Someone Just For Echono - ???
Traditional Art
Mixed Media
VIEW FULL FOR A BETTER IMAGE!!! I just made the preview image look different so it wouldn't conf00se people.
Edit 2:
Decided to add a mini profile... so you wouldn't have to read 11 pages (Yes, 11 pages folks.. on Microsoft Word, including the comments and the fan descriptions in the scraps.) of information.
Editted the profile a bit, and have posted seperate images of Lumiere and Sol. Find the links in the profiles... there's so much info I had to put in in a seperate scrap deviation. XD Also, I added a link to "Sandstorm by Darude", Maple's theme song. Take a good listen, and you can just imagine Maple doing the Sun Dance like a light show/rhymatic gymastic performance. XD!!! Expect more changes to take place ^_^
FINALLY, IT IS DONE. I've been working on this since the day I heard about
's contest. @.@ Which is like, what, 3 months? And I'm not the only one who's suffered! XD
owns most of the credit for this character. I just drew and designed her... and helped out with abilities. And jeez he did the profile really well *claps* I'm not much of a writer...
I'm crossing my fingers. There are some great entires at his contest XD; Cake and I both really want to win, but even if we lose... Maple is still an awesome character in our book. Her theme song is a good listen as well! I'm hosting it on my site so you can all download it ^_^
Now... I must rest and die. X.X I'm totally bashed for this picture...

Summarized Profile
Maple Gizmo
Anthromorphic Desert Fennec
Aspiring Inventor and Sun Dance Performer
Sun Dancing, Inventing things, Soccer
Hyper, Adventurous, Fun, Understanding, Joyful
Weak Upper Body, low pain endurance, poor swimmer, over daring/adventurous
A smart intelligent fennec that's good with technology and inventing. Strong jumper, kicker, climber and digger, all which have been inherited from her fennec species. Has two one way mirrored fans named "Lumiere and Sol"; Maple does what is called the "Sun Dance" in her hometown (Palm Tree Oasis) when in battle. Using her fans while doing a fast upbeat dance, Maple can manipulate lasers and light to bounce off or flash in any direction she wishes. She can also magnify a laser or light based attack, regardless of the source. One side of both mirrors reflects light, the other side magnifies light.
She calls it "bending the light", and the sight is more dazzling than a light show. If there isn't any light around, Maple can still use her metal/glass fans as spinning disks. The fans are sharp, so when she throws them to form a spinning disk, or just swipes them at her opponent, she can cut through practically anything. When the fans are closes, Maple can use them to hit people like a metal bat, since the mainframe of the fans are made from metal.

Intelligence - 7
Combat - 4
Coordination - 8
-Prime Optic Goggles : A set of large snazzy goggles that Maple made accidentally when trying to create a pair of binoculars that could see across great distances. Instead, she came up with a pair of goggles that could be modified for different actions, including heat vision, night vision, glasses that adjust to improve vision (such as letting near-sighted people see perfectly fine) and finally, protective sunglasses so the sun doesn't hurt her eyes. Despite all these feats, Maple has yet to create a pair of binoculars.
-Lumiere and Sol : Combining raw metals and sands from the desert with new technology and her brainpower, Maple created two sharp one way mirror fans, named Lumiere and Sol. Both weapons are incredibly sharp, solid and lightweight, allowing Maple to utilize them quickly and with relative ease. The reflective metal/glass that Sol and Lumiere are composed is capable of reflecting beams, such as lasers, or "bending light" as Maple calls it. This can happen when the side with the moon mark on it is up on top when light hits the fan. The moon represents reflection on Maples fans, since the moon reflects light off the sun.
As a bonus, the side with the sun mark is capable of magnifying beams of light, including laser beams. Her quick handiwork allows her to magnify the power of laser beams, and she can send them right back to her opponent using the other fan on the reflecting side!
Even if there isnt any light present during battle, Maple is still able to use these fans as deadly weapons. The fans are sharp, so Maple can spin her body strong enough to throw the fans at high speed. They look like spinning disks in the air and can cut through most metals due to the friction created from the spin. When the fans are closed, Maple can still use them to hit people like a metal bat, since the mainframe is also made out of metal.
Both fans are built in with magnetic tracking chips, meaning that not only can Maple find a lost fan easily, but the two weapons are almost inseperable, as the magnetic pull between the two grows with distance. Lumiere and Sol hold alot of value to Maple, as Lumiere was forged with the sands of her birthplace (Western Desert Zone), while Sol was forged with the sands of her current residence (Palmtree Oasis).
Lumiere and Sol Info and Close Up Images : Sunny Side
Reflecting Side
-Solar Cube : The Solar Cube is a neat invention of Maple's, which is essentially a cube covered in solar panels to absorb the light of the sun. When filled with solar energy and activated, the Solar Cube releases a light equal to that of a 300 Watt light bulb. Working at a 300 Watt capacity, the Solar Cube is capable of maintaining the same level of brightness for approximately five minutes. After three minutes, the Cube will slowly begin to dim, and will extinguish itself after fifteen more minutes of use.
-Spade Mitts : A pair of metallic gloves that are more of a makeshift tool than an actual gadget. They are basically gloves with digging spades built on the tips of each finger, used for...digging? They are sharp, and, like I said, good for digging, but relatively useless in battle, as they make gripping difficult, and when compared to Lumiere and Sol, hinder Maple's battle abilities.
Physical Abilities
- Super Jump : Like all fennecs, Maple has very strong legs, and as a result, can jump very high. This ability comes in handy when Maple tries to climb something, or jump out of the way of something. While she's not the best fennec jumper, it would not be wise to challenge her to a game of leapfrog; Maple can jump up to 3'5" (her normal body height) with a regular jump, and twice that amount with a super jump! The only catch to her jumping abilities, is that Maple sometimes has difficulty landing from her higher jumps, a problem she's working on.
- Sun Dance : When using her two fans to manipulate light, Maple does what is commonly referred to as the "Sun Dance". Employing fast footwork that would make a neat sound if she wore tap-dance shoes with quick movements of the fans, Lumiere and Sol, Maple's "Sun Dance" is quite a sight to behold. Even without the fans and light, the Sun Dance is still deadly, as it is a fighting style when the fans and kicks are used in melee combat. The Sun Dance is not just a dance; it is an art, which took much time to refine.
- Fennec Kicks : Another bonus of having strong legs is the ability to kick. While Maple might not have a very strong upper body, her kicks are not to be toyed with. They've only been strengthened by years of doing the Sun Dance, as well as playing soccer. When Maple uses her kicks in battle, she has relatively good accuracy, and tends to use her left foot for more of the kicking, focusing her balance on the right foot. Her kicks are even deadlier when used in conjunction with Sol and Lumiere in the Sun Dance; the movements are so quick, yet beautiful, giving Maple the advantage in battle.
- Mountainside Mastery : More fennec inherited abilities! Like most fennecs, Maple has superb climbing abilities. Give her a fence without barbed wire on top, and she can scale it rather quickly. She's very agile, and her strong legs allow for a speedy ascent, whether it's on a fence, palm tree, or a rock cliff. If she can't jump over it, chances are she can climb it.
- Burrow Mastery : Another interesting trait all fennecs share is their digging abilities. Maple is no exception, as she is quite an expert digger; she always carries the spade mitts around with her! When she is faced with a barbed wire fence that cannot be climbed over, she can always start digging. As long as the fence doesn't run too deep into the ground, Maple will be able to slip under it.
- Forms : N/A
Physical Techniques:
Thanks to her Sun Dancing and years of soccer, Maple is a very coordinated girl who can really move! Aside from landing after a high, Maple moves swiftly and can be very acrobatic when she's on the go. Occasionally as she jumps, she kicks off a wall or something high enough in order to gain more height. As stated before, she does tend to have trouble landing after a high jump since the rush of falling makes her forget to keep balance. She's not much of a puncher or one to throw people with her bare hands. Her arms are quick and light enough to handle the fans at a speedy rate.
Being weak in the upper body, Maple does the common technique of "dodge first, attack later" and goes by a strategy when fighting. Her eyes are able to see fast movements, so her reaction to move out of the way is at its peak. After dodging, when she finds the opportunity to strike back, she'll take it. The metal slab on her boots allows her to strike a kick with some serious damage. However, the less time it takes for her to prepare a kick, the weaker it is. Maple's swift kicks usually don't cause extreme pain, but can wear an opponent out. If she takes her time while kicking, you'd better get out of there quick!
Others rise with the moon, but Maple rises with the sun. The sunlight helps her blind her enemies with her fans by reflecting the rays off the mirrored side of her fans. Her Sun Dance light show has a tendacy to distract her opponents, giving her a great opportunity to give them a kick or slash at them with her fans. She tends to throw her fans best with her right arm, making them spin into a deadly disk that's bound to cut anything in its path.
Overall, while Maple lacks supernatural abilities and muscular strength, she's still a tough cookie to break... proving that even your average furries can fight just as well. Her fans, Lumiere and Sol, plus the combined strength of her legs make her a deadly "desert flower" indeed!
Personal Information

Known Relatives : Alva Gizmo (father), Curie Gizmo (mother)
Likes : Soccer, Dancing, Inventing things, Jumping, Climbing, Sugar, Sunny Days, Family Time, Adventures, her friend Echono
(Though it's beyond like...)
Dislikes : Baseball (She gets annoyed when people thinks she likes baseball due to the hat she's wearing. It's a muffin hat, not a baseball cap!), Juggling, Clowns, Asparagus, Rainy Days, Sitting Around, Being Put Down, Harsh Criticism on her Engineering and Technology Skills
Physical Strengths : Quick, Agile, Strong Lower Body, Coordinated
Habits : Rolling her Eyes, Humming When Impatient or Bored and waving her tail
Gourmet of Choice: Candies (Omnivore) She has a high metabolism and works out alot. This would explain why her figure is so skinny for one who eats candy alot.
Beverage of Choice: Sugary Lemonade (Omnivore)
Personal Strengths : Smart, Creative, Hyper, Funny, Friendly, Tough, Understanding
Physical Weaknesses :
- Weak Upper Body: Can't lift heavy things or punch through rocks. much less her opponent. Her arms are only good for handling and throwing the fans; not for heavy lifting.
- Low Pain Endurance: Her legs are strong, but the rest of her is frail and petite due to her status as a dancer. Maple can't handle painful attacks like others, which is why she does "dodge first, attacks later."
- Poor Swimmer: While she lived near an oasis, Maple can't swim very well and in most cases, will drown if she's underwater for too long. It's not that she hates water, she loves getting caught in the rain, she's just doesn't seem to have the time nor patience to learn properly.
Personal Weaknesses :
- Hyper: It's both a good trait, and a bad trait. She has a hard time taking it easy, so she's usually looking for another adventure. There is a thing called being "too adventurous for your own good".
- Requires Attention: While some are shy and invisible, Maple wants to let everyone know she's there and not another chair. This can be a problem when others around her, like her friends, are trying to "lay low" and try not to attract too much attention. It can also bring up embarrassing situations for not Maple, but the people who are with her.
- Easy to Bore: If it's not something she's not interested in, she'll walk away or fall asleep.
- Fears Clowns: She had a childhood inncident when she went to the circus aroud the age of 5.
- Tends to Taunt Opponents: OK, so this is good... to get them angry since Maple likes to say "An angry warrior fights blind!" but she does tend to over do it sometimes.
- Jumps Before Looking (Daring): Maple tends to take risks, especially when trying to help out. This can get her into alot of trouble with unfriendly people... and she usually doesn't think about herself or how putting her own life at danger will affect those close to her.
Inventing: A hobby of Maple's is inventing various tools and gadgets to try and better the state of the world she lives in. She sees Thomas Edison as a rival to surpass, and her goal is to someday make an invention that would benefit the world in a way that would put her name in the history books forever. Every time she comes up with an invention, no matter how big or small, she always says to herself: "Take that, Edison!" She's a smart girl... but not all of her inventions tend to work. ;D She's made more than one bomb over her lifetime.
Dancing: The Sun Dance is a famous hobby that is mandatory for all girls of Palm tree Oasis to learn. Maple's been learning the dance since she turned three, and mastering the dance is a goal all girls in the Palm tree Oasis dream off. Maple is very fond of the Sun Dance, and dances not only for battle, but leisure as well. "Dance Revolution has nothing on me!"
Soccer: "The greatest sport ever invented!" Maple is a huge fan of soccer; it is her way of letting loose. For a person who practices a rigorous dance routine, and also works hard studying kinetics and key subjects required for inventing, soccer is an escape. Aside from a few simple rules, Maple is able to let loose and release her large abundance of energy on the playing field.
Maple Gizmo is a very cheerful, hyper character, yet also smart and patient. Because she practices such a demanding dance and works so hard on her inventions, she tends to bottle up all her energy, which she then releases when she has free time, or is playing soccer. Maple gives off the image of someone who is on a constant sugar rush; she is normally very eager to partake in any activities, and she seems to thrive off of attention.
Not one to hide her feelings, Maple speaks her thoughts; if she's bored, people will hear it. She's not one to sit back and watch others have all the fun either; she'd rather get her hands dirty instead. She's a stubborn person, and when she wants to do something, it's very hard to persuade her otherwise. The same applies for things that Maple dislikes; asking her to clean her room is like asking the sun not to shine; useless. Unless it's to help someone out, Maple will flat out avoid tasks she dislikes.
Whenever nudged into battle, shell do whatever she can to protect her friends or loved ones around her. Shell get nervous or scared once in awhile, but her strong and stubborn personality keep her from breaking down. Her wits and hardworking attitude can get her out of practically every tough situation. Strangely enough, she has a tendency to taunt her opponents even in battle. As far as she knows, if they smell fear theyll take advantage of it and fight her from the inside. "An angry warrior fights blind!"
Maple's personality is a positive influence on Echono, while his is a positive influence on her. While Maple's personality shows Echono how to be more active and fun in life, Echono's laid back personality shows Maple how to just sit back and enjoy life once in a while, without having to think of dancing or inventing.
At some points their relationship seems very strange. Maple likes to drag Echono places, whereas Echono wishes to stay where he is to sit back and relax. Still, she hinders a huge crush on Echono and fights hard to hide it. Which is interesting, since Maple's not the type to hide her emotions. I guess when it comes to liking Echono so much, there's a difference!
Their personalities can bring them together as a balance, and while it may seem they wouldnt get along at first, you shouldnt give up on them just yet! Despite her sugar high attitude, Maple has a loving heart on the inside and will always be there for Echono, physically or spiritually. Love has no boundaries and different views of life cant stop them there!
Physical Appearance
- Light sandy brown colored fur thats thick but soft.
- Sparkly saddle brown colored eyes; eyes are separate from each other (the white area) and are based off of an oval.
- Dark Peru brown shiny spiky hair on the back that flows down but spikes upward.
- Dark Peru brown short bushy tail with a light sandy brown spiky ring around the middle of it.
- Large saddle brown ears with some dark Peru brown tips with a few hairs out of place.
- Inside of each ear is a white color.
- Dark Peru brown semicircle birthmark between her eyes that lays right above muzzle.
- Dark Peru brown spiky bangs on the right side of her head. (Her right) One goes upward while the other bangs (Usually 4-7 are seen, it varies on how messy her hair is) go downward.
- Two long Dark Peru brown bands on the sides on her face with a small bang at the top.
- Cute black button nose.
- A tall, slim and curvy figure with long legs and pretty long arms. Maple is a dancer, so its required that her body be pretty lightweight and skinny.
Attire (Maples clothes seem simple enough, but as a striving inventor, theyre more complicated than they look, meeting her needs in both safety and combat):
- Midnight blue colored muffin hat (NOT a baseball cap) that has slits allowing ears to be shown and with a button on top. The hat itself is made from layers of fiberglass fabric that has been given a vermiculite coating, increasing the hats resistance to flame and abrasion. The rim of the hat is made from a virtually indestructible polymer thats light, but lives up to its name. It too has been covered with the same fiberglass fabric used for the rest of the hat. Its comfy, stylish and it cost Maple a lot of money to make one, so she takes good care of it since its protected her head and hair on more than one occasion.
- Long black fingerless glove on her right arm thats covered with thin strips of white POP band aid. Maple really only puts if there because it looks good, and since that arm is her most used arm (its her throwing arm and writing arm) it keeps her from having a muscle cramp.
- Sexy (*smacked*) yellow vest thats made from polyester but has a bit of cotton in it, giving it that smooth feeling. Its lined with yellow along most of the outside rim, and the pockets are lined with white polyester as well. Since Maple has been soft and fluffy her whole life, she likes to use clothes that arent as fluffy and soft, and keep safe when in combat or building.
- White cotton midriff tank top underneath the vest to keep her chest from having discomfort from the polyester material.
- Tall darkish brown boots with grey iron underside. An even darker brown buckle can be seen, and there are rigid polymer slabs (grey colored) on the boots that help Maple cause serious damage when kicking. They can also help her if she's scaling cliffs or other rocky formations in the desert or in other dry places.
- Long black socks with a little shine to them.
- A stylish aluminum bracelet brushed with 12 karat gold. Its still a stylish bracelet!
Its also got its own magnetic signal, so Lumiere and Sol always come back to her whenever she throws them. Since the bracelet has its own signature magnetic signal, Maples bracelet doesnt get stuck onto other metal objects.
- Heavy denim shorts that are cut off on the side, but are still connected to the waistline and do NOT show her butt. XD They are light and allow Maple to run easily in them without discomfort. If any idiotic guy does try to stick their hand in places that shouldnt be reached, they will face deadly consequences literally.
Maple was born in the Western Desert Zone, Alva Gizmo's home, but her parents moved to Palmtree Oasis to live as a family. In Palmtree Oasis, Maple grew up as a happy, healthy child. Her father was always a fan of science, and had many a few science books lying around, which Maple would look at, even if she didn't really understand them all too well at first. She was so intrigued by the science books, however, that she'd have her father read her "Theories of Robotology" rather than "Goodnight Moon" as bedtime stories. Because of this influence of science at such a young age, Maple grew up into the aspiring inventor she is at age 16.
Another passion that was quickly sparked at a young age was the Sun Dance, an art that Curie Gizmo, Maple's mother, was passionate about. Seeing her mother performing such a beautiful dance inspired Maple to move just like her mother. She put extra effort into her dance lessons (as the Sun Dance was a mandatory art to be learnt in Palmtree Oasis) and quickly became one of the best dancers, continuing to practice the dance even after the mandatory lessons had ended.
While science was inspired by her father, and the dance by her mother, Maple is unique from her parents in her love for soccer. She played her first game of soccer after a dance lesson at age four. The checkered ball just so happened to roll in front of her as she was walking home, and the kinds across the street shouted at her to kick the ball to them. Maple winded up a kick, and let the ball fly. The kids were so impressed by the little fennec's kick, that she was invited to join in the game. Maple quickly fell in love with soccer, and played whenever she had the chance.
While living in Palmtree Oasis, Maple's life was mainly dominated by dance and studies, while the gaps were filled with soccer. She became a hyper, friendly and smart girl, but she always craved a certain freedom outside of her routine. Sure, inventing things brought forth a certain excitement; she never knew if her invention would work. The Sun Dance was always an adrenaline rush to Maple; the quick movements, intricate steps and the sparkling of the light against her fans was beautiful. And soccer was... freedom. But Maple always felt as though there were certain confines to her life.
On her sixteenth birthday, Maple came to the decision that she wanted to leave Palmtree Oasis, and use her inventions to try and better the world, make a name for herself, and prove that Thomas Edison wasn't that great! While Maple's parents disagreed with her decision, Maple simply stated that it was a decision she had made for herself, and that she had to do it. With a smile, she added "Besides, if I don't tell people Edison was a jerk, who will?"
That same night, upon leaving her house, Maple wandered around Palmtree Oasis, and came to the old building where young children learned to dance. She looked up at the building with memories in her head, when suddenly, something tapped against her foot. She looked down to see a soccerball at her feet.
"Hey! A little help?" A voice called from across the street, where the soccer field was.
Maple looked up to see a yellow hedgehog with bright yellow eyes, large pointy triangular ears, and long old bandages on each of his arms. His arms were crossed and he was tapping a red and green shoe on the ground. Maple hastily kicked the ball to the hedgehog, who bounced it off his knee and began to juggle the ball. His skill was quite impressive, and Maple suddenly found herself shouting out.
"Hey! Are you up for a game? One on one!" She challenged, crossing the street to the soccer field.
"Hmmm..." The yellow hedgehog said (he glowed as he hummed too, Maple noticed with slight confusion) "... are you any good?"
"You're about to find out!" Maple said, outstretching a hand. "By the way, the name's Maple."
The yellow hedgehog shook her hand. "Echono." He introduced himself. "Now, are we gonna play or what?"
Theme Song
Sandstorm : Made by Darude
To Listen to the song, download it by saving this file.
There are no lyrics, as it's a techno song. It expresses Maple's hyperness, and the title is somewhat fitting as well. That's why it was chosen. In Maples reality, this song would often be used to perform her Sun Dancing routines on stage.
Personal Analyisis and Comments
Cake's Comments
: A while back, I was on MSN, and Nazoshadow randomly comes online and tells me that she's entering a contest on Deviantart to design a special someone for Echono, who I've never heard of. I say congratulations, and continue about my business, not realizing that the contest is about to take up the better part of the month of May for me.
I keep talking to Nazo, and I find out she's having trouble coming up with the character, as she can't even think of a name yet. Me, being such a wonderfully nice person, decide to help Nazo out, as she's a cool person as well. I tell her to focus on the design of the character, and I'll handle personality and such. We brainstorm for a bit, and BAMF : Maple Gizmo is soon made up from scrap. Hours of debating, tossing ideas back and forth, and eating dinners at the computer (at least on my end) and the new fennec inventor was starting to take shape. Her design, both in character and physically, is something that me and Nazo can be proud of. Maple is, in my own humble opinion, a wonderful fun, smart and special character.
I won't ramble on, but I'd just like to say this in closing: Maple is a special character, and nobody can take that away from her. She truly was a blast to work on, and I loved being able to have the chance to have a part in her creation. If she's chosen to be that special someone for Echono, then I hope she's treated with the kindness and respect she deserves.
...Thomas Edison blows!
Nazs Comments
: I love Cake so much, platonically speaking of course. I shall be completely honest on this one, but I think Cake deserves all the credit for the character. Sure, I was the artist but by GODS Maples profile was well written. An artist may be capable of creating life into a character by drawing, but its a tricky skill to do the same thing with writing, but Cake pulled if off very well.
Im glad he agreed to help me, and it was very enjoyable to be working with her on Maple. I was really surprised at how Maple turned out to be let it be known that Cake is extremely clever when making the background of a character. Me, Im only a designer lol!
AHEM, I shall shut up about Cake now. I might as well make a shrine for him! Maple now what I love about Maple is her design and personality. Shes very pretty for a fennec, yet you can see her wild-one personality at first glance. She was very tricky to design; I went around seven different outfits, and that didnt even count the colors! Still, she was very fun to draw and Im really proud of how she came out. The only thing that bothered me was the shorts; when I showed a couple buddies a preview of her outfit, they all pointed out her shorts. THEY HANG IN THERE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. So keep those naughty camera phones and hands away from places they shouldnt be! XO Besides, Maple looks very cute in those shorts. XD
I wouldnt mind having a friend like Maple, though Id be force to wear sunglasses. Every time I hear Sandstorm I can always imagine Maple dancing with her fans, twirling and spinning, jumping and allowing the light to flash off her fans. In my head, the sight is far more beautiful than a laser light show. In my opinion, Maples abilities still wonder me; who wouldve thought about reflecting light as an ability? Seriously, we hear about chars that can create light and blast light, but reflect it? Leave it to Cake and Naz to think up something strange as that and it actually works!
Just a little fact Id throw off there, we based Maples physical abilities off of those of the actual fennec fox. Mind you, the little buggers truly are great diggers and jumpers and they love to be social and play! Now doesnt that fit Maple Gizmo?
now then, Naz is off, I have the strangest craving for Maple Cream Cake! (Get it?! Maple Gizmo, Cream the Rabbit and Cake!)
Im going to get socked for that arent I? *hides*
Cakes Comments (cont.):
I work 3 months on this for you and this is the thanks I get?! XO

USC Trojans (7-5)
@Tennessee Volunteers (7-3)
Tuesday, December 21
Thompson-Boling Arena
Attendance: 19,030
Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Maurice Jones scored 15 points and recorded four steals to lead Southern California to a 65-64 victory over 19th-ranked Tennessee at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Alex Stepheson had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Trojans (7-5), who have won three of their last four games.
USC nearly ended the nation's longest homecourt winning streak in Lawrence. However, the Trojans were unable to preserve a lead down the stretch, falling to top-five foe Kansas, 70-68, on Saturday. They were able to hold on this time and hand the Volunteers (7-3) their third straight loss.
Tobias Harris led Tennessee with 14 points, but missed a last-second three- pointer that could have ended the skid that comes on the heels of a victory over then-No. 3 Pittsburgh.
"Southern Cal played solid defensively and they're very strong in the interior," said Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl. "When we went to the basket, they stripped and ripped us way too often. Too many passes to the post players got deflected."
The Trojans led by as many as 10 in the second half before the Volunteers grabbed a 56-54 lead on a Cameron Tatum three-pointer with about 6 1/2 minutes remaining.
Donte Smith nailed an off-balanced three to put USC up 65-60 with a little over two minutes left. Scotty Hopson and Melvin Goins each made two free throws, with the latter trimming Tennessee's deficit to one with 47.2 seconds remaining.
The Vols got the ball back after Jones missed a jumper and called timeout with 3.5 seconds showing on the clock to diagram a play. Harris got a deep shot off, but it missed the mark.
"They got a good look at it at the end," said USC head coach Kevin O'Neill. "Tobias Harris had as good of a shot as you can get with 3.5 left, and we were fortunate it did not go in."
USC shot 57.7 percent (15-of-26) in the first half and led 38-32 at the break.

2k Mid Creating Team
Original Post - http://www.nationalesl.com/us/lol/fo...05/?lastvisit=
First off a little about me. IGN: MiMS Vescent Top Elo ~2050 last season diff account (1835 on this one) Won Triumphant Ryze and $30 RP from placing 1st in a riot backed tournament Reason for starting team - Solo q is an entire different game and i'm getting over being forced to play lux or kass with flash teleport mejeis mobi boots in hopes of carrying a 1/50,000 bot lane :) Looking for a strong jungler that can play an array of different "types" of junglers. A duo bot lane with experience together will most likely be taking priority. And an experienced top. Do not worry to much about elo because I understand how incredibly ridiculous solo q can be. Although of course a higher elo will help your chances. You MUST be vocal and communicate with the team. However you also need the restraint to clear up voice chat so we can coordinate without confusion. Post: IGN: Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): Role: Top Elo: Anything else I should know? On a side note i have a group that will count as fill-ins. They are good but do not have the time for a serious team. |
IGN: Exìor
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): No job currently, so full time availability. Looking for a team because I'm getting tired of the soloqueue scene. Have been playing since season one and was on a competitive team this past summer - a local team - and that was much more competitive than soloqueue. I'd like to get into some competitive leagues and hopefully sponsored. Role: Top / adc - I can do both roles but my knowledge of top champs is greater than adc. Top Elo: 1585 (smurf and have only done first 20) 1535 on here. Anything else I should know? I played CSS for a competitive team in cal-main. We were sponsored and played in all sorts of tournaments, so I know the gaming scene very well. I've been playing league since mid season 1 with only one break of a few months between then and now. edit: also have a 1700 support/jungle from my summer team who is looking to stay with me. |
IGN: sylReverie
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): I don't mind doing small tourneys or ranked 5s. Role: prefer anything except jungle and if support then swapping out with someone per game Top Elo: 2001 |
IGN: DazedGlory
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): my availability ranges. im on daily 10:40pm to 6am eastern time due to my job, every sunday all day every other saturday all day and any day thru the week im off im available all day! I'm looking for some serious competetive fun with a team of great communication, im trying to stray away from the hair pulling solo Q as its just more frustrating than it is anything. Role: Adc/Support/Jungle Top Elo: 1575 Anything else I should know? Not that i can think of right this moment |
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc):still in school so anyime afer 6 or 7 during the week and anytme during the weekend Role:adc/top/mid Top Elo:1101 Anything else I should know? well i can play any role but i love thse lanes |
IGN: Fearward
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): 110%, and im looking to possibly switch over to LoL since it has a larger community, and more tournaments that my current game. Role: Support Top Elo: Eh i havent really played much ranked since i havent played LoL in like 2 months(Nami patch) Anything else I should know? Currently im a sponsored team captain/support for a professional EU team called noMERCY. Im the only american on the team, and its rather hard for us to coordinate practice with a 6 hour time difference, so im thinking about making the switch to an NA team and coming to LoL =D |
IGN: LurkingxShadow
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): I'm usually available anytime/anyday other then Tuesday, Friday, Saturday. On those days anytime after 9:00 EST Role: Available for all Roles Top Elo: S2 around 1200 S3 Unranked. Don't play ranked all that much by myself. Anything else I should know?: I played with a team once before( but it kinda fell apart due to lack of commitment from other players) so I do have experience playing on a team. |
I'm the kind if jungler you speak of, and I have a friend that plays top.
IGN: Ambition V Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): Available anytime. I'm looking for a team for for the sole reason to improve on my game play. There isn't anything for me to learn as far as mechanics go. I want to become a better player and it's time to move out of regulars and solo queue. Role: Jungle Top Elo: 1340 Read: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...1#post33776201 |
IGN: Raistlinmaj
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): Dislike solo queue ranked (obviously lol) but really want to be in a real dedicated team. Role: Top Top Elo: 1260 Anything else I should know? - I really want to join a serious team for once. |
IGN: Päppy
Dedication(availability/why are you looking for a team/etc): im available at night, i get back home late most of the time. I'm best at playing in a team and that's why i'm looking for one. Role: Support Top Elo: 1378 Anything else I should know? : I tried out for a sponsored team not too long ago and outplayed all the 1800-1900-2000 elo supports applying there. I made the team but was unfortunately left aside soon after because the team couldnt work together at all. |

In the last week alone Californians have seen gas prices skyrocket to a state-wide average of $4.67 per gallon - a state record and currently the highest in the nation. Problems with pipelines and a power outage at one of the state's few remaining refineries exacerbated already tight fuel supplies causing the spike. But why has California's ability to meet the demand for gasoline - something needed by virtually every mom driving her kids to school, commuting worker, or small business owner - diminished to a point that has left California motorists extremely vulnerable to supply disruptions? These recent events ...
Fifty years ago this week, the world woke up to a crisis that brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of a cataclysmic nuclear war.
According to dictionary.com a popular definition of sequestration is removal or separation. Although the term sequestration is being bandied about in relation to massive defense cuts that threaten our nation's military readiness, I prefer the term "divorce," because that is exactly what our elected leaders are doing with the Constitution that they have sworn to uphold.
Several weeks ago, we decided to show support for the presidential candidate of our choice by placing a yard sign in our front yard. The night before last, someone tagged it by spray painting a red circle with a line through it on both sides of the sign. We decided we would keep the sign to show that this act of vandalism would not deter us from showing our support.

I used to reload for a Marlin 1894 and a Colt clone SAA in .44-40, and more specifically with cast lead bullets by Beartooth (?). Both guns seemed to do okay with bullets that were sized .430 (both guns I "slugged" to establish they were both .429 across the lands). Never saw signs of pressure, but then I wasn't trying to create heavy loads--just cowboy loads. I read somewhere from a "gun guru" that when shooting cast bullets, they should be sized .001 over the bore diameter. Has anyone any experience with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If this is in writing anywhere it's probably in an old Lyman book, which I wish I had, ive generally accepted the .001" over ruler. But keep in mind these bullet machines today can spit out unreal amounts of finished bullets per day. On a box of mass produced bullets, I think were lucky get a tolerance of + - ,001"
The correct size for .44-40 is .427 or .428. Marshall Stanton (Beartooth) makes some great bullets. I use an 1892 clone w/ 160gr cast lead and 205gr cast lead (200gr JSP for hunting). Same powder charge for both. It seems that the velosity is the factor for accuracy in .44-40. Sounds like you have modern sized bores, which is common w/ some manufacturers.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
If your barrel is .429 and .430 bullets work for you, you are one of the lucky ones. Many 44-40's have chamber dimensions that will not allow a bullet above .428 to chamber, even though the barrels are most commonly .429. I cast a 200 gr RNFP for this caliber. I go a little softer than normal and size to .427. The softer alloy will obturate in the slightly larger bore and my SASS shooting friends love it.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
Thanks guys, I failed to mention that I'm going to begin reloading for .44Special. Since I stopped reloading about 5 years ago, when we sold our house with a well appointed garage/workshop, and moved into a smallish townhouse. I've picked up some reloading equipment and would like to reload for the .44Spec--I still have several boxes of Beartooth .430 diam. bullets I'd like to load up for my Flat Top Ruger. My recollection is that Sam Fadala recommended going .001 over the land diameter for cast bullets. I suppose I can swap someone for some .429's if need be. Anyway--thanks again for your rapid responses. Happy Holidays to you all....
I'll tell you, I love to shoot 44 spec. And 45 colt!!!!! I plan to get more into these asap. They can be loaded to about any need, they are extremely accurate, and let's face it, they are two of the coolest large bore-lead bullet rounds there are!
With lead, larger is generally better as long as the round chambers. You want a bullet that is at LEAST 0.001" over the groove-to-groove diameter of your barrel (for a revolver, the bullets need to be a slide fit through the cylinder throats and 0.001" over groove diameter). 0.430" sounds like a very good size for the .44-40.
For rifles .001 over bore diameter is a good starting point. For sixguns I like to size the bullet were it will push through the cylinder throats with a pencil.

Protest scheduled against Hofmann Forest sell-off
Posted By Rob Schofield On December 4, 2013 @ 4:08 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
[1]For those interested in the growing movement to fight back against the incredibly troubling decision by N. C. State to sell-off 79,000 acres forest that it has owned almost 80 years [2], there will be a protest this Friday on the N.C. State campus in the Brickyard from noon to 2:00 p.m.
As the organizers have described it:
"This is your chance to help save a 79,000 acre forest that has been owned for the benefit of NCSU for 80 years. The University has just signed a contract to sell Hofmann to an Illinois corn farmer, who has big plans for destroy the forest to grow food for pigs (we're not making this up!)."
Protesters have also organized a Facebook page and petition that can be accessed by clicking here [3].

US 5237697 A Abstract This invention is a data processing device operated by a power source and includes a clock signal generator section for generating a clock signal whose clock frequency is changed according to a to-be-measured voltage, a counter section for counting the clock signal generated from the clock signal generator section in a preset period of time, a comparator section for comparing the count of the counter section with a reference value, and a voltage detector section for deriving the to-be-measured voltage based on the result of comparison by the comparator section. Variation in the power source voltage of the data processing device can be detected by use of a voltage detection circuit having the above sections and formed in a simple and small-sized construction.
Claims(4) 1. A data processing device operated by a power source voltage and provided with a voltage detector for detecting a value of the power source voltage, comprising:
clock signal generating means, for generating clock signals at a speed which varies according to the value of the power source voltage; program storing means, coupled to the clock signal generating means, for executing instructions of a program at a speed corresponding to the generating speed of the clock signal generating means; first counting means, coupled to the clock signal generating means, for counting the clock signals generated by said clock signal generating means for a preset period of time and for obtaining a count value; means for storing a plurality of reference values corresponding to a plurality of power source voltages; comparison means, coupled to the storing means, for comparing the count value obtained by said counting means with a reference value selected from the plurality of reference values and for obtaining a comparison result; and deriving means, coupled to the comparison means, for deriving the value of the power source voltage as having a value of one of the plurality of reference values which is closest in value to the count value, based on the comparison result obtained by said comparison means. 2. The data processing device according to claim 1, wherein said power supply voltage is supplied from a battery.
3. The data processing device according to claim 1, further comprising second counting means and a crystal oscillator, coupled to the clock signal generating means, wherein said preset period of time is defined by counting an output signal from the crystal oscillator by the second counting means.
4. The data processing device according to claim 1, wherein said comparison means is an arithmetic logical unit (ALU), which compares the count value obtained by the counting means with the selected reference value.
Description 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a data processing device having a voltage detection circuit generally used in a battery-operated microcomputer, electronic desk calculator, electronic notebook or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 1 shows the construction of a voltage detection circuit of a conventional microcomputer or the like. The voltage detecting section of the microcomputer 1 constructed by the integrated circuit (IC) of FIG. 1 is externally supplied with a power source voltage E and a reference voltage V1 divided by a resistor 2 and a zener diode 3. Further, the power source voltage E is divided by resistors 4 and 5 and supplied to a voltage comparison circuit 6 as a to-be-detected voltage V2. The voltage comparison circuit 6 compares the reference voltage V1 and to-be-detected voltage V2 with each other and outputs a detection signal F as the result of comparison. However, the circuit of FIG. 1 has the following defects. (a) It is necessary to form the circuit elements 2 and 3 for creating the detection voltage V1 used as a comparison reference outside the IC. (b) It is necessary to provide terminals T1 to T3 used for inputting a reference voltage from the exterior of the IC. (c) It is necessary to provide the voltage comparison circuit 6 for comparing the reference voltage V1 with the to-be-detected voltage V2. (d) Only the voltage F is detected. An object of this invention is to provide a data processing circuit having a voltage detection circuit solving the above problems by counting the pulses of a clock signal used in a microcomputer or the like. The above object can be attained by a data processing device operated by a power source, comprising; clock signal generating means for generating a clock signal with a clock frequency changed according to a to-be-measured voltage; counting means for counting the clock signal generated from the clock signal generating means to a preset period of time; comparison means for comparing the count of the counting means with a reference value; and means for deriving the to-be-measured voltage based on the result of comparison obtained by the comparison means. That is, this invention relates to an improvement in the voltage detection function of the data processing device. For example, a preset period is set by dividing a crystal oscillation frequency. A number of pulse of the clock signal, corresponding to the to-be-measured voltage, in the preset period are counted. The count and a reference value are compared with each other. A to-be-measured voltage corresponding to the comparison result is prepared, thus measuring the voltage. The number of parts to be externally mounted can be reduced by using the thus improved voltage detection circuit and an input terminal for voltage detection can be omitted. Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention ma be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, and together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the preferred embodiment given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a microcomputer having a conventional voltage detection circuit; FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of this invention; FIG. 3 is a characteristic diagram obtained from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2; and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the above construction. There will now be described an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the construction of a microcomputer formed in an IC configuration according to the present invention. In this construction, a microcomputer 1 is operated when supplied with a power source voltage E from a battery provided outside the IC. The microcomputer 1 includes two oscillators, that is, a clock generator 7 based on CR oscillation and a crystal oscillator 8, a timer (counter) 9 for receiving a crystal oscillation output from the crystal oscillator 8, an input/output port 10 for permitting data to be input and output, an operation circuit (which is an arithmetic logic unit ALU) 11 for effecting various operations, an accumulator 12 for storing the results of various operations, a data random access memory (RAM) 13 for storing numerals, a register 14 for designating the address of the data RAM 13, and a display circuit 15 for displaying the contents of the data RAM 13 and an instruction of a program read only memory (ROM) 17 specified by a program counter 16 and decoded by an instruction decoder 18 and executed. The oscillation frequencies of the two oscillators 7 and 8, which are operated by the power source voltage E, respectively have the characteristics shown in FIG. 3. As is clearly seen from FIG. 3, the CR oscillation frequency characteristic A varies according to the power source voltage E but the crystal oscillation characteristic B is kept constant irrespective of the power source voltage E. The present invention utilizes these characteristics. The microcomputer 1 executes an instruction by using a clock of the system clock generator 7 as a reference signal, and therefore, the instruction executing speed varies according to variation in the power source voltage E. That is, since the number of instructions to be executed in a constant (preset) period of time varies, the present value of the power source voltage E can be detected by counting the instructions in a constant (preset) period of time and comparing the counted value with a reference count. The counting operation and the count comparing operation are explained with reference to FIG. 4. First, the counting mode is set in the step S0 and then initialization is effected by clearing the data RAM 13 (step S1) and setting the counter 9 (step S2). Next, the numerical value of the data RAM 13 is counted (step S3) and the counter 9 is checked (step S4). The steps S3 and S4 are repeatedly effected until the preset time of the counter 9 has elapsed. Then the operation circuit 11 effects the increment of "1" to count the numerical value R of the data RAM 13 for each time the steps S3 and S4 are repeatedly effected. When the preset time of the counter 9 has elapsed (which can be detected by counting the output of the crystal oscillator 8 by means of the counter 9), the step S5 is effected. The numerical value of the data RAM 13 which has been counted corresponds to the present value of the power source voltage E (at this time, assume that the power source voltage to be compared with the voltage E is En, where n=1, 2, . . . , n) and the power source voltage En can be derived by comparing it with the count Cn corresponding to the power source voltage En. The count value R stored in the RAM 13 corresponds to the number of times which the steps S3 and S4 are repeatedly effected. The count Cn (n=1, 2, . . . , n) is a reference value and is stored in the program ROM 17, for example. E1 to En are voltage values corresponding to C1 to Cn and may be stored in a proper memory to be read out when required. The comparing operations in the steps S5 to S8 can be effected by use of the operation circuit 11, for example. It is advantageous if the operation circuit 11 is used since it is not necessary to additionally provide comparing means for this use. The comparison operation of the comparator circuit 11 can be effected by performing a subtraction between the two inputs and checking whether the sign of the subtraction result is "+", "-" or "=", for example. The "RET" in step S9 is a return instruction and indicates that the counting program for the power source voltage E is terminated. According to the above embodiment, the following advantages can be obtained. Since the number of externally attached parts (such as the resistor 2 and zener diode 3 in FIG. 1, for example) is reduced, the cost of a product having the microcomputer 1 built therein can be lowered. Further, the product can be made compact and the process for assembling the product can be simplified. Since an input terminal, such as T2, for the reference voltage is not necessary, the number of lead-out terminals can be reduced and the size thereof can be reduced. Since the voltage comparison circuit 6 is not necessary, the number of elements of the integrated circuit can be reduced, the chip size can be reduced and high reliability can be attained. In FIG. 1, only a single voltage output is detected, but in this invention, a plurality of voltage values E1 to En can be easily detected. As described above, according to this invention, a data processing device can be provided which has advantages that it is possible to reduce the number of externally attached parts and the number of lead-out terminals used when it is formed in an IC form. Further, since the conventional voltage comparing circuit can be omitted, the product can be made compact, the size of the semiconductor chip can be reduced, the cost thereof can be lowered and a plurality of to-be-measured voltages can be obtained. Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Patent Citations

Bigger than expected
Reviewed: October 28, 2014 by Adventurous welshy, a Bisexual Engaged Female
This was my first ever purchase of an anal dildo and of a glass toy. So two new experiences for me.
As always with all the Lovehoney items, it was nicely packaged and came wrapped in foam for extra protection. My first impressions was, wow. It was a lot bigger than expected, and I was a little nervous as to how I would be able to take the bigger bulb-like end, but nonetheless excited to try!
The glass feels heavy and luxurious. Personally, I like the feel of the cold, but it can be heated if that is your preference. Now onto the good bit. My first use was with my partner. With a bit of lubricant the smaller end slid into me nicely, and the rounded edges made it comfortable. The slight bend meant that I could feel the weight of the glass pushing the sides, which made it easier to reach orgasam.
I wasn't brave enough to try the larger end anally, but a few days later I was home alone and feeling playful, so I decided to slip the larger end into my vagina, while I played with my clit with a small vibrator and wow! Because of the bend and design the bulb sits nicely inside and is in a perfect position for the G-spot. I came twice and when I pulled the dildo out I actually gushed over the bed because I had squirted.
I can't wait to have another go, and for my partner to see me get that wet. Double fun is to be had with this toy, it has been one of my best buys. I love it!
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Double the fun!

Reviewed: June 10, 2014 by voluscious
So this is sold as an anal dildo, right? No, no, no, no, no!
I already have a glass dildo and love how smooth and cool it is. It has a bulbous head and feels so good when it sits just inside my vagina.
Well, when I spotted this, with it's bigger, wider head, I immediately wanted to have it. Hmm, I thought, looks like it might just make me feel full, and it's perfectly angled for my G-spot too.
Well, I tried it out this morning and felt compelled to enter this review after a hot shower and a bit of chill-out time!
After warming up my clit with a Je Joue vibrator, which I have had for a while, I lubed this big beauty up and off I went... quite literally!
I am usually pretty shy and not used to writing about this sort of stuff, but let me say, ladies, you need to get one of these! Today!
Holding the vibrator on my clit, wiggling and Mr Glas about and bearing down, led to me squirting for the first time ever... not once but 4 times! Let me tell you, I was well surprised as I have tried to do this several times to no avail.
My whole experience was extremely wet, noisy, orgasmic, and has left me feeling empowered and luxuriating in the wonder of my body. I am in my 40s and feeling more comfortable with my sexuality all the time.
So girls, I say yes, yes, yes! Treat yourself to this and let yourself go!
And guys, I don't know for sure, but I have an inkling that this might just hit the spot and more for you too!
- Pros
- Weight, length, and circumference.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Gave me one of the most memorable orgasms ever!

A quiet night in
Reviewed: January 27, 2014 by Zebedee & Florence, a Straight Married Male
Florence and I had but only two small glass dildos and thought we would expand our collection, so I purchased a Glas Pure Indulgence Glass Anal Dildo as a little stocking filler for her.
Upon opening the dildo I thought wow how big it was as I had not imagined it to be that big from the picture on the internet. The thought did cross my mind how will Florence ever take something that size.
I nervously presented Florence with her stocking filler, along with a multi speed G-spot vibrator a few days after Christmas, when we were on a little vacation I had booked for us both. I am pleased to say Florence was impressed with the shape and size of her new glass dildo.
Needless to say we test drove the dildo that night, in front of a roaring log fire over a glass of wine or two as you always have to get In the mood and set the scene for the occasion.
Once I had warmed the dildo up in front of the fire, and we had participated in a little foreplay, I lubricated the dildo up and to my surprise the new toy popped with very little effort. I was pleased to see how Florence enjoyed herself.
Florence was that impressed with her new toy that she insisted I should give it a go. I was a virgin on anal play, but I must say not anymore and I actually enjoyed the whole experience.
Florence did say how it was a turn-on for her as well. I believe a good time was had by all.
As an old saying goes, do not knock anything until you have tried it, and we both certainly enjoyed ourselves.
We are already looking out for our next purchase from Lovehoney.

Granted. but Garen gets mad at you for copying his moveset and spins you down. I wish Darius wasn't more of a pain as an ally then enemy.

Done, but now whenever he does damage, his passive deals damage to his ally team. I wish Lulu had a 0.1 cooldown on her polymorph.
Granted, but it now costs 1000 mana. I wish Diana's ult and pull were global.
Granted, but now it gives Rampant Growth to all you pull, including minions I wish Evelynn had perma-stealth!
Granted, But She In Her Stealth She Is Unable To See Jungle Mobs, Structures, Or Champions, Making Her Roam An Empty Map For The Entire Game. I Wish That Baron Nashor Spawned At 00:01 And Moved Around The Map Engaging The Enemy Team.
Granted, but the journal of justice is now one sentence per journal and it is only updated every other month. Also the only champion featured is teemo. I wish teemo never existed.
Granted, but he is replaced with someone twice as annoying, and useless. I wish Gangplank got some buffs
