Your entry should contain at least two of my OC's doing something together. It could be anything, like cuddling in the snow, running and playing, or watching a movie together, anything really. I have both animal and human OC's so there should be something for everyone. It can be writing, drawing, or even animation. Traditional or digital, makes no difference as long as the picture quality is somewhat decent.
This is a list of the OC's that you can use in your entry.
Humans – You can use these characters, and of course, their partners in your entry. You are allowed to mix them together, example: Stuffing Sam and Andy together on a picture to discuss something or what not. That being said, you should at least include one of my main OC's in the picture.

I don't really have a lot of OCs. But what about those which I have? I don't really like to use them when trying out new techniques or practice. Which is why I've decided to host an OC contest. The main goal is simply to create an OC for me!
This is a list of things I'd like to see in the OC: http://sta.sh/01nqhwlhdjqj
Keep in mind that this is a very long list of random things I like. Don't put all the things possible into one design, I'd rather you pick about three things which you'd like to focus on and not half of the list!
Or check out some designs I've favorited here: http://reblog.deviantart.com/favourites/
Deadline: 4th of November
Might extend it on request or if I have something which might come up at the time. Keep in mind that it's summer now and you might have more free time now than in autumn.

Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer deny tiff over Rosie O'Donnell
BY Advocate.com Editors
February 21 2002 1:00 AM ET
Associated Press reports that ABC News's Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer denied that there was any rift between them over Sawyer's upcoming interview with Rosie O'Donnell, in which O'Donnell reportedly will discuss her homosexuality for the first time publicly. Walters did admit that she should have been more sensitive to any public perception that she was trying to undermine Sawyer.
Sawyer landed the much-sought-after interview with O'Donnell, which will air on ABC's Primetime Thursday on March 14 as part of a story about the adoption of children by gay parents. Last Thursday--the day that Sawyer was taping the interview with O'Donnell--Walters and her cohosts on The View discussed a news item about O'Donnell and Sawyer, and in doing so they publicly asserted that O'Donnell is a lesbian.
Walters admitted that, while she had competed with Sawyer for the O'Donnell interview, she was not thinking about it when raising the subject on The View. "This had nothing to do with getting an interview with Rosie, but I am sensitive enough now as I look back to see how it could be interpreted that way and how, if one didn't know the story and wanted to create a story, it could look as if I was trying to harm Diane," said Walters. "This is not the evil axis. This is a little misunderstanding."

Experienced growers know that a beautiful, sustainable garden starts with living, healthy soil. Most plants thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic, soils that are rich in organic matter. The challenge, however, is that most of the world's soils do not exist this way and they must be balanced, or amended, to provide the conditions necessary for robust plant growth. Click on the information and news below to learn about soil health and what can be done to improve it.
Soil Health
Our most widely used herbicide is draining the life from the earth.
We've often argued against "biotech" or genetically modified crops and the accompanying use of glyphosate herbicide — trade name Roundup — because of its effects on human health, sustainability, and its culpability in creating a new class of glyphosate-resistant "superweeds" that are spreading across America's farm country. Now comes word that Roundup is killing not just weeds but the very soil in which we grow our crops.
This article in The New York Times explains the negative effects glyphosate has on soil, effects that include compaction and resultant runoff, the killing of beneficial microbes and bacteria, and the exhaustion of necessary minerals and other nutrients that plants require. (more…)
How to keep weeds and invasive plants out of your organic garden.
September is here and many plants in the garden are going to seed. Some of those plant are weeds. Depending on how carefully you kept your plots and landscapes weeded this season, you may have lots or you may have few. However many weeds you have, now's the last chance you have to get them before the cycle starts all over again next spring. Any work you do now will make your weeding easier next year.
I know, I know . . . the best and most effective weeding is done in early season when the ground is soft and the weeds are small, shallowly rooted, and vulnerable. But it's too late for that. And next spring will be too late to stop weed seeds from spreading now. Weeding is a continuous activity in the organic garden and one's attitude towards it has a lot to do with seeing it as a chore and impossible task or an ongoing activity that provides exercise, fresh air, and a chance to get close to one's garden. Part of that attitude requires acceptance. You'll never get all the weeds (or maybe you're one of those people with small plots who will) and it's better just to accept some. Even those herbicides we see advertised on television as giving complete control don't get all the weeds. Just make sure the weeds you miss aren't the most noxious or persistent. Those are the ones to concentrate on. (more…)
The growth of small farms, organic crops, and locally sourced foods.
Corporate farming has disrupted an independent economic model and a way of life that was common just a few generations ago. Things were different when America's farming economy was based on countless small, independent producers who then sold their products at rural cooperatives or directly to markets. Today, a few large food producers including Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, and Tyson, and a few large (mostly) chemical companies, including Dow Agro Sciences, Cargill and, yes, Monsanto, have a corner not only on our food supplies but the products used to raise them. This consolidation of our farm and food supplies creates huge problems, not just in this country, but world wide. (more…)
We all know the nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur — that are important to plant health. We call them macronutrients. But there's a whole list of plant micronutrients that are also key, in much smaller quantities, to the health of your plants. These micronutrients — boron, iron, zinc and others — not only assure healthy growth, they help your gardens fight off pests and diseases.
The best long term way to keep your garden soil rich with the micronutrients it needs is by adding compost. The living things that go into compost — grass clippings, leaves, plants trimmings — already contain various amounts of micronutrients. Their presence in your compost guarantees that you're returning those micronutrients to the soil.
But what if you can tell (PDF), because of yellow leaves or other signs of weakness (or from you extension services soil test), that your soil is deficient in micronutrients? Your plants are well on their way and it's too late to effectively amend the soil. What can be done to give them a quick boost full of the micronutrients they need? (more…)
Weeding, watering, and organic pest control in the summer time.
It's July and, as the song goes, the living is easy. Sure there are little chores to be done — watering, of course; and weeding — but mostly this is an expectant time with bountiful harvest of greens, peas (if you live where it's not too hot), and fast growing root vegetables. Summer squash are in blossom and maybe setting fruit, corn is knee-high and higher, and winter squash, cucumbers and other vine crops are showing some muscle and starting to take over. There's the first tomato blossom and is that the first tiny bean forming among all those blossoms?
It's a good week to spend time with your garden doing nothing but taking stock. How is your garden plan looking now that things are well on their way? What pest problems are you having? How does the weather look for the rest of the month? Mostly, we just like to sit back and look at the fruits of our work. Things are still neat and orderly, everything is robust and green. And then we start thinking deeper (gardens will do that to you). Where did the craft of doing this come into our lives? How is it that with each passing year we learn more and more about raising vegetables? How well are we doing passing our knowledge to children and friends? And how important are those friends and children to what we do and learn? (more…)
This year's dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico, usually around 6,000 to 7,000 square miles, might well be the largest in history. The culprit? Heavy rains and flooding in the Midwest. All that runoff from the breadbasket will make its way downstream carrying copious amounts of agricultural fertilizer runoff into the Gulf. Time magazine has the story.
The Gulf dead zone, second largest in the world, is composed of oxygen-depleted water that does not support life. The process by which it forms is known as "hypoxia." Basically, the process starts with nitrogen and phosphorous- based fertilizers being swept in quantity through the Mississippi River basin and into the Gulf at the Louisiana Delta. The fertilizer fuels the growth of algae which eventually dies or is eaten by zooplankton. Bacteria feed on the mass of dead algae and the zooplankton's feces, exhausting the water's oxygen as they do. (more…)
We've been intrigued lately how the practices of sustainable, organic gardening and permaculture integrate composting into their philosophies. Your friendly Planet Natural Blogger has been known to say that organic gardening and specifically composting will save the world and both those endeavors seem to prove it. Yet, both have their differences.
We won't go into all 12 principles of permaculture here. But consider how many of them are addressed by composting (as listed in Christopher Shein's excellent new book The Vegetable Gardner's Guide To Permaculture): work with nature, produce no waste, use and value resources, catch and store energy. To organic gardeners, all that come together to mean one thing: improve soil conditions without harmful chemicals.
This is the time of year we're adding grass clippings, if we have them, to our compost piles as well as vegetable scraps from our kitchens, thinnings from our garden (if we're not eating them), and year-round items like cardboard and newspaper. The permaculturist, in an effort to diminish waste, advocates using shredded office paper and the like as a brown (carbon-heavy) material. The organic gardening purist may not want to add newspaper because of what might be in the inks, office paper because of the bleaching agents that make it white, and carboard because of the glues used to hold its corrugated surfaces together. (more…)
It's a point we've made often: healthy soil is the key to organic gardening. Whether you're growing vegetables, ornamentals, or a lush, durable lawn, the health of your soil is what makes it all possible.
Healthy soil is living soil, filled with billions of microbes and beneficial, microscopic fungi; nematodes, earthworms and other beneficial organisms. It's alive. Frank Tozer, in The Organic Gardeners Handbook says that growing plants is the secondary activity of the organic grower. The first? Growing soil. Grow soil full of organic material from compost, full of living organisms, and the other necessary ingredients plants require, and growing gardens, without chemical fertilizers and the use of pesticides and herbicides to control problems, becomes vastly easier. (more…)
We've written a lot about planning your garden, which plants go where, crop rotation, companion planting, and the like. But what to do when you're starting a garden or want to create a second (or a third) garden space? Where is the best place for your new garden to go? What factors should you consider when starting it?
Often we don't have a choice. Our yards are small. Everything is heavily shaded except for that one spot over there. If we put the new garden right in that sunny spot in the middle of the yard, where will we play badminton on the fourth of July? Choosing where to put a garden space is a problem a lot of us don't have.
But if we're lucky enough to have the space where a choice is in order then it's important we choose wisely. It's safe to say that we already know the principles. What's best for the plants you want to grow? Here's a brief and most likely incomplete list of principles to consider when starting a garden. Feel free to add things we may have overlooked and other suggestions that will assure you convenience and make your plants a growing success. (more…)
Reading through Danny L. Barney's new book Storey's Guide To Growing Organic Orchard Fruits (Storey Publishing) not only got us to thinking about what it takes to grow apples, pears, cherries and other fruits without chemical sprays, but also, like a lot of things, made us nostalgic.
Your sentimental, fruit-crazy Planet Natural Blogger grew up on a small orchard back in Nebraska that was sprayed heavily every year. My father was in the pest control business and had access to the compounds and equipment. I remember him fogging the whole place in an effort to keep the mosquitoes and other insects down. Insects weren't the problem, and needless to say the sprays did nothing to alleviate our real problem, blight and blemishes (and we still ended up with mosquitoes anyway). He didn't wear a mask or respirator when doing this and neither did we. But we loved to run through the fog much to his chagrin (Note: Dad's long gone but we're still healthy). (more…)

I pause for a moment and think of the love and the grace that God showers on me, creating me in his image and likeness, making me his temple....
It is so easy to get caught up
with the trappings of wealth in this life.
Grant, O Lord, that I may be free
from greed and selfishness.
Remind me that the best things in life are free.
Love, laughter, caring and sharing.
How do I find myself today?
Where am I with God? With others?
Do I have something to be grateful for? Then I give thanks.
Is there something I am sorry for? Then I ask forgiveness.
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me."
Begin to talk to Jesus about the piece of scripture you have just read. What part of it strikes a chord in you? Perhaps the words of a friend - or some story you have heard recently - will slowly rise to the surface of your consciousness. If so, does the story throw light on what the scripture passage may be trying to say to you?
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
If you appreciated the daily prayer or have any suggestions or insights we will be glad to hear from you.

This collection explores perspectives on life, love, pain, complex emotion and spirituality. The title derives from the Badjau people located in Southeast Asia. This group of 'sea gypsies' have built their complete livelihood on the ocean, while rarely visiting land. I correlate the Badjau lifestyle with my personal outlook on life; seeing this world beyond its external layer while living a different lifestyle.
During my time spent at college, I discovered my love for writing. I began writing poetry at Western Oregon University and the addiction has metastasized since. Many professors- one being a book selector for Scholastic, encouraged me to pursue a career as an author. One day it dawned on me: I should compile my poetry into a book. Two books later, here I am.

An Epic Tale of Hollywood and The Bible
Thursday, March 27, 2014
This weekend, the big budget biblical adventure "Noah" hits the big screen. The biblical film isn't new, but these movies raise questions about Hollywood's fascination with The Bible. Do biblical movies bring non-believers back into the fold? Do they challenge us to think a little differently? We explore these questions with Rafer Guzman, film critic for Newsday and co-host of The Movie Date Podcast, and Krista Tippett, the host of the public radio program On Being.

Ford Escape, Fusion set monthly, quarterly sales records
- David A. Mann
- Reporter- Louisville Business First
- Email | Twitter
The Louisville-made Ford Escape, as well as the Ford Fusion, set monthly sales records in March, according to figures released Tuesday by Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford Motor Co.
Ford (NYSE: F) sold 28,934 Escape vehicles last month, a 28 percent increase compared with a year ago. It was the best sales performance for the vehicle since it was launched 13 years ago, according to a Ford news release. The Escape also posted record quarterly sales of 72,983 vehicles for the first three months of 2013, surpassing record third-quarter 2012 sales of 72,908 vehicles, the release said.
The Fusion also posted record monthly and quarterly sales volumes in March, with 30,284 vehicles sold for the month and 80,558 during the first quarter.
"Customers are buying our all-new Fusion and Escape in record numbers, and we are working harder than ever to keep pace with demand for these fuel-efficient vehicles," Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and service, said in the release. "Full-size pickup demand continues gaining momentum, outperforming the industry for the third consecutive month."
The company's overall sales in March were up about 6 percent, with 236,160 vehicles sold. Cars were even with a year ago; utility vehicles were up 14 percent; and truck sales were up 6 percent.
Ford shares were up nearly 2 percent, to $13.14 per share, early Tuesday, about an hour after the sales figures were released. The stock closed for the day at $13.01, up 11 cents from Monday's close. Its 52-week range has been between $8.82 and $14.30.
Among other automakers reporting March sales figures Tuesday, General Motors (NYSE: GM) said its sales rose about 6 percent, and Chrysler sales rose 5 percent from the previous March. Sales at Toyota (NYSE: TM) and Nissan (OTC: NSANY) each rose about 1 percent.

PBOC Considers More Online Payment Licenses, Official Says
(Beijing) – The People's Bank of China is mulling issuing more licenses to Internet companies to handle online payments, a central bank official says.
PBOC deputy governor Liu Shiyu also said greater attention should be paid to risks related to financial services offered on the Net.
The central bank was considering issuing a third batch of licenses for handling online payments because the e-commerce sector was growing so fast, Liu said at an Internet industry conference on August 13. The value of online transactions hit 6 trillion yuan last year, he said, adding that while the value of individual transactions was low, the number jumped from 2011.

LONGUEUIL, QC, Feb. 12, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Mediagrif Interactive Technologies Inc. (TSX: MDF), a world-leading operator of e-commerce solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended December 31, 2012. Unless indicated otherwise, all amounts are in Canadian dollars.

- Diluted | 14,374 | 13,762 | 13,995 | 13,743 |
The results for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 include a non-recurring expense of $1.4 million related to the acquisition of LesPAC. |
The income analysis summary takes into consideration the impact of the acquisition of LesPAC network ("LesPAC") completed on November 14, 2011.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, revenues totaled $15.1 million, an increase of 11.1% or $1.5 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 revenues of $13.6 million.
The revenue increase is mainly explained by the increase in revenues from LesPAC for $1.9 million, partly offset by a decrease in revenues, in original currencies, in certain subsidiaries, amounting to a net amount of $0.2 million. Moreover, the changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, combined with currency hedges in place, generated a negative impact on revenues of $0.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Total operating expenses of the third quarter of fiscal 2013, including cost of revenues, reached $10.2 million, compared to $11.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly due to the $1.4 million transaction costs related to the acquisition of LesPAC incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 while LesPAC activities added $1.0 million in operating expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Additional tax credits of $0.2 million were also recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
EBITDA totaled $6.2 million or 40.8% of revenues compared to $3.4 million or 24.6% of revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
Profit reached $3.5 million ($0.24 per share), compared to $1.0 million ($0.07 per share) recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, revenues totaled $46.2 million, an increase of 18.6% or $7.2 million, when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 revenues of $39.0 million.
The increase is mainly explained by the increase in revenues from LesPAC by $8.6 million, partly offset by a decrease in revenues, in original currencies, in certain subsidiaries, amounting to a net amount of $0.8 million. Moreover, the changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, combined with currency hedge in place, generated a negative impact on revenues of $0.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Total operating expenses of the first nine months of fiscal 2013, including cost of revenues, reached $31.2 million, compared to $29.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the increase in LesPAC activities for $4.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 partly offset by a decrease in professional fees (including the $1.4 million transaction costs related to LesPAC), lower salary expenses and additional tax credits.
EBITDA totaled $18.8 million or 40.7% of revenues compared to $11.8 million or 30.3% of revenues during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
Profit reached $10.5 million ($0.75 per share), compared to $6.9 million ($0.50 per share) recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
On December 6, 2012, the Company completed the sale, by way of a private placement, of 2 million common shares for gross proceeds of $35.0 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay in full the term loan and revolving credit facility.
As at December 31, 2012, the Company had $9.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $60.0 million available on its unused revolving credit facility.
Operating activities generated $4.9 million of cash flows during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $5.4 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2012.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, operating activities generated $12.9 million of cash flows compared to $9.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
The Board of Directors of Mediagrif approved a 11% dividend increase in the quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2013, to shareholders of record on April 2, 2013.
We have been informed by our client, Public Works and Government Services of Canada ("PWGSC"), that it will not call for tenders in order to replace the MERX solution. The department uses MERX's electronic tendering system pursuant to a contract which expires May 31, 2013.
PWGSC plans to provide its suppliers with a solution developed internally. Suppliers of PWGSC, as well as those of other departments and governmental agencies, may continue to benefit from all the value added services of MERX.
The Company believes that the loss of a portion of the revenue from the expiration of this agreement will be compensated, among other things by:
- Providing the services of MERX to all suppliers and other departments and agencies that are currently using MERX.
- The increase activity generated by the use of MERX by our public and private sector clients in Canada.

Westminster-Thurber puts 2nd high-rise on wish list
- Carrie Ghose
With nearly $4 million in expansion and renovation scheduled this year at Westminster-Thurber Community, its parent is studying whether to add a second high-rise to meet demand for its independent senior apartments.
A $43 million, 14-story tower for the campus north of downtown is among $212 million in potential projects that Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services listed in public hearings required before issuing tax-exempt bonds. The Columbus nonprofit organization does not intend to issue all the bonds at once, said Kenneth Kemper, executive vice president for project development. Bond counsel Michael Melliere said with hearings done, the organization can bring individual projects anytime within three years to the Franklin County Hospital Commission, which provides borrowing authority for tax-free bonds for private health-care operators.
The commission March 31 approved the first $25 million bond issue, including $1.4 million for Westminster-Thurber to convert a floor in the seven-story Westminster Terrace from assisted living for patients with dementia to a short-stay skilled nursing and rehabilitation unit. The community also includes the 10-story Thurber Tower apartments and a nursing home.
Westminster-Thurber in January started a $2.5 million renovation and expansion of the first floor of the connected Terrace and Tower, creating a "Main Street" with larger dining areas, a bank, doctor's office, fitness center and – to the applause of several residents at an April 6 groundbreaking – indoor shuffleboard courts.
Financing came via $1.5 million in donations and a 2006 bond issue.
The contractor for the Terrace side is Robertson Construction Services Inc. of Heath and for the Tower is Commercial Revisions Construction Inc. of Columbus.
