So the book/books being a part of environment means literally - physical?

It's a good idea, although the current colour scheme and lack of other trees or scenery makes it seem like a book landfill with a single, dead tree. The wasteland of the written word. Maybe more green covers?

Matt_B Nice image. I'm not sure it's an image I would want as a promotion if I ran the library, but I love it none the less. It's like the books are returning to whence they came.... since we don't need them anymore. It's quite sad really.

Don´t let your monstermanuals lie around flipped open! Things could come out.
I thought I´d give it a try - as you can see perspective is not my best friend. And that allthough I drew a grid - I have no idea what I am doing wrong all the time...
I probably only need to practise it more >___<.
For me this is feels finished already - I am not sure though ...

I like the idea of a world out of books
but it looks very lonely to me and the books abandoned. Like the world had stopped reading and gathered all the books in one place to be forgotten.

Trudy ah the monster manual.
looks good. You need to play with foreshortening more, get those floor tiles working for you.
October 3rd, 2009 #12
tonic..in answer to your question... yes
a book or books must be a part of the environment.
ideas include scale, surreal. fantasy transformation....

I think it might be cool if you added a pop up book to your environent. Since it looks like he is hiking, maybe some mountains or wildlife could be used.

thanks for the idea, I'll have to see what comes of it..
October 4th, 2009 #16
joshDartist :this looks epic ! good start - there is a lot of atmosphere in this sketch !
trudy : it´s an striking image ! you could take even more advantage of this first impact by pushinhg the book really in the foreground - it just looks too big in relation to the rest of the books around. two hands could hold it or it could be on a table - to see it just on the floor seems odd to me....but in fact it´s striking already like this--- hope this helps somehow....

Great subject. I've had a few ideas for it flash though my brain. I'll try and get them down but I've got my eye on the Unearthly Challenge. It beckons me with its sparkling treasures (which I dont stand a chance of getting close to)
anyhoo. I will try and get something down for this.

thescala since your image smells of paintover I googled "library" and this came out:
There's the same image in your portfolio with a phantom knight coming out of the book (and I suppose it was going to be in your next post here).
I am quite sure that old works and paintovers are not allowed in EoW, anyway it's not up to me to decide if your is a valid entry or not.
What I want to point out is that IMHO messing with others' photos is not a very good way to become a better artist.
Your library is a simple one point perspective with repetitive elements like columns, arches and...well... books, you could spend some time and try to draw it from scratch. If you are lazy you can draw the first vault with its arches and columns, then copy and scale it, paying attention to foreshortening.
P.S. I didn't want to be harsh. I simply can't understand why people are so afraid of learning perspective.
October 5th, 2009 #21
well it's a fine line. Matte painting is allowed.... but it better be good.. Old work most definately is not. Chances ar eI won't catch it if youdo this... I don't pay that much attention to people's work. but I do expect an honourable level of play here. beside what good does it do to post old work? Or for that matter revamp old Ideas it s not goiing to teach you anything. and isn't that what this is all about? winning is pretty worthless. hopefully better someday whenI get the time to give out winners icons. but still .... Play fair!

ok then, i knew that this was going to be brought up. i really wasnt trying to get by, by using something that was already created. however, in all fairness, the only part of the original that i did use was the books and parts of the painting. i worked on this for over 8hours nonstop last night to get it done before school today. but if it wont count, then i guess i have a good portfolio piece.

thescala I didn't want to be nagging, I just thought it does you no good to paint over a photo...
If you're not comfortable with perspective (or you have no time to build it) trace over the picture and use it as a base to make your own environment. It sounds a bit like cheating but in the end is like using 3D as a base for painting over.
P.S. I don't even know if I can submit something for this round, so it's better if I shut up and stop haunting this thread...
October 6th, 2009 #29
Just a quick one. It started fine, but then it turned into a big pile of everything, including silly colors. Good thing it's just a sketch.

A European court ruling has gone into effect that bans gender-based insurance pricing, an equalizing measure which auto insurers say will inflate costs for women across the European Union, who are traditionally charged less than men. EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said the ruling was a civil rights issue, calling it "an important moment for gender equality in the European Union."She even went so far as to say "It is now clear that an insurance company must not distinguish between women and men; all customers must be treated equally. This is a matter of respect for fundamental rights. It is now also becoming a matter of good business practices."Troubling, to say the least. Are you concerned that American...

Importance of Public Health
The public health challenges facing Ohio are daunting. This year's data show Ohio has chronic disease rates above national averages:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Disabled adults
- Adult smokers
- Adults with poor mental health
More than 851,000 Ohioans suffer from substance dependence or abuse. However, only 11 percent of those needing treatment for alcohol and drug problems presently receive it. About half of all workers' compensation claims in Ohio are related to alcohol or drug abuse in the workplace. Approximately 80 percent of Ohio inmates have a substance disorder. More than 80 percent of adolescents involved in the criminal justice system report witnessing or being victimized by high levels of violence at home, at school or in their neighborhood. Nearly one-third of these youths report significant mental health problems.
Public costs
The costs of not addressing these and other public health challenges are staggering:
- Depression costs U.S. employers more than $35 billion a year in reduced performance at work.
- Obesity-related medical claims account for 2.8 percent of all medical costs for adults 19 to 64 years old.
- Medical charges for smokers are 18.1 percent higher than for nonsmokers.

In today's fast-paced business world it is crucial to be able to manage all of your tasks and the activities of the people who you are responsible for. That's why nowadays it is simply impossible to work without using online project management software. With these smart applications the tasks are highly ordered, thus increasing the productivity and quality of your work.
On the Internet you can find many and various offers for online project management software. Thanks to the possibilities offered by these applications they are simply invaluable, but they must be properly selected by the different features they offer to use them to their maximum.
So the first question remains – what functionality should online project management software offer to be suitable for our requirements?
Firstly, any online project management should provide an opportunity for multiple projects support. Thus enabling the support of many different tasks at the same time. This enhances the functionality and enables you to use your capacity to the maximum, which is essential in the modern world.
Another important feature that every quality sufficient online project management software must have is flexible issue tracking system. If this function is sufficiently developed, it will allow you to always stay abreast of the most important tasks that you have to do. It will also give you quick and easy access to the appropriate solutions. This is possible thanks to the function to access a database of many previous solutions to such problems or the so called per project wiki.
A basic requirement for any online project management software is to provide opportunities for feeds and email notifications. This is an essential feature that allows you to stay updated of any task you are up to.
Other important requirements that you have to search in your online project management software are related to the presence of the custom fields (in this way you can customize the software to fit you best), SCM integration, multilanguage support and of course multiple LDAP authentication support.
Of course, there are many different requirements to decide which online project management software would fit you best, but once you answer the above questions you will surely be a step forward in the selection. The good news is that you can find such software on many places on the internet, most of them are even free of charge, so the only thing you have to do is make your choice and start working.

I have read that until the emancipation of the European Jews in the early- to mid-19th century, Jewish religious culture WAS Jewish culture.
There was always a lively folk-culture. But Jews lived in isolation from the larger (high) culture. Without that influence, the intent of most artistic output was to God, serve the synagogue, serve the rabbi and the religious community. But such output largely ignored secular life as superficial and unworthy of serious attention. In the isolation of traditional communities, excellence in Torah scholarship, not success in the mundane affairs of business or public administration, was the pinnacle of intellectual achievement.
Today, as institutions like Jewish community centers have sought to secularize and Americanize Jewish identity, they have succeeded in rendering it essentially meaningless, promoting a secularized Judaism tied largely to an ever more remote Holocaust and support for an Israel that has become a state morally indistinguishable from so many others.
As a result, the synagogue remains the principal touchstone of identity in Jewish life, the main source of information on what Jewish identity means. Many Jews treat their local synagogues as bar mitzvah factories, remaining affiliated only as long as they must in order to have their children's Jewish identities officially consecrated. This time-worn process is about ethnic identity, not faith.
Many other syngogue-goers remain affiliated, even after their children's religious obligations are fulfilled, even in the absence of belief in the supernatural. They do this because the synagogue is the one place in their lives where their personal histories are affirmed; where the identity, 'Jew,' has content and meaning.
One Jew's opinion, anyway.

Purple and Sweet Potato Hash with Garlicky Kale and Soft Eggs
Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Parmesan, White Truffle Oil and Gremolata
Blueberry Scones
Blueberry Scones
Recipe from Cook's Illustrated
It is important to work the dough as little as possible—work quickly and knead and fold the dough only the number of times called for. The butter should be frozen solid before grating. In hot or humid environments, chill the flour mixture and work bowls before use. While the recipe calls for 2 whole sticks of butter, only 10 tablespoons are actually used (see step 1). If fresh berries are unavailable, an equal amount of frozen berries (do not defrost) can be substituted. An equal amount of raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries can be used in place of the blueberries. Cut larger berries into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces before incorporating. Refrigerate or freeze leftover scones, wrapped in foil, in an airtight container. To serve, remove foil and place scones on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven. Heat until warmed through and recrisped, 8 to 10 minutes if refrigerated, 16 to 20 minutes if frozen. See final step for information on making the scone dough in advance.
16 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 sticks), frozen whole (see note above)
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (about 7 1/2 ounces), picked over (see note)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (10 ounces), plus additional for work surface
1/2 cup sugar (3 1/2 ounces), plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Score and remove half of wrapper from each stick of frozen butter. Grate unwrapped ends on large holes of box grater (you should grate total of 8 tablespoons). Place grated butter in freezer until needed. Melt 2 tablespoons of remaining ungrated butter and set aside. Save remaining 6 tablespoons butter for another use. Place blueberries in freezer until needed.
2. Whisk together milk and sour cream in medium bowl; refrigerate until needed. Whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest in medium bowl. Add frozen butter to flour mixture and toss with fingers until thoroughly coated.
3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; fold with spatula until just combined. With rubber spatula, transfer dough to liberally floured work surface. Dust surface of dough with flour; with floured hands, knead dough 6 to 8 times, until it just holds together in ragged ball, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Roll dough into approximate 12-inch square. Following illustrations, fold dough into thirds like a business letter, using bench scraper or metal spatula to release dough if it sticks to countertop. Lift short ends of dough and fold into thirds again to form approximate 4-inch square. Transfer dough to plate lightly dusted with flour and chill in freezer 5 minutes.
5. Transfer dough to floured work surface and roll into approximate 12-inch square again. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over surface of dough, then press down so they are slightly embedded in dough. Using bench scraper or thin metal spatula, loosen dough from work surface. Roll dough, pressing to form tight log. Lay seam-side down and press log into 12 by 4-inch rectangle. Using sharp, floured knife, cut rectangle crosswise into 4 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle diagonally to form 2 triangles and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until tops and bottoms are golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
To Make Ahead:
After placing the scones on the baking sheet, either refrigerate them overnight or freeze. When ready to bake, for refrigerated scones, heat oven to 425 degrees and follow directions in step 6. For frozen scones, heat oven to 375 degrees, follow directions in step 6, and extend cooking time to 25 to 30 minutes.
Purple and Sweet Potato Hash– I don't eat a lot of potatoes, but I love potato hash. You can use any type of potato or root vegetable and load it up with whatever is leftover in the fridge, the combinations are endless. If your feeling more carnivorous, this would also be great with braised short ribs or roasted chicken. I usually braise my greens, but by steaming them they hold more of their nutritional goodness (see here and here). This is one of those dishes that gets better the next day, I like to reheat it in a pan on the stove top to re-crisp the potatoes. The Roasted Spaghetti Squash is a perfect example of how amazing a dish can be by using only a few, quality ingredients. It's so funny to see the look on Tom's (the hubby) face when certain vegetables enter the house. First it's the question of "is that a…..?" followed by "ohhh", as I watch his body deflate as if to say "oh no, I hope that's not for dinner?". I'm happy to report he really liked this dish, maybe the cheese had a little to do with it. Blueberry Scones– If you're not familiar with Cooks Illustrated, you should pick up a copy, I adore this magazine. I learn something new every time I read it (confession; I'm a bit of a food-geek). They'll cook a dish hundreds of times if necessary, until they feel it's perfect. I posted their recipe here in its entirety, there's no room for improvement.

Reasons to Plant Hedgerows at Home
In many successful landscape designs, a hedgerow takes the place of a fence or garden wall. Most of Knapp's clients are hoping to block an unappealing view, "usually a view of a yard next door that is not taken care of. Typically, a lawn is a unifying element in the residential landscape, flowing from yard to yard. But if a neighbor's 'lawn' is 2-foot-tall weeds and dead grass, then a hedgerow is a great solution."
For other clients, Knapp uses hedgerows to add curb appeal by framing the street-side view of the house, using hedgerow plantings that "bookend" the property. She says hedgerows are also effective for directing travel, such as preventing pedestrians from taking a shortcut through a yard on a corner lot.
In the backyard, where so many homes have fences, Knapp often uses hedgerows to conceal or enhance an existing structure. "A hedgerow can serve as a privacy screen by adding height to a short fence, or it can hide the fence itself. A backyard fence that's entirely visible leaves no room for exploration; there's no mystery, and the effect can leave you feeling boxed in. It's much nicer to soften the fence with some shrubs and trees. However, there's no need to hide the fence entirely; there should be breaks in the plant material, creating windows of the fence or the view beyond. The goal is to have layers, with overlapping textures that create interest."
On a strictly practical level, hedgerows are often used to shelter a house or outdoor seating areas from wind. Because of its natural texture and penetrability, a hedgerow absorbs some of the air current as it blocks it, making it a more effective windbreak than solid barriers, such as fences or masonry walls, which serve as little more than speed bumps in the wind's path. Hedgerows planted heavily with stout evergreen specimens are best for protecting a house wall from cold winter winds.

Do you wish you could do more to help end dog fighting? You might be surprised by just how much you can help—especially when you use the toolkit the ASPCA developed with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Initially created for law enforcement, Dogfighting: A Guide for Community Actiongives you the tools to recognize the violent crimes of dog fighting in your community.
We know that sometimes the hardest thing about getting involved is figuring out where to start. Our toolkit will teach you how to build an animal task force in your community, demonstrate ways to partner with local law enforcement, and even provide useful tips on how to handle the animal victims involved.
You can download the full toolkit to combat dog fighting free of charge here. Also, please consider taking the free, self-paced online course Combating Dogfighting, which accompanies the Toolkit. Without your compassion and willingness to take action, our struggle to end dog fighting would be that much harder—thank you!
What is wrong with people! Leave the poor animals alone!
mentality and being good to all living beings!! Educate , find solutions. This is Excellant onfo!!
Someone needs to put a stop to Dog Fights and the owners of the dogs who are in ring amongs those who bet on the dogs need to be put in jail and don't let them have anymore pets or help with such animal cruelty to dogs. Dogs need good homes and need the help of those who will take time to love and care for them.
We all need to do whatever is necessary to stop to this cruelty. I can't imagine what these people are like. Dogs are very loving creatures and deserve to be loved and cared for in return.
What is wrong with people? It sickens me to see stuff like this.
These people (punk asses)need to get off there asses & make there own $.or need to be straved,beaten,etc like they do to these poor dogs.put into a ring with one of the dogs they do this to.let people watch that dog tear them up bitches.
Dog fighting is a huge problem in S.C. People actually raise mixed-breed dogs on chains in their backyards to sell to dog fighters. I heard on the news that the national Humane Society was offering $5000 for info leading to a conviction, and I called the nearest chapter, hoping to get a poster or flier stating that. They promised to find out, but never called me back. I think that surely a reward of that size would induce these people to give up the names of the ones who buy their poor dogs. I don't believe that dog fighting is a very high priority for law enforcement here, even though it is very common.

New Hampshire State Court Amendment, CACR 26 (2012)
|State Court Amendment
|Click here for the latest news on U.S. ballot measures
|Quick stats
|Legislative referral
|New Hampshire Constitution
|State judiciary
The proposed amendment would have given the New Hampshire Legislature a concurrent power to regulate the administrative affairs of the state court by statute. Statute would override a court ruling determined by the chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court in the event of a conflict. Therefore, the proposed amendment would have limited the chief justice of the state supreme court's ability to be the administrative head of the state court.[1]

Text of the measure
Ballot language
The ballot language of the amendment reads as follows:[1]
|Are you in favor of amending article 73-a of the second part of the constitution to read as follows:
[Art.] 73-a. [Supreme Court, Administration.] The chief justice of the supreme court shall be the administrative head of all the courts. The chief justice shall, with the concurrence of a majority of the supreme court justices, make rules governing the administration of all courts in the state and the practice and procedure to be followed in all such courts. The rules so promulgated shall have the force and effect of law. The legislature shall have a concurrent power to regulate the same matters by statute. In the event of a conflict between a statute and a court rule, the statute, if not otherwise contrary to this constitution, shall prevail over the rule.[2]
- State Representatives Paul Mirski, Steve Winter, George Lambert, Gregory Sorg, Michael Balboni, Ken Weyler, Paul Ingbretson, Timothy Comerford and Randy Brownrigg were sponsors of the bill.[3]
- State Representatives James Aguiar, Susan Almy, Benjamin Baroody, Bernard Benn and Roger Berube voted against the measure during legislative session. Read about which other representatives voted against the measure here.
Path to the ballot
- See also: Amending the New Hampshire constitution
In order for the state legislature to place a proposed constitutional amendment on the statewide ballot, both chambers of the state legislature must approve doing so by a vote in each house of at least 60%. Once any such constitutional amendment is on the ballot, the state's voters must approve it by a 2/3 vote for it to pass.

Actor Ewan McGregor Is Still Hot After All These Years – The Daily Swoon
You know, some guys just get more appealing with age, like wine and cheese and that sweater you bought three years ago. Ewan McGregor is that sweater, you guys.
Today's Daily Swoon is an oldie but goody — Ewan McGregor, a guy you may have first noticed in the '90s with films like 'Trainspotting' and 'A Life Less Ordinary.' He went on to star in some fantastic films like the 'Star Wars' prequels (okay, they aren't very good, but he's pretty in them, so there), 'Moulin Rouge,' the weirdly wonderful 'Beginners,' and the currently-in-theaters 'The Impossible.' He spends much of that latter film shirtless, which will make you feel better while you're sobbing through all the feelings.
McGregor is still just as sexy today as he was back in the '90s — if not sexier. The Scottish actor is versatile, starring in big studio films and small indie flicks, and if you'll recall from 'Moulin Rouge,' he can sing his little heart out, too.
He's also a motorcycle enthusiast who took off on a journey from London to New York through central Europe back in 2004, recording his travels with his friend for a TV series and book called 'Long Way Round.' McGregor is also heavily involved in charity work with non-profits like UNICEF and GO Campaign. He sounds so perfect, right?
Sorry, he's married. But enjoy these photos!

We made some benchmark comparison between Java, Ruby and JRuby for file processing. We were suprised to see Ruby a the clear winner. Java was about two times slower but JRuby was much slower that the two previous. See result summary:
in Eclipse: 3,94 secs
in command line (native Ruby): 3,34 secs
in command line (jRuby): 24,71 seconds
in Eclipse: 6,24 minutes
in command line: 6,07 minutes
For complete a review, you may look at it on the Myg project at:
My question: should we based our development effort on JRuby counting that its performance should be in the range of the two others. If so, what is the reasonable timeframe to expect.

My wife is health nut and loves to walk and run. Living in Buffalo we don't always have the best weather and she needed something that was waterproof, warm enough to hold out a morning chill and breathable enough for running. This jacket has performed excellent on all fronts. The only thing I didn't expect was how snug the jacket fits. Turns out she prefers it this way but initially she was concerned that even a fairly thin fleece made the arm pits uncomfortably tight. If your looking to layer go up a size.
I LOVE this jacket. I bought one of these previously for my other half while I was still using my old EMS rain jacket. This year, I decided to update part of my gear, rain gear included. I tried on plenty of Arcteryx jackets at a local backcountry store and all fit a little weird. I am a 5'3" female, weighing in around 115 lbs with normal length(?) arms. I was in a pinch, needing a jacket for a trip and decided to buy this, even though I was very unsure about the fitting. I bought this jacket in a small and the waist landed, that's right, exactly at my waist. The arms were a perfect length going slightly past my wrists so when extending my arms the sleeves have no problem moving up or down. I always go for a lightweight rain jacket in that it is versatile and can be worn within many different seasons. This jacket is loose enough that I can wear a light down jacket underneath. Highly recommend for someone looking for a lightweight, great quality jacket.
After buying my Arcteryx last year I had to buy my wife one to prepare for out next trip. I can't imaging walking across Spain without this gear in my pack. The are 3 things you should know about this jacket. #1 It is very light. #2 It has great ventilation. #3 It's bullet proof when it comes to water. This is a must have for any pack.
I'm a big, big fan of this jacket. I wear it lots while rock/ice climbing, mountaineering, and skiing. I brought it to Aconcagua and it held up well - did a great job blocking Aconcagua's notoriously bad wind.I was debating between the SV (Pro Shell) and SL (Pac Lite) because I wasn't sure of the Pac Lite would be tough enough for the outdoor activities I do. I've put this jacket through its paces for the last 1.5 years and it's held up wonderfully so far. I also like the elevated pockets so I can access them with a harness on. GREAT JACKET!!!
I love this jacket.These jackets are extremely lighweight. They are very minimalistic- so don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. They provide excellnt breathability, and with pit zips you can vent excess heat if needed.

Hey I love this Jacket! Its ultralight and gives me all the protection i need against wind and rain: I really like the color, its not all black like most of the jackets and not a bright color where I am seen be everyone. You could say its boring this greyish white, but hey, the best of it are the zippers! i would never wear a jacket in this pink color, but just the zippers, they make it special and ladylike.i could use though some more pockets, but that would ruin the style and not be ladylike...go for it!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' June 2012 jobs report showing that 80,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment rate was little changed at 8.2 percent:
"Today's report shows that the private sector continues to add jobs, though not as quickly as we need. The economy has added private sector jobs for the last 28 months, but to lower the unemployment rate we need stronger job growth.
"We still have more work to do to recover from our losses during the Great Recession. Washington must continue to do everything possible to strengthen the economy and help unemployed Americans get back to work."

Slow Start Dooms Men's Basketball in 81-65 Loss at Belmont Abbey
January 8, 2013
BELMONT, N.C. - After a slow start in the first half, Pfeiffer University was unable to rebound in time during the second half suffering a 81-65 loss at Belmont Abbey on Tuesday night. The host Crusaders improve to 9-4 overall, 2-3 in league play while sending the Falcons to 2-9, 1-4.
Six different players scored for Belmont Abbey during the first five-and-a-half minutes led by Tyshawn Good's six points as the Crusaders started the night with an 18-0 run. Matt Ellwood and Josh Humphrey would stop the bleeding with a three and layup but Belmont Abbey had already secured their double-digit lead.
Humphrey and Tayron Gibson would get the Falcons to within a dozen on two different occasions but a three-pointer by the Crusaders Jay Council put the hosts up 21 before a late Kenny Tappin three helped sliced the lead down to 16, 41-25 at the break.
In the second half, AJ Clark would get the Falcons within 11 five minutes into the final stanza but Belmont Abbey would continue their steady scoring over the final 20 minutes to grab the 16-point victory.
Good would lead all scorers on the night with 23 for the Crusaders followed closely by Council's 22. Humphrey paced the Falcons once again with 21 points while Gibson contributed 18. Both teams shot 42% from the field while Belmont Abbey held the advantage from behind the arc and free throw line to provide the difference.
Pfeiffer will look to get back on the winning track on Saturday traveling to King for a 7:30 p.m. matchup with the Tornado. Live stats and video will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Photo Gallery | Seattle man bikes across America
"I did it." - Three simple words to sum up three months of the most challenging and exhilarating adventure Darby Roach has ever embarked on.
In fact, "I did it" is all my dad wrote in an email he sent me on July 15; the day he cruised into Massachusetts, took off his cycling shoes, and dug his toes into a warm sandy beach lining the Atlantic Ocean. The monumental moment marked the end of a 10 week biking adventure across the United States.
He did it! And, much, much faster then he originally planned.
I first wrote about my dad's grand plans to bike across America when he peddled into Airway Heights on May 9. When he left Spokane, little did he know he would bike through the most brutal weather and meet the most heart warming people all at the same time.
When sideways rain and winds forced him off his bike just outside a Montana town it was a complete stranger who offered him a ride to a bike shop to repair a flat and then to the nearest hotel to dry off. He has enough stories to fill a book. He tells me the kindness and generosity he's experienced on this trip has been overwhelming and truly humbling.
In all, he crossed nine states, one Canadian Provence, three time zones, covered over 3,000 miles, had eight flat tires, and broke one shifter cable. He averaged 8.4 miles per hour and lost a whopping 17 pounds even with stopping every 20 miles or so to grab an ice cream cone in Wisconsin!
Next week, he'll fly to London where he'll start all over again. To follow his journey, check out his blog.

Women's Basketball Hands Barton Its First Conference Loss with 78-72 Upset Road Win on Thursday Night
February 17, 2011
WILSON, N.C. - Pfeiffer University made 5-of-6 free throws in the final minute around two Barton turnovers to hand the Lady Bulldogs their first Conference Carolinas loss of the season, 78-72, on Thursday night in Wilson Gymnasium. The combination of sophomore forward Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, Va.) and sophomore guard Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, N.C.) accounted for 49 points on 16-of-24 shooting and the Falcons outscored Barton 26-11 from the foul line in raising their record to 11-12 overall and 10-7 in the league.
Pfeiffer started the night up 9-0, fell behind 40-36 by halftime and trailed 51-40 with 15 minutes left before a 15-4 run put it back in contention. The tightly contested game was tied nine times in the final nine minutes.
Bartons streaks of 34 straight conference wins and 14 consecutive wins overall this season were halted. Barton, ranked sixth in the Southeast Region, stands 20-3 overall and 16-1 in the league. BC had won 37 consecutive regular season home games in the Dog House dating back to a loss on Dec. 1, 2007. The Lady Bulldogs entertain Belmont Abbey at 5:30 on Saturday evening. Harvey notched game-highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds and hit 9-of-12 shots from the floor. She also had three assists and two steals. Cox canned 24 points on 7-of-12 shooting, was 7-of-7 from the foul line and had three blocks.
Sophomore guard Celeste Caudill (Sparta, N.C.) added 10 points and sophomore guard Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, N.C.) contributed five points and seven assists. Barton got 13 points from junior guard Jannetta Robinson (Willard, N.C.), 12 points and eight rebounds from sophomore forward Shante Neal ((Spring Hope, N.C.) and 10 points, seven assists from freshman guard Nyeshea Willie (Virginia Beach, Va.)
Pfeiffer swished 52.2 percent of its shots (23-of-42) and was 26-of-33 (78.8 percent) from the foul line. The Falcons also claimed a 35-33 rebounding edge. Barton was 28-of-69 (40.6 percent) from the field and 11-of-14 (78.6 percent) from the foul line. The score was tied 12 times and lead changed hands 14 times during the 40 minutes of action.
After Pfeiffer bolted to the 9-0 lead behind the play of Cox, Barton rebounded with an 18-9 run to make it 18-18 on a layup by sophomore forward Jolanda Mitchell (Raleigh, N.C.). Late in the first half, Shawnta Shelton (Pleasant Garden, N.C.) and Robinson swished 3-point bombs, but Caudill cashed in two of her own to pull Pfeiffer within 31-30. Six of the final eight baskets of the half were 3-pointers.
Sophomore center Janae Jackson (Fort Belvoir, Va.) powered up down low for Bartons first eight points of the second half and Willie swished a 3-pointer for a 51-40 cushion at the 15:09 mark. Cox and Harvey then took control for the Falcons as they roared back to tie the score at 56-56 at 9:47.
Neither team led by more than two points from that point forward until the final minute. With Pfeiffer nursing a 73-72 lead, Harvey hit two foul shots with one minute left. Barton turned the ball over on its next two possessions and junior guard Shelly Reese (Browns Summit, N.C.) made 3-of-4 foul shots for the final margin. Barton missed 9-of-10 shots in the final five minutes and had four turnovers.

10/24/13 Is Lilo Drinking Again?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, October 24, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN reportedly KNEW KANYE WEST was going to propose, and she even told him what jeweler to go to for her ring. Kanye supposedly designed the 15-carat ring . . . but Kim told him to use Lorraine Schwartz, the same jeweler who made the ring KRIS HUMPHRIES gave her.
This probably doesn't make a difference since they both have more money than they know what to do with, but KANYE WEST reportedly won't make KIM KARDASHIAN sign a prenup. A source says, quote, "Kanye's in love with Kim to the point of infatuation . . . he thinks [a prenup is] tacky and he doesn't want to offend Kim or make anything seem awkward. He thinks of his money and his accomplishments and hers and he wants to share them with her . . . no strings attached."
CLINT EASTWOOD'S wife DINA officially filed for divorce this week. As you may recall, she had previously WITHDRAWN her papers for legal separation. There's no word what changed her mind . . . all she'll give for a reason is "irreconcilable differences." Dina is seeking physical custody of their 16-year-old daughter Morgan, plus spousal support and attorney fees. Meanwhile, Clint's latest fling, Erica Fisher, is reportedly living with him . . . and driving his Benz. And one of her sons is working as a production assistant on Clint's latest movie. Erica's ex-husband is a longtime friend of Dina's.
Is LINDSAY LOHAN still drinking? The paparazzi shot a picture of Lindsay through the window of a Hollywood Hills home . . . and it looks like she's reaching for a WINE BOTTLE. The picture was taken Tuesday night. Sources say Lindsay has ditched her sober coach, saying she can go it alone from here on out.
DINA LOHAN was in court yesterday for a hearing regarding her DUI. Outside the courthouse, her slimy attorney Mark Heller told reporters THEY caused Dina to drive drunk. He said, quote, "The circumstances leading to Dina's arrest were largely impacted by ongoing daily stresses caused by you folks, the paparazzi, media attention and distorted tabloid character profiles."

More details about the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West engagement. Kanye spent $35,000 to rent out the stadium . . . and a reported $1.25 million on the ring. One member of the orchestra told TMZ she was paid four times her usual rate for the gig . . . and nobody knew about it until two days beforehand. She also said CAMERAS WERE ROLLING . . . so we can probably expect to see this on an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". Sources do say, though, that Kanye has final approval on what ends up on the show and what doesn't.
If this doesn't make for the PERFECT METAPHOR, then nothing does: During a report on KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST'S engagement, MSNBC accidentally cut to the wrong footage. Instead of a video package on Kim and Kanye, they showed surveillance video of a guy accidentally walking off a subway platform and falling onto the tracks. The caption at the bottom read, "Kimye Engaged."
Former "American Idol" contestant KATHERINE MCPHEE was photographed making out with Michael Morris . . . who directed her TV show "Smash". And both of them are married to OTHER PEOPLE. Morris' wife is MARY MCCORMACK and they have three daughters, ages 2, 6 and 9. Katherine is married to a guy named Nick Cokas. They have no kids. Since all of this happened IN PLAIN SIGHT . . . pun intended . . . it may not be a KRISTEN STEWART-type situation. Sources say Katherine and Nick have been separated for six months. There's no word on the status of Michael and Mary's relationship.
PAULY D from "Jersey Shore" is a dad. He has a 5-month-old daughter named Amabella. She's the result of a VEGAS HOOKUP last fall, but it's legit. Pauly took a DNA test and everything.
During the Hollywood Film Awards on Monday night, SEAN PENN introduced honoree JULIA ROBERTS with a bizarre, rambling speech in which he talked about how sexy it is to watch her eat, and how he'd love to see a 3D movie of her eating, while he sat in the audience with a virtual toothpick. He might have been a little drunk.
10/22/13 Kim & Kanye Engaged

Tuesday, October 22, 2013
Reportedlly, Kim Kardashian is engaged to Kanye West. Kanye popped the question in front of their friends and family at AT&T Park in San Francisco. He rented out the stadium and according to E!, Kanye first asked future mother-in-law Kris Jenner for her daughter's hand in marriage. Then, he got down on one knee and proposed to Kim with a 15-carat diamond ring by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. A 50-piece orchestra played Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," followed by Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo and Kanye's "Knock You Down." Fireworks and Roman candles exploded into the night sky.
KATY PERRY was in bad shape when her marriage to RUSSELL BRAND ended. She says, quote, "I'm not the kind of person who is always like, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' I was in bed for about two weeks. I was pretty [effed], yes. It hurt a lot. I got a good knock." She adds, quote, "My self-worth was in someone else's hands, which is never a good idea because it can be taken from you at any time. And it was, and it was shattered."
JUSTIN BIEBER didn't just visit a Houston strip club on Friday night . . . he MADE IT RAIN. A stripper named DIAMOND Tweeted a picture of the STACKS of money Justin dropped on her. Meanwhile, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has reportedly launched an investigation after seeing a photo of Justin from later that night, hanging out at a club called NOX, while holding a Dos Equis.
For years, people thought of JENNA JAMESON as the porno star who kind of beat the system. She got INSANELY rich and successful, and didn't seem to have any of the psychological baggage a lot of mattress actresses carry. But maybe we all spoke too soon. She was on TV yesterday to hype her new novel . . . yes, she's an "author" now . . . and she was a MESS. Jenna was booked for a longer appearance, but producers cut it short after they saw her condition. (Jenna's ex, TITO ORTIZ, claims she's hooked on Oxycontin.)
CEE LO GREEN was in court yesterday to face allegations that he slipped a woman Ecstasy and then sexually assaulted her. Prosecutors declined to file sexual assault charges due to lack of evidence. But they did charge him with a felony count of furnishing a controlled substance.

The "Star" tabloid says JENNIFER LOPEZ kicked CASPER SMART out . . . and didn't even let him take anything with him. A source says she told him, quote, "You came with nothing, you will leave with nothing."
On her show Friday, ELLEN DEGENERES surprised a 22-year-old New Hampshire waitress with a $10,000 check. The woman had recently covered the bill for two female National Guard soldiers who weren't being paid due to the government shutdown.
A 33-year-old man named Toby Sheldon has undergone $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like JUSTIN BIEBER. If I were him, I'd get a refund. Sheldon has had Botox injections, hair transplants and even "smile surgery". He says, quote, "It's Justin's smile that gives him his youthful look. So I had my upper lip lifted [and] my bottom lip plumped out."
Ryan Reynolds was forced to strip during a recent plane flight. During a flight from New York City to New Orleans, Ryan had to take his shirt off because a passenger vomited all over him. A witness says, quote, "A young lady in front of him vomited toward her window, which then spewed back all over Ryan's cashmere sweater. The vomit looked like it was largely made up of red wine, and it made a huge stain so he took it off!"

KRISTEN BELL and DAX SHEPARD got married yesterday . . . at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office. A source says they just went to the office to get a marriage license, but a court employee offered to marry them right on the spot . . . and they went for it. Kristen and Dax got engaged in 2009, but they vowed not to get hitched until same-sex marriages were legal.
A lot of people hate MICHAEL BAY'S movies, but this might be taking things a little too far: On the set of "Transformers 4" in Hong Kong yesterday, a man attacked Bay with . . . an AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. Seriously. There's no word how the guy got onto the set or got a hold of the air conditioner. But he swung it at Bay's head. Bay was able to duck the attack and get the A.C. unit away from the guy. Security then tussled with the attacker and two of his friends, and arrested all three of them. No one in the cast or crew was injured.
Kim Kardashian must be feeling confident about her post-pregnancy body -- because for the first time in four months, the new mom has taken a selfie of her butt. There's also a generous amount of side boob in the Instagram pic.

So what is the issue ? Connect Lumia via cable that will charge the phone, but connect to web via WiFi hotspot on phone ?

Issue is - in work day, when you has to travel a lot and you work on battery laptop mainly and 3g (no wifi internet in area) + have to use wifi to connect laptop with phone, it drain your battery quick. Laptop too...
I think, I have no choice but to wait. But honestly, I'm very disapoiting in this case (Lumia 800 pretend to be "buissnes" phone, but with no modem ability and VPN this is only a pretty toy). And with micro-sim I can't longer take sim card and use it in old-phone or modem 3g...

You are making an issue of a non-issue, any phone you connect to your laptop via USB will take a charge when it is connected ? And office suite and email are superb, but obviously, there is always the option to return or exchange the handset if it does not fulfil your requirements ?

Oh. This is really big flaw in that case. Tethering is solution (a kind of...) but very poor - battery life on active tetering + 3g will be... short. Very short.
I would never suspect that it can be moder phone without ability to work as modem... Even cheap phones can do it with cable...
If I woud know that early I never, ever buy this phone.
This is issue on Nokia only or general on Windows Phone?
Lumia 900 will be initially support tethering while Lumia 800 may be updated to have this function. Perhaps Nokia released Lumia 800 to meet the 3rd quarter 2011 result and some basic smart phone basic function to be updated at a later stage.

Hello @Pekka_1,
As said up there, something may be on it's way. All we can do is wait and see.
With Lumia 900 (maybe a visit to some local [Finnish?] retail store) you can actually
see the option in the settings-menu, although it's not working yet.

Just wondered if this has been resolved?
I have the latest version of the Lumia 800 with WP7.5 and I can't seem to use it in this way?

Hello @jlt206
Have you tried this; settings-> internet sharing-> sharing on?
I am using it right now with my Nokia Lumia 800 and Sony laptop.
