1929-30 St. Louis Browns Game Worn Jersey. Tremendously rare grey flannel jersey is the first of this style we've ever encountered. We've been able to narrow the vintage to a two-season span by virtue of the lettering style on the chest that debuted in 1929 and the absence of a number (or stitching pattern thereof) on verso. The team adopted jersey digits for the 1931 season. We assume that the player attribution was once handwritten on the "Rawlings St. Louis" collar tag, but time has erased any notations, leaving original ownership an enduring mystery. The garment remains in splendid condition otherwise, with the two-tone felt "St. Louis" arching gently across a chest missing two of the original buttons. An inconsequential half inch tear on verso is mentioned only in the interest of full disclosure, and there are no other distractions, a rarity for uniforms of this period typically plagued by staining and moth holes. Almost certainly the finest surviving example of this style that once saw action at Fenway and the House that Ruth Built. LOA from Heritage Auctions.

Media Law Conference at Stetson University, Tampa
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Last Friday WMNF reported on the 2007 Media Law Conference that was in progress at Stetson University College of Lawâs Tampa campus. It brought together people from both professions to discuss the changing relationship between the law and the media. This evening, WMNFâs Seán Kinane brings you more from that conference.
The Media Law Conference focused on several topics including Floridaâs Sunshine Laws, when reporters become news, the âfalse lightâ doctrine, and the changing relationship between the law and the media.
Jerrianne Hayslett feels that the news business has changed in the last few decades. She is a Media Relations Consultant but in the past has been a newspaper reporter and the director of public information for Los Angeles County Court. Hayslett said that television news has had to become more sensational. And FOX News host Greta Van Susteren said that trials could be a way for television to achieve the kind of drama that ratings require. Here, Hayslett explains why media have changed followed by Van Susterenâs response.
âI think the reason is the ratings race and for readership. People really disagree with that. But I think the foundation for that was laid, I donât know, in the 70s or 80s, I canât remember when it happened. But, when television news was no longer loss leader and was expected to be part of the âratings gameâ if you want to call it that. And so they had to pull their own, had to pull in the ratings. And how do you do that? You become more sensational. You do things that attract attention, you become more entertaining.â Van Susteren - âBut trials are sensational. They are by their very nature: theyâre dissention, theyâre crisis, theyâre emotion, theyâre all that. â Hayslett - âAbsolutely.â
One panel discussion dealt with false light cases, in which the subject of a media report thinks that her reputation has been blemished by the slant of the report even though it was reported truthfully. False light cases are different from defamation cases in which a reporter is accused of publishing things that arenât true. The case of Gannett v. Anderson, in which a false light claim has been filed against a newspaper, will be heard soon in the Florida Supreme Court. Attorney Larry Turner, who defends media outlets and reporters from false light accusations, thinks that the Court might decide to do away with false light.
âI think that there is a clear trend towards either getting rid of False Light as a separate tort or at least conforming False Light to the laws involving defamation rather than invasion of privacy. And I think itâs heading that way for logical and good reasons. And that is it doesnât make sense to basically have two separate torts that arise from the same set of circumstances.â
But attorney C.K. Hoffler, who represents clients who have accused media of false light violations, thinks the Florida Supreme Court will clarify what False Light is rather than abolish it.
Another panel discussion dealt with the issue of when reporters become the subject of news, including when they go to jail to protect their sources. But prosecutors need to use more discretion before issuing a subpoena to members of the media, according to Stetson Law Associate Dean Ellen Podgor.
âShould a federal prosecutor, should a state prosecutor, be trying to get information from the press? And I think thatâs the most important question that needs to be answered. And I think itâs a question that the press needs to start asking. Whether a prosecutor who has enormous discretion ⦠should be using that discretion to try to get that information from the press in the first place. ⦠Or should a prosecutor, more appropriately, do the investigation, the hard-work investigation, to get the same kind of information that that reporter was able to get.â
Floridaâs Sunshine Law and Public Records Law are supposed to make access to government records easy for reporters. But every year more and more exemptions to Floridaâs Open Government Laws are passed by the legislature, which is making things too complicated, according to media law attorney Allison Steele.
âThe entire process of getting access to records is woefully over-lawyered. Itâs almost to the point today where a reporter cannot get a records-request responded to without a lawyer for an agency having reviewed all of the records to see if an exemption applies. Thatâs a really sad direction that the [Florida Sunshine] Act is taking but again, itâs going that way because of so many exemptions that are so complicated and that so nobody understands.â
But even though Floridaâs Sunshine Laws can be clouded over with exemptions, Jerrianne Hayslett still feels that Florida is a good place to be a reporter, especially when it comes to access to the courts.
âThe media in Florida, youâve got it good. I use Florida as an example whenever Iâm talking about access to the court system. You really have, I think, the most accessible system in the country. A former Florida journalist got a job with the L.A. Times assigned to the court system and he groused constantly because it was such a closed system: âWe donât do things this way in Florida and Iâm going to change this.â And so forth.â

Room Acoustics Using a 2.5 Dimensional Approach with Damping Included
Cavity modes of a finite bounded region with rigid boundaries can be used to compute the steady state harmonic response for point source excitation. In cuboid domains this is straightforward. In general regions, determining a set of orthonormal modes is more difficult. Previous work showed that for rooms of constant height, 3D modes can be computed from the cross section modes, and this used for a fast solution. This approach used modal damping. More realistic damping associated with wall areas could be included using a damped eigenvalue calculation of the cross section modes. This is restrictive on damping formulations. An alternative non-modal approach, using a trigonometric expansion through the height is proposed. This is still faster than 3D FEM.

AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas at Austin School of Law announced public service projects adopted by its first-year class, as part of its new Society Program. The Society Program was initiated under the leadership of Bill Powers and was introduced to build a stronger sense of community among students and to further improve student access to UT Law faculty members. Each society offers first-year law students a range of professional/academic, social and public service activities. This spring the societies are involved in the following community service projects:
The McCormick Society volunteered during The People's Law School on Saturday, Feb. 26. Members of the Travis County Bar Association offered free classes on common legal issues. The students served as classroom assistants to the attorneys teaching the classes, provided directions to participants, and answered questions about the Law School.
The Leon Green Society will work at the Austin State School on Friday, March 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Law student volunteers will be painting, cleaning, organizing, and assisting at the Austin State School as needed.
The Gloria K. Bradford, Carlos Cadena and Charles McCormick Societies will volunteer to help with the 77th Annual Zilker Park Kite Festival on Sunday, March 6 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Volunteers will be involved in all aspects of the festival, from selling soft drinks to helping kids make kites. All proceeds from the Kite Festival are donated to charities that aid local children in crisis, such as the Pebble Project and the Rainbow Room.
The Alice Sheffield and Gus Hodges Societies will provide volunteers for Explore UT on Saturday, March 5, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Explore UT is the University's annual campus-wide open house that includes artistic, cultural and scientific exploration of UT. Students will be assisting in various capacities from welcoming visitors to UT to helping with programs across campus.
The Gus Hodges Society will work at the Capital Area Food Bank on Saturday, March 5, from 12:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The students will help the food bank sort and process donations, and will be joined by attorneys from Jenkens & Gilchrist, P.C.
Students from the John Sutton Society have volunteered to assist low income individuals and families who are eligible for the earned income tax credit (EITC) file their tax returns. These volunteers have received training from the IRS in order to become certified tax preparers. Many low income families miss out on EITC, and these tax preparers are helping them get tax refunds.
Members of the Helen Hargrave Society have been involved in Street Law, an organization that sends law students into middle and high schools to teach practical, participatory lessons about law, democracy, and human rights. Additionally, they are working with the Survivor Support Network which aids survivors of domestic violence and their families.

Speaking of HBO, Vulture has news about
The Leftovers
Damon Lindelof's HBO adaptation of Tom Perrotta's rapture novel
The Leftovers
has tapped
Friday Night Lights
, and
Rihanna's Battleship
director Peter Berg for the pilot. Filming is set to begin in New York in June, with a 2014 premiere eyed. "The pilot will introduce characters and storylines not in the book. It has to," Lindelof told Vulture last summer. "The book is so rich in characters and details ... and opens so many creative doors. But it probably only has enough content for two or three episodes."

Last week kicked off with a bang (well, a lot of bangs actually) as the Phuket Vegetarian Festival got underway.
Ten days of merriment follow.
That's the customary lighting of fire-crackers at every opportunity. The beating of drums as loudly as possible. And everybody dressed entirely in white clothing.
Unsurprisingly, people also stop eating meat.
It's true that the festival can be pretty noisy.
But the noise is nothing compared to the gruesome antics of the Ma-Song ('entranced horses' - well they are called horses but they're actually people)...
The Ma-Song claim that during the days of the festival they are possessed by The Gods.
The Gods apparently give them supernatural powers and force the Ma-Song to perform acts of self-torture.
This is supposed to move evil spirits from the Ma-Song to the Gods.
I've seen Ma-Song with all sorts of strange items piercing their bodies...
From a canoe paddle to a garden spade.
And on a smaller scale - a pineapple stalk still attached to the pineapple seems to be a popular choice.
If you don't believe me take a look...
This fella has clearly opted for bananas instead of pineapples.
As if that were not enough, the Ma-Song climb bladed ladders, walk over hot coals and bathe in hot oil - usually with their piercings still intact.
They appear to be in a trance - I suppose you would too if you had a pineapple or garden spade piercing your face.
But this is not to be taken lightly...
Last year one devotee was severely dealt with for piercing a pigs tongue and trying to pass it off as his own.
The good news is the festival brings in around 200 million Baht from tourism.
Phuket Vegetarian Festival has been held every year since 1825.
And it always falls on the first day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar.
Maybe next year you might think about joining in?

Cardinal O'Brien's views have sparked controversy
nepal Cardinal Keith O'Brien had sparked more than his fair share of controversy before stepping down as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh on Monday and announcing he wouldn't take part in the conclave to elect the next pope.
Known for his outspoken stances on abortion, same-sex marriage and flip-flopping on priestly celibacy, Britain's most senior Roman Catholic leader raised eyebrows even before he was named cardinal in 2003.
In recent years he has been noted for his blunt attacks on gay unions and abortion, which are very much in line with the Vatican position but which critics at home have said were unnecessary interventions into political life.
On Monday, O'Brien recused himself from the conclave to elect the next pope after allegations that he approached three priests and a former priest in an "inappropriate" manner were published in The Observer newspaper. The Vatican is investigating the allegations. Here are some of his statements:
O'Brien appeared to take an accepting stance toward homosexual priests around the time when he was appointed cardinal in 2003.
"If they are leading a celibate life, God bless the men," he was quoted as saying at the time.
But his acceptance doesn't extend to same-sex marriage. In recent years he has taken a hardline position against same-sex unions - which he called "harmful to the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of those involved." Last year, he lobbied against the Scottish government's plans to legalize gay marriage.
"All children deserve to begin life with a mother and father; the evidence in favor of the stability and well-being which this provides is overwhelming and unequivocal. It cannot be provided by a same-sex couple, however well-intentioned they may be," the cardinal wrote in a March 2012 piece in the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
He went on to argue that same-sex marriage is a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human rights," a stance that prompted angry rebukes from gay rights groups.
Church teaching holds that gays should be treated with dignity and respect but that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered." The church has opposed same-sex marriage unions because it believes marriage is a sacred union between man and woman.
O'Brien had also waded into the debate on abortion, causing a stir in 2007, when he urged voters to reject political candidates who defend what he called a "social evil" and "unspeakable crime."
He has compared the abortion rate to the Dunblane massacre - the 1996 shooting in Scotland that killed more than a dozen school children.
"We are killing - in our country - the equivalent of a classroom of kids every single day," he was quoted as saying by the BBC at the time.
Critics accused O'Brien of using inflammatory language and intervening in politics.
His comments, however, were perfectly in line with church teaching opposing abortion; the church holds that life begins at conception.
Despite his attack on gay marriage and abortion, O'Brien has been known to take a relatively liberal stance on homosexuality.

End of an era
Publication Date : 09-10-2012
For almost four years after the 2008 Constituent Assembly (CA) election, the process of integration of the Maoist combatants eclipsed almost all other issues, including the constitution-writing process. Now the process of selecting former combatants opting for integration into the Nepal Army has formally concluded, a milestone in the country's peace process. The Army has announced that 71 ex-combatants have cleared the examinations for the officer rank with a further 1,391 lower rank recruits preparing to attend training for their military careers in the Army, meaning that parties can now focus on other issues of national importance. The significance of the end of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is integral to a phase in history which began with the Maoists beginning an armed struggle in 1996.
The question of bringing together the "two armies" has been at the centre of the peace process since the signing of the historical Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in November 2006. At the beginning of the process, in March 2007, 31,252 Maoist combatants registered in seven cantonments and 21 satellite camps. That number was reduced after the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) verification process ended in December 2007. A long stalemate ensued due to differences among the political parties, until finally in 2011, UNMIN's term ended, and the cantonments came under the supervision of the Special Committee. In November last year, the crucial all-party seven-point political agreement was signed. When the Army took over the cantonments in April and the second round of regrouping concluded, only around 3,000 combatants opted for integration with a total of 1,462 combatants eventually being integrated. But by the time the cantonments came under the Army's supervision tensions between the hardline faction of the Maoist party—led by Mohan Baidya—and the mainstream faction—led by Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal—had escalated. The former claimed the Army takeover was "surrender", after already having publicly denounced earlier moves by the Bahttarai-led government. The discontent over the process, among other ideological cracks, led to a party split and a new party, the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, was formed. Problems were further exasperated when former combatants accused the Maoist leadership of corruption and former commanders resigned. Clearly, the integration process was not without strife and complications. The disqualified and disgruntled combatants have been sent home, but apprehensions abound as to their futures.
Undoubtedly all parties made mistakes throughout the integration process. The Maoists failed to deal with the process with integrity at first, often being dishonest to their combatants and other parties. For the longest time, the Nepali Congress and Unified Marxist Leninist were dead against the idea of integration altogether. But as the Maoists began to realise that the PLA was slowly becoming a liability, and the non-Maoists saw no option but integration, the combined flexibility of all forces saw the process come to an end—albeit later than one would have preferred. In a final analysis, with only one national army, no longer do the Maoists have a military structure to call their own. In turn, non-Maoist forces will not be able to project the former as a civilian party with a force for coercion at its disposal. With what was, until recently, the most contentious issue in the peace process concluded, it is time for the parties to build consensus on the remaining.

The saddest part of Bruno's struggle is that the cancer was probably caused by a food-borne disease. He doesn't bemoan the fact, though, and shows tremendous courage through his struggle.

Russia ponders sports security lessons from Boston
MOSCOW Russian officials gave mixed signals Tuesday over whether they needed to increase security at key sporting events like the World Athletics Championship and the 2014 Winter Olympics after explosions at Boston's marathon killed three people and wounded over 170.
The track and field championship, which takes place in Moscow on Aug. 10-18, is seen as a dress rehearsal for the 2014 Olympic games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
One top sports official said security was being beefed up but others said Russia's take on Olympic security was already very robust.
Officials will speak with the organizers of the Boston marathon to find out what more security precautions are needed, Mikhail Butov, secretary general of the Russian Athletics Federation, said Tuesday.
"Our security measures are tough as they are," Butov told The Associated Press. "But when it's clear what actually happened (in Boston), we will draw our own conclusions."
Federation President Valentin Balakhnichev told the Interfax news agency that the Boston bombings on Monday revealed "problems" in ensuring security at outdoors events and expressed concern that it may inspire "other organizers of terrorist attacks."
Police and security services in Moscow are gearing to up for "all possible emergencies" even though the athletics championships will be held in a confined space indoors at the Luzhniki Stadium.
"Safety, safety and safety is our priority," Alexander Polinsky, the head of the events department at the Moscow City Hall, said according to Interfax.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko described the attack in Boston as "a grave signal."
"Naturally, we're beefing up security measures," Mutko said in remarks carried by the R-Sport news agency. He defended the tough security measures Russian officials put in place at sporting events despite complaints by some foreign officials and athletes who consider them excessive.
Alexander Zhukov, head of the Russian Olympic Committee, said there would be no need to enhance Sochi's security after the Boston bombing, saying that "security measures in Sochi are already quite serious."
The Interior Ministry said in a statement Tuesday it has fully deployed the police force that would be in place during the Sochi Olympics and has conducted regular checks of all Olympic venues to make sure they are fully protected.
The ministry said it has paid particular attention to monitoring laborers who have worked at the Olympic construction sites. It added that security regime in Sochi will be further tightened starting June 1, but didn't elaborate on details.
Security precautions in Sochi were high and visible at international test events in January and February. Some athletes were bemused by what they described as unprecedented security measures, including patrols of guards with assault rifles as well as constant credentials checks.
From the entrance to the cable car at the foot of the mountain to the slopes at the top, security guards and volunteers checked credentials every step of the way. During a single journey, it wasn't unusual for a badge to be meticulously scrutinized at least a dozen times. Guards with assault rifles and German shepherds patrolled the sports venues in groups, although they tried to keep a low profile.

The first weekend into a trip through New England, the pilot screw on one of my carbs vibrated its way loose and out. For a day or so, I had to reach down and cover the hole with a finger when I came to a stop, and try to regulate the idle circuit in the carb that way.
I ordered the screws from an internet cafe, but in the meantime...
...I fashioned this out of the tip of a mechanical pencil. The flow was adjustable by pushing in more or less of the stripped wire jammed through the middle, which was swiped from a leftover Christmas wreath at the conference center. (The cutie at the desk said she didn't mind.) She also gave me a few paperclips to hold it in:
It worked like a champ, for the next couple thousand miles. The screws had arrived, but I just had to know how long the fix would last...
Even better were the events of the very first day, as we were making our way through the Adirondacks. The ferrule on the lever end of my buddie's clutch cable popped off. Try as I might to finagle something, I rode ahead, defeated, and stopped at a farmhouse to use their yellow pages. The farmer crosses his yard, where I see he was working on his barbed wire fence. We chat. He reaches into his pocket, shows me a handful of fat fence-joining crimp connectors, and holds up the giant crimpers. Serendipity at its most beautiful. Somewhere, that clutch cable is still sporting that fence connector, and working better than new...

With Who We Are, Lifehouse singer-songwriter Jason Wade—along with drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist Bryce Soderberg—gets back to the basics of what made him first form the band while still a teenager in suburban California. With all their radio airplay, multi-platinum sales and awards, Lifehouse is still intent on raising the bar, which makes Who We Are a revelation both musically and lyrically.
"Since Bryce joined, this really has grown into a unit with its own personality and style," says Wade. "We established camaraderie on the road and gelled as a unit. This record defines 'Who We Are,' which is why that's the title. The sound fits where we're at right now."
Lifehouse gained considerable success with the release of their 2000 debut, No Name Face. Featuring "Hanging By A Moment," a #1 alternative hit which crossed over to become Top 40's Most Played Song, the album went multi-platinum and cemented their place in the music scene. Their self-titled 2005 album also went platinum and yielded "You and Me," a hit ballad that spent a record breaking 60 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Chart topping is an understatement for pop-rock band Lifehouse. Since their first album, Lifehouse has appeared on Billboard and Top 40 Charts numerous times. Best known for their top single "Hanging by a Moment," and ballad "You and Me," which spent a record 60 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart, Lifehouse has gone back to the basics with Who We Are. Jason Wade's lyrics address a diverse range of topics audiences can relate with and melodies they can rock to. Lifehouse's performance on Soundstage includes the aforementioned hits and Who We Are's twangy lead single "First Time."

Liberman: "We Need To Look At This Culture Of Violence"
Retiring Senator Joe Lieberman makes a few good points
(The Hill) Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called for a "national commission on violence," in the wake of Friday's shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"I'm always reluctant about commissions, but I really believe we ought to have a national commission on violence," said Lieberman, according to a White House pool report. "These events are happening more frequently and I worry that if we don't take a thoughtful look at them, we're going to lose the hurt and the anger that we have now."
Guns are the tools being used, but they are not the result. When people drive drunk and kill someone, we don't blame the alcohol or motor vehicle, we blame the person who got liquored up. When some Islamist straps on a bomb and goes out to blow himself up with a whole bunch of women and children, we don't blame the bombs and clothes, we blame the jihadi and that culture of violence (well, many liberals tend to blame Israel and the United States).
Lieberman suggested the commission should have a broad scope and not focus only on the nation's gun-control restrictions.
"That includes looking at violence in the entertainment culture, mental health services and, of course, gun laws," he said.
Let's look into that violence in the entertainment industry, chock full of liberals who wield and even glorify guns. Look at all the violent and popular shows. Person of Interest, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods, Bones, Dexter, Law and Order (on tons of times and with different spin offs), shows on prison, Gangland (one of my favorites), Burn Notice (also one of my favs), and so many others. Plus so many others in regular and syndication.
The top video games of the year include Assassins Creed 3, Halo 4, Dishonored, Ninja Gaiden 3, Max Payne 3, Binary Domain, Sleeping Dogs, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2, and Borderlands 2, among others.
Look at all the violence in the movies released this and every year.
Hey, look
Deyon Durham, 24, of 279 Faulkner St., was found shot to death at 1221 Montgomery St. shortly after 7 a.m., police said.
The initial investigation suggests that Durham was breaking and entering at the home when the homeowner, whose name was not released, shot him.
Durham had convictions, starting in 2005, for indecent liberties with a minor, sexual battery, breaking and entering vehicles, larceny and failure to register as a sex offender, according to state Division of Adult Correction records.
We should make sure that guns are taken away from law abiding citizens so criminals are never in danger.

My goodness 2015 has started and is already 6 days in as I write up this post.. might be 7 by the time the post goes live :P
Summer is here for us living down under. It's been so inconsistent but of course thats nothing new for us Melbournians.
As a hijabi people are shocked to hear me express my love for summer and all things hot weather. It makes sense though... people can not comprehend how I can see any advantages as a hijabi with the heat. Friends and colleagues alike question me all the time. I've always loved water and sunshine and also that my african skin can't handle the cold.
On the topic of heat one thing I've always managed is my ability to dress for the weather. I dislike layering and would avoid it where possible.
Here's an outfit worn on a really warm Melbourne summer day-
A light chiffon long sleeve dress with buttons down the front paired with my jeans.
Jeans aren't my go to bottoms but they were ok for the day.
-Outfit details-
Dress- Vintage from Lost & Found market
Jeans- Tribeca
Hijab- borrowed
Bag- Mocha
Shoes- Tony Bianco
Sun glasses- Witchery
Watch- Michael Kors
Next post- My trip to Perth... super excited for some time off from work for 2 weeks and just can't wait to be a beach bum for a few once.
Until Next time..
Take care
Trendy Melbourne xoxoxo

The Center for BrainHealth devotes significant research attention to traumatic brain injury (TBI). For good reason. TBI resulting from a car crash, fall, sports concussion, or similar head shock can turn normal life upside down in an irrevocable instant. Many brain injury survivors are unable to lead independent lives after their trauma. In fact, Centers for Disease Control reports estimate that five-and-a-half million Americans require daily assistance as a direct result of a TBI.Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of acquired long-term disability, with the highest rates occurring during adolescence, a period when important brain abilities are still in development.

Please tear this to pieces :)
Hi guys,
This is my first post on the site, so hello to all.
I've been furiously drawing for the past month and a half after realizing that I need a career change before I get old. I think I have improved a lot with the help of FZDschool's youtube channel, but it's difficult to critique your own work sometimes and friends are far too forgiving.
That's where you guys come in, be brutal
Most of the subject matter is derived from my Dungeons & Dragons campaign, it's great for working out the imagination.
I've selected an assortment of different material to show my full range of skills, hopefully this will help you guys nail down what my weaknesses are.

OOps, I made the images huge O_O
April 13th, 2013 #3
Ok so since I know you're familiar with feng ill speak his language. One of your weaknesses is that you're lacking the "cool" factor. This ultimately means that your designs aren't interesting and creative enough. Your plane looks like a plane, your beach looks like a beach, your musician looks like a musician, but not really ones that grab your attention and say "Awsome! I want to see that in real life!"
To improve in this area you need to start studying what design truly is, and then start pushing yourself to be more creative. In your head you see a beach but you need to begin telling yourself that the beach you see in your head is mediocre and you gotta find 10 more cooler ways to paint a beach. Make sense?

Thanks DanielBodinof,
I agree with the lack of cool thing, I have big cool images in my head, but when I try to get them down they always look very, VERY bad because I don't yet understand the fundamentals. This leads to all of my images being simplified and made up of very simple forms.
The biplane is not a design at all, but rather a study of how to draw simple forms correctly in 3D space. I just recently upgraded from cubes you see
I was trying some 3D desiging a little while ago but it looks a little skewiff. so I toned it back to simple shapes again to build my skills more carefully.
I'm not sure if it's 'cool', but it's a design. I drew it after watching an FZD episode about a t-rex science vessel, feng said that he just took a jeep and a t-rex and mashed them together to come up with a design, so I took a grasshopper and a glider and stuck them together. The resulting vessel is highly impractical indeed.
I'll take the cool factor on board and look forward to focusing much more on the actual design phase.
excellent advice, thanks.
April 14th, 2013 #5
I hear ya, and its good to hear you say you're focusing on fundamentals because that is key. Keep in mind that even with the most basic fundamentals, achieving cool factor is possible. Lets take your recent post of your science grasshopper vehicle. What you have is "ok". Its getting closer to cool, but what we want is "knock your socks off badass!" how do we achieve that? What I like to do is think about a grasshopper and a glider and ask myself, " What is the cool thing about a grasshopper?" "A glider?" and then you exaggerate that. what you've done here, is cleverly enough combined the 2 elements into 1, and the very nature of this makes it kinda interesting. But currently nothing is standing out. its not grasshoppery enough, or glidery enough. When i picture or study a grasshopper:
i notice that rearmost legs are quite visibly larger and vertically visible...its the thing that makes it a grasshopper...
Now in your design, the place where you could have really had fun and pushed it, was with those back legs, but you pulled back, and they're below the body, and not a showpiece...it's losing the essence of the bad ass grasshopper. Once again, since you enjoy fengs vids, You'll notice that a very common mistake alot of young designers and painters make, is they don't make the "selling point" physically and visually big enough on the canvas. Exaggerate, begin to identify the essence of things, feature them and exaggerate them and you'll get closer to hitting that "cool factor" mark.
-start a revolution.

Thanks DanielBodinof,
It's something that I've always sort of known, but it has never really clicked. From now on when I start a picture, I'll first decide on a selling point and try to base everything else around that aspect. It just makes sense.
April 15th, 2013 #7
I think you are mostly imitating the look of the art you like, but are not giving enough thought to the method it is made with.
Virtually everything could be improved here. Practice the drawing fundamentals more.

Hi arenhaus,
I can assure you that I'm giving heaps of thought to the methods... I'm just not good at them yet :p
Unfortunately you are very right though, I don't have anything specific that I should work on, just every fundamental drawing principle.
It just goes to show, learning a difficult skill is a marathon, not a sprint.
April 17th, 2013 #9
Okay I definitely like the vehicle design stuff you're doing in the FZD school style; seems like a great way to practice technical design.
I do agree that you should work on the "coolness" factor just by playing with design, and scale is one thing you can play with. For example a statue could be normal-size and be well rendered and still be dull, but show that the statue is god-size compared to a crowd of people and it becomes way cooler by default.
Also just keep doing studies of things like figure gestures, anatomy, flesh tones, etc. Remember though, values are more important than color, so focus on black and white studies until you get values down.
Hope that helped a little!

Thanks jeremygordon89,
I do a lot of stuff that I see on FZD school, I'm trying to get a free art degree haha.
My girlfriend just bought me an excellent anatomy book, I'll go back to basics for a while and do some studies.
I've been trying to think cooler, even if it means just throwing on bells and whistles until I need to tone it back.
I think I have some problems showing off scale, I don't even know how to start working on it though, probably just try and draw things of vast scale next to things of normal scale... it sounds so simple, but my drawings often end up looking flat. Maybe I need to work on volumetric fog.

You walk into a place and someone takes a Polaroid of you. You write down your name, your Instagram handle, and your hidden talent down on a card. Then you pick an envelope out of a drawer and inside it is a Polaroid of a stranger along with the same card you filled out, but with their information. Polaroid in hand, you head to an art table fully stocked with everything you could needmarkers, pencils, crayons, scissorsand you start drawing the stranger. When you finish up, your art and the polaroid are displayed together on a wall amongst dozens of other portraits. Eventually, you will come back and see that someone else has drawn you and placed your potrtait in the gallery.
This was the basis of "Strangers Drawing Strangers," an interactive art installation held by Airbnb and Ivan Cash. The idea sprung from another project by Cash called "Selfless Portraits", in which he invites strangers from around the world to draw each others facebook profile pictures and exchange them online.
In the video you see art ranging from childish drawings in crayon (drawn by an actual toddler) to beautifully detailed illustrations by practiced artists. I love the ones that added extra flourishes to their portraits, little details that werent in the polaroid such as putting the person in a funny pose or adding in a prop (like the guy with the microphone). If youve ever been to a big film festival you know how hectic the schedule is, with non-stop screenings and events being held at the same time across many locations. The fact that the event took place at this years Sundance Film Festival gives a special connotation to the portraits because it adds the implication that a stranger paused what they were doing, possibly re-arranged their schedule a bit, just so they could take the time to draw you.See More »

Usually sequels arent as good as the first, but thats SO not the case here. I wrote a post about Aug(de)mented Reality a few months ago and now its back with a vengeance. I cant imagine what people think Marty Cooper (or Hombre_McSteez as he goes by online) is doing when they see him sitting in front of a stop sign, completely concentrated on it and holding up transparency sheets every so often. Its so cool to see artists making doodles on the spot when inspiration from their surroundings hits them!
This is a compilation of animations he posted on instagram, so follow @Hombre_McSteez to keep up with his newest stuff.

Quick, to the Doodlemobile! It all started when Allison improvised a creative way to cover up some scratches on her boyfriend's car, which he didnt mind because he was making plans to repaint it anyway. She got a little carried away and kept doodling beyond the scratches, until she had sharpied the entire bumper in one night. Needless to say, the repainting plans got trashed and the car became Allison's new canvas. About 100 hours of frenzied doodling later, they now have the most eye-catching car Ive seen in a long time.
Bonus! Click after the fold to see a time-lapse video of Allison at work, including funny peeks at what she does during her breaks from doodling.

What can you do in 15 seconds? Rachel Ryle is able to create miniature stop motion masterpieces that are so dainty and so irresistible. I watched and re-watched, and like a magic act, I'm dying to know how she pulls this off, but at the same time just enjoy relishing in the wonder and gaiety of her art. She's able to articulate the joy in life's simple pleasures, from warm fall cider to traveling to bubble gum, in the most delicate, painstakingly-detailed and creative way.

The sketchbooks that immediately catch my attention are the ones that are brimming with color. There is something scintillating about seeing so many colors confined to such a small space. It feels like bottled rampage even if the subjects in the pages are meek.
Each of the pages of Valerie Choi's recent sketchbook is crammed with characters piled atop of each other as burst of color overtakes them. It makes me feel as if the pages will break apart and the colors and caricatures will spill over onto her desk like water does when it can no longer be contained.
Valarie has documented her sketchbook in progress in this short video, which you won't want to miss.See More »

Aug(De)Mented Reality is a fresh video that's recently been getting passed along the internet, and for hella good reasons. Hombre_McSteez combines traditional cell animation with still photography from his iPhone into one of the most captivating videos I've seen lately. It's always super cool to see 2D drawings roaming the 3D world, but seeing the real objects and landscapes responding to being played around with is what really makes this video come alive. We couldn't resist sharing something this perfectly executed.

I got introduced to Helen Cann's work via twitter the other day and was immediately side-tracked by her crazy detailed hand-drawn city map of Brighton (see above). It gets better, visit the map on her site and it comes complete with rollovers from both a local and personal history of all the nooks and crannies in the town's streets and avenues.
Also as immersive (and impressive) is the drawn map she did of the history of coffee houses that began in Exchange Alley (London), starting in 1652. Once again, you can rollover most anything on the map for detailed captions that are sometimes informative and sometimes quirky.
Helen's work is a beautiful nod to the analog world, as it's "...entirely hand produced, mainly in watercolour, coloured pencil, graphite and collage." I'm especially in love with this time-lapse video of her painting up Youthtopia.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Motorsims was formed in the Summer of 1997 in Las Colinas, Texas, with a specific focus on creating computer simulations for the motorsport enthusiast. Its best known of the NHRA Drag Racing series of games. Founded by Bob McCarthy, Motorsims' strategy was to sign long-term exclusive contracts and develop properties based on sanctioned racing events. These eventually included AMA Pro Racing (American Motorcyclist Association) and NHRA (National Hot Rod Association). Motorsims was re-branded Moto1.net in mid-2000. This coincided with motorsports news website and a focus on browser based multiplayer game matchups in a move to increase investor interest in the expanding company. Unfortunately this occured at the end of the "dot-com bubble" and within a year the web-magazine was shutdown. The success of the NHRA franchise and sales of promotional games largely pushed the company for the next two years. By mid-2002, while in development of the next NHRA game, the company began bouncing paychecks. In early October 2002 due to ongoing financial problems the remaining unpaid employees walked out and didn't return. Within a few months one of the Motorsims investors, in a legally controversial move, took ownership of the NHRA source code and opened a new studio. eMotorsports was located in the old Gathering of Developers church and picked up a couple of ex-Motorsims employees. They completed and shipped NHRA Drag Racing: Top Fuel Thunder in December of 2003 with most of the original Motorsims team uncredited. eMotorsports ceased operations in 2004.

Engagement 101 Announces the Top 8 Best Wedding Rings of 2012
Eight of the best engagement rings and wedding bands of the year were chosen by couples about to get engaged or married for Engagement 101's second annual Bridal Jewelry Awards. Thousands of men and women visited YourEngagement101.com to cast their vote for their favorite "ring of the year" in eight unique categories. It has to be noted that 3 winners out of 8 won with bi-color wedding rings. Also, all but one of the winning engagement rings featured a square cut center stone instead of a classic round.
Engagement 101's second annual Bridal Jewelry Awards began with hundreds of submissions from distinguished jewelry designers from around the world. After a rigorous nomination process that whittled the submissions to just 48, the selections were then divided into eight categories of popular ring trends. Voters had a month to vote for their favorite rings. The winners are:
Best Classic Engagement Ring 2012
WINNER: Leo Ingwer
Best Fancy Engagement Ring 2012
WINNER: Sylvie Collection
Best Women's Wedding Band 2012
WINNER: Omi Prive
Best Men's Wedding Band 2012

WINNER: Vanna K
Best Vintage Engagement Ring 2012
WINNER: Coast Diamond
Best Modern Engagement Ring 2012
WINNER: Barkev's
Best Floral Engagement Ring 2012
WINNER: Kirk Kara
Nominations for the 2012 Bridal Jewelry Awards were made possible by the Jewelry Awards committee who had the hard task of narrowing down hundreds of selections to just eight per category. Jurors in the committee included celebrity style expert Michael O'Connor, Ron Samuelson of Samuelson's Diamonds, Jim DeNatale of DeNatale Jewelers, Andy Koehn of Koehn & Koehn, John Walp of Long Jewelers, and Gail Friedman of Sarah Leonard Fine Jewelers. The event was sponsored by The Dessy Group.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Garfish can be pursuated to take larger flies like this Copper Shrimp, but really small, bright flies size 10-14 are the right choice for these large eyed hunters. The problem is one of hooking. The fish will see and strike the larger fly, but the hook will rarely penetrate the hard mouth. Smaller flies have a greater chance of sticking once they have a grip.
From: David Mills · stumpeng·at·hotmail.com Link
Submitted February 27th 2007
This photo explains why I've never landed a garfish! I used to hook the larger ones in the sea of Cortez, in Baja (30+ inches)... had a great fight until they all bit off, but never landed one, since they would never hit even the lightest wire leader. The acrobatics of the fish made it all seem worthwhile ,though, with most of it out of the water!

I am attempting to install Ubuntu on my primary desktop (a former gaming PC) which is equipped with a SapphireTech HD6870 (AMD). As soon as I boot into the installation process or when I simply boot into the Live CD mode (installing it from a USB stick), my GPU fan will spin up to 100%.
When I simply hard reboot the PC, the fan spins right down so it does not really seem to be a temperature issue, further confirmed by the fact the fan behaves just fine when booted into Windows. The temperature of the GPU is also as it has always been, so it is not a dust build-up issue.
Is there any way I can avoid having the fan spin up to 100% while installing? I have no guarantee it will start behaving normally after installation and I'd rather avoid wasting the installation by having an unuseable situation (100% on a SapphireTech HD6870 is quite loud).
