Looking for One Great Guy....
I am a fun loving down to earth tall gal who leans more on the conservative side. I am ambitious, energetic, funny, healthy and creative. I am not one who seriel dates and interested in a monogamous relatioship with one great guy who has the same beliefs. I was raised in a military up bringing with a father who made a career in the US Navy. This has taught me the meaning of Honor, Courage, Respect, Integrity, Loyalty, and Commitment. I value those nearest to me family and friends are especially important. And, I am looking for one guy who shares the same. My interests would include cooking and preparing various ethnic dishes as well as great desserts. I enjoy just about anything that has to do with the outdoors, from cycling the back roads,running an occasional race, setting sail, improving my golf technique to weekend excursions. As well as enjoying some of the finer things The Nation's Capitol has to offer as in Operas, Symphony, Theatre to Charitable Black Tie Functions. My match would be a guy who has current photos posted of himself, available for long term relationship, trustworthy, uses no foul language,table etiquette,chivalrous, could handle his own,non-insulting, non-vegetarian courteous,follows through, self reliant, goal oriented, financially secure, strong willed,organized, family/friend oriented, well traveled, calm natured, handyman, enjoys cooking, diversed in various cultural activities, sense of humor, keeps themselves in good form, medically cleared, no psychiatric history, NO history of alcoholism as there is no history with myself nor my family and most importantly a best friend. If you enjoyed what your read and find we share in similar interests as well as beliefs, then it would be great to hear from you.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Cycling, Dancing, Golf, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Cats, Dogs, Horses
Favorite places?? It would have to be any place that is on or near the water. So, I would say Annapolis, Old Town Alexandria, St. Michaels, Carmel/Monterey or any Beach. Many places I would hope a significant other would care to share with me
Cooking (mainly Italian since there is a long line of family members who were chefs and bakers) and Entertaining for Family/Friends who stop in frequently. Nothing says it better than being in good company.
Let's see..Enjoy home improvement projects. Next project will be re-modeling the kitchen. I'm a sponge when it comes to learning (esp. history), photography and cooking.
Seems I have a couple of books going simultaneously and a stack of magazines that I get signed up for from my family. I can't complain, I really don't mind reading on finance to how to create another dish or dessert.

Planet Money: Why Preschool Can Save The World
Originally published on Tue October 23, 2012 4:10 pm
On today's show, we meet a self-described robber baron who decided to spend his billions on finger paint and changing tables. We revisit decades-long studies that found preschool made a huge difference in the lives of poor children. And we talk to a Nobel prize-winning economist who says that spending public money on preschool produces a huge return on investment.
We'll have more on preschool this weekend on This American Life.
For more: Tulsa's Educare Center in the Tulsa; Paul Tough's How Children Succeed; The Carolina Abededarian Project; and "A new cost-benefit and rate of return analysis for the Perry Preschool Program: A Summary."

NEW ORLEANS — Police say a man and a teenage boy have died and another man and woman have been wounded in an early-morning shooting spree in eastern New Orleans.
Multiple news outlets report the quadruple shooting took place about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of the Plaza Park Apartments. Coroner Jeffrey Rouse identified the dead men as 26-year-old Darnell Cheneau and 16-year-old Terrance Williams.
Authorities say the surviving victims, a 30-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, arrived at the hospital in a private vehicle. They both had been shot in the leg and were listed in guarded condition.
The motive for the shooting is unclear. Police have not identified any suspects.

Re: Advice on removing snapped s/s bolts from alu block
Easy outs are almost useless in most cases. If the easy out snaps you are going to have a much harder time with any other method since easy outs are so hard.
Best way that works for me is using a tig welder to build the broken bolt up high enough to then weld a nut of the same metal type to it. This works about 90% of the time when a bolt that is broken is a different metal that the surrounding metal.
Also as was already mentioned take in to a shop with a drill press to make sure the bit goes in straight and then use a helicoil.

My room was next to the entrance/exit to the bar. So, occasionally, there was some rumour in the late evening. This accounts for the "medium" rating. But this is only a minor problem.

Si sta molto bene, ottima professionalità, camere molto grandi, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Unico neo è la distanza dalle città più importanti, ma in 20 minuti di auto si è a Ragusa.

The quality of the accomodation tools( more special trhe bath room)is rather poor. The good state of tools as to be checked more regularly, especially at the beginning of the holydays.

The Villa was fairly large, with swimming pool and restaurant. The restaurant, although rather bland looking, served fantastic food. The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning. Breakfast was also delicious! Without a car we couldn't have reached this Villa.

Very good appartments and friendly staff. Small language problems; the English of some reception employees is rather poor. For instance asking for an "extra towel" gave some difficulty. Great pool!! Wedding parties take place almost each night in the conference building on the same property. The guests take a lot of parking spaces, but they don't cause disturbing noise levels. Difficult to reach by public transport. If you arrive by train at Vittoria you can take a "taxi" (no sign on the car; the driver asks you if you need a taxi; €15,- for me, but I didn't discuss the costs in advance).

From Our Editors
Harvest Kitchen/Bar understands that lunch is for lovers of all things sandwich and salad. Sink hungry chompers into a roasted-beet salad ($9), cider slow-roasted BBQ-pork sandwich ($10), or mesquite-smoked prairie-chicken salad ($13) dressed in a lovely little strawberry-basil vinaigrette. Master chef David Wirebaugh collaborated with his cooking crew and local farmers to create refreshingly simple lunch, breakfast, and dinner dishes that showcase the diverse agricultural products of Kansas. Fire up your evening with the fire-roasted shitake-onion tart with basil pesto and aged cheddar ($8), or gobble garden goodies in field greens layered with cured cottage bacon and a grilled corn cake sprinkled with smoked-apple vinaigrette ($8). A natural-fed, 12-ounce KC strip steak ($26) will fill any appetite bucket to the brim, and a fire-roasted half chicken with baby potatoes, herb carrots, and natural au jus ($15) is the perfect portion for a half picnic.

text: Hi there Been using a Sony HX510 with the 80gb hard drive for a while - great little machine. Until recently, I forgot all about the "pause live tv" function. My question is really this.... How does this function work? I mean, obviously when you pause the tv broadcast, does it carry on temporarily recording on the hard drive? I guess it must? If so, does anyone know what record mode it does this in? (HQ? - the picture looks the same as the broadcast when you resume play)... Is there anyway you can dub the paused material to the HDD? I found out you can go backwards through the footage from the moment you paused it up until the end or when the programme catches up with real time) - but just wondered - if you spotted something you then wanted to keep when you resume play if you could dub off the material.. I guess not??? Any help appreciated Thanks Paul

I'll have made changes to my map document that I don't want to save. Perhaps I was doing "what if" scenarios, or playing around with things and didn't like it. If I go to the File menu or the Open command and I open the same document I'm in, ArcMap does nothing. What I need to do instead, like fraxinus mentions, is click File > New, OK, and click No when asked to save changes. Then I go to Open and pick the map document I had opened seconds before. What fraxinus (and I now) are asking is that there be one command in the file menu to undo all changes, or reload the map document from disk. Of course ArcMap should ask if we want to discard our changes or something, but if we click Yes, then our map document would open up as we had last saved it.

List of working Video Plugins in Plex?
Posted 14 November 2008 - 09:32 AM
I am relatively new to Plex and really love it so far.
I installed it on my MacMini and it is soooo much better then Front-Row!
Allthough I have been trying to install some plugins, none of them seem to be working on Plex. I guess they are all build for xBox or something...
Does anyone have a list of confirmed Plex plugins? Audio or Video or anything? The only ones I got working now are the iTunes and iPhoto plugin. None of the streaming plugins seems to work on my machine...
Anyone have the same problems? It would be great to have a list of working plugins for mac-users, wouldn't it?
Thanx in advance...
Posted 14 November 2008 - 01:04 PM
Make sure you put the video plugins in
~/Library/Application Support/Plex/plugins/video/
I use the BBC iPlayer and ITV Catchup video plugins fine.
Most plugins that work for XBMC should work for Plex.

I tried to use XBMC's youtube channels plugin in Plex, but it does not seem to work - don't the XBMC plugins work on Plex at all?
As far as I know, XBMC plugins are different than Plex plugins. I do not think they are compatible.

There is an alternative in Plex though that will allow you to generate a plugin from a youtube feed. Check it out here: http://dev.plexapp.c...ugin_kickstart/
This is exactly what I was looking for but once I generated the bundle and loaded it in Plex when I try to play a video I get an Error- Could not read input stream (or something similar). I tried it both ways and get same error. Bummer.

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
Housing, marina, offices, shops planned in Lannon -- in 30 years
Talk about long-range planning: The Lannon Stone Products Inc. quarry, in its namesake community, could eventually find new life, including housing, offices, shops and a lake marina for small boats.
But that isn't likely to happen on the site, which has more than 100 acres, for around 30 years, when the quarry operation winds down, says Jerry Newman, Lannon Village Board president and Plan Commission chairman.
A proposed planned unit development agreement will help assure the quarry's owners that those future uses will be permitted by the village, Newman said. Such long-range planning is typical for the quarry business, he said.
A Plan Commission hearing on the proposed agreement will begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Lannon's Municipal Building. The quarry is on Good Hope Road, east of Lannon Road, and part of the property crosses into Menomonee Falls.
Lannon Stone Products is operated by the Dawson family, which is in its third generation of ownership.

ot: help me name my akc mastiff pup
I don't like naming dogs people names, it's weird for me.
I usually name my pets after a tv/book character I like. We named our new puppy Merlin after the wizard. If I had a huge dog with a big presence, I'd probably name him Gandalf! I also named my old dog Cobalt because I was bored in Chemistry class and started looking down the periodic table chart to see if any would make a cool name for the dog I was getting that weekend.

Indiana Falls in Final Minute in Opener at Chicago
May 17, 2014INDIANA SPORTS PAGE
CHICAGO – Elena Delle Donne scored 23 points and Jessica Breland added 13 as the Chicago Sky overcame an early deficit to beat the Indiana Fever, 74-71, in the season opening game for both teams.
Following a technical foul and with the clock stopped at 1:08 remaining, Delle Donne and Breland combined for three free throws to erase a Fever lead.
Indiana broke a 65-65 deadlock with two free throws by Natasha Howard and a jumper by Briann January, as Indiana owned a 71-67 advantage with 1:46 to play. A Delle Donne jumper with 1:32 to play pulled the Sky within 71-69.
Then, following a foul by Howard and a technical foul assessed to the Indiana's Erlana Larkins, Delle Donne toed the free throw line to pull within 71-70. Breland followed with another pair of free throws and, later, with 11 seconds remaining, Sasha Goodlett hit two more as Chicago scored the game's final five points from the charity stripe.
The Fever had a chance for the lead when Shavonte Zellous' 3-point attempt bounded off the rim with 11.7 seconds left.
"The technical foul certainly hurt us," said Fever coach Lin Dunn. "That swung momentum. At the end of the day, we had a shot to win. We shot ourselves in the foot."
Echoed Zellous, "We weren't poised enough at the end of the game. We played so well in the first half, but at the end, we made mistakes. We didn't execute."
The Indiana loss spoiled an outstanding pro debut by Howard, the fifth overall pick in the WNBA Draft. The loss also ended Indiana's three-game win streak in season-opening games, and ended a streak of five straight Indiana wins at Allstate Arena.
Howard, a lanky forward from Florida State who her teammates call "Slim," enjoyed a debut that featured 6-of-16 shooting from the floor. She added 10 rebounds, three steals, a pair of assista and record-tying six blocked shots. The blocked shots tied the team's franchise record overall and broke the mark for a rookie.
Asked to commend on Howard's debut, Dunn said, "I love her. I thought she played really well … for a rookie. I wish we'd gotten the ball to her more."
Despite a 30-12 lead in the opening quarter, Indiana was outrebounded 36-33 and managed just 25 points in the second half.
The Fever scored 11 unanswered points early in the contest to command a 14-4 lead, and Indiana stretched it to 30-12 with 22 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Chicago used a 16-6 run to cut into the lead. The Sky got within six points, 40-34, with less than two minutes before intermission. The Fever took a 46-36 lead into the second half, and the Sky clipped the gap to five after three periods.
Chicago used a 10-2 run to take its first lead of the second half, 65-63 with 6:27 to play.
Zellous added 14 points for Indiana, and Marissa Coleman pitched in 13 in her first game since signing an offseason free agent deal with Indiana. Goodlett, who teamed with Breland on the Indiana roster last season, finished with nine points and 10 rebounds for the Sky.

Analyst Report Recognizes OpTier BTM as Best Transaction-Centric BSM Solution
NEW YORK, July 20 /PRNewswire/ — OpTier®, the leader in Business Transaction Management (BTM) for the enterprise, today announced that Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT management research and consulting firm, has recognized OpTier BTM(TM) as the "best transaction-centric BSM" solution available in its July research report titled "EMA Radar(TM) For Business Service Management (BSM): Service Impact." Alongside companies such as HP, IBM and CA, OpTier is one of only 15 "BSM elite" vendors selected for inclusion in this report.
In this research report, EMA Vice President Dennis Drogseth calls OpTier "the single most effective transaction monitoring solution" evaluated. Drogseth also goes on to describe OpTier as "one of the most powerful, well-focused, and cleanest" BSM solutions. The report further recognizes OpTier's CoreFirst and Experience Manager products for their ability to complement other BSM solutions. OpTier's commitment to integration with systems including CMDB/CMS is also noted in the report.
"OpTier was on our list of Rising Stars in software a couple of years ago, so it is no surprise that they are now a leader in BSM," said Drogseth. "We named OpTier BTM a strong value in this report because it is the best solution for service-centric transaction monitoring on the market and because of the company's commitment to integration. OpTier stands out for its combined capabilities in well-focused automation, relatively fast deployments, dynamic linkages to business outcomes, visibility into transaction layer interdependencies, and a culture focused on supporting its customers' individualized requirements."
With OpTier BTM, organizations can accurately and continuously monitor transaction response times for websites and other IT resources, and isolate and resolve issues more quickly. This improves the performance of corporate websites, helps to prevent service outages and ensures that changes in IT infrastructure do not adversely impact customers.
"As the space of BSM and APM were once dominated by a few large players, we're pleased to see how application management expectations are changing and to once again be recognized by EMA," said Israel Mazin, chairman and CEO of OpTier. "Transactions are the single best way to optimize how your applications and business services are performing, from the end user across the datacenter and into the cloud. This market needs to change to accommodate the increasing complexity of applications and we're proud to lead the business-oriented IT initiative with BTM."

I was an avid collector and player of the WOTC minis game (I have at least one of every one, and over 1700 minis total). With the release of EotE, I am excited to have another use for them. I've actually been trading for a few that weren't very good in original minis game, but that seem like they will very useful in EotE (both for PCs and NPCs).
Anyone else using the WOTC minis with EOTE?
For PCs, I think there are many that will work well for EotE races and classes (many of these will also work for NPCs). And, there are tons of other possibilities for opponents/NPCs.
What ones do you think will get the most use (besides Stormtroopers )?

Chris Brown was reportedly left fuming after he caught Rihanna texting her ex, Drake.

So yes, the pair have split up... AGAIN!

We really are considering giving up even trying to follow whether they are together or not anymore.
Apparently, Rihanna was texting Drake on the night of the Grammys when Chris Brown caught her and went all kinds of crazy.

A source told The Sun: "Chris and Rihanna had a big bust-up at the Grammys over Drake. She was messaging him and Chris saw and it didn't go down well."
"Since that night they have barely spoken and have been doing their own things. For now they have split up but they will probably make up at some point."
It's true, for every Rihanna and Chris Brown break up story there most be a make up story a couple of days later.
However, there is also a whole load more to this story as Chris and Drake already have their own problems minus a Rihanna being chucked into the mix.
The pair are currently embroiled in a bit of a legal battle after they had a fight in a club last year and each say the other started it (mature).
Drake was also reportedly refused entry to a club last week after Chris was already inside as bouncers wanted to avoid a similar incident.

31 More Days, and No, I Didn't Fall off the Face of the Earth!
View MOUNTAINS2CLIMB's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MOUNTAINS2CLIMB
Thursday, June 20, 2013
Okay, so it FEELS like I fell off the face of the earth, but I promise I didn't. Almost maybe, but I'm still here.
Still dealing with computer issues, but hopefully in a few months I will be able to get a new one and put the glitches behind me.
I have missed everyone around here so much!! Being here on Spark and feeling connected to others with similar goals is motivating and inspirational and I need that. I miss it!!
So -- My experiment to live with greater joy and take care of me is still going. I have 31 days left until we leave for vacation. I'm ready to go. NOW. The last few weeks have been difficult at best. I'm really struggling. No, I haven't fallen into a pit of despair, and no, I haven't stopped looking for the joy that surrounds me, but my eating has been iffy -- I'd say making poor choices over good ones half the time. Slid back into old habits such as skipping breakfast and not getting enough sleep. The last couple weeks have been a haze of doctor's and counseling appointments for my daughter and while I have not given in to the stress and worry that could easily creep back in, I do what I always do -- stop taking care of myself. I'm exhausted.
So, this is where I am right now. My weight is still the same, haven't gained, which I'm rather proud of. Exercise was going GREAT now it's nonexistent. Water was going GREAT now it's almost nonexistent. Headaches have once again become part of my daily life. I've pondered the greater question of why I let this happen more than I'd care to admit. Still, I have yet to find my way around the wall I put around myself that prevents me from moving forward with my health. I will get there. I am not taking no for an answer.
Alright, now I've come clean with where I am and I know I have a lot of work to do. I'm willing to do that work. I've given a lot of consideration to the word "deserve" as it relates to my health. No, I don't like when people have an attitude of "deserving" things that they have not worked for, but in life, we all "deserve" to be the best we can be. We deserve health. We deserve to give ourselves that gift. I'd set some rewards a while back and one was that I was going to get a hew hairstyle when I'd lost ten pounds and so on. I asked myself why I didn't "deserve" that new hairstyle now. I've been growing out my hair for over a year and hadn't had anything done with it. I was wearing it up most of the time because it lacked any shape at all and was soooo heavy. I wondered why I needed to lose weight before I could have any style or feel feminine. So, yesterday I went and got that haircut. It feels so much better! I will have to come up with some new rewards! Rewards that don't reinforce the idea that I do not "deserve" to take care of myself or feel good about myself until I lose a certain number of pounds.
I'm still here, still trudging along and I will try to check in more often as the computer allows -- I need to catch up on what all my Sparkfriends have been up to while I was gone!!
Hope you all have a great day, I'd better run or I'll be late for work!!

Globe Telecom seen maintaining revenue growth
popular .
Globe Telecom Inc., the country's second-biggest telecommunications provider, said it expects to maintain revenue growth through the second half of the year, chief financial officer Alberto de Larrazabal said.
The company announced early this week that total revenues in the first half increased by 9 percent to P44.5 billion on the back of gains from its mobile, broadband and fixed-line data business.
"Everything we are seeing points to the ability to continue to grow," Larrazabal told reporters in a recent interview. "I think the general momentum is still there."
Mobile revenues hit P35.8 billion, up 8 percent, as subscribers increased. However, profits were weighed down by accelerated depreciation charges because of its massive modernization program.
Net income during the six-month period fell 72 percent to P1.4 billion.
Removing non-recurring items, including foreign exchange and mark-to-market gains and losses, core net income rose 13 percent to P6.4 billion, Globe said.
The company's total subscriber base reached 36.1 million at the end of the first half of the year, 14-percent higher than the same period last year, the telecommunications firm added.
Larrazabal said that additional fundraising to support its 2013 spending requirements was no longer needed.
Globe initially planned to borrow $316 million this year, he said. However, the Bayan Telecommunications deal and additional refinancing and other operating requirements brought total 2013 fundraising to end closer to $400 million.

ABS-CBN to issue 1B voting, low-yield preferred shares
Sale to be restricted to Filipino shareholders
The country's biggest media conglomerate, ABS-CBN Corp., is selling one billion low-yield, voting preferred shares to raise as much as P200 million from existing shareholders.
The shares to be issued, which would not be listed on any public exchange, will be offered only to Filipino stockholders to comply with the Constitution's restriction on foreign ownership in media.
The shares will have a fixed cumulative interest rate of 2 percent a year, payable on each anniversary of the issue date. Shareholders as of Dec. 26 will be eligible to buy the new preferred stocks from Jan. 7 to 25, 2013.
"The preferred shares, being voting, cannot be owned by non-Filipinos," ABS-CBN said in a disclosure. "Any shares not subscribed during the offering shall be taken up by Lopez Inc."
Melissa Ortiz, head of ABS-CBN's investor relations group, said the issuance of preferred voting shares would give the company flexibility to raise funds. The company declined to give further details.
Earlier this week, ABS-CBN announced that Eugenio Lopez III would step down as the company's CEO and would be replaced by current president Ma. Rosario "Charo" Santos-Concio.
Lopez, whose family owns ABS-CBN, would stay on as the media company's chairman.
Last November, ABS-CBN reported a net income of P1.56 billion for the first nine months of 2012, down 31 percent compared with P2.24 billion in the same period last year.
Removing the effects of the gain from the sale of Sky Cable PDRs recognized in the first nine months of 2011 amounting to P825 million, ABS-CBN's net income increased by 10 percent. The growth in recurring income was fueled by strong advertising revenues and consumer sales in the third quarter.
ABS-CBN shares closed lower by 3.15 percent on Wednesday to P32.

By Rob Smith: If WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (45-0-1, 31 KOs) is smart, hell try and come into his June 16th title defense against challenger Andy Lee (28-1, 20 KOs) as light as he was when he defeated John Duddy in 2010. Chavez Jr. was light and quick on his feet in that fight. Granted, Chavez Jr. got rocked in the 6th round and was hit quite a bit, but he still was a whole lot better than hes looked in the fights since then.
Chavez Jrs weight has sky-rocketed to where he now routinely comes into his fights weighing 180 pounds after he rehydrated after weighing in at 160. Chavez Jrs fans mostly approve of him coming in heavy, because they see it as an advantage for Chavez Jr. Some fans see this as Chavezs main advantage, noting that he doesnt have huge power or really fast hand speed.
However, if you look at how much punishment Chavez Jr. suffered in his fights against Sebastian Zbik, Billy Lyell and Marco Antonio Rubio, then youd hope that Chavez Jr. would do the smart thing by working on his diet to get down to a lighter weight for his fights or move up in weight to light heavyweight or cruiserweight so he could have more room to eat.
Lee hits harder and is a lot faster than the guys that Chavez Jr. has fought previously. The biggest shots that Chavez Jr. has been hit with in his career will be nothing compared to the big shots that Lee is landing against him in every round of the fight. It wont be just an occasional big shot that Chavez Jr. will have to eat from Lee. Hell be getting hit with Lee all night, and its going to be a real test of Chavez Jrs chin whether he can continually absorb those kinds of big shots without hitting the deck and getting knocked out.
If Chavez Jr. comes into the fight a big heavy, sloppy middleweight then hell be basically giving the fight way on June 16th. Chavez Jr. cant take big shots on a frequent basis in this fight because something will eventually give and I doubt itll be from Lees end. He can punch all night if he has to. Hell be giving it to Chavez Jr. and moving around to avoid his return fire.

Sometimes you just know. It takes two or three tunes to verify it, but as the well-written originals continue, one can distinguish quality song writing. Faith Gibson, a new name to me, contributes a few tunes here and turns other selections over to very hip wordsmith Christopher Morse. His melodies, along with those of others here, are fresh and invigorating. And Ms. Gibson interprets these tunes in an ultra-cool but totally unpretentious manner that she's seemingly perfect for the task. Gibson chooses a small jazz group, all unknown names to me, to provide ideal, understated backup...

Nice sketches, they remind me of Mobius' style a bit. In the second image I would re-examine the hand and the way it's holding on to the sickle, and the angle of the sickle.
Nice work
March 24th, 2008 #3
your lines are PLACED very well, but I'm not feeling any life in these drawings. They feel too.... clinical. I'm pretty sure this is because there's only one weight of line. If you were to go back to these and thicken up some of the lines that are coming towards us then I think these would read much better.

These are great. They remind me of the goblins from the 1977 "the Hobbit" cartoon.
I'll second Binoched's comments about the hands. In both pieces they seem small to me. I would also like to see more anatomical structure in them as well (exaggerated knuckles and meta carpal bones, fleshy stretching and overlaps) since there is a good bit of that everywhere else in the figures.
Good stuff, Thx for sharing.
...my humble and uneducated opinion.
March 25th, 2008 #5
wow guys, you sure a quick. I'm definately seeing all your points.
binoched, your right the hand isn't properly grabbing the sickle. I was more or less making stuff up as I was drawing. just half way through I thought of cutting the character in half with some kind of large tool to match the other one and I tried fitting something in that wrapped round his hip. yeah it shows.. ;P
Lake, see what you mean but I don't think I'm gonna go back at all the lines to get the movement right. I used a gel point pen which didn't give much variety in linethickness. But I'll keep that in mind and thanks for taking the time.
Mute, thanks for the pointers. hands've always been a pain to me. guess I gotta do more studies. or start with a rough sketch. I really appreciate your input.

Former Heat coach says Jason Kidd's spill was nothing new
DEC 02, 2013 3:08p ET
Kevin Loughery told the New York Daily News he used the tactic several times during his 20-year coaching career, including in his third season with the Miami Heat in 1993-94.
"There are different ways you can do it," Loughery told the Daily News from his Virginia home. "You can have the players spill it. You can have one of the ball boys do it.
"They can't fine the ball boys, I don't think."
Kidd was fined $50,000 after apparently telling Nets reserve Tyshawn Taylor to "hit me" with 8.3 seconds left Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, causing the coach to spill his drink.
The Nets had time to strategize while the floor was cleaned, but they still lost 99-94.
Loughery, 73, said he used the trick several times during his coaching career in the NBA and ABA. He added the last time he used it, thanks to a ball boy, was during the 1994 playoffs.
" 'Just pour some water on the floor,' " Loughery said he would tell the ball boy. "He really had no idea what I was talking about until he sees the results."
The former Sixers/Nets/ Hawks/ Bulls/Bullets/Heat coach said he was surprised at the amount Kidd was fined by the NBA.
"I know guys are making way more money now, but that's an outrageous fine for that," Loughery told the Daily News. "I guess the league doesn't want any more of it. ... I can't believe they would fine a guy $50,000 for that."

Should I be an Airhead owner?
Here's my situation: I have a '91 GSPD with 76000 kms on it that works just fine. Looks great too. I've only had it for a year and a half and have no service records, though I was told by the seller that he brought it in from Germany and it was a one owner bike owned by an older fellow who sold it due to failing health. I believe this to be true.
I enjoy this old bike for putting around the back roads on and can do the basic maintenance on it: fluid changes, adjusting valves, that sort of thing. I'm pretty mechanically "sympathetic" and keep all the small things in order but don't have the experience or knowhow to tackle anything major.
Here's the issue in my mind. These bikes have a whole lot of potental issues: drive shafts, rear main seals, transmission problems [usually at around 80000 kms from what I read], missing circlips, unreliable charging systems, front brakes that could use upgrading, and I'm sure more that I'm leaving out.
All of these issues are expensive to repair and could easily be in the thousands of dollars. That doesn't add up right to me, there are just too many good, reliable, cheap to run bikes out there, though admittedly the old GSPD has a style and a look that makes it special [but at what price?].
So what to do? Ignore all the potential trouble and keep riding what is a great working bike that I love or just part ways with it before something bad happens? BTW, I've had 20+ bikes over the years, including 10+ BMW's and I've never had any issues that I would consider major.
If you like it just ride the thing. If it ain't broke...
I'd say no! Generally airhead folks don't worry, just maintain, ride and fix when broke.
Sell it and buy a 1200GS they take reliability to a whole new level :evil
Just ride it. The issues you list are potential problems. The front brake can be upgraded cheaply if you're prepared to spend a little time with a hacksaw and a piece of Dural - mine cost £35 to upgrade to a Tokico 4 pot.
It's only you Yanks that seem to worry about the circlips on the outputs shaft. The rest of the world is generally oblivious to this problem and seem to be able to rack up huge mileages with out any disasters occouring.
If anything else breaks put a new part in and worry about it again in another 20 years.
No....give me the PD and I'll take care of it.:D
Man, if you think all of us in oldschool had never thought about ditching old for new, you're crazy.:loco Heres the deal...our bikes have soul. There I said it! Cats out of the bag!!!
Seriously, they are very reliable for their age and fairly cheap and easy to maintain. If you have a problem on the side of the road, you will more than likely be able to repair and move on with simple tools and just a few spares..:D Unlike a newer bike with complicated ignition/braking systems that does what the computer tells it to do. My airhead is way more interesting to onlookers than a newer bike. I'm certain I talk and meet way more people because of my bike. You have my dream bike from my college days, and thats pretty neat. Keep it, maintain it, fix it, and ride it. Take it on a big dirt road/camp trip, or just for the weekend, you're mind may be made up. Good luck.
My 91 r100GS has had it's share of problems, but none of the transmission/driveshaft things have given trouble. The real problem is fretting about those items when you go on a long trip.
My solution was to send the tranny out to get the circlip installed and higher fith and lower first. Best thing ever for this bike! While it was down I threw in a rebuilt driveshaft and dual plugged the heads. Now it runs better and I don't worry (as much.)
Worth the money?:lol3:lol3:lol3 Not ever, but where are you going to find a bike quite like an airhead GS?
my advice is ride it till it breaks, you may have no troubles.
I agree with Hardwaregirl, give it up. If it has no appeal to you then go buy the one you want. Anything can be a potential problem, new or old. As I age and my body has new pains. I find a way to maintain it by keeping active and paying attention to it.
If you don't understand why some people choose to ride old bikes, then you need to quit pretending and get it to someone who needs it. Not many see the value of the sweat equity put into something, forget the money, its the sense of pride in being able to ride something vintage along with the newest and the best out there. Its a beautiful thing.
Now I love fuel injection, I like the anti-lock brakes. I love the advances in tire rubber and design. But I love even more being able to synch my carbs by ear and know every detail about my old machines. Its love, true love. Not just the, look at what I have, its a relationship. Peace.
An R100GS left me stranded in OZ back in the early 90's. Drive shaft. I fixed it, brought it home, and sold it as fast as I could. Back then, I didn't know much and it was all about ride, ride, ride.
Post that, five R80G/S. Some bought laughably cheap, all good.
Today, there are loads of "fixes" for the R100GS. Given what is available now, I might consider it, though Das Beast works just fine. Barks like a GS, goes like hot stink, and hauls all the stuff necessary.
All things being equal, I would ride it until it breaks, repair it, and keep riding it. It sure is cheaper than buying a new bike, and you aren't going to find anything remotely like it in the market today.
When there was a lot more than lint in my pocketrs, I would get newbikitis fairly regularly- new meaning a different classic / vintage bike. (I came closet o getting a new Bonneville- until I test rode one) If THAT'S the case, just sell and try something different. What the heck?
OTOH, I think hypochondria is transferreable to inanimate objects. I suspect it's possible to worry something to death. It can be as bad as totally ignoring something- only more painful.
Every brand and model of bike has "potential" problem areas. So what? They are mechanical beasts and will fail when they fail. Same goes for everything else in life.
Over all, the average Airhead, if given appropriate maintenance and attention, will last you many many miles. Don't worry about things that might break, as worry will cause parts of your own body to fail, usually with little notice. Get on the bike and ride it. Do the proper maintenance that needs to be done to any 20-30 year old bike and carry on. When something breaks, fix it and get back on the bike and ride.
On the other hand, if you are a born worrier, sell the bike and do not buy another one. No bike is 100% maintenance free and no bike will last forever. Those that go looking for problems with their bikes, usually create problems where there never was one. i.e. poke at a scab long enough and it will become infected.
Rob Rarmer, I have a 1200GS in my garage, my second one, and they have been great, trouble free bikes. BTW, I'm not a Yank and I've had the same thought about the circlip as you; it's lasted 20 years and 76,000 kms so is it really an issue?
I have the GSPD, not because it's all I can afford and need to be able to depend on it, but because I love the the look, feel, simplicity, uniqueness, etc, etc: same as the rest of you guys. I do get a lot of pleasure out of owning and riding it and enjoy just looking at it.
I don't want to spend a fortune on it though. I guess I'm like the guy who was half Irish and half Scottish; he wants a drink of whiskey but he's: too cheap to buy it.:lol3
I'm sure I'll keep mine forever....if nothing else just to look at. It is in what most people would call "new" condition and is 100% stock.
For a few years it was my "main bike" & I rode it quite often.
I did have a tranny problem & charging problem during that time.
Personally I feel it is a Sunday afternoon icecream chaser or an oddball to ride to bikenight.
Perhaps when I get older the low height will make it my bike of choice, all my newer stuff is a little on the tall side and gets harder & harded to get on as I age.
I have said it over & over again much to the disgust of the airhead crowd, but and F650 Dakar is a much better motorcycle in about 99% of the situations you will ever find yourself in.
If you can get past the brand hang up I feel even the KLR650 is a pretty good match for the R100GS. (this answer brought to you by a guy with several BMWs in the garage right now.)
Drive shaft: Yup, They're expensive and don't last as long as they should.
Never had a rear main seal problem in over 300,000 airhead miles.
Circlip: Just ride it.
Transmission: use synthetic gear lube and maybe double the rebuild interval.
Charging system unreliable? I don't think so. Barely adequate yes, but pretty solid. The main reason you hear of failing charging system is because Airheads get so many more miles than most other bikes (IMO).
I don't get the front brake thing. I have a '95 GSPD, and the front brake is capable of making the front tire howl from a high speed down to dead stopped. What more do you need?
You forgot the Speedometer.
Also that airheads are the only bike I know of that require precision measuring equipment to do an oil change.

Wine spritzer gets 'Shark Tank' investment
Bon Affair founder Jayla Siciliano of Solana Beach wants her customers to have it all: Alcohol on Thursday night, and waking up feeling refreshed Friday morning.
She believes her wine spritzers infused with electrolytes are the secret elixir to that ability to socialize longer and still feel great the next day, and at least one shark does, too. Shark investor Mark Cuban, that is, who has also invested in San Diego-based Tower Paddle Boards.
Siciliano presented her $15 bottles of all-natural sauvignon blanc and syrah spritzers on ABC's high-pressure pitch show "Shark Tank" in an episode that aired Friday, and left with exactly what she wanted: a $150,000 investment, which Cuban gave in exchange for a 35 percent stake in her company.
Other sharks including wine connoisseur Kevin O'Leary thought her business, which floundered in early months because of problems with a bottler, was too risky.
O'Leary said Bon Affair's $11,000 in sales for a six-week period is a long way from the $10 million in sales the company would need for a potential acquisition by one of the bigger alcohol companies. Even though he wasn't interested in investing, he suggested Siciliano sell to Costco, one of the world's largest purchasers of wine.
"You're in a difficult situation because you've taken down a lot of investor dollars to try and build a whole new category in the wine business, but I think you've got a tough road ahead," he told her. "I never give advice, but I know this space very well. Go do that, and good luck."
As with most entrepreneurs who appear on the show, it wasn't the first time Siciliano had shared her idea with potential investors. She raised about $500,000 in 2012 to start production, but lost 90 percent of her first run because of leaky bottle caps.
After raising another $200,000, she began selling the spritzers at retail in August 2013, and now is in about a dozen Whole Foods Markets from Los Angeles to San Diego, along with several Albertsons and a few smaller stores.
With a growing body of research that shows alcohol in moderation can be good for us, Siciliano's healthy wine drink is just different enough to attract investments from people like Cuban and former Wendy's CEO Kerrii Anderson.
Siciliano came up with the idea several years ago when managing products for the Diesel clothing company and then for Burton Snowboards in Burlington, Vt.
"I've always been really into health and fitness, but at the same time I love having fun and love to drink wine," she said.
But she struggled with the fact that every work event seemed to center on alcohol.
"I just reached a certain age where I couldn't still go out drinking and wake up and go do yoga at 6:30 a.m.," she said.
That's when she started pouring soda water in her wine. She could sip it all night and still feel good the next morning. The idea caught on not only among her female colleagues, but the men, too.

De Lima refuses to meet new lawyer of Janet Napoles
More News from Christine O. Avendaño, Nancy C. Carvajal
She may be counsel to celebrities, but Justice Secretary Leila de Lima will have nothing to do with her while her client, Janet Lim-Napoles, is facing an investigation of allegations the head of the JLN Corp. diverted P10 billion in pork barrel funds meant for poor farmers into ghost projects.
De Lima told reporters on Wednesday that it would be improper for her to meet Lorna Kapunan, the newly hired lawyer of Napoles, at this point.
Kapunan reportedly sought a meeting with the justice secretary to play to her a tape recording of an alleged attempt by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation to extort money from Napoles, who has been accused by at least six of her former employees of defrauding the government of billions of pesos in state funds over the past 10 years.
"I don't think it would be proper for me at this point to sit down and talk to them. They're the subjects of an ongoing investigation," she said, adding that this might become an "issue."
"Now if what they are telling is true, they have proper courses of action and I hope they are not doing this to destroy the NBI so that the NBI would be discouraged, harassed and be intimidated," De Lima said. She said the NBI would not be cowed by Napoles.
"My instruction to them is to do their job, just continue with the ongoing investigations," she said.
Taken out of context
Contacted by the Inquirer, Kapunan said that the report on her attempt to see De Lima was "taken out of context." She added that she simply wanted "to express our cooperation with the NBI investigation."
Kapunan said Napoles wanted to submit evidence "but not to the same NBI team, that we have evidence of trying to extort money from our client."
She also said her client wanted to know the composition of the NBI team conducting the investigation. She said the Napoles camp would call a news conference to discuss the alleged extortion attempt.
The Kapunan law firm is the fourth set of lawyers Napoles has hired to represent her in her current cases involving the pork barrel funds. Her previous lawyers included the Palace-connected MOST law office formed by Lisa Marcos, the wife of Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Edward Serapio and Joseph Tan. Ochoa withdrew from the firm after he joined the Aquino administration.
NBI Director Nonnatus Rojas told the Inquirer he had ordered the agency's special task force division to complete the investigation on the P10-billion racket as soon as possible.
Thorough probe ordered
"We want you to focus on an exhaustive and thorough investigation," Rojas said of his instructions to his men. "Other issues will be addressed separately."
Rojas declined to comment on the allegations of extortion against NBI operatives. "We will address the issue when it's there," he said.
Rojas said the NBI was also waiting for the resolution of its motion for reconsideration in the Department of Justice on its decision to scratch out kidnapping charges against Napoles and her brother Reynald Lim.
The two were accused of abducting and detaining Benhur Luy for three months after Napoles allegedly discovered that Luy wanted to start his own racket.
Napoles has denied any wrongdoing. She has accused Luy of taking out an unauthorized loan of P5 million and running away with P300,000 he was instructed to deposit.
