I have to say that those models are very impressive! :)
The Edain Mod aims to take you deeper into Middle-Earth than ever before and create a game worthy of Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's movies. In our quest for lore accuracy, visual quality and deeper gameplay, we overhauled every aspect of the original game to craft a new, immersive Lord of the Rings experience. Discover the new factions of Lothlorien and Rohan, field new units and heroes for each of the existing factions, enjoy a visual style closer to the movies and unleash the power of the One Ring with individual Ring heroes for every factions. Light or Shadow, Defender or Conqueror... the choice is yours.
Introducing the final member and leader of Thorin & Company, including a wallpaper of all thirteen Dwarves!
Posted by Lord_of_Mordor on Sep 25th, 2011
companions of Edain!
The week has come to an end, and thus it is time to present you with the last and most important member of Thorin & Company: The exiled king, Thorin Oakenshield himself!
Like his companions, Thorin has been carefully modelled after his movie design. We have given him the axe he wields in the group picture for now because the only picture of Orcrist we have does not show the entire blade. It was therefore insufficient to recreate this legendary weapon. We will of course remedy this as more pictures become available.
With Thorin, all Dwarven protagonists of The Hobbit are available to Ered Luin, as is Bilbo Baggins. The only missing member was Gandalf, who will be recruitable at the Inn in the next version. This way, you finally have the ability to lead the entirety of Thorin & Company. Their enemies Smaug and Bolg are available to the Misty Mountains faction, which should make for some exciting battles!
We'd like to conclude this week with a group shot of Thorin and his companions as they appear in the Edain Mod. We are very happy with how these heroes turned out and hope you will have fun leading them into battle!
For those of you who'd like to decorate their desktop with this latest addition to the Edain Mod, we also provide it as a wallpaper version in different sizes. Enjoy!
If you need it in another size than provided, just drop us a comment and we'll upload the picture in the requested size!
I have to say that those models are very impressive! :)
Indeed. Looking lovely...
yeah, looks great! very accurate!
Great job
Complete group from hobbit in the game :)
speaking of the dwarves, please tell me how to beat that giant dragon on the first campaign mission, im really stuck since a while :/

d-Cysteine-specific desulfhydrase is found in some intestinal bacteria. Escherichia coliW 3110 ΔtrpED 102/F′ΔtrpED 102 was found to have the highest enzyme activity. The enzyme was purified from E. coli W3110 ΔtrpED102/F′ΔtrpED 102 in six steps. After the last step the enzyme appeared to be homogeneous by the criteria of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation and double diffusion in agarose. The enzyme has a molecular mass of about 67000 Da and consists of two subunits identical in molecular mass. The enzyme exhibits absorption maxima at 278 nm and 418nm, which are independent of pH (6.5–10.5), and contains 2 mol pyridoxal phosphate/mol enzyme. The holoenzyme is resolved to the apoenzyme by incubation with phenylhydrazine, and reconstituted on the addition of pyridoxal phosphate. d-Cysteine desulfhydrase also catalyzes the β-replacement reaction of the chlorine of 3-chloro-d-alanine with thioglycolic acid to yield S-carboxymethyl-d-cysteine. Its catalytic and immunological properties are compared with those of 3-chloro-d-alanine dehydrochlorinase.

The first step in social media marketing is not social media
Apr 14th
I had an email from a young guy recently. He had just graduated from college and was lucky enough to land a marketing job with a multi-million-dollar B2B manufacturing company in the Midwest.
"I'm kind of overwhelmed," he wrote me, "I'm trying to get a social media program going and I really don't know where to start." So I set up a time so we could talk on the phone. Here's a synopsis of the call …
ME: So tell me about what you have done so far.
HIM: Well I am trying to set up a Facebook page and a blog.
ME: How do you know that should be your first priority?
HIM: What do you mean? Shouldn't I dive into social media for them? They have nothing set up.
ME: Well perhaps. But how do you know for sure? As the marketing manager, you have to help the business acquire customers. There are lots of ways to do that. Maybe you can do that with new products, new services, new ways to deliver your product or how you price your product. The job certainly doesn't start with a Facebook page.
HIM: Well I guess I did learn about those things in school.
ME: How many customers have you visited?
HIM: None so far.
ME: Four months on the job and you haven't visited a customer yet? OK. This is where you start your marketing initiative — Have a meeting with your boss tomorrow and tell him you need to spend the next week riding along on a delivery truck.
HIM: A week on the truck?
ME: Maybe two. Go see what your customers are doing. How are they using your products? What are their un-met and under-served needs? What do they love? What do they hate? How are they displaying and selling your product? What about your competitors? What problems can you solve for your customers?
HIM: That does make sense.
ME: This is really the beginning of the journey. You need to know your customers better than anybody. Then figure out where you can maneuver in the marketplace in a way that will help you sell more stuff and make more profit.
In your B2B business, the first priority probably isn't Facebook. If you're creating a marketing plan from scratch, social media might not be in your top five priorities at all if your competitors just lowered their price and you're getting hammered in the marketplace!
I wanted to bring this up today because I face questions like this all the time. Sometimes the first step in social media marketing … is NOT social media!
Just last week I had a conversation with a very large New York City company and I pleaded with them NOT to create a Facebook page (it was not what they needed to meet their goals).
We seem to be in a world where social media is a hammer looking for a nail. Social media marketing doesn't start with social media. It starts with marketing.

B2B Social Media Case Study: How I made $47 million from my B2B blog
Sep 18th
By Sander Biehn, {grow} Community Member
It's true.
I helped my company get $47 million in new business through a blog-centered social sales strategy. Here is our story.
Late in 2011, my company, AT&T, put together a new sales team to re-build business relationships with a Fortune 100 company in Atlanta. We decided to take an entirely new approach that heavily favored building relationships through social media. We HAD to try something new. Our relationship with this client had suffered in the past five years, creating strain between our executive offices. All sales had dried up.
With training from Mark Schaefer and support from our internal team, we began implementing a content strategy aimed at strategic "persons of interest" from our former customer.
This created unique new opportunities to discuss and connect away from the heat of the emotion between our companies. Slowly, we saw a thaw and a major shift in the relationship started. This led to productive conversations about the business solutions that were being discussed in the targeted content.
Inside of 18 months $47 million in brand new business was awarded to AT&T, directly attributable to our social media outreach.
Did that get your attention?
Good. Now let's cover how it actually worked — a successful social sales strategy.
The Social Sales Strategy
To make this work, we knew from the onset we would have to place exceptional content related to potential solutions in front of them. But what would that content be? To do this the sales team first looked at available AT&T solutions that were best suited to the customer's vertical market. There were a total of 10 solutions targeted. We needed to teach our customers about these unique opportunities in a helpful way.
We decided that the primary source of this new content would be AT&T's B2B blog, called Networking Exchange.
Of course putting content out there was not enough. We also had to let them know it was out there and build an audience. Making sure the content was viewed by "persons of interest" at the client was the next part of the strategy. To do this, we settled on leveraging two social sites that customers most likely frequented: Twitter and LinkedIn. By placing original content in front of budget owners we reasoned that AT&T would be viewed as a thought-leader and we would not only be invited to bid, but we would be pre-disposed to win these RFP's.
Content — One initial hurdle was finding exceptional content to put our technology in the right light. The content that existed was targeted at technologists, not business people, and often had too much of an AT&T sales slant. Our new effort needed to be focused more on the customer's business and discuss their problems in their vernacular.
To better align with this target group, we wrote entirely new posts customized to the customer and their roles. The content was not only approachable and business-focused, it was also personal to help us build relationships and encourage engagement with the authors. No ghost writing. We did the work.
Moving the Content — As Mark Schaefer preaches, content is only powerful if it moves. We needed to build a relevant network.
Our first move was Twitter, probably the fastest way to build a network. I first had to connect with Twitter users in our customer base. We used many of the tools covered in The Tao of Twitter to help us find relevant Twitter users and we employed many of these tactics.
I looked to connect not only with customers who had job functions in areas where I believed there was budget for our solutions, but we also targeted industry specialists. Routine engagement with this targeted group included re-tweets and replies to tweets that they sent. Additionally, when there was positive press about the customer I made sure to tweet that and mention key contacts congratulating them on their work to get on their radar screen.
I also tweeted relevant articles and blogs from the Network Exchange and elsewhere. Finally, I tried to engage these customers with the customized content from the blogs I wrote by not only tweeting it but also asking specific questions related to the content and mentioning the customers and people of interest from Twitter. I received engagement from the customers, who began to ask questions or agree or challenge points we made in the blogs.
I approached LinkedIn in a similar fashion by using well-established methods to find people in our customer base who performed the functions most likely to hold budget for the solutions we were targeting. I then examined the LinkedIn Groups that these people belonged to and correlated the groups between customers to find the groups most likely to have the largest base of potential customers attached. Sometimes these were industry groups or groups associated with the job functions or the even a group dedicated to employees of the customer.
The employee LinkedIn group for our customer had more than 5,000 members. After joining the groups I began to interact there. I joined discussion groups and posed questions and tried to bring in helpful solutions whenever possible. Also, I posted relevant articles and ideas from the industry and even from our competitors. Of course I was sure to post positive news about our customer and mention group members by name if they were involved with the news items.
Occasionally I dropped in our targeted blog content, which also elicited engagement when we asked questions and solicited opinions and ideas.
The reaction to our authentically helpful content and engagement was palpable. I began getting questions — and then requests to bid for projects — that mirrored the information we were providing on our 10 strategic solutions.
This was an enormous breakthrough. Remember that relations between our companies had been icy and not exactly conducive to business, Our social media presence was changing the relationship with the customer.
We were being regarded as an expert resource and we were building relationships with people from new departments that had been out of contact with us. They told us our approach was "refreshing" because we were building relationships without bombarding them with phone calls, emails and meetings (like the competition).
The ultimate proof of the power of social media marketing was that when these precious bids came to us, we were no longer outsiders. We had the inside track to win these bids because the RFPs appeared to have been written based on the proprietary information they were gleaning directly from the blog posts I had been putting into the information eco-system.
In less than 18 months from the moment we started our social media strategy, we were awarded $47 million in new business, all of it directed to the 10 target solutions we had strategized from the beginning.
I'd love to hear your comments on our case study in the comment section!

3 fundamentals of a successful social selling strategy
Jul 15th
One of the most pervasive mantras on the social web is "don't sell." And it is certainly true that anybody out there shilling every day on Facebook and Twitter is going to lose a lot of friends.
But sometimes, you have to sell … especially if your job is in sales! In fact, in some way, every single employee can be a beacon for your brand and contribute to a holistic selling effort if they have an active presence on the social web. So today I wanted to step back and look at how social media can be aligned with a pure selling effort.
1) Tear down the digital divide
The first thing we need to do is re-frame the social sales strategy to adapt to this new channel.
Here is precisely how social media fits into the big picture: It provides the opportunity to listen, learn, and create consistent, small content provocations that can lead to awareness, engagement, and eventually trust. Now if somebody came to you offering this service to you wouldn't you sign up right away?
Here's the good news. It's free, it's tested, and it is the most powerful personal networking opportunity ever created — social media. The problem is, when many sales people enter the digital space they forget what made them successful in the first place. They turn into broadcasters and mindless tweet machines.
Step one. Take a deep breath and approach digital relationships the same way you approach human relationships because those are still humans behind those little Twitter and LinkedIn photos. Connect to people in the same way you would in a live networking meeting or industry conference. Tear down the digital divide.
2) Adopt the social media mindset
When most people first start working on the social web, they see this as another channel to place their ads and press releases.
WRONG. People spend time on the social web to GET AWAY from your ads and press releases. So we need a new approach based on the core concept of The Tao of Twitter called The Social Media Mindset:
This is too big of a concept to flesh out in a short blog post but let me summarize it this way:
Meaningful Content is the catalyst that drives awareness and connection on the web.
We must actively seek a network of Engaged Connections who will ignite our content.
People will shun advertising but seek out people, companies and brands who are Authentically Helpful.
What would happen if you tried to differentiate yourself and embraced social helping instead of social selling?
3) Aligning with sales success factors
Now let's look at how social media can align with the very factors that are making you successful in your human business relationships today. In addition to being an ambassador for the company and and advocate for the customer, there are also some personal characteristics that I admire in the best sales people.
- Intensely tuned to customer needs
- Responsive and helpful
- Proactive — Anticipating issues before they happen
- Dedicated to building a personal relationship based on integrity and trust.
How does social media align with each of these traits?
Tuning in to customer needs
If a customer is active on social media, it's likely they are reaching out to colleagues — maybe on a LinkedIn Group, maybe in a professional chat board, maybe even on Twitter — for help on business issues. Most CRM systems today provide some sort of summary of your customer social media activity so you can get a sense of what's going on before you make a sales call.
You probably don't have the time and money to visit your customer every week or every month. But through social media, we can provide a drip, drip, drip of helpful communications to let customers know we're there, we're listening, we care.
The other day I noticed a customer LinkedIn update stating that they were looking forward to attending a professional conference in Boston. Since I had just returned from Boston, I was able to provide a recommendation on great restaurant. I also knew of a friend who was attending the same conference who would be an important new business connection for my customer. I never could have provided this proactive service without paying attention to the social media stream.
Even if customers are not active in this space, the social web is an unbelievable opportunity to tune in to industry leaders, competitors, and authorities to stay on top every development, opportunity and crisis as it is happening.
Integrity and trust
Last year I had the honor of having a lengthy discussion with Dr. Robert Cialdini, the acclaimed author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. I asked him, in a cluttered, information-dense marketplace, how do we stand out? His answer was wise and disarmingly simple. "Be more human."
We buy from those we know and trust. We always have. The social web is a historic opportunity to connect with people far beyond your normal network and show what you're made of.
I've had a lot of interest in social selling and tomorrow I'm going to publish a post that answers the question — What is the social sales strategy when our customers don't use social media? I think the answer may surprise you!
Well, I've floated a few ideas to think about as you approach "social selling" in your company. How are you using social media in your sales strategy?

Are B2B companies that refuse to engage in social media facing extinction?
Aug 1st
That's the short answer to a question that was posed to me in Focus (which seems quieter and more manageable than Quora). It got my attention because it is a question I often hear in my classes too. Instead of preaching fear and pontificating about social media as the Second Coming of B2B Marketing, let's look at this another way.
Social media is growing fast, but it's no longer new. If social media were such a dominating competitive force that non-users would be threatened with extinction, wouldn't we be seeing some signs of that by now?
In fact, I am struggling to recall one case study where a B2B company used social media to dominate a market and extinguish a competitor … and I watch for these things.
I really like Eric Qualman's inventive Social Media Revolution videos — I even show them in my classes some times. But there is one phrase in there that makes me cringe: "The ROI of social media is that you will be in business five years from now."
Oh puhleeeze. Let's see. Eric's first edition of this video came out in 2009 which means we are less than two years aways from the Social Media Armageddon. I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to change my vacation plans just yet.
Social media marketing can undoubtedly be used in very meaningful and powerful ways but I don't think it is necessarily a "let's bet the ranch" investment that is going to transform very many B2B marketplaces. And let's not forget the powerful applications for HR, PR, and many other parts of the company. I'm an advocate and think every company should make an informed decision about how these tools integrate with current efforts and can create some new ones.
Yes, it's big, it's bad, it ain't going away. And I'm all over the value selling perspective. But let's not lose sight of the fact that a ton of business in this world is still won and lost at the end of a negotiation by the company who is prepared to knock off another penny per unit, especially in these economic times. That can kill a business faster than an inactive Twitter account.
I also think it's difficult to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage based on a social media strategy. The entry barriers are low and it would be pretty easy for competitors to mimic efforts.
If you're selling ball bearings to Ford you're probably not going to tweet your way to long-term success, right?
What do you think? Are you seeing any non-tech B2B businesses storming the fort with social media marketing successes?

You have some nice work here. I really like your sketches of the puppies. You seem to capture their emotions in the sketches really well. Also your sketches of people are nice too. You do a good job on the faces. Also the last picture you posted is pretty good. I think the color is nice on that one.
Thanks Blue Star, I appreciate it.
Yesterday and today's stuff so far. I was looking at some of the artwork I posted here on my old account, I might go ahead and recreate one or two for the sake of comparison. Maybe.
tons of studies are always a good thing looking good so far - the real win for me with pages of studies is after a few months when i can compare the first pages with the last - usually improvement is there somewhere. keep at it

'Sex Signals' teach about preventing sexual assault
April 2, 2012
By Staff Sgt. Cody Harding (IMCOM)
Related Links
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea -- Sexual Assault is a serious offense. The Military has zero tolerance for sexual assault. An assault can degrade the abilities of a unit, sow distrust among its members and keep the unit from being able to perform at their best to accomplish the mission.
The Leadership of the Army has made training against sexual assault one of its priorities, and has spent time and money on the I AM Strong Campaign, which encourages Soldiers to Intervene, Act and Monitor against sexual assault. To help this new campaign, the Army has invited 'Sex Signals', an improvisation/sketch comedy act that concentrates on sexual assault training, to teach Soldiers across the Army.
Sex Signals made its debut on Yongsan Garrison as a part of their overall South Korean tour, March 27, 28 and 30 at the Yongsan Movie Theater. Judith Lesser and Chris Sanders, one of the 'couples' who present the training, held multiple classes to allow the units of Yongsan to rotate through and get educated on the matter at hand. Soldiers sat next to senior leadership, from colonels to sergeants, for the Army-Wide mandatory training.
Addison Elliott, the Installation Victim Advocate, said that the training offers something different for the Soldiers than what they would normally have for training.
"Everyone's tired of having a slide deck, they're tired of having someone stand up and be lectured to," Elliott said, mentioning the dreaded 'Death by PowerPoint'. "They use Sex Signals because it's a little bit racy, a little bit crude sometimes, but that's the reality for a lot of these Soldiers."
The show began with an improvisation skit, taking in suggestions from the audience for what their 'characters' should act like, including pick-up lines. Even though the Soldiers in the audience tried to throw the presenters off with random suggestions, they made their way through the first skit without a problem.
The skit then broke down into a discussion over its content, bouncing ideas and review off the Soldiers in the audience. This branched out into other topics, which led into a separate skit.
The skits often hit on harder topics like female sexuality, appearances and expectations for both sexes, and how we tend to forgive certain people for their actions. As with each skit, crowd participation was encouraged, and discussions often ran longer than the skits themselves.
The training moved from using alcohol as a tool in sexual assault to how the Military's reporting process worked. They covered how reporting differs from Restricted, which is meant to keep the details personal and private, to Unrestricted, which leads into an investigation and formal charges against an offender.
After the show, Lesser and Sanders said that the Yongsan crowd was one of the most receptive audiences they've worked with.
"People are very willing to talk and give their opinions," Lesser said concerning the crowd. "Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, but people are wanting to have that conversation."
"Yongsan has been the most, when we get to the discussion part of the training, interactive discussion," Sanders added. "So much so that all of our shows have run long, and we've had to end it. We usually have an actual ending, just some quick scenes, but we've had to drop that and say 'Sorry, guys, we're out of time!'".

text: I'm thinking all versions of the pentax 67 require a battery and film loaded to operate but they are a tank . I will disclose my partiality to pentax it's my brand of choice.I use afilm kx and 645, the only reason I got the 645 over a 67 is I got it at about 1/2 the price of a decent 67.The fact the 645 needs 6 aa batteries to operate is no more an issue than the sr44 battery in the kx . I look at it this way 6 aa's take up the same room as 2 rolls of 120 if I don't have spare batteries the 2 more rolls of film are not going to be any use anyway. Having owned a rangefinder form the FSU as a rule i would not depend on anything made in the former soviet union to work reliably.Sometimes they do sometimes they don't pay your money and take your chances.

When a male or something with nuts submerges their testicles into a cup of warm water while their partner blows profusely through a straw that has been inserted into the cup creating a jacuzzi affect. For added pleasure the penis is usually wildly jerked with the blowers free hand until ejaculation.

The loss for the financial quarter ending March 31 was narrower than a $3.2 billion loss for the same period last year, thanks to slightly higher revenues and lower payments towards health benefits for workers who will retire in the future.
But the post office continues to lose money at a rapid pace due to a decline in mail volume and a Congressional requirement that it make advance payments to cover expected health care costs for future retirees.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says the post office is considering its options, including another possible increase in prices.

DAAPCamps Scholarships and Financial Aid
Scholarships and Financial Aid
A limited number of partial scholarships based on merit are available to those who qualify. To be considered for a scholarship, students should supply the following materials with your camp forms, to be received at DAAP no later than April 15, 2015:
a cover sheet which includes:
Name, Address, Name and Address of High School, Grade Level entering for the 2015-2016 school year, Are you a member of a DAAP Alliance School Group?, Are there DAAP graduates in your immediate family? Often we have scholarship donors who wish to provide scholarships to certain racial, gender or ethnic groups. Please also indicate this information in your scholarship cover sheet in case this is the situation for scholarship distribution this year.
- a letter of recommendation from a school teacher or counselor
- a copy of your most recent high school transcript (for scholarship & financial aid only, does not have to be a sealed copy, can be a standard copy)
- a 500-word essay addressing one of the two following prompts:
Please describe how the design of an object, a building, an interior space, or a city has had a positive/significant impact on people.
how the presence of art has had a positive/significant impact on people.
For either prompt, please provide a specific example of well-known design or artwork (such as a famous building, painting, sculpture, or a popular object, fashion design, etc.), describing specifically how that piece supports your thesis statement.
Please provide and discuss only one example. Do not use your own work as your example.
Financial aid is set aside for DAAPcampers with demonstrated need. Financial aid is different than a scholarship in that it intends to address financial need. To apply for financial aid, please provide the three items listed above, plus a statement of the family's financial need. The statement of financial need is a confidential statement, in letter format, from the student explaining the unique situation. No financial records are required.
Please be advised that all scholarships and financial aid determination decisions are final. Each award amount is determined on a case-by-case basis, as evaluated by the DAAPcamps' Scholarship Panel using
student-supplied information. The Scholarship Panel is made up of camp leadership team members, faculty, and DAAP administration.
All received funds are expected to be used toward DAAPcamps' tuition only. Of course, applying for a scholarship or financial aid does not guarantee you'll receive funds. If you think you will be unable to attend DAAPcamps without financial assistance, please note this in your application forms. Once awards are distributed, if it becomes apparent that you are unable to attend, your deposit will be returned and your award will be redistributed to other students.

Tampa, Florida - New York Giants' quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan, is the Bucs' new offensive coordinator, the team announced Friday night.
Sullivan had been with the Giants for the past 8 seasons ... the last 2 as quarterbacks coach, tutoring Eli Manning, and the previous 6 as wide receivers coach.
"We're very fortunate to hire someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive coaching staff," said head coach Greg Schiano. "He is a man of character, and a complete football coach who fits with the kind of football team we're building here."

Matt's Inside Line: Exclusive Fringe Scoop, Plus The Mentalist, Hart of Dixie, Suburgatory & More!
Matt's Inside Line: Exclusive Fringe Scoop, Plus The Mentalist, Hart of Dixie, Suburgatory & More!
Is the Fringe team in for a future shock? Has The Mentalist gone wild? What on Earth has Hart of Dixie's Wade been up to? Suburgatory romance squashed? Read on for those scoops plus other teases from TV's hottest shows.
Fringe | We kick things off with no less than an exclusive video pertaining to this week's curiosity-arousing 19th episode, titled "Letters of Transit." By pressing PLAY below, you'll get to see Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Anna Torv, Lance Reddick and Jaskika Nicole tease the trippy hour in grand fashion, save for some skritchy-skratchy "interference" that interrupts Noble at a most inopportune moment. Check it out and squee:
The Mentalist | Next, we take a trip to the reader mailbag, where Luis clamors for "scoop on The Mentalist. Anything you can tell me will work!" Well, rather than settle for "any" scoop, how about some juicy goodness regarding the season finale? "It's a big one," Owain Yeoman promises us, adding: "Jane really does go off the reservation." And along the way, the CBI consultant might take someone surprising down with him, literally. "I can say that he will end up shooting…." Er, actually, we'll save Owain's bacon and cut him off there. But he does go on to say the shooting "is a really, really big deal for us" and part of "our most action-packed finale to date." As for the Vegas cocktail waitress being played by Emmanuelle Chriqui, looks like she'll be a far cry from Entourage's well-heeled Sloane. "She is kind of representative of Jane at his lowest point," says Yeoman, "so there's a whole side of him that we're going to see that we haven't seen."
Private Practice | If you're among the many PPP fans who emailed me to ask if the whole Mason sitch might give Charlotte the itch to carry her own child, know that KaDee Strickland is one of you. "I pray that [series creator] Shonda [Rhimes] let's Charlotte want her own child, because I think that would be so much fun," the sunny Southerner told me. "But only Shonda can accept that invitation from the audience." One story beat that titillates Strickland most? "Can you imagine Charlotte pregnant?" she asks. "Let's just talk about that for a minute!"
Hart of Dixie | Inside Line reader Amanda declares, "I'm dying here — have you got any good Zoe and Wade news?" Hmm, Zoe and Wade? I will leave that up for interpretation as I part with this preview of Monday'e episode: Says TVLine's Meg Masters, "If you've ever wondered what The Hangover and a musical revue would look like all jumbled together, this week's episode is for you." Elaborating on that intriguing first part, she says, "Wade wakes up with no recollection of the night before and must piece together the events based on a number of clues." So the question for you, Amanda, becomes: Was Zoe in any way a part of those missing moments?
Suburgatory | Now that George and Alicia Silverstone's Eden are giving romance a go, the question becomes: What will Tessa think of her dad wooing a pregnant surrogate? Interestingly, Jeremy Sisto tells us, "Her reaction to it is pretty disconnected. She just kind of goes pretty extreme in this other direction." Instead, any viewers who were holding out for a George/Dallas romance might be the ones to bristle most at this development. Says Sisto, "The potential relationship between Dallas and George might possibly be slipping through their fingers… [and] that will be kind of tough to watch if you are rooting for them to get together."

Adobe offers public beta of Photoshop Express
updated 12:30 am EDT, Thu March 27, 2008
Photoshop Express beta
Adobe on Thursday morning released Photoshop Express public beta, a free internet-based application that easily and quickly edits and applies non-destructive digital effects to photos. As a beta product, Adobe promised it would solicit user feedback on product features and functionality and continue to evolve the product over time. The application leverages Adobe's image editing technology and allows users to store up to 2GB of images online for free, make edits to photos, and share them online with using social networking site such as Facebook. The free service, which offers a variety of photo management tools, is available online as a beta product, but the company did not provide any details on a final release date.
The online application allows users to make standard edits, such as removing blemishes and red-eye, converting to black and white, cropping and resizing, and much more. In addition, the software offers functions such as Pop Color which selects an object in an image, mutes the background color of the photo and allows the user to swap the object's color so it "jumps off the page." Other sketch-effects tools help enable photos to look like drawings and a Distort feature can distort facial features or objects within the images for a comical or artistic effect.
Adobe's Photoshop Express also offers a variety of sharing options, including uploading and showing off photos and slideshows in an online "Gallery" hosted by Adobe, or conveniently embedding or linking photos to social networking sites and personal blogs without having to leave the application. Slideshows options include animation that "makes photos float and fly across the screen, allowing for viewer interactivity and unique presentation styles."
"Photoshop Express is the latest step Adobe is taking to leverage the advanced technology that underpins its award-winning creative products and deliver it to new online communities," the company said. "In early 2007, Adobe also announced the availability of Adobe Premiere Express, an online video editing and mash-up tool on partner sites such as MTV and Photobucket. Adobe Premiere Express leverages the functionality found in Premiere Elements, a fully-featured desktop video editing program."
Adobe said an Internet connection and an up-to-date Flash Player 9 are required for the public beta, but it is available to US residents-only in English. The company warned that users may experience slow performance if accessed outside of the US. Future plans include availability in other languages and countries.

Gareth Bale should leave Tottenham - Marcel Desailly
Marcel Desailly believes Gareth Bale should leave Tottenham to play for a club that "has a culture of victory".
Welshman Bale, 23, is touted as a summer transfer target for Real Madrid.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas says it is vital for the club to keep the double Player of the Year.
But Desailly, the former France and AC Milan star, told BBC Sport Wales: "He should go, he should just go. Tottenham will not give him the opportunity to play at a very high level."
Tottenham's failure to secure a Champions League place is seen as opening the door for Europe's biggest clubs to make a bid for Bale.
The winger's 21 goals helped propel Tottenham to a club record total of 72 points in the Premier League.
Marcel Desailly's pedigree
1998-2004: Chelsea - 156 appearances
1993-1998: Milan - 137 appearances
1992-1993: Marseille - 46 appearances
1986-1992: Nantes - 164 appearances
1993-2004: France - 116 caps
1998 - World Cup winner
2000 - Euro Championship winner
But they were pipped to fourth place and Champions League qualification by arch-rivals Arsenal, who beat Newcastle 1-0 on the final day of the season.
Bale, who is under contract until 2016, scored 31 goals in all competitions during the 2012-13 season, including four in six World Cup qualifying matches for Wales.
His performances saw him voted Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year, only the third time both awards have gone to the same player. He also won the Football Writers' award.
And Desailly, who is taking part in a Football Association of Wales coaching school in Newport, believes the time is right for Bale to sample top-flight football on the continent.
"There's no price for experience. I think it's the time for him to go," said the 116-times capped France international.
"He needs to discover, as [David] Beckham has done, that an English guy or a Welsh guy has the capacity to export himself.
"It's not a matter of money because he has [money] where he is at Tottenham - it's just the experience.
"Experience to play at a very high level at a club that has the culture of victory, a club that has trophies in the cupboard - not one or two, but plenty.
"To experience playing with other big players, to be maybe a second choice.
"To face difficulty, a new language for his family.
"It's a real change of life and an approach to life as a human being and as a soccer player."
*Listen to the full interview with Marcel Desailly on BBC Radio Wales' The Back Page programme on Saturday, 25 May at 08:30 BST

Watch a lot of football do you???
Comment number 408. Posted by royphishon 26 May 2013 13:08
Marcel Desailly? BBC Wales? Who are these people? Strangely enough the last time I watched Bale play he was part of the Wales side which lost 1-6 here in Serbia. I hope he stays at Tottenham but sadly loyalty is irrelevant in modern football.
Comment number 407. Posted by Wiselyon 26 May 2013 11:33
Who honestly cares what ex Chelsea boys think? Bore off no one one cares. Bale is happy and can grow at spurs, with spurs. Worry about the disgrace of a club that is Chelsea and not spurs. Coys
Comment number 406. Posted by East Anglianon 26 May 2013 11:09
Dessailly demonstrtates an all to common sentiment of many footballers these days in that he has absolutely no loyalty to a club and would rather buy in to success than create it. I would love to see Spurs keep Bale as I believe he is their foundation stone for better times ahead. Without him, it's back to the drawing board although they still need some more depth. His choice but I hope he stays.
Comment number 405. Posted by njsr1on 25 May 2013 20:51
Chelsea certainly won trophies. Desailly himself, not so much. A haul of 1 FA Cup and a Super Cup in his time at Chelsea. Does the Comminity shield really count?
Comment number 404. Posted by muzzyizzeton 25 May 2013 17:47
When he went to Chelsea they had so many trophies. Idiot, can't wait until Abrahamovic leaves Chelsea and they are struggle in the lower leagues like Leeds.
Comment number 403. Posted by njsr1on 25 May 2013 15:33
Desailly was no doubt a great player. But I'm not sure how seriously I can take his comments. As a Chelsea player he continually complained that the Italian league was superior to the Premier League. He moved from Milan to Chelsea at a time when Milan were on top. Was that for trophies or money? Maybe Bale feels a connection to the club, and believes they will win trophies.
Comment number 402. Posted by trojanon 25 May 2013 15:27
i just cant take to a player that dives (booked for it many times)
deceives the officials, fellow professionals and worse of all the paying public..
these types are ruining the game..
dishonest !
Comment number 401. Posted by grumpy177on 25 May 2013 15:23
@395: yeah would be nice if he played for Solihull Moors...but just can't see it myself. In reality class is purely subjective...but as a arsenal fan with those typically myopic/deluded views you probably just need to check the Oxford Dictionary before glibly applying to a footballer. Footballers today are largely transitory beings who come and go once they've earned their riches.
Comment number 400. Posted by MUFCon 25 May 2013 14:44
the only reason why arsenal fans call bale overrated is because he plays for their rivals. in basic words they just cant take the fact he is truly brilliant.

No new transfers would be allowed. Under the state plan, the transportation situation for transfer students would stay the same. Renovated Girls Inc. Center In North County Gives Girls More Opportunities By Tim Lloyd & Parth Shah • Jun 5, 2014 Parth Shah | St. Louis Public Radio Just in time for summer vacation, Girls Inc. of St. Louis unveiled its updated north St. Louis County facility today. The goal is expanding education opportunities for poor girls. The organization, which serves girls ages 5 to 17, provides both summer and after-school classes in subjects ranging from art to economic literacy. The upgraded 44,000-square-foot facility in Northwoods can serve up to 400 girls. Carole Basile, the dean of the college of education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said the programs provided help students stay sharp. Appointed Boards Hold Lessons For Normandy: Keep Sense Of Urgency Even When Change Is Slow By Dale Singer • Jun 2, 2014 UMSL website Lynn Beckwith remembers very well what happened on May 20, 2010, and how it set into motion a scramble to get the Riverview Gardens schools ready for the coming year. That was the day Beckwith was named to head the three-member special administrative board that is running the unaccredited north St. Louis County school district. Elected Board Members Criticize State Takeover By Dale Singer • May 30, 2014 (via Google Maps screen capture) Updated 2:23 p.m. Friday with DESE response on payment of tuition Members of the elected Normandy school board may soon be out of a job, but they made clear Thursday night they don't plan to go quietly. Discussion: The Broader Implications Of Changes In Normandy Schools By Camille Phillips • May 29, 2014 (via Google Maps screen capture) The Normandy School District is undergoing a series of changes that have broad implications for education throughout the St. Louis region. Thursday on St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh led a wide-ranging discussion about what those changes mean for the future of education in St. Louis. The conversation began with St. Louis Public Radio education reporters Dale Singer and Tim Lloyd. As It Walks Uncertain Path, Normandy Graduates Seniors By Tim Lloyd • May 23, 2014 Tim Lloyd / St. Louis Public Radio Wendy McGregor had all the glow of a mother watching her oldest daughter earn a high school diploma. "I am the mother of Tasha McGregor," she said. "Yes, Yes, Yes! We did it!" Despite an unclear future, the tone at what is likely to be the unaccredited Normandy School District's final graduation under its current structure was one of pride and perseverance. "Right now we're just trying to focus on them," McGregor said. "Even though it could be Normandy something else, we're all still Normandy strong." State Won't OK Expenses For Normandy Lawsuit By Dale Singer • May 22, 2014 (via Flickr/comedy_nose) Missouri education officials, who control the finances of the Normandy school district, say they won't pay the costs of a lawsuit that asks the courts to take another look at the student transfer case. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in St. Louis County Circuit Court, wants a reconsideration of two issues the Missouri Supreme Court rejected in its unanimous decision last year that set in motion the student transfers: unfunded mandates and the impossibility to comply with the transfer law. For One Family, A Year Of Early Mornings And Long Drives Draws To A Close By Tim Lloyd • May 22, 2014 / Tim Lloyd, St. Louis Public Radio It's just after 7 a.m., and SheRon Chaney already has her family packed into an SUV and ready for school. "On a good day like today, I'm hoping it only takes about 35 minutes," she said. Leave just a touch later and they could be stuck in traffic for more than an hour. It's a quirk of St. Louis' commuter culture that Chaney picked up when she decided to transfer her seventh-grade daughter, BrenNae, out of the Normandy School District in favor of Maplewood Richmond Heights. Normandy Files Suit Challenging State Transfer Law By Dale Singer • May 21, 2014 (via Google Maps screen capture) One day after the Missouri Board of Education voted to replace the Normandy school district with a new, state-controlled entity, Normandy filed suit challenging the law that lets students transfer from unaccredited districts.

Russia urges restraint over downed Turkish jet
Russian Foreign Ministry has called on all nations to tone down their rhetoric over the downing of a Turkish jet by the Syrian armed forces. The ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that it is important that the incident be not viewed as a provocation or an intentional action. "The political propaganda is especially dangerous when there are efforts underway to mobilize all influential outside players" in arranging a lasting peace process, the statement said. On Friday, a Turkish F4 Phantom was shot down by Syria, which announced that the Turkish warplane violated its airspace. Moscow released the warning after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened earlier on Tuesday that Ankara would retaliate against Damascus over the incident. Erdogan said that he had given orders to the armed forces to react to any threat approaching Turkish borders from Syria. "Our rational response should not be perceived as weakness, our mild manners do not mean we are a tame lamb," he said. Russia also urged Turkey and Syria to practice "restraint and constructive cooperation" to prevent "such tragic events from happening again. NATO has condemned Syria's downing of the Turkish jet as 'unacceptable' and promised support for Ankara. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi on Monday warned NATO against forging any anti-Syria conspiracy on the downing of the Turkish fighter jet. AGB/JR/MA
