- Irritated Review by Tiff
Price Value Quality
Had the Challenger crossbow only a few days. Went out to sight the bow in and shot it a few times. Went to cock it to shoot more, and heard a cracking noise. looked down and the limb had cracked. I was so excited when I got this bow, because its light, easy to shoot, and i can actually pull it back. Now after reading 2 other reviews that their limbs cracked as well I'm irritated. Going to call Parker tomorrow and see what they can do.

Comment Of Senator Patrick Leahy On President Barack Obama's Announcement On Immigration Reform
January 29, 2013
[TUESDAY, January 29, 2013-- U. S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) issued the following comment Tuesday after President Barack Obama announced his proposals for comprehensive immigration reform. The Judiciary Committee is the primary committee of jurisdiction for immigration reform, and Chairman Leahy announced Tuesday that the Committee will hold its first hearing on immigration reform in two weeks, on Feb. 13.]
"President Obama should be commended for making Comprehensive Immigration Reform a top priority. His recommendations for how to tackle one of our Nation's most pressing problems are thoughtful, realistic, and inclusive. I am particularly pleased to see that the President's proposal includes better access to visas for victims of domestic and sexual violence, improved laws for refugees and asylum seekers, an enhanced investor visa program, and the assurance that every family, including binational gay and lesbian spouses, receives equal treatment under the law. The President's courageous words today, the leadership of Senator Reid, as well as the recent work of a bipartisan group of Senators are encouraging. I look forward to seeing principles turned into legislation. True reform must address all these issues and others, such as those facing our Nation's dairy and agriculture industries.
"I plan to hold a hearing on Comprehensive Immigration Reform the day after the President's State of the Union address to the American people and the Congress, and to have the Senate Judiciary Committee consider Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation this spring."

Wild waive defenseman Tom Gilbert
Updated: July 3, 2013, 3:15 PM ETAssociated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild have waived defenseman Tom Gilbert.
The team announced the move Wednesday. The 30-year-old Gilbert had one season left on his contract for $3 million.
If he goes unclaimed by another team, the Wild will use one of their two available compliance buyouts to keep Gilbert's money from counting against their salary cap. He would then become an unrestricted free agent Friday, eligible to sign with any team except the Wild.

Major Expanse of Russian-language Materials in the
Niels Bohr Library
In keeping with the international nature of science, the Niels Bohr Library aspires to have a comprehensive collection for modern physics and allied fields in all the major scientific languages. Over the last couple of years the library has had special success in building up its collection of Russian-language publications. A main impetus has been the Russian background of our postdoctoral historian for the past three years, Alexei Kojevnikov (who leaves us this fall for a professorship at the University of Georgia). Dr. Kojevnikov bought many books for us during trips to Moscouw, and has been a great help in selecting and cataloging others. Particularly important was a generous gift from Valerie Sukhina in Toronoto, over 140 volumes from the private library of her father, the late Yuri Sukhin.
Sukhin's books are mostly physics monographs and textbooks printed between 1955 and 1985, a period in which a vigorous Soviet publishing program provided a foundation for high standard of physics education and research. Among the authors are Bogoliubov, Landau, Tamm, Abrikosov, Leontovich, Ginzburg, Veksler, Letokhov, Akhiezer, and others. The collection also included many books on computers and information processing, which we have donated to our sister center, the Charles Babbage Institute for the History of Information Processing in Minneapolis.
Other newly acquired physics books include the latest edition of Fizicheskaia Entsiklopedia (1988-1998) and classic editions and collected works of Lomonosov, Lobachevsky, Lenz, Tsiolkovsky, Vernadsky, Kurchatov, Vavilov, Pomeranchuk, I.M. Lifshits, Zel'dovich and Pontecorvo. The Library also bought or was given individual monographs by Stoletov, Frenkel, Andronov, Blokhintsev and other famous scientists.
Newly acquired Russian publications in the history of science include the seminal two-volume collection of recently declassified documents on the history of the Soviet atomic project (a gift from Igor Drovenikov of the Institute for History of Science and Technology in Moscow), M.I. Kaganov's book of recollections about Landau and his school (gift of the author), a biography of N.N. Bogoliubov (gift of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna) and several dozen other titles. The Niels Bohr Library subscribes to the main Russian journal on the history and philosophy of science, Voprosy Istorii Estestvoznaniia i Tekhniki, and has assembled relatively complete sets of the yearbooks on the history of astronomy and on the history of physics and mechanics published by the Institute for History of Science and Technology. We are also lucky to have rare copies of the collection of physics folklore, Fiziki prodolzhaiut shutit', (1968) and of the history of the physicists' amateur opera troupe, Arkhimed, written by one of its founders, V.V.Kaner.
Besides published sources, the library has received from the Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences copies of finding aids to several collections which have recently been cataloged, partially supported by grants from the Center for History of Physics (personal collections of physicists A.P. Aleksandrov, A.I. Berg, A.N. Frumkin, I.V. Obreimov, A.I. Shal'nikov, V.V. Shuleikin and S.A. Vekshinskii).
This drawing in a book among those recently donated to the Niels Bohr Library tells the story of "Archimedes' Birthday," an annual tradition at the Physics Department of Moscow State University. The practice started in 1960 when students at a Komsomol conference resolved to establish May 7th as the birthday of the great ancient physicist, and it continues today despite a temporary period of underground existence in the late Soviet years due to conflicts with the administration. The tradition included a popular show on the stairs in front of the Department and an evening performance of an amateur opera on physics themes. The book includes the libretto and scores of the most famous of these operas, also called "Archimedes," which tells the story of a young ancient physicist choosing his calling despite the temptations of other available career paths symbolized, correspondingly, by Venus, Mars, Bacchus, and Apollo.

Jesse's Wife by Kristin James
When a late-night walk on her father's ranch inadvertently destroys her reputation, Amy McCallister finds herself married off to Jesse, a sinfully handsome farmhand. But can he convince her to give him her heart, despite their rocky beginning?
Seduced by Starlight by Charlotte Featherstone
Jase Markham, London's most dashing—and notorious—rake, has loved his brother's fiancée for as long as he can remember. When his brother casts Blossom aside, Jase is determined to finally make her his—if she's willing to overlook his scandalous reputation!
Spring 1885
After two weeks of dizzying social activity in London, a visit to the English countryside was an enchanting change of pace. Nature had cooperated by blessing the garden party with flawless weather. Puffs of white cloud drifted through a deep blue sky, the grass and trees were impossibly green, and the famous Swindon gardens were in glorious flower.
Yet the grounds were not half so splendid as the guests, who were the cream of British society. All of the men were aristocratically handsome and all of the women graceful and exquisitely dressed. At least, that was how it seemed to Miss Sarah Katherine Vangelder, of the New York Vangelders. As she surveyed her surroundings, she gave a laugh of pure delight.
The woman beside her said, "Don't look so rapturous, Sunny. It simply isn't done."
Sunny gave her godmother a teasing glance. "Is this the Katie Schmidt of San Francisco who scandalized English society by performing Comanche riding stunts in Hyde Park?"
A smile tugged at the older woman's lips. "It most certainly is not," she said in a voice that no longer held any trace of American accent. "I am now Katherine Schmidt Worthington, Countess of Westron, a very proper chaperon for her exceedingly well-brought-up young American goddaughter."
"I thought that we American girls were admired for our freshness and directness." A hint of dryness entered Sunny's voice. "And our fortunes, of course."
"The very best matches require impeccable manners as well as money, my dear. If you wish to become a duchess, you must be above reproach."
Sunny sighed. "And if I don't wish to become a duchess?"
"Your mother has spent twenty years grooming you to be worthy of the highest station," Lady Westron replied. "It would be a pity to waste that."
"Yes, Aunt Katie," Sunny said meekly. "If I'm very, very impeccable, may I view the rest of the gardens later?"
"Yes, but not until you've met everyone worth meeting. Business before pleasure, my dear." Katie began guiding her charge through the crowd, stopping and making occasional introductions.
Knowing that she was being judged, Sunny smiled and talked with the utmost propriety. She even managed not to look too excited, until she was introduced to the Honorable Paul Curzon.
Tall, blond and stunningly handsome, Curzon was enough to make any woman gape. After bowing over her hand, he said, "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Vangelder. Are you newly arrived in England?" His question was accompanied by a dazzling smile.
If it hadn't been for her rigorous social training, Sunny would have gaped at him like a raw country girl. Instead, she managed to say lightly, "I've been in London for the last fortnight. Before that, we were traveling on the Continent."
"If you'd like to visit the Houses of Parliament, Miss Vangelder, I'd be delighted to escort you. I'm a member." Curzon gave a deprecatory shrug. "Only a backbencher, but I can show you what goes on behind the scenes and treat you to tea on the terrace. You might find it amusing."
"Perhaps later in the season Miss Vangelder will have time," Katie said as she deftly removed her charge.
When they were out of earshot, Sunny said with awe, "Mr. Curzon is the handsomest man I've ever seen."
"Yes, but he's a younger son with three older brothers, so he's unlikely ever to inherit the title." Lady Westron gave a warning look. "Not at all the sort your mother wants for you."
"But as a Member of Parliament, he actually does something useful," Sunny pointed out. "My grandfather would have approved of that."
"Admiral Vangelder would not have wanted a penniless younger son for his favorite granddaughter," Katie said firmly. "Come, I want you to meet Lord Traymore. An Irish title, unfortunately, but an earl is an earl, and he's charming. You could do worse."
Dutifully Sunny followed her godmother to the next knot of guests, though she promised herself that she would slip off and view the famous water garden before she left. Until then, she would enjoy the color and laughter of the occasion.
She was also guiltily glad to be free of her mother's rather overpowering presence for a day. Augusta Vangelder was the most devoted and solicitous of parents, but she had very firm ideas about the way things ought to be. Very firm. Unfortunately, she was laid up in their suite at Claridge's with a mild case of the grippe, so Sunny had the benefit of the more liberal chaperonage of her godmother. Not only did Lady Westron know everyone, but she made racy comments about them. Sunny felt very worldly.

A railroad heiress betrothed to the Gargoyle, a rancher's daughter chooses marriage over scandal, and a rake is given a second chance to win the woman he's loved since childhood.
Romance at its best and passion that pulls you into its depths. Prepare to be swept away on a tide of breath taking first love, heart ache, betrayal, sweet romance, courtship and passion. The talented minds of Mary Jo Putney, Kristin James and Charlotte Featherstone have graced us with a terrific anthology of stories that begin in Regency England, then across the plains of Texas, and finally back to England's countryside for a triad of stories sure to win your heart and capture your soul.
From Mary Jo Putney we are treated to a story that spans an ocean and back. In The Wedding of the Century, American railroad heiress Sarah "Sunny" Vangelder has been raised to be the perfect wife and hostess. Now all she needed was to find the perfect man to be her husband. Society (and her mother) tells Sunny that a dutiful wife does not display passion towards her husband otherwise he will not respect and treat her as a lady. But what is a lady to do when she realizes that she truly loves the man she agrees to marry? Through Mary Jo Putney's incredible writing reader's will run the gambit of emotions Sunny feels right along with her. Her attraction to a handsome and charismatic man that turns out to be a toad is soon replaced with surprising admiration and blossoming love for the quite and considerate man society misnames The Gargoyle.
Kristin James penned a beautiful love story that might never have been. In Jesse's Wife, Amy McAlister is the daughter of a prosperous rancher and Jesse Tyler is the young ranch hand who saves her from being forced to marry a man after her father's money. Jesse is so obviously in love with Amy but she is convinced he's only trying to repay her family for a debt he doesn't owe. Amy is very booksmart and when she finally realizes Jesse's true feelings she puts what she knows to good use in seducing her husband. This was a really sweet and heart warming story with just enough detailed heat to have me grabbing for a fan.
The last story is by Charlotte Featherstone. Seduced by Starlight was my first taste of Ms. Featherstone's writing but it won't be the last. Her characters and the plot had me from the first page and didn't let go until the very end. Lady Blossom Torrington is an accomplished young lady of the ton with a talent for painting. When she isn't painting she dreams of making a love match that equals the example set by her parents. She knows what she wants in a husband and isn't willing to settle. Thanks to her very supportive parents she won't ever have to. When her childhood friend and one time crush, Jase Raeburn shows up at a house party her attraction is instant but so is her doubt that he is sincere in his pursuit of her hand. Ms. Featherstone's writing style is so easy to read and the dialogue is fun to follow.
Wedding of the Century and Other Stories has all the elements of a successful anthology. The writing is vivid, the stories are unique and well developed and the characters have you cheering for their HEA. I enjoyed every moment spent with these talented ladies and wonderful stories they've penned. I look forward to seeing what other books they have available. Add this book to your TBR, you won't regret it.

The Wedding of the Century by Mary Jo Putney. In 1885, beautiful and affluent Sarah "Sunny" Vangelder of the New York upper crust has come to London to follow in the footsteps of her godmother who rode like a Comanche in Hyde Park and not wanting to wed just for a title. Justin Aubrey needs income to save his dukedom. First came marriage, and then came love.----------
Jesse's Wife by Kristin James. Amy McCallister knows she is a plain wallflower who cannot compare to her vivacious beautiful younger sister, but dreams of Charles Whitaker courting her. She was walking on her father's ranch with Charles, but Jesse Tyler spots them. Her reputation is ruined when Charles insists he loves her and begins to kiss her over her objection. Jesse rescues her and offers to marry her as he seeks acceptance. First came marriage, and then came love.---------
Seduced by Starlight by Charlotte Featherstone. In 1874 England, rake Jase Markham loves Blossom, who is his brother Samuel's fiancée. They were engaged since they were children. Samuel informs Blossom he loves someone else so she ends their engagement as he races with his love to Gretna Green. Euphoric Jase is in the game for the first time as he plans to court and marry his angelic succubus Blossom. For her first came marriage, and then came love; for him first came love and then came marriage.
These are three wonderful historical romances though Kristin James' feels a bit out of place with the two Victorian English aristocratic tales and also is a reprint of a 1994 tale.----------

I love reading, always have always will.
The first story in this book was ok
Tthe second was very good.it was written by Kristain James. I would like to read more of
her books. She had only two books listed on nook search.
The third book should be -5 STARS, I do not like smut. So, I am
just going give this book a very low rating......
Barnes & Noble can you notify your readers of x-rated,
or ones that have explicit sex in them?
Please do, as I hate wasting my money on them
Posted February 6, 2012
I enjoyed all three stories in this book. They were well written and I could not put it down. In fact, I read it again and again, then I gave it to a friend to read and she loved it too.
I wish there were more books like this one.

10 Innovations That Changed the Way We Exercise
Anabolic Steroids
In the late 19th century, physiologist Charles-Edouard Brown-Sequard discovered he felt "rejuvenated" after injecting himself with testicular extracts from dogs and guinea pigs. Decades later, in 1935, scientists isolated and chemically synthesized testosterone (two of them, Adolf Butenandt and Leopold Ruzicka, won a Nobel for their work). Anabolic steroids, synthetic derivatives of testosterone, were used as performance enhancers among Olympic weightlifters in the 1950s. Although now illegal in professional athletics due to their long-term negative health affects and performance-altering effects, steroids grab the spotlight every sports season with the stars that take them spurring no shortage of controversy along the way.

When people in the retirement industry ask me about my National ERISA practice, one question is whether I do any third party administration (TPA) work? When asked, my line is always that I don't "because I stick to what I know." Unfortunately, payroll providers don't follow that line, as they are some of the largest TPAs of retirement plans. If you're a TPA, you're often butting heads with these payroll providers and it's frustrating because plan sponsors think there is some value in using a payroll provider as a TPA, but you know the truth. So this article is how TPAs can compete against payroll provider TPAs.

The Thames, London
49 Reviews
49 Reviews
Fondest memory:
The Thames Path goes from the Flood barrier all the way to Windsor Castle, it is a great way of seeing bits of London you wouldnt otherwise do.
Favorite thing: There has been a lot of commotion about the Millennium bridge. During our visit there were still reparing the bridge. This picture is taken from the balcony of Tate Modern.
Favorite thing: realise that a city on both sides of a river needs bridges to connect the opposing banks. In the travalogue you see all the London bridges over the river Thames.
Favorite thing: Take a boat trip on the Thames. It's a great way to see the city-- its history and its present day. You'll see many of the famous landmarks from the perspective of the water.

Single-player chess hones your skills
Chess for one ... Solitaire Chess can teach beginners the basics and hone the skills of regular players
Article Summary
There are a number of games that are ideally suited to lone players, such as patience, Tetris and, of course, solitaire. Chess, on the other hand, has always required an opponent, be it human or computer – to be a challenge anyway. But this new Solitaire Chess, which is "almost" chess but not quite, removes the need for an opponent but keeps the rules and moves associated with the traditional board game. The idea of this logic puzzle is to wipe out all the pieces bar one using your problem-solving skills as you would in a game of chess.

"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself."
"Don't waste your time trying to please the world when that's something God himself can't even accomplish."
"Your attitude should not be a reflection of how others treat you, instead it should be a reflection of your own personality."
"There's no such thing as too much gratitude. Because the more of it you express, the more reasons you will be given to express it. Thoughtfulness pays big dividends. Develop an attitude of gratitude."
"People aren't either evil or noble. They're like chef's salads, with fine things and terrible things chopped and mixed as one in vinaigrette of misunderstanding and disagreement"
"It's that kind of attitude when we talk about getting better. How do we get better? We get better in the mind. We have a veteran team, they know how to do it. We stay disciplined with our defense and our principles and we make this kind of covenant with each other that we're going to defend."
"He has a great attitude. He's not intimidated by anything and brings something to the table that you can't coach -- heart."
"He was a hard worker. He'd have kind of this cocky attitude that he was needed here, but he was always real polite, too."

BOISE -- A very important deadline for Idahoans is fast approaching, and if you wait it will cost you.
There were some snarls and kinks in the online health insurance exchange application process at first, but now Your Health Idaho reports everything is smooth sailing.
We are actually happy that we got the state based exchange and we were able to make this happen, said Director of Communications Jody Olson.
KTVB spoke with Olson by phone Sunday, while she was in Idaho Falls helping with another open enrollment sign up event.
Her biggest suggestion as we approach the March 31st deadline is to not wait.
Because sometimes the website needs to process and it may take anywhere between 24 and 72 hours so don t wait until the end, said Olson.
She also wants to remind those shopping for a healthcare plan that they don t have to navigate the process alone.
There is no reason if somebody is confused or afraid to go through this by themselves there is no reason a person in Idaho has to do that, she said.
More events to help folks get signed up will take place again on Saturday, March 22nd in Boise, Nampa and even Coeur d Alene.
The process is going well, according to Olson. That is because the most recent numbers show over 43,000 Idahoans have nailed down a health plan. On top of that, 30,000 are sitting in the queue with an application in the works.
So are those numbers good?
Olson said Your Health Idaho never set a goal but the Congressional Budget Office did for each state. They set a goal of over 40,000 people to sign up for the first open enrollment, and currently Idaho is above that goal.
That goal was reached all while the struggles to get the website up and going took place, in the beginning of the process.
Even though we needed to rely on the federal application when it was not working we were able to respond to the needs of Idahoans we were able to get plans on our website, said Olson. We were able to get an Idaho specific cost calculator we were able to mobilize our agents and brokers and assistors throughout the state to get information out.
Olson said if you don t join the March 31st open enrollment you have to wait until the next open enrollment period deadline which is November 15th.
Waiting will cost you and your family, because the charge $95 per person and $45 per child, or 1% of your household income, whichever is greater. Those numbers will go up every year after.
The next Treasure Valley open enrollment events take place on March 22nd at 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center in Nampa in the Fall Conference Room and in Boise at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center on Curtis Road in the McCleary Auditorium.

Sketchy Sketches. Calming the hand.
I tried doing a ca. forum/thread search on this. Didn't find what I was looking for so, I will ask here.
Ok, so I am attending TAD this fall,,er like in a week. It will be my first go at an art education. That being said, I was thinking I should start acclimating myself to traditional mediums. So to start, I thought, I should buy some art supplies and just use them for a while. Not focused on the fundamentals, just getting used the feel of brushes, charcoal pencils, different paper and surfaces. Did that for a while,,no photoshop.
Then, from reading post here, I kinda got the notion if you don't know where to start, then, start drawing what you see. This is where I am at now,,setting up still life, walking around with sketchbook and, well, drawing what I see. I know there is more to it than that, I just didn't know where to start.
Now, finally, the question. I've noticed when I draw, it's very sketchy. Like I'll draw a line over and over until I get this fuzzy image of my subject but, this sketchy image is fairly proportional, just super sketchy. From there I can break out the eraser and start refining it. It just seems counter productive. In photoshop I would just start with solid blocks of color, kinda making a silhouette and build on that. I'm just wondering if I should emulate that method somehow in my sketchbook. Or do I need to focus a few hours a day to contour drawing? Or, just draw the subject over and over? I know sketches are "sketchy",,mine just seem a little too sketchy when doing a study.
Sorry for the long intro before the question, thought a little background info might help. Also, i'm gonna leave a link to my dA page, in case that helps to see where I am as an artist currently,,
Any help is truly helpful and, I promise I will appreciate it.

Practice. Confidence. Knowing exactly where your line begins, ends, and everything in between.

Just keep practicing it all gets easier every time.
Some helpful practice I can think of is
1. take a huge sheet of paper, put a dot somewhere, now make a dot 2 inches vertically or horizontally, now that you have 2 dots place 2 more dots so that you have a perfectly equal square, Keep making dots in every direction that are 2 inches apart, just keep going with this.
The point is that you will be able to see where your making measuring mistakes in relation to direction and placement. and by practicing this you can make more accurately placed marks.
2. Place a point on a piece of paper place another point somewhere else on the paper, now try drawing one nice smooth curved line the hits one point and then the other. Pay attention to where your about to go with your line and make the line with confidence, don't sketch the line, again make it smooth and with confidence ..
Those are the only things I can really think of right now that might help, and Ill be right there in the trenches with you at TAD this fall, best of luck.

I get what you two are saying. Its a confidence game with lines. Like shooting baskets. It's about form, trajectory and, accuracy.

Have you tried inking your sketches with real, liquid ink and a brush?
That generally forces you to decide the line you want to make, as you have very limited amount of extra strokes you can put there.

Tinybird, thanks, that sounds like another good exercise. You're right, ink doesn't seem very forgiving.
When I sketch, I feel as if I'm working with clay, like I'm molding the image and, clay is very forgiving. It just seems counter-productive making so many lines.--sidenote I also wonder If I need to get my eyes checked..
August 20th, 2012 #7
Funny I'm trying to solve the same problem kind of, my sketchy lines look kind of out of place but my more refined lines don't look as smooth.
So I am trying the dot to dot straight line and curves but also re tracing over it 8x.
Also trying to the hold the pen/pencil higher up and use my elbow and shoulder and less off my wrist, seems a little awkward but I am getting a little better each time.
I've seen people use copic markers , say like a 30% as a silhouette then going over it with pen.
But I also kind of like the real sketchy look in itself, can be used as the silhouette if you go kinda crazy with a purpose and the paint over the top/ or scan in etc.

This is very normal when one is starting out. I think I had very feathered lines for a number of years and I still use several lines when I'm sketching even though I have trained myself to be steady with ink pens or a brush.
You can try to go over your sketch with ink afterwards, making an effort to use only one line per edge even if you get the line wrong. Or you can do the same thing with pencils of different colours like animators do. You can also try doing blocks of value using charcoal, like you suggested with the "blocks of colour" in Photoshop. Eventually you will be more confident in your lines and you will feather them less.

Get an easel and an 18x24 pad and drawing board. Set it up vertically so you can stand and draw from the shoulder. You can't make little fuzzy strokes drawing from the shoulder.

Thanks again you all. I should mention, if I'm drawing from imagination, or have a table to rest my elbow as a pivot,, my lines are smooth. It's mostly when I am standing or sitting at a stool that I start making multiply lines, not so much "feathered", which I know what you all mean by that.
Anyway, the advice and the video link posted earlier makes sense to me. It's about confidence.
I'm going to try these exercises folks. Again, thanks for the ideas.

Slow down. You are training your muscle memory, which works best when making slow deliberate movements, and that is really as slow as you can. There is a difference between practice and performance. While you may draw a circle best with a fast whirl, improving really needs you to slow down...

What about tracing paper? Printing out a page of different shapes in different perspectives and tracing them, slowly. Just as an exercise.

I like to sit down with a pen or pencil and just relax not think about anything and just practice making marks. Experiment with it. Sometime I do it for a few minutes other times I do it for hours. I have noticed though that my drawings are always better if I warm up first.

dont get burned out before the instruction even started
adding to the other suggestions, if i really dont feel it and my hand eye coordination aint working at all, ill invest 5-10 minutes drawing circles, ellypses and straight lines (horizontals, verticals and diagonals) covering an a4 sheet. most of the time this improves my performance.
i wouldnt do the blocks of value, if your goal is lines. its a completely different approach. if you want to learn to draw using non-scratchy lines... practice lines. i doubt simply outlining premade shapes would help you in that department.
[edit (bluetooth keyboard stopped working ;()] after all the quality of your lines is secondary and it comes with just drawing anyway... where your lines go is much more important than their quality.

sone_one, yeah, that's what I started doing- drawing lines, circles, point-to-point arc lines. I wanted to do the dots all over the page method and the drawing from the shoulder but, I was out of 18x24" newsprint until today.
Most of my lack of confidence is line drawing still life. Like, the perspective of cylindrical things,, like say a flower pot. Drawing the plant isn't as much of a chore as is drawing the ellipse of the mouth of the flowerpot. If I take a photograph of what I'm looking at and use the photo to build the composition and the actual still life for everything else, I do loads better. Just looking at still life,, my confidence goes down.
No big deal though, I'll just keep doing the exercises.

Elke Sommer against a sea of photographers and spectators and looking back with a shy smile3 Share Tweet
Couldn't blame those photographers at Cannes for flocking to the gorgeous German actress -- she was a European pin-up favorite who eventually also became a Hollywood favorite in the 1960s!
From the archive of LIFE Images comes this interesting photo of the lovely Elke Sommer amid the sea of spectators, reporters, and photographers who had flocked before her for a photo during the 1962 Cannes Film Festival. One can only imagine how LIFE Magazine photographer Paul Schutzer snapped this shot — perhaps, he called out to the gorgeous German actress, who responded with a glance to see the photographer ready with his camera. He presses the shutter just as she decides to give him a quick, shy smile.
It's also definitely worth mentioning the dozens of beautiful classic cameras adorning the neck of each photographer dressed to the nines. TLR cameras seemed to be en vogue at the time, don't you think?
Stay tuned for more of these vintage photos of stars looking classy and elegant during the Cannes Film Festivals of the previous decades!

You may easily lose track of time at the tiny Hill Station Café in Kothanur, but it's likely that your tummy will thank you for it
Amidst empty plots and dusty untarred roads sits an adorable little café in a place where you'd least expect it. Hill Station Café is a tiny haven for those with a sweet tooth, a cosy nook where you can gorge on all the ice cream and cookies you want without the outside world noticing.
Step in, and the smell of baking hooks you by the nostrils. The small counter has an array of cookies and rolls, and above it is the menu written in chalk, announcing home-made ice-creams, nachos, hot and iced coffees, ice-cream cookies and 'Italian sodas', among other things.
With a small menu and just four tables (and a fifth one outside), service is prompt and extremely friendly.
Tranquil hideout
It's a quiet place with rough-hewn wooden floorboards and walls the colour of dark chocolate, decorated with framed posters of hill stations and free-hand drawings. You may easily lose track of time here, but it's likely that your tummy will thank you for it.
Ice-cream enthusiast that I am, I was disappointed to learn that there would be no ice-cream cookies that day. But to compensate, I ordered and demolished their home-made chocolate ice-cream, much to the dismay of my companion. It was rich, creamy and deeply chocolatey: all good reasons for not wanting to share.
Their nachos, unremarkable but comforting just the same, come with the luxury of choice: chilli cheese, sour cream and tomato are the dips you can pick from.
On to beverages
A colourful row of bottles lines the counter, each containing syrup in flavours such as blueberry, hazelnut and apple pie. These are combined with soda to make the 'Italian sodas'. My interest piqued, I tried the apple pie-flavoured soda, apart from being light and refreshing, tasted slightly odd and was, on the whole, unexceptional. Their iced mocha was enjoyable, with a strong punch, but a word of advice: don't ask for a strong one unless you truly mean it.
Cookies to die for
The baked goods are easily the café's best offering. Their cookies, when we got them, were warm and soft with generous chunks of chocolate. Hill Station's friendly, bespectacled, apron-clad owner, who wants to be known simply as Stanley, says he bakes the cookies using a family recipe.
Most of the café's food is baked or made right in Kothanur, and their cookies are even sold independently, labelled 'The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie'.
Stanley is from Kansas, but moved to Kothanur a few years ago. He goes up to each table to ask customers how the food was, and is quick to give refunds (unasked) if he feels the dish didn't come out right. And for now, Stanley wants to keep his little coffee shop small and low-key until he manages to get everything just "perfect".
(Hill Station Café is at 103, Narayanapura Main Road, Kothanur. Call 9886360808.)

Customer Reviews of Black & Blue Three Layer Silicone PC Case Cover for iPhone 4 4G 4S
As advertised5/16/2013
Great value for the price. Thank You
OK cheap case2/20/2013
It works for me. So far nothing broken.
Good value1/4/2013
Bought this for my son and he has no complaints
Value and quality12/10/2012
Originally this was purchased as a Christmas gift for the value but we were very surprised at the quality
Big Stronge Case!11/8/2012
My daughter is an athlete who throws her phone in a duffle bag where it bounces around with text books etc.. This case is pretty tough, maybe not exactly like the $50 cases, but at least 75% as tough, which is plenty good enough, especially for the price. The plastic case is one piece, covered by the rubber outside. The flaps cover the buttons and jacks very well. If you like large cases, this is a good value.
i phone cover11/8/2012
love it as a change for my iphone otterbox
Headphone Jack9/24/2012
the headphone jack is in the wrong location on the case itself! how's that even possible? i mean you can open the port cover and reach it, but that's dumb. second: the cover for the charging port? that should be annoying in about a day. it's already not staying closed. feels solid, not bad material, disappointed by a few oversights. no need to open ports to listen to music, which is a nice feature. overall, not bad, but i'd recommend you try a different case if you are a little more "choosy" about the specifics.
Good Choice9/17/2012
Just got my case this past week, but so far it has been everything I expected. Less bulky than my previous OtterBox, but still very protective.
Works good9/14/2012
I like the color!
For the price good deal8/27/2012
For the price this is a good case. There are a few defects - the earphone hole is in the wrong place and the bottom flap refuses to stay closed. Other than that.. Good deal.
Great Buy!8/9/2012
Great price and Great quality. Delivery was fast! Love it!
Great experience8/8/2012
Great buying experience
Phone cover8/8/2012
Very good every things ok
Great deal for the price.8/7/2012
This case appears to be a well built, sturdy case. The only drawback that I noticed was the haziness of the screen cover. Otherwise, the case is an excellent deal.
Looks better in the picture8/7/2012
The inside shell is plastic and very difficult to take apart. The clear plastic window in the front is good but you have to press the screen harder in order to do anything. Also the clear plastic was scratched, could not remove thin protector from back window so plastic was easily dented. The rubber frame surrounding the phone is ok, except the bottom cover to plug in the charger does not store well so always open.
Great case.8/7/2012
Cases fit better than the more expensive ones.
Excellent value8/3/2012
Can't beat this item based on the low price. Why pay 7x the price for name brand when this "generic" item performs just as well.
a good item8/3/2012
this is a good item!
Puzzled on first day8/2/2012
The product had no instructions on how to open it and install it.
Good item for the price8/2/2012
This item is exactly like the otter box. It is definitely a cheaper version of the defender model, but what can one expect for the price tag? I got this to replace my otter box inner screen lining. I had previously scratched my otter box's inner lining and this worked well to replace that piece for a very reasonable price.
Honest and functional, get what you pay for.8/1/2012
The case will provide a modicum of protection on the cheap, but it doesn't slip on or off easily, and has a problem protecting the corners (covered by plastic, but not by rubber). It's also bulky, and, like every rubber case, makes it impossible to take out of your pocket without turning it inside out. The screen cover is 90-95% responsive, but sometimes you need to press harder on the sides. If you can afford it, splurge for a better, slimmer, stronger, jazzier case. If you can't, this is nice.
Blue case7/31/2012
Great case purchased the blue and red Otterbox case that is equal to the case besides the price and the Otterbox stamp on it. Love it. Will buy more
Economical Case7/31/2012
Good case for the price.
Get what you pay for7/31/2012
It's a knock off of an otter box. The fit of the rubber layer is pretty good, but the material is too sloppy to really keep the earphone and charger flaps closed. It's okay, but I won't likely keep it.
Nice color7/31/2012
It is a very nice case for the price.
falling apart7/31/2012
the rubber part kept falling off the hard shell inside, bad design.
Budget protector7/31/2012
First of all I have the otterbox defender case and this one is really close to it. I dropped my original otterbox face down on the gravel and it left a chip on the plastic screen protector. This screen protector is not as smooth as the one on the otterbox, you can feel a gap when you push down and it requires a little more effort to maneuver the screen. Overall for the price you can't go wrong and I think it would hold up really well to most drops.
iPhone case7/31/2012
Great product for the pruce
Great Product7/31/2012
I like the case it is very functional
phone case7/31/2012
really nice product...difficult to put phone in case without instructions
iPhone Cover7/30/2012
Fast shipping!
Great Case7/30/2012
The case is very good. I feel comfortable that my iPhone is well protected. I like the embedded screen cover.
Too cheap..7/26/2012
Looks like an Otterbox, but doesn't even come close. This may work in a pinch, it's better than nothing at all. I am not trusting the protection of my iPhone with this case.
iPhone Cover7/10/2012
Good product and reasonable price.
good product7/9/2012
Good product.
Good enough
dr hotdeal6/29/2012
Great product6/29/2012
My iphone 4s fits great in this case and protects it very well
Good product. Great price vs Otterbox, etc.6/29/2012
Good fit, great protection. Excellent value at this price.
Total Protection For Your Iphone6/25/2012
This is a solid protector for the Iphone. I would feel safe letting a 5 year old walk around with it. Short of throwing it in the water or hitting it with a hammer, i think the device would survive any type of abuse. Button and openings are exactly aligned. Good Job!!
Simular to an "O" box6/23/2012
This is very simular to the O-box version. I personally think that it is almost just as good.

Intel, DreamWorks Announce Next Gen 3-D Technology Collaboration
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. said all of its films would be in next-generation 3-D beginning next year.
"This is the next innovation for the movie industry," Jeffrey Katzenberg, chief executive of DreamWorks Animation, said during a Reuters interview.
"It impacts how we make our movies, how movie theaters present our films and how audiences experience our films."
In a joint announcement at Intel's Developer Forum in San Francisco on Wednesday, DreamWorks Animation and Intel announced a new 3-D movie image brand called InTru 3D. Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
The company's first film to use the new brand will be "Monsters vs. Aliens", due out in March of 2009.
Renee James, head of Intel's software and solutions business, told Reuters the company's contribution to the partnership came through its acquisitions of start-up companies, and includes advancements to its "Larrabee" stand-alone graphics chip due in 2009.
"The two of us will be working together to generate new computer animation from the ground up," James said.
DreamWorks Animation has already announced plans to replace its existing computing hardware with Intel microprocessors and other technology for its large computer-animation operations.
"The quality and creativity of where Intel is headed is light years ahead of what we've seen anybody else doing," Katzenberg told Reuters.
The animated 3-D images can be produced now with digital projectors, and the production process computers offer immense improvements in sophistication.
"The real promise of 3-D is an immersive experience, not an observational experience," he said.
James and Katzenberg said that after films, the next logical step of the new technology would be with video games, and would extend beyond.
"We want to then move this technology on to the Internet and other experiences," James said.

HB is for dogs too!
Favorite thing: Dog Beach, located on Pacific Coast Highway between 21st Street and Seapoint Street, offers a stretch of beach where your pet is free to roam without a leash. Open from 5am – 10pm, you can frolic in the surf with your canine pal and work on your tan at the same time. Parking meters charge $1.50 per hour.
Fondest memory: Huntington Central Park is home to Dog Park, just off Edwards Street on Inlet Drive near Lake Huntington. Dog Park has separate fenced sections for small and large dogs, with amenities including benches, tables and water. It is open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and 10am to 5pm on weekends. Parking and entry are free but donations are welcome.
Surfing Weather and Report
Favorite thing: Ok, this might be advertising somebody else's page, but here you find current surfing weather daily and a report of it. It is very useful too for those who wanna hit the waves...Plus it is fun too! :)
- Surfing
Main Street is great for...
Favorite thing: Main Street is great for shopping. There are some cute stores and a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!
Fondest memory: There've been a few memorable nights...I'd have to rank my 23rd birthday barhopping bash as the best.
Something tickled his fancy!
Favorite thing: As we only stopped here by chance we did not really see as much as we would have liked. California is such a huge state and time was very limited.
However we enjoyed our paddle and hopefully one day we may visit again.
- Spa and Resort
Got the hang of it now!
Favorite thing: As Huntington Beach is famous for surfing, there is a Surfing Museum situated on Olive Street.
It is a haven for surfing enthusiasts, telling the history of surfing, and you can listen to the Beach Boy's surfing songs.
- Spa and Resort
A Hollywood of Surf in H.B.
Favorite thing: Taking cues from Hollywood, Huntington Beach salutes legendary surfers with a cemented salute.
Celebrated surfers include Kelly Slater (his marking pictured).
Follow the surfing walk of fame along Main and P.C.H.
- Historical Travel
Know about Surf Turf Debate
Favorite thing: Seeking out stories behind the city...
Surf City is a phrase that stirs up debate between H.B and another California city, Santa Cruz. Both claim this title, though, arguably, H.B. better represents and markets "Surf City" throughout the city on streets and business.
- Beaches
The best part of Huntington...
Favorite thing: The best part of Huntington Beach is of course the beach area. There are great surf shops like Huntington Surf and Sport, lavish hotels and if you walk out to the end of the pier there's a great fifty's style diner (can't remember the name)overlooking the water. The state beach actually has bonfire pits that can be used until around 10 or 11 at night. This is a must. There aren't many beaches where it's still legal to have a bonfire!!!!!
Fondest memory: My fondest memory is probably going to the park in the center of town with my aunt as a child. There are geese and gymnasiums and some of the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen.
Wish I had a surf board Mum!
Favorite thing: The Huntington Pier is the site of the Ocean Pacific Pro Surf contest which is held annually in early September.
- Spa and Resort
'I think I'm getting the hang of this'!
Favorite thing: Across from the Pier on Main Street is the Surfing Walk of Fame. .
(I think Hungtington Beach is where the Beach Boys originated).

North Korea takes diplomatic offensive to UN
Published on Jan 25, 2014 2:42 AM
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - North Korea took its demand for a thaw in ties with South Korea to the United Nations on Friday, urging its rival to "end the vicious cycle of slandering and hatred." UN ambassador Sin Son-Ho gave a rare press conference setting out the North's proposals to avoid a "nuclear holocaust" and condemning South Korea's planned war games with US forces.
But the envoy would not answer questions about Pyongyang's apparent diplomatic drive for better relations, which South Korea has already expressed doubts about.
"Any war on the Korean peninsula will help big powers fish in troubled waters and bring unimaginable destruction to Koreans," Sin said, calling for international pressure to halt the exercises.
Sin said the annual Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercises, due to be held by US and South Korean forces next month, should be moved to the United States.
