It's not always easy to tell what makes an e-book successful. Film adaptations certainly help, as does the name-recognition of a popular author with a large fan base. Those are two probable reasons why the entirety of Veronica Roth's "Divergent" trilogy is back on this week's list, just as the "Insurgent" movie hits theaters, and James Patterson's "NYPD […] more »
Even though a new title by best-selling author Erik Larson is close on its heels, "The Girl on the Train" refuses to be unseated from the No. 1 spot it's held on the E-book Best-Seller List for seven weeks in a row. As we've noted before, the title's success comes despite being unconnected with a movie […] more »
Paula Hawkins's "The Girl on the Train" chugs into its sixth week as the No. 1 best-selling e-book, an accomplishment that's rather noteworthy for bucking the trend of top titles driven by hot movie releases. One trend the novel's success fits right into, though, is the clear dominance its publisher Penguin Random House has enjoyed on the E-book Best-Seller List […] more »

Even as we've looked for signs of renewed agency e-book pricing impacting best-selling e-books (and found few), and remarked on the continued power of media tie-ins to shape the rankings, the real story is a rather old one: the ongoing dominance of the world's largest trade publisher, Penguin Random House. During the last holiday season, Penguin Random House titles […] more »

In journalism, it begins and ends with credibility. It's what allows news organizations to rise above the noise of online chatter. Unfortunately, it seems that in the effort to chase traffic and capitalize on viral content, media companies are propagating misinformation far more often than they are debunking rumours. According to Craig Silverman's report for […] more »
Paula Hawkins's "The Girl on the Train" is settling into its fourth week at the top of the E-book Best-Seller List, seemingly immune from the game of musical chairs other best-selling titles appear to be playing. Many of those, including "Wild," "Gone Girl," "American Sniper," "Unbroken" and the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy — all three titles of which hit the […] more »

Lenny Ruckel, lead guitarist for Lenny's Basement, really does have a basement—at least he did in 2010 when the band formed. But the band never actually rehearsed there. They were going to, but the space wasn't available.

"Hall Pass" might sound like an '80s screwball comedy, but really it's a local cover band—and not even an '80s cover band. The name Hall Pass refers to the fact that two of the members are teachers. The other two are parents of kids at their school.
On a stage adorned with plants and giant magic mushrooms, a cowboy lays down a mean drum solo, which is followed by a funk-slapping bass lick dropped by what appears to be an Aztec frog in a psychedelic shirt. Soon, a wizard begins tearing it up on the guitar while more animals float on and off stage.
Singer-songwriter Ben Henderson got his start in Delta Activity, an explosive indie-prog-rock band, and Good Hustle, a spontaneous funk-rock trio that still occasionally plays. When he began his solo career, though, Henderson started writing heartfelt, passionate songs on his acoustic guitar. Eventually he wanted to do the same kind of songs in a band setting, and so a couple of years ago he started Brother Grand. This time, all he had to do was add one member: upright bassist Endika.
A decade ago, when locals Flor De Caña were just getting started, there were several traditional Latin bands. Nowadays, most Latin bands are fusing in other elements like ska, reggae, electronic and hip-hop. Flor De Caña, however, stays true to the sounds of authentic Cuban son and cumbia.
California Swampgrass might seem like a weird name for a Santa Cruz band, as there are no swamps around these parts, but the members of the California Swampgrass Band have in fact spent their fair share of time in the Georgia swamplands, playing traditional bluegrass.
Seven years ago, Angi Lemucchi had a notebook full of lyrics and chords and a desire to turn them into songs.
Over a decade ago San Jose/Santa Cruz rapper Kung Fu Vampire started fusing straightforward hip-hop with a live band and dark theatrical elements of vampires and kung fu. It took several years, but when the Insane Clown Posse's fanbase (known as juggalos), heard him, they embraced him full on.
For garage-rockers and surf bands, playing the annual two-day music festival in Southern California known as Burgerama is an important milestone in their career.
Local four-piece the Devil Himself describe themselves as the "Rodney Dangerfields of metal" in their band bio. Some bands get no respect.

what camera did you use ?
Nearly declined this for over processing until I had seen description of the efforts you went to for this. Well done and a well deserved feature for you
Thanks! Was a bit hard to try this! In the original inspiration they used about 20 flashes and a big pool and real glass. We used the "glass" from a IKEA frame for this one
Well you got a good effect with allot less resources. Sometimes I do wonder with these big photoshoots, if they are just using all that kit because they have forgotten how to use a more basic setup.
I think so, it's pretty hard to imagine having all this stuff..So I'm trying to make the best out of the little I have!
Wow, really cool shot, and when I read what effort went into it, I had to fav it!
Greetings from Belgium,

Sherlock detests sleep. Avoids it whenever possible. It's dull, pedestrian, unproductive and a waste of time. He only sleeps when it becomes absolutely necessary. When his body and mind are on the edge of collapse from over-exertion. Sleep was never a voluntary activity for him.
At least that's how it used to be. Now he sleeps quite regularly. Even on cases.
But only in the back of a cab. This is because of a certain jumper-wearing doctor that shares the cabs with him. Because in the cabs he can pillow against the above-mentioned doctor and sleep quiet contently.
It started out by accident of course; this "pillowing arrangement." They'd been on a particularly brutal case for over a week; a string of child murders made to look like suicides. The killers knew what they were doing and were painstakingly thorough in covering their tracks. Even managed to feed them a few false leads. Not thorough enough to trump Sherlock though. It had taken 9 days and a 3 hour foot chase across London, but they finally managed to apprehend the murders; workers for a cleaning company that were hired by the parents of the children. Sherlock had barely slept the entire time and when he had it'd been brief one hour naps forced on him by a concerned John.
Needless to say he was exhausted and five minutes into their 45 minute cab ride home he fell asleep. He'd just drifted off sitting straight up at first but slowly; as the cab moved and his body thoughtlessly sought a more comfortable position he drifted towards John until he was leaning on him entirely. He wasn't even aware of this until he slowly came to; with a gentle prodding and familiar voice saying "Wake up Sherlock. We're back at the flat." He was groggy and didn't really understand anything other than the fact that he was very tired and had an unusually warm and cozy pillow.It smelled good too.
So he just burrowed closer muttering objections as he began to drift off again. John chuckled and it rumbled pleasantly through Sherlock. "No wonder people talk." he muttered, in amusement more than irritation. Still he renewed his efforts; shaking Sherlock. "Come on you big lump. Wake up or I'm going to leave you in the cab." Reluctantly Sherlock stirs and grumbles that John "Wouldn't dare." but straightens up and climbs out of the cab anyway. They make their way upstairs with Sherlock yawning the whole way and John fighting back giggles at his sleepy friend. Really there isn't anything more amusing and adorable than a sleepy Sherlock. But John would never tell him that. They get into the flat and skip their customary tea and food; instead preparing immediately for bed. He doesn't say anything about Sherlock cuddling up to him in the cab, but gives him an unusually warm and soft smile when he bids him goodnight.
Sherlock goes to his room and tries to sleep again, but it's not the same without his jumper-clad pillow. Instead he ends up nicking John's laptop and typing up details of the case for his website; only drifting off sometime in the early morning for an hour or two. He's thankful John never mentions it; because he's really not a cuddly sort and the whole thing would be a bit embarrassing to discuss.
But the experience taught him that sleep or at least rest, can in fact be pleasant and the moderate embarrassment is certainly worth it.
Now whenever he can he sleeps in the cab, or pretends to. It's a marvelous excuse to lean against John; listening to his heartbeat, steadfast and comforting as the man himself. Feeling the soft rise and fall of his chest as he takes in rhythmic, shallow breaths. Allowing John's soft, warm, familiar scent to envelop him and attach itself to his clothes, where it will cling for the rest of the night. This is why he doesn't bother to change before bed.
And John is none the wiser. He's simply thinks Sherlock has finally started giving into his body's demand for rest and is unaware of his snuggling habit.
Not that he minds of course. He actually quiet likes it; though he'll never admit it out loud. These cab rides home have quickly become his favorite part of the cases. With Sherlock's warm weight against him, his curls rustling as he breaths across them; inhaling their crisp scent.
Sometimes he'll catch the cabbie watching them; smiling. And John will smile back. They're not a couple; not likely that they ever will be, he thinks, but it's still nice to pretend. And he does. He watches Sherlock sleep, studying his angular, porcelain face in the dim lights that dance through the cab windows. He doesn't get many chances just to look at, to marvel at Sherlock; who would surely notice if John tried to sneak glances at him while he as awake. So he takes this time, this chance that's been granted to him.
He often prays for heavy traffic to lengthen their ride or perhaps road construction causing a detour. Anything will do.
He's usually careful not to move so he doesn't awaken Sherlock or dislodge him. Once Sherlock's settled against him for the ride he usually maintains that position the rest of the way; even if he's moderately uncomfortable sometimes. But tonight he's feeling particularly courageous. Maybe it was that rare warm smile Sherlock shot him when he helped to piece together the finale bit of the puzzle on the case. Maybe it's just the desire that's been building in him since these cab naps started.
Whatever it is, he abandons his usual caution and gently tilts his head to press a careful kiss on Sherlock's head. His lips brush the silken curls and he allows himself to pause; breathing in the moment. God, he's wanted to do that for so long. He wants to do more of course, but it's a start. He lets out a contented sigh and gently rests his head atop Sherlock's; thankful for over-exhaustion and the chances it presents him.
Sherlock; who of course is not asleep; snuggles closer to John at the touch. He smiles into the dark at John's tender action and contently murmurs his name. Perhaps soon enough they'll be doing this without the pretense of exhaustion and sleep. At least he hopes so. And John does to, of course.

Pentax Optio S7 review
Started Mar 5, 2007 | User reviews thread
Shop cameras & lenses ▾
New Member • Posts: 8
If you like features you might like this camera but thats were it stops. This was my second Pentax and picture quality is poor. I had returned my first thinking there has to be something wrong with it. No. This one was just the same. Poor picture quality. Also the battery which is rechargable is only good for about 150 pics. It might seem like a lot but the battery indicator falls after about 20 pics fully charged. If you like features and don't care about picture quality or charging a battery every day then this is for you.
Poor picture quality and battery dies fast.

ISLAMABAD: Terror revisited the capital city of Islamabad on early Wednesday morning when a powerful bomb went off at a crowded marketplace, killing at least 24 people and wounding nearly 120 others.
The deadliest bombing occurred at a wholesale fruit and vegetable market in I-11 sector of the capital city located at the edge with Rawalpindi. It came a day before the expiry of the extended unilateral ceasefire announced by Pakistani Taliban as part of a shaky peace talks with the government.
Eyewitnesses said the blast sent boxes of fruit and vegetable flying and left a deep crater at the scene. Human flesh, blood soaked clothes, shoes, broken wooden crates of fruit and vegetable littered the blast scene.
Police quickly cordoned off the area and started search operation. "It was an act of terrorism," said a local police official. He said the explosives were planted in a box of fruit hidden beneath guava boxes and was detonated through a remote controlled device.
The dead and wounded were rushed to hospitals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. "So far, we received 18 dead and 56 injured in the hospital," said Dr Javed Akram, vice chancellor of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad. He said that nine of the injured at his facility were in very critical condition. "At least 11 bodies were beyond recognition," he added.
Two dead bodies and 35 injured were taken into Holy Family Hospital, a government facility in Rawalpindi. Another two injured were treated in Rawalpindi's district headquarters hospital while four wounded were given first aid treatment in a nearby social security hospital.
"Almost all the injured and deceased are adult males, with many sustaining head injuries. The bodies have been shifted to the mortuary and preserved," said Dr Aisha Eisani, PIMS spokesperson.
Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan visited the area and directed police authorities to submit inquiry report by Wednesday's evening. "The investigation is going on here as well as at Sharaqpur where the vehicle with fruit boxes was first loaded. We don't need to draw conclusions before time. However, the involvement of some suspected hands cannot be ruled out," Nisar vowed.
He said that mostly poor labour from Pashto speaking areas was targeted in the attack. "I assure you that the government will bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice," he said. He assured that government will find the terrorists behind the incident and bring them to justice. He promised that government will compensate the affected families.
At the same time, he fell hard on the previous PPP-led government, claiming that it had bought scanners costing a billion rupees which cannot detect explosives. "Even two of the four scanners did not arrive," he said while stressing on importance of technology in curbing violence. "We need to set up a transparent system to monitor flow of goods," he added.
Information minister Pervez Rasheed said that space for terrorists has been squeezing in the country as people blamed for previous attack have distanced themselves from Wednesday's bloodbath.
Khalid Khattak, inspector general of Islamabad's police, said that around 1500 to 2000 people were present when the bomb ripped through the marketplace. "About four to five kilogrammes of explosives were in the attack," he said, adding that it was not humanly possible to check every individual who visited the market.
Earlier, Pakistani Taliban in a statement denied responsibility for the attack. In an email statement sent to reporters, Shahidullah Shahid, Pakistani Taliban spokesman, said: "It is tragic that innocents have been killed in attacks on public places. Such attacks are "haram" (unlawful)." He claimed that hidden elements were responsible for the recent acts of violence in Islamabad and Baluchistan province. "The TTP remains committed to its ceasefire," he said.
However, inside sources revealed that there was intense rivalry within the ranks of TTP over the issue of ongoing talks with the government. The group opposing talks associate itself with slain Hakimullah Mehsud while the pro-dialogue group is represented by Khan Said Sajna, a senior Taliban commander who was considered as one of the top contenders for the post of TTP chief after the death of Hakimullah Mehsud.
Sources said that during recent meetings of Taliban Shura (decision making body), commanders of Hakimullah group, including Umar Khalid Khurassani, the head of TTP in Mohmand Agency and his close comrade Sajjad Mohmand, stressed on calling off the ceasefire and resumption of violent attacks, the demands which were opposed by Sajna group.

How one IT guy manages 500 devices with Avast for Business
The rule of thumb for managing devices is one IT Administrator for every 100 computers or devices. Five hundred is difficult to manage for an entire IT department, let alone one IT Administrator. But, Gary Myers is up to the task.
The Avast team caught up with Myers recently to see what he thinks about the new Avast for Business product. "They say you should have one person for every 100 devices so it's definitely a challenge."
Gary explained how he chose new Avast for Business as his security solution. "I've been using Avast for a long, long time, so when I saw that there was a new business product, I knew I should give it a try." Myers says that Avast is a step above the rest and he switched to Avast for Business because he wanted the new features of the cloud-based product.
PC Backup Tips: What, Where, When, and How
AVAST Evangelists' share tips about backing up your PC.
This time of the year – summer in the Northern Hemisphere – is the time to enjoy yourself while traveling. You want to protect those precious photos and videos that you take of your children or friends having adventures. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's winter. For students, it's time to do a little computer housekeeping that was avoided during the year. Backing up your PC is not hard, and the tips you get here from the most active Evangelists on the 300,000 member AVAST Forum community will have you backing up your PC with ease.
The Four Ws of Backup
What to backup: Types of documents and data. The first suggestion from our evangelists is that you organize your files into intuitive folders that are easy to find and easy to backup. Establish priorities. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
- Decide which things you don't want to lose… Documents, spreadsheets, email account details, registration keys, address book, bookmarks, photos, etc. If you identify what's important to backup first, not only is it easier to do the backup task, but you also avoid increasing your internet traffic with big files that do not need to be restored.

So I am making a guitar cake for a guy at church. He loves chocolate so I wanted to try choclate ganache under my fondant instead of buttercream. Can I even do this? Do you guys have any tips?
And also what is the best recipe for chocolate ganache?? And once it's made how do I do it?
I'm only two months in, but I really feel like this is my thing, ya know? =)
So thank you for all of your help. ♥
Thank you =)
I guess you could use google--ever heard of that? Type www.google.com into your browser, and then type "ganache recipe" into the search box. Take your pick of the results.
Me, for a chocolate lover, I would make a chocolate cake with ganache and cover it with modelling chocolate. Skip the fondant altogether...
But hey you're the "Angels" Bakery so maybe you need a different source.
Wow. Maybe I read that wrong, but that response didn't sound very nice. Perhaps you just shouldn't have responded at all.
I don't think "BakingIrene" was trying to insult you with the last line; I think she was making a humorous allusion to an all-chocolate cake being "Devil's Food."
Although I would say that her suggestion of a Google search could have been phrased a bit more politely. (But it's not like she gave you a link to LMGTFY.com; now THAT's an insulting way to tell somebody to do a Google search!)
At any rate, I seem to recall that Alton Brown actually demonstrated the procedure for making ganache on one of the chocolate-themed episodes of Good Eats; I believe most or all of the series is available on YouTube. (Which brings us back to a Google search.)
AI agree with you Strubbette. Wow, this site is for help and learn. I know a lot about ganache but not a ton about fondant. So, I'd ask questions about that. Some may think I'm inexperienced. So be it. Respect, we are all at different levels. Yes Angels bakery you can use ganache under fondant. In my searches in learning, check out you tube for using ganache under fondant. Even under the tutorials on here show ways of using thick ganache and smoothing. It's just basically chocolate and heavy cream. I've never used it under fondant yet. I have used it to ice a cake. Sorry not much more help.
ASavannahcustomcakes on YouTube has a great video for making ganache :)
Hi I've done ganache under fondant a few times. I use this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFtm8q4m4Bk
It's on youtube from "Inspired by Michelle" I use her ratio for ganache and technique all the time. (I've used the dark and white chocolate ratios). Part two tells you how to smooth it on and part 3 tells you how to cover it in fondant. She's great!
Angels Bakery...
Here is a link for many topics relating to ganache on this forum.
The link put up by Danilou is superb for beginners....
Just to let you know - incase you weren't aware...
There is also a *search* area at the top of the page (right hand corner) which enables you to type in what you are looking for....
That's how I came up with the link above for you.
Sometimes depending on the time - you could wait a little whole for other CC members to get back to you...so that might help you/ come in handy in those times.
Enjoy using ganache....
AWow, y'all are awesome! Thank you :) And yes I've only been doing this since Valentine's this year so I'm still learning. But God has given me great resources, including all of you guys... and I'm very grateful :) Thank you again, I can't wait to try it out!!
AI really like answering peoples questions if I can , if I have trouble answering the question I will either not answer the question or I myself will do a Google search find the answer and bring back the link for the question. Thats what this site is ALL about to learn from each other .
HAPPY BAKING. :grin:
@Angels Bakery, are you new to caking or to this site? When I joined I was not a new caker but seeing all the talent I felt like a novice. If you are new to caking altogether the word "Bakery" to a lot of people implies that you have a certain amount of experience. So I can understand why BakingIrene might be taken back abit. Only she can explain why she commented in that way.
I also enjoy helping others but don't have all the answers. When I need help I run to you all for answers. I opened the thread because I recently tried covering a cake completely with chocolate ganache and it was wonderful. I had not used ganache for about 2yrs and even then it was only the top of the cake. I loved it and so did everyone else. I Want to learn more about using is as this may be how I cover my cakes from now on. Thanks for your help all.
ANasty unhelpful comments will result in banning. The member post in question has been deleted, please make no further mention of it.
Sorry not all on CC are as helpful as they should be.
AI really appreciate you guys so much :) I'm really excited to try it out!
AI really appreciate you guys so much :) I'm really excited to try it out!
Hi Angels Bakery,
I use Planet Cakes recipe for ganache. For best results use couverture chocolate with a cocoa content of 53-63%. Also, if you're using white chocolate the ratios differ, I surely found out the hard way and ended up with White Chocolate soup lol. Let us know how you get on.
AI have a few problems with this but I have found that if I make sure the bowl is dry and if I put half the amount of cream to chocolate it works out every time with milk or dark chocolate ie 600 chocolate 300 double cream. If white chocolate then I do 600 chocolate 250 double cream thickens up really quick and sometimes I even use a electric whisk it makes it go really white. X
I have a few problems with this but I have found that if I make sure the bowl is dry Indeed, if there is any moisture in the bowl it can make your chocolate seize.and if I put half the amount of cream to chocolate it works out every time with milk or dark chocolate ie 600 chocolate 300 double cream. If white chocolate then I do 600 chocolate 250 double cream thickens up really quick and sometimes I even use a electric whisk it makes it go really white. X Yes, these are good ratios.
So I am making a guitar cake for a guy at church. He loves chocolate so I wanted to try choclate ganache under my fondant instead of buttercream. Can I even do this? Do you guys have any tips?
And also what is the best recipe for chocolate ganache?? And once it's made how do I do it?
I'm only two months in, but I really feel like this is my thing, ya know? =)
So thank you for all of your help. ♥
Thank you =)
Well here is my two cents worth. My post had three brief sentences. I don't see why somebody reported it so offensive that I was banned for ten days.
♦I said "use Google and use the links as you (OP) see fit". A Google search produces links to well-illustrated blogs, recipes with ratings/feedback, videos. How could anybody possibly presume to filter these options for a total stranger? It works much better for the OP to choose specific links from the results of their online search. The forum can then offer useful followup.
♦I said "for a chocolate lover you (OP) can make a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and modelling chocolate and skip the fondant altogether". That was literally a statement of a possible direction to make a special chocolate cake for somebody the OP identified as having a great fondness for the food. NO backstory, NO hidden message, NO implied reference to any X-rated "applications" of ganache.
♦I said that the OP might be looking for divine intervention instead of a Google search, I implied that OP ascribes divinity to him/herself with the self-chosen username "Angels Bakery". Ascribing royalty to oneself as well as ascribing divinity to oneself is offensive to many religions and cultures.
Self-chosen usernames like "Queen of Cakes" and "Angels Cakes" and other usernames that explicitly claim a form of royalty or divinity should be prohibited by Cake Central Management because this online forum appears worldwide.
Yes there is a difference between "Angels Bakery" and "AngelFoodCaker". Yes some cultures name babies "Angel" or "Jesus" but this isn't about legal names, it's about somebody choosing a username to represent their cake-related persona.
Prayers are an incredibly personal matter and I don't believe that people should be invoking them publicly online to get results. The universal proverb "Deity-of-worship helps those who help themselves" applies here. Learn to find good resources that teach YOU to bake and decorate well. Then you will make good cakes and happy recipients.
I am addressing this issue as a separate post because my stomach has been turned too many times by CC forum posts about disgusting food handling practises. Reading CC cannot possibly be worth my time any longer.
The OP stated that they first began learning to bake in mid-February and that they planned to make a cake for somebody else in April less than two months later. More posts from the same member about other cakes for other people...
A BAKERY is an operation that follows all local food regulations and pays all its workers at least local minimum wage. A BAKERY has passed a Board of Health inspection, and uses safe-food practises to produce baked goods for sale. A BAKERY provides all legally-mandated nutritional and ingredient information on printed labels.
A baker is anybody who mixes flour and liquid and cooks it long enough to be edible.
FOOD SAFE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTISES APPLY TO ALL FOOD THAT YOU ARE PREPARING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. Exchange of money is not a critical factor. The Divine commandment "do to others as you would have them do to you" is the absolute rule to be respected.
Depending on where you live, you may be PROHIBITED from selling baked goods unless you have built the equivalent of a separate commercial kitchen which has then passed a Board of Health inspection.
Depending on where you live, you may be PROHIBITED from selling baked goods containing certain ingredients from even a certified home kitchen.
There are other health regulations such as how raw and cooked foods must be stored, that YOU are required to find out for YOUR local area. YOU are ethically required to follow these rules whether you have a certified kitchen or not. The Divine Inspector IS WATCHING.
IT IS UTTERLY UNETHICAL to agree to bake a fancy decorated cake for somebody else BEFORE you have tested recipes and/or techniques for yourself. How dare you take the risk that you may ruin somebody's wedding or other special event because you didn't learn and practise before you made a promise to deliver!!!!!
You read it on the web? You saw it on TV? Randy Bachman said it best: "You ain't seen nuttin' yet". The very best, fastest, most effective way to learn to bake is HANDS ON with the ingredients and the teacher in the same room as you the student. And part of what you learn is FOOD SAFE work habits.
Yes, perhaps your very valuable time would be better spent elsewhere. Neither of these posts contributed anything very helpful to this community.

Wallpaper: Starfire in bikini by elleboeWatch

She's a beauty.
so amazing ! so hot !
Great Pic Awesome Work! She Is Beautiful!
Hellooo StarFire!!!
that pose...is amazing!
Wow...Starfire looks so beautiful.
Great and sexy pic of Starfire wearing a bikini. I also like how her bikini resembles her regular outfit.
starfire is so sexy!
I'm willing to bet that her admirer, Robin/Nightwing, is wearing a Speedo. A win/win for everyone.
Flagged as Spam
Are you talking about me?!
Yes Robin, yes. You kissed her in the comics and in the show. So why can't you take it to the next level? Knowledge, son.
...Because that's gross. Why are you getting in my business?
*crosses arms* And we've never kissed. What are you talking about?
*crosses arms* And we've never kissed. What are you talking about?
She's gorgeous! The mood, the lighting and shades, all of it = WIN.
LOL !!!! she is so sexy :3
. . . . .
I would love to see Robin's reaction to this. Nice work!
oh yeah
You sir, just earned one free cake.
You deserve it
You deserve it
Interesting.. Is this an original artwork or did this scene actually appear in the series?
This is all my idea. ^_^
Wow....just wow...
Flagged as Spam
That look's really cool. My friend who is a boy, jaw dropped right to the floor! xD
Overall, a very nice pic. I'm fascinated by that bikini, though. Is that her actual skin peaking through or is it a design that just happens to be the same color of her skin?
not bad at all!
Very nice!
nice work
Very DC like. Cool Drawing. The coloring was even more awesome.
Nice look its what I think she would wear if the show kept going
She's not looking at Robin she's looking at me! Nite-Lik! This pic was taken after I used my Red Lantern powers and beat the crap out of Robin and puked my raging plasma on his sorry carcass! Starfire is staring at me saying: Oh thats the raging hot alien I need!
You, sir, has just been blocked from my gallery. I don't accept these kind of outbursts!
Um,can you tell me what was wrong with my comment? What did you find offencive? The puke part or the beating up Robin part? If you read Green Lantern comics you can see what I meant cause my comment was neather vulgar nor offencive. That is apart from the fact that when you put up art for all to see you have to expect negative critics as well though I loved your pic and went with the flow of the conversation that was already taking place. I'm sorry if you were offended but I never wrote nothing with the intention to do so.
I have no access to american comics but I will not accept violant comments like that. To me that are as bad as flaming. I like to think people are more civilized than that here on DA.
No problemo! But it's as I said, If you put up your art for all to see you can not expect everyone to say what you want to hear because we all have different opinions. What will you do if someone doesn't like your art and says so? Ban everyone who does not agree with you? I made a funny comment that would be natural for enyone who reads DC comics and I'm sorry if it offended you but you got to understand that you are putting art in a site that is seen by people all around the world and just because you don't understand what they say it doesn't mean it's what you think. And it's funny that you think I was violent when the very character you drew was the most violent one on the show! Or didn't you see Starfire beat up the bad guys?
I don't mind people not agreeing with me but I do mind violence leading to death.
I got notes from other fans who was shocked by your comment. Nobody found it funny and some even suggested me to report you to the DA management.

RH o3o
( •_•) - old
So, I played Hunter all throughout the beta, and am excited for the Bladedancer subclass, so I have access to invisibility. I've always loved sniping and stealth, as my name suggests, and I also like the look of the Hunter's armour the best. Something's making my decision more difficult, though - the Titan Defender. In addition to enjoying a stealthy type of gameplay, I also like to be able to protect my teammates, especially with a shield such as the Titan Defender's Ward of Dawn. I don't really want to create 2 characters, because I want to feel connected to my character. For me, I think having multiple would take away from that. I want to know, on day one, what class I want to play, because I don't want to have to go back and create another character. Yet again, I think that would somewhat kill the immersion. I'm torn between the two classes right now, and am open to any input. I'm a bit of an indecisive person... Note: I'm planning on playing PvE the [i]vast[/i] majority of the time. Edit: It seems like whenever someone suggests Hunter, I always want to say how the Titan might be a better choice because of *insert reason here*. It seems like my desire to defend the Titan class may be telling me that I prefer it...
trumpetcat528/31/2014 5:12:41 AM PermalinkHunter Bladedancer, you can turn invisible by crouching. CROUCHING! Ultimate supportive sniping tool.
Titan Commandant8/25/2014 11:46:31 PM PermalinkI have a feeling Defenders will be highly sought after as everyone will mostly go for offensive tactics. The real questions you should ask are: 1) Do I want to Defend or Attack more? 2) I'm I going to play alone or with people, not mostly but preferred. Another thing you really have to look at is [b]ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO BE A TITAN!?!?![/b] lol
mkm19118/25/2014 11:31:06 PM PermalinkDuring the beta I made all 3 classes, took all to lv 7, deleted all, made all 3 again with different faces, took them to 5, deleted 2, made new faces, and took all three to 8. Point? Why choose, make multiple characters.
justmejulz8/23/2014 11:09:12 AM PermalinkRetired from Trials - oldIf you have the time you should just make 2 characters. Whenever you get bored of your choice just make the switch. You shouldn't limit yourself because every class is awesome. I really like the defender too. "Keep all arms, feet, and ghosts inside the barrier"
FanOfTheDen8/23/2014 11:03:25 AM PermalinkOne way to solve this you want to be the Titan and the Hunter so you be the one left out WARLOCK!!! I will stick with my hunter.
aboniks8/23/2014 7:06:26 AM PermalinkDefender is the thing I'm most interested in, at the moment. I suspect that they'll almost always be welcome in pve groups, once people figure out what they can really do.
Colfeng8/23/2014 7:06:14 AM PermalinkWhy not experiment with both? I'm in the same boat as you are, I know which class I really want to start out with, and I definitely want to try and stick to that one main character, but it's really tempting to experiment with the other two classes. And if you feel strongly about one or the other you can always delete the class you felt less moved by.
DirtyL3m0ns888/23/2014 6:48:29 AM PermalinkSorry didn't read the whole thing ok if you want to play blade dancer a lot and you will play PvE most of the time then pick the hunter the titans shield is best for PVP especially for control that we played on the beta hope you like my answer my fellow guardian.
DirtyL3m0ns888/23/2014 6:52:46 AM PermalinkAnd blade dancer is good for hiding behind corners for PVP and then you sneak attack and for PvE you can wonder around invisible and sneak attack the enemies I might use a hunter but I rather the warlock I hope you like my post my fellow guardian.
mynameisSMITH8/23/2014 6:45:19 AM PermalinkIf your going to do pve most of the time then maybe you should probably choose hunter, but I wouldn't mind another fellow Titan to join Destiny. It's really all up to you.
STATIC TREMOR8/23/2014 3:49:56 AM PermalinkI'm in the same boat.. torn between the Warlock and Hunter. I like the Hunter best because I love the melee and the throwing knife.. but I just think the cloak is absurd. It looks like you have a beach towel wrapped around you. I'm thinking I'll just stick with the little bandanna thing you start with. The cloak doesn't act as a shield or serve any purpose.. does it?
Tubbybubz8/23/2014 5:49:39 AM PermalinkDude me to I love the hunter because of how swift and agile the class is mostly in pvp but I also like getting down into the nit and grit and going heavy with the titan.....The Choices are making me lose my mind!
Nater1178/23/2014 2:28:53 AM PermalinkI would advise the Hunter would be best for you. You get to snipe (I know, I know, all the classes can, and just as well), which is a great way of protecting allies, but from more of a back seat approach. And the stealth aspect of Bladedancer. Also, if you really will be doing tons of PvE, Bladedancer is all you could ever hope for. The one upgrade to the super that bursts around you when you press a button, combo'd with the upgrade that extends the duration on kill will give you an unlimited super until you run out of stuff to maim. I believe this was showcased in either the Mars, or Venus trailers, but it might have been the release video as well. Also: capes. With hoods. ...And armor made from your foes corpses. That's just epic! I, a male Awoken Hunter, hope to meet you in the jungles of Venus, or the caverns of the Moon, Guardian. See you starside.
Alpha8/22/2014 1:47:11 AM PermalinkThis is what I think I'm going to do go hunter and when you play pvp use golden gun when on PVE switch to the 2nd subclass the 2nd one is good at a.o.e as the golden gun is perfect for pvp but that's just me
Tyler124008/21/2014 9:55:47 PM PermalinkIF you want to be crucial in raids go sunsinger or defender, IMO I'm going to be playing bladedancer or sunsinger 1st I love the hunter double jump but i can see that adapting to glide won't be too hard
TheAlbinoKid8/21/2014 9:37:40 PM PermalinkI had the same problem as all the classes are appealing in some way. I eventually decided to stick with Hunter for a good number of reasons. Everyone has to weigh the pros and cons of each class and decide what best suites their play style.
ViralEnsign8/21/2014 9:35:16 PM PermalinkI am going to be a Titan Defender..... if I had to say go with what you love..... I think by your very name you like stealthy plays and I think the Blade Dancer will be very satisfying for you. Try to come up with some builds for each and determine what you want to do. If you want to be a mobile Orb of Light generating Bastion, you want the Defender. If you want to be a flexible high damage potential fighter up close and personal feeding off of your opponents light the Blade Dancer is your jam.
Gunner Night8/21/2014 8:18:48 PM PermalinkAs a hunter fan im a bit biased, but if you really want to be high in demand I think the Defensive Titan subclass may end up being the most crucial class to be especially for end game PVE.
MetalGeistEdited by MetalGeist: 8/21/2014 8:27:27 PM PermalinkI find that the best way to answer these kinds of reflective questions "what best suits me?" is to lie down at night, close your eyes and touch yourself. [spoiler]hahah, jk. When you are in bed, imagine everything those classes can do and what you've seen, imagine yourself doing that in game and doing a LOT of it. Whichever of the two you imagine playing seems more appealing in that moment, should give you your answer. Also, you can tell yourself that you are going to pick a class and then immediately gauge how jealous you think you'll be watching the other class play. Whichever one you think you'd be more jealous of should be the one you pick.[/spoiler]
Saboteur8/21/2014 8:22:08 PM PermalinkPersonally, I will choose the defender subclass, go ahead and choose hunter if that fits your style, and it seems like it does

Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Pittards Glove - Men's $0.00
Those of us don't wear gloves when we ride aren't necessarily asking for raw-meat road rash on our palms; we just have yet to find a pair of gloves that fit properly and cause less discomfort than bare hands already suffer. If you are in the same boat, take a look at the Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Pittards Gloves. Their simple comfort factor will keep you all gloved up even on the shortest, calmest rides.
Pearl Izumi has turned to expert advice from an orthopedic surgeon to make sure that the padding in the P.R.O. Pittards Gloves will protect the nerves in your hands by carrying the pressure away from those sensitive spots. This innovative 1:1 Glove Padding technology, which re-directs pressure to the hand's bony structures instead, eliminates numbness and tingling that can be so uncomfortable.
In addition to smart padding, Pearl Izumi has lavished its most advanced fabrics and materials on the glove. The Pittards WR 100X Natural Carbon Leather gives you luxurious softness along with durability and a great feel for the bars. For the palm mesh lining, Pearl Izumi has employed its In-R-Cool mesh to keep the hands cooler and manage moisture levels as you perspire. On the back of your hand, stretchy mesh with Minerale technology wicks, dries quickly, and prevents sunburn.
The P.R.O. Pittards gloves have been anatomically shaped to optimize the fit when you are grasping the handlebars, methodically fitting around every curve, knuckle and crease of your hand. You won't have to worry about fabric and padding bunching up under your hand on the bars, or sloppily sliding around as you change hand positions in a hurry.
The Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Pittards Gloves come with a low profile wiping surface on the thumb and an easy-off removal tab so you won't have to wait for your hands to cool down after a ride before taking these babies off. They are available in Black and White, and come in sizes Small through XX-Large.
- Minerale polyester on the stretchy back enhances evaporation and sun protection
- Low-profile wiping surface on thumb lets you clear your face of foreign or human-generated debris
- Pittards WR 100X Carbon leather palm enhances longevity
- In-R-Cool mesh palm lining provides optimal skin-cooling effect and moisture management
- Easy-Off glove removal tab helps you peel the gloves off without a struggle

Reviews & Community

Great bar feel
Pearl Izumi's P.R.O. gear is always fantastic, but these gloves are special.
PROS: High quality, real leather plus no gel pads provide amazing fit -and- provide awesome bar feel. If you have your bar wrapped in Cinelli cork tape (or similar), you don't need gel in your gloves.
Also quality. Pearl quality is uniformly superb in my experience. Hence their (very very rare) lifetime warranty.
CONS: none.
A reference cycling glove for use in warm-weather (above 65-70*).
A rarity: a NO PADDING glove
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I abhor padding in gloves. To me all these gel inserts are only there to remedy a poor bike fit. If I put too much weight on my hands, I want to know it. Ergo no padding.
Those gloves are well made and PI stands behind their products FOR LIFE. I had one pair where the stitching came undone (after more than 1 year) and PI replaced them.
Duncan Poling
Deliriously comfortable
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
There are few things in this world as wonderful as a proper fitting glove. The P.R.O Pittards Glove fits my hand incredibly well. Feels as though it was made custom for my hand.
I have been very happy with these gloves, from short rides to the store to full centuries, these gloves have kept me comfortable and cool.
I understand that no glove is going to suit every persons needs, so here are some things to keep in mind:
There is no padding on the palm, so gel tape will be a necessity if your hands tend to get numb on long rides. Additionally, there is no wrist closure system (which is a good thing, in my experience) so the glove is tight and can be difficult to remove. Lastly, the material can stretch a little, but follow the size chart.

It looks like the presidential battle will be about one overarching theme: judgment versus experience. And Exhibit A will be the Iraq war.
Barack Obama insists that judgment is more important than experience. Truth be told, he's right. A wise leader with no experience is preferable to a moron with plenty. But that's not really our choice.
John McCain argues that experience yields good judgment. The battle-scarred soldier, the trial-tested lawyer, the accomplished surgeon: They make the right calls because they've clocked field time. McCain contends he's walked through the fire and learned valuable lessons as a result.
Obama's people frame things differently. Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod recently told the Huffington Post: "It is not a question of longevity in government. It is a question of judgment, it is a question of a willingness to challenge policies that have failed. And (McCain) seems just dug in."
On the surface, this all sounds like a perfectly reasonable disagreement - indeed, it sounds like precisely the sort of debate we should be having during a presidential election.
The problem is that it doesn't reflect reality. Obama, who was a young state senator from a very liberal district in Chicago and a star parishioner of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ when the country was debating invading Iraq, would have voters believe that he carefully weighed the pros and cons and concluded it would be a bad idea.
You may be willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt. I am not. A far more plausible explanation is that Obama took the position you would expect him to take. Just as it never occurred to him that his pastor would be an albatross in a national election, it never dawned on him that he should take a stance other than the one expected of anyone on the far left of the Democratic Party, never mind on the far left of the Chicago Democratic machine. This doesn't necessarily obviate Obama's bragging rights, but the idea that in 2002 he would have taken any other stance strikes me as unlikely as Michael Moore siding with the pro-Bush camp.
Even if you want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, it's hard to give him the benefit of the facts.
As a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2003, Obama said he would "unequivocally" oppose President Bush on the war. But once in office, he voted for every war-funding bill - until he decided to run for president.

(hidden for your protection)
Poor Fab! I, for one, was utterly persuaded that he didn't commit securities fraud by sending an email that he admitted was "not accurate" but not "false," but the significance of that distinction seems to have eluded the jury:
A federal jury found former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. trader Fabrice Tourre liable for misleading investors in a mortgage-linked deal that collapsed during the financial crisis, delivering a historic win for a U.S. regulator eager to prove its mettle inside the courtroom.
The panel of nine jurors reached their verdict during the second day of deliberations, finding Mr. Tourre liable on six of seven claims that he violated federal securities law. … Mr. Tourre, who left Wall Street to pursue a doctorate in economics, may face a fine and a ban from the securities industry.
I think it'd be a shame to deprive the securities industry of Fab's financial-structuring creativity and proclivity for sending embarrassing emails, but as we've established I'm in the minority here. Fab's jury, anyway, seems not to share my tastes in almost anything; they "appeared distracted or drowsy as witnesses were questioned about esoteric financial matters including the structure of CDOs and credit default swaps" and "appeared more engaged when the testimony turned to Tourre's late-night e-mails to his then-girlfriend and the difference between smiling and winking emoticons," which is possibly a good set of priorities for deciding a securities fraud case but also possibly not.1
Poor Fab. Here is a sentence:
For the SEC, the verdict offers a rebuttal to critics who have accused the agency of seeking to make fairly junior employees, such as Mr. Tourre, scapegoats for Wall Street's wider failings.
But of course it is exactly not that; it is just proof that the SEC is at least able to make scapegoats of those junior employees. It goes to competence but not intentions. And it's a mixed blessing for the SEC, as its critics are already re-opening the question of "if it's that easy to win against Fab Tourre, why aren't you throwing all the bastards in jail?"2 The SEC has pretty much settled an Abacus-esque CDO case with each big bank,3 meaning that there's presumably an army of Fabs still on Wall Street who've never been hauled before a jury. There's a whole nother army of people who sold mortgages to Fannie and Freddie, and whose banks have now agreed to pay nine-figure fines over misrepresentations in those deals too.
Basically the list of nine-figure settlements for securities misrepresentations is endless, and the list of individuals sued for actually making those misrepresentations is Fab. Five years after the financial crisis the SEC has discovered that it can convince a jury to hold individuals responsible for those misrepresentations. Well, an individual. Just the one. Poor Fab.
Former Goldman Trader Found Liable [WSJ]
Michael Lewis: Did Goldman Sachs Overstep in Criminally Charging Its Ex-Programmer? [VF]
1. I mean, to be fair, how engaged you look to reporters is not necessarily an indication of your decision-making priorities. But, yeah. Emoticons.
2. Or at least demanding that they admit their guilt when they agree to pay nine-figure fines, a hobbyhorse that I've never understood but that people are really into. Like, yes, a jury has found Fab liable for fraud, and not Goldman, but on the other hand Goldman has paid $550mm in fines and Fab has not. Yet anyway. We don't know how big the fines will be! But I don't think he has $550 million.
3. Except the one whose CDO legal team was headed by the guy who until recently was the SEC's director of enforcement but hey.

MINNEAPOLIS — Tyler Clippard was minding his own business out in the visitors bullpen at Target Field, chatting with other pitchers on the NL All-Star squad, unsure if he would be appearing in this game at all. And then the call came, and the Nationals right-hander found himself warming up in a hurry, needed to come in and pitch his team out of a jam in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Clippard took the mound, told catcher Devin Mesoraco what pitches he throws, tossed his warm-ups and then actually bothered to look at who he was going to have to face: AL hit leader Jose Altuve.
"I was just happy to get in the game," he said afterward. "A little different than I'm used to. I had to get ready pretty quick. But I'll take it. I was happy to get in there. I didn't really know who was coming up, and then they announced Altuve, and I thought, 'Aw, man.'"
Thus began one of the more eventful, 11-pitch appearances of Clippard's career. It included a curveball that hit the backstop on the fly, a rocket shot to left field for a sac fly, an 8-pitch battle with a 2-time MVP and ultimately two outs recorded.
"That's kind of what my job is throughout the season," he said. "To come into a spot like that, it was fun."
The moment involving Clippard most will remember from this game was the one he'd like to forget: His 0-1 curveball to Altuve, which sailed way above the 5-foot-5 second baseman's head and ricocheted off the backstop.
"I've done it before, I think you guys have seen it," Clippard said. "It just slipped a little bit and went to the backstop. … It happens. It's just part of what I do. I don't try to do it, but it happens."
With a runner on third at the time, Clippard feared the worst but then was amazed along with the sellout crowd of 41,048 when Mesoraco snared the ball with his bare hand and fired a perfect throw to third base that nearly caught Alexei Ramirez.
"That was super heads-up," he said. "I thought it was going to get over his head, and I was ready to get it. But he just picked it out of the sky. And when he threw it, I was just like, 'Wow, that was pretty impressive.' I had a little laugh about it after the fact."
[MORE: Clippard has eventful evening in All-Star Game]
Altuve wound up roping a line drive to deep left field, plenty deep enough to bring the run home, but still an out recorded. Then Clippard saw who was on-deck: Miguel Cabrera.
"I honestly did not know," he said. "I was out there like, whoever steps into the box, steps into the box. And then I got [Altuve] out and I thought, 'Oh sweet, Cabrera! Awesome!' But you know what? In a game like this, in a spot like that, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way."
Clippard engaged in a legitimate, 8-pitch battle with the two-time AL MVP, then finally got Cabrera to loft a 2-2 changeup to center field for the final out of the inning.
"I'm mad at myself for not striking him out," he said. "But I got him out, so I can't complain too much."
Thus concluded Clippard's second career All-Star experience. His first one, in 2011 in Arizona, lasted all of three pitches, including a base hit surrendered to the only batter he faced but then an out at the plate and ultimately a win after his NL teammates rallied in the next inning.
This one lasted 11 pitches, eight of them strikes, and two outs recorded. He didn't "vulture" the win this time, because the NL lineup couldn't rally from a 5-3 deficit. But the 29-year-old was beaming nonetheless inside the visitors clubhouse afterward, having soaked in every moment of the past 48 hours.
"It's such a whirlwind," he said. "It goes by so fast. But both experiences were just unbelievable. Sitting out in the bullpen and talking to the guys about how they hold their pitches. Facing all these All-Stars and talking about the hitters and how good they are, and how they throw and what they want to pitch these guys. I could talk all day to these guys and try to pick their brain.
