Carolina Day coach Joe Carrington felt "a little bit" like Mr. Miyagi on Friday night. His Wildcats played Rosman in the WNC Wells Fargo Holiday Classic and the pairing matched him up with his former player and assistant coach Ashton Hughes.
There was no "wax on, wax off," but his Wildcats beat the Lady Tigers handily 57-31.
For Hughes, it was a strange feeling coaching against her former mentor. "It was different for sure," she said.
At times, her Lady Tigers (4-3) played with Carolina Day, but the Wildcats' pace and depth paid off in the end. Hughes follows Carrington's team and had insight on what Rosman was getting in to.
"I knew they were going to be good and I knew they were going to be a challenge for us," she said.
What she didn't expect was the distance in the outcome. The Tigers came out of the gates as the aggressor. They looked in command at times in the first quarter, but the shots weren't falling. The bad thing for Rosman was that the shots were falling for the Wildcats.
Hannah Calloway scored the final seven points to give the Wildcats some breathing room at the end of the first quarter. Calloway finished with 12 points. In the second quarter, the Wildcats opened it up.
They opened up on an 8-1 run and the Lady Tigers never recovered. They were playing catch up for the rest of the game.
Carolina Day (11-1) led 29-13 at the half.
Rosman responded in the third quarter. The Lady Tigers looked fresh coming out of the locker rooms. Led by Candace Petit and Selena Hoxit, Rosman hung with the frenetic pace of the Wildcat offense. Hoxit finished with 15 points and Petit added seven. The issue was the first-half hole.
And while he was happy with the victory, Carrington said it "wasn't fun" to beat Hughes and some of the girls who play travel ball with his team, which include Hoxit and Petit.
Hughes played her varsity career for Carrington and was an assistant for one year before he moved on to Carolina Day. She's coached Rosman the last five seasons.
With that said, he can tell that Hughes is "going to be real successful" as a head coach. He can see the "intensity" and how Hughes (formerly Ashton Barton) is "coaching as hard as she played."
"She puts in the time," he said. "Her kids play hard for her. I'm pretty proud of her."

Home Buyer Centre
We are home buying agents, helping homebuyers throughout the UK to search for and buy their ideal home. Our service is provided both through the web and through retail outlets on the highstreet.
Purpose of the logo
The logo will be used for shop fronts as well as print and web marketing.
Logo Design Brief
We know what logo we want, we just require a designer to professionally create it for us, and provide it in 3 colour schemes for use on different marketing media.
We require a logo which is like the Natwest one attached, the only differences are that you must use our brand icon (see attached) instead of Natwest's one, and choose a font that works well with this icon and our colours. The colours we use are white, dark blue (as per the Natwest logo) and red (as per our brand icon). Also, we would like a keyline around the logo similar to how Winkworth have done it (see their logo attached).
The 3 colour schemes we need are:
1. White text and red brand icon out of dark blue background (as per Natwest logo) and white keyline border.
2. The reverse of above: Dark blue text and red brand icon out of white background and blue keyline border.
3. One colour logo: Silver. For use as a shop window decal in both positive and negative variations i.e. silver out of clear background and clear out of silver background. (see example attached).
Our brand is a professional yet friendly high street brand aimed at the full range of home buyers so the font you choose should reflect this. See an example of a font we like attached.
We are open to you using upper case, lower case or a mixture of the two, whatever works best.
What we don't want
Please do not add any other graphics to the logo at all. No houses, windows or roofs etc
Format of the logo to be provided
Please provide the original artwork files (for example Photoshop files) for the logo in the 3 colour schemes detailed above. We need the original artwork files so we can vary the size of the logo for different print or web media without losing quality.
In addition, for colour scheme 2 detailed above, please provide the logo on a transparent background as a separate file, so we can add to our website http://www.thelocalagent.co.uk. This will allow the logo to work with the shaded grey background of the site.

Hey there,
since upgrading from stable to 5420 I can no longer change any settings, neither via the web-interface, nor via madsonic.properties.
While they are shown to be changed in the web-interface, the change (default list type, port, etc.) never actually happens and the .properties file reverts to standard settings on every restart.
Also clicking on any of the different list types (alphabetically, top 100, recently added, etc.) just shows an empty frame.
OS is Ubuntu 14.04.1.

That pretty much sums up my relationship with one kind of cake - carrot cake. The first time I tried carrot cake, it was a piece of hard, dry cake with an overpowering taste of cinnamon and nutmeg. You can guess why I have stayed far far away from ANY carrot cakes since. BUT, this is different:
I made these Carrot Cupcakes after a good friend of mine treated me to a piece of her birthday cake which is Cedele's Carrot Walnut Cake. It completely changed my mind about carrot cakes, and being me, I wanted to try and re-create this at home.
I searched the internet for some recipes, and finally decided on this recipe from FoodNetwork. According to some of the reviewers, this cake has the problem of difficulty in unmoulding. To avoid this, I made them into cupcakes and had no problem at all.
These cakes turned out really well I must say. It's very moist and soft, with a right hint of spices. They are not very sweet on their own, but when topped with the cream cheese frosting, the sweetness is just nice. The chopped walnuts also added a nice crunch to the soft texture.
By the way, can someone tell me why carrot cakes are almost always frosted with cream cheese? Every recipe I've searched pairs these two together. Not that I'm complaining though.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 269 diseños de 59 diseñadores freelance.
NP Share
We are a credit card processing company based in Austin TX. We cater to small and medium sized businesses in the US. We consider ourselves to be a very flexible and dynamic company. Our primary website is http://www.merchantequip.com.
This logo is for a specific program that we offer to non profit organizations. It is called "NP Share". It is essentially a revenue sharing program for credit card processing. When a non profit organization processes credit cards with us for donations or sales, we reimburse them 50% of revenue we receive on their business.
Specific information about this program can be seen here: http://www.merchantequip.com/mercha…on-profit/
The logo design is specifically for this program.
Our target audience is non profit businesses based in the US. Non profit owners come from every walk of life, and just about every income level imaginable, from super-wealthy to very poor. The most common trait is that they are all very passionate about their cause and running their non profit.
The major concepts for this are credit card processing, revenue sharing, sharing and working together in general,and non profit organization.
We are looking for a "Unique" logo that conveys these principals. Right now we're using a very stock hand-holding circle logo as shown in the attachments "np-share-logo". The other 2 logos are of our parent corporation: The Merchant Store Inc., and our online trade name: Merchant Equipment Store . These logos "can" be incorporated into this, but this isn't a requirement. Feel free to experiment.
We need this logo to be very transportable, and it needs to be recognizable (At least in part) down to a very small size, think favicon small. A clean, fresh, but not overly web 2.0'ish style is desirable. Uniqueness is absolutely essential. Our customer are from all social backgrounds and age ranges. This logo needs to be acceptable and interesting to all.
The final product must be in true .ai or .eps format, photoshop eps does not count. Please do not post a logo if you cannot provide it in a true vector format. I will post comments and feedback as quickly as possible.

Gorka applauds Trump for putting 'a massive hole in the hull' of GOP leaders
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) —
President Donald Trump's alliance with Democrats against his own party's congressional leadership this week "should be a wake-up call" to Republicans who are still resisting the pull of the Trump train, according to former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka.
In a meeting with leaders from both parties Wednesday, Trump shocked even some of his own aides by agreeing to a deal proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to extend the federal debt ceiling for three months in exchange for Democratic votes for relief funds for Hurricane Harvey victims.
Hours before the meeting, House Speaker Paul Ryan had dismissed Schumer's offer of a short-term debt ceiling hike as "a ridiculous idea," but the bill passed in the House Friday over conservative objections by a vote of 316-90.
Despite his reservations, Ryan said Thursday that he understood Trump's reasoning.
"What the president didn't want to do is have some partisan fight in the middle of the response to this," he said, referring to Hurricane Harvey. "He wanted to make sure we had a bipartisan moment."
The legislation, which includes $15.3 billion in disaster aid, now goes to President Trump for his signature.
Gorka declared Trump's handling of the issue, which inspired much grumbling from Capitol Hill Republicans and some gloating from Democrats, "masterful."
"He didn't just send a shot across the bows of the GOP, he put a massive hole in the hull of people like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell," Gorka said. "He sent a message: 'I can do business with Democrats. Do you realize that I am not beholden to the establishment?'"
Gorka left the administration last month amid friction with new Chief of Staff John Kelly and his own concerns that people like him who supported the platform Trump ran on were being boxed out.
"We realized, look, we are committed to the agenda the president ran on," he said. "If we can't affect it from inside the building, we are far more able to support him on the outside."
According to Gorka, Trump is "a very positive disruptive force" in Washington, and Republicans in Congress should not take the support of the Republican president for granted.
"There's a lack of recognition among certain key players on the Hill that November the 8th wasn't the GOP victory," he said. "It really wasn't. The president was the rank outsider. He may formally have been the Republican candidate for president, but this was a man who doesn't represent the establishment."
He readily acknowledged that Trump's actions weakened the position of Ryan and McConnell, but he insisted there is good reason for that.
"It should marginalize their leadership until they realize November 8th was a signal, not just to the left," he said. "It was a signal to the GOP establishment."
Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak is unconvinced that Trump's deal-making with Democrats was the brilliant multi-dimensional chess move Gorka claims, but he sees a narrow path by which it could plausibly advance the GOP agenda.
"The only way this deal Trump cut with Schumer works to Trump's advantage is if it results in tax reform by the end of the year," he said. "The best-case scenario is that they cleared the decks and preserved the rest of September to pass a budget and begin consideration of tax reform under reconciliation, building momentum along the way."
What worries rank-and-file Republicans, according to Mackowiak, is that Trump appears to have gotten nothing in return for siding with Schumer and Pelosi, merely delaying the fight over the debt ceiling until December when Democrats might have an even stronger negotiating position.
"The concern is that if he cut a bad deal once, he will do it again in the future," he said.
While Trump defying Ryan and McConnell may delight the alt-right, Mackowiak argued the gulf between them does the party no good in the long run.
"Trust between the president and Capitol Hill leadership is at a new low, and when one party is divided, the party that's united almost always benefits," he said.
From a policy perspective, a three-month deal on the debt limit is relatively minor, according to Dan Franklin, a professor of political science at Georgia State University, but "it's hard to overstate the symbolic importance of this."
On the plus side, Franklin said Republicans have found in recent years that it is easier to govern as the party out of power, so this type of arrangement may free them up to disown necessary spending decisions their conservative base opposes.
"I guess the silver lining for the Republicans is if Trump starts striking deals with the Democrats, then they can complain about it and not take responsibility," he said.
After the frustrating failure to pass a health care reform bill with only Republican votes, this quick, easy vote with Democratic support may be appealing to Trump.
"It puts the fire under the feet of congressional Republicans, and I suspect he'll be tempted to do more of this because it appears it's a much easier win for him than dealing with the Republicans," Franklin said.
On Wednesday, Trump floated the possibility that he may make a deal with "Chuck and Nancy" on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program as well.
"We discussed that also today, and Chuck and Nancy would like to see something happen, and so do I," he told reporters on Air Force One. "And I said if we can get something to happen, we're going to sign it and we're going to make a lot of happy people."
For Democrats, Franklin said there is no immediate downside to working with Trump because the alternative is being completely shut out of the process as they often have been during the last seven months.
"It's a bit of a no-lose," he said. "They're not getting anything anyway."
If Trump fails to follow through on a promise, it gives them one more thing to criticize him over. Franklin did warn, though, that their supporters have a low tolerance for cooperation with the Trump White House.
"They're going to want to avoid getting too much in bed with him because the Democrats have a base too," he said.
According to Democratic strategist Craig Varoga, Democrats will not make the mistake Republicans have of convincing themselves Trump will suddenly become a normal, reliable politician.
"Trump's whole approach seems to be an impulsive mix of lies, abuse, and rootless, grudge-driven reversals," he said.
Congressional Democrats may find there are occasions where those tendencies enable them to work with Trump to advance policies they support, but Varoga expects those instances will be rare despite this week's flash of bipartisanship.
"If the country is lucky, there might be two or three examples in the next several years of Trump and Congress agreeing enough, even if accidentally, to do what's right for the American people," he said. "But I wouldn't advise that anybody, regardless of party or profession, hold their breath waiting for that to happen."

Pesellino, original name Francesco di Stefano, (born 1422, Florence [Italy]—died July 29, 1457, Florence), Italian artist of the early Renaissance who excelled in the execution of small-scale paintings.
Pesellino was raised by his grandfather, the painter Giuliano il Pesello, and worked as his assistant until Giuliano's death. He then became associated with Filippo Lippi. In 1453 he went into partnership with Piero di Lorenzo di Pratese, and during this period he began, for the Church of the Trinità at Pistoia, the altarpiece now in the National Gallery, London. It was left unfinished at his death. The "Trinity" altarpiece is the only firmly attributed painting by Pesellino.
Pesellino is famous for his cassone pictures, which were intended for the decoration of marriage chests and in which he illustrated old legends or tales in tapestry-like designs. Several of these are in the Gardner Museum, Boston. A number of works by Pesellino may be seen in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; and the Museum of Art of Toledo, Ohio.

Reps from multiple law enforcement agencies tell TMZ ... it is HIGHLY unlikely for Floyd to be charged with a crime .... with one person telling us, "Try to find a case in recent history where a person was prosecuted for destroying ONE bill. "
An official spokesperson for the Secret Service -- the agency that enforces the money burning law -- had no comment. Ditto for the United State's Attorney's Office.
It's bad enough that Floyd is burning money when the economy is in the crapper ... but what the hell is the point of the law if it's not enforced?
So, we gotta ask ...
I can't believe people voted that he should be prosecuted!!! Are you kidding me? Do you know how much it would cost tax payers to prosecute him?!!?! Give me a break!
When you're a celebrity you are suppose to be a person that someone looks up to...not burning money that a lot of people don't have, yes its his money but thats just an insult for people who are hungry and homeless, at least have a conscience and be a good example.
you people are funny you are mad because he burned a $100 really lmfao this was the joke of the day
Even Tyson wasnt this stupid. Its your money but I cant wait for the day youre broke and wish you had a hundred bucks to your name.. P.S pay your taxes!
Might as well throw that law right out the window. There is everyone's precedence for all future actions. Although, I don't know who else would burn money like that.
its just a piece of paper who gives a **** ....
this just shows what a real a hole this guy is...give it to someone homeless if he has that much to burn.. what a loser!
Its his money he can do whatever he wants with it whoever voted yes is jelly
Any U.S.dollar bill is a legal tender of America. He should be prosecuted. He could have donated it for a better cause.
if you are arrested for being stupid there would be a heck of a lot more people in jail than there is now. He should donate some cash to the food shelf to make things right------
Didn't even know that was a law. But anyways, is his loss...Seems silly to waste money and resources on this type of "crime".
Make him fight Manny Pacquiao. That should be his punishment

In 1924, with little to show for its bitter victory in WWI, Great Britain needed heroes. The mountaineer Mr George Mallory, a key member of the first expedition to attempt to scale Mt Everest, provided his country with an apparently uncomplicated one, and he continues to embody the qualities his compatriots believe define their race: amateurism, bravery, the ability to look good in tweed and dignity in the face of disaster.
Mr Mallory's story is one of glorious failure. Born in the north of England in 1886 he was introduced to mountaineering by a teacher at Winchester, his public school. His athleticism was such that he rowed for his college, Magdalene, during the three years he attended Cambridge University, while continuing to climb in the UK and in Continental Europe. He became a schoolteacher after university, and served as a second lieutenant in an artillery regiment during WWI.
Mr Mallory embodies the qualities his compatriots believe define their race: amateurism, bravery, the ability to look good in tweed and dignity in the face of disaster
In 1921 he turned his attention to the challenge that made him famous. Resigning from his teaching post, Mr Mallory joined the British Reconnaissance Expedition to map Everest and look for potential routes up to the summit - he wrote to his wife to tell her "we are about to walk off the map". A year later he returned to climb the mountain, and reached 8,225m (the summit is at 8,848m) before turning back due to bad weather conditions; at the time Mr Mallory objected to the use of oxygen. He was attempting to scale the highest mountain in the world without oxygen, while wearing a wool suit and a felt hat. Failure was, arguably, the price Mr Mallory paid for elegance.
However, Mr George Finch, an Australian who was also part of the expedition, was more forward thinking and used oxygen (and the world's first goose-down jacket) to reach 8,321m. The idea that the first man to conquer Everest might be Australian was, it appears, unacceptable to the Royal Geographical Society's Everest Committee, the organisers of the expedition. It viewed the facts that Mr Finch was divorced and had accepted money for lectures as reason enough to bar him from taking part in subsequent expeditions.
On 8 June 1924, the mountaineer set off for the summit of Everest. He was not then seen until 1999, when his well-preserved body was discovered at 8,160m by a team of climbers
Mr Mallory reluctantly agreed to make another attempt on Everest, but without Mr Finch in the group, and joined Brigadier General Charles Bruce's expedition in 1924. On 8 June Mr Mallory set off for the summit accompanied by Mr Andrew "Sandy" Irvine, who had been selected because of his ability to get the best out of the primitive oxygen tanks. Mr Mallory was not then seen until 1999, when his well-preserved body was discovered at 8,160m by a team of climbers shooting a television documentary about him. His injuries suggest he was killed by a fall, but whether or not he was at the time climbing towards, or descending from, the summit is not known. Mr Irvine's body has never been found.
While speculation about the success of Mr Mallory's ascent is irresistible, ultimately it's also futile unless new evidence emerges. Anyone interested in the real story should read Mr Wade Davis' gripping, and comprehensive, book of 2011, Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory and the Conquest of Everest. This gives an unrivalled assessment of Mr Mallory's role in the RGS expeditions, as well as a traumatic explanation for what drove him, and the expedition's other members, to adopt such a fearless approach in their attempts on the summit.

Notes on Welles (1)
I've been on a Welles kick the last couple of weeks. (If last fall's revelation was Rossellini, this spring it's been Welles.) For the first time in many years, I revisited several of his films and read the Bazin and Naremore books (both excellent). All these years I didn't quite realize just how formally daring—transgressive, even!—his movies can be.
It's a tad curious that André Bazin championed Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons as key moments in the history of cinematic realism, a sort of rejuvenation of realism after its decline at the end of the silent era. (Of silent filmmakers, Bazin especially admired Stroheim, Murnau, Flaherty and Dreyer; here's an older post for more.)
I find that there is so much, in large and small ways, that either disturbs or actively opposes realism in Welles' cinema. True: the wide-angle lenses and deep focus mean that our eyes take in a large playing area, both in terms of depth of field and width of field. Also, the long takes preserve unity not just of space but also of time. Fair enough. But wide-angle lenses distort (1) the image, especially at the edges; and (2) movement, making it appear exaggerated and extreme. Both these factors, of course, detract from realism.
Also, the rationale for using sequence shots and staging in depth is that it makes the spectator an active participant by forcing her to scour the frame and determine the relative significance of its various contents without the eye being guided or manipulated. And yet, Welles, in contrast to someone like Renoir whom Bazin championed for similar reasons, is a more 'authoritarian' filmmaker. The frame has been designed and filled with great care and premeditation. Further, his 'expressive' chiaroscuro in fact guides the eye by highlighting certain elements in the frame or playing them off against each other.
Peter Wollen, from his fascinating essay on Kane in Readings and Writings: Semiotic Counter-Strategies:
"For Bazin, of course, the crucial feature of Citizen Kane was its use of deep focus and the sequence-shot. Yet one senses all the time, in Bazin's writings on Welles, an uneasy feeling that Welles was far from sharing the spiritual humility and self-effacement, or even the democratic mentality, which marked for Bazin the 'style without style', the abnegation of the artist before a reality whose meaning outruns that of any artefact. It is easy to forget that, on occasion, Bazin talked about the 'sadism' of Welles, of his rubbery space, stretched and distended, rebounding like a catapult in the face of the spectator. He compared Welles to El Greco (as well as the Flemish masters of deep focus) and commented on his 'infernal vision' and 'tyrannical objectivity'. But this awareness of Welles the stylist and manipulator did not deflect Bazin from his main point. Fundamentally, his enthusiasm was for the deep focus cinematography which Welles and Toland introduced with such virtuosity. It was on this that Welles' place in film history would depend."
[…] "So flexible, so generous in many respects, Bazin was nevertheless able at times to restrict and concentrate his vision to an amazing degree. Obviously he felt the influence of expressionism (which he hated) on Kane, but he simply discounted it—or tried to justify it by pointing to the exaggeration and tension in the character of Kane, a kind of psychological realism, similar to the way in which he defended the expressionist style of a film about concentration camps (in the same vein, Christian Metz remarks how the formal flamboyance of Kane, the film, parallels the personality of Kane, the man). In general, however, Bazin simply hurried on to his favourite theme—the importance of deep focus and the sequence-shot."
I watched Kane, Ambersons, The Lady From Shanghai, Mr. Arkadin, Touch of Evil, and F For Fake. I had seen all but Arkadin before. I look forward to soon watching Chimes at Midnight, Macbeth, Othello, The Trial and The Immortal Story, none of which I've seen.

Jeff Cory needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Advanced Pediatrics
Advanced Pediatrics is the new incarnation of a pediatric practice that has been in existance for many years. The Pediatric Physician who owns the practice wants to reach out with a bright, modern, fun, and exciting new look. They are creating everything from scratch: from a brand new location to a kick-ass new website. All elements are colorful, kid-friendly, and attractive. The culture is warm and family-centric... it's a great place to walk into - even though you DO go there when you are not well!
The practice services kids from birth to 18 years old - all ethnics, all socio-economic levels. They are looking to pass on their new look to both their existing patients as well as to attact a new patient base. Although, being a medical service, they of course target the parents (usually the mother) - nevertheless the look is, and should be very KID friendly.
We want to have a new logo for the practice - - a combination of illustrative icon plus text (Advanced Pediatrics). COLORS: Use any colors you want but note that (1) the doctor does NOT like brown; and (2) he loves strong, bright colors. We're open to the use of "people" icons, and/or kid-illustrative images - as long as the look is young and fresh. FONTS: Use any font you want as long as the font is not too "corporate" - this is not a lawyers office - it's a children's medical practice. Of course the font must be easily readable and should not be too frivolous.
Bear in mind that the logo needs to reproduce fairly "small" for the website - as well as translate reasonably into black and white.
As an end result we will require a print file format and a web file format - vector as well as layered PhotoShop files - many thanks!

Freebies for RICL
Credit: Bureau County Republican | www.bcrnews.com 19 September 2012 ~~
Clear Line (CL) is an investment capitalist group owned by the Zapp and Zilkha brothers. This Texas-based group plans to establish four major long-distance electrical systems in different parts of the nation. Their path of high voltage transmission wires in our area is named the Rock Island Clear Line (RICL).
RICL has no connection to the former railroad or the town in Illinois. The name symbolizes their "dream." The Rock Island Line delivered grain to the Eastern markets. RICL will deliver power from their wind turbines, Horizon Wind, Zilkha Renewables and their coal plants in the Western states to a potential market in the East, Washington D.C. That is transmitting power more than 1,200 miles.
Wind Power (WP) and Transmission Lines (TL) are components. Many of RICL managerial staff were recent employees of Horizon Wind.
This wealthy group, C.L., is reaping huge monetary amounts through various federal incentives programs as: Productive Tax Credits (PTC). This year, Renewable Energy (RE) is given $4.5 billion. TARP or "banking bail out package" included $150 billion for RE subsides. The bank gets tax credit on capital invested. RICL bank is Goldman Sachs of NYC. Latest addition to stimulus bill allots $160 billion for T.L. Translated, a tax of $500 for every man, woman and child. W.P. pays no federal tax. The list could continue.
Another freebie, RICL plans to hook into our Chattanooga Smart Grid. Illinois citizens paid $3.5 billion through their utilities bills to upgrade the grid so to adjust to the fluctuating energy from Illinois wind turbines. Many of our 30 wind farms are struggling now to compete with "Real Western Wind."
Now is the time to stop RICL from marching across Illinois with their outdated steel lattice towers to our smart grid. High voltage wires can be buried. It is expensive, but so is stringing over 500 miles of wire and constructing over 3,000 towers.
This issue entails more than just the abuse of farm land, but the abuse of taxpayers and the people of Illinois.
On Sept. 27, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), unless RICL cancels again, is to decide if RICL can declare itself a public utility transmission company in Illinois. RICL doesn't want ICC to hear the voices of the people of Illinois.

I love doing what I do because I get to work with some of the finest young men around and these guys are two of the best. Luke Kuechly was drafted 9th pick overall to the Carolina Panthers in the 2012 NFL draft and looks to anchor that defense for the next decade! A few days later JK was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that needs help at the LB position. I am fully confident that these two young men have their best days of football in front of them and will succeed at the highest level. Congrats to you both!!

Top college linebacker Luke Kuechly and fellow Boston College teammate, Sean Duggan enjoyed their holidays and winter break by teaming up with yet another former Cincinnati St X Bomber football player, Rocky Boiman, for some training sessions at the Rocky Boiman Football Academy located on Cincinnati's far west side. In this video, it's Luke Kuechly, the leading tackler in all of college football 2011. Luke won the Butkus Trophy, given to the nation's top college linebacker, the Bronko Nagurski Award, the nation's top defensive player and the Lott IMPACT Trophy. In addition, Luke also was awarded the Rotary Lombardi Award. Recently, Luke decided to forgo his senior year of college football with the Boston College Eagles and have his name entered into the 2012 NFL Draft. Being a tackling machine, he's a sure bet to be a top draft pick! Luke Kuechly also starred at Cincinnati St. Xavier High School where he was an impact player throughout his career. Also in this video, Sean Duggan has just finished his freshman year as linebacker at BC where he has made his presence known... in fact, after watching teammate, Kuechly nab an interception for a "pick 6," Duggan snared his first career interception vs the Miami Hurricanes when he dove for a Jacory Harris pass. Sean was also an All Ohio player for St X head coach Steve Specht. Develop your "A" game and become the best football player that you can be at the Rocky Boiman Football Academy. Rocky will challenge each athlete to push themselves using specific drills and he'll coach the players to a better understanding of the game of football. Rocky Boiman was a star player at Cincinnati St. Xavier High School, a captain for the Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame... drafted by the Tennessee Titans and later winning a professional football player's ultimate prize: a Super Bowl ring with the Indianapolis Colts.And, if you happened to be watching NFL Football - Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans- in the United Kingdom yesterday, you heard Color Commentator Rocky Boiman describing the action and strategies to England and beyond.

Cole Combs (#10 below) and Ethan Lynch (#35 below) completed an undefeated season and were GCYL Champions for the 4th grade St. James Panthers. Cole was the shut down corner for the defense while Ethan scored three touchdowns and was all over the field making tackles in the Championship Game at Roger Bacon Stadium. While other kids were playing video games this past year - Cole and Ethan were training, sweating and improving with Rocky Boiman at the RBFA.

RBFA linebacker Sean Duggan, former standout linebacker at St. Xavier High School, has officially taken his game to the next level. A freshman at BC, Duggan was forced into the starting lineup a few weeks ago when the Eagles had some injuries at the position, and hasn't come out of the lineup since. To date he has 28 tackles and a fumble recovery. Congrats to Sean!

....no not QB Andy Dalton but the "real" Andy Dalton, Junior Linebacker for Hanover College. Andy trained hard with me all last summer and is having a phenominal year. He currently leads Division 3 football in tackles and interceptions. He just a few weeks ago broke the school record with an 85 yard INT return for a touchdown and was named HCAC Player of the Week. Congrats Andy, keep up the good work!!

I hope they show some female turians this time around, though from what I've heard female and male turians have more or less the same features.
I can understand that female salarians and female krogans are rarely seen in public, but I always feel a disconnect when every alien you meet is male while asari represent the female side of the alien populace.

I always wondered about that. With salarians and krogan it's understandable, but why don't we see any female turians?
Or for that matter, why aren't there any female qunari in Dragon Age? The handwave doesn't make complete sense because not all qunari follow the Qun--shouldn't we see some Tal-Vashoth females? Or unaffiliated ones?

so apparently they are working on showing tali's face but MIGHT just leave it alone. they really dont want to dissapoint the fans.
if they really want to please the fans put a poll up. "do you want tali's face to be awe dropping beautiful? decent alien beautiful, asari like.. etc" or not show it at all.

The best choice would be to keep Tali's face covered, because that's what charms people about her character never knowing what she might be behind that helmet. Or it may even increase the number of fans towards her, depending on how well and beautiful they make her face. But that's quite a challenge.

There will always be people disappointed by however way Bioware makes her true appearance be. Some will be happy with the face reveal while others will be disappointed that it didn't turn out the way they thought.
Which is why I can agree that it might be best if it's left to the fans imagination. But at the same time I wouldn't mind if Bioware decided to give her a face and be done with it.

I hope Tali's face doesn't get revealed. Because Tali is such a beloved character of the fanbase, they'd make her at least mostly attractive. And the BAWWW'ing of the "ugly Tali" fanboys and the "bro gamer feminists" (what a contradiction in terms, lol, too bad it's really true) will be so loud our eardrums will explode.

Might as well leave it alone. Fans have imagined quarians with human-like features and have ascribed similar standards of beauty for them that any deviation that Bioware will make to address their alien, non-human nature will likely be met with criticism. If they do the opposite, they'll be accused of pandering instead.
For now, all we know is that quarians have three fingers and toes on each hand and foot respectively, and that they possess two legs bowed backwards, two eyes and two weird alien ears. Plus, they have weak immune systems and eat more or less the same stuff as turians. They might as well be 'closer' to turians than human in the same way asari are 'closer' to humans than any other race.

Honestly, the best I can see Bioware copping out of this is at most, by showing Tali's hair ( if Quarians even have any ) from her back or something, maybe in the Tali-side ending cutscene or something.
Bioware's stuck between a rock and hard place in terms of satisfying its fans. On one side, the clamor and call for Tali's unmasking is huge, yet so polarized because everyone has this unrealistic expectation. Yet the same time, it's a bit of a cop-out to keep it hidden, and not even hint or show anything of the forbidden fruit as something that has been in the hoping since Mass Effect 1.
Hair is the best middle ground for these kind of things, I would say. It gives a base for continued imagination, yet it also has a semblance of visual beauty to it, as long as it's done well.

From what I gather from the recent interviews the flowing hood the quarians have is representative of hair so they probably don't have any under their masks.
To be honest I think they could get away with showing her face as I think alot of the fans will have the same expectation of her looks from the limited amount of her face you can see through the semi transparent glass of her mask.
I hope what I heard about legion being a non-playable character this time round isn't true =I

Well it's the same thing with the Master Chief, I think his face should never ever be revealed in anyway but at the same time I really want to see under the mask.
Still I guess while I hold that thought for the MC, in Tali's case I lean towards wanting to see what she looks like more than keeping it hidden
EDITtotally forgot the reason for posting in the first place) The delay is a rather big disappointment, I guess it will be Skyrim for the time being time next year.

HockeyShot needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
HockeyShot - http://www.hockeyshot.com
We are HockeyShot.com - the #1 site for hockey training products. We have 1500+ visitors per day, most of our customers come from Canada, USA and Europe. We are looking for a new logo that we will be using in upcoming promotional materials and jerseys (we do lots of videos featuring some of our best sellers and will be wearing the new logo).
Our target market is mainly hockey players and various hockey schools, hockey teams and coaches.
We want our logo to be very sporty with a cool edge! Ideally, we want our new logo to be abreviated (HS) with hockeyshot.com underneath. Our current logo is too wide for jerseys,... The new logo will be less wide (stacked) and fit much better on hockey jerseys, hockey pucks,... We also want the colors to be the same as the current logo (same red with black and white). Also, adding a puck in movement or a moving effect is something we feel would work well.
The main audience we want to target with our new logo is young hockey players (10-18). We want our new logo to be exciting, fast and fun! Hockey is a fast paced exciting sport so the logo should symbolize that.
We want a new HockeyShot.com logo (less wide than the current logo) and abreviated or shorter (HS) with hockeyshot.com underneath. The same colors (red, black and white) are to be used in the new logo. Ideally, its a stacked logo (currently, our logo is wide and doesn't fit well on hockey pucks or on shirts.
The theme is exciting, sporty, edgy.
This new logo will be used on tons of promotional materials we use; trade show banners, hockey jerseys, pucks, our Web site, videos,..

Kyoto is the second Japanese city every visitor should experience. After landing in and exploring Tokyo (two hours and 20 minutes away via high-speed rail) or Osaka (as little as a halfhour distant), Kyoto is the ideal next stop. An amazing blend of new and old, Kyoto cleverly retains its past while building for the future. Hundreds of temples, shrines and historic sites coexist with 21stcentury amenities in this extraordinary city of 1.5 million.
Nothing is more au courant than the amazing rail station, which blends soaring architecture and eye-grabbing design with a huge array of services, a hotel, department store, dozens of restaurants and shops. The very convenient local bus terminal is also situated here.
Remnants from Kyoto's extraordinary past, including more than a thousand years spent as Japan's capital, are the city's prime draws.
A key reason much of it has survived is that, lacking military targets, Kyoto was largely spared Second World War bombings.
Do note that Kyoto's heritage sites are widely scattered, both inside the city and in the surrounding hills. Trying to see everything during a short stay is virtually impossible and grouping destinations within specific areas is a must.
A great starting point is the 400-year-old Nijo Castle, actually more like a palace, built by the first shogun to rule Japan from Edo (Tokyo's original name). Moving there from Kyoto, he wanted an appropriate site to use when he returned. The multi-building complex has delicately designed meeting rooms, exquisite screens, and even floors that purposely squeak when walked upon, an ideal "alarm" against invaders or the uninvited. Here, too, are bridges, moats, fantastic gardens and greenery.
Among Kyoto's most famous sites is the three-storied, lakeside Temple of the Golden Pavilion, at the northern edge of the city. A recreation of a late 14thcentury edifice that was still standing in 1950 when a deranged monk burned it to the ground, it was later rebuilt, and slathered with multiple layers of gold leaf. Always visually stunning, it's at its best when bathed in late afternoon sunlight. Also take time to explore the lovely, surrounding grounds.
A short bus ride south brings you to the Ryoan-ji temple and its famous rock garden featuring white gravel and 15 carefully placed stones. Devotees of Zen Buddhism consider this garden a sublime expression of their faith.
To the northeast is the wooden twostorey Ginkakuji Temple or the Temple of Silver Palace. It's named not for its actual exterior but for its serene reflection in moonlight. Nearby is the start of the "Philosopher's Walk" which extends along a canal until it reaches the Nazenji Temple, another of Kyoto's most important Zen sites.
Nearer to midtown is the 13th-century Buddhist Sanjusangen-do Temple, which houses 1,001 life-size statues of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. And a short walk away is the Chisihaku Temple featuring serene gardens, and multiple rooms with exquisite sliding screens. Another easily accessible site is the Yakasa Shrine, reputed to date to the 7th century, and Maruyama Park. They are quite near the eastern boundary of Gion, Kyoto's most extensive cluster of historic structures. While commerce bustles along Higashiyama Street, immediately above and below it are much quieter byways where numerous wooden buildings retain a real sense of times past. Gion should be seen at least twice. During daytime mingle with the shoppers and stroll streets paralleling the canal that begins quite close to the Kamo River. At night, when many are drawn to Gion's restaurants, is prime time for spotting geishas. These women of all ages — notable for their traditional dress and heavy white makeup — still master music, dance and other centuries-old skills.
On the opposite riverbank lies Pontocho, a narrow lane lined with many dozens of moderately priced eateries. And, don't miss the fantastic Nishiki Market, offering an amazing array of products and affordable dining spots.
Decidedly pricier are restaurants serving kaisecki dinners, multi-course events that can cost several hundred dollars or more for two. Typical was a fabulous experience at Tempura Matsu where we enjoyed the finest sushi, Kobe beef topped with sea urchin, fatty tuna with wasabi, quail egg, soba noodles in a huge block of ice, and even soup with sea cucumber ovaries. Menus change with seasonal availability. But, whenever you go, the extraordinary quality, service, preparation and ambience are almost certainly retained.

Writing a Book on Sketchnoting!
EXCITEMENT would be an understatement in describing how I feel about getting a deal to write a how-to book on sketchnoting for Peachpit Press.
Thanks to a recommendation from my friend Von Glitschka, I was introduced to Nikki McDonald at Peachpit Press. I pitched my idea to her about a book designed to show people — regular people — how to include sketchnotes in their regular note-taking process.
Nikki and Peachpit loved the idea and made an offer. On Saturday, I signed the contract to write, illustrate and design the book.
Book Details
Here are some details about my forthcoming book:
- Final Title: The Sketchnote Handbook: The Illustrated Guide to Visual Notetaking
- I will write, illustrate and design the 240 page book, with lots of help from the team at Peachpit and a variety of friends.
- The book will be visual — crafted in my sketchnote style. Sketchnotes should be teaching sketchnoting, after all.
- To make it work as a sketchnote, I'm creating hand-drawn sketchnote fonts to achieve the look while maintaining complete control over the written text.
- A variety of top sketchnoters will be featured in the book. I'll share the principles of sketchnote technique using my work and theirs, along with our tips and tricks from years of live sketchnoting work.
- There will be a section dedicated to hearing, listening and capturing ideas, along with many practical tips and how-to techniques you can use right away.
I've already started writing, creating fonts and contacting sketchnoters for the book, so this is rolling down the tracks, full steam ahead!
Discovering and capturing what I and other sketchnoters do, in a process which can be shared and taught to others should be an interesting and challenging task. I'm both excited and a little scared — a good sign.
Keep tuned here as I work through the book. I'll try to share updates here and there as they make sense, though I know book-writing is a tough business. If I'm quiet on the blog for a while, now you'll know why.
I'd like to thank my friend Von Glitschka for the connection, my acquisitions editor Nikki McDonald for her guidance, my agent David Fugate for his wisdom and my lovely wife for her encouragement.

Dopo anni di aspettative, errori, problemi e rinvii, sta per succedere davvero! Sembra proprio che avremo questo Quarto Ponte sul Canal Grande. In una lunga, piena, notte d'estate, veneziani e turisti, assiepati sulle rive di un Canal Grande blindato, hanno seguito col fiato sospeso il passaggio del Ponte (non ha ancora un nome) o meglio dei primi due conci, i primi dei tre in tutto in cui il ponte è stato diviso per risolvere il problema logistico del trasporto e della messa in opera.
L'operazione è stata lenta e delicata, le chiatte sono state guidate con cautela estrema attraverso tutto il percorso, sfruttando l'altezza minima di marea per evitare anche solo di sfiorare il Ponte di Rialto o qualcuno dei tesori architettonici della nostra incredibile Città.
Ecco il link al sito del comune,con i particolari.Il ponte-scultura dell'architetto-ingegnere spagnolo Santiago Calatrava collegherà, finalmente, Piazzale Roma e la Stazione FS. L'opera porterà dei benefici enormi, non tutti percepibili però nell'immediato. Chi vive, studia o lavora nell'area Dorsoduro-Santa Marta, vedrà il percorso quotidiano decurtato di una buona fetta, incluso il ripido Ponte degli Scalzi. Diciamo che si tratta della fetta peggiore, di corsa a perdifiato per prendere quell'ultimo treno... I benefici futuri riguardano la riqualificazione dell'area di Piazzale Roma, l'integrazione dei sistemi di trasporto pubblico tra Venezia ed il suio hinterland, una ripartizione più intelligente dei flussi di traffico in ingresso ed uscita della città.
Overview and HistoryDo you know why you never like to get out of the bathtub? It's because you wish you were in Venice, that's why.Take one hundred and eighteen salt-marsh islands in the northern Adriatic. Combine them with Roman refugees and a liberal stinking of Visigoth invaders. Shake until well-mixed. Season with Crusaders, international silk trading and seamen of naval warfare. Glaze thickly with castrated Baroque sopranos and finish with a garnish of bridges. Serve on boats.Venice is divided into six districts called "Sistieri" in Italian; that word will come in handy when you're floating hither and yon. They are Cannaregio, San Polo, Dorsoduro, Santa Croce, San Marco, and Castello.Beyond these, there's Lido and Mestre. Lido is a sandbar to the east of Venice with 20,000 permanent residents and 65 tranzillion summer people. In the beginning of the 12th century, thousands of Crusaders were stuck here in Lido when they could not afford to pay transport rates for Venetian ships! See, location really IS everything.On the west side of the Lagoon is Mestre, which has the airport, the buses, the traffic and basically everything else from modern life that you come to Venice to ignore. To be fair, for centuries now Mestre has borne the brunt of the international shipping traffic coming into Porto Marghera, while "Venice" takes all the credit. Typical older sibling.How did it get here? Venice used its location at the top of the Adriatic to become a massive naval and commercial power. By the end of the thirteenth century, trading among the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim countries to the south had made Venice the wealthiest city in Europe.Venice declined in stature from the 15th century. First they lost a war against the Ottoman Empire and then lost a lot of business when a sea route to India bypassed their port. The Plague came in next and wiped out a third of the citizensBut nevermind that! Venice was the center of the musical universe during Opera season. Composers, musicians and mask makers would prepare all year for the orgy of productions that came to Venice during Carnival.Real quick -- opera was an Italian invention for combining Greek tragedies with music, theater and spectacle. It broke out of private royal courts and became a public event as of 1637, supported by a season of ticket sales before Lent. Hence opera season.Pow, zing, wow and instant popularity. Masks were permitted to be worn in public, European dignitaries arrived from everywhere, and this was THE PLACE to be. I mean, like, imagine Louis XIV getting up on stage to prance while the orchestra freaks out and plays the ritornello a few more times until he wants to sit down again. (Orchestras don't really improvise so well).Ever been to the movies? Thank Venice. In fact, to this day a vestige of the operatic tradition remains -- Lido hosts the Venice Film Festival in September of every year. Hint hint, late summer visit, hint hint.Getting ThereVenice is served by the The Marco Polo Airport. Here's an overview of where the airport is in relation to the city.Now it's time to look at that map and start cheering because you can take a BOAT to and from the airport!! Traffic jams do not exist on boats. Maybe some kind of docking delay once in a while, but who's going to complain about that?Thus Venice is yours for the taking (plus ten Euros to the boat operator).The airport is also connected to the city by buses, which regularly run to railway stations Venice-Santa Lucia and Mestre-Venice.You can buy bus tickets at the local tobacco shop or news stand.TransportationPublic transportation in Venice transcends all other people-moving devices on earth. This is how city life should be, enjoyable and relaxed during every instant of the day or night.Where on earth is the metro a primary reason for visiting? Nowhere. Usually it's the primary reason for LEAVING. Let me wipe the sweat of ugly metro-memories from my brow before we go on to this placid paradise.Buses cross the Lagoon Bridge (Ponte della Liberta) and connect to Piazzale Roma, Venice's bus terminal.Vaporetti are the crowded and cheap water buses that connect the canals of the city to the different islands and the lagoon. The Grand Canal is the main thoroughfare in Venice.The Number One vaporetto goes up and down the Grand Canal, making stops in all six Sestieri.Rialto Bridge is one of the three bridges that cross the Grand Canal - the others two are the Accademia Bridge and the Scalzi Bridge. It is dated 1591, a masterpiece of Antonio Da Ponte, after a long story of failures, disappointments, and falling wooden bridges... Calatrava Bridge will be the fourth one.It costs 6.5 Euro for a one hour ticket, so if you're planning to move around a bit it's probably better to get a travelcard. Ride unlimited distance for 12 hours and only pay 14Euros unless you're a dolphin.People and CultureVenice has a rich history and it's all slowly sinking into the sea. By pumping water for industrial uses, Venetians unintentionally removed some of the city's geological foundation. Soft mud, islands and tides did the rest.There are a few plans to remedy this problem, including floating pontoons, pumping water back into the soil around the lagoon, or "moving upstairs."Let's see a few details waiting to be found in Venice.Liuteria Veneziana, creates and repairs violins, guitars and the like.St. Giacometto one of the oldest churches in Venice.Floating fruit market at Ponte dei Pugni Rialto Side "narrow road means good food."Night in Venice is for lovers. Look at that sky!Things to do & RecommendationsVenice has restaurant night life but not disco and club night life. Young people go over to the mainland for that.Requirement: as always, get up as high as you can and have a look around. In Venice, you'll want to go up the San Marco tower.Text by Steve Smith.

So years ago I reviewed Imju Fiberwig mascara and hated it, despite it being a cult product in Japan. The fibers seriously irritated my eyes…spiky spiky.
Then recently I went a bit nuts and bought a whole load of new mascaras to try – one of them was the Imju Fiberwig Lash Knockout and the other was this an updated version of the Fiberwig.
And that, is what we are looking at today!
Imju Fiberwig calls itself 'Paint On False Lashes' and I guess it is – it's an extremely fiber (or fibre!) rich formula which you can build on and create long long long lashes.
Technically, Fiberwig is everything you would want in a mascara…or everything an Asian girl would want for her short, straight lashes. It has curl, length, water resistant-ness and is easy to remove.
They say:
Engineered to create the perfect lashes with twice the amount of micro-fine interconnecting fibers, the instant drying formula creates a long lasting film coat around your natural lashes. Fiberwig imparts a perfect, smudge-proof maximum lash extension effect with a water-resistant formula that's easy to remove with warm water, without risking damaging or losing your natural lashes.
Fiberwig, thankfully, do update their formula – when I was looking for ones to buy (yes yes, you know it, on eBay) they were sold as 2010 versions – apparently they update their formula occasionally. You have to love anything that updates apart from Microsoft Windows.
On to the brush:Old brush was straight.
New one, curly!
Tell me you can see the fibers, right?! Just looking at them makes my eyes weepy.
They also say that this mascara is:
A jet-black fiber film coats the surface of each lash with long-lasting, clump-free, lash lengthening color that's resistant to tears, sweat, and oil.
I would say:
– Yes it is indeed very black
– It does last a long time and doesn't flake unlike other very fibery mascaras
– It isn't entirely clump free, but I need to work on my application of this – it does tend to make my lashes stick together
– It lengthens – if you leave it and reapply it works quite well
– It's water resistant but comes off with warm water. Therefore…if your eyes water a lot this does eventually run a bit under the eyes. I wouldn't trust it for swimming etc.
Bare eye:
My lashes are in remission from my lash extensions. Yeah…don't believe it when they say they don't come with a price (read: sparse, weaker natural lashes)
One coat – mmmm it's adding length but because the formula is a bit 'sticky' my lashes are clumping together. I couldn't find my lash comb so it stayed like this…
From front view, yes it retains some curl but it's hardly flattering. Also the ones in the middle are starting to droop. Hmmm. On the side my eyes were not at all irritated by this new formula, but it's not quite the magic I wanted.
This mascara is good for one thing – it works really well with my Heated Panasonic Lash Curler – trust me, any ordinary mascara, waterproof or not will melt under the searing heat of this baby. Fiberwig does not melt, so this mascara will have it's uses.
Improvement is better than perfection….apart from when you are talking about a £10 mascara.
