In 1944, a band of Jewish guerrillas emerged from the Baltic forest to join the Russian army in its attack on Vilna, the capital of Lithuania. The band, called the Avengers, was led by Abba Kovner, a charismatic young poet. In the ghetto, Abba had built bombs, sneaking out through the city's sewer tunnels to sabotage German outposts. Abba's chief lieutenants were two teenage girls, Vitka Kempner and Ruzka Korczak. At seventeen, Vitka and Ruzka were perhaps the most daring partisans in the East, the first to blow up a Nazi train in occupied Europe. Each night, the girls shared a bed with Abba, raising gossip in the ghetto. But what they found was more than temporary solace. It was a great love affair. After the liquidation of the ghetto, the Avengers escaped through the city's sewage tunnels to the forest, where they lived for more than a year in a dugout beside a swamp, fighting alongside other partisan groups, and ultimately bombing the city they loved, destroying Vilna's waterworks and its powerplant in order to pave the way for its liberation.
Leaving a devastated Poland behind them, they set off for the cities of Europe: Vitka and Abba to the West, where they would be instrumental in orchestrating the massive Jewish exodus to the biblical homeland, and Ruzka to Palestine, where she would be literally the first person to bring a first hand account of the Holocaust to Jewish leaders. It was in these last terrifying days--with travel in Europe still unsafe for Jews and the extent of the Holocaust still not widely known--that the Avengers hatched their plan for revenge. Before it was over, the group would have smuggled enough poison into Nuremberg to kill ten thousand Nazis. The Avengers is the story of what happened to these rebels in the ghetto and in the forest, and how, fighting for the State of Israel, they moved beyond the violence of the Holocaust and made new lives.
From Rich Cohen, one of the preeminent journalists of his generation and author of the highly praised Tough Jews, a powerful exploration of vindication and revenge, of dignity and rebellion, painstakingly recreated through his exclusive access to the Avengers themselves. Written with insight, sensitivity, and the moral force of one of the last great struggles of the Second World War, here is an unforgettable story for our time.

Read an Excerpt
It is like no Holocaust story I have ever heard. There are no cattle cars in it, and no concentration camps. It takes place in underground hideouts and forest clearings, and in the ruins of German cities after the Second World War.
I first heard the story in 1977, when my family visited Israel, a trip partly chronicled in the photo album my mother put together when we returned to our house in suburban Chicago. The pictures show a smiling family backed by the usual landmarks: Western Wall, Dead Sea, Masada. I was ten years old. My brother was fifteen. In many photographs, he wears black, sun-absorbing concert T-shirts. In one, he makes a muscle. My sister, who would soon turn eighteen, looks bored, like every minute on this trip is another party missed. There is a shot of my father leaning on an Israeli tank, looking into the distance, as if scanning for Babylonians. My mother was taking the pictures, or else holding her hands over her face so no pictures of her could be taken. When it comes to photos, my mom is a classic case of dish-it-out-but-can't-take-it. Viewed together, these pictures record a middle-class Jewish pilgrimage, a family rite, Christmas in the Holy Land: kids squinting through the glare, searching out a lost connection, a link to a homeland that, after all that air travel, feels like just another country.
If you want to know about the rest of our vacation, those moments when the camera stayed in the bag, feuds, quarrels, threats and fits, you must dig deeper, beneath the old diplomas and hockey-mom patches, to the frayed pages of The Cohen Daily News, a newspaper edited and published (by me) during the three weeks we spent in Israel. The paper, which was not really a daily, was handwritten on yellow sheets torn from my father's legal pads. Held together by a clip, the paper was passed from family member to family member. The stories, printed under smudged headlines, set down even the most scandalous rumors. Below my brother's byline ran a piece about my parents: "Herb and Ellen Fool Around." The article talked of a gleam in my dad's eye, of noises on the other side of a wall, of disheveled hair, of laughter. "Ellen was seen under the covers wearing a big smile," the story read. "Talk has it, that was all she was wearing."
Reviews ran in the back of the paper, including my dad's musings on a restaurant in Haifa where every dish was stuffed. "Not only is the food filling," he wrote. "It is stuffing." The last issue of The Cohen Daily News, published as my parents packed, tells of a trip we made to a kibbutz north of Tel Aviv, a visit with relatives once thought lost in the Holocaust. In just a few paragraphs of my sister's blocky print, the story recalls the most important evening of our vacation, our first meeting with the Avengers, veteran fighters who slogged out World War II in the gloomy forests of Eastern Europe, later fought for Bible-bleached Middle Eastern wastes, and were the kind of people who inspired Joseph Goebbels to write in his diary: "One sees what the Jews can do when they are armed." In a dozen sentences, my sister set down the moment that fused the lost connection and made the homeland feel like home -- an electric moment that lurks just beyond the photos in my mother's album.
We drove to the kibbutz by rental car. The directions given to us by the man at the hotel were useless. Israelis -- who knows why -- give directions that are both clipped and broad, like every place is the same place, like any street gets you there: only a fool can miss it. "OK, you come out on the road and you are going," the man said, waving a hand. "You are going and going and going all the time. You are seeing a bridge but you are not going there because you are still going all the time. Then you see a tree, a building, and there you are."
We took a map. I had it on my knees. On family trips, I was the navigator. I was fascinated by maps. This one showed a sliver of land along the sea. Brown, blue. The names of the towns were familiar from religious school: Yafo, Jericho, Beersheba. Looking at the map, I began to sense just how abbreviated Israel is. It seemed the map was actual size. Picking out a town, I would say, "We should be in Netanya in two hours." And just as I was saying this, my father would gear down and say, "Here is Netanya."
We turned onto a road that ran through open fields. Little cars would dart up behind us flashing their lights. You could see them in the rearview mirror. Rolling down his window, my father waved them on. And off they would drive, bounding ahead, trailed by dust. We were going to see Ruzka Korczak; we had been sent by my grandmother. In 1920, my grandmother emigrated to New York from a small town in Poland, where she had nine siblings and an infant niece, the daughter of her oldest brother. Though my grandmother was to be just the first of the children to make the trip, the family ran out of money. And the seasons changed. And the politicians fell. And the War started. Several years after Nazi Germany collapsed, my grandmother got a letter from a woman named Sara, who came from her town in Poland. Sara now lived in Israel, where she searched for survivors, trying to put them back together with lost family. She met ships, studied dockets, interviewed passengers. Early in our vacation, we had lunch with Sara. Even if she had something of interest to say, I missed it. Her husband was named Shlomo; I could not move much beyond that.
In her letter, Sara told my grandmother that almost every Jew in their town had been killed. And yet a member of my grandmother's family had survived -- the niece. For much of the War, this niece had fought as a partisan in the forest. She was now settled on a kibbutz north of Tel Aviv. "Do you remember your niece?" wrote Sara.
"You are her only family. Her name is Ruzka."
The road climbed up a hill. Looking back, I could see the flat brown country below. It was blurry in the dust. We turned onto a bumpy trail. Fields rolled into the distance. The crops were so green they hurt my eyes. The air smelled like Illinois when the farmers sell their vegetables in town. We went around a bend, and there was Ruzka. I had heard stories about her, things she had done in the War. I had expectations. What I got instead was a slight, smiling, gray-haired Jewish woman not so different from my Grandma Esther, who was just then passing her golden years in a retirement complex in North Miami Beach.
When we stepped from the car, Ruzka gave each of us a hug, as if we had met many times before. She had the rugged face of a farm worker -- a dramatic backdrop for her eyes, which were warm and youthful. She asked us many questions and seemed to savor each answer, listening as fully as most people talk. As we followed her along the road, she pointed out buildings: "That is the dining hall," she said. "That is where the children live. That is where we keep the guns." In the distance, we could see children, cattle, goats. The kibbutz is a collective, a socialist settlement where you might work in the fields or pick fruit or milk cows. Spotting any cow, a local can say, "That is my cow." The few kibbutzim that still survive are hold-overs, relics from the pioneer days, when such one-for-all communities seemed the best way of coping with scorching summers and marauding neighbors. Looking to the eastern horizon, where the fields turned brown, Ruzka said, "Before we fought the Six Day War in '67, the other side of those fields was Jordan."
Ruzka led us to a white house with a red roof. The windows blazed with light. Inside, the walls were lined with paintings and books. Avi, whom Ruzka married after the War, a handsome, fair-skinned man with white hair and brilliant blue eyes, smiled and said hello. Since emigrating to Palestine in the thirties, Avi had spent much of his life trying to recapture the culture of his youth, the music and literature and food of Austria. "Avi, what are you doing?" asked Ruzka.
He was picking at the tray Ruzka had set out: fruit and vegetables.
"Darling, Ruzka, tell me, why no sausage?"
Ruzka smiled at Avi, and then fixed a plate for each of us.
There was a knock on the door. Then another. The floorboards creaked. The house filled with the smiles and guffaws of old Jews. "This is Abba Kovner," said Ruzka. I had been told Kovner was a poet, that he had won the biggest awards a writer in Israel can win, that soldiers carried his books to war. He looked like no one I had ever seen, a lost Old World prophet. His shoulders were hunched. His body was steely slender, a piece of modern sculpture, edges and angles. His eyes shone with a dark, secretive melancholy. In any picture, his face recedes, more still and somber than the surrounding hills. At his side, never beyond whispering distance, was his wife, Vitka. She was long-limbed, with dark hair and big eyes. Her face was plain until she smiled and her smile remade her face and then her smile was gone and her face fell again into the blank gaze she must have worn as a girl in Eastern Europe.
Abba, Ruzka, Vitka -- this was not an ordinary relationship, not the conventional idea of a married couple crossing the fence to visit a neighbor. These people had met over thirty years before, in the cramped streets of Vilna, the capital of Lithuania -- kids caught in the second act of World War II. Some people have tried to cast their relationship in terms of a traditional love triangle. They say Ruzka and Vitka were in love with Abba, or Abba and Ruzka were in love with Vitka, or Vitka and Abba were in love with Ruzka. In truth, all were in love with all. They finished one another's sentences, read one another's thoughts. The things they endured and survived bound them in ways hard for anyone living today to imagine.
For the most part, they did not like to talk about the past, or about their own exploits. They wanted to know about America, or Chicago, or, in my case, the rigors of fifth grade. Only slowly, often from the mouths of other people, did we learn of the underground army they formed in Europe, of the battles they fought with the Germans, of how they escaped Vilna moments before the Jewish ghetto was destroyed. There were also stories of the forest, where they lived and fought for a year, blowing up enemy trains and transports. The forest is where they spent their last days in Europe. It is where the old life came to an end. And it's where the new life began -- where Israel was born. The story of Abba, Ruzka and Vitka is, after all, a Middle Eastern story. In the woods they were already fighting as Israelis. The courage and grit they found in the trees was the most important thing they would bring to Palestine. The forest is also where they devised the outlandish plots they would carry out in the chaotic days after the War -- plots whereby they visited a measure of vengeance on the men who had killed their families. As they spoke, the sky outside filled with stars. Constellations wheeled. Yellow light glowed in the windows and the room seemed to fall into the past, to the cities and swamps of their youth.
As I grew up, I spoke with Ruzka and Abba and Vitka numerous times, on trips we took every few years to Israel and on their visits to the United States. In my memory, their story plays out before a shifting backdrop -- houses by the sea, suburban lawns, crowded restaurants. I once met Abba in Tel Aviv at the Diaspora Museum, which he had conceived and designed. The museum was built to tell the story not just of the slaughter of the Holocaust, but of the years of Jewish life that had come before the slaughter. His hair was long and gray and he wore chinos and kept his hands in his pockets. He led me through halls of documents and photographs. In one room, he stood before a detailed model of the Great Synagogue of Vilna, a graceful network of arches and supports. "How can you know what we lost," said Abba, "if you don't know what we had."
I usually met Abba, Ruzka and Vitka in their homes on the kibbutz, in rooms crowded with books and music and paintings. Abba and Vitka's son, Michael, is a painter, and often I sat looking at his airy watercolors of houses in the Negev desert. As Abba or Ruzka spoke, doors opened and members of the old crowd wandered in, smiling and laughing, filling in the story. To an American, these people seemed an exotic hybrid -- rugged intellectuals, fighters schooled only by their experience and curiosity. When Ruzka listened, she let her hands fall to her sides, opened her eyes and drank in every word. I often spoke with her as we walked the narrow lanes of the kibbutz, past houses glowing with life, insects underfoot. She held her hands behind her back and talked in a soft voice.
Our visits to the kibbutz were mostly passed happily with our family, with Ruzka and her children -- who are my cousins -- Yehuda and Yonat and Ghadi, their spouses, and their children. Still, whenever I found a chance, I steered the conversation back to Europe, their lives before the war, how they survived, what they did when peace came. I suppose I was obsessed. To me, their story seemed to offer a view of history different from what I saw on television or read in books -- this was World War II as seen from the East, by those on the bottom, by Jews who, with nothing else to lose, decided to fight.
In 1998, I traveled to Israel to meet with Vitka and the other partisans -- those who were still alive, anyway -- who had fought with her during the War. By gathering the strands of the story, I hoped to set down a legacy that had been so carefully passed to me. I lived in a guest cottage on the kibbutz and spoke with Vitka each morning, or else she took me to some nearby kibbutz where other former comrades were living. If a person was unwilling to speak of the past, she would tell them I was a cousin of Ruzka's. They would look me over, smile and say, "Ruzka was wonderful. Let us speak in the garden."
Over a period of several weeks, these people told me in greater detail stories I already knew and also told me others I could never have imagined, stories they had never told anyone, the last great secrets of the War. When I asked Vitka why she had kept these things hidden, she frowned. Abba did not want these stories told, she explained. Israel was then living under a terrorist threat and Abba was afraid members of extremist groups might use his actions during the War as an excuse for their own behavior. Even more, he was afraid other Jews would not understand the life he had lived in Europe; removed from the context of war, his actions might seem brutal or cruel.
I asked Vitka why she had decided to tell the story now, and she talked about time and how things change. When Abba and Ruzka died, she realized that, if she did not tell their story, it might die with her.
One evening, on the kibbutz, Vitka led me into the fields, beyond the furthest porch light. A bird rose in the sky. Stars danced on the horizon. We reached a patch of manicured grass, each blade trembling in the evening breeze. Headstones were set in neat rows, dates of birth and death spanning the short history of the nation. On the edge of the cemetery, Vitka stood over two graves: Abba and Ruzka, buried just a few feet apart. To the other side of Abba, there was a third plot, an empty plot, which Vitka was careful not to step on. Vitka placed a small rock on each headstone, closed her eyes and said something under her breath. She looked at the ground, then back toward the kibbutz. "Come," she said. "Let's go home."

Bacon-wrapped Burgers
by Heather
posted Jul 11 2014 9:43AM
Don't let this be a steak-only trick...wrapping bacon around a burger is tasty too! (Fyi: large recipe here--feeds 10.)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup ketchup
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 pounds ground beef
10 bacon strips
10 hamburger buns and various toppings
In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into ten patties. Wrap each patty with a strip of bacon; secure with wooden toothpicks.
Grill patties, uncovered, over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 160. Discard toothpicks! Serve on buns with toppings.

Taryn and Shae - circle 5 by wildplacesWatch
©2011-2016 wildplaces
Lovely dancers Taryn and Shae
These are fantastic, loving the series!!
I love this!!!!!
Thanks jeff.
sweet job
taken at "middle head"?
Again, great work under the sun and using heavy shadows - it wouldn't be so interesting with that big circle dead-center. More so to love is how the girls play-off as mirror images of each other, like their own Yang-Yin combo.
There isn't much about this shot that I don't love. Maybe if the saturation was dropped slightly, but that's just me. It's awesome, their movement, the shadow, the circle. Like a knife fight from an eighties gang-movie done in dance form. Love it.
These are so cool

Death Eaters or KKK? by dance790Watch
©2011-2016 dance790
I watched the 4th harry potter, no one else sees this?
I saw this scene and I was like "KKK! NOOOOOOO THEY'VE COME FOR OUR SOULS!" XD
We are not about racism we just believe in one race which is the white race
Something that never made sense to me; and this applies to both of them: If you're so proud of what you stand for, believing it is the morally right and superior way, then why are you hiding your faces like little bitches?
We gonna hang us a mudblood!
MES since they hate muggles and muggle borns
More of supremacist than racist, but yeah.
I think that the KKK is both racist and white supremacist.
Of course they're not! They're both taller AND much cooler to look at. KKK got nothing on them.
Don't forget they have cool tattoos that let them know that Voldy wants to talk to them.
I've seen for a long time nobody wanted to belive me though because voldemort is the wizarding worlds equal of hitler I mean he's racist and a hypocrite
I knew I wasn't the only one getting that vibe from them.
it's deliberate methinks
Yup. And thier leader Voldemort is Hitler. No realy think about it. Hes a power hungry maniac who wants to "purify" the world of people he finds inferior".
IKR its the klan! apparently thats what jkr based it off
Oh I notices that the first time i ever watched the Goblet of Fire xDD
i told a friend about this and he LOL'd
ya, they look nothing alike xD
i told my friend about the resemblance and he totally agreed.
haha that was their intent XD
when you think about it, Harry Potter (well, voldemort) and Nazi-Germany are pretty much the same. Hitler was also addicted to some kind of pureblood fantasy, only in HP these are muggleborns and in the 3rd Reich they were Jews... I used to know other things that are the same but I just can't think of them right now...
Now that I think of it a few other movies have kkk-ish hooded characters..........weird.
i see it
> i guess they get rid of white people since they are wearing black xD xD

That's right folks, after an 8 year hiatus we are resurrecting our famous FAT MUSIC comp series. Much like the prodigal son (minus the whole moral parable garbage), our renowned comp series has returned. How has the blessed event come to be, you ask? Well, so much has transpired over the past 8 years, with a bevy of new acts being ushered into the Fat fold(s), that it seemed appropriate to bring back the FAT MUSIC tradition. The result is the 7th installment of the series, Harder, Fatter + Louder! The album consists of 22 tracks that run the gamut from some of our newest upstart bands like Old Man Markley, Banner Pilot, TBR, Cobra Skulls, and The Flatliners, to some of our established heavy hitters including NOFX, Against Me!, NUFAN, Strung Out, and The LawrenceArms. The comp includes 5 as yet unreleased tracks, filled out by recently released hits from all the label favorites. The comp will be available on CD, digitally and on double LP with color available while supplies last so stay tuned for our pre-order announcement.

Salinas Crop Circle - Behind the Scenes with NVIDIA - Dec 2013
Published on Jan 5, 2014
The last weekend of 2013, NVIDIA set out to create an iconic piece of art to celebrate the hard work of the engineers who created the Tegra K1 mobile processor -- a crop circle in Chualar, Calif., near the city of Salinas. Learn about why we did it, where we did it, and how we pulled it off. It certainly got the attention we wanted, and then some. Many thanks to the people of Chualar for being a part of it!

Blake Speaks
by Alanah McGinley on 07/03/08 at 08:41 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Rich Hammond at Inside the Kings,
Just got off a conference call with Rob Blake, who says the Kings never made him an offer. (Left unsaid was that Blake's agent apparently talked to the Kings on July 1 and asked for $4 million). Before Blake got on the call, San Jose general manager Doug Wilson said he called Blake's agent on July 1 to inquire about Blake's services. Here's some quotes from Blake…
On not getting an offer: "No, i didn't receive [an offer] from the Kings. As time went past on July 1… I made a decision a few weeks ago, a month ago, that i wanted to play again. That wasn't going to be happen in L.A. and I had to start looking elsewhere.''
Note: Blake was signed for one-year at $5 million earlier today.

i swear after the the chapter that introduced kang kidnapping the apocalypse twins, it threw me off guard as the whole storyline is reallllly confusing. so i stopped reading after volume 7.

The Oneida boys basketball team won the Alliance Bank Shootout last Sunday with one star playing through pain and another adding a great day at the free-throw line.
Oneida's effort earned them a 70-61 win over Voorheesville, a win which not only earned them their first tournament trophy in five years but also added momentum to what had been an up-and-down season.
"The win was big for us," said Oneida head coach Jeff Didio. "It's our third win in a row (Oneida had beaten Camden before the tournament) and now we're at 7-8. This will help us get a good start to the rest of the season."
Guard Ryan Kramer set the game's tone early. After drawing a foul and hitting two shots after driving for a lay-up against Voorheesville's big men (center Evan Christner and forward Ethan Mackey), he had a steal and had the ball given back to him for a 3-point shot.
Teamwork was key to the win. Guard Joe McCormick added quality minutes while Kramer played through pain. Kramer, who scored his 1,000th career point in the win over Camden, had re-aggravated a pectoral muscle injury suffered last spring playing baseball.
While the injury was not a major factor in Kramer's statistics (20 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals) he was limited to six-of-16 shooting (including three-of-six from 3-point range and four-of-nine from the foul line). McCormick's play in key spurts helped Oneida secure the win.
Christner came alive in the second period. After blocking a Kramer shot the senior added two quick baskets (he would have 12 points and two rebounds total in the period), McCormick answered with eight points while Kramer hit only one of four shots in the period
When Christner cut Oneida's lead to 62-57 late in the game McCormick added a steal, grabbed a loose ball and made a key basket to help preserve the win.

I just started using this and it is a nice rom. I see why it takes up so much more room. I like this combination of factory feel but darkened rom and some extra's.
1 very small issue i have discovered is that I use a pin lockscreen ( i use a vpn often ) and when i use the quick unlock in extra's it does not unlock once i type in the pin i still have to hit ok. Like i said small issue.
Also how do i update 3 minute battery? It says it is out of date but it gives me no option to update.

16 things you'd tell your pre-birth self
If you could go back in time to before your first birth, what would you tell yourself? We asked Mumsnetters to use the magical power of hindsight, and share their tips.
1. "All that 'push into your bottom' stuff that midwives say confused me. If they'd just told me to push like I was having a massive poo, I'd have got the hang of it much quicker!"
2. "You're right to start the TENS before you can really feel anything – the same is true of the gas and air. Get the hang of it
or let the midwife know it's broken before things get going."
3. "You will get a small, completely dependent human being at the end of this. When she 'popped' out I was utterly shocked that there was a baby in my arms. Even the midwife commented that I looked surprised I had given birth to a baby! I think you get fixated with the journey sometimes and forget about the destination."
4. "Going for your first poo after childbirth is almost as scary as the giving birth itself."
5. "Stand up for yourself."
6. "Don't be embarrassed about anything! Just tell the midwife what you're worried about and let her/him reassure you. I was really worried about weeing or pooing in labour - as it turned out, I didn't, but I realised that it wouldn't have mattered if I had as they've seen it all!"
7. "Be in the moment and breathe."
8. "Have an epidural early. If you feel the pain through the epidural, don't just accept it - tell someone."
9. "Remember every minute, and take lots of photos because it is the most amazing day!"
10. "Chill out - the first birth will be a long time after the first contraction."
11. "It's going to be OK. You're both going to be fine. You'll be able to see your toes again. But do get one of those doughnut cushions, they'll make things a lot more comfy while the stitches heal."
12. "I'd prepare DH to be my advocate and stand up for me when I can't do it myself."
13. "You don't have a huge amount of control over a lot of things, so try not to get too attached to a particular birth plan. Try and have a mini birth plan for each kind of scenario - for example one for a vaginal birth, one for for a caesarean etc."
14. "As long as you all come out OK it doesn't matter what happened during your birth. It's common to have questions afterwards, so do ask for a debrief if you need to talk through anything that happened."
15. "Believe you can do it. When the fear comes, face it, don't run. Speak out loud about what is bothering you and insist it is fixed."
16. "Go with your gut instinct. You know your body best. Just remember, the second it is finished it'll all be worth it!"

AFL appears close to folding
Updated: August 4, 2009, 8:06 PM ETESPN.com news services
The Arena Football League is on the brink of folding and declaring bankruptcy, an inglorious end for the 22-year-old indoor league that has suffered through a year of turmoil.
James Guidry, the regional director of the AFL players' association, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that it "seems to be inevitable at this point" that the AFL will soon announce that it has ceased operations. Guidry, speaking by telephone, said the players' association will accept the owners' decision.

Infatuation (Christina Aguilera song)
|Promotional single by Christina Aguilera from the album Stripped
|CD Single
|Latin pop
|Christina Aguilera, Matt Morris, Scott Storch
|Scott Storch, Christina Aguilera (vocals), E. Dawk (vocals)
|Stripped track listing
"Infatuation" is a song by American recording artist Christina Aguilera, taken from her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). The song was written by Aguilera, Scott Storch, Matt Morris and its production was handled by Storch, while Aguilera and E. Dawk served as vocal producers. Lyrically, the songs talks about the first love of Christina, who is a Puerto Rican. The arrangements of the songs are in Spanish and Latin influences. Aguilera has performed "Infatuation" several times, notably at the 2002 Winter Olympics closing ceremony.[1] "Infatuation" was released as a promotional CD single in Spain in 2003.[2]
Following the release of the self-titled debut album in 1999, Aguilera had achieved major success with four worldwide number-one hits.[3] Despite the international success, the singer was dissatisfied with the music and image that her manager, Steve Kurtz, had created for her, having been marketed as a bubblegum pop singer because of the genre's upward financial trend.[4] She mentioned plans for her next album to have more musical and lyrical depth.[5] Aguilera decided not to continue the contact with Kurtz.[5] By late 2000, after terminating Kurtz's services, Irving Azoff was hired as her new manager.[5] Aguilera decided to take a more prominent role in the musical direction of her next record. She also used her new alter ego, "Xtina", and changed her appearance.[6]
Speaking about the conception of the album, Aguilera told MTV News that "it is a new beginning, a re-introduction of myself as a new artist in a way, because for the first time people are really seeing and getting to know I really am".[7] She also revealed, "Coming off of the height of being a part of such a big pop-craze phenomenon, that imagery of that cookie-cutter sweetheart, without it being me, I just had to take it all down and get it away from me. And that is why I actually named the album Stripped, because it is about being emotionally stripped down and pretty bare to open my soul and heart".[7] "Infatuation" which features a Latin production, Aguilera had previously worked with Latin/Spanish music before, she released a Latin pop album called Mi Reflejo in September 2000.[8] "Infatuation" was released as a promotional CD single in Spain in 2003, the CD single also includes a Spanish version of the song "Get Mine, Get Yours" from Stripped, called "Dame Lo Que Yo Te Do".[2]

"Infatuation" was written by Aguilera, Scott Storch, Matt Morris and its production was handled by Storch, while Aguilera and E. Dawk served as vocal producers.[9] "Infatuation" is a midtempo song with a Latin beat, Written in the key of B-flat major, it has a moderate Latin tempo of 84 beats per minute. Aguilera's vocal range on the song spans from the note of G3 to a F5.[10][10] Lyrically, the songs talks about the first love of Christina, who is a Puerto Rican, with lyrics such as "He brings life to my fantasies, sparks a passion inside of me, finds the words when I cannot speak, in the silence his heart beat is music to me" [11] The arrangements of the songs are in Spanish and Latin influences. In the album there is an interlude to the song called "Primer Amor", were Christina sings and talks in Spanish. Bill Aiher from musiccritic.com described the song as a flamenco influenced track.[12]
Live performances[edit]
Aguilera first performed "Infatuation" on the 2002 Winter Olympics at the closing ceremony, and was the first song from the album "Stripped" to be performed live.[1] Aguilera was wearing a set of black leather outfit during the performance.[13] In 2003 she performed "Infatuation" on MTV Mardi Gras TV special along with other songs from the album such as "Dirrty" and "Fighter".[14] Aguilera also performed the song on MTV Xelibri Launch Party in 2003. She performed "Infatuation" on the Justified & Stripped Tour, a concert tour which was held in summer 2003 to support Justin Timberlake's album Justified (2002) and Aguilera's Stripped.[15] In late 2003, Aguilera continued to perform the track on the former's extension, The Stripped Tour, which happened without Timberlake's acts.[16][17] The performance in London is included on the singer's first full-length DVD Stripped Live in the U.K. (2004).[16]

Ignorance is bliss.
Although "ignorance" doesn't mean the same thing as intelligence, you get the point.
Lower IQ people do tend to be happier, but I wouldn't trade my intelligence for...
That was pretty sweet.
Just working and playing with stuff. About the only thing really interesting is I did some animated Christmas lights this year.
Some more if you...
Half (or more) of you probably don't even know who I am, but that's ok.
I've been gone a long time. Does anyone I know still hang around here ?
Is there still interest in this hobby?
For some reason, even though I've set github to leave my skin files alone(I think) it keeps messing with them and causes it not to work.
Here is a zip of the skin until I update it.
You also may...
Post at this url---
BTW, new to github, so if there are problems, help me fix it lol.
Hey guys, been a long time, thought I would release this here first.
I guess it's better late than never, maybe someone can still use it.
Seems like the link has gone cold and disappeared from the web :tard:
Deer & Squirrel season :)
Yes it's nuts.
And for you guys lurking, yes I'm working on it. Just gimme some time.
It's hunting season, and vacation time :)
I've got some code compiling again. So there is progress.
Need to check a bit of stuff before I let the first code out.
Might be a while so no whining :)
Hopefully they will. Maybe a lot :)
Oh I can just see it now, some crazy person will integrate the two into Froad Runner or something !
LOL, ok who title raped me ?
Because I need to go through it and make sure I have given proper credit to any sources and follow any licenses properly.
If I try to do it all at once, you'll probably never get any code :)
Yes it is.:boris:
I'm going to try.
How many of these did I give out when I was still around ?
Holy ****, this is a 4 year old thread !
Thanks for the support guys. Had some life issues, etc going on. Sorry for no updates.
I'm in the process of organizing all my pr0n:peace:, I mean files and such. When I get it all done, I plane to...
Looks sweet.
I haven't forgot about you guys. Still getting some stuff set up.
I'll keep you guys informed on progress when I can.

Now that you've found the perfect place, the hard part is over, right? Well, almost. You still have some work to do, but it doesn't have to be a headache. We have a few tips to help make your move a bit easier.
The Paperwork – First, you'll need to change your address for all of your important accounts such as your bank, student loans, car loan, insurance, credit cards, cell phone provider and so on.
Then, you need to notify your family and friends. You may need a two-pronged approach for that since maybe your grandma doesn't have email. There are some great options for "We've Moved" e-cards and regular mail cards. Get that set up and ready to go, so you don't miss those birthday cards and wedding invites. Don't forget about your magazine subscriptions. Most magazines allow you to do this easily online these days, and as long as you remember to forward all of your mail at the post office, you shouldn't miss an issue.
More Paperwork – If you are new to the Bethesda area, then you'll have to do a few more things as you settle in. You need to get your Maryland driver's license. If you're bringing a car, you need to register it in the state of Maryland. Both should be done within 60 days of your move, unless you are military, in which case you may be exempt. And don't forget to register to vote in your new district.
Set Up Utilities – Most likely, your new building will give you information on setting up utilities for your unit. But it never hurts to be proactive. This page shows utility services for Bethesda. Check with your building or landlord to find out the cable and internet provider. You may have a choice.
Get Organized – Find a moving company or a moving truck. Start going through your things. Most likely, you have a lot of items to donate or throw out. Check out Good Donor to schedule a pick-up of the items you plan to donate.
If you are handling the packing and moving yourself, an app like BoxMeUp is a great choice for staying organized. It's especially helpful if you'll have some items headed to your unit, and others headed for storage. You can label your boxes with QR codes, and then enter a content description for the box. This way you can easily search and organize your items without having to dig through boxes to find your party platters.
Moving can be an exciting and stressful time. Having a good plan of action can help avoid most of the hiccups. If this is your first big move, get some tips from family and friends as well. Somebody will always have a great tip, or remember something most of us forget. Happy Moving!

"We expect that G-8 leaders will express a consensus that growth and jobs are a top priority," Caroline Atkinson, senior director for international economic issues at the National Security Council, said last week.
But Obama rarely talks about either economic growth or jobs, except when he insists that more than 500,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under his policies since 2010. But economic growth is barely running at 2 percent, and his jobs claim was declared totally bogus by Post fact checker Glenn Kessler who gave the president "Two Pinocchios" for dishonesty.
"[T]he fact remains that manufacturing employment is still about 600,000 jobs smaller than it was when he took office," Kessler reported Sunday.
Obviously, no one at the G-8 meeting was looking to Obama for economic leadership to pull Europe out of its slump -- not with his sub-par record.
There was a time when Europe looked to America's stronger economic growth to lift its economy onto a higher track, but not now. This wasn't Ronald Reagan marching into a second term with the U.S. economy growing by 6 percent and job creation soaring in the wake of across-the-board tax cuts.
Nevertheless, job one on the G-8's economic agenda was a new trade agreement between the U.S. and the 27-nation European Union.
Yet, over the course of Obama's presidency, he's shown his political devotion to the AFL-CIO by giving the cold shoulder to new trade deals. Sure, he gave the trade issue lip service Monday, but don't look for any real leadership on that score.
There was little or no serious expectation that Obama was going to lead America's European allies on the thorny foreign policy and military conflicts in Syria or Iran.
He had diddled and delayed over the civil war in Syria while Assad killed an estimated 93,000 Syrians in the past two years in an attempt to quell the rebellion.
Now in the eleventh hour, shortly before the G-8 powers met, he meekly decided to give the rebels some light arms and other benign assistance -- hardly a match for Assad's vaunted air power and, we now know, his large supply of deadly chemical weapons.
Obama came to the meeting hoping to produce a break in the unending Syrian conflict, but after an unproductive meeting with Vladimir Putin, Assad's chief arms supplier and ally, the icy Russian president made it clear he wasn't interested. "Our opinions do not coincide," Putin said.
Neither was there any hint of a break-through between the U.S. and Hassan Rouhani, the newly-elected Iranian president who is touted as "a moderate" reformer, but not on the issue of its nuclear enrichment program and its ongoing development of nuclear weapons.
Obama was elected on the dubious pledge to sit down and negotiate with Iranian leaders over the long-standing nuclear impasse, but that's not going to happen, Rouhani indicated this week.
"All should know that the next government will not budge defending our inalienable rights," he said defiantly in Tehran on Monday. So much for this so-called reformer.
Obama's road trip may have gotten him away from his domestic troubles here at home for a few days, but they'll be waiting for him with a vengeance when he returns.
As for the early reviews of his European tour, let's just say they weren't anything to write home about.

I like how this shot looks so professional with the solid green background and the white spotlight like thing behind him... It's just my "outrageous" green painted wall in my room and the white is from an outlet lol The high contrast made it look smexy.
He is flat out adorable <3

A developer environment is typically a development machine where the product sources and corresponding unit tests are present in an enlistment. Many a times, a developer may need to block their feature development in order to run unit tests for some of the bugs in their queue. It is a productivity blocker because many instances of unit tests needs to be run in unattended mode[ in case of Functional tests specially ]
Visual Studio Team Test [VSTT] comes to the rescue in these situations !
VSTT encompasses a Test Controller-Test Agent setup for facilitating Remote Execution of automated tests. The following will briefly give an idea of the High level architecture .
Note : In case of running Automated UI tests [ or CodedUITest ], the Agent should be running as an Interactive process instead on Service to act on the UI Components under desktop.
Controller - Agent setup allows the test to collect more information from the test machine using "Data Collectors"
Note : The Symbol "*" beside the name of the Agent indicates that it is running as an Interactive process and is ready top run CodedUITest or any Automated tests that interacts with desktop

"Nice hotel to stay when tired of a long journey"
- Posted Apr 11, 2015
I stayed in this hotel for one night and around half day when I again departed for Mount Abu which is quite not far from here. I was driving with my family for last two days and we needed rest and I knew it is the only best hotel in that location. Sirohi is not a big place and has no attraction here but if you are travelling to Mount Abu you will have to walk through here.More » « Less
This hotel has a big restaurant and provides good food. I liked it but in evening it's crowded. Only place in Sirohi if you like Pizza.
In daytime room service knocks door many time to ask for some thing. Sometimes it's good, you don't have to call them, but some times it's annoying.
Pros- Room service can speak English. They come often. Good food. Outside main city, hence, it's peaceful.
Cons- No Wifi.

- Posted Aug 5, 2014
Sirohi is a beautiful city surrounded by hills and forests. Baba Ramdev Hotel is located at NH No.14 in sirohi. Hotel is very splendid and its services are very good. Rooms are quite lovable and the most noticeable thing is that it is located in the lap of the "goddess nature". You can see waterfalls in the rainy season from the hotel. It has a large parking arrangement and serves almost all Indian food items. Its Rajasthani Tawa Roti and Gujarati Thali is very famous.More » « Less

- Posted Feb 24, 2014
Ambiance looks exterior and interior is good. Rooms are good but compared to that prices are too high. According to that hotel is not worth. The management should think over the tariff. I was there in February 2014. Surprised all the rooms were occupied as said at the reception. Manager was trying to push give me the executive top class rooms which was only available such tactics being was being applied but failed.More » « Less

"The swelling in Mark Prior's elbow has receded enough for the Cubs to believe Prior can return by the All-Star break in mid-July. "I'm hoping before," manager Dusty Baker told the Chicago Tribune. "As soon as the swelling has subsided, he can start throwing again and get his arm strength back. It just depends. Usually when there's swelling, that last bit of swelling is tough to get out. Trainer Mark O'Neal said the team hopes to have Prior back before the break, refused to set a timetable until he knows how Prior reacts to throwing again. The Cubs won't put pressure on Prior to make a quick return, so as to avoid aggravating the situation."

Lamictal belongs to a group of medicines called anti-epileptics. It is used to treat two conditions — epilepsy and bipolar disorder.
Lamictal belongs to a group of medicines called anti-epileptics. It is used to treat two conditions — epilepsy and bipolar disorder.
Lamictal treats epilepsy by blocking the signals in the brain that trigger epileptic seizures (fits).
Lamictal also treats bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic depression) have extreme mood swings, with periods of mania (excitement or euphoria) alternating with periods of depression (deep sadness or despair). For adults aged 18 years and over, Lamictal can be used on its own or with other medicines, to prevent the periods of depression that occur in bipolar disorder. It is not yet known how Lamictal works in the brain to have this effect.
Take your dose of Lamictal once or twice a day, as your doctor advises. It can be taken with or without food.
Your doctor may also advise you to start or stop taking other medicines, depending on what condition you're being treated for and the way
you respond to treatment.
Swallow your tablets whole. Don't break, chew or crush them.
Always take the full dose that your doctor has prescribed. Never take only part of a tablet.
The usual effective dose of Lamictal for adults and children aged 13 years or over is between 100 mg and 400 mg each day.
For children aged 2 to 12 years, the effective dose depends on their body weight — usually, it's between 1 mg and 15 mg for each kilogram
of the child's weight, up to a maximum of 400 mg daily.
Lamictal is not recommended for children aged under 2 years.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, have taken any recently, or start taking new ones — these
include herbal medicines or other medicines you bought without a prescription.
Your doctor needs to know if you are taking other medicines to treat epilepsy or mental health problems. This is to make sure you take the
correct dose of Lamictal. These medicines include:
• oxcarbazepine, felbamate, gabapentin, levetiracetam, pregabalin, topiramate or zonisamide, used to treat epilepsy
• lithium or olanzapine, used to treat mental health problems
• bupropion, used to treat mental health problems or to stop smoking
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these.
Some medicines interact with Lamictal or make it more likely that people will have side effects. These include:
• valproate, used to treat epilepsy and mental health problems
• carbamazepine, used to treat epilepsy and mental health problems
• phenytoin, primidone or phenobarbitone, used to treat epilepsy
• risperidone, used to treat mental health problems
• rifampicin, which is an antibiotic
• a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir, used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
• hormonal contraceptives, such as the Pill (see below).
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these, or if you start or stop taking any.
Hormonal contraceptives (such as the Pill) can affect the way Lamictal works
Your doctor may recommend that you use a particular type of hormonal contraceptive, or another method of contraception, such as
condoms, a cap or coil. If you are using a hormonal contraceptive like the Pill, your doctor may take samples of your blood to check the level
of Lamictal.
Herbal products should also only be taken after talking with your doctor.
Like all medicines, Lamictal can cause side effects, but not everyone gets them.
Potentially serious reactions: get a doctor's help straight away
A small number of people taking Lamictal get an allergic reaction or potentially serious skin reaction, which may develop into more serious problems if they are not treated.
These symptoms are more likely to happen during the first few months of treatment with Lamictal, especially if the starting dose is too high or if the dose is increased too quickly, or if Lamictal is taken with another medicine called valproate. Some of the symptoms are more
common in children, so parents should be especially careful to watch out for them.
Symptoms of these reactions include:
• skin rashes or redness, which may develop into severe skin reactions including widespread rash with blisters and peeling skin, particularly occurring around the mouth, nose, eyes and genitals (Stevens–Johnson syndrome), extensive peeling of the skin (more than 30% of the body surface – toxic epidermal necrolysis)
• a sore mouth or eyes
• a high temperature (fever), flu-like symptoms or drowsiness
• swelling around your face, or swollen glands in your neck, armpit or groin
• unexpected bleeding or bruising, or the fingers turning blue
• a sore throat, or more infections (such as colds) than usual.
In many cases, these symptoms will be signs of less serious side effects. But you must be aware that they are potentially serious and
can develop into more serious problems, such as organ failure, if they are not treated. If you notice any of these symptoms:
Contact a doctor immediately. Your doctor may decide to carry out tests on your liver, kidneys or blood, and may tell you to stop taking Lamictal.
Very common side effects
These may affect more than 1 in 10 people:
• headache
• feeling dizzy
• feeling sleepy or drowsy
• clumsiness and lack of co-ordination (ataxia)
• double vision or blurred vision
• feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting)
• skin rash.
Common side effects
These may affect up to 1 in 10 people:
• aggression or irritability
• rapid, uncontrollable eye movements (nystagmus)
• shaking or tremors
• difficulty in sleeping
• diarrhoea
• dry mouth
• feeling tired
• pain in your back or joints, or elsewhere.
There are no known interactions between alcohol and Lamictal.
Always check with your doctor or pharmacist however as other medicines you may be taking may have an effect on this.
There may be an increased risk of birth defects in babies whose mothers took Lamictal during pregnancy. These defects include cleft lip or cleft palate. Your doctor may advise you to take extra folic acid if you're planning to become pregnant and while you're pregnant.
Pregnancy may also alter the effectiveness of Lamictal, so you may need blood tests and your dose of Lamictal may be adjusted.
Talk to your doctor if you're pregnant, if you might be pregnant, or if you're planning to become pregnant. You should not stop treatment without discussing this with your doctor. This is particularly important if you have epilepsy.
Talk to your doctor if you're breast feeding or planning to breast feed. The active ingredient of Lamictal passes into breast milk and may affect your baby. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of breast feeding while you're taking Lamictal, and will check your baby from time to time if you decide to breast feed.
If you have any more questions please ask your Intervene Pharmacist.

i have owed the 1280 for about 2 years, and have found it very useable in most situations. mostly i use it for car show photography and am quite pleased with the results as most car shows are fairly well lit.but this cameras most impresive quality for me is the adjustable veiw screen as most people stand in front of a display,they have to wait for a clear shot to appear this could take quite some time if its a good display but in my case i just put the 1280 above my head swivel the screen down frame the shot and hey presto on to the next display.
optical veiwfinder would be an advantage in bright conditions.as LCD screen is impossible to focus.

This review is from: Coboc 25 ft. HDMI Male to DVI Male Cable (Black)
Pros: Long cable, cheap
Cons: I tried using this cable was with a 32" television (HDMI) to a PC (DVI) with no success, switched the television with a 23" computer monitor and the monitor connected briefly after going black, I have been unable to make the cable work since. Both the TV and monitor work with a different HDMI/HDMI and HDMI/DVI cables. I have read reviews about cords made by Coboc and many of the long ones are rated poorly due to no connection/weak signal.
Other Thoughts: Unusable. I would recommend a few more dollars for a more trusted brand.

Good day. You request critiques as a matter of form. I can critique all your work yet never be satisfied since my critiques would not do your work justice. Both the subject matter and your photography are exceptional. The architecture, exteriors and interiors, and your photographic skill come together to create extraordinary images. How much of your finished work is do to photo editing is not readily apparent. The mastery of light and shadow is excellent. Mastery of the manual setting on your DSLR camera is assumed. Either you never take a 'bad' photo are you simply do not post them. You are not only creating beautiful work you are also preserving a history that can never be replaced. Your photographic conservation is greatly appreciated since many of these sites will probably be demolished in time. Your desire to preserve these sites as much as possible by not revealing their respective locations is understandable. The only thing I would enjoy more than your work is being able to view these sites in person, where ever they may be in the world. To photograph such beautiful buildings, even when they are past their prime, is a joy I can never grow tired off. Peace and keep shooting.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
10 out of 10 deviants thought this was fair.
Woooow *__* das ist ja toll, wo ist das?
What techniques do you use in photoshop to paste together these beautiful pictures? o,o
Sehr nice!
It would be interesting, from an architectural point of view to know in what part of Europe it is. Just the country would be enough.
I like the way that the architect made the capitals on the columns look as if they are groaning under a huge weight.
I have my self control of great patience. This picture goes well with me.
It's kind of clean, but not too much. I like this a lot!
Another amazing shot! You never disappoint!
Great picture.
I so much want a floor plan of these castles. I don't expect you to give the locations away, and floor plans might do that. But I still want it. My natural curiosity asks "what is left? Right? Behind the doors in the middle?, upstairs". This is very compelling work.
Super placement, brightness perfect
The safety tape on the floor kind of ruins the image.
Excellent! Your perspective placement is exceptional and probably took some foot-shuffling. An excellent capture indeed.
x 1000 now that's architecture -- real interior character!
check out the cupboard under the stairs -- harry wouldn't complain about that.
Gorgeous shot!
Mal wieder die gewohnte Qualität. Auch ist es schön, immer wieder in dem haufen Fotos hier ein Urbexbild rausstechen zu sehen, und genau zu wissen dass es von dir ist, ohne mit der Maus drüber zu fahren und zu sehen wer es geschossen hat!! Topp Foto!
Looks amazing! I'm a fan of your photos.

Good JDI!
I'm hoping she didn't buy the mare either.
I didn't post things not to do.
I would say to give the medical history, even though we asked, we weren't told of abcesses
And also of potential diseases the horse might have
If you want to test ride a horse, make sure the horse has the proper bit. (when I test rode Vega, she had a loose ring snaffle and she would run right through it. The woman said she's usually ridden in a kimberwicke. Why she didn't have a kimberwicke then, I have no idea)

Abstract: After September 11th many government officials have become concerned with the possibility of terrorists launching attacks on the U.S. through the internet. Cybersecurity in industries that form our economys critical infrastructure have been of particular concern. This paper examines the economics of cybersecurity. The economics of externalities, public goods, market failure, and government failure are all explored as they relate to cybersecurity. The financial services industry is clearly an area of critical infrastructure in our economy. This industry provides a case study to examine whether the market is providing the efficient level of cybersecurity or whether government intervention is required.

HOUSING AMERICA: Building Out of a Crisis
Could government's pervasive involvement in housing be related to the very real problems of affordability, availability, mortgage defaults and loans, and much more? If so, the appropriate policy response would be to significantly reduce, not increase, government involvement. In reassessing government housing measures, Housing America: Building Out of a Crisis is the authoritative and most comprehensive book available on resolving the housing crisis.

Can y'all do one for me

they're so cute, I just love your anatomy style.
+ I know that feeling when you have to pause to make up with all commissions. Got the same situation on MLPforums when because of my studied I missed some deadlines already and I have to make it done before the end of the month to not disappoint my customers
Lotus Heat reminds me Kei from Dirty Pair Flash
Great job once again shepherd. Watching your work is always a pleasure and I'm thinking about making an order
Awesome as always! I just love these!!
I love Lotus Heat 4 and Petal Spark 5!
How much are commissions?

Her twin, Hikura, is exactly the same, just with red hair, not purple.

Quite like the look of these two. Brilliant chart as always.
Oh look a pair of twins that are opposite! I've seen that a lot. Then again, what can you do with twins anyways, make them slightly different from eachother?
Isn't it weird how they are always stereo typed as exactly the same, or polar opposites?
Amazing worku you did!! ^^ Can you make me one? Pleeeeeaaaaseeeee *squee*
excellent work
a cool one
For some reason the song, "Sisters" comes to mind from the famous play/movie "White Christmas."
"Lord help the sister who comes between and my mister!"
"And Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man!!"
Every level of these is super cute, and there's just enough differences to separate them. ^^ I'd take 'em all though!
Hurrah for updates. Your stuff is always so adorable... except when it's creepy. You know the ones.
They're so cute!
What do I have to do If I want you to make one for me?
oh so we have a double this time. hehe I love both ponies! I like the way one is cute and sweet and the other is cool and punk! you did a nice job on all the clothes. and yay aprons are great! nice job on their faces and hair too. awesome job!
How mug for one of these oc types?
