Join John Derry, a pioneer in the field of digital painting, as he shows how to master the natural-media painting features introduced in Photoshop CS5 in Photoshop CS5: Painting with the Mixer Brush. This course shows how to use the Mixer Brush, the Bristle Tips feature, and a new mechanism for blending colors in Photoshop to add beautiful, painterly effects to photographs, enhance artwork with paint-like strokes and illustrations, and paint entirely new art from scratch. This course also covers customizing brush characteristics and surface textures, applying keyboard shortcuts to paint smoothly and efficiently, and using a Wacom tablet to get the most out of Photoshop CS5's painting features. Exercise files are included with the course.
The appearance of grain or texture within painted strokes is but one visual cue that the brush is painting on a surface. Another visual cue is the result of highlight and shadowing on a 3D surface. In this video, I'll show you how to easily introduce apparent surface sliding to your brushstrokes. Now, the basic trick behind this is taking advantage of layers and one of the layer effects that we can apply. And if I double-click on my layer, this brings up my Layer Style panel.
And I'm going to select Bevel and Emboss. And I'm also going to check Contour. Now, one of the things about the way this works, you have to first set this up to look like something before you can paint strokes, but it's most likely that you're wanting to make adjustments to that. Let's just take the default settings here. And on this layer, I'll start to paint. And you can see now that it looks like these strokes have highlights and shadows. If I turn this on and off, you can see the difference between what it looks like without and with.
So without, we get just what looks like flat paint. With it on, it imbues the strokes with a three-dimensional character. Now, once you see this, you can go back into Bevel and Emboss and start to make some changes to it. And I find it's almost universal that when you start playing with this, you tend to go a little nuts and give it more than it really should have. You don't want this to overly attract the eye. You just want it to be visible enough that it does add some dimensionality to the strokes, but not making it something that actually ends up being distracting.
You can see here, I've got it down to the minimum settings, and I can still see it. I may want to adjust it, but I don't want to make it too strong. The other thing we can do is, in the Shading, I can control the opacity of both the highlights and the shadows. And you can see onscreen how that does make a difference. So that is yet another control you have. Also, you can play with the location of the lighting angle. I found I kind of like it directly above, roughly a 90 degree angle. Then you can also play with how straight above the lighting is, and the farther it is offset to the side, the more you're going to get a side angle on that lighting, and it will enhance the look of the strokes to be a bit more apparent.
Now, the good news is once you set this up, this is all nondestructive. So you could paint an entire painting looking at your imagery as if it were 3D like this, and later on you may the next day say, boy, I really went too far with this. So you can always open up this and decide, I need to tone this down a bit. Maybe I need to reduce the amount of highlight and shadow, or maybe the shadow lighting is too strong, but you can always go back and change it. The other thing I'll tell you that's really useful is, once you've done this, just go ahead, if you want to work with multiple layers, and make a copy, and go ahead and select All Delete to get rid of this.
And now I've got a new layer. Let's take in another color here. And now I can start painting on this layer with its own three-dimensional effects. Now, why would you do this? What you'll see here - I'll do this with some darker shade of color - what happens is there isn't an infinite amount of depth to the 3D channel, and as a result, light strokes will show 3D - and maybe we want to attenuate it here just a little bit to get across what I'm talking about. I'll go ahead and turn these up, and that should do it.
So it looks like 3D, but once you kind of overlay all these strokes, you can see, it just flattens back out. So it actually works to have some gaps in your brushstrokes. So more thinly populated bristles and also letting texture show through really helps. And I do want to show you, I played around a bit, and I found that in the Photoshop default set, this third one, which is Burlap, makes for a very good texture that works well with adding the Bevel and Emboss to your 3D strokes.
Finally, if you want to take this one step further, we can go in, once again, double-click on the layer and add a drop shadow. And you can play around with how far away this drop shadow is, how soft it is. But let's do that. And now I'll create another layer with that. And once again, we'll do Ctrl+ Alt+Delete or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. So now I've got a new layer I can paint on. Let's take a color here. And now I'm painting with 3D shadows. And to be able to actually see this while you're painting is really neat.
So it gives you a way to do a very kind of interesting abstract illusionist effect as you paint. And as you build up more and more layers, you can keep offsetting the shadow distance by a greater degree and reducing its opacity, and you can get a very realistic effect of what looks like multiple floating layers of paint strokes in a shallow 3D environment. So you can take advantage of the layer effects to add some interesting qualities to your brushstrokes, particularly when you're working with texture, to add things like Bevel and Emboss for three- dimensionality and Drop Shadows to even make your strokes appear to be floating in a shallow three-dimensional space.
So I think once you play around with this, you'll find this is a very powerful add-on to getting some interesting effects with your brushes that you wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve.

Odigo, AOL fight over instant messaging connections

Puppet masters: Who controls the NetAugust 6, 1999
Start-up instant messaging firm Odigo and AOL have been engaged in an ongoing battle over AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). A day after Odigo announced that AOL had blocked its service from communicating with AIM users, the company today said it had regained interoperability. That means Odigo circumvented AOL's blockade and re-established a way for its customers to communicate with AIM Buddy Lists.
As previously reported, AOL's dominance of the instant messaging market is being investigated by the Federal Communications Commission as part of its review of AOL's planned $113 billion merger with Time Warner.
Instant messaging has been a contentious market. Technology companies allege that AOL has not kept up with its promises to help develop an instant messaging standard.
A formerly little-known technology, instant messaging has exploded in popularity recently. AOL recently boosted its AIM service to include 91 million registrants in its "Buddy List" network. AOL also owns ICQ, the second-most-popular instant messaging product, with 62.4 million registered users.
But shortly after Odigo's announcement this morning, AOL blocked the company again. In fact, the companies have gone through two rounds of blocking and connecting, putting the parties in a punching contest to see who will break first. As of this afternoon, Odigo is again interoperable with AIM.
"We'd rather stop fighting and start talking," said Avner Ronen, an Odigo founder. "But the thing is, they haven't returned any of our calls."
According to Ronen, Odigo can communicate with ICQ, another instant messaging service owned by AOL. Odigo has been interoperable with ICQ since January.
AOL spokeswoman Tricia Primrose reiterated recent statements about the company's policy toward unsolicited attempts by rivals to communicate with AIM users.
"Our policy is to block unauthorized access to our servers," Primrose said. "We will continue to block Odigo's efforts to access our servers to ensure the privacy and security of our members."
AOL's ongoing tussle with Odigo mirrors a similar fight last year with Microsoft. That battle was sparked when the software giant released its MSN Messenger service, which allowed customers to communicate with AIM Buddy Lists. But after a series of blocks and re-established access, Microsoft threw in the towel.
AOL has taken similar measures with online service Prodigy and Tribal Voice, which is owned by CMGI.
Instant messaging allows people to communicate in real time over the Internet. Most technologies produced by an array of companies are proprietary. But critics of AOL say the company should open its network to allow all technologies to communicate with one another.
Instant messaging rivals say AOL has not kept its promises to work toward an open standard for the technology, a claim that the online giant denies. Competitors want AOL to open its network of more than 91 million registered screen names. ICQ has 62 million registrations, making it the second-largest instant messaging service behind AIM.
Rivals have turned to federal regulators, asking them to examine instant messaging dominance when reviewing AOL's pending acquisition of Time Warner. The FCC yesterday said it sent a letter to AOL requesting information about its instant messaging services.
Net giants such as Yahoo are finding ways to establish their own standards. The portal is in discussions with companies including Microsoft and CMGI to create a group of interoperable technologies.
Odigo is also initiating discussions with other instant messaging companies to develop interoperability. But for now, the company's battle with AOL will continue until an accord is reached, Odigo's Ronen said.
"We really want to come into some sort of agreement with them that will provide our services with their users," he said.

"I wasn't evicted and stayed in the only home my kids ever knew. God bless you." – a Fairfax County area mom who received Financial Assistance from Our Daily Bread
Due to the lack of affordable housing in Fairfax County, many of our neighbors are just a paycheck away from being in serious financial trouble and possibly facing homelessness. Anything from a medical emergency to something as simple as car trouble can set a family back for months.

Sunday's Oscars telecast will feature the usual cadre of glitz and glamor as stars walk the red carpet. It will also have a sprinkling of sports thanks to Best Picture nominee, Moneyball, which was adapted from the Michael Lewis book and stars Brad Pitt. The movie garnered six nominations overall, including one for Pitt as Best Actor.
Moneyball attempts to join the three sports-themed movies that captured the Best Picture prize. They include: Rocky (1976), Chariots of Fire (1984) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). Like the Oakland A's, Moneyball is a long shot with the current odds on it winning at 40-1. The Artist is the overwhelming favorite.
Is Moneyball worthy of being considered one of the greatest sports movies ever? Many best sports movie lists start with Hoosiers at the top. The 1986 Gene Hackman film about small-town basketball in Indiana nabbed Oscar nods for Dennis Hopper (Supporting Actor) and Jerry Goldsmith (Original Score). Yet, it failed to get a Best Picture nomination, and neither Hopper nor Goldsmith won (Platoon was chosen as Best Picture).
Moneyball's Best Picture selection was certainly helped by the Academy Award's change two years ago to nominate 10 films in the Best Picture category versus five movies in previous years.
I'm a sucker for Hoosiers and it's at the top of my greatest sports movies list followed in no particular order by The Natural, Caddyshack, Bull Durham, and Major League. Hackman's speech in the clip below still gives me goosebumps.
So where does Moneyball rank on the list of all-time greatest sports movies? Better than Raging Bull or the movies above? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

It's time to conquer the day!
Let's face it: We live in a demanding and fast paced society. We have children to raise, sporting events to attend, meals to cook, jobs to work, lawns to mow, errands to run, and the list continues on. We have all the best intentions — but sometimes, we just lose our inspiration.
I admit, it's hard even for a trainer like myself — I sometimes have moments where I just don't want to do my workout or prepare my meals ahead of time. I just want to be lazy from time to time, too. However, once in a while that is OK, but if you are finding yourself lacking motivation on a daily basis, well … something has got to change.
Start Small
Start with a simply goal that you want to achieve, like eat more vegetables or attend a boot camp three times a week. Become consistent at a small goal before adding in more.
Focus on One Goal Completely
Let's go back to the boot camps or exercise class 3 times a week. Write it in your schedule WITH PEN, so you can't erase it and put something else in there.
We make a habit of overwhelming ourselves with this idea of losing 10 pounds by next Friday and we fall short. Start small, work at it, and become unfailing with that goal.
Examine Your Motivation
Do NOT make the mistake of depending on someone else to motivate you 100% of the time. You have to learn to get yourself moving towards your goals. Even when you have that perfect trainer that can get you to push yourself, you still have to depend on yourself to get to that trainer. You have to SHOW up for your own goals. So start talking to yourself in a positive way to keep your own drive going.
Be Passionate About it
Let's be real, if we're not passionate about something we won't find the time to do it and we won't put in the effort to do it effectively. You can't just go through the motions in this life. You have to push yourself and the easiest way to do that is to REALLY WANT IT!! Find out what you truly want: Is it to fit into that size-6 dress by that New Year's Eve party or get your blood pressure down? Are you passionate about gardening, then start your own vegetable garden and really get into it and eat healthier, too.
Commit Publically
If you keep your goal to yourself, no one will be there to keep you accountable. We all need accountability in our lives so make sure you announce your new goal to your family and friends. As a caution, though, only tell those that are able to encourage you, not negative people who will put you down. We need to surround ourselves by people that impact our lives in a positive way by supporting us, especially on days when we just don't want to do it!
Get Excited
Be excited about the change you are embarking on, embrace it, announce it and go after it. When you are excited it creates a BUZZ around you and gets everyone else excited. Others can't help but to share in your passion and that is motivating.
Build Anticipation
When others know what you are after they get just as excited about it as you are, they can't wait to hear your updates. Family and friends will start gathering around you asking you how much weight you lost this week or ask about what you did at that boot camp.
Print it Out, Post it Up
It's impossible to reach a goal if you're not reminded constantly what it is your after. Type up your goal, print it out, and post it where you can see it. I would post it everywhere; next to your night stand so you can read it before you go to bed, on your bathroom mirror so you can read it while you brush your teeth, on your fridge so you can remind yourself of how you need to eat today, and on your desk so you remember what's the important task to accomplish today.
There you have it: The keys to successfully motivating yourself! Every day is a new day so keep practicing it and stay positive. Strive towards them every day and stay focused on one goal at a time.
Conquer the day,

Mama King shares this fabulous idea for creating Easter bunny napkin rings with little more than felt and a toilet paper rolls. We just love projects that use recycled materials! These Easter bunny napkin rings are a great project to do with kids. Aren't they adorable?
Find this project and more in our free eBook, 14 Toilet Paper Roll Craft Ideas.
- Felt
- Paper Towel or Toilet Paper Roll cut about 2" wide
- Glue or Glue Gun
Felt pieces you will need:
- 1 strip of felt to cover roll
- 2 ears
- 2 ear inserts
- 2 eyes
- 1 nose
- 1 set teeth
Glue strip around roll first. If you are using regular craft glue clothes pins come in handy to hold the felt down as it dries.
Glue inserts into ears. I added a bead a glue to the base of the ears after assembled and folded in half. I clothespinned it to the roll.
Folding in half at base allows ear to open face forward.
Glue on features. If desired you can cut out a rounded v shaped notch for mouth area and glue teeth behind.
When dry - fold napkin into a square. Hold like a diamond.
Fold down top corner and fold in sides. Insert napkin into Bunny Ring.

ORLANDO - Magic forward Glen Davis just needed a little adversity to kick his game into high gear Monday night. It took a fourth personal foul, then getting knocked to the floor by Kevin Love early in the third period before Davis decided it was time to play, and he led the Magic through an inspired comeback and a 102-93 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Davis scored 28 points, including 20 in the second half following his late, wake-up call, as the upstart Magic (11-13) won their third consecutive game and moved closer to their goal of reaching the .500 mark. J.J. Redick added 18 points for the Magic. Center Nikola Vucevic had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Arron Afflalo had 13 points. Davis hit 13 of 17 shots, including seven straight after catching an inadvertent shoulder from Love that left him face down on the court for 15 seconds. "I was already fired up before that happened, but we needed this win tonight. I really wanted this one," Davis said. "It was a frustra...

Out of the Ego Chamber
By Jeremy Bernstein
According to Muslim legend, Adam, after he was forced to leave the Garden of Eden, made his way south through India and onto the island of Ceylon, where, later joined by Eve, he settled down to propagate the human race. Another version of the legend has it that Adam, for his disobedience, was hurled from Heaven and, as penance, stood for a thousand years on one foot on top of Adam's Peak, a remarkable 7,360-foot mountain that rises in a precipitous rock pyramid from the jungles and tea estates of central Ceylon. Indeed, at the summit of the mountain there is a shrine built around a rock that bears a curious footprint-like indentation, which Muslims take to be the footprint of Adam, and which Buddhists—who constitute about seventy per cent of the present population of the island—take to be the footprint of Gautama Buddha. Adam's Peak, which is visible for miles out to sea, was the landmark that guided the first Europeans, the Portuguese, to the island in 1505. They were looking for cinnamon, and they found, in addition, the decaying fragments of a great civilization created by the Sinhalese—the "lion race," of Indian descent, who had flourished on Ceylon for nearly two thousand years. The Sinhalese had constructed fantastic cities like Anuradhapura, which is said to have had, by the first century A.D., a population of several million, but by the time the Portuguese arrived the ancient cities had been largely reclaimed by the jungle, and the kingdom of the Sinhalese was weak and divided. The government of Ceylon had retreated to Kandy, in the highlands near Adam's Peak. (Kandy served as Mountbatten's headquarters during the Second World War and was one of the three principal locales of the film "The Bridge on the River Kwai," which was made entirely in Ceylon.) The Portuguese were never able to subjugate the island, although they claimed it in the name of their king. But their influence still manifests itself through the presence of the Catholic Church and in the many Portuguese family names, like de Silva. It was the Portuguese who named Colombo (after Christopher Columbus). However, their tenure was short-lived; beginning in the early seventeenth century, the Dutch East India Company, in alliance with the Kandy kings, drove the Portuguese out. At the end of the eighteenth century, the Dutch, in turn, gave way to the British East India Company; the British captured Colombo in 1795, and in 1802 Ceylon became a Crown Colony—a status it retained until 1948, when it became fully independent.

Is there a way to make Carbonite addon considered as "Tom Tom support can stay turned on"? Carbonite takes the TomTom arrow information sent by Archy and displays it with it's own arrow and path. The only problem is that on login Archy checks if there is TomTom enabled and turns off the TomTom support since Carbonite is not exactly TomTom.
Edit: Some punctuation missing in this post.

text: The Shellshock wiki last edited by Mento on 07/31/13 04:54PM View full history OverviewShellshock is a tank shooter that was developed by Core Design for PlayStation, Saturn and DOS. The game plays like a standard first person tank shooter, in the vain of Battlezone. The player controls an M-13 Predator tank, with an assortment of upgrades available for purchase in later missions. The game has 25 missions, with players earning money for their performance which can go into buying upgrades for their tank. The game is not in the simulation style, as the tank can take many hits and has infinite ammo. The game's theme is influenced by mid 90s hip hop. This manifests itself in the hip-hop soundtrack and styling of the characters. The headquarters of the militia force the player works with even has its own basketball court.StoryThe player is recruited by a mercenary force called Da Wardenz as a tank pilot. They fight through various conflicts around the world, with the main goal of seeking justice from the government which left them to die in a past encounter.

A North Mankato teenager was injured Wednesday morning when the vehicle she was a passenger in spun out of control on Highway 169 and hit a barrier before bursting into flames. The crash happened at just before 7:30am on the North Star Bridge on 169 in North Mankato. The teenage driver of the Oldsmobile Alero, whose name will not be released, was southbound on 169 when he lost control of the car. It struck the barrier head-on and came to rest in the middle of the highway and burst into flames. All 3 of the occupants were able to escape safely. Emma St. Peter of North Mankato was treated for minor injuries at the Mankato Mayo Hospital. No one else was hurt, although the car was totaled. An investigation into the crash is underway.

The Oscars: Everything You Need To Know, And Some Things You Don?t
by Rob Lucas
posted Feb 25 2013 7:16AM
I thought parts of last night's Oscars were incredibly funny, and other segments of the broadcast were simply "plodding." I just can't figure out if this awards show is ever going to completely knock it out of the park again. Seth MacFarlane had a ton of high points as host, and the broadcast itself seemed to be much more contemporary, however I just can't get over this feeling that so much of the Oscars leaves me empty every single year. I don't think I'm alone is those thoughts.
I do know this…I made the WRONG choice in watching ABC's red carpet coverage over E's. I don't know if you'll see a worse broadcast than ABC's 90 minute preshow. Red carpet broadcasts are always chaotic train-wrecks, but this was just horrible. Lara Spencer was pretty good, as hosting is what she does for a living. But Kristin Chenoweth was god-awful, horribly miscast. It was almost like they spent zero time rehearsing the show or planning for various happenings. I doubt you will see a worse broadcast of any sort for the remaining 10 months of 2013.
Whether you watched the Oscars 'til the bitter end, or went to Bon Jovi and just want to know what happened, check out the following hot links for everything you need to know... and some things you dont!

League for Industrial Democracy
From Conservapedia
The League for Industrial Democracy was a leftist group that came into existence in 1921 when the Intercollegiate Socialist Society re-named itself. It was active until the 1930s, when Socialists mostly left the party, joined the Democractic Party and supported the New Deal Coalition. The group did not cease to exist however, it remained alive by the charity of a few of its remaining leaders.[1]
The League for Industrial Democracy had few initiatives during the 40's and 50's, however, they did reconstitute their student wing in 1945 which was called the SLID, or Student League for Industrial Democracy.
Name Change
In 1921, a vote was held to which Harry Laidler announced: "the members of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society had declared themselves in favor of the change in name and purpose."[2] In November[2][3], the organization officially became the LID and set its sights beyond college campi. They also presented their new guiding principle: "Education for a New Social Order Based on Production for Public Use and Not for Private Profit."[3][4]
Gentle but Deadly
The League chose their new guiding principle because they believed it to be "gentle but deadly". Arthur Gleason[5], a member of the League's Executive Committee[2] said:
Only one main idea is in sight with driving force and the power to capture the imagination of men. That idea concerns itself with changing the basis of civilization. It is the idea of production for use. Production for use is a seemly phrase, so sound that sections of the church have accepted it, so far-reaching that it will bring down the walls of Jericho. It is gentle and deadly. It says that the present order is ethically indefensible and economically unsound.[6]
Student League for Industrial Democracy
Formed in 1945[1], the SLID(And LID) had a major breakthrough when they merged with another little group called the "Schactmanites" who were led by Max Shachtman. One of the promising new radicals that came into the group was Michael Harrington. In the early 60's, the SLID changed their name to Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and became the genesis of the New Left campus unrest of the 1960s.
Important members
Important members of the LID include:
- Robert Morss Lovett - President, 1921[7].
- John Dewey
- Stuart Chase - The League's treasurer and an advisor to FDR[8].
- Michael Harrington - Inspired LBJ's War on Poverty.[9][10][11].
- Norman Thomas - Chairman of the Executive Committee[7].
- Albert DeSilver - A member of the League's Executive Committee[12] and a founding member of the ACLU[13].
- Thorstein Veblen[7].
- Florence Kelley - Vice President, 1921[7], NAACP founder.
- Aryeh Neier - Was director of the LID during the formation of the Students for a Democratic Society. He was also a National Director for the ACLU, co-founded Human Rights Watch, and served as President for George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

The bestselling guide is now filled with new, essential information for knowing whether you or your loved one suffers from this chronic but very treatable disease.
Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) July 31, 2008 -- Ever since the first edition of "Diabetes For Dummies" was published in 1999, the book has been a major resource for those with diabetes and their loved ones, as well as drug company representatives and researchers trying to find a cure. Since the previous edition, more than 2 million additional people have been diagnosed with the disease. Unfortunately, a large number of them are children.
To update the book and provide the best medical care for his patients, author Alan L. Rubin, MD, has followed the latest developments closely. Among the many findings, readers will discover new explanations for the complications of eye disease, kidney disease, nerve disease and heart disease that develop when diabetes is not controlled.
http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/Diabetes-For-Dummies-3rd-Edition.productCd-0470270861.html ["Diabetes For Dummies, 3rd Ed.,"] explains how the increasing number of overweight and sedentary children has led to a much higher prevalence of diabetes in young people than ever before. Since complications develop after ten or more years of uncontrolled diabetes, there may be a significant number of young people with blindness, kidney failure and even heart attacks in the next decade. "Diabetes For Dummies, 3rd Ed.," covers the three major, but reversible, problems that lead to damage to the body:

The NFL Scouting Combine really got going yesterday, as QBs began their workouts for NFL teams and scouts. All eyes were on potential #1 pick Andrew Luck and the 2nd most sought after QB, Heisman winner Robert Griffin III. Griffin caused jaws to drop in his 40 time, as he posted an official 4.41, which is blazing fast for a player under center. But as impressive as his speed was, the QB position is really about being able to sling around the pigskin. It wasn't Griffin or Luck that eveyone was talking about after the throwing sessions (they didn't participate). The guy that grabbed everyone's attention was former Michigan State QB, Kirk Cousins.
Cousins has been working out with former Heisman-winner and former NFL QB, Chris Weinke. Weinke has become known as somewhat of a QB guru the last few years, working with young quarterbacks in preparation of the NFL Draft. The word on Cousins is that all his passes were not only accurate and crisp, but he showed impressive arm strength, including an ability to zip the ball on shorter and intermediate routes.
While at Michigan State, Kirk Cousins displayed immense leadership in his three years as the starting QB. He set school records in passing and wins, while leading MSU to back-to-back 11-win seasons, the first time that was done in school history. Detractors on Cousins point to his decision making ability in important situations, claiming that sometimes he plays outside his skill set.
Cousins did so well in the drills he participated in, that he is already shooting up draft boards. He was originally projected as a middle round draft pick, someone to hold a clipboard and run scout. But with an impressive showing with unfamiliar targets, and the ability to show how smart he is at the position, he could very well be the 3rd or 4th QB taken in the draft. A strong pro day, where he will have familiar targets BJ Cunningham and Keshawn Martin participating with him, might guarantee Cousins a 2nd round spot.

Dave Bowers, in his Guidebook of Double Eagle Gold Coins (2004), suggests that between 1,250 and 1,750 examples of this rare date are extant in Mint State condition. However, the combined population of 1929 double eagles at NGC and PCGS--regardless of condition--equals only 314 coins as of (9/08). In the same reference, Bowers notes that "nearly 1,000 have been certified--and, of course, many coins have not been." Although he may have included examples certified by ANACS, ICG, and other certification companies, the number would still be less than 400 encapsulated pieces. And we must also consider the inevitability of inflated population data due to resubmissions. Research by Garrett and Guth (2006) indicates that a total of 68 examples of this issue crossed the auction block between 1991 and 2005. Perhaps that is the best indication of the real rarity of the 1929 double eagles. This apricot-gold example has everything one would expect to see on a Gem twenty: vibrant luster, a pleasing strike, and clean fields. An abrasion on Liberty's torso and a couple of similar marks affecting the rays in the left field are all that probably preclude a higher designation for the current coin. Census: 4 in 65, 1 finer (6/09).

Americans heading off to enjoy the final weekend of summer are getting a nasty surprise at the gas pump[1].
Prices for gasoline jumped almost 5 cents a gallon on Wednesday, the largest single-day rise in a year and a half, due to the shut down of oil pipelines and terminals along the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Isaac, the Associated Press noted.
The national average price for a gallon of gas hit $3.80 this week, topping August 2008's record of $3.67 a gallon. This week, some states saw gas prices shoot up more than 10 cents a gallon, especially Midwest states like Indiana and Ohio, which are supplied directly from the Gulf.
Of course, gas prices were already rising before Isaac blew into the Gulf, up 40 cents a gallon since July, meaning that drivers will likely pay the most ever to fill up their cars this Labor Day weekend.
However, the sudden price spike is likely to be only temporary. Despite its bluster, Isaac left most refineries and oil processing infrastructure undamaged. Once workers return to the facilities, production should quickly return to its normal pace, sending prices back down.
A number of companies with oil operations in the Gulf say that their facilities escaped major damage and will soon resume operations[2], including Valero (NYSE:VLO[3]), Anadarko (NYSE:APC[4]), Chevron (NYSE:CVX[5]), Enbridge (NYSE: ENB[6]), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM[7]) and Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC[8]). Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX[9]), however, reported flooding at one of its Louisiana facilities, Dow Jones noted.

Second JRT, should we?Posted by: Michael Roche
Category: Other
Posted on: May 09, 2001 at 22:02:56
We have a 2yr old neutered male and we'd like to get a second JRT. If possible we'd like to get an older dog but if not, then a puppy. Will our JRT be too rough for the puppy or should they be kept apart until the puppy is older and stronger. The new dog would be a female and what kind of problems can we expect between the current dog and the new puppy/older dog.

Berkman, 37, lunged towards first base while trying to beat out a double play against Houston. Officially the Rangers have listed Berkman with hip inflammation. Whether or not this could spell the return of Manny Ramirez to the major leagues remains to be seen. On the season Berkman holds a .254/.355/.377 line with 6 home runs and 34 RBI.

Axel-In-Charge: In-Depth with Alonso on Marvel's "All-New, All-Different" Lineup
Comic Books
Manga | Dark Horse has announced the September release of Astro Boy Omnibus Volume 1, an oversized collection featuring nearly 700 pages of Osamu Tezuka's most popular creation, billed as the first in a series. The news follows the recent announcement of the publisher's oversized editions of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. [Dark Horse]
Publishing | David Carter takes a hard look at Vertigo as part of his analysis of DC Comics' December sales. He notes that most of the series are selling poorly (under — often well under — 15,000 copies) and speculates that the reason may be that creators, even those who do work for DC, are taking their creator-owned books to Image Comics. He also thinks Vertigo's trade policy isn't working, as releasing the trades early and pricing the first one low encourages readers to skip the monthly comics — but then there's a high probability they will forget about a new series altogether. [The Beat]
For the second time in less than two years, a Japanese school board has removed Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen from school libraries.
The manga is a semi-fictional account of Nakazawa's experiences during and after the bombing of Hiroshima, and in recent years it has come under attack from some conservatives because of its portrayal of postwar Japan.
In this case, Mayor Hiroyasu Chiyomatsu of Izumisano in Osaka Prefecture told the local school board that the books were problematic not because of the story but because they use outdated and possibly pejorative terms for poor, homeless or mentally ill people.
"Rather than the overall content of the manga, I thought the problem was with certain discriminatory expressions," Chiyomatsu said. "Because the city of Izumisano as a whole has emphasized human rights education, I told the board of education that there may be a need to provide individual guidance to those students who read the manga."
The head of the school board, Tatsuhiro Nakafuji, issued a directive in November telling schools to "move the manga from the library to the principal's office so children cannot lay eyes on it." Not all schools immediately complied, so in January they were instructed to turn over their copies to the board of education. The initial plan called for the board to return the books on March 20, once schools had come up with some way to provide "guidance" regarding the language in question.
Manga | The recent move by a Japanese school board to restrict student access to Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen has resulted in a surge in sales of the book — so much so that the publishers had to increase their reprint numbers by a factor of three, bookstores are reporting shortages, and an e-book distributor expects it to make the Top 10 this month. As we noted Monday, the board has reversed its policy. [The Mainichi]
Digital comics | Marvel has updated its Marvel Unlimited app for iOS and Android, addressing the two chief user complaints by doubling the number of comics that can be downloaded and read offline from six to 12 and improving searchability by allowing users to search by publication date. [PC Magazine]
A Japanese school board has reversed its decision to restrict student access to Barefoot Gen, Keiji Nakazawa's autobiographical story about a 6-year-old boy who survived the Hiroshima bombing.
Although the manga's removal from Matsue City elementary and middle-school library shelves had drawn widespread criticism, Reuters reports the board claims the policy change is because of procedural problems with the way the previous directive was issued.
On Dec. 17, the schools superintendent ordered Barefoot Gen pulled, with students only permitted to read it with permission from a teacher, following a complaint about the book's depiction of violence by Imperial Japanese Army troops (many Japanese nationalists deny troops committed any war crimes during World War II). However, the board insisted the decision was based strictly on the level of violence in the manga, and not on the political nature of the complaint.
Still, Reuters reports the outrage over the manga's removal echoes increasing concerns about the conservative agenda of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's to reframe the nation's wartime history "in less apologetic colors."
Nakazawa's widow Misayo told the Japanese media last week, when news of the restriction first circulated, that she was shocked by the move. "War is brutal," she said. "It expresses that in pictures, and I want people to keep reading it."
Nakazawa died in December at age 73.
Awards | Stephen Collins' The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil won the inaugural 9th Art Award, announced Sunday during the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Presented by Graphic Scotland, the prize recognizes the year's best English-language graphic novel. The other finalists were: Building Stories, by Chris Ware; Days of the Bagnold Summer, by Joff Winterhart; Naming Monsters, by Hannah Eaton; and The Nao of Brown, by Glyn Dillon. [9th Art Award]
Manga | Raina Telgemeier's comic about Barefoot Gen has attracted attention in Japan, where one city recently removed the manga from elementary-school classrooms, claiming it's too violent for children (the manga depicts the bombing of Hiroshima). "I was lucky to have adults in my life who were willing to discuss the violent subject matter with me, and help me put the story in historical context, and clarify things I might not yet understand," Telgemeier told The Asahi Shimbun. "After I finished volume 1 of Barefoot Gen, I was deeply upset. (But) as a child, I believed that if people simply saw what war was all about, they would take care that it wouldn't happen anymore." [The Asahi Shimbun]
As we reported Sunday, the school board of Matsue, Japan, has restricted students' access to the manga Barefoot Gen, which is based on author Keiji Nakazawa's own experiences during and after the bombing of Hiroshima. The book will remain in elementary and junior high school libraries, but only teachers can check it out — not students.
The official reason was the level of violence in the books, although the initial complaint about the book was that it depicted atrocities that the person who filed the complaint alleged had not happened.
This reminded Drama creator Raina Telgemeier of her own experience of being disturbed by the book as a child. As she said on her blog, "If you've ever seen me talk, you might know that Barefoot Gen is one of my seminal influences as a cartoonist, and I hold its creator Keiji Nakazawa in the highest regard." And many years ago, she drew a short comic, Beginnings, about the effect that Barefoot Gen had on her nine-year-old self.
There's a bit of the comic at right, but what's cool is what happened after the book was banned: A Japanese father, who was unhappy about the banning, contacted Telgemeier and asked if he could translate Beginnings into Japanese, so his daughter could read it and share it with her friends. Telgemeier assented, and the translated version is now up on her website as well. There's something wonderfully circular about that.
The school board in the Japanese city of Matsue has restricted student access to Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, the autobiographical story of a six-year-old boy who survived the Hiroshima bombing.
The board ruled that the book will remain in elementary and junior high school libraries but only teachers will have access to it; students will not be allowed to check it out.
Barefoot Gen, which originally ran in Shonen Jump, a magazine for teenage boys, is based on Nakazawa's own experiences; he was seven years old and on his way to school when the bomb was dropped, and the adult who was walking with him was burned to death on the spot, and his father, brother and sister were killed when their burning house collapsed on them.
The Matsue school board made its decision last December, after a complaint was filed with them alleging "Children would gain a wrong perception of history because the work describes atrocities by Japanese troops that did not take place." Many Japanese nationalists deny that Japanese troops were involved in the Rape of Nanking or committed war crimes during World War II, such as the events depicted in the book. Nonetheless, the school board said its decision was based strictly on the level of violence in the books and not on the political nature of the complaint.
Barefoot Gen has been acclaimed worldwide, and it is included in the Hiroshima Public Schools' peace education curriculum for elementary school students, although there have been calls for it to be removed from schools there as well.
Manga | The widow of Barefoot Gen creator Keiji Nakazawa, has found 16 pages of penciled notes and sketches for a possible sequel to Nakazawa's semi-autobiographical account of living through the Hiroshima bombing and its aftermath. Before he died in December, Nakazawa donated the first 16 pages of the projected volume to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum; this is the outline for the second set of pages. The new story would have taken Gen to Tokyo to become a manga creator, just as Nakazawa did in real life. [Anime News Network]
Comics | Glen Weldon, who writes about comics for National Public Radio, explains why he, as a gay man, won't be reading Orson Scott Card's issues of Adventures of Superman: "DC Comics has handed the keys to the 'Champion of the Oppressed' to a guy who has dedicated himself to oppress me, and my partner, and millions of people like us. It represents a fundamental misread of who the character is, and what he means. It is dispiriting. It is wearying. It is also, finally, not for me." [NPR]
Keiji Nakazawa, who lived through the bombing of Hiroshima as a child and wrote the internationally acclaimed Barefoot Gen about his experiences, died Dec. 19 of lung cancer. He was 73.
Nakazawa was 7 years old on Aug. 6, 1945, the day the bomb was dropped. As he recounted in his autobiography, he was walking to school and stopped to answer a question from an adult, when suddenly, in an instant, the whole world changed: "a pale light like the flash of a flashbulb camera, white at the center, engulfed me, a great ball of light with yellow and red mixed at its out edge."
He was standing next to a concrete wall, so he was partially shielded from the blast, although he was covered in rubble, and a nail went through his cheek. The adult he had been speaking to was burned to death on the spot. There was more horror to come: His father, brother and sister were killed when their burning house collapsed on them. Nakazawa recounted these events, which his mother told him about later, in a 2007 interview:
Retailing | Heidi MacDonald reports on the retailer lunch at Comic-Con International, where spirits were running high after an exceptionally good year, with sales up 13 percent over 2011. Retailers shared success stories, Diamond Comic Distributors offered incentives for new businesses, and MacDonald pulled out an interestingly eclectic list of titles that are spurring sales, including The Walking Dead, Saga, and Jeffrey Brown's cat cartoons and Vader and Son. [Publishers Weekly]
Publishing | ICv2 talks to the Viz Media executives about a range of topics, including the stabilization of the manga market, new interest from comics retailers, the shift to digital, and an uptick in the popularity of shoujo (girls') manga. [ICv2]
Welcome to another edition of What Are You Reading?, our weekly look into the reading habits of your friendly neighborhood bloggers.

Some of the other changes include installation of a standard new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or optional Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6, as well as adding a dual clutch transmission.
The latest teaser shots of a preproduction model show details of the restyled front and rear of the core Sebring platform, with swept-back lights and a waterfall style grille. The rear lights are close to those of the concept, but the center section of the Sebring remains, including the rear roof pillar.
The new 2011 Chrysler 200 will likely make its world debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show in November and have to soldier on until a replacement based on Fiat Group's new Compact-Wide platform arrives around 2013. Importantly, the Dodge Avenger is expected to undergo a similar update.

With one slip of the foot, NSW swing bowler Trent Copeland ensured himself a place among an unfortunate group of elite athletes to have suffered injuries in the most bizarre circumstances.
Perhaps unlucky to be named 12th man for the Blues' Sheffield Shield clash with Victoria, the former Test bowler's luck hit rock bottom when he suffered a high-grade lateral ligament strain in his left ankle in the most unlikely of scenarios - carrying the drinks out to his teammates.
Realising he'd forgotten to get a helmet for batsman Brad Haddin with the new ball approaching, Copeland attempted to turn on the stairs near the dressing room - and ended up in a crumpled heap.
"I'm a little bit embarrassed about it," Copeland said on Wednesday.
"... I've copped plenty of stick from the support staff and also from my family and my wife (netballer Kim Green).
"She likes to think that I'm clumsy at the best of times.
"It's one of those things where I've run up and down those stairs so many times. Nothing was different. I was just probably caught up in the moment when it happened. You can't change it. Life goes on."
In doing so, he joined the likes of Geelong's dual-premiership winner Brad Ottens, Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and Canberra youngster Jack Wighton in the not-so-exclusive club.
Wighton missed half of last year's NRL season with a toe injury suffered while jumping on the backyard trampoline and Ferdinand hurt his knee reaching for a phone while sitting on the couch.
Ottens was putting up a hammock in his backyard when he fell from a ladder and impaled himself on a garden stake.
Countless sports stars have hurt knees, backs and - in former North Melbourne defender Josh Gibson's case - his head, while slipping over in the shower.
But perhaps the most ridiculous bathroom injury came when Spanish goalkeeper Santiago Canizares dropped a bottle of aftershave on his foot - severing a tendon and causing him to miss the 2002 World Cup.
Copeland's concerns are more immediate, however, with a six-week stint on the sidelines awaiting him, ruling him out of NSW's Shield match against Queensland starting on November 27.
Complicating matters is the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash League season which starts on December 7, with Shield matches suspended until late January.
Copeland, far more proficient with the red ball than the white, does not have a Big Bash team and might not play competitive cricket again until the Blues' clash with West Australia on January 24.
It's a far cry from the bowler who dominated the 2010-11 Shield season, taking 45 wickets to force his way into the Australia Test set-up before being dropped after taking just six wickets in three Tests.
But the 26-year-old definitely still sees Test cricket in his future.
"For me, nothing's changed and I've no doubt that - given the right scenario - I can still play Test cricket," he said.
"Whether that's this summer or whether that's in two years time, I don't know.
"I've definitely still got aspirations and I know Pup (Australia captain Michael Clarke) still knows I want to play and so would everyone else in Australian cricket."
