Miami Car Chase (1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Painting) by FastLaneIllustrationWatch
©2012-2016 FastLaneIllustration
Here's My latest painting. It's a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass bobbing and weaving through traffic down Ocean Drive in Miami Beach circa 1976. I based this off of no movie in particular, but the piece itself was supposed to represent late 70s and early 80s car chase scenes in old actions films. This one is set in Miami, because this time period was a distinct era in Miami's history when it was teetering on its reputation as being a resort town, but also gaining a new reputation as the city with one of the largest crime rates in north america, which is why I felt this city that had a unique contrast would be ideal for this painting. The getaway is having a hard time shaking the cops, until one of the diligent pursuers collides with an oncoming vehicle. This is the diversion that the wheelman has been looking for. As the other cop is somewhat distracted by the mayhem that has just ensued, the getaway veers into Lummus Park hitting a whole bunch of plastic lawn flamingos in the process, hoping to find a new escape strategy. Does he get away, or does he get caught? you decide. Anyway, All Fast Lane Design Artwork by Ryan Sardachuk. Click the link to become a fan on facebook: www.facebook.com/FastLaneDesign
Tommy Vercetti would definitely approve!
my dad had a cutlass just like that
That's so old school I love it! I'm a huge fan of malaise-era, Big barge-like cars and heavy consumption during that era... Perfect art! The pastel colors bring Miami Vice vibes in mind.
This reminds me of GTA Vice City, I actually thought that was what you were trying to portray.
Well. I know this is coming in late but I just thought the exact same thing when I saw this.
One good game that's for sure
Yes indeed. One thing that gave it that Vice City feel was the area. Another being the cop cars in the background. They look very much like the Vice City Police Cars. images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__c…
Reminds me of the game for playstation called "Driver".
This is great! Reminds me immediately of the "Driver" games!
Cool, reminds me of Grand Theft Auto Vice City! nice work!
Wicked cool. : )
Your car chase paintings are simply awesome!
Reminds me of Driver game, but also GTA: Vice City
Reminds me of Driver game, but also GTA: Vice City

Bad Guys Always Die Lyrics
Bad Guys Always Die Song Lyrics
The Wild Gotham
The Wild West
Ah ha, ride
All you see is the sun reflectin' off of the gun
Ready for the showdown to go down at 1
Sweat on my brow, let's settle it now
I'mma show you how real cowboys get down
I'm polishin' gold, waiting for this drama to unfold
I got a blunt rolled
Feelin' bold, gangsta's blood run cold
It's time to reload this old 45 Colt
And the wind gust, it's hot and muggy, dusty
Bust a couple shots, make sure I'm not rusty
It's passed noon, he should be here soon
I sip a little moonshine inside a saloon
All of a sudden I could hear the sound of hoofs
Sounds like a thousand wolves
I cock back, put the toast in the holster and frooze
I pose like a poster, he's closer than close
I hold the heat sturdy, I heard he fight's dirty
But I'mma put thirty inside him and leave early
And just when I went to fill him with hot lead
I put the gun to his head and this is what he said
You never met me and you'll probably never see me again
But I know you, the name's Slim
You want revenge? Then don't shoot, I'm in the same boots as you
I'm telling the truth, I got a price on my head, too
Cuz when you
[1] - Ride like a cowboy toward the sun
When life ain't fun, when you're on the run
Got your gold and you got your gun
But life as an outlaw just begun
Got your shotgun by your side
Got your horse and you got your pride
You ride 'till there ain't no place to hide
It's sad cuz the bad guys always die
He was shady, could see it by the look on his face
He said take ten paces, sh*t, I took eight
Spun around and I aimed straight for the brain
My sh*t went bang but it only fired a blank, he said
You need bullets, hurry up run
I put a clip in the gun, and pointed at his lungs
He pulled two at the same time and stood stunned
Go ahead, shoot me, but I'm not the one you want
I figured he was telling the truth
That's why I didn't shoot
So what we gonna do? It's on you
Do you recall when you and Snoop was a group?
The Chronic
Well, all we gotta do is find a map to part two
And plus I know who's got it (Who?)
Some old dude, he's got 26 plagues and he already sold two
Loaded up my saddle, got ready for battle
Hid two pieces of gold inside of my saddle
We rolled two miles until we hit the spot
An old ghost town that everybody forgot
A place where they used to smoke chronic a lot
Slim grabbed the shotgun
Dre, here's the plot
This is the spot, they call him Doc Loveless
He's going around saying he took the game from us
Let's shoot him in his kneecaps, he'll never see it coming
He ain't got no legs, they cut 'em off at the stomach
He's got mechanical legs and spins webs
Plus he's well respected by the hip-hop heads
Our mission is to get him to stop laying eggs
And we can put him on his back down a flight of steps
I drew two guns, spun them on my fingers
Kicked the swinging doors in and started gun slinging
I could hear somebody singing
It sounded like a G Thang in a verse from Keep Their Heads Ringing
I said it's Dre's Day and started to spray
It's eighteen hundred, he proves a AK
Hollow tips started flying every which way
That's when I seen Dre in trouble, then came the brigades
I fired the first shot, spun his body around
He hit the ground and landed upside down
Dre grabbed the map, the plagues and the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a blunt that's rolled
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

» EnerSys Q1 2009 Earnings Call Transcript
John Craig
Thank you, Michelle. Good morning and thank you for joining us for our conference call. During this call, we will be discussing our results of our third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 as well as commenting on the general state of our business. But before we start, I will ask Mike Philion, our Chief Financial Officer, to cover information regarding forward-looking statements. Mike?
Michael Philion
Thank you, John, and good morning to everyone. As a reminder, we will be presenting forward-looking statements on this call that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions which are subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances. EnerSys actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons. Our forward-looking statements are based on management's current views regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. For a list of the factors which could affect our future results, including our earnings estimates, see forward-looking statements included in item 2 of management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations set forth in our quarterly report on form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 28, 2008, which was filed last evening with the United States SEC.
In addition, we will also be presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures. For an explanation of the differences between the comparable GAAP financial information and the non-GAAP information, please see our company's form 8-K, which includes our press release dated February 4, 2009, which is located on our website at www.enersys.com. Now, let me turn the call back to you, John.
John Craig
Thanks Mike. Last evening, we reported our third quarter results with adjusted diluted earnings per share of 80% to a record $0.63 compared to $0.35 in the prior year quarter. With global economic activity declining, our third quarter revenue declined 17% with organic volume down 10% versus the prior year third quarter. In spite of this, we achieved another sequential increase in our gross profit percentage from 20.7% in the second quarter to 22% in the third quarter. We continue to benefit from lower material cost in our ongoing cost reduction programs.
As I stated in previous calls, our goal is to achieve 25% gross profit, and I'm pleased with the improvement we made this quarter given the current economic environment. To help reach our 25% goal, we have further actions planned. Last night, we announced the closing of our manufacturing facility in Italy and then move this production to lower-cost locations. We're in the process of implementing additional significant cost reduction actions around the world. We anticipate that the plant closing and the other recent actions, when fully implemented, will result in an annualized savings of approximately $13 million or $0.19 per share.
During this period of economic decline, we are in a very good position in several respects. First, we are enhancing our leadership position in the global industrial battery markets and we believe we will continue to increase our market share by staying focused on our customers. In this regard, we recently learned that several Chinese telecom companies plan to invest $41 billion in the next two years to operate their infrastructure. We estimate that this will result in at least $500 million in new battery purchases, and we are confident that we will receive a reasonable share of this business.
Second, as previously reported, we completed our refinancing last spring with favorable terms in pricing. Our all-in interest rate is approximately 5%. We do not have any significant term debt due in the next four years and we continue to have positive cash flow. We have $91 million in short-term investments at the end of our third quarter, a substantial increase from 55 million at the end of September. The $36-million increase was achieved even after the payment of approximately $20 million in October for the repurchase of EnerSys stock. We also have approximately $200 million in available credit lines. Our strong financial conditions allow us to pursue acquisitions and we anticipate that good opportunities will become available as a result of the difficult economic climate. We are continuing our major expansion project to increase capacity for thin plate pure lead products. This premium technology is used in a wide variety of applications. It remains the top performing technology in lead-acid batteries.
In addition, we are fortunate to have the financial strength to continue the necessary spending to restructure our operations and substantially reduce our future cost. Last night, we reported that we expect adjusted diluted earnings per share between $0.30 and $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2009. This is a sequential decline in earnings but we believe still a very solid performance in the face of the current economic environment. We remain confident about our prospects for profitable operations even at the bottom of this economic cycle.
In summary, as stated in our conference call last August, we saw the beginning of market decline so we took immediate actions to enhance earnings. These actions helped us achieve our record $0.63 cents of earnings in the third quarter. As I mentioned earlier, we are closing our Italian plant; along with other actions, will result in an annualized savings of approximately $13 million or $0.19 a share when fully implemented. All the actions we are taking now will clearly put us in a very strong position when the global economy turns. Stated in other words, EnerSys's plans to act (ph) at this global recession a stronger company than when we entered this recession.

Pinkamena Diane... SPARKLE?!! by MrCbleckWatch

Random shait jeje hope you people like it ^^
Feel free to use it just credit ^^
svg: sta.sh/0k7ss86ofxj
Wow. With Twilight's seemingly infinite power along with Pinkamena's dark 'mad at the world' demeanor which would probably get exacerbated by Twilight Psycho's psychopathic paranoia. I think that's a sign that Ponykind has outlived it's usefulness. If ponies don't believe in a god, they should probably start.
You know what! I actually love this new look! LOL
Wow! This is awesome!! XD
twilimena diane sparkle
But I thought they liked my books...
"...Doing magic is what I do you see; because that what my cutie mark is telling me"
Purplemena Diane Sparkle XD
Lol :3
Girl you rock that mane!
That looks Egg Zactly like her im not jking seriously just the mane
Her expression add so much more than just the new mane style would alone 8/10 would draw XD
I hope it's not lost on anyone how dangerous she could be!
the look suits her
do the rest too please
well thats different! i like it!
You know, if you fused Twilight with Pinkie, you'd probably get a pony with massive lateral thinking power (from Pinkie) and supreme logic (from Twilight), making for a top-notch detective.
Then add a dash of rainbow dash for speed and extra bravery...
I wonder what THAT would look like...
Probably a mess with too many colours in the same area.
Depends how well you combine.
Maybe. It is hard to use a lot of colours in one area, though.
her hairs already kinda like that, all she needs is the pouting face XD
This's awesome! Mind if I featured it on my page?
don't worry guys, shes just testing her magic.
This manecut gives a certain "Emo-ish Twilight" feeling.
can you do apple jack like this
Imagine when her friendship is broken from somepony she knows.
Nice xd
Cool. It's original ^^

Since Olympus' tough and rugged digital cameras have picked up their fair share of accolades in the past, it would make plenty of sense to focus on the next generation of shooters that have hopefully been built like a tank, capable of handling far more abuse than your average consumer class digital camera.

It is me, or have all the digital camera manufacturers banded together to make an announcement of their new shooters on the same day? I guess this would certainly be a gentleman's agreement, as "may the best digital camera win" idea would work only when everyone rolls out their devices on the same day itself. Show More Summary

News & Interviews for The Future
Critic Reviews for The Future
All Critics (105) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (72) | Rotten (29)
Not a crowd-pleaser by any measure, but a mature, bold and recklessly inquisitive film, however unpleasant it is to consume in the moment.
Miranda July may be a bit too weird for her own good. On the other hand, it is a glorious weird.
Provides plenty of material for July junkies as well as July detractors.
Parece apenas interessado em lan�ar o meme dos "Lolcatz" como g�nero cinematogr�fico.
This strange film reminds me of some stories by Franz Kafka, such as 'The Trial.' It is a story which makes no sense when viewed objectively, but hangs together well enough as a subjective experience.
Audience Reviews for The Future
Didn't hold my attention but I felt like it should have. I want to give it another chance simply because it has a guy stuck in time trying to move the moon and a cat that talks before getting put down with an extremely sad monologue.
Super Reviewer
Another eccentric film from director, performer, and actress Miranda July. That's the nicest thing I can say about this film without getting clouded in debate, because for all the impressive and interesting aspects of this film, it is painfully uneven. As a test of cinema, of the ideals behind getting to the middle road of one's life and not liking where you are it was great conceptually. You have a couple in their thirties, both happy to be together, but disinterested with their outcomes in life. They have one month before they adopt a damaged cat from a shelter (a decision that is never explained or warranted) to do whatever they want. For some reason they both quit their jobs and try falling into habits and causes. It doesn't come easy, and they both drift apart, which is something I generally like about the film. I love that they try to explore the world around them and actually make an effort in changing themselves and find that only trying without passion, or experiencing the world isn't the thrill ride they expected. What I ended up having problems with were the choices made to wrap up the existential conflicts that both characters evidently come to. Instead of really speaking about what happens after the bubble bursts, July goes very formulaic by breaking them apart and developing a side relationship, which was intentionally uncomfortable but also clich�d. The flighty, dispassionate artistry to some of the dialogue is distracting, as is a puppet cat. The cat tells the story of how they adopted it and would be coming back, which happens intermittently in most annoying way possible. I did like the very end of the cat and how it told of how it was unloved but always waiting. Still, this film left me exhausted and annoyed without any explanation for why it did what it did. July needs to not make commercial films and make films that speak to human nature preferably.
Super Reviewer
In one way we should envy the caveman. When he looked at all the possibilities of his life, there couldn't be many, and he may have been content with he and his family just surviving, day by day. Today, in deciding life's journey, that nearly identical caveman has to wrestle all the possibilities and abstractions of developed language, ideologies, and technology. Reason has defeated religious portrayals of a purpose beyond this life - we can easily panic over our limited time here. How do we spend this time? How do we know when we have seen the answer? When we stop asking the question.
Every scene in this film is making an observation - not a statement, just observations of feelings born from self awareness in the modern age. I've responded to only one here, kick-starting the open discussion this movie is begging to have with me. It will continue, and I suggest any philosopher to initiate their own with this wonderful movie.

A Contrarian Call on Tapering - Real Time Insight
There has been much debate over the last 8 months over when the Fed will taper its $85 billion per month quantitative easing (QE) program.
After being prepped for a taper by Ben Bernanke and the rest of the Federal Reserve all summer, Wall Street was nearly 100% sure it was going to happen in September.
But then it didn't.
So the guessing game has commenced again.
In 2013, there is just one meeting left, in December, and most Fed watchers give low odds of a taper at that meeting.
Consensus says that the Fed will taper sometime in 2014.
But what if the consensus is wrong? What if the Fed doesn't taper at all in 2014?
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, a member of the Federal Open Market Committee, recently said in a Nov 1, 2013 presentation , mirroring what Ben Bernanke and other Fed officials have also said, that the Fed's decision to taper depends on the data.
On employment levels he said:
"To the extent that key labor market indicators continue to show cumulative improvement, the likelihood of tapering asset purchases will continue to rise," Bullard said.
"This is because the Committee's 2012 criterion of substantial improvement in labor markets gets easier and easier to satisfy on a cumulative basis as labor markets continue to heal."
However, he cautioned that "the Committee also wants reassurance that any progress made in labor markets will stick."
On inflation he said today on CNBC :
There's been "substantial progress" in job creation, Bullard said, but also noted that inflation remains low. "[So] what's the hurry" to taper the asset purchase program, known as quantitative easing. He would like inflation to head back toward 2 percent.
He also didn't seem too concerned about the Fed's balance sheet rising above $4 trillion.
He also said he sees "room on the balance sheet," which is
approaching $4 trillion. "If you look at the size of the balance
sheet relative to GDP, who's got the biggest one, Japan, Europe,
U.K., U.S.? We're fourth out of those guys," he continued.
"If something bad is going to happen ... with the balance sheet, these other central banks should have passed that and already had that experience and they haven't."
What are the odds the Fed doesn't taper AT ALL in 2014?
A. 0%- because it WILL taper.
B. 50%- depends on if employment improves further and inflation picks up.
C. 100%- once it starts a QE program, it can't end it. Inflation is still too low. The Fed is worried about deflation if it ends QE. Therefore, there will be $85 billion a month in QE until 2015.

New flu strain acquired through contact with pigs
Here in Minnesota, a new strain of the flu seems to be acquired by visiting fairs that feature pigs.
There's a new flu strain in Minnesota that people acquire through contact with pigs. But you don't necessarily have to cancel your trip to the upcoming State Fair, because this flu is apparently mild.
According to a statement by the Minnesota Department of Health, two cases of the influenza were reported in a preschool-age child and an older sibling from a family here in the Twin Cities. Both children came down with symptoms two days after the family visited a live-animal market in Dakota County about a week and a half ago.
Fortunately, neither of the kids needed hospitalization, and both are recovering. Both were tested for the virus that causes the new flu, but only the younger child tested positive.
In addition to this Minnesota case, more than 200 cases of this flu -- known as variant H3N2 -- have been reported in eight states since the beginning of the year. Most have been found in children who were exhibiting pigs at state or county fairs, or people who visited pig exhibits at fairs.
Still, there's no reason for most people to avoid visiting fairs where pigs are present, health officials say.
The illness tends to be mild -- similar to recent strains of the regular, seasonal flu. Also, hospitalization rates for this flu have been relatively low.
People at high risk for flu complications include: children under five and people age 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with health conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease or neurological problems.

The government approved a medium-term fiscal reform plan Thursday, pledging to narrow Japan's budget deficit by 17 trillion yen over the next two years, but offered no specifics on how to improve public finances with a decision yet to be made on a sales tax hike.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration also promised to avoid increasing its new debt issuance during the same period, reduce wasteful spending and allocate financial resources to prior policy measures, with an eye on beating nearly two decades of deflation.
"The medium-term fiscal plan shows how we will achieve a fiscal consolidation target, while aiming for a virtuous cycle of economic revitalization and fiscal soundness," Abe said during a meeting of the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy.
The plan, however, provided no details of how to cut expenditure and boost revenues, analysts say, though Japan has been urged by the Group of 20 economies to map out a "credible" medium-term fiscal reform plan before their summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Sept. 5 and 6.
Fears are growing that the country's newly crafted plan, which is not premised on the tax hike, may not be seen as "credible" at the G-20 summit and that Japan's intention to restore its fiscal health could be called into question in the international arena.
"I believe we can prove our eagerness to balance our budget" at the G-20 summit by explaining the medium-term plan, Finance Minister Taro Aso told a press conference.
Abe's Cabinet plans to revisit the fiscal plan and formally endorse it in the autumn, following a final judgment on the planned April tax hike.
The consumption tax hike is regarded by some international economic organizations as key to Japan's fiscal rehabilitation. The government said in the plan that it will decide whether to raise the tax rate to 8 percent from the current 5 percent next April as legislated, while "comprehensively taking economic conditions into consideration."
Abe instructed the government the same day to launch a panel of experts to assess the possible impact on the country's economy of the tax measure, the first round of a two-stage increase to 10 percent by October 2015 to cover swelling social security costs at a time when Japan's population is aging.
On the spending front, Japan will slash the combined total of budget deficit for both central and local governments -- which is likely to total around 34 trillion yen in fiscal 2013 -- to about 17 trillion yen in fiscal 2015.
The reduction of the budget shortfall is required for Abe's Cabinet to attain its goal of halving the ratio of the primary balance deficit to the nation's gross domestic product by fiscal 2015 from the fiscal 2010 level.
A deficit in the balance means the country cannot finance government spending other than debt-servicing costs without issuing new bonds. An improvement in the balance is viewed as the critical first step toward fiscal reconstruction.
Abe's administration has also pledged to turn the primary balance into a surplus by fiscal 2020, but the latest government estimate, also released Thursday, indicates Japan cannot accomplish it even if the planned consumption tax hikes are carried out and the economy is on a firm growth path.
Under an optimistic scenario in which the economy would expand by an average of 3.0 percent in nominal terms over the next decade from fiscal 2013, the primary revenue deficit would be 2.0 percent in fiscal 2020, the Cabinet Office said.
The projection suggests that Abe's government should make more of an effort to put Japan's fiscal house in order by taking measures such as drastic cuts in social security payments and further tax hikes.
Fiscal consolidation is one of the significant challenges Abe is facing, as the world's third-largest economy has been recovering on the back of his stimulus dubbed "Abenomics," entailing aggressive monetary easing, massive fiscal spending and a growth strategy aimed at bolstering private-sector investment.
Japan's fiscal health is the worst among major developed economies, with its public debt level at more than 200 percent of GDP.
If concern intensifies over the nation's fiscal discipline, it could prompt investors to let go of Japanese government bonds and trigger a surge in long-term interest rates that would drag down domestic demand with mortgage rates and corporate borrowing costs increasing, some analysts said.
The government also approved Thursday its guidelines for the compilation of budget for the next fiscal year, which will start April 2014.
Abe's administration asked all ministries and agencies to cut spending for public works projects by 10 percent from the previous fiscal year, while setting special reserves in the budget to promote its growth strategy.
To accelerate rebuilding of areas ravaged by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the government decided not to put a ceiling on fiscal 2014 budgetary requests for reconstruction work, according to the guidelines.

""When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, 'I will never use it' but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there's just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, 'Are you ready to go?' and you say, 'Don't you want to see my passport?' and he goes, 'Oh yeah, I suppose I'd better.'" "
Gulfstream G650
Production models of Gulfstream's new, near-supersonic flagship G650—which received FAA certification in the U.S. on September 7—have been rolling off the assembly line and winging their way to completion centers. The manufacturer expects to have the $64.5 million, 12,963-kilometer-range bizjet into the hands of customers before the end of this year.
The G650 is by far Gulfstream's most ambitious project to date. It has not been without a few problems along the way, including the loss of a certification aircraft and crew in April 2011 that temporarily halted flight testing, and some software issues. However, the aircraft has been thoroughly tested and deemed airworthy, and more than 200 customers have lined up for deliveries, making the G650 one of the most successful business jet launches ever. The aircraft's two chief attributes—size and speed—account for this popularity.
The G650 features 28 percent more cabin volume than the G550, itself a large 12- to 16-passenger jet. The G650's main cabin door is 190 centimeters high, the cabin floor is 203 centimeters wide and the finished cabin ceiling is 196 centimeters tall. In back, you'll find a cavernous, 5.5 cubic meters baggage compartment. All that space means room for larger seats, windows and monuments.
The cabin can be configured for up to 18 passengers in any of 12 floor plans, with either forward or aft galleys and with or without a dedicated crew rest area. The conference area is expandable from four seats to six by replacing the center cabin credenza with two single seats. With forward-galley layouts, an optional stateroom is available just forward of the aft lavatory.
The G650 cabin benefits from a combination of clean lines, high-tech accents and hints of art deco on the curved-edge cabinets. The absence of clutter and visible switching on this airplane is striking. The galley is large and decidedly high-tech.
The G650 mates its stylish, spacious and highly functional cabin to near-supersonic maximum cruise speeds. Earlier this year, the G650 set a speed record for business jets, making the trip from Washington, D.C., to Geneva, Switzerland, in 6 hours, 55 minutes, for a speed that averaged between Mach 0.90 and 0.92. It also flew from Los Angeles to Savannah, Georgia, in just 3 hours, 26 minutes. The G650 has a maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.925, making it the world's fastest business jet.
Thanks to its comfort and advanced technology, the G650 sets a new world standard. Thanks to its blistering speed, that world just got a little smaller.

This review is from: Samsung VG-STC3000 Skype TV Camera
Pros: Well it works with the tv I have. Skype works...sort of.
Cons: Motion control is a joke. you have to have a high contrast between the person moving and the wall behind. I was really hoping that this thing would be as good as the KINECT! Not even close.
Other Thoughts: If you are going to use it for Skype its okay, but your not going to control your tv with this thing. Basically feel like I wasted my money.

Madam Vastra and Jenny by ShawnVanBriesenWatch

Madam Vastra & Jenny. I just thought these were really interesting characters. I hope they show up again maybe with Sally Sparrow. See you in September, Doctor.
There is a Facebook page about they need have their show already. Check it out H E R E.
This is the back cover to the latest issue of Fish Fingers and Custard. [link]

where is strak
Someone's murdered Jenny again! Wrecked her spine... D:
I'm working on a new one of them. It'll be more anatomically correct.
Wish they had their spinoff! Great pictures
You should do another Hawkeye Initiative drawing with these poses
Well, Madam Vastra seems okay -but Jenny's pose is ridiculous. It would actually work really well as Hawkeye.
Yeah, that's true!
I thought I'd never done one of those 'breasts and butt' turned towards the camera poses. I feel dumb now. Live and learn I suppose. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
Aw! I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel bad!
But I'm glad you recognize it!
But I'm glad you recognize it!
No worries. It's a good thing!
Hi Shawn
I love your comments here.
I saw this work, and I love these characters, your drawing style, the colouring, the details, the weapons...
... but I was really put off by the poses, especially Jenny's.
( Madam Vastra's is better, but her pose still emphasises her butt and breasts at the same time . At least is is a believable action pose though, whereas Jenny's is of course a pin up pose... )
I was wondering if you'd seen that mock poster for The Avengers, where all the male heroes are put in Black Widow's pose?
So I was looking through the comments, to see if anyone had said anything, before I did.
I want to say that I think your response to BlackDistraction is brilliant!
Not everyone is open to noticing what is pointed out to them, and willing to learn from it, especially when it comes to women's poses in comic art vs mens. It's so ubiquitous and normalised, that you don't realise you are doing it, but many artists wouldn't see the problem with it anyway.
So again, such a positive response from you to BlackDistraction is refreshing and really appreciated!
Thank you. I feel like I have to be able to learn and grow. This is several years old now and the work I've done since then is more honest and not so ridiculous. I've been studying Alfred Cheney Johnston's work. He was really good at capturing the female form in his photography. Example- shawnvanbriesen.deviantart.com… It was beautiful but not so exploitative or misogynist. That's where I hope I'm heading. Thank you for your comments and response.
Alright, good!
You're right.
Malcolm Hulke must e spinning in his grave.
Its so pretty :3 love them
Loved them too
Featured this in my latest JOURNAL
Ooh! Vastra and Jenny, I already love them after one Doctor Who episode
I would so watch that show, and SALLY SPARROW! Wow, that would be one of the most epicly awesome shows ever!
Apart from Doctor who of course.
I would so watch that show, and SALLY SPARROW! Wow, that would be one of the most epicly awesome shows ever!
Apart from Doctor who of course.
I've always wanted Sally Sparrow to come back in any form. She's a Moff character so maybe... I'm pretty sure Madam V and Jenny will come back this fall. At least for one episode.
uuhhh im not sure but in talons of weing chang didnt the doctor forget to kill the giant rats so maybe you allready have your first foe
Very cool! THese two are pretty cool!
This is a strange place to ask this, I know, but are those actually what Jenny's shoes look like? I'm putting together a cosplay and have been having trouble with the shoes.
No. Not at all. I made those up. I feel like she was wearing flats once they got to Demons Run.
I agree with you there. I still can't beleive that Liz isn't with us anymore... Now there's a Sarah-Jane shaped gap in my heart... But a spin off series with these two would be awesome.
Awesome portrayal!
They were super awesome. And they should indeed have their own show!
Awesome piece here. Well done!
Awesome piece here. Well done!
Agreed I instantly fell in love with these to the same way I knew Captain Jack was awesome since the first episode I saw him in.
Love the detail on this, very awesome
YES YES YES. These are my favourite side characters for quite a while

XY is a weird case of generational timing. Gen 5 was never meant for this world longer then 2-3 years, yet the treatment of it was somewhat unprecedented. Its really hard to exactly pinpoint what XY's early arrival means and if Gen 5 had anything else planned, but for now I'm willing to say that XY arrived exactly when Nintendo wanted to more then when GF wanted to. What will be interesting with this early arrival of Gen 6 is how much of it will tie in with gen 5, which I will expect a lot of, simply cause a lot of the things started with gen 5 are so vaguely out of Unova that they can transfer easily any plot point to any region.

I have exactly the same problem, an Aussie living in the US and I just posted about it this morning. It seems there's no way to side-step the locking of language to location-services, which to me is simply bizarre and extremely short-sighted.
The language choices elsewhere on the iPhone do not seem to imply or restrict any localtion-related services, the location of your carrier or Apple account or sometimes GPS location is determining. Not making Siri work this way is just inviting frustration for no good reason as far as I can see.
Anyway, probably the only way to get Apple to fix this is to get as many people as possible filing bug reports on the feedback link that Tom posted earlier in this thread. Time for some crowdsourcing.
Meanwhile, I'm practicing rolling my R's and pronouncing every vowel completely and with a nice twang.

Me too I'm having the exact same problem, im a Brit in LA. I changed siris accent to British English so that words like WATER ( aka US 'wadder') etc could be understood and it worked perfectly, now I get told to change it back to US English if I'm searching g for businesses in LA.
Seems to me as though Siris accents are connected to their country of origin?
I think this is something APPLE are going to have to work on. I did hear someone say that Siri over time learns your accent like txt used to work but so far not much luck for me.

The poem I've chosen is Lineage by Margaret Walker. ( Text under cutCollapse )
The rationale for this poem is:
1. It's short with simple vocabulary (my students read well below grade level, and since I'm just introducing this specific technique I don't want to overwhelm them!)
2. Characters and setting are really easy to describe
3. We're about to start reading Kindred by Octavia Butler, a time-travel novel where a young black woman is sent back in time and meets her ancestors (a white master and a black slave). There's a lot of conflict between how she is able to act as a young black woman in the 1970s versus in the 1830s, and I like the similar thematic elements in this poem.
So. My question: I'm looking for artwork that I can use in a warm up in the same way - lots of information to pick out about the characters, setting, and tone of the piece, that is hopefully connected thematically to womanhood, ancestors, slavery, and/or the conflict of the individual versus society. Suggestions?

2015 Laureate
Aqeela Asifi
"When you have educated mothers, you will almost certainly have educated future generations. So if you educate girls, you educate generations" - Aqeela Asifi
©UNHCR / S. Rich
Aqeela Asifi is the 2015 winner of UNHCR's Nansen Refugee Award, recognised for her tireless efforts to provide education to hundreds of refugee girls.
A refugee herself, she fled Kabul, Afghanistan, with her family in 1992 during the Mujahedeen siege and found refuge in Kot Chandana refugee village in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
As a former teacher, Asifi was struck by the lack of schooling for girls – a consequence of the conservative culture in the refugee village – and was determined to teach them.
Winning the backing of the village elders, she bravely went door-to-door to convince reluctant parents to let her tutor their children. She began with just a handful of students in a makeshift school under a tent, writing out worksheets for the students by hand.
Over the next two years her tiny school blossomed and her accomplishments led to much-needed funding from the Pakistani Government. This allowed Asifi to expand the school to six tents and include local Pakistani girls too.
Now, 23 years after she arrived, her tent-school is a permanent building, and has transformed the lives of more than 1,000 girl students who have reached eighth grade and received a nationally endorsed certificate. Her teaching legacy has even had a cross-border impact, with two of her former students taking up the profession in Kabul.
Asifi is a true symbol of triumph over adversity. With her quiet patience and determination, she has changed the lives of hundreds of young refugees, offering them a pathway out of poverty, and a chance to build themselves a future.

Kurdish Iraqi immigrant Sam Malkandi has been held in federal detention facilities for four-and-a-half years, ever since it came to light that the onetime Kirkland resident helped arrange a medical appointment for a prominent al-Qaida operative.
Sam Malkandi, shown here after the fall of Baghdad, says the government can't detain him indefinitely.
Malkandi, who once worked as a contractor on Army bases preparing soldiers headed for Iraq, claimed he didn't know the true identity of the operative and was only doing a favor for a friend of a friend. Supporters portrayed him as a hard-working family man who loved his new country.
Nevertheless, an immigration judge ordered him deported, and that decision was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last August. Still, however, he remains at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.
Now, his attorneys have essentially told the government to put up or shut up.In the U.S. District Court of Western Washington, his attorneys have filed a "writ of habeas corpus," asking that Malkandi be released because of Constitutional protections against indefinite imprisonment.
Federal Judge Ricardo Martinez subsequently ordered the feds to show what's been going on with the deportation proceedings. The government's response is due today.
Malkandi's attorney Shaakirrah Sanders says the government has not revealed why it hasn't yet flown her client back to Iraq. Spokespeople for the U.S. Attorney's Office and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement could not provide an immediate explanation.
Sanders guesses, however, that Iraq is refusing to take Malkandi back. This would not be the first time that the war-torn country has declined to accept deportees. Last October, Iraq turned back a planeload of deportees from Britain. Like Malkandi, those denied entry were of Kurdish ethnicity. Malkandi, formerly a Christian, converted to Mormonism in the U.S., another reason Sanders suspects he's not wanted in primarily Muslim Iraq.
Sanders says she expects the government to say that it nevertheless plans to deport Malkandi in a "reasonable" time frame. She's hoping that the judge will demand specifics or let her client go--at least until a deportation date is certain. That way, she says, Malkandi could "spend whatever time he has left with his family."
UPDATE: The government's response, filed late yesterday, does not say that Iraq is refusing to take Malkandi back. It attributes the delay in deporting him in part to difficulty in obtaining paperwork needed for Malkandi's travel documents. But the filing also cites "logistical issues" that it does not explain.

Sometimes college basketball programs struggle to fill their schedules. There are, after all, only so many conference games to go around.
A date with this guy means another notch...in the loss column.
Eventually teams might need to look elsewhere to find an opponent. Like Basketball Travelers men's schedule board, the "Craigslist of college hoops" according to Deadspin.
Like the real Craigslist, most suitors don't want to come right out and say what they're interested in. So when Gonzaga promises "$ game at soldout arena" and "great experience," what its really saying is that if you fly all the way to Spokane you're gonna get your ass kicked, but at least you'll be well compensated.Despite the presence of the Zags, the board is mainly used for smaller programs who highlight their, um, attractiveness (i.e. beatability) to the heavies. Like Wright State, which promises to lose nine players in the next two years, including four seniors. (Easy win!)
Thankfully, of the state-wide teams seeking hook-ups (Eastern Washington, Washington State and Seattle U) not one debases itself quite as thoroughly. Although the Redhawks do offer free lodging. Whores.

The Seven Last Words of Christ
A Reflection by Fred Schaeffer, SFO
|"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
"Amen, I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise."
"Woman, behold thy son ... Behold thy mother."
"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
"I thirst."
"It is consumated"
"Father into thy hands I commend my spirit."

Good Friday thoughts and meditations.
(The 7 last words of Jesus Christ on Calvary as recorded by the Four Gospels
provided here in English and Latin) Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio
Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio
The Seven Last "Words" of Jesus Christ from the cross are actually 7 short phrases that Jesus uttered on Calvary that serve as an excellent holy week meditation. To find all of the seven last words of Jesus Christ, one must read all the gospels since none of the evangelists records all 7 last words. The sayings would have been originally uttered by Jesus in the Aramaic language, but only one of the last seven words of Jesus is preserved for us in the original Aramaic, namely "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani" or "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me," which is actually a direct quote of the opening verse of Psalm 22. The rest of the seven last words of Jesus are found in the gospels after having been translated into Greek by the four Evangelists. We reproduce them here in Latin as well as English, since the Latin version of the Seven Last Words of Christ has been used so extensively in sacred music, notably by composers such as Franz Josef Hayden. For centuries these seven last words of Jesus have been also used as meditation points for spiritual conferences, retreats, and Lenten missions. They are particularly wonderful to use for prayer during Holy Week, especially on Good Friday. For more food for prayer during Lent and Holy Week, visit the Lenten/Holy Week on-line resource library of the Crossroads Initiative.
1. "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." Lk. 23: 34 Pater, dimitte illis, quia nesciunt, quid faciunt.
2. "This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Hodie mecum eris in Paradiso. Lk. 23: 43
3. "Woman, behold thy son." Mulier, ecce filius tuus. Jn. 19: 26-7
4. "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Deus meus, Deus meus, utquid dereliquisti me? Mk. 15: 34 (Mt. 27: 46)
5. "I thirst." Sitio. Jn. 19: 28.
6. "It is finished." Consummatum est. Jn 19: 30
7. "Into thine hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum. Lk. 23:46
Great post for Easter...
Thank you
Words of wisdom bump.
Thanks, Sal, it's so good to be able to come to FR and see your inspiring posts.
Thanks, say a Hail Mary for the poster.
Will do, FRiend.
Thank you.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)
But physical torment takes its toll. He suddenly discovers that he cannot hear the still, small voice; he has lost his two-way communication with God. His lifeline is not working, so he must face the the narrow gate of death alone.
So who is Jesus talking too?
God bless you, and thank you for your efforts.
The Gospel records another time Jesus thirsted, in His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. It is then that He promised to give us the eternal water of Baptism, for which, once partaken, we shall not thirst again. It is then for the unbaptized that He thirsts of the Cross.
Let us remember also that non-Christian can make a decision for Christ, but an unbaptized baby cannot. This should put the horror of legalized abortion in perspective for us.
I was asked privately what did I mena by "legalized" abortion.
Abortion was illegal throughout Christian history. It was legalized in the US in the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. Originally the Row v. Wade only applied to certain gestational age of the baby, but soon other court decisions legalized abortion at any gestational age, up to the moment of complete birth, for any reason.
In many other "civilized" countries, especially Western Europe, abortion is likewise legalized although, unlike the US, they tend to have at least some restrictions. We in the US have exceptionally barbaric laws in that regard.
Canada has absolutely no laws regulating abortion at all.
Roe v. Wade did not "legalize" abortion in the US. It struck down the laws in certain states. Some states, like California, where Ronald Reagan signed a bill legalizing it, already had legal abortion. Some states did not ban it completely but restricted it. Each state set it's own laws.
Roe v. Wade struck down all state laws banning abortion during the first three months of pregnancy. It allowed some restrictions during the second trimester, and allowed states to ban all 3rd trimester abortions except where the was medical risk to the mother.
Thank you. These posts are so illuminating
Prior to Roe v. Wade abortion was illegal at least in some US states, as it has been throughout history of Christiandom.
Subsequent to Roe v. Wade it became legal throughout the US. At first, gestational age restrictions obtained, but shortly thereafter, in a separate decision, the courts sruck them down too. Since then we live under the regime whereby abortion on demand is legalized — it is proclaimed legal while it is not historically, or under natural justice, legal. If technical details are important to you on this thread, I can provide them, or you and the reader can do their own research.
At least. (When they repealed the law that was on the books, they never replaced it with anything. And there it stands.)
Thank you.
...say a Hail Mary for the poster.
Done, FRiend.
A blessed Holy Week to you.
It ends with a prayer of hope: "Let the coming generation be told of the Lord that they may proclaim to a people yet to be born the justice He has shown."
Just reading Psalm 22 is a wonderful Holy Week meditation.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)
"So who is Jesus talking too?"
Resty, Jesus Was talking to His Father, God....
Just as I thought no way could he be talking to the Trinity 3 i one!

Top 5: Holiday cheese recommendations
Sick of seeing tray after tray of uniform slices of Colby Jack and cheddar cheeses, layered back and forth, at holiday parties and family gatherings? Even though it might not taste all that bad, it's nice to think outside the box, especially since there are a number of cheeses produced right in our own backyard. Ever tried camembert? It's like brie, only better. Still gotta have your cheddar? How about one from Scotland?
For the holidays, Surdyk's Cheesemonger Josh Dix says he tries to recommend cheeses that allow people to branch out a little but are still crowd pleasers. Dix, who used to work for local cheesemaker Shepherd's Way, says "I like to recommend artisan versions of cheeses that sound familiar, like cheddar and Gouda, but that have far more flavor than many people might be used to. I also try to gauge how adventurous the customer and their guests are, and usually choose some cheeses that are mild but interesting, and some that might push their bounds just a little." Here are Dix's Top 5 cheese picks for this holiday season.
1. Bent River Camembert, made by Alemar Cheese Co. in Mankato, Minn. -- made with organic milk from Cedar Summit Farm in New Prague, Minn.
Bearing a bit more flavor than a traditional brie, Dix describes this cheese as "buttery and rich, but with a slight piquant bite on the finish. One of the best soft ripened cheeses made in the Midwest."
2. Granite Ridge organic goat cheese, made by Donnay Dairy in Kimball, Minn.
This cheese is easy to doctor up, Dix says. "You can go with something savory like olive oil, kalamatas, and roasted garlic to make an appealing appetizer, or go with something sweet, and spread fig or apricot preserves with the cheese for a divine dessert."
3. Marieke Gouda, made by Holland's Family Farm in Thorp, Wis.
Holland's cheese, Dix says, "has far more flavor and complexity than your average, red waxed cheese." Surdyk's has three different kinds of the farm's cheese: Young Gouda ("creamy and sweet"), Super Aged Gouda ("a more grassy and complex flavor than most"), and Fenugreek Spiced Gouda ("most unique ... tastes as if it's been flavored with maple").
4. Isle of Mull Cheddar, aged by Neal's Yard Dairy, Scotland.
"Isle of Mull is made from un-pasteurized milk from cows that are often fed the remaining grain husk from Scotch Whiskey production. The result is a wild flavor that ranges from winey and fruity to earthy, smoky, and sharp, but never overwhelming," Dix says. He says it's hard to believe this one even shares a name with what you find on many holiday trays.
5. Rogue River Blue, made by Rogue Creamery in Oregon.
Best for last? This seasonal cheese is only available this time of year and Dix says it's definitely something to look forward to. "Rogue River Blue is wrapped with Syrah grapes leaves that have been macerated with pear brandy, and then the wheels are hand-salted and aged for up to a year. The creamy texture is accented with flavors of berries and hazelnuts, and a yeasty, pear aroma."

Daniel Webster Elementary School sits high atop San Francisco's Potrero Hill, commanding a beautiful view of the bay. In 1991, ABC news anchor Peter Jennings celebrated Daniel Webster's success on " World News Tonight." He introduced the segment saying that the theme of the evening's broadcast was "expectations," and then continued: "Nowhere in America are expectations for success lower than they are at some of the country's poorest inner-city schools." The broadcast then switched to the on-site reporter, who said, "Statistics would predict that the kids who attend Daniel Webster Elementary School are at-risk of falling way behind grade-level, or becoming early dropouts. But statistics stop at the gate of this school. This is an Accelerated School, where they have eliminated repetition and demoralizing drill." The school succeeds because "they treat all students and their parents as though they are gifted, building on student strengths." And then, in what sounded much like the dialogue at a Deming seminar, the reporter added: "Crucial to their success is unity of purpose. Every day, there are meetings with the principal, parents, and teachers."
The school's commanding location high on Potrero Hill symbolizes in a way its recent high achievement. Of the 72 elementary schools in the San Francisco system, Daniel Webster Elementary showed the greatest gains in language arts during the 1990-91 school year. It was a close second in mathematics achievement. In the last two years, it has gone from being ranked 69th among the district's schools to a far more respectable 23rd. The average increase across all five grades in mathematics was 19 percentile points, with all grades performing above grade level. A closer look at this school reveals some good reasons why this upward trajectory should continue.

Stanley 112 scraper plane for parts beaded front knob
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Tools
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jul 12, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
To my regular customers: I am back listing more tools, taking another break from a kitchen remodel. I have a LOT of great tools that I will be listing, including some extraordinary molding planes, plus my usual "one man's junk is another man's treasure" tools and parts.You are bidding on an incomplete Stanley #112 scraper plane as pictured. Or at least, I am guessing that it is a Stanley and not a Sargent or other equivalent, as it is unmarked. The blade is missing, the nut that holds the blade is also missing, and the blade holder is cracked as shown. The body is in good condition, and I would guess that around 80% of the japanning is intact and still shiny, but t are some spots of surface rust showing the japanning and t The bottom has a few areas of faint pitting, but nothing serious. The front knob is intact and has the bead around the bottom as shown, and the rear handle is intact except for a chip at the tip. It will benefit from a cleaning, especially the wood and brass parts. Please read my shipping terms below, as the US Post Office made some major changes on May 14, and so I have adjusted my terms. Please see my other current as well as upcoming auctions, as I am or will be listing many more collectible planes and tools. ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and pictures only of the left side when the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I sell lots of parts, and if you are nervous that I am swapping parts, please understand two things about me. One, I never seem to have the part I need, so t aren't many opportunities, and two, if I have swapped anything, I will tell you. If I think the wedge on a molding plane is not original, I will tell you. If I think a japanned plane has been repainted, I will tell you. What goes around, comes around. RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please bid with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. MY PET PEEVE: is having my response to your question bounce back with an undeliverable email address. If you want me to take the time to carefully answer your question, then I want you to take the time to make sure that the email address that you have registered with eBay is correct. Just because you have the correct address with PayPal does NOT seem to guarantee that you have the correct address with eBay. I would guess that 1 response in 10 is not deliverable. US SHIPPING: Unless noted otherwise above, the fixed amount quoted buys you UNINSURED Priority Mail to anyw in the US. On auctions ending under $100.00, I will give you the option of adding insurance at cost. On auctions that end over $100, I require that you purchase insurance. I will combine on multiple purchases to save on shipping whenever possible (see below), and I accept Paypal or money orders. On purchases under $50, AND if you have good feedback, I will also accept a personal check. COMBINED SHIPPING: If you are thinking about bidding on several items, especially small but heavy items like tools, I can often ship 2 or 3 or 4 items for not much more than one. The trick is whether or not I can use one of the Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes from the US Post Office. The cost is fixed, except for insurance, no matter what the weight, and no matter w in the US you are. These boxes are not huge, and a #7 or #8 plane won't fit, but I can just get TWO #6's or 3 #4's or a bunch of block or molding planes into one box. Even with the new postage rates, $9.50 will cover the postage to anyw in the US, and leave me 55 cents towards the cost of bubble wrap and peanuts and tape. That can really bring the shipping...

Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Thetford Town picked up a useful point in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division, thanks to a 1-1 draw at Woodbridge Town, who are bottom of the table but won 3-2 at Kirkley & Pakefield on Saturday and have rallied recently.
Kirkley bounced back from that defeat with a 3-2 win at mid-table rivals Walsham-le-Willows. Goals from player-manager Jamie Godbold, Kyle Baker and Kaiden Goldspink edged the victory.
The win moves Kirkley above Stanway Rovers into 12th place and Thetford's draw leaves them four points clear of the relegation zone with nine games to play.
The Brecklanders are away at Norwich United on Saturday, in a midday kick-off as part of the Norfolk Hop, one of the Thurlow Nunn League's 'groundhopper' days.
As part of the initiative Gorleston's match against Brantham Athletic will kick-off at Emerald Park at 3pm and Great Yarmouth Town will host Swaffham Town at The Wellesley at 6pm.

By Tom Easterby - Newcastle United Club Reporter
At St. James' Park
Newcastle United 1 (Townsend 58)
Crystal Palace 0
Heroics from Andros Townsend and Karl Darlow at both ends of the pitch helped Newcastle United keep their bid for Barclays Premier League survival on track with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Townsend's superb 58th-minute free kick - his fourth goal since his arrived in January - won the game for Rafa Benitez's side in front of a packed St. James' Park.
And the Magpies were also indebted to goalkeeper Darlow, who pulled off an excellent save to keep out former United favourite Yohan Cabaye's penalty with 20 minutes left on the clock and make sure his side earned a vital three points.
The result lifted Newcastle out of the drop zone, prior to Norwich City's trip to Arsenal in the day's evening kick-off.
In a free-flowing opening 45 minutes, both Benitez's men and former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew's visitors had fleeting sights of goal, but neither was able to make a breakthrough. Pardew's Eagles, who were deprived of the services of the injured Wilfried Zaha for their trip up to Tyneside, started brightly however, with Papa Souare swinging in a cross from the byline for Jason Puncheon, who couldn't connect cleanly with a volley.
But it took a perfectly timed sliding challenge from Scott Dann to prevent Papiss Cisse from pulling the trigger inside the box just after that though, as the Senegalese frontman - scorer of United's first goal in the 2-2 draw at Liverpool last time out - latched on to Cheick Tiote's pass and turned his man.
At the other end, a similarly vital challenge from Jamaal Lascelles stopped former Sunderland forward Connor Wickham from shooting after Damien Delaney's through ball had presented him with an opening, as the game remained open.
Much of the hosts' most dangerous forays forward involved Townsend, who almost found himself with a scoring opportunity after Georginio Wijnaldum's searching pass, but the ex-Spurs wideman was forced wide of Wayne Hennessey's goal and the chance slipped away.
Darlow was forced into his first meaningful save just before the half hour, batting away Cabaye's fierce strike from a tight angle, before a quick counter attack resulted in winger Yannick Bolasie cutting in from the left and taking aim from distance. The Congolese international's powerful effort, though, just flashed past Darlow's upright.
An end-to-end first period culminated in Chacel Mbemba trying his luck from 30 yards out, which forced Hennessey to dive to his left and push away the centre half's goalbound strike, and Jack Colback's curling effort which was just off target.
Wijnaldum - in for Ayoze Perez in Benitez's only change from the team that drew at Anfield seven days previously - had the first chance of the second half, turning Palace's defence and firing in a shot which was blocked. Then Townsend had a go with his unfavoured right foot, but Hennessey gathered his 20-yarder with ease.
But the next time Townsend took aim, Hennessey couldn't get anywhere near it. The 24-year-old was felled by Dann just outside the box, and he picked himself to curl a stunning free kick into the top left-hand corner, sending a sold-out St. James' Park wild.
However, on 70 minutes Palace were presented with a glorious chance to equalise. Referee Mike Dean adjudged Moussa Sissoko to have handled Cabaye's corner under pressure from Dann, and pointed to the spot.
French midfielder Cabaye - who made almost a century of appearances in black and white before his departure for Paris Saint-Germain in January 2014 - stepped up to take the penalty, but goalkeeper Darlow went the right way, diving to left to parry away the spot-kick in front of the Gallowgate End.
After that miss, Palace upped the ante, with substitute Bakary Sako looking likely to create, but their sporadic threat was nullified expertly by the Newcastle back four of Anita, Mbemba, Lascelles and Paul Dummett, who remained resolute as the hosts dug in to seal the victory.

Brill, 2002 - 310 من الصفحات
This volume focuses on how legitimate leadership came to be defined in the formative period of Islam in terms of two key Qur'anic concepts: moral excellence ("fa?l/fa la") and precedence ("s?biqa"). These two concepts undergirded a specific discourse on leadership which developed in the first century of Islam. This discourse is reconstructed through careful scrutiny of the "man?qib" literature in particular, which contains detailed accounts of the excellences attributed to the R?shid?n caliphs. This book stresses that all early factions, including the proto-Sh?'a, subscribed to the Qur'?nically-mandated vision of a righteous polity guided by its most morally excellent members. Such a conclusion forces us to rethink the nature of leadership in the earliest period and reconsider the criteria invoked to establish its legitimacy.
