Outdoor tennis today
As per my partner's rule regarding weather, where there's no snow nor cold winds we play.
We could still manage to hit 90minutes at 3 degrees Celsius last week. He recalled that last year we enjoyed -4 degrees :shock: which I could not recall how I survived it. Maybe due to the 14-year layoff from playing and I just started to play last year - and really.. it felt sooo good. There was excitement that time.
Now, since I won B-class singles in my club I joined this year, and cannot think of surviving zero temp tomorrow morning. Am I having the "elite" type of behaviour? Strings I noticed loses tensions. But it doesn't affect my regimen of muscle-memory stroke training.
I assume 0 Celcius is 32 Farhrenheit? That's not too cold, it's freezing. Long pants, socks, shoes, long shirt, cap, and you're fine.
OTOH, it's pouring rain here. I've hit in pouring rain, was fine with my 12.5 oz racket hitting those heavy wet balls. Our running and movement, however, was lacking in grace and precision.
As long as it is sunny and above freezing everything is good.

The iconic Italian plumber turns 25
Mario is the most identifiable character in video game history, making innumerable appearances in games that not only see him star as the main protagonist, but also as a race car driver, street-fighter, basketball player, snowboarder and all-round brilliant sportsman. His cameo appearances (often included in games as 'Easter Eggs') are world famous as well, with game developers often paying tribute to his exploits and rich videogame heritage.
Created by acclaimed game designer Shigeru Miyamoto back in 1981, Mario would make his debut as a videogame character that same year as 'Jumpman' in the arcade game Donkey Kong. Simple mathematics will tell you that 'Jumpman', in fact, would turn 29 this year, but he would make his first appearance as the main protagonist in Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo's NES console only five years later.
While platforming games were not entirely uncommon at the time, they often lacked complexity and depth. Super Mario Bros. would change all of that with a gameplay system whose fundamental mechanics form the basis for the platformers of today, a whole 25 years later. While games such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy serve as mantle-carriers of the franchise, several games have been inspired by the Italian plumber's exploits, including Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's Crash Bandicoot and more recently, Sony's LittleBigPlanet, all of which owe a huge debt to Mario for creating and defining a genre of video games.
Over the years, however, Mario has been less than faithful to the platforming genre (although it clearly occupies a special place in his virtual heart), expanding to sports, racing, puzzle, role-playing, fighting and a host of casual and party games. Unsurprisingly, he has enjoyed considerable success in almost everything he has dabbled in, with games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart and Mario Strikers: Charged all garnering critical acclaim while also proving successful commercially.
What's new for Mario? Well, with the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 he has reinforced his position as the video game industry's undisputed champion thanks to a Metacritic aggregate of 97. One of the highest rated games of all time, Super Mario Galaxy 2 develops on the hugely successful Super Mario Galaxy adding features such as co-operative gameplay (a huge hit in New Super Mario Bros. Wii), the ability to ride the dinosaur Yoshi and dozens of new, exciting power-ups.
But it looks like Mario is not planning another adventure any time soon, allowing his other Nintendo comrades such as Link (Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ), Samus Aran (Metroid: Other M) and Kirby (Kirby's Epic Yarn) to enjoy the spotlight. His next appearance will be at the 'Game of the Year' awards at the end of the year, when Super Mario Galaxy 2 walks away with a bazillion trophies, all of which Mario will collect with his trademark nonchalance. Happy birthday, Mario, and thanks for the countless number of finger-breaking, yet fun hours in front of our TV sets.

Studies.....from life and from the masters
UPDATE: My name is Ramon Hurtado, I'm a 21 year old art student currently in Los Angeles. My sole aim is to work hard in order to master the craft and create paintings that express the beauty of the world around us, like my hero Mariano Fortuny.
Feel free to leave comments and critiques, all feedback is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: My name is still Ramon Hurtado, now I'm a 19 year old art student applying for illustration (Ent Arts) at Art Center for spring 09, hoping to get some sort of scholarship. I like to think my goals are simple, I want to get really really good at drawing and painting As always, comments and critiques are greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: My name is Ramon Hurtado, I'm an 18 year old freshman in USC's animation program, but my interests have shifted toward painting and illustration. My current inspirations are: J.C. Leyendecker, Hals, Dean Cornwell, Velazquez, Repin, Sargent, Zorn, Sorolla, and Rubens.
I'm desperately trying to get better and every comment helps, so lemme have it!
Original post
Hi everybody, i havent had much luck with replies in the SB section, and i just recently started looking at this section and all the great work here, so i decided to post some of my studies for some much needed critiques.
A bit of bkgd, my name's Ramon Hurtado, i'm a high school senior right now and will be attending USC's animation and digital arts program in the fall. My goals are to become proficient in representational drawing, painting and sculpting and to ultimately become a character animator. As of now, favorite artists are Sargent, Goya, Michelangelo, Copley and Rubens.
Anyway, on to the work!

Nice work. You're on the right track. And if you are serious about improving your art, this is the section to post. you'll recieve the most helpful comments here. The other sections are mainly for those who want ass pats and ball rubs, except of course for the critiques section where you are generally told how much you suck. If you want specific comments try posting only a few pieces at a time. It's overwhelming to try to comment on a large quantity like this, but I give you much credit for your obvious hard work.
Strange coincidence that every man whose skull has been opened had a brain.

you do it better than I do though

Hey panchosimpson, nice work! I really like that last piece, seems like your shading skills are growing already, even the reflected light looks good (I'm really struggling with that ). Is this from a master work too?
Keep it up
Woke up this morning, found out my signature was gone..

I do like your works, and you show good progress. One thing I should mention is that it seems that you have a tendency to get lazy about the quality of lines after a certain point on some pieces you've posted (mainly the observation pieces and not master work copies). The shading in the life studies or sketches can vary from excellent (i.e. your sister's portraits) to being terribly flat (your father "kickin' back", the fruit basket): always keep a keen eye on noting the darkest and lightest spots to give your drawings a good sense of depth.
Overall you have good strengths! You remind me a lot of myself when I was in high school. And keep working and posting!

no crits otherwise, keep it up

Pancho, I'm not sure what to tell you. You are doing GREAT! Don't let your ego get too big, okay? ;-) And don't worry about not getting crits. These sorts of traditional studies just aren't attention-grabbers around here the way that big boobs and big monsters are. But the sort of work that you are doing is obviously teaching you lots. Keep up the good work! Make sure that you are having fun with your art. And make sure that you arent relying too much on excited feedback from others to make it fun. (Its an easy trap to fall into!)
Youre going to kick some butt with animation. :-)
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

I'm curious about your art education. Have you had good instruction or did you do alot of research to teach yourself the basics of representational art? You have so much potential! I can tell that you haven't had much experience drawing from the life model. It's actually harder to draw people who have clothing on: you have to project the body and then feel the clothing on top of the form. I'm sure you'll have great life classes next year and it will be fun to watch your work progress. I'm not worried about your getting a "swelled head." It's obvious that it's your love of painting and drawing that motivates you - not the need to be famous. Just stay humble and keep seeking and the magic of it all won't die. The best of luck to you.
April 29th, 2007 #30
I agree with Maxine and Seedling - nice stuff. Keep doing stuff from life and you'll make a fine animator one day I'm sure of it. I hope I can become a half way decent character animator too once I'm finish with college Take care man.

One of the more challenging things for many people when it comes to sex is to find what really turns them on after having removed all of their shame and judgment. The next big step is to then state their desires out loud to themselves and to their intimate partners. It is easier said than done, because it requires time, patience and dedication.
Recently, one of my sex coaching clients Vicky, started our session by exclaiming "Holy shit. I think it's actually revolutionary what I'm doing. I am practicing being sexual. I can now actually use the word 'sex' without feeling self-conscious or guilty. I am finding my sexual voice. And damn, it does take practice!"
Vicky has been practicing what is often referred to as "Orgasmic Yoga" or "Core Erotic Practice."
She has been on a 30 day practice schedule of working solo with her own body; exploring it on a physical and emotional level. Orgasmic Yoga is a pleasurable, intimate and transformative discipline that is practiced while sexually aroused. The goal is to develop or reclaim erotic capacities. Some individuals practice it to reawaken the awesome feelings in their body, others to discover it for the first time.
Taking the time to participate in a mindful, planned solo erotic practice allows the individual to focus on what is substantial in their sexuality rather than what is superficial.
Vicky has also been working to identify her peak erotic experiences in order to understand what gives her authentic sexual pleasure. The desired result is to giver herself the ability to better communicate her sexual needs to herself and to her partner. This takes guts, and it takes time. It can feel like a radical step to actually practice being sexual. But Vicky, like the countless women and men that I work with, have decided they really want to own their own sexuality; that it's their time.
From Vicky:
"I attended a music workshop recently where we explored the idea of stepping out and dipping our toes into fear. This was about trying on new ways to use our voices, and about performing. It was all new to me, for I am not a performer at all, and while I sing in a community choir, I sing very quietly. I enjoy learning and I feel safe as long as I am surrounded by a group of stronger singers. I imagined the choir as my comfort zone, where I could participate without having to step out into the fear of performing solo.
"But this is not really a comfort zone at all, as I learned during the workshop. My comfort zone is what I know and explore about my own voice. What can it do? What is its range? Where is the heart of the music I love? The only way to discover it is through practice. And more practice. The comfort zone is here, in my own voice. And once I know my own voice, then I can step out into the unknown, fearful places where I can challenge myself to change and expand and share my voice with others.
"It was in choir that I made the connection between our sex coaching and choir.
"I had always thought that my sexual comfort zone was a very confined space, where I would not be challenged, where my partner would be 'fine' with the status quo of our intimate life. I thought the best I could ever hope for was to somehow get better at it, so I could please him better. I thought I wanted the comprehensive 'how-to' manual, but even if there was such a thing, I was too embarrassed and shy to look at it.
"But that's not the comfort zone, is it? What I am learning is that it starts with me. I get to discover my own self as a sexual being, finally, in my mid-fifties! I have to learn to name what my own heart and mind and body want. I need to discover for the first time how sex works for me. I need to come to my senses. It's a bit of a paradox. It's scary to be discovering my own comfort zone. And if this is scary, what will it be like to step out of it?"

BEAVERCREEK — In any competitive sport, the coach can never quite be certain of the kind of team he'll have the following year. You could have everybody back. Or you could expect everybody back, and not have that happen.
Things change.
And so when the Scheduling Gods got together several months ago, a doubleheader between a solid Beavercreek Beavers softball team and defending Greater Catholic League North champ Dayton Carroll sounded like a good competitive pair of ball games.
Things change.
"We've been struggling this season," said Carroll coach Mike Davis. "We lost six or seven senior starters to graduation, other kids decided not to come back this season. Then today, we have one regular starter who is hurt, another is on a Senior trip and another is playing in a soccer tournament. So we had an entirely inexperienced outfield out there for both games today. I'm proud of how hard these girls continue to play, but we've had a lot of games this season that have ended like today."
Beavercreek swept Saturday's Rotary Park doubleheader with run-ruled victories in each. Aided by a pair of Patriot errors, the Beavers exploded for eight runs on six hits in the fourth inning of Game One for a 16-1 win. All but one Beavers batter got a hit in that contest, and even that batter drove in a run.
Hannah Malone, Claire Christie, Colleen Hines, Carli See, Kayla Dinsmore, Emma Mann, Sydney Harville and Cierra Chastain were a combined 17-for-17 at the plate, with Dinsmore and Chastain both going 3-for-3.
Hines entered the game as the Greater Western Ohio Conference's leader in doubles. She went 2-for-2 with two doubles, two runs batted in, scored three times and stole a base. She hit her 12th double of the season in Game Two.
While there were two Patriots errors in the first game, the dam burst with Carroll errors in the second. There were six in the Beavers' 11-run first inning alone as Beavercreek won, 20-0.
Malone whapped a grand slam in the third. Alyssa Margioras then homered to drive in three more runs in the bottom of the fourth. In both games combined, Beavercreek out-hit Carroll, 34-6.
In the first game, Carroll's leading hitter, Taylor Waggoner, led off the game with a hit and advanced to third on Valerie Gigous' two-out single, but couldn't score. Stephanie Ryan led off the second with a single, and had reached third on two successive infield groundouts, but she too was left perched on third when the inning ended. It wasn't until Shelby Joseph laced a fourth inning single into left field to score Gigous with Carroll's lone run of the day.
In the second game, Beavercreek's freshman pitcher Chastain had a no-hitter going, until Carroll's Hannah Barnes singled to center in the fifth. Fellow freshman Sydney Harville scattered five Pats hits in her first-game win.
"Teams change from year to year. You don't always know who you're going to face from year to year," explained Beavercreek's coach Raquel Moran. "They had seven seniors and they won their league last year, so you never know. It's difficult for both teams, because we see different levels of pitching from game to game. I also think it's good for both teams, because they learn to adjust to their circumstances and still have fun playing the game.
"You've got to play good competition in order to get better."
Beavercreek (9-10) returns to GWOC action today for a 5 p.m. game on the road against Clayton Northmont.
Carroll (3-11) is back in Greater Catholic League play Wednesday when they'll head to Cincinnati to play a 5 p.m. contest with Purcell Marian.

The Growing U.S. Trade Imbalance with China
|May 1997Volume 3, Number 7
|JEL classification: F13, F14, F32
Authors: Thomas Klitgaard and Karen Schiele
Over the past decade, the United States has gone from enjoying a small trade surplus with China to grappling with an enormous deficit. Just to keep the gap from expanding in 1997, U.S. exports to China would need to grow at an extraordinary ratefour times as fast as Chinese exports to the United States. Despite recent gains and China's efforts at trade liberalization, growth on that order appears unlikely, and the deficit can be expected to widen in the near term.

Sham Sunder
The scheme is being continued during the vacation in four taluks in Hassan
Scheme continued in 1,399 schools in the district Attendance in four taluks is less than 30 per cent
HASSAN: The Government has declared four taluks in Hassan district Arsikere, Chennaraypatna, Holenarsipur and Belur as drought-affected and ordered that "bisi oota" (midday meal) be provided to children in these taluks during the summer holidays and special pay given to teachers to engage the children.
Accordingly, the scheme was continued in 1,399 schools in the district. This included 410 schools in Arsikere taluk, 422 in Chennaraypatna, 306 in Belur and 261 in Holenarsipur taluk.
Poor response
But the results have not been encouraging. Many students are not turning up for the meal.
Of the 185 students in Hagare Government Primary School in Belur taluk, no one has turned up. At the Government Primary School in Angadihalli, also in Belur taluk, only 15 of the 125 students are coming to school for the midday meal. The children have gone somewhere on vacation or they are just not turning up.
Midday meal scheme workers went to some of the houses, but the children refused to come to school.
The purpose of the Government deciding to provide "bisi oota" during the vacation was to provide children with nutrition food, and to help their parents go to work.
Zilla panchayat Chief Executive Officer F.R. Jamaadar told The Hindu that at a grievances meeting held in his chamber on Saturday, the Education Officer in-charge of the "bisi oota" scheme had said that attendance in the four taluks was less than 30 per cent.
Mr. Jamaadar said that he had directed the officer to conduct a survey in all villages in the drought-affected taluks with the help of teachers, and find out why the students were not turning up at the schools. If necessary, food could be prepared at one centre in each village till the vacation is over and students could be asked to take food in these centres, he said.
He said he had also directed the officer to advise parents to send their children to school so that they could be taught, besides being provided food.
Mr. Jamaadar said he was expecting a report from the officer in this regard in four to five days.

BOISE -- The Idaho Youth Ranch is announcing a big change.
After 60 years in the Magic Valley near Rupert, the ranch facility that houses troubled youth will be closing its doors in the coming years.
Idaho Youth Ranch President and CEO Steve Woodworth says it's a decision they've been discussing for a long time.
The ranch is a place that has provided a home for kids to live and get counseling, along with animal therapy.
It has even gained national attention with a visit by the Today Show.
But Woodworth says the facility is starting to fall apart, and more importantly, it's hard for the families they serve to get there.
The non-profit says while it may be an emotional move for many, it's the right decision in order to help even more kids across the state.
The ranch offers not just a home, but counseling, classes, and animal therapy to help those needing specialized care for behavioral issues.
Kids can really benefit by working with animals, kids who are traumatized, it really helps with their trauma, they can really learn a lot about their own lives and behavior by working with the horses, said Woodworth.
But the non-profits' leaders says it's time to move on.
We had to make a pretty big decision that is moving our ranch campus where we were founded in the Magic Valley to this area, said Woodworth.
Woodworth says over the next few years they will phase out the ranch and begin building three similar locations in the Treasure Valley, northern and eastern Idaho.
He says the current location needs repairs and the facility needs to be closer to the families it serves.
It's a really an isolated location there, takes a long time to get there from here and other parts of state, said Woodworth.
The non-profit is run mostly on money made by the Idaho Youth Ranch thrift stores you see around town, and donations to the organization started 60 years ago by founders Rev. James and Ruby Crowe, with the goal to help as many kids as possible.
Senior vice president for programs Dr. Robert Ball says they will take the best of the ranch and pass it on to the new facilities.
We're able to take all the stuff we have there that we know works and add to it, said Ball.
But after so many years of good work, everyone knows it will be hard to say good-bye to the place that's changed so many.
We knew going in to this some people would be upset, and it's hard for some folks from an emotional standpoint, but I think what's important is that the ranch has become more than a facility, said Woodworth.
Over the decades, the Idaho Youth Ranch has helped 25,000 families and kids.
Leaders tell us another big benefit of moving to closer to the city will be the proximity to community programs.
Woodworth tells us they are still in the planning period and the transition will probably take about two and a half years.
As for the current ranch property, they're not sure whether they will sell it, or use it for another purpose.

It's only previous market appearance was as Lot 753 in the March 1945 Barney Bluestone auction of the incomparable Grinnell Collection.

History note
First World War period placard improvised by German troops on the Western Front and commemorating the 'Easter Rising' in Dublin, Ireland, in April 1916. This placard together with another (FEQ 172) referring to the fall of Kut, was placed on the German parapets opposite the 8th (Service) Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers at Hulluch. At 1am on 10 May 1916 a patrol led by Lieutenant F J Biggane of the battalion cut the German wire and captured both placards from an enemy sap at H25d49, 1 in 10,000 map sheet 36CNW3. The placards were presented to King George V on 25 July 1916, by Lieutenant-Colonel Williamson, Commanding Officer of the 8th Munsters.

Which Is Safer, Bottle Or Tap?
Despite public belief, tap water could actually be more pure than some bottled water, according to a report from the General Accountability Office on Wednesday.
The report found notable disparities between the management of public drinking water systems and the bottled water industry.
"Public water systems must annually provide consumer confidence reports that summarize local drinking water quality information about the water's sources, detected contaminants, and compliance with national primary drinking water regulations as well as information on the potential health effects of certain drinking water contaminants," the GAO said in a summary.
"FDA does not require bottled water companies to provide this information. Rather, as in the case of other foods, bottled water labels are required to list ingredients and nutritional information and are subject to the same prohibitions against misbranding."
"Many people assume bottled water is healthier and safer to drink than ordinary tap water," said Jane Houlihan of the Environmental Working Group, which also submitted a report to the committee.
"But some companies have lured consumers away from the tap with claims of health and purity that aren't backed by public data."
Joseph Doss, president and chief executive officer of the International Bottled Water Association, testified stating that 8.7 billion gallons of water were consumed in the US during 2008. That translates into 28.5 gallons per person.
"Sales revenues for the United States bottled water market in 2008 were approximately $11.2 billion," Doss said.
The GAO pointed out the FDA regulates DEHP "" an organic compound widely used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride plastics "" in tap water, while it does not regulate the compound in bottled water.
"Specifically, FDA deferred action on DEHP in a final rule published in 1996, and has yet to either adopt a standard or publish a reason for not doing so, even though FDA's statutory deadline for acting on DEHP was more than 15 years ago," the GAO said.
"More broadly, we found that FDA's regulation of bottled water (including its implementation and enforcement), particularly when compared with EPA's regulation of tap water, reveals key differences in the agencies' statutory authorities."
According to Reuters, Doss told the hearing that DEHP is not likely to be found in bottled water.

A high-level committee, headed by the Chief Secretary, has recommended to the government not to accept the revised offer of Welspun Infratech Limited (India) for taking up the port operator's role at the proposed International Transhipment Port at Vizhinjam. A consortium led by Welspun, the only entity in the scene for taking up the role, had originally sought a grant of Rs.479.54 crore from the State government. Subsequently, the consortium scaled down its grant demand to Rs.399.5 crore.
The committee told the government that the Welspun-led consortium could be considered for the port operator's role if it was ready to take it up without any demand for grant. The committee suggested that this stand could be communicated to the consortium to know its willingness and, if the response was negative, the government could go in for a fresh tender.
The Cabinet would examine the committee's report and take a decision, a top official told The Hindu. Besides the Chief Secretary, the committee includes the Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Principal Secretary (Finance), Principal Secretary (Ports), Law Secretary and the Managing Director of VISL, the government company facilitating the project.

Earlier today I sent this letter to City of London Councillor Dale Henderson regarding the recent revelations that he spent over $7,000 on video equipment, a website, and graphics for DaleTV.ca. Additionally, he has explained he will "probably" keep the equipment, despite being reimbursed, once he has completed his career in London municipal politics.
References: The McLeod Report | London Free Press | AM980

To: Dale Henderson
CC: Joe Fontana, Bud Polhill, Joe Swan, Nancy Branscombe, Judy Bryant, Matt Brown
Date: Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Subject: DaleTV
Dear Councillor Henderson,
I am, frankly, rather disappointed with how you have conducted yourself lately. Not only are you embroiled in today's Open Meetings investigation being conducted by staff of the Ombudsman's office, but yesterday's controversy surrounding DaleTV, and it's related expenses, have begin to shine one very dark light on you.
Personally I have not been very impressed with your tenure thus far as a City Councillor, and I suspect many of your constituents feel the same. In fact, I'm certain they do, as I'm personally in contact with many of them on a frequent basis as friends and acquaintances. I'm going to ask you a few questions that I believe deserve answers, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's looking for them.
- Why was so much money spent on DaleTV? Why did it cost so much for something that could have been achieved for under $500 using a more suitable camera, less expensive video editing equpiment, building a green screen yourself (there are many tutorials online), and buying a stock photo to achieve a similar background?
- If this is a community engagement activity, why are comments disabled on your YouTube channel and website/blog? It doesn't seem to encourage much engagement if people cannot communicate with you using the same method you want to communicate with them.
- Given that you want the City to reimburse you for the money spent on the equipment and production for DaleTV, will you also be sharing revenues derived from the YouTube channel? For example, I had to watch a 15 second advertisement prior to watching Episode 1. I'm also a member of YouTube's revenue sharing program, and know for a fact that ad revenue will be shared with you from those ads.
- If the City reimburses you for the money spent on the equipment, how do you justify your statement on "probably" keeping the equipment after you complete your tenure with London municipal politics?
- You are, seemingly, a fiscal conservative. How do you justify these types of costs under the ideology of attempting to save taxpayers money, reduce City expenses, and lower spending overall? For example, you claim it will be less expensive for many of the communities north of the City if London were to annex them and put in the sewers for them. You have also supported the tax freeze that Mayor Fontana has put forth each year. Clearly you're interested in reducing taxpayer costs.
- In episode 2, you talk about a ring road and annexation. How exactly do you propose to, "quietly decide where that [ring] road will go, so we don't have all the property values go to the moon," as you put it? I'm fairly confident that would violate several laws related to open meetings, and therefore is simply illegal.
You, Councillor Henderson, have much to answer for. I'm afraid you have many ideas, but want to do many things in secret. That is highly unethical, and I don't feel any of your ideas don't result in going to taxpayers and say, "Gimme more, gimme more." I look forward to your responses.
Oh, and I have also CC'd each member of the Corporate Services Committee. Given that they played a part in approving the DaleTV-related expenses, I felt they should see the questions I'm asking, along with your answers. I hope you don't mind.
Derek E. Silva

Mercantil Banco Universal has been expanding its loan portfolio, which has led to year-on-year growth despite a economic contraction and slow liquidity growth in Venezuela.
Boosting lending
capabilities will continue to be a focus, Gustavo Marturet,
president of Mercantil Banco Universal tells
The bank now aims to grow
in the consumer sector. "We expect to increase our presence
with a broader client base, expand consumer lending and credit
facilities to small and mid-size companies," says Marturet.
At the end of June 2010 Mercantil was the leading
institution in the Venezuelan financial system in terms of
loans to the tourism, manufacturing and mortgage sectors, with
18.7%, 20.1% and 16.6% of market share, respectively,

Mountain West looks tougher than ever as league play begins
Worst loss: Oregon.
Outlook: Bennett is a national freshman of the year candidate. Moser dislocated an elbow on Dec. 9 and returned to play 12 so-so minutes against North Carolina last week, but Rice says he might sit him until "he's closer to being himself." With Pitt transfer Khem Birch becoming eligible last month, the Rebels have the option to go big in a guard-oriented league. The key will be whether they can solve their conference road woes; they were 2-5 last season, and the two wins were in overtime.
No. 25 NEW MEXICO (13-2)
Last season: 28-7, 10-4 (tied first).
Coach: Steve Alford (sixth season).
Key players G Kendall Williams (14.9 ppg, 4.7 apg), G Tony Snell (11.1 ppg), C Alex Kirk (11.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg).
Best wins: UConn, at Cincinnati.
Worst loss: South Dakota State.
Outlook: Tough to know what to make of the Lobos after a 12-0 start. They closed the nonconference schedule by losing at home to South Dakota State, beating No. 8 Cincy on the road, then trailing 33-13 at the half at St. Louis (and losing by 14). But they have played the nation's 11th toughest schedule, and in the 7-0 Kirk – back this season after back surgery – they have one of the league's only true big men. The opener: UNLV at The Pit on Wednesday.
Last season: 20-12, 8-6 (fourth).
Coach: Larry Eustachy (first season).
Key players: G Wes Eikmeier (10.8 ppg), G Dorian Green (12.7 ppg), C Colton Iverson (14.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg).
Best wins: at Washington, Virginia Tech.
Worst loss: at Illinois-Chicago.
Outlook: Everyone is back, except for Coach Tim Miles (who left for Nebraska). Iverson, a 6-10 transfer from Minnesota, gives the Rams the inside presence they lacked last season. They are the conference's most experienced team, with five senior starters, and they've won 22 straight at home. They don't play a Wednesday game, meaning they'll come to Viejas Arena for their conference opener Saturday riding a seven-game win streak.
Last season: 13-17, 3-11 (tied seventh)
Coach: Leon Rice (third season).
Key players: G Derrick Marks (16.3 ppg), G Anthony Drmic (15.4 ppg), F Ryan Watkins (9.1 ppg, 7.2 rpg).
Best wins: at Creighton, LSU.
Worst loss: at Utah.
Outlook: Last season's freshmen getting major minutes are now sophomores, and the maturity is evident. Marks had a career-high 35 points in the win at Creighton, and Drmic had 34 against LSU. (Both are sophomores.) The Broncos have won six straight, including 105-49 against Corban and 106-39 against Walla Walla – each breaking the school record for margin of victory. The 12 nonconference wins are a school record as well. The conference opener should be interesting: at undefeated Wyoming.
Last season: 21-12, 6-8 (sixth)
Coach: Larry Shyatt (second season)
Key players: G Luke Martinez (14.5 ppg). F Leonard Washington (15.1 ppg, 8.8 rpg), F Larry Nance (11.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg).
Best wins: Colorado, at SMU.
Worst loss: None.
Outlook: Shyatt is getting mentions for national coach of the year, and the Cowboys moved into the USA Today coaches poll (No. 25) for the first time in 15 seasons. But how good are they? They've played nine home games, and the opposition has included Western State, North Carolina Central, Southern, and Oklahoma Panhandle State. The bench is short. And Martinez, their best perimeter threat, in out indefinitely after breaking the ring finger on his shooting hand in the dreaded "off-campus incident."

If you're looking for a liquid cod liver oil supplement that is unflavored and free of artificial ingredients' you might want to try Cod Liver Oil Liquid (All Natural) by Kirkman.
Cod liver oil could potentially work to maintain overall well-being in several ways. For example' it provides EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)' which are omega-3 fatty acids that may work to maintain optimal cardiovascular and cognitive function while also having a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
In addition' a half-teaspoon of Cod Liver Oil Liquid (All Natural) contains 2'500 IU (international units) of vitamin A and 250 IU of vitamin D. Notably' the natural form of vitamin A found in cod liver oil could potentially offer support for healthy vision.
Last' Kirkman tests the oil in every bottle of Cod Liver Oil Liquid (All Natural) to ensure freshness.
Depending on your serving size' an eight-ounce bottle of Kirkman's Cod Liver Oil (All Natural) should last for up to three months.

The Proper Scuba Dive Weighting
Posted by Chris White on Sat, Aug 09, 2014 @ 08:20 PM
The Proper Scuba Dive Weighting
Guidelines for Proper Weighting. We all know that most new divers tend to need a bit more weight than seasoned ones because Buoyancy Control takes several dives to master. Common types of weights include pouchstyle with lead pellets (left) or solid lead style.
Here is the best rule of thumb for weighting:
FRESH Water:
Swimsuit or DiveSkin- Begin with 1 to 4 pounds / 0.5/2kg
Thin 3mm wetsuits or Shorty- 5% of your Body Weight
Medium Thickness 5mm suits- 10% of your Body Weight
Cold Water 7mm with hood/gloves- 10% of your Body Weight plus 3-5 pounds / 1.5/3kg
Neoprene Drysuit- 10% of your Body Weight plus 7-10 pounds / 3-5kg
Shell Style Dry Suits w/o under garment – 10% of your Body Weight plus 3-5 pounds / 1.5/3kg
Shell Style Dry Suits w/ heavy under garment – 10% of your Body Weight plus 7-14 pounds / 3-7kg
The undergarments vary quite a bit as they can realy add allot surface area to you thus increasing the amount of weight needed to stay neutrally buoyant.
Salt Water Diving (add to above calculations for Fresh Water)
100 to 125 lb (45-56kg) add 4 pounds (2kg)
126 to 155 lb (57-70kg) add 5 pounds (2.3kg)
156 to 186 lb (71-85kg) add 6 pounds (3kg)
187 to 217 lb (86-99kg) add 7 pounds (3.2kg)
Always do a buoyancy check before beginning your dive and also factor in that if you are diving with an aluminum 80 tank you will need to add a little more to compesate for the tank toward the end of the dive. If you are diving with a steel tank the same holds true except you will need less weight. That is why it is so important to perform a neutral buoyancy check before beginning your dive.

Keels - Vendee Globe
I guess that these problems with the keels could be avoided in a great extent and the skippers of these boats share responsibility for not having more safer systems.
I have read recently that most of the NA that design these boats agree that it was better in what regards safety all boats sharing the same keel canting design. That way not only cost would come down as the information received from so many boats with lead to a rapid improvement in the system reliability.
I don't know if it is the sailors looking for an advantage, or the sponsors that lead to a non acceptance of this suggestion but the fact is that they are not taking a great advantage on this: Safran, the one that lost the keel had the most advanced one, made all of titanium and that did not prevent him to be one of the first to lose it
I guess that in this case the organization (and IMOCA), with the support of boat designers, should take measures to implement that, at least till a greater degree of reliability is achieved in the system design.
Regarding the race, has Jean says:
It is war time
I haven't slept much last night, I spent a lot of time at the helm with my spinnaker up and I'm sure Mike (editor's note: Golding) did the same. It's war time!!! I've just finished a sails change, I haven't had a minute of break. I've taken my t-shirt off, I'm so sweaty.

ancient Greek oblique font
From the middle of the 19th century an italic font with many calligraphic overtones was introduced into Greek printing. Its source is unknown, but it almost certainly was the product of a German or Italian foundry. In the first type specimen printed in Greece by the typecutter K. Miliadis (1850), the font was listed anonymously along others of 11pts and in the Gr. Doumas' undated specimen appeared as «11pt Greek inclined». For most of the second half of the century the type was used extensively as an italic for emphasis in words, sentences or exerpts. In 1889, the folio size Type Specimen of Anestis Konstantinidis' publishing, printing and type founding establishment also included the type as «Greek inclined [9 & 12 pt]».
Nevertheless, the excessively calligraphic style of the characters, combined with the steep and uncomfortable obliqueness of the capitals, was out of favour in the 20th century and the type did not survive the conformity of the mechanical type cutting and casting. The font has been digitally revived, as part of our typographic tradition, by George D. Matthiopoulos and is part of GFS' type library under the name GFS Solomos, in commemoration of the great Greek poet of the 19th century, Dionisios Solomos.

Can anybody offer reccomendations of hotels in the vicinity? How about bars?
Hmmm… hotels I'm not as familiar with, but I know that Dobbler had mentioned the possibility of putting folks up at his house to help them save costs. As for bars, we usually hit a little dive bar a couple blocks down called W.F. Cody's whenever we wrap up gaming on Saturdays. It's got the tastiest, greasiest burgers you'll find and our usual server is a blast. As well, Parlor 88 is on the nicer end of the spectrum and just a few blocks down the road going the other direction. That's where we went for New Year's Eve last year. Aside from that, there are quite a few around since it's a college town (and some really cool ones downtown) but you'd probably need one of the locals to tell you more about those. I commute.

It's not good news for historians. A new report shows 8-in-10 cabinet agencies are at significant risk of improperly destroying records. The National Archives and Records Administration found that of the almost 250 agencies polled, nearly 79 percent of agencies ran the risk of improperly destroying records. That risk was particularly high for e-mail management. The report says policies for managing records that are transferred or stored via e-mail are often either nonexistent or poorly communicated to employees. Laurence Brewer is the Director of the Life Cycle Management Division at NARA.

Ahh, the joy of traditions. Every Fashion Week, I collect my favorite street looks and share them with you guys. This year, my intentions are no less. Now, I wouldn't say I like street styles more than runway collections, but I do feel they give you a better idea of what's really hot next season in the more wearable department – if you know what I mean. So ready or not, here are my favorite New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 street styles!
NYFW offers quite a diverse range of styles this year. I've seen loads of all-denim, graphic black and white with mixed prints, and quite a few ethnic influences like large necklaces and long skirts with African prints. In short: I'm a fan of most of these trends, as long as people don't go all fashionista on them and combine them all in one look.
Lily Kwong in a magnificent Prabal Gurung ensemble with matching Sergio Rossi Shoes.
Aimee Song looking perfect as always in a mixed graphic look. Loving the red bag with this outfit!
Margaret Zhang looks amazing in a casual ripped jeans and oversized blue shirt – a look wonderfully complemented by the bright ethnic necklace.
I'm happy to see electric blue is still in the game. Deena Abdulaziz looks absolutely fabulous in it, too!
I adore Susie Lau in this Whistles dress and Meredith Wendell bag! She looks as if she's having lots of fun – and eventually, that's what it's all about!

Tomato Parmesan Cornbread Muffins
American Food June 30, 2011 Amanda Mouttaki 3
I find that in the summer it's so easy to find inspiration in the variety of fresh produce available. Just a quick walk through our local farmer's market and I've got dozens of recipe ideas churning in my head. I relish this weekly experience and look forward with anticipation each weekend to see what will be new. These early cherry tomatoes immediately caught my eye and while not as sweet as the later summer tomatoes, they worked well with these muffins. I think these make a great appetizer on their own with a little butter, or even as a breakfast muffin if you like something a little more savory.
- 1 c flour
- 3/4 c corn meal
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1c milk
- 1/4c melted butter
- cherry tomatoes sliced thinly
- grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400F. Mix all of the ingredients except the cherry tomatoes and cheese together. Grease a muffin pan (or use muffin liners) and fill 3/4 of the way with the muffin dough. Top each muffin with tomato slices and a sprinkle of parmesan. Bake for about 15 minutes until brown on top. Remove from pan and allow to cool.

Amanda amazing recipe! I just tried it with some fresh cherry tomatoes I picked from the garden. It made for a great appetizer, and is now a family favorite. Keep the great recipe's coming. Cheers, Jeffery

Crow Fine Arts Center. Johnson will speak about his journey through education, careers in criminal justice, and his 34–year career working with at-risk youth and juveniles. Mr. Johnson has spent a lifetime mentoring young people and is passionate about their success. "I don't care if I speak to 1 student or 200 students. If I can help just one understand the importance of a college education or how they can influence others my time will be well spent."

His distinguished career began in 1980 as a social worker at the Lawton Boy's Group Home. Since then he has held various leadership positions in his field, working with troubled youth at the Juvenile Services Unit in Lawton, the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center in Tecumseh, and the Office of Juvenile Affairs in Oklahoma City. Today he serves as the Executive Director of Juvenile Justice Residential Service at Community Works, LLC in Norman.
The WOSC Alumni Hall of Fame, established in 1996, recognizes and honors Altus Junior College and Western Oklahoma State College alumni who, through leadership, character and hard work, have made exceptional contributions in their field, in their community, and at WOSC.
