10/12 Ride to Harare
Since we'd already spent more time in Bulawayo than anyone really should, we were anxious to get on the road early today. Re and I had initially planned to go to Great Zimbabwe, an archaeological site near Masvingo, but decided instead, to make a beeline for Malawi and, hopefully, for greener pastures. The shortest route to Malawi took us through Harare, so that was our goal for the day. The ride to Harare looked like it would be around 300 miles, so we wanted to be on the road by 8:00 am.
Around 7:30, I walked out to check on the bikes and soon found that Re's rear tire was flat. This was the tube that was wrinkled and had already been patched once. When I installed the new rear tires in Vic Falls, I opted to reuse the old tubes. Since the easiest way to remove the rear tire is with two people, I went in search of Re. I found her getting out of the shower and while she greeted me wearing nothing but a smile, it soon disappeared. So much for our early start. Out to the parking lot, off with the wheel and tire, and I soon discovered another hole where one of the wrinkles had been. I pulled out one of our new tubes and we very carefully (no wrinkles this time!) installed it. Since the tools were out and we were dirty, we decided it would be a good time to adjust both chains and check some fasteners. Back to the showers to get cleaned up.
We finally hit the road around 9:00 am and settles in for another long, boring, dry, dusty ride. While we did encounter some headwind today, at least it was a comfortable temperature all day. One feature of Zimbabwe is the large number of police checkpoints and frequent tollbooths. One good thing about being on a motorbike in Zimbabwe is that you pay no tolls. Another good thing is that the police don't seem to bother you. So by the end of the day, we copied the locals and blew through the tollbooths and checkpoints. Shortly after midday we reached the town of Gweru and stopped for fuel and groceries. While Re was in the grocery store, I sat and waited with the bikes. I enjoy people watching and was interested to note that we were apparently the only white faces in town. Zimbabwe is different from the rest of Africa in this respect, as usually, there are at least tourists in town. While I was watching people do what they do, a man came up and introduced himself. He had noted our American license plates, knew of Oregon, and we had a nice chat for about 5 minutes. He was interested in how Zimbabwe compared to the rest of Africa and to the US.
For the rest of the ride to Harare, fuel availability was spotty, and again, the bikes seemed to hesitate at partial throttle but were fine WFO. We neared the outskirts of Harare around 5:00 pm, and once again, the landscape changed from dry and dusty to green and interesting. We rode through a section of large, granite boulders, some of them balanced precariously on top of each other, and then encountered Harare rush hour. Harare seems to be powered by crazy shared minibus taxis that, without rhyme, reason, or signaling, pull off the shoulder of the road. Dodging taxis the entire way, we made it into the center of Harare and again found very few road signs. Navigating from the tiny Lonely Planet map wasn't working out well for us as I was sure we passed our turn. Sitting at a light, I noticed the occupants of the vehicle to our right looking at our bikes and talking to each other and then saw the police chaplain sticker on their door. I motioned for them to roll down the window and asked for directions. They were able to direct us to the right neighborhood, but we cruised around for more than 20 minutes but could not find our destination. Sun nearly down, we pulled into the parking lot of the local grocery store, thinking that we would ask for directions. On a whim, I typed the address of the guesthouse into my GPS and it told me we were 0.4 miles away. We followed the directions to the gate. Originally, I wasn't going to bring a GPS on this trip and was going to rely on paper maps. I can't count the number of times I've been glad I changed my mind. We beeped the horn at the front gate and waited to be disappointed once again. The guard unlocked the gate and we rode into what must be the nicest guesthouse in Zimbabwe. And, they had a room! And internet! And a clean pool! And a lovely restaurant serving good, cheap food! We unloaded the bikes, schlepped our stuff to the room, and ordered a delicious dinner. We spent the rest of the evening relaxing and chatting with other travelers.
302 miles in about 8 hours. Bikes were hesitating - maybe altitude, maybe fuel.

YES, finally!
Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (aka BF2) retail Windows PC game. The focus of this mod is to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various game play elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the Project Reality team has been introducing British, Insurgent, IDF forces, Canadian, and Russian factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce even more factions to the virtual battlefields. This Mod is not for the masses, due to the fact that it has a much higher learning curve then your classic arcade game. This is the real deal.

What am I doing here!? I should be in the downloads section right now! :D
I installed all the files up until part 3, and it says that it's still installing. It's been almost an hour now. Is it supposed to take this long?
and TBH i do not know.
Do not ask technical questions here as you will be greeted with silence.
Go to their official forums.
What the hell hapen with the RPG-7? I cant shoot to an objetive at 100m because the rocket goes down . In reality the RPG-7 has an efective range of 500m
Yeah playing on Al Basrah as insurgents was a nightmare today..
The trajectories were adjusted to fit more reality, it still has an effective range on 500+, you just have to get used to it.
rpg-7 got nerfed like a bitch
Well, I experienced some crashes. I was playing with AI's, and after I started the third map, it returned me in Windows. After that, I started game again. Everything goes fine. After that, I went on server, and I played it for about half hour. I was moving and game suddenly freezes and I returned into Windows, again. Is the problem in game or something else?
Well, I re-installed it, everything do in the order, and I concluded that there is no problems with game... I'll try with system...
Multiplayer maps won't even load, its just stuck at 0% even after I turned my anti-virus off
Posted about the update here: Modsentry.com really looking forward to getting back in to this mod. One of my all-time favourites!
A full giga for a map and a car ?
The option sliders on co-op/singleplayer don't have labels on mine. It's not a huge problem, if anyone could just tell me what each one does position-wise, that'd be great
Wish I knew where my disks were... I still have the key. I wish they'd let me put it into Origin, so that can be worth something.

ABSTRACT: Plant organ development and polarity establishment is mediated by the action of several transcription factors. Among these, the KANADI (KAN) subclade of the GARP protein family plays important roles in polarity-associated processes during embryo, shoot and root patterning. In this study, we have identified a set of potential direct target genes of KAN1 through a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation/DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and genome-wide transcriptional profiling using tiling arrays. Target genes are over-represented for genes involved in the regulation of organ development as well as in the response to auxin. KAN1 affects directly the expression of several genes previously shown to be important in the establishment of polarity during lateral organ and vascular tissue development. We also show that KAN1 controls through its target genes auxin effects on organ development at different levels: transport and its regulation, and signaling. In addition, KAN1 regulates genes involved in the response to abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, brassinosteroids, ethylene, cytokinins and gibberellins. The role of KAN1 in organ polarity is antagonized by HD-ZIPIII transcription factors, including REVOLUTA (REV). A comparison of their target genes reveals that the REV/KAN1 module acts in organ patterning through opposite regulation of shared targets. Evidence of mutual repression between closely related family members is also shown.PLoS ONE 10/2013; 8(10):e77341. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0077341 · 3.53 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The appropriate timing of flowering is crucial for plant reproductive success. It is therefore not surprising that intricate genetic networks have evolved to perceive and integrate both endogenous and environmental signals, such as carbohydrate and hormonal status, photoperiod and temperature. In contrast to our detailed understanding of the vernalization pathway, little is known about how flowering time is controlled in response to changes in the ambient growth temperature. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the MADS-box transcription factor genes FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) have key roles in this process. FLM is subject to temperature-dependent alternative splicing. Here we report that the two main FLM protein splice variants, FLM-β and FLM-δ, compete for interaction with the floral repressor SVP. The SVP-FLM-β complex is predominately formed at low temperatures and prevents precocious flowering. By contrast, the competing SVP-FLM-δ complex is impaired in DNA binding and acts as a dominant-negative activator of flowering at higher temperatures. Our results show a new mechanism that controls the timing of the floral transition in response to changes in ambient temperature. A better understanding of how temperature controls the molecular mechanisms of flowering will be important to cope with current changes in global climate.Nature 09/2013; DOI:10.1038/nature12633 · 42.35 Impact Factor
Article: Fast-Forward Genetics Identifies Plant CPL Phosphatases as Regulators of miRNA Processing Factor HYL1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are processed from primary transcripts that contain partially self-complementary foldbacks. As in animals, the core microprocessor in plants is a Dicer protein, DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1). Processing accuracy and strand selection is greatly enhanced through the RNA binding protein HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 (HYL1) and the zinc finger protein SERRATE (SE). We have combined a luciferase-based genetic screen with whole-genome sequencing for rapid identification of new regulators of miRNA biogenesis and action. Among the first six mutants analyzed were three alleles of C-TERMINAL DOMAIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE 1 (CPL1)/FIERY2 (FRY2). In the miRNA processing complex, SE functions as a scaffold to mediate CPL1 interaction with HYL1, which needs to be dephosphorylated for optimal activity. In the absence of CPL1, HYL1 dephosphorylation and hence accurate processing and strand selection from miRNA duplexes are compromised. Our findings thus define a new regulatory step in plant miRNA biogenesis.Cell 11/2012; 151(4):859-70. DOI:10.1016/j.cell.2012.09.039 · 33.12 Impact Factor
Article: Characterization of SOC1's central role in flowering by the identification of its upstream and downstream regulators.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The transition from vegetative to reproductive development is one of the most important phase changes in the plant life cycle. This step is controlled by various environmental signals that are integrated at the molecular level by so-called floral integrators. One such floral integrator in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is the MADS domain transcription factor SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 (SOC1). Despite extensive genetic studies, little is known about the transcriptional control of SOC1, and we are just starting to explore the network of genes under the direct control of SOC1 transcription factor complexes. Here, we show that several MADS domain proteins, including SOC1 heterodimers, are able to bind SOC1 regulatory sequences. Genome-wide target gene analysis by ChIP-seq confirmed the binding of SOC1 to its own locus and shows that it also binds to a plethora of flowering-time regulatory and floral homeotic genes. In turn, the encoded floral homeotic MADS domain proteins appear to bind SOC1 regulatory sequences. Subsequent in planta analyses revealed SOC1 repression by several floral homeotic MADS domain proteins, and we show that, mechanistically, this depends on the presence of the SOC1 protein. Together, our data show that SOC1 constitutes a major hub in the regulatory networks underlying floral timing and flower development and that these networks are composed of many positive and negative autoregulatory and feedback loops. The latter seems to be crucial for the generation of a robust flower-inducing signal, followed shortly after by repression of the SOC1 floral integrator.Plant physiology 07/2012; 160(1):433-49.

Article: Genome-wide binding-site analysis of REVOLUTA reveals a link between leaf patterning and light-mediated growth responses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Unlike the situation in animals, the final morphology of the plant body is highly modulated by the environment. During Arabidopsis development, intrinsic factors provide the framework for basic patterning processes. CLASS III HOMEODOMAIN LEUCINE ZIPPER (HD-ZIPIII) transcription factors are involved in embryo, shoot and root patterning. During vegetative growth HD-ZIPIII proteins control several polarity set-up processes such as in leaves and the vascular system. We have identified several direct target genes of the HD-ZIPIII transcription factor REVOLUTA (REV) using a chromatin immunoprecipitation/DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) approach. This analysis revealed that REV acts upstream of auxin biosynthesis and affects directly the expression of several class II HD-ZIP transcription factors that have been shown to act in the shade-avoidance response pathway. We show that, as well as involvement in basic patterning, HD-ZIPIII transcription factors have a critical role in the control of the elongation growth that is induced when plants experience shade. Leaf polarity is established by the opposed actions of HD-ZIPIII and KANADI transcription factors. Finally, our study reveals that the module that consists of HD-ZIPIII/KANADI transcription factors controls shade growth antagonistically and that this antagonism is manifested in the opposed regulation of shared target genes.The Plant Journal 05/2012; 72(1):31-42.

ABSTRACT: Like protein-coding genes, loci that produce microRNAs (miRNAs) are generally considered to be under purifying selection, consistent with miRNA polymorphisms being able to cause disease. Nevertheless, it has been hypothesized that variation in miRNA genes may contribute to phenotypic diversity. Here we demonstrate that a naturally occurring polymorphism in the MIR164A gene affects leaf shape and shoot architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana, with the effects being modified by additional loci in the genome. A single base pair substitution in the miRNA complementary sequence alters the predicted stability of the miRNA:miRNA(∗) duplex. It thereby greatly reduces miRNA accumulation, probably because it interferes with precursor processing. We demonstrate that this is not a rare exception and that natural strains of Arabidopsis thaliana harbor dozens of similar polymorphisms that affect processing of a wide range of miRNA precursors. Our results suggest that natural variation in miRNA biogenesis resulting from cis mutations is a common contributor to phenotypic variation in plants.Current biology: CB 12/2011; 22(2):166-70.

ABSTRACT: The plant Arabidopsis thaliana occurs naturally in many different habitats throughout Eurasia. As a foundation for identifying genetic variation contributing to adaptation to diverse environments, a 1001 Genomes Project to sequence geographically diverse A. thaliana strains has been initiated. Here we present the first phase of this project, based on population-scale sequencing of 80 strains drawn from eight regions throughout the species' native range. We describe the majority of common small-scale polymorphisms as well as many larger insertions and deletions in the A. thaliana pan-genome, their effects on gene function, and the patterns of local and global linkage among these variants. The action of processes other than spontaneous mutation is identified by comparing the spectrum of mutations that have accumulated since A. thaliana diverged from its closest relative 10 million years ago with the spectrum observed in the laboratory. Recent species-wide selective sweeps are rare, and potentially deleterious mutations are more common in marginal populations.Nature Genetics 08/2011; 43(10):956-63.

ABSTRACT: We present whole-genome assemblies of four divergent Arabidopsis thaliana strains that complement the 125-Mb reference genome sequence released a decade ago. Using a newly developed reference-guided approach, we assembled large contigs from 9 to 42 Gb of Illumina short-read data from the Landsberg erecta (Ler-1), C24, Bur-0, and Kro-0 strains, which have been sequenced as part of the 1,001 Genomes Project for this species. Using alignments against the reference sequence, we first reduced the complexity of the de novo assembly and later integrated reads without similarity to the reference sequence. As an example, half of the noncentromeric C24 genome was covered by scaffolds that are longer than 260 kb, with a maximum of 2.2 Mb. Moreover, over 96% of the reference genome was covered by the reference-guided assembly, compared with only 87% with a complete de novo assembly. Comparisons with 2 Mb of dideoxy sequence reveal that the per-base error rate of the reference-guided assemblies was below 1 in 10,000. Our assemblies provide a detailed, genomewide picture of large-scale differences between A. thaliana individuals, most of which are difficult to access with alignment-consensus methods only. We demonstrate their practical relevance in studying the expression differences of polymorphic genes and show how the analysis of sRNA sequencing data can lead to erroneous conclusions if aligned against the reference genome alone. Genome assemblies, raw reads, and further information are accessible through http://1001genomes.org/projects/assemblies.html.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 06/2011; 108(25):10249-54.

Article: Prediction of Regulatory Interactions from Genome Sequences Using a Biophysical Model for the Arabidopsis LEAFY Transcription Factor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite great advances in sequencing technologies, generating functional information for nonmodel organisms remains a challenge. One solution lies in an improved ability to predict genetic circuits based on primary DNA sequence in combination with detailed knowledge of regulatory proteins that have been characterized in model species. Here, we focus on the LEAFY (LFY) transcription factor, a conserved master regulator of floral development. Starting with biochemical and structural information, we built a biophysical model describing LFY DNA binding specificity in vitro that accurately predicts in vivo LFY binding sites in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Applying the model to other plant species, we could follow the evolution of the regulatory relationship between LFY and the AGAMOUS (AG) subfamily of MADS box genes and show that this link predates the divergence between monocots and eudicots. Remarkably, our model succeeds in detecting the connection between LFY and AG homologs despite extensive variation in binding sites. This demonstrates that the cis-element fluidity recently observed in animals also exists in plants, but the challenges it poses can be overcome with predictions grounded in a biophysical model. Therefore, our work opens new avenues to deduce the structure of regulatory networks from mere inspection of genomic sequences.The Plant Cell 04/2011; 23(4):1293-306.

Article: Transposable elements and small RNAs contribute to gene expression divergence between Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Transposable elements (TEs) are often the primary determinant of genome size differences among eukaryotes. In plants, the proliferation of TEs is countered through epigenetic silencing mechanisms that prevent mobility. Recent studies using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that methylated TE insertions are often associated with reduced expression of nearby genes, and these insertions may be subject to purifying selection due to this effect. Less is known about the genome-wide patterns of epigenetic silencing of TEs in other plant species. Here, we compare the 24-nt siRNA complement from A. thaliana and a closely related congener with a two- to threefold higher TE copy number, Arabidopsis lyrata. We show that TEs--particularly siRNA-targeted TEs--are associated with reduced gene expression within both species and also with gene expression differences between orthologs. In addition, A. lyrata TEs are targeted by a lower fraction of uniquely matching siRNAs, which are associated with more effective silencing of TE expression. Our results suggest that the efficacy of RNA-directed DNA methylation silencing is lower in A. lyrata, a finding that may shed light on the causes of differential TE proliferation among species.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 02/2011; 108(6):2322-7.

Article: Comparative analysis of non-autonomous effects of tasiRNAs and miRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In plants, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can trigger a silencing signal that may spread within a tissue to adjacent cells or even systemically to other organs. Movement of the signal is initially limited to a few cells, but in some cases the signal can be amplified and travel over larger distances. How far silencing initiated by other classes of plant small RNAs (sRNAs) than siRNAs can extend has been less clear. Using a system based on the silencing of the CH42 gene, we have tracked the mobility of silencing signals initiated in phloem companion cells by artificial microRNAs (miRNA) and trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA) that have the same primary sequence. In this system, both the ta-siRNA and the miRNA act at a distance. Non-autonomous effects of the miRNA can be triggered by several different miRNA precursors deployed as backbones. While the tasiRNA also acts non-autonomously, it has a much greater range than the miRNA or hairpin-derived siRNAs directed against CH42, indicating that biogenesis can determine the non-autonomous effects of sRNAs. In agreement with this hypothesis, the silencing signals initiated by different sRNAs differ in their genetic requirements.Nucleic Acids Research 12/2010; 39(7):2880-9.

Article: Orchestration of the Floral Transition and Floral Development in Arabidopsis by the Bifunctional Transcription Factor APETALA2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor APETALA2 (AP2) has numerous functions, including roles in seed development, stem cell maintenance, and specification of floral organ identity. To understand the relationship between these different roles, we mapped direct targets of AP2 on a genome-wide scale in two tissue types. We find that AP2 binds to thousands of loci in the developing flower, many of which exhibit AP2-dependent transcription. Opposing, logical effects are evident in AP2 binding to two microRNA genes that influence AP2 expression, with AP2 positively regulating miR156 and negatively regulating miR172, forming a complex direct feedback loop, which also included all but one of the AP2-like miR172 target clade members. We compare the genome-wide direct target repertoire of AP2 with that of SCHLAFMUTZE, a closely related transcription factor that also represses the transition to flowering. We detect clear similarities and important differences in the direct target repertoires that are also tissue specific. Finally, using an inducible expression system, we demonstrate that AP2 has dual molecular roles. It functions as both a transcriptional activator and repressor, directly inducing the expression of the floral repressor AGAMOUS-LIKE15 and directly repressing the transcription of floral activators like SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1.The Plant Cell 07/2010; 22(7):2156-70.

ABSTRACT: The new research field of metagenomics is providing exciting insights into various, previously unclassified ecological systems. Next-generation sequencing technologies are producing a rapid increase of environmental data in public databases. There is great need for specialized software solutions and statistical methods for dealing with complex metagenome data sets. To facilitate the development and improvement of metagenomic tools and the planning of metagenomic projects, we introduce a sequencing simulator called MetaSim. Our software can be used to generate collections of synthetic reads that reflect the diverse taxonomical composition of typical metagenome data sets. Based on a database of given genomes, the program allows the user to design a metagenome by specifying the number of genomes present at different levels of the NCBI taxonomy, and then to collect reads from the metagenome using a simulation of a number of different sequencing technologies. A population sampler optionally produces evolved sequences based on source genomes and a given evolutionary tree. MetaSim allows the user to simulate individual read datasets that can be used as standardized test scenarios for planning sequencing projects or for benchmarking metagenomic software.PLoS ONE 02/2008; 3(10):e3373.

How do I make SketchUp run faster?
Modelers need to have a way to control how things interact. Grouping stuff is a quick way to segregate related entities from the rest of the model. Things inside the group or component wrapper will not be affected by changes on other parts of the model.
To get more control over a wrapper itself and the contents of the wrapper, jump into the use of components. TaffGoch created a HousePlan file to help people understand how groups and components are used. Open the Entity Info window while examining the file - from the Window menu, SketchUp menu on a Mac. Entity info lists what the parts are and layer location.
Like groups, components throw a segregation wrapper over selected entities. But it does more.
Model major components in a separate file.
Use low-poly, proxy components as place-keepers.

25 days of holiday treats: 2007's No. 20
Corpus Christi resident Josefina Villarreal wrote that this recipe was passed on to her by a family friend and it reminded her of cookies from her family's Christmas in Mexico City.
"My parents are from Mexico and when I bake these they always get smokes from those that remember Christmas from the past and bring the flavors and traditions to the present," Villarreal wrote.
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup pecans ground in food processor or blender
2 teaspoon vanilla
For the coating:
1/2 cup sugar mixed with two heaping teaspoons of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend Butter, vanilla and sugar until creamy. Gradually add flour, then nuts. Shape into walnut size balls. Gently press the cookie dough onto a non-stick cookie sheet with the end of a flat bottom glass, dipping glass into flour in between each cookie to prevent sticking. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, making sure not to over- bake. Toss cookies in sugar mixture while still warm.

Warriors shake off Connacht
Bonus-point win for Scots is their first at Scotstoun
Last Updated: 21/09/12 9:57pm
DTH Van der Merwe scored a brace of second half tries as Glasgow beat RaboDirect Pro12 opponents Connacht 27-17 to collect a bonus point victory in Scotland.
Sean Lamont and Peter Murchie had touched down twice before the break although two Connacht tries against the run of play kept the match interesting for the most of the 80 minutes.
Lamont raced into the corner for Glasgow's opening try on 19 minutes before Murchie added a second nine minutes later when his weaving 40-yard run ended a few yards close to the right post.
The led 15-0 but Connacht narrowed the deficit with Mark McCrea just getting to a clever sidefoot from sub Jack Carty first four minutes before the break.
Glasgow extended their advantage seven minutes into the second half as Van der Merwe grabbed hold of a loose ball before forcing his way over from 20 yards.
However, straight from the re-start a lapse in concentration and a handling error allowed Nathan White to grab a second try for the visitors.
But five minutes from time Van der Merwe finally killed off Connacht with the best try of the game.
Substitute number 10 Ruaridh Jackson worked a bit of magic, Murchie kept the move going before the powerful Canadian sprinted down the wing to secure Glasgow's second triumph of the season.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
NYC fireman and 9/11 first-responder, PJ Schrantz, has launched a grassroots movement called Feel-Good Fridays that challenges Americans to skip a cup of coffee on Fridays and invest $3 to save lives instead.
"When I was at Ground Zero fighting fires, my son was in the oncology ward of a Children's Hospital fighting leukemia," says former NYC fireman PJ Schrantz.
Schrantz's son, Dustin, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two. He fought valiantly for four and a half years, then died in his father's arms at the age of seven. "We were devastated," says Schrantz. "I was helpless to save my son, but now, because of Feel-Good Fridays, I have the honor of helping America's military, firefighters and police save their kids."
Schrantz is the Executive Director of WishGivers, a Florida-based nonprofit charity that helps the critically ill children of America's military, police and firefighters. Schrantz's son, Dustin, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1998, following a routine visit to the pediatrician. The hospital bill for the first ten days of treatment was $54,000-- an amount which exceeded his entire annual income as a NYC fireman. Even with a good insurance policy, following his son's death Schrantz was left with over a million dollars in medical bills.
"The military men and women, police and firefighters who defend our country don't take the job for the money," says Schrantz. "These American heroes put their lives on the line every day because they love our country and want to help people. When a cop or a firefigh

A major 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on 12 January, causing major casualties and damage. The quake was followed by several aftershocks with magnitudes over 5.0.
Such a powerful earthquake can make current maps suddenly out of date, causing additional challenges to rescue workers on the ground. Earth observation satellite images can help rescue efforts by providing updated views of how the landscape and the infrastructure have been affected.
Following the event, the French Civil Protection authorities, the Public Safety of Canada, the American Earthquake Hazards Programme of USGS and the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti requested satellite data of the area from the International Charter on 'Space and Major Disasters'. The initiative, referred to as 'The Charter', is aimed at providing satellite data free of charge to those affected by disasters anywhere in the world.
To meet the requirements of the rescue teams in Haiti, Very High Resolution imagery is needed from both optical and radar sensors. Through the Charter, the international space community is acquiring satellite imagery as quickly as possible. Currently, data are being collected by various satellites including Japan's ALOS, CNES's Spot-5, the U.S.'s WorldView and QuickBird, Canada's RADARSAT-2 and ESA's ERS-2 and Envisat.
Satellite imagery acquired immediately after the event are used to generate emergency maps to provide rescue services with an overview of the current state of the area. These can be compared with situation maps generated from archived satellite data to identify major changes on the ground caused by the disaster.
Comparison of the maps from before and after the event allows areas that have been hit hardest to be distinguished and identify passable routes for relief and rescue workers. Additionally, they can help to identify areas which are suitable for setting up aid camps where medical support and

My blog entry about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., posted yesterday, has thus far earned me accusations of "sophistry," "racism," dishonesty, sympathy for segregation and slavery, ideological alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, and having led a "little," "arrogant," and essentially worthless life.
Such responses have fascinated me, since the point that I was making was simply that flawed people can, despite their failures and failings, be great — and that Dr. King, whom I admire in very many ways, was genuinely great. I thought it an appropriate tribute on a day meant to commemorate his legacy. Some have disagreed, which is fair, but the intemperate and often personally insulting quality of their disagreement has been striking.
Here's the kind of thing that I had in mind: I've always been impressed by this quotation from Lorenzo Snow, who, as a young man, lived in the Smith household and observed Joseph Smith at close hand:
"I saw the imperfections in [Joseph]. . . . I thanked God that He would put upon a man who had those imperfections the power and authority He placed upon him . . . for I knew that I myself had weaknesses, and I thought there was a chance for me. . . . I thanked God that I saw these imperfections." (President Lorenzo Snow, private journal entry, quoted in Neal A. Maxwell, "Out of Obscurity," Ensign [November 1984], 10.)
My post ended, yesterday, with a refusal to pronounce final judgment and an expression of hope for mercy from a merciful Heavenly Father. That wasn't just window-dressing. And I explicitly included myself in that hope for mercy,
Incidentally, the coincidence probably means nothing, really, but it's noteworthy to me that Joseph Smith and Martin Luther King lived to almost precisely the same age, and that both were cut down by gunfire from cowardly bigots.

NBA stars up their style game off the court
Tall, trim and wearing catwalk clothes: Pro basketball stars have stepped up their style to become influential tastemakers.
On the court, of course, they're in uniform, with a lot of red and black donned by the Miami Heat, and silver and black on the San Antonio Spurs, during the NBA Finals. But actual play time is only 48 minutes, leaving a whole lot of time for a statement wardrobe.
And what statements they've been making of late: Capri pants, polka dots and floral prints, fedora hats and lens-less glasses are among the looks that have garnered them almost as much attention as their hard-court moves. Some of the top players now have stylists, and you'll find players like Dwyane Wade, Tyson Chandler, Amar'e Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook in the front row of fashion shows.
In fact, Wade is already planning a trip to Milan Fashion week after his Miami Heat wrap up their attempt to defend their title in the NBA Finals (it remains to be seen whether he'll be going in a celebratory mood; the Heat lost Game 1 of the seven-game series, which resumes on Sunday).
Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, who describes his own style as ''a little edgy,'' is a fashion show front-row regular who finds that world intriguing.
''Fashion is a very different world than basketball. ... It all happens so quick,'' said Anthony, the league's leading scorer this season, in a recent interview. ''There's all that time they put in for a three-minute fashion show.''
The 6-foot-8 star, who gets many of his threads custom-made, came into the NBA already a fan of fashion. He doesn't consider all the attention and energy that goes into it a distraction: ''I just like it, I like to look good and I feel good about myself.''
The high-fashion, even nerd-fashion sported by the NBA's top athletes are a far cry from the hip-hop, baggy-pants street style that permeated the league in the 1990s, best exemplified by the likes of Allen Iverson.
The league frowned upon that look, and in 2005, instituted a dress code that demanded players dress in ''business casual'' attire when they were on league business.
But instead of wearing uniform suits, many NBA players have used the opportunity to showcase their individuality. Westbrook's shirts, which have ranged from leopard-print to bright cartoon designs, could hardly be described business-like, but they are certainly casual and unique.
Wade took a lot of flak when he started down the more flamboyant route, says Calyann Barnett, Wade's stylist, but now it seems everyone else is nipping at his Christian Louboutin wingtip-sneaker heels.
Lang Whitaker, an editor for the NBA style blog, likes seeing someone such as Wade take a fashion risk, including the shrunken pants a la directional designer Thom Browne. ''A lot of guys wouldn't have tried it, let alone pull it off. Dwyane knew he'd get made fun of on (TNT'S) `Inside (the) NBA,' but he still wore it and wore it well,'' he said.
Barnett says there's a reason why basketball stars are becoming fashion trend-setters.
''Basketball is more fashionable than other sports,'' said Barnett. ''First of all, you see their faces. You don't see a football player's face most of the time, they're wearing a helmet. And basketball players have the best bodies. They are tall, muscular and wear clothes well. A lot of football players get thick in the neck, and baseball players can get thick legs.''
Cam Newton, quarterback for the NFL's Carolina Panthers, takes issue with that. He says all top-tier athletes should dress well to show respect for their fans and appreciation for their opportunities. First of all, he was raised that way, wearing a suit to church in Atlanta on Sundays, and, he says, his coaches have emphasized it.
But Newton allows that the NBA's overall look has nudged players in other sports to get their fashion game on.
''I don't think it's not manly to say, `Wow, did you see that nice tuxedo that guy had on?' It makes me want to look better,'' says Newton, who is launching his own fashion label at the Southern department store chain Belk.
Of course, fashionable athletes didn't sprout up in the last decade. Back in the 1970s, players such as Walt ''Clyde'' Frazier and Julius ''Dr. J'' Irving prided themselves on their flashy looks. Now, Frazier says his style is as much a part of his persona as the legends of his playing days. ''My brand is style and cool. That's why we're talking, right? The pressure is on me every time I go out.''
Frazier, a broadcaster for the New York Knicks, stays on top of trends - and hopes to make some.
''I go to fabric stores and take the fabric to my tailor. I've taken cow, leopard, tiger prints to him. And there's another guy who does my ties, and another guy who does my shoes. When I first started, I wore penny loafers and plain button-down collared shirts, but I live in the mecca of fashion and I've learned,'' he said.
As for today's fashion-forward players, Frazier said: ''These guys are millionaires and should act like it.
''They stay in four-star hotels, go to the best restaurants, it's not appropriate to go to these places in a tracksuit. If they worked at that high a level for any other corporation in America, with their salaries, they'd have to wear a suit and tie. It's not too much to ask.''
Michael Conley Jr. of the Memphis Grizzlies doesn't mind. He says his clothes are a way to introduce more of his personality to fans.
''I realized that my appearance both on and off the court went hand-in- hand with the leadership role I was going to be taking on this year with the Memphis Grizzlies. I especially felt that off the court, it was important to improve and invest more time into my appearance, which would hopefully translate into a positive professional image,'' Conley wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
''It just comes down to knowing who you are and where you're going in your career and what you want to be known for.''
Fashion is another way to have a little friendly competition, too.
''It is fun seeing all the guys showing off their style during the season and especially during the playoffs. It makes for good conversation and locker-room jokes,'' Conley says.
Whitaker recalls that when he first starting covering the NBA, it was a parade of jeans, sweatshirts and boots coming off the bus at each stop. ''Now, they have to dress up,'' he says, ''and it's about who can dress up best.''

The Eliasberg-Flannagan 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, Two Leaves MS62 PCGS, B-1, BB-211795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves MS62 PCGS. B-1, BB-21, R.1. Ex: Cardinal Collection. This coin stands within or very near to the Condition Census for the variety. Previously owned by Louis Eliasberg, among others, it is an exceptionally pleasing piece that any numismatist will appreciate for its smooth fields and exceptional surfaces. The strike is generally sharp, but slight softness of detail is noted on the hair curls of Liberty, and on the eagle's breast feathers. There are a few adjustment marks (as produced) on the upper reverse, near the rim and through TES. Both sides are originally toned in warm shades of pale lilac and golden-tan, with hints of sky-blue near the borders. A pair of interesting die lumps (as struck) rest on Liberty's neck, directly below and not far from the ear. A faint diagonal scrape is seen behind the eye, and a bit of insignificant chatter is noted, for the sake of accuracy, on Liberty's forehead.
This variety is one of several with the Two Leaves reverse and Head of '95 obverse. The reverse displays 19 berries, with 9 on the left branch of the wreath, and 10 on the right. On the obverse, Liberty's lowest hair curl is nearly closed, and touches Star 1. The 7 in the date has been recut over a previous number 1.
Late in 1795, the designs of the Flowing Hair coins were changed, not because of striking issues, but because people didn't like the rendering of Liberty. The design change was authorized and the Philadelphia Mint engaged the famous portrait artist Gilbert Stuart to redesign the silver dollar. These new designs were a hit, and were quickly adopted on all United States silver coinage (obverse and reverse) and copper coinage (reverse). After a few more years the Small Eagle reverse design was replaced with a new reverse style which was loosely copied from the Great Seal of the United States. Therefore, this Flowing Hair 1795 silver dollar became a very short-lived type coin, and today remains one of the most popular of all Bust dollar designs. For the specialist, the presently offered coin deserves very serious attention.

Originally written on Crossover Chronicles | Last updated 11/28/12
Seems despite playing overseas in Turkey and a couple of stops in the NBA, Omer Asik still hasn't learned which basket is the aim when scoring for his team. In last night's Rockets-Raptors matchup, Asik tipped in the ball for Toronto in the second quarter but what is hilarious is how emphatic he was going headstrong for the rebound but only to fail miserably. Seriously, it's like his mind was willing but his hands flaked out at the last second. And check out the dejected look Jeremy Lin has after he realizes Asik's fail. [follow]

Having a good old laugh at comments assuring Spies will be kicking Lorenzo's behind any time soon. Sure BS is having a run of bad luck and even though we all
know the talent is there he has got to seriously raise his game on race day. He needs a little consistency and the results will improve but do not see him up at the sharp end just yet.
The championship table springs a few surprises, Elias and Abraham ahead of Simo and Spies... LOL !

iHerb Customer Reviews
My hands were a disaster, i didn't think i'd be able to make the skin look good again. They looked 20 years older than i am. But this stuff completely healed them, made them soft and smooth, like they used to look. It's a big bottle too, well worth the money.
Couldn't believe the results. I'm in my 60 and I had horizontal lines running across my calf's which is depressing as I wear shorts all the time. But happy to say I applied this cream and they disappeared straight away - now that is amazing

2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves, but unlike recent entries in the Alex Cross series, it doesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, but there's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even better developed here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing and interesting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick their necks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a James Patterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew. --Barrie Trinkle --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
If you have enjoyed any other of Patterson's Woman's Murder Club book's, you will enjoy this one as well. It's not the best of the series, but it's worth a read!Published 2 months ago by Corina

Soul Calibur Fan Art and Original Design
Hi all,
Was reading a preview of Soul Calibur 4 on IGN and found some awesome concept art for the game, so being bored decided to copy a few of them, then decided to update one of my own characters in said style.
The first 3 girls are straight up copies of artwork from the game and the coloured piece is my own creation (hence right leg being a bit short as noticed when i coloured it!!).
I was a bit confused on how to create the "power up" swooshes, and also how to texture the hair, but i think I did the job not too bad.
Anyway hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

... Giant... Melons. @_@
But in all seriousness, You should work on anatomy more, other than what I just said before, there are other parts of the body that seem to be out of proportion. There's also the sense of "flatness" coming through with your drawings. You've attempted to shade the shapes of the legs etc in there, make the contrasts a bit stronger to show more of a curve, and make sure the garments actually wrap and twist with the shape of the body parts they are tightly applied to, a keen sense of perspective might be required there.

hey thanks for the reply,
yea they are quite big i know haha, but was just following the trend in the art i was trying to immitate, as you can see from the copies above (i actually included them in this thread as i too thought this)
Looking at it again I do see quite a bit of obsquirity in the anatomy/pose. I have only been doing life drawing for approximatly 2 years on and off, so am a relative newbie, and i used no reference for the pose.
Again with the colouring I am not too confident with photoshop and it takes me a long time to colour, maybe I am doing it the hard way? (new layer- multipy for each colour, then zoom right in to tidy up) but it takes forever to get it looking decent so to be honest i was being lazy and thought it looked good as it is. If you could maybe post a link to something that could help i'd quite enjoy to look at it.
anyway I appreciate your comments. thanks.

Well, one thing you gotta remember is we all start somewhere! It sounds like you're a little disappointed in yourself in that last reply there: Don't be!!! It's a learning experience and you've just made a crack in the wall that's stopping you from moving forward.
I'm still a novice too but here's a couple recommendations: Don't use Layering effects like Multiply to get the shading down. Feel free to make a new layer if you want, but select the shading colours yourself and then have a go at putting the shading over the top of the image MANUALLY (meaning the layer mode being set to "Normal", not "multiply"). It might take a while but it's a learning experience, once you've coloured as best you can, you can hit ctrl + U to open the Hue + Saturation window, twiddle with the things on there until you get the colour of the shading just right.
What you'd have done there, is attempted to shade it manually, and then checked to see if you made the shading too dark, too light, too saturated, to DEsaturated etc, and then learn to go to bigger or smaller "extremes" the next time you try to shade something. Yeah?
And yes, you can never get enough life drawing research in there! So keep going for it, if you decide to shade a piece using a pencil, then use the direction of the pencil strokes to represent curves in masses etc, or rather *experiment* with doing that, experiment with smudging the shading lines after doing that, see what works better or worse to convey the shape of something. Put the pencil down and go away for a couple minutes to do something else, then look at your pic again (it'll be like seeing it with fresh eyes, errors will stand out more).
It's tough work, but it pays off. And don't worry, I know that Soul Calibur has a tendancy to make body parts more... voluptuous. Keep going, more practice!

You should look for techniques here and youtube for some digital painting techniques? Youtube has loads of speedies, they're helpful for observing.
Oh wait I have a good basic tutorial around here...somewhere...GOT IT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi_3HymnpXE
That's a nice, easy-to-follow, basic technique for painting.
I'd scrap that color job you did, and perhaps practice with PS a little more, follow some tuts on here until you feel confident.

I know that they are super melon, but have you seen the artwork from Soul Calibur lately? he's got their boobies spot on!
Drawing from video game characters is how I started out, and it was good for a little while but you can benefit from some regular ole normal people studies too. Keep it up!

thanks for all the replies, first up to BlightedArt im not dissapointed in myself atall! although it is a bit of a bugger when you realise whats actually wrong with what you've just spent the last 2 or 3 hours doing! haha although thats the whole point of these forums right?, and yes i plan to keep doin life drawing for aslong as I can, hopefully it will help alot with my structure and keep the poses looking good.
Also thanks for the links to the colouring video, obviously it doesnt teach much, but what it does is open my eyes a bit more so i can stear away from my regular painstaking routine of using a layer for each colour, and then having to tidy up each of those layers by hand!! ill be looking more into this and impliment it into my next work.
And lastly thanks for the support Cherri, (although i am a "He" not a "She" lol, but no worries!!) ill try and put up some of my life drawings from the last year or two, only problem is finding a good enough camera to actually get them on here (all A3 size apart from sketch book)
Anyway again thanks for the replies, will keep the comments in mind!
