Current News
Willamette University Presents Shoebox Shakespeare
Willamette University Theatre presents Shoebox Shakespeare, its first show of the 2006-07 season, Oct. 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 at 2 p.m., with a preview Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. The performance will be in the Kresge Theatre at Willamette University.
"Eighty percent of Shakespeare's plays require nothing more than actors and a playing space," said Theatre Professor Jonathan Cole. "They rely on the power of the spoken word to indicate time, place and passion."
Shoebox Shakespeare, he said, presents Shakespeare at his most vital -- no elaborate sets, no fancy costumes, just great acting and inventive staging. The performance, which is a collection of the Bard's best-loved scenes and monologues, is presented in a minimalist style that brings out the vivacity of Shakespeare's language. Cole and Willamette University students Laura Hoff and Laura Wheatman adapted the scenes and direct.
"This project is near and dear to my heart," Cole said. "One way to enable theatre to live and thrive is to help young people fall in love with plays. Shakespeare is boring to many high school students and doesn't have anything to do with their real lives. To combat that assumption, we have assembled some of Willamette University's finest actors to bring the Bard from the page to the stage.
"The rough and ready presentation style and the fight scenes, combined with the sheer dramatic and emotional range of the content, should delight even the most jaded audience member," said Cole, who is an Advanced Actor Combatant certified through the Society of American Fight Directors.
Shoebox Shakespeare presents a remarkable opportunity for artists behind the scenes. Hoff, a junior theatre major from Fresno, Calif., and Wheatman, a senior theatre major from Pleasanton, Calif., serve as assistant directors. They helped adapt and cast the show and will direct a selection of scenes.
The company features Lesli Okorn, a senior theatre major from Tigard, Ore.; Sarah Hamilton, a senior theatre major from Salt Lake City, Utah; Eliza Leoni, a senior theatre major from San Francisco, Calif.; Kyle McBroom, a senior theatre and rhetoric major from Hillsboro, Ore.; Ben Nockles, a senior theatre and math major from Gresham, Ore.; Karen Johnson, a junior history major from Pleasant Hill, Calif.; Annie Rimmer, a junior theatre major from Portland, Ore.; Cory Goble, a sophomore theatre major from Las Vegas, Nev.; Tara McLauchlan, a sophomore theatre and psychology major from Woodinville, Wash.; and Olivia Saccomanno, a freshman psychology major from Grass Valley, Calif.
To purchase tickets, contact the Willamette University Box Office at 503-370-6221 or reserve tickets by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets are $5 for Oct. 12, 14, and 15 performances, and $7 for opening night on Oct. 13. The Willamette campus is at 900 State Street in Salem. For more information contact the Theatre Department at 503-370-6222 or visit the website at www.willamette.edu/cla/theatre/.

MSI Wind U135DX
SpecificationsNotebook: MSI Wind U135DX (Wind U135 Series)
Processor: Intel Atom N455
Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150
Display: 10.1 inch, 16:10, 1024x600 pixels, glossy: yes
Weight: 1.2kg
Price: 300 euro
Reviews for the MSI Wind U135DX
Source: Hi-Tech Mail RU→EN
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 02/03/2011
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N455: Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.2 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI), is a Taiwan based computer hardware manufacturer since 1986 best known for desktop computer motherboards. MSI also designs and manufactures graphics cards, barebone PCs, notebook computers, networking products, servers, multimedia, consumer electronics, and storage devices. MSI, as most Taiwanese computer manufacturers, sells products on OEM/ODM basis. It also sells products worldwide based on its own brand name "MSI". The market share of laptops with the MSI brand is rather low.

FED UP with people flouting Brazil's environmental laws, the government's green watchdog Ibama has begun a campaign to persuade people to take them seriously. Operation Penalty aims to clear a huge backlog of cases against environmental offenders and collect unpaid fines, which probably amount to some £285 million. lbama says this will be enough to end its chronic financial problems.
For the past two months, Ibama offices around Brazil have been sifting through outstanding cases. They have unearthed 115 000 cases so far, but Ibama believes the total could reach 150 000. Of these, 42 172 offenders have been ordered to pay fines totalling £57 million - only a tenth of which has been collected.
Ibama's financial director, Zila Soares Ribeiro, said the agency hopes to recoup the remainder by the end of the year. The biggest single fine was £1.78 million, which was slapped on the J. Ferreira timber ...

Dressed Up Bed Wear
So I am not the best at packing away all my seasonal clothes, like some will go away until next summer but some will stay hanging up through the winter, in the hope of being able to get super creative and somehow make them work for the winter. 1. because I love my clothes so much, I can not bare to part from them and 2. well quite a few of my pieces are not what I consider to be cheap and dam it we are in a financial crisis! Which means I have to be savvy and make the most out of my buys.
With all this being said, do you remember these Vanessa Bruno silk striped trousers from the summer? Well they are back with a winter/autumn make over. Yes they are paper thin and before some smarty pants makes the "but weren't you cold" remark, no, no I wasn't! I wore a pair of grey leggings underneath them and yes I said leggings because yes I do own them and no they don't only have to be worn with Ugg boots and preppy hoodies, or is that just where I live?! Originally the idea was for them not show but then I was indecisive about that and kinda just let them do their own thing and if they peeped out the bottom of the trousers, then that would be fine, guess it just adds detail to the look. I styled them with my charcoal grey Cos sweater from last year and my Topshop camel coat also from last year, the sweater was cosy and the coat gave the outfit some classic and tailored direction. I liked how with adding the classic shoes and accessories, with the exception of my sparkle sparkle beanie the look ended up feeling and looking like bed wear with glam and chic twist.
Before I go we have all been there right, when it gets really awkward shooting your pictures in a public place because of those people who were either not bought up with manners or just forget and simply go right ahead and stare. Well it's for that reason I tend to take my pictures somewhere a little more quite as it just puts me on edge and then it shows in my photos but this day I was feeling a little brave and went to my usual spot for when I am feeling brave, all was fine until this one guy decided to not only obviously stare whilst passing by but actually stop to watch for about ten minutes, or least it felt that long. I mean he might as well of pitched up a tent and made himself a nice cup of tea! At first I was like okay, weird but then I just broke out into laughter and couldn't stop but luckily I found some pictures where I had managed to compose myself. Ahh the joys of being a blogger!
Well I hope you like the look. Thank you my dears and take care,

Whitworth Jazz Ensemble Named Outstanding Group at 2008 Lionel Hampton FestivalThe Whitworth Jazz Ensemble was named outstanding group in the college/university division at the 2008 Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, held Feb. 20-23 at the University of Idaho in Moscow. This is the sixth time in the past 12 years that Whitworth's jazz band has received top honors at the annual competition. Seniors Nathanael Ankeny and Jared Hall were named outstanding soloists in the categories of alto-sax and trumpet, respectively.
Other schools that participated in the festival include the University of Washington, Washington State University, the University of North Dakota, the University of Utah, Boston College, Lewis & Clark State College, and Brigham Young University of Idaho. The Washington State University and University of Washington ensembles were named runners up in the college/university category.
"The music department faculty is very proud of our jazz students – of how hard they work and of how seriously they take this art form," says Dan Keberle, director of the jazz ensemble and director of jazz studies at Whitworth. "Their success at the Hampton Jazz Festival for more than a decade is indicative of the high-quality full-time and adjunct jazz faculty we have here at Whitworth."
The 19-piece group performs several concerts each year on campus, as well as at jazz festivals, public schools and civic events, and on annual tours throughout the U.S. The group has also participated in international jazz residencies and cross-cultural trips to Munich, Rome, Melbourne, Havana, and Sao Paolo; the ensemble returned to Italy in January 2008.
"It's notable that most of the universities we compete against are not only larger than Whitworth, but they also have graduate students at the master's level playing in their bands, whereas Whitworth's jazz bands have always been undergraduate students only," Keberle says.
In addition to its success at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Whitworth Jazz Ensemble has been honored numerous times by being selected from colleges and universities in the five Northwest states to perform at the All-Northwest and All-State Music Educators Festivals. Most recently, the ensemble was selected to perform at the National Association for Music Education's 2008 Washington Music Educators All State Conference, which took place Feb. 15, in Yakima.
In recent years, Whitworth has welcomed some of the giants of jazz to campus; the ensemble has performed in standing-room-only concerts with guest artists including Terence Blanchard, Robin Eubanks, Kenny Garrett, Eric Reed, Nicholas Payton, Jimmy Heath and Joe Lovano. The ensemble has produced seven CDs; the most recent is Apple Flambé, released in Sept. 2007. For more information on the Whitworth Jazz Ensemble, please visit www.whitworth.edu/jazzensemble.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts university affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The university, which has an enrollment of 2,600 students, offers 53 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

The whole world is a couch
Bitch I'm Rick James tonight (I don't give a fuck)
from Kanye West (Ft. R. Kelly & Teyana Taylor) – To the World Lyrics on Genius
A reference to the famous Chappelle Show skit "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories: Rick James". In the Second part, Rick James came to Charlie and his younger brother Eddie Murphy's house and started grinding his dirty boots on their couch. Kelly is pretty much saying the world is his couch he could not give less of a fuck.
This could also be referencing the Dave Chappelle skit mocking R. Kelly which featured the fictional song "Piss on You". His response is short and simple: "I don't give a fuck."

When they meet in New Delhi on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott should, hopefully, clinch the long-awaited agreement on civil nuclear cooperation that would allow Canberra to export uranium to India. But the two leaders should also look beyond the nuclear issue and lay the foundation for an enduring defence and security cooperation that will contribute to peace and stability in Asia and the Indo-Pacific littoral.
The nuclear deal is indeed an important breakthrough in bilateral relations. It is, in essence, about burying the past when differences over non-proliferation issues constrained the engagement between the two countries. These differences boiled over when Australia reacted sharply to the Indian nuclear tests in May 1998. Canberra found it hard to export uranium even after Delhi concluded a historic civil nuclear initiative with Washington that ended more than three decades of India's atomic isolation. There were deep divisions within the Australian political class on allowing uranium exports to India.
As part of its strong and unilateral non-proliferation commitments, Australia had decided long years ago that it would not export uranium to countries that did not sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The problem for Australia was that the India-US nuclear initiative was about finding a way to circumvent the question of the NPT. While India was not in a position to sign the NPT, it offered strong assurances to the international community that it would not use material and technology obtained through international cooperation for military purposes. India also reaffirmed its impeccable non-proliferation record and expressed full support for the global non-proliferation regime. The challenge in Australia was to get the political elite to look beyond the NPT, understand the value of India's integration into the global nuclear order and, above all, appreciate the broader benefits of building a lasting partnership with Delhi.
To their credit, Prime Minister Abbott and his predecessors in both Liberal and Labor parties have worked hard to overcome internal political differences and get the country to change its long-standing policy on uranium exports by taking a strategic view of relations with India. Once the deal is through, Australia could become an important source of natural uranium exports.
The real story, however, lies beyond uranium. Australia is rich in mineral resources and is a natural long-term partner for India's industrial growth. Whichever way Delhi's strategy for energy security might evolve in the coming years, Australia, with its abundant coal and natural gas resources, will loom large in India's calculus. With one of the world's strongest mining sectors, Australia can help India exploit its own natural resources in an environmentally sustainable way and thereby address one of the major current constraints on India's economic growth.
Contrary to the perception that the country is all about mining, …continued »

Burgess Falls is a 200-acre natural area in Putnam and White Counties and is located approximately thirteen miles southwest of Cookeville. It is managed by Tennessee State Parks. Burgess Falls lies on the rugged dissected eastern edge of the Eastern Highland Rim resulting in the occurrence of sheer bluffs, narrow ridges, waterfalls, and diverse forest communities. It was named for Tom Burgess. For many decades the Burgess family provided settlers with meal and cut lumber from their gristmill and lumber mill on Falling Water River above the falls.
Burgess Falls is most noted for its scenic value as Falling Water River drops nearly 250 feet over three waterfalls. The last of these falls is the most spectacular and begins where the water comes to the sharp edge of the riverbed and plunges more than 130 feet into the gorge. Protruding rocks halfway down break the curtain of water and spread a mist around the base of the falls. The bluffs rise on each side of the gorge framing the falls in rough gray rock. A steep trail leads to the edge of the falls, and a stairway leads into the gorge.
There are three major geologic periods represented in the natural area that contribute to formation of these falls. The falls are created where resistant cherty limestone from Mississippian Period Fort Payne Formation sits above Devonian and Mississippian Period Chattanooga Shale. A lesser resistant limestone has dissolved and eroded to form the scenic gorge and surrounding escarpment. The deposition that forms the gorge is from the Ordovician Period and is represented by Liepers and Catheys formations. This is an excellent example of the geologic process that formed the Highland Rim and the Central Basin. Chattanooga Shale is often present and delineates the two subunits.
The geologic features that create the scenic value, also supports diverse forest communities. The mixed mesophytic forest is particularly interesting. It includes eastern hemlock, umbrella magnolia, and the cucumber magnolia tree. These are species more often found in similar forests in East Tennessee. This forest also supports basswood, buckeye, sugar and red maple, numerous oaks and hickories, white ash, tulip poplar, and beech. Several showy spring wildflowers include bloodroot, two species of toothwort, wood poppy, numerous trillium species, trout lily, white dogtooth violet (Erythronium albidum), Solomon's seal, columbine, foamflower, rue anemone, goldenseal, dwarf crested iris, and shooting star.

DOLLY may look like other lambs, but she is the most remarkable animal ever born. She is not the result of mating between a ewe and a ram but was cloned from a single cell taken from the udder of a six-year-old ewe. She is the first mammal ever created from the non-reproductive tissue of an adult animal.
If the same could be achieved in humans, it would mean that each of us could have clones of ourselves made from our own tissue.
"Three years ago we didn't think it could be done," says Ian Wilmut, one of the team from the Roslin Institute and pharmaceuticals company PPL Therapeutics, both based in Edinburgh, which describe their breakthrough in this week's
Last year they used the same reproductive technology to create the world's first cloned lambs (

A lot of people are still getting viruses and problems with ad-ware and spyware all due to lack of basic information. I am going to give you all the basics you need, along with links to free programs (yes completely free) to help you keep your computer safe.
Firstly we shall go with anti-Virus programs. A lot of you have Norton or Mcafee. Personally I do not like them, and they miss quite a few viruses. But if you're happy with it then that's alright. However there are alternatives out there.
Avast! is a free anti-virus that is constantly scanning your computer. It also has a boot scan option, ie it will scan your computer before windows even starts up. Also it always tries to update everytime your computer turns on. If you are on always on broadband this is perfect. If you are on dial up you can also manually download the updates as they are quite small and should take no more then 30 seconds on a dial up. This program is highly recommended by computer experts the world over. It is also the one I use. You are required to register it, but this is also free and gives you a code to put into your program. Clicking the Avast! word there will start a download of Avast, clicking register brings you to the registration page.
Another good alternative is AVG Free. It is not an active scanner, so it isn't always scanning everywhere. If you have a slower or older computer this is a good choice. You must manually download the updates however, and they can be a bit large for dial up, taking up to 10 minutes. However it is still a good anti-virus. This has also won praise and awards over there years, and I would recommend it to anyone with an old computer.
For spyware and adware, look no further then Spybot Search and Destroy. A small spyware program that is simply one of the best. You can set it to update manually if you wish, or everytime you run it. I most heartily recommend this. It will find things you didn't even know you have. It's layout is simple, and the tutorial a great way to learn.
If you don't have a firewall, and are on broadband, you need one. Hell even dial up should have one. If you have windows XP service pack 2, the on board firewall is basically enough, make sure it's enabled. If you want something better however, Kerio personal Firewall is the way to go. An easy to use interface, quick installation. It's all good with Kerio.
You use Internet Explorer? Stop. Right now. Go Firefox. Free, faster, pop up blockers, and not as likely to get your computer infected with spyware and adware.
Lastly a warning. Don't randomly click links in emails, or from friends in AIM and MSN, especially if the address looks any way "strange". It's a virus more then likely. Unless your friend clearly states it is something that you asked to see, ignore it.

"With the arrival of spring, we wanted to hold an Open House in our new home. This invite, in the brown & sage colors was the perfect choice. Allowed for the personalization of the wording for our event. Heavy stock feels nice in your hand. I ordered the kraft envelopes as they continued the color scheme of the overall invitation and added a special touch."
"Just received my party invitations. From online ordering to delivery has been a breeze. The quality of invitations are superb. I'm a UK customer and delivery was prompt and I was kept informed about the progress of my order. It's very simple to edit and personalise your chosen product. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for unique quality invitations."
"I ordered these for a graduation party. They came today and are absolutely perfect!! They are so elegant. I really like the font and overall quality. The colors are exactly as expected. I splurged and went with the shimmer paper. Its a little thinner than I thought it would be, but its really pretty and worth the extra change. Great service as well. Can't wait to send these out!"
"Purchased on luminescent paper so the card gives a shimmered look....used for my grandmothers 90th birthday party. The text has an Art Deco flair and the roses on lace are both bright and sophisticated. Absolutely love the finished product and guests have been impressed...couldn't be happier!"
"Paper quality is top notch, the colors and detail is beautiful.Eveblueryone has told me how beautiful they are and I must have spent a small fortune. Thanks"

Emeli Sande: Our Version Of Events (CD)by
Emeli Sande
£6.99 Free Shipping
- Released
- 13/02/2012
- Music Genre
- Media Format
- Audio CD
If you're wondering which album will be the sound of 2012, look no further than the one in this very envelope. Emeli Sandé's Our Version Of Events will be the album to own in 2012. Like classic debut albums before it, Sandé's debut is a moment in musical time. Credible without attempting to be too cool', heartbroken yet crazy in love, it is considered without trying to be too clever. This is a distinctly British record with undeniable global appeal, created by one of the most exciting debut artists we have seen in recent years.For a relative newcomer, Sandé has already had an incredible career. As a published writer she's written hit singles for Chipmunk (Diamond Rings) and Wiley (Never Be Your Woman) and album tracks for Cheryl Cole, Susan Boyle and Tinie Tempah. Since signing a record deal with Virgin Records in 2011, Emeli has had a No. 2 debut single with Heaven, a No.1 single with Professor Green (Read All About It), won Best Newcomer at the Scottish Style Awards, been nominated for a MOBO and nominated for the New to Q Magazine award and won the Brits Critic's Choice award 2012 following in the footsteps of Adelle, Florence And The Machine and Jessie J. After selling out her own UK tour, she was recently announced as the main support on the Coldplay European tour. In November, Emeli travelled to New York to record with Alicia Keys and they appear together on the cover of Dazed and Confused in December. Emeli has also been booked on all the big TV shows including Later With Jools Holland and X Factor. It seems pop stars, award ceremonies and the music industry are utterly in love with Sandé's outstanding song writing, breath-taking vocals and credible compositions with commercial crossover. The album is written entirely by Emeli and produced by her creative partner Shahid Naughty Boy' Khan with contributions from Craze and Hoax, Mojam and Paul Herman.Recorded at her East London studio, Brooklyn', and at Naughty Boy's studio Hotel Cabana' in West London, the pairing of Shahid "Naughty Boy" Khan as producer and Emeli as singer and writer is one of the most productive creative forces seen since Alicia and Krucial Keys, Amy and Mark Ronson, Florence and Paul Epworth and Adele and Rick Rubin. After meeting at an acoustic night in London, the pair have written for everyone from Tinie Tempah to Tinchy Stryder, Wiley, Chipmunk, Cheryl Cole, Cher Lloyd, Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, The Saturdays and Professor Green. The gorgeous Heaven was the single that put Sandé on the map; hitting the charts at No.2, the expansive bass underscored and served as the perfect introduction to her incredible voice. "It's about growing up and realising you can't always be perfect; but what counts is knowing you could have done better, your intention to improve is what counts," says Sandé. The track won her legions of fans, including Jools Holland and Coldplay's Chris Martin. New single Next To Me could, at first glance, be about a boy, or even be perhaps spiritual in its sentiment. In fact, says Emeli, it was written about her No.1 love; music. You won't find him drinking under tables/ Rolling dice and staying out till 3/ You won't ever find him being unfaithful/ You will find him next to me.' Emeli supported Keys at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year and it was the beginning of the creative spark between the two. In November 2011, Emeli flew to New York to work with Alicia. "Because we both play piano, it made it much more of a natural process," she says of the experience. "I don't write with other people very well in general, so it was really cool to find someone that I like to write with. And even better that the person happened to be someone I've loved since I was a teenager." The pair created a song to be used on Keys' next album, and also the track Hope on Our Version Of Events. Like the artists she admires - Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Joni Mitchell - Sandé too is truly exceptional. A strong, socially aware woman who isn't afraid to laugh at herself or point out her faults, she has the potential to become one of the greats that she so admires. Her voice alone puts her in the upper echelons of singers; add into the mix her incredible writing ability, creative eye, mastery of the piano, guitar and cello and it's clear to see why she's already 2012's biggest story.

Schneller Sketch Dump
So my New Year's resolution was to begin a new sketchbook, and update it each and every day. Today is February 14th, and I still have not done it...With that said, it's time to get my butt motivated and start getting involved with the CA community.
I've been around here for a while, browsing and checking out all of the insane artwork. I'll try to update this as frequently as possible, but we all know how work and life like to get in the way of good intentions...
Anyway, here's some work! Pretty wide mix of stuff I've done over the past few years. Comments, criticisms, and just about anything else are completely welcome and encouraged!
First, some MetaBlast work:

Well, seems I've been sticking to me update plan quite well...
This drought has gone on far too long. Here are some sketches I did for a futuristic environment contest at Next-Gen Hard Surface:

Well, it's that time of the year again. Seeing as how my 2011 resolution didn't pan out, I should probably give it another try. However, this time I've been preparing for a couple months now. Last year I attended the TAD Explore workshop and found the Feng Zhu Design Cinema videos, and I'm happy to say that these experiences have rekindled my interest concept art, and have really opened my eyes. 2012 will be the year that I begin to really solidify my foundations and become a better artist overall.
I have been gathering information on perspective, production drawing, value, and composition, and will be doing rigorous studies each week using a progressive learning method.
Also, I plan on devoting some time for sketchbook work, basic idea development, and learning more about the world.
To keep myself accountable I will post my progress as I'm able.
That's all for now. More to come soon.

Update 1/8/12
As promised (in my post that is awaiting approval), here are some perspective studies:
Perspective studies done freehand with a Pilot G-Tec-C4, using the book Sketching: The Basics by Koos Eissen & Roselien Steur.
To increase my understanding of one and two point perspective, and to increase my confidence in mark making.
Unfortunately, I wasn't as productive this week as I had hoped. However, here are several notable things I learned:
- Eye level is always the same as the horizon line
- Emphasis should be placed upon the viewpoint placement in order to achieve an informational drawing
- In two point perspective, the distance between vanishing points should be about five times the image width to avoid perspective distortion
- Drawing straight freehand lines is tough - Practice!
I also did a fair amount of sketchbook drawing, but I wouldn't dare show those yet!
More to come next Sunday.

@NickyBeats and Jeff:
Thank you both! It is encouraging
Not much progress this week as I've been busy with some unexpected portfolio stuff. Hopefully this coming week things will settle down so I can get a few hours in.
Next week I probably won't have much to show either as I have a business trip out in San Fran. It's always something!

Milan (PRWEB) May 16, 2013
AppsBuilder (apps-builder.com) - the online platform for a self service creation of cross-platform native apps - launches Hire a Pro, a service that allows users to rely on a dedicated designer for the graphic development of an app compatible with most popular mobile devices (iOS, Android, Windows 7.5 and 8, BlackBerry10).
The service works in a very simple and fast way; just go to the dedicated page and follow the suggested steps: purchase Hire a Pro plan, provide a briefing to AppsBuilder designers, wait for the first draft of the app, share your ideas and feedback on draft and ... the graphical interface of your app is ready.
With the service Hire a Pro, even small businesses and professionals who do not have internal technical resources can now rely on a dedicated designer for the development of the graphical interface of their application in time and costs really lower than those usually required for the development of custom app.
"Thanks to our platform, we have helped so far over 500,000 users to create their own applications, at a rate of over 8,000 per month," said Daniele Pelleri, Co-Founder of AppsBuilder. "After listening to our customer feedback, it was natural for us to implement the platform with an additional design service to support app development. Due to the low cost of the service, we can offer freelancers and SMBs a dedicated designer to the cost of an online service".
What's included:
Hire a Pro is a service for the graphic development of mobile applications. In addition, users have the chance to subscribe a Basic or Advanced plan, with a special 40% discount, to edit their application in time.
AppsBuilder is an Italian firm that took shape in 2010 in the minds of two young computer engineering students from Turin's Politecnico. Daniele Pelleri (28) and Luigi Giglio (26) officially launched the company in April 2011 thanks to support from lead investors Massimiliano Magrini (Annapurna Ventures) and Mario Mariani (The Net Value) during the seeding stage. They were the Angel Investors who convinced the fund managers from Vertis Venture and Zernike Meta Ventures to finance the internet startup with a capital injection to the value of €1.5 million (23 October 2012).

Previously I have posted Receptions by Location and YAC by Location so it is time to look at the Seahawk's ground game by location, or more specifically by "hole". Using data from ProFootballFocus, we will take a look at Attempts, Yards, and Yards per Rush by hole.
38% of the Seahawks rushing attempts came between the Center and the Guards. Not surprising considering the power running game approach of the coaching staff and the skill set of lead back Marshawn Lynch.
While rushing to the outside of the guards, the Seahawks were extremely balanced in their running rushing 161 times to the outside of the left guard compared to 158 times outside of the right guard.
Despite the "3 hole having only the 3rd most amount of attempts, this hole is the leader in yardage. All 5 "runners" in the above chart had their best yards per carry in this hole. For the amount of attempts in the "2" hole I would have expected a larger return in terms of yardage. The revolving door at RG certainly is reflected in the yardage performance here.
The "8" holes shows up as the best performer in yards per carry. That number is obviously enhanced by Wilson's 105 yards but surprisingly, at least to me, Lynch performed exceptionally while running to the right end. Keep in mind that 77 of his 200 yards in this hole comes from one run in the Week #8 game vs the Lions.
Keeping the focus on Lynch as he accounts for the large majority of carries, in general he had more success running to the left. A data element that I would love to know is the breakdown on how many times he when he ran left was it the "strong" side of the formation or whether they were in double TE set.
Despite not having a more granular look at the results (ie. by personnel, by formation, etc) I think some interesting information can be found here. It was a very successful season rushing the ball however the team could stand to get more consistency from the RG position.

Product description
This is the definitive book on knots. Here are approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to "Marlingspike Seamanship." Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. Above all, Mr. Ashley gives explicit directions on how to tie them. He describes each step simply and clearly in the text and has penned right alongside some 7000 drawings to make it still more graphic. This book and a piece of cord will open a new and challenging world of practical adventure to readers of all ages. There are many distinctive features to this informal encyclopedia. Outstanding are the delightful sketches and illustrations by the author that enliven every page. Mr. Ashley, a prominent marine artist, is at his best here. Sailors have been the greatest experimenters with rope, but since they have no monopoly on the art, the author describes knots used in over ninety other occupations. These range alphabetically from Archer to Yachtsman, and aesthetically from Florist to Hangman. The forty-one chapters include knots classed under such general types as "Hooks, Beckets, and Toggles, " "The Noose, " and "Tricks and Puzzles." Mr. Ashley has devoted eleven years to writing this book, and it is based on forty years of looking for, trying out, and thinking up new knots. His drawings abound in humo and the text is full of colorful anecdotes. THE ASHLEY BOOK OF KNOTS will make a unique and permanent addition to any library.
