The controversy is more to do with the fact that there are claims that 'auto-tune' has been used whilst editing the show to make the auditionees who are put through by the judges sound better.
Which kind of goes against the whole point really doesn't it? It's meant to be all about finding a diamond in the rough but by 'polishing' performances so that each note is in tune afterwards means the viewer doesn't really know who's good and who's just had extra help in the editing studio.
As ever you can always count on mouthy Lily Allen to wade in with her opinion on the show. She took to Twitter saying, "X Factor FAIL. Too set up/scripted in my humble opinion... it's sh*t. FACT! It's everything that I detest about modern western culture. Cowell is the only one who really benefits. I don't know how Simon Cowell has managed to get away with essentially copywriting the talent contest. It's beyond me, really."
She continued, "I've better things to do with my time than feed the nation with the notion that doing cover versions will sort your life out. I'd rather actually eat my own crap than sit next to any of those goons. Except Cheryl, obvs."
What's your opinion on The X Factor? Are you still loving it or have you had enough of the whole concept now?

CS Source and GeForce GO 6800 Ultra
Please help me guys, anyone.
I have a Dell XPS M170 Gaming Laptop. It uses a GeForce Go 6800 Ultra as said above. I always play source on this machine with no problem at all, untill recently.
The problem is everytime I play CS:Source, the average fps I recieve is about 45 fps. Its weird because when I do the video stress test, it averages at 76.9 FPS.
To solve the problem I tried the following.
-Reinstalling Source
-Drivers (even though non are offered at Nvidia.com for GF Go)
-Changed resolution.
-Turned off Speed Step
-Plugged AC adapter
-Even Reformatted to have a clean comp.
Still I get sluggish quality, which makes no sense because I saved up so much for this super gaming computer and its giving me mediocre performance. It never used to do this before.
Please help me someone if you know the problem. Here are the specs for my computer.
Dell XPS M170
-Intel Pentium M 2.13GHz
-2.0 GB of Ram
-GeForce GO 6800 Ultra 256 MB

SMELLYBUG vs TARGETE/updated FEB 11
Bad ass Alien hunter or warrior.
I was thinking since we both love creatures and sorts what about we both do a design of a wicked space hunter like alien which could kick the predator and ALIEN ass. We could include prelimenary sketches etc and final design BW front and side view or as many views variations you want, and then put it in an action scene..hunting or whatever..fighting etc. The action scene should be in color any 2d medium you want digital or traditional. The goal is realism and a design that the best sculptors and 3D guys could use to model from.
This is no joke this shit needs to be bad ass.
keep the creature bipedal, you cannot use a past design or sculpture to help with the final image, absolutely no refrence whatsoever only your pure imagination and raw drawing and painting abilities.
Any questions please ask.

where has the magic gone??

This is gonna be good!
January 17th, 2004 #6
Thanks guys for the posts,
I'm getting tired of having this thread empty so I've decided to post some works in progress and some designs that I'm happy with but not quite there. This first one I liked enough to develop into a watercolor and oil piece.
These next two are watercolors, these are still to humanoid, but I like the colors.
More development..
I always like to use a diffrent process when using traditional medium. Here I started with an inked drawing..added watercolors and then lastly with oils. The final was about 8x10 inches. Cant wait to see Petey's stuff.

Hey J.P.
Thats the magic I was talking about. Love seeing how one of my heroes does a work up. Ill be coming back here to stare at these often. Thanks for showing me how its done right!
Peace & Respect
January 17th, 2004 #9
These are extraordinary!
I love the 2nd creature the most. One thing I'd suggest, is making him a little taller(it seems as though he's around 6 heads tall, and if he was closer to 8, imo he'd look cooler).
Can you please give us a link to a high res pic of the 5th pic. It's the second sketch.
I wanna make a print of it and have it by my comp. That is one great sketch!

Very nice work
January 18th, 2004 #13
Thanks everyone for your comments it encourages me to work harder and do art for myself which is what need more of.
Thanks so much buddy, and the feeling is mutual much respect. When I see your work I see the power and motion that alot of the legendary illustrators had like Bucema and Frazetta but ofcourse your style is your own.
tHANKS ALOT thats a great suggestion, though I was planning on making him a big boy in the final design about 7 to 8 feet high or bigger. I dont post high res of my stuff because of copyright issues many people will print this suff and try to make a buck, but I know thats not your intent. I'll do another book with more drawings and sketches and I'll defonately include this one..will that do for you IWASINK?
Yes I do digital paintings over my sketches all the time..where you been man Ive been posting that stuff all around CA.. he he here is a sample:
always nice of you to drop in and comment, glad your inspired it inspires me to here your comments. Never let go of traditional tools.
Thanks much appreciated.

All this week we've been bringing you the story of Fabienne Jean, a dancer who lost her leg in the earthquake in Haiti three years ago. A prosthetic technician from Boston helped Fabienne get a replacement leg.
He hoped to help her recover in other ways too: to start a business, buy a house and open up a dance studio.
But none of these things came to pass. Late spring, Fabienne was struggling to find money to take care of her bedridden mother and adopted daughter.
In the final installment of our series, Jacob Kushner tells us where she is now.
Below, you can see Fabienne rehearsing with other dancers at Haiti's National Theatre in December.
You can listen to the whole series below:
Have you been to Haiti since the earthquake? Tell us what you've seen. We'll be discussing Haiti's recovery this Friday on The Florida Roundup.

26 Tips for Managing a Social Media Community
Do you wonder how to go about exercising good social etiquette and managing your social networking communities, all at the same time?
Social media community management has expanded into a growing field and there's a lot to think about.
In this post, I'll cover 26 tips, an A-Z guide, on ways to manage your company's presence.
#1: Answer Questions
With more and more of your customers participating on social networking platforms, businesses need to be doing much more than posting their own updates. Companies must also be willing to answer questions.
A recent survey organized by InSites Consulting found that eight out of ten American companies answer client questions and complaints via social media. The survey shows that US companies are very successful in answering questions via social media: "83 percent of companies indicate they always deal with questions or complaints sent to them via social media. Still, only 54 percent of the companies in this survey also talk to and actively participate in online conversations with consumers."
What about your business? Are you answering or avoiding questions?
How to Build a Platform and Get Noticed in a Noisy World
In this video I interview Michael Hyatt, chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers and author of the hot new book called Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World.
Michael shares how to grow your own platform. You'll also discover insights behind his success and how to accelerate your business growth.

4 Ways to Create Content That Sells
Let me just cut to the chase here: When it comes to business blogging, there is content, and then there is content that sells.
Ask any business owner or marketer which they'd prefer and the obvious answer would be the latter.
The fact is, all the business blogging in the world doesn't help a bit if it's not increasing sales. Make no mistake—a business is a business and it needs to make money.
In this article I'll discuss 4 ways companies can create blog content to bring in more sales. Adapt the principles here to your industry or niche to get more business with your company's blog.
Here goes…
#1: Teach With Story and Sell With Subtleness
Of all the things I'm going to discuss in this article, teaching with story and selling with subtleness is really the most important. It's incredibly underutilized by businesses around the world.
7 Ways to Increase Your Blog Visibility With Social Sharing
Are you looking to drive more traffic to your blog content?
Social sharing is critical.
But how can you make your content as shareable as possible?
Follow this process, and consider the following 7 tips.
#1: Identify Your Most Popular Posts and Keywords
Take stock of your current content. What topics are already popular with your audience?
Look at your top content and keywords in Google Analytics. If you're using a social sharing plugin like Shareaholic or Digg Digg, you may be able to get some free analytics on your most popular content that can help you learn what your audience wants.
Examine what isn't getting shared and start to think about how you can replicate the success of the proven winners.
How Search, Social Media and Content Accelerate Your Business
Your customers get 99% of their information from search engines, social media referrals, online news sites and targeted content.
If your business is NOT there among the solutions when your customers are looking, you're lost.
And even if they do find you some other way, you will still lose if you don't have compelling content to keep them engaged with your brand.
And so you must publish, you must tell stories and you must become interesting to your customers so that they find, like and trust you.
In his book, Accelerate! Move Your Business Forward Through the Convergence of Search, Social & Content Marketing, Arnie Kuenn puts it simply:
"Web users are consumers of content and you need to deliver compelling content that will engage them, and keep them coming back for more."
This book is about successful digital publishing and consistent content quality. The author explains that if you do it right and strive for quality, you'll produce content that:
- Attracts links.
- Compels people to share it on social media.
- Meets the real needs of your customers.
3 Successful Google+ Pages and Why They Work
Have you created a Google+ page for your business? In this article I'll show you what three top pages are doing.
Still in its infancy, Google+ has become a very hot topic.
Amid concern that this "new kid on the block" couldn't compete in a social media landscape owned by Facebook, some have opted to dismiss the platform entirely.
While Google+ and Google+ business pages are still in the early stages, there is growing evidence that they're here to stay.
5 Tips for Creating Shareable Blog Content
Is your blog feeling a bit flat? Are you looking to attract more of the right kinds of people to your content?
If you struggle to attract a steady stream of quality readers to your blog, you're not alone. The good news is that your blog isn't a lost cause.
There are many smart strategies you can use to create compelling, bite-sized content your readers will devour—and share like crazy.
The secret is to tap into the power, speed and instant accessibility of social media. Here are 5 simple, foolproof ideas you can put into action TODAY:
How Content Marketing Builds Trusted Relationships
In this video I interview C.C. Chapman, co-author of Content Rules.
C.C. explains why content marketing is important for businesses and the role it plays in building trusted relationships. He also shares how businesses can create stories to connect with customers.

9 Reasons Why Your Content Is Not Shared on Social Networks: New Research
Do you wonder how to get your content seen amidst a sea of information?
What if you could understand why your audience shares some information and not other? That would make your content stand out from the competition.
The Science of Sharing
30 billion pieces of content are shared on Facebook each month, including blog posts, links, news stories and photo albums.
HubSpot's Dan Zarrella has found that three things must happen to get your content shared.
First, people must be exposed to your content (be a fan on Facebook or follow you on Twitter). Second, they must be aware of your content (meaning they actually see it). Finally, they must be motivated by something in your content to share it.
Many articles have been written on how to increase your audience size and make people aware of your content, including these by Mari Smith and Denise Wakeman. This article will focus on the motivations for sharing.

Celiac disease may reduce risk for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer?
By David Liu, PHD
Wednesday Sept 12, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- A new study in International Journal of Cancer suggests that having celiac disease may reduce women's risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.
Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue and gluten intolerance, is an immune disease in which people can't eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley because it can damage their small intestine. Gluten may be found also in products such as vitamin and nutrient supplements, lip balms, and some medicines.
Jonas F. Ludvigsson of Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden and colleagues conducted the study and found women with celiac disease were 15 percent, 40 percent and 11 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, endometrial and ovarian cancer, respectively, compared with those who did not have the health condition.
The study was based on data from 17,852 women with celaic disease diagnosed and confimed by biopsy between 1969 and 2007 at all 28 pathology departments in Sweden and 88,400 age- and sex-matched controls who did not have the disease.
The association between celiac disease, and breast cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer is possible because women with celiac disease may be at decreased levels of female hormones that otherwise promote female reproductive cancers.
After exclusion of the first year of follow-up beyond celiac disease diagnosis, women with celiac disease are at 18, 42 and 28 percent reduced risk for breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, respectively, compared with controls.
The researchers concluded "In conclusion, CD seems to be inversely related not only to breast cancer but also to endometrial and ovarian cancer. Potential explanations include shared risk factors and early menopause."
Breast cancer is expected in 230,000 American women in 2012 and the disease will kill about 40,000 women in the U.S. in 2012. In the same year in the U.S., ovarian cancer is expected to be diagnosed in 22,280 and 15,500 will die from the disease and its complications and endometrial cancer will be diagnosed in 47,130 women and 8,010 will die from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.

11 October 2013 16:58 [Source: ICIS news]
WASHINGTON (ICIS)--Global economies face a new frontier of risks over the next 10 years, and worldwide financial crises likely will become more probable and larger, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde said on Friday.
Speaking to a joint meeting of the IMF and the World Bank, Lagarde said that long-term frontier risks will confront the 188 member nations of the fund.
"Over the next generation, the rate and reach of change is likely to be even greater than before," she said.
Lagarde identified three main areas of global change that will confront national policymakers and government planners.
First, she said that the world's economy - long dominated by industrialised countries in the West - will become more "multipolar".
"In the next decade, the share of emerging and developing economies in global GDP will increase from about half to nearly two-thirds," she said, "setting the stage for a world where economic power will be far more dispersed across all regions."
Second, the global economy will become even more interlinked financially, a process that poses more risks as well as benefits, she said.
"As emerging and developing countries grow and converge, their financial interconnections will become deeper and more complex," Lagarde said. That deeper integration, she added, "will fuel growth, but it will not be without risk".
"Experience teaches us a vital lesson: greater financial integration raises the probability and size of financial crises," she said.
Lastly, the IMF managing director said that "new frontiers of risk" will flow from key long-term trends.
"Demographic shifts, income inequality and environmental sustainability will affect growth and stability," she said.
Lagarde said it was important that the IMF and World Bank cooperate more effectively with other institutions to help confront and manage new risks facing the global economy.
The IMF was established in the closing days of World War II to promote international monetary cooperation and stability, foster economic growth and employment and to provide financial assistance to countries to help ease balance of payments problems.
Under its multinational mandate, the IMF periodically reviews the economic conditions and stability of its 188 member countries and major trading regions, and it frequently offers overall global outlooks and forecasts.

She definitely cannot boast of a filmy bloodline. Zarine Khan cannot help but admit of her modest background, troubled teens and obese days. But there's a strange grit that comes across when you speak to her. "I am the only earning member of my family. This job that feeds my family (mom Parveen and sister Sana). I always admit that I come from a modest background. That is why Salman says that I am destiny's child."
She admits that the root cause of her teenage jolt is slightly scandalous — her dad walked out on her mom when she was just 18 years old. "It was a tough moment for me. When he walked out, I was 18 years old. I had been staring at a crisis but I faced that situation bravely. I would appreciate if you don't ask me about my dad, not even his name," she says. The toll of the break-up was so heavy that Zarine took to binging. "The stress, the tension was so much that I ended up binging. There was a point in time when I used to weigh 100 kilos. I used to be obese," she adds. But instead of giving up, Zarine decided to turn back and give life another shot — she hit the gym with a vengeance, knocked off the flab, dolled herself up and started modeling. Her fate too was just waiting for that. "After I lost weight, I started getting work. One day, I went to meet Subhash Ghai when he was shooting scenes of Yuvvraaj with Salman Khan. I went up to Salman for his autograph. He took my autograph book, looked at me and said, 'Don't take my autograph. One day, you will be signing autographs for the world'. I didn't understand. A few days later, I was told that I am his heroine," Zarine says in a single breath. Today, Zarine says, that both her parents are proud of her.

Sales (New)
"We dealt with Don Miller downtown and on the West Side in..."
We dealt with Don Miller downtown and on the West Side in the past, and I was never disappointed with sales OR service. Our latest experience at East bears this out as well. We bought a new car even though we were trying to go another year with our old one! After spending 8 hours between sales and service, having some value-added tweaks done at our own request, I feel like these guys are there to make the car buying and service experiences as seamless as possible. It was surreal for a few days - we had trouble absorbing all of what transpired. They were universally patient and forthcoming with advice and answers to questions. There were even unexpected happy surprises along the way. Subaru is the best car on the road, and buying one at East is the best experience possible. Simple beginning service was done efficiently. Our portable satellite radio was installed with the wiring under the console so it would be out of sight and not in the way at no additional charge. Jim spent a lot of time with us, showing us the new features of the 2013 Outback, some of which we were not aware of, since we were hoping to buy or lease a 2012 model and had researched only that vintage. Overall, no complaints. I look forward to my next visit to Don Miller. These are real people, not fake sales guys who paste on a happy face over their usual cynical ones. They really believe in the cars that they are selling and servicing, and it shows.More

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - Consumer studies show more and more dads are doing the Christmas shopping this holiday season so toymakers like Mattel are making big changes to Barbie.
Mattel is releasing Barbie sets that are less gender specific.
One is the "Mega Blocks" Barbie garage.
Unlike pre-assembled pink Barbie mansions of the past, the new focus is on interaction between fathers and daughters. Dads and daughters can actually build the new "Mega Blocks" sets together.
It's a trend Cindy Murdoch at Spicer's Toys and Candy has noticed in recent years.
"It used to be moms and grandmothers did all of the Christmas shopping, not anymore," Murdoch said.
To listen to more of Murdoch's take on this new phenomenon, click on the video player on this page.
