This month's book club guest was the Booker-winning author Ian McEwan, who joined us to discuss his novel Sweet Tooth. It's the story of a young woman who leaves university in 1970s to find herself swept into a chauvinistic world of espionage. McEwan explained how he uncovered the secrets of MI5, why he overlaid voices to create a mysteriously unpredictable narrator, and why the spy novel places a particular set of demands on a novelist.

I recently noticed the dll-hell tag on SO and was curious if this was a valid tag? If this is a valid tag, then would other tags such as wcf-hell, wpf-hell, etc... be valid as well? Granted the examples are not commonplace in every day developer verbiage such as dll-hell.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I don't think such witty slang names for tags are constructive on StackOverflow. It's like there would be tag fear-driven-development on Workspace.SE. They are commonly used, they are well understood, but they do not form constructive questions.
You should ask question about how to manage library dependencies and not to complain that you have problems with it. Using terms like DLL-hell sounds like complaining.

Preferences for Enhancement Pharmaceuticals: The Reluctance to Enhance Fundamental Traits
Four studies examined the willingness of young, healthy individuals to take drugs intended to enhance their own social, emotional, and cognitive traits. We found that people were much more reluctant to enhance traits believed to be more fundamental to self-identity (e.g., social comfort) than traits considered less fundamental to self-identity (e.g., concentration ability). Moral acceptability of a trait enhancement strongly predicted people's desire to legalize the enhancement but not their willingness to take the enhancement. Ad taglines that framed enhancements as enabling rather than enhancing the fundamental self increased people's interest in a fundamental trait enhancement and eliminated the preference for less fundamental over more fundamental trait enhancements.

Connor Halliday sends heartbreaking tweet after season-ending injury
While this past weekend featured many fun college football games, it was also very tough at times due to injuries to some of the sport's top players. Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday doesn't get as much credit as he may deserve due to his team's sub-par record, but if he had finished out this season, he had a chance to break a number of FBS passing records.

Al-Shabaab claims hotel attack in SomaliaComment on this story
Mogadishu - Explosions and gunfire were heard on Thursday at a hotel in central Somalia used by Somali soldiers and Djiboutian peacekeepers working for the African Union (AMISOM), residents said.
Militant group al-Shabaab said it was behind the attack.
"Our well-armed Mujahideen in similar uniform entered Hotel Amalow in Bulobarde again. They are carrying out the operations, shootings," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabaab's spokesman for military operation told Reuters.

"We don't know of any casualties. The place is now surrounded by many AMISOM and Somali forces," he said. - Reuters

bm; Anything is possible of course but the nearer we get to fair value the less I think that GENEL will be a factor. I cannot see them offering attractive terms currently and a lo-ball from any bidder would be resisted fiercely. The attractiveness of the Kurdamir asset is certain ( IMO ) to increase near-term and is on the radar of those with deeper pockets. In any case, I do not see the major WZR investors acceding to any acquisition before end-2014 when there is likely to be visibility on fair value; exploration program nearly complete and with Kurdamir and Sarqala / Hasira / Baram / MQ better appraised. When Garmian is appraised then GazProm takeover the operatorship and what do the management of WZR do then - twiddle their thumbs ? That would be the time to sell.

De Blasio Takes Pre-K Tax Plan to Albany Showdown With Cuomo
– Mayor Bill de Blasio says he can get enough teachers and classrooms to put two-thirds of New York City's 4-year-olds in school by September. In Albany today, he tried to persuade Governor Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers to back the tax on the wealthy he says he needs.
The mayor, who won office in November on a promise to raise taxes on the rich to provide pre-kindergarten across the city, outlined his plan during more than two hours of testimony before lawmakers at the state Capitol. De Blasio lauded Cuomo's budget, which provides funding for pre-K statewide while cutting taxes by $2.2 billion, while calling it insufficient to fund his program.
"There are some who say that Albany shouldn't approve our plan because the state government simply cannot raise any taxes right now," said de Blasio, a 52-year-old Democrat. "We're not asking Albany to raise the state income tax by a single penny to pay for universal pre-K and after-school programs in New York City. We're simply asking Albany to allow New York City to tax itself."
The state's two most visible leaders are vying for influence in a divided legislature, which holds the power to determine which program prevails. The dueling Democrats, friends for 20 years, have each put forward a five-year plan for pre-K, while differing on how to pay for it. Cuomo's would cost $2.2 billion statewide; de Blasio's $2.5 billion just for the city and would include after-school programs.
In New York, the legislature and governor control most local levies, including income taxes.
'Reliable Funding'
Cuomo, a 56-year-old Democrat, has proposed using general funds to expand pre-K statewide. New York City Democrats are seeking to capitalize on an election-year wave that carried de Blasio to the biggest victory margin for a non-incumbent in city history, saying the tax increase is what residents voted for and would tackle widening income inequality.
"Dedicated and reliable funding," not lack of space or personnel, remains the obstacle to providing pre-K to 53,604 children by the start of the next school year and to 73,250 by 2015, according to the mayor's office.
During a joint press conference on a separate issue following de Blasio's testimony, Cuomo stuck to his plan.
"It's clear in the constitution that the state has to pass a law to authorize local taxation; otherwise, we'd have neighboring taxation districts all across the state and we'd have tax wars," Cuomo said. "My proposal is my proposal."
Rebutting Arguments
Full-day pre-K would reach all 4-year-olds by using half the almost 4,000 classrooms identified by officials as "potentially available" within public school buildings, in addition to community-based organizations, according to a report de Blasio released before his testimony. It pegs the average cost at $10,239 per child, or $340 million annually, including for expansion and operational costs. It earmarks almost $100 million for start-up infrastructure and costs.
De Blasio took questions from legislators who alternated between skeptical and supportive as he sat beside one of their former colleagues, Dean Fuleihan, who spent more than 30 years in Albany as a policy adviser and fiscal negotiator before becoming de Blasio's budget director.
The pair rebutted arguments that the tax increase might push the wealthy to leave for lower-tax areas, saying instead that it would boost the city's allure by helping lower crime and bolster graduation rates.
Business Boost
"There is nothing more important than the quality of the school system," de Blasio said, calling universal pre-K the prerequisite to fixing a "deeply troubled" education system. "This is an investment that will improve our business climate, it will improve our real estate prices and make our city more liveable."
Funding from the tax increase would be prevented from being spent on anything other than pre-K and after-school programs, such as new labor contracts with 300,000 city workers, de Blasio said. In a shift from the tone he took toward charter schools during his campaign, he said he'd be open to amending state law to allow charters to offer pre-K, as Cuomo's budget calls for.
The mayor invoked the ability of his predecessors to obtain state approval to raise taxes. He renewed his pledge that the tax would expire after five years, saying the structure would afford officials the consistency to get the program running while forcing them to find savings in the budget to pay for it in the future, such as cutting health-care outlays for city workers.
"Localities understand their own needs," de Blasio said.
Sheldon Silver, the Manhattan Democrat who leads the assembly, said last week a combination of tax increases on the city's wealthy and state funding may be needed. Senator Jeff Klein, a Bronx Democrat who co-leads the chamber, has swung his full support behind de Blasio's tax increase. His counterpart, Senator Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, favors universal pre-K, though he generally opposes raising taxes.

Lovely photostudies! And quick too!
Lovely photostudies! And quick too!
the enviro photo studies and the watercolor screencaps are sweet! nice planes and structure. keep up the studies and the good work!
Thanks for the comments!
I bought Jason Manley's videos about composition and especially the first part was a real eye-opener. He explained the 8 principles of composition with the help of some Japanese woodcuts and instructed the viewer to look at their own paintings and see what of those things could be handled better. I did and instantly saw many flaws in my paintings, found reasons to why I like my favorites and what makes other pieces look confusing or boring.
Pumped with new info both from the TAD video and things I've learned in my current graphics job in a game company, I'm revamping my portfolio. This because I'll try my hand at freelancing from the start of October. A few days ago I bumped into this old painting about a historical battle I started maybe three years ago (the painting, not the battle). The basic composition was ok, I had already designed the poses of the soldiers and there was a clear idea in the piece so I decided to continue it. Below is the old version and a version with 15-20 hours of improvements. It's been a blast but there's still refining to do. I've only been using one brush which I described in post 575.
Attachment 1324607
Manley's composition lecture was indeed awesome. So much priceless information for such a ridiculous price.
Definately keep working on that piece. What I would like to see is bit more color variation in the shapes. You know, more hues and such. Less flat patches.
Keep it up, man.
"You might be disappointed if you fail, but you will be doomed if you don't try"
I like where your illustration is going
And yes, Jason was great to share all that composition stuff with us
yes your doing a great job recently
i just think you should workalittle biton color, i mean you make these studies for example look pretty exact and close to the original but your colors seem a bit flat all the time, like your wood is brown, your grass is green a blue trousers is blue etc etc
there are many ways to get rid of that (dont get me wrong,in many cases your way of coloring perfectly does the job)
the simpliest way is to just throw in random colors from time to time, and let your mind guide you how to make it fit
another way would be to make color studies from life not from photo - there are so many hypercomplex color interactions going on everywhere try to see the green in a white wall, the grey in a red carpet, the blue in womans red lips ...
but yeah looking forward to your next updates!
Such a great progress you have here! I really like your studies of landscapes and anatomy :-) And you know how to construct things - very important skill. Your clouds are also cool ,but if it's possible try to paint them from life - you'll see how colors looks different in life ,photos making them a bit wrong ,too grey sometimes or sky looks oversaturated. Keep your stuff up! :-)
Ismo - Thanks for that crit! It helped me get more feel of materials to the painting immediately after reading it.
Reika - Thanks, glad you like it!
Xbert - Thanks for the spot on critique! Yeah, I've got to get to the habit of doing more life drawings.

I took the colored dwarf painting to the level you see below:

Photo studies:
Nice figure studies, if i had 1 crit it would be about the enviroment with the houses, all the houses are almost the same size which is confusing because they should be getting smaller the further away they are in perspective. Other than that very nice stuff keep it up .
Sean - Thanks! I don't know if staying detached from the confines of one medium is the right way to put it, rather I'd say different mediums teach you different things. If I sketch with pencil a lot in a day, I feel my strokes get more confident. After painting with watercolors, I find it easier to think in terms of color relations rather than trying to nail realistic colors in my reference individually at the expense of spontaneity and liveliness, like I have a bad habit of doing if I paint for a long period of time just with Photoshop.
Your question about the photo studies really hit a nail in the head. I give my photo studies the same level of rendering everywhere and of course it carries over to my finished work so I definitely gotta do something about it. So thanks for the eye-opener! On the studies in this post, I've given this thing a lot more thought and left some parts more loose.
Splode - Thanks! Very true about the houses, another reason for me to hate that sketch.
A brushtest I'm now using as a wallpaper
Photo studies with more thought on where I want detail:
Portfolio sample (tried to get a 19th century themed gig):
I guess I'm learning to think more in terms of big abtract shapes at the beginning of a painting. Before getting the forms of the individual sails down, I got the whole mass of sails to look good. I guess the magic to a good speedpainting is to think about it as a few big abstract shapes at the start and start chiseling the details stroke by stroke, moving to a smaller brush as you go, so that it looks good all the time. A no-brainer perhaps but the thought helped me a lot on this one.
The dwarf piece almost finished:
Attachment 1346470
wow this is a huge sketchbook. might take a while to flick through it entirely.
i love the last piece in post 645 alot... its spring...flowers blooming and some giant with a big club is going to give you a bad time if you stand still for another 10 seconds
seriously, there is a lot of really nice stuff with a big variety. looks like youre not stuck with some particular topic/technique
You're starting to get really nice brush economy into those photo studies. Good job. The chainmail on that dwarf looks ace, but the overall image doesn't read too well on my monitor. He kind of sinks into the background.
I'd also like to see you push some of the enviros to final. Really get some details in too to make a piece hold interest bit longer. I know your style is loose, but still areas that are more defined would make a piece feel more finished.
One thing I've started to do with photostudies lately is that I take a reference picture and really just stare at it for a while, focusing on figuring out how light/color and different materials/elements work. What makes trees look like trees ect. Then I'll start a personal piece where I'll try to incorporate the stuff I learned, usually referring back to the photo to check things I didn't quite understand. I think doing that has already helped me to stray away from the generic look that I often tend to get when working from imagination (plastic looking mountains and ugly stuff like that). Studying this way also feels more interesting and efficient than just simply copying stuff (though which too can be useful at times).
"You might be disappointed if you fail, but you will be doomed if you don't try"
I really like that texture your bringing into your works
Ziegengrimm - Thanks for those kind words! I like that giant piece as well, might try to make something finished out of it.
Ismo - Very sharp-sighted critique as always! I'll do something about that dwarf. I tested out the color study thing you suggested on the two sketches below and it feels incredibly useful. It's easy to go to autopilot when copying a photo but this way you can't cheat yourself. Thanks for the great advice!
Kidult - Thanks! I made a few big grunge brushes out of textures from CGtextures.com and have been having lots of fun with them.
More work on this piece I'm slowly getting fed up with:

I watched another bunch of videos from the Feng Zhu channel and gotta really appreciate how packed those videos are, not only by information but also catching energy and enthusiasm. The videos about reference books was sort of an eye-opener to me and surely worth watching, I never really understood their value. As another highlight, vehicle sketching had some great, practical career advice, though there's of course loads of that sprinkled in all of the videos.
So, having gotten a dose of inspiration and lots of new tricks I should test and because I need more skills and a better portfolio, I thought I'd try to start a habit of doing a page of vehicle or creature designs, a page of character designs and a page of environments per day for as long as I can. Today they took 12 hours and it may be the first time I've drawn that much in a day.
I sketched all of these in 1.5 hours at first and then moved on to details. The reason is that in some of the videos, Feng Zhu said there's only a given amount of good designing time in a day so it's best getting it done first and move on to details later. Seemed to work for me, I never gotten so much done in such a short time.

I made a bunch of new brushes out of some marks I did with watercolors. The file doesn't want to get attached but if anyone wants the .tpl file (works from cs3 upwards), just ask.
I realized that using good-looking brushes helps with speed and vibrancy of colors because the big brushstrokes you lay at the start don't have to be blended afterwards. On the waterfall picture, probably most of the area of the rock wall is covered with strokes I did on the first half an hour. I made sure not to tinker with them to keep the vibrant colors of the initial sketch, just added shadows and details.
All of the environments took me about 4 hours. I think the main thing that sped things up was focusing more on painting things from background to foreground as opposed to painting them in whatever order I feel like and trying to keep the layers organized. With the time limit I set for myself, I also had to get details painted at once rather than leaving them on hold while I work on something else.

About the monastery painting... I like the overall style, especially how you rendered the rocks... But the monastery itself doesn't seem to fit in there. Don't know... Something about the color or that it looks flat compared to the rest of the environment.

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning" – The Eye of the World
And what a beginning it was for me 17 years ago when my girlfriend, now wife, gave me The Eye of the World as a birthday present. I was immediately drawn into Robert Jordan's world as he provided a new twist on the farm boy to hero storyline with a complexly developed world and well fleshed out characters.
Fast forwarding 17 years and 14 books, I find myself at the end of an Age as Jordan's story is brought to it's conclusion by Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson has remained true to the characters birthed by Jordan and has add a freshness to the storyline, that I personally felt was needed. I found books 6 to 9 were a bit of a grind and a tad slow and repetitive. To be honest I had actually decided not to finish the series when I heard of Jordan's passing. Luckily a friend convinced me to pick them up again when Sanderson was confirmed to be finishing the series. (Maybe Sanderson could start discussions with a certain other author to get that series finished…)
A Memory of Light is the book of Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, where the Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor, confronts the Dark One on the slopes of Shayol Ghul in a battle that will determine the fate of all. Rand does not fight alone, while he is battling the Dark One, the forces of Light band together to face the overwhelming forces of the Shadow.
The battles in this book, and there are many, are well described and gritty. You will be engaged with the up close and personal melee of the frontlines and feel the angst of command decisions. At times you get a very real sense of desperation and hopelessness in the face of overwhelming odds and will revel in little sparks of hope and humanity amongst a sea of chaos. Once the battles proper get underway the pacing is excellent and I must admit I had trouble putting the book down at times I was so drawn into the story.
All of the main protagonists have developed in maturity as they have been wittingly and unwittingly thrust into positions of power and responsibility over the series. Given that the storyline takes place over 2 years, I think their development has been fairly realistic as they have come to grips with their power, their destinies & themselves.
I was a little dubious as to how Sanderson was going to end this series. It's no mean feat to conclude a series that is 14 books long, has many in depth characters and the main protagonist has been prophesied to die. All of the story arcs have been brought to their conclusions in a well thought out way and I was left with a feeling of completeness upon finishing Memory of Light. I was satisfied with how the book ended and would rate Memory of Light as being one of my favourite of the series.
I have read through the series multiple times, and will probably read it several more times, and each time I read it another understanding of a character or pick up another plot thread I skimmed earlier. I have introduced the series to countless friends and will continue to do so. Don't let the thought of a 14 book series deter you from a well developed world and epic storyline.
"The wind blew southward, through knotted forest, over shimmering plains and towards lands unexplored. This wind, it was not the ending. There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending." – A Memory of Light
Thanks to Hachette NZ for letting us review this book!

Serena, Murray gone but not forgottenComment on this story
London - Serena Williams and Andy Murray may have suffered shock defeats at Wimbledon but they remained at the centre of intrigue Thursday over the controversial and stormy manner of their exits.
Williams was a fourth-round loser in singles before she retired from her doubles second round tie with what was described as a "viral illness" after almost fainting and serving up four double faults in a performance which made for uncomfortable, almost goulish viewing.
The 32-year-old added to the mystery when she posted a photo on social media showing herself wrapped in a blanket and slumped listlessly on a sofa, staring blankly at a laptop on the table in front of her.
Her French coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, with whom she has been linked romantically, said he had not seen Serena for two days before her Court One meltdown on Tuesday where she was led by the hand from the court by sister Venus after she had struggled to maintain her balance and composure.
Former champion and world number one Martina Navratilova suggested that there was more to the story than a "viral illness" although Williams has suffered serious health issues in the past, once even having to battle life-threatening blood clots on her lungs.
"I've never seen anything like it and hopefully never will again," Navratilova told ESPN.
"It's not right. It defies logic on so many fronts. The coach said he hadn't seen her for two days. He didn't know anything. How can you be a coach and not know anything? That's wrong.
"You don't know what's going on, but virus was not it, that much is clear."
One day after defending men's champion Murray made a tame exit in straight sets to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals, the British media suggested there had been an incident involving the 27-year-old in the minutes leading up to his Centre Court clash.
The Daily Telegraph reported that in the second set, Murray was heard muttering the words "shut the f*** up" to himself.
In the third, he raged: "Five minutes before the f***ing match."
The comments appeared to be aimed at the players' box where his coach Amelie Mauresmo, long-time girlfriend Kim Sears and his mother Judy were watching.
Murray left the All England Club straight after his media duties were completed still dressed in his tennis kit, heading for his mansion home nearby.
Sears was understood to have left alone and was "visibly upset", claimed the Telegraph.
Dimitrov, a close friend of Murray, sensed the British player was "not up to his best."
"I sensed in the warm up that his game was not at the highest level," said the 23-year-old Bulgarian.

How serious will be Metta World Peace's suspension? (Web links)
April 24, 2012
By Mark Medina
-- The Times' Mike Bresnahan first reported that the NBA wouldn't decide Monday what disciplinary measures it would give Lakers forward Metta World Peace for throwing an elbow Sunday at Oklahoma City guard James Harden. - -NBA.com's Steve Aschburner argues World Peace's suspension should correlate to how long it takes Harden to recover from a concussion. -- The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson believes it will be hard to predict Harden's return. -- USA Today's Mike Lopresti argues World Peace hasn't grown up. -- The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry explains how Harden is a critical piece to the Thunder's championship run. Mayberry also reports the Thunder is listing Harden as day-to-day . -- The Orange County Register's Jeff Miller argues World Peace's strike on Harden could've been even more severe.
Metta World Peace says Knicks wouldn't let him lead
March 17, 2014
By Houston Mitchell
Metta World Peace had his contract bought out by the New York Knicks last month, at his request, because they wouldn't let him lead, not because he was spending a lot of time on the bench. That is what the former Lakers forward told the New York Post on Sunday. "I didn't mind playing any role, but I didn't see myself having a role, not even a leadership role," World Peace said. "I was fine with being on the bench, but at times I wanted to help lead. But at times I tried to lead, it was met with resistance.
Metta World Peace satisfied with conditioning heading into Game 7
May 11, 2012
By Mark Medina
With the Lakers possibly looking at the end of a tumultuous season, there remains several signs of glimmering hope. They enter Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Saturday against the Denver Nuggets with plenty of history on their side. The Lakers haven't lost Game 7 of an NBA playoff series since the 1969 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has gone 4-1 in previous Game 7s, and helped secure Game 5 in a 2000 first-round matchup with the Sacramento Kings . The Lakers now receive a welcome addition not yet seen in the postseason: small forward Metta World Peace, who has served a seven-game suspension for throwing a vicious elbow to the head of Oklahoma City guard James Harden on April 22. There's no acclimation period for World Peace, who will start in place of second-year forward Devin Ebanks.

Lakers can't solely rely on Metta World Peace's return for Game 7 edge
May 12, 2012
By Mark Medina
Once the clock hits 7:30 Saturday night it will mark Metta World Peace's return to the court in Game 7 of the Lakers-Nuggets series, the first game he's played in 20 days after serving a seven-game suspension for throwing a vicious elbow at Oklahoma City guard James Harden. As he sat down before a handful of reporters at the Lakers' practice facility after morning shootaround Saturday, World Peace hardly sounded anxious about his return. "I don't like to rush the time," World Peace said.
Metta World Peace becomes 'Metta Man'
May 30, 2012
By Mark Medina
The thing that makes Metta World Peace so endearing is his transparent personality. He revels in sharing what's on his mind, no matter how goofy he sounds. Even when he's away from the cameras, World Peace remains the same approachable and down-to-earth person. And most importantly, World Peace talks openly about his vulnerabilities with mental health issues in hopes that it helps others. Yes, World Peace occasionally stumbles. His vicious elbow to Oklahoma City guard James Harden earned him a seven-game suspension and there was no justification for it. But in covering him for the last 2 1/2 seasons, it's easy to sense his conflicted emotions.
Metta World Peace deserves lengthy suspension
April 23, 2012
By Mark Medina
Within a five-second span, Metta World Peace threw everything away. His vicious elbow didn't just damage Oklahoma City forward James Harden. It damaged World Peace's reputation. His ensuing ejection didn't just hang the Lakers out to dry as they somehow managed to escape with a 114-106 double-overtime victory Sunday over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It left them wondering if they can win without him, since World Peace probably will draw a lengthy suspension. And his apology afterward that it was an "unintentional elbow" isn't just laughable because the Lakers' public relations staff refused to allow him to take follow-up questions.

Metta World Peace strips with Russell Brand
July 30, 2012
By Mark Medina
*We will have a live chat at 2:30 p.m. to talk about the London Olympics, the Lakers and, of course, Dwight Howard! Metta World Peace appeared on a talk show, so that means he took his clothes off. It's almost customary for the Lakers forward to do this. Even before he could sit down, World Peace famously walked onto the set of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" wearing only boxer briefs. So it should come as no surprise that World Peace swapped clothes with English comedian Russell Brand, host of "BrandX," aired on FX Networks.

" The Lakers forward sits down to talk with "kid therapists to talk out big issues. " In the program's debut, World Peace admits he's under a lot of pressure and asks for help. His advisors suggest techniques to alleviate the Lakers forward's anxiety; one young lady suggested he dig up earthworms during halftime.

The New York Knicks were reportedly working on a buyout of Metta World Peace's contract Saturday. But there was nothing even the notorious Knicks public relations machine could do about the tweets of Daniel Artest , World Peace's brother. Among the highlights: "Ron wanted to be a knick his entire career and his dream became a nightmare. Knicks need an overhaul. Top to bottom. "Well. At least I got some nice knick gear. " "I'm not threatening [owner Jim ] Dolan on twitter tho. Lol. Some fan is locked up for that.
Lakers' Kent Bazemore, MarShon Brooks reduce the trade deficit
February 22, 2014
By Mike Bresnahan
Throw-ins? Almost as quickly as you could say "Blake Mamba," the seldom-used duo acquired from Golden State for Steve Blake erupted for a combined 29 points in the Lakers' 101-92 victory Friday night over Boston. Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks had averaged only 4.9 points combined this season before Bazemore scored 15 and Brooks had 14 against the Celtics. But can they do this consistently? "If you can do it once, you can do it twice," Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said Saturday.
Metta World Peace releases new book in honor of Valentine's Day

Ron Artest's fighting days apparently died with his birth name. Meet Metta World Peace, a man who prefers teaching children about love over punching players and fans. In honor of Valentine's Day, the former Laker and current New York Knicks forward has released his second children's book, "Metta's World Peace and Love Stories. " "This book is a simple way to interact with your child, nephew, niece, younger siblings and instill at a young age the importance of love and family togetherness," World Peace said in a statement. The book can be purchsed at mettaworldpeace.com and is also available on Amazon Kindle for $3.99.

Metta World Peace: I didn't know who Knicks coach was when I signed
November 29, 2013
By Austin Knoblauch
Maybe it's a good thing Metta World Peace didn't know exactly what he was getting into when he signed with the New York Knicks in the off-season. The former Lakers forward told ESPN this week that he didn't even know who the Knicks' coach was when he signed with the team. With the Clippers extending the Knicks' losing streak to seven games Wednesday, World Peace might not want to get too used to the idea of Mike Woodson being the team's coach. "I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said.
Clippers have interest in Metta World Peace
July 14, 2013
By Broderick Turner
Now that Metta World Peace has cleared amnesty waivers, the Clippers have some interest in speaking with the forward, said NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. But the Clippers are also aware that World Peace has interest in joining his hometown team, the New York Knicks. The teams with salary cap room who were able to bid on World Peace all decided not to by Sunday's 2 p.m. Pacific time deadline, allowing him to clear waivers and opening the door for him to negotiate with the team of his choice.

They often arrived, especially at first, with a certain swagger. Two Lakers, a Boston Celtic and, once, an entire pro team from China. On the sidewalk, passersby sometimes stopped to peer through the windows of the Marina del Rey studio, as if looking into an aquarium of really big fish: hulking professional basketball players in a studio with pink ceilings and wallpaper, doing ... wait, is that ... Pilates? Well, sort of. "I don't think Pilates is supposed to have yelling and hip-hop," one passerby said recently to her companion.

Metta World Peace is anything but conventional, so it should come as no surprise that to get to his first Knicks game, he took a form of transportation that's atypical of most millionaire NBA stars. World Peace rode the subway to his team's home opener on Wednesday. The F train to be exact. The Queensbridge native used to ride that train when he was a child dreaming of playing for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. After he was amnestied by the Lakers and picked up by the Knicks, World Peace decided to bring things full circle. "This is something I've always wanted to do," he told Newsday . World Peace boarded the train on 21st Street and 41st Avenue, an intersection that borders the housing projects where he was raised.

Vacant, old, rundown may be words some residents use to describe a building located in a prime area of the twin cities, but we found out some developers are taking the bold step to give the old Plaza Hotel in College Station a big make over.
The hotel is located at a major intersection on University Drive and Texas Avenue.
"I come this way a lot, and it's hard to look at a place like that," said JJ Ruffino who works at Coldwell Banker United which is adjacent to The Plaza Hotel.
What some may call an eyesore will now turn into student housing along with shops and restaurants.
"It's really exciting to hear about what these folks from California are proposing to do with the property," said Ruffino.
The 17-story building has been vacant since last June when the previous owners filed for bankruptcy.
Now developers based out of California, Woodridge Capital Partners, have submitted plans to the city of College Station to turn the building into a mixed-use project.
"This new project is going to bring people to the community. If not just students, then people who come to visit. If they build shops and restaurants, there's more opportunity for those folks," said Ruffino.
We asked for pictures or models of what this place will look like, but the developers said they didn't have those available for us. We also asked about any specifics on the restaurants or the retail stores that will be here, but they said it was way to early to tell. Regardless people around here are extremely excited about the new renovations.
"Just all around good for our community to have a project like that," said Ruffino.
The company constructing the building, Capstone Collegiate Communities, has built mostly cottages at college sites including Cottage of Lubbock at Texas Tech University and Cottages of Hattiesburg at University of Southern Mississippi.
Although it's still unclear how the facility will look, the developers did say that the design will be complementary to the Texas A&M campus.
Construction for the project is expected to begin this summer.

Who else wants a kids magician for their event that truly is appropriate for kids and can really hold their attention? Need a kid's magician in NJ for your event that will truly captivate and entertain your audience?
Find out why parents, teachers and event planners all over New Jersey say that the Stretch The Silly Man show is their only choice when it comes to hiring the right entertainment for family events!
The show is…
- A truly age appropriate kids magician show
- Full time entertainer since 1993…not just a weekend magician who does "magic" as a hobby
- Non Stop roller coaster ride of entertainment for the entire family
- Audience participation from beginning to end
- Over 6,500 shows performed
- The ONLY kids magician in NJ who guarantees your satisfaction or your money back PLUS $250 out of his own pocket
- Even grandma & grandpa will say its the best kids show they have ever seen and they have seen many!
"Honestly, some kids performers can be creepy, Stretch is the opposite – he is warm and energetic and bottom line makes kids and adults laugh harder than I've ever seen them laugh. Stretch really connects with kids sensibilities. Thank you for making my sons birthday a stand-out!"
Kahane Corn
The Stretch the Silly Man Show was a hit at the White House, your event will be a hit too!
New Jersey's Funniest Kids Comedian Stretch The Silly Man was invited to perform at the 2005 Easter Egg Roll at the White House. With over 16,000 people in attendance Stretch helped make the 2005 Easter Egg Roll one they would not forget.
"Thank you for all you did to make the 2005 Easter Egg Roll such a success. Your entertaining performance was a big hit and added to everyone's enjoyment. We appreciate your taking the time to join us and your patience with the bad weather. Best wishes!" (See the letter the president sent to this New Jersey Magician )
President George Bush & First Lady Laura Bush
Entertaining families with a kids magician show is no easy task. Especially when the audience is a young audience. If the show is not super fast paced and totally appropriate for kids then they will not have any interest in the show. Stretch The Silly Man GUARANTEES that your kids will love the show and they will be completely enthralled or your money back!
"My Goal at every show is not to be remembered as a "magician". There are 100's of them in NJ. What I want is for both the kids and the parents to remember me as the guy that made them laugh so hard that their belly button almost popped out."
"Stretch The Silly Man"

Television and Popular Culture
Launched in 1995, this series offers a wide variety of volumes about American television programming. The series includes books about individual shows, specific genres, creators and producers, and the history of the medium. Interview collections, anthologies, and newly updated classics such as Wally Podrazik and Harry Castleman's widely course-adopted Watching TV are also included in the series. Books in the series have been awarded honors such as the Popular Culture Association Board of Governors Award, which went to Peter C. Rollis and John E. O'Connor's The West Wing: The American Presidency as Television Drama in 2004, and the Theatre Historical Society of America's Outstanding Book of the Year Award, which Norman O. Keim's Our Movie Houses: A History of Film and Cinematic Innovation in Central New York was awarded in 2008.
Since its founding, the series has expanded its field of interest to include works on other subjects in American popular and mass entertainment as well, including vaudeville, comics, movies, and radio broadcasting. Recent books such as Roland Leander Williams Jr's Black Male Frames: African Americans in a Century of Hollywood Cinema, 1903-2003 and J. Richard Stevens's Captain America, Masculinity, and Violence: The Evolution of a National Icon point in this new direction.

How could you have possibly mistaken my comment in that context? The 360 and PS3 are both over half a decade old and their software libraries are very sizable. The Wii U has had a fraction of that time in the market, has been proven to be stronger than the 360/PS3 (look up Criterion's Need For Speed U port) and is only in the month of March gaining new content. So no kidding the Wii U sales are slow. Why people are incapable of understanding the concept of cause and effect is mind boggling. #3.1.2 (Edited 1002d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(4) | Report auragenz + 1002d ago The Wii U didn't just come out.

Granted i didnt buy it on any platform but i expected much better numbers from the pc. My issue is all the talk pc guys do i would've hoped they would support the developers instead of torrent sites. Those numbers are terrible considering its the superior version. Atleast The PS3 and Xbox360 gamers bought way more of the "inferior" version, Whats up with that? #7 Agree(4) | Disagree(12) | Report | Reply TongkatAli + 1002d ago They most likely bought Crysis 3 from Steam. #7.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply morganfell + 1002d ago Crysis 3 is on Steam?

Yep what pc gamers still buy retail copies? It's all digital sales now, Which is not tracked by vgachartz #7.3 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Reverent + 1002d ago That's actually great information worth mentioning. I literally don't know a single PC gamer who still buys hard-copies. #7.3.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report torchic + 1002d ago the thing about digital sales is that we never ever get numbers released for them. I don't ever understand why people put so much emphasis on their relevance. it could be 5, 500, 50 000 or 5 000 000 copies of Crysis 3 (or any game for that matter) sold on Steam, XBLM, PSS, Origin, etc. who knows. #7.3.2 (Edited 1002d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report SlapHappyJesus + 1002d ago @jamaicangmr and morgan fell Of course they don't. PC gaming, while constantly growing in popularity, is very much a luxury item. Not that gaming itself isn't a luxury, but you know what I mean. More people are going to own a $200 box that plays Crysis 3 decently than those who own a $1000+ box that plays it spectacularly. PC gaming, as far as I can tell, will never meet consoles in terms of popularity. Not with how the industry works at the moment, anyway. However, that doesn't mean PC gaming isn't a legitimate platform. You don't factor in downloads, where most of the copies of this game would have been sold. Even Origin, a system that, like any big, new download service, is rather disliked, people will use it to obtain the big new game. So, yeah, PC sales don't meet console sales at the end of the day. What of it? Don't see a whole lot of Lamborghinis on the road, but that doesn't mean there isn't a market for it or that they aren't incredibly badass. #7.4 (Edited 1002d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply lovegames718 + 1002d ago Again every article the same two stupid comments. Wtf here doesn't know VG chartz isn't 100 percent correct but close probably within a 6 percent margin, Again Wtf doesn't know allllll companies numbers are shipped which still equals sales because all the stores are buying them. Enough is enough its so annoying hearing the same shit. On that note it seems Metal gear games no matter what the title of them still sell better on ps3, while Cry sis 2 is selling better on Xbox. After crappy,super generic, over hyped cry sis 2 I gave up on that series and am glad to see my fellow ps3 brethren doing the same. Crytek is a lot of talk and still aren't graphical benchmarks on consoles kz3 still stomps it out in visuals and performance with a locked in 30fps. #8 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply TongkatAli + 1002d ago VG charts has ruined gaming to me. No one even talks about games anymore. Its "please gaming gods make them have more money and me have less PLEASE!". I rather have more game articles : /. The Vita is going to do amazing next week. I'm not going to be "Hahah, yes! *orgasm* I'm gonna say good job and keep it moving. We always get the PS3 beat Xbox beat PS3 in America 3DS beats everything in sales cues the Nintendo fanboys parachuting in XD the back and forth ridiculous. All over these companies sale numbers, VG charts should be banned and we should only get black friday sales numbers from THE COMPANY ITSELF and slaes numbers from the companies own mouth.

Now I/you have two options. You either want me to stick with VGchartz numbers (as others do) and concede that the PS3 is 1.3 million behind, or you want us to accept Sony's recent statement that they are level or maybe even slightly ahead. So which would you want me to choose? 77 million or 73.1? I'm happy to go with either. #12 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply IRetrouk + 1002d ago You can always use vg charts to keep track through the year, but when someone from a company gives you a number then you have to amend the numbers i think, that way you are sticking to what you do while still getting the correct info when it becomes available #12.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply GribbleGrunger + 1002d ago Principles are a bugger though. I look at it like this: VGChartz has the PS3 1.3 million behind whilst Sony themselves have them more or less even. People who support other consoles choose to either call VGChartz out or call Sony out on their own numbers ... So how can you possibly compete with that? BUT, when the VGChartz numbers show them even (which will likely happen by Nov) then there will be no doubt whatsoever that it's a fact. Both VGChartz AND Sony will be stating that the PS3 is ahead. At that point fans of other consoles will have nothing left to argue with and hopefully once they've broken away from denial and entered reality we can just get on with gaming. #12.1.1 (Edited 1002d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report MikeMyers + 1002d ago The better question is why are they arguing in the first place? This has been going on since 2005 when the Xbox 360 came out and many said it would be another failure like the original Xbox and that once again Sony would dominate. That didn't happen. The Wii came out in full force and changed gaming on its head while the Xbox 360 and PS3 went after the same market struggling to one up another. It was a complete waste of time for 7 or more years with all the bickering going back and forth and VGChartz was often viewed as pure guesses. Outside of Japan the support was a wash so in the end it didn't matter who was ahead of who. It was NOTHING like last generation where the PS2 not only dominated in sales but also in software support. We also heard garbage about how the Xbox 360 wouldn't last that long like the original. It's what, going on 8 years now? What more does Sony or Microsoft have to prove to these people? If anyone is still interested these are the latest figures I have: http://www.microsoft.com/in... 75.9 million Xbox 360's. http://www.scei.co.jp/corpo... As of November 1st of last year Sony announced they reached the milestone of 70 million. So how many systems could we expect to have been sold in 4 months? Either way it is very close but mind you the PS3 came out a year after which means on average the PS3 sold more per year. Once the PS4 comes out and the next Xbox I expect sales to slow down after the Christmas season of 2014. I expect overall PS3 sales to be more than the Xbox 360 if they aren't already. But again does it really matter now? #12.1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report IRetrouk + 1002d ago I understand what you are saying gribble, thats why i tend not to comment on sales articles, too much arguing over something thats not important to us as gamers, as long as your console or consoles are supported then thats all that matters. #12.1.3 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report Bumpmapping + 1002d ago Wow PS3 been on a roll lately good for Sony they deserve it and 3DS selling like hot cakes as usual.But damn that Wii U Nintendo has to act fast competition is right around the corner they need to start heavily advertising and getting games out quick to keep it relevant before the PS4/720 releases. #13 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply MultiConsoleGamer + 1002d ago Pulp Fiction #14 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Regarding the sources of flare in testing etc, again, I'm refering mostly to flare caused by the subject/test target, not the lens. The kind of "veiling" lens flare Adams refers to is likely a relatively minor issue with most contemporary lenses.
Regarding the separation: My impression is that flare works very much like pre-flashing, the greatest effect is on the lowest values. The more you pre-flash the flatter the toe gets. Less pre-flash/flare exposure as a result of less total exposure means a steeper toe.
As to source, uhhh.

Ed, tungsten illumination is rich in the red region of the spectrum, less so in green and even less so in blue. Therefore, to achieve a so called neutral with nothing else intervening, the red speed is slower than green which is slower than blue. The blue speed must be fastest to make up for the low blue emission of tungsten illumination.
This is good, because color negative papers have no yellow absorbing layer to protect the cyan and magenta layers from punch through of blue light. You see the cyan and magenta (red and green sensitive) layers are sensitve to blue light as well as to their primary region of the spectrum (red and green of course). But, since there is still a bit of punch through possible, the blue and green speeds are jacked up by the amount of speed equal to the punch through (about 50R worth) so that the filters in the beam remove the last residual element of punch through by knocking back this excess speed.
In addition, since a color negative is going to be printed, and it has an orange mask, that amount of extra speed must be added to the blue and gree layers to offset the mask. (you can observe this by contact printing a perfectly balanced negative - you will see that the border of the negative reproduces as a light gray due to this effect.)
In actual fact, the fundamental speed of color negative papers is judged by the speed of the cyan layer and the other layers are adjusted upwards from that point to achieve the goals above, namely 1. Approximate neutral from tungsten light, 2. +50R to remove any vestige of punch through, and 3. B and G speed bias approximaely equal to the dmin mask of average color negative film.
In practice, the Cyan (red sensitive) emulsion therefore uses a 0.1 - 0.2 micron grain and the Yellow (blue sensitive) emulsion uses a 1.0 - 2.0 micron grain that is nearly film speed. Since we distinguish yellow detail poorly, the grain caused by this size difference is not easily seen.
To see these effects, look at the wedge spectrograms of color paper published on the Kodak web site. The last time I looked, it clearly showed the Cyan and Magenta contamination of the Yellow due to punch through that is eliminated by appropriate filtration. If this is not done (ie by using cyan filtration) then this punch through can begin to show up in your prints. As you say, there are many reasons that one might need cyan filtration, but this does not mean it is what was intended by the manufacturere for optimum results.
So, the piece of film is a piece of negative color film, processed but unexposed.

An artist's rendering of the national championship ring designed by the University of Florida for Gator players. Members of the 2008 national title team also will get two other rings: one for the SEC title and a BCS-sponsored ring. This drawing shows the ring for senior offensive lineman Jason Watkins.

As one Gators football player said late at night after Florida's 24-14 national championship game win against Oklahoma, "Bring on the bling!"
The bling's on the way -- and lots of it.
In fact, Florida players on the 2008 national title team will receive three different rings for all their hard work last season. Jostens worked with a group of UF players -- headed by running back Kestahn Moore -- to consult with the company on how they wanted their rings to look. Fellow 2008 seniors James Smith and Jason Watkins also served on a committee for ring designs. Linebacker Ryan Stamper, who will be a senior ...
