Thank you, my dear Mr. Visions, but I heard an opposite opinion about my thinking abilities and really it is better to be realistic about yourself. . I can't think of anything else about Posh entry, I know that you are believer, maybe you can interpret this one. I would love to hear your thoughts.

In posh's piece, I will say that when you use imagery like crusade style attire and angels/demons, it will point your piece in that direction whether you like it or not. When you choose imagery like that, it will reflect it's origins, which I think sve and others might have gathered. I didn't gather that same exact conclusion, but I very well understand it, beliefs or not.
Sve, I think the fact that you pull so much from a piece shows your education/personal experience, and that's what it's all about: making someone else's art personal. It may not have been the artists intention all the time, but that's just a reflection of the artist's communication with his or her viewer. Without dragging this out anymore, I just wanna say again thank you for making us appreciate our work and others in a new light, and making it more real for all of us.

Me again. Last time I promise.
Kenji , It is very clever to use the things like the electric saw in the picture, art has limitations in its ability to deliver the message but object like this add sounds to the image through association. So I hear the unnerving high pinch sound in my ears while looking at your image. I like that you just suggesting the objects and details, I always like this manner in people art, ( probably because I do the opposite).
As a note I would like to add that the colors divide picture too much, maybe it souls be better to find some other shades closer on the color wheel. but they sure make the happening very dramatic. I might suggest to add more craziness to your psychopath in body language or silhouette.
BDFoster Very nice illustration, anatomy , poses and colors. Action painted very expressively. I just think the left arm of the dragon is hard to read, not that obvious for me and I need to look longer to understand the position in the space (probably because of the colors, they are very close to each other). I like the lighting on the riders and the very elaborated and beautiful bike.
Iconophobian There is nice magic feeling of slow motion in your painting. I think it's because of the deep blue colors, it bring association with aquarium or ocean to me, where everything is indefinite and unpredictable and sounds are silenced by thickness of water.
You had the same thing going in your Girl Thunderdome, kind of look from a distance, far away with time and miles between the happening and us, viewers.
And in the new image the confused face of the girl and some undecidedness in her pose and how she throws balls of fire and they fly and we see the traction, all this creates the feeling of not normal, surreal happening.
Like it is happening fast in reality, but very slowly, abnormally slowly in the mind of the heroine.
The soft, very mild colors and brushstrokes suggest the same to me. Not very sharp, a bit blunted sensation, like defensive reaction of our organism and mind in the very stressed extreme moments of our life. With purpose to postpone the shock and crucial destruction of our body and nerves in this important minutes.
My favorite parts of the painting are the figure of the girl, her face and balls of fire.
Vyle What a strange happening in the picture. I guess we are witnesses a hero, taking the hardest role on herself saving her people from the death. Very precise body language of the figures, I like how you painted BG of the image, but foreground look not that well thought out, there are some empty spaces and the smooth surface of the structure in front of the happening kind of distracts me. I think it has too sharp outlines considering that everything else is half hidden in fog.
Yumiko You are talking a lot through color ann textures in your image. Personally for me your painting has a lot of awaking memories and association with what I saw and heard in my childhood. I grew up listening of old Mongol legends and myth. And they had the same mood.
Admiration of physical power, cult of the fit body, love of speed, sort of sportsman qualities. Landscape is looking very close too, very powerful, solid, domineering tough nature. Country of the warriors and cruel conquerors.
Colors are very mature and confident. There are not one hint on the weakness in the image, everything is very intimidating. Partly it is effect of using opaque colors.
And of course hidden figure is the gentlest shade in the picture. Unsuitable to fight back. So escape is the way to go in this case.
I would suggest to put some highlights or some lighter shades on the knees of the horses and shoulders and helmets of the riders. They look very powerful and gruesome being that dark, but it will bring more deepness to the picture and I think it will make the foreshortening even more believable.
Overall, I like the colors in your image very much, they are unusual and fresh and very talking.
iolarnula I think because of the very soft texture of the sky in your image it would be better to wrap your objects more in the air, you know. They look a bit too sketchy and it kind of kills the atmospheric effect. Stylised sky is beautiful in your image.
Joiton . You know whenever I look at your images I very often feel like you have a great fun at my expense. Starting from the first image in LMS2.
I think you give just enough information to make my thoughts go in circle and it is kind of frustrating and irritating a bit. And it is a good thing, because it is emotion and it is really frustrating because i feel like I know only half of the words you are telling me.
The only thing I got from this you were smiling when you drew this and that the girl is a nonconformist in best or just total nuts in the worst scenario. I think she escaped from some sort of forceful imprisonment. She was counting days while she was there striking them in fours using her skin () . I have no idea what the exclamation marks mean, probably she is not all there in her head. and I refuse to comment on green spirit.
I think you have the most playful mind on this site.
loizze . OK. I think we have some agreement between the players in this match. You guys are rebels. You should have been born 70 years ago and be 20 years old in let say 1950th years when it was the sexual revolution going on. hippie, flower children, no limits, no borders, all that stuff. I just say I like stylisation in your image. If it is an escape then it's wild one.
Snarfevs The main character face and pose is funny, although maybe you didn't want this effect, but this glasses are hilarious. He has this kind of fancy guy look and outfit, like popular singer. I think it is not good to mix styles so much, going for cartoonish look at one part of the image and very realistic, textured in another. It looks like you didn't think it out too well.
The guy makes my smile every time I see him. Kind of Austin Powers type of dude .
Rusty I don't think an escape is happening right now in your picture.
More like planning or wanting to escape from the day routine which makes his brain half dead.
The little guy with huge worrisome eyes and signs of hard life is about to flip out, to lose control of himself. It will be a lot of action next moment, he will do something extraordinary the first time in his life. Just there is a limit of what a guy can tolerate.
It is probably already happening.
And when he is descending or ascending up in the elevator, his brains are working super intense, in full power and some fantastic, unbelievable , monstrous plans and images are floating in his mind.
It will be ugly, this escape of brains into craziness.
Summer Pudding You know, Pete, I already saw one time the unusual ability of a person, he was a poet, Russian poet, my contemporary, to feel and express the experience of other people as his own, very truthfully. I mean the ability to soak up the other person life events, other person feelings and transfer it through some form of art as his own, very believable.
I doubt you had this experience in the past hiding in the swamp from chase and looking at people with guns walking around you and being ready to shoot you.
But I see it like I'm sitting near you, main character, and my heart is dying several times in five minutes from every move those people make, toward me or from me. Great precise emotion and the most amazing thing it is done through colors and lighting mostly, I don't even see faces.
A body language and some little hints like guns being ready to use are very important and expressive too in your image..
You had the same effect in your submarine image. Hope you update soon. It was ages already.
Terrific job and you are really great artist, Pete, I'm telling you this without any flatter. You are a great manipulator, the best compliment to artist I think. Means, you are able to have a great communication with your viewer, the ultimate honesty and openness.
Badger Really beautiful, gentle combination of colors in your image, very refined sense of colors. And I like the simplified silhouettes in you painting. Such a gentle transition of shades, really beautiful. But it creates a calm relaxing feeling in me, so I see it more like kidnapping than escape, not expected kidnapping. Just the colors and poses of these people don't suggest that anything bad happening. It looks like well prepared action, but it is carried away without noise and panic.
Mythmaker I think the figures are bit static looking despite it is very fast happening action in the image and i wish you gave more deepness to the image, using dorm tricks to separate BG from FG. All objects have approximately the same sharp outlines, make it hard job for eyes and brains to analyse the picture.
Romance One of my favorite images in this Dome. Great effects and atmosphere and characters and story telling. And in the end the bad boys always have the most interesting roles in any story.
Really beautiful image. I want too look more at those lazy guys on the sofas with soft pillows. I suspect those dudes don't even know what reality is, they are always hanging out in their escape and whenever they need to stick their head out of it, they don't understand anything and just look with crazy eyes on strange silhouettes in front of them. The hashish is in their eyes and brains and in the wrinkles of their brownish unhealthy skin.
Perfect image and I never saw the smoked room depicted so truthfully, it is a picture with the smell and sounds, rare thing.
Jason Chan Beautiful girl, beautiful rendering. I could have said it is a silent picture because of the colors, they are kind of quiet, but you put headset on her, so it supposed to be quiet. So I agree it is very nice girl who does escape from reality into music but does it without making other people miserable. Lovely effect of the light coming though grid on the floor and her body.
Matt Dixon Hmm, I guess it is just that kind of girl who doesn't run in any circumstances and escape for her it is just literally to make a a brand-new hole in the body of her enemy standing and blocking her way. . Just that kind of persoanlity. Some other would call it agressive atttack, but you call it the only posiible escape . It is understandable, that's your personality. . your ability to see humour in most everything. I always liked it in your art.
You will disagree, because the effects are very beautiful in this image, but I would prefer Bg painted darker and duller. Just to make the main character the most important focus of the viewer. This shade of purple is very beautiful, but it is very active too, almost the same as fire and even more attention grabber then the monster or girl. And it doesn't carry that much information at all, but you make me slant my eye in this corner of the image, just because you probably don't want to destroy this lovely color. I would sacrifice it for better compostion.
Jason Manley Your image has very many symbols which effect our brains in certain way, always in certain way as result of our life experience.
Sunset, ocean, waves, not strong ones, pretty small, and as assumption monotone, casual outfit (sweatshirt), foot prints on the sand (and btw, the prints are going in circle as repetitive, comforting motion.) All these are very strong indication of certain mood: desire of silence, extreme tiredness, moment of relaxation and desire to be alone and be deaf and maybe even blind. That why you chose the grey image, it is ultimate state of tiredness, when person doesn't want any obnoxious loud colors or sounds. Everything effective and bright just irritates tired nerves. The repetitive motion and darkness are like refuge and promise of restoration.
Bowlin OMG, You overdid it for me, a little too much, my sympathy goes to the slaughtered bad guys. Just so much blood, wonder how he managed to do it in the air, flying. He got some potentials, this dude. Really nice lighting effect, very beautiful and I like the foreshortening.
magicgoo Poor little mermaid, got lost in the strange dangerous place. Do the octopus eat little mermaids? I'm so ignorant. I think it is a beautiful design, I think it could be even better. I personally think her hand gesture is not expressive enough, could be much more telling, like showing her inner state more, being startled or disgusted, or asking for help. I think it would be great to enrich the color palette a little bit, maybe to make some beautiful transition of colors. The composition is lovely though. I love the texture and rhythm those lines create.
Robot That's right, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, French philosopher, called us to return to our primary bases, nature. Take off our shoes and be like just born, not spoiled by civilization.
Very expressive. could be like very much needed poster for extremely stressed places. Maybe some people will hear you. Green Party should hear you in any case. Like Travolta said " I dig propaganda' in your image.
I hope you will disregard my words in case if you think differently, it is just one person opinion, no big deal.
Thanks Mr. Visions, very kind words, I'm grateful. Cool if it is so.

Pete. I love you so much and miss your presence in the forum. Where are you hiding these days? Update?
You should hear me talking. I have an accent. I will not be able to sell candy to the neighbour next door who likes me . And I'm not that fond of the selling process at all. . I think any art should belong to the person who likes it the most, not to the richest one. Yeah, I know, sounds crazy.
BTW. All impressions are real. no flatter or selling patch.
Kind people who wrote to me back, thank you so much for art and kind words. It was fun though, no pressure.

hey, accents are great for selling art
And it seems like you interpreted my piece well hehe
the colors are not random, I wanted them hard on the eye on purpose (I guess my usual work proves I can do soft ones ), but well, it was kinda rushed and i don't personally like how it turned out either... I don't know why I feel like I should try new things each time in those challenges, instead of doing what I know and do well.

I adore the fact you feel obliged or inspired to try new things in those challenges. means you want your art to be a present for us viewer. You love us !!! You really love us!!! hahaha.
But come on, love your art a bit more, be original, hehehe.
I'm not able to write looking at your art most of the time because it is beautiful, nothing to criticize, you have your own integrated world and I don't dare to interfere with it.
But thank you so much for allowing me inside of your creative process. That's a real treat I always love. So the colors you chose were hard and demanding and straightforward on purpose. They are loud, those orange and blue, in my opinion, it is the most attention demanding combination. Hard to escape in your thoughts from these colors, they kind of keep us focus on reality. But he managed to escape. I see. interesting.
Thanks again for saying this additional info.

The amount of quality work is amazing. I have so much respect for the members here at CA and dedicating so much time for these contest.

It is weird for me to read your thoughts, Rusty, because I always start from idea that nothing is random in art. All details have some reasons why they are included in the image. I even think that where you put dots and lines have some bases if an artist knows what he wants.
Look, I thought that maybe colors in m@'s image were random, and no, they were put there on pupose, were well thought out.
If nothing is random, then there is a certain idea in the image, I need to look carefully.
September 28th, 2006 #205
Thank you Sve for the very kind comments about my entry, I'm happy you like it and see it in the same light that I did while painting it.

sve, thank you very much for the crits and compliments; I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. I had to put it away for almost a week before I could look at it again after submitting! Anyway, you are right about the escaping souls overpowering the bad guy's torso. Guess I got carried away in that area a bit. Good insight, and thanks again.
September 29th, 2006 #209
Hmm I did say Id come back later
Theres a great deal of high quality work in here, but I just thought Id mention a handful that I particularly enjoyed.
DavidSmit Nice mood in this. I really like how the girl indicates some unseen threat outside of the frame very effective.
Dutton Great idea, very expressive and very well painted!
Mr Blonde Loved the styling in this.
Okelvin That must have taken flippin ages!
Viag It looks complex and dramatic yet simply constructed. These are skills I must learn!
Shelly another beautiful piece! More understated than your first round, but no less worthy of merit!
El Coro I really love the texture in the first piece it feels so tangible.
Iconophobian Painterly and dramatic and a nice palette!
Jason Manley Im really drawn into this it feels like a memory, or some thought captured in a frame. An amazing quality for a relatively simple piece.
Kudos to everyone who submitted an entry! - Too much awsomeness for one thread! pld:
Sve Thanks for the critique! Im sure youre right it feels more like an approximation of what it should have been. I spent too much time conceptualising when I should have just gone for it I dont have much experience with quick concept techniques, so I needed more time than I allowed. Oh well My fault!
I dont expect to be in the next round, and Im already disappointed about that but its been a great experience and I definitely want to be in the next one!
Looks like the results could be posted today!
September 29th, 2006 #210
Very entertaining scroll!
MikeC, TyranX.. nice round!
MikeC: your piece definitely got the feeling of an escape, very cool from dusk to dawn-feeling in it : )
And Tyranx, sweet.. love the execution of your work, cool simple scene.
Whoa.. tons of great stuff! And thx Sve for the words on everyones work!

GAVIN RICH, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says Jaque Fourie is staking a strong claim to be the world's best outside centre.
Two years ago the Hurricanes beat the Lions 38-32 in a Super 14 game at Ellis Park and afterwards All Blacks centre Conrad Smith stepped up to claim his Man of the Match award. Smith had scored two tries for the Hurricanes and his intelligent play in his team's No 13 jersey had created a couple more for the visitors. Most would have thought him a deserved Man of the Match recipient, but Smith didn't think so – instead he spoke about the man who was his opposite number that night, Jaque Fourie. In Smith's view Fourie should have received the Man of the Match award and he left no one in any doubt about the massive respect he had for the Springbok.
Smith was right about the quality of Fourie's performance that night – he scored two tries, helped create the other two and was at the heart of everything that the Lions did well. It seemed every time he touched the ball he was off on one of his charges through the opposing defence, contemptuously brushing off tacklers when he couldn't beat them for pace.
It was that game, as much as any other, that announced Fourie's return to top form and full momentum after a frustrating post-World Cup year in which he spent much of it on the sidelines. That period away from the game is something critics should perhaps take more cognisance of when they consider his right to be thought of as the world's best outside centre.
According to one of Fourie's predecessors in the Bok midfield, Pieter Müller, it's only those injuries that have prevented Fourie from being head and shoulders above any other contender for the right to be called the world's best.
'He's had a couple of injuries that have struck him down when he's started approaching top form but to me he's one of those rare players who just doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. He's big, fast, strong and brilliant defensively,' says Müller.
While Fourie was away in 2008, Adi Jacobs did well enough to earn a starting place in the Springbok team for the first two Tests against the British & Irish Lions in 2009. It robbed the audience of the opportunity to properly judge Fourie in a head-to-head confrontation with the player widely regarded as the best in the world at the time – Ireland's highly-rated Brian O'Driscoll.
Fourie was watching from the bench when O'Driscoll weaved his way through the Bok defence almost every time he touched the ball in those two matches, and O'Driscoll left the field concussed soon after Fourie arrived on it to make a massive difference to the Bok effort in the series-deciding last quarter of the second Test at Loftus.
But if you ask Müller, he leaves little doubt that if he had to choose between the two, Fourie would be the player he would select for his team.
'O'Driscoll is an extraordinary attacking talent and he has withstood the test of time, but Jaque is also exceptionally strong on attack and has other attributes that make him a better all-round player. He's big and he hurts the opposition when he tackles them. That's what makes him a better package in my opinion; he's just a much more influential defensive player, and defence is such an important part of that position.'
Speaking at a press conference before the first Tri-Nations Test of 2009 in Bloemfontein, Fourie had journalists agog when he stated matter-of-factly, when asked about his return to the Bok starting line-up for the match against the All Blacks, that he was the best in the world. But rather than accuse Fourie of arrogance, critics should instead try to recall those occasions when he could reasonably have considered himself to have been bettered by an opponent.
It's hard to think of any, and it is easy to see how someone so physically imposing and so in control of his channel might be able to talk himself into thinking no one could outplay him in a head-to-head battle. And as another former Springbok centre, Brendan Venter, says, size is important.
'What you need from an outside centre is someone who is very strong defensively as well as capable of testing opposing defences on attack,' he says. 'Conrad Smith is a good player known for his intelligence, but he lacks the zip and thrust of Jaque or O'Driscoll. I think O'Driscoll is exceptional; he is the best outside centre ever to have played the game. But he has lost a bit of his speed, and a No 13 is reliant on speed.
'Jaque has also lost some of his speed; it's natural and is a fact of life. No one in their late 20s is as quick as they were when they were 21. But he has other things that give him an edge over the other outside centres. What he has on O'Driscoll is his size. Jaque is three inches taller than Brian, and I don't care what anyone says, that does make a difference. It's just a fact of rugby that being bigger makes a player so much harder for the opposition to deal with.'
Venter says that Fourie's size means he holds defences, forcing opposing teams to commit more defenders to look after him.
'I like to judge a player on what I imagine it would have been like to play against him. I would have hated to play against Jaque; he would have been a tough proposition because he has so much going for him. Apart from his size, strength and speed, he has good feet for an outside centre, and his defence is massive. He really dominates his channel.'
Fourie's midfield partner at the Stormers and the Boks, Jean de Villiers, nods his head in agreement with Venter's assertion that Fourie is not a player you would relish playing against.
'I'm really pleased to be in the same team as Jaque at Super Rugby level because he was the one guy I never enjoyed playing against when he was at the Lions,' says De Villiers. 'He's been one of the top outside centres for quite a while now. He's one of the truly great players and what makes him so great is his consistency. He seldom has a bad game, in fact it's hard for me to recall when he has had a bad game. Defensively he is so solid, and he runs great lines. He's a big threat to the opposition on attack.
'It's an enjoyable experience to play with Jaque as he is one of those guys who makes things easier for you. I think it's been said often enough – his biggest attribute is probably his ability to communicate. He has great communication skills and is a gifted organiser of the defensive system.'
For another former Bok No 13, Robbie Fleck, it is those communication skills that put Fourie in a league of his own.
'What makes Mossie outstanding is his ability to communicate and this is a skill that separates the world-class player from the merely good one,' says Fleck, who as Stormers backline coach has plenty of inside knowledge on Fourie's strengths and weaknesses.But Fleck is reluctant to take a line on whether Fourie is better than O'Driscoll on the basis that they are completely different players with contrasting styles.
'O'Driscoll is a player you could use as an inside centre, whereas Jaque is an out- and-out outside centre. They have different attributes and fulfil their own roles for their respective teams. I reckon if you put them up against each other those differences would probably negate each other and you would get a stalemate.'
Fleck has no doubt that Fourie is among the finest outside centres he has seen in a career which started as a player at first-class level in 1997.
'He's definitely right near the top of the list of players I have seen during my time. Defensively he has few, if any, peers, in terms of organisation and execution. I know what a difference he makes to our defence when he's present. He dominates the outside channel and dictates how opposition teams play against us by cutting down their options.
'On attack he also has just about everything – he has great physique, is fast and he runs beautiful lines. He's strong on his feet and difficult to bring down, so his ability to offload and hold the ball up is another one of his big strengths. Overall he's not a player you would say has any weaknesses.
'At the Stormers we feel he sometimes chases too many rucks and is therefore not always in the position he should be in to maximise his attacking opportunities, and we are working on that. But how can you fault a player for having a high work rate?'
Venter and De Villiers both also pinpointed Fourie's personality as an important part of the armoury of any team he plays for.
'He's one of those players who still manages to stand out when things get tough and who is prepared to take on an extra load when the chips are down and the team isn't playing well,' says Venter. 'He'll look to try something different by running a line off the 10 or a line off the scrumhalf. That is an invaluable thing to have in a player.
'In many ways he is similar to Jean in that he has a massive personality and inspires confidence in players around him. He makes things happen. He would be an extremely valuable player on the international market; a club in France would pay a huge amount of money to buy him. One of the reasons the Lions boxed above their weight in the years before John Mitchell arrived was because of Jaque. Since he left them it has become a lot harder for them. He is a special player and they miss him.'

Comments about Pearl Izumi Canyon Short 2013:
I picked these up for my son who's just getting into mtb-ing. The stretchy lightweight material dries quickly & keeps you cool on summer rides. They've got a no-too-baggy, not-too-tight technical fit that's stylish enough for my 14-yr old. The liner is excellent, too - very comfortable on longer rides. It can be removed by cutting out a short panel of mesh fabric at the back of the liner - this gives you the flexibility to wear the liner with other shorts (the liner really is that good!) or using the shorts as casual wear by themselves.
I just wish they had an additional pocket for your keys or a wallet.
Excellent design & quality for the price!

Wunderwelt: Langes rotes Pferd
As a follow-up to the selection of works from the Liaunig Collection shown last year, during 2011 and 2012 the Liaunig Museum will be presenting an extensive exhibition with a focus on art from 1980 until the present day.
The exhibition, which will be displayed in two parts under the title Reality and Abstraction, will spotlight major aspects of contemporary Austrian art, supplemented by examples of work from international artists.
Part I of the show will open in May 2011 and present expressive-gestural tendencies in painting, sculpture and graphics. In 2012, this will be followed by Part II, which will be concerned primarily with concrete and reductive positions.
Parallel to the exhibition, a 212-page, richly illustrated catalogue with an introduction by Peter Baum is to be published.

There are no user reviews yet - Be first to review Madden NFL 08.
After two disappointing efforts the last two seasons -- disappointing by the high standard that EA's football franchise set for itself over the years -- Madden NFL 08 redeems the franchise as one of the best-playing football games in recent memory.
You'll find a much smarter brand of football in 08: Quarterbacks now scramble when no one is open, wideouts continue to make blocks 30 yards downfield, and defensive backs rarely fall for the deep ball. Some might even say that pass defense is a tad too stingy this season.
These animations are gorgeous to look at, from Reggie Bush doing his trademark summersault for six, or a Chad Johnson river dance after a score. This is because the game runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second...Madden 08 is simply superb. If you could only own one next-gen football, this is it.

Why Christianity Must Change or Die: A Bishop Speaks to Believers In Exile (Paperback)
Related Editions
An important and respected voice for liberal American Christianity for the past twenty years, Bishop John Shelby Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible, Jesus, theism, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today's thinking Christian. In this compelling and heartfelt book, he sounds a rousing call for a Christianity based on critical thought rather than blind faith, on love rather than judgment, and that focuses on life more than religion.
About the Author
John Shelby Spong was the Episcopal Bishop of Newark for twenty-four years prior to his retirement in 2000. Since then he has taught at Harvard University, the University of the Pacific and Drew University and he has been a visiting lecturer at universities and churches throughout North America and the English-speaking world. His books have sold over a million copies and he is regarded as one of Christianitys frontier twenty-first-century thinkers. His bestselling titles include Eternal Life: A New Vision, Jesus for the Non-Religious, The Sins of Scripture, A New Christianity for a New World, Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, Resurrection: Myth or Reality?, Why Christianity Must Change or Die and his autobiography, Here I Stand. He lives with his wife, Christine, in Morris Plains, New Jersey.

On a balmy June night, Kirsten, a young university student, is strolling home through a silent moonlit park when she is viciously attacked.
When she awakes in the hospital, she has no recollection of that brutal night. But then slowly, painfully, details reveal themselves -- dreams of two figures, one white and one black, hovering over her; snatches of a strange and haunting song; the unfamiliar texture of a rough and deadly hand ...
In another part of the country, Martha Browne arrives in a Yorkshire seaside town, posing as an author doing research for a book. But her research is of a particularly macabre variety. Who is she hunting with such deadly determination? And why?
The First Cut is a vivid and compelling psychological thriller, from the author of the critically acclaimed Inspector Banks series.

LA GRANGE – And the streak goes on.
North Lenoir continues its undefeated volleyball season after shutting out Southern Wayne, 3-0 (25-11, 25-10, 25-15) Wednesday. The Saints (0-4), who only had two seniors return this season, have yet to post in the win column for 2013.
The Hawks' killer offense decided Wednesday's game and kept the Saints winless.
North Lenoir setter Syndee Husdon had 12 assists in the victory, while the Hawks notched 15 total kills over the Saints. Southern Wayne's attack game wasn't particularly strong, as the Hawks only went down to dig seven times in the three sets.
Additionally, North Lenoir moved confidently in the majority of Wednesday's rotations – the sign of a 5-0 team.
"Team chemistry is huge," said North Lenoir coach Heather Carson. "To me, they all have to work together out there, and they have to keep chipping away. Yesterday, we played Eastern Wayne, and we were behind. They just kept battling it.
"They're fighters."
The Hawks were able to hold the Saints to less than 11 points in the first two sets. North Lenoir started committing errors of their own in Set 3, which they started 8-0, to award Southern Wayne a few points.
But they tightened back up quickly.
There was a service ace, there was a kill and there was a perfect pairing of Hudson and outside hitter Mya Parks that helped nail it in for the Hawks. The two hooked up on a big play to go 20-13 over the Saints in Set 3. Hudson got under the ball to pass up to Parks' right side as she nailed the hit.
"I want to do what's best for the team, and I like to win," Hudson said. "I just want to hustle and do what we can. I think we talk very well, we all love each other and we have each other's backs."
Connecting with Parks was late in the game. Laura Haerer and Dani Moulton each had six kills off Hudson assists. Southern Wayne's defense recorded 12 digs for the game, but it did no good for them in the shutout loss.
"I told them not to be too negative," Saints coach Stephanie Bellefeuille. "They need to be more comfortable with each other, trust each other a little more. Our passing's there, our hitting's there, our setting's there, it's just the problem is in between players – they're not communicating."
Carson said her team refused to let up, an attitude that she feels will carry them to a winning season.

The Cheetahs outscored the Brumbies by two tries but it was the hosts superior goalkicking that won the day in Canberra.
The Brumbies won 15-13 but Riaan Smit's 80th minute touchline conversion just failed. A successful kick would have tied the match and taken it into extra time.
The Brumbies, showing greater experience and play-offs composure, dominated the first hour but the last 20 minutes belonged to the Cheetahs and replacement scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius was sensational in providing the impact.
Replacement wing Rayno Benjamin scored from sustained pressure in the 79th minute and Smit, who had kicked just one from three, appeared to have kicked the perfect touchline conversion. But just at the last moment the ball swung to the left of the upright.
The Brumbies now travel to Pretoria to play the Bulls in the semi-final and the Crusaders are away to league winners Chiefs.
Brumbies – Penalties: Christian Lealiifano (4), Nic White.
Cheetahs – Tries: Johann Sadie, Rayno Benjamin. Penalty: Riaan Smit.
Brumbies – 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 George Smith, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Scott Sio.

Below is a photo gallery provided by LAGalaxy.com of LA's 2-0 victory over FC Shirak.
The LA Galaxy take the field at StubHub Center for the first time in 2014 on Saturday when they take on Armenian champions FC Shirak.
The match begins at 6pm and will be televised on Time Warner Cable Deportes.
Below are few relevant links and a projected lineup for Saturday.
*Larry Morgan provided a preview of Saturday's match for LAGalaxy.com.
*I had a conversation with former Galaxy attacker Alecko Eskandarian on the Southern California Armenian community.
* The LA Galaxy's two newest forward signings Rob Friend and Samuel are fitting in well after two weeks of training.
* Robbie Keane will not be playing on Saturday, but according to Bruce Arena, he's close to returning to action.
*It's likely that we'll see a multitude of combinations at right back where three trialists are looking to earn a roster spot.
* Earlier this week, the Galaxy signed Bruce Arena to a multi-year contract extension that club President Chris Klein states is for three years.

CARSON, Calif. – Arguably no one has more clout in the game of soccer than David Beckham and as he prepares to serve as an owner for the prospective Miami MLS franchise, his former head coach Bruce Arena has already tipped hi for success.
On Wednesday, Beckham and MLS announced that he had exercised his option to become an owner of an MLS team and that the former LA Galaxy midfielder plans to place the team in Miami. Although their are still plenty of questions surrounding the team (which you can have a better understanding of by reading this great piece by Soccer By Ives' Franco Panizo), Arena believes that Beckham will be successful.
"He'll do well. David's presence in that market will make it a legitimate product and give it the best opportunity to succeed in Miami," said Arena. "I think that Beckham will give them the opportunity to be successful."
When asked what type of qualities the English soccer legend will bring as an owner, Arena was blunt.
"I think it's called David Beckham. He brings charisma; he's a global brand that brings credibility to the market place and MLS. That's something that is hard to do. There's not that many people in this sport or in the world that have his brand and it'll make for an exciting venture there and hopefully a successful one."
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane will not be taking the field for the LA Galaxy in Saturday's preseason friendly against FC Shirak, but his return is not too far off.
After undergoing offseason surgery on both of his Achilles, Keane has been reduced to jogging this offseason while his teammates train. However according to head coach Bruce Arena, he may return to training next week.
"We're doing all the necessary things with him in a very conservative way. If Robbie had it his way, he'd probably be training now but we're going to let him move along accordingly," Arena told LAGalaxy.com. "We want to make sure that he's not rushed back too soon. There's no reason to believe that next week with a little more work and off, he'll be ready to go at full speed the following week."
Keane told reporters at the start of training camp that he expects to be available once the season starts in March.
Next month the LA Galaxy will begin their Road to Morocco with their CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals series against Club Tijuana.
Due to the proximity of the the cities of Los Angeles and Tijuana, we have decided to investigate the culture and relationship between the two cities in a series that we're calling the "Road to Morocco." In our first video, which you can see above, I take a look at what it is like to see a Club Tijuana match at the Estadio Calliente. Although there may be apprehension from many about crossing the border into Mexico ahead of the March 18 CCL second leg in Tijuana, I found the fans to be very receptive and eager to see a substantial Galaxy presence in their home stadium.
To accompany our video series, LAGalaxy.com photographer Paolo Ferrari created a photo gallery of our trip which you can see below.
The LA Galaxy's preseason friendly with Armenian league champion FC Shirak is, by all accounts, generating a great deal of hype particuarly with Southern California's local Armenian population.
Earlier this month, FC Shirak posted a series of YouTube promos for their match with the Galaxy -- including one involving Armenian pop legend Armenchik -- which can be seen below.
Check it out.
CARSON, Calif. -- Fresh off a successful January camp with the U.S. National Team, Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez returned to training on Thursday ahead of Saturday's friendly with FC Shirak.
After being given a few days off to rest up after the month-long camp with the U.S., both Gonzalez and Landon Donovan were excited to return to the Galaxy.
"I'm feeling good. I had a successful January camp," said Gonzalez. I'm just happy to be back at camp with the Galaxy and I'm just looking forward to the start of the season."
Added Donovan: "I feel great. I feel sharp and fit and excited to get back and get started playing some games. Probably a little bit ahead of everybody as far as fitness and stuff, but it's nice. Omar and I are happy to be back here and ready to play."
Photos of Donovan and Gonzalez's first training of the year with the Galaxy are below.
The Bruce is Back: LA Galaxy club President Chris Klein states Bruce Arena extension for three years
CARSON, Calif. – Bruce Arena will be with the LA Galaxy for three more years according to club President Chris Klein.
On Wednesday, the LA Galaxy announced that they had signed the team's head coach and general manager to a multi-year deal, but in an interview with LAGalaxy.com, Klein revealed the length of Arena's contract extension.
"Look at what he's done since he came here in 2008. And we wanted to make sure he could continue to do that, for another three years," Klein told LAGalaxy.com. "He's the best coach our game has seen in this country, and we're thankful he's a part of the Galaxy."
Klein was not the only person who was in high spirits after Arena's extension as midfielder Landon Donovan stated that he was pleased with the Galaxy's decision to keep their head coach around.
"It's well deserved," said Donovan. "We're very happy for him. He has much as any coach in this league deserves to be taken care of. As we've seen over the years, this is a club that takes care of people. We're all happy for him."
The man that LA Galaxy fans glowingly refer to as "Bruce Almighty" will be sticking around a few more years.
On Thursday, the Galaxy announced that they have signed head coach and general manger Bruce Arena to a new multi-year contract extension. Arena, who is one of the most successful coaches in U.S. history has led the Galaxy to two MLS Cups and three MLS Cup finals since joining the club in 2008. Heading into his seventh year at the helm of the Galaxy, the three MLS Coach of the Year and four-time MLS Cup winner has compiled a 82-46-44 regular season record with LA.
"I'm honored to remain in this role with the preeminent soccer club in the United States," said Arena in a statement. "I appreciate the continued support and confidence from Mr. Anschutz, Mr. Beckerman, Chris Klein and my staff and players as we head into the 2014 season."
Arena has been the most influential coach in American soccer.

Thoughts on the deal?
Share them below.
CARSON, Calif. – At the moment, the competition between right backs Matheau Hall, Dan Gargan and James Riley is a friendly one –they do carpool to the stadium every morning after all—but each has a simple goal: prove to the LA Galaxy coaching staff that they deserve a spot on the team's roster in 2014.
With Sean Franklin and Hector Jimenez departing in the offseason, the Galaxy have sought out cover at the right back spot which led to camp invitations for Hall and 31-year-old Gargan at the start of preseason, and Riley a week later.
Hall, 26, went 45 minutes in strong performance during LA's 2-2 draw with Chivas USA in a closed-door scrimmage, repeatedly challenging the Rojiblancos defense as he pressed forward early and often. Neither of the veteran defenders appeared in the scrimmage on Wednesday, but Riley, 31, expects to return see time during LA's preseason friendly against Armenian side FC Shirak this weekend.
HALL: "The camp has been going great. I've been given a lot of work in short period of time, but it is going really well. Every day is a challenge because you have come ready to play since it is a position that everyone is hungry to earn. … I think that I add pace out of the back as well as versatility."
GARGAN: "Bruce is looking for competition in the backline and I'm an experienced guy with a lot of games in this league. I think that Bruce is looking for quality players who can compete every day, and this team has a lot of them."
RILEY: "LA tries to set the bar and I think that's a fantastic environment to come into. I love the challenge and I love the opportunity, and I am prepared for it. … I just want to build on my first two days [in training]. It's definitely a marathon and not a sprint. The tortoise won that race, not the hare so I keep that in mind."
Which of the three players will earn a spot on the roster?

I wear fragrances when I am at home. Sometimes many scents all at the same time
Or do you consider it to be a waste?
I wear fragrances when I am at home. Sometimes many scents all at the same time
For sure! I´m wearing scents anytime, anywhere and solely for my delectation!
Yes and no. Some fragrances I wouldn't wear at home while others I wouldn't hesitate to put on just to smell throughout the day. I wouldn't wear La Nuit de l'Homme at home but I have no problem putting on some Bulgari Black. My favorite scents that I try to use a little more sparingly/special occasions stay off at home while my more casual scents are fine to use whenever.
i do out of habit. it's been terre d'hermes lately.

Sensual pleasure. Can you relate? That's what it's all about.
Yeah, I wear 'em all the time, especially in the house. It's by far the best time to wear them. And I love smelling them on my girlfriend.

Yes of course. Not these days because of my son's infant asthma situation but otherwise yes all the time.
I especially wear perfumes that tend to be skin scents. Unfortunately skin scent dont work well outside the home because one is constantly moving and any projection is blown away. But at home the skins scents shine.
Yes I do...all the time
But just cool water,Adg,Allure sport Unless I want to kill myself with others
Thats why Everyone come into my room says that it smells so good
Yes. Often the most feminine ones, they put me in a gentle mood.
I wear fragrances all the time at home, purely for my own enjoyment.
LOST! in scent and music
I often wear multiple fragrances at home. Sometimes up to five - and that's how you can tell that I'm an addict. Anybody seen the Chandler Burr-bit in that BBC-documentary? That's pretty much how I behave when a new package of eBay-minis arrives.
Absolutely yes!
These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
Yes. Why not?
Why not? Being retired, much of my time is spent around the house but I tend to use something different when I go out.
Definite yes. Terre d'Hermes is getting the most attention at home these days... Love that scent.

I wear scent for my own pleasure, not for others. When I'm in the house, I am there to enjoy it-- so it's not a waste.

Yes! I test all my fragrances around the house before wearing them out in public. If I have nothing to test, then I just wear something I feel like wearing. I do agree with teardrop though, fragrances do not do well with hangovers (I actually tried it once and made it such that I could no longer wear that fragrance without feeling ill).
Any fragrance from my wardrobe, especially since it's not a waste to me for one simple reason: I work almost entirely from home, so
whatever I may waste by fragrance use, I gain by the capacity to work harder, better and more efficiently (since fragrance is also a great mental, emotional and creative stimulator to me)
Its not often I dont wear anything , even when just mooching around I will usually wear some smelly or other
Of course! You may as well ask me "do you wear clothes when you're at home?" It's part of my daily routine.
Fragrance for me is about being happy and living in the moment. I wear whatever I feel like wearing that day and I don't worry about it being "wasted" on just me.
Yes. Usually only when sampling new stuff. However, I'll put something on if I'm in the mood for it..MI is the usual choice.
Yes, nearly all the time.
Of course I do.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Definitely, home is a great test environment. If your primary fragrance audience is yourself, wearing at home is certainly not a waste.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Quite frequently, yes. However, I will admit that it is usually one of my cheaper casual scents that get used around the house. I prefer to reserve the more expensive, formal stuff for when I'm going out, since it helps create a psychological link between those scents and when I'm dressed up. I like the feeling I get when I spray those fragrances on and I know I'm headed out somewhere nice!
Sure I do
It's hard to avoid it, since I usually apply before putting on my shirt ... not something I'm comfortable with waiting on until I'm out of the house. The mosquitoes would love it, but I don't think I would.
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each!" - Henry David Thoreau
Most definitely. I wear a particular frag to please myself first and foremost.
Yes. They're for my own enjoyment, first and foremost.
Yes, out of my personal enjoyment and more importantly to do skin test of new fragrances. No fragrance is allow to go out of the house without proper skin test
I have a regular rotation that I wear out almost exclusively since they're part of the effect I like to create in public. But at home, all bets are off and I try lots of different frags out. I especially like to wear the cheapest bottles in my collection to bed.
I do. Not only do I wear frags at home - I will even wear niche frags just chillin around the house. This past Saturday AND Sunday I wore Tom Ford TV just relazing watching the British Open. Also every night before I go to sleep, I put a couple shots of L'eau D'issey on.
I buy fragrances for me so it wouldnt make sence if i didnt wear them at home.
Yes. I wear more fragrance when I'm going to be alone. In public, as a city dweller and a school teacher, I usually need to be pretty discrete about fragrance, because I'm often in close quarters with people who may not deal well with perfume on various levels. Time alone is the best for sinking deep into the pleasures of fragrance. Not least because smelling yourself repeatedly looks odd in public.
'...And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist...'
I think "normal" people who aren't like us only wear fragrances going out to special occasions. I sometimes wear a frag to bed so I can smell it on me in the morning lol...
Time to musk up.
If I want to try samples, it's in house only. If I have something odd and/or powerful that I want to wear in public, I wear it around the house a few times so I know how much I can apply without offending.
But just as often, I'll spray on one of my faves just to enjoy it (although seldom with expensive/limited edition bottles)
My top 5: Sea Mist; Minnow; Crab, tiger, and almonds; Semprini; Rancid Polecat N° 2
I use perfume 24/7.
It´s a pleasure to me!

The topic you link is regarding Platform Pro, Platform Pro and PageLines Framework are two separate products. bbPress and BuddyPress should work with PageLines Lite although, with the lite version having options/settings missing that are only available in the Pro version, some things may not be possible.
I haven't actually ever checked bbPress/BuddyPress on PageLines Lite.Go to the full post

If you think there is an awareness day, week or entire month for everything under the sun, you're right. Some, to be sure, seem much more important than others.
There's Constitution Week, a great idea for delving into the historic document that created the Land of the Free.
And who could argue with giving special recognition to those most lovables of an earlier generation? That's Grandparents Day.
Then there's the pickle. Sweet, dill, kosher, what have you – lifted up for both a national and international week.
Among the most serious – and potentially helpful – of these recognitions take place each year in May.
We're in the midst of Stroke Awareness Month. Becoming familiar with the signs of stroke and what you can do to prevent it could save the life of a loved one – or you own life.
In Eastern North Carolina, we live in
More women than men have strokes, more blacks and Hispanics than whites.
No matter your gender, race or ethnic background, it's smart to know the signs of stoke so that you can act swiftly if you see them.
Fast action is important. Strokes are treatable and the faster one gets treatment, the greater then chances of recovery.
The signs of stroke are easy to spot:
Is your balance off?
Is your speech slurred?
Is your face droopy?
Numbness in your face, arm, leg?
Severe headache?
Things look blurred?
And it's never too late to change your lifestyle so that you lessen your chances of stroke.
Stop smoking. Exercise. Eat healthy foods. And see your doctor regularly.
For most of us, good health begins before the symptoms of bad health occur. Rather than working on recovery, why not do all you can to prevent health problems?
We encourage Sun Journal readers to learn the signs of stroke and call 911 if they experience any of the signs themselves or with another person. And while you are at it, take steps toward keeping yourself healthy. Encourage those you love to do the same.
Before the calendar flips on Stroke Awareness Month, commit to doing all you can to loosen the Stoke Belt around

Silicones Meet the Needs of the Electronics Industry
Remarkable silicones. The combination of their unique ability to maintain physical properties across a wide range of temperature, humidity, and frequency--combined with their flexibility--set them apart. Silicone based adhesives, sealants, potting and encapsulation compounds are used in hundreds of consumer, business, medical, and military electronic systems. In this white paper, learn what makes silicones different from other organic polymers, why their properties remain stable across different temperatures, and how they have played a major role in the rapid innovation of the electronics industry.May 12, 2015
ASIC Design Made Cost Effective with Low Cost Tools and Masks
For smaller projects or companies with modest design budgets, ASIC design is becoming a viable option due to low cost design tools and easy access to flexible, mature IC processes. This is especially compelling for developing mixed-signal ASICs for cost-sensitive sensor applications for the Internet of things (IoT). This paper discusses how costs and risks can be reduced using multi-project wafer services, coupled with affordable design tools for developing mixed-signal ASICs. April 13, 2015

Understanding DefectsMore Webcasts
July 2015 (Date and time TBD)
Yield improvement and production engineers working on today's ICs encounter many challenges as defects affecting device operation go undetected by traditional in-line techniques. Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) is a suite of techniques that helps the modern day fab increase yields by isolating faults to areas small enough for Physical Failure Analysis (PFA). In this Webinar, we showcase a few of the proven EFA fault isolation techniques and describe how EFA helps to characterize the underlying defects.
