VICTORIA -- Merle Fager has been drawing since he was a Hays High School student.
At Fort Hays State University, he started in the communications department majoring in theater.
It wasn't a good fit.
"I was working my way through school, and they kind of wanted you to spend the afternoons working on sets and stuff," he said.
Someone suggested he show his design sketches to an art faculty member.
He did and was offered a scholarship.
"Fine art isn't the easiest to make a living at," Fager said.
So he turned to graphic design as a career, keeping painting and drawing as a hobby.
His first sale, a commissioned oil painting of a hunting dog, came while he was a student.
"I threw out a figure of $300," he said. "It paid for my books that semester."
That led to other commissions. His work has found homes as far away as Florida.
At first, he painted mostly landscapes and paintings or drawings of houses.
Then his pencil drawings, some of them caricatures, started getting noticed.
Though he still works in both oils and pencil, because of the increased cost in money and time for an oil painting, most of his work now is pencil drawings.
While his commissioned pieces come mostly from someone who's seen his work, he does some for close family, like the one of his granddaughter, Reanna.
"I took the picture and did a drawing of it," Fager said.
He prefers to take the photos himself, but sometimes it's not possible when the piece is meant to be a surprise. Then he works from others' photos.
"I always ask them not to use a professional photographer's photo because it's always posed," he said. "The lighting isn't the way I want it, and there's copyright issues."
Even if someone else takes the photo, he asks to meet the person he's drawing.
"If I can do them in three dimensions, I have a better idea, otherwise I'm just doing a drawing of a photo," he said. "Proportion is difficult, but human beings are experts on human beings, so we know when something's not right."
Photos are portable and accessible any time.
"When I draw, it's 11 o'clock at night, so they're not coming to my house to pose anyway, and if it's ... children, they're not going to stay posed anyway," Fager said.
He enjoys trying different smudging techniques and playing with lines and blending.
"I'm always experimenting," he said. "I don't see that I have a distinctive style in my stuff."
He can get a pencil drawing out and work on it for half an hour, then put it away. The work also goes quickly.
In eight to 12 hours, "working evenings over a couple of weeks, and it's done."
It takes more time to get out the necessary tools and complete a painting.
"Every time you get it out, you've got to clean your brushes, so there's a little more to the time involved," Fager said.
After it's painted, it takes a couple days to a couple months to get it dry.
"When I'm doing something for other people, they'll want something for Christmas, and they're calling me in October."
Painting landscapes in oils gives him a chance to experiment with technique, though.
"When you're doing portraits, you're worried about likeness and making them look real," Fager said.
A current project, a painting of St. Fidelis Cathedral, is one he's had in mind for a long time.
"I walked around town and kept taking (photos of) it at different times of day," he said.
The light changes in the course of a day, but he's found it appears very dramatic at twilight when the shadows start turning blue and purple.
Fager has shown his work at a few events and welcomes commissions.
However, he isn't likely to make the leap to full-time artist any time soon.
"My family's always come first, so this is a hobby in my spare time."

Haim Fling Their Hair, Casually Transcend at the Fillmore
Damn Right 'It's Album Time': House Whiz Todd Terje Drops a Booty Bomb
For the last decade, Oslo DJ/producer Todd Terje has indulged scholarly fetishes for '60s lounge music, '70s disco/prog/jazz-fusion, '80s TV show themes, and '90s electronica, yet his buoyant output resists the weight of history: The dude rocks a party with rollicking flair. He's got the sensibility to impress serious music heads — his 2012 EP It's the Arps was performed exclusively on vintage ARP synths, the sort favored by '70s jazzbos — yet his sunny mutant grooves remain fundamentally fun.
Burning Down the House: Read SPIN's 1986 Feature on Chicago's Club Scene
"Burning Down the House" originally appeared in SPIN's November 1986 issue.To get to Imports Etc. you once had to walk through a garage. Now you just need to know where it is. Located on a side street in Chicago's Printers Row, the city's only record store dealing exclusively in dance music hangs its little yellow sign on a sealed-off garage door. New 12-inch singles share bin space with old Philadelphia soul and obscure Italian imports that sell to collectors for up to $20. Most of Imports Etc.'s customers are DJs. They come here for house music. At C.O.D., a dark, run-down juice bar on Chicago's North Side, DJ Frankie Knuckles spins for a cramped room full of sweaty blacks jacking their bodies in furious sexual pantomime until eight AM. Knuckles drops out everything from a Teddy Pendergrass record except the voice.
Pharrell Walks on Pop-R&B Sunshine With the Daring, Infectious 'G I R L'
The son of a schoolteacher, Pharrell Williams loves assignments. How else to explain why one of the most audacious songs attached to his name was crafted for a cartoon?I'm not talking about "Happy," the refreshingly joyous yet slyly sophisticated anthem currently topping the charts, but initially heard in last summer's Despicable Me 2. I mean 2010's "Fun, Fun, Fun," from the first movie. Here's a guy behind countless hits for hip-hop's elite — club bangers both rugged and dexterous, like the arm muscles of triple-cartwheeling gymnasts — and he flips a 180 and crafts a song so giddy that it makes the surf-era Beach Boys sound like sad sacks. It's like mainlining a rainbow.That lighter-than-helium vibe is all over G I R L, the most audacious milestone in the Neptunes/N.E.R.D. icon's already storied career.
Broken Bells Bark at the Moon on the Nervy, Red-Blooded 'After the Disco'
Despite their masterfully rendered melancholic psych-pop, similarly wistful sci-fi videos, and respective indie-rock and hip-hop credentials, Broken Bells are ultimately about The Cinema. Shins frontman James Mercer sees himself as a Coen Brothers-style black-comedy anti-hero inevitably upended and emasculated by fate; Gnarls Barkley musician-producer Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton is to pop music what guys like Wes Anderson are to film — an auteur who puts his authorial stamp on every genre he touches, thrilling fans and enraging detractors in equal measure.What they create from this symbiotic union doesn't exactly fit the Hollywood model for success, even though they've each achieved more than their share. Both got unconventional breaks — Mercer via Zach Braff's gushing Garden State Shins plug; Burton through his ingeniously blasphemous Beatles/Jay Z Grey Album mash-up.
Britney Spears Goes Blanker Than Usual on the Nightmarish 'Britney Jean'
Early on, I discovered that an inordinate number of fantastic '90s singles by Army of Lovers, E-Type, Ace of Base, Robyn, Backstreet Boys, and 'N Sync all involved this Swedish guy, Max Martin. So when his greatest hit of them all — Britney Spears' "…Baby One More Time" — arrived in 1998, I was more than ready. Primed by the Catholic schoolgirl/minx character that Spears flaunted in the video, I expected the soon-to-be-megastar who'd just turned 17 to explode off the stage when she opened up for 'N Sync right before the release of her first album.Instead, a lost little waif in a baggy orange jumpsuit resembling an inmate's uniform dutifully stumbled through the motions with a face that flashed between utter blankness and barely repressed trauma, foreshadowing her post-fame 2007-2008 meltdown.
Blood Orange's 'Cupid Deluxe' Is a Marvel of Sweetly Pained, Outsider-Oriented R&B
Born in Texas, raised in London, and academy-educated, Devonté Hynes, like all his gay friends, was severely bullied. So in 2004, when some other buds asked the then-18-year-old to join their dance-punk trio, they pointedly called themselves the Test Icicles. Ridiculously noisy U.K.
Moby Plays to His Strengths Again (Finally!) on the Surprisingly Soulful 'Innocents'
A ridiculously easy target for would-be Eminems everywhere, Moby, by virtue of his wild popularity and innate friendliness, long ago became one of those acts — like his kindred civilized buds in Weezer — that somehow became essential for latent and blatant hotheads to bully. His only crimes are either deviating from what he does best or coasting on substandard versions of what he once did far better. But every post-peak musician is guilty of that; Moby's music just gets better media/product placement because it's just so inherently cinematic and, in multiple senses, commercial. He's the John Williams of EDM.Yet just when probably even his accountant had written him off as a has-been hack, Richard Melville Hall has finally created something that approaches the awe-striking beauty of Play, his career-making, ad-campaign-buoying 1999 masterwork.
Icona Pop (We Love It) and Krewella (We Don't): Two Heroic, Sis-Centric Punk-Pop LPs
Icona Pop, This Is... Icona Pop (TEN/Big Beat) 7Krewella, Get Wet (Columbia) 3Sisterhood is both pop's secret subject and the engine that powers it. Without that electric collectivity that crackles between young women, there would be no boy bands, no Biebers, no Beatlemania, no riot grrrls, and not much dancing at music festivals, just smelly dudes pushing and puking. Sis-mance also binds girl groups — it willingly burns brightly, but just as easily burns out: Heed the rise and fall of Spice Girls, t.A.T.u., and the Pussycat Dolls to name three of its most exploitative examples.So it's striking that two far more organic manifestations of sis-mance sounds, Icona Pop and Krewella, are hitting simultaneously. Stockholm's Icona Pop started four years ago when Aino Jawo, then experiencing her first breakup, was taken to a party thrown by Caroline Hjelt, then nursing a broken leg.
Franz Ferdinand's 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action' Is a Marvel of Relaxing Tension
Franz Ferdinand broke with Britpop the same way the Strokes declared war against mook rock. The Glasgow foursome studied art. They dressed up. They sang of sex and struck their guitars like drums, beating out a death knell to everything baggy, undisciplined, and unambitious. All that hooky tension gave them a groove, and by touring nonstop behind their spanking first two albums in 2004 and '05, they wound it tighter than any rhythm-centric rock band since the '70s punks actually learned to play their instruments, give or take a few Hives and Futureheads jams.Unfortunately, things got so tight that they gave themselves no room to move.

Problems keep piling up for the still-in-limbo production of the massive new Julie Taymor-directed musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Although the troubled tuner, which features songs by U2's Bono and The Edge, still has its Peter Parker (Reeve Carney), the show has now lost both of its "name" stars. Following Evan Rachel Wood's departure comes the news that Alan Cumming is also out of the production. Cumming cited his busy schedule with the CBS drama The Good Wife as the reason for his inability to stay with the production to play Spiderman's nemesis, the Green Goblin. Spider-Man still has yet to set a date for its Broadway opening.

Platinum gives up half of gains since 2008.
A Forex trading technical analysis video showing this week's dip to a new low for the year ($1321) after closing on a weekly basis below important long term support at $1385. This means spot Platinum has given up half of the gains seen since the rally started in 2008 (after a dramatic collapse from a high at $2290 eight months earlier). As we expect the ratio to gold to drop from this year's high at 1.08 to parity, we feel there is a chance that the drop that started in February will continue on down to $1285 where spot Gold currently trades.

Are Americans Really Living in Fear and Trembling?
By Susan Sample It's invisible, intangible and highly contagious, and it can't be detected by the most sophisticated technology available. The newest weapon of mass destruction unleashed throughout America is fear. Since 9/11, the nation has been seized with an overwhelming, paralyzing fear--if we're to believe headlines in news magazines, special in-depth television reports, even call-in shows on public radio. Old, young, rural, urban, Americans are said to be suffering psychiatric repercussions, ranging from anxiety disorders to depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), like never before. "This is no surprise. With each new traumatic event, we attempt to make it into the gold standard, when, in fact, an increase in psychopathology, especially in those personally connected to a trauma, goes back to the days of Mesopotamia," said David A. Tomb, M.D., professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine. "It's been around forever under different names." "9/11 had unique features, but if we look at the big picture, is it different from other traumas? No. What we're noticing is that it's not the average person who is having a tough time. They're troubled by it, concerned that it may escalate into something worse, but it hasn't affected them on a daily basis to the point where they can't sleep or go to work." People suffering the most from 9/11, excluding individuals directly exposed to the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, are those with a biological predisposition to anxiety and/or depression, or those who have experienced traumatic events in the past. "The nervous system is altered by trauma," explained Tomb. "The anatomy of the brain changes. It becomes wired differently, so it will pick up events and manifest as a relapse. For the practice of psychiatry, this means we look more carefully at people who fall in the categories of having a predisposition to depression or having a past experience of trauma. We ask more questions, because these people are at risk." The U of U psychiatrist, who has been studying responses to traumatic events for 15 years, has found that "as long as people thought of the effects of trauma as associated only with war, terrorism, and torture, they neglected the majority of psychiatric repercussions." Even PTSD, recognized in response to the suffering of Vietnam war veterans, is still undergoing revision in terms of understanding its specific criteria and official diagnosis. "We are gradually learning, a caveat I'd put in caps, that there is a new nomenclature. What we've discovered over time is that people who've seen combat in war are different from people who have suffered other traumas, such as losing a limb or child in a car accident, being raped or severely burned, or surviving a hurricane or flood. There may be a close clinical association, but they are experiencing different kinds of trauma in terms of duration, post-accident support, and treatment." The most common response to 9/11 hasn't been PTSD, but depression. A New England Journal of Medicine survey of residents in Manhattan, conducted 5-7 weeks after the Twin Towers collapsed, found that 7.6 percent of the population met the criteria for PTSD, compared to 10 percent for depression. That's what psychiatrists would expect, according to Tomb. Every year, 4-4.5 percent of Americans will experience major depression; the percentage of people traumatized will be twice that, but most will not develop PTSD. Although several professional groups are devoted to studying how best to treat victims of trauma, "unfortunately, they're not of one mind," said Tomb. "The conditions are so individualized. It's incredibly complex to develop a set way of dealing with bad things that occur. It's definitely a major issue for psychiatry and psychology." The threat of bioterrorism seems to bring with it another kind of crippling fear. "If a population is being terrorized by what might happen, they may display mass hysteria," said Tomb. "Mass hysteria, in a way, is like hypnotizing a large group of people who all come to believe the same thing. That kind of phenomenon is real, but it occurs in a subset of the population: the highly suggestible group." About 10 percent of people fit into this category. "They avoid the nightly news on TV, because they might hear of a shooting. They'll have difficulty sleeping for two to three days after an incident, due to fear. These are very bright, intelligent, rational adults," said Tomb. "They're just very suggestible." They're also very "hypnotizable." Yet, as Tomb explained, "a clinical hypnotist or a good stage hypnotist can make nine out of 10 people temporarily suggestible. By using all the tricks, we can get them to hypnotize themselves. "This is not magic. Lightning bolts don't come out of our fingers into the core of their brains. They are encouraged to enter a state that is quite unfamiliar to them. They feel as though they have entered a different kind of consciousness, which they have." Repeated exposure to threats and implied danger can affect people in ways similar to hypnosis, increasing their suggestibility. "Repeated trauma will move the bar to the lower 30 percent of the population, maybe even to half of all people, depending upon how close they are to the trauma, how many stimuli or reminders are surrounding them, and the amount of grief they've been exposed to. "Given the right conditions, mass hysteria can be induced. Basically, if people are exposed and re-exposed, they will develop a sense of imminent danger. If anthrax had kept coming in letters, it could have been a nightmare. Large numbers of people could have become desperate to have been made safe." But just as mass hysteria can be induced, it can be prevented. "You do it through something as simple and matter-of-fact as education: describing the phenomenon of mass hysteria. If you educate people well, you can quiet the tendency to become overly suggestible in the majority of people." Although the mass media in recent months has reported epidemics of anxiety in America, a study published in the December 2001 issue of Military Medicine reported that "disorganized flight" in the presence of real or perceived danger (i.e., mass panic) is rare. On the other hand, in a real or perceived WMD scenario, outbreaks of multiple unexplained symptoms may be prevalent. Many of the symptoms (fatigue, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness/lightheadedness, and anorexia) are common in combat and after toxic chemical exposure, chemical weapon exposure, prodromal infectious illness, and acute radiation sickness." "You're not likely to quiet the most suggestible 5 percent of people. They'll still feel short of breath and have anxious and hysteric kinds of responses," said Tomb. "But you can help 95 percent of folks with repeated, sensible, matter-of-fact education. When you're talking about mass hysteria, the media can be the devil and the cure." We always welcome your comments about the magazine.

Mon 5th May, 2008 Lifestyle
inIt hasn't even been one full day and already Big Brother has a sex scandal… Porn photos of 24-year-old housemate Rima Hadchiti – the one metre tall belly dancer from Melbourne – are being circulated on the internet.
The explicit shots come from www.ishotmyself.com – a public art project that makes a bold statement about nudity, fame and internet. The site displays naked self-portraits, shots of "women in control of their own image. It's also performance art, it's fun, it's liberating, and it's reality."
According to Rima's Big Brother bio, "She's feisty, outspoken and opinionated with a dry sense of humour. Married for just a year, Rima's husband is excited about her decision to go into the Big Brother house. She's a small package with a big personality."
Big Brother's first eviction show takes place tonight 7pm on Channel Ten.

It's customary for a film critic to include some sort of plot synopsis with his review. But no traditional capsule summary could do justice to Eszterhas's lowbrow genius. Therefore I've decided to forgo convention and simply recap the entire story by quoting lines of actual dialogue from Showgirls. Setup: An aspiring "dancer" comes to Vegas, loses all her money, becomes a stripper, and auditions for a flesh-and-flash revue at the Stardust, one of the city's hotel-casinos. For maximum effect, mouth these lines out loud to yourself:
"Lose all your money, honey? Wanna make some more?"
"Sooner or later you're gonna have to sell it."
"Life sucks. Shit happens."
"If you wanna last more'n a week, you gotta give me a blowjob."
"First I get you used to the money. Then I make you swallow."
"You got more natural talent than any dancer I ever seen."
"You're fuckin' without fuckin'. It ain't right!"
"Come back when you've fucked some of that baby fat off."
"I'm erect. Why aren't you erect?"
"You got into some bad shit someplace, didn't you?"
"She's got it." "I wonder how she got it." "She learned it." "She learned it all right. But they don't teach it in any class."
"Look, I have a problem with pussy. I always have and I always will."
"I used to love Doggy Chow!" "I used to love Doggy Chow, too!"
"Best piece of advice anyone ever gave me, honey -- if you're the last one standing, you get the job."
"You have great tits. They're really beautiful."
"Saw the show. You were good, kid. Real good. Must be weird not having anyone come on you."
"I liked it when you came. I liked your eyes."
"We gotta shut the show down." "Not a chance! The show goes on!"
"There's always someone younger and hungrier than you are coming down the stairs."
It took writing, acting, and directing of unprecedented ineptitude to make a movie so bad that a steady parade of gorgeous nude bodies cannot offset the tedium. Nearly all of those nekkid bods are female, of course. Once again the old Hollywood double standard applies; there is no male frontal nudity, and only one shot of actor Kyle MacLachlan's unremarkable derriäre to compensate for beaucoup de bare breasts. But even candid closeups of Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas au naturel couldn't have saved this bomb. Don't be fooled by advertising copy warning you to "leave your inhibitions at the door." The film fails both as lurid trash and as erotic revel. Showgirls damn near gives movie nudity a bad name.
The most provocative element of Showgirls is its marketing campaign. Don't worry about your inhibitions -- check your credulity at the door. This is a movie that exalts headlining a Vegas revue as if it were as newsworthy and as estimable an accomplishment as starring in a Broadway musical; Showgirls brazenly equates cavorting about in a garish spectacle with serious dance. More egregiously, the promise of titillation is all peep-show come-on. I applaud the filmmakers and distributors for having the guts to flaunt their NC-17 rating; if the movie had been any good, it might have persuaded other filmmakers (or, more to the point, their distributors) not to cave in and edit controversial works to suit the whims and fancies of the capricious, hypocritical, and woefully sexually repressed ratings board. Unfortunately Showgirls is such garbage that it stands a much higher chance of getting creamed at the box office than it would have had it lived up to its own hype.
As for putative star Elizabeth Berkley's motion picture "acting" debut, let's just say that if you harbor fond memories of her days on the television sitcom Saved by the Bell, you should not sully them by witnessing her degrading (not degrading because the things she's pretending to do are so naughty -- rather, degrading because she's so horrible) performance here. Berkley gets one thing right -- she's limber. But as a thespian she makes Pia Zadora look like Meryl Streep. Her big line, repeated over and over: "I'm not a whore." Berkley utters those words so many times that she apparently overextended herself experimenting with the phrasing: "I'm not a whore!" "I'm not a whore!" "I'm not a whore!" Bet you can't guess her character's big secret....
She should be saying "I'm not a dancer!" Berkley does a pretty good approximation of a stripper, but in a nightclub and during tryouts for the revue at the Stardust she moves like a spastic karate instructor, flailing her arms and stomping about gracelessly. While she has a good figure -- and while just about every part of her body receives plenty of exposure -- the feature of her anatomy you'll most remember is her tongue. Showgirls showcases Berkley's lingual dexterity; her lengthy appendage slithers up a brass pole in a strip club, curls down to lick her own nipples, and slides into several eager mouths. (I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but I've never seen a stripper lick the pole -- after all, she knows where it's been.)

I'm afraid you guys just lost a fan in Richard Armitage...he LOOKS like Cadvan, but then I watched him on youtube and heard his voice...
AND NO! JUST! NOOOOOOOOO!!!! RA is cockney! Cadders CANNOT be cockney! Maybe you americans and aussies like it (from what i have discovered, lots you you like the UK accent...for some...totally...unknown...reason...), but cockney? No. Cadvan should sound...very English maybe. Or have a slight Italian or French accent...*drools*
What d'y'all reckon?
August 21st, 2008, 10:32 AM #1502
Definately not a cockney! Just no!
But i'm sure he could do a non-cockney accent!
I think he just needs to sound neutral!
August 21st, 2008, 10:41 AM #1503
No, Cadvan's not cockney...
But Stenny, what is "neutral"? To someone from the US it's an American accent, but to me it's English. It's difficult to say. Personally I agree with Jennistar.
August 21st, 2008, 10:49 AM #1504
Well, Ben Barnes managed a Spanish accent okay in Prince Caspian...maybe RA can do the same.
I would say 'neutral' was what they called RP - which is Received Pronounciation, basically an accent in its purest form. So the sort of accent that newscasters speak with, or politicians make announcements with. Usually RP is associated with English, but I suppose it could stretch to American or Australian accents. When I was in Australia, I found that newscasters and other formal people (wow, great use of the English Language there Jennistar!) tend to talk with a slightly English accent...which was amusing for a UK dude for me to hear!
August 21st, 2008, 10:50 AM #1505
I don't know really, I guess it would be difficult to get a 'neutral' accent, everyone has their own preferences i guess.
I don't really have an accent, and i'm not just saying that, people have told me that before! They can never work out where I'm from. lol
August 21st, 2008, 10:54 AM #1506
Personally, I always thought Cadvan would sound a little...well, 'posh'. I mean, he's meant to be a great Bard, and he acts all arrogant at times, so I could see him getting on his high horse and being snobby...but at the same time he needs to have a warmth to his voice that encourages common village folk to respond to him and not be intimidated by his high status...hmm...and his voice needs to be deep, just because thats sexiful .
I have a mixed accent thanks to my gap year...I have American, NZ and quite a bit of Australian. My friends make me say 'Australia' all the time because it sounds so Australian lol
August 21st, 2008, 10:55 AM #1507
Yeah, I think i agree with that, all sexiful!
August 21st, 2008, 11:42 AM #1508
I think everyone agrees with that...
Sorry, but I still love RA, voice and all. However, there are voice coaches that can be hired to teach accents. I think they did that with LOTR and other movies.....
August 21st, 2008, 11:45 AM #1509
I'm sure he doesn't sound cockney in robin hood, or in the Vicar of dibley

I've never heard of "cockney" before. Is there a specific video on youtube where you can hear his "cockney" accent?
August 21st, 2008, 12:09 PM #1511
Ack! I can't remember where I found it! It was on my friend's laptop...RA was doing an interview...I shall search sometime for you guys...
August 21st, 2008, 12:15 PM #1512
That's really strange then if he did sound cockney, i mean, he's from Leicester. (That's central England for people who don't know) I live near leicester and i don't know anyone round here who sounds cockney lol
August 21st, 2008, 01:20 PM #1513
August 21st, 2008, 11:13 PM #1514
There are tons of interviews with him on YouTube.
He starts talking about 20 seconds in, I don't know about you guys, but I quite like his voice . If it is "cockney", I don't think it's very pronounced.
One of the things I've noticed about RA is that in real life he speaks quite softly, much softer than when he's in character. I get the feeling he's actually quite a reserved and shy person.Last edited by Gemini; August 21st, 2008 at 11:15 PM.

London-based Foster + Partners released their design for the 2015 Milan Expo United Arab Emirates pavilion.
"The design reflects our investigations into the form of ancient cities and our appreciation for the desert landscape," said Norman Foster, the firm's chairman and founder, in a press release. "It also maximizes the opportunities presented by the elongated site – the dramatic canyon-like entrance will welcome people inside, and the channels between the high walls provide intuitive circulation, naturally leading visitors to the auditorium, exhibition and restaurant spaces."

I had the pleasure of photographing little baby Alexa just after she arrived home to her adoptive family. She is joined by several older brothers and sisters, and a mom and dad who couldn't be more thrilled to have a baby in the house again. She was so sweet and I loved her beautiful dark hair, big bright eyes, and adorably squishy lips.

text: The off season has been a quick one and I couldn't be more excited for the season to start up again. After participating in the Arizona Fall League I returned home in November and immediately started working out and preparing for this upcoming season. I've been working on fine tuning all the aspects of game that will help me succeed at the next level. I have been training at New Jersey Sports Advantage where they have cages, weights, and a track so I can get everything I need done there. My off season has exactly 2 weeks left as I just found out a couple days ago that I was invited to the Seattle Mariner's minor league mini camp which will start up on February 15th. I will be departing for Arizona on the 14th ( my girlfriend is not very happy about the date they chose to send us out there as that is valentines day). After thinking about it and trying different models I decided I will start off the season swinging the Viper JH5 model. I tried it out last year and I like the way it felt in my hand and the barrel it has. I'm hoping for good things this year and I will be reporting back once Spring Training gets under way.

In an odd turn of events, Bossier City Police Department have arrested Christopher T Groomes, 26, the husband of the victim, Judy Groomes, 25. Judy Groomes was supposed to be deployed for the Air Force and had her husband shoot her in the leg to avoid deployment.
Christopher Groomes has been arrested for illegal use of a weapon and his was received a summons for criminal mischief for the early morning shooting. Groomes has since been booked into the Bossier City Jail.
Bossier City Police department is currently investigating a shooting where a woman was shot in her leg.
Early this morning, police responded to a call on the 1100 block of Clarence St. in Bossier City, where a woman had been shot by a man in her living room. According to Bossier City Police Public Information Officer Mark Natale, the only description that the victim was able to give is that the suspect is male.
At this time, police are still on the crime scene, looking for evidence. There does not seem to be any sign of forced entry into a home and in this early stage of the investigation, police are not calling this a home invasion.
The woman's husband and children were in the home during the shooting, but they were not injured.
Fox 33 was the only station at the location when the victim came home from the hospital. She was limping, but appeared to be otherwise fine.
We will continue to update this story as we have news.

The authors present an introduction to the new interdisciplinary area of aesthetic computing and proceed to define this area with examples from each of their own disciplines, practices and research. While several decades of publication and work have resulted in significant advancements in art as implemented through technology, less emphasis has been placed on studying the converse issue of art's effect on computing, or "aesthetic computing." The authors present their individual work in this area and then follow with brief criticism of one another's work to elucidate different perspectives on the idea. By approaching the topic of aesthetic computing in this manner, the paper serves as an introduction to and survey and analysis of the field.

by Alexander Hrabe Five drivers and a whole lotta power handling Kenwood's Performance Series KFC-6995PS 6"x9" speakers employ a 5-way design to give you articulate lows, clean vocals, and startling highs, thanks to a division of labor between a 2-3/4" paper cone midrange driver, a balanced-dome tweeter, and two smaller supertweeters. This arrangement allows these speakers to handle up to 125 watts RMS, which is some serious power handling for a speaker in the price range. A whole new speaker These 6"x9" speakers feature a water-resistant paper cone woofer with a new radial rib pattern, which increases speaker strength and delivers more responsive bass. The addition of a rubber surround ensures a new level of overall durability, so you'll be enjoying that fresh-from-the-box sound for years. Kenwood engineered a smoother listening experience with the Acoustic Sound Harmonizer, which uses slots on the mount housing the midrange, tweeter, and supertweeters to improve the progression into the higher frequencies. Grilles are included for custom installations. Highlights:6"x9" 5-way speakers (pair)multi-driver system includes 2-3/4" paper cone midrange, 1/2" PET balanced dome tweeter, and two supertweetersAcoustic Sound Harmonizer improves response in the 3000 to 4000 Hz rangegrilles includedpower range: 2-125 watts RMS (650 watts peak power)impedance: 4 ohmsfrequency response: 60-20,000 Hzsensitivity: 88 dBtop-mount depth: 3-1/16"warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

The mids and highs come in clear on them. I can only imagine what these monsters would sound like with an amp! Measure well though! These are bulky speakers. Pros: Everything. Especially for $100
Awesome sound at an affordable price! Written By ISTAYLIFTED, Tacoma,WA on Monday, July 14, 2014 Ive had these for 2 1/2 years and theyre still sounding great. I dont ever see 5 Way Speakers when shopping, and the highest RMS I find is 75-90. So with these pushing 125 RMS, youre sure to be bragging and boastin to strangers when they hear you pull in.

Cowboys Storm the Link, Defeat the Eagles
POSTED: Sunday, November 11, 2012 - 9:26pm
UPDATED: Sunday, November 11, 2012 - 10:35pm
The Link, or Lincoln Financial Field, used to be a tough place to play, but this isn't your father's Philadelphia Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys used plenty of defense and special teams, accounting for three touchdowns, in a 38-23 Cowboys victory, a must needed victory if you are a Cowboys fan. Dallas improved to 4-5, while Philadelphia dropped to 3-6. Tony Romo was 19-26 for 209 yards and two touchdowns.
"It was big. Our backs were against the wall. We understood the importance level of this game. Our team had the right approach all week and they committed to what needed to be done to win this game," said Romo.
Dez Bryant caught a touchdown pass, then Dwayne Harris returned a punt 78 yards for a touchdown, then Brandon Carr with a 47-yard interception helped seal the victory.
"Oh it was a critical win for us you know we had to come up here against a division rival and win at their place and again it was going to take a team effort. I thought our team worked really hard this week in practice, and I thought they were focused, I thought they were focused throughout the ballgame. I thought it was a good game by our team early on after they went down and scored on the first drive to come back and answer and just play football. We understand that it was going to be a 60-minute game and there were going to be some highs and lows, some ups and downs, but you've got to play through them and when you have success, you've got to play through it and when you adversity you have to play through it, and today's game was a good example of that again within each unit but also across our whole football team."
Eagle Quarterback Michael Vick got a concussion in the second quarter and did not return, turning the reigns over to Rookie QB Nick Foles out of Arizona, who was 22-32 for 219 yards.
Next week, Dallas hosts Cleveland.

Between The Buried & Me
Merging unparalleled musical bravery, prodigious musicianship, flawless execution and an angular landscape of forward thinking ideas, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME (aka BTBAM) reinvent the rock 'n roll idiom while pleasing their harshest critics: themselves. Joining metal's dexterity and progressive rock's psychedelic, multi-layered experimentation, BTBAM (whose name was inspired by a line of lyrics from the Counting Crows song "Ghost Train") create spine-tingling sound that contains visceral power, labyrinthine arrangement, mind-boggling melody and majestic beauty. The band has released five full-length LPs since its formation in 2000 including Between the Buried and Me (2002), The Silent Circus (2003), Alaska (2005), Colors (2007) and 2009's critically acclaimed The Great Misdirect, which landed at #36 on the Billboard Top 200 in its first week of release. The group has showcased its live prowess via a slew of world headlining tours and has participated in major touring festivals including Ozzfest and the Radio Rebellion and Progressive Nation tours. Since its inception, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME has sold nearly one half million records and proven itself as a progressive rock pacesetter whose modernist clang pegs it as a paradigm to be followed and a yardstick by which other bands are measured.
The next step in BTBAM's musical journey involves a new label home in Metal Blade Records and another trek into boundary and genre defying song-writing that is their new album, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues.
The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues serves as the first installment of a two-part story. Hypersleep introduces two human characters who live in different planes of existence, separated by millions of light years. We find that each of them is confronted with similar personal issues that they need to reckon with. Both characters make decisions that will change their lives, and perhaps the course of the universe, forever. The follow up album will pick up the story with our two main characters, with the help of near light speed travel, meeting each other and realizing together their purpose in the universe.
Musically, of course, it sounds like Between the Buried and Me. Hypersleep has elements of aggression, beauty, quirkiness, and pure cacophony. Vocalist Tommy Rogers adds, "For Hypersleep, we establish several themes which I'm sure will be revisited in the next album, which is something we really look forward to. We love to expand on simple ideas and see where they take us."
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME features Tommy Rogers (vocals / keyboards), Paul Waggoner (guitar), Dustie Waring (guitar), Blake Richardson (drums / percussion) and Dan Briggs (bass). The band will release The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues on April 12th, 2011 via Metal Blade Records. The three-song strong, 30 minute conceptual tour de force was recorded at Canada's Metalworks Studios and Rattlebox Studios and produced / engineered by the Grammy award-winning David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, King Crimson, Dream Theater). The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues represents BTBAM's musical and conceptual masterwork, showcasing the quintet's vivid execution and ambitious vision.
The Faceless
The Faceless is a
technical death metal
band from Encino, California who have astonished their live audiences with dizzying guitar work, lightning fast drumming and unmatched brutality. Formed by guitarist Michael Keene and bassist Brandon Giffin, the band quickly found the perfect mix of dedicated musicians to complete the line up.
Currently, the band is in a studio working on their newest album that is set to be released in 2011.
The Contortionist
Bottom heavy open chords that resonate strong enough to shake the core of the earth. Skyrocketing bursts of oscillating guitar leads layer an ominous and dark undercurrent of rhythm. While hardcore punk may be the sound that rules the day in The Contortionist hometown of Indianapolis, it is the band's signature brand of forward thinking heavy metal that has made them stick out as hometown favorites. The band worked hard to amass a following beyond Indiana though consistent regional shows, coastal touring, and two self-released EPs. They clearly began to define their sound and grow as musicians on their EP titled "Apparition". The songwriting and progression on "Apparition" smacks of a group of musicians who are locked deeply into a remarkable place of expression and creativity that is usually reserved for bands with multiple albums under their belt. While it is not uncommon lately for bands in the world of metal to experiment with melody and progression, many times these breaks from the brutal end up sounding forced, too contrived, or way too over the top in shred. What could have been an opportunity for the listener to settle into some depth, winds up missing the mark. When The Contortionist venture into the realm of ambiance it actually raises the level of the song above the crushing breakdowns and demands the listener stay put for the ride. More impressive than their ability to write and record such material, is how big it all plays live. The room seems to expand and fill with spacious tones just in time to be leveled with ferocity. The band is razor sharp while nailing every bit of nuance their ambitious songwriting offers. It is this ability to dole out their sounds in epic proportions through a live performance that piqued the interest of record label Good Fight Music. The band had already distinguished themselves to Good Fight with a penchant for creating a distinct style of heavy music that has plenty of room for the listener to breathe and settle into. So in early 2010, shortly after the staff had caught them live, a deal had become imminent.
With the label now in place, The Contortionist recently spent time in the studio with Unearth's own Ken Susi handling production duties. When asked what interested him about working with The Contortionist, Ken commented - "The Contortionist is not your typical run of the mill band. Lots of bands in this day in age are copycats or just plain old rip offs of other bands that are currently out now. This is truly an original band, from the overall look, sound and structure of the songs. I really feel this band has a bright future ahead of them!" The Contortionist brand new album, titled "Exoplanet", is a progressive metal mammoth. What stands out about the song structures is the bursts of space and atmosphere underscored by intense sonic emotion and boldness. A welcomed subtlety to the evolution of the band's sound from previous works is a sparse use of ominous sci-fi inspired clean vocals. For every bit of progression and aura the band offers up on Exoplanet, comes an equal and unforgiving onslaught of heaviness. Just when heavy metal had seemed to reach a ceiling on how punishing a sound could get, The Contortionist raised the bar even higher. Exoplanet will be out in stores on August 31, 2010.
The Safety Fire
Formed in London in 2006, The Safety Fire has always pushed the boundaries of technical, progressive metal since their inception. With their expansive atmospheres and soaring melodies, it's easy to see why vocalist Sean McWeeney, bassist Lori Peri, drummer Calvin Smith, and guitarists Derya Nagle and Joaquin Ardiles are now at the forefront of their ever-growing genre.
The Safety Fire first made a name for themselves in the UK scene with the release of their critically acclaimed EP "Sections" in 2009 and their reputation as a powerfully energetic live band. They have toured extensively across the UK with bands such as Malefice, The Arusha Accord, Anterior, and Xerath, as well as progressive metal titans Periphery and Monuments most recently throughout Europe. The Safety Fire also appeared at the renowned Sonisphere Festival in 2011 alongside Metallica, Slipknot, Mastodon, and The Mars Volta, proving to the metal community that they can hold their own amongst the likes of such music legends.

Airdrie gymnast strikes gold in Daytona BeachBy: Lucas Punkari | Posted: Thursday, May 22, 2014 10:13 am In what was a tune-up event for the 2014 Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa, Airdrie�s Brody Atkin returned from Daytona Beach, Florida with a gold medal around his neck. The 16-year-old earned first place in the boys� 17 and 18 men�s double mini trampoline event at the 2014 Stars and Stripes Cup competition, which was on May 10 and 11. �I was pretty happy about that result as the event was a little bit different from the other events that I�m used to here in Canada,� Atkin said. �I�m not an international competitor or anything like that, so it�s still a little bit new to me to be competing against guys from all over North America in a different place.� Atkin, who qualified for the finals with an eighth place result in the qualifying round, nailed his final performance to earn the gold medal with a score of 67.80 in the championship round. �The way the event worked there was a little bit different than most of the events I go to in Canada, where they add up your preliminary round scores to determine the final standings,� Atkin explained. �Here, they erased everyone�s score once you qualified for the finals, so that changed up our strategy a little bit.� Atkin�s coach, and his father, Jamie worked with his son on making sure that they didn�t repeat the same routine twice, in order to earn a high score. �What we did is have him do two not as difficult routines that he would nail in the preliminary round, and then we had two routines that are a little riskier but are higher in difficulty in the finals,� Jamie explained. �It was a gamble, but worked out in our favour, as some guys used their bigger routines in the preliminary rounds but they ended up making mistakes,� he added. Atkin is now gearing up for the nationals, which will be held in Ottawa from May 26 to 31, where he will be competing in the double mini trampoline and trampoline events. �I�m not in the senior levels yet when it comes to those events, so I�ll be taking part in the junior events in Ottawa,� Atkin said. �I�m looking forward to it a lot, as it�s always fun to see guys you haven�t seen in awhile.� �I�m hoping to do my best once again there, and hopefully I can come away with a good result,� he added.

I have the Series Two turbo version - 1981. The car was first owned by Satchi and Satchi in London and was shipped to New Zealand, where I am the thrid owner. Its a great option if you are after a quick cheap classic sports car. Parts are easy to come by and, having 50/50 weight distribution, the car handles and accelerates superbly - can give evos and wrx's a fright! Insurance is also reasonable, particularly as it has "classic car" status in New Zealand. Recommend consideration for your first classic car.

F5B plane needs 50% throttle on switch
That is a good idea, but I cannot make it work. Remember I am on Glider program. When I do the pmix as suggested it just takes me to a throttle curve that I cannot make affect the motor. Please tell me how to make it do the 50% throttle on a switch with this pmix.

Not in retail stores, but will we see it at a trade show? I love my A9 but am seriously thinking about upgrading by the first quarter of next year, and would like to know if I'm staying with Hitec or not.... I sure hope the new radio will be competitive with radios the higher end radio's like the DX18, JR's and Futaba's.
Another 2 cents for features: Strictly from an ergonomics perspective, I'd like to see a fixed set of antennas like the DX18, a display like either the JR11x or higher end Futaba. Also, if a module based system is going to be maintained, please put the cable in a channel within the back to keep it from getting snagged. I would also keep the external access to stick adjustments. and the side mounted sliders. And above all keep the touch screen - that's a huge discriminator from other radios in this class. Niceties... include the voice telemetry in the transmitter, integrate enhanced basic telemetry into next gen receivers (but keep downward compatibility), micro or standard sd card updates, and wireless bluetooth or other telemetry with iPhone/Android/laptop receivers. |

I guess if we are also talking hardware (I know, this is sw wish list), I'd like to put a few in here, not all new though.
Make the internal battery connector standard 2S JST-XH. No need to hunt for connectors if you want to use a lipo. No problem for NiMH either, and it's a bit better keyed to avoid wrong polarity. Oh, well, actually I would rather like a modern battery technology right out of the box. A li-ion battery with a plug-in charger like laptops etc. Or at least a fast and automatic charger for the NiMH. You get better battery/charger technologies in toys that cost a few dollars. Hitec is not alone with this, and I really wonder what's going on in the RC industry that's so well known for cutting edge battery and charger technologies at the other end of the radio link. A software idea, maybe not enough well thought, but it has crossed my mind several times. Why do we need separate acro and glider modes? So many people fly gliders with acro and vice versa as they need specific features from the "other" side, and then have to make a lot of compromises. Why not just offer the different mixes all together, use what you need for a specific plane. Or, offer a more free-form programming option so you don't need as much workarounds. Enable the user to bind the extra trims to whatever they want, like any mix ratio. Enable the user to select whatever input pot or switch for whatever function or mix. For example, there should be no reason to say the butterfly is thro only. In general, the technology is already good, just let us do what we want with it. Mika |

I'd like to see something akin to Spektrum's model match system, having the rx's bound to the selected model rather than just the tx. I stuck an electric glider in a tree with 15 minutes of arriving at the field one day (hour drive from home). I couldn't use any of the other planes I bought along with me because the stuck glider was still responding to controls.
That was that day of flying cut very short. It was still live the next day when the local council bought a crane down to rescue it for me! I would have had to have been flying a good few km away to avoid interference and running the motor into the branches and overloading the esc/lipo. |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A miffed Perry Fewell accused some members of the New York Giants defense of quitting in the blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints and he vowed that will not happen again.
The Giants defensive coordinator could not explain why the Giants (6-5) played so poorly in the 49-24 thrashing that knocked New York out of first place in the NFC East and left many wondering whether the team was ready for a third straight second-half of the season collapse.
"It was so disappointing from my perspective that as I watched it on Monday and watched it the next day, it was one of those games that you want to bury," Fewell said Thursday after practice. "The energy level, what we did, it baffled me, OK. It baffled me. You're supposed to have answers, but sometimes you can't explain a game like that."
The numbers were sickening, especially for a defensive coordinator.
The Saints gained 577 yards in total offense, the second highest total an opponent has mustered in a single game in the Giants' 87-year history

NFL coverage on the go |
Fewell gave credit to Drew Brees and the Saints offense. It was fresh coming off a bye week and Brees made quick, accurate throws that the Giants simply could not cover.
However, Fewell wanted more from his unit.
"We have to play with more passion," said Fewell, who is in his second season as the Giants defensive coordinator. "That was a game against a playoff football team. We have aspirations of being a playoff team and sometimes it's the will, the will to get it done. We didn't will ourselves to get it done. That's what I can explain. Why we didn't will ourselves to get it done."
Fewell said he let the defense know just how he felt this week and he seemed certain it would show up Sunday for what is now a crucial game against the undefeated Green Bay Packers (11-0).
Speaking after practice Thursday, he virtually guaranteed that the defense, which has had only three sacks in the last three games, would put pressure on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"We're going to get to the quarterback period, OK.," Fewell said. "We're going to get it done."
When asked how the Giants were going to do that with two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora nursing an ankle injury -- the team won't disclose which ankle -- and fellow Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck having a sub-par, injury-plagued season, a wry smile crossed Fewell's face.
"I am going to coach better," he said, "and they are going to play better, that's it."
The one thing that Fewell knows won't happen again is that this team won't quit. Late in the game, cornerback Corey Webster seemed to stop in his tracks when it became obvious that Pierre Thomas was going to score on a 12-yard, fourth-quarter run with the Saints already ahead 35-17.
Fewell's blood pressure seemed to spike when asked about "pulling up" late in the game.
"That was disheartening, no doubt," Fewell said. "Me being the coach and the leader of the defense, that was disheartening, and when I say it was disheartening, it was disappointing more so than disheartening because we don't coach that. We don't coach pulling up short and we're not going to accept pulling up short.
"So, we won't pull up short again."
After looking into the eyes of his defense on Wednesday and watching them practice the past two days, Fewell senses a different attitude.
"There wasn't a lot of talk," he said. "We said: 'Hey, actions speak louder than words and we're going to do what our words say.' I think they took that to heart. Instead of boasting and bragging about what we are going to do, I think the way they prepared in practice today showed a lot about what we can do."
Doing it against Rodgers will be difficult. He has posted a 100+ rating in 11 straight games, making him the first quarterback to do that in NFL history. He also has thrown at least two touchdowns in each game this season in extending the Packers' overall winning streak to 17 games, a run that began with a 45-17 win over New York on Dec. 26.
Fewell vowed the Giants are going to get after Rodgers and when he gets out of the pocket, they are going to hit him.
"We look forward to the opportunity to play these guys," Fewell said. "That is my confidence level. We're going to show up and we're going to play on Sunday."
