Forsaken Warlock by mujuWatch

oh noes another wow art
Daily DeviationGiven 2008-03-28
Forsaken Warlock by ~muju : "The detail and care he puts in each image is simply mind-blowing, as well as his amazing skills for design and ideas. I could continue embellishing his art, but I think one has to see it to come to one's own opinions." ( Suggested by Sir-Pumpkinhead and Featured by aunjuli )
So great! Now if blizz would allow a human head as an offhand (stares at khadgar)
Stunning. I really love the touch of chains in her dress. It makes her look more badass
i love the detail in your artworks! amazing
Yay! Awesoma details <3 undead ftw.
The detail is beautiful, yet not too distracting.
Traditional or digital?

i think the detail is amazing and the picture fully captures the attitude of the forsaken
This must have taken alot.
Other people have mentioned this, but: The night elf female she's grasping by the hair really makes the pic. I keep finding little details I love. The pile of bones beneath miss 'lock, for example. Absolutely wonderful.
This is incredible. Your detailing is amazing, and I love the additions you make to the armor...I've played for a while now and have never seen anything like this, but it's awesome regardless. It'd be positively wicked to find cloth armor like this. I've been browsing your other WoW fanart, and I really like those too...your blood elves are great. ^_^
By the way, the night elf head she's holding makes me rather happy.

This is extremely good, I'd highly recommend coloring this for fun to see what it'd look like, the quality is awesome. Why'd you pick the Succubus though? Just curious as they aren't the most popular summon among locks.
I think the victim should've been a Human female rather than a Night Elf since the Forsaken hate the human race with a passion and don't really give a damn about Night Elves. But awesome picture
Again, great artwork! You blow my WoW art outta the park!
You are amazing! X.x *bows*

A city in the middle of nowhere, being surrounded by millions of tons of desert sand and directly at the shore of the Atlantic. A city that braving the elements preserves the architectonic heritage of the Wilhelmine era and standing for world-class oysters. All that is Lüderitz, located at the ocean on Namibia's west coast »»
Singapore – Interface of Southeast Asia
Singapore sits at the seam of Southeast Asian mainland and the island world of Indonesia. With 5.5 million people living on ~700km² it is not only one of the smallest but also most densely populated city states in the world. Since ever the metropolis was a point of commerce, known to Arabs, Indians, Chinese and of course Malayans. That ethnic mix as well as its compact development coin a cityscape that boasts of historic-religious important Hindu and Buddha temples as well as with fully automated metros, an almost clinically clean appearance and a luxury glass steel architecture that culminates in Marina Bay Sands and its Infinity Pool »»
Auschwitz – Humans' darkest Side

Pub Crawl Namibia
In northern Namibia, between the giant Etosha salt pan and the border to Angola, countless bars and taverns shake hands along the roads connecting Oshakati, Oshikuku and Outapi. Most of them are a product of modern time, but some are a witness of a time period when former German South-West Africa struggled for independence as they served thousands of soldiers with booze and fun during South African Border War »»
Lisbon – Tramways and Seafood
To document the network of the Metropolitano de Lisboa as a part of my photo project I made it back to the capital of Portugal. Funnily enough I booked the flight exactly for the same weekend of September like I did 8 years ago, when I put my feet in Lisbon ground for the first time. Eight years is a good period allowing to compare things and recognise developments as well as changes. The gem at the banks of Tajo River is still a jewel that's captivating its visitors with a very own charm, a mix of old and new, with historic tramways, a lovely old town as well as stunning modern architecture at Parque das Nações, that is home of worldwide unique Oceanario aquarium »»
Epupa Falls and Kunene – The Land of the Himba
Where Kunene River plunges some 40 metres down at the Epupa Falls and where it gently fondles southern Angola, there begins the land of the Himba tribe.

A hot Night in Hukuntsi… Stories from Kalahari Desert
Magic Kalahari, a land of contrasts – up in the north, where Okavango River seeps away, it can be as green and lush as it can be red brown and dry in the south.

Due to game reserves and national parks humans are allowed to scratch at the surface to something that is a worldwide exceptional refuge for flora and fauna, for the smallest as well as for big cats. »»
1986 – The nuclear Hell of Chernobyl and the Fox of Pripyat Ghost Town
Pripyat ghost town is situated in northern Ukraine, where the country borders with Belorussia. In 1986 there, only some 120km away from the capital Kiev, an epic catastrophe happened when the nuclear core of reactor 4 of nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted and caused an explosion. The detonation contaminated the proximity poisoning it for thousands of years. Also it catapulted radioactive material into the atmosphere where it formed a travelling cloud that polluted Europe making the name of small village of Chernobyl being on everyone's lips, worldwide. The accident was that tremendous that the MCA was promoted to become ultimate. It didn't remain the only accident of its kind though »»
Taupō – Volcanic Zone and Identity Giver for the Maōri
Volcanism created New Zealand and even today the force emerging from the Earth's inside is omnipresent on those islands in the South Pacific Ocean no matter if as earthquakes in the south or in the shape of real fire mountains on the north island. Like a belt the appearances of Taupō Volcanic Zone lead through the whole country, starting with offshore volcano White Island, the geothermally active area of colourful Wai-O-Tapu near Rotorua, right through to Lake Taupo super volcano and the fire mountains Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu to end at Mount Taranaki. For the Maōri, New Zealand's natives, the force emerging from the Earth's inside is highly divine. About that, their own identity, the role of James Cook as well as the white man I got into a conversation with the Maōri before I became guardian angel up on Tongariro volcano complex »»
Salt with Pepper – The underground Chapel of Wieliczka
The South Polish town of Wieliczka hosts a very special UNESCO World Heritage: one of the oldest salt mines on our planet hosting the world's largest underground chapel.

I have medium or light-medium, olive toned skin (NC35) and this is a really wearable orangey-coral shade on me. It's not quite a statement orange lip color, which I like--it's definitely bright, but it's a good every day color, and doesn't necessitate toning down your other makeup. Definitely a good spring color! I actually had to apply a lot to get enough color, so if you've got a darker skin tone and are looking for a bright orange, you'll want something a bit more pigmented. (Note: I can see this being too bright to wear every day if you have lighter skin--it would be a great spring/summer alternative to red lipstick.) This is probably my favorite of the three shades I've tried from this line.
As for the product itself--I really, really like these balm stains, probably more than I like Revlon's lip butters. They're really hard and waxy so they apply like a tube of lip balm (you don't even need to look in the mirror!) I love the chubby crayon packaging--makes for easy application, plus it fits nicely in any size purse or makeup bag. They are a bit drying, so keep lips exfoliated and moisturized before using. This color might look a bit intimidating in the package, but I think it's definitely worth trying.

Great lip stain, I love orangey lips on me so I pat on some foundation on my lips to wash out the natural lip color when I'm putting on foundation on my face and then apply this, its a really pretty orange on nude lips, and a coral/pinkish orange on bare lips without any foundation on. I also love the minty smell, and there's so much product that I don't think I'll ever finish this! i love this so much that it made me want to buy more of these lip stains. love love this

On me, unlike the photos posted Rendezvous looked like an overripe tangelo...way too orange! Not as orange as the tube hue, but close. The lip drying Peppermint oil was as annoying as this color.

I'm getting into bolder lips and thought I'd give this a try. With my chocolate brown complexion, I absolutely love this orange color.
Rendezvous doesn't look coral or pink on me - looks tangerine with a hint of shimmer. The texture is a little odd - creamy, but waxy and semi-sheer. I have to layer and blot and press a bit to get the right finish. not bad although it settled into the lines a bit. Has a slight minty smell at first. I was surprised at how much stain it actually left.
I like alone it and I love it topped with Nars Wonder. Bright and bold without being clownish. Its pigmented enough to work on my browner upper lip and pinker bottom lip. It is definitely a summer look, but I'm going to rock this warm glowy look in December anyway.

Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium

I got this as a gift, and I quite like it. It is quite glossy and moisturizing. The color and texture reminds me of the Tutti Frutti lip butter but more on the pinkish than orange side. It is very easy to use, would definitely try this out in other colors. :)

Love the orangey colour, since I bought this online it has become a staple...can add over concealer to make it lighter for everyday as was a little darker than I expected. It's a great every day shade that goes really well with blonde hair or dark brunette hair. I find that it compliments tanned skin so I won't really be using it this winter, I'll stick to something a little more on the pink side. I don't really understand how it's a stain though..despite the long lasting colour, it goes on more of a balm and I kind of expected more of a sheen.

What a disappointment, expected it to be like lip stain with a bit of moisture, but more like crayon in every way. Went on waxy and uneven. Not much moisture. Eh.

Dave Kallmann offers news, notes and perspective on the wide world of auto racing
Future of the Mile
I asked State Fair Park executive director Rick Frenette this week what his feeling was about the long-term outlook for the Milwaukee Mile.
You can argue its significance because of its history. You can argue about its suitability for various types of racing. You can argue about why it hasn't been supported to the level its supporters think it should.
But you can't reasonably argue that the track has been used enough lately to justify the amount of space it takes up for the amount of revenue it generates.
"It changes faster than I can keep up with it," Frenettte said of the sport's landscape. "Would we love to have more? Yes. The hard part with us is with the uncertainty of something being there forever and being positive because you watch the (IndyCar) schedule go out this year and they changed a number of tracks.
"If we ever got some more certainty. . . . Right now we're not spending a lot of capital improvement dollars on the track either because we're not going to put money into something that won't pay me back."
The track has the ASA Midwest Tour's Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 stock-car race scheduled for June 12, and park officials have been in discussions with IndyCar about a possible return for Father's Day weekend.
"There's part of that discussion with IRL right now is that, is there a possibility beyond one year? Or are we again saying, let's see if the fans show up?" Frenette said. "We're trying to figure this into the negotiation too because we'd like to have some commitment and like to know that people would support for the long term and then we could spend some money to keep the track up to par so that we have an opportunity to get some of these bigger races . . . NASCAR coming back or something in the future, because there's less improvements that need to be done. It's a hundred years old."
It's important to remember that the business of State Fair Park only includes racing; that's not its primary purpose. It's a big place used throughout the year by a variety of groups for all sorts of things. And even if the park were all about racing, it'd still be tricky for a mid-sized racetrack to attract and promote enough of the right events to be successful. (See Gateway, Memphis and Nashville as examples.)
"We hope we can get (IndyCar) back and hope we can have a successful event, a little better than last year, that they will continue to come back and it keeps the Milwaukee Mile (with) some activity," Frenette said. "There's not much else out there except NASCAR opportunities and some ASA stuff. But we still use the track as best we can with tire testing, some other events, and will continue to do that with what our opportunities are.
"Right now the track's there, the drivers are excited about using the track, so I hope we can get the deal done and I hope that if it does happen the fans are better support than they were last year. I'm not quite sure why the numbers were that last year, but I was sitting in the stands."
… Speaking of which, there are about 800 fewer than there had been. Some temporary bleachers from the north end of the track were sold, Frenette said, although people shouldn't necessarily read that as a signal of the Mile's imminent demise, Frenette said.
"We're not going to do 40,000 people here so we have about 800 seats less," said Frenette, who described them as "horrible" for spectators. "There were some opportunities that we needed to have that out for us to do some things at Fair time and some other events that open up that entrance to the Fair there. We didn't really effect our racing seating or anything like that."
There are no plans at this point to sell more.
"We just had some other ideas for that and found a buyer and moved on," Frenette said. "It's not going to affect the straightaway seating at the racetrack or anything like that. It was on the far end in the fourth turn. Everything else is still there. We can still seat 38,000-something, and I'd like to fill it up."

The following are
22 facts
about California that make you wonder why anyone would still want to live in that hellhole of a state
#1 The California state government is facing a potential state budget deficit of 19 billion dollars this year, and California debt is rapidly approaching junk status. One way or another the taxpayers of California are going to have to pay for this mess somehow.
#2 California Governor Jerry Brown recently unveiled a "draconian" budget plan for 2011 that includes 12 billion dollars more in spending cuts and that maintains 12 billion dollars in recent tax increases.
#3 The state of California currently has the third highest state income tax in the nation: a 9.55% tax bracket at $47,055 and a 10.55% bracket at $1,000,000.
#4 California has the highest state sales tax rate in the nation by far at 8.25%. Indiana has the next highest at 7%.
#5 Residents of California pay the highest gasoline taxes (over 67 cents per gallon) in the United States.
#6 California had more foreclosure filings that any other U.S. state in 2010. The 546,669 total foreclosure filings during the year means that over 4 percent of all the housing units in the state of California received a foreclosure filing at some point during 2010.
#7 Home prices in some areas of California have completely fallen off a cliff. For example, the average home in Merced, California has declined in value by 63 percent over the past four years.
#8 725 new laws (most of them either completely pointless or completely stupid) went into effect in the state of California on January 1st.
#9 20 percent of the residents of Los Angeles County are now receiving public aid of one kind or another.
#10 The number of people unemployed in the state of California is approximately equal to the populations of Nevada, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.
#11 In some areas of California, the level of unemployment is absolutely nightmarish. For example, 24.3 percent of the residents of El Centro, California are now unemployed.
#12 Residents of California pay some of the highest electricity prices in the entire nation.
#13 The state of California ranks dead last out of all 50 states in the number of emergency rooms per million people.
#14 According to one survey, approximately 1 out of every 4 Californians under the age of 65 has absolutely no health insurance.
#15 At one point last year it was reported that in the area around Sacramento, California there was one closed business for every six that were still open.
#16 In the late 70s, California was number one in per-pupil spending on education, but now the state has fallen to 48th place.
#17 In one school district in California, children as young as five years old are being forced to watch propaganda films that tout the benefits of "alternative lifestyles", and parents are being told that no "opting out" will be permitted.
#18 The crime rate in the San Diego school system is escalating out of control. The following is what San Diego School Police Chief Don Braun recently told the press about the current situation....
"Violent crime in schools has risen 31 percent. Property crime has risen 12 percent. Weapons violations (have gone up) almost 8 percent."
#19 Oakland, California Police Chief Anthony Batts announced last year that due to severe budget cuts there are a number of crimes that his department will simply not be able to respond to any longer. The crimes that the Oakland police will no longer be responding to include grand theft, burglary, car wrecks, identity theft and vandalism.
#20 Things have gotten so bad in Stockton, California that the police union put up a billboard with the following message: "Welcome to the 2nd most dangerous city in California. Stop laying off cops."
#21 During one recent 23 year period, the state of California built 23 prisons but just one university.
#22 The farther you look into the future, the worse California's financial problems become. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, California's unfunded pension liability is estimated to be somewhere between $120 billion and $500 billion at this point.
So could the state of California actually go bankrupt?...
California will drop off the map but maybe it will be financial (first) instead of the big earthquake.

Two years ago, Marion Barry, former mayor of Washington, D.C., came wobbling into the Renaissance TV studio in the nation's capitol. He was a half-hour late for a local show he was co-hosting called "B & W."
"Do you have the research for this show?" Barry asked a production assistant when he entered the studio. His co-host rolled her eyeballs and stalked away. Barry had not prepared. Again. Barry leaned lazily against a wall as an assistant scrambled to cobble together some talking points.
Fifteen seconds before the cameras rolled, Barry stood in the center of a dark hallway his forehead wrinkled in confusion. He was lost. Again. A production assistant ran down the hall, grabbed him and led him to the set.
The show was a disaster. Every show was a disaster. Barry talked over his co-host, rambled nonsensically, often drifting off into murmurs.
This is the former mayor of the nation's capitol? This is the guy who, as a young up-and-comer, ignited people's souls? This is the guy who somehow managed to get elected even after TV cameras caught a crack pipe dangling from his mouth?
Apparently so. And with good reason. Just ask the people in ward 8 who recently elected Barry to the D.C. City Council. "Barry cares about the people," is their emphatic refrain. Interestingly, the people of ward 8 don't talk about any specific policies that Barry enacted during his prolonged stint as mayor. Nor do they dwell on the fact that Barry oversaw a fiscal irresponsibility so pervasive that it bankrupted the district. These things don't come up because Barry's appeal is emotional and specifically designed to override logic.
In this regard, Barry is one in a longstanding tradition of American politicians who used images to auger - and even supplant - ideas: Teddy Roosevelt, a childhood wimp, shamelessly disseminated phony macho exploits to justify war and solidify his rule over the country; FDR used impressive stage management to portray himself as someone who had overcome polio; JFK hid his nearly debilitating arthritis to project a charming image of youthful vigor; Ronald Reagan, who made no bones about image politics, once quipped, "For years I've heard the question: 'How could an actor be president?' I've sometimes wondered how you could be president and not be an actor." Then there was Clinton, who set a new mark of celebrity politics by appearing on MTV and packing every public event with pop stars and movie celebs. Each of these men used popular image to legitimize their rule. This is inevitable in a democracy, where a politician's job security depends on satisfying the whims - no matter how irrational - of the majority.

My oil pan stripped out tonight while doing a simple oil change. 180º thread segments were coming out with the oil. We couldn't get the drain plug to thread… and when I finally did – that wrench just kept turning and turning and turning and turning.I'm frustrated because I didn't HAVE to change the oil. It was probably fine. I just wanted to make sure the car was in top shape before the event at Turner. No drifting for me this weekend.Ugh.
My buddy Chad Copeland brought his wild Datsun 620 over last night for some assistance putting some war-inspired shark graphics on the truck. It had been a while since I had done any vinyl work, but it was definitely a fun install. Each side was in 3 separate layers, so it took a little while to get it all on there. I feel like I want the eye to be larger, and lower in relation to the mouth, but overall… I think it turned out awesome!For more about Chad's truck… check out his website!
I was digging through some old boxes from my college days, and stumbled across these old flyers. If memory serves me correctly, Antonio Garcia, TJ McCucheon, and myself walked into the Kinko's on 14th empty handed. The goal was to make the flyers with anything available inside the store (without using their computers). These flyers are a result of turning trash cans inside-out, and using paper scraps, scissors, and glue to assemble a completed flyer.I have no idea who made what, but This was definitely a fun exercise, and it yielded some pretty cool workI might have to try this again sometime!
I'm a big documentary guy. I really cannot get enough of them. Most of the time it doesn't even matter what the subject is, I really adore the format, and enjoy (gasp!) learning something in the process. Why I haven't been in-tune with the internets to know more about Vice Magazine's online television network: VBS.tv sooner, I am unsure… BUT – I think I may just be in love.Their guerrilla approach to making some of these documentaries is definitely gloves-off, knee-deep, and in your face. They are doing things, going places, and seeking out answers regarding topics that most major media outlets would never dream of. They offer a fresh, and what I feel to be pretty unbiased view on what they are covering… really aiming to focus on the facts presented to them as they experience these things first-hand.Until recently, Heavy Metal in Baghdad was my only dose of Vice filmmaking… which is an amazing/dangerous look at the only heavy metal band in Iraq, and their struggles to merely exist as a band… let alone play their music. I can't even count how many segments on VBS are equally as great, if not better. To add an element of legitimacy to it all, CNN just partnered up with VBS because they admire their journalism and unique approach to reporting. Not bad for a Brooklyn-based indie-magazine.Some of the more eye-opening segments that I've seen so far include the Vice Guide to Liberia, The Sewers of Bogota, Toxic Garbage Island, Vice Guide to North Korea, and any of the segments from their Middle East Channel. I could easily list ten-fifteen more worthy segments that I have seen so-far, but I will let you explore the site on your own.And to the crew at VBS… if you ever need another cameraman, motion graphics guy, WHATEVERHoller.

The year was 1920. A huge crowd gathered downtown to listen to a loud speaker. The city was Pittsburgh. The reason for the crowd? It was election night. Voters heard over KDKA that the Republicans, after eight years of President Woodrow Wilson, were returned to office with a ticket of Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, and Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts. It was the dawning of the radio era. So few homes had receivers that the only way most people could hear the returns was to assemble downtown. By 1924, the year Coolidge was nominated for President, President Harding having died on a West Coast trip, there was limited broadcasting from the two conventions and much greater coverage of the election itself. Coolidge remarked that he was President in the right era inasmuch as he had a good radio voice.
Prior to the advent of radio voters had to wait for the wire services to report on developments from the States. Sometimes it took days before the results of the Presidential election were clear. Radio changed all of that. Radio was it until giving way to television, after World War II. Some rudimentary television was broadcast at the conventions of 1948, which re-nominated President Harry S. Truman and nominated New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey but it was 1952 before the networks really began to cover the conventions and the elections. I still remember the late Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen (R-IL) pointing his accusatory finger at the Eisenhower delegates, while leaning down from the podium, saying in his mellifluous voice, "Thou shall not steal." Dirksen had accused the Eisenhower campaign of stealing delegates from the Taft campaign by challenging already seated delegates. It was dramatic and conveyed a scene which only television could produce.
Then in 1960 television, in addition to playing its now customary role at the conventions (the three networks all covered the conventions, including the platform debates), televised the Nixon-Kennedy debates. Those who listened by radio thought Nixon had won the debates. Those who watched the debates on television thought, by a landslide, that Kennedy had won. That is because on television viewers saw Nixon's ill-at-ease body language. They also saw Nixon's heavy beard and the perspiration on Nixon's forehead. The radio listeners could not see any of those and upon the basis of audio only believed Nixon had prevailed. Millions more watched television. There were two additional debates but they were watched by far fewer viewers.

The Halkidiki Region
Chalkidiki, also Halkidiki, Chalcidice or Chalkidike (Greek: ?????????, [xalciði?ci]), is a peninsula in northern Greece, and one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Central Macedonia. The autonomous Mount Athos region is part of the peninsula, but not of the regional unit. The capital of Chalkidiki is the main town of Polygyros, located in the centre of the peninsula.
The area of Halkidiki is very famous for its beaches and also has the reputation to have some of the best beaches of Greece. The beaches remind tropical ones with amazing crystal-clear blue or turquoise waters and long white fine sandy beaches. Halkidiki is combining those paradisiacal beaches with incredible dense vegetation and forest. The most famous beaches of Halkidiki are Kallithea, Neos Marmaras and Vourvourou.

Who will go to Shanghai, China next week? :)
Dear All
Do you know anybody will visit Shanghai this weekend or following weeks?
My friend in Shanghai will help me buy 5 models of shuttle and ship here for a test.
She is a very good Malaysian lady player and moved to Shanghai 1 year ago. If you want to play some games in Shanghai, can join the clubs she knows there.
Or she can go to Pudong airport to meet you if you can help to bring back the 5 tubes. I will buy you a good meal plus beers when come back. Haha...
The reason to get in good and cheap shuttles is that we usually bring in shuttles from JB, now the exchange rate from SGD to MYR is dropping like crazy, from 2.45 to 2.2x. So the cheap shuttles from JB are getting more and more expensive.
Many thanks,

The joy behind this film is right there in the old-time, exploitation-tinged title.
The result is smart, gruesome and inventive enough to more than please niche genre fans who are likely to spread the word to fellow admirers of gallows humor.
Antic horror comedy I Sell the Dead nods to the '60s Hammer heyday of fog-swirling Victorian chillers, as well as that period's penchant for teaming genre favorites (Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre, etc.) in genial sendups.

Marine Corps Ditches PSYOPS Acronym
Recently the Marine Corps' top decision makers have decided to change the term "PSYOPS" used to describe "psychological operations", to MISO which stands for "military information support operations." These changes which will be reflected in all Marine Corps manuals and literature should be completed by September 30th 2012.
According to the Marine Corps Times,"Psychological operations, as a mission, will continue. But you can't call it 'psyops.' Instead, Marines will use the term MISO, which stands for "military information support operations."
On December 3rd, 2010 a memo from then Defense Secretary Robert Gates directed the switch to MISO for all services within the Department. The Corps made the formal announcement of the new terminology in "Marine administrative message"(MARADMIN) 715/11, posted Dec. 12. Gates had wanted services to implement changes by Sept. 30, 2012. The Corps attributed its delay in releasing the MARADMIN to "ensuring a smooth transition across the service."
Corps To Marines: Don't say "psyops"

Living in Hackney scrutiny commission
Most recent reviews
New residential development and affordable housing gain
The commission's substantive review of 2014/15 focused on new housing development. Councillors wished to explore the extent to which new developments offer opportunities to residents across all income groups. They also wanted to investigate the extent to which the Council has been able to ensure that housing delivered by the private sector feeds into an overall target that 50% of new homes built here, are affordable.
One-off review session - culture and the arts
The commission wanted to gain some insight into the extent to which cultural organisations are working to engage community groups who may be further away from participation than others. They did this during a single evidence gathering session, where they heard from six organisations operating in Hackney.
View the draft records of the discussion (PDF). The Commission's findings and any recommendations emerging from the work will be made available here at a later date.

About the scrutiny commission
Living in Hackney predominantly considers housing and the local environment. This frequently involves working with Hackney Homes and the many registered social landlords (RSLs) who operate in the borough, as well as parks user groups and environmental campaigners.
You can view the commission's full work programme for the year on the agenda for each of its meetings.
Commission details: membership, meetings, and contacts
One-off items
The Commission was concerned that some estate and lettings agents were increasingly using misleading or false signage as a means of marketing. This was having a detrimental visual impact, particularly in some areas of the borough. A limited period of time was therefore spent on gauging the current approach to dealing with illegal signage and exploring any potential improvements.
