Bajaj Discover 125 ST – Review
In recent years, Bajaj has spawn out lots of variants of Pulsar and Discover. Though many are successful its little confusing for the end customers. Thats'y every Bajaj dealer has tough job in explaining each motorcycles to customers. Discover ST may lookalike current gen discover 100cc, 125cc and 150cc but its unique. Its a next gen bike made to keep the Bajaj successful in the commuter segment marathon for the next decade. Honda push of Dream Yuga and CB Twister has made the Hero nervous but the immediate threat is for the Bajaj as Honda is inching closer to the second positioned Bajaj in terms of market share. Can the Discover 125 ST bulldoze the new threats and upoming 125cc motorcycles during the next few years. We check it out
Unlike the pulsar 200NS which is radically different from its predecessors, Discover 125 ST is not revolutionary. Its evolved over the current gen discover series. Going by the Bajaj standards, we expected a better one on the likes of Pulsar 135ls or the Pulsar 200NS. The discover 125ST is mediocre and may not attract much eyeballs. Discover ST retains the typical discover styling which we have seen over the years. Blackened cowl and pilot lamps on both sides of elegant headlamp. Stylish alloys,exposed chain and silver garnish provides much needed oomph to the side profile of discover ST. The rear is simple with usual tyre hugger, full grab rail and led tail lamp (single strip).
Bajaj discover features an 125cc engine pumping out 12.8bhp of peak power at 9000rpm and 10.78Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm. It is marginally higher to current gen discover 125cc. Yet what makes the discover 125ST truly next gen is the newer technologies it carries. It borrows the 4-valve design from its elder sibling pulsar 135Ns and CV type carburetor for better performance. The fuel cock made of a paper filter prevents fuel contamination. Pent roof combustion chamber and exhaust-tec also makes the Discover 125 ST hi-tech. 1-down 4-up gear box is mated with this power mill. Out on the road, clutch and efficiently spaced gear ratios makes the discover st drive a breeze on the road. Power deliver is linear and refined. With a top speed of little over 100kmph. Bajaj has armed Discover ST to its best to knockdown its peers.
Ride and Handling
Surprisingly, Discover ST runs on TVS tyre. It sports disc brake at the front and drum brake at the rear. Discover ST features the telescopic fork suspension at the right. Come to the rear, Bajaj surprises you with the first-in-class nitrox filled monoshock suspension and engine as stressed member. The monoshock suspension at the rear lowers the centre of gravity and offers greater stability even at higher speeds. Result, discover st is more nimble than ever.
Paint quality is excellent. Fit and finish is top notch. Yet plastic and rubber quality could have been better.
Instrumentation is simple as well with analogue speedometer, odometer, trip-counter and fuel gauge. Discover ST also features multi-spoke alloy wheel, led tail light and exposed chain.
Colours and Variants
Discover ST is available in four colours – blue,red, blue-black and red-black.As of now, discover ST comes in a single variant. In coming days, discover ST may come low spec variants with attractive price tag.
Discover ST has no non-sense styling, spirited engine and excellent ride and handling as well. It is priced well too. With little over Rs.62,000 (on-road price, Chennai). Bajaj is sure to enhance the discover ST with new features like digital in future variants. With everything set well, Bajaj has a winner in its hands. But when look over the price list again, i could hardly resist Pulsar 135NS which is only Rs3000 higher than Discover 125 ST. Really, Bajaj faces a problem of too many!

- Curtis Macomber (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
Three works for solo instruments and orchestra by Laura Schwendinger are presented in world premiere recordings. Esprimere for cello and orchestra was written in 2007 for Matt Haimovitz and premiered by him. Curtis Macomber is the soloist for Charoscuro Azzurro for violin and chamber orchestra and Waking Dream, a single movement work for flute and chamber orchestra was written for flutist Christina Jennings, who gave the premiere. The first composer to win the American Academy in Berlin Prize Fellowship, Laura Schwendinger is on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin Madison and directs their contemporary chamber ensemble. The recipient of numerous prizes, awards and commissions, Ms. Schwendinger's music has been performed by leading ensembles and artists of our time. The three soloists, all virtuosos of international acclaim, give stunning performances of this music of infinite beauty.
American Record Guide, May/June 2013
There is some exceptionally fine music here. I consider Schwendinger's concertos the work of a significant contemporary composer getting a much deserved "break-out" recording. And what a recording it is! Cellist Matt Haimovitz is almost superhuman. They, and the excellent orchestras and conductors, along with Albany's vivid and detailed sonics, together offer an ideal presentation of these very demanding works. Anyone who cares about the music of our time should hear them and judge Schwendinger's accomplishment for himself.

Bahram Gur and Azadeh
The lyrical paintings of this poetic cycle depict love stories from the classic works of celebrated Iranian poets, biblical and Qur'anic episodes, and hunting vignettes. Collectively, they are valuable documents of the original architectural formats and narrative programs of eighteenth-century domestic interiors. Such works were viewed as visual complements for poetry that the host, his guests, or storytellers would recite to entertain each other at convivial gatherings in intimate settings. Although the compositions of these works are derived from manuscript painting, their treatment differs considerably: the scale of the figures in relation to the background is larger, while the number of figures and degree of ornamental patterning is reduced.

Bishop of Jerusalem shares concerns on gravity of situation in Gaza

Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem shares his concerns on the gravity of the situation in Gaza
(Excerpts from his statements)
Jerusalem December, 29, 2008 – During recent weeks, the three Abrahamic Faiths have observed their Holy Seasons with a sense of peace and goodwill. Therefore, we are greatly grieved bythe severity of the ongoing military operations in Gaza that are occurring inheavily populated areas and impacting the civilian populations.
As a Diocese with well over a century of an unbroken commitment to the well being and peace of the community in Gaza City through our Al Ahli Arab Hospital, we are both stunned and saddned by the events of unfolding in Gaza.
The heavy Loss of Palestinian lives and the serious wounds and injuriesto many hundreds of innocent bystanders require the immediate cessation of hostilities for the weoll being and safety of both the Palestinian and Isreali communities, and especially for Gaza and the nearby Isreali population centers. The gravity of the situation threatens to engulf this entire region and we ask the Palestinians and Israelis to return to active negotiations for the well being and safety of both communities.
Of immediate concern is the urgent medical services by the victims of this violence. The Immensity of providing care for the injured and wounded is overwhelming a health care system struggling to orovide essential healthcare services for 1.5 million Palestinians, most of who live in refugee camps.
As casualties and human suffering continue to rise we appeal to the Israeli and Palestinian communities to exercise responsible retraint. We urgently call on all parties to immediately cease hostilities, and provide for the humanitarian needs of those who directly affected by the conflict. At the same time, can assure the Gaza communities that the Al Ahli Hospital will continue, as it has for many decades.
Jerusalem, January 7th 2009- At a time when great tragedy is occurring in the Holy Land in Gaza…Our hospital is one of 11 hospitals serving a population of 1.5 million residents in the Gaza strip. The Al Ahli Arab (Anglican) Hospital has been in operation for over a 100 years and has a very dedicated medical staff of medical doctors, nurses and general services personnel.
…The Conflict has brought new type of medical and surgical conditions. For example patients with burns and acute crippling psychological trauma are being seen more frequently. Because it isnot possible for aid workers to enter Gaza at this time, the hospital's staff is working around the clock, struggling with the effects of exhaustion andagianst limited resources in a conflicted area of ongoing military operations.
Medical items are needed, especially bandanges and supplied for burns and trauma. The hospital's windows have all been blown out of shattered from rocket and missile concussions and cold permeates the entire premises…Food supplies are scant throughout the Gaza Strip and maintaining patients' nutritional needs at the hospital has been difficult, especially for the most vulnerable…Through the ICRC limited amounts of diesel fuel are being delivered to keep the electricalgenerators functional for life saving and other essential equipment…
On a 'normal' day approximately 600 life line trucks a day bring supplies to the Gaza strip.Many are under the auspices of the UNRWA and international relief agencies because about two thirds of Gaza's residents are refugees and living in UNRWA Camps. During this timeof conflict, that number of trucks is not seen in a week or more. Because of the reduced deliveries, medical items, nutritional food, and other basic supplies are now scarce items, if available at all,for our brothers andsisters in Gaza.
I ask you to join with me in prayer… for our hospital and heroic Staff of the AlAhli Hospital and other such humanitarian endeavors. Thankfully the Hospital plant remains intact at this time. While several among our Staff have suffered loss and injuries within their own families, they are representing allof us as a witness of God's love to all people- 'Come unto me all you who are heavy laden and I will refresh you'. As we continue to pray for communical Palestinians and Israeli Peace, we especially remember these dedicated individuals who cannot leave, but most importantly do not want to leave, but continue to do all they can to help.
Our Lord's imperative in St John's Gospel during this Epiphany season gives each of us the new hope for a new dawn of light, life and communal conciiiation- 'I have come that you may have Life and have it abundantly'.

Al Azhar, Al Sharif and Presiding Bishop of Jerusalem and Middle East condemn Israeli attacks on Gaza
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Al Azhar, Al Sharif and President Bishop of Jerusalem and Middle East Bishop Mouneer Anis, the Anglican Bishop in Egypt, condemn Israeli attacks on Gaza:
We severely condemn the Israeli attacks on Gaza which have resulted in a real humanitarian disaster. The innocent children,women and elderly people pay a heavy price in this disaster. We call upon the whole international community to put an end to these cruel attacks that have resulted in the loss of many. Such attacks stir the emotions of the whole world. We appeal to conscience of the international community to move swiftly to find a comprehensive and just solution that will guarantee peace in this region. We also warn that failure to find this justifiable solution, which would provide stability for the Palestinians, will threaten the stability and the security of the whole world.
We praise the efforts of governmental and non governmental organizations who are responding to the needs of the Palestinian people of Gaza, especially the Egyptian Red Cross and the El Ahly Hospital in Gaza, which is part of the Episcopal/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. We encourage all organizations to increase their humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza.
Archbishop of Canterbury's statement on Gaza: An urgent appeal on Gaza's current situation
Wednesday 31 December 2008
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has made the following statement regarding the current situation in Gaza:
The spiralling violence in Gaza tragically illustrates the fact that the cycle of mutual threat and retaliation have no lasting effect except to reinforce the misery and insecurity of everyone in the region. I want to express my grief and sympathy for the innocent lives lost in this latest phase of violence. People of all faiths in this country will want to join their voices to the statements of the Christian Muslim Forum and the Council of Christians and Jews in urging a return to the ceasefire and efforts to secure a lasting peace. We must unite in urging all those who have the power to halt this spiral of violence to do so.
Those raising the stakes through the continuation of indiscriminate violence seem to have forgotten nothing and learned nothing. It must surely be clear that, whilst peace will not wipe out the memory of all past wrongs, it is the only basis for the future flourishing of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. The recent statement by the Patriarchs and Heads of Church in Jerusalem reflects a clear awareness that there can be no winners if the current situation is allowed to persist. Its continuation can only condemn ordinary Palestinian and Israeli citizens to the prospect of another year of fear and suffering.
Urgent humanitarian needs have arisen through the attacks on Gaza and Israel and they demand a generous response to local appeals for support, such as that issued by the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem for its hospital in Gaza. But this humanitarian response, both local and international, needs to be matched by redoubled efforts in the political sphere.
The prophet Zechariah declared, "Not by might and not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord of Hosts". The New Year is an opportunity for a new initiative that will set the tone for what lies ahead. Religious leaders, most particularly those of the region, have an urgent responsibility in supporting the search for peace and reconciliation. But it is the political leaders and opinion-formers who hold the key to implementing the necessary changes that can bring hope. Can they not agree a period of truce as the New Year begins, so that the communities of the Holy Land may once again explore how common security might at last begin to replace the mechanical rhythms of mutual threat? Might the outgoing and incoming Presidents of the USA combine to make such an appeal and pursue its implementation?
The Anglican Communion worldwide stands alongside other religious communities and humanitarian organisations in its commitment to supporting any such initiative. Without such a sign of hope, the future for the Holy Land and the whole region is one of more fear, innocent suffering and destruction.

Aaron Sorkin on 'The View': 'The Social Network,' Facebook and showers
Aaron Sorkin revealed some of the secrets to his writing process on "The View" Wednesday (Sept. 29).
Sadly, they're not in the video clip above. It shows only the portion of his guest appearance where he talks about "The Social Network," the movie about the founding of Facebook which he wrote ( David Fincher directed) and which opens Friday.
Among the writing secrets: multiple showers every day. Sorkin insists that he's not a germophobe, but he often takes "six to eight" showers in a day as a way to help jump-start his writing. He told Barbara Walters and Co. that because he can no longer rip a piece of paper out of his typewriter and crumple it up, he uses the shower as a way to hit his mental reset button.

|Reminiscent of the classic blues album Folksinger by Muddy Waters, Blues Singer is pure blues from one of the most gifted living musicians. Buddy Guy takes this opportunity to interpret some classic blues songs from artists like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Skip James and Jack Owens. Eric Clapton and B.B.

Blues Singer comes on the heels of Buddy's most critically acclaimed CD to date, Sweet Tea (2001).

|Going beyond the stripped-down arrangements of 2001's SWEET TEA, Buddy Guy picks up an acoustic guitar to cut a record that comes across as an off-the-cuff homage to mentor Muddy Waters, whose similar 1963 outing FOLK SINGER featured Guy's guitar work. From the minute this Mississippi native affects a falsetto on Skip James's "Hard Time Killing Floor," neck hairs remain standing on end for the better part of BLUES SINGER.
|The remainder of these dozen carefully selected tracks find the blues legend rifling through the canons of favorites like Robert Nighthawk (a loping "Anna Lee"), Willie Dixon (the brash "I Live the Life I Love"), and Johnny Shines (a spirited "Moanin' and Groanin'"). Eric Clapton joins in for a tasty take on Frankie Sims' "Lucy Mae Blues" and B.B. King makes three for an acoustic blues summit on John Lee Hooker's seminal "Crawlin' Kingsnake." Though far from the raucous outings fans have come to expect, this collection of acoustic blues is a creative success and yet another stellar addition to Guy's already impressive discography.

Modern Residence with Surprising and Daring Interiors in Belgium
This diverse and enchanting home comes from AABE and is located in Belgium. It measures 800 square meters and reaches six meters in hight. Here is more information from the architects: " [This is a] residence based on two rings: a vertical ring ensures the connection between the levels, a horizontal ring includes the earth pressure at the rear and forms the interface between the main part and the rooms on the first floor. Everything is designed so as not to have to reveal the intimacy of the premises to passers-by, in this way, only a small section of the South facing garden is reserved to welcoming visitors and the entrance to the garage. To the right, the site climbs. Steps lead you to two levels in the area bathed in light … the upper garden." What we absolutely love about it is its captivating interior design. The stylish black, white and red color palette is a good starting point for quite a few spectacular contrasts all throughout the residence. Contemporary furniture with dramatic and unexpected shapes, floor to ceiling windows, tasteful art decorations…would we be wrong to say this home has it all?
5 comments
I like the colour contrasts (red armchair, red photo, pink carpet aso.) but otherwise it is pretty boring to me. I really can't imagine it for family living. With it's austere and minimalistic design it reminds me half equipped administrative building. The garden, on the other hand, is a place for serene meditation.
wonderful house — like the clearness
nothing else more wonderful
I love how the artwork in some of these homes say so much about the owners… a naked chick on a horse… lol.
just love the straight lines…..very neat

Subjects will be dosed with study agent on Days 0, 14, 28, and then every 28 days through 48 weeks, with a final evaluation at Week 52 (4 weeks after the last dose).
Study agent will be administered iV over 1 hour. Subjects will remain under clinical supervision for 3 hours after completion of the first 2 infusions during the 52-week double-blind phase and 6-month open-label extension.
all subjects will continue the stable standard therapy they were receiving during the screening period.
Subjects who complete dosing up to 48 weeks will return for a Day 364/Week 52 (final evaluation) visit.
Subjects who successfully complete the initial 52 week double-blind phase may enter into a 6-month open-label extension. The Day 364/Week 52 visit will serve as the Day 0 visit for subjects entering the 6-month open-label extension. Subjects on active drug or placebo will receive belimumab 10 mg/kg iV every 28 days for 6 months in the open-label extension. The 1st dose on the 6-month open-label extension will be given on Day 364 (Week 52) of the double-blind treatment phase following the completion of all Day 364 (Week 52) assessments.
Subjects participating in the 6-month open-label extension will continue to be monitored for safety and more latitude will be permitted for background medication changes.
Subjects who complete the 52-week double-blind phase, but do not enter the 6-month open-label extension will be required to return for an additional follow up visit 8 weeks after the last dose of study agent.
Subjects who withdraw early will be required to return for an exit visit (4 weeks after the last dose of study agent) and a follow-up visit approximately 8 weeks after their last dose of study agent
in the event that a subject discontinues study agent at any time during the study or withdraws consent, an attempt will be made to ascertain survival status approximately 52 weeks after the first dose of study agent.
at the end of the 6-month open-label period, subjects who wish to continue treatment may do so by being prescribed commercially available product. if belimumab is not commercially available in a subject's country of participation, subjects may continue to receive belimumab under a separate continuation protocol. a separate informed consent will need to be provided for the continuation protocol.
Primary efficacy endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint is the systemic lupus erythematosus responder index (SRi) at
Week 52.
a SRi response is defined as:
* [GreaterThanorequalTo] 4 point reduction from baseline in SeLena SLeDai score, anD
* no worsening (increase of [Less Than] 0.30 points from baseline) in Physician's Global assessment(PGa),anD
* no new BiLaG a organ domain score or 2 new BiLaG B organ domain scores compared with baseline at the time of assessment (ie, at Week 52).
Secondary efficacy endpoints
The major secondary efficacy endpoints include:
1. Time to first severe flare (as measured by the modified SLe Flare index).
2. Percent of subjects whose average prednisone dose has been reduced by [GreaterThanorequalTo] 25% from baseline to [LessThanorequalTo] 7.5 mg/day during Weeks 40 through 52, in subjects receiving greater than 7.5 mg/day at baseline
Participant Eligibility
Subjects enrolled in the study must meet the following inclusion criteria:
1. Are at least 18 years of age.
2. Are self-identified black race.
3. Have a clinical diagnosis of SLE according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria
4. Have active SLE disease defined as a SELENA SLEDAI score >= 8 at screening
5. Have unequivocally positive autoantibody test results defined as an ANA titer >= 1:80 and/or a positive anti-dsDNA (>= 30 IU/mL) serum antibody test from 2 independent time points as follows:
* Positive test results from 2 independent time points within the study screening period. Screening results must be based on the study[Single Quote]s central laboratory results.
* One positive historical test result and 1 positive test result during the screening period.
- Historical documentation of a positive test of ANA (eg, ANA by HEp-2 titer ) or anti-dsDNA (eg, anti-dsDNA by Farr assay) must include the date and type of the test, the name of the testing laboratory, numerical reference range, and a key that explains values provided as positive vs negative OR negative, equivocal/borderline positive). Only unequivocally positive values as defined in the laboratory[Single Quote]s reference range are acceptable; borderline values will not be accepted.
6. Are on a stable SLE treatment regimen consisting of any of the following medications (alone or in combination) for a period of at least 30 days prior to Day 0 (ie, day of 1st dose of study agent)
* Corticosteroids (prednisone or prednisone equivalent, up to 40 mg/day):
- For subjects on SLE combination therapy, their stable steroid dose must be fixed within the range of 0 to 40 mg/day (prednisone or prednisone equivalent).
- For subjects whose only SLE treatment is steroids, their stable steroid dose must be fixed within the range of 7.5 to 40 mg/day (prednisone or prednisone equivalent).
- For those subjects on alternating day doses of steroids, use the average of 2 daily doses to calculate the average daily steroid dose.
* Other immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents including methotrexate, azathioprine, leflunomide, mycophenolate (including mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolate mofetil hydrochloride, and mycophenolate sodium), calcineurin inhibitors (eg, tacrolimus, cyclosporine), sirolimus, oral cyclophosphamide, 6- mercaptopurine, mizoribine, or thalidomide.

A TRAWL through two ancient texts written almost a thousand years ago has unearthed a link between sunspots and an aurora sighted at roughly the same time on opposite sides of the Earth. The link shows that solar activity hit a peak in 1128, and lends credence to the observations of medieval astronomers.
Richard Stephenson, a physicist from the University of Durham, noticed a picture of sunspots in
Hearing about Stephenson's discovery, a solar physicist from the University of Warwick, David Willis, then went in search of any reports of the Northern Lights from that time. Such displays of the aurora borealis often ...

I mean, I don't even know where to begin with this story. It completely shocked me. It has to do with my place of employment and what one of my fellow employees is having to deal with right now. This woman who I have worked with countless times, even on night shift, was diagnosed with a giant brain tumor covering half the side of her brain. She was having trouble moving one whole side of her body, and a CAT scan revealed what was something that nobody ever wants to hear. A big, giant brain tumor. I can say I know how she feels, given I had a brain tumor and subsequent treatment, but I did not have a brain tumor anywhere near that size. She is an older woman, in her mid 50s I assume, although she never directly told me how old she was. She was one of the nicest people there, and my heart aches for her in so many ways. This is yet another example that we never know what is going to happen to us until it actually happens.
I haven't spoken with her yet, but I can imagine she is in shock. Her husband supposedly came into the store yesterday and informed our store manager that she has this tumor and will not be coming back. Thinking about this brings my eyes to tears because I know what it feels like to worry about what is going to happen to you when going through a serious illness that could ultimately kill you. I, of course, didn't have as severe a problem that she does, due to the size and effects of her tumor, but I certainly can empathize with how she must feel. Out of everyone that works at my place of employment, I feel that I know the most what she is going through. And I sure hope she fights that damn thing until it is eradicated. And if she fails, she fails. But fighting this battle is worth it, no matter the result.
Beating cancer or a tumor is something that survivors can share with other cancer patients. The fact that we have beaten this terrible disease and lived to talk about it is a wonder in itself. Not all cancers are as serious as brain cancer, but cancer in itself is a pathological being. It ravages our healthy cells and grows and grows until we can stop it. The only advantage to having a brain cancer is the fact that unless it gets into the spinal fluid, there is absolutely no chance it can get into the body. However, body cancer can get into the brain. So, it would seem that at least in her case, the situation is contained, most likely. I don't know all the details, but the outlook is probably not as optimistic as it was for myself. Although my cancer was almost inoperable, we found a surgeon who could operate so deep into the brain and could at least find out what it was. I'm sure it will be easier to operate on this woman's tumor, but it will be much harder to repair the damage caused already. I don't really know what to say about this to her, except I want her to fight and do whatever it takes to survive. You'll learn how strong you are and how even something this serious won't get you down. But I truly don't know how serious it is as of yet, other than the fact that it is covering one side of the brain and is affecting her nervous system.
I guess this is a lesson in the uncertainty of life and how you can be struck with something life-altering at any moment. I know that from experience. I just believe that those who can survive will survive and those who cannot bear their disease will ultimately die. It all comes down to acceptance of your situation and deciding whether or not you wish to fight the good fight or give up. Someone of my age at the time of my tumor (16), had every right to believe this would not be my undoing. I knew I would make it out of this a stronger and better person. But someone in their later years, who has lived a good life and has enjoyed good experiences and think that they don't want to know what their life will be like after the good fight may end up just giving up. It is truly up to the individual. The result may differ, but choosing to fight or give up is something that very well may affect our results in a profound way. Even in failure, at least we tried our best.
I was determined to rid my body of this tumor. I hope that my co-worker has the same determination I had when faced with something that could have ultimately killed me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Best of luck to you.

Let's take a look at the packaging of this product:
A load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of useful power transferred. On the belly of the beast we get a clear indication of all the specifications, a bit overwhelming for some. So I am going to break it down as simple as possible.
The thunder consists of a single 12v rail which offers ample and sturdy power consistency for you precious rig. The thunder is a light weight, small design makes it light and is a good factor to keep into consideration when you have to lug your pc to LANs. A 120mm smart controlled fan is installed to ensure quietness and efficient cooling under load and on idle.
So we've learnt that the more efficient the power supply the better, which the Thunder is. We see it is ideal for the average gamer that has a mid end gaming computer with a single graphics card system, a couple of hard drives. Overall this is a power supply to take into consideration when you are upgrading and do not plan to run more than one graphics card in the future.
Once again Cooler Master has proven to provide an amazing product that will get the gamers going into a frenzy.

After 14 years Mike Shula is getting another chance to run an NFL offense. The Panthers named Shula as their new offensive coordinator Friday and promoted two other assistant coaches. Richard Rodgers was named Carolina's special teams coordinator after taking over that role on an interim basis last season and Ricky Proehl was promoted as the Panthers new wide receivers coach after working as an assistant in 2012. Shula served as the team's quarterbacks coach the last two seasons. The Panthers chose to hire from within after interviewing candidates from outside the organization. ''After going through the interview process we feel that Mike's familiarity with our offense and personnel lends itself to the offensive coordinator position,'' coach Ron Rivera said. ''He has the experience and knowledge to step in and provide continuity in an area that has been productive over the past two years.'' Shula takes over for Rob Chudzinski, who left to become the Cleveland Browns' head coac...

TUESDAY - December 6, 2011
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court yesterday Senior United State District Judge W. Earl Britt sentenced PERRY RASHAWN WILKINS, 22, to 166 months' imprisonment followed by five years' supervised release. The Court also ordered WILKINS to pay restitution of $1,360.00.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on March 10, 2011. On May 31, 2011, WILKINS pled guilty to Hobbs Act robbery, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1951 and using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 924.
According to the Criminal Indictment, on September 25, 2010, WILKINS, who is from Farmville, North Carolina, along with co-defendant Joseph Christopher Boyden, robbed, with a sawed off rifle, the Landmark Pick-Up Grocery Store on East Fifth Street in Greenville, North Carolina, of approximately $600. This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
On September 6, 2011, Boyden pled guilty to two counts of Hobbs Act robbery and two counts of using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Boyden's sentencing is currently set for January 3, 2012.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Greenville Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney John Bennett served as prosecutor for the government.

Welcome to localartist.org.uk. The purpose of this site is to enable artists of all levels to showcase their work in an environment that encourages them to contribute good quality material that otherwise would remain beyond view in private collections, often never seeing the light of day.
We are based in the United Kingdom, and although the central focus of the material is UK-based, we will be welcoming submissions from all over the world.
The ability to paint negative space is a useful qualification to possess. In watercolour, the background of, for instance, a floral display may be painted in colours that complement or enhance the subject, (the flowers) first. As the artist approaches the central focus they may be left blank or masked off with fluid, and the background layers built upon to form impressions of more foliage. The stems to be left the original colour applied and the negative space around them painted in a deeper hue to highlight them. White flowers benefit from this technique as they only need be shaded in the relevant places. The whole composition is formed by using negative space and leaving the white of the subject to be seen against it. The use of negative space around other subjects applies in a similar way but with more emphasis on the subject matter. The placing of objects against an uninteresting background brings the viewer to focus on the subject but in a much more interesting way if the negative space has been given proper thought. We ignore negative space at our peril.
by Barbara Le Blanc
There is a temptation amongst beginners to describe a painting as having made use of one medium in its creation when, in fact there are more than one. The finished work should be described as a mixed media product. If graphite (pencil) is used it not purely a watercolour painting. If body paint is included to add white for instance, it should be included in the description. Many artists use acrylic paints to fill in the blocks of paint before finishing with oils. This can hardly be described simply as an oil painting. Waterproof pens add detail and depth to watercolour depictions and should be described as line and wash or wash and line, depending on which was used first.
One dimension that adds depth to watercolour painting is the amount of pigment on the brush. New artists to this medium are often afraid of adding much pigment in case the finished product is too heavy but that can be a mistake. Although watercolours are noted for heir airy quality, the omission of enough pigment results in a thin wash, and because the drying process allows the paint to fade, the end product is washed out and without the required depth for the painting to work.
The study of the works of JMW Turner reveals that applying slightly heavier washes give better results and that is all the proof I need.
Most of us have a particular view taken whilst on holiday that we treasure for some reason. The sunrise over the sea, the lights over the mountains from a setting sun or people we met from far afield. Lots of us have cameras ready to record places visited and experiences that will stay with us. But artists have an additional skill that can record these things with extra feeling.
Trying to take in a view in front of us is pretty overwhelming: what dimensions to use, (how big); what to include (that tree's too big); Can I move something I don't like in that position? Questions present themselves before we even start. Holding up a mount of a holdable size helps us to enclose the view and focuses the mind on which part of the area to include. Taking a photograph of various angles enables us to see the view from its best perspective. Don't include everything in front of you. It isn't necessary nor is it practical. Paintings have to include only what is necessary to be interesting and to create the right mood.
No current events.

If this was late last year, I have a feeling that this shot would have gone in. However, the honeymoon is over for Jeremy Lin and he is forced to come back down to earth like the rest of us. With Houston down by three points in the fourth with just over 10 seconds left in the game Lin launched a WIDE OPEN and potential game-tying three pointer, but it failed to even hit the rim. LeBron James tossed in a season-high 38 points while Chris Bosh had a solid double double with 24 points and 10 rebounds allowing the Miami Heat beat the Houston Rockets by a final score of 113-110.
