They need someone to keep Calvin from triple coverage. either a wr or revamp the oline and rb...wr seems cheaper
Oh man. I was procrastinating on opening this thread because I was afraid that I'd read something like that. I need to completely disconnect myself from Detroit Lions football. My goal is to see them on TV someday and have the same emotional response as when I see Fresno St playing Utep in volleyball.
Looks like Bosh had 40 sacks from 5 years ago, then 3 last year. I wonder if the loss of Haynesworth had anything to do with that ? - I think what our real concern should be is, what to do about the Bears signing of JPeppers. - And if Suh and Nhang? are the real deal, we better not be trying to punk our way out drafting one.
It's hard for me to be on board with the Lions. Why you ask??? Because players with the Lions don't play as big as their paychecks. We sign players to these huge numbers, and then they go and stink up the joint. (SEE DOMINIC RAIOLA) There have been only 2 players in the last 20 years who affected the outcome of games, and they were Barry and Mel Grey. The rest became just the rabble that is all too familiar around here. Please don't name any of the WRs of the 90s, because without Barry drawing the attention of the WHOLE defensive unit, these guys woulda had ordinary seasons.
The Lions had absolutely no choice, they HAD to get a legit #2 WR to take some of the pressure (and triple teams) off of Megatron. Especially since they have no running game to speak of. I don't know if Nate is that guy, but he was the best available FA WR. The issue with the Lions and receivers was DRAFTING FOUR OF THEM WITH TOP TEN PICKS IN FIVE YEARS! It would be a horrible decision even if all 4 panned out, but the fact that 2 of them aren't even in the league anymore and only one of them is still on this team after only a few short years later is just absolute lunacy and set this franchise back a decade. Just for fun, take THIS quiz and see how many 1st round draft picks that you can name from the "Millen Era" (aka the "Dork Ages"). A total of 9 first round picks in 8 seasons, with less than half of them still on the team. As pathetic as that is, Millen's record in rounds 2-7 are even worse. Gee, I wonder why this team is so devoid of talent???
I missed the second pick of '04 and the pick in '06. And I haven't even been paying attention to the Lions for more than about 4 years. I'm too ashamed to brag, though.
If the other team is triple teaming your WR, then running the ball might be a valid counter... ah, who cares. Their between a chicken, an egg, a rock, and a hard place.
That's what I'm sayin. We need blockers and we halfta start some year. Our 70 million dollar man will be out of the league in 3 years if he doesn't get protection.
I agree 100%, but just because we need help in those areas doesn't mean that they can't/shouldn't also upgrade the WR position. The Lions need a LOT of help in a LOT of areas.
Their plan to pick the best player available is the route. I counted 17 "needs" just before free agency. We only have 5 regulars who might be ligit Pro Bowlers. The rest are average or worse. So, pick the best guy available who might be the most likely to make the Pro Bowl some day. And just keep doing that until, eventually, you have a roster full of them. Use free agency to "upgrade" the roster, but you aren't going to get any Pro Bowlers from FA, only the draft!!! With the hole Millen dug with his lousy drafting, it's going to take a few years of excellent drafting to make up for it. You can go all the back to the Russ Thomas era and not find a really decent draft anywhere. Barry, Lomas, Herman, etc were the ocasional good pick, but last year's draft by Mayhew with 5 starters was by far the best we've done in a long, long time. It takes me back to the Lions of my youth: Lary, Christianson, David, Schmidt, W. Walker, Bingaman, Hart, D. Walker, Layne, Box, etc.,etc.
I agree. Good post, Jammer. Burleson will not only take the pressure off Stafford and Johnson, he will make the entire offense better. They still need to address the offensive line. If Burleson returns kicks for the Lions, too, this is a great signing. Detroit special teams were turrible last year.
5 starters by default. Probably true! However, Delmas and Calvin are already Pro Bowl ready. Stafford, Pettigrew, and Levy at least SEEM to have Pro Bowl potential. Time will tell with them. All the other starters are mediorce to poor. Any help we can draft will be welcome. We've got a long way to go!

Border + border-radius = problems in Safari
Hi all,
I'm struggling with a CSS issue for quite a long time now and I'm not sure how to tackle this problem, or it's a browser issue.
Every time I use border: 1px solid black (example, every other setting will (not) work too) combined with border-radius: 2px (example). Safari decides to give me the finger..
Strange white stripes are popping up all around the target HTML element and the right border disappears and it just look like shit.. So is this only me? Or are others having trouble with Safari (the latest) too?
I've seen this issue on both my iMac (2011) and MacBook (2012) and only on Safari.
It has nothing to do with other code in my stylesheets (I see this issue on almost every website that uses border-radius). So am I the only one or is this a bug?
An "example in the wild": http://cl.ly/image/1F2l3M461N0y
cc: @chriscoyier
Can you create a codepen - it's quite possible this is a browser glitch, but there may be something in your code causing this problem.
Check this pen out: http://codepen.io/stefanvermaas/pen/tKaxy
In this pen you see that the right side of the block element has an extra stripe. At least.. I do..
If you add a border with 2 pixels, the problem is solved. Seen this on many website's (see also the example in the opening post. That's a screen from Lea Verou's website).
I do not see that on my MacBook...In Chrome or Safari on Mac or in ie in Windows 8 on my Mac.
I did see the issue in your cloudapp picture though.
Strange.. This is what I see: http://cl.ly/image/0X2q3r1B1V2s
I've only got this issue on Safari (latest).

Why shouldn't they be admired? They are loaded with dough. Im no Apple fan but I do admire them for what they've accomplished. In a time when Sony, HTC, Nokia, and LG are losing their grip, Apple keeps surging ahead. Consider this too, they only release 1 phone a year and accomplish great sales. If any of you ran Apple, you'd be quite happy im sure.
Hate all you want but success speaks for itself.

Great post man. It's not about fanboy, or loving apple. It's about the bottom line, and apple is a rock solid, successful company. People hate, but they'd love to be in apples position. Expect lots of red for your unbiased, non subjective, highly intelligent comment.

Because they can't afford to have another phone with crappy and buggy OS.

dark, you claim to be non biased, but with statements like that, you show a great amount of bias and resentment.

60. darkkjedii posted on 28 Feb 2013, 19:02 3
Bro tell me how I'm being biased by defending apple against pointless bashing, and senseless disrespect of its user base. It's not like you see me on android articles doing what a lot of android fans do on apple articles. Please copy and post one link of me doing that. Also do I ever defend apple at the expense of android. That would make me a hypocrite seeing as though I use both platforms. I like and respect apple as a company, but they do have questionable business practices that I despise. I also think apples been resting on their laurels, and need to come off their high horse and innovate more. All's not well in apple land with me but they are a great, and admired company.
62. androiddownsouth posted on 28 Feb 2013, 19:13 1
I can't remember the last thing you've said that had anything positive relating to Android. All you've done lately is defend Apple. Also, you generalized all Android fans into one group of fat, lazy, WoW playing idiots. I am one of those Android fans, I don't troll bashing Apple, and I'm not some dumb couch potato.
If you want to think that a lot of people are that way, fine, but don't sit there passing judgement on all Android fans like you did. That is not your place, or anyone's, for that matter, Android, Apple, WP8, or BB fan.

SAVE ALEXIS: In a thrilling two-part event, Castle discovers the victim of a kidnapping plot is actually his own daughter, Alexis -- and is determined to get her back by any means necessary. "Target" airs MONDAY FEB 18 at 10|9c, followed by the stunning conclusion "Hunt," on MONDAY FEB 25 10|9c.
Here's a look back at some of our favorite father-daughter moments between Rick and Alexis.
Hello, Funny Face
In "47 Seconds," Beckett watches as her partner rescues his daughter from the sadness and horror of a bomb explosion. Alexis later makes her dad some "Emergency Cheering Up Pancakes." It makes Castle think that his daughter shouldn't have to see the awfulness that's out there. Alexis lets him know that her job makes her feel like she's doing something valuable. After all, that's why Castle does what he does, right?

There is something to be said for the notion of pure performance - acting stripped down so the physical setting is discarded, leaving only the voice of those on a stage and your own imagination. If you were one of the lucky few who managed to snag a ticket to the one off reading of John Osbourne's renowned play 'Look Back in Anger' on Friday 6 July 2012 at the Duke of York's Theatre in London, pure performance was demonstrated for you in spades.

A priest has been arrested on charges of stalking late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien by writing him threatening notes on parish letterhead, contacting his parents and showing up at his studio, prosecutors said Wednesday.
"I want a public confession before I ever consider giving you absolution _ or a spot on your couch," wrote the Rev. David Ajemian, who signed the notes "Padre," said Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney's office.
Ajemian, from the Archdiocese of Boston, was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping session of NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, near where other NBC shows are taped and the famous Christmas tree is put up, Thompson said.
Court papers say Ajemian referred to himself as "your priest stalker" in one note and complained of not being allowed in to see an earlier taping of the O'Brien show.
"Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans?" the note said.
Well, at least Ajemian wasn't arrested for the other crime that in recent years has been attached to Catholic priests.

My GeekHeeb colleague put this up on his blog last night. I'm not sure how two Tesla cables and a fiber-optic cable running from a laptop create the theme to "Mario Bros," but this is pretty awesome, sort of like "The Prestige." (The Geek Group did a similar demonstration.)
Can someone explain how this works?

"Are you Jewish?"
With some discomfort, I asked that question repeatedly of the 300-plus picketers in front of CBS Studio Center in Studio City on Monday, the first day of the strike by the Writers Guild of America.
It was an awkward query not because I feared dismissal—after accounting for noses and facial hair and eyeglasses, I was able to reduce uncertainty to about 20 percent—but because I knew these TV and film writers did not see a connection between Yiddishkayt and the failed contract negotiations that spurred some 12,000 members of the WGA to go on strike at 9:01 p.m. Sunday.
"What's the Jewish angle?" Andrew Jacobson, a co-writer of "Not Another Teen Movie," asked me. "I don't see one except in the most stereotypical sense. This is an issue that affects people regardless of religion or race or gender. It's writers united."
Indeed, "Hollywood writer" is among the most Jewish job descriptions anywhere, which is why, as this long-anticipated strike approached, my editors asked me to report the news through a Jewish lens. The difficulty, however, is that this really isn't a Jewish story. It's a business story that just happens to deal with an industry built largely by Jewish immigrants and sustained by their successors.
This was probably the most challenging story I've reported since joining The Jewish Journal six months ago. I could not, for the life of me, find my angle, and then I labored long and hard over the wording of this 700-word story. I know, it doesn't show.
It just seemed like such an awkward topic, a story with characters so obviously Jewish but a theme and plot that has nothing to do with Judaism. And asking film and TV writers if they are Jewish is like asking someone in Vatican City if they are Catholic. When I asked Marc Alan Levy, who wrote the TV movie "Searching for David's Heart," he deadpanned, "Yeah. I'm the only one in line."

This stark graph from Mere Rhetoric shows that homicides in the West Bank and Gaza closely follow the amount of international aid flowing to Palestinians, adjusted for a one-year lag.
We found this CAMERA study through a Minneapolis economics blogger named Captain Capitalism. It looks at what happens to the number of people Palestinians murder in the year after an increase or decrease in aid. Hmm:
Every time aid increases, homicides increase. Every time it decreases, homicides decrease. There's a not uncompelling theory about how cultures degenerate into corruption and depravity when they have to rely on outsiders to literally feed and clothe them. That explains some of what's going on, but it isn't enough to explain such a strong and consistent correlation.

My editor got a lot of letters in response to a column a few months ago that said rabbis should encourage Jewish woman to date gentile men. I'm not sure if Rabbi Donald Weber read the column, but shortly after the New Jersey rabbi offered a unique approach to get Jews to marry each other.
Six weeks ago, in his Yom Kippur sermon at Temple Rodeph Torah, a Reform synagogue, Weber offered to personally pay for six-month memberships to JDate, the popular Jewish Internet dating service, for any singles in the congregation who asked.
JDate charges $149 for a six- month membership, and so far, nine people have taken the rabbi up on his offer. He and his wife, Shira Stern, initially pledged $1,000 to the effort but just donated a second $1,000 as more people came forward.
"All they have to do is claim it," said Weber, who received a slight group discount from JDate. "We'll do this as long as there's a need, and as long as there's a desire."
Well, considering the declining American Jewish population and the crisis of intermarriage that some Jewish sociologists have been crying gevalt over for decades, I hope Rabbi Weber and his wife have a large savings account.

Dov Charney is a self-described "Jewish hustler," and today he hustled some real dough out of the deal that is buying out his clothing company, American Apparel. Mark Lacter, whose LA Biz Observed is my main source of financial news, has the info and reports that AA employees now sign a document stating:
âAmerican Apparel is in the business of designing and manufacturing sexually charged T-shirts and intimate apparel, and uses sexually charged visual and oral communications in its marketing and sales activity.â
Lacter also linked to this New York Times article about Charney:
Mr. Charney has gained a reputation as the Hugh Hefner of retailing, decorating his stores with covers of Penthouse magazine and admitting in interviews to sleeping with employees. In lawsuits filed in 2005, several employees charged him with creating a work environment in which women did not feel safe. They claimed in the lawsuits, for example, that Mr. Charney conducted job interviews in his underwear and gave a vibrator to at least one female worker. Mr. Charney has denied the charges, and judges have dismissed some of the lawsuits against him. In the interview, Mr. Charney said that the media had âexploited American Apparel on certain issues,â adding, âI would never do an interview in my underwear.â
Sure, every know and then an AA ad is innocuous, even cute like that unauthorized billboard of Woody Allen as "der heyliker rebe." But Charney really has a knack for provocativeness. âI could pull my penis out right now," he told The Jewish Journal a few years ago, "and I guarantee you no one would be offended.â

Sometimes, the religious get rich because of their faith, and not always for wholesome reasons. But more commonly, the wealthier people are, the smaller a role God plays in their lives. This was the reasoning behind Jesus' famous aphorism that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
I've repeated this reasoning to my friends often because, being a fairly self-sufficient, not-poor American, it's easy to forget to say "Thank God" when people ask how I am doing. (I admire Orthodox Jews who are better about remembering this.)
Anyway, I'm a journalist, and for journalists a story becomes newsworthy when a new study that proves reality. Thanks Pew Research Center.
Pew found that there is âa strong relationship between a countryâs religiosity and its economic status.â The poorer a country, the more âreligion remains central to the lives of individuals, while secular perspectives are more common in richer nations.â
The United States is the âmost notableâ exception. Other exceptions are oil-rich, mostly Muslim nations like Kuwait.
There is no simple interpretation of the findings. Perhaps as âpeople get less religious, they get wealthier,â wrote Kevin Drum of the Washington Monthlyâs Political Animal blog. âOr perhaps the other way around. Or perhaps thereâs something else behind both trends.â
Mr. Drum concludes that itâs âprobably a bit of all three.â

The New York Times, and their veteran reporter of the social conservatives beat, David D. Kirkpatrick, make a big mistake in today's story about televangelist Pat Robertson endorsing the Republican presidential candidate who has made most evangelicals so comfortable.
Rudolph W. Giuliani scored a coup today by winning the support of Pat Robertson, who, as one of the nationâs best-known televangelists, could help Mr. Giuliani reassure Republicans who are wary of his support for abortion rights and gay rights.
See, right there, they assume that Robertson, the same guy who said on air that the United States should seize the opportunity to assassinate Hugo Chavez, has any cultural currency. In the opinion of a twentysomething evangelical who reluctantly remains a Republican, Robertson's relevancy is deader than Jerry Falwell's.

As if it wasn't bad enough that Rudy Giuliani's personal priest was accused of pedophilia, now the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination can expect his former business partner and close adviser, Bernard B. Kerik, to be indicted for tax fraud, corruption and conspiracy.
The grand jury, sitting in Westchester, has been hearing evidence about Mr. Kerik for more than a year as part of a broad federal investigation into a variety of allegations, including his acceptance of $165,000 in renovations from a contractor who was seeking a city license.
If an indictment is voted up, as prosecutors are expected to request, it would remain sealed until Friday, when Mr. Kerik would be arraigned in United States District Court in White Plains.
Mr. Kerik served under former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, and questions about the former police commissioner and correction commissioner have been troublesome for Mr. Giulianiâs presidential campaign. There have been concerns about lapses in the vetting of his background when Mr. Kerik was named police commissioner.
And don't forget when Giuliani got President Bush to nominate Kerik for head of Homeland Security. Michael Wolff at Vanity Fair thinks Giuliani's relationship with Kerik says a lot about his attitude toward accountability.
And Bernie Kerik. There is no circumstance under which a politician with any sense of vulnerability or accountability or merely the need to maintain a sense of appearances hires Bernie Kerik (no less as the police commissioner). Kerik is from Paterson, New Jersey, where I'm from. He came to live in a house in the suburb just down the road from where my parents lived. I knew or had heard the same stories everyone elseâmy parents and my parents' friendsâhad heard. Which it seems impossible Rudy would not have heard, too. And if, somehow, he hadn't heard them, we know now from Rudy's own grand-jury testimony that he was, in fact, officially toldâthough, he says, it didn't quite register. In other words, one of the most experienced prosecutors of organized-crime figures has spelled out for him what is widely rumoredâthat his corrections chief and prospective police commissioner might be Mobbed upâand he doesn't get it. Yup. And then goes on to become business partners with the guy. And then becomes his sponsor for high federal office.
Let's not even get into the nature of Rudy's tolerance for whatever Kerik was into, and just focus on Rudy's sense of impunityâhe's got no sense of caution. (A likely implosion point for the Rudy campaign is Kerik's anticipated trial for tax fraud and providing false information to federal authorities when he was vetted for the job of homeland-security chief, which Rudy sponsored him for.) It's about getting away with it. It's waving the red flag. It's his assumption that everybody is a pantywaist, except him.

Britain's leading evangelical college is at a breaking point.
Wycliffe Hall, a private seminary that matriculates its own students through Oxford, has seen the resignation of eight of it's 13 faculty members since a new principal took over last year and allegedly began narrowing the school's focus to a more conservative theological approach.
Adding to the pain, a review by the University of Oxford published this fall found that Wycliffe and the six other private halls were not providing an education in line with Oxford's liberal ethos. What happens next, God only knows. But I've got a short news piece about it in this month's Christianity Today.
"If the turbulence that is currently going on does settle down ... [then] this may be seen as a turning point at which Wycliffe went from one approach of evangelicalism to another approach that is just as well," said Justin Thacker, head of theology for the U.K.'s Evangelical Alliance. "When Paul and Barnabas split over the issue of John Mark ⦠there were two missions instead of just one. There have been divisions—and they have been painful divisions—but I hope that at the end of the day, each group that splits off goes to do so in the service of Jesus Christ."

^ this is why i fell in love with adele.
now she's lost this passion, this longing in her voice, this desire.
the sadness and emotion in all her songs when she preformed at Largo is what made me into an adele fan,
and quite frankly, i'm disappointed in her.
i'm not saying i don't like her and her music, because i love her and her music,
i'm just saying that i wish she went back to her roots, before the tremendous amount of fame, and remember all the sadness and pain she put into these songs so she can be a better performer, songwriter, and artist.

Food Cycle
The eternal food loop—harvest, prepare, savor, cleanup—has never been healthier, and better tasting, than it is right now.
Even in tough times, everyone has to eat. Indeed, the one place where we could be tempted to make some small allowances is our food. Sure, we might feel a little guilty about indulging ourselves, but what if that dark, delectable chocolate bar you devoured at lunch actually did the earth a little good, or that cheese on your cracker helped protect a 200-acre farm and a variety of bird species, while keeping a family afloat. Maybe that delicious bread you bought was made from corn genetically engineered to need less water, those heirloom tomatoes from the grocery store lowered the cost of toxin-free food for all, and the rice in your sushi provided critical habitat for long-billed curlews. Far from being a health food fantasy, this menu is now, or soon will be, an everyday reality. So raise a fork (and a glass of wine made from grapes grown without pesticides) to eating well while doing great things for birds, wildlife, the planet—and you.
Meals on Wheels
On a clear, brisk November day in Stamford, New York, three beef cows and 11 pigs await slaughter. They've been trucked here to meet their end in the Northeast's first mobile slaughterhouse, docked today at Jim Eklund's organic dairy farm. Under the watchful eye of a USDA inspector, Eklund stuns, kills, bleeds, skins, and eviscerates each animal in the 53-foot-long kill trailer. The organs are moved to an inedible-parts trailer, then Eklund quarters or halves the carcass and places it in a chilling compartment until it's driven to a butcher or a cut-and-wrap facility. "The meat goes to farmers' markets in New York City, to restaurants that want local, all-natural grass-fed beef," says Eklund, who's building an on-site cut-and-wrap operation so he'll have the capacity to process 50 cattle a day. "You know exactly which animal the steak or burger is coming from. Larger facilities take hundreds of animals, mix it all up." The Modular Harvest System (MHS) processes lambs, goats, hogs, beef cows, and veal calves. Farmers like it because it's closer than industrial facilities, and they can make appointments a month, rather than half a year, in advance. "Ultimately, we'd like to see a system of docking sites throughout the region, so the MHS can be moved around to serve more farmers," says Judith LaBelle, president of Glynwood, the nonprofit that created it. "It's ecologically sound—the animals graze in pastures rather than eating energy-intensive grains, the waste is properly disposed of. It's good for animals, people, and the planet."—Alisa Opar
Walk on the Wild Side
A parade of notebook-toting, camera-wearing students follow their leader, Leda Meredith, into Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Stopping at a shrub, she pulls off a clump of leaves and holds it to her nose. "I'm big on scratch-and-sniff foraging," she says. Its pungent odor gives the mugwort away. This invasive plant, which beer brewers once used to flavor their ales, is a natural muscle relaxer, Meredith says, and grows throughout the park.
Her foraging class is one of many springing up around the country, from Los Angeles to Denver to Boston, demonstrating the growing public interest in finding tasty greens among the weeds. "It's exploded in the last few years," says Meredith, an ethnobotanist and author who foraged with her grandmother and great-grandmother in Golden Gate Park near her childhood home in San Francisco.
Fond du Lac County Audubon in Wisconsin, for instance, hosts an annual potluck where participants bring a course concocted with a wild ingredient—last year's event boasted a menu of savory burdock patties and mustard-greens pesto. Chefs are also digging the idea. At Noma, his Copenhagen restaurant, Danish chef René Redzepi serves dishes replete with local ingredients from nearby fields, like sorrel and wild herbs. Noma topped the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants poll last year, and Redzepi's foraging-infused cookbook, one of several that highlight wild foods, hit bookstores last fall.
A multitude of factors—from an increasing distrust of the industrial food system to foraging's zero cost—are accelerating the trend. On top of that, wild finds like maitake mushrooms (right) or mugwort may add a little zest to your meals. Says Meredith, "One of the great things about foraging for me is getting to play with ingredients that you can't buy."—Susan Cosier
Oyster Bar
Go ahead—slurp those farmed oysters, without the guilt. The mollusks are symbols for sustainable aquaculture. "[They're] environmentally, ecologically beneficial as well as economically beneficial," says Michael Oesterling, a fisheries and aquaculture specialist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. As filter feeders, the bivalves simultaneously eat and clarify water by sucking up algae that thrives on nutrient runoff. Also, cages and other aquaculture containment gear placed on sandy bottoms in coastal waters can provide habitat for other species. "It's an automatic oyster reef," says Doug McMinn, founder of the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Company, a leading aquaculturist in the bay region.

Ho! Ho! Halloween Trick-Or-Treating
We have lots of fun at "Ho! Ho! Halloween" at the North Pole. We play Halloween games.   We do Halloween crafts.   We dress up. We even go trick-or-treating!
Everyone loves to go trick-or-treating! The elves love to fill their goody bags with treats. They knock on a door and say something silly like:
Trick or treat, smell my feet.
Give me something good to eat"
Then they get something yummy. Sometimes they get a candy cane. Sometimes they get Christmas candy. Sometimes they get fancy imported marshmallows for their hot cocoa. They always get an extra special cookie from Mrs. Claus!
But, if they say "Trick or Treat" at one house, they might get a trick! That's the house the old GrinchyClaus lives at. He waits for an elf to say "Trick or Treat". Then he gives the elf a trick — an old smelly sock! He saves old smelly socks all year just for Halloween! That is so silly!
Happy Ho! Ho! Halloween!
Santa Claus
P.S. What do you like to get for Halloween treats (besides smelly socks)?   (Scroll down to leave a message for Santa or to see what others have written!)

I've been meaning to have all my stuff in one thread here for ages, now seems like as good a time as any to start it. Here's the early stages of a couple of ideas I have. The first one is Mercy again, based on this pic I saw of Summer Glau (which I also posted in my sketchbook thread).
Not sure what I want her to be wearing yet, though I have a couple of ideas. Here's one of them, her standard battle dress thing:
(Berettas are really f-ing hard to draw at that angle, not for the first I wonder why I don't just have my characters use Glocks :P)
Next up, a sketch of Riddick. I've been wanting to do a Pitch Black drawing for ages, but never got a solid idea down.
I want to post the reference I used, but if I don't go now I'm going to be late for work. More to come later :)
Your new pic of Mercy looks very, very nice. You should really use reference more often.
You might just as well use this chance and improve your character's face, especially the eyes. Make them more attractive would be nice.
philby:(Berettas are really f-ing hard to draw at that angle, not for the first I wonder why I don't just have my characters use Glocks :P)
They are both 2 cubes at right angles to each other and tilted into perspective.
Yeah, I messed up the perspective on the nearest one at least. I think the further one is alright though. They're slightly longer than normal anyway, because they have muzzle brakes on them. Another thing I didn't have time to say before was also that her arms are a little too long (taking into account the perspective, both wrists should be a little above her groin, currently they are both slightly below), and her abs don't follow the curve of the rest of her upper body. Thanks for the praise though, I know I do a lot better when I use refs, and I use them now whenever I can find one close to the pose I want. This was one of those cases where I saw the pose first, then wanted to use it in a picture :P
Anyway, the other thing I never had time to post, the Riddick reference. This is it (apparently there are precious few hi-res pics of him that aren't screenshots from games).
Again, more to come later. Or tomorrow. Whichever.
Have to agree about the guns, Philby. I too thought of Desert Eagles when I saw them. (due to their length) But you actually have them squared more like 45's, then Beretta's too. Beretta's are more rounded, which can be more challenging to draw as well. ... Color version is looking pretty good, btw. :)
That's what I meant about them being hard to draw, because of the rounded shape. I'm working on improving it, since I erased them to adjust the length of her arms anyway, but most likely it'll be easiest to correct mistakes when I'm doing the digital lineart and I can zoom right in on them.
Here's some more costume ideas. First up, she's wearing a semi-transparent top like in the ref image, and a big black leather coat.
The next one is her wearing biker leathers, which I've drawn her wearing in the past.
Finally, the Jackie Brown tribute suit. For me, it's between this and the battle uniform at the moment. Or I may even do both.
Optional sunglasses in that one, though I could add them to any of the ideas.
Anyone got any preferences from the ideas so far? Or even want to throw an idea in themselves?
I did plan to work on Mercy some more, but I got caught up with Riddick instead. I moved bits around to get him looking more like the ref, and then more or less just dove in with colours and so on.
His jaw looks wrong at the moment. Or maybe it's his mouth. I'm not sure, I need to mess with it some more I think. It's kinda hard, I always remembered Vin Diesel having quite a defined jaw, but he doesn't really. Which of course calls into question why I did such a bold line there :/
I'll be working more on the eyes as I paint the picture anyway, the pencils were never intended as more than a sketch really.
I've been working on Mercy's badass walk since then anyhow, so here's the progress on that.
I attempted to improve the Berettas, but I don't think they've changed a lot :/ I'll fiddle with them in Photoshop. I'm also thinking with this that I'll make it into a mock comic book cover, with a title and logos and stuff.
Thanks Yian :)
Riddick's turn. Just muddling along, trying to remember how to paint without lineart :P
I am going to have to do something about his jaw, and his left eye isn't quite the right shape or in the right place either, I think.
I was hoping to get more of this done today, but I'm off out soon so I'm just posting what I've got so far:
I made the guns a little smaller.
I won't get started on why I'm up at nigh 4am doing this when I could be in bed.
Is it me or are her eyes too far apart?
Oh yeah, and I've been trying to come up with a surname for Mercy, and last night I had the idea of Tarantino or Rodriguez, after the filmmakers. I'm pretty sure I want her name to to be something with that kind of sound to it, something Italian or Spanish. I'm not sure yet either if Mercy actually is her name or if it's short for Mercedes.

Big Budget for DOT | Video
Jennifer Joas | 1/21/2013Rush hour traffic in major cities has nothing on Williston`s truck traffic. It`s not uncommon to sit through half a dozen traffic lights before getting through the intersection. And don`t even think about making a left hand turn.
That`s why the DOT is asking for money as soon as possible to help with truck reliever routes and highway repairs.
"Getting those funds early is essential. That we can come in and we can move some of those projects forward to provide some relief, to provide the infrastructure that`s needed," said DOT Interim Director Grant Levi.
In addition to those improvements, those living in the oil patch have had another project in mind for years. Many refer to Highway 85 as a "death trap," and they`ve been asking that it be made a four-lane road.
"If you care at all about the people out there, you better be thinking about getting a four lane road. Which should cut down a lot of that concern that the people have lived there all their life have to face every day," said Senator Bill Bowman (R) from Bowman.
The DOT has finally agreed to add the lanes between Williston and Watford City. But Senator Bowman says it should stretch all the way down to Belfield. "We`re sitting here producing billions of dollars to our state, thousands and thousands of truck loads of traffic, and we almost have to beg to get a four lane. And that is frustrating,"
Levi says the DOT plans to start construction on Highway 85 this summer, but will be doing the work in portions because of the length of the road, and because the DOT wants to minimize impacts to travelers.
The bill containing the $620 million for immediate projects will come before the Appropriations Committee tomorrow morning.

Training without full lifts?
Dec 16, 2010, 05:59 PM »
Hey guys,
I am only able to practice full lifts about twice a week if I'm lucky and I was wondering if anyone had some good suggestions for exercises that would help me to make gains while unable to utilize full lifts quite so often. I Still have access to a full size bar (terrible bearings though, no spin) and can load it with iron plates. Already got squats, pulls/explosions, liftoffs, and dead-lifts on my list. Hoping someone can offer some more exercises that would help with my training,
Current Bests
Snatch - 93
Clean & Jerk - 116
Back Squat - 142.5
Front Squat - 117.5
Body-weight - 85-88kg

Hi Aaron, twice a week on the full lifts isn't too bad. I'd do both lifts on both those days.
On other days, I assume you can still do power snatches and/or power cleans? I think they have a certain positive value as a training exercise.
I know a guy that can only do full lifts once a week and he still lifts about 105,130 at a very skinny 66-67 kg, twice a week is alright.
Since you also have plenty of tools available for strength training it should be fine. Let us know how it goes.

Its obvious you have a great can-do attitude; you'll overcome these resource constraints and get better, no problema. Here are some suggestions on how to get the most out of what you have available, and avoid performing "random acts of weight training," depending on whether you get two days per week or only one day per week with bumpers.
If you get
two days with bumpers
, no worries. I suggest this:
"A" Days (two per week)
- at the bumper-equipped facility
1.Back squat
3.Clean & Jerk
4.Jerk Assist (if your clean exceeds your jerk), or Clean Deadlift (if you jerk more than you clean), or more Back squats (if its less than 130% of your CJ)
"B" Days (one or two per week)
- at the non-bumper gym
1.Overhead Squat (Sn. Grip)
2.Power Snatch (if you can) or Snatch Pull (if you can't)
3.Power Clean (if you can) or Clean Pull (if you can't)
4.Front Squat
"C" Days (one or two per week)
- also at the non-bumper gym
- variety of upper-body pushing, pulling, and torso (PPT) movements that work upper back, shoulder, and elbow extensors and flexors at angles and thru full range of motion that do not get worked on the A and B days (e.g., presses, dips, rows, chins, etc.)
If you can only do the full lifts with
bumpers only one day per week
, its critical that you get the most out of that one day, and that you work all the propulsive phases and receiving positions of the lifts (with the movements outlined above for the B Days) at least two other days per week each. Bare minimum would be similar to this scheme:
Day 1
(bumpers available):
The "A Day" above - and its going to be important that you get big doses of both intensity (you must handle some relatively heavy loads) and volume (you must perform many total reps) on this one and only day you get to do the real thing. Some ways to get both intensity and volume in the same session are (a) using a "Joe Mills" load/set/rep scheme, i.e., 5 singles on 1 min rest at about 70% of your recent best 1RM, or 30 kgs below your 1RM (whichever is highest); then 5 more singles 5 kgs heavier than the starting weight; then 5 more singles 2.5 kgs heavier than the second cluster of 5 singles; then a series of 6-8 progressively heavier singles, working up 2.5 kgs each successive attempt - just start at a load where the last 2-3 singles will be in the 90%+ range; or (b) Bulgarian and Drops: contest warmup sequence up to about 85%, then small jumps up to best technically-solid, non-thrashing load you can handle that day (should be 90% or more). Repeat that weight 2-3 times (singles), then drop down 2.5 to 5 kgs for a couple more singles, then drop again, same increment, for a couple more, and finally, a double or two at about 80%. I'd use the Mills scheme if you want to emphasize technique - you get 15+ makeable reps on those first three clusters of five. I'd use the Bulgarian and Drops approach if you want to emphasize intensity - you get 6+ reps at or near your capability for that day, plus that many more in the 80% range on the way up and at the end. In either approach, rest 15-30 mins between SN and CJ - you'll need it. But it is critical that you not only get into the 87-97% range, but that you get lots of quality reps, in both lifts, if a single "A Day" per week is all you've got.
Day 3
(no bumpers):
1.Overhead Squat
2.Power Snatch (if allowed) or, if not allowed, Snatch Pull (fast)
3.Power Clean (if allowed) or, if not allowed, Clean Deadlift (heavy)
4.Front Squat
5.Push Press
Day 5
(no bumpers):
1.Overhead Squat
2.Power Snatch (if allowed) or Snatch Grip Deadlift or RDL (heavy)
3.Power Clean (if allowed) or Clean Pull (fast)
4.Front Squat
5.Rack Jerks (inside power rack, if available) or Power Jerk
Day 2, 4, or 5
(one or two days per week)
PPT work as above
With only one day with bumpers, the critical thing is to use other movements (as outlined above) to get all the critical positions at least two other days per week. If you cannot do power versions, and have to do pulls/deadlifts only, the thing that will lag or regress is the turnaround (the instantaneous reversal of direction and aggressive and active descent into the receiving positions on all three lifts). If that's the case, do the best you can and, as Albert suggests, work that movement pattern with empty bar stuff - dead-hang snatches and cleans with just the bar, and/or drop snatches with just the bar (surely they'll let you do that) - no real "pull" - just get in your max extension position, static, and pull under it into the receiving position. In the jerk, a one-inch dip and drive. Pretend or visualize the bar not even moving at all, and your pulling or driving yourself down under it - think of getting your hips down fast and snapping into receiving positions. Although its a poor substitute for the real thing, it beat nothing, and at least you get the mobility work a couple of times before you can get back to the bumpers. So I'd suggest doing the empty bar drills on both of the two no-bumper days (3 and 5).

Sounds like a good program for you Aaron, only thing I would change is do the snatches and C&J before your squats on the "A" days. Thanks Jim for taking the time to write that up. I compete with Aaron as we are from the same province.

Snatch- 136kg
C&J- 170kg

I can only do the lifts once a week as the other days i train in my garage. I do squats and deadlifts in my garage and snatch, snatch pulls and CJ
two simple workouts. doing 5 exercises for me would be too much at my age at 42

Morgan (Anthony Morgan?) are you still lifting in the range of 130+160 even in 2010? That would be amazing if so. How often did you do the snatch & cj when you were lifting at your best?
I once read that David Morgan coached himself and did all his training in his garage also.
