Websterville Warriors Dominate Crusaders 93-27
NEWPORT–In the second half of the double-header, it was the UCA boys squaring off against the Websterville Baptist Warriors. The contest could be called a soul crushing defeat for United Christian, as the Crusaders as dropped the game 93 -27 to the Warriors."Obviously the score reflects that they were definitely the better team today," said Coach Tony DeLaBruere.At the start of the game UCA seemed to be able to run with the quick moving Warriors.Websterville's big man Andrew Skuman dropped down two points and UCA's Chris DeLaBruere answered with a three and it seemed like a high scoring, back and forth game was about to unfold.Well, half of that last statement came true.It was a high scoring affair, but unfortunately for the Crusader crowd, it would be a very one-sided contest.The Warriors put thirty-four more points on the board in the first, including a twenty-five point run to close out the frame, giving them a daunting 36-5 lead after eight minutes.It was actually quite a sight to see from purely a basketball perspective.Websterville seemed to be everywhere at once, stealing passes, blocking shots, and turning the ball around so quickly that they were scoring on just about every possession.J. Tillis (first name not given) had twelve in the quarter, followed by nine from Skuman and Joe Tetreault.Paul Samaan knocked down two from the line for UCA's other two points.In the second the two teams once more traded baskets early, then Websterville went right back into scoring mode, going on another big run, this time for fifteen, and by the time the horn blew it was 59-11in the visiting teams' favor.As the second wound down, the frustration started to show on the faces of the Crusaders, but they were able to check that anger to the delight of their coach."We were starting to slip into negativity at certain times, but we were able to pull back out of it," said coach DeLaBruere.The team had hoped to come out and be more competitive in the final sixteen minutes, and they were able to put nine points on the board in the third.Chris DeLaBruere had a three and two free throws, and Paul Samaan and Dale Martell each had a field goal in the quarter, and in the fourth Samaan had a trey and a free throw, and Jon DeLaBruere also scored from downtown to bring the UCA total to twenty seven."We wanted to do in the second half what we did to Canaan, where we actually came back and out scored them by four. I told the team that we would probably not out score this team, but we can still come out and have that same positive result and split it into to two games."I thought in the second half we did much better, especially the third quarter."On this day there would be no stopping the Warriors as they scored 34 points in the second half, coming seven points short of triple digits.Chris DeLaBruere and Samaan were the top scorers for UCA, each with ten points on the afternoon. Jon DeLaBruere had three and Martell had four to complete the scoring.The team will need to get more scoring from the rest of the squad if they want to be competitive in division four as they enter the busy part of the schedule.The will follow the girls to Whitcomb on Thursday, hitting the hardwood at 7:30.

Jack Potter: "I want a full meal, not a nibbly snack!"
When I first stepped foot into Jack Potters class, back in 1997, it was intimidating. Jack, with his bald head and strong voice, had us draw with a "big punchy pencil" on white paper.
The focus was on shape and composition. He wanted us to interpret what we saw rather than draw it as accurately as possible.
There was great energy in the room and much of it had to do with his enthusiasm for his students and the work they were doing.
Jack would find his models at flea markets or anywhere he could during his daily routine. He sought out models that he felt had a certain look that would make our drawings better.
Sometimes he'd have his models pose by themselves but usually he'd put them in some sort of scene. Maybe two models at a table watching television. Or a few models set up to look like a murder scene.
Whatever it was he wanted us to draw the entire composition, get us seeing the shapes and the big picture.
Towards the end of class he'd take one or two drawings, tape them to the wall and give a talk. I remember him telling a student "I want a full meal, not a nibbly snack!" and another time he compared the good in a drawing to MSG in Chinese food.
He was a serious artist but also had a sense of humor. He told us that he became a "caricature" because of his students. He spoke in an exaggerated manner because he felt that he had to be clear when pointing out an idea.
At times he'd also do "diagram" drawings to show us what he felt could be better in our work. The wall talks helped me grasp a visual example of what he was verbally talking about. He gave his all and did his best (in his words) to "push us up the mountain."
Concluded tomorrow...

We're fortunate if in our 'art' lives we've had an inspiring instructor. I've never been a big fan of Potter's commercial work....I've always felt the drawing a bit weak, good but not exceptional design qualities. But this week's TI has opened my mind and made me aware of his goals and direction and his dedication to creating art as opposed to a reproduction of figures and of scenes. Not well expressed....but his students were benefited greatly by his teaching. Thanks, Daniel, for a fine TI blog.ReplyDelete
I'm happy to share. One of the great things about Today's Inspiration is finding information on artists who, in many ways, have been long forgotten.
I think Jacks true calling was teaching and I say that not to take anything away from his illustration career. During his heyday he was a well known illustrator with big ad campaigns.
One thing I find interesting about his illustration work is that he worked from life as much as possible. As far as I know he never used a project. It was all models and drawing from reference photos (for the backgrounds).
i'm wondering if Potter's brush with the commercial world is what led him to be so irritated and almost allergic to decorative and superfluous surface gloss. his post career agenda was almost exclusively about finding the essence by cutting the fat.ReplyDelete
I bet it contributed to it but I think he had those beliefs for years.
His favorite artist, Carl Erickson, was a fashion illustrator who was all about elegance and simplicity of line. He was a big influence on Jack.
The diagram drawings in class, his push for simplicity, and limited "surface gloss" always reminded me of Alex Toth's late work.
Daniel, I assume that by the time a student was taking Jack Potter's class, he or she had solid traditional (accurate) drawing skills. I say that because, as you stated, he focused on shape, composition and the big picture.. but no mention of drawing skills. Carl Erickson, whom you mentioned Potter admired the most, couldn't have drawn those beautiful elegant illustrations without excellent draftsmanship skills. Were good drawing skills a prerequisite for his classes? And, did he ever comment on the work of his competitors, like Peak, Fuchs, English, Briggs, Parker, etc.?ReplyDelete
Fascinating TI week, Daniel.

Wow! Great post! Nicely placed images!I'm so glad you got a photo of him giving one of his famous critiques! They really where my favorite thing about SVA altogether. I LOVE that quote! "I want a full meal, not nibbly bits" HAHAHA, I can hear him saying it in my head.ReplyDelete
No prerequisites. Jacks class was a drawing class. Sure he focused on shape, composition and the big picture. That was the point.
Through that you learned, or at least I did, how to better compose images. And to interpret what you saw rather than copy it as accurate as possible.
Jack knew that his teaching wasn't for everyone but wanted his students to at least try it. He felt that it would help. Even if you didn't take his lessons to your own personal work he thought that you might be able to add something new by studying with him.
Jack talked about some of his competitors but not that much. I mentioned in a earlier post this week a bit about Bob Peak.
I remember talking to him about Robert Weaver another artist whom he liked (Weaver also taught at SVA). And Al Parker, someone who he said was an early influence. He used to clip his work but over time it didn't stick with him. The work didn't hold as much interested as it did in his early days as a student/beginning illustrator.
Let me add...
By interpret that doesn't mean we could go off and draw whatever we wanted. He still wanted us to make drawings that felt like the model (or object).
When I draw I often think of him telling me "Get the proportions!"
- Chad Sterling12:15 PM
So Potter was stressing the overall design of the picture and the drawing the means by which the pattern was assembled.ReplyDelete
I saw straight away the influence of Al Parker in his work and I see Peak more than Weaver as the next step in that continuum.Thanks for these posts, they've been very enlightening.
One final point, after committing to teaching did Jack move into fine art? Did he carry on painting? I can see why his course was so popular.
Thanks for the reply, Daniel. I taught foundations drawing at the Academy of Art in S.F. from 1995 until 2000, which was a newly formed department. The reason was that ADs were complaining that art schools were not producing students in general, that had good traditional drawing skills for communicating concepts and ideas. By that time, students had to learn quite a broad range of computer skills that dominated their courses and their time, but little drawing skills. Although, illustration majors.. fashion, story and advertising illustration, had to take basic drawing classes.ReplyDelete
Most art schools prior to the 1970s', gave students a solid academic grounding in drawing and painting, usually the first two or even three years, before taking the innovative, experimental or avant-garde classes. The idea was that once students learned to walk well, they were then able to run.. a building-block process characteristic of traditional learning methods in general.
It's kinda old school thinking on my part, and I'm not criticizing SVA or Potter's approach, but there was definitely a conflict of philosophies that started probably in the late 50s' when I was a student.
It has always made for an interesting discussion over the decades, and what I also find interesting is that in fine arts, the academic ateliers are making a big come-back, because more and more young art students want to learn to paint like the early masters.. before the big modern, abstract and Expressionism push. The thinking being that drawing and painting what we "feel" is instinctive, as it was when we were a child, but painting or drawing correctly what we see, has to be practiced and learned. Virtually all the French Impressionists were very well grounded in literal academic training, but certainly painted with innovation and feeling for their subjects.

I took Jack Potter's drawing class for 4 years at SVA, then another additional class after I graduated (night class I think). He was the best teacher I ever had. He was such a presence - he wasn't easy & probably scared off a few students I'm sure, but if you wanted to be better at drawing and were willing to learn - his class was the best place to be. No matter what you're level of drawing skills you had, if you were wiling to learn & persevere he would help you become a better artist, not an easy class to be sure, but well worth it. I will never forget him....ReplyDelete

One of the luckiest days of my life was when I was assigned Jack's class on my first day at VA. Simply the most inspirationally gifted person I have ever met. Love you Jack. (Need a ride home tonight?)ReplyDelete

The Viber team has revealed on Twitter that an update is well on the way for Windows Phone, which is speculated to bring VOIP support. The app is currently only enabling consumers to communicate with contacts via messages, leaving alternatives as solutions for VOIP. So when can we all expect to see said update delivered to Windows Phones? It's "coming very soon."
Take what you will from the statement made on Twitter. The team is not revealing much regarding an exact date of release.
@burny92 We do not yet have an exact release date - hang in there!— Viber (@Viber) March 6, 2013
We can't imagine the Viber team holding off for much longer, especially with competitor products further advancing on Windows Phone. The store listing also serves as a reminder for consumers of what's on the horizon:
"VOICE COMING SOON: We promise that as soon as the full version is ready, we will make it available so will be able to use Viber for Windows phone to also make free calls to any other Viber user, anywhere in the world."
Luckily, Viber users won't have to go through the same issues as those who are still waiting for Tango to sort their Windows Phone app out. You can download the current version of Viber Messenger from the Windows Phone Store.
C'mon, Viber. Let's change that message icon to a phone. Thanks, Dome85, for the heads up!

text: A few weeks back I hosted an Italian Vegetarian Girls Night Dinner. Each girl was assigned a dish, either appetizer or dessert, and I was in charge of the main course. I debated for a while about what I wanted to make then decided on a fall inspired sweet potato filled homemade ravioli with a basil brown butter sauce.

A couple of good pieces on why watering down the truth is such a bad idea. First Christopher Blosser, linking to the comments over at Fr. Z's blog, and the woeful instructions imparted to the faithful. Here are the sampling of comments that Chris highlighted:
"When I was in RCIA, back in the early 1980?s we were told that it is almost impossible to commit a mortal sin so not to worry."
"When I asked one of the RCIA instructors to tell us how to make a proper confession she blew me off."
"I was under the impression that Reconciliation was a one-time thing until the priests starting coming to school to offer it a few times."
"I thought in order to commit a mortal sin you had to do something really bad such as kill someone, have an abortion, or commit adultry."
"I actually heard a priest say in a homily that he never committed a mortal sin and that none of us probably hadn't either."
"I have had people who prepare young people for confirmation say that theydon't remember ever going to confession."
To which Chris asks the question, "In a parish where the idea of sin and absolution are passé, why be Catholic? what does it even matter?"
And over at POWIP, Enoch Root discusses his time as a Catechism Instructor for 7th and 8th graders:
The first year went well, as I mentioned some paragraphs above. So I was asked to sign up for another year of instructing. Again, no one wanted the 7th and 8th grade class. So, I thought about it. I agreed to teach the class once more. Sadly, my no-holds-barred approach to passing on the faith rubbed some parent(s) the wrong way. I am given to understand that my comment to the class that it would be very unlikely for everyone in the class to ultimately find ourselves among the Elect stunned and, yes, frightened a student. Further, I am given to understand that my suggestion that not every one of our beloved relations was likely to be among the Elect also was cause for concern. The fallout was immediate. And it did bring on a small crisis of faith for me. I was not very interested in defending my approach to teaching what we believe. I was not interested in heaping scandal on top of the deep hurt I felt. I was not interested in chastising the Powers That Be about the very real dangers of withholding the Truth from these kids… some of which were quite worldly to begin with. I was not interested in defending the Faith to ministers of the Faith… or taking them to task… or forcing them into a debate about whether or not I was teaching other-than-Dogma (which I was decidedly not doing). In short, I resigned to save all parties from what would have been a bloody affair… and potentially embarrassing I might add.
I was deeply offended. As I have said. And only now, several years later, am I able to clear my head enough to receive the Eucharist with a mended-heart. I will not lie: the sting of that wound remains. But my animus toward the players involved does not. God works in mysterious ways. And it was a truly humbling experience. Truth be told, I had been praying for God to help me become smaller. And He answered my prayers.
As I related in the comments, I've seen faith watered down. I've heard instructors tell potential Catechumens that they don't need to go to Confession, among other whoppers. And as someone who attended a Jesuit high school, well, let's say there were things about Catholicism that I didn't learn until later on.
I understand the desire to make faith seem less hard. You've got some young skulls full of mush, or perhaps adults just dipping their toes in the waters of Catholicism, and you don't want to scare them away. But all you are doing is depriving them of the truth, and in doing so you are actually putting their souls at risk. Either tell the truth, and the whole truth, or so help you God.

All presenting blood donors in January will receive a coupon for a free pound of Dunkin' Donuts coffee*
For the sixth year in a row, Dunkin' Donuts and the American Red Cross are teaming up for the "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" campaign, which provides a coupon for a free pound of Dunkin' Donuts coffee* to all presenting donors at Red Cross blood drives in the greater Buffalo area during the month of January.
The campaign is in celebration of National Blood Donor Month and helps increase awareness about the need for blood. The campaign has achieved great success during the past five years as Dunkin' Donuts has provided more than 435,000 pounds of coffee to presenting donors. If one donation may help save three lives, Dunkin Donuts has potentially helped more than 1.3 million patients. Donated blood is used to help accident victims, trauma patients, transplant recipients, and those receiving treatment for life-threatening illnesses.
Buffalo residents joined local Dunkin' Donuts franchisees and representatives from the Red Cross to launch this year's program on Thursday with a blood drive at Dunkin' Donuts on Sheridan Drive in Tonawanda. During the blood drive, Buffalo-area resident Jen Usiak, who is the mother of a blood recipient, spoke about her experience and the overall importance of donating blood through the American Red Cross.
"We have lived through an unprecedented economic downturn in the past six years, but the support of Dunkin' Donuts has remained steadfast in their desire to help patients in the communities they serve," said Donna M. Morrissey, director of communications for the American Red Cross Blood Services - Northeast Division. "We are incredibly appreciative of Dunkin' Donuts for its ongoing dedication to our lifesaving mission through the 'Give a Pint, Get a Pound' campaign, which helps the Red Cross raise awareness of the need for blood and continue to meet the daily needs of area hospital patients."
"Dunkin' Donuts is proud to partner with the American Red Cross once again to provide our coffee as a gift to those who give blood," said Alisa LaPlante, field marketing manager for Dunkin' Donuts. "We encourage all eligible blood donors to give blood and help those in need in our communities."
Dunkin' Donuts and the Red Cross are thanking donors who support the community blood supply by rolling up their sleeves to give the gift of life. Since January is National Blood Donor month, it is a good time to thank blood donors for their generosity and encourage individuals to donate blood or platelets and help save a life on a regular basis. In addition, participating local Dunkin' Donuts restaurants are hosting blood drives throughout the month to collect blood for hospital patients in need. To donate blood during the month of January, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org.
*Coupons are redeemable at participating Dunkin' Donuts locations. Coupons are non-transferrable and not redeemable for cash.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, visit redcross.org or join the blog at http://blog.redcross.org.
Founded in 1950, Dunkin' Donuts is America's favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods. Dunkin' Donuts is a market leader in the regular/decaf coffee, iced coffee, hot flavored coffee, donut, bagel and muffin categories. Dunkin' Donuts has earned the No. 1 ranking for customer loyalty in the coffee category by Brand Keys for six years running. For more information, visit www.DunkinDonuts.com.

Hot Shower is the 10th episode of Season 4 and the 75th episode of Code Lyoko.
The episode begins with a comet flying through space near Earth. In the lab, Jeremie is upgrading the Skid with a new program that would allow them to track a person's digital trace on the network. In the Skid are Odd, Ulrich and Aelita who are on recon to gather data. When Yumi's name is brought up, Jeremie says that he wishes he were with her.
It turns out that the entire ninth grade (which includes Yumi) are asked to help out with the building of a scale model of the solar system to celebrate Comet VG724's passage near earth, the fifth grade were building the model while the ninth grade calculated the orbits. Yumi is not happy to be doing this and is glad to know that she may not be paired with her brother when Johnny asks out loud if Hiroki and himself could be on Yumi's team.
In the lab, Jeremie watches a documentary on the Comet which explains the possible consequences if it ever hit Earth while in the network (which includes the end of all life on earth), the new program detects traces of digital DNA, and the team go on to investigate. Back at Kadic, Jim begins to hand out materials for the model while Mrs. Hertz handed out the planet assignments, Jim then tries to give a safety demonstration about the poles' sharp and pointed ends, but a girl then tells him you must be dumb not to tell one end from the other. It is revealed that Jim has a bandage on his hand showing he had cut himself on the pointed end.
Back at the lab, the Superscan suddenly lights up with an activated tower, Jeremie is agitated by this and asks what X.A.N.A. is planning now. In space, a satellite in line with Comet VG724 suddenly fires a laser at it and breaks a large chunk off of it and causing it to fly towards Earth. Jeremie alerts the team of the tower and Aelita begins to pilot the Skid back to Lyoko. At Kadic, the students are busy with their work (Hiroki and Johnny messing theirs up) when Yumi is told by Jeremie to head over to the factory as quickly as possible.
The news report then changes to say that a piece of the comet had broken from the main body and was now heading for Earth, the reporter apparently gets a call and tries to change her story and ends up blabbering stating it was an April fool's joke. Jeremie however sees it as trouble and uses his own search engine (KIWI search) to discover what is happening, he quickly discovers X.A.N.A.'s scheme and warns the team about the danger and that the trajectory of the comet was to strike the factory, he then states that he will remain in the lab to launch a return in time before the comet hits.
Yumi is in the park when Jeremie quickly calls her and updates the situation stating that the academy was in danger as well, Yumi then tells Jeremie that she had something to do first and despite Jeremie's protests, she heads back to the academy to warn everyone. In the Network, Aelita is heading back to Lyoko at full speed when suddenly the Skid is surrounded by a formation of rings that suddenly stops them in their tracks. Aelita reveals it to be a firewall sent by X.A.N.A. and tries to break out but to no avail, Jeremie then begins to hurriedly find a solution.
Yumi arrives back at Kadic and tries to warn Jim and Mrs Hertz about the comet striking the academy. They originally don't believe her but suddenly several small meteorites shoot down near the academy. Mrs. Hertz sees that its true and tells the principal that the academy must be evacuated. In the network, Aelita discovers that the firewall takes a small amount of extra time to change its direction so she uses a technique she calls "Rubber Band System" to reverse the Skid as far as it would go and then fire it forwards at full speed. It works, and the Skid is propelled out of the firewall and continues its way back to Lyoko. Jeremie realizes that they would never make it back in time and conjures up a plan to gain control of the satellite and attempt to change the course of the comet.
At the academy, the principal has authorized the evacuation of the academy and the students are filing out when another meteorite hits close by. Yumi is called by Jeremie who instructs her to go to his room, collect his laptop and then connect it to the schools antenna. Hiroki and Johnny, however, see her leave the group and follow her. Meanwhile, Aelita, Odd and Ulrich arrive back on Lyoko and pilot the Skid near the activated tower. Yumi meanwhile, is having trouble with the door that leads to the antenna when Hiroki and Johnny show up, they state that they can open the door, but she would have to tell them what's going on. She tells them about the satellite and when they claim it's a lie, a small meteor causes the building to shake, and the two boys agree to help, and to Yumi's amazement, they pick the lock.
On Lyoko, Odd, Ulrich and Aelita head for the tower where they are met by a pair of Tarantulas, a Kankrelat and William, causing them to take cover from a barrage of laser fire. Yumi gets to the antenna and Jeremie instructs her to cut the antenna cable wire and stick it into his laptop. When she asks how, Johnny gives her his penknife. Jeremie then begins to hack into the satellite, however, he is quickly stopped by X.A.N.A.. Ulrich and Odd continue to hold off the monsters when Aelita realizes that they haven't fired at her yet.
The group begin to lose hope, Yumi watches as a ball of fire is shown racing towards them from the sky, while Jeremie finds that he cannot complete the program as he was too late, and Odd, Ulrich and Aelita had been forced right to the edge of the plateau. Aelita then spreads her wings, and flies over Odd and Ulrich, and lands between them and the monsters, who stop firing immediately. William then begins to advance towards her, Aelita tells Odd to devirtualize her, which he does regretfully. William suddenly is infuriated and jumps into the Digital Sea.
In the Lab, Aelita states that to win, sometimes you have to know how to lose. At Kadic, Yumi holds Johnny and Hiroki close as the meteorite speeds towards them and a few seconds later, the satellite fires again and the meteor explodes, causing a shower of embers to fall on the school. Yumi phones Jeremie and states that it was a bull's eye, however, Jeremie tells her that it was XANA who had done it. On Lyoko, the Tarantula's depixalize and the tower deactivates itself. Aelita states that X.A.N.A. wanted to capture her more than he wanted to destroy Lyoko, and with her on earth, he couldn't really do either. Jeremie then launches a return to the past.
The group are all gathered in Jeremie's room, Yumi then arrives and tells them that they got the highest grade and that she had kept Johnny's moon (stating that she owed him that much). She then states that she is worried, when they ask why, she tells that she now knew it was useless keeping the door locked to her room and the episode closes.
- The original French name for this episode is Corps céleste.
- This episode shows that Kiwi has his own search engine.
- This episode contains an error when X.A.N.A. was forced to stop his attack: the meteors impact would have been large enough to both destroy the supercomputer and kill Aelita, especialy since she didn't leave the factory.

For something at the school level, I think that Haruka/Honoka's leadership style is probably ideal. This isn't about competing in a cutthroat industry, it's about inspiring people to get off their butts to try to save their school, and hopefully have some fun and good times in the process.
For something like Idolm@ster, Iori's personality might be well-suited for a leadership role, since it is partly about competing in a cutthroat industry.
With LL vs. Idolm@ster, I honestly prefer LL, because character roles are much more distinct and well-defined in LL, imo. I like how you have our core trio of friends, an idol nerd in Niko, a serious (and seriously cute!) musician in Maki, someone who has dreamed all her life of being an idol, that someone's genki girl friend, and the Student Council President and her mysterious Tarot Card-reading Veep.
Not everybody starts off at the same place (i.e. all already being idols), so each character stands out in her own way from the very beginning, and I like that.

What I like is LL doesn't slap you in the face with the overly excessive moe blob stuff that Kyoani is known for.

INB4 upcoming hate mail.
I'm also a fan of Haruhi and Clannad to go along with the irony of saying all that with my mesmerizing Mio gif.
(HOVA!!! That is all.)
In my opinion, the girls here are more charming.
One more day until we see what's going on with Eri. I can't wait for that!

Wait what were we talking about again?
I heard someone was talking something about hating moeblobs but... is that person currently have a very nice animated avatar of Mio???
"Then again, maybe Eri already fulfils some of these roles seeing how she has been pulling strings behind the scenes by uploading videos of their dances."
Hahaha. I said this a few pages back but no one really said anything so I thought I was wrong in thinking this.

Like i said, the irony. lol
< I keep this only because it's a sick pose that you wouldn't think a cute anime character would ever do.
There's a deeper meaning to if you just stare at it.
The cuteness of the character with a hardcore pose from a different musical genre opens a portal to the unknown.
The whole concept about it is amazing.
If it wasn't for that, I would have slapped a Lelouch avatar for all of eternity. Dat Geass Eye!
Back on topic, Eri is probably gonna be the one who gets them to the next level.

In any case, I am fairly sure that we will start seeing some competition from other schools. I think the girls performing on the big screen in the first episode will probably start evolving from μ's inspiration to becoming their rivals.

Suppose Maki was leader of the group. Maki being a relatively private, down-to-Earth, and serious-minded person would cause other group members to wonder what she's planning, and things might be a bit more lowkey but sharply focused. It would be similar to how Hisa runs her mahjong club in Saki, I think.

I didn't want to twist frivolity's post. It is interesting to hypothesize how thing would be if someone else was the spearman of group but no matter how many times I think about it I arrive to conlusion that Honoka is a primary reason why LL group the way hey are.
Responsibility pressure can change people. Compared to RRR I could imagine Maki morphing something close to Nico/Ritsuko in terms of leadership and we know how good it went. Feeling pressure even though selfimposed rather than demanded from a group she would put girls under rigorous training. Maybe Umi could be same. Crying in the corner and being hysteric everytime goes wrong or someone messes up. I also imagine Maki be somewhat stern and reject certain ideas simply because they embarrassingly chidish or silly.
I personally don't like such lax, laid-back, my pace leaders as Hisa. It requeires a huge amount of respect to subordinate. And if I feel the leash is getting weak I just climb on people's head simply cuz I'm allowed to.
Meek personalities won't be even on radar in terms of authority and it would lead to some free spirits go anarchy mode. I totally imagine Hanayo saying: "Let us practice today >.<" just to get:"Yeah, yeah in five more minutes."
I'm not saying that Honoka is the ONLY possible leader but other hypothetical reigns could be very shortlived.

About the whole leader thing, I think what they're trying to get at more is that Honoka is the type of leader that knows which member is good at what and allows them to shine. She pretty much takes the "gem" from everyone and actually put them on display and use. It works spectacularly for this group.
Anyway, I'm very curious about Eri and wonder what's she planning and... when she finally joins the group (YEAH!!). On another note, my goodness Nozomie's raep face is scary . Never knew she's the raeper of the group. Nico can no longer go "nico nico nico~" when she's around...

Baidu: Elite Triad Internals
Spotted on Baidu, here's what the inside of the upcoming Elite Triad looks like; I thought it might just be a single shot with two dart holders, but this does suggest it shoots from all three barrels? I could be wrong though, internals mean not a whole lot to me:P
Cheers J.B for the lead!

I wonder if they made the a/r stronger so you can only fire one dart at a time, and not have a bunch of air escape out of the other 2 barrels.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 18, 2012 at 3:16 PM
Looks like a 3 barrel jolt. Definitely all 3 fire. Barrels do not appear to rotate so it might fire all 3 at once. which would be a cool, hold-out shot gun effect.(though you have to wonder if shoot 3 at once would mean poor range with such a small blaster.)ReplyDelete
Hmm... Yup, looks like it shoots three at once-the only USEFUL Nerf shotgun other than the Ruff Cut, since the barrel break has a MINIMUM load time of several seconds.ReplyDelete

I wonder if every time another blog posted intel that UT posted first, Pocket went around posting such garbage posts as this. It's not about who did it first, it's about sharing to the community.Delete
We do actually reference/give credit to wherever we get the intel from- in this case, we received it from one of our regulars.Delete
Next time, shoot us over the link to your blog if you've got valuable intel- if it's something we can post, we'll happily reference it back as we've done with other blogs in the past. -P
Definitely 3 simultaneous shots, as there are 3 AR's visible. If the range isn't terrible, this could be a very useful little shotgun. Would be awesome to integrate into bigger blaster!ReplyDelete

Looks like a gray switch on the back of the grip... The video showed it firing from one barrel. Maybe they open each air chamber in sequence? Presumably with weaker force as the air power will be lessened when divided between two or three barrels?ReplyDelete

HA! I was RIGHT! :D (Just had to.)ReplyDelete
- SiberianphoenixNovember 22, 2012 at 8:24 PM
Anyone else notice that the plunger for this thing is massive? The air restrictors also look rather beefy. Just speculating but I'd wager that the oversized plunger and spring is so that there's enough power to fire all three barrels at once and achieve "Elite" ranges. To fire less then all three the air restrictors come into play to divert to the path of least resistance... aka the chamber that is open because it has a dart in it.ReplyDelete

evolutiontrainings needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Evolution Trainings
My name is Gary de Rodriguez, I am an international trainer of NLP (A form of psychology – google it if you need to know more than that). I am currently rebranding many of my trainings under the banner of 'Evolution Trainings'.
My target audience is literally anyone interested in improving their life, whatever gender, age, nationality, religion, or any other demographic category.
I am looking for a logo that is easily recognizable and can be reproduced with simple color variations.
I am open to all creativity and by all means disregard any of my suggestions if you think you can generate a logo that will blow me away.
That said, I am interested in exploring the use of a few particular elements:
* I like the concept of a simple globe (planet not light bulb) with 'negative' or 'implied' lines crisscrossing around it. See the uploaded example. Part of the globe needs to be able to have the color changed to allow for color variations of the logo.
* I would like to have the words 'Evolution Trainings' incorporated into the design.
* I would like to have my name 'Gary de Rodriguez' incorporated into the design.
All the rest is open for your creativity.
The files I require are:
Print file format - (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
I will have a high bias towards designs that can be delivered as vector based images.
Please do not use any clip art or cartoony looking images in the logo

Some of you asked me about these monthly drawings, did I made them? Wish I did, but no, I haven't, there is no hidden drawing talent inside of me. These lovely drawings are made by Lot van den Akker and printed in a calender with for each day a saying.
The calendar is hanging in my craftroom. One room where I didn't spend much time lately because of increased temperature on our top floor. I rather sat outside in the shade enjoying the pretty flowers.
I also managed to hand quilt and finish the binding on the crazy red and white mini quilt. I used cotton batting and I've washed and dried the quilt to give it the puckered, hand quilted look.
I love how this mini turned out. I also have a lot of blue fabric bits piled up so I might think of make a mini in blue and white!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

IKA News:
Update: Eligibility of kites built before 2012 for the 2013 kiteracing world championships
Following last weeks announcement that grandfathered equipment will not be eligible for racing at the 2013 kiteracing worlds in Hainan, China, the issue has been further discussed with the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
ISAF has advised, that for class continental and world championships the class rules cannot be changed through Racing Rule 87. ISAF has also confirmed that the current class rules must be strictly enforced.
The current class rules require that "production kites built before 2012 will be included on the relevant Production Equipment List". The fact, that the kites in question (namely Flysurfer Speed 3 and ELF kites) are not included in the registered equipment list (as required for eligibility under class rule B.1.1), make them currently ineligible for usage at the worlds.
ISAF has also confirmed that the grandfathering rule only applies to kites built before 2012. "Built" in this context means "manufactured, physically made" in contrary to "designed, modeled". (ISAF has publish an editorial amendment to the class rules already).
However, manufacturers are allowed to request that their kites built (manufactured) before 2012 are included on the registered equipment list, provided that the manufacturer can doubtlessly prove for any of such kite
a) the exact manufacturing date of each kite
b) that the kite is series production (a considerable amount of kites have been produced to exactly the same building specification)
c) that each of such kites is clearly identifiable at an event
Furthermore, sailors using such kites, still may be protested and subsequently required to prove to the International Jury at the event that the kite used is identical to one of the kites listed by the manufacturer (and accepted) as being built before 2012. If a sailor cannot provide acceptable proof on the event, the jury will have to disqualify the sailor for all races in which he used such a kite.
All manufacturers which want to have kites built (manufactured) before 2012 to be included on the relevant equipment list are requested to provide a list with kites covered by this grandfathering rule (individual kites, not models) and proof as required above to IKA. The IKA technical committee together with the International Jury appointed for the event and the ISAF technical staff will then examine the proof provided and take a decision on whether or not to include such kites on the list.
Sailors that intend to use kites that unquestionably have not been produced anymore after 2011 are requested to contact IKA directly to initiate inclusion and arrange with the affected manufacturers.

I'm guessing Dora the explorer !ReplyDelete
From the cartoon of the same name.
I never thought of it.
Prolly because I'm french and we call her "Dora l'exploratrice" which is feminine and doesn't fit as well.
The majority of them changed their names to "Dora" via Blizzard's customization when the achievements were revealed.ReplyDelete
I personally know three of them.
Sadly. =P
If there was a 'the builder' achievement for taking part in building the Argent Crusade colluseum, I would change my nam to Bob in a flash.ReplyDelete
When I saw this achievement, I thought of rolling a new toon, and naming her Dora, just so I could be Dora the Explorer.ReplyDelete
I had a friend that did a paid name change to dora just for the title.ReplyDelete
And it's not just Dora, because that's usually taken. You'll tend to see a lot of toons with Dora in their name. I have to wonder how many of them paid to do that, and how many just happened to have those names. Or how many people returned to playing old characters named Dora just for that achievement.ReplyDelete

I'm surprised Dora was still available on so many servers for people to change their name to. It seems that nearly every pronounceable combination of consonants and vowels has been taken on most servers, not even considering actual names like Dora.ReplyDelete
My Paladin is "Doralen", often called "Dora" in chat.ReplyDelete
And honestly... I'm seriously considering a name change AWAY from "Doralen the Explorer".
Amusingly enough, though, we had a Shaman on our server named "Doraexplorer" for a long time... wonder how he felt about the new titles? :)

DJ Controller for Virtual DJ LE
- Take Anywhere with USB Power & Plug-n-Play Connectivity
- Sleek, Stylish Ergonomic Design
- Included Virtual DJ LE software
- Pulse Control Provides Visual Prompts via Various Types of Illuminations Directly on the Unit
The DDJ-ERGO gives any music enthusiast the ability to make their own unique music mixes. Bundled with the Virtual DJ Limited Edition software by Atomix Productions, the DDJ-ERGO controller enables consumers to be creative with their music collection as soon as they take the unit out of the box. The new controller also incorporates MIDI functionality, making it possible to be used with other MIDI compatible DJ software.
The stylish controller is designed using contoured edges with black, white and gradient colors and a large 115 mm platter for increased operability. The system also features "Pulse Control" that illuminates various areas of the controller to assist in the mixing process.
Creative Features of DDJ-ERGO
- Pulse Control – The integrated Pulse Control of the DDJ-ERGO provides users with visual prompts via various types of illuminations on its buttons and platters. The controller utilizes a new "Pure Platter" jog wheel that helps guide the user during performance with the movement of lights in accordance with the pitch, beat, and effects of the music as well as when a song is being loaded.
- Mix Pulse – The mix pulse mode shows the difference in pitch of songs currently playing through the light of the jog wheel. As the pitch of songs begin to match, the intensity of the light increases. In conjunction with the music, the pulse of lights increases beat matching skills.
- Beat Pulse – The embedded LEDs in the channel faders illuminate along with the beat of the current song playing. The illumination intensifies and weakens based on the output sound level.
- Launch Pulse – Triggers a red light to illuminate on the jog wheel to signify a press of the track load button.
- FX Pulse – The effect being applied to the currently playing song will be represented not only audibly but also via the light movements on the Jog wheel.
- Laptop Dock Design – Like Pioneer's other DDJ controllers, the DDJ-ERGO is designed to accommodate the placement of a laptop computer below the unit to help save room and bring the screen closer to the user. The controller also features removable legs, enabling it be used in angled or horizontal positions.
- DJ Software – The DDJ-ERGO includes a copy of the "Virtual DJ LE" software by Atomix Productions that offers a broad range of functions for mixing songs, such as making loops, adding effects and creating samples, as well as the ability to mix up to 4-channels and even perform video playback.
- MIDI Compatibility – The DDJ-ERGO is compatible with Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), allowing up to four-deck control and use of the controller's dedicated sampler button. The unit is also compatible with various MIDI compatible DJ software such as Native Instruments' TRAKTOR (not included).
- USB Power – The DDJ-ERGO utilizes power from USB connections found on most computers, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
- High Quality Audio – The unit employs the same audio technology used in Pioneer's professional DJ mixers for clear, powerful audio output.
- Other features
- Employs a P-LOCK Fader Cap locking mechanism to prevent the channel fader knobs and crossfader knob from slipping.
- Built-in audio interface for high quality sound input and output.

Yup! It wasn't always that bad. But, I guess that's "progress".
For a very long time I didn't post much here, whenever I tried, I had to re-log in every time, then I had to re log-in when reading posts, from thread to thread. It was ridiculous, now that doesn't seem to be the case. So I would "lurk" and read the posts, after a while I stopped coming here. Then I would 'pop in' from time to time, and it got very slow. Where did everyone go? Where's Texan? Randiliana and so many of the others?
Anyhow, It seems here, that people have a thicker skin.
I saw Randiliana today, Mankota Stockmen's weigh Company celebrated 60 years of business today. She works there when they have auctions, My Dad bought cattle there for the first 50 years of operations. Today was his 95 birthday so I took him over for Cake Coffee and a visit with some old friends.

Adobe's CTO, Kevin Lynch, is leaving the Photoshop and Flash maker to join Apple. CNBC's Jon Fortt got the statement from Adobe:
Kevin Lynch, Adobe CTO, is leaving the company effective March 22 to take a position at Apple. We will not be replacing the CTO position; responsibility for technology development lies with our business unit heads under the leadership of Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen. Bryan Lamkin, who has recently returned to Adobe, will assume responsibilities for cross company research and technology initiatives as well as Corporate Development. We wish Kevin well in this new chapter of his career.
No mention of what Lynch's role would be at Apple. Given Adobe's recent focus on software-as-a-service with Creative Cloud, perhaps online in Eddy Cue's division would be an obvious place. Apple tends to subsidize software costs with hardware, however, so the subscription part could likely be much less important than the cloud part.
More if/when Apple or Lynch comments, or his new role leaks. In the meantime, speculate away!
Update 1: CNBC has updated their story, and reports that Lynch's title at Apple will be VP of Technology, reporting to Bob Mansfield, SVP of Technology. Mansfield runs the hardware guts at Apple, including chipsets, which, if accurate, seems like an odd place for a software guy like Lynch.
Update 2: According to AllThingsD, Lynch will be coordinating between the software and hardware teams.

Cottonseed companies' drought relief programs put more high-tech varieties on Southwest fields.
"Growers think it's a great deal," says Randy Boman, Texas Extension cotton specialist at the Texas A&M Research and Extension center at Lubbock. "Some areas (of the Cotton Belt) don't have this program and it is a real advantage in a high risk environment. It's part of a grower's risk management plan."
Boman said Monsanto's drought relief program "put more traits on dryland acreage. It gives producers an incentive to plant newer varieties with new technology."
He said Monsanto offers the trait refund program and various seed companies create programs that refund some seed costs to farmers in case of losses. The programs available for 2007 from cottonseed companies serving the Southwest are outlined below. In most if not all cases, individual seed companies indicate that growers will be responsible for payment of technology fees associated with the free seed received. The company owning the specific traits may cover those fees.
Monsanto will offer a drought-relief program for the 2007 growing season for cotton producers in West Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico.
Qualifying cotton producers are eligible to receive cotton technology refunds for crop loss due to severe drought conditions on acres planted with cotton varieties containing Monsanto cotton traits. As with the 2006 Drought Relief Program, a 100 percent refund of the published cotton technology fee will be provided to participating growers who either lose their cotton crop completely or have yields less than 150 pounds of lint per land acre. Eligibility requirements and certain restrictions apply.
Qualifying traits include Bollgard, Bollgard II, Roundup Ready cotton and Roundup Ready Flex cotton. Trait Drought-Relief Program benefits are included as part of the Roundup Rewards Program. Growers can obtain more information from seed retailers.
Delta and Pine Land
The D&PL replant program in the Southwest provides replacement seed when replanting to cotton behind a field originally planted with D&PL-brand seed. The program reduces a cotton farmer's financial risk by reducing the cost of replanting.
A farmer would make a normal purchase of the D&PL-brand seed to be used for replanting purposes. D&PL issues credit for the D&PL-brand seed units originally used to plant the replanted acres.
A farmer's net seed expense is limited to replant units since credit is issued for originally planted units. D&PL notifies farmers by mail when the credit is issued.
Farmers should contact seed supplier or local D&PL representative for complete program details.
FiberMax and AFD Cotton Seed
Bayer CropScience has announced the 2007 Shared Risk Programs for FiberMax and AFD cottonseed varieties for West Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Replant and Crop Destruct Program will cover 100 percent of the grower-suggested price for the first replant of FiberMax and AFD cottonseed varieties, including those carrying the LibertyLink technology. The program also allows for reapplications of Temik insecticide/nematicide, AERIS Seed-Applied System or Gaucho Grande seed-applied insecticide in replant situations.
In addition, the 150-pound Drought Program will provide refunds when the qualifying varieties yield less than 150 pounds of lint per land acre. FiberMax and AFD varieties with stacked Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex, LibertyLink/Bollgard II and Roundup Ready Flex will be eligible for a $50 per bag refund. FiberMax and AFD varieties with LibertyLink, Roundup Ready, Bollgard II/Roundup Ready, Bollgard and Bollgard II will be eligible for a $40 per bag refund.
In addition, FiberMax and AFD varieties with the LibertyLink Cotton System will be eligible for reimbursements for the technology costs of seed and Ignite 280 herbicide applications in crop destruction situations. The end date for this crop-destruct program is Aug. 31, 2007.
For refund information on Monsanto technology fees, growers should contact Monsanto for information regarding the 2007 Roundup Rewards Program.
Americot offers a Drought Relief program for cotton grown in West Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and New Mexico (seed drop zone E) for the 2007 growing season.
This program will support growers' decisions to plant high quality, seed company-produced cottonseed containing advanced technologies and will aid in reducing financial risk from crop loss due to drought when choosing Americot B2RF, RF, and RR varieties.
In the event of drought, growers who lose the crop or produce yields less than 150 pounds per acre qualify for the program.
Refunds include $45 for Americot B2RF and RF cottons and $35 for Americot RR cottons.
The Drought Relief Program applies only to crop losses and/or specified yield reductions incurred due to drought conditions. Losses or yield reductions due to other conditions or perils such as diseases, pests, hail, etc., are not eligible.
Farmers seeking a replant refund should contact Americot before tilling or replanting any fields associated with the replant refund request. On-site verification and documentation by an Americot representative must be completed before replanting to be eligible. Following verification, Americot will credit the farmer's seed supplier. Credit will not exceed the quantity used to plant the failed or lost stand and will be only for units necessary to replant.
If the original planted variety is not available the producer must select another Americot variety to remain eligible for the replant refund.
For details on the Cotton Technologies Drought Relief Program refer to Monsanto's 2007 Roundup Rewards Brochure.
All-Tex Seed
Levelland Delinting Inc., (All-Tex Seed) will provide 100 percent All-Tex brand cottonseed to farmers who replant a failed or lost stand of All-Tex-brand cotton with All-Tex-brand cottonseed. This program is in effect on all All-Tex cottonseed varieties except conventional seed, for the 2007 planting season.
Farmers seeking a replant refund should contact local dealers or All-Tex Seed before tilling or replanting any fields associated with a replant refund request. On-site verification may apply before a replant is issued. All replant claim forms must be filled out and returned to All-Tex Seed by July 15, 2007.
Upon approval of any replant claim a check will be mailed to the dealer where the seed was originally purchased. Seed may not exceed quantity used to plant the failed or lost stand.
If the variety planted originally is not available, another All-Tex-brand variety must be substituted, not to exceed the original value of first planting.
Recipients of free replant seed under the terms of this program are responsible for any and all technology fees associated with the free seed received.
Claims must be submitted to All-Tex Seed no later than July 15, 2007. Program will be discontinued thereafter.
All-Tex also offers a dryland Drought Relief program for cotton grown in West Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and New Mexico (seed drop zone E) for All-Tex B2RF, RR Varieties.
In the event of a dryland drought, a grower whose cotton crop is lost or yields less than 150 pounds of lint per planted acre will qualify. Refunds are: 50 percent of suggested retail price refunded for All-Tex B2RF cottons; 100 percent of All-Tex RR seed will be refunded in seed only. A voucher will be supplied to the dealer who sold the original seed. Seed will be delivered to the same dealer in the farmer's name in April 2008.
The Dryland Drought Relief Program applies only to crop losses and/or specified yield reductions incurred due to drought conditions. Losses or yield reductions due to other conditions or perils such as diseases, pests, hail, wind, etc., are not eligible for this offer.
Stoneville and NexGen cottonseed brands will offer a Drought Relief Program for growers in west Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Growers planting these cottonseed brands will be eligible to receive seed cost refunds when a crop loss is experienced due to severe drought conditions.
A refund of 50 percent of the suggested retail cost of the cottonseed will be given if the Stoneville or NexGen cotton crop is lost or yields less than 150 pounds of lint per land acre due to drought.
The Drought Relief Program is part of a continued effort by brands such as NexGen and Stoneville to work with cotton producers in managing some of the risks associated with crop production.
Growers should see their local cottonseed dealer or Stoneville/NexGen representative for program details, eligibility, offer conditions and the claims process.
Croplan Genetics
Croplan Genetics, a division of Land O'Lakes Inc., is offering a Drought Assistance Program to help reduce financial risks from drought-related crop loss. Growers who plant Croplan Genetics cottonseed varieties will qualify for 50 percent assistance for the cost of the seed (through Croplan Genetics) and 100 percent assistance for the Monsanto Technology Fee (through a Trait Drought Relief Program by Monsanto).
Any grower planting the following Croplan Genetics varieties — CG 3020B2RF, CG 3520B2RF or CG 4020B2RF in 2007 — and who experiences a crop loss or yield of less than 150 pounds of lint per land acre due to drought and who files a claim with Croplan Genetics by Jan. 15, 2008, with a federal crop insurance claim for the loss is eligible for 50 percent reimbursement of the retail price of the seed.
If the same field planted meets the Roundup Rewards requirements and the grower experiences a crop loss or does not yield up to 150 pounds of lint per land acre due to drought and who files a claim with Monsanto by Jan. 15, 2008, with a federal crop insurance claim for the loss, he is eligible for 100 percent refund of the published cotton technology fee.
The offer is valid for only the 2007 crop year. The technology fee benefits are part of the Roundup Rewards Program offered by Monsanto. Custom seed treatments are not included. Drought assistance/relief claims must be submitted to Croplan Genetics and Monsanto by Jan. 15, 2008, when the program ends.
Drought assistance/relief units are not eligible for Action Pact or other program payments. Payment is contingent upon approved claim and corresponding sales reported for the farm.
Croplan Genetics and Monsanto reserve the right to audit dealer sales and grower claims.
Losses or reductions due to conditions or perils such as diseases, pests hail, etc., are not eligible. The grower must provide proof of Federal Crop Insurance Claim of an estimated yield less than 150 pounds of lint per acre under the Multiple Peril Crop Insurance coverage for affected areas. Total eligible acres equal the grower's reported acres of cotton for the USDA or Federal Crop Insurance.
To make a drought assistance claim growers must contact the local Agriliance retailer or Land O'Lakes affiliated member co-op to verify acres lost to drought. The retailer or co-op must contact the local Monsanto sales representative Croplan Genetics district sales manager for complete details on claim procedures.
The retailer/co-op, Monsanto sales representative and/or the Croplan Genetics district sales manager will investigate and confirm the crop claim.
Settlement for seed will be by check made out in the name of the dealer and grower and mailed to the grower. Payment will be at 50 percent retail cost.

NEXT11 is History – a Big Thank You!
We're done. The show is over, and my small core team and me had an awesome time last night at our after-show party in a small karaoke bar which also happens to be an indonesian bistro. That was a super exclusive event, just the six of us. Sorry to everyone who had liked to join us - it was completely spontaneous, unplanned and happened to us without warning.
In the spirit of Data Love, I'd like to share some fresh data about the event: 1651 people registered, that's almost 300 more than last year. 155 speakers, that means every tenth participant was a speaker.
People came from 16 countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Slovenia, Bulgaria, USA and of course Germany. That's nothing compared to the Eurovision Song Contest, but I think there are some countries missing in this list, e.g. Japan where Oliver Reichenstein happens to live and work. We'll check the numbers and update them later.
According to Twingly, the overall number of tweets containing the "next11" keyword was more than 11,000, with almost 9,000 of them during the time of the conference and more than 3,000 different users tweeting about NEXT11. Awesome. More data can be found in this post. The potential reach of tweets on the first day of NEXT11 according to Buzzrank was a whopping 5,314,233. Wow!
We had 185 matches on the digital foosball table at NEXT11 and 140 players who played for a total time of 14 hours and 40 minutes (and the latest numbers might even be higher, need to update this as well).
The number of devices connected to the Wifi amounted to 1,400 or approx. one device per participant, which is a considerably lower number than at other industry events. The amount of data transferred through the Wifi was 104 GB.
And last but not least: The number of tweets @BenaRoberts who suffers from metaplastic breast cancer was 224, thus setting a new world record!
A big thank you to all the curators, moderators, and speakers, the 40 sponsors who supported the event and of course every participant. And finally to our partner STATION-Berlin, the great venue of NEXT11.
Looking forward to NEXT12!

Internet Ancient History Sourcebook
The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook has expanded greatly
since its creation, and now contains hundred of local files as well as links to source
texts throughout the net.
The Ancient History Sourcebook works as follows:

In addition to the above structure, there are a series of pages to help teacher and
Subjects covered by the source texts in each Section.
Studying Ancient History
The Ancient Near East
Greek Civilizations
The Hellenistic World
The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook is a companion to the Internet Medieval Sourcebook and the Internet Modern
History Sourcebook. The Medieval Sourcebook is
both a classroom resource and the largest collection of online medieval texts. The Ancient
and Modern Sourcebooks have a different role: since there are
already ample online repositories of texts for these periods, the goal here is to provide
and organize texts for use in classroom situations. Links to the larger online collections
are provided for those who want to explore further. The distinctive feature of the Sourcebooks'
layout remains here - the avoidance of images and multiple "clicking" to find
texts. Unlike the Medieval and Modern History Sourcebooks, this
section of the project did not involve much scanning of new material to begin with. At
this stage, however, an increasing number of new etexts are available at this site. The Ancient
History Sourcebook also includes links to visual and aural material, since
art and archeology are far more important for the periods in question than for later
history. The emphasis remains on access to primary source texts for educational purposes.
This site focuses on online texts, which, for the most part, means public domain texts
translated more than 75 years ago. In many cases it is these older translations which are
used in commercially available sourcebooks. But note that, for classroom
use, in some cases the more modern translations are superior from a pedagogic
viewpoint: this is less the case with historiography than with literature. In
other words, use online resources well, but don't get carried away!
Note: Although I am more than happy to receive notes if you have
comments on this web site, I cannot answer specific research enquiries [and - for students
- I cannot, or rather will not, do your homework!] If you have have relevant
e-texts or
translations to contribute, please do contact me.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 53 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
FDP (Fighter Developement Program)
FDP (Fighters Development Program) is an integrated team of professional specialists in overlapping and complimentary fields: we possess skills in sports injury and back pain rehab, athletic movement, strength & conditioning and mental performance. We have come together to create the future of athletic training specifically focusing on assisting combat athletes to perform to the best of their ability.
The audience we are aiming for are professional, amateur and recreational combat athletes between the ages of 17-45. We also planning to connect and relate to coaches and trainers either in the process or looking in the near future to connect and train athletes at a high level.
Sponsors of fighters, governing bodies and parents with disposable income available to invest into performance growth also need to be related to.
We are after a simplistic eye catching logo with our company name with the ability to use the logo separately in situations where our name is too long to apply. We would like the logo to convey professionalism and excellence as we are the first unit of our kind and plan to create seminars and workshops international in the very near future.
We at the moment have no preference with regards to colours although that may change as we start viewing submissions.
Please bear in mind as well as our websites, Facebook and other branding vehicles we will have the logo on clothing of our sponsored athletes i.e Boxers shorts, Judo kimonos, walk out shirts, fighters banners etc and on a clothing range including hoodies and t-shirts.
Please find below a link to all of our individual websites and attached a script to a video we recently shot for our website, this we give you an in depth feel of what we are about and what we wish to achieve with the FDP.
Thank you!!
