Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - A trip to the Alamo with a chance to pull
even atop the Western Conference awaits for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Kevin Durant tallied 23 points and 11 rebounds in the Thunder's 91-79 win over
the Boston Celtics.
At 47-16, Oklahoma City is chasing the San Antonio Spurs for the top seed in
the west. The Thunder have won eight of their last nine tilts and can pull
even for the top spot with a win against the Spurs Monday.
Russell Westbrook added 15 points in the victory.
Jeff Green finally made his initial appearance in Oklahoma City since the
Thunder shipped him to Boston in the Kendrick Perkins trade on Feb. 24, 2011.
He missed the following season after open heart surgery, but finally returned
and netted just eight points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Paul Pierce recorded 20 points for the Celtics, who had their five-game
winning streak snapped.

I think the right map makes more sense. On the left, there is this outer rim of the map, that is actually very interesting to the setting and should not be split up, while on the right: Who needs details about the wastelands in the dayzone or the endless ice in the nightzone?
Two things that come into my mind: The day zone will be frozen over, if this has the base parameters like earth. Look at the north pole, it does no melt even in it's summer days, when the sun constantly shines on it at a low angle. When the sun does not shine at all, there should definitly be ice.
The dominant wind direction is easy: Air rises on the hot side and thus falls on the cold side and near the surface there will be a constant flow of air from night to day, thus the habitable rind will probably be a good bit towards the sunny side. Less "Land of the perpetual dawn" and more "Land of the perpetual 9 o'clock forenoon"

|Holyoke school calendar approved
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Tuesday, Aug. 18 through Thursday, May 27 are the dates for the 2009-2010 school year in Holyoke School District Re-1J.
Next year's school calendar was adopted by the Holyoke Board of Education at its regular meeting Tuesday, April 7.
With 173 student-teacher contact days in the calendar, the board waived its policy requiring 180 student contact days. Staff days are still numbered at 190 for the 2009-10 school year.
The calendar cites staff inservice days with no school for students the first Friday of each month except January, in which the inservice day will be held Monday, Jan. 4. The BOCES inservice day will be held Monday, Sept. 28.
Vacation days are listed for Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7; Friday, Oct. 23 after Oct. 19, 20 and 22 parent-teacher conferences; Nov. 25-27, Thanksgiving; Friday afternoon, Dec. 18 through Friday, Jan. 1 for Christmas; Friday, Feb. 19; Friday, March 19 after March 15, 16 and 18 parent-teacher conferences; and April 2 and 5 for Easter Spring Break.
Parent Ken Penzing proposed a calendar involving a four-day school week during November through the second week in April, citing they're the months with the highest heating/cooling costs.
His calendar also featured 173 student-teacher contact days, with classes starting Tuesday, Sept. 8 and ending Friday, June 18. He proposed half-day mini-camp days Aug. 18-21 for reading, math and language arts.
Penzing's proposal included a full week vacation for Thanksgiving, as well.
Realizing he was late in the process with his proposal, Penzing just offered it as food for thought.
Nonrenewal approved; extra JH track coach request denied
A one-hour executive session was held during last week's board meeting for discussion of certified staff evaluations and classified staff recommendations for 2009-10. Included in the closed session were Supt. Stephen Bohrer and principals Susan Ortner and Jennifer Kral.
Later in the meeting, the school board approved a resolution to nonrenew the contract of JH language arts teacher Susan Kurtzer.
In other personnel matters, the board referenced a letter received from head JH track coach Angie Powell, asking for a third paid assistant JH track coach in consideration of the large number of participants (43) and age of the JH kids.
A motion to approve Ryan Oosthuysen as an assistant JH track coach at a stipend of $1,241 failed on a 3-3 vote. Voting in favor of the additional paid coach were Kris Camblin, Kendon Olofson and Jeff Tharp, while Linda Jelden, Jon King and Laura Krogmeier voted no. Dan Kafka was absent from the meeting.
Supt. search dates highlighted
Board members met with Colorado Association of School Boards reps Bob Cito and Randy Zila prior to Tuesday night's board meeting.
Cito outlined the superintendent search process, and timelines for meeting dates were identified.
The board will meet Thursday, April 16 at 7 a.m. to select community members to participate in the interviews of finalists for the superintendent of schools position. Those interested are to submit their names for consideration by Wednesday, April 15.
Monday, April 20, the board will hold an executive session to screen candidate applications. That same evening, Cito will hold a two-hour training session with those on the interview committee.
A regular board meeting is set for Tuesday, April 21 at 8 p.m. Then Thursday, April 24 at 7 a.m., the board will determine the candidates they plan to interview. Actual interviews will be scheduled Friday and Saturday, May 1-2.
Supt. announces plans
Supt. Bohrer opened his report at last week's meeting by noting he has accepted a position as executive director of the San Luis Valley BOCES, based in Alamosa, starting July 1.
He also reported the Los Padres/Las Madres Tuesday night program finished up the night of the board meeting.
Other reports
Additional reports were given at last week's board meeting from principals Ortner and Kral, as well as third grade teacher Lynn Schneider and her student teacher Nicole Churchwell.
JR/SR High Principal Ortner reported total numbers attending the student-led and walk-in parent-teacher conferences this spring. She said total JH spring conferences were 81 percent turnout and total HS turnout was 74 percent. Both were up from the spring of 2008.
Ortner also shared comments from 23 staff members on progress made on the four building goals.
From the elementary school, principal Kral reported very favorable comments on the fifth grade student-led parent-teacher conferences.
Kral also told the board about the success of the Reading First program at the elementary school. She highlighted comments on how Reading First helped the school, including aspects that have been most helpful. She also reported what parts of Reading First will be continued in the future and what will be discontinued, based on lack of funds.
Schneider and Churchwell outlined the process involved in incorporating a student teacher into the classroom activity.
Through Colorado Christian University, Churchwell was involved in the local classroom for 15 weeks. She observed for a week, then started working in one subject per week. She taught everything completely for five weeks, then started phasing out subjects.
She's been able to spend time in other classrooms and other reading groups to give her more experience. Schneider noted Churchwell has brought a number of new ideas to the forefront, which have been beneficial and fun to see.
Other business
In other business at the April 7 meeting, the Re-1J Board:
—approved use of the new gym June 1-5 for coach John Baumgartner's annual basketball camp.
—revised a board policy regulation on guidelines for administration of the instructional staff salary schedule.
—amended the district's Section 125 Plan to include the new Special HIPAA Enrollment Rights clause.
—appointed Jeff Tharp and Kris Camblin to present graduation diplomas.

2010 Dodge Challenger - Seeing RedWritten by on April 9, 2013 We take a rolled 2010 Challenger and make it look new again
When it comes to late-model Mopars and drag racing, we know what you're thinking: These cars are too expensive to make into dedicated drag racing vehicles. And while purchasing a new Challenger off the dealership lot, or acquiring one of the limited edition Dodge Drag Pak vehicles may not be in your budget, there is another way to build a late-model race car. Just like muscle cars of the '60s and '70s, many new Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T and SRT models are being sold to anyone who can get financing or write a check, and not necessarily strictly to drivers that can handle the cars. As a result, we're seeing these cars show up at auctions and scrap yards after being wrecked, and many of these vehicles can be had for pennies on the dollar, depending on the extent of damage they've incurred.
Of course, there are drawbacks to purchasing a wrecked car and using it to build a race car, but there are many distinct advantages as well. On the drawback side, it's a lot of work to rebuild a car that has been in a bad collision, and you'd better enjoy bodywork or have a friend who owns a body shop to fix one of these cars properly. If the car has had substantial damage, the frame may be tweaked as well, requiring the car to be re-squared before it can be safely driven or raced. Additionally, cars that have received extensive damage in an accident, often come with what's called a salvage title, meaning they are either only good for parts, or they must be rebuilt and inspected by the DOT before they can be put back on the road. For the purposes of racing however, this last drawback isn't much of a concern, and can lead to a good deal.
On the positive side, purchasing a wrecked late-model Mopar generally means that you can score the car for a lot less than the sticker price. Cars that are considered totaled, generally sell at auction for a quarter or less of the new value, depending on the damage, and more damage can lead to a better deal. As an added benefit, these cars often have low mileage, and many parts such as the interior and drive train can be salvaged and sold to recover the money invested in the car. Of course, you'll have to have a dealer's license to buy a car at an auction, and many salvage yards won't sell you a wrecked car in entirety since its worth more to them as parts, but if you know a dealer or have some connections, these cars can be had.
Since our friend Fred Menditto is a local Florida dealer specializing in wholesale vehicles, he has just the credentials necessary to pick up one of these damaged cars at auction. Fred and his family are also dedicated Mopar racers, and both of the Menditto kids grew up at the track driving "Mopar" junior dragsters and funny cars, and eventually racing a series of big-block and Hemi powered Dusters at tracks in Florida, and the Southeast. At the car auctions that Fred attends for his business, he began noticing damaged late-model Mopars showing up, so he decided his son Rick's next drag car would be a new Dodge Challenger.
Eventually Fred found a deal on a '10 Challenger R/T that was involved in a rollover accident, and purchased the car as a foundation. We decided to follow along as Fred transformed this car into a cool, late-model drag car, and teamed up with Fred and his son Rick to build this car in to a competitive racer. In previous issues of Mopar Muscle, we've tackled the car's front and rear suspension, brakes, fuel system, and transmission. We also showed how great the third-generation Hemi engine is by teaming up with Indy Cylinder Head to build a powerful 426-inch powerplant, making 719 horsepower on 93 octane pump gas with a relatively mild hydraulic roller cam and single 950-cfm carburetor. This month we'll show you how this totaled Challenger was made to look new again, with the help of Silverking Collision Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Prior to building this Challenger into a race car, Fred completely disassembled the car and sold the engine, transmission, rear differential, and much of the interior to recoup nearly all of the money he spent on the car. This car only showed some 18,000 miles on the odometer, so most of the items that weren't damaged in the accident brought premium money on the used parts market. With a little more than the cost of investment recovered, it was time to find the body parts necessary to get this Challenger looking new again. Luckily, since these cars are still in production, body parts are available from both the dealer and aftermarket manufacturers, and are relatively inexpensive when compared to body parts for early Mopars. This is a nice benefit since this Challenger needed nearly every body panel to be replaced or repaired, due to the damage in the accident.
Prior to taking the Challenger to Silverking Collision Center, Fred began acquiring the needed body panels himself by checking prices for both new and used items. Having worked previously as a parts manager at a couple of different Chrysler dealerships, Fred took advantage of his experience and obtained many of the parts like the roof skin, door skins, inner fenders, and rear bumper cover straight from Chrysler. Other parts, like the fenders, mirrors, and front bumper covers he purchased used to save a few bucks. Once all of the parts were obtained, the Challenger was sent to the body shop so the work could begin.
Repairing body damage to a late-model Mopar is often far easier than getting your classic car repaired. Most body shops specialize in cars that are currently being produced, since they are the cars that are most often damaged in accidents. While many body shops say they'll repair or paint your classic Mopar, we've had some bad experiences watching our vehicles sit at the body shop, sometimes for years, while the shop knocks out the late-model work quickly. Fortunately, Silverking's owner Steve Smyrski is very adept at repairing new Dodge vehicles, and wasn't scared to tackle this Challenger even though the damage was substantial.
This car actually required two visits to the body shop, as the frame first needed to be checked before the car was sent to the chassis shop for the back-half aftermarket chassis to be installed. After the chassis work was complete, the car was taken back to Silverking so the new body panels could be installed, the bodywork could be completed, and the car could be painted. In some areas, like the rear quarter panels, the damage to this vehicle wasn't bad enough to require panel replacement. Other areas, like the fenders, roof skin, and door skins, were damaged enough that it just didn't make sense to repair the panels and it was quicker and more economical to simply replace them.
With the new panels welded and bolted in place, the team at Silverking got busy performing the final bodywork, and block sanding the panels. Having some prior body shop experience, Fred performed much of the time consuming block sanding himself, saving the cost of paying the body shop for this additional labor. When the Challenger's panels were deemed straight and ready for paint, the Challenger was rolled into the paint booth so that painter Matt Raghoo could apply the base and clear coats of BASF's Glasurit 90 line of waterborne paint. Since this Challenger was already painted in the high impact color of Tor-Red, Fred chose to stay with the factory color, which is coded PR3.
We must admit we were impressed at the outcome of this project. Thanks to the hard work performed by Fred and the crew at Silverking Collision Center this Challenger truly looks like it was never wrecked. Looking at the photos of the car when it was purchased at the auction, it's difficult to believe that the final result could look so good. This is definitely turning out to be a nice racecar, and certainly worthy of our 700-plus horsepower third-generation Hemi engine. Be sure to follow along as we finish the car in upcoming issues, and get our Challenger to the track for some real world testing.

03] The left quarter-panel required the most work, but straightening it was still easier and less expensive than replacing the panel. Luckily, all of the panels for late-model Mopars are available from a variety of sources.04] The front fenders sustained substantial damage in the accident, so we found a pair of nice used fenders and installed them. Rather than replacing both doors, the door skins were removed and replaced with new sheetmetal from Chrysler.05] By painting the engine bay himself, Fred saved some money since he didn't have to pay the body shop to perform this task. If you have the skills, it's nearly always cheaper to do whatever you can yourself when building a project car, especially a race car.06] Taped off and in the booth, the Challenger was coated with a thick layer of sandable primer. This will fill any small sanding scratches around areas where bodywork was performed, and provide a uniform surface and color to apply the paint. After curing, this primer coat is again block sanded to ensure the car is ready for final paint.07] Silverking mixed the BASF Glasurite PR3 paint to begin shooting the basecoat. This is a waterborne paint system, which is much more environmentally friendly than solvent based paint systems.08] Water based automotive paints generally cover with fewer coats than solvent based paints, so less of the product is required. Flash time is reduced as well, so the entire painting process takes less time.09a] Many parts, like the mirrors, rocker covers, and bumper covers, are painted separately to ensure complete coverage. After the paint cures, these parts can be carefully installed on the car. We also had an aftermarket windshield installed, which is thinner and lighter than factory glass.10a] How did the car turn out? Let's just say that it looks great going down the track, or just sitting in the staging lanes. In fact, nobody can believe that it isn't a factory paint job, which is why we're printing this photo of the car when we started for comparison. Be sure to watch a future issue of Mopar Muscle, as we add the finishing touches to our Challenger drag car and give you all the details of how the car ran during testing!

Zimbra Community,
Thanks for your ecstatic response to the launch of ZCS 3.0. We appreciate your congrats and kudos. We must thank all the beta testers who made this launch a success. Open Source is more than just the transparency of our code but it's also about the community. Open wiki, open bug database, open dialog, and last but not least an open forum. Zimbra's community is the strongest and fastest growing community in this space. From 0 to nearly 1800 members in less than 5 months. From 0 to over 15k+ downloads per month. From 0 to 8 OS platforms. Your contributions of translations, bug reports, test cases, and feedback are un-matched. Innovation is a key to Zimbra's strategy. It's not about creating an open source version of yesterday's messaging system. It's not about moving from a windows mail system to the rock solid Linux/OSX platform. It's about MOVING FORWARD. It's about Zimlet's, it's about Greg's Admin UI extensions, it's about integrated search, it's about EASY installs, it's about native sync to the clients and devices of your choice, it's about lowering the TCO of operating your messaging system. So thanks for everything so far, but this is just the beginning, may we continue to innovate with you for a better messaging and collaboration experience.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – With a lump in his throat and a somber tremble in his voice, actor Billy Crystal paid a cosmic tribute to Robin Williams at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, two weeks after the comedian died in an apparent suicide.
Crystal, a longtime friend of Williams who rose to fame in the same 1970s comedy circuit, remembered the madcap performer as "the brightest star in a comedy galaxy".
"It is very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in our lives," said Crystal.
Williams, 63, was found dead at his home near San Francisco on Aug. 11. He had been suffering from severe depression, anxiety and early Parkinson's disease, his publicist said.
The Oscar-winning actor and comedian had won Emmys in 1987 and 1988 for his performances in a variety or musical program.

Daniel Woods Spins The Wheel of Wolvo (V15)
Daniel Woods has completed the second ascent of The Wheel of Wolvo (V15) in Mount Evans, Colorado. Woods reports via his Instagram account: "Such a sick line climbing the entire right side roof section of the Evil Backwards boulder."
The first ascent of this 30-move, power endurance problem fell to Jimmy Webb just last week. Webb told Rock and Ice that The Wheel of Wolvo was probably his "first true V15." Woods commented on Instagram that the problem was "very morpho" for him, alluding to the fact that the line was tough due to his size. "Had to climb tall to do this rig," wrote Woods. "A mental battle to complete ... Onto the next."

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Whether you wish to simply play in a jazz group or you seek a
complete jazz education, those participating in jazz and contemporary
music at Otterbein enjoy a wide array of ensembles and a full compliment
of courses to support their interests. Jazz area ensembles are among
the most visible in the music department, as each performs regularly at
venues on and off campus.
Participation in ensembles and most courses are open to all Otterbein
students regardless of major. More serious students may be interested
in one of our Bachelor of Arts degrees with emphasis in Jazz Studies,
Music Business or Audio Production. Whatever your level of interest, at
Otterbein you can study with dedicated educators who are also
accomplished professional musicians.
The Columbus area offers a very active and diverse live music scene
from which students derive nearly endless opportunities to attend jazz
and contemporary music performances. The abundance of music venues in
the area often allows many of our students to book their own
professional engagements as well.
Director: Jay Miglia
The Jazz Ensemble is the flagship group of the instrumental jazz
area. This group concentrates on big band compositions and arrangements
from the past 70 years, with an emphasis on more current music and
historically significant pieces. Instrumentation may vary, but holds
closely to the typical big band coterie of around 20 musicians. The
goals of this ensemble are to learn important repertoire and performance
practice from stylistic innovators in the genre, develop one-on-a-part
section blend, swing feel and ensemble precision, and increase
improvisation skills.
Directors: Chris Berg and Karl Wohlwend
Jazz was first played in small combos and this kind of ensemble
remains the crucible in which artists prepare themselves. The
instrumentation of these groups is very flexible to allow maximum
participation by any interested student. The goals of each combo are to
learn tunes from the standard jazz canon and elsewhere, improve
understanding of form and chord-scale reading, build improvisation
skills and a precise, unified ensemble sound. Otterbein usually carries
two jazz combos, both of which are free to explore diverse jazz styles
and adapt any music into their format.
Director: Chris Berg
The Guitar Ensemble explores the art of the small guitar ensemble in a
contemporary jazz and multi-idiom context including part-reading, jazz
phrasing, accompaniment, arranging/composition, and improvisation. Prior
experience with the guitar and some note reading ability are required. A
recent smaple of repertoire includes compositions by Sting, Frank
Zappa, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, and various jazz standards.
Director: Karl Wohlwend
The Anticipations was
created as an outlet for Otterbein students who are interested in
popular music. Over the course of each year, the group cover a variety
of styles and many opportunities for students to get involved at their
comfort level, or stretch beyond it if they choose. Members can opt to
step out front as the lead singer, take a supportive role with simple
keyboard or percussion parts, or take a technical role. It all comes
together to provide a great experience in an actual working band. The
group performs at least once each semester and produces a CD each year in
conjunction with our Audio Production students. The Anticipations is
open to any student currently enrolled at Otterbein University,
regardless of major.
Director: Dr. Gayle Walker
Opus One is a 16-voice jazz ensemble that performs a wide variety of
music, including unaccompanied multi-part pieces. Opus One has a busy
performance schedule, and is one of the featured ensembles each February
for "Music and Romance," a performance in an off-campus venue that also
serves as a fundraiser for student touring.

|Personal property declaration schedules due Monday, April 16
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Phillips County Assessor Doug Kamery reminds area residents the deadline for filing a personal property declaration schedule is Monday, April 16.
Anyone who owns taxable personal property with a total actual value greater than $5,000 is required to file a schedule, even if he or she did not receive one from the assessor's office. "Taxable personal property" is briefly defined as furnishings, equipment and other movable items which are used in the production of income and do not qualify as exempt.
To qualify as exempt, personal property must fall within one of the following categories: inventories of merchandise, materials and supplies held for business use or sale, agricultural products, livestock, equipment used on a farm or ranch to produce agricultural products or handle livestock, computer software, household furnishings not productive of income at any time, business personal property with a total actual value of $5,000 or less per county and "consumable" personal property with an economic life of one year or less or that has an acquisition cost, inclusive of installation cost, sales tax and freight expense to the point of use of $250 or less.
Kamery added the assessor's office asks anyone who received a personal property schedule in January to please complete and return it, even if the total value of his or her personal property is under $5,000. This, Kamery said, will assist the office in keeping its records up to date and will help ensure the removal of equipment that should no longer be listed.
Any personal property not declared by April 16 is subject to valuation by "best information available" and may result in a penalty on the owner's tax bill. Requests for declaration schedules, as well as any questions about what kinds of property should be reported, may be directed to the county assessor's office at 854-3151.

Two people killed in a crash in Jackson County's Henrietta Township this past weekend have been identified.
The Sheriff's office says 16-year-old Jacob T. Schambers of Munith and his passenger, 21-year-old Adam M. Robinson of Jackson's Leoni Township, died when their vehicle crashed on Coonhill Road, just before 10:30pm Saturday night.
Investigators believe the 2003 Ford pickup was eastbound on Coonhill Road when it failed to negotiate a curve, left the road and flipped over. The truck also hit a utility pole, knocking power out to the area.
Investigators believe alcohol was a factor and say it appears neither occupant was wearing a seat belt. The crash remains under investigation.

You can choose different board and piece styles.
Click the Game menu, and then click Change Appearance.
This guide is designed to get you started. More in-depth insight on this complex game can be found online or in your local library.
Chess Titans is a game for two players, dubbed White and Black. The goal is to capture your opponent's king. In the game, this is known as a checkmate.
Chess is played on a board with 64 squares. Each player begins with 16 pieces, lined up in two rows. The first row is occupied by pieces called pawns. The next row contains: a king, a queen, two rooks, two bishops, and two knights.
White goes first, then players alternate turns.
Click a piece and then click the square where you want to move it. When you select a piece, Chess Titans shows you where it can move by highlighting the square in blue; squares with enemy pieces available for capture are shown in red.
One square in any direction—forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally. The king is the game's weakest piece, and its most important.
An unlimited number of unoccupied squares in any direction. The queen is the game's most powerful piece.
An unlimited number of unoccupied squares, but only forward, backward, or sideways.
An unlimited number of unoccupied squares, but only diagonally.
In the shape of an "L"—two squares in any direction, a 90-degree turn, and then one more square. The knight is the oddball of the game. Knights are also the only pieces that are allowed to jump other pieces.
Two squares forward on its first move, one square forward thereafter. Exception: pawns capture enemy pieces by moving diagonally.
It's illegal to move into a square occupied by one of your own pieces. If you enter a square held by your opponent, the occupying piece is deemed captured and removed from the board.
A checkmate occurs when the king is trapped by an enemy piece with no available escape route. When this happens, the king's square will glow red.
In additions to the moves allowed for each piece, the game of chess also has strategic maneuvers. Here are a few that you can try:
This defensive maneuver—designed to protect your king—involves moving two pieces at once. It's the only time in chess that this is legal. In a castle, the king moves two spaces sideways, while the rook moves to the space the king skipped over.
You're only allowed to castle if your king and rook are both in their original positions, the king isn't in check, and there are no pieces blocking the maneuver. If castling is possible, Chess Titans shows where the king should go by turning the square purple. To make the move, click the square.
This rare but useful offensive move—from the French for "in passing"—is legal only under certain circumstances. It occurs when one of your pawns is stationed in the fifth row, and an enemy pawn in an adjacent column attempts to advance two squares on its first move.
Normally the enemy pawn would evade capture (remember, pawns attack on the diagonal). By employing an en passant, you can move your piece diagonally to the empty square behind the enemy pawn to capture it. This is legal only if executed immediately following the enemy pawn's first move.
Advance a pawn clear across the board, and you can promote it to rook, knight, bishop, or queen. This increases the number of powerful pieces in your army. Upgrading to queen is typically the best strategy.
Chess Titans is a complex strategy game, and success depends on planning ahead, paying attention to your opponent, and making adjustments as the game goes on.
Because the strategy used in a game of chess can be complicated, hundreds of helpful books have been written about mastering the game. As players become more interested in the game, they often look to these references for more advanced information. What we can explain to you here is limited to the object of the game, how to start a game, and how to move each piece on the board.
The object of the game is to put your opponent's king in checkmate. Each player has one king. As you capture your opponent's pieces, you'll gradually make the opposing king more and more vulnerable to capture. When your opponent's king cannot move out of the way of your pieces before your next turn, you've won the game. When you see a bold red square under your king, it's in check, and your opponent has won.
At the beginning of a game, the chess board features two groups of 16 pieces, each arranged in two rows, with one piece to a square. As you move your pieces forward across the board, you and your opponent will try to occupy the same squares. If you can move one of your pieces to a square that your opponent occupies, you capture that piece and remove it from the board. This reduces the size (and strength) of your opponent's set of pieces.
Open the Games folder by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Games, and then clicking Games Explorer.
If Chess Titans is not available, you might need to turn on the Games feature. For more information about turning on the Games feature, see Where are my games?
If you don't have a saved game, Chess Titans starts a new game. If you have a saved game, you can continue your previous game.
To make your first move, click a piece and then click the square where you want to move it.
Players take turns moving their pieces across the board, moving one piece per turn. Squares where you can move your pieces will be blue; squares where you can capture an opponent's piece will be red. Players can't move to a square occupied by a piece from their own army, but any piece can capture any other piece from the opponent's army. The six types of pieces that make up your army can move in the following ways:
Pawns. Pawns can only move forward, and only one square at a time. On the first move, however, a pawn can move forward either one or two squares. Pawns move forward diagonally to capture opposing pieces.
Rooks. Rooks can move forward, backward, or sideways in either direction for as many squares as you decide to move them.
Knights. Knights can move two squares in any direction, and then turn 90 degrees and move one more square. Knights are the only piece that can jump over other pieces while moving. All other pieces must stop when another piece (of either color) is in their path.
Bishops. Bishops can move diagonally, in any direction, and for as many squares as you decide to move them.
Queens. Queens can move as far as you want to move them in any direction (forward, back, sideways, and diagonal) as long as they travel in a straight line. Next to the king, the queen is the most valuable piece in your army.
Kings. Kings can move one space in any direction. Slow moving and hard to protect, the king is the prize you must guard from your opponent.
The first time you play the game, you'll select a difficulty level somewhere between one and ten.
Practice patience. If you see a good move, take the time to look for a better one before you take your turn.
Take advantage of castling. In a single move to protect your king, you can move your king two spaces sideways and your rook to the space that the king skipped over. You can only do this if there are no pieces in between them, neither piece has moved in the game, and your opponent does not gain a more direct attack at the king as a result of the move. If castling is available to you, the square that you can move the king to will turn purple and then, when you click that square, your king and rook will move.
En passant. If a pawn is about to capture one of your pawns that hasn't moved, you may decide to move that pawn forward two squares. If you do, it's more exposed for one turn. During the next turn, your opponent can move to the square where your pawn is, or to the square behind that, and capture your pawn. After that one turn, your pawn is normally vulnerable again. Both armies' pawns are vulnerable this way.
Pawn promotion. If you advance a pawn all the way to the back row of your opponent's army, you can promote that pawn to rook, knight, bishop, or queen. This increases the number of powerful pieces in your army. Choosing the queen is usually the best strategic option.
You can adjust the difficulty level and other options in the Options dialog box.
Select the check boxes for any options you want to turn on, and then click OK.
If you need to finish a game later, just close the game and click Save. The next time you start a game, the game will ask you whether you want to continue your saved game. To do so, click Yes.

When you're in a public bathroom, the last thing you want to do is TOUCH ANYTHING. And apparently a lot of us go to great lengths to make sure we don't.
According to a new survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults, 64% of us use our foot to flush the toilet . . . 60% use a paper towel to touch the door handle . . . 37% use one to turn the faucet on and off . . . and 48% use our hip to open the door.
The study also looked at how often we wash our hands, and it shouldn't surprise you that women are better about it than men are. 74% of women said they ALWAYS wash up, compared to 60% of men.
And 38% of men said they frequently see other guys leave the bathroom without washing, compared to 25% of women.
But overall, NONE of us are great about it. 70% of the people surveyed admitted that they sometimes just RINSE their hands, and don't actually use soap.

ATLANTA (WXIA) - In the wake of the reelection of President Obama last week, the White House website has been flooded by a number of petition requests for the peaceful secession of at least 21 states - including Georgia -- from the union.
Through Wednesday morning, more than 27,000 people had signed the Georgia petition, including many in Central Georgia.
The petitions use the White House's "We The People" portal website, which allows individuals to craft petitions and collect signatures to obtain a formal response from the government within what the site calls "a timely fashion."
"If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the Administration and we will issue a response," says the instructions on the website.
Secession petitions have been filed from Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
Some of the petitions - notably the one from Texas - points to issues with the federal government, and how spending issues have not been brought under control. It compares that with the situation in Texas, where, it says, the state "maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world."
Petitions that are submitted to the site need at least 25,000 signatures within 30 days to become eligible for receiving a formal response from officials with the Obama Administration. As of Monday afternoon, the petition for the state of Texas has gained more than 25,300 signatures. That total was reached in less than three days.
The petition for the state of Georgia's secession has received about 4,800 signatures in two days.

Miley Cyrus' controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month has drawn hundreds of official complaints from outraged viewers.
The singer/actress took to the stage with Robin Thicke to perform his hit Blurred Lines, but her skimpy latex outfit and raunchy dance moves sparked a storm of controversy and overshadowed the ceremony.
It has now emerged that officials at America's broadcasting regulator, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), have received more than 150 complaints about the saucy show.
In documents obtained by Thesmokinggun.com, it is revealed many of the viewers were angry about Cyrus' suggestive dancing, with one complainant from Maryland branding the singer's performance, "crude, pornographic and absolutely shameful," adding, "Had I wanted my family to see a hooker perform a live sex show, I would have taken (them) to (Mexican border city) Tijuana."
Another viewer from Florida adds, "Miley Cyrus made multiple sexual gestures and was just purely disgusting… I cannot believe this was rated for kids 14 and up!"
Cyrus has blamed Internet trolls for creating unnecessary controversy over her raunchy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Cyrus now insists she felt frustrated with the Internet chatter in the days after the incident, insisting too many critics hide behind the anonymity of social media to lambast her online.
In an appearance on U.K. talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she says, "It really is nothing to do with me or what I did, people just like to rile each other up, it's just crazy… I think it takes a lot of courage to go out and do what I did and all the people that like to talk about it, they're sitting behind their computers, anonymously, and saying what they want to say.
"And I obviously say and do what I feel in front of everybody so I kind of expect the same respect back. If you're going to say something, say it to my face or say it with your name on it, don't say it behind my back and sit behind your computer."
The 20-year-old goes on to insist the pair did not deliberately set out to grab headlines at the VMAs, adding, "That was the one night you could really go for it, it is really about celebrating your video and even Robin's video, I mean what did you expect, if you look at our videos together you know we are not going to come out and do the hokey pokey … I didn't really think anything about it until the next morning when the world was going crazy about it."

Santa is coming to town
Posted 20 November 2011 - 06:38 PM
Made in ~ 5 hours. Santa face in sc, basic instance of creature in Sc, multiplied and remeshed under zbrush. Background construction and rendering under 3dcoat. Figure rendered in zb-BPR, combined and PostPro in Ps.
Hello earth people,
Santa Claus is coming to town, ding dong...
(I know... it wasn't cocacola that stabilized this sweet christmas figure of St Nicolas)

From the official site of cocacola
Before the 1931 introduction of the Coca-Cola Santa Claus created by artist Haddon Sundblom, the image of Santa ranged from big to small and fat to tall. Santa even appeared as an elf and looked a bit spooky
But reading this interesting article: http://www.snopes.co...ta/cocacola.asp
There're parallel universes allright, or better... they live!
St Nicolas and Christmas don't need rescuing, humanity desperately needs to look into its soul and find the strength. These days, more than ever.
BTW from a greek orthodox perspective:
St Nicolas is the St of seamen, in byzantine portraiture, he stands on see water, carries a boat. Indeed in lot of greek islands they use to decorate boat models instead of trees (not many trees on greek islands LOL)
St Basil of Caesaeria (the great) was sharing pies and money to the poor, so, in modern Greece, we call this cute red figure of santa St Basil and traditionally we're cooking sweet pies for the new year. (StBasil's Pies)
How many civilizations we count on this? Tell me.
I count folk stories with elves, Luther's tree, St Nicolas, St Basil, seamen and boats, travelers, english sweet pies, Istanbul pies, merchants, cocacola, but most of all, the warmth of these days

You're right Michalis,
I think that would be fun, and a good way for the community to learn and share workflow ideas. Perhaps a Sculpt challenges thread where different challenges could be added.
I would be interested.

I started another one, in Sculptris, not a santa of course, just doodling. Sculptris isn't fast after braking symmetry, even at ~700 k. But 3dcoat is. Imported without voxelizing, LC mode, no stretching ~1.5 M now. + a lot of vox for background.
A two passes 3dc render, I needed some lighting effects on background via Ps.
I may keep this method, sculptris tools are great, move tool surfmode, creese LC are even greater LOL.
A question to Andrew though. Why we can't import-drop a mesh directly in MV mode for painting? As in zbrush, before retopo and UVs. I can't understand it. Very useful for conceptual-illustrating art.
Like directly painting on voxels-surf mode.

All hard retopo job and some painting fixes in 3dc of course.

Out of the 116 million households in America, two-thirds of the nation's total income gains from 2002 to 2007 flowed to the top 1 percent of U.S. households (or 1.2 million). Meanwhile, they have been handed over $700 billion in tax breaks. Check out this website to see a live count of the cost.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, over 45 million Americans now use food stamps, and 6.7% of the U.S. population are living 50 percent or less below the official poverty level. That's 1 in 15 Americans. As a country, we must uphold our values. Should we continue to offer tax cuts for the top 1% in favor of cuts for social safety net programs?

MERIDIAN 541By Capt. Bill Pike
Home Sweet Home
The Meridian 541 takes interior furnishings and layout to a uniquely residential level.
What I saw at the top of the stairway pegged my practicality meter, but not in a good way. Over the years, I've come aboard any number of midrange cruisers with residential furniture in the saloon, much of it either unsecured to the underlying deck or secured in questionable ways. In the majority of cases, these attempts to add style and comfort to life afloat have served only to worry me, engendering as they do, visions of spring-loaded recliners bouncing off bulkheads as the winds pipe up or maybe even leaping overboard during an equinoctial gale.
My first glance told me I might be looking at the same sort of lash-up in the saloon of the new Meridian Yachts 541 Sedan. The furnishings there—two sofas, two end tables, a chair, and an ottoman—looked about as residential and worrisome as any showroom offering you'll find at Ethan Allen. Shapes were classically suburban, a styling statement much emphasized by Meridian's standard usage of supple, top-stitched Brisa Distressed Ultraleather. And squat, stained American cherry legs undergirded just about everything, lending a living room familiarity to the scene. But, while these details generated plenty of visual appeal, the presence of what seemed like an entire suite of unsecured, residential furniture threatened a real ruckus, at least in my opinion, should something break lose in a seaway.
Meridian's director of marketing, Matt Guilford, must have noticed the look of concern on my face. "This stuff isn't what you think, Bill," he said while kneeling down near the forward sofa. Once I'd knelt down myself, I could see what he was pointing at—a beefy, virtually invisible molded-fiberglass part that constituted the actual structure of the piece. The sofa was not a residential stand-alone at all—it only looked that way, primarily thanks to its shape, the top-stitched Brisa, and the slick addition of the aforementioned legs, which were for looks only.
"Amazing…really!" I commented, getting back up. In league with the saloon's optional cherry-hued plank flooring, its encompassing windows and windshield panels (fabricated from the largest pieces of tempered safety glass you can buy in the United States, according to Guilford), and its cozy table lamps (securely anchored to the Karadon-topped molded-fiberglass end tables), my test vessel's furnishings deceptively delivered all of the welcoming warmth of a waterfront home while simultaneously satisfying all possible seagoing concerns.
Further revelations arrived shortly. Once I'd descended the stairway to the bottom deck (with its three-stateroom, two-head arrangement), I began noticing additional residential highlights almost immediately. The full-beam master aft, for example, offered standing headroom of 6'5", a real queen-size island berth (not modified to fit in the boat), a shore-side mattress, and true, right-up-to-the-headboard walkaround access. Moreover, there was an en suite head with an ample shower stall and real ceramic tile underfoot, opening ports in both swoopy side windows for cross ventilation, a full-featured entertainment center, and (instead of a short sofa) an optional built-in desk and chair.
The forepeak VIP was similarly set up, offering walkaround access as well as a pillow-top innerspring mattress, plenty of ventilation (via a skylight as well as an opening hatch with OceanAir screens), and almost as many cedar-lined hanging lockers, drawers, and cabinets as the master. And the guest stateroom, just abaft the VIP and to starboard, promised an unusual level of comfort, with bunks that were each about three feet wide and therefore eminently snooze-worthy.
One remaining aspect of the 541's interior caught my eye as Guilford and I headed topside to crank the mains and take her for a test. Because I'd entered the boat in a rush to confirm my suspicions concerning the saloon's furniture, I'd breezed right past the galley and dinette area. So on the flip-flop, I slowed down and took a more appreciative look at both the spacious booth-style convertible dinette on the starboard side and the full-featured L-shape galley to port.
I found several especially engaging details here, including a Contoure microwave oven that's also grill-capable, dual-tier windows that virtually blast in natural light, an aft window that lowers electro-hydraulically to create a pass-through into the cockpit, and a Karadon-topped bar and bar stools. But I was especially struck with how Meridian so cleverly—and again, rather residentially—blends this vessel's outdoorsy cockpit living with a comfy interior and strategically positions the galley at the heart of the mixture in the process.
I thoroughly enjoyed easing the 541 away from her spot at the Miami Beach Marina via a superbly tweaked Cummins MerCruiser Zeus propulsion system. Seldom have I maneuvered a pod-type vessel that evinced such smooth responsiveness. Rotating the boat in front of her slip with the joystick, then cornering the fuel dock, and finally transiting the opening at the eastern end of the breakwater entailed absolutely no clutch clunk—I could neither hear nor feel any forward and reverse transitions as the pods did their thing. And I noted no maneuvering-related rocking motions either, despite the 541's lofty 24-foot bridge clearance. Super-smooth, proportional hydraulics, not simple mechanics, actuate Zeus transmissions, and the result is palpable.
Driving the 541 in the open Atlantic was almost as much fun as bopping around the marina. The average top speed I recorded was 34.6 mph, a rousing number considering the test boat's full load of fuel, water, and gear for a projected trip to the Bahamas. The captain's chair on the flying bridge was comfortable. My test boat's turning radius, well under three boat lengths by my estimation, was impressive. And, with the Zeus integrated tabs automatically handling trim, the running attitudes I measured were optimal (see "By the Numbers," this story), an attribute that produced excellent and unlimited visibility over the bow, even coming out of the hole.
Predictably perhaps, offshore performance was not what I was thinking about as I drove Meridian's 541 Sedan back to the marina though. Certainly, the big stylish cruiser was fast and fun to drive on the high seas and her dockside maneuverability was unmatched in terms of ease and smoothness. But my mind kept returning to those furnishings in the saloon: the pillow-top mattresses in the staterooms and the strategically positioned galley, complete with cockpit bar.
"Yup," I told Guilford as we eased back through the slot in at the end of the breakwater. "We're talkin' home sweet home on the water here, man. No doubt about it!"

2012 Video Music Awards
Venue: Staples Center
City: Los Angeles, CA
Date: September 6, 2012
Video of the Year: Rihanna f/ Calvin Harris "We Found Love"
2012 Video Music Awards Summary
The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards have come and gone. We know, we know, we're just as depressed as you are about it. Lucky for us, the show was filled with stellar performances, awesome awards, and fabulous fashion. We've got the whole thing cued up On Demand for you to watch over and over again (or, in the case of the One Direction performance, like a million times over). Want a rundown on some highlights from the show, broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept 6th? Let's recap.
Our night kicked off with a pre-show party packed with your favorite celebs. MTV's 'Teen Wolf' star Holland Roden served as our red carpet correspondent, getting the deets on what the superstars were wearing. Plus, Demi Lovato wowed the outdoor audience with a performance of 'Give Your Heart A Break' before accepting the Moonman for Best Video With A Message.
The performances kept on coming, with a soulful seranade from Frank Ocean and a scream-inducing set from One Direction. Drake brought his Young Money family on the stage with him to accept the Best Hip-Hop Video award, which was convenient for Lil Wayne, as he returned immediately after to perform 'Yuck' and 'No Worries' with 2 Chainz. Green Day got the crowd moshing with 'Let Yourself Go' and Wiz Khalifa announced he would be a proud papa to Amber Rose's growing baby bump. Alicia Keys and Best Female Video winner Nicki Minaj rocked out with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas for a performance of 'Girl On Fire' and Rihanna got Kevin Hart to scream like a true member of her navy when he announced 'We Found Love' as Video Of The Year . Last but not least, the country queen Taylor Swift took us out with a super cute performance of her record breaking hit 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' The two hour show flew by far too fast but, lucky for us, we have All Access Live clips and Backstage Moments photos to keep us riding the VMA high for a little longer.
How will MTV top eight super sweet performances, a slew of awesome awards, and all of the rad online extras like Twitter Tracker and GIF It? Guess we'll have to tune in next year to find out. See you in 2013, Moonman lovers!
