After a tumultuous 2011 for Trinidad and Tobago football, interim senior national coaches Hutson Charles and Angus Eve are hoping to bring back the old time days.
T&T are looking to get the national football programme re-started after a two-month lay-off—having crashed out of 2014 World Cup qualifying in the first round—with new coaches, technical staff and a different squad.
With his first outing as coach against Finland on Sunday coming fast and furious, little more than a week since he was confirmed to the position at a T&T Football Federation (TTFF) executive meeting, Charles insists he and Eve will be taking things slowly, trying to build a competitive team.
"(We're just) taking it one step at a time," Hutson told the media at yesterday morning's training session at Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.
"Some of the bigger (international) teams (don't) want to play against us. But whoever we get, that's who we've got to work (with). The most important thing is trying to mould this young bunch into a unit that can go out there and express themselves the way we used to in the years gone by."
Charles's philosophy will be to focus on "discipline" and a different brand of football, something the public "can identify with".
Said Charles: "We have some young, exciting players and we want to showcase their talent against the Finland team. What we try to do is install a lot of discipline in our football and hopefully we can put on a big show, but we still have a ways to go."
The former national midfielder is excited with the potential of his squad. Many of them are young players earning a call-up after notable performances in the Digicel Pro League, such as San Juan Jabloteh striker Willis Plaza and Defence Force forward Richard Roy.
Others, like midfielders Shane De Silva and Kevin Molino and left-back Akeem Adams, are members of the Trinidad and Tobago Under-23 team, but Molino and Adams have senior team experience as well.
The elder statesmen include Caledonia AIA striker Devon Jorsling, T&TEC goalkeeper Marvin Phillip and W Connection midfielder Clyde Leon, a likely candidate for captain.
"So far the combination that we have, I'm quite satisfied with it," said Charles.
"(They're) a young bunch, but (with) a lot of experience," he added. "The younger players, they've been part of two World Cups, they have a lot of international caps under their belts. With that, together with the seasoned players, I think we have a nice group, a nice combination there."
Charles considers it an "honour" to assist the team in their rebuilding period and hopes the players will give a good showing. They were encouraging in an intense training session yesterday in the blazing Couva sun, with both Charles and Eve guiding the players from the middle.
The players were high-energy and enthusiastic in the session, a fact that was not lost on Charles.
"They are here now and they are hungry and I think they will do good, because the desire and hunger is there. They will do well," he assured.
The Finland match is just the start of T&T's preparation for the Caribbean Football Union Digicel Cup later this year, after twice successively failing to reach the latter stages of the tournament and qualifying for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
And Charles is pleading to the Trinidad and Tobago public for "patience" as they try to rebuild.
"This is a new group, a young group that we're trying to mould to something," he reasoned. "It won't be just this game...it will take some time to come.
"What we're asking the fans to be is a little patient as we try to mould this team to take us into the future."

Obermeyer Volt Pant Novelty
Sorry, currently out of stock
The Novelty Volt pant collection offers a diverse assortment of freeform prints. The 100% polyester stretch fabric is critically seam sealed insuring weather tight seams. Our original I-Grow™ Extended Wear System has built-in technology to increase cuff length by 2 inches. The strong weave fabric is coated with HydroBlock® Sport 10,000mm weatherproofing and filled with 80 gram premium insulation. Technical features include adjustable suspenders, reflective trims, double layer reinforced pant hems, inseams, and scuff guards with water-resistant powder cuffs, and a fleece lined waist.
HydroBlock® Sport: Obermeyer independently third party tests all of its technical fabrics for performance verification. Our high performance specialty fabrics use fully coated hydrophobic laminations and a superior DWR polymer coating for stain protection and coating integrity. HydroBlock® Sport resists up to 10,000mm before water penetration while allowing 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through within a 24-hour time frame
Obermeyer Authentic I-Grow: An Obermeyer original. Our kids' garments are designed with our patented 'I-Grow' feature. Our innovative 'I-Grow' system features a simple way of increasing the longevity of a child's garment. By simply snipping the colored threads, you can lengthen the sleeves by 11/2" and the pant cuffs up to two inches. We can think of no better way to support a childs growth spurts
Full-Motion™ Critical Seam Sealing: Obermeyer has tested and determined construction seams which are critical to the overall weatherproof performance of an outerwear garment. Through pattern mapping we are able toto offer the optimum level of protection, minimizing the garments interior exposure to the elements.
Double layer seat and knees: Pants have several regions which are exposed to wear and tear. We have sewn double layer fabric with reinforced seams on these key areas. The seat needs to be well insulated, waterproof, and durable for when you are sitting on a chairlift or in the snow. The knees flex under athletic activity causing repeated motions that wear on top of the kneecap fabric. Wherever your passion takes you, weve got you covered.
Reinforced pant hems, inseams, and scuffguards: Active pants take a lot of abuse. The legs move in very dynamic motion and can undergo rather challenging circumstances with ski boot buckles, sharp edges from boards and skis all wearing on the durability of the pant construction. Reinforcement throughout the pants hems and inseams as well as an inner scuffguards equips the pant construction to be as durable as possible.

I am writing this while sort of kind of out of comfort zone. I am on a train coming home from the BTS concert and boy was that a trip. I expect I have either already posted about my trip or it is coming up soon.
Comfort Zones are Comfortable~
But something I couldn't help but think about while on this trip was comfort zones. And how often people are telling me I need to get out of my comfort zone. And to a certain degree, I agree with them. But sometimes I can't help to think about what is wrong with being comfortable. It isn't as if I don't live out of my box of a bedroom and don't leave my house for months at a time.
So what I don't go further than a 5-mile radius. If everything I need is there what is the point.
I think this, then my mind goes "Because there is so much more out there. There is so much more to experience and explore. And you love to travel. Or at least the idea of traveling." And here is when my conundrum starts, and I don't know how to resolve it.
Within the past few months, I have already done a few things way, way outside of my comfort zone. Like driving into Pontiac for my friend's show. There was no way I was going to miss it and it was one of the best nights of my life. But I was fucking terrified of driving there. And then on the way home, the weather got nasty and ughhh. But I did it and everything was fine.
Anxiety Worries~
There is an element of my anxiety playing a role in this. I recognize and acknowledge that most of my fear is irrational but that doesn't mean I can just let it go. And that is where the attractiveness of comfort zones lies. Let me be comfortable. Let me feel relaxed. Let me not stress and worry about the insignificant details that don't matter to anyone but my overactive mind.
I know that it doesn't make sense. I know everything will be ok. I know that. But my mind still overthinks, my heart still races, I still panic. And then I am ok. It is a process. I haven't learned to avoid it completely, so I just accept that it will happen and work through it knowing I will be ok.
Travel To and Fro~
I have always loved the idea of travel. And I say the idea of travel mainly because I tend to get travel sick. Never full on sick, but the nausea and headaches and jet leg come at me like a freight train. And like I said, I get anxious easily. But who doesn't want to see the world and experience and learn about new cultures?
In the past two years or so I have taken four trips that have pushed me out of my comfort zone in one way or another. I traveled on a plane alone to visit my best friend, first in Connecticut, the second time we meet up in Portland. This was my first time navigating an airport on my own, and I was freaking out the entire time about security. Just because I was. It was totally fine.
Then in November of last year, I took my first train to Chicago to see my favorite KPop group B.A.P perform. That one was a little more intense as I was completely solo. No friends, nothing. There are perks of traveling alone. I don't have to worry about making a fool of myself when I have a freakout. But then I tend to freak out just a little more when I am on my own.
And then the most recent was my trip to Chicago (again) to see BTS. I was nervous about some of it only because I was with my friend and felt responsible for both of us since I had been here previously. And everything turned out totally fine. We had a great time, nothing went wrong. (Except being next to a train track (which wasn't too bad) and a comedy club that put a fucking table in front of our door…) I felt like I let loose a little more and just enjoyed myself. It was nice.
It's OK
I guess the point of me writing this post was to acknowledge that while I love my comfort zones and I doubt I'll be leaving them extensively anytime soon, I feel fewer worries and stressed out when I do or when I will.
And for anyone else out there who just really likes their comfort zone, that is totally fine! Take it one step at a time and when you're ready you'll know. And then you'll be unstoppable.
What was your first experience out of your comfort zone? Let me know down below!

How much power would a grow tent use 4 a 2 plant setup. Can ne body help
It actually depends on what kind of lighting your going to use
Well not sure. Don't know much about the indoor grow. I would be after something that works n doesn't chew power. Suggestions welcome
Led lights save other accessories ? But you have to determine on what you can afford ? I bought a 24x24x54 tent setup with dwc bucket , led light , air pump , and the techna-flora recipe for success nutrient package for $500 . The light was okay , but as a beginner I was anxious of seeing quick results which by no means comes when growing . It requires patience and lots of it . So being that I was anxious I thought it could be the lights that was causing the slow growth . Need to say , the light would have worked , but not in record time . I research YouTube and discovered the Kind led light , the California solar storm led light , black dog , and Advance LED lighting , did a comparison from research studies , and bought the new series XTE 350 dimmeable control 5 watt Cree LED light , and I could not have made a better choice . It by far has out done the competition easily . It's pricy , but for quality and quantity it will cost somewhere . The blue spectrum for vegging is awesome during veg for very vigorous leaf growth . Have not got to flowering yet , which is approaching this week . I'm considering a flush with sledgehammer by fox farm , and than a feed with ILGM nutrients which is totally worth every penny and time consuming wait . The cap of the nutrients is an almost automatic measurement for plants . I had all kind of nutrient issues using hot soil for seedlings , and over watering , and the fox farm nutrient trio , which some people have many successful grows under belts with the product , but than in between the issues , I waited time enough for soil to dry , and started ILGM grow in the 4 week and I could be more happy with the results , the plant took off , revived and now I have no room to flower my first stress plant and the four little guys that is approaching they 5 week in the same small tent space . I know I'm long written , but I'm saving concerning questions . The advance led light is a very well built product with a phenomenal warranty , and it out due any other light 14.71 par to average of 9.71 par . At first my height was way off , until I watch ice mud on YouTube and finally found the sweet spot , and it's definitely giving me hope after 3 weeks of bad migraines and frustration because this is a damn weed and should not be that complicated to grow . My suggestions ? Get advance light or any equivalent , Roberts 2 best strains of auto's with highest thc and put seed in the pot it will finish in and watch the magic happen every day , you cannot get it more easily trust me . But if you decide to battle through a moderate strain , less is more when it comes to nutrients unless the plant say so , and learn to listen to what the leaves say about what's need under the soil or in the hydro reservoir , and fight through the learning curve of not knowing . Latewood , Macgyver Stoner are very good at responding and helping through a support ticket if you have issues , and a few more guys that floats on the ILGM forums who know what they doing or have some experience . Good luck , and choose wisely on accessories , because the worst thing to me is to budget to start , and not have what you need in the middle of growing , pay it forward and buy it once so the grow can pay for itself . If you go to my thread …"having issues like most beginners you will see the stress and the achievement from the ILGM family of growers and the much needed love my plants was begging for as I did not know what I didn't know , "Still learning " , but have better hopes . Be careful of choosing lights that have no details of testing from China is what I was told . Last but not lest the advance led light finished to harvest 2 weeks ahead of all the competitors .
I think my light draws 22 kilo watts , which is less than a refrigerator ?
A 1000 watt HID lamp draws about 500watts; Similar to a large PC. I run lamps from 200watt to 1000 watt, and the results far outweigh the small jump[ in my electric bill.

Padraig Pearses and Roscommon Gaels will contest this year's Roscommon SFC decider.
Padraig Pearses withstood a strong second-half showing by Boyle to prevail on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-14.
Ronan Daly and Tom Butler netted first-half goals for the winners and they led by 2-5 to 0-5 at the change of ends.
Hubert Darcy raised their third green flag eight minutes after the resumption to parachute them into an eight point lead (3-6 to 0-7) and they held on at the end for a two-point winning margin.
Earlier in the day, Roscommon Gaels – who lost out to St Brigid's in the final two years ago - overcame Strokestown by 1-13 to 0-10.
They put down a large deposit on their final ticket during a first-half which saw them build up a 0-9 to 0-1 lead by the halfway stage.
Strokestown managed to put some respectability on the scoreboard after the resumption but they had left themselves with too big a mountain to climb.Tweet

Frank Frazetta, Illustrator, Dies at 82; Helped Define Comic Book Heroes By BRUCE WEBER and DAVE ITZKOFF Published: May 10, 2010

Frank Frazetta, an illustrator of comic books, movie posters and paperback book covers whose visions of musclebound men fighting with swords and axes to defend scantily dressed women helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, died on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla. He was 82. Enlarge This Image Frazetta Properties. LLC
Mr. Frazetta in 1994. Enlarge This Image Frazetta Properties. LLC
Frank Frazetta's defining cover for "Conan the Adventurer."
The cause was complications from a stroke, said Rob Pistella and Stephen Ferzoco, Mr. Frazetta's business managers.
Mr. Frazetta was a versatile and prolific comic book artist who, in the 1940s and '50s, drew for comic strips like Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" and comic books like "Famous Funnies," for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer Buck Rogers.
A satirical advertisement Mr. Frazetta drew for Mad earned him his first Hollywood job, the movie poster for "What's New Pussycat?" (1965), a sex farce written by Woody Allen that starred Peter Sellers. In 1983 he collaborated with the director Ralph Bakshi to produce the animated film "Fire and Ice."
His most prominent work, however, was on the cover of book jackets, where his signature images were of strikingly fierce, hard-bodied heroes and bosomy, callipygian damsels in distress. In 1966, his cover of "Conan the Adventurer," a collection of four fantasy short stories written by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp, depicted a brawny long-haired warrior standing in repose on top of a pile of skeletons and other detritus, his sword thrust downward into the mound, an apparently naked young woman lying at his feet, hugging his ankle.
The cover created a new look for fantasy adventure novels and established Mr. Frazetta as an artist who could sell books. He illustrated many more Conan books (including "Conan the Conqueror," "Conan the Usurper" and "Conan the Avenger") and works by Edgar Rice Burroughs (including "John Carter and the Savage Apes of Mars" and "Tarzan and the Antmen").
"Paperback publishers have been known to buy one of his paintings for use as a cover, then commission a writer to turn out a novel to go with it," The New York Times reported in 1977, the same year that a collection of his drawings, "The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta," sold more than 300,000 copies.
Frank Frazzetta was born in Brooklyn on Feb. 9, 1928, and as a boy studied painting at a local art school. (Early in his career, he excised one z from his last name because "with one z it just looked better," Mr. Pistella said. "He said the two z's and two t's was too clumsy.")
Mr. Frazetta began drawing for comic books of all stripes — westerns, mysteries, fantasies — when he was still a teenager. He was also a good enough baseball player to try out for the New York Giants.
The popularity of Mr. Frazetta's work coincided with the rise of heavy metal in the early 1970s, and his otherworldly imagery showed up on a number of album covers, including Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" and Nazareth's "Expect No Mercy." Last year, Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist for Metallica, bought Mr. Frazetta's cover artwork for the paperback reissue of Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Conqueror" for $1 million.
Mr. Frazetta married Eleanor Kelly, known as Ellie, in 1956. She served as his occasional model and as his business partner; in 2000 she started a small museum of her husband's work on their property in East Stroudsburg, Pa. She died last year.
Mr. Frazetta is survived by three sisters, Carol, Adel and Jeanie; two sons, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, known as Frank Jr., and William Frazetta, both of East Stroudsburg; two daughters, Heidi Grabin, of Englewood, Fla., and Holly Frazetta, of Boca Grande, Fla.; and 11 grandchildren.
After Ellie Frazetta's death, her children became embroiled in a custodial dispute over their father's work, and in December, Frank Jr. was arrested on charges of breaking into the family museum and attempting to remove 90 paintings that had been insured for $20 million. In April, the family said the dispute over the paintings had been resolved, and the Monroe County, Pa., district attorney said he would drop the charges.
Frank Frazetta, Fantasy Illustrator, Dies at 82 By DAVE ITZKOFF
Frank FrazettaFrank Frazetta The painting "Death Dealer," a representative work by the artist Frank Frazetta.Legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta died this morning at age 82. The cause of death was a stroke.
Born in 1928, Frazetta started drawing comic books at age 16, working on the pages of EC and National Comics by the early 1950s, even turning down offers from larger companies such as Walt Disney, who approached him many times. In the mid 1950s, Frazetta was an assistant to the legendary Al Capp who wrote and drew Li'l Abner.George Lucas once said that Frazetta's work on Buck Rogers was the inspiration for Star Wars.He also created the basic look of Warren's Vampirella,that other artist drew later on,in the publications first issues.Vampirella's buxom curvy figures was a tradmark of Frank Frazetta's style.
But it was in the world of paperback novel covers where Frazetta had his biggest impact, especially in the fantasy realm. In the 1960s and beyond, Frazetta drew covers for paperback editions of Conan, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and others.His look influenced other artist like the late Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum while drawing the Marvel Comic version of John Carter,Warlord of Mars
The distinctive look of these covers — bold, dark, and often openly sensual — would help visually define the fantasy genre for decades to come.
As Frazetta's reputation grew, he worked for other entertainment mediums, drawing the covers for albums by bands such as Nazareth and Molly Hatchet. He also helped create the look of Ralph Bakshi's animated 1983 movie Fire and Ice, now a cult classic.
Frazetta was the subject of a 2003 documentary, Frank Frazetta: Painting with Fire.
5:17 p.m. | Updated Frank Frazetta, an illustrator whose vivid colors and striking brushstrokes conjured up fantastic worlds of musclebound heroes fighting with broad swords and battle axes to defend helpless women from horrible beasts, died on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla. He was 82.The death, caused by a stroke, was confirmed by Rob Pistella and Steve Ferzoco, his business managers. In a telephone interview, Mr. Pistella said that Mr. Frazetta, who had a history of strokes, had returned from a Mother's Day dinner with his family on Sunday night and fell ill. Emergency medical services were called and Mr. Frazetta was rushed to the hospital, where he died.
In the 1940s and 50s, Mr. Frazetta drew for comic strips like Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" and comic books like "Famous Funnies," for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer Buck Rogers. He also had his own newspaper strip that ran from 1952 to 1953, called "Johnny Comet" (later retitled "Ace McCoy").
He drew the movie poster for "What's New Pussycat?" in 1964, and hit his stride executing detailed illustrations of pulp heroes like Conan the Barbarian and John Carter of Mars for their comic magazines and books. His realistic renderings of otherworldly scenarios (and barely clad women) made him the ideal candidate to illustrate the album covers for popular heavy metal albums like Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" and Nazareth's "Expect No Mercy."
In November, Wired.com reported, Mr. Frazetta's cover artwork for the paperback reissue of "Conan the Conqueror" by Robert E. Howard sold to an unnamed collector for $1 million.

Frank Frazetta, one of the most renowned fantasy illustrators of the 20th century, died this afternoon at a hospital near his home in Boca Grande, Fla. He was 82.
Frazetta had been out to dinner with his daughters Sunday but suffered a stroke at his Boca Grande home later that night and was taken to Lee Memorial Hospital, manager Rob Pistella said. A hospital spokeswoman confirmed the death, as did his daughter Heidi Frazetta Grabin. Related Photo Galleries

"He's going to be remembered as the most renowned fantasy illustrator of the 20th Century," Pistella said.
Frazetta created covers and illustrations for more than 150 books and comic books, along with album covers, movie posters and original paintings. His illustrations of Conan the Barbarian, Tarzan, Vampirella and other characters influenced many later artists.Master fantasy illustrator Frank Frazetta only really commissioned two of his paintings to be used for metal album covers, Yngwie J. Malmsteen's 2001 disc 'War to End All Wars' (pictured above) and Wolfmother's 2006 self-titled offering, which is only borderline metal, at that.
But there's no question that the axe-swinging warriors, sword-stabbing mutants, wild beasts and busty, scantily clad women of Frazetta's world were a key inspiration for countless sorcery-obsessed rockers, including Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, Manowar and Metallica, whose lead guitarist Kirk Hammett reportedly recently bought the paperback reissue of Robert E. Howard's 'Conan the Conqueror' art work for $1 million.
Sadly, Frazetta died in Fort Myers, Florida yesterday after suffering a massive stroke. he was 82. Washingtonpost.com has printed a thoughtful in memory piece on the artist who provided the only real reason to buy Molly Hatchet albums. RIP, Fran
Frazetta owned a home in Marshalls Creek, where his family operated a museum displaying his works. The artwork was recently moved to another location, and will be put on tour some time in the future.
His children have fought over an estate estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars, filing lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Florida.
His son, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, 52, was charged in December with using a backhoe to break into the family-run art museum and trying to remove 90 paintings insured for $20 million. The charges were dropped late last month after two days of mediation produced a truce.
Frazetta, whose stunning and energetic images influenced a generation, was regarded as one of the world's premier fantasy and comic book artists. His work dates back to the 1940s, when he did the "Li'l Abner" comic strip and assisted Harvey Kurtzman on Little Annie Fanny for a time. His artwork appeared in many magazines, and he created art and illustrations for more than 150 books, album covers and movie posters.His artwork was collected in various art books by Ballatine and

====Biography Early life and career====
Born Frank Frazzetta in Brooklyn, New York City, he removed one "z" from his last name early in his career to make his name seem less "clumsy".[2] The only boy among four children, he spent much time with his grandmother, who began encouraging him in art when he was two years old. He recalled in 2010, a month before his death,
When I drew something, she would be the one to say it was wonderful and would give me a penny to keep going. Sometimes I had nothing left to draw on but toilet paper. As I got older, I started drawing some pretty wild things for my age. I remember the teachers were always mesmerized by what I was doing, so it was hard to learn anything from them. So I went to art school when I was a little kid, and even there the teachers were flipping out.[3]
At age eight, Frazetta attended the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts,[4] a small art school run by instructor Michael Falanga. "[H]e didn't teach me anything, really," Frazetta said in 1994. "He'd come and see where I was working, and he might say, 'Very nice, very nice. But perhaps if you did this or that.' But that's about it. We never had any great conversations. He spoke very broken English. He kind of left you on your own. I learned more from my friends there."[5]
In 1944, at age 15, Frazetta, who had "always had this urge to be doing comic books",[5] began working in comics artist Bernard Baily's studio doing pencil clean-ups.[4] His first comic-book work was inking the eight-page story "Snowman", penciled by John Giunta, in the one-shot Tally-Ho Comics, published by Swappers Quarterly and Almanac / Baily Publishing Company.[6] It was not standard practice in comic books during this period to provide complete credits, so a comprehensive listing of Frazetta's work is difficult to ascertain. His next confirmed comics work are two signed penciled-and-inked pieces in Prize Comics' Treasure Comics #7 (July 1946): the four-page "To William Penn founder of Philadelphia..." and the single page "Ahoy! Enemy Ship!", featuring his character Capt. Kidd Jr.[7]
Frazetta was soon drawing comic books in many genres, including Westerns, fantasy, mystery, and historical drama. Some of his earliest work was in funny animal comics, which he signed as "Fritz".[citation needed] In the early 1950s, he worked for EC Comics, National Comics, (including the superhero feature "Shining Knight"), Avon Comics, and several other comic book companies. Much of his work in comic books was done in collaboration with friend Al Williamson and mentor[citation needed] Roy Krenkel.
Noticed[citation needed] because of his work on the Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies, Frazetta started working with Al Capp on Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner. Frazetta was also producing his own strip, Johnny Comet at this time, as well as assisting Dan Barry on the Flash Gordon daily strip.[citation needed] He married Massachusetts native Eleanor Kelly in New York City in November 1956.[citation needed] The two would have four children: Frank Jr., Billy, Holly and Heidi.[citation needed]
In 1961, after nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to comic books. Eventually he joined Harvey Kurtzman on the bawdy parody strip Little Annie Fanny in Playboy magazine.[citation needed] [edit] Hollywood and book covers
In 1964, Frazetta's painting of Beatle Ringo Starr for a Mad magazine ad parody caught the eye of United Artists studios. He was approached to do the movie poster for What's New Pussycat?, and earned the equivalent of his yearly salary in one afternoon.[citation needed] He did several other movie posters.
Frazetta also produced paintings for paperback editions of adventure books. His interpretation of Conan visually redefined the genre of sword and sorcery, and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists.[citation needed] From this point on, Frazetta's work was in great demand. His covers were used for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books. His cover art only coincidentally matched the storylines inside the books, as Frazetta once explained: "I didn't read any of it... I drew him my way. It was really rugged. And it caught on. I didn't care about what people thought. People who bought the books never complained about it. They probably didn't read them."[8]
After this time, most of Frazetta's work was commercial in nature, including paintings and illustrations for movie posters, book jackets, and calendars. Frazetta's commercial work includes several cover paintings and a few comic stories for the Warren Publishing horror magazines Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella.
Once Frazetta secured a reputation, movie studios lured him to work on animated movies. Most, however, would give him participation in name only, with creative control held by others.[citation needed] In the early 1980s, Frazetta worked with producer Ralph Bakshi on the feature Fire and Ice, released in 1983. Many of the characters and most of the story were Frazetta's creations.[citation needed] The movie proved a commercial disappointment,[citation needed] and Frazetta returned to his roots in painting and pen-and-ink illustrations.Frazetta once commented,in the pages of the comic fan mazazine Amazing heroes,that he got out of comics and into book cover illustration ,and never looked back.He had no time to appear at Comic Book Conventions,when asked and would rather spend time drawing and painting,staying his family,than spend alot of time with an industry,he had little time for now.He also said,he did care for casting of Arnold Shwartzennegger as Conan and knew several guys back Brooklyne,New York who beat the hell out of that guy in the movie.
Frazetta's paintings have been used by a number of recording artists as cover art for their albums. Molly Hatchet's first three albums feature "The Death Dealer", "Dark Kingdom", and "Berserker", respectively. Dust's second album, Hard Attack, features "Snow Giants". Nazareth used "The Brain" for its 1977 album Expect No Mercy. Frazetta also created new cover artwork for Buddy Bought the Farm, the second CD of the surf horror band "The Dead Elvi".[citation needed]
In 2008, the cover illustration to the Burroughs paperback "Escape on Venus" sold at auction for $251,000.[citation needed] Frazetta retained the original Conan paintings, and long refused to part with them. Many were displayed at the Frazetta Museum in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. In 2009, Frazetta's "Conan the Conqueror" painting was the first to be offered for sale, and was purchased by a private collector for $1 million.[8] [edit] Later life and career
Frazetta's primary commercial works were in oil, but he also worked with watercolor, ink, and pencil alone. In his later life, Frazetta was plagued by a variety of health problems, including a thyroid condition that went untreated for many years. In the 2000s, a series of strokes impaired Frazetta's manual dexterity to a degree that he switched to drawing and painting with his left hand.[9] He was the subject of the feature documentary Frank Frazetta: Painting With Fire (2003).
The Comic Art of Frank Frazetta (2007) Frank Frazetta's creative skill has been showcased in dozens of volumes of published work - but never before have his seminal comic book stories been collected into a retrospective volume. Whether thrilling, frightening, heartbreaking, or funny, the one constant in Frazetta's all-too-brief career in comics was that they were gorgeously drawn. Including, Thun'da, the only full-length comic Frazetta ever illustrated, all of his romance stories, and the last story he drew before embarking on a painting career, The Comic Art of Frank Frazetta reminds fans not only of his tremendous talent and versatility, but also of his profound influence on other artists and the field as a whole.
As of 2009, Frazetta lived on a 67-acre (27 ha) estate in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. A small museum, open to the public, is maintained on the estate. On July 17, 2009, his wife and business partner, Eleanor "Ellie" Frazetta, died after a year-long battle with cancer. He then hired Rob Pistella and Steve Ferzoco to handle his business affairs.
On December 9, 2009, Frazetta's son, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, 52, known as Frank Jr., was arrested for attempting to steal approximately 90 paintings from the Frazetta museum.[10] He was accompanied by Frank Bush, 49, and Kevin Clement, 54.[10] His wife, Lori Frazetta, told state police that Frank Jr. and Ellie had run the family business until Ellie's death, when infighting over the paintings began.[10] The son maintains he was trying to prevent the paintings from being sold, per the wishes of his father, who he says had given him power of attorney over his estate.[11] After siblings Billy Frazetta, Holly Frazetta Taylor, and Heidi Grabin filed a lawsuit against Frank Jr. in March 2010, claiming misappropriation of their father's work, which they said the artist had transferred to a company controlled by those three, the family issued a statement on April 23, 2010, that said, "all of the litigation surrounding his family and his art has been resolved. All of Frank's children will now be working together as a team to promote his ... collection of images...."[12] The Monroe County district attorney later that day said he would drop theft and burglary charges against Frazetta Jr. at the request of family members.[12]
Frazetta died of a stroke on May 10, 2010, in a hospital near his residence in Florida.[1] [13] [edit] Influence Wiki letter w.svg This section requires expansion.
Frazetta has influenced many artists within the genre of fantasy and science fiction. Yusuke Nakano, a lead artist for Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series, cites Frazetta as an influence.[14] Fantasy artist and musician Joseph Vargo cites Frazetta as a primary influence, and his art calendars since 2000 mark Frazetta's birthday.[15] [edit] List of works [edit]

Stephanie Lee Receives $297,175 NSF Grant
The grant will fund research on twisted organic semiconductor crystals for flexible electronics
Dr. Stephanie Lee, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, was recently awarded a NSF grant in the amount of $297,175. This grant is part of a larger New York University-Stevens Institute of Technology collaborative project with chemistry professor Bart Kahr totaling $613,216 over a three- year period. Their project, entitled "Charge Transport in Helicoidal Crystals," explores a little- known phenomenon in which many crystals can twist as they grow. Adding a new dimension to materials design, the periodic twisting of crystals may unlock materials properties that up to now have been inaccessible.
Lee's project will examine charge transport and the conversion of sunlight into electricity in twisted organic crystals grown by the Kahr group. Already, her team has discovered huge improvements in the conductivity of twisted organic semiconductor crystals compared to straight crystals. Leveraging unique resources at Stevens, including a newly installed conductive atomic force microscope purchased through the PSEG Foundation gift to advance energy innovation at Stevens and a low-frequency Raman spectrometer purchased through a Bridging grant, Lee aims to uncover the fundamental science of optoelectronic processes in twisted crystals. Ultimately, this research will propel emerging technologies based on organic semiconductors, including flexible, lightweight and inexpensive electronics and solar panels, closer to commercialization.

Squad news
22 Aug 2017
Deportivo improved compared to the previous defeat with Real Madrid, Andone didnt have his night and the three debutants left a positive impression. The Galicians have missed 6 of their last 7 penalties.
The seven notes from the game with Real Madrid:
1- Defeat, but positive feelings: It is not encouraging to start a league season losing 0-3 at home, but taking in mind that the rival was a Real Madrid coming from winning everything, the true is that it could have been worse. And its that Depor didnt play a bad game, it was more dangerous in the first half and created more scoring opportunities than the rival. Truly in some stages there was a disconnection between defence an attack, something that only accentuated the huge ball possession for the visiting side, but the impression left was much better than the disaster of last season facing Madrids replacements.
2- Accuracy at both goals: Pepe Mel said that the game was defined by the punch at both areas and the stats confirm his idea. Its weird to lose a game 0-3 after having more chances than the rival, but that was what happened before Real Madrid. Deportivo wasted three one-on-one plays, a header was saved at the goal line, it hit the crossbar once and even wasted a penalty. Seven clear opportunities and zero goals. Meanwhile, the Madrilenians scored in their first three opportunities and ended the game with five clear chances.
3- Bad night for Andone: Big part of the fault for not scoring a goal was in the shoulders of Andone. The top-scorer of last season didnt have his night this time, he missed two one-on-one plays when the score was 0-0, later saw how Ramos was blocking his header with the 0-2 in the scoresheet, and later wasted a third one-on-one when the game was 0-3, and the Romanian closed the unfaithful night wasting a penalty. Totally, he completed 7 shots, 6 of them were on target and were saved between Keylor Navas and Ramos.
4- The doubts at the goal: Pepe Mel expressed his doubts on last week regarding the goalkeeper position and he has been insisting in singing a new man despite already having two goalies, and his doubts were ratified in the first shot on target suffered by Depor in the new season. Ruben Martínez should have caught the ball in the attempt by Modrić, instead the ball hit his cheat and it just opened the gate to Madrids fest.
5- The drama of the penalties: Another missed penalty by Deportivo. The Galicians have failed in six of their last seven shots from the spot in liga. Celso Borges has been the only men that has scored a penalty for Depor in 2017 (March 08, 1-1 Vs Betis). Joselu, Babel, Emre Çolak, Fajr, Borges and Andone were the six men missing their shots.
6- Bakkali, Cartabia and Schär: The three debutants left a positive impression, Bakkali gave problems on the left wing, Cartabia was working between the lines and, despite some missed passes, he was combining with the other attackers, while Schär was important in defence making five clearances and two interceptions.
7- The referee: A lot has been said during the week about the decisions of the referees in the games between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Los Blancos have complained of unfair decisions lately, but the true is that the rest of teams always seem to be affected in some degree when they face the big ones. It cannot be said that José Luis González González was to blame for the defeat, but the fans feel frustrated after realizing that Sergio Ramos should have been sent off for his clash with Schär, and only one minute later the defender was saving Depors first goal after a header by Andone (58)

Its a half liter & written in English "ANOTHER LITTLE DRINK WON'T DO US ANY HARM" LOOKING TO FIND OUT WHO MADE IT AND ABOUT WHEN. The only markings on the bottom, "MADE IN GERMANY" in a semi circle over the number 1455 which is also on the side. Well made, lid fits well and pewter looks to be from 30's or right after WWII although its not marked West Germany.

given the following code:
public static class Helpers
private static Char[] myChars = new Char[] {'a', 'b'};
private static Int32 myCharsSize = myChars.Length;
Yes, they will, please see 10.4.5.1 Static field initialization:
The static field variable initializers of a class correspond to a sequence of assignments that are executed in the textual order in which they appear in the class declaration. If a static constructor (Section 10.11) exists in the class, execution of the static field initializers occurs immediately prior to executing that static constructor. Otherwise, the static field initializers are executed at an implementation-dependent time prior to the first use of a static field of that class.
That being said I think it would be better to do the initialization inside a static type initializer (static constructor).

Police crack down on burglaries in Hertfordshire
PUBLISHED: 09:41 17 October 2017 | UPDATED: 09:41 17 October 2017
Hertfordshire Constabulary is urging residents to take simple steps to secure their homes from burglars as the clocks are set to go back, bringing darker afternoon and evenings.
This year burglary levels have increased compared to the same period last year, up 44 per cent between April 1 2017 and October 15 2017, when compared with the same period in 2016.
Every year burglary tends to increase during the autumn and winter months as the afternoons get darker, making it easier for offenders to identify unoccupied homes, which are often left unlit.
A police spokeswoman said: "Throughout the autumn and winter police will be focusing on burglary as a priority, providing residents with advice on home security, property marking and general crime prevention."
Safer neighbourhood officers will be holding crime prevention events across the county giving away free burglary prevention packs and offering advice on keeping homes and valuables safe.
Residents can make their homes more secure by following some basic crime prevention advice such as:
• Use timer switches on a lamp, radio or TV set so that they turn on as it gets dark in the afternoons.
• Make a habit of checking that ground floor windows and doors are closed and locked when you leave the house or go to bed. Upstairs windows should be locked when the house is unoccupied.
• PVCu doors must be locked by lifting the handle and turning the key to ensure all the security features are in place.
• Car and house keys should be kept out of sight in a safe place. Don't leave them on display on window sills, in porches, hallways or kitchens.
• Secure your rear garden by shutting and locking any gates. Burglars can use garden tools, like ladders to break in, so make sure you securely lock away any tools after use.
Police and crime commissioner David Lloyd said: "Tackling the increase in burglaries this year is a top priority for the police, who will be visiting many residents and helping them to secure their homes.
"Crime is comparatively low in Hertfordshire and residents can play a big part in keeping burglary down and preventing themselves becoming a victim, by making sure their homes are secure, reporting suspicious behaviour and joining a neighbourhood watch scheme."
Chief inspector Sian Lockley from Hertfordshire Constabulary's Crime Reduction Unit said: "Burglary has increased this year, but residents can take action to protect their homes.
"Criminals avoid breaking into occupied homes.
"If you give your home a lived in look, by using a timer switch to turn on a light or tv, then criminals will avoid your home.
"Many people do not remember or do not know to double-lock PVCu doors, by lifting the handle and turning the key to engage all the safety features.
"Also obvious things like closing all windows and locking garden gates and garages – it's surprising how many burglaries would be prevented by simply doing these things."

Social Injustice with Youth SPorts
Josmer Vela was a 12 year old soccer prodigy from Plano, Texas accomplished with countless awards and an obvious love of the game. However, In 2015 joining an elite travel team along with the rest of his teammates became an impossibility. A sanitation worker, his father Jose Vela had to tell Josmer that their family "simply couldn't pay thousands for him to travel with the team every weekend", ending his dream before he could even have the opportunity to pursue it. Josmer, is just one of a rising thousand of kids in America who suffer from the impact of low family income affecting participation in youth sports.
Over the last twenty years, there has been a rise in elite youth sports programs intended to boost competition while requiring athletes to travel far to play for these teams. Although a great opportunity for athletes participating, this 17 Billion dollar industry has been requiring amounts as large as $10,000 to pay for things like equipment, travel, and health insurance making it hard for low income families to support their child's athletic pursuits. In a study by ESPN, the overall trend in the United States showed an increase in participation in youth sports programs from kids in families earning more than $100,000, while the participation of those in families earning less than that continue to decrease.
Although the rising cost of youth sports has created an economic divide amongst the youth, this effect has also put a demoralizing effect on the athletes. At the 2000 Laureus World Sports Awards, Nelson Mandela said "Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair." As more children lose the chance to play sports, they lose their chance to appreciate important life lessons that come from sports.
So the question remains, how do we provide the opportunity for youths from all backgrounds to be able to participate in youth sports programs? The answer lies in the work done by nonprofit organizations like LA84 and Laureus. They work to provide as many programs across the nation and throughout the world with funds, athletes, and coaches, so that youths from all ages could have the chance to play in some sort of sport. They hold fundraisers, collect donations, and even offer coaching training programs so that youth sports teams could thrive in all types of communities. It's programs like these and support from local community members that help build and maintain youth sports. So go out to your local youth sports team. Donate money to the program or give away old equipment because you might not need it anymore, but some other child will.

Bluetooth speakers might not seem like the most exciting product category, but it turns out there's still room for a little innovation. At CES 2020, POW Audio announced two new speakers that fold up for increased portability: the Una Biz and Una Ultra.
The Una Biz is designed to be used indoors (or just away from water), with Bluetooth 5.0 support, a protective travel bag, up to 12 hours of playtime, and a USB Type-C charging port. There's also a built-in microphone, so you can talk to your phone's virtual assistant through it. It has a height of 4.4 inches, a width of 2.5 inches, and a depth of 1 inch collapsed/4.1 inches expanded.
The Una Biz collapsed (bottom) and expanded (top)
There's also an upgraded model, the Una Ulta. It's larger, with a height of 12.5 inches, a width of 12.2 inches, and a depth of 4.1 inches collapsed/7.5 inches expanded. There's also an extra USB Type-A port, so the speaker can charge your other devices, and up to 20 hours of playtime.
The Una Ultra in expanded mode
However, you'll be paying a pretty penny for both speakers — the Biz will cost $149.99, while the Ultra will be $299.99. No release date has been revealed, but POW Audio's Twitter or Facebook will keep you in the loop if you're interested.
