MELBOURNE, Australia — Nearly all top tennis players have some public social media presence, with many of them on multiple networks. Maria Sharapova, who has long maintained an active Facebook page, joined Twitter this week, and has accumulated more than 60,000 followers in just a few days. Roger Federer sticks exclusively to Facebook, while Serena Williams was an early adapter of Twitter, and often tweets product endorsements and occasionally opaque allusions to her personal life.
Though he also maintains a Facebook page, sixth-ranked Czech Tomas Berdych's signature social network is the image-sharing platform Instagram.
"All pic are my passion," he says in his profile description, listing tennis as his first passion and watches as his second.
Watches? Yes, watches. though he does not have an official watch sponsorship like some other top players, more than two dozen of Berdych's photos are of wristwatches. Even a personal photo from New Year's Eve of himself and his girlfriend, the Czech model Ester Satorova, is hashtagged to include the brand of the watch Berdych is wearing in the photo.
Berdych says his passion for timepieces came after a dispute with his parents over his chronograph illiteracy.
"Since a kid," Berdych says when asked when his love of watches began. "Maybe it was because that my father, my parents was kind of giving me a hard time that I was not able to actually learn how to tell the time, on the watches like this, you know.
"So I was always, like, 'no, I need the digital watches!' They said 'no, you will never get the digital watches! You have to know how to say the time!' So I said 'okay.' Then I was learning the time. And maybe, you know, that was the moment that I get into that."
After admiring the watches of some of the other players on tour, Berdych decided to start buying them after winning his first A.T.P. title in 2004 in Palermo. Berdych has kept up the tradition of buying himself watches after big victories. The most expensive watch he has bought himself after a victory was one from Swiss watchmaker Hublot, which cost more than $20,000. Ironically, he bought it in New York to commemorate his quarterfinal win over another Swiss standard-bearer, Roger Federer, at the 2012 United States Open.
"We can say like that I'm awarding myself after good results," Berdych said with a laugh.
Asked if he has a favorite watch, Berdych sighs as if he is being asked to pick his favorite child.
"You know, every single one are kind of special to me," he says. "So, no, it's hard to tell if the one, you know, really just one piece is the special one. So far no."
Berdych estimates he now owns roughly 14 watches. The one he is asked most about, however, is one he has not yet bought–the one to commemorate he and teammate Radek Stepanek winning the Czech Republic's first ever Davis Cup title in November.
"Everybody's asking me about the one after Davis Cup," he says. "But I am saying that it is still not there, you know? I still really need to take the time to really decide the ones which I like, which maybe they feel special to me or something like that. So, yeah, they are coming, they are gonna come."
Asked the type of watch he would buy were he to win this Australian Open, Berdych laughs, and says that the Davis Cup memento will have to come first.
"I go one by one," he said with a smile.

Sail-World.com : Miami Sailing Week - Bacardi Cup Day 2
Miami Sailing Week - Bacardi Cup Day 2
'Lars Grael and Mario Lagoa (hull 74) are the standings leaders after two days of racing for the 86th Bacardi Cup' Cory Silken
Click Here to view large photo
Bacardi Cup 2013 second day of racing got under way on Biscayne Bay with the breeze just into the double digits, making the day a test of experience and persistence for the 56 Star teams racing. Two races were completed as the sunshine warmed temperatures into the low 70s, and, with three races scored a drop race now comes into play. While Lars Grael and Mario Lagoa (BRA) remain first overall with two points net after adding today's finishes of 12-1 to their win of yesterday's lone race, less than 12 points separate the top-five teams.
'Races were similar to yesterday although the second race overall was more gentle,' said Grael. 'On the first race today we did a wrong jibe and we rounded the mark fifth, closed the downwind leg 25th and finished 12th; it was a difficult race for us. Second race of the day started well, we rounded the mark first and protected the position. While fighting with Xavier Rohart we managed to keep a good gap with the rest of the field. Overall we're happy because competition is tough and we're competing against Augie Diaz who is a local sailor and I believe has the home advantage.'
Diaz, with crew Arnis Baltins, is just three points out of first place and knows winning this championship will come down to more than local knowledge.

'The first race was difficult, but we managed to do well,' said Diaz of the win of today's first race. 'We had better opportunities and with a little bit of luck we were able to round the weather mark third and then take the lead to the end. Second race of the day was more challenging because we decided to go on the right side of the course while the wind went left; I'm therefore happy with a 10th place. I have a lot of respect for Lars because he is very good in all conditions and in all venues. I don't think I have a big edge by being local; really not as big an edge as he might think I have.'
Third overall are the defending champions Xavier Rohart and Pierre Alexis Ponsot (FRA), who placed 6-2 today, a strong recovery from yesterday's finish of 25. They carry eight points and are followed in fourth by the Italian team of Diego Negri and Frithjof Kleen whose scoreline of 13-3-9 totals 12 points. Rounding out fifth in the standings is Irish Olympian Peter O'Leary and Rodney Hagebols who have 13.5 points after finishes of 2.5-36-11.
Racing for the Star class resumes tomorrow, Wednesday, March 6. Starting on Thursday, March 7, the Stars will be joined on Biscayne Bay by sailors in the Viper 640, Audi Melges 20, and Melges 24 classes, along with the J/70 class which makes its event debut. Racing, for all classes, will conclude on Saturday, March 9.
During the event sailors will enjoy the hospitality lounge, Bacardi Rum tastings, as well as the daily prize giving for the top-three finishers and the final awards dinner. A special exhibit of America's Cup history and memorabilia will feature the work of Rhode Island-based photographer Cory Silken in the North Hall of the Coconut Grove Convention Center.
The exhibits will be open to the public from noon to 7:00PM daily and are free of charge. The prestigious Coral Reef Yacht Club will coordinate on-water activities in collaboration with Biscayne Bay Yacht Club and Coconut Grove Sailing Club. The U.S. Sailing Center and Shake-A-Leg Miami will also support the event. Racing will be held on three separate courses approximately two miles out on Biscayne Bay.

Kansas figured it would get a jump on warm-ups by arriving nice and early to the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis for its Midwest Regional Final against North Carolina on Sunday.
The NCAA had other ideas.
Rules prevent teams from touching the balls for the shoot-around until there are 57 minutes left before the tip-off. So even though the Jayhawks had finished their stretching, they were forced to stand around on the court while tournament officials guarded the two racks of balls that were stationed in front of the scorer's table.
Kansas forward Thomas Robinson was smiling and joking along the baseline, while fifth-year senior Connor Teahan kept asking the officials whether he could start shooting. Meanwhile, a few thousand early arrivers in the stands created a very awkward fish-in-the-fishbowl vibe.
It wasn't until the clocks above the goals started counting down from 57 minutes that the officials finally released the balls, allowing the Jayhawks to continue their warm-ups.
North Carolina had its timing down a little better.
The moment Kansas players could finally put their hands on the balls, the Tar Heels emerged from their tunnel to begin their warm-ups, too. So much for that early advantage.

Take The A Train...Or Maybe Dont
After hoofing through the drifts for ten minutes, by the intervention of some good angel I saw a taxi churning snow three streets over. I told my daughter to wait by the bodega and I ran to it. There was a passenger inside and I begged him to let us join him wherever he was going. He was from Jamaica and of course agreed. We picked up my daughter Arwynn, drove to his house and then we headed out to JFK. It was slow going and at five my wife called to say that my mum's plane had been diverted to Boston Logan but according to Aer Lingus they were going to refuel there and go onto JFK. As we got closer to JFK there were cops and state troopers telling us to go back because the airport was closed. Finally my wife called and let me know that Aer Lingus now appreciated that no one was landing at JFK and the passengers were deplaning at Logan where they were being put on buses (!) to JFK. But Logan was fine because my wife was still in northern Mass so we called Aer Lingus and told my mum not to get on the bus to New York. Meanwhile my daughter and I went back to Manhattan by taxi to stay with Leah's aunt Amy.
We decided to spend Christmas in America this year because my daughter - having been born in Denver and now living in Australia - missed the snow. We're on the Greyhound bus back to Boston and she tells me now that she is over it.

I bet you're all missing the locusts right about now.
Really glad you all made it safely, and must add, thank heaven for Jamaicans. - December 29, 2010 at 5:27 AM
Yes thank God for Jamaicans and Chinese cabbies.
And I liked the fact that no one on the subway could have cared less if we'd lived or died. - December 29, 2010 at 5:37 AM
You had your very own version of Planes, Trains & Automobiles. At least you dont have a car sick child. I was a real puker when i was young and utterly embarrassed my dad on many occassions when we hitch-hiked, bus rides etc. Is getting the A- Train at night-time a bit hairy? ive been told it is.

Even in Philadelphia, whose transit system may be the world's stupidest, subways are generally unaffected by blizzards. The subways stop about 12:30 a.m., to be replaced until 5 a.m. by shuttle buses. During one of last year's storms, the agency made the commendable decision to run the subways all night because the streets were in bad shape.

Yes, Arwynn does sound rather undauntable for a child.
I really have been wondering what happened to all the other people without a Jamaican guardian angel. - December 29, 2010 at 10:38 AM
Great you're both okay, and that New Yorkers helped you.
I guess the snow thing is over, been there, done that. Now you can stay in sunny Australia for future holiday seasons--and the rest of us can envy that.
Those of us who didn't have to go out in the blizzard, on the other hand, enjoyed reading, drinking tea and staying warm. Nothing like snow days to catch up on reading! - December 29, 2010 at 1:38 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Yes I've been catching up on some of the horror stories: an entire D train stuck with passengers overnight, a Cathy Pacific flight held on the runway for TWELVE hours...So our adventures were small potatoes. - December 29, 2010 at 2:09 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
No no this is one trip she wont forget. I mean we also squeezed in a trip to The Empire State Buildind and a visit to Mood (if you watch Project Runway you'll know what the latter is). - December 29, 2010 at 2:11 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
There was a Japanese couple we left behind in the subway. They were on their way to JFK to catch a flight. I tried to explain the situation as best as I could and as far as I understood it and told them that they should come with us out onto the street but they decided to wait in the subway car. I have no idea what happened to them. - December 29, 2010 at 2:13 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Well we did do some fun stuff too. The Empire State is always great and it was fun walking down the middle of Broadway making fresh snow tracks! - December 29, 2010 at 2:15 PM

Well, I'm glad they were together. It would be quite difficult in a foreign country where you didn't speak the language.
I can't remember if I ever mentioned here that I flew out of London the day before the London bombings. I would at least have been in the underground system if they had happened a day earlier. I had been staying in a weird hostel like place the couple of nights before and there was a guy from Portugal who I chatted with over breakfast. He was taking the underground to his classes everyday, and I wondered often he had been okay. My friend's mother actually had been coming in on that day and there were some days before we actually knew she was alright. I don't think the full story of her experience was ever fully revealed, but there were some helpful fellow travellers, anyway. Which is about all any of us can be. - December 29, 2010 at 2:23 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I really hope they didnt spend all last night in that subway car.
Thats messed up about the London bombing. Something a little similar: remember that plan to detonate liquid bombs where they arrested dozens of people who had already made their suicide videos? We were flying to Europe that weekend and were among the passengers whose flights were cancelled. But better that of course than the alterative... - December 29, 2010 at 3:10 PM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
Why didn't the passengers just leap out of the A train and walk the tunnels to-- well, to the snow-clogged streets that were getting them nowhere?
- December 29, 2010 at 3:28 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I dont know. The trains at least were heated and warm...the tunnels had snow coming in and were freezing and I suppose potentially scary. - December 29, 2010 at 3:31 PM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
Ah, I didn't know the trains were heated and warm. That's one good thing about Philadlphia's subway trains: The seats are heated in the winter. A warm tuchus and a sound mind; what else can one ask for in these times?
- December 29, 2010 at 3:37 PM
- seana said...
It's funny, because I was actually flying back for probably the first and last time on Virgin Airlines, and having a pretty comfy time. And midflight they announced that London had gotten the 2012 summmer Olympics. So all the Brits were rejoicing and it was pretty much the exact opposite of the bombing experience that was soon to follow. But no one in my family knew which day I was flying back exactly, and for some odd reason, none of them were in touch with each other, so it actually took a couple of days for them all to find out that I was okay.
By the way, that Ellington performance is mighty fine. - December 29, 2010 at 3:40 PM

Is it my imagination, or has your bus ride from Boston to New York grown from 8 1/2 to 9 to 10 hours in the retelling?
- December 29, 2010 at 3:52 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I recalculated and added in the time we left Newburyport. From door to door was 12 hours, actual time on buses was closer to 11 hours.
Happily the journey back took 4 and a half and then an hour to Newburyport which is much more civilised. - December 29, 2010 at 10:33 PM

"I recalculated and added in the time we left Newburyport. From door to door was 12 hours, actual time on buses was closer to 11 hours."
Yeah, no adult would exaggerate for narrative effect. That's a kid's thing. I'm thinking of the bus for my next trip to Boston, but I'll check the weather forecast first.
And ditto on Ellington. Interesting to hear the space between notes in his piano playing. He was a kind of Thelonious Monk before Thelonious Monk. - December 30, 2010 at 5:32 AM

My son's bar mitzvah was on Monday (in Boston). A couple of the guests had trouble getting back home afterward. My brother-in-law was trying to get back to California to do surgery, and he got stuck in NYC for 24 hours trying to get on a plane, any plane, going home.
My aunt and uncle had the same problem getting back to London. - December 30, 2010 at 6:33 AM

This is as good a time as any to repeat my occasional remark that had Billy Strayhorn been Dutch, Ellington would have taken the AA Train (to Haarlem, you know).
- December 30, 2010 at 1:44 PM
- seana said...
Hope your mother had a somewhat better journey than you guys did.
There was something about seeing that Ellington piece pop out of the blog post that made me realize all over again how incredible the technological age we live in really is, for all it's inherent risks. - December 30, 2010 at 1:48 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Hmmm how tenuous can I make this?
Duke Ellington ended up only a few graves away from Herman Melville who of course gave us Starbuck, Starbucks borrowed this name for their company which still gets much of its product from the former Dutch East Indian ports of Batavia and New Haarlem in Java.
Incidentally I bought a paper edition of The New York Times today and found two serious copyediting mistakes in the lead editorial. - December 30, 2010 at 3:30 PM

Its also pretty amazing that I wrote, found the youtube and posted this blog on the Greyhound from Port Authority to South Station. - December 30, 2010 at 3:32 PM

Yes, you said you were writing it from the bus, but I guess I didn't quite take it all in.
Starbucks has a lot of nerve, but then so I guess does Battlestar Galactica. - December 30, 2010 at 3:54 PM

For the record, no one now uses Greyhound except for ... older people who don't know any better. There are really good (as in new) buses that offer cheap fares from Boston to NYC - such as Bolt bus, Mega bus....some others too. Of course, no one could avoid the snow. Wow. Montreal was lacking the snow because it all dumped on you. But please please keep the other bus lines in line if you ever need to travel between the two locales. I took both buses (one way each) and paid something like $12 ans $17 respectively. Because I didn't plan in advance too well. I got wifi and a place to plug my laptop in. A great ride. - January 5, 2011 at 11:30 AM

Bell ringers with the familiar red kettles are at both Rome Walmarts, Kroger and Sam's Club as well as the Walmarts in Cedartown, Rockmart and Summerville.
But you can send a virtual ring to your friends and family online, according to Capt. Douglas McClure of Rome's Salvation Army.
The organization has established www.onlineredkettle.org, which allows individuals to create an online site where their friends can donate to the Salvation Army.
The Online Red Kettle gives people a chance to help the local organization reach its goal of $65,000.
"This is the money we need to operate for the next year," McClure said. "This is our only public fundraiser."
The Salvation Army's Can-a-thon will take place Friday morning at State Mutual Stadium. Last year more than 50,000 cans of food were donated, all of which remained with the local organization.
The Salvation Army provides a variety of services: emergency shelter, drug/alcohol abuse rehabilitation, rent assistance, utilities assistance, clothing and food assistance and disaster relief services. They operate two thrift stores, one on Shorter Avenue and one on East Second Avenue.

What is TRIO?
In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life. These Programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs). While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
Iowa Lakes Community College hosts two of the TRiO Programs.

I made another box art omg.
I wanted to make one for the next Star Wars game tentatively titled: The Force Unleashed. As some of you might know, there is absolutely ZERO material for this game. Lucas arts hasn't even released the trailer to the public as far as i know. Overcoming that, i created a sample box art that could be the basis for the one i create if and when they release some official material. Its extremely basic, but i created it from scratch, so i hope you guys like it
oh, and 5 bucks goes to whoever can decipher the alien writing on the side
not really, but i'll give you a mental high-five!

"The beats sound nothing like anything you've ever heard me on. The features that I'm going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it's a very human album. What I mean by that is that it's contradictory. On one song I say, 'The saint is ours', like we're in the saint's corner and then I have another song called 'I'm Not A Saint'. It's so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There's no apologies in what I'm saying. I don't mind that it contradicts itself because that's what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it's Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I'm telling stories that I've never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It's super personal and I've got a big chip on my shoulder again. It's always been there, but it's getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain't goin' nowhere." -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13
"Tech was literally dancing in his seat with excitement about the new album and some of the featured artists on it. He couldn't say who they were, but he did explain that the album will be broken up into three distinct sections — Fire, Water and Earth.
Fire, Tech said, will have darker tracks, but the CD will finish with a heavenly theme in the Earth portion.
"I've got some heavenly 'We Are The World' shit on this album, swear to God," Tech said.
As for Water, Tech said he hasn't quite decided, but possible themes might be partying or confusion." -DailyWIldCat.com 3/29/13

I think Wiz on just a hook would be pointless. He probably charges up the ass for a hook or verse (unless they trade a verse for a verse) There's a lot more people out there than can make a great hook. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't want Wiz on a track only because his whole style has changed and Tech can't bring the old Wiz back. ONIFC was one of the worst albums of 2012.

I think Wiz could produce a decent hook but I wouldn't want a verse from him

Who the fuck is Consuelo? (A) why do i give a fuck that they want tech to do a song with wiz? and (B) just because techs lookin for a beat doesnt mean it will EVER happen
The kid that asked the question in twitter. It is a possibility. Why not see what people's opinions are about it.

I hope that's not the real album cover. How dull and uncreative. Even if the album was all about ornamental, gold leaf picture frames, this would be a lame solution.
Do You judge a book by its cover too? Who cares what it looks like. I would still buy this album if it was a blank white piece of paper

This Reminds me of All 6's & 7's when He announced that he was working with Wanye yes i hated it but it is still a tech album and if i dont like the hook i will fast forward through it like i do fuck food i just hope this album is worth the wait thats all i hope for i also hope for a better cover but i can deal with this one if its the actual cover hell maybe its a slip cover like abominationz with a different cover underneath it

Chimpo is Fucko the Monkey - among many other names. Many other names required because he's been banned so many times, starting from SFN, moving to here.
He's a short-order cook from Canada...somewhere north of me at one point, I believe, working as the greaseboy in a marina, then moving east in the GTA. He just got out of jail - I'm not sure what for. Is back with a vengeance.
There's a cute story about him being kidnapped in the trunk of an older woman's car.

A NASA spacecraft has made the clearest record yet of choruses of noise in the Earth's magnetosphere.
The chirps and whoops were captured by one of NASA's two recently launched Radiation Belt Storm Probes spacecraft, whose mission is to understand more about space weather.
"My wife calls it 'alien birds,'" joked experiment principal investigator Craig Kletzing, an astronomer at the University of Iowa.
The twin RBSP spacecraft are exploring the magnetosphere, an area where solar particles add energy to the Earth's magnetic environment, leading to a release of energy in the Van Allen radiation belt.

A confidential U.N. report revealed Iran is exporting arms to the Syrian government in violation of a ban on weapons sales, the same day President Bashar al-Assad blamed the violence in his country on the work of foreign-backed fighters.
The draft report describes three seizures of Iranian weapons shipments, including two bound for Syria, within the past year, a Western diplomat told CNN on Wednesday on condition of anonymity. The official was not authorized to release details to the media.
The report was drafted by a panel of experts and submitted to the U.N. Security Council's committee that monitors sanctions against Iran, the official said.
The revelations came as al-Assad, in a rare interview, told Russia 24 that weapons in the hands of rebels were flowing into the country from neighboring Lebanon and Turkey.
"You can't simply close the borders and stop the smuggling, but you can reduce the flow," he said.
In recent days, violence has spilled over into Lebanon and Turkey, where thousands of Syrians have fled. At least one person was killed and an undetermined number were wounded Thursday in renewed clashes in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli between factions supporting and opposing the uprising in Syria, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Al-Assad put the blame instead on the so-called Arab Spring in which popular revolutions toppled the governments of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.
"If we take into consideration the developments in Syria, the events in Libya and other countries, for the leaders of these countries, it's becoming clear that this is not 'Spring' but chaos."
The successful Arab Spring movements inspired the uprising in Syria that began in March 2011 with protests calling for political reforms. It devolved into a revolt with an armed opposition amid a brutal crackdown by al-Assad's forces.
The United Nations estimates that at least 9,000 people have died in the 14 months of conflict, while opposition groups put the death toll at more than 11,000.

Tips posts
SEO sanity check part 1: Google's Penguin and Panda updates
SEO has always been a tricky business, not only do experts have to spend time on researching keywords and following the best practices, they have to be prepared for the changes which search engines inevitably put into place.
Last year saw search giant Google make two major algorithm updates — Panda and Penguin — that saw many a site plummet down the rankings, as they were penalized by the new rules.
This was because the changes were implemented in order to rank poor quality sites, such as content mills and link farms, down and give more weight to sites that produce quality content.
This is carried out by making changes to how Google's...
Flat design sites that work
Whilst the term "flat design" might not be a phrase you're yet familiar with, you will definitely have noticed the concept and the design features whilst browsing the internet.
For those of you that have noticed an increase in the "drop shadow" trend in web design, the easiest way to describe flat design is to say it's the opposite of that. Flat design is designing a website that has left behind the drop shadow and the 3D effects, and that is by all intents and purposes flat.
Flat design looks modern, fun, fresh and refreshingly simple compared to it's 3D counterpart. Flat design is embracing...
How to develop a responsive workflow
Remember the good old days? You know which days I'm talking about; the days not so long ago when we used to design websites to fixed widths. Looking back now they seem like such a simpler time; a happier time; a time when I could recite every font that was available to use online without a second thought. The truth is that Responsive Web Design changed everything. The world was flat and now it's round, I was blind and now I see, the web was pixels and now it's percentages.
With the introduction of RWD, it is vital that we as designers evolve our workflow to better suit the demands of the new web. Many of us have voiced our frustrations on how Photoshop's fixed pixel approach is unsuitable for designing the fluid layouts needed for a responsive website but no useful alternatives have been offered. The web design world is desperate for a bespoke software that is built from the ground up with RWD in mind. Products like Adobe Reflow are a great start, as it shows that Adobe are at least working on a solution, but after spending a few hours with it...
Essential web design tips for start-ups
With so many new websites and start-ups springing up every day, a high-quality, professional web site is no longer optional — if it ever was. If you want your company to be taken seriously, let alone stand out, you need to have a design that is both memorable and professional.
However, getting to that point can be difficult. With the exception of start-ups focused on design, most new companies are not founded by people who are naturals at Web design and few have much in the way of resources to throw at the problem.
This can create a major dilemma for a startup, causing some to either push a non-designer into the role of Web developer or simply ignore the problem until they have more money and time down the road. However, if you want your company to thrive...

Beating creative block
Cards on the table: First and foremost, I'm a writer. And while I've worked with more than my share of design gurus, I'm not one myself. But that doesn't mean we don't share some commonality—namely, an affinity for the creative, and an aptitude for having that creativity blocked.

How to use the CSS3 transition property
Along with the introduction of CSS3 comes many new features that are available for use in creating great effects; one of the most useful is the transition property.
The transition property is an important new development in CSS. It can be used to create a dynamic change effect on a div or class using a simple structure:
transition: property duration timing-function...How to get started with Sass
There is one persistent problem with CSS; it doesn't support variables. Each time you specify a color, for a block of text, or an image border, you have to repeat the hex code. When you want to change the color, you have to do so everywhere. Of course there's the 'replace all' option in your text editor, but lack of built-in support for object oriented styles is a huge downside to CSS.
Numerous projects have attempted to solve the issue, and one of the most popular is Sass.
For those of you who aren't very familiar with it, Sass is a CSS preprocessor that effectively expands...
Introduce brainstorming to your creative arsenal
Creative thinking is an integral part of design and all art-related professions. Hyper-creative people appear to conceive of brilliant ideas as easily as magicians pull rabbits from hats, but the truth is that we all meet with creative blocks.
Usually, lack of creativity or originality isn't the problem — if it was, we wouldn't have chosen these professions — but we must learn to be creative regularly and according to a work schedule rather than with unpredictable bursts of inspiration.
Plenty of tools and techniques have been invented to address...
How to keep your text clean
Nothing is more important than readability when it comes to the text on your website.
Absolutely nothing.

Just as important as the words themselves is the design of the text – from fonts, to hyphenation, to how it is all organized on...

Kristen Stewart has been attached to the film "Lie Down in Darkness," based on the William Styron novel about the dysfunctional Loftis family and their vexed daughter Peyton (Stewart), according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The role of Peyton in the Scott Cooper ("Crazy Heart") directed pic, however, is a much sought after one. "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence recently told W magazine that she is "obsessed" with it:
"I am obsessed with that part . . . if someone else gets the part, I'm afraid they won't do it right; they'll make the character a victim or they'll make her a villain or they'll just get it wrong somehow. I'm trying to write the director to convince him that I should be in his movie. I'll chase him if I have to. I'll sit outside his house."
Unfortunately for Lawrence, her plate might be too full—with upcoming parts in the "Hunger Games" sequel and in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

While Gerard Butler is mostly known for his macho roles in movies like 300, he has dabbled in the romantic comedy genre before with movies like P.S. I Love You and The Bounty Hunter. Now he's trading his broadsword for a soccer ball in Playing For Keeps, a rom-com in which he plays a former pro player who now coaches his son's soccer team. While fending off advances from all the soccer moms nearby, he tries to win back the heart of the former love of his life (Jessica Biel). The movie looks a bit sappy, but it's got a solid cast so it could turn out just fine. Take a look at the trailer (via Yahoo!) below!
Playing For Keeps arrives in theaters on December 7th, 2012.
Synopsis: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid star in "Playing For Keeps," a romantic comedy about a charming, down-on-his luck former soccer star (Butler) who returns home to put his life back together. Looking for a way to rebuild his relationship with his son, he gets roped into coaching the boy's soccer team. But his attempts to finally become an "adult" are met with hilarious challenges from the attractive "soccer moms" who pursue him at every turn. "Playing For Keeps" is directed by Gabriele Muccino, the director of "The Pursuit of Happiness."

Last November American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection. Many of American's employees are in a defined-benefit pension plan, which means American Airlines promised them a certain amount of money each year in retirement, regardless of what the markets do. But promises such as this are fleeting, as can be seen by the infighting going on now between employees of the airline and executives.

2. | gook | ||
A term used to describe Koreans. Gook is still a controversial slur. Some Koreans may take it as a joke but some may take as a serious racial slur.
The history behind it is that during the Korean war, an American approached a Korean. The Korean did not understand the American, instead he pointed at him and called out "Mi Gook" which means "America" in Korean. The American then mistakened the Korean and thought the Korean was refering to himself as a "gook." After the Korean War, American started to refer to Koreans as Gooks for short term thinking it was a short name for Korean. There are many different stories where "gook" came from such as korean foods or HanGOOK. Joke:
Person:I hate gook (korean term for soup) Asian: I luv gook Racial slur: Person 1: Wut u lookin at gook? You want some fried rice? Asian: WTF!!! Do you wanna die? |
1. | gook | ||
A derrogatory term used for the purpose of describing a korean. (Obtained form the korean pronunciation of their country, Hangook.)
3. | gook | ||
A derragatory term used against Korean and Vietnamese individuals. The term came about when American troops participating in the Korean war, heard the term "Miguk" which is the Korean word for the United States of America. The term is pronounced similarly to "Me Gook". The Americans thought the Koreans were calling themselves gooks and the name stuck. The name also refers to Vietnamese individuals as American GI's really had no idea what the difference between any Asians were. The grocery store, the dry cleaners, and the liquor shop are all owned by those damn Gooks.
4. | gook | ||
a racial slur used against asians mostly people of korean and vietnamese descent. american soldier 1: the only good gook is a dead gook
american soldier 2 : you said it |
5. | Gook | ||
A derogatory term for an Asian person or person of Asian decent. Most notably used in conjunction with the Korean and Vietnam wars, where most GIs would simply refer to thier enemies as Gooks, although it commonly is used as a distasteful slur against any Asian in modern speech. "Goddamn gooks wont stop comin'! We gun down a whole regiment and another hundred pop up outta nowhere!" (IE Vietnam)
"Hey man, i got new neighbors... Its a bunch of fuckin' Gooks... damn bastards cant drive for shit!" (modern context) |
6. | gook | ||
Vietnamese communist-sporting people. Term dates back to the Vietnam war when US soldiers began to suffer heavy casualties against the resilient Vietnamese defenders.
Gook also is at times referred to Korean people. That gook popped out of a hole!
John McCain: 'I hate them gooks!' Vietnamese person: 'I may be a gook but I beat the living shit out of you' U.S. Army: You'll kill 10 gooks for every nigger that dies in battle, but they'll keep on coming. Gooks are excellent soldiers if you provide them with an AK-47 and white rice. |
7. | Gook | ||
An offensive term used by Presidential Candidate John McCaine to describe his captors in Vietnam.He is a republican which means we'll never hear anyone on Fox News mention this for there's no explanation for this racist term. "I hate those Gooks"-John McCaine

HD500 Made me sell my Axe-Fx (clip)
Like (1)
Here's me noodling around on some patches I just created. Listen in stereo for maximum effect.
The dirty is a Treadplate and J800 in stereo with a screamer before and phaser and ping pong delay after. The clean is a AC30TB and PhD Motorway in stereo with digital delay and analog with mod, and an analog chorus. I think. Edit: There's a digital delay after the J800 only in addition to the ping pong after both. It's set to 20ms and 100% wet.
What I find very cool about the HD models is I didn't feel any need to go fooling around with post-amp EQ. Not once. These are recorded straight to disk. No post processing.
You owe me a new keyboard. When I saw the title of your post - I spat my coffee out all over my laptop keyboard in pure disbelief LOL
Nice tones BTW. I like Are you sticking them up on Custom Tone?
Well, the truth is that I'm finally getting to know this unit well enough that I'm getting tones that are every bit as good as what I was getting on the Axe.
Sorry about your keyboard.
And I did sell my Axe-Fx.
I lied about the keyboard LOL. I'm an attention seeker as anyone who knows me well will tell you. But you really sold your Axe FX??? Wow - now I am seriously impressed as I know that would have taken a lot for you to do.
Yeah, I got good money for it too. Almost broke even. Bottom line, I can get what I need for recording from this HD for sure, and even direct to FOH at church if I need to. The AC30 on the HD is awesome. Give the Axe a run for its money...at 1/4 of the price.
I've gone back to tube half stacks for the band. Axe was complete overkill in that regard. Sounded great, but real tube amps sound better.
odd that you are digging the AC30... cause that is the one i'm currently infatuated with...
i love the crisp well defined clean sound and being able to dig in get a nice overdrive out of it.....
not sure what part is HD and what part is DT... all i can tell for certain is that i'm digging it so much that i can't seem to put it down for more than a few minutes.
That sounds really-really good, and if you say it can replace your Axe-Fx then that says a lot too (I know you have a good ear for tone). But personally, I am going to hold off for a while to see if they got all the hardware and software bugs worked out, I really don't want to go through another X3L experience
timowens wrote:

Yeah, me neither. Far as I know, the shipping firmware is as bug free as it gets. And hardware doesn't appear to be a problem. They've got those footswitches worked out now. And the case is ALL METAL
That is a hysterical thread title considering that other huge thread.
From everything I have heard so far it seems like Pod is fatter than the Axe. Im not saying its better because I haven't heard enough but I never heard too many fat tubey tones from Axe. Most were extremely hi-fi, which is its strength, very pristine, but too clinical. But my guess is that it can be dialed in, with all its settings, to a much more fuzzy tone but most users favored a less chewy sound.
What really chaps my azz is that Line6 didnt include more control over the amps internals---they dont seem to understand that was one of the huge draws of the Axe. When you can basically build your own amp..you have so many places to go if you dont like the default amps setting they use.
I also agree that a real amp, unless the DT50 turns out to be great, is the way to go live just because its so much easier to get the tried and true voicing that has fit in with a band, frequency wise, since--forever.

I for one am glad they didn't. I think things start getting really anal when you start down that route. How many people build their own Marshalls? You use what Marshall give you. Maybe you'll change the valves but that's it for most people. Really, too much tinkering destroys creativity. I don't think it's a case of Line 6 not understanding - maybe they understand their target audience very well (if they're like me). Frankly I don't want to be building a delay effect from scratch, just give me a friggin' tape echo and I'm off.
+1, and I own an AXE-FX Ultra

Maybe that's because Fractal went completely anal by exposing properties nobody should probably ever mess with. B+ capacitance? Sure, I went as far as to modify the bright cap values to my tastes. But power tube bias parameters? I bought that modeler to get away from having to bias tubes.
If Line6 wants to expose some USEFUL additional parameters, that would be fine by me:
For instance:
Just those two parameters would be enough for most tweakers. If they want to include a bright switch and cap values, that'd be cool too.
Looks like you are not the only one!!

Man those tone sound good!
This kind of reminds me of some of my friends who complain about the Iphone. They go on and on about how they can root their Droids (which I actually own a Droid, but haven't rooted it), and they complain about Apple tying user's hands. I think the fact is, though, the vast majority of people who buy phones don't care about that. They just want a phone that works with the ability to get apps they like.
I have no desire to build an amp. I hate changing tubes in my amps. The limit of my customization as it relates to amps is changing the speaker in a few of my amps. I don't want to change caps or pots - even virtual ones. I just want to have quick access to some good core tones that inspire me to play.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Pair arrested in Rutland street disruptionTwo men were arrested Sunday night in Rutland after police from three agencies were called to disperse a crowd that gathered over a dispute on School Street.
More than 40 people were reportedly involved in a series of heated verbal and physical confrontations in the city's southwest neighborhood, Rutland Police Sgt. John Sly said.
"A lot of people came out to watch or get involved," Sly said.
In what he described as a "convoluted sequence of events" police were initially called to 36 Meadow Street at 4:23 p.m. for a reported fight.
At the scene, Sly said police found about 10 people arguing about the theft of a cell phone and a missing hat.
Sly said police left the scene believing that the parties would stay separated. But more than three hours later they were called back when some of the same people involved in the earlier dispute moved to 79 School St. where a crowd had
The size of the gathering was so great that city police called for backup from Vermont State Police and the Rutland County Sherriff's Department as well as another shift of officers coming on duty in the city.
Police also arrested two participants — 19-year-old Tiler Cormia and Nicholas Prior, 20, both of Rutland — on charges of disorderly conduct.

It's not only communication between entertainment creators and fans that's becoming common, but also a creative dialogue. Anna Pinkert at Spinoff Online wrote about the benefits of embracing slash and other fan creations. "At a recent event, a reporter showed The Avengers star Mark Ruffalo a series of drawings of his character snuggling with Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. He began giggling, and then even made up captions for one of the cartoons, "Would you like a gummy worm?" Better yet, he told the reporter, "I endorse [this art] 100 percent. You know what it is? It's open-source creativity." She suggests that "[h]omoerotic fan art might be a new signal that you've arrived in Hollywood. People know your face (and your abs) well enough to do 30 sketches of you embracing another star." At least some actors are ready to invite fans to play.
Not that fans haven't always known about published works that have had their serial numbers filed off, but apparently the wider world is taking notice. Book Riot took a tongue-in-cheek look at YA literature to speculate on which of its works might secretly be fanfiction. "By now we know that Twilight spawned not one but TWO works of fan-fiction that became hot publishing properties...What's super-amusing about this is that all the books in the Twilight series are Stephenie Meyers' fan-fiction-y versions of her favorite classics...I have a feeling there's more popular YA out there that's secretly fan-fiction and am going to put on my Girl Detective hunting cap and jump right in and start guessing." Among her choices: "The Fault in Our Stars is just Dawson's Creek if both Pacey and Joey had cancer" and "Matched by Ally Condie is obviously just fan-fiction for The Selected Works of Dylan Thomas."
The Links Roundup posts are getting a new name! The Communications Committee has been using the #OTWFannews hashtag for them at Twitter for a while as it's a more distinctive name for the series and a clearer name for their content. OTW Fannews is meant to be a selective look at discussions of fandom, and issues affecting fans, in both traditional and non-traditional media venues. It also includes interviews where OTW staffers and volunteers have taken part, or discussions of the organization appear.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (C) visits the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, 350 km (217 miles) south of Tehran, April 8, 2008. REUTERS/Presidential official website/Handout
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has informed the U.N. nuclear agency that it plans to use more modern uranium enrichment centrifuges at its Natanz plant, a diplomat said on Thursday.
Such a step could enable Iran to refine uranium faster than it can at the moment and increase concerns in the West and Israel about the goals of Tehran nuclear program.
Western power suspect Iran of seeking to develop atomic bombs, a charge Iran denies.
