High Heat
Another piece to work on my digital painting, I intended to be reminiscent of those great old pin-ups of the 40s and 50s. I intend to go in tighter and work out the grass, maybe add in an old manual scoreboard in the background. Any crits or advice, especially on how to improve the foreground figure, are greatly appreciated.

She looks horribly sunburned, ouch. The mound also looks like a sacrifical mound covered in the blood of the innocent. Ok that may have been a bit much but unless my monitor is completely out of whack or I've just been struck colorblind, everything is a bit toooo red.
Also I don't see a real lightsource, or rather I see a few different ones, except on the face which seems a bit flat.
You know, maybe it's just the other reds that make her look sunburned.
Anyways, I'm just rambling at this point, hope I helped...

I know she would be moving but anyhow, she would fall on her face, her feet are not under her center of gravity at all. If you start a vertical line from her feet (since they are together) you will see what I mean, her butt is over her feet, and her entire torso is to one side.

Check out this site, or this one. It might give you a better idea of tweaks you need to make by looking at similar type works.
More than anything else, this piece just looks flat. Like a cartoon with a bit more shading colors added, but not really an illustration. Also, the shirt wouldn't hang like that. The armhole would not simply lower as she bent, especially with the weight of her braless breasts. It's a nice fantasy piece, but too cartoonish and overly stylizied without enough realistic details to encourage the viewer to "suspend belief."

Nice! I appreciate you guys stopping by to look and taking the time to comment.
Idiot Apathy: You're right about the mound, it needs to be a lot lower and more of a sandy color. As for her skintone, I saw those kinds of orangey shades in a piece I liked and tried to go with them. I'll revisit both of your suggestions for sure.
qitsun: Her balance is something I hadn't given much thought to. I was trying to show her in the beginning of her pitching motion, which I wanted to be like the old, exaggerated motions: lean way forward, lean back for a super-high leg kick, etc. It looked right to me, but it gets hard to be objective after staring at it for so long. I'll look for some more ref to see if I can improve her balance.
madster: What do you think is the main failure of the piece? The over-stylization of my original lines or the painted colors? I'm not quite sure if you meant details like the armhole, etc, or the anatomy as whole.
Appreciate the help all, I'll be going right back to the drawing board!
July 2nd, 2005 #6Originally Posted by Undefeated
The anatomy is worst on her left shoulder. It is too rounded and swollen - looks like someone smacked it with a bat. Her overall length is too tall (8 head lengths from top to toe), with the upper legs the chief offender. Her lower arms are too short, and her ankles are basically non-existant.
It's still a cute concept, and I'm sure the scoreboard background will help.
Look forward to your next revision!

Actually if you unbend her legs but keep her upper leg at the same angle, it would bring her feet under her center of gravity. It might not be the way to do it but I hope you get my point, which is: you can bend over as much as you want, but keep your feets under your center of gravity. So the more she bends, the more her butt sticks out.

|Laws established by the authority of his Majesties letters patent ...to James Duke of York
|Manuscript, 132 p., Hempstead, N.Y., April 2, 1664-1667
|The first laws of the English province of New York were promulgated on March 1, 1664/5, at a General Meeting of representatives of the towns of Long Island (which, at the time, included Westchester and Staten Island). Known as the "Duke's Laws," they are the foundation for all New York legislation since the seventeenth century for the topics they covered. Arranged alphabetically by subject, the more than eighty laws dealing with civil actions, court system, law enforcement, militia, town government, taxation and property rights went into effect immediately, even though James, Duke of York (later King James II), did not approve them until November 4, 1667. Also bound in the volume are manuscript copies of nine sets of amendments and additions which were issued between 1665 and 1667. Since the text of the laws was not printed, a manuscript copy was prepared for each of the seventeen towns of Long Island. This copy, one of the few extant, was probably prepared for Jamaica; the East Hampton copy was used by the New-York Historical Society to issue the first printed version in 1811.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette Emily Maynard Hangs With Ricki and Her In-Laws —Cute Pic of the Day
Emily Maynard's looking for love in all the right places on The Bachelorette, but she's still tight with her in-laws, aka Ricki's grandparents!
Emily's ex-fiance, professional NASCAR racer, Ricky Hendrick, died in a plane crash on October 24th, leaving Emily pregnant with their now-6-year-old daughter, Josephine Riddick "Ricki" Hendrick.
Emily and Ricky had dated since the tender age of 15 before getting engaged at 18, which gave her plenty of time to get close to his parents, Rick and Linda Hendrick. We know, everyone in this story is named Ricky, Rick or Ricki. It's a thing.
Check out this adorable picture of Emily posing with Rick, Linda and Ricki with the caption #LOVE. Awww, they're a big, happy family!

March 30, 2009 - Bethesda, MD - Today, in a letter to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, Association for Financial Professionals President and CEO Jim Kaitz requested that the Federal Reserve extend the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) to Tier 2 commercial paper issuers. The Tier 2 commercial paper market is approximately $80 billion in size and includes such household names as FedEx, Kraft, Kroger, Safeway, and Time Warner.
"Cash and credit continue to be extremely tight while the Fed continues to restrict CPFF credit to Tier 1 companies. The Fed needs to act quickly and extend credit to Tier 2 companies," said Kaitz.
The membership of AFP includes more than 16,000 financial executives employed by over 5,000 corporations and other organizations. AFP members represent a broad spectrum of financial disciplines and their organizations are drawn generally from the Fortune 1000 and middle-market companies in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, retail, energy, financial services, and technology.
Since the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) became operational in October 2008, the program has been successful in enhancing the liquidity of the Tier 1 commercial paper market. By providing a liquidity backstop, the Federal Reserve has provided greater assurance to both issuers and investors that firms will be able to roll over their maturing Tier 1 commercial paper.
To the degree the CPFF is opened to Tier 2 issuers, the demand for bank credit on the part of Tier 2 issuers should decrease. This would increase the ability of banks to lend to other companies and individuals because Tier 2 companies will not have to draw as much on bank lines of credit for capital.

The folks over at Engine Yard have launched a new PHP-related effort to try to do their part to help out PHP user groups all over the world - a new program that aims to provide user groups with support via a direct link with their leaders.
Since Engine Yard was formed, we've had a deep commitment to supporting the open source community. [...] What was missing, though, was a more organized way to reach out to PHP User Groups to offer our support. We didn't really have a consistent way to connect with user group leaders. That's why we're starting a PHP User Group Program.
User group leaders that sign up will get a monthly email describing the benefits available to your group, a list of upcoming events or conferences your attendees might be interested in as well as information on getting occasional swag/sponsorship for your group.
We'll also be highlighting a PHP User Group of the month, which will entail a blog post about your group, a visit from us and some extra special goodies for your members.
If you're a user group leader, you can get involved by signing up here and you'll be notified when you've been added.

The pill peddlers were busy on Eutaw Street. Up and down the sidewalk they shuffled, hawking a variety of goods — methadone, the anxiety drug Xanax and other prescription medications — in a street code repeated over and over.
"Bukes and bars, bukes and bars," one man said rhythmically, slang for the buprenorphine strips used to treat heroin addiction and bar-shaped Xanax tablets.
Steps away, a huge sign heralded the entrance to another busy world of buying and selling: "World Famous Lexington Market," a fixture on downtown Baltimore's west side since 1782.
As a treatment outreach worker, Edward Canty has had a daily view of this illegal sidewalk commerce — a gauntlet through which shoppers must pass while dodging those already in a hazy high. He pities the older women heading into the market for meat and produce, as his grandmother once did, and the lunch crowds streaming in for a hot dog, crab cake or Chinese food from one of more than 100 stalls.
"You've got to skim through all of this madness," he said, surveying the scene through dark sunglasses on a recent Friday afternoon.
City Hall is laying the groundwork for a major overhaul of the city-owned market that could cost up to $25 million. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and market managers believe a redesigned building and better vendor mix — less fast food and more fresh, gourmet and ethnic fare — could lure back those middle-income shoppers who abandoned it long ago.
But officials acknowledge that managing what happens outside is vital to achieving success inside.
Police say a beefed-up presence that began two years ago has made a dent in problems such as prescription drug dealing, a view reflected in arrest statistics. Significant problems remain, though, with a recent police report describing Lexington Market as "a well known open-air drug market." Since summer, market management has barred more than 50 people for drug-related offenses.
Drawing more-affluent customers is one way to drive off such "negative behavior," said Ted Spitzer, whose consulting company Market Ventures Inc., which specializes in public markets, was hired last year for $436,000 to develop a master plan. That won't happen "unless the fundamental product offering and physical space is improved," he said.
"The market is long overdue for that kind of major improvement," said Spitzer, president of the Portland, Maine-based firm.
Some merchants express deep concern. Konstant's Foods owner Larry Brenner, whose four stalls sell candies, barbecue, fresh-roasted peanuts and $1.95 hot dogs, agrees that change is badly needed. His sales are down more than 20 percent from two years ago, he says, adding that he believes some people are "scared to come here."
But Brenner worries that overhauling the market could seriously disrupt business for an extended time and argues for more modest improvements. With the master plan not due for several months, he notes that a remade market is probably a couple of years away.
"In the meantime," he said, "we're all dying here."
Hopes for revival
For a long time, Lexington Market hummed. During much of the 20th century, it sat in the heart of the city's bustling shopping district, a block west of the junction of Howard and Lexington streets, home to four major department stores.
With the rise of the suburbs and the emergence of modern supermarkets after World War II, the Howard Street shopping district had declined markedly by the late 1970s, and it wasn't long before many regular customers stopped going to Lexington Market.
"A lot of people who used to come all the time, [now] we see them only at holidays," said Mike Houvardas, longtime owner with his wife, Fotini, of the Bergers bakery stall, which sells the familiar chocolate-covered cookies and where doughnuts are two for $1.
By 2004, the last time the market's management conducted a demographic survey, a "significant" share of customers reported household incomes below $25,000, said Casper Genco, who plans to retire this summer after 12 years as executive director.
For more than a decade, city officials have pinned hopes for reviving the market partly on breathing new life into nearby vacant buildings, such as the former Hecht Co. department store, now the Atrium apartments. Officials expected those new residents to reinvigorate the market, a trend bolstered by the steady growth of the nearby University of Maryland, Baltimore's medical and academic campus.
It hasn't gone according to plan. Key parts of the west-side redevelopment project have stalled, notably the "Superblock," a $152 million proposal for 300 apartments, retail space and a parking garage that has been mired in litigation. And many hoped-for shoppers have avoided the market, whether because of discomfort with the setting, dissatisfaction with the offerings or both.

PRODUCERS are questioning Meatco's decision to pay 25% less per kilogram for slaughter cattle that are not EU-compliant based on a recent reinterpretation of the '40 days residency' regulation by the Namibian Veterinary Service (NVS).
The decision says that all animals that lose their EU export status due to the regulation - where compliant animals come into contact with non-compliant animals - will be penalised by 25% per kilogram as from this week. However, producers will have the opportunity to withdraw their animals from slaughter.
Farmers are asking why Meatco cannot keep compliant and non-compliant cattle separate at the abbattoir, as they are allowed to do, and pay the same price for both, seeing that the company already gets high prices from the EU market for compliant cattle.
The producers argue that since only about five percent of cattle are non-compliant, according to a Meatco newsletter, this could easily supply the Namibian market.
They accuse Meatco of using the regulation to force them to sell cattle directly to Meatco instead of at open auctions, where their cattle could come into contact with non-compliant livestock.
"Producers are in a way forced to sell to Meatco for less because of fear of losing out at open auctions where just one non-compliant animal could 'infect' all the EU-compliant animals, causing them to lose their status and force producers to sell their stock for lower prices, or take them home.
Unfortunately there is no other market for these contaminated animals," one farmer said.
At an open auction, producers argue, it is easier to get a favourable price.
"Only after an animal is slaughtered and inspected at Meatco will the producer know what he will get paid by weight. If he is not happy with the price, he can't take the animal back because it's already slaughtered. He just has to take what he gets.
And then the price the company advertises excludes abattoir service deduction and Meat Board levies. At least at an auction, one can say no to a price and either hope for a better deal later, or take the live animal back home," a farmer said.
Meatco controls 80% of Namibia's beef exports. Only a small percentage is exported to the European Union, while the rest goes to South Africa. The company slaughters about 120 000 cattle and produces more than 27 000 tons of beef a year.
Meatco's announcement was based on a directive by Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer Jessey Kamwi on February 4 that only cattle complying with the '40 days regulation' would be slaughtered for the EU market.
Although this regulation had been in effect since November 2011, its interpretation changed from February 4. Now, animals destined for export can lose their compliance status if they come into contact with non-compliant animals during the 40 days before slaughter.

The high-def upgrade to Panasonic's Arbitrator system that had been informally announced at the APCO Show in August raises the stakes in the police in-car video niche that has often lagged behind consumer demands for full HD image quality.
The higher image clarity better equips agencies and officers to "respond to citizen claims and build stronger relationships within their communities," according to the company.
The Arbitrator HD offers a front-facing full-HD camera with a 65-degree wide-angle lens that also includes a 30X optical zoom and 12X digital zoom. Up to four side- and rear-facing cameras recording 720p high-def images can be added to the system to provide a 360-degree view around a police vehicle.
The system delivers the capability to set recording based on preset triggers and stream video via a wireless connection from a patrol vehicle to the station. Dispatchers can remotely zoom cameras for better viewing.
The system preserves the chain of evidence with searchable categories and permissions settings. Files can be shared via DVD, as .wmv, or in a protected native format.
Panasonic's accompanying CommandIR in-vehicle management software allows full integration with a computer operating system and the ability to classify and annotate evidence files with additional data. The SafeServ management software enables user configuration, evidence management, and export for use in court. SafeServ manages a variety of digital files, including footage from Panasonic's WV-TW310 on-body camera systems.

Skomina, from Slovenia, could take the players off the pitch at Groningen´s Euroborg Stadion if there is a repeat of the racist chanting towards Nedum Onuoha during England´s win over Serbia earlier in the tournament.
"The referee is in charge and we would support him if he heard racist chanting and took the players off," said UEFA director of communications William Gaillard ahead of Saturday´s final. "Racism is something we will not tolerate."

The 2011 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe FLSTN is a motorcycle cruiser with authentic Harley style. The Harley fenders on the Softail Deluxe are true retro style with their long lines and chrome Harley fender tips. And each fender says Deluxe so everyone will know how you roll. The Harley Softail Deluxe has a wide front end fork and gorgeous seven-inch ball motorcycle headlamp. Whitewall tires give this motorcycle cruiser a 1950s boulevard retro motorcycle look. Hit the boulevard in style with this classic two-up FLSTN Softail Deluxe seat. At a lowdown 24.5 inches, it's among the lowest seat heights you'll find. And we've added some ergonomics to make riding solo or duo even easier, especially for riders with a shorter inseam. "Collapsing" sides create a narrow seat profile, and the passenger seat pillion is detachable.

It is summer now. Outdoor temperature raises to unseen peaks and only air conditioner can help you to stay smooth. No doubt that temperature influences your productivity. But how? And what temperature is best for office productivity to setup your air conditioner? Let's find out.
In majority of cases existing standards for the temperature of the work environment allows wide temperature range from 65° F (18° C) to 88° F (31° C) depending on working conditions. But this range is quite lengthy and most people feel uncomfortable working outside relatively short 'comfort zone'.
Scientific studies confirm that indoor temperature can significantly impact on productivity and most performing 'comfort zone' lays between 72° F (22° C) and (77° F) 25° C. The graph below based on research by Helsinki University of Technology 'Effect of Temperature on Task Performance in Office Environment' shows how relative productivity changes with the temperature.
As you can see, the productivity changes significantly and highest performance achieved in relatively short peak between 70° F (21° C) and 73° (23° C). Outside 63° F (17° C) and 82° F (28° C) temperature range the productivity decreases more than 5% and significantly impacts on workers ability to work and even can influence health.
Though most scientific researches return close results, on the other hand there are some differences. Scientific studies on the subject performed by Cornell University concludes that most convenient temperature for best office performance is at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). When the office temperature is outside this mark the productivity decreases (research was attended mostly to temperature decreases).
"At 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the workers were keyboarding 100 percent of the time with a 10 percent error rate, but at 68 degrees, their keying rate went down to 54 percent of the time with a 25 percent error rate."
"At 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the workers were keyboarding 100 percent of the time with a 10 percent error rate, but at 68 degrees, their keying rate went down to 54 percent of the time with a 25 percent error rate."
It is important to add that most comfortable temperature for best performance can be determined only on personal level and it depends on physiological characteristics of a human. For example, plump people prefer a little lower temperature than thin people.
Thus while using air conditioner remember, that it is important not even to overheat yourself but also not overcool too. Productivity Science recommends to setup range between 71° F (22° C) and 77° F (25° C) on you air conditioner remote control and maybe it is good to try different temperatures in this range to find most appropriate for your performance.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offyea wtf @ the release dates haha. I couldn't find this sht anywhere to buy. whatever for now. you are the man!! If it is as good as I hope it is, I'll probably buy it when it comes out anyway. I actually don't mind digital releases. I realized sometime last year that my physical releases just sit on my shelf after I uploaded them into itunes anyway hahaha.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offleak made my day. if you enjoyed either BTBAM's "Alaska" or "The Silent Circus" I can't see how you wouldn't enjoy this album. This is probably my 2nd favorite album this year behind Dillinger's.
Can't find this anywhere!
I have been waiting for this album ... where is it?
I am probably about to commit a major musician faux pas and comment on this review. However, since there are so many questions about the release dates, I figured I owed it to those who are interested as well as to Adam so no one thinks he supplied you with incorrect information.
We were pushing really hard to get the album out by the end of July and had planned on July 27th being the release date all along. We had a few snags along the way (artwork, guest vocals, pre-order date lead times etc.) that put the date in jeopardy but we thought we could keep the date from slipping regardless so that is the date we supplied with the album to reviewers. Unfortunately it was confirmed this week that was not the case and the album is being officially released August 10th with pre-orders starting this week instead of the actual album sales this week. This also gives the label a little time to promote now before it is actually released as well.
Sorry for any confusion and for the delay; there should be an official press release from Tragic Hero soon on actual pre-order details etc. For now, based on the comments/reviews, it looks like there are some leaks out there. Feel free to check those out and hopefully you will enjoy the record enough to pick up your own copy August 10th. Thanks again to Adam for an awesome review.
Album Rating: 3.5Thanks for the info Jamie! =)
thanks for that update man.
Album Rating: 4.0I retrieved the book (The Screwtape Letters) and this album on the same day! Time to have some fun! :D
Album Rating: 3.5Vampolka, your username ROCKS.
*ahem* I should really read that book...
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks for filling us in. Been looking for it and good to hear official word. Really enjoyed the EP; will be buying.
Album Rating: 4.5Hilarious that he posted here HA. Even better that he didn't care crestacious posted a link. But I totally agree Coleba. I found the EP via sputnik and was happy to see this review. Especially since it had a leak link. Great album. Like ^ said. Will be buying.
Album Rating: 3.0Josh you may NOT listen to this. Once an album based on The Age of Reason comes out you can listen to that.
Digging: mewithoutYou - Pale Horses
Album Rating: 4.0Album is so good that if it were a character Tom Hanks would play it in a movie.
ok wow, yeah this is much better then their debut. so much more focused and those btbam comparisons are so spot on.
Album Rating: 3.0This isn't as awesome as I hoped it would be. I spend my life trying to find another TSC, but WHY?? Album is still good though.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffTheir drummer must love that little splash cymbal. It sounds oddly fitting, though. I like it.
Album Rating: 4.0such a great album!

Lastminuteracingdotcom... FIM WCCC round II (Tunisia Rallye)
So, if you had two weeks with nothing much to do, what would you choose? Nice beach holiday somewhere perhaps? spend a bit of time in the garden now that spring is here? read that stack of books you've been amassing but somehow never got round to?
Or buy a brand new motorcycle and try and build a Rally bike in time for the second round of the FIM World Cross-country Championship - the Rally Oilibya De Tunsie, which starts on the 1st of May this year...
Yeah, I'm kinda thinking that was a silly idea too, but hell, it's too late - I paid my entry fee today!
So, this is where I'm at... so far, I have a sexy new WR450F sitting in the shed:
Over the past couple of weeks I've managed to get 600 odd miles on the beast (and boy it is a beast!) and the valves checked and adjusted - hopefully they will be good for the rest of the season now...
Fortunately we have some lovely mountain roads in the arse-end of Wales where I currently live, so it was a joy to run the bike in:
And some right sh!tty trails to ensure the bike is now thoroughly secondhand:
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted it is a Euro [homologated] version of the WR450 - that is it comes complete with a full lighting kit (inc larger 55w headlight) horn, brake lights etc which is a bonus... and a shockingly restricted and heavy cat equipped exhaust which would be a pain, were it not for the fact that the bike is also supplied with the proper 'off-road' exhaust system and jets, throttle stop screw etc to get it back to full power - yea!
Larger headlight - this is a particularly good thing, as you'll find out later:
Speedo will be removed, tell-tail lights and ignition switch will stay:
Neat rear light/licence plate holder... will be on ebay soon x:
Suicide side-stand spring and bolt will be replaced with the 'other' sort:
Obviously I removed the huge tail-light, mirrors and indicators almost before it came off the trailer, and likewise the AIS plumbing has now been consigned to the bin...
So far, all I've fitted are a pair of Renthal RC High-bend Fat-bars (my favorite) Barkbuster Storm handguards (excellent!) and a DRC Anato rear light/licence plate holder...
As you can see, I've also fitted a white (Acerbis) rear fender, which is more appropriate to the colour scheme I have planned.
However, over the past few days various boxes of various sizes have been arriving, and some of them (make that all of them) have contained some utter Rally bike porn!
First off, and most importantly perhaps, is the JVO Rally 'Lite' kit - this includes twin front fuel tanks (20L total), a carbon kevlar (yes really!) fairing and low front fender, plus the most intricate and elaborate Navigation tower for the front end...
Polythene opaque/white tanks:
Stealth-bomber matt black gel-coat:
Want to leave it unpainted inside!:
The Nav tower really is a work of art and very nicely thought out - fully adjustable and with mounting plates for the nav gear, GPS/Iritrack aerials and (as I found out today when my Sentinel fitting kit arrived) a dedicated pre-drilled space for the Sentinel mounting bracket - these crazy Spaniards think of everything!
Talking of Nav gear, I stumped up for one of [Tony] Schattat's excellent Rally remotes - it really is beautifully made, and works a treat with my MD roadbook and Touratech IMO 100R50 computer - result!
Honda CB500X 'Adventure' - not a unicorn as such, just a little mule with a bump on it's head...

So you're still debating whether or not to jailbreak your iPhone? Hopefully after reading this you will have made your decision. Back in October we brought to you the first Top 5 Must-Have Jailbreak Apps, well today we bring you round two of the series. Now keep in mind, all the seasoned veterans of Jailbreaking will or should know about all the apps listed here. This article is for the sole purpose of swaying those still on the fence to the darkside...
***All of the following apps can be downloaded via Cydia on your Jailbroken iPhone.
Read on after the jump!
1. PDAnet
Yes, this one was covered fully by Dieter, but this app seems to definitely be super popular in the Jailbreak community. PDAnet will use your iPhone as a Wi-Fi router that you can connect to with your laptop to browse the internet. Do you want to get stuck paying AT&T $30 for tethering services for some causal browsing? Didn't think so... so head over to check out our full guide on how to set up PDAnet. You'll be surfing in no time!
Be sure to heed Dieter's warning when using this app:
blockquote>There is one major caveat you need to be aware of with PdaNet: the Terms of Service on the standard AT&T iPhone contract (and also on their standard Data Plans) do not allow you to tether. Most people simply ignore this and go ahead and tether anyway — being careful not to overdo it might prevent AT&T from hitting you with extra fees or even a cancellation.
2. Cycorder
So the lack of common features of other phones really aggravates you? Say the lack of video recording on a device that is geared towards multimedia? Yeah, we can see how that one is pretty disappointing. Well thanks to the Jailbreaking community you now to can record video with your iPhone with Cycorder. Recording in .mov format, Cycorder gets anywhere from 7-15 frames per second along with supporting audio! To get Cycorder simply go into Cydia and you will see it on the "Featured Packages" list on the front page.
For more information and details please visit our post on this free video recorder - Cycorder.
3. Status Notifier
In the forums lately a few of you have asked me about a program that notifies you of incoming messages, missed calls, voice mails, calendar alerts, etc... Well there is one simple answer to that, Status Notifier.
4. SBsettings
This next app also addresses a common complaint that we hear a lot regarding the iPhone. I don't know how many times I personally have seen "Is there any way to turn Wi-Fi off/on without going through all those steps?" on the forums. The answer - SBsettings. Now take that one step further, how about screen brightness? Toggle bluetooth on and off with a single button on the home screen anyone? Edge and 3G? You get the idea... Try it out!
h3>5. Qik
Another area that iPhone customers get the short end of the stick on is streaming live media. Until now that is. Let me introduce you to a little app called Qik. Qik offers iPhone users access to internet video streaming over their cellular network. Be sure to check the Qik link above to get yourself up and streaming over the internet!
Hopefully after reading this you are finally off the fence and will either Jailbreak or simply decide it isn't for you. If you do jailbreak, this list of must-have jailbroken apps should keep you busy for some time. For more information about jailbreaking please visit our Jailbreak Apps forum along with Jailbreak Central!

Top 5 Must-Have Jailbreak Apps: Part Two
i jail broke my phone but when ever i do it , it just messes up my phone... is there any way to prevent this from happening?
@ Russ
Could you please clarify what messes up on your phone so I or someone else can help?
i jailbroke my phone so i could down load the app that lets u have landscape mode for text and email. and my phone just was going real slow and at one point every time i wanted to go to call someone or look at my phone book it would go to the dial phone screen then freeze and crash so i got rid of it... but id like to jail break my phone with out it getting messed up, im just not a huge computer guy.. like you know how theres so many addons that come with jail breaking it i feel like one of those things were interfearing with my iphone...like i just wanted to know if anyone could give me advice on what packages i should downlaod and waht i should stay away from
Have you jailbroken the 2.2 fw? It is not as laggy as previous jailbroken fw's.
Check out the forums here or at www.everythingicafe.com. You should find plenty answers there.
Here's a link that will tell you everything you need to know:
@Russ: that landscape testing app had isssues at first with 2.1 and 2.2 when they first released. They have since been updated and have worked perfect for me.
I think QuickGold (quick app/contact launcher/dialer) should be added to this list, if not already. Along with iRealSMS (landscape texting/forwarding/reply without opening the app).
I haven't used Status Notifier but I don't think I could go back to a non-jailbroken phone after using Intelliscreen. Knowing what's up at-a-glance is where it's at and Apple missed a real trick there.
hey... thanks guys for the advice.... honestly i think im just gonna keep it non-jailbroken, it just seems way to complicated and risky.. doesnt really seem worth it to me if i just wanna get an app to allow sms in landscape
I just jailbroke my fone. I have downloaded some apps. Every time I go into Cydia and come back out, my icons are moved around to different screens, even the ones on the dock.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, some of the themes I've loaded don't show up on the iphone. I have the 2.2 jailbreak and 16gb 3G iPhone.
I personally think two apps should really be in the top 5 ... Mplayer & MewSeek ...
@The Don: Themes show up in the Winterboard app. As for the icons moving, that's very odd and i've never heard of it after a jailbreak.
I have a 16GB 3g Iphone on T-mobile and the best thing about jail breaking your iphone is the jailbroken apps that allows u to get cracked apps for free!! So u Appstore lovers pay up, we are getting everything u have for free. HAHAHAHAHA
hey guys, im curious in the statusNotifier screen there is also a MMS icon. any idea what program provides MMS functionality?
"we are getting everything u have for free. " I guess since you are from DC it is easy to justify theft. As for me, a $3.99 app is not worth my integrity
As Fred Smith said... yes, it is possible to get "cracked" apps for free. But why would you bother unless you had pistol-whipped someone in order to get your iPhone? Even $12 for an app isn't that much and that's the most that I've had to pay. Assuming you bought your phone legally it is just pathetic to get out of paying $1 or $2 for some apps for your phone.
PS, Apps cost $0.99 - $49.99
Most crappy apps are $0.99. The good ones are usually $6.99+ per app
mms? is that possible to get on the iphone? and if so how?
MMS is possible via sending emails to there phones or via the cydia featured app "SwirlyMMS". Havent used it in months but worked fine once configured. Hope that helps
I'm using SwirlyMMS on a daily basis and it works absolutely great on my jailbroken iPhone 3G using T-Mob US!
Just a helpful hint I thought I'd pass along if you don't already know- if you're having trouble after Jailbreaking your iPhone, it may be because you downloaded Kate from Installer. I don't know if this has already been discussed, but I had an issue with my phone tonight (the phone kept crashing and I couldn't dial anyone not in my contacts/couldn't see the keypad and other features). I uninstalled Kate but my phone didn't immediately get better. It was strange, I got an incoming call afterward and THEN my phone started acting normally again.
Hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.
PS- I vote for the NES emulator to be on this list too!
Hi i just got my new iphone 3G for at&t and im still debating wether or not i should jailbreak my phone. Many people tell me that it's awesome and the best at first but then your phone starts crashing and freezing. Is that true? Is it really worthy jailbreaking or should i just leave it how it is? I don't want that to happen to my phone but i also want to see the things you can do when you jailbreak.
CadillacEfromDC, congratulations and good for you for figuring out how to get everything you want for free. But you should at least have the sense to realize that when you do that, you're leeching off of the people who do pay. so instead of laughing, you should be thanking the people who do pay for supporting the developers and providing you all these apps to steal. lame.
Is there a way to turn off the SMS reminder? Ever seen an incoming text on the screen, read the message without replying, then the phone goes off 5 minutes later, only to remind you that you havent awknowledged the first message? Its really annoying,
I would almost pay for an app that solves this problem. Please, I'm sure someone has figured it out.
AH HA!! The jailbreak process solves this! Nevermind. I haven't noticed the problem being gone since jailbreaking it. OK, now we have ANOTHER reason to jailbreak our iPhones.
American entitlement mentality at its worst. You do realize, don't you, that these apps cost 6.99 because they have to recoup the cost of self-aggrandizing entitled thieves such as yourself.
Done! It feels like i just got a brand new iphone. UNREAL! TY
Seriously people. We all pay for apps because when we pay, the devs keep making apps. If everyone stole the apps, the devs wouldn't bother to make anything (save for a few who kindly do things for free). Once they stop making them, then there won't be anything to get for free.
Me personally, I buy apps for my 3G S, and download some others (to try them out or whatever) and get free stuff for my old iPhone. I've been buying for the start, so I'm set in that department. I can't imagine how someone can just steal so much. But I suppose that's what people want things, do nothing to get things.
And by the way, not all apps that are 99c are crap. If you do research, you'll find a great number of 99c apps have been great. To name a few: CircuitStrike_One, iDracula, Pocket god, Peggle, Moonlights, Blimp, Let's Golf... The list goes on and on.
Rather than just assuming something is the way it is, do a little thinking and research before you spit out a reply to someone's opinion. (This is to those who don't think. coughCadilaccough)
the fart machine app was .99 and the guy who made it made a million dollars off it. apps cost next to nothing to make. if 100 people buy it you break even. the thing thats stupid is when you buy an app and it blows. its a waste of money. i would have easily paid a grand for the apps i have on my phone. i have all of netters anatomy apps which are $50 a piece.
i dont care if im getting something for free. theres been a billion downloads in the app store, no one is losing money. everything in itunes is a rip off. if you buy a single song for a dollar, you have to pay another dollar to make it a ringtone. things like this are retarded. couple that with apple not putting basic features on the iphone until the 3rd release. shit camera, no mms, no copy paste, no video camera.. come on. the phone costs hundreds of dollars. i wont lose sleep at night because some dev doesnt get my .99
btw, the first starred out word is f a r t. lol i guess it's a bad word and needs to be filtered
Well. I use that source but in a different way.. I trndto find an app I'm interested in and will download it from the source and try it out. If it is worththe money and a decent app I will then go and buy it. I know they have lite versions of their apps in the app store but it's not the same. So there is a good reason to hve cracked apps. I mean how many people out there downloaded an app just to get pissed cause it sucked
Thank you Mike!
Very good app collection!
sooo fake ;-)

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Songs: Music From Season 3, Episode 10, "The New Deal"
Cameras swirling. Hearts pounding. Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) kissing. Wait, what? What was that song that was playing so we can relive the moment over and over again? Listen below!
Source: Chris Mollere's Twitter
Song: "Holding on and Letting Go"
Artist: Ross Copperman
Music moment: Damon compels Jeremy, Damon and Elena kiss
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody really know if its the end of the beginning?
The quiet rush of one breath
Is all we're waiting for
Sometimes the one we're taking
Changes every one before..
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
Sometimes we're holding angels
And we never even know
Don't know if we'll make it,
But we know,
We just can't let it show
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Song: "Shook Down"
Artist: Yuck
Music moment: Elena goes for a run
To collapse in a sugar cane.
Suck it sweet to kill the pain.
There was someoene i was looking for.
There is no more.
My tongue is weak from a kick or two.
The word is dry, I think of you.
Tie my face to the back of a jet
To keep my essence there.
And its been a week.
And its been a week too long.
There are several things that i've been doing wrong.
You see the time it takes for you.
Is the time it takes for me. So don't agree.
If it's late then I will go.
Turn the lights out, turn it slow.
Like you turned me upside down.
And faced the ground.
Spinnin' left I spin at you.
Song: "Teenage Blood"
Artist: Apex Manor
Song: "Come On Let's Do It OK!"
Artist: The Trigger Code

International Children's Book Day
Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, April 2, International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children's books. This years theme, The Book Remembers, comes from Estonia. ICBD promotes the idea that children's books can help children learn about people from other countries, learn to appreciate and respect other cultures, and learn to get along with others. Here are some of the great books available to help you celebrate the day:

A singer who seems to have been born knowing how to carry a tune but with the rarer gift of knowing how to go straight to the heart of a song.
The debut solo album, Looking Glass, was released in September 2010 by prestigious folk label, Topic Records, and quickly earned Fay many accolades as well as a nomination for the Horizon Award at the 2010 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
'One of the best albums I've heard in years' ~ Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
'Unadorned and quite exquisite' * * * * ~ Uncut Magazine
Fay's second album, Orfeo, is released by Topic on 28th May 2012.
Orfeo features 11 superbly arranged traditional songs, including lead track, 'Sir Orfeo', based on a 13th Century retelling of the epic supernatural Greek fable, Orpheus and Eurydice. Fay Hield's gift for unearthing rare and interesting material is well represented throughout, including the obscure but beguiling nursery rhyme 'Naughty Baby' and the feisty Lancashire mill-girl tour-de-force 'The Old 'Arris Mill'. An Anne Briggs inspired version of 'The Cuckoo' is included. In folklore, the bird's call is often used as a signal heralding spring and the number of times it is heard during the season is said to translate into the number of years until a death or a marriage. The delightfully named 'Tarry Trousers', is a song Fay discovered through singer, Frankie Armstrong, but which was also well known by Dickens (and quoted in his novel, Dombey and Son). 'Wicked Serpent' meanwhile, originates from the US and is based on an incident relating to the unfortunate Timothy Myrick of Springfield Mountain when he died after having been bitten by a 'ratel snake one August…'
The focus of the first album was Fay's rich and unadorned voice. While 'Orfeo' finds her once again exploring lesser known traditional songs, this time, the new recordings also see Fay confidently fronting a stellar supporting cast; The Hurricane Party. Consisting of some of the finest folk musicians working today The Hurricane Party features; Andy Cutting (button accordions, melodeon), Rob Harbron (English Concertina, fiddle, vocals), Sam Sweeney (fiddle, viola, cello, nyckelharpa, vocals) and Roger Wilson (fiddle, guitar, mandolin and vocals). Plus special guests Jon Boden and Martin Simpson play on the album and perform live when they are available for special shows.
Alongside her burgeoning performing career, Fay is also an academic, lecturing in Ethnomusicology at the University of Sheffield. Her PhD thesis 'English Folk Singing and the Construction of Community' was completed in 2010 and she is currently consultant for the 'Music Communities' research project at the University of Manchester. Fay also guest lectures at other educational establishments, including the Leeds College of Music.
Fay and her partner, Bellowhead frontman Jon Boden, also find time to run two folk clubs – Royal Traditions (in their local village of Dungworth) and, along with Kit Bailey and Martin Simpson, Bright Phoebus (Sheffield).
Orfeo is an album of songs to which Fay feels an especially strong connection. Her choice of material and the delivery of it, reflect a rare sensitivity and appreciation of the tradition whilst remaining naturalistic and highly distinctive. Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party will appear at a range of key festivals throughout the summer before undertaking a major UK tour in the Autumn.

From what I understand (sadly much less than I'd like to) French ships were regarded as handling quite well and being fleet (I'm guessing good streamlining?), Dutch ships frequently has a shallow keel and rounded lower hull to allow stabillity and buoyancy to operate in shallow waters... I'm not sure what, if anything, the British were noted for.

Dutch were known for shallow draught (good for entering shallow harbors which was useful in the netherlands) and for excellent cargo capacity. They tended to undergun their ships as well. Their first rates were 80 guns. They also did not use plans until considerably later than the other nations.
French were known for fast ships that handled well under light winds but became difficult to control under heavy seas. They tended to overgun their ships, with considerably more firepower than other nations compared to ship size. They also tended to lightly frame their ships which made them cheaper to build but also less durable.
English ships were known for more even handling (not necessarily better, but consistent under a variety of conditions), and considerably more hull framing for the size of their ships. They were slower and less heavily gunned than their French counterparts, but also more heavily armoured, easier to handle in heavy weather, and broader in relation to their length). Likewise they were heavier gunned than their dutch counterparts but also unable to pursue them into shallow harbours.
Spanish ships, like the Danish ones, tended to mix elements of all nations into their designs. Unlike the Danes however, the Spaniards tended to maintain a consistent approach to design. Instead or swapping out elements here and there as desired, they would incorporate the best elements of all nations, thus ending up in the middle range of everything. In the beginning of the PotBS period their lineships were exclusively French designed and built as far as I understand it. Toward the end of the period, having lost much of their Caribbean military might, they developed some of the most advanced cargo ships of the era (the Manila galleons after about 1730). This is part of what prompted Anson's raid against Spanish interests in the Pacific aboard HMS Centurion.
Oh, one last thing. A rarely mentioned fact that had much more to do with ship design in the later end of the PotBS period than technology or ship stats, was that there was a massive timber shortage going on throughout Europe. The French approached this problem by lightening their ships. The English approached it by building with green wood (which rotted and distorted faster than seasoned wood and caused many ships of the era to decay rapidly or be lost at sea without a trace like the Victory of 1737) I'm no expert on Spanish ships by any means but as far as I can tell they dealt with the issue by building less warships and focusing on the Asia trade, leaving the others to squabble over the Caribbean.Last edited by KrisWood; 04-08-2010, 01:03 AM.

One suggestion: a side elevation, particularly of the headrails and head timbers, would be quite a useful addition
Didn't the Spanish also build some warships in the Americas? I seem to recall reading about at least one 1st rate built somewhere in South America... can't remember the source now, though. Also, wasn't (at least by the late 18th C.) timber from the North Sea region a vital resource? (though this may have been more fir for masts than oak for hulls)
@Josh: I don't know, the only spanish first rate I can think of was the Santissima Trinidad, not sure where it was built. I know that 4th rates and smaller were built in Cuba, and some third rates.
@Xaphod: You mean the one in section 8? If you mean something different please elaborate and I will accommodate

Dino Ferrari, known as Dino's, in Sauchiehall Street will shut its doors on Sunday, March 16, it is understood.
The Italian restaurant, with takeaway and sit-in sections, has been a favourite of city centre diners for more than 50 years.
A Halifax spokeswoman said: "Following the successful opening of our Aberdeen branch in December 2013, this year we will also be opening Halifax branches in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
"These branches will be in central locations within the city centres and we look forward to providing further details as soon as we are in a position to do so."
The opening of the new Halifax is not expected to affect the Bank of Scotland branch at 63 Sauchiehall Street, which lies directly across the road from Dino's restaurant.
Dino's, in its original form, was opened by Swiss-Italian Francis Ferrari at 10 Sauchiehall Street in the 1960s, before Dino Baldi opened his restaurant in Buchanan Street in 1966.
Soon after, Mr Baldi also acquired Mr Ferrari's restaurant and Dino Ferrari was born, with the business eventually moving to 25-41 Sauchiehall Street, where it has been based for more than 30 years.

The Indian team were travelling to Fatullah, more than an hour's drive from Mirpur, where South Africa, their opponents for Friday's semifinal, were training. The two teams have not criss-crossed paths during practice since the Proteas landed in Dhaka from the port city of Chittagong. If they had been training on the same ground at the same time, the Indians would perhaps have let out a chuckle.
The South Africans have been taking extra precaution to deal with the spin threat ahead, so much so that even fast bowler Dale Steyn was affected. On Thursday he started off by giving his openers, especially Quinton de Kock, some much needed spin practice by bowling off-spin at the start of the training session.
Over the past two days, the South Africans have used the driest pitch at the Dhaka Academy grounds, the one in the middle, to simulate the conditions of the eight pitches at the centre of Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. Hashim Alma, a wristy and correct batsman, has played more reverse sweeps than copy-book strokes over the past 48 hours. When asked about leg-spinner Shane Warne's presence at the practice session on Wednesday, the South African preferred to look the other way.
The last time these two teams played each other — during the two Tests and three ODIs tour of SA earlier this year – the Indians failed to register a win. Mirpur, though, is another world compared to Johannesburg or Durban. In Twenty20, it has been established that there are no favourites. In this tournament, the Netherlands beat England and Hong Kong beat Bangladesh. The Indians will shy away from saying it but they head into the semifinals as favourites. The South African's weakness against spin and the fact that they haven't won a knock-out match of an ICC event since 1998 will stack the odds heavily against Faf du Plessis's team.
India unbeaten
What also makes them underdogs is that they are up against a side that has been unbeaten in this tournament, is led by a skipper who has won three ICC world titles, including the Champions Trophy, and will have to face bowlers who have not collectively bowled this well in a long time.
The Indian spinners — Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra and Ravindra Jadeja — have been effective on the wickets which have offered them assistance. The troika have played a huge part in successfully restricting Pakistan, West Indies and Bangladesh to modest totals and bowling out Australia for less than hundred runs.
This tournament has seen a turnaround in the fortunes of MS Dhoni's side that hadn't beaten a Test nation, other than Bangladesh or Afghanistan, in over three months in any format. Earlier this week, Dhoni spoke about how and why his bowlers have collectively made in impact in the World …continued »

See G. W. Johnson, Memoirs of John Selden (10 vol., 1883-84).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.3 square miles (0.8 km²), all of it land.
There were 103 households out of which 19.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 41.7% were married couples living together, 7.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 46.6% were non-families. 44.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 20.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 1.95 and the average family size was 2.73.
In the city the population was spread out with 20.4% under the age of 18, 6.5% from 18 to 24, 25.9% from 25 to 44, 20.9% from 45 to 64, and 26.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43 years. For every 100 females there were 105.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 107.8 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $28,750, and the median income for a family was $37,500. Males had a median income of $20,417 versus $16,250 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,137. About 8.9% of families and 10.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 16.0% of those under the age of eighteen and 6.1% of those sixty five or over.
