I you do want to get started drawing, just grab some paper and pencil and sketch whatever is on your desk - your keys, your glasses, a pot of pens, your non-drawing hand. Get a feel for line and shadow and shape, and go from there. Start small and simple and work your way up.

Sorry, I don't off the top of my head, but folks around here are pretty good about giving artistic advice, especially as it applies to art for comics.
And, after 240 pages of comic art, you'd be surprised on how much practice that is. I'd just get started. Or, if you're picky, do a smaller throw-away comic project that will help you get your skills up for the Big One. If you want to make a 3-5 page throw-away comic, one page at a time, I'd gladly give you advice on each page. (Not that I'm the world's greatest artist, but I know other better artists here will chip in).
I think I might need to start a little slower-- I can barely draw a circle, or a straight line, or make something symmetrical.
I appreciate the tips though. I reckon I should practice with some character sketches of my guys and gal in costume and street clothes to start off. I think getting a solidified look down on paper for all of them is important no matter who winds up doing the art.
I'll let you guys know if I have anything to show you!

After browsing through this forum more, I would like to add a note that we are willing to discuss a price for up front payments per page. What we can afford to offer per page may depend on how many pages you do. I probably can't afford to pay ten dollars for the 230+ pages currently written, but perhaps we can afford five dollars a page for a 30 page issue, or something. It will need to be negotiated between myself, my partners, and the artist. But honestly, at this point I am willing to invest to see this project come to life. I think I might justify the cost as a Christmas present to my co-writer.

Update: I've had a second artist express interest. However, there are 3 main plot lines in the first story arc, and a different artist would be dandy for each. Also, time will tell if this artist will follow through or not. So if you have an interest (or a tip on how I should go about this search,) let me know!
I can be emailed at
if people prefer not to post discuss things directly on the forum.

Post subject: I've got a fever... and the only cure is MORE ARTISTS.
Hi yall. Im Morgan Vierling, posting on behalf of myself and my co-writer, Victor Thompson. We have about 240 pages of script done, and are looking for help getting it drawn. We technically already have an artist in our friend Ryan. But, Ryan, well hes proved unreliable for a long time now. Hes doesnt have the time or the discipline. We have no finalized pages from him, and only a handful sketched out. So we either need someone who can assist him, drawing certain scenes or perhaps handling the coloring process, or a person or persons capable of taking over the reins entirely.
Our comic is going to be ongoing indefinitely with short story arcs. We like to think of it as a character driven series, but there is a heavy emphasis on action as well. Our main focus is on a core group of six young people who find themselves recruited into a sponsored superhero team. The roster includes Null, who projects fields which dampen kinetic energy, and Silhouette, whose body has transformed into a near-fluid state. The team struggles to fight the good fight in a world where superpowers are rapidly becoming a dime a dozen. Common themes include the reshaping of a new world order, escapism, faith, and what it actually means to be human. The title of the comic is The Elect, and no, that does not make it a Christian comic, despite the reference and a focus on the faith of some characters.
What we currently have completed is the first story arc. It is broken up into eight issues, averaging about 30 pages each. The average page is between 4-6 panels. We are not feeling especially picky about the style of art of employed, with one exception. We strongly prefer a Western style to an Eastern style. We are not going for a manga look here. This doesnt mean that those of you with an Eastern influence need not apply. It just means that we are more inclined to pick someone whose style fits our personal taste.
As for realism, this is a serious story, and we arent going for a goofy aesthetic. That said, some of our favorite artists tend to employ more stylized than realistic art, and that can work just fine with us. For some examples of art we love, check out:
Ryan Ottelys work on Invincible (just google it, its pretty much all amazing.)
Stuart Immonens work on Nextwave:
And Cameron Stewarts work on Batman and Robin.
We would strongly prefer color, but if that isnt practical, we are more than open to black and white. Some of our panel descriptions have a focus on color, but we can rework the aesthetic to accommodate black and white as well. Dr. McNinja, for example, did great things without color- I sometimes wish they hadnt switched over.
Hosting will of course be our responsibility, and not the artist's.
Finally, what we can offer the artist is not as much as we would like. We could perhaps make a small, upfront payment- something like a dollar a page- we dont have the money to pay you what you would deserve for this project. Which means that we need to offer other incentives. Should the comic make money, the artist will of course be entitled to a fair share of the profits.
The exact percentage is up for negotiation, depending upon the level of input from the artist. If you are only helping Ryan draw half the pages, or you are simply coloring, then you of course will get less than a person willing to draw all eight issues in their entirety. That said, we have no plans to be greedy. We want this drawn for creative reasons, and if we need to give you half the earnings to get it done, we wont starve.
One last note- we are currently in the process of researching what we need to do to copyright our material, and thus are going to be careful about what we send out. If we dont already have adequate records proving these ideas are our own, we will within the week. So please dont try and steal from us, assembled internet.
Now, let us leave you with a couple samples of our writing. Character descriptions arent really included here, since they are described elsewhere, but let me know if you guys want them.
Hope some of you like what you see, and we look forward to working with any interested parties.
Time Caption: Now
4 equal panels, stacked on top of each other. Move the camera in each panel, so we get a different dynamic perspective of the team talking. Each one should be a close up on at least the members talking. Background up to you, could be the Null field, could be bad guys, whatever.
Panel 1: Sledge is on her feet, looking a little groggy, since she just got up after being zapped unconscious, but shes getting ready to kick ass. Null is holding one pistol, and pocketing the other as he looks around.
Val: All right, how are we doing this?
Null: We should fall back. We can move somewhere they cant swarm us
Panel 2: Lynn, who is standing in the lead now, shoots a remark over her shoulder at Null.
Lynn: *$(% that. Their genefreaks down, and we have momentum.
Im calling a Hail Mary; its time for us to drop as many as we can before they run off
Panel 3: Sledge cracks her knuckles, Tim looks apprehensive and has an arrow notched.
Val: I like the way you think, Silhouette. Lets get this over with.
Tim: Uh, guys, maybe we should listen to Null here
Panel 4: Lynn and Val have stepped up front, and have their eyes front and center.
Lynn: You can hang back and mop up if you want to, boys. Sledge and I will have this wrapped up quick.
You hit them high, Ill hit them low. Ready?
Panel 1: Sledge takes off from the ground in an arc, taking her to the huge line of goons in front of them. Shes attracting their attention and bullets are being fired in her direction. Lynn, Meanwhile, is fast oozing across the ground in a kind of a snake like form, but without a distinct head or anything, just long and tubular. Null is turning and running the other way, towards Pierce. Timisnt sure which way to go.
Null: Shit! Tim, just follow me!
Panel 2: The front most goons, who had their eyes on Sledge, are suddenly find their legs sweeped out from under them by the snaking Lynn.
Panel 3: Just as the next dudes in line have their attention drawn by Lynn, Sledge comes crashing down feet first like a meteorite behind them, scattering goons.
Panel 4: Null and Timare running to Pierce. The dudes who were beating him up before are in their way, so Timis delivering a jumping kick to ones face. Another is swinging his bat at Null, but a field is stopping the bat mid swing. Null is shifting his grip on the gun, so he is holding it by the barrel for a pistol whip. I picture a side camera view.
Tim: Judo Kick!
Panel 5: Null is swinging grip of the gun into the goons temple like its a hatchet. Dude is obviously not happy about this. If space allows, you can show Tim hitting another dude in the background.
Null: Youre having a little too much fun here, man.
Pierce p. 1
Time Caption: 8 Weeks in the Future.
Panel 1: Wide across top of page. Black.
Panel 2: Another all-black panel, this time with a single speech bubble in the middle.
Tux (Unattributed): Lights.
Panel 3: The lights are on and we see Stoker sitting at a gray table in a gray room. He looks like the light is bothering him, like hes just woken up or something. Hes wearing pajamas.
Panel 4: Stoker looks like somethings got his attention.
Tux (Unattributed): Youre not in bed, Peter. Now wake up and listen to me.
Stoker: Huhwah?
Panel 5: Wide across bottom of the page. Tux is sitting at the gray table, his folded hands resting on the table project a false sense of patience.
Tux: Sol City was supposed to be my Camelot of Crime, the exemplar to which the rest of my empire modeled itself.
Of course, I cant run a world-wide organization and bother myself with the goings-on of one city. Thats micromanaging. Thats inefficient.
Pierce p. 2
Panel 1: Another wide panel with Tux patiently sitting at the table.
Tux: I needed the best man I had to handle this city for me, to cultivate my capitol.
Do you still think yourself the best man for the job, Mr. Stoker?
Panel 2: Stoker is looking confident, like he thinks Tux is joking with him and is about to offer him a raise or something.
Stoker: Well, strictly speaking by the, ah, numbers, Id say &@#$ yes.
Panel 3: Tux is handing Stoker a manila envelope.
Tux: I hope you wont mind explaining a few things to me, then.
Panel 4: Stoker is taking the envelope. He has a smug smile on his face.
Stoker: Ah, is that what this is about, a few numbers irregularities?
Panel 5: Wide across bottom. Tux is standing on the right of the page, leaning with his arms on the table, getting all up in Stokers face. Hes probably shouting at him. Stoker looks surprised and almost like hes hiding behind the folder.
Tux: Did you think I would waste my time here with a few numbers irregularities?
You think your meager skimming off the top would warrant my personal attention?
Pierce p. 3
Panel 1: Stoker is reading the contents of the folder with a worried look on his face. Imagine reading your own death warrant for the first time in front of the executioner.
Stoker: I uh well
Panel 2: Tux is reaching into his bag for something else.
Tux: Truly eloquent, Pete. You should write a novel someday.
Theres one other thing I thought you should look at.
Panel 3: Big panel in the middle of the page. Tux flings the decapitated head of Bedrock, one of the metas involved in murdering Pierce. Bedrock is essentially just a big rock-man. I always imagine him with a ponytail of regular hair, for some reason.
Bedrocks head: Hey, boss.
Panel 4: Stoker is freaking out
Stoker: Wh-wh-wh Wheres his body?
Panel 5: Tux is standing behind Bedrocks head, kinda to the right.
Tux: Being made of stone, Bedrock has a quite unique biology. In short, we now know that he can survive rather brutal dismemberment.
Tell him what you told me.
Bedrock: Well
Sorry for the formatting- it reads a little better on a word document.

Color Scheme and Logo... Purple Haze's avatar is badass
Color Scheme and Logo... Purple Haze's avatar is badass
Any name can have a good color scheme and logo. Doesn't mean I like the name. You could name a team 'The Turds' and come up with an awesome color scheme and logo.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
I think we need more than Black and White, we're not from Brooklyn
Everybody wants a name change unless its not the name they want. As long as its in NOLA I will love the team.
Man nobody wants that weak *** name. It's not even intimidating. Make it NOLA Knights and make the colors purple and black or black and gold
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
If you really wanted an intimidating name, more people would've been on my one man Reapers bandwagon. Or maybe it was me and someone else that came up with the name. I dunno.
Oh and don't forget the Arc(h)angels).
id rather the new orleans gonorrhea bandits over the pelicans
Pelicans is pretty horrible. I still like New Orleans Drillers.
Drill baby drill.
A poll should be added to this to see how many people like Pelicans. I'm curious.
I joke, but I'm not crazy about it. All the same, the name won't matter in a year anyway. I know I mocked Thunder...doesn't matter now.
Those are my favorite rebrand concepts so far. I feel this way; some names in the NBA are terrible and not intimadating at all. Example: Lakers. I know they were originally Minnesota and had geographical relations to the state when they were there, but still, a pretty sissy name no matter what it means geographically to the state. This name is obviously owned by one of the elite power-houses in this league and no one hardly ever thinks anything of it. A name, no matter what (Unless of course it's something utterly and blatantly stupid, which this name is not) will eventually grow on everyone. And this meets the criteria of relating to the city and state that most of you have asked for.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
Could short hand it as the Pelcs. Similar to the first syllable of Celtics.
Pelicans would grow on me if we had an awesome logo in black and gold...
Isn't Big Bird a pelican?

Allister Coetzee has lamented a wasted opportunity following the Stormers' semi-final exit but still considers the 2012 campaign a relative success.
The Cape side went into the play-offs with a 14 from 16 record, an unbeaten record at Newlands, and the South African conference title. It was a run of form that created an expectation, and it's fair to say that the Stormers failed to live up to that expectation on Saturday.
In the game that mattered, the Stormers weren't accurate enough on attack. They failed to take their chances in the first half, and were forced to play catch-up rugby in the second.
Saturday's semi-final defeat is the Cape side's fourth play-off loss in three seasons. It's a damning record if you take it at face value, but as Coetzee has pointed out at various stages of the season, there have been some significant setbacks in 2012. In a way, it's a surprise that the Stormers have got this far.
The Stormers played the Sharks on Saturday without Schalk Burger or Duane Vermeulen. Three players, namely prop Steven Kitshoff, openside flank Siya Kolisi and lock Eben Etzebeth were playing in their first knockout game. The Stormers' injury situation at loose forward had also forced Coetzee to field Deon Fourie, a specialist hooker, at No 8.
Coetzee didn't try to make excuses for Saturday' performance. Indeed there were some unforgivable mistakes made by the Stormers, and not all of those were made by the rookies.
'The Sharks put us under pressure, especially in the first half,' said Coetzee. 'We did not respond well. It's very disappointing.
'There were too many mistakes. Our kicking execution was poor and they did well to put our set piece under pressure. We struggled to get out of our own half.'
The Stormers coach wasn't, however, completely displeased with the performance or the manner in which the team has conducted itself this season.
He conceded that it may be difficult for people to accept – and the Cape rugby public has been waiting since 2001 for a major title – but he doesn't believe this side has underperformed.
'If you take the emotion out of it, we are one of the three sides that have improved this season. The other two have been the Sharks and the Chiefs.
'I think we've taken a big step in the right direction,' he said. 'It was a setback losing those players to injury, but then we did manage to win some close games throughout the season without them. I'm flipping proud that we were so close tonight, we almost forced it to go into extra time. We stood up to them physically and were never lacking for effort.
'I know that at some franchises they won't get that much criticism if they win just three games in a season, but the standards in Cape Town are very high. I respect that, and to all those fans out there, we are hurting just like you. But we will never stop fighting, we are going to get into a final and win that cup. We believe in this group and we will take a lesson from this.'
While Coetzee offered some perspective, captain Jean de Villiers was absolutely inconsolable. The Springbok centre produced one of the best performances of his Super Rugby career and still it wasn't enough to help the Stormers progress to the final.
'It's a very tough one to swallow,' De Villiers said. 'We couldn't have prepared better, and we had the attitude and commitment, but we just didn't take our opportunities.
'Believe me when I say, I'm starting to doubt myself and my own captaincy, I've been in this situation so many times,' he added, alluding to the semi-final against the Crusaders at Newlands last year. Burger went down with an injury early in the second half, and De Villiers led the team in his absence. The Stormers ended up losing 29-10.
'We want to get answers, but it's tough. I don't know what to say. We've been through some dark times this season and have still managed to pull through, and in that way I'm proud of this team. It's just a pity about tonight.
'It's a feeling that won't go away easily, and I'm sure we will still be feeling it next week. But I suppose we have to look at the positives.
'A year ago I sat here talking to you after a loss to the Crusaders. It's a different situation on this occasion, as we weren't really in that Crusaders game. We came close [against the Sharks], so we are getting there with very small steps.'
By Jon Cardinelli, at Newlands

Canadian Tire reaches agreement to sell a non-strategic real estate asset for $149.7 million
TORONTO, Oct. 30 /CNW/ - Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited (CTC, CTC.a)today announced that it has reached agreement on the sale of approximately40-acres of surplus lands in the Leslie and Sheppard area of Toronto to
Concord Adex Investments Limited of Vancouver for total proceeds of $149.7million. In addition to the purchase price, the purchaser will make significant infrastructure investments in the local road network and toward the creation of a community park.
The lands are located at the site of Canadian Tire's former warehouse property at Sheppard Avenue and Leslie Street in the North York region of Toronto. The site has been zoned for four million square feet of residential
use, representing approximately 4,000 residential units. Canadian Tire will retain approximately three acres of land for future use and will also retain the existing Canadian Tire store site, which also includes a Mark's Work Wearhouse store.
"By selling this property in Toronto we are continuing to surface value from our surplus real estate assets that no longer hold strategic value, a key imperative of our current strategic plan," said Tom Gauld, president and CEO,
Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited.
The structure of the transaction includes payment terms over 10 years or faster at the discretion of Concord Adex. The agreement follows a North American-wide competitive bid process. The transaction structure and purchase
price are designed to maximize the value of the site, reflecting the significant upfront infrastructure investment required by the purchaser as well as the phased build-out schedule required due to the size of the property.
Scheduled to close by the end of November 2006, the transaction will result in pre-tax earnings of approximately $121 million. A gain of approximately $51 million will be recorded on closing, with the remaining $70 million recorded as imputed interest over the life of the agreement. The gain of $51 million will be treated as a non-operating item and as such this transaction will not change the Company's existing earnings guidance for 2006 of $4.25 to $4.40 per share excluding non-operating items.
Canadian Tire owns about 70 percent of its Canadian Tire Retail store network and leases the majority of its other retail properties. Canadian Tire views its Canadian Tire Retail store network as strategic assets due to the
important flexibility real estate ownership provides for its continued store transformation activities. This transaction is part of Canadian Tire's stated strategy to monetize non-strategic real estate assets, which also includes the
ongoing disposition of surplus real estate created by the store network transformation activities.
Most recently, the Company announced a sale-leaseback transaction for two distribution centres in the first quarter of 2006, yielding a $50 million gain. In 2005, the Company undertook a sale-leaseback transaction of a Canadian Tire- anchored multi-tenant urban property in Vancouver and sold a property zoned for residential use in Toronto.

Two hundred years ago this April, the General Land Office (GLO) opened its doors for business. Today that "land office business" continues at the Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States office, which will commemorate the occasion with events scheduled throughout the year.
In 1812, a young American nation faced the challenge of transforming wilderness to agricultural use and acquiring the revenue to pay its war debts. The GLO was established to handle the business associated with the sale of public lands for private ownership, transforming wilderness to agricultural use, and generating income for the Federal government. The GLO, in fact, became the "Gateway to Land Ownership" for millions of Americans. As the successor agency to the original GLO, the BLM, a bureau of the Department of the Interior, was established in 1946 with the merger of the Grazing Service and the GLO.

Click here or on the graphic above to view a brief tour of the GLO at BLM's Eastern States Office, including the fireproof vault, document scanning, and bindery.
All of the documents in the General Land Office have their beginnings in a cadastral survey, establishing the proper boundaries of federal lands. Surveying has a rich tradition in the U.S.-- many of the founding fathers and signers of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were practicing surveyors. Click on this link or the photo below to view a brief video on the role of BLM surveyors and how they retrace original land boundaries.
Sure, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were both involved. But it was Albert Gallatin (below), the Secretary of the Treasury in 1812, who championed the surveying and recording of public land information. Two centuries later, we're still at it. Read more>>>
Kyle Sullivan, an intern with the BLM Colorado State Office, created an innovative presentation on the General Land Office. The presentation includes photos, videos, a timeline, and additional facts about BLM and its mission. To view the show, click here or on the image below.

Diarrhea Planet Biography & News
About Diarrhea Planet
Are gastrointestinal problems music to your ears? (Created 10/11/2013)
A lot of boys with rock star ambitions have probably thought about what they would one day name their band. Something meaningful … something attention-grabbing. Something like… Diarrhea Planet?
Meet the Nashville –based group that doesn't mind being compared to a literal ass explosion. (Hey, it's hard to be PC when talking diarrhea). And if you must know, the name comes from the time the band's members spent at Belmost University, which, according to vocalist/guitarist Jordan Smith, is not exactly a great name to be dropping around Music City (who knew?). Thus the band members decided to come up with the most obnoxious, unlistenable name they could think of. The end result of endless brainstorming was the birth of Diarrhea Planet.
Of course their fan base also has a nickname, but it's not as gross as one would think. Instead of the Diarrhetics, fans of the band are referred to as Planeteers (in homage to Captain Planet). Other fun facts the band will reveal? They couldn't get a booking agent, their parents initially hated the name and they consider New Orleans 'the worst city for getting diarreha,' according to an interview on the website NOISEY.
In all seriousness, this now six-piece rock and roll band has been compared in some way to The Ramones holding Van Halen hostage with an arsenal of fireworks and explosives. Their self-released EP, "Aloha," became a sleeper online sensation, and the band is now signed to Nashville's Infinity Cat Recordings. They have traveled up and down the East Coast in support of their numerous releases, including the full-length album "Loose Jewels," which dropped on September 20th.

Many who lost their homes to Sandy have told us that they don't want to give up their pets, but that they have nowhere to keep them. In response, today the ASPCA is opening a 20,000 square-foot emergency boarding facility for hundreds of animals displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
Located in central Brooklyn, this emergency boarding service is offered to those who need a place to house their animals until they can get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for pets of those in evacuation centers, as well as pets whose families are already boarding them at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn.
This effort is greatly aided by a $500,000 grant from generous animal lover Rachael Ray, as well as the donations of our compassionate supporters.
The ASPCA is operating this facility in collaboration with Animal Care & Control of NYC, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Veterinary Response Team, and the NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
"We will continue our disaster relief work to help animal victims in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and hope that the emergency boarding facility will allow pet parents to focus on rebuilding their lives," says ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Senior Director Tim Rickey. "It will take time, but we will work as a community, and the ASPCA will continue to provide ongoing assistance, personnel and resources as long as we're needed."
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and needs to temporarily house an animal at our facility, please see the details below.
Where: Pet parents in need can bring their animals directly to the emergency boarding facility, located at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11233, as early as today. Map
When: Starting today, the facility will be open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and will remain open for 30 days.
Standard of care: Veterinarians and specially trained staff will care for these pets and keep them healthy and happy, and pet parents will be welcome to visit.
What to bring: Pet parents are encouraged to bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency boarding facility: one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID, or non-driver ID) and a proof of address (i.e. utility bill, driver's license). If possible, we encourage people to put ID tags on their pets and bring a carrier or crate, vaccination records, and medications or supplies for pets with special needs.
Is there an address for donations to ASPCA that will be used specifically for pets from Sandy?
and not go to the general society funds.
I would love to extend my home to any animal in need. Please let me know if there's anything I can do.
I can foster a cat and dog. I already have 1 cat so the ones needing foster care need to be okay with the cat I already own
My cat is accustomed to living with a dog and another cat
We will foster a dog in need. We have a house in bayside. 2 loving adults with experience with pets.
Please let me know how and when I can volunteer at the shelter. Thank you.
Please let me know if you need help at emergency shelter.
Ty so much for this service! My pup has no where to go we just lost our whole apt. On our way to find out more info. Hope they take care of our english bully!
I would be happy to foster any animal that needs a place while you are looking for a place to live.
Our community, Jamestown, RI, has many animal lovers who would like to help with donations of items or cash intended for animal victims of Sandy and their families. Let us know what you need the most.
We have a 7 yr old lab and live in CT on the water would be happy to take in a dog until owner able to take home Please email me.

Snohomish remains unbeaten, beats Mariner 2-1
Snohomish benefits from controversial handball call, then outlasts short-handed Mariner
Genna Martin / The Herald
Mariner's Cristhian Robles (left) tries to plead his case to the ref as Edgar Navarro holds his head in his hands after a first half goal by Robles was disqualified during the Marauder's game against Snohomish Wednesday night at Mariner High School. The ref ruled that Robles had hit the ball with his hand, Robles contended it was his head.
But in the end the Marauders just couldn't overtake the undefeated Snohomish Panthers.
Snohomish scored on a penalty kick in the 15th minute -- after a Mariner defender was whistled for a handball in the goalkeeper box -- and added another goal in the 60th minute to defeat Mariner 2-1 in a Wesco 4A showdown between the top teams in the North and South.
The game took a drastic turn early on when junior defender Cristhian Robles -- who had already dove to kick away and save one goal earlier in the game -- was sent off with a red card for using his hand in front of the goal to stop a Snohomish shot. Robles, and the rest of the Mariner team including head coach Vince DeSimone, argued that he had used his head to block the shot.
Instead the referee awarded a penalty kick to Snohomish and seconds later Uriel Herrera put it in the back of the net to give the Panthers a 1-0 advantage.
"I don't believe that was a handball," DeSimone said. "He's a great defender. He went with the head."
Snohomish head coach Dan Pingrey said he didn't see the play, but saw his players reactions to it.
"I didn't see the handball. I saw all our guys saying it was a handball. I think he's a keeper," Pingrey said of Robles, who is a keeper for a select team. "I think he did some reaction there."
Despite being down a player, the Mariner team continued to apply pressure on Snohomish for the rest of the half. The Marauders outshot Snohomish in the first half and had several scoring opportunities in the second half as well.
"It's their home field. They were working real hard," Pingrey said. "Being down a man, they didn't go into a defensive mode. We were playing into some of their strengths with some long ball stuff that we didn't need to do. But when you're tired, your brain goes with that. To their credit, they were high-pressure and working hard and playing well. It made for a good, competitive match."
In the second half, Snohomish seemed a bit sharper, and found itself with more chances to score. Tyler Mayer gave the Panthers some breathing room in the 60th minute after taking the ball away from Mariner, dribbling through a couple Marauder defenders and shooting the ball into the net from about 25 yards out.
Pingrey said that at the break he told his team to continue to attack and not get lax against Mariner just because they had one less player on the field.
"We were focusing on, 'Hey, they're a man down.' We need to still play our game," Pingrey said. "You have to match up. You have to match up on players. They were working hard."
As a reward for that hard work, the Marauders ruined Snohomish's shutout with 14 seconds to go in the game. In the 80th minute, Mariner's Edgar Navarro scored from about 20 yards out with a shot that went over Panthers goalkeeper Ryan Peters' head to give the game its final score.
DeSimone was proud of his team for fighting until the end of the game and said it once again demonstrated the resilience the Mariner soccer team has had all season.
"This team never, never dies. They always keep on coming back," DeSimone said. "We can be behind 1-0, 2-0 -- like tonight -- and they'll keep on fighting back. They keep their composure and keep playing the game."
The game featured Snohomish (7-0 league, 9-0 overall), the top team in the Wesco 4A North against Mariner (5-1-1, 5-2-1), the top team in the South. The two teams battled throughout, despite the fact that Snohomish had a one-man advantage over the Marauders.
In anticipation of a hard-fought game, Pingrey said the Panthers had a laid-back practice on Tuesday. Snohomish, playing in its fourth game in six days, had a different focus than usual.
"We knew that we'd be in for a battle," Pingrey said. "Our focus (Tuesday) was stretching because we knew we were going to be in a battle and we couldn't afford to waste any energy. ... They're always good. They've got quality players. Vince has done a good job with this team."
After Wednesday's game, Pingrey said he decided to give his team -- which doesn't play again until Apr. 9 -- a well-deserved four-day break.
"Yeah, they get a little spring break now," Pingrey said. "...They need to rest bodies and minds."
At Goddard Stadium
Goals--Uriel Herrera (S), Tyler Mayer (S), Edgar Navarro (M). Goalkeepers--Snohomish: Ryan Peters. Mariner: Silvan Katynskiy. Records--Snohomish 7-0-0 league, 9-0-0 overall. Mariner 5-1-1, 5-2-1.

The AKC standard is only for black, chocolate and yellow. However, there are breeders whom are breeding dogs with lighter and lighter black -- as well as dogs that have the mutant 'blue' gene that creates the silver color such as in the Weimaraner. Same goes for a variation of the yellow color that is considered a Red Labrador. These dogs can not be AKC registered unless the breeder lies about the coloration of the dog on the AKC papers and they are not suitable for confirmation shows.5/7/2015 6:27:02 PM
The AKC registers the Diluted coat colors by the base color of the coat. Silver is Diluted Chocolate, registered as Chocolate. Champagne is diluted Yellow, registered as Yellow. Charcoal is diluted Black, registered as Black. They are not lying about coat color, rather doing as they were instructed to do.5/11/2015 7:48:33 AM

You can buy a puppy from any person you want. The OFA testing is to ensure new puppy owners that the sire and dam, as well as the other dogs in the pedigree have a hip score that you can understand. A breeder can promise anything to anyone, however, since they do guarantee hips for 2 years, that is a good incentive. Please understand that most hip problems unless it is genetic can be traced back to an injury or over-exercise within the first 2 years of the dogs life. So as long as you take pracauctions to ensure your dog does not injury him/herself then I don't think it would be a problem.5/7/2015 10:44:37 AM
It is best to bring your dog to the vet and contact the breeder you got your dog from. This can happen if a male dog lives with a female intact dog at all times. But if the behavior continues I would suggest contacting your breeder -- but take him to the vet for sure.3/16/2015 12:42:52 PM
Any breed can welcome a new baby to the family, but you must understand that every dog is different. Some dogs can easily adjust to having a baby in the family, while other's do not adjust well at all. A well bred, well socialized and well trained dog should have no problem adjusting. But you must allow the dog the time to adjust and a space to call it's own to get away from the baby-craziness when it needs a break. All interactions between a dog and a baby, or child of any size should be supervised at all times.2/7/2015 3:29:01 PM
The Labrador breed is a very versatile breed of dog, which can make puppies be very different depending on lineage. Dogs whom are bred for hunting tend to have more energy and by more active, while dogs whom are bred for show or just as a companion dog tend to be a little lower in the energy department. The Labrador is an intelligent breed of dog that needs early positive reinforcement based training. Training times all depend on the dog, the owner and how much time the owner spends training the puppy every day. All dogs should be on a high quality, grain-free dog food unless the dog is eating raw. Dogs are carnivores and should be eating grain-free dog food that fits their lifestyle best.2/2/2015 4:29:21 PM
Some Labradors will be born with a brown nose. The "red" coloration for the Labrador is not a registered color and so there are no standards for it. Some dogs noses will turn to black, while other's will stay brown. Some have been known to be a mixture, depending on the dog. If your pup's nose is not black by 6 weeks old, I would be concerned as to whether it will change at all. 1/26/2015 6:10:38 PM
First off, you need to take both your dam and the puppies to the vet. Puppies and the dam should be checked out within three days of giving birth/being born. Puppies should not be rehomed until at least 8 weeks of age. Although, between 10 - 12 weeks of age is better for the puppies, as it gives them more time to learn social skills from their siblings and mother. Unless your puppies are papered purebreds and both the dam and sire are titled, then you should sell your puppies for about what it would cost to spay/neuter in your area, plus what it costs you for the first round of shots. So if it costs $200.00 for a spay/neuter on average and the whole litter cost $120.00 for shots, then you should charge $320.00, as that will help you cover your food costs and the shots given to the puppies. But also so you know that the people adopting your puppies have the funds available to spay/neuter their dog when it is at the right age so not to add to the over-population issue.12/24/2014 10:15:53 AM
The average life-span of the Labrador Retriever is 10 - 11 years. But in recent years because of the popularity of the breed, the life-span of the breed can be 8 - 9 years because of bad breeding. Finding a reputable, qualified and knowledgeable breeder is key to getting a healthy pup. However, diet and exercise is also key in this breed. The Labrador needs two hours of hard running exercise a day once the dog has fully developed. This breed easily packs on weight, so a high quality, grain-free diet is key to keeping this breed healthy for it's entire life. Once a dog is over the age of 6, they can be considered middle/old age depending on the breed. Keeping an eye on your dog and routine vet visits will help catch any problems that may occur with an aging dog.10/27/2014 6:33:42 PM
Depending on how their life style is depends on their life span. Some Labradors can live up into 14-16 years while others live through 12-14 years. They are sport dogs so they need plenty of exercise a day. I wouldn't recommend hard running but maybe games of fetch or walks around the block. Maybe an hour to a hour and a half of exercise.3/28/2015 11:36:24 PM
No, it is not cruel at all. In fact, it is a good thing. Reserving your puppy tells the breeder that you are serious about taking your puppy home. It is a good thing that you aren't able to bring it home until a little later. Your puppy will get more of a chance to learn skills from it's mother and litter mate's. 8 weeks old is the earliest a puppy should go home, but bringing a puppy home at 12 - 14 weeks gives you even more of an advantage.7/7/2014 9:51:26 AM
The size of a puppy all depends on the linage of the parents and if the breeder cares about standard size or not. There are many different 'types' of Labrador's, such as the American and the European, which have differences in body style. On average, the pup at 8 weeks old, which is the earliest you should ever get a pup, should be around 9-13 lbs. But again, every puppy is different and depending on the food you are feeding and how much exercise a puppy is getting will also change the weight of the puppy.6/24/2014 9:44:47 AM
Labrador Retriever's are very high energy dogs that give into their prey drive quite easily, since they were bred for retrieving. If you want a Labrador, the best thing to do is to find a responsible and reputable breeder that will socialize your new puppy to cats from a very, very early age. Then it is up to you as an owner to teach your pup to respect cats. This can easily be done using positive reinforcement training such as clicker or marker training.4/29/2014 3:32:31 PM
We've had numerous labs who have grown up with and have been great with all our cats. 1/20/2015 8:42:16 PM
Dogs in general are known for eating grass. This, however, is normally not a problem unless the owner is seems that the dog is consistently eating grass and then throwing up. Back in days when dogs were wolves, the wolves would eat every part of the animal that they killed for food, including the stomach contents of the herbivore. Dogs today will eat grass for the same reason, to get a nutrient that their bodies are craving. Dogs will also eat grass if they have an upset stomach as they know if they eat a lot of grass, they will throw up. So if your dog is always eating grass and throwing up every time, it's time for a vet visit. But if she eating grass and not having any issues, then she is fine.4/29/2014 3:37:04 PM
If she is not eating her food, but eating treats, then your dog is being picky. You should be feeding your dog a high quality grain-free dog food. The better nutrition and taste will make any picky dog eat.7/11/2014 1:11:56 PM
There is no solid rule as to how long your dog can be left alone. Generally, it depends on how well the dog has been house broken. Mine naps most of the day and occasionally plays with his chew toy. If you're going to leave the dog alone for 8 hours or so, just make sure water and access to a bathroom should be your concern. Any dog that has to be left to himself for a few days is just irresponsible and should be left with another caretaker.2/28/2014 10:55:52 PM
It depends. If your lab is older it is okay to leave them in my experience,but he/she needs a place to go to the bathroom. When my dog was younger a couple hours and he would start to chew on things. So 2-4 hours. I would say. But I'm not an expert4/27/2014 8:37:01 PM
Color has nothing to do with hunting ability. If you want a good hunting dog look at the titles in it's pedigree. On another not, depending on yellow and chocolate recessive genes, you will likely end up with some (if not all) black puppies.
I agree with the original responder in regards to hunting ability. Does the ivory dog have a liver or black nose? If black nosed, you will most likely end up with some (if not all) black puppies. If the dog has a liver colored nose, she/he carries the gene for chocolate and chocolate puppies are a possibility. To have a true grasp of the coat color possibilities, you need to DNA test for each dog's coat color code. You can test for the presence of yellow (E Locus) and chocolate (B Locus). If your chocolate carries no yellow (EE), you will have no yellow puppies. If your yellow (ivory) carries no chocolate (BB), you will have no chocolates. Everything would revert back to black.3/18/2014 7:50:20 AM
Your dog could have an allergy or kennel cough. I would take the dog to the vet. Kennel cough is highly contagious to other dogs12/13/2013 6:05:41 AM
It would be what it is! Mixed, what is more noticed about the dog? Does it look more lab or pit? Then if it looks more than the other, that is most likely it will be that bred1/7/2014 1:09:35 PM
Once the dog is 5-6 weeks past when her heat cycle started (4 weeks after ovulation), you can take her to a veterinarian and get an ultrasound done to confirm pregnancy - sorry, there is no EPT for dogs3/7/2014 12:47:04 PM
About ten to twelve years if well taken care of and healthy.11/24/2013 10:57:01 AM
They usually live 10 to 12 years.6/10/2014 2:30:45 AM
Set a routine. Only give your Labrador Retriever puppy water and food up to four times a day( at first) then let him/her out half an hour after he/she eats or drinks. If you crate train him/her, make sure the cage is only big enough for the dog to turn around in. Dont do the puppy pads! That gives the dog a mentality that its ok to go in the house, no matter what ppl tell you. Scold your dog while its going in the house, not after, because the dog will not understand what it did wrong. Been a dog trainer for 10 years. 6/19/2013 1:42:09 AM

You can't really stop your lab from shedding - my advice would be to bathe her once or twice every month and make sure you groom regularly. Most dogs have a wet dog smell after you bathe them. 5/7/2013 11:27:14 PM
You can't really stop your lab from shedding but I know a great brush that gets rid of so much hair. The ferminator brush is an amazing brush! It could get rid of pound of hair just laying on your dog and it also gets deep into the hair to get our the nasty stuff. Its a great product! I sugguest using it!6/11/2013 5:29:49 PM
Labs shed year round. You can try using fish oil capsules once a day. The same ones people take. Don't give fish oil to a pregnant dog.8/27/2013 11:50:04 AM
You can't stop it. No shampoo can help my dog sheds sooooo MUCH. I will sweep the floor and she will walk right where I swept and it looks like I didn't sweep at all!4/27/2014 8:40:26 PM
Fish Oil Capsules.Open them up, spread it on the food. We have a beagle and he sheds terribly. We did that and hes reduced shedding SOO much. Dogs shedding usually means they are nervous or scared3/28/2015 11:43:42 PM
Generally, your dog will stay by your side, especially Labradors. Even if they are used as stud dogs, I would not worry too much.8/23/2013 2:46:06 PM
A stud dog can smell a female in heat 2 miles away. He may mark more territory at this time. Yes he may wander. Hopefully the families with a girl in heat are keeping her indoors.8/27/2013 11:52:58 AM

after they are 3 period4/4/2013 5:33:41 PM
After Labs have had their hips and elbows evaluated by the OFA. They have to be 24 months for the OFA evaluation. They should also have their CERF, and cleared for EIC and CNM - minimum. Both the bitch and stud should have these health checks done before even thinking about breeding.3/7/2014 12:51:37 PM
My cousins breeds labs and she said some get pregnant at 2 years old.4/27/2014 8:41:30 PM
Like I told another person the ferminator is the best brush in the world! It gets rid of shedding for a while and could take pounds off your dog. It may take a little of time but it is the best thing to use! 6/11/2013 5:31:23 PM
Well, I do believe they can have mental retardation. I know mine does. But she loves the water. It is not a bad thing that Dixie doesn't like the water some dogs like it others dont4/27/2014 8:46:05 PM
Did you get her as a puppy? or just you rescue her because ewe rescued a Labrador and he is scared of somethings we think he might have been abused and or wasn't socialized as a puppy.
Hope this helped.If not just ask another question :)11/19/2013 10:49:57 PM
The most loving gentle, caring, protective, special, smart, courageous, wonderful, calm, energetic (yes they are calm and energetic) dogs ever. I'm a teen and the best dog ever,buddy, passed a few years ago. My mom had me when she was in college so when she had to study she took buddy and I to the park so she could study when I was a baby, barely able to walk. Buddy would walk right next to me the whole and catch me when I fell. My mom said when she first brought me home buddy didn't know what to do with me, but he figured it out and became the most protective and best dog EVER!!!!!! I love buddy forever and always4/27/2014 9:10:37 PM
It depends on you. Labs are the seventh smartest dogs. As the grow they will learn your habits and adapt to them. You hunt or fish, they will know what a fishing or gun means,and boy are they ready! My lab Churchill will get his leash on Saturday morning because it means I'm going to the bank (they give doggie treats). They can get bored and will do things to try your patients. It just means they want attention.
I will say this, having a lab will get you ready for parenthood. There personalities are different but fun to experience.4/8/2015 8:50:57 PM

He got the contraband into the trunk of his car before the light of day could shine on his crime.
Becoming a smuggler wasn't something to which he aspired. He followed the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments and the million laws of man most of his life. But things were getting tougher. Life was scary and getting scarier. He was a family man and he had lives to protect now. Every day, it seemed, there were more lives that needed protection, lives too young to exist alone. There was too much pressure to keep him from doing what he felt was the right thing.
He pulled out of his driveway. Got to be careful, he repeated his mantra. Drive the speed limit. Make sure you come to a complete stop at the intersections. No probable cause.
But for all his care, for all his planning, fate stepped in.
Up ahead he saw the flashing blue lights of a routine traffic check. His hands and face began to sweat.
"May I see your license, registration and proof of insurance, please," the officer asked.
He produced his papers.
"Do you have any guns, knives, bombs or incendiary devices?"
"No, sir,"
"Are you hauling any whiskey, women or drugs?"
"No, sir."
"Are you carrying any …" the officer paused, listening to the air. He moved toward the trunk of the man's car.
"Sir, would you open up your trunk, please?"
"I don't understand, I …"
"Please sir, don't make it hard on yourself."
With that, the man opened the trunk, then stood back, his eyes closed in resignation.
The officer moved aside some blankets, revealing the dangerous cargo.
There, beneath the blankets, the litter of puppies squirmed and yelped.
"Sir," the officer asked, "Do you have permits for these? Any paperwork?"
The man slowly shook his head.
"Well, I guess I don't have to tell you that you're in violation of Moore's Law," the officer said.
"But these are mixed-breed pups," the man challenged.
The officer flashed his light on the litter, carefully inspecting each one.
"Well, sir, I can see they are mixed-breed, but they are predominantly pit bulls, one of the prohibited aggressive breeds. And as you know, if they are predominantly of the restricted breeds, they are illegal to own without the proper permits and paperwork in North Carolina."
The man remembered a time when the thoughts of owning certain dogs would have been considered ludicrous, ridiculous, an overstepping of the powers of government. But that was many years ago, back in 2013 before that legislator Rodney Moore from Mecklenburg County sponsored the bill declaring pit bulls, rottweilers, mastiffs, chows, wolf hybrids and a breed known as Perro de Presa Canarios to be aggressive breeds, requiring their owners to meet certain standards and obtain proper permits. The law considered these dogs as dangerous as firearms.
The officer took out a small card from his citation book and read the man the metes and bounds of Moore's Law.
"… owners of these target animals are required to undergo proper State Bureau of Investigation and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background checks …"
"…t o have their names processed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check system or through the Administrative Office of the Courts ..."
"… and said owners must complete any four-hour educational classes required by the law through the Humane Society of the United States or some other rescue organization for the target breeds or any course approved by the Department of Insurance ..."
"… and owners are also required to notify their homeowners' or renters' insurance policy carriers …"
"… to get proper permits from the Department of Insurance and carry those papers of proof with you …"
The man was numb. He just wanted to save the dogs. More and more of these breeds kept flooding into the shelters. The rescue organizations were swamped. These animals were being put down daily and in large numbers.
"I just want to get them out of state, to some place where they are accepted and not euthanized. They are suffering for what they are, for what they might do," he implored.
"I understand what you're saying," the officer said. "But the law's the law. We can't allow just anybody to own these dogs. It's a very dangerous proposition. It's a matter of public health. Why don't you just get a nice collie or cocker spaniel and leave these dangerous dogs to the people who know how to handle them?"
The man countered, "But who's going to go through the trouble of getting permits to own dogs? Who's going to agree to go to school to learn to handle them? Who's willing to pay more for a permit and a higher insurance bill to keep them according to law? This law makes people guilty of a crime that hasn't even happened yet, don't you see?"
The argument fell on deaf ears. The pups were being put into a patrol car to take to the animal shelter. The officer handed the man a citation for the class 3 misdemeanor and explained he could pay the fine or go to court.
The man stared at the paper and knew it was true what people had said back in 2013 when the law was being debated: When pit bulls are outlawed, only outlaws will have pit bulls.

Gallery: Incredible Floating Pre-Fab Neighborhood Pops Up in The Nether...
Houseboats have been around for quite a while, and the Dutch have built some extraordinary ones. Building floating neighborhoods is the next obvious step, as development pressure is making terrestrial resources increasingly scarce. The 75 mixed income units on the Steigereiland (Jetty Island), located on the IJ Lake, are very similar in look, with only subdued colors and various heights distinguishing them from each other. The triangular dock layout and differing distances between rows help keep the development from becoming too uniform. A ring of similar-looking homes on the adjacent dike maintain the clean aesthetic.

Problem of this place, however nice, is that in the middle of this 'pond' stands a big electricity tower. When you are there, you hear it buzzing. It's also unclear if there are long term effects as to living in such close proximity of such a thing.

Hooray for making the best use of what you've got, but what is the long-term effect of a growing number of house boats on the fresh water they are parked on? Lowered photosynthesis due to less light? Less oxygen in the water for the fish due to less plant life?

Pediatric Voice Therapy Clinical Trial
The Pediatric Airway, Voice and Swallowing Center at Mass. Eye and Ear currently conducts a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that investigates the benefits of voice therapy in managing vocal nodules in children ages 6 through 10 years old.
The prevalence of voice disorders in the pediatric population has been estimated as high as 36%. Children suffering from voice disorders are at risk for developmental and behavioral problems, including slower development of communication skills, limited participation in classroom discussion, limited social interaction with peers and interference of appropriate cognitive and psychosocial development. Vocal fold nodules are reportedly the most common voice disorder in school-aged children, and the most commonly recommended treatment for nodules by otolaryngologists is voice therapy.
Currently, there is little standardization of treatment in voice therapy for the pediatric population. Patients enrolled in voice therapy usually have regular absences from school, causing them to take on an increased homework load for 1-3 months. There is also an added strain on the child's family with increased travel time and cost. The benefits of voice therapy in school-aged children have never been closely weighed against these factors.
The goal of our study is to answer the question: Does voice therapy really improve the quality of life for children with hoarseness from vocal nodules? We hope our study will lead to an evidence-based treatment that has been rigorously tested to improve the lives of this sizable population of children.
Children with hoarseness whose parents would like them to participate in this study will undergo an evaluation by specialists to establish the necessary diagnosis of vocal nodules at no cost to the family or insurance company. If a child meets the study criteria, the child and his or her parents will be invited to join the study. If the family decides to participate, they will receive up to 12 weeks of one of two common therapy approaches. All participating children will receive therapy to treat his or her hoarseness through one of these two approaches at no cost to the family or their insurance.

Description / Features
This plugin connects SonarQube to Altassian JIRA in various ways.
Widget JIRA Issues
SonarQube retrieves the number of issues associated to a project from JIRA. It then reports on the total number of issues and distribution by priority.
Link a SonarQube issue to a JIRA ticket
This feature allows you to link a SonarQubeissue to a JIRA issue. It will create a new JIRA ticket.
When logged in, you should find the "Link to JIRA" action available on any issue:
You can enter any comment and after you press "Link to JIRA", a new review comment is added on the issue: you can see the link to the newly-created JIRA ticket.
And the corresponding JIRA look like:
- Install the plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the SonarQube server
Jira 3.x
Jira 4.x
Jira 5.x
- Install the plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the SonarQube server
Mandatory Properties
At project or global level go to Settings > JIRA and set the
sonar.jira.login.secured and
sonar.jira.password.secured properties.
To Display Data on the JIRA Issues Widget
Log in to your JIRA instance and create a filter. Mark it as favorite. You can also share this filter with your team in order to allow usage of URL for issues in SonarQube.
And finally specify the
sonar.jira.url.paramproperty for project or module: this is the name of an issue filter that you have previously created on JIRA (check JIRA documentation to know more about issue filters).
To Create JIRA Issues
Set the
sonar.jira.project.key property that is the key of the JIRA project on which this SonarQube plugin will generate tickets
Note that you can also configure the issue type, the component, the priorities. Browse the JIRA setting page on the web interface for a complete list.
Q: I see the following warning in SonarQube logs when using the JIRA plugin:
[WARN] [18:32:24.426] Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.
A: This is a message from the Axis SOAP client we are using to talk to your JIRA. You can safely ignore this message. Attachment support is not used anyway.
- Q: I have configured my JIRA instance so that some fields are mandatory. Because SonarQube does not populate these fields then issue creation fails. How can I make it work?
- A: The
sonar.jira.issue.component.idproperty can be defined at project level. For other fields the suggested workaround is to create a new issue type in JIRA (for exemple "Quality issue") and set the
sonar.jira.issue.type.idproperty accordingly.
