Putin is Reassembling the Soviet Union
Putin and Obama could team up and take over the world.
Check it out:
Let me move on to Ukraine here for a second, because a lot of people are trying to figure out, "What the heck is going on here?" It's not that hard to figure out. The people who live in Ukraine want to be free. They want to be part of the European Union. Putin doesn't want 'em to be free. Putin wants to control 'em. They were promised they were gonna be part of the European Union at some point. Then all of a sudden the promise was broken, they're gonna be under Soviet-style domination from Moscow.
The people are protesting. There's outrage. The people are protesting the government in Ukraine. So Obama, Mr. Peacemaker, went in there and drew another red line like he did in Syria. I've got a sound bite here. It's number nine on my roster. It is 10 seconds long and it is the totality of Obama's policy here. Listen.
OBAMA: "We'll be monitoring very carefully the situation, recognizing that along with our European partners and the international community, there will be consequences if people step over the line."
Oh, man. I'm scared. That would intimidate me. That would really make me stop and think twice. Here's a guy, Barack Obama, who told Dmitry Medvedev (imitating Obama), "Hey, look, Dmitry, you go back and you tell Vlad I'm gonna have a lot more flexibility getting rid of our nukes after I win the election in 2012. Tell Vlad everything's gonna be fine." There was an open mic. We all heard it. So Medvedev smiles, he goes back and tells Putin (imitating Medvedev), "Don't worry, this guy wants to please us. This guy wants to make us happy. He said just roll with him 'til after the election, he'll start getting rid of his nukes."
So Putin, I guarantee you, has no fear of Obama.

Although Hussey scored a century for the tourists, the Black Caps chased down a record total of 337 to claim a five-wicket win in the second ODI and clinch the Chappell-Hadlee trophy for the first time in the competition's history.
Ross Taylor replied with an impressive 117 for New Zealand with Peter Fulton and Craig McMillan also hitting half-centuries, and Hussey said: "It was a very tough day. But I don't think we did too badly. There were just a couple of errors at crucial times."
The defeat marked Australia's fourth on the trot having crashed to a heavy 10-wicket loss in the opening one-dayer in Wellington, while also missing out in the Commonwealth Bank Series finals against England last week.
They have also lost their top one-day ranking to South Africa as a result, but although Hussey admitted the run was not the ideal preparation ahead of the World Cup, he is confident the team can bounce back in the West Indies.
"Although we are very disappointed the spirit is good," he added.
"We can't afford to panic. We have to trust our own personnel, trust our own games and trust each other. If we keep working hard I am sure we will be fine.
"We don't want to be losing but if we stick at it, and keep working hard we'll be okay."
Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming had nothing but praise for his team after their winning display.
"It was an amazing day, apart from the game, which was a close game against an Australian team who we have fallen to in close games in recent times," Fleming said. "To win the trophy is amazing and to feel the excitement in the crowd was great. I'm proud of the performance."

Liberty of the Sea is a very beautiful ship. The Royal Promenade was a wonderful way to met people and gather. Main room food was very good and well presented. Disappointed that with My Time dining because you are lock-in to only one dining room. The buffet was unorganized and confusing when looking for certain food. Unfortunately there was limited choices after 9 pm. The Windjammer was closed at 9 pm. I felt that the overall food and choices were better on Norwegian. After several days you can see that the ship should be going to dry dock in January, Carpet was dirty, elevator buttons damaged and wore seats in the theater. Lastly, they charged $1.50 for a bingo marker after charging $30 for 12 cards. Nickel and diming at its best!
received a helpful vote on their Liberty of the Seas cruise review - New England Criuse

Sky 1 is the British flagship channel operated and owned by Sky plc. It is the general entertainment channel operated in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Sky 1 launched across Europe on 26 April 1982 by founder Connor Baskey as Satellite Television and is the oldest non-terrestrial TV channel in the United Kingdom. In the UK, the channel is available via digital satellite on Sky, digital cable on Virgin Media, IPTV on TalkTalk TV and online via Sky Go. In Ireland, the channel is available via Sky Ireland, Virgin Media Ireland and eVision.
Sky 1 listings include some very popular broadcasts—many imported from North America—including 24, Battlestar Galactica, Bones, Caprica, Fringe, Glee, House, Lie to Me, Lost, Prison Break, The Simpsons, Stargate (SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe), Touch, WWE Smackdown, and You, Me and the Apocalypse.
Sky Channel[edit]
Sky 1 started on 26 April 1982 as Satellite Television Ltd,[1] and was Europe's first ever cable and satellite channel, originally broadcasting from the Orbital Test Satellite aimed to cable operators all over the continent; At first the station struggled financially, due to disappointing ratings in the countries in which it was officially available, which in turn led to insufficient advertising revenue and increasing difficulty in covering the high transmission costs.
On 27 June 1983, the shareholders of Satellite Television agreed a £5 million offer to give News International 65% of the company.[2][3] Murdoch extended the broadcast hours and the number of countries the station broadcast to including the United Kingdom. On 16 January 1984 the channel was renamed Sky Channel.
Sky Channel incorporated a large number of American imports in its schedules, while also increased the quantity produced of home grown programmes, including a number of new music programmes with Gary Davies, Tony Blackburn, Linda de Mol, Pat Sharp, David "Kid" Jensen, and Anthea Turner presenting programmes such as Euro Top 40, and UK Top 50 Chart. New children's programmes like Fun Factory and The DJ Kat Show, many of which came not only from Sky's own studios in London (having already abandoned the Molinare facilities by then), but also included programmes produced in the Netherlands by John de Mol's production company.
On 8 June 1988, Murdoch announced his plans to expand Sky's service to four channels, thus creating the Sky Television network.[4] On 5 February 1989, the Sky Television Network (Sky Channel, Sky News, Sky Movies and Eurosport) was launched, At the same time, prime-time broadcasts to European cable operators ended, being replaced by Eurosport, a joint venture between Sky and the European Broadcasting Union, and aimed at a pan-European audience (like Sky Channel had up to then). Initially, a new raft of shows were created, for the channel including Jameson Tonight, Sale of the Century (based more off the 1980s American version), The Price Is Right, Frank Bough's World and Sky By Day,[5] Sky TV's variation on ITV's more popular This Morning, hosted by former BBC Radio 1 DJ Tony Blackburn (who had moved to commercial radio by then) and former Magpie presenter Jenny Hanley. The show had a mix of entertainment, gossip, fashion, etc. The Channel continued with the same children's programmes, soaps, and US action series, WWF Wrestling. On 31 July 1989, the channel was renamed Sky One and closed in most European countries, broadcasting to only the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In 1990 Sky One begin to acquire more recent programming, an early success being Moonlighting, which the BBC had previously screened but not repeated. Sky One also picked new programming such as The Simpsons, 21 Jump Street and the last series of Falcon Crest, and following its merger with BSB's Galaxy Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
Sky Multichannels[edit]
After many years in the clear, on 1 September 1993, Sky One was encrypted as part of the new Sky Multichannels subscription package, and could no longer be viewed outside British isle without exporting a box, or receiving it over cable (although it had already been encrypted for a while since its original launch and first went in the clear in around 1987). The channel also commissioned a number of home grown programmes while also expanding its Australian television series to include E Street, Chances and Paradise Beach. It continued to be the most-watched satellite channel in the UK and Ireland, a position it held for most of the 1990s, with many first-run US imports such as The Simpsons (which traditionally has been the channel's main selling-point, remaining a satellite exclusive until it finally made its terrestrial television appearance on BBC2 in 1996), Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, ER and The X-Files, as well as some older programmes such as the various Star Trek series, Hill Street Blues, M*A*S*H*, and Lucille Ball's various comedy series.
The success of the channel lead to the launch on 1 September 1996 of a companion channel, Sky 2; however, it was not a success and was closed down on 31 August 1997, one day short of a year after it launched. In contrast to the Sky2 that was later relaunched, this channel featured even more first-run programmes, and it broadcast only at night, between 7 pm and 6 am.
History of logos[edit]
In 2000, a dedicated feed of Sky One for Ireland was launched. For most of this Irish feed's existence, the only difference between it and the United Kingdom feed has been differing commercials and programme promotions. In June 2003, the channel started broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen.[6] However, all TV commercials were broadcast in 4:3 until November 2005,[citation needed] because they were played off the same servers for all Sky channels, many of which were not broadcast in widescreen.
On 21 September 2004, Sky One Mix was subsequently renamed Sky Mix. On 31 October 2005, Sky Mix was renamed as Sky Two with the launch of a second sister channel Sky Three.
On 25 August 2012, it was announced by Stuart Murphy, director of Sky entertainment channels, that a one-hour timeshift of Sky 1 and Sky Atlantic would launch in the Autumn of 2012,[7] with the former launching on 12 November 2012. The time shift channel offers most of Sky 1's programming, however The Simpsons is not broadcast because BSkyB is prohibited from doing so under the current terms of their licensing agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution. An on-screen message instead appears redirecting viewers to Sky 1.[8]
For New Year's Day 2014, Sky 1 was temporarily renamed to Sky Onesie "to encourage viewers to snuggle up in front of the television wearing onesies, in a bid to recover from the previous night's celebrations".
Sky 1 HD[edit]
To coincide with launch of Sky HD, Sky 1 HD began broadcasting on 22 May 2006. The channel is a simulcast of Sky 1 and screens high-definition versions of some of the channel's programming, which include Lost, Bones, 24, WWE Smackdown, Fringe, Prison Break, House, and most recently new episodes of The Simpsons. Programmes that are not available in HD are "upscaled" (although Sky 1 showed the widescreen film Malcolm in the Middle, unlike most US broadcasts, since the film was originally filmed on Panavision widescreen film but cropped to full-screen by most broadcasters. This airing of the original film preserves the film's appearance without stretching or upscaling, although some scenes were compromised for widescreen and had to be upscaled).
Sky have stated that they intend to increase the amount of HD content they show, and hoped that by the end of 2008, two-thirds of all prime time shows, and 90% of their own original commissions, would be in HD.[9] A new Sky 1 HD logo was introduced along with the rebrand on 31 August 2008.
On 1 October 2010, Sky 1 HD launched on Virgin Media channel 122, with Sky 2 moving to channel 123 and Sky 3 (now Pick) moving to channel 180 on 22 September 2010, to make way for the new channel.[10]
Virgin Media dispute[edit]
On 1 March 2007, at midnight, Sky's basic channels, which included Sky 1, Sky 2, the former Sky 3, Sky News, Sky Sports News, Sky Travel and Sky Travel Extra were removed from the Virgin Media cable television services after a dispute between Virgin Media and BSkyB. This was due to the expiry of their previous carriage agreement and the companies' inability to reach a new deal.[11][12] Virgin issued legal proceedings against Sky over the dispute in April 2007.
The Virgin Media predecessor Telewest was involved in a similar situation in late 2004 when negotiations for renewed carriage of the Nickelodeon channels broke down. Telewest was unwilling to pay extra to keep the channels and preferred to simply drop them. Other Viacom owned channels remained such as MTV and the former Paramount Comedy 1. The reaction to this by customers was fairly large and many left the provider to rival Sky, others were retained as Telewest offered them a free upgrade to the Disney Channel for periods of between one and three months, others were reportedly offered upgrades to Sky Movies packages in a desperate attempt to keep them from leaving. The Nickelodeon channels returned to the Telewest platform on 12 February 2005 following successful renegotiations in Nickelodeon's favour.
At the beginning of March 2008 the two companies were reported to have resumed discussions over the dispute. Virgin chief executive Neil Berkett was reported as saying they had "continued interest in securing Sky basics back on our platform". The resumed talks had followed shortly after both Virgin and BSkyB had launched appeals against a recent Competition Appeal Tribunal ruling on BSkyB's 17.9% stake in ITV plc.[13][14]
On 4 November 2008, a carriage deal between BSkyB and Virgin Media channels was reached and BSkyB's channels were available on Virgin's cable service from 13 November 2008.[15][16] The Sky basic channels were spread across each tier of Virgin's cable TV service: Sky3 and Sky News were made available in the lowest M tier; Sky Sports News joined the M+ tier; Sky 1 and Sky 2 were made available in the L tier; and Sky Arts 1, Sky Arts 2, Sky Real Lives and Sky Real Lives 2 joined the XL tier.[16]

US programmes[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (May 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Sky 1 relies heavily on screenings of American television programmes, with many coming from Murdoch's Fox network. The Simpsons has been airing on Sky 1 since both of its early years, making the series not only the longest-running programme on Sky 1 but also the longest-running primetime animated series to date. As many as five episodes of said show are broadcast each evening, with any new episodes generally being shown on Sunday. Sky 1 has exclusive rights in the UK to show the most recent series of The Simpsons. Another early and long running fixture was Married... with Children, which ran all through the 1990s, but in the early 2000s the show suddenly disappeared from its regular schedule and has not been screened on any Sky channel since.
Sky 1 was also the original home to the UK's first run showings of episodes of ER and Friends, for seasons 4–6 of both shows (Channel 4 had shown seasons 1–3 first), giving Sky 1 some of the highest ratings for any satellite channel. In 2000, 2.8 million viewers watched an episode of Friends, the highest rated show on any satellite channel. However, when Channel 4 launched their own digital sister channel E4 they outbid Sky 1 for exclusive first run rights to both shows. However, Sky 1 still held the repeat rights for the early seasons of both shows for several years. As of 2013, Friends is shown in Comedy Central.
Sky 1 previously broadcast WWE programming, before moving it all to Sky Sports 3. Sky 1 currently broadcasts The WWE Experience and WWE Superstars.
Sky 1 occasionally screens older 20th Century Fox films such as Die Hard as part of its evening schedule (21st Century Fox owns a controlling minority stake in Sky) although they are shown with ad breaks, unlike films on premium film channels, for example Sky Movies and its sister channels.
Programmes commissioned by Sky 1[edit]
Sky has commissioned many homegrown programmers since it first started broadcasting back in 1984 but it was not until 1989 when content went beyond music and children reprogramming. During the early years new game shows including a few series of Blockbusters and Spellbound, along with Price is Right and Sale of the Century. Original Drama Dream Team, a drama series based on a fictional football team; The Strangerers (a science fiction sitcom that was dropped after one series and never repeated); Al Murray's sitcom Time Gentlemen Please; and Baddiel's Syndrome. Hex, another sci-fi show, had proved popular but was cancelled in April 2006 and Mile High also proved quite popular but it only lasted from 2003–2005. Sky One commissioned Terry Pratchett's Hogfather for Christmas 2006 proving to be their most successful programme ever. Following the success of The Hogfather Sky brought out in 2008 an adaptation of The Colour of Magic and its second half The Light Fantastic, and in 2010 Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, the 33rd book in The Discworld series. Sky also co-produces The 4400 and co-financed the first season of Battlestar Galactica.
It also screens many "reality" shows such as Cruise with Stelios, Road Wars, Shock Treatment, World's Deadliest Gangs, Pineapple Dance Studios, World of Pain, Road Raja, Ibiza Uncovered, Cirque de Celebrité and the most recent series Hairspray: The School Musical. It also recently has received success with entertainment science shows Brainiac: Science Abuse and spin-offs, Brainiac: History Abuse and Brainiac's Test Tube Baby and also Mission Implausible. Less successful shows include Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show.
Sky 1 have also commissioned a number of game shows including Blockbusters. The most recent game show is from Mark Burnett, Are You Smarter Than a 10-Year-Old, based on a United States format. On 30 January 2008, Sky One announced plans to bring back the UK 1990s game show Gladiators which was subsequently cancelled in 2009.[17]
In 2010, Sky 1 also commissioned several new comedies including A League of Their Own, An Idiot Abroad and Little Crackers.
Continuity announcers[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (March 2015) |
Current NME Radio DJ Claire Sturgess has been a "voice" of Sky 1 since 1998, and was the sole announcer from 2001 until 2005. As one of Sky 1's four announcers, her voice-overs are pre-recorded once a week and played out by an automated system.[citation needed]
Live continuity announcements air each evening. In 2009 they were voiced by announcers Dave Kelly, Faye Bamford and Philippa Collins. In 2010 three new continuity announcers were hired, Katie Morton, Katie Hudson and Paul Daniels, replacing all the previous announcers. In 2011, two new part-time announcers were hired.[18] During the day pre-recorded announcements air, promoting shows from all the different Sky channels.[19]

Voices of Community: Art, Food, Shelter, Justice
a presentation of Sandglass Theater and Next Stage Arts Project
November 13-20, 2016
Voices of Community brings together artists, activists and members of the community for a variety of events that address the need for the arts to be a powerful means for effecting social change.
The week has an overarching scope: progressing from how we listen to community stories, moving through how the community comes together around local needs, and culminating in the planning of forward-looking actions, all the time keeping theater practices as a core resource.
An explosive dance party with the band Planet Zydeco kicks off the week. The Keynote Address, "Imagining the Re-Integration of Art and Humanity." will be given by Carlton Turner, Executive Director of Alternate Roots and a 2013 member of the Kennedy Center Honors Artist Advisory Board. That leads into the main performances by Carpetbag Theater, Anu Yadav, and Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theater and supporting activities.
Carpetbag Theater's Speed Killed My Cousin, a new play by Linda Parris-Bailey, tells the dynamic story of an African American female combat soldier and her struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder upon her return home from Iraq.
Anu Yadav performs'Capers, a one-woman show based on the stories of families at DC's public housing projects who protested the government-funded relocation and demolition of their neighborhood. Anu shifts between a dozen characters in this moving portrait of families struggling to fight for their community and their human right to a place to live.
Heart of the Beast Theater will perform a school program: Are You Thirsty is explores the myriad questions contained in a cup of water – one of our most precious and necessary shared resources. Utilizing puppets and masks, this performance addresses how much of the earth's water is available for drinking, compares tap and bottled water, and helps us understand ourselves as part of the water cycle – bringing water issues vibrantly to life.
Interactive workshops will be led by nationally recognized artists who are experts in their fields, and by local leaders who are working to address the diverse needs of our community. There will also be a number of panel discussions and forums throughout the week with the guest artists and local representatives on connecting art, food, shelter, justice, and action.
The festival artists are scheduled to engage several local schools in workshops and performances. The scope of the week can be experienced in pieces or as a whole package, listening, advocating, and discovering how the arts can be used to envision and implement a more just society.
All venues are handicap accessible.
This presentation is made possible in part by funding from Fresh Sound Foundation, ArtPlace, National Performance Network, National Endowment for the Arts, New England Foundation for the Arts' National Theater Project, Landmark College, The Bay and Paul Foundation and Chroma Technology.
For tickets, directions, and further information about any of the events, please visit voicesofcommunity.org or call the Sandglass Theater office at (802)387-4051.

I don't know how this is going to go, but I would be deliriously happy if we just smashed them 4 games in a row. I mean, obviously, but especially so because of all the tanking crap and Blatche.

Despite being a very athletic team, we hardly run, so the biggest advantage that you'd think a young team would have likely wont happen due to our identity over the course of the year.
The biggest advantage we have is our size, which we need to ensure that we use on a consistent basis. Amir and JV need to be crashing the glass on every offensive possession, and just mutilate BRKs small starting frontcourt, and force Kidds hand into playing bigger to where we can then exploit them on screen roll with our quickness. Lowry needs to continue his domination of the Nets, and Derozan needs to try and get to the basket as much as possible to once again, force their hand in playing their bigger lineup, and bench more often. The biggest X factor in the series is KG. If they were indeed resting him only to play him 30 mpg and he's capable of doing so in a productive manner, we're in trouble, but he hasn't shown that he can play more than 20 minutes all year so hopefully that's a moot point. Blatche has also played well vs the Raptors this year from what I can remember, so we need to find a way to slow him down off of the bench. Hopefully Patterson steps up and can handle him. I also get flashbacks of Nachbar with Teletovic. If he gets hot in game 1 I'm going to lose my mind. Raps in 4. |

This is going to be one hell of a playoff series, also fun to watch. I'm glad we are playing Brooklyn over Washington, way more exciting and I think the crowd will be into it a lot more. I'm so hyped

this series is all about KG - if he's anywhere close to the real KG, we have no shot
otherwise it's going to be close, as both teams are jump shooting teams, whoever makes the most jumpers will win. our wildcard will be JV, he had a dominating game against KG, if he can punish them inside, we *may* get the upper hand. If JV struggles, we'll be in deep shit. The other key is attacking PP in the post. Amir is not a great post player, but he could destroy PP on the boards and should try to get him as busy as possible on D. Finally, our age could be the difference, if we're smart about it. If we'll try to run all the time, we'll get in trouble - the advantage is best exploited by keeping the starters for longer minutes. Other things to watch are ross vs JJ, he had real troubles with his size in the regular season, demar vs their long wing players and lowry outplaying deron. it's a winnable series, but you have to consider them favourites until we see where KG is at. |

Avoid Outages and service degradation through early detection of abnormalities Improve insight though the analytical discover of metric relationships and trends Reduce root cause analysis by reducing time to isolate faulty components in complex infrastructure "by 2016, 20% of global 2000 enterprises will have IT operations analytics architectures in place..."- Gartner
© 2013 IBM Corporation 9 Predictive Insights - The Problem If no there is no 'early detection' before the outage, operations teams can only react while outage is already in effect and already losing money... Why aren't operations teams preventative today? - Too much data to analyze manually - Existing analytic techniques, such as standard thresholds, are not up to the task - They cannot detect problems while they are emerging (before business impact) - Set threshold too high, insufficient warning before total failure. - Set threshold too low, too much noise, everything is ignored
© 2013 IBM Corporation 10 Multivariate Analytics Statistical models can discover mathematical relationships between metrics The extent this can be achieved depends on a number of factors, such as: range and type of data, availability of data, and stability of environment. Analytics falls back to a single metric if metrics are unrelated.

Maximize Advance Warning: Identifies metric relationship changes that signal a problem long before traditional thresholds Identify problems before you know to look for them Detect service impacts that are not identifiable by fixed thresholds alone. Assists with root cause analysis by indicating the most offending metrics. Reduces expensive and time consuming false alerts.

I picked up a sushi platter for a business meeting. i asked to be able to pick up at noon and they were ready right on time and the food was great. customer enjoyed it very much.
Fresh, tasteful food. Staff is quick, friendly and consistent in delivering great service. All food I have tried, I have loved.
Good range of available choices. Real crab used. Decor somewhat dowdy. Service is average or better. Lots of parking. Good for a family visit, and served fairly quickly. Have visited several times.
Twice. I've tried this place twice because I believe in giving second chances. Both times the service has been less than acceptable and the food has been 'ok'. But last night I met my daughter for dinner and was hoping for an environment that would allow for conversation. There was one other group in the restaurant, which isn't a great... More
Great food great service . Every time we have gone we have been happy with quality,quantity and service.
Service is great and food comes quickly. My husband and I make a point of stopping in every time we drive to vancouver even if its just to pick up take out. They have a roll that is to die for... Volcano roll.. Must try! Thank you for the great service!
The sushi here has always been good, as has the service, though it has been a little mixed lately. We do like this place, and will eat here now and then. We do prefer Kuro though.
Good staff - large menu to chose from and good size portions. Close to shopping. A little difficult to locate, in small strip mall
This evening my sister and I tried to eat at seven sushi. I wrote "tried" because I consumed probably 20% of my plate. I ordered the "seven dinner box with teriyaki chicken". I've never seen chicken like the chicken I was served tonight. It had the oddest texture, and was rubbery. The colour looked off as well. I was afraid... More

How to Create A Detailed Cassette Tape in Photoshop
Anyone remember audio cassettes? Back in the day, when I was a kid, we were listening to music from audio tapes and vinyl records. In this step-by-step tutorial we will reinvent the tape … again! I will walk you through the process of creating a detailed audio cassette, from scratch, in Photoshop using shapes, layer styles and filters. Interested? Let's start!

Mobile Web Mastery: 25 Tips on Designing for Mobile Devices
I recently read that it's expected that by 2013 there will be more users viewing the Internet through a mobile device versus a desktop or laptop computer. That's pretty amazing, and it means that more so now than ever before, we as designers, should consider designing and developing for mobile users. It's become a necessity that will continue to grow. So lets take a look at some tips on designing for mobile devices.
Photoshop Quick Tip: Working with Smart Text
While working in Photoshop I'm sure you've run into a situation where you needed to apply a filter to a text layer, and received a notification from PS telling you that you need to rasterize the text in order to apply the filter. Well, that's fine if you don't plan to edit the text any further, but what if you do? What if you decide the text should be bigger, or should say something else? If you utilize Smart Objects you can get around the need to rasterize text to apply filters.
5 Incredible Methods to Enhance Your Designs with Light
For a designer that is just starting out, understanding the concept and benefit of using light in your artwork can be a bit daunting. Light can create depth and add a touch of realism to your work. IT can also set a mood or tone for your piece. It's important that you consider different methods for utilizing light in your designs. In the tutorial below, we will look at a few of those methods to help give you a stronger grasp on how lighting can be utilized in Photoshop.
Illustrator Quick Tip: Using the Blend Tool to Create Repeating Patterns
Creating even the simplest repeating patterns in Illustrator can be time consuming. But knowing a couple of easy tricks can greatly reduce the time it takes. In this quick tutorial we're going to explore using the Blend Tool to quickly create a repeating pattern for background elements in Illustrator. This method makes it easy and can save you a ton of time.
5 Awesome Techniques for Using Textures in Your Designs
At some point in my design career I came to a realization that I can add incredible depth to my art by applying elements from the real world through scans and digital photos. Perhaps the greatest use of "real-world" elements is through the use of textures. We offer a ton of great textures here at WeGraphics, and sometimes I feel as though the use of textures can be overlooked by a new comer to the world of digital art.
Illustrator Quick Tip: Working With Grunge Splatters as Symbols
If you're used to creating grungy splatters in Photoshop because you're not familiar with the flexibility of vector symbols in Illustrator, this article may change your workflow dramatically. Not only are symbols incredibly flexible they can also reduce the file size dramatically over using standard vector graphics repeated over a design. Lets take a closer look.

Calderon too predictable in late game situations?
Just an observation I've noticed with Calderon ... in 2 year's time of watching him, he seems to shrivel up in the 4th quarter, dribble around the perimeter for god knows how long and dumps it into Bosh.
I've noticed he stops being creative and making plays for other people via transition or PnR ... just look at yesterday's OT & 4th quarter vs. the 2nd and third quarter vs. Memphis. The main point of emphasis for me here is that, even though Calderon has been KNOWN to do this, it really seems to surface during the 4th quarter --> He becomes LESS AGGRESSIVE, and I feel it's more mental than anything else. Anyone else notice this? |

Some call it predictable and some call very good game management. We had the lead so Jose worked the clock late in the game. Hedo really hurt us last night. When Wright got hurt the game changed and when Wright returned and Jay took out Weems and kept Hedo in it was game over. Hedo struggled last night...and he was dealing with issues back home. Everyone would have understood if Jay kept Hedo on the bench the entire 4th and o/t period.

If Calderon played like last night most nights we'd win more games. He was actually aggressive even if he was yet again our worst defender. His defence is non existant to say the least. But yes he's predictable, except when he's being more aggressive and pushing the ball alittle more like he did last night. Unfortunately, he doesn't do that nearly enough. Therefore his play often gets overshadowed by his putred D.

Jose was out standing last night on d. By far his best defencive game of the year. He rebounded and played very solid d. I just shook my head though on the team stragety to swith off immediately on the perimeter. Jose was bumping into the support guy on the planned switch. Jose was able to stay with his man last night . I was really surprised how much burn Jose got last nite. Jack has nevered got that many consecutive minutes all year. Jose up to the task and played very well. There was no drop off in his play last nite, however the thought of him getting hurt crossed my mind because of the consecutive minutes without a breather. I would liked to seen Jack in the game to give Jose a breather. Oh well its in the past now. We are playing again on Friday and i am sure that jack will get his minutes in that game.

Jeff common man you are better then that....please don't stir the pot, its my job. As an older poster and I know that you are up there in age. I am sure that you wear glasses, please review the game last nite but wear your glasses this time. I would also recommend that you increase the volume on your TV so you can hear how well Jose was on d. You very seldom get to see it but last nite maybe it was a fluke Jose was very good on d.
It was only one game but he was good. Sorry but Jack = Jose on d every nite. |

calderon was good on d last night, when someone did blow by him, it usually wasn't his fault, there was no help d what so ever. Also at the end of the game, there was no way Calderon could have stopped Gay, never should have switched. But one thing i want to mention is that nights where Calderon is good, Turk will disappear. They will never have a good game together. Im starting to feel some tension between Calderon and Turk......

Was Jack injured? Why were Jose and Turkoglu on the floor to end the game? This is a question for Triano, and one he should be asking himself. As has been noted in the past, the prolific Raptor offence becomes useless pretty quickly with both Calderon and Turkoglu on the floor at the same time. They do not compliment each other at all at either end of the floor. How to lose a 2 possession lead in the last minute 101.
Would have been nice to see Jose step up and at least make the ref decide on a charge/block call on Randolph's drive to tie it up at the end of the 4th. Instead he pulled the matador. |

If it wasn't for jose last night... it would have been a blowout for memphis,,,
his defense was really good,,, he got burnt when he matched up against rudy ,,, but what do you expect him to do,, Gay is a couple of inches taller than him,,, also, the raps were preoccupied with Gay and Mayo on the wing, which made Conley have an open path most of the time...Jose did his best to defend him but it is really hard when the help defense is late. stop criticizing Jose everytime this team loses.. I m so glad we kept him .. him and Jack make our backcourt so hard to deal with on most nights. |

Our Systems Journal paper and following series of papers in developerWorks shared IBM's own experiences in building the Situational Applications Environment (SAE) in IBM. They described both usage patterns and technologies that contributed to the current rise of community-driven SA development in the enterprise, and compared and contrasted it with the more traditional, corporate-focused SOA initiatives. In the second article we described the SAE architecture and different challenges we had to address in order to build it. In the final article we examined these applications that represent a wide variety of business challenges that SAs can be leveraged to solve.
In the enterprise of the future, the corporate IT role will change as it deals with the challenges and capitalizes on the opportunities arising from grassroots development trends. Corporate IT will gradually move from being the exclusive provider of enterprise systems to an enabler and facilitator of solutions built by self-reliant employees. I argue that this change is a necessity. The health, competitive power, and even survival of an enterprise will largely depend on its ability to understand and harness the power of knowledge workers, who are enabled to take responsibility for creating solutions that meet many of their business needs.

I am a land-based mammal. I swim just enough to keep from drowning. I do not float in water.
So when my editor Stephanie Barna forwarded me an email about Flyboarding, the newest, most physically improbable-looking watersport to hit Charleston, my first thought went something like this: It looks like a fun way to die. "You should do this!" Stephanie suggested cheerfully. "So scary."
A week later, against my better judgment, I found myself aboard a floating tiki hut moored in the Ashley River, a staging ground set up by local company Hydrofly Watersports for Flyboard expeditions. As a reporter, I was getting a free ride that would cost most consumers $95, so I suppose I should have been more grateful. But as I watched co-owner Sam Pannier strap his feet into the Flyboard's built-in boots, I couldn't help thinking it looked like the sort of contraption that nature uses to clean up the gene pool. I laughed nervously. "Sweet," I said, doing my best impression of a chillaxed extreme sports enthusiast.
- Jonathan Boncek
- James Stegall (pictured) and co-owner Sam Pannier promise it's not some crazy death sport
The Flyboard represents the cutting edge of watersport technology. French company Zapata Racing began developing prototypes in 2011, finally arriving at a market product that looks like a tiny wakeboard on the end of a fire hose. A 55-foot tube is attached to the business end of a high-powered jet ski — in Hydrofly's case, a 180-horsepower Waverunner FX Cruiser High Output —and all of that pressurized water gets pumped through the hose and out the bottom of the board in two gushing streams. One person sits on the jet ski and controls the water pressure while a second person harnesses all that power to perform superhuman stunts.
Before signing up to test my fate in the water, I did a little research. I watched some YouTube videos that showed spiky-haired men gyrating and flipping 20 feet in the air. They splashed bikini-clad girls who watched adoringly from atop a floating surfboard. Over a throbbing dubstep-lite soundtrack, the suntanned sea gods high-fived in midair and swooped in and out of the water with the muscular grace of dolphins. I felt like I needed a testosterone injection.
Then I comforted myself by reading the official Flyboard safety guide, available for download as a PDF on the Hydrofly Watersports website. "If you go deeper than 8 feet and you do not pressurize your ears, you can rupture your ear drums," the guide informed me. Another note: "Powering the throttle before the hose is fully extended could seriously cause injury to the Flyboard user." Oh, and this one: "The penetration of water through the orifices of the body during a fall may cause serious injuries."
Swallowing my self-preservation instinct, I called Hydrofly Watersports co-owner James Stegall to set up a trial run. "So," I said, as nonchalantly as possible, "it looks fun but also kind of ... dangerous."
"It kind of comes across as that," Stegall answered over the phone, "but it's basically a two-person operation, so you always have an instructor on the jet ski, which provides all the power. So if, at any point in time, it starts to look like you're headed into a gray area, we just let you down and you go right into the water." Stegall said he had seen about 100 people take Flyboard lessons so far, and none of them had gotten injured.

- Hydrofly's Kay Sommer takes a ride on the flyboard
Later, Pannier offered me these comforting words: "It's taken a little bit of time for people to realize it's not some crazy death sport."
Whew. I felt better already.
We agreed to meet on a Monday afternoon at Bristol Marina, a public dock on Lockwood Boulevard next to Brittlebank Park. Stegall shuttled me out on a motorboat to Hydrofly's floating platform, moored in the river behind the RiverDogs stadium, where I sat in a folding chair and watched as Pannier demonstrated the finer points of the Flyboard for me. Rising vertically from the river's surface like Iron Man, back rigid and arms at his side, he shot two stories into the air and executed several deft spin moves, angling the spray and flitting in and out of the water like some jet-powered river otter.
Back on the raft, Pannier helped me pick out a life vest, adjust the helmet, and lash the board to my feet with velcro straps. "You want it as tight as possible on your feet," he said, explaining that I would be controlling the thing entirely by shifting my balance.
"It's all in your toes," added Stegall, who had been cranking the jet ski engine for Pannier. "If you lean back on your heels too much, you'll fall in."
Pannier hopped on the jet ski, and I plunged into the river, lying on my stomach as the buoyant board lifted my feet near the surface. Pannier gently nudged the throttle and instructed me to try weaving around in an S pattern to get the feel of the jets.

Even this part felt unnatural. I was scooting along against the river current, towing a jet ski behind me and occasionally catching a mouthful of brine as the wind blew choppy waves in my face. Unsure what to do with my arms, I held them out in front of me like some lesser-known aquatic superhero.
After a few minutes of this, Pannier decided I was ready to try the real thing. "Arch your back to get the board underneath you," he shouted, then cranked the engine as I felt the twin jets driving me up out of the water. Panicking, I bent at the knees and flailed with my arms, rising a few feet before arching backward into the water and feeling the jets push me deeper and deeper. Pannier cut the power, and when I rose to the surface, he instructed me to lock my knees the next time.
Like the early space program, I had a lot of failed launches: bellyflops, cannonballs, headlong swan dives. One time I would put too much weight on my toes, and the next time I would overcompensate and put too much weight on my heels. Finally, Pannier told me not to focus on balancing, but instead to focus on steering the board in midair loops around the jet ski.
It worked. The steering was intuitive, and within 10 minutes after entering the water, I was soaring in lazy laps. I, whose most impressive aquatic feat to date had been catching a two-foot wave on a styrofoam boogie board and whose closest contact to extreme-sports machinery was on his uncle's riding lawnmower, was levitating on two supercharged columns of water.
"How high did I get?" I asked when I came down. "It felt like maybe 15 feet."
"Eh, more like eight," Pannier replied. "But still, you got it."
I went for another few laps around the jet ski, this time staying aloft for several minutes. Up there, away from the putter of the engine, all was quiet except for the rush of the cascades beneath my feet. I didn't feel like a hotshot, and suddenly this ride didn't feel like an extreme sport at all. There was no dubstep. I felt a breeze coming in from the harbor, leaned into it, and watched the cars darting silently over the Ashley River Memorial Bridges. The wind bristled the spartina grass along the far west bank. As a single dark cloud blew in over the horizon, I closed my eyes, said a little prayer, and dropped into the river.
