Reviewer Comments:
The house was absolutely gorgeous and well furnished. We were visiting Yellowstone Natl park, which is around 2 hours drive, but we already knew it and were fine with that. I definitely would love to come back.
This lovely property is in beautiful Big Sky, which is conveniently located about an hour from the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is the closest resort town to the park and is a place with lots of options for dining and activities to entertain you after visiting the park. With over 30 restaurants, a movie theater, and two lovely markets for all your grocery needs, Big Sky has every convenience to make your stay comfortable.
The drive to the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park itself is an experience. It travels through the northwest corner of Yellowstone Park on Route 191 and is one of the most scenic drives in Montana. Wildlife including bears, moose, elk and eagles are frequently seen along the drive.
Big Sky is a year-round destination resort with phenomenal skiing in the winter. Known for the Biggest Skiing in America, our 5,750 skiable acres offer terrain appropriate for all ages and abilities. Beyond skiing, Big Sky is home to a host of classic winter activities including sleigh rides, dog sledding, ice skating, snow shoeing, and tubing.
In the summer Big Ski is home to some of the most incredible hiking trails in the country, as well as white-water rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding and world-class fly fishing in the summer. Throughout the summer there are also complimentary outdoor concerts weekly (a must see), New this summer is the opportunity to take a chair lift ride to the top of Lone Mountain Peak which rises to 11,200 feet above sea level. The views from the summit are spectacular and on clear days you can see three states and two national parks. There are also zip lines, ropes courses, mini golf and more to keep people of all ages entertained. Nearly all of our homes and condos are within a 5 mile drive of the Big Sky Town Center.
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency (US Dollar) unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

What type of ear phones shall I buy?

Hi folks
I want to watch films on my desktop.
I have got external speakers but I don't hear what they are saying, when watching the films. I know the speakers are working fine, since I can hear sound when watching bbc iplayer etc.
So, do you think I should buy earphones in order to listen to these films? If so, could you recommend any?
Thank You.

I wouldn't recommend any "ear phones" but I would recommend headphones which will give you a much more 'professional' sound quality and can also be used when listening to Hi-Fi (radio/CDs etc).

Steelseries do a range of USB headphones with a built in sound card to give surround sound.
Strange you get sound from iplayer but not from films. What app are you using have you chceked to see if sound is muted on it.

is that you can have it as loud as you wish and the rest of the world is none the wiser.
Much better than ear plugs, you can spend anything from £5 to £200. In my opinion, spending £5 is a waste of money but the range £25 to £50 should buy you quality that exceeds almost all normal PC, Surround Sound, Systems.
By the By. Don't waste money on Surround Sound Head Sets. Your ears are not built to tell you where the sound in coming from. Turning your head slightly, your brain, and possibly, the hairs on the back of your neck, tell you when a sound is coming from behind you.

Even though they plug the brands they sell, the advice is sound and will point you in the right direction.
I have a pair of Koss Open Backed phones. I have no idea what they would cost now but I paid £18 for them in the mid 70's. They're light, fit comfortably and are great for Movies on the PC and well as the Heavy Rock that I grew up with.
I'm also something of a Guitar fanatic and they handle Julian Bream's finger work superbly.
Get a half decent set and they'll be with you for life.

If your sound card driver has an equalizer option, you may find it easier to understand the dialogue if you change this so that the upper frequencies come through louder than the lower ones. In fact there is usually a preset level optimised for vocals.

if you can go into one of the big electrical retailers and try different ones for comfort then search for them at the cheapest price on the web, but if you can, ask the store if you can listen to something so as to get an idea of their sound quality.

Healthy, Safe and Secure: Promoting Awareness for Women
Security and health risks are highly variable and depend on the nature of the traveler, the destination and the activities. Earlier this month, I participated in a panel that looked at "Five Golden Rules" that are designed to help prevent exposure to and limit the impact of the security and health risks that female travelers may encounter. You can listen to the full recording, download the presentation and the executive briefing (which has more information on each of the rules). Read full blog post

" Okay. David's Inn was the most hospital and cozy place as a hostel. I loved the mattress the most because it was firm enough to support my spine, at the same time soft enough to sleep well. The hostess was hospital that she not only took good care of her hostel but also she is sweet and loving to every guest. For bathrooms, hot waters run well, though the shower pressure was a bit weak but it was good. I really appreciated staying here. "
Owner Comment
Thanks for the compliments ..... you have been excellent guests .... friendly, polite and friendly! I wait again!

" The new owner is in the process of making improvements and developing routines so some of the details important to travelers are missing. How do you use the fantastic expresso machine in the kitchen? No instruction, not used. I'd like to see a stronger wi-fi signal so you can be online in the kitchen. Instructions on how to get to the place could be improved by using the church near the train station as a reference instead of businesses. The elevator worked well. Friendly, helpful environment. "
Owner Comment
In life as well as in the work you must always improve and listening and asking questions is the best way to do it! If there is something you do not understand the operation just ask .... the staff politely responds. Better than remain unhappy after ...

" Avoid like the plague!!! Unless you like to be woken up by the owner who was the loudest person in the world and who would barge into your room and constantly turn off the lights or just look around to make sure nothing crazy was going on? I'm not sure, but I did not appreciate that, I would like a little privacy please. Also they leave the windows open, which would be nice if you didn't get eaten alive by mosquitoes. So many mosquitoes. "

For privacy it is better to choose a hotel with private room, the hostel does not seem the best place ...... for mosquitoes is known by anyone who are attracted by the light from the open windows .. do it alone .. by deductions to apply the appropriate behaviors .....

- " David Inn is undoubtedly a great hostel to stay in Florence. It is located close to most of the tourist attractions as well as the train station. The Accademia Gallery is just a few minutes away. The hostel owner and staff are very nice and helpful and made me feel at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to crash while exploring the beautiful city of Florence. "
- 22 Jun 2014 Anonymous India
- " The location is perfect but that is not enough. Rooms are not locked. Lockers in the corridor. One shower for all guests (around 20 person) and the shower stall itself is in poor conditions. The kitchen is so small that at a time can hardly squeeze two. I am not saying it was bad, nope. Just an average place. If you like average, choose it. "

Wolf ET timedemo & Rad 9800
OK... just to post here as well, as I already did post the question at TR forums...
So Tech report have made that demo for Wolf ET and they were getting ~ 130 FPS at 1024*768 with no AA and no AF with Rad 9800 pro...
I just tried their demo last night and got confusing results...
Their system was a athlon 2600+ with 333 FSB on NF2... mine is 2400+ with 266 FSB on KT333... so that is some difference but I am not sure that this is all so to start with:
My system: (after sort of sorting out that "heating problem" - now it runs around 63C while gaming )
Epox KT333 chipset
Win 2000
Rad 9800 with Omega Cats 3.6
Creative SB 5.1 Live
network card... and WD 80 GB 8 mb HDD
ok and 2400+ proc... + 256 MB PC2700 ram running async (I know I know... but what the hell no OC for me with such high temps as it seems that they will stay)
the settings were put to performance (should be no AA no AF) in the driver
and in game settings were 800*600 resolution and otherviese they were high... and AF was set to trilinear (but this should be overridden with the driver setting I hope)
so I have run this benchmark with Kazza in the background and got something like
67 fps first time and than ~ 80 fps second time and 84 FPS next... and than it stayed ~ 84, 85 FPS fourth and fifth run.... so it seems that the program was speeding up as i was rerunning the demo???
next I shut down Kazza and than got around 80 fps, 92 fps, 94 fps... in subsequent runs??? so the pattern was there - still 94 FPS to top it off is waay to slow. I have to say I expected more around 130 FPS for this resolution, unless my proc is such a big bottleneck here, still I wouldn't expect to lose 30%+ because of 80 mhz and slower memory...
so any ideas?
I you want you can download the benchmark from here:
http://www.techreport.com/reviews/20...b/index.x?pg=3 and as well get a bit more detailed numbers in that newspost thread...
as for the demo it is like Q3...
just create a Demos folder under the ETMain folder, sasve their demo in there... and run like in Q3 timedemo 1 ; demo xxxxx - where xxxxx is the name of the demo...
any help appreciated... I will do more testing tonight (I hope, even though I might go to the cinema with my wife... so maybe not :) ) But I have to get to the bottom of this :mad:
I play ET @ max everything (no AA/AF) and 1600x1200 res... everything is completely fluid.. incl airstrikes from field ops right in front of me... game remains completely fluid and playable..
I will try benching it and see if I can get any interesting numbers as well :)
all right how am I supposed to run it again ?
I have ET installed already... the free download of the MP game.. what else do I have to install if anything... I clicked on the benchmarking tool and installed it to a demo folder I created...
file name is demo0000.dm_82
lemme know what to do and I will give it a run for you :)
type in the command prompt:
"timedemo 1" press enter
"demo demo0000" press enter again
and the demo should start
to check your FPS you should just open the command prompt after the demo has finished again and it will be there in the last line... the demo lasts around 30-60 sec roughly.
If you could just try a few times without closing the game to see if you get the "speed up" effect when you run it a couple of times straight. Just press the up arrow to repeat the last command (saves you typing :) )
ok.. they are all running round like crazy.. in EVERY run I had.. I dunno if its the demo itself or what...
@ 1600x1200 with all my settings in the control panel maxed (trilinear et al) and no AA/AF... quality driver settings... for 4 runs my fps was
lemme know if you want me to check anything else...
yes the demo runs faster when FPS go faster...
so not bad, and it must be something in my setup that is slowing me down the first few runs, and than additionally I am slow overall I think, but will have to try different resolutions to see what is the case there...
hope that I will do it tonight if not tonight than tomorrow ;)
it looks damn nice for an old game..
I just wish all the classes on the snow levels could earn skates as an upgrade lol... its so hard to revive someone on the ice... takes ages to creep up to them w/o sliding :D
actually could you just change your resolution on 800*600 with no AA or AF and run the benchmark just to see what numbers you are getting ...
|I didn't have enough time yesterday... but I should have it tonight... so I'll post my numbers...
ok.. I'll post results in a coupla mins...
hmm... odd... seems to be highly cpu dependent... getting average of just over 87 fps...
compare that to my 1600x1200 scores... I reckon with a better cpu I would be getting much higher fps...
odd...I woulda thought I would get a higher fps...
Maybe you've pulled a me and left vsync enabled accidentally.
Helpful Hint--do a sanity check after the first set of benchmarks to see if it's hitting the refresh rate.
i'll check when i get back home...
I THOUGHT I did, then I realized I forgot to set ini=...\Benchmark\Stuff\MaxDetail.ini userini=...\Benchmark\Stuff\MaxDetailUser.ini. Yes, Shirley, I'm an idiot.
Then again, if you REALLY CAN set the level of anisotropy in the UT2003 ini file (have to play with it and all that), I will create a Batch File of EVIL that runs 50 individual benchmarks. :D (640x480, 800, 1024, 1280, 1600, with 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x AF, on Asbestos and Antalus--it'd be sweet.)

Originally written on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 11/19/14
Hiring a general manager and making a decision on whether to keep head coach Ron Rivera are the two most pressing issues facing the Carolina Panthers, as the franchise shifts into offseason mode. But it cant go too far until the vacant GM position is filled and a decision gets made with Rivera. Once owner Jerry Richardson settles on who will run his team on and off the field, the organization must move quickly toward the 2013 season. The next GM will face several immediate questions, the first regarding Riveras future. Its possible Richardson may select a GM who shares his view of the second-year coach. The general belief: If interim GM Brandon Beane gets the job, Rivera is safe for another year. Rivera wants to return for a third season. In fairness, he had just one offseason to work with his team, as he was hired before the lockout-ridden 2011 offseason. His 13-19 overall record isnt impressive, but he arguably deseves another season with the club -- based on the state of the ...

Ω Name: Seth Winters
Ω Age: 14
Ω Gender: male male male
Ω Height/Weight: 5'5'' / 125 lbs
Ω Birthday: November 27
ψ Godly Parent: Hermes
ψ Number of Years at Camp: 3
ψ Year Rounder/Summer Camp: Goes home to California for the winter months, but otherwise year round. Seth would like to stay at camp all year round, but his mother insists on having him around for at least part of the year, so they compromised on winter, because Seth likes the warmth of Californian winters anyway. He's slightly embarrassed about this because no other camper (to his knowledge) does something like this, but she is his mother, and he doesn't want to fight her on something that is actually reasonable (for a change)--the desire to see one's son.
ψ Weapon: Celestial Bronze machete - hirquluus - "Hercules"
ψ Subtle Ability: -- tba
ψ Fatal Flaw: -- tba
Ω Likes/Dislikes:
▲ older brother type figures
▲ warm weather
▲ physical training
▲ big, goofy dogs
▲ grape wine
▼ having his looks be described as "angelic"
▼ girls older than him
▼ girls younger than him (totally don't know how to deal with them)
▼ females in general
▼ people who nap a lot....
Ω Personality: insolent | argumentative | jumpy | impulsive | stubborn | diligent | loyal
Seth is just an all-around little brat to most women, including his mother and most older female campers. He is only smart around goddesses, being the good-mannered boy that he knows how to be. He's jumpy at being physically touched (NO hugs) and he hates people patting his hair or calling him "cute" or commenting on what a "sweet" boy he looks like. He will impulsively smack their hands away or spill something on them.
On the other hand, he is exceptionally curious to learn about the gods and goddesses and loves to train until he is half dead with exhaustion. If he sets his mind to a task, Seth is diligent and won't rest until the job is done. Often he sets too-high, suicidal training goals for himself, as if he forgets that he's only 14 and has ample time to improve. He's really selective about those he befriends, especially female friends...but once you're in his heart, he's fiercely loyal and protective of you (stubborn to the death, this boy).
Ω History: Seth's mother, Selene, was a beautiful, airheaded, caring, and stubborn young woman of 20 when she met Hermes (disguised as a human of course). She was young and in love, so she followed her heart. When her pregnancy was announced, her elderly father was very unhappy, but she stubbornly kept the baby. Her father passed away shortly after the boy was born, leaving her with lots of money but no guidance. Selene really, really did try her absolute hardest to be a good mother, but while she was caring and loving, she wasn't responsible or had a lot of common sense. Seth grew up without any material wants for they lived comfortably off his grandfather's money, but he often suffered from loneliness because Selene would be living her own life and could forget to check in with her son for weeks on end. Seth had to figure out a lot of things for himself, and the fact that he struggled greatly in school only made things harder. It was hard to make friends because they either despised him for his money ("all that wealth is wasted on that stupid kid") or they only got close to him only for his money.
Due to his mother's lack of responsibility, Seth developed a pretty negative view of women, finding them focused on extremely trivial things like his mother or they were way too strict and punishing like the headmistress that ran his school. He just didn't really have a good female role model in his life and deep down he wants one so badly, but he pretends he doesn't need any woman in his life at all. The nannies who raised him changed all the time so he wasn't able to form any close connections with them.
Then, on his 11th birthday, an elderly man arrived to be their gardener. Selene was in that phase where she wanted a real live gardener and butler and all that jazz. The gardener was called Mr. Williams and right away he noticed Seth's loneliness. He took the boy under his wing and introduced him to Greek myths, good wine, and most of all, introduced him to the idea of an adult he could rely on. But reading the Greek myths became weird after a while because some of the tales were hitting too close to home...and when Seth finally went to Mr. Williams about it (bashfully and reluctantly because he didn't want to seem crazy), Mr. Williams was overjoyed and promptly explained just who Seth's father was. He offered to take Seth to a place across the country where there were more kids like him and Selene, who had realized at this stage that she'd been a terrible parent, was super eager to please Seth and allowed him to go without a second thought. Seth grew to love Camp Half-Blood, and his loneliness dissipated for good.
Ω Family:
§ Selene Winters [mother - 34 ] - professional diva, total knockout/bombshell, complete California gal. Seth and his mother have an interesting relationship; he thinks she's airheaded and useless and she's the reason he does not like interacting with females. He acts all grumpy around her, but at the same time, he feels like he must protect her and goes to ridiculous lengths to make sure she doesn't know about his problems. She's a kind and loving person, except she's probably more suited to be a big sister than a mother. Especially since she had Seth at such a young age.
§ Mr. Williams [non-blood related - 67] - Seth's mentor, grandfather figure, gardener (he still works as a gardener although he doesn't have to anymore--Selene would provide for him for free, but he likes doing his job) and overall Seth's favorite adult in the world.
"Mr. Williams" is actually a satyr named Vlassis but took on the name Mr. Able Williams to appear more respectable and ordinary. He's always been more of a blending into the background satyr, and as he grew older, his desires to recruit demigods decreased even further. It took him a while to make up his mind to be Seth's gardener, but he is most happy with that decision now. The Mist hides his mythological form from human eyes (like Selene) but Seth learned his true identity once he arrived at Camp Half-blood.
ψ Relationships:
§ laters!
ψ Beads Earned: ---
Ω Misc: ---
Ω RP Methods: Skype is fastest (like wayyy faster) and I can also do notes! Sometimes I drop random comment rps for fun but...they're not a reliable way to rp

The biological processes of greatest importance are microbial metabolism, organic production, and respiration (oxidation). By far the most important overall process for the major constituents of groundwater is that of mineral-water reactions, which were briefly described above in River and ocean waters. Thus, the composition of groundwaters strongly reflects the types of rock minerals that the waters have encountered in their movement through the subsurface. The table shows the waters found in limestones, crystalline rocks, and two types of fine-grained rocks.
The mineralogy of the Wissahickon schist is dominated by aluminosilicate compositions, whereas the Ecca shale contains significant carbonate and dispersed salts. The latter minerals are more soluble than aluminosilicate minerals, and their dissolution gives rise to the high salinity of Ecca shale waters. The waters of the Wissahickon schist have low salinity partly because of the low chemical reactivity of the silicate minerals in this rock. In contrast, the Miocene limestone waters are dominated by dissolved calcium and bicarbonate, a characteristic reflecting the higher solubility and rate of dissolution of the calcite that makes up this rock. The groundwater from the granite is rich in the Ca2+ and Na+ cations derived from dissolution of the plagioclase feldspar (a sodium, calcium aluminosilicate), which is a major mineral found in this rock type. In general, the most mobile elements in groundwater—i.e., those most easily liberated by the weathering of rock minerals—are calcium, sodium, and magnesium. Silicon and potassium have intermediate mobilities, and aluminum and iron are essentially immobile and locked up in solid phases.
Groundwaters are highly susceptible to contamination because of human activities and the fact that their dissolved constituents are derived to a large extent from the leaching of surface materials. Some of the nitrogen and phosphorus applied to soils as fertilizers and organic pesticides may be leached and leak into groundwater systems, leading to increased concentrations of ammonium and phosphate. Radioactive wastes, industrial chemicals, household materials, and mine refuse are other anthropogenic sources of dissolved substances that have been detected in groundwater systems.
Ice is nearly a pure solid and, as such, accommodates few foreign ions in its structure. It does contain, however, particulate matter and gases, which are trapped in bubbles within the ice. The change in composition of these materials through time, as recorded in the successive layers of ice, has been used to interpret the history of Earth's surface environment and the impact of human activities on this environment. The increase in the lead content of continental glacial ice with decreasing age of the ice, for example, reflects the progressive input of tetraethyl lead into the global environment from gasoline burning. Also, atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, which have increased significantly during the past century because of anthropogenic activities, are faithfully recorded in ice bubbles of the thick continental ice sheets. Present-day atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane concentrations are 25 percent and 167 percent respectively, higher than their concentrations 200 years ago; the latter concentration values were obtained from measurements of the gases in air trapped in ice.
The water cycle
General nature of the cycle
The present-day water cycle at Earth's surface is illustrated in Figure 2. Some 496,000 cubic kilometres of water evaporate from the land and ocean surface annually, remaining for about 10 days in the atmosphere before falling as rain or snow. The amount of solar radiation necessary to evaporate this water is half of the total solar radiation received at Earth's surface. About one-third of the precipitation falling on land runs off to the oceans primarily in rivers, while direct groundwater discharge to the oceans accounts for only about 0.6 percent of the total discharge. A small amount of precipitation is temporarily stored in the waters of rivers and lakes. The remaining precipitation over land, 0.073 × 106 cubic kilometres per year, returns to the atmosphere by evaporation. Over the oceans, evaporation exceeds precipitation, and the net difference represents transport of water vapour over land, where it precipitates as rain and returns to the oceans as river runoff and direct groundwater discharge.
The various reservoirs in the water cycle have different water residence times. Residence time is defined as the amount of water in a reservoir divided by either the rate of addition of water to the reservoir or the rate of loss from it. The oceans have a water residence time of 37,000 years; this long residence time reflects the large amount of water in the oceans. In the atmosphere the residence time of water vapour relative to total evaporation is only 10 days. Lakes, rivers, ice, and groundwaters have residence times lying between these two extremes and are highly variable.
There is considerable variation in evaporation and precipitation over the globe. In order to have precipitation, there must be sufficient atmospheric water vapour and enough rising air to carry the vapour to an altitude where it can condense and precipitate. Figure 3 shows the latitudinal variation of precipitation and evaporation and their gross relation to the global wind belts. The trade winds, for example, are initially cool, but they warm up as they blow toward the Equator. These winds pick up moisture from the ocean, increasing ocean surface salinity and causing seawater to sink. When the trade winds reach the Equator, they rise, and the water vapour in them condenses and forms clouds. Net precipitation is high near the Equator and also in the belts of the prevailing westerlies where there is frequent storm activity. Evaporation exceeds precipitation in the subtropics where the air is stable and near the poles where the air is both stable and has a low water vapour content because of the cold. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets formed due to the very low evaporation rates at the poles that result in precipitation exceeding evaporation in these local regions. The strong link between wind belts, the water balance, and the salinity of ocean water is apparent in Figure 3.

HubPages is launching a new sub-forum soon and an ongoing initiative: The 30 Hubs in 30 Days HubChallenge.
Back in May the gauntlet was thrown down between Ryan Hupfer of Hubpages and Courtney Tuttle from The Keyword Academy. 100 hubs in 30 days. Because it was believed that something good would come out of it.
And something did. Within days the hub forum was whipped into a frenzy, and during the course of the 30 days and the aftermath, those participating published more hubs, saw more visitors and for some, a noticeable, even substantial, increase in Adsense earnings.
Courtney Tuttle got off to a strong start, leaving Ryan in his dust, making $475 by the end of the 30 days. Ryan had an excuse though… it was the drugs. For his shoulder surgery, which inconveniently had to be done not long after he announced the hubchallenge to the rest of the HubPages community.
Personally, my revenue rose by more than 300% and hasn't looked back since.
When I took the 30 day challenge I thought I could publish 100. I was wrong. Some managed to achieve the feat, and I guess I might have too, if I could have successfully avoided shopping, household chores and sleeping.
It is important to go at a pace that isn't going to physically drain you and mentally destroy you.
30 may sound like a lot. And it is. But 30 hubs is achievable. And you can accomplish both quality and quantity.
I'm happy with the quality of my hubs: The Roman Empire (I didn't actually do this for the challenge, I had just finished writing it up when the challenge was announced, so don't let the length scare you off), Newcastle, Australia, Caricaturing, Pepe the Prawn, Flagship Hubs, Capstone Hubs, Traffic Bonus, Cheese, Biceps, Sparta, Triceps, Chest, Deltoids, Forearms, HTML, Calves, Welding, Sulla, Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Glutes, Constantine, Seneca, Scones, Fans, Celebrating Useless Keyword Victories, Diocletian, Julian, Lower Back and Abdominals.
You'll notice a theme running in there with some of them (muscle and fitness), more about that in a later blog post.
I'll be breaking down a gameplan in three parts of one method of approaching your own 30 day hub challenge. In fact, I'll be following this plan myself. Yes, once the sub-forum is unleashed I'll be firing off the starting blocks, doing it all again!
And in the meantime I am actually sitting on my hands, not preparing (because I'm too busy getting my blog posts ready!). Preparation for me will happen as soon as I clock in on day 1.
You'll get to read this and more, at the new blog that Greg and I are
about to unveil. Here it is! Startpoint.Biz
Update: Here is my 30 Day Hub Challenge Game Plan: Part I

Nathan Sykes told a One Direction fan EXACTLY what he thought of her after she sent The Wanted rude comments via Twitter.
Nathan tweeted exactly what he thought! Copyright: [wenn]
The One D fan decided to tweet The Wanted saying that she didn't exactly wholly appreciate their er, art using the delightful hashtag #yousuck.
[Related Story: Max George pulls his best 'I want my engagement ring back Michelle Keegan' face]
[Related Story: The Wanted get a telling off for wild night of partying]
Well, to be exact, she said the following...
"I don't know why you give One Direction s**t, you can't even sing. Glee did a better version of your song than you #yousuck."
Glee performed Glad You Came on the show last year.
Nathan didn't realise he was tweeting from the bands account. Copyright: [wenn]
Shortly after the message was sent, the account tweeted back giving the tweeter strict instructions.
"Smile, you got a face like a smacked arse ..."
Turned out Nathan was logged on, after he logged on to his personal account to admit what had happened.
Well, Nathan thought he was tweeting from his own personal account however, he actually was logged in to the official The Wanted feed.
Nathan tweeted: "That awkward moment when you realise you are on the band account instead of your own ..."
However, he is still yet to admit responsibility for that EXACT tweet and when a fan asked him about it he simply responded: "what have I done? :P xx"
Meanwhile, the young lady whose face may, or may not look like a smacked bottom has deleted her account.

People looking over your shoulder as you draw
So sometimes when I draw in public places on ocasion people will creep up behind me and look at whatever I'm drawing. This annoys the hell out of me. I know they're showing interest which is nice, but it's really annoying when someone just walks up and stands over my shoulder uninvited. So a few days ago I was drawing nude women doing some (ahem) provacticve things, I'm not really around anybody, and then this woman creeps up behind me to see what I'm drawing and she gets angry at me, starts yelling, and is like "That's awful! Why would you draw that? Why don't you draw something decent?" I'm like what the hell? I never planned for you to just stand behind me and stare. Go away.

I get a bit thrown off when people do it. At a school, it's a little easier to take but out in the general public? Can't say I like it.
I don't mind people showing interest, it's just a little distracting though. Also I suddenly get self-conscious.

that's awesome. You should've drawn something truly horrendous like a fly headed man eating babies. She'll never bother another artist again.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if this is why so many people shy away when they see me painting/drawing outside. All I'm doing is landscapes, but some people react as if it were a fly headed man eating babies...

It doesn't really both me, except when they stay for too long. A quick "oh what are you drawing?" glance is fine but after a while it just makes you feel uncomfortable about making any mistakes.
Also I hate people that feel the need to give me advice on how to "improve" what I'm drawing. Perfect example: the other day I was sketching this scene for a school project of a dude fighting a zombie and one of the dudes in my class was like "dude you should like draw the guy with the gun with like this huge armor with spikes and stuff and have like a bunch of blood on the zombie and having him go all 'raaaaargh!' and stuff and like holding a severed head or something" to which I reply "heh yeah maybe" all the while thinking "what are you fuckin' twelve?"
As for the woman, you should have drawn her on top of a huge pedestal looking down on people since apparently that's how she views herself

No way . Should have turned and scrawled her bending over, naked or somesuch .
Nah, i don't draw anything provocative in public, really. Faces, gestures and drawing contours of people around me usually is what i draw in public in my traveling sketchbook. But then again, i have trouble truly focusing if i'm not in my haven with proper stimuli.

I don't like it when people do that either, I think it's pretty rude. If they are interested in art and want to see I'd prefer if they asked to see, or asked if they could watch as I draw. It's a little like standing behind someone who is writing a letter or a diary and reading along, it's bad etiquette. A sketchbook is something personal, what goes in there isn't necessarily the kind of art that is for display, and I don't just mean subject wise.
My sketchbook is bigger than yours.

And you see, this is why it's great to be a New Yorker. Nobody ever bothers me on the bus while I'm sketching, despite what I usually wind up doodling: nudes, guro, overly graphic 'War is Hell' imagery, and stuff like that.

A polite "thank you" and I keep drawing. Occasionally I'll smile or nod at their comments, but I try to keep working regardless. They usually don't linger long.

Oh man, this really tends to irritate me. I don't draw in public, but if I'm at home or in school, people see me drawing and just have to come over and invade my personal space. If they asked first I wouldn't mind as much, but I just find it extremely rude.
Most of the time I just stay away from others when I'm drawing. If I'm stuck in class or something, I cover as much of my sketchbook as possible, either with my hands or another piece of paper. Most people seem to get the message from that alone.

"you can always just 'not' draw in public....-_-"
No man, drawing in public's an adventure. It should just be seen as such. Expect to get glances and interest, and use it to make stories. The story you brought at the start of this thread had potential to be really great. You just needed that one snappy zinger to teach that lady a lesson, or at least give it a punch line. Like looking up at her, smiling, and saying, "HA! Made ya look!"

Does this mean I'm the only one who likes drawing related attention? Sometimes I even like the stupid comments. Like the other day some stranger said my dragon looked like a "mouse." I told her it was a dragon, and she said it was "trying to be a dragon but inside there's a baby mouse trying to get out." Yeah, that was stupid. But you know, someone looked at my drawing and was interested enough to come up with a nonsensical story about it, and I like that. I talked to her and she told me about her sister who was an artist and who went to the same school I went to, and if I had just ignored her comment I wouldn't have gotten that story.

When I sketch outside I usually like to look for a place to sit down like a bench or a chair with a table. You won't attract a lot of attention and you can just mind your own beeswax. People will think you're just jotting down some notes or reading.

Spectator's build character!
One of the greatest ego smacks I ever got was from a very sincere spectator who spoke up, over my shoulder, and said:
"You know, there's this woman, Betty Edwards, who wrote this book called 'Drawing On the Right Side Of the Brain'. . ."

"i enjoy drawing in public, but if you're gunna sit and complain about people doing that kind of thing you 'do' have a choice here. I'm with Xinranliu on this."
Well, obviously there's a choice, but it sounded to me like you were implying it's not a good idea to draw in public, because, god forbid, it draws attention to yourself.
I think drawing outside in public is a must for learning and I don't give a rats ass if people watch, so I'm with Xin too. From what you first wrote, it seemd like you weren't with Xin. Now I'm confused...
And I got names mixed up so I had to edit this post...

When someone is wathcing over my shoulder I start a conversation about what I´m doing and why I´m doing this and that, why that line has to be here and that shade has to be there, and that it´s alway about correcting mistakes and so on.
The people get interested in my interest in art and feel the fascination of it.
Feels good.

I used to shut down when this happened. I'd get really pissed and just stop what I was doing and not move until said person left. Some manner of performance anxiety or stage fright or something. Now I could care less. It is interesting that people take interest in what you're doing and often have interesting things to say. Sphyzex_9, if you insist on drawing women masturbating in public you should expect some backlash. Turn it into a social experiment. Toy with people to see what their reactions are. There is no reason that drawing tentacle porn at Starbucks cant be fun for everyone.

As titled, its so awesome to be featured! Always been a reader on Kotaku and I follow their updates pretty closely, i'm sure most of the people out there are the same as well. So to be featured really means a lot to me, personally! Years back I could only look at articles on Kotaku and thought: "Wish I could be on the website someday..", and now I made it! Feels so awesommmeee!
Glad you guys are liking the artworks! If you're reading this and on this page via Kotaku, high five to you my friend! Deviantart's community have always been very supportive and I'm glad I started everything here.
Anyway, I'm greatly honored and humbled by all the kind words given! And I take in all the criticism as well, i always keep that in mind, though i may not be able to satisfy everyone, but i've always hoped to find a balance in them. I will work harder!
At the mean time, hopefully more updates but since the holidays are near it would be a fewer updates, hope everyone is doing well! Have a great christmas guys!
Have a nice day and I'll keep the updates coming!
PS: I'll keep the book info on and the poll as well, it still means a lot if i can continue getting feedbacks
As for Neo Japan 2202 project, I need some pretty big favor from you guys! Currently im looking to make Neo Japan 2202 into a book before into a game! (hopefully), so there's a poll above this journal (Main page) that i hope you guys dont mind doing a pretty fast two-click survey for me. If it were to be made into a book, it's going to be roughly like this:
-- English! But will probably have japanese translation/subtexts.
-- Most probably hardcover
-- 150 - 200 pages.
-- 50-100 artworks (Illustrations and sketches)
-- At least 30-50 Exclusive artworks that can only be in the book.
-- The Story, tons of it! Not just plain texts but with visuals as well.
-- Documents from the Neo Japan 2202 universe, maps/files/pictures/blueprints/namecards etc.
-- Price wise, im not really sure right now but i will definitely keep it as low as possible, the same goes to shipping, but if its not too much of a trouble i hope you guys dont mind dropping me a price range you would buy it!
-- Probably a digital ebook version as well (Download code for physical book buyers included)
-- Hopefully some soundtracks! (Currently looking for collaborators, you guys recommend anyone?)
-- Prints / posters inside!
I'm planning to make it like "The Dark Knight Manual" book, its really great in terms of the readability, design and information. It's one of my favorite book and the style is really close to what i want the Neo Japan book to look like! Here's a youtube video review of the book:
Feedbacks! These are the most important! Also, if you are a publication company, feel free to contact me if you're interested in speaking with me about it. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
P.S: Any 3D modelers/sculptors want to model some of my characters?
Anyway, thank you so much guys and hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks and have a nice day!

Calif. chief justice warns of dangerous delays
Cantil-Sakauye is pressing her case at the same time she is embroiled in a political spat with lawmakers regarding the oversight of the entire court system.
It stems from a massive cost overrun of a technology project that was conceived to link trial court cases in all 58 counties. The project was supposed to be finished three years ago but is still in development even as costs have ballooned from $260 million to $1.9 billion.
A bill passed by the Assembly in January would shift spending authority from the Judicial Council and give individual trial courts more power in setting spending priorities. Cantil-Sakauye has campaigned against the legislation, AB1208, saying it calls into question the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches.
Since then, the chief justice has appeared to have found allies in the Senate, which has no plans to refer the bill to a policy committee for a hearing. Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the bill would undo decades of work to make the judicial system uniform statewide.
During her address, Cantil-Sakauye touted the achievements of the Judicial Council during her little more than a year leading the state court system.
As examples, she noted the establishment of courts designed specifically to handle complex civil litigation and mortgage fraud, as well as the needs of military veterans and senior citizens. She also said the court had created a registry of protective orders and established a system of self-help kiosks.
At the same time, the justice issued a warning about the number of suspensions and expulsions in California's schools, some 700,000 in all. She said that dynamic eventually would affect the courts because children who are not in school will be at greater risk of entering the juvenile justice system.

Obama meets departing Italian president
Friday - 2/15/2013, 9:30pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is greeting outgoing Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, hailing him as a friend and a "visionary" leader and taking the opportunity to thank Italy for its participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and contributions in Afghanistan.
Obama says Napolitano, who ends his seven years in office this spring, has helped guide and steer Europe toward greater unification. Among the topics Obama said the two men would discuss is Obama's plan to pursue U.S.-European Union free trade pact and the formation of a new government in Italy and its implications for Europe.
Napolitano said Italy, which has struggled to shore up its finances and emerge from recession, has made "remarkable progress" in the past 14 months. He says progress "must and will continue."

This zero credit point unit requires students to undertake and pass the introductory unit online prior to enrolling in a Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment Professional Practice unit, Internship unit, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) project and or Industry Based Learning (IBL) unit.
This unit is assessed on a pass/fail basis. Students will be asked to provide a draft series of goals that relate to their Work Integrated Learning (WIL) activities for the remainder of their course (approximately 15 minutes duration). To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve a minimum mark of 70%. Multiple attempts of the on-line assessment are permitted, and this assessment item will form one of the final assessment items in the portfolio assessment for the Faculty WIL units.

Data used to detect mSNPs. Part of the genomic sequence of the OAS1 gene showing alternative acceptor site use at exon 7. The putative causative SNP (rs10774671), which occurs at the G site of the canonical acceptor dinucleotide, and an mSNP (rs2660), which was used to infer allele-specific splicing from EST data, are shown. Splice isoforms and mSNP alleles observed in three of a total of 27 cDNA libraries with ESTs that mapped to this region are also depicted. For each library the data are summarized in a two-by-two contingency table, with each ESTs cross-classified according to mRNA isoform and SNP allele.
