"I used this label to add on the envelope of the response cards to match the stripes from the Modish marriage line. It makes it look so chic but yet elegant!"
"I absolutely love these labels! My only issue is that I ordered them for my save the dates, which came with a small envelope so instead of putting them on the front, I had to put them on the back. It ended up looking very nice though, but just keep that in mind!"
"I purchased these address labels to affix to our save the dates (With Evening Sparkle). They are exactly as pictured online. The stickers are a bit larger than I expected, and would be too large for the front address label, but were a reasonable size to put on the back of our save the date envelopes."
"I loved these as I used them to add both of our last names to the outside of the envelope. I wanted to do this, as there is only room for the first names on the save the date. They worked great and added some color to the outside of our save the date envelopes. The looked great and were easy to apply."
"Had to order these guys to add to the invitation suite. Turned out pretty. Definitely added the last touch to the invites!"

KGB vs. KGB: Putin's crackdown extends to old comrades
Arrests and intimidation of political opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin have been on the upswing recently, extending even to a former KGB comrade of the Russian leader.
Gennady Gudkov is the last person you'd think of as a radical dissident. Yet he's been driven into a dangerous corner, and it looks like the Kremlin has set its sights on destroying him.
A former career KGB officer, Mr. Gudkov and his son, Dmitry, are both Duma deputies with the "loyal opposition" party Just Russia. The Gudkovs both became involved with the street protest movement that erupted last December in order to steer the protesters toward peaceful and constructive engagement with the authorities, the elder Gudkov insists.
But today, amid a wave of government actions that some protest leaders are calling "the shadow of 1937" – the year mass Stalin-era repressions began – the Gudkovs find themselves in serious trouble, with their family business all but ruined by a blizzard of state "inspections" and the pro-Kremlin United Russia party moving to expel them and another Just Russia deputy, Ilya Ponomaryov, from the Duma.
"I was warned several times, by people who shall remain nameless from high up, who gave me 'friendly advice' to stop all this involvement with the protest movement, and they assured me that if I did my problems would go away," Gudkov says. "The last time was in early June."
Since then, the family business, one of Russia's leading security firms with about 7,000 employees, has been hit with a wave of inspections from the police, fire department, and even the Moscow architectural control committee, which resulted in the suspension of its license to allow its security guards to carry weapons in Moscow.

Excellent Multi Printer Stand Michael from Mason, OH– Verified Buyer I had two printers and a scanner that I needed to organize. This really did the job nicely. Also, have two extra shelves available for spare paper and scanner accessories. I highly recommend this very sturdy and stable printer stand. |
Just the right item LInda from Sandusky, OH– Verified Buyer The price was right...the quality good...price right. Love wayfair |
Sturdy and attractive Golly G. from Loveland, CO I bought these shelves several months ago. Assembly was easy and the shelf spacing is quite configurable. I like the shelves because they are sturdy -- I have a very heavy laser printer on one shelf and it is no problem -- and because they are very attractive. Today I'm buying another set of the shelves to put next to the first set. That will greatly enhance the appearance of my office. |
Great space efficiency Gum Doc from Manasquan, NJ– Verified Buyer This is great for stacking multiple printers or fax machines including heavy, larger laser jets. I removed one shelf as it was not needed (the one with the slot for continuous feed paper). |
Muv 5 Level Adjustable Printer Stand is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 1883CY, 1883GR, 1883MO

Non-Stimulant Diet-Support Solutions
For the Stim-Sensitive Athlete
For many of us, diet support is easy. If you have what could be described as a "normal" tolerance to stimulants, you're good to go when it comes to most "buzz worthy" thermogenic diet-support supplements. In fact, one particular thermogenic weight-loss supplement that has long been acclaimed as the category leader for its advanced and super-comprehensive matrix of transformative mechanisms of action has just been newly amplified for even more weight-loss power. But
BioQuest's new BetaStax Elite
is a story for
another day
Diet Support Without the Buzz
Today, we're talking non-stimulant alternatives. How do you know if you're stimulant sensitive? Well, we're not talking about that alert, amped-up feeling that many of us enjoy, particularly as we're walking out onto the gym floor in anticipation of a great workout. Symptoms for those who might be better off avoiding typical thermogenics include the onset of dizziness or nausea, heart palpitations, and difficulty sleeping (no matter how many hours have elapsed since your last thermogenic dose). Clearly, this outcome does not apply to your typical athlete. But for those of you out there who do experience these symptoms, this article is for you.
If you're sensitive to stimulants, your choices are more limited, though the best options still pack a powerful punch. This is also a good place to note that non-stimulant diet-support options are not just for the stimulant averse. Many athletes use these products in combination with thermogenics to attack excess fat via as many pathways of action as possible. A stack like this
BetaStax / Tonalin CLA
offering will pay real dividends for an athlete looking to get lean and rock-hard. So now, let's take a look at some noteworthy supplements that will address excess fat without the amperage.
for a chance to win
this product!
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring Omega-6 fatty acid found primarily in meat and dairy products. Bodybuilders have long valued CLA for its unique capacity to help effect body repartitioning via a combination of excess fat reduction and lean-muscle support. And, just as importantly for our purposes here, it is a common non-stimulant ingredient in diet-support products.
So, just how effective is CLA at supporting body repartitioning? In one of the largest and best controlled studies of CLA, researchers from Norway examined the effects of CLA supplementation (3.4 g/day) on whole body and regional composition in overweight men and women. The study used a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design in over 100 subjects. The study lasted 6 months during which time subjects were instructed to maintain their normal diet and exercise patterns, the only major change being to supplement with either CLA or placebo. After 6 months, the CLA group lost significantly more body fat (-3.3 pounds) compared to a gain of 1 pound in the placebo group. Further, the CLA group gained 1.3 pounds of lean body mass, whereas the placebo group had little change (+0.4 pounds). In summary, the placebo group had little change in body composition as expected, but simply taking 3.4 g/day of CLA without making any other lifestyle changes resulted in simultaneous fat loss and gain in lean body mass.1
In another study, researchers reporting in the
Journal of Nutrition
found that CLA supplementation to obese subjects can alter body composition in as little as 12 weeks. In this study, subjects made no other lifestyle changes other than consuming either CLA or a placebo. There were 2 groups of CLA that consumed a low dose (3.2 g/day) or high dose (6.4 g/day). Body composition measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry revealed that subjects in the high dose CLA group had a significant increase in lean body mass of one and a half pounds, and they lost about half a pound of fat. The increase in lean body mass with CLA occurred despite no changes in diet or exercise training.2
Clearly, these are exciting results. It should also be noted that of all the sources of CLA available to athletes, Tonalin CLA is far and away regarded as the industry gold standard.
ProSource Tonalin CLA
is a highly potent and pure premium-grade material that's standardized for an unprecedented 80% Tonalin CLA.

Green Coffee Bean Extract
Another promising non-stimulant technology is green coffee extract, which contains high concentrations of chlorogenic acids that have been associated with diet support by way of their ability to help modulate glucose utilization and fat metabolism. Unfortunately, you can't just brew up a cup of coffee containing these beans because they're exceptionally bitter and the high temperatures used to roast coffee beans damage the chlorogenic acids. To avoid this outcome, supplement manufacturers use concentrated extracts of green coffee beans, which contain higher amounts of bioactive chlorogenic acids.
Here again, the science supporting this non-stimulant mechanism of fat loss is persuasive. A 22-week crossover study was conducted to examine the efficacy of a commercial green coffee extract in reducing weight and body mass in 16 overweight adults. Subjects received high-dose green coffee extract, low-dose GCE, or placebo in separate six-week treatment periods followed by two-week washout periods to reduce any influence of preceding treatment. Treatments were counterbalanced between subjects. Primary measurements were body weight, body mass index, and percent body fat. Significant reductions were observed in body weight (-8.04 ± 2.31 kg), body mass index (-2.92 ± 0.85 kg/m2), and percent body fat (-4.44% ± 2.00%), for the high-dose GCE subjects, all with no significant changes to diet over the course of the study. The results are consistent with human and animal studies and a meta-analysis of the efficacy of green coffee extract in weight loss.3
As always, it's worth the effort to read the ingredient label of your green coffee bean extract supplement very closely, because chlorogenic acid content and quality varies widely by brand.
ProSource's Green Coffee Bean Extract
is unrivaled in power and purity, and is standardized for a potent dose of 50% chlorogenic acids (200mg).

Raspberry Ketones
Ever think of eating more raspberries to help increase your body's ability to burn fat? It turns out a key ingredient found in raspberries has properties that a couple of preliminary studies suggest may help to increase fat breakdown and limit fat accumulation. Scientists originally became interested in raspberry ketones because structurally they are very similar to capsaicin, another common diet-support ingredient, but without capsaicin's spicy or pungent effect.
The first study to examine the impact of raspberry ketones on its ability to prevent weight gain provided various doses of raspberry ketones to laboratory mice and fed them a high-fat diet. The high levels of raspberry ketones in the animals diet helped to reduce weight gain and also increased the amount of lipolysis or fat breakdown in fat cells found in the animals.4
Several years passed before another study was conducted and recently scientists exposed fat cells to raspberry ketone in an effort to examine what exactly was responsible for the perceived prevention in weight gain and increase in fat breakdown as seen in the initial study. When exposed to fat cells, raspberry ketone significantly increased the amount of lipolysis or fat breakdown in fat cells. A follow-up analysis revealed that raspberry ketones favorably increased the expression of adiponectin, an important hormone released primarily by fat cells.
Equally important, exposing fat cells to raspberry ketone decreased the amount of fat which accumulated in the fat cells, which is a favorable change linked to reduction in overall body fat. The authors concluded that raspberry ketone holds great promise for its ability to both reduce fat accumulation and increase fat breakdown.5 Certainly, additional research is needed to further confirm these results in humans to see if they can be used as an aid to help lose fat and control your body composition, but the early results are encouraging.
Interested in trying this emerging new technology? Your best bet is ProSource's Razberi-K supplement.
ProSource's premium-grade Razberi-K
product contains only the highest quality Raspberry Ketones [4- (4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one] in a 100mg dose.

Protein And More Protein
As most athletes are well aware, simply doing your best to support muscle tissue is, in itself, a valuable diet strategy because muscle is more metabolically active and may improve calorie expenditure, thus further supporting a leaner physique. Therefore, maximizing protein intake throughout your day is essential. Of course, not all proteins are created equal when it comes to body repartitioning. One protein, in particular,
ProSource's Vectron
, contains an elite fractionated protein complex called Prolibra, a specialized bioactive peptide matrix along with a special whey mineral complex designed to precisely target essential mechanisms of body transformation.
How effective is it? Let's take a look at the science. In an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, subjects taking Prolibra retained twice as much lean muscle while at the same time experiencing 79% fat-loss compared to the control group at 51% fat loss. Those are results you can really get excited about. Other proteins, such as
ProSource's NytroWhey Ultra Elite
, are also critical to supporting your workouts and recovery, and should form the cornerstone of your daily supplementation regimen.
And there you have it. Clearly the fitness-conscious, stimulant-sensitive athlete has plenty of options when it comes to attacking excess fat. So go out there and beat the bulge, without the buzz!

*Editor's Note: Read John Lott's response to this article here.
For those few of us in the mainstream media who openly support Second Amendment rights, research scholar John Lott has been -- or rather, had been -- an absolute godsend.
Armed with top-notch credentials (including stints at Stanford, Rice, UCLA, Wharton, Cornell, the University of Chicago and Yale), Lott took on the entrenched anti-gun bias of the ivory tower with seemingly meticulous scholarship.
His best-selling 1998 book, More Guns, Less Crime, provided analysis of FBI crime data that showed a groundbreaking correlation between concealed-weapons laws and reduced violent crime rates. I met Lott briefly after a seminar at the University of Washington in Seattle several years ago and was deeply impressed by his intellectual rigor. Lott responded directly and extensively to critics' arguments. He made his data accessible to many other researchers. But as he prepares to release a new book, Bias Against Guns, next month, Lott must grapple with an emerging controversy -- brought to the public eye by the blogosphere -- that goes to the heart of his academic integrity.
The most disturbing charge, first raised by retired University of California, Santa Barbara professor Otis Dudley Duncan and pursued by Australian computer programmer Tim Lambert, is that Lott fabricated a study claiming that 98 percent of defensive gun uses involved mere brandishing, as opposed to shooting. When Lott cited the statistic peripherally on page three of his book, he attributed it to "national surveys." In the second edition, he changed the citation to "a national survey that I conducted."
He has also incorrectly attributed the figure to newspaper polls and Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck. Last fall, Northwestern University law professor James Lindgren volunteered to investigate the claimed existence of Lott's 1997 telephone survey of 2,424 people. "I thought it would be exceedingly simple to establish" that the research had been done, Lindgren wrote in his report (posted online here).
It was not simple.

The data breach that exposed the credit and debit card accounts of millions of Target shoppers caused more damage than first thought, the discount retailer said today.
Target said in a statement that up to 70 million customers were affected by the breach last month. The company had originally reported that 40 million individuals were affected.
WATCH: Thieves Allegedly Selling Target Credit Card Info Online
The Minneapolis-based retailer also noted that thieves swiped more information than had been previously disclosed. Not only did they get their hands on customer names, account numbers, security codes and expiration dates from the magnetic strips on the backs of credit and debit cards, but thieves also stole mailing addresses, email addresses and phone numbers.
Target confirmed to ABC News this morning that the additional personal information discovered stolen in the pre-Christmas breach "was obtained through the normal course of Target's business," which is to say both in-store and online. Until now, the company had said the breach only affected those who shopped in its stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15.
"I know that it is frustrating for our guests to learn that this information was taken and we are truly sorry they are having to endure this," Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in the statement. "I also want our guests to know that understanding and sharing the facts related to this incident is important to me and the entire Target team."
WATCH: On the Trail of Target Cyber Thieves
Target, the second-largest U.S. discount retailer, after Walmart, said customers "will have zero liability for the cost of any fraudulent charges arising from the breach."
The retailer is also offering credit monitoring and identity-theft protection free of charge for a year to those who shopped at its U.S. stores. Company officials say they will provide specific instructions next week about how to enroll.
ABC News' Aaron Katersky contributed to this report.

They're easily recognizable by their whiskers and large tusks, but there's way more to the sociable walrus than just those distinctive features!
Antarctica is the most remote of the world's seven continents, but that doesn't mean its native inhabitants go without companionship. [Read More]

They're easily recognizable by their whiskers and large tusks, but there's way more to the sociable walrus than just those distinctive features!
Climate change continues to reshape the Arctic, and with it, the habitats of its wildlife. This year on International Polar Bear Day, you'll have a variety of ways to show your support for our furry friends in the Far North.
Properly packing for the Polar Regions makes your adventure that much more enjoyable! We like our passengers to be prepared for any conditions they may encounter, whether cross-country skiing in Antarctica or touching down in a helicopter at the North Pole.
There's nothing quite like climbing into a kayak and paddling the pristine waters around towering icebergs off the coast of Antarctica, or along the shore of a quaint Greenland fishing village. In fact, Greenland is the birthplace of the kayak and many of Quark's Arctic passengers are treated to a traditional kayaking demonstration in Sisimiut, on the Davis Strait.
Kayaking is an immensely popular Antarctic adventure for Quark passengers. We provide the equipment and training you'll need for a day on the water enjoying views of the landscape from your unique vantage point just atop the surface of clear waters in the extreme North or South.
Embarking on a polar expedition with Quark is as much fun as any other vacation. And, it can also be a fascinating, enriching learning experience.
Antarctica is the most remote of the world's seven continents, but that doesn't mean its native inhabitants go without companionship. While wildlife are unlike humans and forgo a marriage or commitment ceremony, you may be surprised to learn on your Antarctic expedition that some animals do in fact stay together for the long haul!

There's something magical about beluga whales, and there's so much to learn about these magnificent animals.
Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge on Somerset Island in Nunavut is a world-class beluga observation site and is committed to furthering an understanding of the whales and their habitats.
Ocean Diamond - Expedition Blog
Our first day in Antarctica, after a pleasant crossing of the Drake thanks to impeccable timing on the part of Captain Oleg having controlled our speed to avoid any trouble, was Barrientos.
This blog post first appeared on http://www.discover-the-world.co.uk/. Penguin enthusiast (and Discover The World's Assistant Polar Product Manager) Gary travelled to Antarctica with Quark Expeditions in December 2014 to fulfil a lifelong ambition.
If you're researching your upcoming Arctic expedition, you might be asking yourself "what countries make up the Arctic?"
Unlike Antarctica, what's known as "the Arctic" cannot be confined to a single land mass at one end of the globe.For almost 25 years, Quark Expeditions® has been the leading provider of polar adventure travel. With its diverse fleet of specially equipped vessels, seasoned expedition leaders and new land based expeditions, they offer travelers unparalleled access to the most remote regions on earth: the Arctic and Antarctica.

Fontina mac and cheese
(Read article summary)Use fontina cheese, and maybe even toss in a little gruyere to make this baked pasta dish even cheesier. Add chicken or meatballs for protein, or a vegetable like broccoli or peas, and top the whole thing with breadcrumbs and grated parmesan.
The Pastry Chef's Baking
This is a recipe I found on Pinterest that isn't very low calorie or particularly healthy but is easy enough for me to cook and portion control. I chose it primarily because it uses up the rest of the fontina cheese I had bought for the Gnocchi Mac and Cheese I made earlier (boy, that cheese was good for three recipes). I also threw in some of the remaining gruyere from the same recipe since, to me, cheese is cheese and my taste buds aren't that discerning when it comes to rich, creamy pasta. Lastly, I added some diced chicken breast for protein and some thyme for flavor.
I liked this recipe in that it's quick enough to make on a weeknight after work and it's easy to pack for lunches for the rest of the week or freeze in individual containers for later. When I don't want to eat takeout or processed frozen Lean Cuisines, this is the type of dish I'll cook. For more creative cooks with a wider array of tastebuds, this easily lends itself to more add-ins like broccoli, peas, carrots, meatballs, sausage, ham, etc.
I made a couple of modifications to this recipe. The original recipe called for a pound of pasta shells but I thought that might be too much given the amount of sauce so I only made about 12 ounces. I'm glad I cut back on the pasta as this didn't make as much sauce as I expected. I also skipped the Panko and parmesan cheese combination on top and simply grated Parmesan Reggiano over it. It turned out OK.

ASKtheARTIST Interview with Zombiesmile
<thefluffyshrimp> Welcome to ASKtheARTIST. My name is *thefluffyshrimp and today I have the great privilege to interview `Zombiesmile, a very talented illustrator and creator of many well-known works on deviantART.
<thefluffyshrimp> Thank you for presenting us with this opportunity to interview you, Zombiesmile.
<Zombiesmile> Hi, thanks for having me! :3
* Zombiesmile is super excited, oh god! * -*;
<thefluffyshrimp> ~rankirubai asks "In what ways has Shaun helped your art and creativity improve? What kinds of insights on art, character design, storytelling, etc has he given you?"
<Zombiesmile> Before I met Shaun (`endling) I was pretty much on my own when it came to art, looking things up and reading tutorials etc. It's been really hard sometimes.
<Zombiesmile> Nowadays, he's the person I talk to all the time, discussing art and stories and games and such. it's really important to me to have another opinion on my work, especially from someone I admire.
<Zombiesmile> He's still my biggest inspiration in art... u///-//u keeps me working harder and such!
<Zombiesmile Sorry, I am slow, now the next question! * A*;;; um...
<thefluffyshrimp> ~r3nka asks "What are things you do to stay motivated/focused on your work?"
<Zombiesmile> The things that keep me motivated are generally other creative people. Watching others work makes me want to pick up a pencil myself. The idea of sharing and having people feel the same thing when looking at my work, is pretty awesome. When it comes to work related things, it's the knowledge that it is going to pay my bills too. XD
<thefluffyshrimp> ~bwahhahahaaa asks "What game are you playing currently?"
<Zombiesmile> ahaha, recently played games are: Dishonored (loooved it!) The Walking Dead (sadly a big buggy, so I lost my save files. :C) and completely sucked into Minecraft again recently.
<Zombiesmile> Sadly I don't have much time to play. u_u
<thefluffyshrimp> *zmote asks "I live in Switzerland. How is the market for visual artist in this region (Western Europe)? Is it easy to get by as an Illustrator/Concept Artist/etc.?"
<Zombiesmile> Hmm. well to be honest, at the moment I do more comic work than concept art or illustrations, so it's hard for me to say. The times I do get offers though, generally the interested people are from North America. Comic industry-wise, Germany is insanely small, so it's not a very reliable source of income for me. I always try to look towards America for work, to be honest.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~rankirubai asks "What made you decide to publish some of your art portfolio on this site?" and "Which of your original works are you currently updating regularly? Do you notice an overarching theme or pattern with all of them?"
<Zombiesmile> My sister ~pinumbra convinced me to join ages ago, and at first it was really just a fun place to hang out, since Germany's Manga/anime community was... well, not very big. I was very happy to find fellow fans, and uploaded silly fanart for fun. Over the years, I stopped drawing fanart and it became more and more my main online presence. Nowadays, I can't imagine a career without it...
<Zombiesmile> Updating regularly is always a problem when I have big projects in the making, such as Crash'n'Burn right now. I try to share as much as my publisher allows me, but it's limited. Comicking is a full time job, and sometimes I even don't get time off on weekends. The mini comics are probably the ones I update most, simply because they're simple and fast to make. I try anyways, but finding time is always the big problem. ; _ ;
<Zombiesmile> As for overarching patterns,... I dunno! I haven't had people tell me that I repeat themes too often, and I try to vary things up, especially because I get bored with my own work. :T sometimes I think my art has a bit of a split personality, since mini comics are so different from my usual comicky stuff. (which is a lot more serious, I think?)
<thefluffyshrimp> ~saito20 asks "How many hours a week on average do you paint/draw?" and ~Zansake asks "What's your work routine?"
<Zombiesmile> Oh god. hours a week? just a sec.
* Zombiesmile whips out calculator.
<Zombiesmile> On average... 56 hours a week.
<Zombiesmile> My work routine consists of answering messages and e-mails, doing paperwork and making calls in the morning, and then drawing after that's done. Sometimes after lunch, if I am lucky, earlier. <_>; being a freelancer takes a lot of self-discipline, so all the crappy annoying stuff I like to get out of the way first. After that, I try to draw until 6-7pm. sometimes I draw after dinner, and even if my rule is to only do personal work then, when there are deadlines I can end up drawing until 1-2am.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~rankirubai asks "Your character Ko-omote was inspired by your Gaia avatar. Any other inspirations for her personality or overall quirks?" and "What types of characters do you enjoy drawing or coming up with the most?"
<Zombiesmile> Haha, Ko is something like... a walking cliché, but I love drawing her because it's a very carefree sort of place she originated from. XD
<Zombiesmile> I used to roleplay with her on Gaia, and I loved playing villainous, mischievous characters. pretty much all the bad things you're not allowed to do, Ko made possible, so. yeah, fun!
<Zombiesmile> My favourite type of character...hmmm. Never thought about it that way, really. I guess I like drawing guys sliiiightly more than girls, mainly because I find it easier to do? other than that, I really love fantasy, even though a lot of my published stuff ends up being dramas for some odd reason. 6__9;;
<thefluffyshrimp> ~flybaby64 and ~r3nka asks "How did you choose your name and icon? What do they represent?"
<Zombiesmile> My Icon is my old Gaia avatar/character Ko-omote. :3 my username, well.. is a bit embarrassing I guess, but it's a thing from my old anime fangirl days when I was completely obsessed with a manga called Zombie Powder. I just never changed it because people got used to it I think!
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Chiisao asks "What are your goals for 2013?"
<Zombiesmile> Goal for 2013: getting married. @_@ ................. artistically though: getting Crash'n'burn done, and being able to look at it and be happy. I have a tendency to really be ashamed of my work after releases for some reason. Also, I'd want people to like it of course. (which is why I am working hard on it atm.)
<thefluffyshrimp> *Shabello asks "Can you tell us how you broke out from drawing as a hobby into something you make a full-time living off?"
<Zombiesmile> Hmm, it has really been a gradual thing, so there was no real point in time where I went 'right, time to do this!' from one day to the next... When I was 12, I decided I wanted to be a comic artist. (read Yu Yu Hakusho the first time) After that, I always took drawing pretty seriously, and even in high school when classmates asked for free sketches, I told them they had to pay for them. Sadly, no one ever told me freelancing was an option, so I wasted some time trying to find out how to make this work without starving to death. Eventually, through DA again, I got the info I needed and began taking commissions while working part time. Some fellow artists on here were so kind to explain to me how freelancing works and I finally had a direction.
<Zombiesmile> Took me pretty long to be able to live off it, and went through some pretty horrible times too, but I would not have it any other way.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~saito20 asks "If you had to begin learning from zero again, what are the 3 things you'd focus on? And what are the 3 mistakes you would avoid?"
<Zombiesmile> Oof...that's a difficult one... Maybe focus on studying the fine art masters, colouring, and enjoying what I do. I'd try to avoid: trying to please everyone, not confronting my weaknesses and instead doing short cuts, not doing something because of fear of failure.
<thefluffyshrimp> *zmote asks "I struggle with converting my sketches into proper line-art. Sometimes it seems to me it's because of the software I use (Photoshop). What do you suggest in how to approach digital line art?"
<Zombiesmile> Personally I prefer Paint Tool Sai for lining, because I find the pen tool to feel a lot more natural and dynamic. But I also found that zooming in a lot when inking is pretty important. The sketch must be pretty clean for that of course, but the more I zoom in, the steadier my lines are. If you can't get Sai, perhaps browse some Photoshop ink brushes people offer here on DA? O: I haven't tried any yet, but I know there's a lot of resources around. Sometimes you just have to find one that feels the most comfy for you.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Demonfyre asks "How did you start out with your journey in art?"
<Zombiesmile> oh dear, that goes all the way back to..well.. when I was tiny. *- * My mother used to draw a lot, and my grandmother is a calligraphy master, and used to be a kimono maker. My granddad on my German family side used to paint with oil, as a hobby. I think even as a child I was always encouraged to draw, even if my dad was pretty unhappy when he heard I wanted to be a comic artist. (he was a banker. XD) I used to watch my mother draw portraits and wanted to be just as good, and in school art was my favourite subject. Because I was a very shy kid with no friends and very low self esteem, art was very important to me as a means of escape.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~hallowedthings asks "What made you start arting and who are your favourite artists/biggest influences?"
<Zombiesmile> aha, I guess my mother would be my earliest influence, since she got me into it as well. I remember watching Astro boy as a kid, and Gegege no Kitaro (Japanese ghost cartoon), but the first time I realized it was 'anime' was at age 12, when I read Yuyu Hakusho. My biggest influences are definitely: Yoshihiro Togashi (Yuyu Hakusho), Tite Kubo (not so much Bleach, but Zombie Powder and his early short stories), Kentaro Miura (Berserk). After that, Deviantart as a whole. There's so many artists here that are amazing, that it would be impossible for me to list everyone who influenced me. I think since coming here, I improved a lot faster than I did by myself, reading only those few comics I had.
<Zombiesmile> I suppose Shaun stands out among them though, since he's helped me improve immensely since 2007.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Darennysmith asks "How many works are you currently working on?"
<Zombiesmile> Right now I am working on Crash 'n' Burn, volume 1 & 2. the first book is already drawn, the second one is being thumbnailed right now. C: I suppose Mini Comics are always sort of running along in the background.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~saito20 asks "What did you draw 90% of the time when you were a little child?"
<Zombiesmile> DINOSAURS!
<Zombiesmile> :D
<thefluffyshrimp> *zmote asks "How do you increase your visual library? Are there dailies you do, like reading books etc.? What would you suggest for a newcomer artist how to structure a day to become a better artist?"
<Zombiesmile> I actually have folders upon folders of references and DA and pixiv art that I like to flip through for inspiration. Even though I like reading and watching films, I rarely have time for that, sadly. I find it important to take breaks though, since even if you love art you can get oversaturated by it? it gets too much. In which case I like to go out. I am always surrounded by art, so I don't really think a daily routine is necessary unless you are having a bit of a block. (which happens to all of us, believe me...) For a newcomer, I'd just say: draw lots, regularly! And most importantly, have fun! Once you're comfy in the medium, you can go out and explore and learn and stuff! Art should never be a chore I think.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sheika-gamergirl asks "Zombie what would be your ultimate dream job? (even outside of art)"
<Zombiesmile> My ultimate dream job is to do what I am doing, except being paid better. hahaha.
<Zombiesmile> I think freelancing allows me enough freedom but also keeps things fresh because I get new job offers and projects to work on. Downside being payment and lack of security, so anything that improves on that would be ideal for me.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~SpikeTheFistMan asks "What are your thoughts of art college/university? Is it worth the money, or you can just learn most of the stuff from the internet anyway?"
<Zombiesmile> To be honest, as someone who has not gone to art school or university, I really don't think I am in a position to say whether or not it might have been useful or worth the money. I believe some people are disciplined and determined enough to get where they want to go without it, but others definitely say they need the structure and interaction with others to succeed...so in the end, I think it's up to the individual. I never had the money to go, but if I did, I probably would give it a shot.
<Zombiesmile> D; sorry.
<thefluffyshrimp> =TheDemonfyre asks "What would you suggest to the amateur artist looking to improve on their own artwork?"
<Zombiesmile> Hm, it really depends on where they're at, and what art they're making, but I think the most basic advice is to learn your basics, and tackle your weaknesses. I often see people who can't draw hands, so they make the character hide them behind their backs or such. Just practice the stuff you DON'T know, and eventually you can draw it easily and well. :> Don't be afraid of failure too. it's all about trial and error.
<thefluffyshrimp> *zmote asks "Where you ever at a point in your artistic career where you just wanted to quit, because you weren't improving even a little bit?"
<Zombiesmile> Oh yes, many times.
<Zombiesmile> There were about three times it was so bad, I was about to quit comics actually. funnily enough, each time I got a sudden unexpected little break. and I decided to be stubborn and keep going.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~r3nka asks "Were you apprehensive when you decided to pursue art straight out of high school? If yes, what did you do to overcome it?"
<Zombiesmile> one of them was Tokyopop's boss who asked me to be in an anthology. glad I didn't give up.
<Zombiesmile> Sort of, yeah. But I think determination and stubbornness ended up being stronger. one of my part time jobs thankfully was with a small publisher, so it allowed me to see what the industry was like from up close, and it gave me confidence and taught me a lot as well.
<Zombiesmile> Going to conventions was one of the things I did a lot then, and I saw people's reactions to my work (even if it was crappy back then) face to face, which reinforced the idea in my head that this was what I wanted to do and nothing else.
<thefluffyshrimp> *Girl-In-Disorder asks "I was wondering if any of the Crash'N'Burn characters, Scott, Tyler, Kimi, and Kyle are based on someone in your life? Like a friend, family member, someone you worked with etc."
<Zombiesmile> > O>; um... well some of them do have elements I see in friends and loved ones, yes. Mainly personalities and relationships. But it's all a bit mixed up and put together differently. it wasn't even intentional or planned, but people close to me do inspire me a lot.
<Zombiesmile> No one looks similar though, and Kimi's looks were a bit of an accident. When I created her, I had short, blonde-brown spiky crazy hair.
<Zombiesmile> oh,...! I guess the one thing that I stole was Kimi's name. my grandma's name is Kimi. :3 I just love the sound of it.
<thefluffyshrimp>~Ella-kayleigh asks "What's it been like being on Deviantart? Do you feel it's helped/improved your art?"
<Zombiesmile> DA has taught me a lot. It has pretty much everything I'd want as an artist, if you ask me. it has a large crowd that gives feedback, a lot of inspiration, information and resources like stock art and tools (brushes, textures, etc). It's pretty easy to communicate with people and exchange experiences, making learning better for someone like me who hasn't had the chance to learn at a university.
<Zombiesmile> I've gone through a lot of phases, but I certainly have always enjoyed being here. :>
<thefluffyshrimp> ~markusgrim03 asks "If you had the gift of giving life to your works what or who will you draw? (just one)"
<Zombiesmile> that...is so mean! only one?! aaah!
<Zombiesmile> Maybe Pinu. she's cute and fluffy and also fierce. She will defend me!...and she's easy to keep happy with muffins and milk. :'D
<thefluffyshrimp> *ScorchingSketches asks "Is this where you imagined your art to take you, or did you have different expectations?"
<Zombiesmile> A lot of what I imagined turned out to be very different in reality... I guess it's part of growing up, really. But nothing has disappointed me so far. it's all about moving forward and learning. Some things I daydreamed about as a kid/teen did end up happening though, but I still can't quite believe it. (meeting my idols at cons, marrying an amazing artist, reaching 1mil hits on DA. XD) I think people generally imagine artists to have a somewhat glamorous lifestyle though, and that is something very different from my expectations as a 14 year old.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~YourAverageQueenie asks "Do you still have drawings that you made from when you were a teenager?"
<Zombiesmile> Yes! I plan on redrawing one and uploading them side by side one day. I think a lot of people nowadays are too obsessed with the whole 'I have to be a genius at age 16, or I am a failuuuure' and I strongly disagree.
<thefluffyshrimp> *Girl-In-Disorder asks "I think you said you had siblings(sisters) I believe in one of your tumblr vlogs. I was wondering if they draw too or do they have completely different talents?"
<Zombiesmile> ah yes. C: My little sister (who is taller than me) is ~pinumbra and she draws as a hobby too. we used to draw together as kids and play with cut out dinosaurs we 'd draw ourselves.
<Zombiesmile> I have an older sister too, and she used to draw when we were in school as well, but gave it up. now she's in marketing and is a serious business woman! (she was more into fine arts and still is. comics are not her cup of tea.)
<thefluffyshrimp> ~saito20 asks "What's the thing in the creative process that you most enjoy? Like: designing a character, inventing their personalities, drawing a page…." and "What's the one thing in art that took you more work to figure out and get it right, and how did you do it? What are the things you're still struggling with when you make art?"
<Zombiesmile> hmm, my favourite part is sketching. I still do that on paper, and pencils are my favourite tools to this day. It's what I started with and could never give up. C: Coming from a rather traditional background, I love drawing bodies best. anatomy is something I always admired and examined closely.
<Zombiesmile> The one thing I still have a hard time with is colouring. It took me the longest to switch from pencils to colours, and I still struggle with it every time I draw/paint. There's been times I just want to tear my hair out, because I spent 40+ hours on a painting and it simply will not look the way I'd like.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Clairvoire asks "Have you ever thought about doing animation stuff before?"
<Zombiesmile> Yes, I have attempted a few tiny silly gif animations, but they are really very... uh... crude and simple. ´_ `; I really admire people who can do it well, but for now all I can do is make characters blink... So I guess it's somewhere on the stuff-I'd-like-to-learn-one-day list, but waaaay low priority because I suck for now. XD;
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Chowii asks "Miki, describe your art style with one word," and ~Ella-kayleigh asks "As a self taught artist, did you study the foundations such as anatomy and etc or did you just dive straight in and draw, draw, draw?"
<Zombiesmile> one word? "cantbedoneaaaaah" XD;
<Zombiesmile> I studied anatomy early on because I always found it interesting to know how muscles move a complex body and such. O: it was unintentional in a way though. at age 12 I certainly didn't know what it meant. For the rest, I did draw a lot. skipped homework a lot and just sat and drew for hours upon hours... even in class. (which you shouldn't do!) My old notebooks were full of drawings in every open space between notes. hahaha.
<thefluffyshrimp> *Lunabananana asks "How is your Crash and Burn comic coming along?" and ~Zansake asks "Do you have a mangum opus you're planning to complete in the future?"
<Zombiesmile> Like I mentioned before, Crash 'n'Burn volume 1 is drawn, and part 2 is being thumbnailed now. :3 (close to completing that stage)
<Zombiesmile> Hum. I used to have one, a huge fantasy epic I made up at age 15, but with the knowledge and skill I have now, I know it's a pretty crappy story. Haha. I guess I have a lot of shorter stories I want to tell, and I would love to cut that old story up and tell the good bits, but yeah. No big epic thing planned just yet.
<Zombiesmile>\o/ Thanks for the questions! <3

And aggregation efforts need not be limited to politics, of course. The Lede, a blog on The New York Times website, is a good model; it "remixes" reporting from all over the world, in order to "supplement articles in The New York Times and draw readers in to the global conversation about the news taking place online."
This broad approach can work on a local scale, as well—even in Kansas.
Just an hour up the road from Hutchinson (though in a different congressional district), the Wichita Eagle editorial board produces the WE Blog, which features political coverage but is not limited thereto. WE bloggers produce several short posts a day—some editorializing, some offering a take on the Eagle's own reporting, and some aggregating material from around the Web that might in some way hit home for Wichita readers. The blog has picked up CNN reports on Huelskamp, and eyebrow-raising quotes from his recent media blitz, that don't appear to have made the papers in his own district.
In terms of presentation, this and most other newspaper blogs cannot compete with The Lede and other large-scale aggregators. But a national outlet cannot serve as a local hub either; readers are underserved if their local paper doesn't use the Web to engage with the outside world.
A newspaper blog is not an end in itself, but a means to an end—to link to relevant outside material, to keep the website fresh throughout the day, and, most importantly, to quickly generate timely content—even for the print product. The Eagle's Phillip Brownlee told me in an email recently that WE Blog posts are printed in the paper; this may be a necessary inducement for cost-conscious smaller-market publishers who remain reluctant to devote resources to Web-only content.
Of course, aggregation and blogging are no substitutes for editorial judgment and boots on the ground (in DC or back home). As I wrote last month—and Brendan Nyhan touched on here—what members of Congress say and do in DC and how these words and deeds are playing at home is local news, and should be treated as such even by smaller outlets. But aggregation is one simple step toward—a walk before you can run approach to—improving local coverage, a way to at least get what a member of Congress is saying or doing into the paper.
Now, with Congress having shut down the federal government and threatening to push the nation to default, it is more critical than ever that reporters hold their members' feet to the fire, even from 1,000 miles away.
"I'm from a district that pretty much ignores Washington," Huelskamp said last week, in a quote that was buried at the end of an AP story. "If you say government is going to shut down, they say, 'OK, which part can we shut down?'"
Back in Hutchinson, Probst told me that while the district is strongly conservative, constituents are not necessarily as sanguine about the shutdown as Huelskamp believes.
"I don't think he's on as solid ground as he thinks he is," Probst said.
Aggregating and prominently featuring statements like the one above from Huelskamp would be a good way to enliven the debate back home in the Big First, and put that proposition to the test.
Note: For journalists (and citizens) looking to track their members of Congress from afar, good-government sites such as OpenCongress and GovTrack remain invaluable resources. The best of these might be Project Vote Smart, whose frequently updated site displays not only voting records but issue positions, public statements, interest-group ratings, pledges, campaign finances and other documents—including, for instance, the House GOP letter from August that arguably kick-started the shutdown showdown.

The opportunism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in immunocompromised hosts prompted us to explore the potential role of sialic acids (Sia) in this phenomenon. Culture of PA in the presence of exogenous Sia resulted in linkage-specific incorporation of Sia which was associated with decreased complement deposition on the bacteria. Sia acquired by PA mediated enhanced binding of bacteria to recombinant-CHO cells expressing human siglec-7 or siglec-9, as well as to human NK-cells and monocytes naturally expressing these siglecs. Therefore, Sia may be acquired by PA in the host and contribute to bacterial pathogenicity and host-cell interactions via reduction of complement deposition and siglec-dependent recognition.

The key to happiness is to always be fucking something
I am incapable
of suffering
because I let it
go only to a certain point
arrhythmia is a tremor,
a Malthusian catastrophe
less solvent than snow.
The renegade who serves
my synapse sequences knows
this, and she develops fevers
to quell my dependence on
our forest of censored souls.
Mine is a passive immunity.
She makes tsetse flies,
fills them with blinks,
and releases them as impulses
that vaccinate my love against
the hurting. I'm not so deep
and I know nothing of suffering.

FoodFoodFoodPumpkinsFood HEY GUYS, I know I haven't been around much and it's also because I am terrible at updating my journal on DeviantArt and I'm getting notes asking if I'm dead ... WELL, I am sorry to disappoint, but I am not dead yet and I'm still around, working, eating, living, all that standard people stuff. SO HERE, HAVE A RANDOM COMIC FOR NOW, which happened while Dexter and I were on our trip in Paris LAST YEAR that I haven't actually drawn until now (I am so late for everything ) :And something about Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pumpkin Pie, Fall, Halloween, Turkeys, etc etc in case I forget again and don't update this journal until NEXT YEAR.

I have a bunch of tm Comics lined up since... 4 months ago... and I'm hoping to actually work on them soon (Along with StupidFox, of course). But mainly during these past two months, I've been doing a lot of sketching and going back on working with old mediums.Warning: This is a Beginning of a Rant Recently, I've realized that I do not have as much time to work on art as I did one year ago.

Lag Lag Lag, also FeaturesI haven't actually been around DeviantArt in so long that I came back to all these new features and I don't know what is going on. You can schedule your deviations now? That's so convenient and something I will probably forget to use! I can change the size of thumbnails in my journal? Okay, that is actually pretty fun and innovative! DeviantArt "Undiscovered" section? Love it so far because then I can find new artists and I don't have to look at naked women all over the front page all the time, making the site NSFW.But when will DeviantArt stop being laggy and have issues whenever I try to upload something? I know it's not my internet connection because I've tried on three different computers at different locations. Also, submitting a deviation feels like I'm filling out a form and it leeches the fun out of it. I understand everything needs to be categorized and there are copyright issues, but maybe I'm just

- 4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon(s) brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large (1-pound) butternut squash
- 2 Bosc or Anjou pears
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds off of each side with a paring knife. Add the seeds to the butter. Reserve the pod for another use. Whisk the brown sugar and ginger into the melted butter and remove from the heat.
- Brush the butter mixture onto the cut sides of the squash and pears. Season with salt and pepper. Set the remaining butter mixture aside and keep it warm. Roast the squash and pears until soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the squash. The squash is cooked when a knife can be inserted easily into the flesh.
- Scoop flesh out of the squash and discard the skin. Place the squash and pears in a large bowl and mash with a fork or a potato masher. Stir in the remaining melted butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve warm.

Trying to dress myself in the months after I squeezed a baby out of my body was somewhat akin to forcing a water-balloon into a sock. A dated, uncool sock. Because sometime in the 9-plus months I took to bloat myself into the bastion of waddly glory I now find staring back at me in the mirror, fashion completely changed, and everything I owned pre-baby looks somehow ridiculous. Even now that I've finally hit that long-awaited pre-pregnancy weight, my body looks completely foreign to me--there are lumps and lines and hills where once there were valleys, as if the plate tectonics of my hips and ribs hit fault lines and were twisted into a new topography. I'm having problems reading the map.
Pregnancy, despite its obvious downsides, at least afforded a certain level of comfort when it came to fashion. I spent most of my baby-growing time in stretchy fabrics and glorified muumuus and since I'm happily removed from Hollywood I was spared the pressure to look particularly chic. Post-baby, however, the game changed completely and I found myself being asked by my 8-year-old neighbor, why I "still look pregnant?"
Even apart from my unfortunate lump distribution, I am struggling with how to appropriately outfit my shape in a manner befitting my new role. I am a mother. I am 31. I don't particularly want to look like a "mom," with all the negative, high-waisted jeans horror that implies; nor do I want to look as if I'm trying to be "young" or "hip." Reminiscent of the well-meaning high school history teacher who raps the Gettysburg Address to painful effect, I can't abide by the humiliation of clothes best left to the newly pubescent.
So what's a girl to do? Too young for Eddie Bauer, too old for Abercrombie, I'm skating past Forever 21 (until such time as they change their name to Forever 31) to Ann Taylor loft and H&M. I'm dipping my toes in the murky waters of leggings and skinny jeans, but I'm drawing the line at those little rompers the uber-hipsters are sporting. I'll leave the onesies to my 10-month-old.


text: I don't have much to add to this. Everyone should either watch the video or read President Obama's post. While I'm a bit skeptical of someone who appointed a former cable company lobbyist as the head of the FCC, the plan as outlined leaves no room for interpretation and is exactly what is needed to protect the future of the Internet.

The title above - "Debt Limit : Obama Bests GOP, Tea Party Via Budget Control Act" - is tame. It should read "President Obama fools GOP into thinking it got what it wanted, but some Progressives are too myopic to notice." What's obvious is the media didn't read what's called "Budget Control Act of 2011," and went with a lot of generalizations about the contents of this 74-page document.
So, I looked around the Internet until I found a downloadable copy of the bill. You can get it here: "Budget Control Act of 2011.".
In System Dynamics, the modeling paradigm and way of thinking created by MIT Professor Jay Forester in 1956, one learns to take a complex problem in society and drill-down to its "drivers:" those actions that make the problem or can eliminate the problem.
In the case of the Budget Control Act of 2011, the one driver is something called a "breach." The term is used several times in the first two pages of the bill. Here's an example:
(5) LOOK-BACK. - If, after June 30, an appropriation for the fiscal year in progress is enacted that causes a breach within a category for that year (after taking into account any sequestration of amounts within that category), the discretionary spending limits for that category for the next fiscal year shall be reduced by the amount or amounts of that breach.
There are two problems: first, the term "breach" is never defined in the bill, leaving the reader to think that it means an override of spending over the discretionary spending limits for that category for the next year.
The problem is the entire first two pages are written as if we are at zero balance, where there's no overage of spending. Then, later in the text of the bill, the language dealing with discretionary spending limits specifically concerns new spending, and then the limit in increased each year.
So a savvy federal budget planner could engineer an argument that certain appropriations are not "new" but for existing program spending mandates.
Let's be clear, the Budget Control Act does set out controls, but for all practical purposes, they're not the hard systems the media describes. In fact, as I read through the 74 pages of text, and thought about what I'd listened to on CNN, MSNBC, and - well, I don't watch Fox News - and read in many online news pages, it became clear to me that a lot of people didn't sweat the details of the document.
So, where the Budget Control Act may not mention Unemployment Insurance, it doesn't harm it. In other words, UE can be extended within this template, and it would be like nothing ever happened. And while it doesn't call for tax increases, the language does not block the introduction of new taxes.
All of this, this Budget Control Act, is a template for behavior and the result of a complicated political game. It's a "template" because you can do a lot of things in it, if you know what you're doing. Note that the bill uses the word "shall" and not "must" or "will" in much of the text - "shall" basically means "intend to," even if you never really do so, anyway.
The Budget Control Act is a wink and a shrug given by a group of lawmakers who seems to really like and respect each other so much, they're crafting ways to make each other look both good and bad in the process.
I write that, because it's either that case, or the other, which is that President Obama just helped his Republican friends flat bamboozle the Tea Party.
Stay tuned.

(CNN) — The biggest threat to the 2013 rally may be Washington, D.C.
Investors are weighing the possibility that the U.S. government might shut down on October 1st. But even if a shutdown is avoided, the bigger concerns is whether Congress will raise the debt ceiling before the drop-dead deadline of October 18. If that doesn't happen, the government risks defaulting on its debt. Another credit rating downgrade could be in the cards too.

Medieval-Type Shoe Tutorial by ~Autnott on deviantART. Medieval-Type Shoe Tutorial by ~Autnott on deviantART. Celtic leather shoes (aided by a Lasercutter) Since I already had celtic shoes with I wanted to use as a pattern, I opened the laces and laid a shoe flat on the table.
Then I took a picture. I imported the picture into a graphics tool (I used CorelDraw, but OpenSource Inkscape should also work). First I tried to vectorize it automatically, but the result didn't look good. Then I put the picture in the background and draw the outline with the mouse; I only placed a point at each corner, and then smoothed the lines (there is a option for line objects; sorry that I cannot give the correct technical terms, since I'm using the German version of the software).

Police erect barricades at Berlin Wall celebration, detain revelers
(Read article summary)At celebrations for the fall of the Berlin Wall, police erect barricades and detained revelers who sought to break through.
Fabrizio Bensch/Reuters
BERLIN -- On Monday night during celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, German police set up barricades hundreds of yards from the site of the celebration, refused to let people through and detained some unruly revelers.
The police said it was a necessary crowd control measure, but it led to an almost surreal reenactment of the dangerous dashes East Berliners used to make for the West a generation ago. Citizens sprinted to get closer to the action with the police in hot pursuit. Some were caught and taken away, though it wasn't immediately clear if they had been formally arrested.
The barricade was set up at the intersection of Unter den Linden and Glinkastrasse two blocks east of Brandenburg Gate in the former East Berlin, where former US President Ronald Reagan famously said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" in 1987. About three hundred people crowded against the barricades, only to be refused entry.
During a reporter's 45 minutes at the scene, the police did not make a formal announcement telling people that the celebration was closed, despite police using a bullhorn for other purposes. In a private conversation an apologetic policeman said that he had been ordered to close the gate at 7pm because the crowd there to see heads of state pass through Brandenburg Gate had already grown too large.
One German-American tourist who came to Berlin specifically to witness the celebration and spoke privately with police said an officer told him that there was fear that allowing people through the gate could cause a stampede. The same tourist thought it was ironic that former President Reagan was closer to the Brandenburg Gate in 1987 than some tourists who had traveled to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall could get today.
The multinational crowd that gathered outside the gate was peaceful until police vehicles began making their way to the barricade. Told to clear away by officers inside the line they howled in disapproval. One person tried to make a break through only to be captured by the police.
