Jeffrey, Cooke lead Penguins over Flyers
That gave the Flyers some momentum going into the second intermission only to have Pittsburgh take it away early in the third period.
Jagr established himself as one of the greatest players in hockey history during his first 11 seasons in the NHL with the Penguins. He won an MVP award and two Stanley Cup titles before leaving Pittsburgh after the 2000-01 season.
Jagr showed off the skills that made him a nine-time All-Star with vintage goals from nearly the same spot in the left face-off circle. First, he took a pass from Danny Briere near the Flyers blue line, skated down the right side, stopped, and fired a shot past Fleury.
The next one came on the power play. Jagr held the puck, looked at Scott Hartnell in front of the next and ripped a top-shelf goal to make it 2-1.
Cooke picked up a loose puck in the Flyers' zone, skated down the left side, eluded Jagr's swipe from behind and fired a slap shot past Bryzgalov for a 1-0 lead 3:17 in.
Notes: Jagr now has 661 goals, seven shy of tying Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille for 10th on the all-time list. He had just one goal in his previous 16 games. ... Engelland flattened Giroux with a hard, clean check in the first period, drawing loud boos from the crowd. ... F James van Riemsdyk returned for Philadelphia after missing 15 games because of a concussion. ... Simmonds, who needed 25 stitches to his lower and upper lips after getting hit with a puck in warmups Thursday, wore a smaller face shield instead of the full protective mask he had on when he scored two goals against Buffalo. ... Jagr has 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points in 38 career games vs. the Penguins.

Thread: after being critiqued.....

after being critiqued.....
I have had lots of help from you guys recently and I feel like all the advise is starting to sink in a little bit.
this is a super basic layout I started.I tried to pull away from the characters standing still or being perfectly horizontal. I use the spear to split the piece with a diagonal line.The cape is helping the motion that the figure is coming down at the beast and I broke into 2 main sources of light cool and warm which I've been getting advise to do.
what do you guys think? any suggestions

I think that its great that you're taking critiques so seriously.
The best thing I would suggest doing for yourself at this point is to step away from your monitor and really take a look at this (and all of your pieces) from a distance. Does it read at 10 feet? 15 feet? A lot is getting lost in this from the amount of styles being used, as well as the bright colors at the same values.
I'm not sure what exactly is going on with the anti-aliasing on half of this? Try to stick with one style of coloring.
I'd suggest doing a bit of studying on color theory and look at some tutorials for photoshop that don't include use of the smudge tool.

It sounds like you've gotten some good advice, and we are thrilled to see that you're listening!
But its still important that you do the advice in the correct order. Sure, artists work differently and you'll have to find what's best for you, but I can't recommend starting a painting the way you have. You MUST do thumbs first! In 3 or 4 values ONLY.
No matter of colors(even perfect ones) or capes, or spears, will make this any better. Make small roughs with only 3 or 4 values and make interesting, overlapping shapes. Use rhythm and movement like you have been learning.
I did a little paintover. I added some humor but I don't mean to poke fun at you--just being silly.
Good luck!

I agree with TB, i would much rather see some little DRAWN out thumbs and then some colour comps afterwards. i think this image could be improved at the sketch phase.
How are you creating these, it looks like your taking 3d then using a mouse and a smudge brush?

April 25th, 2012 #6
this is just a layout lol
the tools and everything are pretty irrelevant
this is my thumb I work in around the default resolution of 300.000 dpi these are like 500 I think I like some of the advice I have got like the back ground I know needs a bit more,this was really just a color and composition mock-up
so is I want the beast to still look huge and the foreground figure to be big enough to keep interest which do I resize to break out or the same size figures? and is having to objects of equal size really bad composition? it seems perfectly fine to me...explain.
below I make my argument on the figures pose though cause I worked on it for a rather long time and found it was best executed this way..I think maybe the low resolution thumb is making it hard to see how hes arched and drawing back also his head is facing the target object which is a dead give away where that spear is going
April 25th, 2012 #7
April 25th, 2012 #8
fair enough. I would personally like to see you paint do it all 2d (or at least be able to before skipping the figure construction) as its a well worth skill to learn.
Can we see some of these thumbs?

Hi matey
I am just trying to help you out with the pose and the action of the spear thrower. I think that basically the gesture is off! the balance is wrong! and the twist in his body is wrong, just my opinion mind you.
Have a look at javelin throwers in the athletics arena now they are an extreme I know but the action is still similar.
They have an arm out to help guide the eye and aid balance and also a definate leading leg with an almost savage twist in the body that helps to generate the energy of the throw. Your guy seems to be falling down after taking a hit not getting a throw at a monster.
Ok to show you what I mean and give you a chuckle I did an very very fast sketch based loosely on yours to show you what I mean. I would also point out that the gesture is impostant here not the poor guys terrible anatomy flaws!!
I hope this helps you out but if not it may just give you a chuckle and prove that we are not all experts in here!! LOL
all the best mate

having two objects of the same size makes them seem the same size.
so exactly the opposite of what you said you want to achieve...?
look an how relative size and positon can enhance the hugh monster/tiny victim relationship...

I really did want that anti gravity look like maybe he's jumping off a high mountain or flying or whatever leaving that part up to the viewer I like the idea of floating like the Sistine chapel figures it's just art and left unexplained for fun I did a version that explains it by giving him wings I kind of like it but eh idk
and I also pulled really far back from the picture and thought the red/orange needed to be broken so I simply added another rock on the right I think it helped break that stuff up also I added 2 figures in the background to sort of give a scale to the monster and blurred the monster a little cause it looked too focused to be that far away

hey this is just some freestyle stuff without my 3D models
I think it's ok but not nearly what can be done with accurate models to pose for me...after taking the plunge I can't go back to this kind of thing.

In lightship's sketch... I'm assuming the dude just pulled back his arm, wouldn't the cape turn the other way? Or did I miss something important again?
@Zoe: Don't get too attached to your 3D models, using them too often as a crutch will greatly impair your progress in learning anatomy. Making quick thumbs with just silhouettes in black and white is a lot more beneficial to your progress (both lifelong artistic progress and individual paintings).
April 25th, 2012 #16
I have anatomy books and tons of photos to help me with "realism" if I get stumped on something..the models are for one thing..to make perfect form when I say "perfect form" I'm not even talking about physical human perfection I mean having a real 3D object in space soooo......like there is no room for error such as the size of a hand that is behind someone's back,if I was going to draw that freestyle it would be a guess as to how big it would be..ya see what I'm saying..a lot of artists don't draw people very well cause they make hands too big and heads too small..it doesn't look human and I notice it before anything else when I see a picture..I see a lot of people on here and their paintings are fantastic their colors and backgrounds even their composition is good but then they will take a crack at a human and the whole piece goes down in flames.Figures are my main discipline.
April 25th, 2012 #17
Hi EagleGrove
In answer to your point yes thats entirely possible!! the cape is a heavy waterproof fabric normally so it probably wouldnt fly around in the breeze but would certainly react to violent movements in unexpected ways, like whiping around and bunching and flaping.
all the best and I'm glad its got you thinking.
P.S. this is a general comment just to ask "would it really hurt you guys to click the little button on the bottom right of a post and say thanks once in a while?" people are trying to help and a little curtesy would go a long way, thank you.

zoe - mistakes are part of the process. yes lots of people fail to draw people because they don't pit in the effort. and knowing instead of guessing will insure what you put down is correct, or to a point where it looks convincing. i personally love painting and drawing people and when i was younger all's i ever drew where superheros and monsters and stuff. no one can force you to learn how to draw people but like Eaglegrove said it will become a crutch and will bite you in the arse. try just working on your figure drawing in your spare time.

3D software can be great for working out tricky issues of perspective and foreshortening, but right now you're just uncritically painting over whatever Poser gives you. Garbage in, garbage out.

Whether or not you're using the correct material isn't the problem--- it's how well you're translating the reference or model.
I understand that you're using a model to paint over but that doesn't make it right in the 2D world. Especially if you're using a 3D program like Maya or Zbrush--- these programs fake perspective. Not that you have to sit down with a grid and figure it out perfectly. What you need to do is realize that "If it doesn't look right--- it isn't."
A client isn't going to care about your models and reference and perspective grid (not that a client is what this is for, just an example.) If the faked or real perspective doesn't translate to the viewer it doesn't matter. It's the finished product that matters and right now it isn't working.
Take into consideration what these people are saying. In regards to Kendall's comment--- I agree, and I think that the size you're trying to capture would work far better if you moved some things around.
On the 3D note, if you['re going to paint over something--- be sure to paint over the whole thing. If you miss chunks it just looks unfinished.

I totally agree with Coyox. As a 2D artist your best friend are your own eyes and your perception. You should allow them to guide you instead of software. if you want to do that then just create it all in 3d and then create a nice render.
Also as i've mentioned before... the smudge brush. It looks as if you've abused it here. if you want to use it you've got to make it make sense for the material your trying to render. lava maybe... rocks...possible but not worth the hassle.

I'm so confused about this "fake perspective" thing...what are you talking about?
and again daz is just a basic form,the screen cap is clearly a spider-man pose so dynamic is what I was shooting for.They always pose him as crazy as they can so by comparison even mine is kinda timid.
and any pose that a human can make daz can make and that's all I need to get started.A lot of artists use those little wood doll things haha I think daz is a lot better than that.I could obviously pose and simply trace myself but I don't want to do it that way..you guys are falling to hard on rules..there are no rules in art there is no set way to draw anything.I just wanted to see what you guys thought about the color and composition of this..and not really on it's own but by comparison to my old stuff is this a better use of color and less stiff than my other work?
if there's times I seem defensive it's when something obviously doesn't apply like the spear being thrown off screen that's just saying something to say it..and not paying attention to what's even being shown.
or the drawing of the guy throwing the spear on the ground when my figure is in a free fall -doesn't apply- that's simply trying to tell me how to draw something when there is no law..I think my pose looks a lot more dynamic and artistic than just pulling back to launch a spear on foot..if it were a movie it would definitely be a "matrix" moment or the oracle from 300 in the trance

"I was kinda lost at the relevance......what are you talking about?..not paying attention to what's even being shown.doesn't apply-"
ha ha well fair enough bud. If you cant tell the difference or see anything worth learning there then you have bigger problems than poorly composed images.
put it this way, those images are awesome, and you can always learn a lot from awesome work.
we're just a sample of randoms. you can be assured if we think stuff about your image, others will be too. we're trying to help you. its no skin of our noses if you decide to ignore our advice.
im telling you now and im telling you straight, the daz figures look like corpses being jiggled around. its not working.
these are from sfrancian's and might help.
Look at the difference between your image, and something by Craig Mullins.
Look at his lighting, and compostiion, and rendering. its masterful.

I think we answered your questions Zoe--no, we do not like your image. We made the mistake of elaborating for you.
We have mentioned thumbnails 3 or 4 times, and I haven't heard you say anything about it, Zoe. Are you willing to take steps to make good art or not?

see Velocity that is exactly the kind of painting I would have made before I was getting my work critiqued. it's dark...the main character is way too small he's perfectly vertical and takes up as much space as the monster...I have so far been told to rid my work of black use more color and duel light sources I have never even painted something this before with that much color and motion so that is what makes this so different.Also as far as "theme" goes your pic is portraying a much different story.The hero is going into like the gates of hell to find and slay the beast where my picture is the beast is coming out from the ground and destroying the land.."the hero is coming to the rescue" is my main theme.I also get no sense of matrix anti gravity from yours just looks like a dude standing there ready to cast a spear at a beast...
and artfix...do you like anyone's work?

No 'Hawaiian Punch guy' in NFL for RG3, Redskins
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Santana Moss reached way back into the pop culture playbook to explain why Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins are having trouble completing the long ball.
"It's like the Hawaiian Punch guy," the veteran receiver said Wednesday. "'You want a Hawaiian Punch?' 'Sure.' He got punched in the face. That little commercial was funny. My coaches always said in high school, 'We're not going to be the Hawaiian Punch guy.'"
That 20-second cartoon aired decades ago, but Moss said the moral of the story remains relevant: If you don't learn from your mistakes, you're going to repeat them and end up looking silly. Because NFL defenses don't want to look silly, they're not letting Griffin do many of the things he did so well last year, such as hitting open receivers deep downfield after a fake handoff in the read-option.
The numbers back that up. In passes that travel 21-plus yards through the air, Griffin is 5 for 24 with two touchdowns and three interceptions for a 43.1 rating. Last year he was one of the best when he let it fly: 15 for 39 with seven touchdowns and one interception for a 115.1 rating.
"Robert was new to the league," Moss said, "and lot of things that he did wowed people because they didn't know what the hell was going on. They didn't know if he was going to tuck it, if he was going to run it, they didn't know. Defenses would sit back and say, 'Hey, we got to find a way to prevent him from doing that.' When he's on doing that, then everything's wide open because you don't know what to stop. But when he's not, then we have to be a little more creative and say 'Hey, let's find a way to beat them without running Robert and doing the things that we did last year.'"
Still, it's somewhat perplexing that the Redskins' passing game has struggled so much, given that they have the same pieces from last year — and then some. Receivers Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan and running back Roy Helu are healthier, and rookie Jordan Reed looks like a star in the making.
Instead, the record is 2-5 headed into this week's game against the San Diego Chargers, and players are doing their best to keep the frustration from boiling over. Garcon proclaimed in training camp that the Redskins offense could be the best of all time; now he says the passing game stinks.
"Defenses have adjusted to us," he said.
Morgan's offensive role has decreased. He had only 19 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and says he no longer splits first-team offensive snaps with Leonard Hankerson in practice.
"Nobody's happy when you get a reduced role," Morgan said. "You just go out there and whatever the coaches ask you to do, you just do it."
Morgan's spot duty is part of coach Mike Shanahan's elusive pursuit of a reliable starting wideout to complement Garcon.

Labor, management at odds on 'card check' unionizing
In 1994, the American public had a front-row seat for labor/management acrimony at its most absurd.
The long-strained relationship between prosperous Major League Baseball (read: team owners) and the wealthy members of the players union crested with the cancellation of the World Series.
Bill Gould was at the beginning of his term as chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. And what he witnessed then in the arena of pro sports, he says, looks more than a little like what he sees in the country's current debate over the so-called Employee Free Choice Act.
Big labor and big management are equally entrenched in their positions for and against the measure, which got plenty of air time during last fall's presidential election.
"There's an awful lot of rhetoric and propaganda from both sides," said Gould, now an emeritus professor of law at Stanford Law School, and who served as the NLRB chairman through 1998.
There is also more at stake than a World Series trophy.
Proponents of the legislation, which has passed the House but has an uncertain future in the Senate, argue the bill is necessary for everything from economic recovery to protecting workers from coercive employer intimidation as workers attempt to organize into certified unions.
Opponents say the bill actually puts jobs at risk and almost eliminates secret ballot elections; the proposed "card check" system only requires a simple majority of signed cards in favor of unionization for a union to become recognized.
Gould prefers a longer and broader view of the issue. He says the National Labor Reform Act, initially adopted in 1935 as the Wagner Act, "has long been badly in need of reform to allow workers to select bargaining representatives and to negotiate collectively with employers, if they choose to do so.
"There are many reasons for labor's decline," Gould added, and it's down to 12.1 percent nationally, 7.3 percent in the private sector. "The law just happens to be one, and it's a subordinate factor."
Arnold Perl, a partner in the law firm Ford & Harrison, calls the Employee Free Choice Act "badly misnamed and highly deceptive," adding, "it's nothing more than a stimulus package for big labor. If you get a simple majority (with card check), presto! A union's in."
Perl believes if the legislation was to pass in its current form, which also includes mediation after 90 days of unsuccessful bargaining on a first contract, and a move to binding arbitration 30 days later, it could have harmful consequences for the Memphis marketplace.
"All different sectors of the economy will be targeted for unionization" Perl predicted. "Not just manufacturing or service, but any collection of people at any organization will be targeted.
"Nothing will be off-limits. You could see (unionization efforts at) McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, tellers at banks, to small businesses."
It is precisely this scenario of wider-spread union organizing that EFCA backers say is needed.
Mary Beth Maxwell, executive director at American Rights to Work, wrote in a letter to the editor of The New York Times: "If we truly want to rebuild our economy, we must make it easier for workers to join unions and bargain, not borrow, their way into the middle class."
Conversely, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched a television ad campaign in several states to oppose the legislation, specifically the "card check" system.
Harry C. Alford, president/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, recently said lawmakers need to "understand that EFCA will hurt our workers and our ability to grow and create jobs."
Backers of EFCA often argue that employers intentionally use delay tactics and do not bargain in good faith. Gould tends to agree, saying, "The system is broken because of delays, and justice delayed is justice denied."
But he opposes card check.
"In essence," he said, "the bill wants to substitute for employer intimidation with a union's peer pressure to sign cards."
Deborah Godwin, a partner in Godwin, Morris, Laurenzi & Bloomfield, a Memphis law firm that represents labor unions, said secret ballots could still be part of the unionization process and that under current law, where organizers must get signed cards from 30 percent of the work force to move ahead with an election, secrecy is compromised on the front end.
"Employers know who supporters of the union are," she said, adding, "with the economic downturn and layoffs, we get calls every day from people who say they were laid off in an unfair manner.
"We ask them, 'do you have a union? Do you have a contract?' They say, 'well, no.'"
Gould says there is also a history of delays coming because of the action -- or inaction -- of the NLRB itself.
"Cases go into a black hole because something in the case is sensitive to a particular board member and his or her chance for reappointment," Gould said.
Still, Gould said, "There are portions of the Employee Free Choice Act that make sense, such as increasing fines and damages for violations of the law by employers in organizing situations."
Gould also favors allowing unions access to company property for five to 10 days campaigning as part of "expedited elections."
He has trouble with what amounts to "automatic arbitration" if a contract is not reached after 90 days.
So does Godwin.
"This could be a point for compromise," she said, and compromise somewhere seems likely if the bill is to advance in the Senate. "I could live with six months. A year would be too much."
Ultimately, Gould wonders if either management or labor will triumph.
"A lot of these company lawyers fighting this thing are rubbing their hands gleefully," he said, "because if this thing goes through, there's going to be a lot of litigation."

Probably the Best Heavy Metal Drum Performance Ever Played … On an iPad
That is some highly impressive finger banging.
That is some highly impressive finger banging.
This is amazing! Watch as this kid plays a washing machine like a drum set. The sound is incredible, almost like a complete drum line all by himself! The kid's got some talent that's for sure.
This is truly mind-blowing. A professor at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, who has built robotic musicians in the past, has created a piece of technology that can allow an amputee to play drums. In fact, the inventor himself claims that "the drummer essentially becomes a cyborg."
Meet the coolest grandma around.
Musical education is an important part of become a well-rounded man. See how well-rounded this man is?
Motley Crue shows are made even more entertaining by the antics of drummer Tommy Lee. For many male fans, tops on the list is the portion of the show where Lee encourages ladies to show a certain part of their anatomy on camera. Right behind that is Lee's roller coaster drum solo. However, that drum design is now part of a lawsuit.
For the most part drummers have the short end of the stick when it comes to equal, or even partial stage presence. Sure there's several drummers who've managed to get center stage both in their professional and personal lives, but those cases are few and far between.
Motley Crue launched their North American tour with Poison and the New York Dolls on Tuesday night (June 7) in Dallas, and the highlight of the night just may have been Tommy Lee's ridiculous roller-coaster drum solo.

HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. (KTHV) - According to a spokesperson at the Arkansas Department of Health, Sandy Beach at Heber Springs is reopen after initially saying that it was not reopen Saturday morning.
Mayor Jackie McPherson madean announcement Friday that the beach will reopen just in time for Father's Day weekend,but Ed Barham with the Arkansas Department of Health said Saturday morning that the beach was not reopen. After speaking with the Director of the Department of Health they have confirmed that they gave the Mayor approvaltoreopen the beach on Friday.
The beach was shut down earlier in the week after testing revealed unsafe levels of E.Coli. This came after storms brought high water to the area. Geese and other wildlife also can contribute to high levels.
Test results that came back on Thursday revealed that there were high levels of E.Coli in the water and that it was unsafe for swimming. Results from samples that were taken on Friday won't be back until next week.

It is a pretty easy transition from the Extreme to the 320, IMO.
And, I agree. I think the 320 has an excellent feel. I just like the 315 better. I don't find the 315 and 320 to be drastically different in terms of performance. The 320 is probably a little better pure baselining racquet, but the 315 is superior in every other aspect for me...serves, volleys, feel, etc. Again, the differences aren't drastic - the 315 is still an excellent baseline racquet. The 320 is a little spinnier, but you can generate spin with the 315. It primarily came down to the plush feel of the 315 for me.
I can play with either racquet and transition between them with relative ease.

"This card is adorable ! Great fun design for a boy . Because of the design style printing on signature matte worked out great! I would definitely recommend this card. I will be ordering the matching thank you cards . The only issue I had was trying to fit the amount of text in each box ."
"I had to personalize this invitation to add the hostesses names to the back of the invite and it couldn't have been easier. The Tiny Prints team was quick to make this edit and revision that I needed and I received my package on time."
"Loved the invitation! Beautiful, better than I expected, colors & text were great and the weight of the paper was perfect! I would highly recommend this product!"
"This invitation was perfect for our shower since we weren't allowed to reveal the gender of the baby. My fellow party planners and I loved the whimsical look and all the hearts--they serve as a perfect reminder of all the love that went into preparing for this baby and all the love that will go into raising this baby. We also like the different fonts used to communicate information and the large heart used to indicate the date of the shower. If there's one flaw with this design, it's that the font on the very last line stating where the mom is registered is too small. My eyes are pretty good, but I still have to squint!"
"Everyone was so impressed with the quality of these invitations! The weight of the paper was perfect! I even wrote a cute little poem on the back of the invitation and used the stripes as my guideline to keep straight lines! I was only slightly disappointed with the quality of the gray background. It wasn't as dark and solid as I was hoping it was going to be. But they were great invitations! I was very pleased with them! The cost was great and were much better than something I would have bought from a local card store!"

An eye for an eye policy has driven both India and Pakistan crazy. These two bitter and hostile neighbours find it easier to catapult their way from one crisis to another than negotiate lasting peace in a rational and sane manner. The prisoners saga, egged on by hysterical anchors and TRP-driven news channels, is perhaps the most telling example of the dangers inherent in this 'tit for tat' approach where it dramatically transcends the 'no visas for us so no visas for you' approach to outright murder where blood is drawn to appease nationalist sentiments and teach the other a lesson.
The Pakistan authorities were, or should have been, aware of the threats to Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh's life and given the circumstances should have taken special measures to protect him from harm. Clearly nothing was done and India was perhaps not wrong in insisting that the attack on him by fellow inmates was instigated. He was left in a comatose stage and eventually died without seeing his family who he had yearned to meet for 23 long years.
India of course, took the high moral ground and there was a great deal of talk on television discussion shows about democracy, the rule of law, with comparisons being freely drawn between the two countries. All fell strangely silent when a Pakistani prisoner in Indian jails Sanaullah Khan was attacked in a similar manner, again supposedly by fellow prisoners, and is currently lying in hospital in a coma with little chance of recovery.
Sarabjit, as a section of the print media has reported, was an intelligence operative and as is the normal practice his arrest in Pakistan was virtually ignored by his handlers here. For 23 odd years he was in Pakistani jails, like many other Indian prisoners, ignored and forgotten, except, of course, by his grieving family. Their pleas fell on deaf ears and while there was some movement recently for his release, the Indian authorities played a lukewarm hand on this front.
He sprang into the limelight after the terrible attack on him with television news anchors running the story like no other. In fact all other news was overtaken by Sarabjit, as news channels virtually waged war against Pakistan, aided and supported by right-wing analysts and pro-war worthies of the so called strategic establishment. Within minutes reason fled, and was overtaken by emotion, sentiment, hype all being projected as 'nationalism' as anchors urged nuclear India to take retaliatory action against its nuclear neighbour.
New Delhi instead of walking a sober path (as it did really in the recent confrontation with China) moved into the emotional juggernaut, issued veiled threats and after Sarabjit's death declared the former RAW recruit a national hero and arranged for a state funeral in what was a totally unprecedented move.
Within days, Sanaullah was attacked in an Indian prison, sustained similar head injuries and is currently in a critical condition. He is unlikely to survive the attack and perhaps the only question that remains to be answered is whether Pakistan too will accord him a state funeral. The ghastly attacks might have given additional advertisements to the money-crazy television channels, but they have left large sections of society on both sides of the border aghast.
This silent majority, heard more on the social media than in the mainstream media that has no place for peace and sanity, is now asserting itself in asking where these policies of hate will take both the nuclear armed countries, what cause will these serve, what interests will they fuel.
Perhaps the last is easier to answer, as clearly vested interests of various kinds including right-wing political groups have developed stakes in animosity and conflict, and are reluctant to allow peace to prevail between India and Pakistan. And thus, in their effort to bloody the other's nose have crossed all limits where human beings have become fodder for sinister games and machinations on both sides. The attack on the two prisoners, leading to the death of one and possibly the other, is a manifestation of a new turn in India Pakistan relations, for the worse of course where human life is discarded as dirt if it belongs to the 'other.'
Civil rights and peace groups in both India and Pakistan have been asking the two governments to formulate a prisoners policy that looks compassionately at the hundreds of poor fishermen and shepherds who crossed the invisible borders by mistake and are now rotting in the 'other's' prisons. Suggestions of setting up a joint mechanism under eminent persons and human rights experts to oversee quick review and trials of the prisoners have been ignored by both the governments who do share a commonality when it comes to ignoring those committed to peace and progress.
The media, of course, is not interested as these hard recommendations are not as 'sexy' as blood and gore, with the result that there is little to no pressure on the rigid governments to usher in a policy that allows innocent prisoners of the other country to go free in record time. In the 24 hour reporting and discussions on the Sarabjit case not a single journalist or his or her guest on the channel suggested the need for a joint mechanism to usher in reforms and some relief for those (many totally innocent) serving time in hostile prisons, fearful of their every hour.
Somewhere, along the way, the governments of India and Pakistan have erected even more barriers as the prisoners saga has demonstrated, to a point where the voices of reason urging peace and rational action are actually dubbed anti-national. Nationalism has become a mix of this strange jingoistic desire for violence, and a rah rah flexing of muscles designed to destroy, certainly not build. Perhaps in this case Albert Camus has the last word when he said, "we used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives — inside ourselves."

They do exist: the little miracles that originate in the meeting of committed, dedicated individuals, creative artists, and an idea that inspires enthusiasm.

Rosenthal Lays Off Lithuania
Anti-Semitism envoy accused of obfuscating Holocaust obfuscation
A report Saturday accused Hannah Rosenthal, the U.S. Anti-Semitism Envoy, of failing to admonish LithuaniaŌĆÖs official policy (which Dovid Katz examined today in Tablet Magazine) of equating the Nazi and Soviet occupations of the country.
According to Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal CenterŌĆÖs ŌĆ£chief Nazi-hunterŌĆØ (!!!), Rosenthal praised Lithuania during a visit to the capital city of Vilnius last week for having ŌĆ£taken very proactive steps in dealing with anti-Semitism.ŌĆØ However, she reportedly did not speak about rising neo-Nazism in the Baltic republic, nor the stateŌĆÖs all-but-official doctrine of viewing the two occupations of itself as morally equivalent while glossing over the experience of Lithuanian Jews.
ŌĆ£What better occasion than RosenthalŌĆÖs visit to Vilnius,ŌĆØ Zuroff asks,
to finally make clear that there should be no tolerance for false historical symmetries between Nazism and communism, and that the time had come for Vilnius to teach the truth and internalize its lessons.
Instead of donating funds to a government which is the chief culprit in a campaign of disinformation, the Americans should be demanding that pupils in Lithuanian schools finally be taught the whole truth about their history during World War II, as difficult and as painful as that may be.

Beef tendon is a good thing
posted 6 years ago
Having eaten beef tendon myself once at an Asian dinner, I can say it has an unusual consistency and texture. Maybe not for humans, but certainly great for dogs. And it is natural, not a chemical to clean the teeth !
My dogs love them.
Pros: chewy
Cons: none
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Did you?
They love them!
posted 6 years ago
My girls love these. I think they're a lot better for them than plain rawhide, as the tendon is more digestible. I have big dogs, so they go through them in around 30 minutes, but they get a good teeth cleaning in the process and they don't make a mess on the carpet.
Pros: Clean teeth, last long time.
Cons: Have a slight odor.

To me they were always one of those maybe couples who for some reason, I didn't WANT to know the inner intimacies/details of whatever/not potential relationship they might have.
I loved them as performers, they did the country proud and they were so wonderful and entertaining to watch when they were being professional, on ice, doing their thing.
But the rest, a bit like the Krankies, I could well do without knowing tbh. Not comparing them directly to them. Just imo that same weird vibe where it was either too intense or seemed control issues?

Change of address leads to arrestPublished 9:09pm Monday, September 23, 2013
When a registered sex offender fails to notify authorities of a change of address, it likely leads to an arrest.
That's what happened to one Chocowinity man on Sept. 9, according to a press release by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
Investigator Scott Williams applied for and obtained a warrant charging Meynardie, 39, of East Barr Road, with one count of failure to report address change by sex offender. Meynardie was released on a $15,000 unsecured bond.

Fleet PvP Territory Control Idea
Basically I was checking out Perfect World when I looked at the map it showed regions of the world controlled by player factions.
Perfect World Player Factions
Now would something like that work here, each fleet has a chance to "own" a sector which another fleet can "arrange" to attack at a certain time, should the attacking fleet win the territory falls under their control, should they lose it remains to the defending fleet.
STO Territorial Map (forgive my poor paint skills)
Pelia Sector
Cardassian Sector
Vulcan Sector
Value = Owning a certain area grants special fleet projects / unlocks
Level (lvl) = The Tier requirement for owning a certain area of space (aka Undine 5, Borg 4, Cardassian/Deferi 3, Romulan 2, KDF/Fed 1)
Held by = Whomever hold the sector block
Perfect world uses colors to represent what factions own whats, maybe the fleet symbol could work here?
Challenging a fleet for control of X sector
Now im not sure how it works in Perfect World (game) but im told the attackers can select a time they wish to attack which is long enough for the both fleets to prepare.
At X time both fleets enter an arena choosen by the attacker (space or ground) they then duke it out until one fleet emerges the victor.
Maybe give each sector its own reward, with the additon of Fleet Marks.
Controlling the Bajor Sector gives your fleet Bajoran Bonuses (Doffs/Boffs)
Controlling the Pelia Sector may give your fleet a bonus when fighting the Undine, or maybe the Hylasa/Gek'li decide to hover around your starbase
How can Cryptic Raid our wallets
You can make some project that unlocks a token or w/e so we can attack X block
Do X project while on control of Y system so we're forced to control X block for whatever time to get the goodies from the project unlock.
Anyway.. discuss... hate.. like.. rage cos you're a pver in the pvp thread?

Television and theatre actor Ashok Lokhande is busy reading literature on the late Deputy Prime Minister Yashwantrao Balwantrao Chavan these days as he is portraying him in an upcoming Marathi biopic. The fact that he is from Maharashtra and, more importantly, bears a strong resemblance to the Maharashtrian politician and activist worked in favour of Ashok in bagging the role.
"Y. B. Chavan was not only Maharashtra Chief Minister but also former Deputy Prime Minister of the country. He held a number of posts and was one of the tallest leaders of our State. He had a dream for the country and did creditable social work for which he is still remembered. He advocated socialism and was a crusader for the rights of the downtrodden. Even though I was familiar with his work and knew his large heartedness and visionary political personality, I am going through every piece of literature I can possibly lay my hands on," says the actor.
The film will highlight Chavan's political innings while primarily concentrating on his social work.
Ashok had to shave his head in order to look exactly like the bald-pated Y.B. Chavan. To show his resemblance to the late leader, he even showed his screen image on his mobile. "I have always been fascinated by biographical films like British film-maker's Richard Attenborough's Gandhi in which Ben Kingsley demonstrated that he could match Bapu in looks and behaviour even though he lived all his life in the United Kingdom."
For Ashok, working in Bollywood and soap operas comes naturally as he studied for three years at Delhi's National School of Drama where he polished his acting and Hindi-speaking skills. Ashok's first serial, Mrignaynee, was directed by Amol Palekar. "The common link between us was the doyen of Indian theatre movement, Satyadev Dubey. He was my teacher during my NSD days and also worked with Amol Palekar."
Serials are his priority because they help him live comfortably in an expensive city like Mumbai. "For actors based in Mumbai it is necessary to work in one or two serials because we have to maintain our standard of living."
Even though his serial Diya Aur Baati Hum on Star Plus has got stretched, Ashok justifies this on the ground that television viewers still watch it with interest. "It is essentially about my daughter-in-law Sandhya's struggle, who seeks to break the boundaries of middle-class values. My son, Sooraj, runs a sweet shop and recently won a cooking competition in Singapore," he says, while narrating the recent developments in the serial.
