Nike hired me to do some shoe and sneaker designs.
Not Nike the shoe factory if you thought that first,
my second neighbor's name is Nike.
i have been looking for that thanks button :b anyways yeah i mean as long as you are practicing and producing work the actual subject doesn't matter to much, especially if its personal work. nice updates!
howdy. I spy a light wall eye issue. They both eyes are not looking at the same thing, if they were it would be much stronger. Keep drawing, Tata for now~

Haha, those shoe concepts would make some awesome Nike shoes though!
Nice stuff as always, although I feel like you lost some of the life from the initial sketch
in your last rendered portrait... some wrinkles (between the eyes for example) might help,
she's not trying to look pretty after all!
Wish you a nice week!
yeah, the NIKE concepts are interesting. How about throwing some values on em? The last study is intersting. Nice use of red.
But only very loosly based on the reference, aye?

i like how she didn't shave and camel toe LOL
damn you are really getting better. I know you have it in you to get really careful and stuff with your lines, because I look at the genitals you draw and they are super detailed and delicately so. Put that much care into the rest of the drawing and you will really start taking off. Really look at the shape of lips or eyes and torso, instead of just rushing through them. Think of the whole body as this massive erogenous zone instead of just locate din the genitals. art...is...sexy...
btw thanks for the comments in my sketchbook they are really awesome. I would love to see a graphic novel by you someday since you're such a great writer.
One more tip, since I think you're jumping straight into curves - get the angle right first - paying attention to the correct angle on each little turn of the outline of the body, and then throw in the curves. The angle is the hard part, smooth curves are simple.

Izi bows before the superior intellect of Velocity and he has a pretty neat sketchbook
Great updates, your gestures are very cool (kicking the guys head off!) and I loved the masks. I agree, I would like to see a graphic novel from you. And happy 69 ;-) .
Wingal; I still need to practice a lot and repair the eye issue,
its still hard for me to draw or paint almost same eye pair,
thank you for this,
Lyraina; Thank you, I will do more concepts for Nike.
He should be pleased with the outcome. The last portrait
is my rotten try to look good. But she is hot in my eyes,
I mean the real her. Thank you for returning my faith.
I wish you a nice week too.
bbwolf; Maybe I will paint some of those shoes, so
Nike should accept it a bit easier. The last painting is
not referenced from that screenshot, its from another
screenshot, but either way it looks a bit rotten, I have
to work and train more, thank you for your input.
Izi; you are like sunlight in my world, and I like
when you write about camel toes, it makes my heart
go warm around its perimeter. She didnt shaved, and I think
that Milla does not like to shave very much, so when she is
making movies, she got all wet and sweaty down there. I will
try to listen and learn from your advices, your help means gold
to me, thank you for everything.
forestdino; a graphic novel maybe one day, maybe one day,
who knows. Thank you for coming here and giving me more
motivation and reason to do and draw more. Take care and be
good, and yes we should celebrate the magical 69.
Nice one about mila
Also thanks for your kind words at my sb. Do another freaky comic will ya =D
Keep it up man !

motivation and sexual thoughts, I will I can I want,
thank you for boosting the moral and my subconscious power
Why did my rendering quality dropped,
I am out of shape, alien is ready to hatch out from
your chest area, oh its so original, but I am not so original,

Don't forget that whenever you think you're progressing backwards, you are standing right before a breakthrough.
(Sorry, don't know where I got this one from anymore)
Those turrets are pretty cool, dangerous..
Hmmmm Chucky or the big nosed dude.............
I do think that due to chuckys resiliance and sneaky nature and Pinochios natural sweetness there is no contest.
Chucky would carve him into new and interesting sex toys for Mrs chucky and she would sit on him screaming lie to me boy lie to me, then screaming with delight and splinters!
yes chucky would triumph without a doubt, leaving pinochio beyond repair mentally and physically.
Good solid update by the way mate, the space mechanic has some really good gesture about him, nice one.
all the very best to you matey keep your nibs clean and your beer cold and the world is yours to command!

Lyraina I like that chart, and I honestly hope that you are right,
me improving but not seeing it. Let's improve together. I will buy you
a bunch of flowers when we meet.
Graham you made my day with that story, you are very good with writing
"then screaming with delight and splinters" , HahaHa, I have to draw some
of those scenes. I think Pinocchio is well endowed.
So it goes Chucky 1 :
Pinocchio 0
Anyway, that sword is very very simple indeed. I suggest working on the lines of it first before rendering. Make it more killer-like.

Sound Check: Jason Bonham takes heritage to the stage with Led Zep Experience WITH VIDEO
Led Zeppelin's "Celebration Day" CD and DVD — which comes out this week — is fortuitous on a couple of fronts for Jason Bonham.
For starters it documents the group's 2007 reunion show in London, where Bonham sat in for his late father and original Led Zep drummer John Bonham. "It's the best gig I ever did in my life," notes Bonham, 46, who also played with Zep at the 1988 Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert in New York. "It's a huge honor to have Led Zeppelin release a product with me on it. There's never been anything out officially, using the name Led Zeppelin, that didn't have John Bonham on it.
"So for me, that is, wow, the dream I had as a kid. After dad passed away (in 1980), I went, 'Oh, I'll be up there as well. I want to carry on the tradition.' And if there's any way of saying you carried on the tradition, there it is — you ended up playing with your father's band some 30-something years later."
The drummer, who's also been with Foreigner and is part of the all-star group Black Country Communion, also hopes "Celebration Day" will shine a little more light on Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, a multimedia tribute show that combines the group's music, played by Bonham's own band, with rarely seen footage and photos with Bonham's commentary.
"I'm not trying to be Led Zeppelin," he explains. "I don't go out there to try and say, 'This is as close as you're gonna get to the real thing, and you should be happy' — no. There's still an amount of people out there who would probably go, 'Well, it's not the same without John Bonham on the drums — and I would agree.
"But see the film, and then afterwards if I'm playing near you, I think you would be more appreciative of coming to see me after you've seen me play with 'the real thing,' if you know what I mean."
Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience performs Monday, Nov. 19, at the Royal Oak Music Theatre, 318 W. Fourth St. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 general admission, $155 VIP reserved. Call 248-399-2980 or visit www.royaloakmusictheatre.com.

Holiday spending projected to rise: American consumers could spend $586.1 billion
By Andrew Snyder,
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 2:03 PM CST
American shoppers are projected to spend up to $586.1 billion on gifts, decorations and additional holiday items this year, according to a survey conducted by the National Retail Federation – the world's largest retail trade association.
The organization estimates that the average consumer will spend $749.51 this year and that up to 147 million people will shop either online or at stores during the three-day weekend following Thanksgiving. Holiday sales are expected to increase by four percent, with the largest portion of sales (56 percent) going toward gifts for family members. The next highest spending category is food (13 percent) according to the survey, which polled 8.899 people.
"We've seen this pattern of cautious optimism all year and despite the challenges that still exist in our economy, it looks as if consumers are eager to celebrate with friends and family," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay in a company release. "As the most promotional time of the year, retailers will continue to look for ways to stand out, specifically with attractive deals on toys, electronics and apparel, even well before the 'official' start of the holiday shopping season – Black Friday and Cyber Monday."
, a division of the NRF, projects online sales will grow 12 percent compared to last holiday season and reach as much as $96 billion. That increase continues a trend that saw e-commerce totals rise 15 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. More than half of consumers are expected to shop online at some point this year.

"Don't buy Bryant!"
I've had two Bryants with two new houses (because that's what the new construction came with), and both A/C units crapped out. The 'made-in- Mexico' evaporator coil leaked after 6 years, of course after the 5 year warranty expired. That's a $2000 repair with the R22 freon. My 1st Bryant dumped after 2 years. What a bunch of junk! I'll never ever own another Bryant, they're cheap cheap cheap. Buy something else other than Bryant.

"Bryant is Junk"
Put a new unit three years ago, first year unit didn't work. Had too many service calls to count. They got it working at the end of the season. Next year the a/c didn't work, they had to replace the outside unit. Here it is the third year, it is not working at this TIME. Paid 4K three years later still having problems. I'm replacing with a Carrier, tired of all the problems, will never buy a Bryant AGAIN. Doesn't seem right that someone can take 4K of your money and all you get is screwed.

"Never again"
I had a new fv4bnf003 Heat Pump top of the line installed March 2004.Since then I have had 4 compressors failed, and now the inside evaporator cooling coil has a leak. The unit I replaced when I bought the house was a Lenox that was almost 25 years old and still working fine. This Bryant has broken down every year except for the last 2 years. Now the inside unit is bad...$2000 to replace the cooling coil.

"Compressor Problems"
I think these units are defective. I installed three new units in my new custom home in 2005 & presently one compressor is broken and has been for almost two months - trying to resolve issue with Bryant. Anyway, the compressor has gone out on all three units - two of the units two times in addition to numerous other problems. I have spent $10,000 on repairs over 7 years - I am pursuing legal action because I think the units were defective when they installed them. These were supposed to be top of the line units. Further, the company has been difficult to work with. to deal with. I would not recommend their products to anyone. Personally, I think they should have recalled these units & think a class action lawsuit might get their attention.

"Would not buy Bryant again"
System installed in custom built new construction. After two years of use (maybe 4 months each year), experienced a coolant leak in the condenser. Parts covered by warranty, but labor was $1,600. Was told it was very unusual. Two days later saw the vendor's truck at a neighbor's one year old house. Same problem. I will never buy another Bryant product nor will I use the local distributor again.

Most people who are on here complaining don't know anything about ac units. bryant units are totally assembled in the United States and most parts are made here as well. Some coils have been imported from Mexico but that is mostly on there lower line equipment. Most of there coils are made in Indiana at the factory. There compressor are mostly Copeland which is made in the United States. Like most all products you find they do have an occasional problem. Most of the problems you would encouter are from poor installations.

"Bryant evolution"
Installed my bryant system in 2007, 5 years later my compressor and wire harness must be replaced. The cost to me for parts and labor is $3,095.81. My dealer serviced this unit every year and told me it was fine, and then out of no where it burnt up. While the compressor is still under warranty, my dealer has no explanation why this happened and that's the best they can do. Do not buy this bryant a/c product. I only use it 4 months out of a year!!!

"Worst decision ever"
I have 19 year old home with 4,092 Sq Ft. The old a/c system went out after 15 years. no major problems. It was just old and leaked and needed repairs every year. My a/c guy sold us 2 split system Bryant 598b Evolution a/c systems installed in 2008. Cost $7,000ea installed. Total of $14,000 After 4 pleasant years of very efficient usage, the downstairs condenser in the attic began leaking so we bought a new condenser. $1,800 installed. why was this not under warranty? Yesterday the upstairs compressor unit locked up with no warning. Estimate $3,950 for whole new unit or $1,500 for compressor replacement (labor only if Warranty kicks in for parts). Wtf?? This system should run for at least 10 years with no trouble. I may sue for damages. Bryant products are crap! I will never buy another Bryant product. ever!!!!

"Terrible Product with Terrible Support"
I purchased my Bryant Unit in 2005 to replace an ancient ac unit that was no longer working. This year (2012) after my apartment being unable to get below 80 degrees I've been told that my compressor is bad and needs to be replaced. Bryant has a 10 year warranty policy if you register the unit. However, they did not allow you to register units until after 2007. I was told therefore that there is simply no warranty period. When I asked if they expected me to ever buy another Bryant product given that this one died so quickly I was told that is up to me, but they will not honor a warranty period (in a borderline rude delivery). My neighbor still has the ancient unit and it runs great. Unless Bryant somehow resolves this issue, I will never recommend their product.

Bought ac in June of 2004. Had to put new motor in it last June 2011 and it died on us again a few days ago July 2012, waiting for a serviceman at this moment. Would never buy another Bryant.

I walk my two dogs nearly every morning. They are a pit bull and a border collie so they need to be walked or they'll drive me crazy.
Family Life
Family is extremely important to me. I'm the second oldest of seven children and my husband is the middle child of three children. If I'm out of town for any reason, it's because we're seeing family.
I'm married to Henry Ryan Street, a Coastguardsman. He works downtown Charleston.

Speculation continues to swirl around the potential involvement of violent video games in Adam Lanza's rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December. The official investigation has yet to release its report, but consistent accounts indicate Lanza was an enthusiastic player of violent games.
On Monday, CBS News raised eyebrows with a report citing unnamed law enforcement sources conjecturing that Lanza was motivated in part by violent video games as well as Norway shooter Anders Breivik. The investigating Connecticut police later said that's "all speculation."
According to the Hartford Courant, we know that when the police searched Lanza's home after the shooting, they found thousands of dollars' worth of violent video games. We also know that Lanza's mom let him play games while she traveled.
But just because violent video games seemed to have been a part of Lanza's life, as with many young men, we cannot jump to conclusions.
The reality is that there is no evidence linking violent games to mass shootings. We tend to return to this particular element, and it's interesting to see how quickly people like to latch on to this noncorrelation as if it were truly meaningful. The notion that mass homicides are linked to violent media was debunked as far back as 2002 by the U.S. Secret Service, which found that school shooters didn't consume high levels of violent media.
But as a society we tend to focus on video games because it's easy to do so. For example, in the recent case of Nehemiah Griego, a 15-year-old boy accused of killing his family in New Mexico, the police seemed to have been obsessed with violent games during a press conference. The police representative shifted a reporter's question about illegal drugs to video games, the gist of which seemed to be that the boy enjoyed talking about "Modern Warfare." However, other reports suggested the boy's access to violent games or television had been restricted by his family.
In the weeks since the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre, there have been a host of high-profile crimes committed by older men. William Spengler, 62, shot and killed two firefighters and apparently killed his sister in New York. Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, killed a bus driver and kidnapped a 5-year-old boy in Alabama. And Douglas Harmon, 70, killed two people at a Phoenix law office, police said. These older men don't fit the profile of video game players, yet they all did something horrible.
Curiously, no one seems interested in investigating the effects of media popular among the elderly. Our attention to video games in the cases of some shootings but not others is what psychologists call confirmation bias, and it creates the illusion of a correlation where there is none.
It's worth asking ourselves why we keep returning to video games despite the lack of evidence to support its link to violence. Of course, this kind of association is not new. Some scholars blamed television for the crime wave of the 1970s and '80s, which has since vanished. And comic books in the 1950s were blamed by psychiatrists for not only delinquency but homosexuality (Batman and Robin were secretly gay it seemed. I'm not making this up). In hindsight, these strands of associations look ridiculous, but in the moment they served a purpose.
Rare though they are, mass shootings often strike at schools, malls, churches, theaters -- places we all go in places we all live. One of the questions asked repeatedly after the Newtown shooting is why Lanza did what he did.

Daniel: 'The final was a step too far'
4 Aug 2012
Sharks captain Keegan Daniel credited his team for a strong finish to the Super Rugby season, but conceded that the odds were always against them in the final.
After a stuttering start to the 2012 tournament campaign (which included five losses in their opening nine fixtures) and a 38-28 shock defeat to the Lions in Johannesburg near the play-off rounds, the Sharks needed a strong finish to push for a top-six place on the overall table.
And it was mission completed as they recorded bonus-point victories over the Bulls (32-10) and Cheetahs (34-15) at Kings Park.
However, the road through the knockout stages was always going to be difficult for the men from Durban.
They had to travel to Brisbane during the wildcard qualifiers to tackle 2011 champions the Reds. They did the job as they powered to a 30-17 win. They then had to make a return trip to South Africa, to face the Stormers in Cape Town. Despite the travelling factor, they picked up a 26-19 win over the log-leaders. Incredible.
But there wasn't much time to celebrate as they had to make their way to Hamilton to face the Chiefs in the title decider – their third move across the Indian Ocean in the space of three weeks.
While most of the media and pundits gave the Sharks no chance of victory because of the travel disadvantage, the team tried to remain positive. The players believed they could fight through the 80 more minutes to complete an amazing run.
However, the Chiefs outplayed the clearly fatigued visitors in a 37-6 triumph to be crowned champions. Daniel admitted that the better team won on the day.
'This challenge was too big, but we have no excuses. The Chiefs were outstanding,' Daniel said in the post-match interview. 'It's been an incredible journey for the team, since the loss against the Lions. We gave ourselves a decent chance, but in the end, we just couldn't take it.'
Daniel also lamented missing early try-scoring opportunities that would've handed the Sharks an early advantage. They held the ascendancy in the opening quarter, but could only score three points via a Frederick Michalak penalty.
The Chiefs then powered to victory as they converted their 13-3 half-time advantage into a comfortable win. Captain Craig Clarke lauded his team's battle at the gainline and their competition under the high balls and lineouts.
'Winning the competition is so surreal. The boys are very chuffed, just like after our win over the Crusaders last week,' said Clarke. 'In the first quarter, we were very slow to get to the box. It could've been the effect after a physical game the weekend before.
'But we picked up in the second half, and got into the work. We disrupted them in the air and they struggled to drive from the lineouts. We managed to deliver our trademark line speed on attack and we were in their face. We also had heaps of pride on defence and kept them out from scoring tries.'

4 Aug 2012, 12:16 pmKeegan remains a dragon. The Stormers fans – with a few exceptions – remain as bitter as ever. Nothing has changed.
4 Aug 2012, 15:46 pmAnother hollow victory for the Kiwis
4 Aug 2012, 16:40 pm@kaksioek-1: And the Sharks lose their fourth Super rugby final.
Correct, nothing has changed.
Very sad that the 'best team in Super rugby never to win a title' has only once finished
high enough to get a home choke. (the others were away chokes). What does this tell you?
Maybe, just maybe……like the rest of the teams who have never won a Super rugby
title, you just aren't good enough.
You are just like us. Until you WIN it, you are merely a team in it. -
4 Aug 2012, 23:13 pm@YoMama-2:
All Kiwi victories are hollow, much like the trophies. More room to fit the champagne in.
5 Aug 2012, 00:48 amSharkfin soup… aaahhh!
(A 30 point four-tries-to-nil pounding in the final really isn't a "strong finish", by the way. The word you're probably looking for is "whimper".)
5 Aug 2012, 01:56 amHats off to the Sharks. In the latter stages of last weeks match against the Stormers, there was a noticeable drop off in intensity by the Sharks. They were stuffed. The Stormers failed to capitalize. They didn't have a clue what to do next. Most level headed pundits, whether Sharks fans or not, would applaud the effort put in by the Sharks. I am a Chiefs supporter, and after the match had the good fortune to have a few words words with Keegan Daniel as he made his way off the field. I shook his hand thanked him and wished him and his team well for the future. He patted me on the back, and said "it was bloody tough out there."
Well done to the Sharks and all of their supporters. -
5 Aug 2012, 06:24 amA nice feel good story for a change. Mr Chiefs fan, what happens now Sonny has gone? Kahui at centre?
5 Aug 2012, 15:29 pmSound like a 10 years old excuse?
Sharks management and its union should have made a stand for:
1. Reject Walsh as the referee, he did enough Vs the Stormers to disqualify himself
2. To threat to send 2nd team since the 1st team clearly was not able to perform on Saturday, there were enough sport doctors to attest to it.
They did none. -
6 Aug 2012, 08:06 amBoom!!! Fzzzzz POP!!!
The Sharks are notv the best Team in SA!! They were lucky to be in a final.. 37 – 6??? Come on!!
No jetlag excuses.. .it was not offered last week.. it will not be offered this week!!
I will say it again: They were just part of the NZ plan to have the Chiefs play a home final… a Newlands final would have been so much better!!
6 Aug 2012, 08:07 amWhere is HG?? After that Pakkeslae I would not show my face either here on Keo!! You really gave it to us Stormers.. so come receive your can of WHOOPAAASSSSS.. and can of STFU!!!!
Losers!! Sonny Bill made those Guppies his personal Biaatchesss!!!!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are the NFL's new bad boys.
Or maybe they're just victims of circumstance and perception.
They've racked up $134,000 in fines already for crossing the line on both tackles and talk, and they've watched three of their players get served with suspension letters from the league office.
Mays was fined $50,000 and suspended for one game. He's appealing his punishment.
If the NFL upholds his punishment, the Broncos will have to face the Oakland Raiders, the league's longtime renegades, without middle linebacker Joe Mays, whose vicious hit last weekend sent Matt Schaub's helmet and a chunk of his left ear flying.
While Mays is known as one of the game's hardest hitters, he's also considered one of the nicest men in pro football.
"Joe Mays is not a dirty player. He was not intentionally trying to hurt anybody," coach John Fox told The Associated Press on Wednesday, choosing his words carefully so as not to incur the wrath of the commissioner's office again.
"He was playing football, and in football sometimes there's a fine line in putting the hurt on somebody and trying to hurt them."
The Broncos (1-2) are already thin at linebacker with Nate Irving (concussion) hurt and D.J. Williams serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's banned-substances policy, the same infraction that sidelined tight end Virgil Green for the first four games.
Mays was docked $7,875 after Week 2 because of his unpenalized hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan after he slid to declare himself down. Continued...
The latest Mays penalty came a day after the NFL levied a $30,000 fine against Fox and a $25,000 fine against defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio for verbal abuse of the replacement officials during the Atlanta game.
"That's life, man," said safety Rahim Moore, who was fined $21,000 for his illegal hit on defenseless Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders in the Broncos' opener.
"When the coaches curse, that's not something they intend to do. And we're not just out there hitting guys for fines. I mean, who wants money taken from them? Nobody does.
"So, we just play the game, we're passionate. At the same time, we respect the rules and regulations here at the Denver Broncos. They don't teach us to do things the wrong way. We just try to play hard every snap, that's it."
Moore cringed at the notion that the Broncos are crossing the line willy-nilly.
"When it's all said and done, you want people to be able to get up out of bed the next morning," Moore said. "And unfortunately, we've been fined and had some problems with our team, but we're trying to win. So, we've got to deal with the consequences."
Fox insisted he wasn't worried that the Broncos might be viewed as the NFL's new bad boys.
"I've been doing this a long time. I've been doing it the same way for almost a quarter of a century," Fox said. "I know Joe Mays. I know Jack Del Rio. If people want to create that image they can. But I know differently."
The big, bad Broncos?
Hardly. Continued...
"That just makes me laugh," defensive tackle Mitch Unrein said. "Well, of course, we want to be considered a tough team and you try to set a standard of play: we're going to play hard and we're going to hit you hard, but we're not going to try to do anything cheap. That's not the name of the game. Unfortunately, some guys have gotten fined for it, but nothing's intentional."
Mays said after the game that he expected a fine but not a suspension, adding, "it was definitely not my intention to do that. I'm just trying to play fast."
He explained that Schaub "kind of ducked his head toward the end" as he came free and was about to make impact. "So, there's nothing I can do about it, I can't take it back," Mays said. "I guess it's on to the next game."
Not for Mays, unless he can get his suspension overturned by Art Shell or Ted Cottrell, who are jointly appointed by the league and union to review discipline handed out for on-field conduct.
"I think it's terrible," defensive tackle Justin Bannan said. "Joe's one of the best human beings I know, and there's no way he would maliciously go after a quarterback like that or hit him in the head on purpose. You guys have got to realize how fast these things happen."
Bannan said the league is asking the impossible of players to avoid those types of hits entirely.
"Especially on the back end, you're watching these safeties and cornerbacks coming to hit a guy across the middle and that guy adjusts at the last second or something happens, I don't know how you adjust in mid-air going fullspeed," Bannan said. "Sometimes your head may hit him, and a lot of times, that's an accident."
If Mays isn't allowed to play, the Broncos will go with Keith Brooking in the middle. He'd been rotating with Wesley Woodyard at weakside linebacker. Two rookies who haven't played any defensive snaps, Danny Trevathan and Steven Johnson, would be in the rotation.
Mays apologized to Schaub both during and after Denver's 31-25 loss Sunday, and Schaub indicated Wednesday he didn't begrudge Mays for the hard hit that left him bloodied and with a chunk of his left ear somewhere in the grass at Sports Authority Field.
"It's a violent game we play. Things happen. It's the nature of playing football, there are no hard feelings," Schaub said. "The league does what the league needs to do. He definitely came up and apologized and felt bad about the hit. And I'm fine, so we'll just move on." Continued...
Unrein said it was a shame Mays might be getting a bad rap, though.
"It's a violent game and from ever since you're a little kid, you're always preached to go as hard as you can, hit as hard as you can every play," Unrein said. "Things happen so fast out there, a split-second, if he sees you coming, he lowers his head, too.
"And you know, Joe's such a nice guy, he never plays to hurt anybody. He just plays the game so hard and with so much passion."
Johnson looked at Mays' empty locker Wednesday and shook his head.
"Back in the day, it probably would have just looked like a good hit and they probably would have moved on to the next play and put it on a highlight reel," Johnson said. "But now the game's changed. You've just got to roll with the punches."
Notes: Help is on the way for QB Peyton Manning, who's been sacked eight times so far, putting him on pace for a career-high 43: RG Chris Kuper practiced Wednesday for the first time since breaking his left forearm on Aug. 14. Kuper declined comment until he's played in a game, which may not come until Week 5 at New England. ... WR Matthew Willis (hamstring) and CB Quinton Carter (knee) missed practice.

The disclosures that all Google Shopping results are paid are somewhat hidden. On the main Google Shopping page, a disclaimer that Google is "compensated by some" vendors is buried at the bottom of the page. Search results are formatted to look like a typical Google results page, and you must click on a link that says "Why these products?" to see a similar disclaimer. (Bing's big Scroogled marketing push might actually address this problem for Google. Now, everyone will know they're paid.)
By working closely with vendors instead of scraping public product feeds, Google is attempting to tap into more current data, with up-to-date inventory and price information. As a result, the quality of the individual product search results should improve.
The trade-off is that it is missing some major retailers that do not want to pay to play, most notably Google's actual biggest competitor when it comes to online shopping, Amazon.
Bing Shopping still includes Amazon results, but Amazon has positioned itself as an entry point for online shoppers in direct competition with Google and Bing. A Forrester report released in July found that 30% of online shoppers start researching products on Amazon, while only 13% started on Google.
The Scroogled page claims the exclusion of free listings could result in "not getting the best price when you thought you were," but cursory test searches of major tech products found prices were comparable on both sites. A camera might have a lower price on one, and a tablet come in a few bucks cheaper on the other.
Google Shopping claims a larger volume of product choices than Bing's product tool. Google Shopping currently has around 100,000 vendors and over a billion products in its listings. Bing has 15,000 vendors and "hundreds of millions" of products.
The Scroogled.com page is just one part of a spirited national campaign that will include digital, print and TV ads that attempt to vilify the first-place search engine.
"This was meant to be a fairly lighthearted holiday campaign," explained Weitz. He clarified that Scroggled is a reference to Ebenezer Scrooge, not the similar sounding naughty verb.
Seasonal hijinks aside, Weitz said he has real concerns that this could be the start of a trend at Google, spreading to other Google services such as news.
Google is not addressing the Scroogled attack directly, but did release a statement touting the benefits of its Shopping service, saying, "With new 360-degree, interactive product images, social shopping lists and a fast growing inventory of more than a billion products worldwide, Google is a great resource for shoppers to find what they need."

I haven't done this FC thing for a couple weeks now and I confess that I'm really excited to link up this week!
I confess that I'm near tears that I can't make it to the meet up with all my blogger friends in Texas in a few weeks.
I confess that I search every day for cheap flights, but the cheapest I found was $412. Boo.
I confess that I do get to visit this awesome lady and I'm travelling with this awesome lady to get there. Myya and I go way back, and it's going to be so fun! I think it's about a 10 hour car ride to get there, but with our combined 5 children...I'm guessing it's gonna take longer. Oh the stories we will have to tell, though!
I confess my kids are getting outta sight excited about the fun things we will do while we're there!
I confess that Myya got me hooked on stupid WordFued. And she kicks my ass every time we play. In fact, right now I have 89 points and she's got 261. She comes up with fake words like "muley" and "qi" and WordFued is like, "Okay Miss Myya, we looooove you and you can make up fake words and we don't care!" And then I try to make up a word and WF is all like, "No MiMi!!! No fake word for you!" EFF WordFued. EFF it.
I confess that my 5 year old beats me at Memory. Every time. Did I mention he's 5? And he beats me. Soundly.
I confess that I think Walmart greeters are ageist. Hear me out! They're all like 89 or something. And when you walk in with 3 or 4 other people, they always say, "Hi, Welcome to Walmart," or some crap like that to the elderly people. But they don't say it to the regular people, like me. They also talk to the moms with babies. So, you have to be either really young (baby) or really old (99% of their Tuesday morning traffic) to get any attention. Whatever. I don't care. I'm on to them now!
I confess that sometimes I leave a comment on a blog and that blogger will reply to me. Like 4 days later. I have no clue what the reply is regarding and can't remember the post OR the comment I left. I also confess that sometimes this happens even if they reply right away.
I confess...that...I get a little bit giddy about the Royal Wedding. I can't even say why, because to tell you the truth, I couldn't give a fig if the monarchy ceased to exist. I think it's because it's William, who I remember watching walk after Di's casket with his adorable brother Harry. I think it's because the romanticism of tradition gets me in the gut. I think it's because he's marrying a "commoner" whom he loves. And I think it's because I'd give my left nut to look like Kate.
Go link up with Mamarazzi if you have something to confess!

The Russellville Panther baseball team traveled to Bowling Green High School on Friday. The Panthers were coming off a big win of 17-6 over Caverna but did not have the same success against Bowling Green. The Panthers would fall 4-0 to the Purples.
The Panthers started off the game good, keeping the Purples from scoring but they were not able to make any big plays. The Purples added the first run to the scoreboard in the second inning putting the Panthers down 0-1.
The Panthers were able to hold off the Purples for several innings, including a double play earlier in the game, but the Panthers were not able to hold them off until the end.
At the bottom of the fifth, the Purples got a good hit and sent the ball far into the outfield. The Panthers could not get the ball in the infield in time, causing the Purples to get three runs, bringing the score to 4-0.The Panthers could not get any runs, so the game ended 4-0 to the Purples.
Tyler Hall pitched the entire game with eight strike outs and only six hits.
The Panthers will play Muhlenberg County tonight at home at 5:30.
