how to draw the same character many times
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, but I'm already in love with it
I'm starting a personal project - a short comic story - with a friend. I'm not a pro and I've learnd what i know about drawing by myself. I think I've reached a quite, let's say, low-average level; enough to try some structured project. I mean, enough to try something that gives me the opportunity and the momentum to learn more. Anyway: the first problem i have is to draw characters similar to themselves page after page. By now the main character seems to differ from pose to pose and this is no good, you know...
Have you any tip to fix this?
Thanx very very much

One thing you could do is draw out the basic concepts for the character. That way you know what goes where for future refrences. Another thing that I've seen from diffrent articles and the tv is that comic book artists keep lots of pictures of their characters around for reference.

Illustrating a comic is hard work indeed. I maintain my own webcomic because I wanted to try my hand at working on a large project, and it was more work than I expected. Still, it's good practice and a great learning experience.
I have run into the same problem before that you have having now. The best advice that I can give you is to practice drawing those characters over and over again. If you've only drawn those characters a few times, then chances are that you haven't established their basic characteristics yet. Draw a few headshot sketches, and take note of what varies from piece to piece. Is the chin more rounded or more squared-off from the previous sketch? Are the eyes wider or more narrow? What about the nose? What 's different about its shape? All of this may seem like minor details, but we subconsciously pick up on these details in our minds. Determine what details work best for the character you are drawing, and keep them in mind as you draw that character more and more. Then, draw the full-body character and repeat the inspection process. Eventually, you'll develop a method for drawing that character and he'll begin to look the same from panel to panel.
I also suggest developing character sheets for your characters. Set aside a page or two for each character in your sketchbook, and draw his or her different emotions. Imagine what changes on his or her face when he or she is sad, happy, angry, embarassed, etc. Not only will this help you to build consistency with your characters, but it will also give you some practice with emotions.
Hope that helps!

I ended up drawing one chracter at a time at some point, that is, I had the sketches for how it should look and then I started on page 1, and character 1, whe I had drawn that character I started all over on page 1 with character 2. In that way I coule keep the characteristics if the characters apart, cause they all looked kinda the same and it was hard giving them a personality of their own.
Otherwise, draw your character from all sides to keep as referance, and draw a lot, thats all you can do realy.

Here's what worked for me:
Give each character one or two (or even three or four) defining features--features that no one else in the story has. Like a Roman nose, or a certain haircut or head shape, or body shape...that sort of thing.
Back when I was first trying to teach myself how to do this, I spent a lot of time looking at old comics drawn by the late, great John Buscema. He was the absolute master of keeping everyone looking consistent from panel to panel. While I was looking at his style, I noticed that he would give them one or two distinct features that he wouldn't give any of the other characters.
Hope that helps.

The one thing I've always done, and I know people like Gabe, and Kurtz do is if there are a few frames where the character is in the same stance and all that changes is mouth position, or even something like the hand's placement if you're really good (oh this only applies if you ink digitally) then you can just draw the character once, then ink it on its own layer then just copy it. Did you follow what I said, because I sure as hell didn't.
THAT'S POST #1, the first of many bad and useless posts.

Well, thank you all!
Trying to summarize, these are your suggestions
- create a strong character. With at least one or two noticeable face element
- have a character sheet to keep as reference, with many poses and many facial expressions
- draw again and again and again, writing down notes on what is ok and what is not, until the hero seems to remain consistent
- copy and paste where possible (i use photoshop just for the colours)
- drawing the same character in all the panel of the story, then start with the next one till the end and so on
I'll try to apply them and post here the results.
Really great advisors here

I'm not a big fan of cut/pasting but that's just the anal purist comming out . I think you'd improve a lot if you'd train yourself into learning how to break down your character into shapes. Focus on rendering shapes correctly as well as keeping proportions of those shapes from one drawing to another. Once you have the basic shapes down, your character is almost there..
So in short, a character sheet (or Model sheet) is the most important part of your references. Having a turn around of it will help you define where which peice connects with the other. Once you have a good mental image AND reference of your character, you can always refer to it and keep consistent. That's how animators do it at least...

I've heard that making sculptures (maquettes) can also help you out a lot on this since you'll have a fully 3d object to reference.

Officials advise weekend beachgoers about risks of rip currents, driving conditions and high temperatures
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nueces County officials warn beachgoers about risks of rip currents, driving conditions and high temperatures during Labor Day weekend.
The tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico has caused strengthened currents along area beaches from increased surf and wave intensity, officials said.
Individuals caught in a rip current should not swim against the current directly back to shore, but should swim to either side of the current as if to escape the swift rapids in the middle of a river.
Driving conditions are excellent, but may deteriorate into the weekend because of extreme heat, low humidity, and traffic on beach roadways, officials said.
Beachgoers should also be aware that forecasts predict temperatures of more than 100 degrees, so individuals should stay hydrated.

Who's Better, Iron Maiden or Metallica? Lars Ulrich Weighs In
Lars Ulrich responds to Bruce Dickinson's claim that Iron Maiden are better than Metallica.
Lars Ulrich responds to Bruce Dickinson's claim that Iron Maiden are better than Metallica.
Well, not THAT Led Zeppelin, of course -- but the world's newly unveiled longest aircraft certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to the hydrogen-filled airships of old, and counts Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson among its primary champions and private investors — as well as test pilot.
Updated 12/27/13: Original source CITEworld has retracted their story — "Due to writer error, an original version of this article stated that Iron Maiden used MusicMetric's analysis to plan its South American tours. MusicMetric did not work directly with Iron Maiden. The analysis described in this article was carried out without the band's participation or knowledge, and we have no confirmation that the band ever saw or used it. CITEworld deeply regrets this error, and we apologize to our readers."
Two of heavy metal's greatest champions, Metallica and Iron Maiden, have been officially confirmed as headliners for Sonisphere 2014 -- the European continent-touring mega-festival first launched to great success in 2009, but which latter suffered a last-minute cancellation of its UK leg in 2012, and took a year off in '13.
Now, it appears Sonisphere is ready to return at full strength in 2014, and the UK dates set for July 4 through 6 at Kn
Are you an indie-loving hipster scared of listening to something manly? Are you curious about making the jump from flower-sniffing, ironic mustache wearing, jingle-jangle ditties to music with actual testosterone? Jimmy Fallon and the Avett Brothers have you covered.
On August 28, 1993, Bruce Dickinson gave his last performance with Iron Maiden until he rejoined the band in 1999. The 1993 show was filmed by the BBC at Pinewood Studios in London and broadcast on MTV and pay-per-view in the U.K. Later, it was released as 'Raising Hell' on home video.
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson's love for flying is well-known, as he's piloted the band's Flight 666 plane on tours around the world. He's also the CEO of the airline supply and maintenance company Cardiff Aviation Limited. In addition, Dickinson is involved in the charity Flying Scholarships for Disabled People (FSDP).
Along with acting as the vocalist for one of heavy metal's greatest bands, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is an accomplished pilot. The man could probably kick some ass in a fighter jet ala 'Aces High,' but Dickinson instead chose to pilot commercial aircrafts, including Maiden's own Flight 666 jet. Dickinson recently started his own aircraft maintenance business, Cardiff Aviation Limited, and the singer has just secured a near $8 million investment to help his company soar to new heights.
A legal technicality has been keeping Iron Maiden's Trooper beer off the Swedish market, but thanks to some quick thinking by the graphic design department, Maiden-loving Swedes can now swill with impunity.
That elderly couple next door might look sweet, but don't make 'em angry, or you may end up spending the night with Iron Maiden.
Does Iron Maiden have plans to release a new studio record next year? It seems that many signs are pointing towards "yes."
The ever-evolving music industry endured another shift recently when Vivendi SA's Universal Music Group agreed to sell Sanctuary Records, the onetime label of metal giants Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, to BMG Rights Management. The Los Angeles Times reports that the deal was part of divestitures required by European Commission regulators.

Broken app; Can't sign in
Update: still badly broken after all this time. I gave up for a while, tried again, reset password, and everything they asked, and it's still broken.
I've been a print subscriber since 1974. I can sign in to the iPad app for a few issues, then it won't let me sign in. This has happened three or four times. I can sign in to the website, but not the app, even after multiple password updates. App is very broken.
Issues won't download
I've been subscribing to the New Republic through this app for a couple years now, but the last 2 issues haven't been able to download. I've tried everything - stopping and restarting my subscription, deleting and reinstalling the app, etc. - but nothing seems to work. It's ironic that soon after the New Republic announced a new digital push, the iPad app ceased to work... I hope they fix this issue soon!
Squandered an early lead
When iPads came out four years ago, The New Republic app was a dazzling innovative online reader. Only to squander what advantages it had. Now it won't even display the trial issue correctly, or let .a regular subscriber download an issue without logging in repeatedly. Oh what a noble effort is here overthrown! Time for some experimentation at TNR.

Publisher's Description
When Beth Thompson's only son, James, goes missing in action in Afghanistan, she is left with her prayers, hopes, fears... and letters. Mother and son have been writing since boot camp. James writes of his struggle to become a confident soldier and of his concern for his young wife and their unborn child. Beth, like any mom, praises her son's courage even as she frets for his safety. Even after James disappears, Beth is comforted by a daily ritual of writing him about her feelings, faith, and attempts to maintain a normal life when nothing is really normal but the waiting. Based on platinum-selling singer Mark Schultz's hit song "Letters from War," this powerfully emotional and timely story reveals how faith sustains in even the darkest of circumstances. SPECIAL FEATURE: Contains music tracks from Mark Schultz's CD, Renaissance, including "Highlands," "Normancy," and "Letters"

So i've bought about 50 to 60 games already this year and i doubt i've finished even 20 of them. At the same time i currently have 7 games on order from Amazon. I seem to be content just owning the games and play about an hour of them. I know this seems crazy but is anyone with me. Do you buy more games then you could ever have time to play?

Yup. Count me in. Though I did closer to 30 this year.
I do play everything at some point, but yeah, maybe beat 50% max. It's just fucking steam man. Too many good deals. If you've got wide-ranging tastes, and you like old and new games, you're toast. How could you not just buy buy buy?
Its just steam for me. I bought Borderlands when Borderlands 2 is coming out in like 2 months and I knew I was never going to play it. If something is $5 I can never resist, I always end up telling myself "oh that could be really fun, its only $5" and then $50 later I have 10 games that i may never finish.
i bought 70-ish games last year and i only finished 15 games-- half of them probably not even from 2011. if you guys want to go down a dark hole, you should tally up the amount of money you spend on games at the end of the year if you have that problem of buying too many games for your own good. it's not pretty.

I did exactly that when I first got my 360. My friend said "Do less buying and more playing so we've got stuff to discuss!" Now I hate the 360 and am finally playing games I never got to before I started on that spree. I'm playing Paper Mario 64 ffs!! And I've got the follow ups to play. P.S. I'm loving it. P.P.S. 360 really is shit.
I used to buy tons of games that I've heard good things about, but never really ended up playing most of them. I'm changing that. I'm in actually in the process of getting rid of every physical game I own that available for PC. I never play them, and if I ever want to, I can just pick it up on Steam.
I'm going to gamestop with a shoebox full tomorrow. I know I could get more cash on Ebay, but I don't feel like taking pictures and waiting around for them to sell and stuff. Just get them outta here!

While I did buy the Humble Indie Bundle V and only touched half the games so far I gotta say I don't have this issue at all.
Thing is, I very much so like Blizzard games, in particular Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2 and lately Diablo 3. So I've just set me a somewhat high quality standard, especially in terms of fluid gameplay and animation as well as being fundamentally solid.
I for example never had the slightest interest in Skyrim because the game is too broken for me, as you can easily abuse poorly implemented mechanics to level up certain stuff like blacksmithing skills etc. by doing stupid repetitive stuff (crafting a lot cheap weapons for example) because... well because Bethesda didn't actually pay much attention to that stuff. Stuff like that destroys games for me. When the effective way to play the game is also broken then fuck that. On top of that the animation and voice acting quality in that game is terrible for these days, the itemization and inventory management is crap, pausing and quicksaving ruins battles for me etc. pp.. So really, there's nothing that draws me in.
At the same time I can pretty easily tell which games I'm gonna buy and enjoy. For example Terraria I immediately liked and expected to have a good time with - turned out true (though that game also reveals a lot issues later on but you get a lot hours out of it). Or Rock of Ages, which is a fricking brilliant game that I kept playing with a friend forever.
Granted, I also bought a few games I deemed rather bad later on, even though I got my hours out of them, like SPAZ (during alpha/beta or whatever that was) and Dungeons of Dredmor (worst inventory system you could ask for in a game like that). But initially I was interested to play them for many hours, which is something.
This steam sale left me cold, didn't buy a single title because I didn't intend to play any of them.

I'm not as bad as I used to be but sometimes I do find myself standing in eb games wondering why I'm there. Can't leave empty handed though.
I'm with you, man. I buy too many games, but usually on sale, thankfully. By doing this, only the games that really grab me get real play time, and there's no real rhyme or reason to it beyond my tastes at the time. Bought The Witcher 2 on xbox, played it for a couple hours and never picked it up again. Same with Skyrim. Dragon's Dogma, on the other hand, hooked me and I put dozens of hours into it. Madness.
If I were to sit down right now and start playing all of the games in my room, I estimate that it would take about 3 years to complete them.

I'm addicted to new releases and I think it's cause I play through all my games and then constantly check gaming sites and fall for the hype machine. Like I gotta have a game as soon as it is out because I'm a sucker and have no backlog. I wish I had discipline to wait a month or two for the games to go on sale and drop at least $20.
I just enjoy playing new games too much.

With the exception of Humble Bundle stuff I almost never buy games that I don't eventually finish. I've probably done that with less than 10 games in my whole life.

I buy a ton of games, but since I know I won't even play most of them, I wait until they are cheaper. A back catalog of 200 games or so, and its getting bigger each month :)

I can barely get by every month and I don't have this problem.
Priorities for me, really.
When I buy games through Steam sales, most of them cost me around the same price of a game rental for a console game. When I think of it that way, it doesn't seem too bad to me. Once a backlog of more expensive games has built up, then I consider that a bit of a problem.
On the console side, I've bought a lot of games recently because they were on sale that are just sitting in a stack, waiting to be opened. Not really saving much money when the sale price becomes the regular price in a couple of months.
I used to buy all games on release and always the collectors edition if possible.
Took me a while to get out of that habit. Mafia 2 really was the worst I got burned. Arkham City had a cool Batman figure but the thing doesn't come with a game case! Imagine, you have to store you game disc in the artbook that has a stiff back and a CD ring thing.
I do, certainly, but Steam sales have taught me to curb my spending habits. I won't buy a game I'm remotely interested in on the off chance I might enjoy it, but I still do find myself buying games I *know* I want to play even if I won't be able to give them a serious chance for a few months. This is especially true of older games that are pretty much unanimously popular.

I wish I could buy multiple games but I only purchase like 3 games a yr. This yr I am planning on getting Elder SCrolls 5 Skyrim, Transformers Fall of Cybertron and Epic MIckey 2 Power of 2.
I used to be like that and have a heap of PS2, PS3, and PC games that I haven't yet tried or just played for an hour to test if they worked. In the last few years though I have settled a little and have tried to catch up but I always find myself slightly behind.
Still find it hard though, especially when you can order online and get great deals.
And if I had more money I am sure I would be way more addicted to buying.

I am pretty sure that I have exceeded 70 retail games purchased this year and I doubt I have finished a single one and probably haven't even touched 30-40 of them. I am happy adding 10 games a month if the price is right as those 10 games would be lucky to cost more than $250 - clearance or used. I have no problem with that, but of course, that could be denial.
Wow, you must be loaded. Or, maybe you were before your game buying spree? =p
I couldn't afford to buy so many games so I think I'm safe from collecting too many and not playing them. I started renting earlier this year though and that's helped because now I don't have to buy as often to play the games I want to. Oh, also helps that I don't buy into hype I guess.

I usually buy no more than 2 games a month. Sometimes a bit more ( usually during fall) and sometimes less (during summer) however I did but about 25 games this month but that's because of steam and amazon sales

When I win the lottery, I'll find out. I probably would be. Steam sales would be something like this:
"Let's see, that looks fun... that looked interesting... I'd like to have that... looks like a nice novelty, I'll buy it... Hey! I missed that one a few years ago, let's see if it still holds up..."
I worked in Switzerland for the past 2 1/2 years, and was payed well (at least, for my standards), during that time I spent a lot of money on games, just because I could afford it. I wouldn't call that addicted though, I was just enjoying my wealth, and spending your money is fun, after all.
Now that I'm not working abroad anymore, I'll earn less, but have more free-time, which will hopefully make me feel less stressed out. Because buying games was also, as strange as it may sound, a way to compensate, and playing games distracted me and gave me a moment of peace.

I fell down that shame spiral back when I first graduated from college and didn't have anything going on. I would buy pretty much anything that came highly recommended and play very little of them for a significant period of time. Now that I got the job I want and I have tons of things going on, I don't have any time to buy, let alone play most games. But, I still take a couple of days off of work each year when a new Halo game comes out. My roommate from college comes over and crashes on the couch for a couple days and we drink a bunch of terrible beer.
I think of it as insurance against boredom.
I do a lot of "Hey, this game was cool and I never finished it. I'm gonna pick it up because it is cheap." Then I never play it, but just knowing I have it is fine with me. Steam and my new pc has ruined me because I have bought so many games on there in the past month. August needs to wait. I don't have time for Madden, Sleeping Dogs, and Darksiders 2... thank God for Gamefly

Certainly over the past two years I've played or even finished less games. Some of that is down to simply falling out of love with video games, a lack of motivation to complete them. That said, every so often a game comes around to remind me that 'ya know what! Games are pretty awesome' and then I get another hunger to play as much as I can.
Remember playing through Journey, had goosebumps at the end and reminded me what games can achieve. Just sad so few do. Optimistic for the next gen to excite me again.

I worked as a gardener without a visa because I kept living in my country and just went there to work, by train. In this case the only thing you need is a work permit, and you automatically get that, your employer does the request.

Just bought Fallout: New Vegas on the steam sale and I just can't get past how incredibly ugly that game is. The story is pretty boring, plus I don't have the imagination or the interest in making my character's story up in my head, which is pretty crucial to enjoying those open world Bethesda games.
So ya, not gonna finish that game. I'm not too regretful though, since I only spent $7.50 on it.
@Joey_Connell said:
So i've bought about 50 to 60 games already this year and i doubt i've finished even 20 of them. At the same time i currently have 7 games on order from Amazon. I seem to be content just owning the games and play about an hour of them. I know this seems crazy but is anyone with me. Do you buy more games then you could ever have time to play?
I'm up to about 350 games and the steam sale did not help things. I find myself just staring at a huge list of games and never playing anything for more then an hour or less. I don't know why I can't stop buying games. It's kinda become a problem for me. Plus i'm always working 3rd shift or sleeping so I never have time to get into a game if I can even choose one to play.

A traditional feasibility study determines the volume, nature and quality of the mineral, the best way to extract, and the appropriate equipment needed. With fierce competition for every type of resource, financiers now want to know how owners can attract and retain labor and talent, source and pay for equipment, access energy, water and transport.
In addition to using geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists and construction specialists, project leaders must also understand finance and debt structuring, commerce, logistics, laws, and the political environment. Regulatory approval is critical, and many high-profile projects stall due to delayed or denied permits, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in idle resources.
In tight financial times, infrastructure cannot be bought and discarded, so feasibility studies should consider post-construction uses, such as wider internal availability, sale and lease-back.
With ore grades declining worldwide, more resources are required to achieve the same output, pushing up the cost of crushing and transport. Techniques such as CRC ORE's Grade Engineering™ can reduce capital costs, by combining sophisticated analysis, specialist blasting techniques and rigorous operations management, to improve the average grade of material mined.
With a multidisciplinary network of specialists, KPMG member firms have the breadth of skills to address demanding feasibility studies. Our teams can show clients how their study matches up to the competition, to increase the chances of obtaining funding, resources and approvals.

Setup CASO using BUE 2010 trial

CASO is not usually available as an Evaluation option - As Far As I know that is because if you trial it, but then decide not to use it but to continue with the stand alone version - that you would have to reconfigure your jobs, media sets and media management. very carefully (particularly against accidental overwriting of media used whilst you were trialling CASO)

Skiing & hiking
Walking, hiking and skiing are the basic ingredients of a holiday in the Schladming – Dachstein region. Mighty peaks and cozy mountain restaurants welcome visitors throughout the year – be it for a summer break of mountain biking and hiking or for a ski break in winter. Varied holidays are ensured at any of the towns and valleys that are part of the Schladming – Dachstein area: Ennstal, Grimming, Donnersbach, Lassing and the Sölktäler Nature Reserve. Activities include adventurous whitewater rafting tours, paragliding and challenging rock-climbing tours. In winter the popular Hauser Kaibling, Reiteralm, Planai and Hochwurzen ski areas attract snow sports enthusiasts of all ages and ambitions. Schladming is part of the Ski amadé lift-linked ski area, which offers more than 700 kilometers of skiable terrain for skiing and snowboarding novices and pros alike.
Schladming – Dachstein: Active holidays
The impressive limestone walls of Dachstein Glacier and the mighty peaks of the Schladminger Tauern mountain range are highly popular among passionate hikers, climbers, and outdoor buffs in general. Some 1,000 kilometers of way-marked trails make the Schladming – Dachstein area a prime destination when it comes to walking and hiking in Austria. In addition, there are eight climbing routes, some 500 kilometers of trails for mountain biking and cycling, as well as 40 routes for Nordic walking. Four golf courses ensure exercise and fun down in the valley. Adrenaline junkies will enjoy whitewater rafting and paragliding.
You should neither be fainthearted nor suffer from vertigo if you are going to visit the Dachstein Sky Walk viewing platform, which grants unrivaled views over the Alps. Natural must-sees in the area include more than 300 lovely mountain lakes just perfect for a refreshing soak on a hot summer's day. Putterer See and Ramsau-Beach rank among the most beautiful lakes for bathing. The Schladming-Dachstein Summer Card is available for visitors from 950 member businesses (hotels and other accommodation) and entitles to discounted tickets for public pools, lakes, mountain transport, etc.
Schladming-Dachstein: Top class skiing
Nine ski areas form the Dachstein - Schladming region and make every skier's heart beat faster! First of all, the Schladming Dachstein area is part of Ski amadé, Austria's largest lift-linked ski area with a total of 760 kilometers of slopes and 270 uphill facilities. In addition, the Dachstein Glacier and a number of smaller ski areas, such as Galsterbergalm and Stoderzinken, offer perfect conditions and all the facilities appreciated especially by families. The Ennstal Valley is home to the Schladminger 4-Berge-Skischaukel: The popular ski areas of Hauser Kaibling, Reiteralm, Planai and Hochwurzen are linked by slopes and ski lifts. More than 50 mountain restaurants and pubs welcome skiers for meals and refreshments.
However, the Schladming area also has a lot to offer when it comes to off-piste activities: Visitors may enjoy backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering, snowshoe and winter walking, cross-country skiing, sledging and ice skating! For an extra adrenaline rush during your winter break in the Schladming – Dachstein area try the Stoderzinken zip-line, or head for Dachstein for a walk across the suspension bridge and down the 'Stairway to Nothingness', fourteen descending steps off a cliff.

The Smoky Mountains "Spring for Success" Career Fair is scheduled for Friday, March 13, at the Robert C. Carpenter Building (former Macon County Community Building).
A dozen groups and businesses have come together to make the event happen. With a portion of the event being focused on employing veterans, organizations affiliated with veterans joined on to make the event a success. Event sponsors include American Legion Post 108, Macon County Economic Development Commission (EDC), Macon County NC Works Career Center, Southwestern Community College, and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 994.
"Mark Schuler, veterans employment consultant with NC Commerce, contacted the Macon County EDC about partnering with the Division of Workforce Solutions (DWS), veterans organizations and Southwestern Community College to hold a job fair," said Macon County Economic Development Director Tommy Jenkins of how the event came to fruition.

Gear Question
Would this be good for a white water rafting...
Would this be good for a white water rafting guide?
Todd Schmalhurst
Would this be good to wear everyday? Yes. But I wouldn't recommend it for a whitewater guide. Guides tend to carry more gear on themselves than a typical paddler, so I'd look for something that has more storage.
Jess McMillan
I have been guiding for ten years and love this life jacket. It is great for class III. If you are going to be guiding class IV or V, I would consider the Stohlquist Resque vest that is designed for whitewater rescue scenarios. Stohlquist makes great jackets!
Just make sure you're trained in using (and releasing) a rescue vest...

Kennedy's Courage
Rhody Dems were praising Patrick Kennedy for his courage last night. Yep, driving into a security barrier takes a lot of guts.
Rhody Dems were praising Patrick Kennedy for his courage last night. Yep, driving into a security barrier takes a lot of guts.
Congressional Republicans are set to extend the tax cuts until 2010, and exempt many from the Alternative Minimum Tax for this tax year. Of course, we'll probably have to wait until Republicans have majorities in Congress and the presidency to see permanent tax cuts. Oh, wait...
If you had any question about the partisanship of the American Bar Association, note that it downgraded Brett Kavanaugh's rating from "well qualified" to "qualified" once Democrats started saying he lacked courtroom experience. He was twice deemed "well qualified" for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
As Quin Hillyer wrote last week, judicial nominees just don't come more qualified: clerking at the federal district and appeals court levels, as well as at the Supreme Court, Yale Law, the Solicitor General's office, and the independent counsel's office. Of course, we know it's that last job and his current post as White House staff secretary that have the Democrats apoplectic, and the ABA following suit.
It is being widely reported today that former Attorney General Ed Meese was among several top conservative outsiders who declined to attend a White House meeting on judges yesterday as a sort of silent protest against the lack of concerted effort to nominate and get confirmed enough good judges. I spoke with Meese yesterday afternoon, and he declined to comment on those reports, or even on whether a meeting had taken place. In fact, he was very circumspect overall -- very, well, judicious.
But here are some of the things he did say -- not that they are particularly ground-breaking, but at least they do show that he, too, is on the case:
All direct quotes:
There are a lot of judgeships pending, there are a number of us who are hoping for rapid action by the Senate on those judges who are already pending, either from the White House or in the committee or on the floor.
The responsibility is in the Senate for accelerated action… before it gets too late in the season.
Five years ago today, President G. W. Bush unveiled his first batch of 11 appellate court nominees, which originally was hailed for its (collective) tremendous qualifications, its diversity, and its seeming avoidance of ideological hard edges. He even included two holdover nominees from Bill CLinton, including the semi-controversial Roger Gregory, as a gesture of goodwill to the Dems. Later that month, six more appellate nominees were added to the mix. Around the same time as those six others, though, Sen. Jeffords of Vermont left the GOP, giving control of the Senate to the Dems -- and suddenly, what had seemed like a wonderful start on judges turned into partisan warfare led by liberal Dems intent on smearing any nominee they could. Of those first 11, Miguel Estrada was eventually harrassed into withdrawing, a number of them were harrassed for years before confirmation, and Priscilla Owen was positively abused by the Dems until finally confirmed as one of the few good results of the "Gang of 14" deal last year.
It appears, as Prowler said yesterday, that Stephen Kappes, former CIA deputy director of operations, may return to Langley as deputy director if Gen. Mike Hayden is confirmed as DCI. This will be an (expletive deleted) disaster.
Let us remember that Kappes is not just a symbol of CIA failure, he's been an increasingly important party to it. Kappes was with the CIA from 1981 to 2004. He rose through the CIA bureaucracy during the era of its greatest failures. On his watch, the CIA failed to predict the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the downfall of the Soviet Union, the terrorist attacks beginning in 1986 and up through 9-11. And while he was in very important positions - though we know not his involvement - the CIA created the Wilson/Plame sham scandal and leaked incessantly in the manner political to damage the president and thwart his policy. Kappes is a dedicated part of of the failed CIA bureaucracy that will resume prominence and control under Hayden.
Not sure that Zacarias Moussaoui has actually seen where he will be staying, but we imagine that if he has, that was probably was drove him to think twice about his admissions.
We would imagine that life behind a SuperMax prison's steel doors is far less appealing than the comparative comfort of, say, San Quentin or even Guantanamo Bay.
We're hearing what others are hearing: that almost certainly if Gen. Michael Hayden survives confirmation that his deputy will be former CIA deputy director Stephen Kappes.
Kappes resigned rather than deal with the Porter Goss's deputies, particularly Dusty Foggo, who resigned earlier today.
If not Kappes, then the White House will turn to other longstanding CIA hands who have left recently. You get the picture. Why is Kappes high on the list? His ties to the human intelligence networks the CIA had been building up over the past four years.
BTW: This Foggo story will not be going away any time soon, but Democrats should be very careful where they tread. This one may be the story that turns the public opinion tide on them.

Re: Geale VS Mandy - Objective thoughts please, leave the trolling at the gate...
it was in the contract, weight incentives, u dont make a guy come in at 195LB and he does it with some hand shake agreement. BJ was going to lose a large portion of his purse if he didnt make dannyweight.
Dawsos, its fact. I was m8s with Leon back then and i was talking to him frequently about it being at Dannyweight, he called me the day of the weigh in and we spoke about what Austin had told him, BJ dropping his undies etc. Unless Leon told me lies, which i dont think he did, Austin lied to him.
U must remember Green didnt want people to know about it and Green was the IBOs cash cow, they supported him with everything he did, even with the Briggs fight after NSW refused to sanction it, which should have raised alarm bells with the IBO but they dont give 2 fcks as long as they keep Green happy and get their sanction fee. Green wouldnt even allow BJ to answer the question to the media as to why he dropped his undies to make 195LB when the limit is 200LB, Danny interjected and said to the media that BJ wanted to show them where all the weight was.

Fish sightings in Stour Brook two weeks after sewage pollution wipes out thousands
Posted: August 20, 2014|
Fish have been spotted in the Stour Brook – only weeks after the entire population was killed by pollution.
A spokeswoman for the Environment Agency has confirmed that the water quality returned to normal "fairly quickly" after a problem at the Anglian Water Recycling Centre in Haverhill around August 5.
This led to sewage entering the brook. This killed "thousands" of large and small fish along a 3km stretch of the river.
Fish have since been spotted in Stour Brook, but the effect on the fish population is still being investigated by the Environment Agency.
A spokeswoman said: "We will apply the principle of polluter pays if there is a need to restock the river."
The recent heavy rainfall helped to dillute the river's pollution, she added.
An Anglian Water spokesman said the company will follow the agency's guidance on action for the brook, if needed.
Cllr Tony Brown, who represents Haverhill East, has said he hopes to see the river "thriving" again as it was before the incident.
He said: "What I am really concerned about it how we are going to stop this happening again.
"What fail safe are they going to put in place to stop it. I would like to see the river become full of life again."

Ruth assisted me in the purchase of my first home in the fall of 2011. Ruth is loaded with information for anyone who may be buying, selling or just looking. I have a very analytical mindset, and the information and data that Ruth brought to the table was extremely helpful. In addition during my purchase we went through about 4 weeks of negotiations with the seller. Ruth was by my side every step of the way. Thanks for all of your help.
Ruth is very professional, does her research prior to showing us houses. She is not pushy, but does check back with you. She has shown a couple of houses for me. I am not actively looking, but would move in a heartbeat if I fell in love with a property. She knows that and yet is always ready to show me a property. She emails potential houses on a regular bases.
When she finds the right house for me, I will list my house for sell with her.
I give her 6 stars!!

COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) _ A southwest Missouri man has been convicted of invading the home of a Kansas woman who collapsed as
she told police what happened and later died.
James Rickey was convicted Wednesday after he pleaded no contest to one count each of attempted aggravated battery, attempted robbery and residential burglary.
Prosecutors said Rickey and another man, John Gaston, posed as handymen in December 2005 to get into the rural Cherokee County
home of 86-year-old Dorothy Daniels.
Authorities said her death was related to the stress of the home invasion. And Rickey and Gaston originally were charged with counts
including first-degree murder.
Sentencing for Rickey on the reduced charges is scheduled for April.
Gaston already is in prison after pleading guilty in 2007 to involuntary manslaughter and felony burglary.

Musoma — ALL homes in Musoma municipality, Mara Region, will enjoy clean and safe water after completion of a multibillion shilling water project being funded by the International Development Agency (AFD).
The project will enable the town's 130,000 people to live without experiencing shortage of water for a period of 20 years to come.
Implementation of the 43bn/- project has reached its final stages, according to Musoma Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (MUWASA) Managing Director, Mr Gantala Said.
"We are rating progress of the project every month and it is now 75 per cent," Mr Gantala said in an interview with the 'Daily News' on Tuesday. Execution of the project involved construction of a modern water treatment plant while water is drawn from Lake Victoria. It is scheduled to be ready on December 30, this year, according to the MUWASA boss.
The project is aimed at improving water supply and sanitation services for the entire municipality of Musoma. Completion of the project will enable MUWASA to start producing 36,000 cubic metres (36million litres) each day. Presently, the authority produces only 10,000 cubic metres (10 million litres) each day against demand which stands at 24,000 cubic metres.
"We will now have the capacity to serve about 134,000 people, which population grows at 4 per cent per year. This means that shortage of water in Musoma may happen after 20 years," the MD said.
Implementation of the project was further expected to improve MUWASA's revenue, as water formerly lost owing to old infrastructures would be cut from 44 per cent to 25 per cent, according to Mr Gantala. Speaking to the 'Daily News' in a separate interview, Mara Regional Administrative Secretary (RAS), Mr Benedict Ole Kuyan, said the Prime Minister, Mr Mizengo Pinda, was scheduled to inspect and lay a foundation stone for the project soon.
After that President Jakaya Kikwete would officially inaugurate the project early next year. "It is a huge project that will cover the whole of Musoma town and create opportunities for Musoma residents to get clean and safe water. It will also cut water losses facing MUWASA due to an old pipe network," he said.
