Amar'e will help, but do Knicks have another big move in store?
Story Highlights
Amar'e is joining the Knicks; what this means for LeBron is an open question
Stoudemire alone isn't enough for the Knicks, who need more of a splash
Stoudemire's past issues in Phoenix with coach Mike D'Antoni are overblown
Amar'e Stoudemire agreed to sign with the Knicks on Monday, SI.com has learned, a move that still leaves unanswered the big question of this wild free-agent summer.
Which is: What is LeBron James going to do?
The fact that the talented Stoudemire will be coming to New York to reunite with coach Mike D'Antoni -- he can sign the new contract, believed to be for five years and close to $100 million, as soon as Thursday -- says one of three things:
James has told the Knicks that he will not accept their offer, sending the message, in effect, to go out and get who you want.
James has told the Knicks that he is interested in Gotham and likes the idea of teaming up with Stoudemire.
James has not told the Knicks anything, but they decided to go ahead with Stoudemire anyway.
As first reported by SI.com's Ian Thomsen, James is not expected to announce his decision until mid-week. But virtually every free-agent offer that has been extended, or not extended, has been done so in the context of James. The Knicks would not have invited Stoudemire to the party without consulting with the No. 1 party guest.
Neither Team James nor the Knicks would comment on what ramifications the Stoudemire deal may have on James' status vis-à-vis the Knicks.
The offer to the 6-foot-11 Stoudemire had been in the wind for a few days -- mostly because Amar'e put it there -- and most of the pre-signing speculation centered on whether the 27-year-old center/forward can get along with D'Antoni, with whom he had a sometimes rocky relationship when they were together in Phoenix.
Yes, they can.
But that isn't the right basketball question. Which is: Can Stoudemire flourish without a front-line point guard?
It would diminish Stoudemire's talents to suggest that his glittering numbers over eight years with the Suns -- 21.4 points per game with a 54.4 field-goal percentage -- were all the result of his being on the floor with a premier point guard named Steve Nash (who joined Phoenix before Amare's third season). Stoudemire can run the floor and finish with any big man in the league. He is an astonishing dunker who can flush from anywhere near the basket with either hand. He has worked hard to develop a fine outside touch, particularly from the elbow area.
But it's a fact that he is most deadly when storming down the lane after getting the ball on a high pick-and-roll, a stratagem used by Stoudemire and Nash to develop into a sexier version of Karl Malone and John Stockton. Last season's Knicks points guards -- Chris Duhon, Sergio Rodriguez and combo guard Toney Douglas -- resemble Steve Nash only to the degree that they all breathe oxygen and walk erect. (Only Douglas, a rookie last season, is under contract for 2010-11; Duhon is a free agent and Rodriguez has signed with Spain's Real Madrid.)
There are other questions, too:
Did the Knicks risk too much by guaranteeing all of Stoudemire's money? He had microfracture surgery on his left knee in November 2005, as well as surgery for a detached retina during the latter stages of the 2008-09 season. Stoudemire probably would've re-signed with the Suns had team officials guaranteed the final two years of a five-year deal. But, fearing a breakdown, they based payment on his playing a certain number of minutes. That's when Stoudemire decided to look elsewhere.
Also, if the Knicks come away with only Stoudemire -- meaning that team execs watch from New York Harbor as James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer and Joe Johnson (the last already locked up by his old team, the Hawks) sail away to other destinations -- will the business plan that president Donnie Walsh and D'Antoni brought with them two years ago be considered a failure? That plan was: Lose for two years, win later with prizes picked up in the celebrated free-agent class of 2010. Though trades could still be made, that one seems answerable right now. Yes.
Still, all is not dark in Madison Square Garden. Adding Stoudemire, who averaged 23.1 points and 8.9 rebounds last season and whose play in the final half of the season prompted Suns coach Alvin Gentry to call him "the best player in the league after the All-Star break," has to be considered a roster upgrade. If the Knicks manage to re-sign 6-9 David Lee, they would have (with 6-10 forward Danilo Gallinari) three mobile big men, the kind that the offensive-minded D'Antoni can move around and give defenses a lot of trouble.
As for the past trouble between D'Antoni and Stoudemire, it is mostly that -- past. Stoudemire was on D'Antoni's (and presumably Walsh's list) early, and the coach is said to have preferred Stoudemire's athleticism and offensive explosiveness to the more consistent Boozer and even to the more variegated floor game of Bosh.
But what did happen between D'Antoni and Stoudemire? Not as much as you might think. The 2005-06 season was a strange one in Phoenix. I know because I was there for most of it working on a book about the Suns called Seven Seconds or Less.
Stoudemire's knee injury was discovered in training camp, right after he had signed a big contract. He was just 22 years old, going on 18. He was depressed about his rehab and didn't do it as assiduously as he could have. He missed some team meetings and other engagements. He felt alienated from his teammates, who weren't sure whether he was coming back. In a meeting in March 2006 that included then team president Jerry Colangelo and D'Antoni, Stoudemire was told in no uncertain terms to get refocused on rehab and get back in line. Stoudemire said he would. He is not an in-your-face type. Whether he respects authority is one thing, but he generally does not challenge it.
When he did come back in late March, he wasn't ready. That speaks to the uncertainty of microfracture surgery because the Suns' medical staff and training team are respected around the league. He played three games, each one progressively worse than the one before, and the Suns finally shut him down for the season. Stoudemire's return, even at, say, 90 percent, had been perceived as the one ingredient that could've gotten them a championship. (They eventually lost to the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals.) It was enough to try the inner resolve of any team.
But through it all, D'Antoni genuinely liked Stoudemire and appreciated his boyish enthusiasm and self-confidence, both of which, not incidentally, have been on display in recent days. Two days before Stoudemire was even officially extended the contract offer, he was acting like the Prince of the City, pronouncing his intention to lure San Antonio point guard Tony Parker and Denver forward Carmelo Anthony, free-agents-to-be in 2011, to play with him in New York.
But the Knicks also believe that Stoudemire, who nicknamed himself STAT not because of statistics but as an acronym for "Stand Tall and Talented," has matured and become a more responsible teammate, an opinion backed up by the man who coached him last season.
"Amar'e was incredibly focused, committed and determined last season," Gentry said, "and everyone here was sad to see him go."
Still, Stoudemire needs to be chirped at -- relentlessly -- on defense. Without a daily reminder of his defensive responsibilities, he tends to lose focus. Will D'Antoni demand that Stoudemire give his undivided defensive attention and delegate one of his assistants, either Herb Williams or brother Dan D'Antoni, to stay on Stoudemire? Will Stoudemire listen the way he did during his final year in Phoenix?
But the question to be answered before that is still the big one: Will James be the one working the high pick-and-roll with Stoudemire? If the Knicks bag LeBron, D'Antoni's quarterbacking dilemma is over. He hands the rock to James and says, "Go be Magic Johnson." But if LeBron goes elsewhere, Stoudemire better leave his GM hat on, for the Knicks will still need someone to make him as Tall and Talented as he could be.

I am going back to work full time on Monday. I will be working 45-50 hours a week with little time to pump. My baby will be almost 7 weeks old. He has been on bottle and breast for about three weeks now. He took to the bottle with no problems at all. I have and electric pump and manual and cannot seem to get it to work. My question is should I switch him to bottle completely?? I have thought alot about it and would like some advice on it. I am going to speak to a lactation specialist as well to see why the pump is not working for me. But I would like to know if anyone else out there had to quit breast feeding after going back to work??
While breast milk is best, there is no reason switching to formula would be bad for the baby. If you can get the pump to work, it would be good for the baby to get some breast milk. Even if you only give him a few bottles of breast milk a day, it would give him the best of both worlds. Whatever you decide to do, you can rest assured knowing that your child will be getting all the nutrition he needs. Good luck.
I am going back to work in 5 weeks and have been struggling with how I am going to be able to pump at work- as a first grade teacher, I have very few breaks. I also feel that the time I spend pumping at work will extend the time I have to stay after school to prepare for my students. I have many friend who decided to quit pumping to go back to work, so you are not the only one in that boat. My question is, what is the best way (for mom and baby) to wean off breast milk??? I understand it isn't a pleasant experience "drying up."
Yes, I am in retail, so that is why pumping is limited for me. I am a manager and if I get called for something, I have to go. It is painful..the drying up process. There is no way around it. My Mom says there are pills to help. So I might call my OB and see. My baby is fine with the bottle. It is just right now my husband has been feeding him because he is always going for my breast. So that is another thing...how do I get him used to me feeding him as well? I am sure it will all work out, but going back to work is going to be hard enough!! Let me know how things work out for you and I will let you know too! Thanks for responding!!
It doesn't have to be all or nothing. My drying up process was not painful with either of my children, because it wasn't sudden. I still nurse my 11 mo old in the morning and evening, he is slowly weaning and it isn't painful, because your body adapts and makes less. I have worked retail and I empathize, you may be able to gauge when you are least likely to have distractions, slow times. It should only take about 15 min. to pump. Hopefully they can figure out the problem w/ your pump. Have you tried giving him a formula bottle? He smells you and connects your smell w/ food, so the lactation consultant can probably help with that issue. Good luck.
I'm so sorry you have to make this choice. Mommies carry such a burden.
I agree that you don't have to stop completely and honestly the weaning process would be better for both of you if you didn't. You'll ache a little during the day but nurse as soon as you go home and all throughout the night. No matter what breast feeding is straight up the easiest thing to do in the middle of the night.
I had a C Section and by the time my milk caught up with the whole process he'd been eating from a bottle for about a week. I pumped solely for the first three months and mixed my milk with formula from day one. I tried to make sure that it was a 50/50 mix. I froze the extra for trips to Gma's house.
I started back to work at 2 months. Now, I'm spoiled enough to have a job that is lenient on mommies that pump. My son did finally start to nurse at 3 months (for those who have babies that won't nurse, never give up. Keep trying to show the baby what they're made for and eventually the baby will want to put something new in their mouth. The first signs of teething also help encourage the baby to try new things). I also had issues with my pump and it finally burned out. At that point I switched to a hand pump and LOVED it. With my next child I'll only use a hand pump. I can control the suction much more and the motor isn't an issue. Just swtich back and forth as your hands require.
What I recommend for you is pump once a day this weekend and encourage your body to make more in the hours you won't be at work. Nurse when you're at home and make your nights easier by keeping the milk makers on the job for awhile longer.
No matter what don't feel guilty for stopping. I know it's hard making this decision, but the fact that you even posted this question shows that you care like a momma should.
Good luck to you.
Hope things are going well with you being back to work!
I was originally going to just nurse my little one but then decided to do both breast milk and formula- I nurse before I leave for work, pump for 15 minutes once a day as part of my lunch and then nurse when I get home- i have been back to work for a few months now and it's going well. I feel like my little one still gets a lot of breast milk but I'm not killing myself to make sure every last drop he gets is breast milk- also, I think a little formula is probably good with things like the vitamin d and stuff. Bottom line is that any breast milk you can give your little one is great : ) even if you don't pump at work you could probably do the morning and night nursing : ) just will likely need bottles on hand as well in case milk production goes down a bit
There's an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with some great pumping information: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/
hi i was reading ur post and i know it was a couple of months ago and i wanted to know how it was going??? i'm working fulltime and i pump during my lunch and maybe try to push one more before i go home and nurse when i get home i wanted to know if ur milk went down or its about the same i hope u write back cause i love breastfeeding my child and wanted to keep doing it. thanks
Thanks for the interest. I too loved breastfeeding my children. When I last posted my youngest was 11 mo., now he is 18 mo. Both my children naturally weened around a year so I haven't nursed for about 6 months. There are a few basic principles to nursing that I always kept in mind, nursing is supply and demand, the more you nurse/ pump the more milk your body will produce, there are women that nurse, exclusively, twins. Another principle of nursing is, actual nursing is best, the hormones, let down, everything is more conducive to creating milk when you are nursing your baby instead of listening to the sounds of your breast pump while sitting in a room alone feeling like a cow at the milking station (that's how I felt) I looked at a picture of my child/ children while I was pumping, I put on relaxing music and locked the door to my office, even though at my office a closed door meant private, locking the door gave me the added assurance that I would not be interrupted. Sometimes I would call my mom (on speaker phone) if she was watching my child and talk about his day, what he was doing. Another principle is, any breast milk is better then none.
I tried to nurse exclusively for the first 6 months and once I introduced solids they didn't need to nurse as much, I remember spending days at home where it felt like all I did all day was nurse, (he was probably having a growth spurt and building up my milk supply) if you are working your body doesn't know that your baby is having a growth spurt unless your child care provider calls you with 2 or 3 hours left and says I gave him/her all the milk I had and he/she is still hungry, what should I do?
I think if you return to full time work and you are only pumping once or twice a day your milk production will likely go down. I noticed my milk was most plentiful in the morning so I would let my child nurse a good nursing before I left, then after 2 hours at work I would pump, at lunch pump and mid after noon pump then rush to the baby and nurse. I did not put either of my children in daycare until they were over a year old and had been weened so I had friends and family watching them and they were all very supportive of nursing so they worked hard to help me, by trying to hold the baby off if I was on my way instead of giving a bottle when I would be there soon and could nurse. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions, I am happy to encourage other nursing mothers.
You're a fountain of knowledge...and experience! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sincerely for the compliment. I hope I can help encourage another mom from my experiences.

When I got these I was very happy, until I actually looked at the package. Don't get me wrong, they work just fine, but I didn't know they had expiration dates. It's been years since I used one, so I just didn't know. The one's I got had been expired for several months, but I already opened the packages and they work fine. But, the seller should keep an eye out for stuff like that and as a buyer I will make sure next time I do
need to buy this works perfect with 2nd edition dual stim machine also its cheap and you are going to need it , good purchase
These electrodes are as good as the ones that came with the tens unit.
This is a great unit for the price. Be sure to order the extra electrode pads they are great quality as well. Surprised at the power of this thing!
Great value and quality. Ordering a ten pack size saves money and time buying smaller package. Would rec Omer this to anyone who uses the TEN system.
These work great with my Tens machine. My wife and I have used it numerous times and needed additional electrodes. First, I ordered a 10 pack and a week later I ordered the 40 pack. I will definitely continue to use this product.
The pads are the perfect size. They are exactly as they are shown on ****. Made of quality material. Very satisfied with the product..
This unit and electrodes help me get through the day with my pain. It does not give rid of it permanently but helps.
I broke my back in 1992 and since then I have had pain every night just as I am going to bed.. I was told by my PT that I should try a TENS unit as they are now cheaper. When I checked out the units I decided on this one because of the price and the ratings. I put it on just about 30 minutes before I go to bed. It is so easy to use and it really works. Within 30 minutes the pain is gone and I am pain free. I sometimes have to program it for some additional time but rarely. I can't believe I have been suffering for so long and this little machine has saved m for so little money. It has saved me so much money as I used to put on very expensive Lidocaine patches which I have not used since I started with this machine.. I am so much more content with life after getting a good nights sleep. All I can say is for so little money comes so much joy. Buy it!
You won't find them anywhere cheaper. Pretty happy with them.

ok. you guys all know I'm from Germany. We don't have cowboys there (or at least I don't know of any). Having lived here for quite some time, I've become accustomed to this facet of American culture. BUT! This is new to me—as seen on Oyster—Gay Rodeo. Photographer Mike Piscitelli offers up this photo essay. I love this so much.

18-foot cuddy cabin raffled off to aide veterans council causes
Members of the Baker County Veterans Council posed for a photo with an 18-foot Four Winns cuddy cabin raffled off Saturday to John Higgs. Pictured above from left are Mr. O'Neill, John Joseph, Jim Palleschi (holding the winning ticket), Larry Porterfield and Dan Masterson.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Kim Kardashian Engaged Again?

"Private Practice" Ending After Sixth Season

The publication — "PROTEST: The Power of Petition and Assembly in American Society"— draws a line from the American revolution to the abolition of slavery to women's suffrage to the civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s to today's Tea Party and Occupy movements. I was handed one last weekend while touring the center, which is the brainchild of a wonderful journalist named John Seigenthaler.
As we strolled through displays noting the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the Boston Tea Party three years later, I began to thumb through the pamphlet. At page 12, I was cut short.
That damn burning bus. Again.
OK, let's lay out a few disclaimers before going any further.
Yes, the attack on the Freedom Riders in Anniston on Mother's Day 1961 was horrific.
It was carried out by local racists that today we would accurately label as terrorists.
It shouldn't be swept under the rug. These events should be noted when telling the history of the civil rights movement and of this city.
I hope that's clear.
So, back to the tour.
As I first caught a glimpse of the picture, my mind went to work. I wanted to tell those on the tour with me: I live in this town and it's not like that anymore. That awful photo of a bus, smoke and flames billowing out, isn't the full definition of a city. The Anniston I know deserves better.
It's a rather defensive posture, I admit. However, the 50th anniversary of the bus burning two years ago is still fresh in my mind. Many of the Freedom Riders returned like aging war veterans coming back to the scene of an old and awful battle. They were welcomed by the townsfolk with celebrations, historic markers and general affirmations that the Anniston they saw in 1961 has changed for the better.
Yet, the images remain, a thorn in the side.
That damn burning bus. Again.
The challenges the city faces today have nothing to do with the Freedom Riders.
The city's population has dropped by about one-third over the past three decades. The 2010 Census tracts covering Anniston show sharp declines since 2000, including one section on the west side of town that has decreased by 23.5 percent. The same Census data show huge swaths of the city where the household income is below $30,000.
Anniston's school system is weighed down with issues. A major one is poverty: Nine out of 10 students in the district qualify for free or reduced school lunches. According to the Annie E. Casey Kids Count survey, in 2011 Anniston had a graduation rate of 58.3 percent. Only six districts in the state had a lower rate. This begs the questions: Where do those dropouts go? And what kind of work can they perform?
The city's violent crime rate is frustratingly high. We are only a few years from a record number of homicides, and almost daily the pages of The Star are filled with police reports detailing all manner of violence within the city limits. FBI crime statistics tell a story of a rate of crime disproportionate to the size of Anniston's population. Conversations in and around the city present an even more disturbing trend — countless residents who worry if they or their family will be the next victim.
Add it all up, and Anniston has plenty of serious challenges on its plate. (And we haven't even mentioned growing McClellan into a robust economic engine for Anniston and the rest of the region.)
That damn burning bus. Again.
That one image can't begin to probe the challenges the city faces. Nor can it explain the many great things about this place I now call home. Here's a challenge for everyone who cares about this city and addressing our problems of bad schools, an impoverished and unskilled labor force and unsafe streets. Let's put that charred Greyhound bus in its proper place in history. Let's move on. Let's move forward and robustly tackle today's wicked problems.

ill give it a try
It might not be a bad game but, like many others, I've really tired of MMOs. They are the same time and time again. I've not bothered with the latest batch because they look exactly the same.
Is there no creativity out there? I'm expecting a string of failures in this genre until somebody takes the next leap forward.
only i think that all games must have an assassin/rogue class? a fast one, w/ poison on attacks and the `invisibility` ability?(the last can be discard, because it makes the char so op)
is this the TERA engine?
what is this Tera expansion pack?? fail...
nice MMO, but again... what's new ? looks really like TERA AION..etc
Another fantasy MMO...
really, another fantasy MMO, ya, be definitely need another.
Good step in the right direction. Building a client bases for now I guess. Hopefully the next game they make has a few unique elements that sets it appart from other mmos.
this looks liek shiat. thought blacklight looked kool until i tried it. cant even imagine how bad this game is. perfect world is a bunch of sissy
Meh, same ol. I will just stick with GW2.
I used to play Gunz: The Duel way back in the day, and I remember hearing about this early on... but I thought it was supposed to have Gunz style combat in a fantasy setting with quests and stuff? Not this... Tera -esque crap D:
@JIMDOG4442002 Kinda except guild wars is all builds in each class just done differently. GW2 is going to be nice
It seems very Tera-like to me.
The art doesn't look overly-anime to me. I prefer the western art style and can't play a game that looks anime. Anime is way too feminine and kiddie for my taste. However, the Street Fighter-type voices and sound effects I hear in this video would drive me absolutely insane pretty quickly. Also, I find the tank/healer/dps thing to be an overdone mechanic that was never any good in the first place. I'm going to have to pass on this one.
hmmm sounds like Guild Wars 2 to me
cleric is undisposable in a party ? tank healer DPS game ? NO THANKS ! back to Vindictus
Hey, its another MMO with the "tired and true" way of play. Well you can both 2 classes in 1 or its partial of another class. Im tired of the tank, healer, dps melee, dps caster. Just no creativity, Diablo did just fine without a healer but in MMO's appearently you need one.. but i guess thats nobody can make a great system of having the player countering, parry, dodge, block, some sort of evasion vs the fight.. so they just have you dance a bit and follow ability use patern and its victory. Well actualy if you got so little time to evade certain attacks..(in some mmo's) then its the same as giving that time for a player to use a defensive action.
Looks like it could be fun, but I don't dig the japanese-esque artstyle.
In the initial 3 seconds of the vid i said WHOA!
In the seconds after that I said WHOA WHOA WHOA...
And in the end- *.* !
I like the dedicated class system :)
WoW killer #144
the character and gameplay design kinda reminds me of another tera, even though this is free to play which is pretty cool. Guild Wars 2 I still think is going to take my MMO top list this year, I know some people don't want anything to do with guild wars 2. Also phantasy star 2 is pretty good too even though i played the japanese beta its still pretty fun.
sounds like a stripped down version of guildwars 1
Looks like generic F2P MMORPS #3876123
I want in this beta. GS should give some out.
what happened to the skill based precision character?
and man they need blend the class "combinations" better or this is gonna be a pain to play
this game looks so cool
What about Archers?
@bernie1234 Oh, so much wisdom about a game not even released!
@RoadStar1602 Agreed not buying this one too ,but it might be interresting for the people that like JRPG
@JIMDOG4442002 nothing like GW2 AT ALL. GW2 is the anti-MMO...
@JIMDOG4442002 More like Tera.
@JIMDOG4442002 This is nothing like guild Wars 2. There are no archetype classes in GW2 at all.
@Master_Vexov are there any other things they should learn from Diablo? because that series is a f'cking black hole for creativity.
@Master_Vexov Hey, it's another gamer that bitches and whines about the "tired and true" way of play, but doesn't do anything to change it other than bitch and whine! While I do understand your point and can agree with it to a certain point, there are already quite a few games out there that tries to move away from the main archetype classes and healing. If you were really sick of the same "repetitive" game play offered by developers would've ignored this game entirely or do something about it other than complain more. Hell, it's not like the developers will read your comment and have an epiphany.
@H0RSE Looks more Korean or even Western to me.
@ydnarrewop you must not have finished the video
@666NightsInHell Have you played other PW games? I have played a few of their games and they still consistently release updates and expansions to their old games that have come out 5 years ago. They don't just neglect or let them "rot". This company releases expansions and updates for their games as frequently and sometimes more often then Western games, like WoW. Don't be quick to judge a game because it comes from a different market, like the East. And Fuck. Your name is annoying as shit.
@666NightsInHell you know the gameplay is completely diferent...
@branskamage Well it's kinda hard to move away from the main three archetypes of classes. I'm sure you can give them new and "cool" names, but it all boils down to their roles. Someone has gotta be taking the blunt of the attack, someone has got to be dealing a massive amounts of damage back to the mobs, and someone has to be able to crowd control and support the other classes. This game, along with many others, use the archetypes as bases and allows the players to customize skills to blend them as well. Tell me what other class they could add, besides a completely craft oriented one, that would be different enough from the main 3 archetypes so that it doesn't seem like a filler class they put in just for "variety".
@branskamage CEOs can't risk new classes because if it flops = no money for them.
That's why you see so many similar games one after another.
We gamers, always have good ideas for games and stories. CEOs only have 1 idea = money.
@Sento_brean Maybe in a future update? From what I can see, the game doesn't really need another DPS class in the mix if it already has the Sorcerer and Berserker.
Hey, it's another numb-nuts that bitches about bitching and just tags anything as QQ'ing/bitching/complaining. While i do agree with you nothing can be done as the dev's likely will ignore any idea given to them unless its demand by the vast majority of their coin. Really all it is just more mechanics, healers heal like dps'ers dps..., oh and tanks just build threat.""""It would be nice if the dev's got created""" thats just me NOT "Bitching" and just throwing it up there as it seems dev's have getting less creative. But you go right ahead and be a sheep and Tag things with your stupidity, its like listening to a fking 10yr talk ganster crap for no reason on Xbox. GTFO, kk thx.

Sorry for the double post!!!! but here:
I was looking at it again and i'm not too big on the eys, also i think her feet are too small... anything else?
Thanks Ged! I fixed the curve in the back of the leg after you pointed it out so thank you Also Nisaren gotta figure out a prize haha
So I just finished my first week back at school and I haven't really had much time to draw what with new classes, a cold, and learning about spontaneous generation (ie my container of quaker oats oatmeal stuff magically turned into moths... been squashing mini caterpillars all week) So today I decided to have fun practicing drawing different expressions and hairSPOILER! :
There was experimenting with the style of eyes and stuff. Also i think some of their eyes are too close together and others are too far apart, but ya know practice makes perfect and all that jazz. C&C would be awesome! Especially with the hair, I think i'm making it too like... not complicated but I feel like I shouldn't have so many lines in it. I'm thinking I should probably work on profiles and 3/4 views next huh...
Hope you all have great weeks, I might be participating in Kuviasungnerk Kangeiko (something my school does each year) meaning I'll be waking up at the lovely hour of 5 every day...
Sorry for the double post!!!! but here:
I was looking at it again and i'm not too big on the eys, also i think her feet are too small... anything else?
those faces are really nice
those calf's u drew Ged are like the same size of her thighs, that isn't very realistic xD
I think you could make her a little taller Cora at the moment she is roughly 4 heads high, usually a manga person is around 5-7 and a normal person is around 7 1/2 - 8+ depends on the build.
Thanks guys I tried to fix some things:
I made her feet bigger since I think they made her legs look really small (although her calfs might need to be bigger still... dunno) also made her eyes farther apart and her head smaller so she would look a bit taller (I want her short but i just wanna make sure it doesnt look weird.) Anything I should adjust more?
Here are a couple other things:
I think for this one the lips are too bright so I might try dulling the color a bitSPOILER! :
For this one something doesn't seem right about her hands, also I was trying to use just cool colors but I don't think I succeeded. It needs something...
Really dig that first one. Has a lot of... character to it, and even though it's just a straight on frontal view, it's not boring. I guess some extra stuff you could add to it could be a few smaller details here and there, depending on how far you're willing to go with it. You know, like stiching, and lines on the socks, if there are any. Etc.
On the second one: I like the design of it, althouh there is something a bit of wih the general shape of the head. It seems as though you put too much hair on the forehead, and tried to stuf her features in the remaining space. I like the colors though, not overblown or anything, just nice and subtle, and it works.
For th last one: The atmosphere is pretty great here, and the colors really resonate a cold kinda sensation. There are a few anatomy mistakes though, mainly around the elbow onwards point.
I think if she's wearing that jacket, it should be a bit more puffed up, unless you meant for it to be that tight. The wrists should be a bit wider to support the hands, take a look at your own, and others. That will lead to creating a much more natural looking set of hands. Another problem I noticed is that her right hand, which is overlapping her left, seems to have extra long fingers, or maybe it's the pose of the hands that make em look odd... ah well. All is well, whew, typed a lot.
Hope I helped a bit lol.
Thanks Gunz! Yeah with the second one I think I just put way too much hair on her head and for the last one I made a couple changes! I tried making the edges of her jacket puffy hoping it would make it look better, and I tried to fix the hands although I don't think I succeeded... But thank you for the help I really appreciate it
Dump of stuff I've been doing to avoid studying for midterms:
Did on group board. Was originally based on Alice in wonderland but shifted as i went
Was bored so played around with colors.
This project just made me sad in the end haha Things Im not fond of and need to figure out what to do with: background, cherry blossoms, hem of dress thing, and are her calfs too long for her body? I can't tell anymore... also the arm under her head is wonky.
Finally I'm trying to learn how to draw a dragon... but I'm in need of help!!! please
for the last one, i know i didn't give him/her feet haha I was struggling with the rest of the body so i gave up. Also didn't finish the face, and i think the body's too short. Woot!
So yeah... this is what happens when I'm avoiding midterms... urgh
edit: the idea behind the girl in pink was that she was the spirit of a cherry tree. But she doesn't look quite... ethereal? enough for me.

Just a quick suggestion for drawing dragons. Maybe you could do some studies of lizards, snakes and other serpents and use their anatomy as a starting point for drawing your dragons. Another option would be to study some traditional depictions of dragons, ie. Chinese dragons vs. western dragons, etc.
I'd be careful with the anatomy of the girl based on Alice in Wonderland. Her chest looks oddly drawn when compared to the line of her back.

Clipper Staff Writer
CENTERVILLE — Ambition, when done well, can be absolutely delightful to watch.
CenterPoint Theatre hits those heights with "The Scarlet Pimpernel," a gorgeous, funny, tender and technically marvelous play that feels like more than anything the theater has attempted before. Despite an unusual number of opening night glitches, the immensely talented cast and crew have put together a supremely entertaining night of theater.
The story, which is set during the French Revolution, follows a English nobleman as he sets up a spy ring to help free those targeted for death by guillotine. There are also betrayals, secrets, romance, adventure and a high level of farce to complicate things.
Holly Jo Samuelson blows the roof off the theater as Margeurite Srt Just, stage star, beloved wife and possible French spy. Samuelson has professional skill and power that always seems meant for a larger stage, and the role of Margeurite finally makes full use of it. Her scenes with Percy, her new husband who happens to also be the Scarlet Pimpernel, are exquisitely tender.
David Weekes brought a nice dose of silky menace to Chauvelin, the show's designated villian. His voice was impressive enough that I want to hear him play Javert in "Les Miserables."
As Percy, Brett Bradford has a strong, emotional voice that isn't quite as technically perfect as Samuelsons. When it comes to comedy, however, the man is second to none. His scenes as a fop are delightful from beginning to end, with Brandford milking every exaggerated line for all the laughs it's worth. He's also good in more serious moments, but when he's being funny you can't help but fall in love with him.
Though I can never tell when a director's contribution ends and an actor's begins, director Scott Montgomery clearly has an eye for the little grace notes that make people want to keep coming back to a show. The first big prisoner escape is a great example of this, with enough happening to make the audience wish for more than one pair of eyes. My personal suggestion would be to pay attention to the two men in ladies' dresses, but there's entertainment to be had no matter where you look.
The costumes were equally fantastic, with special prizes going to the outfits for "The Creation of Man" song. The outfits were hilarious, the hats even more so, and theymade an already funny scene that much funnier.
The stage crew outdid themselves as well, creating a concinving stormy sea using only a fog machine and wave projections. I also loved the guillotine, and can confirm that the heads do indeed fall into the basket. Though clapping wasn't appropriate at either moment it was used, I was tempted to applaud.

14 CAA Wrestlers Earn Victories at Day One of NCAA Championships
RICHMOND, Va. (March 22, 2013) – Fourteen CAA wrestlers earned victories on the first day of the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. Hofstra, Binghamton, and Boston University led the way with three wrestlers each advancing in their respective weight classes.
Hofstra, the 2013 CAA wrestling champion, advanced all three of its wrestlers sent to the championship. 2012 Steve Bonanno, who earned All-America honors in 2012, won a 9-2 decision over 10th-seeded Josh Martinez of Air Force in his first match but was beaten 5-3 by 7th-seeded Nathan Kraisser of North Carolina. He will enter the consolation bracket Friday morning against Tyler Iwamura of Cal State Bakersfield.
Also picking up victories for the Pride were Jamie Franco at 133 and Luke Vaith at 141. Franco dropped a slim 3-2 decision in the first round to Shelton Mack of Pittsburgh but bounced back to earn a 6-4 victory over Brandon Gambucci of Duke in the consolation round. Vaith earned a first-round victory over Nathan Pennesi of West Virginia (8-3) but fell to 4th-seeded Mitchell Port of Edinboro (13-2) in round two, sending Vaith to the consolation second round.
Binghamton's Donnie Vinson finished day one with a 2-1 record. The CAA Championship's Most Outstanding Wrestler started the event with a 9-5 decision over Ian Paddock of Ohio State in a pigtail match in the 149 bracket. Vinson dropped a heartbreaking 3-2 decision to American's Kevin Tao in his next match but bounced back to knock off Tyler Bedelyon of Clarion in the consolation round (13-1).
Binghamton's Derek Steeley finished day one at 1-1 with an 11-6 victory over Sam Speno of N.C. State before falling to Edinboro's A.J. Schopp, 8-0 and dropping into the consolation round. The Bearcats' Nathan Schiedel also was 1-1 for the day with a 10-1 major decision over Duke's Conner Hartmann at 151. Schiedel fell to Scott Schiller of Minnesota in round two (9-5) but is back on the mat Friday morning in the consolation round.
Boston University's Dane Harlowe advanced to the second round of the 133 bracket after a 9-7 first-0round victory over 11th-seeded George DiCamillo of Virginia. Harlowe dropped to the consolation bracket after falling to sixth-seeded Nathan McCormick of Missouri, 11-1.
The Terrier's Nestor Taffur and Kevin Innis each finished 1-1 in the 157 and Heavyweight brackets. Taffur defeated Wyoming's Andy McCullery 12-6 in the first-round consolation bracket of the 157 championship. Innis knocked off William Smith of Rutgers 2-1 in the heavyweight bracket consolation first round.
Rider's Zac Cibula and Ramon Santiago both earned victories on day one. Cibula knocked off ninth-seeded Frank Hickman of Bloomsburg by pin fall in round one of the 157 championship. Cibula dropped a 13-5 major decision to 8th-seeded Dylan Alton of Penn State and dropped into the consolation round. Santiago picked up a 13-1 victory over Josh Houldsworth of Columbia to advance to the consolation second round of the 165 bracket.
Drexel's Brandon Palik advanced in the 197 championship with a 14-6 first-round victory over Virginia's Michael Salopek before falling to the consolation rounds after a close 3-2 defeat to second-seeded Quentin Wright of Penn State. Also picking up a victory for the Dragons was Frank Cimato who topped Nathan Pennesi of West Virginia (7-1) in the consolation round of the 141 championship.
Old Dominion's Chris Mecate, seeded 12th at 141, earned his first career NCAA victory by defeating Brandon Nelson of Purdue 6-3 in the first round of the 141 bracket. Mecate fell to fifth-seeded Evan Henderson of North Carolina (10-2) but will move into the consolation bracket.
All wresters will be back in action in Friday morning's session three competition. All of session three, including quarterfinal action, can be viewed on ESPNU as well as ESPN3.com beginning at 11 a.m. Friday night's session four semifinals and wrestlebacks will be aired on ESPNU.

OpenVRML is a VRML and X3D browser plug-in and C++ toolkit for incorporating VRML/X3D support into applications. It provides VRML97 and Classic VRML X3D parsers, a runtime, and an OpenGL renderer as C++ libraries. The renderer is fully separate from the runtime library so that users can also provide their own renderer. The OpenVRML browser is provided as a D-Bus service, and is embeddable in host applications using XEmbed. The distribution provides both a stand-alone host and a host that runs as a Mozilla plug-in.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Java Classic RPG is an RPG framework, engine, and game that uses OpenGL, a challenging AI, huge territories, and classic pen-and-paper turn-based combat. It is in the tradition of games like Wizardry 7 and EOB, but incorporates innovations made possible by modern computing technology. The framework and engine feature a self-containing, playable, algorithmically-generated world, and can be the base for new games.
abiCloud is a cloud computing platform manager that allows you to easily deploy a private cloud infrastructure. One of the key features is the Web rich interface for managing the infrastructure. You can deploy a new service just dragging and dropping a virtual machine. It allows you to deploy instances over VirtualBox, VMware, KVM, and Xen. It features user management through ACL, infrastructure and network management, an appliance repository, and the ability to easily design virtual datacenters.
The QtLua library aims to make Qt 4 applications scriptable using the Lua scripting language. It is an alternative to the QtScript module. QtLua does not generate or use generated binding code for Qt. Instead it provides useful C++ wrapper classes to make C++ and Lua objects accessible from both Lua and C++. It takes advantage of the Qt meta object system to expose QObject members to Lua scripts and comes with user manual and examples.
Pybatis lets you use a templating engine to generate SQL in the same way we use templating engines to generate HTML. But while HTML is generated to send to a browser, Pybatis generates SQL to send to the database via Python's DB API, and then gathers the results. Pybatis consists of three things combined: Python's DB API, templates, and convenience methods. The core idea of treating dynamic SQL as a templating problem rather than a code generation problem (as in most ORM libraries) comes from iBATIS, after which Pybatis is named with great respect.
Duplicati is a backup system and an implementation of Duplicity. Duplicati enables you to set up and monitor backups on Windows or Linux. Duplicati is based on the Linux-only Duplicity backup system. Duplicati has a very user friendly interface that allows you to configure and monitor your backups. It supports backing up to a variety of destinations, such as a network folder, a USB disk, a remote FTP server, a remote SSH server, Amazon S3 storage, or a WebDAV enabled server. All backups can be encrypted and are digtally signed, so that no other person can read or tamper with the backed up data.
StarCluster is a utility for creating traditional computing clusters used in research labs or for general distributed computing applications on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It uses a simple configuration file provided by the user to request cloud resources from Amazon and to automatically configure them with a queuing system, an NFS shared /home directory, passwordless SSH, OpenMPI, and ~140GB scratch disk space. It consists of a Python library and a simple command line interface to the library. For end-users, the command line interface provides simple intuitive options for getting started with distributed computing on EC2 (i.e. starting/stopping clusters, managing AMIs, etc). For developers, the library wraps the EC2 API to provide a simplified interface for launching/terminating nodes, executing commands on the nodes, copying files to/from the nodes, etc.
SDLbits is a very lightweight SDL wrapper for Java. This library was designed to be very small and simple. It does not use Swig, but goes directly from "native" Java definitions to the sdlbits C wrapper library to SDL or OpenGL (in C). All symbols are exposed as they would be in C, except the "SDL_" prefix has been removed, since all names are inside the SDL class. The SDL structures from C are translated to very simple Java classes, such as SDL.VideoInfo. Most fields are exposed as read-only "get" methods, but "set" methods for writable members are supported as well. These classes simply interface to the actual C data with a ByteBuffer "pointer".
A library designed for MPEG TS and DVB PSI tables decoding and generation.
A library to solve the Schroedinger equation numerically.

Genius Recipes
Paula Wolfert's Herb Jam with Olives and Lemon
Every week, Food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: New life for the herbs and greens that linger in the crisper, thanks to Paula Wolfert (and Food52er fiveandspice).
- Kristen
Bundles of herbs -- the very things that bring life and color to so many recipes -- are too often the victims of crisper drawer abandonment. A week after that bánh mì or minestrone we were so excited about, we unearth the remains, wilted and weeping, entombed in their own plastic baggy coffins. So we throw them away, faces all squinched up. And we hate ourselves, and sulk about missed opportunity.
There is a way to treat them a little better, and ease this self-loathing. You can store them something like a bouquet of flowers: upright in a jar in the fridge, tips dangling into fresh water, and tops protected by a plastic bag secured by a rubber band around the jar -- a trick for keeping them hydrated that I learned from a family friend and wonderful cook known to all as Jagu. If you remember to change out the water every few days, your herbs will last for a freakishly long time.
But I usually don't remember to do this. And even when I do -- those herbs can't defy their fate forever.
Our friend fiveandspice tipped me off to the solution, and it's an herb jam by Paula Wolfert (pictured above). "It's completely changed the way I think about cilantro and parsley," fiveandspice says. "I used to never want to get a bunch of either for a recipe that called for just a tablespoon or two for garnish -- which is many recipes. I never waste any, anymore!"
In Wolfert's book The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen, she smartly adapts a traditional Moroccan spread (typically made with a native green called baqqula) to the modern kitchen (note that you can still use either a heavy-bottomed skillet or a "medium cazuela set over a flame-tamer" -- I'll leave that up to you.)
In a couple of nifty strokes of genius, Wolfert transforms your sad-looking herbs and greens into a spunky new animal. It doesn't matter if they're starting to lose their edge, that their garnishing days are over -- because you're about to cook the daylights out of them (see a full slideshow of the proceedings on the recipe page here).
First you gather up all your orphaned semi-bunches of herbs -- Wolfert has a specific cocktail of parsley, cilantro and celery leaves, but fiveandspice says she uses whatever she has on hand that needs using up. Throw in a whole lot of spinach or chard (or other not-too-sturdy greens). My favorite step: you tuck a few cloves of garlic in there to steam with the gang, then pull them out and mash them with a fork for the next stage.
You'll wring your herbs and greens dry and chop them, then bring them back to life, by sauteing them with smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, oil-cured olives, and that garlic, smashing it all around until it turns into a heady, delicious jam. Fresh lemon juice and olive oil perk it up at the end. It's rich and voluptuous, and surprisingly meaty for something with this much green packed into it (Can you hear me vegans? This one's for you!).
This jam isn't here to win beauty pageants -- it's glorified mulch, really. If this concerns you, serve it in your prettiest little bowl, with dainty crackers. Ours looked like doilies and were very good. Pull out a butter knife from your finest silver and polish it up, if that's what it takes.
Just don't let the jam's scraggly appearance keep you from its charms. Imagine what your relationship with your fridge could be, if instead of the unfortunate discoveries lurking in the corner of the crisper drawer, you always had a wee pot of this to greet you.
Paula Wolfert's Herb Jam with Olives and Lemon
Adapted slightly from The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen (Wiley, 2003)
Serves 6; Makes about 1 1/2 cups
- 4 large garlic cloves, halved
- 1 pound baby spinach leaves
1 large bunch flat-leaf parsley, stems discarded
1/2 cup celery leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, stemmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 oil-cured black olives, pitted, rinsed, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoon Spanish sweet smoked paprika (pimenton de la Vera)
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of ground cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper
See the full recipe (and save and print it) here.

Great idea! Sort of a cooked pistou, in a way, which makes me think an anchovy or two would not go amiss.

Here in Sonoma, where summers can be hot, this type of recipe is a godsend not only for fridge clean-out but for fast garden clean-out, when everything seems to start bolting all at once : parsley, basil, cilantro, arugula, the tail end of spring greens . I always thought of it as a kind of pesto, and usually grind it up with a few roasted nuts, lemon or some acid like homemade Worcestershire (thank you Amanda), some kind of pepper or other(try paprika mixed with cayenne). It also freezes perfectly, in tiny amounts. This jam extends that idea infinitely.....Paula's recipes always change my life!
(PS Our much-beloved Paula lives in Sonoma, too, how lucky is that?)

Hi Dot1 -- Paula Wolfert recommends storing the jam in the fridge and just thinning it with olive oil or water (and fresh lemon juice to taste) when you're ready to serve -- I don't think it would hold up very well if exposed to warmer temperatures for long. And because it's not very acidic, I don't think it would be safe to can either. So unfortunately, I don't think it would make the best gift to ship, unless you want to go to the trouble (and expense) of shipping it quickly on dry ice. An in-person gift would be the way to go!

Here's where you and fiveandspice are geniuses (and I'm not). Although I've made Paula Wolfert's herb jam repeatedly, I had never once thought of making it my standard way of using up herbs that were otherwise headed for the stockpot. Doh!

Oh -- I adore this recipe -- it's one of my go-to appetizers for guests! Great choice Kristen and fiveandspice! The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen is one my favorite cookbooks, and this herb jam pairs beautifully with the small semolina griddle breads found in the same book.

A student group at Orange County High school is going above and beyond to make a difference. In this week's Stephanie's Heroes CBS19's Stephanie Satchell is featuring the freshman class president, Emmet Aylor and the Student Council Association. They're raising money to help two brothers and former students living with muscular dystrophy.
Students, teachers and people from the community are filling the tables for the 10th annual community Thanksgiving dinner at Orange County High School. Each year the S.C.A. raises money for a person or an organization in need.
"It's a really big deal. Most of the community shows up and the community is great. It's always a good time," said Erin Peake, S.C.A. President.
Emmet Aylor is the freshman class president and suggested this year's proceeds go to G.W. Plumb and his brother Ben.
The brothers were both on the homecoming court and are graduates of Orange County High School.
They're now in their 20's, have muscular dystrophy and are wheelchair bound.
"They're really hard workers and I feel like we should try to help them out in a way that we can," said Emmet Aylor, Freshman Class President, Orange County High School.
Aylor has cerebral palsy, but that doesn't stop him from working hard to help others.
"It does take a lot of courage. Emmet really has a lot of initiative. He has worked doing many other things to help these young men out," said Laurie Limoge-Jamerson, S.C.A. Advisor, Orange County High School.
Aylor and the rest of S.C.A. know just how much this money will mean for the Plumb brothers.
"This fundraiser will help them because they're mom is taking them back and forth between work and doctor's appointments. So, this will help them get back and forth without all the stress.
Students have been working hard cooking, serving guests and even providing music making sure the fundraiser is a big success. They hope with every plate sold they'll raise enough money to get the Plumb brothers into a wheel chair accessible van.
