The War factory is AWESOME!
I will take a look at Heightfield
Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Apocalypse Rising, brings Westwood Studios' popular real time strategy game, C&C: Red Alert 2 into the FPS pespective, using the w3d engine. You will be able to experience, first hand, what it feels like to fill the boots of an Allied GI battling the communist might of the Soviet Union, or a Soviet Conscript vowing to take back what was lost to the Allies during the first great war. Classic units return such as the versatile Allied IFV to the mighty Soviet Apocalypse Assualt Tank to the gargantuan Allied Aircraft Carrier to the mad Giant Squids. This game features all of the units and structures for the Allied and Soviet sides from both RA2 and the Yuri's Revenge Expansion. The Apocalypse is Rising Commander. Are you prepared for it? (Credit goes to everyone who has donated and contributed to this mod. We shall not let you down).
Blog 181 is here and packed with Apocalypse Rising goodness! In this blog we have the Soviet Tesla Coil, Conscript, War Factory elevator animation and some stuff on heightfield.
Posted by TeamWolf on Jul 22nd, 2010
Guy with a wrench has been texturing the Tesla Coil! He's currently appying some sweet surface effects to the metallic parts, so expect this to look great when it's finished!
As for what's going to happen with Tesla Troopers, I'll leave that for another time.
One_Winged_Angel been working to get the Conscript finished so that we acually have some ingame infantry! Not much to say here other than I've finished unwrapping him and OWA is using Mudbox to paint the texture and normal map.
Check out these new images!
Guy with a wrench has been texturing the Soviet Arms, with great success so far! These will be used for the Conscript, Technician and Flak Trooper! Good news for ChAoS who will be able to start rigging some weapons!
dtrngd rigged up the Soviet War Factory to work in all it's glory. Now the motherland's vehicle-producing machine is working how it should. Bringing all requisitioned tanks up to the battlefield from it's cavernous innards via a giant cargo lift.
Behold! The power of the motherland!
One_Winged_Angel has recently been lookking into completely changing the way we make C&C maps, or at least provide an alternative to you, the community members, who want to make maps but don't want to learn 3ds Max.
The key to this is heightfield. For those of you that don't know, Heightfield is a map editing tool that allows you to make terrain within Level Edit; very similar to UDK's terrain tool and other similar engines. You can raise and lower terrain, paint up to 10 textures (as opposed to max's limited texture count per w3d mesh) and even cut holes for basements/caves and the like.
We are planning to adopt an unreal engine-like mentality of building up assets and cataloguing them within Level Edit, so that you guys out in the community can build maps and decorate them with ease. This will include (but is not limited to) objects such as rocks, trees, buildings and general decoration objects.
But what about buildings? Well, that's quite simple. We'll supply a few base templates for you to use within level edit, so you can setup bases really easily. However, you'll need to cut out the holes in the terrain (for the basements) using heightfield, which is easy.
If you are feeling really adventurous, we'll be providing the building pack in 3ds max, so you can make your own base templates if you wish. The possibilities are endless!
Just to put this in perspective for you, Wallywood recently had a go at making a map using heightfield, and after two days, this is what he came up with:
With this, we can provider the community with an easier way of mapping, so that more fan maps can be made, so please leave your thoughts, ideas and questions.
We are looking for extra staff members to join our ranks! What we are looking for in a 2d artist, is someone who:
PM One_Winged_Angel with your application stating why you would like to join the team along with any past experience. Please provide example textures, if you have any.

The War factory is AWESOME!
I will take a look at Heightfield
Nice war factory, awesome infantry work!
The conscript defintely looks menacing. Now that the factory is rigged, Im wondering if the Kirov is gonna just float itself out instead of using the lift. Is the Kirov gonna be in the game?
Oh yes. Easy mapping. Do want.
Conscript reporting!

Telephoto Zoom
by PistonCupChampion - 4/15/13 9:41 AM
In Reply to: Need another interchangable lens for my camera by natedana
Sony makes a few different telephoto zoom lenses, all very similar. The $300 SAL-75300 is probably the most common. Te aperture is on the slow side, f/4.5-5.6, but that is typical of budget lenses. It basically means it will only be useful in daylight. If you need a lens for low light (which is anything that is not strong daylight), then the cost goes up significantly. Sony's SAL-70200G isn't as long as the 75300, but it has much brighter optics and a faster focusing motor...and a $2000 price tag.

The biography of Robert Lax. This page has biographical information on Robert Lax, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
Robert Lax (1915–September 26, 2000) was an American poet, known in particular for his association with famed 20th century Trappist monk and writer Thomas Merton. A third friend of his youth, whose work sheds light on both Lax and Merton, was Ad Reinhardt. During the latter period of his life, Lax resided on the island of Patmos, Greece. Considered by some to be a self-exiled hermit, he nonetheless welcomed visitors to his home on the island, but did nothing to court publicity or expand his literary career or reputation.. American poet; friend of Thomas Merton

World's stage
Bethnal Green and Shoreditch are the twin poles of east-London's microcosm. Church spires are as common as minareted mosques, and here you're as likely to encounter the swish of a sequinned sari as the rope-soled tread of a hipster's espadrilles. But if diversity is de rigueur, Claremont Court might be the sharpest apartment yet. A melting pot of the modern and the vintage, you'll find old chairs made new with leather, safety deposit boxes reborn as bedside tables, prints that run the gamut from locals Gilbert & George to Caravaggio's classic Cardsharps. To say nothing of the music venues, markets and art studios Bethnal Green is renowned for.
Universally speaking
Your host is a travel writer whose pen is soon bound for Cape Town and Botswana. His eye is pleasingly eccentric, and his is an expert hand for up cycling – having turned one antique dining table into the two that enhance the chic sitting room.
Daily breadth
While the artwork in Claremont Court is assorted and the furniture a pastiche of many periods, the sleek white kitchen is distinctly contemporary, overlooked by the slick grey dining table. Head for the cosiness of the white cushioned sofa, or the balcony and the bricolage of Bethnal Green's architecture.
The bathroom is modern in shades of cream, while the bedroom is by turns arty and airy. But when it comes time to flick off the light on your re purposed bedside tables, do take time to admire the Gilbert & Georges and the scenic window view.

Meet Jahaira Maravilla my buddies over at Dynasty Series put me up on her. She is a model straight outta NYC who happens to be mixed with Dominican and Brazilian. That's right. I said Dominican and Brazilian. It doesn't get much better than that. That would explain why her ass looks like it weighs the same amount as a newborn baby and I am loving every inch of it. If you want to hit her up, make sure you follow her on twitter or add her on myspace. In the meantime, I'll be busy staring at her ass. RiDONKulous. It's probably illegal to bring something that size on an airplane.

Arms cache seized during raid at Lanao Norte mayor's house
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Authorities seized an arms cache and invited for questioning several men during a raid at the house of a member of the Dimaporo clan, who serves as mayor of a Lanao del Norte town, a police spokesperson said on Thursday.
Lanao del Norte is among areas being watched in connection with the May polls because of its history of poll violence.
Senior Superintendent Ronnie Francis Cariaga, spokesman of the Northern Mindanao police, said the raid was conducted by a joint police and military force backed by a warrant issued by Executive Judge Mario de la Cruz of the NCR's 22nd Judicial Branch on the house of couple Pantao Ragat Mayor Eleanor Dimaporo Lantud and Pantao Ragat Vice Mayor Lacson Lantud early Wednesday.
The Lantud couple were present during the raid, Cariaga said.
The raiding team seized 41 high-powered rifles, including a .60 caliber machine gun, M79 grenade launchers and seven handguns, all unlicensed, and assorted ammunition from the couple's house in Pantao Ragat, he added.
The house also yielded vests, ammunition bandoliers, helmets and other personal protective equipment marked AFP and PRAT, he said.
Cariaga said seven members of the town's Civil Active Auxiliary, who were inside the house during the raid, were also invited for questioning.
"They were in the vicinity of the house so we asked them to come with us to the headquarters for clarification," Cariaga said.
He said members of the police's Scene of the Crime Operatives tried to trace the origin of the firearms using their serial numbers.
Cariaga said the Lantud couple would be charged under Republic Act No. 8294 or the law on illegal possession of firearms.
Neither the mayor nor her husband issued statements on the raid.
Lanao del Norte is among two Northern Mindanao provinces consistently tagged as possible "hot spot" every elections. The other is Misamis Occidental.
Police authorities in Northern Mindanao said the province had a history of election-related violence in recent years, which made it an area of utmost concern during polls.
Like the 20 other Lanao del Norte towns, which members of the Dimaporo clan have also been ruling for decades now, Pantao Ragat is also considered a flash point of election violence.
In 2009, Lanao del Norte Representative Abdullah Dimaporo even backed calls for the extension of martial law earlier declared over Pantao Ragat.
Dimaporo's argument was that the town vice mayor controlled the town militia and might use them for violence.
In October 2010, amid controversies that plagued the conduct of the May polls that year, armed men ambushed and injured a poll official and three others in Kolambugan town.
Also, Associate Immigration Commissioner Abdullah Mangotara had urged the relief of the police chief of Salvador town due to his alleged failure to stop the series of alleged politically related violence there.
Mangotara, also a former Lanao del Norte representative, listed several incidents in Kolambugan in 2012 as politically motivated. Bobby Lagsa, with a report from Allan Nawal, Inquirer Mindanao

Full service for extended stays if necessary.
1. The key cards didn't work well.
2. The room had a musty odor
3. There was a stain on bedspread.
The staff was friendly when checking in and checking out. The room had a great view or the gulf. The pool was open until late hours which was nice after a long drive.
There was a mistake on the dates that I booked online but the staff was able to correct it very easily and I was charged correctly.
As with most hotels with room ac units the musty smell from the water on the carpet.
Easy access from interstate and short drive to beach. Clean for an older property. Pool was nice for the kids.
Wireless 'high-speed' internet was poor and virtually unusable. Hot breakfast options were not as advertised.
The staff were quite friendly, the hotel had a great location, the food in the various restaurants was very good, the room was very nice and very clean.
Great room.... Entertainment convenience!
Resort fee of 10.70 not mentioned until checkout. Third party reservation does not include this and they want a credit card to charge $60 for incidentals. They charged my card $69 and then showed me a receipt that they charged $60. I showed them my online hold of $69 and they argued with me.
The stay was pleasant. The water was shut off for a while and the Hotel gave each room complementary drinking water.
The people working there all all friendly........ Like family.
Parts of the Casino were cold. (felt like below zero)
Nice size casino, good location
The ac in our room wasn't working properly so it was very stuffy. There was also construction on the floor above us and the whole hallway smelled like paint.
burns in blackets on the bed.
It was ok
The TV connection was not clear.
Water in the room,location and breakfast
Mold around fire sprinkler in ceiling,and sofa bed was broken and not fit to sleep on.Saw mold and broken sofa bed night before check out. Reported to desk clerk on checking out and the only response was I will report it...No apology,nothing.
Staff was friendly. Large variety at free breakfast.
Could hear every step the people above us made. At 3:30 am we were woke by them walking around in their room. Pull out sofa was so bad our 4 year olds complained. Staff offered additional padding that made it where they could at lest sleep on it.
Like that it was on the beach and had a balcony.
Didn't feel as clean as it did the first time I stayed there.
Room, kitchen features, extra bathroom
Breakfast food wasn't great but the view was nice
Location and price
Cleanliness of bathroom, noise, location / feel of pool
The hotel was very clean and and housekeeping staff were polite and helpful.
The reservation process. The front desk clerk turned out to be really untruthful. Charged credit card for another stay and did not get refunded until after trip was over. This caused the trip to not be enjoyable. Very disappointed with the all the lies.
I liked this restaurant and will return.
No problems
The staff was awesome and the rooms were gorgeous.
Sometimes the valet could be a little rude.
Great hotel. The shower rocked. It was a walk in with 3 shower heads. Definitely showered more times than I needed to.
I booked it through orbitz. They jacked up my res. I called them 3 times before before my stay and it was still jacked up. As for my experience at the hotel. I have no complaints they helped me and we got everything smoothed over.
Upon departure the desk clerk gave our children a packed snack for the road!! Awesome service..will go back to stay!!
Really comfortable room. Close enough to the coast casinos without paying their prices.
Bathroom fixtures could be updated.
Room was clean and well stocked. Very quiet. Nice staff.
Slot machines didn't off often if at all. Dinner buffet needed more selection.
Great location, room was clean. However the check in line was long and slow not enough people working at the check in. Once I got to the desk it didn't take long to check in being that I had already pre checked in. The faucet in the bathtub was extremely hard to shut off. If it wasn't tight enough water would drip. Other than that it was a nice stay and I would stay there again.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Size matters
If you're like me , vertically challenged, you can't ride every bike in comfort at least not very far.
I'm 6 8" and that leaves me with beasts like the GSA and the 990.
I have one of each the blue and white is at home and the orange is my travel bike.
I'd love to have a lighter bike, maybe a 990 chassis with a 400 engine.
I've ridden a bit on my trip from LA to Bs As and yes it's verra nice with HP but you don't need it or very rarely anyway.
If you can't overtake the lorry there and then, going up hill in the Sierra Madre or the Sonora pass you'll be able to do so in a little while, when the driver stops for a whizzo or a fag.
And when you start to look at average speeds, you'd be able to do it with a 80 cc Step through.
Unless you're one of the fabeled 9xx owners who never go slower than triple digit speeds with everything they own strapped to the bike and the wife sitting on the back.
These epic trips are always on the worst types of roads deep sand or deeply rutted gravel roads and never less than 12 hours.
Baron von Munchausen, eat your heart out
I wish I had bought a GSA a long time ago
and now I drink Orange Crush as well, thrice up now, two 990 Adv and a 950 SER

The executive bigfoot is an umbrella term for a class of dark nobility in the earth. In both the celestial and terrestrial realms they are (lieutenants of) the primary enemy of all creation. In the terrestrial realm, however, they're ultimate status is rather obscured to most, such that they and their accomplishments generally appear beautiful and often correct. Their utility to the True King of realms (who ironically they seek to destroy) requires that they maintain their beautiful appearances and a world…

Q: In the ongoing general elections we have witnessed extreme polarisation of society. How is this affecting our social fabric?
A: The ruling class around the world has used the 'divide and rule' policy for ages. Today's politicians are no different. They deliberately ruffle sentiments of communities to create fear among vulnerable people. Though it's unclear whether these leaders are actually able to help the community at large, personally they all have gained. Almost all political parties have sought to polarise people on some or the other grounds. This allows them to exploit the people by creating virtual enemies. Marathi will see North Indian as enemy, Hindus see Muslims as enemies, and vice versa, and so on. Vulnerable people will continue to suffer as they are unable to identify the real enemy – the powerful ruling class.
Q: Do you think earning Rs28 a day in a village or Rs32 a day in the city is enough to be classified as not poor?
A: The poverty line is an arbitrary and imaginary classification of people created by a handful of insensitive government officials. They seek dearness allowance for themselves every six months but don't consider this when it comes to the poor. India doesn't need a poverty line.
Q: Then how will the government disburse subsidies for the poor?
A: The public distribution system shouldn't restrict people who earn slightly more than the people below the poverty line (BPL). Those who can afford will not go to the ration shops, to stand in queue to save a few rupees. The public distribution system must cater to all needy people.
Q: Have you studied the Gujarat model of development which Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial nominee, would seek to implement across India should he come to power?
A: Modi's Gujarat model is the classic capitalism model which seeks economic growth at any cost and by any means. The single-mindedness on increase in GDP doesn't necessarily ensure social justice. You may also classify it as neoliberalism which seeks to invest in sectors that yield more profit. For example, the land given to industrialist Gautam Adani was said to be barren land. But it was used to develop a port, which led to restricted entry for fishermen and destroyed the ecosystem as well.
Q: Does this mean that India shouldn't grow? Developed countries like the US, the UK, Germany and Russia have grown through industrialisation only.
A: Unfortunately, India adopted the US model of growth. What we didn't see was that they killed the indigenous people during the course of development. When the British came to India, they destroyed our caste system and created a new social order, they destroyed the zamindari system and dynasties. Democracy created a fresh order that led to crony capitalism. A handful of people have acquired huge wealth, while the poor and the farmers continue to suffer. India needs a human capitalism model. We must not deprive people from their livelihood and basic necessities. Like Amartya Sen says, build capabilities of people so they can enter the labour market.
Q: Which countries have developed keeping human capital in mind?
A: Scandinavian countries have created wealth which benefits all.
Q: In the past few years, southern states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu have also seen a rise in saffron groups, followed by Muslim radical groups which was unexpected.
A: This is due to the huge remittances sent by Indians working in the Gulf countries. Many families who were marginalised are now better off. On the other hand, people from rich families who went to the US and other Western countries sent hardly anything back home. The differential wealth in society is being exploited by the radical groups for financial and political gains.
Q: FDI in retail was dubbed by the Congress as the 'Ram baan' to curb farmers' suicides, resolve poverty and unemployment. The BJP says it will displace more people from their homes and farms and destroy small shopkeepers. The people are confused.
A: FDI in retail is aimed at the upper and middle classes. Only rich people having cars and refrigerators can purchase large quantities of daily requirements and store them at home. But a large number of people still still buy flour, rice and oil on a daily basis. How will they survive?
Q: Do you expect any change in the political discourse once a new government comes into power?
A: The scams are a product of collusion between political parties and not by a single party or individual. The political class, bureaucrats and industrialists work hand in glove leading to the scams.
Q: TISS has been working in riot-affected areas. What is your assessment about the Muzaffarnagar riots?
A: Riots are created with specific targets: disturb the settlement, caste system, create a fear psychosis, communalise society. Riots seem to have an ideological orientation, but there is a financial reason too. Many people leave their homes and farms during the riots and these are grabbed by others. All the change in the societal order in the area favours the powerful people. The Muzaffarnagar riot is a similar story.

Union hasn't heard from Commissioner on recusal request, yet
In a wide-ranging interview with Bob Ley of ESPN's Outside the Lines, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith addressed the status of the union's request that Commissioner Roger Goodell recuse himself from the appeal hearing in Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension for being "at least generally aware" of a scheme to deflate footballs.
Smith told Ley that the union has yet to hear anything in response to the formal request that Goodell step aside, due both to his status as a witness in the case and his inability to be impartial. The request apparently will be reiterated if a response doesn't come soon.
"If we don't get a response by the end of next week, we'll certainly increase the volume of the request," Smith said.
Goodell's comments from Wednesday indicate fairly clearly that he still intends to handle the appeal personally. Smith declined to divulge whether a lawsuit challenging Goodell's intent to serve as the arbitrator will be filed before or after Goodell issues a ruling on the appeal.
Earlier on Friday, the league office told PFT that a date has not yet been set for the Brady appeal hearing.
As to the arguments in support of a reversal of the suspension, Smith opted not to share many details. Most significantly, he pointed to the decision to embrace the recollections of referee Walt Anderson on all points except the question of which of the two pressure gauges he used when setting air-pressure levels before the game. The gauge that Anderson recalled using generated halftime PSI readings that are almost entirely consistent with the operation of the Ideal Gas Law.
Smith also provided this general assessment of the 243-page document generated by independent investigator Ted Wells: "The Wells report delivered exactly what the client wanted." As to the independence of the Wells investigation, Smith added, "You can't really have credibility just because you slap the word 'independent' on a piece of paper."
Many still wonder why the NFL would have wanted to find the Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady guilty. At one level, this was about re-establishing the Commissioner's role as "The Enforcer," proving to the world that he'll never again go too easy on anyone suspected of wrongdoing. At another level, it created an opportunity for one or more league officials with a bias against the Patriots to initiate the launch sequence for full-blown investigation and punishment by, most significantly, leaking false PSI information to ESPN, which created the impression that someone must have messed with the air pressure and which placed the Patriots, who didn't know the true readings until March, on their heels.
After ESPN reported that 11 of 12 New England footballs were two pounds under the 12.5 PSI minimum, the NFL never corrected the record. The real numbers ultimately appeared in May, as part of a lengthy report that never even acknowledged the false leak that ultimately allowed Ted Wells and company to milk millions from the league's coffers in an investigation that, if the real numbers had been released at the outset, probably would have never happened.
This didn't start as a grand conspiracy. It started based on halftime readings below 12.5 PSI and ignorance at to the application of science to football air pressure, and it grew into an occasion to re-establish the potency of the Commissioner.
At a time when many believe the Commissioner's strings are manipulated from above, this case may have been sparked by his strings being manipulated from below. And now the NFLPA is hoping to get the case resolved by someone who has no strings attached to the league or any of its teams.
Brees dodges #DeflateGate questions
This time around, Drew Brees doesn't need an explanation.
Three years after the Saints found themselves in the cross hairs of a league investigation that had the feel of a mouse being hunted with an elephant gun, the Patriots find themselves in the same situation. With the Patriots, however, Saints quarterback Drew Brees is keeping a much lower profile.
"Honestly, I'm just worried about my team and doing what we need to do to win a championship, and to your point, being on that side of it at one time, it's a difficult situation, it's not favorable for either side to have to go through something like that," Brees said earlier this week on ESPN Radio, Nick Underhill of New Orleans Advocate. "You hope for the best resolution, and then it'll be back to playing football."
Brees had more (but not much more) to say about the process of preparing footballs for game play.
"Honestly, I've never given it that much thought," Brees said. "I really haven't. You know, there is a process by which we pick footballs before a game. You kind of break them in, in practice, you kind of rub them down, whatever, but once they're out on game day, you've got other things to worry about other than what the balls are like.
"You know, you're focused on throwing to the right guy, being on time, where are the defenders, who's coming to get you. You've got enough things going on, but honestly, I really have never given it that much thought other than, I like the balls broken in a certain way, but then after that, I think you just play ball with whatever ball comes up."
It's no surprise that Brees is keeping a low profile. Most players are. Still, like many other players who don't play for the Patriots, Brees opted not to rush to Tom Brady's defense. Which, when considering the volume of the players who have opted not to rush to Brady's defense, says something.
Twenty-four years ago Friday, the NFL moved to add two teams
The 1980s saw the NFC dominate the NFL, winning eight of 10 Super Bowls. The 49ers were the team of the decade, capturing four championships. Teams were prone to make music videos. Coaches were known to wear wonderful sweaters.
However, one thing we didn't see in the 1980s was NFL expansion. The league stayed put at 28 teams, just as it had since 1976, when Seattle and Tampa Bay came on board.
But at the start of the 1990s, the NFL wanted to get bigger. And 24 years ago today, the league's teams approved a plan to expand by two teams by 1994.
Ultimately, the two new teams — the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars — did not start play until 1995. They were followed by the "new" Cleveland Browns (1999) and Houston Texans (2002).
The question now, of course, is when a Los Angeles-area team or teams follows these additions.
Bills say they still don't want to do "Hard Knocks"
It sure looks like the Texans can be on "Hard Knocks" if they want to, since the other alleged finalists swear they don't want to.
Washington has already indicated a lack of interest, and now the Bills have affirmed theirs.
They said in March they didn't want to, and a team source tells Mike Rodak of ESPN.com that they're still not.
They're not on the list of teams which could be compelled to do it, since they have a first-year coach, but a report this morning listed them as a finalist for the show.
That's kind of a shame, as Texans coach Bill O'Brien doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will make compelling television. We already know Rex Ryan does.
And even though O'Brien has seemed indifferent about the show in the past, it's looking more and more like he's got it.
Colts rookie Phillip Dorsett making a fast first impression
The Colts definitely had bigger needs than another wide receiver in the first round of the draft.
But after their first look at him, they don't think Phillip Dorsett is just another wide receiver.
"It's definitely not too big for him," quarterback Andrew Luck said, via Mike Wells of ESPN.com. "He fits in very, very well."
Of course, the fit has been the biggest question. The Colts are well-stocked at the position with T.Y. Hilton and Andre Johnson starting, and Donte Moncrief, Duron Carter and Vincent Brown in reserve.
But Dorsett could separate himself the same way he separates from cornerbacks, with his speed. He averaged more than 24 yards per reception last year at Miami, and is falling into a system with a star quarterback who can throw a deep ball.
"All of his balls are catchable and he's so smart," Dorsett said of Luck. "He knows what to do. He knows where to put the ball."
Luck can only put it in one set of hands at once, however, so Dorsett's role this year might be unclear, as he works on returns and working his way into the starting lineup down the road.
Patriots keep Wells report website active
Yes, the Patriots decided not to appeal the punishment imposed against them by the NFL. No, the Patriots haven't changed their minds about the outcome of the Ted Wells investigation.
The strongly-worded, 20,000-word rebuttal to the Wells report remains active with a link from the front page of the team's official website, three days after owner Robert Kraft explained that the Patriots won't be exercising the right to appeal the $1 million fine and the loss of a first-round draft pick in 2016 and a fourth-round draft pick in 2017. The response to the Wells report likely will remain active indefinitely.
If it remains active indefinitely, it also could be updated and supplemented based on additional information and analysis of the 243-page report that failed, in the opinion of many, to adequately prove that tampering occurred prior to the AFC title game.
So while the Patriots have dropped their appeal rights, they haven't dropped their concerns about the process, the investigation, or the conclusions. Those concerns presumably will continue to be on display, during quarterback Tom Brady's appeal and beyond.
Report: Texans favorites to be on "Hard Knocks"
Earlier on Friday, there was a report that the Texans, Redskins and Bills were the three teams under consideration to be featured on this summer's edition of "Hard Knocks."
It seems that the Texans may be ahead of the other two teams in terms of who will wind up on the program. Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com reports that the Texans are the favorites to be given a time slot on HBO.
There were reports in March that the Bills weren't interested in doing the show and the league couldn't compel them to do it because they have a new coaching staff this offseason. John Keim of ESPN.com also reports Friday that the Redskins do not want to do the show and that they are "not one of the finalists."
If the Texans do wind up on the show, you can probably expect that the team's quarterback competition and Jadeveon Clowney's return from microfracture surgery will provide heavy doses of drama. And they might even carve out a little bit of time for defensive end J.J. Watt, who you may have heard a few things about in recent years.
Report: Bills still want to extend Dareus before camp
Earlier this offseason, Bills General Manager Doug Whaley called signing defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to a contract extension the team's top priority after the draft.
Dareus was suspended for the opening game of the regular season on Thursday for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything about the team's desire to hold onto the 2014 All-Pro. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team still hopes to sign Dareus to a new deal before training camp.
While the suspension is unfortunate, it shouldn't have come as any surprise to the Bills after Dareus was arrested last year on charges of possession of synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia. If they were interested in extending him with the knowledge of that arrest, the fact that the league disciplined him doesn't give much cause for a change of heart.
Dareus is set to make $8.06 million in 2015 as he plays out the final year of his rookie contract.
Mike Shanahan: Injuries aren't why RGIII has struggled last two years
When Robert Griffin III landed in the NFL in 2012, the Redskins closed the regular season with seven straight wins to take the NFC East and advance to the playoffs.
Griffin missed one of those games with a knee injury, which served as a preview of the more serious knee injury he'd suffer in the playoff loss to the Seahawks. Griffin rehabbed through the next offseason and then struggled in 2013 in an offense that was designed to limit Griffin's runs in hopes of having him develop into a more traditional quarterback.
It didn't happen, which led to squabbling with Mike Shanahan before Shanahan was fired as the team's head coach. Griffin had another serious injury last year and continued to struggle in Jay Gruden's offense, but Shanahan doesn't think the injuries have been the quarterback's problem.
"I don't think getting hurt has anything to do with it," Shanahan said of RG3 on the Grant and Danny Show on 106.7 The Fan, via CSNWashington.com. "In college he didn't have a route tree, didn't have a playbook. That does take some time. … If you take a QB like that you must run the kind of system that allows them to be successful … I really believe Robert thought he was more of a drop back quarterback. He hasn't done things the NFL asks you to do. It does take some growing pains. You better really work on it inside and out."
No one who has watched Griffin the last two years would argue that he looks as comfortable in the offense as he did as a rookie, although you have to wonder why the Redskins made such a big play for Griffin if they weren't willing to give him that time or run an offense more suited to his needs. The answer to the latter is largely because of the injury risk involved with running a smaller quarterback repeatedly against NFL defenses, but the failure to do the former may lead to the end of Griffin's time in Washington without much to show for the investment they made in him.
New 49ers running back says Colin Kaepernick owes him a thumb
After working with 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Kurt Warner said he was impressed with the touch he was able to put on passes.
He might want to run that by 49ers running back Mike Davis, who said on Twitter that Kaepernick "owe me a new thumb" after one pass in OTAs this week.
"My thumb is good, man. It was just one day," Davis said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. "My thumb was messed up because of Kap, but I'm all right. . . . Kap, man, [has] a lot of power. I didn't know he could throw the ball that hard. As I can see yesterday, I can tell how hard he can throw it. . . .
"I didn't know it was coming that fast and it hit my thumb. I still caught it, but it was crazy."
The 49ers are hoping Davis can contribute as a receiver, after he caught 66 passes his final two seasons in college. But if he's going to, Kaepernick might need to take a little something off of them.
Derrick Shelby on Dion Jordan: It's a bad situation, he's not replying to texts
The Dolphins didn't have much to say about defensive end Dion Jordan's status with the team before he was suspended for the entire 2015 season and they haven't had much to say about his future with the organization since that suspension was handed down in late April.
Coach Joe Philbin and General Manager Dennis Hickey have opted to pass on questions about whether the former third overall pick will be welcomed back to the team and it seems Jordan is also passing on opportunities to stay in touch with teammates. Defensive end Derrick Shelby said that he's reached out to Jordan to no avail.
"It's a [bad] situation," Shelby said, via the Miami Herald. "I've texted him a few times but got no response."
Let's hope Jordan is speaking to someone about his issues with drugs, because they have obviously had a major impact on his ability to do his job and build a career. Whether he has a future in Miami or not, Jordan's chances for a successful life will only improve by getting a handle on them in the next year.
Sheldon Richardson enjoying the meaning of voluntary
Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson is absent from Jets voluntary workouts because he wants a new contract.
Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson is absent from Jets voluntary workouts because, well, because they're voluntary.
Richardson tweeted out word to his concerned fans that all is well and he's just holding the word voluntary to its true meaning.
"I have a life outside of football n I chose to enjoy my family a little longer so to u fans that know everything please worry bout yourself," he wrote this morning.
OK then.
The Jets weren't sure about the reasons for his absence, or if they were they weren't saying.
But when coach Todd Bowles said he hoped all his players would show up "but unfortunately, that's not the case," it made it clear how coaches view the the meaning of the word.
Frank Gore, Andre Johnson make "pretty seamless" transition to Indy
It has been a long time since running back Frank Gore and wide receiver Andre Johnson have had to get used to playing for a new team.
Gore was with the 49ers for 10 years before signing with the Colts as a free agent this year and Johnson spent a dozen seasons in Houston before heading to Indianapolis after the Texans released him. Given what they say about old dogs and new tricks, there might have been some fear that their transition to new surroundings would take some time.
Not so, says Colts coach Chuck Pagano.
"Pretty seamless," Pagano said, via ESPN.com. "They don't miss a beat as far as the playbook goes, knowing what to do. Every time I see them in the huddle, break a huddle, to me it looks like they're going the right direction. They're lining up right. They're very talented, talented guys. They fit right into the locker room. They're professionals. Again, the resume speaks for itself. They're not talkers. They're workers, they're doers."
Gore and Johnson were both in line for reduced roles if they had remained with their old teams, but the Colts don't appear to be thinking about things the same way. Gore should again be the workhorse in the backfield while Johnson is going to get a lot of looks from Andrew Luck while playing a version of the Reggie Wayne role from Andrew Luck's first two seasons.
A slow transition wouldn't have changed those plans, but picking things up quickly will only make life easier on offense for the Colts.
Montreal Alouettes sign Michael Sam
Michael Sam is bound for the Canadian Football League.
Sam, the former Rams and Cowboys defensive end, has signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes, the club announced Friday.
"With the signing of Michael Sam, we have become a better organization today," Alouettes General Manager Jim Popp said in a team issued-statement Friday. "Not only have we added an outstanding football player, we have added even a better person that brings dignity, character, and heart to our team."
Joining Montreal gives the 25-year-old Sam a chance to jump-start his career in a professional league that occasionally serves as a launching pad back to the United States, with Miami's Cameron Wake and Cleveland's Andrew Hawkins among the CFL alumni currently in the NFL. Sam's pass rush ability — he notched three sacks in four preseason games in 2014 — should serve him well in a fast-paced league.
Sam, who became internationally known after announcing he was gay in February 2014, has not been with an NFL club since being released from the Cowboys' practice squad in October.
Chiefs sign tight end Ryan Taylor
The Chiefs have added another tight end to the mix.
The NFL's daily transaction report brings word that Kansas City has signed veteran Ryan Taylor to their roster. Taylor was released by the Dolphins earlier this month.
Taylor entered the league as a 2011 seventh-round pick of the Packers and played in 50 games for the team before being dropped from the roster last October. He spent a little time in Baltimore and then played eight games for the Browns to close out the season. Taylor saw most of his work on special teams, but did catch eight passes while he was with the Packers.
Travis Kelce has a lock on the starting tight end job for the Chiefs. Demetrius Harris, Richard Gordon and 2015 fifth-round pick James O'Shaughnessy will join Taylor in the scrum for backup work.
The Chiefs released guard Ricky Henry to make room for Taylor on the roster.

PORTLAND -- The Portland Trail Blazers are working with city officials to rename a Rose Quarter street after legendary coach Dr. Jack Ramsay, who died earlier this week.
Commissioner Steve Novick and the Blazers hope to rename Winning Way to Ramsay Way, to honor the man who led the team to a win in the 1977 NBA Championship.
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales and I believe this is a perfect way to salute Jack Ramsay, Novick said Thursday. I have owed Dr. Jack a huge debt of gratitude since June 5, 1977, when, as a kid in Cottage Grove, I watched Oregon s team claim the NBA title. It is an honor to have a chance to pay him a proper tribute.
Blazers president Chris McGowan said renaming the street just north of the Moda Center would give Ramsay a place of prominence in the city he loved.
Related: Bill Schonely on Blazers' beloved coach Jack Ramsay
Dr. Jack is a permanent icon in the storied history of the Trail Blazers and indeed the NBA, McGowan said. We are proud to partner with Commissioner Novick to bring this resolution before the city council.
Novick plans to introduce the resolution at the next Portland City Council meeting on May 7.
Meanwhile, the Blazers are wearing a commemorative plaid patch on their uniforms reading Dr. Jack '77 for the remainder of their NBA playoff run.
And as a lasting tribute to Ramsay, McGowan said the team will establish the Spirit of Rip City Award, to be given annually to a coach, educator, administrator or community activist whose focus, determination and never-give-up spirit, coaching hallmarks of Ramsay, makes a meaningful contribution to the greater Portland community.

This blog is a long, somewhat messy photo essay on the history and politics of design. The socio-historical context of design - that is, the origin of the design of objects, dwellings and cities - seems too often ignored. Historical knowledge can be fugitive in the New World, with everything so decontextualized in the flow of commodities. Don't even get me started on tumblr and pinterest.

Profanity isn't shocking anymore. It's not edgy or sassy or hip or rebellious. It's just a sad, tiresome example of our shrinking vocabulary. Thanks, Twitter. People swear when they have nothing to say, but they want to talk. My feeling? You're not getting paid by the word and you're not a sailor. So keep it simple.

Honestly, before I switched I found that the performance degradation that came with continuous virus scanning on Windows was worse than most viruses.
It is. My mom is like "Why don't you have a virus scan?" on her 8 year old computer. I explained that the scanning made the computer unusable, so I used some free stuff every 3 months at night and get anything, there was never anything big, then delete it.
Norton fucked the computer up so badly that it wouldn't let me uninstall it and Windows had to be reinstalled.
The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

CANA — Further details have been released regarding a police chase that ended with the death of a suspect on April 8 in Cana.
According to a news release from Corinne Geller, public relations director for the Virginia State Police, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office initiated a pursuit of a vehicle that refused to stop for a deputy shortly before 9:45 a.m. on April 8. The man reportedly fled authorities first in a vehicle, then on foot. He ran behind a residence before shooting and killing himself.
Galax avenged an earlier loss to Carroll County win a 3-1 win in Hillsville. Edu Rojas, Jose Rojas and Miguel Lopez scored for the Maroon Tide.
Chantasy Cottrell and Maegan Madrigal each scored two goals in Galax's 5-2 girls' soccer win over Rural Retreat.
INDEPENDENCE – Grayson County hammered out five doubles to go with five singles Wednesday to roll over Tazewell 9-2 in a nondistrict game at the Grayson National Bank Baseball Complex.
While the Blue Devil bats were smoking, Tyler Lundy tossed a seven-hitter to pick up the win on the mound as the Blue Devils upped their record to 4-2 for the season.
Lundy was sharp in the first inning, striking out the first two batters he faced and getting the final out on a fly ball to right field.
FLOYD –– Grayson County owed Floyd County some measure of retribution after a 3-2 loss March 23 in Independence. The Blue Devils squared the account on Wednesday but now owe the Buffaloes a half a box of softballs.
Keeping with the sportsmanlike custom of giving the ball to a player who hits a home run, Grayson County kids took four well-mashed, neon yellow Worths home with them Wednesday after the Blue Devils powered to a 9-2 win in a nondistrict game at Floyd County High School.
INDEPENDENCE –– After a three-inning dress rehearsal on Thursday, Grayson County blanked Fort Chiswell for real on Friday, taking a 10-0 win in a six-inning Mountain Empire District game.
The two teams got three innings in the books on Thursday in Max Meadows before thunderstorms chased them from the field with the Blue Devils leading 4-0.
Technically, it wasn't a perfect game. But in a manner of speaking, Sydney Nester batted a thousand Thursday.
Nester, a freshman right-hander for Carroll County, recorded all 15 outs by strikes as she and the Cavaliers blanked Galax 16-0 in a lightning-delayed, run rule-shortened five-inning game at Mountain View Park.
Carroll County improved to 5-0 with the win, dropping Galax to 4-4 with the nondistrict loss.
HILLSVILLE — Virginia State Police responded to a farm accident in Hillsville on April 7, which resulted in the injury of a local teen.
According to First Sgt. Mike Musser, state police responded to the scene on Freemont Road, where "a young man who had a round bale of hay on a truck, exited his vehicle to open a gate. The truck started to roll off, and as he was attempting to stop it, the truck pinned him."
AUSTINVILLE — A couple from North Carolina suffered non-life-threatening injuries following a single vehicle accident on Interstate 77 in Austinville last Thursday.
According to a report on scene from State Trooper S.M. Cochran, police were called to the 22 mile marker on I-77 North, after a truck and camper crashed on the interstate at approximately 12:05 p.m. on April 9.
"The lady was driving the vehicle, and the trailer started swaying back and forth and she lost control," Cochran said.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll County Sheriff J.B. Gardner has confirmed that he will run for a second four-year term in the November general election.
Gardner, a Republican, was first elected to serve as the county's sheriff in 2012.
Throughout his current term, Gardner says that the sheriff's office staff has worked with one another and the community to create a number of beneficial programs and practices for the betterment of the county, and that he would like the opportunity to continue those efforts.
It's a staple complaint that any government above a local level "doesn't care about the little guy," but this isn't always true.
Putting paid to the saying, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring came to the Galax City council chambers for a public safety roundtable involving the City of Galax and Carroll, Grayson, Patrick and Smyth Counties.

- Boston is 11-2 SU in its last 13 games when playing New York
- The total has gone UNDER in 11 of Boston's last 15 games
NBA Pick/Preview
New York is only a game and a half out of the top seed in the Eastern Conference but it is taking on water with just two straight-up victories in its last six games. The latest setback, an 88-85 loss to Brooklyn this past Monday as 3.5-point home favorites, dropped the Knicks to 25-14 SU overall and 20-18-1 against the spread. They are 11-8 SU (9-9-1 ATS) on the road this season and the total has now stayed UNDER in four of their last five games.
The wear and tear of playing close to 40 games is starting to take its toll on the oldest team in the NBA. The injury list is starting to grow and a number of key players including Raymond Felton have already missed a substantial amount of games. The team hopes to have Felton back for this weekend but he remains out of the lineup for this game. Overall, the Knicks are averaging 101.1 points a game while giving-up an average of just 96.3 on defense, but they are ranked 26th in the league in rebounds and shooting 44.4 percent from the field.
Age and injury have been issues for Boston as well but it actually comes into this matchup as healthy as it has been all season long. The problem with this team has been consistency especially over the past month with a four-game losing streak followed by a six-game winning streak. That six-game run has now given way to four straight losses that have the Celtics back under .500 for the season at 20-21 SU and a costly 14-24-3 ATS. They are 13-8 SU at home but just 8-11-2 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games.
The key matchup in Thursday's contest will be Boston forward Kevin Garnett verse the Knicks Carmelo Anthony. These two got into it the last time the two teams met and some bad blood may still remain. The Celtics will also need a big night from Paul Pierce, who leads the team in scoring with 18.9 points a game. Overall, Boston is ranked 23rd in the league with 94.9 points a game while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from three-point range.
Neither team comes into this matchup in solid form, but the advantage goes to Boston playing at home. It has won eight of the last 10 meetings SU and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven games. The Celtics won the first meeting this season 102-96 as 7.5-point underdogs on the road and look for them to post another SU victory at home.
Boston 92 New York 87

Ad player vs Duce player

I guess I always take the side that my partner doesn't want, which typically seems to be the deuce side. I'll play whichever, I have no preference.
Usually, I pretty much assume I'm playing the ad in mixed if the guy has a ridiculous kicker to the BH, because most girls I've played with can't handle that big hop or out wide lunge return.
I think whenever they protest, I let them see and then it's funny to see if they want to try to switch it up in a second set or not. Sometimes you just have to let people take their medicine. I also prefer to not have every ball come to me at 15-0 or 30-15 or 40-30 as a returner in mixed at least (LOL).
I think everyone likes to think they are the stronger player because they are playing the AD side. There IS no stronger side, there are just stronger players.
I just think you play simple math: Statistically, you are just MORE likely to be playing MORE balls by playing on the deuce side because everything starts out on that side. If every game had the same number of even points, then I'd say it's a wash. But, it's not. And...I come to play, so I certainly want to play more shots!
The funny thing I've noticed is that at lower rec level doubles (8.0 COMBO and below) many people still can get a LOT of forehand returns off the deuce side, either off a runaround, a slow serve, or just because for most players serving at that level it's easier to serve center or wide on deuce side. So, you can get that FH. Much harder for players that level to get the ball up the T.
At levels above that (maybe 8.5 combo and above), you start seeing that BH down the middle a LOT LOT more. I think it's just much more part of the game and that deuce returner is really under the gun because that's usually his/her BH that has to go all the way over. It's a small window to hit into with what is usually most people's weaker wing.
Most players (at least all the ones I've seen in my years of playing) are way more versatile with their FH, they can bang it, lob it, slice it, roll it, inside out it. Because of that, I think many players feel the FH is their better shot that they actually have more court space to "safely" hit into on the ad side. I know a lot of players - even at good levels - do NOT feel that way about that BH return inside out. They know they can't get that ball over there and have to lob.
At the pro level, I think they pretty much squeeze the middle with most stuff and leave the alleys completely alone - even in rallies - daring you to try to redirect off of 120 mph serves or huge groundies and volleys. If you can do that, you are Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer or Leander Paes. You are NOT the guy at the park.
Granted, many break and key points are on the AD side, and it's always the final point of a deuce game. I just think that the AD side better player discussion is overplayed.
I think the real issue (on who should play which side) is can you return serve consistently well enough to get it away from the poacher, whatever side you're on?
Knowing tendencies, knowing all of that, that's how you should make your decision in my opinion.
I like both sides and have never tried to be "phobic" about either one. People that are like that are not people I want to play with!
Mental game? That's for people without sick timing on their forehands.

Pat Robertson needs to just shut up. Someone please zip up that mouth of his permanently. The televangelist received a call on his show The 700 Club from a woman struggling to forgive her husband for cheating on her.
Robertson's response? "Well, he's a man."
He also wants you to not talk about the cheating. Just stop it.
The octogenarian went on to share his wonderful advice on how to fight through to forgiveness, saying that the woman should begin to focus on why she married her husband in the first place.

Hello Ken,
Thank you very much for such good time spending in your house. We enjoyed
being there because your house inside is very nice, clean and very well
organized. We used a lot the table on the porch for our meals relaxing and
enjoying summer air and grilling our food!!! All bedrooms are very well
maintained, mattresses of the beds are so so good!!! It was convenient that
there are 2 TVs with so many channels. My kids were having fun watching
their favorite shows and movies. All my family were happy staying in your
house!!! We will recommend your house to our friends and family members.
Thanks so much,
Nicely kept, clean, cozy place. Close to ski areas. Great Owner. Ken was very nice and easy to coordinate with.
We spent 4 days in this great house with my family, went there for NYE. We had a great time, the house is very cozy and comfortable. It has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation away from the big city during any season. It is very clean and neat, I love the kitchen. It was the 7 of us and a small child and there was plenty of space for everyone. The community was great, we went to the gym and played some pool in the club house. Definitely going back soon, during the summer/spring, can't wait to check out the swimming pools and the beaches around the gorgeous lake. The owner - Kenny, was very helpful and friendly, a very good and honest person. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone!
We stayed here for five days. The house was awesome. Everything we needed was there. It was like being home, but better because your on vacation. There was a lot to do in the house. Everything was there plates, pots, blenders, movies, radios, play station, comfy beds etc. The locale was great. It was right by a lake. Within a 45 minute radius there was everything you wished for there like waterparks, white water rafting, historical sights etc. The owner was a nice guy. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone. We definitely want to go back.
-Crystal, family, friends
We only stayed for the weekend but wish it would have been longer. The house is so spacious and homey. I have stayed at other places in Arrowhead, but it was so convenient to the front gate and the main lake is right across the street. We brought our bikes and rode around and then came back and sat around a small fire outside. Your pictures don't do the house justice. I can't say enough what a nice relaxing time we had. Will get back to you to come and stay longer next time.

Great place to stay! Had everything we needed. This lake front property was awesome. Enjoyed fishing, boating and just relaxing at night by the fire. Owner was friendly. Would definitely go back.

I did that about 20 years ago and I still have it today in use as my coffee mug place on my counter. Very durable.. but light in tone.
