4. | animu | ||
A word used used by people who don't like anime to mock Anime and people who talk about it too much.
It's not very "offensive" though. A more offensive word would be weaboo or wapanese. zomg animu convention
1. | animu | ||
The word Animu is a joke used to describe both Anime and Japanophiles who attempt to give Japanese sounding pronunciations to words that were not Japanese to begin with. It is not meant to describe any specific form of Anime.
It is my belief that the word originated on the SA forums. Stop watching all that animu crap.
2. | animu | ||
The word "animu" means "anime", but it is used in a disparaging or self-deprecating way. It's used as an in-joke, in reference to how anime otaku culture is not accepted by everyone, and how anime can consume so much time, energy, money. The self-deprecating use of this word is similar to how "shit" and "crap" are used - for example, "I'll go back to watching my shit on YouTube", "I just bought a ton of crap for my computer", etc. I'm gonna go watch some animu and read some mango.
Are there any good animu airing this season? I bought some figures from my favorite animu. |
3. | Animu | ||
An Animu, a person that complains about anime drawings yet has either never watched one or refuses to consider it 'art'. Animu's regularly band together and complain about 'front page' artwork's on DA(Deviant Art) or other popular art site's about how ugly or silly an artwork is because it is in the style of Anime regardless of how well drawn and/or non anime style it actually is. Animu's (the ones who have the balls at least) also comment on people's art and User pages complaining about how they never draw any 'REAL' art and rant about how 'popular' they are and that they don't deserve it. A majority of Animu's are unable to spell correctly and have poor artistic abilities. 1: UGH, srsly whts with all this anime cr*p! why the h3ll r u su populr? when r u gunna draw sum r3al ART?
2: Stop being such an Animu.. e.e To see Animu's in their natural habitat browse the popular section on DeviantArt or search on encyclopediadramatica for 'Shit on the front page'. |
5. | animu | ||
Another variation of anime created by the anti AJ, animejunkies, protesters. This terms is used to show parallelism with AJ's "correct" translation - converting from Japanese -> Korean -> English. Never say "Naked Child Event" in AJ's mirc chan, coz they will kill you like killing an ant.

4. | streaker | ||
Someone who likes to run around on a sporting pitch (preferably in front of a HUGE crowd) in the nude. Very popular in Australia.
Most often seen being chased by seecurity. Usually always televised games. Did you see that streaker at the (tennis/cricket/football) game?
streaker images | |||
1. | streaker | ||
Someone who you generally don't want to see naked who feels compelled to remove their clothing and run around in their nakedness.
The occasional 'streaker' is easy on the eye, however they tend to be streaking for a different motive; generally, due to a lost bet. Hey, did you see that streaker? I guess they lost their bet on the Super Bowl.
2. | streaker | ||
A streaker is a bit like a flasher, but instead of just baring their shame for the world to see, a streaker feels the need to run around completely nude. This generally happens at large gatherings, such as sporting events. James: "Did you see that streaker in the second half?"
John: "Yes, I particularly liked her norks." |
3. | streaker | ||
One who chooses to run around in the nude. Some find it disturbing. Some find it hilarious. Person 1: I think streakers are hella-funny!
Person 2: I think you are a pervert. |
5. | streaker | ||
A person who is running around naked. Did you see the streaker last night? He ran naked through the Quad!
6. | streaker | ||
To run through a public area naked, nude, in the buff, etc. I used to be a streaker.
7. | streaker | ||
Some one who runs naked across a sporting field during a sportevent. (also used for someone who runs around naked in public) If it weren't for the streakers the soccergame was really boring.

lol Thanks
do you have a pic of you car I took a lot of footage I might have taken some video of it. Never know.
The show itself is still VW/Audi however a lot of venders are putting other makes and models in their booths as the whole scene has shifted to almost all makes and models.
In some aspects it's made the show more exciting, I mean once you've seen one gti on RS's you've seen 50% of the cars there. The different makes, models have made everyone step up their car game. Obviously there has been a downside, a lot of P.O.S cars ruining spots and attracting a lot more unnecessary attention, but one of those things you can never control.

Cool video man, couldn't make that if I tried. Didn't get to go this year, did the unitronic tent really have a magician? haha, reaching a bit aren't they
I miss Ocean City. Meant to get back there this summer but never did.
But this show? Is it all about the low? Does anyone show up with a nice, OEM+ MK2 16V anymore or is that deemed lame by today's "enthusiasts"?
Oh, and get those damn kids off my lawn!
Do the people that bash these videos know you, and so it's sort of tongue in cheek, or are they just that ignorant?

the position being taken is not to be mistaken for attempted education or righteous accusation only a description just an observation of the pitiful condition of our degeneration
Yeah I after moving to FL I didn't think I'd make it either
But so glad I did, it still is one of the most fun events all year,
It was good to be back, it has changed as the styles have changed, who knows what it will be in 3 years, prob not even at oc md anymore
lol It's the car lounge, it's typical.
But ignorant is a polite way of putting it.
I liked it. Recognized many cars from different forums I'm on.
I actually have a friend who said he's getting "out of the scene" after going this year. Said it's all the same stuff and too many haters. I've never been, looks like fun to me.
Same sh!t like every other year.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
People can hate all they want, but after all the event's I've been to up and down the east cost, it is by far the most fun.
It's almost not even about the cars, I didn't even bring my car this year because I flew up from 1,000 miles away...
Hanging out with friends having a few drinks, eating some MD style blue crab, and driving up and down the street with car enthusiasts from all over is really what makes this event fun. The fact that everywhere you look is something different, and it's pretty much an all week event makes it even better.
Cool video! It's always interesting to see the evolution of car modifications.
A lot of photogenic cars.
Yeah what the hell is up with all this "same stuff every year sh!t"? I know it might sound crazy but these cars that were manufactured, didn't come with a "evolution button"...They pretty much stay the same most of their life. We go to hangout and have a good time and maybe buy some parts from one another. It's not god damn SEMA
I'm going to give them credit for using a hand held camera and not one of these things:
At SEMA last year I saw no less than eight people using these things outside the main hall. I'm sure they were all making "sick vids brah" to sell on their site.
this is the car i was talking about

Thanks man!

hahaha sliders, I was limited to what I could use from my suitcase on the plane. But yeah no slider used. They do make some nice shots though.
Cool Video.
I really like the variety at H20. I espacially liked the old Benz.
Down side there was over cambered Miata, TCL favorite mod
"Your pants too tight,your wheels too bright"
There is actually a good amount of non "slammed" Vw/audi packing some serious horsepower. Those cars are often getting as much if not more respect from the majority of the crowd down there. I had a buddy dow there with a MKII Gti VRT pushing 850hp and a mkIII 4 door Golf vrt pushing 450hp they got alot of love. There is also alot of classics mkI and mkII Vw's that looked very clean and classic that were not "stanced" the videos and photos will be mainly stanced cars becuase thats what the kids wanna see its a car show not a track day. But it is quite an eclectic mix of cars down there, I think most people would be suprised.
I went for the first time last year (at the age of 41). Was in the area for work and had the weekend
off, figured WTF. I enjoyed it, most of the cars weren't anything I am into, but the sheer volume of
modified vehicles driving made for an interesting experience. By far the biggest show/city take over
I've been too.

I def see the similarities but I think severed hand is a pretty unique song. I respect the fact that art and music are subjective and you really can't make a definitive statement about the quality of art...however, I just cannot see how a true PJ fan would not be into these songs / performances. I just think all the elements are there...Ed's voice, great rhythm section, Mike's solo on 'severed' was excellent, the energy of the band was phenomenal.
Its your opinion and thats cool, but I'm going to have to agree to disagree. I absolutely loved the songs. 9 out of 10 for both of them.

On the eve of the third running of Les Voiles de St. Barth, April 2-7, the palm-fringed port of Gustavia, St.Barthlemy quickly filled with an impressive array of race boats: ocean-racing maxis including the 90-foot Rambler and the Swan 112, Highland Breeze; classic beauties such the Olin Stephen-designed Dorade and the Fife-built yawl Mariella; a trio of IRC 52s, multi-hulls including the 66 Gunboat Phaedo, and two large racing classes with a mix of Melges, J/boats, and a mix of 40-footers, including the hot-off-the-press Carkeek 40, Decision.
Over 60 boats are registered for this years edition, up fromwith a large number of returning entries, proof that the regatta has filled the need for spirited competition towards the end of the winter season a time when tourism typically begins to wind down in the Caribbean. Though that was hard to tell yesterday, at the islands tiny airport, as the steady stream of small commuter planes landing were filled with a duffle bag-wielding collection of sailors from the ranks of the Americas Cup, round-the-world-ocean races, and Olympic competition, that included Gavin Brady (Vesper), Scott Vogel (Rambler), Bouwe Bekking (Nilaya), Cam Lewis (Paradox), Charlie McKee and Ross MacDonald (Mayhem), Tony Rey, Jeff Madrigali, and Nacho Postigo (Powerplay), and Dee Smith (Decision).
But its not just the professionals that flock to Les Voiles de St. Barth, the regattas program and mix of courses also appeals to a competitive group of amateur and family racers that hone their skills on the growing circuit of Caribbean regattas that take advantage of this sailing paradise.
While not the easiest of destinations to reach some U.S. west coast sailors logged 16+ hours in transit, while others from Europe only slightly less the island of St Barths itself is a welcome reward at the end of the road: a turquoise blue, crystal-clear sea, pristine white sand beaches, and an array of fabulous restaurants just payoff for a long days journey.
Francesco Mongelli, navigator onboard Jim Swartz IRC52 Vesper, is here racing in St Barths for the first time. The Italian sailor, who sails primarily in Europe, has been racing with the Vesper crew since last October, and was clearly keen to have touched down in this French paradise, Its a mix of all the best sailing places, together with perfect weather and good food. Having spent the afternoon in a tender carefully checking out the coastline and charted (and uncharted) rock outcroppings, Mongelli added, Its pretty similar to Porto Cervo, the difference is that there you more or less know where everything is, and the charts are accurate. You cannot take the same risk here that wed take in Porto Cervo.
Racing will run from Tuesday, April 3 Saturday, April 7 and will feature a mix of Olympic triangles, short coastal courses, and a 20-30 nautical mile round-the island race. The fleet will be split into seven classes: Maxi (> 21 meters), IRC52 (former TP52s that have been optimized for the IRC rule), Spinnaker I + II, Non-Spinnaker (racer/cruiser), Classic (vintage/traditional), and Multihull. Thursday is a layday at Nikki Beach, with lunch and a full afternoon of activities, including a paddleboard competition.
New this year, Les Voiles will offer real-time race tracking with 2D visualization via the internet. Waypoint-Tracking (www.waypoint-tracking.com) developed the system in close collaboration with ISAF. The site will allow enthusiasts to follow the daily racing action live or to replay at a later time.
Many of the competing boats are moored stern-to at the Quai General de Gaulle, site of the Race Village, where all of the daily breakfast and post-race activities and music take place. This evening, skippers and tacticians were on hand for the Skippers Briefing led by Loic Ponceau, Race Committee Chairman, and organizers Francois Tolede, Luc Poupon, and Annelisa Gee. Following that was Les Voiles St. Barth Opening Ceremony, where Bruno Magras, President of the Collectivit of St. Barth, welcomed more than 500 sailors to the weeklong event.
A regular and enthusiastic competitor in the Caribbean, Sir Peter Harrison was named the godfather or patron of this years Les Voiles. Harrison, owner of the 115-foot Farr-designed Sojana, told the crowd, As a visitor from England to this beautiful French island, one of the most beautiful in the West Indies, Im thrilled to be asked to the patron of Les Voiles. Bon vent Les Voiles de St. Barth, and good luck, everyone!
Also sailing on Sojana is Lionel Pan, who is also back for his third Les Voiles. He said, Obviously there are plenty of good reasons to be here, and to come back every year with the same enthusiasm: this place is made for sailing. In a very short time, Les Voiles de St. Barth has become the place to be, very much like Saint Tropez in the Mediterranean. And the word is spreading around. Shortly there will be a waiting list to be a part of the event!
The weather forecast for the next few days calls for light winds, though the breeze is expected to increase throughout the week. Racing is scheduled to start tomorrow, Tuesday, April 3, two miles northwest of Sugarloaf Rock off Gustavia; one race is scheduled with a start time of 12noon.
When the third annual Les Voiles des St. Barth gets underway this April 2-7, there will be more that meets the eye than the simply stunning panoramic views of the colorful French West Indies island that hosts the event and the expansive blue Caribbean ocean that surrounds it. Competitive sailors and, for that matter, local residents and visitors alike will have the privilege of also indulging in the indelible impressions left by the aesthetically unmatched designs of some of the world's finest yachts participating as well as the passion of their owners.
Among the 60+ entrants registered to date is what many call the world's most famous yacht of all time: the 52' (15.8 metre) yawl Dorade. Purchased in 2010 by Matt Brooks (San Francisco, Calif.), Dorade was designed by the late Olin Stephens and originally launched in 1930. She influenced nearly all developments in yacht design for the next three decades and was hugely successful in distance racing, taking overall victory in the 1931 Transatlantic race and the 1931 and 1933 Fastnet races, among others. Now, Brooks, who has spent the last year overseeing a refit and major restoration of Dorade, is utilizing Les Voiles de St. Barth as a platform for both yacht and crew preparation, with the goal of entering Dorade in her first major modern ocean race this summer: the Newport to Bermuda Race, in which she finished second in both 1930 and 1932.
"We are assembling and training a crew with the right skills, chemistry and experience to race Dorade and win," said Brooks, who is a world champion in the Six Meter class as well as an accomplished mountain climber and world record-holding jet pilot. "We also are toughening up Dorade herself, readying her for the kind of long-range sailing she hasn't seen in decades, keeping in mind that while she may be game, she is also an 80-year-old lady."
Dorade will sail in the Classics division against such other standouts as Kate, an Intel 60 (18.2 metre); Cruinneag III, a 63' (19.4 metre) ketch, and Marie Des Isles, a Gran Shpountz 65 (20 metre). Among Dorade's crew will be John Burnham, an IOD World Champion and Shields ClassNational Champion; legendary Bermudian sailor Buddy Rego; Jesse Sweeney, Dorade's navigator and a member of the Camper Emirates Team New Zealand's meteorology team for the Volvo Ocean Race; and Jamie Hilton, a two-time 12 Meter World and North American Champion, who also was a member of Brooks's team when it won the 2011 Six Meter World Cup.
"St. Barth is a legendary destination and a beautiful place to sail, and we are expecting great wind, great camaraderie among the competitors, and a good test of the new and improved Dorade," said Brooks.
Another remarkable yacht that will be seen in St. Barth is the Hoek 115' (35.2 metre) Firefly, the recently launched prototype for the new one-design F Class. The superyacht was designed to hold her own against larger (130'/39.7 metre) J Class yachts and sports some similarities such as a towering rig and long bow and stern overhangs to those massive yachts, which were built in the 1930s and have experienced a rebirth.
According to her designers, Firefly is a perfect mix of classic lines and retro-design details, optimizing her for the Spirit of Tradition classes hosted by some regattas, but at Les Voiles de St. Barth she will depend on her high-performance racing characteristics to prevail against eight other yachts thus far signed up in Maxi class (yachts 75'/22.86 metres and longer).
"The concept is to have a beautiful, classic-looking boat with a modern underbody, using the latest technologies in deck gear and rigging solely for use as a racing boat and/or daysailer," said Mark van Gelderen, who supervised Fireflys nine-month building process and has been the captain since she splashed in June of 2011. Having headed straight to the Med to compete in a handful of maxi events, Firefly was further optimized to improve performance before heading to the Caribbean.
"We have a relatively young crew combined of professional sailors, very good amateurs and friends of the owner," added van Gelderen, who will be skippering and driving together with the owner. "Within the crew we have Olympic, Volvo Ocean Race, big boat and dinghy experienced sailors a great combination of very motivated guys!"
Van Gelderen also explained that St. Barth will offer a great place for guests and crew to be entertained when not participating in racing. "There are beaches, great restaurants, shopping and peace and tranquility, all within close proximity," van Gelderen said. "It's the perfect combination."
While three other Maxi Class boats — the 112′/34 metre Baltic Nilaya, the 112′/34 metre Swan Highland Breeze, and the 115'/35 metre Farr Sojana — are nicely matched size-wise to Firefly, no one is quite sure how they or five smaller Maxis in the class are going to compare speed-wise. Certainly all eyes will be on the 90′ (27.4 metre) Reichel/Pugh Rambler, which won the inaugural Les Voiles de St. Barth and has been brought out of retirement by its owner George David (Hartford, Conn.) after its successor, Rambler 100 (which won last years Les Voiles de St. Barth with David steering) lost its keel and capsized in the 2011 Fastnet.
"These races invariably start a mile or two off Gustavia (the main harbor and capital of St. Barth), which means in any kind of a northeasterly trade it is a shifty first leg to a weather mark just outside the harbor," said David, who most recently finished second overall and second in class with Rambler at the 2012 RORC Caribbean 600. "Then there are a couple of miles reaching either way across the south side of the island, so it's a parade after that first weather mark, and you don't want to get there second. Our ride last year, Rambler 100, got us there first every time with boat lengths to spare. It wont be so easy in the 90 footer."
David noted that 15 of Ramblers crew sailing in the Les Voiles de St. Barth were present at the now-famous Fastnet incident, and a majority of them have sailed in the last two runnings of this regatta.
In addition to the Classic and Maxi classes at Les Voiles de St. Barth, there will also be a Racing Class with divisions for Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker, 52-Footers, and Multihulls. Other notable entries include the Tripp 75 Blackbird, the Carkeek 40 Decision, the X 65 Karuba 5, and the Irens 63 trimaran Paradox.
With a Tuesday (April 3) through Saturday (April 7) schedule that includes four days of intense racing and a lay day on Thursday (April 5), the regatta kicks off on Monday, April 2, with opening ceremonies and cocktails at the festive Race Village on the Quai General de Gaulle overlooking Gustavia Harbor, where the event is headquartered. Lay day events planned for Nikki Beach include lunch and a surprise sporting challenge for all crews. Evening activities include off-site parties as well as post-racing bands and entertainment in the Race Village.
Official Poster
Organizers unveiled the official limited edition Les Voiles de St. Barth 2012 poster by well-known St. Barth artist Antoine Heckly. Only 300 posters will be printed, with the original artwork to be auctioned off during the crew party –hosted by the real estate agency, Sibarth — at Shell Beach on Wednesday, April 4. Proceeds from this auction will be donated to FEMUR (Foundation for Emergency Medical Equipment) to fund the purchase of a CT scanner to be installed in the new Radiation Center in the island's Hopital de Bruyn.

About 40 minutes into a presentation from Troup County Schools Superintendent Cole Pugh, Hogansville City Council and residents of the town heard what they wanted to hear: Hogansville Elementary is not on the "chopping block" of proposed schools to be shuttered in the face of budget concerns.
"Hogansville is not in danger," Pugh said. "In fact, it may be expanded" to accommodate more students as zones are redrawn, he said.
Councilman Jack Leidner invited Pugh to speak to the council at its regular meeting so residents and the council would be aware of the schools' exact proposal, Leidner said. He said part of the reason businesses were locating in Meriwether Park – part of which is in the Hogansville city limit – is because of the quality of the schools.
Pugh did highlight areas where the school system has done well in recent years but outlined its budget challenges. The system needs to cut almost $4 million from its budget in the next year to make up for cuts from the state and rising costs. Most of the members of an advisory task force made up of students, staff, teachers and members of the community recommend the system come up with a long-term plan to cut costs rather than just get by for another year.
The long-term plan includes closing Unity Elementary School, which would save $1.1 million and coming up with a combo platter of other cuts to make up the rest.
The school system wants to redraw elementary school zones that outline where children would attend. Doing that would help create more definite areas and save transportation costs. Other options include cutting art and music programs, shortening the school calendar, cutting extension teachers and having more furlough days for students and staff.
Pugh invited residents to look at all the school systems proposals at www.troup.org and to attend two public hearings on the proposals.
The first hearing will be held 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28 at Unity Elementary School, 525 Park Ave. The second will be 10:30 a.m. Feb. 4 at the Troup County School System Administrative Services building, 100 N. Davis Road, building C.
The school board should vote on a plan by late February.

WINNSBORO — Leadership and intangibles have been a catalyst for a Fairfield Central football team devoid of blue chip and five-star recruits making its way to the 2AA State Championship Game.
Coach Demetrius Davis said that his senior leaders asserted themselves beginning with a summer retreat to Camp Bob Horton in Saluda, N.C. Varsity and junior varsity players slept outside in tents, were not allowed cell phones or video games and they bonded during the two-day event.
"We became like a family and adopted the team slogan of 'together' realizing that as a team anything we do, we have to do together," David said.
The seniors embraced it and worked hard almost year round from June 2, doing 7-on-7 drills and practicing four hours per day.
Junior quarterback and track star DeAndre Belton grew each week of the season in just his second year playing organized football, thanks to extra time spent with quarterbacks coach Ryan Sharpe working on passing fundamentals and the nuances of the position.
Two seniors anchored the offensive line with Dexter Finch converting to center and making all the calls for the offense as a coach on the field.
Davis was thrilled with Finch's efforts, noting how steady his snaps were all season and how their spread offense all starts with the center, particularly as they trained a relatively inexperienced quarterback to read defenses at the varsity level.
Lynn-Tony Young played both ways, tallying three sacks and opening holes for senior running back Damian Bell who averaged 6.98 yards per carry, rushing for 1180 yards and 20 touchdowns. Bell also caught 12 passes for 278 yards and a score. Belton rushed for 1,158 yards, 11.03 per carry, and proved a dual threat quarterback, passing for 1,487 yards with 18 touchdowns to nine interceptions. He also scored 11 rushing touchdowns for the Griffins.
Junior Devonta Foster proved his mettle, becoming a ball hawk whose eight interceptions led the team and put him in the tops in the region for that category. Passers were under duress often as thanks to the 18 sacks posted by North-South All-Star selection senior Raheem McDaniel.
Junior Compton Walker and senior Michell Crosby made their impact on special teams with game changing plays, such as Crosby's blocked punt against Cheraw. Walker kicked extra points and returned kicks, including one for a touchdown against Pelion, in addition to playing defensive back alongside Foster.
This nucleus helped the team return to heights not seen in 15 years.
This will be Davis' first chance at a state championship. A 1995 FCHS graduate, he missed out on the 1996 and 1997 teams coached by legendary Buddy Pough. He hopes to follow in his mentor's footsteps on Friday night and bring the title back to Fairfield County.
"Kids feed off their coach," he said. "It's a football game, no matter what. In life they will have situations similar to the game, so you have to keep it in perspective. We wanna win but at the same time it's just another game to us in our approach. I think the team that does the little things the best will win."
Davis thanked the community for their fan support, especially at the Upper State Championship game. He called it one of the best crowds in the history of Fairfield County and knows fans will travel well to Benedict in support of the Griffins.

Specifically, those with experience with the Torque Game Engine, which is what is being used for this project. It should also be noted that the payment is(as most independent projects are) royalty-based.
Epic Frontiers is a realtime online persistent world game of completely unique content. Not trying to copy the fantasy genre that is so prevalent in the current persistent world market(nor trying to compete with the large persistent worlds on the market), Epic Frontiers plans to change that by adding it´s own unique style and gameplay.
Based on high-level real world social dynamics, Epic Frontiers is about the inevitable conflict of emerging civilizations. Play as one of over a half-dozen playable factions, all with allegiance to seperate empires and kingdoms, or play a criminal that has allegiance to none.
Rich content ensures that explorers are rewarded for exploration as much as warriors are rewarded for combat. Crafting, guilds, community projects, and scheduled events are all present, as are player versus player combat.
The current stage of the project is holding steady on the verge of a playable alpha. Gameplay elements are almost done for the current milestone(scheduled combat, dice-roll-based rules, etc), and the terrain for the world is in place. Scenery objects are being created and placed, the main GUI is in place, and other gameplay elements are being implemented(tradeskills, inventory system, etc). A test database is implemented and up and running, while the "live" database has it's structure refined.
DigitalFlux Entertainment, LLC is currently seeking additional staff to help finish this project(we're trying for an end-of-the-year "small area" launch). Artists are needed to help our smaller early-production art staff to ramp up content production. Animators are needed to get our player character templates moving. Coders/Scriptors are also needed to help implement gameplay features and code in certain features not present in the engine such as DTS morph target systems for character creation. Applicants should meet the following minimum requirements:
1) Must be 18 years old or older, and be willing to sign NDA and work-for-hire agreements. To clarify, these agreements will not prevent you from working on other projects.
2) Must be able to perform in one or more of the three areas of low-poly modelling, texture creation, or animation. Please have samples.
3) Coders and scriptors must have a copy of the TGE, and the knowledge to work with it(C++, Torque-Script). Samples appreciated.
4) Must be able to dedicate time to the project in order to be productive, and have a good work ethic.
If you are a qualified applicant, then the Epic Frontiers team hopes to hear from you soon!

My sister's best friend just had her second baby–an over 9lb baby boy! He was so beautiful. He was over two weeks when he came to see me, and was so alert. He didn't sleep a very long time, but he didn't cry much either. He just lied there and looked into my eyes the whole time as I fell deeply in love with him. His big sister was so funny and equally as gorgeous. I had so much fun!
This was his one minute of crying time, and he even looked handsome during that minute!

One of my best friends had a baby! Again! The first time, I was there all night, but she had to have a c-section. The next time, I was supposed to support her through a VBAC; but as I got there, they were wheeling her back for a repeat cesarean. Third time's the charm, right? She scheduled her cesarean since all doctors say no way to a VBAC at that point. And I planned to be there for photos afterwards. She ended up going into labor before the appointment and I was out of town. She called me crying with happiness, saying she had had a VBAC right there in the OR.
This fourth time, I was determined that I would see a Henderson baby born. And FINALLY it happened. I was a nasty, blubbery mess the whole time.
Even though Daddy is also a photographer, they honored me with letting me do a newborn session with Emma. What is better than hanging out with your friend and playing with a pretty, new baby?

Another sweet baby came for his close up–my first boy in a long time! We had such a great time and even went outside for some photos! Thanks for sharing T with me! He was amazing!
And isn't his mama so beautiful? I think this was my favorite from that morning.

Little Baby S was the first newborn to come to my home for a session. And the first that I used studio lighting with. I discovered that I LOVE having controlled lighting in a newborn session. And I love moving my light around instead of the beanbag to achieve those perfect shadows across an itty bitty face. She was the perfect model too– she slept like a baby! I definitely am convinced that doing these type of sessions in my own space is best. That huge beanbag doesn't even fit in my car! I cannot wait to put hardwood in and paint. Then I can have bigger babies and kids have sessions in there when it is just too cold out.
Look at that face!
And her beautiful family. Isn't her big sister GORGEOUS!?

Disney Guests Car Broken into at Magic Kingdom Parking Lot
A family from Mississippi returned to their car Saturday night at Magic Kingdom to find their computer, GPS, Christmas gifts and even a loaded gun gone.
The items' value is well into the thousands of dollars, according to the family.
Unfortunately, Disney security told the family that there are no security cameras in some of the parks parking lots including Magic Kingdom's.
According to the Orange County Sheriff Office and Disney security officers who talked with the family, car thieves are cruising the parking lots at local attractions with a handful of keyless entry devices until a car's lights or alarms go off. That allows for an easy in and out for the thieves.
The gun taken from the familys car was Randy Bonds grandfathers.
What if that gets given to somebody, or sold to someone, and somebody gets killed with that gun, I mean how am I going to feel, said Bond.
The Bonds were also confused by the Disney security guard who told them they should not have called 911 and should have waited the more than 35 minutes it took for the guard to show up, before calling for a deputy.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

Cant believe there are no cameras and no continous vigillance
Evem shopping mall parking lots have cameras!
And it took 35minutes for a security officer to show up after a LOADED gun was reported stolen??

Re: Disney Guests Car Broken into at Magic Kingdom Parking Lot
WHY ON EARTH did they have a LOADED gun in the car??!?!??!?!?!?!
Ok yes and all that other business. With the money we pay to get in, why doesn't Disney have cameras and why did it take him 35 minutes to get to the scene? Lots and lots of why..

I'm not touching the gun issue. You know what people say. Sigh.
Why on earth would they have all that stuff in the car? And does this sound fishy to anyone else??? Sounds like a scam to me.I am a travel agent with The Magic For Less Travel. Please private message me if you'd like help booking a trip!

Re: Disney Guests Car Broken into at Magic Kingdom Parking Lot
Having a loaded gun in a car is completely irresponsible and in some states, illegal. Leaving a computer in a car in Florida is not too bright just given the potential for heat to raise the interior temperature of the car to well over 100.
I think it's a shame the car was burgled, and I do understand why people leave valuable items in their cars in the WDW parking lots. Particularly if you are on your way home, or between hotels, there isn't much choice for where to leave it.
I would never wait for security anywhere, and would always call 911 first. 911 gets you to true law enforcement. Disney security is just that, people dressed in "police costumes" and have no real authority to do anything for you.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!

By: Matt Hunter
With Saratoga's horse racing history dating back more than 140 years, many great trainers have had long runs of success at The Spa. But as YNN's Matt Hunter reports, it's a pretty safe bet none of them have put together a win streak like Hall of Famer Jonathan Sheppard's.
SARATOGA RACE COURSE -- Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak in 1941. UCLA basketball's near three year run of 88 games without a loss. Cal Ripken Jr. taking the field 2,632 times before finally taking a day off. All records that are unlikely to be broken. All streaks that don't span nearly as much time as Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard's current run at Saratoga.
During Thursday's second race, a colt named History Boy brought home Sheppard's first win of the 2012 meet. The victory marked the 46th consecutive summer that the 71-year-old Englishman saddled a winner at the Spa.
"I didn't think about it, except for how nice it was," Sheppard said. "Until it's this year and all of a sudden we're half way through the meet and we haven't got a winner, I'm thinking maybe my streak is over." Most known for being a champion steeplechase trainer, Sheppard has saddled roughly 3,000 winners on both the flat and jump disciplines. Before taking out his training license, he had a brief career as a steeplechase jockey.
His first summer training in Saratoga was 1966. His first win came the following August with a horse named Brandon Hill.
"We didn't run a lot of horses, maybe seven or eight," Sheppard said. "I think a couple of them hit the board, but we didn't win that first year, so I guess our streak started the following year."
Because detailed records weren't kept going back to the start of his career, it's unknown exactly how many wins at Saratoga Shepherd has or if his streak is a standalone record. However, given the slim odds, it's almost impossible to think anyone else could have matched his long run of success.
"In any other walk of life, just doing something as well as he's doing it for 46 consecutive years is a testament to him and a good reason why he's been in the Hall of Fame for a long time," said YNN racing analyst Mike Kane, who's covered Sheppard's racing career for several decades.
Sheppard followed up Thursday's victory with a thrilling win at the wire on Friday.It was yet another sweet moment in a career that's had no shortage of great memories.
"The whole thing, particularly in this atmosphere in Saratoga, is about as good as it gets," Sheppard said.

City crews are working to repair a water line break on Stewart Avenue that is being called one of the largest in Clinton's history.
Despite the extent of water loss — "easily 300,000 gallons" — water pressure has been maintained and has not dipped throughout the system, city manager John Connet said. Water has been shut off to 75 residences in and around Stewart Avenue, the site of the break discovered Monday morning, as crews work to fix the damage.
Stewart Avenue is currently closed from West Cutchin Street to Nicholson Street, and will likely be closed until at least late Monday afternoon.

Day 38 of Pirates spring training: news and notes
The Pirates will face the Baltimore Orioles at 7:05 PM in Sarasota, Fla. Ross Ohlendorf is scheduled to pitch six innings followed by Evan Meek (one), Garrett Olson (one or two) and Chris Leroux (one). The O's will send Jake Arrieta to the mound.
Meek will be pitching on back-to-back days for the first time this spring.
Olson will be making his second appearance since being claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.
- As it was reported yesterday, James McDonald (left side) will pitch in a minor league game on Saturday (read more here).
- Joe Beimel is scheduled to throw off the mound today. Beimel (left elbow) has had two successful days of playing catch on flat ground.
- This spring John Bowker is fighting to make the club as the Bucs fifth outfielder, and he's making the most out of every opportunity. Bowker is batting .313 in 16 games, with three home runs, seven RBI and three doubles. Since missing four games (sore left wrist), he has hit safely in nine of the past 13 games.
Manager Clint Hurdle told Rob Biertempfel of the Tribune, "He's had a good spring. You look for the quality of the at-bats and the ability to see pitches and not burn up at-bats in a hurry. He's done a lot of that since we gave him that time off. He's come back and done very, very well."
The outfielder, who can also play first base, is out of options, so if the Pirates do not keep him on the 25-man roster they could lose him to another club.
Bowker told Biertempfel of the Tribune, I've come off the bench before. I think of myself as a good pinch-hitter because I usually give a good at-bat. If I can get a start every once in a while, too, that's a plus."
"I'm not trying to think too much about that. I know I'm out of (minor league) options. I'm just trying to make a good impression because this is my first spring training with these guys."
- According to Forbes.com, the Pirates are ranked last (30th) in baseball in net worth of the franchise at $304 million.
The average MLB franchise is now worth $523 million, an all-time high. The New York Yankees (Ranked No. 1) are worth $1.7 billion.
- Charlie Morton will start Friday against the Rays and throw about 80 pitches. Also scheduled to pitch: Joel Hanrahan (one inning), Jose Veras (one inning) and Daniel McCutchen (one or two innings).
Lineup: McCutchen CF, Tabata LF, Overbay 1B, Walker 2B, Alvarez 3B, Jones RF, Cedeno SS, Snyder C Ohlendorf RHP
*Snyder (lower back soreness) is back in the lineup for the first time since March 9th.
Pitchers: Ohlendorf, Meek, Olson, Leroux
Lineup: Roberts 2B, Markakis RF, Lee 1B, Guerrero DH, Scott LF, Pie CF, Reynolds 3B, Wieters C, Hardy SS, Arrieta RHP
Pitchers: Arrieta, TBA

Ross Brawn has once again dismissed speculation that he is on his way out, insisting he is responsible for "running the team on an operational level".
Rumours that Brawn is set to be replaced as Mercedes team principal refuse to go away and it increased on Monday after McLaren confirmed that Paddy Lowe will leave Woking at the end of the season.
However, Merc's non-executive chairman Nikki Lauda was quick to dismiss the reports saying "Ross is in his position and will stay in his position".
The 58-year-old Brawn has now also come out and denied that there are too many people in charge at Brackley.
When asked by the official Formula One website about the expression 'too many cooks spoil the broth', he replied: "Ha, it can be a problem if everybody tries to do the same thing! (laughs).
"It is important to have clear areas of responsibility. I am responsible for the sporting side; running the team on an operational level. If we can maintain that then there will not be a problem."
Brawn, who has won several titles with Benetton, Ferrari and Brawn GP, insists he is more determined than ever end his Championship winning drought which stretches back to 2009.
"I think it makes you more ambitious - hungrier to get back to that feeling that you had when you were successful," he said.
"Formula One is an incredibly challenging business and one has to be right on several levels to achieve success. We convinced Lewis (Hamilton) to join us, and we put in place a very good technical line-up during 2012 - and the car we've got now is reflecting that.
"It just takes some time to recognize what you have to do; that the corrections that you have to make and the solutions that you have to put in place are a 12- to 18-month process - in any team. Yes, it has been frustrating, but I genuinely feel that we are going in the right direction."

At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents, underscoring moviegoers' anxieties and heightened security in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at a Colorado theater showing the film. A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching "The Dark Knight Rises," Maine state police said Monday. Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said. Former graduate student James Holmes, 24, is accused of opening fire in a theater in a Denver suburb. The shooting also injured 58 people. Courtois said he had attended the Batman movie on Saturday, although police have not confirmed whether he actually saw the film. "I guess we're taking everything at face value," State Police Lt. Kevin Donovan said. "It's very scary." Police searched Courtois' home later Sunday and found a machine gun, several other guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. "We don't know what his true intentions were," said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety. "Based on the arsenal that was confiscated, we brought in our counterparts from the FBI and ATF to assist with the investigation." Courtois was charged with speeding and possession of a concealed weapon. In Southern California, a man at a Sunday afternoon showing of the film was arrested after witnesses said he made threats and alluded to the Aurora shooting when the movie didn't start. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were called to a cinema complex in Norwalk after moviegoers said 52-year-old Clark Tabor shouted: "I should go off like in Colorado." They said he then asked: "Does anybody have a gun?" A security guard saw Tabor with a backpack on his knees in the second row, but deputies who searched the bag, the theater and its surrounding area did not find any weapon. Separately, moviegoers in Sierra Visa, Ariz., panicked when a man who appeared intoxicated was confronted during a showing of the movie. The Cochise County Sheriff's office said it caused "mass hysteria" and about 50 people fled the theater.

And plus Congress is about to vote on small arms gun laws pretty soon. its all a set up to make the American people agree with new and stricter gun laws.

I got my nuts caught in my zipper, I don't like mondays, i was bullied, i want someone to write a song about me, i want to be famous however i am not smart enough to make a difference. In the end to these simpletons whether they be copycats or the original perps one statement to them always works " Any excuse will do! " I saw it and i killed a housefly today, i might kill another tomorrow! And why would i do this " BECAUSE ANY EXCUSE WILL DO! "

I purchased 11 of these for my daughter's b/d celebration @ her school (10 GIRLS TOTAL, w/1 extra for a friend). It arrived intact, the content count(s) were correct, undamaged (bubble wrapped), and spot-on. The only complaint I have is that it did not come with the lip gloss -- instead it had a hokey paper blow-thing that curls back up after you blow it, hence the 3 star rating. Other than that, I'd say it wasn't a bad purchase, b/c it saved me time & effort, wondering what to put inside.

Make ShareThis "Chicklets" Look All the Same
I've written before on my blog about ShareThis — I do love their WordPress plugin and their analytics provide some interesting insights into my blog traffic. There is however a niggly little thing which has been bugging me for a while — and it's all to do with the way their "chicklets" look. (If you're not familiar with the ShareThis lingo, chicklets are those bubbles with numbers in them which show you how many times a certain piece of content has been shared per channel — e.g. Twitter, Facebook etc.)
If you are like me, always in a rush to produce the content rather than customize it (in other words, don't want to spend too much time setting up your blog and want to dedicate most of the time to actually writing "stuff"), then you probably took the same steps to install the ShareThis plugin, accepted the defaults and then enable it. Trouble is if you do that, the chicklets by default don't have a uniform/standard look, and you probably spotted different colors and styles being used — which gives the content a bit of a messy and disorganized look.

(The 'selected-' version controls the opacity of icons that have been selected with the mouse.) Text ShadowingThe second six entries can be used to enable a text shadow to be painted with the icon labels. The offsets are in pixels. Setting them to 0 (the defaults) will disable the shadows entirely. Again, the 'selected-' versions apply to icons that have been selected with the mouse. Icon SpacingThe third four entries set spacing and sizing for individual icons on the grid. The 'cell-spacing' property specifies the spacing between each 'cell' in the grid of icons. The 'cell-padding' property sets extra padding placed around each icon+text. The units for these two are in pixels. The 'cell-text-width-proportion' property specifies the maximum width of the text label underneath the icon, as a multiplier of the icon width (so for 30px icons, '2.5' would leave a 75px wide area underneath for the text). Icon Label Background ColorThe fourth three entries set the color of the rounded text background.* NORMAL sets the color for the regular, unselected state. * SELECTED sets the color for when the icon is selected, and the desktop has keyboard/mouse focus. * ACTIVE sets the color for when the icon is selected, but the desktop does not have keyboard/mouse focus.Icon Label Text ColorThe final three entries set the color of the label text. See above for the differences between NORMAL, SELECTED, and ACTIVE.
omskates.The suggestions in your second posting have worked. I now have white letters without the boxes - which is what I wanted.I don't actually need a lightweight desktop as I have quite a powerful computer, but I just like XFCE very much.
For information, logging back in doesn't overwrite the gtkrc-2.0 file.Thank you very much for all your help. I really do appreciate it.CheersKeith
