Draw whatever the hell you want.Alright...
I'm pretty sure this is going to be a rant (not that I have ever posted those before ) but bear with me because I just... I got to say something about this subject.
"You have a lot of talent and you waste it on drawing stupid dogs!"
"Don't you understand that series is for CHILDREN? You're too old!"
"If you want people to take your work seriously, stop drawing stupid animals!"
"All you draw is cats. Can't you draw anything else? I'm so done with your unoriginal bullshit art."
"Wolves, wolves, wolves. All you ever draw is wolves! BORING!"
"Are we ever going to see anything but shitty cartoon dogs from you?"
I'm sure all of us at some point in our artistic lives have dealt with someone who decided it was a good idea to rag on your choice of artwork subject matter. If not yet, you will... trust me. We ALL go through it.
It's hard enough to deal with it from strangers but it's another thing when it comes from people you know. Family, friends,

The Pixlett fraud has been fixed!I have some AMAZING NEWS ;A;
Everyone who has been scammed by Pixlett / ToxicMutagen is getting fully reimbursed by Paypal for our losses!
First off, the other night, when I logged onto Paypal, I saw messages that the chargebacks filed against me had been closed! :'D
In the "Status Details" section, it appears as though Paypal actually decided to investigate against Pixlett and realized that maybe HEY, THIS IS SUSPICIOUS AFTER ALL
Then, when I checked my email last night, I had some emails from Paypal.
They wrote that they are making an exception to the chargeback rule, and fully refunding me ALL money that I lost due to Pixlett (from the first incident in July!)
(P.S. I don't know why the percentage signs are showing up in the email, but the amounts are how much I got chargebacked for.)
So yes, this means that WE WON.
After being told by Paypal over and over that

A Guide to Writing DialogueWhat is dialogue, exactly? The definition from Merriam-Webster's dictionary was several lines long, so I shall summarize it in a short sentence for the sake of the readers; it's the writing that illustrates conversations between two or more characters in a story. We read and hear it all around us, but creating it in your own work can be a challenge. However, if you find dialogue an obstacle in your writing, then don't push the panic button. In this tutorial, you'll find by analyzing what dialogue can do and how to use it, you can turn your greatest fear into your greatest ally in your story.
What dialogue is
Like I've asserted before, dialogue is basically what the characters are saying to each other. It can be found in multiple mediums such as books, movies, comics, video games, etc. We even engage in dialogue daily without even thinking. When you talk to your best friend, a co-worker, or even your dog, you create dialogue. It's exchang
five.Five is the number of times you worry he's stopped breathing, as the surgeons carve around his heart, twisting away the plaque ridden arteries, and pulling a vein out of his leg. Five is the number of heart wrenching hours you and your family were waiting in the hospital room, worried that your lives would crumble, that there would be five members of the family instead of six, that five days out of the week he would not come home for dinner, that five kisses from him would no longer be given to his wife and four children. Five was the amount of fingernails you bit off while watching people enter and exit the waiting room, and the amount of minutes your mother spent on the phone, explaining that something was wrong. Five is the critical difference between holding a father's hand as your mother cries into his heart shaped pillow. The difference between rejoicing and smiling weakly because he's okay or carrying your father's American-flag-covered-casket and watchin

The Bee Man
Konrad Bouffard, the man behind Round Rock Honey, is giving Austinites a glimpse into the secret lives of bees.
The air is cool, around 56 degrees, at the Round Rock Honey Beekeeping Academy, and as a result we don't hear any buzzing as we near the tidy row of hives, anonymous in our identical white beekeeping suits. Konrad Bouffard, the school's owner and a Master Beekeeper, and Lance Wilson, the class instructor, explain that at around this temperature, the bees cluster for warmth, forming a tight ball within the hive. They also slow down to conserve energy, so the only bees we see at first are parked atop the wooden boxes, almost motionless.
Once the duo has their smokers working, which are used to calm the bees, Bouffard pours a line with honey at the base of the first box. The bees respond almost immediately, crawling out from the lowermost opening and soon covering the sweet line, which Bouffard explains they will clean and recycle. As he pries open the hive, the diverse class of 17 students from Austin, Round Rock and beyond, ranging from early 20-somethings to grandparents, draws a collective breath. The feeling of wonder, usually unique to children, is almost palpable, as we all gather closer to witness the activity inside the hive. Even Bouffard, who has been keeping bees for over a decade, shares our awe. "No matter how much time is spent in the bee yard, it's never enough," he says. "Bees cannot be figured out, they are far too complex. They have moods and personalities, and they are both very predictable and unpredictable. There is a spark of the divine in the hive." As he lifts out the first frame to show us the honey, some of the bees take flight. Rather than buzzing around us, as they would do in the summer months, they quickly alight on our suits, with some people attracting more than others due to scented shampoos and perfumes. From the safety of our canvas suits, we have the opportunity to observe these amazing insects up close, as they crawl over the mesh veils guarding our faces, some subtly raising and lowering their stings, which Bouffard explains is a sign of aggression, occurring as they release a scent signaling danger to the rest of the hive. He places a pollen patty, made from water, pollen (a protein source) and honey, in the hive, which quickly attracts and excites the bees. The next frame he lifts is abuzz with activity. He is even able to point out some of the bees doing their remarkable "round dance," which communicates not only that a food source is nearby, but exactly where it is as well.
After making our way down the row of Langstroth hives, opening and inspecting each one for pests, checking on production and feeding the bees one pollen patty per hive, it is time to return to the classroom for a recap and honey tasting. In addition to running the school, Bouffard's primary business is in raw, all-natural honey sales via Round Rock Honey, which he started in 2003. He opened the Beekeeping Academy in 2007, partially as a backup for times when honey production is low due to unusually high temperatures and drought, and expanded it this spring in anticipation of the extreme summer, making it the largest beekeeping school in the world with approximately 4,500 students attending classes annually at their ever-growing number of schools in Texas and across the United States. At $125, the introductory class lasts about two and a half hours and is offered each weekend, weather permitting. It provides a basic introduction to bees, beekeeping and honey production, with half of the time spent in the classroom and half on-site at the apiary. Bouffard explains that this class is for "people looking for information and a fun experience." The school also offers a Master Beekeeping course, which takes about a year to complete and covers honey harvesting, bee removal, swarming and more. Thus far, Bouffard reports that with a few exceptions, the students who have completed this course and set out to start their own apiaries have had success. He recommends starting the Master class in January, and says that by March a student could set up their own hive and have their first honey harvest somewhere between April and June.
Although the hives we visited as a class are set up for educational purposes and the honey produced there is not sold, Round Rock Honey has apiaries with 12 to 15 hives per site scattered throughout Central Texas in more than 90 different locations to ensure the most diverse mix of local pollens possible, making it an obvious choice for allergy sufferers in the area seeking relief. Rather than varietal honey, Round Rock Honey is a true wildflower honey, so the flavor and composition varies based on the plants that are in-season when the honey is harvested. The harvesting and packaging process is designed to keep the honey all-natural and raw. It is never heated or filtered through diatomaceous earth, so the pollens, trace minerals and complex sugars are not compromised. Bouffard, who has a culinary background, achieves the dark gold color and unique flavor in his honey by carefully blending the honeys gathered from his different apiary sites. "When you heat honey, it breaks down the sugars, and all the good things that are in honey. We know how to blend honey in such a way and how to treat it once it comes out of the hive — meaning that we don't treat it," Bouffard explains. "All that taken together makes for the world of our trade secrets." Round Rock Honey is available at some farmers markets, grocery stores, including Whole Foods, Central Market and most H-E-Bs, specialty shops and restaurants in town, such as TRACE and Truluck's, but Bouffard recommends ordering it online from roundrockhoney.com, since they provide free home delivery in the Austin and Dallas areas.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Immediately to the right of Dave's Dilemma. This is a 100 ft line with no early bail out; so bring a 60 m rope or doubles. A tricky move over the little "roof" at the third and fourth bolts leads up to classic crimpfest route finding. For the tall climber, this move may be 5.12a, but for most of us we will have to hike our feet up a tiny vertical edge before reaching over the "roof". Be tall, or have some ape ancestors. Sometimes all a route needs is a great feature to draw the eye. On this one, it is a very improbable flake jutting at right angles to the wall. Go for it. It's the only jug, and it is killer.
QD only. Double bolt anchor at the top. Another long route, so bring 15 draws and something for the top.

Crystal Palace boss hopes new boy Ince will remain an Eagle beyond the season's end
9:28am Monday 3rd February 2014 in Sport
Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis is hoping that new boy Tom Ince will remain an Eagle when his loan spell expires.
Ince signed a deal until the end of the season, turning down Stoke City, Hull City and Swansea City in the process.
However, Pulis is hopeful that Ince will stay at Selhurst Park, having guided Palace to another season in the top flight.
The 22-year-old England U21 winger was unavailable for the Arsenal defeat, although he travelled with the team, but he is expected to line up against West Brom this weekend.
Pulis said: "First of all we hope Tom helps us stay in the Premier League. Then we hope to convince him to stay with us.
"He is a very talented player, and I don't just mean in terms of scoring goals. He is an intelligent player, he makes good runs and is a real handful.
"He has played something like 100 league games, so it is time for him to make that step up and we are convinced he will cope."

Though there wasn't any particularly visible recognition, the recent commencement ceremony at the Air Force Academy was an important milestone: there were openly gay cadets graduating for the first time. The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell only took effect last September, meaning this is the first time someone could have come out while enrolled in the academy without fear of discharge. ABC News caught up with some of the graduates to discuss how (minimally) the repeal DADT impacted their experience:

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has a broken arm. It happened when the Patriots kicked an extra point on the final touchdown of a 59-24 stomping of the Indianapolis Colts. Naturally, Gronk's injury touched off a round of moral outrage.
Value judgements are a hot trend in the NFL this year. Two weeks ago we were debating whether or not Charles Tillman had the right to miss work for the birth of his child. Last week, a spate of high-profile concussions sent pundits and fans racing to Twitter and their blogs to stake out positions in the debate over player safety. Sunday night, fans and pundits raced to Twitter to stake out a value judgement on Gronk, Belichick and poetic justice.
"The Belichick Way" may have burned Belichick today. Losing Gronk is a major, major development. Just look at the offense in Super Bowl.— P. Schrager (@PSchrags) November 19, 2012
You can probably save your outrage for worthier causes. Context is everything in the case of Gronkowski's broken arm.
Gronk was in as part of the extra point unit. Tight ends, even top guys like Gronkowski, are often regulars on the special teams units. Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is another example of a star tight end that sees his share of snaps with the other units.
New England ran the ball on eight of the last 10 plays. The last Patriots' touchdown belonged to Shane Vereen, the backup running back. It was the extra point attempt following that touchdown when Gronkowski broke his arm. Belichick playing his star tight end on the extra point team doesn't really qualify as running up the score.
If you just want to kick dirt in Belichick's face, a reasonable exercise for many NFL fans, his decision to put top players at additional risk on special teams is fair game. Then again, can you honestly recall many injuries on an extra point attempt? Probably not.
It's fun to hate on the Patriots, especially if your team has been the subject of one of Bill Belichick's peeping tom practice incursions or some other transgression. However, Gronk's injury is just a fluke thing, not karma.

The Arizona Cardinals made headlines when they selected Tyrann Mathieu in the third round, but despite his off-the-field issues, most reacted positively to Mathieu's selection.
The Cardinals are an intriguing fit for Mathieu as not only did they select his teammate Kevin Minter in the second round, but Arizona has several LSU players on its roster. Among them is Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is very good friends with Mathieu. Peterson was excited to be reunited with Mathieu.
Yessir! No better person I would want to line up next in an @azcardinals uniform then @mathieu_era Lets go to work!!#Badger&P2 #DontBlink— Patrick Peterson (@RealPeterson21) April 27, 2013
Peterson wasn't the Cardinal cornerback to praise the selection. NFL Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams also praised Mathieu following the pick.
Congrats to my fellow New Orleanian Tyrann Mathieu!3rd round to the Cardinals!Guess who was the last Cardinals 3rd round CB from New Orleans— Aeneas Williams(@aeneas35) April 27, 2013
Arizona has more ties to Mathieu than just his former teammates. Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles is familiar with Mathieu as his step-daughter once dated Mathieu.
Arizona knows what it's getting in the Honey Badger, that's for sure: Cardinals DC Todd Bowles' step-daughter has dated CB Tyrann Matthieu.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 27, 2013
Mathieu had issues off the field and was reportedly suspended for failing multiple drug tests, but during an interview with ESPN, Mathieu said he will undergo weekly drug tests with the Cardinals.
Tyrann Mathieu just said on air that he has agreed to take a weekly drug test with the Cardinals— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 27, 2013
#Cards Mathieu on contract, "If it's a drug test on a weekly basis, then that's what I have to do.I'm all for it"#CardsDraft— Craig Grialou (@Craig620) April 27, 2013
While his history off the field could make Mathieu a risk, it wouldn't be the first time Arizona gambled on a player with character question marks. Their last gamble turned out fairly well.
Cardinals hoping history repeats itself with pick of Mathieu. Darnell Dockett wasn't squeaky clean either when they got him in 3d round.— Michael Smith (@michaelsmith) April 27, 2013
Arizona fans are also in support of the pick. Members of Revenge of the Birds were excited about the selection with many predicting him to be an impact player for Arizona. More fan reaction can be found here.

I would press it undoubtably, but the real question ... what happens when you press it twice ?
I'd be in the back, watching it all go down.
I would press it undoubtably, but the real question ... what happens when you press it twice ?
Do they pay you when you appear as 'random stranger off the street' in some random stranger off the street promo? Cause it would be pretty obvious to me that that's what was going on, and I'm not sure I want to be the idiot that sits there holding the briefcase full of cash while being secretly recorded, just so some insurance company can say 'we're good guys, just like you are'.
Also, lol@caliph's non sequitur.
Without watching the link (at work), I push people's buttons every day, what's one more?
Sabïna of Whipe @ Frostmane EU, no longer playing. Youtube Channel
----> Diablo 3, 1-60 in 15 minutes /played
haha, knew it would be this film again. To date still one of the best add's
edit: and no I wouldent push that button if that happens haha.
One reason for WoW decline I often hear is that its an old game and naturally people get bored with it. But TV is much older and people still watch that. Surely if a thing you once enjoyed keept staying fun, you would still use it?
I can see the red buton but where's the cube ?
Edit : I would totaly press it because you know, it's a red button.

is said button big? red? and have warnings of imminent doom and destruction if said button is pressed?
If the answer to any of those is yes...the button is already pressed
At the Men In Black ride at Universal Studios they have a Red button on the ride which the signs say don't press. So, I didn't and at the end of the ride I asked one of the attendants what it was for and of course he said "You were supposed to press it". Now, everytime I go on that ride I press it.
OT cool video and cool promotion. I was surprised none of the people ran away or called the police.
Yay! stuff is happening over here!
ot, yes I would

Chester Nimitz: Early Life & Career:
Chester W. Nimitz was born at Fredericksburg, TX on February 24, 1885 and was the son of Chester B. and Anna Nimitz. Nimitz's father died before he was born and as a young man he was influenced by his grandfather Charles H. Nimitz who had served as a merchant seaman. Attending Tivy High School, Kerrville, TX, Nimitz originally wished to attend West Point but was unable to do so as no appointments were available. Meeting with Congressman James L. Slayden, Nimitz was informed that one competitive appointment was available to Annapolis.
Viewing the US Naval Academy as his best option for continuing his education, Nimitz devoted himself to studying and succeeded in winning the appointment. Arriving at Annapolis in 1901, he proved an able student and graduated with distinction on January 30, 1905, ranked 7th in a class of 114. Assigned to the battleship USS Ohio, he traveled to the Far East. Remaining in the Orient, he later served aboard the cruiser USS Baltimore. In January 1907, having completed the required two years at sea, Nimitz was commissioned as a ensign.
Submarines & Diesel Engines:
Leaving Baltimore, he served on several destroyers during 1907, including USS Decatur. While conning Decatur, Nimitz grounded the ship on a mud bank in the Philippines. Though he rescued a seaman from drowning in the wake of the incident, Nimitz was court-martialed and issued a letter of reprimand. Returning home, he was transferred to the submarine service in early 1909. Promoted to lieutenant in January 1910, Nimitz commanded several early submarines before being named Commander, 3rd Submarine Division, Atlantic Torpedo Fleet in October 1911.
Ordered to Boston the following month to oversee the fitting out of USS Skipjack (E-1), Nimitz received a silver Lifesaving Medal for rescuing a drowning sailor in March 1912. Leading the Atlantic Submarine Flotilla from May 1912 to March 1913, Nimitz was assigned to oversee the construction of diesel engines for the tanker USS Maumee. While in this assignment, he married Catherine Vance Freeman in April 1913. That summer, the US Navy dispatched Nimitz to Germany and Belgium to study diesel technology. Returning, he became one of the service's foremost experts on diesel engines.
Nimitz in World War I:
Re-assigned to Maumee, Nimitz lost part of his right ring finger in demonstration of a diesel engine. He was only saved when his Annapolis class ring jammed the engine's gears. Returning to duty, he was made the ship's executive officer and engineer upon its commissioning in October 1916. With the US entry into World War I, Nimitz, now a lieutenant commander, returned to submarines as an aide to Rear Admiral Samuel S. Robinson, commander of the US Atlantic Fleet's submarine force. Made Robinson's chief of staff in February 1918, Nimitz received a letter of commendation for his work.
The Interwar Years:
With the war winding down in September 1918, he saw duty in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations and was a member of the Board of Submarine Design. Returning to sea in May 1919, Nimitz was made executive officer of the battleship USS South Carolina. After brief service as the commander of USS Chicago and Submarine Division 14, he entered the Naval War College in 1922. Graduating he became chief of staff to Commander, Battle Forces and later Commander-in-Chief, US Fleet. In August 1926, Nimitz traveled to the University of California-Berkeley to establish a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps Unit.
Promoted to captain on June 2, 1927, Nimitz departed Berkeley two years later to take command of Submarine Division 20. In October 1933, he was given command of the cruiser USS Augusta. Principally serving as flagship of the Asiatic Fleet, he remained in the Far East for two years. Arriving back in Washington, Nimitz was appointed Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. After a brief time in this role, he was made Commander, Cruiser Division 2, Battle Force. Promoted to rear admiral on June 23, 1938, he was transferred to be Commander, Battleship Division 1, Battle Force that October.
Nimitz in World War II:
Coming ashore in 1939, he was selected to serve as Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. He was in this role when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Ten days later, Nimitz was selected to replace Admiral Husband Kimmel as Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet. Traveling west, he arrived at Pearl Harbor on Christmas Day. Officially taking command on December 31, Nimitz immediately began efforts to rebuild the Pacific Fleet and halt the Japanese advance across the Pacific.
On March 30, 1942, Nimitz was also made Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas giving him control of all Allied forces in the central Pacific. Initially operating on the defensive, Nimitz's forces won a strategic victory at the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, which halted Japanese efforts to capture Port Moresby, New Guinea. The following month, they scored a decisive triumph over the Japanese at the Battle of Midway. With reinforcements arriving, Nimitz shifted to the offensive and began a protracted campaign in the Solomon Islands in August, centered on the capture of Guadalcanal.
In late 1965, Nimitz suffered a stroke which was later complicated by pneumonia. Returning to his home on Yerba Buena Island, Nimitz died on February 20, 1966. Following his funeral, he was buried at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, CA.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. Forest officials have shut down a popular lava tube cave near Flagstaff as crews tackle a small wildfire burning in the area.
The Wild Bill Fire has burned nearly 30 acres northwest of Flagstaff. It was 50 percent contained Friday evening.
The Coconino National Forest says smoke will be visible from Flagstaff, Bellemont, Interstate 40 and U.S. 180 for the next couple of days.
Forest spokeswoman Brienne Magee says no structures are threatened by the fire. It's expected to be fully contained Saturday afternoon.
She says the Lava River Cave would be closed through Friday as a precaution.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Seven Old Dominion University programs rank among the nation's Top 100 in research and development (R&D) expenditure categories reported this month by the National Science Foundation.
The high-ranking programs are aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering, oceanography, mechanical engineering, education, civil engineering and mathematics, according to the R&D data for fiscal year 2004 released by the NSF.
The university is ranked 74th in the nation for overall engineering R&D expenditures. As a subcategory, aeronautical engineering garners ODU's highest ranking, at 21st.
Engineering results for ODU this year are generally higher across the board. R&D expenditures for 2003, which were reported last summer by the NSF, placed ODU at 90th for overall engineering and 26th for aeronautical engineering.
"This is excellent progress," said ODU president Roseann Runte, who is the chief proponent of the school's strategic-plan goal to break into the nation's Top 100 in overall research ranking. "One can easily see the improvement and how it will continue."
Among the 601 colleges and universities included in the survey, ODU is 181st in total R&D expenditures, rising six places from 187th in the report last year.
Mohammad A. Karim, ODU vice president for research, said he believes university researchers are on the right trajectory. "Engineering and all its subfields have moved ahead, beyond where they were a year ago. This year, we are seeing mathematics, oceanography and education also in the league. With significant efforts that are ongoing, I envision other fields also rising in the rankings in the near future."
Some ODU rankings from the latest NSF report:
· Electrical engineering: 28th in total expenditures, 30th in federal expenditures
· Oceanography: 37th in federal expenditures
· Mechanical engineering: 71st in federal expenditures; 83rd in total expenditures
· Education: 58th in federal expenditures
· Civil engineering: 80th in federal expenditures; 83rd in total expenditures
· Mathematics: 97th in federal expenditures
· ODU overall: 42nd in NASA expenditures
· ODU overall: 86th in Department of Defense expenditures
"Several years back, engineering established a number of centers and institutes to energize the research enterprise," said Oktay Baysal, dean of ODU's Batten College of Engineering and Technology. "What we are seeing is a direct result of their success. We have now added six research clusters with the goal of getting us into the top 50."
Richard Gregory, dean of the College of Sciences, said the results for mathematics are impressive because of the large number of math programs in the hunt for research dollars. "With oceanography, we have come to expect our department to be highly productive, doing research in all of the oceans of the world."

Well the Bears ran 28 time and Kevin is saying he was double teamed, they also throw 31 times and Cutler did enter the game leading the league with Jackson and Bradford with 18 sacks each....sure the secondary can share the blame for the passing game too but the dline only got to Cutler once. And Kevin had to sit the first 2 games, Frazier wanted him a rotation his first game back to keep him fresh so I guess the Bears game was his third full game this season, Ayodele and Williams are the 2 starters on the dline that were both shut out with no tackles, assists or sacks and Kevin picked up a roughing the passer with helmet to helmet contact with Cutler. Even that Kevins unhappy about Cutler
Before he hit the ground he was (pointing at his helmet). And then when we were walking down the field he was like, Yeah, I put a little sugar on it, too, Williams said Friday before he found out about the fine.
Its not like the league hasn't been making a big deal about touching the princesses in the head before little own making contact helmet to helmet.
As a nine year vet I think I'd rather hear something like we need to step up as a unit or a team with better execution as these divional games are important and always though on the road and leave it at that.

by Idaho Vandals Athletics
Full pads translates to full-contact football and for the Idaho Vandals it was a welcome feeling as fall camp 2012 continued.
"We had a good practice today," coach Robb Akey said after the Vandals had their first practice in full gear Monday evening. "They did get after each other."
Monday's practice set the stage for the first of three fall scrimmages. Tuesday's game-like session begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Kibbie Dome.
"They're anxious to get after it in the scrimmage tomorrow," Akey said. "I'm anxious to see how they're going to perform; what they've picked up. I'm looking forward to it as much as they are."
The scrimmage will be one step in settling the battles at a number of starting positions up for grabs. While attention has centered around the competition between Taylor Davis and Dominique Blackman for the starting quarterback role, the line in front of them has yet to be determined as well. There is experience back at virtually every position - sorting out who will earn the starting nod when the Vandals open the 2012 against Eastern Washington remains.
Idaho scrimmages twice more - Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and Aug. 16 at 2:30 p.m., during fall camp.

Stop Body Piercing On Minors
AGAINST THE BODY PIERCING OF MINORS After seeing a video(see link)on a myspace depicting a 4 day old baby having her ears pierced with a needle, it sparked huge debates on many chat forums,and the findings were that the vast majority of people shared the views that infants this young should not be pierced! There must be regulations in place for an age limit of 5 years old where the child is able to speak and express an intrest. If you disagree with children being pierced below 5 years old please join us and sign. Many thanks for reading, Pinks xXx

Amarillo,Texas - The Texas Air & Space Museum at English Field held a special tribute to shuttle commander Rick Husband Friday.The museum displayed several pieces of NASA memorabilia: a shuttle training aircraft that Husband trained in, a flight suit he wore during training flights, and his personal vehicle. Many of the items displayed were from the private collection of James Holt of Pampa, who is an avid collector of NASA items. Friday marked the 10th anniversary of when Rick Husband died with his crew mates on board space shuttle Columbia.

ALLEN — An Allen charity has had some very bad luck; all at a time when the demand for its help is high.
Leaders at Allen Community Outreach say costly repairs could impact the number of families they serve.
The people who run the agency knew something was wrong when they opened the mail. "Our water bill tripled in one month," said Glenda May, ACO Executive Director.
City workers discovered a water leak under the driveway. Repair crews dug a trench, closing the parking lot for days. The cost to fix the leak: $7,500.
But ACO's bad luck didn't end there.
Two industrial air conditioning/heating units stopped working. That created problems in the food pantry, which serves 600 people every month.
"Without temperature control, we had to be real careful about spoilage," said Stacy Cooper, ACO's Development Director.
The organization replaced the two bad A/C units immediately. That cost them another $10,000.
"It's approximately $18,000 for the total for both the water leak and two units on top of the building," May said.
With $18,000 spent on repairs, there is less money available for services, including providing the needy with food, clothing, rent and utility bills.
"Basically, we will have to turn away 43 families next year if we don't recoup this $18,000."
The 27-year-old agency vows to continue providing families with the care and help they need. But they say the unexpected repairs created a burden they hope to remedy with the help of the community.

Let's talk a little bit about sound quality.
If you own a Lexus, then you already know what it means to have a truly superb sound system—not just a good system, but one that approaches home-theater quality in a vehicle (no exaggeration).
Lexus' sound quality, of course, is the result of a 12-year-old partnership between the automaker and Mark Levinson[1], which makes some of the best home-entertainment systems in the world. Over the years, Lexus engineers have worked with Mark Levinson sound specialists (even bringing in noted musicians on occasion) to tailor the ideal speaker arrangements for each Lexus model's acoustical qualities.
Lately, Lexus' mission has been not only to improve in-vehicle sound—Lexus' constant goal is "flawless realism," like a personal concert—but also to reduce power consumption, heat, and weight. The CT Hybrid's bamboo speakers are a good example.
So with the 2013 GS arriving in February, Lexus and Mark Levinson decided to go big with this concept—an entirely new 835-watt[2], 17-speaker[3] Mark Levinson Premium Audio System (optional) built with what's called GreenEdge components.
> Five Unity Extended Bandwidth speakers (two speakers in each: a 90 mm midrange and 16 mm tweeter)
> Two 180 x 250 mm HiE woofers with aramid composite cones and neodymium magnets
> Two 25 mm titanium dome tweeters with neodymium magnets
> Two 170 mm HiE midwoofers
> One 250 mm double opposing magnet subwoofer with aramid composite cones
> Plus: an 835-watt Class D DSP amplifier
The system is essentially the LED light bulb of the audio world: it delivers twice the performance at half the energy.
From the driver's perspective, "twice the performance" means richer musicality, lower sound distortion at all listening levels (low volume and high volume), and reduced sound loss.
Sound output is also higher, so it adds to the effects Lexus and Mark Levinson have already achieved with previous systems: a "three-dimensional" sound that doesn't seem to come from the footwells, the ability to clearly pick out individual instruments, and passenger-enveloping, live-performance-like sounds throughout the cabin.
On the "half the energy" side of things, there's reduced electrical load on the vehicle's alternator, lower audio-system operating temperatures, and less componentry weight, all of which contribute to the vehicle's overall efficiency. To quote Mark Levinson, the GreenEdge set-up "can play 3dBA louder with 74 percent less power consumed" than previous Mark Levinson audio systems.
All of this is the result of several engineering breakthroughs, such as new high-efficiency speaker transducers that produce higher-sound pressures at lower power levels. Right now, these are the highest-performance loudspeakers available for automotive original-equipment use.
Other breakthroughs include Mark Levinson's Unity Extended Bandwidth transducers; they have just one motor but two speaker diaphragms, which, when compared to a typical coaxial speaker, run cooler and about 50 percent more efficiently.
The 2013 GS sedan's Mark Levinson Premium Surround System also employs the GreenEdge technology's new high-voltage amplifier design, first used in top-tier Mark Levinson home entertainment systems.
These next-generation amplifiers put out a remarkable 125 watts per channel while operating on less power than previous amps, and are combined with a new "Spectral Manager" software designed to sharply capture sudden changes in music levels, like cymbals crashing or drops to a low bass guitar riff.
Of course, hearing is believing—the 2013 GS arrives in dealerships in February, so the next time you're in, just pop into a new GS driver's seat and have the dealer show you the new available audio system.

FRANKFORT, KY (WDRB) -- In a speech that drew more tweets than applause, Gov. Steve Beshear gave a sobering look at how state budget cuts have harmed students, classrooms and Kentuckians over the past five years.
And he pointed to a broken tax system and a growing pension deficit as the two main culprits.
"Our schools aren't treading water. They are slowly sinking," Beshear said. "We have to stop putting off uncomfortable decisions for future generations. We have to stop pretending that these problems aren't holding us back. Because they are."
During a joint session of the General Assembly, the governor pointed to slashed funding for education that he claimed has hurt students, and cut programs to help working parents.
"Over the past year, in national debates about the fiscal cliff and other issues, you've heard warnings about 'kicking the can down the road.' It's almost become a national slogan, and yes, that phrase is cliche. But phrases come cliche because they ring true. And here in Kentucky - right here - right now, that cliche rings true," said Beshear.
The governor said the projected 3 percent growth for this fiscal year was already spent cover debts for Medicaid, pension requirements and other costs.
He called on lawmakers to fix a pension system carrying $30 billion deficit and what he called an "outdated tax code." Republican Minority House Leader Jeff Hoover said the speech was essentially lip service that lacked specifics.
"How can we get this discussion started? How can we find a solution, how can we reach consensus? And I didn't hear any of that. That's what is disturbing about whole speech," said Rep. Jeff Hoover, R - Jamestown.
Rep. Rick Rand, D - Bedford and chairman of the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee, said he thought the governor's speech said what needed to be said to lawmakers.
"I think he did a great job of laying out the issues we face and the path we should take," Rand said.
Beshear made no mention of expanded gambling (a campaign issue he was elected on in 2007, which twiced failed to gain momento among lawmakers) or legalizing hemp. He did call for support for a statewide smoking ban.
"You guys count the applauses there were very few," said Hoover.
Beshear says taxes and pension reform must be dealt with at the same time.
"We must find solutions to them this year," he said, hinting that a special session might be required to tackle both issues following the 30-day session.
Kerri Richardson, a spokeswoman for the governor, told reporters before the speech that the governor supports such measures as the local sales tax option, which Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer has pushed for to help Louisville generate more revenue.

For this year's event, Berrie followed the growing digital trend -- joining art and technology. All the art will be displayed via screens, digital installations and projections; there will be nothing tangible at the showcase.
"Last year we featured artists all under the age of 35 based in New York City because we believed it was an important platform to push local emerging artists who did not necessarily have gallery representation," said Berrie. "This year, our artists are equally emerging but work in the medium of digital, video or Internet art. We felt that there is a trend in contemporary art that is moving towards digital media and the internet and we wanted to capture that in our show by featuring young, up and coming artists who we feel are at the forefront of that movement."
To gather those artists, Berrie enlisted the help of Emmett Shine and James Cruickshank of LOLA New York as curators. The duo has collaborated with Art Rocks! for three years, and it's a growing partnership that has acclimated itself to changes not only in the art world but in the economy. As such, moving into digital was a natural result of where the rest of the world has headed, Shine said.
"Digital or Internet Art is creative, autodidactic, collaborative and innovative. This year's crop of artists embody this spirit and creativity," Shine told WWD. "They have a deep understanding and knowledge of modern and traditional art history in addition to referencing, incorporating or re-interpolating popular culture and up-to-the-minute memes."
Contributors include Austin Peters, Rene Abythe, Gordon Stevenson, Ryder Ripps, Sterling Crispin, Rafael Rozendaal and Brendan Lynch.
To host the event, Berrie brought in fashion (and reality TV) darlings Chris Benz and Brad Goreski. "I felt that both Brad and Chris, who epitomize the next generation in the fashion industry, truly represent the Art Rocks! mission, which is to support young, up and coming talent in all creative fields," Berrie told WWD.
Tickets for the one-night showcase are available at artrocks2011.com

Formerly a cold storage unit for frozen foods, Milne's Cold Storage & Ice Factory was transformed ten years ago into Perth, a Scotland nightclub featuring top-of-the-line Martin gear. Today, a recent refurbishment that again includes Martin lighting, Jem smoke and Mach audio gear has secured The Ice Factory (formerly Perth) as one of Scotland's hottest nightclubs for another decade.
Hot New Lights
The Ice Factory consists of three dance areas–Casbah, Funky, and the Ice Factory's main room. Michael Jordan, managing director of Nightclub Sound and Light (NSAL), a Martin preferred dealer located in Perth, provided the lighting, smoke and sound gear for all rooms.
The Ice Factory is in fact Jordan's local club. "I'm actually a DJ at the club and The Ice Factory is the reason I got involved with Martin years ago. I wanted to be able to service this venue," he states. "I kept the lighting going for ten years and now I'm one of the biggest dealers in Scotland. This was a top Martin install when it opened ten years ago with 1220s, 218s and RoboColor IIs and now with the refurbishment we've added some of Martin's latest gear to make it even better than it was before."
The Ice Factory upgrade debuted on March 5th. The new lighting system in the main Ice Factory room features MAC 250 Kryptons, Wizard effect lights and Atomic strobes.
Jordan wanted to fill the club's large dancefloor with beam and gobo patterns, so he chose the Martin Mac 250 Krypton for its diversity and quality. "The lighting show had to be state of the art and modern and I was looking for a long term solution," he explains. "Like the older equipment, I thought the MAC 250 Krypton would serve the Ice Factory for 10 years. The versatility of the Krypton was an important factor as it could be minimalistic, and we could use the height of the club as well."
The main lighting element in the dance area is a circular truss with Wizards and MAC 250 Kryptons. Since Jordan works in the club as a DJ, he knew first hand the need for a circular rig: "The design and layout of the round rig is something that's been on my mind for this venue for a while, knowing several years ago that it was getting a refurbishment."
Additional Kryptons and MAC 300s for color wash grace square shaped trussing on either end of the dancefloor while ample trim heights allow the Atomic 3000 strobes to be flown high, a considerate requisite due to their powerful output. "We've opened the place up by shining light everywhere," Jordan says. "The idea of the positioning was to get light everywhere–getting a good flow of light. It looks very impressive."
Additionally, a Martin Mania DC1 decorates the back wall of the bar with fluid effects that look as if water were flowing down the wall. Lighting at The Ice Factory is controlled via a DJ version Martin LightJockey.
Still Sounds Clear as Ice
The Mach sound system is the original Installation Series sound system consisting of Mach M154i 2-way medium-throw speakers and M152i and M182i subs. Mach M125i 3-way near field speakers were added several years ago as DJ monitors and recently Mach CS-8 in-ceiling speakers were added for infill purposes.
"In all my years of working in this venue there has never been a failure," Jordan says of the audio system. "The Mach speakers are located in each corner of the dancefloor, in order to get a good spread. Because of the angle flowing toward the dancefloor everything was set up for infill. The main speaker positioning of the M154i is to get the clarity on the dancefloor. They are very, very clear."
In addition to The Ice Factory's main dance area, the Casbah features MiniMACs and a full Mach sound system. After ten years of faultless service, Jordan reports that the Casbah's Mach sound system remains unpolluted and exact.
Downstairs, Funky is outfitted with MAC 250 Kryptons, RoboScan 812 scanners and Martin Architectural Alien 05 color changers. Jem smoke machines provide atmospheric haze and mid-air lighting canopy in all three rooms.
Besides drawing new patrons and adding to The Ice Factory's popularity, the lighting, sound, and smoke upgrade is also an attractive element for world-class DJs like Judge Jules, Paul Van Dyke and others. Jordan reports that the refurbishment has been a big success, garnering praise from customers and DJs alike. "People know when you've spent money on your venue," he says.
