Hey guys,
Nice to have you here I'm about to present a little collection of the stuff I recently did mainly for our student-projects at the Games Academy, Berlin. Hope you like it, if there are any critiques I'd love to read them!
(the Icedragon was done completely by mouse and my first digital painting at all ... The only thing I still like about it are the ice-effects ... )

And another creep ... supposed to go with the big one above (concept for a tower defense adaption at our academy)
Guess I'll have to tweak the contrast value in the creeps right foot a bit ... but not today
(Edit: I added a quiver ... and contrast )

thanks for your comment in my sketch gallery....i like your pencil works and more specially the first landscape...
yeahh there are very nice designs in here
Yo, lord rainsuit haha...
Nice pics, like your pencil drawing a lot. For your digital pieces you might want to use some harder edges on the focus parts so they don´t look so fuzzy(and so need I haha).
And about the ice dragon, I think it´s amazing you did it with a mouse.
Hope to see you in my sketchbook sometime and tell me what you like and don´t like ofcourse...
i like the dominating women piece, cool concept
Whoa dude. You've got mad skills. Let's see more! I really like your work with midtones. Excellent work.

Cool works here dude, You clearly have a handle on the value ranges / relationships, i'd like to see some specular highlights here and there. I think they would help pop the forms a bit more. Keep sharing ;-)
Nice work on the last chow and I agree with the need for the odd highlight!
Very nice sb Lord_regenschirm. Love your brushwork!
Keep it coming.
PS: can you post the homepage of you academy for me ?

Fumble: Thank you ... and yeah I'll keep that in mind
Lyno: Tanks mate! I'll send you the link in a PM ...
And here we go again ... A little preview to an upcoming character design (I hope ...): An eagle-human hybrid (and for all the specular-fans out there: I'll add some highlights in the final version )
EDIT: ... plus a little thumbnail for the character-pose

I came to this sketchbook because I liked your CoW entry (nice design and modeling of form), but I was immediately distracted by your vehicles. Wow! That's some sweet stuff!
I'm very impressed by your mechanical design skills, obviously. Your digital painting skills aren't quite at that level yet, but they're still good, and getting better.
Moai: Thanks, I really appreciate that!
Here is a little update on my "humaquila" ... I'm somehow stuck in details ... have to get rid of this but now that I did some of them it's hard not to do the rest like this ...
Suggestions are welcome!
Hello again, Lordy. You asked for some advice on your digital paintings, and here I am.
For this most recent piece, the brushwork and modeling of form is going fine, but you need more contrast. Your lightest value is a somewhat light gray and your darkest value is a somewhat dark gray. Push it further. Add some vivid highlights and darken the shadows. That'll strengthen the image quite a bit, I think.
Here's a little factoid about value contrast that I got from James Gurney's blog. Say you have a ten step value scale, where 1 equals black and 10 equals white. For an object in direct sunlight, the values of the lit side of that object and the shaded side will be about five steps apart. For example, if the lit side of an object was at value #8, the shadow would be value #3. I don't know if this character is in full sunlight, but that little tidbit goes to show that the value difference between light and shade is often more than we think.
Also, I'd change the shadows of his shoulder and forearm armor so that they aren't exactly parallel with the outside edges of those objects.
Aside from those critiques, this piece is lookin' good. I like the subtle designs on his forearm armor, and the shading on his knuckle armor.
I took a little break from my birdyman and did some aliendesigns I had in mind for a long time now ... A few of them here:
The ruin of the "Drachenfels" at the Rhine river near my hometown Bonn, Germany ...
Last edited by lord_regenschirm; February 20th, 2009 at 11:20 AM.
The Ring of the Nibelung among other things tells the story of Siegfried the dragonslayer ... another postcard-painting containing the Drachenfels ... Guess I'll colorize it later on.
I love the alien designs,
concerning the castle, there might be a perspective mistake the thowalls do not seem parralel maybe you'lll adjust that with the colours.
thanks for stopping by my sb
when i saw the ice-dragon i was like ' wow, cool' then i saw how you did it and that it was your first digi and i was like ' '
the alien designs are very cool too
I'm espeically amazed at some of the technical drawings you did. Amazing! You could feel me that's it real love your CHOW 110 too, that's just too cool.
Studytime! Crunching down on Loomis and Figure Drawing
My creative blog
Figure Studies & Life drawing yay!
the aliendesigns are awesome
maybe use more contrast in your paintings, they will look less flat
Yo dude, where ya been? Love the Cave dweller.
You work really well with your values but you seem to be stay clear of pure white and pure black. Why? Also, got any more tips for me?

Mission and Holdings
As a branch facility of the Eugene McDermott Library, Callier Library's mission is to extend the research capabilities of McDermott Library to the Dallas campus of the Callier Center for Communication Disorders and to the Center for BrainHealth. Callier Library's collection is a subset of McDermott's focused exclusively on communication disorders.
Callier Library is a satellite facility of the University of Texas at Dallas Library. The library currently has over 3,500 books and monographs. Its periodical and assessment test collections in communication disorders are without equal in the North Texas area. The library's computer terminals and workstation provide patrons with access to many electronic databases, both at UTD and on the Internet. The library also maintains a small videotape collection. A valid UTD Comet Card is required for borrowing materials from the library and for requesting materials from interlibrary loan.
Though the library's purpose is to support the research of the Callier Center, the public is always welcome to visit. Non-UTD affiliates who wish to borrow materials may join the Friends of McDermott Library at UTD's Richardson campus. Access to the assessment test collection is restricted to UTD affiliates only. below.

The world's most prestigious motorcycle calendar is back on sale. The 2014 edition of the famous Bike EXIF wall calendar showcases 13 of the world's best bikes, including Walt Siegl's Leggero, Classified Moto's KT600 and the Wrenchmonkees' brutal Yamaha XJR1300 'Monkeefist.'
The cover star is Mateusz Stankiewicz' remarkable Honda CX500 (above), one of the most popular motorcycles ever featured on Bike EXIF. We've also got the Wilkinson Brothers' elegant BMW R75/6, an ultra-clean Moto Guzzi Le Mans (below) from Kaffeemaschine, and Café Racer Dreams' funky, go-anywhere Apolo. Adding a wonderfully gothic, Victorian vibe is the Rough Crafts Brass Racer.
You can never have too much of a good thing, so we've made the 13-month calendar our biggest yet—a mighty 17 x 12 inches. It's printed on 128gsm art paper with a 260gsm laminated art card cover. And this year, for the first time, it's discreetly hole-punched.
Each calendar is delivered shrinkwrapped with a board stiffener for protection, and is remarkable value at just $15.99. That's the same price as last year's bestseller, despite the larger format.
Last year's calendar was the #1 bestselling motorcycle calendar on Amazon for most of the festive season. And this year's is even better. Here's how to order:
US and Canada: Order direct from the publisher Octane Press for fast shipping.
UK and Europe: Order from Calendars.com or Urban Rider.

Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles (born February 15, 1928) (nicknamed Bambi by some Cuban exiles) Cuban-born Venezuelan anti-communist extremist.
A former Central Intelligence Agency agent, Posada has been convicted in absentia of involvement in various terrorist attacks and plots in the Americas, including: involvement in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed seventy-three people; admitted involvement in a string of bombings in 1997 targeting fashionable Cuban hotels and nightspots; involvement in the Bay of Pigs invasion; involvement in the Iran-Contra affair; and, according to conspiracy theorists, involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In addition, he was jailed under accusations related to an assassination attempt on Fidel Castro in Panama in 2000, although he was later pardoned by Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso in the final days of her term.
In 2005, Posada was held by U.S. authorities in Texas on the charge of illegal presence on national territory before the charges were dismissed on May 8, 2007. On September 28, 2005 a U.S. immigration judge ruled that Posada cannot be deported, finding that he faces the threat of torture in Venezuela. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro has referred to him as "the Bin Laden of the Americas;" the reluctance of the United States to extradite him, has been repeatedly criticized by Noam Chomsky and others as a sign of hypocrisy in the US-led War on Terror, where a US priority policy is easier extraditions of alleged terrorists from Middle Eastern countries.

The stars are aligning for the lead market, with ongoing supply constraints and buoyed demand positioning the heavy metal for a positive New Year, according to analysts and traders.
Lead, which has seen prices more than double since the beginning of this year, boasts one of the strongest fundamental positions of the entire base metals complex, market sources said, and is set to strengthen as 2010 takes hold.
A tightening supply situation is one key factor providing support to the lead market. A wave of lead smelter shutdowns took place across China over the summer in the wake of heavy metal poisoning, significantly curbing the amount of metal produced in, and therefore exported from, the metals-hungry nation.

All parents deal with their child's bruises and bloody noses from time to time. For most kids, a bandage and a sympathetic hug are all it takes to get them back in the game.
But a small number of kids have frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or prolonged bleeding after a tooth is pulled. Such excessive or prolonged bleeding could be a sign of a genetic disorder known as von Willebrand disease.
For many kids with this disorder, the symptoms are so mild that they never know they have it. Those with a more severe form of the disease, though, need proper diagnosis and a treatment plan to help them lead normal, active lives.
Von Willebrand disease, or vWD, is an inherited disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot properly. It takes its name from Dr. Erik von Willebrand, who first described the condition in 1926. As a group, bleeding disorders (including hemophilia) are rare. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, affecting about 1% of the population.
Normally, bleeding occurs when a blood vessel is cut or torn. The blood's ability to clot (to plug the hole in the blood vessel and stop the flow of blood) is a complex process involving platelets and proteins called clotting factors. Von Willebrand factor is involved in the early stages of blood clotting, and also carries the important clotting protein factor VIII. (Factor VIII is the protein that is missing or defective when someone has hemophilia.)
People with vWD have bleeding problems because the levels or functioning of these blood components needed for clotting are abnormal.
As with many conditions, there are various forms of vWD. Unlike hemophilia, which affects only boys, vWD affects boys and girls equally.
Like hemophilia, vWD is a genetic disorder that is usually passed from parent to child (very rarely, it can be acquired after birth). The child of a man or a woman with vWD has a 50% chance of getting the gene.
In types 1 and 2, a child can inherit the gene for the disease from one parent only. In type 3, the child usually needs to inherit the gene from both parents. In those cases, the child will likely have severe symptoms, even if the parents don't have any symptoms at all. Also, a child can inherit the gene and show no symptoms, but as a carrier can pass the gene on to any offspring.
The symptoms of von Willebrand disease can include:
Because symptoms can be mild, vWD can be difficult to diagnose and often goes undetected.
Blood tests used to diagnose vWD include:
Tests might need to be repeated because the levels they detect may rise and fall over time. Also, the doctor will take a family medical history to see if other relatives have a bleeding disorder.
The most common treatment for vWD is desmopressin, a medication that causes a temporary increase in the von Willebrand factor and factor VIII levels. It can be given intravenously (into a vein) or intranasally (into the nose), but may be ineffective in treating Type 2A or Type 2B.
People with Type 3 (and some with Type 2A and 2B) will need treatment with Humate-P, an intravenous medication derived from human plasma that contains factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. Those with Type 1 also might receive Humate-P in certain situations, such as major trauma or major surgery, although they usually can be treated with desmopressin.
Medication to inhibit the breakdown of blood clots (such as aminocaproic acid) also might be used.
Kids with vWD should avoid unnecessary trauma, including contact sports. If bleeding does occur, apply pressure to the area. During nosebleeds, pinch the soft part of the nose and have the child lean slightly forward to keep the blood from flowing down the throat.
Because of the possibility of excessive bleeding, male infants who are at risk for vWD (those with a family history of the disease) should not be circumcised without a doctor's OK.
Girls with vWD who have started their periods might want to take extra pads or a change of clothes in case of accidents. Heavy menstrual bleeding sometimes can be controlled with birth control pills.
Kids with vWD should not take aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) for pain or fever. These drugs interfere with platelet function and can increase the risk of bleeding. It is safe to take acetaminophen, which doesn't affect platelet function.
Call your doctor immediately if your child experiences any excessive or unexplained bleeding.

Rush's Subdivisions soon available for Rock Band 3
I'd mentioned briefly in my latest Friday updates post that Rush's Subdivisions would soon be made available for download for the Rock Band video game. Rock Band 3 was just released this past week and adds the ability to play keyboards along with guitars, drums and vocals. So the keyboard-heavy Subdivisions is an ideal fit for the game. The track is the original master recording and will be available for download for the Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 3 this coming Tuesday, November 2nd. You can check out a trailer featuring the track at this link.

June 16, 2013 local law enforcement responded to plane crash west of the Minot Air Force Base. Deputy Ann M. Millerbernd from the Ward County Sheriff's Department was the first officer on the scene, and today she receives the North Dakota Peace Officers Association Life-Saving Award.
Millerbernd gave directions to the exact location of the crash to other responders. She located the pilot and obtained his vitals and stabilized his substantial injuries, all while talking with him and keeping him calm and aware of the situation. The pilot survived the crash and is still recovering.
"From the moment of making contact with him I knew right away how serious the situation was. I saw the plane, I saw what was left of the plane, I saw the extent of his injuries and I'm not for one second trying to say that I saved that man because it was a group effort. But talking to him and learning about his life made me just continue to want to work with him, and I didn't want to lose him," says Millerbernd.
Deputy Millerbernd is also a trained EMT, and carried her medical bag through the muddy area to get to the pilot.

CRCHD: Building on a Solid Foundation for Success
As we enter the final stretch of 2005, a glance back at the past 8 months offers a powerful reminder that NCI is an organization of constant innovation and change. Whether it's the proteomics and nanotechnology initiatives, or early efforts to characterize the human cancer genome, the NCI machinery is always pulsing at near breakneck pace.
An integral part of this machinery is the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), which has been under the superb leadership of Dr. Harold Freeman since its establishment in 2001. Dr. Freeman's role at NCI is about to change. He will no longer serve as CRCHD Director, but instead will serve as a senior advisor to the NCI Director on strategies to achieve the 2015 goal in minority and underserved communities.
Dr. Freeman also will be involved in other areas, including serving as a conduit between NCI and federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration. For example, he will collaborate with CDC to create a joint NCI-CDC task force on patient navigation.
Dr. Freeman will also continue his pioneering work with patient navigator programs. Dr. Freeman's passion for and contributions toward ensuring the continued growth and evolution of these programs are enormous.
I would like to thank Dr. Freeman for his guidance and mentorship. We are fortunate that he will still be part of the NCI team. He has shared his unique vision, exceptional leadership, and unswerving commitment to improve the delivery of cancer services to populations in need of them.
CRCHD will continue to be a vital part of NCI, maintaining its direct reporting relationship to the NCI Director. Dr. Sanya Springfield, head of the NCI Comprehensive Minority Medical Branch, will serve as acting director, working closely with Dr. Mark Clanton, deputy director for Cancer Care Delivery Systems. A national search for a director will be launched in the near future.
Our commitment to addressing cancer health disparities is strong and will grow stronger, thanks in large part to initiatives such as the recently announced Community Networks Program (CNP). With $95 million in funding for 25 projects, the CNP will focus on addressing disparities instead of identifying and raising awareness about them.
Unfortunately, there is still much to do. Studies continue to highlight discrepancies in care. As reported in this week's Bulletin, for instance, a new study reports that older black patients were less likely to receive chemotherapy after surgery to treat colon cancer - the standard of care - than white patients. This was influenced by several factors, including social support and environmental factors - an apt demonstration that tackling disparities is a tall task that requires immediate and lasting attention.
Addressing disparities in cancer care - and all health care - must remain one of our country's top priorities. NCI is committed to supporting the research and delivering effective interventions, something that, thanks to the efforts of people like Dr. Harold Freeman, we are well positioned to do.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach

How much space does empty Innodb table take ?
How much space would empty MyISAM table take ? Probably 8K for .frm file, 1KB for .MYI file and 0 for MYD file. .MYI file can be larger if you have many indexes. How much space will Innodb take:
Efficient Boolean value storage for Innodb Tables
Sometimes you have the task of storing multiple of boolean values (yes/now or something similar) in the table and if you get many columns and many rows you may want to store them as efficient way as possible. For MyISAM tables you could use BIT(1) fields which get combined together for efficient storage:
CREATE TABLE `bbool` (
`b1` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b2` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b3` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b4` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b5` bit(1) NOT NULL,

Why do cats scratch?
It is normal for cats to scratch objects in their environment. Cats scratch
Because scratching is a normal behavior, and one which cats are highly
motivated to display, it is unrealistic for owners to try to prevent their cats
from scratching. Instead, the goal in resolving scratching problems is to
redirect the behavior onto acceptable objects.
Should I discipline my cat for scratching?
There may be occasions when constructive discipline is necessary to correct undesirable behavior. Constructive discipline only works if you catch your cat in the act of scratching. NEVER DISCIPLINE YOUR CAT IF YOU DO NOT CATCH HIM SCRATCHING. Constructive discipline after the fact will not change the behavior. Instead, your cat will likely learn not to scratch in your presence because constructive discipline will occur, but will learn it is OK to scratch when you are absent, because constructive discipline does not take place.
If discipline is interactive, it may cause your cat to be afraid of you or the environment, and may provoke defensive aggression. You may find it is far more effective to use remote intervention, in which you do not directly interact with the cat. Ideas for remote intervention include making a loud noise (whistle, pop can or pill bottle filled with rocks, or slap the wall), or use a water filled squirt bottle. If used by itself, however, constructive discipline is not going to be effective in stopping scratching problems, because it does not teach the cat where to scratch as an alternative.
How can I train my cat to scratch acceptable objects?
1) You must provide objects for scratching which are appealing and attractive
from the cat's point of view. If your cat is scratching unacceptable objects,
observe the physical features of these items:
The answers to these questions will help you understand your cat's
scratching preferences.
2) Substitute similar but acceptable objects for the cat to scratch on
(carpeted, corrugated cardboard, or sisal posts or possibly a log). These
objects should meet the cat's criteria you determined in Step 1. Place these
objects near the inappropriate objects that the cat is already using. Make sure
the object is stable and won't fall over or move around when the cat uses
3) Cover inappropriate objects with something the cat will not find appealing
such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminum foil, sheets of sandpaper, old bed
sheets, plastic carpet runner with the point side up, or attach cotton balls
with perfume, a muscle rub, or some other unpleasant odor. Be careful with odors
- you don't want that nearby acceptable object to smell unpleasant!
4) When the cat is consistently using the appropriate object. it can be moved
very gradually (about 1 inch/day) to a location more suitable to the
owner. It is best to keep the appropriate scratching object as close to the
cat's preferred scratching location as possible.
5) Do not remove the unappealing coverings or odors until the cat is
consistently using the appropriate objects in their permanent location for
several weeks or a month. They should then be removed gradually, not all at
Should I declaw my cat?
Due to various risks and potential complications involved, we discourage declawing. Ultimately, declawing is a decision only you, the cat owner, can make. Objective studies suggest that declawed cats are no more likely to bite or have litter box problems than are clawed cats. Consult with your veterinarian regarding risks
and benefits of declawing surgeries. If the choice is between the cat losing its
home orbeing declawed and NOT losing its home, we would much rather see the
cat stay in its home and be a lifelong companion. If you do decide to have your
cat declawed we would make the following recommendations:
How do I trim my cat's nails?
Before trimming your cat's nails, get it used to having its paws handled and squeezed. Begin by gently petting the cat's legs and paws while giving it a treat, making this a pleasant experience. Gradually increase the pressure so that petting becomes squeezing, as you will need to do to extend the claw. Continue with the treats until your cat will tolerate this kind of touching and restraint. This may take longer with cats that have rarely had their legs or paws handled.

More records fall as Bears move up to sixth in MPSF standings
Friday Results
LONG BEACH, Calif. – The 200 freestyle relay team at Northern Colorado made it three-for-three on school records by relay teams at the inaugural Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Swimming & Diving Championships, highlighting a phenomenal day by the AquaBears.
The relay team, along with senior Tori Gutt broke three school records on the third day of the championships.
The Bears climbed one spot into sixth place headed into the final day, scoring 102 points on Friday alone to bring their total to 202 and within 10 points of LMU in fifth with 212.
"We had 100 percent career best times for everyone who swam today," said Kelly McClanahan. "We did an amazing job and I'm very happy with tonight. The biggest highlight, of course, is the divers. We're sitting in sixth place single-handedly because of them. To go 1-2 in the diving is just unheard of and I'm very happy for them."
Freshman Gina Riggle, freshman Jamie Byrne, freshman Kira Alger and junior Jennifer Smith combined to swim a 1:35.52 to finish in sixth place and break the previous school record of 1:35.96 held by Kati Falger, Nan Liu, Becca Getz and Katie Schmitt from 2007.
Senior Tori Gutt qualified for the finals in the 400 IM, touching the wall seventh in a school-record time of 4:27.18. She breaks her own record of 4:27.61 from 2008. Freshman Courtney Van Oost also qualified for the consolation finals after swimming a personal best time of 4:29.17, which moves her into second all-time in Northern Colorado history.
Gutt then did almost the impossible, swimming the exact same time in the finals, 4:27.18, to finish eighth overall. Van Oost took another second off her time, finishing 11th overall and third in the consolation finals with her time of 4:28.16.
Gutt came back in the morning session to qualify for the consolation finals in the 100 breaststroke with her second-school record of the day. She timed a 1:04.70 to better the previous record of 1:05.83 from Rebecca Olree in 1998. Riggle also qualified for finals, finishing 17th in 1:05.39, which is second-best all-time in Northern Colorado history and also better than the previous record. Fellow freshman Renee Stephens and junior Amanda Donegan also finished high enough to advance to the evening session. Stephens timed a 1:05.97 to take over fourth on the top 10 list and Donegan touched the wall in 1:06.72 to move into seventh all-time.
Gutt also placed seventh in the consolation finals of the 100 breast, good for 15th overall, timing a 1:05.74. Riggle won the bonus finals, bettering her preliminaries time by 0.27 for a 1:05.12. Donegan swam a 1:07.01 in the bonus finals, while Stephens was just behind her in 1:07.09 for 22nd and 23rd, respectively.
The tandem of senior Kelly Schmeckpeper-Cook and sophomore Sara Moldenhaur swept the top two spots in the three-meter diving. Schmeckpeper-Cook pulled off the double championship after winning the one-meter board on Thursday evening. Friday, she scored 287.25 to win, while Moldenhaur scored 281.95 as the next closest competitor was separated by over 30 points. Moldenhaur posted a career-best score on the board and puts herself into fourth on the school's top 10 charts.
Van Oost blasted her way to a 57.17 in the preliminaries of the 100 backstroke, shaving over three seconds off her personal best time and finished fifth to qualify for the championship finals. Her time is the third-fastest in school history.
Sophomore Sammy Leonard qualified for the evening session after timing a 58.14, bettering her previous career best time of 58.59 and she climbs one spot into fifth all-time in school history. Byrne continued her strong championships, swimming a 59.30 in the preliminaries to move on and climb into ninth all-time on the NC charts. Hattie Oatts also advanced to the finals after shaving almost three seconds off her season-best time, timing a 1:01.00.
Van Oost finished sixth in the finals after touching the wall in 57.30. She was the only freshman to qualify for the championship finals in the event. Leonard finished second in the consolation finals for 10th overall after clocking a 58.25. In the bonus finals, Byrne swam a 59.58 for 21st place and Oatts clocked in at 1:01.74 for 24th.
In the 100 butterfly, senior Alisha Dauman shaved almost three seconds off her season-best time to clock a 59.90. Christina Gregory was exhibitioned, so she couldn't place, but the freshman swam a career-best time of 58.84 for the sixth-fastest swim in school history.
Alger, Alicen Fair, Hannah Halstrom and Jennifer Smith all finished in order in the 200 freestyle preliminaries. Alger shaved over three seconds off her career-best time, timing a 1:56.11. Fair swam a 1:57.41, Halstrom a 1:57.48 and Smith a 1:57.72 for season best times for the trio.
Saturday concludes the 2011 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Swimming & Diving Championships and the regular season for the Northern Colorado team. Both divers have qualified for the NCAA Zones and will compete at that event March 10-11.
"I'm really happy with the girls," said McClanahan. "The girls are getting up and racing even if they're tired – they're performing extremely well. We're going to the best we can to come back tomorrow morning and swim strong. We just need to do what we're doing and keep riding the wave."

Amarillo, TX - Nearly a trillion dollars to help our farmers and feed our neighbors is on the table in Washington. And whatever Congress decides will be felt right here in the panhandle.
The Farm Bill is an omnibus piece of legislation that effectively sets the budget for programs like crop insurance and food stamps. And it technically expired last September, but the American Taxpayer Relief Act that averted the "fiscal cliff: extended it for another year - so now it's up for renewal.
And after failing in the House on Thursday (Jun. 20), billions of dollars in federal aid is still in limbo.
The point of most contention was the more than $20 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The cuts would be made by restricting eligibility requirements, which would affect thousands in the panhandle; and consequently, our local food bank, which is already at its capacity.
"People that would lose their benefits; there'd be about 2,900 in the area that we cover," says Broc Carter of the High Plains Food Bank, "so we're looking at 2,900 new people needing food assistance from the food bank. 2,900 people - it may seem like a small number, but when you think about a family - those are real individuals with real families that need that food assistance."
But the Farm Bill also covers vital agriculture programs like some subsidies and crop insurance, which protects against disasters like the drought of 2011. The Texas Panhandle suffered an estimated $2 billion loss in that year's record drought.
According to a House Agriculture Committee report, federal crop insurance overall has sustained about $12 billion in cuts over the last five years.
"No matter what happens, agriculture's going to be worse off," says Dr. Stephen Amosson, an economist with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension in Amarillo, "You know, like if you all of a sudden got paid, or got paid insurance for a whole lot less income...are you better off? No."
The current farm bill is set to expire on September 30th.

I'm starting to enjoy thin crust pizza in favor of deep dish...
How did this happen?
Moderators: Jenise, David M. Bueker, Robin Garr
Karen/NoCA wrote:It happened because you finally get it! When I want pizza, I don't want to eat a bunch of crust. I want those delicious, healthy, non greasy toppings, with just enough thin crust to hold it up in my hand. Papa Murphy's does a grand job of this. Their gourmet vegetarian is outstanding....with my garden tomatoes, of course. Yes, I can make pizza at home, but it one of those things that I reserve for "lazy days" when I don't want to look at the kitchen. Their very thin crusts are sturdy enough to allow me to add my tomatoes, extra herbs, more red pepper, if I choose.
It even holds up well the next day, when I eat it for breakfast, COLD!

LaFollette Police officers got a run for their money when they encountered a suicidal woman.
On June 11 Officers John Baker Pam Jarrett, Susan Sowder, Det. Lt. Jeff Allen and Det. Sgt. Jason Henegar responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at a West Chestnut address.
The complainant informed officers Doris Kay Brooks, 45 of 114 West Chestnut Street, had allegedly become enraged when she couldn't find some papers at the home and threatened to kill residents of the home as well as the family dog.
LaFollette police were able to close the books on a two month old forgery case.
On April 23 Det. Lt. Jeff Allen began an investigation into a check forgery at First National Bank.
According to Allen's report, Samantha S. Clark, 31, of 1123 Pinecrest Road, went to First National Bank and deposited a check in the amount of $3,750 into her personal checking account. The check was allegedly issued from a business called Solutions Tech Staffing but came back as fraudulent from Wachovia Bank.
In a special called meeting Monday night, the Jellico Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved a lease contract between the town of Jellico and the Campbell County Board of Education (BOE). In the terms of the lease, the BOE has full access to Jellico's ball field during baseball and softball season.
During a previous board meeting, Alderman Mike Smith contested the wording of the original contract and asked that certain issues be clarified.
Several months of investigating tips and doing leg work paid off for the LaFollette Police Department (LPD) in the form of a raid complete with narcotics, firearms and counterfeit cash.
Last Thursday members of the LPD Narcotics Strike Force executed a search warrant at Kitt's Tire Shop located at 1833 Old Jacksboro Pike.
The warrant came after an exhaustive investigation into the activities of business owner Joseph Ted Kitts, 24, according to Police Chief James Lynch.
Over a year after the crime was committed, a LaFollette man is finally facing the consequences for his actions.
Robert W. Cheel, 28, of 539 Wild Wood Circle, LaFollette, was picked up on an outstanding warrant in Jellico on Sunday.
In April 2008, Cheel allegedly stole five air-conditioning units from a Jellico motel that he was employed at and then sold them to a recycling center in Corbin, Ky, according to the arrest warrant.
The motel owner valued the air conditioning units at $2,045.
WTNQ-FM has undergone a complete transformation that involves a new location with a new operating process. The station has been in transition for the past week hitting the air again on Wednesday morning.
The staff left the old way of playing music with the old station. Previously a song was chosen from a CD but with the new building comes a new procedure. An automation system now allows the DJ's to make their selections from a stream of songs on the computer's hard drive.
The LaFollette Utility Board met last Thursday night to discuss its 2009-10 electric and water budget.
This fiscal year's projected budget is based largely on spending and revenue trends from last year, with some exceptions.
LUB General Manager Kenny Baird said he forecasts a conservative $650,000 net income for next year.
"I've probably projected revenues at less and expenses at higher," said Baird of his projection.
Former Campbell County Animal Control Officer George Moses may have lost his job, but he is not going quietly.
On Friday, Moses filed a $1 million lawsuit against the county and County Mayor William Baird.
Moses is claiming he was unjustly terminated in mid- June because he is a "whistleblower."
An alleged would be burglar was caught in the act thanks to the help of concerned citizens.
When witnesses observed a man enter a Loop Road address they were suspicious. The suspicions were based on the resident's request to watch the home while she was gone for the day, according to LaFollette John Baker's report.
As Baker and Officers Daniel Terry and Pamela Jarrett responded to the burglary in progress call they observed David W. Owens, 29, of 1308 Loop Road, Apartment 139, exit through the front door.
School board members and commissioners met in separate meetings Tuesday evening to tie up loose ends on the last day of the 2008-09 budget cycle.
While board of education members managed to resolve their four budget amendments in short order, commissioners locked horns on a couple of issues.
Despite voting to give themselves an additional 92 days to adopt a budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year during a June 11 Budget and Finance committee meeting, commissioners were forced to make a decision about one item immediately.

SAN JOSE — While speaking at Ericsson's Business Innovation Forum in Silicon Valley today, Verizon Wireless executive director of long-term evolution (LTE) ecosystem development Brian Higgins got the inevitable questions about VZW's big network outage in April. Verizon's mobile broadband network cut out nationwide for about 24 hours, denying hundreds of thousands of 4G customers access to both the LTE and 3G EV-DO networks (Unfiltered: Verizon LTE back online, but VZW not identifying the outage's cause). Higgins didn't reveal any details about what caused the outage or which of its vendors were responsible, but he said that the issue was fixed and VZW has taken steps to ensure it wouldn't happen again.
�Certainly there are going to be some lessons learned,� Higgins said. �We're going to make some adjustments, and some of those adjustments have already been made. � It was an important issue. We worked through them. Our vendors were very responsive.�
Whoever the responsible party is, it probably wasn't Ericsson, whose North America VP of strategy and market development Arun Bhikshesvaran stood next to Higgins on stage. Ericsson supplies the radio access network and elements of the evolved packet core for Verizon's LTE deployment, but since the outage affected the entire network, rather than just a single vendor's markets, the problem was probably much further up in the network.
Cisco Systems provides the common packet data network (PDN) gateways, while Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia Siemens Networks both supply elements of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture bridging the whole network.

The International Monetary Fund is studying changes to how it handles sovereign debt restructurings after a turbulent period that has rattled the balance of power between governments and their creditors.
According to international officials familiar with the IMF's deliberations, the Fund is primarily concerned with countries delaying necessary restructurings and the difficulties involved in corralling bondholders into agreements.

The IMF has released a damning report criticizing the European ban on purchases of naked sovereign CDS (SCDS). It not only questions the fundamental premise that CDS trading contributes to market volatility but asserts that even if it does there are more effective ways to mitigate this. "Whether SCDS markets propagate contagion is difficult to assess since the risks embedded in SCDS cannot be readily isolated from those in the financial system," the report concludes. "However, SCDS markets do not appear to be more prone to high volatility than other financial markets. While there are some signs that SCDS overshoot their predicted value for vulnerable European countries during periods of stress, there is little evidence overall that such excessive increases in countries' SCDS spreads cause higher sovereign funding costs."

The International Monetary fund said the European Union was moving in the wrong direction by banning the use of a hedging strategy related to sovereign credit default swaps.
In a report published on Thursday ahead of its annual meeting April 19-21, the IMF said the ban on so-called naked SCDS is not supported by any empirical evidence and could in fact lead to more instability in the financial markets.

Tough new global financial rules will nudge up credit costs, but the slight drag they will place on major economies is worth it to achieve a more stable financial system, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday.
In a study examining the impact of global financial reform in Europe, Japan and the United States on credit pricing, the IMF concluded that average bank lending rates will rise 26 basis points in the United States, 17 basis points in Europe and 8 basis points in Japan over the long term in response to rising regulatory costs. A basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point

The International Monetary Fund has put the increased cost of collateral that will come from moving over-the-counter derivate trades through clearing houses at between $100bn and $200bn, considerably lower than other estimations. But the body still believes this could hit liquidity in the market for safe-haven assets.

The organizers of Greece's proposed debt-restructuring plan have moved to offset doubts about whether enough banks will voluntarily agree on March 8 to a loss-making debt swap to keep the country out of default.
By Robin Harding, Adam Thomson, Peter SpiegelPublished February 26 2012 Financial Times
Finance ministers from the world's largest economies ratcheted up the pressure on Germany to increase the size of the eurozone's €500bn rescue fund, saying the move would be "essential" to a decision by non-European countries to raise more resources for the International Monetary Fund.
By Carl B. WeinbergPublished November 5 2011 Barron's
Greece is on the way to default, sooner or later. Even Prime Minister George Papandreou's vow on Friday to step down and form a coalition government won't be able to stave it off. The dam burst early last week, days before the government won a parliamentary vote of confidence on Friday.
The International Monetary Fund is out with a new paper on derivatives after the storm, and it is a strangely academic exercise for an institution that one would hope would be a bit practical. In short, the paper argues that the focus in the Dodd-Frank Act on central clearing of derivatives is not the best solution and that central clearing parties are apt to become "too big to fail."

My June column about Edward Mike "Tiger Mike" Davis generated numerous comments from the readers of E&P. I share some of those with you here and encourage you to keep 'em coming!
Here are some of the best responses I got about my June column about Edward Mike "Tiger Mike" Davis.
Although I always enjoy reading E&P for its technical content and your comments on exploration technology, the lighter side of your column of June 2009 brought back some memories and some smiles.
I did work for Mike Davis for one day in 1984 and, incidentally, was never paid for my services. Unfortunately he is not the only one with that characteristic and, presently, some "respectable" companies are not paying their bills, either.
He was interested in "expanding his operations" in the Middle East (the Persian Gulf, actually) and called me to drop by his office which, at the time was located in Greenway Plaza.
He had a very spacious, but cluttered, office with all sorts of memorabilia (it seems that when one reaches a position of power, he carries all his memorabilia with him in his office). He did not wear his usual (as you describe it) khaki polyester leisure suit but, instead, wore a light beige striped seer-sucker suit with, of course, the white belt and shoes. He was of slight build and reminded me somewhat of Woody Allen (but not the face).
The most significant thing in his office was the presence of paintings of tigers on the walls (remember the Mao ze Dong remark that the US is a paper tiger?) and stuffed toys, or small statues of lions and other feline animals. The most noticeable object was a large porcelain leopard (about 4 ft tall) on the right hand side of his desk (therefore on my left side) of a beautiful alabaster color with black spots (remember that black spots on maps represent oil fields).
He was quite welcoming but immediately put me on notice that, "I am the one who does the talking around here," to which I replied, "If you hire me as a consultant and you do the talking, how do you expect to decide where to explore and how to make the right decision?" His answer was, "Because I am very perceptive; just show me your maps!"
He insisted that what he wanted were all my "secret" maps of oil fields and that he would compensate me adequately for their delivery. I explained to him that consultants offer their services and expertise but do not reveal their clients' secrets.
He cut the meeting short, telling me that I was wasting his time and I should "get the hell out of this office!" Which I did. However, before leaving, I suggested to him that he should rename his company "Leopard Oil Company." He was curious enough to ask why. To which I replied, "Because a leopard has black spots all over the f-ing place."
I don't think he would have paid me anyway.
Another reader says there was more than one Mike Davis.
The Mike Davis character is not limited to Tiger Oil. During my career in the oilpatch I have seen many Mike Davises, all the way from small independents to some of the majors, and not only among executives but across the board among geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, and drillers. I guess it is all part of the folklore that goes with this crazy but fascinating business of petroleum exploration.
Kind regards to all and compliments on an excellent (and much needed) publication.
I read with interest your "Lost in a Web of Intrigue" ala Tiger Mike. I thought I would add a little info to your Tiger Mike library. I first ran across Tiger Mike in the early '70s in Bakersfield, Calif. I was working for a Bakersfield drilling contractor, and Tiger had one of our rigs under contract in the Kettleman Hills area. The well depth was below 15,000 ft (4,575 m) and had taken a kick.
Tiger had come out on his Lear jet out of Las Vegas with his briefcase full of $1 million in $100 bills and started handing bills out to the rig crews. He also liked to drop $100-bill tips for the local waitresses. Tiger would run his credit up with the local vendors, who would then cut him off. The $1 million was used to settle his accounts and get his credit line moving again. This well was eventually plugged back to kill it and redrilled, and it turned out to be a dry hole.
I agreed to work with a gentlemen who owned a bunch of used drilling equipment and proceeded to build about 10 rigs rated from 8,000 ft (2,440 m) to 15,000 ft drilling depth. Tiger then brought this company and called it Tiger Drilling.
Tiger was a truly obnoxious individual especially with his Tiger Oil employees. He did treat his drilling company people differently because we had no fear of him. He needed us more than we needed him. I guess that is what made it work. I was witness to many of his beratings of his oil company folk. His vocabulary didn't go far beyond four-letter words. Any deal requiring negotiating that he got involved with would eventually fail due to his personal touch.
I do recall that he parlayed an oil discovery in the late 1960s in North Dakota to bankroll his operations for some time. He was truly a wildcatter. He would sell his mother's shoes if meant a source of cash to drill the next well. I lost track of him when he went to Houston. Do you know if he is still alive?
I do not know the answer to this question. Can anyone help?
One reader thinks maybe all the tough talk was a good thing.
I enjoyed reading your article about Tiger Mike. A few years ago, a surly supervisor showed us some of the Tiger Mike memos and told us we should all be glad we did not have Tiger Mike as a supervisor. We were all young, had been in the industry a few years, and were skeptical that they were real. Supervisors could not talk to employees like that. He assured us that they were very real. Quick Internet searches revealed nothing, just like you said.
Thanks for doing the research and confirming my fear — it could be a lot worse, and supervisors did talk to employees like that! But maybe that is what some of us need.
Here is the link to the original memos: http://tinyurl.com/5of4xa

A Break in the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 Investigation?
New evidence appears to confirm that pro-Russian separatists were involved in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. A man, known only as Vasilijus, stepped forward a little over a week ago to inform a Lithuanian news site that he is the owner of the Volvo truck identified as having transported the Buk missile system that is thought to have brought down the passenger jet. He claims that pro-Russian separatists took control of the truck and his base of business operations late last month. He has stated that the white Volvo truck cab shown in footage of the missile system's movement is unique to his truck and thus ties the Buk launcher to the separatist band that stole it from him.

When do you keep pushing and when is it time to give up?
Learning to pick battles is an important life lesson. While working with people who have very different views is valuable in many respects, when does it cross the line into a battle of egos that doesn't move you closer to a goal? Please share experiences and insights you've had...be they professional or personal.

Jan 15 2013: Nice to see you again, Amy. I assume you are asking about interactions among adults. When the matter is important and the listener influential and potentially open-minded, persistence makes more sense in terms of energy and resources than when the issue is not very important, the person not influential (in the sense of likely to hurt others), and the person clearly is not open, for whatever reason, to views other than the ones he holds most dear. Of course the calculation is different for a person who gets pleasure from argument itself. [I am not including situations when the other person is violent or psychopathic or something, in which case cutting away quickly may be well warranted!]

GENERIC NAME: diclofenac and misoprostol
BRAND NAME: Arthrotec
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Arthrotec is a combination of diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) similar to ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn), and others that is used to treat inflammation, pain, and fever. Diclofenac, like other NSAIDs works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a family of chemicals produced by the cells of the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. In addition, they support the function of platelets that are necessary for the clotting of blood, and protect the lining of the stomach from the damaging effects of acid.
Prostaglandins are produced by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (Cox). There actually are two Cox enzymes, Cox-1 and Cox-2. Both enzymes produce prostaglandins that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. However, only Cox-1 produces prostaglandins that support platelets and protect the stomach. Diclofenac blocks both Cox enzymes and reduces prostaglandins throughout the body. As a consequence, ongoing inflammation, pain, and fever are reduced. Since prostaglandins that protect the stomach and support platelets and blood clotting also are reduced, NSAIDs can cause ulcers in the stomach and promote bleeding. Misoprostol is a synthetic (man-made) prostaglandin that stimulates secretion of mucus in the gastrointestinal tract. Mucus protects the lining of the stomach from acid. Misoprostol has been shown to reduce the frequency of ulcers of the stomach caused by NSAIDs. Arthrotec was approved by the FDA in December 1997.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Tablets (diclofenac/misoprostol): Arthrotec 50 (50 mg/200 g), Arthrotec 75 (75 mg/200 g) .
STORAGE: The tablets should be kept at room temperature, 15-30 C (59-86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Arthrotec is used for treating signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis in patients at risk for developing ulcers and complications of ulcers due to NSAIDs.
DOSING: For osteoarthritis the recommended dose is Arthrotec 50 given three times daily. Patients who cannot tolerate this regimen may be treated with Arthrotec 50 or 75 twice daily. The recommended dose for treating rheumatoid arthritis is Arthrotec 50 given 3-4 times daily. If this regimen is not tolerated, Arthrotec 50 or 75 twice a day may be used. Administering Arthrotec twice daily is less effective for preventing ulcers. Taking Arthrotec with food may reduce stomach upset. It is recommended that Arthrotec not be taken with alcohol because of the increased risk for ulcers.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: (Please also see the drug information for diclofenac.) Diclofenac is generally used with caution in patients taking blood thinning medications (anticoagulants), such as warfarin (Coumadin), because of the increased risk of bleeding.
Patients taking lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) can develop toxic blood levels of lithium because diclofenac may inhibit the elimination of lithium from the body by the kidney.
Side effects from methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) and cyclosporine also may be increased by diclofenac.
Diclofenac may reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure-lowering drugs. Since prostaglandins are important in the control of blood pressure.
Antacids reduce the absorption of misoprostol and may delay absorption of diclofenac. Magnesium-containing antacids worsen misoprostol-associated diarrhea. Therefore, Arthrotec should not be administered with magnesium-containing antacids.
