woow, neat stuff man,
you are very creative
and i think, if you improve your knowledge about drawing/painting, your
very good working imagination can make you to one of the masters =)
November 26th, 2005 #4
i'm gonna try and keep posting once in a while, and probably i'll post rought sketches instead of work like the on u see above
November 26th, 2005 #5
Haha, carriage being attacked by monsters is pretty cool, I don't know why the guy by the giant hand is smiling though. Dig the Forest Gnoll too. Make sure you do some studies too, in addition to the imagination stuff.

Great to see more people of my age group here. Great start here. I agree that you have a very creative imagination, so youre almost set for some truely awsome sketches. Some of the sketches could have looked more real though, my art teacher is a harse critic of my fantasty art being to cliche. So you may need to look at real things and change them into something fantastic rather than drawing straight from the imagination. Good work on the digital pics too!

My favourite is the same as Miau's, the avatar one.
Very nice works.
Shame you have to work with the thumbnails though.
What I love about CA is the "in your face" artwork posting.
I don't like thumbnails for these kind of forums, but mayby your host doesn't allow it.
Anyway, it shouldn't affect your work.

you're right hypronost, it's just that i've got some problems on this PC and can't get to my imageshack account.So i just copied the links to thumbnail from another forum where i posted these, instead of uploading them all again thx everyone, i'll try to post some sketches soon
November 27th, 2005 #9
These are amazing for sketches TheGnoll. The pirate got me the most,lol. Truley a great start to a sketchbook. I only recommend that you watch yourself with proportion and perspective. You have great potential in the fantasy genre, for sure. keep at it.
November 27th, 2005 #10
These are so sweet. (Should deskribe em as incredible considering your age).
Keep posting....
November 29th, 2005 #11
You totally should have posted that DSG Claw posterior. You have alot of detail and live in your drawings. Keep up the good work.
December 5th, 2005 #12
here's some new stuff.From now on i won't post the thumbnails but direct links to images
sketch of the face of a rakshasa, for a project i'm doing

jeez competition is really strong around here, this freaking thread will disappear in no time, i just don't have the time to scan the damn stuff
December 10th, 2005 #14
There is some good stuff in here! You definitely need to do more studies, but right now your creativity is your strongest weapon. Your anatomy isn't terrible and the poses are stronger than what I usually come up with. There are two areas where I think you could improve fairly easily: Line, and composition.
The weight (thickness) and value (darkness) of your lines are the same all over. This makes your sketches look flat and less interesting. Try varying your weight and value as you work to see what effects they have. One technique you'll see a lot is to use darker/thicker lines to silhouette your subject, and use thiner/lighter lines inside that border. Also thiner lines can be used to show what is farther from the viewer. Also don't limit yourself to simple lines. Lines can be hard or soft, a line can be the boundry between areas of different color or value, you can even describe things by the absence of line.
Composition is a harder problem. Basically it is the use of contrast to control where the viewers eye travels. Prometheus's magnum tutorial has a lot of useful ideas about how to acheve this: http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htmOkay, that is as close as I can come to constructive criticism. Just keep working on the basics, expanding your knowledge, and most importantly don't give up your creativity. Creativity is the fire, all the rest of this is just fuel.
Your more finished drawings seem to have a lot of small details all competing for focus. Also there isn't any difference in value or line between the forground and background. Even sketches can benefit from composition, to see a great example of this in action checkout Lungbugs SB:http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...ht=lung+sketch

January 9th, 2006 #19
Your anatomy is getting pretty strong! I esp. like this one: your link. A few of your figures are looking a little stiff or awkward. For awkwardness try to think about how your figure is sitting on the ground, would they be able to stand like that or would they fall over? Think about where/how their weight is supported. For stiffness: your guess is as good as mine. Life drawing is supposed to help.

Also, post your work sawewise as you already did on post #12. Leaving c&c at other peoples sb's might help you spread the word of your existance on ca.org.

argh, indeed you are right about these damn thumbnails, it's just that i am soooo used to post thumbnails, i always end up doing it!
Anyway, what size can the pic be?
i'll try to just post those from the next one, i promise
thx anyway, i'll try to post around a little bit more^^
January 18th, 2006 #24
ok, i promise, no more thumbnails, BUT POST HERE!
this is just some crappy stuff done with photoshop (still learning, be patient ) I'll try to post some interesting stuff, i just have to scan it.
January 18th, 2006 #25
Ahh, no more thumbnails....hmmmmm what a delight
thx for droping by at my sb.
I've never tried photoshop, but I know there are great tutorials to be found on this forum. So your approach on last one's the best I'd say. (There's also something of a peergroup activity or something round here, where they have assignments on how to apply basics in photoshop)
The first two are sort of naive and cheesy. Besides that, I like how you tried to get some lighsource thing going on. I would not advise you to use black or greish colours (first pic) unless it's supposed to be a B&W picture. You could use dark blue tones for example or colouredgrey. You also could add some perceptual depth to these enviros. By the use of sfumato or warm tones in foreground and bluish in background. The moon on second one does not look like a moon colourwise and lightsources on sclouds are confusing, although I like the way you did em.
Will try to check in some time again. Wish you the best on your progress with photoshop.
January 18th, 2006 #26
thx again for the support blacky, i really appreciate it
The landscape look a bit cheesy cause they were for a school thing, i'll try to do something more interesting next time.Thanks a lot for the comments on the landscapes, ill keep what you said about lightsources, sfumato etc in mind
apart from that, i'm gonna slowly re-post all the pics and make the whole topic thumbnail free , then you all will have no excuses^^

really nice job ! your pretty original in your mythic beasts designs
my only crit, some of your older drawings seem a little flat , out of perspective. practicing simple forms in perspective would really help you add more bulk to your figures
keep it up !
January 21st, 2006 #29
really some of the older drawings are originally based on Warhammer Fantasy's Beastmen, but just the general concept, not the pic itself
I'll keep what you said about perspective in mind, i am already practicing,at the moment i'm studing Figure Drawing For all'its worth , by A.Loomis (great stuff).
Anyway thx for the comments (more more more )
January 21st, 2006 #30
Nice updates, miss background on last 3 though (or at least s.th. not to make em look like cut out from somewhere and pasted on blank sheet of paper)
Those pen lines give em nice contrast , so the're easier to read. (Great)

By Laura Firszt, Networx
Water from flooding or plumbing problems can be a very destructive force in your home. Be prepared for a possible emergency scenario so that you can act quickly should water damage actually occur. Here are the essentials you need to know.
Be Prepared
Make sure that your homeowner's insurance policy covers water damage. Have the insurance company's 24-hour emergency number handy on your cell phone and land line and on a business card in your wallet in case you do not have access to your telephones.
Maintain an up-to-date list of major possessions and their approximate value, recording new items as you purchase them.
Keep a charged emergency light and a camera easily accessible. Having safety gear (rubber gloves, boots and a face mask) at hand is also recommended.
Show all adult household members where the main switches for electricity and water are.
Teach children to tell a grownup immediately if they see water in any unusual places in the home.
Set up a secure place – a neighbor or relative's home – to take your kids to in an urgent situation.
Keep copies of important documents such as your house deed on your computer and in a waterproof box. Valuable possessions like jewelry or coin collections should be stored in your safe deposit box when not in use.
First Response
Make sure everyone is safe and accounted for.
Call your insurance company and check out the best course of action.
Wear rubber boots or other non-conductive footgear and avoid standing in water. Turn off your main power switch safely; if this is impossible, call a professional electrician.
Identify the source of the water – for example, a roof leak due to heavy rainfall. In a dry area like Nevada, the cause is more likely to be a blocked pipe or an overflowing appliance. Turn off the main source of water and contact a plumber if necessary.
Take photographs or video and make notes on the damage you see.
Open all the windows if it is not raining.
Salvage Your Possessions
Remove small items which are expensive or have sentimental value.
If you can do so safely, unplug your electrical appliances. Move small electronics out of harm's way. Dry thoroughly before attempting to use them again.
Pull up the carpet (a major water absorber) and remove it to a dry place. The under padding acts like a sponge and will probably have to be discarded.
Movable items, such as upholstered or wooden furniture, that are thoroughly soaked should be taken outside if feasible. Otherwise place them in the shower or bathtub.
Photocopy essential papers if you have not already backed them up.
Remove Standing Water and Clean Up
Distinguish between white water (clean liquid, as from a broken pipe), gray water (containing traces of detergent or food, perhaps from a dishwasher) and black water (contaminated sewage). Hire a professional to deal with toxic black water.

Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
I was looking for a little more drop on my diamondback podium sport than what the stock stem could provide, part install was a snap got the fit I was looking for and the white stem on my 2012 podium sport really pops with the dark frame.
Best Uses
Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
The white color adds some bling. The grip of the clamps is good. The weight and quality of the item is very high. Would recommend. Dont have carbon bars so can't comment on that.
Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
This stem lasted me two seasons of hard riding on my road bike. However, it ultimately broke on a rather rough ride through staten island in NYC. The break point was near one of the bolts and Jensen. On tributes my purchase price towards a Thomson stem. Very cool of them.
Best Uses
Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
Easton makes some of the best aluminum and carbon fiber bike components, period. The EA90 stem is their top-of-the line stem and boy is it light. The machining is gorgeous, the design is subtle, and it's strong as hell. This stem just looks fast. I coupled it with the MonkeyLite Carbon fiber stem and it looks great, and feels light as air. I love Easton stuff, and this stem doesn't disappoint.
Best Uses
Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
Very easy to use. Like the bolting of the faceplate. It is very secure around the Easton EA70 drop bar I attached to it. The stem has no movement or flex in any direction except a slight bit rotationally. Definitely feels like I have more control over the bike with this stem than the stock Giant stem that was on my bike.
The mat white finish shows dirt and grease smears easily. Cleans well though.
Comments about Easton EA90 Stem:
Easton products seems well made, I had no problems with the EC 90 bar along with the EA 90 stem.

I can't decide if the new PvP area in Ilum in The Old Republic is genius or madness. All I know is that it is pretty hilarious.
To recap, the latest patch introduced a new area with dailies on Ilum. All rewards are cosmetic, aside from the fact that you unlock new bosses at some point. I believe the bosses drop gear from existing raids. There are 6 dailies in total, 4 in the PvE area, and 2 in the PvP area. So the PvP dailies are reasonably optional.
(At least as far as I am concerned. But there are a lot of people who disagree with me.)
The PvP area is interesting. It's a free-for-all zone, so you can attack your own faction. Only 4-person groups are permitted in the area. Larger raids get disbanded automatically.
The PvP objects respawn somewhat slowly. So there is significant advantage to killing other groups, because you remove your competition, and get your dailies done faster. As well, it gives the PvP groups points over which to fight.
It's really funny because people in chat are trying to get the factions to work together, and groups are instead randomly slaughtering each other. Area chat is hilarious.The Imperial side is convinced that the Republic is working together as a team, while the Imperials are attacking each other. Ironically, this seems very true to form, and totally in-character for each faction. I blame the Sith.
(Though the Republic side is probably saying the same thing.)
The design of the new area is quite well thought out, in my opinion. Free-for-all keeps things balanced on servers with unbalanced factions. Small teams only keeps the feel of multiple forces running around, prevents raids from stomping everyone, and gives tanks and healers a place in combat. The quest objects and respawn timers give people something to fight over, rather than simply ganking. Plus, it's only 2 of 6 quests, so it is pretty optional if you absolutely hate PvP.
The final interesting note is that this is a temporary event, though it will be repeated in the future. By making it temporary, it means that when the event appears again, everyone will flock to it again. This keeps the numbers high and many people involved, which is essential for good PvP.
All in all, this looks like a winner for the SWTOR dev team.

Redbeard, you only have to come to Stranglethorn arena for that when the chest spawns. Since the chest have been made an achievement, there's always people there, even at night. An statistically you every person that comes has 1 in 13 chance to be a gnome.

@Souldrinker-- I'm not at max level yet for this expac. My new main --a rogue-- is still mired somewhere around L49 or so, and dropping into the arena when the chest drops would be suicide.
Still, the thought is intriguing when I get to max level.

actualy from personal experience, empire was mostly trying to keep truce, while pugs gank everything and anyone, including their own faction. I've pretty much given up on even trying to complete any of the pvp dailies. and again, my opinion? that was not a successful implementation of world pvp. /shrug

Customer Raves & Reviews
I ordered this save the date without the pictures and chose our wedding colors best as I could get them, I was a little worried because I had to trust the colors on the computer and I think it's very hard to do that online, but when I received them the other day in the mail I was so happy the color was exact. I love this design it fit our personalities, we are of the tattooed community and we have a great sense of humor so these are perfect for us and I think they are great for anyone. I highly recommend these save the dates. No one will be disappointed.

They're two entirely different scents, there's nothing to compare but the name.
Egoiste Platinum
Which do you prefer?

Wanted: a cap of Bvlgari Thé Vert
Wanted: L' Artisan Timbuktu or Fragonard Concerto

PE, without a doubt. Wearing it right now.

I prefer Egoiste Concentree
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
I prefer and really got to like egoiste. Using the egoiste concentree though.
PE is good but I say Egoiste is far better,
Egoiste it is.
Offsite Sales - Updated June7th
Vintage Dia, Vetiver Dry, Angel parfum, Opium parfum for Sale:
There's something about the dominant spice note in Egoiste - nutmegish - that doesn't mesh with me.
Thus, Platinum gets my vote.

I love the original. Rosewood, spices and a lovely oriental base. IMO, the Platinum version has nothing to do with the original; it's way too mainstream.

They're two totally different beasts.
I'd take Egoiste.
I voted for Platinum Egoiste.
Current Top 5
1. Creed Aventus
2. A*Men Pure Malt
3. L'instant Extreme
4. Nasomatto Duro
5. CDG - Kyoto
My vote is for Egoiste.
I love Jasmine.
They both get sour and sweaty on me.
I don't understand why people like this so much...
Because when I smell it on other people, it also smells sweaty.
212 Men by Caroline Herrera does the same thing to me.
Egoiste is the better / more interesting scent... Platinum Egoiste is more versatile though...
Platinum Egoiste for me.. The other is too stuffy

.................................................. ...................I'm gonna memorize your name.. and then i'm gonna throw my head away!!........:bounce:.............
I got both, but Egoiste would be my choice, if I only can choose one. Chanel is a great house!
Égoïste, by far.
As far as I'm concerned, however, Jacques Polge could piss in a bottle, and I'd probably wear it. Well, not quite, but you get the idea...
Looking for: Vento Canale, da Gianni Campagna.
I agree with stereotomy .

Platinum Egoiste by far! It is my main scent I wear and the amount of compliments I get is just unreal.
Egoiste smells like Christmas in Candyland or something, it's a heavy scent that reminds me of gingerbread cookies.
Although both are nice scents to me, Egoiste is the clear winner.
I`ve got both but if i had to choose one it would be Egoiste.
Only tried PE so far, and that was only off a paper strip. I wasn't blown away, but I rarely am when smelling something that isn't on me.
I wear both, but Platinum Egoiste is my preferred fragrance by a country mile. As someone else said, it's more versatile - and woman always remark on it when I wear it, which they have never done when I've worn Egoiste.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
Except for the sweetness and the name, there's nothing in common between the two - as many others have pointed before me.
PE is more versatile, I agree, but the original is so much more interesting. I owned PE for a while but I got bored with it and swapped it away - instead I got myself a bottle of Egoiste, which I think is a keeper.
PE because I draw the line at smelling like flowers.
Egoiste is the scent for me......absolutely adore it. Platinum is totally different to the original. I think Chanel should remove Egoiste Platinum from the bottle and market it as Platinum. The two scents are not similar at all.
Egoiste hands down
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
The Fact that both perfumes share "Egoiste"on their name, does not mean at all, that they will smell alike.
This is like comparing Caviar and Chocolate.
Egoiste is a Fantastic Fragrance and Rumor has it, that its mother was the Chanel's Iconic Classic Bois des Îsles
Egoiste Platinum is a Fougére - What does that mean? Fougére - The class of fragrances have the basic accord with a top-note of lavender and base-notes of oakmoss and coumarin.
I find Egoiste beautiful and PE vile.
By far Egoiste over PE, any day. Platinum Egoiste is ok, but just ok (too much like furniture polish for my liking)... Egoiste is simply wonderful!!
LOST! in scent and music
Platinum Egoiste, Schmatinum Egoiste.
OG Egoiste all day.

Too many trolls in here acting like goons.
I would have much preferred the good ol' 'first come first serve' way of selling. I preferred Dipt over Livestock for this reason. Livestock has done raffles since the Tan Yeezy 1s released while Dipt was doing it the right way.
Getting something shouldn't be left up to chance. The odds of winning are going to be extremely low since people and their moms, dads, and grandparents will be making entry ballots with this 'online' raffle. Camping/lining up, is a privilege. It's either you are or you are not able to. For the people that would have been able to, it would have been best of luck to them. Whereas for the people that wouldn't have been able to camp out, well they would be left with dealing with the reseller's price.....and rightfully so.

Comments about Easton EC90 XC Flat Handlebar 2013:
Really like the bar and will continue to use it. One small disappointment was that I also bought the XC70 as well. There is supposed to be 10gms between the 2 bars with the XC 90 at 110gms and the XC 70 at 120. Just out of curiousity I compared the 2 weights to find that the XC 90 weighted 120 and the XC 70 weighted 121. The reason I was a little disappointed was that the XC 70 was another 20mm wider and still pretty much the same weight. I wish they would describe more accurately the weights or at least say they can't make them a perfect weight every time so might be -/+ 10 grams. When buying an extreme lite, high end bar I feel like 10grams is a lot of discrepancy. But that's just me

Comments about Easton EC90 XC Flat Handlebar 2013:
I installed this handlebar on my 2012 Specialized Hardrock SD 29er. This is my first carbon bar and was impressed with the style and weight. Compared to the stock bar, it is less than half the weight. This really lightened up the front of my bike and helps me snap around those curves on the trail. I found this bar in the clearance bin at such a price, that I bought a spare just in case I ever need it. Bottom line: it's light, doesn't have excessive graphics, and gives noticeable performance you can feel.

Product Description
We love round tables. They offer the best opportunities for dinner conversation since everyone sits equally at them in a circle. Because this design floats on a pedestal instead of four legs, equal spacing of seats becomes possible regardless of how many guests are eating together.
The Boggs pedestal bases are hefty solid posts with feet and arms joined by sliding dovetails, reinforced with custom steel brackets for superb strength. Tops are attached to allow the wood to move freely while held firmly to the base. The long pedestal feet ensure maximum stability.
Designed by Brian Boggs
This table is custom made to fit your home and budget. Please call us at (828) 398-9701 or fill out the form below to discuss your specific needs.

London 2012 didn't really go to plan for the Kenyan athletics squad. David Rudisha's wonderfully smooth world record run in the 800m may have been one of the most spectacular moments of the Games but in the distance events, the disciplines they've virtually made their own over the past decade, they were convincingly outperformed.
Britain's Mo Farah comfortably saw off his African rivals in the 5000m and 10,000m, Kenya's much vaunted marathon runners were pipped to the gold by the little known Ugandan Stephen Kiprotich and most disappointingly, double World Champion Vivian Cheruiyot was outshone by the Ethiopians in the women's long distance events.
Twelve months ago, the diminutive Cheruiyot was leaving the world trailing in her wake as she stormed to two golds in Daegu but in London she came up against two runners in Meseret Defar and Tirunesh Dibaba who will go down among the greatest of all time. Defar won her first gold in Athens back in 2004 and Dibaba is now a three-time Olympic gold medallist.
However if Cheruiyot is disappointed, she's doing a good job of hiding it. We speak a few days after she was outsprinted by Defar in the 5000m and she seems mainly relieved to finally possess an Olympic medal (she won silver behind Defar and bronze behind Dibaba in the 10,000m)."At the Olympics there is more pressure (than the World Championships) as they are only every four years so if you miss that year you have to wait and you never know if you will be still good after another four years. It's a very good thing to get a medal," she explains.
Like many other champions and medallists in London (Jessica Ennis and Carmelita Jeter first spring to mind), Cheruiyot's relief stems from past Olympic heartbreak. A medal contender going into Beijing four years ago, Cheruiyot fell ill and was far from her best as she finished fifth.
"Yes, the London Olympics have been much more significant because at the 2000 Olympics I was still very young and in 2008 I was sick but thankfully this year I was ok. It has been so nice for me (to make the podium at the Olympics) because they were the only important medals that I was missing, having won the World Championships in the past." she says.

Diablo Edge Irons/Hybrids Combo Set
Product Overview
The longest stainless steel irons we've ever created.
The Diablo Edge Combo Sets provide increased distance without compromising feel or performance. The lower, deeper center of gravity (CG) in the short irons makes the sweet spot more accessible and is in line with where amateurs most commonly hit the ball on the clubface, generating longer, consistent distance and improved accuracy. The long irons in the Diablo Edge Combo Sets have been replaced with hybrids specifically designed to provide golfers with a more forgiving, distance enhancing alternative.
- Maximized Distance (Irons): A lower, deeper CG is designed to make the sweet spot more accessible at lower impact locations. This generates longer, more consistent distance and improves accuracy for more greens in regulation.
- Solid Impact Sole (Irons): Delivering smooth turf interaction, the sole is designed to mitigate the effects of heavy and thin shots and improve the impact location on the face for greater distance.
- Enhanced Feel and Performance (Irons): Callaway Golf core technologies like VFT, S2H2, a 360-Degree Undercut Channel and Modified Tru-Bore work together to maximize distance, feel and playability.
- High, Strong Trajectories that Fly Farther, Land Softer (Hybrids): Vertical CG Optimization uses a thinner crown to allow for a lower center of gravity, putting it in-line with where most amateurs strike the ball on the clubface.
- Better Versatility and Playability (Hybrids): A unique sole design that creates efficient impact with the face to maximize distance, consistency and accuracy from a variety of turf conditions.
- Faster Ball Speeds (Hybrids): VFT® Technology creates higher ball speeds across the entire face, meaning hotter distance with more consistency.
- Higher Confidence, Greater Workability (Hybrids): The offset hosel assists in squaring the clubface at impact while providing a look at address that boosts confidence. The Tour models have less offset to enhance workability.
- Set Options: Also available in standard Diablo Edge Irons including long irons instead of hybrids.

Jean de Villiers believes the Springboks have plenty to work on if they want to achieve victory over the Wallabies in Perth this Saturday.
The Boks have endured an inconsistent start to the Rugby Championship, beating Argentina 27-6 in Cape Town before being held to a 16-16 draw in Mendoza. Their next opponents, the Wallabies, were dominated in their opening Tests against the All Blacks as they were beaten 27-19 in Sydney before going down 22-0 in Auckland.
Both teams have been criticised for these performances, creating plenty of pressure ahead of this weekend's Rugby Championship Test Down Under.
Bok skipper De Villiers said his team enjoyed a good week of preparation, but stressed that they will need to improve if they are to beat the Wallabies – a side they have only beaten once over the last seven encounters.
'Preparations in Perth have been good,' De Villiers said on Friday. 'We weren't happy with our last performance against Argentina. We have a lot to work on. While the preparations have gone well, the trick will be implementing those plans for the full 80 minutes on Saturday.
'I don't think we can read too much into the Wallabies' defeats to the All Blacks. They were up against a quality side, who are ranked No 1 in the world and are the World Cup winners. The Wallabies still showed a lot of positives over those two Tests.
'Over the last seven games, we have only beaten them once. And that says a bit. Both teams will have a point to prove on Saturday, and we will go out to do that.'
However, De Villiers noted that victory in Perth won't be easy. Despite the loss of hooker Stephen Moore (hamstring), he believed there were several other players who will be expected to play a big role for the hosts.
'The Wallabies won't be weakened by the loss of Stephen Moore. They have three world-class hookers, and Tatafu Polota-Nau and Saia Faingaa provide quality back-up. [Lock] Nathan Sharpe also brings a lot to that team up front, and the guys around him will make an impact … like [openside flank] Michael Hooper, who has the abilities to change the game.
'The Wallabies are a skilled team. As as a backline, they are difficult to play against. On attack, they are very good and they are defensively solid. We need to up our game if we want to win.'
This weekend's Bok match 22 will have a different look compared to the last one that faced the Wallabies – an 11-9 World Cup quarter-final defeat in October 2011. There's a huge loss of experience, especially among the forwards, but De Villiers believes the young players will use this opportunity to prove they deserve a starting place.
'In the pack of forwards, we have about 112 Test caps,' said De Villiers. 'Last year, we had John Smit, who had played in 111 Tests, and Victor Matfield, who had played 110 Tests. So there is a big difference in terms of experience.
'But the guys who have come in have done really well. This is a new Springbok team, and this is an opportunity for players to put up hand and stake a claim for position in the side. The guys have realised that.'

Hi all,
I enjoyed watching Sam Harris' interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. There was a question that jumped out at me—I sent Sam a PM about a week ago and didn't hear back (understandably). Anyone else want to take a shot?
In The Daily Show clip, Sam talks about the Judeo-Christian God—Sam's pronouncement is very negative, and the basis of that judgement is whether or not a concept like slavery increases or decreases harmony. Elsewhere, I think Sam uses a similar basis of whether or not a policy increases overall happiness within humanity.
The part that I'm hoping you can help me understand is: from an atheist and philosophical point of view, how can one value be elevated above another as a moral basis for all humanity? That is, I understand why one person can adopt a value of maximizing happiness for everyone. However, what "allows" that person to judge another person's value as inferior? Why is it that increasing overall happiness is taken to be the universal value?
Thanks for your thoughts,

I'm likely the worst suitcase packer in the world but am lucky be married to one of the best. Ann does all of the logistical planning and the packing for our vacations, because if left up to me, we'd bring our stuff aboard in Food Lion "carry-on" sacks.
I want to help more in the process but can't make the case of why it matters what I wear. Ann's attitude is polar opposite, so over the past few weeks, she has been assembling her clothes and which accessories "go" with each outfit.
I believe most men — certainly this one — couldn't care less. My formula for appropriate dress is simple: Warm places equal shorts and sandals. Cold places equal jeans and sandals.
My general disinterest in how I look is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, I'm probably the most comfortable guy in any room, which is of highest personal importance.
On the negative side, I likely scare away some potential clients with my beach-bum raggedness. I tell myself anybody choosing accountants because ties match shirts may have flawed priorities. But who knows?
Times they are a changing. This year, I'm making a concerted effort to clean up my travel act on our yearly adventure. I've even augmented my "wardrobe" with neat stuff I ordered from a store in Hawaii.
I don't know how their catalog found its way to our door, but they had some clothing items that really struck a chord … my chord. Their product descriptions kept using my two favorite styling words, "cotton" and "comfortable."
They offer pants and shorts right down my alley, softest cotton in great colors. And true to the sales hype, their products did turn out to be "unbelievably comfortable."
This isn't an infomercial, but I should mention the store, which is "Crazy Shirts." Unless their clothes fall apart in mid-vacation, you can bet I'll be doing a lot of business with them.
Now, I've done more than "augment" my ratty wardrobe. I'd pretty much replaced my whole suitcase. So this year when we do our tourist thing, strangers won't whisper as we pass by, "Isn't it nice of that attractive lady to help the homeless?"
The only thing lacking for a successful trip was a few tiny items of big importance. Solved! Yesterday, I bought snacks to take on the plane.
Anytime I go aboard a boat or plane, I immediately get hungry. I'm sure there's a clinical explanation, but that's between me and my stomach.
I'd have made a terrible Viking. The crew would've thrown me overboard for raiding the food locker before we rowed from the dock.
I would've likewise been a poor Wright Brother. Could "The Wright Flyer" have risen off the sand dune with added weight of sandwiches and a batch of cookies? My travel munchies might've created a history mystery.

Message of Hope
We Can Prevent Diabetes in Native American Communities
(A Resource of the Diabetes Prevention Program)
What is the future of diabetes prevention in Native American Communities?
As Native people we have all seen how diabetes affects our lives and our communities. Our focus for the future needs to be on prevention, and we now have proof that we have the power to prevent diabetes. Despite our higher risks for the disease, as Indian Communities we can all work toward preventing diabetes by making modest lifestyle changes. Participants in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) have proven that diabetes can be prevented! The message of hope is clear. We can prevent diabetes in ourselves, in our families and in our communities.
What were the results of the DPP?
The findings of the DPP showed that lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, adequate exercise and modest weight loss, can dramatically reduce a person's risk for getting diabetes. The lifestyle changes worked equally well in men and women and in all ethnic groups for preventing diabetes. Although not as effective, the diabetes pill, metformin, also helped to prevent or delay diabetes. But by far, the best way to prevent diabetes is by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Even more encouraging, about twice as many people in the lifestyle group saw their blood sugars return to normal, showing that diet and exercise can reverse prediabetes. With only modest changes in our diets and physical activity along with minimal weight loss, we can reduce our risk for diabetes by 58% in just 3 years! Indian communities have been promoting lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes for decades, but we have not known how much lifestyle change was needed and how dramatically those changes would reduce diabetes. Now, because of the results of the Diabetes Prevention Program, we know that efforts to lose 7% of our weight and exercising 2½ hours a week will dramatically reduce our risk for diabetes.
What is the Diabetes Prevention Program?
The Diabetes Prevention Program was a national study that included several American Indian communities. These communities were the Gila River Indian Community, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Urban Indian community of Phoenix, Zuni Indian Pueblo and the Navajo Nation community in Shiprock, NM. People who chose to participate in the DPP were randomly assigned to receive lifestyle changes, a diabetes pill called metformin (also known as Glucophage) or a placebo (inactive pill). The latter two groups also received general advice on healthy eating and exercise. Everyone in the study had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or prediabetes and was at high risk for developing diabetes. The goal of the study was to learn which of the treatments would most effectively prevent or delay diabetes.
What kind of lifestyle changes did DPP participants make?
The DPP's lifestyle goals were to achieve and maintain a 7% weight loss (14 pounds for someone who weighs 200 pounds) and exercise 2½ hours per week. Walking was the most popular choice for exercise. Participants also cut back on their total caloric intake and the amount of fat they ate. They learned ways to overcome barriers to healthy eating and exercise in order to reach their goals. The classes used are called the Lifestyle Balance Program and are available and can be printed from the web site www.bsc.gwu.edu/dpp/ . Each participant had a lifestyle coach or case manager to assist them in achieving and maintaining their lifestyle changes. Though lifestyle change is not easy, the goals set for DPP participants are achievable. The message of HOPE is clear. All of us can work to reduce diabetes by supporting these lifestyle changes in ourselves, in our families and in our communities.
The Diabetes Prevention Program would like to thank:
All DPP participants, the Gila River Indian Community, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, the Urban Phoenix Indian community, Navajo Nation, the Zuni Indian Pueblo, the National Institutes of Health, the Indian Health Service (IHS), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
More information about the Diabetes Prevention Program and the results of the study are available on the web at www.bsc.gwu.edu/dpp/ .

results of the Diabetes Prevention
Program is available by calling IHS
National Diabetes Program at 505–248–4182 or send an email to
Patricia Hibbeler, DPP Participant: "For me the Diabetes Prevention Program is a message of Hope. We have the power to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes."
Glenda Thomas Fifer, DPP Participant: "I know everybody can do it once they make up their mind. A lot of people out there know it runs in their family and they think 'Okay, I'm going to get it'. No, it's not so. You can prevent it. If I can do it, they can do it."
|Malcolm Bowekaty, Governor, Zuni Indian Pueblo: "As tribal leaders we owe it to our people to say prevention is where we need to make the most impact. For the people of other tribes, make sure your kids get a healthy start. Make sure that you will be around for the next generation so we can have all the tribes prosper."

MUNCIE, Ind. -- Miami rallied from a double-point loss to take four singles victories, giving the RedHawks the 2013 MAC Tournament Championship, 4-3 over Bowling Green. The title is the third in the last five years for Miami, which had dropped 4-3 decisions in the finals in each of the last two championships.
The win was the eighth championship for Miami Athletics this year, a new all-time record for the department. In addition to regular-season and tournament titles in tennis, field hockey and soccer captured both regular- and postseason MAC titles, women's swimming won the MAC Championship and hockey won the final CCHA regular-season crown.
The action was eerily similar to the regular-season meeting between the top two seeds, when the outcome came down to the No. 1 match. That day, like Sunday, junior Nimisha Mohan rallied for the victory, earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors in the process.
Mohan trailed 5-4 in the first set, but broke serve and held for a 6-5 advantage. Bowling Green's Nikki Chiricosta forced the tiebreaker and won the first three points, but Mohan rallied. She won four in a row, then after losing the next point, ran off three more for a 7-4 win to take the first set. Mohan rode the momentum to cruise to a 6-0 victory in the second set.
Miami (13-12) dropped the doubles point, falling at Nos. 2 and 3, 8-3 and 8-4 respectively. Christine Guerrazzi and Ana Rajkovic were the RedHawks' winner, posting an 8-1 victory at No. 1.
Alix Thurman evened the match with a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 2, but Bowling Green surged back ahead by winning the No. 6 match 6-3, 6-0. Rajkovic earned a 6-3, 6-3 victory at No. 5 and Raymond finished off a 6-0, 6-3 decision at No. 3 to give Miami its first lead. The junior was named to the all-tournament team after completing the year 10-0 against MAC opponents.
Bowling Green tied the score at 3-3 when it earned a 6-4, 6-4 triumph at No. 4.
With the victory, Miami earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in two weeks. The RedHawks will learn the opponent and tournament site Tuesday night on the NCAA Selection Show.

Wow! I never knew that about Harley Davidson motorcycles!.
The History Behind the Brand:
Harley Davidson Motorcycles
Harley Davidson is one of the most well known and recognized motorcycle brands on the market today. Whether you're a fan of their motorcycles or not, one thing is certain-they have have managed to greatly impact the motorcycle industry and continue to do so to this day.
Having started as a manufacturer of small engines in 1903, Harley Davidson has grown from a small startup business between two friends to becoming an industry leader. Their designs and innovations have created the classic models we have today which include, the Sportster models-originally conceived for racing, the Softail models, which feature Harley's Big-Twin engine, and their Touring models which include the Harley Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, and Electra Glide.
A close look at Harley's success, reveals an interesting history behind it. Like many companies, Harley has seen its share of ups and downs. For a time, Harley was the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the 1920's. During both world wars, they helped the war effort by supplying the US army with motorcycles, and from their big twin motorcycles, came the creation of the chopper and a whole subculture of chopper enthusiasts and riders.
The infographic below takes us back through time starting from Harley's inception in 1903 to the present day.

Plastic Bags?
- Posted by ruben
- 15 March 2013
To minimise our environmental impact, we try to use as little packaging as possible – we only bag stuff when we really need to.
So if you've been a customer of ours for a while, you may have noticed we've changed the material our bags are made of. They used to be paper, but now they're plastic.
We've switched to recyclable plastic as it is the most widely recycled material available in the UK at this time. They have less environmental impact than paper bags because they weigh less, take up less storage space and use less energy.
Likewise, we've found that recyclable plastic has less environmental impact than degradable plastic. This is because degradable plastic bags cannot be recycled or composted properly in the UK, so they end up as landfill. They leave small traces of plastic in the soil that never break down. They are also known to create more greenhouse gasses than conventional plastics and paper.
The change has had a big effect and more than halved the annual CO2 footprint of our packaging.
We don't pretend that recyclable plastic is perfect. But right now, it is the lowest impact way of packaging our stuff.

Search for a soldier!
This searchable database is adapted from "Muster Rolls of the Participating Companies of American Militia and Minute-Men in The Battle of April 19, 1775" compiled from the Massachusetts State Archives by historian Frank Warren Coburn in 1912.
You can search by name, town, or, if you know it, by company (unit commander's name). Be aware that these muster rolls are incomplete. First of all, these muster rolls are for only those units/towns that saw combat on April 19, 1775. It has been estimated that nearly 4,000 minute and militia-men took part in the fighting that day. However approximately 20,000 soldiers were mobilized over the next few days – an event known as the "Lexington Alarm."
For example, if you believe your ancestor from Barnstable fought at Lexington and Concord, chances are he "marched in response to the Lexington Alarm" but did not actually see combat on April 19th. Also, some militia companies did not submit muster rolls of those who served with them on that historic day.
Please consider this database as a work in progress, to aid in historic and genealogic research. We will add to this database as time and future research allows. Other sources you may consider are your town library or historical society, Massachusetts State Archives, or "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the American Revolutionary War" which can be found in the "special collections" of many local libraries.

Obama signs sequestration order; what's next for feds?
Friday - 3/1/2013, 12:00am EST
President Barack Obama officially put the sequestration order into effect Friday night, as was required under the law. Agencies will now be forced to deal with $85 billion in automatic budget cuts this year.
In addition to signing the order, the Office of Management and Budget also released a sequestration report, outlining, more specifically, where cuts would come from across government agencies.
The cuts will lop about 5 percent from civilian agencies and 8 percent from the Defense Department's top line.
So, what happens now?
Agencies prepping for cuts
Over the past few months, the Office of Management and Budget has issued a handful of guidance, directing agencies how to prepare for and implement the cuts.
OMB has already told agencies to consider cutting contract spending, freezing hiring and even implementing furloughs.
Earlier this week, OMB issued a memo on sequestration life, directing agencies to take even more specific steps to prepare for life under sequestration.
Danny Werfel, the Office of Management and Budget's controller, told agency and department heads to exercise "increased scrutiny" on discretionary bonuses, new hiring, training, and conference and travel spending.
Agencies must also begin making decisions about which contracts and grants they need to cancel, let expire or re-scope, he wrote.
Finally, agencies must nail down specifics on employee furloughs: Which employees will be targeted? How many days will they need to be furloughed? When will notices be sent? And, when will the actual furloughs go into effect? Federal News Radio is following the latest on agency-by-agency furloughs in our Sequestration Tracker.
The Obama administration's top leaders have painted increasingly dire pictures of how the budget cuts could lead to reduced staff levels, imperiling everything from food inspections and air-traffic safety to border patrols.
But on many of the specifics — such as just how many civilian employees will be furloughed across the federal government — there is still a great deal of uncertainty.
Even though the cuts are now upon federal workers, the administration either doesn't know the full impact on the workforce — or isn't saying. As of last Friday, OMB said it was still crunching the numbers as to how many non-DoD employees will face furloughs because of sequestration.
Furlough fears
For federal employees, the most direct threat from the budget cuts is the likelihood of employee furloughs. But feds shouldn't expect pink slips immediately.
Agencies are required to give employees 30 days notice before implementing furloughs. And before agencies can issue the notices, they must first negotiate with federal- employee unions on how they will be implemented.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees Union say most agencies are still in the beginning stages of negotiations.
So, early April is likely the earliest federal employees will be told to stay home without pay.
Meantime, here's what we do know about specific agencies:
The Defense Department plans to furlough nearly all of its 780,000- member civilian workforce on a one-day-per-week basis. In addition, the military services and defense agencies have instituted civilian hiring freezes.
DoD's furlough plan is similar to what many civilian agencies have described. Some are pursuing one-day-per-pay-period (every two weeks) furloughs, such as the Internal Revenue Service. Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, in a note to staff Thursday, told employees the furlough days — likely a total of five to seven — would start in the summer after tax-filing season ends.
According to local AFGE officials, the Environmental Protection Agency , in addition to one-day-per-pay-period furloughs, is also considering a few mandatory agencywide furlough days that would effectively shut the agency down.
But not all agencies say the furloughs will affect them.
In a message to staff, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Carolyn Colvin, said by restricting hiring, limiting overtime and reducing agency travel, the agency plans to continue operating under sequestration without furloughs.
By law, VA activities and military pay are exempt from the sequester cuts.
Congressional stalemate
Congress and the White House remain at odds on a sequestration solution.
President Barack Obama and congressional leaders met at the White House Friday. The meeting lasted less than one hour and both sides emerged pointing fingers at the other.
In the run-up to Friday, Democratic and Republican lawmakers introduced various alternatives to the cuts, but the measures stalled and the stalemate was expected to continue.
