I started this concept under the working-title " Daytimer " , but then it turned out a little bit different . That's just why he's looking some kind like the Daytimer I've drawn before . Not important . So what to say about this , I dunno , it took me of course longer than a normal concept , but not as long as I thought . As I allready mentioned , It durned out different and I'm not sure about it . I still have a lot of problems with human anatomy and robe-foldings , have to work on that ...
So , tell me what you think ....

The colors are great and the flow of the fabric is really nice.
The anatomy is hurting it a little bit because the hands and arm aren't as well done as everything else.
July 14th, 2007 #3
I love the radiation composition, the colors and the sense of ight are beautifully done as well.
Im not sure if this guy is Human... If he turns out to be a creature with totally non-human proportions under that cloak, Please ignore everything below.
His left foreare is too long.. it's substantially longer than his left upper arm. Also both his hands are too small.
His right leg from knee down dosent look long enough, and the foreshortening on his left leg is strange..
Sorry Im not an anatomy expert, but It still does look strange in some areas.

I dont know whether you want a manga stlye or not, to me it seems a little flat, add some highlight at the edge to make it solid
July 14th, 2007 #5
Great colors and textures. I really like how the swords shine.
July 14th, 2007 #6
As it's been said before, proportions are a bit off but that doesnt bother me too much. It's a good concept. Reminds me of prince of persia hehehe

Thanks Spiral fish =)
Yeah hands are too small ... probably I'm gonna correct this . His left arm was thought to be a little bit different , like in my overdrawing . Thanks for the help =)
July 14th, 2007 #8
ok , resized the hand a bit =)
July 14th, 2007 #9
Just a minor nitpick, because I think everything else in this picture is absolutely gorgeous. I don't get the sense that the hands are holding the weapons. The fingers are resting on top of them, but don't seem to be wrapping around. Also, in the right hand (the one raised up), I think moving the thumb over the index finger or to the side will give your guy more leverage to wield his weapon; right now I can't imagine it feels too comfortable for him.
If it's all right, I tried doing a paintover to illustrate another option. The fingers have been moved closer, to follow the line of the weapons. I'm no genius at hands, so take this with a grain of salt.

so does this character have floating abilities? If he's jumping, why is all his weight shifted behind him?
Perspective/Anatomy/Imbalances/Weightlessness: You have so many anatomy and perspective issues in the figure/form, that this visually makes the character appear weightless and imbalanced beyond measures. First off, no one jumps like that, as a matter of fact try it yourself and see if you can land on your feet (If you can in fact jump in that position). The reason your character gives the imbalanced approach, is because all of his weight is being shifted towards his back. If your character is not balanced, whats keeping him upright? Also even in such position, the fact the each body part is so stiff further assists the weightless appearance you have going on.
TIP: expressing an action with your character, a little thing I do first is create a few quick alternative dynamic forms to distinguish which action I'd like my character to use. After that I question several things. Form: which form will I be using for my character? Balance/weight: Will this form provide grounds for weight? Is the positioning causing the weight to balance throughout the character, making the figure appear believable in terms of weight, balance and free-motion?
Take a look at the characters right arm. The way you positioned and painted the arm makes it appear more as an overview instead of under. In other words, the lighting and positioning makes the arm look similar to the top of an arm, the exact opposite of what you tried accomplishing in your painting. Why is his arm going back? Well because this part of the body seen in your painting is missing values. Why is the entire arm (beginning from the shoulder all the way to the forearm) lighten up if the light is behind or on top of the character? again, this assists the perspective issue. Even As you compare the bottom of the right arm to the top where the wrist ends and hand begins, you'll notice the error. His arm is pointing one way that looks like its moving behind the character (Again, as I mentioned with the lighting), and his hand (Grabbing the sword right above the character) is bending in an awkward position to grasp the sword that seems to be too far from the arm . Now, that probably would have worked in your favor if the right handed blade was smaller compared to the one in the foreground held by the left hand. Which brings me to another point, why is the left hand which is obviously closer to the viewer, the same if not exact size compared to the right hand which is "suppose" to be further away from the viewer? These perspective issues make your character appear flat and dull, the action is unbelievable because theres no true form (everything seems to be going one way or another, nothing flows the way it should). Technically you have more perspective errors than anatomy errors, but that doesn't make the anatomy any less significant. Those arms are too long, the right knee is bending in an awkward position (whatever green outlining you did, does not fit what you have in your painting. That boot is showing a bit too much). The way the right knee is bending compared to the lower leg does not make any sense, because the upper leg area is going one way, and the lower leg/calf area is going another.
Error: If you were to split the painting in half, you'd have two different pictures that could fit in two completely different paintings of the same character. Because of everything I mentioned above, including the lighting. Take a look at this split off, you'll see what I mean:
Colouring and lighting: You seem to only have 3 or 4 different base colours in this painting, all of which are of different saturations but consist of the same tone. Please, do yourself a favor and start separating yourself from this idea right now as it will only hurt your paintings in the future. I feel as if maybe your a bit to frightened to experiment with colours, which is completely natural to everyone. But it is best to experiment now and make tons of mistakes so that you can learn from them for the future. You could have very well added some purple and yellow hues to the mix, maybe even some green under-lighting to determine where you have your warm and cool colours (because atm, those warms and cools are completely inexistant in this painting). It seems that a lot of people (Not just of the younger generation, but everyone) misses out on traditional mediums of color paints like acrylics, oils, watercolor, pastels, etc. Which is why growing artists are having so much problems with color and understanding it. With everything, you need to study with what you see. Learn how colours can blend into each other and know when to do it. Also, I noticed some people going around saying backgrounds don't matter. Its good you have one, because they matter just as much as the character itself. However, you need to learn how to use backgrounds to bring your character out more. It's all about using variety of lights and darks in the background to make the character stand out. It really does bring out the life in a painting.
A couple things I will compliment you on; Good job not rendering in black. Although I will say that some places can seem a little darker than they should be, you seem to have a little knowledge in colour shades which is good. Once your at that point, step 1 is complete. You also have a decent eye for detail, but you need to get the characterization down first before that could even apply.
All in all, theres light at the end of the tunnel for you, but you need to keep up with those studies, whether or not you stick to digital is beyond me. It seems to be the growing thing nowadays anyway, but really push both color and dynamics more. It'll help you out in the long run, as does anything you really apply yourself too. I hope my ramblings didn't discourage you, I probably sounded worst than I meant to, its just natural to my character so don't take it personally. Keep it up, and best of luck with your future endeavours!

Avs snap Ducks' 11-game home winning streak
"We played one period of hockey," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. "We didn't play very well after the first period. They turned it up, and we stopped doing what we needed to do and started getting quick. We played too soft around the puck. Some individuals had bad nights."
The Ducks played with just five defensemen after a flurry of trades in the previous 48 hours. Anaheim bolstered its struggling blue line by acquiring defensemen Lubomir Visnovsky from Edmonton and Aaron Ward from Carolina, shipping Ryan Whitney to the Oilers just one day after he returned from winning a silver medal with the U.S. team in Vancouver.
The Avalanche also were active at the deadline, reacquiring veteran Stephane Yelle before swapping 48-point scorer Wolski for Mueller, who had just 17 points in 54 games with Phoenix. Colorado is betting a change of scenery will inspire the former No. 8 overall draft pick.
"His first game, new team, new surroundings, I thought he did a real nice job," Sacco said. "He created some offense like we expected him to. He did a good job defensively. I just think he'll continue to improve and get better."
After his goal, Mueller took a foolish tripping penalty early in the third period, ruining a power play for the Avalanche - but Anaheim's Steve Eminger created the power play that led to Duchene's score by flipping the puck over the glass moments later for a delay-of-game call.
NOTES: Anaheim also exchanged backup goalies with Calgary, getting Curtis McElhinney for Vesa Toskala, who never played in a game for the Ducks after arriving in a trade with Toronto in late January. ... RW Dan Sexton was back in Anaheim's lineup for the first time since Jan. 29 after spending the last month in the minors. He scored 18 points in 28 games earlier this season.

The Loomis Chaffee Varsity Water Polo Pelicans closed out their regular season with a strong victory over rival Williston Northampton School. Both teams entered the contest on short preparation due to the snowstorm and ensuing power outage in the Northeast. Jake Bosee got things going for the Pelicans with a nice catch and shoot, Addison Wright followed with a counterattack goal and a 5m free throw goal following a nice shot from Williston's Diaz that skipped past Loomis goalie Ryan Shelby. With two minutes left in the period, Loomis put forward a good push with Jamil Hashmi, Sam Broda and Wright all scoring to give the Pelicans a 6-1 lead as the teams traded ends of the pool.
The second period opened with Will Bogle scoring from 2m, which Williston's Mendoza answered with a counterattack goal. After a mid-period timeout, the Pelicans put forward another good push with Tyler Rehor converting a power play, Bosee scoring from the flat and Phil DeLaMater sniping a beautiful cross-cage shot from the perimeter to give Loomis a 10-3 edge at the half.
Attacking the deep end in the third period, Loomis's offense leaned on Will Bogle who scored on two nice shots from the strong flat. Wright then drew an ejection and converted the power play to put Loomis up 13-4. Williston capitalized on a power play of their own but a bunch of fresh players came off the bench late in the period to strengthen Loomis's counterattack, and Landon Theis, Steven Wang, Sam Broda and Doug Gorman each contributed a goal.
Williston came on strong in the 4th quarter as they attacked the deep end in the final frame. Williston's Cavanaugh scored twice, Mendoza tallied another two and Friere scored one as the Wildcats fought back to narrow the margin to 17-10. The Pelican offense stalled a bit but Loomis sophomores Jeremy Bogle, Tripp Miller and John Furlong gained valuable experience. Hats off to Loomis goalie Ryan Shelby who posted 16 saves, a steal and three assists on the day.
Loomis is awaiting notification about post season tournament details.
As the Loomis Chaffee water polo team headed into its final week of 2014 play, the Pelicans faced off against long-time Founders League rival Choate in a rematch of a closely contested early season contest. When the waves on the pool settled, the Pelicans emerged from the water with an 18-13 margin of victory.
The Loomis Chaffee boys varsity water polo team avenged an early-season loss to Hotchkiss on Wednesday with a 14-7 win over the Bearcats in Lakeville.

It makes no sense, and I sure wouldn't go spend $1200 on hardware upgrades when I know all that would do is allow me to play it looking the same as FarCry at something like 26 frames per second...still unplayable in my book.
Hell, I'd sooner just play FarCry again. That's all this is anyway is Far Cry redone.
Yes it IS funny and as I said too bad to be true. I think your software/driver setup is faulty somehow.

Winning the crown of Miss Texas took Molly Hazlett away from home, so her return to her hometown of Centerville was filled with a lot of fan fare.
As she made her way along I-45, she was greeted by the Lone Star Princesses and a huge billboard baring her likeness.
"I had no idea this was coming," Hazlett said. "I knew there'll probably be a little banner in town or something, but this is just more than what I could have asked for."
That was only the beginning. Family, friends, and proud citizens welcomed home their shining star with a reception at Centerville High School.
While competing for the Miss Texas title, Molly got her strength from home. Her mother Sherri says Molly's confidence in herself made it easy to back her decision to enter the Miss Texas pageant.
"She's always been willing to try new things so I was there to support her," Sherri said.
Now, Molly is achieving what she is always sought.
"It's amazing to be able to tell people that I'm living my dream," Molly said.
It's a dream her dad Joel vividly recalls as she was growing up.
"She used to prance around the house in long dress in her mom's shoes," he said. "It's just something she's always wanted."
Younger brother Joseph says she has always been a role model, and that made her the perfect choice to represent to Lone Star state.
"She carries herself like Miss Texas," Joseph said. "She looks like a Miss Texas. She's beautiful and awesome."
Being a positive role model is something Molly has a lot of experience doing. She danced right into it at the age of 15.
"I've been a dance teacher for five years, but I don't think of it only as a dance studio," Hazlett said. "I've been a big sister to all these girls."
Those in Centerville like Lone Star Princess Kyndall Magyar say it is her ability to connect with people that makes her so inspiring to everyone she meets.
"She's always around people, and she's so nice," Magyar said. "She makes you feel so special, and it's just very nice to be around her."
It was clear there was enough pride in Centerville on Saturday to fill up the state of Texas.
On January 26, Molly will travel to Las Vegas to compete for the Miss America crown.
The pageant will be televised on TLC.

These texts would bring appreciation for fine food to average Americans and continue to dictate how we eat and cook today.
cook and other experts also strongly suspect that sexual violence is more highly underreported in this age group than any other.
Somehow, at 9,000 feet above sea level, our cook, Brahim, had created a delicious tagine with fresh vegetables.
Old English coc, from Vulgar Latin cocus "cook," from Latin coquus, from coquere "to cook, prepare food, ripen, digest, turn over in the mind" from PIE root *pekw- "to cook" (cf. Oscan popina "kitchen," Sanskrit pakvah "cooked," Greek peptein, Lithuanian kepti "to bake, roast," Old Church Slavonic pecenu "roasted," Welsh poeth "cooked, baked, hot"). Germanic languages had no one native term for all types of cooking, and borrowed the Latin word (Old Saxon kok, Old High German choh, German Koch, Swedish kock).
There is the proverb, the more cooks the worse potage. [Gascoigne, 1575]
late 14c., from cook (n.); the figurative sense of "to manipulate, falsify, doctor" is from 1630s. Related: Cooked, cooking. To cook with gas is 1930s jive talk.
a person employed to perform culinary service. In early times among the Hebrews cooking was performed by the mistress of the household (Gen. 18:2-6; Judg. 6:19), and the process was very expeditiously performed (Gen. 27:3, 4, 9, 10). Professional cooks were afterwards employed (1 Sam. 8:13; 9:23). Few animals, as a rule, were slaughtered (other than sacrifices), except for purposes of hospitality (Gen. 18:7; Luke 15:23). The paschal lamb was roasted over a fire (Ex. 12:8, 9; 2Chr. 35:13). Cooking by boiling was the usual method adopted (Lev. 8:31; Ex. 16:23). No cooking took place on the Sabbath day (Ex. 35:3).

Cardiff Hotels - It may be a capital city, but Cardiff is as renowned for its sweeping green spaces as it is for its cosmopolitan buzz – the emerald acres of Bute Park in the heart of the city are wonderful to wander on a sunny day. Cardiff is also a shopping mecca, thanks to the immense St David's complex which is full of high street and high-end stores, not to mention the atmospheric Edwardian and Victorian arcades with their quaint boutiques and craft shops. The nightlife here is also famous – party animals should head for Cardiff Bay, a glittering hive of bars and restaurants overlooking rippling waters. Things to see Almost surreally situated amid the shops and cafes of the city center, Cardiff Castle encompasses almost 2,000 years of history. Venture within and you'll see old Roman walls, the Norman shell keep, the proud medieval towers, and jaw-dropping décor such as the honeycomb-like ceiling of the Arab Room. A more contemporary attraction is the Wales Millennium Centre – its huge coppery façade, inscribed with Welsh poetry in huge letters, is now a symbol of the city, and it's where you can catch blockbuster shows, stand-up comedy and opera. Sports fans will want to visit the Millennium Stadium, that cathedral of rugby and football, which has hosted everything from the FA Cup Final to Rugby World Cup. Famed as one of the main filming locations for Doctor Who, Cardiff also boasts the Doctor Who Experience, a fully interactive adventure where fans can enter the Tardis and come face to face with Daleks and Cybermen. Meanwhile, the world's biggest pop and rock stars regularly perform at the Motorpoint Arena – formerly known as Cardiff International Arena. Hotels in Cardiff Looking to push the boat out while visiting the Welsh capital? Then you're in luck, because there are a number of high-end hotels in Cardiff featuring luxury spa facilities, panoramic views of the bay and the city center, and Champagne bars. That said, there are also plenty of mid-level Cardiff hotels which offer stylish, air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The outskirts of the city and the bay area also feature quaint boutique hotels with antique furnishings and unique décor, while cost-effective bed and breakfasts can also be readily found near the city center. Where to stay With a few exceptions such as Roath Park lake (ideal if you fancy showing off your rowing skills), Cardiff is all about the city center. It's here that visitors spend much of their time, thanks to the endless array of shops and restaurants ready to be explored. Whether you're a business traveler, a family or a couple, you probably won't stray far from one of the prettiest urban centers in the country. That said, if you do feel like seeing more of South Wales during your stay, Bridgend is well worth checking out for its nightlife and beaches. How to get to For overseas visitors and those in more distant British cities like Edinburgh and Newquay, Cardiff International Airport is a very convenient way of getting to South Wales. If you're coming in by train, chances are you'll be arriving at Cardiff Central Station, which has direct connections with London, Bristol and other major cities, while Cardiff Queen Street Station has services to the Welsh Valleys and Bridgend Station. Getting around Cardiff itself is simplicity itself, as the city center can be easily explored on foot while there are regular buses to Cardiff Bay and the suburbs.

Activists urge Crist to prevent voter disenfranchisement
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
The group Progress Florida today launched a statewide petition campaign urging Gov. Charlie Crist to prevent what they claim are efforts designed to confuse and disenfranchise voters this election.
Those include reports of possible Voters Caging, and the new âNo Match, No Voteâ law.
Mark Ferrulo, with Progress Florida, wants Crist to speak out on mailings that were sent to registered Democrats in several Florida counties, including Hillsborough. The mailings say recipients are actually registered Republicans and provides a fake registration number.
Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland, a Republican, called it âmail fraudâ and said it was âconfusing to voters.â Hollandâs office was inundated with calls from recipients of the mailing.
Progress Florida is also calling on Crist to suspend the âNo Match, No Voteâ law until after this election cycle.
As previously reported by WMNF, the law, which went into effect on Sept. 8, has been criticized by other voting rights groups. They worry that new voters whose registration information does not match up with the stateâs Department of Safety and Motor Vehicles or with the Social Security Administration will be disenfranchised.
Floridaâs "No Match, No Vote" law was also criticized today by Estelle Rogers, an attorney with the group Project Vote.
Earlier this week, the Washington, D.C., based group the Advancement Project issued a report on the problems with voting by provisional ballot. The report said 20 percent of those who voted via provisional ballot in Hillsborough County in November 2006 had their vote ultimately rejected.
Florida is one of 30 states who will only allow you to vote by provisional ballot if you vote in your correct precinct.
Floridaâs Secretary of State office is being inundated with new registrations. The stateâs Division of Elections sent out a memo yesterday requesting help from from local supervisors of Elections to help in preparing those registrations.

Go Mad: Banana Republic And AMC Announce Return Of The 'Mad Men' Collection for Spring
In response to the success with their Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 Banana Republic 'Mad Men' collections, Banana Republic and AMC are have announced that the Banana Republic 'Mad Men' collection is back with a third installment for Spring 2013.
Designed by Banana Republic in collaboration with Emmy® Award-winning Costume Designer for "Mad Men," Janie Bryant, the collection takes its inspiration from costumes featured in the show, reflecting the mod vibe of the late '60s. The capsule moves away from the Camelot era's early '60s look and into the late '60s mod fashions. Spring's collection incorporates fresh bold prints, bright colors and new silhouettes, all demonstrated through the versatile and instantly wearable Banana Republic lens.
"With a new era of fashion inspiration, the design process was exciting for us and allowed for lots of creativity, which is completely visible in the end result," said Simon Kneen, Banana Republic Creative Director and Executive Vice President. "We took Janie's mod inspiration for the costumes on-screen and translated it in a way that today's Don or Megan will aspire to wear."
The Banana Republic design team, led by Kneen, worked closely with Bryant to ensure the capsule reflected key style elements from the series. Behind the scenes, Bryant kicked off the design process by sharing her favorite costumes. Key influences include Joan's form-fitting silhouette pieces, Megan's shift dresses in psychedelic prints and bold colors, Peggy's matching accessories, and Megan's youthful effect on Don's classically traditional wardrobe.
The menswear collection includes bold plaids and stripes, the emergence of the sport coat, and the sophisticated suit for the boardroom. The women's collection celebrates color, print and pattern in iconic items like the era's popular shift dress with shorter hemlines, keyhole details, and checked capris. Accessories include a mirrored heel shoe, graphic scarves, and geometric jewelry for women along with fedoras and skinny ties for men, which complete the look with a nod to the time period while relating to modern runway trends seen for spring 2013.
"In my work with Simon for the Banana Republic 'Mad Men' Spring 2013 collection, the spirit and fashion-forward thinking we see on-screen in Megan was really inspirational for the capsule," said Bryant. "I am excited about what we've done together, and I know that Banana Republic customers and 'Mad Men' fans are going to be thrilled with our new collection this spring."
The Banana Republic 'Mad Men' Spring 2013 collection will appear in Banana Republic's March advertising campaign, which will appear in print, outdoor, online, direct mail and in store. Join the conversation on Twitter using #BRMadMen.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Patrick Burke and his father Brian are keeping the project alive.
Congratulations to the You Can Play Project, which is celebrating its first anniversary. The goal of the project is to end homophobia in sports generally and especially in hockey. Co-founded by National Hockey League scout Patrick Burke to continue his younger brother Brendan Burke's campaign against homophobia, the project is sponsored by the National Hockey League.
Brendan Burke, the youngest son of Brian Burke, former general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs and of the U.S. Olympic hockey team, came out in November 2009. An athlete and student manager for Miami University of Ohio's hockey team, Burke was widely praised for his courage in advocating against homophobia in sports. Tragically, he died in an automobile accident on February 5, 2010.
Following his death, Burke's memory and contribution to glbtq awareness in sports was honored especially in Canada. The You Can Play campaign was inspired by his openness and advocacy on behalf of gay athletes.
The project's founding and first year is the subject of a feature article by Bruce Arthur in Canada's National Post. Arthur reports that in its first year, "You Can Play videos have been recorded by about 60 NHL players, 18 universities and colleges in Canada and the United States, 10 AHL teams, two Major League Soccer teams, one National Lacrosse League team, the rapper Macklemore, Nashville Predators minority owner Brett Wilson, TSN's hockey panel, and others."
Describing the project as "a key source of education for athletes," Arthur says that "As sports lurches towards a sort of Jackie Robinson moment for gay athletes, You Can Play has become the most significant progressive voice in sports."
When Arthur says that Patrick Burke is the right person to lead the campaign, Patrick interrupts him to say, "I think Brendan was the right guy for this, . . . I'm just trying to fill his shoes. Brendan would have done this better, easier, been a lot more likeable. This is something he should have been doing."
In a column at Outsports, Patrick Burke reflects further on the project's first year.
"We've had some very cool things happen this year. All of our NHL videos. The AHL Pledge campaign. Macklemore speaking out against anti-gay language. Our partnerships with the Canadian Women's Hockey League and the America East Conference. Having major Division 1 athletic powerhouses invite young LGBT athletes to their school. Marching in Vancouver Pride with Manny Malhotra, Jason Garrison, and Fin. Really amazing, ground-breaking stuff, to be honest."
"But," he continues, "I am most proud of two ongoing facets of our work: the principles that are guiding us, and our work amplifying the voices of LGBT athletes."
"I am immensely proud of the LGBT athletes I have been lucky enough to work with this year. I know my role in this fight is to be an ally to the LGBT athletic community. My way of doing that is, whenever possible, by providing them with an opportunity to share their stories. I rarely, rarely give speeches alone, preferring instead to moderate a panel of LGBT athletes."
"When issues arise in the sports world, we work to ensure that the LGBT viewpoints are given the appropriate weight. For example, in response to the recent controversies in the NFL, we have worked to ensure that the voices of Wade Davis and Esera Tuaolo, both gay former NFL players, are the voices publicly representing You Can Play. I fail to see how I could call myself an ally if I wasn't actually allied with anyone."
Burke cites such glbtq athletes as Jose Estevez, a gay runner from Boston College; Angela Hucles, a two-time Olympic medalist and professional soccer player; hockey player Scott Heggart who came out in high school via YouTube videos; and Cory Oskam a transgender goalie from Vancouver.
(Heggart's inspiring story was the subject of a blog post here, in which I discussed the young man's coming out through YouTube videos as a distinctly twenty-first century phenomenon that has precedent in the diary writing and journal keeping of earlier eras when countless numbers of young men and women explored their feelings by writing about them.)
Burke points out that "Like any culture, the athletic culture is incredibly resistant to outsiders attempting to change things. One of our great strengths as a group is that all of us--from myself, to my co-founders, to our advisory board, to our speakers--are members of the sports world. We are not outsiders telling athletes they're bad people. We are fellow athletes, some of whom happen to be gay, talking about ways we can improve our locker room. We connect with athletes of all skill levels, sexual orientations, and genders because we've been there ourselves."
Burke is convinced that the first professional hockey player to come out while still playing will happen soon. But he cautions that we should not burden our Jackie Robinson with unrealistic expectations.
In the video below, Patrick Burke and his father Brian Burke appear with professional hockey player to say "You Can Play."
In the following video, hip-hop artist Macklemore adds his voice to the chorus telling gay athletes, "You Can Play."

The Life Of Henry Dumas
By WFAE
Most successful writers are able to have the satisfaction of seeing their work in print, and continue to hone their craft throughout their life—but no Henry Dumas. Most of Dumas' work was published after his untimely death in 1968, shortly after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. Henry Dumas' life in the South of the 1940s and '50s and New York in the '60s influenced his body of literary work, and his tragic death-- under mysterious circumstances-- has now been chronicled by local professor Dr. Jeffrey Leak. We'll hear about the life and death of African American literary legend Henry Dumas and why his work is important to the literary world.
- Dr. Jeffrey Leak - Director of the Center for the Study of the New South and Associate Professor of English at UNC Charlotte. He's the author of Visible Man: The Life of Henry Dumas.

Following some negotiation and a few consumer complaints because they couldn't get the big game on their new big-screen televisions, viewers in northwest Oklahoma were able to watch the recent Super Bowl XLII in HD.
The situation arose in late November, after the FCC allowed KOMI-TV, the local ION affiliate and a Class A TV station in Woodward, OK, to increase the ERP of its Axcera digital transmitter from 160W to 15,000W.
This increase caused interference with the local Fox affiliate KOKH-TV, a full-power TV station serving northwest Oklahoma, and even prior to Feb. 3, led to a few disruptions to KOKH's digital/HD signal for viewers in Alva and Elk City. Instead of the HD channel, KOKH (Fox) viewers could only see Fox programs in analog, and where the Fox HD channel should have been, the syndicated SD programming on KOMI from the Ion Network. A total of six viewers officially complained to the FCC.
The issue was temporarily resolved when, after the FCC asked, KOMI management agreed to turn off its transmitter that Sunday afternoon, allowing area viewers to see the game in HD.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned KOKH is the only Fox HD channel serving residents in northwest Oklahoma. The station uses translators, which operate within KOMI's FCC-allotted protected contour. So, when KOMI increased its coverage area, it interfered with a few viewers of KOKH, which consequently were not able to see the college football BCS bowl games leading up to Super Bowl Sunday either.
Likewise, the 83 subscribers to the Taloga Cable system, which serves the local community about 35mi southeast of Woodward, could not get the big game in HD; however, they could watch it in analog. Satellite TV subscribers were also able to watch out-of-market Fox stations carrying the games in HD.

What to Keep/Throw Away
After your taxes are filed, take the time to go through your financial papers and decide what to shred and store. Here are a few tips to help you keep what's important and get rid of the rest.
Remember to shred unwanted documents to help prevent identity theft or fraud. Use a personal shredder or participate in a local shredding event. Make sure you check with your lawyer or tax professional before disposing of any important documents.
For a comprehensive list with a timetable, visit www.SuzeOrman.com under "Record Keeping."
The Benefits of a Safe Deposit Box
Safe deposit boxes can be used for a wide variety of items. Some people choose to leave their important documents such as a social security card, birth certificate, passport or even old coins and bills. If you're considering renting a safe deposit box to keep your valuables, family heirlooms or important documents, here are a few things to consider.
You should contact your insurance agent. See what your insurance policy states if you have contents in any other place besides your home – you may be able to add the contents of your safe deposit box to the policy. If you have valuables such as jewelry, family heirlooms or old photographs, make sure to seal them in plastic bags or something similar.
Items that take a long time to replace such as a birth certificate or family records definitely belong in a safe deposit box. Make sure you remember to add family members to your safe deposit box access – if you're out of town and someone in your immediate family needs to gain access to a document that is stored in the box, the credit union needs to know that your significant other or children are allowed to remove or take items.
There are plenty of items that don't belong in your safe deposit box: food, beverages, original copies of medical care instructions or Power of Attorney documents. It's always a good idea to keep copies of these documents in your safe deposit box, but it may be best to leave the originals with your lawyer.
In short, here's a list of things to keep and a few things not to keep in your safe deposit box:
Don't Keep:
These suggestions are only a general guideline, be sure to check with your lawyer or tax professional for further recommendations. If you're interested in a safe deposit box, call us at 907-459-5900 or stop by the Johansen branch to secure yours today!

American Cancer Society Relay For Life
This Year the Relay for Life will be on June 1st, 2012 at the West Valley High School outdoor track. Our Mortgage Specialist Kate has formed a Spirit of Alaska FCU team this year and it is something that she is truly devoted to! The Relay is a full 24 Hours! The Relay will start June 1st, 2012 at 6pm and will end June 2nd, 2012 at 6pm. Participants will be at the Relay for the entire time.
Every team is required to have a person walking the track at all times, in Kate's words to her team mates; 'Yes this means ALL-NIGHT! I know this sounds hard, but it is truly a wonderful time and an even more wonderful cause!"
If you are interested in helping Kate raise funds for this great cause that has touched so many lives, please give her a call at 459-5905 or go to www.relayforlife.org to donate online. Follow these simple steps:
What Happens at a Relay Event
There are many moments that create the Relay experience. Specific details vary by event. But the key moments that all events share in common are listed below:
Survivors Lap
Relay starts with a Survivors Lap – an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories we've achieved over cancer. We also recognize and celebrate caregivers at Relay For Life. These individuals give their time, love, and support to friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers who face cancer.
Luminaria Ceremony
After dark, we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer, and participants often walk a lap in silence.
Fight Back Ceremony
Last, there is a Fight Back Ceremony, where we make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer. That personal commitment may be to do something as simple as getting a screening test, quitting smoking, or talking to elected officials about cancer. By taking action, people are personally taking steps to save lives and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
History of Relay for Life
One person can make a difference. Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which began in Tacoma, Washington. In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office and to show support for all of his patients who had battled cancer. He decided to personally raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.
In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He ran for more than 83 miles. That first year, nearly 300 of Dr. Klatt's friends, family, and patients watched as he ran and walked the course. Throughout the night, friends donated $25 to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer.
While circling the track those 24 hours, Dr. Klatt thought about how others could take part in his mission to fight cancer. He envisioned a 24-hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Over the next few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event, known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.
In 1986, with the help of Pat Flynn – now known as the "Mother of Relay" – 19 teams took part in the first team Relay event on the track at the historic Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescribable spirit prevailed at the track and in the tents that dotted the infield.
National Autism Awareness Month
In order to highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, the Autism Society has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The United States recognizes April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.

The plight of the aging dancer seems like catnip to filmmakers. And for good reason: Dance is an art in which the breaking down of the body can become a metaphor for the loss of a certain kind of life. While in reality most dancers go on to have successful, fulfilling post-dance careers, the end of a senior dancer's run onstage does feel tragic. It's the kind of complex tragedy that, distilled and amplified by the camera's close scrutiny, makes for good film. Witness Anne Bancroft's poignantly frail Emma in The Turning Point, or Winona Ryder's unhinged Beth in Black Swan.
The new film Fall to Rise is another exploration of the aging-dancer theme, and it features a cast of dance celebrities. Martha Graham Dance Company's celebrated Katherine Crockett (who's making a splash these days in the immersive off-Broadway show Queen of the Night) stars as Lauren, a principal dancer who struggles with her identity after being sidelined by injuries. Complexions Contemporary Ballet co-director Desmond Richardson is Des, the leader of Lauren's company. And Daphne Rubin-Vega, Rent's original Mimi, plays Sheila, a former dancer who has a complicated relationship with Des. Drama, naturally, abounds.
Fall to Rise will have its world premiere in New York City next Saturday, April 5 at the First Time Festival. (It's one of 10 movies competing for the festival's top prize.) Click here for more information about the film.

Talent-wise, Gilbert Arenas should still be playing the NBA. But outside factors (namely his immaturity) have resulted in him playing for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball League. In China, Arenas has to be considered, arguably of course, to be one of the most talented player in the league. Former NBA stars Tracy McGrady and Stephon Marbury also play in the CBL. This past weekend, Arenas put a defender on his backside. It wasn't because of an elbow or a crossover dribble, but rather a simple jab step. Arenas let his man fall to the deck, stepped back and hit the jumper. Propers to Hoops Hype for the video
