MVP Baseball is a baseball game series published by EA Sports. In 2003, it became the official successor to EA's long-running Triple Play Baseball; however, it bore little more than a graphical similarity to that series, which had been much maligned in its final years.
Until 2005, the game featured all players in the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), as well as fictionalized counterparts for players who are not in the union, such as Jon Dowd in place of Barry Bonds. In an interesting note, John M. Dowd happens to be the name of the prosecutor during Pete Rose's trial for betting on baseball, which led to his banning, ironic in the light of Bonds' recent problems.MVP Baseball 2004 featured a unique addition to any baseball game, allowing users to play as the Minor League affiliations of Major League teams, a feature that was expanded in the following year. The game featured Randy Johnson, Miguel Tejada, Albert Pujols, and Manny Ramírez on its cover. Of those four, Tejada and Pujols have won Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards during their careers, and the other two have been named MVPs of a post-season series.
In 2005, in response to EA Sports' exclusive license with the National Football League and ESPN, Take-Two Interactive signed an exclusive third-party licensing contract with Major League Baseball (MLB), MLBPA and MLBAM to produce MLB games. The agreement, which runs from Spring 2006 to 2012, allows for the console manufacturers Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to produce MLB titles for their respective platforms, but bars third party developers such as EA Sports from continuing or developing their own MLB games. As a result, the MVP Baseball series now features college baseball, with MVP 06 NCAA Baseball having been released in late January 2006, and MVP 07 NCAA Baseball in February of 2007.
Pitch meterEdit
Upon its release in 2003, one of the game's most inventive aspects was its pitch/throw meter. Until then, most baseball games' pitching schemes required players simply to press the button corresponding to the pitch they wanted to throw, and hold the button down for a certain length of time to determine how hard the pitch was thrown. In MVP Baseball, the player first holds down the pitch button (or throw button) to judge the power; once the desired power level is attained, the player must release the button and attempt to tap the same button within a target area. The closer the player gets to the target area, the more accurate the pitch or throw will be. While innovative within the field of baseball games, EA in fact adapted this feature from golf games, which often feature a meter to determine the power and accuracy of shots (ironically, golf games largely abandoned shot meters around the time that MVP Baseball introduced it).
Like all recent EA Sports games, the soundtrack to each MVP Baseball title contains licensed songs, called EA Trax. The MVP Baseball series typically featured alternative rock, ranging from mainstream artists like Sum 41 to indie acts like stellastarr*. The games featured several minor hits before they became popular such as C'mon C'mon by The Von Bondies which is also used as the theme song for the TV show Rescue Me; and We Got The Noise by The Donots.

Billie Star – To Lick Or Be Licked
Released: November 4, 2013
As the cameraman was attempting to get lucky with Billie Star in the jacuzzi the night prior, he found out that the Czech hottie had a kinky thing for feet, so he brought her in for a fetish casting to showcase her sexy stems and skilled peds. Whether she likes toe licking for herself or on others depends on the situation she tells us, but she certainly has the agility to footjob anytime. And from the looks of it, she's stroked cocks as big as a horse with her pretty feetsies. Let's hope for our persistent cameraman that he gets lucky next time!

I love when our Brownie and Girl Scout neighbors come to the door selling cookies. Though my kids love Thin Mints, I'm a sucker for those chocolate dipped cookies topped with caramel and coconut. It was time to attempt some Homemade Samoas!
Homemade Samoas
I won't deny grumbling to myself when painting caramel on the shortbread rings, then patting sticky caramel-coconut mixture over that. Or when I tried to pipe straight chocolate lines over the surface of these gems. These homemade Samoas did require a bit of fiddling that might have pushed me over the edge had the outcome not been so fantastic. These are BETTER than the Girls Scout Samoas, much better. Plus, they are dangerous to have around!
The Process
These cookies were made in three different steps. First was making the donut shaped shortbread cookies. Not too tough, but finding the right cookie cutters took a little trial and error. I ended up using a 2 inch round biscuit cutter and then a large metal piping tip with about a 1-inch diameter. I baked these up one day and finished them the next by adding the topping and adding the chocolate flourishes. The bottoms were dipped in dark chocolate, then that same chocolate was drizzled over the top to imitate the look of the classic Girl Scout cookies. I gave these away as fast as I could as I know my willpower would flounder in their presence. Everyone who tastes these gems sang their praises. Sheer bliss.

You May Need:
Half Sheet Pan, 13″ x 18″
Parchment Paper Baking Sheets
French Rolling Pin
- ½ cup butter (1 stick), at room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ cups coconut. Angel flake, toasted (bake on parchment at 350º for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes so it won't burn)
- 7.5 ounces soft caramels
- 1½ tablespoons milk
- 4-6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (or use dark melting wafers)
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients, then Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough to about a ⅛-inch thickness. With a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as you can. Place on baking sheets. Using a smaller cookie cutter (about 1-inch diameter), cut out centers to make donut shaped cookies. Reroll scraps of dough and continue to make as many cut-outs as you can.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are very lightly browned. Remove the cookies to a wire wrack to cool completely.
- To make the topping, first put the caramels and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Zap at 30-second increments, stopping and stirring in between, till caramels are almost totally melted. Remove from microwave and the small bits should melt from the residual heat.
- Put the toasted coconut into a large bowl and add about ¾ of the caramel, mixing until combined. Set aside.
- With the remaining caramel, paint on a thin layer on a cookie to use as the "glue" to attach the coconut topping. With your fingers press on some of the coconut mixture to cover the top of the cookie base. Repeat with the remaining cookies, gently reheating the caramel if needed.
- Let cookies solidify for an hour or so, then gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate or melting wafers in a small bowl. Dip the bottoms of the cookies into the chocolate and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet to dry. Use remaining chocolate to drizzle chocolate over the top of the cookies. I used a quart sized zip-topped back with a corner cut off as a piping bag. Let rest until chocolate is firm.

There is little doubt about the fact that selfies are the rage, and while Ukraine may be in the middle of a bloody internal conflict, its people still manage to find the time to pose for one.
While the government in Kiev has issued a combat alert and Russia has sent thousands of troops to Crimea – a Ukrainian peninsula – people and soldiers in the embattled region are busy taking self portraits and posting them on Instagram.
Arseny Yatseniuk became the new Prime Minister of Ukraine last week, thereby taking control from pro-Moscow Viktor Yanukovich.
However, the transition of power to a pro-European Union government didn't sit well with people who prefer integration with Russia than with the West.
Subsequently, both the groups clashed, spreading unrest throughout Ukraine.
In order to deal with the "extraordinary situation" in the country that "threatens the lives of citizens of the Russia's compatriots", Putin asked his parliament to approve the use of force in Ukraine.
Recommended: Russia And Ukraine At War: Here Are Some Facts You Should Know
In the pictures below, pro-Russian government Ukrainians are posing with Putin's troops for selfies.
Some of them also wrote captions hope that Russia would intervene in Ukraine.
This one says: SOS!!! HELP!!!
The caption reads: #CrimeaWar # ukraine # delight # peace troops
The man uploaded the photo saying: "We are all good"
"Sweetest guys"
This one's a bit sarcastic. The caption says: "Horrors of occupation In Crimea" although the elderly woman is having a friendly chat – arm in arm – with the troops.
"My personal protection"
"Here they come"
"I am not shy"

the dealer who stands behind its dealsWritten by ncfish on 08/10/12 07:01:50 AM PDT Go back to Sales reviews
Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? No
I used to live in northern Virginia I moved away but still find Herb Gordon the best dealer around for the last 25 years. Herb Gordon puts their internet price up on the screen. I print that off and go to my local dealers and ask them to match. For the last three Nissans I have purchased, this technique has saved me over $5,500 on a juke, $17,000 on an Armada and I can't remember the third amount on the Murano But if you are in NC, simply point out that Herb Gordon is 6-7 hours away. ANd ask them if your time is worth $300 an hour. Thank you Herb Gordon.

[Page H5250] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] DON'T DEFAULT (Ms. EDWARDS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I look across my congressional district and across this country where people have lost their homes, they have lost their jobs, and they have sacrificed their retirement accounts because our fiscal house hasn't been in order, and here today we sit awaiting the opportunity to do for the American people what we ought to, which is to prevent a default, to prevent a default that would result in further sacrificing of retirement savings and jobs and homes across this country. They're really depending on us. I rise today, Mr. Speaker, to say that we have an important responsibility to our seniors to protect their Medicare and their Social Security benefits, to make sure that we're creating opportunities for education for their children, to make sure that we're creating jobs, rebuilding our infrastructure, our roads, our bridges, our highways, our rail systems, and we haven't done our job. So, Mr. Speaker, I say it's time for us to stop the silliness, to prevent the default, and to get on with the Nation's business. ____________________

Live By Night – Trailer & Poster
The first trailer for Live By Night has been released, aswell the first poster. I uploaded the English and Portuguese versions.
Based on the novel by the same written by Dennis Lehane, the prohibition era thriller, Live By Night has been adapted for screen and directed by Ben Affleck.
The film also stars Zoe Saldana, Elle Fanning, Sienna Miller, Brendan Gleeson, Scott Eastwood, Chris Cooper, Titus Welliver, Anthony Michael Hall, and Chris Messina. Live by Night opens in theaters on January 13, 2017.
Live By Night gets a new release date
Live By Night, written, produced, directed and starred by Ben has had it's release date changed to January 13th, 2017.
It's been four years since Ben Affleck's Best Picture-winning Argo landed in theaters, and if you've been eagerly awaiting his directorial follow-up, good news, the wait just got a lot shorter. The prohibition era crime thriller Live by Night was originally slated for a prime, awards-friendly October 20, 2017 release date, but Warner Bros. has bumped the film up nine months to January 13th, 2017.
It's an interesting move considering the original release date screamed awards contention, mirroring that of Argo, which landed in theaters on October 12, 2012, and leaving room for fall festival debuts and a significant campaign period. However, it's still possible that Warner Bros. will position Live by Night as awards player by giving it a limited release in December of 2016. As we saw last year with The Revenant, arriving super late in the year does nothing to hinder a film's buzz factor come Oscar time.
Affleck wrote, produced, directed and stars in the adaptation of Dennis Lehane's 2012 crime novel of the same name.The film also stars Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, Elle Fanning, and Brendan Gleeson and follows the rise of one man from petty thief to the Gulf Coast's most successful rum runner in 1920s Boston.
Affleck proved himself a great fit for Lehane's material with his Oscar-nominated feature film debut, Gone Baby Gone and initially planned to begin production on Live by Night in 2013, but pushed the project back when he got the opportunity to work with David Fincher on Gone Girl. The came a little role called Batman, and Affleck had to push the project back once again to make time for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Affleck finally managed to squeeze into production late last year before rolling into Justice League: Part One, which is currently filming. Basically, he's a very busy dude and at the moment almost exclusively busy with Warner Bros. work, so if the studio opted to juggle his schedule
Basically, he's a very busy dude and at the moment almost exclusively busy with Warner Bros. work, so if the studio opted to juggle his schedule around, it's most likely out of a shared interest in best organizing his time. If they are looking to push the film for the awards trail (and it seems unlikely they wouldn't given the film's original prime placement on the slate), it's possible they want to put the film in contention for the 2017 race so Affleck will have time for things like Batman, Batman and Batman. After all, between filming there will still be promotional campaigns for Justice League and Live by Night, and Justice League: Part Two is still on the docket along with the solo Batman film he's slated to direct.
Elsewhere, Warner Bros. also shuffled up the release dates for a number of other films, delaying The Lego Movie Sequel from May 18, 2018 to February 8, 2019, bumping back Dean Devlin's Gerard Butler-led sci-fi Geostorm to Oct. 20, 2017, to be released in 3D and Imax, and shifting the Owen Wilson and Ed Helms led Bastards from November 2016 to Jan. 27, 2017.
Live by Night Movie Release Date, Reveals, Rumors, Plot and Updates
Live by Night Movie Release Date, Reveals, Rumors, Plot and Updates: Ben Affleck and Leonardo Di Caprio Set to Produce Upcoming Gangster Flick
It has been quite a while since we all watched an old fashioned gangster movie. Well if all goes according to plan, then that is about to change. Coming to theatres on October 7th 2016 is the movie Live by Night. The movie is based on a book by the same name by Dennis Lehane. Warner Bros. have picked Ben Affleck to direct, write, produce and star in the movie. Mr. Affleck who is at now working with the same production house as Batman will have to find time in his busy schedule to bring this project to fruition.
The story is not as intense as The Departed or Gangs of New York but it is a good story nonetheless. Leonardo Di Caprio and Jenifer Davisson are set to produce the movie with Sienna Miller taking up the role of Emma Gould and Zoë Saldana taking up the role with Graciella Suarez.

'Live By Night' Casting Update
Ben Affleck is currently under cape and cowl as the Dark Knight in Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" sequel "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," but he's somehow finding time to keep his Dennis Lehane adaptation "Live By Night" moving along as well. He's just tapped a trio of ladies to play the female leads in the film.
Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana and Elle Fanning have signed up for the film, which will mark Affleck's second Lehane adaptation after 2007's "Gone Baby Gone." The project, set up at Warner Bros., was actually bumped by Snyder's superhero team-up, but it's all in the family as Affleck has found a pretty welcome home at Warner Bros. after making his last three films there, including the Best Picture-winning "Argo."
Lehane's novel is a Prohibition Era yarn and sequel to his 2012 epic "The Given Day." It centers around Joe Coughlin, the black-sheep son of a police captain who gets involved in escalating organized crime. Miller will play an early love interest. Saldana will play Graciella Suarez, a woman Coughlin meets in Tampa as he becomes further embroiled in organized crime. And Fanning will play Loretta Figgis, a sheriff's daughter and aspiring actress who gets into trouble. According to the original Deadline report, that partifular role has been coveted by young actresses in Hollywood.
"Live By Night" is currently set for an Oct. 7, 2016 release.

'The Batman' Solo Movie Rumored for 2019
Ropes of Silicon contemplates on the possibility of when the Solo – Batman movie will be around.
The way we report on movies now makes me wonder just how far in advance studios used to plan their movies. My release date calendar goes all the way out to the May 4, 2018 release of The Amazing Spider-Man 4, but we are well into expecting films in 2017, 2018 and now 2019 that don't have firm release dates, but are widely expected to hit theaters. The latest of these comes from Latino Review, which suggests Ben Affleck's third outing as Batman after Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and an expected Justice League film in 2017, will be a standalone Batman film in Summer 2019, currently titled The Batman.
The site also suggests a probably production schedule that begins with the wrapping of Batman v. Superman at the end of 2014, beginning filming on Justice League early 2015 and once that's finished the screenplay for The Batman will go into development while Affleck finally gets to making Live by Night, which is currently slated for an October 7, 2016 release. Once that's completed everyone will get back together for The Batman in 2017 while all the other DC Comics adaptations are finding their way into theaters at the same time.
Ben Affleck's Live By Night Pushed To 2016
Just when Ben Affleck's directing career began to take off, he landed a part in a little film you may have heard of called Batman vs. Superman. As it turns out, the time Affleck will be spending in the Batsuit has forced Warner Bros. to push the release date of his next directorial effort, Live By Night, from its Christmas 2015 release date to October 7th, 2016.
This news comes as no surprise, considering it would have been virtually impossible for Affleck to play Batman and then attempt to star in and direct Live By Night in time for a 2015 release date. Besides, if they had kept the original date, the film would have been rushed and put together in a haste, so it's better that they have more breathing room now.
Live By Night is a crime thriller based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name, and tells the story of Joe Coughlin, the son of a cop who finds himself slipping into a life of organized crime. As he falls further into the lifestyle, "he journeys from Tampa to Cuba, encounters various dames, lowlifes and more in a tale of revenge and redemption."
The project sounds like a great fit for Affleck, and will mark his second time working off of one of Lehane's novels. The first, Gone Baby Gone, was a strong debut that launched his surprising directorial career. It's a bit sad to hear that we'll have to endure a ten-month delay to see him step back behind the camera again, but judging by Affleck's track record thus far, I'd wager a guess that Live by Night will be well worth the wait.

Separatists call for shutdown in Valley next week
Several separatist groups gave a call for a shutdown in Kashmir Valley on March 23 in support of their demand for handing over mortal remains of Azal Guru.
Srinagar: Several separatist groups on Sunday gave a call for a shutdown in Kashmir Valley on March 23 in support of their demand for handing over mortal remains of Mohammad Azal Guru and Maqbool Bhat to their families.
"A complete strike will be observed on Saturday to demand the return of mortal remains of Guru and Bhat and to protest the house arrest of leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq," Majlis Mashawarat, an amalgamation of several separatist groups, said.
Geelani is the chairman of the hardline Hurriyat Conference while Farooq is the head of the moderate faction.
In a statement here, the Majlis asked college students to stage protests on Tuesday at their respective institutions.
It said civil society and human right activists would stage a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Wednesday in support of the demand for handing over mortal remains of Guru and Bhat to their families.
The Majlis asked the people in the Valley to observe a complete black out on Thursday evening. Lights should be switched off in homes, business establishments and mosques on that day, it added.
Both factions of the Hurriyat Conference, JKLF, Kashmir Bar Association and Dukhtaran-e-Millat are constituents of the Majlis which was formed in the wake of Parliament attack convict Guru`s execution inside Tihar Jail on February 9.
Bhat was hanged and buried inside Tihar Jail on February 11, 1984 after he was convicted for murdering a police officer.

2009 September 29th - questions
Navigation: 20 Questions home | view answers | last week | next week
1 Harold W
Two questions about the forgetful functor from smooth (C-infinity) vector bundles to smooth fiber bundles:
A) Suppose that is a smooth vector bundle (E,B smooth manifolds). Does as a smooth fiber bundle uniquely determine as a vector bundle, up to isomorphism?
In other words, if , are vector bundles which are isomorphic as smooth fiber bundles (via some fiber-preserving diffeomorphism, not necessarily linear on fibers), are they necessarily isomorphic as smooth vector bundles (via some fiber-preserving diffeomorphism, linear on fibers)?
B) Suppose that is a smooth fiber bundle with fibers diffeomorphic to . Can it be given the linear structure of a vector bundle?
2 Critch
Every finitey generated abelian group can be made into a ring, by the structure theorem. What is an abelian group that cannot be made into a ring?
3 Jason F
A) Does ZF (without the axiom of choice) imply that a well-ordering of exists? Why/why not?
B) If we assume a well ordering exists on what other cardinalities can can be proven well-orderable?
4 Darsh
The set S of (isomorphism classes of) compact connected 3-manifolds, with the operation of connected sum, is a monoid. The connected sum is the result of removing an 3-ball from each of and and gluing them along the boundary of this ball (this operation is well-defined up to homeomorphism).
What is a minimal set of generators for this monoid? (In the 2D case, the torus and the projective plane suffice.)
5 Scott M
Is there a good version of Artin-Wedderburn for semisimple algebra objects? (click for elaboration.)
6 Zack
This question is about "approximating" an open set by an open set .
Say is a metric space, connected opens such that (the closure symmetric difference of and is contained in a radius-r neighborhood of the boundary of ... basically, U and V only differ near the boundary of U).
Does there exist a continuous surjection which is "r-close to the identity", meaning that . ?
7 Pablo
The cardinality of {A, B, C,...., Z} can be written in base 10 as 26, in base 2 as 11010. Expressing natural numbers N,M in a certain base has the advantage that there are simple rules for how to express the numbers NM and N+M in the same base. Is there a way to express number using unique prime factorization that still allows you to do arithmetic? Or more generally is there any naming scheme for the natural numbers that doesn't use any sort of base that still allows you to do arithmetic?
For example, one might try something like saying 1 = 1, 2 = (1), 2*3 = (1)(1), 2*5 = (1)()(1), etc. But its not clear how to do arithmetic with this notation.

There is a lot of confusion and misleading information about RGB and CMYK color spectrum among the printing industry, specially by small and medium sized companies who depends of 3rd party service to print the actual product. In this section we will try to break some taboos and provide you all the context necessary to understand how the color structure works and the difference between web-printing and professional print-job.
RGB Palette (Red, Green and Blue)
The Internet, as we know, uses RGB colors. RGB colors have a huge range of colors, IE.: RGB 24 bits is equal to 256X256X256 = 16.777.216 color combinations. The RGB colorspace is perfect to display content with live color and contrast.
CMYK Colorspace : Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black
The CMYK color model (process color, four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself.
CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta,yellow, and key (black).
Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer and press run, ink is typically applied in the order of the abbreviation.
The "K" in CMYK stands for key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black key plate. Some sources suggest that the "K" in CMYK comes from the last letter in "black" and was chosen because B already means blue. However, this explanation, though plausible and useful as a mnemonic, is incorrect.
The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, usually white, background. The ink reduces the light that would otherwise be reflected. Such a model is called subtractive because inks "subtract" brightness from white.
In additive color models such as RGB, white is the "additive" combination of all primary colored lights, while black is the absence of light. In the CMYK model, it is the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, while black results from a full combination of colored inks. To save money on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by using black ink instead of the combination of cyan, magenta and yellow.
RGB vs. CMYK : Practical Use on the Web
As mentioned above, the Internet (and your computer's OS) is based on RGB colorspace. It is impossible to display CMYK on monitors, regardless of mark or quality. From this point, the following problems emerges:
- 1. Color difference while designing or editing products in any software (PC, Mac or Internet based Apps)
- 2. Screen configuration (99% or all users uses manufacture's default confuguration)
- 3. CMYK profile embed on PDF See below some of the most common problems arising due colorspace and screen problems.
Case Study: PDF or JPG provided by the client
Assuming that the media provided is a PDF or JPG with CMYK profile embed designed by a professional with calibrated monitor, let us analyze the following situation. – A customer orders a flyer design which will be sent to printing. After designing the flyer, the artwork is sent to the customer for review. The customer opens his email on his machine (PC or Mac) and replies to the graphic designer that the logo should have a stronger blue color to match his company's flag. After performing the necessary changes, the customer finally approves the work which is sent for print job. After a couple of day, the customer calls the graphic designer complaining that the blue is different from what he saw (in his machine) and it doesn't match his company's color. Problem sources: a. The graphic designer failed to assume that the client will not have calibrated monitor or knowledge of colorspace. b. The graphic designer failed to inform the client about colorspace differences (RGB/CMYK) c. The customer failed in reviewing the job in a non-calibrated monitor
- There isn't a right solution. Printable products will always have the CMYK curse, regardless of color profile.
Experiment: Printing PDF or JPG without and with CMYK Profile
(This experiment requires a calibrated monitor) – On your favorite graphic editor, draw 3 squares, one blue (255), one green (255) and one red (255) which represents the basic RGB colors. Save the document in PDF or JPG and send it to print (home/office printer). – Now, convert the same document to CMKY colorspace. Print it out using your home printer (same printer for both documents). Notice the colors on the two sheets. They should have noticeable differences in colors. Now, let us analyze what just happened.
When you add certain range of RGB colors into a document such as pure blue or green, you are defining the color to 255 on its channel and 0 to the other two channels. That's fine even if
you want to print that particular color. The problem occurred when you converted the document to CMYK. Because CMYK works by mixing 4 colors making the color palette really short comparing to RGB, it will be very likely that the profile instructions changes the blue to a color close to purple. Why? – because there is no formula or mathematic meanings to convert RGB to CMKY with accuracy.
All printers print in CMYK. The proof of that is that, even your printer has 4 to 6 colors on its color deck. So, why RGB are printed with accuracy while CMYK profile mess it up? The answer is simple. The conversion performed by the printer (RIP) is better than the graphic application. To prove this concept, we used Ecomm DS's output data (pdf) and sent the same document to print in two formats: – With CMYK profile embed during Pre-Flight – The PDF output as is, without any modification. For this experiment, we used two renamed printing companies. Documents printed were:
- 2x Business Card 91x61mm 4/4 356dpi 2 sides 300g (CMKY and RGB)
- 2x Post Card DINA6 Quer 105X148mm 4/4 356dpi 2 sides 300g (CMKY and RGB)
- 2x Flyer DINA6 Quer 148X105mm 4/4 300dpi 2 sides 135g (CMKY and RGB)
The results
The results were as expected.
CMKY: suffered some color changes in which affected mostly the blue color but matches the CMYK PDF converted on inDesign using the printing company's profile specification.
RGB: the PDF without profile matches the JPG output* and also the PDF which corresponds to what we designed using Ecomm DS. Undoubtedly, the professional printer has better conversion methods (RIP) than the graphic software's colorspace conversion. * Because Ecomm DS outputs a PDF plus high quality JPGs, we were able to compare the results.
The image below will display different colors depending on your monitor's settings:
Our conclusion
IMPORTANT: We are, in no way, trying to impose our conclusions to you. If you are interested, you should perform the experiment yourself. When it comes down to providing printing products in which a user is allowed to interact with the product (such as Ecomm DS), we found that CMYK profile actually "gets in the way and caused more trouble than solution". CMYK Profile is great when used by graphic professionals and also allows on the view the exact print output (of course, with a calibrated monitor using professional software) but in the web, that just gets in the way. We will always assume that the client is unfamiliar with printing process and has no clue of what CMYK is. We also concluded that there is no solution for screen visualization regardless of settings. There is no standard when it comes down to color fidelity. There will be always the risk of complains about how different the print looks from the digital media. So, if you plan to send your PDF out for printing, do not forget to specify that no ICC profile should be added to the document to avoid color distortion.

The Beasts of Minegarde
About Monster Materials | About Velociprey Breeds | About Felynes | About Insects | About Wyverns 1 | About Wyverns 2 | Lao-Shan Lung
|[Practical Hunting -Wyverns Part 1-]
This section of Practical Hunting will discuss increasing damage when fighting monsters. This information, collected from the important points passed on to beginners by the Hunter's Guild, is worth reading for anyone who wants to take a step up as a hunter.
|In this article I would live to cover the important points of the small wyverns roaming the world like Yian Kut-Ku, Gypceros, and Cephadrome. At this Guild, we like to use our knowledge to help inform beginning hunters on the relatively easy methods of slaying these beasts.
|While they are small and relatively easy to slay, these wyverns should still be treated with the respect the wyvern name deserves. There are many times when negligence can prove fatal, so adequate recover items, support items, equipment, wisdom, and technique are all required to take one of these beasts down.
|No matter what kind of wyvern you face, it is important to monitor their movements and condition to determine the best time to attack. Moreover, if they have a weak point, you should exploit it. If you are faced against a wyvern weak versus light or sound, the Guild will make every effort to provide you with the appropriate provisions.
|Another important point to remember is to never allow a wyvern to recover. If a wyvern is allowed to eat or drink it can recover its strength. Also, if a wyvern is allowed to sleep, it will quickly recover, so do your best to keep the beast from resting!
|Next, let's examine each type of monster in greater depth. The Yian Kut-Ku, with its large ears and beak, is one of the most abundant of all wyverns. At times, their population has been known to explode in a single area.
|The weak point of a Yian Kut-Ku happens to be their large ears. If you can set off a loud noise near their ears, it will limit their movements. Sonic Bombs are not the only item that can create these loud noises. Small Barrel Bombs and Crag S are also effective. Since Kut-Ku are also weak versus light, using a Flash Bomb will dizzy the monster.
|When an area is plagued by Yian Kut-Ku, even expert hunters can't kill all of the monsters by themselves. As a result, the Guild will provide all who take these Quests with a Paw Pass Ticket, allowing you to exit the Quest. If you feel that you have reached the limit of your abilities, please deliver this ticket. Of course, you must still slay two Kut-Ku.
|Next up is Gypceros, a monster typified by its sharp beak and large crest. Attacking this crest can release flashes of light. These flashes can be guarded against, but if you are using a weapon without a guard, it is best to try and destroy that crest as quickly as possible.
|Gypceros' most effective weapon is the poison it can spray from its mouth. This poison is more potent than even an Ioprey's, and it can quickly bring about a hunter's last breaths. If possible, you should prepare Antidote. Other Gypceros features are its ability to feign death, its rubbery hide, and its vast material uses in equipment.
|Finally, let's discuss the Cephadrome. Able to swim under the desert sands, and is impervious to the effects of bright flashes. They are, however, susceptible to sound attacks. By attacking them with sound, you just may cause them to jump out of the sand in pain!
|However, even if you get it to spring out of the ground, don't think you are safe. Cephadrome has the ability to spit sand at high speed, capable of killing a hunter in an instant, and even a simple blow from the beast can be devastating. Its fins also contain Paralysis inducing poison that will numb any hunter careless enough to fall victim.

He also left no doubt that Inamed's skin-care business was the biggest attraction for Medicis. The key to the Medicis bid is the experimental skin treatment, Reloxin, which is similar to Allergan's Botox. When Allergan made its offer for Inamed, it also said it would divest its rights to Reloxin to avoid antitrust concerns. Inamed licenses Reloxin from the French company Ipsen. On Friday, when one analyst asked if Medicis would pursue Reloxin if the Medicis-Inamed deal falls through, Shacknai called Reloxin the "threshhold event" in its romance of Inamed. If Medicis wasn't convinced that Reloxin could be a star product, Medicis wouldn't have made a bid for Inamed, Shacknai said. He also made it clear that Inamed's skin-care business was more of a lure than its breast-implant business. Inamed is dueling with Mentor ( MNT) to get government approval to use
silicone breast implants for cosmetic surgery. Right now, silicone implants are restricted to a few uses, such as breast reconstruction for women who have undergone mastectomies. Mentor and Inamed sell silicone gel implants in foreign markets for cosmetic surgery. They also sell saline-filled implants in U.S. and foreign markets for cosmetic purposes.

Bob Birner, vice president of Amazing Siding, a home improvement company headquartered in Houston, calls Texas "the Holy Land" of fiber-cement siding. Five years ago, he estimates, 5% of the company's siding jobs were fiber cement. Now, he says, "it's the majority of our siding business." Amazing Siding, with branches in other states as well, also sells an acrylic siding product and composite windows.
Onward and Upward
A report on the U.S. siding market issued earlier this year by the Freedonia Group suggests that by 2017 fiber-cement sales will increase to $2.065 million, with a 14% market share, and use of fiber-cement siding "will expand 7.7% annually" in improvement and repair applications. Up to now, much of that growth has been regional, focused in the South and Southwest. Freedonia suggests stronger future growth in the Northeast and Midwest. Peter Martino, marketing manager and project consultant for United Home Experts, in Boston, says that before his company took on the product in 2002, it was "rare" to see a fiber-cement replacement job in Massa-chusetts. But, he says, in the last three or four years, "it's become increasingly widespread as a siding option." So widespread that United Home Experts, on its website, estimates that fiber-cement siding "is approaching a market share of 10% in Massachusetts and other parts of New England."
Slow Market
This year the overall siding market is slower, and contractors have noticed that consumers who have money to invest in the exterior of their home prefer to spend those dollars on windows or a new roof. At Weatherguard Systems, a Wisconsin company that sells gutter protection, windows, and siding, 2009 has been a lean year in the siding department. "We've done one job in vinyl and five or six in fiber cement," company president Jared Murray says. Residential siding customers, Murray has noticed, are those who have "saved and want to upgrade." Last year siding jobs at the company were 60% vinyl, 40% fiber cement.
In the past, home improvement companies tended to offer consumers one product or another. Today many companies carry several products, an arrangement that Birner compares to auto dealerships that carry products from multiple manufacturers. Exterior Home Improvement, in Indianapolis, for instance, offers insulated-vinyl, fiber-cement, or a wood-vinyl composite siding. For companies with fiber cement as a core product, quality installation is the appeal. At United Home Experts, where 80% of jobs are fiber cement, reps show prospects pictures of the company's fiber-cement jobs versus the less-than-stellar installs of others.
Birner guesses that 5% to 7% of Amazing Siding's fiber-cement projects in Houston involve rescuing botched do-it-yourself projects. Typically, the homeowner starts, then realizes what's involved and calls Birner's company to come over and begin again from scratch.

Jerry Azumah will fill in for Walt Harris (Indianapolis via free agency) as the second cornerback. This will be Azumah's fourth year in blue and orange, and after a strong finish to last year's season, he figures to make a relatively fluid transition into the starting lineup.
Mike Green, the last pick in the 2000 NFL draft must step up for the Bears to have success defensively. Green played sparingly last year behind respected safety Tony Parrish (San Francisco via free agency), in limited action he showed flashes of brilliance. Chicago put their faith in Green, allowing Parrish to test the free agent waters, now the Bears starter is Green.
Green played well in limited time last year, but can he carry the load this year? Green is certainly undersized at 6 feet and 176 pounds, but he has the speed to cover receivers like a cornerback would. Green usually played last year in obvious passing situations, this year Green will be an everyday player; can he stop the run?
Should Green be unable to stop the run on a consistent basis, the Bears backups include Damon Moore and rookie 5th rounder Bobby Gray.
During his Bears career, Parrish was known for being able to come up and stuff the run, while occasionally delivering a lick on a receiver across the middle, this year don't expect Green to do the same. Green at just 176 pounds does not have the heft to administer a massive blow like Parrish could, and his lack of size could present a problem in his efforts to stop the likes of Marshal Faulk, Curtis Martin, and Ricky Williams.
Bears camp begins Friday July 26th.

How are on-demand services changing the transportation landscape?
The growth of on-demand transportation options, which include services from Uber to Bridj, have signalled a larger shift in attitudes about how people choose to get around in urban areas.
In many cities, traffic have had it with the crushing traffic that dominates most of our cities, and 3 out of 4 people are frustrated by their lack of transportation options.
Technology, and specifically the large-scale adoption of smart phones, has been the top enabler of this trend – from the on-demand/sharing economy to electric and autonomous vehicles and beyond.

DUI Paralegals, Over 80 Paralegals, Excess Alcohol Paralegals, Impaired Driving Paralegals, Failure to Blow Paralegals?
Can paralegals defend a DUI charge in Ontario?
This is what the Law Society of Upper Canada says at their web site about what licensed paralegals can do in criminal court:
"You have been charged with a criminal offence. Who can represent you?
Lawyers or paralegals can represent you in the Ontario Court of Justice if you are charged with a minor criminal offence, as long as the maximum term of imprisonment for the offence is not more than six months. Examples of this type of offence include causing a disturbance and harassing phone calls. They also include theft under $5,000, and assault and mischief to private property if the Crown Attorney elects to proceed by way of summary conviction, which is a less serious method of proceeding.
Lawyers can represent you on any criminal matter and must represent you if the offence has a maximum penalty of more than six months' imprisonment."
The Criminal Code of Canada in section 255(1)(c) says the following is the maximum penalty for a DUI charge:
"c) if the offence is punishable on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term of not more than 18 months."
Paralegals cannot therefore defend you in DUI Court in Ontario.Only lawyers can defend DUI charges. You must therefore retain a lawyer for a DUI charge, not a paralegal.
