I like them a\for everything, but now finally found a set of the original 1970s Hi Point MX boots which are perfect for trials thru street riding and light MX which is all I do. I originally bought them to ride my Supermoto around soince the regular MX boots now are soooo frig stiff. Love botht ehGaerne Balance and the Hi points. When i go anywhere someone wants to buy the Hi points though......they have the uber cool chrome shin guard.

OL Matt Kalil's Mom Has Got It Goin' On
The 2012 NFL Draft has been about the ladies, including Matt Kalil's mom.
A former Miss California who still has a modeling profile for Explore Modeling, Cheryl Kalil caught the attention of the internet as she stood by in an Oscar-worthy red dress while the ex-USC offensive lineman celebrated getting drafted on Thursday night as the fourth overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings. Eat your heart out, Lauren Tannehill.
Yes, and that's Cheryl's daughter and Matt's sister, Danielle, in the below photo, courtesy of Sports Grid; she's an aspiring model and singer.
But you should save the Stifler's mom jokes because Twitter already has cracked plenty of wisecracks about the looks of Kalil's mom.
This from @jimmybellamy: "After seeing Matt Kalil's mom, Delonte West simultaneously announced his retirement from the NBA and intentions to play for the #Vikings."
From @Bamma_Hammer: "Bigger bust: Dontari Poe, or Matt Kalil's mom?"
Also, this tweet from @DavidTJCummings: "Is that lady in the Red Dress Matt Kalil's mom??? Can you say Cougar"
And most appropriately from @okdeadhead: "Can I draft Matt Kalil's mom? Wowsers. #nfldraft #milf"
But his mom and sister aren't the only beautiful people with whom the new member of the Vikings associates. His girlfriend, Mary-Kate Fitzpatrick, is a former Miss California runner-up.
Can we get an invite to Thanksgiving dinner this year?
Mom: Cheryl Kalil (right)
Sister: Danielle Kalil
Girlfriend: Mary-Kate Fitzpatrick

City police are reminding motorists that if they are caught moving into bike lanes, they'll be tagged with a $125 fine.
The rules surrounding roads with bike lanes take effect Tuesday in Thunder Bay. Traffic Sgt. Glenn Porter of the Thunder Bay Police Service says there are a number of things motorists need to keep in mind.
"Of course you can't drive in a designated bike lane," he said during an interview with CKPR Radio. "You can't park, and you can't stop in those lanes. Generally speaking the fines are about $125."
Sgt. Porter added that there is one goal for the lanes.
"These bike lanes are designed to provide a safe passage for cyclists, who are of course the most vulnerable vehicles on the roadway."

WATERLOO, Iowa - Waterloo police have arrested a man in connection with the theft of two laptop computers from the headquarters of the Black Hawk County Democratic party.
Local party chair Pat Sass told KCRG.com that the computers and a jar of change disappeared Wednesday morning after several people came into the office posing as a cleaning crew. Sass said the people in the office coordinating the return of yard signs didn't know that the party did not have a cleaning crew.
Sass said that one of the computers belongs to Congressman Braley's office, the other belongs to someone with the Obama for America team that shares the office.
Waterloo Police said the computers were recovered when the man went to a local computer store to get the passwords erased, as both laptops were electronically locked. Police are still investigating the case.

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
High Country Specials Ford Mustang - Rocky Mountain Highs
The High Country Special Mustangs Blanketed The Western States With Special Colors And A California Special Look-Alike
Offered during the '66-'68 model years and available at 100 Ford dealers in the Colorado, Wyoming, and Western Nebraska regions, the High Country Specials were among the first of the promotional Mustangs created to enhance sales. For the first two years, the HCS Mustangs were set apart by their unique colors, while the '68s borrowed heavily from the Shelby-like California Special styling.
In 1966 and 1967, High Country Specials were available in all three body styles, all painted with one of three promotional colors: Aspen Gold, Timberline Green, and Columbine Blue. The front fenders sported a brass badge featuring a running horse in a blue-sky background over a mountain horizon and the words "High Country Special." A delete-paint-code number on the data plate and a DSO of 51 for Denver, followed by a four-digit code, identified a Mustang as a High Country Special. Bob Teets, the recognized expert on High Country Specials and keeper of the registry for these rare Mustangs, suspects the four-digit code represented a dealer number designating a group for a certain dealership.
Teets has updated the production figure for the '66 High Country Special from 330 to 333, based largely on publications he has uncovered. A Denver Post advertisement dated July 26, 1966, mentioned, "Only 333 people in the entire United States will be driving one of these High Country Specials." In August 1966, a Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad publication called Green Light reported, "333 of them rode flanged wheels of steel across the Rio Grande on July 18 from Salt Lake City to Denver, the first full trainload of sports cars to move as a single shipment across the system."
The production figure for '67 High Country Specials now stands at 416, thanks to Kevin Marti's production database for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury cars and trucks built from 1967 to 1973. Teets believes that other documentation, such as a Rocky Mountain News advertisement stating "This special emblem marks your Mustang as one of the 400," was close, but not as accurate as Marti's Ford-based figure.
For 1968, the High Country Specials were nearly identical to the more widely recognized California Specials, including the nonfunctional fiberglass side scoops on the rear quarter-panels, a fiberglass decklid and quarter-panel caps that formed an integral spoiler similar to the '68 Shelby, Mustang script lettering in the upper right corner of the spoiler, a fiberglass rear panel with Shelby taillights, and a pop-open gas cap. The side stripes were centered from the leading edge of the front fender to the rear edge of the side scoop. Special stripes also accented the unique integral spoiler formed by the fiberglass rear decklid and quarter-panel caps.
The '68's triangular decal was originally designed as part of the striping on the fiberglass side scoop. Teets reports some HCS Mustangs never received this extra piece of stripe on the side scoop. The standard Mustang chrome running horse and corral were deleted from the front grille, and Lucas fog lamps were mounted on both sides of the grille opening. The standard turn-signal hood fastened with twist-type hood locks. Special promotional paint was not part of the '68 High Country Special, but all had a DSO of 51 for Denver.
When Tony Popish, founder of the Special Order Paint Registry for '64 1/2-'73 Mustangs, ran across a program from Continental Divide Raceway, where Denver-area Ford dealers premiered the '68 High Country Special, he immediately routed it to his friend, Teets. The program stated, "Today you are getting the first public look at the exciting new High Country Special '68 featured in the drivers parade lap and on display. Only 250 will be built. Inspired by Shelby GT ... but priced like a Mustang."

Thread: Line weight

Line weight
I've taken quite a few drawing courses while in school, and from introductory drawing, all the way up to intermediate figure drawing, I've never had teachers expand on the idea of line weight. Perhaps it's a relatively simple concept, but I was wondering if there is anyone who is really comfortable with the subject, they could explain the idea behind it to me in detail. I find that what my drawings lack are the depth that a subtle change in line offers. The thing is, I never know exactly WHEN to apply it, and I'd rather not keep encouraging anymore bad habits to form, lol.
Any thoughts would be quite helpful

explanation to line weight
ok, first off pick your light source. the surface line closest to the light, or most affected by the light will take on a lighter line weight appearance...and of course the surface further away from the light, and less likely affected by the light, will take on a darker line weight appearance. also, a lighter line weight is helpful in certain situations when you want to show less emphasis, for example, say you are drawing a humanoid character, and the camera is positioned so that one of the character's legs or arms are closer to the camera. drawing the leg, or arm that is further away from the camera can be done with a lighter surface line to show a greater distance to the viewer. this will also help you establish a stronger focal point in the piece. atleast that is my take on the line weight issue you are having. hope this is helpful.

well.. i guess it depends on the kind of picture you are talking about.
for instance in comic books lineweight might be used to imply form, whereas in other mediums (like digital paintings) it might go hand in hand with lightning, composition etc
In cartooning a thick outline might just be there to separate a character from the background etc.
I'm used to the comic/illustrator approach of adding depth and form through changing lineweight.
heres two (old) examples.. the first from a time when I knew NOTHING about the topic and one when I was more experienced:
without controlled lineweight
with controlled lineweight
as you can see in the first one, i used almost the same lineweight all over, wich makes the picture rather chaotic.. the picture is killed by its details, and you cannot make out the general forms unless you really look hard.
it would be easier to see whats going on if i would have used thicker outlines for the separate bodyparts etc and chosen thinner lines for the details.. kinda like breaking the picture into little zones to make it easier for the eye.
another thing would be the flow of the lines... they are rather blocky stopping the eye from wandering a bit.
now on to the second pic. It was a tshirt illustration emphasising on less detail to make it easier for the printer, so no crosshatching or shading was allowed.
as you can see, the flow of the lines is much easier on the eye and you can make out the different zones (the face, the hair and the fox)
i used the effect of slowly increasing an decreasing the outlines to get a softer feel and to bring out the round shapes more as well as strenghtening the pointy tips of the fox's fur to make them more spikey.
Often that technique is used to achieve at least a little dimension on a picture that is destined to look truly 2d.
I reserved the thin lines for the girls hair, to get rid of the feeling that she is wearing a helmet or anything like that. I spared the fox of too many details since the girl should be the focal point.
so long story, shorts sense: lineweight can be used to break up a picture into several zones, bring out shapes more, and to create an overall unified feeling of flow (at least in the field of lineart/cartoons/comics).
I'm not sure about other mediums though- just breaking into the realm of digital paint etc myself currently.
hope it helps...
p.s.: just realised that those examples arent the best, i'll post some clearer ones once my hand has healed enough.

Thanks guys, especially for the timely reply^^
Goodchild - I definitely see where you're coming from, and when you mean focal point, are you touching on the same ideas as Virus? Such as keeping the focus more on the subject you are drawing?
VirusArtist - Thanks for using the pics to explain, I totally find myself in the situation you were in considering the first drawing. I'm lacking that "unified feeling of flow" that you described. Keeping everything both of you guys said in mind, I find myself looking at those samples (as well as a lot of your work on your website Virus- great stuff) and somewhat beginning to understand why each line has been given a more weighted stroke. However, there are still a few instances where I feel a little unsure as to why the weight has been placed there, so obviously I'll need some practice at visualizing as well as applying this information. What did you guys do to become more familiar with this? Anything specific, Virus, that you started doing after the first sample and the realization that your drawing lacked a particular depth?
I'm full of questions, lol. Really appreciate the info and help tho.

It wasnt until I became a freelancer and one of my clients returned my work with the words: "Ink that one again and make it more fluent! Your drawing looks like a ballpen sketch!" (it was a cartoony shirt design).
Back then I used to ink my work with a simple fineliner, basically just tracing the lines.
In order to get paid for my work I needed to improve, so I asked other artists I knew for advise (mainly from the tattoo scene). They told me most of the stuff I wrote earlier.
I found out the rest building on that foundation and am still learning new ways of using different lineweight through simply experimenting (there's still a lotta room for improvement).
So all in all you just have to try to implement all that into your style.. after a few pics it will come more and more naturally until you have evolved an instinct for it..

Yeah, it's definitely something I'll have to practice. I think I'll take a dive into some old comic books, just to get a good feel of the way the lineart works in general. Sound like a good idea?

Line Weight cont...

I agree wit Virus, it does matter what kind of picture you are talking about. Definitely on the same page with the lineweight technique on keeping the focus on the focal point. Also, waht I said about the light source/lineweight was just regurgitated from my first year Drawing and Perspective class-pretty basic stuff really, but looking back at it now, it was rather vague. I agree that varying the lineweight is very helpful with the flow of the piece, and with practice, you will start to see things you didnt see before. A great way to find out waht looks good is to study a professional's work. For example, for graphite renderings, www.kevart.com , is an excellant site to see the change in lineweight, how it establishes the focal point, and teh overall flow of the piece. To be honest, nothing is set in stone, and if you can make something werk, more power to yah!
www.wesleyburt.com is a good site for graphite rendering reference also.
Are you still in school? If you are, I noticed that after graduation, and I was no longer being bombarded by a thousand different things at once, that things just started to make more sense.
Keep up the good werk
September 13th, 2005 #8
Goodchild - Yeah, I totally hear you about seeing things through practice, and it's part of what I love about the experience. I have noticed over the years though, that it's easier when you have a push in the right direction. I'm quite surprised at the number of teachers I've had that have ignored this aspect of drawing in their teachings. As you can see, especially with www.kevart.com, it's quite crucial to the overall flow of each piece. By the way, great links ^^!! It's pretty much exactly the type of drawing I was referring to, since I am in love with graphite.
and yes, I'm still in school ^^ I'm doing my last year majoring in Graphic Design. I'm so releaved to hear you say that about post-college, LOL. As much as I love graphic design, I'm a little nuttier for natural media, so I wish I had more time to let things sink in. My curriculum is a complete joke, so it doesn't focus nearly enough on Art classes like it should.
In any event, I'm definitely putting all of this into action as we speak, so hopefully there will be some good work I can post soon. ^^

I do not assume, nor would I suggest to anyone, that factory setup makes all the tuning and spec adjustments. First, they assemble the bows, they don't shoot and paper tune them, that is the dealer's job, so I would not expect idler lean adjustment beyond 9 twists in the left yoke and 12 in the right yoke for a RH bow. Second, the strings and cables are new and will stretch just sitting in the UPS truck and the heat during transit, so even if the bow was perfect leaving Sparta, it wouldn't be when it arrived at the dealer, and it certainly won't be until it has been shot 50 to 200 times to get the string and cable to settle. There are some things you just have to do yourself if you want a bow to suit you and your shooting style. Having a dealer paper tune a bow to a bullet hole doesn't mean it is setup for
to shoot a bullet hole. Having a dealer set the peep height doesn't mean it will the
peep height. You get my drift, eh? When you get your bow back, and I'd be mildly surprised if there is anything seriously wrong with it, but Mathews seems to change out limbs and cam as a matter of policy, give some of my broadhead tuning tips a try, and if you have problems, PM me. Although, I'm taking off Elk hunting in 5 days and who knows when I'll be back out of the mountains

Consideration must be given to work which undertaken is in a caring capacity. The quality of supervision is exceptionally important as is the training available in the work setting. Examples of related work would be in social care e.g. residential care of children, adolescents or the elderly. Family support work, social work assistant roles, after-school clubs etc. Voluntary work in the areas of on-line support, phone counselling, befriending work and work within a community development context. Working with the homeless or with people with a a learning or physical disability is would also be regarded as 'relevant' experience.
If I have a qualification other than those mentioned on the initial information webpage and I still feel I have the desire and experience to train as a social worker what should I do?
You should contact the Professor of Social Work: Caroline.mcgregornuigalway.ie.
Is the MA in Social Work programme keen to recruit international students?
Although international applicants do not, of course, receive preferential treatment, we would welcome their interest..

I meet the criteria but have not been to College for a long time or have gone back to do an Access course as a mature student. Will I be able for the course?
Any help you need either from an academic perspective or a personal support perspective will be offered by NUI Galway. You only have to ask.

For every student one of their placements will be within a statutory agency and this can be child protection, mental health, probation etc.
Are there any hidden cost while on placement?
The current situation is that the majority of social work agencies do not pay mileage/travelling allowance. Therefore where a student has to engage in home visits the travelling expenses are not always paid by the Agency.
What International placements are there?
Currently there are placement sites in Chicago, South Africa and the Philippines.
What is the story around Garda Vetting?
Each student offered a place on the NUIG/MSW must fill out a Garda Vetting form at the time of Registration. This is forwarded to and processed by the National Garda Vetting Office. On this form you are asked to make a disclosure of any actions where you have come to the attention of the court i.e. where there is a prosecution. It is exceptionally important that this form is filled out honestly and clearly.
What happens then?
During the MSW Induction, students are asked to make an appointment to see the Practice Learning Co-ordinator if they have made any disclosures on their Garda Vetting Form. This is in relation to placement.
If I have a past conviction will it inhibit where I can go on placement?
Each case is viewed individually. Consideration is taken regarding the type of disclosure and the length of time since its occurrence. Placement agencies, with the student's consent, will have to be notified of the conviction. Some agencies may require a risk assessment on the student before placement can begin. The Agency's decision on whether or not to accept the student is final.

Level 8 is the minimum qualification and no exception can be made to this irrespective of other experience and qualifications

How important are my references?
These are also important as they also receive some points at the short listing stage. You should request references from persons who are most able to account for your academic standing / practice experience.

Middle Eastern carrier Emirates is to equip its entire fleet with the in-flight mobile phone system developed by the Arinc and Telenor joint venture company AeroMobile.
Dubai-based Emirates, which is investing $27 million in the programme, had been tipped as a customer for the system after AeroMobile began transporting equipment for installation on Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
The Emirati flag carrier airline is expecting to commence mobile phone service on board a 777 in January next year once all the necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained.
Passengers are making around 6,000 calls each month, amounting to 13,000min of voice communication, from phones installed in the seats on Emirates aircraft – although users benefit from the airline's strategy of offering subsidised rates.
But Emirates says that it believes travellers also want to be able to use their own mobile phones to make calls and exchange text messages.
"Our research tells us our customers would appreciate the option of staying in touch in this way," says Emirates chairman and chief executive Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.
"The option of mobile phone use will be available under guidelines that recognise and respect the privacy of all our customers."
While the air transport industry has yet to confront the issue of social etiquette once passengers are able to use their own phones, Emirates says it will encourage passengers to keep their phone in silent mode while on board.
Passengers will only be allowed to use their phones once the aircraft is established in the cruise, and the overall number of simultaneous calls will – as with the in-seat phones – be limited to around five or six. Emirates will also control the AeroMobile system to ensure that voice calls are prohibited at particular times, such as during night flights.
AeroMobile president David Poltorak says: "We are delighted that Emirates has taken the lead in introducing our service across its fleet. We believe that the ability to communicate efficiently, easily and safely when on board flights will become an essential feature of business and leisure travel."
Emirates and AeroMobile will also enable passengers to use a variety of hand-held email- and Internet-capable systems once communication equipment is upgraded to handle high-speed general packet radio service (GPRS) data. This is set to take place next year.
