Discussion in 'General Aircraft Chat' started by selrach, Nov 4, 2009.
The origins of the Sky colour lie in research done at Hendon, I think in 1939, by No1 PDU using Blenheims and Hudsons. Other blue/ green colours at the time included Eau de Nil, at least two versions of Sky blue and duck egg green. Presumably these were the basis for the tests. These colours are the subject of endless debate and I don't have a clue what some of them actually looked like!
The new formulation "Sky type S" is arguably closest to the older BS 381 (1930) No16 duck egg green,though lighter and less intense and the Royal aircraft establishment decided that this gave the best camouflage.Its origins may lie in a paint made by Titanine Ltd called camotint.
Paul Lucas (from one of whose books I culled most of this) quotes Air Ministry signal X915, 6th June 1940, as cancelling all previous instructions on the painting and marking of the undersides of fighters and stating that the undersides of all fighter aircraft were now to be doped to Sky Type S and underwing roundels removed.
The formualtion was apparently something of a challenge to get right and it took some time after the acceptance before suitable quantities appeared.
The older colours were allowed/used as substitutes until existing supplies were depleted.
This explains the never ending debate about exactly which colour was on the underside of what aircraft during the transitional period,of course we'll never know for sure.
Luckily for we model builders different manufacturers versions of "sky" differ enough to give a nice variety of shades on the shelf so I don't beat myself up about it!
BTW the other camouflage colours were also type S paints yet noone ever says "dark earth type S". Strange.
"The standard colour was created and formulated many months prior to the BoB, based on that for 'Camotint' (a commercial name) and first described as "Light Sea Green" in operational units before the terms "Duck Egg Blue" and "Sky" were used. As Andrew has already noted its application to fighter aircraft was dependent upon the availability of the actual paint. The "confusion" about Sky in the June-August 1940 period was in the commands and units to which the orders were issued and the reported scarcity of stores paint which supposedly resulted in unit mixing and/or the use of other standard colours instead in order to meet requirements.
Whilst the MAP Standard swatch may have been "fixed" the pigment formula was always imprecise and one way to a better understanding of the possible variations in the colour is to use this to do your own mixing exercise. It was white with about 4% yellow oxide (yellow ochre) and a trace of Prussian Blue. Mixing to match the swatch is quite difficult and it is easy to shift the colour towards more blueish or more greenish. The type of white used also has a strong influence on the resulting appearance. In addition the pigment yellow oxide is highly dependent upon source, process and purity. To a certain extent the permutations are reflected in the variety of supposedly 'Sky' hobby paints available, few of which are identical to each other."
Hope this helps. The last sentence certainly rings a few bells.
Thanks for the responses
Thanks for your help. One thing that puzzles me is why a light green shade was used. Under what circmstances did the RAF researches think that light green undersides would be best?
1. Was it because the aircraft would be harder to see when parked on the ground? When I spoke to Jerry Crandall once about late war Luftwaffe camos, he thought the Germans used the light green-blue shades for this reason. He is not sure though.
2. The sky near the horizon sometimes has a greenish or duck egg hue. Does light green blend in better when doing low level fighter sweeps for instance?
I suspect the RAF was very systematic about why they did what they did. I read once they reduced the white and yellow portions of the fuselage roudels which significantly increased air to air concealment. I just don't know the reasons why for the underside green.
As far as those late Luftwaffe colours coming down the sides of the aircraft I had always assumed that that was to aid ground concealment, they also wrapped the upper colours around the leading edge of the wings and onto the lower surface. I can't see how that would aid camouflage in the air. Mind you if Jerry Crandall isn't sure I'm not going to argue with that!
The RAF did indeed alter their roundels but then some Luftwaffe units by 1940 were over spraying the large white borders on their fuselage crosses with a dark colour (RLM 70 or 71?) to reduce them for the same reason.I remember a picture of this in one of Merrick's books I think.
I think a lot of the confusion over Sky comes from typical British befuddlement with all the new paints and changing schemes. The colour is referred to as duck egg blue, duck egg green,sky blue and even sky grey in documents but I reckon these are mistaken references to the new colour when no storeman,or it seems people writing the orders, were exactly sure what the hell it was. Remember they'd been using the older colours since 1930. They just plumped for the nearest familiar phrase to describe a blue/green paint.
I can hear a storeman with twenty years in saying "we've got some of that new duck egg green paint" even if the tins had "Sky" in 2" letters on the lid!
"The whole idea of a green, for a/c undersides, is, almost certainly, attributable to Sidney Cotton. He watched the Maharajah of Jodhpur's Lockheed 12A take off from Heston, and noted how quickly, with its pale green colour, it disappeared from view. He had his Lockheed, G-AFTL, painted a slightly lighter shade, and registered it as "Camotint."
Sidney Cotton from wikipedia.
"Frederick Sidney Cotton OBE (17 June 1894 – 13 February 1969) was an Australian inventor, photographer and aviation and photography pioneer, responsible for developing and promoting an early colour film process, and largely responsible for the development of photographic reconnaissance before and during the Second World War. He numbered among his close friends George Eastman, Ian Fleming and Winston Churchill."
so he definitely knew a thing or two about colour!
Dear Steve, Thanks for the info. Fascinating indeed. If you find out more details please let me know.
We can still argue about which colour was actually applied to frontline aircraft post June 1940,but there is no doubt what SHOULD have been applied.
Of course once the orders for new camouflage scheme were issued "clarifications" like the one below must have considerably added to the confusion which still persists 70 years later!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The prices, customer service and the time it took to receive our order was all outstanding. Would definitely order again. Great job WPD!!"
"The magnets came earlier than expected and were absolutely beautiful! They are larger than business card size so you can really see all the pictures on the magnet. So perfect! The only downside is that there is not a wide color variety when picking the font and line colors. Overall amazing product for our save the dates."
"The quality of the magnet was great and the photos came out beautiful. The live chat representative was very helpful explaining how to get the custom color I wanted. My proof was emailed to me before within hours of placing my order and was ready for shipment on the following day. The custom color was EXACTLY what appeared on the proof and what I wanted."
"I was very happy with the quality of the save the dates. The pictures looked great and magnets were great too. the customer service was so helpful too!"
"This magnet Save the Date turned out great! We also had our wedding website URL added under the calendar and it looks really good. The only thing I would be a little bit careful with is that the photos I used came out darker on the Save the Dates than they appeared on the computer samples. Next time I would definitely have them mail me a printed sample. Love how they turned out overall though and the delivery time was phenomenal!"

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The simple, low-frills style of Pope Francis is having an effect on the upcoming canonizations of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII.
Organizers of the event said Monday the April 27 saint-making ceremony will be a much more sober affair compared to the three-day extravaganza that accompanied John Paul's 2011 beatification.
That 2011 event included a prayer vigil on Rome's Circus Maximus field for tens of thousands of people and ended up costing several times the original estimate of 1.2 million euros.
No such vigil is planned this time around. Cardinal Agostino Vallini, the vicar of Rome, said churches in Rome's center will remain open overnight before the canonization to provide a spiritual retreat for pilgrims, "but not much else."

Although Keith Richards' autobiography, "Life," inspired last week's Travelin' Music selection, I missed my opportunity to post a Rolling Stones number as the kickoff song. In fact, I don't think I've ever used a Stones song to start the weekend merriment, which is an oversight that I'm honor-bound to correct.
So here's a great if politically incorrect cut from the early days of the Stones, 1966 to be exact, with Mick in all of his preening, prancing splendor. Fitzgerald once wrote that "Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness," and that's more true of these guys than of most of us.
Of course, from time to time, they also compounded the chemical madness of youth with many other less natural compounds.

Excellent Josef. And to think that at one time these very same words could have been applied to Americans (Reference the "Grapes of Wrath" and the Dust Bowl). I hope that one day there is no such thing as a slave class, which the South American illegal aliens to the US are. They are only here because they perform something for the greedy farmers and corporations which the sorry assed people of our own country are not willing to do anymore and which their employers are not willing to pay a decent wage for. And we have the gall to sit around talking about the lack of jobs. My father was at one time or another a janitor, a wood stacker in a hellish saw-mill, a security guard and a farmer and I respect him immensely because of this because he did whatever it took to pay for his family to eat and have a roof over their heads and to educate his children. Americans aren't willing to that anymore. They want everything for free because our society has promised them that they deserve not to have to work with their hands and to let someone else do the manual labor. Thus we now have a disposable workforce of illegal aliens to supply that labor and it is costing us a fortune in social costs which we cannot afford because there are just too many of them. Of course, America isn't alone in this. Every "advanced" society and culture eventually becomes lazy and looks to import people of less fortune to do the unpleasant jobs for them. And then those very same societies and cultures fall. Look at history.

It's stories like that which makes me wish that there were lots of perp walks going on with these banks and the whole financial mess.
New Horizons, founded in 2004, was particularly dependent on construction and development, with more than half of its loan book in that category at its peak in 2007, said Chris Marinac, bank analyst with FIG Partners in Atlanta.
"This was a bank from the outset that was neither safe nor sound," Marinac said, criticizing its dependence on real estate development.

Matti left a "MESSAGE FROM MATTI" last week on this blog. I think she is a little disillusioned, at the moment, but I have faith in her innate spark for life – that she will return to give her lively, unique thoughts before too long.
Here is another song by Paul Simon, called "The Afterlife."
Matti and others, enjoy Simon's fun with forces beyond our control – and a most poignant ending.

Massachusetts, pioneer of universal health care, now may try new approach to costs
BOSTON — Five years ago this week, Massachusetts became the first state to move toward universal health insurance, foreshadowing the 2010 federal health-care overhaul. Now, the commonwealth is debating whether to become a role model again — by replacing the fee-for-service system that has long defined U.S. medicine.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick (D) is trying to "shove," as he put it, the health-care system here into a new era of cost control. He is proposing a new way of paying for care that would try to propel changes in the way it is delivered. It would give lump payments to teams of doctors responsible for almost all the care of a group of patients, with bonuses for saving money and dispensing high-caliber services that keep people healthy.
Interesting concept, and even more interesting is that the plan is based on a consensus of people from the public and private sectors involving all areas involved,

Well, I've been worried about Matti ever since she wrote about some old flame trying to make up to her and then she disappeared. And the only thing we've heard since was the message that hate was no good. At least that message told me she was still alive. Heck, she might be tied up someplace. You get kind of attached to a sassy thing like her and then when she goes quiet you worry.

The 15 quietest dog breeds
No. 1 (tie): Great Dane
The Great Dane and Newfoundland topped our list with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard among other breeds making the cut.
The breed named quietest of them all is also one of the biggest: the Great Dane. He's a gentle giant with a calm nature, and while he doesn't bark often, when he does, his voice will be louder and deeper than just about any other breed.
Video: Teach your dog to stop barking
No. 1 (tie): Newfoundland
The docile Newfoundland also takes the top spot on this list of quiet breeds. He's a courageous and intelligent dog, known for his love of children, his loyalty and his desire to be a lap dog despite his enormous size.
No. 3: Great Pyrenees
Like the first two breeds on this list, the Great Pyrenees is a large dog with an equally big heart. When properly trained, he's calm, gentle and protective, but you'll have to do your homework in order to get this strong-willed dog to that point.
Video: If pets could talk
No. 4: Italian Greyhound
Tiny, intelligent and a bit fragile, the Italian Greyhound can be rather defiant, but barking is rarely an issue. Housetraining, however, may be another story.
Bing: How to housetrain a dog
No. 5: Whippet
This keen sighthound is sleek and athletic. The Whippet can be found chasing cats and swiping food from the kitchen counter, but he's also a calm and quiet companion who loves to snuggle on the sofa.
No. 6: Mastiff
The Mastiff is known to be very loving but somewhat stubborn. He's protective of his family, but his size (often over 200 pounds!) is generally all that's needed to deter would-be troublemakers, so he rarely sees a need to raise his voice.
No. 7: Bernese Mountain Dog
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a handsome Swiss dog bred to pull carts, drive livestock to fields or market, and work as a watchdog. These days, though, he's better known for his tranquil temperament, although as a puppy he can be active and mouthy, nipping and chasing in play.
No. 8: Bullmastiff
Strong-willed and incredibly loyal, the Bullmastiff isn't a big barker, but he is not always good with other dogs (especially those of the same sex) or cats (due to a high prey drive).
No. 9 (tie): Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard is a member of the Mastiff family. He can be sweet, shy and stubborn, but with proper training and socialization, this quiet breed can be fantastic for families or for use as a therapy dog.
No. 9 (tie): Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The increasingly popular Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small, playful dog who loves his people and hates to be alone. His temperament can range from sweet and placid to straight-up stubborn, but with consistent, positive training, you should be able to housetrain him as well as any other breed.

what color would you use for the kitchen wall?
December 8, 2012 in Design Dilemma
I first tried green but didn't like it, do you think beige and brown tones , or gray colors would be fine?
At first I thought grey, beige, but you really need to color compliment the existing beiges and yelllow tone of the stone. Pluse you have a lot of white in the floor and the cabinetry.
How about blue? Look at Boca Raton Blue 711 by Benjamin Moore, Stratton Blue HC-142 by Benjamin Moore or Buckland Blue HC-151 by Benjamin Moore.

Art Palette
You should see the general tone of your kitchen cabinets, counter and backs splash before you decide on the wall color. Any color depending on the shade you are using may look too pink, blue or other hue. Since Cabinets, counter and back splash are more of a permanent feature of your kitchen, the wall color choice depends on them. Now once you have selected the color you are going to go with, you want to select the shade whether dark or light of that color depending on the amount of lighting you have in your kitchen/ room. Kitchen will only benefit from lighter shade since more light is going to bounce off to your beautiful counter, back splash and cabinets. Hope this helps!
That looks like an outdoor fireplace or something. Never seen anything like that in a kitchen. Where do you live?
The green is rather bright and would have maybe been better in a more sagey color. The bright turquoise wall outside makes me think that something in that color family but more muted might work, perhaps something like duck egg green--sort of a green-blue grayish tone.
The stone in the fireplace is a lot more yellow than the stone on the wall so that makes it tough to get just the right color. The taupe type floor and the extreme difference in light levels don't help.
I would consider doing a completely different color in the kitchen area than the sunroom area, because the same color will look like two colors anyway, and possibly not matching colors. Perhaps just painting the sunroom portion a neutral, maybe the color of your cabinets, or a lighter version of the floor, would be enough.

I think a muted coral would be ideal in this space. Use gray as an accent. Wall color- 2 options SW 6325 Constant Coral and SW 6318 Resounding Rose. Your kitchen needs a warm hue and the coral will compliment the pale periwinkle in the adjacent room. Good Luck! [houzz=

We have used a colour in our home called Latte by Sherwin Williams (#6108) and it is really nice with stone and wood. One shade lighter is called Nomadic Desert and that could look nice also. Good luck!

As a professional, I offer a color consultation at a fair charge for 2 hrs of time. It may be worth the investment to be sure of the right color especially since its a space open to other rooms. Look for someone in you area & be confident in your color choice.

I used tumbled stone by Kelly Moore - a nice greige. Greys and bones are trending now, browns and tans are fading. . . so, it will be easier to decorate around those colors. Otherwise, i like the blue choices above.

I think the absolutely first thing you need to do is find a color consultant who really understands the undertones of color and how to work with them, because I think your biggest issue in the combo of rooms is that you have a "yellow" stone fireplace (magnificent though it be) and "pink" tile behind it and "pink" floors (all of which are permanent fixtures in the rooms); and yellow and pink undertones don't mix. Until you find a way to deal with that issue (very hopefully without tearing anything out and redoing it), no matter what wall color you choose, you'll never be completely happy with the rooms. I would look for a color consultant who definitely has training in working with undertones. Maria Killam (MariaKillam.com) has an intense training program dealing with this issue. She's out of Vancouver but she does online consults and she's trained a lot of people, some of whom may be in your area. Any money spent on a knowledgeable color consultant would be well spent. Good luck!!!

I would chose two colors, grays and beige tones. I would use the warmer of the two on the ceilin-the lighter one would blend seamlessly with the wall tile. This also creates a softer blend with the tile and the warmer tone on the ceiling would accentuate the beauty of the fireplace- one of your focal points in the kitchen. This combination would also draw your eye to the outside patio area. Hope this helps.

thank you all,was really useful,I'l show the finished picture in 10 days' time ( will probably use a warm grey/greige color like B.Moore Northern Cliffs 1536, see sample picture with natural stone/grey wall). Many of you advised me blue and azure, that's beautiful, but I used blue so much, see my living room-simply blue, it is adjaceent to the kitchen. The fireplace used to be an exterior one, I just did some remodelling and enlarged the kitchen, see my kitchen porch-before-after pics, so wish everybody a nice week, further comments are always welcome :)

I would use the lighter shade on the wall and the warmer beige tone on the ceiling. there is a lot going on in the kitchen so i would keep all the walls the same color. Let the fireplace and the cabintery stand out and be interesting to look at. I would also add some interesting artwork to the wall to the left of the fireplace, closest to the outside patio. You just don"t want to focus on the wall color, but instead have the wall color act as a back drop to the more interesting elements in the space.

Without seeing the stone in person and just using my judgement of what i am seeing on the website. I would use SW 6072versatile gray on the walls and somethingk like sw 6107 Normadic desert on the ceiling if those colors are some of the tones in the wall tile and complement the fireplace. If the color for the ceiling feels to dark for you then back it down one shade or so.

Just want to make one last pitch...Hope you at least give some consideration to a warm tone like reds or red/oranges and look at them in space. As beautiful as the "neutrals" are....you have very little wall space. Think of the color like matting on a piece of art, it should showcase the room elements. The key is to avoid a red or red/orange with a blue undertone. Be sure to use a warmer saturation, that was the problem with the original green you selected, the saturation and undertone were too cool.

Dear Ethan Allen, SW versatile gray 6072 seems very similar to the gray tone that I have on my mind now, this gray goes well with natural stones and oak wood (furniture which I plan to place), here are some further pictures of the room, the stone files on the wall have the SW 6107 desert color tone by the way:) But I prefer to keep the whole ceiling pure white , finally I'll have cream kitchen cabinets, beige granite tiles on the floor, warm grayish walls and some wooden table/chairs, thank you again..

Hi Tammy,I 'll keep the ceiling pure white for a while ( just recently changed the old worn out dark oil painted low quality wooden ceiling with higher levelled-drywalls) and wait for the first results with warm light gray walls and look at its harmony with the beige granite floor tiles, creamy kitchen cabinets, light greige stone wall tiles...will upload the finished kitchen picture ( guess in 10 days), then I might think of adding some color to the ceiling maybe?After all, the most challenging item in the whole kitchen is the old fireplace, maybe I should get it painted but I do not know whether that type of material can be painted , plan to hang red translucent curtains (like that from desperate housewives Gabi Solis' kitchen)...red curtains might make it all more interesting ..you can also see the very former version of the wall opposite to the fireplace with the dark low ceilling.. .that wall will become gray-greige with red curtains in the corner, .many thanks

Be careful with the red sheers as they don't have the depth of texture to balance all of your stone/brick. It is so difficult when decorating a space as people fall in love with elements...the key is to always big picture it. I always tell my students, look right, left, above and below and how will your decision impact all of that.
By the way, I love Tammy's idea of doing something interesting on the ceiling with a bit of color. I understand your fear of darkness from your prior experience but perhaps just consider changing the value on the ceiling so you bump it up a bit. Aren't you glad you asked all of us decorating addicts our opinions? :)

I have two action bars, and to be very honest, I don't NEED to be able to look at them. If you use SexyCD, or a similar cooldown mod that condenses everything into a pretty little bar, and you can memorize your hotkeys for everything, you could easily have most of your bars hidden until you need to switch things out on it.
I've been using the same setup of hotkeys (Q, E, F, G, R, T, V, Z and the Shift variants) for years, and by now I don't even need to look at my bars to play.

Agreed, I can understand having all your heals bound to mouseclicks, but how does he ever attack anything? Especially with the broad toolkit a priest has.
Bartender has a wonderful ability to hide action bars and only show them while in combat. This allows you to only show crucial cool downs in a visible place and leave everything else which is just a distraction as a healer out of view.
As a priest, I really don't need to be able to see my mana burn, dps spells and buff bars typically while in combat. They're still accessible on mouse over as I know exactly where they are in the unlikely event I should ever need them but they just distract if I were to leave all 4 out.
bah wtb, edit button.
I meant to say that bartender has an ability to hide action bars -- in or out of combat, so that they don't clutter the overall appearance of your UI. They're always there and always accessible if you mouse over them, but they are not viewable on your UI taking up valuable screen real-estate, or mental band-width as a healer. You're able to focus simply on what you need to while healing, and not DPS spells, or seldom used spells. While still making them accessible in a flash.
eric.m.harvey said...
This set up is very similar to my Disc priests, the need for bars is very minimal with vuhdo since you can assign spells to clicks on enemy target frames. The only buttons I ever have to hit are for my cooldowns.
I cannot remember the last time I actually had to do anything beyond Smite and Holy Fire to an enemy mob. I have two action bars set up for my Priest, simply to track CDs through Power Auras. The rest are hidden, and every one of my healing spells other than Power Word: Barrier are bound to mouse clicks through VuhDo.
Honestly, I probalby don't need half the indicators I have showing on my screen as is, since everything is a mouseover macro. I tend to tune them out and not even pay attention.
@Lipstick: HAI! It's Reta/Tiriél from da forums. xD
jacob.rabjohns said...
Agreed. He specified hes a healer. Hes also a priest, so in all likelyhood he will have a holy/disc os/ms, since he never ever mentioned shadow. All you need bound for keys is anything you cant be bothered to bind to a mouse, so cooldowns and, as previously mentioned, smite and holy fire.
Theres really no need for more than 1 action bar as a healer, if you have something to track your various CD's on stuff like holy shock or riptide.
I personally like the side bar for mounts and stuff too, thats similar to mine, 1 bar for CD's and a few basic attacks, and one for buffs and mounts. The rest is click-bound.
mournelithe said...
Ahh, ok. Generally hidden action bars makes more sense.
I do a fair bit of questing outside of raiding still in my heal spec, so was curious to see how a simple UI like this would work. I guess you just set up the bars so your keybinds work then hide them.
How do you swap your UI for shadow then? Is it a simple profile change, or a complete reload of UI plus addons?
Also, what happens when you use a vehicle?

Yoga Rx: Running Injuries
By Nora Simmons
No strangers to pain, runners do a lot of damage to their bodies while pounding the pavement or tackling the trails. Yoga can help by strengthening weak, underutilized muscles while healing overworked or injured ones, as well as tendons and joints, says Baron Baptiste, former athletic trainer and creator of Baptiste Power Yoga. Add these poses to your pre- and post-run routine so you have more power to go the distance.
Pre-run warm-up: Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)
Stand tall, and step your left foot back so that your feet are about a leg-length apart and your back arch is in line with your front heel. Your left toes should turn slightly in. Bend your right knee directly over the right ankle so your thigh is parallel to the floor. Lift up through the top of the spine. Keeping your hips square to the wall in front of you, raise your arms above your head, palms shoulder-width apart and facing each other. Roll your shoulders away from your ears. Stay here for five breaths. Step your left foot forward to meet your right, and repeat on the other side.
Post-run recovery: Low Lunge
Part 1: Face forward, and step your left foot back into a lunge. Bring your left knee and top of your left foot down to the mat. Your right shin should be perpendicular to the floor. Lift up through the crown of your head, and look forward, hands resting on your right thigh.
Part 2: Bring your hands behind your back, interlacing your fingers. With your elbows straight but not locked, move your arms away from your buttocks. Pull your shoulders back and down, so you feel a release in the front of your chest, neck, shoulders, and upper back. Stay here for five breaths. Release your hands to the floor, and step your left foot forward to meet your right, moving into Standing Forward Bend. Repeat on the other side.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Miller is the best lob passer (with apologies to Chris Paul) and hit-ahead guard in the game. He reads the court horizontally and in two dimensions vertically -- down the floor and up in the air, creating buckets for teammates even when the defense thinks they are in solid position. Getting points for your team when a lesser passer wouldn't is what separates great guards from good ones.
Lillard, with those abilities, would seem to be an All-Star lock down the road. Learning to read the game would also help him play more efficiently and save energy in the process -- part of the reason why Miller is still playing so well at 37 years of age.
Lillard is one of just 39 players in the NBA — and the lone person on his own team — to play in every game this season. His basketball ability is so dynamic and so polished, its easy to forget that Lillard also is quickly proving to be one of the toughest and most durable players in the NBA.
"He's the closest thing I've seen to Andre Miller since Andre Miller," Blazers trainer Jay Jensen said, referring to the former Blazers point guard and one-time NBA Iron Man who played in 632 consecutive games before a suspension ended the streak. "Damian is one of the toughest I've seen."

TEAMS: Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs
Free agency is not over just yet. The Green Bay Packers recently released inside linebacker Desmond Bishop, who played a significant role during their Super Bowl season in 2010. And Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the Chiefs will meet with Bishop this week. He first met with the Packers divisional rival Minnesota Vikings, and Kansas City is next on the list. The Jacksonville Jaguars are also interested in the former Packer. This makes a lot of sense for the Chiefs. There is still plenty of uncertainty at the inside linebacker position where the Chiefs drafted Nico Johnson out of Alabama to fill that void. LB Akeem Jordan was also brought in during free agency to compete for that spot. But if the Chiefs can land a proven veteran, it could be a quick fix and Bishop could be a nice compliment to Derrick Johnson inside the defense. Where Bishop comes from also makes sense why the Chiefs are interested. As a former personnel man under the Ted Thompson tree, GM John Dorsey knows Bish...

We are with Ms. Deja, between shoots, at our V-Studioin Miami. When you walk past, say a construction site, do guys go crazy? DEJA: They go crazy. Do you like that? DEJA: At times. There are days when I don't because I just wanna be left alone. Sometimes I get upset at the cat-calling and I'll let them know it. Other days I'll let it go. And sometimes it makes me feel good. What will the guys say? DEJA: They'll ask me how big my breasts are and if they're real. Just really crude stuff. Nobody wants to answer questions like that. You can see that they're big and that's all you need to know. You mentioned on your model questionnaire that your hobby is...wanna tell us? DEJA: (Laughing) Sex! Actually, my hobby is going to swing parties. Not only to have sex, but to also watch people having sex. So what would happen when you go to one of these parties and, say, you're not having sex? What would you be doing? DEJA: A lot of times people hire me to dance at swing parties for the couples. I talk to them, dance for them. It's a lot of fun. I get to meet a lot of different people. A lot of the fun for me is being surprised at the celebrities who are there. You wouldn't believe it if I told you. [Deja's website is msdeja.com].

Several agencies spent hours on both Wednesday and Thursday searching cornfields near Dolton for escaped inmate Oscar Herrera-Menjivar, but the search has been called off.
Many of our viewers raised concerns to how much the, so far, unsuccessful search is costing. The answer might surprise you.
In the United States all law enforcement agencies are ultimately funded by tax payer dollars. Meaning every minute a fugitive eludes capture, the meter is ticking.
In the search for Herrera-Menjivar, there were nearly 60 officers on the ground. Their salary varies based on department but they aren't cheap.
Agents with the Division of Criminal Investigation incurred a cost of roughly $5,000 for their efforts. The same amount can be said for the Turner County Sheriff, his deputies, and other county workers. the South Dakota Highway Patrol had the most troops on the ground raking up $8500 in expenses.
"It's a lot of man hours but how do you put a price on public safety?" Said Turner County Sheriff Byron Nogelmeier.
In the search, there were two single engine planes looking from above. The two of them alone cost $3,000.
The South Dakota National Guard also sent a helicopter with thermal imaging capabilities, something that normally would cost almost $1600 per hour.
"In this incident, the helicopter and the flier system that is a part of that is provided at no cost to local law enforcement due to the law enforcement nature of our counter drug program and the agreements we have with those agencies." Said National Guard spokesman Major Anthony Deiss.
Every year, the National Guard Bureau gives each state's guard units operational hours set aside for missions and other support efforts so local law enforcement isn't left footing the bill.
But even with a free chopper, for this search you get an estimated total of around $22,000.
These numbers are a rough estimate but give you a closer look at how expensive searches can be. While Herrera-Menjivar hasn't turned up yet , the Turner County Sheriff is still hoping all these efforts aren't completely wasted.

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Peter Hanson withdrew from the Seve Trophy on Monday due to a lingering back injury.
Hanson, a 2012 Ryder Cup participant, will be replaced by Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano on the Continental Europe team, which will take on Great Britain & Ireland at Saint-Nom-la-Breteche Golf Club starting Thursday.
"My back has been an issue for pretty much most of the year and it is still not 100 percent unfortunately," said Hanson. "I have my defense of the BMW Masters in China coming up in three weeks' time which is part of the Final Series on the European Tour and I want to be in ideal shape for that full run of tournaments, which meant I had to withdraw from this week."
Fernandez-Castano is 4-5 in his previous nine matches in the Seve Trophy.
"When I got the call I was really excited about playing in my third Seve Trophy," he said. "I really enjoyed the two previous contests I played, and it is important to support a tournament with Seve's name on it, not only because of what he did for Spanish golf, but for what he did for the game in Europe and the European Tour as a whole."

Wallace Thompson Funeral Home
119 Rarden Road
Peebles, OH 45660
In 1991, Steve Thompson and Bob Wallace had the opportunity to purchase the Lafferty Funeral Home, located at 136 N. Main Street in Peebles, from Richard and Joyce Lafferty. Richard is a fourth generation funeral director from the descendents that founded the Lafferty Funeral Home, West Union in the early 1800's.
Steve and Bob operated the Lafferty-Wallace-Thompson Funeral Home at that location until 1996, when Bob and Sharon Brooke of the Brooke Funeral Home, located at 119 Rarden Road in Peebles, decided to retire. An agreement was made whereby Steve and Bob purchased the Brooke business and a trade was made of the properties, whereupon the Brooke-Lafferty-Wallace-Thompson Funeral Home was established.
The 119 Rarden Road location has a history dating back to 1904 when John R. Thomas opened a funeral home on Main Street in Peebles. In 1934 Cecil Trefz purchased the business from John R. Thomas and moved it to the present location.
Cecil Trefz operated the business until 1951 when he sold an interest to George Chapman, who sold to Charles Thompson in 1952. Charlie operated the Trefz Funeral Home, as it was known until 1972 when Charlie retired and sold the business to Tom Burke. Tom Burke operated the Burke Funeral Home until 1976, when he sold it to Bob Brooke.

Noise cancellation was first patented by Paul Lueg in the early 1930's. Lueg had recognized that the technical merits of sound cancellation would require creating an identical but opposite sound wave to cancel out ambient noise. By the 1980's electronic noise cancellation technology was being implemented in aircraft headphones to protect pilots from hearing damage. The most common type of noise cancellation is "Passive" while "Active" noise cancellation technology is now preferred. Below is a brief description of the two types of cancellation technologies.
Passive Noise Cancelling:
Any type of headphone or earbud has some form of passive noise cancellation due to the materials used in the construction of the device itself. Circumaural headphones enclose the wearer's ear completely and provide passive noise cancelling due to their over ear design. Passive noise cancelling headphones take it a step further and are packed with super dense foam or sound-absorbing material and are made with thick plastics or metal alloys to block high-frequency ambient noise. The downside of this thick material is added weight which can induce strain and fatigue on the wearer over long periods of time. Ear buds are small and have little room for added noise dampening material so their tips are designed to block ambient noise. Ear buds can work like earplugs and sometimes rival the noise cancelling capabilities of active noise cancelling systems.
Active Noise Cancelling:
Noise Isolation Headphones Beats by Dr. Dre
Advancements in sound electronics technology have lead to active noise cancelling which utilizes a 4-step system to erase lower frequency ambient noise. These headphones create their own sound waves that are identical to the incoming sound waves with one exception: they produce waves that are 180 degrees out of phase or reversed from the incoming sound. This is known as destructive interference and causes the two waves to cancel out resulting in silence, if we lived in a perfect world of course. A microphone placed in the ear cup "listens" to external sounds that cannot be blocked passively and sends that information to noise-canceling circuitry. The electronics, usually placed in the ear cup or in line with the signal cable, duplicates the frequency and amplitude of the incoming wave and inverts it 180 degrees. Then the speaker produces this new frequency along with normal sound waves to effectively erase noise. A downfall of active noise cancelling circuitry is that they require a battery to energize the system which can decrease convenience.
This active cancelling technology works well for continuous sounds such as the humming of a jet engine, train or a refrigerator. This technology is still in the early stages so it does not completely omit all sounds. On average, active noise cancelling headphones provide an additional reduction in noise of about 20 decibels, which is 70 percent of ambient noise. Because these systems are battery powered they often induce noise into the headphones in the form of a high-frequency hum. This noise is often unheard when actually listening to music but might become annoying to some who use active noise cancelling headphones just to get some peace and quiet. Regardless of any drawbacks, most people will never steer away from noise cancelling headphones back to normal headphones again.

Before Big Spring senior Chris Nunez signed his letter of intent to play football at West Texas A&M University in front of a foyer packed with family, friends and classmates, Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Phillip Ritchey had a few remarks about his success.
ŌĆ£I challenge any future athletes who are going to be seniors that have the goal and the desire to go to the next level to work hard in class, to be a good student and to be a good citizen,ŌĆØ Ritchey said. ŌĆ£That's what it takes to carry on. Chris, we're very proud of you, we're very happy for you. This is a big step that comes with a lot of responsibility. You're going to represent us ŌĆö all of us ŌĆö if you look around this is a big deal. You'll be a Big Spring Steer for life.ŌĆØ
Nunez was awarded All-District honors his junior year for his work on the gridiron and All-District and All-State as a senior. A tuba player, Nunez was also an All-State band selection. The future finance major said WTAMU seemed like a good fit for both his athletic and academic careers.
ŌĆ£It's really exciting,ŌĆØ Nunez said of the signing. ŌĆ£I went over to the visit and I just liked the environment. The people were nice. I've continued to better myself and I need to make sure that I'm bettering myself in college. When I went over (to WTAMU), it just seemed like a family.ŌĆØ
Nunez hopes he is remembered at Big Spring for his hard work in athletics and beyond.
ŌĆ£I want my legacy to be that I put everything I could into the team,ŌĆØ Nunez said. ŌĆ£I'm a team player, I'd rather not play just for myself, but for the team.ŌĆØ
Rick and Patricia Nunez couldn't be happier about their son's future plans.
ŌĆ£My wife and I are really proud of him,ŌĆØ Rick Nunez said. ŌĆ£It's one of those things where you expect your kids to do the right thing. He took the time and visited schools, he chose it very carefully. He was very impressed with West Texas A&M. He's all-around, he's athletic at everything, we're extremely proud of him.ŌĆØ
WTAMU is also excited to have Nunez aboard. He was offered a partial sports scholarship to help pay the cost of tuition.View more articles in:

A new weekly publication in Rutland aims to prove the city is a happening place.
It's called the Rutland Reader. Set to hit newsstands Thursday, the free paper will feature a section called "Plus Five" with the top five things to do in Rutland that week. It will also include in-depth investigative pieces and articles geared toward local travel and entertainment.
Editor Jim Sabastaso says he hopes it will help boost pride in the city.
"We're trying to sort of dig underneath of the day to day stuff in Rutland and show people that there's a lot of cool stuff going on. There's interesting things. There's interesting people. And we're going to package it and present in a way that sounds like fun and gets you off the couch," Sabastaso said.
The paper is owned by the Rutland Herald.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. -- A tree outside Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher Pratul Agarwal's office window provided the inspiration for a discovery that may ultimately lead to drugs with fewer side effects, less expensive biofuels and more.
Just as a breeze causes leaves, branches and ultimately the tree to move, enzymes moving at the molecular level perform hundreds of chemical processes that have a ripple effect necessary for life. Previously, protein complexes were viewed as static entities with biological function understood in terms of direct interactions, but that isn't the case. This finding, published today in PLoS Biology, may have enormous implications.
"Our discovery is allowing us to perhaps find the knobs that we can use to improve the catalytic rate of enzymes and perform a host of functions more efficiently," said Agarwal, a member of the Department of Energy laboratory's Computer Science and Mathematics Division.
Making this discovery possible was ORNL's supercomputer, Jaguar, which allowed Agarwal and co-author Arvind Ramanathan to investigate a large number of enzymes at the atomistic scale.
The researchers found that enzymes have similar features that are entirely preserved from the smallest living organism bacteria -- to complex life forms, including humans.
"If something is important for function, then it will be present in the protein performing the same function across different species," Agarwal said. "For example, regardless of which company makes a car, they all have wheels and brakes."
Similarly, scientists have known for decades that certain structural features of the enzyme are also preserved because of their important function. Agarwal and Ramanathan believe the same is true for enzyme flexibility.
"The importance of the structure of enzymes has been known for more than 100 years, but only recently have we started to understand that the internal motions may be
