rough drawings
I've been trying to develope a technique for storyboarding where I draw rough, but it's clean enough that I don't have to go back and clean it up. This is sort of how I've been drawing. It's really fun, and makes you a lot better at drawing, because you can't "find" the drawing in the clean up, you have to make really strong decisions from the beginning.

Three shadows
I just got a book called "Three Shadows" by Cyril Pedrosa. The story is very heartfelt and the drawings are some of the best I've ever seen. So, I decided to try and draw one of the characters from the book for this weeks model sheet drawing challenge.

I plan on spending 30 weeks on model sheet studies. The first one I did was Obelix. The second one I did was Asterix. This week, I've been doing Roger. My goal has been to spend one week on each character. I've been keeping a little sketchbook as well as doing larger cleaned up drawings. After the 30 weeks, I want to move onto doing some rough animation test on some of the characters I liked the best.

drawing kids, and skinny people is hard. Anytime you have a long skinny shape, it's hard to make it look nice.

Doddle the mole
Here is a really old character from a comic I never finished. If I could find a nice way to ink in photoshop, I would love to do another comic. Inking with a brush is murder on my wrist. Here is a cool photoshop brush.

New sketches
I've been drawing with a larger brush lately. it's a really nice way to simplify because the brush is too big to put any detail.

Wow, this makes drawing easier. It's really hard to force myself not to jump right into the detail, but this is taking so much of the struggle out of drawing. I normally would start with drawing 3, but then I'm working on construction, pose, anatomy, proportion, and line quality all at the same time. This way, I can worry 1st about the pose, then about the construction/anatomy, then about the line quality. If you can't tell, I'm a huge Ben Caldwell fan!

I've been trying to come up with a more methodical aproach to drawing. A way to take some of the frustration out of it. I'm trying to work from more simple shapes and then build up. If I can nail those initial shapes easily the rest of the drawing is much easier almost, dare I say it, enjoyable!

I love to read London's Sun newspaper for red-blooded war coverage. If you think the Washington Times and National Review are unabashedly patriotic, check out the Sun.
The item linked to above points out something that hadn't occurred to me–the effort to capture Saddam was code-named Operation Red Dawn. The Sun notes that "Red Dawn" was the name of a 1984 movie in which Communists invade the United States, but are defeated by a gang of high school students. I haven't seen the movie, or thought about it in many years; but Friday night I was driving home from work listening, as usual, to the Hugh Hewitt show, and Hugh was doing a movie segment with The Unblinking Eye on "guilty pleasure" movies. "Red Dawn" was one of two Patrick Swayze movies on the list, along with "Roadhouse." (Actually, there are three or four Patrick Swayze movies that could easily qualify.)
Could the name be a coincidence? A second telling detail appears to clinch the case:
"Operation Red Dawn may have got its name from a 1984 action movie starring Patrick Swayze. The film, a box office flop, featured a group of students who become guerilla fighters called Wolverines after their town is invaded by communist troops."
As the Sun points out, the two targets of yesterday's raid were named Wolverine 1 and Wolverine 2. Case closed. And for Britons who are unused to our more ferocious predators, and don't follow college football, the Sun explains: "A wolverine is a strong, carnivorous mammal related to the weasel, which lives in the forests of North America, Scandinavia and eastern Europe." Reasonably accurate, but I wouldn't stretch the weasel analogy too far.

Save The Finder, Send a Map!
The title of this post speaks for itself, I think.
Confession: I'm not really the proactive type when it comes to the shows I love getting cancelled. Often times, I let it go and lament in my room alone for the loss.
But today is a different day! Today, I want rise up and be different. And in my search to be a part of something, I found out I REALLY want to SAVE The Finder.
There's this really neat movement you can join if you want to bring Walter back! It's called the Send a Map Event.
It's simple. All you have to do is send a map of where you live to the President of FOX with the words SAVE THE FINDER written on it.
I'm from the Philippines, so I will be sending a map of the Philippines. We watch The Finder here too, Mr. Fox President, and we want Walter back!
You can get more details about where to send the map here: http://keepthefinder.wordpress.com/send-a-map-event-info/
Please help save The Finder.
For those of you who live in the US, you can mail your maps on May 26.
For those who live internationally, like I do, you can definitely send your maps out earlier. The aim of the organizers of this event is that the maps arrive at the same time. More or less. :-)
So, what are you waiting for? Do your part in helping bring The Finder back on the air.

My Answer/Billy Graham
DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I admit I'm a worrier, but I just can't help it. I've always been this way, and no matter what people say to try to reassure me, I still worry about what might happen — not just to me, but to everyone in my family. Are some people just natural worriers? —J.D.
Dear J.D.: Yes, some of us do worry more than most people do. And some of us are exactly the opposite — not worrying about anything and even ignoring obvious dangers.
But neither extreme is healthy or right. The constant worrier is always stressed and never at peace, while the carefree person who ignores life's dangers often ends up making disastrous decisions about their future, or even putting their lives at risk. The Bible wisely says, "The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception" (Proverbs 14:8 ).
The key for someone like you is to learn to trust God for the future, and to commit your worries into His hands. After all, God knows the future, and He has promised to be with us when we turn to Him in faith and trust. As long as we think the future is up to us, we'll always be nervous. But when we understand that our loving God is in control, then we don't need to worry and fret about the future.
Begin by trusting Jesus Christ for the most important reality you (or anyone else) will ever face: your eternal destiny. By faith ask Him to come into your life and save you — and He will. Then ask Him to help you commit your worries into His hands every day. The Bible says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7).

Sedar tak sedar...dah 3 tahun dan aku lepak UM ( 4 thn ar termasuk Asasi)..so, skrg tinggal satu sem with 2 subjects left...and In a few months, i will begin a new era of my life, which i'm still not sure about...heheh..
Anyway, my real plan is, buat Master as soon as i finished my first degree...i got people asking, "nape x nak keje dulu?"...and some of my answers are :-
- "My parents want me to"... See...they wanted me to be a lecturer since i can't be a doctor like my brother and my sis which i can't be because i'm not smart enuff and don't want to be because...because..it just not me...i'm more a nature person which explained why i'm taking Ecology and Biodiversity instead of other majorings (besides the reason that my pointer is not good enuff to take biotech..huhu)
- "Because i want to!"..nowadays, berlambak giler org yg dah ade degree and still menganggur...kalo dlm job advertisement pun, semua nak carik accountant la, engineer la and etc which i'm not...Kalau ade yg pasal biologi pun, nk microbiologist la, biotech la and etc which again, i'm not!...huhu..
- "I'm not ready to work yet"..which is true becoz i don't think i'm mature enuff to face the hectic-working-life and i rather see myself as a student for 3-4 more years to come..heheh
- "Coz aku still x jumpe the love of my life"..people always tells u that u should find ur future husband/wife in university and which i found that statement is BULLSHIT... so, the number four reason is actually...just a sarcastic way ( not sarcastic enuff i guess) to tell those students who believe in this silly superstitious yg biasenye ditanam by their parents that they're kind of...you know...not-really-smart guys (a nicer way to say stupid..hehe)...Skrg maybe x ramai dah pikir camni, but believe me, some still do...huhu...
Mrepek gile aku mrepek dengan ayat-ayat di atas yang di taip mrepek tanpe sedar...so...i better stop ..chioowwzzz..huhu lagik...heheh

A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook message saying she'd fallen prey to the phony Facebook "dislike" button making the rounds. As much as everybody keeps clamoring for a "dislike" button to use in giving the thumbs down to annoying posts, I guess it was just a matter of time before some enterprising spammer/scammer figured out how to trick people with a phony button offer. Click here to get directions from Facebook about how to avoid it, and what to do if you've fallen prey to it. (This link is to Facebook's security page. It's a good idea to "like" it so you'll get security updates in the future).

Ethan Hawke Starring in Low-Budget Sci-Fi Thriller 'Vigilandia'
Ethan Hawke will star in Vigilandia, a futuristic thriller that Blumhouse Productions, Platinum Dunes and Why Not Productions are making for Universal.
James DeMonaco wrote the script and is directing the low-budget movie, which is to begin production Feb. 13.
The logline is being kept under lock and key (for now, anyway).
Vigilandia is the first movie to be made under Blumhouse's first-look deal with the Universal, signed last summer. The shingle, run by Jason Blum, made its name in the horror field with the low-budget Paranormal Activity series as well as Insidious, one of the most profitable movies of 2011.
Blum is producing with Platinum Dunes' Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, who have produced remakes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among others. Sebastien Lemercier exec produces.
PHOTOS: The 10 Least Scary Movies of All Time
Vigilandia is a reunion for Hawke and Blum; the former is starring in Sinister, a Blumhouse-produced thriller being released by Summit this year.
DeMonaco wrote The Negotiator as well as the remake of Assault on Precinct 13. Hawke starred in the latter and starred in DeMonaco's feature directorial debut Little New York (aka Staten Island, New York).
Hawke is repped by CAA while DeMonaco by UTA.

- Working at UPEI
- Conferences
- Panthers
- Give to UPEI
- Apply Now!
Skip to: content
Faculty and staff with concerns about a student's personal, academic, and career paths may contact counselling services to make a referral on the student's behalf.
Obtain the student's UPEI ID number and schedule.
Call Student Affairs and request an appointment with a counsellor (identify personal, academic or career counselling).
An appointment for the student will be made with personal, academic, or career counsellors.
Consider how you can keep the student as involved in the process as possible - the more this becomes their referral, the more likely they are to follow through with counselling.
If the time available for an appointment seems too far off, you have the right to ask to speak to a counsellor about the emergent nature of your referral. Since our counsellors are often in with a client, you may need to leave a message and have them call you back. If this is an emergency that warrants interrupting another client who is also dealing with their own personal distressing issues, you will need to be quite clear about the nature of that emergency.
Are you ok with your conversation with the counsellor disclosing your referral call with the student being referred? A counsellor's obligation to confidentiality is to the client, not the referral source, and since keeping secrets impedes the trust building process it is highly unusual for a counsellor to conceal such information from a client.
Be ready to let go. When you care enough to make a referral, it can be tough to be out of the loop after that about how counselling is going, but in order to preserve confidentiality, the counsellor cannot follow up with you to confirm attendance or tell you how things went.
Counselling services at Student Affairs is intended as a brief intervention. Certain longstanding, chronic personal issues may require longer term care. While we are happy to provide initial response and support, these cases may, in turn be referred to other service providers in the community.

1984 Beyond Software (UK)
by Mike Singleton
Based upon JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Mike Singleton's epic graphic adventure lives up well to its inspiration.
Your quest is to overthrow the evil Witch king Doomdark, who controls the north half of the land of Midnight.
This being said seems to be a simple task. It isn't. You must assume the role of Luxor, the Moonprince who wears the powerful moonring.
You can however control 3 other characters, Morkin (Luxor's Son), Rorthron the Wise and Corleth the Fey.
It may help to read or watch the Lord of the rings saga.
Lords of Midnight is one of the best graphical adventures ever created on our beloved Speccy and quite ahead of it's time.

EUPHORIA PHOTOGRAPHY - WE SHOOT LESS WEDDINGS - MASTERPIECES CANNOT BE MASS PRODUCED. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE ISLE OF SKYE AND THROUGHOUT SCOTLAND.Menu
Old Man of Storr Post-Wedding Shoot With Stefano Chiolo!
22 February 2018
Alex and I had a fantastic time meeting the wonderful Stefano and Sandra of Stefano Chiolo Weddings.
We donned our wedding clothes and headed up to the Old Man of Storr for an adventure in the mountains!
The fantastic duo hail from Germany and were looking for a real couple to take some photographs off while they were enjoying their Scottish holiday.
The weather started off gorgeous - with magical golden light and beautiful scenery. Then, Alex pointed to the hillside and said: "It's going to snow."
Snow? It hailed. It stung. It hurt. We screamed. But the photographs looked amazing!

Morgan defeats Edmunds in N.C. Supreme Court race
The balance of the state Supreme Court shifted to the Democratic majority Tuesday as Mike Morgan defeated incumbent Robert "Bob" Edmunds with 95 percent of precincts reporting.
The incumbent
Edmunds was seeking his third term on the court. Though terms on the state's highest court are eight years, Edmunds, 67, would have to retire before completing his term. North Carolina law sets 72 as the age at which justices much retire. Edmunds, a former member of the N.C. Court of Appeals, also has been a federal and Guilford County prosecutor.
The challenger
Democrat Morgan, 60, has been a Wake County Superior Court judge since 2005. Morgan, a Raleigh resident,was a Wake County District Court judge for the 10 years prior to joining the Superior Court bench. He also was an administrative law judge and held several posts in the state Attorney General's office.
About the office
The Supreme Court of North Carolina has seven members who are elected in non-partisan races. The court has no jury. The justices sit as a full panel, then deliberate among themselves behind closed doors before issuing rulings. The court reviews challenges of state law, especially those contended to be in conflict with the state Constitution. The justices also consider appeals from the lower state courts to determine whether error occurred at trial or in judicial interpretation of the law.
What shaped the race
With the Supreme Court split ideologically, with four Republicans and three Democrats, the race for the one open seat has been seen as key to both parties. Since Republicans gained control of both General Assembly chambers in 2011, and the governor's office in 2013, key pieces of their political and legislative agenda have been challenged in the courts.
Bob Edmunds 45.96%
Mike Morgan 54.04%
2,534 or 2,704 precincts reporting.

Angle Closure Glaucoma and Primary Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that principally affects the elderly and as such does not usually manifest itself in people before their 50s to 60s. There may be a family history of glaucoma but this is not necessarily so.
There are two main kinds of glaucoma: angle closure glaucoma and primary glaucoma. Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma starts quite suddenly, is very painful and causes blurring of vision. If someone has one-sided eye pain with a same-sided headache and blurring of vision in that eye, which perhaps occurs for a day and then stops and occurs again on another day, then it may be evidence that acute angle closure glaucoma is occurring. An eye surgeon can check this eye to confirm the diagnosis of angle closure glaucoma.
Primary glaucoma is chronic, slow and painless. People with this condition often do not notice they have the disease until vision is very badly affected. Peripheral vision is lost early and central vision is lost at the end of the disease. The best way of diagnosing this problem is to have your eye pressure checked and the optic nerve examined when there is any visual loss, to make sure that both are normal. It is sometimes difficult to detect chronic glaucoma early due to its relative lack of symptoms. Anytime that an eye is painful, red and aching, there is always the possibility that there is raised pressure causing glaucoma. If the symptoms persist, they should be reviewed for evaluation by an eye surgeon.
How do we manage glaucoma ?
When a patient has been diagnosed to have raised pressure in the eye, the doctor must determine whether it is due to angle closure glaucoma or chronic glaucoma. If the raised pressure is due to acute angle closure glaucoma, where there is pain and redness, the treatment is to reduce the pressure quickly with medicine and then to proceed as soon as possible to a simple, non-surgical laser therapy to reestablish the appropriate flow of fluid out of the eye. Laser therapy is a well-established procedure and the outcome is now over 90% successful.
In chronic glaucoma and other non-painful causes of raised eye pressure, the surgeon will usually check the visual fields — the peripheral vision of the eye — to determine how severe the glaucoma is. This is the most important test in chronic glaucoma as it indicates how much pressure control the patient needs. Regular, expert visual field checks are compulsory. The surgeon will also look at the optic nerve and the angles of the eye and take the pressure to ensure that the eye is safe and stable.
Eye drops, the main treatment of glaucoma, are used to control intraocular pressure. Should eye drops be insufficient to control intraocular pressure, surgery may be necessary to help fluid flow out of the eye. Surgical treatments often work well and can be performed as a day surgery procedure.
Finally, it must be remembered that glaucoma is a long-term, slowly progressive disease. Damage from glaucoma is permanent. The objective of glaucoma management is to prevent further damage. We cannot reverse the damage that has already happened, hence early diagnosis is critical and strict and careful control is the only solution to long-term success. Well-controlled glaucoma patients retain their vision and live normal and happy lives. Glaucoma is not a blinding disease if managed correctly.

Join recent transplant Joelle Shea as she discovers food in central Pennsylvania for the first time. Get information on the restaurants she tries, as well as recipes and cooking tips.
Do you ever find yourself on the road thinking "I'd love to stop and get a bite to eat , but I have no idea if there are any good spots in this neighborhood." Well, when you are new to the area, you ask that question a lot. Yelp is a website/app that uses your location to help find restaurants, bars, coffee shops, gas stations and more. Yelp is especially useful when you are travelling (or, in my case, exploring a new city).
A "yelper" from Philly recently wrote to me with this question: "I am only coming to Harrisburg for one day and night - where can I get in a run and where should I eat lunch and dinner?"
I'm going to give you my answers, but I'd love to know yours:
Run: I suggested Riverfront Park, since it shows off the beauty of Harrisburg and is easily accessible for someone staying downtown. Since I just ran my first 5K last weekend, I pretty much stick to the flat path right along the river, but it is part of the 20+ mile Capitol Area Greenbelt that "necklaces" the city, if you are up for a challenge.
Lunch: I suggested Jackson House, mostly as a nod to The Husband, who loves their burgers and hoagies. I don't leave Jackson House without eating their pepper shooters (hot peppers stuffed with salami and aged provolone). Yes, please.
Dinner: Should come as no surprise, I recommended Bricco. I think it shows off the best of what Harrisburg has to offer. If going after said run, I'd have a glass of wine or beer with the mushroom and truffle oil pizza!
So, what do you think about my advice? What two restaurants would you recommend someone to if they were coming to town for only one day?
Published in Hungry in Harrisburg: A community blogback to top
I would go to the Vietnamese Garden Restaurant on Reily Street (Midtown Harrisburg) for the best egg rolls in the entire city. I plate of their Chicken Fried Rice and 3 of those egg rolls always leaves me happy.
Mangia Qui for lunch, on nice days you may sit outside and the food is very good.
I agree with Bricco, but Mangia Qui also has great dinner.
Sammy's for dinner -- you can look out and see the capital. It is BYOB though! Best Italian food in the area, hands down.

Players to Watch This Season on the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers have had some good results in their recent games including the 5-2 win against the Pirates in their most recent game. This good performance is attributed to the teamwork of the players where almost every player who is included in the team seems to be performing well. However, the star players of the team have been the main source of inspiration for the Dodgers where particular star players have been performing well consequently encouraging the entire team. Get your discount Dodger tickets today!
One of the Dodgers star players who is really performing well is Hyun-Jin Ryu. In the game against the Pirates Ryu helped the team win with seven strong innings which were the primary factor that helped the Dodgers win. Ryu has been improving steadily since he joined the team and currently it seem that he has been able to understand his weak and strong points consequently utilizing his strengths. Being a left hander means that Ryu plays a vital role and his performance greatly influences the performance of the entire team. He seems like he is going to continue with his fine performance even in the up-coming games and therefore the Dodgers are expected to continue getting positive results.
Another Los Angeles Dodgers star player who has had great influence on the team's performance is Dee Gordon who is the team's second baseman. Even though he had an average performance in the most recent game, Gordon has had good performances in the other games. It can be said that the game against the Pirates did not favor him even if his team won, but his presence on the pitch always gives the entire team motivation to perform well. He has a combination of different skill which makes him stand out and be able to handle his second baseman role effectively. Therefore, judging by the last five games of the Dodgers, it is expected that Gordon will perform better in the coming games and continue to give his best contribution to all the games he plays.
Another star player for the Dodgers who is always an encouragement to the team is Adrian Gonzales who is the team's first baseman. He can be singled out from the entire team as the player who is always very determined of getting good results regardless of how the particular game is going. His primary strong points are his speed and good judgment. He always seems to know what to do at the right time and this has made him amongst the Dodgers fans favorites. He has repaid the faith of the coach by always performing well. Therefore, these are the star players who are currently standing out and help Los Angeles Dodgers get positive results.

LOS ANGELES – The first few moments in the VR headset are filled with coastal views and seaside streets. Then, former LA Galaxy midfielder Nigel de Jong appears and it seems as if he's five feet away, standing on the pitch at StubHub Center–so close you can see the abs under his purple t-shirt. Surrounding you on all sides elsewhere, a bright Los Angeles day and sunbathed grandstands.
That's the view from a Laduma headset loaded with Galaxy content. Produced with Laduma exclusively for the Galaxy, the content is meant to bring fans closer, both in feeling and perceived proximity, to the team.
"We have young players that have great stories, we have older players like Steven Gerrard that are coming here and have a new experience that have amazing stories. And then to be able to tell that story in this way… it's so impressive to me," said LA Galaxy president Chris Klein.
In addition to upcoming headset access provided at Stubhub Center, fans can download the LA Galaxy VR app, launched on Sept. 1. The app (available through iTunes and Google Play) allows viewers to access the 360 degree VR content, including a five-part series, through "all VR platforms," according to a press release. The app allows the team to expand their fan base globally.

"Our aim with the Galaxy was not just to attract new fans in the U.S. It was about bringing fans from all around the world who are maybe not just soccer fans, but fans of just going to LA for a few minutes," said Ben Smith, CEO of Laduma.
With the Laduma content focusing on the players, Galaxy president Chris Klein sees an opportunity to connect with young fans. The five-part series featured on the app includes looks into the lives of Galaxy players Gerard, Ashley Cole, Gyasi Zardes, Jelle Van Damme and Robbie Keane.
"Our sport, more than any other–more than basketball, more than football, more than hockey, more than baseball–is positioned for this next generation. They want to see stuff like this," Klein said.
The headset, with the help of a pair of headphones, completely transports the viewer to another place. To some, that may sound disorienting. But the idea of a new, cutting-edge experience for Galaxy fans is what drew Klein to the project.
"Being able to produce this takes tremendous partnership, a willingness to put ourselves out there and do things that maybe we've never tried before, and that's where a great partner like Leduma comes in to where we can lean on them and their expertise to build off of and make a fantastic product," Klein said.

My husband and I have been actively ttc for over a year now, with several recurrent miscarriages. Today, I have just found out that I am miscarrying, again.
This time we made it further than we ever have with any of the previous pregnancies (4 weeks 3 days) by adding DIM throughout my entire cycle to regulate excess estrogen, and high doses of progesterone (suppositories + oil taken sublingually & on skin). Each and every one of my previous pregnancies has ended around the date of my expected period. If not the day of, a day or two later (I started spotting with this pregnancy on 16dpo and then again on 18dpo, tests getting fainter until negative on 18dpo). I took extra DIM & over 1,000mg of progesterone during the tww and after, yet my levels still began to drop at about 13dpo (adding extra progesterone only stopped the spotting on 16dpo for a day and a half). I could feel the babies starting to detach, as I always do right before a miscarriage. I have tried everything, from supplements to prescription progesterone, and yet my body does not want to give up having periods.
Has anyone else had this issue where their "time of the month" is so relentless, that even high doses of progesterone and regulated estrogen doesn't stop it from coming (and lowering levels on its way)? Can anyone offer advice?

Now some of the nation's leading economists, with solid liberal and academic credentials, are offering a much broader, more principled rationale. Economists like Jeffrey D. Sachs of Harvard and Paul Krugman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say that low-wage plants making clothing and shoes for foreign markets are an essential first step toward modern prosperity in developing countries.
Mr. Sachs, a leading adviser and shock therapist to nations like Bolivia, Russia and Poland, is now working on the toughest cases of all, the economies of sub-Saharan Africa. He is just back from Malawi, where malaria afflicts almost all its 13 million people and AIDS affects 1 in 10; the lake that provided much of the country's nourishment is fished out.
When asked during a recent Harvard panel discussion whether there were too many sweatshops in such places, Mr. Sachs answered facetiously. ''My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops but that there are too few,'' he said.
Mr. Sachs, who has visited low-wage factories around the world, is opposed to child or prisoner labor and other outright abuses. But many nations, he says, have no better hope than plants paying mere subsistence wages. ''Those are precisely the jobs that were the steppingstone for Singapore and Hong Kong,'' he said, ''and those are the jobs that have to come to Africa to get them out of their backbreaking rural poverty.''
Rising Stakes
The stakes in the battle over sweatshops are high and rising. Clinton Administration officials say commerce with the major developing nations like China, Indonesia and Mexico is crucial for America's own continued prosperity. Corporate America's manufacturing investments in developing nations more than tripled in 15 years to $56 billion in 1995 -- not including the vast numbers of plants there that contract with American companies.Continue reading the main story
In matters of trade and commerce, economists like Mr. Sachs, who has also worked with several Government agencies, are influential. A consensus among economists helped persuade President Clinton, who had campaigned against President Bush's plan of lowered restrictions, to ram global and North American trade pacts through Congress.
Paradoxically, economists' support of sweatshops represents a sort of optimism. Until the mid-1980's, few thought that third world nations could graduate to first world status in a lifetime, if ever. ''When I went to graduate school in the early to mid-1970's,'' Mr. Krugman said, ''it looked like being a developed country was really a closed club.'' Only Japan had made a convincing jump within the past century.
Those economists who believed that developing nations could advance often prescribed self-reliance and socialism, warning against foreign investment as a form of imperialism. Advanced nations invested in the developing world largely to extract oil, coffee, bananas and other resources but created few new jobs or industries. Developing nations, trying to lessen their reliance on manufactured imports, tried to bolster domestic industries for the home market. But these protected businesses were often inefficient and the local markets too small to sustain them.
From Wigs to Cars
Then the Four Tigers -- Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan -- began to roar. They made apparel, toys, shoes and, at least in South Korea's case, wigs and false teeth, mostly for export. Within a generation, their national incomes climbed from about 10 percent to 40 percent of American incomes. Singapore welcomed foreign plant owners while South Korea shunned them, building industrial conglomerates of its own. But the first stage of development had one constant. ''It's always sweatshops,'' Mr. Krugman said.
These same nations now export cars and computers, and the economists have revised their views of sweatshops. ''The overwhelming mainstream view among economists is that the growth of this kind of employment is tremendous good news for the world's poor,'' Mr. Krugman said.
Unlike the corporate apologists, economists make no attempt to prettify the sweatshop picture. Mr. Krugman, who writes a column for Slate magazine called ''The Dismal Scientist,'' describes sweatshop owners as ''soulless multinationals and rapacious local entrepreneurs, whose only concern was to take advantage of the profit opportunities offered by cheap labor.'' But even in a nation as corrupt as Indonesia, he says, industrialization has reduced the portion of malnourished children from more than half in 1975 to a third today.
In judging the issue of child labor also, Mr. Krugman is a pragmatist, asking what else is available. It often isn't education. In India, for example, destitute parents sometimes sell their children to Persian Gulf begging syndicates whose bosses mutilate them for a higher take, he says. ''If that is the alternative, it is not so easy to say that children should not be working in factories,'' Mr. Krugman said.
Not that most economists argue for sweatshops at home. The United States, they say, can afford to set much higher labor standards than poor countries -- though Europe's are so high, some say, that high unemployment results.
Labor leaders and politicians who challenge sweatshops abroad say that they harm American workers as well, stealing jobs and lowering wages -- a point that some economists dispute. ''It is especially galling when American workers lose jobs to places where workers are really being exploited,'' said Mark Levinson, chief economist at the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, who argues for trade sanctions to enforce global labor rules.
Yet when corporations voluntarily cut their ties to sweatshops, the victims can be the very same people sweatshop opponents say they want to help. In Honduras, where the legal working age is 14, girls toiled 75 hours a week for the 31-cent hourly minimum to make the Kathie Lee Gifford clothing line for Wal-Mart. When Wal-Mart canceled its contract, the girls lost their jobs and blamed Mrs. Gifford.
No Jobs in Practice
Mr. Krugman blames American self-righteousness, or guilt over Indonesian women and children sewing sneakers at 60 cents an hour. ''A policy of good jobs in principle, but no jobs in practice, might assuage our consciences,'' he said, ''but it is no favor to its alleged beneficiaries.''Continue reading the main story

Pi is a fact and belongs to everyone, even musicians, according to a federal ruling in a recent copyright infringement lawsuit. The lawsuit was between two composers who individually set the mathematical constant pi to music.
Pi is an irrational, infinite number approximated by 3.14159265. Pi represents the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference and shows up as a constant in mathematical equations.
The fascination with pi is not reserved for mathematicians. San Francisco Exploratorium honored the number by declaring Pi Day March 14, which in numerals mirrors the number's first three digits.
The musician's copyright infringement suit was settled on historic Pi Day, when a federal judge tossed the case out. According to the composer who brought the suit, his 1992 "Pi Symphony" was infringed upon when a second composer used the same idea to put together a musical selection on the Internet video-sharing site YouTube.
The music in the "Pi Symphony" was created by matching notes with corresponding pi digits. The notes were then played in the order in which they appear in the mathematical constant.
The complaint charged the video creator with stealing his "pi." The "Pi Symphony" composer also invoked the Digital Millennium Copyright Act with a request to force the second composer to remove his video from YouTube.
The federal judge felt that everyone deserved a piece of "pi" because the pattern of digits in the irrational number is a fact which cannot be copyrighted.
Although the "Pi Symphony" was copyrighted as a whole, the judge said the composer could not stop other musicians from doing what he did to transform the number to music. The ruling did acknowledge that the "Pi Symphony" composer could have charged infringement if another musician had stolen other parts of the work like scale or harmony.
The judge stated that the pi pattern, even translated into music, is not something that can be protected by copyright law. The court decided that the second piece of music posted on YouTube video was not in violation because "protectable" music rights had no similarities to the "Pi Symphony" knockoff.

Cristina PeterMSc
I have especially enjoyed studying alongside people from very diverse backgrounds.
Why did you choose to study at City, University of London?
I was looking for a programme that would complement my financial services experience in business process re-engineering with a deep understanding of systems thinking and quantitative decision support methodologies. The Decision Sciences MSc matched my requirements perfectly.
What do you enjoy most about your course?
The balance between studying rational decision making, covered within the quantitative modules such as Game Theory, Evolutionary Game Theory and Optimisation, contrasted against the emotional non-rational decision making covered in the Agent Based Modelling and Network Science module. This is a unique feature of this course; similar programmes I looked at generally cover only one of the two aspects.
What has been your favourite module and why?
Evolutionary Game Theory has been the most fascinating module for me. It has completely changed the way I analyse situations and assess the impact of strategies. I believe this enhanced perspective will be invaluable.
What has been a highlight of your course so far?
I especially enjoyed studying alongside people from very diverse backgrounds such as physics, banking, engineering, economics, etc. This helped me obtain a deeper, more rounded understanding of the subject.
What do you plan to do after you graduate?
I intend to go back into Financial Services.

There is no reason to depose it unless you want to have a look at. I am afraid now it is more a script to parse a blast xml output and fill a database. For the hmmpfam parser, it is very simple and a little buggy. It only parse file produced by hmmpfam, but you can have a look if you want. I don't have time to make it PEARish.

Could this have been because he spent his life in the Philadelphia area? Whereas Philadelphia might strike some readers as a backwater of sorts, for the first half of the 20th century and a while beyond, it was a very important place so far as illustration was concerned. That was because the Curtis Publishing Company was based there, close by Independence Hall. And Curtis' stable of magazines included Saturday Evening Post and Ladies' Home Journal, each having huge circulation numbers in their day. So being close to this source of work was no handicap for an illustrator.
Coleman's career is outlined here. The source mentions that one of his art instructors was the "difficult" master illustrator Walter Everett, who I last wrote about here. The link also indicates that Coleman drifted away from commercial illustration in the 1940s to producing religious illustrations, murals, and such in the later part of his career. I will deal with his non-religious art here.
One of the earliest works that I could find.
Somehow this seems to have been done a few years later than the date shown where I grabbed this image, but of course I could be wrong.
The date under Coleman's signature block is smudged, but the woman's gown and hairdo push this beyond the 1920s. The vignette format seen here and immediately above and below was popular with art directors in those days. Illustrators probably liked it too, because they didn't have to spend a lot of effort on backgrounds and settings.
Here Coleman is using outlines and drawing rather than creating a traditional painting.
Interesting combination of framed and vignetted art. I'm pretty sure that the white space was used for a headline and / or text in the magazine.
This magazine dealt with sewing crafts, and so had a somewhat different core audience than the Post, Cosmo and such. Coleman seems to have altered his style to deal with this, quite possibly in line with the art director's wishes.
Yet another two-color vignette.
Just because he was transitioning to religious art didn't mean that Coleman was a total prude.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Apr 18:
The harrowing experience undergone by kin of freedom fighter Laxmi Indira Panda has exposed how skin deep is our respect for freedom fighters and their descendantsnts other than merely using them as pawns for political gain.
The joy of being felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a function to commemorate bi-centenary of Paika Rebellion was short-lived for freedom fighter Laxmi Indira Panda's daughter-in-law Sujata Panda and son Surendra Panda as they lost their way at Bhubaneswar railway station and boarded different trains to reach Jeypore, their hometown.
While Surendra Panda and his son had boarded Hirakhand Express, Sujata Panda had boarded Utkal Express and was rescued by a co-passenger Debapriya Samal at Balasore railway station at around 3 am today while she was on the verge of committing suicide after having lost her way.
Co-passenger Samal handed her over to the Government Railway Police (GRP) at Balasore station.
"She had completely lost her mental balance. She was attempting to jump even after I was holding her. She was saying that she didn't have money and had lost contact with her husband and what was the point in remaining alive," said Samal talking to reporters at Balasore railway station.
"Two representatives of Modi government had come to our house to invite us. They had given some money for the onward journey expenses. Though they had promised to give return journey expenses nobody obliged us. I had to arrange Rs 3,000 from a village moneylender on interest prior to setting out for the journey," said Sujata Panda, daughter-in-law of Indian National Army (INA) soldier Laxmi Indira Panda.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has asked officials to arrange for Sujata Panda's return journey to her hometown Jeypore.
"We have contacted her son; he is on his way to Balasore. We will send them to Jeypore through a specially arranged vehicle. One of our officers will accompany them to Jeypore," informed Pramod Das, Collector Balasore.

I've almost lived in Singapore for a year at this point, and I now understand how it is known as the foodie capital of the world. There are so many beloved, iconic dishes; diverse cuisines represented; and delicious foods available from the humblest hawker centre to fine dining establishments.
The most famous dish is chili crab - an enormous crab cooked in thick sweet and spicy gravy. It's such a good dish for sharing, but be prepared with lots of napkins! There are quite a number of popular chili crab restaurants in Singapore, especially along the East Coast.
One of my personal favorite dishes can be found in many food courts and hawker centres. It is called Yong Tau Foo, and it's quite a healthy option to have for a meal. Yong Tau Foo is a bowl of vegetables, various proteins, and sometimes noodles, all boiled in a light and savoury broth. You have the option of picking out all the items you want in your soup, and will be charged per item. I usually like to include seaweed, greens, and eggs. Everything tastes wonderful when dipped into the special chili sauces you can get on the side.
The bakeries here sell pretty ingenious and creative items. My favorite bakery is called Breadtalk. The breads here are baked with lots of milk and butter, with interesting flavors and ingredients. Some of their selections are below: steamed pumpkin cake, tuna stuffed bun, and pork floss roll.
Seafood food is quite abundant, as you can imagine it would be for an island nation, and can be seasoned with lots of strong and spicy ingredients, like this BBQ stingray covered with a thick chili sauce, cooked on a banana leaf, and eaten with lime juice.
A hearty bowl of porridge is a comfort food for many Singaporeans. It's a thick and creamy rice, mixed in with various toppings such as chopped century egg, slices of pork, green onion and chili. You can easily find porridge stalls at most hawker centers for around $3 a bowl. Portions tend to be generous, making for a filling breakfast or supper. There are some pretty good stalls at the Maxwell Hawker Centre.
As a country with a significant Indian population, you can expect to find pretty delicious Indian food here. Little India is an obvious place to find lots of good and cheap restaurants and coffee shops, but there usually will be an Indian stall at most large food courts and hawker centres, serving everything from naan bread to curries and biryani dishes.
One tradition I really enjoy is the traditional breakfast at the local coffeeshop or kopitiam. These small neighborhood eateries serve an interesting mix of eastern and western breakfast foods, including soft boiled eggs with soy sauce, toast with kaya spread, and sometimes noodle or curry dishes. The concept of the coffeeshop has become commercialized, so now there are chains of these shops, removed from the neighborhood and put into modern spaces like shopping malls.
Being a very westernized Asian country, Singapore also offers many European and American-type restaurants and cafes. They tend to be a bit fancier and more expensive. For example, eggs benedict for brunch!
Lastly, there are also many American chains that can be found in Singapore, sometimes offering their own unique twist on the usual offerings! Starbucks sold moon cakes during the mid-Autumn festival. They weren't bad! There are also various green tea type drinks.
As you can see, Singapore has a very unique and diverse food scene. I'll miss it a lot, and I hope you will have a chance to experience it someday!

Personal Contract Hire (PCH)
Individual vehicle hire contracts
This funding method is basically contract hire for the private individual. It is known by most individuals as "leasing a car".
The customer, whilst not owning the vehicle, benefits from Network LeasePlan's buying power to drive down the cost of the monthly rental.
Personal Contract Hire can offer a cheaper alternative to Drivewise (or "Personal Contract Purchase") where the leasing company is benefiting from their purchasing terms with the manufacturer or chosen supplier.
Key customer benefits:
- Network LeasePlan's buying power drives down monthly rental costs
- Fixed monthly rental that can include additional services, such as maintenance – no cashflow fluctuations
- None of the depreciation risks associated with ownership
- The convenience of a full maintenance service, at a fixed monthly cost, is optional
- Road Fund Licence is provided for the full term of the contract.
Personal Contract Purchase for private individuals – Cars Only
One of two funding methods which Network LeasePlan offers for private individuals who may wish to opt out of a company car scheme or would like a car for private use. Drivewise also gives the customer the benefits of leasing a vehicle along with the option to own it if they so desire.
Drivewise enables customers to upgrade to vehicles that might otherwise be unaffordable.
A guaranteed residual value is set by Network LeasePlan at the start of the contract, which gives the customer a number of options by the end, some of which are:
1. Part-exchange the vehicle and use the equity as a deposit for the next vehicle
2. Keep the vehicle by paying the outstanding residual value
3. Keep the vehicle and re-finance the outstanding value over a longer period of time
4. Hand the vehicle back to Network LeasePlan at the end of the contract
Key customer benefits:
- The customer can trade up to an otherwise unaffordable vehicle (e.g. an executive/ sports car)
- Hassle-free and cost-effective way to finance a vehicle
- The convenience of an optional full maintenance service, at a fixed monthly cost, is available.

I miss college freshman teams.
Let me explain to the young. In the old days, every college had a freshman baseball, basketball, and football team. You were not eligible to play varsity until you had completed your freshman year. The idea was an athlete needed time to adjust to college life, be tutored in the basics of his sport, and learn the system of the school he was attending. After what was essentially an apprentice year, the student would have matured, learned, and would be ready.
In 1972, the rules were changed. Colleges were under pressure to cut expenses. The cost of maintaining two separate teams was an obvious place to start. Freshman were declared eligible and freshman college teams went the way of steam powered cars.
I know this is nostalgia, but I miss college freshman teams. I miss students having a chance to learn before we put pressure on them.
Then again, I know we're guilty of the same thing in my world. A person comes to faith in Jesus. Instead of letting them play freshman ball, we throw them right into some spiritually challenging environment – like a room of two-year olds.
The first steps of a new believer are important. They need time to learn a new way of thinking, adjust to a new environment, and be discipled. Most churches I know – including the one I pastor – believe in the sink or swim method.
I know freshman ball will never come back. But maybe followers of Jesus can learn not to throw people in the deep end too fast.

Parents are always looking for ways to strengthen the bonds with their children. One often-overlooked method of accomplishing this is empathy, a way of communicating with your children that helps them to know that you understand their feelings. And since children are always yearning to be heard and understood, it works for both parties. It's easy too, since our children's words and body language tell us a lot about their underlying feelings.
For example, imagine if a 10-year-old girl comes home and starts crying when she sees her mom, saying: "I started to recite my poem for my English class, but I could only remember the first line. I just stood there, and then everyone started to laugh." The mother hugs her and says, "Oh, sweetie, that must have been so embarrassing."Imagine a 15-year-old boy telling his father, "I caught my girlfriend holding hands with Dan (his best friend) today at school." His father replies, "You must have felt so betrayed."
It's simple. You put yourself in your child's shoes. You listen to his or her words and respond to the feelings (emotional meaning) behind the words.
Thanks to the parents who have shared their kid tips with us this week. Send in your favorite tip.
Some of the most precious heart-to-heart talks I have had with my teenagers were late at night after they came home from an evening activity. I would usually wait up for them. They always seemed more eager to talk about their evening activities immediately after they came home; they weren't as talkative the following day. They often opened up during these late-night chats and talked freely about their boyfriends and girlfriends, their hopes and dreams, their fears or whatever was on their minds. I looked forward to these heart-to-heart talks. - R.M., Orem, Utah
My husband and I try to incorporate Montessori ideas into our home, and her sandpaper letters were the inspiration for this idea. My husband bought some alphabet wall decals for our son (20 months). He put them up on one wall in our living room, at our son's eye level. Then my husband bought a set of foam letters and put some Velcro on the backs so that they stick to the wall, each below its corresponding decal. Our son already recognizes a good portion of the alphabet, and I think this idea has a lot to do with that. - M.M., Orlando, Fla.
I read to my children every night, but they always want more. So I purchased a digital voice recorder, and now every time I read a story to them, I record it. I then load it onto my computer and burn it onto a CD. I take a digital photo of the book's cover, print it on a CD label and voila! I have a book on tape. Now they can listen to me read them stories anytime they want, and we are building quite a library. For our last car trip, I loaded the stories onto my iPod for the kids to listen to. It kept them busy for a long time! - Kindra Mendall, Hayward, Calif.
A trick I use to get my daughter to pick up is to challenge her to a "cleanup" race. We race to see whether she can clean up her room faster than I can clean up the kitchen after dinner. - Nancy K., Wilmette, Ill.
A plastic floor mat -- the kind made for a desk chair (available at office-products stores) -- is the perfect thing to place under a highchair in a carpeted dining room. It will protect your carpet from food stains and liquid spills. - S.L., Martinez, Calif.

Release Date: 2009 |
Album Rating: 4.0Not much to say about the album except that it is good. Going to see them live in May so figured I'd review it, I'm surprised it wasn't already.
heard these guys a while back on last.fm radio. i really need to check these guys out, they're one of those bands i've had sitting in the back of my head for a while now.
pos for reminding me.
Almost the perfect band in terms of young technical death metal, but I was very bored when I listened to this.
Digging: Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation
Album Rating: 4.0I had some problems getting into it but it grew on me.
Really man? Your pie chart is literally made from steel, I thought this would be some kiddy shit to you ;)
Album Rating: 4.0lol I'll reword that. I was kind of bored by it at first but then one day I decided to give it another chance and it blew me away. It's one of those albums you have to be in the mood to hear imo
Hmm, that could be my problem as well. Not sure if I'd ever give this another chance though.
Album Rating: 4.0Honestly the only reason I gave it another chance is because I got free tickets to a show they're going to be at.
Haha, so this IS kiddy shit
finally someone reviewed this, great album great review
Album Rating: 3.5good review, good album. but yeah, their best stuff is probably still to come
Album Rating: 2.0Almost the perfect band in terms of young technical death metal, but I was very bored when I listened to this.
Pretty much.
Nice straight-forward review dude.
Album Rating: 2.5agree with wizzy and bloc
I have to check this shit out and download it when i cba.
bloc how is this kiddy shit? as in it's from a young band? because i think it is pretty mature material.
Album Rating: 3.0I liked this a lot more when I first heard it last fall than I do now. It is what it is though, semi-primative thrashy tech death. Also, I'm pretty sure all their shows are free, because I saw them free in some suburb in January.
Good review though.
Album Rating: 4.0Well they are touring with Job For A Cowboy so I'm not sure. I'm really just going for this and Cattle Decapitation. I'm not sure how much my friend paid (if at all) but he can't go, so it's time for me to teach some scene kids a lesson in the art of mosh.
Album Rating: 3.0Haha, nice. Where is the show you're going to?
Album Rating: 4.0May 22nd Lawrence, KS at the Bottleneck.
Album Rating: 3.0Oh damn, Lawrence is a fun town. Never been to the Bottleneck though. Are you a Mac Lethal fan???

Sprint Mobile Gaming Press Conference
Mobile gaming is taking on a whole new attitude this year. With the announcements by Square Enix that they will be releasing all new Final Fantasy content exclusively for mobile phones, it is evident that the attitude of the gaming industry's attitude toward games on cell phones is changing dramatically. Another sign of the changing times and attitudes are the announcements made at the Sprint Press conference and Gamers' Lounge and press conference.
With announcements and lineups from Namco, Glu, Hands On Mobile, EA Mobile, and Motricity, Sprint showed their true commitment to remaining a leader in the industry in quality and quantity of games available. Additionally, they gave members of the media a little surge as Tony Gonzales of the Kansas City Chiefs, Nicole Richie, and Pac-Man helped to make all of the announcements.
The highlights of the press conference included the announcement of Madden '07 on Sprint phones, Super Pac-Man's (which was born out of a phone call from General Manager of Games and Entertainment for Sprint Nextel Jason Ford) reemergence on Sprint's Game Lobby and a partnership with Microsoft to bring ATV Offfoad Fury to mobile gaming.
Also announced today in a partnership with Motricity, Sprint Nextel is going to introduce a new technology first into Namco's Galaga called micro-payments. Mirco-payments will allow incremental improvements in the gaming experience for a very small amount of money. The example that Ford showed us when we sat down in an interview with him just before the event was paying 25 cents to get a double fighter plane from the beginning of the game. When gamers update their game to have this incremental improvement, they will not be competing against other players in the Game Lobby that are not using the micro-payments systems.
For the most part, the Sprint press conference gave several updates to currently known franchises. According to Ford, Sprint's focus for mobile gaming is going to remain on the casual gamer, believing that users of cell phones are more interested in a quick pick-up game as they multitask, rather than relying on the cell games for an immersive experience. Remember to look to Sprint for exciting mobile additions in the near future.

Extended Cooling Off Period!
All purchases made between the 26th of October and the 31st of December can be returned till the 31st of January 2019.
Whether light or dark, top or bottom fermented, wheat or pils, with the Klarstein Brauheld 35 mash kettle self-brewed is done right. Even beginners can easily become home brewmasters, serving refreshing and delicious self-brewed beer! Thanks to four different sizes, everyone can find the kettle suitable for their brewing ideas.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hobby brewer, the Klarstein Brauheld 35 mash kettle provides a simple complete package for preparing home-made beer. Up to 35 litres of liquid or 30 litres of liquid with malt can be boiled in the large stainless steel kettle. A clear control panel with colour display allows you to manually set temperature, cooking time and performance - or you use the novel MemoryBrew system: simply program your four brewing steps - so even with multiple brewing processes, the same results are possible. The heating element with 500 to 2500 watts of power then brings the mash to a boil, optionally between 30 to 140 ° C. To ensure that exactly the right cooking times are met for the individual steps, a minute-precise timer can be set from 1 to 99 minutes for each of the four brewing steps. Of course, the colour display always shows exactly which of the individual steps the Brauheld 35 is currently working on.
The 3-dimensional circulation system of the Klarstein Brauheld 35 beer brewing system is particularly practical, which helps in mashing several times: the MashFlow technology pumps the mash from bottom to top, thus ensuring uniform heating and circulation. The anti-burn circulation provides powerful stirring support by keeping the bottom of the kettle moving steadily.
The removable grain container with sieve insert makes it easy to remove the grains from the wort. The quick coupling system of the circulation pump enables the separation of the pump tubing and drain tap in just a few easy steps. Then the finished mash can be transferred directly to the fermentation tank. All parts are made of 304 stainless steel. As a result, no metal flavours get into the beer, and after use, they can be easily cleaned.
Fresh beer from your own home brewery? Nothing could be easier: with the Klarstein Brauheld 35 mash kettle, every hobby master brewer easily achieves their best original brew.
Please note that in Germany the brewing of beer has to be reported to the relevant main customs office.

It's time for another Austin-area sports medicine 101 class!
Today we're starting a three-part series on how to prep for a race – the day BEFORE the race. Let's jump right into our first few tips:
- Eat Plenty of Carbohydrates – As should have been the case in the days leading up to the run, eat about 65-70% of your calories from carbs. Don't stuff yourself, though (or at dinner the night before) – ingest the same amount of food that you would normally eat.
- Avoid Any Unusual Foods – Stick with foods that have worked well for you before your training runs. If you're eating away from home, make sure the restaurant serves something comparable to your typical training diet.
- Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you're hydrating properly, your urine should be light yellow. You can also have one sports drink, to make sure you're getting some extra electrolytes. Avoid alcohol altogether as it leads to dehydration.
- Don't Overdo It – Stay off your feet, rest and relax. When you go to the race expo to pick up your race packet, don't spend hours walking around, attending clinics, and eating free food samples. Spending too much time on your feet will tire you out, and hanging around big crowds at the expo may get you nervous about your race. When you do need to walk around, make sure you're wearing very comfortable shoes.

This year we will be joining the new high school fall league, and we will all play together as a co-ed team.
Games will be played on Saturday mornings from Sept. 12 through November 7, 2015.
If you are interested in joining, please contact a captain and/or just come to a practice! Everyone is welcome.
This year, we're switching from the TCUL fall league to the recently formed MNYU co-ed high school fall league. Why? We think this it provides better level of play, it takes the pressure off of girls (we don't need to meet a minimum requirement), and we may even get to create two teams, so more boys can get more playing time. Though you sign up individually, they aim to keep MUS players together on a team (or two).
Practices are held Monday-Thursday, 4:00-5:45 at Martin Luther King Park (42nd and Nicollet) starting Wednesday, August 24, 2015. You're welcome to join even if you can't come every day.
Practices are held at Martin Luther King Park. It's an easy 26 minute bus ride from Southwest:
Register with MNYU for the High School Fall League ($15).
