Michael says, "Hello, my name is Michael Proctor and I have been painting for competitions for about 4 years. I still consider myself a newbie compared to the awesome talent that appears on this Gallery; however, I am trying to catch up. I started painting a minis for Reaper a couple of years ago and while my most recent piece in the Gallery is probably my favorite at that moment, Marise Greyshroud (DHL 03308) will always hold a special place as it was not only the first piece I did for Reaper and it was also my very first commission piece." read more
Jason first began sculpting for Reaper in 1999 and quickly carved a niche for himself as a premier monster and animal sculptor. Since that time, Jason has moved into the player character side of miniatures, where his dwarves are perennial favorites amongst painters and gamers. read more

A quiet mountain towns bid for winter excitement proved successful Saturday as Silvertons infamous Blair Street was lined with as many as 2,000 spectators to watch the first days events of the fourth annual skijoring race. More events are scheduled today, starting at 11 a.m.
Silvertons version of the Scandinavian-based sport using horses pulling skiers on a rope through a timed course down Blair Street. Skiers and riders capture orange rings and credit for collecting them, or get docked if they miss or drop them.
The sport started in the 1940s, said one of the two-day races chief organizers, Pete Maisel. Maisel owns the Bent Elbow Hotel, Restaurant and Saloon, the races headquarters, and Maisel Excavation.
Maisel said years ago, Rob Conaty, who runs the Silverton Hostel, discussed starting a skijoring event when the Durango skijoring was discontinued. They wanted to have some entertainment in the winter, he said, which generally is slower for merchants who are open then.
Janice Sanders, owner of the Old Arcade Trading Co., took the opportunity to open for the weekend, though shes normally closed in the winter.
I think its awesome, Sanders said. Its exciting seeing something going on here in the winter, especially on Blair Street.
Sanders applauded the community and the organizers who worked together to get the town ready for the event.
Its been so exciting seeing the town crews and volunteers preparing Silverton for the race, she said.
Her store, known in part for its homemade fudge, is just a block from race headquarters.
Two of the skiers, Crystal Fankhauser and Mark Mastalski of Durango, were spending a romantic post-Valentines Day weekend in Silverton.
We saw (the Silverton) skijoring two years ago, Mastalski said. Hopefully, Ill be upright at the end.
The couple backcountry ski near Silverton as well as at Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort and Wolf Creek, Fankhauser said. She said she learned to ski in Wisconsin, so shes used to flat, icy courses.
Maisel said horses and their riders from the immediate area, as well as Mancos, Cortez, Bayfield, Farmington and Aztec competed.
Other event personnel included Laura Des Palmes and Cindy Bryant. Des Palmes said there were two classes for novice skiers and two for more-advanced skiers.
Both levels had two races each, which included a match race in which the rider and skier pair themselves up, and the draw, or second run, where different riders and skiers were partnered.
Each team had three runs for both the open and draw events.
Des Palmes said there is prize money for each day, split between the two days and between the team members (human only). Top team prizes Saturday were $800 for the open classes and $200 for novice classes.
Taking top honors in the Open Class were Jason Russell with Jeff Dahl riding Red Lodge at 17.74 seconds. Second place was nabbed by race co-organizer Conaty with Nic Howard riding Rowdy to a time of 18.77 seconds. Taking third place at 20.46 seconds was Calvin Hinkley being pulled by Billy Hibbler and his steed, Kelly.
In the Open Class Draw event, Dean Yeager topped out at No. 1 towed by Dahl and Red Lodge at 20.34 seconds. Calvin Hinkley with Tim McCarthy on Swagger skied to second place at 20.45 seconds, while posting third place were Sandy Young on Duke pulling Conaty.
Both Mastalski and Fankhauser did well on the first race day of their romantic weekend, being the only two skiers to finish the Novice Class, with Mastalski finishing first with rider Robin Cloar on Champ to finish at 25 seconds, and Fankhauser running with rider Richard Weber and Red taking second at 29.79 seconds. Two other teams were disqualified.
The Novice Class Draw was a faster race. Savannah McCarthy and Tank pulled Kevin Laidlaw to victory with a time of 21.91 seconds. Riding to second place at 22.39 were Weber and his horse Red towing Mastalski. In third at 23.30 seconds were Cloar on Champ and skier Baily Conaty.

Yeah, yeah he's a definite risk.
Who knows where his head's at and how long he can stay on the straight and narrow. I know its a division rival...and yeah he smoked himself out the NCAA. However, IMO, in the SEC and at LSU, smoking weed should be the least of anyone's concerns. All that said...MAN OH MAN is he just a football player, period.
I was a HUGE proponent of drafting him in round 2 or 3. So obviously I was a fan. Though, even I had forgotten how natural he is. He was great the other night, just great. Last week it came out that Tyrann has been clearly the best player at training camp. That statement doesn't seem too odd now.
Can he give Arians that Pac Man/Fisher spark? Who knows. But, they're going to give the Rams hell for 3rd place. I'm inclined to predict 8-8 for the Cards and 7-9 for the Rams.
That's my random no coffee musing.

Major League crew chief Tim McClelland recently took time to answer umpiring questions sent in by MLB.com users. A resident of West Des Moines, Iowa, McClelland received a B.A. in Recreation and Youth Leadership ('74) and a M.A. in Intramural Administration ('75) from Michigan State. The veteran of more than 20 years umpiring experience was behind the plate for David Wells' perfect game in 1998.
Are pitchers allowed to wear eye black while they are pitching?
-- P. Boardman
McClelland: It really doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't interfere with the hitter. There's no rule against it. So if he wants to wear it he can, but I don't know why he would want to. Actually very few players wear it now since they wear sunglasses, it's kind of a thing of the past, but there is no rule against it for pitchers.
In a recent Little League game, the bases were loaded with no one out. The batter walked and the runner at third didn't touch home plate. No one appealed, but as soon as the runner entered the dugout, the umpire called him out. The ensuing debate is -- doesn't the other team need to make the appeal?
-- Larry C.
McClelland: In Little League, I think the rules state that once he misses a base he is out. Those are different rules than we have in Major League Baseball. But I think in Little League and in high school - you would have to check - that once he misses a base an umpire can call him out immediately.
I am an umpire for Little League. The coach told me that ties go to the runner. I said the batter has to beat the throw to first because there are no such thing as ties. Who is right?
McClelland: That is exactly right. There are no ties and there is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner. But the rule book does say that the runner must beat the ball to first base, and so if he doesn't beat the ball, then he is out. So you have to make the decision. That's why umpires are paid the money they are, to make the decision on if he did or if he didn't. The only thing you can do is go by whether or not he beat the ball. If he did, then he is safe.
My husband and I were disagreeing on a play: You have less than two outs with a runner on second. The pitcher is in possession of the ball and the runner has started to steal third. The pitcher then throws to the batter, who pops out in the outfield. The question is, does the runner have to go back to second and tag up, or can he stay on third since he started running before the ball left the pitcher's hand? Thank you in advance.
-- Disagreeing husband and wife
McClelland: He has to go back to second and re-touch the bag. The team in the field can appeal it if he did not tag up. If he's stealing and is standing at third by the time the guy hits it, he still has to tag up. It really doesn't matter where he is at the time of the pitch.
I am a female and would like to be a professional umpire. I have a good eye, but I feel because I am a woman there will be opposition to my entry. What should I do? Has there ever been a female umpire?
-- Beth
McClelland: Actually I think there have been five. One made it all the way to Triple-A and got some Major League tryouts during Spring Training but just wasn't good enough to make that next step to the Major Leagues, just like a lot of the guys weren't. There is a young lady now working in the Florida State League in A-ball working her way up. I believe this is her third year in the minor leagues. Obviously her intent is to get to the big leagues, like every minor league umpire is.
The thing to do is go to umpire school, try your best, finish in the top ten percent and get put in the minor leagues. It's a long road to haul - I wouldn't want to wish it on a female, because not only do they have the complaints or problems you go through as an umpire, but then they have to deal with working in a male-dominated sport. But it can be done. There's no rule against it.
I'm an old catcher (78 years of age). Many years ago I was called for committing a "Catcher's Balk." I happened to move to the right of the plate just before the delivery of the pitch. Is this still in the rule book?
-- Al Arellano
McClelland: It is a balk if the catcher doesn't stay in the catcher's box until the pitcher delivers the ball. If he were to step out of the catcher's box - the little box behind home plate - before the pitcher delivers the ball it would be called a catcher's balk. The runners would advance.
As a matter of fact, I have never seen it called, it's one of those things you just kind of let slide. But it is in the rule book, we haven't updated the rule book in a long time. If it was called recently, it would be by an umpire taking the rule book to the letter of the law and sometimes we have to kind of overlook some things to make the game run smoother.
I have noticed throughout the years that several of you guys like to rest your hand on the catcher's back. Do you ask the catcher if this is OK or is this something he is expected to tolerate so the umpire is more comfortable and has a better view behind the plate?
-- Cindie from Cullman, Alabama
McClelland: When I first started doing it, I asked the catcher if it was bothering him and he said no, he really didn't feel it. When I do it, I put my hand on him very, very lightly, I am not sure now he even notices it's back there. But it kind of gives me an idea on if he's moving outside or inside so I know which direction he is going to go. I know a lot of guys do it but I have never heard of a catcher saying it bothers him. Their attention is on the pitcher and the pitch, calling it and catching it. If there was a time that an umpire pushed on him or was dragging him, then yes, [the catcher might have a complaint]. But in my 20 years I have never heard of a problem with it.
What is the best way to find out when and where an umpire crew will be? Do you stay in the same crew all year or change crews? Is there a way to get a message to you? (Nothing bad I promise). I like most of you!
-- Denise
McClelland: Once we are assigned to a crew, we are with them the whole year. There are rare circumstances where a guy would switch crews - maybe if a guy got injured and will be out all year, like if a crew chief was hurt, they could bring in someone, but that would mostly be the only time a crew would change. As far as getting a hold of us, the best way to do that is through the Major League office (c/o Major League Baseball, 245 Park Ave., New York, NY 10167) or by calling the ballpark so they can get a message to us.
As an umpire, what's the funniest thing anyone has ever said to you during an argument?
-- Mark Powers
McClelland: Oh boy. A long time ago at a game in Triple-A, Jack McKeon was the manager in Omaha. He came out and said "I know you got that call right, but I have a big, full house here and my team isn't playing very well. Can we just stand out here and argue a little bit? I am just going to stand here and bob my head and raise my hands a little bit, but I am not mad at you. I just want to put on a little bit of a show. When I'm done you run me and I'll go to the dugout."
I said, "That's fine, whatever you need to do, go ahead and do it." So I told him I had a good dinner last night at [restaurant] and asked if he's ever been there. He said no, and started kicking the dirt and raising his hands and said "but maybe I should try it out sometime! Well, I think this was enough, why don't you run me now." So I did and he walked away.
I am a 15-year-old umpire just starting out, how do I know what equipment is the best (chest protectors, face masks, plate shoes, etc.)?
McClelland: There's a lot of umpire equipment supply places. If you look in the back of "Referee" magazine there's a lot of advertisements in there for places to get equipment. Gerry Davis, who was a Major League umpire, owns Gerry Davis Equipment out of Wisconsin, and I am sure they have a website. He has top-of-the-line umpiring stuff.
Most sporting goods stores will have umpiring equipment or at least have a way to get it. Plus POS is a place where I get a lot of my equipment. You just have to do a little bit of investigating. Now in the computer age, I think if you did a search on umpire equipment you should be able to find some sites with information.

honor of first bringing this great truth before the Adventists through the medium of the press. His essay was dated Feb. 13, 1845. He presented briefly the claims of the Bible Sabbath, and showed that it was not changed by the Saviour, but was changed by the great apostasy. He then said:-- "Thus we see Dan.7:25, fulfilled, the little horn changing 'times and laws.' Therefore it appears to me that all who keep the first day for the Sabbath, are Pope's Sunday-keepers, and God's Sabbath breakers."[19] Within a few months many persons began to observe the Sabbath as the result of the light thus shed on their pathway. Eld. J.B. Cook, a man of decided talent as a preacher and a writer, was one of these early converts to the Sabbath. Elders Preble and Cook were at this time in full vigor of their mental powers, and were possessed of talent and a reputation for piety, which gave them great influence among the Adventists in behalf of the Sabbath. These men were called in the providence of God to fill an important place in the work of 886
Sabbath reform. But both of them, while preaching and writing in its behalf, committed the fatal error of making it of no practical importance. They had apparently the same fellowship for those who rejected the Sabbath that they had for those who observed it. Such a course of action produced its natural result. After two or three years of this kind of Sabbath observance, each of these men apostatized from it, and thenceforward used what influence they possessed in warring against the fourth commandment. The larger part of those who embraced the Sabbath from their labors were not sufficiently impressed with its importance to become settled and grounded in its weighty evidences, and, after a brief period, they turned back from its observance. But enough had been done to excite bitter opposition toward the Sabbath on the part of many Adventists, and to bring out the ingenious and plausible arguments by which men attempt to prove that God has abolished his own sacred law. 887

A tweet by Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson relates an exchange with Microsoft about Windows 8 and the indie sandbox game: "Got an email from microsoft, wanting to help 'certify' minecraft for win 8. I told them to stop trying to ruin the pc as an open platform." He follows this expressing his distaste for the process and the new OS: "I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along. Maybe we can convince a few people not to switch to win 8 that way.." Thanks Computer and Video Games.

Archival Research Area Rules
The objects housed in these collections are noncirculating materials. Some of them are in fragile condition and to a great extent irreplaceable; hence certain precautions are necessary.
- All briefcases, purses, coats, and other personal articles are to be deposited at the reference desk.
- Please sign in and out in the daily visit log each day when entering and departing. All papers must be inspected upon departure.
- No food, beverages, smoking, pets, or animals are permitted in any area of the Archives. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times.

Here are my system stats after I installed the Christmas present from my wife, a Vertex 4 512g ssd! Beats the crap out of 5.9! Now my overclocked quad-core is holding me back... Will this chasing the dragon madness never end??? ARGHHHH!!! And what's up with the stupid 7.8 on my RAM? I have 16 gigs 1600mhz. I suppose I'd need to get the 1866 or 2133 now... *sigh* Anyhoo, what a difference. And you weren't shittin'! Power-on to boot-up, complete: About 40 seconds! And everything is almost instant now! Best...Upgrade...EVER! And I re-ran the UNIGINE Heaven benchmark... And not a single stutter or hickup. Smooth as silk all the way through where before I used to get little pauses... Obvious hard drive stuff. Anyhoo, there ya go. Thought you be interested.

The customary identifying features are there to be seen, including the strongly emphasised front wings, the long, downward sloping bonnet with its power dome, and the characteristic three-piece air intakes, which are even larger and more dominant.
The front apron is new and powerfully styled – even when stationary, it alludes to the sheer strength of performance packed within. The LED main headlights have an optional LED matrix beam.
At the side, the sharpened lines of the roof descend sleekly all the way back to the roof spoiler. There are also newly styled doors and new, up to 22-inch wheels with – for the first time on the

Exquisite, sporty, ergonomic. Not least thanks to the flat, broad dashboard and ascending centre console for swift hand movements from the multifunction Sports steering wheel to the gear selector.
Our origins are in motorsport. This is where we learned how important it is to bring vehicle and driver as close together as possible. The interior is practically built around the driver. And is completely driver-centric as a result.
The same applies to the seats: sporty with a capital 'S'. And also applies to the newly designed rear seats, each of which also triggers motorsport emotions. Without having to sacrifice comfort.
New in all

For efficiency, all engines also come with electrical system recuperation, thermal management and the auto start/stop function with coasting function.
Another essential platform for enhanced efficiency and further improved performance:
Producing 404 kW (550 hp), the new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with twin-scroll turbines proves to be particularly powerful. The maximum torque of 770 Nm is achieved between 1,960 and 4,500 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes only 4.1 seconds.
The rear seats, like the front seats, are designed to be either particularly comfortable or especially sporty and, therefore, also feature elevated side bolsters. Now even more flexible, they can be folded down in the ratio 40 : 20 : 40, offer 160 mm of fore/aft adjustment and boast 10 adjustment positions for the backrest angle (to 29 degrees). Depending on the model, the luggage compartment has a resulting capacity of between 745 litres and a maximum of 1,710 litres.

Sometimes there are several ways to reach our destination. These could be in the form of new developments, such as adaptive air suspension or rear-axle steering.
Adaptive air suspension enhances both driving dynamics and comfort. The use of three-chamber technology makes it possible to enjoy an even better combination of comfort and sportiness, because the spring rate is adjusted to suit the driving mode and situation. The air suspension also features a self-levelling function for a constant vehicle position, PASM and ride-height adjustment – so that you can actively vary the ground clearance as required.
A new benchmark in performance and design – the
The innovation behind this brake is the unique combination of a cast-iron brake disc and a ceramic coating (tungsten carbide). Advantages over the conventional cast-iron brake of a similar design and size: even better responsiveness and particularly high fading stability. Thanks to this new surface coating, the brake disc remains glossy even after a long service life. Brake calipers painted in white lend this brake its distinctive look. It is fitted as standard to the
Optional rear-axle steering is available for the
PDCC is an active roll stabilisation system. It registers the lateral inclination of the body induced by cornering from the very outset and suppresses it accordingly. The system also reduces the vehicle's lateral instability on uneven ground. The electromechanical anti-roll bars are new. These respond faster than their hydraulic equivalents and work more efficiently. The result: improved performance.
The LED matrix beam deactivates specific segments of the permanent main-beam cone. 84 individually controlled LEDs adapt to the situation by switching off or dimming. Vehicles in front or in the oncoming lane are no longer dazzled, while the areas in between and to the side are still fully illuminated.
In addition to all the PDLS functions, PDLS Plus also features electronic cornering lights and an Intersection Assistantbased on navigation data. As you approach a crossroads or T junction, the Intersection Assistant activates the left and right cornering lights and the light cone becomes wider and shorter – for enhanced illumination of your surroundings.
The full-colour headup display projects all the information relevant for the journey directly into the driver's field of vision. The driver is therefore less distracted and can fully focus on the road ahead. The information displayed includes current speed, navigation, traffic sign recognition, telephone, off-road stats and warnings from the vehicle assistance systems.
The brightness automatically adapts to the external lighting conditions. There is also a night and day mode and the height of the display can be adjusted. The optional Sport Chrono Package allows additional information to be included in the headup display.

Depending on the distance from the vehicle ahead, the system controls the speed of your
If you have set a certain speed and approach a vehicle that is driving more slowly, the system will reduce your speed by decelerating or gently braking until the pre-set distance is reached. Your
The auto stop-and-go function enables the vehicle to automatically restart after braking to a halt. If the vehicle stops for more than three seconds, briefly touching the accelerator pedal or releasing the steering column lever are enough to restart the vehicle.
The system eases the burden on the driver by providing steering assistance, helping to keep the vehicle in lane.
Integrated traffic sign recognition uses camera images and navigation data to detect speed limits, 'no overtaking' zones and to infer local traffic codes (e.g. from boundary signs). Information is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The cornering notification enhances the traffic sign recognition function. Based on navigation system data and camera recognition of cornering road signs, the system displays an arrowed direction warning on the instrument cluster alerting you to tight corners. Long before you reach them. How do you benefit? Increased comfort. And reduced stress, not least on long cross-country journeys.
The standard collision and brake assist significantly reduces the risk of collision with cars, pedestrians or cyclists within the system limits.
With the help of the front camera, the system detects an imminent collision with cars, pedestrians or cyclists and alerts the driver by means of a visual and acoustic warning. And possibly a brake jolt, if the vehicle approaches cars, pedestrians or cyclists too quickly. The driver's own braking is then reinforced, down to a complete halt if necessary. If the driver fails to respond, an emergency stop is automatically initiated to avoid a collision or reduce its impact.
When driving at night, Night Vision Assist provides the driver with information even beyond the range of the headlights. An infrared camera detects pedestrians or larger animals before they are illuminated. In combination with PDLS Plus, the marker light function briefly flashes the headlight at the pedestrian on the pavement or in the carriageway three times to alert the driver.
Quiet, please, as we introduce a total output of 1,455 watts, 21 individually controlled loudspeakers including an active subwoofer with 400-watt class D digital amplifier, two-way centre system and a total diaphragm surface area of more than 2,500 cm². Special air motion transformer tweeters ensure unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted high-frequency sound reproduction with excellent level stability.
All loudspeaker housings are perfectly matched and deliver superior bass foundation, definition and precision. The result is a natural and richly textured spatial sound, even at top volume. Particularly impressive is the new 3D sound experience, created by the loudspeakers integrated into the roof pillars and by the use of a special Auro 3D algorithm. The Sound Enhancer optimises the quality of music in compressed data format. The system also blends impeccably into the overall interior aesthetic thanks to the
The BOSE® Surround Sound System features 14 amplifier channels and offers a total output of 710 watts. Fourteen loudspeakers including a separate subwoofer ensure balanced, faithfully reproduced acoustics. BOSE® SoundTrue® enhancement technology delivers even better audio quality and dynamics for compressed file formats such as MP3. The patented AudioPilot® Noise Compensation Technology continuously measures the ambient noise inside the vehicle and automatically adapts music playback so that a consistent sound is maintained.
The standard Sound Package Plus provides excellent sound: ten loudspeakers with an output of 150 watts. The amplifier integrated into PCM optimally adapts the acoustics in the vehicle interior to the driver and front passenger.
