And one more.
Well, I realized that my thread has not been updated in far too long. Been busy. I was on the 4R7 beta testing team, had a blast figuring out the new toys.
More to...
Man, I got to tell you, you are among the best on the forum. The first thing is, you are highly skilled. So skilled that you feel free to share your wisdom. Not behind a pay wall (not that there is...
I always get such a kick looking at your art. Love this!
Stunning work. Masterful. Top row for me!
Are the fibers in preview mode or have they been accepted and are a subtool. If they are a subtool, then re apply the texture in the traditional texture map menu.
Thank you, glad to help. That fuzzy edge is easily removed by turning on both the Transparent and Antialiased buttons in the Texture map menu, right under the texture preview window.
WOW!!!! Great piece! I really like it. Would make a nice model kit.
I know you are suffering Dino let down, and the amount of work you churned out on this project was insane, but I will add my voice to the chorus once more. You rule, my friend. Being able...
Ah, perfect as usual, my friend. Love the Stegosaurus. Do you have some model shots laying about?
Great work. I can't wait for more!
Beautiful job!
A rogues gallery is a group of criminals or bad guys. It is an old American saying. I was just encouraging you to do the whole cast of the show. You certainly have the talent to do it!
Great concept! The likeness is good, but I think her skin is a bit smooth. The actress has a bit rougher complexion which could enhance your render. Unless you are going for an airbrushed look, so...
I Just want to respond to the whole "make Human" thing...Ok, so you decide to start a figure with Make Human, or an existing base mesh of some sort. Then what? Do you say,"yeah, I'm done with that...
A stunning masterpiece! Among the top five works I have seen here. More breakdowns please.
Excellent all the way around. Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, not all of the meshes are water tight. The easiest way to close the holes is in Zbrush. Go to Geometry/Modify Topology/Close holes. Sometimes this can give you a really bad result, depending on...
Just watch anything with Joseph Drust's name attached to it.;)
Wow just wow! I'm pretty new to Zbrush and I would love to know your workflow for modelling all the separate parts such as the rope and the eyes and teeth etc. May be a tutorial...
Very iconic style. Well deserved top row.
I just showed this to my 27 year old daughter...with a clown phobia. She fled screaming. I think she threw up in her mouth a little. You win!
About time. Well deserved. You are an awesome sculptor.

EU Sues Britain For Allowing Certain Online Ad Practices
The European Commission has launched a lawsuit against Britain for failure to protect the privacy of its citizens particularly in relation to an Internet advertising tracker known as Phorm.
Since its conception, Phorm has driven controversy. By teaming up with ISPs in the UK including Virgin Media, TalkTalk and BT, along with advertisers from other agencies, Phorm monitors the online surfing habits of users in order to "make online advertising more relevant."
As with other online advertisers, Phorm uses cookies to target ads to consumers.
The European Commission noted a large number of complaints about BT Group, which began testing Phorm's services in 2006 and 2007, although the public was not made aware of the trial.
In 2008, BT launched a new set of trials in which customers were given the ability to opt in or out. But these invitation-based trials also resulted in several complaints, the Commission said.
"Such a technology in the view of the European Commission and European data protection law can only be used with the prior consent of the user," said EU spokesman Martin Selmayr.
The European Commission issued a letter to the British government on Tuesday, stating that it must explain or modify the way it currently interprets EU rules in order to allow interception.
Britain has two months to respond to the letter, according to a spokesman from the Commission.
"Technologies like Internet behavioral advertising can be useful for businesses and consumers but they must be used in a way that complies with EU rules," said EU Telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding.
"We have been following the Phorm case for some time and have concluded that there are problems in the way the UK has implemented parts of the EU rules on the confidentiality of communications," she added.
The European Union noted that interception is warranted only when the ISP has reasonable grounds to believe consent had been given.
"The Commission is also concerned that the UK does not have an independent national supervisory authority dealing with such interceptions," the Commission said.
"It is pleasing to see the EC is taking this issue more seriously than UK government departments here," said Nicholas Bohm, general counsel for the Foundation for Information Policy Research.
"It will in effect apply pressure to the information commissioner and the Home Office and maybe even the Crown Prosecution Service in its contemplation of the illegality of the BT trials," Bohm told BBC News.
Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group said: "There are big legal questions surrounding BT's use of Phorm, so we welcome the EU taking the government to task.
"BT should respect everyone's privacy and drop their plans to snoop on the Internet before they damage their own reputation further. Websites should protect their users and block Phorm now."

A very nice dish. Yes, add some garlic and onion. I also added a cup of sliced fresh mushrooms. Very good comfort food.
I made this exactly as written and I would make it again. I had 2 servings and I don't even feel fat. :) I can see how the sauce could be considered bland but with the addtion of the lemon & zest at the end, that really created the flavor punch that would otherwise have been missing. I also used a large sized zester so there were pretty big pieces of the lemon zest. So good.
After reading a few comments I found helpful, I would agree that adding taste made this dish. Me - it was the wine, garlic, and shallot. Don't skimp on the dill, either. It rounds it out just right. Squeezed some lemon on the salmon after cooking as well. Also grated fresh asiago over dishes before serving - boom! A keeper this one is!
I agree with some of the other reviewers. This recipe was a tad boring and bland. And this is after I took the suggestion of using onions garlic and white wine. I think I will try it next time with a different type of cheese that has more flavor. This recipe is almost there..it just needs a little punch.
The four-star review is only because I dutifully followed other reviewers' advice: sautéed two small onions and two cloves of garlic in olive oil. Deglazed pan with 1/4 cup white wine. Substituted fresh dill for 1 t. dried. Used whole wheat farfallle. Spectacular! Can't wait to enjoy leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Couldn't agree more with AlaModeGurl below. I was looking for a simple kids friendly dish and it was just flavorless.
This was really good. I could not find this type of cheese anywhere so I used low fat cream cheese. It was really tasty.
made a number of changes based on previous reviews: 1 onion chopped, 2 cloves garlic chopped, 1t dried dill, deglaze with white wine 1/4-3/4 cup 1T flour and about 1 1/2 milk use smoked salmon kept amount of cheese and lemon the same. also used 1t salt and pepper to taste
The dish looked way better than it tasted. Extremely bland, not much flavor to it. The concept is a good one, but there are some ingredients missing. I would modify this significantly before attempting again. Add sautéed onions and garlic and others have suggested. Season the salmon with a balsamic vinaigrette perhaps before baking. Could probably skip the tedious steps of creating sauce from scratch and just use Alfredo sauce instead, will likely have more flavor.
Bland! I hoped this would be simple in a.comfort food way but instead it had no depth of flavor and I had to heavily salt it to be bearable. I won't make it again.

A Maoist Sisu Mallik (35) surrendered before Kandhamal Superintendent of Police (SP) Jayanarayan Pankaj on Tuesday.
According to Mr. Pankaj, the surrendered Maoist was a close associate of Sabyasachi Panda, who has now formed Odisha Maoist Party (OMP) after his expulsion from CPI (Maoist) organisation.
Sisu served as the link between Sabysachi and Nachika Linga, the head of controversial tribal organisation Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) of Narayanpatna block in Koraput district.
Sabyasachi was using Sisu to be in regular touch with Nachika Linga.
It may be noted that as per the police records Nachika was a Maoist commander who was wanted by the police of both Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. It was suspected that after formation of OMP, Sabyasachi wanted to get support of CMAS and its leader for his new outfit.
According to Sisu he was planning to surrender since past two months. Several cadres in the Sabysachi's outfit OMP were also planning to surrender and lead normal life.
According to him now there were only 16 to 17 persons in Sabysachi's group. Sisu's surrender and plans of others to surrender hinted at diminishing clout and fear of Sabysachi. Earlier cadres of Sabysachi group did not dare to surrender due to fear of violent retaliatory action by the Leftist miscreants group.
Although Sisu has not confessed about his involvement in cases of violence yet investigation was on to find out his involvements, said the SP. Sisu hailed from Hatimunda village under Brahmanigaon police station limits of Kandhamal district.
Around four years ago he had joined the Maoists through Krishna who headed the Ghumusar division of Maoists while Sabyasachi was at that time the secretary of the Odisha State Organising Committee (OSOC) of outlawed CPI (Maoist) organisation.
Sisu had also undergone two months training in Maoist guerrilla warfare inside Bahabanga forest near Kandhamal-Ganjam district border. He used to spend time both in the Maoist camp as well as outside.
He had good knowledge of medicine and could administer intravenous fluids and injections. So, at times he was used to treat patients in Sabysachi's camp.
While outside, apart from being link of Sabysachi with other Maoists and Maoist sympathisers he also was the scrutiniser for persons wanting to meet Sabyasachi. he persons wanting to meet Sabyasachi had to contact him and they were allowed to meet the extremist leader only after thorough screening by Sisu.
Sisu served as the link between Sabysachi and Nachika Linga, the head of controversial tribal organisation CMAS

For consumers, there seems to be no respite from rising prices despite this being an election season.
Thanks to higher input costs and increased operational expenses, prices of automobiles and several other consumer products such as soaps, detergents and hair oil have begun inching up though sales are falling due to slowdown.
Car companies including Hyundai Motor, Honda Cars, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Renault India are raising prices from April 1, while others are contemplating such a move.
Sources said the increase, second this year, could be in the range of 2-3%.
Nikunj Sanghi, dealer of M&M and Hero MotoCorp, said, "There will be a major impact on demand if the prices increase by 2-3% because the excise benefits passed on to the consumers last month will be wiped off."
Last month most automakers had announced a 4-6% reduction in prices after the government cut excise duty on cars and utility vehicles to stimulate demand.
Rakesh Srivastava, senior vice-president, Hyundai Motor India, said, "Higher input costs due to high exchange rates, increase in freight charges on account of high fuel prices and unplanned expenditure due to excise cuts, which has led to compensation for channel inventory, have put an increasing pressure on margins."
A few car companies have announced aggressive discounts and schemes in March to push inventories as it is the last month of the fiscal.
"We saw demand returning this month due to higher discounts and price cuts. Withdrawal of schemes in April and increase in prices will be dampener for the industry because the market sentiment continues to remain down," said Sanghi.
Surjit Singh Arora, analyst with brokerage Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "Historically April is when prices of automobiles go up. The quantum of hike will decide the exact impact on demand. If the rise is around 1%, then it is unlikely to have any negative impact."
According to industry sources, two-wheelers makers may too raise prices; however there has been no indication from the companies.
It's not just automobiles, but a whole host of other consumer goods such as soaps, detergents and hair oil may see price increases on account of rising input costs.
Prices of several key raw materials such as copra, palm oil and other crude-linked packaging materials have gone up in the last three months. For instance, HDPE, a packaging material has gone up 23% year on year, while prices of LAB, a crude linked raw material used in soaps, are up 12%.
On a month-on-month basis, palm oil price is up over 11% since the two months, while copra is up 12.3%.
Industry experts said the companies will not be left with any other option but to go in for a fresh round of price hikes.
Amnish Aggarwal and Gaurav Jogani of Prabhudas Lilladher said these price hikes will prove to be a double whammy for the companies that are already reeling under slowing volume growth.
"We note that volume growth in consumers has seen a steady decline over the past few quarters on high inflation and poor consumer sentiment. We believe that further price increases will delay the volume growth recovery."
Analysts said this will have an impact on the margin growth too, which has so far been a silver lining for the FMCG pack.
"Raw material prices have inched up but companies can't pass the cost on to the consumer in the same quantum as demand environment has been weak. As a result, margins will also get affected," said another analyst with an international brokerage firm.
In order to ensure that the buying power of the consumer is not affected severely, companies will try and ensure that the price hike is limited to mid single-digits in percentage terms, said Abneesh Roy of Edelweiss Securities.
On the other hand, promotions and discounts have become more selective and are present only in highly competitive sectors such as detergents or oral care. With rising input costs, companies may get even more selective with the promotions, said experts.

During the pre release last Sunday I managed to aqquire alot of Amy cards to finish the deck, and yesterday I was able to test against Mitsurugi and Xianghua.
Out of all the new characters I felt that Amy was the one that would suit my playstyle,
2x Path of the Master
2x Giazende Nova and Frischer Himmel
2x Ostreinsburg Castle Throne Room
2x Valkyrja's Sheild
4x Financial Troubles
4x Enemies Now Friends
4x Shadowar
4x The Ultimate Team
4x Sisters of Battle
3x Torn Hero
3x Cursed Blood
3x To the End of the Earth
3x Not Human
3x ...Know when to Talk
4x Soaring Dance
3x Flash Needle
3x Triple Botta in Tempo
3x Dragon Lifter
3x Leaping Snap Kick
During the testing against mitsurugi I was able to use Amy and Valkyrja's Sheild to hold him back from inflicting massive damage to me.
With cards like The Ultimate Team and Ostreinsburg Castle Throne Room (OCTR). To either decrease dmg buy alot more or increase dmg buy alot more.
Using Sisters of Battle and To the End of the Earth to make the attack alot easier to block and giving the opponents attack breaker 2, also Amy and Valkryja's Sheild to give a block Breaker 6 which combined with ...Know when to Talk with give +7 difficulty to there next card.
With the attacks, using Soaring Dance to fuel Flash Needle to kill and to make sure they hit Amys E would be required, Also instead of Flash Needle there is Dragon Lifter which with Amy and OCTR in play will be a high 12 for 8 dmg which stings against the other 7 hand characters e.g. Kisheri, Xianghua and Padma.
But my faviroute combo for the deck is using Amy, OCTR and To the End of the Earth/Valkyrja's Sheild on there block then reversal with Triple Botta in Tempo and using its Combo E to boost the difficulty of there next card and due to the Breaker from Amy OCTR and VS it will be alot harder to block it.

Creating an Easy Beauty Routine
Ever since I was a teenager, I have had a beauty routine. Mind you, it has definitely changed over the years. I also admit to letting it slide for the last couple of years.

Since its first production bowrider in 1991, Crownline's goal has been to give customers what they want. That approach has resulted in rapid company growth. By 1995, the brand had shipped 10,000 boats to consumers in just three and a half years of production; by 2007, it had become the third-largest builder of sterndrive-powered boats in the world. Crownline's motto is "innovation at work." Today, that innovation is seen in a complete line of bowriders, sport decks, cuddies, and cruisers from 18' to 36'.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
Our mountain home has fabulous views of the Canyons ski runs from the upper deck. The lower deck off the master suite has an authentic redwood hot tub to soak after a strenuous day of skiing. You can relax with a cocktail and watch the skiers come down the slopes. You can also feed the ducks that come up to the deck from the nearby pond.
This area is extremely quiet and serene--a nature lover's paradise, but it is still conveniently located to the ski slope. Walk downhill one block to the free bucket lift that whisks you to the base of the Canyons ski area or catch the free shuttle bus right next to your parking area. New for 2012-13 ski year: a new ski run will let you ski back to our condo.
This immaculate condo is the perfect rental home for an intimate winter retreat. It has been completely remodeled with decorator furnishings and details. New for 2012-13 year, a 42' flat screen HDTV in the living room! Also a 32' flat screen TV in the master bedroom. Newly tiled tub with Steam Shower in the master bathroom! Pool, Jacuzzi and sauna are on site. Hi-Speed cable internet, wireless.
Discounts for weekly rentals: We will work with you so that you can enjoy a beautiful vacation with your friends and family.
We love Park City! This is a perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Skiing at Canyons and Deer Valley is amazing and Park City in the summer is beautiful. The location of our condo is perfect for a quiet vacation yet we are close to all the action of Old Town, the beautiful mountains for hiking or any other outdoor sport. Also, we like the people of Park City, very laid-back and friendly. A small town atmosphere.
The benefits of our condo is all the open space surrounding it. Lots of grass and scenery with the pond and the mountains at our doorstep. Soon there will be a first class golf course for those of us who love the sport.
Our family of 6 spent the week skiing at the Canyons. The condo was cozy yet plenty of space for the 6 of us with a nice dining table for 6. The 2 flat screen TVs were nice, gas fireplace really nice, kitchen well equipped, hot tub and views awesome and everything clean. Description and photos very accurate - no surprises. Condo is in great location: within walking distance of the Cabriolet (a little far in ski boots for me but ok for my teen boys) and we were able to ski in to the back steps - awesome. Would ski in for lunch and ride bus (stops 2 times per hour right in front of condo) to main base area. Excellent condo, location and skiing.
We found the condo very well stocked for cooking and entertaining. We enjoyed the Hot Tub after long days on the slopes. It was super convenient to skiing, clean, and very comfortable.
We stayed the week after Christmas. We were blessed with several inches of snow the view was so pretty. The beds were the best I've ever slept in...just like home. She had everything we needed in the kitchen and towels for the hot tub. OH my , I loved the hot tub after a long day of snowboarding. The walk to the Cabriolet was easy. It was very close to the public transportation as well. I absolutely loved this place. We will be back here on our next trip to Park City. I can't say enough nice things about this condo or Diana.
Diana's place was perfect for my family of four (two boys 10 & 12). The condo has everything you need and the hot tub is the perfect follow up to a great day on the slopes. We managed the walk down to the Cabriolet lift without an issue, but kids will need to have a fair level of stamina. You can ski almost all the way back to Diana's condo if you are creative and ski past the bubble lift, around the building and past the ski patrol and then down to the community. Great stay!
My group and I couldn't have asked for a better experience than to stay at Diana's condo during the first week of Sundance Festival.
This property comes with a fully equipped with everything you can possibly need (clean towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, everything you need in a kitchen, and even laundry detergent and in-unit washer and dryer!) Diana is so thoughtful, there are clearly labeled instructions for everything you need to use, and even original manuals for all appliances.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet, and although this complex doesn't have a name, it's very easy to get to. With shuttle stops just across the street, we had no problems getting around town either via shuttle, or getting taxis/shuttle rides.
If I were to plan another trip to Park City, I would want to ask Diana if this property is available first before I search anywhere else.
This unit was perfect for a summer rental for our family of 5. Unit was clean, well furnished and very cozy. Super convenient to everything in the Park City area. Diana was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend!! Looking forward to hopefully returning in the summer and/or winter.
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay on our recent trip to the Canyons. Diana was so pleasnt to work with and everything about her home was as we had hoped. A cozy retreat at the end of a day of skiing, well equipped and attractively decorated. The hot tub was an added treat! Hope to return before long!!
Located in Park City with access to three ski areas: The Canyons, Park City and Deer Valley. Within easy driving distance to Alta, Snowbird and other Cottonwood Canyon ski areas. Old Town Park City and Sundance Film Festival is a short 3 min. drive with unique shops, fine dining and abundant art galleries. Only 30 minutes from the Salt Lake Airport.

I found today a possible issue with integration between YARPP and Options theme (http://themehybrid.com/themes/options).
In options theme on library/functions/template-functions.php around line there is a method that automatically adds in single.php a container for related posts and automatically calls one of the following three functions if exists:
So no matter if you check or uncheck the "Automatically display related posts?" the options theme will anyway call the related_posts() function.
This way there are cases when Related Posts appears twice in the post.
I can fix this in both ways: modifying your plugin or modifying his theme, but every custom change I make it just adds another thing to do when I update any of them.
So I see two options for this:
1. Either you modify the names of the related_posts() and the other similar methods to be something like:
2. Either Justin modify its theme to support your enable/disable function from your plugin.
Personally I would prefer the first option, which will make those methods unique and be used with any other plugin/theme.
Thank you,

Cheney sisters spar on same-sex marriage
Tuesday - 11/19/2013, 11:53am EST
Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife stepped into a sibling squabble Monday after their daughters became involved in a public feud over gay marriage that began on "Fox News Sunday" and soon spread to social media.
Discussing her U.S. Senate campaign on the talk show, Liz Cheney restated her support for the "traditional definition" of marriage. She added that states should be free to decide for themselves whether to allow or prohibit same-sex unions.
Her sister, Mary Cheney, who is married to a woman, shot back on Facebook: "You're just wrong."
Things got testy enough that their parents were compelled to address the matter.
"This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public," read a statement distributed by Dick and Lynne Cheney.
"Since it has, one thing should be clear," the statement continued. "Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage. She has also always treated her sister and her sister's family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done."
In Wyoming, scene of the murder of gay university student Matthew Shepard 15 years ago that remains a watershed moment for gay rights, Liz Cheney's stance mirrors the Equality State's own soul-searching on gay marriage.
The heavily Republican state Legislature has swung from close votes just a few years ago on proposals to ban recognition of gay marriages performed in other states to, this year, giving serious consideration to permitting same-sex civil unions and a ban on discrimination against gays.
Liz Cheney's opponent Sen. Mike Enzi says he supports a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman, only.
For her part, Liz Cheney says gay marriage should be a matter for states to decide and supports the "traditional definition" of marriage. But she says she doesn't think states should discriminate against same-sex couples.
She has opposed a federal constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and supported equal spousal benefits for same-sex couples employed by the State Department, where she used to work.
"I stand by both of those positions," she said on Fox News Sunday. "I don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If people are in a same-sex relationship, and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary under life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that."
But what if a state were allowed to ban gay marriage and, as a consequence, prohibit all the advantages, such as health insurance and death benefits, which marriage confers to heterosexual couples?
"The issue of sanctioning marriage has always been up to the states and to the people in the states and that is where it belongs. My own personal view is that marriage is between a man and a woman," she responded to The Associated Press by email.
How much attention the matter gets before Wyomingites cast their votes in their state's Republican primary nine months from now remains to be seen.
Mary Cheney and her wife, Heather Poe, didn't waste any time challenging Liz Cheney's television comments as insufficiently pro-gay marriage.
"Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 -- she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us," Poe posted on Facebook. "To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least."
Chimed in Mary Cheney: "Couldn't have said it better myself. Liz - this isn't just an issue on which we disagree - you're just wrong - and on the wrong side of history," she posted.
Enzi was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996 and is seeking a fourth term. He will continue to support legislation that "protects the institution of marriage," campaign spokeswoman Kristen Walker said by email Monday.
Many people informally call Wyoming the Cowboy State. Officially, it's the Equality State, so-named because it was first to allow women to vote, serve on juries and hold public office.

The fallout from the announcement 10 days ago that the
STX Pan Ocean Shipping Co had filed for receivership, has
After an eventful career, it is now the end of the line for
the cruise ship that used to call here as Sky Princess
and Pacific Sky.
The second of three CMA CGM's 16.020TEU giant Explorer-class
container ships began its maiden voyage 10 days ago from
Back on its second visit last Friday, Mare Phoenicium
is one of the larger, chartered vessels that has been calling
here recently on the Mediterranean Shipping Company's
Capricorn service.
Well, it is all over for another six months after
Oosterdam brought a very successful cruise ship season
to a close last Friday.
As the season winds down, it was welcome last Saturday to the
newest of the cruise ships seen here this season, the
maiden-calling Marina.
Major companies had their own naming systems in the past, and
still do, but long gone are the days when British liner
companies trading to this country used the names of British
counties, ports and cities throughout the world and, along
with New Zealand interests, Maori names.
It is disappointing this port has been denied a chance to
host a final visit by Saga Cruises' Saga Ruby, for
this veteran would have afforded an opportunity to see one of
the last graceful and classic passenger liners of a past era,
one in which ships were built to look like ships.
So far, since last October, Port Otago has been fortunate in
enjoying a very successful cruise-ship season. Passengers and
crew members from all over the world have called during
cruises that have not been marred by serious incidents.
After an absence of 10 years (it was last here on February 6,
2003), the cruiseship Europa, on a world-wide cruise,
will be back on its third visit on Saturday.

By James Slater - Its not in any way a definite yet, but former light-heavyweight champion Glen Johnson may come into the ongoing Super Six super-middleweight tournament, as a replacement for the injured Mikkel Kessler. This is the word according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, and he reports how the 41-year-old Road Warrior, coming off that close points loss to IBF 175-pound boss Tavoris Cloud, is very much interested in joining the tourney - even if he has not fought at the 168-pounds limit in ten years..
Reportedly, other names being suggested as possibilities to replace Kessler and fight Allan Green in Group Three were, Sakio Bika, Robert Stieglitz and Brian Magee. For one reason or another, these names were passed on, and Johnson is now the leading candidate to come on board.
Its definitely something I would be interested in, Johnson told Rafael yesterday. I definitely think I can make the weight. If you pay attention to my weigh-ins, I weight like 172, 173 all the time. I stay in the low 170s, so I just have to lose another three or four pounds to get into the 168-pound division.
Im excited. Im trying to keep my composure. If it happens it will be a wonderful thing. We should know in a couple of days.
Johnson, 50-14-2(34), last fought as a super-middleweight in September of 2000, when he stopped Toks Owoh inside six-rounds in London, England. Never able to win a world title at 168, Johnson lost a debatable decision to IBF champ Sven Ottke in November of 1999. Soon after, the Jamaican moved up, and in 2003 he became a big player in the 175-pound division.
Can Glen now drop back down to his old weight class and be competitive against natural 168-pounders like Green, and if he gets past that fight, Carl Froch, Andre Ward, Arthur Abraham and Andre Dirrell? With his warrior spirit, Johnson figures to at least give Green a tough night; if the weight making process doesnt take too much out of him. Another concern is Johnsons age and long career. How much can the amazing 41-year-old have left in the tank? Against a slick operator like Chad Dawson, Glen looked old and faded (in the second fight with Bad Chad, anyway), whilst against an aggressive come forward type like Cloud, Glen looked like he had a lot left to offer.
If Johnson does enter Super Six, we will know a lot more about his chances after the Green fight (probably set to happen on the under-card of the Nov. 6th Marquez-Lopez clash in Las Vegas according to Rafael). But wouldnt it be something if the old guy, late replace wound up winning the thing!?

"Mini Dvora" will be presented for the first time at the Israel Export Institute's HLS Conference this week in Tel Aviv
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is presenting its Mini Dvora, a multi mission fast patrol boat for Home Land Security (HLS) and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) security missions for the first time at the 2nd International HLS conference, which will be held this week at the Israel Trade Fairs and Convention Center near Tel Aviv.
Mini Dvora, a member of the Super Dvora fast boat family, is the result of RAMTA Division's extensive experience and maritime legacy. Located in Beer Sheva, RAMTA has, for over four decades, developed and manufactured most of Israel's Navy security boats as well as for other customers around the world.
The new light fast patrol boat offers an exclusive combination of high speed, exceptional maneuverability under extreme harsh weather conditions and high seas, excellent range and endurance, state-of-the-art human-engineering and low operational costs over time. The boat's unique structure allows it to perform missions in shallow waters near the coast as well as in deep waters.
The boat's modular construction allows installation of combat and other systems according to the customer's requirements as well as allowing a constant upgrade to the latest developments in the boat's electronics, radars and weapons. In addition, the customer can choose between Articulating Surface Drive (ASD) or Water Jet (WJ).

MPs from Andhra Pradesh force adjournment
The first day of the extended winter session of the Lok Sabha on Wednesday ended less than 15 minutes after it began, with no business transacted other than passing a unanimous resolution condemning the killing of Nido Tania, an Arunachal Pradesh student, in New Delhi last week.
The adjournment comes amid mounting criticism of the 15th Lok Sabha, which has passed fewer laws than any of the previous ones which had completed the full term.
Two flagship pieces of anti-corruption legislation — the Right of Citizens for Time-Bound Delivery of Goods and Services and Redressal of their Grievances Bill, 2011, and the Prevention of Bribery of Foreign Public Officials of Public International Organisations Bill, 2011 — had been scheduled to be passed on Wednesday. The Bills were among the 39 the United Progressive Alliance government had prioritised for the winter session.
However, MPs from Andhra Pradesh forced Parliament to adjourn, mounting protests on the Telangana issue.
Members of the Lok Sabha managed to voice their concern over discrimination against people from the Northeast. "The entire House condemns the death of the young boy," Speaker Meira Kumar said. "A clear message should go to the entire country that Parliament wants that all the people and children from the Northeast are protected."
Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj raised the issue, saying Parliament ought to "address the bias against the north-eastern community. We must demand protection for these students."
Ninong Ering, Congress member who represents the Arunachal Pradesh East constituency, said "racial discrimination is a very serious matter for the country."
Rajya Sabha deadlock
The Rajya Sabha met again in the afternoon, after similar protests from MPs on the Telangana issue and the Prevention of Communal Violence Bill.
Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley opposed the introduction of the Bill.
Union Minister for Law and Justice Kapil Sibal, in response to Opposition charges that the Prevention of Communal Violence Bill violated the federal structure, argued that the Bill was mainly concerned with compensating victims of communal violence, and said it ensured that the Centre would have to seek a State's permission before intervening. A decision to introduce the Bill was then deferred.

Can you or your boat feel any very definite differences between your old CQR and the Rocna? Do you feel, for example, a significantly more robust bite when you place your hand on your chain, feel the boat come 'round or stop much more abruptly with the Rocna?
I looked one over again on the docks today and even felt it over :-0
Back in early September I had a chance to load up my 35 Mantus, 33 Rocna and my 35 CQR. I only had a couple of hours so the other anchors stayed at home. I used a twin screw 30' sport fishing boat with 450HP to pull test these anchors. I own a 5000 pound rated digital load cell that was used for measurement.
With the Mantus and Rocna I easily approached where I thought I might pull the cleat from the vessel, and being my brothers boat, I decided I'd be nice and back off...
I registered over 4500 pounds twice, once with each hoop style anchor. The 450 HP could not muster that entirely and I had to get sort of a momentum start. The Rocna and Mantus set within inches, first try for both, and never dragged.
The CQR took 6 tries to get it to hold beyond 200-300 pounds. When it finally was "set" it dragged slowly through the mud bottom never breaking 500-600 pounds of steady load. It had a couple short blips over 800 but I suspect that was rocks or debris it dragged through on the bottom...
I had intended to make a video, as I often do, but when I got there I had forgotten my SD card in my computer.....
I plan to repeat this next season when my brothers boat goes back into the water.
So to answer your question yes they do feel different both in the way they set, which is usually instantaneously, and like you are tied to a concrete dock, and they don't budge once set..
I used CQR's for nearly 20 years. Having now owned a Manson Supreme, Spade, Rocna and a Mantus I can honestly say there is no comparison between them and a CQR in initial setting, re-setting and sheer holding power...

Although January is typically the time of year when we turn to goal setting, too often, it is a waste of time. Let's be honest. How many times have you achieved all of your yearly goals?
The problem is not with goals. Goals provide focus, create momentum and help us stay on track.
The problem is with the goal setting process itself – choosing the right goals and setting up the right support for them.
Before you set goals this year, keep these 6 things in mind:
1. Start with your current goals.
When goal setting, keep your previous goals in mind to create a sense of flow. Don't just start over anew each year. For goals that have been accomplished, identify the next . . . → Read More: Six Things to Keep in Mind Before Goal Setting

By the early 1990s, she found herself working as a secretary again, and speaking at elementary schools. "I started to hate traveling. I had trouble getting in and out of planes and cars," she said. "The most satisfying work was speaking to children." The death of her grandmother and the loss of her job hit her rather hard in recent years. Her health has since been in decline, and she's had money issues. At one point she was tried selling signed paint-by-number portraits for $45. While in physical therapy, she heard about the Sept. 11 attack. "I was scared and devastated," she said. "But it also made me want to go forward. It made me feel so close to other Americans, and that we are a country that's compassionate." "I've really struggled with depression, especially recently," she says. "The trick is to get yourself to realize that you can be compassionate and that you can find compassionate people. The idiots and the mean people, you can just ignore."

VisEn Co-Founder Named Radiologic Society's 'Outstanding Researcher of the Year'
"The RSNA 'Outstanding Researcher of the Year' award is an important acknowledgement of Dr. Weissleder's vision for molecular imaging as an integral component in the future of clinical medicine," said
According to the RSNA, each "Outstanding Researcher of the Year" honoree has demonstrated a long-term commitment to radiologic research, including service as a principal investigator on peer-reviewed, nationally funded research programs, mentoring a new generation of research physicians, and leading significant scientific discoveries.
Dr. Weissleder has published over 500 peer-reviewed articles and is a founding member and past President of the Society for Molecular Imaging Research. He is the recipient of numerous scientific awards including the Allyn Taylor Prize in International Medicine, an SMI Lifetime Achievement Award and the Millennium Innovator in Medicine award.
Dr. Weissleder is also known for his significant contributions to molecular imaging research. Most of his work has been aimed at cancer, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases and has led to new approaches in the management of these diseases.
Dr. Weissleder is a co-founder of VisEn Medical, which has further developed and commercialized some of the leading fluorescence molecular imaging technologies originating out of Dr. Weissleder's lab at MGH, including "FMT" or fluorescent molecular tomography, as well as a portfolio of fluorescence in vivo imaging agents. The VisEn FMT 2500(TM) quantitative tomography system provides 3D quantification of disease biologies in vivo and is used by leading research institutions and pharma companies worldwide both in research and in drug development. In addition, VisEn develops and markets a broad range of fluorescent in vivo imaging agents enabling the quantification and measurement of key disease-associated biomarkers and therapeutic responses in vivo. These agents are used preclinically today, and along with the Fox Chase Cancer Center, VisEn's first "smart" fluorescence activatable agent is being planned for clinical trials in late 2009 to enable physicians to identify and characterize early stage disease in pancreatic and ovarian cancer patients.
Information on Dr. Weissleder and his work at the MGH can be found on: csb.mgh.harvard.edu and cmir.mgh.harvard.edu

Fantastic Chalet!
About the Owner

Fantastic Chalet!
Neat place!
We were lucky (or unlucky - depending on how you look at it!) enough to stay in Talkeetna during one of the warmest weeks of the summer with daytime highs in the mid 80s. There was only one fan in the Mountain House and many windows either did not open or did not have screens. Wow, it got uncomfortably hot inside! We would have spent more time outside but the mosquitoes were truly terrible. (Of course, the owners can't do anything about the bugs.)
There also seemed to be a problem with the hot water heater or boiler. Two of the four people in our group were able to get warm showers each day. The other two were left with nothing but very cold water. This would be the one thing that stops me from renting this property again - esp. if I am traveling with a larger group.
Complaints aside, the property has an amazing view of Mt. Foraker, Mt. Hunter, and Mt. McKinley. It was a great place for our out of state visitors to take in the beauty of Alaska. The owners brought us fresh milk and pastries which we really appreciated.

Overview of the Collection
Content Description
The papers of John J. Peebles include materials that he used for the recovery of the base line established near Boise in 1899 for the control of topographic surveying in southwestern Idaho, as explained below (Series 1), and materials relating to the Atlantic Steam Shovel (Series 2).
As an historical project in 1976 John J. Peebles tried to relocate the extremities of the base line established near Boise in 1889 for the first topographic surveying in southwestern Idaho. At the same time he wrote the Geological Survey Office offering to report on the conditions of survey marks he happened upon. This record group consists of these reports, triangulation maps, copies of the original field notes, and other material relating to surveying. There is also a small amount of correspondence interspersed among articles and charts.
The majority of the material was in 14 labeled notebooks. Although the material was removed from the notebooks and placed in folders the original heading was retained. The research material and field notes were in four unlabeled notebooks. The maps in folders 24 and 25 were originally rolled and placed in large mailing tubes. These maps are now folded.
The types of material found in the Ada County folder include state plane coordinates from geodetic positions, progress sketches, list of geographic position station names, station descriptions, and recovery notes.
The specific area folders contain reports on condition of survey marks, geodetic control diagrams, horizontal control data, and description of horizontal control stations.
Other materials in Series 1, include articles on the USGS and surveying, correspondence with the Geological Survey, field notes and maps. The books of triangulations and field notes are photocopies of material in the State Historical Library, and probably date from the time of the original surveys.
Administrative Information
Acquisition Information :
The materials related to the topographic surveys were donated by John J. Peebles, in July 1987. In April 2014, his widow, Mrs. Harriette Peebles donated the materials related to the Atlantic Steam Shovel.Separated Materials :
