Wednesday Service Plays
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Tony Weston
These teams have played seven times so far this season with the A's holding a 4-3 advantage over the Tribe. These teams last played a full set April 11-13 when Oakland took two of three games, including the first game of that series that saw the same pitching matchup as today with the Indians trotting out C.C. Sabathia and the A's playing behind Joe Blanton. The A's ended up winning that game 9-7 as Oakland beat up Sabathia, scoring nine earned runs in 3 1/3 innings off the defending Cy Young award winner. Blanton went 7 2/3, giving up five earned runs, but still picked up the win. Cleveland took Game 1 of their series last night, but Oakland is still 11-7 on the road, while the Indians are only 11-12 at home this season. Sabathia has struggled this year with a 2-5 record and a 6.55 ERA. He'll struggle again as the A's beat him up once again.
Take Oakland on the road.

Yankees vs. Rays
Joe Girardi gives the ball to veteran right handed pitcher Mike Mussina to try to stop the bleeding in New York as the Bronx Bombers have been anything but that of late. Good news for the Yankees is their opponent in this game is Shields for Tampa Bay and he has never beaten the pinstripes with a career record of 0-5. Moose on the other hand is a career 17-7 against these Rays. Our Wednesday selection is New York Yankees.

Los Angeles at MILWAUKEE -110
Tonight I will gladly take the Brewers over the Dodgers at Miller Park.
Los Angeles blew a 3-1 lead last night, as the Dodgers took it on the chin for the 5th straight time, while the Brewers ran their winning streak to 3 straight, and 4 of 5 overall.
It will be Lowe against Parra, and while Parra is just 1-2 for the season, he is 1-0 in his 4 starts at home. Milwaukee has gone 5-2 at home since 2006, and they catch Derek Lowe in a bit of a funk, as Lowe has been rocked over his last pair of starts, lasting just 10 innings, while allowing 11 runs to score in a pair of losses.
Lowe is 0-2 over his 4 road starts this year with an ERA over 5. This is not the guy you want on the mound when you are trying to end a 5-game slide!
Take the Brew Crew.

Today we're on the playoff hardwood with a complimentary play on the Celtics as the take on the Cavs in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal.
Home team. It's all about the home court apparently in this series and we know the Celtics have been Jeckyll and Hyde this posteason, being unstoppable at home and lousy on the highway.
So expect that trend to continue in this one as the Celtics are back in Boston where they've beaten the Cavs five straight times, including an easy win in Game 2 of this series after squeaking out a win in Game 1.
Boston is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS at home this postseason while the Wizards are 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS on the highway in the playoffs.
We're playing Boston tonight because this team has done a hell of a job in shutting down LeBron James. If I told you he was going to be 20-of-78 from the field through four games against the Celtics, you'd have said the series is over and Boston won 4-0. But no, in all honesty, the Celtics are lucky to be tied after the Game 1 win.
Now for some reason, LeBron just can't get going in this series and the supporting cast was OK at home and OK in Game 1 but lousy in Game 2. Expect more of what we saw in Game 2 tonight. Boston has had the best defense in the league all season and what they are doing to LeBron is no surprise. Now they will tweak a little on how to stop some of the supporters and blow the Cavs out tonight.
Boston is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 home games, 11-5 ATS in their last 16 against the Central Division and 7-1 on Wednesdays. We like the defense of Boston, and tonight you'll see the Big 3 of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen all have good games and deliver a nice and easy 20-point blowout.

Tonight, another UNDER in the NBA, as we see Cleveland-Boston staying at a snail's pace, and the points hard to come by.
These teams have played 4 games in this best-of-seven set, and 3 of the 4 have stayed UNDER the posted price, including both games contested on the parquet floor.
Overall, 5 of the last 7 meetings between the teams have held LOW, and we like this one to as well.
The Cavaliers have played 12 of their last 16 games dating back to the regular season UNDER the posted price.
You can assume their won't be too many fastbreak points in this one, nor many three-pointers that aren't heavily contested. Swing game in the series tonight, and tonight the defense is the winner.
Play the UNDER.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Chris Jordan
Cleveland is in a must-win situation, I believe, since they'd love nothing more than to go back home with a 3-2 lead in the series and a chance to wrap things up on its own court.
I don't know whether or not this team can actually pull off the outright win, but I like the points since the Cavs will certainly be gunning for the upset win. Cleveland found the offensive rhythm in Game 4, and let's be real, it still hasn't played its best basketball yet.
If there were ever a game in this series we are going to see Cleveland's most balanced effort and best production, this is the one. Grab the points here, as the Cavs keep it close in challenging for the outright win.

Whether Kobe is truly injured is not even the question here for me as I think he is not that bad or else the number to this game would not have been released so early or at such a high price. The guy is obviously not 100% and whether that means 90% or 75% is enough for me to go against him. It's not like his injury has lowered this line at all as it is still extremely high as the oddsmakers still expect a burial for the home Lakers. Phil Jackson's squad could definitely win this thing going away because they are stout with Bryant, Gasol, Fisher and others but they did just lose the last two games and let's not belittle the talent the Jazz display. Boozer and Williams are stars and Jerry Sloan's squad overall is no-joke when you throw in Harpring, Okur, Kirilenko, Millsap and others. Sure they have not been nearly the same team away from Salt Lake City but all teams have shown a little bit of an inability on the highway vs. at home. I would be a little surprised if the Jazz were to shock the world and take the very stunning 3-2 series lead but to get this number back with a Utah team that has a great upside against a bit of a banged up Laker squad seems to be the right side to me.

Florida Marlins +125
The Florida Marlins have been cooled off by the Cincinnati Reds so far, losing the first two games of this four-game series, but we look for Florida to get back in the win column tonight.
Ricky Nolasco is generally regarded as a weak link in the Florida rotation, but he has allowed three runs or less in three of his last four starts. Granted, he went six innings in two of those outings and just five innings in the other, but we would actually take a repeat of those efforts here, as we have great confidence in a Marlins bullpen that ranks fourth in the Major League with a collective 3.17 ERA. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati pen ranks 25th at 4.34, making the Fish a Bullpen System play here.
Bronson Arroyo has been a real mystery for the Reds, as he is simply too talented to have a 7.14 ERA and a horrendous 1.71 WHIP after eight starts. Still, whatever the reason, Arroyo just can't get going and he was not sharp the last time he faced the Marlins, allowing four earned runs and 12 baserunners in six innings. Furthermore, the bullpen cannot be counted on for relief at this point either.
Florida had won seven straight games entering this series, and we look for them to start a new streak tonight.
Pick: Marlins +125
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Boston Celtics Under 176.5
The first two games between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers in this building produced just 148 and 162 points respectively, and we look for another snooze-fest as this series once again returns to Boston.
It is no secret that the Celtics have been like night and day home and away in the playoffs, and it all begin with their defense. Boston is allowing just 75.5 points per game in six home playoffs games, as opposed to a whopping 99.6 points per game in five road games! As a result, their home playoff contests are averaging a combined 171.2 points, and you could probably shave a few points off of that already low total here given Cleveland methodical style.
The Cavaliers are on a 12-4 Under run of their own stretching back to the regular season. LeBron James did actually get some support from Cleveland's role players in Game 4 Monday, but even with that, the Cavs managed just 88 points at home vs. a determined Boston defense. We now all know that the Celtics are more intense defensively at home, and after watching the Cavaliers score 72 and 73 points in the first two games here, we have no reason to believe that they could top 75 here.
Thus, look for an identical pace as the first two games of this series.
Pick: Cavaliers, Celtics Under 176.5

1 Unit on Houston Astros -119
With as confident as the Astros have been playing, I can't see them going down to the Giants again tonight. The Astros are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a favorite and 9-2 in their last 11 overall. The Astros are 20-6 in their last 26 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30 and 4-0 in Moehler's last 4 starts. The Giants are 0-6 in their last 6 games as an underdog, 0-6 in Misch's last 6 starts, and 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win. We'll bet the Astros on the road tonight.

1 Unit on Phillies -139
The Phillies have dominated the Braves recently, winning 9 of the last 13 matchups and I like the Phillies again tonight against a Braves team which is yet to get things figured out on the road. The Braves are 7-19 in their last 26 road games, 0-6 in their last 6 games as a road underdog, and 0-5 in their last 5 vs. National League East. The Braves are also 0-5 in Glavine's last 5 road starts. The Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a home favorite and 9-3 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Phillies are also 30-12 in Myers' last 42 starts with 5 days of rest. A well rested Myers means trouble for the Braves tonight. Take the Phillies.

AL FREE B's FOR WED
CLEVELAND -155 on ML over Oakland--The Indians starters haven't allowed a run in 34 innings. That's sick ! CC Sabathia looked great vs Toronto in his last start. He allowed only 1 earned run and striking out 9 in seven innings. He'll beat Blanton tonight. The Tribe have won four of five and have three shoutouts in those.
ROYALS +110 on ML over Tigers--Verlander got smoked by the Royals the last time he faced them, allowing 4 runs in 6 innings. He's lost three straight starts twice this year. His ERA is huge and his record is even worse at 1-6. He's lost all three road starts this year
Toronto -125 on ML over Twins--Halladay has never lost to Minnesota in his career. He's 6-0 in 10 career starts vs the Twins. Jays are looking for their third straight win. Boof Bonser goes for Minney and he stinks !
NL FREE B's FOR WED
BREWERS -105 on ML over Dodgers--Milwaukee goes for their fourth staright win and the Dodgers are facing a 6ht consecutive loss. Furcal is now on the DL with a bad back and the LA offense has sunk. Meanwhile, the Brew Crew have scored at least five runs in three straight. TAKE THE UNDER 9 RUNS. LA isn't scoring lately.
Astros -120 on ML over Giants--Houston stumbled Tuesday, but they'll get back on track tonight. The Stros opened May with 9 wins in 10. They hit .306 in that stretch. SF has won 15 of 20 vs Houston in SF since 2002. Pat Misch has never won a start in 22 games as a starter for SF. Talk about the "No luck kid"
San Diego +105 on ML over Chicago--The Padres have Jake Peavy going tonight at Wrigley and the they've won 3 of 4. They snapped the Cubs four game win streak Tuesday night. Peavy hasn't gotten a decision in five starts, but is among the league leaders in ERA(2.47) and strikeouts(52). He'll beat Ted Lilly, who's gonoe 3-1 in his last 4 starts. TAKE THE UNDER 8 RUNS
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Dave Malinsky
San Diego Padres @ Chicago Cubs
PICK: Under
Last night we saw some average pitchers making good pitches at Wrigley Field, with a heavy wind out to left not becoming a major factor in the game at all. Tonight we will see very good pitchers making even better pitches, and with the temperature down and the wind direction changing (blowing in), we have excellent value here in a game in which each team is hard-pressed to score.
There are few challenges more daunting than facing Jake Peavy under tonight's conditions - he can throw the ball right through bats (52 strikeouts vs. only 41 hits allowed so far this season). But while he is a prominent part of this equation in the eyes of the betting markets, it is Ted Lilly's misleading 3-4/5.24 that leaves those 8's out there. Lilly got off to a bad start this season, the kind that can weigh heavily on overall statistics until the middle of the summer. But take a look at the last four starts - a 3-1/2.08 in which he struck out 25 batters, while allowing only 17 hits. That stretch included solid wins form this mound in which he held the Mets and Diamondbacks to just two runs on seven hits over 13 innings, while striking out 14, and now he is stepping way down in class against a feeble San Diego offense that rates last in the N.L. in runs scored, batting average and doubles; is tied for 12th in home runs; and is 14th in stolen bases. And the Padres are particularly anemic against left-handers, hitting just .209 so far.
Peavy and Lilly are not the whole story - both bullpens bring their key arms without any trace of fatigue ratings. That makes the runs hard to come by the entire evening in this one.

Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Play: Los Angeles Lakers
Utah at LA Lakers (NBA Playoff Action) 10:35pm ET UTAH is 2-15 ATS in road games after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points over the last 2 seasons. LA LAKERS are 24-13 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. LA LAKERS are also 13-3 ATS versus good foul drawing teams - attempting less than 27 free throws/game -during the 2nd half of the season and later. Look for Kobe to be well rested and the home team to dominate in this battle. Pick on the LA LAKERS
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Utah at Los Angeles Lakers
Pick: Game Total OVER 213
The Lakers have showed the ability to score inside and out in the playoffs, especially at home. It has equated to an uncharacteristic 120 points per game at home in the playoffs! It isn't just a playoff thing for this Lakers team however. They have topped the century mark at home in 18 of their last 19 games. These last 19 games at home has shown the Lakers averaging 114 ppg, and they have cranked it up a notch in the playoffs. Utah is certainly not immune to scoring on the road vs the Lakers. They have played four games here this season, having posted 109+ in three of the four. This one should be played at a fast pace, and both teams over the century mark, and should have little difficulty topping this total.

In the Indian independent music scene, the survival of a band beyond its college days is still seen as a miracle even at a time when the fledgling industry has made some big strides. The quest for a career often keeps them away from music once they are out of campus. But, 'Chaos,' a Thiruvananthapuram-based metal band, is a juggernaut that refuses to stop rolling.
On Friday, with the release of their debut album 'Violent redemption', the band would have completed a full circle from that uneventful day in 2005 when they started off with nothing more than the knowledge of three chords and an undying passion for the metal genre.
'Violent Redemption' is the first ever thrash metal album to come out of Kerala, and one of the handful of the genre to be produced in the country.
"The album has been in the works for the past many years and has gone through several changes to become what it sounds now," says Nikhil.N.R, the guitarist of Chaos.
Chaos started off just like any other band in the scene, playing covers of their favourite acts, right from Metallica to Pantera. It had quite a cult fan following in the State and outside, thanks to the near perfect covers and high energy performances.
But two years down the line, they morphed into a beast of a band with some original tracks that earned rave reviews in the circuit. Nikhil, and the vocalist Jayakrishnan. S, are the only two original members from that time.
"There have been quite a few line-up changes from the time we started off, the reasons ranging from careers to illness. This had put a spanner in the works and probably delayed the album a bit, but no remorse there," says Jayakrishnan.
Filling the rest of the line-up now is Vishnu on the bass and Rohit on the drums, both of whom joined late last year. Chaos is now fresh from a breathtaking opening act for 'Pentagram', when the band performed in Thiruvananthapuram recently.
Politics and metal
The album 'Violent Redemption' is a heady concoction of politics and metal. With songs that are a commentary upon issues ranging from the Gujarat riots to corruption, it is expected to ruffle a few feathers. It has been much awaited in the circuit, considering the buzz generated when three tracks from it were released online last year.
Their sound stays true to the old school thrash metal pioneered by the likes of Slayer and Metallica with frenetic riffing, high tempo drumming, and screaming vocals.
Chaos became the only Indian band to be featured in the international metal compilation album 'global waves of destruction' released by 'Metallity', an acclaimed online magazine.
The song 'Merchant of death' was featured in the 'Metaller's Mayhem' compilation album featuring 25 top bands from India. It has also been featured on popular online radio stations, the latest being the Swedish radio station 'Metal Mix'. The music video of their song 'Game' is a hit on youtube.
The album will be released online at 8 p.m. this Friday on their facebook page (chaosindia) and will be available for digital purchase through itunes, amazon.com, oklisten,com and other online platforms. Produced by Keshav Dhar (of Skyharbor band), 'Violent Redemption' is set to be a landmark album for the Indian metal scene.

FYI: New RH Kernel RPMs out
As of last night, the kernel-*-2.4.18-17 packages are out and on the RHN servers. Any idea when the new RPMS for nVidia display cards will be out ;)?
The current RPM's dont work with the new kernel.
I'm a nubie so please bear with me.
I got the new kernel RPMs and installed them using the nifty update program. The new kernel won't let X start up. I get an NVdriver error. I take it this is why you are asking about new driver RPM's?
Will the new ones have to be installed while logged into the new kernel? If so, can the entire process be done in the command line mode since X won't start?
I set my system to boot into runlevel 3 to ease the pain and X runs just fine with the old kernel.
Re: The current RPM's dont work with the new kernel.
Good luck!
I assume you updated the kernel using up2date. Usually up2date will complain because installing the Nvidia drivers changes some of the libraries that RH installed.
What I usually do before using up2date to update the kernel is go back to nv as the video driver by un-editing XF86Config-4. I also logout to a console and remove both the nvidia drivers as follows:
rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX
rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel
Then I reboot and run up2date from X. Once the new kernel is installed, I reinstall the nvidia drivers using source rpms from the command line and return to the nvidia version of XF86Config-4. I actually keep the original "nv" version and the "nvidia" version, so I am not really re-editing the file.
Finally, I always install the kernel source and update the kernel source as there are several applications such as FlightGear that require the kernel headers that match the running kernel in order to compile.
This is also necessary to installl from source rpms. By installing from source rpms, you are sure that the nvidia drivers match the running kernel. This is well explained in the pdf file from nvidia.
Hope this was clear.
FYI: New RH Kernel RPMs out
is painful when trying to rebuild the nvidia drivers and reload them. I could rebuild the drivers against the source, but when I tried to update and install them, I would get driver already loaded. I saw someone else's post about --force and that worked.
I am sorry, but as a Windows 2000 administrator, we could not deploy this OS on the desktop and maintain the OS and drivers as easily as WIN2k.
On the other hand, I am learning a lot about Linux and being challenged to find solutions.

Re: Re: FYI: New RH Kernel RPMs out
Re: Re: FYI: New RH Kernel RPMs out
Not much of a curve from Win2k to XP. I am sure Linux has it's strong points. I am also sure that a Service Pack install in Win2k (What a kernel update would be in Linux?) would probably not force me to reinstall a video driver.
Re: Re: Re: FYI: New RH Kernel RPMs out
But because of the completely different way Linux works, it's almost better to assume that you're at that point, rather than already a sysadmin, when you do comparisons like what you feel comfortable doing with different OSes. I don't mean for that to be any kind of personal attack or anything, just an observation that that kind of thinking is sometimes better.
Edit: for the antivirus definitions, for one, there are like ten viruses for Linux/Unix floating around, and the ones that do exist rely on getting root access. If they only ever got lowly-user access, then they wouldn't physically be able to change critical files, because of permissions -- and you can even set flags on files, like "immutable" and "append-only", so that even root can't change a file (if it's immutable) or do anything but add to it (if it's append-only).
But even still, you can do fun things with NFS (or some similar network filesystem), so that your definitions are all on one machine, "shared" across the network. Then all machines talk to that "share" whenever they need access to their definitions, just like it's on their local drive. Then, all you have to do is update one set of definitions -- the ones on the server -- and all the clients will use the new definitions next time they scan.

Migrating one EV server in to a new clustered environment - what's the best way?
Hello again,
As the title tells you, I'm planning to have my old EV both upgraded from version 9.0.3 to 10.0.3 version and migrate it to run on new set of 2 nodes clustered servers... The SQL is already in a separated clustered environment and the archives are stored in centera that will also remain the same location... all servers are already 2008 r2 64bit so there is no need to worry about the migration of the platform from 32bit to 64bit...
In what order should I do this and which directions to follow? Can anyone advice me on this one?
Thanks in advance!
Sani B.

You can use the Server Settings Migration Wizard.
Enterprise Vault Server Settings Migration wizard
Enterprise Vault Server Settings Migration wizard
How To | CMS-XML
Migrating clustered servers
If you migrate clustered Enterprise Vault servers, you must deploy the target servers in a new cluster. Refer to the Enterprise Vault documentation, which contains the information you need to configure prerequisites and install Enterprise Vault in a cluster.
During the deployment of the new cluster, you can attach to the target servers the data locations that were used by the source servers, with the following exceptions:
In both Microsoft Cluster Services and Veritas Cluster Services, you must create a new data location for the MSMQ queues. Do not attempt to use the MSMQ data location that was attached to the source servers.
In Veritas Cluster Services, you must create a new data location for the RegRep resource. Do not attempt to use the RegRep data location that was attached to the source servers.
About the MSMQ settings, I now have Cluster service for Enterprise vault set. And I ran the deployment scanner, it's complaining about the msmq queues being in the original C:drive this normal or am I missing some step where I was supposed to do something to move the location?
And how do I get to do the steps:
24- Now, Cluster service for Enterprise vault is set. We can deploy Enterprise Vault Application to two nodes. Before this you should use "prepare my system" and "deployment scanner" for a proper installation.
25- You can find both of these tools from EV Install Launcher as shown below.
deploying the EV to two nodes and use the "prepare my system", did not see that option trying to run the setup.exe istalling the EV server...
Sani B.
And another question, when you first install the 1# EV server, is it to the active node or passive node? and when this is done do check the activity to the other node and then install the 2# server or can it be the unactive when the installation is happening? And why would the second installation complain that it could not install the directory and the installation fails..? missing some step there as well?
Sani B.
And yet another, in basic one server to another migration the importing migration packade is done right after the EV server has been installed BEFORE you do any configuring etc... Is this the same when I import the package to a primary node where I have "empty" EV server installation as well and does the "make this a cluster server" settings come after importing the migration package?? So that for a brief while the 1# node is just one ev server until I somehow turn it into a clustered one??
Sani B.
From this guide:
I have completed step 27... now what? Do I just import the migration package to the primary node and after the migration somehow convert it in to a cluster OR is there a section in migration that asks if this is a cluster? OR shoud I do now something to make the ev installation know that it is part of a cluster and is in a node1...??
You are now ready to import the migration package on the primary node. The SSMW should realize it is a cluster and take care of things.

The "race of the century"
The horses' owners relented to the pressure and agreed to the meeting. The event, deemed at the time the "race of the century," would determine the top horse in North America, as it featured the best of the United States (Man o' War) versus the best of Canada (Sir Barton's owner was John Kenneth Leveson Ross, a former commander of a destroyer in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War I). The terms of the race were simple. Only the two colts would run and under weight-for-age conditions, the four-year-old Sir Barton to carry 126 pounds (57 kg) and the three-year-old Man o' War 120 pounds (54 kg). The distance of the race would be 11/4 miles, and it would be run on October 12, 1920, at Kenilworth Park in Windsor, Ontario.
Man o' War began the race as the overwhelming favourite at 5-to-100 odds, with Sir Barton the underdog at 550-to-100. Sir Barton, on the rail, was more docile than Man o' War and broke first with the flag. His inside position gave him a temporary advantage as they moved into the stretch for the first sweep past the stands. The lead was short-lived, however, for Man o' War caught up quickly and went ahead to stay after they had traveled only 60 yards. Man o' War won by seven lengths and took home the $75,000 purse, the richest prize offered for a race in North America to that point.
Final years
His racing days having ended with his defeat of Sir Barton, Man o' War was retired to stud. He made news again, though, when his son War Admiral captured the Triple Crown in 1937 and when Seabiscuit, Man o' War's grandson, became one of the turf's greatest campaigners and money winners in 1935–40. (A race between War Admiral and Seabiscuit in 1938 would become the second "race of the century.") Man o' War died in 1947 and was inducted into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in 1957.

welcome to APUG.
It is sometimes useful to know some "basics" in order to understand why certain things are the way they are.
VC-Paper is built of two emulsion layers with different spectral sensitivity and different gamma (grade). As long as you stay with grades 1-3, both layers are exposed in a way that the overall speed stays the same. At grades 00/0 and grades 4/5, basically only one layer, with each about half the speed, is exposed.

Emil's Urban JKD Street Self Defence App consists of defence techniques for the 7 most common street attacks - 7 mini instructional videos showing how to use martial arts techniques (based upon Jeet Kune Do concepts) to protect yourself against the 7 most common street attacks.
Emil's Background:
It all began at the age of 5 after watching a Bruce Lee-movie, from then on he knew he wanted to become a martial artist. Emil was lucky enough to meet Bruce's brother, Robert Lee and eventually Emil started taking lessons in Jeet Kune Do. Emil has now met and trained with the likes of Guru Dan Inosanto and Sebak Taky Kimura, Sifu Andy Kimura.
Jeet Kune Do was not the start of martial arts for Emil though, He had already been training in Tae Kwon Do since the age of 3 (in the WTF system). He started under his uncle Armen Martirossian who is a 7th degree black belt. Emil is now a 5th degree black belt and also trains in the ITF system (in which he has a 1st degree black belt) Emil has trained in many more martial arts styles; Such as Kung Fu, 5 Animal Style, Choy Li Fut, Jiu-Jitsu, Western boxing, Thai-boxing, Filipino knife-defence, Street fighting and Chinese Kick boxing.

To win YOU must never train so specifically or in a step by step robotic process, doing this will get

In my last blog post, I discussed some insights that surfaced at the most recent meeting of the Veterans Administration Acquisition Academy, on whose advisory board I sit. This time I want to discuss an issue that one of the board members raised.
The Defense Department, unlike civilian agencies, requires that new hires in contracting have significant prior coursework in business administration. This person said that, in her experience, there were very good young people being hired in civilian agencies who had been liberal arts majors in college, who would have been screened out by the Defense Department.
Somewhat later in the discussion, it was noted that almost half of new government hires right now are veterans, thanks to veteran preferences in the federal government personnel system. (This figure is of course considerably higher than that in the VA). Veterans, the person noting this pointed out, have been socialized into a very structured and hierarchical environment.
Both these observations got me thinking about the academic literature on team diversity. When you think about it for a second, the most-important reason for creating teams -- especially when the team's work product is a decision or approach to a problem -- is to bring more diversity into the ideas considered for a decision. Diversity adds to the information and to the perspectives available for decisions.
Particularly with demographic diversity (gender, race, age), sometimes this advantage can be offset by the in-group/out-group tensions that often appear in demographically diverse teams. But, especially with sources of diversity that do not create these kinds of fault lines (such as diversity of college major), the benefits for a team of diverse composition are clear.
I thought about these remarks about business majors and veterans in that context. I fully understand the reason for the business requirements DOD officials have introduced for new contracting hires -- they want to get away from seeing contracting as a clerical, administrative function and make it into a business advisor function.
Nonetheless, I wonder if the rigidity of "shall" is appropriate here, rather than a weaker approach such as giving some sort of preference to people with business courses. Can liberal arts majors bring some interesting new perspectives -- not to speak of writing skills that are often otherwise sorely lacking -- to a contracting team?
The same question applies for veterans. The fact that they make up 45 percent of new hires does not yet mean that workplaces will be dominated only by a veteran's perspective, especially since there is also a stock of people already at the workplace who don't share that same background. But it is something for managers to keep an eye on when team assignments are given. Indeed, as a general matter, research suggests that decisions about team composition -- are the right people selected for a team in the first place? -- often determine how successful the team is even before the first team meeting.

Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
Delivering business outcomes with continuously changing IT portfolios requires project managers to have a more entrepreneurial skill set.
The interconnectivity of the Internet of Things makes cyber threats inevitable, says NIST fellow Ron Ross.
Federal CIO Tony Scott says the new law could mean some CIOs will be out of work.
Most CFO Act agencies have made budget requests to fund Digital Services teams.
Flexibility to identify and hire the most likely to succeed is the key. Not every business major makes a great contract manager, and there is nothing to indicate that an exceptional liberal arts major can't do well in the contracting field. Nobody picks a winner every time, but your chances go up if you don't place artificial limits on the pool of candidates.
We had some former musicians who did pretty well in our contracting group. There may be some gems in the fine arts as well . . .

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I love market corrections. The one we're going through now should come as no surprise. Don't believe the headlines that proclaim the sky is falling. I tend to sit closer to the side of CNBC's Larry Kudlow, who says The Economy Isn't Collapsing, Nor Will Stocks. While I am not as bullish on America as Kudlow, I've been around long enough to not overreact to the stock market's natural gyrations.
When the market swoons and stocks tank, investors tend to fall into one of three camps: Panic sell, buy low or do nothing. I often fall into the last two camps. Ultimately, my cash flow at the moment dictates whether I can make considerable buys or if I have to stay on the sidelines. More than three ways exist, however, to react to what amounts to a normal downturn. In fact, I would even advocate for reacting somewhat aggressively during an all-out crash.
Consider Using Options
After Lululemon (LULU - Get Report) reported earnings, the stock took a bit of a dive. Over the last week or so, it has showed some signs of recovery, flirting with the 76-to-77 level, only to succumb to both company-specific and macro pressure. I opened a position in LULU after earnings. Right now, I am sitting on unrealized losses.Follow TheStreet on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook. Some investors would call me crazy for not having a stop loss on the position. I do use stop losses, particularly on short-term trades based less on the long-term, but more on technicals and near-term up or downside catalysts. But I shy away from them on long-term conviction plays. I bought LULU because I believe it's a well-run company that will continue to grow at a rapid clip. CEO Christine Day has the factors brick-and-mortar retailers absolutely must have to not only remain relevant, but survive:

Deeplinks Blog posts about Fair Use and Intellectual Property: Defending the Balance
As the White House doubles down on its attempt to pass legislation to fast track secret trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, their oft-repeated refrain about these deals' digital copyright enforcement provisions is that these policies would not alter U.S. law. In a 2013 interview, US Trade Representative said this about the TPP's copyright provisions:
what we have in there are things that are already in U.S. law about making sure, whether it is copyright or other protections, are fully enforced around the world.
Copyright policy is not something that should be rushed into without adequate evidence and consultation. Yet since only last December, the Australian government has sent stakeholders scrambling to develop a new code of practice on copyright that would could change the lay of the land for the Internet industry for decades to come. The code is designed to force ISPs to adopt new "reasonable measures" to deter copyright infringement—measures that the Australian High Court had earlier decided that they were under no obligation to adopt.
We didn't know how much copyright maximalists longed for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement—until we saw this creepy "open love letter" to the TPP from one of the biggest, most powerful copyright lobby groups, the Global Intellectual Property Center. We couldn't have made this up if we tried. Here's one part of it:
You know, dear TPP, that I will drop to one knee and say "I do" for gold—no, diamond—standards for intellectual property. My creative and innovative talents need your protection. Without trade agreements like you, it would be a long, hard journey to jumpstart our economies.
Here at EFF we rely heavily on freely licensed software to run our websites, organization, and activism campaigns. Unlike proprietary software that restricts users from tinkering with the programs they run, free software carries with it the ability to modify, study, share, and improve a program's source code. From a security standpoint, software freedom is a necessary precursor to security and privacy because nonfree programs make it difficult or impossible to inspect and verify the programs running on a machine. Without the freedom to fix security holes and share these changes with others, nonfree software leaves computer users to fend for themselves.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) poses massive threats to users in a dizzying number of ways. It will force other TPP signatories to accept the United States' excessive copyright terms of a minimum of life of the author plus 70 years, while locking the US to the same lengths so it will be harder to shorten them in the future. It contains DRM anti-circumvention provisions that will make it a crime to tinker with, hack, re-sell, preserve, and otherwise control any number of digital files and devices that you own.

Granted, one of the world's hottest moms, Alessandra Ambrosio, could use a sandwich or three, there's still something so alluring about this long and tall and hot all over bikini model that just goes perfect with the sand and surf and some two-piece exhibitions.
It was Alessandra's turn finally to step before the Victoria's Secret cameras in St. Barts and strut and stretch her stuff in promotion of women around the world purchasing V.S. bikinis, and I'd like to say Alessandra earned her paycheck.
More meat on the bones — needed. Jump her bones — most definitely desired. Enjoy.

Leaked Beta Footage
I want to start this off by saying that the Beta has not yet begun. This was leaked from an ex-Blizzard employee, who must've been in the Beta prior to it beginning.
Now, normally we don't post leaks and the like, but I figure with Beta fever and the lack of information from the Webcast this morning, you'd all love to see some cool stuff... That in mind, he's posted up a video (as seen below) as well as a gallery.
Now, you may notice if you pause at just the right moment that Skill Videos are displayed on the character creation screens... Don't they look familiar? It also explains why the videos had no sound to them. Either the sound is added programmatically inside D3, or there is just no sound on them period. Regardless, those videos were extracted from the Beta client and leaked to the web, they were not supposed to be used for any Community posts or game guides, or anything else that we may have speculated on.
It's also worth mentioning that two new D3 Beta-only subforums have been added to the Community Site, the Feedback Forum and the Bug Report Forums.

"The weather was picture-perfect the entire trip. I took over 1,000 photos on my iPhone, charged by a solar charger I carried. I had only one afternoon of rain, while crossing a high pass in Yosemite, and one brief 3 a.m. thundershower.
"Toward the end, Kat and I felt fall in the air. Her sleeping bag wasn't as warm as mine, and on the night before we were to tackle Mount Whitney, she called to me at 1:45 a.m. from her tent, saying she was freezing and could we get started on the climb to warm up."
Not an easy start:
"We left camp that morning at 3:45, climbed a challenging trail by headlamp and reached Mount Whitney's summit at 8:45 a.m. We were the first to the top. The old steel National Park Service sign, bolted to a boulder that proclaims the elevation, was frozen over."
How long at the summit?
"After a photo session and a brief warm-up in the stone hut that sits near the summit, we began the 11-mile hike out to the trailhead, reaching Whitney Portal and Kat's car (delivered there by a shuttle service from the Kearsarge Pass trailhead where I had met her) at 5:20 p.m."
"Dinner that night at Seasons in Lone Pine seemed to us – still grimy from the trail – fit for gods, and my long, hot shower before early bed was, to me, a near-religious experience."
What all this taught him:
"I learned great respect for the pioneers who walked hundreds and thousands of miles to their destiny in the West."
What he'll remember most:
"The unending mind-bending scenery, admirable people met, the aloneness with yourself and your higher power, moments of transformative clarity, satisfaction of meeting constant physical and mental challenge, rebirth of ability to laugh at yourself and your frailties."
And above all:
"The certain knowledge you have a loving and supportive wife waiting for you back home. Then, if you're lucky as I was, a brave, strong, sure-footed, fast-walking, high-spirited hiking partner like Kat Cobb with whom to share the final challenging miles and ascent of Mount Whitney."

1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 13 reviews
Perhaps as a gesture of peace between the Germans and the French, Volkswagen got rid of the English-language Rabbit convertible and renamed it the French-tinged Cabriolet. Based on a Rabbit frame, the 2-door 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet was perky, friendly, and nimble like its prior animal namesake, but the new name conferred a more stylish and sophisticated image.
But really, there aren't many bells and whistles here and no changes from 1986. The 1987 Cabriolet ran on a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine, and could reach a whopping 90-horsepower. No, not breaking any records, but the handling and steering were precision German-made and so the Cabriolet was zippy and fun. Cloth bucket seats and an AM/FM since the 1987 Cabriolet was meant for cruising with friends, who needs anything but good tunes and decent seats for that? A 5-speed manual was standard, giving you abotu 23/25 mpg. An optional 3-speed auto tran was available, but not nearly as much fun in a convertible.

ARLINGTON In a tragic irony, an Arlington school teacher who was part of an international motorcycle safety campaign Sunday nearly lost her life in a crash.
Jane Boswell and other friends of Amy Keller are keeping vigil at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.
She's definitely awake and knows what's going on, Boswell said. She remembers the accident.
Keller, who was returning home from a worldwide Motorcycle Awareness Ride event in Grapevine, suffered a broken collarbone, a damaged hip, and her body is covered with bruises.
A lady went through a red light on Cooper, and Amy reacted because she saw this car not stopping, Boswell said. She slammed her brakes and it made her impact the back end of the lady's car.
The Grapevine event remembered riders who have been killed by distracted drivers.
They don't own the road; we all own the road, and we need to protect each other, Boswell said.
The motorcyclists want safer streets so they can enjoy their passion. They said Keller survived only because of her training. They hope her crash encourages other motorists to pay attention.
She is one of the lucky ones, Boswell said. There's others that are not so lucky.

MeticoloR' sketchbook - The Way to Even.
Hello Everybody!
and First of all, I apologize for my english which is like my french accent: TERRIBLE! ha ha.
To tell you a bit about me, I stared a graphic design course since February in Australia. I've been interested in drawing and painting for a while but never really give a go at it.... since I started this school, I started to draw as well but not enough to progress obviously.
Anyway, 2 days ago I read a the thread of MindCandyMan. It was very inspiring and motivating. I'm starting form rock bottom as well and I am going to draw at least one sketch a day and paint at least one painting (I intent to paint digitally) a day.
I will put everything I do in this thread. As MindCandyMan said himself: I'm bearing my soul to everyone. I really want to progress and to learn from everybody. So Critics and Comments are more than welcome.
I have school during the day and wok at night so I'll be able to post most of my work late at night.
As I said before I started two days ago and did some scketches, unfortunately I can't scan them and my camera has no battery , so I will post them tomorrow when the battery will be full.
yesterday a friend give me a graphic tablet wacom A5, so I'll be learning to paint with it.
the first try was an amazing sensation and so much fun.
I follow a tutorial on the tutorial forum of conceptart and try to do a pear. It's my first try and it took me around 1 hour and a half.
so here it is:
It's 5.00 am I need some sleep now
Thanks to all of you

Hey, welcome at ConceptArt!
This is already a very good start, I think. You watched the object very carefully, thats great. Maybe it could help you to change the background colour into one that is a little like the original background. It looks a bit nicer on the one hand, and on the other hand the object will reflect the colours of surrounding objects. It´s easier to paint them realisticly that way.
Keep on posting!

Starting my journey as an Old Rookie - update 24_06_09
Hi Katanasoul! thank you so much for your critics, advices and for the encouragement you gave me. I will try to change the background tonight. It would be hard because I already move my plastic pear and I have to put it at the same place! ha ha. I went to your sketchbook as well and your work is just incredibly Awesome!! I really like your pencil drawing it's really realistic and the shadow are great!! I hope I'll be as good as you some day ...
As promise here are the sketches I did two days ago.
On the first one there are some gesture drawing I did the 22 of June. It's not good at all I recon but I'll try one tonight to train myself to draw a bit quicker
On the second one I draw some torse study from references (sculpture and painting of Michelangelo) I did tjat same day
Finally on the third one are some torso drawing again I did the 23 of June. My aim with the torso is to draw at least 50 torso in a month, so I try to draw 3 or 4 torso a day... hope my math is good ha ha.
My sketches are not that good but it's what I done so far... so here it is:
P.S.: sorry for the quality of the picture but I don't have a scanner and My camera suck. ha ha

Greetings MeticoloR. It is with great pride that I take a hard recognition in to your work in the sense that we are on the same level of skill sets, in my opinion, and we have the same devotion towards getting better. The last week for me has been revolving around production. I, myself, and trying every single day to get better in one way or another, and therefore I have made the decision to follow your sketchbook thread through your journey as well.
If you take a look at a few of my works, I am certain you will see we are resembling one another! Its shocking in that sense, but never the less I believe in the long run we may be able to help one another.
My best piece of advice would be to pick up any life drawing book, and practice sketching from what you see in the book. Remember not only to copy as best as you can, but to consciously think about why the artist has decided to put the stronger lines in where theyre at in the drawing. This will help you picture how forms are built for stability and functionality in the drawing -- and in all hopes, it will help stick for when you go off on your own. I am following my own advice here, and its helping with my forms tremendously!
Looking forward to more work from you. Remember to never compare yourself with another artist, but only to relish in what they've learned so that you can better yourself.

Update 24_06_09
NothingReallyExists - Hi and thanks for the advice that you gave to me! I heard a lot about Andrew Loomis books. Actually I'm searching the net to find them (I heard that his books are free to download and great to learn to draw) dunno if it's true but it's worth to try... I think you're right about our skill level but I sincerely think that you have a good sense of rendering I went on your sketchbook and some stuff that you've done are just great... If you want to progress in digital painting I think it's worth to have a look at this: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=107217
Have a look at it and tell me what you think.. I spent 2 hours yesterday reading through this thread and they provide some great advice to paint for newbie like us.
Thank you again t stop on this thread and give some advice
Here is a drawing I did yesterday night
The first one is a torso study again and a figure drawing of the same sculpture. I'm not happy with the rendering: I try to render the muscle and flesh under his skin but it turned out to be like a mess
The second one his a painting of an onion that I did to train to bend in photoshop and hell yeah it's very hard. I think I'll give it a go some day after I'll be able to paint a pear and an applevery well! ha ha.
thanks all again by stopping on this thread!!
June 25th, 2009 #6
Again some study I've done today.
Thanks to NothingReallyExists I'm on my way to improve my figure drawing study. all of this figure are from Vilppu figure drawing book. It helps me a lot!! I love it!!!
I post also some study that I've done for a fruit rendering in colour pencil - they took me around 8 hours each. One the pomegranate one I just did the bottom part (the cut view of the pomegranate) and my girlfriend did the big one. I hope you'll get what I mean...
I did the all capsicum rendering though: hope you like it.
I post also a painting of a sphere done with photoshop and my great wacom after reading the "peer project thread"!!
So here they are:

here it is:
June 26th, 2009 #9
Your onion is very nice. Just remember that shadows can be very colorful. I can see that you reflected some of the color of the onion into the shadow, but the fact that you started with a grey shadow leaves if feeling very plastic. I think Katanasoul's suggestion of added in the color of the surface that your objects are sitting on would be good for you. The problem is that white surfaces will have colored shadows, not grey, and that is often a tricky subject for new painters. Usually white objects will have a bit of a neutral blue shadow, but if the shadow is warm it will seem more brownish.
June 26th, 2009 #10
Wow, that beautiful work, congratulations, and continue to send more people to see!

A lion and some lips...
ALEXANDRE da Vinci - thanks for those kind words!!
Here some more sketches:
June 26th, 2009 #12
Wow, those are niiice lips but those fruits are fantastic. They look really wonderful. I'm actually hungry after looking at that pomegranate! It's impressive colored pencil work.
Some finer hatching or cross hatching on your sketches will work to make your line quality look cleaner on pieces like the lions head, although I do like the strong thick outer lines. Other than that, keep up with the studies and maybe try drawing some other body types or ages? Your working from statues?
I like the Cow eye a lot too.
June 26th, 2009 #13
ya man those still life vegetables are great! i think i know what anatomy book those pics are from, i think i drew those lips bfore. nice SB so far pally
June 27th, 2009 #14
OmertA - Thanks for your nice comments pal
dierat - Thank you for ur precious advice! I working on colour theory actually. my eyes are bleeeeeeeding!!! my brain too but t's worth it.
ALEXANDRE da Vinci - Thanks Man!!!
MoKhi - thanks you for ur comments too! I'm still working on it!! hope I'll be able to do it soon! Yeah I use sculpture references for the torso study. but I use Wilppu book for figure drawing. I looking for some people too draw from... if someone got a link will be very useful to me.
Jesus Food - Cheers mate! Yeah there are from an anatomic book, I always use references, I can't draw from imagination yet...
Here a new drawing. a monster i did from imagination. I saw a drawing of a mairmaid with tentacles and I wanted to do something a bit similar but more animalistic... After looking at it I see lots of anatomy issue and I don't think that was a good idea too draw its arm so separated (is it the good word?) (hope you get what i mean) I'll try to draw its arm closer.. its hips too narrow too I think.
I'll post it anyway... Feel free to comment!!!

Dude Rendering + some study update
Here are some head study I've done after reading Andrew Loomis book! this book is Amazing! My drawing still sucks ,but I think I start to understand anatomy of the head... I hope ...
After that I drew a dude (from a photo reference though). I was happy with it til this morning... after I looked at it I found that his face is way to short..
I post it anyway.
By the way, If someone knows how to change the pear picture next to the title of my thread. Please tell me!! I've been trying for a while unsuccessfully!

nice rendering on the pear, but it looks more like glass rather than an organic object.
June 29th, 2009 #17
HTML rulez d00d - Hey dood! thanks for commenting on my thread. Actually the pear I drew from is a plastic pear! ha ha. I know I should have chosen a real fruit but I didn't have one at this time..
June 29th, 2009 #18
Keep going like you are and it will pay off! Great studies and those red peppers look awesome! The thumbnail image is the 1st one in the 1st post so you'l have to remove the pear and add the new pic 1st and then upload it again, or just add the pear to your 2nd post and leave the 1st one for the thumbnail!
Keep going!
June 29th, 2009 #19
hey there man! nice studies you've got going here!!
and i see you've started putting them together too! on your head studies, i'd suggest you pay attention to proportions and be careful to get that curvy form! they seem a bit flat;
and on your portrait, i think the nose and eyebrows are particularly realistic! the left eye seems a bit odd though..or the right one...hmm..i can't really tell but there's something about them that could need some twitching
keep it up!!~

kidult - Hey Man! Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments. I will keep going!! I admit that sometimes it's so hard and I don't really feel like drawing... but since I grab a pencil I instantaneously forgot this feeling... another technique is to get through those awesome sketchbook in here and for sure it gives me the boost to continue. unfortunately, I'm a bit busy right now but I still find time to do a drawing, at least one a day..It's not a lot I know! ha ha...
Thanks for the tip too! I was thinking of putting the head instead of the pear but the head rendering is not good neither, so I will see...
BlackDelphin - Hey Girl!! thank you for stopping here again! Just for the start of my second week of drawing!! thanks for the compliment too! Yeah I still try to get that curvy form at the start (when I draw the ball) (Hope you get it) But it always look weird after that .. I'm going to work on it I aim to draw at least 10 head a day but I put so much challenge on myself recently I think that I have to rethink about it (I have to draw 50 torso for this month and 50 figure drawing and I've done 10 torso and 13 figure drawing so far.. ) ).
About the guy rendering: now that I said that I can't look at it the same way!! ha ha! for sure it's his left eyes is toooo big. or it's the other one which is too small... mmmmh I have to work that out. thanks for stopping by and pointing out those issue without you I couldn't make it!
So! here are some sketches I've done tonight and a rendering of some cube and sphere I've done to train my rendering skill:

Haven't been here for a loooooongtime!! I didn't have internet for a month or so.
It's so a big pain to move out and move to a new place every year..
I've still manage time to draw a little every day though .
Here are some of my last drawing:
July 28th, 2009 #24
Great studies in here! I really enjoy posts #20 and 21. For the eagle, I feel like he could use a bit darker values to give him a bit more contrast and help him pop out. Also the area directly below his beak is a bit flat. Keep up the good work!
July 30th, 2009 #25
Update 30 07 09 - Crits welcome!!!
dierat=> Thanks for your encouragement and crits!! yeah I totally agree with you about the eagle! In fact I'm a bit lazy! I've done it with dot and I couldn't add any dot anymore! ha ha. This technique is quite interesting though... Thanks again!!
zanna92 => Thank you!!!
I haven't drawn much during these 5 days! I read a lot of books!! about drawing of course! I've bone some painting as well. still suck but I'm improving!! yeah!!!

Just an aircraft I've done with cinema4D. I know this sketchbook is about drawing but as I tryi ng a bit of everything I'll be posting a bit of everything !!
Some design stuff later on.
Ah if someone can tell me how to write between images that would be great!!
Many thanks

A little update again.
A self portrait I did this morning in 15 mn. I wanted to draw it pretty quickly just to see if I'm able to see shapes without working on them (planes, circles, etc...) dunno if u see what I mean
I tried to shade with strokes too but still got a lot to learn!!
Here it is:
July 31st, 2009 #28
great studies man. i think u should draw more faces tho
July 31st, 2009 #29
You're welcome to post any medium in your sketchbook, I think 3d just isn't as common as most people stick to 2d. I don't know much about modelling so all I can say is it looks very nice
After you upload images using the attachment manager, you can add the attachments into your post using the paperclip icon (above the add a link/remove a link icons). That way you can specify where your attachments will appear in your message and write text between them.
Btw I love the apple in post #25! Just be careful that you're not making your edges too sharp. It's tempting to make the edges very crisp with digital because, well I guess because we can, but it makes the form feel very flat. Like it's a photo someone cut out of a magazine, not a 3d object with rounded edges angling back in space.
Keep up the good work!

update 02 08 09
Jesus Food - Thanks Man!! yeah definitely.. And that's what I'm doing now but sometimes I'm just so frustrated I want to change and do other things ha ha! But I'm still working on some anatomy and still reading Loomis book for that!! it's great! What do you think I should do to improve my head drawing skillz? beside drawing some more I mean... I'm following what Loomis wrote but all my faces turned out looking alike....
btw I saw your sketchbook and your drawing are AMAZING!!!
dierat - thanks thanks thanks!! yeah I like to do a bit of 3D as well but I'm not good at it neither! ha ha. Thanks for this tip as well!! your saving my life here ha ha... About the apple I saw that something was wrong too and maybe it's because of its edge. I didn't quite understand what you said above... should I makes its edges softer ??? because when I look at my apple I see sharp edges!! ha ha...
here are some head study:
some are drawn from imagination some observing photos and copying other artists drawing (I know it's bad to do that but it helps me understand some form and how to place them ha ha)
And here a character a did for fun... btw thanks dierat!!! now I can do it!!

BALTIMORE - Ervin Santana stuck around longer than you might have expected Saturday night. But in the end, it wasn't enough.
It sounds like the same storyline the Angels' season is following.
Santana served up two home runs in a five-run first inning and the Angels never recovered in a 6-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
The loss was the Angels' second consecutive to the last-place Orioles and their fourth in the past six games.
Coupled with the Rangers' 7-6 victory over the Mariners on Saturday night, the Angels are now 4 ½ games out in the AL West with 11 games to play. That matches their largest deficit in nearly a month (Aug. 20) and moves their 'tragic' number down to seven (the combined number of Angels' losses and Rangers' wins that will eliminate the Angels from contention for the division title).
The Angels remain five games out in the wild-card race.
"Shoot, if we could hit the 'reset' button on that first inning," Angels catcher Bobby Wilson said. "Ervin was lights out after that."
Santana did allow just one hit after the first inning, pitching seven innings on a night when it didn't look like he would survive the first. The Angels right-hander walked the first batter he faced on four pitches then gave up a two-run home run to J.J. Hardy. A single by Vladimir Guerrero and another walk were sandwiched by a pair of fly outs before Mark Reynolds hit a three-run home run.
Santana hit a batter and gave up another single – retiring just two of the first nine batters he faced – before getting out of the first inning.
"I was all over the place in the first inning," Santana said. "After that, I just refocused and threw strikes."
Santana's rocky first inning followed a delayed start to the game. Home plate umpire Brian O'Nora was hit in the right ankle by one of Orioles starter Zach Britton's warmup pitches and had to be helped off the field. He was taken to a local hospital where X-rays were inconclusive.
While both teams waited, fellow umpire Alfonso Marquez changed into his protective gear to work home plate. The start of the game was delayed 14 minutes.
Britton was able to stay on the field and throw some more warmup pitches. Santana, meanwhile, sat in the Angels' dugout through the delay and his team's turn at-bat, cooling down quickly on a chilly night (the game-time temperature was 62 degrees).
"I was sitting down in the first inning for a half-hour," Santana said. "After that, you can see it was cold out there. But that's not an excuse."
The stutter-step start to the game couldn't have helped, Wilson agreed.

Spring practice annually gives fans a peek into what their team might look like during the upcoming season. Who's going to start? Who will emerge as a star? With spring practice in the books, it's time to take a look back at what we learned about the SEC West during spring practice.
Alabama's holes on offense will be negated by a solid defense
All of the talk this offseason in Tuscaloosa will revolve around who will replace recently-departed quarterback Greg McElroy and wide receiver Julio Jones. But will it really matter? Nick Saban's philosophy is to run the ball and play good defense, and the Tide will be able to do that next year thanks to the return of running back Trent Richardson and a defense that could be as good as the group that led the Crimson Tide to the 2009 BCS National Championship. Defensive coordinator Kirby Smart's group is littered with NFL talent like safety Mark Barron, cornerback Dequan Menzie, linebackers Dont'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw, and defensive tackle Jesse Williams. As long as the quarterback (AJ McCarron or Phillip Sims) can limit mistakes and take care of the football, Alabama will be right in the thick of the SEC West race.
Arkansas is going to be good…really good
When Knile Davis took over as the No. 1 running back last season, the Arkansas offense became a machine. Even if new quarterback Tyler Wilson has some growing pains, Davis' presence coupled with one of the best receiving corps in the country should give him a nice cushion to learn on the job. The Razorback defense is a question mark, but linebacker Jerry Franklin and defense end Jake Bequette lead a veteran group that's been through the SEC wars. Veteran defenses typically are opportunistic, and that might be all that the Hogs need to become SEC West champions.
Auburn's roster is thin…very thin
The defending national champions have largely become an afterthought in the SEC West thanks to the departure of 31 scholarship athletes from last season's roster. THIRTY-ONE. The 2011 season will be very similar to head coach Gene Chizik's first season on the Plains. The first team if talented (although inexperienced), and will be able to compete with any team in the SEC. But the second team will be very unstable, and the Tigers will have to rely on a lot of freshmen. Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn will adjust his system to fit Auburn's personnel, so I don't think the Tigers have a lot to worry about on offense. I mean, the guy turned Chris Todd into a record-setting quarterback, so something tells me he'll be fine with Mike Dyer, Emory Blake and Barrett Trotter/Clint Moseley. But if the Tigers suffer some injuries – especially in key spots like offensive line and linebacker – things could head south in a hurry.
LSU may have found its new offensive star
All of the attention in Baton Rouge has been focused on the battle at quarterback. Incumbent Jordan Jefferson appears to have that battle won for now, but the more important question that LSU answered this spring was who was going to replace departed running back Stevan Ridley – and it's Spencer Ware. The Tigers finished 11-2 last season, even with Jordan Jefferson's constant hiccups, and Ridley was the biggest reason why. Ware stepped up this spring to become the next running back in line, culminating with a 94-yard, two-touchdown performance in the spring game. If the Tigers can match the running game they got last year, anything they get out of the quarterback position will be a bonus. Don't forget, despite Jefferson's mediocre play last season, LSU was essentially two quarters from playing in the BCS National Championship Game.
Stop me if you've read this before…Ole Miss has quarterback issues
South Carolina quarterback coach G.A. Mangus confirmed Tuesday night that Stephen Garcia is not transferring; so Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt can erase that option from chalkboard. For the second straight season, the quarterback battle in Oxford is riddled with uncertainty. Randall Mackey exited spring practice as the front-runner, and might be the winner by default if things stay the way they are right now. Veteran Nathan Stanley abruptly left the program a week before spring practice ended, Zack Stoudt missed the spring game due to an academic suspension and West Virginia transfer Barry Brunetti is waiting on a transfer waiver from the NCAA (which, if you recall last season's Jeremiah Masoli fiasco, might take a while for the boys in Indianapolis get to). At least with four quarterbacks, there are options in case one or two don't pan out. But the way things are going at Ole Miss, Nutt may be hitting the transfer market again sooner rather than later.
Chris Relf is ready to take control of the Mississippi State offense
Remember this time last year when Tyler Russell and Chris Relf were considered neck-and-neck in the offseason quarterback battle at Mississippi State? My how things have changed since then. Relf took control of the Bulldog offense during Mississippi State's run to the Gator Bowl, and hasn't looked back. The senior threw for more than 200 yards in each of his last three games of the 2010 season, and that momentum carried through spring, as he established himself as the unquestioned leader of the Bulldogs. Mississippi State's offense wasn't exactly intimidating last season, but a confident Relf coupled with an underrated rushing attack behind Vick Ballard and LaDarius Perkins, should bring that high-octane offense that Bulldog fans were promised when head Coach Dan Mullen arrived much closer to reality.
