My jewellery is influenced by my passion for pattern, I use traditional etching techniques to create eye-catching designs, which conjure up many interpretations with different stories to be told.
Every etched design is based on the female form, which I have manipulated to create a series of interlocking shapes, which rotate and spiral across the metals surface.
I have a sculptural background, graduating from the Sir John Cass School of Art and Design at the London Metropolitan University. Influences from this time have been introduced into the construction and form of my jewellery, taking past sculptural designs to a wearable public.
Every part of the designing and making process is done by me in my London studio.

Cairo, Egypt
December 15, 2010
AP soundbites:
Special Envoy George Mitchell (Dec. 15): "In their direct talks in September both Israelis and Palestinians decided together to pursue a framework agreement that would establish the fundamental compromises on all permanent status issues and it would pave the way for a final peace treaty, that remains our goal."
Special Envoy George Mitchell (Dec. 15): "Reaching this goal will not be easy by any means, the differences between the two sides are real and they are persistent but the way to get there is by engaging in good faith with the full complexities of the core issues and by working to narrow the gaps between the two sides."

The popular card game, Cards Against Humanity, is spreading the Christmas bullshit a little early this year with their 12 Days of Holiday Bullshit.
For $12, you will receive 12 mystery gifts over the course of 12 days in December--but you will have all 12 by Christmas. For those of us with estranged families, or those of us who really have no idea what to ask for (liquor is always a safe choice), this is a pretty decent solution. Or just a fun holiday treat to give yourself or a friend. Really, it's only $12.
CAH will start mailing out gifts in the first week of December. There are a limited amount of slots, so once the slots are filled, that's it. As of writing, there are 92,000 slots open, though that number is dropping rather quickly.
Keep in mind that CAH will not ship outside of the US and Canada, and residents who live in Canada get to pay $22 rather than $12. Purchases are limited to one per household.
Whether or not our mystery gifts will be awesome CAH cards has yet to be seen (...obviously), but one can only imagine that if they aren't awesome, they're hilarious.
Head over to the CAH Holiday Bullshit website to purchase your mystery gifts before they're all gone!

Welcome Aboard!
Greetings to all!
My name's Jim, and I love maps. I like Campaign Cartographer 3 maps best of all. I'm not the greatest at making dungeons, but overland maps and city maps (most especially ruins) are strong interests of mine. Those are covered by CC3 core and the City Designer add-on.
I'm also interested in making Spelljammer maps, but I'm not sure that that Cosmographer add-on for CC3 will do well with crystal shells and the phlogiston. I'd have to know more about it than the ProFantasy website's advertisement offers.
Good hunting to all,
Welcome Aboard!

Looking Ahead
Historic auction
History lovers and gun buffs alike might want to find a way to Nashua, N.H., on Sept. 30 for a unique firearms sale by RR Auction. A Colt .25 pistol once owned by Chicago gangster Al Capone and guns snatched from the bodies of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow will be up for auction. Memorabilia hunters can also bid on items that belonged to John Dillinger, Wyatt Earp, and Elliot Ness.
Debates, part one
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney will square off at the University of Colorado on Oct. 3 for the first of three televised debates. Veteran debate moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS will preside over the debate, which will focus on domestic issues.
Film first
The first-ever stop-motion IMAX 3D film, director Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, hits theaters on Oct. 5. The film, a send up to the 1931 classic Frankenstein, features a boy who brings his deceased dog back to life. Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short will provide character voices for the boy's parents.
Venezuela votes
By hook or crook, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will likely win another six-year term on Oct. 7. Though many experts call Henrique Capriles the strongest opponent Chavez has faced in his 13-year tenure as president, polling—and Chavez's win-at-any-cost attitude—indicates winning may be next to impossible for the challenger.
Debates, part two
Voter attention will turn to the presidential running mates on Oct. 11 as Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden face each other in a vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky. Since Romney named Ryan to the GOP ticket, many have looked forward to seeing the rising star tangle with the gaffe-prone Biden.
Taking it to the streams
To mark its 100th year, the Girl Scouts of the United States of America will tackle a massive service project with participants in all states. Girl Scouts across the nation will fan out on Oct. 13 to tackle water pollution by raking and bagging 20,000 pounds of fallen leaves and dead grass that would otherwise leech phosphorus into the nation's waterways.

Feb. 21, 2009
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Quincy Pondexter scored a season-high 22 points and the Huskies (20-7, 11-4) bounced back from a conference loss to defeat USC 60-51 Saturday and stay atop the conference standings.
Justin Dentmon had eight points and Overton added seven.
While Venoy Overton was busy hassling players on defense, Pondexter was sinking shots. The junior was 10-for-13 from the field and had eight points in the last 5 1/2 minutes to help Washington reach 20 wins for the first time since 2005-06 when they were eliminated by Connecticut in the NCAA regional semifinals.
Pondexter's layup with 4:58 left tied the score at 50, and his turnaround jumper 22 seconds later gave Washington the lead for good.
The Trojans (16-10, 7-7), who lost at home for only the second time this season, couldn't find an answer.
"He really took over the game at the 10-minute mark and we just couldn't stop him," USC coach Tim Floyd said. "We tried to go back and go double if he got down on the block but so much came back at the 15-, 17-foot mark. We stayed with him and we just couldn't get him stopped."
Pondexter carried the load offensively for the Huskies, who have won the last 18 of their 22 games.
No other Washington starter scored in double digits and Isaiah Thomas, the conference's leading freshman scorer with 16.3 points per game, was held to a season-low four points on 2-for-7 shooting.
Dentmon went 2-for-10 and also had trouble finding his shot.
Thomas was subbed out with 6:20 and Overton was left to handle the Trojans' Daniel Hackett.
"I was just trying to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. I knew he had that little international flop thing but I just tried to pressure him the best I could," Overton said.
"Venoy was the catalyst today," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.
Hackett, who was emotional after the loss, said that Overton's aggressive play was a bit distracting.
"He turned the pressure up a little bit but we needed better execution down the stretch," Hackett said. "It's not like he was ripping me left and right out there. He just turned the pressure up. We just stunk it up on the offensive end."
Hackett and Dwight Lewis had 11 points apiece for USC, which led by four with 5:52 left but scored just one point the rest of the way.
Hackett, who fouled out with :52 seconds remaining, missed two free throws down the stretch that would have tied the score at 48.
"It all came down to execution and we didn't get it done," forward Taj Gibson said. "They played really tough defense on us towards the end of the game and we just couldn't get a call."
The Trojans had trouble grabbing rebounds in the second half, too. Washington edged USC 19-12 on the boards and Gibson finished with a season-low two rebounds.
Forward Jon Brockman, whose 54 career double-doubles is the most of any active player in college basketball, posted 14 rebounds.
Washington started the game off slow and USC took an 18-9 lead on Lewis' fastbreak with 14:12 left in the first half.
But the Huskies bounced back.
Overton, who came off the bench, had seven points during an 18-2 run that helped Washington take a 31-28 lead at halftime. Pondexter had six during that span and had ten in the first half.

Teams across the league remembered Washington safety Sean Taylor by wearing number 21 decals on their helmets.
Of course, no game honored him more than the Redskins hosting the Bills.
A pregame video and a moment of silence were among the tributes to the 24-year-old man who died five days ago after being shot in his home by intruders.
The Redskins only played ten men on their first defensive play, leaving Taylor's position open.
Washington lost by a point on a late field goal.
The team will fly to Taylors funeral Monday.

That said, 89-91 is a completely different fight. Tyson of the Ruddock fights was much faster in terms of his hand and foot speed, still threw thunderous counters off jabs, still went to the body consistently, had greater stamina and was very, very angry (particularly after Douglas). Holyfield was barely above 205 lbs at that point, was more prone to trading in the center of the ring, wasn't as physically strong and rock solid and hadn't gained the experience he put to use in '96 to fight the way he did in order to beat a lackadaisical Tyson. I can guarantee one thing: When Holyfield butts '91 Tyson, Mike isnt going to be looking at the referee for help. Holy had some damn quick mitts himself and was adept at fighting on the inside, but it's honestly a fight I see Tyson battering him for the better part of 12 rounds.
Great post. It's sad because the 90's HW could have been their own 'fab four'. Maybe even surpass the 70's. If Tyson didn't go to jail and maintain say his Ruddock levels of skills and intensity. If Bowe kept in shape and didn't duck. If Lewis matured a BIT earilier.
Imagine if they all fought each other multiple times. Lewis Tyson Holyfield Bowe. That's a fab four right there. Not one of them would have had a career pass 1999 though. Probably all be shot by 97ish

Rumor: John Hurt to play the Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special?
The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special doesn't air until the fall, but actor John Hurt has broken his silence about the role he'll be playing in the 3D special. In the past, Hurt has claimed that he plays "part of the Doctor" in a "kind of trinity" with Matt Smith and David Tennant. However, while speaking at an event in Norfolk, the actor went into greater detail about his role in the one-off TV movie.
After Christopher Eccleston refused to return for as the Ninth Doctor, it became necessary to make some sort of compromise. A source explained to TV Biz that John Hurt is that compromise: "John will play the real Ninth Doctor. Christopher Eccleston has always been thought of as the Ninth Doctor but now that John has been revealed as the Ninth Doctor, it shuffles Eccleston's Doctor to be the Tenth Time Lord, Tennant the 11th and Smith the 12th. It also means the Doctor's time is running out as he can only regenerate 12 times."
The source continued: "Steven loves a complex plot and there will be plenty of surprises along the way," adding that "The reason the Doctor has forgotten his ninth incarnation will become clear but it's to do with the Time War and his shame over his behaviour in it."
"Tennant and Smith's Doctors will at first refuse to accept Hurt is them — until their sonic screwdrivers confirm it and announce," the source revealed. "'He's us. He's the ninth us'."
Further details via TV Biz:
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted that John Hurt's costume bears a similarity to Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston's — his version would have come between them.
A source said: "John was given a very familiar look that goes half way between two regenerations." Billie Piper will also be returning as Rose Tyler, alongside Tennant. Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page will play Queen Elizabeth I.
There are also two episodes left in the current series. Fans will see villains the Cybermen at their scariest tomorrow in an episode penned by leading sci-fi writer Neil Gaiman, set on a planet turned into an alien amusement park.
As well as the familiar stomping metal monsters, the Doctor and assistant Clara face a new slimline version of the metal horrors that can RUN.
The series' final episode teases fans with the biggest mystery of all — the Doctor's real name.
Moffatt said the episode will "change the course of Who forever".
He added: "It's full of surprises and questions that have never been answered in the history of Who, including the Doctor's greatest secret.
"We'll also find out what makes his new companion so impossible, and there's a surprise that no one has got right so far."
This is such an alarmingly stupid development that I'm PRAYING it isn't true. I've generally loved Steven Moffat's tenure as Doctor Who showrunner, but this is a bridge too far.

Top officials say a tight state budget will influence everything legislators do in the three month session which begins Tuesday, January 4.
Mississippi lawmakers have already made one expensive commitment in the $3.8 billion budget for the fiscal year which begins July 1. Gov. Haley Barbour and the joint legislative budget committee have pledged to set aside more than $97 million to fund the final year of a five-year teacher pay raise plan.
During the upcoming session, the legislative panel also wants to reinstate coverage to about 50,000 Medicaid recipients who had been scheduled to be cut from the program under money saving changes approved last year.

Released By: Def Jam
release description
Chrisette Michele first appeared on the everyday listener's radar through duets with Jay-Z ("Lost Ones") and Nas ("Can't Forget About You," which samples Nat King Cole). Now she shows off her gospel chops, jazz and R&B roots on her debut solo album simply titled, I AM. Only twenty-four years of age, the singer-songwriter from Long Island, NY was raised in church, singing in the choir while composing music since twelve. Though she'd long been a fan of gospel and classical, it wasn't until she was seventeen that she also developed a passion for jazz along with the music of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Astrud Gilberto. Known for her heartfelt and thought-provoking lyrics, Chrisette was signed personally by Antonio "L.A." Reid to Def Jam and toured with India.Arie, Kem, and Raheem DeVaughn, Angie Stone, Amel Larrieux, and Donnell Jones as part of the 2006 Heineken Red Star Soul tour.
With a sensual voice as soothing as a summer sunset and equally colorful songs, Michele's soulful and jazz-influenced debut, I AM, hits just the right notes. Featuring production help from Babyface, will.i.am, John Legend and Salaam Remi, the songs on her album reflect Michele's life experiences (she wrote all of the lyrics). "Your Joy" is a downtempo song about a child speaking to his or her father. The classic R&B grooved "Like A Dream" boasts an infectious melody with a sing-along chorus hook, and "Good Girl" and "Best of Me" are tributes to independent women. "If I Have My Way" is a soulful ballad where Chrisette Michele boldly proclaims her desire for her beau when their relationship becomes official. Often likened to Alicia Keys, Corinne Bailey Rae and an early Jill Scott, Michele's goal is "to create a seamless album that mixes soul and pop in a way that will have people coming back again and again." With an opening slot for Musiq Soulchild's upcoming US tour and the release of I AM, her dreams are finally becoming reality.

Bulleit Bourbon
Bulleit Bourbon® is distilled and aged in small batches. Kentucky limestone-filtered water provides the foundation for the bourbon's character, while charred American oak barrels lend a smoky backbone. Its subtlety and complexity stem from its unique blend of rye, corn and barley malt, along with special strains of yeast. Because Bulleit Bourbon is especially high in rye content, it has a bold and spicy character with a distinctively smooth, clean finish. The result is placed into a bottle whose design has won awards of its own.
With the russet-hued liquid in an award-winning bottle, Bulleit Bourbon makes a tasteful gift for Father's Day or Christmas and is also a perfect Housewarming, Retirement or Bachelor Party gift.
Bottle Size: 750ml

With such a rich and influential sartorial history, it may come as a surprise that London Fashion Week is the youngest of the "Big Four" fashion weeks, following in the high-heeled footsteps of its older sisters: New York, Milan, and Paris. It was founded in 1984, a year after the creation of the British Fashion Council, and has since cemented London as the capital of avant-garde fashion with the help of such cutting-edge designers as the late Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, and the Grand Dame of punk, Vivienne Westwood.
London Fashion Week stays ahead of the pack by encouraging up-and- coming talent through its NEWGEN scheme, started in 1993 by the British Fashion Council. For the past 19 years, this program has offered designers financial support and an opportunity to showcase their work in one of the most high-profile venues in the world. Along with the aforementioned McQueen, NEWGEN has helped launch the careers of Mary Kantratzou, Meadham Kirchoff, Erdem, Duro Olowu, and House of Holland, among many others.
Another pioneering program unique to London Fashion Week is Estethica, a mentoring, sponsoring and showcasing program designed to encourage the use of fair trade, ethical business practices, and organic or recycled materials. Fifteen designers will exhibit their work this year, joining more than 100 who have been part of the showcase since its inception in 2006.
In 2012, London was the first city to hold an entire week focusing solely on menswear, which usually only warrants a handful of shows. Men's Week in mid-June fell about halfway between the normal Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter fashion seasons with an impressive first-year turnout of 86 designers. It will be interesting to see if any other cities choose to follow suit.
London Fashion Week was also the first to offer video streams of its catwalk shows, beginning in 2010. This year, viewers can watch 40 different shows live from the official website.
In addition to Estethica, other fashion week installations include a jewelry exhibition called Rock Vault, and Headonism, a millinery showcase sponsored by that pinnacle of British headwear, the Royal Ascot.
Much like the city of London itself, this marriage of tradition and innovation is reflected in the venue, Somerset House. Constructed by King Edward VI's uncle, the Duke of Somerset, in 1549, it was used by then-princess Elizabeth I before the original house was demolished in 1775. Subsequently rebuilt and used as a series of government offices, it has recently been featured as a location in such costume-heavy films as The Duchess and Guy Ritchie's Sherlock
Holmes. It is now home to London Fashion week as well as several other organizations, including the UK branch of the Australian-owned wool organization Woolmark International Party Limited.
Unique to London Fashion Week this year is the Inspired by Minnie Mouse launch, a partnership between such designers as cobbler-to-the-stars Terry de Havilland and jewelers Tatty Devine with the British Fashion Council and Bazaar Fashion Arts Foundation. Designers will create a one-off piece inspired by Minnie Mouse to be auctioned on eBay as a fundraising effort to help foster British design talent.
Other can't-miss events for Londoners include a designer jumble sale at The Church of the Annunciation on Bryanston Street, the proceeds of which will all be donated to charity.
For those of us not lucky enough to be in London for this fashion week, the collections can be viewed here and you can get up-to-the-second news on Twitter with @LondonFashionWk, hashtag
London Fashion Week runs from 14 – 18 September for the Spring/Summer 2013 collections.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado - Marijuana use among adolescents has been a concern for many decades, but never more so than since the advent of Colorado's medical marijuana industry in recent years, according to a panel of speakers at a community forum Tuesday night.
Debbie Wilde, executive director of YouthZone, which deals with at-risk youth from Aspen to Parachute, said 10 percent of their youth clients surveyed report using marijuana at least once a month.
That's 50 percent higher than for youth across the United States. Locally, the number of youth using marijuana daily has increased 50 percent in recent years, she said.
And, by and large, she said they admit getting the drug from medical marijuana patients.
"Medical marijuana has increased access for youth, and created a perception that it's OK," Wilde said.
The informational forum on medical marijuana and its impact on youth was sponsored by YouthZone, local health and business organizations and the Roaring Fork School District.
More than 200 people, including several parents who brought their children to hear the discussion, packed the Glenwood Springs Community Center meeting room.
In addition to representatives from YouthZone and substance abuse programs, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers was invited to speak.
Suthers offered harsh words for the state's medical marijuana policies, which he believes has made the drug more accessible to youth.
"In my opinion, the medical marijuana regime in Colorado is nothing more than a state-sanctioned fraud on the part of several thousand patients and a few dozen doctors, in violation of federal law," he said.
Of the roughly 130,000 authorized medical marijuana patients currently in Colorado, he said the vast majority are males in their 20s and 30s.
"Folks, that is precisely the demographic profile of recreational drug users in the state," Suthers said.
"I'm tempted to support legalization in an effort to get away from the government hypocrisy," he said. "But I won't do that ... because it would only increase the perception that there is no risk with this drug."
Dr. Paul Salmen, a Glenwood Springs family physician and founder of the Youth Recovery Center at Valley View Hospital, said marijuana affects teens differently than adults.
"I'm not here to condemn medical marijuana as an evil substance," Salmen said.
But, "marijuana in the brain of a teenager is a very different drug," he said, noting that it affects the reward center of the brain at a time when the brain is still in a very formative stage.
"Teenagers are not using marijuana for chronic pain or for cancer, they're using it for pleasure," Salmen said.
Shelley Evans, who founded the Red Mountain Adolescent and Family Center in Glenwood Springs four years ago, said 100 percent of the program's youth clients admit to marijuana use.
"Alcohol is still a problem among youth, but what we're seeing is they're drinking on the weekends but they're smoking marijuana on a daily basis," Evans said. One-fourth of the young people in the program also have parents who are medical marijuana patients, she said.
Glenwood Springs Police Chief Terry Wilson said marijuana arrests involving juveniles rose from 19 in 2008, before medical marijuana became prominent locally, to 48 last year and 31 through October this year.
Just in the last year, state and local regulations were put in place to enact controls on the medical marijuana industry, including safeguards to try to keep the drug out of the hands of teenagers and others not authorized to use it. No representatives from local dispensaries or industry associations spoke at the Glenwood Springs forum.

Not only would NicVAX be a first in market, it would create a whole new category in some untested waters—a vaccination against an addiction that some may view as a choice, a bad habit.
There will be criticism along the lines of "what's next, an alcohol vaccine so kids don't drink?" as there was concern that an HPV vaccine could possibly encourage a feeling of immunity that might lead to unprotected sex and/or promiscuity among young people.Promote the nicotine vaccine carefully and creatively, building a ramp-up of marketing assertiveness. Spokes-people are tailor-made for helping to launch and accelerate this process, and celebrities, for the most part, are universally accepted in this role.
Take lessons from very smart choices made throughout other first-in-market success stories. Launch accordingly with a serious message to the tune of "smoking causes cancer, but this vaccine will help you really quit and prevent that eventuality."
The early Viagra launch in the US used Bob Dole as a spokesperson, easing the country into the idea of talking about ED on TV. Pfizer marketing wisely took a serious tone, and for reasons mostly having to do with Managed Care, connected Viagra directly to ED caused by a disease: prostate cancer. Since Senator Dole had prostate surgery, the focus of the message was on postsurgical therapy aimed at making him whole. Positioning of the product has developed into something else, more about getting ready for a randy weekend than about recovering from cancer surgery. But Pfizer, with the help of Bob Dole, paved the way for an entirely new discussion in medicine. That would have to happen with NicVAX, too. Establish a serious tone, then get bolder as acceptance grows and resistance fades.
In the vaccine space, Merck's Gardasil launch likewise prepared the way for approaching sensitive topics. This time it used spokespeople patients to tell the story, in a serious tone, about the importance of vaccinating young people for HPV to prevent cancer.
Strategically depend on healthcare coverage. If the vaccine would require patients to pay out-of-pocket, a stronger consumer push is needed. We'd get Denis Leary as our spokesperson. Do some comparisons showing the cost of cigarettes over a year vs. the cost of the vaccine. Offer vaccine couponing on every carton of smokes. But if coverage could be obtained for health and preventative reasons, that would be the positioning at launch, and you'd be more successful using a more serious tone. Perhaps we'd make an appeal by using real-life children of smokers. That kind of campaign could build a patient base with an emotional appeal to ask your doctor, and create a public service anti-smoking halo for the brand.
Wait before promoting vaccination with adolescents. Perhaps after a year or two, you can begin to expand use in various markets, but first you have to build a foundation of professionals to advocate and support the discussion.

The attack, posted online Thursday by researchers at Secure Science, is an innocuous proof of concept that forces users to send out a predetermined Twitter message, but it could be repurposed into a very nasty worm, said Lance James, chief scientist at Secure Science. [Computer World]

The Stone Man Mountain scenic spot has been ranked as four-A level since the July of 2003.The total area of Stone Man Mountain is 268 square kilometers. Its main peak Yu Huang peak is 2153 meters high. The Stone Man Mountain was called Yao Mountain in ancient times, for Liu lei who is the grandson of Yao(the first emperor in Chinese history )built temple in honor of Yao. And, Mozhai who was one of the greatest thinker and social activist in the Warring States period was born at the foot of Yao Mountain.
Numerous peaks in the Stone Man Mountain are the blend of loftiness, steepness, gracefulness, grotesqueness and serenity. And in the mountain the thousand- year-old pine trees are fantastic and picturesque, the wave-like clouds seem to be a fairyland; the waterfalls are beyond the mundane elegance; and the landscapes can intrigue sensational emotions.
The Stone Man Mountain enjoys fantastic and bizarre peaks, a great deal of waterfalls, thick woods, excellent hot spring, and splendid culture landscapes. It is evaluated by experts as precipitous as Hua Mountain, abrupt as Er Men Mountain, beautiful as Zhangjiajie, graceful as Huang Mountain. Therefore, it is a good place for sightseeing, summer--spending, convalescing from illness, researching and exploring. The landscape scenery in the Stone Man Mountain varies all the year round: in spring, birds singing among sweet flowers, rivers murmuring among green trees; in autumn, the mountain covered with a red coat; in winter, the coat of the mountain changing into white.
The Stone Man Mountain landscape spot has formed its tourism pattern: one mountain, one lake and three travel lines. One mountain is the Stone Man Mountain which is an area for sightseeing, summer --spending, or searching for one's root. One lake is Zhao Ping Lake, which is a place for aquatic amusement. Three travel lines: the first one, Hanxin, Xiaohe and Zhangliang aeronautic exhibition— the birthplace of Niugao—the military and culture tourism place, Mi Dong resort;the second one , Wei Shu Temple—Folk Custom Village—Six Goat Mountain; the last one, Upper Soup—Middle Soup—Low Soup hot spring bath by the side of lake.
All kinds of service facilities are available in the scenic spot. There are cableways for sightseeing; the granite sideway is 2000 meters long which is entitled as "the world's number one sideway", and the granite road is 8 kilometers long which is "the best road of Chinese attractions."

Pettitte, Rivera pitch Yankees past Red Sox 4-2The Associated Press | April 05,2013NEW YORK Andy Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the season and Mariano Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New Yorks 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the sore four Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson. All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, and without them New York dropped its first two games at home to the rival Red Sox.
Gardner and Cervelli each hit a solo shot, the first homer for both since they went back-to-back off Baltimores Tommy Hunter on Sept. 6, 2011. Neither player spent much time on the active big league roster last season.

Re: Playing with HDR with the D300
Hi Forfie,
Thank you for your comments.
I used Photomatix to join and tone map the images and then Photoshop to adjust colors and so on. I've tried the the Merge to HDR option in Photoshop but I can't get consistent results, it's much easier in Photomatix. They have a free demo so you can try it, and it's just US$99.
As for the dust spot, I didn't even notice, what an eye you have. This will the first time I use the rocket blower

American Idol: Kara DioGuardi Says Bikini Striptease Saved Her Job
March 15, 2010 07:17 AM by Nancy Floyd
Despite her years of songwriting success in the music industry, American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi thinks she owes her job to her bikini bod. Fans of the FOX singing competition were shocked during last year's season finale when Kara DioGuardi stripped down to a teeny tiny bikini after dueting with a notorious Idol hopeful dubbed Bikini Girl. Now the American Idol judge is speaking out about the performance saying that it probably saved her career…
Kara DioGuardi had just completed her first year as a fourth judge on American Idol when she shocked viewers with a rousing duet and a quickie striptease. After critiquing a contestant dubbed Bikini Girl earlier in the season, the 38-year old American Idol judge joined Bikini Girl onstage during the season finale and sang a duet of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love." After showing off her relatively impressive vocal range, Kara DioGuardi ripped open her black dress to show off her sexy bikini body.
It was an unusual move, but the American Idol says it was a turning point in her career. "It probably saved my job," she says of the stunt. "It was a defining moment. Like, 'She's serious and industry, but also as kooky as everyone else on this panel.'" Despite the fact that it was a game-changing play for Kara DioGuardi, it was no small feat for the producers to actually get her to agree to the stunt.
"I kept saying no," she tells Women's Health magazine. "I mean, what crazy nut is gonna go out there in a bikini at almost 40 years of age against a girl who is 20 and probably cosmetically enhanced?" Despite her initial reservations, fans of American Idol know that Kara DioGuardi finally agreed to the idea and now she's looking at the upside. "I looked a little pasty. But hey, at least I didn't wet myself!"

Jay-Z's "Life and Times" blog recently caught up with Roc Nation producer Jahlil Beats as a part of their artist video interview series. During the interview, the Pennsylvania producer discussed his upbring in Chester, PA. He said that it's a blessing to sign with Hova coming out of his neighborhood, and added that it's actually where he met Meek Mill.
"I come from one of the worst projects from Chester, PA, so for me to even sign with Jay-Z, that is like a dream. I've got a lot to prove, I'm excited," he said. "I grew up in [that] neighborhood from elementary school to high school, and when I got to college, I lost my financial aid, so I ended up coming back. That's when I met Meek [Mill], and that's when I really started taking [music] serious."
The "I'm A Boss" maestro also explained that his musical prowess actually runs in the family. He said that his dad used to be in a band, and that his dad's home studio where where he first began to make music.
"I come from a heavy music background," he explained. "My pops - he came had a little band back in the day. We had a little home studio and we used to cut little demos, singing and rapping and stuff. I mean, that's how I started. My Ma used to dance, too."

A 74 page collection of photographs and reference taken at the 2011 Pictoplasma Character and Animation festival in Berlin.
Four nights in Berlin to view the city's infamous street art and attend the Pictoplasma Festival entailed myself running around the city as fast as possible to cram every exhibition and lecture available in my alloted time before dashing home to attend a wedding. Not to mention plenty of the samplings of das German beers!
As an up-and-coming animator it was a very inspirational experience both from the view point of character design and styles of working.

abdomen; males have three. Apple maggot is currently established
only in northern California from Sonoma County north.
Identification of species | Life cycle
In soft-fleshed apple varieties a small, dark, decayed spot occurs at the oviposition site. In hard-fleshed
varieties, the oviposition site results in a dimple. Young larvae tunnel throughout the apple flesh, leaving
a small, brown, irregular, threadlike trail. The tunnels enlarge as the larvae grow; eventually decay
organisms enter the fruit and cause internal rotting and fruit drop.
Sanitation is very important in controlling apple maggot.
Clean up fallen fruit and discard. To detect presence of
adults, hang yellow sticky traps in trees; traps attract
flies in search of food. If you find apple maggot in counties
where it has not been reported, contact your local
Agricultural Commissioner's Office or Cooperative Extension
Office. Sticky
red sphere traps hung in trees can help control
maggots. Applications of spinosad made mid-July
and repeated every 7 to 10 days if necessary can also help
control this pest.

Unless the Underground Gourmet is experiencing a medical or cooking emergency and speeding posthaste to Mount Sinai hospital or Kitchen Arts & Letters (the great cookbook shop), we find little need to venture to the East Nineties intersection of Carnegie Hill and East Harlem. To those exigencies of life, we can now add a third: a bite to eat at Earl's Beer & Cheese, a neighborhood bar so discreetly located some of its closest neighbors barely know it's there. The young crowd is ebullient but civilized (and mercifully free of frat-house yahoos), good tunes are played at conversation-friendly decibel levels, and the bar-food menu never fails to surprise or satisfy. Having said that, culinary pilgrims should note that the space is tight and it's decidedly a bar rather than a restaurant. You are kindly asked to order from the bartender, and depending on the night and the hour, if you're not lucky enough to wriggle into an inside seat at the single communal table (fashioned from a slab of an old bowling alley, no less), you might have to scarf your snack standing along a narrow ledge, all the while being gently and apologetically jostled by an off-duty Mount Sinai resident, or a bespectacled beer geek singing the praises of the frequently-changing tap selection. (There's also a rotating roster of craft cans with a few nostalgic quirks thrown in for fun.)
Still, despite the place's super-convivial vibe and tasty beer, the Underground Gourmet is always most motivated by the victuals, and Earl's Beer & Cheese had us at the Calabro-mozzarella grilled cheese on a Thomas' English muffin. The crazy-genius idea behind this concoction is the inclusion of dill-pickle slices, potato chips, and a hearty slathering of miso mayo smooshed into the sandwich. It sounds horribly wrong, but tastes incredibly right. Nearly as delicious is another seemingly loony-bin invention featuring New York State Cheddar melted over braised pork belly with kimchee and a fried egg on griddle-toasted sourdough. Man, is it good. Both sandwiches are the inspired work of chef Corey Cova, who comes to Earl's from earlier stints at Michael Symon's Lolita, Morimoto, and, perhaps most tellingly, Momofuku Ssäm Bar, whose presence is felt in the hearty reliance on pork and eggs and the canny integration of Asian flavors on an otherwise all-American comfort-food menu. But cheese is still the thing, and it is everywhere: blended with Sriracha into an outrageously tasty beer-cheese spread or combined with shredded chicken in a mug of tangy mac and cheese. (The beer cheese also makes an appearance in Earl's Torpedo, where it's smeared in a potato hot dog bun along with blue cheese, buffalo chicken, and lettuce.) Beyond a bowl of mildly spiced tomato soupno, wait, that has cream in itthe lactose-intolerant have little recourse. Which, you have to admit, is just as it should be at a place called Earl's Beer & Cheese, an excellent ambassador for all things hoppy, malty, and dairy, in a neighborhood where those pickings are particularly slim.

The AFC West has the potential to make or break many Fantasy seasons with Ryan Mathews, Jamaal Charles and Darren McFadden among the biggest risk-reward picks on Draft Day. Let's take a look at some of the key players you need to focus on from this division in 2012.
Spotlight player
Ryan Mathews, RB, Chargers: Mathews may be the ultimate boom or bust pick in the first round this year. He has as good a shot as anyone to finish as the top Fantasy running back, but he also has a nagging injury history that is hard to ignore. Show of hands (I know, you're reading): How many of you knew that Mathews was the eighth-ranked Fantasy running back in 2011, despite missing some time with injuries and sharing with Mike Tolbert? That eighth-place finish is his downside this year if he plays 13 or more games in my opinion.
Last year, Mathews ran for 1,091 yards and six scores on an impressive 4.9 yards per carry to go with 50 grabs and 455 yards receiving. He averaged 110.5 total yards per game and was one of five running backs to top 100 total yards in at least 10 games last year, with the others being Ray Rice, Arian Foster, Maurice Jones-Drew and LeSean McCoy. The only thing that kept him from being a superstar in 2011 was the lack of scoring chances, but that will change with Tolbert leaving via free agency. Tolbert scored 21 touchdowns over the last two years, so you have to think half of those scores will find their way to Mathews. After all, Mathews had a better red zone scoring rate (23.8 to 19.2 percent) and a better goal line scoring rate (80 percent to 27.3 percent) than Tolbert in 2011. Mathews scored on four of his five chances from up close last year, which was the second best mark among the 51 runners with at least four chances.
In 2011, Tolbert was eighth in the league with 52 red zone opportunities and ranked tied for third with 22 goal line chances. If Mathews can get just half of Tolbert's scoring chances, he will produce double-digit touchdowns easily. The Chargers average a league high 991 yards receiving per year over the last three for their running backs, so Mathews is likely to pick up some of Tolbert's yardage there as well. Last year, he caught a remarkable 50 of his 55 targets and his 84.7 percent catch rate was second best while his 7.6 yards per target average was third among all runners. The kid has skills people!
Given that Tolbert caught 54 passes of his own last year, it's clear that a 75 catch season is not at all out of the question for Mathews. Keep in mind that in the only two games that Mathews has started with Tolbert inactive, he produced 251 total yards and three scores. Mathews clearly has 2,000 plus total yard and double digit touchdown potential this season. The only question is will he stay healthy enough to realize it. So far, Mathews has missed six games in his two-year career, but all reports out of San Diego indicate that he is in the best shape of his career and looks poised to carry the load.
Here is one last fun fact: In the six career games in which Mathews has carried the ball at least 20 times, he has never been held below 13 Fantasy points, has a 100 percent consistency rate, a 50 percent big game rate and has totaled 819 yards with seven touchdowns. That all equates to 20.6 points per game! When healthy, Mathews will produce top five numbers and if he plays 16 games he could easily be looking down on everyone else. Mathews is the fourth running back on my board in both standard and PPR leagues and he makes a good (albeit slightly scary pick) in the middle of the first round.
Breakout players
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos: Thomas should be a big-time breakout receiver with Peyton Manning in town for 2012. He is an unbelievable combination of size at 6'3", 224 pounds and speed with a reported 40-yard dash time of 4.36.
Last year, with Tim Tebow at quarterback, Thomas was a surprisingly dominant Fantasy receiver, finishing 11th at the position from Week 13 on. In his final seven games (Week 13 through his two playoff games) Thomas caught 35 passes for 745 yards and four touchdowns on 65 targets. In that magical run, Thomas averaged an elite 11.5 yards per target, 21.3 yards per catch and 106 yards per game.
He is not the precise route runner that Peyton may want, but he is the most physically gifted and imposing receiver that Manning has ever had at his disposal. Thomas converted a very solid 33 percent of his red zone targets into scores last year and you have to think he will see more than six passes in scoring situations this year. Thomas is the one receiver in Denver who could break out to 1,300 yard and 12 touchdown levels (although I think there is only a small chance he explodes like that) with Manning in town and I think he is a great second receiver to gamble on in the early-middle rounds. Thomas is a gamble simply because he's battled injuries throughout his young career and has not yet played in more than 11 games in a season. Still, the upside is worth the risk and he did not miss any time after returning to the lineup in Week 7 last year. I really think Thomas can be a difference maker in 2012 and offers top 10 upside in the early fifth round.
Denarius Moore, WR, Raiders: Moore is my pick for the breakout Oakland receiver in 2012 after a very impressive rookie season that saw him finish as the 39th-ranked receiver despite missing three games. He caught 33 passes for 618 yards and five scores to go with 61 yards and a touchdown as a rusher. He was very good with Carson Palmer at quarterback as well, posting a 50 percent consistency rate and averaging just under 10 points per game. He caught 19 passes for 406 yards (ridiculous 21.4 yards per catch) and three scores in his six games with Palmer, which would translate to 51 catches for 1,083 yards and eight scores over 16 full games. Those 16 game totals would have made Moore the 13th-ranked Fantasy receiver last year, tied with Brandon Marshall with 156 points, and that doesn't even include his rushing totals.
What I like about Moore is that he averaged 10 yards per target with Palmer at quarterback and was a dominant big-play receiver at over 21 yards per reception. I want to see him more involved in the red zone though, but at least he did score on one of his two red zone targets. For a receiver to be a consistent scorer, he needs to be a factor in the red zone, and that will be a key item to watch in Moore's development. However, if you are in a big-play bonus league, you have to like that Moore scored five of his six touchdowns from 21 or more yards.
The other area that Moore really needs to improve on is his target conversion rate. For the year, Moore caught only 43.4 percent of his targets, fifth worst among the 91 receivers who saw at least 50 targets. He did catch 47 percent of his targets from Carson Palmer, but he needs to be over 50 percent and should be closer to 60 percent to become a reliable and consistent threat. I get that he hits huge plays, but I'd gladly trade a yard or three per catch for a 10 percent jump in his catch rate. With a full offseason to work with Palmer, I think the sky is the limit. From talking to some Raiders players, they do too. I like Moore as your third receiver and love him as your fourth receiver on Draft Day this year, because he has tons of upside. I would not at all be shocked to see him finish in the top 24.
Robert Meachem, WR, Chargers: After years of showing flashes of brilliance in New Orleans, Robert Meachem will get his shot at being an every-down receiver with the Chargers. In New Orleans, Meachem never saw more than 70 targets in a season, but that did not stop him from being very productive.
In 2009, Meachem was the 22nd-ranked Fantasy receiver and averaged a mind-boggling 2.05 Fantasy points per target. Meachem is one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL and over the last four years he has done as much with his targets as any receiver in the league. Since he entered the league in 2008, 127 receivers have seen at least 100 targets. Of those 127, Meachem ranks first in touchdown rate (10.3 percent), first in Fantasy points per target (1.8) and is eighth at 10.2 yards per target. To put it in easier-to-understand terms, at his career efficiency levels, Meachem would produce 1,200 yards, 10 touchdowns and 180 Fantasy points if he were to see just 100 targets in a season. That Fantasy-point total (180) has finished in the top five at receiver in every year except for 2011, when it would have placed seventh.
I am not expecting that kind of finish for Meachem, but the potential is certainly there as he moves into a starting role. He also catches 63 percent of his targets for his career, so the former first-rounder stacks up very favorably to the man he is replacing (Vincent Jackson) and should push for 1,000 yards and 6-8 scores. He has upside on those numbers and is a great upside third receiver for your teams on Draft Day.
Honorable mention: Eric Decker, WR, Broncos, Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Raiders, Carson Palmer, QB, Raiders
Malcom Floyd, WR, Chargers: Floyd is flying under the radar this year, but has as good a chance to breakout as his teammate Robert Meachem.
Floyd has really hit his stride the last two years with back-to-back top 36 finishes at the receiver position, thanks to his remarkable efficiency. In 2011, Floyd saw only 70 targets but caught 43 of them (61.4 percent) for a career best 856 yards (career high 19.9 yards per catch) and five scores. He finished as the 30th-ranked Fantasy receiver, scoring 115 points on the year despite playing in only 12 games and ranked second among all receivers with a ridiculous 12.2 yards per target average. In those 12 games, Floyd had a 50 percent consistency rate and a solid 25 percent big game rate, both of which would have been top 12 at the position over 16 games.
Amazingly, he did that despite struggling in the red zone, where he scored on just one of his eight targets. Floyd has missed nine games over the last two years, but if he can stay healthy you have to love his upside because he has been on pace for 1,100 yards and nearly eight scores a season if you extrapolate his per-game averages in 2010 and 2011. Over the last three years (which is when Floyd became a full time player for the Chargers), Floyd is fifth among the 150 most targeted receivers with a 10.5 yards per target average and is 12th at 1.38 points per target.
I am not expecting a much higher workload for Floyd this year, but if he plays 16 games he will top 1,000 yards. He has as much upside as Meachem to me, but you can get him as your fourth receiver on Draft Day. I think he is a great pick at that spot in the ninth round.
Jacob Tamme, TE, Broncos: All you need to know about Tamme is what he did as the starter in place of the injured Dallas Clark for the last 10 games of 2010. Tamme was a stud in those games, finishing the year with 67 catches for 631 yards and four touchdowns. He was on pace for over 100 catches and a 1,000-yard season if he had been a 16-game starter and was the third-ranked tight end once he took over the job.
Despite being non-existent before Clark went down, Tamme still finished 2010 tied for eighth among tight ends with a 44 percent consistency rate (70 percent in games started) and was tied for fifth with a 25 percent big game rate (40 percent in games started). Tamme also caught a solid 73.6 percent of his targets, fourth best among the 32 most targeted tight ends that year. He did average a paltry 9.4 yards per catch that year and is not a dynamic big-play tight end, but he has sure hands and could catch 70 passes this year.
Tamme has shown that he can play at a very high level with Manning at quarterback and that's exactly the situation he finds himself in for the 2012 season after following his quarterback to Denver. He is a great sleeper this year with top-10 potential and is an ideal piece of a tight end tandem should you miss out on the elite tight ends earlier in your drafts.
Mike Goodson, RB, Raiders: The Goody Mob looks like the likely handcuff for McFadden owners on Draft Day, but that could change if the Raiders decide to bring in another back as insurance.
For now, consider Goodson a must have if you take McFadden and know that he has shown some promise as an injury fill-in before. In 2010, Goodson made his only two career starts and topped 100 yards rushing in both of them (220 yards total) to go with 44 yards receiving. He had a streak of five straight games with 100 yards rushing or a touchdown in that season and averaged a healthy 4.5 yards per carry. He also caught 40 passes in 2010 for 310 yards, so he can be a three-down back if called upon. Given McFadden's injury history, it is likely that Goodson will make at least one start for an Oakland team that has averaged a league high 144 yards rushing per game over the last two years. That's why Goodson is a must have for McFadden owners and is a great late-round grab even if you don't draft McFadden, provided he remains second on the depth chart in Oakland.

Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs: Bowe has been the crown jewel of the Chiefs' passing attack and is one of three receivers in the league (Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson are the other two) to lead his team in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in each of the last three seasons.
Bowe has been a top 20 Fantasy receiver in each of his last three full seasons, with his best season coming in 2010, when he caught 72 passes for 1,162 yards and 15 touchdowns to finish as the second-ranked receiver. I was skeptical about his touchdown production being repeatable and was not too surprised to see Bowe fall to five touchdowns in 2011. After all, if you take away the 2010 season (which was also an anomaly for Matt Cassel), Bowe has totaled just 21 touchdowns in his other 59 NFL games. To be fair, Bowe did catch four of his five touchdowns and posted all three of his 100 yard receiving games in the first nine games of the year with Matt Cassel under center in 2011. In fact, if you take his nine-game totals with Cassel of 41 catches for 663 yards and four scores and put those over a 16-game schedule, Bowe would have produced 160.5 Fantasy points or good for his 12th at the position.
I like that he is very involved in the offense and has averaged over 8.2 yards per target in each of the last two seasons despite seeing at least 131 targets each year. He ranked sixth with 142 targets last year and if he can get his scoring back up towards the seven to eight touchdown level, he will have a shot at another top 15 finish.
I am concerned about a couple of things, however. First, he had a career-low 17.3 percent red zone scoring rate in 2011 after posting three straight years at 30 percent or better. Given that the Chiefs do not average 200 yards passing per game with Cassel under center, touchdowns are critical to Bowe's value. He does not have a single 1,200-yard season under his belt and that is not likely to change, so he needs to snag eight touchdowns to be a top 20 receiver.
The other concern is his potential contract dispute and the impact that any missed time could have on his chemistry with Cassel, who is returning from an injury. Outside of a freakish year like 2010 when Bowe caught an unsustainable 55 percent of his team's touchdowns, how much upside is there for a receiver who has a quarterback averaging 199 yards and one touchdown passing per game? That lack of upside is why I rank Bowe as a steady but lower-tier second receiver for your teams.
