I've been using Hyland's Gas tablets for several years. They are very helpful for relieving gas. If the first dose doesn't work, I take another. I trust Hyland's to help me. They are one of my favorite brands.

Oooh! I get it! That stallion is the master... I'm guessing this was made before Missy
XD Just like the Master to improvise.
This is Probably the single best thing to ever happen in the history of MLP cross-overs. XD
I can see why Derpy would make a bad decision as to side with The Master...
Ah, one of the Classic Series' Master's favorite way of getting people out of the way.
Oh Miss hooves you are amazing!
this is so fantabulous :3
I need moar of this ship.
I didn't see the last panel to be that
which doctor is that 3: war one? I kinda lost track O_O
The grey one is the Master as played by Roger Delgado, the one in the last panel is the Third Doctor as played by Jon Pertwee.
I love this ship.
Real mature, Master.
It strikes me that The Master's ponyfied form looks oddly similar to John De Lancie poni....sans horn.
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Classic Who ftw.
Teeny Third doctor, XD So Funny
That is undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I like this comic! Also, I have a suggestive title name: The Good, the Bad and the Derp'd. I don't know how I've thought of that. But I did.
Okay, while I was reading that, as soon as I got to the Doctor my mind's voice immediately inhaled helium and I just about diiiiiieeeedddd....very well done and VERY funny, Miss Strata.
Thank you! And please, you can call me Lissy if you'd rather.
Very well! I try to be a gentleman on and off of the computer and that's one of the..."default ways".
This is so wicked aowsome! And it's kinda wierd to see the Master as a pony, not to menchen that his 'assistance' is Derpy.
"I just don't know what went wrong."-Derpy
"I just don't know what went wrong."-Derpy
Brilliant and hilarious!
...would you mind If I wrote a fic based off your pony works?
Not at all! Several people already have.
i just finished the third doctor and this is so relatable.
Third Doctor Whooves is not impressed.
This is lovely, just lovely.
I can't remember if I commented before or if I told you that your Derpy-Master interaction (with adorable icon-speech Derpy) is one of my favourite things ever but it is.
can u turn this in to a comic with MountainLygon fic of ur pic
I think the Brigadier and Benton got shrunk off-screen
Now I'm seeing the whole Derpy/Master thing.
Poor Doctor: you don't stand a chance.
Poor Doctor: you don't stand a chance.
LOL *thud*... i love this
Does the ponified Doctor have ears?
Yes he does. They're simply folded back. Horses, like many animals, use their ears in much the same way that we use eyebrows. Ears folded back express a horse's unease. If they're pressed flat against his head, he's ticked, and nopony had better get in his way!
I'm going to put this in my plot bunny pen, because it's begging to be written.

Last night we attended the world premiere of Sentences, Nico Muhly's homage to Alan Turing, composed as a performance by counter-tenor Iestyn Davies. It was a lovely performance, consisting of seven sections, each relating to an aspect of Turing's life. As Muhly said earlier in the week, they didn't want to put together a typical gay tragedy, and in this they succeeded. Time will tell, of course, how durable of piece of composition it really is, but the Barbican crowd certainly enjoyed it, giving both Muhly, who conducted the glorious Britten Sinfonia, and Davies several standing ovations.
The libretto was by Adam Gopnik, whose day job is as a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. In the program notes, Gopnik makes an interesting point—writing something new these days about Turing is like writing something new about Robin Hood. The myths have become so ingrained that's it's hard to come up with anything truly new. Turing has been not only rehabilitated, he's nearly been canonized. Continue reading

|The Agreement with Alcuin School
|An Agreement has been reached after extensive negotiations between Alcuin School and
the Hillcrest Forest Neighborhood Association, the Preston Citadel Association, Churchill
Way Estates, and the residents of Brittany Circle (adjoining Alcuin on the east).
Alcuin made many accommodations, the largest being a commitment to fund $100,000 a
year for the next 10 years to provide a Security Patrol in the neighborhood. In return for
this million dollar benefit, the Hillcrest Forest and other neighboring associations agreed
to support the zoning change.
We believe that this is an extraordinary offer of considerable value. On our annual
surveys, 27% state crime as a concern. The #2 concern is speeding, at a distant 4%.
|Answers to your questions
Q: Will this increase traffic? A: Alcuin is already allowed 700 students, although they are
only at 540 today. This will not increase their allowed head count. The morning peak is the
20 minutes prior to the 8:15 bell, when all 540 students are dropped off. That will not grow,
because the additional 160-180 students will be high school age with a bell at
9:00. But this will add a second, smaller peak just before 9:00. Likewise, the smaller
number of high school students will be dismissed 30 minutes later, at 4:00 p.m.
Q: How many Alcuin students will drive? A: The agreement allows for up to 70, which is
35 more than the 35 currently allowed. This will actually reduce traffic somewhat, because
a student will only be on Churchill Way twice in a day: driving onto campus in the morning
and driving off in the afternoon (2 "trips"). Parents dropping off a student add 4 "trips" a
day: entering and leaving in the morning to drop off, and entering and leaving in the
afternoon to pick up.
Q: Will we have teen drivers on our residential streets? A: No. Student drivers will be
issued parking stickers and must park in the far northwest parking lot. They will only be
allowed to enter directly from Preston Road and exit to Preston Road. Students will never
drive by a residence, unless they have an exception because they actually live in our
Q: How will this be enforced? A: A police officer or school staff member will be stationed
at the northwest parking entrance to assure that students only use Preston Road. The
school will have a "contract" that students AND their parents must sign, agreeing to the
rules. Violation will be immediately reported to parents, students will be warned, and
repeat violators can lose their driving privileges. Neighbors can alert the school of
suspected violators, by phone or email to Alcuin's Community Liaison, Jana Haigood.
Q: Will the campus change? A: You will not see a significant change from Churchill Way.
The new development plan draws "building envelopes" around most of the existing
buildings, allowing them to be replaced with new construction at some future date. It
would allow the buildings to be shifted around slightly within those dotted lines, and allow
for slightly more square footage of building than now (an increase of up to 16% in Floor
Area Ratio). That doesn't mean that they will use it, but it gives them flexibility. Because of
the location of the buildings, most of this should not be very noticeable from Churchill
Way, other than a new building might replace an old one. The allowed heights will not
change. No changes to their small athletic fields. No changes to their parking lots or the
front of the property, except that a new 26-space parking lot is allowed at the southeast
corner, at the far back, away from Churchill Way, and 25 more spaces could be added, if
needed, on the west side next to the Cooper Clinic. Portable classrooms could be
temporarily located at the southeast corner of the property for a maximum of 18 months
while an existing building was removed and replaced with a new one.
Q: Can we expect the school to keep requesting zoning changes? A: As part of the
Agreement, Alcuin will give a Letter of Commitment to the neighborhood that it will not file
for a zoning change for 6 years. Our City Council member, Lee Kleinman, will sign that he
supports that moratorium. In addition, the school agreed to a private deed restriction that
they cannot increase the enrollment cap on the current property above the current 700, or
the high school students in 10-11-12 above the new limit of 135, for a period of 15 years.
Q: Will there be a football field or bleachers? A: No. Their athletic fields will remain
pretty much the way they are. That is ensured by the site plan in their zoning. Their field is
too small for regulation football or soccer, much less bleachers; and bleachers and lights
are prohibited by the existing zoning and that will not change. With a small high school
enrollment and students primarily there for the International Baccalaureate program, they
do not expect to have major outdoor sports.
Q: Will Alcuin have enough parking? A: City code requires a certain number of parking
spaces per various grades. Elementary grades require 1.5 spaces per classroom. High
school grades require 9.5 spaces per classroom. With Alcuin's addition of 26 spaces in the
southeast corner, they will meet city code for schools. An additional 25 spaces can be
added, if needed, on the west side next to the Cooper Clinic. But they will not have as
much excess parking as they do today. In recent years, Alcuin has taken extra measures
when having large events, to prevent parking from overflowing into the neighborhood.
Q: What else has the school agreed to? A: There are numerous other items, including
visual improvements to the concrete block wall they installed along Brittany Circle homes;
traffic control at the peak of the morning so Brittany Circle residents can get out of their
street onto Churchill Way; restrictions on things like dumpsters, portable toilets, outdoor
PA systems, signage, construction traffic, and use of their small athletic fields by non-Alcuin
Q: Can we view the site plan? A: Yes. Alcuin will not change muchfrom what is seen on
campus today, except for what is stated above: mainly some slightly larger or slightly
reconfigured buildings. You can view the site plan here. You can zoom in or out. You can
see a Word document with the written "conditions" in their zoning agreement here. There
have been some very minor changes to these since the City Plan Commission hearing.
Other items: Alcuin school stated that they will give preferential consideration to
admitting students who live in the neighborhood. They will continue their community
liaison position (currently Jana Haigood) for residents to contact with questions or
concerns, and who will keep neighbors informed.
Q: How did we get the Security Patrol offer? A: Alcuin already has many measures in
place that help "somewhat" with the traffic, even if they don't solve it. And much of the
traffic is not due to Alcuin, but to Dallas International School, the Aerobics Center, and
even neighbors in the 200+ nearby homes coming and going at those times of day. But
after a year of difficult discussions, it became clear that Alcuin cannot do much more to fix
the traffic at the peaks. It is what it is. Undeterred, the 4 neighboring associations
continued to work with Alcuin, and with some crucial help from our City Council member,
Lee Kleinman, at a critical moment, Alcuin came back with the Security Patrol offer as an
offsetting benefit of significant value to the neighborhood, because Alcuin cannot reduce
the traffic on Churchill Way.
Q: Explain the Security patrols. A: Alcuin committed to provide up to $100,000 per year
for 10 years for Security patrols for the neighborhood. The precise area has not been
determined, but it will clearly cover all of the single family homes north of Churchill Way,
and most or all of the single family homes between Churchill Way and Forest Lane. It will
not include gated communities for obvious reasons, and it will not include non-residential
areas such as the Tom Thumb shopping center, Cooper Clinic, or businesses or apartments
or churches along Preston Road or LBJ. Churches and Synagogues that are within the
patrol area will benefit from the same patrol watchfulness as residents, so it will benefit the
entire community.
Q: Will Alcuin control the Patrol service? A: No. The Patrol service will be managed by
the neighborhood. Alcuin will just pay the invoices.
Q: Who will establish and manage the Patrol service? A: Leaders of the four
neighborhood associations (named at the top) worked hard on behalf of our
neighborhood and spent hundreds of hours in discussions with Alcuin, neighbors, and city
officials, all of which culminated with Alcuin offering this extraordinary benefit. Therefore,
the Agreement between Alcuin and the four associations is that the Patrol service will be
established and managed by representatives of those associations who secured this offer.
It will be done in conjunction with neighborhood input. After the Patrols are up and
running, at some future date the structure might change. But initially, it will be the 4
associations who secured this unprecedented benefit for us. They worked hard in the best
interest of the entire neighborhood, and will continue to do so.
Q: Will the Patrols be by Police or a private security service? A: Much work remains to be
done, and the service provider will be determined in future months. It will be decided with
input from a broad spectrum of the community.
Q: Does anyone among the 4 associations have experience with patrols? A: The Hillcrest
Forest Neighborhood Association already has a patrol service which covers 800 homes
south of Forest Lane. It is managed by an affiliated entity. Our boards overlap, so the
HFNA has significant experience with it. In the first year, crime dropped by over 20%. 400+
households there voluntarily pay $120-$160 a year for the service, and it is very popular.
They will be envious that residents in the Alcuin area will get Patrols for zero cost.
Q: How many patrol hours will $100,000 a year afford us? A: If it is the Dallas Police, who
are more expensive, it might be one 4-hour patrol shift every day, plus a second 4-hour
patrol shift on some days (or 8 hours on certain days). If it is a private security service,
probably 30% more patrol hours could be funded. There are pro's and con's to those two
types of patrol providers.
Q: What would the patrol hours be? A: To be determined. Neighborhood input will be
solicited. In the HFNA patrol area south of Forest Lane, about 30% of the crime takes place
during the day, primarily burglaries when homes are unoccupied when people are working,
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. About 50% of the crime takes place at late night, after midnight,
mostly motor vehicle break-ins. About 20% is at various other times.
Q: If the patrol is by Dallas Police, can they control speeding, and traffic violators?
A: "Yes and no." Off duty Dallas Police cannot write traffic citations, nor do they have
radar units in their vehicles (those are only issued to on-duty officers). However, if a Dallas
Police officer observed a car that was clearly well over the speed limit, he/she could turn on
their lights and stop them and warn them to slow down.
We have never heard of a school making an offer like this. It took a lot of hard work on
both sides to get there, probably thousands of hours in total.
We want to thank Carol Scott of the Citadel; Garrett Sherman on Churchill Way; Walter &
Hinke Schroen on Churchill Way; Jack Wilson and Joel Maten on Brittany Circle; our own
HFNA President, Bruce Wilke; City Plan Commissioner (and HFNA member and former
board member) Jaynie Schultz; and our City Council member, Lee Kleinman – each of
whom was key in getting these benefits and accommodations for the neighbors
surrounding Alcuin School.
Many other neighbors contributed time at meetings and made good suggestions, as well.
Our thanks to them.
And finally, the Hillcrest Forest Neighborhood Association would like to thank Alcuin
School. This was a Win-Win for the school and for its neighbors, and it was Alcuin's
generous offer that made it possible. Thank you, Alcuin!

MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FireEye, Inc. (Nasdaq:FEYE), the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks, today announced the availability of FireEye® Managed Defense™. The new subscription service enhances the value of the FireEye Security Platform by combining 24x7 continuous monitoring with intelligence, advice and context about advanced attacks identified by the FireEye Security Platform. FireEye Managed Defense is designed to tell organizations who is attacking them, why and what they need to do to resolve the incident, and provide rapid incident response when necessary.
- Continuous Monitoring: Scales security teams with FireEye analysts monitoring deployed platforms and informing organizations when alerts require follow up. Proactive Cybercon reports also provide advanced warning of advanced persistent threat (APT) campaigns and zero-day attacks. In addition, system health monitoring provides for more optimal detection efficacy.
- Continuous Protection: Accelerates incident response with expert analysts from FireEye who investigate alerts and provide definitive and detailed compromise reports for each confirmed threat. Security teams receive investigative reports and recommendations for each confirmed compromise as well as the ability to contain compromised devices and pivot to incident response as needed.
- Continuous Vigilance: Brings the depth of understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to enable active pursuit of adversaries in your network. Expert analysts use advanced analytical techniques to find attackers hiding in remote corners of the network.
- Know When They Are Compromised : Through broad-scale coverage of network traffic and endpoints via the FireEye Security Platform, advanced network traffic analysis, and active hunting, the FireEye Managed Defense team provides definitive compromise details and actionable next steps.
- Minimize the Damage of a Targeted Attack : By minimizing the window of exposure through features such as one-click containment, and accurate, informed response steps, customers can reduce the risk that financial assets or intellectual property will be stolen.
- Reduce Disruption to the Business: By rapidly and precisely identifying specific devices that have been compromised, unaffected employees, assets and processes can stay online through the response effort.
- Optimize Security Team Time and Resources : By offloading the resource-intensive work of hunting for adversaries, customer security teams can focus on other tasks until an actual incident arises.
- Stay Out of the Headlines: By swiftly detecting targeted attacks, responding rapidly, and maintaining ongoing vigilance, customers can reduce the reputation damage and business impact that may result from the need to disclose data theft to customers, partners or regulatory authorities.

But there's less talk about the "cap" part. That's the government force part.
Will chimney police come to your home? Will Al Gore tell us when we can run our air- conditioners? Will a federal officer be stationed at every factory? Romm was honest enough to admit, "I am certainly not here saying that this is going to be a free lunch."
No, there isn't. If the global climate change hysterics take over, we will pay and pay.
And to what end? In Europe, where panicky politicians have forced cap and trade on their constituents in what John O'Sullivan calls "the universal sign of conspicuous virtue," energy now costs more, but most countries still have failed to meet their Kyoto carbon-emission targets.
I did have the satisfaction of ending the IWF panel by reminding the audience of global-warming guru James Hansen's prediction years ago, that New York City's West Side Highway would soon be "under water."
Romm blogged that the prediction is "needless to say ... nothing Hansen ever said."
But he did say it, and one of Romm's fans even corrected Romm on the blog: "Chad" wrote: "I tracked down that quote from Hansen.... [H]e said ... 'the West Side Highway will be underwater.' ... [T]here would also be a drought and the trees on the median strip would be dead."
I just looked. The highway's still there. The trees are healthy, too.

Binghamton University's excuse for a guidance counselor. Students are required to look at a christmas list of classes, that seems to be printed in german, that they are required to fufill. Reading DARS is like trying to understand the immigrant TA's sorry excuse for english at Binghamton. And if something is supposed to be on your DARS that is not on there, good luck fixing it. The schools staff takes a step per hour and runs on the DDS system. (Doesnt Do Shit)

I am a weight watchers lifetime member, lost 70 lbs about 2 years ago. Well some of my baby weight fell off right away (because I gained so much!!!) but unfortunately I have 35 more to lose on my own. And as we all know, it's the biggest struggle!!! I tried joining shortly after giving birth, but had too many other worries and stresses to deal with that I pushed my weight off to the side. I went back to WW last saturday and lost 4 lbs in my first week. It was hard to get back motivated but that small weight loss has pushed me to keep going and lose this extra weight! I'm still wearing my preggo pants becasue I don't want to buy new pants and can't afford to. I just want to get in my old size!!! My downfall is lack of exercise. No time! So I'm starting with the thing I can control, my water and food intake, and I'll some how work in the exercise soon! Let me know if anyone else is following the weight watchers program! I still need major motivation and maybe we can help each other out!!!
anyone else following Weight Watchers to lose their baby weight??
Posted 12/18/2008
So, I am only 5 pounds from my 137 goal. I am on week 20 of the program and have lost 32 pounds. I CANNOT RESIST THE HOLIDAY FOOD! I have worked so hard to get here and I am afraid I will not be able to make it to goal. I am still fully nursing , so that helps a lot, but baby started oatmeal this past week, and just this week is now getting formula 1oz to every 5oz breastmilk because I am starting to wean. I know the nursing benifit will be gone soon, so I know I have to get a move on and get rid of these last 5lbs....but I seriously have no willpower. We have had company every weekend for the past 3 weekends, and Christmas is next week. Impossible. Oh well........I guess I will have to find a way.......somehow *sigh*

OK, so perhaps the Rams can resign Bruce in Free Agency, but for a moment, let's assume he's gone and the Rams have tons of cap space.
They go out and get the help they need on D in Free Agency and then go for Davis in the first round? No? (That is his name, right...the TE?).
I'm guessing they can't expect him to still be there at 11 and would need to give their 3rd rounder (if they have one) or ideally a forth round pick, or a second next year, to switch with someone at 7 or 8 and get him.
This is the only way I see the offense being explosive if Bruce is gone. And we definitely need Marshall back now for his receiving/check down abilities.

Insiders are buying as bank stock prices sink 20 percent on average and most big banks trade at a discount to tangible book value.» Read More
Wells Fargo on Tuesday filed a lawsuit to prevent Citigroup from pursuing liability claims against it, as part of the banks' ongoing battles over Wachovia.
The US government outlined three new initiatives to aid financial institutions amid a historic credit crunch that has frozen lending around the world.
Today, the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC announced measures to stabilize the financial markets, to build capital to increase the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers, and to support the U.S. economy.
Stocks shot out of the gate Tuesday, a nice chaser to the Dow's biggest one-day point gain in history, after the government announced a plan to buy stakes in the nation's largest financial institutions.
Wall Street looked set for another rally Tuesday, after the Dow recorded the biggest one-day point gain ever on Monday, as world markets continued to surge.
The best stock market day in 75 years will no doubt be followed by a less enthusiastic Tuesday session. But the good news is the international effort to thaw the credit freeze may have finally given the markets at least a temporary jolt of confidence.
Stocks bounced back from their worst week ever with one of their best performances in history as investors cheered a global cash infusion designed to unthaw the credit market and avoid a global meltdown. The Dow gained more than 900 points, its biggest one-day point gain ever.
Stocks bounced back from their worst week ever as investors cheered a series of measures and cash injections by governments and central banks designed to prop up the banking sector and avoid a global meltdown. The Dow was up nearly 500 points, or more than 5.5 percent.
The sport that makes its money off the well-heeled will go the way of the people who they market to. Yes, the PGA Tour recently signed Citi as a sponsor of the Presidents Cup, but Wachovia's golf tournament will now be in the hands of Wells Fargo.
Stocks rallied at the opening bell Monday following a series of measures and cash injections by governments and central banks designed to prop up the banking sector and avoid a global meltdown. The Dow was up about 400 points, or 5 percent, within the first few minutes of trading.
Wall Street looked set to rally Monday following a series of measures and cash injections by governments and central banks designed to prop up the banking sector and avoid a global meltdown.
Stocks will take their cue from credit markets in the week ahead and whether they are responding to any of the government's efforts to thaw the glacial credit freeze.
The Mad Money host lays out his strategy to get this economy and market back on track.
After trading in a 1,000-point range for the first time ever, stocks ended the day with a whimper, closing slightly lower amid hopes that the holiday weekend could bring good news.
Wall Street tried to fight its way back from a precipitous opening drop, with volatility promising to cause violent swings as the market battled to break a seven-day losing streak.
Traders are in agreement on two points: 1) We are not trading on fundamentals. Forced selling is causing many stocks to trade well below fundamental values; 2) traders do not have faith in 2009 earnings projections, which is making it difficult to value stocks.
Citigroup said it's ended negotiations with Wells Fargo in their fight to acquire Wachovia—but Citigroup's effort to grab some assets of Wachovia may not be over just yet.
Stocks fell for a seventh straight session on Thursday as investors worried recent moves by authorities worldwide to thaw frozen credit markets might not be enough.
The US Treasury's plan to inject cash directly into banks may be more effective in battling the credit freeze than having the government buy the banks' troubled mortgage debt ... provided the right banks get the cash.
Stocks opened aggressively higher Thursday as Wall Street sought to break a dismal six-day losing streak.

An upcoming version of Silverlight, named Silverlight 3, will be able to play high-definition videos used in Flash and music in iTunes' AAC format. The version add to the variety of streamed HD video and high-fidelity music that broadcasters are expected to bring online.
Silverlight 3 won't be able to play .flv or .swf content. An early preview of Silverlight 3 will be shown at the International Broadcasting Conference (IBC) 2008 in Amsterdam this week.
Scott Guthrie, Vice President, Microsoft .NET Developer Division, said, "At IBC 2008 we will be demonstrating a technology preview of H.264 video and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio playback support in Silverlight, and H.264 authoring using Microsoft Expression Encoder and Windows Server 2008 for delivery. Until now, Silverlight has supported the SMPTE VC-1 and Windows Media formats, as well as MP3 for audio, enabling customers to take advantage of broad support across the Windows Media ecosystem, including third-party tools, service providers and content delivery networks."
According to published press reports, Silverlight 3 is expected to ship early next calendar year. A beta of Silverlight 3 is expected soon after Silverlight 2 ships this fall.
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. By using Expression Studio and Visual Studio, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to light up the Web of tomorrow.
Just so you know, Flash video is actually an FLV file. Flash and other video delivery technologies can play H.264 video, but saying that Silverlight will be able to play Flash video is completely false.
Lee Brimelow - Adobe
Thanks for your comments Lee. I've updated the entry to refer to the format. Silverlight 3 announcements won't support playing .flv files as Lee mentions.
To clarify a bit on whats been said, this does mean Silverlight will be able to play Flash's highest quality video format. That video format (introduced in Flash MovieStar) is MP4 H.264/AAC. So that means you could stream say, hi-quality youtube videos.

Lol you make me feel like a young student stumped before his teacher in the middle of the classroom, Nei !
Haha but you're right seems I'm not pretty learned on this one... : thanks for the info
Haha but you're right seems I'm not pretty learned on this one... : thanks for the info
they're pretty new compared to some companies i dont blame you, part of the job i love is getting to expose people to their wonderful books!
gorgeous lines! and i love the eyes and lips the most!
Would coloring this piece have been more difficult if you used more value? Just curios because I see a larger range of value in the finished piece than here.
there was more value in the colors then the posted version, initially. but it changed her face a lot from this and i wanted to keep it most like this. its definitely better i think to add most of the values in the colors than on the pencil.
I can definatley see that. One of the rules I always loved was on a woman less is more. It is too easy to go over board with detail and value. I completly agree with you.
Great linework!
I always get so excited to see your pencils.... These are gorgeous as always, your ability to capture different textures through minimal lines is just so aesthetically pleasing >.<
Beautiful work!

Pakistan's Daunting—and Deteriorating—Demographic Challenge›Guest Contributor // April 29, 2009 // By Tod Preston
Every day it seems the headlines bring new worries about the future of Pakistan. But among the many challenges confronting the nation—including a growing Taliban insurgency—one significant problem remains largely undiscussed: its rapidly expanding population.
Consider this: Pakistan's population nearly quadrupled from 50 million in 1960 to 180 million today. It's expected to add another 66 million people—nearly the entire population of Iran—in the next 15 years. UN projections predict that by the late 2030s, Pakistan will become the fourth most populous country in the world, behind India, China, and the United States.
And believe it or not, the demographic outlook for Pakistan got bleaker in recent weeks. The new medium-range UN projections for Pakistan's total population have been raised to 335 million for 2050—45 million higher than the UN projection just two years ago. Why the change? Because birth rates aren't falling as had been predicted—women in Pakistan have an average of four children—and unmet need for family planning remains high.
The case of education provides a snapshot of how these demographics affect Pakistan, from basic quality-of-life issues to the country's overall stability. Even though the official literacy rate in Pakistan has increased from about 18 percent to 50 percent since 1970, the number of illiterate people has simultaneously jumped from 28 million to 48 million. The literacy rate for women stands at a shockingly low 35 percent.
As public schools have become increasingly overcrowded, more parents have turned to madrasas in an attempt to educate their children—or at least their sons. It's no secret that some of Pakistan's madrasas have ties to radical religious and terrorist-affiliated organizations.
So what does this portend for the future?
Even assuming large infusions of assistance from the United States, Pakistan's public school system will become even more overwhelmed in the years ahead. Building enough schools and hiring enough teachers would be daunting in any country, let alone one facing as many challenges as Pakistan. It seems likely that enrollments in madrasas will swell, and more children will face a future with no schooling whatsoever. Clearly, this is not a recipe for a more stable and peaceful Pakistan.
Pakistan's rapid population growth is not inevitable, however. A key driver is lack of access to family planning, which is symptomatic of the overall poor status of women and girls. More than 25 percent of Pakistani women have an unmet need for family planning—meaning the demand is clearly there—and nothing in the Koran prohibits its usage. In other majority-Muslim nations, such as Algeria, Bangladesh, and Iran, family planning has been prioritized and is widely used.
Unfortunately, family planning programs in Pakistan and many developing countries have suffered from both inattention and funding cuts in recent years. Traditionally, the United States has been a major source of funding and technical assistance, but since 1995, U.S. international family planning assistance has fallen 35 percent (adjusted for inflation), even as demand has increased.
Today, more than 200 million women—many of them in the most impoverished parts of the world—have an unmet need for family planning. In countries like Pakistan, the resulting rapid population growth makes it increasingly difficult to provide sufficient education, health care, housing, and employment—and depletes land, water, fisheries, and other vital natural resources.
The Obama administration recently proposed a new U.S. assistance strategy for Pakistan—and a key component is a significant increase in development and economic assistance. Let's hope it will include an increase for family planning. It would be a wise investment in a brighter, more stable future—for Pakistan and for the world.

Swine Flu Not Out of the Blue for U.S. Intelligence Community›April 27, 2009 // By Rachel Weisshaar
Today, the Washington Post's Ben Pershing called the outbreak of swine flu in North America an "unexpected challenge" for President Obama. Now, Obama's advisers probably didn't predict that his first 100 days in office would include this particular threat, but the U.S. intelligence community has been aware of the security threats posed by infectious diseases for a long time.
Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair's annual threat assessment, presented to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in February 2009, included the following:
"Highly publicized virulent infectious diseases—including HIV/AIDS, a potential influenza pandemic, and 'mystery' illnesses such as the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—remain the most direct health-related threats to the United States. The most pressing transnational health challenge for the United States is still the potential for emergence of a severe pandemic, with the primary candidate being a highly lethal influenza virus."
The U.S. intelligence community did not just start thinking about these issues a few months ago. In 2000, the Environmental Change and Security Program hosted a presentation of the findings of a National Intelligence Estimate entitled The Global Infectious Disease Threat and Its Implications for the United States. In December 2008, the National Intelligence Council released Strategic Implications for Global Health, which built on the 2000 report but also explored non-infectious health issues like maternal mortality, malnutrition, and chronic disease.
The current swine flu outbreak has several geopolitical implications. First, governments and international organizations (particularly the World Health Organization) will be perceived as more or less legitimate based on their ability to contain and treat the disease.
Second, governments' decisions to issue travel warnings or ban certain products coming from affected countries are made with an eye toward both political and health implications. For instance, after the European Union issued an advisory against traveling to the United States, the acting director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention struck back, saying it was unwarranted.
Finally, this outbreak of swine flu won't do anything to burnish Mexico's image as a tourist destination, which has already suffered from the brutal drug violence of the last year. Lagging economic growth in Mexico, due to fewer tourists and the fallout from the global financial crisis, could help fuel unrest or increase immigration to the United States.

Weekly Reading›Reading Radar // April 24, 2009 // By Wilson Center StaffThe authors of Asia's Next Challenge: Securing the Region's Water Future, a report by the Asia Society, argue that population growth, urbanization, and climate change are converging to make water an important security issue in Asia. The authors argue for including water in policy and development discussions, but warn against "securitizing" the issue.
China's population is rapidly aging while the country is still developing and modernizing, explains China's Long March to Retirement Reform: The Graying of the Middle Kingdom Revisited, a report by the Global Aging Initiative of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The report recommends steps to ensure that China's aging citizens are not left without a safety net. Another report by CSIS's Global Aging Initiative, Latin America's Aging Challenge: Demographics and Retirement Policy in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, argues that these countries have a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity to prepare to meet the needs of their aging populations.
According to a study published in the British Journal of Zoology, wild populations of major grazing animals—including giraffes, impala, and wildebeest—in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve decreased significantly from 1989-2003. "Researchers found the growing human population has diminished the wild animal population by usurping wildlife grazing territory for crop and livestock production to support their families," reports the International Livestock Research Institute.

Environmental Cooperation Could Boost U.S.-Chinese Military Engagement, Says ECSP Director Dabelko›April 23, 2009 // By Wilson Center Staff"Recently, the Defense Department warned that lack of Chinese transparency and dialogue between the Chinese and US militaries could lead to dangerous miscalculations on both sides. The tense confrontation between a US Naval survey vessel and five Chinese ships in the South China Sea in March echoed the rather serious 2001 Hainan Island incident, which was characterized by mutual suspicion and public acrimony. That event affected US-China relations for years.
To avoid further incidents, the Defense Department desires 'deeper, broader, more high-level contacts with the Chinese,' said Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell. The White House issued a statement stressing the 'importance of raising the level and frequency of the US-China military-to-military dialogue,' and President Obama quickly laid the groundwork by meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao in London and agreeing to work to improve military-to-military relations.
One such way to begin military dialogue between the United States and China is by using environmental issues.
Environmental collaboration is unlikely to hit politically sensitive buttons, and thus offers great potential to deepen dialogue and cooperation. Military-to-military dialogue can facilitate the sharing of best practices on a range of environmental security issues."

Food, Water, Energy, Timber, Population: Do Madagascar's Forests Stand a Chance?›April 22, 2009 // By Kayly Ober
A graphic published recently in Le Monde reveals that companies from South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the top purchasers of foreign farmland. These corporations from water-strapped, land-starved, and/or densely populated countries often make bargain-basement deals with unsavory African and Asian governments—or even warlords—to increase their own profits and their home nations' food security.
A case in point: The International Criminal Court's indictment of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for human-rights abuses has not deterred Saudi Arabia's Hail Agricultural Development Co. from developing 9,200 hectares of land in Sudan or the UAE from investing in agricultural projects in several Sudanese provinces, including a 17,000-hectare farm for wheat and corn.
As previous New Security Beat posts have pointed out, allowing foreign governments to purchase land could threaten food security within the host country, and around the world. The heads of the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Fund for Agricultural Development raised eyebrows last weekend when they suggested that these deals could be "win-win" situations, if done right.
These business ventures can also have serious political consequences: Several months ago, seeing an opportunity to capitalize on increasing population growth and limited arable land in its homeland, South Korean conglomerate Daewoo signed a deal to buy more than half of the arable land in Madagascar to grow grain and palm oil. Widespread anger at the terms of the deal—from which the island's people would gain little—contributed to then-President Marc Ravalomanana's unpopularity. After weeks of riots, Ravalomanana was ousted by Andry Rajoelina, who immediately axed the deal. "In the constitution, it is stipulated that Madagascar's land is neither for sale nor for rent, so the agreement with Daewoo is cancelled," Rajoelina told BBC News.
Yet although Rajoelina's actions may seem to have preserved Madagascar's land for its people, the coup he launched has spurred unprecedented destruction of this land, in the form of deforestation. The breakdown of authority that accompanied the coup spread into Madagascar's protected areas, where groups of thugs have been illegally felling valuable trees at a rapid rate since the coup. This environmental destruction is particularly tragic for a country like Madagascar, which possesses some of the richest biodiversity on the planet and relies heavily on ecotourism for jobs and economic growth.
Next month, a Wilson Center event will explore some of the motivations, patterns, and implications of this rush for farmland. Five Wilson Center programs are co-sponsoring this event—demonstrating the global, cross-sectoral implications of this issue.

Climate Change and "Developed-Country Complacency Syndrome"›Guest Contributor // April 17, 2009 // By Cleo Paskal
While it is now widely acknowledged that environmental change, including climate change, could severely undermine security in the developing world, the implications for the developed world are just starting to be discussed. A sort of "developed-country complacency syndrome" has led many to assume that the main security problems for a country like the United States, such as waves of refugees or the need to intervene when other nations face disasters or conflicts, would be imported from abroad. Unfortunately, the United States is likely to face some fairly severe "Made in the USA" problems, as well.
For instance, as the economic stimulus package is rolled out, the United States is entering a historic period of new infrastructure construction. From a security perspective, this could help maintain stability, or it could be a disaster. What might make the difference is assessing how potential sites could be affected by environmental change. Transportation systems, defensive capabilities, agriculture, power generation, water supply, and more are all designed for the specific parameters of their physical environments—or, more often, the physical environments of the Victorian, Depression-era, or post-WWII periods in which they were originally built. That is why unplanned environmental change almost always has negative impacts.
In the case of a change in precipitation patterns, for example, drainage systems, reservoirs, and hydrological installations can all fail not because they were poorly engineered, but because they were engineered for different conditions. We are literally not designed for environmental change.
Current environmental impact assessments look almost exclusively at a structure's impact on the environment. These assessments must now be expanded to include the other half of the equation: the impact of a changing environment on the structure. These sorts of "dual" assessments are essential. To put it bluntly, there is no point in building a zero-emissions house in a current or soon-to-be flood zone. However, this is exactly the sort of thing that is being proposed in areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast. We can avoid this by requiring these "dual" assessments when applying for insurance, planning permission, and/or government support.
Just as physical infrastructure is poorly prepared to deal with environmental change, so, too, is legal infrastructure. Very few regulations, international laws, and subsidies incorporate the effects of environmental change. At best, this renders them inadequate; at worst, it can create new vulnerabilities.
For instance, the U.S. government's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) can inadvertently contribute to putting people and infrastructure in harm's way. When private insurers deem areas too risky to be eligible for coverage, the NFIP can step in and insure them, making it possible to build in areas that are current flood zones, as well as areas that may become ones as climate change causes sea levels to rise and storm surges to increase. Already in some areas the same homes have had to be rebuilt multiple times, in part with cash infusions from the NFIP.
There are other examples of developed-world agreements that may cause more damage than they prevent:
- Water-sharing agreements, especially those based on a set amount of water, rather than percentage of actual flow, will become problematic as water levels alter dramatically.
- Fisheries-sharing agreements will be thrown into chaos as fish shift to other regions due to climate change and overfishing.
- Hydropower-sharing agreements will be a major problem, both for precipitation-fed systems and glacier regions, where there will be above-average flows as the glaciers melt, followed by droughts once the glaciers disappear.
Two of the things the developed world prides itself on—its physical and legal infrastructures—are both highly vulnerable to environmental change. However, the stimulus packages and the reassessment of global, regional, and national agreements caused by the financial crisis offer a valuable opportunity to ensure that the structures and mechanisms we are counting on to maintain our security do not end up undermining it.

China Eyes Expansion of Electric Cars, With Global Implications for Energy, Climate, Health›April 16, 2009 // By Linden EllisLast Friday, China announced plans to become the world's largest producer of electric cars. The Chinese government will invest $1.46 billion in consumer subsidies for electric cars, just as Washington is plowing $25 billion into flagging Detroit automakers. With doubts looming about China's enthusiasm for the tough upcoming Copenhagen climate negotiations, and with China set to displace the United States as the country with the largest auto fleet by 2025, this commitment to electric cars has vast implications for climate change, energy, and global geopolitics.
China is already the third-largest car producer and the second-largest car market in the world. If China could electrify its entire auto fleet by 2020, it could cut annual oil consumption by 130 million tons, reducing dependence on foreign oil by 20-30 percent more than if it were to adopt high-efficiency combustion vehicles. This would go a long way toward easing global competition for oil. It would also effectively eliminate the number-one source of air pollution in major Chinese cities, relieving a huge environmental health burden. Reports indicate that residents of at least 400 Chinese cities will face significant health hazards—including brain damage, respiratory problems and infections, lung cancer, and emphysema—from airborne sulfur by 2010 if auto pollution is not brought under control.
As these subsidies and other policies (including next year's nation-wide adoption of EURO IV emissions standards) demonstrate, the Chinese government is committed to reducing cars' impact in China, and the country is poised to be a global leader in electric cars. China's battery-company-turned-automaker BYD (which Warren Buffet is apparently investing in) will release the first zero-emission vehicle, the F3e, in late 2009. The plug-in, dual-fuel F3 was the top-selling car in China last year, selling for $22,000. In a report released last month, McKinsey & Company found electric vehicles the best option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from China's transportation sector. China's low labor costs, fast-growing auto market, and successful battery manufacturers make it a candidate for world leadership in electric-vehicle production, especially as no clear leader already exists.
The greatest obstacles to electric vehicles taking off in China are the costs—both to the government and the consumer—and the current lack of support infrastructure, including battery-charging and replacement stations. Installing support infrastructure could cost 5–10 billion RMB by 2020, not to mention the costs of further research and development to improve the safety and speed of batteries and cars, as well as the cost of consumer subsidies.
However, the China Environment Forum reports that many new car owners in China display a surprising indifference to the price of a prospective vehicle, preferring to save longer in order to afford a better car rather than settling for the first car they can afford or buying a used car. An interesting cost-effective alternative is the electric bike, which China vehicle emissions expert Vance Wagner notes "should be given high priority as an urban sustainable transportation solution [as they] provide much greater urban mobility than buses, with comparable environmental impact."
Further research on the health and environmental impacts of electric vehicles is needed before large-scale adoption. There are many concerns, for example, about how to safely recycle car batteries without causing lead pollution. Additionally, having cars run on electricity will reduce air pollution, but will also place a huge burden on China's already-strained power sector, which experiences energy shortfalls every year. Making the entire vehicle fleet dependent on the power sector would require a major expansion of regulatory and generating capacity. It could also raise questions of environmental justice, as rural communities with little access to health care—but in close proximity to coal-fired power plants, from which China derives 80 percent of its electricity—would bear the pollution burden of city driving. Although most experts and officials agree that electrifying China's vehicle fleet is the best option in terms of environmental health, energy security, and climate change, additional research into the cumulative impacts of electric vehicles is necessary.

MEMORANDUM FOR: MICHAEL G. CONNORS REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR THROUGH: LEO CAREY, DIRECTOR OFFICE OF FIELD PROGRAMS FROM: PATRICIA K. CLARK, DIRECTOR DIRECTORATE OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS SUBJECT: Request for Revision of OSHA Instruction STD 1-11.5This is in response to your memorandum of January 12 requesting a revision of STD 1-11.5. Please accept my apology for the delay in our written response. That directive has been reviewed and we agree that it needs revision as a result of changes to the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR Part 390, et seq.) published in the Federal Register, May 19, 1988.
DOT's new regulations affect the background section 3, paragraphs "c" and "d" of STD 1-11.5. The Action paragraph was not affected. As to paragraph "c", DOT has redefined the term "commercial motor vehicle"; this new definition will be our guide for enforcement.
In essence, DOT Regulations extend to any employer who owns or leases a "commercial motor vehicle" or assigns employees to operate it. 49 CFR 390.3(a)9 and 390.5. A "commercial motor vehicle" is defined as any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on public highways in interstate commerce:
a. to transport passengers or property;
b. when the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds;
c. or the vehicle is designed to transport more than fifteen passengers, including the driver;
d. the vehicle is used in the transportation of hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding under regulations issued by DOT regulation 49 CFR 390.5.
The change in the DOT regulations also did away with the need for paragraph "d" of the background section of the STD.
The enforcement policy contained in STD 1-11.5 will remain unchanged.
Until the Instruction is revised, this memo will serve as your guidance for
enforcement activities.

Ortiz, Red Sox claim emotional win
|Boston Red Sox's David Ortiz speaks to the crowd before a baseball against the Kansas City Royals in Boston, Saturday, April 20, 2013. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)
BOSTON — David Ortiz has been in the middle of some of Fenway Park's greatest moments. None of them seemed more important to "Big Papi" than his role in one Saturday afternoon.
Ortiz helped the Red Sox honor the victims and the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings then played in his first game since last summer, a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals capped by Daniel Nava's three-run homer in the eighth inning.
"I try to take the positive side of things and ride with it," Ortiz said, sitting at a table in an interview room. "But I wanted to win this game badly."
The Red Sox wore white home jerseys with "Boston" on the front instead of the customary "Red Sox." The shirts will be auctioned off for a fund to support victims of the bombings.
Kansas City players and staff wore a "B Strong" patch on the front of their jerseys. Neil Diamond sang Red Sox favorite "Sweet Caroline" before the bottom of the eighth.
"I think today was different because we haven't been through what we've been through this past week," Ortiz said. "Driving around and looking around at people's faces, it was a very emotional day here just looking at those guys that were injured by those bombs going off and watching the news nearly every day, it was painful, very painful. Today I could see people opening their chest and letting it go."
The 37-year-old Ortiz injured his right Achilles tendon running the bases on July 17 and appeared just once in Boston's final 72 games, against the Royals on Aug. 24.
Ortiz was bothered by inflammation in both heels during spring training and didn't play in any exhibition games. He was 2 for 4 in his return, tying the score 1-all with a sixth-inning RBI single off James Shields.
Following the emotional pregame ceremony, the Red Sox won their sixth straight game — four since Monday's bombings at the marathon finish line.
"Knowing everything that went into the day for the city, for us to get the win, it came in a special way, special fashion," Nava said. "It made it all that more important."
Clay Buchholz (4-0) allowed eight hits in eight innings, struck out six and walked one. Andrew Bailey allowed Lorenzo Cain's leadoff homer over the Green Monster in the ninth, his fourth hit of the game, then got his third save when Alex Gordon hit a game-ending groundout with two on.
Cain went 4 for 4 with the solo homer, but it wasn't enough to slow down the hot Red Sox.
"Just a fantastic finish to an otherwise great day," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
Cain even was moved by the pregame.
"It was electric, man," Cain said of the ceremony. "To go through that and see everybody getting into it and what this city went through, just to be a part of it was amazing."
Shields gave up one run and four hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and three walks.
Buchholz extended his scoreless streak to 22 innings before Cain doubled in the fifth and scored on Jeff Francoeur's single.
Cain doubled leading off the seventh and scored on Salvador Perez's two-out RBI triple for a 2-1 lead. But Jonny Gomes doubled against Tim Collins starting the eighth and Dustin Pedroia walked. After Ortiz grounded into a double play, Kelvin Herrera (1-2) walked Mike Napoli on four pitches and Nava homered to right.
Herrera said it was a poorly thrown change up.
"I left in the middle," he said. "I paid the price."
NOTES: Cain is 11 for his last 16. ... Shields entered just 2-9 with a 5.86 ERA in his career in Fenway. ... Boston OF Shane Victorino left the game with lower back tightness. Farrell said he "twisted a little awkwardly trying to lay down a bunt." He'll be reevaluated (Sunday) morning. ... Boston's starters have allowed three or fewer runs in all 16 games this season.

Picture: Sir Elton John and David Furnish arrive at the Premiere of 'Billy Elliott the Musical' at the Capitol Theatre Sydney, Australia - 13.12.07
Despite the night belonging to the birthday boy, newlywed LIZ HURLEY turned up to Elton John's 60th bash dressed in a white wedding-like dress, seemingly unable to stop celebrating her own wedding.
The stunning model, 41, joined husband ARUN NAYAR and dozens of other top stars in the glitzy do at a New York cathedral to honour The Music legend.
Alongside Liz and Arun there were some true stars such as Robin Williams, John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and Pierce Brosnan, as well as some celebrities further down the list including Sharon Osbourne, James Blunt and Lulu.
Even Bill Clinton made an appearance with a speech in front of 20,000 fans at Madison Square Garden, where the ROCKET MAN singer rocked for a record-breaking 60th time.
Elton's partner David Furnish joined him on stage to pay tribute to the late JOHN LENNON, who performed with Elton in 1980 just a month before he was murdered outside the Dakota building.

The poorest children around the world don't have running water or a toothbrush and toothpaste. At Compassion centers, many of these children receive dental checkups and toothbrushes and toothpaste they can use at their centers.
Many children don't get enough to eat at home and are underweight. At Compassion centers, children eat healthful meals and receive regular health checkups where they are weighed to make sure they are growing properly.
While most kids in the U.S. are immunized, it is less common in the developing world. Immunizations can save as many as 3 million children's lives each year. Many children are immunized at Compassion centers, like these kids in Togo, West Africa.
In fiscal year 2015, 81.8% of Compassion's expenses went directly to program activities helping children in our programs. This is one of the highest percentages for a child sponsorship organization.
