New piece I've been working on for a while.
(Photo of a cardinal by John Benson.)
I'd like to add a background (so much of my work is objects on white, and I'd like to expand from that), but I love the flatness of the yellow dust. Any suggestions?

for the background you mean? a junk yard? some sort of arena, a floating city? I love the style of the piece however I am very confused as to whats going on. is this robot thing standing on the bull creatures head? or is the bull getting ready to ram it? perhaps my confusion will inspire you to create an environment that eludes to the event at hand looks great so far tho!

I think the line work on the bull needs some weight variation.
As for the background, it feels like this bot belongs in a scrap yard. The dust cloud reminds me of Wall-E.
The photos don't fit in with the universe you've created. That being said if you'd like to keep the photos, the one you borrowed doesn't match the other quality of the other photos.
Keep up the good work.

It all begins with the invite, of course. After all, where would the great big Indian wedding be without the elaborate cards that signal the beginning of celebrations? But the times they are a changing and after being flooded with a thousand seen-this-before wedding invites, every once in a while you can find in your mailbox wacky, innovative invitations that reflect the personal touch so many couples are looking for.
Like the card Gargi Shah and Mohit Thatte designed when they got married. "Initially, we met a card designer and told him what we wanted, but he ended up ruining the card. Finally, I sat down and made my own invite using basic computer tools like PowerPoint," says Gargi.
The result was a minimalistic yet detailed account of how the couple met, separated to study and finally decided to get hitched — something a traditional wedding card would never have been able to do.
Gargi and Mohit are not alone. An increasing number of couples are opting for cards that reflect their personalities and look happily different — bright, colourful, illustrated or even movie poster-like. And coming to their aid are a new breed of designers who enjoy customising invitation cards to suit the couples' needs.
"From creating an invite that resembled a movie poster to creating a 'Radha and Krishna' themed romance, we've had a lot of fun designing wedding invites," says Taaneya Balaji, co-founder at Bangalore-based Illustration Much.
Trendy and how
According to Taaneya, the trend of having quirky wedding invites has picked up in India over the last few years. "India is becoming increasingly aware of good design. With so much art and design inspiration online, couples definitely want to add their individual touch to their special day. Each of them asks for the invite to commemorate how they met, or have a little bit of their personalities in their invites."
Until four years ago, Debabrata Dey, who runs Hyderabad-based Thumbspark Creative and has done his fair share of designing out-of-the-box invites, hadn't heard of anyone veering off the beaten path when it came to wedding stationery. It was only after he designed his own invite — in the form of a comic book featuring him and his bride to-be — that requests for quirky invites started pouring in.
Since then, he has created one-of-a-kind invites — the most interesting being a tabloid-style one filled with stories about how the couple met and fell in love — for several others.
Delhi-based Vineeta Grover, who owns design firm Po Tweet, also jumped onto the wedding invite bandwagon after her self-designed engagement card turned out to be a huge hit with friends and family alike.
Included in her collection are invites that resemble flight boarding passes, cards with doodles and caricatures and even an invite in the form of a rocket box painted in loud, bold colours and with a kitschy Indian poster feel to it.
For those couples who have budget constraints or are living overseas, the e-invite has become a favourite. And if you believe that these invites wouldn't be worth a second glance, you couldn't be more wrong. E-invites include everything from static JPEGs and flash animations to web pages with detailed information about the wedding and animated GIFs (graphic interchange formats).
It was one of the options that Vineeta offered Shikha Davessar and Gaurav Bakshi. The Bangalore couple chose to go with a 'filmy' e-invite for their wedding in December last year. "The story of how we fell in love was very movie-like. We had rejected each other on a matrimonial site and gone on to meet a few other potential matches. But during that time, we grew close as friends and eventually, the friendship turned into love. After all that, it only made sense to have a movie poster for a wedding invite!" says Shikha, an advertising professional.
A niche market
Though the trend is picking up, getting non-traditional invites for your wedding is still primarily a Western concept, believes Debabrata. Vineeta agrees and says, "A lot of couples send out the funny invites to their friends and younger cousins, but they usually print separate cards for family members."
The reasons for this, she observes, is that parents of newly-weds usually foot the wedding bill. This means that the couple doesn't really have much of a say in what goes into the planning of their big day.
"There is not much appreciation for wedding invite designers. While photographers earn a lot of money during wedding season, the same cannot be said for us," says Debabrata.
This, most likely, could be attributed to the fact that the older generation doesn't see eye-to-eye with the younger lot and won't understand why they must spend so much when a traditional wedding card picked out of a catalogue would cost a fraction of what designers charge. The designers, in turn, argue that something that involves creative input and time on their part would obviously be more expensive.
Taaneya explains how the process works at their office in Bangalore. "Once a couple approaches us, we set up a one-on-one meeting. We discuss their personalities, how they met, the wedding details and look over visual references that have already caught their eye. We usually come up with ideas together, or list down ideas they have."
"After we've settled on the aesthetic of the card, we start the rough drawings, final illustrations and then complete the project with a final design layout. We also take part in the printing process if requested," she adds.
While the prices quoted by Illustration Much depend on a client's requirement and vary tremendously, Po Tweet's Vineeta charges between Rs7,000 to Rs20,000 for invites.
Although the market for unusual wedding invites is still niche and has some way to go before it becomes the norm, things can only get better as more and more couples realise the need to personalise their wedding.

How do increasing carbon dioxide levels lead to more efficient water use?
The answer, Keenan said, is in the way photosynthesis works. To take in the carbon dioxide they need, plants open tiny pores, called stomata, on their leaves. As carbon dioxide enters, however, water vapor is able to escape.
Higher levels of carbon dioxide, however, mean the stomata don't need to open as wide, or for as long, meaning the plants lose less water and grow faster. To take advantage of that fact, Keenan said, commercial growers have for years pumped carbon dioxide into greenhouses to promote plant growth.
To test whether such a "carbon dioxide fertilization effect" was taking place in forests, Keenan, Richardson and others turned to long-term data measured using a technique called eddy covariance. This method, which relies on sophisticated instruments mounted on tall towers extending above the forest canopy, allows researchers to determine how much carbon dioxide and water are going into or out of the ecosystem.
With more than 20 years of data, the towers in the Harvard Forest which have the longest continuous record in the world are an invaluable resource for studying how forests have responded to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Though more than 300 towers have since sprung up around the globe, many of the earliest and hence the longest data record are in the northeast U.S.
When Keenan, Richardson and colleagues began to examine those records, they found that forests were storing more carbon and becoming more efficient in how they used water. The phenomenon, however, wasn't limited to a single region when they examined long-term data sets from all over the

Congressman makes apology to Haditha marines
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. lawmaker apologized on
Tuesday to U.S. Marines under investigation in the deaths of
two dozen Iraqi civilians in Haditha in a statement his office
said spared him from a libel lawsuit.
Minnesota Republican Rep. John Kline, a retired Marine
Corps colonel, issued a three-paragraph statement under a deal
with lawyers for Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, one of the Marines
under investigation.
Wuterich's lawyers filed a libel lawsuit against another
congressman, Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, on
August 2 following his comments on the case.
"Some news outlets have promoted incomplete statements
attributed to me that gave the false impression that I have
concluded those involved committed unlawful acts," Kline said
in the statement provided by his office.
"I am, of course, very concerned regarding any allegations
surrounding misconduct by U.S. troops in Iraq. Such allegations
must be taken seriously, but we should never rush to judgment
before all the facts are known and the military criminal
justice process is completed," Kline said.
Kline added, "I want to express my sincere apology" to the
Marines in the unit that was in Haditha last November 19.
Wuterich and several other Marines are suspected, but have
not been charged, in the killing of two dozen unarmed civilians
in Haditha, one of a series of incidents in which U.S. troops
are suspected of killing Iraqi civilians.
Troy Young, Kline's spokesman, said the statement stemmed
from an agreement avoiding a libel suit by Wuterich. Mark Zaid,
a lawyer for Wuterich, said "we are completely satisfied" with
Kline's statement.
Kline has been quoted as saying the allegations indicated
the killings were "not an accident. This was direct fire by
Marines at civilians." But Young said Kline "never accused
these Marines of being guilty in this incident."
Murtha, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and leading Iraq
war critic, said in May of the Haditha incident: "Our troops
overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed
innocent civilians in cold blood."
Lt. Gen. James Mattis, the new top Marine general in U.S.
Central Command, is expected to decide whether to bring
criminal charges against any of the Marines under

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
In my point of view, the best MMORPG out there (if not the best game in the world). Combining both PvE and PvP elements, World of Warcraft is a masterpiece made by all the hard work Blizzard has ever put on a game. I've spent many hours of fun with this game, seeing my characters progress was one of the things that make me not want to stop from playing this game. Offering many PvE options, like raids, dungeons and scenerios, as well as PvP modes like Battlegrounds and Arenas, World of Wacraft remains one of the best games in the gaming universe. Having more than 10 milion subscribers from all around the world and 4 expansion packs, it is a must for every Warcraft addict.

Sinead was great. She greeted us, took us to the cottage and made sure all was well. She was accessible during our entire stay. Oysterhaven is close to Kinsale - a 10-15 minute drive. If serenity, quiet, beautiful views and a night sky that Van Gogh would love then this is the place. The cottage had all we needed and then some. It was a great place to use as our home base for some family history search in west cork.
It is a lovely, remote setting. The hostess made a solid effort to ensure a comfortable stay, especially as it was off season. A good value
I stayed for a week in one of the cottages and loved it. The area is remote, quiet and beautiful but only a short drive from the Cork city and Kinsale. Sinead was very helpful in providing directions and preparing the cottage for a late arrival. Definitely recommend and I would gladly return.
The Holiday cottage was perfect! It was beautiful and clean. The location was amazing! It was exactly what we were looking for. Sinead is the perfect host! She is kind and helpful. My only regret is that we could not stay longer. I would stay again!
Very enjoyable , lovely cottages , incredible setting , we ate in every night it was so nice . Will definitely come back , would loved to have stayed longer ....Maire
Oysterhaven is a beautiful place, perfect artists retreat, with the option of a swim in the sea if you fancy, would highly recommend it!
Oysterhaven was a very beautiful place. The holiday home was clean but very basic, we would have been very glad of some coffee and milk for the morning as everything was closed on a Sunday. We sadly had to leave early due to the WIFI problems as we needed it to do some home office, however Sinead was very generous and offered to move us to another house. Overall we where happy.
About the Host, Sinead
Love the view from my office window ! Enjoy reading, walking, food and travel. Looking forward to sharing views of Oysterhaven Bay with guests who come to stay !

ISIS Fighters and Their Friends Are Total Social Media Pros
The fast advance of ISIS fighters in Iraq might have taken some by surprise, but it did not come unannounced.
As they staged their offensive on the ground, quickly conquering one town after the next, members of the al Qaeda splinter group launched an equally efficient public relations war — trumpeting their arrival on Twitter like the most social media-savvy marketing company.
Jihad selfies: These British extremists in Syria love social media. Read more here.
The phenomenon of fighters taking their message to social media is not new, and the war in Syria has been fought over the control of narratives as much as of territory. The offensive in Iraq is opening up a new battlefield both on and offline, however. And, so far, ISIS militants have proved that they are absolute pros at the Twitter wars.
The ISIS social media rollout in Iraq included thousands of Twitter mentions — 67,000 and counting in the last week alone. It also waged a campaign of retweets that catapulted an image of the group's flag flying over Baghdad, with the ominous warning, "Baghdad, we're coming," to the top of Twitter's Arabic search results for the city, according to CBS News.
'Everyone needs a social media campaign today, even political movements in the Middle East.'
In yet another sign of its social media smarts, ISIS even put out an Android app — called The Dawn of Glad Tidings, or simply Dawn — which allows the group to tweet through the personal accounts of its growing base of online fans.
Syria's foreign fighters are here to stay. Read more here.
So while the group's military advancement sent Iraqi authorities scrambling to contain them and the rest of the world fearing the next Iraq war, ISIS also proved to be a product of its times.
"Everyone needs a social media campaign today, even political movements in the Middle East it seems. The type of highly focused marketing and social media community building as exhibited by ISIS is something that brands strive for to get their message across," Dinah Alobeid, a spokesperson for social analytics company Brandwatch, told VICE News. "Taking out the political and human rights implications of this situation, ISIS has a keen sense of how to attract their target demographics, keep them engaged, and spread their messaging and news via social to highly interested individuals."
ISIS' strength lies in the recognizability of its brand, the reach of its network, and its capacity to boost its Twitter presence through a combination of carefully crafted "official" messages, as well as the buzz and volume of fans sharing content across the globe.
'Whether or not their social media presence is exactly reflective of their numbers and power, ISIS have commandeered a great deal of online space.'
"There are different types of ISIS divisions on social media: the ISIS official media account, which publishes all its video releases, ISIS province accounts, which publish live feed info and pictures, the ISIS mujahideen accounts, where fighters talk about their experience and daily life, and ISIS supporters, who counter Western, Shia, and tyrants' propaganda and lies," Abu Bakr al Janabi, a prolific ISIS supporter who often translates and distributes the group's messages, told VICE News.
"Social media is good for building a network of connections and recruitment," he added. "Fighters talk about experiences in battle and encourage people to rise, and supporters defend and translate ISIS statements."
This approach — a controlled central message, but a diversity of voices — seems to have worked well.
Behead first, ask questions later: the disturbing social media of British jihadists. Read more here.
"While it's been reported by the media that the group is using their app to overinflate their reach, it has definitely sparked online recognition of the group and now its social media strategies. Whether or not their social media presence is exactly reflective of their numbers and power, ISIS has commandeered a great deal of online space," Alobeid said. "From a marketing perspective, it's obvious ISIS has a calculated approach to social media that looks to recruit new members and connect interested individuals to create a united front. They are positioning themselves as a transparent entity that shares news and updates for their cause."
'ISIS is the best group in terms of using social media, no doubt, and in Iraq they already have the monopoly.'
And while ISIS might have some competition in Syria, it hardly does in Iraq.
"ISIS is the best group in terms of using social media, no doubt, and in Iraq they already have the monopoly," Aymenn Al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum who has closely followed Syria's militant groups on social media, told VICE News. "Advertising themselves openly has a great advantage in terms of gaining them prominence and potential outside support, particularly with the building of this state that they are constructing in their territory."
Last week, Twitter shut down several ISIS-affiliated accounts citing its policy against threatening posts — but that has hardly stemmed a flood of graphic images of the group's advance in Iraq. Dawn, which was launched in April, reached peak use last Tuesday, when ISIS fighters stormed Mosul and the app's users put out almost 40,000 tweets in one day, according to the Atlantic.
Disastrous #myNYPD Twitter campaign backfires hilariously. Read more here.
By nature, social media campaigns relinquish control of the message over to users (remember the #myNYPD's Twitter fail?), and ISIS is no exception.
"It's clear who's managing the official accounts, it's centralized management, but then there are the fan boys, and no one has any control over what they do," Al-Tamimi said. "I think actually the fan boys tend to reflect more the side of ISIS that is less open to things like compromise with other groups, that is a lot more partisan."
Like Twitter users around the world, ISIS members have also taken to the platform to share pictures of their daily lives — with selfies, food pictures, and vintage filters.
"Every now and then ISIS fighters give advice to stick to Islamic principles, but some supporters might get too emotional," al Janabi said, adding that "all accurate news comes via ISIS official accounts."
I know I should thank Allah a lot for the various blessings that are here. Never imagined would eat snickers here=D — Life of a Mujahid (@LifeofMujahid) June 7, 2014

Work hard, rest and enjoy a little — Abu Fulan al-Muhajir (@Fulan2weet) June 7, 2014
Official handles are usually more on point with their messages, though Al-Tamimi recalled one such account tweeting out a picture of fighters chilling at a swimming pool in Lattakia, a few months back.
LA gang 'homies' claim to be fighting in Syria. Read more here.
"But showing the commodities that you can get, that's not from ISIS official media, it tends to be more from ISIS fighters themselves advertising the luxuries that they can enjoy to attract people, saying that it's not all a nightmarish, harsh life, that you can get a hold of things like chocolate bars," he said. "The problem with that is that there's the risk of being seen as caring more about the material world. They had debates among the fan boys about whether this engaging in blunt materialism is acceptable, and there was a counter campaign that tried to show the difficulties faced by fighters in Syria."
'The cats in the pictures have nothing to do with the media, they try to imitate Abu Huraira, a companion of the Prophet.'
While they regularly share images, often gruesome and photoshopped, of martyrs and enemies, ISIS members also behave much like everyone else on Twitter, and some even pointed out ISIS's apparent love of cute kitten pictures — the social media cliché par excellence.
[tweet text=""How does this one work?" Huraira needs muaskar pic.twitter.com/8uZfaJ34b1" byline="— Abu Fulan al-Muhajir (@Fulan2weet)" user_id="Fulan2weet" tweet_id="477150429944750080" tweet_visual_time="June 12, 2014"]
Our lil friend at home here. Little mujahid — Abu Fulan al-Muhajir (@Fulan2weet) September 1, 2013
But that, al Janabi said, has nothing to do with an attempt to go viral.
"The cats in the pictures have nothing to do with the media, they try to imitate Abu Huraira, a companion of the Prophet, who is known for being fond of cats," he said. "Even the Prophet had cats."
'We are normal people who love to goof around with each other.'
At the end of the day, he added, ISIS fighters and supporters were just "normal" guys — using Twitter like anyone else.
"We are normal people who love to goof around with each other, joke, laugh, and so on," he said. "But when it comes to the protection of our people, then we are very harsh against the enemies."
And there are plenty of tweets and Instagram posts of beheaded and crucified enemies to testify to that.

The Gwynedd region
North Wales boasts unbelievably stunning scenery from the top of the Snowdon Mountain range (3,560ft 1085m) which you can walk to on several tracks or ride to on the Snowdon Mountain Railway to view the magnificent centrepiece of the Snowdonia National Park from the summit. With breathtaking views of the neighbouring peaks, ancient woodlands and moorlands, down to the wooded valleys, still lakes and rushing rivers leading to a stunning coastline.
The shoreline varies from the gentle Victorian style seaside beach of Llandudno to the rocky crags at South stack in Holyhead, the Italianate village of Portmeirion to the bustling University City of Bangor. There are excellent water pursuits in the Menai Strait and the National Watersports Centre at Plas Menai, as well as white water rafting.
There are an incredible range of outdoor pursuits such as climbing, walking, horse riding, cycling, mountain biking, golfing, fishing and bird watching in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Special Areas for Conservation and Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
But equally North Wales is home to some of the National Trust's greatest treasures including Penrhyn castle, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens; World Heritage Sites of Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech; and probably the greatest density of preserved railway including the Welsh Highland Railway and the Ffestiniog Railway .
The great feats of 19th Century Engineering of the iconic Britannia and Menai Suspension Bridges spanning the Menai Straits, Conwy Suspension Bridge and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct .
Tyddyn Sydney Bach just off junction 9 of the A55 is the ideal base for exploring and experiencing culture, history, industrial archaeology and the widest possible range of outdoor and leisure pursuits.
Tyddyn Sydney Bach is located in the secluded grounds of a larger cottage in the village of Treborth, just on the outskirts of the University City of Bangor, between the internationally famous Britannia and Menai Bridges crossing to Anglesey. Treborth is as old as the Faenol Estate, which dates from Tudor times.
Treborth means a homestead and a ferry and was probably associated with one of the many ferries crossing the Straits. In the 19th century it became the site of one of the greatest works of engineering of the railway age and home to the hundreds of workers and their families.
Five minutes walk from Tyddyn Sydney Bach takes you to one of the Britannia Bridge Lions and a little further on to some of the last relics of the original tubular bridge and its construction. Five minutes walk in the other direction takes you to the Treborth driving range and 9 hole golf course
Treborth is on the outskirts of the small but lively University City of Bangor with her restored Victorian Pier, Port Penrhyn and beautiful Cathedral where Deiniol founded his monastic community in 525 AD. Art and local artifacts are on display in Gwynedd Museum and Gallery. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool complete with diving boards and water slide, all-weather 5-a-side and grass playing fields, Bowling Green and a shopping street which is reputed to be the longest High Street in Wales.
Bangor is a friendly coastal city with unique character and landscape which boasts its own mountain and panoramic views of the sea. Bangor Mountain is home to the St. Deiniol Golf Club designed by James Braid, the famous golf architect and Open Champion. In the City itself there are nature and heritage trails linking the City's green spaces with its rich-architectural heritage.
Nearby the National Trust's properties of Penrhyn castle, a Neo-Norman revival mansion, which has stunning views, a Victorian walled garden, collection of dolls and toys, steam engines and great master paintings and Plas Newydd with its collection of Whistler's work where the fascinating and intriguing mural can be seen in the dining room should not be missed neither should the World Heritage Site of Edward 1 castles at Beaumaris, Caernarfon, and Conwy.
Bangor is twinned with Soest in Westphalia, Germany and enjoys frequent exchanges between Soest and Bangor Citizens.

"Best Self Catering ever stayed in!"
Coming from South Africa and touring Whales, we stayed for 7 nights after spending 5 nights in Bath rural area. The rates were very similar between the two establishments but the quality of accommodation all-over of Tyddyn Sydney Bach was a world apart from that experienced in Bath.
A very friendly lady, Les Day, met us upon arrival and took time to explain everything we should know about our new home. Not only was the apartment, very neat and fully equipped with everything you should need during your stay, but we also found milk in the fridge, flowers on the table and a fruit-loaf for us to enjoy!
The apartment was well stocked with washing machine an dishwasher powder, even the liquid for hand washing your dishes were supplied.
Bedding and mattress were of very high quality and CLEAN. The bathroom spotless and comfortable, fitted with towel-warmer and high quality towels.
The environment around the apartment is very neat and quiet allowing you to have a peaceful stay.
Les and her husband were always available to supply help and information when necessary but always respecting our privacy.
Rest assure, the photos of the apartment you see on internet is a true reflection of what can be expected, there will be no surprises. My only surprise was that it was rated 4 stars and not 5!
The free Wifi/internet access was a real bonus.
Les Day is a real asset for the Whales hospitality industry.

"Fantastic cottage with everything that you need"
Really lovely cottage in fantastic garden. Very warm welcome. Les showed us round and explained how everything worked. The roses and bara brith were a lovely touch. All mod cons and in easy reach of several supermarkets. The cottage is well situated for all major tourist spots. We were also very lucky as the sun shone every day. One of our best holidays ever. Thanks Les and William.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Petrobras-Petroleo Brasilier (PBR - Get Report) are up 6.93% to $14.66 as support for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff continues to slip, according to a new opinion poll.
Voters are displeased with the country's poor economy which Rousseff reportedly can't explain.
Brazil's real rose for a third straight day in the longest stretch of increases in almost a month as a poll added to speculation that Presiden Roisseff will face a runoff after the October election, Bloomberg reports.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
- PETROBRAS-PETROLEO BRASILIER's earnings per share declined by 43.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Stable earnings per share over the past year indicate the company has sound management over its earnings and share float. However, the consensus estimates suggest that there will be an upward trend in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PETROBRAS-PETROLEO BRASILIER's EPS of $1.70 remained unchanged from the prior years' EPS of $1.70. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.61 versus $1.70).
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $3,981.00 million or 46.59% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed against the S&P 500 and did not exceed that of the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 40.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $3,854.00 million to $2,280.00 million.

Beauty And The Beast
Christina Aguilera
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

My agenda isn't to push them to do it, it's to help them get it right if they choose to do it. I asked if they needed me for anything during the race, and they said no. I put all that work into the roadbooks and GPS files over the years and I dont even get a free hotel room! I agree, WTF!

Seems a bit "strong" for such a tiny piece of the course. I'm a helper just like many of the other helpers that are not racing it. I think you're giving me more power and credit (or blame) for this than I deserve. Mike and Ken and all the others are big boys who make their own decisions. They chose, all on their own, to provide roadbooks, call it a rally, and not allow prerunning long before I even knew of the event. I did point out some loopholes and flaws with their initial system, so I guess I deserve a tiny bit of credit, maybe 5% of the 5%. I knew this heat was coming before I made the post, but it's still best for everyone to know sooner rather than later, and to understand how best to deal with the technical aspects.

As I pointed out before, in many circumstances a roadbook is better than a GPS. If you're prerunning, then you might know where the nasty hazards are, but prerunning is not allowed. The roadbook tells you exactly where they are, and what they are. The GPS file doesnt have that information. There are advantages and disadvantages both ways.
Doesnt a 2-seater with a co-dog and a GPS provide a big advantage over a single-seater with only a GPS? Its not clear at all which puts the single-seater at a greater disadvantage, GPS or roadbook.
Personally I dont think one is better than the other. They are just
ways to find your way to the finish.

|8 Teaspoon (2 Tablespoons Plus 2 Teaspoons)
|Unbleached all purpose flour
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Low sodium chicken stock
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Diced bell peppers
|2 Cup (32 tbs) (Yellow Colored)
|Diced celery
|1 1⁄3 Cup (21.33 tbs)

|Ground black pepper
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|8 Cup (128 tbs), loosely packed

1. Using a sharp paring knife, cut an X on one flat side of each chestnut.
2. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat and add the chestnuts. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pan and cook 20 minutes, or until the chestnuts are tender when pierced with a knife.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°.
4. Cut the bread into 1/4-inch cubes, spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden; set aside to cool.
5. When the chestnuts are cooked, transfer them to a colander and cool under cold running water. Remove and discard the outer shell and inner skin. Break the chestnuts in half if they do not break into pieces as they are peeled; cover the chestnuts loosely with foil and set aside.
6. For the dressing, melt the margarine in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring, until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Gradually stir in the stock, bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until the mixture is thickened. Stir in the bell peppers, celery, thyme and black pepper, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pan and simmer the mixture 1 to 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are just crisp-tender; set aside.

I'm planning on going to the Tennessee vs Kentucky game this year. Only SEC football does it this big.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqH1pegUBBo]YouTube - Tennessee Band pregame march[/ame]
Wisconsin would also be a great place to go.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgf7HKrdLL8]YouTube - U W Jump Around 9/22/07 Badgers vs. Hawkeyes[/ame]
A&M has weird fans.... but wow.. Kyle Field is nuts.

Always liked the big game Clemson atmosphere

I would also add...
Notre Dame has to be #1
The Big House
"Profanity is the Crutch of Inarticulate Mother ****ers"
The Wall in the Bathroom at People's
I get chills everytime I hear C-L-E-M-S-O-N. I would love to see a game at Death Valley. I still want to see a game at Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Oregon.
EDIT: Forgot Notre Dame.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
definitley the big house and florida
I want to see games at Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Florida, Florida State and Miami.
43-54 Record in CF Mafia. The most games played and wins by any player in Cyclone Fanatic History. Yes, I'm a nerd.
I would like to see a college FB game in my backyard, but that probably won't happen. Plus, it would really screw up the lawn. Oh, and I wouldn't mind going to a game at Ole Miss - mostly for the tailgating in "The Grove."
id like to one day visit the smurf turf
only 30,000 fans but it is still one of the hardest places to play.
Most SEC Schools
A&M esp when it gets to 100 g's
tOSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn St.
Maybe Texas when it gets to 100 g's
I love the ISU gameday experience, but SEC football does it right. Can't wait to attend my first game.

To resuscitate the country's rich textile heritage and present hand embroidery in a contemporary way, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts is currently hosting a unique exhibition at its premises here.
"Resurgence" seeks to promote traditional textile crafts and educate the uninitiated about a range of embroidery styles. A lot of meticulous planning went into this exhibition which concludes Sunday.
Curator Asif Shaikh said: "From the IGNCA's rich archives, I was given the liberty of using four embroideries, including phulkari, kantha and rabari, to produce a range of products for the collection. With the help of artisans from across the country, I have produced different kinds of weaves, textiles and prints."
Mr. Shaikh said the exhibition intends to revive miniature embroidery and present it in a modern way. He said embroidery is looked at as old and dishevelled.
"We want to change this incorrect perception among people. In the 20th century, a range of embroidery styles were presented at exhibitions across the country. So why should we not give it a fillip in the 21st century?"
Mr. Shaikh, working for two decades to strengthen our country's textile heritage, is exasperated with some designers for indulging in plagiarism and using technology to produce garments with different embroidery styles.
"What people do not realise is that these designers, who do not have knowledge about the background of different embroidery techniques, are destroying the livelihood of artisans. All they are interested in is earning a quick buck. Machine embroidery cannot replace the skills of indigenous artisans. These designers have no interest is preserving our rich embroidery styles for the future generation."
According to IGNCA member secretary Dipali Khanna, textiles, embroideries and weaves are the fabric of Indian culture. "These weaves, patterns, motifs, textures and colours are the dreams, aspirations and hopes of those who weave them."

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has launched a probe after it detected a unique modus operandi to launder money by some importers who submitted fake bills to get bank remittances in their foreign accounts mainly located in Hong Kong.
After months of probe, the DRI claimed that certain traders submitted bills of imports for consignments that never reached Indian shores resulting in loss worth crores of rupees to the exchequer, official sources said.
The DRI has alerted the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on this Trade Based Money Laundering and illegal transfer of funds abroad which "are being noticed more frequently now", they said.
"It is suspected that big corporates are also involved in the Trade Based Money Laundering (TBML). These cases worth several crores are being probed by the agency," a source said.
Acting on an intelligence input, an investigation was launched by the DRI which found that importers were submitting forged bills of entry and other import documents to the banks with an intent to fraudulently remit foreign exchange.
The investigation so far has revealed that huge amount of foreign exchange had been remitted to various overseas accounts located mostly in Hong Kong, the sources said.
The authorities found that in many cases, import documents like copy of bill of entry, invoice and packing list have also been submitted. However, on detailed examination, these import documents were found to be fake and no such import have taken place, they said
As per RBI instructions, where foreign exchange acquired has been utilised for import of goods into India, the authorised dealer should ensure that the importer furnishes evidence of import that is exchange control copy of bill of entry, postal appraisal form or customs assessment certificate, etc. To banks to ensure that goods equivalent to the value of remittance have been imported.
However, unscrupulous importers file fake documents including bank of entry towards the end, the sources said.
This modus operandi has also been brought to the notice of customs authorities. The customs officials have been asked to verify bills of entry and import documents which are forwarded to them by authorised dealers for verification "with due care and diligence", they said.
The DRI, which acts as lead agency to check smuggling and cases of Trade Based Money laundering, has also asked the RBI to verify the bill of entry being submitted to them manually or electronically, the sources said.
The intelligence agencies have of the late detected many cases of Trade Linked Money laundering.
A TBML is process of transferring or moving money through trade transactions. In practice, this can be achieved through misrepresentation of price, quantity or quality of imports or exports.
The basic techniques of TBML include over and under- invoicing of goods and services, multiple invoicing of goods and services and over or undershipments of goods and services among others, they said.
As many as 296 cases of suspected Trade Based Money Laundering were registered by the DRI officials during 2013-14 involving Rs 1,817 crore.
Whereas, about 251 such cases involving an amount of Rs 1,130 crore were detected during 2012-13, the sources said.

Hi there! Im wondering if i trigger the temple guard ability once towards another temple guard and if he got skinked for 1 dmg, does the next 1 dmg assigned to him this turn get transferred again or is the packet damage transfered gone?
Temple Guard question
Posted 11 December 2013 - 04:05 PM
Posted 11 December 2013 - 04:43 PM
I don't understand, write down the order of the actions and the cards XD
Posted 11 December 2013 - 06:30 PM
temple guard ability
Action: Spend 1 resource to redirect the next 2 damage dealt to target unit you control to another target unit you control.
skinks of sotek
Action: When this unit enters play, deal 1 uncancellable damage to target unit
the question was I have 2 temple guard in play and 1 resource free
opponent plays a skink of sotek targetting temple of guard
i pay 1 resource to redirect it to the other temple guard
now if my opponent plays another skink targetting the same temple guard,
does it redirect this new 1 dmg to the other unit or has the packet dmg fizzled with the previous skink of sotek?
hope this clarifies
Posted 12 December 2013 - 02:19 AM
Effect of action lasts until the end of the turn, so if another skink shows up the second damage will be redirected too.

Jennifer Lawrence: 'I always knew I'd be famous'
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jennifer Lawrence says growing up in Kentucky she always knew she would be famous.
The Best Actress Oscar-winner for "Silver Linings Playbook" tells the September issue of Vogue magazine that she used to "lie in bed and wonder" about what would make her well-known.
She says, "It wasn't a vision. But as it's kind of happening, you have this buried understanding: Of course."
The 22-year-old also confesses her childhood was "unhappy" because she was "anxious." Her parents even sent her to a therapist.
It was when she got cast in 2007 in the TV series "The Bill Engvall Show" that her mother realized she no longer needed counseling because acting made her happy.

M. Cathleen Kaveny
"Whitman's work on reasonable doubt is of immense importance both to the academic and to the practical realm."—M. Cathleen Kaveny, University of Notre Dame Law School
To be convicted of a crime in the United States, a person must be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." But what is reasonable doubt? Even sophisticated legal experts find this fundamental doctrine difficult to explain. In this accessible book, James Q. Whitman digs deep into the history of the law and discovers that we have lost sight of the original purpose of "reasonable doubt." It was not originally a legal rule at all, he shows, but a theological one.
The rule as we understand it today is intended to protect the accused. But Whitman traces its history back through centuries of Christian theology and common-law history to reveal that the original concern was to protect the souls of jurors. In Christian tradition, a person who experienced doubt yet convicted an innocent defendant was guilty of a mortal sin. Jurors fearful for their own souls were reassured that they were safe, as long as their doubts were not "reasonable." Today, the old rule of reasonable doubt survives, but it has been turned to different purposes. The result is confusion for jurors, and a serious moral challenge for our system of justice.

Video round-up: Notre Dame beats Michigan
Sep 23, 2012, 1:53 PM EDT
The newest AP poll is out and Notre Dame climbed to No. 10. It's the highest ranking for the Irish since the end of the 2006 season, and gives the Irish an opportunity to head into bye week on their best early season roll in a decade.
We'll get to the big recruiting weekend as news trickles in. We'll also have the good, bad and ugly a little bit later. But here's a video round-up with some highlights from Notre Dame's big victory over Michigan.

hmmm, well lets get this started. Nude tell me more about how bad Rees sucks, and how accurate Golson is. Oh yeah, rees bailed em out again!!!! Oh now what should you say. Nothing would be great!!! But for completely clarification, Im still waiting for Gunners opening day start next year. Thrilled with the win!!! That D is nasty!!!!!!
- irish4006 - Sep 23, 2012 at 2:30 PM
What's your point? There is a reason Everett is our starter and continues to be… and you are waiting on Gunner's start next year, like you already know he will play lights out football from game 1? How? If he is that great that you seem to know for sure, why don't we just hand the keys over to him now. He will probably not even need coaching, let's just fire the offensive coaches and save some money for the school while we are at it.
Try to articulate your thoughts better next time so that it doesn't sound so dumb next time and, BTW, the 2 thumbs up you got are probably for –
1. Taking a shot at Nude
2. The D is nasty comment
- fentocamarillo - Sep 23, 2012 at 3:51 PM
Try to articulate your thoughts better? Who are you? This is the blog not English class. Stop being so pompous. The gentleman has a right to his thoughts without criticism of his grammar. Idiot.
- irish4006 - Sep 23, 2012 at 4:46 PM
@fento, no one criticized anyone's grammar; calling someone an idiot without even understanding what is being said, however, does say something about your own intelligence.
- fentocamarillo - Sep 24, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Irish 4006
So you calling jomilly "dumb" is ok. I repeat my last comment…see above.
- irish4006 - Sep 24, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Sigh, you still did not get it… Okay, let me help you (although I have my doubts) – my first post was to ask what jomilly's point was, which for some reason you thought was about criticizing grammar. The second post was to politely remind you that you need to understand what is being discussed before jumping to conclusion. Focusing on one word in a 100+ word post without understanding the context or the content and getting one's panties in a bunch is not a sign of intelligence.
I don't know how to make it any clearer. I will try to run this reasoning by some 4th graders I know in the neighborhood and see if they understand. Either way, I am done with you… please feel free to call any other name (or keep repeating yourself).
- irish4006 - Sep 23, 2012 at 2:35 PM
BTW, I did like how TR played in this game, a lot. He looked like a very different player and made some pretty good throws. Great job!
- jomilly - Sep 23, 2012 at 2:49 PM
4006 I love your heart. made me laugh. Ill work on not being so stupid, thanks for the reality check buddy!!!
- irish4006 - Sep 23, 2012 at 4:56 PM
. Sorry, nothing personal. I think EG will get much better as the season progresses. He will have the opportunity to prove himself in the next couple of games before Stanford. There is no need to give up on the season so early (esp. when you are sitting pretty on a 4-0 record) and look forward to next; is there any guarantee that GK will be a stud from day 1, or we will be a better team even if he is?
Go Irish, beat Miami (and BYU and Stanford and… on and on)!! As soon as we start playing some offense, this will be a fun team to watch.

im not saying give up on him. Im more saying stop hating rees. Hes unathletic, not the strongest arm, made many mistakes last year, but just as Golson can get better, why cant rees. As far as ive seen, and im not thrilled to say this, Rees probably should be the qb, not sure what he has to do to earn it. But in my book he has.

Looking good is also about feeling good and our Bollywood beauties would obviously agree. While competing against each other both on and off screen is part of the game, a lot of them have taken to fitness like never before, and launching their own line of fitness DVDs is definitely not the latest fad. However, the latest entrant in the business is actor Lara Dutta.
"I belong to a profession that constantly requires me to look good. Since my focus has always been on being healthy, not on catering to expectations or the 'size of the hour', I have managed to maintain a toned body from the very beginning, without losing my mind over it," she states, adding, "My focus is a healthy lifestyle as opposed to rigorous workouts."
HEAL With Lara Dutta is a series of DVDs. The first one is on yoga — recovery and rejuvenation, along with innovations and exercises in fitness. But are fitness DVDs by actors taken seriously? Lara says, "Nowadays, people don't have the time or patience to spend months over a particular diet or exercise regime to see if it works — they want to see results. As an actor, one has access to a public platform, hence, garnering interest is easy. Since we are a living proof of its effectiveness, it's more convenient for people to follow something that is tried and tested."
As far as her career in Bollywood is concerned, Lara says she's currently having a blast shooting in Berlin for Don 2. Her home production, Chalo Delhi with Vinay Pathak is next on the agenda. It is a rather unlikely pairing, and Lara explains, "Vinay is a versatile actor and the script demanded someone who is unconventional. He's been a unanimous choice."
Also noteworthy is the name of her production house, Bheegi Basanti. "I have always been a huge Sholay fan and Basanti has been a favourite name. I thought Bheegi Basanti had a kitsch, cliched reference to the quintessential Hindi film heroine and it sounded cool," she explains simply.

Miss Teen USA, Logan West, Partners With Reach Out and Read of Greater New York to Urge Families to Read Together
Miss West Read Aloud to Children at Two New York Pediatric Clinics in Support of the Reach Out and Read Children's Literacy Program
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 08, 2013
Children at Beth Israel Pediatric Associates gathered for a very special story time with Miss Teen USA, Logan West. Her visit highlighted the work of Reach Out and Read of Greater New York, an early literacy program that partners with pediatricians to make reading part of a healthy childhood for young New Yorkers. Miss West also read to children at the Ryan/Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center.
Through Reach Out and Read, pediatricians provide children with free age-appropriate books at each checkup, and work with parents and caretakers to make reading aloud with their children part of a daily routine. This is the third year of Reach Out and Read of Greater New York´s partnership with the Miss Universe Organization, the producers of the MISS UNIVERSE®, MISS USA® and MISS TEEN USA® pageants.
Dr. Robin Jacobson, Chief of Pediatric Ambulatory Care for Beth Israel Medical Center said, "The kids in our practice love the Reach Out and Read program and look forward to receiving books at their doctor visits. They had an extra special surprise when Logan West visited our office. Logan was not only beautiful and kind, but she showed the children that education is very important for your future." Through Reach Out and Read, pediatricians at Beth Israel have distributed more than 7,000 books to patients in the past year alone.
"Reach Out and Read has been a wonderful program for the Ryan/Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center, as it helps us connect children with books at a young age," said Dr. Carolyn Chu, Medical Director and Acting Executive-Director of the health center. "It highlights the importance of literacy from the very beginning, and encourages families to bond through a shared love of reading."
Adds Logan West, Miss Teen USA: "I had such a wonderful time reading to the children, and I am thankful to be a part of a program that is exposing children to books. I was fortunate to have parents who read to me as a child, so I hope that every child has the same experience I did."
There are Reach Out and Read programs at more than 180 hospitals and health centers in the Greater New York region, including the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and seven counties north of the city. Any family that visits a pediatric clinic with Reach Out and Read is exposed to the program, which reaches over a quarter of a million children each year, primarily from low-income and under-served communities.
According to the newly released Kids & Family Reading Report from Scholastic, "having reading role-model parents or a large book collection at home has more of an impact on kids´ reading frequency than does household income." Reach Out and Read aims to influence parents´ behavior by encouraging them to read aloud with their children every day, and by providing them with the tools to help them do so: new, high-quality books.
About MISS TEEN USA:
The Miss Universe Organization, a Donald J. Trump and NBCUniversal joint venture, is a global community empowering role models of beauty, health and leadership for young women of today. As part of the Miss Universe Organization, Miss Teen USA is dedicated to partnering with charities around the world, and to increasing awareness of teen issues.

About Beth Israel Pediatric Associates

PADRES: Thrust into fire, rookie Hamren comes through against Marlins
SAN DIEGO — With Ernesto Frieri on the disabled list and Mike Adams on the Texas Rangers, Padres manager Bud Black has had to ask some of his young pitchers to step into unfamiliar roles.
The strategy seemed to suit Erik Hamren just fine on Friday night at Petco Park.
The Padres rookie reliever got a pair of critical outs with the bases loaded in the sixth inning of a 4-3 victory over the Florida Marlins in front of 26,065. Hamren sandwiched strikeouts of two of the Marlins' biggest home-run threats — Mike Stanton and Gaby Sanchez — around a run-scoring walk to maintain an early lead for winner Wade LeBlanc (2-4).
Heath Bell, who earned his 34th save, and three other Padres relievers then combined to close out the team's 10th win in 15 games.
"I'm starting to move beyond (the magnitude of the situation), but it's still in the back of your mind that you're facing the National League home run leader with the bases loaded," Hamren said of his strikeout of Stanton. "This is a great opportunity. Every game is a fresh new page."
Last month, Hamren was riding buses in the Texas League at Double-A San Antonio. Last year, the Orange County product was playing independent baseball in the Midwest.
With several key pitchers gone or unavailable, Black has been forced to violate his own rule of thumb by throwing rookies into critical situations. In a perfect world, with a bullpen stocked full of veteran arms, Black would use rookies like Hamren, Josh Spence and Anthony Bass only in blowout wins and losses.
But Black doesn't have that luxury, and had to call on Hamren to protect a 4-2 lead when Stanton was brought in as a pinch-hitter with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth.
Hamren started Stanton — who leads the Marlins with 29 homers and 76 RBIs — with a pair of 92-mph fastballs for strikes and ultimately retired him with a 1-2 slider off the outside corner.
The right-hander then walked Emilio Bonifacio on four straight pitches to let Florida creep within a run. But after a quick pep talk by pitching coach Darren Balsley, Hamren came back to strike out Sanchez.
"I had to tell myself to move on and go back to the mentality of being aggressive, and I got a good result," Hamren said.
Black was impressed by Hamren's fortitude.
"He got thrown into the fire," Black said. "He ran the highs and the lows. These guys are finding out every day this is a job interview, and I think they're getting a sense of that."
Kyle Blanks gave the Padres a 3-2 lead with a long fourth-inning home run to left field. With a man aboard, Blanks caught hold of a hanging 1-0 slider from Marlins starter Chris Volstad (5-10) and deposited it into the second deck of the bleachers.
"It always feels good to contribute," Blanks said.
Blanks also made a nice running catch on a ball that tailed away from him in the fifth inning off the bat of Sanchez.

Mesothelioma Victims Center Now Urges All Mesothelioma Victims To Call Them For The Names Of The Best Mesothelioma Law Firms For The Best Mesothelioma Compensation
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "There is a direct correlation between the quality of the mesothelioma attorney, or mesothelioma law firm when it comes to financial compensation for this rare form of cancer, and we are literally the only group in the United States that offers victims of mesothelioma, or their family members with the names, and contacts of the best mesothelioma attorneys, and or best mesothelioma law firms in the nation." Victims of mesothelioma, or their family members are encouraged to call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
(PRWEB) April 09, 2013
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is now urging all diagnosed victims of mesothelioma, and their family members to concentrate on financial compensation for this rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, and to call them for the names, and specific contacts for the most skilled, and capable mesothelioma law firms in the United States, because there is a direct correlation between the very best mesothelioma law firms, and financial compensation. In many instances mesothelioma financial compensation can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars, and the Mesothelioma Victims Center does not want a diagnosed victim, or their family members to get shortchanged by allowing themselves to fall prey to a mesothelioma marketing law firm advertising on cable TV. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "There is a huge difference between the very best mesothelioma law firms, or best mesothelioma attorneys, and all the rest, when it comes to financial compensation for mesothelioma. When it comes to getting the names, and contacts for the best mesothelioma law firms please call us first. We are the only group offering this vital service." For more information victims of mesothelioma, or their family members are urged to contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Typically the average US mesothelioma victim is in their late 60′s, or their 70′s. More often than not mesothelioma is diagnosed three, four, or even five decades after the exposure to asbestos. For a son, a daughter or a wife trying to get the absolute best information after a mesothelioma diagnosis, the Mesothelioma Victims Center has no equal, and you can call us anytime at 866-714-6466."
The Top Six States For Diagnosed Victims Of Mesothelioma As A Percentage Of The Population:
- Maine
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
- Washington
- Wyoming
- West Virginia
Mesothelioma is an extremely rare form of cancer. According to the US CDC approximately 2500 US citizens are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. Mesothelioma cancer is a result of exposure to asbestos. One third of all US mesothelioma victims served in the US Navy. Other high risk groups for mesothelioma include shipyard, smelters, power plant, manufacturing, chemical plant, or oil refinery workers, plumbers, county, or city municipal water district workers, miners, electricians, demolition contractors, railroad workers, or auto brake technicians. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
