text: Hi all, here's a "juicy" one. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my undercarriage 10 days ago. The surgeon saw the wound yesterday and is pleased with the way it's healing. She plans to remove the sutures in three or four days. She has also advised me that it will be ok to start riding at that time. I am concerned that this will be too soon, as the last thing I want is for the wound to reopen. Has anyone gone through this procedure, and would you be willing to share your experience? I recognize that the healing process is different for everyone, but any guidance you can share would be very helpful. Thank you!

Cherokee Nation citizenship is not based on blood quantum, Chief Chad Smith said on Saturday. The leader of the second-largest tribe in the country said membership depends on having Cherokee ancestry. Citizenship is traced to the Dawes Roll, a federal census taken in the late 1800s. "We don't care what color you are, what background you are, as long as you have a common Cherokee ancestor," Smith said at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. "So we don't have a blood quantum." But blood has entered the picture with the recent disenrollment of the Freedmen, who are the descendants of former African slaves. In March, Cherokee voters changed their constitution to deny citizenship to anyone who can't prove they have a Cherokee, Delaware or Shawnee ancestor. The Dawes Roll lists the Freedmen ancestors but it does not indicate their Indian ancestry. That means upwards of 3,000 African descendants won't be able to vote or receive tribal health, education and other services as a result of the vote. Amid national controversy over the issue, the Cherokee Nation has temporarily reinstated citizenship to the Freedmen. They were able to vote in a June 23 election in which Smith won a third term as principal chief. But to Marilyn Vann, the president of the Descendants of Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes Association, temporary citizenship isn't enough. She's the lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit that seeks to cut funds to the tribe until African descendants are treated like other Cherokee citizens. "We will exercise the rights we have but not stop fighting for full equality," Vann said last month after a judge refused to halt the election. The Interior Department doesn't plan on cutting funds to the tribe. But assistant secretary Carl Artman warned in a recent letter that the Freedmen were promised citizenship in an 1866 treaty. "I recognize the Cherokee Nation as a sovereign nation capable of managing its government without oversight of the federal government," Artman said in the May 21 letter. "I also recognize that the United States 1866 treaty with the Cherokee Nation was somewhat unusual in its requirement that the Cherokee Nation recognize the rights of individual Freedmen in exchange for amnesty and the continuation of the government-to-government relationship between the United States and the Nation." The court case aims to resolve whether the Cherokee Nation can remove the Freedmen without violating the treaty. A federal judge has already ruled that the tribe can be sued, saying its sovereign immunity was waived by Congress through the treaty and by the Thirteenth Amendment the U.S. Constitution, which outlaws slavery. Meanwhile, Rep. Diane Watson (D-California) has introduced a bill to cut federal funding to the tribe and federal approval of the tribe's gaming operation until the Freedmen are restored. The measure has been referred to the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. Smith spoke at NMAI during the screening of "Trail of Tears Cherokee Legacy," a documentary about the forced removal of Cherokee ancestors from their homeland in the Southeast to Oklahoma. Along with filmmakers Steven Heape, a tribal member, and Chip Richie, Smith took questions about Cherokee history and culture. BIA Letters:

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- European Union politicians are sharply divided between those keen for ambitious green car standards they say are needed to keep up with U.S. goals and those trying to limit the regulatory impact on makers of big luxury cars, draft reports show.
The European Parliament this week debates Commission plans to enforce lower emissions standards for cars and vans as part of efforts to thrash out new EU law.
Ireland, holder of the six-month rotating EU presidency until the end of June, said it believed the proposal was likely to be watered down, as German politicians, reflecting the views of Germany's car industry, were steering parliamentary debate.
"The Commission proposal is extremely well-balanced," a representative of the Irish presidency said. "There are two German rapporteurs, so it could be diluted through flexibility mechanisms."
Thomas Ulmer, a German Christian Democrat member of the European Parliament, is leading parliamentary discussion on the proposal to enforce a 2020 limit of 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer as an average across the EU car fleet. Another German politician is also leading a separate vans proposal.
Ulmer's report to a parliamentary committee said it was important to meet what he described as "a very ambitious value."
"As, however, it is larger vehicles that generally play a pioneering role in vehicle technology, the rapporteur feels compelled to propose a realistic system of incentives, which will promote the development and use of new, less environmentally damaging propulsion concepts," said the report, seen by Reuters.
German manufacturers, including Daimler, are among those calling for so-called "supercredits" as incentives. Those allow manufacturers to produce more cars that exceed the EU target if they also make very low emission cars, such as electric or hybrid vehicles.
Beyond 2020
A separate text, also to be debated by politicians, called on the EU to match U.S. regulation that stretches out to 2025, allowing for long business-planning cycles.
"A weakness of the Commission's proposal is the lack of a post-2020 vision," the draft opinion from British Liberal Democrat member of the European Parliament Fiona Hall said.
The United States had set a target requiring carmakers to cut fuel consumption in cars sold between 2011 and 2025, she said, urging an EU target for CO2 of 70g/km by 2025.
"Because the EU should remain at the forefront of the global race for cleaner vehicles, it should adopt an equally ambitious pace for development," she added.
Hall said while supercredits encouraged ultra-low emission vehicles, they allowed carmakers to make more polluting cars.
Franziska Achterberg, a campaigner at Greenpeace, said Ulmer's proposal on supercredits would "allow manufacturers to exceed their carbon reduction targets massively."
"It is even doubtful that this supposed incentive would lead to more electric cars on the road. What it would certainly do is allow carmakers to continue producing high-emission conventional cars," she said.
Consumer groups say supercredits mean higher fuel costs.
"Meeting the 95g/km CO2 standard in 2020 would give new car buyers in Europe fuel savings of 344 to 465 euros each year, recouping the potential increase in manufacturing costs in less than three years," Monique Goyens, director-general of the European consumers' organization BEUC, said. "BEUC is against weakening the target as supercredits would do, as it would undermine the financial benefits for the average consumer."

Ever wanted to have Ken Block's Gymkhana-tested Ford Fiesta Monster Rally car? Yeah, us too. But you can't have it. So here's the next best thing — an opportunity to win one of three just-released-today Ken Block Fiesta Hot Wheels cars — including one you won't be able to buy today... because they already sold out!
There's three different cars — three 1:16th RC cars, three nitro speeders, and three die-cast Fiestas (pictured above). The RC cars and nitro speeders are fun because they're interactive. The die-cast car is awesome because it's rare like steak.
So we'll choose the nine winners by randomly selecting them from the commenters on the "Comment here for a chance to win a Ken Block Ford Fiesta" thread on our official Jalopnik Facebook fan page.
It's all part of our continuing attempt to build the next generation of auto enthusiasts. What better way for you to help spread the message of love of cars to your friends — as loyal soldiers in the Jalopnik army — than Facebook? (Well, maybe Google+, but nobody's on that yet. Well, other than me.)
All you have to do is head over and join our official Facebook page and drop a comment saying which car you want (choose either RC car, nitro speeder car, or die-cast car) on the "Comment here for a chance to win a Ken Block Ford Fiesta" thread. Your comment serves as your entry into a random drawing for the model. All you have to do is join and comment. We'll randomly pick one winner tonight at 9:00 PM EST.
Our standard contest rules apply.
FYI: we turned off comments on this post so as not to confuse folks who don't read instructions well. If you want to win you have to comment on the thread on Facebook, NOT HERE! That is all.
You can keep up with Ray Wert, the author of this post, on Google+, Twitter or Facebook.

Souza shows flashes in brief action for Nats
WASHINGTON -- Nationals outfielder Steven Souza, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday to replace the injured Nate McLouth (right shoulder inflammation), saw his first action in the field Wednesday night when he entered for right fielder Jayson Werth in the seventh inning. Werth has been dealing with shoulder and neck tightness for the past week, and manager Matt Williams said he made the move to avoid any risk of further injury.
Souza got one at-bat in the seventh inning, the second plate appearance of his most recent stint in the Majors. He flied out to center, but he nearly hit his first big league home run earlier in the at-bat when he turned on a 1-1 fastball from Mets reliever Buddy Carlyle. The long drive sailed just foul and landed about 15 rows into the blue seats in left field.
Souza also made a smooth defensive play in the top of the ninth inning. With one out, Chris Young connected on a short blooper to right. Souza charged, called off second baseman Danny Espinosa and made the sliding catch.
"He's playing really well. He has been all season," Williams said. "Just a missed a homer, but he had a good at-bat and fouled the first one off, pulled the second one and actually just missed the third one, too. So it's good to see."
On Thursday, Baseball America tabbed Souza -- the Nationals' No. 5 prospect, according to MLB.com -- as the best power prospect, best baserunner and best outfield arm in the Triple-A International League. In 91 games for Syracuse before joining the Nats earlier this week, Souza hit .354 with 18 home runs, 70 RBIs and 24 stolen bases.

STAGE TUBE: HARVEY's Jim Parsons Visits LATE SHOW!
Jim Parsons, who is starring in the upcoming Broadway production of Harvey, appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night, May 8th. While he was there, he chatted about looking young, quitting smoking, and more. Check out the full appearance below!
Roundabout Theatre Company, in association with Don Gregory, will present Jim Parsons (Elwood P. Dowd), Jessica Hecht (Veta Louise Simmons), Charles Kimbrough (William R. Chumley, M.D.), Larry Bryggman (Judge Omar Gaffney), Carol Kane (Betty Chumley), Peter Benson (E.J. Lofgren), Tracee Chimo (Myrtle Mae Simmons), Holley Fain (Ruth Kelly, R.N.), Angela Paton (Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet), Rich Sommer (Duane Wilson), Morgan Spector (Lyman Sanderson, M.D.) and directed by Scott Ellis.
Performances of Harvey will begin on May 18th, 2012 on Broadway at Studio 54 (254 West 54th Street) with the official opening set for June 14th, 2012. The limited engagement is scheduled to run through August 5th, 2012.
Parsons stars as one of modern theatre's most lovable characters, Elwood P. Dowd. Charming and kind, Elwood has only one character flaw: an unwavering friendship with a 6-foot-tall, invisible white rabbit named Harvey. In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister Veta (Jessica Hecht) takes Elwood to the local sanatorium. But when the doctors mistakenly commit his anxiety-ridden sister, Elwood - and Harvey-slip out of the hospital unbothered, setting off a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone in town tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit.
Harvey was first brought to the Broadway stage in 1944 and was directed by Antoinette Perry. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1944, and its initial run lasted for four years-1,775 performances. James Stewart assumed the role of "Elwood" from Frank Fay in the 1944 production and originated the role in the 1970 production as well as the film adaptation in 1950. Helen Hayes played "Veta" opposite Mr. Stewart in the 1970 production.
Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Studio 54 box office (254 West 54th Street). Ticket prices range from $37.00-122.00Buy Tickets to Harvey - click here.

We saw it with TBC, we saw it with WotLK, and we'll assuredly see it again with Cataclysm. Players opt to try out the newly released race/class, and some simply just want a change. While there will be the eventual opportunity for players to race-change their mains to one of the new races (goblin/worgen), some will simply wish to reroll and level afresh, be it for story, role play, or just "clearing the slate."
Guilds need to be looking ahead to this, because it means a changeup of their rosters. An unprepared guild could find itself flailing for raiders to fit specific roles, and could easily disband over time as the players seek out new, stabler homes. Is your guild ready for this?
- Start up a discussion. Even if you're just opening the door for some "alt nights" to play out the new races, you need to start somewhere. Many raiders may not say anything about their plans unless asked.
- Talk out roles. Is your tank suddenly becoming a healer? Your healer going dps, etc? What will that do to your roster? Is there someone else interested in switching to that empty slot, or do you need to keep an eye out for recruits? Is the new role one that they have played before and have some experience with, or is it just a wild guess that they want to try out and may not fit with them, leading you to a longer wait at 85 as they figure out what they want to do?
- Talk out races. Is the player that wants to switch to the new race able to wait and perform a race-change on their main, or will they need time to re-level and, possibly, learn a new class or spec?
- Talk out classes. Is someone disillusioned with the class that they play? Do they have an alt that they enjoy more? This is a chance for them to change it up and get out of the rut with their current class, which will in turn keep them interested and enjoying the game.
- Talk out mechanics. Not everyone follows blogs or news sites, and the surprise of the changes may be waiting for them as late as them logging into the live update: surprises like that, particularly if they're rolled out before the expansion is released, can put a dent in your ICC raid nights while the uninformed player tries to quickly make heads and tails of it all.
- Talk out professions. Notably for Cataclysm, every player should be made aware of reforging (altering gear stats slightly with tailor/leather/blacksmithing) and the Archeology secondary profession. This can also include individuals' profession changes, such as the slew of jewel-crafters that emerged in TBC, and inscriptionists that came out with WotLK; if your favorite enchanter is planning to level a new profession, you may have a problem. Motivating the guild to stock up ahead of time on materials for leveling professions into the expansion is also a very good idea.
- Talk out schedules. I'm talking long-term vision here: is someone starting up college? Graduating college and starting a new job? Picking up a summer job, or taking evening classes? Not allowed to raid during the fall? Picking up a sport or martial arts? Having a baby? Moving to Antarctica (or just a couple timezones)? What do those players wish to do about raiding, then?
For a non-druid example, Mutilate rogues became viable raiding specs from the laughable fail-specs that they were, and for a time they enjoyed a WotLK single-target dps spotlight of overpoweredness. What TBC rogue would've expected that?
Be ready for class changes, and be ready for your guild to change things up on you. Don't let your guild get blind-sided with Cataclysm :)

We've changed around our satellite package so this morning bright and early, the cable guy rings the door bell. I usually stress a little about having strangers in the house because Noah reacts only 1 of 2 ways. A) He completely freaks out and won't let me put him down or B) he overwhelms our guest with seriously aggressive hospitality. Today he was totally doing the latter. Let me just say that Juan, the cable installer, was awesome! As soon as Juan walked in the door Noah was all over him like a wet blanket. He said, "Hi. What's you's name? You got a white truck. I like you's white truck. I got a white car. Do you wanna see it?" He ran around looking for his white matchbox car. When he found it he had to show Juan all of it's parts. "Here's him's wheels. He's got 4 wheels. How many wheels you's truck got?" He and Juan had a great conversation all about cars. Then Noah moved on to the next thing.
I am not sure why, but Noah thinks that when he grows up he is going to turn into a princess. Poor little guy needs some more testosterone in this house during the day! So he asks Juan, "What princess do you want to be when you grow up?" Juan didn't even flinch. He said in his very thick Spanish accent,"Well...what princesses are there?" So Noah launches into a lesson about Disney Princesses and how he wants to be the princess who wears the yellow dress. I am not sure if Juan ever committed to which one he wanted to be when he grew up!
Then Noah spreads his tiny, little legs until he is almost doing the splits. He does this all the time- he says he's making tunnels. Then I hear, "Hey... do you wanna go through my tunnel?" I guess this is where Juan decided he might need a break from Noah so he went outside to do some work out there. But Juan just couldn't seem to catch a break. Noah opened the door constantly screaming out each time, "Are you leaving? Don't leave! I don't want you to leave!"
I am pretty sure that had Juan stayed any longer, Noah would have made a new BFF! In other news, our criminal background clearances came through! Now seriously, I knew already that I wasn't a registered sex offender but it sure was great to see that on paper! I kept fearing that my identity would be stolen in this process and it would come back with 10 pages full of criminal convictions and nobody would give us a baby! That's one more thing I don't have to worry about anymore. I swear, every step seems like a huge deal to me!
We've got a jam packed weekend full of fun coming up! I am trying to make a cake that serves 70 people for a birthday party we're going to tomorrow, so I'd better get to baking!

With its collections of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Musée de Grenoble offers you a chance to traverse the history of western painting from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Included are major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting; one of 20th century Europe's richest collections; and all the great post-1945 contemporary art trends, right up to the most recent artworks of the 2000s.
The Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico, who was born in Greece, visited Italy's major cities in 1911, and settled for a while in Florence. His first "metaphysical paintings", exhibited from 1912 on in Paris, were noticed by Apollinaire because of their strangeness: nostalgia for an old, vanished order is recreated in them by shrewd lighting effects, dense shadows, a palette with sharply contrasted hues, and, above all, the disconcerting juxtaposition of unexpected objects. These visions of a dreamlike world would later win over the Surrealists.
Donated by the artist Paul Guillaume's dealer, this painting clearly conveys Giorgio de Chirico's development after 1920. The subject—a pair of dummies—belongs to the world which the artist formed from 1915 on, perfectly illustrated by the series of Disquieting Muses. Here, the dummies are depicted as busts, part of their body and their clothing being made up of architectural elements with arcade motifs. In this ambiguous space, Husband and Wife seem to come from one and the same torso, draped in the style of Antiquity. Their two heads—egg-shaped volumes in grey tones—stand out against a backdrop formed by a cloudy sky. This picture can be compared to a 1917 painting, and also to a drawing of that same year in which we also find half-length figures.
The vigour, the monumentality of the composition and the "fa presto" or "speediness" of the technique make this a typical work of de Chirico's world, in which the legacy of the classical culture mingles with a symbolist climate specific to the artist's imagination.

The wife of jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo (劉曉波) has filed an extraordinary appeal for his retrial, his lawyer said on Tuesday, in a move that could renew the focus on China's human rights record.
The news comes two weeks ahead of a visit to China by US Vice President Joe Biden, during which human rights will likely be raised amid a broader crackdown on dissent, and freedom of speech and assembly.
Liu, a veteran dissident involved in the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests crushed by the Chinese army, was jailed in 2009 for 11 years on subversion charges for organizing a petition urging the overthrow of one-party rule.
He was the organizer of "Charter 08," a manifesto for political reform.
His wife, Liu Xia (劉霞), who has been under effective house arrest since he won the Nobel Prize in 2010, visited Liu last month in prison in Liaoning Province and got his approval for the appeal, prominent human rights lawyer Mo Shaoping (莫少平) said.
"Whether Liu Xiaobo's viewpoints in his articles are correct or wrong, whether he drafted Charter 08 and whether those views are wrong or right, this is a citizen's right to freedom of speech and expression," Mo said.
"This is the constitutional right granted to every citizen and does not constitute a crime, so we are requesting that the courts hear this case again and find Liu Xiaobo not guilty," the lawyer added.
Liu Xiaobo's imprisonment has drawn the condemnation of Western governments and fellow Nobel laureates, who have been lobbying for his release.
Mo said his colleague, Shang Baojun (尚寶軍), another prominent human rights lawyer, traveled last week to Jinzhou Prison, where Liu Xiaobo is jailed, to request a meeting with him.
Prison officials said they could not decide in such an "extremely sensitive" case and would consult with higher-ranked leaders, Mo said, but he has not heard back from authorities.
Prison officials at Jinzhou could not be reached for comment.
Mo said Liu Xia chose to file the appeal at this time because of the treatment suffered by her brother, Liu Hui (劉暉), whose appeal was rejected in August by a Chinese court that upheld his 11-year sentence on fraud charges.
The case is seen as another example of official retribution inflicted on the Liu family.
China has denounced the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, calling it a "political farce" that did not represent the majority of the world, and especially not developing nations.
China called the award an "obscenity" that should not have gone to a man it calls a criminal and exerted diplomatic pressure on countries not to attend the award ceremony in Oslo.
Liu Xia is rarely allowed out of her home, except for occasional visits to her husband and family, and is almost never permitted visitors.
She has not been convicted of any crime.

As of Fall 2011, 20% of UT's student body is Hispanic. But that isn't stopping a couple of sororities from throwing a party chock full of racist stereotypes about Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.
Last night, two sororities, Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Delta Delta, hosted their annual "Zeta-Tri Delt Fiesta Party" at Recess Bar on 6th street. They rented the bar out until 12:30p.m. for their hundreds of guests, many of whom wore ponchos and other stereotypical Mexican garb of a bygone era.
Now, I don't believe that wearing tradition Mexican attire is inherently racist. But I do know that you have to be classy about it. Laying down some ground rules for attire would have been a much better step for the sororities, instead of encouraging hundreds of drunk Texas Greeks to parade around 6th street in clothing which suggests that this is what Mexicans and Mexican-Americans wear. Anyone who's been to a modern-day fiesta knows that this isn't how people dress.
Unfortunately, having no rules led these two sororities to host a party which also accepted, and obviously encouraged, outright racism. See the picture in this post, taken from the event. What the hell does an undocumented immigrant and a border patrol officer have to do with a fiesta party, which is supposed to be a celebration of Mexican-American culture? The "illegals" are clearly what some students thought this party was a referendum on. If you're not an "illegal" – a crude, dehumanizing term suggesting that a person's entire existence is defined by the status of their papers – then you're an ancient Mexican stereotype divorced from today's society. This type of dress should absolutely have been banned by two sororities claiming to be stand-up members of the UT and Austin communities.
It's not that these two sororities are racist, nor that all their guests are. It's that there are bounds of reasons in everything – themed parties included. Your right to free speech doesn't mean others can't critique the way you use it. There are 600 undocumented UT students in the same community as these revelers and they should be able to expect respect from their Longhorn peers. In their efforts both to study on Texas's DREAM Act, while politicians debate ridiculously over a national DREAM Act, it's not right for them to have to put up with this public display of antipathy.
Check out some footage from outside of the party:

Recently signed defensive end Andre Carter is at practice today, wearing No. 97 and seeking to get up to speed in time to provide a boost to the Raiders pass rush Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
Carter said he is at 100 percent after missing the latter part of last season with a quadriceps injury, while a member of the New England Patriots.
It remains to be seen whether he can learn enough of the defense and get into satisfactory football shape between now and Sunday's game.
— Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (concussion, neck strain), right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes and cornerback Shawntae Spencer (foot) are the only three players not at practice today.
Therefore, it's likely that Derek Hagan or rookie Rod Streater will start opposite Denarius Moore on Sunday, with rookie Juron Criner perhaps seeing his most playing time of the season.
It's also a near certainty that Willie Smith will start in place of Barnes, with Michael Huff filling in for Spencer for a second straight game.
— Defensive tackle Richard Seymour is at practice today after missing the proceedings the day before with a sore knee.
A slew of players that were limited in practice Wednesday are on the field today. We won't know until after practice how much they were able to go today.
The media are limited to viewing the first 30 minutes of practice, at which time the Raiders commence full-team drills in earnest.
— Broncos coach John Fox said Thursday that the suspension of linebacker Joe Mays was upheld, meaning Mays won't play Sunday against the Raiders.
Mays was suspended for one game for a vicious hit on Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub last Sunday on a play on which Schaub lost part of his ear.

Hi All,
I am new to the site, my name is Yolandi and I am in Dubai. I have a 5 month old Macaw that is tamed but still not use to use. We got him yesterday, 6 Aug 2017. I would like to give him training and good excersises, he can't fly as yet and they pulled out his tail feathers.
I want to make sure he is healthy as can be and gets all the care he deserves. He does not stay in a cage and is in the open house.
I wanted to know if there is any one that can help with more training with him? I also want him to socialise with other parrots. Is there "play groups" for them?

Despite how ridiculous it sounds, the above headline is absolutely true. A bill is being introduced in Congress that will establish some kind of safety standards to protect the walking blind from hybrids. Hybrids and other electric cars pose risks to the blind because they are too quiet. The blind listen for cars when crossing the street and having fleets of too quiet hybrids poses a dangerous risk, New York representative Edolphus Towns said. There's research to prove it too!
A study at the University of California at Riverside showed that hybrids operating at slower speeds must be 40 percent closer to be heard by a blind individual. There aren't any standards set in place, but we would love to see a bill requiring hybrid owners to honk when approaching an intersection. We'll be damned, Al Gore. There is a downside to hybrids!

This lesson here will teach you the proper or correct way to draw anime heads or head. I'm trying to redo a lot of the old lessons that I have submitted years ago because now that I draw a lot better than I did before, I can break down a drawing and teach you in better detail on how to draw something the right way. Of course the way that I'm about to teach you "how to draw anime heads" is my way. There are so many different ways to draw anime heads because there are many artists out there that have a different approach to drawing specific things. Having said that, I do hope that the information I provide in this tutorial will help you in the sometimes difficult task to drawing anime heads. I had fun with creating the lesson, so let me just let you guys get to it. Have fun people!

Okay folks, this is for Comic Authors.
If you want to keep your forum, you must have it linked to the front page of your comic (in your indextemplate.html file).
I will be spidering all of KeenSpace, grabbing each front page, and grepping for every forum.keenspace.com URL. Forum URL should look like this:
Your forum will have a different forum ID number (the 798 in the f=798, of course, is for this forum).
Those who do list their forum will be passed over. The rest of the forums that don't have a comic to go to will be nuked unceremonously. The Communities and Main forums (Gear/Annoc/Help/General/etc) will not be touched (yes, I'll be verifying that by hand, so you won't have to list them).
Yes, this is all in preperation to having the Board Requests open back up again!

Students admitted to LC accelerator school
Preparations continue toward our "Fourth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders" to be held from 7 to 18 September in Beijing, China. The school continues to draw a large applicant pool as we received a total of 244 applications from 41 countries, similar to last year in the U.S. (245) and the year before in Italy (243). Thanks to the hard work of the three regional student selection teams, we have selected 71 highly qualified students for the 2009 school. There are another ten on the waiting list. We are very pleased with the admitted class and we will now work hard to arrange travel and visas, and to organise the programme in preparation for a hopefully very stimulating and educational experience for our students.
|The applicant pool for this year's LC accelerator school consisted of 244 applicants from 41 countries
|The distribution by country of origin of the 71 accepted students
The organisation is done jointly by the Global Design Effort, International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) and the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) Beam Dynamics Panel. The overall popularity and success of the school clearly indicates that it is filling an important need for the high-energy physics community. Like last year, there are about as twice many applicants from the host region, Asia, as from Europe or the Americas. This year, there were more from China (37 vs. 5 last year), because the school is held in China, and we had an increase from Switzerland (14 vs. 3 last year), mostly from CERN (13). There are fewer applications, but still a substantial number from India (39 vs. 81 last year) and we received applicants from countries like Cuba, Kenya, Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan. The country distribution of accepted students is shown in the figure with good regional balance: 30 participants from Asia, 21 from Europe and 20 from North and South America.
The focus of the school will be on Terascale linear colliders including the ILC, the Compact Linear Collider Study (CLIC) and the muon collider. The attendees are graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers from around the world, including physicists who are considering a career change from experimental physics to accelerator physics.
For this year's school, we are evolving our curriculum to provide a more in-depth experience that could be of value to students who participated in our earlier schools. As a result, we have accepted eight students who have already taken part in previous years. The curriculum will contain an overview of the different future Terascale lepton collider options and a lecture on linac basics, followed by a choice of two in-depth tracks: one on damping rings, linacs and beam delivery system; and one on superconducting and warm radiofrequency (RF) technology, low-level RF and high-power RF.
This year we have a set of excellent lecturers, well-qualified students, a new in-depth curriculum and a good venue for the school. Everything points to what I am expect will be another very successful linear collider accelerator school!

The Federal Government's 2020 Inland Impact
It is often difficult to push through the federal government morass to focus on the issues that actually matter to the inland operator. While 2020 inevitably will be a contentious year in American politics, it is critical to stay focused on the items that will have direct impact on the U.S. maritime industry. From a potential new Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) bill to potential Jones Act challenges, 2020 will be an important year for inland operators to stay politically engaged.Work on WRDAJanuary marked the beginning of Congress' work in earnest toward introducing a new WRDA bill.

When President Xi Jinping made his first state visit this year to Myanmar and signed new infrastructure contracts, there was no indication of the obstacle about to trip up China's plan for railways, ports and highways around the world: the coronavirus.Travel restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease, which has now killed more than 1,800 people, have idled much of the world's second-largest economy and choked key elements of Xi's signature Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).Chinese workers cannot get to overseas projects, and factories are cut off from the Chinese imports they need to keep running, according to more than a dozen company executives and officials.

France, Australia Downplay Tensions over Submarine Deal
France and Australia reaffirmed their commitment to a A$50 billion ($34 billion) submarine deal on Friday, seeking to defuse tensions after French shipbuilder Naval Group raised concerns over the capability of Australian contractors.Australia signed a production contract with Naval Group in February 2019 for a fleet of 12 attack-class submarines, ending a two-year wrangle over one of the world's most lucrative defense deals.Australia had selected the French firm as its preferred bidder in 2016 ahead of other offers from Japan and Germany. However, final contracts were delayed amid reports of cost blowouts and production delays.

She said that she didn't enjoy the working hours, but loved the city and that the pay was enough to live on. She commented that the atmosphere was a bit snooty and that teachers had to show gratitude for the work they were given and there was a vibe that if you didn't like it, you were easily replaceable. Other than that, there were no major complaints from her and I vaguely remember Cambridge having more than one office in Lisbon anyway. I just can't remember the good stuff she said. She recommended I go there and I sent in an application, then decided on Spain instead. Mainly because the latter answered more quickly and didn't have a problem with my 1-year full-time/2 supervised pracs/university Diploma in TESOL.

The school itself was pleasant and well-equipped. (I know this isn't particularly helpful, or even on target--I was just struck by a bout of nostalgia when I read the name of the school!)

You usually work 22 contact hours per week and the pay is good compared to the other schools - approx 1400 euros after tax each month. There is a good syllabus to follow and there is always help from the senior teachers so planning classes is fairly easy. The downside is that they seem to think they are god's gift and you are lucky to work for them - you can never ask for any time off which I never had thankfully. Porto is also an extremely dull city which can send you mad - it's a ghost town on Sundays. Lisbon is a much nicer city so if you work for them go for Lisbon.

How about a new tutorial on a very familiar face that we know from the film 'How to Train Your Dragon'? Today I thought it would be nice to once again show you folks "how to draw chibi Night Fury", step by step. People still upload their artworks of this loveable, adorable dragon even though the movie came out a while ago. I guess it's hard ignoring a face that will forever be recognized and loved. Toothless is one of my favorite dragon creations from a movie. I though the animators and CGI people did an awesome job creating this black colored yellow eyed dragon with small teeth. I hope you folks enjoy drawing chibi Night Fury or Toothless as much as I did recreating him in his baby form. I will return with some other cool tuts so try and sty tuned in. Peace folks and happy summer.

By Tom Rosenbauer
Two years ago, we set out to make the lightest fly rod in the industry. Part of the problem was that graphite fiber technology, at least the fiber that can be used in a premium fly rod, just has not changed much in the past few years.
But we have a number of new rod designers in our rod shop, young guys who look at things differently than older, more traditional designers. They knew that all the action in composite design is not in fiber technology but in the prepreg and scrim technology—in other words, the stuff that holds the graphite fibers together and the material that gives a finished rod hoop strength, or resistance to crushing. If you can lessen the amount of graphite fiber you need by using improved resin systems, and if you can use a lighter scrim and less of it, you can design a fly rod with less weight.
And this is exactly what they did. Now scrim is pretty un-sexy stuff. All it does is to keep the hollow graphite tube used to construct a rod from collapsing under the pressure of a long cast or a big fish. Unidirectional graphite fiber can't do that by itself. In ordinary graphite fly rods the scrim is made from fiberglass, which is heavier, less expensive, and not as stiff as graphite. In Zero Gravity fly rods, the fiberglass scrim was replaced by graphite scrim with an epoxy binder, which allowed us to use less material and thus make a much lighter rod.
New Technology from the Space Satellite Industry
Building upon our Zero Gravity's exclusive thermoplastic resin technology, which is stronger and lighter than the epoxy resins used to make traditional fly rods, the designers found an exciting new scrim in the space satellite industry. This unidirectional graphite scrim with a thermoplastic binder gives us the same strength in our rods, but uses much less material. We reduced the weight on our new Heliosblanks by 25% less than our already lightweight Zero Gravity blanks. Then the rod team designed, from scratch, new reel seats that would keep the 25% weight reduction throughout the entire rod.
So, they came up with the lightest rod we've ever designed. I was pretty excited. Lighter rods are more fun and less tiring, but could this really make someone cast better or put a fly someplace they never could before?
New Design Coupled with New Technology
Then I got a chance to cast one of these rods. "Whoa," I thought. "This is an amazingly light rod and it wiggles nice, but this thing feels really different." And it wasn't just the weight. When I asked Andy Stone and Frank Hoard, the new designers, and Jim Logan, VP and head engineer in our rod shop, I found out why. The new material had given them the opportunity to take advantage of a new taper, a steeper and faster taper that was not stiffer, just more responsive and powerful.
Accuracy and Control for Freshwater Casting
So these Helios rods were fun on the casting pond. What would they feel like in real fishing conditions? I took a 4-weight to the Delaware River for trout fishing and tried it over some of the snottiest brown trout I've ever tangled with. That rod would put the fly just where I wanted it to go, almost like ESP. I took a 9-foot, 5-weight to Idaho's South Fork, and the most amazing aspect of the rod's performance was that I could switch from pounding the banks with size 8 Chernobyl Ants and then switch to tossing PMDs over finicky cutthroats on 6X with the same rod—and it still maintained the same control and accuracy in both cases.
Power for Casting Large Flies for Saltwater
Then I took a 10-weight striper fishing for big June fish on Cape Cod. It handled big stripers and big poppers in the wind like nothing I'd ever used, and after 10 hours of casting, my arm was not the slightest bit tired. The 10-weight then came along with me to Rhode Island in search of small bluefin tuna in August. The bluefins were not around, but the rod helped me make some quick, precise long casts into the wind for some nice bonito that were blowing up the surface but only gave you a few seconds to make a presentation before they steamed away.
Our testers have had the rods on trout all over the world, tarpon, snook, bonefish, redfish, and many other species. The universal reaction is that for hardcore anglers who fish on the edge and demand the most out of their equipment, Helios sets the standard for the next generation of graphite fly rods. Personally, I think they'll make plain old backyard trout fishing a lot more fun as well.
By Eric Rickstad, editor of The Orvis News
"Handle to tip - it's all there. Never felt anything like it. No BS. Seriously impressed. The fly-fishing market will be buzzing."
"A New Dawn in Rod Making"
We set out on an adventure two years ago to make the world's lightest fly rod. Along the way, we also made the world's best.
The new Helios is so innovative and, frankly, so far ahead of all other fly rods it skips generations in how a fly rod should feel, cast, and fish. It is so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that to compare it to other graphite rods is like comparing graphite to fiberglass. There is no comparison. The Helios is that good.
And everyone is noticing... The Helios has received praise across the board from anglers, guides, fly-fishing magazines, and bloggers alike.
Simply pick up a Helios and wiggle it and you'll understand the praise.
You'll be stunned by just how light and balanced the Helios is; at just 2 1/8 oz.the 8' 6" 5-wt feels like you¹re holding just a cork handle, and at at just 3 1/4 oz. the 9-wt. literally feels like a 5-wt.. That lightness — which sure comes in handy when you are casting all day — is the result of using, for the first time ever, our exclusive thermoplastic, thermoset resins from tip to butt to reduce the entire blank¹s weight.
But, our new technology goes far beyond making the Helios just the world's lightest fly rod. It let us create the all-new Precision Power Taper, a straight, steep taper that gives a superior, smoother transition of power all down the rod from tip to butt. This gives you a fly rod that loads quickly, is fast, crisp, and light, and has a supremely-balanced feel right down close at the butt. You can actually feel the line load the rod and feel your entire casting stroke, so you control your cast far better than with any other fly rod to generate the best casts of your life.
All that and a gorgeous translucent-olive finish, a woven-graphite reel seat, and REC Recoil guides that resist breakage complete the new Helios, which comes in a handsome woven-graphite rod tube.
Fish a new Helios. Feel the difference. Leap ahead. And set out on a fly-fishing adventure of your own.
Made in Manchester, Vermont.

8694.0 - Community Services, Australia, Preliminary, 1995-96
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 04/08/1997
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
Australia's community services expenditure
During 1995-96, Australia's community service organisations spent a total of $9,705 million on provision of community service and related activities, according to preliminary figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
The publication Community Services, Australia 1995-96 (cat. no. 8694.0) reveals that $8,946 million was spent on direct community service provision and a further $759 million was spent on community service related activities.
The major areas of expenditure on direct community service provision were residential care and accommodation support ($5,062 million), personal and social support ($1,526 million) and child care ($1,043 million). "Not for profit" organisations accounted for 51 per cent ($4,520 million) of all expenditure on direct community service provision while Government organisations accounted for 29 per cent ($2,585 million).
At the end of June 1996, there were 8,036 employing businesses and organisations carrying out these community service activities. Of these, 5,385 businesses and organisations (67 percent) were "not for profit" organisations. Of the remainder, 2,228 (28 per cent) were "for profit" organisations and 423 (5 per cent) were government organisations.
These businesses and organisations employed 327,902 persons at the end of June 1996, of which 233,406 employees (71 per cent) were directly involved in the provision of community services. A further 284,547 volunteers assisted these businesses and organisations in the provision of community services in the month of June 1996.
There were 7,300 private sector businesses and organisations whose main activity was the provision of community services. The main sources of income for these businesses and organisations was government funding of $3,977 million (53 per cent) and income from services to clients and other organisations of $2,037 million (27 per cent). The major expense item of these businesses and organisations was labour costs ($4,624 million) which accounted for 65 per cent of total expenses.

After shifting almost weekly from player to player to player before the start of the 2013 season and into 2013, the odds are settling in on a favorite Duck.
Marcus Mariota was 9/2 in mid-September, slightly ahead of Johnny Manziel's 5/1; two weeks later, the Oregon quarterback is far and away the favorite at 8/5, even in the face of a HesimanPundit straw poll of actual voters that has the reigning stiff-armed trophy winner ahead at this point in time.
One word of warning: On Sept. 21 of last year, West Virginia's Geno Smith was Bovada's betting favorite. Five weeks later, Kansas State's Collin Klein was that wagering website's overwhelming favorite. Manziel wasn't among the 15 players listed in the September odds, nor was he among the eight listed in the Oct. 25 set of odds. He finally joined the Heisman party — albeit behind Klein — in mid-November.
Speaking of Manziel, and somewhat surprisingly, Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater has leapfrogged the Texas A&M quarterback in this latest release. Bridgewater, 13/2 two weeks ago, is now at 11/2. Manziel, meanwhile, has just as inexplicably dropped to 15/2, even as his one-for-the-ages performance in a loss to Alabama came after the last release.
The opposing quarterback in that game, the Tide's AJ McCarron, is at 10/1, as is Clemson's Tajh Boyd. McCarron's stock has dipped a bit in the eyes of Bovada as he was at 13/2 in mid-September.
Below are all of the latest odds, again courtesy of Bovada.lv:
Marcus Mariota (QB Oregon) 8/5
Teddy Bridgewater (QB Louisville) 11/2
Johnny Manziel (QB Texas A&M) 15/2
A.J. McCarron (QB Alabama) 10/1

Robert Pattinson Wrote Love Songs for Kristen Stewart Before Scandal Exposed?
Robert Pattinson reportedly wrote love songs for girlfriend-of-three-years Kristen Stewart before he was blindsided by her affair with married director Rupert Sanders.
Pattinson told Black Book in an interview that he was writing songs about his girlfriend and Twilight co-star, the U.K.-based Daily Mail reports. The British actor before becoming a big name star used to sing to tiny crowds at various venues in Los Angeles.
Photos surfaced on Tuesday showing Stewart and Sanders, who is the father of two young children, kissing. Sanders, 41, is an up-and-coming director who directed Stewart in the movie "Snow White and the Huntsman."
Reportedly 26-year-old Pattinson moved out of his Los Angeles home with Stewart after the scandal broke out. Stewart has also reportedly moved out of their home. In her public apology issued this past Wednesay, she admitted to cheating and says, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
The separated couple is also not on speaking terms, a source told People. It is unclear how Sanders is doing with his own relationship with wife Liberty Ross, a model and actress.
