We've been a 2D Autocad office but are getting more questions about doing 3D because clients have seen things on TV. I've done some work in Sketch Up, but it seems that Revit may be a more productive way to go. We need to make the most productive use of our time and designing in Revit seems to make more sense in that we can then turn those drawings into construction documents, whereas with SketchUp it seems like we would just be creating presentation documents and then have to create CD's in autocad or Revit anyway.
When I look at the job descriptions posted here, I see a variety of 3D programs and rendering programs that firms are requiring job applicants to have proficiency in. So I would like to hear opinions about the various programs and perhaps how different firms are using them.
the idea that revit can take you from schematic design, to renderings, to CDs, is mostly marketing from what i've seen. i think the transition towards making that possible is difficult.
sketchup is fairly easy to model in. i'm not really sure how materials work, but to get a good looking render, i'm pretty sure you need a third party rendering plug in. i use 3d max for modelling and rendering because that's what we used back in my day.
If you are already in autocad you can easily just use that for 3d. But similar to curtkram's comment about sketchup, you would want to go outside of the program to make it presentable. Autocad goes really easy into 3ds Max or most other rendering programs.
Also, as was already said, you can also rhino and be fairly comfortable.
It sounds like most of the 3D programs require an additional plug-in or another rendering program to make them more presentable. What we're hoping to do is not design or build something twice. If we can design in one program that can also get us CD's and then import that into a rendering program that's one thing, but creating the design in one program for CD's and also in another 3D program and then importing that into a rendering program is going to kill us on time and resources.
3dmax has the renderer as part of the initial software (if you use mental ray or one of the renderers that come with the package). essentially, these are plug-ins that are part of the package when you buy 3dmax.
with skethcup, i'm pretty sure the renderer will be a plug-in. you don't actually leave sketchup, you just install a third party program that becomes a part of the program.
from my cynical perspective, designing a digital model, then rendering it for presentations, then turning that model into CDs is not a thing that happens. the model and materials for presentation graphics is just too different from a model that might be useful for CDs. what you're communicating and how you're communicating it is just too different. i'm sure there will be someone in here who would say they do this very thing in revit, but i'm still skeptical.
Sounds like you are already leaning towards revit. I like it as the most complete one stop solution. If you have to pick one, I would pick revit. Hard to believe that your clients are seeing this on TV. Maybe I don't watch enough tv...
I never understood the group that trends towards sketchup. I've never liked it very much.
We've heard people mention the show "Property Brothers" a number of times. We looked it up and they use an outside firm to produce their 3D photo realistic designs and animations. Our criticism of these type shows is that many people are expecting to be wowed but don't realize the work and money that went into the presentation that they've seen in a 30 minute program.
doesn't sketch up pro give the ability to do 2d plans, sections, elevation drawings and schedules etc?
I think this has gotta be a dilemma more small firms will face. Clients are expecting to be wowed with something in 3D, but we don't have the time and resources to create a project multiple times in different programs. More importantly, many clients won't want to pay for it.
I think I'm leaning more toward Revit. Maybe V-Ray will come out with a Revit version that we can get something a little more photo-realistic. Yes Sketchup Pro will import dwg files and there is a V-ray for Sketchup , but I don't know you'd want to do CD's from it.
hire an intern and give them sketchup and some drawings... they'll know what to do.
there's no such thing as one program that will produce all your desired results, I recommend you get going with Revit because it is the future quite simple. There are other programs out there no disrespect, but Revit is able to take you from SD to CA phases. The only missing ingredient is you need to find a guy like me, we are highly underpaid, and overworked. The other thing is that Revit is actually quite intuitive and fun, only time it's not fun is when someone wants you to do things their way not the way you know works best, its not autocadd, so dont go into it with that mentality that it is just another autocadd it will really hurt production and kill the fun.
good luck
ps. guys like me, meant that ladies and gents who know the old technologies, and have a passion for inovative tools that help us all out in producing, some folks like me have been using revit since before it was popular to use. So we know its drawbacks, but on top of that we know most of the other tools like 3dmax, sketchup, rhino, of course cadd. Were out here hard to find though. and did i mention underpaid?
How important is it to you that you are the one doing these 3D animations and renderings? Are you charging extra for them? If you are quite confident in the level of detail already present in your 2D files and you are a small firm, I would recommending outsourcing the 3D rendering and animation tasks to any number of people who specialize in this type of thing. It can often be quite cost effective when compared to hiring or training someone new and then getting more software. I would especially recommend this if you are passing on the cost of this to the client as a value added.
If it is important that this happen in your firm and you will be occupying someone almost full time in this type of work, then it you might want to consider something like revit, although I would agree with prior comments that one program that does it all at a high standard can be a challenge.
Before just going Revit, make some research, download and try other possibilities. Vectorworks is good option for the money, but I would recommend to try ArchiCAD. It's a full BIM authoring tool, easy to use, exports great to artlantis (one of the easiest rendering programs), Cinema4D, 3D studio, sketchup... It comes with BIMx... you can send the model to your clients and they can go inside the model in a PC or tablet and move around as in a shooter game. In the next BIMx version (probably october) you would be able to embed 2D drawings to the model.
ArchiCAD and Vectorworks work on PC and Mac.
You have to know that either program you choose (Archicad, Revit, Vectorworks) you are going to have to change the way you work... but you're going to be faster and more accurate.
If you just do residential work... maybe Chief Architect is the right tool for you.
Thanks for the input guys.
If ever I were to start my own firm, paying for a Revit license would be one of my first expenditures. It puts me on the same plane in terms of productivity and level of detail to much bigger firms. The mental-ray renderer within Revit is good enough for most presentation purposes, and the interactive Ray-trace feature on more recent versions give you a reasonably good preview of your final rendering in just a few seconds. The main thing to keep in mind is that it requires you to make important decisions on a project's construction relatively early in the process, something that 2d CAD programs don't force you to do. Therefore you put in the bulk of the work for project during is SD and DD phase, while CDs become a breeze. I've been using Revit more and more during concepts, in particular for its massing tools as well as for colored area plans, which work well with Revit's scheduling functions (I can get gross floor area tabulations in real-time as I change the massing).
Sketchup is pretty much what it's name suggests--sketching in 3d. It's not meant as a drafting program that allows precise dimensioning (though it's possible), but it's very useful in exploring 3 dimensional concepts quickly. And for most regular clients, its visualization quality is passable, What Sketchup has basically done is killed the art of crafting physical cardboard models. Even though I'm a power Revit user, I still use sketchup when I need to some flexibility to explore forms, materials and shadows (and it's free).
What I've been seeing in the industry lately is that many of the design/boutique oriented firms have been transitioning from Sketchup to Rhino. The latter is basically like Autocad with 3d tools on steroids. It has the precision of your typical drafting program with the countless 3d sculpting tools found in 3d Max (it's also quick to learn- it took me a couple of days). Rhino, however, is not parametric like Revit-- you need the Grasshopper plugin to do that.

Thanks for the insight. My questions are both for the benefit of my current firm, but also a little self-serving as I would like to relocate at some point to the west coast and want to improve my skill set and future job potential. I see a lot of firms that are posting jobs on here looking for AutoCAD, Revit, and Sketchup experience along with Adobe CS and sometimes Rhino or V-Ray.
What kind of software you choose to learn has a lot to do with what you plan to do in practice. Remember that when you learn a certain software suite, it will communicate however unjustly to firms what kind of tasks they are willing give you. If you promote yourself as good at Revit, you will likely be hired with producing lots of CDs in mind. If you highlight your Rhino/Sketchup experience, then you'll likely be brought in to do design support and modeling for one of the firm's lead designers. It's one thing getting a job based on your variety of skillsets, and it's another challenge just to do the kind of tasks that you really want to do once you've got the job. Do you want to do concept design on a highly abstract level, or do prefer to be the project architect who relishes technical details and creating drawing sets? The kind of software you choose serve as markers as to what "type" of architect you intend to become.

Have you heard about Ortosoft? They specialise in developing 3D software for various branches, but they seem to be real specialists when it comes to medical stuff. Why not try reaching out to them?
Where did AEC System computer shows go? The way of the witching stick! Smile,
In the 90s I went to their shows every two years to gain knolage about current hardware & software applications. It was a good source as compare to today where one must obtain particular software just to see if its what one is looking for, but this is kind of costly.
Does anyone know of such or similar source of information for updating?

One of the many headlines surrounding last night's National Championship game between the Memphis Tigers and Kansas Jayhawks was UNC Tar Heels Head Coach, Roy Williams, showing up supporting a Kansas turtleneck. And, of course, ESPN made a federal case out of the whole situation, and dedicated an entire show on it (not really, but it sure does sound like ESPN, doesn't it?). Well, in case you have been living under a rock for the past 3 weeks, Memphis collapsed in the last minute or two, missing 4 of 5 free throw attempts in the last 1:15 of regulation. The game went to OT after Kansas' Junior Guard, Mario Chalmers, who played all 40 minutes and scored 18 points, hit a 3-point jumper with 9 seconds to go. Kansas dominated in OT, outscoring the struggling Tigers 12-5, to capture the Title with a 75-68 victory, shocking Memphis and their fans in the Alamo Dome.
So, now that I got that out of the way, it's on to the whole point I wrote this article: To bash Skip Bayless to no end. Skip made his usual appearance on 1st and 10, a show that comes on ESPN every weekday afternoon at 2:30 PM ET. The host of the show, Dana Jacobson, asked Skip, and whoever that was opposite him, if it was "OK" that Williams showed up wearing a Kansas shirt. I have NO problem whatsoever with anyone in the sports world that supports another team at a game (because you never know the whole story, he could be best friends with a player on the team, or he could have grown up a fan), by the way. But, Skip, said it was right for him to do so, saying he was just being anti-Calipari, who made inappropriate comments about some "things". I agree with Skip that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Williams wearing a Kansas shirt, but this is the same guy that said Lebron was stupid for wearing a Yankees hat to a Yankees game. Say what?! Towards the end of the 2007 baseball season, LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers small forward, was seen at a Yankees game in a Yankees cap. So? What the hell is wrong with that?! Well, everyone but ESPN saw it as no big deal, but for some reason Skip didn't like it.
Do not ask me why he didn't like it, because I don't think anyone knows why. LeBron plays a whole different sport, plus, he said in a press conference later, that he grew up a fan of the Yankees. Yet Skip still had a problem with it, and didn't have a very good reason, in fact, I don't even think he really said why he disagreed. I am pretty sure that he is just a LeBron hater all together. He just seemed to hate on him even when he leads the Cavs to a stunning victory in OT, or has back-to-back Triple-double games.
Ok, enough about Skip, let's talk Basketball.
I personally congratulate the Kansas Jayhawks, who I had losing to Wisconsin (who let me down ONCE AGAIN! I guess I won't be picking them to go far next year). Bill Self did a very nice job coaching these guys to a championship, and keeping his composure even after being down 9 with just under 2 minutes to go last night. Although, it did help alot that Memphis seemed to miss FT after FT.
But, not all is well in Kansas today, unfortunately (for them!). Kansas Jayhawk CB, Aqib Talib, who is projected to be a first round pick in this year's NFL draft, admitted to NFL teams that he failed multiple drug tests for marijuana while in College, along with Michigan wideout, Marion Manningham, also a projected first rounder. We shall find out later on whether or not that will affect his draft.
Congratulations Kansas!!!

NOTE: East Carleton, Carleton Forehoe and Carleton St. Peter also exist in Norfolk.
Carleton Rode is a village (population 727) in Norfolk, England, situated approximately five miles south-east of Attleborough. The village is extremely rural and is spread out over 10.91 square kilometres (4.21 sq mi) in the South Norfolk District.
One of the earliest mentions of this place is in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is mentioned amongst the lands given to Roger Bigod by the King. The manor given to Roger included 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land and two churches. The parish has some of the oldest buildings in the whole part of England making it a treasure.
From 1808 to 1814 Carleton Rode hosted a station in the shutter telegraph chain which connected the Admiralty in London to its naval ships in the port of Great Yarmouth.

One of the pleasures of living in Humboldt County is that even if you cannot grow a vegetable or flower garden, you can still have homegrown produce and fresh cut flowers if you visit the Farmers Market in Eureka, Arcata or McKinleyville. Since more than 80 growers will participate this summer, a wide variety of products will be available, all offered with a personal, local touch, according to market coordinator Jane Jackson.
"This year the Farmers Market will be bigger and better with more participants. This means more produce, especially more variety of produce.
"Of course, it being a certified farmers market means that everything offered for sale has been grown by the people you are buying it from. And that means a lot to the consumer. You can ask the grower how it was grown, what kinds of chemicals were or were not used. If you are buying bedding plants or shrubs, you can find out what kind of climate they were grown in. You get to talk to the horse's mouth," Jackson says.
The Farmers Market has grown since its quiet beginnings in 1978 with the formation of the North Coast Growers Association. Sponsored by federal and local grants, a handful of farmers set up a market in Old Town Eureka under the aegis of NCGA. Now, with more than 80 members and a governing board of directors, the NCGA is farmer-run and sponsors two markets in Eureka, one in Arcata and a new one in McKinleyville. The Arcata market opens the first Saturday in May.
NCGA President Cathy Dolinajec has witnessed firsthand the Farmers Market's changes since the early '80s when she was a grower and market manager.
"When we had the NCGA meeting in 1982 and I was market manager, we had three people come to the meeting. Then the Farmers Market almost died, and that was when we officially became the NCGA and became a farmer-run organization," she said.
"The Eureka market had gone off and on through the '70s. I used to shop at it when I lived in Eureka as a student. When it first started it was just vegetable crops, and then a few flower people started coming," she said. "Then it was a really big thing for a farmer to sell a hundred dollars' worth of produce. Now it is just huge, the volume of produce sold along with flowers and nursery stock."
As a grower who has been with the Farmers Market since 1980, Dolinajec says selling at the markets used to be a bit more laid back and personal.
"They (the markets) were a lot easier going. We didn't have to worry about rules and regulations so much. Once the markets started getting bigger, we attracted more attention. Now there are like four or five licenses and permits each farmer has to hang up," she said.
"A few years ago we all knew each other. All the farmers knew each other really well and now it has gotten so big that I don't know all the other farmers like I used to."
But more growers means more markets. This year Dolinajec says the market is expanding by offering a market on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the McKinleyville Shopping Center starting in June. Last year a McKinleyville market was sprouted, but it fizzled due to lack of support by growers and the community.
"It started out really well, and then it dwindled quickly," Dolinajec said.
"This year we are really going to focus on McKinleyville. We have farmers that say they are committed to going and we (NCGA) are going to commit a fair amount of our advertising and promotional budget. This is the only market that can really expand and grow, so we are hoping that it will become another outlet for the new farmers because the Arcata market has reached its limit," she says.
Jackson has high hopes that the McKinleyville market will succeed.
"The McKinleyville market will kick off on Saturday, May 27, on Kinetic Sculpture Day (because the Arcata Plaza will not be available that day). We are going to have a band, and we are going to try and get as many growers as we possibly can fit and really have a celebration, a grand opening for McKinleyville. Then after the 27th we will open the McKinleyville market in June on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m."
The success of this market depends on the cooperation of farmers and McKinleyville residents, says Jackson.
"We are really emphasizing getting our growers out there this year, and we really need a strong response from the community because once the growers do show up, and they bring their products, if there isn't the consumer there to purchase it, the grower doesn't have any options. Once that tomato is picked and not sold, it soon becomes compost.
"We (NCGA) are very interested in McKinleyville as a community and we want to support them so that they can get the freshest possible product on their tables and in their gardens," she says.
To the community, it doesn't matter how big the Farmers Market becomes, there is still a personal touch, says Dolinajec.
"The community knows their farmers and (the market) also keeps them in touch with what it takes to grow the produce. So many people get so removed from their foods. With the Farmers Market, the people get to know us and they can ask what we do to our crops, even if a farmer is not organic.
"The Farmers Market can be a real personal environment. And we provide fresh produce and varieties that you wouldn't find at the store. And it keeps money in the county," says Dolinajec.
In addition to offering fresh produce and nursery stock, farmers also spend money in the community by supporting North Coast merchants, Jackson says.
"Arcata does real well with 50 farmers in town with their families. They do all their shopping and eating, and then all the market customers come to town and they do their shopping and their eating. It is just a real boost. That is what we are trying to get McKinleyville to understand."
The Arcata Farmers Market opens Saturday, May 6, on the Arcata Plaza. The Eureka Mall Market begins in June on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Old Town Eureka market opens in July on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
PLANT VEGETABLES -- Sow seeds of warm-season vegetables like summer and winter squashes, cucumber, corn and beans. Set out herb transplants and tomatoes.
PRUNE -- With thumb and forefinger tip-pinch perennial bloomers like geraniums, fuchsias, marguerites, tall growing marigolds, snapdragons and zinnias to induce bushiness. Tip-pinch rhododendrons and azaleas to keep them shapely. Remove old faded trusses from rhododendrons.
PESTS -- Bait, trap or hand pick slugs, snails, sowbugs and earwigs. Another garden pest to watch out for is the spotted cucumber beetle. It looks like a ladybug, only it is green. Hand pick or spray with insecticide.
SPRAY -- Roses, beans and many other garden plants are susceptible to aphids when the weather gets warm. Spray with insecticidal soap weekly if a problem arises. If green cabbage worms are bothering broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, spray with Bacillus thuringiensis.

Demi Lovato vs. Pink – Pop Clash
UPDATE: Pink won! Vote in the next Pop Clash poll here.
In one of our closest battles ever, Demi Lovato ousted Little Mix to become the reigning champ of Pop Clash! Can she hold on to the title for another week? Her song 'Made in the USA' is up against Pink's 'True Love.'
Demi goes all-American with her patriotic 'Made in the USA.' The singer showcases her signature powerhouse vocals while telling her man that she'll get him back — no matter what it takes! Throw in a Chevy metaphor and we're sold, Demi.
This week's challenger, Pink, teamed up with another sassy songstress — Lily Allen — for her new track, 'True Love.' The song hits pretty close to home for the singer (the video even features her daughter, Willow!), but we think that makes it all more relatable. "No one else can break my heart like you," Pink belts. Sounds like true love to us!
So, which song do you like best? Vote for Demi Lovato's 'Made in the USA' or Pink's 'True Love' below! You can vote once per hour until the poll closes at 3PM ET on Aug. 5. Good luck!

Rules of Pop Clash: The artist and song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a different challenger the following week. If an artist wins four weeks in a row, they will be retired into the Pop Clash Hall of Fame in order to give others a chance to compete.

Britney Spears debuts 'Womanizer' video
Britney Spears debuted her new video for "Womanizer" today and the song definitely benefited from visuals. And, Jesus, the visuals. Here's what to except from this thing conveniently lodged after the jump:
1. Naked Britney. And I didn't cry!
2. Lingerie Britney cooking eggs. Her real specialty: Flaming bowl of Lucky Charms.
3. Britney photocopying her ass then punching said photocopy. I didn't know this was autobiographical…
4. More Naked Britney. Again, no crying.
5. Cocktail Waitress Lap-dancing Britney. I think this video has exceeded its head-whipping threshold.
6. Britney driving a car with her foot while having sex in the backseat. This explains all those accidents.
7. Showering Britney. I'm gonna need a minute.
8. Crazy Vengeful Lingerie Britney. Yeah, make the bed over him. Guys hate that!
9. Naked Britney. Oh, I get it. She's the narrator. Ha! Gonna need another minute…
10. Words. In a Britney Spears' video? I guess – if you wanna be "artsy."
Is Britney Spears back? Frankly, it felt like she never left. No, seriously, she can't be killed!

Art of the Heist
Went with 3 other friends. This was our first escape room experience. Had a total blast, being locked in real jail cells was just crazy, and the puzzles were just the right level of challenging but not cheap. Hints were also dolled out in low pressure and not total-give-away manner (which if done wrong could have really ruined the sense of accomplishment). I thought the after escape recap was really well done too as it was interesting to see what we missed or could have done differently. Definitely planning on trying more escape rooms in the area now! – Jasper R
You think getting out of jail is easy? Think twice. Being locked up in this real cell was an incredible experience….while I was trying to solve the enigmas we were presented with, I laid on the cold steel bed and thought of the many people that must have spent the nite there wondering about life behind bars. It gave me the chills but also motivation to work hard and trying to escape smile emoticon. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It doesn't get more real than this.
Gamekeeper did a good job at easing us into the game and put us in the right mindset. Their setup is very good and professional and fun is guaranteed. – Andrea Cesaro
Hall of Fame
The Fine Print:
All bookings are final. There are no refunds. Cancellations must occur at least 7 days in advance for a credit to reschedule your session. PLEASE arrive promptly otherwise game time will be reduced! Each session is made up of individuals and groups. If you do not book a full session, you could possibly work with other participants as a team.

Pirelli Winter Sottozero
Initial Review: 5,200 miles on tires
March 14, 2013
No tire alone will stop on ice but this was pretty decent on some very solidly frozen interstate. Travelled through two snow storms up to six inches on the road and held up quite well without losing control. All with a rear wheel drive vehicle. Tires gave you the confidence to climb hills in snow. I'd recommend these tires if expecting snow.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/8/2013 (1481 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The company that owns the Winnipeg Free Press, Brandon Sun and other Manitoba publications has bucked the trend in the North American newspaper business and posted an increase in profits for the second quarter.
FP Canadian Newspapers Limited Partnership (FPLP) recorded net earnings of $4.3 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2013, up 13.5 per cent from last year.
Revenues for the quarter were $27.3 million; a slight decline of 2.6 per cent.
The company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) -- the gauge most industry officials watch closest -- was up 6.5 per cent for the quarter to $5.7 million.
FP Newspapers Inc. -- which owns securities entitling it to 49 per cent of the distributable cash of FPLP -- reported earnings of $1.5 million, an increase of 15.4 per cent.
Shares in FP Newspapers Inc. closed up two cents on Friday to $5.10, nearing the 52-week high of $5.24.
The results for the company -- which also owns the Carillon of Steinbach, the Carberry News Express and Canstar Community News, the publisher of six community newspapers in the Winnipeg region -- are in stark contrast to recent results from other publicly traded newspaper companies in Canada.
For example, whereas FPLP had a 6.5 per cent increase in EBITDA for the quarter, the media segment of Torstar Corp., publisher of the Toronto Star and other papers, posted a 13.3 per cent decline and Postmedia -- publisher of a number of metropolitan papers across the country including the Ottawa Citizen, the Montreal Gazette and the Calgary Herald -- had a 9.3 per cent decline in EBITDA for the same period.
Free Press publisher Bob Cox said although the company did generate an increase in earnings, it was largely because of careful cost-cutting measures as there was still a slippage in revenue.
Advertising revenue at FPLP for the quarter was $18.1 million, down 4.6 per cent from the same period last year. In comparison, print advertising at the Toronto Star was down 13.7 per cent in the second quarter.
Circulation revenue at FPLP was down 4.3 per cent in the quarter to $6.7 million and digital revenue was up $200,000 or 31 per cent.
Operating expenses were down 4.6 per cent to $22.6 million, partially due to fewer employees and an 11.1 per cent decline in newsprint costs.

BMW has announced that the launch of the 2011 BMW 5 Series Sedan marks the first time BMW's entire product line is equipped with standard digital HD Radio Technology entertainment systems.
Most of the 2011 BMW model lineup featuring the upgraded technology started production this month and will be available at dealerships by June 2010.
BMW was one of the pioneering automotive OEMs to embrace HD Radio Technology by providing the entertainment upgrade as an option in select models in 2006.
Since then, BMW has continued to expand its commitment by adding HD Radio Technology to more vehicles in its product lineup – and in 2007, BMW became the first automaker to offer factory-installed HD Radio receivers as an option across its entire product line, including the 3, 5, 6 and 7 Series, and the X3, X5 and Z4 models.
In November 2008, BMW tested and validated the capability for broadcasting real-time traffic information via HD Radio stations.

In the first two Developer Diaries for Brink, Game Director Paul Wedgwood introduced you to Brink and the team behind it, while Art Director Olivier Leonardi talked in depth about the direction of the game's art style.
In this third diary, Lead Writer Ed Stern explains how Brink's environment communicates the game's narrative.
Here's Ed!
The Writing on the Wall
At Splash Damage, we believe that a game's environment is the best narrative medium we have. Compelling environments allow players to pull in information from their surroundings without having to be held hostage by an NPC lecturing them on The Way Things Were. We knew we wanted to use our game environments to tell the story, so they'd need to be packed with detail.
We created a design goal internally called IDC: Instant/Deep Context. Basically it's the old axiom "Show, don't Tell". If we get IDC right, then when the player looks at a game asset they immediately and intuitively grasp where they are (that's the "Instant" part). And the more they look at the assets, the more the cumulative narrative detail builds up, and the more they see how the game world works and how it came to be that way (that'll be the "Deep").
So, how did we go about creating the story and setting for Brink?

JERUSALEM (Aug. 30)
Among the various creative enterprises that have started up in Israel ever since the country has been under threat of an Iraqi attack is one by an Orthodox kibbutz that is producing what could be considered a sort of disposable gas mask.
Kibbutz Chafetz Chaim, affiliated with Poalei Agudat Yisrael, manufactures various forms of saturated disposable tissues, like the American "Wash and Dry," used for personal hygiene and other cleaning purposes. The trademark is "Bosmat."
The kibbutz is now producing tissues saturated with a solution of sodium bicarbonate — baking soda — which offers some protection against some forms of poison gas in the absence of gas masks.
The kibbutz says each tissue, which comes individually wrapped in a hermetically sealed packet, has a "life" of 10 minutes and then must be replaced.
That means, the kibbutz explains, that if you keep a packet handy, you can feel confident you will come safely through a gas attack unscathed by keeping the tissues pressed to your face until the cloud of gas has dissipated or until you.

General Fall Seed Planting Guide
10 to 15 lbs per acre to fill in where one generally has a lot of volunteer ryegrass every year.
20 to 30 lbs per acre for normal late winter and spring grazing or for making hay.
40 to 50 lbs per acre for quicker fall growth for early fall and winter grazing. This seeding level will produce the most forage for early fall grazing.
Wheat: plant 125 lbs per acre.
Cereal rye such as Maton and Elbon: plant 100 lbs per acre.
Oats: plant 100 to 150 lbs per acre.
The ryegrass of choice is TAM TBO. The reason, TAM TBO has always been either the top producing ryegrass or near the top of every trial at Overton Texas. This make is TAM TBO a very consistent with a low risk forage producer year in and year out in the conditions we have. TAM TBO is a late maturing ryegrass and in good seasons producers have gotten two good cutting of hay in the spring. TAM TBO was compared at Overton two years ago against Maton rye, wheat, barley and triticale. The results were surprising in that TAM TBO if planted early can provide equal to or more forage for early grazing comparing to these crops. This will be very important in 2011 crop year as Elbon Rye is in short supply and is very expensive. TAM TBO has out yielded the old stand by ryegrasses such as Marshall every year. The latest rye grass released is Nelson. Nelson was expected to be a top producer and it is a good producer but TAM TBO has out performed it every year. An excellent second choice to TAM TBO that has been very consistent is Prine. We have used Prine as our second choice if we found ourselves short of TAM TBO and it has done an outstanding job as a very good second choice. Prine is second to TAM TBO on the three-year average. Find out for your self. http://overton.tamu.edu/files/2011/04/AnnRyegrass2010-11Overton.pdf
Turnips; plant .75 lbs per acre in a blend or plant 3 lbs per acre by themselves. For best results, turnips need to be planted when the soil is still very warm. Turnips are cheap and are the fastest to provide available forage to graze. .75 lbs of seed per acre has the potential of providing up to 1500 lbs of dry matter per acre with in a month after planting.
Early grazing seeding recommendations: Early September.
Disk and then drill 75 lbs of oats per acre
Then put down the recommended fertilizer with the following seeds: .75 lbs of turnips, 20 lbs of crimson clover, and 45 lbs of TAM TBO. Be prepared to spray for armyworms. The top recommendation is a combination of 3.84 ounces of Lambda-Cy LE2 and 1 ounce of Dimilin 2L, this should give good extended control, a license is required for these products. The second recommendation would be one quart of Sevin SL per acre. It is best to strip graze the turnips. After the turnips are grazed off the oats should be big enough to graze. Then following the oats the crimson clover and ryegrass should carry you through till late next spring, of coarse providing we have good growing conditions with proper available nutrients.
Some may not want to apply the fertilizer with the ryegrass, turnips and clover because they feel that the warm season grasses will compete with the new seedling getting established. This is true especially if you do not disk and it is still warm. But if it is early and still warm and you do disk, you will set back the warm season grasses therefore the warm season grasses will not be competing with your little seedlings. And when it does rain, these little seedlings will have the needed moisture and the needed nutrients to get established faster and therefore quicker grazing potential. Now, if you have waited until after September 20th I would prefer to put the seed and the fertilizer out together as the nights are starting to cool and your warm season grasses are not going to be competing very much at this time.
To increase seedling vigor and getting fast establishment of plants we have a product called Seed Coat. Seed Coat is a proprietary blend of organically complex nutrients and is specifically designed to enhance seedling emergence and plant growth. We are getting very good testimonies about this product. Because we are short forage and moisture, we need to give our plants every opportunity to perform we can to take advantage of all moisture and growing time. Application rate is 4 ounces per acre at a cost of around $3.25 per acre.
Crimson clover is the best annual clover that can compete well with mixed blends of seed such as ryegrass. Crimson clover provides excellent forage for both grazing and making hay. Crimson clover; is the easiest clover to grow, has the best ability to come up through a thick thatch, can grow in most soils, can provide up to 120 lbs of nitrogen per acre. Seed back is generally very poor. Seeding rate is 20 lbs per acre.
Arrow leaf, and Apache are good clovers for grazing late spring and if let go for hay they will make coarse hay due to the large stems. One could expect 80 to 100 lbs of nitrogen from these clovers per acre. Seed back is fair. Seeding rate is 10 lbs per acre.
Ball Clover can grow in both sandy loam soil and hard tight soils. Ball Clover is an excellent annual clover with great reseeding ability. Ball clover works well in warm season grass pastures, therefore if you have these pasture you really need to plant ball clover. One planting of 3 lbs per acre can last for several years. Ball clover will provide excellent early spring grazing, which will help cut down your supplement and hay bill. Ball clover can put down about 80 lbs of nitrogen.
White clovers such as Durana and Patriot clovers are perennial clovers that can take very heavy grazing. Soil pH should be well above 5.5. Make sure that there is little or no thatch. If seeding with ryegrass, plant no more than 10 lbs of ryegrass per acre, as the ryegrass will shade out the clover and then keep the cattle on it to keep the ryegrass ate down. These clovers prefer sandy loam to tight soils, although with good management they will grow in sandy soils. These clovers do very well in pastures and after they are established they will put down up to 150 lbs of nitrogen per acre. These clovers may be planted into February. It is best to plant after a killing frost. 3 lbs per acre planting rate.
We are introducing several new clovers that show a great potential for our area. These are the Southern Belle clover. It will make excellent spring grazing and can be used for making a great hay crop. If conditions are good, one planting may last two years. It can provide almost as much nitrogen as the white clovers.
The Ocoee clover is a perennial clover if we have normal rain fall in our area. It has a much larger leaf than white clovers, grows taller and is a very high forage producer. If it is to be grazed it needs to be rotated to maintain the stand. This clover should do very well on tight soils and probably can do well on sandy loam if managed properly.
When planting clovers, make sure that the soil pH is at least 6.2, Arrow leaf and Apache clovers do better if the soil pH is 6.5 or above. You can get your soil tested right here at the co-op and get proper recommendation as suggested from Texas A & M. If you do not have a soil test put down 100 to 200 lbs of 9-23-30, this is a 50-50 blend of Dap and potash. It may be beneficial to apply Boron in sandy soils. You can apply both the fertilizer and the clover seed all together.
Which forage has the most protein? If we have inoculated the clovers and other legumes, the inoculating bacteria will feed the plant nitrogen fixed from the air and therefore the plant will have nitrogen to both grow and to make protein with. However, if the clover is not inoculated and the bacteria that are needed for that clover is not available two things happen, first if the soil is low in nitrogen, the plant will not grow very well and secondly if the nitrogen is not available from either the bacteria or from the soil the clover will be very low in protein. On cereal rye, ryegrass or for that matter any other plant if the nitrogen is not there, the plant will be low in protein. It requires 1 lb of nitrogen to make 6.25 lbs of protein. Now, once we have the nitrogen available the protein content is going to be more dependent on how mature we harvest that plant. The younger the plant the higher the protein and the older the plant the lower the protein content will be. Clovers or legumes that are properly inoculated can have a protein content from 18% to 28%. All other plants protein content will be dependant of how much nitrogen was available. That is why testing the soil is so critical. Nitrogen fertilizer is the least cost way of getting protein to your livestock.

Aoi = Kohona jonin?
I don't think Aoi was a Jonin nor Idates sensei while they both where at Konohagakure. During the torture of Ibiki Aoi said only a Jonin could read the scroll. Even the defection would not change Aois rank. And I don't think Aoi was Idates sensei, I think Idate just called Aoi sensei as a sign of respect since Aoi was going to turn him into a chunin.

New York City Hospital Joins National Campaign to Stop the Marketing of Baby Formula to New Moms
With the number of pediatric orthopedists trained to deal with special bone, joint and tendon problems of children dwindling, hospitals rely on general orthopedists to evaluate and treat pediatric injuries, such as fractures. Parents need to be aware of how to get the right treatment for their child's injury...
An HCP is a critical component of any estate plan since, without it, the ability to make health care decisions for you, particularly in emergency and life-threatening situations, can be significantly impeded.

Sprint Gets Touchy With Samsung Instinct
LAS VEGAS Sprint announced its new flagship, touch-screen phone, the Samsung Instinct, on Tuesday at the CTIA Wireless trade show.
The Instinct, also known as the Samsung SPH-M800, looks more than a little like the iPhone. But rather than being a souped-up iPod, it's a platform for Sprint's data servicesstreaming Sprint TV, the Sprint Music Store, and Sprint Navigation, for instance.
The big challenge in mobile technology today isn't pouring more features into a phone; it's making the features more usable. So Sprint hired a UI design firm, Icon Mobile, to create a custom user interface that makes it easy to flip between the device's features, Sprint spokeswoman Michelle Mermelstein said.
"We needed to bring to market a product that has a great UI, and that was job one," she said.
You interact with the 2.17-inch-by-4.57-inch-by-0.49-inch, 4.4-oz Instinct using its 3.1-inch, 240-by-432 touch screen. The Instinct's main user interface is based on a grid of nine large icons, including both iPhone-like features such as e-mail, threaded SMS messaging, and visual voice mail, and features missing from the iPhone like GPS navigation. When you touch one of the Instinct's icons, the phone vibrates in response to give you the illusion that you're pressing a key. Three buttons at the bottom make sure that you can always go back, home, or into phone mode.
Most people will spend the majority of their time on the Instinct's favorites screen, which presents a user-configurable list of favorite options and applications, Mermelstein said.
"People typically do no more than five things every day," she said.
The Instinct uses Sprint's 3G EVDO Rev A network for high-speed Internet access across much of the USA, at speeds around a megabit down and 500 kilobits up. That's much faster than the iPhone's EDGE, though the iPhone has Wi-Fi, which the Instinct lacks. The Instinct can also be used as a high-speed modem for your laptop PC.
The phone also has a 2-megapixel camera (like the iPhone), the Teleca Obigo HTML browser (which isn't as good as the iPhone's in terms of laying out pages, but lets you pan and zoom by dragging your finger), an easy-to-use e-mail client from Seven that can access personal e-mail accounts and also access Microsoft Exchange accounts through the Outlook Web Access back door (which makes it possible to get your work e-mail without your IT department's permission), a microSD memory card slot, voice commands, and stereo Bluetooth for music. The iPhone lacks those last three features.
The Instinct isn't compatible with iTunes. You have to use Sprint's own Media Manager software to move movies and music onto the phone, or drag and drop onto a memory card. Anyway, Sprint has always been more about streaming media through the Internet than about syncing it from a PC the company offers a wide range of streaming radio and video channels, and their selection once got our Editors' Choice for mobile video services.
Yes, yes, I know comparing the Instinct to the iPhone is getting a little dull. But the iPhone defines ease of use on a touch-screen device. If the Instinct's raison d'etre is ease of use, that's the yardstick it's going to be measured against.
Within Sprint's lineup, the Instinct is most comparable to the HTC Touch, an all-touch-screen Windows Mobile phone. The Touch is actually much more complex and powerful, because it's a true smart phone. As a Windows Mobile phone, it syncs with Windows PCs more easily, too. But the Touch is more expensive, and the Windows Mobile user interface seems more fiddly than the Instinct's simplified UI.
The Instinct is based on a Qualcomm MSM6800 chipset, featuring an ARM9 core running somewhere around 200 Mhz. To create the UI, Sprint used Qualcomm's BREW UIOne engine, slapping Java application compatibility on top of that.
The Instinct will be available in June. Sprint didn't announce a price, but said it will be "cheaper than the iPhone," which right now costs $399. For that price, you'll get the phone, two batteries, a charging cradle, USB cable, 2GB memory card, case and stylus. According to Sprint, the 1,000 mAh battery offers up to 5.75 hours of talk time on a charge.

Paris Vintage Shopping
I've a request, I have friend who goes in Paris next month and she asked me where she could find some good adresses for clothes shopping, I gave her the adresses I had but I have no good adresses for Vintage clothes shops, if anyone could help me
exprmtn (current fashion, high fashion and nudity in fashion)/mariemaud (new faces)
Mariemaud, check www.gridskipper.com, they have done a lot of features on shopping in Paris. These are all from the site:
Yukiko, 97, Rue Vieille du Temple 75003 Paris, France 01 42 71 13 41
The very girly Yukiko boutique on the rue Vieille du Temple has an exquisite, well-edited selection of Grace Kellyesque clothes and accessories. Ladies in need of vintage purses, jewelry, shoes, dresses, and other accessories, including fur muffles or a vintage mink vest (pictured), need look no further. Yukiko also produces a small line of vintage-inspired pieces, like a delicate gold chain strung with mink fur pompoms.
Matières à réflexion, 19, Rue Poitou 75003 Paris, France 01 42 72 16 31
At Matières à réflexion on the rue du Poitou, you can find made-to-measure bags and accessories fashioned from recycled vintage leather jackets. Each original, unique, and numbered piece incorporates an original element such as a button or a pocket. And if you're fed up with your own leather jacket, bring it in and they'll turn it into a bag.
Esprit Vinyle, 57, Rue de Saintonge 75003 Paris, France 01 42 71 55 95
At Esprit Vinyle on rue de Saintonge, you can find new clothing, jewelry, and accessories, plus a selection of vintage shoes, boots, bags, and clothes including labels like Chloé, Isabel Marant, Christophe Lemaire, and Vanessa Bruno. The boutique prides itself on selling designer jewelry made exclusively in Parisian ateliers.
Quidam de Revel, 26, Rue Poitou 75003 Paris, France 01 42 71 53 60
An appointment-only vintage boutique in two adjacent storefronts on the rue de Poitou, Le Quidam de Revel sells and rents a mix of haute couture and ready to wear clothing, plus jewelry, handbags, luggage, and objects from the 1920s to the 1970s. Here you can find names like Cardin, Dior, Lanvin, and Pucci, plus a mix of 18th-century and Modernist jewelry.
Mamz'Elle Swing, 35, Rue du Roi de Sicile 75004 Paris, France 01 48 87 04 06
Owner Bérénice offers vintage clothes, shoes, and accessories from 1900 to 1980 at Mamz'Elle Swing on rue du Roi de Sicile. Those not in Paris can order one-of-a-kind items -- like a vintage Hermès scarf or a 1980 Christian Dior bathing suit -- from her online boutique.
Mode de Vue, 53, Rue Turenne 75003 Paris, France 01 42 77 02 88
For vintage and designer sunglasses from the 1950s to the present -- including Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, and Prada -- visit Mode de Vue on rue de Turenne. As licensed opticians, they can also outfit your sunglasses with prescription lenses. Open daily.
Wochdom, 72 Rue Condorcet 75009 Paris, France
A Parisian vintage-shopper's paradise; the name is verlan (slang French method of inverting words to create idiomatic expressions) for show mode. Wochdom outlets across the street from one another specialize in shoes and accessories and (mainly) women's clothing. The decor is done entirely in black, so the clothes and shoes really pop!
Free P Star, 8 Ste-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie 75004 Paris, France 01 42 76 03 72 If you're looking for one-of-a-kind pieces that appeal to the Parisian trendsetters, look no further. One of the neighborhood's better-kept secrets, Free 'P' Star, is a veritable gem of Marais vintage shopping. Not for the claustrophobic, the boutique is cluttered with a broad selection of good pieces. And the prices make this fashionable hideaway more than worth the trek. While the shop might not be as organized as some other vintage spots, Free 'P' Star makes up for it in classic Parisian charm.

Hi everybody
I will be in Paris at the end of this month and I was wondering if you guys know some vintage\second hand shop where you can rent clothes: I'm a stylist and I'm actually planning to organize a shooting in Paris. I don't have much of a budget so any tips for economics shops would be great.

TEL AVIV (Jun. 15)
The conquest of all the Jordanian-held territory west of the Jordan and of the Gaza Strip posed serious new economic problems for Israel today.
Neither the former Jordanian areas nor the barren Gaza Strip are economically viable entities. There are about 400,000 inhabitants in the narrow Gaza Strip. There is no industry there and the only commercial crop is a low-grade citrus which cannot be exported to Europe and previously found its only market in Egypt.
The West Bank area has an Arab population of about a million. It is an agricultural area with no surpluses for export and little industry. A continued interruption with the East Bank -Jordan proper – might cause further unemployment. The only possible sources of income are the new tourist regions such as Bethlehem and the Old City of Jerusalem where the Jewish holy places are now open to Jewish tourists.
As a result of its conquests, Israel now has the responsibility of feeding some 1,500,000 Arabs. There are estimates here today that Israel would have to allocate between $15-20,000,000 a year for the new territories.

Media Release: 23rd June 2014
Halle's 'Cash-Clever' Skills Mark Getwise Money Mentoring Milestone
ASB wants to know what Kiwi kids really think about money as the country's largest youth financial literacy programme, ASB GetWise, reaches the 400,000 student milestone in just under five years.
North Auckland school pupil Halle Tapatu aged 10 years old, is the 400,000th student to go through the primary and intermediate school programme since the launch in 2010, and is keen to inspire other kids around the country to share their creative money management tips as part of a new campaign to gather the best ideas from our nation's youngest savers.
From mastering the basics of money management through to learning lifelong money-smart skills for everyday life, the free interactive ASB GetWise sessions have been gearing up the next generation to be money maestros.
Halle says she used to spend all her pocket or birthday money but has learned now to spend some and save some too thanks to her new-found ASB GetWise tips.
"I like to spend my money on clothes and skateboards but I have learned how to save for bigger things," says Halle. "I'm saving up for a longboard and to go to university so I can become a police officer."
Orewa North Primary school Principal Bruce Laws says there has been a significant change in perception of money by Kiwi kids over the years which had made the ASB GetWise programme even more vital for teaching pupils key life skills.
"Not long ago, kids thought money grew on trees because they saw the physical cash often but now it's all in plastic, so it's difficult for children to understand where money actually comes from.
"It's hugely important to lay the foundations in the early stages of children's lives and set them up for when they are older. This is especially relevant given most parents are so busy in this day and age and also because there isn't anything like this in the school curriculum."
"At ASB we are passionate about financial literacy and helping Kiwi kids to learn important money management skills while they are young," says Roger Beaumont, ASB's Executive General Manager of Marketing and Communications. "Since ASB GetWise began back in 2010, sessions have been held in over 55 percent of primary and intermediate schools nationwide."
The ASB GetWise lessons are designed to complement the New Zealand school curriculum and teach practical money-smart skills that students can use in their everyday lives to make financial decisions at any age.
Primary and intermediate schools can sign up to the ASB GetWise financial literacy programme by visitinggetwise.co.nz, calling 0508 GetWise or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
About ASB GetWise
In November 2009, ASB announced the ASB GetWise financial literacy programme a longterm multimillion dollar commitment to help raise the financial literacy of New Zealand school children to a higher level.
ASB GetWise is an innovative financial literacy programme delivered free to primary and intermediate school students across New Zealand, teaching basic money management skills, including establishing good savings habits at an early age.
The programme aims to help New Zealand's young people to make better financial decisions.
Independent, trained facilitators deliver interactive workshops that have been mapped against the New Zealand school curriculum and designed in collaboration with experts in primary education and cognitive development.
Teachers are also provided with resource packs to help them to provide ongoing financial literacy lessons in the classroom at their own pace.
Parents can also find money tips on how they can work with their children on money matters at home at asb.co.nz/GetWise.

New Jackson Signature Soloist Model for Anthrax's Ian
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (March 29, 2011) – Jackson is proud to honor a longtime friend and one of the most dexterous shredders in metal with a new signature Soloist guitar model. Debuting in spring 2011 is the Scott Ian T-1000 Soloist.
Scott Ian is a veritable thrash godfather who has made a living out of pummeling audiences worldwide for decades with his huge sound and formidable chops. He remains the sole constant member of Anthrax, the New York thrash-metal institution he co-founded 30 years ago. Ian also plays in recently formed metal super-group the Damned Things.
Anthrax is one of the "Big Four"—the quartet of seminal U.S. thrash bands (along with Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer) that has electrified the metal world with recent shows at which all four bands have shared one stage for the first time ever. Jackson is very proud to be an integral part of this exciting chapter in metal history, and is hence doubly proud to introduce Ian's new signature model.
Designed by Ian himself and acclaimed Jackson Master Builder Mike Shannon, the neck-through-body Scott Ian T-1000 Soloist is based on the guitarist's '87 Soloist (the one bearing the New York Yankees logo). It comes in single and double Seymour Duncan humbucking pickup configurations. A single pickup model with a Seymour Duncan® Scott Ian El Diablo bridge pickup and the two pickup model comes with a Seymour Duncan® '59 pickup in the neck.
"I always felt the regular Soloist was too small on me," Ian said. "The extra size gives me more low-end oomph. And I went with mahogany and maple because that's what my N.Y. Jackson Soloist from 1987 was made out of, and it sounds great."

My teeth are oddly healthy despite my constant assault on them with sugar and all sorts of anti-teeth foods. Yes at one time even some rocks (I was a stupid kid...).
Concerning the anesthesia I was put under twice, first for a colonoscopy* and second for an endoscopy. I also had my tonsils taken out when I was really young but **** on counting that, I can't even remember the event. With the **** tube the sleepy meds weren't a problem, it was the bile that they forced you to drink the day before that was god awful. That stuff made me ill just looking at it. The endoscopy wasn't bad either, heck I even requested a bit stronger of a dose.
*Interesting side note, apparently Firefox wants to correct colonoscopy to endoscopy.

Warnock quashes sale talks
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has denied he is being forced to sell players in order to raise funds.
By Carla Hilton
Last Updated: 28/11/07 7:25pm
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has denied he is being forced to sell players in order to raise funds.
Ben Watson is one of a number of players linked with a move away from the club sparking rumours connections are trying to cut back on current wages.
Watson has been linked with a move to Reading, with Royals boss Steve Coppell rumoured to be lining up a £1million swoop for the 22-year-old midfielder.
But Warnock says the club are not cutting back and that chairman Simon Jordan is by no means dictating which players the club should sell.
Warnock told the Croyden Advertiser: "Simon wouldn't do that, because it's not in his jurisdiction.
"He would never tell me which players would have to be sold. If I really want to keep hold of a player, then he'll let me.
"I don't think we'll have to sell before we can buy in January," added Warnock. "Though I'm always looking to balance the books."
New system
Meanwhile Warnock has said he will not be extending Franck Songo'o's loan after his month-long stint comes to an end.
Portsmouth winger Songo'o did not even make the bench in Saturday's win over Colchester and does not figure in Warnock's plans despite an injury to Paul Ifill.
"We won't be extending Franck's loan," Warnock told the South London Press.
"We haven't got enough width with Ifill getting injured, so we need to find a system that will get us wins."

I posted this in another thread, but the more I think about it, and how mad it makes me, the more I think it deserves it's own place to discuss the point by itself.
What do you all think about this method of handling things?
There is literally zero one-on-one communication between an individual player and the coach.
The biggest thing that blew my mind regarding this subject is the way O'Brien handles his ever-changing inactive list. He doesn't even have the guts to be the guy to inform the players that it is "their turn" to throw on a suit for the night.
Say it is a home game like tonight starting at 7. The players will usually have a shoot around, or as O'Brien likes to do for some reason, they will have a full practice in the morning before the game. Usually they will be done before noon, and then the players will head home and take a nap or do whatever they do to prepare for a game night. At this point, they still have no idea which 12 are active, and which 3 are inactive.
They return to the Fieldhouse between 4 and 5. When they return, in an incredibly cowardly move, the head trainer will then inform them if they have won the active/inactive lottery for the night.
Not O'Brien. Not an assistant coach. Not any other basketball person. The trainer.
O'Brien is not man enough to be the one to tell them so he passes along the duty to this trainer. He could easily do it during the morning workout when they go over the game plan for the night, or he could easily do it in the locker room when the team returns that night. But he doesn't have the balls, so he makes his trainer do it.

I am sure that most people know this but I am so new to this I can't seem to find out this answer. I have had my tiel about 1 week now and he seems to be flying a lot better than when I got him. How fast do the feathers grow? Or how often should I clip his wings? And since he has just now letting me hold him, how is the best way to clip them? And one more thing, How do you clip the nails on their feet? They are like little daggers.
Thanks for the help.

Body language may spell out victor in tonight's debate
Al Gore sighed in 2000. George H.W. Bush looked at his wristwatch in 1992. Richard Nixon sweated in 1960. Body language contributes to the public's perception of who wins or loses presidential debates.
The physical behavior of John McCain and Barack Obama during tonight's debate "has the potential to be quite significant," said Alan Schroeder, a professor at Northeastern University who has studied TV presidential debates.
McCain likely has practiced keeping his temper in check and his smiles genuine, and Obama probably has modified his head tilts and body leans, said Carol Kinsey Goman, a Berkeley, Calif. executive coach and the author of a book on body language.
"But it's hard to make a prediction because tonight's format will be the first time it's ever been tried," Schroeder said.
What's different about this debate at the University of Mississippi in Oxford is that McCain and Obama will have five minutes to engage each other after answering each question posed by moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS.
"We don't have any historical guides to how candidates behave. It does mean how they treat each other becomes more important," Schroeder said.
McCain, the Republican nominee from Arizona, and Obama, the Democratic nominee from Illinois, will square off beginning at 9 p.m. for 90 minutes of verbal sparring on foreign policy and national security. Each will have a maximum of two minutes to respond to Lehrer's queries. The debate will be broadcast live on most major networks.
"Interactive actions could be uniquely important," said Gordon R. Mitchell, a University of Pittsburgh professor who focuses on the theory of argumentation and directs the William Pitt Debating Union. "With a five-minute free-for-all open discussion, repeated for 90 minutes, it's really going to be dramatic."
A possible Obama strategy could be purposely interrupting McCain to provoke his temper, Mitchell said. McCain, on the other hand, could bait Obama into appearing elitist with Reaganesque quips that diminish Obama's oratorical flair.
During a 1980 presidential debate, Ronald Reagan won favor by shaking his head and responding, "There you go again," to a point made by Jimmy Carter about Reagan's stance on Medicare.
But the ways candidates move mean much more than simply impressing the electorate during a debate, said Karen Kohn Bradley, a public-speaking coach and dance professor at the University of Maryland. She has studied politicians' body language since 2002.
"Those behaviors reveal their attitudes toward making decisions, how well they work with others, if they're solitary or independent thinkers or if they consult others," Bradley said.
She wonders what style each candidate will adopt during the debate. Bradley said both nominees recently have changed their physical demeanors -- which, depending on voters' preferences, could be viewed as positive or negative.
McCain, for example, conveyed himself as a highly stable candidate throughout the primary season by doing things such as taking a wide, grounded stance and gripping the sides of the podium.
"Now, he's gotten into swaying in the wind a little bit and looking around, which makes him look more equivocal," she said. "I don't know if this is making his supporters nervous or not. Voters drawn to him for his solidness might be concerned."
Until recently, Obama "wandered" while on a dais and "stared off into distances" while other people spoke.
"Some people interpreted that as attuning and listening to those around him," Bradley said. "Others saw it as he doesn't have a position. Well, we've seen that change. Now, he takes a stand. That could make his supporters very nervous. Now that they know where he stands and they may not agree with him."
The most crucial strategy is to radiate confidence, calm and strength, said David Lanoue, an expert on presidential debates who chairs the political science department at the University of Alabama.
"Do the things your mother always told you to do," Lanoue said. "Be as natural as possible. Stand up straight. Look at the people you're talking to -- in this case, the American people."

Mediaeval Baebes Christmas Carol Tour
Pulling lyrics from mediaeval texts and setting them to original scores using mediaeval and classical instruments, whilst singing in an impressive array of long forgotten languages, the Mediaeval Baebes offer a unique musical beauty and outstanding talent. Their choice of mediaeval texts are dramatic, obscure and dark in topic and remark upon the inevitability of death, the pointlessness of material possessions, the horror of unrequited love or the dangers of imbibing too much alcohol. Some themes are timeless!
Twenty years later, these fair maidens have placed three albums into the top of the classical charts and their contribution to the BBC production of The Virgin Queen resulted in a deserved Ivor Novello Award for best television soundtrack and they can now be heard singing the tittle track to the hit TV series "Victoria"
Of their "Kings and Angels" Christmas Carol album Billboard USA said "Perhaps the ultimate middle period Christmas album" The Times UK said "Their version of Good King Wenceslas complete with crumhorn and hurdy-gurdy is simply too appealing to resist"
