You are great. Love the movie, beautiful drawing. I will definitely be looking at more work from you.

What exactly are you trying to tell me? What do womens tears have to do with erection problems? Well maybe thats the wrong question but do you actually think someone is going to come to my drawing and actually click on your link?
Excellent work, just found you on here so I'm looking forward to future work.
very nice
You've got a few deviations in the Traditional category when they are clearly digital...just sayin'. Not sure if you realize.
This is awesome!
This is awesome!
That might be a good one, I changed it to traditional/mixed media/people. This one was 2 hours drawing all the lines and some shading, then bring into photoshop and do gradient tones. So much faster in photoshop. What would you recommend for pieces that start 50% traditional then go 50% digital by time. Or is time even the determining factor? Is it more overall effect to the piece. Anyway got me thinking about it.
Yea I need to go through them all, Im so lazy when I post my images. And some of them I spend 2 hours drawing with a pencil and then 15 minutes in digital and think well I spent longer in the traditional than digital, maybe I should post all my stuff under mixed, catagories are weird anyway.
Hmm. Maybe they could go into Digital Art > Mixed Media? I think when digital alterations have become apparent beyond general clean-up, then it should go under Digital, but that is just my opinion. Traditional > Mixed Media would, for example, be watercolour, ink, and glitter; all things you can touch physically. I'm mostly a traditional artist, so I just found it confusing at first to see strokes and textures that looked digital when I was expecting traditional- I was going to ask you how you made it look like that with only a pencil, until I realized it was digital in part, lol.
Yea that's probably the best spot for what I've been doing lately. Dont want to confuse anyone else. Been getting carried away with my photoshop experiments.
Ohh my boy Travis!!!! My favorite movie and a great drawing

Elliott set to graduate high school then hit track
DES MOINES, Iowa -- NASCAR Nationwide points leader Chase Elliott will juggle school and racing for the final time this weekend.
The 18-year-old will graduate from King's Ridge Christian School in Alpharetta, Ga., on Saturday morning and fly straight to Iowa for a qualifying session just 10 hours later.
Elliott says that while he's excited to focus solely on racing, he also appreciated how school helped balance his life.
Elliott headlines the list of Nationwide regulars set to race on Sunday at Iowa Speedway.

> Oops, this is missing a rm, and doesn't work with it.
Yes, I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it without rm'ing
stuff; mtree just gave me a nice easy way to make a bunch of stuff for
testing. I mostly saw it with /usr/ports, which I keep mounted r/o
except when building (which means the last thing before remounting is
generally rm'ing a big tree). It has happened with / too, where I'd
remount to edit something in /etc, but vim may do a rename() of a temp
file instead of editing in place, so maybe it's still removing an
Last year, it used to not cause the softdep_waitidle messages and
prevent the fs from being remounted. Instead, it would give an error
hostname kernel: /: update error: blocks 28 files 2
and WOULD remount it, and even set the clean flag, but would still
leave turds lying around that would need a manual fsck to clean up
(fsck -p obviously would completely skip it, since it was marked
clean). It was early this year that it moved from that annoying to
the "locked fs" crippling variant. (n.b.: I don't have any real
evidence that it's a mutation of the same problem, rather than two
different ones, aside from the trigger condition apparently being the
same, and the newer completely replacing the older.)
> It takes a reboot per test.
I've been retrying it every few months post-upgrade, when I could just
reboot the mess away. And otherwise just being very careful to sync a
bunch of times, and wait a few minutes before `mount -u -oro`ing
stuff. Rather a pain.

Combat, from what we've seen, takes place in two kinds of areas: out in the expansive Wasteland, and in more traditional interior "dungeon" environments. Functionally, it's a combination of run and gun weapons fire (in a nice touch, you raise a small telescope to your left eye when zooming in using the pistol) spliced with some nifty supporting sci-fi gadgets. Underneath Wellspring, in an area overrun by thugs known as the "Ghost Clan", Tim uses different ammunition types to cause all sorts of havoc. Electro bolts, for example, allow you to fry a bunch of badguys in one shot if they're stood in a pool of water. The fat boy ammo, on the other hand, is great for blowing up canisters, and burning bandit flesh. We see some goons emerge from a blaze, screaming in pain as fire chars their skin and cooks their gizzards. Using the right ammo in the right situation is key to RAGE's combat.
If the various ammo types add spice to RAGE's Serenity-flavoured broth, then the many engineering items add sugar. These crafted items can cause some serious damage. Take, for example, the Remote Control Car Bomb: Lay it on the ground, steer it into a room full of bandits, then boom! Later, if you have the appropriate recipes, you'll be able to craft deployable turrets and small robot controlled sentry bots. Engineering items can mean the difference between life and death, so you'll always want to pick up everything and anything you find along your travels (thankfully RAGE doesn't have any form of encumbrance system, so you can carry as much as you want).
While ammo types and engineering items mix up RAGE's combat, it's the enemies you'll use them on that are of most interest. The Ghost Clan, who can dynamically path through the environment, are extremely nimble – attacking from above and below, swinging like death-obsessed acrobats. They often charge at you, wall-running to dodge your fire before bludgeoning you in the face. The Cockney-sounding Wasted, on the other hand, are much easier to handle. In the Dam Facility area where they're holed up, Tim employs flanking tactics. He deploys as many turrets as he can, trying to flush the thugs out from behind cover. The Ghost Clan and The Wasted are only two of the many bandit types in the game, but you'll always know what you're up against because they like to paint the walls with their unique tribal markings.
Tim's presentation has answered so many questions. We know that structurally RAGE follows a sort of hub and spoke design, where you pick up quests from towns and go out into the wild and other dank places to complete them. We also know that vehicle combat is more of an additional mechanic, supplementing the FPS action rather than competing with it. And we know, not that there was any doubt, that RAGE's visuals will blow away anyone who dares to look at them.
But will the gameplay match the graphics? I haven't seen one mechanic that, on its own, pushes the FPS genre forward. id is banking on that not mattering; RAGE's appeal is less about its individual ideas and more about a collective consciousness. Everything looks perfectly well executed, from the visceral satisfaction of shooting bandits to tearing across the Wasteland in the buggy, from the environmental kills that come with elemental ammo types to the unique bandit AI. These are ideas we've seen before, but rarely have we seen them executed so beautifully.
"There are a lot of unique aspects to RAGE that aren't necessarily ground-breaking in of themselves," Tim admits. "But when you put them in a whole package you need to make them work, you need to make them fit, you need to make players feel that, 'okay, it makes sense that I'm switching to this type of gameplay'. Getting it all to gel has been probably the biggest challenge. But it's been the most fun, too."
And fun, my FPS-loving friends, is exactly what RAGE will be.
RAGE is due out on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2011.

Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
As the closing bell rang today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) had lost an astonishing 185 points, or 1.19%, and now it sits at 15,451. This monster move downward came just two days after the index rose 147 points and set new intraday and closing all-time highs, after the Federal Reserve announced it would not begin tapering this month. Wednesday's rally put the Dow up 299 points in just three days, putting the index on pace to be the second best week since early July. But, after falling 40 points yesterday, and tanking today, the Dow ends the week up just 75 points, or 0.47%.
The other major indexes also lost ground today as the S&P 500 fell 0.72%, and the Nasdaq slid lower by 0.39%, but they both managed to post strong gains for the week, up 1.3% and 1.41%, respectively.
Let's take a look at a few of the reasons the Dow had such a rough afternoon.
Earlier this week, news broke that Sprint (NYSE: S ) was going to offer an option for customers to upgrade their phones on a yearly basis, as opposed to the standard two-year cycle. Today, shares of AT&T (NYSE: T ) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) moved lower by 1.42% and 1.5%, respectively. One reason is that Sprint officially announced the change today, and made a point to indicate that the service plan that will accompany the early upgrade option will be much cheaper than comparable plans that AT&T and Verizon currently offer.
Sprint stated that its $65 per month plan closely compares to what a customer would get after paying $110 per month with one of the two larger carriers. Analysts have cut projections for Sprint because of the new service, as they felt it will hurt margins and overall profits. But, if the new offering can attract customers from AT&T and Verizon because of the cheaper service plans, it may end up being the two larger companies that will ultimately loose, with both customers and lower margins, if they attempt to compete with Sprint on price.
One of the Dow's biggest losers of the day was United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) , which fell 2.16% this afternoon. The move came after news broke indicating that United Tech's Pratt & Whitney division and Rolls-Royce were abandoning their possible joint venture plan. The two companies had previously discussed the idea of joining forces to build the next generation engine that would be used in both Airbus aircraft and Boeing planes. The venture would have given the companies essentially a monopoly on the engine market for narrow-body planes, which is what the two organizations realized, and why they ultimately decided not to move forward with the plan.
Neither company felt the regulators in either the UK or the United States would have allowed the partnership; thus, why waste the time and money now. Investors sold off United Technologies today, though, in disappointment, because had this venture gone through, it would have given the company a massive advantage against other competitors in terms of technology, and pricing power with customers.
A Deeper Foolish Perspective
With the American markets reaching new highs, investors and pundits alike are skeptical about future growth. They shouldn't be. Many global regions are still stuck in neutral, and their resurgence could result in windfall profits for select companies.

Ones to Watch | By Jody Shee
What college student wouldn't love to have a great chicken joint where they can hang out, drink a few, and watch sports on a huge television screen, all for an affordable price? For two brothers and a couple of their buddies, who had all attended colleges with chicken concepts nearby, the answer to this question was a no-brainer, yet they realized such an establishment was missing from their local Nashville college scene.
"Everyone loves chicken. We felt we could start a concept that was better than those [at our colleges]," says Stuart Ottinger, co-founder of Otter's Chicken Tenders.
And so the dream became reality, leading to the first Otter's, a fast-casual, family friendly sports bar that opened in 2003. Stuart Ottinger and his brother, Talbott, along with two friends, Steve Logan and Charlie Fitzgerald, are the founders of the concept, which carries the slogan "101 ways to eat chicken and counting." The name Otter's was inspired by a character in the movie "Animal House" and is a play off the Ottinger's last name.
"Out of the four partners, we had a combined experience of about six months in the restaurant business," Ottinger says. "That consisted of waiting and busing tables." Still, today there are four company-owned Otter's units and one franchised location, with four additional franchises sold.
The restaurant idea is simple. Otter's majors in chicken tenders—fried, grilled, or buffalo-style—served in wraps, sandwiches, quesadillas, and salads with a choice of six dipping sauces. Rather than buy the common 1.5-ounce tenders, Otter's uses 2- to 3-ounce fresh, never-frozen tenders and prepares them to order, hand-breading them in a flavorful, proprietary breading mix. Each store receives chicken deliveries three times a week, two to three days from the time the chicken left the farm.
One of the surprising menu standouts is Ottinger's mother's homemade chicken-salad recipe. It's a sweet, chunky, mayonnaise-based salad featuring dried cranberries and toasted almonds that derives its sweetness from honey. It started as a Friday special but became so popular the salad joined the regular menu lineup and is also sold in 12-ounce containers for customers to take home.

CO-FOUNDERS: Stuart and Talbott
Steve Logan, and Charlie Fitzgerald
HQ: Nashville, Tennessee
ANNUAL SALES: $4 million

Fried pickles are another menu hit. Using its special breading, the restaurant coats dill pickle chips, fries them, and serves them with a choice of sauce. Two of the sauce options are made fresh in-house as signature sauces: honey mustard and Otter's, which is a tangy Creole sauce.
"The fried pickles go well with a nice cold beer and watching sports," Ottinger says. After all, it is a sports-bar concept, complete with multiple high-definition televisions and a 106-inch projector screen.
Originally, the target customer was the 18-to-35-year-old market. "Now it's 4-year-olds to grandmas and grandpas," Ottinger says. "It just happened." The concept started attracting young families with kids thanks to its check averages from $7.50 to $8.
The goal for each of the 2,500- to 3,000-square-foot units is to be located near a university with good residential surroundings and within three to five miles of a commercial area to draw business lunch crowds. The concept has made a splash in Nashville, having been voted Best Lunch Spot, Best Late Night Dining, and Best Cheap Eats by City-search.com.
Despite the company's success, it's constantly staying on top of the hottest foodservice trends. With the rise of slider fame, Otter's added chicken sliders to the appetizer menu, and the owners also have an eye for energy efficiency. "We use compact fluorescent bulbs, our countertops are quartz, which is considered green, and our walls are foam insulated," Ottinger says.
Looking to the future, Ottinger says the team plans to expand in a big way. "In the next five years, we'd like to have 15 to 20 units in southern Louisiana to mid-Tennessee and surrounding states," he says. "In 10 years, we hope to have over 50 locations."
The franchise fee is $30,000 with 5 percent royalty. Franchisees go through an eight-week training program where the owner and four employees come to one of the units for classroom and on-the-job training, and then management goes to the franchisee's location to help train employees and get the operation up and running.
Ottinger says that any potential Otter's Chicken Tenders employee better come prepared to have fun. "We want it to be a place where workers come to enjoy work," he says. "We don't want them to dread coming to work. We have music playing throughout the restaurant at all times. It keeps employees upbeat."

VINELAND — An 85-year-old woman was the target of a possible telephone scam, according to police, by a caller claiming to be an employee at the federal Social Security Administration.
A woman identifying herself as "Mrs. Foster" called the elderly resident on April 16, reports indicated. The phone number was 206-259-6504.
Mrs. Foster told the woman that she would be receiving an increase in her pension check, according to authorities, and even correctly identified how much pension money the woman was already receiving.
"Foster asked for her personal information, which the victim provided," police said. "Foster also asked her which bank she has an account with and was told that information, but not the account number."
After the conversation, the victim decided that the phone call was suspicious and looked up the telephone number, finding that it the call came from Seattle, Wash.
Police were notified and called the number, only for the phone call to go to an answering machine.
Officers advised the victim to periodically do a credit check and look for any suspicious activity.

BROOKSVILLE — Hernando County's financial picture grew darker Thursday when Property Appraiser Alvin Mazourek announced a likely drop of 8 percent in property values this year for tax purposes.
County budget manager George Zoettlein had been building a 2012-13 spending plan based on a 5 percent drop in property values, which directly relates to the amount of property tax revenue generated to provide county services.
Countywide taxable values for all properties would fall from $7.7 billion to $7.1 billion, the lowest it has been since 2004, according to Mazourek's estimates.
Taxable value is the value after all exemptions have been deducted from the assessed value of properties.
For the county, that means a projected $6.7 million shortfall in property tax revenue would grow to $8 million, and that figure does not consider a Medicaid billing backlog that could cost Hernando another $3 million.
"The value is going down because of (home) sales,'' Zoettlein said.
The good-faith estimate from Mazourek's office considers values in 2012, but does not include an estimated $65 million in the value of new construction. That figure will be added before the appraiser certifies the tax roll formally on July 1.
But Zoettlein said that with so little new construction last year, he didn't expect the additional value to do much to help with the county's revenue deficit.
County commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the 2012-13 budget. At 1 p.m. Tuesday, the commission will hold a public hearing and special meeting to consider establishing separate taxing districts for libraries and for parks.
By Tuesday, Zoettlein expects to have received the 2012-13 budget proposals from the county's five constitutional officers, which are due today. With the good-faith estimate and the budgets, he expects to present commissioners with their best look yet at how much will need to be cut from next year's budget, unless tax-rate increases are approved.
"I'm going to be asking them to give me some guidance,'' Zoettlein said.
The time line is tight from this point. The next budget workshop for the board is July 10, and by July 15 Zoettlein must submit a balanced budget to the commission. By its last meeting in July, the commission must approve the 2012-13 tax rate.
Zoettlein said he hoped that "this is the last bad one'' and that property values will begin to rebound for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The early estimate for 2012-13 also shows that property values in the city of Brooksville fell by 4.5 percent, from $398 million to $380 million.
Brooksville City Manager Jennene Norman-Vacha said the estimate is not out of line with what city officials have been expecting.
And the figure may even signal that property values in the city are stabilizing, she said.
"It's not as devastating as years past," Norman-Vacha said. "Our hope is that we'll be able make up any shortfalls without too much difficulty."
Information about the impact of the good-faith estimate on the Hernando school district's revenues and budget was not available Thursday.
Staff writer Logan Neill contributed to this report.

I never would leave any results on a patient's voicemail or send the results by fax or e-mail.

OTC choices for cold leave the head spinning
Dear Dr. Gott: Boy, do I get confused. I feel as though I am coming down with a cold. When I went to my local drugstore to get something to treat myself with, I found countless shelves filled with lozenges, antihistamines, stuff for a sore throat, congestion, runny nose, aches, pains, fever and every other symptom under the sun. I was so confused that I came home with a new bottle of shampoo and some tissues. Where do I begin so I can make the right decision?

Matching music to Pirates' action, in digital age
PITTSBURGH -- With a runner on first, the Pirates infielders and audio engineer were ready for a double play. The Bucs converted, and that was Mic Connolly's cue to blare "Double Vision" by Foreigner throughout PNC Park.
People staffing the in-game entertainment room sit 101 feet above the field. But they were also closely tuned in, prepared to match music to game situations using a computer, audio editor and other tools.
They played everything from Jewish folk classic "Hava Nagila" to the pop hit "Tik Tok." Baseball music has come a long way since the organ.
At PNC Park, the organ music is all prerecorded, and there's less than there used to be. The evolution of ballpark music here and throughout the major leagues reflects broad shifts in technology and American culture.
Since the 1860s, there has been live music at baseball games. In those days, bands provided the entertainment, according to Tim Wiles, director of research at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. As parks grew in size, "the concept of having a live band playing at a ballpark made less and less sense," since musical groups would have to move around to be heard by fans in different sections.
The development of the public address system changed that. The former New York Giants were the first Major League Baseball team to install a PA system, in 1929. In 1941, Wrigley Field became the first major league park to feature live organ music, according to Wiles.
Organ music is just one of a larger set of options now at ballpark entertainers' disposal. With videos on Jumbotrons and between-inning contests, the organ is sometimes drowned out, even in stadiums that still have live organists.
In Pittsburgh, the legend of Vince Lascheid lives on.
"Fans, it's time for the seventh-inning stretch. We invite you now to stand, join legendary Pirates organist Vince Lascheid, and follow the bouncing Eat'n Park Smiley Cookie, as we sing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame.'''
That announcement still precedes the song, even though the Lascheid is no longer there to perform it.
In July 1970, Lascheid debuted alongside the new Three Rivers Stadium, the first time live organ was used at Pirates games.
Lascheid was the Pirates organist almost continuously until his death in 2009, according to his daughter, Mindy Lascheid-McKee.
To this day, his music reverberates throughout PNC Park. When Lascheid became ill with Alzheimer's, his music was recorded on off-days.
These recordings, in combination with recorded game performances from 2001, serve as the basis for most organ music now played at PNC Park.

Broussard, Woods hold double-ring wedding with New Orleans style, tradition
NEW ORLEANS - Lauren Elizabeth Broussard, the daughter of Tom and Ronda Broussard of Rayne, and Jordan Christopher Woods, the son of Karen Trenticosta Woods and Chris Woods, both of New Orleans, were united in marriage on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at three o'clock in the afternoon during a formal wedding ceremony held at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
Father Byron Miller performed the double-ring ceremony with the first scriptures read by Timothy Woods, uncle of the groom. The Responsorial Psalm was read by Karen Carr, godmother of the groom and the second reading was presented by Tony Olinger, uncle of the bride.
Musical selections were presented by the Fine Arts Ensemble, who played "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," "Canon in D," "Trumpet Voluntary" and "Trumpet Tune."
Program attendants were Ian Begnaud, family friend of the bride, and Ian Kansas, family friend of the groom.
Offertory gifts were presented by Mary Reed, aunt of the bride; Verna Olinger, aunt of the bride; Beverly Abreo, aunt of the groom and Jeanne Doyle, aunt of the groom.
Eucharistic minister was David Reed, godfather of the bride.
The bride is the granddaughter of Melba Olinger of Rayne and the late Hilary Olinger Sr. and the late Elaine and Numa Bartel Broussard Sr., formerly of Rayne.
She is a 2006 graduate of Notre Dame High School of Acadia Parish. Lauren is also a 2010 graduate of the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in textile, apparel and merchandising. She is a Pi Beta Phi sorority alumnae and is employed at Dantin Bruce Real Estate Development Company in Baton Rouge.
The groom is the grandson of Helen Trenticosta of New Orleans and the late Anthony Trenticosta Jr. and the late Gertrude and Herschel Woods, formerly of New Orleans.
He is the 2005 graduate of Brother Martin High School and a 2010 graduate of the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge where he graduated in petroleum engineering. Jordan is currently employed at Precision Drilling.
The procession began with the seating of the grandparents and parents followed by the wedding party procession.
The bride was presented by her father. She looked radiant as she made a grand entrance into the church in which both sides of the middle aisle were adorned with a large mix of pink and white snapdragons in tall glass risers just above pew height.
Lauren wore an elegant A-line strapless gown designed by Maggie Sotters. It featured a classic corset closure featuring horizontal tiers of valencia organza plummeting from the neckline to the bottom hem. The stunning fabric gave off a captivating shimmer, enriched with a glistening waistband of beaded embellishments. Her headpiece was a cathedral length veil with rhinestones edging the entire veil. The bride's bouquet was a traditional fragrant mix of medium pink peonies, hand tied in soft ivory satin with a crystal brooch.
The mother of the bride, Rhonda Olinger Broussard, wore a silver bolero jacket dress with a pleated bodice with beaded embellishments over a floor length skirt and a three quarter length tier skirt.
The mother of the groom, Karen Trenticosta Woods, wore an elegant three piece lavender ensemble featuring a scalloped, open front jacket, scoop neck tank and ankle length tier skirt. Both mothers wore corsages of white dendrobium orchids.
Kelli Broussard Moody, sister of the bride, served as matron of honor. Dayna Guidry, friend of the bride, served as maid of honor. Bridal attendants were Katie Anzalone Broussard, sister-in-law of the bride; Rachael Kansas, family friend of the groom; and Alyssa Zaunbrecher, Amber Harris and Elizabeth Burger, all friends of the bride. They each wore a Belsoie A-line formal of sea glass matte taffeta in various styles with pearl accessories. They carried a bouquet of white peonies, hand tied in sea glass fabric with a crystal brooch.
The groom, adorned with a boutonniere of pink ranunculus, chose his friend, Mark Milhet, as best man. Groomsmen, who wore boutonnieres of white ranunculus, were Luke Moody, brother-in-law of the bride; Scott Broussard, brother of the bride; Alan Kansas, family friend of the groom; and Lance Lepine, Corey Shrider and Jack Duffard Jr., all friends of the groom. Junior groomsman was Nolan Olinger, cousin of the bride.
Junior bridesmaid was Mackenzie Olinger, cousin of the bride, while Chloe Broussard, niece of the bride; Nina Begnaud, family friend of the bride; and Sienna Kansas, family friend of the groom, all served as flower girls. The flower girls all dressed in ivory colored dupioni silk gowns which reached ankle length. The bodice was pleated from the neckline to the waist, with a sash in sea glass tones tied around their waist. Each girl carried a pomander of light pink spray roses.
Immediately following the wedding ceremony, a second line was lead by "The Mixed Nuts" playing jazz music and proceeded from St. Louis Cathedral to the Riverview Room at Jackson Brewery. The newly married couple and their attendants raised decorated umbrellas during the second line and all guests were given a white handkerchief with the inscription "Laissez les bons temps rouler" to waive with the music.
The reception was filled with beautiful centerpieces of pink and white peonies, roses, ranunculus and snapdragons. There was a "wishing tree" to hang well wishes to the couple and a photo booth to capture memories for the newlyweds.
Out of town guest traveled from Rayne, Crowley, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Church Point, Lake Charles, Shreveport, Ponchatoula, Mandeville, Covington, River Ridge and Harahan and Mississippi, Texas, Utah and California. The couple personally filled honey jars from a relative's honey farm and added honey dippers for their wedding guests to take as a memento.
The bride's cake was a four-tier, diamond white confection with alternating shapes and fillings. It featured peonies, roses, orchids, ranunculus and snapdragons on the bottom layer and cake topper. It was adorned with a crystal broach in the center of the cake and cake pulls with New Orleans themed charms. The bridal cake was served by Sandy Pam Broussard, godmother of the bride.
The groom's cake was a one layer chocolate confection with a depiction of a crawfish boil on edible "Saints Superbowl Victory" newsprint. The cake was topped with crawfish, corn, potatoes, lemons, garlic and Abita Strawberry beer. Karen Carr, godmother of the groom, served the groom's cake.
The groom's parents hosted a rehearsal dinner for the two families and wedding party after the wedding rehearsal on June 1 at Muriel's at Jackson Square. Cocktails were served initially, with dinner at 6:30 p.m. Crab cakes, filet mignon, redfish with crab stuffing and bread pudding was served.
When the time came for the special couple to say farewell, family and friends lined a pathway with sparklers as the newly married couple left the reception.
After a honeymoon trip to Maui, Hawaii, the couple will reside in Baton Rouge.

well depends what kind of games you like.

but i would definatly recommend Resident Evil 4
Well, assuming you liked Zelda, try metroid prime 3. Even if you didn't play the last two primes you'll still enjoy the game's plot and action. It's kind of a stand alone episode, to be honest.
If you like silly minigames, warioware smooth moves is one of the best collections of all time. I play this game all the time, it's very funny and the games are active and fun.
Super Paper Mario is a great platformer with some RPG elements to it, and in my opinion, it has one of the best plots of the paper mario series. Or atleast one of the most melodramatic ones. Highly recommended.
If you like SSX try out Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, it's very similiar but the controls are more intuitive and well, I enjoy it.
Also, try some of the games out on the virtual console, lots of great classics there. Right now I'm playing Breath of Fire II (Classic 2D RPG) and Gunstar Heroes (Legendary Shooter.)
Oh, and don't forget that between now and Christmas there'll be some amazing releases, so don't blow all your cash now! We have Super Mario Galaxy (11/12/07) Super Smash Bros Brawl (12/3/07) Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Mid November.) and DK Barrel Blast ( 10/8/07 )
I recommend the following, Reisdent Evil 4, Mario Strikers Charged, Super Paper Mario, Call of Duty 3 and Mario Party 8.
Wii games I own: Medal Of Honour Heroes 2, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Resident Evil 4, Red Steel, Mario Strikers Charged, Fifa 08, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Mario Galaxy, Big Brain Accademy, Battalion Wars 2 and Wii Sports.
Wii Number: 2823 4586 3223 6887
Friend Code for MSC: 463957 076941
Fifa 08 player name: Woz
RE4, Warioware, Mario Strikers Charged. All are great games to play.
Current systems: Wii, PSP, DS(sux), N64, and PS2.
PM me if you want to play Socom Fireteam Bravo 2 online! Need wii friend codes!
id personally like to recomend resident evil 4, the game never ends because once you think you beat it you unlock some thing ELSE and want to replay it. and theres different game modes and stuff.
also The Godfather is a really fun game. threatening people and punching them and strangling them just never gets boring with the wii remote and its got some cool cars and missions are fun too.
also mysims comes out on tuesday! that game looks promising
Gamertag/PSN ID=SensesFailxWiix if you add me send me a message via console or wiichat
I thought Red Steel was a great game, so is metroid prime corruption, and super paper mario seemed kinda iffy to me at first but it is pretty addictive and once you start it is a hard game to put down... well at least untill you finish it lol
looks like you need an online game. Madden IMO is better than strikers for online.
My Online: Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (Wii), Socom CA (Ps2)
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Mario Strikers Charged, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption...Buy those and believe me, you won't be dissapointed.
The end is near....Or is it the beginning?
it's THE BEGINNING of an endless fall into a precipice of epic Brawling fun.

Insolent behavior during lessons
I would like to hear from the teachers how they like this issue handled. My sweet, cooperative, conscientious 10 year old has turned into a sulky, back-talking, insolent 11 year old. We have just come from another lesson where he has said to the teacher things like, "I know, I KNOW!," and, "I DID do it that way!" I don't allow him to talk to me in that tone of voice and I don't want him talking that way to any adult, let alone his teacher. After the last two lessons, I have had a little talk with him about being polite and the correct response to his teacher's suggestions, but what I want to do is snatch him out of the room right when he does it and talk to him about it right then. The teacher ignores it all—I am sure he has seen and heard plenty worse in his 30 years of teaching, but I don't want to allow my child to be so disrespectful. How would you teachers like this kind of situation handled?
Personally, I prefer that parents allow me to deal with behavior unless it is extreme. I think the parent should address the issue with the child after the lesson. This sounds age-typical to me, and your teacher'g ignoring it is probably what I would do.
I have to disagree with pianolover on this one.
I think you are handling it very well. And this is what I expect a parent to do.
Maybe pianolover misunderstood your post. But it sounds to me that you dealt with your child's behaviour after the lesson, not during.
As a teacher I would address this type of behaviour when it occurs, at the lesson. I would not ignore it nor accept it. Children need to know what is appropriate behaviour and what isn't. I feel it is nice to have a teacher helping the parent out with this, and vice-versa.
I would call the teacher this week and ask him if he has time to discuss your son's behavior. I think you and the teacher should try to have even a short conversation about what is happening and how you both want to handle it.
Some of my teen and "tween" (10-12 year olds) students start to do the rude comments, rolling eyes, checking their watch every 2 minutes, etc. and I just tell them "you know, it is actually very rude and disrepectful when you… (roll your eyes, etc.) I am trying my best to help you during your lesson time, but I need you to work with me." Usually, when it comes from the teacher, the kid feels bad and shapes up.
That being said, these students are in the hormone-rollercoaster stage of life. I have at least one girl who is a great kid for 3 lessons, but she almost always has a cranky PMS-lesson every 4th week! After I realized this, I don't make a big deal of it, and she is fine the following week…
Thank you all for your input. I will ask the teacher what he would like me to do. I know this behavior comes with the age, but it still is not appro-priate. I just feel that by letting it go at the lesson, even if the teacher ignores it, I am condoning the behavior.

If $1 million were equilant to $10,000 of my current money, then yes, I would risk it.
At the moment, I can afford to lose $10,000 and it won't affect my lifestyle at all.
If I could afford to lose $1 million without it affecting my lifestyle, then sure, why not?
I'd want proof of the 185-2 record, printed out and highlited in front of me, and I'd want it for way more than just 2 years. Possibly 5 years, or more.
But yes, it's definitely considerable.

Iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been reported in patients who use immunosuppressive regimens for the treatment of autoimmune disorders, malignant neoplasms, and organ transplant rejection. However, iatrogenic KS in the setting of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) has been infrequently observed. The conventional treatment strategy for iatrogenic KS has focused on reducing immunosuppression, which carries a poor prognosis owing to a substantial risk for exacerbation of the primary disease.
A 49-year-old man developed KS on his wrist after 2 years of long-term immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone, methotrexate, and dapsone for well-controlled PV. Three months after the substitution of methotrexate with sirolimus, the KS gradually resolved. With the patient on a maintenance regimen of sirolimus, in conjunction with low-dose prednisone and dapsone therapy, KS and PV have remained in remission, without further recurrence, during a 24-month follow-up period.
The present case introduces a novel therapy for this patient population, highlighting the efficacy of sirolimus in treating iatrogenic KS without sacrificing the immunosuppression necessary to maintain control of PV.
Iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been reported in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapies for autoimmune disorders, cancer, and organ transplant rejection.1,2 It has been infrequently described in patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) as a complication of long-term immunosuppression.3 The conventional treatment strategy for iatrogenic KS has focused on reducing immunosuppression, which carries a poor prognosis owing to the substantial risk for exacerbation of the primary disease.4 In the last decade, a growing literature describes the treatment of posttransplantation KS with sirolimus-based regimens, while discontinuing the use of other immunosuppressive agents.5,6 Unlike other immunosuppressives, sirolimus, which is a relatively new drug, has shown antineoplastic activity via antiangiogenic effects.5 We were unable to find any reports documenting the use of sirolimus for the treatment of iatrogenic KS in the setting of PV.
We describe a 49-year-old man who developed localized KS on his left forearm during long-term immunosuppressive therapy for PV. The substitution of sirolimus for methotrexate resulted in complete clearance of the KS tumor. This case demonstrates the efficacy of sirolimus as a novel therapy for iatrogenic KS in a patient with PV.
The patient presented with oral erosions at the age of 47 years. He was otherwise healthy, with a medical history of well-controlled psoriasis with topical therapy. His family history and a review of systems were noncontributory. The findings of routine histologic examination of a tongue biopsy specimen as well as the results of direct (intercellular pattern with IgG) and indirect (titer, 1:80) immunofluorescence confirmed the diagnosis of PV.
Therapy was initiated with oral prednisone (60 mg/d), which led to clinical improvement. After several weeks, intramuscular injections of gold sodium thiomalate (50 mg/wk) were added to the treatment regimen. During the next 3 months, as blistering activity ceased, the dosage of prednisone therapy was gradually tapered to 7.5 mg/d, and the frequency of gold injections was decreased to monthly intervals. After more than 1 year of a stable treatment regimen, new cutaneous blisters developed on the patient's extremities and genitalia. The dosage of prednisone therapy was transiently increased to 20 mg/d, and oral methotrexate (7.5 mg/wk in 3 divided doses of 2.5 mg every 12 hours) was added to the regimen. The dosage of methotrexate therapy was gradually increased to a weekly regimen of 12.5 mg in 3 divided doses (5 mg, 5 mg, and 2.5 mg) every 12 hours. An excellent clinical response was achieved for 6 months. The recurrence of new blisters prompted the addition of dapsone (50 mg/d) to the regimen. The patient continued to experience low-grade blistering of the genitalia with a regimen of prednisone (7.5 mg/d), methotrexate (12.5 mg/wk in 3 divided doses every 12 hours), dapsone (50 mg/d), and intramuscular injections of gold sodium thiomalate (50 mg/wk).
Mild blistering of the genitalia persisted for more than 12 months, when a new, isolated erythematous patch surrounded by hemorrhagic papules was observed on the distal portion of the left forearm (Figure 1A). Assumed to be a new, possibly vegetative lesion of PV, it was treated for 2 months with an increased dose of prednisone (15 mg/d) and intralesional triamcinalone (10 mg/mL). The unusual morphological appearance of the new lesion and the recalcitrant genital blistering led to the initiation of rituximab therapy (1000 mg), which was administered intravenously on days 1 and 15. When the patch on the patient's wrist unexpectedly continued to thicken into a firm hemorrhagic annular plaque after the rituximab infusions, a trephine biopsy specimen was obtained for routine histologic analysis and direct immunofluorescence.
A, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) plaque on the distal portion of the left wrist before sirolimus therapy; B, flattened KS plaque 1 month after initiation of sirolimus therapy; and C, site of KS plaque 3 to 4 months after initiation of sirolimus therapy.
Microscopic examination revealed a proliferation of small vessels around preexisting capillaries throughout the dermis. The vessels had a jagged and irregular outline with a slitlike appearance that dissected diffusely through the collagen bundles. The endothelial cells lining the vessels were thin and attenuated, without significant atypia. Both the vessels and the preexisting capillaries were frequently associated with a scattered lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. The findings were considered diagnostic of patch-stage KS (Figure 2). No immunopathologic features were detected on direct immunofluorescence, with negative staining for IgG, IgM, IgA, complement, and fibrinogen. Serologic tests were negative for human immunodeficiency virus.
Poorly formed and jagged vessels dissect through collagen bundles and surround preexisting capillaries (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×40).
Once the diagnosis of KS was established, cryosurgery was initiated with liquid nitrogen spray for a duration of 60 seconds. Methotrexate therapy was discontinued in an effort to reduce immunosuppression. Treatment with prednisone (15 mg/d), dapsone (50 mg/d), and intramuscular gold sodium thiomalate (50 mg/mo) was continued. After 1 month of observation, palpation of the KS lesion revealed increasing induration, and new pemphigus blisters were evident on the genitalia. In the absence of a response to both cryosurgery and rituximab therapy, a decision was made to initiate a trial of oral sirolimus (Rapamune) (2 mg/d).
During the first month of sirolimus therapy, dramatic involution of the KS plaque was observed (Figure 1B). The lesion decreased in size and thickness until it was virtually imperceptible by month 3 (Figure 1C). The cutaneous blistering also diminished shortly after the sirolimus therapy was initiated. Maintenance therapy with oral sirolimus (2 mg/d) was not associated with recurrent or new KS lesions during the next 2 years. As the underlying PV remained in complete remission, gold therapy was discontinued approximately 1 year after the sirolimus therapy was initiated. No adverse events have been noted on a regimen of prednisone (5 mg/d), dapsone (50 mg/d), and sirolimus (2 mg/d).
Moriz Kaposi7 first described KS in 1872 under the name idiopathic multiple pigmented sarcoma. Four clinical variants of KS are now recognized: classic, endemic, AIDS-associated, and iatrogenic.8 The cutaneous morphological appearance ranges from bluish red macules or papules to patches or plaques; lesions can become nodular or infiltrative and disseminate to visceral organs.
The relationship between immunosuppression and KS was first reported in the organ transplant population in the 1960s.9 The advent of new immunosuppressive agents, and their long-term use at high doses, has increased the risk for the development of transplant-associated KS (128- to 500-fold as compared with the general population).5,10,11 Also, iatrogenic KS has been observed in patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs for lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and autoimmune diseases.3 As all variants of KS have been linked to infection with human herpesvirus 8, the pathogenesis of iatrogenic KS has been related to the permissive effect of immunosuppressive therapy on human herpesvirus 8 infection or reactivation.12
The prognosis associated with iatrogenic KS correlates with the extent of disease. One-year survival rates vary substantially among patients with cutaneous (90%) or visceral (70%) involvement.11 The standard therapy for iatrogenic KS—withdrawal of immunosuppressive modalities—often produces a partial to complete regression through immune reconstitution and natural human herpesvirus 8 suppression.4 However, even after reduced immunosuppression, there is still substantial mortality from KS, as well as the risk for exacerbation of the primary disease.
Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the skin and mucous membranes. Systemic corticosteroids with adjuvant immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory agents are the mainstay of treatment. Untreated PV is often fatal because of susceptibility to infections as well as fluid and electrolyte disturbances.13 However, long-term immunosuppression may lead to complications such as infection and secondary neoplasms as a result of impaired immune surveillance.14 We describe a case of iatrogenic KS that developed in the setting of immunosuppressive therapy for PV.
To date, 10 cases of KS have been reported in association with immunosuppressive therapy for PV; 5 of these cases were fatal within 1 year of KS diagnosis, despite the reduction of immunosuppressive regimens.3 Typically, immunosuppressive medication doses are lower in patients with PV than in transplant recipients, which may account for the lower frequency of KS in this group.8 Also, in PV, the lower doses of immunosuppressive drugs at the onset of KS is a likely explanation for the milder clinical course; however, higher doses often lead to a more fulminant picture.1,15
Recent case studies have revealed that sirolimus is an effective therapy for iatrogenic KS among transplant recipients, while maintaining adequate immunosuppression.5,6,16 Sirolimus is a macrolide antibiotic, with immunosuppressive, antiproliferative, and antiangiogenic properties, indicated for the prevention of organ rejection, specifically renal transplantation.5,17 It has been found to have antitumor effects by inhibiting mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), a protein that is integral to cell cycle progression, restoring the programmed cell death mechanism and slowing the growth of established vascularized tumors.11,12 Also, it blocks lymphocytic proliferation by inhibiting the response to interleukin 2.18 In contrast, calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus and cyclosporine, function as immunosuppressives predominantly by inhibiting the production of interleukin 2.
The antitumor effects of sirolimus have been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo studies, using animal models. One study showed that while cyclosporine promoted tumor growth, normal immunosuppressive doses of sirolimus controlled the growth of established tumors and inhibited metastatic growth and angiogenesis in mouse models.19 As the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and activation of VEGF receptors have been implicated in the development of KS, it is noteworthy that the mechanism of sirolimus causes a decrease in the production of VEGF and inhibits the extent of stimulation of endothelial cells in response to VEGF.5,19
Case series have extended this research to human subjects via reports of the clinical efficacy of sirolimus therapy in human transplant recipients.5,6,16 Two reports found that transplant recipients with biopsy-proved KS experienced regression of the tumors several months after calcineurin inhibitor therapy was replaced with a sirolimus-based regimen.5,6 Both studies demonstrated that effective levels of immunosuppression were maintained to prevent organ rejection. Moreover, over a 5-year follow-up period, sirolimus therapy was shown to prevent the onset of iatrogenic KS in kidney transplant recipients when compared with patients receiving cyclosporine.16 Minor adverse cutaneous events associated with sirolimus therapy include acnelike eruptions, edema, and nail disorders.20
A thorough review of the current literature revealed no previous description of sirolimus therapy for iatrogenic KS in the setting of PV. Our patient developed localized, cutaneous KS after 2 years of immunosuppressive therapy for PV. His tumor did not improve after the dosage of immunosuppressive therapy was reduced. Complete cessation of immunosuppression was not an option based on the clinical activity of his PV. Therefore, sirolimus was chosen as an adjunct medication based on published data regarding its efficacy in treating iatrogenic KS. After sirolimus was added to the patient's regimen, his KS lesion resolved completely, without exacerbation of the PV. It seems important to emphasize that intractable blistering during concomitant prednisone, dapsone, methotrexate, and intramuscular gold therapy resolved promptly after sirolimus was introduced to the regimen. No further blistering has occurred during an observation period of more than 2 years, while all other treatment with immunomodulatory drugs was discontinued with the exception of low doses of prednisone.
Iatrogenic KS in the setting of PV has been associated with a poor prognosis when treated by conventional reduction of immunosuppression.3 This case highlights the successful use of sirolimus in treating iatrogenic KS without sacrificing the immunosuppression necessary to control the PV. Further studies are warranted to extend these observations, not only from the perspective of sirolimus treatment for KS in the setting of chronic immunosuppression but also as a new core modality for PV and related autoimmune diseases.

if the straps are flimsy why not try knitting an icord,if your not sure how go to any helpline and youll find out how.it comes out like a long tube of knitting and is very easy and interesting to do.

I agree, the straps are flimsy, also not too comfortable on the shoulders. I'd pick up stitches at the connecting points for the straps and knit a strap about 2 or 3 inches wide. Otherwise, this is an easy project that is great for a knitting bag, a work bag, or just a day bag for hands free shopping.

The straps would be rather flimsy for a back pack I would think. And possibly be uncomfortable. Might try crocheting a wider strap out of a more solid/sturdy yarn. Really like the pattern tho.

go for clubs that are predicted to finish top half of the table, with decent players and a decent budget.
Then try and win the league in the first or second season.
Clubs like: Rennes, Borussia Monchengladbach, Braga, Newcastle, Wolfsburg, Hamburg, Sevilla, Villareal, Montpellier etc.
I suggest Montpellier because of the fact that they have a side with loads of potential, but not alot of money for transfers though.

I am also like Stam and choose team based on if i like the name, colour of badge etc. I like to choose Eastbourne in the lower leagues to help upgrade the facilities with continued success.
Fan of Newcastle United.

I like starting a game with a lower league team like San Marino in C2 or even Milazzo (predicted to finish last, won C2 and C1 consecutively). It's a matter of perspective I guess. I enjoy finding clubs that have financial struggles with little or no wage budget, with larger teams such as Milan, MUFC or Barca you just have it too easy I guess!

ive started out a third time. I have played Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund. Now ive decided to play my own team. Epsilon FC. Im playing in the Premier League. its been three seasons and ive got relegated once to Npower League but recently ive pushed myself back to EPL. However still struggling to get Top 4. Ive only secured one FA CUP and one CARLING CUP. My best players are Raheem Stirling (RW), Fabio Borini(ST), Juan Vargas(LB) and Stefan Jovetic(CF) while other players are random players xD . Like I say, if you want a challenging yet fun time. You could try creating your own team and bringing it to Top 4 position
Have FUN!!

Hi, I was looking for a new challenge in America. I was thinking either an MLS team, Real Salt Lake or LA Galaxy appeal to me, or either Boca Juniors or Sao Paolo. I wanted to know if there are any stupid rules in any of these leagues like the home-grown EPL rule, and can somebody explain the MLS draft please??

I have decided to start with a lower league club and work my way up. You should do this too but it's up to you. I have started as Penarol in the Uruguayan Division 1 and will hopefully work my way up to the Premier League Hope this helps

I normally just do it with the team that I support, Chelsea. I find it real fun seeing that I am already familiar with most of the backroom staff, players & youngsters already. I think it's different for everyone but personally you should start with the team that you support. I am currently doing a save and am in my 5th season and will try and go as far as I can, but although a lower league may be more challenging at times, it is still quite hard for beginners to keep the job at a big club, as they do have high expectations too! When I'm finished with this though I want to do something different so I'm gonna choose a country randomly some how and then load all leagues in that country and then just hit the random button and take it from there.

I have started with Thurrock. The worst of the worst in Blue Square South. 1st year won the league and got promoted to Blue Square Premier, came second and got promoted to League 2, won the playoffs and is busy is League 1 now 2014 - 2015 season and not doing bad. Now I like to change a lot so started with a whole bunch of new free transfers, and change them as soon as I can. Have not bought a single player yet, just negotiate good wages.
But now I am thinking of going on a holiday for 10 years and start with my favorite team Man United.
maybe that is what you should try.

I don't want to go with the best team/s of each contry e.g.-Portugal: Benfica or Porto; England: Chelsea, Man United / City or Arsenal..., I would like to go with a team that has a medium reputation (3 - 4 stars) with an average stadium, (between 17500 / 35000 capacitiy) and finaly with an average squad, not to strong because on my first seasons I want an hard competition, but on the future I want to take the team to have a good performance in the national championship and win the Europa League, and later to win the Champions League in the same (or not) team. (I already made a list of players that I will trie to buy)
Here is a list of clubs that did:
-Werder Bremen
-Shaktar Donetsk
(If you have any clube suggestion please subscribe)
