National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen: In a tavern a card player has drawn a knife and is about to attack his victim, firmly grabbing his short hair. The victim, a fellow player from the other side of the table, cries out and seeks to ward off the blow with an open hand. The light falls harshly onto this brawl from the left, accentuating the drama of the tense situation. The card players, the half-figure composition, the realism, and the stark contrast between light and darkness (chiaroscuro) are all elements borrowed from the Italian Baroque artist Caravaggion, whoim Rombouts got to know during a prolonged stay in Italy. By making uncontrolled anger the main subject of the painting the Flemish painter draws on an ancient Dutch tradition for creating moralising depictions of the seven deadly sins. Wrath was one of them.
12-03-1978, Arlington, IL. Tom Preissing. Thomas Joseph Preissing is a retired American professional ice hockey player. Preissing has played in 326 National Hockey League games with the San Jose Sharks, Ottawa Senators, Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche. Preissing played four years as a forward on the varsity team at Rosemount High School before moving on to play two seasons with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL. It was with the Gamblers that then coach Mark Osiecki converted Tom to a defenceman, paving the way for his future hockey successes. Preissing played for Colorado College of the WCHA and was a top 10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, he also captained the Tigers in his senior year. He earned NCAA - West First All-American honors and holds the WCHA record for most goals by a defenseman in a season with 23 in 2002–03. Preissing was signed as an undrafted free agent by the San Jose Sharks on April 4, 2003.[2] After a strong training camp with the Sharks, Preissing was a surprise inclusion on the opening night roster for the 2003–04 season. Tom played the full season with the Sharks where he had two goals and seventeen assists in 69 games. He was praised for making the step directly from college to the NHL without stopping in the AHL and was named San Jose's rookie of the year in 2004. In the 2005–06 season, Preissing broke out, scoring 43 points in seventy-four games to have the second-highest-scoring season by a defenseman in Sharks history behind only Sandis Ozolinsh. He also carried a +17 plus-minus rating, which ranked first among Sharks defensemen. On July 9, 2006, Preissing and Josh Hennessy were traded by the Sharks to the Chicago Blackhawks for Mark Bell. The Hawks immediately traded the two, along with Michal Barinka and a second-round draft pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft to the Ottawa Senators for Martin Havlat and Bryan Smolinski. Tom then spent the 2006–07 season with Ottawa, recording 38 points in 80 games and posting the third-best plus-minus rating (+40) of any NHL player. He helped the Senators reach the Stanley Cup final, in which they lost to the Anaheim Ducks in five games. On July 2, 2007, Preissing signed a four-year, contract as an unrestricted free agent with the Los Angeles Kings. In the 2007–08 season, his first with the Kings, Preissing suffered in production, scoring only 24 points in 77 games, and his plus-minus slipped to -6. Preissing was benched for four games into the early stages of the 2008–09 season. After stepping up his play Preissing was then hampered by illness and upon recovery was assigned to the Kings affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL on March 4, 2009, for the rest of the season. On July 3, 2009, Preissing was traded by the Kings, along with Kyle Quincey and a fifth-round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, to the Colorado Avalanche for Ryan Smyth. Preissing missed training camp and the start of the 2009–10 season having a scope on his right knee. After a conditioning stint with Colorado's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters, Tom made his Avalanche debut in a 8-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on November 14, 2009. On November 29, 2009, after playing in four games with the Avs, Preissing was placed on waivers and re-assigned back to the Monsters. Despite leading the Monsters defense with 31 points in 49 games, his considerably large contract meant he was placed on waivers for the purpose of a buy out of his final year from the Avalanche on June 30, 2010. Without NHL interest, Preissing returned to Europe for the first time since 2005, signing a one-year contract with Kärpät of the Finnish SM-liiga on September 16, 2010. Under the agreement, Tom first joined Kazakh team, Barys Astana of the Russian KHL, to start the 2010–11 season on a two month loan through to November in order to attain game conditioning. On September 17, Preissing made a successful debut with Astana scoring a goal in a 6-5 overtime loss to Salavat Yulaev Ufa. However, just two days later in his second game in a 4-1 victory against Metallurg Novokuznetsk, Preissing's tenure in the KHL was cut short when he suffered a serious knee injury. Due to return to Kärpät in November, but with the prospects of being unable to play from the injury, Preissing came to a mutual agreement to terminate his contract on October 11, 2010. On July 11, 2011, Preissing signed a one-year contract with Swiss team EHC Biel for the 2011–12 season. He left Biel after one year and joined Rögle in the Swedish Eliteserien. He finished the 2012/13 season with TPS Turku in the Finish League and retired at the end of the season. His NHL-Stats: GP:368 / G:34 / A:113 / Pts:146 / PIM:92. His Career-Stats: GP:819 / G:129 / A:305 / Pts:434 / PIM:376 (1997/98 – 2012/13).
Key player of Argentina
Messi - Doubted by fans, yet the five-time world player of the year delivered. Argentina would not be going to Russia without his goals and leadership. Turns 31 during a tournament that could yet crown his career.
Excellent Volleyball tournament, super talented players, my sincere congratulations!
Unfortunately I can not say the same about its organizers; they are arrogant, disrespectful, narrow-minded. Sorry I did not stay for the conclusion of this photo shoot as I was limited by its organizers, according to them..."I will not allow flash photography in my building!" THIS SERIES OF VOLLEYBALL PHOTOS HAVE REACHED WITHIN A WEEK ABOUT 35,000 VIEWS, THANK YOU.
With the white tennis racket, it looks as if she might actually be playing a Wii. That's no real problem, though, and she makes for a good figure. Also, I love that new ponytail in its ginger flavor.

'Marble Players', 1992
Meadowhall Retail Park, Attercliffe Common.
stone
Location: Sitting area at Meadowhall Retail Park, Attercliffe Common, situated on a circular grass space surrounded by stone and metal seating, through which a footpath travels from the pedestrian access to the site from the main road (A6178). There are fast food restaurants on either side of the site. (A-Z p 89 2E)
Description: Two figures crouch engrossed in a game of marbles. One player is just about to flick a fresh marble onto the floor.
Commission: Stadium Developers. Sheffield's Public Arts Officer was involved.
Comment: Artist speaks of it as being a sculpture for an intimate space, seen at eye level and needing close attention. The story-telling aspect of the piece is important too, but the marbles have now to be imagined for they proved to be irresistible to vandals and have not been replaced. Vandalism occurred before the fast food outlets were built. There are plans to replace the marbles, with bronze rather than glass marbles, but nothing definite has been decided. The clay maquette for this piece has unfortunately been lost.
