Name: Stella Thavanis, Occupation: Fish vendor
The women selling fish at Shanghumughom beach are oblivious to the steadily darkening clouds in the horizon. They are busy attracting customers. Stella Thavanis has lined her ware: pomfret, mackerel, sardine, seer fish, sting ray, crab, squid, prawns… at her make-shift stall. "I woke up at 1 a.m. this morning and went to Vizhinjam where my friends, Teresa, Victoria and I, auctioned for the fish. We run the stall together and take turns to run it. There are many fish vendors like me at that time of day bargaining for the best from the day's catch," she says.
It is only during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam that Stella and her friends have to wake before the break of dawn to buy their daily quota of fish from Vizhinjam. "That is because the fishermen at Shanghumughom cannot go to sea due to the unpredictable weather. The months of November and December are also tough on us but we somehow manage. Otherwise, I wake by 6 a.m., head to the beach, buy the fish, and then set up the stall. My husband, Thavanis, and sons, Santhosh, Shibu and Baiju, who are fishermen,Kadalamma provide the day's catch for sale if the Kadalamma [Goddess of Sea] is merciful."
With a broad smile and good sense of humour, Stella seems to be quite popular with customers as many stop at the stall to buy from her. "I have been serving customers for the past 27 years at this spot. I live nearby. Regulars know that I will provide fresh fish at a reasonable price. The price of fish varies according to the availability and also depends on the price we pay for the fish. As the domestic airport is nearby, many who head back from the airport pause to buy seafood. Some of the residents living in and around the area buy from me too."
She laments however, on how the number of customers has dropped since the international airport has moved to Chakka.
As customers on bikes and cars stop by her stall, Stella haggles with them and persuades them to loosen their purse strings. "I can't read or write as I have never gone to school, but when it comes to calculating money, I am an expert. Whatever money I make helps make ends meet for my family. I have managed to pick up a couple of English words as I occasionally deal with customers from Male."
The life of a fish vendor is a tough one, says Stella. She is used to it though as she was brought up by the sea. Their lives depend on the sea and weather. Their day, which begins at dawn ends at around 10 p.m. "While some days we are lucky and are able to close shop early as our sale for the day is done, on others, we are stuck with leftover seafood. We put some of the leftover in the freezer for the next day and the rest, we salt and leave to dry," she says.
Sunday is their day of rest, says Stella. That is the day fish vendors around the Shanghumughom area take a break. "I go to church, catch up on my house work and spend time with my family."
As steady drops begin to fall from the sky, Teresa, who is nearby, rushes to set up a beach umbrella as Stella sits and waits for the weather to clear so that she can earn her daily bread.

epa04161114 A handout picture made available by the Australian Defense on 10 April 2014 shows Gunner Richard Brown (L) on lookout on the forecastle of the Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Perth in search of debris from missing Malaysia Airline Flight MH370 during Operation SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN on 07 April 2014. HMAS Perth has joined the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Searchers out in the Indian Ocean on 10 April 2014 believe they are close to the 'final resting place' of the lost Malaysia Airlines jet. The Boeing 777 went missing a month ago on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. EPA/ABIS Nicolas Gonzalez / RAN HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
An Australian search official dismissed reports Friday that the location of the data-recording black boxes on missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had been found.
"On the information I have available to me, there has been no major breakthrough in the search for MH370," the search leader, retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, said in a statement as rumors swirled about the jet, which disappeared March 8 with 239 people on their way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in a speech Friday in Shanghai that searchers were confident that they knew the relative position of the black boxes, Reuters reported.
But Abbott cautioned that "confidence in the approximate position of the black box is not the same as recovering wreckage from almost 4½ kilometers beneath the sea or finally determining all that happened on the flight."
Search leaders had said Thursday that a new possible signal had been located underwater by an Australian navy aircraft. Houston said early Friday that signal was unlikely to be from the missing Boeing 777.
"The Australian Joint Acoustic Analysis Centre has analysed the acoustic data and confirmed that the signal reported in the vicinity of the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield is unlikely to be related to the aircraft black boxes," Houston said.

Special Correspondent
Thiruvananthapuram: The area around the Martyrs' Column at Palayam in the city is undergoing a major facelift.
The traffic islands near the column are being landscaped with paved flooring, lawns and flowering shrubs.
The work is being implemented by Thiruvananthapuram Road Development Company Ltd. (TRDCL) under the City Roads Improvement Project. The company will maintain the facilities for 15 years under a contract with the government.
The walkway between the traffic islands has been paved with coloured tiles. The slab over the underpass that is used to organise small public events will be landscaped with turf and paving.
"The traffic islands are being covered with grass and the borders planted with flowering shrubs to prevent trampling by pedestrians. We hope to complete the work in two days," a company official said.
The company has submitted a proposal to the government to renovate the perimeter of the Martyrs' Column and create a boundary wall with granite pillars, wirecut bricks and black marble and terracotta or sandstone paving within. It has also proposed floodlighting of the premises.
"The idea is to develop the Martyrs' Column as a recreation centre where citizens can converge to unwind in the evenings," an official said.
He said the flower merchants at the Connemera Market had come forward to offer support for the project and help in maintaining the facilities.
"It is only because of their cooperation that the saplings planted along MG Road, from the VJT Hall junction to LMS, could be protected," the official said.

In case you weren't alive in the 90's which would suck if thats true, then you don't know about 'N Sync. Basically, one of the biggest pop acts of the late 90's pop music craze.
We here at Cracked enjoy a nice soothing melody, especially if a group of young male dancers are allowed to frolic throughout the song. Since the boy band fit all of these groups snugly, we happily allow them among us.
That being said, We are Cracked and since we make fun and question everything, how could we not knock something so many people loved, or loved to hate?
While there has been many vocal groups/boy bands/pop acts that annoy most men (aka men who don't want to get with pop-music loving girls in high school); *Nsync has done something many of the others haven't. They stopped making music and haven't had reunions (The Jacksons, New Edition) or staying together longer then necessary (Boy II Men, Color Me Badd, Backstreet Boys). This small step has kept some of their hard core fan base willing to wait out and see if that day will happen.
You: If they pop music fodder why doesn't everyone mock them?
Me: Well, its quite easy.
1) They haven't done anything together in over 6 years.
2) They may have many a lame group photo--
--and odd songs but compared to most of the music out now its like listening to something halfway decent even for the people who used to hate them, can now at least tollerate it.
3) Have you heard Willow Smith's "Whip my hair"? That song alone proves how much the music business is grasping at crap to stick at a wall.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
While Chris's family is decent and determined, the hero of the cartoony new comedy My Name Is Earl is a hapless, shiftless member of the red-state underclass. We first see Earl (Jason Lee) buying a breakfast beer plus some scratch cards at a roadside convenience store, while Beck croons, "I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?" on the soundtrack to underline the premise that this petty thief and his fat-slob brother have no redeeming social value. Redemption comes from an unlikely source: Earl hears MTV sage Carson Daly mention the idea of karma on a talk show. In a delicious twist on the American Protestant belief that the poor's plight is their own darned fault, Earl concludes that if his "life sucks . . . it's because I've been a bad person." He decides to wipe his slate clean, erasing his sins (all 259 of them) by turning bad deeds into good ones. He starts off with a geek he mercilessly bullied at school, who has grown up into a closeted, lonely gay man. In an act of supreme self-sacrifice and bravery (or so it feels to a red-blooded dude like Earl), he escorts the wallflower to his first gay bar. Cue warm tingly feelings all around.
Earl is hilarious, but its laughter is easily earned. The humor in Chris comes with a twinge, based on the uneasy comedy of hard times and parental sacrifice. Chris's dad can precisely quantify the cost of any wasted food ("That's 49 cents worth of milk dripping on my table!"). After school, the children's struggle to avoid waking their Pops (who works several night shifts) is painfully funnyaccent on pain. There's no such thing as a leisurely bathroom break in this family; when his sister pees, Chris has to race into the bathroom with pillows to dampen the sound of the flush. But throwing in a charming kid and running the whole thing through the filter of nostalgia makes it a whole lot easier to laugh than if the show were set somewhere contemporary (say, the Ninth Ward of New Orleans). Think The Wonder Years with an empty fridge, or even Roseanne with a little schoolyard racism added to the working-class family's bulging sack of woes.

In late 2013 our friends at Read The Label and Mutant Pros embarked on an exciting media project with Red Bull and Ironlak. Here's a statement from them about the documentary:
Throughout a long working and personal relationship, the two creative entities merged their areas of expertise into one larger than life film experience. In this first instalment of Stand Or Fall the skateboarding and Graffiti art cultures are forged, highlighting the rebellious nature and global communities of artists and athletes by documenting the road trip process.
Mixing in interesting first hand accounts and personal motivations from both cultures and figures from the local scenes, we've compiled some very insightful and interesting content. From the small differences and large similarities in the cultures and all of the talents personalities, to the unique skill level they all posses.
Bringing the audience along for the ride, we gathered two well accomplished and hard working artists and skaters, packed into the Red Bull recreational vehicle and hit the road to let the guys get loose. On the art side, James Haunt from Los Angeles CA and Australian graffiti giant Sofles came along and knocked out some amazing murals and provided some great insight in each Local. On the skateboarding side we had Dutch Red Bull and LRG Team rider Sewa Kroetkov and LA native Rykeis Tyson killing streets and parks for us. We we're so ecstatic that each of them were available for the trip, cause they were all of our first choices. We also got some great interviews with Pro skater Brandon Biebel, Gabe at FTC Sacramento and world renowned, Ironlak sponsored artist JURNE! The film's title is in reference to the complete focus and dedication all of these artists, athletes and entrepreneurs have given to their craft. There is no in between if you want to reach the height of your potential. We urge everyone watching to pick a side, win or lose, Stand or Fall!

We finally had our anatomy scan and we are having a BOY!!!!! We went into our scan and the little one wouldn't hold still, she basically chased him all over my belly and got very few measurments. We had to go to our Dr. appointment after an hour so they asked us to come back afterwards and hope he had calmed down.
So we went back in about 30 min later, and in no way had he calmed down lol. At one point they were trying to measure his arm and he put it behind his head and laid on it. When they tried to get pictures of his spine he curled up in a ball and hid next to my hip bone. I'm starting to think I'm going to have my hands full when he gets here.

Anstine-Audubon Nature Preserve taking shape north of Vista
VISTA -- On a sweltering day last week, just north of the city, volunteers clad in dusty gardening clothes dragged rakes through a thick carpet of wild fennel, mustard and brittle grass. Nearby, a worker used a trenching machine to carve a ragged irrigation channel from the old home nearby to the center of the dry field.
Claude Edwards of the San Diego Audubon Society surveyed their progress and wiped his brow with a pocket cloth.
"This is a new phase in our history," he said, gesturing toward his surroundings, a developing nature preserve just outside Vista.
Three years have been spent removing trash, dead trees and stacks of rotting firewood from the overgrown, 11-acre property. And now, Edwards said, the Audubon Society is ready to move on to the next phase of its plan: preparing the soil for a gradual restoration of natural habitat.
The Audubon Society's Anstine committee that Edwards chairs has a grand vision that includes a network of hiking trails with interpretive signs, gardens teeming with native plants and wildlife. It's a redesign that will take several more years, but there's much enthusiasm to see it through.
"We're trying to give people a place to relax and escape suburbia," said Chris Redfern, the Audubon Society's executive director.
A secret garden
Until recently, Kathy Mason, a volunteer worker who lives just a few blocks away, had never heard of the Anstine-Audubon Nature Preserve, she said.
"I've walked by it, but I never knew what it was," she added.
The property, on unincorporated land near Guajome Regional Park, is not yet open to the public. There are no trails or facilities, and thick vegetation leaves much of it inaccessible.
"Right now, the only way you can see this property is if you come help us work," Edwards said.
He said he has already catalogued nearly 100 species of birds, including the scub-jay and common yellowthroat.
The property came to the Audubon Society via former owners John and Lois Anstine, who had lived at the site for several decades. The couple had installed an orchard, planted flower beds, even created a small pond on the property.
John Anstine made Lois a promise that he would work to preserve the land as open space, and after her death in 1988, he contacted the San Diego Audubon, Edwards said.
Anstine died in 1999, and the environmentally minded group took over management and maintenance responsibilities.
A big job loomed.
No small task
When Edwards first saw the property, it had fallen into disrepair. Bricks, barbed wire, broken trees limbs and rusty farm equipment littered the yard. The orchard had been swallowed by 5-foot-tall weeds.
Since 2003, the Audubon Society has organized volunteer workdays every three or four months to bring the property under control. Turnout ranges from 10 to 50 people, Edwards said, and the to-do list -- mostly weed containment and trash removal -- is always long. A young couple live in the small house and act as caretakers, Edwards said.

GOOD INWARDS SITE SURVEY Southwark used to be one of London's major industrial centres with large-scale industry production in the field of engineering, rope-making, manufacturing, cotton milling, food-processing and clothing. It was a centre for iron founding, wire making, glass making, and many other heavy industries. Now notorious for its food market and vibrant creative culture, such industries have become lost. Elements of its past are evident through street names, odd street numbering, geographics and conserved architecture. Home to Europe's largest leather industry in the 1700s the clothing industry continued to thrive throughout the 1800s. Christie's of Bermondsey successfully manufactured hats, including the fashionable Victorian beaver hat, supplying product for varied clients. The flag warehouse could be found on Tanner Street, wool-stapling helped supply wool to weaving countries and rope / sail-cloth making was also popular. Southwark lived in the shadow of The City of London by the river, and provided the support necessary to maintain the capital's metropolitan way of life. Southwark Street primarily consists of Victorian buildings with densely articulated fa�ades that range from three to six storeys in height. The street maintains a consistent building line that carves a prominent street frontage but the traditional shop fronts have certainly been altered over the last century. The site is situated in the borough of Southwark; Tate Modern art gallery can be found North West, trendy Tooley Street is North East and Borough food market is East. The building lies within the Borough High Street Conservation area and is just beside the Waterloo - London Bridge railway line. Located at the junction of Southwark Street and Redcross Way it is close to both London Bridge (0.3 miles) and Borough (0.4 miles) tube stations. 34 � 36 Southwark Street is a derelict Victorian public house, dated approximately to the 1860s, occupying a corner site measuring approx 0.036 acres. It's architectural style is typical to the corner buildings of local conservation areas; with facade features designed to exploit the architectural potential of such a location dictinctively with it's corner entrance door and prominent central window. The building's roof, and much of it's internal structure, was lost due to fire damage and the remaining structure is supported by modern scaffolding, needed to sustain it's stability. Uninhabited since this damage, the property went to public auction in December 2009 but did not reach its reserve, consequentially remaining vacant. The most curious feature of this building is the boldly white lettered sign `GOODS INWARDS' which remains prominent on the Southwark Street fa�ade.

A tangible refuge for local creatives. A lacework steel mesh shell structurally supports the existing fa�ade in place, creating a singular walled internal space. Within this, a variegated composition of fabrics is suspended from the existing facade and site party walls, creating an organic, intertwining space overtaken with colour and texture for the user to interact with. What do people do in it? An environment created to entice and inspire. The fabric interior can be used as the individual so pleases: They can add to it; take bits off it, make things out of it... a catalyst for creativity and expression. They can experience it; cocoon themselves within it, wrap or wear it, simply feel the materials... a comforting oasis from the reality of the outside world. What is it made out of and why? Good Inwards reminisces and rekindles Southwark's lost industries through it's choice of materials... fabric, leather, wool and wirework. The textiles create a soft interior offering an inspiring spectrum of colour, pattern and texture to it's visiting occupants. Made out of biodegradable materials the internal structure eventually rots, whilst the existing supported crust will sustain, creating a habitat for plant and wildlife. How did we design it? Working as a team of architect and textile designer, the scheme was brought about by merging our skill sets. Schrader, offering architectural input, and Domm, an understanding of textiles & colour. The concept was derived from an initial mood board, the seed of garment and fabric design, that inspired the external structure and defined the palette of the interior. 3 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 1. / 2.

Hispanics Face Breast Cancer Barriers
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — In Hispanic culture, cancer is something people don't talk about, and that makes a diagnosis of breast cancer even tougher, says the head of a support network for Hispanic women with the cancer.
"For the Hispanic culture, it's about the group, not the individual," said Elba Saavedra, assistant professor for research at the University of New Mexico and director of the support group, Comadre a Comadre. "They think, 'I've got to stay healthy porque ellos me necesitan (because my family needs me).'"
Local and national experts and oncologists plan to promote awareness and give Hispanics information about breast cancer and clinical trials at a free seminar Saturday in both English and Spanish. Its backers hope to address fears and concerns.
Clinical trials have helped develop better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer but many women hesitate to participate because they don't understand what the experimental efforts are.
Only 3 percent of U.S. adults with cancer participate in clinical trials, and fewer than 6 percent of all participants are Hispanic, according to figures from the National Cancer Institute and Redes in Accion.
"We want to raise awareness about what clinical trials are," Saavedra said. "It's hard to reach us (Hispanics), not just because of the stereotype that we are unreachable, but because people don't always know how to reach us."
Nine community organizations are sponsoring the seminar, which will include two panel discussions and guest speaker Maria Fernandez, a professor at the University of Texas at Houston and investigator for numerous National Cancer Institute studies.
"The idea was to bring a collaborative group to look at all sides, so we can bring the best information on a national and local level," Saavedra said.
According to the cancer institute and Redes in Accion:
– The most common cancer among Hispanic women in New Mexico is breast cancer, but only 38 percent of Hispanic women age 40 and older have regular screening mammograms.
– Uninsured Hispanics are two to three times more likely to have cancer diagnosed at a later stage, making it less treatable.
– More than 21,000 U.S. Hispanics are expected to die of cancer each year.

Top Reasons You Should Consider buying a Mobile Home
The Many Advantages
If you are in the market for a new home you should consider the advantages mobile homes can offer. Over the years, quality standards for these homes have greatly improved and in many cases mobile homes, or manufactured homes, feature better quality construction than other types of homes. When you buy a mobile home you can be assured you are getting the most home for your money.
In many instances it can be very difficult to tell the difference between a site-built home and a manufactured home. You will find these modern houses offer features like energy efficient heating and cooling systems and countless floor plans are available. Whether you are looking for a small home or one large enough to meet the needs of a growing family, mobile homes could be your ideal solution.
Warranties and Appreciation
New manufactured homes come with warranties, which can help put the homeowners' minds at ease. Contrary to popular belief and opinions, just because a home is a "manufactured home" does not mean it will never appreciate in value. Quality built and well-maintained homes, whether site-built or manufactured, do have the potential to appreciate in value. However, just as with any type of home, many variables must be considered. This includes such things as the local housing market, the initial price of the home, inflation and the overall condition of the home.
Community Living In A Green Way
The days of the old and tired "trailer parks' are over. Nowadays manufactured home communities are clean and neat places to live. Some of the advantages of living in these communities include the fact that homeowners do not have to worry about such things as snow removal, trash pickup or lawn services. Plus, some of the communities are much like small resort areas that offer beautifully landscaped grounds, walking trails, fitness centers, social activities and much more.
Going green is easy to do when you live in a modern manufactured home. The building process itself is done in a way that conserves materials as most scraps are recycled. Energy efficiency is a focus throughout the homes. Living in an energy efficient home offers great savings as well. And for many people, this concept adds to the attractiveness of living in manufactured home communities, where an entire neighborhood lives in an eco-friendly manner.
Amenities and Flexibility Galore
Modern mobile homes can offer all the design flexibilities and amenities that any site-built home can. This includes everything from porches and decks to vaulted ceilings. Top-of-the-line fixtures, hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, wall-to-wall carpet, walk-in closets, sunken tubs, bay windows and fireplaces are just some of the options available in these homes. And one of the major advantages that manufactured homes have over site-built homes is that these options are installed before the home reaches your property.
Buyer Has Control
If you have ever gone through the process of having a home built, or if you know someone that has, you undoubtedly know about some of the things that can cause delays in construction. Even rain or snow can be a major hold-up. Other problems can be related to vandalism or workers not showing up as scheduled. These problems are avoided in the manufactured home industry. That's because the homes are built in factories. Strict regulations guide the process along the way. In most instances, manufactured homes can be built in about one-third the time it takes a contractor to build a site-built home. Manufactured homes are built in an assembly line process and there is very little room for error. Quality checks are made throughout the process.
This is a controlled environment, which means good weather is not required to ensure that the building process will proceed as scheduled. The buyer/new homeowner can relax in knowing that the home will be built as planned. Not only does this save time, but this concept also results in cost savings during construction. The factories purchase materials and products in large amounts or quantities, and that means they are able to get those things at lower rates than typical on-site builders. These savings are passed on to the homeowner. In other words, the homeowner is able to get high-quality construction, materials and products in their new home at a low price.
Affordable Luxury
The main reason people love mobile homes is the simple fact that these homes offer luxury living at affordable prices. This is a way for those living on a smaller to middle income to enjoy the advantages of having a modern home with all the comforts and conveniences of homes that typically cost much, much more.
About The Author:
Susan Murphy recently purchased a manufactured home. After learning all she could about mobile homes in California, Murphy made the decision to go with a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home and locate it in a manufactured home community. According to Murphy, she is now living in affordable luxury.

Colts rule out Heyward-Bey for Patriots game
Colts receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey will not play in Saturday's playoff game at New England.
Heyward-Bey did not practice all week because of a hamstring injury. Coach Chuck Pagano said Heyward-Bey was expected to miss at least a week and they signed former New England receiver Deion Branch to help fill the void.
Starting safety LaRon Landry and backup linebacker Josh McNary are listed as probable. Both have been full participants in practice this week after being diagnosed with concussions in last weekend's 45-44 victory over Kansas City in a wild-card game.
Nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who got some extra rest this week, and offensive lineman Khaled Holmes, who hurt his calf, were the only other players on Friday's injury report. Both are listed as probable.

Editor's NoteDirector John G. Avildsen's ROCKY is the stand-up-and-cheer saga of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), an underdog boxer who gets his million-to-one shot at love, self-respect, and the world heavyweight title. Rocky is a down-on-his-luck Philadelphia southpaw who works at a meat-packing factory while fighting at a local club. He's given the chance of a lifetime when the world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), chooses him as an unlikely opponent in his championship bicentennial fight. What was originally planned as a publicity stunt becomes a chance for Rocky to prove himself as a prizefighter while training with his cantankerous manager, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), to rise to the challenge. Thrilling scenes of Rocky's arduous training, including his unforgettable run up the Philadelphia Art Museum steps, are interspersed with a sweet and touching love story between the fighter and his best friend's shy sister, Adrian (Talia Shire). With the love of Adrian on his side, Rocky struggles to overcome the odds, fighting with all his heart in the glorious and brutal finale. Shot with gritty realism on the mean streets of Philadelphia, ROCKY introduced a new American cinematic hero, spurred on by rollicking action sequences and a rousing soundtrack. A triumph for star and screenwriter Stallone, who himself came from nowhere to reach the top, ROCKY is crowd-pleasing entertainment at its finest.

Prosodic style
The analysis of prosodic style begins with recognizing the metrical form the poet uses. Is the poet writing syllable-stress, strong-stress, syllabic, or quantitative metre? Or a nonmetrical prosody? Again, some theorists would not allow that poetry can be written without metre; the examples of Whitman and many 20th-century innovators, however, convinced most critics that a nonmetrical prosody is not a contradiction in terms but an obvious feature of modern poetry. Metre has not disappeared as an important element of prosody. Indeed, some of the greatest poets of the 20th century—William Butler Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens—revealed themselves as masters of the traditional metres. They also experimented with newer prosodies based on prose cadences, on expansions of the blank-verse line, and revivals of old forms—such as strong-stress and ballad metres. Also noteworthy are the "visual" prosodies fostered by the poets of the Imagist movement and by such experimenters as E.E. Cummings. Cummings revived the practice of certain 17th-century poets (notably George Herbert) of "shaping" the poem by typographic arrangements.
The prosodic practice of poets has varied enormously with the historical period, the poetic genre, and the poet's individual style. In English poetry, for example, during the Old English period (to 1100), the strong-stress metres carried both lyric and narrative verse. In the Middle English period (from c. 1100 to c. 1500), stanzaic forms developed for both lyric and narrative verse. The influence of French syllable counting pushed the older stress lines into newer rhythms; Chaucer developed for The Canterbury Tales a line of 10 syllables with alternating accent and regular end rhyme—an ancestor of the heroic couplet. The period of the English Renaissance (from c. 1500 to 1660) marks the fixing of syllable-stress metre as normative for English poetry. Iambic metre carried three major prosodic forms: the sonnet, the rhyming couplet, and blank verse. The sonnet was the most important of the fixed stanzaic forms. The iambic pentameter rhyming couplet (later known as the heroic couplet) was used by Christopher Marlowe for his narrative poem Hero and Leander (1598) and by John Donne in the early 17th century for his satires, his elegies, and his longer meditative poems. Blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter), first introduced into English in a translation by Henry Howard, earl of Surrey, published in 1557, became the metrical norm for Elizabethan drama. The period of the Renaissance also saw the refinement of a host of lyric and song forms; the rapid development of English music during the second half of the 16th century had a salutary effect on the expressive capabilities of poetic rhythms.

Two simple character concepts for a game contest
Hi, this is my first post here.
I try to post these two Character Concepts... this time to get some critique.
I have posted them on a Italian forum (not for critique) and they destroyed me . Not all of them but negative critiques are bigger number than positive.
So I try here. I am curious to see the result.

hey dude.
can you tell us what kind of game you are supposed to be concepting for? that would help lead to more constructive comments when we know what we're commenting on. things that bother me at the moment: the first girl's left leg (right side of the page) seems to be at an extremely odd angle relative to her body, seems like it would be painful; 2nd girl, only thing with her that looks funny to me is her hand that is holding the sword (?), with the angle that her arm is at, we should see less of the back of her hand and it should be more in perspective and turned away from the viewer. also the sword (?) handle looks out of perspective; it should be more tilted up than it is, because the blade (?) is tilted back towards the girl. other than that, more information will lead to more and better critiques, methinks. they are nice and clean; good job. hope you enjoy your stay on CA.org; take care.

This two concepts are only a part of the 20 I have done for the project but I prefer to not send all of them in only one post.
the first girl's left leg [...] seems to be at an extremely odd angle relative to her body, seems like it would be painful;
About the second girl I am absolutelly agree with you. The angle of the hand holding the sword (yes it is a Maya sword ) seams wrong and the handle of the sword is completly out of perspective.
The only thing I can say about that is that this concepts are in a really shetck stile, even if they are colored with watercolors.
they are nice and clean; good job. hope you enjoy your stay on CA.org; take care.
May 5th, 2006 #4
I agree with the above, but I certainly dont think these deserve to be 'destroyed' like you said. The lines and shading are confident and, although I think the hands are perhaps overly large (or is this a tool to make the character more expressive?) I think they work well.
The story sounds like something by Ken McLeod, and a fun opportunity to mix modern humans wih some cool advanced tech and wierd creatures; I hope you get the gig!
May 5th, 2006 #5
i agree with the above comments, also i think the faces may need a bit more work. especially in the first one, the eyes are looking in different directions.

Thank you all for your appreciations and also for usefull critiques.
@blexarady: about the overly large hands. Yes I tipically use large hands as an expressive tool. But, to be onest, sometimes i loose the controll of this expedient .
About the destructive comments I recived in the Italian forum, most of them commented that the concepts are not original and poor. But almost none of them critiqued composition and tecnique or anatomical aspects. Simply saying that my concepts do not move them.
@endercoskun: now that you have noticed the wrong direction of eyes I see the error. I think that probably the tufts confused my while I inked. I should pay more attention to these things.
Thank you.

hey dude, about the leg, i see what it is now: the way you shaded it made it look like it was pointing backwards. in that position, the knee should be pointing straight ahead from the hip, and the foot should be pointing slightly outward from that. if you slightly change the angle of her left foot and make it point a little more towards the viewer (instead of using a parallel line at the bottom, try a slightly diagonal line pointing in this direction, only a lot more flat ( \ ).
when you did the concepts, how did you go about developing them? did you do thumbnails and silhouettes and then pick the ones you liked best and developed them? if not, it is a really good technique you might like to try sometime. doing thumbnails and silhouettes saves you time in the end becuase it lets you get a lot of ideas down in a little time, and you won't spend hours developing something only to find that you don't like it at all and have to start from scratch again. anyway, good luck with the contest; take care.

Thank you very much for the suggestions purb36.
Yes I usaly do many and many simple sketches of poses. Exactly like silouettes. But this have been the very first time I tryed shading with colors.
And about shading I have improvised it without any guidelines. While pencils (contours) have been sudied a little more.
But, as you correctly noticed, contours studies are not enough when coloring.
About the contest, we did not win, but I still do not know the winner. The contest anyway is the Sony Yaroze 2006 contest for Playstation 3. I partecipated in team with a friend living in Japan, who concepted the story and some other characters and environments.

The Pinochet Principle
§ Hissein Habre ruled Chad between 1982 and 1990 with US and French military support, murdering and torturing thousands before his overthrow and flight to Senegal. Earlier this month the Senegalese government indicted Habre and placed him under house arrest in response to a complaint filed by his Chadian victims and several human rights organizations alleging murder, disappearance and torture. According to Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch, one of the plaintiff groups, "The Pinochet case helped a lot. It was only after the Pinochet decision that we felt this was a real possibility."
§ Idi Amin, dictator of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, slaughtered hundreds of thousands with baroque ferocity and summarily expelled tens of thousands of East Indians, uprooting an entire ethnic community that had deep roots in the country. He now lives a princely existence in a marble villa in Saudi Arabia, where the government has furnished him with cars, drivers and other sundries.
§ Mengistu Haile Mariam seized power in Ethiopia after the 1974 overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie. Mengistu, a Soviet client during most of his rule, killed and tortured thousands before he was overthrown in 1991, when he fled to Zimbabwe. The Ethiopian government has sought his return, so far to no avail. It also sought his extradition from South Africa recently when Mengistu traveled there for medical treatment, but the South African government rejected the request.
§ In a precedent-setting decision on January 24, the US Supreme Court denied an appeal from Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Seventh-Day Adventist pastor from Rwanda, who is fighting transfer from the United States to the international criminal tribunal in Tanzania for his role in the massacre of several hundred Tutsis during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Ntakirutimana, who was defended by former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, had fled to Texas to avoid arrest in Rwanda. If the deportation succeeds, it would be the first such expulsion to a current war crimes tribunal by the United States.
§ When he was defense minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon planned and led the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, during which he ordered the saturation bombing of heavily populated West Beirut, killing and maiming thousands of civilians with phosphorus and cluster bombs. Sharon then allowed the Lebanese Phalangist militia to enter the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, where they murdered up to 2,000 people when the camps were under tight Israeli Army control. (Amos Yaron, the general who held operational command of the Israeli Army in West Beirut and who observed the Phalangist operation through binoculars from a nearby rooftop, has recently been named Director General of the Defense Ministry by Prime Minister Ehud Barak.) Sharon is now head of Israel's opposition Likud Party.
§ Indonesia's Suharto, who finally left power in 1998 after thirty-two years of dictatorship, is living in Jakarta in very bad health and is said to be fearful of traveling to Europe for medical care because he might be subject to the Pinochet treatment. After he seized power in 1965-66, Suharto oversaw the massacre of some half a million Indonesians in an anti-Communist witch hunt. In 1975 he ordered the invasion of East Timor, after which about 200,000 people were murdered by the Indonesian armed forces--equipped and trained by the US government under both Democratic and Republican administrations--before Indonesia finally withdrew from the country this past fall.
§ Henry Kissinger was never a dictator--of the United States. But given that he was a chief architect of Richard Nixon's murderous escalation of the war in Southeast Asia, during which hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian civilians were killed, and that he helped engineer Salvador Allende's overthrow by Pinochet in 1973 and gave US endorsement to Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in 1975, Kissinger ranks with the dictators and war criminals on this list. He lives in elegance on Manhattan's East Side, traveling the world lecture circuit with the gravitas befitting a great diplomat.
In contrast with the deplorable record of the US government, US human rights organizations have been in the forefront in pursuing war criminals. The Center for Constitutional Rights has used the 200-year-old Alien Tort Claims Act and the 1992 Torture Victim Protection Act to win millions in civil damages against foreigners living in the United States who are guilty of crimes that render the perpetrator hostis humani generis, an "enemy of all mankind." In one of the most important of these rulings, in two civil suits against Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has held that a "private actor" can be liable for violations of international humanitarian law and that this is applicable even if the entity he represents--in this case the Republika Srpska--is not generally recognized as a state. The San Francisco-based Center for Justice & Accountability has brought three cases in US courts, and after the Pinochet arrest, Human Rights Watch set up an international justice initiative under advocacy director Brody to press for the extradition and prosecution of former dictators and war criminals.
The rapid pace of marketplace globalization, in which the power of national governments has been increasingly weakened, makes judicial globalization inevitable. The new International Criminal Court is a notable example of this trend. But justice will be served only if all human rights abusers--those who give the orders and their accomplices as well as those who carry out the crimes--are held accountable, and if the citizens of all nations, including the permanent five members of the UN Security Council, are judged by the same standards. The arrest of Pinochet, who until last year was thought to be immune to prosecution, is a magnificent advance in that direction.

Ridgway advanced to its second consecutive AML Championship game with a 51-37 victory over Elk County Catholic in the boys' basketball AML semifinal Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams are clicking at the right time of the year.
Just a week and a half removed from spoiling Ridgway's perfect season, the Rams (20-3) handily defeated DuBois Central Catholic 69-44 in the semifinals of the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] semifinals, setting up the Rams' fourth meeting with the Elkers (22-1) tonight in St. Marys for the AML crown.
Ridgway dropped Elk County Catholic for the second time this season, this time by a 51-37 score.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders advanced to tonight's Allegheny Mountain League championship game with a 43-26 victory over the Brockway Lady Rovers last night at the ECCHS gym.
Elk Catholic will meet the Kane Lady Wolves, who defeated the DuBois Central Lady Cardinals 53-47 last night at DuBois Central.
Last night at the ECCHS gym the Lady Crusaders opened a 12-4 lead after the first quarter, then scored the first eight points of the second period to take a 20-4 lead before Brockway could get on the board in the second eight minute stanza.
ST. MARYS – The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch picked up a 67-31 senior night victory over the Ridgway Lady Elkers on Friday evening at St. Marys Area High School.
The Lady Dutch led all the way, taking a 19-7 first-period advantage, leading 36-12 at the half, and 52-20 at the end of three quarters.
"It was a nice win on senior night recognizing our three seniors. They played well tonight," said St. Marys coach Leona Hoohuli.
The 13th installment of the Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous starts today and event organizers couldn't be happier with their plans for the week.
In addition to carvers doing their thing on South Broad Street to Center Street, then Center Street down to Mill Street, and Court Street as well, they also will be performing at other locations.
Pennsylvania residents who want to support breast cancer research and programs can do so simply by checking off a box on their state tax return.
The PA Breast Cancer Coalition's "Refunds for Research" campaign allows residents to donate part or all of their state refund by checking "yes" on line 35 of their PA 40 tax form. Kevin Smith, communications director for the nonprofit coalition, said for most people, directing their refund to the coalition on their tax return is an easy way of charitable giving.
Loretta R. Quattrone, age 79, of 222 Spruce St., Ridgway, died early Friday morning, Feb. 17, 2012, at Elk Haven Nursing Home following a lengthy illness.
She was born Nov. 27, 1932, in Ridgway, daughter of the late Clifford and Frances (Unick) Emmett. She married Joseph Quattrone on June 11, 1949; he survives.
The Ridgway YMCA will again rely on donations for this year's "Sustaining Campaign" in an effort to continue to provide various programs and sustain the popular North Broad Street location in downtown Ridgway.
"Our small town YMCA offers as many programs as larger YMCAs at the fraction of the cost and we are able to do this with the help of this campaign," said Mary Lynne Bellotti, executive director of the Ridgway YMCA. "Our YMCA is a unique little YMCA-- we take pride in being able to offer something for everyone."
At the Elk County Courthouse in Ridgway on Thursday, Jonathan Joseph Bilodeau, 20, of St. Marys, was sentenced for the offense of sexual abuse of children, a felony of the third degree.
Bilodeau pleaded guilty in August to the charge, which stems from a July 22, 2010 incident in which Bilodeau distributed child pornography to a Pennsylvania State Trooper via a peer-to-peer file-sharing program on his laptop computer. The file contained a one-minute, 31-second video of a child under the age of 18 years old engaging in a sexual act.
ST. MARYS – Some people really are out for your blood - but that's not always a bad thing. Just ask Wendy McCoy, a phlebotomist at Elk Regional Health Center since June 2011.
McCoy, a 1986 graduate of Ridgway Area High School, moved back to the area from Kitanning about two years ago and works part-time at ERHC.
Phlebotomists draw blood from a patient's veins to collect samples for testing. McCoy said "phlebotomist" comes from the Greek word "phlebos," which means "vein."
"It basically means specializing in veins," McCoy said.

Wonderful Cabin
My wife and I, 16 and 11 year old daughters spent a week at this Mountainview Lake cabin. We had a wonderful time. The cabin is very clean, sound construction and spacious. We cooked meals out of the kitchen as well as the grill provided in front of the cabin's screened in porch. The lake is to die for! Very clean, sandy approach at the beach. Very relaxing experience, I highly recommend this rental.

AUTUN (France): Germany's yellow jersey contender Andreas Kloden gave his Astana team a scare by tumbling into a ditch during the fifth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday.
Kloden tumbled into a ditch at the left-hand side of the road, near the 107km mark of the 182.5km ride from Chablis to Autun, as the peloton continued their pursuit of a four-man breakaway.
The German, a runner-up in 2004 and who finished third in the race last year, lay briefly on the ground before getting back on his bike and continuing the stage. It was unclear whether he had sustained any injuries in the fall.
Lancaster abandons
Australian sprinter Brett Lancaster pulled out of the Tour de France during the race's fifth stage.
Thor wins fourth stage
Meanwhile, Thor Hushovd of Norway won the fourth stage on Wednesday, and Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara kept the overall lead for a fifth straight day.
Hushovd won in a sprint at the end of the mostly flat 193-kilometre ride from Villers-Cotterets to Joigny.
"Everything took place superbly well," said Hushovd, who finished in 4 hours, 37 minutes, 47 seconds for his fifth Tour stage win. "I'm too happy."
Robert Hunter of South Africa was second, and Oscar Freire of Spain was third. They and the trailing pack, which included Cancellara, finished with the same time as Hushovd.
After the previous day's desperate chase of a four-man breakaway had led to Cancellara's shock win, the peloton were in no mood to endure a similar scenario.
In the latter stages, the bunch proved positively more alert as they chased down a five-man break which had formed at the 31.5km mark thanks to Frenchman Mathieu Sprick, whose attack prompted four other riders, including former stage winner Juan Antonio Flecha of Rabobank, to join in.

Australian tycoon to sue Murdoch, claims estranged wife is 'Chinese spy'
Published on Sep 5, 2013 11:24 AM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Flamboyant Australian billionaire Clive Palmer on Thursday said he plans to sue Rupert Murdoch over unflattering allegations and claimed the media mogul's estranged wife is a Chinese spy.
Mr Palmer, best known for building a replica of the Titanic and who is running for election in Australia on Saturday, seethed over a comment piece questioning his wealth and whether he was indeed a university professor and a mining magnate, as he claims.
Mr Murdoch's flagship The Australian ran the story on its front page under the headline "Why we need to worry about the real Mr Palmer", alleging he was "a man with a history of peddling fantasies that often morph into a unique version of 'reality'".
According to the latest polls, the Palmer United Party is on track to win a Senate seat in his home state of Queensland and the daily said it would allow him to "exert his unsubtle influence in Canberra".

Known for being fiercely independent, Sharmishta Mukherjee (48), daughter of president Pranab Mukherjee, who all these years refused to live under the shadow of her father, has now ultimately followed his path. She jumped into the hurly-burly world of politics, joining the Congress on Monday.
Despite representing the first family, a nobility which comes with privileges and protocol she has preferred an ordinary life, living in her own three-bed room flat in Greater Kailash rather in the spacious Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Questions are, however, being raised on her admission in the Delhi unit of Congress rather than West Bengal. Many in Congress believe, she should have worked to use Pranabda's legacy to strengthen party in West Bengal, where it is facing an onslaught.
She, however, defends joining Delhi unit of Congress, saying "I have lived in Delhi, grown up here. It is my city."
But politicians in West Bengal say, her father didn't want to rock boat of his son Abhijit Mukherjee, who won Lok Sabha elections with the tacit support of Trinamool Congress. Both siblings jostling for tickets and competing for a political space could have been an embarrassment for the party.
Sharmishta's friends recall that she would never take advantage of the power of her father. They recall that Iran government was in for a shock a few years back when they had held a group of Indians alongwith Sharmishta who was on a road trip through central Asia for want of proper papers.
Despite prodding by her friends, she refused to call either embassy or her father back home. It was later when Indian embassy came to know of identity of persons, they informed the shocked Iran government.
Iranian foreign minister in the middle of night called Pranab Mukherjee, then external affairs minister, telling him, his government was taking good care of his daughter. Mukherjee himself was puzzled and it took some explaining before he could realize what had happened.
Over past one year, she has stepped in to help her mother Suvra to become official hostess during high-profile state visits. But now jumping into politics and plans to contest Delhi elections, possibility from Greater Kailash, Sharmishta told dna, she wants to end even this feeble connection with Rashtrapati Bhawan.
