Tag: Warren Ellis
Writing: How do you know when you're done?
by Nojh on May.14, 2011, under Articles, Comic Suggestions, Comics, Writing
Warren Ellis, one of the writers that I admire primarily for this works in comics but also for some of his editorial works, made a post on his blog today, announcing that he was finished writing FREAKANGLES, his free comic which he posts online.
It is not a comic I link too often as it doesn't lend itself to such linking, but it is a comic I highly suggest.
This post answered a question for me that I didn't know I needed answered. As a writer, when do I know when I am done?
When you get to the ending of something that long, the last thing you're thinking about is whether or not people will like it, or whether they'll hate that it's ending. You're just trying to get down the ending that you thought of at the start, and making sure everything fits, and killing a last few darlings to smooth out the joins, and doing your best to ensure the thing holds together the way it should. And I'm done with that, after four and a bit days down in the mines with it.
Time for The Cigarette Of Victory, I think.
While I'm not promoting cigarette smoking, I think you can see his point. Perhaps this isn't the most quantitative method but it certainly is a method.

Article: How I Became a Comic Book Consumer, Part 5
by Nojh on Feb.07, 2011, under Articles, Comic Suggestions, Comics, Entertainment, Visual Media
This is the final part of an ongoing series inspired by Faith Erin Hick's article "How I Became a Comic Book Consumer". To read any of the prior parts, click here.
Last time I discussed the Marvel comics that started how I became a comic book consumer as an adult. I also made mention of Brian K. Vaughn, writer of a comic called Runaways. Like Warren Ellis, Craig Kyle, Masashi Kishimoto,Phil Foglio & Kaja Foglio, and Shirow Masamune, Brian K. Vaughn led me into other comics that would soon have a permanent position on my book shelves.
It was through Brian and a few friends of mine that I discovered Y: The Last Man and it quickly became one of my favorite comics next to Elfquest, Girl Genius, and Transmetropolitan. It focused on, literally, the last man on earth and the subsequent apocalypse society. It sounds like a cheesy b-movie plot or perhaps the start of a really bad porno but it instead molds itself into an epic story of survival. If you need proof, Y: The Last Man was nominated for a Hugo award and won an Eisner award.
In the comic we follow the story of Yorick who manages to survive a mysterious event that simultaneously kills off every other mammal possessing the Y chromosome on the planet, save for him Capuchin monkey, named Ampersand. We follow him and his friends and enemies, as people come to gripes with such a staggering event. Lasting sixty issues, the ending is something I wish I could get everyone to read.
Brian K. Vaughn then led me to Ex Machina, a currently on going story by him focusing on a retired superhero known as The Great Machine who wins the election to become the mayor of New York City in the wake of 9/11. The story explores his term in office as well as gives flashbacks to his life as a super hero and how the two bleed together, creating yet another compelling, and rather adult, drama.
By this point I was very much into reading comics again. I used the names of writers and artists I had collected through the years and began making lists of comics, using Wikipedia and Amazon to piece together what graphic novels I needed to complete story arches. Now, at least, I could read comics without worrying about missing issues! as long as I was willing to spend the money and/or hunt through good used book stores.
This actually catches us up to more or less modern days. I'm still reading comics, obviously. Here are some examples.
I still collect Masashi Kisimoto's Naruto and a regular subscription to the American version of Shonen Jump keeps my interest in various other mangas such as One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Bleach. Shirow Masamune has made sure that I am always on the look out for some kind of Ghost in the Shell product, comics preferred but anime and books, I'll gobble up. One of the current manga series I would like to read is called Bakuman, focusing on one teenager's attempt to become a manga writer, and another is Hikaru no go, focusing on another teenager's slow mastery of the Japanese game Go.
Craig Kyle and the Marvel Messiah Complex/Second Coming story-lines have kept me collecting X-Men graphic novels as they came out and introduced me to the re-start of X-Factor (Vol.3 ), which has quickly become my favorite X-Men title with its awesome writing of the character Jamie Madrox/Multiple Man and the introduction of the character Layla Miller (she knows stuff, be careful). There is also an ongoing X-23 series being published that I'm eagerly waiting to be collected into graphic novels.
I, of course, never stopped reading web comics. They're the cheapest and most accessible of all the comics I love to read, plus I can easily share them among my friends and readers. Here is a small list of some of the best comics you can find online in no particular order.
Girl Genius, Scholock Mercenary, Gunnerkrigg Court, Templar, Arizona, Goblins, Guilded Age, Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, Weregeek, Scenes From A Multiverse, Order of the Stick, Erfworld, Dominic Deegan, Something Positive, Evil Diva, Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Darwin Carmichael is Going to Hell, El Goonish Shive, Demonology 101, The Adventures of Superhero Girl, Freakangles, Bob and George: The Comic Strip, 8-Bit Theater, and many more.
So looking over it all, I guess you could say I've always been a comic book consumer. My initial entry into comics was due to overlaps between the comic industry and other media, and while I've taken hiatus, the adoption of collecting comics into graphic novels proved to be exactly what I needed to sustain a comic habit. Combine that with excellent writing, varying genres, and stories for all age groups, and I will likely be a comic reader for the rest of my life.
The future of comics, like almost all forms of entertainment, will be undergoing changes in the digital age. Right now it seems to be trying to re-invent the old model, renting individual comics for prices only slightly less of their print versions for different reading platforms. One or two have adapted a subscription model. Both still DRM their content to make it inaccessible by means other than approved, and usually constrictive, methods. And there are still online comics, the particularly popular ones effectively earning their creators a living through donations, merchandising, and advertising. It'll be interesting to see where this heads but unlike the music or movie industry, I suspect comics will fare better overall.
So I hope you enjoyed this article and found something in it you liked. Keep subscribed to this feed or keeping checking back now and again, as more articles of this type will appear, sooner or later.
Article & Comic Links: How I Became a Comic Book Consumer, Part 3
by Nojh on Feb.03, 2011, under Books, Comic Links, Comic Suggestions, Comics, Entertainment, Visual Media
This is part three of an ongoing series inspired by Faith Erin Hick's article "How I Became a Comic Book Consumer". To read the first part, click here. To read the second part, click here.
So last time I talked about one of the most influential comics of my childhood, Elfquest, and the type of comic which led me to create this blog, online comics.
Online comics were basically it for me for years. My return to print comics was my friend introducing me to Transmetropolitan and by extension, Warren Ellis.
Transmetropolitan was an eye opener for me in that it took what Marvel tried to do and succeeded. It translated printed comics into something other than a super hero genre. Elfquest did that, most certainly, but at the time I considered it still a child's story. How wrong I was but I wouldn't re-read Elfquest as an adult for several years yet. Transmetropolitan made comics something that the adult in me could enjoy, which was not a hurdle I was looking to jump, as I still enjoyed good children's content but knowing that there were comics that tackled complex themes was inspiring.
Transmetropolitan is a comic set in the future. But unlike Star Trek or Star Wars, this future is actually rather familiar even when it is bizarrely different. It is a tale about a man named Spider Jerusalem, a journalist of the traditional kind, and the stories he tells about a corrupt and thriving American culture in the not too distant future. Though Spider's… unique personality, we see how powerful words can be to effect change in society.
It was something of a mind-blowing book for me. I was introduced to several trans-human concepts I had never heard of before, although I didn't know or really understand them at the time, on top of an amazingly written story and an asshole of a character that I came to love over the span of sixty issues. My friend who introduced me owned all of them, except for some of the initial ones in graphic novel form and I read them all each individually. When I discovered the entire series was being collected into graphic novels, I made a point of collecting those too. If you have some interest in the comic but you're not sure you want to purchase a paper copy, half of the issues are available through DC's online comic store here.
Transmetropolitan was also the first comic to help me get over my insistence upon certain art styles. As a child I very much preferred the artistic styles of the Marvel artists and Wendy Pini's talented artwork. I did not like the style Darick Robertson, the artist for Transmetropolitan, initially. In fact it took three issues before I was hooked on Transmet and I put off reading those issues for a short while. I went through the same issue with reading Girl Genius and becoming familiar with Phil Foglio's art style. Both share a love for detail in their backgrounds that help define their worlds and it's a style I've come to love. Transmet helped teach me that I shouldn't judge a comic by its artwork but by how the artwork and writing blend together.
Transmetropolitan was also the first comic that helped me call attention to a particular writer. I was aware of Wendy and Richard Pini (the creators of Elfquest) but I'd known that Elfquest was their only comic, at the time. Warren Ellis, on the other hand, had written multitudes of comics. This information would be filed away for later when I really got back into comics. At the time though, Transmet was a blip on the almost flat-lined electrocardiogram of my comic reading history. I was beating slowly along with online comics but Transmet created a very profound blip on the chart.
L5: A new hard sci-fi web series
by Nojh on Jan.27, 2011, under Entertainment, Trailers, Visual Media
Warren Ellis once again linked something of interest.
So someone out there wants to make a hard science sci-fi web series. And it looks like they're going to succeed. Since I no longer subscribe to cable television I am a minor proponent of web series, especially if the content is open to donations or charges for extra content. Even if they use advertising because honestly, once you stop watching TV, you start to miss the variety of commercials out there. If you liked the above trailer, the website is full of stuff for you to look at. They're also calling for participation and help, including a (now ended) KickStarter and a call for tweeting and blogging the thing. Actually I just paused the last sentence to read the helping out section of the webpage. Apparently this blog entry is going to earn me a free DVD possibly. Cool.
In all honesty the above trailer made me start this blog post, not the idea of a free DVD, I swear. Well the above trailer and a part of this synopsis:
Imagine returning from an exhausting adventure only to find that your home is abandoned, empty. Not just your home, but your neighborhood, your city, in fact, everyone, everywhere, seems to be missing. This is what happens to the crew of the first manned mission to Barnard's Star – they return after awakening from suspended animation to find that their ship-board AI has sent them on a relativistic tour of the stellar neighborhood while they slumbered, dilating time so severely that nearly 200 years have passed on Earth. After coming to, they discover their vessel is adrift at LaGrange point 5, within visual range of a vast O'neill cylinder-colony. The night side of the Earth shows no lights, and no one answers their calls across all frequencies. They have no choice but to dock with the colony and explore its cavernous interior in the hopes of finding help. When they find the colony to be airless and devoid of life, the remains of human civilization baking in the Sun for decades, their predicament becomes even more dire.
Sorry but that just sounds cool to me. Here is hoping this has momentum and episodes get released quickly enough not to loose that momentum. I've added their blog to my RSS feed so hopefully this'll be pretty easy.
What does Warren Ellis use to write? (And DropBox)
by Nojh on Nov.12, 2010, under Articles, Comics, Computers, Writing
So I'm a bit of a fan of Warren Ellis. Most of the time. I've found that I don't like all of his work but I do like a lot of his work, and I love Transmetropolitan. The above link takes you to a blog post where he talks what tools he uses to write.
The thing that struck me the most was his backup system. I've been struggling to figure out a backup system for my own development purposes. I write, game design, and contract software work on the side of my day job, plus I have three to five digital devices that I would like to regularly share data with.
One particular service that Warren Ellis comments on is DropBox. Others have mentioned this service before. I even have it installed on my computer. But despite being a software designer and a computer scientist, I found the idea of The Cloud a little disturbing from a privacy standpoint. Perhaps this is because nobody has really ever explained the cloud to me so much as I've just heard about it.
So does anybody know what stops people who give you access to "the cloud" from snooping through your files? Anyone regularly use DropBox that also shares this concern? Is encryption a possibility?
Considering I'm very trusting of Google and how they basically store my entire life in my gmail/google account. You'd think this wouldn't be a big issue but there is a difference, somewhere. I'm just not sure where.
TRANSMETROPOLITAN available online
by Nojh on Nov.12, 2010, under Comic Links, Comic Suggestions, Comics, Entertainment
TRANSMET is one of my favorite print comics and it is now available at the DC Digital comic store, at least the first six issues. If you've never read TRANSMET this is probably the cheapest way to get into it. I admit I didn't really like the art to begin with or the first issue, but Spider Jerusalem quickly became a favorite character of mine, and ironically, a great inspiration in regards to the power of writing. It is one of two comics whose ending has literally had me yelling at the pages.
Which is a good thing, believe me.
Ellis says that picking up the individual digital comics is slightly cheaper than actually grabbing the collection, although I can almost assure you that you'll end up collecting a print copy if you start reading.
Filthy assistants! To me!
by Nojh on Nov.07, 2010, under Films, Reviews
Finally saw the movie RED. Hilarious, touching, and definitely up there as one of my favorite action comedies. Will likely purchase a copy so I can watch Bruce Willis pretend to be unsure about whether a girl likes him or not. And I didn't know Karl Urban was such a versatile actor. Apparently he was just in a lot of semi-bad films or bit parts in decent films. This gives me a lot of hope for him as Judge Dredd.
The comedy and acting level was spot on. When the entire audience laughs just because of a facial expression, you know they did something right. Man the bedroom scene near the beginning of the film with him reading the book. And the bedroom scene later with her while he is visiting Morgan freeman? Hilarity. I can also see why the film is a hit with almost all ages from old to young. Good comedy, good acting, distinct messages that appeal to all types.
If you haven't seen it, try and catch a showing. It won't be in theaters for much longer.
I wonder how much it differs from the comics… probably a lot.
Apex Magazine brings us a different perspective in speculative fiction
by Nojh on Sep.09, 2010, under Articles, Writing
Apex Magazine Plans An Issue Of Arab/Muslim Writers (WarrenEllis.com)
So to quickly summarize, the editor, Cat Valente, of a speculative fiction magazine called Apex Magazine I will be likely picking up after I post this, has declared that one particular issue in the future will carry narratives from Muslim and Arab writers as a feature theme. This is in result to another author, Elizabeth Moon, writing a blog post that apparently made a lot of writers angry/shocked, and, to quote a friend, made a well known troll of the writing sphere sound like the voice of reason.
Here it he link to the actual Moon blog entry in question although it's proceeding commentary was deleted. But I think what you should take out of this is what Cat Valente has decided to do in response. I have often wondered what it'd be like to read novels from different cultures. I've read some English translated Japanese novels, spin offs of popular manga series I like. Manga is an interesting import since it has been a narrative mode in Japan since before America's inference post WW2, and the cultural differences I think is what made their speculative fiction so interesting and innovative to me.
I'm not sure I could imagine what might come of a Muslim or Arab speculative fiction, but now I am very curious and hopeful. Anyone else want to read that particular issue with me and discuss it later?

Posted by Maritime New Zealand on 10/01/2012
The stern section of the MV Rena is perched on the edge of the Astrolabe Reef, with about 75 percent submerged and the remainder sticking up out of the water, Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) says.
A small amount of oil has been released from the stern section, along with debris – mostly timber – and a small number of containers.
MNZ trajectory modelling shows that the first oil is likely to reach Motiti Island this evening with more predicted to reach the shore at Pukehina tomorrow, National On Scene Commander Alex van Wijngaarden said.
"This was not unexpected,†Mr van Wijngaarden said. "We are prepared, and we will deal with it.â€
Oil spill response teams are gearing up to clean up the oil, including placing booms in sensitive areas, and the oiled wildlife centre in Tauranga is being reactivated.
The volunteer programme is also being reactivated, and anyone wishing to assist with cleaning beaches should register on-line through the Bay of Plenty Regional Council's website www.boprc.govt.nz/oilspillvolunteers
The amount of oil released has not yet been calculated, but is known to be only a fraction of the size of spill released last October.
Container recovery company Braemar Howells estimates that 400 containers are in the stern section of the Rena. Spokesman Grant Dyson said that two tugs have been sent to the Rena to try and contain drifting containers, and also tow any floating containers to a specialised recovery barge that was being deployed.
The tug Go Canopus is still connected to the stern section of the Rena. This morning when it became apparent that the angle of its list was changing, salvors took the opportunity to try and use the tug to reposition the rear section on the reef, which would have enabled the container recovery barge Smit Borneo to move in closer. This proved impossible.
The bow section of the Rena remains in its original position on the reef.
Meanwhile, work is continuing on-shore to deal with the debris released at the weekend when the two sections of the Rena separated on Saturday night.
Fifty people are working on Waihi Beach today, made up of iwi, Allied Workforce and staff from mining company Newmont. Another 30 people are working from Papamoa to Kaituna Cut and a further 20 are on Matakana Island.
Debris retrieved from the water yesterday has already been brought ashore at the Port of Tauranga. Work is also planned to empty the containers which landed on Waihi Beach yesterday, so the empty containers can be removed.
Over 20 containers beached on Manakana Island overnight and planning is underway to deal with these, Mr Dyson said.
Braemar Howells has activated 11 hubs, which are mini coordination centres, along 100km of the coast. An agreement between the company and iwi provides for their local labour force to be associated with debris clean-up efforts.

Again?! Allen uses 4th-quarter comeback to thwart another 8-5A opponent; Hebron victim this time
CARROLLTON — Hebron seemed in control when it opened the second half with two quick scores. The crowd at Hawks Stadium was jumping, ready to celebrate a victory over Allen.
But the Eagles never panicked. Instead, they followed their well-rehearsed dramatic comeback script to a 28-21 victory Friday night.
Afterward, the Eagles had plenty to celebrate. They clinched the Division I top seed and at least a share of the District 8-5A title, their sixth straight.
"I'd rather we not be in these tight games, but it's great that we can win them," Allen coach Tom Westerberg said. "At this point, I'll take them any way we can get them."
For the third straight week, Allen (9-0, 6-0) overcame a late deficit. This time the Eagles erased a 14-point margin with three unanswered touchdowns.
Trailing 21-7, Allen drove 80 yards, scoring on QB Alec Morris' 2-yard run with 1:32 left in the third quarter.
Running back Jonathan Williams added touchdown runs of 4 and 5 yards, the last coming with 1:25 left in the game.
Williams rushed for 89 on 21 carries despite spending much of the first half on the bench because of a foot injury that sidelined him from practices.
Morris threw for 216 yards but had three interceptions. Jamal Adams had two of those. The first he returned for a 92-yard touchdown. The second came on Hebron's 2-yard line.
Allen scored on its first drive on a 64-yard run by Jeff Harris, but Hebron (6-3, 4-2) got even near the end of the first half on Dezmond Wortham's 2-yard run.
The Hawks then appeared to take control as they scored twice on another Wortham TD and Adams' interception.

Gaining su rights in Konqueror and KWrite
Hi all.
I'm using Linux for a few months now, so I'm gaining hang of it, but one thing I wasn't able to do, is tp gain su rights for Konqueror.
As the security handbook says, I restrict of fully loging on as root, and gain the su rights only when needed. My probem is, that when I log on as my non-root user, I can't open some folders and files via my Konqueror file browser and KWrite file editor.
Is there a way to open these files and folders without having to have to log on as root?
Somewhere in the KDE menu, (system I think) you can select
"file manager - super user mode".
When it opens, (you'll be promted for password) select:
Go > Home URL
As for Kwrite, open a term, su, password, then type kwrite.
Or you can select "run command" from the menu, select options,
then "run as a different user", and so on.
Re: gaining SU rights
So that's how it works.
Gee, thanks a lot.

Hey pro athletes, it's usually not a good idea to wear a hat of any other team in your league — especially if it's a long-time division rival.
Chargers rookie wide receiver Keenan Allen made precisely that mistake this weekend when he posted a Vine of himself in a Raiders hat. San Diego fans did not react kindly to Allen's oversight.
LobShots.com collected some of the best responses. Check out a couple good ones below, plus the original offending picture.[tweet https://twitter.com/flashdode/statuses/335912384331927553 align=center] [tweet https://twitter.com/habitualistic/statuses/335885442383765504 align=center]
Allen apologized for the mistake and said it would not happen again. Let this be a lesson for Patriots rookies from the New Jersey area: No Jets or Giants hats.

Herbicide Ballistic Technology is designed to discretely administer encapsulated herbicide to individual weed populations
Lawrence, Kansas (PRWEB) July 18, 2013
The Hawaiian Islands are known for lush plant life and steep terrain, but such extreme topography presents an additional challenge to managing invasive plant species. Ballistic technology, or encapsulated herbicide- projectiles containing less than 200 mg of herbicide and pneumatically launched from a helicopter, could provide solutions for managing invasive plants in Hawaii and other areas with rugged terrain.
An article published in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management reported results of Herbicide Ballistic Technology testing. Experimental tests of this technology were conducted over a 1-year period while flying helicopter surveillance operations over the islands of Maui and Kauai.
Miconia calvescens, a 12–15-meter tall tree native to Central and South America, has become a nemesis in Hawaii, Australia, and other Pacific habitats. Intentionally introduced in new locations for its large, bicolored leaves, it quickly spread. A single plant can produce millions of offspring each reproductive cycle, which form dense monocultures that shade out understory vegetation, promoting soil erosion. Miconia was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in 1961, where it subsequently escaped, and has been subject to management programs for the past 20 years.
Eliminating satellite populations of miconia is essential to effective containment. Herbicide Ballistic Technology is designed to discretely administer encapsulated herbicide to individual weed populations. Unlike conventional aerial spraying, this technology can reach beneath the tree canopy and hit the foliage or stem of the target plant. The herbicide projectiles are accurate within a 30-meter range and their high velocity impact creates an herbicide spatter of about 1 square meter.
Tests of this approach showed positive results for miconia search efficiency, target acquisition rate, and herbicide use when correlated to plant target density. These performance measures were used to create model simulations that can be used to project costs for effective containment of miconia based on application frequency.Information generated from these model simulations can help land managers decide how aggressively containment of miconia can be pursued. As helicopter flight time represents the predominant expense, the authors note that integrating air surveillance operations with Herbicide Ballistic Technology can best streamline efforts to contain miconia.
Full text of the article "Calibration of an Herbicide Ballistic Technology (HBT) Helicopter Platform Targeting Miconia calvescens in Hawaii," Invasive Plant Science and Management, Vol. 6, No. 2, April-June 2013, is now available.

If I use the code:
#define RGB32BIT(a, r, g, b) ((b) + (g << 8) + (r << 16) + (a << 24)
UINT pixel = RGB32BIT(0, 0, 255, 0);
How do I get back the alpha, red, green, and blue values if I just have the pixel?

How do I get back the alpha, red, green, and blue values if I just have the pixel?
Don't quote me on that... ...seriously
alpha = (pixel >> 24) & 0xff;
red = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff;
green = (pixel >> 8) & 0xff;
blue = pixel & 0xff;
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
Congratulations! You have proven yourself to be among the ranks of the programmers that know too much. I knew the answer. I just wanted to see if anyone had a clue about it. I guess you do. I prefer:
TheCode:UCHAR alpha = pixel >> 24; UCHAR red = pixel >> 16; UCHAR green = pixel >> 8; UCHAR blue = pixel;automaticaly drops off the extra so you don't need theCode:UCHAR. I put that up at the game programmers message board and I got all kinds of junk.Code:& 0xFF
Don't quote me on that... ...seriously
How about:
Code:b = pixel & 0x000000ff; g = (pixel >> 8) & 0x000000ff; r = (pixel >> 16) & 0x000000ff; a = pixel >> 24;
But in your original code a, g, b, and r aren't UCHAR's. So now you're changing their original types.Originally Posted by Brad0407
Asked and answered in your previous post (which you claim you answered)
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
You're a genious..Originally Posted by Brad0407
How about something like:
Code:union pixel_data { uint32_t pixel; struct { uint8_t alpha; uint8_t red; uint8_t green; uint8_t blue; } part; };Maybe? Not sure if word-alignment or padding would screw it up.Code:{ union pixel_data pix1; pix1.pixel = 0x12345678; printf("red: %d\n", pix1.part.red); printf("green: %d\n", pix1.part.green); printf("blue: %d\n", pix1.part.blue); }
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
Or an array. Unions are definately fun.Code:enum { cAlpha, cRed, cGreen, cBlue }; union foo { uint32_t pixel; uint8_t part[ sizeof( uint32_t ) ]; }; union foo bar; printf("Alpha: %d\n", bar.part[ cAlpha ] );
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
That depends on the order of the variables in the definition, and correct usage of #pragma pack(...)Originally Posted by itsme86

William E. 'Eddie' LeakeOct 10, 2012 Staff
William E. "Eddie" Leake died in his sleep Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012. He was 66 years old.
Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, at Davis Funeral Home with the Rev. Robin Stupka officiating.
William Edward "Eddie" Leake was born Jan. 20, 1946, to Iver William (Bill) Leake and Marjorie Leake in Riverton.
He graduated from Riverton High School in 1964, and then spent a year at Casper College. He then went to work for White Ditching, working there until they changed to Northern Utilities.
He became self-employed in 1976 and started Ed's Welding Service contracting as the field welder for Amoco in the Lander field and Winkleman Dome until later in 1985 when he became the plant welder for the Beaver Creek Field south of Riverton.
In 1981 he decided to branch out and started Badger Incorporated. On Sept. 11, 2002, he started the annual 9/11 Memorial Parade beginning with the Fremont County Oilfield workers, and then expanding it to include everyone who wanted to participate, which is hoped to continue without him.
He took early retirement from welding in 2008 and spent the last couple of years "playing with his cows and farming" until he sold his herd earlier this year and leased out his farm so he could spend time with his grandchildren and more time in his new camper, "the Taj Mahal," on the mountain.
His family said he loved spending time camping, hunting, fishing and playing with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Jaci Leake; two daughters, Nicki Portschy and her husband Mike and grandson Michael of Riverton, and Robin Schamber and her husband Greg and grandchildren Brookely and Garret of Pinedale; his sisters, Carol Spann of Byron, Kaye and her husband Allan Westlake of Cheyenne, Glenda and Al Coyle of Riverton and Patti and Jack Fazendin of Riverton; aunt Dorothy, Betty Hagins of Billings, Mont., and Donna Furby of Nebraska; uncle Clark Van Vleet of Hudson; and numerous cousins, nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Marjorie and Bill Leake; sister Sharon Roby; and numerous aunts and uncles.
Memorial donations would be appreciated to the Avenue of Flags, Wind River VFW Post 3628, in care of the Davis Funeral Home, 2203 W. Main St., Riverton, WY 82501 or the Wyoming State 4H Foundation Buck Underwood Memorial Scholarship.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Rosane Collor, former wife of Brazil's ex-President Fernando Collor de Melo for 22 years, said the former head of state practiced black magic rituals during his 1990 to 1992 presidency.
"There were rituals in cemeteries, very powerful rituals. And with the animals it was a massacre, with chickens, bulls, cows and animals that were sacrificed," Collor said of her former-husband's habits, according to Agência EFE. "When I met Fernando he already went to these 'environments' and when we were married he also practiced."
More from GlobalPost: Brazil transport: Mind the gap (PHOTOS)
Collor went on to tell journalists from Globo TV's Fantástico, where she gave her interview, that the black magic rituals were commanded by a witch named Maria Cecília, who is now an evangelical pastor, like Collor herself. Maria Cecília appeared in photos alongside Melo, now a senator whose alliances lie with current President Dilma Rousseff, after being impeached for corruption in 1992.
But black magic isn't the only sordid activity Collor accused Melo of participating in, reported Band. She also said the former president lied about his ties to Paulo Cesar Farias, also known as PC Farias, who at one time ran a corruption scheme within the government and who died under strange circumstances in 1993. And all of the details outing Melo's questionable behavior will be revealed in Collor's book, which she is writing with journalist Fábio Fabretti.
"I consider myself a live archive," Collor said, according to Band. "I say in all interviews, and I've even said in court, that if something happens in my life, the majority of the responsibility will lie with Fernando Collor de Melo."

Updated 11:58 PM ET
MOBILE, Ala. A cruise ship disabled for five nightmarish days in the Gulf limped under tow into port with more than 4,000 people aboard late Thursday, passengers raucously cheering the end to an ocean odyssey they say was marked by overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
"Sweet Home Alabama!" read one of the homemade signs passengers affixed alongside the 14-story ship as many raucously cheered at deck rails lining several levels of the stricken ship Triumph. The ship's horn loudly blasted several times on its final docking approach as some gave a thumbs-up sign and flashes from cameras and cellphones lit the night.
The first of some 3,000 passengers were starting to come off the ship. At about 10:15 p.m. Central time some aboard the Triumph were walking down an enclosed gangway to a terminal at Mobile, Ala.
As people started disembarking, others on board waiting were chanting, "Let me off, let me off!"
A few dozen relatives on the top floor of the parking deck of the terminal were waving lights at the ship as it was carefully making its way alongside. Those about were screaming, whistling and taking pictures.
Hundreds gawked from dockside at the arrival at the Alabama cruise terminal in Mobile, the state's only seaport, as the Triumph inched into port about 9:15 p.m. Central time. It took six grueling hours navigating the 30-odd-mile ship channel to dock, guided by at least four towboats. Nearly 900 feet in length, it was the largest cruise ship ever to dock at Mobile.
And even once it is stable, it will take four to five hours for all the 3,000 passengers to be off, said Carnival senior vice president of marketing Terry Thornton.
Passengers on board in texts and flitting cellphone calls described miserable conditions while at sea, many anxious to walk on solid ground. But for now, they waved towels at the throng at dockside and even motorists who stopped on the shoulder of major Interstate 10 near the port to watch the ship come in.
Carnival have the option of a seven-hour bus ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Some also can stay in Mobile.
"I can't imagine being on that ship this morning and then getting on a bus," said Kirk Hill, whose 30-year-old daughter, Kalin Christine Hill, is on the cruise. "If I hit land in Mobile, you'd have a hard time getting me on a bus."
Buses are standing by to take them to their next stop and Galveston is the home port of the ill-fated ship, which lost power in an engine-room fire Sunday some 150 miles of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
It was the end of a cruise that wasn't at all what it should look like in a brochure.
Thornton said the ship had been fully cleared by customs and Border Patrol, and that should speed up the process.
Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill apologized at a news conference.
"I appreciate the patience of our guests and their ability to cope with the situation. And I'd like to reiterate the apology I made earlier. I know the conditions on board were every poor," he said. "We pride ourselves on providing our guests with a great vacation experience, and clearly we failed in this particular case."
On Thursday night, dozens of chartered buses with markings from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas had gathered in Mobile. Carnival said 100 buses had been reserved and that it will cover transportation costs.
While the passengers are headed home, Triumph will be headed to a Mobile shipyard for assessment, Thornton said.
Earlier Thursday four days after the 893-foot ship was crippled by an engine-room fire in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico the more than 4,200 passengers and crew members suffered another setback with towline issues that brought the vessel to a dead stop for about an hour just when it was getting close to port.
Since a fire in the engine room left the ship powerless Sunday, the ship abandoned its plans to travel to the Progreso, Mexico, and has been drifting to Mobile, Ala.
Conditions on the cruise ship had continued to be dismal. Emailed photos (gallery at left) reveal squalid conditions. CBS correspondent Anna Werner reports many passengers used red plastic bags as toilets and that hundreds slept in hallways or topside to escape the foul and stagnate air below the deck. One passenger told CBS News at one point the ship leaned on one side so much, people feared it would tip over and sink.
From a helicopter, Werner said she could see people waving and some had signs that appear to be made out of bedsheets. One said "SOS" -- save our ship.

- Inside Carnival cruise nightmare: Passenger describes deteriorating conditions
Robert Giordano, who said his wife Shannon is on the ship, said he was frustrated with the lack of information he has been able to get from Carnival, a complaint shared by Vivian Tilley, of San Diego, whose sister is also on the vessel.
Carnival, she said, has not told families what hotel passengers will be put in or provided precise information about when they will arrive in Mobile, Ala. And that came after the cruise line switched the ship's towing destination from Progreso to Mobile.
No one was injured in the fire aboard, but a passenger with a pre-existing medical condition was taken off the ship as a precaution. In addition, the Coast Guard said in a statement Thursday that it evacuated a passenger who reportedly suffered a stroke.
Carnival said the original plan was to tow the ship to Progreso, Mexico, because it was the closest port, but by the time tugboats arrived, the ship had drifted about 90 miles north due to strong currents, putting it nearly equidistant to Mobile. It was also logistically easier for the company, which said costs were not a factor.
Carnival Cruise Lines has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before the engine-room blaze. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation.
Gulliksen said the Triumph's recent mechanical woes involved an electrical problem with the ship's alternator on the previous voyage. Repairs were completed Feb. 2, and the problem was not related to the fire, he said.
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival announced Wednesday they would each get an additional $500 in compensation.

CHARLEROI – A man from the state of California was arrested Friday on charges he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Charleroi last month after giving her liquor to drink.
Charleroi Regional police filed a string of charges against Ricky Gutierrez, 21, of Sacramento, accusing him of inappropriately touching the girl in a bedroom of a residence in the 200 block of Ninth Street about 9:30 p.m. April 11, court records state.
An officer was called to the residence at that time to take a report on a complaint two 14-year-old girls were drunk and that one of them had possibly been sexually assaulted, the criminal affidavit indicates.
The victim's parents were there and explained to police they found their daughter drunk in a bed and unable to walk. The father noticed her pants were unbuttoned and she wasn't wearing underwear while he carried her down the stairs, police said.
The girl started to wake up in the back seat of her mother's car and said "Ricky" touched her, the record states.
She was then taken to Mon Valley Hospital for a rape exam, the results of which were not revealed Friday in court records.
The following day the girl and her mother went to the police station to give statements about the incident. The girl said she was walking around town with her friend when they met Ricky and went to a park.
The suspect left to purchase liquor, returned and gave the girl a drink, which she said tasted similar to a sports drink. She allegedly received a second drink from him at the residence, a cocktail the girl said "tasted weird," police said in the affidavit.
The girl began to feel ill and decided to rest on a bed, where she claimed the sexual assault took place, police said. She also told police she put her pants back on after the suspect left the room and didn't remember anything else that night until she was in her mother's car.
Gutierrez was arrested Friday on a warrant charging him with sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault on someone substantially impaired, indecent assault on a minor, indecent assault of a person under age 16, corruption of minors and unlawful conduct with a minor.
He is in Washington County jail on $500,000 bond set by District Judge Larry Hopkins and faces a preliminary hearing before Hopkins at 10:30 a.m. May 14.

According to Qwilton Biel, chairman of the helicopter division of the New Zealand Aviation Industry Association, "If you walk into our industry forum and talk about fractionals, the attendees will think you're talking about math. It's just not a concept that's caught on in New Zealand. You can drive the whole country north to south in one day."
The market for business jets and turbine helicopters is nearly all leisure, and foreign passengers create about 95 percent of the demand. Just eight business jets operate in country, three of which fly with a New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) tail number.
Auckland-based Air National, New Zealand's largest charter operator, fields a fleet that includes a Jetstream 32 and Westwind II. Iain Ballantyne, the company's business development manager, said, "We know the expense of taking your own Gulfstream from the U.S., so our message is this: fly Air New Zealand from New York then run around New Zealand and the South Pacific on our Gulfstream or Westwind. I'm doing Air New Zealand a favor by advocating this approach, but we have no program with them."
According to Ballantyne, Americans who come to the land of the Kiwi often come for the high-end golf courses. One dream destination for duffers is the lush course at Kauri Cliffs, Bay of Islands, which has been rated alongside one of the world's top five course designs but at a fraction of the price.
Frank Porter, a partner in law firm Buddle Findlay, advises carrier Air New Zealand on aircraft documentation, registry and finance and has tried without success to foster a domestic business jet trade, including for fractional shares.
"Corporate aviation is…sparse," said Porter. "And it's unlikely to grow. Corporate offices tend to base in Sydney or in other big Australian cities, and these foreign offices will have the aircraft. Some operators may be avoiding bringing an aircraft onto the CAA registry to bypass being the first in the country. If a type is not already on the registry, there is more work in certification and requirements."
Aside from a handful of one-man, entrepreneurial enterprises, "We just don't have the wealth here to support private ownership of business jets," said Porter. "And we don't have the security concerns the U.S. has. You can walk down to the café and see the Prime Minister having lunch." There are no direct tax incentives to purchase a corporate aircraft, or the shareholder understanding of value.
"New Zealand is in its peak of economic conditions," he said. "So if corporate aviation were going to take off, it would have done so in the last couple of years."
Expanding the Bizjet Fleet
Most of Air National's customers use the company's services for an unusual outing, such as a visit to the Cape Kidnappers Golf and Wine Experience, or a sip
of the Marlborough Wine Trails via the British Aerospace Jetstream 32EP out of Auckland. Ballantyne and staff arrange onboard catering, coach transfer, green fees and cart hire and lunch with wines such as the famous local Sauvignon Blanc.
"Two years ago there were no business jets here," said Ballantyne. "We used to charter from Sydney, Australia, and that's six hours in positioning costs alone."
"We originally brought in an Australian crew with corporate jet experience, since there's no heritage as such in New Zealand. We did 50 hours of charter in the Gulfstream IV-SP in the first year, then 200 in the second year." Air National charges $5,750 per hour wet.
"Of maybe 20 pilots with Boeing 737 experience who qualify for a job opening, we look for the one who can mesh with clients and manage the limos and talk with ground staff," said Ballantyne.
"You talk about a learning curve for pilots and crew to go from airlines to a corporate charter environment, but for [sales colleague] Jason Gray and me, the learning curve was from a $5,000 charter to charters now of $450,000 or more, running several weeks for a music group or a product launch. For example, we fly the trans-Tasman routes (the Tasman Sea) and around Australia then to Tahiti and the South Pacific islands."
Air National flies a Bombardier Dash 8-100 for up to 40 clients; an Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante with seating for 15; a 12-seat GIV-SP; a Westwind II; a two-pilot Piper PA-31 Chieftain for eight; a Cessna 421 Golden Eagle; and a six-seat AS 350 Ecureuil. A Citation CJ3 is on order. Some packages combine the larger charter aircraft with a yacht for up to 60 guests.
The company just acquired a Piper Aztec and is flying bankers and advisors to Kinloch in the North Island lake district of Taupo, on behalf of golfer Jack Nicklaus, who is developing a custom course reflecting the Scottish highlands.
Many clients are from the fields of sports and entertainment, such as film crews from The Lord of the Rings; musical crews for Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, the Dave Matthews Band and Joe Cocker; and rugby teams or clubs serving their wealthy fans. SkyCare served John Travolta and his own Clipperfish, providing champagne and cigars along with his fueling en route to a premiere in Australia.
Air National generally fills five seats for a typical entertainer and staff. However, the company usually fills more seats when flying a Russian client. When the Russians charter the GIV-SP for golf packages, Air National typically fills 10 seats with passengers and their equipment.
Domestic clients seem to have little interest in the improved security business aviation provides, but U.S. clients sometimes ask Air National for credentials and pilot biographies. New Zealand is most stringent about non-human hazards, requiring all commercial passengers to submit bags for screening against food, flora and pests, which could imperil the native balance.
Air National has chartered the Gulfstream to New Zealanders only once, but the smaller aircraft have proven effective for providing domestic corporate shuttle service.
"Our shuttle contract was for an expansion program called the Fletcher Challenge– they're in the forestry business–flying between Auckland and Rotorua," which is 100 nm but a 3.5-hour drive. Air National flew its Bandeirante and Chieftain. The shuttle program accepted some 50 passengers as pre-authorized to build an ad hoc manifest.
Ballantyne sees potential for a jet card in the country but not for a fractional ownership program.
"It's virgin territory for business jets. For now, it just doesn't enter a New Zealander's head to use a business jet to get around. We have lots of education ahead."
Industry Regulation
New Zealand's CAA monitors and regulates the industry and advises the Minister of Transport, via a five-member authority appointed by the governor-general.
The nation has been deregulating the aviation industry since 1983. Within a few years domestic airlines could be wholly owned by foreign investors; by 1990 air services did not require licensing. Today's only market requirement is safety certification.
Service between New Zealand and Australia, called the Tasman Sea route, is the busiest in terms of the number of carriers and passenger volume, supporting 10 passenger airlines and four dedicated cargo services.
The CAA Airline Group monitors such operation while the General Aviation Group–which has both a fixed-wing and rotary unit–addresses operations and monitors a rules structure similar to the FARs, at least numerically. Field safety advisors provide general advice and communication with the Part 91 and 135 communities.
Airspace Navigation
ATC in the nation resembles Europe's model, relying on the Airways Corporation to service pilots under certification from the CAA. Airways Corp. is state-owned and controllers are trained in Christchurch to provide navigation services for both domestic and oceanic airspace.
In 2003 New Zealand revised its aeronautical charts with an eye to simplicity. Airspace is delineated both graphically and via numeric coordinates published in the Air Navigation Register to yield a legal description of boundaries and designated points. Pilots can subscribe to an e-mail service for notification if descriptions change. Transient pilots might find that they need to adjust their FMS displays for the magnetic environment of the Southern Hemisphere.
Volcano Flight-seeing
New Zealand is a volatile geothermic zone, with the region of Rotorua in the center of the North Island drawing tourists to view hundreds of acres of hissing vents for superheated steam, which are kept open. As such, volcanic hazard areas (VHA) are a hot feature.
In 1996 Mount Ruapehu erupted, its ash cloud closing great swaths of airspace. Under section 13 of the Civil Aviation Act, a VHA is open only in daylight unless an operator is in emergency flight or an air ambulance, which brings special reporting requirements before entry. Ash clouds are covered by a sigmet, with a VHA of level five meaning a radius of 50 nm.
Helipro Helicopter Adventures is the largest of dozens of turbine operators that fan the volcanic fumes with flight-seeing, with principal operations at Rotorua in North Island, and Wellington at the Queens Wharf. The Helipro fleet consists of Bell Jet-Ranger IIs and Eurocopters.
"Flight times and routes may vary due to volcanic activity," noted chief pilot Tim Bornon.
Rotorcraft traffic is congested from September through March, summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Conditions vary from visual flight over sulfur-belching thermal areas, to touchdowns on glaciers, to whale-spotting, to bottlenecked and high-altitude operation into Queenstown 600 nm south of Auckland, which is often compared to the Vail airport for its weather and topographical hazards.

We are now just a little less than four weeks removed from the end of the high school basketball season -- and there are some exciting seeding battles heating up on the area hardwood.
The next few days will o much to decide which programs will head into their region tournaments with top seeds and, ostensibly, the easier roads to the state playoffs that come with those seeds.
Tonight's slate of contests features a number of key showdowns in northeast Georgia regions, and with that in mind let's take a look, region-by-region at how things are shaping for the 2014 postseason.
On the boys side, everyone is chasing Clarke Central, which is perfect in 8-AAAAA. Yet Gainesville may be starting to find some rhythm under new head coach Benjie Wood, as the Red Elephants have moved into fifth place and are battling Cedar Shoals for fourth seed. Gainesville is a game-and-a-half behind the Jaguars. Flowery Branch, meanwhile, is still looking to find its pace under new head coach David Sokol and move up from eighth place.
The girls side of 8-AAAAA also has a clear front-runner, with Salem also sporting a perfect league mark. Gainesville is two games back in second place, while Loganville and Clarke Central are currently tied for third. Flowery Branch, meanwhile, is very much in the mix, just a game behind Clarke Central and Loganville, with a head-to-head victory over Loganville.
None of the teams in 8-AAAA have played many region games, but even with a small sample size, defending boys champion Johnson is clearly at the top at this point. The Knights are 2-0 in region play but 13-3 overall. Yet Eastside proved a tough foe last season and could be a thorn again this year, sporting a 14-2 record, 2-0 in 8-AAAA. Madison County is also 2-0 in 8-AAAA, though the Red Devils are 5-12 overall and its two wins have come against teams with losing records. Lumpkin County is 1-2 with the two defeats coming to Johnson and Eastside, while Chestatee is looking to bounce back from an 0-3 start to 8-AAAA play.
Chestatee's girls meanwhile, have had no issue in 8-AAAA, starting 3-0 while sprinting into the lead. Lanier and Stephens County are also in the mix but have only played one league game, going 1-0. Meanwhile, Lumpkin County is using 8-AAAA play as a platform for a rebound, going 2-1 in 8-AAAA. The Lady Indians have won just one game outside 8-AAAA.
Both defending region champions have started to put strangleholds on this league. The Buford boys and girls are both 7-0, and it will take some upsets to knock the Wolves from their perch.
On the boys side, the Dawson County, East Hall and White County are all chasing Buford with two region defeats apiece. The Tigers, Vikings and Warriors have each defeated each other with one loss apiece to Buford.
On the girls side, North Hall and White County are tied for second place with two 7-AAA defeats each. The Lady Warriors do have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lady Trojans. Dawson County is also close behind at 4-3 in 7-AAA, including a win over White County. Banks County is also 3-3.
East Jackson's and Jackson County's boys are each playing catch-up, trailing first place Elbert County and Morgan County. Hart County is second, with Franklin County third.
The Lady Eagles and Panthers are also trailing, with Morgan County's girls sitting in first and Franklin County second.
The Jefferson boys are rolling so far, ranked sixth in Class AA and undefeated in 8-AA. The Dragons are looking to pull away with the No. 1 seed, but Union County and Rabun County are not far behind.
The girls side of 8-AA should also feature some big games down the stretch. Rabun County is currently undefeated in region play, though Union County is also perfect at 1-0 and Jefferson is not far behind at 3-1.
The Lakeview Academy boys are holding on to a one-game lead in subregion A at 5-2. Pinecrest Academy -- which knocked off the Lions head-to-head -- are one game behind. The other side of the region bears a familiar name, as state semifinalist from a year ago, Athens Christian is currently 9-0.
Meanwhile, the Lady Lions are also leading the way in subregion A, holding a half-game lead over Class A power Towns County (4-1). The two foes have not played each other yet.
George Walton is undefeated in 8B-A, including a win over Lakeview.

PH4094/55298G Ophthalmic Glasses
PH4094 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The PH4094 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Polo collections 2016 and 2017.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The butterfly look is characterized by the thick full frame. The classic shape has an enduring popularity and is always en vogue. Stars like Marilyn Monroe made the look famous. This eye-catching shape is particularly suitable for faces with broad cheeks. The butterfly shape attracts everyone's attention. Due to its extravagance, it is absolutely perfect for confident personalities. The look is particularly suitable for somewhat shorter faces because the special shape makes the faces appear elongated and, thus, more slender. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The PH4094 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. The fact that the colour grey matches everything, also applies to sunglass lenses. They suit everything in your wardrobe and never go out of fashion. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
The glasses are in stock. If you order now, we can send out your glasses immediately. And we have kept the best for last: ordering immediately is worthwhile, because this top model is now in the sale! But only while stock lasts.

Sound lost...
Hi people!
I have some serious problem with Ardour.
I was importing a track from a CD when a tip window popped up saying litterally:
"The disk system on your computer was not able to keep up with Ardour.
Specifically, it failed to read data quickly enough to keep up with playback."
Fine. But now I can't hear no sound any more. When I start playback, playhead go ahead and meters are active but no sound arises.
There is also no problem if I try to export it as a .wav or .aiff file. And when I open an old file, no problem at all. I have only trouble with the file I was working on.
It is a big problem for me since I spent a lot of time on this work.
Thank you for your help.
not sure, but most probably your tracks got dissconected from the master, and the master went disconnected from the alsa playback. happened to me from time to time too.
try reconnecting manually from within ardour, if it does not work you ll have to use qjackctl.
Ok. Everything was disconnected. It works very well now.
Thank you for your help !

Discussion in 'Dice Influencing' started by Cherokdice, Feb 15, 2013.
Which is the best ? Does it matter ? Thanks in Advance ! CherokeeDice
The best grip is the one which works for YOU.
The best set is the one which works for YOU and your grip.
Not everyone's hands are the same, not everyone's muscle control is the same, not everyone's arm movements are the same.
Through hours and hours(hundreds) of throwing practice, using Bone Tracker, you will find the one that is best for YOU.
The idea behind your grip and throw is to not necessarily hit your numbers on axis, but to simply avoid the 7. During your practices and casino time, you will find your signature numbers, and will, therfore know how to bet on yourself during your throw(toss). If your signature numbers are 5/8/9, based on your grip and consistent throw, then you only bet on those numbers. If a 4 and 10 hit during your throw, well, a tree fell in the forest and no one heard it. Stick with your signature numbers and stay with that for your throw.
For every other thrower, bet the Don'ts !!!
I have been working hard on getting the dice to stick together , but I am really struggling in that department thought that a dice gripper might straighten that out for me . They either tilt or one lags behnd. Thanks for your repsonse makes a lot of sense.
CherokeeDice -
I believe that the Dice Coach - Beau Parker - hawks a " dice gripper " @ http://www.dicecoach.com -
Basically all dice are +/- 3/4" square -
If you use a 3 Finger Front grip -
THEY say to have your 3 fingers even across the dice approx. 1/4" down from the top edge -
THAT would equate to your fingers being 1/2" even above the table top -
Why not save yourself a few $ and place a piece of 1/2 " thick material directly in front of ( the away from you side ) of the dice -
That would get your fingers aligned evenly across the dice at the recommended depth -
Your thumb placement is usually below your fingers -
From 1/2 way down the back of the dice to all the way down -
Depending how much backspin you are looking to impart on the dice -
The lower your thumb - the more backspin applied to the dice -
Personally, I shoot from the Straight Out position -
My middle finger is approx. 1/4 " below the edges of the dice - and my thumb approx. centered vertically and horizontally on the back of the dice -
My pointer and ring fingers, however, are on the top diagonal edges of the dice -
They are there for the sole purpose of adding " stability " to the toss -
What you will find if you encounter a one die leading / one die lagging scenario is one of your fingers ( pointer or ring ) -
Is not on the same level as the 2 others -
This a very common problem with the 3FF grip -
I avoided that problem by placing those 2 problem fingers on the edge / diagonals of the dice !
Hope this answers your question and solves your problem !
On another note - the dice MUST be level / parallel to the table top during the entire course of your throw -
I throw from the table top with the dice against the bottom of the back rubber -
This ensures that the dice are square to the back wall and the table !
P.S. You do NOT need a dice gripper - it is a crutch that can NOT be used in a casino and you will become accustomed to using it - and then lost without it !
Hi $nakeEye$,
Just wanted to say that I like the gripping advice you gave on this forum. I took notes. Sometimes reading a member's insight and details can shed new light on a problem area. I want to get more experience/practice at the tables shooting from the straight out position. I've become too comfortable shooting from SR1 and rarely from SL1. I have to wait too long sometimes for my favorite spot at the table, so I need to work on shooting from different positions.
Appreciate your input as well as other members,
Lifeisacrapshoot (Pam)
Lifeisacrapshoot -
The reasons that you state were my incentive to seek alternate shooting positions -
Most people tend to migrate to the near stick positions -
Regardless of their capabilities -
At present my play is relegated to the 12' tables -
However, as such , I am restricting MY shooting opportunities by 50% in the AC area -
The more positions that you are comfortable shooting from opens up that many more doors for you -
Woe be to those who are relegated to only 1 or 2 positions !
Although I do not like to - I can shoot from any position -
Matter of fact - I originally sought SL 2-3 spots -
But now do SO North to block for Linda !
In regards to the which grips is best.
First some grips might be impossible for you due to hand size big or small.
Try all of them unit you can find one that keeps the dice as close as possible in flight. It all starts right there.
A tip I learned from golf - make sure your practice grip pressure is the same as the one you use in the casinos. Its amazing how small of increase in pressure can send the dice out in two directions.
I have used a 5 finger grip - super light pressure - two fingers on the front leading edge (not face) - the other two fingers /one finger on each side - and thumb on 1/4 way down on the back. Once in a great - great while my dice will come short/early because my pressure was too light.
Good Luck!
Just remember the three "C's" of a good grip:
1. Comfort
2. Control
3. Consistency
A dice gripper is the best thing you can do for your throw. I got
mine when I got lessons from koganinja777. If you give it the time
it deserves it will payoff in spades. I know a few camps sell them but
I have to say kogas is bar none! It is a total work of art and it really
does work. I know his is alot more expensive than the others but it is
worth it. I know it has been said they are a crutch, my response is that
is so far from the truth. The gripper is made to help you build in muscle
memory in your fingers so your fingers know what to do when you play
in a casino. A gripper of any kind will work but I'm telling you kogas
is really good, he has hit a home run with its design.
Picture of a dice gripper
I toss using a seemingly unorthodox stacked grip. Launching the dice while they lightly come off my thumb. I get adequate results.
I compare DI to sports like golf, bowling, & basketball. NBA players cant hit all their free-throws, bowlers dont always throw strikes, and Golfers don't always hit it straight down the fairway.
Practice. It's the best thing to do to increase your percentages.
Those gripp blocks seem cool, I definitely would like to try one out. If I only knew a kid in a wood-shop class to give the specs to.
Hi $nakeEye$,
I've been shooting from 2 other positions during the past couple of months. I have really become comfortable shooting from straight out at either end of the table. My favorite used to be SR1, but I love the challenge of shooting SO. I just returned home from the casino a couple hours ago. I had a couple of decent rolls. I shot from SO and rolled 16 times before I 7'd out. A buddy of mine kept track.

DarkSiderRidah -
Rocket Scientry this is NOT -
The dice are 3/4" x 3/4" -
Ideally you would endeavour to grip the dice a 1/4" down from the top -
3/4" - 1/4" = 1/2" -
Therefore, in a block of wood at least 1" thick -
You would want to rout a slot 3/4" wide X 1/2" deep -
You can make the block long and cut it into approx. 3- 4 " lengths -
Thereby making quite a few grippers at one time -
And either go into business selling them or go into " give it away " -
The bill is in the mail -
Now I have to wheel-out my table saw sometime this week, and start cutting.
A nice OAK Gripper would be nice, no?
With a little mirror in an angled slot, running the length of it. :coolsmile:
NO need to dust off YOUR table saw -
MINE is always UP -
I can do THAT if YOU seriously are looking for those -
AND I also happen to have an abundance of 4/4 White Oak in house !
AND we also do glass !
Thanks $nake!
I guess you could say we're all just trying to "get a grip!". :lol:
My grip is thumb on outside. Pointer finger in front seam. Bird finger on outside. Using a soft grip. Seems like less friction on release. Dice remain together mostly. I have tried the 3 fingers in front thumb in back. But I have way too much separation. Fav. Spot is SR1-2 SL1-2.. What disadvantages with my grip?
Centerfield -
YOU are using the ' Icetong ' Grip -
With an adaption to ensure that your dice are ' squared up ' -
I take it 1 step further by placing my ' ring ' finger behind - at the rear seam -
THIS ensures ALL is squared up -
IF you start your toss flat and square at the table felt -
RELEASE your pointer and ring fingers WELL before release -
THEY are only there to insure ' squareness ' -
Your " touch / feel" is now with your thumb and middle finger -
You can vary the ' revs ' by where you grip with your fingers on the sides of the dice -
AND if you vary your wrist angle upon picking up the dice -
Linda is being weaned of the UH toss to this ' Ice Tong ' toss by me -
From close in - even SO - this grip can be quite effective -
BUT YOU need to experiment with it and practice it !

DO something often enough and it risks becoming a habit.
Witton's slow starts have left them playing catch-up in each of their past three league matches although on this occasion, unlike the others, they could not rescue a point.
Nor did they look likely to.
The result means Albion are now in the longest sequence without a win since their return to the Premier Division, although three of those four games have ended in parity.
In each exists a common flaw; sluggish from the whistle, Witton are ceding the initiative to their opponents too often.
Marine made the most of it, scoring in the ninth minute and fluffing a chance to settle the outcome soon afterwards.
After successive home defeats, it was just the tonic.
Witton, in mitigation, were forced to switch goalkeepers in the minutes before kick off after regular custodian Matt Cooper failed a fitness test.
His stand-in, Stuart Plant, has never played at this level.
With recent new recruit Danny Meadowcroft also making his debut in defence, the visitors veered towards caution.
They trailed when Jon Goulding ghosted into the penalty area to thump an emphatic header, unmarked, past Plant after Will Jones crossed from the left.
When Jones scuffed a feeble attempt too close to Plant, after Paul Lundon had drifted too easily past two tackles, Witton's wobbles were a worry.
They flickered when Steve Foster steered in a loose ball after Oliver James' shot was deflected in his direction, but it was disallowed for offside.
Josh Hancock at least made Marine goalkeeper Ryan McMahon make a save on 38 minutes, tipping over a direct free kick.
The duo played repeated the trick within 60 seconds, this time the hosts' number one stretching further to save.
Witton started the second half with purpose too, Hancock slicing wide when well-placed before John Shaw blocked Foster's goal-bound attempt.
Manager Brian Pritchard sent on ex-Mariner Shaun Tuck, who put a pep previously missing into his side's play.
Goulding's tackle diverted the Albion top scorer's first shot, then referee Richard Bartlett rejected the forward's penalty appeal after Matthew Brown grabbed his arm in the box.
Marine reminded their guests of their attacking threat when Nick Rogan sent Jones clear, Plant positioning himself perfectly to smother.
He was helpless a minute later, Rogan converting coolly from the spot after Albion skipper Anthony Sheehan's rash lunge had sent sprawling substitute Michael Ordish.
Ben Harrison picked Rogan's pocket as he shaped to shoot, while at the other end Foster's shot lacked direction after substitute Mike Moseley headed on.
Jones added gloss when his headed rebound, after Plant had dived at full stretch to parry replacement Liam Rice's drive, sneaked in off an upright despite the keeper's best effort.
Marine, so meek in defeat at Wincham Park in October, had shown why they have been in the table's top five from the season's first week.
They ended at the same time a wait to beat Witton on their own pitch that started in 1996.
Witton Star Man: Ben Harrison. And by a distance, too. The Witton central defender's timing, both in the air and in the tackle, was flawless. And in testing circumstances, for a goalkeeper behind him and a stopper alongside were making their debut in Albion's defence.
