FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 7, 2013) – With one month left in the regular season, the ETSU men's basketball team will take yet another shot at winning back-to-back games when they visit Atlantic Sun Conference foe Florida Gulf Coast on Thursday night.
Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside Alico Arena and the game will air live on both the Buccaneer Sports Network and ASun.TV.
For the Bucs (7-17 overall, 5-6 A-Sun) are looking to build momentum heading into the league tournament at the first of March, and putting together a win streak would do just that – especially with a victory over the A-Sun's first place team in FGCU. So far this season, all seven of the Bucs' victories have been single wins.
ETSU will be counting on another strong performance from ETSU senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis), who carried the Bucs to an overtime win over Lipscomb last week thanks to a career high, 36-point performance. Jones was named the A-Sun Player of the Week for his efforts.
For more on Thursday's game, read the game notes below or click the game notes link above. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team entered this new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season ... The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones missed the first seven games of the year for academic reasons ... Jones returned against Ole Miss on Dec. 14 ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU has looked to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. ... Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) have increased their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) are blossoming into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton has been getting help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville).
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2013) – After missing a game-tying layup on Thursday night against Northern Kentucky, a distraught Jarvis Jones (Memphis) said he was unable sleep after the game. Well, Jones should sleep like a baby after his performance Saturday afternoon. ... ETSU's lone senior guard scored a career-high 36 points in a spectacular performance that included three straight made 3-pointers in overtime, lifting a short-handed ETSU men's team past Atlantic Sun Conference rival Lipscomb 90-88 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The Bisons, who dropped to 8-14 overall, 3-8 in A-Sun play, had an opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer in overtime, but Deonte Alexander's shot missed the mark and the Bucs grabbed the rebound. With the win, ETSU improves to 7-17 overall, 5-6 in league play. ... The Buccaneers – who were without the services of junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) who is attending a family medical issue – trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half before going to their "white" full-court press with just over six minutes left in regulation. That defensive switch paid immediate dividends as ETSU produced a 14-4 run to tie the game at 74-74.
From there, both teams traded the lead four times before a Jones 3-pointer gave the Bucs a 79-77 edge with 17 seconds left. Alexander then tied it at 79 on a pair of free throws with eight seconds remaining, and later stole the ball from Jones with three seconds left on the clock only to miss a game-winning layup attempt at the buzzer. ... In overtime and already missing Hunter's services, the Bucs were forced to play without three post players – junior Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.), sophomore forward John Walton (Memphis) and freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) – all of whom fouled out during regulation. ETSU head coach Murry Bartow employed a group of guards at that point, which included Jones, sophomore Rashawn Rembert (Tampa), and freshmen Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.). ... That group – which did not have a player taller than 6-foot-4 – held its own against a much larger Lipscomb team in the final minutes and in overtime, ultimately helping the Bucs hold on. ... Along with Jones, the Bucs got 11 points each from Wilson, Rembert, Stramaglia and Walton. Meanwhile, Lipscomb had a team-high 21 points from Martin Smith, while his brother Malcolm Smith netted 18, Alexander finished with 16, and Stephen Hurt added 11.
The series versus Florida Gulf Coast
In a series that began in 2008, the Bucs own a 9-2 advantage in the all-time record books against FGCU ... ETSU's last meeting with the Eagles came on Jan. 12, 2013, a 85-75 victory for the Bucs.
Last time out against Florida Gulf Coast
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 12, 2013) – Down 19 points to Florida Gulf Coast with 17 minutes left in the game, the ETSU men's basketball team put five players on the floor – a group that included three freshmen, a sophomore and a senior. ... That quintet turned out to be a fantastic five. ... Led by a game-high 21 points from freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) and double figure scoring efforts courtesy of senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis), freshman guard Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) and freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), the Buccaneers overcame a 55-36 deficit to dramatically drop league-leading Florida Gulf Coast 85-75 in Atlantic Sun Conference action Saturday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... While Wilson led the way, Jones finished with 18 points, while Stramaglia and McClain pitched in 14 and 10, respectively. In addition, McClain dished out eight assists, while Stramaglia grabbed up five rebounds. Sophomore post John Walton (Memphis) was the fifth man in the fantastic five, finishing with eight points and five rebounds in 23 minutes of action. ... Indeed, it was as if the 2,446 fans inside the Dome were watching ETSU's youngsters grow up in front of them. After FGCU (12-7 overall, 4-2 A-Sun) seemed to have their way offensively at every turn during the first 23 minutes of play, the Bucs began their comeback with a 14-2 run in which Wilson, McClain and Stramaglia scored every point. ... While FGCU responded with back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 63-50 with 11:05 remaining in the contest, the Bucs did not back down as Wilson again answered with a 3-pointer and sparked the Bucs to a 35-12 run to close out the game. ... The Eagles did manage to get to within four points at 79-75 and had possession of the ball with just under a minute remaining, but as the Eagles' Bernard Thompson went up for an apparently open layup, Jones soared in at the last minute to block it away. Stramaglia picked up the loose ball and was fouled, subsequently hitting two free throws to basically ice the game. ... After shooting 53 percent in the first half and connecting on 56 percent of their shots from 3-point range, the Eagles shot just 34.5 percent from the field and 29 percent from 3-point range after the break.
Young Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has 10 players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, and of that group there are only six total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Jones meeting expectations for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow expected the return of senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) would improve his team's efforts on the offensive end of the floor … He was right. … In his most recent outing, Jones almost single-handedly won the game for the Bucs against Lipscomb, scoring a career high 36 points and hitting three straight 3-pointers in overtime -- including the game winner ... Since returning to the team in the middle of December, Jones has average a taem-best 16.5 points per game.
Rembert heating up from outside
Sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time this season, having made a 3-pointer in 19 straight games and currently ranking fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 41 percent on the season ... In fact, he's hit a 3-pointer in 20 straight games ... Against Jacksonville he gave ETSU's coaches even more reason to utilize him ... Hitting on 5-of-7 attempts from 3-point range against the Dolphins and counting the three games since that time, Rembert has made 37 3-pointers on the year ... He now ranks second in the A-Sun behind UNF's Parker Smith for 3-point field goal percentage.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has used 15 different starting lineups in the team's 24 games this season ... Injuries and dismissals have left the ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination, as the team currently stands at 7-17.
McClain a "key" to success for ETSU's offense
When freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) missed several games early in the year with ankle injuries, ETSU's coaching staff kept pointing out how much better the Bucs' offense would be when he returned ... This has been the case ... As an example, McClain dished out eight assists and did not commit a turnover in the win over North Florida (1/26), and helped the Bucs to a season high 56 points in the second half against the Ospreys ... In that game, McClain also pitched in seven points.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaging 15.3 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted six 20-plus point games so far this season.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 788 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.

Designing to Enhance Confidence and Effectiveness
Elizabeth Gerber, Northwestern University
Friday, January 15, 2010, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
I propose that we can change people's views of themselves through appropriate design. As a result, we can design in ways that make people more confident about their abilities and, as a result, more effective in their activities. My initial research suggests that this can fundamentally change the role of technology in our lives. I present design principles that support these goals.

November 23, 2012 12:51 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2012) - Candax Energy (TSX:CAX) is pleased to report that the remedial campaign on Ezzaouia has been successfully completed by the operator Maretap. Maretap is a 50/50 joint venture managed by ETAP (the Tunisian national oil company) and Ecumed (100% subsidiary of Candax). The five month campaign included remedial actions conducted on several Ezzaouia wells in order to eliminate scale deposit in the production tubing and at the jet pump level. Five producer wells are now back in production and we expect Ezzaouia-1 to resume production in the coming weeks.
Production Manager, Jamil Hamza, stated that: "We are very pleased by the results of the remedial campaign and increased production and wish to congratulate the Maretap teams for this important step forward."
The rig is in the process of being de-mobilized on Ezzzaoia-1 well and civil work will shortly commence in preparation for the implementation of the sucker rod pump. It should be noted we are optimistic that the change in activation methodology on Ezzaouia-1 from jet pump to sucker rod should better optimize the production from this well and may prove as a template for changes in the activation methodology used on other Ezzaouia wells in the future. We expect production from Ezzaouia-1 to re-commence in the second half of December.
An additional work-over was also successfully performed on the Ezzaouia-2 well in order to cure a recent leak caused by some sour Zeebag formation fluid on the upper part of the 7" liner. Production levels on Ezzaouia-2 have reached as high as 186 barrels per day and the oil water cut continues to improve.
As a result of the work over and the jet-blasting campaign, the total Ezzaouia field daily production is now approximately 750 barrels per day, a significant improvement from production levels before the projects were undertaken.
On top of these curative actions several studies for new activation methods and scale inhibition are being conducted and should quickly lead to a better control of the scale creation and deposit issues and will improve longer term decline rates.
Ongoing G&G studies conducted jointly by the partners and the operator are aiming to identify additional production through the implementation of side tracks and other methods to access remaining oil behind the pipe of existing wells. These various corrective actions and additional studies should lead to a gradual increase of production in the forthcoming months.

Candax is an international energy company with offices in Toronto Tunis. The Candax group is engaged in exploration and the production of oil and gas in Tunisia and holds an interest in an exploration permit in Madagascar.

I own a Asus EEE 900. It is a Celeron M, clocked at 900hz,1 gig ram, with a 4gig and a 16 gig internal SSD with Xandros as the stock operating system. I wanted to keep my Xandros on here as I have customized Xandros using the EEE PC Wiki .
So I bought me a 8 gig SDHC Flash Drive. Formated it with Gparted . I formatted the whole 8 gig flash drive as a Primary EXT 2 Partition with no swap partition. I then Downloaded Antix 8.2 and took out my Kingston 2 gig USB drive I have and used it to make a bootable USB using Unetbootin. By the way, You can use a smaller flash drive like a 1 gig or even a 512 mb to make your bootable flash drive. Though on the 512 mb one, I haven't tried it so if someone does use one. Let us know.
Ok, Now my 8 gig flash drive is installed into the r/h slot on Net book. I insert my 2 gig Bootable USB drive and Power up my Asus being sure to hit escape while booting so I can get into the boot order to select the live USB as first boot.
Press Space Bar as Antix Boots up. Now on to the Install. On your install the drives may be different designations than mine. So pay attention to which drive is which. I used Gparted and wrote down the drive letters for all my drives. Because with 2 internal, and 2 external drives. It is easy to get confused. So I recommend a pencil and a piece of paper.
Press AntiX Installer off of Menu Selection.
Agree to the terms and Hit Next
Now I open Gparted again during the install process so I can flag my Hard drive as Boot. I also Label my Hard drive as root "/".
I check every thing when done. Everything Looks in order. Notice that my 8 gig Flash drive is described as sdc1. This is important to remember as we go through the install. Remember or write on a piece of paper the drive letters. You will need them later.
Now close Gparted and we are back to the installer. Remember SDC? That is where I want AntiX to install to. So on Line 1a. I select sdc using the arrow next to where it says sda. I also select custom install on existing Partitions.
I hit next. This brings me to the next page. I make sure I click the box that says "Preserve data in /home if upgrading" so that my ext2 file system won't be reformatted as EXT3 (special thanks to ICE-M in AntiX forums for this tip). I make sure sdc1 is still the destination drive also.Disregard the ext3 tab window as clicking the box preserve data in /home if upgrading nullifies that.
Hit next and Antix installer is nice enough to give you one final warning and let you know exactly where it is going to install to and also that you do not wish to format either. Once you say OK and hit next. You will be off to the races. If you say no you can start over. Nice feature I think.
Now kick back and relax. Takes just a few minutes to install Depending on your rig.
Now to install grub. I make sure I have sdc selected as boot disk and tell it to install to MBR.
Hit Next. Wait for the Grub installed OK message.
Hit OK. On to the next Page. I accept defaults and hit next.
Next page type in Computer Name and domain.
Next page sets up Keyboard and locale config.
Next page you set up user name and password and root password.
Next page is the finish line. When you hit finish. You may get a error, about naming the user directory. I just click OK and Hit finish again.
Now you get a pop up asking if you wish to continue running the Live USB/CD or reboot into the operating system. I chose not to reboot yet because I wished to shutdown completely so I could remove my Live USB Drive without hurrying.
I power up again after removing USB Drive. I make sure I hit escape to bring up my boot menu again in bios. I select my 8 gig flash drive as first boot. Every time I wish to boot up AntiX as a dual boot with Xandros, I will have to use escape button to select external 8 gig flash drive in the boot order to boot up AntiX. If I don't, it will just default to booting up Xandros. I am Welcomed with the AntiX Grub Screen. It is quite attractive. I select the top Menu item. AntiX boots. I get a grub error 15. I think in my unprofessional opinion that with 2 internal drives,and one 2 gig external USB,and 1 external 8 gig SDHC Flash card. That grub menu.lst got confused as to which drive was the boot drive for Antix. I have heard from a friend this happens with a Fedora 11 install to a external flash drive also.
I press any key to continue. Next I press the "e" key to get me to edit the grub entry for booting root. I press e again on the next page. I change the root entry (hd2,0) to (hd0,0), I press enter. Then I press the letter "b" so I can boot. Antix 8.2 Final is now booting up. I press the space bar again to continue with the booting process.
After I get to my Desktop I open Terminal. Now I used su to become root user. I typed in su without thinking. Actually you should type in sux in AntiX to become root user. But su worked for me.Hit enter. I type in my password and hit enter. I type in
leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lstand hit enter.
That opens up my /boot/grub/menu.lst with leafpad editor so I can now edit it to boot up AntiX properly.
I proceed to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. I like a longer default time so I change it from 15 to 30 seconds. I edit both root entries in grubs menu so I can boot up AntiX and Xandros even If I boot from AntiX Grub screen. I change the Antix at sdc1 root entry from (hd2,0) to (hd0,0). I change my Normal Boot (which is actually Xandos) root entry from (hd0,0) to (hd1,0). My /boot/grub/menu.lst now looks like the screen shot below
Here is a complete screen screenshot of what my new AntiX 8.2 /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like. I only showed the smaller window on previous screen shots because I didn't need the whole window maximized to make the changes I needed to make.
I go to close the window when done and say yes to saving my changes.
Now all that is left is to connect to the net. I open Control Panel>Network>Connect Wireless.
I first go to preferences (on top task bar) and ( scroll though tabs in preferences till I find dhclient with a empty check box) and use dhclient to connect. You need to check that box to connect. At least I had to to connect completely. I then hit the connect button to connect up wireless and check the box for automatically connect to this network.
I then test my wireless
This is how I installed AntiX 8.2 to a 8 gig SDHC External Flash Drive. This worked for me. I prefer AntiX 8.2 instead of Easy Peasy or EEEbuntu because Of the speed at which it runs on the flash drive. Both Ubuntus don't require editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst if you decide to use either of those distros following this tutorial. I just prefer AntiX. Special thanks goes to Anticapitalista and all the members at AntiX Forum who held my hand and gave me help when asked for. Thanks guys.
One last hint or note. If You boot into Xandros with the flash card drive still plugged in and it gives you the pop up window for your flash drive to open it in File Manager. Just close it first. Then Unmount your Flash Drive using the icon from your bottom Task bar. The reason I mention this, is because the next time you boot up the flash drive into AntiX or whatever you install to flash drive. The boot loader will complain that you didn't unmount the external flash drive cleanly. It will then do a disk check for errors and then reboot again. So if you want to leave the external flash drive in its slot. Make sure you unmount it before you do anything else in Xandros. You might forget later when you go to shutdown. Just a small tip.
Update Sept11, 2009
To fix undefined Video mode at boot up I opened up as root /boot/grub/menu.lst and edited vga=791 to vga=785
This line in menu.lst is what I am refering to. You can use leafpad as root to edit it like I showed in above instructions.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-1-mepis-smp root=/dev/sdc1 nomce quiet nosplash vga=785

Dan Rosenbaum needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Stencilize is a new company that creates one of a kind street art graffiti stencils. These stencils are originals and produced by experienced stencil artists.
With these stencils, we are empowering newcomers to the art form with the necessary tools to customize their canvas like Banksy, Blek Le Rat and Mr. Brainwash. Stencilize will serve as a knowledge bank on everything stencil graffiti from how-tos to tips. It will be accessable to everyone.
Target age: 18 - 35
We want to target the people who haven't found the right outlet to express themselves. This person has a fondness for the street art aesthetic but not the knowledge to create their own canvas pieces.
The Stencilize Logo must be a stencil in itself. We would like it to be colorful and bright so that it makes it pop. We love neon colors but don't want something that is blinding to the customer.
By all means, if you can include a graffiti spray can, do so (but it is not an absolute requirement).
The type face should look like a freshly sprayed stencil. We would love to see drips and overspray.
Feel free to experiment with colors.
Here are examples of what we like:
Stencils we love:
Example of drip:
Colors we like:
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Shad Gaspard of Cryme Tyme has blown WWE's claim of being PG-rated out the water. "We're not PG. You see, we don't break the rules we just bend them until they're about to break, then we're still good," he explained.
"I understand that our show portrays a PG image but to be totally honest with you, when I'm in the ring, I don't think of PG; I think about entertaining and enjoying myself. Because if I'm not enjoying myself and you're not enjoying yourself, nobody is enjoying themselves," Gaspard said at an event to promote the WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 video game a few months back.
Speaking his mind, Shad added with a chuckle: "It's like if your watching a porno and the guy in the movie isn't enjoying himself, then I'm like, 'Oh man I don't wanna watch this,' ... You know what I'm saying?"
"You wanna watch someone who is enjoying what their doing. That's why I watch [porn], that's why all us guys watch it."
"WWE is sports entertainment, and sports entertainment has to be enjoyable to the viewer. And if the viewer is tuning into PG and below then they're not going to enjoy it."
"It's not the WWE's responsibility to raise kids. Even though our show is PG it's still for adults. We have hot girls on there, we have guys beating the hell out of each other, you know, there is nothing PG about sex and violence."
With girls on his mind Shad told us how his Twitter obsession has often landed him in trouble with his girlfriend.
He said: "A lot of girls hit me up on Twitter. My girlfriend personally doesn't like it, but you know what, I get away with it, I just tell her, 'Baby, I am portraying a single guy on television...' It's not like I want these girls to Twitter me."
"I love muscular and athletic girls," he said.
"The best thing about our Divas is that they know I am totally honest."
"The hottest Diva right now in my opinion is Eve Torres. I also think Beth Phoenix is a gorgeous women, an Amazon -- she is the perfect combination of sleek smooth muscles and intelligence. She's not a prissy girl. She is all woman."
Shad says he has a lot of love for one Diva in particular -- former Raw ring announcer Lilian Garcia who recently left the company to start the next chapter of her life.
"Lilian has always been a good friend to me ever since I first came to WWE," said Shad. "She always gave me great advice and would notice things I didn't notice myself."
"The first time she watched me walking out she came up to me afterward and said I looked like a little kid, so she told me to stand tall, puff my chest out, and I thought that was really nice of her."
"She didn't have to say anything to me at all. Lilian is a great person, a classy lady and I wish her the best of luck in her future."
Gaspard was speaking at an event to promote the WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 game, which was released in October and available all Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, DS and PSP.
Mike Aldren is a contributor to the wrestling section of The Sun newspaper in the United Kingdom. He is a Twitter enthusiast and is currently following Kelly Kelly, Maryse, and Michelle McCool. No restraining orders have been filed thus far.

When the issue of relocating the Chargers from San Diego arises, the two-word city that always gets mentioned is the city where the franchise was founded: Los Angeles.
But if the Bolts decided to bolt their current home, the Governor of Texas would be interested in having them swap the "Diego" for "Antonio."
Rick Perry recently addressed with U-T San Diego the possibility of the Chargers moving to the Alamodome.
"You'd have to ask the Spanos family," Perry said. "Dean is a good friend and I would be lying if I didn't tell you, come to Texas and we would love to have their athletic club there. But there's a family whose been there forever. If it gets so difficult for them to be able to operate, that's always an option, but again you'd have to ask them. I have no indication that the Chargers are going to be coming to Texas anytime soon."
The Chargers have an annual window within which they can break their lease at Qualcomm Stadium, for a price that drops every year. The Chargers already have informed San Diego that they won't be leaving in 2013.But the suitability of the stadium coupled with an inability to sell all of the tickets to the team's home games has made San Diego a challenging venue.

HOCKESSIN, Del. -- Marking the first presidential candidate visit to Delaware this cycle, Newt Gingrich criticized President Obama's comments to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as "alarming behavior."
"This is a president who is amazingly destructive of American interests," Gingrich said inside firehouse here. "He promises the Russian president as soon as he gets the election out of the way, he'll sell out the American missile defense system. They need to give him a little 'space' so he can be flexible right after the election."
Gingrich, who spoke before a county-level Republican meeting on Monday evening, focused his roughly 40-minute speech on energy – a theme he hopes will carry him to a comeback in the race.
"I believe you can develop a Republican campaign that despite a billion dollars in Obama money, despite the bias of the elite media, despite the power of the incumbent presidency," he said. "You can defeat him by picking your fights carefully and sticking to them."
Monday's event, held in a state that doesn't vote for another three weeks, also seemed to signal a new phase in the campaign. Event attendees were allowed to take pictures with the candidate for $50 per photo. Before tonight, supporters took photos with Gingrich for free.
Charging for photos, in addition to news that the campaign canceled a trip to North Carolina, contributes to the narrative that Gingrich is struggling to stay afloat financially.
But, Gingrich continues to vow to stay in the race even until Delaware votes on April 24th.
"It would mean a whole lot and I do think if we win Delaware it helps reset this campaign for the ninth or tenth time. This has been the wildest roller coaster I have ever seen," Gingrich said, speaking to hundreds. "You can make history here in Delaware and both Callista and I will be back regularly for the next few weeks because we do need your help and we do want your support."

anyway agree with anyone, text placement is nice, and you improved on placing some c4d only need to practice the blending a bit more, and in no time you will feel comfy on making some c4d type sigs.
Speaking of smudge I think there was a great tutorial here on how to make a smudge sig.
Ah here it is
smudge brushes are also on the pic, there's a link there.
oh btw about what you asked,
Cilogie and visitor are the fonts that I'm using and can be found at dafont.com
There are several ways how to blend a text, but the most eye-catching one is the use of clipping tool.
Here is a sample http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2009/10/0...-in-photoshop/

O_O I didn't mean to include his eyes...must have been an accident ^^;
Ooh...smudge tut? Wish I could do it but no time for me ;_; I have only managed to do two of the tuts you sent me -_-
I use Ernest for pixel fonts (I mean instead of Visitor ). I will have to take a look at Cilogie, thanks for sharing the info <3
I did tell Sworn about the clipping masks; I don't think she managed to try it yet.
@Sworn You are becoming famous now Or at least your thread is ^.^

Thanks Patchy and Star!! Yay for a famous thread!
ooh star thank you so much I am going to steal that if you don't mind ^-^ and then try it out again later. As for the light source, any suggestions?
I will try out those fonts and get some new ones too ^-^ I love fonts.
The blue-ness was literally a fluke. I was trying to do something different actually and ended up doing a fill-type-but-not-really-thing...and with the diff blendings i already had I liked it. I can *try* to make it less blue but I don't know how I would do that/how it would turn out really...
I just googled "FMA renders" and found one I liked. and then looked for a bg I liked.
Would y'all believe me if i said there was NO C4D in this sig? ;D just an epic blue bg and black and white brushes.
and then diff blendings and a random fill-y thing.
Then I put the text on the hand and messed with the blending. ^-^

Quick reply: I added light source just above Ed's head towards the left...
You can't really steal after telling me Go ahead, do whatever you want with it. Again with the light source, you can either choose bottom left or top left; I put mine in the top left.
And I still love the blue....
Oh, I think the bg itself was done using C4Ds You need to share that bg I found some of the others tuts I used before,want those?
Btw, congrats on getting your second bar! I want chocolates!! But really, congrats <333333

Hey Sworn-san I'd love to show you how I got my most recent real-people sigs to look the way they do, it's just that I have a mandatory study period right now >.< So until I get back in a couple of hours, I recommend that you get ready by getting some smudge brushes

Did you update your first posts with your recent sigs? I think you should make a chronicle arrangement of sigs in your first post. At least for now...
Oh, about the sigs, it's ok I have so many brushes too, that I don't know where to use them ^^;
I will upload the tuts after I come home (Practical exams today ;_; Not really hard, but I am nervous)

Oh the one with the black stroke on the outside (looks like glowed with a black color) version of visitor right? About the clipping masks, personally I haven't tried that either .
Yup fonts/texts are sometimes were the eye-catching part of the sig, so I think you should also try some different things on that part.
I really really thought that the bg you used was a manual c4d labor really a great find on that bg, and nope that was not fluke I think, it only portray that you are improving quite so much
Ok some BG links to help (this is the only things that I can help with, posting some helpful links )
the wallpapers here are so many, the best one are the abstract ones I think, and some of them are c4d bg.

Thanks Patchy and actually you are very nice ^-^
I will experiment with fonts and bg's.
Yeah, I just did some search on bg's and found it...it's from a site called fotolia. And then I added brushes which are the black and white swirly thingies.
Thanks for the link will surely use it!!!

Hey, like Patchy says, don't water down your own talents ^-^ The sig turned out so good cuz you worked hard on it and you are getting better dad by day ^.^ I would totally give you cookies but…I need to be more active in giving out cookies -_- I will give you laterz (that is, if you don't end up making another great one )
Oh, I keep forgetting but what were you auditioning for? And how did it go ?
What is it you were going to tell me?! I am sorry, dad slept for only 2 hours, so I got the net only for 30-40 mins today -_-; (dad should try sleeping more, it's bad for his health But he has so much work -_-; ) Can we talk about it in pm then? I would love to hear it
And the tutorials, I am uploading it now (ouch @ my net speed >.<)
Spoiler for huge tut:
The first one, it's kinda complicated but a good one. I used it once before. Uses some nice techniques and quite helpful; I would suggest you to try this whenever you have time.
Spoiler for Tut 2:
Second one, basic but effective. You can make nice sigs really fast
Third one; has nice blending Nice style which I at times use to make bgs more effective.
Last one…never really used it but it seemed nice when I was rummaging through my collection (I should have had been studying but I am down right upset, so I was checking out old stuff on PC). Nice and new blending style.
I haven't used any of the tuts recently (other then the ones Patchy sent ) I hope those are ok with you and your PC
(I don't claim to own any tut so please don't sue me)
Um...no, Ernest font is different, I think. I love clipping masks, btw. Used it recently in a real-person sig I did in request thread
Btw, you are really nice and helpful, a lot more then a lot of people I know, so stop saying it the other way around

Analysts examined how frequently bodily injury liability claims were filed for 17 hybrids and their nonhybrid counterparts when there was no related collision or property damage. Studied vehicles included 2002-10 full hybrid models and their standard twins during 2004-10 calendar years, totaling 25,382 bodily injury liability claims and 2.9 million years of exposure.
Bodily injury liability coverage insures against medical and other expenses for injuries that at-fault drivers inflict on occupants of other vehicles or others on the road.
Claim frequencies were defined as claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years (an insured vehicle year is 1 vehicle insured for 1 year or 2 for 6 months each, etc.). The analysis controlled for calendar year, rated driver age, rated driver gender, marital status, risk, registered vehicle density, garaging state, vehicle series, and vehicle age.
HLDI's finding is in line with 2009 and 2011 studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concluding that hybrids have a higher rate of pedestrian and bicyclist crashes than nonhybrids (see "Hybrids may prompt pedestrians, cyclists to prick up their ears," Dec. 22, 2009).
"When hybrids operate in electric-only mode pedestrians can't hear them approaching," says Matt Moore, HLDI vice president, "so they might step out into the roadway without checking first to see what's coming."
It's a problem that's cropped up as hybrids have become more common, and it's one that NHTSA is working to address. Earlier this year Congress gave the agency three years to come up with a requirement for equipping hybrids and electric models with sounds to alert unsuspecting pedestrians (see "Silence isn't golden when it comes to hybrids, electrics," March 30, 2011).
Moore points out that HLDI can't definitively tell from the data that a crash involved a pedestrian. Likewise, some pedestrian crashes may have been unintentionally excluded. For example, a crash in which a person was struck and injured and the vehicle also was damaged would have been omitted because a collision claim would have been filed for the vehicle. However, a sample of the claims suggests that these are mostly pedestrian injuries.
Hybrids have a safety edge over their conventional twins, new HLDI research shows. The lower injury odds are in large part due to their bigger weight.

The biggest question before the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft was not "Will he be drafted?" but rather "What position will he be playing professionally?" The multifaceted baseball talent was drafted as an outfielder by the Mariners, but has also received a lot of attention for his abilities on the mound. He has struck out 172 batters in his career, eighth on LIU's all-time list.
This year for the Blackbirds Jones made first-team All-Northeast Conference, batting .364 with 32 RBIs and nine home runs, the most on the team. The 6-foot-3, left-handed Brooklyn native stole a career-high 20 bases, making his 47 career steals good enough to hold the LIU record. His 63 hits earn him sixth place in the books, while his 47 runs place fourth.
He singled, doubled twice, tripled, and hit a two-run homer in a single game for the win on April 17 at Sacred Heart. His efforts earned him NEC Co-Player of the Week and College Baseball Insider Northeast Region Player of the Week. The College Baseball Hall of Fame even requested a pair of his batting gloves to showcase for the stellar performance.
Jones says he is "very excited and can't wait to get working," according to LIU's website. "The Mariners are a great organization and I'm eager to get out there and play. I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to play pro ball."

CME Group Announces Transition of Kansas City Wheat Futures and Options to Chicago Trading Floor
Feb 04, 2013, 02:00 ET
CHICAGO, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced it will transition open outcry trading of Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT) hard red winter (HRW) wheat futures and options to its Chicago trading floor beginning Monday, July 1, 2013, pending CFTC review. This transition will accelerate efficiencies and trading opportunities for customers trading both the HRW wheat and CBOT Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat varieties. KCBT wheat futures and options will continue to trade on CME Globex and be listed by and subject to the rules of KCBT.
The last day of open outcry trading on the KCBT floor will be June 28. CME Group will operate an electronic trading center in the former KCBT floor space until the end of September, providing a place for Kansas City-based traders to execute trades on CME Globex.
"Throughout the integration process, we've remained focused on our customers who manage global price risk associated with these two classes of wheat," said CME Group COO Bryan Durkin. "By moving Kansas City wheat to the Chicago floor later this year, we will make it as efficient as possible for our customers to trade both products and the spread between the two."
In addition, beginning April 15, subject to CFTC approval, customers will benefit from the integration of KCBT clearing services into CME Clearing, which will provide cross-margining and other capital efficiencies for market participants.
As the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, CME Group (www.cmegroup.com) is where the world comes to manage risk. CME Group exchanges offer the widest range of global benchmark products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, weather and real estate.

Of all the celebrated wines in Italy that do not receive the recognition they deserve, perhaps no wine is as given little attention today as Marsala. This is a shame – un gran peccato as they say in Italy, as Marsala was the most famous wine from Sicily for hundreds of years; today, it is still important, but as producers on this island focus more on table wines today, a lightly sweet fortified wine such as Marsala seems to be considered a thing of the past. Un gran peccato, veramente as a top-flight Marsala that has been aged for many years at the winery can truly be one of the world's great wines.
Marsala is a fortified wine produced in far western Sicily near Trapani; salt is a major product of this area as well and certainly one of the postcard images of this zone are the windmills that stand sentinel over the salt pans. The often torrid conditions here, somewhat tempered by breezes from the nearby sea, are ideal for ripening white grapes that are the source of a wine that reaches 18% to 19% alcohol. The primary grape used is Grillo, which tends to perform well in the heat; Cataratto grapes are also used in some blends, but clearly Grillo is the base of the finest examples.
I recently sampled five different examples of Marsala from Cantine Florio, a company founded in 1833, that is one of Marsala's – and Sicily's – most historic cellars. Today Florio is part of the giant company ILLVA Saranno Holding spa, which also includes Duca Enrico and Corvo wines from other areas of Sicily. Clearly the funding from this company has kept Florio a thriving wine estate, today producing some 3.5 million bottles of wine per year. But it has also remained a traditional Marsala producer, making several different versions, from the simple to the sublime.
Here are thoughts on the five different offerings of Florio Marsala I tasted:
2009 Marsala Superiore Secco "Vecchioflorio" – When you mention Marsala to Americans, most of them have an image of a cooking wine; this bottle is probably what they have in mind. A blend of Grillo and Cataratto aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak (the typical large barrels used in Marsala and many other Italian wine zones), this has a light amber color with aromas of caramel, molasses and hints of Scotch whisky. This is clean and well made with a light sweetness and should be consumed over the next six to ten months.
2001 Marsala Superiore Riserva Semisecco "Targa Riserva 1840" – 100% Grillo aged for six years in Slavonian oak. Light amber with aromas of caramel and hints of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with an off-dry finish of good length. Nicely balanced – best consumed over the next 12-18 months.
2000 Marsala Vergine "Terre Arse" – 100% Grillo aged for more than ten years in Slavonian oak (the term vergine refers to a Marsala that has been aged at least five years in oak). Light amber with aromas of heather, caramel and hazelnut. Medium-full with very good persistence and a lengthy finish with a light hint of sweetness. Good balancing acidity keeps this wine delicate in the mouth. Enjoy over the next 3-5 years.
1998 Marsala Vergine "Florio Baglio" – 100% Grillo aged for ten years in old 300 liter casks. Lovely caramel, honey and heather aromas. Medium-full with very good concentration. Rich, dry finish with excellent persistence, very good acidity and a light nuttiness. Beautifully made – enjoy over the next 5-7 years. Excellent
Marsala Superiore Riserva "Donnafranca" – Dedicated to Franca Icona di San Giuliano, known as Donnafranca, the queen of Palermo. 100% Grillo aged for more than fifteen years in 300 liter botti. Deep amber with intoxicating aromas of caramel, hazelnut, chocolate, orange peel and marzipan. Medium-full with excellent concentration, this coats the palate and glides to a lengthy, graceful finish with delicate sweetness, outstanding persistence and impressive complexity. So rich and yet so elegantly styled. Enjoy now and over the next 10-12 years – perhaps longer. Outstanding
This collection of various examples of Marsala was a real eye-opener for me, given the quality and various styles. A few of these reminded me of lovely older sherries or Vin Santo and as those wines are celebrated and noted in the international press, one wonders why Marsala is not given similar treatment. Perhaps it is the image of Marsala being something that was enjoyed last century; I imagine for some people, Marsala is not relevant. This is a shame, as the wines are magnificent!
Florio also produces other classic dessert wines of Sicily including Passito di Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari, which I will review in a future post.

125g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
25g cocoa powder
80g raisins
75g toasted flaked almonds
I am seriously craving that right now! Looks delicious - I always feel hungry when looking at your blog:)
oh mymymy! yumm this look absolutely georgeous I want eat! LOL
so genius to use ginger nut biscuits, would never have thought of that, can't wait to try it.
That looks delicious and very fuss free! Gotta love the fuss free when you just want something sweet, spicy and chocolately. Xx
Oh my, this looks great!
I'd go for a slice of this! I love these famous fancies :) wonder who next?
This looks very yummy!.
I love it.
Love from Spain
I have no idea who this lady is, but the tiffin looks smashing!
Ooh, yum. Love anything chocolate and ginger too!
I love no bake recipes! Not a fan of ginger though but I'm sure Hob Nobs would work just as well :)
Yumm "Y" !
Your tiffin looks really yummy and I love the flaked almond, raisin and ginger nut combination under that gorgeous layer of chocolate! :-)
So agree about teeth marks. Chunk, clunk, and slurp!
This is a very unique recipe. Chocolate and ginger? Hmm. That's quite a combination. I don't care as long that there's some chocolate.
Accommodation Denmark WA
Mmmmmn! I have just had to wipe the drool off my keyboard so I can type this comment! Want some NOW!!
Lorraine Kelly has impeccable taste! I've not made a tiffin before, and have only ever eaten shop-bought, but now I've just got to try my hand at it. It was the thick,tooth-marked chocolate topping that did it for me.
Not sure which I prefer more - the cake or Lorraine! Another great post!
I've not had tiffin in ages! Lorraine Kelly has excellent taste. Definitely agree about the teeth marks!
Hmmm, no, don't think I've turned on the telly before 9:30 before. That could of course be because I've never had one. Lorraine Kelly is new to me, but if she's into chocolate and ginger she can't be too bad. Your tiffin looks so inviting I'm starting to get a craving.
It was a good choice. Tiffin is always a treat! Lorraine lives quite near to us and it is always odd to walk past her. Not used to it yet :)
I always find chocolate tiffin absolutely addictive - Lorraine has good taste! Love the combination with ginger to make a change to.

Play It Loud
I am a musician, blogger, and entrepreneur who's looking to give fellow music lovers, guitarists, and musicians a brand new way to approach music. My blog is about giving a fresh perspective to those who want to learn about the instrument, while also providing entertaining content with high quality writing and education value. This will entail looking at music in a light that's free from the past, that's open to new genres and techniques, and looking forward to what the guitar and all music will become in the future.
The culture and personality of my company comes from a place where music is fun to play and not a dreadful chore to attend to every day. It's about giving yourself the right and the freedom to express your own personality through the instrument. Play It Loud believes in the idea that youth is a state of mind that must be nurtured through new ideas and a proactive mind.
I believe in the ideas I just told you because they are what helped me learn the art of music. I gave myself the freedom to explore music in whatever way I was headed towards at the moment with no limitations, discouragement, or so called "reality" to believe in. But also I believed that there wasn't any frustration or walls that couldn't be overcome.
And ultimately it was about enjoying to practice a piece of music because you're instantly closer to all the things you might love about it.
The market I'm trying to reach can be summed up as anyone who doesn't like the way the guitar has been taught before. That is, I want to shatter the idea that you must go to a teacher, experience dreadful amounts of practice time, and forget about playing the music that inspired them to learn guitar in the first place.
It's for people who want other genres besides the usual rock, metal, and blues music commonly associated with the guitar by going into pop, classical, jazz, or even hip-hop music to learn and grow enthusiasm for the guitar.
It's also for those who want the knowledge and peace of mind that comes from spending less money on a hobby, fewer limiting beliefs imposed upon them from an outside source (like a guitar teacher), and saving years of frustration from doing all of this on their own like I did.
To get into more specifics I'm looking for people who are more independent, ambitious, and goal-oriented than most. Obviously this will appeal to anyone who is younger than 30, but I want it to appeal to anyone who is young at heart. That has a childlike enthusiasm and excitement for new ideas.
But ultimately for people who want real results and accomplish real goals and are not taken in by fluff and magic bullets. I was able to learn how to express myself through music, and I want to give that ability back to anyone who wants it too.
I'm just learning how to take full advantage of social media tools like twitter and I'd like a background that will help express this personality.
If you visit my blog at http://www.playitloudblog.com/ you'll see that the design is relatively simple with just blue and white colors. I'd like to provide some continuity with the blog, as well as have this link prominently displayed in the background.
My twitter profile has been used mainly to create a place where others can be inspired, entertained, and expect lots of valuable content, while also providing a gateway to my blog/store. Part of this involves some humorous taglines I've created to express my own personality on twitter.
They include: "the best way to love thy neighbor", "my house, no rules", "you'll lose your hearing anyway", "where you become the teacher", and the biggest one is "Freedom to play your own way."
If you can find some way to put all of these in the background in a creative way that would rock, but if you think it would work better with just one tagline that's fine too. But the one I really need to be featured is the "Freedom" tagline.
Ultimately I want you all to be as creative as you'd like with this because I believe it will let you create a great design we'll both be happy with. If you have any follow-up questions or clarifications for me to make please don't hesitate to give them to me!

When it comes to winning an oyster-shucking contest, Keith Rose says there is no such thing as luck.
"It's skill," according to the Wellfleet, Mass.-based sea clam boat captain.
Rose ought to know. He is the reigning East Coast champion after winning the Boston Seafood Show's shucking contest last month.
His pedigree is precisely why Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar flew him out to Boulder to participate as one of 15 contestants in a shuck-off, one of the marquee events of the inaugural High West Oyster Fest, held at the Boulder Theater on Tuesday night.
"I'm 51, and I've been shucking since I could hold a knife," said Rose, who brought with him the knife that helped him win the Boston contest. In the end, though, Rose was bested by Jesse Migchelbrink, of Jax's Denver location.
The shuck-off is a new part of Jax's 15-year celebration of oysters every spring. The oyster eating contest -- during which seven people were challenged to suck down as many raw oysters as they could within 90 seconds -- has been a longstanding tradition at Jax. Steven "Guido" Orth, of Aurora, won the oyster eating contest Tuesday after slurping 70.
The High West Oyster Fest drew more than 400 people to the theater Tuesday night and served up 8,000 donated oysters, according to Jax general manager John-Mark Larter.
All proceeds from the event are being donated to Colorado-based nonprofit Veterans Expeditions, organizers said.
The popular seafood restaurant celebrates the "charitable mollusk" by donating money from each oyster sold throughout March to charities every year, but Tuesday's event -- during which Larter estimated $50,000 would be raised if all 8,000 oysters were sold as expected -- was a new level.
"This is by far the biggest, craziest thing we have ever done," said Larter, who reached out to Veterans Expeditions after learning about it through friends. "My grandfathers were veterans, my little brother is a veteran, so it wasn't a big jump for me to get involved."
Now based in Salida, the nonprofit Veterans Expeditions was founded in Boulder in 2010. It is dedicated to using wilderness challenges, such as climbing trips, to help military veterans connect with one another, build camaraderie and focus on reintegrating into daily life at home.
The money raised Tuesday will all go directly to programs for Colorado veterans, according to organization co-founder Stacy Bare. That includes helping send veterans to the organization's planned 9/11 climbing trip to Mount Olympus in Washington.
"I'm shocked at how many people are here to support veterans, and I think it is awesome," Bare said.
Among other events Tuesday was a raffle featuring prizes including custom Folsom skis and Whole Foods gift cards. Folsom and Whole Foods were two of the numerous sponsors. Live tunes were provided by local funk-rock band, Juno What?!.
And, of course, there were oysters, Odell Brewing Co.'s Emersum Oyster Stout beer and lots of other food.
Boulder's Chris Owens started off with two dozen of the mighty mollusks to get things going Tuesday.
"I love oysters, and I love dancing," he said. "I think this is great."
