In Sports, and Life, Can Determination Help ADHD Kids Overcome the Challenges of Inattention?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) interferes with my daughter Natalie's ability to focus, but, what she lacks in ability to pay attention, she makes up for in determination.

Flying with ADHD Children: Is Good Behavior Possible?
Traveling with an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) child can be challenging. But instead of having to sit still and behave for several hours on the plane -- or get in trouble for not doing so -- one ADD/ADHD boy made friends, made his parents proud, and had a great flight!
Last week was spring break for our school system, and my daughter Natalie's best friend and ADD/ADHD-soul mate, Harry, went to Puerto Rico with his mom and dad. (You can read more about Natalie and Harry's ADD/ADHD adventures in an earlier post.) The best story to come out of that trip wasn't Harry's nasty sunburn, nor was it the fun he had learning to boogie board...

What Are Realistic Expectations for ADD/ADHD Children's Progress at School?
With goals designed for the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) student, an individualized education program (IEP) that works, and parental support, our kids can surprise us with their successes!
It's parent-teacher conference season again, and even though I keep in contact with Natalie's special education and classroom teachers throughout the school year, those darn meetings still have the power to surprise me. The surprise we received at Natalie's fall conference was the unwelcome kind -- disappointing news. Don and I both left that meeting feeling shell-shocked and sad. Natalie, we were told,...

Playing Outdoors to Improve ADD/ADHD Symptoms in Children?
My daughter's occupational therapist taught me that "heavy work" has a calming and organizing effect on kids with ADD/ADHD and sensory processing issues. And, I know from experience that being outside is therapeutic for Natalie.
The lengthening days and the melting snow have me believing that I just might come out of Iowa's winter prison alive, after all. Natalie, who struggles to find outlets for her excess ADHD-energy during the winter months, seems to feel this even more strongly. Starting about a week ago, when the daytime highs finally neared the freezing mark, and it stayed light past 5:00 p.m., Natalie...

Adjusting My Daughter's ADHD Medication, Again: The Emotional Side Effects for Parents
Here's a side effect of ADD/ADHD medications no one tells you about: the emotional toll it takes on parents. We get excited, hopeful, at the prospects of finding the exact right treatment, then feel the inevitable let-down of having to adjust a dosage yet again.
Natalie is now seeing a child psychiatrist to treat her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), and along with the new doctor came more changes in medicines. A blood test showed that Nat's fasting blood glucose level was high, a possible unwanted side effect of Risperdal. Her "bad" cholesterol (LDL) was also high, and she'd started having episodes of compulsive eating. Her weight, although...

Finding the Right Child Psychiatrist to Treat ADHD
My ADD/ADHD daughter's pediatrician told us it was time to take her to a child psychiatrist. Before our first visit I expected the worst.
A few months ago, Natalie's pediatrician Dr. Halbur told us that it was time. I didn't want to do it, but I knew he was right. Treating Natalie's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) and co-existing conditions (anxiety, sensory processing disorder, prenatal exposure to alcohol) had become complex enough to necessitate seeing a child psychiatrist. I'm not sure what my hesitation to take...

Adventures in Parenting: Do ADD/ADHD Kids Always Learn the Life Lessons We Want Them to?
A mom shares her experiences with high-energy children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). Are they too strong-willed, impulsive, or distracted to learn lessons?
On page 28 of the Spring 2010 issue of ADDitude magazine, there's a story about Natalie's best friend, Harry! Harry, like Nat, has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). In the piece, Harry's mom, Victoria, chronicles her experience taking Harry on RAGBRAI, the (Des Moines, Iowa) Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa, "the oldest, largest, and longest bicycle touring event in the world."

Now Preening On the Coffee Table
Published: February 19, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
Then came the feel of the buttons, for which they chose a smooth, pliable rubber. Mr. Newby likened the feel of hitting the buttons to that of playing a piano. When a button is pushed, the user feels a slight snap, signaling that the key has traveled far enough to achieve electrical contact.
''These are the devilish details that often get overlooked,'' he said.
In the middle of the design process, Mr. Newby turned to non-engineers on the TiVo staff for feedback. This helped the designers refine the size and shape of the keys and the amount of space between them.
By September 1998, 11 weeks into the process, Mr. Newby and his team had completed the first few hand-built functional remotes. Then came a quick tooling cycle so TiVo could distribute the remotes to beta testers, consisting of technologically inexperienced friends and relatives of employees. The testers' feedback prompted the TiVo designers to reduce the time lapse between pressing a button and seeing the command executed on the screen.
The same group helped the designers fine-tune the dimensions of the remote to maximize the comfort level. Mr. Newby said the testers also advised the designers on where to put the battery compartment so that the device would balance nicely in the hand.
Other refinements followed, and by the time the first TiVo box was shipped to stores in March 1999, the remote was being produced in high volume.
The base color of the remote has since been changed to a dark gray to match TiVo's Series 2 receiver, with buttons of much lighter gray for contrast. And the number of buttons crept up to 34.
But the look and feel of the original TiVo remote as it emerged from the design team's sketchbooks and modeling labs has survived, which is no coincidence. ''We wanted to create an iconic shape that would stick,'' said Dennis Boyle, a team leader at Ideo, a design firm in Palo Alto, Calif., that lent its expertise early in the process.
TiVo holds four design patents on the remote's basic shape and key layout. Third-party companies that sell receivers with TiVo built in, like the satellite television provider DirecTV, supply customers with a 36-button remote that is almost identical to the one sold with TiVo boxes.
The TiVo remote has many fans. One TiVo aficionado, Pat Hughes, a software engineer in San Jose, Calif., dressed up his two-month-old daughter as the remote for Halloween in 2002. The costume, which took a week to make, was a painstakingly exact replica, complete with battery compartment in the back. ''That's where she went in,'' he said.
Mr. Hughes ranks his TiVo remote among the most important objects in his house because of the amount of time the device spends in his hand. ''I don't think that you reach that level of simple elegance by accident,'' he said. ''It's designed the way remotes should be designed.''
Yet even some people who admire the remote say it has room for improvement.
Mr. Nielsen, the design critic, said that there was not enough contrast between some of the most important buttons and the body. ''The writing is small, and to add insult to injury, the contrast is too low,'' he said.
The remote still gets lost, and its gray tones do not help it stand out when it is wedged, say, between sofa cushions.
Mr. Newby himself is considering some improvements, like enabling the remote to stand up on the coffee table.
He has a couple of tongue-in-cheek ideas, too: a beer-proof, dishwasher-safe version and a ''Mega Mute version that mutes the neighbor's barking dog.''

Avishai Cohen is a leading figure on the international jazz scene and one of the most sought-after players of his generation"an assertive and accomplished trumpeter with a taste for modernism," according to Nate Chinen of The New York Times. Though deeply rooted in the bebop and post-bop tradition, Avishai is taking jazz in new directions, making waves as an improviser, composer and bandleader. Originally from Tel Aviv, he began performing at age 10. He toured the world with the Young Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and went on to become the trumpet player of choice for many leading jazz, rock, pop, studio and television projects. He received a full scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and in 1997 he placed third in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Trumpet Competition....

Pujols frustrated not to get into All-Star Game
SAN FRANCISCO -- Albert Pujols was angry about being left on the All-Star bench and the St. Louis slugger took aim at the National League manager -- who just happened to be Tony La Russa of his own Cardinals.
"It's the All-Star Game. He can do what he wants," Pujols said Tuesday night. "He does whatever he wants. If I wasn't expecting to play, I wouldn't have come up here."

Greens leader Christine Milne says she does not think Prime Minister Tony Abbott will take the risk of calling a double-dissolution election in order to scrap the carbon tax before next July.
Labor yesterday said it would support the repeal legislation if the Coalition accepted amendments that would see the introduction of an emissions-trading scheme.
However, the Government has a long-held policy of replacing the carbon tax with a direct-action policy and there is no sign the it will agree to Labor's proposal.
Ms Milne says the Greens will not support the Government's repeal legislation, even with Labor's proposed amendments.
"Labor isn't even clear itself on what its amendments may or may not be. It hasn't said what the target it would want in the bill to be either," she said.

The news come just days after Senator Milne and Deputy Greens leader Adam Bandt were reinstated unopposed during a mandatory leadership spill.
Among the staff to resign is Senator Milne's chief of staff Ben Oquist, who released a statement saying he quit due to "fundamental differences of opinion on strategy".
Senator Milne played down the resignations, saying the staff automatically lose their jobs after the spill and some had opted for "generous redundancies".

Army no longer is interested in land at NS Ingleside; Indians must wait
In February, the Army expressed interest in the property in a letter to the Navy's BRAC office. A second, more detailed letter of interest was not sent to the office by the March 23 deadline, said Jill Votaw, spokeswoman for the office. Not following up with the second letter is tantamount to withdrawing, she said.
A Navy Notice of Availability on bases closed or realigned by the 2005 Base and Realignment Commission was sent to federal and Defense Department agencies.
The Ingleside base will close by 2011 as a result of last year's base closure commission decisions. The closure means the loss of 7,015 direct and indirect jobs in the area.
The Cochiti Pueblo, a tribe from New Mexico, expressed in February interest in surplus equipment, according to the BRAC office.
"Once the base closes, whatever the local redevelopment authority doesn't want will go to the Defense Reuse Management Office," Votaw said. "Sometimes stuff goes for free and sometimes there's an auction."
Leroy Arquero, lieutenant governor for the pueblo, said the equipment would go to help the pueblo.
"The Cochiti Pueblo Housing Authority is requesting it, but it will go to help all of the pueblo," Arquero said. "It saves us from buying the equipment and whatever is not used at that office will go to other offices that help the pueblo."

Some exempted from minimum wage, increased or not
Thursday - 4/17/2014, 5:26pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some low-paid workers won't benefit even if a long-shot Democratic proposal to raise the federal minimum wage becomes law.
More than a dozen categories of jobs are exempt from the minimum, currently $7.25 an hour. Those exclusions, rooted in labor law history, run from some workers with disabilities to crews on fishing ships to casual baby sitters.
Legislation sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, would gradually raise the minimum to $10.10 by 2016. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it would mean higher earnings for 16.5 million workers -- but also would cost 500,000 others their jobs.
Harkin's measure wouldn't eliminate exemptions, including for live-in companions for the elderly, staffs of state and local elected officials and jobs at summer camps and seasonal amusement parks.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics says nearly 1.8 million hourly workers were paid below $7.25 last year -- about 2 percent of the 76 million Americans earning hourly wages. An additional 1.5 million earned exactly $7.25.
Some earning under that amount are covered by lower requirements. In one major category, wages for tipped employees such as waiters can be as low as $2.13 hourly, as long as their pay reaches the overall federal minimum when tips are included.
Harkin's measure would gradually raise the minimum for tipped workers to 70 percent of the minimum for most workers.
Asked why he wasn't eliminating more exemptions, Harkin said, "I'm having a hard enough time getting votes for the minimum wage" by itself.
According to the statistics bureau, most people earning under $7.25 -- nearly 1.1 million -- work in food services and drinking establishments.
The bureau and the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division said they had no figures on how many workers were illegally paid less than $7.25.
Though Democrats say higher-paid workers would help the economy by spending more, Republicans point to projections that an increase in the minimum wage could cost some workers their jobs. That negative prediction is based on the idea that higher wages would bring higher prices and therefore hurt the economy and employment -- and also on an assumption that a minimum wage increase would lead some businesses to trim the number of low-paid workers.
Harkin, whose bill is slated for Senate debate this month, said there has been "no push" from most exempted groups for minimum wage coverage. Of the excluded groups, the loudest objections have probably come from those representing the disabled.
Employers receiving government certification can employ disabled people at below the minimum wage, paying whatever they determine reflects a worker's productivity.
Most of these employees are mentally impaired and work in special workshops run by organizations like Goodwill and Easter Seals.
The Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division says 229,000 workers were certified for such wages last year. Groups representing disabled people say the figure is over 400,000. Either way, they are a small portion of the roughly 15 million disabled working-age Americans.
Advocates for the disabled say the system, originally meant to encourage employers to hire such workers, is being abused by some organizations that underpay and inadequately train them.
"This is a system that lives on the perception that these people cannot be productive," said Anil Lewis, a top official with the National Federation of the Blind, which wants to repeal the special wages.
But ending that program would mean many disabled workers "would not have the dignity, purpose and pride of a paycheck," said Terry Farmer, CEO of ACCSES, the trade group representing Goodwill and other groups employing disabled people.
A long-time advocate for the disabled, Harkin said he is trying separate legislation to require employers who pay disabled workers below the minimum wage to provide better training for higher-salaried jobs.
The federal minimum wage was created by the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. That New Deal measure also limited the work week -- to 44 hours initially -- and curbed child labor.
When President Franklin Roosevelt signed the bill into law, the minimum was set at 25 cents an hour, mainly covering industrial jobs. To win crucial votes from Southern Democrats in Congress, Roosevelt agreed to exclude occupations like farm laborers and domestic workers, who were largely black.
Also exempted were some other low-paying jobs that employed many women, including retail and many clerical workers. Many at-home jobs were also excluded. People who make evergreen wreaths at home are exempted to this day.
"The farther from the factory model of employment and the closer to some family thing, the likelier you were to get some kind of exception" to coverage, said Nelson Lichtenstein, a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara who has studied labor history.

Rough 27 hours of ball for Padres in losses to LA
San Diego It wasn't a good 27 hours of baseball for the San Diego Padres.
The Padres lost twice to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, although the first defeat officially goes down as having occurred on Friday.
Former teammate Tony Gwynn Jr. singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the 11th inning and the Dodgers won 4-2 in a game that had been suspended at 1:40 a.m. after four rain delays totaling 3 hours, 36 minutes. The game took nearly 24 hours to complete.
Things didn't get better in Saturday night's regularly scheduled game.
Hiroki Kuroda came within one out of his third career shutout and Andre Ethier had a homer among his three hits to lead the Dodgers to a 4-0 win.
"It's a tough day," third baseman Chase Headley said. "Obviously we're a little tired from that fiasco from last night. You want to come out and get that first one. When that didn't happen, you've got to refocus and go after that second one. They just outplayed us today. That's what it came down to."
Kuroda (2-0) was dominating until the seventh, when he still managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam. Until then, he allowed only a walk to Chris Denorfia in the second and a single to Orlando Hudson in the fourth.
Hudson was doubled off by center fielder Matt Kemp trying to take second on Brad Hawpe's fly ball.
The Padres loaded the bases in the seventh on Jason Bartlett's leadoff walk and consecutive one-out singles by Hawpe and Headley. Denorfia grounded to shortstop Jamey Carroll, who started an inning-ending double play.
Kuroda, who gave up six hits, retired the first two batters in the ninth before allowing singles to Hawpe and Headley. Jonathan Broxton came on and walked Denorfia to load the bases. The game ended when Headley was called out for interference for colliding with third baseman Casey Blake, who was going for Cameron Maybin's dribbler between shortstop and third.
Kuroda struck out four and walked two. Broxton got his fifth save.
Dustin Moseley (0-2) allowed three runs, two earned, and eight hits in six innings for San Diego. He walked three and struck out one.
"I got outpitched, so, hang with 'em," he said. "You keep going out there, the boys will start coming through. We've got a good group here and some good hitters. It'll work itself out there."
The suspended game resumed at 5:35 p.m. on a chilly but clear evening, and ended at 6:55 p.m.
Gwynn, the son of Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, entered during a double switch in the bottom of the ninth. With two on in the 11th, he hit a soft liner on a two-strike pitch from sidearmer Pat Neshek that dropped in front of right fielder Will Venable. That brought in Uribe, who was aboard on a leadoff double against Ernesto Frieri (0-1). Gwynn took second on the throw home.
Gwynn, who hit only .204 with the Padres last year, has thought plenty about getting big hits at Petco Park.

'The Doctors' to Feature the Tru-D SmartUVC Hospital Disinfection Robot on January 14
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- THE DOCTORS, an Emmy Award winning, nationally syndicated talk show covering the latest and hottest medical trends invited the Tru-D corporate team to the CBS studios in Hollywood for a featured on-air appearance. The show will air nationally on January 14th.
The Doctors series is co-hosted by a 'dream team' of medical professionals: emergency room physician Travis Stork, pediatrician Jim Sears, obstetrician/gynecologist Lisa Masterson, and plastic surgeon Andrew Ordon. The on-air panel discusses important health and medical issues with special emphasis on the reduction of dangerous hospital acquired infections.
The Tru-D SmartUVC system, as pointed out by The Doctors panel, eliminates human error and provides consistent, repeatable disinfection outcomes. Hospitals cleanliness is a major topic as contamination in patient rooms, intensive care units and operating rooms cause unnecessary sickness and infection that often results in longer... and more costly... hospital stays.
Producers for The Doctors show are tasked with finding evidence-based products and services to support healthcare topics being discussed. After weeks of research and recommendation from leading infection control preventionists, the Tru-D corporate team was invited to the CBS studios. "We are very excited to showcase Tru-D's automated, advanced germicidal disinfection capabilities to our healthcare partners. Tru-D is an important tool to improve patient outcomes," said Tru-D spokesman Chuck Dunn.
The Doctors airs weekdays on CBS-affiliated stations. The hour-long daytime program is distributed globally by CBS Television Distribution.
Tru-D is an automated room disinfection system that uses SmartUVC(TM) to accurately measure and deliver the lethal UV dose required to break apart the DNA of bacteria, virus and spores and render them harmless.
For Tru-D information, please call 800-774-5799 to speak to Chuck Dunn, or go to Tru-D.com for published clinical studies.

Alumna Establishes New Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry
By Meghan Dusek
DEC. 7, 2006-- University of Wisconsin-River Falls alumna, Joanne Belfiori Banks, a 1962 graduate and the 1981 UWRF distinguished alumna, was never comfortable with the tradition academic boundaries that divide knowledge into discrete disciplines.
With her achievements as the American editor of the six-volume edition of the letters of Virginia Woolf, Banks found her perspective a little like Mrs. Dalloway, the title character in Woolf's landmark novel. In the novel, Dalloway ponders interconnectedness: "But to go deeper, beneath what people said...What did it mean to her, this thing she called life? Oh, it was very queer...She felt quite continuously a sense of their existence and she felt what a waste; and she felt what a pity; and she felt if only they could be brought together; so she did it."
That's exactly what Banks had in mind when she gave a generous gift to the UWRF College of Arts and Sciences for the creation of a center that will promote and support interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship across the humanities, arts, social sciences and natural sciences.
Terry Brown, dean of the UWRF College of Arts and Sciences is excited to be part of the groundwork in creating the new Banks Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry. "The center will help support faculty development in interdisciplinary studies, and it will provide physical space for interdisciplinary exchange," says Brown.
Plans include moving to a renovated area in what was known as the Orange Lab in the basement of the Chalmer Davee Library. The center will house the director's office and reception area, as well as a state-of-the-art wireless classroom designed specifically for multidisciplinary inquiry and team teaching equipped with moveable tables and chairs, multiple whiteboards, and multimedia equipment.
Another part of Bank's gift is allocated for supporting sabbatical funding for interdisciplinary teachers and an annual lecture series. The lecture series will bring nationally recognized thinkers to campus while bolstering the intellectual life on campus and significantly raising awareness of UWRF as a center for academic excellence and dialogue in the region.
"This will be devoted to bringing different disciplines together and into dialogue," says Brown, who knew Banks through Woolf academic circles. When the pair met, Brown found much kinship with Banks as both were science majors before switching to literature, and both are cancer survivors.
The act of bringing different disciplines into concert is central to Banks's life work as she started out teaching humanities to engineering students and taught humanities courses for physics majors at Drexel University. Her work installing a literature aspect to the medical program at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine led to the founding an interdisciplinary field that is now a part of many medical programs across the nation.
Banks has also served as co-founder of the Journal of Literature and Medicine ; and a consultant and grant reviewer for the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Having dedicated a life to interdisciplinary academic pursuits, it is only natural that a center devoted to the same would be Banks's legacy to UWRF.
"Jo is one of the most intelligent minds that I have ever been privileged enough to meet," says Bryan Sanders, who was UWRF's major gifts officer when the gift was coordinated. "She has combined both her heart and life-long learning experiences into this extremely generous gift to the university."
While Banks looks back at her past and ponders her legacy, she also recognizes that interdisciplinary education presents several ways at looking at the same subject ...so as Mrs. Dalloway did, she did it.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Village mountain home in the heart of Ludlow with free shuttle bus service to Okemo Ski Mountain on holidays and weekends. This spacious mountain home is located on a secluded cul-de-sac, perfect for families and children to enjoy Vermont's finest outdoor activities such as skiing, ice skating, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, parks, and golf, all conveniently located. Ski shops, restaurants, and local shopping are within a short walking distance. This spacious neighborhood home has a full size kitchen, wood stove, living room, 2 baths, ski storage, full size garage, laundry room, and 5 bedrooms. The home sleeps 12 comfortably. Snow removal service and fully stocked firewood are provided for the entire ski season. This home is certain to make family memories for years to come!
It was a nice and cozy house in a very convenient location. It only took us a few minutes to get to and from the slopes (which was our groups number one request). We were walking distance to restaurants/pubs/and a grocery store. The kitchen was stocked with all that we needed to cook for our group, and the stack of firewood kept us toasty each night. The property is not luxurious (no hot tub or sauna), but it served our group well.
This house was wonderful! We had 10 people for the weekend stay in this house and it was everything as described and more. The kitchen table was big enough to accommodate all of us and the set up of the bedrooms was perfect. Bruce was a great help while I planned this weekend...easy to get in touch with, answered all my questions, and was very affordably priced. The house was well stocked with needed kitchen utensils and plenty of movies and books if you wanted that. The rental shop down the block and shuttle to Okemo was a huge plus as it allowed our group to finish their day at the mountain when they felt they were done and were able to go back to the house without having to wait for anyone.
The house was centrally located in Ludlow within walking distances of groceries and restaurants. The house was true to its description and the 10 of us stayed there comfortably.
We booked this place very last minute (two days before arrival) after the place we were supposed to stay in fell threw. The owner was very accomodating and gave us a really great rate.
The house was very comfortable, clean and easy to be in with 8 adults and 5 children under the age of 6. Bedrooms were decent sizes, most were big enough to fit portable cribs. One room was probably a very large closet, but still had room for a double bed, dresser and window, it was a good size for one of the kids. Fully stocked kitchen was great, epsecially happy to have the huge table in the ktichen that could fit all of us. The side porch and ski room were great to have too to dump all our equipment.
Didn't have any issues with the hot water like the previous reviewer, but we were unable to get the heat to turn off, even with the thermostat turned all the way down. Wouldn't be a problem in the middle of winter, but we had one day of 70 degree weather and it was a little tough to take! No screens on windows, but there were no bugs so it wasn't a problem to keep them open.
Walking distance to everything in town, 10 min. walk to grocery store, and all shops and restaruants. 1 mile from Okemo.
Overall it was a great stay, would definitely stay there again!
We had a blast. The home was very warm, spacious, clean and fit all our needs. We were 2 families with 4 teenage kids. Plenty of room to spread out and relax after a day of activities. Kitchen accommodated everyone and there was room for more. Only issue was 2 people could not shower at the same time. The upstairs shower lost all hot water when the downstairs shower was turned on. We made due and rotated.

Fast Break: Celtics vs. Timberwolves
|12.20.09 at 8:32 pm ET
BOSTON – Their first meeting was close, but that would not be the case on Sunday. The Celtics reached a season-high in scoring and easily defeated the T'Wolves, 122-104, at the Garden.
Turning Point: In a moment that is sure to appear on SportsCenter, Eddie House stole the ball, passed it behind his back as he stumbled out of bounds near the scorer's table and dished it to Tony Allen for a dunk over Corey Brewer. That second-quarter play proved the entire Celtics squad ' not just their starting five ' was going to cause problems for the Timberwolves.
Player of the Game: Paul Pierce hit six 3s (tying a team season-high) and led all players with 29 points. He shot a perfect three-for-three from long range in the second quarter alone. Pierce also chipped in seven rebounds and four assists.
– Tony Allen also had an impressive night ' 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists. This was Allen's second consecutive double-digit performance.
– The Celtics scored a season-high 34 points in the first quarter. (The previous high was 31 against the Thunder on December 4.) The Celtics held the Timberwolves to 28 percent shooting in the first quarter (7-25 FG). Just four Minnesota players scored in the first 12 minutes compared to seven on the C's.
– Kendrick Perkins was whistled for a technical in the third quarter. He did not get to the free throw line the entire night.
– The Celtics improved to 4-0 when scoring more than 30 points in the first quarter. They are also 4-0 on Sundays.

Defining me... | brokenalways's Blog
Like pure emptiness and nothingness today.
Stayed in bed till 1pm, had late dinner and a snack, stayed in the conserverty all day laid on the couch next to the heater watching tele in my onesie all snug. Had late tea, snack, now it's ten to 9 and I'm a celebrity is on soon then it's back to more tele then bed whenever.
Mum keeps asking me if I'm okay- just cause I'm like ultra quiet and isolated today.
I just want to escape from the world.
I just wish I was dead.
So> last night was also pretty shit.
I need to learn who my friends are. I've had enough of my supposed to be friend- she uses me and is the most ignorant and rude person I have ever met. So, I've had enough of her for a few weeks...
Looks like this week I'm gonna stay inside my little house being an extra depressive boring bitch, even more than usual- yes, I think it's possible...
After going out (and not getting drunk as planned) yesterday I drove home and listened to my music full blast (probably not the best idea since afterwards I had a headache), I sung along- thank god nobody was on the roads or pavement else they would have heard. It was around 3am. I just thought to myself- wishing I could actually give up. I cried and cried.
Thank god the darkness would hide me and the roads were near enough clear!
I think I just had enough for the million-th time.
Like I said- ill give it a couple of years. If nothing better comes from this 'life' then I truly do give up and death here I come...
oh. And stupidest thing ever.
The house I have lived in for all my life, yeah, we'll. I ordered some underwear before from Ann summers and then went and ordered more of debenams. I put on both of them my address with the wrong door number. I must be the stupidest person ever. So I told mum and she's gonna go round to the house tomorrow to tell them and ask them to bring us the parcels.
I wouldn't mind that much, it's just like if they don't give them us, and they nosey in it, well- embarrassment for me as I bought tons of pretty bras, knickers and thongs.
Blah. Here's hoping they don't look and be nice decent neighbours and give them to me as soon as they arrive ! They have my name on just the wrong number- I'm such a dumb blonde!!

JTHO's sketchbook // Updated DEC27
Hello CAers
I've been a big fan of this place for a bit, so much inspirational work and talent here. I've been scared to post much because the quality of work here is so high, but I finally got around to uploading a bunch of stuff so I think I have enough to make a decent first post. Please let me know what you think, I'm serious about improving.
(My initial post's dump has been tidied up and merged with the second post so I can change my thumbnail easier)

wow this stuff is great, I like your creature designs alot, keep posting.
November 15th, 2006 #5
really impressed with your shading. the first creature's hind legs, in the picture from the back, seems a little flat though, I cant see the muscles as well as you've shown them in the very first picture. Can tell you've been working on your hand studies, personally I like your pencil sketches better than the digi one. Another picture that I really like is the one of the boy (can just see his face), I think you've captured his emotion very well. On the picture of the man next to that with the bands around his face I really like the way you've shaded his torso. Nice stuff, keep pushing.
the sole intention is learning to fly
November 15th, 2006 #6
Good head and hand studies. Push the contrast on those new hand studies you put up a little bit more. Proportion on the full figures could be worked on. Shading is very nice as well. I would love to see more. Its a good mixture of imaginative work and study. I really like the new Ocupus man with the staff. good deal.
November 15th, 2006 #7
Nice first post. Dont worry, I get no love in my sb either, haha.
November 16th, 2006 #8
Heheheh, he said love
Good stuf you got going on here, your proportions are great and your creatures are cool, nice textures and colors... wtf can I crit? I'm not really sure, your colored pieces which are most finished are almost there, something is missing and I can't tell what it is though...

The colour study of the pillars are great. Good lighting. It seems youre in the right direction with your pencils too.
November 16th, 2006 #11
Some more studies from the past couple days and a character. Seems like all the cool kids are doing speedpaints so I've started doing one a day on top of my daily regimen. I'd never done one before so I'm sort of flying blind, but they were fun and felt like good exercise.
As always, please leave feedback~
November 16th, 2006 #12
Loving the character poses, and those creatures look just plain awsome. It`s easy to see you have a big imagination, and the shading is impressive
Would be nice to see some muscle studies
November 16th, 2006 #13
nice studies, and your rendering is definitely getting there. Only thing I'd suggest working on a little more is your perspective. Oh and keep it up, more please, etc etc
November 17th, 2006 #14
hey whats up. That picture of the womans face about 3 pictures down is looking really nice. i really like your use of hatching in it; Actually, most of your rendering of faces is quite well done. Your characters, however, look a little bit stiff. Pay a little more attention to what the shoulders and hips do to support and balance the weight of the body maybe. It looks like your drawing from life though, so you probably are well on the way of getting that. anyway, hope that helps. keep it up man.

Smokey: Thanks, I've actually been doing some more loomis muscle studies in my sketchbook!
Ferg: Agreed about my perspective, it's something I should consider more in my work, thanks for the comment.
ArtZealot: Thanks for the comment, I've been trying to do lots of study from ref and life gesture studies lately to help my sense of overall posture and balance, hopefully I can add a little more zest to my figures when these pay off.
Been busy lately , but I managed to knock out a teen challenge thunderdome entry. I've got some pencil stuffs to scan when I get home as well. As always, feedback encouraged

There's a little staging problem in the horned monster picture (the first of the latest four), the structure near the elbow of his right arm seems a bit like some growth from his arm (bet it's something else), wud love to see it staged properly.
Keep them coming! Nice Artworks!!!
November 22nd, 2006 #19
yeah i agree the new red one is very nice. I'd like to see you continue working on that one! Once again nice work on the hand studies. That last one is pretty muddled and im not sure about the color sceme, for some reason i feel the fire/energy/smoke in the mouth/door and the fire/energy/smoke coming out of the top should be the same. keep going!

There is a great variety of mediums and subjects; Imaginative and studies in here. Keep posting as much as you can. Firstly it means that you are working a lot, which leads to improvement. Also it will help you get more comments. The more you post, the more your sb will be near the top of the list, the area where most people browse. Be patient, sometimes it takes a while to get comments in your sketch book. It took me a long time to get more than one comment per art dump. The best way to get people into your sketch book is to go out and post in other people's sketch books. I don't just mean post once and then hope that they start posting in yours on a regular basis. I mean find some people who's art you really appreciate, and regularly comment on their art. Eventually they are going to visit yours and start posting in it. All that I am saying is spoken from experience so just know that you are not the only one who has been there.
Another good thing about posting in other's sb's on a regular basis is that having the link to your sb in your signature makes it easier for people to see you, think you might be interesting, and visit your sb regardless as to where it is on the list.
I hope this has been helpful
Keep posting, I'll see you around
December 7th, 2006 #21
Your creatures are very interesting and creative.
Def. would like to see more of them.
Keep it up.

A little update finally, I've been so busy finish my end of semester work I haven't had any time to draw . Now that my long winter break is starting soon though my productivity should explode, so stay tuned.
Here's what I'm working on now. As always feedback encouraged.

Nice man, Like the hand studies.

For a long time I've been harboring a dark secret. I can't draw women for shit, so I've decided that I'm going to focus on eradicating this gap in my skillset head on. I did a quick full-body female just to take stock of how awful my perceptions of the female form were and what needed most work, and then set out on finding tons of reference from loomis and another figure drawing book I have.
Bonus digital scribble I did at 5 AM in sleeplessness.

Daraf: Thanks for the comment! The hand studies are exhausting practice, but my goal is to do at least one every day so that I can turn one of my weaknesses into a strength over time.
Normally I like to keep my weekly challenge thingies secret until they're done, but I felt I could benefit from some feedback, given my color-retardedness.
Here's the early progress, subject is the horseman of the apocalypse who represents war.

nice sketchbook! the last one seems like its coming along nice, cool idea.
not much to comment,I like your linework, studies, and the painting is also coming along.
just remember o scale the image up double size, so when your painting all the details so youl be painting in 100% scale, then when finnished you scale back to original , this is always good since you wont be needing to overdraw some lines 100 times before it looks good. you might be doing this, but if not you should try it out, as soon as you feel the details are getting hard to draw scale up..
one more thing, with this is that if you start detailing to soon , and when you zoom out the thing you detailed is totaly out of proportion. so remember to go step by step.

Nice to see you tackle the female anatomy. It is important for us as artist to work on our weaknesses.

Then, climbing and descending a ladder rountinely in the winter. Ooph. I like all things sailing, but I've found my limit.
I do recall a family friend that lived aboard over the winter, but the boat was kept indoors.
Yea, living on the hard does not sound pleasant. I could only see doing it if I were doing repairs on the bottom. Lots of people think it would be better to be on the hard in winter, but water is a lot warmer than air during the winter! I think few yards will let you do it so it is good to know of a few that may allow it. The thought of having to climb down a ladder and walk across a parking lot to use the head, is a lot worse than the furthest slip! Especially in the winter.
