text: It seems that, according to Bob McKenzie, Ehrhoff won't be back with the Canucks. In turn, Gillis is looking into trading his negotiating rights prior to free agency, hoping to get something back for him. I'm fine with this as I figured Hoff would want top dollar, and he's only been with the team for 2 years so it's not like he has a ton of loyalty there a la Bieksa. He'll probably get close to $6 million a season, and for probably 5-6 years on the open market. Hoff's a very good dman as long as he doesn't play more than 22 minutes a night, and as long as you don't expect him to play against the other team's top forwards. I don't think he's worth $6 million a season so I'd let another team pay that. The Nucks will have a good chunk of cap space to spend if he moves on - the question will be, as with many other teams - who is there to spend any money on?

August 4, 2015
HOUSTON -- Former colleagues are remembering Michael DeBakey as a "medical statesman" and possibly the world's most prominent doctor in the last half of the 20th century.
DeBakey died in Houston Friday night of natural causes at the age of 99.
A hospital official says "millions of people are alive today" because of DeBakey's work.
While still in medical school in 1932, he invented what would become a major component of the heart-lung machine, thereby launching the era of open-heart surgery.
The procedures DeBakey developed once were the wonders of the medical world. Today, they are routine in most hospitals. He also pioneered the effort to develop artificial hearts and heart pumps to assist patients waiting for transplants, and helped create more than 70 surgical instruments.
His longtime rival, Dr. Denton Cooley, says DeBakey's legacies are many, but one of his greatest may be influencing so many students to pursue careers in the field.
DeBakey's name is prominent at Texas A&M, where the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has the Michael E. DeBakey Institute for Comparative Cardiovascular Science and Biomedical Devices. You can learn more about the institute by clicking on the link below.

Hi, girls! I have been away for a while, and am so glad I came to visit the boards today. Lots of happy stories on the pregnant again forum! Brandon is now 4 and a half months old. He is such a cutie! I am going to see how I can post some pictures on here. He weighs 13 pounds, which is about what Hannah weighed when she was a year old :)
He is going to have to have surgery on September 3rd for severe hypospadeus(sp?) and chordee. The surgeon said this may be the first of several surgies, so that's not good news, but he thinks he can correct the problems. He said if it's not fixed, then he will always have to pee sitting down for his entire life, and he won't be able to have sex. I want granchildren, so we have to get it fixed :)
I am going to be a nervous wreck, so I'll need some support when the time comes. Hannah is doing great and loves her baby brother. I am doing better now. I had pretty bad pp depression, and the MFM wasn't a lot of help, but he put me on a low dose antidepressant. I finally got up the courage to see my regular OB - the one I had a falling out with while I was pregnant. She has been through so much with me for so many years, and I missed her and I really wanted to see her. We had a good visit and she upped the antidepressants and I feel better. I had pp depression after Hannah, too. It didn't help this time that I found out that my husband may have been having an affair with a co-worker while I was pregnant. I was one month pp when I found phone bills that showed a lot of texting and late night phone calls, especially when I was in the hospital. He said that nothing happened between them, but I don't really believe him. I thought we might get divorced, but we're working on our marriage right now. I had to go back to work 5 weeks pp because I was out of FMLA time due to bedrest. I was also told that our office is being relocated to another state, which also depressed me because I love my job and the people I work with. I'm still working there for now, but I haven't been able to find a new job. So, it's been a rollercoaster ride ever since I first found out I was pregnant, which was almost a year ago! I am so glad to have this forum and for all of the help and support when I was pregnant. I can't wait to hear updates on everyone else!

As we gear up for the release of Rock of Ages this week, we've been looking back at some of the trends the nostalgic musical so lovingly celebrates, like Malin Akerman's sexy rocker-chick look and Mary J. Blige's flashy jumpsuits. More than any one fashion, the movie reminds us of one big trend the late '80s and early '90s were famous for: the groupie. Not just the girls who flashed their goods from the audience or hung around by the tour buses, either — there were plenty of high-profile ladies who were eager for a backstage pass. And some of them got a lot more than a private concert in the bargain.
As we gathered this list of our favorite celebrity-rocker pairs, from Cher and Gene Simmons to Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear, one other thing became very evident: All of these couples seemed to share taste in makeup, tight pants, big hair and baggy blazers. It even looks like Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli got their hair cut together. And maybe Rod Stewart and Rachel Hunter could swap blazers, while Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour traded acid-washed jeans. We're not sure what exactly Melissa Gilbert and Billy Idol had in common, but, yeah, that happened!

20 March 2012
Stonewall has today responded in detail to the Government's consultation on its intention to extend the legal form of marriage to same-sex couples.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said: 'We're pleased that the consultation process has finally started and are delighted to submit Stonewall's full response. Stonewall supports the Government's plans to make this modest change to extend the legal form of marriage.
'Leading clerics and some political figures have, in the past three weeks alone, compared equality for gay people with slavery, child abuse, polygamy and bestiality. That's why it's critical that the calm voices of lesbian and gay people are heard in this debate too.
'Ministers have pledged that same-sex couples will be able to marry in Britain by 2015. We trust that, given this commitment, these proposals will be included in the Queen's Speech in May.'
Stonewall is urging all supporters of equal marriage to make their voices heard by responding to the consultation themselves before it closes on 14 June 2012.

Small Business Expo set for Tuesday
The 25th annual Lee County Small Business Expo, which was postponed earlier this year, is back and will be held Tuesday afternoon.
Past shows had attracted 80-100 exhibitors, so when this year's show had fewer than 40 signed up, officials struggled with canceling the event altogether or moving it from the spring to the fall and hoping for more interest. They took the latter route, and now the event is nearly back to full-speed, with 70 local businesses who will be on hand touting their services.
"Everything from car dealers to banks, health care, yogurt, dentists, lots of financial, some restaurants — it really just covers everything," Jennifer St. Clair, marketing director for the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, said. "We've got a few a nonprofits as well. And everything's local."
The event will last from 12-4 p.m. Tuesday at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, and admission is $2 or two cans of food to be donated to charity. More information is available at www.sanford-nc.com.
St. Clair said the point of the expo is to connect Lee County residents with local businesses so they can learn about what all is available to them here in town. Many people, she said, drive out of the county for services that are offered here just because they don't know about them, so an event like this helps both businesses and consumers.
Sam Sillaman, who co-owns All Digital Printing Service on Wilson Road, serves on the expo steering committee and has attended all 25 years. He said it's not some magical event that will make a business successful just by being there, but that those who are there have a definite leg up on the competition.
"The expo isn't going to double your business overnight," he said. "But I'm a firm advocate that you should always be in the public eye, and this lets you meet a lot of people in a single day. ... I just feel like it's a good marketing tool for you to get out there, meet some people, shake some hands."
And as a small business owner which works with other local businesses, Sillaman said he also enjoys the aspect of the expo that lets business people connect with each other. The Chamber of Commerce ran with that idea this year, changing not only the date of the event but also the scheduling. Now, instead of a single all-day event at the civic center, the event has been broken up into two days with that business-to-business connection now getting an official function of its own.
Monday evening, an invite-only event will bring dozens of business-minded people together for music, food, entertainment and casual networking. It's a first-time thing, St. Clair said, but she hopes it will remain in the future and help build stronger connections in the local business community.
Sillaman said he also favors the new, staggered schedule.
"The nicest thing for me, as a business person, is having this two-day thing means I don't have to miss a full day of work," he said. "I can work half a day on Monday, half a day on Tuesday."
St. Clair said she's hoping, and guessing, that the postponement actually worked out for the better despite all the uncertainty this spring and summer.
"We are very excited to be holding (the expo)," St. Clair said. "And we're excited to be having it in the fall. The spring is just so busy, but the fall is more open."

People spend a lot of time in email applications, so it makes sense to have links to other applications and useful information next to the email. Some would like to see their bookmarks, others would find useful to have their agenda and the list of to-do items.
Gmail Labs lets you add two gadgets in the left sidebar: Google Calendar and Google Docs, so you can add events, see your agenda and open recently-edited documents. There's also an experimental feature that lets you add any gadget by entering the address of its XML file, but I couldn't find gadgets that work and look well.
"We realize this isn't very user friendly right now; it's a sandbox mainly aimed at developers who want to play around with gadgets in Gmail. We're not tied to the left-nav as a primary way to extend Gmail -- in fact we think it is relatively limited and doesn't offer scalable real estate. There are also some downsides to the iframe-style Gadgets we're using today -- they can sometimes slow down the page. We're fanatical about speed, so we'll be keeping a close eye on performance," says Dan Pupius.
To make room for the gadgets, you could try these experimental features from Gmail Labs: Right-side chat, Right-side labels (move Gmail Chat and the list of labels in a right sidebar) and Navbar drag and drop (reorder containers).

Counseling Psychology
ApplyAttend an Open HouseRequest Information
Program Overview
The Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology prepares students to become licensed mental health professionals, specifically as licensed counselors, with the ability to serve diverse populations within society. Through classroom learning and fieldwork, students will learn to identify patterns of behavior and articulate treatment plans for patients.
However, developing critical and analytical thinking skills is only part what makes our graduates successful in this field. We also instill within our students our Franciscan values of a love of learning, a commitment to service, and respect for all. This empowers our graduates to bring a high level of professionalism, and humanity to the people and groups they serve.
To meet the needs and time constraints of our students, this program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis.
Program Objectives and Outcomes
Upon completion of the Master of Arts degree in Counseling, students will demonstrate an awareness of the ethical challenges and responsibilities in the field of counseling, and articulate a personal model for addressing these that is consistent with Catholic and Franciscan values. In addition, they will be able to assess individuals and groups which display patterns of psychopathology. They will have the skills to utilize information and technology literacy for maintaining best practices in counseling. They will have the skills to articulate a clear and precise treatment plan for addressing the diagnoses of individuals and groups.
The students will adapt to the unique cultural, gender, racial, and sexual orientation needs of individuals and groups they serve. Students will demonstrate competence in appropriate scientifically validated treatment modalities. These include but are not limited to individual psychological counseling, marital, and couples counseling, family counseling, group counseling, and organizational consultation and interventions. At the completion of the degree program and the accrual of the necessary hours of experience the students will be eligible to sit for the state licensure in professional counseling. Students will participate in ongoing professional development geared toward lifelong learning and professional development.
Admission Requirements
In addition to a completed application, the following are required:
- Graduation from an accredited baccalaureate program
- Official transcripts of past collegiate work including post-baccalaureate work
- Nine credits in psychology coursework or its equivalent (recommended)
- Résumé
- Personal statement
- Two letters of recommendation
Degree Requirements
The Master's degree consists of sixty credits and conforms to the licensing expectations of the New Jersey Professional Counselor Licensing Law. For the license as a Professional Counselor, students need to complete coursework in the following areas: counseling theory and practice; the helping relationship; human growth and development and maladaptive behaviors; lifestyle and career development; group dynamics, processes, counseling and consulting, appraisal of individuals; social and cultural foundations; research and evaluations; and the counseling profession (including ethics). Additionally, must complete the 60 credits and practical and internships, as well as maintain a professional/clinical portfolio prior to being awarded the M.A. in Counseling Psychology. Applicants from out of state should check with their state licensing board and requirements prior to starting the program at Felician College.

There were a few things that I didn't like about WAR, but overall I thought it was a really solid game. If it were to go F2P, I would definitely give it another go. The low population is just not worth the sub right now.

I thought WAR had a lot of potential. It definitely wasn't as bad as it's reputation precedes. It had balancing issues but I thoroughly enjoyed the player classes. 2 things stand out to me: 1. instanced PvP killed owPvP, which was the games strength. 2. It was released during the height of WoW's popularity, so people were quick to write it off and return to Warcraft.

Its better to be quiet and perceived as stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
That was the weirdest thing about WAR for me. For all its faults and shortcomings, which were obvious to practically everyone who played the game, WAR was still entertaining to play overall. Probably thanks to interesting classes, even though it was missing a few at launch, and amazing RvR when it actually worked as intended when the game had enough players to properly support it.

From being in WAR beta i'd say...alot. Mark Jacobs wasn't as relevant in todays market as he thought for one. With each beta update the game became more and more like WoW. Did you know battlegrounds wasn't released until the last week of beta? That's because the WoW kids wouldn't shut up about it and low and behold world pvp was dead because of it, which they built half the game around.
So all and all I'd say it was three major issues:
1. Mark Jacobs was a 1 hit wonder, likely carried by his team with DAoC.
2. They listened to the WoW kids
3. Game wasn't unique, there was nothing about it that jumped at you. Wasn't a reason to play it over anything else due to dead world pvp and all other features carbon copied.

Most of my posts get deleted.
I had a lot of fun with Warhammer, when it came out it was fresh and "in your face" with the Warhammer universe so I geek'd out a bit. There were a lot of great ideas and some great ideas poorly executed, unsure if it's on the hat of MJ or the people above him. Either or the fixes didn't seem to come out fast enough, seemed the dev team was always focused on something else rather than fixes or overall improvements.

War is a pvp game straight up, you do not play it for pve.
PvE in this game is unfinished and does not give you the points(RR) needed to get pvp gear for end game. I have no idea why PvE was even put into this game with the amount of unfinished PvE work. (PvE in this game is meaningless)
If ppl understand the above then this game can be fun providing they know it is 100% about PvP.
Second to that there also has got to be other players in the RvR zones. This game is great when there is actual RvR goin on, trouble is the population is not there to allow for this other then maybe prime times depending on server.
I have to admit, i love this game and have subbed to it on and off over the years, there had been enough going on to get me 30 or 60 days of fun a few hours a day if others were on at the right times. Donno about now, their forrms do not make things promising now.
Well i seem to have gone off topic here so -----> If they ever finsihed the game PvE wise, then this game might have had a chance cause really, no game out there is 100% PvP that has any real success.

All it takes for evil to succeed is for the good to stand by and do nothing
For me, only 2 factions in a warhammer game never seems like a good idea.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
I was following this game for a while before it came out and there was a dead give away that the team was NOT about quality but where rushing the game out.It had to do with crafting,they started talking about a great crafting system,then as time went by they started detracting from it until it was like they didn't care about it at all.When i see a dev take the root of purposely cutting corners just to get a game out,i lose interest.
There was yet another important factor.I was looking forward to the videos they were putting out but in all of them they acted like children,i am not talking about funny,just immature,it really turned me off.
Yet another problem,if you are going to sell your game as a predominant PVP game RvR,you had better put a LOT more effort into it than just two factions.That is the LOWEST amount of effort you could possibly put in a RVR game.It points right back to point 1,rush the game out,just to get a game out.I can spot cheap lazy designs a mile away,they are right in front of our eyes to see.
I look for developers that are showing me they put some heart and soul into their game,i don't want to see assembly line game development,wit hsystems that could take less than a few hours to design.

Lack of polish was a serious issue. I was stunned that I could get stuck on what were very little more than pebbles and fall to my death from blades of grass. I mean the bugs were just... Wow. Oh, and the LoD? I know it doesn't matter to gameplay per se, but when any character more than a few yards from you turns into a weird repeating four frame run animation, it doesn't help things. And then there were the imbalances. While perfect balance is impossible to achieve, and probably not even really desirable, the imbalances were often pretty lol. Lastly, much of the PvE was flat broken, but to be honest no one I knew cared -- if you wanted PvE, WAR wasn't really going to be very satisfying.
Personally I didn't like the SCs past teir one or so, they were good for early leveling but quickly turned into farmville -- either farm or be farmed. Seperating organized groups from PuGs and having T4 class by RR as well as level would have helped, IMHO. Mostly they just weren't my thing, though, I wouldn't say they were a design mistake, much as I would have preferred the focus be on the lakes, nor would I say they were a good inclusion.
In any event, even with all the issues -- and they were legion -- the game was great fun... For a while. In the end I think the problem is that PvP isn't the "endless content" people try and pretend it to be. Very quickly you learn to assess enemies, both individually and groups, and pretty much know how things are going to go -- granted, the real fun is in defying those expectations, but that invariably ends up being the exception rather than the rule. There's only so many times you can take a keep, flip a zone, or what have you, and it's even harder to update and add to that than PvE because of the inherent need for things to remain 'fair -- have one side's keep even two microns close to their spawn point and you'll get eaten alive. Having all the capitals might have helped with longivity some, but in the end the result would have been the same. Personally I don't buy that three factions would have made squat worth of difference (human nature is not for the two weak factions to gang up on the strong, it's for the two weak factions to vie for favor with the strong), and I keep wondering how many times it has to fail (I'm looking at you, TSW and GW2, though no doubt those don't count -- they never do when things go south for PvP) before that particular myth dies a well deserved death.
As for whether or not Jacobs deserves credit or blame for WAR, if you're the one in charge both go with the territory and if you can't accept that you have no business being in that position.

I played War for a year from launch and had soem great times but eventually I got tired of awful patches,extreme class balance swings and the broken end game(fortress and city invasions,RvR lakes in general were a lot of fun).Add to that an awful engine and no real sense of direction from the devs and most of my guild and myself quit at the same time.
On a side n9ot I can't believe the way the CU fanbois jumped all over this thread,I beleive we they have now taken the crown from GW2 fans as the most over sensitive and intolerant fans on these forums lol.
Their revisionist history of this game and Mark Jacobs remidns me of this forums reaction to old Smedley....100% villified until Smedley mentioned the word Sandbox and suddenly with that oen word people were saying he wasn't so bad etc.Now I don't hold Mark Jacobs solely responsible for what happend to War but he does command a large share of it.

I loved this game when I first started, the tier one battlegrounds were amazingly fun. The I got to tier two and started to realize some classes were kinda OP. Got to tier three and realized the lack of balance sucked and pvp had lost its flavor. Tried making some new toons and playing in tier one for a while but finally just stopped playing. If they could have kept the magic of tier one though more of the game, i would have played forever.

"See how I reward those who fail me!"
I actually enjoyed WAR for close to 6 months. I even had a lot of fun with it as it definitely had its upsides. Ultimately it had some major flaws that prevented me from staying with it in the really long term. Here's my take on some of the more major things that went wrong with WAR, in no particular order:
1. The world PvP was large-scale warfare, but they were too ambitious with the average Joe's computer power vs. the game's graphics rendered by the engine. I had to turn graphics down very low to the point where it wasn't very enjoyable to watch.
2. Gameplay wasn't always as fluid as one would wish. Collision detection glitched, animations would play when you made an attack even if you couldn't do the attack at the time. There were plenty of these. The game didn't come across as very polished.
3. Instanced scenarios took a lot of people away from PvP, and while some scenarios were a lot of fun, others were quite a bore.
4. World PvP was poorly thought out. You got rewarded for taking keeps, but not for holding them. People quickly started keep trading.
5. Too many characters with knockbacks and other types of CC made combat messy.
6. The world felt fragmented with its small areas separated by load screens. This made the MMO world feel small and not like a world.
7. The typical WoW-like level grind separated players across various tiers, making it difficult to enjoy the vast majority of the otherwise innovative Public Quests as wells as the open PvP zones. You were then forced to level up through PvP scenarios or a WoW-styled PvE leveling grind.
8. The tactics system was interesting, but overall I felt the character build system wasn't as engaging as it could've been.
9. The lack of a 3rd faction destroyed the world PvP as the side with the biggest RvR groups continually dominated, also causing people from the opposite faction to switch sides, making the matter worse.
10. The original concept of the 3 different fronts (Chaos vs Empire, High Elf vs Dark Elf and Greenskins vs Dwarfs) wasn't implemented.
It seems CU is addresses some of the issues WAR suffered from. Some of the real important ones, too. Time will tell if MJ avoids all of the mentioned pitfalls and avoid making too many new ones. 1, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 at the very least shouldn't be an issue for CU.

"No, I definitely reject it. And I can explain it too. The best analogy I use, in a positive way, is EA gives you enough rope to hang yourself. It was really interesting because we really made all the choices we wanted to make ourselves; these are all things we wanted to try. And that's something to remember - while we were independent we didn't have quite the resources we had as part of EA, and then we got to EA and it was like "wow we can do all this stuff." We had to be really thoughtful about what we wanted to focus on.
I remember this really distinct moment where - it was probably five or six months - we were just starting to wrap our head around how we worked with the company. And it took months for this formal period of joining EA, and learning how everything works, and when the initiation was done, we were sitting around asking how do we do stuff. It dawned on us, you just do it. That was the biggest revelation, that rope that EA gives you; they don't second-guess you, they don't say you shouldn't do that. We had complete creative control over a lot of it; some fans didn't like some of it and some of it was experimental, quite frankly.
The one caveat is at the end of the day for any company you have to run a profit, so you have to be thinking of things that actually make you profitable. So while you're taking all these creative risks in trying crazy stuff you almost have to simultaneously focus on the bottom line. The top line is not enough. In some ways, being independent I would say we had to be more conservative - being part of a big company, you could be more aggressive and try stuff. I think that's something people [struggle with] when they join EA; they do too much or they do too little."
Don't forget that when Warhammer launched, it had a LOT of empty servers. And i'm not talking about servers being filled up the first day or two then people leave, i'm talking about empty servers from the start that never filled up. Mythic assumed they were going to get a lot more players then they actually did. AND they assumed they were going to hold on to those players a lot longer then they actually did. They assumed they were going to be the next WoW in terms of popularity but their bad planning and bad coding ultimately brought their demise.

I have enjoyed this class a lot and learned much. I really wanted 3 things from this class, creating working forms, embedding videos, and what HTML5 is all about. Embedding videos was pretty straight forward and Vimeo was easy to use. HTML5 worked in the newest gadgets and I guess that is the future. Image maps was totally new to me and fun to learn...Again, I have really had fun with this class. It has improved my skills and for an old lady (84), that is a great accomplishment.
Thanks for being our instructor for the past 12 lessons. Even though I've been designing websites for about as long as you have, this course contained a lot of material that was new to me. I've also been too lazy to create my own forms -- but no more. You've cured me. Thanks most of all for the exposure to HTML5!
Thank you. This was the first time I have taken an online class. I liked the pace and convenience. My absolute favorite chapter was on the mobile-media, using the 2 style sheets. Very cool.
I found this course to be a great introduction to designing with CSS and HTML5. I will be looking for other courses to take me to the next level in each of these…We had a great instructor. He really knows his business first hand and does a tremendous job of guiding us from the most basic tasks to the pro level of design.
This is the second course I have taken and I plan on taking a few more…The instructor is great, information is up to date and useful…I have spent hours trying to research the things taught in this course via Google and other means…The way these courses are laid out and presented make them an unbeatable value. Also, doing them in your own time is huge for people like myself with hectic schedules.
This course was written well and the instructor was knowledgable and friendly. This helped me better understand the new advances in web design as well as solidify some of the basics. Thank you!
I chose this course so I could upgrade my understanding and skill level and the course exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful to Dave Karlins for his excellent scope and guidance that always took into account a broad range of experiences while also approaching the material with an eye for humor and patience. I have already been spreading the good news about this course and this instructor--I am in the writing and editing business so a lot of my peers really need this kind of course. Thank you, Dave Karlins and ed2go. My career path has been repaved!
The course helped me to learn areas I was deficient in. For example, I needed to learn a little more about the layout of web pages, and this course makes an excellent presentation in that area. I also needed to learn about developing web pages for cell phones and tablets, and this course taught me a lot there. In addition, I learned about video and HTML5. In the beginning, I questioned whether I should be taking this course because the early lessons were review. As the course continued, I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount I learned. The entire course is clearly written. I think it's a great course, and I'm glad I took it.
I absolutely loved this course. I have taken five courses and this has been my favorite.
This course was outstanding. I feel as though Mr. Karlins concentrated on the practical and useful elements involved in web design. I believe that I walked away from this course with much more knowledge in what counts in web design. I appreciate and thank David Karlins for his time and knowledge and for creating such a cool course.

The best thing you can do for a good knife is to keep it sharp, and the best way to sharpen it is to use a whetstone or water stone. That's how professional knife sharpeners do it (usually,) and this video is a simple, quick walkthrough of how to do it at home.
We've shown you how to keep knives sharp before, and even discussed why water stones are best, but this crash course is quick, fast, and gets to the point. In most cases the most the average person at home can do is either hone their blade with a honing steel, which straightens and lines up the blade's edge, but it doesn't sharpen it. Alternatively you could run it through a handheld or electronic sharpener, but depending on the model you use it can do more harm than good.
A good whetstone and a little practice will keep all of your knives sharp and in perfect condition. The beauty is that it doesn't take much effort to learn, just a good bit of practice to get the angle right and keep a consistent angle while you're sharpening. Whetstones are available in department stores or online, and while they range in price based on the fineness of the grit, this thread at eGullet can help you pick a good grit to start with.

Thank you everyone for thr nice comments on my cherries and
th Elephant painting/drawing.
Marsha I used "Jaxon water soluble oil pastels on the
Geri regarding the pink on the elephant, It's a girl! ;)
Susan don't you hide your artwork behind anybodies.
Different medium, different artist, different style, different art!!!
Charlie nice tree with lots of different greens, Yeah,
spring time!!!
Jen nice sketch on the beach picture of you and your mom. I'm
hoping I will get to this photo too this month.
Jen your boat painting is looking great. I agree with Kim on
the colors,
Marsha your old skates are well done. Love the buckle and
the laces.
Sarah nice quick watercolour of your teapot. I can smell the
fresh brewed tea.
Kim, this is so cute how you have your daughter peek over
the table into Cezannes stil life.
Nealey, I know about the problem and since I had some
catching up to do I wrote the stuff in word first. So if this post will go POOF
I have a backup.Hope you are feeling better and are up to do arts again.
Sarah, your boat I couldn't enlarge, but I like the blues
and grey's (brown?) you used.
Jen, you are realy busy this month, good for you. The pose oft
he iceskater looks perfect.The produce stands are not abstract but are fitting
right in with the warm sunny days we are having over here too. What means
garden work no painting for me.
Karen, you did this inbetween all your oils, very nice. I
like the reflexion oft he ducks in the water.
C&C always welcome
Since we didn't had much snow for cross country skiing I stayed home and painted, my husband went downhill skiing with the boys.
The mountains were behind clouds most of the time so I had to paint other things. I took my pigments and started 3 egg temperas. On the last day we had this beautiful weather.
My vacation studio with the window started in egg tempera.
Karen, thank you for fitting in this WC in between all your oil painting. This is lovely and maybe a little more dark in the bg would set the ducks off. WC is like a foreign language to me and after oils would be an adjustment I think you have done a fine job on the ducks and reflections.
Claudia, thank you for your nice comments. It is 81 degrees outside and sunny, my windows are open and art is calling! I' ll take it while it lasts. As soon as the sun comes out after the grey Winter I feel like dancing. As this would be a truly awful sight I draw and paint instead!:) I just have pots and grass so can't get distracted by gardening.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Claudia, we cross posted. What a beautiful place to paint. I would have had to paint the mountains! Lovely start on the window. Glad you had a beautiful day too!
Marsha ~ lovely drawing of the cherub & the skates...of course all your drawings are well done!
Charlie ~ I like your painting of the tree, although I agree with geri about the centering.
Claudia & Susan ~ both of you painted good cherries, each in her own style.
Kim ~ You have much improved the Cezanne painting! Love your little girl - it's a great composition & painted well.
Sarah ~ I love both of your WCs! The teapot makes me reminisce and you boat scene is very clean & light, if you know what I mean!
Jen ~ you have been very busy with all the drawings you posted! They just get better & better..I esp. like your boat studies. Your boat PAINTING is wonderful. I like the colors & the scene has an overall peachy cast, looking like morning or evening. Very well done.
Forgive me if I missed any of you from the beginning of this month - my mind is a bit "addled" lately.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Claudia ~ Thank you for thinking of me! The stitches in my mouth are healed & I am FINALLY scheduled for surgery on my face next Friday. It is basil cell carcinoma but not very large. I asked Dr. if he could do both sides of my "eyebags" for symmetry! HAHA he said I can go to Buffalo for that. These guys have no sense of humor. It seems like everything has been in slow motion lately....I'm still looking at my lock drawing - not quite happy with it yet!
Enough of me.....
Claudia, I forgot to comment on your elephant. She is sweet looking & I like her pink. I rode an elephant once & they are so much BIGGER when you are sittin on top! Your vacation photo is wonderful, showing the background mts. & your artwork in the window. Glad you had a good time.
Karen I'm glad you attempted the ducks in WC - something new!
Jen your skater drawing is well done. I saw a lot of Olympics too. Some of their costumes were fantastic! Your painting of the produce stands is very colorful - it caught my eye too with all the bright colors.
This is from the "LOCKS" photo.
8" x 8" graphite & charcoal pencils
Nealey, excellent drawing of the locks. I am so glad you tried this one. I always change my drawings into black and white on Photoshop as it shows up better.
I hope you are feeling better after all the surgery.
Thank you for the nice words about my boat.
Well today I tried the Hacky sacks! Sort of abstract right!
5x7 oil Still got a bit to do.
While painting today we had banging and scraping going on which while disturbing was such a good thing. We finally have, almost, a repaired and painted barrack. restored to look like it did originally, other than the handicap ramp demanded by the City! So I thought I would show the change. Before it was peeling and full of holes and rotting wood now as you see. Something to be proud of. All we need now is a proper metal fire escape (as demanded by the City)
Claudia You sure had a beautiful place to paint. Your painting of the window looks great so far.
Kim very nice watercolor. I love how you placed your daughter in the scene.
Sarah nice work on the teapot and boat. I reall like the tree line and bridge.
Jen your sketch of the skater looks great. She does look a little timid on the ice. Nice finish on the boat. Your rose is wonderful. You sure captured the fruit stand on the side of the road. Nice work on the haki sacs. I love your studio space.
Neally your locks have great detail.
Jen, Claudia, Nealy thank you for the comments on my watercolor attempt. Jen I see you what you mean about the bg but was starting to make a mess and thought I need to stop.
C&Cs always welcome
Nealey you're a master with the graphite, love the locks.
Jen,good start on the haki sacs.
5x8 watercolor on yupo This my first post, Fred has been instructing me.
5x7 watercolor on yupo "seaweed"
Jen ~ Thank you for your thoughts on my drawing. Sometimes I print the photos out in B & W too.
Your Hackey Sack painting is so fun, nice & bright!
Thanx for sharing your studio photos. I'm jealous!!! Nice place to hang out AND NO SNOW!!!!!
Karen & Claudia ~ THANK YOU for taking time to comment on my LOCKS drawing - much appreciated.
TO FRED'S BETTER HALF ~ I commented on your first painting in the Chatter; still nice!! So is your seaweed painting on YUPO paper. I picture you & "Bernie" side by side at your easels, throwing paint around! The family that plays together........

Car Magazine has published pictures of the M1 undergoing cold weather testing in Scandinavia. While the guys at Car Magazine are assuming that this is a mule for the next gen 1-series coupe (F2x), its safe to say this actually is an M1 prototype. Why? The very same car was spotted around the BMW M headquarter in Garching (near Munich) before: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311113
Best regards,
Would naming the upcoming 1-series "M" model as an M1 be sacrilege or natural and appropriate? Cast your vote now.
Now that the BMW M1 has been confirmed, the natural next question would be: What's on everyone's M1 wishlist (performance, features, options)? Come share your list.
Autocar reports that the BMW M1 has been green lighted! Sales will begin mid-2011 and it will be powered by a turbocharged straight six motor estimated to produce around 350hp.
EVO Mag further confirms a high performance 1-series is coming, and a BMW supercar. The question is which will be called the new BMW M1.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

A court-appointed receiver has announced plans to market and auction Compass Academy, the 53,000-square-foot school co-founded by Jonathan "Jay" Brooks, who has been accused of illegally selling unregistered securities to fund it.
Receiver Sherri Lydon has selected Leonardi Bracken Real Estate to market the property, which is 70 percent complete, according to a press release provided by the real estate company.
The property on Toolebeck Road, which was meant to serve as a private school, is currently on the market for $1.5 million until an auction date is established. The auction is tentatively scheduled for late October.
"We believe the facility will be of tremendous benefit to the Aiken community, but we simply do not have the funds to complete construction," Lydon stated in the press release.
Lydon, an attorney based in Columbia, was selected as the receiver of all frozen assets belonging to Compass Academy, Jay Brooks, his wife Tracy Brooks and related companies.
Jay Brooks and his companies, J. Brooks Financial and Brooks Real Estate Holdings, are accused by the state Attorney General's office of illegally selling unregistered securities to fund the establishment of Compass Academy.
The Brookses have also been accused by the Securities Division of the Attorney General's office of using those funds to buy groceries, their home and vacations and jewelry, rather than investing the funds as promised.
Jay Brooks also is facing multiple civil lawsuits.
Once the date of Compass Academy's auction is confirmed, the opening bid will be disclosed, according to Dan Bracken, president of Leonardi Bracken Real Estate.
"We'll certainly reach out to every school in and around Aiken, but we'll also seek a broader market. We believe the building has the potential to be used in a number of ways. For example, it could be used as a church, a nursing home or a conference center for a large corporation. Mrs. Lydon has given us one task, and that is to work hard to return as much money to the investors as we can," Bracken said in the press release.
Interested parties can learn more about the auction and property by visiting www.chooseauction.com or calling Dan Bracken at 800-576-7653.

Convinced it will never happen to you? Just how cavalier are you with those identifying slips of paper and credit card receipts? Find out by taking this quiz.
You get a credit card offer, student loan statement, or credit card statement in the mail. When you're done with it, you
a) Just throw it in the trash
b) Store it away for years
c) Shred it
True or false: You leave tons of personal information on your e-mail system at work.
a) True
b) False
Which of the following is a signal that someone has stolen your identity?
a) You round a corner and come face-to-face with someone who looks exactly like you -- just like the movie Face/Off with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.
b) You wake up and you just don't feel like yourself.
c) Your spouse opens the credit card bill and notices a $2,000 charge for the ''Hedonism III'' resort -- and except for that bachelor party years ago, you've never set foot inside the place.
Some of the ways that thieves can use your identity:
a) Obtain a new credit card account in your name. When they use the credit card and don't pay the bills, the delinquent account is reported on your credit report.
b) They establish cellular phone service in your name.
c) They call your credit card issuer and, pretending to be you, change the mailing address on your credit card account. Then, your imposter runs up charges on your account.
d)They open a bank account in your name and write bad checks on that account.
e) You responded to an Internet or AOL account update request. If you receive an e-mail request that appears to be from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) stating that your "account information needs to be updated" or that "the credit card you signed up with is invalid or expired and the information needs to be re-entered to keep your account active," do not respond without checking with your ISP first.
f) Any of these
True or false: You regularly write or call companies to be added to their privacy ''opt-out'' list -- requesting they not share, trade or sell your personal information on mailing lists.
True or false: You have your Social Security number and phone number printed on checks.
Identity theft can occur when:
a) Your neighbor steals your newspapers.
b) Personal information such as a Social Security number or a driver license number is stolen and used to open new credit card accounts, obtain loans or make purchases.
c) Your mail is pilfered from garbage.
d) Answers b or c.
True or false: You always fill out the information on warranty cards and send them back as postcards.
True or false: You have frank discussions with your accountant and employer about where and how your financial information and personnel files are maintained.
True or false: You don't make much of an effort to buy from secured Web sites, or large ''brand name'' Web sites. You have no idea how to even check such a thing.
You pay for a meal at a restaurant with a credit card. What do you do with the receipt?
a) Throw it in the trash or leave it there.
b) Stuff it in your wallet, figuring you'll file it later.
c) Tear it up so that no one can read account numbers or expiration dates and pay extra special attention to the person who is handling your credit card.
True or false: If you're a victim of identity theft, you can deduct your losses from fraud, or any books you purchase to help you solve the problem.
When cleaning out old financial or personal file folders, you:
a) Just file it all in the circular file and forget about it.
b) Clean out files? HA!
c) Shred anything you wouldn't feel comfortable having someone pick up and read.
You would describe a shredder as:
a) A really great surfer.
b) A service that collects your important financial, credit card or classified documents and disposes or recycles them.
c) A device that strip-cuts, cross-cuts or disintegrates your important financial, credit card, and classified documents.
d) Answers b and c.

b) Check for inaccuracies or unauthorized charges when you go to obtain credit or buy a home.
c) Obtain copies of your credit report at least once a year and check for inaccuracies such as unauthorized charges or fraud.
When paying bills, you:
a) Keep the credit card companies in business by paying a lot of late fees.
b) Miss a bill here and there, maybe have a 30-day late payment.
c) Stay on top of your finances, especially bill due dates, so you'll know immediately if a bill's missing. Know the onus is yours to check with the credit card company immediately to see where the missing bill is.
When it comes to your Social Security number, you
a) Just give it out when someone asks.
b) Carry it with your wallet, right next to the driver license.
c) Protect it. Only give it out when necessary and avoid companies that use the Social Security number as an account number.
If your wallet is missing and feared stolen, the first thing you do, after calling police, is
a) Figure the thief may return it; wait to hear from the police.
b) Look for copies of credit card and bank phone numbers, which you have stored and listed separately.
c) Call your credit card companies and bank; close your accounts immediately. Open new accounts with new PINs.
d) Contact the credit bureaus fraud alert hotline, and tell them to watch for possible fraud on your account. This should alert credit grantors to check with you before approving new loans or cards in your name.
e) Answers b, c and d.
True or false: A credit reporting agency will not remove inaccurate information from a credit report unless a creditor says to do so, and does not judge the accuracy of the data it stores. Identity-theft victims must contact creditors and credit agencies individually.
a) True
b) False
True or false: You regularly give out personal information on the phone or online to businesses with which you are not familiar.
True or false. A credit-monitoring system will examine your credit report monthly for problems and send you reports.

It's not smart business to pay a fighter $200k-300k each fight when they have no momentum behind them (0-5 combined in their most recent outings). Guys getting cut isn't just about rankings. It's about their performance compared to the return on the investment. Wonder why James Toney didn't get a second fight even though his only loss was to an immortal MMA legend? Not worth the money he's asking to try to sell his next fight coming off that performance.
In the NFL, for example; when teams are making cuts at the end or preseason, you're more likely to see a solid starter get released if he's making $6mil a year but the team thinks he's worth $4mil, than you are to see his backup get released who's only making $500k.

Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -

I think as soon as this match was booked we all knew it was a "you're fired" match. Mir is probably better off in the broadcast booth anyway. I still want to see 'Reem get wrecked by Dos Santos before he's done.
Reem is obviously the big favorite, but damn, he was also a huge favorite against BigFoot and Browne.
If Overeem loses for sure he will get cut. If Mir loses I am not sure that he will get fired. He has lost to Top 5 fighters and he has been a UFC fighter so many years.
So maybe, they will give him one last chance.
If they fire him, Bellator will be so happy to announce their new HW superstar in their already super stacked HW division LOL
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
I can't see them cutting either guy. I think Frank stays under contract and goes into the booth, and they'd be worried about another org picking up AO. I'd bet they'd try to restructure his contract--he may quit, like Werdum did--but I don't see them cutting him.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Mayor Gus Wilson changed the order of business for the June 17 committee meeting to allow Fire Chief Max Wood the opportunity to attend his next meeting of the evening at the fire station.
Wood asked the council members to allow a change in Gray's cadet program. He wants to charter an Explorer Post through the Boy Scouts of America. The program would allow youths, boys and girls, ages 16-18 to have fire safety training and serve as support for the volunteer firefighters.
The chief said the program can be marketed through the school and would cost the city $20 a year for an application fee. He explained one of the benefits of the program is the opportunity of mentoring youths who may become volunteer firefighters.
Lt. Keith Eisele, who actually started with the Gray Fire Department as a cadet, will head up the Explorer Post.

the most energy-efficent form of transport
When man invented the bicycle he reached the pinnacle of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for mans convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. - Elizabeth West
When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. - Arthur Conan Doyle
Vietnam was the land of the bicycle…before people decided that the motorcycle was the way of the future. This is a country designed around the use of the bicycle, the narrow lane ways and small bridges crossing streams and rivers abound in the country. People ride motorcycles because they are cheaper or "faster". In fact it is faster, and cheaper to ride to work in the traffic on a bicycle.

As the name would imply, XC (cross country) race wheels are about going fast. The wheel of choice for Specialized Racing riders on the World Cup circuit, the light weight leads to quick acceleration, lateral stiffness makes for snappy handling, while torsional stiffness counteracts brake wind-up.
Wheels designed to conquer the most technical terrain require the highest level of technology. These wheels need to be built to withstand high-speed runs through rock gardens and trail "features" that would give many riders pause.
If you ride in a pack at high speed or stick your nose into a stiff headwind for any length of time, you'll appreciate wheels engineered for aerodynamic efficiency. Extensive testing—in the wind tunnel and on the road—has helped us build wheels for real world performance
Many of us need one set of high performance road wheels to handle all kinds of conditions: climbing/descending, windy/calm, and rolling/flat. These are your go-to wheels when weight and versatility are critical.
