i really dont like the pic of ashe next to kat she just looks wirde is this just me or do you people feel like this 2 i think am just picky and mess her snow hair
Kasumi Tengu
she looks better in this pic then she does in her offical lol in game pic...
wtf, her skin is purple. thats just strange
Yeah that is just lighting. It looks odd because nothing besides ashe is effected by her light. In reality we should see some bounce to Katarina and other spots. Though her shading does not really match the light? Confusing.
why do i keep geting down voted

Because you're saying that just because she has light skin and light hair, she's ugly? She from the ****ing snowing mountains, she's pale. deal with it

Heidi : Married for 15 years, expecting our 8th baby in July!
Sponsored Links | |||
Advertisement |
I gave birth to both my babies in a hospital. I was in complete control and my babies were not separated from me at all. Is your hospital that bad? Have you talked to the folks up there and taken a tour?
.....so hard that, since I had a falling out with my CNM and dropped her a few weeks ago, I haven't called and set up an appointment with a new care-provider yet. It's been about 6 weeks since my last prenatal...I am almost 33 weeks. I just am having a very hard time picturing myself giving birth in the hospital...not being in 100% control over my labor and my baby after he's born....and I'm still considering putting a homebirth on a credit card or something....but I feel like the longer I wait, the less likely a new CNM or Dr will be to see me since it's been so long since my last appointment...

Interview with Antony Van Couvering — Part II
July 12, 2011 at 7:41 am 3 comments
Here's the second part of my interview with Antony Van Couvering of Mind and Machines focused on the business opportunity of new TLDs. You can read part one here.
Q: Can you talk about your Espresso registry services platform, and the advantages that offers for new TLD operators?
Espresso is the gTLD cousin of CoCCA, which was developed for ccTLDs. At present, Espresso is running .FM, which contains many prominent sites such as ping.fm. Taken together, the platform hosts 30 ccTLDs, making it the most widely deployed TLD registry solution on the planet. Over the last two years, while we've been waiting for ICANN to approve the new gTLD program, we haven't been sitting on our hands. Together with CoCCA, we've been implementing all the new features required by ICANN, including the trademark clearinghouse, IPv6, DNSSEC, and other features. We may well be the most advanced of all the registries in this regard.
Espresso has some real advantages over any other solution. First, as a client you have a choice of using our hosted version, where all you need to run your registry is an Internet connection; or you can install it locally on your network, which makes a lot of sense for brands and other clients with particular security needs or IT policies. Second, the platform was developed over the last ten years with particular attention to the needs of a variety of different ccTLD requirements, so it's very very flexible and accommodates all kinds of business models, from very open to quite restrictive, based on a number of different criteria.
Additionally, the reporting is first-rate, payment systems are fully integrated, and best of all it's already connected to all the major ICANN-accredited registrars, so our clients won't have to convince them to do any time-consuming technical integration, which could be a major stumbling block in a landscape with hundreds of new gTLDs. All the registrars will have to do is check a box on the Espresso system to turn on a new gTLD — it's that simple.
George Bundy of BRS Media runs .FM and is planning to do .RADIO with us. He has had a lot of experience with the platform both as an existing ccTLD and as a prospective new gTLD. George has agreed to be a reference for us, so if anyone wants to know what Espresso is like from the perspective of someone who's using it, just ask George.
Q: What kind of organizations are looking at new TLDs, based on your conversations to date? Any general trends you can share?
Clearly the brands have come out of the closet. After opposing the new gTLD program for so long, it's clear that now that's it's been approved some brands are starting to look at the positives of new gTLDs for them, in terms of branding, authentication, and a number of other corporate imperatives. I'm hearing about a lot demand from brands.
In general there's been a significant uptick in interest from all sectors — I've certainly been very busy with phone calls and meetings with new clients. I think after Labor Day is when we'll start to see a real surge, with additional announcements, ICANN's awareness campaign kicking in, and the deadline looming.
Applicants will have the last three months of the year to get ready, and given the heavyweight application, that might be just enough time.

These measures include the issue of departmental circulars and Press notices, discussions with local authority associations and meetings with individual authorities or groups of authorities. Publicity is also given by the EEC Commission to the availability of funds.

I actually have two boards — the inspiration for my own wedding (they gray one) and then since I've been pinning over all of the Valentine loveliness, I couldn't help myself, I created a board for Valentine's Day as well. So I'm submitting both, if it's allowed!

How gorgeous is Mandy and this wedding?? I love all the details and ESPECIALLY the photography!
Theme- Black and ivory, vintage and lots of branches. Branches were in all our centerpieces, flowers and on our invitations. We kept all the decorations black and ivory as well as requested all our guests to
keep with the theme with their wardrobe. The vintage feel of the wedding was seen a lot in my wedding dress and veil. We wanted something simple yet unique so we used my wedding ring for inspirations since it held much of a vintage feel and included black onyx.
Invitations- Since we could not find a lot of invitations that reflected our theme I had my brother Chad at beneaththesky.com design them. We gave him some ideas and he really made them come to life. I
had them printed, cut, and put them together on my own. Every part was ordered separately so everything went together. We used cardsandpocketstore.com, paperandmore.com, and overnightprints.com to
make our own invitations in our own style.
Venue- Right away when we got engaged we knew we wanted to get married in Santa Cruz where Brian is from. It is so beautiful and holds great memories for us both. Since is was more of a destination
wedding we took some time finding a venue. When we first saw Kennolyn we knew it was where we wanted to be married. It is an old hacienda building on a hill that over looks the city. On a clear day you can
see the ocean and its set on 300 acres of forest. Many of our guests loved our venue. Also Carrie, the day wedding coordinator is amazing!
Decorations and Flowers- The majority of all the flowers and decorations were done by myself and my family. My mom and I spent a few trips to downtown L.A.'s flower mart coming up with ideas. All of
our centerpieces and the flowers at the ceremony site were all done by us. The branches were bought is downtown L.A. and brought up to Santa Cruz 2 days before the wedding so we could get them all put together. We glued little white flowers on a few of the branches to add a hint of color. Also we used artichokes in our centerpieces from nearby Monterey to give a feel from the area. The bouquet and boutonnieres for our wedding were all done by Boulder Creek flowers in Santa Cruz. They did such a great job staying with our black and white theme, and having fun being creative!
Dress and Veil- I found my dress at Marry me bridal in Orange. It definitely went with our vintage them. To add the flair of the black we added a black sash to my dress. The veil and flower were made by
Stephanie James couture in Huntington Beach. She did a great job of adding a hint of black to the ivory flower. All of her flowers, veils, and dresses she designs are inspired by the 40s and 50s.
Photography- Not too long after we got engaged my brother let me know our friend Carson at James Carson photography had been shooting weddings. We took a look at his website and instantly knew we wanted him to shoot our wedding. He has a great eye for what looks good and we love the way our photos came out. We also did a day after session on the beach to get some different photos. We had such a great time with Carson!
Cake- Our cake was made by Black China Bakery in Santa Cruz. I've been vegan for nearly 12 years and we wanted to have cake everyone would enjoy. All of our cakes were vegan but they also do regular cakes. We had one small cake that was decorated with black and ivory. We also had two other flavor of cupcakes. We went with chocolate on one and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting on the other. Everyone loved it!
Extras- As our sign in book we had a few friends take Polaroid photos of our guests as they arrived. We had them sign a guest book with their photos right above. It turned out great!

Featured Book Talcon Star City by Gary Caplan
Featured Book The Soldier's Seed by Sharyn Bradford Lunn
(A poem dedicated to the untold friends who have taken turns getting me through days without my recently passed wife, my precious Laura Jean. This list is just a few of the amazing friends I dedicate this poem to: Marie Ainsworth, Vickie and Ronnie Carlton, Wayne and Stacey Chapman, Sunshine and Ron Charrier, Danny Cole, Chris Coleman, Brandi Eubanks, Elizabeth Hailey, Brent and Krishae Humphries, Kevin and Jessica Humphries, Jake Keen, Melissa Miller, Kaci Sharp, Randy Sharp, and of course, today's messenger from God: Laura Keen. There are many others, and I thank you all.)
My heart is in a padded room reserved for love's insane. My hopes are fading into doom on death's relentless train.
All seems lost without my wife; my world came crashing to an end. Darkness casts a wicked lure to those without a friend.
I am not that poor lonely soul left broken on life's path. God sends to me friends untold to soften darkness's wrath.
Every day, with mercies, new, there are places hope can lean. Today that place of refuge was God's angel: Laura Keen.

Popudinské Močidľany (German Popodin, Pobudin), a village in the neighborhood of Holíč (German Holitsch) in Slovakia, not far from Göding in Moravia, where some Hutterian Brethren settled during the period of persecution in Moravia, which began in 1547, in the domain of Peter Bakich de Lák, who was at first their protector, but later proved to be one of their most violent opponents. In Popodin the deacon Michel Kramer died in 1551, who "made the song of the great Hungarian tribulation, how the brotherhood fared at that time," and in 1553 occurred the death of Simon Waindl, who had been ordained only the year before at Kutí (Gätte in the chronicles).

The Situation
Lee Kun Hee, Samsung's chairman and South Korea's richest man, underwent emergency surgery in May after suffering a heart attack. Lee, who turned 72 in January, engineered the company's push into mobile phones, which account for 76 percent of operating income. But now it's facing tougher competition: Chinese rivals with cheaper, feature-packed devices like Xiaomi are gaining in emerging markets, while Apple is boosting iPhone sales through a partnership with China Mobile. A slump in Samsung's mobile phone sales contributed to a 9.9 percent decline in the company's stock in 2013. But the shares rebounded in the weeks after Lee's surgery, as investors speculated that he might hand over control to his only son, Lee Jae Yong, vice chairman since 2012. With the chairmen of many chaebol aging and scions facing large inheritance-tax bills, the conglomerates are under pressure from the government to simplify their tangled systems of cross-shareholding to protect the rights of minority owners, a step seen as likely to free up capital.
The Background
Lee Kun Hee became chairman of Samsung in 1987 upon the death of his father, founder Lee Byung Chull. Samsung began with 40 employees in 1938, exporting rice, dried fish, noodles and produce before diversifying into insurance, sugar, paper, textiles, property development, and electronics and appliances. In the 1960s, dictator Park Chung Hee turned to the chaebol to spur export growth: Companies such as Samsung and Hyundai were protected by steep tariffs and encouraged through government financing to branch out and develop heavy industry, chemicals, shipbuilding and construction. The strategy led to rapid export growth but backfired in the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, when the huge, debt-laden chaebols helped trigger a spate of bank failures. Many trace Samsung's rise in electronics to the day Lee made a bonfire out of shoddy handsets and proclaimed the slogan of "Quality First." The company went on to become the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones, TVs and memory chips, and Lee became the country's richest man, worth an estimated $11 billion. In the convoluted world of chaebol, Lee's family has been able to retain control of Samsung while owning a combined stake estimated at less than 2 percent of shares.
The Argument
While the chaebol helped make South Korea an economic success story, many politicians and investors argue that the system is a cultural relic poorly suited to the 21st-century economy. The shares of chaebol-linked companies trade at lower multiples of earnings than their peers in the U.S., Europe or Japan (a phenomenon called the Korea discount) because of concerns over cronyism and cross-ownership. Park Geun Hye, the current president and the daughter of Park Chung Hee, has clamped down on deals in which chaebol steer business to companies controlled by friends or relatives, and has banned further cross-holding of shares. The sheer size of Samsung and other giants raises concern they'll leave no room for the small ventures seen as engines of innovation in other countries. Younger, Western-educated chaebol executives promise to make their companies nimbler. Even so, the immense political clout of the chaebols may make them resistant to change. In 2008, Lee was convicted of evading taxes on about $5 billion, only to receive a presidential pardon a year later. Despite Park's push on corporate governance, she, like her father, looks to them to drive growth. In August, Park met with Lee and the heads of nine other chaebol to encourage them to increase investment, promising that regulations would not get in their way.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
A resident of Fulford Harbor, British Columbia, Robert Bateman became one of the foremost wildlife painters of the late 20th century. This statement is reinforced by the fact he was voted Favorite Artist by readers of
Wildlife Art
magazine in a millennium poll. He regards each work as a challenge, and is leery of becoming a formula painter, something that he feels is a plague on wildlife art.
He was born in Toronto, and was an artist and naturalist from his early days, although he did not sell any works until age 35. Bateman painted wildlife and wilderness in a representational style until his teens when he began to interpret nature by using a variety of contemporary styles including post-impressionism and abstract expressionism. In the early 1960s, he rediscovered realism and used it in depicting the world of nature. His first one-man show was in 1967.
In the 70s and early 80s, Bateman's work began to receive critical acclaim and to attract an increased following. He has had many one-man museum shows throughout North America, including an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
In writing about his own work, Bateman said: . . .an artist is an artist, be he/she high, low or decorative. Artists are artists because they can't help it - they just are and they do art for the love of it or because they can't stop themselves. Their prime motives are not the market or what will the critics think or whether they are "High" or "Decorative" or "Tough" or "Easy". This is their piece and they do not need to defend it. The buck stops with them. Take it or leave it!
In my own case, from the age of twelve I was a serious artist. I never doubted I would always be an artist, but never expected to make my living at it. That is why I went into teaching as a meal-ticket so I could paint to please myself and not the market. I evolved through various phases in my 20s and 30's from Group of Seven (traditional Canadian subjects/style) to abstract expressionism, always depicting, even in the abstracts, nature and wilderness.
In the mid-60's (in my mid-30's) I moved into my present style because of my reverence for the particularity of every square inch of the biosphere. I couldn't show biological specificity in general globs of paint. I didn't sell anything until I was 35 and I was a full-time high school teacher until I was 46.
Oddly enough, the only two critical reviews of any merit came from the American press. They were by the art critics of the
Washington Post
and the
San Francisco Chronicle
. They were both pans, but handled with balance and intelligence. The
critic said that my show at the Smithsonian was too grand and glorious and my paintings were also too glorious (Tough Art vs. Easy Art). He said: "Where is the dark underbelly of nature? The death, the dirt, the rotten weather?"
He made a very good point! I do, however, sometimes paint death (
Vulture and Wildebeest, Polar Bear Skull, Fall - Ovenbird
), dirt (
Penguins and Whale Bones
) and rotten weather (
Osprey in the Rain
), but the curator, who was a botanist, curated all of my "tough" pieces out of the show despite my protests.
critic also praised my style, technique and concepts but at the end said ". . .however, this is not real art. Bateman's work is mere illustration." He went on to say that real art was about itself, whereas illustration is about something else.
To me, illustration has a clear meaning. It is when the idea comes from outside the artist, as an assignment. For example, a book publisher asks N. C. Wyeth to illustrate Robert Louis Stevenson's
or Pope Julius II asks Michelangelo to depict the story of creation on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Pure, non-objective painting, I presume, would be "real" art because it is about itself. And so a furniture store abstract that matches your drapes is real art and Da Vinci's
Last Supper
is a mere illustration. It is the word "mere" that I find troubling.
When one thinks of the real problems facing the planet and, indeed, civilization, at the end of the 20th century, the problem of whether art critics appreciate this form of art or that form of art or me seems so minuscule as to be virtually invisible. Being rebuffed by one's peers in the art world is, of course, hurtful, but that has always happened and always will and it really doesn't matter. It is still fun to discuss and dismember. . . I do it myself, as you may have noticed.
Bateman has exhibited in Canada, the United States and Great Britain. His work is in many public and private collections, including several art museums. He was commissioned by the Governor General of Canada to do a painting as the wedding gift for HRH The Prince Charles from the people of Canada. His work is also included in the collections HRH The Prince Philip, the late Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Two books of his art,

Biography from
Jackson Hole Art Auction
An influential painter and naturalist, Robert Bateman was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1930. Interested in both art and wildlife from an early age, Bateman knew by twelve that both would serve to be his life's passions. As a teenager Bateman became a Junior Naturalist at the Royal Ontario Museum, where he gained vital exposure to ornithology, field study, and specimen drawing. At the age of seventeen Bateman spent the first of three consecutive summers working on a government run wildlife research camp in Algonquin Park. His work at the park further developed Bateman's skills as a naturalist, but also served to influence him as an artist. Three centuries prior, the same area had served as inspiration for various members of Canada's famous Group of Seven painters. Bateman's paintings from this period echo the post-impressionistic style seen in their landscapes. At age eighteen Bateman won a Junior League scholarship for art tuition, which allowed him study with Gordon Payne at the Arts and Letters Club for two years.
Bateman attended the University of Toronto and received an honors degree in geography in 1954. While in school, Bateman took night classes in art from Carl Schaefer, whom he studied under for five years. Throughout this period Bateman participated in numerous geological surveys in Newfoundland and Canada's Arctic, where he continued to sketch wildlife and collect specimens—many of which he donated to the Royal Ontario Museum. In 1955 Bateman received his teaching degree from the Ontario College of Education, thereby beginning a meaningful twenty-year career as a high school teacher. Bateman's choice in career was in large part influenced by the freedom to travel that it allowed him. Having already traveled across the United States and much of Western Europe, Bateman embarked on a fourteen month expedition around the world in 1957. With one friend and a Land Rover, he journeyed across equatorial Africa, northern India, through the Himalayas into Myanmar, Thailand and India before culminating in Australia.
In 1963 Bateman saw an exhibition of Andrew Wyeth's work at the Albright-Knox Gallery. The realism of Wyeth's work served as a catalyst for Bateman, and he quickly shifted from the cubist and post-impressionist styles he had been working in. In 1963 Bateman moved to Nigeria to teach for two years, where he entered a Nairobi art competition. Until this point Bateman's love of art and wildlife had remained separate, but the paintings of African animals that he submitted combined his two passions cohesively for the first time. While he did not win the competition, his art caught the attention of many patrons, and an American couple began selling his work from their gallery in Nairobi. Upon returning to Canada, Bateman continued painting and quickly gained a following in the art world. In 1976 Bateman stopped teaching to devote all of his time to painting, and after his first solo exhibition sold out opening night, it proved a wise career move.

Biography from
Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers, I
Robert Bateman is a realistic painter in acrylic of birds with "an abstract structure showing the total environment." He was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1930 and lives in Milton, Ontario.
"I like to get out and sniff and smell around," he says "I'm interested in what the other sides of things look like—the other side of the bird's wing that you can't see. And I don't want just any hillside. I want one where the wind blows across it in a certain way."
He has sketched since his youth, when he started his first bird list at age 12 and wanted to be a wildlife researcher. Batemen earned his BA, with honors, in geography from the University of Toronto in 1954. He also took private art lessons for years, experimenting with Impressionism, Cubism, and abstraction. He did summertime sketching in the Canadian North, hitchhiked through Europe, and in 1957 traveled around the world, filling books with wildlife drawings.
In 1959, he became head of a high school art department, a position he held until 1976. In 1963, Batemen went to Nigeria for two years on a teacher exchange program and began painting wildlife seriously. When he saw an Andrew Wyeth show in 1970, his personal style was resolved as "the rhythm of abstract patterns."
By 1972, his work was included in the Bird Artists of the World Show in London. After other honors in 1974 and 1975, he quit teaching to paint full time. Featured in "Southwest Art" in September 1980, he is listed in Who's Who in American Art and is member of the Society of Animal Artists and the Northwest Rendezvous Group.

Sketch for Fatima. Pencil on Hahnemuhle Aquarelle mat paper 450 gsm 12� X 9� I sat lounging cosily at the table, having just finished a mezze lunch opposite my equally comfortable lady. Chat comes easily in this temperate spring. The cafe is one of many on this street in Istanbul. Each Al Fresco section pushing out onto the street limiting the car-traffic to an indignant crawl. Taxi-drivers verbally battle their slow progress along the cobbled space with locals and tourists alike threading dangerously all around them. The din is magical. In a place where the eastern extreme of Europe meets the western end of Asia; Where the calls to prayer mix naturally with the insistent chatter of lightly clad tourists, the world...

An Engineer and Designer is automatically a keen observer of life and human nature and from that I take much inspiration for my art.

Esso /ˈɛsoʊ/ is an international trade name for ExxonMobil and its related companies. The name is a phonetic version of the initials of the pre-1911 Standard Oil (SO = Esso),[1] and as such became the focus of much litigation and regulatory restriction in the United States. In 1972 it was largely replaced in the U.S. by the Exxon brand after it bought Humble Oil, while Esso remained widely used elsewhere. In most of the world, the Esso brand and the Mobil brand are the primary brand names of ExxonMobil, with the Exxon brand name still in use only in the United States alongside Mobil.
This section requires expansion. (February 2011) |
In 1911, Standard Oil was broken up into 34 companies, some of which were named "Standard Oil" and had the rights to that brand in certain states (the other companies had no territorial rights). Standard Oil of New Jersey ("Jersey Standard") had the rights in that state, plus in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. By 1941, it had also acquired the rights in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana. In those states, it marketed its products under the brand "Esso", the phonetic pronunciation of the letters "S" and "O". It also used the Esso brand in New York and the six New England states, where the Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony - Vacuum, later Socony - Mobil) had the rights, but did not object to the New Jersey company's use of the trademark[citation needed] (the two companies did not merge until November 1999). However, in the other states, the other Standard Oil companies objected and forced Jersey Standard to use other brand names. In most states the company used the trademark Enco ("Energy Company"), and in a few "Humble". The other Standard companies likewise were "Standard" or some variant on that in their home states, and another brand name in other states. Esso ranked 31st among United States corporations in the value of World War II production contracts.[2]
During the years of racial segregation in the United States, certain Esso franchises gave out "The Negro Motorist Green Book: An International Travel Guide".[3]
In 1973, Standard Oil of New Jersey renamed itself as the Exxon Corporation, and adopted that trademark throughout the country. It maintained the rights to "Standard" and "Esso" in the states where it held those rights, by a token effort, by selling "Esso Diesel" in those states at stations that sell diesel fuel, thus preventing the trademark from being declared abandoned. It retained the "Esso" brand in Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands until 2008, when it sold its stations there to Total S.A.[4] The Enco brand name was still used on locations in the Midwest until 1977 when they were sold to Cheker Oil Co. (now part of Marathon Petroleum subsidiary Speedway LLC[5]); Exxon continues to have a presence in Southern Ohio today (as it does throughout much of Appalachia in general), though Mobil is the company's primary brand in the Midwest.
In 1888, the Anglo American Oil company opened its head office in London, which eventually became a part of Esso.[6]
Esso Blue was the brand name of Esso's paraffin oil (kerosene) for domestic heaters in countries such as the United Kingdom. Their TV advertising song from the 1950s through to the 1970s was the famous "Bom, Bom, Bom, Bom, Esso Blue!" A later campaign used the well-known song tune of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" cleverly reworded as:[7]"They asked me how I knew, it was Esso Blue, I of course replied, with lower grades one buys, smoke gets in your eyes. The non-smoking paraffin". The track was released as a flexi disk which was given away free in hardware stores.[8]
In the 1930s Esso acquired Cleveland, an independent company based in North East England. The name comes from the fact that the founder and principal shareholder, Norman Davis, spent some of WWI with his brother Manuel in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland's products included a benzole blend and an alcohol blend called Discol. Both the Esso and Cleveland names continued in use until 1973, when the Cleveland filling stations were re-branded as Esso.
Esso traded in Northern Ireland up until the early 2000s. Their forecourts were re-branded as Maxol and some remained private.
In Canada, the Esso brand is used on stations operated by Imperial Oil, which is 69.8% owned by ExxonMobil. Esso also provides aviation fuel services at 80 airport locations in Canada (Aviation and Avitat).
In Australia, Esso is an affiliate of ExxonMobil, it operates oil and gas production. Its retail petrol stations were acquired by Mobil Australia in 1990.
