Nov. 30, 2013
Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
No. 9 Colorado State 3, UNLV 0
25-15, 25-9, 25-21
- Colorado State rebounded from its first loss of the season with an emphatic win vs. UNLV, sweeping the Rebels for the team's 16th sweep of the season.
- With the victory, CSU improved to 28-1 on the season, the team's best-ever regular-season finish. Regardless of how the Rams do in the NCAA tournament, the 2013 team's winning percentage will be the best in CSU's storied history (at least .933).
- Prior to the match, CSU honored its three seniors – Cayla Broadwater, Michelle Smith and Samantha Peters.
- Following the victory, CSU was presented with the 2013 Mountain West championship trophy, its fifth straight. With the title, the Rams earned the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, the Rams' 19th straight appearance – seventh among active streaks in the nation. Michelle Smith has been part of each of those championships, becoming just the second player in CSU history to win five conference titles.
- The Rams concluded Mountain West play with a 19-1 mark, leading wire to wire for the fourth time in the past five seasons. The 19 victories is the most by any team in the league's 15-year history.
- CSU's 14-1 mark at Moby Arena is tied for eighth-best in program history. It marks the 11th time that the Rams have lost one or fewer matches at home in a season.
- The 28 victories are tied for the fifth-most to a season in CSU annals, and the most since 2003. The Rams can finish the season with no more than two losses, which is a program best (was three in 1999).
- With 4,681 fans in attendance, Friday marked the fourth time this season the Rams have drawn a crowd above 4,000. Only the 1987 team (five) accomplished the feat more times.
- Friday's crowd was the 11th-largest in program history. CSU finished the regular season averaging 3,283 fans per match, a program best. The previous record was held by the 2001 Rams, averaging 2,846. CSU currently ranks sixth nationally for attendance average.
- CSU won 44 of its 49 sets played at home this season, tied for the fewest home sets lost in a season (also 2001 and 2011).
- CSU improved to 33-6 all-time against UNLV, including 17-1 at home. CSU's last loss to the Rebels came 2008, a span of 12 straight victories.
- Following the victory, CSU was presented with the 2013 Mountain West championship trophy, its fifth straight. With the title, the Rams earned a berth to the NCAA tournament for a 19th straight season – seventh among active streaks in the nation. Michelle Smith has been part of each of those championships, becoming just the second player in CSU history to win five conference titles.
- CSU limited UNLV to nine points in the second set, the first time a Rams opponent has been held to single digits in a set since Nov. 17, 2012, at Boise State (seven).
- Three players had double-digit kill totals for the Rams, led by freshman Michelle Lawrence's 11. Senior Samantha Peters and junior Marlee Reynolds had 10 apiece, while junior Kelsey Snider had eight.
- Junior Deedra Foss padded her assists-per-set average with 41 on the night (13.57 per set). Her season average (11.86) ranks seventh nationally. She also added a team-high three blocks and four kills.
- Sophomore libero Jaime Colaizzi had 22 digs, her second straight match with at least 20 digs, and the eighth time this season. Adrianna Culbert (16, one shy of a career high) and Cassidy Denny were also in double figures.
- As a team, the Rams out-dug UNLV, 61 to 34, including 27-11 in Set 3. Making the statistic even more impressive is the fact that the Rebels entered Friday ranked first in the MW with a 15.61 digs-per-set average.
- Despite hitting just .140 in Set 3, CSU hit at a .337 clip on the night, including .475 through the first two sets. It marks CSU's 16th match this season above .300. On the year, the Rams are hitting .298 (sixth nationally). On the flip side, CSU held UNLV to .034 hitting, the Rams' seventh opponent to hit below .100.
- With so many digs (nearly 30 percent above its season average), CSU was limited to five blocks, its lowest total since Sept. 7 vs. UC Santa Barbara.
- UNLV's Sekola Falemaka recorded eight kills on .500 hitting in the opening set, but was limited to -.048 efficiency over the final two sets (2-3-21).
- In addition to 10 kills, senior Samantha Peters hit .533 (10-2-15), increasing her season hitting percentage to .403. She ranks in the top 15 nationally for hitting percentage.
- The Rams will anxiously wait until Sunday night, when the NCAA tournament pairings are revealed on ESPNU. CSU is hosting a selection show watch party at Fuzzy's Taco Shop, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The selection show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Smart grid standards: Hope at last for Smart Energy Profile 2
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Not long after FERC issued some bad news about smart grid standards comes word that the most troublesome standard of all may have hopes of reviving. The Smart Energy Profile (SEP) has been mired in technical and political problems as it labored to move to Version 2 - the version much of the smart grid has been waiting for, since Version 1 is inadequate. Today, most of the warring factions announced they are joining forces to ensure interoperability for SEP 2. - By Jesse Berst
The HomePlug Alliance, Wi-Fi Alliance, HomeGrid Forum and ZigBee Alliance have agreed to join forces to ensure Smart Energy Profile 2 (SEP 2) interoperability. The new consortium will allow companies with new technologies that support communications over Internet Protocol to certify SEP 2 with a consistent testing plan.
Formally titled the Consortium for SEP 2 Interoperability, the new group is being set up as an open organization and is inviting other communications technology trade associations with an interest in smart grid to sign on.
The joint certification and testing program is intended to certify wireless and wired devices that support IP-based smart energy applications and end user equipment such as thermostats, appliances and gateways. It will cover devices that operate on one or more underlying connectivity technologies and provide utilities, product vendors and consumers with assurance that devices and applications are interoperable.
"As the hybrid wireless and wired home of the future takes shape, the need for easy interoperability becomes key," said Rob Ranck, president of HomePlug Alliance.
Jesse Berst is the founder and chief analyst of Smart Grid News.com. He consults to smart grid companies seeking market entry advice and M&A advisory. A frequent keynoter at industry events in the US and abroad, he also serves on the Advisory Council of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Energy & Environment directorate.

How to create an A5 folded Postcard
Following yesterday's brief article on "How to create a Postcard", let me add an excerpt from our next exercises: "How to create an A5 folded Postcard" using ADOBE InDesign – basically the next postcard version we looked into at our final Ycademy Seminar 2012!
How to create an A5 folded Postcard
Again, before trying to figure out how to create an A5 folded Postcard the idea of what you want to achieve – basically the picture inside your mind of what you want to see on this postcard, the Artwork – is what comes first. The rest is technique and can be learned.
In our example, we prepared a photo in portrait format and designated for A5. In my case a digital photo of a young emerald sunbird on a budding thorny acacia that I had taken just outside my studio in Noordhoek, South Africa, a few days ago. Yes – blue skies… what a lovely summer we a blessed with! The image size: 6 x 4.5 inches x 300 dpi.
Again, I opened ADOBE InDesign and created a new document, selecting an A5, portrait format and 4 pages. One click of the mouse and my layout opens, bleed en all.
A little bit of thought before we start doesn't harm: we have 4 pages, meaning page 1 is the front and page 4 is the back – these two will be probably printed together to save cost. Note: as they are folded on the left side (seen from the front), we don't want a bleed here – so when we draw our placing rectangle, bear this in mind (exclude that part). Then pull in your prepared photo or other Artwork and voila! Perhaps you want to add some text? So draw a textbox and write whatever you wish to put there. Choose fonts, size of fonts and perhaps some effects, like a shadow? Make sure the text can be read well and do leave some 'space' for the picture to breathe.
You may want to put a text legend on the inside, meaning page 2, bottom – leaving room for the message someone wants to write on pages 2 and 3 (meaning the two inside pages). Note: if you print anything on the inside of Page 2 it means an increase in cost – so you may prefer to place a legend on the back on page 4. However, if you have a nice picture taken in a museum for instance, it looks professional and elegant to see the legend on page 2 – some people just pull off pages 3 and 4 to keep the picture and not the rest – so the legend at the back makes a lot of sense. But if you have a limited budget, rather leave the inner pages 2 and 3 blanc and add your legend or other text on the back page 4.
Page 4 should have a discreet copyright and perhaps some additional text, some promotion or even another picture that corresponds to the photo on page 1 in one or another way. As I do a lot of bird photography, I had created an Apple Touch Icon long ago with the photo of one of the owls I had photographed in the area – so it's in line with my 'bird theme'. As I am in the beginning phase of preparing printed matter on the PC, I am still stunned how small objects appear in print as compared with online publishing! The above icon design is 506 x 506 px x 300 dpi – and this is as big as it gets when preparing for print! This will change with a high-quality camera – the more data are available, the higher the output. We are working on it, watch this space… :)
Above is an indication of how the pages in my test example look, excluding page 3 which is blanc. Try to have clean, sober lines that lead the eye, even with that perspective.
ADOBE InDesign
ADOBE InDesign is really THE professional program for preparing print work – and again: talk to your printer well in advance to see which colour settings he prefers on his specific printing machine.

Brilliant response.
So you're seriously arguing that a woman who has a Ph.D in economics isn't qualified to teach economics because you …
More ridiculous hyperbole and hubris towards Greece. The only thing you've managed to do in this crap piece is show …

Davenport police identified the woman as 74-year-old Mary LeMay, of Centerville, Tennessee.
Police say she was guiding her husband as he was trying to park a recreational vehicle at the truck stop on Saturday. Police Capt. Brent Biggs says the RV went out of control and struck LeMay and then struck a car full of children. Several of the were treated at the scene for scrapes and bruises.
LeMay's husband was taken to a Davenport hospital for evaluation. His name hasn't been released.
The STEM Support of Computer Science working group made the recommendation Tuesday. Group co-chairs Mark Gruwell and Ann Watts discussed a list of recommendations to integrate computer science into Iowa schools, including an endorsement to recognize teachers and technology professors qualified to teach courses.

|Dr. Mark Gordon
Claire Du Brey (August 31, 1892 – August 1, 1993) born Clara Violet Dubreyvich was an American actress. She appeared in more than 200 films between 1916 and 1959. She was born in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho and died in Los Angeles, California.
Her screen career began with Universal Studios and she played at one time or another with almost all the larger companies. Films in which she appeared include The Wishing Ring Man, The World Aflame, What Every Woman Wants, The Spite Bride, Dangerous Hours (1919), and The Walk Offs. Her career declined with the sound era and she later played mostly small roles.
According to Who's Who on the Screen (1920), Du Brey was proficient in athletics, excelling in swimming, riding, golfing, tennis and motoring. She was five feet seven inches high, weighed 130 pounds and had auburn hair and brown eyes, and took a lively interest in horticulture.[1]
Personal life[edit]
According to two biographies of Marie Dressler published in the late 1990s, Dressler and Du Brey had a long-term romantic relationship.[2][3]

In case you had any doubts that the summer of Rob Gronkowski is officially over, the Patriots tight end confirmed that for us during a snoozer of an interview with "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday.
Radio hosts aren't exactly expecting to talk about football when they bring Gronkowski on the air. They want to hear about all the raging he did during the summer, what porn stars he hung out with and who won the wrestling matches between him and his brothers. Unfortunately for Patrick, Gronk would have none of that on Monday and gave the following response when he was asked what hanging out with him and his brothers would be like.
"If it's the offseason (we would) probably just kick it," Gronkowski replied. "Play some backyard sports — definitely some basketball in the backyard. Get a little workout in, a little run in and just chill."
Trying to deliver for his listeners, Patrick then asked Gronkowski at what point would they all start crushing some beers.
"Not sure," Gronk said. "I don't do those things."
This is the same Rob Gronkowski who talked about shotgunning beers and wanting to get hammered during an interview with Sports Illustrated, so clearly he is under a gag order. Perhaps Patrick should have asked him if they would rip shots, but I doubt he would have gotten a different answer. The Patriots were serious when they told Gronk to cut the crap, so radio shows might want to wait until the spring before they start lining up for interviews.
H/T Sports Radio Interviews
gronk is nothing more than an older, oversized(barely), honey boo-boo. does anyone actually care about anything he does outside of catching a football?
Lets not forget the Gronk is in his early twenties and his success should allow him the full reach of his youth provided he does not harm himself or his career.
I hope he is not to young to understand it is ALWAYS "What have you done for us lately?" Perhaps Wes Werlker could give him a few tips.
Rob Gronkowski, you are a very large, crazy, ditzy, football-catching machine that does not have a clue on handling a simple interview or discussing much of anything intelligently.
Will you marry me ??
poor guy. clearly under the spell of Billy "Boredom" Belichick. He was so much more fun when he was drinking and being a goofball. He was about the only guy on that pretentious team that i didn't hate. oh well. I guess this is ANOTHER reason to continue to cheer for the end of the Patriots season!!
Yea,Gronk spikes beer!

Widener University, just outside Philadelphia, really rolled out the welcome wagon for guest speaker Salman Rushdie yesterday. Of course, said wagon was full of police carrying assault rifles, SWAT-team members, and drug-sniffing canines, because apparently someone was unaware that the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini on Rushdie was lifted, like, ten years ago. Upon his arrival at the train station, Rushdie was, obviously, terrified — "It's insane!" he said told the Inquirer after his lecture. "I was absolutely horrified. Assault rifles, tracker dogs — they scare me!" He was not to mention probably secondhand embarrassed for his hosts, like, Um, you guys know that I travel freely about Manhattan going to parties like a regular Fabian Basabe these days, right? Didn't anyone see me in Bridget Jones? Oddly, the school said that they "knew from the beginning" that Rushdie didn't want security, but it was provided anyway, ostensibly because, goshdarnit, no Muslim terrorists were going to do anyone any harm on their watch.

Sprinkle the crumbled cookie into the bottom of a large ramekin, small glass jar, or small shallow bowl. Drizzle the crumbs with honey, then use a fork to combine the two and then to lightly pack down the mixture. Transfer to the freezer while you make the custard.
Grate the ginger, then press the grated ginger through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl. You should have about a teaspoon of ginger juice.
Pour the cream into a small saucepan set over medium heat, stir in the sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it boil for about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the ginger juice and lemon juice. Let the mixture cool in the saucepan for about 20 minutes.
Pour the warm cream mixture into the ramekin over the crumbs, and refrigerate until the cream has set, at least 30 minutes but possibly longer, depending on the depth of the container and the fat content of the cream. (Or you can make it the day before; cover it with a piece of plastic wrap pressed tightly on the surface of the cream.) The custard will be softly set, like a pudding, not firm like a flan.
Top with the berries and eat.

"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
Ok, Walt, good job. Enough of this Madson talk, what's holding up LF?
**UPDATE: According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the deal is worth in excess of $10 million. So, wow. That's a big jump from the Reds have seemingly indicated they had to spend. Of course, it says even more than the Latos/Marshall trades how bad they want to win the NL Central in 2012.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I will enjoy the anual Feb. and Mar. dumpster diving this year much more then years past although one more surprise move would be nice.Great offseason for Walt and the Reds.
Now, Sean Marshall will not be our closer for one year.
Can we, in that time, use that leverage to sign Sean Marshall to an extension at less-than-closer rates? And then turn him into our closer in 2013? And get draft picks when Madsen signs elsewhere?
If so, $10m is a fricking bargain....
And on another note, I take back every disparaging remark I ever made about Walt Jocketty(and BCast for that matter). You can nitpick each deal, but the man has a plan and is piecing together one heck of a ball club. This is the kind of team you sacrifice some resources for.
Great deal, brings stability to the back of the pen and doesn't bring back CoCo, who I firmly believe is shot.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
WJ is the Brett Favre of GM's. Gunslinger.
The Reds' bullpen was bottom of the barrel last year (14th ish in FIP in NL) and toted a 64% save percentage.
NL avg 69%
1) Phillies 85%
2) Arizona 82%
10) Cin 64% (5 way tie)
16) Houston 50%
With everyone going back an inning this number should jump dramatically. I like the move. The money isn't much of an issue IMO because there is next to no one left on the market to spend it on. A couple junk pile OF/reclamation projects or Dorn or whoever comes up and the Reds will be front runners in the NL Central.

ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
Apparently ATi has their hands in the brilinear cookie jar again. Ordered a 6870 to see for myself, video look pretty clear to me.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
AMD/ATI has always been cheating on the AF quality. Even on Beyond3d forums, it's well known.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
The top benchmark sites typically review and include IQ comparisons to avoid issues with optimizations or whatever either side calls their bunk.
AT and H typically have comparisons and adjustments.
Besides, might be a better idea to wait for someone other than Nvidia and their blog, and Rollo, their number 1 troll to spill the details and break it down for us.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
Dumbest thing I've ever heard. ATI can set whatever level as default they want. As long as the options in the menu are still there and the proper levels of quality is all that matters. Might be a bit shady, I'll agree, but not nearly as shady as benching with PhysX on with titles that don't support it for the competition and then trying to use that as a valid benchmark comparison, something NV is known for.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
It's shady for comparing 68xx to results with older drivers, making the 68xx look better than they are. For all other purposes, the option to change the quality is still there, and the people who don't know these sorts of things won't notice the difference in quality anyway and will just enjoy a nice speed boost.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
Sazar, are you an idiot? Did you even READ the link? It's not Nvidia thats spilling the details, it's 4 major German review sites.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
ATi releases 6850s and 6870s with drivers they build benchmark enhancing optimizations into the default settings, knowing that all the reviews of the new cards will have 5-10% better performance numbers than their normal drivers would provide.
Review sites that have one to two weeks to grind out benchmarks and articles do so.
Consumers and some websites subsequently notice "Hey! What's with the sparkling textures?!"
ATi announces,"We are very sorry this bug escaped our QA process and will release a revised driver soon."
Meanwhile, all the benchmarks of their products on the web stay up with the inflated numbers and customers purchase the ATi products based on false information. IMHO, any site that used default settings for these reviews should take down the reviews, or put a disclaimer on them to the effect they were run at reduced image quality so consumers can make accurate assessments of current products.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
This topic has been discussed before on other forums and threads.
The general consensus is that these "optimizations" can be turned off by turning everything to "high quality" in the CCC settings. At that level, the settings look as good or BETTER than Nvidia's top tier texture settings. I'm not sure what's going on with the drivers, but there are ways around it, and for people to be crying foul on AMD for this issue seems unwarranted. This is why I never trust a single article. I always check my sources and if possible test their findings. There was a stink about the HD 5xxx series's texture quality too. It was proven to be game dependent. By game dependent, I mean it only affected a few and usually older titles.
Seriously, don't you have something better to do than trying to find fault with AMD's offerings? I can do the same thing with Nvidia's offerings (*cough* *cough* GTX 480 and 470), but I don't because it's completely stupid. Both companies have their faults. You realize that second graders point fingers at each other when the other person "does something" that's not nice.... Don't be a second grader. :rolleyes:
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
But Madpistol, you are pointing your finger at them for bringing this up :bleh:
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
The problem with this kind of thing is that reviewers were only given a week with the 6870s and 6850s, and all the sites I've seen (other than the Germans) used these drivers that yield 5-10% better performance.
5-10% might not seem like a huge deal, but the 6850s and 6870s were very close were very close to 460s, which actually sell for less.
As bad, the 6870 name implied they might be a replacement for the 5870s, and these drivers made them seem more like they are than the hardware warrants.
My 6870 will arrive this week, I'll try some benches with new and old drivers, see what kind of differences I get and check out the AF. The last time I looked into something like this all the stuff on the ground went missing in Far Cry2 - lol.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
I'd think that is exactly the kind of thing people come to tech sites for.
Re: ATi benches inflated by reduced AF
Nvidia has never done any research about their competitors products and passed things along to review sites to validate and lend a sheen of legitimacy. Oh wait.
As I said, the top review sites typically do IQ tests and post them once against the other. H typically does LOD testing based on playability and goes out of it's way to mention any difference in the IQ. Anand and others do a similar thing.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 09: Mardy Fish of USA plays a backhand during the men's second round match against Michael Llodra of France during Day 2 of the the AEGON Championship at Queens Club on June 9, 2009 in London, England. (Photo by Hamish Blair/Getty Images)
You wouldn't think a tennis line judge would have a dangerous job. But two weeks after a player was defaulted for having a temper tantrum that injured a line judge, another line judge was hurt Monday. This time, at Wimbledon. American Mardy Fish hit a 118-mph serve into the right eye of a female line judge. Fish led Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-3 in the first set and crushed a serve up the middle, wide. The line judge yelled that the ball was out, and the next sound you heard was a thud off her face. Tsonga turned to make sure she was OK: "Do you want a chair?" he asked. She waved him off, apparently embarrassed. But then she wobbled and said, "Eyes are watering." Tsonga turned to the chair umpire, winced and then waved for someone to come help. The woman was helped off. A fluke? Well, two weeks ago, in the final of a Wimbledon warm-up tournament, player David Nalbandian, who was leading, was angry after losing his serve. He was standing near a line judge, looking for something to kic...

Neanderthals, humans and interbreeding: old bones, new evidence
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Like other aspects of Francis' papacy, this encyclical is sure to draw attention to ways in which Christians cooperate on the basis of their shared understanding of creation.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
If we want people to accept that evangelical Christianity and evolution can co-exist, then it will only happen in the context of relationships.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
What happens when evolutionary creationists, old-earth creationists, and Southern Baptist theologians sit down publicly and talk about origins? At the 2014 meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, these three groups decided to find out. This four-part series is adapted from the three-hour dialogue, entitled "A Conversation on Origins".
Today, we are unveiling our new comment/discussion system, with many new ways to interact with authors and fellow readers about science and faith.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"

My mother –Wilma Buckman Kearns– was born within a week of that historic day in November 1920 when ALL American women voted for the first time. Wilma's mother, Edna Buckman Kearns, was a New York State suffragist who had spent more than a decade of her life, working full time on Votes for Women. And instead of being able to fulfill the hopes and dreams of the suffragists, my own mother would face the Crash of 1929, the Great Depression, World War II, and raising children during the 1950s and 1960s. It was a difficult time to be a strong independent woman. It took me years to fully appreciate the strong shoulders on which I stand. Wilma played a key role in preserving her mother's suffrage campaign wagon. She passed away in November of 1997.

Stumped...crits please
I'm at the point I always get with a painting....unsure about the next step. I hold a painting together in a way I like up to this point and then over-render, leave areas too rough, etc. Any pointers on what to do next, where to focus, what needs fixing before moving forward, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Coming along pretty good. I like how the water is rendered. I think adding a more obvious light source behind those trees would had a lot to the drawing. You can also had more reflections on the girl, her hair specially.
Go you!

you need to tighten things up with a 100% opaque brush, the plants in the foreground for example. If you use a brush set to pen preasure for the entire painting, things start to get a bit muddy. Take advantage of PS adjustments, and give unsharp mask a try to make things less "muddy"....
And also get a definite light source and some cast shadows in there.
November 6th, 2009 #4
What was your original idea and feeling you wanted to portray?
My first impression of the image is that the water looks rough and disturbed, like the main character is disrupting the surface of the water. The background seems to be the quiet and serene part of the image.
Judging from her pose though it almost seems like you wanted her and the water around her to be calm and the point of serenity.
I suppose my critique then would be to further define why shes there and what the mood around her is and how that contrasts with the rest of the image. Also, if you want to make the lighting through the trees appear more vibrant and "glowy" i'd suggest using a soft brush or some other glow effect and go over the edges of the trees to make the illusion that the light is wrapping around them a bit more since they're cylindrical. As you have it now the edges are actually darker than the center of the trees.
Anyway, hope that gives you some ideas or at least you can say "that guys totally wrong!" and come up with something else
Good luck!

The water looks really deep, but she seems to be standing in a shallow part... it just seems kind of off. I'd say maybe make her shorter. And I agree with fuzziest. Really start going into detail with the trees and the plants in the foreground.

Swamp Witch thanks + update
Thanks for the crits! Havent had much time to work on it but I'm working at defining the light source better. I also decided to go with twisted trees in the background for a creepier vibe, and I think I can lead the viewer to the subject better for the composition.

November 19th, 2009 #9
You got some very good tips up there, i hope you are taking them into account. even the concise and precise "lose the black", though the text seems a bit lacking in rhetorical foundations, is a very good idea.
it's strange that no one's said anything about the composition yet. it was the first thing that bugged me. this symmetric round frame the trees politely make around the lady so as not to obstruct the view. the black "shoulders" this gives the painting seem unnecessary, dead areas. plus the eye-shaped frame is just... well, frankly i don't really see a point to it. now, regardless of matters of taste regarding such means of creating layers of value and perspective - this black frame just plain FLATTENS the space in your painting. it doesn't sit well with the perspective of the water, its pure black colour is a killer (look up the impressionists' opinion on use of pure black, i think they had an awesome understanding of such things and some article would prolly phrase it better than i can).
so what i'm trying to say is: i recommend to lose the frame. or break it up, make it uneven. give it some perspective, or make the shape more irregular. just... change it, somehow, really... it's keeping the whole thing back.
another point i wanted to make, about your statement that you "over render" some parts and leave others untended - i was wondering whether you begin to paint on a large canvas from the start? because if that's what you do, the problem is there. if you have the option to zoom in on stuff you like drawing and tinker with it, you will. i suggest you reduce the painting's size to smtng nice and compact, like 700 pix height, and fix all you can in that size. when the composition, colour, value etc. is good, make it bigger and do all the detail work in hi-res. i've heard this tip from many an awesome artist. i'm not sure you'd want to do that to this painting at the stage it is in, i guess it depends on how attached you are to it.
Oh, and the reflection of trees in the water is wonky. it should be completely vertical - not inclined in perspective as it seems to be here. it looks like the trees are casting a sharply defined shadow on the water -- a result possible only if there's an insane, immense, humongous spotlight behind them... O.O i'm not sure the story and atmosphere here is that of an alien abduction story, so i figured that's not what you mean.
also the trees in the bg look like they're all on the same plane, that is - completely flat.
i'll stop now.
have fun with it! good luck.
November 19th, 2009 #10
Things I like:
- The painting as a whole (the first one rather than the second) is really beautiful. The colours are great, though the blacks could really be a tad mire varied, try making the shadows warmer, as the light seems to be cold.
The vertical trees work better for me, but the composition could actually loose some of its staleness. I would keep the dress so simple, its beautiful like this.
Things I'd think about:
-The water, I would either calm it down or let it be rippling where ehe stands. i do not see a problem in it being deep and her standing on it. Kinda messiah like!
-What is she doing there? Maybe you could add some more characters in the forground, very dark though and you could merge them with the silhouette.
November 19th, 2009 #11
I don't know if this is unhelpful, it's just an opinion, but I prefer the trees in the first version.

Thanks all! Very helpful...really.
Happy Satan - I do typically work at small scale, with the painting at about 25% but the idea of making the overall image smaller and scaling it up at a certain point is a good idea. I actually did that by accident as this started out as a small color thumbnail...might be the reason it looks as good as it does considering I've never tackled an environment before. I'm going to make that common practice.
Janos - warming the shadows would definitely help. And you're right - the first one is better now that I go back and look at them. I knew the second was rougher because I went back a few steps, but the composition is way too busy with the curvy trees.

BQ Aquaris E5: An Ubuntu Edition Phone that severely disappoints
I can't begin to tell you how saddened I am that I've had to write this. I wanted the Ubuntu Phone to completely blow me away and pull me from the Android platform with ease and grace. Instead, it solidified my opinion that jumping into the ring with Android and Apple is a fight that most aren't really ready to take up. Please, Canonical, go back to the drawing board and return with a UI that makes sense... or simply return all of your focus on what you do best and leave the mobile platform to Google and Apple.

Mageia 5 Linux Distro Offers New Tools, Improved Stability
The Mageia 5 Linux distribution, which launched June 19, provides new tools, improved stability and overall ease of use. The Mageia Linux distro was first formed in September 2010 as a fork of French Linux distribution Mandriva. While Mandriva as a commercial entity ceased operation in May of this year, Mageia is alive and well, continuing on its mission of creating a user-friendly desktop-focused Linux distribution. New features in Mageia 5 include support for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) hardware, which enables Mageia to run on a broader array of systems than previously. Historically, Mandriva was focused on the KDE Linux desktop as the default. In addition to KDE, Mageia offers users an easy installation choice of other desktops, including GNOME 3.14, Cinnamon 2.4.5 and Xfce 4.12. With Mageia 5, the Btrfs next-generation Linux file system is now fully supported, providing users with a robust file system capability. Helping users move from Microsoft's Windows operating system is also part of Mageia 5, which has a Windows settings import feature. eWEEK examines key highlights of the Mageia 5 Linux distribution release.
