(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer With their season slipping away, the Detroit Lions return home for a crucial three-game stretch at Ford Field, starting with Sunday's game against Green Bay. At this time last year, the Lions were one of the NFL's big success stories, on their way to their first playoff berth in a dozen years with a dynamic young roster. That seems like a long time ago now. Detroit is 4-5 and facing a daunting schedule the rest of the way. Yes, the next three games are at home, starting with Green Bay, but the talented team has taken a step back.

Just got thru with my 1st valve adjustment, easy thanks to your advice. Double checked compression stroke with flywheel marks, all 4 were tight. Got them set and bike seems to rev smoother, also changed fuel filter, gapped spark plugs,changed a bad fuel line, and a cracked crankcase breather hose. The one way ball check valve on crankcase was corroded shut, got it cleaned also. Not sure what helped, maybe everything.
Thanks again, Scott.

Original Essays
Ghosts of My Brotherby Julia Scheeres
That's what I set out to do when I wrote my memoir, Jesus Land. I was weary of mourning my brother David in silence. Even after 20 years, the merciless fact of his death stabbed my heart like a steak knife whenever I thought of him. I felt compelled to record his footprint on this earth, his fleeting, tragic, graceful life. What better way to immortalize him than in a book?
I knew David better than anyone. From the time he was adopted at age three until he died in a car crash at age 20, we were in constant contact. We were the same age. We shared classrooms, church youth groups, even a reform school. It fell on my shoulders to keep his memory alive. This was a heavy burden.
My family is Teutonic, stolid, Midwestern. We do not emote easily. We avoid squirmy topics of conversation. We bury painful events under layers of silence, avoidance, and belittlement. When David died, this approach no longer worked for me. I went from the relatively carefree life of a college sophomore to utter devastation. I wrote bad suicidal poetry and was plagued by chronic migraines and a budding stomach ulcer. I dulled the ache with valium mixed with cheap whiskey and cigarettes. On weekend nights, as my classmates engaged in youthful bacchanalia at parties and clubs, I got hammered in my car, then took my place among the ranks of the defeated the homeless, the schizoids, the misanthropes in the periodical room of the local library, hiding in literature, unable to stand anyone who so much as appeared happy. I was miserable and wanted everyone else to be, too. Camus, Sartre, Kafka these were my dark companions.
Eventually, I outgrew the bad suicidal poetry and wanted to write down the truth. I thought recording David's life in vivid detail would help mitigate the pain of his death. Indeed, it has. But when I first sat down to the task, I was emotionally paralyzed. How do you translate someone's life into words? Was it possible to capture both the hard facts of a person's reality and the essence of their humanity? Was it presumptuous to even attempt to do so? What would David think of my undertaking? For several agitated days, I stared at my blank computer monitor, these questions seething inside me.
Finally, in an effort to get something on that screen, I jotted down a few physical facts of David's life:
1. He weighed 2 lbs. when he was born.
Then I added some emotional facts:
1. He was frequently harassed by racist bullies.
There is a blur between the physical and emotional facts of David's life, and this is where his story lies. He wasn't all saint. He wasn't all victim. If I had to select one adjective to describe him, it would be hopeful. Hopeful that people would love him back. Hopeful that he would be accepted. Hopeful that things would get better when he turned eighteen and was in control of his own life.
I have a box marked "David," where I keep everything related to my brother. His life, in mementos. These include yellowing letters. A lifetime of photographs. A cassette tape of the '80s new wave band A Flock of Seagulls. A Purdue Boilermakers jersey. His National Guard manual. The green notebook in which he'd started his autobiography. His death certificate.
Combing through these physical artifacts and dwelling on the significance each one held, I fashioned a narrative. As I immersed myself in his life, I began to dream about him on a regular basis. He'd appear randomly as a colleague at the newspaper where I worked, offering to make a few phone calls so I could meet a deadline, as a customer in line behind me at the grocery store. I'd be ecstatic to see him, but he'd shrug off my excitement as if nothing unusual had happened. As if he weren't dead, and had as much business going about his worldly affairs as the next person. I got the feeling that he approved of my writing endeavor.
I tried my best to make him a whole person in my book, to create a nuanced and complete portrait. By the time Jesus Land went to press in Fall 2005, I felt I'd accomplished this goal. I had managed to create, so I thought, the definitive account of my brother.
But then the emails started coming. People who knew David and had read my book sent me their own recollections of my brother. These, by turn, baffled and thrilled me. How could I possibly be learning new things about my brother two decades after his death?
A few examples:
A neighbor girl now woman wrote that David used to leave notes on her towel when she sunbathed in her front yard, waiting until she ducked inside for a drink or to use the toilet to deliver his missives.
What am I to make of this? I picture my brother hiding behind a tree, watching a girl in a bikini and must remind myself that he was not a creep. He was an awkward, lovesick teenager. That he was Black in rural, snow-white Indiana, and more than a little gun-shy from a long line of unrequited crushes.
An email from my former pastor addressed the same topic. Over lunch at a pizza joint one day, "David wanted to talk about his feeling that he never seemed to fit in with other people," my former pastor wrote. "He was black, but he didn't talk and act like black people. He didn't want to....When he started thinking about dating and girls, he said 'who would ever want me? The black girls will think I'm too white and the white girls will think I'm too black.'"
It was the conundrum of his life. Never being enough of one thing, always being too much of another. Black, adopted, beaten down. All those squirmy topics we never discussed and I so wished we had.
"I lost touch with Dave after he started doing things I didn't want to get involved in," wrote one of his high school chums. Repeated emails asking the sender what, specifically, he was referring to went unanswered. Drugs? Street theater? Plasma donation? (I know David did sell plasma at one low point.) And the message brought up additional questions: Did I have a right to know anything about my brother that he didn't reveal to me himself? Was this a post-mortem invasion of his privacy?
Another reader said he met David shortly before his death. He had purchased the house in town that we abandoned upon moving to the country. One spring day, the man wrote, David drove up with a couple of young men and rang the doorbell as his friends waited in the car. "He wanted to prove to his friends that he had indeed grown up in a magnificent, grand house," the man wrote. (Indeed, the house was a lovely, windowed, three-story affair.) Reading into the tone of his message, I suspected the new owner didn't quite believe that a black youngster ever lived there, either. It was something David ran up against every day of his life, people's assumptions based solely on his surface color.
These emails made me realize that there is no way to contain a person in a book. David's life was much too far-reaching and intricate to be summed up in 350 tidy pages. But by writing down my best recollections of him, I believe I gave him depth and soul.
Since Jesus Land was published, I have received hundreds of emails from readers around the world saying they feel as if they knew my brother, and mourn his death. This is the greatest response I could hope for. David is cherished by more people than he could ever imagine. He would be flattered.

Can you please be a little bit more specific what "it doesn't want to work" means? :-)
As mentioned in posting #22 in this thread, for me the symptom was that the Acer displays
only recognized 1680x1024 (check with on-screen-display) so that the lower 26 lines have
been missing and the 1024 visible lines have been stretched to the 1050 native lines
of the LCD, causing ugly moire patterns. The situation was the same, on Linux and with
Windows when using the default timings. Especially for windows, the taskbar was not
within the visible range - very annoying! Is this what you are observing, too?
If true, then you may give the Nvidia control panel on windows a try to adjust the
vertical blanking time. For details on how to get to the timings setting dialog,
please follow the instruction in this posting:
I used this to retrieve the timing information on Windows so that i could create
the appropriate modelines for Linux (however, not fully functional on Linux until
increasing the vertical blanking time). If i remember correctly, there have been
up/down buttons so that you could indeed modify the values (but i didn't tried
that out).
What i needed to do to get my Acer LCD working was to change the vertical blanking
timing from 1066 to 1073. Additionally, i increased the pixel clock from 326.66MHz to
328.80MHz in order to compensate the frame rate reduction caused by
increasing the vertical timing (at least, there should be 57Hz, right?).
The hard drive with the Windows installation is somewhere in a drawer right now
and it would take me some time to setup everything, again. So can you please
try that out and report the results?

Letters: energy, Breen, courthouse project and more
Our society, culture and demographics are changed and so should the election process. There is a simple, solution that should make the process much easier. I propose the "American Presidential Idol." All candidates will compete over eight weeks. They can sing, dance, or simply demonstrate why they should be president. Each week citizens can vote by calling, tweeting or texting until we get down to the final two candidates. The Idol judges can take the place of the Electoral College.
We can eliminate months of campaigning and the circus atmosphere that goes along with it. Just think of all the energy saved by not having candidates flying all over the country followed by the media. More importantly, elected officials will have so much more time to do what they're paid to do – governing! – Jay Berger, San Diego
The prince of fools was re-elected by his sycophantic flock of lemmings, thus keeping the inmates still in charge of the asylum. Obama's victory was the second-worst thing (in modern history) to happen to America! The first-worst thing was his victory in 2008.
John Boehner's leadership is questionable. The phony golf foursome "just a golf game" comes to mind. And whatever happened to pelosi's expensive jet?
D.C. is in dire need of some investigative reporters and, for god's sake, some prosecuting attorneys. – Junious D. Montgomery, Carlsbad
We need to reseat the Senate. The current situation of the two major parties separated like the opposing teams on a football field creates that oh-so-human characteristic of us against them, with the team leaders watching carefully to see that everyone follows the "party line." We, the voting public, need to insist that these bozos we've elected are free to follow the path they promised us during the campaign and are not manipulated, browbeaten and forced into voting as a bloc. I think they should be seated alphabetically with hidden buttons to push for either "yea" or "nay." Then let's see what happens to the "fiscal cliff." – John Preston, Alpine
Solid idea, but logistics falter
In response to "ViaSat nets cyber security contract for Marines" (Business, UTSanDiego.com, Nov. 30): I would like to call into question the viability of using smartphones as replacements for radios, as well as point out questions in Pentagon budgeting with regards to the very popular, proper and necessary idea of cutting government spending.
The concept behind the project, letting service personnel use their cell phones for communication and contribution of information at a fraction of the cost of handheld radios, is a solid one, until, I believe, one delves into the logistics of the undertaking. Firstly, there is the fact that this software is being developed for the Android operating system. While it is true that just over 50 percent of the over 240 million American cellphone users own a smartphone and this number has been steadily rising, this figure split between users of Android devices, Apple products, Blackberries and many other, smaller makers such as HTC, and Android users make up less than half of that number. This would mean the owners of iPhones and all other cellphones in the service would be excluded from this potentially excellent idea, which may also end up granting an edge to Android phone carriers and makers on the competitive market.

Red Storm Entertainment[1] (also known as Ubisoft Red Storm) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ubisoft Entertainment, specializing in video games and related merchandise, mainly based on the works of the writer Tom Clancy. The company develops and markets their own video games. The headquarters for Red Storm is currently located in Cary, North Carolina.
Tom Clancy and Doug Littlejohns, a British Royal Navy submarine captain, founded Red Storm Entertainment in 1996. Originally part of Virtus, the company released its first game – Tom Clancy's Politika, the first in the Power Plays series – in 1997. Based in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, Red Storm quickly gained a reputation with games like Dominant Species, one of the first 3D realtime strategy games. However, it was with Rainbow Six (1998) that the company firmly established itself commercially. In contrast to the run-and-gun first person shooters (FPS) that had gone before, Rainbow Six was the first true tactical FPS, a game that rewarded patience and planning as well as good aim and a keen eye. Developed alongside the novel of the same name, Rainbow Six introduced terms like "one shot, one kill" and "tango down" into the gamer lexicon. Its ground-breaking multiplayer action, including a new form of cooperative gameplay, set the standard for tactical multiplayer.
Red Storm followed on the success of Rainbow Six with a mission pack, Eagle Watch, and then in 2000 with a sequel, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. The company also expanded into turn-based strategy (ruthless.com and Shadow Watch) and military RTS (Force 21). In August 2000, Ubisoft purchased the studio.[2] At the time of the sale, Red Storm was already producing Ghost Recon.
Released in 2001, Ghost Recon won multiple "Game of the Year" awards. The Xbox version also marked the first time RSE ventured into in-house console development, and was the first[citation needed] Xbox Live title to truly take advantage of the possibilities of console multiplayer. Follow-up add-ons like Island Thunder continued to expand the world of the Ghosts, while Red Storm itself grew and moved offices to a new location in Morrisville, North Carolina. By 2003, Ubisoft was ready to consolidate its North Carolina operations. Ubisoft's other area studio, Sinister Games in downtown Raleigh, was integrated into Red Storm, with the central base of operations remaining at the Morrisville location.
In 2004, Red Storm released Ghost Recon 2, the follow-up to the original game, designed by now Lead Designer Christian Allen. Delivered on Xbox, it signaled the company's transition to primarily console development. It produced an add-on, Summit Strike, in 2005, which moved the action to Kazakhstan, as well as downloadable content, something which would become a hallmark[citation needed] of the franchise. More recently, Red Storm has developed the multiplayer aspects of both iterations of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series. It won the BAFTA's Game of the Year and Best Technical Achievement awards in 2006.

The proximal leg muscles of decapod crustaceans, controlling movements at the first two joints, are anatomically more complex than the better-studied distal leg muscles. Despite extensive research on their involvement in diverse behaviors, no complete descriptions of the anatomy and innervation of these muscles for any species have been published. We describe the anatomy and innervation of the depressor muscle in the second leg of the squat lobster Munida quadrispina and compare its anatomy with that of its homologue in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii and its antagonist, the levator, in both species. Of the six anatomically distinct heads comprising M. quadrispina's depressor muscle, one arises in the coxa (coxal head) and five are bi-articular (cross two joints), arising from widely dispersed sites on the thoracic endophragmal skeleton (dorsal, sternal, caudal, ventral-rostral, ventral-caudal heads). The heads' widely divergent force vectors are accommodated by the depressor apodeme's bifurcation at a thin flexible point. In total, eighteen neurons with central somata were backfilled from nerve branches to the heads. The common inhibitor and at least one neuron of unknown function with rostro-lateral soma and extremely sparse neurites innervate all heads. The sixteen excitatory motoneurons' somata are clustered in two locations, five rostral and eleven caudal to the neuropil. Rostral motoneurons innervate the two ventral heads (rostral and caudal). Their integrating segments lie rostral to those of the caudal group motoneurons and are straight or 'Y'-shaped, the latter longer and larger in diameter. Both morphological types have one prominent medial neurite that crosses the midline and could allow direct interaction between bilateral pairs of rostral motoneurons. The caudal motoneurons provide partially shared innervation to the remaining four heads. Six provide exclusive innervation, one to the caudal head, two to the sternal head, and three to the bi-articular dorsal head and uni-articular coxal head which share innervation. Of the remaining five caudal motoneurons, two are shared by the caudal head and the dorsal-coxal pair of heads and three are shared by the caudal and sternal heads. P. clarkii has two depressor muscles; the rostral depressor has a single head morphologically similar to the ventral rostral head in M. quadrispina; the caudal depressor muscle has four heads (dorsal, coxal, caudal, sternal) that insert on the large caudal depressor apodeme. The overall organization of depressor muscle heads in P. clarkii and M. quadrispina is similar, taking into consideration the different internal and external thoracic anatomies and the different resting stances, horizontal and tilted, respectively. As in other species, M. quadrispina and P. clarkii have two levator muscles, each with an apodeme of complex structure attributable to the levators' role in leg autotomy. The caudal levator arises in the coxa; it has two heads in M. quadrispina, but only one in P. clarkii. In both species the rostral levator has three heads all arising within the thorax. Divergent force vectors and partially independent innervation of different heads composing complex musculature at single joints constitute an anatomical level of organization that neural mechanisms must accommodate to produce adaptive movements.

He was a good stay at home defenseman until the last lock out brought changes to the game and his style of play was quickly marginalized. He wasn't the only one. Lots of rugged defensemen lost their jobs due to anti obstruction policies in the game. Guys like Hatcher, and Simpson. Nick Boynton was an All Star and quickly became a 7th D.
Bissonnette does not have a prayer as a D in the NHL. I personally think he has the ability to be an excellent 4th LW. I really do. I just don't think it will be for Dave Tippett on a team like Phoenix. We need too much out of our fourth line. In Edmonton he'd be great. In Philly he'd be great. Not here, though. Not now, anyway.

Shell Centerpiece {Porch Projects}
With a couple of flags tucked in for the fourth…
I layered a bed of moss in the bottom of the shell, scattered my antique fishing floats and then tucked in some oyster shells. I added two votives, which are quite lovely in the evening.
Thanks for sticking around throughout porch project week! We getting ready to hit the road for our annual Rosemary Beach vacation. Bear with me as I soak up the sun and spend time with the family!
Au revoir,

SORENSON: Great horned owls build a dilemma at Lowe's
Great horned owls never build nests. Instead, they commandeer another bird's former abode, perhaps that of a hawk or crow. Or they choose a tree cavity or snag.
Or maybe they opt for a deserted building.
So it was that a pair of great horneds chose for their nursery the garden center at Lowe's on Evansville's East Side. The pair likely thought they'd found the perfect deserted building with a good roof and easy access. In fact, in early January, when the owls moved in, they found a ready nest: a pallet of lawn fertilizer stored high and dry, a safe and comfy indentation in the middle, protected from rain, snow and ice.
No one noticed. After all, no one visits an empty garden center in January.
But then preparations began for the upcoming garden season. One evening just after dark, an employee noticed an owl zip out. Just a fluke, he thought. Then others noticed regular owl activity. Since the female never leaves the nest after she lays her first egg, she relies on her mate to feed her. Employees were witnessing the comings and goings of the male.
Finally one day, someone discovered the female on her "nest," high up, almost out of sight.
And the problems began.
Nothing in the corporate rule book guided manager Jason Atherton about what to do next.
Great horned owls with babies turn aggressive and readily rake open the scalps of anyone they consider a threat — even the most benign lady choosing spring begonias. The situation needed remedying.
Lowe's corporate office got involved — their public relations group, their legal department and their sustainability division. Federally protected birds or their nests or eggs can't be destroyed, and it's illegal to harass them. So what to do?
Enter the law enforcement division of the Department of Natural Resources, Mike Kellner.
"It's understandable that this could be a problem," Kellner said. "We do have to address public safety."
Still, Kellner said, "It takes time to get things lined up." He went to work, filing the necessary papers.
By now, though, 45 days had passed since the owl laid her first egg. She has a baby, although the second egg never hatched.
As drama built and as Lowe's corporate staff pushed for speediness, the necessary permits finally arrived. Early on Sunday morning, when staff and the public wouldn't disturb the operation, Lauren Preske, director of education at Wesselman Woods, and two licensed falconers captured the owlet.
By law, however, rescued birds must be transferred to a federal- and state-licensed rehabilitator, in this case one who can raise the owlet to be released to the wild. Enter Elizabeth Hatton at For the Birds of Indiana in Westfield, Ind., just north of Indianapolis.
Preske delivered the bird to her safe hands.
Atherton is grateful for the solution to a complicated problem.
"The owl became a bit of a mascot for all of us here, and I've learned quite a lot about owls over the past month. We've been told that by moving the hatchling now, we've given the owlet its best chance of survival — about 90 percent."
Those may be better chances than if the owlet were exposed to predation in the wild.
Surely, though, the adult owls, having tended eggs for over a month, must feel the loss.
The pair was spotted returning to the nest for about a day but haven't been seen since.
This is not much different from babies taken in the wild, only this time the predators were human and this time the owlet has a good chance of doing well when it is returned to the wild in late summer.
A lifelong area resident and backyard birder, Sharon Sorenson lives on a three-acre certified backyard wildlife habitat and has more than 150 bird species on her yard list. Email her at email@example.com.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
With the market now saturated with interesting and appealing natural products, it is imperative to stand out. You could try to have sales reps standing in every aisle of every natural store to highlight the benefits of your product. Or, you could let your packaging do the talking for you. A well-designed, professional look is more than a pretty picture; done well, packaging will put your best foot forward, showing customers why they should care about your story and your unique products.
According to the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI), over 400 registered green logos exist worldwide (1). Most consumers say they are more likely to buy products with green seals, says NMI (1), and there are good reasons why. Certifications help a product standout in saturated markets.
Deerland Enzymes just launched PrefixPro, a prebiotic that promotes digestive health by stimulating probiotic growth. Unlike fiber- or starch-based prebiotics, PrefixPro requires a much smaller dosage and shorter time period to be effective. It works in both intestines, is not sensitive to specific environmental conditions of the gut and doesn't cause flatulence.
Nutraceuticals International Group now offers SlimPro (a fish peptide enriched with BCAAs), which helps increase CCK and GLP-1 production. These molecules send messages to the brain to control hunger, eating and nibbling, and therefore may help control calorie intake. Applications include tablets, capsules, soft gels, stick packs, protein shakes, soft beverages and baked goods.
Jost Chemical Company now offers microencapsulated materials including Jost Copper Gluconate USP, Jost Ferrous Fumarate USP, Jost Manganese Sulfate USP/EP, Ferrous Sulfate USP, Magnesium Oxide USP and Zinc Oxide USP. Potential applications include chewable tablets and capsules, premixes and nutritional bars.
WILD Flavors, Inc. now distributes Immunel. Fast-acting Immunel helps "instruct" the immune system, thus providing a targeted immune response. It helps increase the number and vigor of immune cells that respond to microbial/bacterial invaders, supporting phagocytosis and activating NK cells. Immunel is clinically tested.
Alchem USA Inc. launched ReQollect Solution, a concentrated liquid vinpocetine suitable for use in beverages (including dairy, juices, functional waters and shots) to enhance memory and alertness by supporting blood circulation in the brain. The company says the ingredient would also be beneficial in pre-workout formulations to improve focus and coordination.
Kemin has launched AssuriTEA Men's Health, a proprietary formula of catechins and theaflavins that supports urological health. The formula contains a blend of water-extracted green and black tea varieties from fully traceable plant sources. The formula does not cause gastrointestinal distress.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/13/12
PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Atlanta Hawks made sure the first non-sellout Rose Garden crowd in nearly five years went home unhappy Monday night. The Hawks withstood a fourth-quarter Portland rally to beat the Trail Blazers 95-87. Josh Smith collected 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead Atlanta, which lost 89-76 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday at Staples Center. The Blazers rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit to take the lead midway through the final quarter, but Atlanta closed the game on a 10-0 run to win going away. Portland failed to score after LaMarcus Aldridge's free throw gave the Blazers an 87-85 lead with 2:50 remaining. "A gutsy win by our guys," Atlanta coach Larry Drew said. "We fell into a similar situation (Sunday) night in L.A., where we collapsed in the fourth quarter. Tonight we weathered the storm." The game ended the Blazers' 195-game streak of selling out the 20,500-seat Rose Garden. The run began in December 2007. The Hawks (3-3) had five play...

College Basketball Betting: Illinois vs. Ohio State Pick
- Updated: February 20, 2012
In what might amount to be one of the last chances that Head Coach Bruce Weber has to save his job, he will lead his Illinois Fighting Illini into battle looking for an upset on the NCAA basketball odds on Tuesday night against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Join the BTB Expert Handicappers right now! Click Here for our guaranteed college basketball picks
At just 16-11, the argument could be made that the Illini are toast. They are just 5-9 in conference play, and though they do have home wins over both these Buckeyes and the Michigan State Spartans, they also have five straight losses as well, including a simply dreadful 80-57 loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the road on Saturday. Offensively, this team has just lost whatever it was able to muster against OSU. That day, the Illini dropped 79 points. Since then, they have six games in which they haven't exceeded 63 points out of nine tussles. The opportunities are still there for some upsets, though, and victories in games like this one or the last game of the season at the Wisconsin Badgers could change some minds, especially if the two home games sandwiched in the middle both end in victories. One way or the other though, Illinois is up against it, knowing that there is only one team in the history of the NCAA Tournament to get into the field as an at large with a losing record in conference, and that is seemingly a given at this point. Weber is most certainly on the hot seat and perhaps should be canned.
Ohio State isn't going to be showing any mercy after losing in Champaign in the middle of January. It might be a tall task for the Buckeyes to become a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but finishing the year at perhaps 28-6 with the Big Ten title might be enough to get the job done. Winning a game like this one seems to be a pre-requisite. The Bucks have dropped two out of three though, including games against both the Michigan Wolverines (on the road) and the Michigan State Spartans (at home). The MSU loss was the last time that the faithful here at Value City Arena saw their team play, and with OSU sporting a 9-4 ATS mark in this building, it is once again another sign that Illinois is up against it on Tuesday night. Even though Ohio State was beaten earlier this year by this team, there were no answers for its bigs. Jared Sullinger and Deshaun Thomas combined for 44 points and 11 boards, though Sullinger did fight some rare foul trouble in this game.
The Final Word: The Illini likely aren't losing their last four games of the year, and they are certainly going to be getting a double-digit head start from the oddsmakers in this one, but we just don't see how this one is going to be even remotely close. This is a very angry Ohio State outfit that is surely going to want to put its best foot forward on Tuesday night, and the end result is going to see it romping at home over a hapless Illinois outfit.

Whether it be that the 67's are a middle-of-the-road team or a squad that happens to get opportune victories against weak division rivals, the Barberpoles are safely a playoff team for the time being.
The powerhouse Kingston Frontenacs notwithstanding, Ottawa boasts a 4-0-0 record against division rivals Peterborough and Belleville, who have combined for only 10 wins in a combined 33 games played.
Where Ottawa once dominated their archrival Kingston for years, the Frontenacs hold the clear edge now, but it isn't as one-sided as a 67's season series may have been last season against teams ranked highly in the CHL.
In their last game in October, the Barberpoles came away empty-handed in their best effort of the year, narrowly dropping a 2-1 decision to Kingston.
A year ago, Ottawa surrendered 21 goals against to the CHL's top-ranked Ontario team, limiting that to eight so far this year. The 67's dropped a 5-1 decision to the other ranked team in Guelph.
Roughed up defence
Ottawa's d-core came across hard times when Taylor Davis, Adrian Sloboda and Mike Vlajkov all got hurt.
Somehow, every injury turned into a longer one than expected.
Vlajkov's surgery is now likely a season-ending one, Sloboda's gone from a seven-to-10 day injury to a 60-to-90 day, while Davis is likely out for a couple of months.
In picking up local products Ryan Duhaime and Owen Stewart, Ottawa fills out their defence and likely gets what they most needed in Stewart, a defenceman willing to battle in front of his own net.
The Magic Bullet
Joseph Blandisi may have been Ottawa's only true candidate to take part in the OHL-Russia Super Series, and after being left out, it seems as though he's trying to stick it to the Ontario team's selection staff.
Blandisi's 12 goals in 15 games jumps off the page, but it's the timing of his goals that mean so much more to the team.
"He's a clutch player," said head coach Chris Byrne. "He's our go-to guy up front. He plays with some grit and some determination, that's his style."
Three of his 12 goals have been third period game winning markers, while he tied the Kingston game late in the third period before the team surrendered another lead.
.500 Trudeau
Philippe Trudeau has been the steadying, average netminder Ottawa knew they were picking up from the Quebec league.
Facing over 35 shots a night on average, he's taken over as starting netminder over Jacob Blair, pulled twice in just five appearances this season.
If Ottawa's home-heavy start weren't enough, they return home to play four consecutive home games in nine days. In taking on the likes of Oshawa and London, they'll get a true taste of taking on contenders.

From the acclaimed author of Peach Blossom Pavilion comes a lush and lyrical novel of East and West--and of one young woman's search for her heart's true calling. . .
When twenty-year-old Meng Ning declares that she wants to be a Buddhist nun, her mother is aghast. In her eyes, a nun's life means only deprivation--"no freedom, no love, no meat." But to Meng Ning, it means the chance to control her own destiny, and to live in an oasis of music, art, and poetry far… (more)

I have primary custody of my 10 yr old...
My daughter and I just recently moved here from Austin I'm March. I have primary custody of my 11 yr old daughter and feel this is important to know from the beginning. I tend to lead a balanced type of lifestyle between being active in the outdoors and sports and spending time at home playing with my daughter. I really enjoy all different types of music, movies, outdoor activities and trying new things. I love spending time with my daughter and showing her new things and experiencing those things with her. I am very diverse and can usually have fun doing just about anything. I love going to shows, both theatrical and live music, hang out with friends and do things I normally wouldn't see myself doing. I can also be just as happy sitting at home watching a movie or sitting on a deck with friends. I love to laugh and make other people around me laugh, even though its usually at my expense. I am an optimist and always try to see the good in people. My friends would tell you I'm very loyal and always there when they need me. Quote from my daughter and my conversation tonight: Her: "Daddy, I got a brain freeze." Me: " It's ok it's small. It will defrost fast." Her: " not funny..." We joke and kid around all the time.

Glad you are back. Anything specific you were frustrated with we might be able to eliminate the frustration from?
THe globe that is surrounding her, if you use mroe specularity, it would give it more definition, so it looks less flat.

My DAZ 3D Gallery 11915
If this is your second render ever, then you're in the right track I would say
As was already suggested by chohole, you might want to add a better material to the globe, so that it looks more like glass (unless you weren't looking for that effect).
@ Sean Riesch - Thanks, and honestly it was the whole program just getting used to it's way of doing things I sometimes don't have the best of patience
@ chohole - thanks that has helped a great deal I am still learning what everything does.
@ MrSilus - Thank you I tried using a glass material on the globe but it made the interior rather dark. But now that I think about it that could be because I didn't change any of the transparency settings yes I am a newbie.
JK0011 - 11 April 2013 03:40 PM@ Sean Riesch - Thanks, and honestly it was the whole program just getting used to it's way of doing things I sometimes don't have the best of patience
I know what you mean. I had that also in the beginning - it changed the moment I looked at the interface as some sort of an adventure game where there are many treasures hidden.
** [ Stuff by David Brinnen and myself ] ** [ My DAZ 3D Gallery ] ** [ My Website ] ** OPC 4565 **
@JK001: I'm also one of those who got frustrated and left Bryce alone for some time. Decided to give it another try one day, since I was wanting something to do on the computer, and found a lot of tutorials that really helped. David and Horo have several on You Tube that really helped. Plus, I was starting to see results. As to your image, it would also benefit from shadows that would be seen behind the globe base. And if you adjusted the transparency a bit more you could even get light to go through the globe and hit the ground behind the globe. And maybe a different sky to give the scene a brighter look? Unless you want it as shown. But for your second attempt, that's a darn good image.
wip 1
had a quick try. Used a glass mat with a combo of 100% specularity and 35% reflection, trans at 75% and refraction at an index of 100. I was actually quite pleased that I got the reflection on the glass to look as though she had a flare in her hand.
@Pam: Nice results. To me it seems the figure has a bit of transparency. Could that be because of the settings for the globe material?
well I came across this thread and may enter something.
I've been messing around with bryce for years on and off, at least 10 I'd say. I was messing around with it the other day, and this is one of the things I came up with….
not my best work, but it was modeled in hexagon.
@user: That's a pretty image. Love the reflections on the water.
this one's just for fun, but I'll probably bring in some more serious renders when I have the time to work on them in detail.
It's titled…."Let's make some new beginnings baby…..in my pants!"

Spectacular, UnderratedPosted on 01 / 03 / 2015
Another vegan gem in Koenji...totally wonderful place. The food is top-notch...ingredients, menu, taste, preparation...all superb. And extremely reasonable prices for the quality. If you happen to come during lunch, the menu is limited to a few selections (all great) but they do offer their mixed grain-veggie platter as one choice...one of the most delicious, healthy, nicely-presented vegan meals I ever had. The evening menu is much broader (also includes rare items like black-bean hummus...delicious).
The folks are great and the atmosphere is also lovely...very homelike and relaxing. Location is also relatively convenient, quite close to Koenji station. The one caution is just that the place is fairly small. Also, be careful of the business hours...as currently listed above is wrong (they are generally closed on Mon-Tues, and Wed is only dinner). I have requested an update of the hours but if in doubt, best to confirm directly on their site (easy to check calendar on the front page).
I'm resisting the urge to gush again, but will just say that Meunota is one of the best vegan restaurants I've found in Japan. Actually, even though it has generally high ratings, I'm still a bit shocked that this place doesn't have much more visibility...it is seriously underrated. Anyway, I can't fault any of it...easily max stars, max recommendation. Do not miss.

Great addition to my wardrobe
By LORI
from CALGARY
I love these pieces. They don't add any bulk to your look but do add a bit of style!I also like that they provide modesty for so many of the tops that are sold now.
Love, Love , Love These!
By IRENE
from MINDEN
I have several cross-over tops--now I don't have to use a safety pin or brooch to stay modest. Not only are they functional, they are pretty as well. They fit perfectly.

Perfect for preserving modesty
By Smadma
from Edmonton, AB
I have been looking for something like this for a long time and am thrilled with this product. I wear them under my cross over/plunging summer dresses so that i remain on this side of modest/acceptable while at work. These offer coverage without the bulk. I'd love to see more colors/variations of these.

Welcome to the West Toronto Photography group!
We have fun hands on and engaging workshops for ALL levels of photographer
We offer the best workshops possible for the money
We pre-shoot and plan our workshops to allow for a quick paced educational and fun workshop. We do more specific lighting in an hour and a half then some 4 hr workshops do!
FREE Parking out front of our building and on the surrounding streets
What we offer from our unpretentious and engaging workshops:
• Time is money, and we want everyone to get the most of their experience! That's why we hold smaller classes; to allow for short, information packed sessions that maximize the shooting time for each participant.
• A safe and comfortable, yet professional environment for everyone to gather, network, and of course, to take photos!
• An over-head pantograph lighting system to allow for more floor space and faster, more elaborate, lighting set ups.
• An array of light modifiers such as; reflectors, umbrellas, soft-boxes, grids, snoots, and beauty dishes.
• Multiple, quick, one-on-one sessions with the model(s) to optimize your chances of getting that "perfect" shot- No turkey shoots!
"What should I bring to the session?!"
First thing's first; you need your camera! Any model DSLR camera with a working hot-shoe is perfect! *
Fresh batteries! (No one loves a dead battery, YIKES!)
Formatted memory cards to ensure you can take as many lovely photos as possible!
Your favorite lens; anything from 10mm-200mm will work just fine!
Don't forget to bring your passion for great photography and a thirst for knowledge!
We will bring the fun! (WOO HOO!)
* In order to utilize the off-camera lights for our sessions, your DSLR camera must have a working flash hot-shoe for the wireless transmitter. Please consult your manual to see if your camera will work. Or feel free to drop me a quick line to discuss it by email. The studio uses Elinchrome Flashes and Paul Buff triggers so that everything is functional for almost everyone!
Who should take our sessions?
Our sessions are perfect for photographers who have a basic knowledge of their camera and its manual settings (don't worry -we will give you the F-stop and shutter speed for perfect results!). They are also suitable for any level of photographer looking to dive into different styles of photography, learn some great lighting set ups, and have some FUN!
We also hold workshops that are geared towards intermediate and advanced level photographers; they are more interactive and implement even more strategies to help your professional photo shoots, look and flow better!
Sony/Minolta DSLR Owners:
ATTENTION!!!! Sony uses a proprietary hot-shoe for their cameras; you will need to bring your own hot shoe adapter to attach to your camera so our studio's wireless trigger can communicate with your camera

What I didn't like was the tendency in the trailer to have

. This trend happens
all the time
in trailers and is not limited to this film, but it usually happens in trailers for movies that think of themselves as somehow more
or more deserving.
I hate it
. Are they afraid to just let us
watch something
? Are they afraid of brave trailer editing that I think was actually much better five years ago than it is now?
What would you have preferred, a techno soundtrack with cuts every half second?
So you weren't annoyed and distracted by all the fadeouts? There were so many of them, it's like they were trying to be funny! I usually don't notice stuff like that, so when I do notice it, there's a problem. I shouldn't be consciously aware of fade-outs, it's like when the music is so bad that you notice it.
It's probably an artifact of the type of movie this is. It's not one with action set pieces, probably not one with lots of great one-liners. It looks like it hinges very much on specific conversations between the people involved, and I can see how it would be hard to form an interesting trailer from out-of-context quotes like that.
Besides, this doesn't strike me as the kind of film where the trailer is going to make or break it. It's Spielberg, it's Lincoln, it's Daniel Day-Lewis. Either you're into that or you're not, trailer be damned.
You wish you could move like this.
I has a blag.
