Coleen Chan - "Never forget who helped and supported you on your road to success"
Recalling the angst that was a constant during my own high school years, I definitely find the life path and accomplishments of Coleen Chan very impressive!
Since moving here from Beijing with her mom just two-and-a-half years ago, this lovely 17-year old has compiled an impressive resume, and is right on track to keep delivering more of the same.
Coleen was recently recognized as 2012 Martin County Boys & Girls Club's Youth of the Year. She was presented with a plaque and a $1,000 scholarship and will compete with winners from 42 other counties for Youth of the Year honors.
She started volunteering at the Hobe Sound club as part of her South Fork High School IB requirement, but soon fell in love with it and the young children with whom she works. Coleen was surprised to discover this passion within herself, and says the joy of being hugged by those little ones is something she can't find anyplace else.
She also helps the teens who come to the club with homework, and, as a member of the junior staff program, accompanies them on community service projects.
It's been such an enlightening experience that Coleen now hopes to pursue a dual major in college: fine arts at Rhode Island School of Design combined with child development or child pychology at Brown University.
In addition to her work with children, Coleen helps run Treasure Coast Food Bank's mobile food pantry that visits the club twice a month.
This versatile young lady has taken piano lessons since she was four-years old, and paints with Georgia Abood at Georgia's Alizarin Crimson Art Studio in Stuart.
And, although her focus at school is on academics, Coleen is on the South Fork Swim Club and played lacrosse last year.
She participated in a "recycled" fashion show at Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast, contributing an original design.
Coleen was born in Guam and she and her mom moved to Hobe Sound to take advantage of the educational opportunities that the United States offered. They knew just one person - a friend of her mom's who spent part of the year in Florida.
Since then, she's made a positive impression on everyone who has met her, simultaneously balancing her confidence with a disarming air of modesty.
Coleen says she hopes to be successful in the future, and vows to never forget the positive influence the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County has had in her life. As she says so eloquently, "Never forget who helped and supported you in your success."

in2eternity - Thank you! I agree; I tend to avoid color because it's one of my weaknesses, which is exactly why I should focus on it more. Thank you for the helpful feedback!
This is as far as I got with my Sawsbuck COW pokemon redesign. I don't really care for the design anymore, but I figure I should continue with it for the practice (since I have little experience with either animals or plants).

Black Spot - Thanks!
Here are some antler thumbs I did for the Sawsbuck design that I forgot to post before.
These are compositional thumbs for a Terra fanart piece I was thinking of doing. I really wanted to have her riding the Magitek armor suit but still have the character visible, so I was trying out various vintage pin-up poses. 17 and 24 are my faves I think.
And these are thumbs for a Godzilla t-shirt design I was toying around with.
I made a vector version of the first one.

You did a great job in capturing the fluffiness of the sheep!
Did you use custom brushes for the fuzzy edges?
And how much time did you spend on the drawing?
Anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

This prison was built in the 19th century to house runaway slaves and slaves who survived the wreck of the Trouvadore in 1841. After the slaves were granted freedom, the prison housed criminals and even modern-day drug runners until it closed in the 1990s. The last hanging here was in 1960. Now you can see the cells, solitary-confinement area, and exercise patio. The prison is open only when there is a cruise ship at the port.

The DayZ alpha has reached another milestone: it has sold 1 million copies within four weeks of being released on Steam Early Access.
What does creator Dean Hall have to say about that? "So much for the death of PC gaming." Quite!
"This gives me mandate now to make all the crazy games I ever wanted," added Hall on Twitter, once again confirming that the current sales tally is "way, way beyond" what the studio expected.
Owners of the alpha version shouldn't be expecting it to reach beta anytime soon, however; Bohemia Interactive says it's unlikely we'll see a DayZ beta in 2014.
DayZ is currently the top-selling game on Steam, and has regularly held the spot since its release on Valve's digital store.

'Who Dat' Bandits strike again
Published: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 11:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 11:55 a.m.
The "Who Dat Bandits" struck again Sunday night.
When I arose very early Monday morning, I was greeted with a toilet papered truck and a note of jubilance with the New Orleans Saints winning Super Bowl XLIV.
Unlike the last time the bandits struck, mine wasn't the only vehicle wearing symbols of Sunday's victory.
It is time to celebrate.
Who cares that LSU had another highly-touted recruiting class?
Who cares that New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul, unfortunately, has to miss a month with a knee injury?
Who cares that the LSU and Nicholls basketball teams are struggling in conference play?
The Saints won the Super Bowl. Everyone gets a free pass this year.
The year 2010 should be called the year of the free pass.
No matter what our other favorite sports teams accomplish or don't, it doesn't matter. The Saints won the Super Bowl.
If you read my prediction, I spoke of the Saints having a decided advantage over the Colts in special teams.
Quite frankly, special teams won the game for the Saints.
Yes, the onside kick to start the third quarter was the momentum changer the Saints needed, but throughout the game, special teams made huge plays.
Place-kicker Garrett Hartley's clutch field goal kicking kept the Saints in the game and the pressure on the Colts.
Punter Thomas Morstead pinned Indianapolis back at crucial times.
Also, the coverage units, led by Courtney Roby, were spot on not giving the Colts anything significant in the return game.
I predicted that Reggie Bush would break a return. While that didn't happen, he didn't muff a punt return, which was key.
As far as the onside kick, Saints coach Sean Payton worked to give his team an edge. He found what he was looking for within the Colts kickoff return team.
I'm sure a lot of coaches would've found the same flaw on film. Here is what you have to ask. How many coaches would actually go for it to start the second half trailing 10-6?
Reading some of the articles leading into and after the Super Bowl, numerous stories featured the quote that Payton "gets it."
Well, I finally get it.
I have criticized Payton for being very aggressive in his playing calling.
Other than Hank Stram, most of the past Saints coaches have played the percentages. Playing the percentages hasn't won the Saints many games and zero Super Bowls.
Payton throws out the percentages and calls a game with the intention of winning. In other words, he is not afraid to lose.
Payton puts the outcome into the hands of his players, and by instilling that confidence, he has a Lombardi Trophy on his resume. He will try or consider any means necessary when it comes to winning a game.
While the Saints are poised to be a Super Bowl contender in the coming years, like the "Who Dat Bandits," they get a free pass no matter what the future brings.
The Saints won the Super Bowl. Who Dat.

Uni, or "College" and Soul Calibur
By fraser 4 Comments
So i'm back at Uni for my second year. Just moved into a new flat which is in an awesome old building and i have a MASSIVE room, i'll upload some pictures later on.
Only problem is i don't have an internet connection, i'm currently leaching off someone elses in the building (yus!) but i get the feeling that's gonna get stopped pretty soon, and i kinda need a faster one. SO this could be the last blog in a while, or last anything for that matter!
And Soul Calibur 4. I really can't tell if i'm enjoying this or not. I am some of the time, but then it feels like i'm just ploughing through a test. And meeting the Apprentice in arcade is just fucking lame, so very very lame. How's everyone else finding it?

Stevie Lowery, you should be ashamed of yourself. When you first became editor of the paper I was proud of you for accomplishing this at such a young age. This is the first time I have thought that maybe you were not experienced enough because I think the editorial in last weeks issue was the most childish article I have read.
You say that Kenny (Marrett) was personally attacking Chris (Hamilton). Excuse me, but are you not doing the same to him?
This letter is being written in regards to the last editorial. I found the statements to be very one-sided, opinionated, and simply slanderous. I felt compelled to write this letter for one simple reason, I felt as though the blasphemy was much more than what I believe the community needed or wanted to read.
I grew up in Lebanon and I still read the paper every week. I am not usually an outspoken person, but after reading the editorial in last week's issue, I had to respond. Stevie Lowery is entitled to her opinion, just as everyone is, but since I don't have a page in the weekly paper dedicated to my opinion, this is the only option I have, so this is how WE see it.
My most sincere apology to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bell for not recognizing either at the recent Black History Program. Both are long time, most supportive members, of the Marion County Branch NAACP. Both serve on the Executive Board.
This oversight should be attributed to the mind and certainly not the heart.
Jerry Evans
NAACP Branch President
In my experience with individual people, businesses and organizations, I have found that those who "have nothing to hide, hide nothing." This past week, I have attempted to get more facts and figures from the Postal Service regarding the situation that will affect our postal routes in St. Francis and Loretto.
I was surprised that last week's extensive article on health and fitness through Zumba failed to give any information on our locally owned and operated Lebanon Health and Fitness center on Main Street. Open 24 hours, it features a certified trainer in-house, weight training equipment, kick-boxing, an aerobics class and the popular Silver Sneakers program. Silver Sneakers is a nationally recognized fitness program for seniors. It is so popular and effective that many insurance companies sponsor membership because of its preventative aspects.
The Community Service Center Board Members would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to anyone who donated food items or money to help others in need.
I just finished reading Homegrown and Memory Closet. How many of you remember Ninie Sooter Glasscock who is now Ninie Hammon? She used to write for our own Lebanon Enterprise and other local papers. She lives in London, England, now and has written several books. I really enjoyed these two books. They are both about things that really happened around here, and if you lived here during the 80's you will recognize the specific events.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express my gratitude to the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission for purchasing the "Snowflakes" for downtown as part of our decorations for the Christmas season.
I have personally received many positive comments concerning the added beauty to our lighted garland and peace banners.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 8/3/12
GREEN BAY, Wis. As the punter for the NFL's highest-scoring team, Tim Masthay doesn't get on the field very often. But when he does, the 25-year-old is very effective. With Masthay set to become a restricted free agent after this season, the Green Bay Packers and their third-year punter have agreed to a four-year, 5.465 million contract extension, according to multiple reports. Masthay punted only 55 times last season, and 27 other NFL punters were used more. In fact, Masthay had 50 fewer attempts than the league's busiest punter last season, St. Louis' Donnie Jones. After going undrafted out of Kentucky in 2009, Masthay started his career with the Indianapolis Colts but was waived soon after. Once in Green Bay, Masthay beat out Chris Bryan during 2010 training camp and has since solidified a position that had been cycling through a new starter on an almost annual basis. Jon Ryan punted in Green Bay in 2006 and '07, Derrick Frost took 75 percent of the punts in 2008, and Jeremy...

Dedicated Gnome desktops with Pessulus and Sabayon
Gnome version 2.14 includes new features for restricting the user's access to the system. The Pessulus lockdown editor and the Sabayon profile editor help manage the Gnome user experience.
KDE's kiosk mode helps admins restrict the use of publicly accessible desktop PCs to a browser or a dedicated GUI-based terminal application. In this scenario, the user is limited to the command line or a small set of applications. The Pessulus [1] lockdown editor and the Sabayon [2] profile editor provide similar benefits for the Gnome environment. GConf Since version 2.0, Gnome has stored desktop settings in XML files managed by the GConf system. When launched, Gnome first parses the system configuration defaults, which typically reside in /etc/gconf, although Suse uses /etc/opt/gnome/gconf. Gnome then adds the files stored in the .gconf directory below the user's home directory. User preferences have priority over system defaults.

Apple Spotlight Turns to Notebooks: iPhone Left in the Dark
No love from Apple for the iPhone today, despite glass trackpads, with multi-touch being introduced into the MacBook line. We have a transcript of our full meta-live blog coverage available now if you want the details, but the broad strokes are all in aluminum and black. The long-standing rumors mostly came true, with design unified around the current iMac model -- with a gorgeous new 24" Cinema Display being a near kissing-cousin to last year's desktop rev.
15" MacBook Pro and MacBook's available now-ish. Air's to follow soon (November?). Rumor has it there are issues with the 17", so we may only see those later.
Check out the MacBook Video, featuring the now legendary Jonathan Ive, at Apple for more.
But with the lines being blurred in every sense, if you're in the market for a new Apple laptop, it's gotten really hard to choose. No worries, though. Apple's got you covered. Head on over and see which MacBook you are -- and what your iPhone might just be syncing itself with next!
(And let's hope Apple turns back to the iPhone in time for its quarterly conference call coming later this month, b'okay Steve?)

Did you know the Vatican is the smallest nation-state in the world? Get all the facts and figures.
Clarence Darrow calls an unexpected witness.
Theoretical Physicist Lawrence Krauss explains the different types of nothing. Or something.
Krauss' latest book is "A Universe from Nothing".
When you think about nothing you have to be a little more careful than you normally are because, in fact, nothing is a physical concept because it's the absence of something, and something is a physical concept. And what we've learned over the last hundred years is that nothing is much more complicated than we would've imagined otherwise.
For example, the simplest kind of nothing is the kind of nothing of the Bible. Say an infinite empty space, an infinite dark void of the Bible. You know, nothing in it, no particles, no radiation, nothing. Well, that kind of nothing turns out to be full of stuff in a way or at least much more complicated than you might have imagined because due to the laws of quantum mechanics and relativity, we now know that empty space is a boiling bubbling brew of virtual particles that are popping in and out of existence at every moment.
And in fact, for that kind of nothing, if you wait long enough, you're guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics to produce something. So the difference between empty space with stuff in it and empty space with nothing in it is not that great anymore. In fact, they're different versions of the same thing. So the transition from nothing to something is not so surprising. Now you might say well that's not good enough because you have space. Where did the space come from? Well, a more demanding definition of nothing is no space, but, in fact, once you apply the laws of quantum mechanics to gravity itself, then space itself becomes a quantum mechanical variable and fluctuates in and out of existence and you can literally, by the laws of quantum mechanics, create universes.
Create spaces and times, where there was no space and time before. So now you got no particles, no radiation, no space, no time, that sounds like nothing. But then you might say, well, you know what, you got the laws of physics. You got the laws of nature. The laws themselves are somehow something; although, I would argue in fact that that is not at all obvious or clear or necessary. But even there, it turns out physics potentially has an answer because we now have good reason to believe that even the laws of physics themselves are kind of arbitrary.
There may be an infinite number of universes, and in each universe that's been created, the laws of physics are different. It's completely random. And the laws themselves come into existence when the universe comes into existence. So there's no pre-existing fundamental law. Anything that can happen, does happen. And therefore, you got no laws, no space, no time, no particles, no radiation. That's a pretty good definition of nothing.
A secret recording was leaked to the press this Thursday revealing a conversation between a San Antonio Texas GOP councilwoman and her staff — in which the discussion deteriorated into a chorus of harsh anti-gay rhetoric.
James Stevens, who is an aide to San Antonio District 9 Council Woman Elisa Chan, leaked the audio to the San Antonio Express-News, which he secretly recorded during a May 21 meeting in Chan's office to discuss an approaching non-discrimination ordinance.
However, the nearly 16-minute audio reveals a discussion where staffers compare homosexuality to incest and pedophila, with Chan stating her opinion that gays are "disgusting to even think about." In addition to her revulsion towards the LGBT community, Chan can be heard saying that she believes being gay is a choice and that gay people should not adopt children.

Banister is due to face a charge of "contaminating or interfering with goods" over allegations she stuck a sticker which read "Beware!

Can you be a good Skeptic and believe in God?
"What you're about to see now may never appear in a news story, because once people have surrendered absolutely to evil they never allow cameras to record their dark rituals."

|Mild onion
|1 Small, finely chopped
|To Taste
|To Taste
Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for about 7 minutes.
Drain well.
When the potatoes are quite cold, peel them and grate them coarsely into a bowl.
Heat 15 g (1/2 oz) of the butter in a large frying pan.
Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it is soft.
Stir the onion into the grated potato and season to taste.
Melt the remaining butter in the frying pan.
Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in a cup.
Add the potato mixture to the pan and form it into a neat cake.
Cook gently for about 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally so that the rosti cake does not stick, until the underside of the cake is a crusty golden-brown.
To cook the top of the rosti, pour over the reserved melted butter and either place the frying pan under a preheated grill to brown or turn the rosti over in the pan and brown.
To serve invert the rosti cake on a warmed flat dish and cut it into wedges.

In the 2013 Route des Princes, Lisbon will be in full scale festival mode when fleet is in town over the next few days with tens of thousands of locals and visitors taking to the streets for the Popular Saints Festival and in particular the Feast of Saint Anthony. On the steep terraces, in the historic narrow streets and along the many steps 'caldo verde' soup and sardines are offered in pop up restaurants and stalls set under swathes of bright decorations accompanied by the sound of arraial folk music. As the patron saint of weddings many couples and hopeful brides celebrate with the whole of the city given over to partying, dancing and eating and passing gifts of sweet basil. Fortune readers are part and parcel of Lisbon's big festival. Their skills might have been called on today by some of the MOD70 and Multi 50 crews trying to find out what will happen to the breeze between Gibraltar and the finish line in Lisbon – especially on the stage to Cape Saint Vincent, but Sébastien Josse, skipper of Edmond de Rothschild appeared to think the future belongs to Oman Air-Musandam. With a lead which remained relatively steady around 20 miles today, Josse stated that he thinks that Sidney Gavignet's crew might be uncatchable. 'Oman are not really catchable. But up to Spindrift is open, but at the same time we need to keep Virbac behind us in third place' Josse said today. With some 230 miles to sail for Oman Air-Musandan at mid-afternoon today, the winner might be expected in Lisbon during Wednesday afternoon depending on how the wind holds up tonight on the Bay of Cadiz. An upwind leg into a N'ly wind is expected as the fleet climbs the Portuguese coast towards Lisbon tomorrow. Gavignet's team had lost a few small miles to Spindrift late this afternoon as they slowed slightly, getting into the more gentle breezes off the Bay of Cadiz, but the 'accordion effect' should favour whoever reaches the corner of Portugal first where winds should be fresher. The gap from second placed Spindrift back to Edmond de Rothschild had grown to some 52 miles, as the chasing duo have had slightly less wind through the earlier part of the day. Most of the crews of the MOD70's who spoke on the live radio call this morning affirmed that the shape of this leg was really set on Sunday night at the Benicarlo mark and down to Cabo de La Nao just south of departure city Valencia. Crew from both Edmond de Rothschild and Virbac Paprec 70 reported how Spindrift had spirited themselves away in one private puff of breeze when they were only 100 metres from them and they have no real tactical opportunities since then. 'That explains the differences between us and Oman which stayed offshore. At the coast, nearer the land it was very random. Spindrift managed to find one puff and escaped and we were still stuck.' Josse reported, ' But that is the game, there is always a reason for success and this time we were not part of it. So we need to remain patient and deal with what we have. With our deficit we have a bit less wind and the current is against us. Tonight we expect only light winds from the NW which will get stronger as we approach Cape St Vincent.' The match race for the leadership of the Multi50 class continues apace. Lalou Roucayrol's Arkéma - Region Aquitaine and second placed Actual of Yves Le Blevec are not so much racing in sight of each other as nearly on top of one another. Roucayrol's team were just over half a mile ahead of Le Blevec's after leading past Tarifa 75 minutes after Oman Air Musandam. Gavignet and crew also won the two Gibraltar bonus points, adding to the two they earned Sunday night at Benicarlo. Mayeul Riffet from Arkema – Acquitaine said today: 'We are tacking all the time and the goal is not to lose too much speed in the manoeuvres. Sometimes that works. Since yesterday we have been in visual contact together. We managed to get into the lead yesterday taking a more offshore option and we got a little more wind. We have been working hard with a lot of stacking. We are going to make the whole course upwind.' Meantime Prince de Bretagne, Lionel Lemonchois' 80 footer has been enjoying some close racing with Spindrift though had extended away this afternoon and was some 12 miles to leeward of Oman Air Musandam which was 120 miles downwind of Cape St Vincent. Passage times at Gibraltar Oman Air Musandam at 9h15 UTC Arkema – Région Aquitaine at 10h30 Actual at 10h45 Spindrift at 11h15 Maxi 80 Prince de Bretagne at 11h25 Rankings at 1500hrs UTC Multi 50 1. Arkéma - Region Aquitaine, Lalou Roucayrol, 232.39 miles to finish 2. Actual, Yves Le Blevec at + 0.70 miles to leader 3. FenêtréA - Cardinal, Erwan Le Roux at + 19.02 miles to leader MOD70 1. Oman Air - Musandam, Sidney Gavignet, +212.19 miles to finish 2. Spindrift, Yann Guichard + 16.12 miles to leader 3. Edmond de Rothschild, Sébastien Josse at +68.77 miles to leader 4. Virbac - Paprec 70, Jean-Pierre Dick at +77.32 miles Ultime 1. Maxi 80 Prince de Bretagne, Lionel Lemonchois, +228.14 miles to finish Erwan Tabarly (Spindrift) 'We are manoeuvring all the time and so have the crew on deck. There is a little traffic right now but it is north of us in the DST, you are not allowed to go in there. Until this morning we were in regular watches but the last couple of hours everyone has been involved. We reduced sail to pass the Strait and have been tacking regularly. We have been with Prince de Bretagne since last night and is cool to race with them. For me it is the first time I have passed Gibraltar in a race. The Figaro rarely goes this way and so I am enjoying it.' Sébastien Josse (Edmond de Rothschild) 'Well we expected a Mediterranean stage and we have got one good and proper. The differences we see just now were really established on the first night when we approached Cabo de la Nau. That's a bit frustrating because we were in the game and ahead of the fleet. But along with Spindrift, Virbac Paprec we decided to stay close to the coast. There, there is a DST (traffic separation scheme) to comply with like Gibraltar. That explains the differences between us and Oman which stayed offshore. At the coast, nearer the land it was very random. Spindrift managed to find one puff and escaped and we were still stuck. But that is the game, there is always a reason for success and this time we were not part of it. So we need to remain patient and deal with what we have. With our deficit we have a bit less wind and the current is against us. Tonight we expect only light winds from the NW which will get stronger as we approach Cape St Vincent. It is still close and it is not over yet because from Cape St Vincent it will be upwind into the N'ly. After the first night when we were all working on deck a lot the crew was very tired but last night we were able to recharge our batteries a bit and so we can be fit for this next bit at 100%. We need to be on our game, focused and ready for anything that we might not see on the files. Oman are not really catchable. But to Spindrift it is all open, but at the same time we need to keep Virbac behind us in third place.' Mayeul Riffet (Arkema – Région Acquitaine) 'There is lots going on. Tomi our Italian is in the kitchen making pasta. Lalou is on the helm and Quentin our nipper is listening here with me. We are tacking all the time and the goal is not to lose too much speed in the manoeuvres. Sometimes that works. Since yesterday we have been in visual contact together. We managed to get into the lead yesterday taking a more offshore option and we got a little more wind. We have been working hard, a lot of stacking. We have not slept much but that's not what we are out here for. We had 25kts of wind and then it dropped away. Here we are getting out of the Straits with about 15kts and it is from the NW. We are going to make the whole course upwind. I have never seen the Med like this, we have taken two days to get to Gibraltar. Roland 'Bilou' Jourdain (Virbac-Paprec 70) 'From the point of view of the weather it's been great because sometimes the Alboran Sea may be harder. We had a nice night but in terms of the ranking it could have been better! Edmond de Rothschild is not too far from us and so we can keep pushing. This is the Mediterranean at its best! There has not been much in terms of tactics and strategy. There was the game to the first buoy, Oman did well to sneak away to the east and we ended up with three boats near the land, we managed to get out of the light winds there with Spindrift and then when they were less than 100 metres away they were able to escape from us. That really is a truly Mediterranean scenario! It is the way it goes but sometimes it's annoying. Now, we have a wind of about 10 knots, the Strait of Gibraltar is getting closes, the sea is calm.'

Mosque community centre plan unveiled
Posted: January 30, 2009|
CONTROVERSY: Artist's impression of the new Mosque.
MUSLIM leaders have submitted plans for a community centre next to their controversial mosque.
Building work is close to completion on the £1.5 million building, in Regent Road, Hanley.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council officials angered some residents when they agreed to lease the site to the Muslim community for a peppercorn rent of just £1 a year, even though experts valued the site as worth up to £1 million.
The fact that the plans included a community centre to benefit all residents, as well as a mosque for Muslim worship was the main reason the council gave for allowing the deal to go ahead.
But some councillors and residents had expressed concerns the community centre would never materialise once the mosque was built.
In that case the deal allowed the council to terminate the lease or sell the land for £72,000 if there is no community centre by 2011.
Now that plans for the community centre have been submitted for planning approval, project leaders hope controversy will die down and the community can look forward to using the new facilities.
Rana Tufail, director of the Islamic Centre and co-ordinator of the Regent Road development, said: "We have discussed these plans with the council and are taking it step by step.
"First we need to get planning permission then start looking for funding for the building work.
"Donations have slowed due to the credit crunch, but we are convinced we will get it built within the five-year limit.
"The community centre will be designed for everyone in the community and we will be encouraging people to come and use it. We want it to be a multi-cultural environment.
"The mosque will also be available for school visits and anyone is welcome to come in and see what Muslim worship is about.
"At the moment plans for the whole site are coming along very satisfactorily."
The plans for the single-storey community centre show four meeting rooms, one office and a large multi-purpose hall with kitchen area and toilets.
It is hoped educational and recreational courses, such as IT will be run from the centre as well as a crèche, counselling suites and drop-in sessions run by voluntary groups.
The report to planners states: "The intention is to create a community focal point that will meet the diverse needs of the area. The aim is to provide an excellent range and quality of facilities that will be valued by the community.
"Ease of use by all potential users, including disabled people, parents and toddlers, older and younger people, is considered an essential element of breaking down language and cultural barriers."
Councillors will consider the plans in the next few weeks.
Councillor Roger Ibbs, who was chairman of the taskforce set up to oversee the deal, said: "People said it would never happen, but I'm really pleased the Muslim community has now demonstrated how much they want to be involved in the wider community by putting in these plans with no pushing."

Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore & Wanz) – Thrift Shop Lyrics on Genius
A velour jumpsuit and slippers is common attire for older people who spend most of their time at home. Also, it conjures associations with Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion. Hefner is often found walking around in "sleepwear." The first association with older people is explicit due to the previous two lines, however the association with money, luxury and fame (such as Hefner's) is implicit. Macklemore benefits from both associations. The first is humorous; the second fills out his rap persona as a "player," or someone who has a robust sexual life.

Colorado Rockies veteran first baseman Todd Helton reportedly was on a lottery ticket run, which ultimately led to his arrest for DUI early Wednesday morning according to a police report obtained by TMZ. Helton allegedly "made spontaneous statements about drinking two igloo cups of red wine" during his arrest after police tracked him down in a gas station parking lot after receiving a tip that Helton had struck a median in his black Ford F-150 truck. The report further states that when police arrived at the scene, Helton was spotted stumbling out of the gas station allegedly reeking of liquor and holding the aforementioned lottery tickets in his hand. When confronted, Helton denied hitting the median but nevertheless made the previously alluded to comments about putting back two igloo cups of wine. According to various websites that report on baseball player salaries, Helton made $4.9 million during the 2012 season and is scheduled to earn an additional $5 million in 2013. He reportedly made $16.6 million in 2010 and $19.1 million in 2011. And he was out at 2:30 in the morning, allegedly drunk, and buying lottery tickets. Yeah. If there is any possibility of the tiniest, barely significant silver lining to this story, the report also indicates that Helton "respectful and professional throughout the entire process." So he's got that going for him. Which is nice. TweetThe post Todd Helton allegedly was busted for DUI while on an inebriated lottery ticket run appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

CMPD Expands Gunshot Detection System
Charlotte police are rapidly expanding their use of technology to detect and locate gunshots in real-time.
The "ShotSpotter" system debuted in Uptown Charlotte during the Democratic National Convention and was expanded to the Grier Heights community in March. It uses a system of microphones to detect gunfire and notify police.
On Monday night, the Charlotte City Council approved $140,000 to extend CMPD's contract with ShotSpotter in the Central District and install it in another neighborhood struggling with violent crime: Albemarle Road and Farm Pond Road.
Major Steve Willis says ShotSpotter helped CMPD officers responded to eight incidents during March and April, including one in Grier Heights where nobody called 911, "Which is important when you consider this system."
"In challenged communities, you may not receive your 911 calls," says Willis. "(ShotSpotter) gives us that alert technologically and officers can respond independent of calls for service."
Willis says ShotSpotter has helped CMPD corroborate evidence in several other cases and led to one arrest. Officers have found the technology able to accurately pinpoint the location of a gunshot within 25 meters.

Interior Trouble in the year 3050
I'm lost guys.
I've become unsure of the color values in this pic. I don't really know if I'm on the right track or not, and i've been staring at this picture pushing paint around for too long. I am afraid that that if I touch it anymore, I will overload it with color and make it look like some kind of carnival. The red element in the back is a flag that's supposed to be draping downward, and I dont know if anyone gets that or not because it's in such an awkward position. Generally happy with the composition atm, but if someone has a crit about it i'll take anything I can get
I would really really really appreciate some direction on color values and atmospheric perspective. Interiors just boggle my mind for some reason and I need to do more of them.

The perspective is a bit off did you start out with making a perspective grid or did you just paint and hoped for the best i would do a paintover but i am heading home to get some well deserved sleep
but anyway make a perspective grid and it will be a hell of a lot easier
Hope this helps

The bad news is an asteroid nearly a mile wide could be on a collision course with Earth. The good news is we have time — plenty of time.
Scientists writing in the journal Science say there is a one in 300 chance that the asteroid 1950 DA will collide with Earth on March 16, 2880. An encounter would be the equivalent of smashing a million tons of TNT into Earth and could wipe out a large city, trigger widespread fires and tidal waves.
Why worry about an event that might happen some 35 generations into the future? Lead author Jon Giorgini of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains he isn't trying to sound a warning bell.
Instead, he wants to get researchers thinking about how to improve predictions of asteroid collisions — and how to prevent them.
"It's so far in the future that it's nothing anyone should worry about now," he said. "But it illustrates the value of understanding things sooner rather than later."
Astronomers Who Cried Wolf
Astronomers have warned of possible asteroid collisions in the past. Perhaps most notorious was the 1998 announcement from a scientist at the International Astronomical Union that a massive asteroid would smash into Earth in 2028. After much public hand-wringing, NASA dismissed the prospect as impossible a day later.
The uncertainty of Armageddon announcements generally comes from a lack of data. Although NASA has set up a program to identify and monitor all of the large asteroids that pass near Earth, so far astronomers have only located about half of these estimated 1,200 potentially hazardous asteroids. Additional observations often quickly reveal asteroids as non-threatening.
But asteroid 1950 DA is different. Thanks to a quirk in the asteroid's orbit, observation records dating back to 1950 and precise radar readings from NASA's Arecibo station in Puerto Rico when the asteroid hurtled by more than 70 million miles from Earth in 2000 and 2001, researchers understanding of this asteroid and its path of orbit is unusually complete.
"This one is distant in the future but it's most interesting because it's not likely to disappear after a few observations," said Steven Chesley, a coauthor of the Science paper and a researcher at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Astronomers have learned the asteroid swings around the sun every 2.2 years. It passes within 77 million miles of the sun and then streaks back into space, passing Mars' orbit and reaching a point about 241 million miles from the sun. The rocky body is 1.1 km (0.68 miles) in diameter, it has at least a couple large craters on its surface and it spins very fast — about once every 2.1 hours.
"If you were to stand on the surface you might get dizzy watching the stars zip by," said Giorgini.
Fuzzy Factors
That said, there's still a lot that scientists don't know about 1950 DA, including small factors that, over 878 years, could significantly skew predictions.
They don't know, for example, the exact mass of the asteroid or its rotation or its thermal conductivity. Even the computing tools astronomers use and the way programs round off to the nearest number after so many digits muddies the prediction of an encounter.
Giorgini says the biggest wildcard is a factor called Yarkovsky's effect. This effect, believed to be first penned by a Polish engineer named IO Yarkovsky in the early 1900s, describes how unbalanced heating of a small body can propel it in a particular direction.
