"While previous retrospective studies suggested a link between obesity and pancreatic cancer survival, the prospective nature of this study makes the findings more reliable. An interesting aspect of this study is that it suggests that obesity, particularly chronic obesity, increases the risk of death from pancreatic cancer. This study, however, could not distinguish if the increased risk of death was due to metabolic and inflammatory changes that accompany obesity or due to other health complications of obesity."

Niemann sharp, leads Rays over Brewers
MILWAUKEE Jeff Niemann and the Tampa Bay Rays are hoping the right-hander can build on this polished performance.
Niemann tossed six scoreless innings in his return from a back injury and the Rays beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-4 on Monday night in their first-ever appearance at Miller Park.
"To pitch that well really gets you going in the right direction, no question about that. You're always going to have those negative thoughts in the back of your head that you've got to squash somehow," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I'd like to believe what he did tonight is going to bolster his confidence a bit and get him ready for the next outing."
Niemann (2-4) was on the disabled list for 45 days with a strained lower back, but he said it felt fine Monday night and he looked comfortable while using his big curveball to hold the Brewers to four hits while striking out five.
"Everything felt great," Niemann said. "The biggest thing is it's just nice to be back and be in this clubhouse and be a contributing member of the team again. That was the hardest thing while I was down on the DL, they've been playing great and it was good to chip in."
Tampa Bay gave Niemann an early run against Chris Narveson (4-5) and tacked on seven more late, including four in the seventh and Evan Longoria's three-run shot in the eighth.
"They're tough to beat at home," Longoria said. "To get Game 1 out of the way and get a win is a big momentum boost being here and moving forward."
Jonathan Lucroy homered for Milwaukee, which was without left fielder Ryan Braun because of a respiratory infection. The Brewers fell a half-game out of first place in the NL Central, trailing the idle Cardinals.
The Rays have won four straight and 10 of 14, but this one was in doubt until the seventh.
With Tampa Bay clinging to a 1-0 lead, Kelly Shoppach walked, reached second on a sacrifice and scored on pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano's double.
Narveson got the second out, but Ben Zobrist hit an RBI double and Longoria and B.J. Upton each singled in runs to make it 5-0 as Tampa Bay batted around.
Longoria connected against Mark DiFelice for his sixth homer, making it 8-1. The All-Star third baseman began the day in a 2-for-24 rut that dropped his June batting average to .196.
"After the series I had at home where I hit four or five balls hard right at guys, sometimes you need those to get going," said Longoria, who believed his homer would've been a routine out at Tropicana Field.
Maddon isn't concerned with Longoria's lack of offense.
"He's going to get hot, real hot," Maddon said. "He's a definite grinder. You will never hear an excuse out of his mouth. He holds himself to high standards."
Leading by seven, Maddon let outfielder Sam Fuld, who had entered in the pitcher's spot as a pinch hitter, warm up on the mound before the eighth. Reliever Cesar Ramos then came in and allowed two runs to make it 8-3.

Thread: Amphsix's Sketchbook
March 12th, 2013 #1
Amphsix's Sketchbook
Time to make a sketchbook on this forum, it is long overdue! I could really use all the help and critique you'd be willing to share with me. I am looking to improve all the technical aspects of art (anatomy, values, colour, perspective, etc) as well as expand my conceptual side (so recommend me books/movies/artists you think would help with my ideas!).
I've been drawing for over 10 years, but lack serious practise in a lot of basics. For most of my teen years I just drew animals and anthropomorphics, it's only been a few years since I picked up humans seriously. I really enjoy it so I want to get better at it. Same goes for environments, I am pretty bad at it, so I'll just have to push through the bad and keep on going. I'm aware of my weaknesses but am willing to improve. I'm certainly not going to give up.
I'll attempt to upload regularly.
EDIT 28-08-2013: So it's been over a year and a half now since I started this sketchbook, and unfortunately I've not been able to stick to my self-promise to update regularly. This is mostly been due to the realities of life... but also a bit with my disillusion in art. Although I have progressed, I have not progressed as much or as far as I had hoped 5 years ago. I'm still in the process of taking a good hard look at myself, and figuring out what to do with that realisation. That doesn't mean in any way I am giving up, no way! It simply means I need to reassess what I expect from myself and how to balance optimism/pessimism, motivation and time. I want to make a more concious effort to work on my skills, and hopefully give myself better incentives as to why I am doing this.

Ok so since I am still newly registered to this site it's difficult to start uploading right off the bat (system isn't sure yet wether I am a bot or a genuine human ) So I guess I'll get involved in a bunch of other threads and try and help others before I start uploading my own sketchbook~
March 15th, 2013 #3
Here's a first batch then, after 20 or so posts on CA.org =D
These are a few "highlights" from the past few weeks. Next posts are definitely going to include more studies and works in (earlier) progress. Some of these aren't finished yet, but it's to sort of show where I want to go. Currently focussing on the human face (which I am still relatively inexperienced with) and environments (they do drive me mad... but I'm going to keep on going!)
Feel free to crit any of this, I know I have loads to improve on.
March 15th, 2013 #4
Studies man, lots and lots of studies.
Even of boring shit like sloth or dirt, just keep plugging at it, every study is adding something to your toolkit, teaching you a little bit about light, form, anatomy etc.
Good start though, keep going.

Thanks a lot! I'll be sure to keep at it. It'll be difficult to find something I find boring to draw... I don't know.. it seems like everything has at least -some- visually interesting aspect going haha. Maybe I'll just have to look for more random things to draw.
March 18th, 2013 #6
Ok super quick update after having had a busy weekend.
So here's a little WIP creature design. Just me trying to visualize a type of creature from a short story I'm writing. Yeah, writing is my second passion, after art.
Tried my hand on a little translucency here and there... but I'm by no means good at it. Time to start drawing jellyfish!
March 18th, 2013 #7
Tiny bit more rendering and some simple effects... Also slapped in a background colour just to see what it would look like. They do live in a very saturated and bright environment, so maybe I should draw it properly some time soon.
March 21st, 2013 #8
I really like your colour choices!
As Inkthyosaur said, studies are a great practice. Draw/paint from life as much as you can - it really helps broaden your imagination when you get to unique creations (by the way, I love that creature. I want to catch it and ride it)
It seems you're staying pretty strictly to a single brush setting. Try experimenting with some others to get different textures onto your paintings. (This is something I still need to get the hang of, haha)
Looking forward to watching your journey
Book at my Sketchlook!

Hey Brakken! =) Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Funny you said that about brushes, I was thinking the same thing. I see some of these artists using brushes very masterfully, but whenever I attempt it it looks very... well... photoshopped. Like there is no cohesion between the different brushes. To help myself, I made my own brush file a few days ago, containing some of my favourites. Hopefully that will encourage me more to use different brushes and see if I can use them properly some day.
What I sometimes do, but doesn't show up in the works I have posted thusfar, is overlay a texture when the piece is near-finished. However, I have grown to find this a bit of a cheap trick in recent years. It can still look good, and it's certainly a great way to help concept art along, but it would be great to get some of the texture into the actual work, instead of an overlay.
March 22nd, 2013 #10
I haven't had a lot of time to focus on drawing in the last few days. I did draw and practise a fair bit in my dummy, but the lack of a scanner is kind of limiting and prevents me from showing what I've done.
As I am kinda busy with a website design job I'll just post a few wips.
Still practising environments, a correct perspective helps things along tremendously.

Wow I absolutely love your paintings, so warm!, I can definitely see a signature style here. For the portraits, the proportions seems a bit off, especially the boy with the blue eyes. Definitely work on heads and body - that's my goal for this year.
PS we have so much sililarities, I also need a scanner, getting serious with concepting and im also from the netherlandse! Though i live in London now, I'm from New Den Helder! good to meet you! We moeten vrienden zijn!
March 27th, 2013 #12
@ AliSaid: Thank you for the feedback! Improving on human anatomy is definitely one of my goals this year as well. I'll be sure to keep practising proportions. Good to meet another Dutch person I live in Den Bosch myself, although I am soon moving to the UK (so yet another thing we have in common) because my significant other lives there and my studies are soon coming to an end.
Currently in college and I noticed I hadn't updated my external HDD, so not much new digital work to add until I get home. However, my college does have a scanner, so here is a tiny backlog of sketches from my dummy.
March 27th, 2013 #13

Really liking your concepts. Very interesting character designs and environments. It looks like you are doing all the right things to improve your skills, thumbnails, gesture/figure drawings, etc. Keep doing studies as well, I like the soda bottle you did. Keep it up mate!
March 27th, 2013 #16
Wow! Thanks guys for the nice comments!
Decided to give myself a little challenge to keep practising. I've done gesture drawings plenty of times, 20-30 seconds and such... but I feel like I want to draw less poses in my practise, and put a little more focus on each one. So I'm going to do a daily challenge to draw 5 poses of 10 minutes each. This here is my first try. Every upload will be a separate image, but I'm actually going to do each batch in the same photoshop file, so it extends downwards. Maybe after a month or so I can have a big file that shows my improvement (hopefully). I've divided my time as such: 5 minutes line drawing, 5 minutes blocking in super-basic shading and light.
Other picture is a quick colour test with a run-of-the-mill fluffy dragon anthropomorph.
March 27th, 2013 #17
Some nice work here Amphsix. I don't have a lot of experience with photoshop and brushes but I've watched a lot of videos by Feng Zhu, who says a lot that it doesn't matter what brushes you use (he uses one or two most of the time for paintings, then a few others for small effects: textures, atmospheric fog, ect... ) Anatomy and gestures (imo) helps to improve quickly and give a lot of understanding of the underlying form, movement and (for gestures) composition. Pardon the babbling, lol. All in all, good job, and keep at it!

Here's my second 5x10 minute poses submission. I did this really early in the morning and I had trouble focussing as I was still feeling somewhat sleepy, but not too bad, I think.
For the other picture, copypaste from my tumblr: "So me and my BF watch both Parks and Recreation and MLP:FiM. I have long argued that, like the Lion king lionfied everything, MLP had already ponified everything under the sun. Turns out after a few minutes of googling, no-one had Ponified Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation as of yet, which I found rather miraculous. So I took it upon myself to change this fact and this is what came out."
I sometimes like drawing cartoons. I've done some fan-art for Cartoon Network's Adventure Time and Regular Show before... it's just a nice change from my usual drawing style. Also, I love MLP like I love every other show I watch. I'm pretty much a all eater when it comes to shows. Drama, hospital, cops, comedy, sci-fi, cartoons and that includes sappy girly prancy ponies, give me all of them!
March 28th, 2013 #20
Some more stuff because I was feeling particularly active tonight. First one is a 15-minutes sketch to practise using different brushes together and some extreme colours. I'm quite happy how the depth of the "particles" turned out, could possibly be quite interesting for future projects.
The second one is a practise sketch, human faces again, still trying to get better at it. It's Picard from Star Trek, in case anyone -doesn't- know him. Still from one of the first episodes. I might draw some more faces tomorrow, got quite a few good ideas on who to use as examples. I'll try to get my examples as diverse as possible (so not just pretty young white people).

@Xizt: Well it actually does have a purpose... it's not an entirely random design, part of a project I've been involved in for a while now, though I can't disclose much about that atm. I just needed a subject to practise these colours on haha.
Almost forgot to upload my 5x10 for today. It's already way past midnight... but what can I say, night owl. I drew it this morning when I was feeling a bit off, and it shows. These poses are a lot less bold than the previous 2 days. My mood has a rather big influence on the way I draw. I'll attempt to get back on my "normal" style tomorrow, with a bit more confidence and certainty.
Second, here's another portrait. I spent quite a lot more time on this one than Picard yesterday. It's the character Donna from the show Parks and Recreation. I used a still from the episode "time capsule". There was never a more sassy amazing black lady in any show ever. Her wide eyes crazy expressions always make me smile. Yeah I totally cheated with her shirt, but I didn't want to get too hung up on details here. I wanted to do a portrait that was reasonably realistic within a short amount of time (in this case, 2 hours). I am rather satisfied with it... I seem to have learned a fair bit about human faces just by copying what I see. Improvement feels good, man.

Moar anatomy, more studies. You're going to kill it.
March 30th, 2013 #24
Hey man, i see the interesting creature, but yeah, you need more fundamentals. If you like creature, u need Anatomy above all

Hope to find friends here.

1. Today's 5x10, decided to leave out light and shadow for now and focus the full 10 minutes on getting the form as correct as I could.
2. 1-hour study of some noses and ears.
3. I decided to open up a few character designs I had made a while back (a month ago or so) and decided to use what I have learned recently to improve on them. These are only super-fast sketches, but I can already see a number of improvements. I have about 10 character profiles to finish for a college assignment by the end of June. The reason why I'm practising so hard is because I want these to be as good as I can possibly get them, working away my weaknesses and observing better from reference material and general technical skill. We'll see where I'll be in 2-3 months time...
March 30th, 2013 #26
Hey, first off I want to say I love that Parks & Rec pony, the mustache is spot on haha. Only seen a few episodes myself as it started airing in the UK a couple of weeks ago now. Anyway I love your use of colour in your original pieces, but watch your skin tones, they look a little murky (I'm guilty of this myself) sometimes, don't be afraid to experiment with them to make them look a little more lively.. I'm sure reference will help with this a lot better than I'm explaining. Also rad enviro thumbnails, you should try doing some more of those some time. Keep it up!

Didn't get to do a whole lot today, with it being Easter Sunday and all.
I did free some time to do my daily 5x10. I'm attempting to do little variations here and there. This time I took an opposite approach, work from the shadows or highlights or both. Give it form without using lines first. Useful stuff to learn for certain.
April 1st, 2013 #28
So again didn't have much time to do stuff today. But I did my 5x10 a little more exploratively. Also a perspective drawdle trying out some ideas and just keeping stuff fresh in my mind for what I'm going to do this week.
April 2nd, 2013 #29
5x10 of today, still sketchy, trying to find the flow in the pose. I've started reading a book about force in life drawing by Mike Mattesi. The book is actually meant for animators, but it might be very useful for me as well. I often find my drawings to static, and have difficulty bringing my characters "to life". I'm going to try an adapt these ideas in my future daily pose drawings.
The other two drawings depict two characters, one is mine, the other is a friend's. Still playing with (unconventional) colours and roughness, taking a non-linear approach to making a pleasing image. It's easy to get stuck in the same pattern of making an image, but these kind of drawings are meant to shake me from it.
April 5th, 2013 #30
Been occupied with an assessment for college the last few days, but here's a bunch of practise drawings again.
With the charcoal drawings I was trying to capture the motion of the pose, the bare essence without focussing on the anatomy and little details. I still need some more work on this, but I'm getting there. Also, this marks my first filled page on CA.org, yay, hopefully many more will follow.

METAIRIE, La. Nine players missed practice Tuesday, including receiver Marques Colston for the fourth consecutive time and right tackle Jon Stinchcomb.
Colston has been 'resting' his right knee for the past five days, including Monday's off day, while Stinchcomb took a day off to let his left leg recover after offseason surgery to repair his left quadriceps.
Meanwhile, linebacker Ezra Butler (left hamstring), receiver Jarred Fayson (left ankle), receiver Adrian Arrington (left ankle), cornerback Fabian Washington (left hamstring), linebacker Ramon Humber (right quad), tackle Roger Allen (left knee) and tackle Alex Barron (left knee) all sat out.
Running back Chris Ivory (left foot, sports hernia), cornerback Tracy Porter (left knee) and defensive end Greg Romeus (right knee) continue to reside on the failed physical list.

Getting back to basics with Arch Linux
If you're looking for a fast, stable system without the GUI goo, try Arch Linux.
The recent emphasis of the Linux community has been on desktop distros that make it easy to install and configure the system without venturing beyond the GUI. Despite the success of these beginner-friendly systems, a significant segment of the Linux population prefers a simpler approach. These back-to-basics users want clarity, stability, and speed, and they do not care about the proliferation of redundant tools and glossy configuration helpers that populate the GUI-based systems. In the past, no-frills Linux users gravitated to systems such as Slackware, Gentoo, or Debian, but another back-to-basics distro is gaining favor among the Linux faithful: Arch Linux. Arch Linux [1] was started by Judd Vinet in 2001 when he discovered that he couldn't find any other distribution that met his ideals. Arch has taken ideas from Debian, Gentoo and Slackware, and has gradually evolved into a simple, powerful, and stable distribution with an active user and developer population.

And if you want to fly, at first you must fall. My friend gets caught out in a rutted mud section. Both he and the bike came out of this UNSCATHED.

The ExGay Deception and God's Grace
By John J. SmidMy heart is grieving today for all of the men and women who have spent the majority of their lives praying, seeking, and hoping for deliverance from their homosexual attractions. For over four decades there has been a faulty message conveyed that people can change. A deceptive message that most often caused many to believe that they could experience a change in sexual orientation from gay to straight.Begging at the altars of their churches, praying on their knees at their … [Read more...]
"And a Merry Christmas to You, Mr. Netanyahu!"
By Shalom Goldman, Duke UniversityAmerican Jews have long struggled with the Christmas Season. It may not be our holiday, many Jews have felt, but it is after all a great American holiday. How then are we to relate to it?For more traditional Jews, the national Christmas celebration generates anxiety about their place in the American religious landscape. In the second half of the 20th century, as Jews became more assimilated to American society, that anxiety was reduced in two ways: by … [Read more...]
The Real Mistake Behind "Mistaken Identity"
By Harleen KaurThis past Saturday, a man that I look up to and respect deeply was attacked while going for a walk with a friend in Harlem. I met Dr. Prabhjot Singh, a professor at Columbia University, and his family this summer while I was interning in New York City. Although I was only there for a couple months, the love and compassion with which he and his wife treated me was moving.

Johnny Cash Is In the Promised Land
By Shalom Goldman, Duke UniversityJohnny Cash died on September 12, 2003, and as we approach the tenth anniversary of his death, his reputation as an American musical master seems only to grow. His recordings continue to sell briskly, particularly the Bootleg items released by Columbia Records. When I mentioned him to the college freshmen in my classes, who were born in 1994-5, they all knew Cash's music. Many had seen the 2005 film about Cash, Walk the Line.That film was very good at d … [Read more...]
Religion, State, and Soccer in Israel
by Shalom Goldman, Duke University Throughout the world sports fans can be roused to emotional extremes of enthusiasm, euphoria, and despair that seem almost religious in nature. The only other public manifestation of emotion that comes close to sports in its intensity is at rock and roll concerts—and these concerts are increasingly held in sports stadiums. Also, more and more American sports greats are willing and eager to speak publicly about their Evangelical Christian commitments. These p … [Read more...]
"Judaism" or "Jewishness"?

God Speed: "Race Cars for Peace" in the Holy City
By Shalom Goldman, Duke UniversityIn the US, spectator sports and religious conviction often go hand in hand. Americans are used to players, and teams, who pray and play, invoking Jesus before, during, and after games. This happens on the basketball court, in baseball stadiums, and on football fields. And it is most notable on stock car racetracks, where prayers, along with game results, are often heard over the public address systems. The tone and style of this sports religiosity is that of … [Read more...]

Cape Town - South Africa showed off its security muscle for the 2010 World Cup on Thursday to convince skeptics the first tournament in Africa will be safe and secure.
The daylong exercise included helicopters flying overhead and special task force members abseiling from the roof of the new Greenpoint Stadium.
"We are ready. We were ready yesterday," national police commissioner Bheki Cele said as the host country showed off part of the $89m worth of security equipment it has bought to keep fans safe at football's biggest tournament.
Police minister Nathi Mthethwa also watched as South Africa's police earlier paraded water cannons, boats, jet skis, motorcycles and heavy duty emergency disaster vehicles through Cape Town's main square before the display at Greenpoint Stadium.
"We have prepared ourselves for anything from the pettiest of criminal acts to the largest of terrorism threats," Mthethwa said.
"We have been preparing since 2004," he said, the year South Africa won the right to host Africa's first football World Cup. "It's all systems go."
A high rate of violent crime, as well as recent racial tensions following the murder of a renowned white supremacist leader, has led many to view South Africa as an unsafe destination.
"South Africa will host the safest and most secure World Cup," Mthethwa insisted. "Failure is not even a part of our vocabulary.
"We don't have to prove to anyone that we are ready," he said, although it was clear that Thursday's extensive display of readiness was designed to show the world the country was capable of offering a safe event.
Hostage negotiators, bomb disposal experts, the diving unit, specialists from forensic laboratories as well as air force and navy members were just part of Thursday's participants.
Mthethwa said South Africa was ready to guard the monthlong event against international terrorism.
He said officials were aware of al-Qaida-linked threats against the World Cup, and in particular against the United States-England group game, on Jihadist forums.
"It's not the first time they have been made and our agencies are not sleeping," Mthethwa said. "They are working. They are on the ball."
There are fears in South Africa that a more realistic threat to the June 11 - July 11 tournament will come from some of the country's own unhappy citizens.
Mthethwa said threats from "certain entities" in South Africa would not be tolerated amid concerns right-wing groups and workers unhappy with wages and their standard of living will use the tournament to air grievances.
"No one will disrupt the World Cup," Mthethwa said, or they will face the "wrath of the law."
Cele, who laughed and joked with Mthethwa during more lighthearted parts of the celebrations, said the 44 000 police officers dedicated exclusively to the World Cup showed South Africa's preparations were extensive. He said South Africa would be safe before, during and after the World Cup.
"42 days is too long," Cele said regarding the numbers of days remaining until the World Cup kicks off. "We want it yesterday."
Cele also said South Africa had been working with police forces in Europe to ensure troublesome foreign fans would not find their way to the World Cup.
Cele said he had assurances from British police that 3 000 banned British fans, who have a history of hooliganism at major football tournaments, would not be allowed to travel to South Africa.
"Even if they do sneak in," he said, "they will be leaving even faster."

NMU leaders meet RTC Managing Director and seek 18 p.c. hike in wages
Other unions take exceptionSWF to serve notice on Wednesday
HYDERABAD: The National Mazdoor Union (NMU), the recognised trade union in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), served a strike notice on the management on Tuesday even as differences have cropped up among other unions.
A delegation of NMU leaders, comprising president M. Nageswara Rao and general secretary Syed Mehmood, met APSRTC Managing Director M.V. Krishna Rao and submitted the notice demanding, among other things, an 18 per cent wage hike and regularisation of the services of casual drivers and conductors recruited till 1999.
The union invoked legal provisions seeking a solution to its demands within 21 days through negotiations at various levels failing which it threatened to launch a strike.
Move questioned
Meanwhile, at a press conference R. Laxmaiah, secretary, CITU-affiliated Staff and Workers' Federation (SWF), questioned the NMU move in serving the strike notice without taking the other unions into confidence. He said the SWF would serve a separate notice on the management on Wednesday.
Apart from the wage hike, the SWF's demands include withdrawal of GO 94 pertaining to routes allocated to private operators and the other move of Government proposing to increase overlapping of routes by private players from eight to 25 kilometres, which would severely cut in to the APSRTC's revenues. Also, Mr. Laxmaiah said they would seek to focus Government attention on running of SETWIN buses in the State Capital.
In defence, Mr. Nageswara Rao said according to the agreement with the management signed on October 19 last year, the other unions had agreed to the NMU shouldering the responsibility as a recognised union to take up the issue of wage hike and get justice for employees.
The AITUC-affiliated APSRTC Employees' Union recalled the NMU admitting that it could not do justice on its own. In such a scenario, when there was no option other than going on strike, it was the recognised union's responsibility to constitute a united platform before taking up an agitation, union general secretary K. Padmakar said.

If you're a 3.5, play at 4.0 if you want to move up. There is no reason why a 3.5 person should be playing anything lower than 4.0 if they want to move up. Playing 3.5 is just asking for problems, more-so if the person wanting to move up cannot mentally deal with the junkballers and pushers out there in the 3.5 and below leagues.
I disagree, rather strongly actually.
If you are 3.5 and wish to be 4.0, but you cannot dominate 3.0/3.5 players because they hit so much junk and crap and garbage, then you seriously need to work on your technique and you are not ready to move up.
Brace yourselves for this little rant that is coming, because here it comes.
Ladies and others who want to move up and are within the sound of my voice:
You need to knock it off. If you cannot beat someone who does not hit with pace, you are not as good as you think you are.
If you miss because someone is pushing or lobbing or hitting like a 2.5, the problem is that *you* have crap technique.
If you do manage to claw your way up to the next level before learning to deal with junkballers, pushers and slow-ballers, do you know what awaits you? Opponents who will test you to see if you can handle junk, that's what. If you cannot, you will see junk all night.
I can tell you that if someone is beating my best strokes, one of the first things I will try is taking off pace, especially on balls my opponent needs to volley. Their poor technique will be my best friend.
If you want to move up, play your level and play it well. Play up also. But play your level and *crush* anyone who dares to get on the same court with you and stink the place up.
Sorry for the rant, but as a captain of 7.5 combo and 4.0 ladies, I just can't take it anymore. The next one of my doubles pairs that comes off the court after a loss to a couple of pushers, complaining that their opponent "didn't give them any pace," is gonna get an earful from me.

Tigers end Eagles' 3-game Filoil run
ALJON Mariano took over in the final two minutes as University of Santo Tomas dealt Ateneo its first loss with a 63-57 decision yesterday in the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup at Filoil Flying V Arena.
Mariano pumped in six of the Tigers' last 10 points in a key run that snapped the Tigers' six-minute scoreless spell and put them ahead for good in the rematch of last season's UAAP finals.
La Salle picked up a second straight win with the veterans leading the charge this time in the Green Archers' 98-61 dumping of winless Southwestern University.
Adamson also had a thrilling start as Don Trollano nailed the game-winning free throws to lift the Falcons to a 68-67 escape over Far Eastern University.
Trollano picked up a foul off Terrence Romeo with 17.4 seconds left after the Tamaraws had grabbed the lead, 67-66, on an Anthony Hargrove basket with 34.4 ticks remaining.
Mariano finished with 19 points, while Karim Abdul had 14 markers and 11 boards to lead the Tigers to their first win in two outings.
"We reminded him (Mariano) that he has to be our leader," said assistant mentor Estong Ballesteros, who called the shots for indisposed coach Pido Jarencio.
The Eagles, who went scoreless in the final two minutes, absorbed their first loss in four games.
Almond Vosotros fired nine of his 17 points from three-point range and dished out five assists for the Archers, whose standout rookies starred in their opening-day win over UST.

Mondel?z International on Thursday announced that it will focus on four key categories of chocolates; gum, candy and powdered beverages; biscuits; and cheese and grocery, under a new operating model. The model, which will be effective from January 1, 2015, has led to several new appointments and has redefined the responsibilities and portfolios of several leaders across the company, it said in a late evening statement.
Manu Anand, currently President, India and MD of Mondelez India Foods (MIFL), will take on the role of President, Regional Category Team, Chocolate, and will oversee the chocolate business across the region. Chandramouli Venkatesan, who was earlier Regional Category Team Head Chocolates, will take the role of MD of MIFL.
Manu Anand, who joined a year ago, was responsible for leading the growth of Mondelez International in India. Chandramouli Venkatesan, earlier the RCT head, was responsible for facilitating and driving collaboration in the areas of strategy, brand and innovation, while delivering operational excellence in the chocolate category.
The company's businesses in Europe and North America have already transitioned to this new operating model, as Asia Pacific continued to operate on a country led model.
Under this new operating model, the Regional Category Teams (RCTs) will assume full P&L responsibility for their respective categories at a regional level. The category structure will enable the global organisation move towards a consistent operating model worldwide, providing categories with an opportunity to grow global brands, launch new innovation platforms, share best practices, create best-in-class cost leadership to drive margins, achieve operating excellence and enhance capabilities.

Re: Crysis CPU/GPU benchmarks, post your's
FearMeAll is right. The pixels doesn't get compressed as it does on CRT monitors when you raise the resolution. The difference between 1024x768 and 1600x1200 is phenomenal on my 21" CRT in games like crysis. And at maxres 2048x1340 it looks amazing, very sharp and detailed, no need for AA, but the performance hit is huge.

I tried a low resolution LCD once ,I gave it away.
LCD needs a very high native resolution without AA.
No i mean LCD... The pixels stay the same size but as the screen is bigger you need more pixels to fill out the native resolution. In both cases you dont compress the pixels as you do with CRT monitors when you up the res.
And even big LCD's like 24" and 30" needs AA at their native res. IT doesn't get better only because the monitor is bigger. If you could run at 1920x1200 at a 20 or 22" sized LCD it would be kickass, but LCD's doesn't work that way.
Edit, i found a 22" LCD that does support 1920x1200. Its the Lenovo L220X! Awesome

Quality aluminum frame kits. I've ordered from them several times. Each frame part is wrapped in brown paper before shipping so they arrive scratch free and clean. Every once a while, I order a bunch of frame kits in common sizes so I can frame most anything I want anytime.
For glass, you could either get some cheap frames from a local discount/closeout retailer and discard the inferior frames, or get a local glass place to cut you a stack. Either source, you'll need to clean the glass well before you use it.

The excitement that comes with the announcements of the CMA Award nominations brings me such delight every year, Womack said.
I can remember watching the Awards as a young Texas girl and dreaming of one day being a part of something that brings such honor to what I've always been so passionate about. It's a time to celebrate the artists, songwriters, musicians, producers and the industry in general.

HoopsHype David Griffin rumors
Chris Fedor: #Cavs GM David Griffin on the early season: "This is a really difficult recipe to get right. Everybody needs to settle down & let it happen" Twitter @ChrisFedor
Steve Kyler: A couple of Cavs comments --- there is a constant and daily dialogue between LeBron and management, that is how David Griffin operates. Twitter @stevekylerNBA
Cavs General Manager David Griffin did consider trading for Corey Brewer, but decided that he wanted to hang on to his $5.3 million trade exception. Minnesota traded Brewer to Houston on Friday for Troy Daniels and two second-round picks. It's mostly a salary dump, as Brewer has the right to become a free agent after the season. Houston used its trade exception to take on Brewer's $4.7 million contract. Cleveland Plain Dealer
Griffin has decided to wait, his goal being to add another big man -- one who can block some shots and rebound. The trading deadline is February 19, and there may be some big men available close to the deadline. If Griffin had made a strong bid for Brewer, that would have been the Cavs main in-season move. The salary cap would have prevented most other deals. The trade option is the key because it allows a team to get rid of a contract (as Minnesota did with Brewer), but not take back much money. Cleveland Plain Dealer
Sources say Cavs General Manager David Griffin is looking to make a deal. The Cavs also need an athletic swingman who can defend. They have only so many assets. It doesn't appear as if the Cavs are in any hurry to deal guard Dion Waiters. He has his confidence back after going through two tough weeks. He can provide some firepower off the bench. News-Herald
And in doing so, Griffin will spare no effort even if it means including a player in a deal no one even suspected was available. "No one is untouchable and you're never done building a team so we're always paying attention to what opportunities are out there," Griffin told Northeast Ohio Media Group. "My tendency is always trying to do what we can do to improve the roster. But I'm not looking to create one so much as paying attention to what I'm hearing." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Chris Haynes: Dan Gilbert says if GM David Griffin is not Exec of the Year, he should be in the running. Calls him a class guy, great basketball mind. Twitter @ChrisBHaynes
Allen spent the first six-plus seasons of his career in Milwaukee, and the franchise's pitch was a chance to end things where they began. Creative and worth a shot? Yes. Did it work? No. The Wizards are still hopeful, but suffice to say the Cavs are the front-runners as GM David Griffin has been in contact as recently as a few days ago, CSNwashington.com can confirm. Still, nothing. CSNWashington.com
Coincidentally, I talked with a person close to him Friday who told me nothing has changed. The Wizards have contacted Allen's representatives at Tandem Sports and Entertainment several times, both reported here. The prospect of being a starter again with Beal's absence isn't likely to make Washington any more enticing for Allen. He'll soon be 40. Six teams have actually contacted his reps since he became an unrestricted free agent -- the Wizards, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder and .... the Milwaukee Bucks. Yes, the latter is not a mistake. CSNWashington.com
"It created the most amount of problems for them," Cuban said. "The trade kicker not only made [the contract] more expensive, but the opt out [after Year 2] could create a Kevin Love-type situation for any teams interested in trading for him, where you don't know if he's gonna opt in or opt out." The impact this three-year pact and its various complications had on Parsons' fate has some league observers wondering now if shorter contract offers from big-market teams to future restricted free agents, such as the San Antonio Spurs' Kawhi Leonard and Minnesota Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio if they make it to the open market next July, will become more commonplace. "The contract structure was extremely creative," Cavs general manager David Griffin said. "I think it will be a significant moment in the way restricted free agency discussions are handled in the future." Said Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace: "The concept of a short-term offer sheet is intriguing and could be the wave of the future. With the reduction in the decision time to match reduced to three days, the team who writes an offer sheet is only out of action for a short period of time. [So] there is no downside. If the sheet is not matched, you have your player, and if it is matched, then the player will be back on the market soon, which increases the pool of players in free agency two or three years down the road." ESPN.com
Jason Lloyd: Cavs GM David Griffin: "You couldn't have a better recruiter than LeBron James." Twitter @JasonLloydABJ
Ethan J. Skolnick: At Cavaliers media day, GM David Griffin doesn't directly address Ray Allen, but says team trying to "capitalize on opportunities." Twitter @EthanJSkolnick
Ray Allen has yet to decide whether he will play another year, but the Cavs are ready if he does. "I think in his case when he decides this is something he's passionate about we are going to be more than willing to let him know how passionate we are about him. I don't think we would ever give up on it," Griffin said. "Until he signs that is going to be a target for everybody. Ray is somebody that fits us as a shooter. His championship pedigree fits us at a really high level." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Allen has maintained publicly that he is still considering retirement, and a decision might not come until after training camp begins. "He's in no hurry to make a decision," Griffin said. "They told us from the very beginning he was not going to be so we will let that play out as far as we can." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Our rim protection is going to be an issue moving forward," David Griffin said. "We would definitely like to improve it. I can't just talk people into getting off of centers, but right now it's something that we look at and think that's an area where we can improve." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Sam Amico: Cavs set w 20 guys on camp roster. Would like to add another big man, but as GM David Griffin said, he can't force teams to trade centers. Twitter @SamAmicoFSO

The helicopter being the main attraction was the kind of thinking that got Jan replaced. Execs thought the show would carry on if his character died just as his brother returned. Problem was the squint eyed lush was as much the show as he was a danger to it. Show died promptly after only a few more episodes. Archangle muscling his way into the lair and the brother (name?) taking over as pilot just didn't have the same chemistry.

Cecil Mamiit happy to part ways with Maria Sharapova
MANILA—Cecil Mamiit is no longer part of Team Sharapova.
The 35-year-old Philippine tennis star Wednesday announced that he has ceased to be a member of Maria Sharapova's team as hitting partner but said he's happy to have helped the Russian grand slam champion regain top form.
"Things didn't work out for Maria," said Mamiit in a Facebook message. "It was a great experience helping her get back to the top 10."
He didn't offer any reason for leaving the Sharapova camp, where he played a vital part during her tour campaign, including the Australian and French Opens, early this year.
There were reports that Sharapova wanted Mamiit's services full time, which he could not commit because of his duties with Team Philippines during Davis Cup ties and other international meets.
Mamiit's last tour of duty for Sharapova was in the French Open where she reached the semifinals—she lost to eventual champ Li Na of China, 6-4, 7-5—and rose to world No. 6, 120 rungs higher than in May 2008 when she injured her shoulder.

Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: Locals caught a 26-year-old man at Bhimreddynagar of Boduppal allegedly while fleeing after trying to burgle a house during daytime on Monday.
The Uppal police recovered stolen goods worth Rs. 7.5 lakh from the accused, who was later identified as Mohd. Hameed. Cyberabad DCP (Alwal) Mahesh Bhagwat said Hameed broke into a house and was searching for valuables when the house owner's wife, Jyothi, returned home.
She raised an alarm on seeing the stranger ransacking the house.
Hameed started running but the neighbours and some labourers working at a building under construction caught him after a chase. They handed over him to the local police.
During interrogation, the police found he was earlier arrested several times by the city police on charge of involvement in burglaries.
Based on his confession, they recovered stolen gold and silver ornaments, digital cameras and mobile phones, which he allegedly stole from different houses and shops in Uppal, Ghatkesar and L.B. Nagar.

BSkyB shares rally after News Corp pulls bid
nepal Shares in British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC rallied hard after Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. pulled its takeover bid for the company in the face of vociferous opposition in the U.K. parliament.
BSkyB shares closed 2 percent higher at 705 pence ($11.35), after trading around 680 pence when News Corp. said it was pulling its bid.
In the immediate aftermath of the statement, the shares tanked to a low of 665 pence, but that knee-jerk sell-off proved short-lived as investors had already concluded that the bid was doomed given the toxic political environment.
Analysts said News Corp.'s decision will, counter-intuitively, help BSkyB after a week-long battering following the disclosure of widespread phone hacking at the News of the World.
Now that the bid has been pulled, speculators like hedge funds - who were looking for windfalls from the prospect of a higher News Corp. offer - are pulling out. At the same time, however, new investors are looking to buy up what has become relatively cheap stock for a company that is highly profitable.
"We see good quality long term buyers coming in - Barclays Capital are recommending buying the shares today with a 820 pence share price target, and many investment banks think it's good value here," said Louise Cooper, markets analyst at BGC Partners.
News Corp.'s move to drop its bid was the latest development in a phone hacking and bribery scandal at the News of the World, which the company closed last Sunday after 168 years. The furor mounted after revelations that the tabloid was hacking the phones of potentially thousands of people, including a murder victim.
Even the traditionally partisan British politicians were planning to band together later Wednesday in a vote urging News Corp. to pull its bid. Earlier, Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed there would be a judge-led inquiry into the scandal.
Given that backdrop, it's hardly surprising that the Nasdaq-listed company decided the game was up.
"We believed that the proposed acquisition of BSkyB by News Corporation would benefit both companies but it has become clear that it is too difficult to progress in this climate," said Chase Carey, News Corp.'s deputy chairman.
Investors seemed relieved by the news, and pushed shares in News Corp. up 2.6 percent higher to $16.50.
Though the failure to clinch the remaining 61 percent stake in BSkyB probably marks the biggest corporate failure in Murdoch's career, he and his family are unlikely to give up their hopes of taking full control of what is now Britain's biggest media company.
Carey said as much: "News Corporation remains a committed long-term shareholder in BSkyB."
Charles Stanley's Hart said News Corp. may well be back to resurrect its BSkyB ambitions once the police investigation in the phone hacking scandal has been completed.
In the meantime, he said he wouldn't be surprised to see News Corp. continue to invest in the company, as it generates "tremendous" amounts of cash and is forecast to be debt-free by the end of the 2013 financial year.

How To Easily Stream Your MP3 Audio Files To Anywhere
Don't you wish you could listen to your collection of
from any computer without toting around a thumb drive or MP3 player? What about sharing the music with others? Wouldn't that be cool? Also, wouldn't it be cool to be able to share podcasts and other similar soundbites on your website or another social media page?
All of this could be done if only you could
your MP3 audio files for free, and embed the player. Well, it is now possible and even made easy by a new tool called
You might be thinking that there are services out there like
that allow you to stream your audio for free from your computer to the Internet. Yeah, you can do that if you want, but you'd better leave your computer on and hope it stays online because you're hosting your own music in those cases. What about
that lets you sync your iTunes collection on their server? Great thought but what if you don't use iTunes? And that doesn't let you embed a player wherever you want.
In the last paragraph I spoke of a few other services. Among those choices you were given the ability to stream your music from your home computer (Orb and JukeFly) or a third party service (Nutsie).
does things a bit differently. They allow you to stream MP3 files hosted on a web server. In other words, if you have webspace, you can stream your MP3s from there instead of using a third party or your own computer's resources. So in essence they are only providing the platform to stream.
All of those details aside, Iradeo is the simplest way how to stream your audio for free.
Sign Up For & Set Up Iradeo.
Head to
and sign up for an account.
Once you finish filling in the fields and have signed up, you will be taken to the dashboard.
Notice that you will need to go to the settings page to set some things up before the player will be ready to go. Head over to the settings page and begin to set things up.
One of the fields labeled '
Audio Location
' is not looking for your city and state, believe it or not. It is looking for the online location of your MP3s (we will be setting this up in the next step).
Also head to the
page to add information there.
This will help the public find your 'station.'
Set Up Your MP3 Folder In Your Webspace.
Since Iradeo streams from your webspace, you must create a directory and upload the MP3s that you want streamed. You will also have to upload a 'txt' file containing all of the names of the MP3's in it, one per line. You'll need to name it whatever you are told to in the sidebar of the settings page.
Once you have everything set up (account, profile, MP3s) you should be able to go back to the dashboard and preview the player.
This is also where you grab the embed code from. Just pop this code wherever you want your player to show. Now you can stream MP3s anywhere and to anyone just using webspace and
What other uses can you think of for a service such as Iradeo? Do you have your own Iradeo station?

As you might know, I have a few Gandolfi cameras. One of them is a ca. 1923 Gandolfi Universal, a fine old tailboard-focussing camera. it's been "upgraded" to 4x5" at some time, but looks vitually unused.
So yesterday I was setting up to take a picture of it, and started looking for my lens spanner to swap the far too modern 150mm Xenar with something more "appropriate".
Search as I might, I couldn't find it. what I found was a small square of mahogany with a brass "ear" on it which looked strangely familiar. I have no idea where it came from, but I suspect it was in a large box of "miscellaneous" I bought some years ago. That box has so far yielded nine wire-spun cable releases, three short-ferrule cable releases which work great in sunken lens boards and inside folding cameras, an iris lens mount which fit my Speed Graphic, and six working light meters - and there's still lots of "miscellaneous" left in it.
Anyway I took the lens panel and tried it on the little Gandolfi - and it was a perfect fit! Not just a "good fit", but absolutely perfect!
So now the conundrum: I have a classic plate/LF camera with an original uncut lens panel. I have a Thornton-Pickard T&I shutter with two front panels. One of them has a thread which miraculously fits one of my casket sets, the other one has a not very nice hole. So I'm thinking of mounting the TP shutter on the new lens board, and using the "ugly" TP front plate to mount another nice casket set - the Thomson Brothers set with the funky front cell. But cutting a hole in that nice unbroken plate scares me...
