The ultimate one-of-one representation1910 E98 "Set of 30" Ty Cobb (Black Swamp) SGC 98 Gem 10 - The Finest Example In The Hobby! Now a household name among collectors with a concentration in prewar cardboard, "The Black Swamp Find" burst upon the hobby scene in the Heritage August 2012 "Platinum Night" auction, providing a pristine time capsule of candy cards from the heart of the sport's Dead Ball Era. Banner headlines screamed from every hobby periodical and the mainstream press followed suit, with stories in hundreds of Associated Press affiliates and a live appearance on NBC's "The Today Show." Unquestionably the Find rates as the most significant of the twenty-first century thus far, and it would take quite a revelation to dislodge the Black Swamp from that throne. It's a pedigree that should be absent from no serious collection in the theme.
As has been well-reported, the cards were located in a forgotten box in a dusty attic, each player and color variation individually stacked and bound in twine. Twenty-eight players were represented in total, with five players appearing in a second color for a total of thirty-three stacks.
There was only one color background for the Cobb, the rather appropriate shade of blood red that finds the long-reigning Hit King in a rare fielding posture. With a total of fifteen Ty Cobb representations from the Black Swamp to earn a Mint 9 rating, this single example separates itself from the pack to be the pick of that outrageous litter by garnering the nearly unattainable Gem Mint 10 designation.
This is the one and only playing-days candy card from any issue to receive a Gem Mint 10 rating from either of the major grading services. In fact, in the full population of contemporary Cobbs in any format, only five issues contain a Gem Mint entry-one pin set and four game sets with rounded corners.
As such, it is safe to call this the finest Ty Cobb trading card that exists, one that, like the Peach himself, took no shortcuts to its position of supremacy. It's the ultimate one-of-one, representing the highest elevation of card collecting achievement.

Quantum of Solace - Grading & Discussion

Re: Quantum of Solace - Grading & Discussion
This film is terrible...for about 20 minutes, then it realises it isn't a Bourne film and becomes a Bond film, and a rather good one at that, in fact I'd say I enjoyed this on first viewing infinitely more than Casino Royale. It is far better paced, doesn't go on forever, has a better villain (thoug still not a great one) a better Bond girl...I could go on.
This felt more like a Bond film to me than Casino Royale, the plays of the Bond theme throughout were nice to hear (obviously too subtle for the critics) and the film had a nice line in humour (which again seems to have gone over some heads)
On the downside the title track just doesn't work, and the titles themselves are nowhere near as cool as Casino Royale's. Plus a terrible pre title sequence. Seriously I've had enough of this shaky camera shit, can someone please tell me what is so cool about not beinbg able to see what's happening? As one of the guys I went with tonight said, it's an excuse for bad cheorography...hope they drop that from the next film. Gemma Arterton, geex she'd cute but really can't act, and the Goldfinger bit was a bit too obvious, much prefered the Spy who Loved me bit with Craig on and roof with the special branch guy.
I gave it above average, but to be honest if they re edited the first 15/20 minutes I'd give it more. Daniel Craig continues to be bloody brilliant (and I'm still ashamed I was so anti the guy) and as a final note, I kinda liked the crazy titles they put up for each city.

Thread: What would you recommend?

What would you recommend?
Okay, just to get it out there; I know nothing about animation. Nothing more than what I could try doing with a flip book. In any case, I'm eager to try something new and embracing the challenge that I hope it will create for me.
I have an idea for an animation that I would like to try to make revolving around a song. But what would seasoned veterans such as yourselves recommend:
- Using to animate with a Mac OS X 10.4?
- The best way to animate and what it is/means?
- How to get started on this independent project?

Well it all boils down to what medium you want to use.
For macs, theirs a great little program called iStopmotion that costs 40 bucks I think, and it allows you to take images in sequence, straight from the camera to your computer, and then play it at 24fps.
If you're thinking your going to do this traditionally, I recommend getting Preston Blair's Cartoon Animation book. Its a staple for 2d animation students.

Well, I've always had an interest in both, but the animation I was planning on was going to be done traditionally. But does the Preston Blair's book, is that actually a book or is it software? I eventually would have liked to share my finished animation online as well. I probably should have mentioned that earlier >.<

1) Afraid I'm a bit Mac stupid.
But I do know most relevant programs tend to be Mac friendly (such as Adobe Premiere/After Effects/Flash). Even the mid-range Plastic Animation Paper has one in the works.
2)*low whistle*
That's an awfully in-depth question. That's one of those 'answer so vast my only recourse is to throw a book at you' questions.
I recommend: The Animator's Survival Kit
3)A good way to start is with a Storyboard.
If there's a story you want to progress, this is the time to make sure your communicating it effectively to your audience. A music video can be tricky, because you can't use dialog or sound effects to get your point across. Show it around to your friends and see if they 'get' it. Even if your animation is going to be abstract with no real story elements progressing, a rough outline of what your hoping to accomplish is invaluable.
Next you can construct something called an "Animatic".
This is a movie file where your storyboard images are set to the music, holding on each image for the length you want that scene to be. This helps you structure your timing, so that when you begin to animate you have a basic idea of how many frames you need to make for each scene.

Animator's Survival Kit can get a little heavy in the reading if you don't know much about animation, but it is a reeeeeally good book.
Still definitely reccomend iStopmotion for shooting it. Its not specifically a stopmotion program. We use it at our school to shoot tests.
Basicaly what it does is take images in sequence, so if you lay your drawings down, and light them, you can take an image of each frame you draw, and play it.
If you want sound capabilities, I think you have to by iStopmotion Express. I've never worked with that version, I'm afraid. But yeah, when your done you can export your film in a lot of different formats, including web-friendly ones.
July 24th, 2008 #7
Once again, thank you very much. I'll look into the Survival Kit when I get my next chance.

With Memorial Day coming up, I thought I would write a story that happened in World War II. That tragic conflict ended seventy years ago; May of 1945 in Europe and September of the same year in the Pacific.
We've all had bad days. You know what I'm talking about, you get out of bed and stub your toe on the way to the bathroom and then on the way to work you realize it's Saturday and you could have stayed in bed; flat tires, your out of coffee filters, mismatched socks, and so on.

A law that makes it illegal to lie about being a war hero is unconstitutional because it violates free speech, a federal judge ruled Friday as he dismissed a case against a Colorado man who claimed he received two military medals.

There is an easy fix for this. Arm them up and send them into combat.
This is the second line of my post.
It doesn't matter why they are telling the lie. If their lie leads to financial damages, like hiring someone based on the idea they are a war hero and they turn out to be disloyal, then they should be able to be sued. Therefore, I'm not so sure any additional laws are needed for that purpose. So, if you lie and your lie causes consequences, I'd think you could sue under the existing system. I would think that should be enough as taking it beyond that may be simply forcing your morals on someone else.

Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius arrives for the closing arguments of his murder trial at the high court in Pretoria August 7, 2014. Pistorius is accused of killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. (REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko)
PRETORIA: South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius returned to the dock Thursday to hear concluding arguments in his murder trial, with the star sprinter facing life in prison if found guilty.
Prosecution lawyer Gerrie Nel opened proceedings, setting out the state's case that Pistorius deliberately murdered his 29-year-old girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013.
Pistorius, who denies the charge, appeared at the Pretoria High Court wearing glasses and a dark suit, clenching his jaw as he sat in the dock.
Thursday saw Barry Steenkamp, Reeva's father, and Henke Pistorius, Oscar's father, make their first appearances in court as the five-month emotion-filled trial reaches its finale.
The court fell silent as Barry entered and Henke hugged his daughter Aimee before taking a seat in the first row of the public gallery behind his son.
Pistorius's murder trial began in March and his handpicked team of lawyers have claimed he shot Reeva Steenkamp by accident, believing her to be an intruder.

which also sell his or her designs. There were many individuals and also small companies making a business beyond offering their own digitizing solutions and offering their types and behaviour. Looking in the facts and attractive to practicality, it's quite clear that utilizing computerized adornments machines are superior to going information. Embroidery can be not an effective task to do, especially if your project involves plenty of stitches along with patterns build.

Kitsap Gas Prices Continue Slow Rise
Kitsap's gas prices are rising, but at least one forecaster thinks prices will remain reasonable this summer as vacationers head to their cars.
On Monday, the average price for a gallon of unleaded in Kitsap County was $2.29, up from $2.16 a month ago, according to the auto club AAA.
Gas prices across the nation have slowly risen over the past two months, and crude oil prices have stabilized and now are around $50 a barrel.
A forecast from the U.S. Energy Energy Administration said gas prices nationally could average $1.96 a gallon this year and $2.18 in 2010.
That's a far cry from last July, when a gallon of gas averaged $4.11.
But nothing's certain about how much a summer vacation on the road will cost consumers, according Dave Overstreet, AAA spokesman in Bellevue.
High refinery inventories haven't resulted in gas prices declining. Instead, prices of gas — and oil, too — seem to be watching Wall Street, waiting for some sign of which way the economy is headed, Overstreet said.
"It's very, very hard to predict," Overstreet said of summer prices.
The national average was $2.05 Monday, and Washington state's was $2.31, among the highest in the country, according to AAA.
Much of that is due to being farther away from the source and the fact that there are fewer refineries west of the Rockies, he said.
Alaska had the highest gas price Monday of $2.51. New Jersey's was the lowest, $1.87.

The study also found that animals treated with candesartan had increased levels of a "pro-survival" protein in both brain hemispheres. The protein is responsible for helping neurons in the brain survive insultslike a strokeand promote longer life. Fagan said the study contributes to a body of literature that finds new potential for drug therapy.
"We tell patients the reason they go to rehab after they've had a stroke is to retrain and make new connections so that they can get function back. Maybe it's because the other hemisphere takes over," Fagan said. "If we could stimulate that with drug therapy and make it even more so, it would help lots of people."

This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/371,290, filed Aug. 10, 1999 now U.S. No. 6,323,432.
This invention relates generally to the manufacture of dendritic particles, and the use thereof and, more particularly, to the manufacture of acicular branched metal dendritic particles, and the use thereof.
Traditionally, springs and pins have been used to provide connection between electrical elements such as pads. However, as densities increase, these types of connections are often not sufficient. With higher densities, compressible pad-on-pad connections are often used. While in many cases these types of connectors are very useful, nevertheless in some instances they are not completely reliable. For example, when the pads or other contacts have films, such as oxide films or the like or dust particles, or any other surface contaminants, or connectors that use a conductive elastomer/plastic material, such conductive elastomers may not provide the necessary contact with the pads. This is because the conductive elastomer is normally provided with relatively soft metal conducting particles, such as silver. When the particles encounter the film, they may not penetrate the film, but rather deform, leaving the film as an insulating barrier between the conductive pad and the conductive particles. This sometimes results in less than the quality connection required.
According to the present invention, a technique for making acicular, branched, conductive dendrites, and a technique for using the dendrites to form a conductive compressible pad-on-pad connector are provided. To form the dendrites, a substrate is provided on which dendrites are grown, preferably on a metal film. The dendrites are then removed from the substrate, preferably by etching metal from the substrate. The so formed dendrites are incorporated into a compressible dielectric material, which then forms a compressible pad-on-pad connector between two conducting elements, such as connector pads on electrical devices, e.g. an I/C chip mounted on a substrate, such as a chip carrier.
FIGS. 1-6 show diagrammatically the steps in forming dendrite particles according to this invention;
FIG. 7 shows a dendrite particle formed according to this invention and detached from the substrate on which it was formed; and
FIG. 8 depicts, somewhat diagrammatically, a compressible dielectric material having dendrite particles embedded therein according to this invention and disposed between a pair of conducting pads.
A method of forming branched, acicular, dendrite particles according to one embodiment of this invention is shown, somewhat diagrammatically, in FIGS. 1-6.
As shown in FIG. 1, a titanium substrate 10 is provided on which a copper coating 12 is applied. The copper layer 12 preferably is about 0.0002 inches thick. The copper can either be laminated or plated onto the substrate using conventional laminating or plating techniques well known to those skilled in the art. For example, conventional electroplating using an acid copper bath to deposit 0.2 mil thick copper on the titanium substrate gives good results.
As seen in FIG. 2, a coating of photoresist 14 is applied to the copper coating 12. The photoresist is exposed and developed according to standard photolithographic techniques to form openings 16 extending to the copper layer 12 where dendrite particles are to be formed. The photoresist can be either negative acting or positive acting. Preferably, the photoresist is a negative acting photoresist of the type sold by DuPont under the designation 330R.
As can be seen in FIG. 3, following the patterning of the photoresist 14, a layer of nickel 18, preferably about 0.0001 inch thick, and a layer of palladium 20 (if palladium dendrites are to be formed) preferably about 0.0001 inch thick, are plated onto the copper layer 12 in the openings 16. Standard plating techniques, well known to those skilled in the art, are used to plate the nickel and palladium. Conventional nickel sulfamate baths can be used to plate nickel. SEL-REX palladium off the shelf plating chemicals sold by Enthone Corp. can be used for plating palladium. The nickel 18 serves as a barrier to copper migration and contamination and the palladium 20 serves as the base on which the palladium dendrites are to be grown.
As seen in FIG. 4, palladium dendrites 26 are grown on the exposed palladium layer 20. These dendrites are preferably grown using generally the technique described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,461. (As described in this patent, other materials, such as platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, osmium, tungsten and copper can be used to form dendrites. The techniques for growing such dendrites of other materials are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,461.)
Specifically, the technique for forming dendrites, according to this invention, involves the modification of the dendrite plating process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,461 to produce a more branched acicular dendrite which can be separated into singular dendritic particles which can then be incorporated into a compressible dielectric material. The acicular, branched dendrite is formed by modifying the growth rate of the dendrite at or near the top height of the resist window. It was observed that as long as the spindle-like dendrite growth occurs within the well formed by the resist walls, growth will be uniform and more spire-like with few branches. As it approaches the top of the resist window, the agitation effects of the panel movement and solution sparging, as disclosed in U.S. Pat No. 5,137,461, start to provide second order effects which cause the dendrites to form multiple branches. If the plating is not controlled and stopped in time, the branches within a dendrite matrix grow together and form a more solid matrix of connected branches, which is undesirable. The technique utilized in this invention controls the height of the dendrite to be equal to or slightly greater than the height of the resist wall. It is accomplished by controlling the bath time, agitation rates and ultrasonic pulse to achieve uniform growth of singular branched dendrites which have a single point of connection to the previously mentioned metal substrate.
The resulting structure is a branched, acicular, tree-like dendrite structure 26 having sharp points 28 at the ends of the branches, thus resulting in a needle-like structure with the needles oriented in different directions.
Following the growing of the dendrites 26, as shown in FIG. 4, preferably the grown dendrites are plated with a coating of palladium 30, about 0.0001 inches thick, by well known plating techniques as shown in FIG. 5. This is to add strength and rigidity to the dendrites 26, since the as-grown microstructure of the dendrites 26 may result in a weaker microstructure than a plated microstructure.
Following the plating of the palladium 30, the photoresist 14 is stripped to reveal the etched copper layer 12 therebelow, as seen in FIG. 6. The copper is then etched off using a copper etchant such as persulfate or cupric chloride to remove the dendrites. A resulting dendrite 32 is shown in FIG. 7.
Alternatively, an organic base such as a polyimide on which copper is sputtered to form the copper base can be employed instead of the titanium. The process then proceeds as described above for the plating of the dendrites. Then either the copper is etched away or the organic base dissolved in any suitable solvent to produce the dendrites.
As indicated earlier, the dendrites are branched, acicular structures, having a tree-like or needle-like configuration with the ends of the branches being pointed and sharp, and oriented in different directions. This configuration makes the dendrites especially useful in forming conductive pad-on-pad conducting connectors.
Referring now to FIG. 8, the plated dendrites 32, formed according the above-described technique, are shown as used to form a pad-on-pad conductor. The dendrites 32 are dispersed in a compressible dielectric material 34. Such dielectric materials include epoxies, acrylics, polyimides, and the like. Generally, any compressible dielectric material which allows the dendrites to mix in a generally homogenous fashion prior to final cure can be used. A particularly useful material is a flouro-silicon sold by General Electric Corporation under the trademark FSE-7140. There are sufficient dendrites dispersed in the material 34 that a continuous conducting path is provided from one surface 36 to the opposite surface 38 of the material 34. One particular preferred use of conductive compressible matter is to provide pad-on-pad connections of pads 40 on I/C chips (not shown) to pads 42 on a chip carrier (not shown).
The acicular structure of the dendrites, with the pointed ends, allows the dendrites which project from the surfaces of the material 36 and 38 upon compression of the material, to penetrate any film that might be formed on the surface of the pads 40, 44, and make electrical connection with the metal of the pads beneath the film. Thus, the dendrites 32 form a continuous conducting path between the metal of the pads 40 and the metal of the pads 44.

How to Find Substitutes for Unavailable Raw Materials in Glazes
Glaze mixing can be daunting to the novice, especially when the recipe contains an ingredient that is unfamiliar or unavailable. But with a few simple melt tests, you can learn a lot about what materials do at your firing range and start making educated guesses as to what might make a good substitute for the unfamiliar ingredient. In today's post, an excerpt from our new Ceramic Handbook Cone 5-6 Glazes: Materials and Recipes, Deanna Ranlett walks us through the testing she did to find substitutes for some frits. By following her lead, you can figure out substitutes for the materials you might be missing in a glaze! – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Tips for Stocking A Ceramic Glaze Pantry
I have been using commercial glazes lately, because I have been working out of my home studio since I bought myself a kiln last year. This has been working okay so far, and some of these commercial glazes will remain in my repertoire, but I really want to start making my own so I can tweak them to be exactly what I want. But starting from scratch and figuring out what you need in your pantry can be pretty daunting. Not anymore thanks to Deanna Ranlett's article in the November/December 2013 issue of Pottery Making Illustrated. Today, I am sharing an excerpt from that article, along with a pretty handy materials chart showing how commonly certain glaze materials are used at various firing temperatures. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

Glaze That Glitters: A Little Experimentation Leads to Some Nice Low Fire Crystal Glazes
When Deanna Ranlett was in school, she wanted to find a glaze that looked like eye shadow. She liked the effects of some high-fire crystalline glazes, but could only fire low in the school studio. Undeterred, she started experimenting with Mark Burleson's "Love Child" glaze. She tested and retested and came up with some sweet glaze recipes that gave her the eye-shadow look. In today's post, she shares her recipes and some details on the experimentation that lead to them.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/9/12
PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Los Angeles Clippers built a Mount Everest-like lead in the first half Thursday night at the Rose Garden. They wound up needing nearly every bit of that advantage in a 103-90 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers sliced what was once a 24-point deficit to four with seven minutes to go before the visitors regained command to seize their second victory in as many nights. Jamal Crawford -- who played for Portland a year ago -- came off the bench to lead the Clippers with 23 points on 9-for-17 shooting. Los Angeles center DeAndre Jordan added 21 points and eight rebounds, and Chris Paul contributed 21 points, six assists and four rebounds for the winners. The Clippers (4-2) held a huge advantage in rebounds, 44-31, and points in the paint, 56-30. Nicolas Batum scored 16 of his 23 points in the second half and also collected nine rebounds and five assists for Portland (2-3). Trailing 60-39 at halftime, the Blazers surged in the third quart...

[BTS Video] Next Time You Photograph An Outdoor Building, Try This Technique
We are heading into the final stretch for our 2011 Behind The Scenes Contest and someone is about to win a truckload of gear! The latest video that caught my attention was from LA photographer Mike Kelley . Mike has been featured on our site before but in case you missed that post, his portfolio is full of some pretty kick ass commercial images of buildings and outdoor environments. So it was only fitting for his contest entry to showcase how he approaches an outdoor commercial architectural shoot. Mike uses a lot of exposures and some well thought out accent lighting to create a composite image that looks really nice. As much as I love this video, Mike won't win this competition by impressing anyone here at Fstoppers. Instead his video has to make a lasting impression among our celebrity panel of judges . If you have any questions for Mike, leave them in the comments below.

IF PROSTITUTION is the world's oldest profession, peddling pornography cannot be far behind. The word "pornography" is even derived from the ancient Greek word for prostitute, pornē.
Societies have wrestled for millennia with how to regulate prostitution. Attempts to legislate it away have often only driven it underground.
Similar dilemmas now apply to pornography. The ease of access to it online has led to inevitable calls for controls or bans, especially to protect young people (see "What should we do about pornography?"). These are surely doomed to fail.
Pornography may be morally distasteful, but as long as there is demand somebody will meet it. The best we can do is to gather evidence on what strategies cause the least harm and regulate accordingly. Moralising may score political points but it is rarely the best route to policy.
