♪ Rules ♪
We expect you will abide by these following rules if you decide to enter a hand-drawn contest. Failure to do so may result in an automatic disqualification and the entry[s] found violating along with any others you have entered will not be eligible for voting and you will not have any chance to place until the next contest.
1: No frankendolling! That means taking part[s] of a doll or more, and putting them on your own "doll", much like the movie and book Frankenstein. Please don't do this even with your own work.
2: No recoloring anything that was not made by you and entering it. This basically categorizes as "theft art." even if you have the original creator's okay, just don't do it.
3: No doll-makers are allowed to be used in your entry. Not in part or whole, this means you cannot "make" a doll in a doll-maker and place it up here for voting. It is not considered a "hand-drawn" by you and should not be found anywhere in the "Hand-drawn Dolls" area, much less this contest thread.
4: Unless you get an okay by a current contest running, we ask you make a new doll for each theme. Contests are to give ideas to dollers and allow them to compete with others to see who's idea was stronger and who brought it across in the best way. So please don't use old dolls, even if they have a similar theme used as the one currently running in the contest.
5: Please do NOT steal any bit of work, whether from a doll here or somewhere else. This goes along with no frankendolling. That means, if a contest holds a certain theme and you see a doll somewhere else that looks similar to what you would expect from the theme, please don't take that idea even if you tweak it a little. If you are inspired by it, that's agreeable. But please note that you were and don't base your entry heavily off of it. Remember, we want to be original.
6: Please include base credit and any other credit necessary for each entry.
7: You are allowed to enter a maximum of two dolls per contest, unless otherwise stated by the current contest holder.
8: Please make sure your entry has the current theme! If the theme is based off of flowers, please do not submit an underwater entry!
9: Please follow other rules the current contest holder may provide.
10: Be original and have fun!
11: If you host a contest and someone wins it, you can enter their contest although you may not place first in it.
12: No animation is allowed in the contsts, unless the contest is specifically entitled "Animated Dolls" or the contest host requests it. Any Any animated entries will be automatically disqualified.
We expect you to abide by these rules. If you cannot do so, please don't enter in the first place. We want this to be a fun thing and don't need any contestants to disobey the rules. It matters not who you are, whether you are the friend or sibling of an important person around here, we all have to follow these simple rules.
In the contests, the contest holder will set the theme and deadline. Those who wish to enter must create a "doll" with such theme before the deadline and post it in this thread. The contest holder will make awards and judge each doll based on effort, how well it portrays the theme, and quality. This means no judge will choose place just because it is their friend. They must decide these with each entry. If it looks sloppy and rushed compared to another entry, then it may loose points. Although, that sloppy entry may show what the contest holder had in mind for the contest better than the others. And the one with the most effort may not always have the best quality. Keeping these in mind, the judge must place what he or she thinks deserves. It has nothing to do with relations, and you cannot ask where to be placed or suggest. That decision is entirely up to the contest judge. Whoever places first gets to run the next contest, and the others get an award with their name and place on it.
Awards we recommend:
Closest to Theme
Best [hair, shading, etc...]
Most original
Thanks for entering!
You must use first and second, and most likely third. You can pick and choose which other places you want, or not use any of them. But it is an extremely good idea to have a thanks for entering award. Please remember that a user can earn more than one award, although cannot double in the mains. For example, Jane Doe cannot place first and second or first and third. As John Doe cannot place second and third, and so on.
♪ We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with! ♪
Since the last contest pretty much fizzled out, I'm going to make a last ditch attempt to revitalise the Handdrawn Contest. I think the main problem is that people who win are trying to see who can post the most complex theme ever; in my experience, people tend to doll better on more simple themes. So this is what I'm going to do with this contest; I hope everyone, from the most experienced to the newest dollers, will enter.
The theme is... Best doll on a set base!
All entrants have to do is make a doll from this base here: blood-cocoa's Gallery It can be any of the forward facing poses, and any of the faces; just remember, the doll MUST be made on the base.
You can also let your imagination run wild; any theme is allowed, however, your doll must have at least three of the following:
1. Stripy long socks
2. Unusually coloured hair (ie, a colour not found in nature)
3. Scarf
4. Pet
5. Off the shoulder or strapless top
6. Arm warmers (if you don't know what they are, click here
7. Hair in bunches or plaits
8. High heels
9. Patterns
10. Gloves
You can choose more than three if you like; dolls will be judged on how well you've made use of the base. ^^ No animation or glitter, please; any animated or glittered entries will be disqualified. Please crop and transparentise all entries; if you are unsure about how to do this, PM me.
End date is 3rd July; extensions are possible, if there's a good reason like being on holiday for example.
That new base looks nice! Expect me to enter, I would love to doll my Dollsters character and can fit her into the criteria.
Av & Sig Credit: Me
Ooh, the Cora base sure brings back memories... I used it a lot around 2005 or so. Though the new version is definitely an improvement . I'll see if I can come up with something.
I'll just give this to you now, because God knows I'm sick of looking at it. Second doll after [three weeks short of] a year of not dolling or pixeling. Honestly, I'm far from proud of it. I think I like the scarf, and maybe the shorts, but that's about it.
I forgot the goggles. But who cares? :P
I used everything on the list. Yay me!
EDIT: Shoot, I forgot the gloves. -.-
Gaahh, Mina, it's so pretty. D= *jealous*
Miranda, am I able to use just one armwarmer in my doll? I can't seem to finagle it quite right on one arm; I was going to use an armwarmer on the one arm that it's working on and putting a glove on the other. Does that work okay?
I stare at the girl in the mirror: T-shirt, torn up jeans, no beauty queen.
But the way that you see me, you get underneath me, and all my defenses just fall away, fall away.
I am beautiful with you, even in the darkest part of me. I am beautiful with you;
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be!
Done! She's a Persian Djinn. (used: strapless top; plaits; unnnatural hair)
Base: blood cocoa
Uhh. Okay.
I was thinking of entering this contest.
This'd be perfect if Hamstertail pitched in. Jaykay,jaykay,everyone. Lawllawllawllawl. ;______;
B'cuz my G-loli can't beat teh pwnage of you two. Which are like, perfect.
I guess that after I run away from dolling for two years it's just too ltae to come back. XD;;
/sticks with fail
It is done! Behold my beast, MUWAHAHAHAHA!
Ahem. I do believe Aaron has rubbed off on me to some degree.
(And in case Photobucket mutilated her, here's the dA page for it: Clicky, the image you want to see is the one on the right as that is the official entry. The other is just the doll without the polka dots.)
I used:
2. Unusually coloured hair (ie, a colour not found in nature)
5. Off the shoulder
6. Arm warmers (one, actually)
7. Hair in bunches
9. Patterns
10. Gloves (one glove, >__>)
This is Carin during one of her rehearsals. She's dyed her hair entirely pink for this, as her natural color is platinum blond. XD
Base by Blood Cocoa.

Here's a link to my second panorama which I have done.
I'm not really happy about pano loading time and "jugged" movement of it ... I saw many great quality panos which works much nicer.
My file is in sRGB work space, 72 ppi, 8bit, Size 15004x7502px. It's compressed in fireworks which as far I'm concern has the best image compression algorithm. It's size is 9,09 MB.
Could any more advanced users tel me what I'm doing something wrong, any thoughts about it?
Thnx in advance.

I have this ugly proof that some sequence converges to something and I really don't like it because it seems too hard for no reason... can anyone help me make this more simple?
Here it is : We are given a sequence $p_n$ with $n p_n \to \lambda > 0$. We show that $$ \left( 1 - p_n \right)^n \to e^{-\lambda}. $$ So my proof begins by noticing that $$ (1-p_n)^n = \left( 1 + \frac{-np_n}n \right)^n $$ and that the family of functions $s_n(x) = \left(1+\frac xn \right)^n$ is equicontinuous at $x$ (I think I can pull some argument stating that the derivative of $s_n(x)$ is always bounded (because it also converges to $e^x$) when considering an interval of arbitrary but fixed length centered at $x$, so that in this interval, all functions $s_n$ can have the same Lipschitz constant, therefore giving equicontinuity, correct me if I'm wrong) so that if I note by $x_n$ the sequence $-n p_n$, $x = -\lambda$ and $s(x) = e^x$, I wish to show that $$ \forall \varepsilon > 0, \quad \exists N \quad s.t. \quad \forall n > N, \quad |s_n(x_n) - s(x)| < \varepsilon. $$ so now, $$ |s_n(x_n) - s(x)| \le |s_n(x_n) - s_n(x_m)| + |s_n(x_m) - s_n(x)| + |s_n(x) - s(x)|. $$ Since $x_n$ is convergent, it is also Cauchy, so that for all $\delta > 0$, there exists an $N_1$ such that for all $n,m > N_1$, $|x_m - x_n| < \delta$ and $|x_m - x| < \delta$. Since the family $\{s_n\}$ is equicontinuous, for all $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a $\delta > 0$ such that $|x - y| < \delta \Rightarrow |s_n(x) - s_n(y)| < \frac{\varepsilon}3$, so that the first two terms are taken care of by $N_1$ by taking $(x,y) = (x_n, x_m)$ and $(x,y) = (x_m, x)$ respectively. The last term is also bounded by $\varepsilon/3$ when $n > N_2$ because $s_n \to s$ pointwisely. Taking $N = \max \{ N_1, N_2 \}$ we're done.
I feel like my proof is a little too harsh on this easy-looking problem... anyone has a better proof? What I mean by "better" is using less powerful or advanced tools, something simple. I can't seem to find anything better right now.

Besides woot, Chain Love, Bonk Town, anything for photo?
closed as off topic by rfusca, PearsonArtPhoto, chills42 Feb 18 '11 at 12:31
Questions on Photography Stack Exchange are expected to relate to photography within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
So, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no, there isn't".
LensRentals.com occasionally sells their old equipment for less than new prices. This is not at all the same as Woot or, ... wow, any of those other sites that I haven't heard of. But it does mean you can get deals on used lenses or equipment in good condition.

We measure the wrong things when it comes to women in the military -- and it may only get worse as combat roles are opened to women.
This week in the Wall Street Journal, Bill Gates made a case for how measuring the right things can fuel change on a global scale. He states: "You can achieve incredible progress if you set a clear goal and find a measure that will drive progress toward that goal."
That is not what we are doing when it comes to opening combat to women. I am all for women in combat roles.
Yet right now the measure we watch most carefully is the number of women the military: Fifteen percent of the military is female. Over 280,000 women served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of the fallen, 130 have been women.
Remember what Gates said -- the measure is supposed to drive progress toward the goal.
So, remind me: What is the goal for women in combat? Is it to have an equal number of female warriors who perform exactly as men perform? Is it to have enough women progressing through the ranks fast enough that the media stays off the military's back? Is it to be able to conduct modern warfare at peak efficiency?
Army Gen. Robert Cone, commanding general of Training and Doctrine Command, seems to think the goal is to create warfighters. Immediately following the announcement that combat roles would be open to women, Cone said combat jobs will be all about physical standards. "Standards that mean something," he emphasized.
I want to believe that. I want to believe that we have progressed past the kind of standards that claim that women are unfit for any combat job because they might have PMS.
Instead, we need meaninful standards. If the job actually requires you to carry and live out of your ruck for 75 days at a time, then the standard would be to lift and carry and live out of a ruck for 75 days.
If the job requires you to throw a 150-pound person over your shoulder and lift your weapon 40 times a day, then you throw a 150-pound person over your shoulder and lift your weapon 40 times a day.
If the job requires that you to swim 500 yards in 8 minutes or run 1.5 miles in nine minutes, then that is what you do -- regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, education, or socioeconomic background.
After a decade of war, we must know now that combat jobs are physical jobs with physical measures. Those measures must drive us toward the goal of deploying a powerful force capable of meeting any opponent.
So I want to believe that we Americans will demand the establishment of these measures and insist that they be enforced at every level. I want to believe each member of our military will be measured by the sum of their abilities and actions and strengths. I want to believe that we will be willing to look beyond the blunt measure of how many women can achieve these meaningful physical standards and instead measure our progress toward the goal.
That's what I want to believe. Instead, I see a time where we proudly state that X number of women serve in combat roles. And I know that will not be progress.

How do Mexicans refer to the wedding ceremony and the celebration following the wedding? I am attending a Mexican wedding and would like to refer to these events properly.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You can safely refer to those as "Recepción" or "Banquete" for "Wedding Reception" and "Ceremonia" for "Wedding Ceremony".
Personally, for the first part I'd use "Recepción", it's more adequate in all cases, because the word "Banquete" can be awkward if the mentioned event is actually a small and humble one.
If they are Mexicans is probably that the mass will be in a catholic church, that's a "misa" [mass], and then the party will be just the party because "boda"[the wedding] envolves both mass and party but it's normal to call it "la boda" since a lot of people just go to the party "la boda" is accurate for the party, if the day after they make another party in the morning will be "lavado de olla" [Whashing pot] or "recalentado" [reheaded] depending on what part of Mexico they are. "Recepción" and "Banquete" are American concepts but since they live in the US I assume that it will be understood.

Have you tried the book The Art of Unit Testing ? http://www.manning.com/osherove/
I highly recommend the book "Pragmatic Unit Testing in C# with NUnit" by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.
If you are using Visual Studio as your IDE you might also want to check out MSDN (e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182532.aspx)
General Rules:
Arrange, Act, Assert:
Follow the "3-As" pattern for test methods: (Arrange, Act, Assert). Specifically, use separate code paragraphs (groups of lines of code separated by a blank line) for each of the As.
This makes it much easier to see:
See the following post for more details http://tekprolixity.blogspot.com/2012/04/unit-testing-guidelines.html
I would suggest look into this MSDN link. But you can bing "unit test using VSTS" and you will get tons of help.

Respawn's Titanfall Taiwanese launch event featured a titan wallWritten by: / / No Comments
With the launch of Titanfall on Xbox 360 around the world this week (well, in most parts of the world…) there were a number of release parties to introduce Respawn Entertainment's debut shooter into the world on Microsoft's older console, but whether or not any other celebrations of the game's release included a giant climbing wall is unknown…
… surely someone knows, but it's such a crazy and cool idea that plays into the concept of the Pilot's wall-running ability so perfectly that the Titanfall Taiwanese launch event just had to include it.
Flick through the photos from the Titanfall Taiwanese launch event below to see what attendees got up to this week to mark the release of this latest version of the game, as Respawn's community manager Abbie Heppe herself took to the wall to show how it's done:

The IsSearchProviderInstalled API is rendered mostly useless by the following condition: "Sites are only allowed to search for providers on the same domain." This eliminates the ability for, say, microsoft.com or msdn.com sites to determine if an Internet Explorer user has added a Live Search search provider (live.com).
The AddSearchProvider API does not provide a way to indicate if a user has opted out of adding a search provider by clicking Cancel. Additionally, because of the limitation above, there is also no way to determine if a user successfully added a search provider for a differently domained search provider.
This is tangential to this video, but the Live Search autocomplete suggestion Web service does not provide a way to scope suggestion results to a particular domain.
You can only have one default search provider but you can install as many secondary search providers as you like.
The IE8 QuickPick menu makes it very easy to switch to any secondary provider.
We don't support aggregation of search results right now but thanks for the suggestion.

Are all pork in supermarket previously frozen? Where can I get fresh ones? Is there a way to easily tell visually if a meat has been previously frozen?
closed as not a real question by SAJ14SAJ, Mien, derobert, mfg, KatieK Feb 20 '13 at 17:17
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Try to find a local butcher. They can sell you never-frozen meat, and may carry different breeds of pig than your supermarket does. (Comparing pork from a butcher and pork from a supermarket is more practical than discussing hypothetical pork anyway.) I find the difference (and the value of my butcher) higher for pork than any other meat the supermarket carries. (The butcher also sells goat, duck, and other things I can't get at the supermarket.) Of course, depending on where you live you may not be able to find a butcher, or the difference from the supermarket may be stronger or weaker than it is where I live.
A tip: the cool trendy new butchers are on the Internet. I follow mine on Twitter to be the first to know when specific products are available. A good butcher drowns you in information about the product: not just whether it was frozen, but the breed, what it ate, exactly where the farm is, the farmer's children's names - they want to tell you all this if you want to know it. Mine gives me brochures from the farm with pictures of the fields and buildings and people.
Tip 2: my butcher's prices are roughly double the supermarket's. I just buy half as much: we 're happier eating half a delicious steak or chop than a whole boring one. We were probably eating overly large portions before anyway.
There are fresh ones if that supermarket has a butcher to "butch" the pig because the meat is normally good for only that day, or else the pork are either frozen or previously frozen. Normally one the package it would be labeled as "frozen" instead of fresh, but I would normally judge by the bloody liquid coming out from the meat since fresh meat usually hold the liquid much better.

Not actually that hightech a hack, but the simple things usually work best.
PS-not all people will have an answer to their secret question, and if they do it might not be the one that they tell you

Rules of Dating: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING. - 05-19-2007, 01:32 PM
As well as these rules, please try and abide by the forum posting guide that can be found here: Spam, Netiquette And Basic Forum Information
1. There is to be no posting of sexually explicit material here. Please remember that we have members as young as 8 years old viewing these boards, so do NOT post anything that fits that description. All threads and posts found breaking this rule WILL BE DELETED. The Doll Palace Terms Of Service clearly state that posting material of this kind is strictly forbidden:
TDP does not allow Postings which contain: private or personal information which might identify a user, profanity or obscenities personal attacks on other individuals slanderous, defamatory, obscene, p*rnographic, threatening and harassing comments; and/or other information that TDP deems in its sole discretion to be inappropriate for this Site.
2. The Doll Palace is NOT a dating site. Neither are its forums. Any threads or posts that break this rule by trolling for dates WILL BE DELETED. Anyone who has a sig that does likewise will first be sent a PM asking them to remove it; if they don't comply, their sig will be removed by me.
3. Please don't attack members who offer advice. If you put up a topic asking for advice, you might get a few replies that you disagree with. That's fine; however, flaming the authors of said replies is not. Bottom line is, if you make a topic asking for help when all you want is for ppl to agree with you, there's no point in it whatsoever and it will be locked. Disagree with the opinion, not the person; any such attacks will be deleted and the guilty parties warned to their future conduct.
4. Please don't make specific threads offering advice. I have observed in the past that when ppl did this before, 2 things happened; either the thread degenerated into a flame war, or the original poster was a one off who never came back afterwards. This meant the forum was filled with clutter, and ppl kept bringing up the old threads, when the poster was long gone. So if you want to give advice to members, please post on their threads.
5. Hate posts/threads WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. That means any messages that are racist, homophobic or specifically targeting any person on here or group of ppl. These messages will be deleted straight away and the author will receive a warning, maybe even an infraction. Please think about what you're posting; it might only be words to you, but words can hurt and upset other ppl.

Teen Health
Can Too Much Texting Make Teens Shallow?
Feb. 3, 2012 -- Teens and young adults who text frequently -- such as more than 300 text messages a day -- may be risking more than sore thumbs, according to a new study.
"Heavy texters do seem to be a little more materialistic and less concerned about inward growth," says Paul Trapnell, PhD, associate professor of psychology at the University of Winnipeg in Canada.
The frequent texting, he says, is ''weakly correlated with traits, goals, and attitudes that indicate low interest and engagement in reflective thought." Those who texted very frequently were also more concerned about wealth and image than those who did not text as often.
He conducted the study with Lisa Sinclair, PhD, associate professor of psychology at the University of Winnipeg. She presented the findings in San Diego at the 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
"One can't say it's cause and effect," Trapnell tells WebMD. "There could be a hundred different reasons why these associations exist."
"Although the overall size of the finding is small in absolute terms, the finding was very reliable across several years," he tells WebMD. So far, they have looked at five years of data.
Too Much Texting: Study Details
The researchers surveyed more than 2,200 college psychology class students about their texting frequency. They were ages 18 to 22. Data were collected from 2007 through 2011.
Cell phone texting has become the preferred communication method between teens and friends, according to a 2010 report by the Pew Research Center. It found that 72% of all teens surveyed use text messaging. That's up from 51% in 2006.
For the Canadian study, the students noted how many text messages they sent or received (whichever number was higher) on their highest-use day of the month. They reported only non-work-related texts.
About 30% of the students had a peak rate of more than 200 texts a day. Twelve percent had a peak rate of more than 300 a day.
The researchers then gave them a battery of tests. These included:
- A standard personality test to measure such traits as extroversion and openness to experiences.
- A questionnaire that measures tendencies to engage in reflection and self-reflection: The students agreed or disagreed with such statements as, "I often love to look at my life in philosophical ways."
- A survey that asked students to rate the importance of numerous life goals: Goals included wealth, fame, image, power, achievement, morality, community, family, health, spirituality, and others.
The researchers looked to see if texting frequency had an effect on the test results.
They wanted to test the so-called ''shallowing hypothesis," as described in the Nicholas Carr best seller, The Shallows, and by scientists. It suggests that very brief media social interaction such as texting encourages rapid, relatively shallow thought.

Do all Christian views need to have a Biblical basis? Stated another way: Is there room for understanding God and/or His will that does not come from the Bible? Perhaps through revelations from God Himself, or secondary sources (Angels, Saints, etc). I would wager the answer to this question depends on the denomination being discussed. But, for example, do the words of the Pope always hold true in Catholicism even if there is no strict biblical basis for them?

closed as off-topic by Mr. Bultitude, fredsbend, curiousdannii, Mawia, bruised reed Mar 16 '15 at 5:41
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
A good reference on the reformed, evangelical position on this is from chapter 1 of the Westminster Confession
We speak of the Bible as God's Word because in it he speaks to us (2 Tim 3:16). He speaks to us personally in the Bible through the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 2:12). Because the Bible is considered as God's Word it is his definitive words to us, the only infallible source of knowing him. It is also sufficient for everything we need to know about him. This means that in theory we don't need to look anywhere else to know God's will.
Some points to note:
It's commonly recognised that there are at least 3 other sources: reason, tradition, experience. These are part of God's common grace to everyone. They can be helpful, but these should only be considered as secondary sources. They are ultimately flawed because people are flawed.
So we can have secondary sources to help us know God, but the ultimate authority is the Bible because of the special authority that the Bible carries as the Word of God. The implication is that everything else is either wrong or inadequate, which means that we do need to come back to the Bible in the end. And because of the difficulty of understanding the Bible sometimes, we need to continually be going back to Scripture. You may even be surprised by what you find.
Clearly not all Christian views need to have a Biblical basis. I'm a Christian, and I have the view that the square of 2 is 4, and that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, however these view are not explained in the Bible.
I think the closest Christians have to a principle similar to that about which you're asking, is the concept that all Christian views must be consistent with the Bible. And I believe that all Christian traditions can agree with this--to the extent that they believe the Bible can be accurately interpreted.
Catholics hold Tradition in high esteem, but (to my understanding), they believe that Tradition never conflicts with the Bible.
The LDS church has other scriptures they use, but again, these, at least in their view, never conflict with the Bible.
And in my examples, the Bible doesn't say anything about the square of 2 not being 4, nor that Neil Armstrong did not walk on the moon.
I was going to write a nuanced answer, but upon reflection, I think I'll come down firmly on the side of: No.
I realize many will disagree, but I'd like to offer several reasons for my view, as food for thought.
Short answer: YES! Why? It's my biblical basis:
The bible is like a programming language that can compile itself! :)

(Grant Halverson/Getty Images)Take away the three overtime games during Sunday's early NFL timeslot, and you still would have had enough entertainment to keep you busy.The 8-1 Falcons spotted the reeling Cardinals a 13-0 lead before rallying, despite five (five!) Matt Ryan interceptions to claim a late victory. Green Bay struggled to find its offense all day -- until, trailing by six in the final minutes, Aaron Rodgers led a TD drive to beat Detroit.Meanwhile, the Jets came out of nowhere to dominate in St. Louis, the Bengals stayed in the playoff picture and Washington manhandled Philadelphia.In case none of that was enough, let's take a look back at the OT drama that Week 11 provided ...Tampa Bay caps off an incredible comebackWhen Doug Martin [si_launchNFLPopup video='34a9d36a31734492a2e5f599079ec8da']fumbled at the goal line[/si_launchNFLPopup] early in the fourth quarter -- killing a terrific Tampa Bay drive -- and Carolina then marched for a touchdown, the Buccaneers appeared headed toward a damaging loss in Carolina. But the suddenly red-hot Bucs had other ideas.Connor Barth's field goal with 4:03 left made it 21-13, and a defensive stop set the stage for Josh Freeman and Vincent Jackson to steal the show. With just 12 seconds left on the clock, Freeman found Jackson for a sensational 24-yard touchdown; the two then hooked up again for a two-point conversion, sending the game to overtime.And in OT, the Buccaneers won the toss and put the game away. Tampa Bay never let Carolina see the football, marching 80 yards in eight plays, with Freeman finding Dallas Clark for a 15-yard game-winner.The come-from-behind effort was the Buccaneers' fourth consecutive victory and moved them to 6-4 on the season, right in the thick of the playoff race.Brandon Weeden, Browns let one slip away in DallasThe Cowboys tried their darndest to cough away their game against Cleveland on Sunday. Despite a hard-fought performance, however, the Browns could not capitalize.Dallas trailed 13-0 at halftime and still faced a 13-3 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, before a Felix Jones TD run and Tony Romo-to-Dez Bryant touchdown pass flipped the scoreboard in the Cowboys' favor, 17-13. There remained plenty of work to be done after that.Brandon Weeden and Romo traded fumbles, before the Cowboys turned in a goal-line stand, stopping two Cleveland plays from the 1-yard-line. The Browns still retook the lead anyway, thanks to a Benjamin Watson TD grab, set up by a 21-yard Josh Cribbs punt return aided by a 15-yard Cowboys penalty. Dallas answered with a field goal to force overtime, where Dan Bailey won it for the home team on the extra period's third possession.Andre Johnson, Justin Blackmon go toe-to-toe in Texans' OT winAnyone have the Jaguars scoring 37 points in Houston ... with their backup quarterback in the game ... and losing?With Blaine Gabbert sidelined early by an elbow injury, Chad Henne stepped in for Jacksonville. All Henne did from then on was throw for 354 yards and four touchdowns, while also sparking Justin Blackmon's long-awaited breakout performance (seven catches, 236 yards, one touchdown).That performance was enough to get the Jaguars a 37-23 fourth-quarter lead on the road, but Houston managed to claw back into it. Matt Schaub twice found Garrett Graham for touchdowns in the final 5:39, and the Texans even had a shot to win in regulation until Shayne Graham's field goal slid wide.Graham's redeemed himself in overtime with a 25-yard make. But under the new NFL OT rules, the two teams played on, with Jacksonville getting a shot to tie or win. The Jaguars drove deep into Houston territory, too, then settled for a field goal of their own, continuing the proceedings. After picking off a Schaub pass near midfield, the Jaguars had a second chance to win it. They failed to move at all, though -- then tried to go for it on 4th-and-10 at the Houston 47. The Texans came up with a stop, Schaub found Andre Johnson for a 48-yard TD and another upset shot came up shy. More Audibles

DLM Body Panel Install - DIY Dirt Late ModelWritten by on July 1, 2011 Last month we showed you how to hang your own MD3 nose on your Dirt Late Model, this month Circle Track follows up with tips for installing a lightweight hood and roof
We've seen it time and again in racing: The racer or race team that is capable of doing more things in-house always has the advantage on the competition. And the reason for that is simple, by having the option of doing more tasks yourself instead of hiring them out, you save money that can be spent in other, more vital areas.
One area of the racing operation that many teams hire out is body hanging. There's nothing wrong with this, but for much of it this really isn't necessary. Hanging a body isn't rocket science; it just requires patience, a steady hand, and a few tools. Detailing how to fabricate and hang a Dirt Late Model body from bumper to bumper would require more pages than we print in a single month, so we're taking it a bit at a time. Last month we followed along as racer Matt Long and his crew chief, Jim Cook, hung a new MD3 nose from Five Star Bodies. As part of their package, they also ordered Five Star's ultra lightweight hood and roof for modern Dirt Late Model bodies. So follow along as we tackle our next project on this Crate Late Model.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Before beginning on the hood, make sure all the deck panels are in place—it just makes life easier. This is a Rocket chassis, but almost every chassis builder provisions their cars for body hanging the same way. Notice how the rollcage includes tabs for bolting up the roof.Five Star's MD3 roof is a molded composite piece that's surprisingly light. Here, crew chief Jim Cook begins by placing the roof on the car and finding the best side-to-side placement. Once he has it where he wants it, a few vise clamps hold it in position.Once the roof is properly positioned, Cook drills holes in the roof from underneath so that he can use the tabs for alignment.Driver Matt Long is a tall guy so Cook creates a little headroom by using longer bolts and a stack of washers. The roof isn't a structural element on the car, so this isn't a big deal.Once the roof is attached, it's time to fabricate and mount the sail panels. These are fabricated from flat sheets of aluminum that are bent to shape. If you're purchasing a used car, use the old panels for templates to save yourself some time and effort.Cleco fasteners are a great investment if you're going to be hanging your own bodies. They install and remove easily so that you can test fit and move things around if necessary without having to drill out pop rivets.Cook uses a strip of aluminum that has been doubled over and then bent into a 90-degree angle to provide a little extra rigidity at the rear of the panel. A few pinches with a shrinker tool provide the curve you see here.On the left side of the car, the bottom of the panel is mounted flush with the edge of the car so that when the car is in yaw through the turns it catches as much air as possible and directs it toward the rear spoiler. A piece of aluminum angle is mounted to the deck to provide a vertical surface to attach the bottom of the panel.
On the right side, the bottom of the panel is moved in an inch because it's the outside of this panel that's the leading edge as the car yaws through the turns. Pulling it in a bit allows a tiny bit more air to hit the spoiler.Mounting is the same as the left side except instead of the heavier piece of aluminum angle, the recessed lower edge allows a strip of aluminum sheet to be slid underneath the break for the rear quarter-panel and pop riveted into place.The roof also comes with this piece of molded plastic called the "roof cap." As you can see here, it's straight while the leading edge of the roof is curved. The roof cap will bend to fit; simply start at one end and carefully work your way across, pulling the cap to the roof as you go.Long uses Cleco fasteners to test fit the cap and then rivets it down once he gets it where it belongs.The A-pillars come next. Like the sail panels, they are cut from simple aluminum sheet with a small break to add stiffness. Simple and cheap.Cook intentionally cut the A-pillar long. Once he finds where it will mount to the deck of the car, he can come back and trim it to fit the roof perfectly.The hood is a simple composite sheet. Many racers fabricate their hoods from aluminum, but this material is even lighter.
The first inch of the hood slides underneath the nose so that it won't fly up when the car is at speed. Notches have to be cut on either side for clearance with the fenders.The hood has a backing panel glued in place to protect it from heat and add a little stiffness. Scoring it with a razor blade a few times will help it bend where necessary.You will have the hood on and off several times while trying to get everything to fit up correctly. Once you have the positioning nailed down, use a Sharpie to mark the hood and fenders to make it easier to keep everything lined up. If you still have the protective plastic coating in place, the marks will come off later when you peel off the plastic.Cutting the composite material is easy with a pair of tin snips. You can always cut more, but you can't put material back, so Cook kept enlarging the hole for the air cleaner a bit at a time until he had exactly what he wanted.Cook fabricates braces, to help the hood hold its shape, out of pieces of aluminum. A hand shrinker is used to give the braces a gentle curve.The braces are riveted to the hood to give it strength and a curve that helps it match the slope of the car.Don't forget to install the lower half of the airbox because it will probably require trimming to fit underneath the hood.


text: I'm going to make this tutorial how it is because I've had frequent people ask me to make this into a tut (during the livestream process and artwork posting). I wanted to expand my skills and strive for a more detailed and painted artwork like that of professional painters in the art industry today. I'm not sure if I want to progress into painting a dragon next in the same style or a fantasy character geared with intensely detailed armor. Anyways, this horse took me a duration of three days to get where it is. Lots of hours were spent and it is still yet to be finished. I will update this tutorial with the finished version and see if it makes a more stable impact. Well, It's time for me to get to work on my next tutorials. Have fun drawing a black horse, and I hope you guys will enjoy and stay tuned for more lessons!

Paul Hughes
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 12:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 12:55 a.m.
Too numerous to include in a Ledger article, but very much a part of the tapestry that is Paul Hughes, are the individual stories about the young people's lives he has enriched. I'm sure the other award winners and candidates have similar stories, but I'm moved to write about my personal knowledge of what Hughes has done, over and above the obvious and many accomplishments of his professional life.
Paul has literally saved young people by sharing his compass and leading them in a positive direction. These are kids who either had a less-than-perfect home life, who were lost academically or who were different and potential targets of bullying and ridicule. Sharing his passion for the arts and his love of theater, he took many youngsters from a dismal future to an existence of hope and accomplishment.
Through involvement in the theater, he instilled discipline, commitment, teamwork and pride in young people who weren't finding those things anywhere else. He has the ability to see potential in everyone and he has used that ability to turn lives around.
Those of us who have had the privilege to know him and call him friend have witnessed the care and compassion he has shown for many young people who may have otherwise been left behind.
The Ledger and its co-sponsor Magnify Credit Union couldn't have chosen a better recipient for its first Golden Garland in the category of Arts.
Thank you for honoring him, the other recipients, honorable mentions and candidates in this way. Well deserved, Paul.

I've been playing Deathsmiles for some time now, and I still can't seem to figure out the usefulness of the lock-on shot. I find it slow and difficult to use effectively and never use it, yet I see pro replays using it all the time.
When is it best to use the lock-on shot? Are any bosses more susceptible to it than others? Do any enemies drop more items as a result of being killed by it?
Basically, why should I ever use the lock-on shot?

I have an GeoServer running that uses GeoWebCache. As a data source I use a 1.5 GB big map for a layer. The outcome of the tiling and scaling are very rough looking tiles.
Is there a way to antialiase the tiles, that they are more pleasant to look at?

Car enthusiasts with an eye for luxury gathered at Bentley Newport Beach for an exclusive viewing of the brand's Continental GT V8, an elegant vehicle they couldn't help but lust over. When they weren't ogling the sleek wheels, guests—among them Michelle and Glenn Verdult, David Geske and Allyson Ayers—talked all things automotive, delighted in cocktails and wine, and nibbled on plenty of hors d'oeuvres. They couldn't resist the ride for too long, however, so they went back for another look, and another, then another… Who knows—we might just see these motor maniacs zipping down PCH in the model sometime soon.

text: Four days in a row of solid surf here. Mostly stomach-chest high and clean. The waves packed some punch between low and high tide. Made tons of progress in my surfing over the past four days just watching surf videos and then getting out and riding wave after wave. My stoke will probably last me through the holiday weekend as I relax with some heavy drinking and tourist watching.

Weighing in at only 1140g, the Zipp 202 is a versatile racing wheelset that also happens to climb like a mountain goat. Look back through the crucial stages of recent Grand Tours and you'll find the 202 winning stages, capturing leader's jerseys and practically floating up the world's toughest climbs.
The 202 was Alberto Contador's wheel of choice during nearly every stage on his way to victory at the 2011 Giro d'Italia, proving that it's a formidable weapon on any terrain. And Zipp triathlete Jan Frodeno won an Olympic gold medal on the 202. Proving its durability, the 202 had even been ridden to a fourth place finish at Paris-Roubaix.
To get to the base of the climb, the 202's 32mm toroidal profile was developed in the wind tunnel to roll on the flats as efficiently as many 45 to 50mm rims. After the summit, the 202's high lateral stiffness delivers precise handling on tricky descents and crisp accelerations to finish off the competition.
New for 2014, the 202 Tubular is built with a the latest iteration of our 188 rear hub, the V9, along with new spoke-lacing pattern for the rear wheel. The refinements result in improved stiffness and durability. The new hub was developed in cooperation of superstar sprinter Mark Cavendish of the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Cycling Team and already is in use by other top pro cyclists and triathletes including Pete Jacobs and Mirinda Carfrae. Cavendish received early hub prototypes in January 2013 and logged 13,000 kilometres (8,078 miles) on continually refined variants, including his stage victories at the Giro d'Italia and the 2013 Tour de France.
The new hub has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability. Our new "virtual 3 cross" lacing on both sides of rear wheel improves stiffness, achieving 3 cross stiffness in a 2 cross pattern with a new spoke geometry. The 188/V9 has 25 percent more torsional stiffness than a leading competitive hub. This measure of stiffness is crucial for the direct power transfer to the rear wheel for out-of-the saddle sprints and climbs. The new hub also is laterally (side-to-side) stiffer that its rival or predecessor.

The most common early sign of lyme disease is the appearance of a rash on the skin that looks like a "bull's eye". The rash begins as a reddened area near the area of the tick bite. As the rash gets bigger, it clears in the center and develops a red ring around the outer perimeter. Other symptoms include muscle or joint aches, stiff neck, headache, weakness, fever, swollen lymph nodes and other flu-like symptoms.

Bud Clough Jr
Thomas "Bud" G. Clough, Jr., a resident of Colville, passed away on June 1, 2011 in Colville at the age of 73. Bud was born on April 19, 1938 in Aberdeen, the son of Thomas George and Edith (Johnson) Clough. Bud moved often with his family as they followed work opportunities. He attended grade school in Oregon and high school in Republic, where he met his high school sweetheart, Carol Marie Hatcher. While attending school, Bud also worked at the San Poil Lumber Yard, loading boxcars after school. On May 28, 1955, Bud married Carol and they began a wonderful life together. Bud worked at the lumber mill for 38 years and helped to rebuild the mill twice following fires. He worked nearly every position in the mill and enjoyed his work. In 1991, he and Carol moved to Roseburg, OR. Bud was soon re-employed, this time as an R.V. technician for I-5 R.V. Sales, where he worked until 2006 and retired. They made time to travel and enjoyed the many miles spent on the road in their R.V. In 2007, Bud was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and they moved to Colville to be near family. Bud was able to reside at home under the watchful eye of his family and in-home caregivers. His recent decline in health required care at the Special Care Unit at Pinewood Nursing Home in Colville. Bud loved his family and spent many weekends on a new adventure with his wife and children. They enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, playing horseshoes, watching stock car races and riding motorcycles together. He took his family on vacations to many places, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Canada, Nashville and Disneyland, just to mention a few. Family tradition was to share opening weekend of fishing season, , followed by fishing excursions throughout Northeast Washington and into Canada throughout the season. As a younger man, he shared song-after-song on the dance floor with his wife, friends and family. He also took great pride in teaching his daughters to dance. Bud will be remembered as a "man's man" with a meat and potatoes approach to life. He appreciated a hard day's work and three good meals a day. He had a wonderful sense of humor, shared many good laughs with family and friends and was always steadfast, even in time of great personal trial. Bud's family and friends will miss him greatly and think of him often.Bud was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Sr. and Edith Clough.He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Carol Clough; daughters, Vicki Melby and husband, Mike, Colville; Peggy Clough, Spokane Valley; Barb Culp and husband, Loren, Republic; sons, Randy Clough and wife, Dawn, Eugene, OR; Rick Clough and wife, Melody, Tonasket; five brothers, Merle, Bob, David, Ted and Wally; 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. A memorial service and potluck will begin at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 18 at the Eagles Lodge in Colville. Memorial contributions may be given to the Special Care Unit at Pinewood Terrace Nursing Home.

Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory has been entrusted with arrangements.

If Only Burr and Capone Had Tweeted...
The no-holds-barred feud between cherubic pop star Justin Bieber and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney has now gone into overdrive. The whole fracas got started when Mr. Carney, 32, said that Mr. Bieber, 18, shouldn't complain that he didn't get any Grammy nominations, because, well, he didn't deserve any.
"He's rich, right?" Mr. Carney said. "Grammys are for, like, music, not money. And he's making a lot of money. He should be happy."
But Mr. Bieber was not happy at all and tilted into Death Star mode, tweeting back that the Black Keys drummer "should be slapped around haha."
Haha? Haha? Did Mr. Bieber dare say haha? Not so fast, riposted Mr. Carney, who changed his Twitter alias to Justin Bieber, replacing his own photo with one vaguely resembling his newfound enemy. Then, tossing fuel onto the flame with a brilliant parody of Mr. Bieber's trademark tweeting style, Mr. Carney tweeted, "Gurl, you give me inspiration to make my music and toothbrushes and all thatz swag to u baby."
While Mr. Carney was waging this shocking, unprecedented scorched-earth campaign against the babyfaced pop star, Mr. Bieber's fans got into the act, unleashing all the naked, primordial savagery that social media can bring to bear on one's enemy. Typical was this contemptuous tweet directed at Mr. Carney:
"Do you even know how stupid and immature u look doing this?" demanded one tweeter, shortly before bedtime. "Aren't you, like, fifty?"
All this brings to mind famous feuds through the ages. It's one of life's great misfortunes that vaunted enemies didn't have Twitter around as a weapon. Such postings would have been unforgettable.
"The Presidency is 4, like, really smart dudez like Thomas Jefferson," tweets Alexander Hamilton, following it up with: "Aaron Burr should b happy 2 b vice president. At least he gets 2 keep all that filthy lucre."
Burr, livid, responds by posting nude photos of the former Treasury secretary on his Facebook page and sneering, "Bring ure gunz up 2 Weehawken, u lily-livered mountebank."
"So, like, u don't even know who ur pater familias is," tweets one of Burr's angered supporters, taking direct aim at Hamilton. Another tweets: "That's why u will never get your pockmarked puss on a benjamin. No 1 will ever say it's all about the hamiltons."
The Hatfields and the McCoys would have been similarly verbally inventive had Twitter existed at the time of their epic, decades-spanning vendetta. "So, like, what kind of name is Hatfield?" tweets Roseanna McCoy, prompting the Hatfields to publish graphic photos of the McCoy clan's eviscerated hog Bucephalus on their website.
"U thieving polecats give each other names like Devil Anse and Johnse," the McCoys fire back. "U are just so totally, like, the pot calling the kettle black."
"U yellowhammer claim-jumpers are, like, a hundred," tweets a miffed social media buff. "Do u no how stoopid this stuff makes u look? Anyway, Johnson is spelled Johnse."
Al Capone and Bugs Moran would have had a similarly memorable time in an online set-to.
"So what if Capone's going 2 Alcatraz?" tweets Capone's hated North Side rival. "Al Capone getz so much moolah he should b happy."
"Bugs Moran should get worked over with a leather sap ho-ho-ho," responds Capone. "I'd like 2 moide da bum."
"U 2 hoods should take it on the lam ho-ho-ho," says Eliot Ness, who changes his Twitter alias to Scarface to further infuriate his nemesis.
Other candidates for Twitter feuds range from Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis to Josef Stalin and Leon Trotsky to those famous old epic-movie friends turned enemies, Ben-Hur and Messala.
"Ben-Hur should b happy 2b a galley slave," Messala tweets. "Galley slavery is awesome."
"Messala should get dragged around the Coliseum until his face turns 2 raw chuck stake ha-ha," Ben-Hur replies.
"Your Mom should b a galley slave 2," an incensed Messala tweets. "She looks like a galley slave."
"Leave me out of this," tweets Ben-Hur's mom. "What are you guys, like, 8?"

Swallowing Stones (Paperback)
Lisa St Aubin de Teran's Swallowing Stones is a fictionalized account of the extraordinary life of one Oswaldo Barreto Miliani, code-named Otto -- adviser to Castro, confidant of Salvador Allende, and sharp thorn in the sides of both the CIA and the KGB.
