Every year one of the most unusual sailing clubs in the world has another stunningly successful rendezvous. This year was no different.
Shag Islet (on right) with boats anchored - photo by Nautical Nancy
According to the local newspaper, a total of 170 boats took part in the annual Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club (SICYC)'s rendezvous at Hydeway Bay on the weekend - and $40,000 was raised for prostate cancer research.
From humble beginnings at the first event when $280 was raised, the cruising sailors have now raised more than $80,000 for the cause in five years.
But what is it that makes this club so special? Once you join SICYC, you not only become a Vice Commodore, you also become a Life Member of SICYC. There are no joining or on going annual fees. (But you must buy a shirt).
So where is, and what is Shag Islet, that its club has such generous rules? It is an Islet between Gloucester Island and the mainland. Basically there is nothing on the islet other than Shags, and it can be accessed only at low tide when a small beach is exposed on the southern end. (This doesn't tell you much? Read on...)
Maybe the location can be guessed by the fact that the weekend's event attracted cruising sailors from Canada, the USA and Australia.
One of the best reasons for joining the club is that SICYC does sound rather impressive – combined with the 'Vice Commodore Shirt' and a suitable amount of bluff you should get access to some of the more swanky yacht clubs in the world. (At least until they wake up).
Founder Ken Thackeray said the whole weekend was packed with activities and that those who took part were a wonderful bunch of people.
There were more than 600 people at the party at a nearby resort on Saturday night and guests enjoyed fireworks and a Polynesian dancing show. (Does that give you a clue?)
The club was founded in April 2009 and now has 2500 members. More than 100 people became members on the weekend.
Mr Thackeray said most of the members were between the ages of 40 and 70 and this was also the demographic of people diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Shag Islet Yacht Club gathering
He said many of the members were doing their own fundraising on the weekend as most people knew someone who had been touched by the disease.
He said to have 170 yachts take part was a reflection of being in the cruising season and that members contributed in a silent way to the local economy.
Mr Thackeray said the formation of the Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club (SICYC) had simply made these people more visual in the local community.
Still don't know where it is? Well, you could try googling it, but here's the information free: Gloucester Island is off the coastline of North Queensland in Australia at 20 03.8 S 148 26.5 E.

Nantes to Bordeaux has minimal interest for riding. My recommendation is to head for Auxerre and then dip into the Regional Park of the Morvan and then into the Massif Central, which has pristine scenery and it's lightly populated. If the Pyrennees is your destination you can just continue south via Mende and Castres to Carcassonne. The best east-west roads in the Pyrenees are the N260 on the Spanish side and the 618/918 to the Atlantic on the French side.
Thanks for sharing your experience on the subject.
So what your saying is; don't do this:
But do this
That's auxerre, morvan, mendre, castres, carcassonne.
We could snif the pyrenees and pay andorra a visit. We'll probably have time to cover the Pyrenees from coast to coast. But i don't know if it's worth it?
I assumed going east around paris would automatically be a lot more miles. Seems this was a false assumption.
Couple of years ago i rode up from Nice to Nancy and back home. Maybe we could take that way back.
Someone had pointed out to me that we'd best avoid the coastline from Marseille to Nice. Does the same apply to the coastline to the west of Marseille?

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - The groundbreaking for the Nelson Heights Community Center in Commission District 4 will take place at 10 a.m. Thursday, and the public is invited to attend.The center, to be located at the corner of Laseter and Puckett streets, is a project spearheaded by District 4 Commissioner J.C. Henderson and partially funded through special purpose local option sales tax revenues. Henderson has said he hopes it will serve as a community gathering spot and provide a safe place for children to study and play. The land, approximately 8 acres, and building, are being paid for through $500,000 in SPLOST funds. The building will include a meeting room for 75 to 100 people, a catering kitchen, restrooms, a 200 square-foot office and storage space. The Covington City Council has agreed to donate .48 acres and give $21,000 worth of in-kind services to the project. The property donated by the city could in the future be used for a pavilion and basketball court, which are not included in the current budget, according to Cheryl Delk, special projects coordinator for Newton County. The city also agreed to give $21,000 in in-kind services related to the extension of a waterline, installation of a water meter vault, a water meter and fire hydrant, including the cost of labor and materials. Eventually, Henderson said he would like to have ball fields and a tot-lot with play equipment and picnic tables at the site. Those associated costs are also not included in the current budget. He is also looking into programming options, he said. Henderson said he would like to see the site used for recreational purposes and an after school program, similar to what is offered at Washington Street Community Center on School Street, also in District 4. He said the center is especially needed by the children in the Nelson Heights and Green Acres neighborhoods. "I've been working on this for a long time. I'm very excited about it, especially for the community," Henderson said. He said the center could be open by August. Crystal Tatum can be reached at email@example.com.

I'm low key easy going and like to joke around. I talk alot and am very random. I like to live and laugh.
I'm interested In someone that just likes to have fun. A gentleman that isn't affraid of showing respect and using it. Someone that does not have a problem with talking about anything at all down to earth. No comtroling no games. I have built my life around my children and my work. The last couple of years have been very hard as I had to reorganize my life but with the help of great friends and my children its coming around. I truley believe that relationships take 100 percent on both parts and everyday you learn something more about give and take and love. I have been tried and pushed and still walked out alive, my heart still pumps and I still believe in true love. I am a fly by moment person, if something strikes me I move on it. If I feel like going down to the lake at 10 pm I do, simple. I like alone time to reflect and I pick my words very thoughtfully as once they are said you can't take back. I love to dress up sometimes but I love to dress down too. When I am committed I am committed. I like to know that the gentleman I am with has respect enough to not hide his feelings. I am very open and verbal I will tell it like it is so if you do not aprove of that please don't lead me on. I can't change who I am and I refuse to try this late in the game. I can keep a conversation with any mix from truck drivers to the queen I blend and enjoy doing it too. I love all types of people just don't pretend your something your not because I do not like fake people. I would like to meet someone that is not affraid of being wild sometimes, quiet sometimes, romantic alot of sometimes, respectful all the time, a kid at heart doesn't have demanding ocd's understands that we have to be our own individual person along aside from being together. Someone that will respect the commitment and care as much as I do.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have 1 dog that I adore. Her name is nallie...she is a white lab but she thinks shes a white lap dog...she weights about 100 pounds and loves to sit on your lap. i'd be lost without her.
cut grass, playing pool, tubing, laughing, bon fires, good company and a glass of wine. baseball games in the spring and getting stuck in the snow in winter.
I like to go out on bike rides which i have not done in ages. I love going to the lake, horseback riding, mudding, causing trouble in a good way and letting loose. I have a dry humor so it is something alot of people are not used to.
I read alot. I love bio, history and self help books that give insite on diffrent ways to deal with things. the last read i did have however was fifty shades of gray which was out of my normal. liked it but not the ending.

Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Hi, I'm moving my questions about this to a new thread for TS because I'm starting to think it isn't related to the other problems involving EDIDs. (even though the symptoms are similar.)
Symptoms are, when GDM starts up, it rejects all resolutions and ends up showing just corrupted graphics on the laptop screen. The graphics are almost exactly the same every time, like a memory region holding an 800x600 image being displayed raw at 640x480.
Plugging a monitor into the laptop VGA port and restarting GDM results in a perfectly functional desktop being displayed on the external monitor at the correct native resolution, with fast and functional openGL and everything, but the laptop's screen stays blank. The nvidia drivers' gui utility cannot seem to make the laptop screen work when I tweak it from the second monitor. It sees a disabled screen at 640x480 but seems to get hung up whenever it tries to do anything with it. It will spit out a rewritten xorg.conf, but this also does not work.
/var/log/xorg.0.log shows these lines coming from the NVIDIA drivers that seem to be related to the problem. It is rejecting all resolutions. (Maybe they are not defined correctly? But I did not change them...)
Note - this xorg.0.log happened with EDIDs enabled. I turned them back on after disabling them did not help.
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
Alienware Area-51m laptop
Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)
nvidia Geforce 5700 Go
native laptop screen res. is 1680x1050
Linux Kernel (uname -r):
1:7.1.1ubuntu6.2 (installed version reported by Synaptic)
Xorg -version
X Window System Version 7.1.1
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
Tried (and failed) so far:
The 'nv' module is disabled :
in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
Neither of the four commented lines at the end of the Screen section (xorg.conf) helped anything.
Disabling EDIDs did not solve the problem. I checked in xorg.0.log to be sure - it did report the EDIDs were disabled and not being used, and the problem did not change.
Tried different mode declarations for 1680x1050, with no change:
Modes "1680x1050"
Modes "1680x1050_60_0"
Modes "1680x1050_75_0"
I will put in a second post with the larger log files in full and the nvidia-bug-report output.
In total I have probably spent about a week and a half searching around and trying things in xorg.conf... Always going back to a clean one when things didn't work of course.
The other threads I've looked at that were similar to my problem (but I'm thinking one might not be related) are:
--> Monitor doesnt like Drivers
--> Can't use nvidia drivers on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 ?

The full Xorg.0.log and nvidia-bug-report.log are attached in a zip - NotASquirrel_logfiles.zip.
Thanks for reading. I'll be really grateful if anyone is able to help me fix this!
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
If this problem persists with 1.0-9631 and 1.0-9742, please start X with the following command:
startx -- -loverbose 6
and then generate a new bug report.
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Doing that now with 9631.
Anything special I need to do to make sure the old drivers get purged out? (I'm going to just run the .sh script now and see if it works)
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
2 Attachment(s)
No luck again.
I updated the drivers using 'nvidia-installer --update'. Started gnome using 'startx -- -logverbose 6' instead of the usual '/etc/init.d/gdm start'. I ran this command as the usual user who logs in normally, not root. Same symptoms except now there is a bit more info to go along with it.
I attached new bug reports in two new zip files, for two new trials:
Trial 2: NotASquirrel_logfiles_2.zip
EDIDs enabled.
In xorg.conf I had declared the maximum vertical refresh as 60Hz, but after starting X with verbose logging I noticed the drivers were trying 61.1 Hz, not 60 Hz, so those modes were getting invalidated incorrectly.
Ran nvidia-bug-report.sh and zipped the output into NotASquirrel_logfiles_2.zip.
Trial 3: NotASquirrel_logfiles_3.zip
Changed the following in xorg.conf:
-- Disabled EDIDs with Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
-- Changed max vertical refresh to 62 Hz to let those 61.1Hz requests through.
Same results. Same corrupted screen. Ran nvidia-bug-report.sh and zipped output into NotASquirrel_logfiles_3.zip.
I may take another crack at it once I've found the download location for 9742 but so far no luck with 9631.
Thanks again for the quick reply and the help!
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Without disabling the EDID, please add the following option to the Device section of xorg.conf:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck"
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
That worked! Thank you!
I do DCC and was hoping to get to try Maya out in linux as I'd heard good things about its performance. I was worried I'd have to scrap linux yet again and go back to windows.
What I wonder now is why that option didn't work before... I'm not exactly clear on the effects of putting different options in different sections of xorg.conf. I had that option present before, but it was in the Screen section not the Device section.
Thank you! I will go back to the Ubuntu forums thread I started and post the fix now.
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
I just mustered up the courage to take another shot at getting the new nvidia drivers working on my Alienware Area51m laptop (GeForce FX Go5600) and after instering the Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck" line into my xorg.conf file, it worked flawlessly!!
I'm currently using the 1.0-9746 drivers, and they seem to be working great
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Great Voxel!
Nice of you to verify this fix worked on another AlienWare laptop.
By the way I have unverified suspicions that my display might be grabbing 50Hz as its refresh. Not so big a problem on an LCD for me, but you might want to check if you care.
I'm not sure of an easy way to check, and haven't had time to dig yet - which is why it's unverified. I just remember seeing it somewhere right after getting the drivers working, but I was so elated at the time I don't remember where it was.

Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for your postings on this thread. The same option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck" worked for me on another Alienware Area 51-m laptop!
I was running the Nvidia driver 8776 and all was well when I decided to upgrade to the then-current 9* driver. The compilation failed, complaining that it didn't know where to store some libraries. Uninstall also complained and didn't remove everything it was supposed to. I then entered a world of pain having to remove things by hand.
I next switched to the Debian unstable driver but couldn't get X to start up. After weeks of fiddling, your thread gave me the answer. Thanks again!
We should share our xorg.conf file to see what other Alienware Area 51-m users are up to in their configuration.
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
nice, Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck" fixed my issue on a similar Alienware laptop (Clevo D9K) (nana2)
Re: Laptop screen unusable, corrupted, but X and VGA port work
Mine has been working ever since, though it recognizes 50Hz (minor problem only on LCD but will fix eventually...)
50Hz is the only refresh available in the Gnome res/refresh chooser. This could be my fault for something I put in xorg.conf too, so no worries yet. :D

We use LEDlenser hand held torchs for this. The LEDLenser brand is very well made, excelent light output, and focusable.
My earlier question was how will your light compare with one of the LEDlenser X14. Go to website
if you are interested.
I am keen to get an LED spotlight that will have a bit more range (Light throw) than the X14, while being light weight etc. I would run it off a motorcycle battery in a back pack. I am also keen on some good LED lights for my KTM. The curent axuliary lights I have are halogens and the draw more current than I care to think about from my bikes system.
Thanks for the link.
Far different game hunting rules here.
It looks like they are using an XPG emitter with a adjustable beam. That has the ability to aim a very focused beam,almost like a wide laser. I imagine the spot is very small to get those distance #'s and not usable for Motorcycles or anything but spoting something.
Based on there #s provided, The Long Range will put out about twice the light, however it is designed to give Usable light for Motorcycles and other off road applications at long distances.
at 200 meters the light beam would be approx 8x + times larger. Off course without seeing it in person its only a guess.
We do sell quite a few portable lights for hunters, as well as battery powerded systems for off road bikes.
If you would like a kit with a 6Hr lightweight LIpo battery and switched cord, I can set you up.
When Quality matters,Its all about choices.

Beneficial cargo owners are celebrating an early Christmas. Anticipating the supply-demand ratios again were trending to the demand side for the year, trans-Pacific contract rates for major BCOs barely moved, if at all. To be sure, some inland point intermodal rates bumped up, but still aren't close to the cost levels associated with providing the services.

Crowley is continuing its investments in the U.S.-Caribbean-Latin American services by buying more than 4,300 pieces of equipment that will be used on its services connecting the Caribbean, South America and the U.S.
01 Jul 2015
U.S. containerized imports from South America are rising on a double-digit basis while U.S. exports to the region stagnate, a recent trend that is narrowing the trade lane's north-south imbalance and emboldening carriers to seek higher rates.
01 Jul 2015
Simatech has received the first of two new container ships with capacities of 4,350 twenty-foot-equivalent units, reflecting continuing and rapid intra-Asia trade demand.
01 Jul 2015
The Far East-South America trades are facing the threat of rate wars this month as carriers add significant additional capacity to an already oversupplied market, according to Alphaliner.
24 Jun 2015
Hapag-Lloyd is raising rates on the East Coast of South America to Central and North America trade lane amid a recent shakeup in vessel-sharing agreement.
23 Jun 2015
Shippers on the over supplied Asia-Europe trade appear to be honoring their service contracts with container lines even as the spot market tumbles to new lows every week.
22 Jun 2015
An Indian-flagged cargo vessel carrying containers sank in the early morning hours of Monday about 40 nautical miles off the Mumbai coast, according to Indian maritime agencies.
20 Jun 2015
The recent plunge in spot rates for trans-Pacific container shipments doesn't reflect what cargo interests will pay as a result of recently negotiated service contracts with carriers for the coming year.
18 Jun 2015
Next year's expansion of the Panama Canal could boost U.S. East Coast ports' share of Asian containerized imports by as much as 10 percentage points, according to a new study that contrasts with more conservative forecasts.
17 Jun 2015
An index measuring spot rates to ship a 40-foot container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles this week fell to a more than four-year low, a plunge somewhat explained in part by seasonal decline in demand, but still an ominous sign to carriers seeking general rate increases over the coming months.

Project management practice is dynamic: it changes in response to changes in the environment-in response to technological, cultural, and sociological changes. In this section of the book, expert authors highlight some of the areas in project management where new trends or problems are creating new ideas and solutions.
The issues involved in project management are broad and multi-faceted. The topics in this section illustrate some specific approaches to dealing with the management of projects, ranging from political and cultural issues to alternative methodologies that can be applied in unison with project management principles.
Power and politics are always an overriding issue on projects; rather than simply complain about them, Randall L. Englund offers a proactive way to plan for and succeed at organizational politics.
Critical Chain and Six Sigma methodologies are proven approaches that, in certain contexts, can be applied jointly with project management. These methodologies, relatively new to the practice of project management, are described here by Frank Patrick and by Maximiano and Soler.
Communities of practice are a way of organizing project personnel to improve knowledge management and transfer, as well as to provide the satisfaction of social learning and rewarding professional relationships; DeLisle and Rowe are well-versed in both the human and technical aspects of CoPs.
Finally, Dinsmore and Codas provide an overview of the challenges project managers face when working with the increasingly commonmulticultural and/or international project team.

2nd and Seven – You Run on me, I'll
run on you – The MWC has its share of good running attacks, and
varied ones at that. Utah's spread. Air Force's option. CSU's power
zone game. TCU's multiple spread option. At some point, you better
stop one aspect of it. Colorado State didn't do that at any point last
year, including struggling against Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl. The Ram
defense gave up 201 yards per game, ranking somewhere near the bottom of
the NCAA rankings. If there's one focus for this team, this defense,
it's got to be stopping the run. Uh, like you didn't know that
3rd and Three – Needing Nading –
Although the defense struggled throughout the 2005 season, one player
who gained attention with his play was Jesse Nading, soon-to-be junior
defensive end. Following in the large footsteps of former Rams Clark
Haggans and Joey Porter is one thing, but holding this unit together
with young players dotting the two deep is another. The Ram DE has to
be a dominant factor off the edge and help take away any perimeter
rushing game. He's only 252 pounds, but he's the best defensive player
at CSU.
4th and One – A shot of Johnny Walker
– Last year when the Rams threw the ball, it was going to David
Anderson. And, with very good reason. But, Anderson is off to the NFL
in 2006, leaving second leading receiver Johnny Walker, and perhaps the
biggest game breaking threat on this squad, as the team's go-to
receiver. Anderson was so good at making the clutch catch and he was
the guy that former Ram QBs Bradlee Van Pelt and Justin Holland looked
up in a big situation. The Rams need for Walker, he of the 41 catches
last season, to be Hanie's guy this fall. He's a wonderful return
specialist, but the Rams need an additional 65 to 70 catches
from Walker. Just a little shot of Johnny Walker can work wonders.

A German bank has dismissed two executives after an investigation into spy activity
FRANKFURT - Deutsche Bank has sacked two executives in the wake of an internal investigation into whether Germany's largest bank conducted surveillance on another board member and others.
Regulators, lawyers and the state's Data Protection Authority have now launched their own investigations into whether the bank or its representatives could have broken civil regulations or criminal laws.
Rafael Schenz, the bank's head of German corporate security, was first suspended and has now been dismissed over allegations private detectives he hired to conduct spying on behalf of the bank breached privacy laws.
Wolfram Schmitt, the firm's head of investor relations, was also suspended and is now sacked, reportedly for disclosing confidential shareholder information to the sleuths hired by Schenz.
Allegations of corporate spying are especially controversial in Germany, which has strict privacy laws and is still recovering from East Germany's Cold War legacy of spying and informing on citizens.
The alleged targets of the bank's surveillance included Gerald Hermann, a former member of the bank's supervisory board, who was suspected by the bank of leaking sensitive information.
Michael Bohndorf, an outspoken shareholder who had been critical of the bank's senior management, was also allegedly a target, as was Hermann-Josef Lamberti, the bank's chief operating officer, and German media baron Leo Kirch, who has alleged that remarks by a Deutsche executive led to the failure of one of his companies.
The two dismissals are the result of a probe conducted by law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton on behalf of Deutsche, which began with incidents disclosed in May stemming from events within the bank's corporate security department between 2001 and 2007.

So, I have spend some money for Genesis, V5 and Genesis 2 Female, V6 and for the V4 injection tools + some bendmorphs and gen morphs.
Resume: Sure Genesis and over all Genesis 2 Female has much more morphs and possibilities especially Breast moves, thigh shapes, belly and so on and more than V4.2 and the bendmorphs are great and the shape shifting also BUT for me V4.2 (with the add ons I have) rules.
V4.2 is the winner. I guess now I have all this new stuff I will get into it some day but for now I must say, no way, I like the old more.
DAZ should have more invested on her than on these new figures. An add on tool for more injection channels and other stuff.
BTW: a question. I use the WWGII figure (that is based on the v4.2 geometry and uses also the v4.2 cr2) unfortunatelly it is not possible to inject the NBM and NGM products to this figure. Is this a problem of the WWG2 or a thing that NBM and NGM can`t be injected in poser Figures? Don`t know, fact is, I can not inject these great products to my WWG2 figure (and as I know these products are using no injection channels)

- TMZ reports that Ric Flair's fourth wife, Jacqueline Fliehr, has filed for legal separation and claims that Flair has cheated on her since they were married. Jacqueline filed in North Carolina earlier this month and cited "acts of illicit sexual behavior." In the documents obtained by TMZ, Jackie explains, "Husband has had numerous intimate relationships with other women during the parties' marriage, to the embarrassment and humiliation of wife." She also alleges that Ric hasn't paid her tens of thousands of dollars in spouse support that he agreed to pay back when they agreed on a separation agreement in October. According to the documents, Flair agreed to pay her $4,000 per month in spousal support in addition to a one-time payment of $15,000 to cover legal fees. Flair also allegedly agreed to pay $14,000 in back payments from the time they split up in July. Jacqueline claims that Flair still makes more than $1 million per year.

YIELD: Serves 6
Make dressing:
In a small bowl whisk together honey, mustard, lime juice, and tarragon. Add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified, and season with salt and pepper. Dressing may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring dressing to room temperature before proceeding. Stir in chives.
Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook favas until crisp-tender, about 2 1/2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain favas in a colander and gently peel away outer skins. Transfer favas to a large serving bowl.
Have ready another large bowl of ice and cold water. Return water in pan to a boil and cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 3 1/2 minutes. Transfer asparagus with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus in colander and pat dry with paper towels.
Return water in pan to a boil and cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with slotted spoon to paper towels to cool.
In bowl with favas, toss together 1/3 cup dressing, asparagus, shrimp, mâche, frisée, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle salad with some of remaining dressing and garnish with chives.

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick failed a concussion test Thursday, and likely will miss Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer report. Rookie quarterback Nick Foles would make his third NFL start in Vick's stead. Vick couldn't reach the baseline status of an ImPACT test on Wednesday, meaning he will sit out his third straight week. The Eagles announced the test results on Thursday. It's unlikely the Eagles would have played Vick even had he passed the test.

Thread: Sketchronomicon
February 26th, 2008 #1
Long time no post on CA.org, but I've been drawing my ass of in the mean time, so I guess that's ok.
I've been working out my oils and figures, and trying to figure digital painting out. I'm going to try to post this once every one or two weeks, but we've seen how well that works out int he past.
I'm also going to be out there in sketchbook land, commenting whenever I can, and at some point I'll actually start participating in the ______ Of The Week activities. There, I've posted it on the internet for all to see, so I actually have to to it now.
To kick off this new sketchbook, here's some stuff from the past two weeks:
1. The cover of a new sketchbook I just started, to which this thread will more or less correspond.
2. A quick SP sketch I did to wake up Sunday morning.
3. A sketch of a character design for a friend of mine.
4. Another SP, this one a facial anatomy study.
5 and 6. Figures sketched from imagination. Tear them apart! This is a skill I'm working to cultivate.
7. Photoshop paint based on the above sketch. Still working out the composition. Any input would be welcome. This is only the second digital painting I've ever done, the first being the robot in my old sketchbook. I'm sorta... guessing.
8. Thread Icon. [Edit: Well, that didn't work. Oh well. Hehe...]
That's it for now.

Coolio , Your lines are too harsh around everything, start light and build up on the lines, remember nothing has this 'dark line' around it but it'll look fine if you adjust your line weight to suit the drawings. Your facial anatomy study misses things all over the face such as the definition on the eyelids(not the actual eyelids but like where the lashes come out of X_x god I suck at explaining hahah). Look more at the reference and study every part. Possibly pick up the vilppu drawing manual also to solidify your application of 3d in a 2d space. Good luck man and keep at it!

A Painting!
Happy Thursday!
I'm going to a They Might Be Giants concert tonight! Lucky me!
Anyway, here's a painting I did last week or so.
Still Life w/ Candle and Garlic, 18x14 in., oil on canvas, ~2.5 hours alla prima.
March 3rd, 2008 #4
Hey folks. Here's some new stuff.
1) Some guy with some gourd, oil on the cheapest prestreched canvas ever, something by something, nine hours (in class)
Yes, i know his hand is huge. this painting was fun.
2) portrait sketch, maybe forty minutes
March 4th, 2008 #5
EtherRain, got the comment about the face proportions. Im enjoying Still Life w/ Candle and Garlic and would like to see some more time spent on it. I don't see it as a finished piece. But keep up the good work and post away on here i wanna see you progress! Oh, and for anatomy reff i would recommend the Loomis books.

I like your figures studies so far. I'll rec some more study on the head and facial features. More along the lines with what the two guys above said - hogarth and loomis have great books published about that.
Really like your paintings as well - keep it up.
March 5th, 2008 #9
Thanks for the C&C folks! Keep it coming!
EtherRain - Thanks EtherRain. Line weight is something I'm struggling with. I'm in an anatomy for artists class, and we've been doing facial anatomy for a while. The professor is really pushing form of the skull first, then form of the face, and then actual features almost as an afterthought. Like, the specifics of the eyelid aren't as important as keeping the spherical form of the eyeball evedent. It's great practice, but it backfires on me sometimes because I get stuck when it actually does come time to put the specifics of the features in.
Kaffinated - Thanks, that was a lot of fun to paint. I've been thinking of going back into it, actually, because i've been told that the mirror image doesn't read, that it's ambiguous. I've got a copy of FD for All Its Worth and Heads and Hands but I haven't gotten them out in a while.
Delmar - Thanks, Delmar. Haven't heard of Hogarth, I'll have to check it out.
Twoplus - Thanks a lot!
starzik - Thanks. The book we've been using in my anatomy class is Peck's Atlas of Anatomy for the Artist. I really like it for Peck's little explanatory sketches in each section after the anatomy diagrams proper. Loomis is a great book for a drawing course, but Peck is my favorite reference manual to refer to when I'm working.
Ok, I'm def. gonna get my Loomis books back out and work from them some. I can't believe I left them on the shelf for so long.
New portrait sketch today. This is the model for my anatomy class, same subject as the portrait in >>>4.

I just downloaded the free trial of Painter 11, and I'm buying it as soon as I have the scratch. In order to get more comfortable with the tablet and with painter (and because it's a good idea anyway), I'm going through Loomis FDFAIW entirely in Painter. It's an idea, anyway.
Here we go!
p.s. the notes... I always make notes on my sketches, and it seemed like a good idea, in order to build dexterity with the pen. It's a very strange sensation, I don't find it like drawing on paper at all.

Washington Redskins' Game Day discussions for 2003, 2004, and 2005
Irn-Bru wrote:This is exactly why "playing for a high draft pick" after a season is supposedly lost is a critical error.
Exactamundo FFA! Hopefully we win every game we play - we also have the opportunities in those games to see what works and with whom. The players have the opportunity to make contributions and to show that they belong here.
For the rest of this season we will find out who wants to be a part of this team going forward and who does not.
If there are any players like Pierce or Arrington or Smoot or Bailey who think they are entitled to make more money elsewhere or feel they will be more appreciated elsewhere, then we will replace them and try and be successful with the players who want to be here and with these coaches.
We're going to be better because Snyder is not making football decisions - in the past we all hoped for change but it did not happen - I'm convinced that NFL guys are now in charge here - it will take time but we're on the right track

When on the eve of the millennium then-President Boris Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin as his successor, the world was astonished.
To Russians the nomination was less of a surprise – after all he was promoting the prime minister, who by then had been in office for five months and wasn't unknown to most Russians.
As the Russian Cabinet resigned today at the behest of Putin, most Russians had no doubt that the purpose of that move was to promote deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov to the post of prime minister.
Ivanov has been Putin's close friend and associate for many years and thought by most observers to become Putin's successor as president of Russia. The prime minister's office would be the perfect step towards presidency in 2008, just as in Putin's case in 2000.
However, it was not Ivanov who was nominated today, much to the surprise of even reliable Russian broadcasters such as the Echo Moskvy radio station.
The man Putin named is Viktor Alexeyevich Zubkov, a little known deputy minister. The Duma, Russia's parliament, must still rubber stamp Zubkov's nomination and may do so as soon as Friday.
Caught flat-footed by the news, Russian media were able to produce little more than dry facts from the nominee's career.
Viktor Zubkov, 66, is an economist from St. Petersburg. He was a deputy minister in charge of taxes, and will now come to the office of prime minister from holding the post of deputy finance minister. He is also the chairman of the committee on financial monitoring – a low-profile but significant body which tries to combat Russia's huge problem with money laundering. Zubkov is also chairman of the ruling United Russia party's St. Petersburg chapter.
Above all, however, Zubkov has the prime credentials for holding a top post in Russia's power structure – he is from Putin's inner circle of friends. He was Putin's close associate when both worked in St. Petersburg's mayor's office, both in charge of foreign relations.
Russia's new prime minister is married and has one daughter, who in turn is married to Russia's Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov.
This nomination by no means anoints Zubkov as Russia's next president. Political commentator Vyacheslav Nikonov reacted to such speculation on "Russia Today TV": "Zubkov has no chance of becoming successor to President Putin," adding that the change of prime minister is a strictly pragmatic move."
According to Nikonov, appointing an expert in taxes and finances is meant to put greater stress on fiscal matters within the government.
James Nixey, manager of the Russia program with the U.K. think tank Chatham House, is not that surprised by Zubkov's nomination. He argues that he fits a similar mold to the former Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, in that both are without political power bases and are expendable, as demonstrated by Fradkov's easy removal. According to Nixey, Zubkov is likely "another puppet with different skills."
"Putin is concerned with his legacy and succession now," Nixey told ABC News. But it is far from clear who that successor will be. Ivanov and Medvedev are considered the front-runners but "we didn't think Putin was going to be the next president, it's a really hard one to read," Nixey said.

Teachers rally in Capitol over school reform, funding, vouchers
By Jeremy Roebuck | March 11, 2013 | Updated: March 11, 2013 9:24pm
Photo By Michael Miller/FreelanceFOR NEWS - Bonnie Reyes, left, and Iris Zepeda cheer during a rally for public education funding at the State Capitol in Austin on Monday, March 11, 2013. Five busloads of San Antonio school employees gave up a day of their Spring Break to head to the State Capitol in Austin joining with hundreds of their colleagues from around the state to lobby legislators on restoring the $5.4 billion in cuts to public education. According to Katy Giglio, a member of the San Antonio Alliance, a group that represents employees in SAISD, "They cut about $500 per student," and while there "weren't a lot of cuts to teacher positions, but there were a lot of cuts to other positions and other resources in the classroom." MICHAEL MILLER / FOR THE EXPRESS-NEWS
AUSTIN - Hundreds of Texas public school teachers, rallying Monday at the Capitol, left state lawmakers with some homework for the rest of the year's legislative session: Allocate more money for schools. Require less testing. And say no to vouchers.
Those demands - laid out by about 1,000 educators, many on the first day of their spring break holiday - came as contentious statehouse battles loom on school finance, standardized testing and school choice.
"Public education is under assault in the state of Texas," said state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, cheered on by the crowd. "Without our schoolchildren, we might as well give up on Texas' future."
Monday's rally was organized by the Texas American Federation of Teachers as part of their annual lobbying day. Educators from across the state - including the San Antonio Alliance of Teachers and Support Personnel and the Houston Federation of Teachers - flooded statehouse hallways to charm, coax and cajole local representatives.
They carried signs demanding "Flunk Gov. (Rick) Perry" and cheered on speakers like John Ogletree, a school board member from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, who offered a prayer for the state's educators.
"We have people who have sacrificed their time and money to serve the children of this state," he said. "We're here to hold folks accountable that we helped elect."
Rainy day demands
Many demonstrators complained of growing classroom sizes and attempts to reform the state's pension system for educators. Others kept the focus on school funding.
Facing a harrowing fiscal outlook, lawmakers in 2012 slashed $5.4 billion from the state's public school systems and education grant programs.
The cuts brought the amount Texas spends per student each year to $8,400 - less than any other state in the country, save Arizona and Nevada.
Though a state district judge ruled last month that Texas' school finance system was inadequate and unconstitutional, Attorney General Greg Abbott has appealed the decision.
In the meantime, Davis, the Fort Worth senator, said she hopes for a legislative fix.
Already this session, proposals have emerged that would restore some of those cuts, including a bill by Davis and others that would draw $4.5 billion from the state's rainy day fund.
But other groups, including those lobbying for road funding and water supply projects, have also staked claims on the $8.1 billion pot, which is financed primarily through oil and gas tax revenue.
"Our schoolchildren are more important than any road or any water resource," Davis said Monday.
Aversion to 'public'
Perry and top Republican leaders in the Legislature oppose plans to use the money on school spending, saying the fund should not pay for "one-time expenditures."
They are backing bills such as one by state Senate Education Committee Chairman Dan Patrick, R-Houston, that would offer businesses tax credits in exchange for helping poor and at-risk students leave public schools for private ones.
That plan proved largely unpopular among Monday's crowd of demonstrators.
Alan Weeks, a former public schoolteacher whose organization, Save Texas Schools, put on a similar Capitol rally last month, remained doubtful that the chasm between the state's teachers unions and the Legislature's GOP majority could be bridged easily.
"They just don't like public anything - public welfare, public hospitals, public schools," he said. "They probably don't even like public restrooms."

COLUMBIA CITY — Youth will be served — a common expression that describes the relationship between the Columbia City Electric Department and a graphic arts class at Columbia City High School.
The city began a contest within the graphic arts class at the high school, taught by Chad Moore, to design a new logo for the electric department. The winning design will go on letterhead and be on the door of a new vehicle for the department.
"It's one of those things where I was really looking to get involved with the schools," said Shawn Lickey, who will take over as the electric department superintendent next month.
Moore said the project is an opportunity for his students to connect with the real world. His classes have already done similar work with businesses around the community, and as a teacher, he enjoys the experience that comes for his students from project-based learning.
"It's a win for the business. They can get something done," he said. "They can also go back to the students and say what parts they liked. The students get the process of revision, and get to see what that's like."
Advantages for the business also come from the volume of proposals. Typically, a professional firm might submit four to five ideas. But Moore said just one of his students may submit more than 20.
"A whole class full of kids can get them more than 100," he said.
Moore said he appreciates the principles from the business world that his students have a chance to learn.
"The city will get the right to refuse," he said. "If none of the kids do a good job, if there are no good logos, then they can refuse, and that's a good lesson too."
He added, though, that has not happened yet in his experience.
Another lesson the students learn is that the customer is always right.
"We may pick the best one or two, but sometimes they will go out in left field and pick something we didn't expect," Moore said.
Doing this for nearly a decade has given Moore's class a reputation. Lickey said he instantly thought of graphic arts class to design a new logo.
"I really wanted something catchy, to catch the eye," he said. "My first thought was Mr. Moore at the art department. He said they have done it for other companies and I thought it sounded like an excellent idea."
Interacting with real-life people and customers is what Moore said he supports.
"I try to emphasize project-based learning," he said. "We've been doing it for nine years now. It's something we're really good at, giving the students real-life problems and they find solutions."
Moore and Lickey said a winner for the contest should be announced later this month.

NFL Week 10 Betting Trends
- Updated: November 8, 2013
Kansas City is the lone unbeaten at 9-0. They are off this weekend preparing for their huge test at Denver next week. Tampa Bay looked ready to get in the win column last week in Seattle before blowing a huge lead in the fourth quarter and losing in overtime. The Seahawks were public darlings earlier this year, but they haven't put up good efforts in the last two weeks. Carolina is rolling right now, but they'll be up against San Francisco in a huge game this weekend. Does anybody want to win the NFC East? Everyone is still alive in that division.
BangtheBook has offered a trends to consider article during the baseball season, and now we'll be having an NFL trends to consider article during the football season as well. This will give bettors a good look at some of the most important trends to consider before placing a bet this week. Let's look at some NFL Betting trends to consider for the NFL Week 10 Games.
-Cincinnati lost in ugly fashion to the Dolphins last Thursday night, but the Bengals are still in control of the AFC North. They can get much better control of the division with a win at Baltimore this weekend, while the defending Super Bowl champs desperately need a win. The under is 5-0 in the Ravens last 5 home games. The Bengals are 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
-Detroit and Chicago are tied at 5-3 in the NFC North, so this weekend's game in Chicago is crucial. The Bears are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. They are also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against a team with a winning record. Detroit is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 against the NFC North, but they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 at Soldier Field.
-The Giants lost their first six, but in the NFC East they aren't out of it. They've won two in a row and they are favored by a touchdown at home this week. Oakland is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 following an ATS loss, but the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between these teams.
-Can the Packers survive without Aaron Rodgers at the helm? Green Bay is a one-point favorite over Philadelphia at home this weekend. The Packers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games during week 10, but without Rodgers under center it's tough to look at past trends in this one.
-The San Diego Chargers lost in heart breaking fashion last week. They host Denver in a key AFC West game this weekend. The Chargers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 following a straight up loss. The Broncos are just 3-9-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings between these two teams.
-Carolina is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games. The 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. Something has to give in this one. Maybe the most important trend to look at here is the fact that the over is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.
-The New Orleans Saints are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games. Dallas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Cowboys are just 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these teams. This should be an interesting Sunday night contest.

LEXINGTON — It's hard to believe, but the guy heading up the 2010 World Equestrian Games is not really an expert in the saddle.
"I have ridden a horse twice in my life," laughs Jamie Link, the chief executive officer of the games, who calls Lawrenceburg his hometown. "I took a lesson at the Kentucky Horse Park and I took a 5-mile trail ride at Mt. Brilliant Farm. It was a blast."
Suffice it to say that Link is no Calvin Borel. And that's just fine for the 1980 graduate of Anderson County High School.
Even with the graduation of its most successful performer since Anderson County formed a girls' golf team in 2002, there is no fretting around the Lady Bearcat camp as they get ready to open the season.
The team opens against Spencer County, next Wednesday, Aug. 11 at Wild Turkey Trace.
Part of that calm is simply head coach Lynn Gritton's demeanor. He's laid back, does not put much emphasis on won-loss records, and preaches getting over a bad hole or bad day quickly.
An independent candidate for sheriff filed the required number of signatures Monday to be on the ballot for November's general election, according to documents filed at the Anderson County clerk's office.
By doing so, Jeff McCormick, 48, of 568 South Main St., will challenge incumbent Sheriff Troy Young, a Democrat.
Young defeated a challenger in May's primary. No Republican filed to run for sheriff this fall.
If there were any bad side effects from an abrupt, somewhat unexpected coaching change, the Anderson County boys' golf team sure has not shown them.
"We haven't talked about (team goals) but I hear them talking about going to the state (tournament)," says new Bearcat coach T.J. Spivey.
Fresh out of Georgetown College and planning to teach fourth grade math at Emma B. Ward Elementary School, Spivey quickly accepted the position despite being contacted about the opening three days after the official start of fall practice.
The trial of a woman suing the Anderson County Fiscal Court on charges that she was sexually harassed, shown pornography and given a sex toy before being fired from the judge-executive's office is scheduled to begin next April 11 in Anderson Circuit Court, according to Anderson Circuit Court documents.
Lea Beasmore, who was fired last March, filed the lawsuit last May. In it she claims that county building inspector Dean Lickliter brought a sexual device commonly known as a vibrator into her office last Feb. 14 and gave it to her.
Beginning about July 1, the question comes my way at least once a day.
"Are you ready for football (or the fall sport of your choice) to get started?"
Or sometimes, it comes in a more generic form: "Are you ready for school to start?"
It means the same as the person that asks is usually just trying to make some friendly conversation that often evolves into our respective expectations for that sport in the upcoming season.
Put mildly, 2009 was a bad year for cats in Anderson County.
While overall euthanasia rates at the Anderson Humane Society were down nearly 14 percent, the number of cats euthanized jumped 24 percent from 2008, according to statistics from the organization.
Mackenzie Peavler fired a perfect game as the Central Kentucky Batcats 14-and-under softball team routed the Gateway Heat, 9-0, in the championship game of the August Blowout, held over the weekend at Anderson County Community Park.
The gem was a fitting end to a tournament in which Peavler went 3-0 and allowed one earned run.
The Batcats are made up primarily of players from Anderson County and saw their record for the summer improve to 18-8 with the tournament title.
BASRA, Iraq — Matt Hackathorn would love to be spending his time working on his Anderson City Road farm or hanging out with his buddies at Wash's Cycles.
But for now the lieutenant colonel has more pressing issues, including working to advance the voice of freed Iraqi soldiers, police officers and citizens.
Hackathorn, a public affairs officer with the US Army, is stationed in Basra, Iraq's southern most province that includes its only seaport, and an area key to making the war-torn fledgling democracy economically vibrant.
