Thanks for the comment. How does this mockup influenced zelda? I think it would be it inspired by the 2-D side scrolling segment of Zelda 2 for the Nes.

This art is amazing. It's even more amazing that you have two submissions on the front page at the same time.
I didn't expect my art to be featured yet I still make art for fun and unique in quality. Thanks for the comment anyways.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Most excellent
Damn, I hadn't even caught whiff of that Kickstarter (hence unsuccessful). I don't know why they need $8,000 to make a 10-minute cartoon, but whatever.
Anyway, this looks really neat-o. Very good job capturing the 16-bit (or 32?) look. Everything is simple and works well. The lives heads could have been a bit bigger, though, cos it looks like you need to search for them. Nice job on Bob's highlights while firing the fish. Alfonso could have used some dramatic lighting/shading akin to Dragon Ball Z during his super saiyan form there. Also a smoke effect from the ground where the laser hits. That's all I can think of. Good job and long live Eskimo Bob.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I've should've polish it a bit of what you metioned before I upload this art.

I walk downtown, my black wallet in hand. I've been invited to a Mardi Gras costume party, and now I need to find a costume. Mardi Gras is tomorrow, and all the good costumes are taken. As long as I don't end up in a chicken suit, I don't really care what I get. I head down a side street, to a large speciality costume shop. For some reason, before I get there, I turn down a dark alley and onto a small dim street. It is rather creepy, but, oh well. I notice a door across from me and I walk in.
My voice echoes through the small shop.
"You don't need to shout." I jump and swivel around. An old man, bent with age, stands hunched over an elaborately carved cane. "What do you need? I s'pose you want a costume?"
My voice catches in my throat, and I barely manage a small nod, accompanied by a squeak. The old man totters into a back room and returns with three packages. The first is a bright blue and yellow frilly dress, covered in bows. The mask is beaded and looks like a butterfly. The second dress is brown, and looks like faux fur. It is accompanied by a small, eyeglass-like mask.
Finally, he takes out a black, slim dress. Along with it is a shimmery feathered black cape. The mask looks like bird wings. I know which one I want.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves first year head coach Hugh Freeze is looking to lead his team to a Sun Belt Championship. That journey begins Thursday morning at 9:30am when the Red Wolves hit the field for their first day of fall practice.
Freeze was the offensive coordinator at Arkansas State last year under former head coach Steve Roberts. Following Roberts departure from Jonesboro, a short search ensued, but it was obvious who the man was for the job, and Freeze was promoted to head coach just days after Roberts departed.
As offensive coordinator, Freeze led the Red Wolves to a single-season school record for offensive yardage by gaining 4,841 yards on the season. 2,939 of those yards were passing yards put up by senior quarterback Ryan Aplin. Aplin also passed for 21 touchdowns and rushed for 477 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Article Continues Below
The Red Wolves also expect to see quality play out of junior quarterback Phillip Butterfield as well. Butterfield played in 11 games last season, and added a new dimension to the Red Wolves offense which helped to keep opposing defenses off balance.
Arkansas State will have a solid offensive backfield with running backs Derek Lawson (SR), Sirgregory Thornton (SO), and Jermaine Robertson (SR) leading the way.
Redshirt freshman Frankie Jackson has the potential to earn playing time as well. Lawson led the team in 2010 with 500 yards on the ground, while Robertson gained 348 yards.
The Arkansas State receiving corps is the strength of the team, and despite being in the Sun Belt Conference, could be one of the top groups in America.
The group was led by senior Dwayne Frampton last year. Frampton gained 738 yards while scoring six touchdowns on 69 receptions. Senior receiver Allen Muse gained 635 yards and five scores on 42 receptions, while junior Taylor Stockemer picked up 560 yards on 34 catches with five touchdowns.
Despite having a good core group of receivers, the Red Wolves could look to underclassmen to fill some key roles. Look for incoming freshmen Artez Brown and Kyle Coleman to potentially get a shot at early playing time. Basmine Jones and junior college transfer Joshua Jarboe are two other receivers which could play a key role in fall camp, and ultimately later on during the season.
The biggest question on offense is going to be on the offensive line.
With the exception of senior Tom Castilaw at center, the Red Wolves will replace everyone up front. The team received a blessing when the NCAA granted Castilaw another year of eligibility following a season-ending injury early on in 2010.
Senior Delano Moore has game experience at the left tackle position, but other than Castilaw and Moore, Arkansas State will rely on several junior college transfers to fill the remaining three positions. Players expecting to earn reps in fall camp include senior Alex Kautai, redshirt freshman Alan Wright, junior Eric Allen, junior Zach McKnight, and senior James Williams.
Look for junior Kedrick Murry to lead the way at tight end, while junior Andre Smith looks to start picking up reps as a back-up to Murry.
Defensively, Arkansas State will have nearly an entirely new look. Veteran defensive coordinator Dave Wommack was hired by Freeze to help bring in a coordinator with invaluable experience.
"We are going to be very multiple on defense," Wommack told ArkansasVarsity.com earlier in the spring. "If you want to see a defense that is just going to sit there and let the offense come to them, then you will not want to come to our games. We are going to attack, and we are going to use players who give great effort with great attitudes to do that."
The Red Wolf defense is led by senior linebacker Demario Davis. Davis had 63 tackles and two interceptions in 2010, and had a great spring in the new defensive scheme. Junior Nathan Herrold led the team with 78 tackles, but is coming off of knee surgery.
Other linebackers to keep your eyes on include senior Najel Byrd, junior Nick Nelms, and redshirt freshman Qushaun Lee, who had a good spring according to Freeze.
The Red Wolves will have experience on the defensive line as well. Seniors Dorvus Woods, Brandon Joiner, Justin Robertson, and Jeremy Gibson all have countless experience, while sophomore Amos Draper had a huge season last year, earning All-American honors from College Football News.
Others to look for on the defensive line include junior Timothy Starson, senior Gregory McCall, junior Ronnell Wright, and senior Jeremy Gibson.
Arkansas State is also sitting pretty in the secondary. One of the most impressive athletes during spring camp was junior Don Jones who returned to the team after a year at junior college.
Others who impressed include senior safety Kelcie McCray, senior corner Darron Edwards, and junior safety Tausean Holmes. Others expected to see quality reps include seniors Jaquan Kilcrease, Adrian Hills, and Graham Bates at safety.
Senior Darryl Feemster and junior Chaz Scales expect to battle for a position at corner.
Freeze also placed a special emphasis on special teams during the spring. Senior punter Neely Sullivent had a great spring. Sophomores Bobby Zalud and Brian Davis had a healthy battle for placekicking duties in the spring which should carry over into the fall.
As with any coaching change, there are always staff shake ups. Several new coaches were brought in to include Chris Kiffin who will coach the defensive line, Tom Allen who will coach linebackers, Grant Heard who will coach quarterbacks, and as mentioned above, Dave Wommack who is the new defensive coordinator.
Coaches retained by Freeze include running backs coach David Gunn, offensive line coach Darren Hiller, defensive backs coach Corey Batoon, tight end coach Maurice Harris, and wide receivers coach Tyler Siskey.
The Red Wolves open up the 2011 season on the road against Illinois on September 3rd.

Delegation committed to securing the future of JMTC at Rock Island Arsenal
The bipartisan, bi-state delegation that represents the Rock Island Arsenal today received assurances from Secretary of the Army John McHugh that the Army currently has no plans to close the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (JMTC) at Rock Island Arsenal. Today's letter was sent in response to a May 26th letter sent by the delegation that called for a meeting with McHugh to discuss their concerns about the cost associated with conducting such a move as well as the impact it would have on the region.
Members of the Iowa/Illinois Delegation -- Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-IA-02), U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Tom Harkin (D-IA) and U.S. Representatives Bobby Schilling (R-IL-17) and Bruce Braley (D-IA-01) -- vowed to continue working with Secretary McHugh to secure the long-term future of JMTC at Rock Island Arsenal.
In his letters to the Delegation, McHugh stated: "Army Materiel Command (AMC) has made no proposal to close the JMTC at this time. AMC, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, is examining every entity within its command structure in an effort to create a more agile and cost-effective research development and acquisitions system. I assure you that we understand the importance of the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center to your constituency in the Quad Cities region and will keep your concerns in mind as we move forward with our review."
The Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (JMTC) is a one-of-a-kind U.S. Army facility which manufactures critical equipment for our troops around the world. The more than 1,700 individuals employed at JMTC specialize in manufacturing artillery, armor, small arms, and mobile maintenance kits for use on the front lines. The JMTC, perhaps best known for howitzer production, operates the Army's only foundry and since 2003 has produced half of all armor for Army tactical wheeled vehicles. Veterans make up more than half of JMTC's highly-skilled workforce.

took a class today to make a fairy dwelling.. there were 4 people there.. here are the photos of our gardens
Well-Sweep Fairy Dwelling
took a class today to make a fairy dwelling.. there were 4 people there.. here are the photos of our gardens
I had one last year inside. I love to do that! You'r are beautiful!
I am not saying which one I made... YET... until you guys tell me which one you like the best
here are some photos of the green house there if anyone wants to see
I love them all.......how charming and how fun it must have been. #4 is probably my favorite.
it was really fun... can't wait to do another one
All four of them are wonderful! What an inspration for neglected baskets. I really love the catalog from Well-Sweep and read it every year like some folks would read a best selling novel. Wish I could go there in person.
I do love going there... I can listen to the owners tour over and over... I always learn something new
the first half of this photo album is from well-sweep from this past summer
Thank you for the new pics. Just spent a pleasant few minutes browsing around.
Hi onewish1,
I think we travel around the same circles, I also visit Well-Sweep and Atlock at least once a year.
I usually visit quite early in the season since my passion is native plants and both nurseries are more likely to have them in late March or early April. ( I also buy from Rarefind Nursery but I usually show up there in August for their Dog Day Sales). As a result I never really see the herb gardens at Well-Sweep in full bloom so I really appreciate your photos of the gardens.
The Fairy Gardens are all lovely and I like different things in different gardens.
In #4 I especially like the added curving wood that is holding the small clam shell like scene.
For #3 I like the placement of the fairy holding on to the twig and the overall placement of the field of flowers.
In #2 I like the play of textures and the placement of the flower in the hand of the fairy and the bark door opening.
In the first one I like the light, bright open and welcoming feeling.
These are lovely fairy baskets, number 2 is my favourite! Love the celosa tucked in there! Thank you.
Sempervirens - some of the NJ crew is going to Rare Find & Fair Weather I know FW is on April 4th.. not sure of the date for RF yet
I will try to keep you in mind for any outings we have planned... in case I forget .. check the NorthEast Forum now and then
Great job! Looks like you left a basket outside and a fairy took up residence! hehe That happens to me too! Which did you make, I can't decide what I like best.
thank you... ok guess I can give it up... I made #2... and the woman with me Michele made #4
I love them! I especially like the baskets in #2 and 4 that has the extra vine around the basket and the driftwood and #3 for the yellow and blue color.
You all did a great job, it had to have been lots of fun to make. I did one last summer with live plants and have it in the house and love it. I decorated it for the holidays and now I'm planning one with artificial plants so I can have lots of flowers and I have some clay fairies and birds for it as well as water lilies for the pond.
I have lots of flowers made from clay and very realistic.
that sounds real nice... be sure to post photos
I love them all. Are those baskets available in any catalog?
willowwind2, they appear to be kudzu baskets to me and there are posters on the basket weaving forum that do these. If they are, indeed, kudzu baskets, they will last a loooooooong time. I've bought several over the years at different places and they're strong. If I knew how to make them it would be a good living since kudzu is taking over the South .........lol
not sure of the name of the basket... but the woman at well-sweep said she couldn't get them anymore she only has 2 left... sorry I am help
Could be grapevine on the basket too. I have made many baskets and you can soften it and add it.
the material that the basket is made of.. is the same as the ring around them
They are beautiful. Thanks for the info. Out here we wish we could find something crafty to do with all the scotch broom. ^_^
keep the bad guys out???

Having not performed live for several years, the Beatles were planning a late-'60s return to the stage. They got together to rehearse and found the creative spark burned too hot...so they wrote, experimented, and wrote some more. The result was the album Let It Be, their penultimate recording, but their last to see proper release. In this audiobook - an installment of the august series of album biographies called 33 1/3 - author Steve Matteo recreates the recording sessions and contextualizes the album.
Performed by the kind, able voice of Kevin Draine, this audiobook recounts some of the well-known highlights of the period - like the impromptu lunchtime concert over London - and unearths some lesser-known insights, like the influence of The Band on George Harrison's remarkable contribution.
In this thoroughly researched book, Steve Matteo delves deep into the complex history of these sessions. He talks to a number of people who were in the studio with the Beatles, recording the sights and sounds of the band at work - bringing to life a period in the Beatles' career that was creative and chaotic in equal measure.

"Great Book"
I'm a Beatles nut. This book takes you through the unknown phase of Let It Be, (The Get Back Sessions.) I know a lot about the Boys but this was a big eye opener. Listin to this Beatles Fan.
"For Those Who Can't Get Enough Beatles Stories..."
...like me. Not a particularly insightful analysis of the Fab Four's most undervalued album, but pretty compelling.

The Atlanta Braves plan to build a new stadium in Cobb County and move there from Turner Field at the start of the 2017 season, team officials said today, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Braves executives John Schuerholz, Mike Plant and Derek Schiller, in a meeting with a small group of reporters, said the new ballpark will be built at the northwest intersection of I-75 and I-285 in the Galleria/Cumberland Mall area. They said the team has "secured" approximately 60 acres of land for the project, the AJC reports.
The Braves moved into Turner Field in 1996 under a 20-year-lease with the City of Atlanta.
The Braves said the new stadium is projected to cost $672 million, including parking, land and infrastructure, and will be built in partnership with Cobb County.

Raffaella "Lena" Sacco (nee Mazzella), born August 15, 1917, beloved wife of Joseph Sacco and mother of Nancy Anne and Marie Sacco, an extraordinary woman, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family in Gurnee, IL on Tuesday December 11, 2012. Affectionately known as "Nonna" by her grandchildren, Michael Joseph, Marisa Faith, Matthew Holt, Dominic Eduardo and Vincent Gabriel and by many family friends, she shared all the wonders of well-lived life through her faith and family with good friends and good food. Her strength of spirit and faith were indomitable as she battled various health issues, most especially surmounting a battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma more than a decade ago and recovering from a stroke more than a year and half ago. Driven by her dreams, Lena left her mother's home in Naples, Italy to immigrate to the United States in 1950. She arrived in Long Island, NY where she became recognized for her skills as a seamstress. She went to night school to learn English, worked to become an American citizen, took great pride in being the only of five sisters to learn to drive and to live on her own. Four sisters married and remained in Italy, Carmela Zorzetti, Rosa Russo, Margherita Saggese, America Califano. She returned to Italy in 1955 and became a favorite aunt to her nieces and nephews who were enthralled by her spirit and independence The family "rebel", she married late in life to Joseph, nine years her junior, in March 1957 with the understanding that they would leave Italy and raise a family in the US. Regardless of not having a higher education herself, she listened to and learned from those around her at work and in the community, was an avid reader, and in an unassuming manner humbled bankers, teachers, professors, priests, lawyers and doctors, many who became close family friends. She always reminded her daughters that education and hard work were the way forward and the dreams she had for them were the reasons she could leave her own behind. As a doting grandmother, her guiding hand and focus on family and education has not been lost. She and Joseph lived for more than 40 years together in Fairfield County, Connecticut where they were active and well-known in the community of St Raphael's School and Parish, Bridgeport. In the last decade to be closer to grandchildren, they lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, then Ann Arbor, MI and finally the Chicago area. Lena is survived by Joseph, her husband of 55 years, her daughters Nancy Anne and Marie, and five grandchildren all presently residing in the Chicago area. She is also survived by her youngest sister America, and brother-in-law Tommaso Califano of Melita, Italy. She is lovingly remembered as the "favorite aunt" of more than 25 nieces and nephews, and as the "adventuresome aunt" for 20+ great-nieces and nephews, all of whom live in Italy. She will be dearly missed by family and friends, all of whom are a bit "richer" for having known her in life. Visitation will be at the McMurrough Funeral Chapel, 101 Park Place LIBERTYVILLE, IL on Thursday Dec 13 between 4 and 8 PM. Mass will be celebrated at St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, 6401 Gages Lake Rd, Gurnee on Friday Dec 14 at 10 AM. Entombment will follow at Ascension Cemetery on Buckley Road in Libertyville In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent in Raffaella "Lena" Sacco's memory to either the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society, or to The University of Michigan Cancer Center, Hematology/Oncology Dept (Attention of Dr. Mark Kaminski), Ann Arbor MI.Funeral info 847-362-2626.

Building a bridge to Jay Leno's garage
(Jay Leno). Click photo for larger version.
(Jay Leno). Click photo for larger version.
A group of local Austin Healey aficionados have built a bridge that has spanned the country, starting in Middleboro and ending at Jay Leno's Garage in Burbank, Calif.
The display is a replica of the landmark Dunlop Bridge that spans the LeMans race circuit in France.
Leno's "garage," of course, is one of this country's most extensive and eclectic high-quality collections of automobiles, automobilia, and motorcycles. And its owner has a special place for his new archway.
"I just acquired a new building and needed something for the transition area that connects the garages," says Leno. "The bridge is a perfect connection. It's the gateway to the new area."
This latest addition is the creation of Dominic Falconeiri, a cabinetmaker, builder, long-time member of the Austin Healey Club of America, and great storyteller.
When the New England chapter of the Austin Healey club was making its plans to host an international gathering of Austin Healey aficionados in 2007, he wanted to do his part to make the event a memorable one.
"I always remembered that Dunlop tire bridge over the LeMans race track," says Falconeiri. "Growing up, I saw those historic photos. It was a bridge and pedestrian walkway."
So he decided to make a replica of the bridge as a giant tire with a 16-foot diameter, complete with tread patterns on the sides and outside. The project became a group effort with club members putting more than 200 man-hours into the effort.
"It really came out well," says Falconeiri. "I built it in two sections so it could be transported. We took it to Burlington in a big truck, and people loved it."
That might be an understatement. It was a centerpiece of the gathering and many an Austin Healey was photographed under the tire. The British contingent at the event was so enamored of the creation that they paid Falconeiri & friends for the materials for crating and shipping it—literally by sea—to England for the next year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Auto fans know about Goodwood but suffice it to say it's far bigger than any automotive-related event in New England.
When the display was shipped home, Falconeiri stored it at friend and club member David Altman's North Shore warehouse. However, last winter's heavy snows caused the roof to collapse. A number of Altman's 42 collector cars were damaged, some beyond repair. Because of space limitations, however, an inflatable boat had been stored atop the Dunlop display's crate.
Falconeiri felt crushed, too. "We were between a rock and hard place. I brought it back to Middleboro and our group went to work on it," he says. "The group put another 200 man-hours into restoring the tire."
It was about that time that the Austin Healey club decided they should donate the sign to a non-profit auto museum. Letters were prepared, and, "at the end of that meeting one of the fellows suggested that we should see if Jay Leno would want it as part of his collection. He's got Massachusetts roots and international interests," says Falconeiri. So a letter went out to Jay Leno's Garage.
A few weeks later, Leno called him.After Leno convinced Falconeiri that it wasn't a hoax, he also told him he'd love to have the sign for his garage and would be doing a website promotion—www.jaylenosgarage.com—for it.
Falconeiri, Altman, and Peter Sturtevant, president of the New England chapter of the Austin Healey Club, went to Burbank in January to get a tour of the garage and do a promotion.
"Jay and his staff were incredible hosts," says Falconeiri. "He had us at his show and brought us backstage afterwards. The next morning he personally cooked breakfast at the garage, met with us, and took hundreds of photos. He couldn't have been nicer."
The group got to view Leno's collection, including new acquisitions that have yet to be publically announced.
Falconeiri and Leno chatted on the phone several times in finalizing plans for the event. At the end of one conversation Falconeiri mentioned, "By the way, my grandmother was a Garofalo from Flumeri, Italy."
Leno didn't miss a beat, responding immediately, "My grandmother was a Garofalo from Flumeri, Italy."
It turns out their grandmothers were cousins, making them distant relatives … perhaps a sign that this was all meant to be.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (IANS) Receding Chinese markets and caution over the ongoing quarterly results, coupled with profit bookings, led a barometer index of the Indian equities markets to trade flat during the mid-afternoon session on Wednesday.
Initially, both the bellwether indices opened higher on the back of lowered chances of a US rate hike and some better-than-expected quarterly results.
However, both the bellwether indices ceded their initial gains, as investors were seen reluctant to chase higher prices.
The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) traded flat during the session under review. It was lower by 19.45 points or 0.24 percent at 8,242.20 points.
The barometer 30-scrip sensitive index (S&P Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 27,312.35 points, was trading at 27,262.22 points (at 1.30 p.m.) — 44.61 points or 0.16 percent lower from its previous close at 27,306.83 points.
The Sensex has so far touched a high of 27,445.24 points and a low of 27,190.55 points during the intra-day trade.
The barometer index closed 58.09 points or 0.21 percent lower on Tuesday, the previous trading session.

A study of 11,994 scientific papers published between 1991 and 2011 is the most comprehensive yet in showing overall scientific consensus on whether climate change is anthropogenic, or man-made.
Public opinion on global warming consistently shows that more than half of Americans believe there is debate among scientists as to whether climate change is caused or exacerbated by human activities.
Science Codex reports that study leader John Cook of the University of Queensland said the study's findings "prove that there is a strong scientific agreement about the cause of climate change, despite public perceptions to the contrary."
After limiting the selection to peer-reviewed climate science, the study considered 11,994 papers written by 29,083 authors in 1,980 different scientific journals. Each abstract was analyzed by two independent, anonymous analysts who used set criteria to rate the level to which a paper endorsed anthropogenic global warming (AGW) or not.
Researchers identified 4,000 abstracts that stated a clear position on the cause of global warming. Among these, there was 97 percent consensus that global warming is man made. Researches then asked the authors of more than 2,000 of these studies to rate their entire papers using the same criteria, and they reached a 97 percent consensus for AGW.
Of the 11,994 studies analyzed, 66.4 percent stated no clear position in the abstract of the paper. AGW was endorsed in 32.6 percent of studies, 0.7 percent rejected AGW outright, and 0.3 percent of papers stated the cause was uncertain.
"There is a gaping chasm between the actual consensus and the public perception," Cook said. "It's staggering given the evidence for consensus that less than half of the general public think scientists agree that humans are causing global warming."
The study was published Thursday in Environmental Research Letters.

DUBAI: England spearhead James Anderson has denied seamers were discouraged by the spin-friendly pitches here, saying he was fully focused on how to win the third and final Test against Pakistan starting from Friday.
Spinners have dominated Pakistan's wins in Dubai in the first Test and in Abu Dhabi in the second with 34 of the 40 wickets going to slow bowlers.
Off those, Saeed Ajmal has taken 17 wickets, Abdul Rehman 12 and Mohammad Hafeez five.
England's left-arm spinner Monty Panesar took seven wickets in the second Test while his spin partner Graeme Swann has fetched nine.
But despite these statistics, Anderson refused to accept the spin-friendly nature of the pitches was discouraging for fast bowlers.
"I don't think so," Anderson said on Wednesday.
"Seamers have got plenty wickets, (Stuart) Broad bowled well in the last game and Umar Gul got four wickets in the first, so it is just that the spinners have outshone us in the first two Tests."
Broad, who took 4-47 in the first innings of the second Test, has taken eight wickets in the series while Anderson's tally stands at five.
Anderson said he was happy with England's bowling performance to date.
"Our job is to get 20 wickets in any Test match and we thought it might be a difficult job here but probably we have exceeded our expectations in that department, so we are pretty pleased," said 29-year-old Anderson
Anderson said he believed England had some issues to address, the priority being their batting weakness against spin bowlers, before this year's tours to Sri Lanka and India.
"I think there are a few important issues we are trying to come across in the next Test, the biggest thing for us is that we have two nother tours in the subcontinent and that's for us a big thing.
"We also have a one-day series coming up so to take a bit of momentum into that will be useful as well," said Anderson of the four match one-day and three Twenty20 series which follow the Tests.
Anderson insisted that the mood in the England camp was good despite the two losses.
"I think the mood is very good considering the position we are in, in this series. We are concentrating on how to go about winning this last game. We are open on this group and the guys have been open and honest," said Anderson, who has so far taken 245 wickets in 65 Tests.

Zac Efron maybe set for new role. The former High School Musical star may have his presence in J.J. Abrams' 'Star Wars: Episode VII'. The The Lucky One actor reportedly has met up with the bosses of the movie for this episode, which has been acquired by Disney. Asked if he'd take a part in the movie, he told MTV:
"Yeah, I just went and met with them. So I don't know. It would be cool. I love [the 'Star Wars' movies], but… who knows?"
It has also been rumoured many of the actors from the original trilogy – shot in the 70s and 80s – such as Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker could reprise their roles.
Fifty seven year old Carrie fisher recently mentioned she would like play her character once again as Princess Leia, again, saying:
"I'd like to wear my old [cinnamon buns] hairstyle again – but with white hair. I think that would be funny."
J.J. Abrams at this time has not announced any firm cast decisions, but has said that the film's script is complete. Star Wars: Episode VII' is tentatively scheduled for release for sometime December 2015.

2014 WA Primary: Your vote, your voice
Ten years after Washington voters adopted the Top 2 Primary system by initiative, it's time for the 2014 edition.
Check your mail over the next few days for your Primary ballot. Although it's a mid-term election, there are races and propositions that are significant for your community, and we're hoping for an excellent turnout, state Elections Director Lori Augino said this week.
The 2014 Primary actually got under way last month when county election officials sent ballots by mail and electronically to about 65,000 military and overseas voters. Now it's time for the rest of us.
This year's Primary, which ends Aug. 5, will be dominated by races in all 10 congressional districts, including the competitive race in Eastern Washington's open 4th Congressional District to replace retiring U.S. Rep. "Doc" Hastings. The Primary also includes all 98 state House seats and 25 of the 49 state Senate seats. Among the state Senate battles is the crowded race in the 37th Legislative District to replace retiring Sen. Adam Kline.
There are no races for U.S. Senate or statewide offices this year. None of the four state Supreme Court races will be on the Primary ballot.
The top two vote-getters in each partisan race advance to the General Election, regardless of party preference. Go here to view our online Primary Voters' Guide on the congressional and legislative primary races.
Voters in many counties also will see many local races and ballot measures on their Primary ballot. Among the most publicized in King County is Proposition 1, which would create the Seattle Park District.
Secretary of State Wyman predicts that Primary voter turnout will be about 40 percent, which is in the same range as the 2010 Primary (41 percent) and 2006 Primary (38.8 percent).
Wyman, Washington's chief elections official, encourages voters to take part in the Primary by filling out and returning their ballot in time for their vote to count.
"Several important local ballot measures will be decided in this Primary, and congressional, legislative and county races will be pared down to two candidates for the General Election, so I encourage voters to study the races and measures and take a few minutes to fill out and return their ballot by Election Day," Wyman said.
Ballots must be postmarked by Aug. 5 or returned to a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Ballots can also be returned to accessible voting centers during business hours.
If you aren't registered to vote in Washington, you have until July 28 to do so. You need to visit your county elections office to register in person.
The Top 2 system, since adopted by California voters and explored by other states, was approved by citizen initiative in 2004 after the Supreme Court tossed out the old "blanket" primary. The political parties sued. Ultimately, the high court in 2008 upheld Top 2, saying that as implemented in Washington state, it does not infringe on the parties' constitutional rights. This will be the seventh running of the Top 2 here.

Nikon LN-1 Lens Strap For Long Telephoto Lenses

Thanks very much for the terrific service and fast delivery orderd the Nikon strap on Thursday afternoon arrived with me Friday morning . Great price and suberb service highly recommended
Perfect strap for long téléphoto lenses Nikon an old 300mm f/2.8 AF-S 1 for me .
Fast delivery it s my firt order on this website I m very happy Because it s a long time since I hesitate to order because I am in France.
Thank you Microglobe !
Have one for both my 200mm f2.0 and 200-400 f4.0. Brilliant! makes carrying the camera plus lens so much better. Get one if you own a nikon super telephoto.
If you don't have this strap and you use one of the large Nikon telephoto's, then buy one now!. The strap lugs on the lens body are much wider (as is the LN-1 strap) than those on a DSLR body, so don't try to use any old DSLR strap - the fit will not be as good, and possibly less secure. Not something I would recommend with a lens weighing this much and costing as much as they do.
Correct item promptly delivered. Direct replacement for strap that was included with a Nikon 300mm f2.8 lens (I lost original one after my first outing with the lens).
Correct item recieved quickly after purchase.
I still wonder why there is no follow-up on items not delivered, from previous orders !

Global Tax Alert | 31 January 2014
Hong Kong IRD clarifies deductibility of amounts recharged for equity-based compensation expenses in a group context
Executive summary
The Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has recently further clarified its views on the deductibility of a recharge of equity-based compensation expenses made by one group company to another, including the timing and amount of deduction and taxability of the recharge payment received by the holding company.
These latest views of the IRD, and discussed in this Alert, are contained in the IRD's replies to four new frequently asked questions1 (FAQs) posted on the IRD's website in January 2014.
Detailed discussion
Under a group equity-based compensation plan, the employer entity may enter into an agreement with another group company under which the other group company will grant its own shares to the employees of the employer entity covered by the plan.
In consideration of its employees being granted shares upon their fulfillment of certain specified conditions, e.g., serving out a vesting period, the employer entity may agree to be recharged certain amounts by the other group company.
In the FAQs, the IRD clarified that for the purposes of a deduction claim, despite what may have been agreed between the parties as regards the timing of the payment for a recharge, such a recharge would only be deductible in the year when the relevant share awards vest to the employees concerned (or in the case of stock options, the options are exercised by the employees concerned). It was the IRD's stance that the employer entity would only be liable, or have a definite liability for the expenses in connection with the granting of shares under the plan, upon vesting of the shares.
Furthermore, the amount of the recharge that would be deductible may be the lower of the amount agreed to be recharged or the market value of the relevant shares on the date of vesting. In the reply posted on its website, the IRD stated that: "The deductible amount would generally be the amount of recharge provided that it is not excessive in the circumstances. It is expected that adjustment of the recharged amount to account for the market circumstances should be provided under the terms of a commercially realistic recharged agreement." In addition, the IRD appears to be indicating that fixing the amount of recharge may not be acceptable for tax purposes if the market value of the relevant shares on the date of vesting is lower than the amount agreed to be recharged.
On the other hand, the IRD also provided that where the holding company acquired the shares from the market solely for the purpose of discharging the obligations under the plan, the IRD would not generally regard the recharge as a trading receipt arising from trading in the shares and therefore taxable.
Under the assessing practice discussed above, the manner in which the IRD disregards the terms of a recharge agreement, which may be commercially justifiable and convenient for the parties concerned, appears somewhat controversial.
Nonetheless, in its 2013 annual meeting with the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), the IRD justified its assessing practice by noting that the practice had already resolved a substantial number of objection cases and disputes.

These 12×12 pages use the stamp set called "Daring Adventure." They will be the second set of pages that my customers will create in May at my Open Scrapbook Club. (Details HERE.) I was inspired by a set of pages created by Denise Cox over at Stampin' Connection, our demo only website for ideas and inspiration. It will be so easy for my customers to make these pages because all it takes is 4 "3×12" strips of paper from the Well Worn Designer Series Paper pack. That also means that each set of pages will look a little different depending on which strips each customer gets. Two of the strips are glued down as is and the other two strips are torn in half lengthwise and adhered as shown. LOVE the torn edges!
Here is a close up that shows the embosslit called Live Every Moment. It's only available while supplies last on the retiring accessories list. Same for the stars which are die cut from the Stars #2 die. Hmmm… and two more items I just realized are also on the retiring accessories list: Natural Hemp Twine and Well Worn DSP! Better get them while they can be gotten! lol!
And, a picture of the Journal Box . . . which also features a retiring item! The Jumbo 5/16″ Neutral brads along with their 5/8″ cousins are on the retiring accessories list, too. My goodness, we are going to be getting these pages done just in the nick of time before a lot of these items are retired.
Stamping to Share Tip of the Day: Use this layout to make the most of your coordinating packages of Designer Series Paper. You could use an entire package of designer series paper from SU and create twelve different pages all this quick and easy strip style layout.
Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by my Stamping to Share blog.

Returns should be sent by registered post to guarantee receipt.
The Amount to be refunded will be the original purchase price of the item less the initial postage cost.
In the unlikely event that we have sent you the wrong item in error, you should return the goods as described above. You will of course be reimbursed for your postage costs.
Naturally where applicable we shall endeavour to provide a replacement, otherwise store credit will be issued.
