Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Auxerre coach Jean Fernandez has revealed his frustration after watching his side go down 2-0 to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League last night.
Two goals in five minutes from Zlatan Ibrahimovic were enough to sink the French visitors, who had impressed for an hour, striking the crossbar through Adama Coulibaly and seeing Steven Langil waste a four-on-two break with a rash shot.
"It is frustrating, of course," Fernandez told L'Equipe. "For 60 minutes, we were almost on a par with Milan. We had chances, I would say we had the better chances.
"Coulibaly's header hit the bar and Langil lacked experience, but we could have led 1-0 at the San Siro, which would have made it very difficult for Milan."
Fernandez believed his players tired, and when Ibrahimovic got his second shortly after the opener, the game was effectively over.
"When it was 1-0 to the Italians, we still had an opportunity because there was 25 minutes left, but when you concede another one so soon it is very difficult."

Homotopy invariance of Novikov-Shubin invariants and Betti numbers
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We give short proofs of the Gromov-Shubin theorem on the homotopy invariance of the Novikov-Shubin invariants and of the Dodziuk theorem on the homotopy invariance of the Betti numbers of the universal covering of a closed manifold in this paper. We show that the homotopy invariance of these invariants is no more difficult to prove than the homotopy invariance of ordinary homology theory.

Learning with circles?
As the title says, I would like to know your opinion:
In nearly every drawing tutorial, they starting with squares and circles to form a body. My art teacher says I shouldn't do that, but I'm confused.
Is this way to learn just ONE way, or really the best way to go - To achieve the best learning experience?
And is there a difference with the start of a figure between drawing from your imagination, or drawing in an akt session?
Would be very pleased to read your opinions!
best regards

Its just ONE way and you need experiment with a few and it does not seem really like the wrong way to me. Ask him specifically why he has a problem with it as it sounds more like a personal bias of the teacher.
Your second question yes there is. In fact there are multiple approaches to both drawing from observation and from imagination. If you look at Vilppu and Michael Hampon as example they specifically try to force you to treat what you do in the life drawing room in precisely the same way you would do for drawing from imagination. For the circumstance it was important because Vilppu had animators draw in a completely different way in the life drawing room and it wasn't transferring across. That's why he says "we never copy the model"
You can however doing things like enveloping and using the negative space. For a methodology far more suited to observational figure drawing check out Anthony Ryder.
Now no way it better than the other and you do yourself a disservice not to play with all of them for they are all useful in their own way even from an animator or concept artist. Later on you can concentrate on what works best.
At the beginning though just draw. It is going to be difficult utilizing any methodology so just ease yourself in. No pressure.

setting up the act, in basic volumes is probably the only way to learn to understand the space, since it forces you to heavily abstract features.
Your art teacher is dead wrong, even if he/she prefers some other way of setting up/building form, since there's really no substitute for basic geometric bodies, as a tool and a reminder.
In time you'll learn to rely on spheres and cubes, less and less, but even DaVinci never abandoned them completely, in his sub-constructions.

just ask your teacher why it isnt the right way from his point of view. none of us can tell you why he said that.
im personally working by what cola described... but that does not neccessarily mean its the right way for you, or your teacher. youve got a teacher... exploit that...ask questions.
theres no easy way to drawing.. youve got to make it work the way youre able to...

I want to tell you that I am also used to do exactly same process like you to draw body shapes and I don't found anything wrong about that. Your teacher's opinion matters lot in this method but, you should tell her that this trick helps me to draw quick and accurate painting of human being.

I've never seen a good tutorial or any good book suggests starting from circles and squares. They always suggest starting from ovals (ellipsoids) and boxes (rectangular cuboids). That's a huge difference. Ovals and boxes have depth and orientation in three-dimensional space.
Note that there is infinite number of ovals that can fit into the same 2d ellipse contour.
Stating 3d orientations of main forms is extremely important because they reflect flexion/torsion of the spine, which is the key element in every gesture.

Over the air FM broadcast radio is another feature Samsung chooses to leave out of their phones. Seems like a no-brainer to me to include it, as it was on my HTC Sensation. One time when high winds blew out AC power for over 2 days in my area, the FM radio on my phone was the only way to tune in reports on current conditions.
There are dozens of apps that will play streaming radio over an internet connection, but over the air FM radio reception has to be built in to the chipset on the phone and there is no app that can give you this feature.

Christopher Wool
Christopher Wool grew up Chicago, in 1955. He received a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College, and then furthered his education at the New York Studio School and at New York University. Wool lives and works in New York.Wool is best known for his paintings of large, black, stenciled letters on white canvases. However, Wool possesses a wide range of style – using a combined array of painterly techniques, including spray paint, silkscreen, and hand painting. Wool provides tension between painting and erasing, gesture and removal, depth and flatness.Christopher Wool's work has been shown extensively around the world including venues like the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. His 2006 solo exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, Beverly Hills will be his first with Gagosian.

Committed to sharing the history of their community, they transformed the white, two-story building on the town square into the Minnesota Machinery Museum. Since 1980, the museum has collected vintage farm equipment and created exhibits celebrating the history and agricultural tradition of Yellow Medicine County.

So, this is one of my first digital 2d works. It's actually a repaint of a sculpted head. Didn't know where to post it since there is as well some 3d. Hope it's not the wrong place. Comments and critiques are welcome.

It looks muddy, but the kind where you worked too close to the canvas. Also the values are a bit random, but mostly the structure is very 'dirty'. Get some large hard brushes at first, and focus on building structure.

We all knew it was coming. Reports were already out that New York Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum would be fired, with head coach Rex Ryan's future a little uncertain, although it was assumed he'd be safe. Those early reports turned out to be true, as Jets owner Woody Johnson made his official announcement today: "Our 2012 season was a disappointment to all of us. My goal every year as owner is to build a team that wins consistently. This year, we failed to achieve that goal", Johnson said via the team's website. "This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season. Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship games, we are not where we want to be, and a new General Manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track. Starting immediately, we will conduct a search for a new General Manager. I've consulted with a number of football executives and I have also engaged the services of Korn/Ferry International, the same search firm that conducted the NFL Commissioner search in 2006. Our process with Korn/Ferry will be led by Jed Hughes, who heads their sports practice and who previously led the General Manager search for the Seattle Seahawks, among others. When we have updates on this process, we will provide them to our fans and the media. Rex Ryan will remain the Head Coach of our football team. I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team. Like all Jets fans, I am disappointed with this year's results. However, I am confident that this change will best position our team for greater success going forward." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});
The jets organization are a Ship of Fools....keeping the resident moron at headcoach will prove to be just one mistake in a long line of mistakes this team has made. But hell, the jets are good for comic relief if nothing else. Woody Johnson has NO BALLS and the jets will once again fail in the AFC East again next year. Maybe they'll even keep Mark 'Butt Fumble' Sanchez also, what a joke.

The KTM 500 XC-W Thread.

Is it my imagination, or is there no way to turn on the "high beam" on the xcw? Two nights ago I commuted to work on the bike, and on the way home I had to ride in the dark. The light is so dim, I couldn't really ride by it, and I'm not even sure it could be used as a sufficient running light. I pulled off to have a look as I figured it was just not working, and saw there is a big bulb in the housing, but couldn't figure out how to turn it on. I looked at my owners manual on my phone, and I could only ever see reference to the high beam when talking about the EXC. When I got home, I took the light off and looked around, and I don't see a way to turn it on. Maybe the dealer didn't hook it up correctly when they put the horn on to make it street legal? Please don't tell me that KTM have just used the same head light assembly as the EXC, and there is no way to turn that big light on. Why not just ship the XCW with a number plate with some reflective tape? It's probably put out more light than the stocker...

LOS ANGELES - It was a beautiful Monday afternoon in the City of Angels and like in 2012, a quarter-million fans of the Los Angeles Kings came out to support their long-beloved team for winning hockey's Holiest prize for the second time in three years. Like in 2012, this was a celebration worth remembering.
Fans - most of whom had been waiting since 5 am local time - packed themselves all along Figueroa - beginning at the corner of W. 5th St. in the city's Financial District - to watch their boys ride down the street in double-decker buses, Toyota Tundras and other flambuoyantly-decorated vehicles. While the players and their families will be riding along the parade route with the Stanley Cup in tow, so will the coaches, broadcasters, alumni, the Ice Crew as well as the team's lovable mascot, Bailey.
There may not have been any F-bombs dropped by goaltender Jonathan Quick but there was one dropped by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti. "There are two rules in politics," the mayor announced to the Staples Center faithful at the ice-level podium, "They say never ever be pictured with a drink in your hand and never swear," then proceeded to hold up a can of Bud Light and finish with, "But this is a big f*@#in' day."
Before the party moved inside, however, the fans, players and even coaches had plenty of fun in the sun. Head coach Darryl Sutter, as a matter of fact, took his shirt off. That may not be very shocking but given Sutter's quiet but witty nature in addition to his old-school coaching methods, seeing the Kings' bench boss shirtless will certainly something to remember for Kings fans not only at the parade on Monday but abroad.
After growing their playoff beards for the previous eight weeks, many of the players on the parade route did not look familiar with their what felt like a foreign look with their clean-shaven faces. But Kings fans did recognize them anyway and proceeded to celebrate all the way down Figueroa and into Staples Center where just three nights earlier, Alec Martinez's overtime goal clinched the Kings' second Stanley Cup crown.
Monday marked a very deserving celebration for the players, all the fans and everyone else involved who made any type of contribution to the success of the Los Angeles Kings over the last couple of months. While 2012 was a very special time, 2014 marked a postseason where the Kings made even more history, first becoming just the fourth team in NHL history to come back from an 0-3 series deficit to win. Then, they became the first team to go to the Final after winning their first three series in seven games - and all on the road to boot.
It took a few more games and a bit more adversity than in 2012, but at the end of the day, neither the Los Angeles Kings could care less. After all, as long as they crossed that finish line, how they got there is simply irrelevant.
On this day, June 16, 2014, the quarter-million fans who attended the parade and the many more who watched from home - whether in Los Angeles, Toronto or Timbuktu - all that matters is that their Los Angeles Kings are, once again, the Kings of hockey.

Oscar Wilde's lipstick-covered tomb cleaned up
PARIS (AP) — Actor Rupert Everett and Oscar Wilde's grandson have unveiled a makeover of the writer's gravesite on the 111th anniversary of his death.
Everett, who is writing about the poet's life, spoke at a podium Wednesday bearing a poster of the pre-renovation tomb covered in notes and lipstick at Paris' famed Pere Lachaise cemetery.
The tomb had become such a well-loved pilgrimage site — and had been so well-kissed — that it needed renovation. A glass screen now separates visitors from the stone itself.
Everett hailed Wilde's "force" and the "amazing trajectory of his life."
Grandson Merlin Holland said his grandfather "would be incredibly touched by all the attention. After all he was sent out of England in 1897 a bankrupt, a homosexual and a convict ... and the French took him to their hearts."

July 3, 2015
TROY, Ala. – The Troy University baseball team used a three-run first inning to defeat Central Michigan, 3-2, giving head coach Bobby Pierce his 400th win at the school and the Trojans a series spit.
David Hall doubled home Clay Holcomb in the home half of the first inning and Matthew Howard later singled to score Hall and Jo-El Bennett. That would be all the offense Troy needed as starter Cody Hughes combined with three relievers to slow down the Chippewas (2-6) offense.
Hughes pitched four innings allowing two earned runs on three hits. After Hughes allowed consecutive base runners in the fifth, he gave way to Jeremy McGowan, who surrendered a pair of soft singles allowing the two runs to come across. McGowan (1-0) would settle down and pitch 2 2/3 innings striking out four and would pick up the win on the mound. Freshman Marc Skinner picked up his first save of the season getting the final out of the eighth and tossing a perfect ninth.
Troy (5-3) would pick up all three runs and eight hits off CMU starter Adam Aldred (0-2). Morgan Oliver and Nick Regnier were the only Chippewas to record two base hits.
The game was delayed in the seventh inning due to rain but resumed 13 minutes later.
With the win, Pierce not only picked up win No. 400 at Troy but No. 935 in his career. The coach, now in his 12th season at Troy, is just 34 wins away from breaking Chase Riddle's school record for wins (434).
Howard and David Hall finished with two hits each for the Trojans while Holcomb, Bennett, Garrett Pitts, Nick Masonia and Tyler Vaughn also picked up base hits.
The Trojans will travel to Florida A&M on Tuesday for the team's first road game of the season. Game time is set for 3 p.m. (CT).

Kenan Thompson
Repertory Player
Kenan Thompson returns for his 12th season on "Saturday Night Live."
Thompson has made numerous contributions to the show with his catalog of hilarious impressions that include Bill Cosby, Rev. Al Sharpton, Charles Barkley, Cee-Lo Green and Whoopi Goldberg, and by playing memorable characters such as DJ Dynasty Handbag, the scathingly fierce co-host of "Deep House Dish," boisterous second wife Virginiaca Hastings, and "Weekend Update" correspondent Jean K. Jean. Thompson has most recently garnered praise from audiences for playing characters Lorenzo McIntosh, a convict who uses "scare tactics" with delinquents, and D'Andre Cole, the disruptive singing talk show host on the wildly popular sketch, "What Up with That."
A native of Atlanta, Thompson made his television debut as a member of Nickelodeon's all-kid sketch comedy series "All That." He and his partner Kel Mitchell debuted on a spin-off show, "Kenan and Kel," in 1996. Thompson also had a recurring role on the WB's "Felicity."
Thompson showcased his voice talents as Greedy Smurf in the animated films "The Smurfs" and "The Smurfs 2" and appeared in Rob Reiner's film "The Magic of Belle Isle" with Morgan Freeman. He co-stars alongside Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Ed Helms in the Lionsgate feature film "They Came Together." His past projects include starring opposite Samuel L. Jackson in "Snakes on a Plane" and appearing in the comedy "Wieners." Thompson has also lent his voice to the animated comedy "Space Chimps," the television series "Sit Down, Shut Up" and the Kobe/LeBron Nike puppet campaign during the 2009 NBA Playoffs. Other feature film credits include "Fat Albert," "D2: The Mighty Ducks," "Good Burger," "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle," "Heavyweights" with Ben Stiller, "My Boss's Daughter" with Ashton Kutcher and "Barbershop 2."
Thompson can also be heard as the Impresario in the Hulu original animated series "The Awesomes," created by Seth Meyers.
Thompson lives in Florida and New York City. His birthday is May 10.

This news release is available in Spanish.
The effect that the introduction of environmental fiscal reform would have on an economic system has been the focus of study since the 1990s. However, studies of this type have until now failed to take the informal economy into consideration; this is an activity which in the case of Spain, for example, could account for as much as 20-25% of GDP. The group of researchers of the UPV/EHU and the BC3 have addressed this subject and have concluded that environmental fiscal reform could help to cut the damage caused by the informal economy on the public system apart from the environmental benefit it would bring in its wake. The journal Energy Economics has published the online version of the work and will shortly be issuing a print version.
As different environmental problems have been emerging, many pieces of academic work have been produced to study the possibility of incorporating environmental fiscal reform and the effect this would have on the economy. Environmental fiscal reform is one of the possible channels for addressing environmental problems and basically consists of levying taxes on the activities associated with environmental problems, like CO2 emissions, and cutting other kinds of taxes. "Environmental taxes manage to get consumers and companies to pay for the damage sustained by society as a result of pollution. What is more, they can be very effective in some cases because they can succeed in bringing about changes in our habits or behaviour and thus lower pollution," explained Mikel Gonzalez-Eguino, one of the researchers responsible for this study.
The raising of taxes by public bodies through the tax system usually finds itself undermined by the so-called informal economy, in other words, the economi

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
For crepes:
Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. DO AHEAD Crepe batter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reblend before using.
Line plate with paper towel or parchment paper. Heat 9-inch-diameter nonstick skillet with 7-inch-diameter bottom over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons batter to skillet; tilt and rotate skillet to spread batter evenly over bottom. Cook until center of crepe is cooked through and edges are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Run spatula around crepe and invert onto prepared paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, placing paper towel or parchment paper between crepes, making at least 18 crepes. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
For calvados butter sauce:
Using electric mixer, beat butter in medium bowl until well blended. Add sugar and coarse salt; beat until fluffy. Gradually beat in Calvados just until incorporated. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
For apples:
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add apples; sprinkle with sugar, coarse salt, and cinnamon. Sauté until apples are tender, about 3 minutes. Add Calvados and cook until most of liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place crepe stack (with paper towels between crepes) on rimmed baking sheet. Cover baking sheet with foil and seal at edges; warm in oven until crepes are heated through, about 20 minutes for cold crepes and 15 minutes for room-temperature crepes.
Stir Calvados butter sauce in small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and heated through. Rewarm apple mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Place 1 crepe on plate, browned side down. Spoon 2 teaspoons Calvados sauce over crepe, then fold crepe into quarters. Repeat with remaining crepes and Calvados butter sauce, placing 3 crepes on each plate. Spoon apples over crepes on each. Spoon any remaining sauce over crepes and serve.

Before we look at the third remove setting which is Motion Blur I want to introduce you to the advanced settings inside of the Smart Sharpen dialog box. To that end go ahead and open this image it's called notrespassing.jpeg. This is an image that I shot. It's a low resolution image it's kind of a cruddy image as well. And these advanced settings are useful for cruddy images as it turns out this image is so cruddy that's it's got a little of bird poop on the top of this on the top of this pole here, which I knew you would want to stare at for the entire exercise.
Actually I am going to move it up so I will make this image a little more discreet, cover it up buddy alright so now I am going to press Ctrl+Alt+F or Command+Option+F on the Mac in order to once again visit the Smart Sharpen dialog box here and these are the last settings I applied in the amount value of a 100% and a radius value of 3.0 pixels. We are going to stick with remove set to Lens Blur but we are going to change these other values a little bit specifically I am going to take the amount value up to 400% so that we are exaggerating the amount value when we can really see what's going on inside of this image.
And now I am going to move it down a little bit not that far down, no little farther up there so we can still see the fly though. It's a little fly sitting here on top of this sign. Now notice that we are clipping some highlights and shadows. One of the effects of exaggerating the edge contrast is that you will on occasion blur your highlights and clip your shadows but not in super big regions the way you can with a Levels command for example, let's say, rather you are going to just sort of blow these little edge pixels which isn't as big a deal but it might not be the effect that you are looking for.
So this is before notice that the edge was much more tampered in this area near the fly and this is after. So let's say you want to turn down the highlights and shadows well you would take advantage of the advanced options right here go ahead and click on this Advance radio button. And notice now you have got tabs you didn't have tabs before check that out now you have got tabs one that includes Sharpen all the sharpen controls that we have already looked at and the others are shadow and highlight. Now I am going to go ahead and turn More Accurate off for this image. We certainly don't want More Accurate turned on if anything we want for this image we want less accurate, fewer flies, less bird poop those kinds of controls.
Anyway 400% and a 3.0 radius will work for us. Remove set to Lens Blur, now let's start by checking out highlights since it's most obvious that we are blowing highlights inside of this image. Now this three values here the bottom two don't do anything until you adjust the fade amounts, so let's go ahead and crank the fade amount all the way up to a 100% and notice, did you see that we just faded out those highlights right there. And if you want to fade more highlights if you want to include more highlights into the highlights grouping there then go ahead and raise the tonal width value if you want to include fewer luminance levels in the highlight equation then reduce the tonal width value so in other words if you raise this all the way up to a 100% this is just like a tonal width setting inside of the shadow highlight dialog box, remember that way back when so in other words the idea is that we are starting with white as our absolute highlight and then tapering off over the course of the entire brightness range when we set this to a 100%.
If you don't want this shadows to be effected at all not even little bit then back off this option here. I am going to go ahead and take it fairly high so we can include a few midtones as well so I will take the tonal width value up to 75%. The radius value allows you to distribute the effect if you need to but in reality it barely does anything it has very little effect in the way of a visible effect inside of your image. I am going to go ahead and take it up to 10 pixels just so that radius value is bigger than the radius value that we have assigned for the sharpen effect, just so that we are not going to see edges inside of edges there.
It's very unlikely we would by I am just running a precaution and then I would go ahead and take that fade value down to something that makes a little more sense. And I am just sort of going to keep an eye on my preview in order to gauge how much fading I really want and then about 35% I think it looks pretty good so this is the unsharpened version of the image and this is the sharpened version of the image without any blown highlights thanks to these values right here and working on this same rational I figure I have probably got some clip shadows inside this hideous little photograph here so I might as well apply the same settings 35, 75, 10 so let's go ahead and enter the same values of 35% 75 tonal width and of course 10 for the radius value just to keep things moderately distributed there.
And this actually looks pretty good now. This is a before version of the shot and this is an after version and you see how much we have reined in the sharpening effect even though we still have this relatively large amount value actually I would say not even relatively this is just a large amount value but because we have tampered the shadows and highlights we backed off the effect considerably. Now there is one more option inside this dialog box that I want to show you the fact that you can save out settings and it sufficiently bizarre that I am going to explain how you work this option in the next exercise.
