Major Floodwaters Prompting National Guard Evacuations on LBI
Long Beach Police Chief: 'All we're worried about is making people safe.'
At the tip of Long Beach Island, ocean waters may be beginning to meet bay waters, as police, working with the National Guard, scramble to evacuate holdouts off the island.
Long Beach Township Police Chief Anthony Deely told Patch that there are several "pick up" points along the island for people wanting to evacuate, including High Point Volunteer Fire Company, Ship Bottom Police Department, Long Beach Township Police Department, and Engleside Avenue in Beach Haven.
As of this afternoon, more than 100 people have been helped to the pick up points, where they are then transported by National Guard vehicles and busses over the bridge to the Southern Regional evacuation center. He advised people to call for assistance.
"If you are on the island and cannot get to a pick up point, please stay where you are, call the police department, and give us details of where you are, who is there, how many, and give us a contact number." Deely said.
Deely said emergency crews were trying to capitalize on a "limited window" of a "low tide" this afternoon to evacuate more people off the island - although today's low tide was as high as a regular high tide for LBI.
Asked by a Patch reporter whether the ocean has met the bay at any point on the island, he said: "I would say that's a true statement," noting reports of such activity in Holgate. He then confirmed one report that the ocean had breached the dunes in certain parts of the township, but added, "we can't control the rumor mill at this point, all we're worried about is making people safe."
Across the Causeway bridge, Lt. Thomas Dellane told Patch the Southern evacuation center was expecting about another 100 people from the island this afternoon.
He said Stafford police are conducting rescues by boats only in areas like Mud City, Cedar Bonnet Island, and Beach Haven West since these areas are flooded. He said the Township has made about 45 rescues today.
Anyone in need of assistance in evacuating in Stafford should call 609-597-8581.

I am in the same boat as you. I found out on the last day of school that my position was not going to be available in the fall. This made me mad for several reasons, the biggest being that the principal waited until 30 min before school was over for the year to tell me. Not professional in my book. Anywho I've been interviewing and trying for anything, even outside of teaching, and I'm hoping for something soon as well. Good luck!

Cardiff Blues have been handed some encouraging news ahead of Sunday's Heineken Cup fixture against Toulon, with Sam Warburton expected to play.
Following a check-up with Cardiff specialists, the Blues can confirm that their captain and openside flanker will not require surgery on his finger.

"However, it is expected that Sam will be fit to play against Toulon on Sunday."

Jewels, movement, delicate layering: what's not to love about this stunning cocktail dress by Nicole Bakti 6416? Just begging to be taken out on the town for an evening of dancing, this gown's mini ruched skirt transitions in back to a draped length of the same flirtatious, gauzy fabrics, creating magic with every whisper of wind. Jewels adorn the fitted bodice and rounded strap, which circles the neck to drop into a stylish T-strap and cutout, putting more glamor into an already fabulous gown.

He has struck political gold as the maverick mayor who has steered London smoothly through the Summer Games (so far). Boris Johnson, a member of Prime Minister David Cameron's governing Conservative Party, is becoming a favorite for any future race to replace the current leader. Unlike Cameron, who couldn't win Britain's 2010 election outright, Johnson has twice been voted in as the capital's mayor. Yet Johnson, known for his offbeat humor — but also for occasional remarks which have upset minority groups — insists voters couldn't take him seriously. Last week, crowds roared with laughter as he tested out a 45-meter (148-foot) high zip line in an east London park — only to become stuck halfway along, dangling in mid-air. Johnson is self-aware enough to realize this kind of thing: "How could anybody elect a prat who gets stuck on a zip wire?" — David Stringer - Twitter http://twitter.com/david_stringer ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

The treat will feature a strip of bacon and bacon crumbles atop a fudge and caramel sundae. As for the nutrition value of the dessert — there isn't any. The sundae features 510 calories, eight grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar.
VIDEO: Mary J. Blige Sings About Fried Chicken In Pulled Burger King Commercial
Twenty years ago we would have saw this sundae and fainted. However, in 2012, after years of watching fast food joints release their own monstrosities — and after watching Paula Deen get famous by cooking up eatable diabetes — we have become numb to dishes like this.
We're used to it now.

That last set was not great. I got broke with a mediocre service game and started a bit slow while Jster was on. Then I got my return going and Jster struggled a bit when we struggled to break Chuck H in 2 tough multiple duece games. Regardless, we still got it to a TB and I missed a tough low volley from Jeffro, hit a mediocre return, and then some. I was not ON early in the set nor extremely well in the TB. That sucked...................good practice though. How is the tire feeling Jster and what tennis do you have planned for the next couple days? Some rest days I expect?

STEMS Responding Quickly, Still Faces Struggles
By: Kristin Anderson
Updated: May 22, 2012
"We're getting a good, timely response to calls. It's only taking us one to two minutes to get out the door," said David Allman, director of operations.
But while response time has been good, STEMS is still struggling. They're lacking volunteers, experiencing a shortage of drugs and are looking for more equipment.
"We've got all types of equipment that we need," said Allman. "We need stretchers, we need new cardiac monitors. And all of that takes money."
And it's because of the Medicaid cuts that makes tax dollars so important.
"They're continuing to cut Medicaid reimbursement. So we're working through that," Allman said. "We heavily rely on this Taylor County subsidy to help fund our payroll and help make sure that that truck is going to be available."
By cutting this reimbursement, insurance companies are making it difficult for emergency response services to provide their own funds for the necessities.
"That's money we can't ask for from the county because they're already helping us out. They don't have the extra money to give us for equipment so we rely on insurance reimbursement to get new equipment, invest in our employees and education and stuff," Allman said.
And even though stems is working through the bumps, they are using the first year as a year to learn.
"We're working through this first year. It's a growing process and a learning process. And we'll evaluate it at the end of the year, you know some things that we could do better and have a better update towards the end of the year," said Allman.

She has not been offered Clinton's position, but she is suspected to top the list of possible successors. At a news conference after his re-election, Obama called Republicans' criticism of Rice "outrageous" and said the critics should go after him instead.
Rice has said neither she nor the administration intended to mislead Americans and they updated them as the information evolved.
Morell took the reins of the spy agency two weeks ago after the sudden resignation of director David Petraeus after revelations of an extramarital affair.
Later this week, Rice will meet with Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the top Republican on the homeland security committee, which is investigating the Benghazi attack. Collins has not been as critical of Rice as the three other senators, but has said she needs to explain what happened.
A spokesman for the director of national intelligence has said that those talking points were prepared by the intelligence community, and not modified by other governmental agencies.

This departmental output expense covers research that is largely science based (stock assessment, environmental assessment), and other activities relating to gathering and analysing data about New Zealand's fisheries to support decisions about sustainable utilisation, as well as the provision of information on the biodiversity of New Zealand's marine environment. Research costs represent existing projects that have been consulted on in past years, and proposed projects.
Provide the information required to ensure the sustainable use of New Zealand's fisheries resources, by scientifically evaluating:
status of fisheries resources
sustainable yields from fisheries resources
the effects of fishing on the aquatic environment, including on the viability of associated or dependent species, and on biological diversity
alternative strategies for achieving the desired level of yield while avoiding, remedying or mitigating adverse effects of fishing on the aquatic environment
analysis of relevant cultural factors that may need to be included in the management decision process
the specific measures needed to implement the appropriate management strategy.
In 2006/07, the appropriation for this departmental output expense is $29,138,000, a reduction of $504,000 from the 2005/06 SOI.
Utilisation and sustainability of New Zealand's fisheries resources measured
The Fisheries Research Services proposed for 2006/07 are the outcome of the research planning process carried out from August to November 2005.
Research on stock monitoring and assessment underpins the setting of sustainable catch limits within the QMS.
The Ministry is also taking initial steps to address effects of fishing on the environment. The revised medium term research plan for the aquatic environment sets out a programme of research into the effects of fishing on marine ecosystems (including seamounts) and protected species (seabirds and marine mammals).
Specific changes include:
A $1,000,000 transfer from this output to Departmental Output Expense - Fisheries Operations - output New Zealand fisheries utilisation and sustainability reported to underpin the development of fisheries plans.
An amount of $500,000 set aside to contribute funding for research into mapping benthic biodiversity to be undertaken as part of Oceans 2020 in 2006/07.
New initiative funding of $200,000 to commence research into the effects of bottom trawling and ecosystem effects of fishing.
Observer services provided
The observer delivery plan for 2006/07 is expected to deliver a total of around 7,300 observer days for the three clients of the service - the Ministry, the Department of Conservation and industry stakeholders.

The match-ups have been announced for next season's B1G/ACC Challenge. There will be twelve games featuring all twenty-four teams in the two conferences. In what will be the 14th annual event, the B1G will attempt to win its 4th straight after losing the first 10.
ESPN's preseason #1 Indiana Hoosiers will host the #11 North Carolina Tar Heels in one of the two headlining games of the event. The other features an up and coming #6 NC State Wolfpack team traveling to Ann Arbor to take on the #8 Michigan Wolverines in what may be an early season top-10 match-up if the preseason rankings hold. Both of those games will be on Tuesday, November 27. The following day, the headliner is surely the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes at the #15 Duke Blue Devils. Coach K's squad will be looking for revenge after getting destroyed in Columbus this past season.
Here are all 12 match-ups:

4 Factory Performance Upgrades You Can Afford
Can't buy an AMG Benz? These bolt-on parts make speed, and for small cash.
The overkill machines from BMW's M and Mercedes' AMG divisions always make a lead paragraph exciting, which is why I'm going to mention the phrases "tri-turbo diesel" and "Cold War relic with 612 horsepower." That is a cheap shot, and I'm not ashamed to use it on you. The Mercedes E63 really is my favorite sedan in the world, and no doubt you'd like to stop reading and see the monsters behind those links. Very badly.
Anyone who loves cars knows what I mean. But while we appreciate the German obsession for ludicrous speed, the average car buyer can't relate. What about real-world performance, the kind that simple, factory bolt-on parts offer, but for the price of colored Porsche seatbelts and wheel caps?
These four cars below fit that description. Whether installed by a dealer or mixed and matched with your own two hands, these parts squeeze more speed for relatively modest cost -- and without voiding your warranty.
Volvo XC70 Polestar
The New England mom wagon I'm driving this week has a factory hot chip, a reflashed electronic control unit that boosts power and torque without compromising fuel economy. The ECU is a cheap, easy part to modify, since spark timing and other critical engine variables can be changed instantly with just new software.
The $1,495 upgrade, developed by Swedish tuner Polestar (which also builds Volvo race cars) boosts horsepower from 300 to 325 and torque from 325 to 355 lb-ft, and lowers the peak torque rmp. A similar upgrade is available on the rest of the Volvo lineup; you'll know it's a racier Volvo from the powder-blue badge on the rear. Once the transmission wakes up, the XC70 Polestar is pretty darn quick -- not to mention pretty. Because there are no suspension or transmission upgrades, I think the Polestar package makes more sense on the C30 or S60 T6, which features adjustable steering weighting and stiffer springs.
Honda Accord HFP Coupe
The current Accord coupe, a rare sight anywhere, is a handsome reminder that Honda does make exciting cars. It's available with a 6-speed manual transmission and a V6 engine, an almost-extinct combo nowadays. The HFP (Honda Factory Performance) edition is a subtle, grown-up upgrade versus the young-and-wild CR-Z Mugen.
But unlike the CR-Z, the HFP upgrade actually upgrades the performance beyond side skirts and chin spoilers. The $3,443 package, installed by a Honda dealer, also drops the ride height by more than half an inch with firmer springs and shocks. Together with 19-inch alloy wheels and tires, the Accord HFP, already with 271 horsepower, is a good fill-in now that the S2000 is gone. For real savings, just grab the $885 suspension kit and throw on some gummier tires.
Ford Fiesta B-Spec
The World Rally Championship does not stop in America, and, as with soccer, Americans don't seem to notice the sport's insane popularity elsewhere. But that doesn't mean you can't build your own Fiesta rally car from scratch and run it in the New England Forest Rally. For $38,795, plus the cost of a Fiesta, you can.
If you're not interested in a full-on race car, B-Spec parts are available piecemeal from Ford Racing. Try your hand at short-throw shifters ($200), high-flow mufflers ($739), autocross suspension kits ($993) -- even an option to remove the air conditioning ($99). It doesn't get much easier to show up at an SCCA track event, have a blast and drive home.
Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD
The FJ is the only cool Toyota. The retro styling, which has real roots like the Jeep Wrangler, stands for serious off-road cred (so do its three windshield wipers). All the better, then, to install a supercharger from Toyota Racing Development on the 4.0-liter V6 engine.
It's a decent boost, from 260 to 304 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque to 334. The $4,500 kit comes with a reflashed ECU, an intercooler and high-flow fuel injectors; get it installed at a Toyota dealer or you'll lose most of the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. If you're staying on-road, grab some 4-piston TRD brakes and performance pads. For big, bad-boy dirt tires, the 16-inch copper bead-lock wheels are too sick for words.

I actually was shocked to see the price that high for a muffler but found that the site here is wrong on the product. According to the Fordracing website, it is a an actual exhaust package upgrade, not just the muffler. It is from the cat back. 739 isn't that far off for an exhaust system from the catalytic converter back.
739 isn't that far off for an exhaust system from the catalytic converter back.
After you mentioned that I had to look it up. For my RX-7, a cat-back is $655 and $700-$750 for a later RX-8. For the full exhaust, it's about $1200 for a quality complete system (from exhaust ports to the tips).
So I agree, $735 for a cat back is probably right.
Ford will add buttons, knobs to its much-maligned MyFord Touch system.

I'm using a Neo4j database with various node classes and would like to search through the parameter strings of one particular node class. For example, if I have three nodes in class.MyNode, one with String name = "foo", another with name = "bar" and a third with name = "car", if I search for "ar", I would like to return a list containing nodes "bar" and "car".
The following cypher query works perfectly well in Neo4j's data browser :
However, when I add it to my repository, it returns all the nodes of class.MyNode and not the subset I need. Here is the code I've been using for the repository:Code:START n=node:__types__(className='com.myapp.MyNode') WHERE n.name=~ /(?i).*xyz.*/ RETURN n
And here is the node:Code:public interface MyNodeRepository extends GraphRepository<MyNode>, RelationshipOperationsRepository<MyNode>, NamedIndexRepository<MyNode>{ @Query( "START n=node:__types__(className='com.myapp.MyNode')"+ "WHERE n.name=~ /(?i).*{0}.*/"+ "RETURN n") Set<MyNode> getNodes(String search); }
Code:@NodeEntity public class MyNode { @Indexed(indexType=IndexType.FULLTEXT, indexName="name") @Fetch private String name; etc }
I'm passing parameters just like the bible suggests and I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this doesn't work.
Any thoughts on how to fix this would be much appreciated!!!

More on 'necessity' of air-conditioning
In answer to the May 24 letter, "Air-conditioning not a necessity for schools," if the above statement is true then why are the majority of our outlying schools so equipped? I can just imagine if these schools were asked to get rid of their non-essential cooling systems it would be a sure bet that this would create a morass of unhappy campers.
Having seen and experienced the sub-par conditions under which some of our city schools have to operate, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the only reason they don't have air is that the good patrons who support those schools simply do not have the revenue it takes to enjoy these kinds of privileges.
Conversely, our outlying schools are awash in funds that make it possible for them to enjoy these kinds of non-necessary privileges. If everything is to be equal across the board, then all our schools should be so equipped.
Otherwise, if this equality cannot be shared by all, then none of our schools should have it. Especially since air-conditioning is not a necessity.
If you think this letter is about whether it's possible to attend non-air conditioned classes (as I had to) without suffering any side effects, which I didn't, and then you've missed the point of this letter. It is about equality.
P.S. If you live outside the city school system and cannot find the means to support these schools, maybe you could write in testifying how air-conditioning creates a better learning environment, not to mention how it is beneficial to the well-being of your children and the teachers who teach them.

Veterans Day parade one of best I've seen
Congratulations and thanks to the many people, who made this year's Veterans Day parade. It was of the best I have seen in several years. From where we were sitting, it looked like a nice-sized, very appreciative crowd.
Thanks to the motorcyclists, the Fort Wayne Police Department, the Allen County Sheriff's Department and three fire departments. Thanks to the high school bands - South Side in uncomfortably warm full uniforms and Concordia Lutheran in more practical short and T-shirts after an exhausting day in Indianapolis the day before. Thanks to Michael Floyd's Windsong group, the 40 and 8 engine, the relatives' groups and to all those I can't remember who marched in 90-plus degree heat.
Thanks to the veterans – from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and two Gulf wars – who marched, rode or watched with us.
But the most thanks goes to those we remembered today –those still serving far away from their loved ones in heat far hotter than what we endured for one hour. They don't get to go home when the parade is over. They stay in the heat and hope they will see their families again to protect us so we can enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.
And thanks to those who never returned and to those who came home in a box draped with the American flag. Draftees no more, they volunteered to do what had to be done. Watching a parade just doesn't seem like enough.

Playing fast, loose is new standard for GOP
Republican George Will claims Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren "plays fast, loose with ancestry" because Donald Trump lies about President Obama's birthplace, while Mitt Romney plays fast, loose with his claims of job creation at Bain.
False equivalency, huh?
Will's politics are ugly enough to choke a buzzard, but that's the new standard for the GOP.

i just got my rejection letter for the 2nd time.
i was so confident this time in my skills and my growth. but it wasn't enough. and so, i'm asking for honest feedback.
life drawing portion
i'd appreciate it folks. help me realize what i need to work on.
I maybe wrong, since I'm still a growing artist, but from what I've learned from other accepted portfolios and critiques these are my thoughts:
-First off, the skills are definately there. Just as Meri said, you have a lot of great works that rival accepted portfolios. But I don't see a lot of yourself in the work. Just like Ambar said. I see a lot of past portfolios.You put more of yourself into the supplement, meaning you took more risks and put more personality. Maybe you could exagerate more in figures next time around.
-Second, I think you had too many completed pieces. It was really overpowering for me to see so many completed works that I didn't see any works in progress or as least a sketchbook full of really quick gestures or scenery. I really would have liked to see a section of gestures where you tried to tell a story with as little lines as possible. Once again as ambar said, I saw the characters but not enough story.
Actually, thats all I have to say. I thought I had more but now I'm blank xD I hope I helped somehow. I liked the portfolio overall and it REALLY must have been stiff competition this year for you to not have made it. Your confidence this year was not unwarrented because it was a good portfolio. If not this year, definately next year. Good Luck! ^^
yes to both questions. she said it was a strong body of work but never really went in depth and seemed short.
and brandi, you make a good point about all the pieces being the same amount of finished.
thanks for all the feedback so far.
Aww man that's awful. As mentioned, part of it might be the rising competition. The last two years of incoming students here has been ridiculous. In all honesty though, you've got a good portfolio. Congrats on being competent and confident in your skills, because you are. Just gotta keep pushing forward....
Ok, first of all, you put way too much in your portfolio. 29 figure drawings - 19 supplemental drawings - and a 2+ minute animation. That's a lot of stuff! I don't know if the portfolio requirements changed but I think there was the basic section, supplemental, and optional animation, and the only number of required pieces was 20. I sent 20 drawings (maybe 21...), 15 or so of which were figures, and the others were still from life (self portrait, landscape, etc.), a 5.5x8 100pg sketchbook full of animal/people watching, and that was it. They were simply and cleanly packaged and labeled w/ lots of attention paid to order. No fancy packaging, just my work in clean sleeves in a purple paper folder. Point being - you only want to put stuff in if it's your ABSOLUTE BEST. If they give you a minimum stick to that. It does not say that you are not hardworking, capable, have grown a lot, or house a variety of skill sets if you do not put a lot it your portfolio. What it does speak to is confidence, direction, and the ability to be clear and concise. Even at portfolio day in high school I remember the cal arts rep saying that I had confidence in the line of my drawings... Even on their website they say that their goal is to teach students to become filmmakers, not just trained in the tools but capable and confident enough in their own artistic abilities to devise and carry out a vision. Confidence goes a long way in portfolios wether real or imagined. Even when ringling reps came to my high school (their minimum is 10 pieces) Eric said to go ahead and submit 9 because it would speak to such confidence in your work. I'm a rule follower and stuck to 10, but that idea says a lot. Even with professional demo reels, the people reviewing those only look at the first 10 seconds before taking them out of the dvd player. In just the first few seconds of animation, or images in the case of a portfolio you can (or at least should) be able to tell wether or not the person has the necessary skills to carry them and perform. If you keep their attention in the first "10 seconds" great! But don't give them any reason to doubt it in the material that follows. It only takes one structural failure to topple a tower - so everything in your portfolio should be your absolute best - and not necessarily your personal best or the work you're most proud of - because that's no what they're looking for. Stand back and look objectively at what is the best from objective eyes and what best strongly demonstrates the skills and handling of ideas that they are looking for.
Animation: Drop it. Yes it is your first film. yes you are proud of it. Yes, it is a great achievement on your part and you should rightly be proud of it. Does that make it portfolio material? no. Technically speaking, the animation is weak and lacking, screen direction gets confusing in places, and it is far from visually ground breaking. It's not bad at all. It is your first crack at film making, which is great, but first times tell you more of what you need to learn than what you already know. And that's cool, because you're going to calarts to learn! I don't think they'd want to see how you animate or construct filmic stories - they're going to teach you that there and help you develop as an animator and film maker. What they want to see is if you've got the skills to succeed in the program. Strong fundamentals in depicting "life" from your vantage point that they can build off of. So yeah, ditch the animation in the portfolio.
Supplemental: Really isn't helping support you here. Anatomy/structure isn't that strong in these pieces and all those people pin ups aren't using strong design or composition and are weak in story to boot. They're just drawings you did of imagined people - but they're not engaged in anything interesting. They're not moving, they're not interacting, they're not ALIVE - and at the same time they aren't doing anything interesting from a purely aesthetic perspective. This section could be done away with or whittled down to 5. What I liked and why:
-day of the dead image: poses, eyelines, and staging hint to a story. There's the possibility of some interaction - wants and conflicts - and that intrigues me. Stylistically, the bold black and white is interesting, supports the piece, and the design of the figures plays well with things. It tells me this person can make artistic decisions to support the idea of a piece - and I like that. Compositionally, the window makes a really interesting shape, and those lanterns repeating back into space is a nice touch. I like the skulls in the left foreground too. They not only help tell the story but also help establish space, corner her in, and are visually interesting.
-fortune teller: I mostly like this for the style. It's got an interesting play of shape and line within the composition and I like that. What's more, head tilt, mood, and the way she looks out to the viewer confronts us and makes us wonder - I sense story!
-Rumors: interesting way to stylize the figures. It's pretty, but at the same time a little ugly w/ the coloration on the face and such (not ugly aesthetically, but when paired w/ society's idea) and that works! Again - here you are making artistic decisions to support the idea. The background is very bland and compositionally the piece doesn't sing, but here you're hinting to ideas in interpersonal dynamics. That's intriguing, relatable, and story fodder.
-brainwashed: figures in a landscape - that's good stuff. I don't know really what's going on, but that's ok because I can tell that something is and that intrigues me. Compositionally this could be more interesting or dynamic, but I like seeing figures in an environment doing things, that's good business.
-comic play: cool colors. Interesting panels and variation where appropriate between them. Stylistically it's pretty cool, and you've got a story going on inside w/ interaction and expressions (I'd like to see more body language though! -pantomime is a big thing in animation and story telling drawings!). This one stood out most of all from your comics, so, why add more? One comic tells me that you can make comics. I don't need to see any others.
Out of all 19 those were the five that I thought said something interesting or spoke to your artistic skills. Don't water down your best stuff with everything else.
Figure: After looking through all of them (impressions recorded below), you definitely could have left a lot out. you have some really killer drawings, but then you've got some that really dragged things down, and you're portfolio is only as good as the weakest thing in it. Really though, there's some great stuff in here. I really really like it. I think you've got the chops to get in, you just gave them too many reasons not to accept you. Keep it up, this is great stuff.
Jotting these down as I go....
1985: nice. strong start. I want to let you in.
2092: oh, hey what happened. ditch it. light and shadow masses look like you tried to indicate them, but end up wishy washy and confusing. Face weird, proportions odd, arm feels disconected, and somethings up with the legs.
1416: ok... interesting colors.. line quality is pretty fair. Weight is a big issue though. leg is popping up and is she holding her head up? Gold star for her because I've never seen a model do that for a pose. Twist of the body gets confusing w/ her breast so far to the left like that.
1247: I like this one. maybe not the best drawing but it makes a good impact overall. that kind of rendering, paired with her pose and expression, create a really nice mood effect. There's a lot more sense of weight in this drawing than those others previous. Hands and feet are handles nicely and communicate expressively. Flow of the pose along the front of her torso is great- I think that's where you're getting a lot of the sense of weight from - and it's visually interesting. The outer contour of her back gets lumpy, confusing, and unpleasing to the eye. In retrospect, a simple contour for the back, paired with that more complicated contour for the front of her torso could play really nicely aesthetically. The head and arms already support that idea too - and it could serve the emotion to posing a composed and strong edge for the back w/ the tumultuous contours hidden to her front.
1989: I LIKE THIS A LOT. great drawing. why wasn't this first? Structurally the shoulder is small, weak, and doesn't connect well. but there's lots of great weight, feeling, and super strong markmaking, w/ appropriately applied variety and confidence! Compositionally the space the the image, depth, interplay of light and dark shapes, and relationships of line work really nicely. do more like this! Drawings with strengths like this sing your praises.
1417: pretty cool. I'm not fawning over it like that last one, but it works well on a lot of levels. clear, interesting, and structurally sound. A neat variation in style too.
2084: ditch ditch ditch. Not structurally solid and not designed interestingly. depreciates your skill rather than praising it, and you do not want that. Really, pair these next to 1989 or 1247 and you'll see a HUGE difference.
1372: cool. Not the greatest drawing overall but you're trying new things and taking them in good directions. I like that. Most of all, could use a greater sense of weight (probably right hip area is the most troublesome and getting a strong flow of the torso like in 1247. Face and hands are lookin good. Twist in the body is good in the stomach and breasts (is that a little atmosphere leaving the further breast red and giving the forground one a line? nice!). The twist and space kind of gets killed off in other parts though where you got a little too heavy with your line, ie, both shoulders are the same line weight as each other -and all the way around- which flattens them out visually and kills that dynamic sense of overlap in the body that your were starting to get.
2088: ok. Top left should go. Top right is cool, interesting, and effectively executed - I'd keep it. Bottom is meh. Pretty ok actually, better than quite a few of your other ones. structurally sound, pretty good flow.
1343: yep, really nice. lines work well. watercolor rendering speaks well to the forms in space - describes them well. that little tilt on the head and delicacy in the line work is nice. colors are intersting and the variation within them works well.
1379: yep ditch. I actually like this one a lot more getting to see it up close and noodle around in the details, but overall I still don't think it works as a whole, which is a vital test. Head and torso are structurally unsound. line is sketchy as hell and does not flow (not that could be used as a style and all, but it's got to have the other elements playing along with it, and right now they're not so this drags it down). Lighting is high contrast and inconsistent/confusing. color goes gray/flat/blackish in places, effectively dying. Cover up the top though and the legs themselves are actually a REALLY nice drawing. Delicate lines, subtleties of tilts, form, and atmosphere, + that blue fading off to a grayed violet over that small distance is nice.
1212: COOL! gestures are great! :D look at all these cool marks and confidence! Pose gets a little confusing with a lack of emphasis for any part of the body, but still a really nice drawing over all!
1388: AWESOME! I feel that that man is touching his face! he's slumping from not haven fully woken up. this is great stuff! cool line and variation! The one on the right might topple over at any moment, but these drawings are really nice. I'm jealous. good energy and suggestion of form. The guy on the left's head is not rendered at all, and yet I have no doubts of how it exists in space and relates to his hand and the rest of them.
20982: These are great drawings! Top two on the right could maybe go.
2010: these are good too! top right is awesome. Top left not so much. Left gets weak in that the torso is so odd, that chunk taken out of is back really confuses how his spine works. Guy on the right is great though.
1982: why is this in your portfolio? ditch it. You just built up my opinion of you and your work with all those other cool drawings and then put stuff in here like that that makes me question you, kill my enthusiasm, and reasses my opinion of your skills. Keep your portfolio to the minimum, don't give me these opportunities.
1987: hey, pretty nice. Not the best, faces gets kind of odd, hands and feet could use a touch more work. but pretty nice. interesting to look at too.
2098: hey this is goooood! This figure exists in space and is real to me. There's lots of life here in the drawing itself and in the markmaking. Rendering on the leg flattens it out and the shape of the ribcage gets wonky on her left, but really really nice. WAY better than you're second figure drawing. Put them next to each other and see!
1984: this is great! good figure drawing, totally plussed by eyelines/expression, handling of medium, color choices, composition, and abstract speech bubble. This is awesome. You've got solid drawing, mixing media, and bringing things together to create an interesting idea - I want to see you make a film.
1973: not your best at all. Still better than some of the other stuff in here. Line works out in places but too much of it is working against you. ditch it.
2103: AWSOME: totally great rendering/stylistic choices on top of fairly solid drawing foundations. What's more, you've made it an interesting composition through your use of color and shape to lead the eye to the focal point, the strongest part of the image.
1455: this is such a great drawing!!! so subtle rich and alive!
1452: not as good as the other I just saw, but still beats out some of your other stuff.
1039: woah, I don't know what's going on but I'm intrigued. Pretty solid drawing, especailly in that turned head. Justaposition of line to that graphic mass plays pretty interestingly.
1037: not my favorite thing personally, but really quite solid in drawing and form.
1347: why is this in your portfolio? Actually it's kind of interesting the more I look at it. But at first look I'm more confused as to what I'm looking at and where to look than anything else.
1979: interesting... figure, kind of weird. chair, pretty cool. this one's a mixed bag for me. It definitely holds up the portfolio on the different end though.
2158:....how big was your portolio .__. are these 18x24 drawings? I guess that's pretty normal... but with drawings that large, that's more physically to move your eyes over and look at. even more reason to cut the number of pieces down.
Layout-wise, this is how I would have done things
start strong, end strong, go some interesting places in between. Only the best. Like I said, you really do have great stuff. Just use persuasive selection of work and arrange it to take them on a short journey. You have lots of reasons for them to accept you, just don't give them reasons to not (drawings as reasons).
Hey Monica, sorry to hear you were rejected the second time, but by looking at your portfolio and comparing it to those who were accepted this year 2011 and 2010, I can see why. But please, don't be down by my comments; they are merely my opinions of your portfolio and I know YOU WILL GET BETTER, no matter what anyone tell you.
Anyway, I have seen your animation and browsed your portfolio, and I believe it can be A LOT stronger.
I first watched your animation, and I agree with many who believed this piece should be left out. When I watch this animation, I don't see anything special. The movement of your characters were unbelieveable and unrealistic , composition of each shot was not effective, the characters are not strong enough in design and their personality did not emerge within the film, etc. In actuality, it waas pretty awkward for me to watch it. Animation of characters running, sitting down, eating, or any other actions WITH expression and personality are a plus, in my opinion (if they are good).
When I browsed through your life drawing section of the portfolio, I saw some really strong pieces such as DSC_1985, I don't believe her proportions are wrong if you are accurately depicting her. DSC_1989, DSC_1212, DSC_2010 (bottom right one), DSC_1984, DSC_2103, DSC_1455 are the better ones from your portfolio. However, when I see your other life drawings, it seems you need a lot more practice and studying of the human anatomy and structures. Your proportions are a little off, there's very little difference in weight of linesin your drawings, I believe learning them will help you in drawing a figure more effectively either by attempting to draw realistically or experimentally.
In your third section, I really liked your comics, and I believe those are the better pieces in that section.
But where are the paintings from life? I'm not sure if they actually want to see thsi, but I believe it'd be a great addition to your portfolio if they are strong.
Don't worry! You'll do well if you just keep going at it. Have fun and enjoy drawing and you'll do fine. (: Good luck!
aw man i didnt even know there were so many replies i thought i made it so that the thread emailed me with updates. apparently it didnt! well thanks so much to everyone who has commented so far. i've read them all and it's helped set pointers and goals to hit. im ready to conquer!
also, when referring to a piece can you just include the link? i didnt title my pieces. those are all camera labels.
and dont feel like youre going to hurt my feelings or anything. i stay profressional and appreciate honesty.
Hi Monica ! There are a few pieces that I really love for example, DSC_2245,DSC_2246 and DSC_2240. I see some major improvement in these drawings and they definitely are stronger !!
There are some pieces that exhibits the lacking of understanding of balance in gesture drawing though, for example,
in DSC_2242, the model seems to me like she's sitting down, but the feeling of weight isn't there. Right now her right lap seems to be lifted up and her left lap doesn't seem to be supporting the right, and I think by getting that right already helps a little to project the feeling of weight in the model. She also seems like she's falling to her right with no support and her upper half body seems rigid. I guess the most important thing that's missing in this is her weight and her right leg's foreshortening that makes her look like she's partially standing/sitting.
In DSC_2237, her head seems to big for her body and her right arm seems to be forced a little too high up and pushed behind too much. There also should be more than a smooth curve on her right thigh now,like lines and constructions that suggests weight when a soft object interacts with a hard object.
In DSC_2230, her left foot looks odd as it's smaller compared to her right foot. Since it's a foreshortening and her left thigh is behind her right thigh, her left foot should look bigger in comparison to her right foot. Her left shoulder also seems to be flattened out like a straight line. Are those her fingers right below her hair ? If it is then it doesn't feel like they're in the right place.There's a 90 degrees construction that you can see in the overall of this drawing and it makes the whole drawing look static/rigid.
Keep going Monica, these are definitely improvements, I got a feeling you're gonna make it this time ! Keep posting !!! I would really love to see more from you !! :)
Meri Burgess said:
Well, my thoughts don't count for much, nor are they very informed. I liked your animation, I thought it was pretty good for someone who was trying it out for the first time. I also liked your comics as well. I think you have some pretty strong figure drawings, but I feel like maybe you put in too much and some of them may have been pulling you down. Some were super awesome and looked straight out of an accepted portfolio (DSC_1985, DSC_1417, DSC_2103 for example) but others not so much. I think you have all the skills, and honestly I'm a bit surprised you weren't accepted. It must have been a talented pool of applicants this year (which makes me all the more nervous, yikes) The review board always has surprises up their sleeves, but whatever it means, it's not the end of the world! Keep up with all the drawing and you're sure to succeed.
Hi... I saw your live drawing and your post. I might be too late for this post. but just some idea which come from my Lect. totally agree of what Meri Burgess says, some maybe pulling you down. too much of the drawing, choose maybe 10 very strong drawing will do and also ask you mentor/Lect or classmate to choose for you. you might be suprise that what other see and you is totally different. All the best and hope you get your idea job... Cheerios... Shanique
Yon Hui Lee, thank you for taking your time to critique. i respect your work and appreciate your feedback! and Shanique Moh, it's never too late to give me feedback. this will be an ongoing thread. thanks! i have returned with a new batch. i'm curious as to what i need to focus on more. i think my main issue is proportions and perhaps i need to focus on getting that down first--as well as focusing on shapes when drawing gestures. any other opinions?

Welcome everybody I'm Neil Cavuto introduced on Monday.
Signed into law on Tuesday big -- hope this day so urgent so fast what have they brought.
The New York's governor shoved aside a mandatory three day reviewed -- ran through that gun law.
Just -- and he -- little problem folks who actually stopped to read it are now confused by.
There's not.
The police are -- Fearing that a ban on magazine with more than seven bullets might also -- event the cops who he is at least twice that -- The governor's office -- non no no truth to that.
Saying and I quote police officers possessing evidence a glimpse of more than seven bullets are not a violation of this law and they never will be area.
So lawmakers are -- -- a lot of explicitly exempt the beliefs of the governor doesn't do so he himself -- that my next guest says all of this could have been avoided.
If the law wasn't rammed through in the first place.
New York Republican state senator -- -- -- voted against it.
Want to put -- -- drive to repeal it and urged all their fellow lawmakers to at least read it it would appear it would appears senator they did not.
Hence this mess now what what what he thinks they should do -- Well -- up and online petition.
To encourage residents in New York to come out and sign our petition.
And -- flip back he.
-- to sign the petition.
That's -- to sign a petition because some of what we believe in the law is unconstitutional.
-- -- the leaving the sites over the unconstitutional parts of it is that that is big enough now you have.
The basic features like disqualification.
On on you know the -- magazine rounds.
That would have been easily spot checked and even FactSet.
Had they just gone through it and and and run it by the police.
If you if you talking about the magazines -- right.
Going from ten to seven he added David they've dropped it the magazine that can't be any larger than seven and the interesting part is there is -- seven round magazine that's currently mate.
All right so.
Now they have to at least go back to the drawing board and read write this thing it's not just -- -- -- re submit something new which would be at the very it's an embarrassment.
Governor's office says that's not necessary you say it is line.
Well I -- it is law that so the -- is standing what I'm looking to do is to bring back parts of that lot to have it repealed.
And replaced by new legislation.
All right senator thank you apologist for some audio issues very very good having -- will keep will keep -- -- -- -- and it -- guys it's good to see you know it's like when you're in school -- at -- -- -- the last second you rush through you probably do that rate on.

The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great
by Eva Stachniak
Varvara is a maid at the court of the Empress Elizabeth of Russia in the 1740s who also acts as a spy, listening in on conversations, purloining letters, and gathering information for the empress. When a young German princess (who will eventually become Catherine the Great) is brought to court with the prospect of marrying her to the empress's nephew and heir, Varvara befriends her, even though it's dangerous for her to befriend anyone. I thought the setting was interesting. Readers who enjoy novels by Phillipa Gregory would probably like this one, too.

Stars on Ice is a marvelous figure skating show touring held mainly in the United States and Canada. Originally, the IMG (the International Management Group, a talent agency and a leading production company) decided to produce a vehicle for Scott Hamilton, its client, who had recently finished his work with Ice Capades, another traveling theatrical show. Scott Hamilton is one of the most famous American figure skaters. Being an Olympic gold medalist (1984, Sarajevo), he is well-known for his professional and very original skating. Now he skates only occasionally, currently being the producer of Stars on Ice.
The skating show appeared in 1986 and became very popular right away. Rosalynn Sumners, Kristi Yamaguchi, Kurt Browning, and Brian Orser are long-time participants of Stars on Ice. Conceived as an adult skating show, it did not involve any Smurfs or any cartoon characters, which were typical guests of other commercial skating performances at that time. Another idea was to get a small number of only elite skaters, who occasionally had to perform in duets, though solo numbers were most typical. In 1991 the Canadian show was launched, which is called Canadian Stars on Ice.
Stars on Ice started on a small budget; there were only a few shows in a month, held in small towns. The first shows cast included many famous American figure skates, like Dorothy Hamill, Rosalynn Sumners, Christ Harrison, Toller Cranston, Bill Fauver, Lea Ann Miller, Brian Pockar, Lisa Carey, and the current Stars on Ice producer Scott Hamilton. Six years after the first Stars on Ice performance, the IMG together with the promoter Bill Graham launched the so-called rival of the show, which was called Skating. As a result, the skating resources of the two tours were united. Several performers from Skating started working in Stars on Ice show. For instance, Sandra Bezic became the choreographer and the director of Stars on Ice for a couple of years, and recently, Christopher Dean took over her responsibilities.
Stars on Ice show tour is held not only in the United States and Canada. The professional figure skaters of the show conquered millions of European and Japanese hearts after the recent touring program in Europe and Japan. The 2006-2007 Stars on Ice tour will be its twenty-first season. The performances will be held in many states and cities. From January till April thirty-nine skating shows will be held all over the country. If you dont want to miss captivating figure skating show performed by the most notable American skaters, buy the tickets right now. Since the skating program has been really popular not only among figure skating fans, but just people enchanted by the talent of their favorite stars, the ticket number is limited. The show ticket offers much to see and to enjoy. It is different, vivid and catching each time, and you will never regret watching it live. Our safe ticket provider Vividseats.com offers quick and secure ticket service to satisfy the needs of each customer. Dont waste your time, go to Vividseats.com to purchase your best Stars on Ice tickets.

Bethesda Metro Bus Bay Could Close for Two Years
Renovations to a private garage will prompt the closure of the bus bay at the Bethesda Metro station.
Renovations to a private parking garage will prompt the temporary closure of the bus bay at the Bethesda Metro station this year.
Brookfield Properties, the owners of 3 Bethesda Metro Center, have submitted a traffic mitigation plan for the project, which will renovate the garage they own beneath the bus bay.
The project could prompt the closure of the bus bay for 24 months, but the exact length of the closure isn't known, said Ken Hartman, Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center director.
Construction on the garage will likely launch in the second quarter of this year, Hartman said.
Bus stops will need to be re-located when the bus bay closes.
"It could be a major hassle for at least two years," Hartman said Friday at a meeting of the Woodmont Triangle Action Group.
County officials are thoroughly reviewing the traffic mitigation plan, Hartman said.

um... they submitted the plan. Can we see it? Can it be described? Transparency?

2:44 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
That isn't supposed to sound as rude as it does, but this is a substantial change to possibly foot and vehicle traffic and I am very curious what their proposal is. Looking forward to hearing more from Patch and County Officials.
Erin Donaghue
3:38 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Here's the response from Ken: "The plan is very much in draft form and needs a considerable amount of review by Traffic, Transit, Metro, Police, State Highway, and the Urban District. It's not in a "final" condition to be released publicly yet. This is a big plan and needs to be reviewed carefully before approved." We'll continue to follow it.

More construction in downtown Bethesda, great just what we need!
9:13 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
A. this isn't "construction" B. things need renovation every few decades. Shocking, I know. It's such a shame Bethesda isn't dilapidated. If only all these private investors would stop spending their money to make our area nice.

Cobi Hamilton Named SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week
By: University of Arkansas Athletics
Updated: September 24, 2012
Hamilton broke the SEC and Arkansas single-game records with 303 receiving yards last Saturday against Rutgers. His receiving yards total also ranks as the 14th-highest single-game performance in NCAA FBS history. Hamilton is the first player in SEC history to record a 300-yard receiving game, breaking the previous record of 293 set by LSU's Josh Reed in 2001. The previous Arkansas record of 281 was set last season by Jarius Wright against Texas A&M.
Hamilton collected his 303 yards on 10 receptions, breaking the SEC single-game record for yards-per-catch average (min. 10 receptions) with an average of 30.3 yards per reception. That mark bettered the previous record of 23.3 set by Tennessee's Kelley Washington in 2001.
Hamilton also tied the Arkansas single-game record with three receiving touchdowns, becoming just the third Razorback to catch three touchdown passes in one game. His 303 yards also rank as the highest single-season all-purpose yards output in the NCAA this season and stand third on Arkansas' all-time single-game performance list.
Hamilton leads the SEC and ranks 10th in the conference with his average of 107.3 receiving yards per game this season. The Texarkana, Texas, native has caught at least one pass in 26 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the SEC and tied for the 10th-longest active streak in the NCAA.
He leads all active NCAA players with his career average of 18.6 yards per reception and is tied for the SEC active career lead with 17 receiving touchdowns, tied for fourth in school history.
