Reading midway throught this thread i find really amusing when people say Venus at her peak crusher Serena at her peak.
Venus at her peak had an erratic forehand, she always has had problems with that shot and she will always have due to her tecnique glitch she has on that side.
Serena is all around more solid, better serve, and stronger on her forehand in comparisson to Venus, while Venus has a greater backhand, the difference to Serena´s is not that much.
Venus is obviously the better player at the net, more reach and can volley very well, but yet again Serena is not a non entity at the net (like Sharapova or Wozniacki can be), so the difference is not as remarkable as Serena does with her Serve and Forehand.
As for fitness, 2002 Serena for me is the quickest player around ever, those were the days she was allowing single digit winners in her matches.. really scary.

I was at a restaurant with my aunt a couple of days ago. Being Italian-themed, pretty much everything was pizza or came with pasta. But one of the dishes, a chicken dish, didn't mention coming with pasta. However, I wanted to be sure. This lead to this exchange:
Me: "The chicken cacciatore doesn't come with pasta, does it? It doesn't seem to on the menu."
Waitress: "Actually, it does. Linguine."
Me: "Oh, that's too bad. Any way I could get a side salad, or vegetables, or something like that instead?"
Waitress: "Nope."
Me: "Oh."
Waitress: "But if you like salad...the sandwiches all come with side salads!"
I was rather shocked at the quick, blunt "no" about swapping out the pasta. And then the sandwiches being offered as an alternative nearly made me laugh out loud. I mean, I guess I didn't explicitly say WHY I didn't want pasta, but with the increased prevalence of gluten-free diets, not to mention low-carb, you'd think she'd infer that if I didn't want pasta, I probably wouldn't be too keen on bread either.
Since she was steadfast about not swapping out the pasta, I ended up getting the chicken Cesar salad. Without croutons of course. Which tasted good enough--the chicken was nicely grilled--but a bit...calorically deficient :P

New thumbs, same question: Does it read?
"Show, don't tell."
I have a few compositions I've been working on, and I'd like to ask what you see in them, what do they read as? I've worked on them kind of in isolation and I think I've gone blind as to if the values and subject matter work or not.
So, I'm asking crits on readability, composition, values and scale and anything else you can think of. I'm trying to get the initial values and composition right so I can start rendering.
EDIT: Added thumbs as suggested by JeffX99.

I see a tornado in a plain that has a small river, a headless mecha in ice (like there's the upper arm, other shoulder's armor spike and chest/ab armor plates) and a giant Faberge egg of ice. Or Avatar the Last Airbender movie fanart. Honestly said the two first are kinda abstract that to me it's really hard to get a clear reading of them.

Thanks for the feedback... I shall continue with these. Somehow I find it really difficult to detach myself from my vision/idea, and I just see what I think I see instead of actually letting my eyes read the information... :L

A gorge with a bridge - but the far canyon walls don't continue down into the gorge
No idea - a dark rock outcropping on side of a snowy mountain
A big thing coming up out of a snowy plain
To me each one is missing two critical aspects of environment - an interesting, dynamic point of view/composition and a feeling of natural, outdoor light. I would work on comnposition and a sense of light.

Colored and refined a bit... how is it reading now?
June 25th, 2012 #6
The same problems...only now with added color issues.
Maybe this will help...what direction is the light from? Why is there a single cast shadow indicated on the right...yet the left cliff face and mountain wall are darker than the right?
Why does the distant canyon end at the plateau like it is sitting on top of the ground?
Why are the cliffs green?
Work out your lighting and composition first...the rest is easy.

Thanks for taking the time to crit, JeffX99.
My thinking with this wasn't the best. Initially I thought the mountain faces would be sort of bathing in light, with a part of the middleground (the path) also being cast in light, and the foreground in the shadow. The I somehow thought that the mountains that were below the path would somehow be a lot darker than the higher parts, which didnt make sense.
My light is coming from upper right, as shown by the backlit/sidelit green forms (grassy rocks?). But I lost that in several points, like with the cast shadow, and the cliff faces.
Is there any uniform direction one should take when figuring out light and shadow. One approach that sort of makes sense to me would be to first put in local colors. This way it would be easier to put in the forms first and then figure out your lighting direction. But then you only have silhouettes to work with, and where there would be shadow separation (like where the cliff faces show form through shadow).
I might build this from scratch, thinking what I want to tell with it. It sort of evolved as I went on, which probably partly attributes to my incoherent thinking throughout the piece.
I'm a bit confused with what I should do first. Currently I'm trying to think of light direction, atmospheric perspective, and form design all at once. Is this correct? Is there a way to simplify this?
EDIT: Oh, I guess DRAWING the scene first would be the way to simplify and to convey form before going to value and light.
As for composition, I thought it was one of my strong points. Do you have any suggestions for improving my compositions?

Sure...lots of questions but they're the right ones.
Yes you should really start the process with thumbnail sketches. In the thumbnails shoot for exploring two things: 1) copmposition and 2) light and shadow. Keep it all big simple shapes with a strong indication of the direction and altitude of the light/sun. Keep your thumbnails the size of a large postage stamp.
Yeah, you can think of form, light and atmospheric perspective (which isn't that big of a deal - mainly just value shifts and a little color shift, loss of detail, etc.) all together when thumbnailing.
No on the local color approach to defining light - light is defined by value, not color. The amount, intensity, direction of the light affects local color but is mainly defined by value, planes, cast shadow and lastly form shadow (which mainly defines the planes and volume of form).
So yeah, take the bridge/chasm idea and redevelop it with a good process.
Gurney's book "Imaginitve Realism" would be a great asset. For composition and environment I also recommend "Drawing Scenery: Landscapes and Seascapes" by Jack Hamm. It isn't flashy but it gets right down to it.
Good luck - post some thumbnails when you get them!

Okay.. here's five thumbs. I did more, but these are the ones I've fleshed out so far. Some time went to figuring out a process for these.
I started with pencil to make a rough line art, then did lines again in photoshop, and set the line layer on multiply. Then I just thought how I wanted the lighting to be, and started adding values with the airbrush, erasin with the hard round to create hard edges.
How well do these read?

Number 3 has nice depth and number 4 has some nice dramatic lighting. One of those two would definitely be worth exploring further.
In the first one the large rock wall on the left seems very flat because it is so square and has te very thin black shadow on the right side wich indicates it is only a few meters thick.
The second one lacks hard edges to make it interesting. The last one looks a bit confusing, like an escher illusion or something. Maybe it could be interesting, but the light doesn't read so well.

Thanks so much for the feedback, Obstfelder! I agree with you on everything.
I'm gonna make a few more fleshed out thumbs, then decide what to work on.

I like #4 because it has the most "fantasy-dramatic lighting". It has that light hitting right where u want it for a focal point.
June 29th, 2012 #13
#4 by a mile. It's the only one with anything approaching believable space and light.

Here's an interesting stat, via Deadspin: The NFL's shortest player is also its winningest. Return specialist Trindon Holliday just completed a perfect regular season, 5-0 with Houston, 11-0 with Denver, and he joins an exclusive club featuring the rosters of the 1972 Dolphins and the 2007 Patriots. If the Broncos go all the way, Holliday will be the only player in NFL history to go 19-0 in a single season. It must nice to not lose a single game throughout an entire season. His fumbling problems aside, Holliday seems to have brought some good luck to Denver.

UK to host G8 dementia summit – Alzheimer's Society comment
Published 19 August 2013
The government has announced the date of a global summit on dementia to be held in London
A global summit on dementia will be held in London on 11 December as part of the UK's 2013 presidency of the G8, the government has announced today (Monday, 19 August 2013). Health ministers from the G8 countries will be invited to a high level meeting to discuss coordinating efforts to tackle the condition, including an international approach to dementia research.
Alzheimer's Society comment:
'Dementia is a global challenge. It is staggering that worldwide, there are more clinical trials into hayfever than there are into some of the most common forms of dementia. Stepping up the global drive for a cure and better treatments must be a key priority.
'This summit is a huge opportunity to break down barriers and lead a global effort to defeat dementia but needs to be the start of clear action and commitments rather than just a one off. By 2021, a million people in the UK alone will have dementia, which costs the British economy £23 billion a year. We simply cannot afford to delay.'

Head of Policy and Public Affairs

Earlier this week, during a joint press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Obama proclaimed that if the Supreme Court were to overturn ObamaCare, the Justices would be engaging in "activism."
"I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint...that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law," Obama said.
That prompted the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to ask the Justice Department for an explanation of Obama's remarks in a three page letter and to clarify whether the Obama Administration believes the courts have the constitutional right to strike down legislation passed by Congress.
Now, Attorney General Eric Holder has issued a response saying the courts do have the final say but that President Obama's remarks were "appropriate."
"We respect the decisions made by the courts since Marbury v. Madison," Holder said Wednesday, referring to the landmark 1803 case that established the precedent of judicial review. "Courts have final say."
Holder also described the president's comments as "appropriate," saying that while the courts have final say they "are also fairly deferential when it comes to overturning the statutes that the duly elected representatives of the people -- Congress -- passed."
He said the department is "confident health care reform will stand constitutional muster."
Sidenote: ObamaCare was not passed with a "strong" majority.

controlling its epidemic, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to grow. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS has estimated that more than 4 million people worldwide became newly infected with HIV in 2006, and unless prevention efforts are highly successful, millions more will become infected every year (UNAIDS, 2006). Of the nearly 7 million people in low- and middle-income countries now estimated to need ART or to face an early death, fewer than one-quarter are receiving the therapy (WHO, 2006), and millions more of those already infected with HIV will eventually need it. Fewer than 1 in 10 pregnant women infected with HIV in low- and middle-income countries are benefiting from ARVs to prevent transmission to their babies, and at most 12 percent of the children born to these women who require ART are receiving it (WHO, 2006). With ART and appropriate care, AIDS is a chronic disease—it can be managed but not cured—and people receiving ART will need to be on it for the rest of their lives. Only a fraction of the legions of devastated families and orphaned children are currently receiving the support services they need, and the number of children orphaned by AIDS globally is projected to exceed 20 million by 2010 (UNICEF, 2006).
The Committee believes that continued commitment by the United States, along with all other donors, to supporting the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic will be required until countries have developed sustainable programs, and that continued U.S. leadership is necessary to prevent complacency and battle fatigue and to bring the virus under control. In sustaining this commitment and this leadership, the United States will continue to answer the call from the global community:
AIDS is exceptional and the response to AIDS must be equally exceptional. It requires ongoing leadership on both the national and international levels. Twenty-five years into the epidemic, the global response to AIDS must be transformed from an episodic, crisis-management approach to a strategic response that recognizes the need for long-term commitment and capacity-building, using evidence-informed strategies that address the structural drivers of the epidemic.

How to Calm a Cat
Is your cat stressing out because (s)he heard something, company's over, or there's a lightning and thunderstorm? If your kitty is scared, anxious, or overwhelmed, read this page.
1Since your cat is freaking out, make sure (s)he is in a secure area. The last thing you need is to have the cat run off somewhere.Ad
2Talk to your kitty calmly. For example, say "It's okay, Peaches, it's okay. Shh. Shh." This will calm some of its nerves.
3Stay low so that you don't look too big and intimidating. Look from a cat's point of view, we are giants to them, which will be scary to a little creature. Sit down on the couch and stroke it.
4Sit quietly and wait for your cat to get used to you, and let them realize you mean them no harm, and don't pose any threat. If possible, stroke their face by running your thumb lightly up from the bridge of the cat's nose.
5Feed your cat some food if they are still skittish. Wet food is more appealing to them, and fish has a greater odor than land animals. Try tuna.
6Let them go to a higher place to allow them to feel safe and able to see what is going on.
7Speak quietly and in a lower pitched voice. It will be easier on their ears.
8Sing. Singing can soothe or relax your cat, much like talking quietly. Singing anything from an upbeat song to a slow melody can work. Just don't sing loudly, harshly, or anything with rapidly changing pitches.
9Play something softly on the TV, it may calm them to hear someone else's voice for a change.Ad
We could really use your help!
skin care?
Glow Sticks?
Youth Flirting?
- Play the TV or music quietly, loud noises may be sensitive to their ears!
- Make sure you are patient and relaxed as well! Kitty will feed off your energy.
- If the cat runs away and hides in its area, leave it alone. It just makes them more stressed as if you will try and hurt them.
- If possible, close the curtains or blinds, so then the lighting doesn't scare/startle them.
- Sit at a 45-90 degree angle to the cat. This pose is less intimidating and less challenging, and shows them they have an out.
- Place some food away from the cat then step back, so they feel they can move about more!
- Don't try to pet them if they are agitated and leave them alone till they calm down. Once they do, pet them and give them some TLC.
- Comfort them but give them space.
- Don't get to close to them or they might get in a bad or scared mood and they will not like you!
- Don't have anything too loud around them.
- Be careful, and make sure not to corner them.
- If you reach for a cat and it hisses and/or arches its back, retreat slowly but surely and rethink your strategy.
- Do not bring another animal into the room, it may add to your pet's stress.
- Do not attempt to stroke them unless they are showing no harm to you.
