Big K.R.I.T. ft. A$AP Ferg - Lac Lac
Artist: Big K.R.I.T.
Featuring: A$AP Ferg
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: Cadillactica
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 17 votes )
It's Wednesday, and y'all know what that means: another fresh piece of content from Big K.R.I.T.. Follow-up to yesterday's Conscious Effort freestyle, which didn't make it onto our front page, the latest #WEEKofKRIT release finds the Meridian, Mississippi repper hooking up with a member of the ASAP Mob for a leisurely ride in his Lac Lac. K.R.I.T.'s organ-laced boardwork is, unsurprisingly, smooth as butter, but he laces the silky production with some surprisingly aggressive bars. The final verse sees him excoriating artists who come to him with their hand out, hoping to receive beats and verses free of charge. ASAP Ferg lends his melodic flow to the middle 16. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked for more series standouts as the #WEEKoKRIT progresses.

Thread: renewing my art
February 9th, 2010 #1
renewing my art
I just posting drawings I am working on, and if anyone has questions or comments, go ahead and give them to me. My art plans are in my head and sketched out on a layer not shown, but if you would like to see something different just say it.
Drawing information;
All of this was drawn in photoshop.
When I start out with a room I imagine what I want, and use my favorite tool (Polygonal Lasso Tool (L)) on a new layer and fill it with color. I do that for each wall. On these walls I drew lines to mark were I wanted to draw the stones. I hold the shift key to make the lines. The stones are on a new layer for each wall and to blend them together I use the top layer to draw on.The window was just a matter of selecting the area filling it with white, then selecting area for lines and drawing them in. I like to work by selecting each surface and drawing what ever I want in them like the work bench edges were one selection and the top was another, but to make the edges I use the marquee tools. After I finish I add a layer to blend some of the edges. When I drew the top I draw the grooves to make them boards, and added some grain. The bright area lit by the window is another selection but I used Feather on the Lasso tool and copied what I drew and paste it back in. Then I used brightness and contrast to make it look like a bright area. Drawing each stone was a little hard, but it looks better. they don't have a lot of highlights, because I don't want to have highlights on stones in shaded areas. So, I do that on a new layer when I draw the shadows from the work bench. If you try drawing like this and get use to it you will find just drawing what you want can be very quick. Why I use layers covers a few good reasons:
Every part of things I make a layer so I can draw each piece. Some parts may go under the other part so there are no cracks at the seams.
If I feel something is finished and I want to add something to it, even highlights, I start a new layer. Then I always have a option to edit, add layer effects or fade, and only effect that layer.
If a surface has an edge and it is not a simple color but has wood grain or texture, different highlights or anything I make a new layer.
I am free with layers, and if I wanted to find one in many I right click over the area with the selector tool and a list of everything in that area will show up. If it was named that makes it easy.
On this I drew each tool. Like the push drill the handle and the shaft were drawn separate. and when it was finished I merged the layers, then added the shadow. I link those together in case I move the tool.

Hm very nice! Great start to a new sb. Only crit i would give is that the corner where the window's wall and the tool wall meet seems a little flat.

Finished this one. There was other stages removed from my sketchbook so I could move on to the next.
All of this was drawn in photoshop.
Each tool was drawn in photoshop and merged down when it was finished. I knew the shape of each tool more than each tool. (Mind fill of silhouettes.)
I used a method to put each tool in perspective while drawing and It might be complicated to a lot of people but it is a very quick way to make it more accurate. I made a tutorial when I made the pipe clamp that shows all the details, because it was not as easy as other tools. I can imagine some of the easy tool and not draw them that way, but this Tutorial is how I draw things I could not imagine in any perspective I needed.http://www.archie-chipps.com/extras/...awingTools.psd
It is a psd to make it easy while I drew the tool that I used in this image. To make this easier to understand and imagine I created another tutorial that explains how you can build a house in photoshop from floor plans.http://www.archie-chipps.com/extras/...floorplans.htm You can always visit my website and see other tutorials that makes drawing in photoshop easy. http://www.archie-chipps.com

Starting a new one.
Drawing information;
This girl might look a little 3d, well it does to me. It is because I drew her to use in the Carver drawing, and I moved her to this and started an idea just for her. She didn't look right in the other scene, and she is still a little dark for this one, but I have all her parts so I can redraw her in this scene.
I draw a quick background with a few trees, sky, land, and this big dead tree, then I added a little more to it, like a hard brush to create the dead leaves, and a small soft brush on the bark of the trees. It just seemed too easy, so I drew grass the same way, but used different strokes to imitate moss and grass. I scribbled in the field grass and used motion blur, and the eraser to make it look better and added a few strokes to it. Every thing still going so easy, so I actually drew the well and squirrel, and added a branch for him to play with. I have the big stone from the start that I wanted to make like a small fairy home, but with all the easy things to do and hard, I started doing some work on the pine bark of the tree. I used a fine brush to make it look like wood, but I think I might need to age it a little. I like the wood but it might not go with this picture. Someone told me to add a pond with some geese so I drew that quick in zoom, and with the water I used a filter called Twirl. I still have a newer version with some of the pine bark done, but I have not updated this.

I don't know if I will do much with this. I just stared it for an idea.
Drawing information;
I wanted to try something new and different in perspectives like this frame in outer space. It's sort of like the halfway point in StarGate to get to Atlantis.
The whole frame is one layer, and I made the background in different layers the planets. I had a hard time with the shadows because I already merged the layers and I needed the main surface, so I had to selected them with the lasso tool a little at a time. Then I had to do it again for a shadow of the other side that is not in this picture. I started drawing the basic part of a shuttle to add to this drawing.

Drawing information;
I added and changed a lot of the drawing for a good highlight, then drew welders in suits and the mig welder with the hoses in perspectives, and added a break area.
I thought about adding some kind of space car so the guy could be dancing with his car stereo pumping away, but everything just started to get less interesting to finish.
Update Not very interesting enough to finish.

I made this ship in Hexagon 2. I did the texture, and color map in Hexagon, and rendered it in Poser 7.
I wanted a water background so I drew something up in Photoshop.
I didn't spend a lot of time because I was just testing what the ship could look like. With the texture, render and drawing in the background I might have spent a half hour playing with it. What you see is actual size.
Drawing information;
The last image on a white background didn't look like it would be very interesting so I drew something up in a few minutes, and some things like the upper water took a few wavy lines that would make light waves on the ship, so they were added in. I basically wanted something quick and a mossy rock seemed natural, and just a little extra work with a small brush. I threw in a light, and that made it a quick picture. I think it turned out finished more than I needed to show my 3D object. I threw in some light beams for good measure.
I did a video of coloring to show basically how I draw. I consider drawing easy, but thinking of doing it is hard. It would be a lot easier to be thrown into a drawing than start one. So I tried coloring.

More 3D
This is my last render of a Carrier, and a Shuttle before I zipped up a file to download both for free.
This is the download link http://www.archie-chipps.com/objects/ArchShips.zip
Drawing information:
A lot of the UV maps were setup by me in the program while making the 3d model so I made it easy to make the flames on the back with a image, the rest was drawn on the ship in Hexagon 2, then I rendered it in Poser 7. No need for drawing, but I did render and save this as a png so I could use it as a layer in photoshop.
I just added a black background.

Here is an older image of it before I redid the UV's. It has some texture, but not like the Shuttle, because it is much bigger and it has to use a bump map. The models are large enough to fit with Daz or Poser people, but it is just the outside hulls of both.
Drawing information:
I don't like spending a lot of time drawing backgrounds for my 3D renders, but I don't like them to be plain, so I copied the background from the Space Welding drawing for something in the background.

Hey man, some interesting pieces here, some pieces looks like a combination of painting and 3d together. One thing I notice though, there seems to be just a hint of bluriness in all of your pieces, like the camera is just out of focus by a bit. I wouldn't know how to fix this, but something for you to look at if you want. Have fun with your next works! =)
July 26th, 2010 #17
The last ships were 3d made in Hexagon and rendered in Poser.
Everything else was drawn in photoshop. The best way to draw in photoshop that make it quick is to draw blurry and work on detailing it until the blurriness is gone. The first picture with the carver was a drawing that took time on every detail, and the rest is more of a quick sketch for ideas. No need spending a lot of time drawing something if it isn't interesting enough, just start blurry and bring it into focus. I like to play around with a lot of things, and the brown leaves on the ground was done with a hard brush for background effect for a few more detailed leaves. That was how that picture started, and it grew from there. I wanted to use a small brush and scribble in colors for the bark of an oak tree, and if all this is a little off, it was made mostly out of memory what things look like. The tall grass looks good because it is drawn and improved with motion blur. The short grass is just strokes of colors with a small blurry brush. I was just playing a little with that picture and did a little more than sketching with it as I drew. The under water mossy rock was done with a small blurry brush. The reason for blurriness with 3D is for an idea of a background to suggest where the model could be. It is better than a model with a background while I spend time creating the model.
The planets started as a filled in circle with dabs and brushing from different size soft brushes. The stars are done with the smaller sizes with settings adjustments with added clouds with a few sizes and ajustments on the brush. So most of my sketching can look like a drawing just a little blurry from the lack of detail, but I don't spend a lot of time on them and that makes me happy. I feel good at doing quick layouts, and I might draw one detailed picture a year. I think it is good, because I am on a long path to getting the love of art back since 2006 when I really hated art and would bite you for saying "art". People had to whisper about my artwork, because they didn't want to see me get pissed off about the topic.
It started after I was under a bum contract with Music Match designed to stop me from drawing for anyone else. The contract was broken with me returning the check, and started selling better skins to their customers closing them down.

Hey bro
It's cool, if that's what you prefer, going from blurry paint to more sharper details it's fine. We all have different ways of working. I may try mixing some softer brushes into my own work after this, so we see.
Yip, I can see somehow it may be nicer to work with things out of focus if it speeds up the drawing in general. Cool bro, good luck with your next work. =)

Thanks. I visit when I am not doing much. Somethings can be hard, and I take a break. I have been learning about scripts and call tags for Unity a 3d Game creator.
I am glad you find that information helpful. It might have been a lot of years for me, but I remember what made a big difference to drawing a lot better every step of the way.
I don't mind sharing.
August 9th, 2010 #21
Sketched out ideas. My sketches might not look like sketches but I don't see why they need to look like sketches as long as the serve the same purpose, (A quick representation of an idea to work with.) Some people like them to not show color and as much as I make so they can use their imagination better. So my sketches are like basic concepts and only take seconds to draw and create. some I add more because there are parts I find too easy.
So this is a group of ideas I thought about, and because one thing I thought about was why wait for some game company to hire me, when I can learn what I need to know and make my own game. I am studying Unity to be able to make games.
I'm taking a break from it right now, but soon I will get back into the scripting. I'm playing around making a spy game digging up hidden government secrets about UFO's. I have no idea what the game will be like but for now this is something to work with until I can do anything I need to make a game. It starts out as I break into a locked up government storage hanger, and find a big ship and a stealth that I fly out to escape anyone coming after me for blowing up the security system to get in. That is all I have so far. It's a start.
Drawing information:
The top images were quick drawings (Layouts) using the lasso tool and a soft brush. I think of that way of drawing is as close to a sketch, because like pencil sketches we just draw a basic idea of a layout, but since lines are hard with digital I avoid them, and just make shapes that are filled in and if there are a lot I copy and paste a lot. Like the trees, and I brush in shadows, because most of that idea was about shadows. I can draw many different kinds of trees or brush in many different weird trees if that was my idea. The whole purpose with my sketches are to quickly throw down an idea before I forget it, and not get into a lot of details. Just like an idea, and bam it's on something I can save and work with. If it is very blurry I can imagine something different than what I imagined when I sketched it out. Sometimes that could be good as long as I can look at it and remember what I saw when I drew it. It could mean nothing to you, but I will see something in it. For digital work that is great even if it is a bunch of circles with text in them, saying tree goes here. The way the tree looks is not important just a fill in for an idea, and that is all it takes to have a layout.
If I have an idea and don't draw some kind of layout then I would draw one thing and everything else is forgotten unless it is a background, then I would be just adding things here and there like I did the Carver. I would have no idea when the picture has enough junk in it, or where I would put things unless I keep that in my mind, but there will be empty areas I didn't think about, because it is easier to have everything in place before you see them. By the way that peg board is one of the easiest things to make, like brick walls, block walls, or tile walls, you just make one and copy it to fill the wall and lay that layer in perspective with Distort. There are just too many things that can be easy and anyone can do if you know how.
The last two images are copied from a game I was making for practice.

hey mate interesting work.You mainly use 3d meshes for a base and then working them in photoshop?
you can evolve this style to make some awesome pieces.
there is a lot of soft areas here and there, maybe reduce them a little because it makes the overall look less defined
keep it up mate!!!
August 9th, 2010 #23
Thanks I create some things in 3D and render them in poser as a PNG like a layer in Photoshop. Then I can add to it so it isn't as boring. Most of my work is all drawn in photoshop. I make it easy to imagine by drawing something close like a quick drawing, and if I like it I draw it in more detail. I have been just drawing ideas for a while because it is quick and it seems to take very little effort. I am happy with doing that, than I am actually finishing something. I hope I will enjoy art more so I can really get back into it.
I am making a 3D game, so I have been making stuff I can use in the game.
August 10th, 2010 #24
hey nice concept for the game i also like the 3d model concepts above. good to hear your enjoying art. Keep on enjoying it.
August 10th, 2010 #25
I guess it would hurt to draw up some kind of storyboard. That way I would be able to plan the first stage, and make it more interesting.
August 10th, 2010 #26
I hope this makes a good start, for an idea. I spent a lot more time thinking about it and did more drawing than I planed, but I hope it is interesting. I guess if I write a story I could do better, because my imagination works better with words than pictures, and the pictures I imagine are better.
Drawing information;
All of this was drawn in photoshop 7. You may have a version of photoshop that lets you import 3d into your drawing, but the one I have I like better, because it don't. The time line and animation I have is not like a 3d program, and it is Image Ready. With photoshop and Eye Candy I can do fire on text or anything and change the seeds to make an animated fire loop. I paid for another program to make animated gif files and I enjoy Photoshop 7 with Image Ready. I have always had a browser in photoshop 7 so I can see thumbnails of files before I open them, or just edit them while they are just thumbnails. Photoshop CS5 is bringing that back.

I liked some stuff in the gallery like Riddick drawing. You always start with 3d models as it seems? do you do stuff from a simple scetch?
Thanks for your feedback in my SB. I certainly lack backgrounds, but now i more of concern over general level of my PS skills, so when i ll get more fammiliar with the program i suppose i'll get to the backgrounds as well. As for the PS version, right now i can't afford license, so i use crack, but on the other hand i don't get any profit from this, and i have in plans intention to purchase the product sooner or later.
August 12th, 2010 #28
My sketch book has some 3D, but nothing in my gallery even started with 3D, but the way I sketch and make each surface separate areas to work on might make them look like 3D, but what I draw can go far beyond what I can create in 3D.
I have gone the other way and make some things in 3D based on a drawing, but the drawing always looks better than the 3D.
Just looking at the last image I drew look like the cup is a 3D object added to my art, and the only thing I can think is I pay more attention to 3D details than I do with real life. I didn't draw the cup from a real life memory, I drew it the way it would look in 3D. I never really noticed or thought about that before.

very nice mate!!!so you dont use any 3d rendered image,opened in photoshop?They look very 3d enviroment like.I mean the shadows and everything.Even the line quality doesnt have the painterly feeling.While i like these very much i would like to see some more pencil(or whatever medium) sketches
keep up the good work mate
August 17th, 2010 #30
Some times I try to finish this. I remember the baby type hands, the little old face, and the mean look on it's face when I was going to grab it, making me think it will bite. I remember the little teeth, and a lot of things that didn't go through a lot of changes as it morphed, but a lot of it was blurry, and all the time I spent on this I am sure the face looks the same. I just can't seen to finish it as if something was not right. It could be the fingers are not fat enough or old enough, but it is not right in some way for me to say it is finished.

Members of the Jewish fraternity and its alumni indulged in "tons of food" such as sandwiches and "latkes," potato pancakes, said Saucedo. Latkes are shallow-fried pancakes of graded or ground potato, flour and egg, often flavored with onion and garlic seasoning.
Saucedo said his family tops their latkes with sour cream and applesauce.
"That's a tradition," he said.
Two active members, Jared Brass and Eric Van Raalte, lit the candles on the menorahs as the fraternity sang a traditional prayer. All of the candles burned until self-extinguishing.
Although the fraternity does not celebrate Christmas, the brothers have an annual tradition of eating Chinese food and going to the movies on Dec. 25.
The holidays are about "brotherhood," said Saucedo. "Being together as a group and enjoying each other's company – that's what the holidays are about."
Bill Clunliffe, music professor
Cunliffe said he would marry his sweetheart Wanda Lau on Dec. 23 in New York City, and then the two of them would travel down to Vermont for Christmas Day before heading back to New York for three nights at the Iridium Jazz Club.
Cunliffe met Lau at church after finding dead ends through online dating, he said.
Henry Puente, associate professor of communications
This holiday season, Puente will coach the La Puente High School Wresting team.
He said it's his way of "giving back to the wresting guys."
Inez Gonzalez, Latino Communications Initiative director
Gonzalez is traveling to China with her family to site see and visit the Great Wall, Shanghai and Beijing.
"I love traveling," said Gonzalez.
Kyra Brown, 17, freshman history major
Brown is going home to Ridgecrest, CA for the holidays to spend time with her family.

Stanko thinks kids need to learn to handle the truth
Since we're having little luck with rainstorms, other than this past weekend's, maybe we could try a storm of another name. For that, we need a cloudburst type of guy named Allen Stanko.
Stanko, who'll turn 59 this month, was a career-long algebra teacher at Santana High School in Santee. He retired after 27 years in 2010 to take care of his infirm parents. He's never regretted leaving the classroom. What he took with him was a nice pension and a hatful of impressions of how our kids can be better educated. He not only stirs the pot, he sloshes it …
A couple of weeks ago, when Alpine teachers first started picketing for more money, Stanko got on one of his motorcycles and tooled over to where the picketers were standing. He went up to some sign-carriers and in his profundo voice told them they were already making enough money and to get back to the classrooms. He did not say it in a consoling way. To say Stanko is assertive is to say a snake bites or a dog barks. Just born to be.
"You always hear teachers don't make a lot of money, (but many make) around $70,000 a year if they're long-timers with a master's degree, which basically means nothing because you (only have to) jump through hoops to get a master's in education. That's good money. I think a lot of them just listen to what the union says. (I say) go out and find a different job if you don't like this one.
"What I'm reading is that they're going on strike because their wages are getting cut and their benefits are getting slashed from $13,000 down to $8,000; I know a lot of people who wish they could get $8,000 worth of health benefits and that pay. They keep saying, 'Oh, I'd rather be in the classroom.' Well, then, be in the classroom."
Stanko draws a pension of about $36,000, which he says is more than many families earn. He gets by just fine on it. He lives in Alpine with his longtime lady and his fleet of aging vehicles and motorcycles. He says all of them combined wouldn't equal the price of a new car.
You put Stanko — he of the longshoreman face and backwoods-preacher beard — on one of his bikes with a leather jacket, black boots and one of those German army "coal scuttle" helmets, and if you watched him thunder by on the freeway, you'd make sure your car didn't crowd him, and you'd wonder what prison just turned him loose.
He's been known to walk into a bar in an armless T-shirt flashing his tats. They're not the usual dragons and daggers. High on each shoulder is a tattoo of an algebraic equation.
I can imagine a bottle-smashing bar brawl if some of the biker guys got to arguing over the solutions to the math problems on Stanko's arms.
But if you put aside the dude's gruff and a-bit-bombastic manner, he has some serious thoughts about the drift of elementary and secondary education.

In the orientation program, students will be provided necessary help and guidance to enhance their abilities to present their research work in an effective manner.
He added that colleges are expected to highlight the basic concept and the objective of the competition and give them information about the relevant areas in which projects can be carried out.
He added that amount of Rs 8000 has been sanctioned for the expenditure to organise the orientation lectures.
He also appealed colleges to intimate students to start preparing for the research projects for Avishkar-2014 and also asked to convey the guidelines.
Categories for participation in the competition
Humanities, Languages, Fine Arts, etc.
Commerce, Management, Law etc.

If the polling for NBA Finals MVP was being done before Game 5, no one from the star San Antonio trio of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili would have led the balloting.
That would sound like a good sign for the Miami Heat.
It's not - not with the way Kawhi Leonard and Boris Diaw are playing for the Spurs.
They are role players in name only. Leonard has led the scoring charge in the last two games and Diaw has more assists than any other player in the series. They're a big reason why the Spurs can wrap up a championship on Sunday night, when they take a 3-1 series lead into Game 5 of the finals.
Leonard averaged 24.5 points on 68 percent shooting in Games 3 and 4. And in the Spurs' three wins, they've outscored Miami by 65 points with Diaw on the floor.

When it comes to an OS, what should you choose? Each of the four biggest players; Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Vista and Windows XP have their merits. So we've taken four experts and asked them to defend their chosen operating systems in an opinionated free-for-all.
Linux: Light on its feet and ready to strut its stuff
James Turner
Let's get the unpleasant part out of the way first: if running Adobe Premiere is the most important thing in your life, or you want to play Halo, Linux isn't going to do it for you, at least not right at the moment.
While most Windows software can run under Linux in one fashion or another, applications that make extensive use of hardware drivers or high-end graphics may not work right.
But for everything else, Linux is definitely the way to go.
Unlike Mac OS and Windows, Linux is free as air and open to development by folks who are motivated by the desire to make the technology better, rather than by corporate tech farms whose real interest is the bottom line. Which is all very nice, but is it any good as a desktop operating system? You bet.
Size and speed
Let's start with the hardware footprint: With the possible exception of BSD, Linux's 'sister', Linux is the lightest thing you'll ever install on your computer. While the minimum required hardware for Windows has been bloating, and Macs need more and more horsepower to run OS X, you can still dig out your old 486 and fire up Linux without problems.
I recently got one of the One Laptop Per Child XOs, a machine with 256MB of RAM and a power-miserly processor, and had no trouble running Xubuntu Linux on it. Meanwhile, Windows XP needs to be sliced and diced like crazy to fit on to the same hardware.
It's not for nothing that you'll find Linux inside of devices where hardware cost is an issue, such as personal video recorders (PVRs) and routers. I was somewhat shocked to find that my recently purchased 52in LCD TV has a Linux kernel inside of it. If you hunt around, I'll bet you'll find at least one device in your home running Linux.
Stability, security, transparency, flexibility
Linux is not only small, but it's also stable. I have several Windows boxes at home, and it seems like whenever I blink, something has gotten screwed up in the registry or I have a Dynamic Link Library conflict.
Linux has all the configuration data and libraries right out where you can see them, in files. You can see what's changed and make edits manually, without having to figure out which of 9m HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entries is the one you want. Even the system-configuration tools that have nice graphical user interfaces (GUI) end up generating human-readable and editable files at the end of the day.
In the recent 'hacker challenge', computers running Mac OS X and Windows Vista were cracked, but the Linux machine wasn't. I won't claim that Linux has no security or virus problems, but they tend to be right out in the open where you can see them if you look.
At the moment, there are far fewer Linux viruses out in the wild than Windows viruses, and there are fairly bullet-proof ways to detect viruses under Linux using checksums on files.
Conversely, it's much easier to move your Linux system to new hardware or clone an existing system because there's no licensing. I've never had a problem moving a Linux system disk to a new computer, even when the hardware was drastically different. There's basically no way to do this on either a Windows or a Mac system.
You also have your choice of Linux distributions, from geek-friendly Debian and end-user-friendly Ubuntu to business-friendly Red Hat and Novell Novell SUSE. And no matter which one you pick, you can rest assured that they'll all run the same apps.
Applications and interface
It used to be the conventional wisdom that the problem with Linux was desktop applications. But with tools such as Wine, CrossOver Linux and VMWare Player, many Windows applications run just fine under Linux these days.

Last year's decisive (8-1) decision by the United States Supreme Court in Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians v. Patchak, 132 S. Ct. 2199 (2012) ("Patchak") appeared to be a major blow to tribal gaming and other fee-to-trust acquisitions. Patchak seemed to open up challenges to fee-to-trust transfers to a broader group of plaintiffs and significantly extend the time for filing such suits. The Court's decision in Patchak, when combined with the Supreme Court's 2009 decision in Carcieri v. Salazar, 129 S. Ct. 1058, raises several complex issues, including (1) whether the litigation floodgates were opened to question newly acquired Indian land trust acquisitions, and (2) whether the trust transfers would remain in limbo during the pendency of litigation. Most gaming observers at the time agreed that Patchak would certainly delay development on newly acquired tribal lands.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs ("BIA") is proposing a major revision to its regulations governing applications to acquire land in trust under 25 C.F.R. Part 151, referred to by many as the "Patchak Patch." These proposed regulations are intended to significantly limit the uncertainties created by Patchak by adding administrative obstacles for potential litigants and expediting trust acquisitions. As the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, Kevin Washburn, recently noted, the proposed Patchak Patch is intended to "protect tribes now".
The revised regulatory provisions will modify the existing regulations for the Department of Interior ("Department") in several key respects, including:
These proposed regulations were published on May 29, 2013, in the Federal Register. Comments must be received by July 29, 2013.

Appearance for Respondent:
Michael Rawson, Esq.
Rawson, Merrigan, & Litner
185 Devonshire Street - 11th Floor
Boston, MA 02110
Administrative Magistrate:
Joan Freiman Fink, Esq.
On June 18, 2008, the Petitioner, Board of Registration in Medicine (Board), issued a Statement of Allegations ordering the Respondent, Dr. Barry Poret, to show cause why he should not be disciplined for misconduct in the practice of medicine as well as engaging in conduct which places into question his competence to practice medicine and undermines the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession.
On June 18, 2008, the matter was referred to the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA).
A pre-hearing conference was held on September 15, 2008 at the offices of DALA, 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114. As a result of this pre-hearing conference, an Order to File Status Report was issued with an effective reporting date on or before December 10, 2008. By agreement of the parties, the Order to File Status Report was extended to March 12, 2009. On March 12, 2009, the parties notified DALA that they wished to schedule an additional pre-hearing conference. A second pre-hearing conference was held on April 6, 2009 at the offices of DALA. At that time, a hearing on the merits was scheduled for July 13th and July 14th, 2009.
On July 13, 2009, the parties notified the Division that they have agreed to resolve this matter and on that same date they jointly filed a Stipulation executed by Dr. Poret, his counsel, and Board counsel. In the Stipulation, a copy of which is attached as Attachment A, the parties have agreed to certain Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
The Stipulation is incorporated herein by reference. Other than the Stipulation and the admissions contained therein, I have not taken evidence with respect to this matter. Based on the facts as stipulated, I conclude that the Conclusions of Law set forth in the Stipulation are warranted and I hereby adopt them.
Based on the foregoing I recommend that the Board impose such discipline on Dr. Barry Poret as it deems appropriate in light of the facts and conclusions of law as stipulated by the parties.
Joan Freiman Fink, Esq.
Administrative Magistrate

Candidates in May polls urged to go 'green'
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Environmentalist groups rallied on Tuesday before the Commission on Election (Comelec) in Manila calling on candidates to be green-minded.
Activists from Greenpeace, EcoWaste Coalition, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) dressed as popular green-colored superheroes marched to the Comelec head office to promote their 2013 Green Electoral Initiative (GEI).
The "GEI aims to ensure that the right of Filipinos to a 'balanced and healthful ecology' is upheld and safeguarded," the groups said in a joint statement.
Francis Dela Cruz, Greenpeace Southeast Asia spokesman, said that "The country's leaders should be green superheroes–not jokers or, worse, environmental villains."
"Protecting the environment should be a key national policy and a priority election concern both for the candidates as well as the voting public. Environmental protection directly translates to economic benefits for the nation as a whole, for communities and for each individual Filipino," Dela Cruz said.
As part of the GEI, the groups will conduct a survey on several key environmental issues such as budget allocation for the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, the enactment of a national plastic bag ban, passage of a law to promote energy efficiency, and a law that would eliminate toxic substances in consumer products, among others.
They then intend to invite candidates to participate in a public forum to discuss the issues.
"The candidates may have green pick-up lines which are effective in capturing the attention of the Filipino public," Edwin Alejo, National Coordinator for EcoWaste Coalition, said.
"But they should go beyond mere rhetoric and pursue legislation that would ensure protection of the environment," he said.
He further said that the groups were committed "to watch over these candidates relentlessly during the campaign period and to continue our vigilance until after they are elected."

Your going to cross the wrong line on a map in South central LA, you and your wife are going to surrounded by gang bangers with baseball bats and hammers and your going to think to your self, damn wheres Jmac and his buddies on H-talk and there guns
Good luck to you
Who are you talking to? Nobody on this thread has said they are in favor of banning all guns. Why can't you accept that?
Write that stuff to Feinstein or somebody, I'm tired of you not getting through your head that I am in favor of most guns, cops with any type of gun, home protection, hunting (even though it is not for me) and gun sports and competition. I just dont trust citizens pretending to do law enforcement around me and weapons being sold to the public that are specialized to kill large numbers of people. Got it?
I also dont like the way gun advocates will not give an inch of any type of gun (maybe for good reason because they what comes next) and they downplay the positive effects of any other solution other than more gun. They say if something does not completely solve the problem than it is not worth looking into. Well, sorry to break it to you, but more guns is not a cure-all either.

While it is a "may issue" state, making issue of a CCW permit an arbitrary thing, carrying a concealed weapon is NOT illegal in California.

He really hasn't researched the subject he's talking about.
As responsible gun owners, we need to keep educating the uninformed on what the facts are. Not that I have a problem with that. I'll do whatever is necessary.

I know that which is exactly why I pointed it out to him.
From the NRA meeting today:
Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended today's White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals.
We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be "prejudged," this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners - honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works - and what does not.
Don't forget to vote for Hillery
Replacing Air Force One with a broomstick would mean tens of millions of dollars in savings for the taxpayers!
Coincidence this happened today too?
Former presidents have to give up rides on Air Force One. But now they don't have to give up being shadowed by the armed-and-earpieced bodyguards of the Secret Service.
President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into a law a measure giving him, George W. Bush and future former presidents and their spouses lifetime Secret Service protection, the White House announced.
The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would have been the first former commander in chief affected.
At the time, lawmakers who supported the measure said it would save the government millions of dollars. They also argued that former presidents could hire private security firms (as Richard Nixon did after he decided to forgo Secret Service protection in 1985).
The bill had sailed through Congress with bipartisan supportit cleared the House of Representatives by voice vote in early December, and then it zipped through the Senate unopposed. The law also provides protection for former presidents kids until age 16. But protection of a spouse shall terminate in the event of remarriage.

I expect gun control will be the deciding factor on the relection of many in politics. This is a serious and deep issue. Historically those who heavily favor gun control do not get re-elected. Obama is not running again but many others in congress are. Their re-election depends on this one issue.

Agreed. Time for us all to join the NRA, re-up membership, or get as generous or vocal as able.. The NRA is the best voice for 2nd amendment supporters. There are many others, but the NRA is the big stick.

Foxglove Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Fresh and lively with aromatic notes of tropical fruit and pear, in a fleshy, medium bodied style, with obvious minerality and precision.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2010 Chardonnay is one of the top values in California wine. It possesses tons of ripe, varietal fruit in a style that is quite rich but not heavy. Clean citrus and floral notes add freshness on the long finish. Lees stirring gives the wine much of its richness, while aging in steel helps maintain freshness. There is remarkable depth and textural finesse here, never mind a price that is mind-boggling for this level of quality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014."
Foxglove Winery
At the core of Foxglove is Bob Varner, also the winemaker at Varner Wines. Beginning with their first vintage in 1991, Bob sources the wine from a variety of places, all of which are in Edna Valley. The resulting wine has Central Coast appellation pricing, and is full of complex fruit flavors that the Edna Valley appellation is known for.
Edna Valley, a relatively small appellation, grows mostly Chardonnay on about 1000 acres. The entire acreage is tightly controlled by a few owners employing the most up-to-date vineyard practices that give the valley impressive evenness. Located just south of San Luis Obispo, its vineyards are some of California's closest to the Pacific Ocean. Mild winters, cool, foggy summer, and clay-loam soils produce a combination of flavors that have been described as "textbook Central Coast." View all Foxglove Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

HoopsHype Robbie Hummel rumors
Wolves forward Robbie Hummel missed his 15th consecutive game Saturday because of a fractured hand. Saunders said he hoped Hummel would be playing by now and that doctors will take a further look at it this week. Saunders also said forward Anthony Bennett probably is two weeks away from returning from a sprained ankle. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Andy Greder: It's flu-like symptoms affecting the #Twolves players and coaches. Out: Coach Flip Saunders and Chase Budinger. Questionable: Robbie Hummel. Twitter @twolvesnow
Andy Greder: #Twolves forward Robbie Hummel is now out with an illness. Minnesota will have 10 healthy players. Twitter @twolvesnow
ric Pincus: Robbie Hummel will make $880k fully guaranteed with Timberwolves this season Twitter @EricPincus
The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has re-signed forward Robbie Hummel. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. "We are excited to have Robbie back with us this season," said Flip Saunders, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "He proved that he can be a key contributor off the bench and finished the season strong. Robbie's ability to stretch the floor with his shooting range is a valuable asset for our team." NBA.com

Jerry Zgoda: The Wolves released Othyus Jeffers & Lorenzo Brown today. That leaves Robbie Hummel, A.J. Price and Chris Johnson with one more cut to come. Twitter @JerryZgoda
Timberwolves brass has two choices when the final roster spots are filled before opening night, decisions that, barring a trade or free-agent signing, will force Flip Saunders and Rick Adelman to decide between veteran savvy and rookie potential. If it is life experiences they want, fifth-year guard A.J. Price has them and maybe then some. Price was invited to training camp partly because of his connection with new Wolves General Manager Milt Newton from the season they spent together in Washington a year ago, partly because of three seasons with the Pacers and one with the Wizards. And partly because of two transformational years in college when he went two seasons without basketball because of complicated brain surgery and his own decisions. At age 27, he is trying to stay in the NBA with an opportunity he admits was the only real one that didn't involve playing overseas. He is competing with fellow veteran Othyus Jeffers and rookies Lorenzo Brown and Robbie Hummel for the team's final two jobs because of what Adelman calls his professionalism and Price himself attributes to life's lessons learned. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Wolves today, as expected, officially announced they have signed prospects Robbie Hummel, Lorenzo Brown and Othyus Jeffers to their training-camp roster. All three played on the Wolves' Las Vegas summer-league team. Hummel and Brown are the team's former second-round picks, Hummel in 2012 and Brown in June. That brings the camp roster to 17 players. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Chase Budinger, Dante Cunningham, Ronny Turiaf, Shabazz Muhammad, Gorgui Dieng, Lorenzo Brown and Robbie Hummel were all on hand Friday and participating in a 5-on-5 scrimmage. The chance to come in early allows rookies like Muhammad, Dieng and Brown to get familiar with the facilities and some of the training regimens prior to Training Camp. For guys like Budinger and Cunningham, it's a way to get re-acquainted with the day-to-day grind. NBA.com

Posted by
For the last year I have been battling a deep depression. In the recent months I have started meds and have been coming out of my depression. Sadly, it effected my fiance badly. I was hurtful, distant.. I couldn't give him what he needed and wasn't able to listen to him when he said something was wrong. Before I started my meds his feelings for me had changed, he said he wasn't in love with me anymore, but still loved me. Since I started my meds, I have done a total 180 on how I am acting and feeling. I'm happy and loving and all I want to do is express it to him. He now finds it overwhelming because he is not used to it, and says I come on too strong. I told him that I have been letting out a years worth emotions and all I am trying to do is make up for what I put him through and show him how much I love him. He now has little panic attacks when I am "overwhelming" him. I personally thing he just needs to take time to get used to me this way, the real me. He has been battling for the last two weeks about ending things... 1. because he doesn't feel what he once felt and doesn't feel it will come back. 2. because he thinks that he will be sitting there waiting for the other shoe to drop and things will get bad again. I believe that with communication, patience, time and work, these wounds can be healed and we can be what we once were. Also, that he will fall in love again. I honestly believe with all my heart that we are supposed to be together, and I am trying everything I can to keep him from throwing away what we have based on the last year of depression. I know he doesn't blame me for what was wrong. But he resents the situation and resents the fact that it took medication to help me and that he couldn't. He is angry that I didn't seem them sooner... only after he was "on his way" out of the relationship. He had his mind made up months ago about us, then there was a death in the family and things changed for awhile. And the feelings of leaving me came back. He is afraid that those feelings will come back. He knows that we can have what we once had, but for how long? What do I do? We are currently on a break from "us" so he can have time to clear his mind and see what he wants. He said that he needs time away so he can find what he once felt and clear his mind... How do I show him that things can be fixed in time if we both work on them? I feel that he needs to be around me to see what I am like now and see how that makes him feel. Please help! I am desperate to fix my relationship.
