Hereford doesn't spend a lot of time talking about being a districtwide target. Nevertheless, the fact remains that every team in District 3-4A has the defending state champions No. 1 on their list.
The Lady Whitefaces officially start their run toward another district title against Palo Duro tonight in Hereford as 3-4A play begins. The Lady Dons are among six teams looking to make life difficult for coach Brenda Kitten's squad in 2002.
"We hope we come out and play like top dogs, not like a bunch of puppies," said Kitten, whose team went 14-0 in district play before capturing the Class 4A state title in 2001.
"This is such a difficult district that if you can get out of it somewhat unscathed, then you're pretty well prepared going into the playoffs. Getting out of it, however, is the hard part."
Though Hereford is the favorite to claim the 3-4A title in late October, Dumas and Randall are two teams that have the capability to make things interesting.
Randall's size and Dumas' consistency make them legitimate threats to unseat the Lady Whitefaces.
"Traditionally, it's been us and Hereford fighting it out for first place, and whoever wins there usually goes on to state," said Dumas coach Jack Wilson, whose Demonettes are on the road against Plainview tonight.
"Hereford's the team to beat, without a doubt. They've got the talent and the tradition. Somebody's got to knock them off, and hopefully we can do that. We have nine seniors this year and we feel like we're ready to do some good things."
On the other hand, the Lady Raiders believe their impressive navigation through a rigid preseason schedule should make them district contenders, Randall coach Shelly Williams said.
"I hope that's prepared us for what's ahead," said Williams, whose team will open district play against Pampa tonight at home.
"I'm pleased with how far we've come during the preseason, but we still have a lot of growing to do. We played Dumas in the Frenship Tournament and took them to three games, and it could've gone either way in that third game. We just made some mistakes at the end that cost us the match."
The Demonettes defeated Hereford twice during the Pampa Tournament in late August.
Wilson didn't put a lot of credence into those wins, though, because Hereford was missing starters Tiffany Mercer and Kali Gerber.
Still, one would believe Wilson would revel in his team's position as a prime contender without the pressure of being the favorite. That's not the case, he said.
"I'd rather be in their spot," he said of Hereford. "I like to be the front-runner and to be the guy everybody's shooting at. But right now we're not."
Then there's Pampa, Plainview, Palo Duro and Caprock, teams lurking outside the spotlight seeking to alter the balance of power in 3-4A.
"The girls in the past have looked at the Randalls, the Herefords and the Dumases and thought they weren't good enough to compete," said 23-year-old Palo Duro coach Brittany Bridge, who makes her district head coaching debut against the No. 1-ranked Lady Whitefaces.
"They've improved so much, though, that I think they've realized that they're good enough to do that. We've got the attitude that there's nothing to lose. That's the only way we can go at it. It's a new year, there's a new coach, and we've got a different team out there."
For six teams in 3-4A, the new year begins tonight.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Gary Nelson sounds like a proud father when he talks about NASCAR's controversial Car of Tomorrow.
"If you stood behind the car of today, the back bumper is six inches off center line of the rest of the car. It looks like somebody has run into it. I have to argue big that a car that looks like it's been in a wreck cannot look as good as a car that has smooth lines."
-- Gary Nelson
No matter how many bad things are said about it, from the boxy look that has been described as "butt ugly" to the technology that has been called a step backwards, he defends it like a parent does a child.
In many ways, Nelson is the father of the COT that will debut in 16 Nextel Cup events this season, beginning with the March 25 race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Four years ago, it was Nelson who organized efforts at NASCAR's Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., to design a car that would enhance safety and promote better racing.
So when he hears negative comments, he takes offense, even though he resigned last February as vice president of the R&D center to open his own consulting agency specializing in the overall safety and performance of motorsports.
Still actively involved with NASCAR and individual teams in completing the COT, Nelson said many complaints come from the same people who recommended features incorporated into the car.
"Oh, yeah," said Nelson, biting his tongue not to throw anybody under the bus. "The way I sort it out, each team to be successful has to work their own agenda, what's best for them.
"That's a moving target based on where they are in the rankings. If I'm a championship contender I don't want anything to change. My agenda would be to have another great season in 2007. If you notice, most of the complaints are coming from those in the top 10."
Nelson said reaction to the COT is no different than reaction to NASCAR's decision to switch from full- to mid-size cars after the fuel shortage in the late 1970s.
"It went from the size of a Cadillac Fleetwood to a Buick Regal," Nelson recalled. "If you went to the Daytona 500 [in 1981] you would have heard a much larger percentage of the garage say, 'We'll never get these cars to run good. Why can't we have our old cars back?'
"Now they're wondering the same thing about this car. It's like guys that said they didn't like the Chase [NASCAR's playoff] when it was first announced. I know some people had to eat their words."
Nelson, who was behind NASCAR's move to SAFER [Steel and Foam Energy Reduction] barriers, is confident the same thing will happen with the COT once it gets into competition.
"We feel certain there is going to be developments with the car that makes it work better," he said. "There is no way the R&D Center can find all the answers without going out and racing."
Fighting change is a way of life in NASCAR. Nelson noted there were those who fought the decision to mandate head and neck restraints after Dale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
He said some even fought NASCAR over having to wear gloves.
"It kind of reminds me of being a parent, telling a kid how to cross the street and how to ride his bicycle," Nelson said. "NASCAR has the confidence that the studies they have done are accurate and the idea is solid and the result will be good."
Nelson was assigned to the R&D center four years ago, shortly after it began operation to make the sport safer following the loss of drivers Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin in 2000.
The priority on safety increased after Earnhardt's death, beginning with improving the driver restraint system and testing all belts used. That was followed by safety training sessions for those who built and worked on the cars.
That led to countless tests to get the SAFER barriers used in the Indy Racing League suitable for stock car racing, which was followed by getting each track to install them.
As the R&D introduced new safety features, it was determined that a new roll cage and absorption system were needed to make the car safer for the smallest to tallest driver.
Nelson said the only way to do that was to make the car bigger and boxier.
He laughs when people such as four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon say they could implement all the safety features of the COT into the current car. He tells them to talk to 6-foot-4 Michael Waltrip, who is 6 to 12 inches taller than most drivers.
"Michael Waltrip or anybody near his size would not have the margins for safety that the little guy has," Nelson said. "If the sport caters to little guys only, then that is an injustice to those other guys."
Nelson also chuckles at those who question the boxy shape, recalling the hundreds of times he's been told all NASCAR had to do to make racing more competitive was to make the cars boxier.
He quickly remarks that the current car has been twisted and bent so much to improve aerodynamics that it looks like "it's been in a wreck."
"If you stood behind the car of today, the back bumper is six inches off center line of the rest of the car," Nelson said. "It looks like somebody has run into it.
"I have to argue big that a car that looks like it's been in a wreck cannot look as good as a car that has smooth lines."
Nelson also scoffs at complaints that the rear wing that will replace the spoiler, as well as the front-end spoiler, detracts from the looks.
"My opinion is it looks pretty darn good," he said of the COT. "Once you see them painted and see them on the track the fan sitting in the grandstand won't be able to tell the difference.
"Sure, a wing on the back of a stock car is an adjustment. But I was in stock car racing when there was no spoiler. When they first went to a spoiler people said it was ugly. Now they say it looks good."
NASCAR's extensive research indicates the wing can't help but create more passing and better racing despite concerns that it will create more problems.
Nelson said the current spoiler distributes turbulent air off the sides of the car, making it easy to catch another car but difficult to pass. He said most of the air from the wing is directed behind the car, making passing easier in what drivers commonly call "clean air."
Reaction from on-track testing has been mixed. Cup champion Jimmie Johnson says the car is more aerodynamically dependent than research indicates.
"We feel there is value there that a lot of folks don't understand," Nelson said. "And we certainly won't completely understand it until we get a lot more experience, but the logic certainly is there."
Cost also has been a matter of debate that bothers Nelson. NASCAR insists the COT will save money because teams won't need to build special cars for short tracks, 1.5-mile tracks, superspeedways and road courses.
The governing body argues teams will be able to get by on eight to 10 cars instead of 18 to 21 once the COT is completely phased in four years from now.
Not everybody is convinced. Evernham Motorsports owner Ray Evernham says the cost of building the COT and maintaining the current car will run some smaller teams out of business.
Owner Richard Childress estimates he'll need 21 COTs in 2007. He already has added 90,000 square feet of work space and 50 new employees to accommodate preparations for the new car.
Todd Berrier, the crew chief for Richard Childress Racing's Kevin Harvick, estimates he'll need more cars because the COT can't be repaired as fast as the current car.
"If you hit the wall like Mark Martin did [at Lowe's Motor Speedway in October] the complete body has to come off of it because of the way the templates are all integrated," Berrier said this past fall. "It's not like you can roll it into the fab shop and get it back by lunchtime and have a side on it."
Nelson understands the concerns, but believes they are an overreaction to the unknown.
"All of us at NASCAR know in our hearts the car is going to be less expensive for the owner," he said. "When we hear these negative responses, you've got to realize a guy that feels like he's got the team with the best engineering and best budget and performance doesn't want to change anything.
"We know everybody has an agenda that may not be best for the whole sport. NASCAR's agenda is what's best for the whole sport."
Nelson insists all the homework he and other NASCAR officials have done on the COT will make the sport better. Because of that he discounts most of the rumors and speculation about problems with the car.
He'll continue to work closely with NASCAR and race teams until the project is complete.
"I've got a full calendar," said Nelson, who was considered one of the more innovative crew chiefs in the garage before he moved into NASCAR management in the mid-1990s. "I'm much busier than I ever thought I would be when I left.
"It's too early to judge the car now. The grade the car gets in three years, almost four years from now, that's the one I look forward to. When you compare it to the car of today it's going to do very well."

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Retailing | Finally breaking its silence regarding the feud with Hachette over sales terms, Amazon acknowledged it's buying less print inventory and "safety stock" from the publisher and is no longer taking pre-orders for its titles. And while Amazon conceded that "Hachette has operated in good faith and we admire the company and its executives," the retail giant said "we are not optimistic that this will be resolved soon." The company also recognized the affect the dispute may have on authors, revealing it offered to fund 50 percent of an author pool to help mitigate the impact. Hachette responded, saying it was glad Amazon has admitted its actions have an effect on authors: "We will spare no effort to resume normal business relations with Amazon—which has been a great partner for years — but under terms that value appropriately for the years ahead the author's unique role in creating books, and the publisher's role in editing, marketing, and distributing them, at the same time that it recognizes Amazon's importance as a retailer and innovator."

In the battle no one ever expected — Dragon Ball's Goku vs. One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy — no clear winner emerges, but there is an obvious loser: the sidewalks of Tokyo.
The pretty impressive life-size sculpture is on display through Sunday outside the Shibuya Parco department store to promote the release of J-Stars Victory Vs., the Shonen Jump 45th-anniversary multiplayer fighting game featuring many of the magazine's most popular characters.

Creators | Frannie Jackson talks with a handful of prominent creator couples — Mike Allred and Laura Allred, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, Colleen Coover and Paul Tobin — about sexism within the comics industry. "I'm occasionally invited to participate in panel discussions about 'women in comics,'" Coover says. "I'm usually emotionally torn by those invitations, because, yeah, I want women in comics to thrive and be seen as thriving, but I'd much rather be part of a discussion about 'awesome creators in comics' that's stacked with awesome women and men."

Retailing | Andrew Wyrich visits several comics shops in the North Jersey area and finds they rely on a friendly atmosphere and incentive programs to keep customers coming back. "People who buy comics tend to have a $40 weekly budget," said Len Katz, co-owner of The Joker's Child in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. "We hear of people who love comics, but eventually just hit a wall with expenses. The key for us is to get customers coming back. The reality is we are not a necessary item; we aren't milk, bread or cheese." [The Record]
Keiji Kiriya, the hero of All You Need Is Kill, is a rookie soldier who's killed in his first battle but can't stay dead: Each time he dies, he comes back to the same moment and relives it. With mankind locked in a battle with killer aliens, Keiji uses his strange reincarnation to train himself to be a super-soldier and save humanity.
All You Need Is Kill started out as a light novel, written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and illustrated by alt-manga artist Yoshitoshi ABe. Now it's back as a manga, adapted by Takeshi Obata, who is well known to English-language readers as the artist of Hikaru No Go, Death Note and Bakuman.
The manga launched on Saturday and is being serialized simultaneously in Viz Media's digital magazine Shonen Jump and the Japanese Weekly Young Jump. Shonen Jump is kicking it off with a special Obata-theme issue that features chapters of Hikaru No Go and Bakuman as well as the first chapter of All You Need Is Kill.
And there's more All You Need Is Kill on the way: The novel forms the basis for the film Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise, which will be released this summer, and Viz, which published the light novel and is publishing the manga, is also producing an original graphic novel based on the story.
We talked to Alexis Kirsch, the editor of the English edition of the manga. We also have a preview of the manga, which is available in this week's Shonen Jump.
In a true-crime story unfolding across Japan, stores are pulling products and venues are canceling events related to the manga and anime Kuroko's Basketball because of a series of threatening letters targeting locations linked to the manga's creator, Tadatoshi Fujimaki, the manga, and doujinshi (fan comic) events related to it.
The first threat letters, at least one of which may have contained deadly poison, were sent more than a year ago, but the pace seems to be accelerating: The sender has hinted he or she may commit a crime on Nov. 4, and a new set of letters has emerged claiming the perpetrator is negotiating with the editors of Japanese Shonen Jump, which serializes the manga.
On Monday, the Japanese manga, video and game rental chain Tsutuya confirmed it has removed all copies Kuroko's Basketball manga and anime. The Yurindo and Reliable bookstore chains are also removing the books. However, a number of bookstores, including Kinokuniya, Sanseido, Junkudo and Miyawaki, say they will continue to carry the manga despite receiving threatening letters demanding its removal.
In addition, the 7-Eleven convenience store chain is removing Kuroko's Basketball-themed snacks from 1,500 locations after receiving a letter that said, "I left food products laced with poison in 7-Eleven." The letter included a photograph of the snacks. Another convenience chain has stopped carrying a line of Kuroko's Basketball tie-ins, including character dolls and plush toys.
Publishing | John Jackson Miller dissects the latest sales numbers and finds July 2013 to be the second-best month for comics sales in the direct market so far this century—actually, since 1997. Combined comics and graphic novel sales were up almost 17 percent compared to July 2012, and year-to-date sales are up almost 13 percent compared to last year. [The Comichron]
Retailing | Brian Hibbs, one of the founding members of the direct-market trade organization ComicsPRO, has left the group "because of the reactions of the Board to recent DC moves." He revealed his decision in the comments on his blog post about DC's allocation of 3D covers for Villains Month: "The org that I formed was intended to look out for the little guy; the current Board seems much more interested in keeping the big guys big. Democracy in action, I suppose, so I vote with my dollars." [ICv2]
I've always disliked fireworks, an aversion I blame on a crippling childhood fear that they would rain down on me like the white-hot fire of a sparkler. That said, I might be convinced to change my mind about them if there were more manga-themed pyrotechnic displays like the one held Thursday in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture.
At Kotaku, Brian Ashcroft writes that Shonen Jump held its own fireworks celebration at a summer festival, with the focus on many of its own hit properties, like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball and Gintama. Judging from the photos, and the video below, Luffy's hat was definitely my favorite. You can see many more images at Kotaku.
Publishing | Lions Forge Comics announced a partnership this morning with NBC Universal to create digital comics based on five television series from the 1980s and 1990s: Knight Rider, Airwolf, Miami Vice, Punky Brewster and Saved by the Bell. The comics will be released on a variety of e-book platforms, including Kindle, Nook and Kobo, but there was no mention of comics apps such as comiXology. [USA Today]
Publishing | Denis Kitchen's Kitchen Sink, long a packager whose comics were published by others, will now be an imprint of Dark Horse, releasing four to six books a year. The imprint will include art books, reprints of archival material, and new graphic novels; it will kick off with The Best of Comix Book: When Marvel Went Underground!, a collection of works from the Marvel magazine, which was edited by Kitchen and Stan Lee. [ICv2]
Publishing | ICv2 posts a three-part interview with IDW Publishing CEO Ted Adams that covers a multitude of subjects, including the company's digital strategy, the Artists Editions, news that Scholastic has picked up its My Little Pony comics, and that the publisher's book sales are up, even though Borders is gone: "The book market used to make me crazy on this returnable basis basically forever. That was never a sustainable business model. Where we are today is we are able to sell product in a reasonable way so that the bookstores get a chance to sell the product and we don't get these giant returns. " [ICv2]
Piracy | Earlier this year, the Chinese Internet company Tencent inked a deal with Shueisha, the publisher of Shonen Jump and thus the licensor of some of the most popular manga in the world. One consequence of this deal has just hit home with the Chinese reading public: Scanlations are disappearing from the web, and fans are not happy. [Kotaku]
Legal | In the aftermath of last month's ruling that DC Comics retains full rights to Superman, the heirs of creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are urging federal judge to dismiss claims that their lawyer interfered with the publisher's copyright to the character. DC sued attorney Marc Toberoff in May 2010, accusing him impeding a 1992 copyright agreement with the heirs by striking overriding deals with them in 2001 and 2003. The families insist the publisher filed its claims two years too late, as the statute of limitations expired in 2008. [Law360]
Webcomics | Malicious hackers hit the Blind Ferret servers last week, and they didn't just wipe out the websites that host Least I Could Do, Girls with Slingshots and other high-profile webcomics — they also wiped out the backups. Gary Tyrell has the story and advises creators to have multiple backups in multiple locations. [Fleen]
Digital comics | ComiXology, which earlier this week announced the opening of a European branch, has revealed its first big score: a digital-distribution agreement with Delcourt, the top independent publisher in France. And comiXology kicked off the agreement by updating its dedicated Walking Dead app to include a French interface and the French editions of the comic. The company also plans a dedicated Lanfeust of Troy app, and of course it will roll out Delcourt titles on its regular app as well. [ComiXology]
Auctions | A copy of Detective Comics #27, which contains the first appearance of Batman (or, as he was called in 1939, "the Bat-Man"), will go on the auction block later this month. The comic, which is CGC rated 6.5, is expected to fetch $500,000, but there's no reserve, so this might be an opportunity to pick up a bargain. [Art Daily]
Publishing | The X-Files is in the headline, but this interview with IDW Publishing Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall covers a lot of ground, including the logistics of continuing a defunct TV franchise as a comic, the standouts among IDW's young creators, and the challenges of being a comics writer. [Hero Complex]
Publishing | Alvin Lu has left his position as executive vice president of the manga publisher Viz Media. Lu had been at Viz for 13 years and was one of the top executives in the company, reporting directly to CEO Hidemi Fukuhara. [ICv2]
Comics | The graphic novel Metro, once banned in Egypt, is available in Cairo once more. [The Comics Reporter]
Creators | For Slate's "Doers" feature — "People who accomplish great things, and how they do it" — David Wiegel spotlights Rob Liefeld's decision to revive his Extreme Studios line by handing over the properties to creators like Brandon Graham, Joe Keatinge and Tim Seeley. Acknowledging his critics prefer these new versions of Glory, Prophet and Bloodstrike to his originals, Liefeld tells the website, ""The internet snark has zero effect on me. I was there 20 years ago, I'm out there on the convention circuit, I experience the real and tangible enthusiasm for me and my work. You can't rewrite the history books, you can't eliminate the impact of my work and my characters. […] Rob Liefeld is to today as Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan are to my kids." [Slate.com]
Passings | Paul Gravett pays tribute to the late British writer and critic Les Coleman. [Paul Gravett]
Keiji Nakazawa, who lived through the bombing of Hiroshima as a child and wrote the internationally acclaimed Barefoot Gen about his experiences, died Dec. 19 of lung cancer. He was 73.
Nakazawa was 7 years old on Aug. 6, 1945, the day the bomb was dropped. As he recounted in his autobiography, he was walking to school and stopped to answer a question from an adult, when suddenly, in an instant, the whole world changed: "a pale light like the flash of a flashbulb camera, white at the center, engulfed me, a great ball of light with yellow and red mixed at its out edge."
He was standing next to a concrete wall, so he was partially shielded from the blast, although he was covered in rubble, and a nail went through his cheek. The adult he had been speaking to was burned to death on the spot. There was more horror to come: His father, brother and sister were killed when their burning house collapsed on them. Nakazawa recounted these events, which his mother told him about later, in a 2007 interview:
Comics | Ohio drivers moved a little closer to getting their Superman specialty license plate Wednesday as the proposal was outlined for a state Senate committee. The bill, which already passed the state House, is on track to go to the full Senate for a vote before the end of the year. The Siegel & Shuster Society launched the campaign for the plates in July 2011 to honor the 75th anniversary of the Man of Steel in 2013; the character, which debuted in 1938, was created six years earlier in Cleveland by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The original plan for the plates to include the slogan "Birthplace of Superman," that met with objections from Warner Bros., which insisted he was born on Krypton. The legend will now read, "Truth, Justice and the American Way." [Plain Dealer]
Manga | Tony Yao summarizes a recent article from The Nikkei Shimbun that analyzes the readership of Shonen Jump, which is 50 percent female despite the magazine being targeted to boys ("shonen" means "boy" in Japanese).

Auburn police investigate a shooting at the University Heights apartment complex on West Longleaf Drive in Auburn, Ala., Sunday, June 10, 2012. Auburn police issued no official statement, but confirmed there was a shooting with multiple victims at the apartment complex late Saturday evening. (AP Photo/The Birmingham News/Frank Couch)
Alabama authorities say two men are now charged with hindering the search for a man suspected of killing three people and wounding three more during a party near Auburn University.
Auburn police say 18-year-old Jeremy Thomas of Montgomery is charged with hindering prosecution after allegedly fleeing the scene of the shooting with the prime suspect, 22-year-old Desmonte Leonard.
Police are still looking for a third person who was with them.
Meanwhile, Montgomery police say 41-year-old Gabriel Thomas is also charged with hindering prosecution.
They say Thomas had contact with Leonard and then gave police false information about his whereabouts.
Authorities said Leonard was charged with three counts of capital murder in shooting that occurred Saturday night during a pool part at University Heights apartments in Auburn.

Definition of Homeopathy
Homeopathy: Founded in the 19th century, a practice that is based on the concept that disease can be treated with minute doses of drugs thought capable of producing in healthy people the same symptoms as those of the disease being treated. This principle is similar to the concept behind exposure therapy for allergies, but the amounts of active medication used in homeopathy are so small as to be almost undetectable. Scientific studies of homeopathy have returned mixed results. It is considered alternative medicine in the US.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Wow great win for East! they'll definitely be the favorite in 4A all season long, and although I will admit I am biased as a logan fan/former player East will be tough to beat! My only hope is that east has been dominant in the previous years and has lost only 4 games in the last 3 years and 3 of those were to Logan. Not saying that it really matters this year but when a team looks THIS GOOD like East, I gotta hold on to some hope somewhere! Hope we get a shot at them at state.

Even the reffs cant stop this train! way to go East stay humble keep consistant and work hard. I love all the clash of the titans comments it should have been but i think east is on a whole nother level this year..
Is region 6 nervous about the east train?

The East fans are the best! This is the 3rd consecutive year that they pop off
early in the season how they are not only the best in 4A, but in the state and
that no one has a chance against them. So what do they have to show for it the
past 2 years?
A loss to Logan and the embarrassment by T-Birds last year! So they have won 3 games in a row against Alta, Kahuku and Jordan, which looks good if they were all the same teams last year. Letʻs put it in perspective now. Alta is 1-2, Kahuku is no where near the team they were last year (St. Louis in Hawaii worked them before they came up) and Jordan went to San Diego and got whupped.
Holla at me when they actually win a state title, as Iʻm betting Highland will beat them in Region.

Happy Halloween by d-torresWatch
©2011-2016 d-torres
Hey everyone. Its been quite a while since the last post. Im under some NDA contracts so i wont be able to post anything anytime soon, so i figured it out it would be nice to post something different. Halloween is always a great time of the year, specially regarding movies. Im a horror movie fan so decided to pay some homage doing a digital painting. Although we dont have the massive halloween atitude here in Brasil,i always had great time scaring people on the streets with cheap masks (which i still own till this day btw) and watching horror movies as a kid. Such fond memories. We just dont forget the first time we see Michael Myers. Anyways, heres the painting. Make sure to visit my blog to check the process: [link] Happy Halloween!
It's almost Halloween again
ahaha. this is terrific!
Awesome stuff man!
How clever.
lol!!!! That's just awesome halloween is 1 of my 2 favorite holidays as well and i'm very picky with what pictures i put into my fav folder for that category but this pic definitely makes the cut
reverse trick or treat
Amazing concept and execution. Where is your daily deviation for this imaginative piece?
Amazing work!!
haahhaha cant stop laughing! this is awesome...
ahhaha Brilliant, now I'll have smile on my face for whole day
nice job! i love it! >3<
That's just awesome.
That. Is. Terrifying. I LOVE IT.
Thanx for adding to that gallery. A lot of interesting work there.
Man, that is freaky and fantastic. As far back as I can remember, I'd always been fascinated with monsterous abominations and aberrations. The Alien franchise, for instance, and The Thing, Relic, etc.
Yeah, i'm a monster fan too. There is something very disturbing in twisting the human anatomy. I'm a big fan of John Carpenter's ealier work. The thing is one of my favourites. I always appreciate some interesting monster designs. One of the thing i enjoy the most is creature design although i don't have that much examples on my portfolio. Nice of you to drop some comments here. Always welcome, man!
Thank you all for the feedback!!
shared on facebook...awesome work!
Very nice!
wow great !
I think I've been to that house
Great stuff!
Great stuff!

Better Tech Info Needed[edit]
Info should be added on it's rotation and how it's able to maneuver with rotation.--18.104.22.168 (talk) 05:54, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
The capability info appears to be cut-&-pastes from adverts. It's a lot of detailed guff that does not give any idea of the missile's actual capability. The max range is listed as 25k feet. Presumably its max altitude is a lot less than that - the usual potential energy requirements apply. It does not appear to have the ability to down a large airliner at normal cruise altitude.
Someone providing the source for that flyaway cost would be a smart idea. -- Penta 18:29, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I've added some more data for the costings from Janes, also I've adjusted the Lith. costings to assume 1/3rd of the money went on missiles. I guess if you only order 69 missiles, you don't get the same kind of volume discount you get when ordering 2,500. Megapixie 16:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
A Dutch soldier told me (at the Landmachtdagen 2006) that a Stinger missile costs about a ton (in euro's), which, in Dutch, is 100.000. They only get to practice-fire once, and that's against radio-controlled model-planes. The same Dutch soldier also said that the range for a Stinger is about 4-6 kilometers far (could be more), and 3 kilometers high. Also, modern Stingers used by the Netherlands also used ultraviolet detection (on top of ultra-red), to which aircraft appear as blind spots. He later demonstrated this by aiming his Stinger (a trainer version, weight: 12 kilo's, I recall) at overflying F-16's. The Afghans used a version without the ultra-violet detection. Also, the missile is single-fire, but the 'aim/trigger' part can be re-used (this is actually the most valuable part). (The modern stinger also has a smaller, round battery)
Kyrandos 05:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Said dutch soldier talks too much, especially in regards to the max range... I know in at least one certain country those numbers are classified. Further, he's yanking your chain. "They only get to practice-fire once, and that's against radio-controlled model-planes."
Yeah right. How the hell is a model airplane going to give off an IR signature for the missile to lock onto? He was messing with you.
Foreign manufacture[edit]
The Stinger missile was also produced and serviced abroad, e.g. in Germany by Bodenseewerk Gerätetechnik (BGT). Production included the seeker heads. As far as I know the Swiss bought the licence to built them themselves too.

EADS is a German/European company, so all participating countries would buy from them, not from Raytheon... No??? Spain, UK, France, Italy & Germany are part of EADS... 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:28, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
To be perfectly honest, I strongly believe all information as to supposed prices of the missile should be removed, as they are WIDELY inaccurate. Not only is the information strongly biased to what year the missiles were manufactured, theres other factors involved, such as was it sold as a missile or ready round? Were RPU's included? Was training equipment included in cost? An accurate gauging of todays real world pricing for these missiles shouldn't even be attempted unless someone can directly get this information from the manufacturer (which I very much do not think you will).
Further, I basically gaurantee what few stingers exist in non-scrupulous hands do not work these days. The BCU (batteries) have a nasty habit of getting destroyed / going bad very easily, and considering what tremendously poor conditions these missiles would be subjected to, I couldn't possibly imagine a single one of them working to this day. It's important to understand that the batteries are not at all 'normal' batteries that could be quickly jury-rigged. There is indeed a thermal battery which I suppose could conceivably be replaced, but the BCU's also provide a pressurized stream of argon gas to cool the IR seeker while obtaining and tracking a target.
The stinger is a rather effective weapon for all intents and purposes, however is very prone to the rigors of maltreatment. In short, there is very little to worry about for any rogue stingers out there. - Kyrandos
- Nice to see a contributor with some first hand knowledge of the subject :) Regarding the prices - the Lith. prices are somewhat speculative - but the other prices are all from Janes (i.e. a somewhat reputable source) - and the article clearly indicates when the contracts were signed. I don't understand what the rationale for removing the information is.
- Regarding the rogue stingers - I agree - the problem isn't so much the original missiles, but Chinese, Pakistani or North Korean copies that have been made from the "lost" missiles. Megapixie 05:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- I removed the information originally because I would basically put down every penny I own to say that the any price someone might slap down there is pretty wildly off. Janes, while being a pretty good source, is not the same as holding a recent invoice listing purchase price. As I said before, there are just so many factors involved, such as how close to new technology we are getting (USA is getting ready to replace with SLAMRAM in the next 5 years or so), new innovations in the design or programming of the RCU's, purchased batch size, etc etc etc. A missile like a patriot is easy to put a price on - to say 'oh, a PAC 3 costs about 3 million or so" is accurate enough to satisfy. Stingers, however, are just a different beast entirely. Regardless, people who are looking for a value would probably be more happy with an educated, but inaccurate guess than nothing at all. In that light, I will not edit any pricing. - Kyrandos
"The very first Stinger fired in anger shot down an Argentine Pucara ground attack aircraft."
changed to:
"The very first Stinger fired in combat shot down an Argentine Pucara ground attack aircraft."
Please revert my change if I'm wrong. 184.108.40.206 09:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- "fired in anger" is a term of art (albeit somewhat old fashioned), not a non-neutral term. It means "with an intent to cause harm" or "in combat"--as opposed to training, accidents, etc. It does not mean that the UK soldier who shot at the Pucara literally was angry at the time. (Nervous was probably more like it.) Epstein's Mother 05:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I got the impression that the aforementioned souldier was very angry (maybe the said aircraft killed one of his comrades), what is meant to be said? --126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- I wrote that section. I chose "fired in anger" as shorthand for "fired in the course of hostile military operations between two aggressors rather than on exercise or during a test". It is a neutral term that does not literally imply that the soldier was angry. From what I have read, he was in fact curious and then thrilled and then frustrated in that order. NB Wikipedia is available in languages other than English; your own localised version would benefit from your participation. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:30, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
What about shipments of stingers to Mujahideens during Soviet war in Afghanistan ?
- WHat about them? 90% chance not a single one of them works anymore. Without the BCU's, the missile is next to useless, and they only last
for so long and are easily broken. -This is speculation of course, but I very much doubt there are many mission capable stingers floating around over there... if any.
- The Movie "Charlie Wilson's War" does have superimposed inforamtion as to how many planes & Helicopters where shot down with the Stinger during the CIA Operation! Those figures should be pretty accurate??? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
What is that thing?[edit]
I've tried and tried, but I cant figure it out. What's that basket-like frame on the righthand side of the launcher for? A cage for batteries? Auxilliary computer equipment? A fix point for use on vehicles? A rack for girlie mags? I mean, to make a few guesses... --Oceanhahn 12:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
This "basket-like frame" is the IFF atenna (Indentification Friend Foe). It picks up a coded signal from the planes. If they have this equipment and it is switched on. A cable pluged in the pistol grip conect it with a decoder. This one tells by sound if the signal matches or not. Since it only works if the plane is in certain angle to the antena and all the things told above it is considered as quite useless. At least by the Stinger operaters in Swiss Air Force. The eyes are a much more reliable tool. --CHmale81 15:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! --Oceanhahn 01:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I had the exact same question, and found the answer only here. Thanks from me as well. This information should really be included in the main article. Todd 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have to agree with the post before me! What & how it works i only found in here! And why does it have to be attached even though, for example in Afghanistan, it's not used since all Planes in the 80s in Afghanistan were Soviet...??? Seams silly and on top unnecessary weight to carry around...! And yes, this information needs to be included in the main article! Best is to explain what the various parts are, not just the basket!!! 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Confusing picture coment[edit]
The second picture's coment is somwhat inacurate. Current version: "A Stinger system: Launcher, Missile and Battery" But what we can see are in fact the launcher, the missile and the IFF decoder. Anyway, in the case of the Stinger system one should speak about a BCU and not battery. See also the describtion.--CHmale81 16:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
There is the IFF. The basket you are talking about which is known as Identification Friend or Foe. Each and every airplane is constantly sending a signal which which changes daily, the IFF picks up signal and alerts the gunner giving him advance information on the aircraft POSSIBLY giving him a better time frame in which to detrimine if in fact it is friend or foe.
Now, however, "Rules of Engagement" specically require the senior man (which is not the gunner)in the two man crew to visually identify the aircraft and alert the gunner to fire or not.

Info on Swiss-licensed Stinger.[edit]
Hi. I've found some info on Wikipedia from the Swiss army page that Switzerland made Stingers under license. Is it made by Oerlikon Contraves? Regards Ominae (talk) 02:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
The page mentions that the US attempted to buy missiles back form someone; however, it does not mention from whom. Without knowing who was in possession, the sentence is largely useless.
Iranian Manufacture[edit]
This article mentioned that the Iranians have copied the Stinger missile. However, the links provided (to articles from 1987) only mention that the Iranians *claim* to have copied it or only just used the specimens they acquired on patrol boats. I would think that after 20 years we would have slightly more information. I've never heard of such an Iranian-manufactured copy or seen a designation.
- I would think after 20 years they'd be able to pull it off. Hell, after 20 years, even a moron such as yourself could make a copy. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Also, the Iranians use a copy of the Chinese QW-1 MANPAD called the Misagh-1. That system "incorporates features" attributed to the Stinger missile, but is by no means a direct copy. (Darthveda (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC))
This may not be that relevant, but I have consistently come across people overseas who pronounce the name of the weapon as "StinJer", that is, with a J instead of G. -Todd 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
No any Stingers in Albanian inventory. Megalomaniacs or maybe paranoids has posted that Albania has SA-5, 500 SA-16, MIM-23, FIM-92 and i dont still know what else. Millions of people get wrong information, everybody can write down whatever noncence he likes or imagine. The situation with all these SAM Albanian systems is very unhappy. I wonder if Albania has any B-2 bombers or any F-117 planes. Especcially in armed forces etc articles everyboby can make the inventory of his country armed forces as he likes or wishes. At BMP-3 IFV for example i removed many times the vehicle from people adding it to their army inventory or at the BMP-3 article. False countries were Serbia, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Syria, etc. People from many countries write everything they want. The system of acces must change to avoid to every idiot to write down whatever he like and to give to million of readers wrong informations. John, Athens 12 March 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Feed system[edit]
Could this weapon be reloaded? If yes, then how? --Damërung (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
The electronic component can be removed and attached to a new rocket and tube. A rocket itself cannot be reloaded into the tube.
Prior to Yugoslav Wars a fair amount of these were smuggled into Yugoslav republic of Croatia by the separatist government and secret services of several NATO and NATO-friendly countries, to be used against the federal JNA air force. They were indeed used with some success along the somewhat less efficient Strela 2s provided by Croatian soldiers and officers deserting the JNA and those captured in the Battle of the Barracks.
Additional radar[edit]
Back in the mid-80s, the Army was experimenting with an additional manned radar, to be positioned some distance from the Stinger gunner and to provide early warning of and relative bearing to target. Can't recall the designation: TRIM?-, TRAP?-something. Anyone know about this? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- I just found an allusion to this elsewhere: it was a variation on the Army's AN/MPQ-49 Forward Area Alerting Radar (FAAR); to be used to alert Stinger gunners to incoming aircraft. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Afghanistan PK[edit]
The argument about the Stinger is not so clear: basically, the Pk probability is said to be from 25 to 80%, and more than this, there are numbers like 270-300 kills, that basically seems to be around almost the totality of soviet losses, a bit not so credible imho, after all Stingers came only from 1986. I think about that numbers, they are overrated a bit.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 00:51, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Further investigation: it's called FAAR, isn't it? Was there any plan to use it aboard ships? 220.127.116.11 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
The Russian helicopters used in the Afghan War were not properly equipped with countermeasures and missile warning devices. Armored attack choppers that were once considered protected against small arms fire, had become extremely vulnerable to goat herders with modern SAMs. Later on in the war flares, ECM systems, missile warning systems, and modifications were made to the aircraft and tactics to try to counter the new threat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

A to I Variants[edit]
What would be different from variants of the Stinger e.g. FIM-92A, FIM-92B, FIM-92C ..... FIM-92I. Would it be the missile? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 03:38, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

The Best Daytime Radio
In searching out excellent "office hours" radio, I keep returning to KUSF, A San Francisco community radio station that broadcasts online. Their taste in music is both eclectic and impeccable. In the past week I've heard Woody Guthrie, the Flying Luttenbachers, weird tribal techno, Meat Beat Manifesto, the Dead Kennedys, Bauhaus, some Melvins-esque act called the Barbarians (or something), Kinski and out there metal, punk, garage, and pop. It's like throwing the best indie record store in a blender and coming out splattered with a bunch of new cool shit. I highly recommend hitting their site and streaming a whole new world of great music.

Drive with open doors
In the garage, modify your car. Go to the "Doors" selection to preview the door opening. Once it opens all the way, back out and then quickly X as soon as the menu appears. Your doors should now be stuck wide open. They will close if you select some options, mainly the "Doors" modifications. When you leave the garage, your doors should still be stuck open, and you can drive around with them in this position.
Wrong model number announced
While driving around in the Saleen S302, whenever the cops have a search going on for you listen closely. The police will refer to the S302 as the S281, from the previous model year of the Saleen Mustang.
