What are the symptoms of peptic ulcer?
Symptoms of ulcer disease are variable. Many ulcer patients experience minimal indigestion, abdominal discomfort that occurs after meals, or no discomfort at all. Some complain of upper abdominal burning or hunger pain one to three hours after meals or in the middle of the night. These symptoms often are promptly relieved by food or antacids that neutralize stomach acid. The pain of ulcer disease correlates poorly with the presence or severity of active ulceration. Some patients have persistent pain even after an ulcer is almost completely healed by medication. Others experience no pain at all. Ulcers often come and go spontaneously without the individual ever knowing that they are present unless a serious complication (like bleeding or perforation) occurs.
How are peptic ulcers diagnosed?
The diagnosis of an ulcer is made by either a barium upper gastrointestinal X-ray (upper GI series) or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD or esophagogastroduodenoscopy). The barium upper gastrointestinal (GI) X-ray is easy to perform and involves no risk (other than exposure to radiation) or discomfort. Barium is a chalky substance that is swallowed. It is visible on X- rays, and allows the outline of the stomach to be seen on X-rays; however, barium X-rays are less accurate and may miss ulcers up to 20% of the time.
An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is more accurate than X-rays, but usually involves sedation of the patient and the insertion of a flexible tube through the mouth to inspect the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Upper endoscopy has the added advantage of having the capability of removing small tissue samples (biopsies) to test for H. pylori infection. Biopsies are also examined under a microscope to exclude a cancerous ulcer. While virtually all duodenal ulcers are benign, gastric ulcers can occasionally be cancerous. Therefore, biopsies often are performed on gastric ulcers to exclude cancer.

I've been asked to prove this.
In class we proved this when $n=15$, but our approached seemed unnecessarily complicated to me. We invoked Sylow's theorems, normalizers, etc. I've looked online and found other examples of this approach.
I wonder if it is actually unnecessary, or if there is something wrong with the following proof:
If $|G|=35=5\cdot7$ , then by Cauchy's theorem, there exist $x,y \in G$ such that $o(x)=5$, $o(y)=7$. The order of the product $xy$ is then $\text{lcm}(5,7)=35$. Since we've found an element of $G$ of order 35, we conclude that $G$ is cyclic.

Swarovski 6685 28mm Graphic Pendant Denim Blue
The mysterious, almost non-shaped shape of this graphic pendant from Swarovski is a great interpretation of the fashion world's current obsession with androgyny. The need to find gender-neutral elements is met with this component meant to be used in both active and casual looks. With its rich Denim Blue shade, this 28mm pendant beautifully displays a casual blue hue with both feminine appeal and powerful authority. The modern twist on a classic idea is what makes this component a must-have.

Which one is correct? en or de?
Un verre de/en cristal.
Une veste de/en cuir.
Which one is correct? en or de?
Both de and en can introduce a complément circonstanciel de matière. The Trésor de la langue française says that en is more strongly attached to a material than de (En marque plus précisément la matière que de.)
The correct words are:
(Because Un verre de cristal would mean it is full of crystal, like un verre d'eau).
(Both could be accepted, but Une veste de cuir is almost a tongue twister and Une veste en cuir is pronounced Une vest'en cuir).
If you are looking for a general rule, I'm sorry, but it depends. Usually, you can say both and you will be understood, but there are (as always) exceptions. Your first example is one.
I would also say that both are acceptable answers and at least in spoken French, there is really no rule. A few more examples:
Hope this helps!
As everyone already said, both are allowed.
The only difference between the usage of de/en I found is here (french link), and is about the figurative language.
In figurative language, we preferably use de, except (french language speciality) in the expression en or.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – Despite out-hitting North Georgia 9-8 for the afternoon, Anderson University baseball dropped to Peach Belt Conference foe UNG in the opening game of a three-game set, 6-2, Friday evening at Bob Stein Stadium.
With the setback, the Trojans drop their third straight game after taking 2-of-3 from South Atlantic Conference foe Carson-Newman last weekend. North Georgia improves to 6-4 for the year.
Headlining the AU lineup was sophomore middle infielder Kyle Bailey who finished 3-for-4 with a run scored. Bailey is now 5-for-8 in his last two games and hitting .360 with a .418 on-base percentage as Anderson's leadoff batter.
Classmates Steven Cooper and Garrett Bernardo each posted two hits for the evening, as the duo posted AU's only extra-base hits for the game. Cooper added on to his hitting streak with a 2-for-4 night with two doubles, as the first baseman now has a hit in nine straight ballgames. Bernardo tallied the Trojans' first triple of the season in the seventh inning, as the transfer from the University of Maine is now hitting .316 with a .447 slugging percent for the year.
Left fielder Nathan Galliford and shortstop Brett Cash each notched a hit, as Galliford has now recorded a hit in his last four contests. During the stretch, Galliford is hitting .417 with a .500 slugging percentage.
North Georgia's Andrew Gordon paced the Nighthawks with a 3-for-4 performance, adding two RBI. Leadoff hitter Tremayne Toorie finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, while shortstop Joey Cecere knocked an RBI double in the fourth inning en route to two UNG runs.
After Anderson took a 1-0 lead after a Cash single, scoring Bailey, North Georgia scored three runs in the third, two runs in the fifth and an extra insurance run in the fifth to put the game out of reach. The Trojans would try to make a comeback in the seventh when Bernardo scored on an LJ Newman sacrifice fly. After the run, AU was unable to cross the plate against for the rest of the evening.
Nighthawk starter Brandon Agar tossed seven complete innings and struck out 10 Trojans, giving up just one walk en route to his third win of the season. Agar is now a perfect 3-0 for the season and carries a 1.32 ERA for the young season.
Anderson looks to even the series on Saturday when the teams lock up for the second day of a three-day set. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

I've been playing with some Google Chrome user scripts (just like Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox) to add enhancements to my Stack Exchange sites.
Sometimes I find it's difficult to scrape what I need from the site's HTML but it could be made a lot easier just by minor tweaks such as adding HTML IDs and classes.
On Wikipedia we can submit bug reports and feature requests of this nature because MediaWiki has built in support for user JavaScript and CSS.
Stack Exchange has a lot of wiki-like features but is proprietary and doesn't seem to officially support extensions but also doesn't seem to discourage them.
Should I request new HTML classes and IDs to make it easier for myself and others to make site enhancements?
Also, are questions like this question and/or questions of the type addressed here better suited to meta.stackoverflow or to stackapps?

Skirt steak is tender and flavorful, and stacks up well against the Latin flavors that accompany it in this recipe.
Serves: Serves 4
- 21/2lb (1kg) trimmed skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2in (1cm) thick rounds (keep rings together)

- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
The glaze
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

- Combine the orange juice, vinegar, tomato purée, and chipotles or chile powder in a medium saucepan and, on the stove top, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer vigorously until the mixture has reduced by two-thirds and become slightly syrupy (30-40 minutes). Remove the glaze from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- While the glaze reduces, halve, pit, and peel the avocados; cut each half into thin slices. Put the avocado slices, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently until the avocado is evenly coated, then transfer to a serving dish, cover, and set aside until serving time.
- Build a fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is hot (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- Rub the steaks and onion slices with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the cumin, paprika, and salt and pepper.
- When the fire is ready, put the steaks on the grill directly over the coals and cook until they are done to your liking (4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Brush the steaks generously with the glaze during the last 45 seconds of cooking on each side.
- To check for doneness, poke each steak with your finger to test its firmness (see The "hand method"); if you're unsure, make a cut in the thickest part of one steak and peek at the center; it should be slightly less done than you like. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak on the bias across the grain, arrange the slices on a serving platter, and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
- While the steaks are resting, put the tortillas around the edges of the grill and cook briefly, flipping every 10 seconds or so, until they are soft and pliable (about 1 minute). Wrap the stack of warm tortillas in a large napkin or foil, and take them to the table along with the lime-marinated avocados and the steak, so your guests can "roll their own."

I have been hired as a junior programmer to work on projects that extend existing functionality in a very large, complex solution. The code base consists of C#, ASP.NET, jQuery, javascript, html and xml.
I have some knowledge of all these in addition to fair knowledge of object-oriented programming and its fundamental concepts of inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism and encapsulation. I can follow code up through its base classes, interfaces, abstract classes and understand a large part of the code that I read while doing this.
However, this solution is so humongous and so many things get tied together whenever I navigate through the code that I feel absolutely overwhelmed. I often find myself unable to fully follow everything that is going on with objects being serialized, large amounts of C# and javascript operating on the same pages and methods being called from template files that consist mainly of markup.
I love learning about code, but trying to deal with this really stresses me out.
Additionally, I do know that a significant amount of unit testing has been done but I know nothing about unit testing or how to utilize it.
Any advice anyone could offer me regarding dealing with a large code base while using Visual Studio 2008 would be greatly appreciated. Are there tools that I can use to help get a handle on what is going on? Perhaps there are things even in Visual Studio that I am not aware of. How can I follow the code to low level functionality in order to get a better grasp of what is going on at a high level?

IE8 "Unresponsive Script" Prompt
Since upgrading to ExtJS 4.1, we are getting the "A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly" prompt in IE8 in places where we never saw it before.
We have a few places where form components are built up dynamically in loops, and these seem to be worse affected. Even simple things like live-search combo boxes are affected though.
The message comes up almost instantly without any delay.
These parts were all fine in ExtJS 4.0.7.
I know the message is related to the amount of lines of JavaScript statements to be executed. Therefore, since our code hasn't changed, I imagine the amount of statements in ExtJS 4.1 must've increased dramatically.
Is there anything at all we can do to sidestep this issue without having to attempt redesigns on our screens?
The weird thing is, if you dismiss the prompt, the screen continues to run perfectly fine at a very reasonable speed. However, the product isn't really in a fit state to sell with this prompt appearing everywhere.

If you're doing something like this:
var ct = new Ext.container.Container({ renderTo: document.body }); for (var i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { ct.add({}); }
var ct = new Ext.container.Container({ renderTo: document.body }); Ext.suspendLayouts(); for (var i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { ct.add({}); } Ext.resumeLayouts(true);
store.forEach(function(rec){ rec.set('someField', rec.get('someField') + 1); // triggers n row updates });Code:
store.suspendEvents(); store.forEach(function(rec){ rec.set('someField', rec.get('someField') + 1); // triggers n row updates }); store.resumeEvents(); grid.getView().refresh();Evan Trimboli

Kink Blamed for Hurricane Katrina by Religious Political Extremists
Southern Decadence, a world-famous LGBT event, was slated to start August 31st. According to an evangelical Christian group that regularly demonstrates at LGBT events, "Hurricane Katrina has put an end to the annual celebration of sin." (http://www.repentamerica.com/pr_hurricanekatrina.html)
"NCSF is appalled that this religious political extremist group is using a national tragedy to further their own goals," says Susan Wright, NCSF Spokesperson. "Now is the time for everyone to join together in sympathy and support for our Southern brothers and sisters."
Many local leather organizations including Mr. and Ms. Louisiana Leather base their groups' events around Southern Decadence. (http://www.nola.com/festivals/southerndecadence.ssf) Other events such as French Connection's N'awlins in November, one of the country's finest swing lifestyle conventions held every November, may also be affected by this tragic storm.
NCSF urges you to extend a helping hand to all people in the Southern states who have lost their homes, livelihoods and loved ones by sending a donation to the Red Cross Relief Fund. (https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp)
A project of NCSF and the NCSF Foundation
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is a national organization committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the United States that advances equal rights of consenting adults who practice forms of alternative sexual expression. NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.

I shoot RAW+JPG, namely NEF and JPG. After viewing sometimes hundreds of images (using a simple program) and deleting the JPGs, I have many unnecessary leftover NEF files. If there was a script to delete any orphan NEF files in the directory, that would be very helpful. I read a similar question here "How to delete JPG files, but only if the matching RAW file exists?" and the solution presented with the Command Prompt works very well. I was wondering if one was available for my predicament?
I wrote a script in Python to do the work for me. It's called
Basically it iterates over all the files in a given folder and moves orphaned raw images (in my case
Here is an outline of the algorithm:
The tool will tell you how to use it when run with the help option
This problem also occured to me, which is why I wrote this tool. I'm using my DSLR to take JPEG or RAW+JPEG images, never only RAW. When sorting out blurry or otherwise bad shots, I use the JPEGs to quickly take a look at them and delete the bad ones. This leaves me with left over RAW images of which I deleted the matching JPEGs (for a reason).
Using the question you mentioned - I have written you a script
ok warning! be careful with this script! - MAKE A BACKUP
1) Make a bat file called clean.bat and put it in the dir that you want to work with
2) Then enter the following into the bat file
3) Open the command prompt as admin and navigate to the folder with the clean.bat 4) run clean.bat
Basically the flow of the script is
Please, PLEASE test this out!
UPDATE: Made script change to work with folders that have spaces in them
Here's my python script to delete cr2's w/o a jpeg.
It searches recursively within the current directory, ".". It considers all images in all folders.

I commute to work, and often wear my khakis on the ride in. As such, my clothes often get chain grease on them. What products or cleaning strategies do you know that work to remove chain grease from clothes?

There is a lot of sense to @Neil Fein's 'get used to it' attitude as, with some garments, you are just not going to get the oil out. 'Prevention is better than cure' definitely applies, but we are past that, aren't we...
In the office environment you have tea making facilities, including a sink with some washing up liquid and maybe some disposable hand-towels. Put the washing up liquid on the affected area neat, without water. Make yourself a brew whilst it soaks into the fabric. Now dab out what you can with a damp cloth and get it dry with the hand towels. This will remove the stuff that has not ingrained in yet and stop it spreading, e.g. to cross-contaminate your other leg.
When it comes to the wash you can apply an 'oxy' stain remover spray to the affected area before popping it into the machine. The active ingredient in 'oxy' is tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and this enables bleaches in normal washing powders to work at 40 degrees (so no boil wash needed). Now add biological washing powder to the machine and put it on the 40 degrees wash cycle. The 'biological' enzymes for removing grease in such powders only work effectively at 40 degrees, so, with TAED and the enzymes working away on your stain (that has already had the excess removed) you can effectively get your clothes clean with minimal effort.
Swarfega hand cleaner is something you may also want to look into getting - this stuff is brilliant for cleaning hands and clothing alike. Again you put the stuff on raw without water, then wash it off once done.
'Prevention is better than cure', so make sure your chain is clean and lightly oiled. A heavily oiled chain collects dirt and it is this dirt that does the damage. You can also investigate getting a wax lubed chain as that copes with dirt better. If you run hub gears or single speed you may also want to consider using one of those 'rustless' chains that has a special coating and does not need oil.
Hope that helps!
Most ordinary baby wipes will get grease out of clothing if you get to the stain quickly enough - or, at least, get enough of it out that the rest will later wash out. You can also carry spray-n-wash pads or keep them in your desk at work. However, baby wipes are also good for cleaning your hands - handy after changing a flat, or fiddling with a bike chain.
However, it's even better to avoid getting grease on your clothes to begin with, so I suggest using a pants clip or rolling your right pants leg up. A full chainguard is great for this, but it's not always practical on a commuter bike. This won't prevent the problem completely, bit it does help minimize it.
For these reasons, I found that when I was commuting, I tended to favor my black or dark-colored pants.
Ordinary degreaser you can get at Walmart or grocery stores will remove bike chain grease from clothes and car seats.
I've generally used Swarfega (the standard green variety). As well as being great for getting hands clean it works on my jeans before they go into the wash. You just rub it in before you put them into the wash.
Vanish grease remover from vanish.co.uk will do the job very well, just get to it as soon as you notice it.
I was an automotive mechanic for quite a few years, yes I did get quite greasy when young and dumb, I used Naptha to get the grease out of my jeans, worked well, but it did make the washer a bit smelly, I Kept some naptha in a spray bottle, I sprayed the grease spots right before washing and used extra soap. This worked quite well for many years. There were only a few "stains" it did not get out over the years, but I think this was other contaminants besides oil and grease, but it always removed the grease completely.
I never experienced any negative side effects for the washing machine besides the after smell.
I use a combination of chain degreaser (hey it works good on the chain right) and Fels Naptha soap.
To prevent grease from getting on your pants leg to begin with on the commute, I'd suggest using those straps to hold your pants legs from flapping around. They're usually available at the LBS. To remove any grease, you could keep a small spray bottle of Simple Green at work, mixed at the strength you want, and just slightly wet the grease stain and then dab on the Simple Green and work it in.

It seems that the RPG genre of books and stories have standard components, that fans have come to expect to see from authors. Is there a definitive guide somewhere to these components, with instructions for a starting author?
Are there any useful guides to writing stories based in RPG universes/aimed at a role playing audience?
Not exactly a definitive guide, but Kameron M Franklin might have a few ideas. :)
First, some reality: books written in a copyrighted RPG setting are almost always commissioned by the owner of the RPG property, and those publishers very rarely accept unsolicited manuscripts. So before you write your awesome D&D adventure novel, you really ought to go to the WotC website and determine if they'll even look at your manuscript. (Assuming you want to get published. If you just want to have fun, go ahead, but be aware that it's illegal for you to then publish the story.) If you do get a contract to write a tie-in novel, the publisher will give you their guidelines with exactly what they expect.
If you're merely hoping to write an RPG-like epic fantasy adventure, then there is no better advice than just to read lots and lots of them. There is no written formula; you'll pick up the unwritten formulas just by being well-read in the genre.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Man sentenced in
center escape

Leeper walked through a kitchen door at the correction center on April 30 during a routine kitchen cleaning and walked out onto state Route 43.
A City Police officer saw Leeper later that day in the 400 block of Westwood Drive after responding to a call of suspicious behavior. The officer said Leeper at first gave a fake name but later admitted he was the person who walked away from the EOCC.
City man sentenced
in chase, gun case
STEUBENVILLE - Dallas Fleshman, 19, of 424 S. Sixth St. was sentenced to one year in prison on Monday by Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. after Fleshman pleaded guilty to improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, tampering with evidence and obstructing justice.
Fleshman was in a vehicle stopped by City Police on Jan. 13. He took off running, and a city officer testified Monday that he saw Fleshman throw a handgun over a fence. Fleshman was caught and officers retrieved the loaded handgun.
Defense attorney Eric Reszke said Fleshman had never been arrested as an adult and no drugs were found on him or in the car. County Assistant Prosecutor Samuel Pate said Fleshman had a history of delinquency as a juvenile, which escalated to serious felonies as an adult.
Sheriff's deputy
cleared of accusations
NEW CUMBERLAND - A Hancock County sheriff's deputy has been cleared of accusations that he physically abused his child.
The deputy, whose name has not been released, came under investigation for physical abuse of a minor after his ex-wife leveled charges against him, authorities said. The deputy has legal custody of the child.
Sgt. Scott Adams, of the West Virginia State Police's Crimes Against Children Unit in Wheeling investigated the matter at the request of Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher. Adams said the case is closed.
"Based on statements from the alleged victim and other information provided, the complaint was unfounded and the charges were found to be not true," he said.
Adams would not release the name of the deputy or details about the allegations.
Fletcher could not be reached for comment but had stated previously the allegations were the result of a "messy divorce."
"This is a young officer, and you've got a person making these allegations, and it could end his career," Fletcher said.
Fletcher added he considered the dispute a civil matter but nonetheless referred it to the West Virginia State Police for further review. The child and its mother were both interviewed.
The deputy was kept on active duty while the investigation was pending, he said.

Can you use liquor instead of wine for the mitzvah of Ad Dlo Yoda? Is there any Posek who allows you to be yotzeh specifically with Liquor?

Many, many poskim (Rambam included) say the mitzva is specifically wine. Chayei Adam observes that this is to commemorate the Purim miracle which occurs over a series of scenes, all set at wine-drinking parties.
The Gemara says (Megila 7b) "Hayab Inish LeBisumi Ad Delo Yada...- a man must get drunk until he doesn't know..." However, in that statement it doesn't mention wine. Wine is usually the methodology used but I don't see any Mamashut to it being MeIkar HaDin (i.e. not MeChuyav).
One of my Rabbanim (who I was told is a Posek) says wine is unnecessary and that any alcohol would suffice.
Rav Shmuel Kamentsky holds one can use anything (kovetz Halachos perek 18:11).
He discusses many sources including the Tur, Shulchan Aruch, Chayei Adam, and more poskim. He also cites the Aruch Hashulchan 695:5 with a savorah of one could use יי"ש but shouldn't for other reasons. He also discusses Minchas Elazar 695 בשבילי דוד and the קהילות יעקב.
Rashi, Nemukey Yosef, Riaz, Rokeach, Rambam, and many others all write wine. THis presents mystery; if one or two said it it might be coincidental, but with so many you'd think thered be an explanation. My explanation is that these Rishonim understood that "bsumei" means to get drunk through wine. THere is much support for this assertion: Rashi generaly explains the Gemara and doesnt insert his own halachic opinions; why does he mention wine? THe Nemukey Yosef and Rashi on the Rif writes expicitely "get drunk through wine" as one would expect if they understood that the word connotes wine in particular. The Riaz and the Rokeach both write "peirsuh" that is that the exaplnation of the Gemara is...and then say wine; implying that this is the very explanation of the Gemara. Note also the Rashbam Bava Basra 73b who mentions wine in description of besumei. The clincher is that the Aruch writes explicitly (entry: Basim) that the root basim is the aramaic translation of wine. With this appreciation of these Rishonim we can then ask whether or not the Gemara was specific in using this word which connotes wine or not. Given that many Rishonim e.g. Maharam of Rotenberg (MHK responsa vol. 1 ch. 625) connect the drinking with commemorating the miracle and the drinking was with wine as mentioned throughout the Megillah, it is reasonable that the Gemara was specific when using this word that connotes wine. R. Yosef Ben David Hadayan of Sorgossa the student of the Ran is quite clear about this (cited in Nit'ey Gavriel v. 15 ch. 39) comparing the wine on Purim to matzah on pesach and other substances that commemorate miracles through those substances. Thus we dont just shoot for drunkenees, but wine in particular. Lastly drinking without fulfilling the mitzvah may be improper or even forbidden (see for example Rambam De'os 5:3) thus it makes a tremendous amount of sense from a halachic perspective to use wine and only wine. The contemporary poskim dispute the issue: R. Moshe (heard from a student of his and recorded in shmaatsa d'moshe) held that any alcohol could be used while Mishneh halachos writes that only wine can be used. R. Tzvi Pesach Frank (Moadim Uzmanim) concludes with uncertainty over whether other alcohol can be used. There is always the chance that if R. Moshe saw the above reasoning (based on the Aruch) he would have agreed to use wine.
While there are authorities who hold that the mitzvah is specifically on wine The Shevilei Dovid Orach Chayim 695:3 permits fulfilling the mitzvah using other alcoholic beverages.

text: Some may think that this lesson is a little too risky, but as an artist I know that drawing concepts is not something that is limited. I love drawing anything and everything, and to better my drawing skills I will often do random sketches of bodies in different poses, styles and forms. In order to get better with drawing figures, you have to push yourself to tackle tasks that are out of your comfort zone visually, and skillfully. So here is my take on how to draw a sexy anime body, step by step. One of the reasons why I don't draw anime boys/men is because that challenge is way out of my comfort zone. I will however bring myself to doing rough drafts or sketches on creating drawings on the male body/poses because I know there are many of you out there that would love learning from those types of lessons. Anyways, I do hope you all enjoy this lesson on a beautiful anime figure and her sexy body. Adios folks and have fun.

Neidigh, Swygert, Molly Child and Abby Child Reap NFCA All-Region AccoladesMay 15, 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following one of the most successful seasons in school history, members of the Anderson University softball team continue to collect postseason honors, as Jessica Neidigh, Danielle Swygert, Molly Child and Abby Child were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II All-Southeast Region teams on Thursday.
Nationally, this year's NFCA squads were comprised of 207 players from 102 schools across eight NFCA regions with first and second teams selected for each region.
Ninth-ranked Caldwell led all schools with six total nods, while No. 1 West Texas A&M, No. 8 Alabama-Huntsville, No. 12 California (Pa.), No. 20 LIU Post and Rollins (received votes in last poll) all boasted five total inclusions. The 12th-ranked Vulcans guided the way in first-team selections with five overall. No. 3 Cal State Monterey Bay, No. 7 Angelo State and the 20th-rated Pioneers followed closely behind with four first-team choices each.
Neidigh, a junior, and sophomore Molly Child were named to the first team, while seniors Swygert and Abby Child received second-team nods. The four players helped the Trojans set school-records for wins in a season each of the last three campaigns.
Neidigh, who was a First-Team All-America selection following last season, holds the school record for base hits in a season (90) and has earned postseason accolades in each of her three seasons after being named first-team all-conference in both 2012 and 2013 and SAC Freshman of the Year in 2012. The Trojans' leadoff hitter ranked second in the league with 60 runs scored and paced the SAC with 26 stolen bases. She has been caught stealing just once in her career, as the Lawrenceville, Ga. native is 63-of-64 on the base paths. She ranked fourth in the SAC with 70 hits on the season, with an 11-game, a seven-game and a six-game hitting streak. Neidigh was ninth in batting average (.376) and 12th in on-base percentage (.441) in the league.
Molly Child is a two-time First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference selection, and has started more than 100 consecutive contests for head coach Tommy Hewitt's squad during her career. She was also named First-Team All-Region by Daktronics after being named to the 2014 Food Lion SAC All-Tournament Team. She was 5-for-14 (.357) during the tournament, including a pair of key doubles, and scored four runs while driving in three runs. She led the SAC with 62 runs scored and 130 total bases, while ranking in the top five in six additional offensive categories. The hard-hitting outfielder belted a pair of grand slams during the regular season and posted a team-high 18-game hitting streak.
Swygert, a two-time Daktronics First-Team All-Region selection, ranked third in the conference in doubles (15), fourth in the league in RBI (55), fifth in batting average (.393) and slugging percentage (.681), and sixth in hits (64). Swygert belted five home runs over the final 14 games of the season, while recording a 10-game hitting streak and a seven-game hitting streak during the campaign. The native of Sharpsburg, Ga., earned back-to-back First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference accolades and was named SAC Freshman of the Year following the 2011 campaign.
Abby Child, who earlier was named Second-Team All-Region by Daktronics for the second time in her career, is also a two-time All-South Atlantic Conference honoree. She set a school-record for resilience and endurance by starting 204 consecutive contests at shortstop and tops the AU record books with 47 career home runs, 136 walks and 197 RBI.
Child led the SAC with a career-best 15 home runs this season and also led the league in RBI (62) and slugging percentage (.745), while ranking third in runs scored (55) and sixth in both hits (64) and doubles (14).
NFCA member coaches in the eight regions selected this year's All-Region teams and all honorees now become eligible for selection to one of three NFCA Division II All-American squads to be announced the night of Wed., May 21.

Woodland facing state's leading rusher in 'S' quarters
BEACON FALLS — From the live scouting and game films that Woodland football coach Tim Shea has seen, there is no denying who makes the Morgan football team go.
When you rush for 2,491 yards and 41 touchdowns like Jake Ward has, that sets him apart from most in the state.
Ward rushed for 208 yards on Thanksgiving against Old Saybrook/Westbrook, coming on the heels of a 345-yard performance against Sports Sciences a week before.
The fourth-seeded Hawks (10-2 overall) will hope to contain Ward when they host the fifth-seeded Huskies (10-1) tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Beacon Halls.
"Ward runs hard and makes just one cut and he is downhill real quick," said Shea. "The offense clearly goes through him. He is quite a player.
"I have preached to the kids the same thing the past few days and that is that we have to stop No. 5," added Shea. "You don't rush for nearly 2,500 yards for nothing. It's 11 hats to the ball. We have to make big tackles and can't just stick an arm up and hope he will fall down."
Morgan senior quarterback Alex Lipka has been a big part of the Huskies' offense, too. Operating out of the spread, Lipka has passed for 996 yards and eight touchdowns.
Lipka (No. 3) provides poise and playmaking abilities behind a very big offensive line.
"Their quarterback does a good job of managing the game and knowing when to hand off and pull it back to keep you honest," said Shea. "They run a lot of zone traps and counters."
Helping the Huskies and Ward tremendously is that big line, something that Shea noticed immediately when scouting Morgan on Thanksgiving Day.
"We (the coaching staff) walked by them and there is not an exaggeration," said Shea. "The line is big and physical like Naugatuck and we are going to have to be equally as physical."
Morgan has won five in a row since a 51-6 loss to Class M top seed Valley Regional/Old Lyme (11-0) on Oct. 25.
After losing the Naugatuck Valley League championship game, Woodland needed to rally in the second half and ultimately hold off a comeback bid by Seymour, 22-19, on Friday.
"What we learned from the Seymour game is that we must play 48 minutes and that the game is not won in one or two minutes or 20-minute stretches," said Shea.
With Ward figuring in on the majority of the Huskies' good fortunes, a lot will depend on the Hawks' defensive front and linebackers.
The Hawks' defensive front consists of nose guard Alex Varhol, tackles Will Flormann and Max McSperrin with Jake Laliberte rotating in. The linebackers are Chris Slavin and Chris McDonald with middle linebacker Levi Fancher, the heart and soul of the defense.

To the editor:
Most folks living in the Ohio Valley have noticed signs stating, "Stop the War on Coal: Fire Obama." Forgive my sarcasm, but President Barack Obama has not ordered Seal Team Six into coal mines throughout our nation to take out the coal like they took out Osama bin Laden. Obama has not ordered a naval blockade on the Ohio River preventing coal barges from passing through. Moreover, if Obama is waging a war on coal, he must be doing a lousy job, because there are more coal miners working today than at any point during the Bush administration.
In reality, there is little correlation between the coal-fired plants shutting down with Obama's environmental policies. The actual causation is due to the price of natural gas drastically decreasing. An interesting statistic; electricity from coal-powered plants costs double the amount than what it costs a gas-fired plant. This statistic came from The Wall Street Journal's article, "Coal-Fired Plants Mothballed by Gas-Glut."
Do the Romney supporters perpetuating this war on coal myth know his history as governor of Massachusetts? In 2003, Romney stood outside a coal-fired plant in Salem, Mass., pointed at the plant, and said, "I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people. And that plant, that plant kills people."
While governor, Romney was a passionate environmentalist, who wanted dirty coal-fired plants in his state to clean up their plants or he would shut them down. The folks supporting Romney on this issue are blindly overlooking his past. He flip-flopped on coal, in addition to a laundry-list of other issues.
With coal becoming less competitive as a power source, due to the markets being inundated with cheap natural gas, what do these "war on coal" Romney supporters think will happen to their industry when Romney opens up our national parks for more hydraulic fracturing? During the presidential debate, Romney advocated for more drilling on government-owned lands. Basic economics tells us that by increasing the supply of natural gas on the markets, the cost of gas would be reduced even further, thus making coal even less feasible as a source of power, jeopardizing even more coal-fired plant jobs.
If Romney and his supporters want to use this hyperbolic "war on coal" rhetoric, Obama's campaign could do likewise. Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Act created millions of jobs, which included the jobs of teachers, cops and firefighters all across our nation. Romney opposed this. Furthermore, Romney is against Obama's recent proposal to allocate $35 billion to states and local governments for the hiring of more teachers, cops and firefighters. Excuse my hyperbolizing, but it sure sounds like Romney is waging a war on our teachers, cops and firefighters. Perhaps the Obama campaign should start planting signs that say, "Stop the War on Teachers, Cops, and Firefighters: Rehire Obama."
