well.
I'm up for a make-up Christmas when you are all home again.
- Rev Dr Mom said...
What everyone else said...you are an incredible writer, and an incredible mom. And I hope when Anni is all better, you get a very long vacation someplace quiet and peaceful.
Hoping the news continues to be good.
- said...
I am so glad to hear things went well this am. My prayers continue to be with Annika and your family.
Many blessings to you all.
And yes, I must agree with the others you are a very talented writer
- said...
Life going on for others really hit home for me. We have been home from our long five months in and out (mostly in) the hospital for about a month now. I try each and every day to realize that we are the others for whom life is going on. You will be soon, too.
Re your excellent writing skills, I have just assumed that is what you teach at the university.
- susan said...
How good to read good news...and what everyone else said about your writing and the gift it is to be with you, in a fashion, through all this. And Jorg (sorry, don't know how to make an umlaut in the comment box) has a nice sense of humor under pressure, too.
- said...
I am so happy to read good news- keep up the good work, Annika!!!
I definitely understand the crying at Santa, and what a great husband to bring coffee and offer to beat up the red-suited guy in the same day!@ :-)
- Joanna said...
Hi Moreena
Glad to hear nothing new reared it's ugly head in the OR today and you are starting to slowly move forward. The days and nights must be extremely long for you however but there is nothing else to do being the loving mum you are. I sent a parcel today, I hope the post at this time of year doesn't hold it up too long and that it might help in a tiny way. You had every right to cry today. I tried to avoid taking Jessie to see her friends perform in their preschool holiday sing because I knew I would get upset. She is not going to preschool until spring to avoid the horrible viruses that go around. But you know, who am I to keep her from that and she had a lovely time, I think. I would have prob cried even if she had been taking part because as we know every little thing is a miracle with our kids. It's not ideal I know but Christmas will wait for your Annika,
- Rowan said...
Relieved and happy that all news appears to be positive. You sound much more upbeat, too.
I have to tell you that my husband, Chris wanted to let you know that Jorg is just his kind of guy. As I was reading this post aloud to him, and had just gotten to the part where Santa made you cry, Chris piped up with, "I'll kick his ass!" I could barely finish the rest because I was giggling over the protective similarities of our husbands. Jorg; however, is a bit less brash.
I hope that tomorrow only shows more improvement. We're all thinking of you throughout the day and sending love and strength.
- said...
I am so happy to hear that the surgery went quickly and well on Monday! Yeah for some good news! Annika is a strong, brave little girl and her will, will prevail. Go Annika! I am keeping you in my daily prayers.
- said...
Oh I was going to say the same thing as Robyn! I don't know you but I love reading your posts! I am praying for Annika and hope that your christmas in February is an awesome one.
- said...
I'm with Robyn, almost every post brings smiles and tears. Big smiles this morning to hear the infection is responding and that the stitches held. Tears to think of you all delaying Christmas. But, Christas IS family and a February Christmas will be quite wonderful.
I hold you all close to my heart and continue prayers for this long ordeal. I'll be so glad when *our* Anni is awake. So thankful her little body is healing - but somehow that does not surprise me at all.
- Kathryn said...
Moreena, you will probably never realise how many people are hanging on your every post.We've been praying for Annika at Morning and Evening prayer at my church for a while now, and lots of people who don't actually come at those times stop me to ask how "That brave little girl with the amazing mum" is doing.
Glad there were no fresh surprises in this installment...I'm sorry it sounds as if she'll be stuck with the ventilator till next week, but hope she'll not be too bothered by that (or you and Jorg either)
My love and prayers for you all
- Beanie Baby said...
Oh yay! I'm so happy that you had a good surgery. What a relief!
- ccw said...
So happy to hear that it was a day of good news.
I love your husband! Anyone willing to beat up Santa to make you feel better is a great partner.
- angela marie said...
Those men of ours. They are perfect, aren't they?
I'm so glad that Anni is doing a little better. Thank you for sharing this delicate part of your life with us. Yes, it makes those of us with healthy children more thankful, but it also connects us to 'strangers' in a bond that SHOULD be formed.
- said...
thanks for your update ...glad that Annika is now closed and apparently on a slow heal..thats good news! Patience for sure...wow, a couple more weeks of healing...that must seem like forever. Prayers for her healing...and your sanity!
Second on that book writing comment.
- said...
Moreena, my family has a Santa costume that I can bring down when you guys have Christmas in February (or whenever it is). I can find a guy friend to play that part, too! I'd love to help you celebrate!
- Mike said...
Am I the only one thinking that a Jorg vs. Santa cage match would make great pay-per-view?
- Shelli said...
That damn mean Santa. Didn't he know you were worried about your surgically abused, sedated, breathing-challenged daughter. I'm still watching for every post and wishing you and your family the best. Send very good thoughts Annika's way.
- Running2Ks said...
I'm so sorry about that Santa--thank God for your husband and his help and humor.
Fingers crossed and prayers that Anni improves and all can progress soon.
- said...
Some of you will already know more than others about surgery. But it's important to learn as much as possible about it. So, the more information you can lay your hands on, the better it is.

Creating a Culture of Cheating: How NCLB, AYP and Standardized Testing Brought a School District to its Knees.
I work in a school district that has been rocked by a high-stakes test cheating scandal. Our former superintendent is now in Federal prison, and many of the leaders of the district have either left under a cloud of suspicion or are not having their contracts renewed because of the scandal. The local newspaper, on almost a daily basis, relishes in and rehashes the shortcomings of the district, and takes every opportunity to call the district leaders and school board incompetent. Indeed, almost any article in the paper contains multiple paragraphs that have simply been copy and pasted from previous stories about the downfall of the superintendent. Local non-school board politicians, like great whites sensing blood in the water, regularly proclaim that the district "broken" and demand the state or federal government take over the daily workings. The scandal has spread so far in fact, that the state Commissioner of Education has appointed a Board of Managers to oversee the district and to essentially neuter the current elected members of the board. The federal government is also looking at the district. External auditors have been brought in to find irregularities. To say things are bad is an understatement.
This ex-superintendent, when hired five or six years ago, was given a mandate to "improve the test scores at any cost." At that time the district had many campuses that were in various stages of deficit in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) rankings called the Annual Yearly Progress or AYP. Indeed, nearly half of the district's schools were in some troubled AYP rank, either from the first stage to a chronically troubled high school that was in danger of being "reconstituted" or even closed because of poor test scores. That high school, sitting a literal stone's throw across the Rio Grande river from Juarez Mexico, along with it's feeder schools, has traditionally had a very high immigrant and first generation American student population. First generation Americans, migrant and immigrant children and other with very low English-skills are required, like all other students to to take the standardized tests in English, where the much of the school's ranking is based. The pressure to raise the scores, especially at the schools where the AYP rankings had been low for multiple years, was great. The stage was being set.

Brown filmed the interview for Larry King Live on Wednesday and the network has confirmed that the 20-year-old R&B singer will appear along with his mother, Joyce Hawkins and attorney Mark Geragos.
Outside of appearing with Oprah, this is probably the second best option for Brown in hopes of repairing his image after pleading guilty to one county felony assault against R&B singer Rihanna.
Even if Brown answers all of the questions thrown his direction by King, he still faces an uphill battle. Just hours after he was sentenced on Tuesday, Brown was spotted partying at a nightclub in West Hollywood.
As if that wasn't bad enough, it was nearly a violation of his probation. His probation requires Brown to "abstain from the use of all alcoholic beverages and stay out of places where they are the chief item of sale."
In a society where second and third chances are the norm, this is likely not the end of Brown's career. But in order for Brown to reclaim his status of a pop superstar, he needs to show remorse for his actions. Shedding a few tears on national television is not enough if you're out in a club having a good time. If I were a parent of a teenage son or daughter, I would think long and hard before my daughter asked for a poster of Brown for their wall or a copy of his latest album.
Do you think his interview with Larry King is a step in the right direction and what else do you think Brown needs to do to repair his image?

Henry II:
You know me well enough to know I can't be stopped.
I don't have to stop you - I have only to delay you. Every enemy you have has friends in Rome... will cost you time.
Henry II:
What is this? I'm not mouldering - my pate's not peeling off. I'm good for years.
How many years? Suppose I hold you back for one? I can - it's possible. Suppose your first son dies? Ours did - it's possible. Suppose you're daughtered next? We were - that, too, is possible. How old is "Daddy" then? What kind of spindly, ricket-ridden, milky, wizened, dim-eyed, gammy-handed, limpy line of things will you beget?
Henry II:
It's sweet of you to care.
And when you die - which is regrettable, but necessary - what will happen to frail Alais and her pleumy prince? You can't think Richard's going to wait for your grotesque to grow.
Henry II:
You wouldn't let him do a thing like that.
Let him? I'd push him through the nursery door!
Henry II:
You're not that cruel.
Don't fret. We'll wait until you're dead to do it.
Henry II:
I found out the way your mind works and the kind of man you are. I know your plans and expectations - you've burbled every bit of strategy you've got. I know exactly what you will do, and exactly what you won't, and I've told you exactly nothing. To these aged eyes, boy, that's what winning looks like!
Prince John:
A knife! He's got a knife!
Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians! How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world.
Henry II:
Who's to say it's monstrous? I'm the King. I call it just. Therefore, I, Henry, by the Grace of God King of the English, Lord of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, Count of Anjou, Brittany, Poitou and Normandy, Maine, Gascony, and Acquitaine, do sentence you to death. Done this Christmas Day in Chinon in God's year eleven eighty-three.
When the sons, in the dungeon, think they hear Henry coming down the stairs to kill them.
He's here. He'll get no satisfaction out of us. Don't let him see you beg...Take it like a man!
You fool! As if the way one falls down matters!
Well, when the fall is all that's left, it matters a great deal.

Come Saturday Morning: The WikiLeaks Conspiracy Theory That Wasn't
|By: Phoenix Woman Saturday June 22, 2013 6:45 am
A number of people who should know better but just have massive hate-ons for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are all freaked out because WL tweeted that Hastings had contacted a WL attorney shortly before his accident to tell of his suspicions that the FBI was investigating him.
Rereading Michael Hastings' Interview with Julian Assange
|By: Kevin Gosztola Wednesday June 19, 2013 7:30 am
The sad news is being taken in by all self-respecting journalists. Someone who had a great passion for what he did and embodied the adversarial spirit that muckraking reporters should have in journalism died in a car accident at a young age. Rolling Stone contributor Michael Hastings died in a car crash in Los Angeles at the age of 33.
Media-Military-Industrial Complex Disheartened by the Petraeus Affair
|By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday November 13, 2012 5:15 pm
Revelations that now-former CIA director David Petraeus had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, have pulled into focus how the press reveres America's highest-ranked military generals. Not only does the affair itself show the folly of someone allowing his or her self to become too embedded with any one military officer but it also shows what happens when the media builds up a figure like Petraeus and then is given reason to be disappointed.
The press can barely come to grips with the fact that America has "lost" someone widely considered to be a role model for leadership among establishment journalists
How Coverage of Julian Assange Provokes Liberal Outrage
|By: Kevin Gosztola Saturday August 18, 2012 4:00 pm
Most liberals in the United States seem to prefer ignoring what is happening with WikiLeaks, particularly its founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange. Either they are totally repulsed by Assange as an individual, they do not consider WikiLeaks to have provided a valuable service by releasing previously classified documents, the way the United States government is pursuing WikiLeaks founders, owners, managers, staffers and others connected doesn't bother them or the story at this point is so complicated that they do not have the patience to sort out all the details to figure out the truth.
These various viewpoints inevitably lead to a contention that the era of WikiLeaks is over and, perhaps, the organization never really mattered that much at all.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Michael Hastings, The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan
|By: Peter W Galbraith Sunday February 12, 2012 1:59 pm
General Stanley McChrystal told journalist Michael Hastings that he wanted to be on the cover of Rolling Stone and so he was. The resulting story—describing an alcohol fueled dinner in Paris and the General's staff mocking the Obama Administration—ended McChrystal's tour as the commander of US forces in Afghanistan and his military career.
Late Night: Pouting Baby Wants to Know if Little Davey P Will Investigate Himself
|By: Jim White Thursday February 24, 2011 8:00 pm
Little Davey P is busy lying to the people in Washington again. This morning, Nice Mike Hastings had a very interesting article at Rolling Stone. He described how Bad Billy C and Screaming Greg B made Lt. Col. Holmes do mind tricks on important Washington people who were visiting Afghanistan. Mr. Jim explained it all right here and told us how Bad Billy C was probably doing this because Little Davey P wanted him to.
But now, Little Davey P is acting like he had nothing to do with the mind tricks and is calling for Bad Billy C to be investigated.
Army Psy-Ops Revelation Bears Striking Resemblance to Military-Industrial Complex Lobbying
|By: Jon Walker Thursday February 24, 2011 4:00 pm
Caldwell wanted to use a small part of the resources the Congress provided him, a $6 million psy-ops team, on Congress to in turn convince Congress to provide him with even more resources. While outrageous, this is basically just a very small scale version of how defense contractors in the military-industrial complex use political donations in the expanding growth spiral.
Psy-Ops on Senators Just Another Example of Military Illegally Manipulating Information
|By: Jim White Thursday February 24, 2011 7:45 am
Building on the success of his "The Runaway General" article that led to President Obama firing Stanley McChrystal, Michael Hastings returns to the pages of Rolling Stone with "Another Runaway General", where he exposes information operations, or Psy-Ops, on dignitaries including US Senators as they visited Afghanistan on "fact-finding" trips. What should not be missed when contemplating the illegal and immoral aspects of this information operation directed against the citizens of the country and high level government officials is that it is just one more instance in an ongoing pattern of information manipulation and outright deception on the part of the military in recent years. A few recent examples include the use of retired generals posing as independent military analysts to spout information coordinated by the Pentagon, intentional deception to cover up Special Operations troops digging bullets out of the bodies of pregnant women they killed in a night raid and the more recent claim by General Petraeus that parents intentionally burned their children in order to exaggerate injuries received in a US attack, to name just a few.
Picking and Choosing Which Journalistic Outlets to Treat as Journalistic Outlets

Tuesday, Philip Shenon reported that Wikileaks wanted the Defense Department's help reviewing the next batch of documents it will release for names that should be redacted.

rebloggin' old poopy art for Emily uwu
Remember the Sai WIP animation I had? Here it is again with more inbetweens and an added 10 or so seconds! <3 Still not done but I've been playing with the timing. This needs 10 more seconds and I am DONE DJGRJEGJTGET
Also guys, I am still drawing my characters <3 I do! I just don't post it because I want to post them in photosets haha I FILL THE VOID WITH FANART.
Some really messy sketches of a dream I had last night. This isn't everything. These are just the parts of the dream that I wanted to draw and get out of my head. I have the rest written down in my notebook including some dialogue. That glowing yellow stuff is sand. Maaaagiiic saaand oooooh *wiggly fingers*
The girl enveloped in the sand, her name is Elenore and the boy is Elliot. They're twins.
The last panel/sketch is of Elliot waking up in a sweat showing that everything that happened in the previous pictures was all a dream
or was it?
I dreamed about a character who was dreaming. Huh. Wiiieeerd
Also oops new characters/story

Just some Speckle doodles uwu
I'm debating on whether or not I want to give him a fishy tail to help him swim..
Speckle is a very good swimmer. He can't breath underwater but he IS able to hold his breath for very long amounts of time. One of his favorite pastimes is searching for undersea treasures. c:
I think I'm probably going to end up inking and coloring the underwater doodle.
art, concept, and Speckle (c) Red-Hime (me)
reblogging again because of time-zones I suppose
Sketch request for Dei! c:
I hope you don't mind that it's a bust instead of the original full body that I was drawing! I just really did not like the way that one was turning out and decided to start over. But hey look! Colors and an attempt at shading! Woo!
I hope you like it!

I decided to make a post of all 3 final images together. uwu
These aren't the only ones though! I still have to draw 2 more!
A pair of Orange and Red cyclops monster babbies.
They're twins c:
oops there I go making new characters/stories/worlds/species againdjsbfjdg
art, concept, Freeda, Speckle, and Ipso (c) Red-Hime (me)
Aaaand the last one that I finished in the stream! Woo!
I can't draw blood…
BUT I TRIED GOSHDARNIT (I'll get better with practice hopefully djfgbjdhfb)
This is Ipso. She is….not entirely stable..
There is actually A LOT that I have to say about this character! But I won't just yet. uwu
All I will say at this point is that her bright green blood glows in the dark (much like Speckle's spots) and she thinks that is really neat.
art, concept, and Ipso (c) Red-Hime (me)
Okay! So this the second of my cyclops monster babbies!
This is Speckle. He and Freeda are sort of friends (those beads were a gift from her) and his spots glow in the dark.
That's all I'm saying about him for now. uwu
art, concept, and Speckle (c) Red-Hime (me)
Hey so remember Freeda? That cyclops monster girl I drew yesterday?
Well I colored her! Aaaand once again I had so much fun experimenting that I couldn't choose between the multiple styles so I just saved and posted them all because I can jdfdfhbgjhgbI'msorry
Anyway, yes.
This is Princess Freeda. She's also kind of a brat. I figured she should be purple both because it's the initial color I thought of for her and because it symbolizes royalty so yay it works!
While drawing Freeda my imagination was running wild and then OOPS I CAME UP WITH A BUNCH MORE CYCLOPS MONSTER BABBIES
and I will be posting them shortly c:
art, concept, and Freeda (c) Red-Hime (me)
I wanted to draw monster things uwu
Her name is Freeda and she is a princess.
Now to experiment with colors! Woooo \o/
art, concept, and Freeda (c) Red-Hime (me)
I don't know

I should put here
I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out though! (until I find all the mistakes that is djnfdg)

|Introduction and Related Information
A ton of AMD related news hit over the last couple of weeks, thanks in no small part to a multi-day event AMD held in Honolulu, Hawaii the company held to showcase all of its upcoming GPU technology. GPU14 Tech Day, as AMD called it, began with a quick talk from AMD's Corporate Vice President, Visual Computing Division Raja Koduri at Diamond Head state monument, in which Mr. Koduri dismissed much of the recent doom and gloom—directed at both AMD and the PC market in general—and claimed AMD was poised for a comeback in his opinion. He also said it was his goal to better intermingle AMD's hardware and software development teams to ultimately improve the company's products, both in terms of performance and user experience.
A few other lower-end cards, namely the R7 260 and R7 250, and the uber-powerful Radeon R9 290 and 290X were also revealed during the webcast, we be weren't able to procure them just yet. It's going to be a little while longer before we can show you what AMD's latest high-end card can do, unfortunately.
AMD's Mantle is a low-level API that's designed to allow game developers to work 'closer to the metal' so to speak, to easier exploit the features and performance capabilities of AMD's GCN-based graphics processors. Mantle is being co-developed with DICE, the makers of the Frostbite engine, and will debut in a patch coming in December for Battlefield 4.
And finally there's TrueAudio. TrueAudio is a new positional and 3D spatial audio engine that will be available on the R9 290X, R9 290, and the R7 260X. To enable TrueAudio, AMD is working with audio middleware providers like Firelight Technologies (FMOD) and AudioKinetics (Wwise) to enable better positional audio that leverages a programmable audio pipeline that resides on the GPU.
|The Radeon R7 260X, R9 270X, and R9 280X
We're going to compare and contrast the Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, and Radeon R7 260X to their most closely-related cousins in the Radeon HD 7000 series, since the cards are ultimately very similar. In case you missed the news that hit last week, we should mention that the Radeon R9 280X is built around AMD's Tahiti GPU, which also powers the Radeon HD 7970. The R9 270X features the same piece of silicon as the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and the Radeon R7 260X is powered by AMD's Bonaire GPU, which first arrived on the Radeon HD 7790. These new cars, however, have been tweaked and enhanced in a number of ways.
First up we have the Radeon R7 260X. As you can see in the spec table above, the Radeon R7 260X sports higher engine and memory clocks than the HD 7790 and 260X's default memory configuration is 2GB as well. The card's higher clocks result in increased compute performance (1.97 vs. 1.79 TFLOPS) and memory bandwidth, and an increased TDP as well. Outputs on the card consist of dual, dual-link DVIs, a full sized HDMI, and a DisplayPort. Though there are only four ports, the card can power up to 6 monitors through the use of a DisplayPort MST hub. This is true for the other cards shown here as well.
Next up we have the Radeon R9 270X. The comparison between it and the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition also yields a number of similarities, and the R9 270X's clocks have been goosed up as well. The R9 270X's GPU clock peaks at up to 1.05GHz and its memory clock has been increased to an effective 5.6Gbps. Versus the 1GHz and 4.8Gbps of the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, the Radeon R9 270X offers slightly higher compute performance (as seen in the table), but much more memory bandwidth--179.2GB/s vs. 153.6GB/s to be exact.
And finally we have the Radeon R9 280X. The large image above is of a reference card, but word on the street is that virtually all R9 280X cards sold by AMD's AIB partners will feature custom designs, like the XFX card also pictured above.
|Test System and Unigine Heaven v4.0
How We Configured Our Test Systems: We tested the graphics cards in this article on an Asus P9X79 Deluxe motherboard powered by a Core i7-3960X six-core processor and 16GB of G.SKILL DDR3-1866 RAM. The first thing we did when configuring the test system was enter the system UEFI and set all values to their "high performance" default settings and disable any integrated peripherals that wouldn't be put to use. The memory's X.M.P. profile was enabled to ensure better-than-stock performance and the hard drive was then formatted and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 was installed. When the installation was complete, we fully updated the OS and installed the latest DirectX redist along with all of the drivers, games, and benchmark tools necessary to complete our tests.
We have a boatload of performance data to share with you all on the proceeding pages. We thought it would be best to test AMD's newest cards alongside the models they'll be replacing using the same set of drivers--in this case the Catalyst 13.11 betas--along with competing products from NVIDIA, ranging from the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost to the GeForce GTX 780. We'd also like to point out that all of the GeForces were tested with the just recently released v331.40 drivers too. What all that means is that these numbers are as up-to-date as they could be as of this publication. If you'd like to see how everything from the Radeon HD 7790 to the GeForce GTX 780 perform with identical settings, we've got you covered.
|3DMark Fire Strike Test
3DMark Fire Strike paints AMD's latest Radeon cards in a favorable light. The Radeon R9 280X performed right about on par with (though slightly behind) the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition and just a hair better than the GeForce GTX 770. The Radeon HD 760X had no trouble outpacing the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and GeForce GTX 660, though the GTX 760 was markedly faster. The Radeon R7 260X, however, was only able to overtake the outmatched Radeon HD 7790.
|Alien vs. Predator Performance
Our Alien vs. Predator numbers look very much like the 3DMark Fire Strike numbers on the previous page. The performance trend was identical, though the Radeon R7 260X came somewhat closer to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost this time around.
Click for full resolution
The performance data recorded with FCAT (Frame Capture Analysis Tools) doesn't show any major issues with any of the cards. The cadence was similar from card to card, though obviously the higher-performing products offered much lower frame latencies across the board.
|Metro Last Light Performance
The performance trend in the Metro Last Light benchmark looks much like Alien vs. Predator on the previous page. The Radeon R9 280X was slightly faster than the Radeon HD 7970, the R9 270X outran the Radeon HD 7870, and the R7 260X essentially tied with the Radeon HD 7790. Sitting in the pole position, however, was NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 780.
Save for some inconsistency about in the middle of the run with the lowest-end Radeons (the R7 260X and HD 7790), our FCAT data doesn't show anything to be concerned about.
|Bioshock Infinite Performance
The new Radeon R9 and R7 series cards performed relatively well in Bioshock Infinite, but didn't particularly impress. The R9 280X trailed the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition and high-end GeForces, while the Radeon R7 260X performed right about on-par with (though somewhat better than) the Radeon HD 7790. The Radeon R9 270X, however, showed measurable gains over the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and hung right alongside the GeForce GTX 660.
The Radeons showed a number of large spikes in frame time about 3/4 of the way into the benchmark run, and a few of the cards showed some weirdness at the beginning as well. Save for the GTX 650 Ti, no such problems to report with the GeForces, however.
|Sleeping Dogs Performance
The Radeon R9 280X performed relatively well in this benchmark, outpacing the GeForce GTX 770 overall. The R9 270X also performed well and clearly outperformed the GeForce GTX 660. The extra frame buffer memory also helped the Radeon R7 270X here and allowed it to outshine the Radeon HD 7790 and GeForce GTX 60 Ti Boost at the higher resolution.
Save for the Radeon HD 7790's big spike in frame time at the beginning of the run, there's not much to report on in these FCAT results.
|Hitman: Absolution Performance
The results from our Hitman Absolution tests are a mirror of many others we've seen up to this point. The new Radeon R9 280X trailed the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition by a small margin, the Radeon R9 270X performed right about on-par with or slightly better than the GeForce GTX 760, and the Radeon R7 260X clearly outpaced the Radeon HD 7790, but fell victim to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost.
With the exception of the Radeon HD 7790, which was saddled with only a 1GB frame buffer and had some significant swings in frame latency, all of the cards pumped out frames with a similar cadence in this game. Though, obviously, the higher-performing cards cranked out the frames at a quicker rate.
|Crysis 3 Performance
The performance trend in Crysis 3 was very similar to some of the other games we tested. Here, the Radeon R9 280X finished right alongside the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, but the Radeon R9 270X and R7 260X had no trouble dismantling (get it!) the 7870 GHz Edition and 7790.
Once again, the Radeon HD 7790's 1GB frame buffer significantly hindered its performance, as evidenced by the rocky frame times. Nothing out of the ordinary to report with the other cards, though.
|Power Consumption and Noise
|Before bringing this article to a close, we'd like to cover a few final data points--namely, power consumption, temperatures, and noise. Throughout all of our benchmarking and testing, we monitored acoustics and tracked how much power our test system was consuming using a power meter. Our goal was to give you an idea of how much power each configuration used while idling and also while under a heavy workload. Please keep in mind that we were testing total system power consumption at the outlet here, not just the power being drawn by the graphics cards alone.
Under both idle and load conditions, the new Radeon R9 and R7 series cards all consumed somewhat less power than their closest Radeon HD 7000-series based counterparts, though the differences weren't dramatic. Considering how similar the cards are, it should come as no surprise that power consumption is similar as well.
|Our Summary and Conclusion
Performance Summary: The new Radeon R9 and R7 cards we tested performed right in-line with our expectations coming into this article. Considering the fact that the Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, and R7 260X are all based on GPUs previous available in the Radeon HD 7000 series, it's not surprising that the cards performed similarly to their most closely-related cousins, specifically the Radeon HD 7970, HD 7870, and the HD 7790.
AMD's latest salvo of Radeons don't feature new silicon or blaze new trails through our benchmarks, but rather are refinements of an existing architecture that improve upon the company's previous generation products in a number of key ways.
The Radeon R9 280X will be priced around $299, the Radeon R9 270X at around $199, and the Radeon R7 260X at $139. At those prices, the R9 280X is priced in-line with the GeForce GTX 760, which the R9 280X handily outperformed. In fact, the R9 280X performed more like the pricier GeForce GTX 770. The Radeon R9 270X is priced in-line with the GeForce GTX 660, which it too had no trouble outperforming overall, though recent price drops have brought the GTX 660's price down 10% or so. The Radeon R7 260X is priced on-par with the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost, but this matchup easily went to NVIDIA according to our numbers. We should also point out that the GTX 650 Ti Boost's price was recently lowered, which certainly helped NVIDIA's value proposition at the card's new price point (which has dropped to as low as $129 after rebates).
