If there's a trademark, even if you are unaware of it, it's still illegal to copy (and especially sell) anything with the likeness. For instance, you're screwed if your name is McDonald and you want to name a burger joint after yourself. McDonald's even sued a Japanese restaurant trying to sell "McSushi." Not sure if this counts as a violation though.

Take an extra five minutes looking at photos next time, eh? ;)

taninniver wrote:The anatomy of the wings here is seriously messing with my head - there doesn't seem to be any definition of the primary feathers, nor any real nod to skeletal joints and reference points, etc. The left wing especially rather looks to me like an angle with a random, ragged edge attached.

It seems the focus here was on the background, when the bird should have gotten equal attention to make it a solid, overall design.
its the right wing. its needs to be rotated out a bit more to give impression of flight, or open like the other. its nice to see you branching away from shiny though ramyb.

It's not really branching from anything, though. It's still horrible swirlies, it's still too dark to look like anything worth wearing, and the anatomy is still mostly a deformed, anime-style anatomy. It doesn't make it less generic or better executed.

I'd rather have artists who are pro censorship than artists who are pro thieving. Art does nothing for a society if it is generic. It does nothing if ANYONE is allowed in, even if they're taking other people's sources and making their own. That's not what riff has done here, but it is what CT does, and it is certainly widespread in this sort of "collage" style. It's not about censorship. It's about shirt.woot living up to the idea of "original and exclusive" they set out in their FAQ. It's about pushing artists to stop relying on crutches and start working toward originality again. That should be what EVERY artist is for.

Skin Cancer Screenings More Important Than Ever
Posted: May 26, 2010
Spa professionals need to make sure to point out any concerning moles or lesions to clients and work with them to ensure that they see a dermatologist as soon as possible when a spot is found. You could be saving the life of a client.
Now there are twice as many reasons people should visit a dermatologist for yearly skin cancer exams. According to a recent study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, people with a history of nonmelanoma lesions face twice the risk of developing other cancers.
Those systemic malignancies include melanoma, lung, colon and breast cancers. Patients who develop skin cancers may have inherited a family tendency for other types because of an inadequate ability to repair DNA. In addition, the younger a person gets a nonmelanoma skin cancer, the higher her risk of developing other cancers.
More than one million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year, outnumbering all other cancers combined. One in five Americans will develop the disease at some point, yet it is one of the most preventable types of cancer.
According to dermatopathologist George Hollenberg, MD, medical director of Acupath Laboratories in Long Island, New York, "There is no reason to delay a clinical exam for skin cancer. The risk is just too big."

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cal!
Facts about Cal
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Cal's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cal is a friendly, playful, fun kitten. He'll do well in any type of family. His littermates are Cozbi, Cosmo and Cici, would be great if he could be adopted with one of them so he'll always have a playmate.
If interested in adopting Cal, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.littlemews.org
Other Pets at Little Mews Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cal, a Oxford Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Oxford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Oxford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oxford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Oxford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oxford paves the way for another one to be saved.

One of the more interesting and frank discussions at the United Fresh Washington Public Policy Conference occurred during the Oct. 5 meeting with FDA officials in College Park, Md.
The gist of the discussion was this: the FDA is moving away from the designation of particular commodities as "high risk" as they write the pending produce safety rule. Instead, they are looking at particular agronomic practices - application of manure to produce field, direct application of agricultural water to the edible portion of the plant - rather than considering the risk profile of the commodity alone.
Not all industry members are pleased about the approach. Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual, questioned FDA officials how crops like tree fruit and vine crops - historically untouched by foodborne illness outbreaks - should be subject to the same regulatory burden as commodities that have grabbed headlines with foodborne illness outbreaks.
Don Kraemer, acting deputy director of operations for FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, described what he called "the current thinking of the agency."
"The extent of the standards and controls in the rule varies according to the risk of the agronomic practice," he said. For example, he said that applying water to the edible portion of a crop compared to the root zone can influence the food safety risk significantly. The same can be said of varying practices regarding soil amendments, he said.
"It is our intent to apply higher regulatory burdens on higher risk practices," he said. The FDA knows that various agronomic practices vary by region and vary over time.
"If an agronomic practices is determined a risk, then the rule that ties controls that are in place strictly to a commodity will not take into the account that risk will vary from region to region and may vary as the industry moves to different practices," he said.
Putting a higher regulatory burden on riskier practices should drive the industry towards alternative practices that are not as risky, he said.
Kraemer also said that concerns have been raised commodity-specific standards in multiple row crop operations. "If you define risk solely on the commodity itself you may end up with a high risk crop growing right next to a low risk crop next to a high risk crop," he said. "If the idea was to apply different controls to different crops, you would end up with a fairly unmanageable situation in a small multi-row crop setting."

I hesitated to purchase this product since my skin wasn't terribly dry (until this awful winter weather hit) I was pleasantly surprised after reading a couple of reviews stating that it felt sticky. I had no issues at all with this gel. I have used other products in the Platinum line but this one showed results almost immediately-:softer skin and a difference in smile and forehead lines. if you're like me and don't like to pile on skin products to see results this one may be worth a try.

With just a few weeks left, here's what we know: Either Clemson, Virginia or Virginia Tech will be winning the league — and one of those teams (UVa) may drop out of the running this Saturday. Two five-win teams desperately need a victory this weekend to secure their place in the postseason. While one (Wake Forest) has a pretty good shot, the other (Miami) faces a pretty tough out-of-conference test on the road. NC State is also looking to get themselves a bowl bid, but will need to win a total of seven games (they currently have five, with two games to play) due to an overabundance of FCS teams on the schedule.
*Game of the Week*
Virginia Cavaliers (7-3) (4-2) at Florida State Seminoles (7-3) (5-2): The surprising Cavaliers are just two wins away from playing for an ACC title, while the Seminoles aren't even within sniffing distance of their season-opening top-five ranking. Still, Florida State sports one of the country's best passing attacks, a top-10 defense and a five-game winning streak. Not to mention the fact that this one's in Tallahassee, a graveyard for young, unproven teams. As well as Virginia has played of late, it's too difficult to ignore their weak offense versus an FSU defense that will spend the night blitzing and forcing bad throws. Prediction: Florida St. 31, Virginia 20
The Rest of the Slate (in order of start time):
North Carolina Tar Heels (6-4) (2-4) at Virginia Tech Hokies (9-1) (5-1): The Heels have had two weeks to prepare for this one, but I doubt even a month would have done them any good. Virginia Tech is running on all cylinders late in the season for once, and with the way UNC has failed to show up game-in and game-out this year, don't be surprised if this one gets away from them quickly. UNC's biggest problem is that they do everything marginally well, but fail to be exceptional in any facet of the game — something that will haunt them against one of the FBS's top defenses. Prediction: Virginia Tech 33, UNC 17
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-3) (4-3) at Duke Blue Devils (3-7) (1-5): Scheduling-wise, Georgia Tech caught the buzzsaw in the ACC this season, meeting the league's entire top tier except Florida State. So this will be a welcome break. Given Duke's lack of a run game (113th in the nation) and inability to stop the run, either (the Hokies racked up 243 yards on them two weeks ago), this could be a very long afternoon. Expect the Yellow Jackets to use their dreaded triple-option to excess, with quarterback Tevin Washington probably notching a few touchdowns and at least 250 total yards. Prediction: Georgia Tech 45, Duke 27
Maryland Terrapins (2-8) (1-5) at Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-5) (4-3): As mentioned briefly above, Wake Forest gets a bit of a gift this week facing the woeful Terps at home. Things haven't looked that great for the Demon Deacons of late though, who have been the league's least impressive team, save Maryland, for the past month. Ultimately, this game will come down to whether the Terps can progress the ball through the air against Wake's suspect pass defense. If they can, they stand a chance. But with Maryland's 96th-overall defense, there really isn't much room for their numerous errors, especially against Deacons' QB Tanner Price. Prediction: Wake Forest 35, Maryland 24
Miami (FL) Hurricanes (5-5) at USF Bulls (5-4): Unlike Wake above, Miami very much has to earn win number six this week against a real, competitive team. With USF just one win away from bowl eligibility themselves, it promises to be a struggle. Which Bulls team will show up? The one that dropped two consecutive games when leading with 90 seconds to go, or the one that walloped Syracuse last Friday night? One would figure somewhere in the middle, which unfortunately may not be enough for them to pull out a big non-conference win. Without the strong defensive unit of previous seasons, USF is likely to get torched by Jacory Harris and Lamar Miller all day. Prediction: Miami 27, USF 20
Clemson Tigers (9-1) (6-1) at NC State Wolfpack (5-5) (2-4): This one has all the makings of a trap game. Clemson has the Atlantic Division wrapped up, and so they're likely looking ahead to the final game with South Carolina. NC State, on the other hand, needs to win their final two in order to play in a bowl. While Tigers' QB Tajh Boyd has definitely regressed a bit over the last few games, this might be the one where he bounces back. Expect a big game from him, and the Clemson defense — faced with a one-dimensional offense that plays right to their stronger suit (defending the pass). Prediction: Clemson 38, NC State 14
Boston College Eagles (3-7) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-3): The battle for the title of the FBS's best Catholic school has seen better days, but that doesn't mean this matchup won't be compelling. Mired in one of their worst seasons in a couple decades, BC's still managed to hang tough and win two of their last three — saving themselves from the ACC cellar (probably). Notre Dame has been hot as well, wining seven of their last eight, including an absolute dismantling of Maryland last week. As nice as it's been to see the Eagles strive for respectability these past few weeks, the dream probably stops here. Prediction: Notre Dame 34, Boston College 13
Last Week's Record: 5-3; 2011 Record: 22-12
