Red Sox - 000 010 000 - 1 5 0Alternate headline: Buchholz Fantastic; Francona Getting Dumber
Rays - 000 000 02x - 2 3 0
A team that scores one run in nine innings will not win too many games, but it looked like it might be enough for the Red Sox on Saturday.
Buchholz had pitched seven innings of one-hit ball, with eight strikeouts. He had retired 19 of the last 20 Rays hitters and only one of those outs left the infield. But he was at 94 pitches. And MDC, Jeemer and Papelbot were ready in the pen.
Francona sent Clay out for another inning. Why? What's the point?
Buchholz struck out the first hitter, allowed a single to right and got a fly ball to center. But Iwamura crushed a 1-1 pitch to deep right field -- it was Clay's 110th pitch -- and the Rays had two runs.
And that was that. Buchholz finished with a wonderful 8-3-2-2-9 line, but Tito should have been satisfied with 7-1-0-2-7.
Remember that Red Sox management was so concerned about Buchholz's shoulder that Theo ordered Tito to remove him from his no-hitter last September if he reached 120 pitches? He threw 113 today. Against Tampa Bay in late April.
With or without your top three bullpen arms rested and ready, that decision defies common sense.
Is there something in the air in the Trop wreaking havoc with Francona's mind? Does he hallucinate when he hears a cowbell? ... He has not been himself these last two nights.
Clay Buchholz (4.79, 95 ERA+) / Edwin Jackson (4.63, 94 ERA+)
Amalie Benjamin, Globe:
Brandon Moss has joined the Red Sox in Tampa, and the corresponding move might be a trip to the DL for Sean Casey. ... David Ortiz was in the original Red Sox lineup, but a second lineup has been posted, and Ortiz has been scratched.Buchholz:Ellsbury, RF
Pedroia, 2B
Drew, DH
Ramirez, LF
Youkilis, 1B
Crisp, CF
Varitek, C
Lowrie, 3B
Lugo, SS
The thing I noticed with the Yankees, the first time I faced them, the first time through the lineup they were getting a feel for pitches I threw and the second time they saw me, that's when everybody started swinging. For the most part, teams I've pitched against this year have been basically the same way - they get a feel for pitches I throw the first time through, try to work you deep in the count. Next time they try to sit on a pitch and if they get it they're going to swing. I think [that] helps any pitcher.Justin Masterson is the first Jamaican-born pitcher to appear in the majors (his parents were missionaries). He is also "the first Sox starter to allow two or fewer hits while lasting at least six innings in a major league debut since Billy Rohr's complete-game one-hitter at Yankee Stadium on April 14, 1967".
The Yankees (with Ian Kennedy and his 9.64 ERA and 2.29 WHIP) play in Bugland at 4 PM.

Use the PrimePCR lookup tool to find assays and panels for your genes of interest.
Launch PrimePCR Lookup Tool
Bio-Rad collaborated with Biogazelle, leaders in real-time PCR research, to design and experimentally validate PCR primers for gene expression assays across the human and mouse transcriptomes. All PCR primers were designed to meet stringent performance standards following the MIQE guidelines (minimum information for publication of quantitative real-time PCR experiments; Bustin et al. 2009).
Assay Performance Standards
These DNA primer pairs were designed by prioritizing the gene regions most commonly found in transcript variants. Strict design criteria were used to ensure optimal real-time PCR results for each target:
Every PCR primer pair was experimentally validated using Bio-Rad's iScript™ advanced cDNA synthesis kit and SsoAdvanced™ SYBR® Green supermix. PrimePCR assay design and validation are fully described in the following publication.
PrimePCR Assays: Meeting the MIQE Guidelines by Full Wet-lab Validation
Thomson Reuters provided interactive pathway maps for 260 canonical pathways. Each pathway belongs to one or more general biological categories such as cancer. The pathway maps illustrate protein interactions and regulation to provide a comprehensive picture of signaling and disease processes. The selected pathways were used to design panels of real-time PCR primers tailored for the top-ranked genes for differential gene expression analysis. Each gene target within a pathway was assigned a score based on the frequency of differential expression and its research significance. The resulting scores were used to select the assays included in the corresponding real-time PCR pathway panel.
PrimePCR Pathway Analysis: Pathway Curation and Real-Time PCR Panel Design Strategy
Control assays and synthetic DNA templates were designed to facilitate the assessment of the key experimental factors impacting your real-time PCR results.
DNA Contamination Control AssayUse the PrimePCR DNA contamination control assay to determine if genomic DNA (gDNA) is present in a sample at a level that may affect PCR results. This assay may also be used to compare relative levels of gDNA contamination present in different samples to determine if PCR results may be affected.
Positive PCR Control AssayUse the PrimePCR positive control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of a PCR reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of PCR reactions associated with different samples.
RNA Quality AssayUse the PrimePCR RNA quality assay to determine if RNA integrity may adversely affect PCR results for a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare relative RNA integrity among different samples to determine how PCR results might be affected.
Reverse Transcription Control AssayUse the PrimePCR reverse transcription control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of the reverse transcription reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of the reverse transcription reactions associated with different samples.
Reference Gene AssaysReference genes are used in relative gene expression analysis to normalize for variation in the amount of input messenger RNA (mRNA) among samples. To ensure accurate quantitation, it is important to include one or more reference genes exhibiting constant expression levels under the experimental conditions. To streamline reference gene selection, we offer PCR primers for a set of commonly used reference genes that can be used individually, easily screened using our preplated 96-well and 384-well reference panels or added to custom-designed plates.

Flax and Sunflower Seed Whole Wheat Bread
There were two key elements to the bread making process in this book. One of those was the baking method which I'll explain more below, and the other was the goal of achieving a not so sour taste in the bread by only using a scant tablespoon of the mature starter when making the leaven. The night before the dough was to be made, one tablespoon of starter was mixed with warm water and white and whole wheat flours and left at room temperature until the next morning. For whole wheat dough, the leaven was then added to more warm water, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour, and it was mixed and left to rest for about an hour. Robertson explains that a whole wheat dough requires a longer rest after mixing that a white flour dough. After resting, salt was added, the dough was transferred to a clean bowl for the three hour bulk fermentation, and it was left until the turning began. Every 30 minutes, the dough was folded or "turned." For the flax and sunflower seed bread variation, one cup of sunflower seeds was toasted, and one cup of flax seeds was soaked in boiling water. I would have expected the seeds to be added with the salt before the bulk fermentation began, but instead they were added after the second turn or one hour into it. Now, soaking the flax seeds causes them to become a little sticky and mixing all those little seeds into the dough takes a bit of squeezing and folding and mixing by hand. That seemed like a lot of working of the dough at that point of the bulk fermentation, so I may try adding them earlier next time. The next steps involved dividing the dough in two and giving both pieces a bench rest, and then each piece was shaped into a boule, rolled in one cup of raw sunflower seeds, and placed in bowls lined with towels that had been coated with all-purpose and rice flour for the final rise. I placed mine in the refrigerator for about twelve hours before baking. And, the baking involved that other interesting technique I mentioned. Rather than introducing steam in the oven with a spray bottle of water or by pouring water into a pan placed on the oven floor, a cast iron pan with a lid was used. The pan was heated in the oven with its lid, the dough was placed in the hot pan and carefully slashed, the lid was placed on top, and the bread began baking at 450 degrees F. After 20 minutes, the lid was removed, and the bread finished baking.
Because this was a rather wet dough, the lidded cast iron pan captured all the steam escaping from the dough as the bread baked and resulted in a crackly, crisp crust. My only disappointment was the lack of the open, holey crumb that I saw in other breads in the book. I suspect that was due to the bread being dense with seeds and the working of the dough in getting those seeds into it. Still, it was a nutty, flavorful bread that worked perfectly for sandwiches or simply toasted and slathered with butter. Now, I have more bread to bake so I can turn back to that last chapter of the book with all those ways of using it.
I'm submitting this to Yeastspotting where you'll find some seriously well-made bread.

Such a gorgeous bread, I love the sunflower seeds here!ReplyDelete
Lovely loaf! I'm still trying to get French bread shaped to my liking but this looks like a good one to try when I move on. I like the addition of the seeds. I haven't yet achieved a very holely crumb either. I'm wondering if it also has something to do with the wheat flour. I read that Tartine has their flour ground to their specifications. I wonder if the wheat flour they use is much finer? I used King Arthur's wheat flour. Have you tried Richardson's Farms flours?ReplyDelete
Shelley: I've had luck once with a very holey crumb. The flour could be the culprit, but I think it has a lot to do with not working the dough and the water content. I always use King Arthur. I haven't tried Richardson's, but I think I've heard it's somewhat coarse.ReplyDelete
The recipes I've seen for sourdough starters say to feed it at the same time every day, but I'm worried that my schedule will make that extremely difficult. Would it ruin the starter to feed it on a 24 hour cycle *most* of the time, but occasionally go off schedule, for example feed it in the evening instead of the morning?ReplyDelete
Matt: I only feed my starter once a week or the day before I plan to use it. I store it in the refrigerator between feedings, remove it and let it come to room temperature, feed it, let it sit at room temperature for about 24 hours, then put it back in the refrigerator if I'm not using it that day. You can definitely arrange a feeding schedule to whichever days and times you choose!ReplyDelete
my bakery makes a poppy, flax, and sunflower seed bread that ROCKS my world. this looks like a winner too!ReplyDelete
I always find bread making tricky.Your post certainly solved some of the confusions.Love the color of crust from baking.ReplyDelete
you make some seriously amazing bread! If you decided to open a bakery you would be sold out every day! Love that bread and the crust is amazing~ReplyDelete
How you tempt us with a shot of the slice covered in butter! My mouth started watering instantly! :DReplyDelete
Love this artisan bread. THis looks really super, perfect crumb and crust.ReplyDelete
I bought that book months ago and just feel like I don't have the brain space to sit down and digest all that is in there. It is such a beautiful book though - I need to set aside some bread time. Gorgeous as always, Lisa!ReplyDelete
Whenever I'm in the store, I always reach for the loaf that's covered in seeds. I just love the texture and crunch they add. One of my fave kinds of bread.ReplyDelete
The bread looks really wonderful.ReplyDelete

I love, love, love Tartine bread. I think some of their other bakery items are hit or miss, but the bread is so good! Baking the bread in cast iron is such a great idea...Your seeded bread looks amazing.ReplyDelete
It's gorgeous, I'm so impressed! The first picture with the melting butter is making my mouth water :)ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous bread with all those sunflower seeds! The way it's baked reminds me of the NY Times no-knead bread.

Plaster Casts
This is an excellent way to refine drawing skills, especially the close observation of light and shade on form. As an added benefit, you get to feast your eyes on the timeless beauty of master sculptures.
Here's a plaster cast of Michelangelo's Moses from London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
Plaster casts can be either gigantic full figure replicas or smaller pieces. These affordable casts of individual facial features are based on Michelangelo's David.
Most art schools once had large plaster cast collections, but many destroyed them in the wanton orgy of iconoclasm of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The cast collection belonging to Vassar College in New York State (seen intact above) was a typical sad story. The director of the Art program, Agnes Clafin, ordered the destruction of the collection in the 1940s arguing that casts were no longer useful in teaching, and that "this was a time to innovate, to bring Vassar up to speed." Only a few casts at Vassar escaped annihilation.
But fortunately there are still several museums and schools that held onto their plaster cast collections. Many will allow artists to draw from them, but the limitation is often the lighting. Typically, museum lighting uses multiple light sources, which makes the study of form and chiaroscuro rather confusing. If you're drawing a cast that's lit by multiple light sources, it's best not to bother copying tones and to study the lines and shapes instead.
Intact collections

Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Missouri in Columbia

I studied at the Art Students League in New York and we had a few casts.
We had one that was rescued from the Metropolitan Museum of Art which also destroyed it's collection.
We had a full size cast of Donatello's David as well as closet full of smaller ones.
They were invaluable in learning how to paint values and drawing.
I have two paintings on my blog, one of Michelangelo's Day, and the other a studio painting with David, the model and Dante.

Jeff, nice cast study on your blog. I noticed you're a Frank Mason student, and I should mention that he'll be appearing with some of his work (and his students) in a show at the Arlington Art Gallery in Poughkeepsie this Saturday Sept. 20.

Thanks for the list.
This has to do with one of your older posts, but last night I was walking through the trees under a full moon and I noticed the greenish bluish glow everywhere. Maybe moonlight is blue because you see the way the light reflects off the leaves, similar to the way clouds are sometimes orange at night because they reflect street lights. I think it is also bluish during the winter though.

I'd really like to know where the schools purchased these plaster casts. Was there a company that supplied the in the states or were they shipped from Europe? Or was this somehow put together through private and permanent collections?

- David Still said...
I study at Atelier Stockholm, which is a classical realist atelier. We start (like many other ateliers today) by copying lithographs by Charles Bargue, before moving on to cast studies. The school owns many casts, but we're also allowed to borrow old casts from the Royal Academy of Art, who, maybe not so surprisingly, do not use them. One of them is the very cast that Anders Zorn drew when we was a student.

- Steven K said...
The same thing happened at San Jose State and at Yale. Somehow the cast collection at UC Berkeley (?) has survived.
The destruction of the cast collections has had a more detrimental impact than most people are aware. Even when schools include cast drawing, they often treat the cast simply as an element of still life. The great academies used the casts to teach their students the fundamentals of life drawing - editing, design, form, lines of beauty, planes, etc. - and most of all, clarity and simplification, before confronting the human figure in all of its complexity. I've seen this approach more in recent Russian and Chinese academies than in the American or European schools.
No one has ever explained to me the difference between destroying casts to prevent students from drawing them and burning books to prevent people from reading them. Where was the outrage?
There should be a special ring in Hell for Agnes Claflin and the rest of the Moderns. The same thing happened at San Jose State and Yale, among other institutions.

I'm always promoting the use of casts to anyone who'll listen. While at RISD, we had a few, but not as many as I would've hoped. My favorite was the life-size écorché by Houdon that seems to be pretty popular.
Also, thanks to a school year in Italy, I was privileged enough to draw both of the aforementioned sculptures by Michelangelo from life. Nothing beats the original.

Thank you James.
I forgot to mention that the ASL in New York still has all the casts we used.
The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia has a pretty good collection of casts.
One of a flayed arm that Eakins made.
They also have to my knowledge one of the only drawing studios for large animals and small. It's a large barn like drawing studio built to accommodate animals.

- James Gurney said...
These are all fascinating stories--thanks to all of you. I forgot to mention that you can sketch great original statues at the Metropolitan Museum and other places, but there's still usually the problem with lighting.
Jeff--you raise a very important point about animal drawing. That's a subject that should be taught at every art school, with animal skeletons, anatomy study, and live sketching. Very few schools in the USA cover it (San Francisco Academy of the Art is an exception), but any student working in animation industry absolutely needs to be comfortable with drawing all kinds of animals.

This is very cool! I actually used to work at Skylight Studios/Giust Gallery during my summer vacations in high school under the extremely skillful Robert Shure. If you are near Woburn Ma you should check them out. My grandfather was actually a caster who worked with him that's how I was fortunate enough to get the job. But now because of your post I definitely think I will see if I can head back over there to try drawing some of their pieces.

We have access to the cast collection at UC BErkeley, which is hidden away in the basement of a warehouse amongst the building's steam fittings! At least it's warm. We have been trying to snag them as a loan as they are about to become homeless.

Lighting is indeed a problem. The Victoria and Albert Museum collection is wonderful, but very poorly lit for drawing purposes.
However, the National Portrait Gallery in London, around the corner from the National, has some nice busts, several of which are very nicely lit for drawing - more by accident than by design though I think.
I've had some success picking up reconstituted marble casts from Ebay. The budget option :)

I've drawn in the cast courts at the V&A (they do a very nice line in folding sketching stools if you know where to ask!). The main problem I find is being able to find a spot where you can sit at a reasonable distance - they've crammed an awful lot in!

steven K-
Are you a San Jose State alum? I'm a student there now, and the lack of casts of any kind (even the basic heads or facial features) is kind of sad. We just drew pipes, cans and other "debris" in drawing classes.

Thank you James for this post.
In my country (Belgium) I experienced a lot of difficulties finding a plaster cast. Some of the academies I contacted told me they destroyed most of their plaster casts in the seventies, and apparently the remaining casts are very little used. Then somebody told me about the "Plaster Cast Workshop", which is part of the Belgian Royal Musea for Art and History here in Brussels.
The Plaster Cast Workshop was founded in the 19th century and has build up a collection of 4.000 mouldings to make plaster casts, using traditional techniques. They have a huge collection of several hundreds of casts (small and big) that are permanently on display. Small plaster casts can be bought immediately when available, whereas larger pieces can be ordered. Access to the workshop is free, and upon request a guided tour can be reserved. But there's always somebody prepared to give you a tour and tell you about the workshop's history and the techniques they use.
The Plaster Cast Workshop truly is a unique place, and impresses me each time I visit it. It plays a crucial role in preserving our culture and history. Last year, I bought a small plaster cast of a satyr's head, it's about 30 cm high and I regularly draw from it, under different lighting conditions. This is real fun and perfects my drawing skills. But studying the cast has also taught me to appreciate the skills of the artist who carved the original stature.

Thank you for your blog James, and keep up the good work!

I am not an alum, but years ago I worked the graveyard shift in order to take figure drawing classes with Maynard Dixon Stewart. Just in the nick of time, too - Stewart retired from San Jose State the semester after I studied with him. A great, great teacher.
As James has noted, Bunny Carter has done great things with the Illustration program there.

The National Museum of antiquities in Leiden, the Netherlands still has a collection of them too, they're currently on exhibition until November 16th 2008.
Its not visible on the English version of the exhibition page but they actually have some drawing workshops at the exhibition. :-)

Great post!
I'd like to add that my old art school, the Pennsylavania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, has an extensive and historic collection of beautifully lit casts. Drawing in the cast hall was a popular past-time, and indeed it was a mandatory part of the curriculum. Although I used to groan about how boring the hours of cast drawing were, they were enormously educational and helpful!
Now I only wish I had some casts for my beginning drawing students to work from because unfortunately I am not teaching at PAFA! Thanks for all the helpful information!

I wish they would send ME some casts before destroying their collections. I live in South Africa, where apparently, neither classical art training, nor even the equipment used in the training, such as plaster casts, are available. Some time ago I visited the art department at the University of Pretoria to inquire about where I might find such casts. All the learned lecturers in visual art there looked at me like I was from Mars. It turned out they had never in their lives even heard of the concept of cast drawing, let alone had any idea at all where one might get such casts or why anyone would want any. One can of course order them online, but because of an unfavourable exchange rate, they are monstrously expensive to someone on my salary. That an art school would not only get rid of its collection of casts, but actually destroy them, strikes me as frankly scandalous, an act of vandalism. Incidentally, while on my visit to the university's art department, I got to see their studio, where some senior art students where working on their, er, "art" projects. If you ask me, they can all do with a bit of humble cast drawing...

Since 1979 with the Pennsylvania Academy's collection of plaster casts I have been restoring and working with antique plaster casts. Some years ago I sculpted some twice life-size anatomical studies. Copies of both the life-size Houdon L'Ecorche and it's smaller brother (29" version) are available from my website. I have Caudron's dynamic L'Ecorche figure as well. I sell the works in resin since it is more durable than plaster.
Please feel free to visit the website or contact me.

Recent revelations of the suicide of a teenager placed in "the hole " – solitary confinement [see http://www.ccjrnh.org/outside_articles/criminal_justice_systems_dark_secret%3A_teenagers_solitary_confinement] are drawing attention to use and misuse of this type of punishment. The "dark secret" is darker. Inmates are too often subjected to solitary confinement for ordinary infractions of internal prison rules. "Inhumane" not only has to do with the nature of the punishment – 23 hours a day in solitary lock-up with no radio or TV, access to few publications, if any, and no ordinary "amenities" (including small personal possessions) - but also with the length of stay in solitary.
WASHINGTON — Zero Dark Thirty, a nominee for Sunday's Oscar as best picture, reignited debate about whether the waterboarding of terrorism suspects in U.S. custody was torture. This practice, which ended in 2003, was used on only three suspects. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of American prison inmates are kept in protracted solitary confinement that arguably constitutes torture and probably violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments."
Noting that half of all American prison suicides are committed by prisoners held in isolation, Senator Richard Durbin has prompted an independent assessment of solitary confinement in federal prisons. State prisons are equally vulnerable to Eighth Amendment challenges concerning whether inmates are subjected to "substantial risk of serious harm."
America, with 5% of the world's population, has 25% of its prisoners. Mass incarceration, which means a perpetual crisis of prisoners re-entering society, has generated understanding of solitary confinement's consequences when used as a long-term condition for an estimated 25,000 inmates in federal and state supermax prisons — and perhaps 80,000 others in isolation sections within regular prisons. Clearly, solitary confinement involves much more than the isolation of incorrigibly violent individuals for the protection of other inmates or prison personnel.
American federal law on torture prohibits conduct "specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering." And "severe" physical pain is not limited to "excruciating or agonizing" pain, or pain "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily functions, or even death." The severe mental suffering from prolonged solitary confinement puts the confined at risk of brain impairment.
Supermax prisons isolate inmates from social contact. Often prisoners are in their cells, sometimes smaller than 8 feet by 12 feet, 23 hours a day, released only for a shower or exercise in a small fenced-in outdoor space. Isolation changes the way the brain works, often making individuals more impulsive, less able to control themselves. The mental pain of solitary confinement is crippling: Brain studies reveal durable impairments and abnormalities in individuals denied social interaction. Plainly put, prisoners often lose their minds.
The first supermax began functioning in Marion, Ill., in 1983. By the beginning of this century, there were more than 60 around the United States, and solitary-confinement facilities were in most maximum-security prisons. In an article ("Hellhole") in the March 30, 2009, edition of The New Yorker, Atul Gawande, a surgeon who writes on public-health issues, noted, "One of the paradoxes of solitary confinement is that, as starved as people become for companionship, the experience typically leaves them unfit for social interaction." And those who are most incapacitated by solitary confinement are forced to remain in it because they have been rendered unfit for "the highly social world of mainline prison or free society." Last year, The New York Times reported that of the prisoners sent to solitary confinement in California's Pelican Bay prison because of gang affiliation, "248 have been there for 5 to 10 years; 218 for 10 to 20 years; and 90 for 20 years or more."
Two centuries ago, solitary confinement was considered a humane reform, promoting reflection, repentance — penitence; hence penitentiaries — and rehabilitation. Quakerism influenced the design of Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, which opened in 1829 with a regime of strict solitude. In 1842, Charles Dickens visited it:
"I hold this slow and daily tampering with the mysteries of the brain, to be immeasurably worse than any torture of the body: and because its ghastly signs and tokens are not so palpable to the eye and sense of touch as scars upon the flesh; because its wounds are not upon the surface, and it extorts few cries that human ears can hear; therefore I the more denounce it, as a secret punishment which slumbering humanity is not roused up to stay."
In 1890, the U.S. Supreme Court said of solitary confinement essentially what Dickens had said: "A considerable number of the prisoners fell, after even a short confinement, into a [semi-conscious] condition, from which it was next to impossible to arouse them, and others became violently insane; others, still, committed suicide." Americans should be roused against this by decency — and prudence.
Mass incarceration is expensive (California spends almost twice as much on prisons as on universities) and solitary confinement costs, on average, three times as much per inmate as in normal prisons. And remember: Most persons now in solitary confinement will someday be back on America's streets, some of them rendered psychotic by what are called "correctional" institutions.

Homeopathic remedies are associated with a detailed list of symptoms sometimes called a " symptom picture." These lists are developed through provings (more formally called homeopathic pathogenic trials). Originally, provings were conducted in the following manner: Individuals were given progressively higher doses of a substance until they developed toxic symptoms, and all their symptoms were recorded. Symptoms experienced in common by several individuals became part of the symptom picture associated with that substance, and a homeopathic version of the same material was used to treat that symptom picture. (More recently, ultra-high dilutions of the material are used, in the belief that they will produce similar symptoms, at least temporarily. While this is clearly much safer, as ultra-high dilution homeopathics do not contain even a single molecule of the original toxic substance, not all homeopaths agree that this altered method is appropriate.)
Some of these symptom pictures are extremely detailed, and may include, besides physical symptoms, details of psychology and lifestyle. According to homeopathic theory, the better the overall "fit" between a person and a remedy's symptom picture, the better the remedy should work.
For example, the homeopathic remedy Sulfur is said to be useful for people who have red lips, stooped posture, and a tendency toward untidiness in personal affairs. A small selection of other traditional characteristics of this remedy include mid-morning hunger, and a tendency for increased discomfort of whatever physical symptoms they may be experiencing after exposure to cold air or motion and between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.
To be scientifically rigorous, the provings that lead to these symptom pictures should be double-blind and placebo-controlled. Otherwise, participants are likely to experience symptoms simply because they expect to, and observers will tend to observe the expected symptom picture as well. Unfortunately, few of the provings used to define the treatments chosen by homeopaths were performed in a scientifically reliable way.1 A well-designed trial found that when provings were performed under rigorous conditions, the observed symptoms fell all over the map, rather than falling in any kind of consistent pattern.2 In addition, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 253 people attempted a rigorous proving of homeopathic Belladonna (30C), but found that there were no symptoms consistently associated with use of the remedy.3

Not The Way It Used To Be
It used to mean something to say you were a professional basketball player playing in the city of Boston. Now it seems to carry the same allure as going to play in Montana. It used to be an honor to wear that "Celtics" jersey across your chest. They had 16 banners in the league's first 30 years. But that was a lifetime ago, 25 years to be exact. It doesn't work like that anymore. And frankly, it sucks.
As my esteemed fellow-writer Karl Dillinger has said many times, sports are meant to be fun and anyone who takes them too seriously should be ashamed (paraphrasing Karl). But I can't stress enough just how much of a blow it is to the Celtics and their legacy that Chris Paul was acquired by the enemy of all teams today.
for a reprieve. For another chance at glory. That opportunity has officially passed the Celtics.
When Len Bias was drafted by the Celtics, a big smile lit up his face. He was going to the winningest franchise in the league. It didn't matter that Boston was a predominantly white city in the northeast. Celtic Pride was all that mattered.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the Celtics won 13 titles in the first 35 years of the league and have proceeded to win 3 during the next 28 years with David Stern in charge. Stern's made the league better in many ways but he's undeniably taken the meaning of franchise relevance out of the game. Free agency-galore, players deciding where they will or won't play, who they will or won't be traded for, or where they will or won't sign extensions is absolutely ludicrous. The inmates have officially taken over and are starting to run the asylum.
This lockout was supposed to change things. Give teams an even chance of being successful. Eliminate the albatross contracts. Chris Paul just forced a trade to the Lakers. Mike Dunleavy Jr signed a multi-year guaranteed contract. Tyson Chandler just got $58 million for 4 years. Do those sound like changes? They don't to me. It sounds like the same bullshit that's been going on forever.
Chris Paul oughta be awfully ashamed with himself. Did he know how much the Celtics wanted him? Did he know how Danny Ainge was planning on scheduling a physical for him in Boston because he thought he was on his way? Did he know the Celtics are hanging on by the slimmest of margins as being the team with the most NBA championships? Did he know that the Celtics would have a cap room next year to lure another big free agent? Did he know what it's like to be revered in a city like Boston? Maybe he didn't think of it. Maybe Boston is too cold. Maybe the Celtics legacy is irrelevant.
In closing I do think this gesture undoubtedly means that Ray Allen should get his jersey retired. He accepted a trade to Boston when no one would. Nobody. He convinced Garnett, who in turn convinced Rasheed, Shaq and Jermaine to follow over the years. It'll be a cold day in hell before I watch another basketball game. My passion for following the Celtics and the NBA is done. The life was sucked out of me big time when this happened. But today's the final straw. Call me a sore loser if you want but I'm walking away as a Celtics' fan at the best time possible: the last year they can be considered the greatest franchise in NBA history. So pick up your cape DH-12 and go fly away, leaving Magic fans to groan again. Go to La-La land with CP3 and go have Bean win a few more rings so he can pass MJ allowing more idiots to claim he's the greatest ever. Celtics fans, hang in there and hope that Keyon Dooling or Reggie Evans will make the slightest bit of fucking difference. Because honestly, I stopped giving a shit about NBA basketball at the start of this article.

Industrial cooperation
Back in 2010, an unfortunate sequence of events caused another small Prague-based independent game development studio to shut down. Suddenly we had the opportunity to hire several senior people in one swoop, basically a nucleus of a very talented development team. It would be a pity to miss such an opportunity, but we knew we just could not afford growing our head count at the time. The higher monthly burn-rate just wasn't in line with our revenues, and looking at where the extrapolated lines on the cash flow graph were intersecting, it was clear that we wouldn't be able to sustain so many people until the end of ETS2 project, even if a few extra programmers and artists could possibly speed up its development.
As we were scratching our heads on how to have our cake and eat it too, we came up with an idea: let's take a risk and do an experiment to pursue smaller opportunities - try to produce limited-scope projects next to the opus magnum of Euro Truck Simulator 2 project. Basically the goal was to explore additional aspects of the truck driving phenomenon, build smaller games quickly in a few months, and try to see if they can bring back the investment as fast and hopefully even indirectly help the progress of ETS 2.
This was the road which has led to creation of Trucks & Trailers. This project turned out to be a success - new 3D models were built that ETS2 benefited from, new engine effects were created for T&T which ETS2 immediately took advantage of, we could spend more time on AI now that multiple projects benefited from it, and both teams were providing each other with inspiration. And almost as a side effect, a little application which could help wannabe truck drivers get some insight into trailer maneuvering was born. Last but not least, the accounting books looked a bit better with another game providing helpful revenue.
As we were getting close to release of Trucks & Trailers, a very exciting opportunity appeared in front of us, in the form of close cooperation with a leading truck manufacturer. We did not think twice about it, this was a chance to learn from the "big boys" and of course a chance to bring our game to wider audience than just our loyal but not so numerous fan base. We also knew that this time we could aim higher and be more ambitious about the feature set of this project, we were sure we could build something that more of you would find worth playing.
Here we are some half a year later, with an almost finished game.. Stay tuned!

i think i know which manufacture it is; it's scania isn't itReplyDelete
you might think why have i come to such idea ,well the real name scania was in trucks and trailers no other company was and when we received the news that you received a test driver from scania and then they let you use one of their trucks and you showed us the scania demo center
so that's the most likely "leading manufacture" scs is talking aboutReplies

That's good to know, that small projects that make great effect, in addition you can earn an extra income in order to cover the budgets of the company, too, always to make something of this little game to apply in larger games.ReplyDelete
Now I had two little ideas that might improve this game
1) Create an account. Like, you create a website for registration, then I'll do it register and download the game, then I'll want to play it, then I see entering the game, but before you see the main page of the game, put a login page, I put a name and password, then this is just enjoy the game. The advantage is, so I can access my account of the game on any other computer, so no need to start a career from scratch, just download the game, making it much easier our lives.
2) About a month before the premiere, making the site a lot www.scssoft.com, I make an application to test the game before launch to the world, like there are at most 30, 40 drawn in order to test the game, i tested it for a while like, a week, some days, so the game to prevent the mistakes that some times the SCS team did not notice this error, so every day for example, send notes about the game , type errors in the game, some bug's.
They are two things that would be very effective for this game and know the staff here blog, will agree with me about it.

Instead of spending money and time on different project, you could have released ETS2 on time, and only afterwards focus on different project. If you think that just because you throw another small game like T&T at us we'll forget about you delaying ETS2 and about not listening to our demands you're wrong!ReplyDeleteReplies

They didnt give us t&t to be patient .... read their blogs! It was a money thing.......! Scs software are maybe 10 developpers all their money is on ets2. A really small company with damn good ideas. Do your homework before the talkingDelete
Come on you little annoying pig,Delete
why are you still complaining, you have made your point allready, we know, SCS suck, I will pirate, and all that other blabla bullshit!
Just be happy that SCS is making this gamegenre and appreciate it, these guys are doing a hell of nice job.
So please stop talking about ur demands and shit, you're not allone on this world, remember that, you're not the only one with demands, they can't put in every demand, so!
Talk normal or stop posting stupid posts that is only annoying the rest.
You stop posting stupid replies to my posts. If you bothered to read them, you'd know that I'm not implying that they should take into consideration every little demand a fan has, but when it comes to the things that most of the fans ask, such as having pedestrians on the streets, implementing those things in the game is a MUST !!! So don't give me this "they can't put in every demand" shit, because I didn't say that !Delete
And no, I shouldn't be happy just because they make the genre. If you work on a thing, do a quality job or don't do your job at all !
- AnonymousFebruary 16, 2012 at 3:22 PM
Nelutu, you're a very complicated person.. You hate SCS but you'll love to play their games ?! .. And about the pedestrains, do you fucking know how much work will it be to make pedestrains AI, so they wont just come out on the street, on T&T they were puted chaoticly, just for fun! ..Delete
SCS will have to delay the game more if you want the pedestrains, becouse they have to create all new 3D models for ETS2 engine, all new 3D models of people, new AI for their mooving, new map AI so they could mark the place they'll moove, quit asking for pedestrains and try to learn how's a game made and what's needed to be done so it'll run smooth
Like I said, you're complicated and not as smart as you think you are. Do you get it clear now, dumbass ?
- MichaelFebruary 16, 2012 at 4:42 PM
Nelutu, the small projects are for earning extra money to make ETS 2 even better, and those projects are not delaying ETS 2, they said both things in THIS post, i guess your just a little kid who doesn't know how you make games and just want everything you want in it or you are just going to pirate it, by that i know your a little kid.Delete
@Michael: Please read what I wrote above. I didn't say that SCS should add everything I want in the game, and it isn't just about me either. What I complained about was that a lot of people (including myself, but not only myself) have asked for pedestrian, and yet SCS answers to this with their butts. That's what I'm all angry about.Delete
@Anonymous: I think that you don't know too much about creating games either ... They could just add a script that randomly places pedestrians in cities, gas stations and rest places. And they could add another script that doesn't allow the truck to hit them. I for one wouldn't mind if they were placed chaotically, just as long as they would be there.
The problem is that many people ask for pedestrians, but not many people take more attitude If more people complained the way I do and keep asking SCS about pedestrians, maybe they would give us an answer to our requests. The problem is that too many people don't realize that they have some rights and they're just happy that SCS makes the game, as if they weren't creating it for money, as if they made the game as a favour to us, not as a source for their own profit.
THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDING PEDESTRIANS BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN RUN THEM OVER AND THE GAME WOULD BE RATED HIGHER, SO THEY ARE NOT ADDING THEM, you are just a kid who doesnt read posts made by scs softwareDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 16, 2012 at 10:44 PM
What is this suppose to mean
"If you think that just because you throw another small game like T&T at us we'll forget about you delaying ETS2 and about not listening to our demands you're wrong!". Do you actually realize how uttlerly ridiculous that statement is? Demands!!! You do understand you're talking about a video game right??? not a hostage situation.
People asked for more minor road SCS added more minor roads
People asked for better hadling SCS implemented better handling.
Better rain effects
more realistic trailers
Darker nights
More diverse truckstops
more diverse management system
Need I continue to list things or does you tiny brain understand what I'm getting at??
I've bought every GTA game do you think Rockstar cares.... or even listens to my demands.
SCS are a small developer with a limited budget.
stop behaving like a cretinous little urk.
@Michael: It seems to me that you are the retarded one here, because it is you who don't read or don't understand my posts. As I said, they could add a script which prevents the truck from stepping over pedestrians.Delete
@Anonymous: Yeah, I agree, they've added some stuff that we wanted there. But that doesn't mean they've added enough. Especially since pedestrians could be easily implemented.
- DanijelFebruary 17, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Don't be ridiculous,there are many other important things than pedestrians.To me as simulation fan they are totally unnecessary for now,and all those who giving proposals like: exiting the vehicle,animals on the road,drinking,eating,pissing etc...Such proposals can only be written by boring kids who have no idea what the word "simulation" means,and they expect that truck-sim game can be like GTA4.Delete
@Danijel: You're the boring kid here, you moron, and you have no idea what simulation actually means. Simulation means being as close to reality as possible. When you're a truck driver in real life, you don't spend the whole day in the cabin of the truck. You also stop for a coffee, for a meal, or simply for taking a piss. Also, you encounter other people in cities or at gas stations, rest areas, grillhouses and such. You're not alone in an empty world as a real truck driver. You're stupid if you think that simulation means just driving around in your truck the whole day.Delete
- AnonymousMarch 1, 2012 at 11:51 AM
And you do not seem to understand, that this game has to be made to cater to a wide range of PC specs. The more sprites you add on screen the more lag will be created. If you would like more information about creating games, let me know. I have been working on one by myself for almost 6 years, I don't think you would believe the amount of money I have spent on creating it.

I'm glad to see the pictures showing the new project from SCS. It show us some cool new features that we may expect for ETS2, but I think the Scania R-Topline cab is not the suitable cab for construction sites (assuming that the project has a construction-related content). Usually, we see 6x4 G or P cab with short roof in that scenario.ReplyDelete
I liked so much of the light spot on the wall and the ground full of water!
Good work SCS. This is an amazing idea. This project will bring some money to make ETS2 more better. And Nelutu,you make Romania of laughter! I'm romanian too but Nelutu is a stupid child! So fans of the SCS games,don't listen to him! Sorry for my english!ReplyDelete

Why the fuck are you showing random screenshots? Atleast explain why the fuck are you parked in the first screen, why are you manuvering that truck like that in second, where is the 3rd screen and why isn't in the last screen trailer turning as it should?ReplyDeleteReplies

"Here we are some half a year later, with an almost finished game.. Stay tuned!"
That means, the game is 90% done and when it's 100% they'll explain everything .. the ".. Stay tuned!" means that in very short period we'll have all the information.
As about the question for the trailer.. I asume that you've never even got close to a truck with semitrailer (.. well in Europe), the truck isn't going into the curve as it should, if you have taken a look at the cab you'd see that the cab isn't straight but against the grass, not as the curve goes. If you don't know smth, just don't talk about it..
