Morkai resurrects a sketchbook
Hi all,
Last time I posted here was in 2005, holy cow!
Trying to give myself reasons to keep up the art hobbies when I can. I've collected a wife, two daughters, a degree, and a new job since I was last posting here, so draw time is limited pretty much to lunch breaks and naps, but I was inspired recently to stop making excuses and "just pick up the pencil and draw!"
Edited: moving art to another thread to fix thumbnail issues

Hey Morkai, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook.
You've got some nice stuff in here and I especially like the clean style of the avatar. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you.

10/12/2012 Update - studies n' concept art
Candra: Thanks for stopping by, I'll keep plugging away!
Trying to draw at least a little every day, and fit in a batch of figure/gesture studies before work.
First batch of studies, focusing too much on detail and not on gesture/forms:
Second batch after I read up on finding the C-shaped line of action, was much happier with the ability to catch the pose:
A bit of concept work for my game, feeling out ideas for the starting/non-upgraded equipment for the female character

Update 10-31-2012 :: Happy Halloween!
I have more pages of studies I want to scan in soon just to add to the thread and chronicle the learning process, but in the meantime here's a work in progress of the two protagonists from post 1. Studies have already helped me a lot, much happier with their direction and style.
To those of you where it's culturally appropriate: Happy Halloween!

11/1/2012 - Expressions!
Just a quick sketch to throw in here, I'm pleasantly surprised that I'm happy with these, given that trying to invent expressions usually looks horrible. Yay for head studies.
These are quick expression shots for the girl in the previous post, no ref.
November 2nd, 2012 #9
11/2/2012 - Another work in progress
Posting this here just to track it, probably the most complicated pose/layout I've ever done for a drawing.
Yay for perspective!...?
November 3rd, 2012 #10
2012 Nov 3 - Sketchbook dump
Finally got a chance to scan these from the other week, some more of the studies I've been knocking out in the morning:
And an attempt to draw my PS3 man-crush, Drake:

Your proportions on that perspective piece look great, I love those kinds of cool shots ^^

2012 Nov 6 - Yet another WIP
Vices: Thanks a lot, man! Hopefully it'll keep its "cool" factor as I work it over.
This is being thrown together for the current 2D jam, it's also (according to a promise I made to myself) the last new piece I'll start working on until I finish the other works-in-progress I've already posted in here. (Studies don't count, those are just good for the soul) One of my biggest faults as an artist (man, that sounds pretentious) is never "finishing" a piece. I'm not talking the last 3%, more like the last 35%.
Another fault is never using color. Blazing new territory here! Woo!

2012 Nov 8 - Some progress
Cleaned up most of the details I wanted to add in the line stage, it's just missing a nice background shipwreck. And most of the rendering...but I like that it's keeping the spirit of the original idea.
November 9th, 2012 #14
2012 Nov 9 - Still Rendering
Probably the furthest I've ever worked on a piece and not given up to do something else. That's got to count for something I guess. The drawing jam closes on the 12th, so hopefully it'll get done this weekend. *Crosses fingers*
November 12th, 2012 #15
that last piece is looking sweet, love the idea of killer mermaids ^^
One thing is that it looks like you're using the burn tool for the skin, which is totally fine but it looks a little flat, try taking a look at this example of skin tones: http://navate.deviantart.com/art/SKI...rt-2-145159387
Also if you aren't using it, painterswheel or colorus are great to keep colors from looking flat

2012 Nov 12 - My first horrible cake
Vices: Thanks for the suggestions and critique, I know I have a long way to go with color work, do you have a link for that second tool? I don't use photoshop, so I can't make use of the color wheel add-in. It's kind of sad that I ended up appearing to use the dodge/burn, since I hand-picked all my colors, but I'll admit my color theory is pretty shoddy. Lots of reading (James Gurney's books are killer) but no application until now. I tried for a limited palette with a contrasting element (the red was opposite my blues on the Sketchbook color wheel, but I think I left it too dark) I also picked highlights and shadows that were a little too monochrome, so I see where the perception of dodge/burn came from. I didn't even bother with bounce lighting, I was approaching the deadline @_@.
So anyway, here's the final, and I'm actually happy to be submitting it even though I'm not nearly as happy with the result as I'd like to be. I spent a long time learning about color, reading up on painting, etc etc, but this is the first time I sat down to actually try it. I figure it's a lot like learning to be a pastry chef, for example: they can read all they want about the best techniques, but the first cake a student chef bakes is going to be mediocre at best. But that's the first of a thousand they'll make on their path, and the next one they make benefits from the experience of the first.
So I present to my sketchbook: my first horrible cake. Next up on the docket: back to studies (color and figure).

2012 Nov 13 - Just something
Had more work to do this morning than I expected, almost didn't get any draw time today, but got in a little time to tweak this some, pushed the perspective of "floor guy" and tried to make his expression louder. If that's a term, I dunno. Anyway, here's more. My favorite part of this is the arrow above her head (which I threw in to remind me where gravity was pointing while drawing her hair since the horizon is tilted in-frame).

Would I be right in saying there is a definite comic book and anime style with your faces and eyes? Anyway I like the stuff. I'd definitely like to see that perspective piece finished dude. I'd clear up what the left hand is doing though. i can't seem to figure out what hes trying do , signal for help, or if its just flailing around. Keep it up though man

Evxyza92: Yea, I suppose so. I just aim for "simplified realism" and get a smattering of styles, mostly because I haven't really reached a consistent style point. I'd love to say that everything comes out exactly like I plan it to, but then I'd be lying. It'll settle out with time. And I'm with you: I have no idea what his hand is up to, it'll probably get changed before I finalize the linework. My workflow is very messy. Also, thanks for stopping by!

2012 Dec 4 - More painting and some stuff
Started another painting, sticking with grayscale this time just to work on the values first. A portrait for my little brother.
He's an accountant (or something, there's money involved), but, accountant, Imperial Inquisitor...meh, "6 of one..."
Cthulu, as requested by a DeviantArt passerby, in progress
And some fanart I wrapped up. Really highlighted for me some areas to study, I NEED to do hand/foot studies and find a decent reference on inking. My lines were a little more dynamic in this one, which I was happy with, but it has a long way to go.

7 Dec 2012 - Another "finished" piece
Here's where I ended up calling "done" on the character in post #7. I feel like the airbrush tool is too much of a crutch: useful at some points, but gives it a cheesy quality that's not quite near enough to western comic-book coloring to be good as-is, and not enough like concept-art painting that I idolize from sites like here and . I just gotta get busy painting.
Oh well, I like the color scheme in the flats, and it's concept work for my own reference, so I'm happy enough to have another finished piece.
December 12th, 2012 #23
Hey thanks for your comment! What you said is pretty funny because when I saw your post #21 a few days ago with the line art I was really impressed and got a burst of motivation
Your last piece here with the colors is looking awesome.
Here's a video explaining about the difference between color pickers and why a triangle is helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0yK5iLHogI
One key note is also changing the hue (both slightly and greatly) is important, especially for skin.
Here's a link to a basic free one. It has a memory leak on my computer or something so every 20 min I have to close the extension and open it again, no big deal. Oh well get what you pay for http://www.moddb.com/downloads/painters-wheel-for-cs6

you've got some nice linework going on and you're trying to tackle colors early on which good, however I think it would be beneficial to learn how deal with values before you jump into colors. Values are simply the lights and darks in an image. An image has to work in black and white before it can work in colour. You can improve your values by doing black and white studies. Once the values are correct you can always colorize them later.
I did a paintover to help explain my point. I hope you understand what I mean (it's my first paintover so.. :p)
It's also important to keep your lightsource in mind when painting and make sure the shadows follow the form of the body. It may seem like a lot but you'll get there in time and with practice.

jondawo: That's awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to put that together! Seriously, I'm really flattered you'd bother. While value is one of those things I've kept in the back of my head thinking "yes, of course, make sure to push value otherwise it'll be washed-out" it really makes an impact when I see how far I could be taking it. I'll definitely play in monochrome for a while to get a better hang of lighting and value range.
Thanks again!

I like your drawings. It is interesting how you go through imagination and drawing. I just can't do imagination stuff. I'm really attached to reality. I like doing observational drawing using models and so. If you study using someone of your family as model it will give more reality to your figures. It is just an opinion. Your figures are good. Keep improving. You are on the right place.

2012 Dec 21 - Appropriate doomsday material
sgj88: Thanks!
Cojac: Thanks for the words of encouragement! If I had a family member willing to sit still long enough for studies, that would be awesome, but with a baby and a toddler running around the house I'm pretty much stuck with photo reference for now
Something I'm still plugging away at. I'm finding one of my biggest areas of "study" is finishing what I start. I think I struggle more with that than any topic I could be studying.
At any rate, I owe this in its finished form to a requester from DeviantArt, so I'm trying to stay off my butt and finish it up.
Oh, and happy end of the world, courtesy of the Mayans. So far feels like any other non-world-ending Friday here.

Health Canada Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR)
The proposed changes to the Health Canada Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) have now been released. The new proposed name is Health Canada Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR).
Sadly yet again the most vulnerable people in Canada (sick and dying) concerns and problems with the current failed program were pretty much ignored!
The time, effort and tax dollars was not all wasted by Health Canada on consulting with Canadians across the country up until June of 2012 when the consulting was ended
The positive for Health Canada was inviting currently illegal medical cannabis distribution efforts by reputable non profit medical cannabis organizations in Canada to join in the Health Canada consulting process. Health Canada has ignored the most important part of these organizations with their years of proof positive openly operating store front operations by proposing to allow for mail order only. Although mail order to your door is a positive it completely eliminates the very beneficial options of one on one personal access to qualified knowledgeable people. Friendly understanding staff, safe clean environment with access to quality and diversity of health care products all without the many risks of negative and even fatal side affects from pharmaceutical drugs.
Although one of the more serious restrictions has changed slowly over the years in regards the number of production licenses allowed at one location, from one to two to four all that has been been fought for in the courts over the last decade and more. Now the proposed changes allow for 51 production licenses and possible more over time.
The medical community knew full well very powerful law enforcement lobbying would have their way to continue to increase the already extremely restrictive prohibition of medical cannabis for well over a decade now. Health Canada has given in to law enforcement propaganda. War (drug war) equals bigger budgets to continue to expand personal, equipment and even allows for more control over every human being no less. Starting on November 6, 2012, harsher sentences for many drug offences came into force, including mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis.. The drug war of course also provides law enforcement many easy non violent targets. Mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis have already resulted in more and bigger prisons with the end results of gaining even more control over otherwise non violent law abiding citizens. Citizens that do contribute to the betterment of our communities in a responsible and positive manner in their daily lives.
In a regulated retail model quality and a diversity of products could be sold as has been done illegally for well over a decade by many reputable non profit medical cannabis organizations in Canada and the USA
A beer and wine regulation model allows for personal production at home and sharing freely with friends, mom and pop (micro) production operations right up to large corporate production we have now. The currently illegal medical cannabis distribution by non profit medical cannabis organizations in Canada and USA over the last decade alone have contributed to advancement in medical cannabis research and development has been very positive for millions of suffering human beings. Beer and wine type regulations will allow for so much more quicker advancement with much more resources made available for research and development. This also would allow the most Canadian's rich or poor to access quality cannabis products in a responsible way.
Canada Gazette the official newspaper of the Government of Canada
Vol. 146, No. 50 — December 15, 2012
Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR)
"Cost-benefit statement: The main economic cost associated with the proposed MMPR would arise from the loss to consumers who may have to pay a higher price for dried marihuana. The analysis assumes a price increase from an estimated $1.80/g to $5.00/g in the status quo to about $7.60/g in 2014, rising to about $8.80/g, with a corresponding average annualized loss to consumers due to higher prices of approximately –$166.1M per year for 10 years."
"individuals would be authorized to possess the lesser of 150 g or 30 times the daily quantity stipulated by the authorized health care practitioner."
The proposed Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations would authorize the following key activities:
•the possession of dried marihuana by individuals who have the support of an authorized health care practitioner to use marihuana for medical purposes;
•the production of dried marihuana by licensed producers only; and
•the direct sale and distribution of dried marihuana by specific regulated parties to individuals who are eligible to possess it.
The proposed MMPR would also allow individuals who hold an authorization to possess under the MMAR to transition to the new framework using their authorization for up to one year after its date of issue (unless a period of usage of less than 12 months has been indicated in the medical declaration). Individuals could also transition using a medical declaration issued under the MMAR
Licences to produce issued under the current MMAR would be phased out, while renewals would continue normally. New licences to produce would not be issued if the application is submitted after September 30, 2013, because there would not be enough time to produce a crop before the repeal of the MMAR on March 31, 2014. Licences to produce would also not be amended for a site change after September 30, 2013, for the same reason (see "Implementation, enforcement and service standards"). All licences to produce would end on March 31, 2014.
1. Possession of dried marihuana by individuals who have the support of an authorized health care practitioner
The proposed MMPR would include a new definition of authorized health care practitioner that includes physicians in all provinces and territories (P/Ts), and would also include nurse practitioners in P/Ts where supporting access to marihuana for medical purposes is included under their scope of practice or in legislation. This is consistent with Health Canada's approach to other controlled drugs and substances used for medical purposes in the New Classes of Practitioners Regulations (NCPR).

Did Volcanoes Help Dinosaurs Ascend to Power?
Volcanic activity more than 200 million years ago may have helped dinosaurs become and remain the world's dominant species by causing the mass extinction of rivals, researchers claim in a recent study.
The paper, which was completed by a five-person team of researchers from the United States and Taiwan and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggests that it was mass volcanic eruptions that wiped out the crurotarsans, the crocodile-like creatures that were the dinosaurs' chief competitors for food during the Triassic Period.
According to a March 23 article by BBC News science reporter Paul Rincon, the researchers "looked at several lines of evidence such as the remains of plant wax and wood from sedimentary rocks interbedded with lava flows. From these, they were able to extract vital data about the climate" during the late Triassic Period.
"The scientists examined how two different isotopes (or forms) of carbon fluctuated during these volcanic eruptions. They found that the 'heavy' form of carbon was depleted relative to the 'light' form," Rincon wrote. "The scientists have not yet determined the killing mechanism behind the mass extinction. Neither can they say for sure why the dinosaurs survived it."
Comprising the research team were Jessica H. Whiteside of the Brown University Department of Geological Sciences; Paul E. Olsenand Raymond N. Sambrotto of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; Timothy Eglinton of the Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; and Michael E. Brookfield from the Earth Sciences Academia in Sinica, Nankang, Taipei, Taiwan.
The abstract for their report, which was entitled " Compound-Specific Carbon Isotopes from Earth's Largest Flood Basalt Eruptions Directly Linked to the End-Triassic Mass Extinction" called the findings, "the strongest case for a volcanic cause of a mass extinction to date."

Avantha Group company BILT Paper Plc (BPP) on Tuesday said it would raise $330 million through a listing on the London Stock Exchange and the proceeds would be used to finance expansion plans and repay debt.
The company plans to expand two existing paper production facilities.
BPP will be applying for admission to the premium listing segment of the official list of the UK Listing Authority (UKLA) to trade on the main market of the London Stock Exchange and to undertake an offering of ordinary shares. In a statement, BILT Chairman R. R. Vederah said the paper demand in India was expected to increase significantly throughout the next decade. "We believe that we are uniquely placed to benefit from this opportunity and the proceeds from the listing will help us meet this growth in demand," he added.

Date Reviewed: April 7, 2014
Strengths: Nice shorter chainstays, rigid frame, ok groupset
Weaknesses: Heavy, Twitchy, not a great fork
Bottom Line:
Fork - Get the solo air fork rather than the coil. THE XC 32 TK coil is ok , but is way harsher than the solo air version. The solo air allows for a much plusher ride while the rebound allows for good tracking and control. Luckily my coild ofrk had to be RMA'd and they converted it to solo-air and hooked me up with a remote.
I also got a Works Components angled headset to slacken it out by 1.5 degrees. This has made a huge difference. Much more stable on the fast down hills and better on the techy uphills too.
The wheels are OK as are the cranks, and derailleurs, but nothing special.
I have put on wider bars, added a drop post and converted to 1x9.
Basically this is a good solid frame (4.6 pounds by the way) on a bike that will serve XC riders (not racers) well and with a few mods is pretty good for intermediate trail. It climbs like crazy. I am minutes faster than my friend who has been riding far longer than me on the 3 mile 1000 foot climb we start our ride with. It handles light tech with ease. Rocky uphills can be a blast. Bigger techy uphills are challenge due to the weight of the bike, but for the most part it feels nimble enough. Slolamy downhills are an absolute blast, chunkier ones can be a challenge (but are my favorite) as the rear end gets tossed around quite a bit. The front wheel/fork has enough play that in hard cornering the 2.4 Ardent I have on there (tubeless) will lightly rub the for a bit. I don't notice any play in the rear. All in all a good casual XC bike capable of more.

Down to its final out and on the wrong side of a one-run ballgame, it seemed as if West Springfield once again would be bested by Lake Braddock.
After all, the Bruins had swept the teams� three previous regular season matchups.
That was then, this was now. The Spartans (18-9) forced extra innings on Saturday at James Madison High School, and walked away with a 3-2 win and the Northern Region championship.
In the seventh, junior Taylor Boyd notch a base hit, which scored Matt Meinhofer — the tying run. In extras, both teams put runners in scoring position, but none scored until the Spartans' half of the ninth when Donny Haeuptle stepped to the plate.
The senior hit a line-drive, two-run double that center fielder Alex Gransback only was able to knock it down. The hit gave West Springfield a 3-1 lead.
However, Lake Braddock did not go quietly. In the bottom of the inning, the Bruins loaded the bases for Jack Owens, who had homered earlier in the game. Owens was hit by Connor Tagg�s pitch, making the score 3-2.
Tagg then induced a pair of infield pop-outs to end the game, sending the Spartans surging onto the field in celebration.
"You can tell, these guys just �" was all West Springfield coach Jason Olms could say to reporters before his players dumped a barrel of ice water over his head.
The coach, himself a West Springfield product, toweled off and continued.
"They just have fun with it. They play loose and have a good time. Every elimination game, they play their best baseball," he said. "These kids are winners. ... I can't say enough about what our seniors have done with this ballclub. It's a great feeling."
West Springfield senior Tyler Tobin earned the win, bulldogging through the Bruins' lineup for 123 pitches in eight-plus innings.
"I felt good," Tobin said. "I've been throwing around 100 [pitches] all season, so an extra 30 wasn't bad."
"We had opportunities to win the game and didn't take advantage of those," Lake Braddock coach Jody Rutherford said. "It's just they played better than us. They deserve that championship."

DARPA ready to deliver telescope to watch the skies for space debris
The Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) is designed to track space debris and small objects

Future site of the new SST station in Western Australia

Article Summary
In order to dodge something, you need to see it. If that something is space debris then sometimes the best thing to use is an old-fashioned telescope – or, in the case of the US Department of Defense, a state-of-the-art telescope capable of searching an area larger than the United States in seconds. That's why DARPA is preparing to deliver the new Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) to Western Australia, where it will help track small satellites and space debris orbiting the Earth when it becomes operational in 2016.

Cancer cases to rise 40% by 2030; aging population fuel increase: report
If you ask Rob Thomas, calling it a day was never an option.
The singer/songwriter rose to stardom as the frontman for the American pop-rock band Matchbox Twenty before embarking on his own solo career. While the band, formed in 1995, released a string of hits over the years including "Push", "If You're Gone", "3 AM" and "Bent", a 10-year break between full length studio album releases and his successful solo career could have left many wondering about the future of Matchbox Twenty.
Any doubts about the band, or their place in the musical realm, were cleared up with the release of North on Sept. 4, 2012. It was the band's fourth studio album and the first one comprised of new material released since More Than You Think You Are that hit shelves in 2002 (the 2007 compilation Exile on Mainstream did feature six new songs). Fans, it seems, had been waiting. Selling 95,000 copies in its first week, the album debuted number one on US Billboard 200.
"We didn't set out with the mindset of 'we have to sell records,'" Thomas said, over the phone with This Week. "We just wanted to make a good album, something we could proud of. And the fact that people responded to it is great."
With such a long break between albums, when the group finally did set down to write, they had a lot to say. Working collaboratively, Thomas along with band mates Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook penned more than 60 songs and then set about the arduous task of narrowing it down to the select 12 that would make it onto the album.
"That's the hardest part," he said, laughing. "We have all of this material, how do you choose?"
Once the band found their general direction, he said, they sequestered themselves in a cabin to hunker down. There were a lot of revisions, some compromising and a little infighting but in the end they came out with an album they're happy with. After almost two decades playing music together, the band finds themselves on the same page.
"We were never not together as a band," he said, referring to the various break periods the band has taken over the years. "We always have something in the works. We may not have been touring, but we're always going to work together."
This year will be a big year for the group. Having just come off a Super Bowl pre-party event, the band now continues on its world tour with two nights of shows planned in Niagara Falls. Taking place at Fallsview Casino Resort's Avalon Theatre Feb. 19 and 20, both shows start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets start at $80 and are available at the Avalon Theatre box office on the day of shows, as well as through all Ticketmaster outlets.

OB/GYNs back over-the-counter birth control pills
-Women can easily tell if they have risk factors, such as smoking or having a previous clot, and should avoid the pill.
-Other over-the-counter drugs are sold despite rare but serious side effects, such as stomach bleeding from aspirin and liver damage from acetaminophen.
-And there's no need for a Pap smear or pelvic exam before using birth control pills. But women should be told to continue getting check-ups as needed, or if they'd like to discuss other forms of birth control such as implantable contraceptives that do require a physician's involvement.
The group didn't address teen use of contraception. Despite protests from reproductive health specialists, current U.S. policy requires girls younger than 17 to produce a prescription for the morning-after pill, meaning pharmacists must check customers' ages. Presumably regular birth control pills would be treated the same way.
Prescription-only oral contraceptives have long been the rule in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia and a few other places, but many countries don't require a prescription.
Switching isn't a new idea. In Washington state a few years ago, a pilot project concluded that pharmacists successfully supplied women with a variety of hormonal contraceptives, including birth control pills, without a doctor's involvement. The question was how to pay for it.
Some pharmacies in parts of London have a similar project under way, and a recent report from that country's health officials concluded the program is working well enough that it should be expanded.
And in El Paso, Texas, researchers studied 500 women who regularly crossed the border into Mexico to buy birth control pills, where some U.S. brands sell over the counter for a few dollars a pack. Over nine months, the women who bought in Mexico stuck with their contraception better than another 500 women who received the pill from public clinics in El Paso, possibly because the clinic users had to wait for appointments, said Dr. Dan Grossman of the University of California, San Francisco, and the nonprofit research group Ibis Reproductive Health.
"Being able to easily get the pill when you need it makes a difference," he said.

We just gave him a set of photos. The project went very well and many thanks to Vijay for a job well done. Since we had only asked for a generic model without material and size considerations, we still had to do that piece of the game. The first set of files for glass, sandstone and plastic is now pretty much done and we are about ready to place the orders.

Long 3mm tubes *do* in fact break off easily during production (and even after infusion) if they're not attached solidly to the mesh on both sides. The threads will likely have some minor damage, as they seem a bit thin, the heads of the screws should not be a major issue, aside from the fact they add additional complexity in the outer point of the screws increasing chances of the screws breaking off, basically.

French retailer faces legal action in wake of Bangladesh disaster
Published on Apr 24, 2014 11:13 PM
LILLE, France (AFP) - Three organisations said Thursday they had filed a judicial complaint against French supermarket giant Auchan in the first such case in Europe in the wake of the deadly Bangladesh factory disaster a year ago.
Auchan says it had never placed any orders at the Rana Plaza garment factory which collapsed on April 24 last year after a catastrophic structural failure, leaving 1,000 people dead.
But the three lobby groups, in a complaint filed with a public prosecutor in France, accused Auchun of misleading customers about working conditions overseas and claim that an investigation found labels from the chain's "In Extenso" range in the rubble.
Sherpa, a non profit organisation for the "victims of economic crimes", Peuples Solidaires (People's Solidarity), and the Ethique sur l'etiquette (Ethics on Labels) collective, claim a number of witnesses - including some in Bangladesh - are available to provide evidence, and have called for the prosecutor to carry out a preliminary investigation as soon as possible.

[It] depends less on the band's gear-smashing antics than on their sense of tunecraft, which isn't as highly developed.
While they may never reach the heights of their Source Tags & Codes, the band can still push boundaries.
As with most things Trail of Dead, it's bloated where it thinks it's profound.

Medal record
Sylvia Rhyne Hatchell (born February 28, 1952) is the head coach of the women's basketball team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is currently the second winningest head coach in NCAA women's basketball history, behind only former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. She competed with USA Basketball as the head coach of the 1994 Jones Cup Team that won the gold in Taipei.[1][2]
Hatchell graduated from Carson–Newman College with a BS degree in physical education in 1974. She completed her master's degree the following year at the University of Tennessee.[3]
Hatchell realized that coaching was her calling when she was asked to coach a junior high girl's basketball team in 1974. She followed that with a brief stint as the junior varsity basketball coach at the University of Tennessee, then moved on to become the coach at Francis Marion College, where she would remain for the next eleven years, compiling a 272–80 record.[3]
In 1986, Hatchell would take the head coaching position at the University of North Carolina. Under Hatchell's leadership the Tar Heels would become one of the nation's top basketball teams and becoming a mainstay in the NCAA Tournament.[3] They have been to every tournament since 2001, and all but two since 1992.
The highlight of Hatchell's career was winning the national championship in 1994. The title game against Louisiana Tech was one of the more exciting finishes in tournament history. Louisiana Tech had scored with 14 seconds to go in the game, giving them a two-point lead 59–57. UNC's Tonya Sampson attempted a shot with four seconds to go in the game that would tie the game, but it did not go in. The Tar Heels rebounded the ball and called a time out, with only 0.7 seconds left in the game. Stephanie Lawrence passed the ball inbounds to Charlotte Smith, who hit a 20 foot jump shot for three points to win the game and the national championship at the buzzer.[4]
In 2009, Hatchell became only the fourth coach of a women's basketball team to reach the 800 win plateau. The win came against in-state rival North Carolina State, and was tough, as the Tar Heels needed overtime to pull out the win.[5] Interestingly, UNC faced the same opponent for Hatchell's 700th victory, on January 16, 2006.[6]
In 2013, Hatchell was forced to step aside from her coaching duties when she was diagnosed with leukemia in October. A routine physical in September showed a low white blood cell count, which eventually led to the diagnosis. This is the first time she has missed any games coaching since January, 1989 when she was out for the birth of her son. She is being treated with aggressive chemotherapy at UNC's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and hopes to return to coaching soon.[7]
Hatchell's son, Van, graduated from UNC in 2011 and was a walk-on senior on the 2010–11 men's basketball team.[8]
USA Basketball[edit]
Hatchell was the assistant coach of the team representing the USA at the World University Games held in Edmonton, Canada in July 1983. The first game against Hong Kong was a mismatch—the USA team would outscore their opponents by triple digits, 134–23. Joyce Walker's 26 points alone were more than the entire Hong Kong team. The next two games against France and West Germany were closer, but the USA still won by 16 and 15 points respectively. The USA team faced Romania and lost by 14 points 85–71. The next opponent was Yugoslavia, which the USA needed to win to stay in medal contention. The game was close, but the USA won by a single point 86–85 to head to a rematch with Romania for the gold medal. The Romanian team started out strong, and held a six-point lead at halftime. The USA team came back, out scoring their opponents 47–19 in the second half, and won the game, earning the gold medal. Walker was the leading scorer for the USA with 13.8 points per game, but Deborah Temple Lee was close behind with 13.5 points per game.[9]
Hatchell was the assistant coach of the team representing the USA at the World University Games held in Kobe, Japan in July 1985. The team won their three preliminary games with ease, beating the People's Republic of Korea, Yugoslavia and Great Britain by more than 25 points each. Their next game, against China, was much closer, but the USA team had balanced scoring, with five players in double figures for points, and won 83–78. The USA team played Canada in the semifinal, and again had five players with double-digit scoring, winning 85–61 to advance to the gold medal game against the USSR. The USA fell behind by as much as 18 points in the second half. They attempted a comeback, and cut the margin, but the USSR hit almost 55% of their shots and went on to claim the gold medal 87–81. The USA received the silver medal. Katrina McClain was the leading scorer and rebounder for the USA team with 17.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.[10]
Hatchell was named assistant coach of the USA national team which would compete at the 1986 World Championships and the 1990 Olympics. The World Championships were held in Moscow, Soviet Union in August. The USA team started strong with a more than 50 point victory over Taipei. The USA team continued to dominate their opponents, winning the next three preliminary rounds games, with a 15 point victory over Hungary being the closest margin, then advanced to the medal play rounds. They defeated China in the quarterfinals, and Canada in the semifinals to set up the championship match against host and undefeated Soviet Union. Although the USA had recently defeated the USSR in the Goodwill Games, the USA wanted to demonstrate that the victory was no "fluke". The Soviet team was taller, but the USA team was able to outscore them. The USA team started the game with the first eight points, and had a 15–1 run during the second half, and won in convincing fashion 108–88 to win the gold medal and the world championship. Every one of the starters achieved double-digit scoring in the final game, led by Cheryl Miller who had 24 point along with 15 rebounds in the championship game.[11]
In 1994, Hatchell served as the head coach of the 1994 R. William Jones Cup Team for the competition held in Taipei, Taiwan. Despite having four players averaging double-digit scoring, including Wendy Palmer at almost 19 points per game, the USA had some close matches. After winning the opening game, the USA team faced the champions of the prior year, Republic of China - Cathay Life. The game came down to the final seconds, resulting in an 82–81 win. Palmer had 31 points, all needed. In the game against Kazakhstan, the USA was behind by two points at halftime, but came back to win. The USA repeated the feat against Canada, falling behind two points at halftime, but finishing with a win. The USA next faced unbeaten South Korea and came away with a win. Despite not losing a game, the USA needed to beat Republic of China - Nan Ya to advance to the gold medal game, and succeeded, with a 72–64 win. In the final game against South Korea, the teams were tied at the end of regulation and went into overtime. The USA was down with just over a minute to go when Palmer hit a basket to give the USA a one-point lead. After two free throws, South Korea scored, and had the ball on the final possession with a chance to win, but was unable to get up a shot in time. The USA won the gold medal with an 8–0 performance, but with many close games.[12]
In 1995 Hatchell was the head coach, with assistants Jim Lewis, Kay James, and Clemette Haskins, of the team representing the USA at the World University Games held in Fukuoka, Japan in August and September. The USA team won their first five games with ease, with only the 18 point victory over Yugoslavia in a quarterfinal match falling short of a 20 point margin of victory. In the semifinal against Russia, the team was behind for much of the first half and held only a two-point lead with under ten minutes to go, but then went on a 25–4 run to take control of the game. The final game, for the gold medal, was against Italy. The Italians started with a 12–2 run to open the game. The USA cut the lead, but were behind by nine points at the half. The USA took a lead in the second half, but the Italians responded with ten consecutive points and then held on to win the gold medal, leaving the USA with the silver.[13]
She continued on as assistant coach at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, where the USA team also won the gold medal.[14]
Hatchell also served as the head coach for the USA team at the 1995 World University Games in Fukuoka, Japan, where the team won the silver medal.[15]

you dont have time to use battery +evasive around the same time he does it ?
its still 5km that he needs to get ahead of you and you can even fire while moving and he cant.
imo you are talking about Pug teams and what they do.
our team use battery + evasive always when a target tries to run. ( tho if one of us dont have evasive up we let him go and pick next target ).

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services ("HHS") announced last week that same-sex married couples can now qualify for Medicare Part A and Part B special enrollment periods and reductions in late enrollment penalties.
This policy change results from the groundbreaking 2013 Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Windsor that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA"), which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, was unconstitutional. Because of this ruling, Medicare is no longer prevented by DOMA from recognizing same-sex marriages for determining entitlement to, or eligibility for, Medicare.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stated that the Medicare changes will help "to clarify the effects of the Supreme Court's decision and to ensure that all married couples are treated equally under the law."
Medicare's website encourages individuals who are in, or are a surviving spouse of, a same-sex marriage, to apply for Medicare if they think that they might be eligible. Individuals in civil unions or domestic (or life) partnerships are not considered spouses for these purposes.
Secretary Sebelius added that HHS is "working together with [the Social Security Administration ("SSA")] to process these [enrollment] requests in a timely manner to ensure all beneficiaries, regardless of sexual orientation, are treated fairly under the law."
Additional information for same-sex couples who might be eligible for Medicare is available here.

Vengeful groom burns down wedding venue in S.Africa
More News from Agence France-Presse
JOHANNESBURG – An angry South African groom set fire to a wedding venue after the facility cancelled his reception party over unpaid fees, a news website reported Thursday.
Jean Greyling, 28, admitted to starting the fire which burnt down the reception hall near the central town of Bloemfontein, causing damage worth over 3.5 million rand ($356,000, 266,000 euro), according to the Afrikaans news website Beeld.
The July 27 reception was cancelled a day before because he still hadn't paid the fees.
The fire started shortly after midnight on July 28 and Greyling had been spotted in the area a short while earlier, the news site reported.
Greyling was charged with arson and released on bail. No one was hurt in the blaze.
Other creditors— including the cake baker and florist— said they also hadn't been paid by Greyling for their services.
Meanwhile his bride, Lianne, appeared in court last week on unrelated charges for fraud worth over 5.2 million rand ($530,000, 395,000 euro).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Thereza01 First class hospitality This was my fifth stay at Sheraton Kampala Hotel and once again i had a great time there.They have the best service ever.The staff is welcoming,warm,friendly, genuine, and helpful.They make me feel like a valued guest each time and always responsive to my needs which makes me feel at home.Delicious food too.Keep it up.see u soon:-) April 17, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Samtel No features of a star rated hotel Beyond any words. Its terrible experience April 13, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by khush EXPECTED BETTER We checked in on the night of 15th March. Did not receive any assistance in removing our luggage from the taxi. The porter/bellboy were missing. No welcome drink was offered.Requests made at the time of booking were not fulfilled.We had requested for hard pillows, but did not receive the same.When we entered the room, there was no bottled water for drinking and we had to request for the same. Dinner, the same night, was a disaster.We ordered the VEGETABLE CURRY SELECTION and were served an assortment of items , all carelessly dumped on a plate. Bad presentation and no eye appeal at all. The room was not sound proof, so a lot of traffic noise from outside filtered in. On a brighter note, the staff was friendly and pleasant.And helpful and that made up for the lapses of our 3 night stay at this property. March 19, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by GrosChou Sheraton Kampala Very firendly and professional staff. Exotic place. What could be improved: Tennis court should be in better conditions Minibar should be filles-up More courses should be offered on the menu February 10, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by LBinDC This hotel is a mess! The Kampala Sheraton should be called a tale of two hotels. The club level rooms vs. the rest. I initially checked into the property on the SPG level (6th floor), and my colleague on the 5th. He took one look at the room, and immediately moved. I mistakenly stayed one night in room 611. Neither level has seen a renovation in possibly 50 years. The bathroom was old and tiny with no counter space, old shower and florescent lighting. The carpets were filthy, paint peeling, and a general sense of disrepair. I could not believe that I was in a Sheraton. Felt way more like a budget motel one would typically find near an airport, or along an interstate. Once we upgraded to the 9th level however, it was a totally different story. Lovely room, gorgeous views of Kampala, walk in shower with plenty of counter space and soft lighting, clean carpets and a floor which had been renovated this century. Clearly attention had been given to this room class. Given the appalling state of (much of) this property's rooms, I would expect S.P.G. to remove the Sheraton brand from the hotel until ALL rooms have been renovated, the a/c system upgraded and all rooms brought up to standard. Until then, I would only recommend the club level rooms., Finally, and on a positive note, the grounds of the hotel are gorgeous. The buffet breakfast excellent and the club room very relaxing. In short, if you plan on staying on the club level, this is a great choice for travelers. If not though, avoid this property and stay elsewhere. January 27, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by misterr2 It was a better stay than the previous one The club room was good and certainly better from the standard room. Nevertheless some signs of wear were more than obvious on the equipment. The maintenance personnel was unable to solve the problem I had with the room's safe or at least replace it. For the rooms with balconies at the front side of the hotel the sleep is a little bit difficult due to the loud music across the street. The food of the hotel's restaurant (not the 7 seas) can get better. The service of the hotel's personnel was exceptional. January 7, 2015

To commemorate 25 years of Baltic independence, The Jamestown Foundation is proud to announce that, on April 30, it will organize a conference entitled, "Baltic Defense & Security After Ukraine:...
On June 27, merely six weeks after signing the border treaty with Estonia, Russia announced that it is revoking its signature, withdrawing from any obligations stipulated in that treaty, and demanding renegotiation from scratch. Those points are contained in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs note, made public that day, along with Ministry comments emphasizing, "Under international law, the issue of delimitation of Russian and Estonian territories remains an open one" (Interfax, June 27, 28). The move also signifies a slap to the European Union, since the Estonia-Russia border forms a part of the EU-Russia border.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signed the border treaty with his Estonian counterpart Urmas Paet in Moscow on May 18, the Estonian parliament ratified it on June 20, and on June 22 Estonian President Arnold Ruutel promulgated it. However, on June 21 Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to forward the treaty to the Duma for ratification. It vehemently criticized the Estonian ratification law's preamble, which makes references to the Estonian state's uninterrupted legal continuity during the Soviet occupation. Moscow demanded that Estonia give up that preamble in order to have the treaty ratified by Russia. But it did not threaten to cancel the treaty.
A week later, however, Moscow took the escalatory step of discarding the treaty altogether. According to Lavrov, it did so in order to prevent the European Union from interceding with Russia to ratify the treaty. There is no treaty to ratify now, Lavrov gloated in mocking the EU: "They in the EU might have succumbed to the temptation of telling us, well, Estonia has ratified it, even if adding references to 'occupation,' 'aggression,' 'unlawful annexation,' but ratified it anyway … so please show a bit of patience and ratify it on your side, also with some interpretations attached, so that the treaty can enter into force. To stop the EU from falling into this temptation, we have withdrawn our signature. There will be no treaty" (Interfax, RIA, June 27, 28).
Chastising Estonia for "equating [Soviet] liberators to occupiers," Lavrov argued, "It was the Soviet people's victory that gave [Estonians today] the opportunity to play these games and, in general, to speak freely" (Russian TV First Channel, June 27).
The Federation Council's International Affairs Committee Chairman, Mikhail Margelov, blamed "Estonia's nationalist and isolationist voters and their representatives in power" for causing the Estonian parliament to attach the preamble to the ratification law. Margelov used those epithets in the knowledge that the ratification law had passed overwhelmingly with 78 in favor, four opposed, 19 not voting in the Estonian parliament, reflecting a political consensus in the country. The Estonian-ratified border treaty actually confirms Russia's possession of territory taken from Estonia during the occupation.
The Duma's International Affairs Committee Chairman, Konstantin Kosachev, had initially suggested that the chamber could ratify the border treaty despite the preamble to Estonia's ratification law. That document -- Kosachev had pointed out -- did not affect the treaty itself, and could in any case be matched by a unilateral Duma statement as part of Russia's ratification (Interfax, June 21). Now, however, Kosachev rushed to fall into line, on the government's cue: "The Committee, and the Duma in its entirety, unconditionally and unreservedly support the government's and MFA's resolute position." Estonia "just did not want to behave in a civilized manner," he declared (Interfax, RIA-Novosti, June 27). The contention that the three Baltic states are "uncivilized" has figured with increasing frequency in Russia's high-level official discourse this year.
Replying to Russia's diplomatic note, Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed the hope that Moscow will once more analyze the Estonian ratification law, and then initiate the procedure of Russian ratification of the border treaty. The Estonian Vice-Chairman of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Toomas Ilves, and other EP deputies have asked the EU to take a stand in response Russia's decision to withdraw its signature from the border treaty with Estonia. The request points out that Estonia's border with Russia is at the same time the external border of EU, that Estonia needs the EU's support on the issue, and that the entire EU is negatively affected by Russia's unilateral decision (BNS, June 28, 30; see EDM, May 2, 20, June 24).

Germany to avoid recession in 2013: Employer association head
Published on Dec 30, 2012 8:05 PM
BERLIN (REUTERS) - Germany will avoid recession in 2013 and achieve growth rates similar to 2012, Dieter Hundt, leader of Germany's employer association, said in an interview.
"I'm expecting that we won't experience recession in Germany next year and the economy will once again grow at similar levels as this year," Hundt said.
The German economy has so far managed to fend off the euro zone's troubles, expanding by 4.2 per cent in 2010 and 3 percent last year.
The country's gross domestic product in 2012 is expected to grow by about 0.9 percent. In 2013, private economists have forecast GDP to increase by about 0.7 per cent, down from mid-2012 predictions of 1.3 per cent.
