I bought a IIIf last summer and it has been my most used camera. I really, really love it.
I use it most often with a Summar 50/2. It performs beautifully with Tri-X, Acros and Presto.
I've found the Color-Skopar 21/4 to be a nice lens, especially for shots where I want to squeeze everything into the frame (in a good way.)
I also sometimes use a Nikkor-Q.C 135/3.5 but the two together make for a very heavy and conspicuous setup.
My IIIf is currently in the shop, but I hope to use it for many years to come. It's truly a wonderful camera.

What does it mean - "take on board"?

In a business sense, it means that you acknowledge a person's idea or suggestion. Basically it means "We'll/I'll think about it." It's not a promise that you actually agree or accept what the other person has suggested.
If it's a person whom you "take on board", then that means you employ that person.
If it's a person whom you "take on board", then that means you employ that person.
It depends on the context, but usually it is used in reference to a ship, plane or other type of transportation. The ship takes on board passengers. I suspect the phrase originates from the way passengers had to walk across a board from the dock to the ship.
Along with Susan's answer of taking passengers on board a ship, plane, or boat. It could also mean to accept the ideas and opinions of others: "We need to take on board the views of our co-workers."

Baidu, China's leading search engine, is spreading out into Europe according to IDG News..
The successful challenger to Google - okay just in China - may find this market a little more difficult to conquer. Meanwhile domain squatters like Baidu-europe.eu are already riding in on the Baidu cache.
"Baidu CFO Shawn Wang is expected to outline the group's expansion plans in London later this month, when the company attends its first Nasdaq investor day since listing on the exchange in 2005" the UK Telegraph web site stated.
UPDATE: Baidu.com on Friday told Infoworld that it is not planning to expand into Europe, and that those rumors are groundless.

C&C welcome...wanted actually.
C&C welcome...wanted actually.

Hey dude!
Off the top of my head i'd say lose the "hairy line" thing. A nice strong decided line does wonders and helps the whole piece flow better. And you do reference work, which I haven't done in ages (and i need to, too...) which is always very good.
Keep it up!
Hey thanks for the reply man. Anyways, what do you mean by the 'hairy line thing'? Do you mean work for stronger lines instead of light sketchy ones?
Some old stuff. Will update again tommorow.
Yay for Hogarth.
You hands are looking better...
Your eyes and noses suffer from classic beginnerisms...
those lines/shadings you keep wanting to draw in from the inside corner of the eyes to the tip of the nose... pretend they don't exist. catch yourself drawing them, and then dont. its one of those 'drawing what you know and not what you see' things.
with the eyes:
pay attention to the size of the iris. you're drawing them HUGE!
on the eyelids, in life your top eyelid casts much stronger shadows than the bottom, also casts shadow right on the white of the eye. your eyes appear like cutouts because of the evenly dark line all the way around.
when you're doing those small head studies, try this: leave out the bottom eyelid altogether. don't even draw it. it won't look funny, i promise. Don't believe me, check out the some of the other sketchbook threads and their smaller head sketches: the eye is very expressfully but very simply marked mostly by just a line for the upper lid and the iris.
Hey you have a great start going there. My best advice would just be to draw from reference and life as much as possible! When ever you can, just draw, its amazing the results that you can see. Do muscle and bone studies and pose studies and just draw! You're well on your way, keep it up!
Check out my Website! http://www.davehiemstra.ca------------------
@Ryan - thanks for the crits man. You're right, my eyes and noses look retarded and sometimes even my lips. But i'mm working on it; i'll especially work on the eyes thing. Thanks again!
@Dave - you're absolutely right. I've seen some good results this year after a couple of weeks just by drawing from life. Can't stop now!
I'm currently going through Drawing From The Right Side of The Brain and i don't know how to make that cardboard thing with the thread. Well I kind of do but in one of the assignments I have to have a clear sheet of paper stuck on it and have to place the board on my hand and draw it. Just wanted to ask if I could use overhead sheets for the clear sheet.
Already you have shown progression, even from your first post. It's obviouse to me you have the ability to learn and get better at drawing, and I've got some suggestions for you. As a fellow artist trying to progress, i find that studying anatomy books and drawing from them is VERY helpful in the learning process (especially when trying to draw without a reference). Already I see you are doing this with your drawings of the skeleton. You should definately purchase a book on anatomy and study often (if you haven't done so already.) Your rendering is looking good so far, but of course their is always room for improvement there as well. I suggest you take a look at MetalWind's sketchbook. He is one of the best examples at someone who makes it a priority to constantly study anatomy in his sketchbook. Just draw constantly and you will progress very quickly.
Thanks for the suggestions Abra. Really appreciate you coming in and taking a peek. About the anatomy books, I have two. Dynamic Figure Drawing from Mr. Hogarth and Anatomy for The Artist by Tom Flint. My next step is using the books; at this stage I am mainly looking at reference pics of poses and trying to convert them into basic shapes. And yes I absolutely agree, an artist should never stop drawing.
You've got the right idea, man! Keep it up! Get yourself some anatomy books and learn a bit about proportion. Keep up those studies and work from life as often as you can! You'll be where you want to be in no time at all!
Thanks for the looks Zebz. I just got Anatomy Lessons from the Great Masters by Robert Hale and Terrence Coyle. Amazing book;i've read 3 pages so far and i've learned so much it's not even funny. Definately worth it. Sorry no post today, had to study for Math. Ughh. Anyways. expect an update tommorow for sure.

Comments and crits needed.
okiii dokiiiiOriginally Posted by Chandan
ur approach .. is really good .. .. i dunno how it seems to u but... !
u should practice perspective drawing some more ... its the only fundamental u need to experience drawing
u already subdevided bodys into simple geometrie - which is a really good task to understand and learn how to draw body movement
::: subdevide other bodys in simple geometrie 2 -> cubes and cylinders - add vanishing points to indicate distance - u allready made some pics with that ... practice more .. its a really good exercise * iam doing that since ... 4 month ..its worth it !!!! *
most of the parcels can be transtaled into easy gemetrie - chest head hands fingers ... cubes arms legs throat cylinders..
houses cars trucks technical stuff.. ur pc monitor ur keyboard... just cubes
draw and rotate cubes ... rotating cubes gives a good feeling for foreshorteting ..maybe cube drawing sounds fukin boring but its an awesome exercise.. and its really hard to practice that with more complex geometrie like cars trucks or faces... the base still is a cube .. all information about 3dness and volume are in there.. a face and car and trucks are in fact just more complex cubes...u can draw a face which is setup with .. 20 cubes and u can draw a super realistic face which has.. maybe 2500 cubes..
subdeviding a face coast some time but.. if u do that.. u get absolute awareness of its surface.. u could draw it in full 3dness... 12900 variations ^^ .. iam trying to understand face surface.. since 4 month.. its hard but .. worth it again ! gives me a good pure feeling about my object my surface and its behaviour when i rotate it + perspectiv + vanishing point
depenjding on the cubes rotaten the shapes which setupr ur face and eys and lips.. change because i see them from diffrent viewpoint now .. - u made that with these eyes u draw - take a lil box and rotate it in ront of ur eye..and move it in front of ur eye ..from left to right and so on... keep ur eyes looking straight in front of u - moving ur eyes will change the viewpoint* then draw that cube in diffrent rotation states...
... practice the drawing fundamentals*** and u will feel urself imrpoving evry single day
*** fundamentals : symmetrie!!! perspective which includes vanishing point !! and foreshortening! ... practice that.. and in some years u just can draw evrything almost perfectly
keep it up !
*u can browse my latest posts i made.. i postet lotsa stuff about that *see above* in there .. maybe this helps u too
Last edited by -sideshowbob-; December 23rd, 2004 at 12:07 PM. Reason: chek sig
Thank YOU BOB! Great crits and suggestions!!! Will update tomm!
Can't wait till boxing day! Finally getting a scanner. Then it's drawing everyday.
Finally got a scanner! Here's some stuff i've done over the winter break. Some what happy with the quality but not the quantity.
[Copied from the great Menter's work for future reference and studies. All credit goes to him. Thank's for the reference Mentler, it really helped.]
Will do some arm and hand studies tommorow. Really need them!
Some hands for today.
BTW, if you see anything wrong that I am doing, please inform me because I don't want it to become a habit. And if anyone has a link to any good head tutorials online please post them because I am having some trouble with heads.
really g00000d chandy
i see.. u have that dynamic anatomy drawing book from burne hogarth ?!
if so.. there is a part for head too..of no.. thers a book about portrait drawing available at amazon * theres also another hogarth book which is a collection of all his books it bringt together : body anatomy + hand + portrait + bit cloth and folds and bit shadow shading* he adopts the parts about light shadow and portrait into seperat books... try get on of these
:: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books
i can give u some tips n tricks on how i proceed and how i learned head shape drawing/understanding
another thing is..evry line u draw is alligned in 3d space.. what u dont see is the foreshortetning-amount of these lines..
u can draw a short line which is alligned into space.. u dont see the lines distance.. on ur paper its short..maybe ____
but in fact.. depending on what that line represents.. it can be a part of something that is 1000meters high or long.. so that line i drew.. is almost foreshortened .. when u change ur viewpoinr or rotate the object that line becomes longer *rotate ur pencil in front of ur eye
from front u see something like -> O <- *zoomed* ^^
and from side u see something like ----- or =======
its like a cylinder
now rotate ... from ------- full lenght u get --- in 45° degree rotate untill u have full rotate and look at the front again...
between side and front view which represent 0° and 90° orientation.. u have 88 other degree orientations u can draw.. *full 3D is 360^360 = 129000 orientations when rotating.. some parts get covered by some other parts * nose and mouth volume are tricky*
i just took me the bottom top side and profile view to get a rid of the face shape.. then i made studies from front and profile view.. and i rotate the shape.. that it looks like the head is looking up or down.. this gives a better shape controle.. its the shape u draw.. but u rotate it over ur papers surface.. u can rotate ur paper or ur head.. *try that with cubes first*
to understand body parts.. u have to look at them from at least 3 views *front profile top* .. keep in mind that there is a third dimension
this is most tricky part :> because i cant actually DRAW 3D.. i only can SEE it 3D.. the piece stays 2d..doenst matter what i draw
i can draw a line with corners.. i can see that line as a 2d shape.. or i can see how its aligned into 3d space * I decide how much each line is foreshortened* !!!!
:: subdevide ur stuff into cubes * fingers are 3 cubes* ur arms = cylinders ..l egs 2 ..chest.. rip cage a cube head .. a cube ... and so on..
:: study body parts volumes
:: draw !simplified! bodys made out of cylinders and cubes
::: add some more detailed to cubical body setup -
:: subdevided body parts can become more complex cubes
keep it !
cya on msmn
Hey thanks for the long crits Bob. I did some basic shape rotating yesterday.
yeeaa u got the basic idea ..
draw some varies of these cubes.. long ones wide .. flat... something like that
try draw cubes along ur body pard dimensions... i mean.. draw a cube which is similar to lower arm and upper arm lenght... and rip cage and stuff like that * helps u chekking proportions*
keep it uup >,.<
msn ?
Are you on MSN a lot? I'm asking because since you've added me I haven't seen you on. Maybe there's something wrong; i'm online almost all the time.
wasnt online yesterday.. but today i will !
hope to cya then !
whats ur time zone ?
Bob has given some good advice. Keep drawing. Thats the most important thing. You WILL improve. Looking forward to seeing you around more.
Oh, and stop beating yourself down. It does nothing for you. The title of this thread 'crappy sketchbook' does nothing for you and it makes folks not want to come in and help you. Quit that!
Crappy sketchbook?! Pfft! This isn't the least bit crappy, there's loads of visible improvement! You're doing great work here, dude! Keep at it and you can change your thread to Chandan's Kickass Sketchbook >=]
Only the heart intrinsically noble can succeed...
Check out My Sketchbook: Leave critiques, encouragement, and good jokes within.
Thanks a ton (tonne) guys! I needed that kick start. I have recently been bogged down by math and cisco exams Stupid high school. I can't wait till next semester though; gonna take my art to the next level b/c i barely have any hard courses.
Will post something today.
I tried to paint apples...did not succeed. Will try agian though.

Enhancing photos selectively with Tintii
Tintii, a modest image-processing program, transforms color images into black-and-white pictures then enhances specific areas with eye-catching colorizing effects.
Important objects can be highlighted in a picture by blurring the background, cutting out the subject, removing the color from unimportant areas, or adding color to important features. An example of the last variation is Schindler's List [1], filmed by Steven Spielberg entirely in black and white, except for one scene showing a child wearing a bright red coat in the otherwise monochrome shot. A similar technique was used in the film Pleasantville [2] by removing color, then adding it back in selectively.

It's 2011. That statement quite often is used to illustrate how far we've come in technology, education and as a democracy.
Tomorrow it will be 235 years since King George III wrote in his diary, "Nothing important happened today." Maybe from his vantage point in London that was the case, but 3,000 miles to the west, a group of feisty colonists were embarking on an experiment in self-government. It was like nothing ever done before or since, a government by the people, for the people and of the people. Self-rule.
It's Saturday morning and, lo and behold, there's a freshly delivered Dispatch out on the driveway. Welcome to the first Saturday edition of The Dispatch.
In the last month, we have been dizzied by a seemingly endless stream of youth summits and "motivational" drivel.
If you have your eye on the Columbus Municipal School District lately, you might think the superintendent position is up for election.
Recently, the newspaper has received criticism for prominently featuring violent crime stories, particularly a story about a Columbus man who attacked another with a machete.
Every year, more than 830 children, ages 14 and under, drown. During the summer months, the time of year when we're most likely to be in the water, drowning deaths among children spike by a rate of 89 percent over the rest of the year, according to safekids.org.
As deplorable as the thought is of the Westboro Baptists yelling inflammatory messages at the funeral of Army Sgt. Christopher Bell, who was killed in the service of our country, it is just as sobering to think this message could be stifled just because we may disagree with them.
It's become an often-expressed sentiment. Still, it's no less true: Children today are facing harsh realities we wouldn't have imagined even a decade ago.
In 2009, we challenged Columbus schools to implement an innovative 11-month "success calendar" at all five of its elementary schools, rather than just two.
Eighty people died in fires in Mississippi last year. Only in two of those incidents were there smoke detectors. In one of those cases, it is unknown whether the detector was working.
It's questionable when any elected official says he made a weighty decision simply because someone asked him nicely.
By 8:30 Saturday morning Beth and I were coffeed up and headed east on 82. Our destination: Gordo, AL, for the town's annual celebration of the mule and the chicken, Mule Day Chicken Fest.
Over in Starkville, they've got the knives out. The city was rocked by two stabbings on Tuesday. The one that caught everyone's attention was the 6 a.m. attempted robbery at Shipley Donuts, which is nestled in a popular, busy strip mall along Highway 12.
Summer is here. Inevitably, some of our kids will experience a slide -- and we're not talking about the Slip 'n' Dip.
But before we set off on our Memorial Day weekend, we should all pause to remember this number: 1,344,000.
A new crop of college graduates is entering the workforce. On their heels are a fresh crop of college freshmen.
Change is afoot, and Columbus is facing some critical decisions that promise to shape the city, for better or worse, for years to come.
They're not there yet. But they took a step in the right direction.
We're not attorneys. But it doesn't take one to see that recent actions by the board were unethical, if not illegal. State law agrees.

two.38 When sensitivity is extreme, current law lets the President notify only the "gang of eight"--the chairmen and ranking minority members of the two intelligence committees, the majority and minority leaders of the Senate, and the Speaker and minority leader of the House.
No process can legislate wisdom or prevent circumvention. Process is, as we have seen, no guarantee against stupid presidential decisions or the resulting public scandals. But a requirement for advance notification--coupled with a ban on covert operations by any entity, public or private, other than the CIA, and with specific civil and criminal penalties for violators--would take the United States further in managing the inherent tension between secrecy and open government that is the root of American ambivalence about covert action.
If the Congress saw fit to create a single focal-point for engaging the Executive in discussion about both overt and covert uses of force, so much the better. If doing so contributed to the kind of real consultation between politicians not dependent on one another that was the point of the process for setting in motion covert action, better still. Surely, the first task is to give Congress something like the consultative role in open war-making that it now has in covert.

I stayed at Residhome for 2 weeks in Sep-Oct, 2012.
Its a nice apartment hotel with clean and cosy rooms. Its expensive for short stays but hotel gives us special rates for longer stays. The studio rooms are small and although the hotel says, its good for 3 people but I would not recommend it considering the lack of free space in the rooms. All the rooms have a good heating system, television and I-pod Dock etc. In addition, a small kitchenette is also a part of the room with a hot plate, microwave, crockery and a dish washer. I first stayed for 3 days in such a room with another colleague of mine and it was very difficult.
But later, we spoke to the manager and they shifted us to 2 bedroom apartment at special rate as were going to stay for long duration and hotel had some tie-up with the company we were visiting. The 2 bedroom and single bedroom apartment are much more spacious and facilities are all the same. But they do have balcony :)
Hotel provides free wi-fi which is a must for business travellers and otherwise also. Best part about the place is its proximity to La defense which is hub for a number of office buildings. You walk for 5 minutes and u reach the station. Great, isn't it?
Hotel only provides breakfast and no lunch or dinner. Thus, the dining area is rather small. And, you may have to wait for a while to get a seat as this hotel is occupied almost all of the time. Breakfast is nice. You get quite a few options.
Staff is courteous and friendly. You may have to check with them well in advance regarding the availability of bigger apartments as they are few in number. But, all in all its a great place to stay. And, I am going with a 4 on 5

France's Fillon Meets With Religious Leaders Over Food Dispute
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon began meetings with Jewish and Muslim leaders today to diffuse a dispute about religious dietary codes that has threatened to dominate France's presidential elections.
In a direct reference to Kosher and Halal practices of preparing meat, Fillon said in a radio interview March 5 that "religions should reflect on dietary rules that don't have much to do with the modern state of science, technology and sanitation."
Animals killed under Halal and Kosher rules aren't stunned before being slaughtered, unlike the usual practice in France.
Fillon's comments followed statements by both supporters and opponents of President Nicolas Sarkozy that have made Halal meat a dominant election issue this week, even as unemployment hovers near 10 percent and Greece is in talks with creditors to avoid a default. The first round of France's presidential vote is April 22, with Sarkozy trailing Socialist challenger Francois Hollande in polls.
Questions about Halal meat took up 30 minutes of a 50 minute press conference yesterday by Sarkozy's campaign spokeswoman, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, who said the reaction to Fillon's comments was disproportionate.
"The government is particularly attentive to the respect of secularism and to the respect for religion," government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse said at a press conference today. "Fillon's meetings will express the respect that is due all religions. The Halal issue is closed."
Chief Rabbi
Fillon met today with Gilles Bernheim, the chief Rabbi of France, and Joel Mergui, head of France's Jewish Consistory, a body set up under Napoleon two centuries ago to organize Jewish religious practices in France. He'll meet tomorrow with the head of the Paris mosque, Dalil Boubakeur, and Mohammed Moussaoui, the president of the French Council of Muslim Faith, France's largest Muslim organization.
"He explained that nothing he said should put into question the continuation of the ritual slaughter of animals in France," Mergui said after the meeting. "We don't want this issue to be a hostage to the election."
The Halal issue first arose last month when anti-immigrant candidate Marine Le Pen claimed most of the meat consumed in Paris was Halal meat, and that many non-Muslims were eating Halal meat without knowing it. Butchers' groups denied the claim.
Halal Meat Labels
Interior Minister Claude Gueant then said several times last week that foreigners should be denied the vote in local elections because the city councils they elect might impose Halal meat in school cafeterias. Sarkozy then suggested last weekend that all meat on sale in France carry labels saying whether it was prepared under religious guidelines.
Bernheim says he's opposed to labeling, which would stigmatize kosher meat and render more expensive what he called a religious obligation.
Hollande said during a campaign visit near Paris yesterday that Sarkozy should show "restraint" on the issue. Some of Sarkozy's allies have also distanced themselves. Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on March 5 that Halal "is a false problem" and "clashes of civilizations are not my cup of tea."
France has both Western Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish populations. "We realize that Jews aren't the target, but we have become collateral damage," Bernheim said. "The target is a certain strain of Islam that scares some people."

Urban Splash seeks architects for another Walsall site
Urban Splash is looking for architects to draw up designs for its latest site at Walsall Waterfront.
The trendy regeneration company is already working with SMC Alsop, shedkm and Feix & Merlin on phase one of the Walsall Waterside project, and is now calling for designers to come up with ideas for the new site, to create a new quarter for the West Midlands town.
Officially launching at property fair MIPIM on 13 March, the competition is being organised with Advantage West Midlands, Walsall Council and Walsall Regeneration Company.
The site is a 0.2ha triangular piece of land bordered on two sides by canals, and the consortium is looking for a hotel, conference facilities, flexible leisure/performance space, and public realm, along with residential space, offices, bars and restaurants.
Urban Splash chairman Tom Bloxham (pictured) said: 'We're looking for excitement, flair and imagination – basically we're looking for the defining piece of architecture for Walsall.
'With phase one including incredible architecture, we're keen that phase two will deliver more buildings that are equally successful in their combination of form and function.'
Urban Splash are looking for expressions of interest, with site plans, site section and elevations.
A shortlist of six practices will then be asked to submit designs by June. A winner will be announced following a competitive interview process in July.

John Dolan "John and George" @ Howard Griffin Gallery, LondonJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 16, 2014
John Dolan spent 20 years living rough on the streets of London, amassed over 300 criminal convictions and was in London prisons for 12 years. He was stuck in what he refers to as a revolving door of prison and homelessness with no real hope in sight. This all started to change around five years ago when John was given George the Dog by a homeless couple who had exchanged George for the price of a strong can of lager. In caring for George Dolan had a reason not to go to go back to prison as it would have meant he would have had to give up the dog. As a result Dolan stopped dodging the law and started to change his life.

Toiling over toxic resins, blister packs and poor working conditions, The Sucklord brings us the best of the worst in reimagined popular culture.

As President Bush follows his G-8 visit to Berlin with a stop in Bulgaria, Congressional Quarterly covers a bizarre 'kerfuffle' over a North Korean money laundering operation involving a Bulgarian bank:
During a private meeting in Washington last February, Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert M. Kimmitt warned Bulgaria's Finance Minister that the Economic and Investment Bank (EI), chaired by the girlfriend of powerful Sofia mayor and presidential aspirant Boiko Borissov, was a target of a North Korean money-laundering effort.
The bank denies it has any connections with North Korea and denounced Kimmitt for spreading unfounded "rumors," which it charges originated with political rivals of Borissov, whose right-wing nationalist party is surging in the polls...
EI Bank board Chairwoman Tsvetelina Borislavova, who acknowledged in an interview with CQ that she was "living with" Borissov, said she had been informed of Kimmitt's warning "personally, by the finance minister," Plamen Oresharski, upon his return from Washington last February.
But she said the tip was based on "false information" concocted by political enemies of her boyfriend Borissov, who before he became mayor last year was a top official in Bulgaria's powerful Interior Ministry.
Borislavova said the bank had thoroughly investigated the allegation and found that "there has never been any account opened by a North Korean company or a joint venture company" in the bank...
So the live-in girlfriend of the likely future president sits on the board of a bank that may or may not be laundering money for the North Koreans depending on who you ask--your choices being the live-in girlfriend or the deputy secretary of the Treasury. CQ stresses that Borrisov has become a close ally of President Bush, and that Bulgaria is home to three U.S. bases. Further, Bulgaria is pressing to become part of the anti-ballistic missile shield that will see U.S. installations set in nearby Poland and the Czech Republic.
But when Borrisov travels to Washington this week, he's unlikely to discuss the details of such cooperation with American military officials. According to CQ, the highest ranking official on Borrisov's dance card is Washington mayor Adrian Fenty. No word on whether the live-in girlfriend is joining Borrisov on the trip.

maddog learns a lesson about deprecated formats but finds a workable solution.
File Photos
Often I talk about documents and the importance of open formats, mostly oriented toward formats like the Open Document Format (ODF) standard versus Microsoft's OOXML specification.
Recently I was nostalgic and decided to look at some old photographs. At one point in my life, I took a lot of pictures with a 35mm film camera. To cut the cost of developing the pictures, I chose to have slides made instead of prints. Of course, slides are not that convenient to view because you have to set up a slide projector and screen.

noob ? about suspension
this is my first pick up truck and i was wondering .what is the benefits between airbagggin and coils or vise versa
I noticed that you are still relatively new here so let me start by welcoming you in the event I hadn't already!
Now, for the good stuff, I have an 08' 2500 so I am not at all educated enough to advise you properly but read some of the threads that have been started on this same subject and you're likely to find what you're after. Also, usually someone with more expertise will chime in shortly. Also, if you have any pics of your girl, we'd love to see them!
Thanks and see you around the Z
Bags are for adjustability, thats pretty much it. You can get a truck to the ground w/o them, but you cant drive it. :P Coils are predictable, reliable and are cheaper. If you are on a budget plan a nice suspension kit that is static dropped (bolt on dropped parts that are not adjustable)

"....as with any good sermon, it's the man behind the keyboards who keeps you awake. John Ginty's simple piano melodies, throbbing Hammond organ, and untamed attack on the Wurlitzer adeptly anchor this album."
- Jason Lewis (FFWD Weekly Review of Blind Boys of Alabama's "Higher Ground")
"Ginty is known for his great organ work with the Family Band, playing off of the energy of Randolph. But, on " I Shall Not Walk Alone", it is his beautiful piano work that makes the song. For any fan of Ben Harper- or music in general, for that matter- this song is worth the price of the album."

BET Networks Nabs Two Sitcoms in Multi-Million-Dollar Reverse Syndication Deal
The Hollywood Reporter -- Entertainment Studios has done a multi-million dollar, multi-year deal with BET Networks for all 208 episodes of its two first year situation comedies, The First Family and Mr. Box Office - most of which aren't yet produced - to begin airing on their Centric network April 19.
This turns the usual TV business model upside down. Instead of starting on a network, going to cable and then ending in broadcast syndication, these sitcoms started in syndication. Then they'll head to cable and Entertainment Studios HD network, Comedy.tv.
"We're thrilled to partner with Entertainment Studios and add these two incredible series to our growing comedy programming slate on Centric," said Paxton K. Baker, evp and general manager of Centric. "The First Family and Mr. Box Office star African American talent that resonate with our audience."
The two sitcoms' stars include Bill Bellamy, Gary Busey, Gladys Knight, Christopher B. Duncan, Kellita Smith, Jackée, Marla Gibbs, John Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Rick Fox, Tim Meadows, Essence Atkins and Vivica A. Fox.
"This is a historic deal," says Entertainment Studios founder, owner and CEO Byron Allen. "We figured out how to crack the code to create, finance, produce and distribute scripted sitcoms with no broadcast network involved. We did it through syndication and then layered in cable. No one has ever done that."
RELATED: BET Renews Kevin Hart's "Real Husbands of Hollywood"
Each episode will air first on Centric between Monday and Friday, and then the same episode will air in syndication that weekend. A week later that same episode will air on Comedy.tv.
Entertainment Studios also plans to offer the sitcoms as a strip in broadcast syndication for 2014, Allen confirmed to THR. The four-year deal would call for the shows to run Monday -Friday through at least 2017 for what an industry source said was a value of around $250 million.
Allen would not say how much BET is paying for his two sitcoms, except to say it is in the millions and is for several years. It is believed to be a three-year deal.
Viacom's BET Networks created Centric as a spinoff of Black Entertainment Television. The general interest channel, which originally showcased music, is available in 28 million homes.
VIDEO: Footage of Rick Ross-Young Jeezy Brawl at BET Hip-Hop Awards Hits Internet
The broadcast syndication ratings for the two sitcoms run around a 0.6 to a 0.8, is mediocre but acceptable for weekend syndication. National sponsors for the shows include Wal-Mart, McDonalds, AT&T and Hershey, most of whom are expected to also work with Centric.
Allen, a comedian and show host as well as a producer, has worked on court, lifestyle and comedy programs. These sitcoms are his first scripted shows, financed internally by his privately-held L.A. based company. The shows cost around $300,000 per episode, a source says -- a fraction of the cost to a national broadcast network for a sitcom.
Allen committed to 104 episodes of each sitcom without even a pilot. They began airing in weekend syndication last September and currently are cleared in more than 85 percent of U.S. TV homes.
Allen was personally involved in the negotiations. Barbara Zaneri, executive vp, program strategy, scheduling and acquisitions for BET represented the Viacom networks.

Great news!
Prove that you are the world's greatest swordsman in Blade Symphony: a slash-em-up featuring a highly detailed and in-depth sword fighting system. Face down other players in skill-based tactical swordplay, in 2vs2 team duels, or participate in sandbox FFA game modes.
News update! State of the engine address. The Environments report. New weapons too.
Posted by Jkupo on Jul 1st, 2008
Another set of updates. As most of our loyal watchers have seen, we did a ridiculous update on content today, at least screenshot and video wise. We're pretty excited about how things are going and so hopefully these fruits of our labor will be enough to satiate til the next update. And random press release:
First interview with the design team, Flux and Kupo
The update is relatively large, at least from the news standpoint so I'll be breaking it down in sections. We'll start with:
Aesthetics and World
The game environment has been significantly changing with the addition of our genius mapper Ztormi. With the pair comes a fresh set of eyes and talent for the project. As seen in the screenshots below you can see we've added quite a few new levels to the roster.
The levels are, in order are the Airship, Terminus Square, Village, and Temple. The four are being developed constantly, so even at this moment the screens may not be completely up to date. The airship level is designed with a heavy final fantasy influence in mind, an art direction we're still not quite sure of yet, so don't get completely attached. Its hard not to imagine some fear of falling while dueling on the deck of a floating ship. Terminus Square is one of our prototypical Greater Wing maps, with huge sweeping gestures and imperial looking decor inside of an ultraurban city. The Village tries to capture the essence of the rural townships ruled by the Greater Wing and frequented by the Vagrant elements of the game. The Temple is plainly asian in influence and is designed to show the extremely distant and almost isolated nature of the intense training that the duelists go through. We're very proud of what we have so far, and look for these new maps in the alpha.
Another fun thing added in was the creation of a new sword. We all were getting a little sick of the rectangular stick like creation, so Flux went ahead and made this vicious looking guy for everyone to enjoy. Given, its being held by one of the resistance fighters, but it looks painful. Expect to see it in more upcoming playtests.
Engine and Gameplay
If you've gotten to see the playtest video, quite a bit has changed. Flux has been hard at work modifying, implementing, and fine tuning all the various features in the game. As of this writing the game has been adjusted again so don't take what you see in the below playtest as gospel when it comes to the game design.
Among the features currently implemented on this particular playtest are the standard fair, directional sword attacks and blocking. Jump has been reduced due to the strangeness of floating swordsman though. One of the larger changes is the inclusion of counterattacks, which gives the blocking ability some real usefulness on the battlefield other than turtling. The counterattack, as seen in the video, is thrown after a successful block, launching the player toward the attacker and coming down with a pretty forceful cut. It still needs a bit of tweaking but the fact that we can pull it off is a huge step.
Another feature shown in the video but is being heavily modified is the ability to "jump", which basically catapults the player at an alarming rate toward their opponent. It's a form of dash but can be aimed directionally. Its a pretty jarring feeling and leaves a scar in space similar to when the strider cannons fire in HL2. How to implement this without giving the player an epileptic seizure is anyones guess. The jury is still out on it currently. Flux has been doing a lot of work to the engine so its hard to type it all out here. Various glitches and bugs have been fixed, so hopefully we'll have a (relatively) bug free system at alpha. Which brings me to my next point...
We are still in need of Alpha Testers! For everyone that has currently applied, sit tight, we'll be in contact shortly. There is some footage of our first set of alpha testers hosted at the last meeting, however this will be posted a bit later when I get the footage from my camera at home.
Please see the listing below. As always we encourage any comments or critiques you have, so please feel free to leave us a note here on the site or on our email at TeamBerimbau at Gmail dot Com.
Positions Still Open:
The following positions are available. While we do look for people with particular skills, a mix of many skills is even more valued than one niche. We definitely want people who are multi-talented. New listings are listed in red.
The people we look for should also bring some fresh ideas to the table. We definitely don't want to be slave drivers, telling you to make our mod for us. If you have an interesting idea to contribute to Berimbau, you'll be free to present it to the team where we make decisions as a group. The people have their ideas implemented the most often are the ones who are also able to do that themselves, so if you are both skilled and have many new ideas, here's your chance to try them out.
When you apply be ready to show work, portfolio, or examples of what you can do. A CV would also be required.
Great news!
Great update team, this is one of my top mods that I am looking forward to. I love sword fighting games that add complexity to the controls instead of just clicking on the enemy or whatnot. So far pvkII is my favority sword mod but I am hoping this one rules them all ;)
Keep up the great work!
Nice update. I see you are walking forward. Keep walking :)
Very interesting...Im watching
This mod is..getting more and more interesting
wouldnt it be easier to put the alpha on moddb and have people download it, play it and leave you comments?
Duly noted. It's a private Alpha, so we are not releasing a download.
When we get to a Beta, we will release for everyone to try.
The mod looks awesome!
looks good so far, are there plans for a lock on system?
We're debating it... :)
I think a lock on system would create a much better flow. (e.g. you won't be running round in circles and running past the other player just trying to hit them)
It should be optional though, like a server variable for hardcore play.
Keep up the good work :)
exactly what i was thinking.
Yeah.. we're definitely debating this. For alpha and maybe part of beta we'll experiment with this mode of playing as a server setting, but for release we'll definitely want only one camera type (for balance, stats and ranking reasons).
I think for duels something like a lock-on makes the most sense. We'll simply have to try it out.

I was experimenting with food I had on hand: squash, zucchini, bulgar, and whole wheat pasta. I used the basics of a recipe for squash and zucchini pasta, adding bulgar to give the dish some bulk without adding meat. It is suprisingly light in calories, but fills you up!

It's really high in sodium, probably because of the cream of mushroom soup I added. Try a low sodium version for less sodium.
Also, I calculated the nutrition facts for the recipe based on 2 servings as an entree. If for lunch or served with something else, should make 4 servings.
Super simple and decently quick, one of my all time favorites my mom used to make when I was growing up.
