Lucario - WIP request, outline half done by snoopysoapWatch
©2013-2016 snoopysoap
well guys, i'm happy with the body but still can't quite get the mouth right. opinions? i'm not sure so yeah xD
To be honest, I think you've done a pretty good job with the mouth - I know how hard it is to draw front-on views of long faced animals, I still can't get it right! When trying to make something look like it's coming towards you, shading tends to play a massive role I've found. x.x Perhaps try your hand with different ways of shading around the mouth to make it look 3D?
haha i know right! so hard to do!
yeah i'm kinda thinking i might photo copy it, do some fiddling with shading and see how it looks. xD thanks dude you've just restored my urge to finish this

Obama Nation Abomination
Friday, August 22, 2008
Comments [4]
Like always, it seems that the Republicans keep resorting to the same smear tactics...plain lies that no man in his right mind shoul heed to; unfortunately, I suspect that many people do not make the effort to inform themselves on the issues and they become extremely manipulable by smear campaigns; I hope there are fewer of them than in previous years, when, tampered elections or not, there were at least a considerable part who voted for Bush in the first place, which makes you wonder..; on the short term, maybe one solution would be the Democrats intensively airing ads that precisely dispel the unfounded accusations posed by the Republicans; on the long term, I believe it's education, education, education for the masses, because 'the wisdom of the crowds' seems to sometimes elude those very same crowds, provided the 'right' type of media coverage..
You ignored the main reason that smears (and even negative facts) against Obama are not working: since Feb. the mainstream media - print, TV, and radio (including, I'm sorry to say, NPR and OTM) - have been in the tank for Obama and have, indeed, acted as a part of his campaign. They used all their energy to smear Hillary and Bill Clinton (finally succeeding in doing what they were unable to do during the 90s: bring down a President) and, having gotten Obama nominated, are not about to let all that hard work go to waste.
The wife (McCain) is out and the mistress (Obama) is in.
This has nothing to do with journalistic standards or the relative strength of Fox or the WSJ and everything to do with the fact that the bias this year is toward the Democratic candidate and not the Republican one.
David Remnick made a stunning omission discussing press coverage of the events in Georgia. There is a difference between entering a secessionist territory within your own national borders (as Georgia did), and invading a foreign sovereign country, occupying and destroying large portions of its cities and forests (as Russia did in Georgia). Press coverage of Georgia attributed less culpability to Georgia's attempt (however ill-advised) to reassert control over its own land of S. Ossetia than to Russia's vengeful excesses in Georgia far beyond S. Ossetia. Debunking hawkish comparisons of Putin to Hitler in 1938-39, Mr. Remnick neglected the exact analogies of history: (1) Russia's 2 brutal military campaigns in Chechnya, regaining control over its own secessionist "autonomous" republic, flattening the Chechen capital and many of its people; and (2) the USSR invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. In Georgia, Russia also violated the boundaries of another territory where Russia had undertaken a "peacekeeping" role -- Abkhazia. On August 8, there was peace in Abkhazia; instead of keeping the peace, Russia itself violated the agreement it was to safeguard, and incited the Abkhazians to join them in breaking it (they obliged).
Kittly Kelly, Craig Unger, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, and Greg Palast (just to name a few). It seems that the "outrage" and the "indignation" over smears and swiftboating is notable when a liberal is the target of the smear.
Me thinks you all doth protest too much.

Tammie Coe Cakes
So true. Tammie's pastries are nothing short of wondrous, pieces of edible art handcrafted fresh daily. They're beautiful to look at, in swirling shapes of molded ganache, studded with fresh berries, wrapped with ribbons, and decorated with piping and florals so elaborate they almost look like pieces of expensively upholstered furniture. The flavors are incredible -- like our zebra, white chocolate mousse layered with chocolate cake and raspberries, or banana pudding and chocolate sponge cake layered with chocolate Frangelico mousse and toasted hazelnuts. With 72 hours' notice, Tammie will make a custom cake with all our favorite flavors, though we're happy as can be with the standard stuff, like strawberry shortcake, a beautiful pink and white round with vanilla custard, strawberries and vanilla sponge cake. There are always tarts, bite-size cream puffs, cookies, scones, muffins and pop tarts, too. Such a sweet life!

50 years after a devastating earthquake destroyed parts of Alaska, many residents are practicing survival and medical techniques to prepare themselves for the next "big one", including the governor.
Governor Sean Parnell visited the Exercise Alaska Shield and Vigilant Guard at the Alaska state fairgrounds in Palmer on Friday to observe military and civilian exercises and drills in a community effort to prepare Alaskans for a major disaster. 75 Alaskans volunteered there as "wounded" residents as a whole team of makeup artists created fake injuries for responders to practice treating.
The Alaska Shield 2014 exercise is scheduled to continue through April 2, with dozens of agencies and local groups participating in various exercises that simulate similar problems faced by responders and survivors of the 1964 earthquake. A 9.2 magnitude earthquake was simulated 70 miles east of Anchorage in Jonah Bay, with recurring aftershocks that could be felt as far away as northern Canada and Washington state, and tsunami impacts along the participating coastal regions.
In Valdez, a disaster exercise simulated a communication blackout: no phones or internet connection, only radio provided by members of a local amateur radio club, whose purpose is to respond to such situations.
"We are providing amateur radio support for Alaska Shield 2014," said Robert Rountree, president of the amateur radio club. "We have an amateur radio group here in town that provides emergency communications."
Volunteers from the Alaska Red Cross provided food and shelter for a simulated 209,000 individuals and 97,000 pets in five regions of Alaska. Red Cross officials say that other activities involved fundraising, and equipment and staff provision efforts, as well as recovery drills.
Alongside civilians, Alaska-based military units provided support in medical transportation and damage assessment, training their leaders say will prove life-saving in real times of emergency. Soldiers of the 207th Brigade Support Company were responsible for transporting medical equipment and establishing a medical unit capable of providing care for even the most grievous of injuries, while Alaska National Guardsmen from the 208th Construction Management Team and the 207th Engineer Support Platoon were tasked to provide damage assessment of local infrastructures for emergency operation centers. Other Alaska guardsmen from the 103rd Civil Support Team and even guardsmen from Nebraska's 72nd Civil Support Team assisted the AFD during a HAZMAT training exercise in Anchorage at the Alaska State Public Health Lab.

Pyxis - A Preview by billiboy107Watch
©2011-2016 billiboy107
As some of you might of noticed from my previous screenshots, I've been working on another icon set and miui theme for a couple of weeks now. I am still trying to fish for some advice so here is a devoted preview of the icons. For a list of what the icon is for go to my blog. [link]
Plz link
glassy! nice nice
Ok maybe I'm not reading something right... But it looks like all the comments are from 2 to 3 years ago? Is there a link so we can download these icons?
can i download this icon ?
Can't wait till you release em!!
Can't wait to get 'em!!!
Great Work. I can hardly wait for the final icons. Thank you for your time and effort.
Amazing work dude, they are awesome
Am i being stupid? Is the shadow for effect or will it be part of the icon? presumably shodows on the launcher would need to be switched off to maximize the effect.
Looks awesome, can't wait till it's released!
These icons are amazing!
These are great! can't wait!
Really great looking set here, I await the release
WOW!! I love it, man!! Very nice work here!!
WoW! it's about time we get the "official teeze"...
Well it took me a long time to do this many icons. I have been so busy at work that I was left with just enough time to cook diner, take the dog out, and go to bed plus you add the fact it takes a couple of hours to do each icon and then you have to go back to clean them up.
Wow, I love them
very impressive 3D effects, and they're all so different
Looks great

I could somehow make a difference to the outcome of this 'Event' of mankind, not specifically me but maybe a number of people like me.
Now with the above in mind, please understand that at the time I was 34 years old, had a steady job and was/am married for many years with 3 young children
It started 4 years ago, I began waking up at stupid o'clock for no apparent reason.
Now bare in mind that I spent 3 years serving my country and on occasion the US as well during my late teens.
Some of the things I needed to research and understand ranged from the effects of Radiation, prevention of sickness etc, protection of sensitive electronic equipment during what I can only relate to as a severer solar storm of some sort. Also evasion and covert ops kinda stuff, in a nut shell - Bloody weird needs to learn and understand stuff I never thought I would need

I noticed it and thought 'whats This' abit like when you find a bruise and cant figure out or remeber where it came from or how you done it.
Mintwithahole, as stated above mate this is not the conclusion I have come to or decided to follow. I am merely asking question about possibilities.

The Funniest MPAA Ratings Descriptions of All Time
Before 1990, when the Motion Picture Association of America rated a movie, that rating was all the commentary they offered: G, PG, PG-13, R, X, M, GP (look 'em up!). But in September of that year, the MPAA began amending ratings with brief descriptions of the action that resulted in that rating, and that's where the fun began. You see, those descriptions give the rest of us an opportunity to not only figure out exactly what was offensive to this super-secret group of oral sex-loathing penis-fearers, but to read their oh-so-delicate descriptions of said offenses, which often read like hilarious blank verse — or, in the case of this week's "unusual behavior" notation on Fifty Shades of Grey's R rating, like the hothouse declarations of a delicate flower in a lesser Tennesse Williams play ("I do decla-yuh, this is such unusual behav-yuh, oh Beulah, get me to the faintin' couch!"). So as a thank you for literally years of giggles, here are some of our favorite MPAA descriptions:

Hi everyone,
My name is Cassandra and my friend Amber and I recently followed through with our dreams to create Beautiful Beginnings Doula and Lactation Services to help women, babies and families through one of the most special and important times in their lives. We are both Certified Lactation Counselors and DONA trained Doulas. Although we are already doulas, we would like to be certified through DONA to advance our practice. In order to do this, we need to attend several births and receive feedback from the moms, their midwife or doctor and a nurse if there is one present. Once we have each attended three births and received positive feedback, we will be certified by DONA. We have already completed all other requirements and just looking to quickly fulfil this last one by offering our services for free. The services include one prenatal visit, continuous support during labor and delivery and for one hour after to establish breast feeding and help out however we can and finally, one postpartum visit where we can discuss the birth, answer any questions you may have and see how you are doing. We would offer all services in the same manner as we would a paying client. We are still looking for three more births to attend at no cost to the client, so if you or anyone you know is interested, please feel free to pass the word along. You can check out our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/beautifulbeginningsdoula I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!

This is in response to Bill Wilson's letter (Jan. 3), that all gun owners require insurance.
Well if you are going to get that way about it, then all bicyclists need to have insurance also, and do not forget fishermen with those hooks flailing everywhere. And do not forget about the inebriates walking around down town stepping in front of vehicles. Do not forget the parents that do not watch their children every minute of the day, you know the ones with sling shots, and also bow hunters with their wayward arrows going this way and that (could poke an eye out). And do not forget that you must have an almost perfect credit score or you will have to carry SR22.
Next Mr. Wilson would require all people playing any type of sport to have insurance also. Let's see now there has to be something that I have left out; well if I have I am sure someone like Mr. Wilson will think of it.

THE 1ST GAMER9/1/2014 1:07:15 AM PermalinkListen to its truth! "I am the purple ball and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the system of his own choice? 'No!' says the man on PlayStation, 'Destiny belongs to the four.' 'No!' says the man on xbox, 'It belongs to the seniority.' 'No!' says the man on pc, 'It belongs to the master race.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Multiplatform, a game where the artist would not fear the censor, where the player would not be bound by paid subscriptions, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Destiny can become your game as well."

The end. (Or the beginning?)
Exactly 1 year ago today, I left the United Kingdom after living there for over 3 years. It's hard to even type that.
One of my dreams as a kid was to live abroad, whether for a long time or for good. That dream came true when I was given the opportunity to work in the United Kingdom. That dream came to an end, and not in the way in which I wanted. I even planned to return, but to no avail.
Were it up to me, I'd still be there. I wanted to get extra professional experience, dual citizenship, extra chances to travel, and a new life. I wanted things to end on my terms; I wanted to leave when I was ready. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I lost almost everything; my dream went down the drain. I came back to the United States with only a few suitcases holding a bit of clothing, a few books, and a few treasured items. Meanwhile, those that fucked up my dream continue on as if nothing happened.
I was ashamed because even though it wasn't my fault, I came home with nothing to show for my time there (or that's how it seems). I came home to couchsurfing, no job in sight, and very little support – family included. I lost a lot (and gained nothing but pounds). Family turned on me. Friends – scarce. And retelling my story over again – not an option. I have to live it and that's painful enough, so why the hell would I want to repeat it?
1 year ago today marked the end of an era, the end of my dream as I had it planned and hoped it'd turn out. It's still a bit painful, still bittersweet. I miss traveling. I miss my Meetup groups and the experiences that came along with them. I missed living abroad. I experience nostalgia sometimes, and I miss the few dear friends I made, so much. I miss what could've and should've been.
But maybe… just maybe… the end was the beginning of a new part of my life journey. Only time will tell. And as far as that country, I'm not yet done with it. I still have unfinished business there to handle, and most importantly, I still have a few dear friends there.
I needed to get this out. Thanks for reading/listening. And please stay tuned; I still have a long road ahead.
Delayed gratitude.
Today 10.01.2014:
I'm feeling: busy.
I'm listening to: A Charlie Brown Christmas.
I'm grateful for: my new Kindle, purchased exactly 1 month ago. The ability to read for pleasure again; while I love regular books, carrying them around only made my back & neck issues worsen. Paying off another debt in September. Filling out, and mailing off, the paperwork/application needed for my next highest professional license eligibility to take the professional exam for said licence. Health insurance. Having my oldest nephew not only come up to the U.S. for school, but living just a 5-10 minute drive away from me. Getting to see a friend of mine and her husband visiting from England (family wedding).
I'm creating: possibly another group at the job. A good future for myself, hopefully.
I'm enjoying: reading. How To Get Away With Murder. Being single – been single for a very long time, but enjoying it even more lately, as it allows me to focus on rebuilding my life without any male distractions.
I'm thinking about: the things that have come to fruition since that tarot reading. What's next for me after getting the next highest professional license. My next steps in terms of handling business in England. How damn high plane ticket prices are to England. How damn high plane ticket prices are to visit my aunt in Kentucky. WTF do these airlines want, a mortgage payment? :-|
I'm reading: The Alchemist. Also just finished To Kill A Mockingbird a little over 1 week ago; read it as a youngster, but read it with wiser eyes this time around.
I'm looking forward to: the weekend.
I'm learning to/practicing to/working on/embracing: be grateful because even though things aren't perfect, I can't really complain now. Take things one small step at a time; sometimes that's hard to remember. Remember that while seeing others doing well sometimes gets me down, their journeys aren't mine – my day will come.
Around the house are: my exercise sneakers.
In my kitchen: a few new grocery items.
I'm planning later in the coming week to: continue checking flight prices to Kentucky and England. Follow up with a few questions about handling my business in England. Follow up with the doctor for another appointment. Continue working out. Cook – we've now delegated cooking for each person on certain days, and the weekend is now delegated to me to cook weekly. Check that my license paperwork/application made it to the state board offices. Research study guides for the licensing exam. Hopefully see my oldest nephew – you know teens don't like hanging out with old folks, but damn it, he better see me this coming week. :-|
My quote/verse for the upcoming week is: Everyone has a story. http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2014/45272.html
I'm wishing you: a good week. Wholeness. Peace.
Life-changing day.
Exactly 1 year ago today, I received a letter in the mail that'd change my life for a long time, if not for good.
It was a Thursday evening, and I came home from a long day at work, with my team on duty for 3 days straight. I was glad to be home. It'd been my home for a little over 3 years, and I thought I'd be there for a long time to come.
There was mail in front of my door. I picked it up and saw that one piece was from the Home Office. I thought to myself
Oh, good. The Home Office will renew my visa. I'll get to stay here a bit longer, save money, travel a bit, and even look into dual citizenship.
I put away my belongings, settled in to read my mail and maybe watch a little television – likely something I DVRed, no doubt. I opened the Home Office mail and read it. Then my heart sank deep into my stomach. The Home Office denied my visa application. I was a overstayer.
I re-read the letter a few times to make sure that it wasn't a joke. But nothing in the letter changed. I was an accidental overstayer. I was speechless for a bit, and even fought back tears. (I can't remember who won – me or the tears.) I called my aunt and let her know, and I told her I'd keep her posted.
Little did I know that this was the beginning of the end – the end of my expatriate life, the end of my independence, and the end of my life as I lived it for ___ years. And to this day, I'm still feeling the effects – they aren't as strong as 1 year ago or even a few months ago, but they're still there.
I hope my day is so busy that I don't dwell on the anniversary. I hope that the bitterness goes away completely one day – some of it is gone, but some still remains. I hope that I can handle unfinished business over there. But in the meantime, for the way my expatriate life ended over there, that place can go straight to hell.
Late gratitude.
Today 07.25.2014:
I'm feeling: contemplative.
I'm listening to: one of my co-workers blasting music in Spanish. It's the end of the work week and big bosses took the day off, so why not.
I'm thinking: I've come a long way, but still have a very long way to go. I shouldn't let life get in the way of blogging weekly or so. I need a real vacation.
I'm reading: The Social Work Interview. Only a few pages in, but at least that's a start?
I'm looking forward to: getting my hair done; it has been over 3 months. Having next Friday off for seeing my stepmother & sister next weekend. Getting away for that weekend. The time when I'll be able to really travel again. The time when I'll finally be back on my feet, independent again.
I'm learning that: I've come a long way, but still have a very long way to go and more self-work to do. Sometimes, just listening is all a person needs to begin healing. (Luckily as an introvert, listening is one thing I do alright.) I don't have to allow someone else's negativity to affect me. I'm seeing how some people give without expecting anything back in return. I may have to do even more than I'm already doing to lose weight (and trust me, I'm tracking & doing everything possible). Expecting less = less disappointment.
I'm enjoying: my aunt's NutriBullet juices & smoothies. The experimentation has been quite tasty.
I'm grateful for: being employed in spite of the job being imperfect. The ability to buy a bus ticket to see my stepmother & sister. Paying off 3 debts so far this year. Doing the tarot reading that my friend kept insisting I should try; it was a new experience and gave me lots of food for thought. My aunt & uncle. My stepfather. Learning something new every day. Dodging literal bullets. Joining the gym. Finding a Groupon deal for the local kickboxing gym; it helps me mix up my exercise/workout while saving a few bucks. Finally making & completing one of my doctor's appointments. Living in a peaceful home with aunt & uncle from the very start – they say it's my energy/spirit/aura, but surely it isn't just me contributing. Chatting with my friend's daughter in England on Whatsapp – she's getting married next year, very happy for her and will definitely attend. Getting a call from another expatriate who's still in England but hopefully returning here soon – it was so good to hear from them.
Around the house are: fans and an air conditioner.
In the kitchen: fruits that aunt bought to experiment with juices & smoothies.
In the coming week, I plan to: follow-up with one more doctor's appointment. Cook once or twice. Work out (as usual). Get a lock for the gym locker. Weigh myself (for better or worse, it hasn't been done in over a month and it needs doing). Work late to have Friday off to see my stepmother & sister. Speak with someone who can verify my hours for my next professional license paperwork & test. Think even more about my tarot reading – so much food for thought.
My quote/verse for the upcoming week is: Growing Pains
Weekly update 06.29.2014.
I'm feeling: neither here nor there.
I'm listening to: blowing fans keeping us cool. The TV – FIFA World Cup Costa Rica vs. Greece with my uncle. (Haven't followed the World Cup aside from this, to be honest. Basketball is more my game.)
I'm thinking: I'm so glad that this is a short work week. I want to re-start studying Portuguese again. I need to brush up on my Spanish; I took it for too many years (even minored in it in college) to just let it die. I need to update my résumé, fill out some paperwork for the next highest professional license, and apply for another credential. I wonder if I should take up my friend's offer of getting a psychic reading? Never did one before…
I'm reading: nothing now, but that should change this coming week, as my now-former supervisor gave me 2 more reading books for my profession. I should be able to get myself a Kindle in July.
I'm looking forward to: having a short work week. Going to the gym; it really impressed me and I look forward to going regularly. Paying off 1 debt. Having something to do for the weekend (hopefully).
I'm learning that: I must stop always feeling the need to explain myself. Losing weight won't mean much if my self-confidence is negative. Nothing will get done unless I do it – someone on my social media news feed said "Never ask for help. The ones who tell you don't be afraid to ask are the same ones who claim they can't help." and sadly, I must agree. It isn't even from a place of frustration anymore; it's just a resigned acceptance and the story of most of my life.
I'm enjoying: these pita chips, which are healthier than buying & eating a bunch of cookies.
I'm grateful for: taking a free Krav Maga class last week, although it made me quite nostalgic about taking it while overseas. (I can admit that sometimes, I miss that place in spite of what they did to me. Blog post about that coming soon.) Joining the gym. My stepfather. My aunt & uncle. The ability to choose to stay away from (potential & definite) toxic situations with toxic people. My work team (minus upper management). Speaking to my friend's daughter in England earlier today – I miss their family so much.
Around the house are: lazy folks enjoying a lazy weekend.
In the kitchen: new groceries.
I'm planning this week to: follow-up with the doctor's office – doing the job of 3 people at work makes me quite forgetful, and it is time for me to just write a note so that I don't keep forgetting because my health is more important that any job. Cook once or twice. Go to the gym. Get extra workout clothing and a lock for the gym locker. Do something for the long weekend. Look for a ticket to see my stepmother & sister since I couldn't see them this weekend after all (long story).
My quote/verse for the upcoming week is: none that I can think of for this week. However, I suggest DailyOM for wise words when you want.

Coconut Badger Sniffing Out Success
Mark MacNicol, the premier playwright, producer and director of the play The Coconut Badger shows that if you want to make something happen, be honest, be gutsy and be proactive
After great interest from The Scottish Playwright Studio's FUSE service, The Citizens and Ramshorn Theatre but no commissions made, plucky playwright Mark MacNicol refused to give up on his dream.
His first act was to raise his profile and find a cast by sticking posts on Facebook, Glasgow Theatre Underground website and the notice boards of University drama departments. Describing casting as "the least difficult part of the process" he added:
"The cast are amazing, talented, hungry and have buckets of enthusiasm. They have been a big factor in my own determination, they are putting so much into something they accept is a risk and that they may get little/nothing out of it."
His second task was directing and producing the play. He remarks: "I was totally up front with the actors from the start and told them I had never done anything like this before. They have been a big help on the direction side. In effect they have helped me to direct them."
He adds:
"The production side is hard work when you have no money. But I have been amazed by how accommodating people have been when I explain the project to them. Again it's just about being honest and up front with people. Also helps if you have a brass neck and don't mind when people say no."
For those wishing to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps he says:
"If you truly believe in the project, then don't leave it to others to decide whether it lives or dies. Put your balls on the table. The small number of theatres in Glasgow can't sustain the number of writers. There are thousands of fantastic plays currently suffocating on hard drives because they have been rejected by the theatre establishment. There are loads of bars with function rooms and basement spaces who will listen to your proposals. These venues want to use these spaces."
And what of the play itself? Set on a Glasgow housing scheme, Mark drew heavily from experience growing up in Pollok and though the story itself is fiction, its themes are very personal. Commenting on the title he says:
"The origin of the name gives away its meaning so I can't say too much. In summary Pat the ageing scheme psychopath introduces Tam the young coward to a strategy he can use to overcome his fear of confrontation. That's where Coconut Badger comes in, any more on that would be a spoiler."
As for the future, his novel of the same name is his next challenge. He says:
"The novel manuscript is currently being proof read. I have also been working with a literary consultant. I started it two years ago and although I am keen to see it in print, I want to get it just right. I've already spoken to a couple of publishers and plan to make a decision on what happens next after Coconut Badger the play has been performed."
The Coconut Badger is showing at Admiral Bar, 72a Waterloo Street Glasgow at 7.30pm on Thu 3 Jun and Fri 04 Jun. For more information about the play and where to buy tickets visit www.coconutbadger.comhttp://www.coconutbadger.com

Head Coach Rebecca Upton
Office Phone: 304-829-7267
E-Mail: email@example.com
Rebecca Upton is entering her eleventh season at the helm of the Bethany women's basketball program.
This past season the Bethany College women's basketball team greatly improved from the 2013-14 season, capturing 12 total and 8 conference wins, the most in conference play since the 2011-12 season. This allowed the team to secure hosting rights for the first round of the Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship Tournament.
The previous season also witnessed Upton help freshman Kelsea Daugherty earn PAC Freshman Rookie of the Year honors. Daugherty also stepped into the National spotlight when she earned D3hoops.com Team of the Week honors after averaging 27 points and 14 rebounds during the week of February 3.
Daugherty finished the year ranked fifth in the PAC in scoring with 16.0 points per game, third in rebounding with 8.6 rebounds per game, and first in offensive rebounding with 3.7 offensive rebounds per game. She also led the conference in double-doubles with 11.
As a team, the Bison saw significant growth under Upton from the previous season, scoring 68.3 points per game while holding opponents to 71.3, 6.2 points less than what was allowed during the 2013-14 season. Perhaps more impressive, the Bison increased their rebounding average by six rebounds per game, averaging 44 rebounds per night.
The Bison enjoyed their best season under Upton in 2011-12. In addition to winning 17 games and reaching the PAC Tournament semifinals, Bethany earned a bid to the ECAC Tournament, the program's first postseason appearance since 2004. The Bison made it a memorable trip, as they won a last-second thriller in the quarterfinals at #4 Marywood to advance to the semifinals, where they lost to eventual champion Medaille.
Under Upton's guidance, the Bison have now posted a .500 record or better in four of the last seven seasons. Before the 2011-12 season, the Bison's previous top two years under Upton came in 2007-08 and 2008-09, when they won 15 games both seasons. In '07-'08, she guided Bethany to a 15-11 overall record, including a 10-4 mark and third place finish in the PAC regular season standings.
After starting out 4-9 the following winter, Bethany bounced back by taking 10 of their next 11 games, including a seven-game winning streak. Included in that was a 66-61 upset of 21st-ranked Washington & Jefferson. The Bison finished the year with a 15-12 overall record and 8-6 mark in the PAC, as well as a trip to the PAC Tournament semifinals.
Through Upton's first ten seasons, the Bison have collected 120 victories, making her the third-winningest coach in program history. Over her tenure, she has guided 24 players to All-PAC teams, including 2006 First-Team honoree Jenny Place. She also coached a PAC Rookie of the Year in 2015 (Daugherty).
Off the floor, BC players have been voted to ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II teams three times (Jenny Place-2006, Lisa Mitchell-2008, Kaitlyn McCormick-2009) and two of them have been finalists for the V Foundation Comeback Award (Nicole Vlajkovich-2005, Kaitlyn McCormick-2007).
Upton came to Bethany from Shippensburg (Pa.) University, where she was an assistant for one season and helped lead the Lady Raiders to a 19-11 record during the 2003-04 season.
Prior to her time at Shippensburg, Upton coached at West Virginia Wesleyan, where she spent three years as an assistant coach. She helped guide the Lady Bobcats to a 46-38 overall record during her stint with the team, including a 36-18 mark in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). The squad went 19-10 during her final season with the team in 2002-03 and reached the semifinals of the WVIAC tournament. While at West Virginia Wesleyan, Upton earned a master's degree in business administration.
Upton played four years of basketball at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa., a current member of the PAC. She graduated with a degree in English and a minor in Public Relations in 2000. She was the team's Most Valuable Player her senior year and was named to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Academic team in 1999 and 2000.
A native of Elkland, Pa., Upton helped Elkland High School win the PIAA Class A State Championship in 1996. The team also won four Northern Tier League titles and three District Four championships.
Upton and her husband, Andy, who is the head track and an assistant football coach for the Bison, reside in Wellsburg with their son Christopher (6) as well as newborn son Matthew.
Assistant Coach Alicia Kimmel
Office Phone: 304-829-7088
E-Mail: email@example.com
Assistant coach Alicia Kimmel begins her first season with the Bethany College women's basketball team during the 2015-16 campaign. Kimmel will serve as the head assistant coach under Rebecca Upton.
Kimmel comes to Bethany after an illustrious playing career at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford where she was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starter. A three-time All-AMCC honoree, Kimmel played in 103 career games (77 starts) and averaged 13.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per contest.
Kimmel helped lead the Panthers to a 17-8 record, including a 14-4 mark in conference play in 2014-15 as she was named the conference's Player of the Year, becoming just the third player in school history to do so. Kimmel posted 15.8 points per game during her senior season while also averaging 6.9 rebounds per contest. Along with the Player of the Year award, Kimmel was also honored with a D3hoops.com Great Lakes Region Second-Team selection, as well as an All-American honorable mention selection by Women's DIII News.
Prior to her senior campaign, the four-year player also earned AMCC All-Conference honors during her sophomore and junior seasons, becoming just the second player in school history to earn all-conference honors three times. Her top scoring season came in 2012-13, when she averaged 16.5 points per game, and set the school record for free-throw percentage in a season (86.5).
Kimmel completed her four-year career ranked fourth on the all-time career points list (1,385) and second in career field goals made (545). She graduated from Bradford in the spring of 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Medicine.
A native of Pine Grove, Pa., Kimmel will be enrolled in the Bethany Master of Art in Teaching program while serving as assistant coach.

Skateboarder Tony Hawk
As a child, Tony Hawk was a self-described
nightmare. He was nine years old when his brother changed his life by giving him
his first skateboard.
At age 14 he turned pro, and by age 16 Tony Hawk was
the best skateboarder in the world. In the ensuing 17 years, Hawk has entered an
estimated 103 pro contests. He won 73 of them, and placed second in 19 - the best
record in skateboarding history. He retired from competition at age 31, but still
skates almost every day.

If there is one thing about my own spiritual calling that is the most inspiring to me, it's that moment when someone goes deep and awakens. When we are singing together in a ritual and I see them crack open, I see them connect to that something larger, touch their fingertips to that mystery they are seeking.Read More
I think conditions are favorable not only to maintain the well, but also to deepen it, by beginning to do ritual together. Our community meets primarily online, and geography separates us, so in-person, face-to-face meetings pose a challenge, but applications such as Skype and Google Hangouts make group calls relatively easy. What about regular group meditations, perhaps on each of the solar festivals of the Wheel of the Year?Read More
As I pour out the water or wine or honey on the earth, I create, in the form of the stream of liquid, a living connection between myself and the earth. It is a visual and visceral representation of my connection to the earth. And in so doing, I experience both an "emptying" and also simultaneously a "filling", as if I am both emptying the vessel of myself and filling myself at the same time, as if I am both the cup that pours and the earth which receives. In this act, I restore in a small measure that sense of sensual connection I have to the world. This for me is the true meaning of divine reciprocity.Read More
This article was first published at The Spinning of the Wheel. One question that is often raised by those who are coming to Paganism for the first time – whether naturalistic or not – is that of ritual content and…Read More

Great job. That reminds me a bit of BLINK game concepts style. Nicely done. Congratz.
this is sick AWESOME !!!!MAN
You can tell his more armored than the Crimson Monkey but still seems like a very light weight soldier this is to be expected seeing as his a Corporate troop more than military soldier. It would be nice to see the Female and maybe a heavy armor suit.
The female was halfway done, but then I didn't like her anymore. I've redesinged her already, but she's a sketch still.
The heavier version may be coming.

Two late wickets gave Essex reason for cheer in their first LV= County Championship Division Two match since being bowled out for 20 by Lancashire a week ago.
Leicestershire's Shiv Thakor was run out for 54 and Jigar Naik caught and bowled by Graham Napier for a duck, leaving the hosts on 268 for seven at the end of day one.
Napier was the pick of Essex's bowling attack and finished with 4-78 from 25 hostile overs as bottom-of-the-table Leicestershire once again failed to produce the goods in their first innings despite half-centuries from Thakor and Niall O'Brien.
They had managed only 10 batting bonus points in their previous eight games - the lowest total by any side in the division but, at 253 for five, appeared set to at least reach the 300-mark and pick up three points.
However, Thakor and Michael Thornely decided to go for a quick single four overs before the close and the former was run out by Jaik Mickleburgh's throw from cover to end a stand of 64. In the next over, Naik - trying to pull a short ball from Napier - top-edged a simple return catch to the bowler.
After their all-time low score in the previous game, Essex must have been relieved not to have been put into bat when Leicestershire won the toss.
There was plenty of cloud cover to encourage bowlers and all the Essex seamers troubled batsmen, even though O'Brien and Greg Smith shared an opening partnership of 58; they both rode their luck at times but also produced some excellent attacking shots when given the opportunity.
O'Brien hit Napier for three successive fours but Smith was trapped lbw by Ryan ten Doeschate for 27.
Ned Eckersley looked in good touch until edging behind off David Masters to depart for 21 before O'Brien, having reached 50 off 143 balls with 10 fours, became Napier's first victim, given lbw playing across the line for 67 - his championship best for Leicestershire.
Joe Burns was next to go for 26, caught at slip off Napier, and Matthew Boyce was out lbw to the same bowler.
Thakor, who reached his half-century off 108 balls with nine fours, and Thornely steadied things until the late collapse - although the latter remained on 37.

Robinson, Bulls rise to the occasion once again
The only shots Nate Robinson fears are those at the doctor's office.
More often than not this season, the veteran guard has risen to the occasion, giving the Bulls much-needed offense and shifting the momentum of the game in their favor.
[WATCH: Short-handed Bulls rise to the occasion again in win over Magic]
A night after scoring the go-ahead basket in Thursday night's victory in Brooklyn and on the tail end of a five-games-in-seven-nights stand, there was Robinson keying a fourth quarter run after the Bulls entered the period down 70-66.
It's hard to single him out as the reason the Bulls were able to overcome tired legs for a 87-86 win over the Orlando Magic -- Nazr Mohammed and Vladimir Radmanovic also made key contributions in the fourth quarter –- but without 12 of his team-high 19 points coming in the final period (including scoring 10 of the team's first 13), it's easy to believe that the final score would be in the opposition's favor.
[RELATED: Bulls beating the odds becoming par for the course]
"Exciting," responded Jimmy Butler when asked to describe Robinson's game. "When you need a basket, he can go and get you one. If you need a stop, he can get you one. If you need a yelling, over-emotional short guy, he can do that, too. Nate is key to this team. The offense that he brings and the way he can easily shift the momentum of the game. I think that's a big part on any team and Nate's that for us.
"As many guys as we're down, you need all the energy that you can get to pick you up whenever you're tired."
When he gets rolling, it's a sight to see for fans as well as teammates.
[More: Submit a question to Aggrey Sam's mailbag]
"It's basically get back on defense because he's shooting this ball, no matter what," Butler said. "Don't let him make two in a row because he comes across halfcourt and he's shooting that. We know that. That's Nate. When he's hot, he's hot. I think everybody in the league knows that."
Coach Tom Thibodeau has often referred to Robinson as a catalyst and for the second night in a row, the ball found its way in his hands with the game on the line. While he did miss a jumper with 24 seconds remaining that would have made it a three-point ballgame, it speaks volumes about the trust Thibodeau and his teammates have in him in that the ball has been in his hands during so many crucial moments this season.
[WATCH: Thibodeau praises his team's effort]
Whether miss or make, there's not another situation Robinson lives for more.
"I'm not afraid to fail," Robinson said. "You're going to have to fail a lot to succeed in this game. You just can't be afraid to take that shot and you can't be afraid to make or miss it.
"That's something that my father installed in me when I was young – just never be afraid to fail or succeed.
"I just bring energy however it comes," he continued. "I just play the game the best way I know how. Some nights, I do pretty well and some nights I don't. But you have to take the good with the bad. I'm going to play through it, play as hard as I can for as long as I can."

Fans Divided About Whether "Spamming" Is Okay in Mortal Kombat
One of Mortal Kombat's newest characters is gaining a reputation, at least among casual fans. According to the Internet, Jacqui Briggs is a problem.
One of Mortal Kombat's newest characters is gaining a reputation, at least among casual fans. According to the Internet, Jacqui Briggs is a problem.
My least favorite kombatant since the original game, Kano returns next year in Mortal Kombat X with some killer new moves and looks that will both stop and start traffic.
Following today's Injustice: Gods Among Us finals at EVO, Netherrealm Studios' Ed Boon took the stage to reveal the return of Raiden in next year's Mortal Kombat X. As if they'd do anything without him.
After weeks of teasing from series co-creator Ed Boon, today the name of the next game in the legendary fighting game series has been revealed: Mortal Kombat X. Update 11:20 — added platforms and gameplay details from the official press release.
You wouldn't know it from reading many popular DC Comics, but there are limits to how violent the adventures of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman can be. At least in video games, and probably movies too.
Ed Boon, the father of Mortal Kombat has a priority for the DC Comics super-hero fighting game his MK studio is making. He wants to make the backgrounds, the levels, play "as pivotal a role as the characters you chose."
The nine episode web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy will come to a Blu-ray near you this November, courtesy of Warner Bros. and director Kevin Tancharoen, delivering live action Jax, Sonya, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and more onto one high-def disc.
The first batch of downloadable... kontent for NetherRealm Studios' new Mortal Kombat keeps it "klassic" with fancy, old-school ninja duds, fondly remembered fatalities and (at least) one new character, red ninja girl Skarlet.
"Unfortunately, the circumstances didn't allow us to make a 360 exclusive," Mortal Kombat boss Ed Boon told website Eurogamer. "I'm not allowed to talk too much about it, but I can tell you we certainly wanted to do an exclusive for 360, but that's all I can say. It was not a decision we made where we said, oh, let's…
Before the dog days of summer set in, a clip leaked online for a take on the Mortal Kombat movie nobody had ever seen. Gritty, violent and brutal, it was a far cry from the 1990s Hollywood flick.
The latest addition to the Mortal Kombat line-up of "kombatants" is an old favorite. Jax, the cybernetically armed special forces operative who always has brain matter under his fingernails, will return.
Get over here, I want to give you a quick primer on Mortal Kombat's spear-tossing Scorpion.
At Gamescom, we sat down with Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm Studios lead Ed Boon to talk about the newest game in the franchise, life after Midway and what could be next for the fighting game developer.
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon says that his studio's newest fighting game is being built with better online balancing in mind, letting the developer finesse aspects of the combat after it ship—without the need for software patches.
There are a lot of Mortal Kombat games that should never have been made. This one at least had the foresight to be cancelled before it saw the light of day.
Mortal Kombat is back, sans DC Universe heroes, loaded with much of the blood, gore and cruel violence the series is infamous for. But Mortal Kombat for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is also worth discussing for its deeper fighting engine.
The trailer for the new Mortal Kombat game shows a true return to form, with 2D battles, tag-team fighting, gory inside-look combos, and fatalities so cruel you'll be crossing your legs with sympathy pains.
Actress Jeri Ryan of Star Trek: Voyage fame appears as Sonya Blade in a Mortal Kombat trailer dubbed "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" that popped up online. Is it a game trailer? A movie trailer? Tell us, Jeri, tell us!
Ex-Midway artist Vincent Proce went back to the drawing board for a pitched, but ultimately rejected visual reboot of the developer's venerable Mortal Kombat franchise, posting the results of that back-to-basics design plan on his personal blog.
While Midway have been consigned to the dustbin of history, in the early 1990's, they were gods. Largely because of two games: NBA Jam & Mortal Kombat. Two games that, for all their success, never came together.

Best Sports Bar for Watching Games (2014)
Tilted Kilt
Keep your eyes on the TV, no matter how fetching those lasses look in their short kilts and tight shirts. The Tilted Kilt on the 16th Street Mall took over where the ESPN Zone left off. This link in the national chain is a fine place to dig into a plate of Irish nachos, swill a cold beer (or three) and watch the game. Whatever sporting event you're interested in is bound to be on one of the big screens — and on balmy days, you can watch your game while sitting on the patio, which also lets you partake in the great sport of people-watching when there's a break in the on-screen action. Although there are other Kilts in the metro area, the mall-side location tilts this one over the top.

Temporary Weight Loss Helps Type 2 Patients
Evans, Jeff, Clinical Psychiatry News
Weight loss in the years immediately following a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is associated with significant, long-term improvement in glycemic and blood pressure control even if the weight is later regained back to baseline levels, according to a retrospective cohort study of 3-year weight trajectory patterns.
These improvements occurred in a set of patients who lost an average of 10% of their weight during the first 1.5 years of the study but then subsequently regained it by the end of the next 1.5 years. Those patients accounted for 12% of the entire cohort of 2,574 patients, whereas the rest of the cohort included patients who gained weight (300 patients, 12%) or maintained a stable weight that was relatively high (418 patients, 16%) or low (1,542 patients, 60%) during the course of the study period.
"Practitioners frustrated by the frequency of weight regain may be reinvigorated by our finding that weight regain in diabetes may not imply lack of therapeutic benefits of weight loss," Dr. Adrianne C. Feldstein and her colleagues at Kaiser Permanente Northwest Region, Portland, Ore., wrote in their report (Diabetes Care 2008 Aug. 12 [doi: 10.2337/dc08-0426]).
The study involved patients in a not-for-profit HMO that covered two states in the Pacific Northwest. They had to be aged 21-75 years, newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes during 1997-2002, and members of the HMO for at least 1 year before diagnosis and at least 3 years after diagnosis.
Compared with the group of patients who initially lost weight, patients who followed other weight trajectories were 1.5-1.8 times more likely to have hemoglobin [A.sub.1c] values greater than 7% at year 4. This association became even stronger when the investigators restricted their analysis to patients who had a true baseline Hb[A.sub.1c] measurement (rather than just their first measurement during year 1).
Patients with higher stable weight or weight-gain trajectories were 1.8 and 1.5 times more likely, respectively, to have a blood pressure of 130/80 mm Hg or greater at year 4 than were those who followed a weight-loss trajectory. …
