SUFFOLK - Security is on the mind of event planners in Hampton Roads following the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Deanie Eldridge is the executive director for the American Diabetes Association. He says the safety and security of the cyclists and volunteers for the upcoming Tour De Cure race in Suffolk on Saturday is a priority.
"I think everyone has thought about (security) and we have had a specific conversation with the City of Suffolk and with the police department," says Eldridge.
Police spokesperson Diana Klink said the department would not disclose any information about their presence, but Eldridge says there will be police support at the festival site and along the course.
This year participants will receive blue and yellow ribbons, the colors of the Boston Marathon, to show support for those impacted by the bombings.

Check out Dale Talde's delicious vanilla scallops!
See the Video!
Seared Vanilla Scallops with passion fruit brown butter, watercress salad
See the Video!
Seared Vanilla Scallops with passion fruit brown butter, watercress salad
U-10 Scallops 8 pcs
Butter 3oz
Oil 1 tablespoon
Lemon 1 pcs
Goya passion fruit juice 4oz
Chives 3 tablespoon cut into 1 inch long batons
Watercress 1 bunch, cleaned and trimmed
Vanilla Beans 6-8 beans, halved and hallowed out
Salt and Pepper to taste
Method: Halve the vanilla beans and remove the pulp from each half. Carefully skewer the scallops on a stick, placing a halved vanilla bean shell in between each scallop. (For more ease cooking the scallops, you may want to use 2 skewers, each containing 4 scallops.) Season the outside of the scallops. In a really hot pan, sear the scallop skewers in the oil for 2-4 minutes (or until browned) on each side. Once the scallops are properly seared on both sides, reduce heat and add butter to pan and baste the scallops in the butter. After 2 minutes of basting, remove scallops and add passion fruit juice and squeeze fresh lemon juice into the pan with the browned butter and mix together. On the plate add watercress and chopped chives. Then cut the scallops in half and place over the top of the greens, then dress the scallops and greens with the pan sauce from the scallops.
(For this recipe, you only need the halved shells of the vanilla beans. You can discard the vanilla bean pulp or mix it into a cocktail.)

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
I don't think Miller's going to be ready to go at the beginning of the season. Last I heard he would be back half way through the season.
have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if you became a hired goon right out of school? you would have had a chance to learn the ropes from other goons and rub shoulders with all kinds of seedy characters. oh the stories you would be able to tell.

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
I think you have to add Kiesel to the list. Maybe take off Starks. I'd like to keep Max.
If James Harrison doesn't cut his contract in half he needs to go. Same thing for Troy really.

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
Max Starks Deserves At Least One More Year With The Steelers
Jan 5th, 2013 by Dominic Di TollaSteelers
Quick, name the only Offensive Lineman to start each and every regular season game of the 2012 season at the same position for the Steelers.
Give up?
Believe it or not Steeler Nation, but if you guessed Max Starks, you would be correct!
Thats right readers, Starks not only started all 16 of Pittsburghs regular season games at the Offensive Lines most important spot (Left Tackle), but one could argue that he was Pittsburghs most consistent and effective Offensive Lineman all year long.
Despite his solid effort this past year, Starks does not believe that he will be coming back for a 10th season in The Steel City, even after one of the best seasons of his career from a run-blocking and pass-protecting standpoint. In a recent interview with Mike Bires of The Beaver County Times (via Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com), Starks shared his thoughts on the prospects of him sticking with the Steelers in 2013:
Anytime you draft tackles in the second round in back-to-back years, I think its their plan to have them as the starting left and right tackles in the future. Thats their goal. So being a realist, I am not expecting to be back.
Would it be nice to see Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams step-up and emerge as the teams starting Left and Right Tackles next year? Heck yes it would. If both could play the entire season together (16 regular season games, plus hopefully playoffs) and develop into a pair of solid book-ends to make the veteran Starks expendable during this crucial rebuilding process, I would be downright overjoyed.
Unfortunately, I live in a little place called reality. And I know that asking for a season without injuries along the Steelers Offensive Line is a pretty tall order, especially over the last half decade in which assorted ailments have plagued Pittsburghs players in the trenches.
If you readers care to remember, Craig and I expressed last Summer why it would be in the Steelers best interests to re-up the former Florida Gator to a veteran 1 year deal. Few agreed with us and our thoughts on Starks being a steady insurance policy, especially after he sustained a knee injury during Pittsburghs Wild Card Playoff Loss to Denver last January. But just like clock-work, once the preseason began Pittsburghs Offensive Linemen began dropping like flies due to injuries. Thankfully for Pittsburgh, all Max did was come in and play effective football and protect the Steelers signal-callers blind-sides throughout the regular season.
Because quality depth and health remain such areas of concern along the Steelers Offensive Line, I believe that G.M. Kevin Colbert should at least attempt to re-up Starks for one last go-around with the franchise in the neighborhood of a 1 year $1-1.25 million deal (his contract last season was worth $890,000). In fact, I hope that if the Steelers do re-up Starks that the starting Left Tackle position is open to competition during this offseason. That way, Pittsburgh will give the Top 3 Tackles (Starks, Gilbert, and Adams) on their depth chart the opportunity to win the blind-side job outright. As I alluded to before, I would love to see these younger players and high Draft selections like Gilbert and Adams have to stay hungry and fight for a chance to start, especially after such an under-achieving and injury-plagued season like this past one was. Maybe the extra heat on the 2nd and 3rd year players will inspire them to take their collective games to new levels and leave the veteran on the sidelines.
Health permitting next season, the Steelers must find a way to play the best player at each position along the Offensive front, regardless of age and experience. Thus, if Max is yet again believed to be the best option the team will have available at Left Tackle, they should go with him until Starks either calls it quits, or a younger player usurps him, not simply going with them because of their Draft Status.
As it stands now, I believe that there is no harm in the Steelers attempting to sign Starks to another one year contract in the neighborhood of $1 million dollars this offseason. Best case scenario, Max wrestles the Left Tackle job away from Adams and Gilbert. Worst case scenario, Starks is a quality Swing backup at the Left and Right Tackle positions and stands as a steady veteran presence for the young players along the Offensive Line.
Yet if another team offers Starks more money and/or a starting job outright this offseason, then I say more power to him and Thank You for 9 years, 123 Regular Season Games, 96 Starts, and the opportunity to watch 2 Super Bowl wins. I just believe that it would be unwise for the Steelers brass to simply dismiss a player like Starks so easily, especially when the O-Line Issues have yet to be fully solved.
Plus, whats wrong with having a steady, safe, and largely inexpensive insurance policy like Starks at your teams disposal at such an important position?

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
I love all 4 players. But if all four do go, then their replacement would be Worilds, Spence, Gilbert(or Adams) and McClendon.
Team with those 4 moves instantly start trending to becoming one of the youngest teams in the league. If the Steelers drop Hampton and put McClendon at NT. Steelers front 7 on defense becomes a complete rebuild and all very young.
Defensive Line: Hood, McClendon, Heyward, ages 26, 27, 24
Middle Linebackers: Timmons, Spence: ages 27, 24
Outside Linebackers: Worilds, Woodley: ages 25, 28
I am praying Spence is back at 100% for training camp next year. He was looking like a Derrick Brooks type middle linebacker during preseason. And he has lots of speed.
Steelers HAVE to resign players like Keenan Lewis.
My hope, and I know the Steelers are big on the draft and not delving into the free agent pool, but my advice would be to look into free agency a little more this season. Let all the old guys walk. Start your young studs and let go of the malcontents like Mendenhall and Wallace. Nothing destroys a young team more then when you have two players in prime positions playing and talking like (bleep) (bleep).
Let Mendenhall go. Sign Ben Tate and make him your feature. Keep Dwyer as the number 2 and Redman as the 3rd down back and goal line guy.
Let Wallace go, this frees up another 10 million you do not have to pay. Is Antonio Brown a number 1? I do not know, his high ankle sprain hurt his season a lot. If anyone here hasn't had a high ankle sprain before, it is like tearing a ligament in your MCL. It isn't season ending but tends to screw up your season a little. I say, let Plaxico have another shot in the off season to see if he can help. Otherwise, Colbert will need to pluck another 3rd round stud at WR in the draft.
Let Colon go. Too many injuries, too many bonehead plays. They aren't worth the 5 games during the year he has awesome run blocks in games.
Gilbert, Decastro, Pouncey, Foster, Adams. That's as solid line as you can have right now with no major tweaks and Big Ben being a QB. Maybe if you got a 20-25 carry RB, line will play better and keep Big Ben from ruining the season by holding the ball for 56 seconds in a game against the Jaguars and gets injured next year.

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
Ben Tate is in the middle of a 4 year deal. Not sure why everyone keeps saying to "Sign" him. He can't be signed. Lewis has to be a major priority. the #1 priority, in fact. The offense did fine with Wallace out. When Ike was down and Lewis went out, though, the secondary went to hell.

Re: We could lose 4 key veterans
Hampton, Foote, Starks can all walk. Harrison should be restructured because we really dont have much behind him other than Worilds and Chris Carter. If Steelers let Harrison go, then they draft an OLB high and deal with Woodley and Worilds at OLB.....which isnt great.
Larry Foote could sign for vet minimum and backup Spence and Timmons, but I really hope he doesnt start next season.

Marketing…the only business that could ever think a baby with a smartphone could sell a stock trading service.
Of course, we get to deal with the wonder and magic of marketing online, the single most-effective way for many to reach their target market, and push the "Give me your money NOW!" button.
I've been in broadcast radio for over 25 years, and have received a "street level" education in what does (and doesn't) work in offline marketing. A year ago, I decided it was time to get serious about translating that knowledge to making money online.
Is it simple? Yes.
Is it easy? Hell no.
Subscribe to my newsletter on the upper left and I'll share what I've learned about the difference between "simple" and "easy", and how making money from your house can be both…just usually not at the same time when you first start.

Next iPhone may feature new 19-pin dock connector
A new dock connector design for Apple products has been bandied about for quite some time, but it's now beginning to look like the rumors are true. John Biggs at TUAW's sister site TechCrunch reports that the blog has verified that Apple will add a 19-pin connector to the next iPhone, replacing the venerable 30-pin connector that has been around since the third-generation iPod.
The new port has been glimpsed in both blog posts and a video, and is apparently similar in size to the MacBook Pro / MacBook Air Thunderbolt ports. However, Biggs was told by three manufacturers that the pin-out for the new port is definitely different from Thunderbolt. These manufacturers all agreed that the new 19-pin dock port is being developed by Apple.
What does that mean for accessory manufacturers? They'll be anxiously awaiting official word from Apple about the new dock connector, and will most likely have to develop adapters that connect the new iPhone to old 30-pin accessories.
The new design is a nod to space savings in Apple devices, since the new connector is much more compact than the existing design. Other internal space savings are expected to come from the adoption of the newly-approved 4FF (Fourth Form Factor) "nano-SIM," an Apple design that was recently approved by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

LTE: I Guess You Follow the Money
Dear Editor:
I find it very interesting that our newly-elected State Rep. Tommy Sankey stood on our capitol's steps and expressed, "If they want our guns, come and try to get them, because it's not going to happen."
I totally agree with his statement. I have purchased guns at Bob's Army & Navy and Grice Gun Shop. They will never be removed from my home.
However, I don't understand why Mr. Sankey wasn't able to show up for a very important meeting with the state's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the proposed Boggs Township Landfill. When campaigning he had expressed he was against it.
This is very important to the people of his district who elected him. I guess we have to follow the money. And, by the way, I left the NRA more than 25 years ago when they started supporting assault weapons for whoever had money to buy them. I guess you follow the money.
Common sense tells me that weapons don't belong in the hands of everyone. Without knowing where they are and checking the history of people who are buying them, it's a danger to everyone, regardless of where they are being purchased.
Thank goodness for the Second Amendment that's to keep politicians in their place.

Mr. George served us well for 38 years. His resume includes Chair of the Energy and Environment Committee. What was it exactly that you expected a freshmen representative to do that Mr. George did not? As the House was in session at the time of the hearing, would you rather he did not attend to the tasks he was hired to do just to show 'solidarity?' I believe that the Commissioners pressed for the hearing, perhaps you should have encouraged them to schedule at a more favorable time.
As to "Following the money," Thomas R Sankey III is doing exactly the job we hired him to do at the place we sent him to do it.

It absolutely amazes me at how dense the people of this nation have become and how foolish our politicians are today. A piece of paper is not going to stop a bullet. You can pass all the "laws" you want to and put unlimited words on paper that will affect the "law abiding citizen" but will have zero effect on the criminal element in our society.
How many "existing laws" did Adam Lanza break in the commission of the Newtown shootings?
Does anyone really think the gangs in the cities get their guns from legitimate gun dealers?
If you are a criminal, you can get a gun on the streets of most towns in the US today, without background checks, without restrictions. The only people whom new "laws will affect are those that choose to obey those laws. Doesn't anyone understand what the word "criminal" means anymore?
I believe what must frustrate politicians more then anything is the fact that they are absolutely powerless and helpless to do ANYTHING to "control" this. Were the able to control the use of alcohol during prohibition?
Are they able to control the use of illegal drugs in the country now?
Is there anyone who truly believes the government, whether federal, state or local, really be able to keep guns out of the hands of criminals?
Even if they could, will that stop the insane murderer from using another method?
Think for a minute: Is Methamphetamine legal? Cocaine? Heroin? Do you see it in any stores? And yet, criminals get them all the time. Do you really think the government is going to be able to stop criminals from getting guns or committing crimes?

No one is trying to take away anyones gun providing they fall under the guidelines of owning a gun. We should all have the weapons used when the second amendment was written then there would be no issue. Plus the taking up of arms was to protect our country. Now it seems the imaginary enemy is everywhere and no doubt lurking under rocks even. If one is against this country and its government then one should leave this country and not take up arms against its own. That is often considered a traitor especially in war time.
Since the second amendment was written we have a military in place to protect our country and any one wanting to invade us. We also have instituted a police force in every town in this country. With that also created laws to sustain a civilized society.
The inventions of assault guns do not belong to the individual to circulate in society or you will have exactly what we are experiencing. The ban on assault guns was lifted in 2002 since then massacre's have been on a steady increase. This should not be much of a debate. All sane intelligent caring people should be alarmed at this loss of freedom.
It is our lack and our prompt attention and action that will cause more loss of life.

When the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment this country had recently won it's independence from a tyrannical monarchy. Many people today mistakenly believe they wrote the 2nd amendment so people could protect their property and lives from thieves or even from foreign invasion. That is not the case.
The forefathers knew how suppressive a government could become and that an unarmed citizenship could be completely at the mercy of any government controlled military. That is what the second amendment was and is to protect against. It gives the citizens of this country a last stand ability against a tyrannical government that becomes oppressive and out of touch with the electorate. That is what the second amendment was written for and to think of any other reason is to completely miss the reason altogether.
You mentioned that "We should all have the weapons used when the second amendment was written then there would be no issue." That is very true. And just as true there would be no issue if those are the weapons that our government had to use as well. However, keep in mind that at the writing of the second amendment the people had just as modern an arsenal as did the government. They were on equal footing.
Also if you read the 2nd amendment you will not see anything about the restrictions of what type weapon or arms the citizen is entitled to. It doesn't mention rifles, handguns bayonets or any such description. The term "Arms" could mean F-16 fighter jets, Abrams M-1 tanks or Apache attack helicopters. The second amendment never put limitations on the citizen, only on the government not infringing on that right. Also note that this is not mentioned as a privilege that can be taken away but a right that cannot be infringed upon. So perhaps you are correct and we should balance the scales today, and allow those that can afford them their constitutional RIGHT to bear "ARMS".
Any restrictions on the citizen in the USA bearing arms is an absolute violation of the constitution of the United States of America.Your even suggesting that is in fact an act of treason in itself as it suggests overruling the constitution.

Guns and weapons are words with no meaning unless you know the definition. Guns are just objects, weapons have a purpose and like a politician versed in the use of definitions well, the speech insights outcomes pro or con. Government has failed it's people cause the people have failed to be responsible, failed to keep the balance. Sorry, they are trying very hard to take your weapons and your guns. Laws and rules another set of lost meanings. A laws intent is to be kept, a rule to be broken in today definitions. Why not make a law for instance, no speeding or one to stop buses from being driven you have the previous one already and under the definition a law has become a rule. If you follow the words of the leaders, "if we could save one life we should try" well then a bus has just terminated 8 lives let's try! Right now you have the laws on the books shouldn't you have another one it stands to the present reasoning. Also if these types of guns should be kept off our streets as one has also suggested then what is a swat team or police officer doing with one? If you think for one moment that anyone wants your weapon/gun your dead on! The only solution to the problem is that you FORCE the world to stop making guns and weapons of destruction then remove them from the hands of ALL but the ALL would try another object to turn into a weapon: knifes ,forks ,bombs, cars, buses, train, planes, ball bat, hands the list is endless. Don't be miss lead the powers to be want you disarmed! Also a gun is not a weapon until you decide it will be. The point don't make the decision. Stop making laws when you don't enforce what exists.

The last statement written by this author makes me think that this person should have never been given a permit to carry a weapon. Gabrielle Giffords comes to mind when I read this statement.

A south Georgia county is looking for contractors to construct a dam for a lake project which has been in the works for more than 80 years.
Grady County commissioners are now pre-qualifying interesting bidders for the Tired Creek Lake project.
When completed, the 960-acre lake is expected to provide fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities.
If you live in Grady County, you've probably heard of the Tired Creek Lake project.
"I heard they were considering doing something like that down at Tired Creek and it would be nice if the project went through because at least people will have somewhere to go," said Grady County Resident Juanita Hernandez.
The project was proposed in the 1930's but didn't happen. It stalled again in the 70's because of financial and permit restrictions.
Now the county is pre-qualifying contractors for a 42 foot high, half mile wide dam that will create the 960 acre lake.
"I think it would be wonderful, especially for my grandkids. They don't have anywhere to run around or walk. I think it would be nice," said Hernandez.
While many folks in Grady County do support the lake project, others are against it.
One Grady County resident who did not want to speak on camera says he thinks the lake would be a waste of money because it wouldn't attract that many visitors.
22-year old Robert Thomas disagrees.
"I think it would be good to give us something to do because mostly what you see is what you get. I mean we have Barber Park, but other than that we have nothing to do to keep ourselves out of trouble."
Some of the credentials the county says they are looking for in a contractor are experience building at least three big dams in the last 10 years and having worked in the Southeast United States.
The county is anticipating a 60-day period to advertise for and receive bids prior to a bid opening.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Bones and teeth house 99% of the calcium in the body, while the remaining 1% is distributed in other areas. Calcium is best known for its role in maintaining the strength and density of bones.
Calcium also plays a role in many physiological activities not related to bones including blood clotting, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, regulation of enzyme activity, and cell membrane function. Because these activities are essential to life, calcium is the most closely regulated element in our bodies. In fact, calcium is the ONLY mineral that has its own regulatory system (the parathyroid glands). Parathyroid glands control how much calcium is in our bones, and how much calcium is in our blood.
Total calcium remains the first line test for evaluation of calcium abnormality and is found in all Life Extension panels containing the Chemistry/CBC profile (LC381822).
Ionized calcium is the form of calcium that is free or unbound to serum protein (mainly albumin). Measurement of ionized calcium provides additional insight if you have signs of kidney or parathyroid disease. It is also used when you have certain conditions that alter your levels of albumin including malnutrition.
Fasting for 6 hours prior to the blood draw is required; however please make sure you drink water in order to stay hydrated. Take all medications as prescribed.

42 U.S. Code § 8484 - Electric utility conservation plan
prev | next
(a) Applicability
An electric utility is subject to this subsection [1] if—
(1) the utility owns or operates any existing electric powerplant in which natural gas was used as a primary energy source at any time during the 1-year period ending on August 13, 1981, and
(b) Submission and approval of plan
The Secretary shall require each electric utility subject to this section to—
(1) submit, within 1 year after August 13, 1981, and have approved by the Secretary, a conservation plan which meets the requirements of subsection (c) of this section; and
(c) Contents of plan
(1) Any conservation plan under this section shall set forth means determined by the utility to achieve conservation of electric energy not later than the 5th year after its initial approval at a level, measured on an annual basis, at least equal to 10 percent of the electric energy output of that utility during the most recent 4 calendar quarters ending prior to August 13, 1981, which is attributable to natural gas.
(2) The conservation plan shall include—
(A) all activities required for such utility by part 1 of title II of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act [42 U.S.C. 8211 et seq.];
(3) Any such plan may set forth a program for the use of renewable energy sources (other than hydroelectric power).
(d) Plan approval
(1) The Secretary shall, by order, approve or disapprove any conservation plan proposed under this subsection [1] by an electric utility within 120 days after its submission. The Secretary shall approve any such proposed plan unless the Secretary finds that such plan does not meet the requirements of subsection (c) of this section and states in writing the reasons therefor.
(2) In the event the Secretary disapproves under paragraph (1) the plan originally submitted, the Secretary shall provide a reasonable period of time for resubmission.
[1] So in original. Probably should be "section".

Last year, caffeinated alcohol beverages were taken off the U.S. market after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned several manufacturers that adding caffeine to alcohol was unsafe. Six states — California, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Vermont – are now considering bills that would ban the beverages altogether.
However, sweetly-flavored malt beverages referred to as "alcopops" – with up to four or five servings of alcohol in a "single-serving" can – are still on the shelves, and Marin Institute wants states to take action, according to a Jan. 26 press release.
Marin Institute is distributing a model statute (PDF) that states can use to craft their own legislation to limit alcopops. Targeted beverages would include, the press release said, "Anheuser-Busch InBev's Tilt brand, Phusion Project's [sic] re-formulated Four Loko line, United Brands' reformulated Joose line and some of Mike's Hard Lemonade products."
Alcopops come in 23.5-oz cans and contain up to 12 percent alcohol, which Marin Institute estimated is about the same as 4.7 standard drinks, or four or five beers.
"They took the caffeine out of their drinks," said Bruce Lee Livingston, who directs Marin Institute, "but now they are fueling youth binge drinking with giant single-serving cans of alcopops."
Because alcopos are sweet and fruity in flavor, they're believed to be especially attractive to underage youth. And underage drinking isn't a small problem: 10.7 million underage Americans drink, according to Marin Institute, and about 70 percent of them binge drink. Why does that matter? For one thing, because alcohol-related problems connected to underage drinking cost the country about $60 billion every year.
Michele Simon, research and policy director at Marin Institute, said that a federal ban on caffeinated drinks was not enough. "As the primary regulators of alcoholic beverages, the states have full legal authority to ban dangerous alcoholic products like supersized alcopops."
The model statute contains language that would allow states to outlaw caffeinated beverages and limit the size and alcohol content of alcopops.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Kentucky assistant coach Orlando Antigua has been named the head coach of the Dominican National Team it was announced by the Dominican Federation on Thursday.
Antigua has spent the past two seasons serving as an assistant to John Calipari for the Dominican team which fell one win shy of advancing to the nation's first Olympic appearance in 2012.
"I'm extremely excited to have this opportunity," Antigua said. "Anytime you can coach and be a participant of a national team, it's very special. For Coach Calipari and (UK Athletics Director) Mitch Barnhart to allow me to take part in this opportunity means a lot, on a personal level as well as professionally.
"I'm also thankful to the Dominican Federation, (Federation GM) Eduardo Najri and (Federation President) Rafael Uribe for their confidence in entrusting this program and team to me," Antigua said. "It is my goal to build upon the recent success we've enjoyed and continue to make this a program the Dominican Republic can be proud of."
A native of the Dominican Republic, Antigua suited up for the national team in 1994-95 and 1997-98. Antigua then served as an assistant coach with Calipari and helped lead the Dominicans to the finals of an Olympic qualifying tournament before losing to Nigeria. The loss prevented the Dominican Republic from reaching its first Olympic games.
Antigua will remain as an assistant at UK after having helped lead Kentucky to a national championship in 2012. Since arriving at UK, the Wildcats have advanced to a pair of Final Fours and reached the Elite Eight three of four years. Antigua serves as Kentucky's lead recruiter and he has helped UK haul in five-straight No. 1 rated recruiting classes.
"I'm happy for Orlando and this opportunity to lead the Dominican Republic national team," Calipari said. "I'm proud of what we were able to accomplish over the past two years, getting this country to the brink of its first-ever Olympic appearance. I'm confident with the experience he has that Orlando will build on the team's success and take it to new heights."
The Dominican Republic will report to training camp at the beginning of August before taking the floor for a pair of exhibition contests against Puerto Rico on Aug. 14 and Aug. 16. Antigua will then lead the Dominicans into competition at the Jenaro "Tuto" Marchand Continental Cup from Aug. 22-26 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I am not so sure about Vic owners being the most intelligent, but they do seem to be the people who are not very brand loyal, instead they are looking for value or performance or both. In my case, I find that the Vision meets my desires and at a decent cost for me.

Am I brand loyal? Yes. As long as the brand is loyal to me - building a good quality bike, that is dependable, and at a fair market price for what you get. Am I loyal to Victory? Yes. Am I exclcusively loyal to Victory? No. I will buy and own any quality bike out there that fits my needs.
I am more loyal to the biking experience, and seek the best bike to fill my particular needs. Victory does a good job at that.
Pretty much what Dawg said. Had some of most bike companies products in my garage over the last 30yrs. Don't consider myself loyal to ANY product . As long as it works for my puroses, I'll keep it. If it don't, I wont't. Or I see the company starting to take customers for granted (ignoring warranty issues, etc)
As long as I'm able, I will ride a motorcycle, I just can't tell you what brand that might be.
I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just ME!
I will always ride a bike, I just can't tell you what brand it will be.

To dsjr's point, I am loyal to a quality product. I used to own a Star Raodliner and back in 2006 it was probably at the top of the list for cruisers. Handling, aluminum frame, HP, torque....it could hold it's own.
Now that I have been on a Vision and a Cross Roads, I stopped into a local dealer a couple weeks ago and sat back down on my old ride. Bottom line, what was once one of the best bikes out there just a couple years ago cannot hold a candle to the current Cross bikes....as I started to see the shortcomings more than the positives mentioned above (no cruise, no 6th gear, bad seat, cheaper amenities, horrible bars....).
5 years from now I could be riding an Indian, or a Harley Davidson.....or I could still be on a Victory.
QUALITY over speed. Doing a crappy job fast is worthless, so take pride in your work as so few do these days. If you want to lose respect, then act like your work doesn't matter.

I've never gotten more pure joy of motorcycling from any bike I've ever owned than I have out of my Vision. For me personally, it lacks nothing.
I've had the privilege of riding sweep when the factory truck has been in town the last couple of years, and as a result, I've ridden everything that Victory makes. Although I appreciated at least something about everything in the line-up, nothing suits me like the Vision. If I had room for more than one bike, I wouldn't think twice about making a High Ball a stablemate for Nessie. But since I don't and can only have one motorcycle at a time, were it not for the Vision, I would not be riding a Victory.

First portrait ever, from photo refference, he is a friend of mine.
His pullover had like a bilion of stripes so i just made it simple
My first digi paint ever ( background is just a lame done filler ;P)
I had no idea of blending and such it was before i found CA forums.
Done in haste caricature, (i know i failed at glasses
And here it is, first exercise from Bumskee's thread, an ONION! ;D
Hope You enjoy! Coments and Crits are welcome all the time!
Last edited by Icecold; November 23rd, 2012 at 04:44 PM.
that portrait shows a lot of skill. you realllllly need to push the darks though...if you did that, that portrait would be really amazing. I'm really surprised it's your first one!
Thanks for the advice, and yes it really is my 1st portrait ever.
here's the one with adjusted levels and contast, it looks a bit less realistic in some places now however.
Ok another piece of of mine
and the mask itself a bit closer
And a quickly done abomination, just for fun:
speed painting
Well done so far! why not combine the mask with that abomination thingie and some weird tubes...?
That would work together i think, thanks for the advice, but i'm planning to do something else. Since i didnt go to any art school i must learn the basics, perspective, pose drawing, anatomy etc etc. first, i found Andrew Loomis books in online versions, so i will soon begin the studying, hope i'll master the art itself oneday, thats my desire .
The adjusted portrait is a lot better, trust me. Values are one of the most important thing to describe a form and make it look 3 dimensional. Try to use bigger brushes especially when starting out on a portrait and block in the areas that share the same value, then go on from there...
Ok i decided to post some old unfinished stuff before i start my Loomis studies.
It's a work in progress so.... ya know not done, obviously
I can't stop myself muehehe, another weird speed painting.
Some random stuff just to get back to shape in using a pencil once again :]
Another one:
Ok some digital painting, a short sword i called it stinger, the highlights are quite bad on the handle and i'm aware of that , yet still learning.
Custom brushes were usefull here.
That was a sweet gasmask design and an awesome knife. Your early pencil drawings were nice also. Keep up the good work.
Insert very insightful quotes here ...
- get back to work!
Thank you! nah the pencils are quite lame i just had to remmember how to work with it that's all, anyway thanks for the support it really helps.
I feel that i broke some kind of barrier and now its easier to make some of my visions come visible to others ;>
new stuff coming, a Work in progress at the moment:
Last edited by Icecold; March 30th, 2009 at 02:02 PM.
That first portrait is reallly good dude...did you overlay the photo to get everything all lined up in the early stages?
I would say aside from that you should do more studies if you want to learn how to paint...the imagination stuff has ideas in it, and isnt terrible, however studying real things will go far into showing your imagination!
I would really look into some bridgman or loomis etc. to learn to draw using shape construction
Portfolio: http://www.jakecollinge.com
Thanks, you are absolutely right, i need to do more studies however i lack the patience, i'm too damn lazy ehh. I guess problem lays somewher inside my head i need to poke myselft to do the hard work ^^
I'm aware, that I lack basic knowledge, yep those books would help, i've even did get loomis and will study more with it i promise! :]
As for the portrait i used the photo refference to do a quick sketch to catch the placement as you noticed.
Here's a sketch from Loomis book which was the refference:
(Looks way better on paper, scanned stuff sucks =/ )

I'm a bit bust so not much time for drawing, but here's a little practice i've done in a break:
More Studies from Bridgeman's book.
Hey Ice, I found your sketchbook looks nice
I liked the stinger sword, looks like an orc warchief sword that have seen endless battles and is all worn out from war.
I havent done anything in PS for couple of days now so this is just a quick speed paint for warmup, but it's definitely not my day today couldnt achieve what i wanted, some blackouts ocurred ^^
the portrait is really nice and the anatomic studies too.. keep drawin
and thanks for stoppin by in my sketchbook
Thank you !
Here's some more practice:
Ever wondered why ugly things are born?
Tried some oils in Ps, without any refference just to see if i will handle it:
Last edited by Icecold; May 1st, 2009 at 12:29 PM.
A work in progress, pose is from refference, because my anatomy drawing skills are way too bad at the moment. It's going to be somewhat of a fire element chick with some punk accesories, ofcourse if i wont change my plans on the fly hehe.
+ a doodle!

Office (502) 782-1780
Eighteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Oct. 2 through Oct. 8)
Date of News Release: 10/10/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 18 people died in 15 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Oct. 2, 2006, through Sunday, Oct. 8, 2006.
Thirteen of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and one involved a motorcycle. Four pedestrians were killed. Preliminary data* indicates that alcohol was a factor in two of the motor vehicle crashes. Eight of the motor vehicle victims were not wearing seat belts and the seat belt status of one of the victims is not known. The motorcycle victim was not wearing a helmet.
A quadruple-fatality crash occurred in Monroe County. Nine single-fatality crashes occurred in Bath, Calloway, Daviess, Jefferson, Lincoln, Meade, Rowan, Warren and Wolfe counties. The pedestrian fatalities occurred in Boone, Calloway, Casey and Russell counties. The motorcycle fatality occurred in Floyd County.
Through Oct. 8, 2006, a total of 674 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways. This is 83 fewer than were reported for this time period in 2005. Of the 674 fatalities, 554 were motor vehicle victims, 353 of whom were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of 37 of the victims is not known. Sixty-five fatalities involved motorcycles, and 41 of the victims were not wearing helmets. There were eight ATV crash fatalities and none of the victims were wearing helmets. There were three bicycle victims, one of whom was not wearing a helmet.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

News and Event Details
The list is long of graduates from the Communicating Arts Department of the University of Wisconsin-Superior who make their living on stage.
Associate Professor Cathy Fank, in her 10th year as director of UW-Superior's University Theatre, began the inventory with Brian Matuszak, originator of Renegade Comedy and more recently of Rubber Chicken Theatre. She added Julie Ahasay, Liz Larson, Greg Anderson, and Rick Sordelet.
Iowa-born Fank returned to the Midwest to be near her aging parents after running two theater companies in Boston. Her UW-Superior students may choose majors or minors in her department, and can earn a master of arts degree. However, any student may apply to be part of cast or crew in any of three on-campus plays produced each year.
Prolific alumnus Brian Matuszak, with undergraduate and masters degrees in Communicating Arts, now performs and directs citywide, as well as teaches communications full-time at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He is grateful to former UW-Superior theater head John Munsell, who mentored him as a young man, convincing him that communicating arts was the right place to be. Munsell instilled passion and showed Matuszak how to excel professionally in theater.
Matuszak successfully produces hard-to-do pieces such as last year's "American Buffalo" by David Mamet.
Julie Ahasay is almost a household word in the Twin Ports. She recently directed "Circle Mirror Transformation" at Teatro Zucconi's Renegade Theater in Duluth, and performed in the Play Ground's version of "Equus," directed by Liz Larson. Originally from Shell Lake, Wis., Ahasay graduated from UW-Superior with a major in English and a minor in theater. Her graduate work was in communications with an emphasis on theater.
Besides her work onstage, Ahasay is an adjunct professor at the College of St. Scholastica, teaches and gives workshops at the Duluth Playhouse.
Ahasay, Fank and Matuszak ticked off name after familiar name of University Theatre alumni: Greg Anderson, who directed "Wait Until Dark" at County Seat Theater; Minden Hulstrom, director of Scholastica's recent, eloquent "Nine Parts of Desire"; versatile Cory Regnier, of "Rent", "The Producers", "Putnam County Spelling Bee," and Shack Dinner Theatre actor and director; marvel Chani Ninneman, playwright and creator of Duluth's brand new Wise Fool Shakespeare company that put on a "Hamlet" last season no one will forget.
World-famous Sordelet has scores of Broadway productions to his acclaim: "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King," and "Tarzan," to name a few. He works as fight coordinator and choreographer for events as diverse as a Super Bowl half-time show, New York's Metropolitan and La Scala operas, Disney, and "Pirates of the Caribbean." He also teaches at Yale.
The UW-Superior list gets longer:
And there are more. Merry Renn Vaughan received a bachelor of fine arts degree in directing and producing and a master of arts in arts and theater from UW-Superior. She says the '70s, '80s and '90s produced "a great core group of people. Karmically, everything came together."
Kathy Fank is on sabbatical this year, traveling to other universities to "steal what I can and bring back." Lighting and sound designer, Mark Spitzer (did you see Eugene O'Neill's "Moon For the Misbegotten"?) is taking a shot at directing Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author" in November.
Fank's ideas for the flourishing University Theatre abound. She's excited about hiring students to teach in her summer camp, and dreams of Shakespeare as commedia dell' arte. She'll do a musical next year, and, for a clincher, would she like to offer a music theater degree through the University of Wisconsin-Superior.

Imagine if the air around you had only a scarce amount of oxygen. Now, consider what fish and other wildlife in the Sound face every summer when dissolved oxygen levels drop to low levels. The condition, known as hypoxia, occurs in the Sound every summer when dissolved oxygen levels in bottom waters fall below 3 mg/L. Hypoxia forces some fish and invertebrates to scatter, while making others more susceptible to disease. When concentrations fall below 2 mg/L conditions become suffocating; marine life unable to flee may die. Since 1987, LISS has tracked the area and duration of hypoxia. In 2007, hypoxia lasted 58 days, and at its peak affected 162 square miles—about four times the size of Manhattan.
The discharge of chemicals into the Sound and its tributaries has often been associated with manufacturing processes. During the industrial revolution heavy metals started to accumulate in the sediments of the Sound. Concentrations of mercury off Norwalk Harbor, for example, increased by more than 1,300 percent from 1820 to 1955.
For many, the most obvious sign of poor water quality occurs when a "no swimming" or "no shellfishing" sign gets posted because of potential pathogen contamination. Pathogens are disease-causing bacteria and viruses that enter the Sound from inadequately treated human sewage and domestic and wild animal wastes. Sources of pathogens include stormwater runoff carrying animal waste from paved surfaces and lawns, and human waste from improperly maintained septic systems. Some older communities also still use an early generation of sewer system that collects stormwater runoff and sanitary sewage into the same pipe. During dry weather, these combined sewer systems transport wastewater to the sewage treatment plant. During rainfall, if the combined wastewater volume exceeds the capacity of the plant, the system overflows and excess wastewater is discharged directly without adequate treatment. Other sources of pathogens can be leaking sewage pipes, illegal connections that bring sanitary waste to storm sewers, sewage treatment equipment failure, and discharge of sewage from boats.
Trash floating in coastal waters and bays or washed up on the beach is called floatable debris. Floatable debris reduces the enjoyment of the Sound, can be a nuisance or hazards for boaters, and can harm wildlife.

If business or traveling leaves one outside the UK and a personal or occupational pension plan is left behind, QROPS @ expatspensions offers the opportunity to invest funds and transfer the pension investments without taxes and penalties. The funds and investments must be transferred to an HMRC approved plan to incur the tax savings and forego penalties. The investment plans allows those to keep their pensions intact and not suffer penalties for life events. The approved plans offer several savings and pension building formats for a variety of preferences and satisfies the need for transferring funds without international taxation and penalties. The governing HMRC delegates the need for regulated fund transfers and insures best investment practices for removed UK residents.
QROPS is a Qualified Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme that permits the transfers of overseas schemes without penalties when using the HMRC approved programs and classes or levels of schemes. The basic designation will allow those who are no longer UK residents to move their pensions to the location of new residence or that there of determined to be allowable by regulations of the government and HMRC. The HM Revenue and Customs division regulates the classes and sets each determining factor for investment potentials. As allowable by the HMRC the investments can be designated by the individual to result in the best earning potential and is not limited to only residential plans of the residence governed.
The plans are regulated under the QROPS division to be allowed in only states that do tax and offer the pension plans to be allowed within the mandates as set with tax exempt offers also including divisions and percentages of amounts over 1.5 million which are subject to another set of regulations but is determined as a unified amount. The scheme must also be available to the residing residents of the states and able to invest in the same schemes as the international residents or persons. These regulations mandate that a fair practice is guaranteed and taxation is not necessary. The HMRC offers several programs for moving pension investments allowed in the plan and has a privy to the basic lists that are allowed and the mandated regulations that are afforded and easy to use.
HMRC Regulated QROPS Protects Investors and Pension Portfolio Schemes
Regulations of QROPS can include a variety of plans and may be restricted in some formats. "International Only" schemes are not allowed under the plan and are not approved by the HMRC while the plans immersed in the investment have to be placed in a pension plan of at least 70% of the transferred funds. Most of the regulations are set to protect the investors and their investments and not set as penalties. Many of the out of scheme sets that are not approved qualify as very high risk while returns may forecast great earnings, they are not guaranteed and often result in default of the transfers with no gains and only losses encompassed. The protected rights of the investors is regulated as well as the proposed regulations to enforce the ideal investment opportunities.

Expansion of the Gallery
By 1890 the gallery had outgrown Renwick's red brick building. Stymied by neighbors who would not sell their property to allow the gallery to expand at the original site, the Trustees bought a lot a few blocks away at 17th Street and New York Avenue. Architect Ernest Flagg was commissioned to design a Beaux-Arts building to house both the museum and the school. Ground was broken on June 26, 1893 and the finished building opened to the public on January 8, 1897; by this time the collection included more than 700 works of art. The old building was sold to the U.S. Government in 1901, and is now part of the Smithsonian Institution.
Up until this time, the gallery had only been able to display its permanent collection supplemented by loans from artists and private collectors. The increased space of the new building allowed the museum to pursue other activities such as special temporary exhibitions. The popularity of such shows led to the establishment in 1907 of the nationally recognized Biennial Exhibitions of Contemporary American Painting. These large exhibitions and their generous prizes attracted the attention of major American artists including Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, Willard D. Metcalf, Edward W. Redfield, Gari Melchers, Edward Hopper, and William M. Paxton. The gallery capitalized on these opportunities to expand its American collection.
Significant additions to the gallery's holdings came during the 1920s and 1930s through the generosity of several major American collectors. In 1925 Senator William Andrews Clark of Montana bequeathed his extensive collection of European art, including almost 200 paintings, sculptures, tapestries, rugs, antiquities, stained glass windows, and a Louis XVI-era salon. Architect Charles Platt designed a new wing to house this collection, which was built with funds donated by the Clark family. The Clark Wing was completed in 1928. The Clark Wing housing this collection, built using funds donated by the Clark family, was opened to the public in 1928. Further additions came through a bequest from Edward and Mary Walker in 1937, including French Impressionist works by Renoir, Monet, and Pissaro. As a result, the gallery's collection came to include a fine selection of European art, although in general the Trustees have continued to restrict purchases to the work of American artists.
More recent additions to the collection include the Gordon Parks Collection of Photographs, the Evans-Tibbs Collection of African American Art, and the Edelson Collection of European Avant-Garde Photography.
Throughout its remarkable history, the Corcoran Gallery of Art has responded to changes in American life and art while responding to its founder's admonition that the institution be used "for the purpose of encouraging American Genius." It is a tribute to William Wilson Corcoran's vision that the gallery and school continue to find new ways to respond to this challenge.
