Axe pit fighter. best paragon path ever.
Nooo. Scion of Arkhosia! Or maybe Warforged Juggernaut. Both looked really appealing.
I saw Axe Pit Fighter, if I remember right. But again, our group never got to high enough level to try the Paragon. It looked kinda fun, but I don't think I'd take it myself.
Of all the little sketches, this is the only one I have to show for the work. :/ The only good one.
Ugh. Human faces. . .
Two things: One, the eyes. I am aware they are a bit crooked and all around look like shhhhhhhh— well, they look bad. Two, Ben has a cowlick. And it made a weird ledge effect in the reference shot. Was hard to work with.
I think the ink looks cleaner, at least. . . At least that's a plus, right? :S?
Sorry for the poor one this week.
And who exactly is this Ben? ._.
Lawl. Either way, I think the sketch/outline looks great. The only little flaw would probably the alignment of the eyes (no, not like chaotic neutral and shit), like you mentioned. Other than that, I think everything looks pretty neat. :)
Ben is one of my best friends. I should have probably explained that. My bad.
A long while ago, I went around to some of my closest friends, asking if I may use a picture off their Facebook pages to use as a reference. And Ben was the first one I attempted, after all this time.
Yeah, those eyes are bothering me. D: I really wish the ink wasn't down, so I could go fix it. :(
White-out :D Haha other than the eyes looks generally good. The neck is kind of bugging me, seems a tad to "fat". Other than that I'd say good job! I'm no good with human faces either.
Oh snap! White-out! I forgot all about that stuff. I may have to go find some. . . If it leaves a weird mark in the scan, I suppose I can edit it out with Photoshop. Thanks for that reminder.
And duly noted on his neck. I think I see what you mean. Thanks.
The eyes don't actually bother me at all. The face has good shape and you captured the expression well.
The things that do kind of bother me are:
The ear either looks too large or like it's drawn at a skewed angle. Not sure which, and maybe Ben was just born with big ears.
The lack of any definition of a shoulder or collar on our right (his left). It seems odd that we wouldn't see anything at all through the shirt.
The jaw line on the right. It looks too thick for how defined I would expect that line to be, and the single-direction cross hatching looks kind of awkward. I would cross-hatch on the right side of his neck if you're going to cross hatch under his chin, as it makes his neck look very flat in comparison.
Besides those point I actually like it a good deal. The shading on his necklace is really nice, and you captured his hair fairly well (I imagine), and I always have a hell of a time with hair.
@The ear: Oops! I didn't catch that one. I see exactly what you mean, though. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
@The shoulder: Yeah, I admit it. I slacked a bit. D: His shirt was black, but I know that's no excuse — I should have put some sort of definition there. Duly noted.
@Jaw line: Yeah, I'm not sure what I was doing there, to be honest. But I agree with what you've said. I think I did the line thick to try and make his chin have some sort of depth, but I don't think it worked like I wanted to in hindsight. As for the hatching. . . I think it might be a minor detail to rescan for, but it's definitely noted for future reference. Thank you.
And glad you (and the others, of course!) like it. I do like how the necklace came out. I wasn't sure on the hair, but if it's acceptable to others, I suppose I can be happy with it. My roommate told me a long time ago that the best way to do hair is to just be "random" with the edge, so I had to mix that along with the reference shot and how his hair went there. So it's not entirely accurate, but I think it serves the purpose well enough for learning.
My go-to strategy for hair is to sketch in where I think it should be at first, then draw in random lines ~1/2"-1" above that, since I always imagine hair sitting flatter than it ever does.
Hmm. . . That seems like a pretty good idea. I may have to steal that thought. :P
Also, Ben is using the picture as his profile picture. So, I suppose that's a pretty big thumbs up on doing well, if the friend I tried to draw likes it enough to use a replica of him in place of a real picture. Lol. Somewhat unexpected and frightening, if not flattering.
Anyway good pictures.
That's what they're there for — for if you don't have the patience to read. (Just realized the formatting was broken in the first post. So that's fixed now.)
And thank you.
Y'know what? Psh. Maybe I can post the chalk drawing and a new thing next Sunday. I really wanna share this, because I'm pretty proud of it, silly/weird as it may be.
Actual size is 7 feet by 5 feet. Pastel, charcoal, pencil on newsprint. Photo quality is not the greatest, I'm aware, but best we could get, since I had to ask a NSCAD staff member for help. This was done about a month ago.
No offense meant towards Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son. His was an inspiration for this.
References were used for the Komodo and the human, but my professor let us go crazy and do what felt right, even if it was the imagination running it. I think if I were to redo this, though, I'd like to see how it comes out if I stick to accuracy. While I'm very happy with the result, it would be cool to see the difference, or if it becomes stronger.
Let me know if this needs a direct link. I realize it's gore or whatever, but I don't think it's really that bad. But if a moderator or you all feel it's necessary, I will understand.
Missing bones.
Other than that… an interesting composition and piece, to say the least.
Missing bones? You mean, from the human figure? Those would be interesting to add in, I think. Left them out to try and keep it a bit simpler, but I could see them working!
And only "to say the least"? D: Nothing else? Maybe it's because it's weird, but that seems to be what everyone has said about it. It's making me concerned — does that mean there's nothing good about it, or I messed up, or. . .? I'm really curious. I mean no offense, of course; everyone's welcome to their own opinion. I just get concerned when I hear that phrase so much on the same piece.
I think overall it is a good piece. When I mean "to say the least", that is, in the least amount of words I could think of.
I think some of the things you might want to work on is to make the image darker and the feel scarier. It is indeed an interesting piece to think of, and I think the idea and style is different from the sketching and line work you have been doing and showcasing.
I quite like it. It feels very "book art cover" ish.
I suppose it really depends on what you want to go with this piece. Realism would mean the need for greater detail into bones and blood, but the style like what it is now isn't bad either.
When I read the title of the piece, I was both confused and had this expectation. The piece definitely exceeded what I expected.
I suppose it is one of those pictures that somehow, you cannot describe it after looking at it. That's how it is for me.
Edit: You better finish NaNo this year. !!!
Ah, phew! Now I understand you. My bad on the confusion there.
I have to agree with you on the darker. Duly noted for future projects like this, or if I go back and redo it in the future. I didn't think of it as book cover art, but it could lend itself to that pretty well, what with a bit of space below the feet. (Now, the question is would people be more interested or simply be "weirded out" at seeing a book with that cover? Lol.)
I think I know what you mean by being unable to describe. I know during critique, my classmates were a bit hesitant on where to go, so we kind of got nowhere with it. But maybe if they were thinking the same way you were, then I can calm my nerves a bit. Haha.
(Ooooh, you sneaky ninja-edit-er! I'll try! D: I really need to think of something exciting, though, to write that will outweigh my feelings about what I'm writing. I can start planning, but I always get so nervous. :< I get so hung up and worried that my descriptions are terrible, that I derail so badly.)
I think I know what you mean by being unable to describe.
I think I know what you mean by being unable to describe.
It's easy to describe a painting of a waterfall, or something like that. It is possible to describe the impact of the curves of photography, or the composition or so on.
What you have is just something that is out of the norms and just doesn't fit into preconceived and perceived expectations. There are things that can be improved, but I think by "improving" it, you might run into making it fit into normality expectations. I cannot tell if that is a good thing, but I can tell you that it is hard for me to describe exactly how I feel after seeing the piece since, honestly, I really don't know how to feel. It is aesthetically pleasing and it is a nice piece to look at, but beyond that I'm lost for words.
I can't tell if it is a good or bad thing, but take heart that it is definitely not negative. (Er, to make myself clearer, by "good or bad", I literally mean good or bad. But whatever I feel, I can tell you it is not against the artwork, so it's not "negative". Ugh need to expand vocabulary)
Edit: As I read this again, I realise that I'm not making sense. Oh well. T_T

Ok, this is how I did JulNo.
I planned out a story, with ideas, themes, characters, and even the ending and where to go and head to for the ending.
3 days before JulNo, I wrote like a 500 word character study creative piece because I was bored.
For JulNo, I expanded the 500 word piece into a 50k word novel that I'm not even done with, and while I'm not overly happy with the piece, I'm more content and less disturbed by the quality of it than I am with NaNo. I think, compared to NaNo and my previous work of 50k words that I trashed, I might actually want to complete this JulNo, because I have an end and know roughly how I want to get there.
Sometimes that inner "no this writing sucks" needs to be silenced, but I suppose you just need to keep telling yourself that the point is to write, not to make an excellent piece.
Use your strengths to your advantage. If you really love art, you can write about your experience as an artist and the type of work you do, then perhaps tie it in with a general theme that you will do in the same time period. For example, if you want to spend NaNo November looking at flowers and drawing them, tie them in to your story. It would make it a lot more interesting and you might actually get something that is more coherent and complete.
I think what I learnt most from NaNo is really to just enjoy the writing and work towards the 50k. Reaching the 50k is not really the point, but at least have a goal, even if it is ludicrous. JulNo 50k feels quite "meh" to me now, since it's not really much of an achievement compared to NaNo last year, and I really want to target higher for NaNo, but I have exams. T_T

Nono, it's making a bit of sense. I don't fault you for it.
If it's hard to put into words, I don't mind that so much, now that I know. I can be happy with "aesthetically pleasing", in that instance. It's the phase where I'm not sure if there's more that the person wants to say where I get nervous. But once I'm told they're just unsure or unable to put what they feel into words, then I don't mind so much.
If that makes sense. Hooray for conversations of confusion~
(NaNo ideas)
Oooh, there's a good idea. That 500 word character study might help. I've fumbled with ideas and themes and stuff, but once I get down to writing, I always end up winging the descriptions of the characters, or forgetting some tidbit that I meant to mention earlier. I think if I copy that idea, it might make that a little bit more streamlined.
The strengths to advantage idea is nice, but I'm not sure how to approach that. I see what you mean, of course, but I think my problem is what I could do on paper, I would find to be dull in writing. I've always wanted to write some kind of fantasy piece, like the Eberron novels I've read. I'll see if I can incorporate that, though, into something. Maybe try to not think of the NaNo as needing some kind of huge storyline, but instead just drawing a person each day and then writing about that twisted into a fantasy setting (like a marketplace or whatever) would be better for me. . . Which completely invalidates the first sentence of this paragraph, but I suppose rambling while typing will do that.
I'll do my best this November to silence that evil little voice. I realize each time I've entered the contests, I always fall so short. I will do my best this time. Heh.
And now, I'm off to go doodle thumbnails and bust out some chalk. Be back later, where I'll try to answer other comments/posts if I can, and if there are any.

Don't describe what you see, but describe what you feel. What are the implications?
If you find describing images boring, then avoid it. Describe feelings. Describe senses that are independent of sight. Touch. Sound. It would be really interesting to read a novel where the sense of sight is not used once.

agreed, love what you said
This might be scrapped by me on DeviantART. . . But I'll still share it here.
I want to apologize that this is more classwork. My attention has been full blast on classes, because now that the second half of the summer semester is beginning to wind down, the classes are getting a little bit tougher. I apologize in advance if this gets in the way of me providing something good for you all to use, if you choose to do so.
Street Art was the theme for last week's assignment. I drew a T-Rex, because I wanted people who walk their dogs on my street to smile a bit more. Our driveway slants away from us, so I apologize for the poor shot.
Chalk on asphalt/concrete. 4 hours of work. About 5 and a half feet wide by 6 and a half feet tall.
I will try to provide something better next Sunday. Have an idea after having a song stuck in my head for the past 4 days. . . Hums the Chocobo theme.
Shot of the face, because I like it:
Wouldn't it suck if it rained halfway through? :P
Hmm 10 packs of Chalk later = WIN :)
haha that is amazing deriaz! I can't even say it better than that…

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – July 31, 2012 – The strong leadership of Ducks Unlimited de Mexico (DUMAC) was highlighted at a recent meeting of its board of directors as the organization upgraded the title of Eduardo Carrera, staff director of DUMAC, to national executive director and chief executive officer.
Based in Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo Leon, DUMAC is the sister organization to Ducks Unlimited Inc. charged with carrying out waterfowl and wetland habitat conservation work in Mexico, a prime wintering destination for many North American waterfowl such as blue-winged teal, pintails and Pacific black brant. DUMAC was established in 1974, and working with Ducks Unlimited Inc. and Ducks Unlimited Canada, plays a key role in DU's continent-wide approach to conservation of a waterfowl resource that ranges from Alaska's North Slope and the Arctic Sea to the southern tip of Mexico and beyond.
"Eduardo Carrera's leadership has helped DUMAC grow into an internationally recognized leader of wetlands and waterfowl conservation in Mexico," said John Tomke, president of DUMAC's board of directors. "With a very lean staff, Carrera and DUMAC are doing amazing things, including generating foundational science, such as an inventory and classification of wetland habitats throughout the country, and monitoring landscape change in key areas for waterfowl. Armed with this kind of data, DUMAC then implements on-the-ground conservation projects such as pioneering mangrove restoration demonstration projects that are providing a model for governmental and non-governmental organizations."
Rogers Hoyt Jr., DUMAC vice president, praised Carrera, saying, "The board could not be more proud of Eduardo and what he has done and continues to do in building the effectiveness and reputation of DUMAC. The board was unanimous and enthusiastic in its reaffirmation of his leadership with the upgrading of his title to national executive director and chief executive officer."
"I am happy to know that the board is pleased with DUMAC's work, and am personally honored to receive this recognition," Carrera said when he was notified of his title change. "This expression of confidence is not just rewarding to me, however; it is a gratifying recognition of the hard work of DUMAC's small, but very competent and productive, staff."
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, DU is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, with special events, projects and promotions across the continent. Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Coroner IDs suicide victim at Mercyhurst University as Clearfield County man (Updated: 11:20 a.m.)
A Clearfield County man found dead on the Mercyhurst University campus this morning died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook said.
Cook ruled the death of Christopher Swanson, 41, as a suicide. Cook said Swanson drove from his home to Mercyhurst, and he estimated that the shooting probably occurred sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. today.
Swanson was found in front of the fountain, near the Mary Garden, outside of Old Main on the East 38th Street campus.
Erie police are investigating the suicide. They were called to the campus at about 7:15 a.m.
College President Tom Gamble said in a statement released to the university community this morning that the individual found dead was "unrelated to Mercyhurst University."
Gamble said he confirmed with police that there is no evidence of any danger to the Mercyhurst community resulting from the incident.
"Our prayers are with the deceased and his family. Counseling and prayer services will be arranged soon. Please remain calm and respectful," Gamble wrote in the statement.

Grand Theft Auto V Trailer Puts Franchise Back Behind the Wheel
In an industry always clamoring to create epic, movie-like experiences, Rockstar Games has always had a rare touch for cinematic mystery and humor.
The publisher and developer of acclaimed franchises like Max Payne, Red Dead Redemption, and, of course, Grand Theft Auto brought this cinematic flair in full force today with a new trailer for the coming Grand Theft Auto V, the first major console installment in the series since 2008.
The first trailer, released more than a year ago, served mostly to tease out the city—a mixture of Los Angeles and Southern California—that Rockstar had chosen for GTA V's inspiration.
The new trailer focuses on the game's three new protagonists who were revealed last week in a cover article in Game Informer. The trio consists of Michael, a veteran criminal now retired to become a full-time family man; Franklin, an auto repo man; and Trevor, a violent psychopath in the Quentin Tarantino tradition. In a first for the popular and controversial open-world game series, players will be able to switch between the three characters throughout the game's story missions. Each character will have unique abilities and strengths that Rockstar promises will allow players to pull off more elaborate action sequences than the standard run-and-gun behavior that's epitomized the series since GTA III.
Set to Stevie Wonder's 1987 hit "Skeletons," the trailer shows off what fans have come to expect from the series: high-speed vehicle chases. But more reassuring for long-time followers will be the dark and ironic humor shared between the three protagonists, who joke and pat each other on the back even while indulging in acts of ultraviolence.
Rockstar recently announced that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in spring 2013, and the game is already available to pre-order.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- For the second consecutive spring, Matt Cain got a rude welcome to the mound at Scottsdale Stadium.
Cain had to throw his glove up during live batting practice Monday to avoid getting hit by Pablo Sandoval's line drive. During a similar session a year ago, Cain took a hard-hit comebacker by Hector Sanchez off his calf.
The season that followed worked out pretty well for the right-hander: Cain received a wealthy contract extension at the end of the spring, threw a perfect game in June, started the All-Star game in July and took the ball for a World Series clincher in October.
On Monday, as a result of his career year and many strong ones before that, Cain was named the Giants' opening day starter on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 1.
"He sets the bar," general manager Brian Sabean said. "He's so consistent from start to start, whether he's got shutout stuff or not."
Cain's consistency led to a career-high 16 wins and a 2.79 ERA, his lowest mark in a full season. But it is another number that most impressed Sabean. Counting the postseason, Cain threw 2491/3 innings. He conceded that he was tired by the time he faced the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 of the World Series but said it was a "normal tired."
"It's tired because it's tired," he said. "It's not like anything is overly tired. There's nothing to think about it. It's the normal end-of-the-year tired."
Even a worn-down Cain was plenty effective in October. He started in must-win situations against the Cincinnati Reds (Game 5) and the St. Louis Cardinals (Game 7). The Giants won both, along with Cain's final start of the season, Game 4 of the World Series.
Cain, 28, said he came into camp this year fresh and is as fit as ever, even with a $112 million contract extension furnishing his bank accounts.
"You go about it the same way," Cain said. "You try to listen to your body. If it feels good, you just try to keep going through it and you try not to overdo anything. I don't really worry about (all the innings). Sometimes I think everybody else puts more of an emphasis on it.
"We're trained to go out here and do our job and pitch as much as we can."
Few have done that better in recent years than Cain, and after several close calls in his eight seasons, he is finally starting on opening day. The decision ends Tim Lincecum's four-year run as the opening day starter, a streak that started after two season openers for Barry Zito.
Speaking to reporters before manager Bruce Bochy announced his decision, Cain played it coy, saying it would be "a huge honor" if he were to be chosen.
"Sometimes you have to almost think of it as a normal start, but it's not," he said. "You're getting the first one. You definitely are a little more amped up about it."
As if the honor wasn't big enough, Cain will be the first Giant to get a crack at the new-look, free-spending Dodgers. Los Angeles has announced Clayton Kershaw as its starter for the opener at Dodger Stadium, setting up a marquee matchup to begin what promises to be an exciting season for one of the best rivalries in sports.
"I can think of a lot of better ways (to start) than having to face Matt Cain on opening day," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said, smiling. "But they've got to go against Kershaw. It'll be an exciting day."
Cain is also in line to start April 7, the day of the ring ceremony. Bochy wouldn't reveal the order of the rest of the rotation but flashed a wry smile when asked who will start the home opener April 5 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"We're bringing Cain back on early rest," he joked.
"I'm willing to listen and willing to talk," Torre said. "If something makes sense, we'll take it seriously. But my stance has not changed or softened."

Re: "Stop talking about the war on women," by Karen Cook, letters, Nov. 1
War on women is not about having their health care paid for. It's about the recent sheer influx of bills being put forth and passed regulating women's personal health decisions. Getting past the inequality in pay and opportunities, women's health costs being higher, and discrimination; the base of the war on women is government and policy. You can't argue with the data. 1100 provisions were introduced in 2011 concerning women's health and reproductive rights, 135 passed, 92 limited abortion. For some perspective, from 1985 to 2009 the yearly average number of bills passed limiting abortion was about 15. There are no bills concerning men's health. Get your facts straight, it's always been illegal for the funding that went to women's health services to go to abortions. What really grinds my gears is when people say "Oh that's not a thing, I haven't experienced that." Well I guess if you haven't been raped, then it's not real. Let me tell you, being a female mechanic in a male dominated industry for a decade, the inequality, lack of opportunities and discrimination is very real! It affects me in the biggest ways. It's my livelihood. It's my freedom. Women are 40 percent of the world's workforce but hold 1 percent of the wealth. Sixty-four percent of women workers earn minimum wage. Less than 4 in 100 fortune 500 CEO's are women. Though it's proven women in the workplace are more ethical. 1 in 265 job sectors women make more than men, and only 2 percent more at that, men make more in the rest. Women make 77 cents to the dollar that men make. Equality of pay, health care and opportunity is freedom. It is my right! But I guess since you've never experienced any of that it's not real.

When Warriors owner Joe Lacob said he would trade point guard Stephen Curry -- or anyone else on the club, for that matter -- if it helped the team, those comments created a bit of a firestorm.
It contradicted the popular belief that Curry was untouchable. Suddenly, a trade involving Curry became a hot topic on national sports shows, sports talk radio, the blogosphere and fan forums.
"It's a bit of a shock, because you feel like you're doing everything else you were supposed to be doing," Curry said Sunday. "Especially since I've never been in a situation where me changing teams or being traded would be an option, it's kind of like a weird thing to think about. But they've been straightforward about what they see in us and it's all been positive for me, so I don't have any problem brushing that off."
If you call 66 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds over two games brushing it off, then Curry indeed dusted the rumors off his shoulder. He led a fourth-quarter comeback in Friday's win over Sacramento. He almost did again Saturday against the Clippers in Los Angeles with backcourt mate Monta Ellis limited by a sore ankle.
Sounds like someone was motivated by his name and the word trade being used in the same sentence. Sounds like someone was bent on reminding everyone why he was once deemed untouchable.
"If anything," Curry said, "it was the result of me reminding myself. I'm my biggest critic. I just play the game and don't worry about expectations except the ones I put on myself."
Most expectations for Curry entering this season were astronomical based on the second half of last season, when he nearly stole Rookie of the Year honors from Sacramento guard Tyreke Evans.
But this season, Curry has struggled at times. Turnovers, poor defense and fouls have led to some rough stretches, to him being benched during key fourth-quarter moments, and to people questioning his potential.
Coach Keith Smart said Curry's struggles have been a result of his inexperience and occasionally being passive. Playing alongside Monta Ellis, David Lee and Dorell Wright also has Curry more concerned with running plays and getting others their shots.
Last season, when surrounded mostly by reserves with many of his teammates injured, Curry was the playmaker constantly putting pressure on the defense. The last two games, he's gotten back to that.
"I just think it's his competitive nature," Smart said. "He's realizing he is valuable and he's got to get his level of game play up. He was looking for his shot a little more. I think he needs to do that more than trying to look to pass to everyone."
The reality, however, is the Warriors may have to trade one of their guards. Lacob and general manager Larry Riley have consistently said they want to upgrade the talent and add a difference maker. Ellis and Curry are the Warriors' hottest commodities, with Curry probably being more attractive because he's younger than Ellis and isn't owed $33 million over the next three years.
Plus, many still question whether two 6-foot-3, 180-pound guards can win at a high level as a backcourt.
For Ellis and Curry to succeed as a tandem, it will probably require Curry to continue playing as he did in the last two games. The Warriors need him to be the aggressive, crafty, shooting point guard he was against the Sacramento Kings and Clippers.
"I feel like he's back healthy now and I feel like he's continuing to be aggressive," Lee said. "That's a mark that he's got his confidence."

MIAMI -- The Warriors took down the two-time defending champion Miami Heat on their home court Thursday, delivering a 123-114 win.
The most telling aspect about the Warriors' victory might be their reaction: They feel they belong in the discussion among the NBA's top teams, and this was simply another chance to showcase it.
"Obviously we know who we're playing against and how tough it is to win here," said guard Stephen Curry, who dazzled with another All-Star type performance of 36 points and 12 assists.
"But it's more about continuing our performance that we've put on the last two weeks," he said. "That's our mentality, not circling games because of who we're playing, because we feel like if we play the way we're supposed to, we're going to be in every game and have a chance to win it."
The Warriors (21-13) have won seven in a row, their longest streak since winning eight straight in 2005.
This is the second straight season the Warriors have come into American Airlines Arena on a long road trip and took down the defending champions. It's the Heat's first regular-season home loss to a Western Conference team since that Dec. 12, 2012, win by Golden State, snapping a 15-game winning streak as a sellout crowd of 20,350 watched.
"They played a heck of a game, they deserved to win this one," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of the Warriors. "When they needed to make pivotal plays during the course of the game, they made the plays and we didn't."
LeBron James led Miami (24-8) with 26 points but committed eight turnovers. Golden State coach Mark Jackson wouldn't take credit for his team forcing James into an uncharacteristically sloppy night.
"You don't take credit for defense against LeBron, because against the same defense he can get 50," Jackson said.
Curry hit eight 3-pointers and the Warriors shot 15 of 29 from beyond the arc. They nailed 56.1 percent from the field after making 15 of 19 (78.9 percent) in the first quarter, including 5 of 6 from downtown.
"We started the game off very strong, and were just happy we were able to sustain it the entire game, because as we know, they're a championship-level team that's going to make plays down the stretch," David Lee said.
Lee was the perfect complement to the red-hot shooting of Curry. Lee scored 32 points on 13-of-17 shooting and pulled down 14 rebounds. It's the second time this year Curry and Lee have gone for 30/10 on the same night.
Lee, like Curry, refused to put any extra stock in beating the champs.
"It keeps the ball rolling," Lee said. "Any time you play the champions like this it's a good measuring point for you, and tonight was no exception. I think this is just another game, but I'm happy the way our team responded to playing a great team on the road. We have a lot of respect for those guys."
Curry definitely was the showstopper. He had 22 points in the second half, and as the game wore on the crowd buzzed when he lined up for a shot.
"Curry was spectacular," Jackson said. "If he doesn't make the All-Star team, I might retire."
"One of the best shooters this NBA will see," James said of Curry. "I mean, if you can find a better shooter than him right now, especially with the way he handles the ball -- and the light that he has, it's more than green, it's fluorescent -- you just hope that he misses."
The Warriors led by 15 in the third quarter but Miami pulled with four points with 4:28 left in the game. The lead was six points when James missed two free throws and Curry answered by nailing a 3. Within a flash, Golden State had a 13-point lead, and the game was in the bag.

SONOMA -- A couple of women were Forces to be reckoned with Friday at the NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
First, Courtney Force finished the second qualifying round in the Funny Car division with its fastest elapsed time of 4.045 seconds.
Then Brittany Force, Courtney's sister, posted the fastest time in the Top Fuel qualifying races Friday (3.762).
As Courtney stepped away from the microphone after talking to the media, she received a high five from Brittany.
"It's really exciting to go Number One, especially with Courtney next to me. We did that back in Topeka, and it was awesome," said Brittany, referring to the NHRA Kansas Nationals in May. "I was pumped, I was excited."
Courtney ended up winning in Topeka.
"It's definitely exciting to see it," Courtney said about the No. 1 qualifying position. "I'm hoping we can hold onto it like we did in Topeka. It's exciting to see my sister top the Top Fuel field."
The sisters' hometown is Yorba Linda, so they enjoy racing in California.
"I love coming out here. I'm a California girl," Courtney said.
The top 12 quickest drivers in each division Friday are not locked into positions in the final elimination races Sunday. They still have to race in Saturday's qualifying races.
With the sun beating down on the Sonoma Raceway track Friday, it figured that the second qualifying runs in the early evening would be faster than the first-round qualifying runs in early afternoon.
That was the case for a number of drivers, and the hope for cooler weather Saturday had Jason Line looking forward.
Line, who produced the No. 1 time in Friday's Pro Stock qualifying races (6.550), is sure that the times will be faster Saturday. Gates open at 7 a.m., Sportsman Eliminations start at 8:15 a.m., and the Pro Stock Bike Battle begins at 12:45 p.m. The third round of Pro Stock qualifying starts at 12:55, followed by Funny Car and Top Fuel qualifying at 1:30.
"It won't hold," said Line, referring to his time. "Everybody will be faster tomorrow, that's for sure. ... We definitely will be faster tomorrow, but so will everybody else."
During the first qualifying round of Top Fuel in late afternoon, it was announced that the temperature on the concrete at Sonoma Raceway was 120 degrees.
Line was only 13th after his first qualifying run as an eyelid off his battery cable snapped. But his second run was .002 faster than the best time of Shane Gray.
John Hall held the top qualifying spot in Pro Stock Motorcycles with a second-round run of 6.951 seconds with a speed of 191.54 mph. Jerry Savoie (6.953) was second.
"I hope it holds. It was slick in the first round," he said. "I've been running so bad lately, anything, any kind of win in qualifying excites me."
Five drivers broke 3.800 seconds in Top Fuel qualifying. Besides Brittany Force, Doug Kalitta (3.791), Tony Schumacher (3.793), Antron Brown (3.796) and Richie Crampton (3.799) also topped that mark.
Eight drivers were bunched together in Funny Car qualifying. There was only .053 seconds between Force and Del Worsham, who had the eighth-fastest qualifying time in the division Friday (4.098).
Seven Pro Stock drivers were able to post times under 6.600 in Friday's races. Besides Line and Gray, Allen Johnson (6.558), Greg Anderson (6.562), Dave Connolly (6.564), Jeg Coughlin Jr. (6.574) and Jonathan Gray (6.593) all broke 6.600.

Tony Robbins: Finish Line Offers Branding Secrets
Filed under: Education, Fun, The ASI Show
As Tony Robbins winds down a day in which he shared eight full hours of motivation and inspiration with The ASI Show Chicago audience, he focused on the importance of branding. "If you're really a great brand, people start using your name to explain the category," Robbins said in the last hour of his presentation. "That's when you own a market. A commodity becomes not a commodity when you've successfully branded your company or your product."
It was that message that Robbins hammered home toward the end of a day of dancing, jumping, self-revelations, and inspiration. "To effectively brand yourself and your company, you have to do so much more than anybody else does that you dwarf them," Robbins said. "Every person in this room could do it. You have to outwork people to build your brand."
To enforce that, he told a story of a guy in Encino, CA, who was struggling to make it as a real estate agent. He was 21 years old and not offering anything special or different than other established agents were offering in the area. And, in his first year of business, he didn't sell a single home. Then he saw a game-changing opportunity. There was a six-week long trash strike in Encino, and the trash was piling up on street corners, and owners of plush homes were getting antsy. This guy then hired a company to pick up all the trash – at great expense. "He couldn't afford it, but he cared about the community, and wanted to build his company," Robbins said.
He didn't advertise the effort, but dumbfounded and happy home-owners began to find out that he was behind it. His phone started to ring off the hook, as locals offered to pay him back. He wouldn't accept their payments, but he told them to think of him the next time they were looking to buy or sell a home. "In the next seven years, the guy made $2.8 million in commissions," Robbins said. "There wasn't a single home sold in Encino that didn't go through him. What can you do that's different and you can build around? What do you want to be known for? Why should clients do business with you versus anyone else? Go answer these questions now, and you'll be successful."
Tony Robbins: The Three Pillars of Success
Filed under: Fun, General, The ASI Show
Nicole – fitness and dance enthusiast here. So, after a bass-heavy impassioned flurry of club music that had attendees grooving together in groups of three and five, even on top of chairs with arms in the air after an emotional level, Tony Robbins took things back down a notch to talk about how to succeed in an area attendees want to improve.
"What's an area you feel really strongly about?" Robbins asked the crowd. "Say, 'I'm a master of whatever it is' – that's where your focus goes, and the energy flows." The point is that if you're masterful or successful in one area, you've got all three "pillars of success" in place. If there's an area you're not successful, you're probably missing at least one or two of Robbins' pillars.
Time to drill down. Robbins explained the first pillar: First, get laser-focused on that area – name it, be clear about what you want, and define compelling reasons for wanting to achieve it. With his typical bombast, Robbins, yelled, "If you want to lose 25 pounds, say why you want to do it – you want to rip off your shirt and say, 'Look at me!'
Next, after you really know what you want and are motivated to go after it, get the best strategies, mentor, tools, map, coaching, to achieve the results you want. "I wanted more energy at one point, so I found like the greatest amateur athlete, this guy who ran 1,000 miles in 11 days," said Robbins, who says that his "guru" learned how to do this from a South American Indian tribe that as a group annually runs 76 miles in a day. "So, he taught me the strategies. I got a play by play what he did, and I got more energy. In the area you want to improve you haven't found the cutting edge. You need to go make that your drive."
Finally, kick yourself into action. "Unlock and unleash. Take massive action. Achieve, succeed, contribute and celebrate," said Robbins, who said that here you might start feeling conflicts like, "I want to make everyone happy but I want to always tell the truth." How do you solve this conflict? "You'll keep taking steps back or you'll just give up," he said. Robbins said to resolve these conflicts, you need to put yourself into a better state, which is a theme he's been driving home all day – that is, remember what your mental and physical states were when you succeeded in a truly spectacular way.
"Look, what it comes down to a lot of the time is accepting what you're afraid of," Robbins said. "Courage is when you're scared shitless and you do something anyway."

Tony Robbins: The Formula for Suffering
Filed under: Fun, General, The ASI Show
Michele here, appropriately covering the portion of Tony Robbins' presentation that has to do with getting past negativity and self-sabotage. I get it because my default attitude is snark, misanthropy and nihilism. According to Robbins, people like me have "life conditions that do not match their blueprint." Meaning, one's life's conditions are not aligned with their expectations. Bring on the karmic cleanse and attitude adjustment, Mr. Robbins!
One attendee bravely stood and announced to the crowd of hundreds, at Robbins' urging, where her main pain point resides:
"I'm unhappy with my weight," she said.
"Why?," Robbins asked.
"Because I'm fat," she said matter of factly and to the howls and applause of the audience.
Robbins maintains that progress in life is the key to happiness and that we "grow or die." "You need to change the filter of your life and your perspective from what's missing in your life and focus on what you have."
Pain, Robbins says, provides three choices:
"Sometimes not getting what you want is how the universe makes things work out," Robbins says. "Without making mistakes, there's no growth." (Side note: It's amusing, incidentally, that Tony Robbins is not unfamiliar with "working blue," and peppers his speech with colorful cursing akin to a sailor on shore leave… He's sassy!)
Learned helplessness breeds the "Three Ps," Robbins noted: "If your problem involves Permanence, Pervasiveness and is Personal it can be difficult, but it's not insurmountable. Changing situations and story telling alters your life condition and things will improve."
Robbins also said that if one wants freedom in their life, they should expand their blueprint. "You can't control relationships, but you can alter your blueprint" and manage expectations.
And as I'm ready to sign off and turn over the blog for the next hour to my colleague Nicole Rollender, Tony Robbins – who always seems a little too "evangelical" and rah-rah – won me over with this missive: "Are you unhappy in life? Get over it, dipshit." Rock on, you crazy giant.
Tony Robbins: A Blueprint For Happiness
Filed under: Education, Fun, The ASI Show
How would you describe life? Is it fun? Is it exciting? Is it completely, utterly lousy? Understanding how you feel about life AND how your customers feel about their lives can actually help you sell to them more effectively. "You can determine how people look at things very quickly, even in a few moments," said Robbins. "To influence another human being, you must know what already influences them."
The first step to improving business relationships, Robbins believes, is to figure out what makes YOU happy. If your answer is money, your happiness probably won't last. "In 2006, at the highest financial level that we've seen recently, studies showed people were the most unhappy," Robbins said. "When I go around and talk to people, my goal is to help them have a life that's fulfilling. If you're not happy in your life, this is all a waste of time."
So what then is a formula to happiness? "Happiness is when your blueprint or core expectations in life match your present conditions," Robbins said. "The formula for unhappiness is when your life conditions do not equal your blueprint. If you're massively off of it, you're going to be miserable. If you're unhappy, you also tend to believe change is out of your control."
When you determine the triggers of personal happiness, you then can turn your attention to making customers happy, Robbins said.
Tony Robbins: Hugs and Kisses Aplenty
Filed under: Education, Fun, The ASI Show
Some people buy from you just because you put them in a better state by being around you. Tony Robbins provided proof of this concept when he asked audience members to greet their seat members in the normal manner that they'd greet a stranger. The usual bland handshakes and quick "hellos" ensued.
Then, with U2's "Hello!" blasting, he made them jump up and down to get their energy up, and then greet those same seatmates as if they were long lost friends or lovers. All of a sudden, the energy in the room changed. One woman bounded down an aisle, hands waving in the air as she greeted a stranger with a warm embrace. Kisses were exchanged by people who hardly knew each other. One six-foot-tall man grabbed a five-foot-tall stranger and whirled him around in a circle, his legs dangling in the air.
"How did that person make you feel?" Robbins asked the crowd, who of course universally agreed that they felt great after the unusually-personal exchange. The point: energetic, happy people are going to give a much better impression to clients and prospects than "the boring people that call on them every day," Robbins told the audience.
So how to rev yourself up to be the kind of person people want to be around? Robbins had plenty of ideas, including acting out what it would be like if your favorite team won the Super Bowl (which, of course, he had audience members try), and changing your movement (think jumping, galloping, and fist-pumping). Doing these type of exercises before an important sales call or client meeting will put you in the right frame of mind, Robbins said.
"You can be someone who sucks all of the energy out of the room, or somebody who lifts people up by your energy," Robbins said. "Which one do you want to be?"
Tony Robbins: Time To Kick It In Gear
Filed under: Education, Fun, The ASI Show
"Decisions = destiny. If you want to change your life you have to make new decisions," Robbins says. But we make three decisions, all subconsciously.
First, what should I focus on? The experience today requires that we have to take control of our own focus. You want to change your life, change your focus, he says. When you focus on what you can control your self esteem explodes. "When you spin out of control, focus on where you want to go or you're going to hit the wall," Robbins says.
Second, what does that mean? The moment you give meaning to something it changes your life. One word can change the meaning of everything. "The minute you give it meaning it creates emotion and emotion equals life," he says.
Finally, what should I do? "If you're feeling love you are going to respond very differently than if you're frustrated," Robbins says. How depressed or excited we are can go back to the three decisions. "If decisions are what shape my destiny more than anything else then what shapes my decisions," he asks. Well, how you are feeling will determine how you make decisions. If you are in a lousy state, you will make lousy decisions. If you are in a great state, you will make great decisions and you can control that.
It's all about energy. Energy comes from psychology and spirit, not food and sleep. For example, people who have charisma have a lot of energy. For inspiration, Robbins shares a story of a 72-year-old woman who had been running marathons and iron man competitions beginning at 40 years old. At 70, she vacationed in Hawaii and entered an iron man competition. A huge wind caused her to crash on the bike course and she was badly hurt. So the event organizers changed the rules that no one over 70 could compete. However, on her 71st birthday she went back to compete and they would not allow her, but she said it was a free country and she did the swim, bike and run on her own causing the organizers, out of embarrassment, to reverse the rule.
Therefore, the message: if you can have the same spirit and energy, you can better control your destiny and decisions.

Tony Robbins: It's the Emotions, Stupid
Filed under: Education, Fun, The ASI Show
Ask people why they fail and they give you a number of excuses: We didn't have the right people, we didn't have the right technology, we didn't have the time. "They're saying they didn't have the resources," Robbins said. "But it's not a lack of resources that's screwing them up. It's a lack of resourcefulness." Emotions – creativity, flexibility, compassion, vision — are the ultimate resources.
He brought up Walmart's Sam Walton as an example. He had vision, started small and built an empire. In 1974, comparable retailers K-Mart and Sears were kicking ass and Walmart had a mere 78 stores. Today, Walmart has 10,000 stores and pulls in $444 billion in sales. K-Mart merged with Sears after bankruptcy.
Sam Walton was fearless and fear is the biggest impediment to success. "The biggest fear people have is I'm not enough and I won't be loved," Robbins said. "But you can change those thoughts and emotions by changing your physiology – the way your body moves."
At that point, he told the audience to get up and stretch and go through various gyrations as loud pumping music played. He then instructed them to turn and massage the shoulders of the person next to them. "Most people don't ever celebrate," Robbins said next. "Turn to your partner and celebrate like crazy and see if they can outdo your energy."
The whole room erupted with cheering, jumping and fist-pumping. It was a sales rep's Super Bowl. "I know it's not your typical business seminar, but they're boring as shit," Robbins said.

A boy posing as a brother manages to get a 14-year-old girl out of class. Columbia County school leaders are investigating this case, trying to figure out how it happened. News 12 is also investigating this.
"We expect whoever's in charge at that school when someone comes to check a child out early that it be someone that is listed as permitted by the parents to do so," said Columbia County Superintendent Tommy Price.
That's what Superintendent Tommy Price says was done right. But one critical step was left out, checking the ID of a boy posing as a student's brother. That allowed a 17-year-old boy to check out a 14-year-old girl from Greenbrier High School on Monday. The two reportedly got caught in a stairwell together at the Augusta Mall later in the day.
"It turned out that there was probably a scheme there to bypass our procedures," Price said. "There's no fool-proof way if somebody's dead set on manipulating the system and tricking you, but we are encouraging our schools to use caution."
Price says he used this incident to remind all schools about procedures for checking out students. And he says parents can help by sending a note to school anytime someone like a brother or uncle will pick up their kid.
"Sometimes we've got several staff. We probably even have volunteers in some of the schools who on occasion may fill that role," Price said.
The boy posing as the girl's brother is 17 years old. No confirmation yet on what school he attends.

The International Forum on Business Ethical Conduct (IFBEC) held its fourth annual conference on October 15th and 16th in Alexandria, Virginia. Over 80 ethics and compliance professionals from the aerospace and defense industry, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations heard a diverse set of panels cover such topics as best practices, ethics in the global marketplace, and the impact of corruption on the aerospace and defense market. Among the topics discussed was the need for comprehensive training and communication, with examples provided by Raytheon's high quality training videos and Lockheed Martin's mobile training "Go-Kits," and the value of developing industry initiatives to mitigate risk in global supply chains and in offset contracts.
In the conference's second annual "Tone from the Top" panel, five executives from the largest global aerospace and defense contractors discussed the vital importance of operating in an ethical manner and how to instill ethical values in their companies. The executives featured were Chris Raymond, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy for The Boeing Company; John Dieter, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at EADS; David Perry, Corporate Vice President and Chief Global Business Development Officer for the Northrop Grumman Corporation; Rick Kirkland, Vice President of Corporate International Business Development for the Lockheed Martin Corporation; and Tom Culligan, Senior Vice President of the Raytheon Company and CEO of Raytheon International.
IFBEC was founded in 2010 when member companies of AIA and ASD united to endorse the Global Principles of Business Ethical Conduct. Since holding its first conference in Berlin, Germany, IFBEC has expanded to 25 companies representing the top global aerospace and defense firms as well as members of their supply chain. This year IFBEC took the important step of welcoming its first member from outside of the AIA and ASD communities, Elbit Systems, Ltd. In 2014 IFBEC plans to build upon this success by expanding its membership to more global aerospace and defense firms, further refining the Global Principles, and developing new initiatives to support business ethical conduct in our industry. For more information about IFBEC and how to become a member, please contact Doug Farren, firstname.lastname@example.com.
