Clad in a crisp pink Oxford cloth shirt and his trademark denim bib overalls, looking younger than his sixty-plus years, genial, full of energy and signing prints with a flourish and a black Sharpie, printmaker Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. was having a good time for himself Saturday afternoon, despite the sudden frigid winds and snow that howled up East Genesee Street. Asked when he was leaving, though, the Alabama-based Kennedy said, "Two o'clock sharp, before the real winter gets here!"
The opening reception for "Amos Kennedy Prints!" - billed as a "cash'n'carry sale" with all prints $20 each - occupied both main galleries at the Community Folk Art Center, where the exhibition remains up through April 4. It's stocked with hundreds of letterpress posters that Kennedy had produced over the previous three days. As part of what Kennedy brings to town when he does these events, he'd used that time - and a letterpress, type and other equipment lent to CFAC for the occasion by Harold Kyle of the local Boxcar Press and others - to turn the front gallery into a working print shop with local students, both from SU and area schools and after-school programs, as his crew.
The colorful, often multi-colored posters address racism, poverty, war, gender and financial issues as well as events and popular hang-outs, often in a distinctly Kennedyesque tone and many in topical series. "I knew God was a woman but I didn't know She was Black!" "Don't be a credit card SHARECROPPER!" "Doing the dishes is a part of eating. Eating is a part of sex. DO THE DISHES!" "Remember Stonewall 1969!" A series of posters from Tee's Lounge in Kennedy's 1,700-strong community urges patrons, "Be grown or Be Gone!" and "Ladies! NO Fighting in the Bathroom!" He pokes fun at politicians with "When a thief gets real good, he runs for office." There are African proverbs: "She who learns, teaches" from Ethiopia and "Children of the same mother do not always agree" from Nigeria.

What is HDR photography? How to shoot and process high dynamic range images
So what is HDR photography all about? In short, HDR techniques allow you to take pictures of high-contrast scenes and preserve all that important shadow and highlight detail. But it comes with a lot of jargon. Here we answer all the common questions about HDR photography.
What does HDR stand for?
HDR stands for high dynamic range; and the abbreviation is often used in a longer form, HDRI – high dynamic range imaging. HDR is a form of photography that enables you to create a picture with a greater dynamic range than is usually possible.
To understand what it is and to appreciate its use, you first need to have a grasp of what dynamic range is all about.
So explain dynamic range to me
Dynamic range is a measure of the range of different light levels – from the darkest black to the brightest white – that can be recorded or displayed by a device. It defines the amount of contrast you can capture or show without losing detail at the extremes.
The dynamic range that can be captured with your SLR is greater than can be displayed on your monitor.
Why is this important?
Some scenes contain too much contrast for us to capture successfully with our cameras. We avoid taking pictures in the midday sunshine as our cameras can't cope with the full range of light levels. Low-light scenes are another common problem area – we can expose successfully for the shadows, but not for the brightly-lit areas or vice versa.
SEE MORE: 20 tips for faster photo editing
Are there ways around this?
Digital imaging has made it easier to resolve because we can see the result immediately and take remedial action. We can also use flash to help reduce contrast on a sunny day and use a graduated ND filter to balance the brightness difference between the sky and landscape.
What's more, there are processing tricks we can use in Photoshop, particularly if we shoot in raw, that enable us to get information from the darkest and lightest parts of our pictures.
So where does HDR come in?
HDR enables us to shoehorn a greater range of brightness into an image in a way that a straightforward picture can't achieve. A true HDR image is created from several shots of the same scene taken with slightly different exposures.
Each exposure captures part of the full tonal range. They are then combined into a single image with software. The trouble is that these true HDR images are hard to see…
What do you mean?
A true HDR image contains a far greater range of tones – too many, in fact, to be displayed on a normal computer monitor, or printed out on paper.
They are typically stored as 32-bit files – allowing 4.3 billion shades in each colour channel. By comparison, a standard JPEG image allows 256 (8-bit) shades per channel, and a raw file 4,000 (12-bit) to 16,000 (16-bit) shades per channel.
So what do you do with these very large files?
The next stage in most HDR images is tone mapping. Here the program uses the 32-bit HDR image to create an image with a contrast range that can be shown in print or on a monitor.
Each tonal value is remapped onto a scale that creates an image in which you can see detail in the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows, and without any clipping in these extreme areas of brightness. It's this tonal mapping that creates the controversy with HDR.
Why the controversy?
Tonal mapping brightens shadows and darkens highlights, which slightly flattens the contrast of an image and increases edge definition.
But many HDR enthusiasts use the software to go further, creating an image in which all the detail can be seen clearly, but which no longer looks realistic. The effect is similar to that used in 'hyper-real' styles of painting. Some people like it, some don't.
SEE MORE: Recover clipped highlight detail: how to rescue your over-exposed photos
What sort of software do I need?
There are lots of HDR programs available – including some free ones. The best known is Photomatix Pro, but the latest version of Photoshop (CS5) has a built-in HDR facility.
HDR programs usually have a range of sliders to help you control the tone-mapping effect to your own taste.
How do I take pictures in preparation for HDR effects?
Essentially, the process is the same as that used for bracketing. The number of shots you need is largely dependent on the actual tonal range of the scene you're shooting. The more contrast, the more shots you need.
Three is the usual starting point, but you may need to take as many as nine, each with a one-to-two stop difference. Some SLRs have an AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) function, which will enable you to do this without too much fuss.
SEE MORE: Truthful Tone-mapping: a quick guide to realistic HDR in Photomatix Pro
What other settings should I use?
Your sequence of exposures should be as similar in content to each other as possible (although obviously, the brightness will vary). Any changes caused by movement can create a ghosting effect that the software will struggle with.
Set the focus manually, use a tripod, and set the exposure to aperture priority (so the depth of field remains constant). Set the camera to the fastest continuous drive setting available.
Is there an easier way?
Creating HDR images involves some effort at the time of shooting and processing but it's relatively straightforward. However, there are easier ways.
A number of programs offer false HDR effects that can create realistic-looking HDR images from just a single picture. Similarly, a number of DSLRs and compacts now have built-in automatic HDR facilities that will take the sequence of pictures for you and compile them into your tone-mapped image in the camera itself.
SEE MORE: How to blend two photos for perfect exposure
How to shoot and edit your first high dynamic range image
One of the limitations of digital camera sensors is that they simply cannot record detail in both the shadows and highlights in high-contrast conditions. You'll frequently encounter this sort of situation shooting outdoors on bright days, or when you're photographing interiors or night photography scenes.
Landscape photographers typically resolve this by using graduated filters to balance the exposure between the land and the sky. However, there are limitations with this.
Not only are the filters expensive, they are fiddly to use, and the technique relies on a straight horizon for the best results as there's no way to mask out a lone tree or standing stone that breaks through the horizon.
However, there is another solution. You can take several pictures at different exposures and combine them in the digital darkroom to create an image with an expanded range of tones. This is known as a High Dynamic Range image – better known as HDR photography.
Shooting HDR photography is not as complicated as it sounds. All you need to do is take a sequence of images by bracketing at different exposures, from underexposed to overexposed. How many images you need and what the difference in exposure between shots should be largely depends on what you're photographing.
Here's how to make a high dynamic range image.
SEE MORE: 77 photography techniques, tips and tricks for taking pictures of anything
HDR photography step by step
01 Keep it steady
As you'll be combining multiple shots to make your final image, the composition needs to be exactly the same in each photo. This means a sturdy tripod is vital. You'll also need to take steps to avoid any camera movement between shots, so use a cable release so you don't have to touch the camera at all during the process.
02 Camera settings
Your aperture has to remain constant throughout the sequence, otherwise the depth of field will change between shots and this will make aligning them more of a challenge. So, switch to your digital camera's A, or aperture-priority mode. Now the camera will vary the exposure by changing only the shutter speed. We used an aperture of f/11.
SEE MORE: The best camera settings for landscape photography
03 How many shots?
In most cases, three to five images with a one- or two-stop difference between one shot and the next is enough for constructing an HDR image, but if the scene has a very wide brightness range you may need to shoot five or seven frames. Most HDR software can process NEF files, so set image quality to raw format for the best results.
04 Auto Bracket
Activate your camera's auto bracket feature. This will calculate and adjust the exposures in your sequence. There are two settings. One is the number of shots – three is the normal number, but some cameras let you shoot five. The second setting is the interval between the shots. This can be 1EV, 2EV or, on some cameras, 3EV.
SEE MORE: How to combine photos to achieve perfectly balanced exposures
05 Continuous mode
Now set your camera to the continuous shooting mode. If you have a choice of speeds, pick the fastest available. This will minimise any cloud and tree movement between each shot which can cause nasty 'ghosting'. You'll now be able to take all the shots you need for the HDR sequence without touching the camera.
06 Test shots
Take some test shots before starting. The longest exposure should show detail in the darkest areas, such as the shadows, while the shortest exposure should show detail in the brightest ones, such as the sky. Use the histogram to assess exposure. Our scene had a medium to high brightness range, so we took three shots at intervals of 2EV.
SEE MORE: The 10 Commandments of Landscape Photography (and how to break them)
07 Get HDR software
Download the free 15-day trial version of HDR Efex Pro 2 from Nik Software. We've installed it as a plug-in to Photoshop CS5. Browse to your images in Adobe Bridge and select the five raw files. Go to Tools>Nik Software>Merge to HDR Efex Pro. Your images should open in the HDR Efex Pro window. This can take several minutes.
08 Blend your shots
You'll notice presets on the left panel of the HDR Efex Pro window. These are especially handy if you're new to this technique. We used the Realistic Strong preset. These settings can be further refined using the sliders in the panel on the right side. We applied these settings: Stricture 48%, Blacks -44%, HDR Method Clean and Method Strength 35%.

"Trakoscan" Trakoscan by Vanity666
Trakoscan Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 123 photos
Trakoscan is small town about 30km from Varaždin. It is located in the NW part of the Croatian Zagorje, between Macelj, Ravna Gora and Strahinščica.
Trakošćan was built in the late 13th century as part of the defense fortification network of the Zagorje principality. It was a small fortress serving as an observation post overlooking the road from Ptuj towards the Bednja valley. In the first few centuries of its existence, Trakošćan and the surrounding area were ruled by an unknown patrician family. The first known owners of Trakošćan were the Celjski family, who also ruled over the entire Zagorje principality, as well as Međimurje, Varaždin and large estates in the present-day Slovenia. When the family died out, Trakošćan shared the fate of their other estates and towns, passing from one owner to another and breaking up into ever smaller estates and holdings. The entire Trakošćan estate, with its fortress and the market town Kamenica, first passed into the possession of Jan Vitovec and then it was taken over by Ivaniš Korvin who presented it to his deputy Ban (Vice-Roy) Ivan Gyulay. This family held Trakošćan for three generations. When its last member died in 1566, the estate was taken over by the Royal Treasury. The king granted the estate to Cardinal and Croatian Ban Juraj Drašković for his personal use and as hereditary property. Thus, in 1584 the Drašković family gained possession of Trakošćan. They remained its hereditary owners, with one brief interruption, until World War II.

Great pic and nice costume.
Great job!
Cute photo
Jessica! ^^ I love her costumes, and Im so blessed to be friends with her. Shes crazy XP
Great picturre, costume well executed and model very pretty. But I hate DC's New 52 costume for Supergirl. They need to change it... get rid of that 'panty shield'.
Wow i hadnt realized you did this costume. Its probably my favorite one you have done
Doesn't Supergirl wear a white T-Shirt?
Beautiful costume!
damn....hot.....very nice
wow!, bautiful body, lindo cuerpo, I love
The DCnU made some terrible mistakes but I think SG story became more ... human. You can relate to the character. The outfit is a bold statement to her new persona. Some will like some won't but I think it looks great on you. Awesome!
definately Supergirl material(Superwoman abit more so)
gorgeous supergirl coplay
Wow she is very pretty, thanks for sharing.
SUper babe. wow
Great shot, she's an awesome cosplayer. I was one of many nerds/gamers that had never heard of cosplay when she came on to the scene, I think she has a done quite a bit to make geeks more cosplay aware and more accepting. She sure has a lot of trolls on FB, pretty sad.
But anyway nice shot!
But anyway nice shot!
Awesome cosplay!!!
Looks great. Happy to see the redesign. I actually like her reboot better thne her old canon version
lol I'm the Gaylord Security Guard that yelled at her in the hall on Sunday. Absolutely awesome, she's like one of two people ANYWHERE doing the DCnU version.
That is one fine supergirl!
Damn Jessica looks good as Supergirl!
All I can say is WOW.

Wow...I see this and say her new suit is not that bad after all!
Perhaps the model just did a fantastic job of wearing the outfit as well
Nice Work all the way around!

She is how i found you! I loves her cosplay, and it is from people like you that make her look as good as she does on the camera. You make the statement "make love to the camera" come to life for me. Thank you! Love your work.
cool super girl cosplay XD !!!!!
The haircut is more Powergirl. It's still pretty good though. Of course I always imagine that Supergirl has a more of a slim body type. I think that Supergirl should look like a very skinny teenager that doesn't look like much of a threat. This girl looks like she actually could give you a pretty good roundhouse kick to the face.
Hot shot of S.GIRL.
Nice shot! Gosh, she's so pretty~ I love her outfit

Education Commissioner Dwight Jones reimbursed the state for 2 1/2 years of personal calls made on his state cellphone following media inquiries into his expenses, a Denver Post review of records shows.
The $940 payback — nearly half of the total $2,227 billed to Jones' cellphone since he took the job — followed reports about pricey meals and new office furniture billed to Jones' expense account despite severe state budget cuts.
The 103 Department of Education employees who use a state phone are required to reimburse the state each month for anything beyond the occasional, short personal call.
"He knew about the policy, and he just hadn't done it," said department spokesman Mark Stevens. "It was an oversight."
Jones' cellphone reimbursement check was dated Sept. 21.
He has purchased a cellphone to use for personal calls, Stevens said.
Jones was in meetings Friday and unavailable for comment.
In a dozen cases, half or nearly half of Jones' monthly bills were made up of personal phone calls, with the amount spent on personal calls topping out at $59 in July 2008, records show.
Jones called friends from New York to Texas and spent half-hours at a time on the phone with family in Kansas, billing records show.
Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said it's a hassle to carry two cellphones, but state employees who choose not to should pay their share of calling costs.
"How could he not do that? In those cases where you're using a state resource for government and personal uses, you need to be even more conscientious," McNulty said. "That should be standard operating procedure."
Records also show Jones used state money to buy two $500-plus BlackBerry cellphones in a 13-month period. Staff said the first phone, purchased at the end of 2007, stopped working in early 2009.
Jones' spending came into question in mid-September, when local television stations reported expensive meals and purchases of thousands of dollars in office furniture and televisions on Jones' tab.
Jones said he bought the furniture for safety reasons and that the televisions would allow for more teleconferencing and less costly travel.
The most expensive meal was a $244 dinner at the Ritz Carlton on June 21 with a Greeley superintendent and two other officials, records show.
Jones' accounting department asked him to reimburse the state $102 for meals at Strings that his wife and another official's spouse ate.
Jones, who makes $223,000 a year, vowed to pay closer attention to spending in his department.
Sen. Nancy Spence, R-Centennial, who works with Jones on education issues, said the spending raised concern, but she can't fault his performance as Colorado's K-12 leader.
"He has a very high work ethic, and I appreciate that," she said. "He has to be mindful of the fact that our fiscal situation doesn't permit charging the state for personal expenses."

Good morning everyone to the third quarter results and conference call for Copart. Before we start I'll turn it over to Will Franklin for some brief remarks.
Will Franklin
Thank you, Jay. During this call we may make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include comments about our future revenue and earnings growth which are subject to various risks, including weather conditions that are adverse to our business, our ability to increase market share in a competitive market, and our ability to secure beneficial supply agreements. We also face risk arising from our increased dependence on proprietary technologies to conduct our auctions.
Finally our recent acquisitions in the UK expose us to new risk relating to international operations. For more discussions of these and other risks that could affect our business, please review the management's discussion and analysis, and the factors affecting future results contained in our 10-Q, 10-K and other SEC filings.
With that Jay I will turn the call back to you to begin comments on the quarter.
Jay Adair
Thank you Will. Again good morning, as you saw from the press release we had revenue and net income of $221 million and $46.5 million and EPS for the quarter of $0.52 a share. Will will talk about the EPS and revenue and expense analysis and balance sheet, stock repurchase that we made in the quarter and a number of those items.
I want to talk to you this morning just about some of the things that are occurring within the company in the US, Canada and the UK. We had new stores in the US, three for the quarter; Alabama, Minnesota, and Missouri. In the UK we had two locations that we acquired in Scotland and three new locations in England. This brings our total for the company to 128 locations in the US, two locations in Canada and 15 in the UK, so 145 locations total.
We completed the integration of another site in Q3 and we will complete the integration of all the sites in Q4 with respect to the United Kingdom. That gives us a total of 15 locations currently that will be fully integrated by July. We are in a—I get a lot of questions with respect the UK. We've been there almost a year now. We are fully expecting a lot of change in the next year or two. It's a very emerging market for us. We're putting in a lot of new systems, new procedures, looking at new technologies like VB2 and the way that we're selling cars. We have seen record results in the last two months both in April and in May in that market. So VB2 has continued to improve, continued to generate higher returns and that's obviously very exciting for us.
It was expected. It is something that we fortunately had hindsight with respect to doing it in the US five years ago and seeing the same affect as returns have gone up year after year after year in the US. We're seeing that same impact in the UK now. All I can say to you is that there will be a lot of change. I would expect the market to be in that change mode for the next couple of years. It's not going to be mature for this time period while we're in the midst of doing integrations and having non-recurring expenses and that kind of stuff. You will see a lot of change and I think it's all good right now.
We will be opening new stores in the UK in the next 12 months as we complete our network of facilities. We said 15 to 20 locations in that market and I expect that that will be the thing. Looking at the US for a moment, to tell you that fuel is up I think as we were talking this morning in the group here is about as obvious as telling you the sun rose today. So yes fuel is up and its probably just as obvious to everyone on the call that scrap price is up for shredded autos and that while scrap is up, that is going to have some impact in our industry and while fuel is up, that's going to have an impact.
The impact right out the gate is that towing expenses are up and I expect that towing expense will continue to rise. I can't control fuel costs and thus am limited to what I can do with respect to the control in towing expense. However there are some things that we can do as a company. In the UK, we are picking up cars in just over a day. Our goal in that market is to be below a day. I think the proof that that can happen is that in the US we are picking up cars today in less then a day nationally across the US from Florida to Washington, from Connecticut to San Diego. Less then a day in pick up times means that some cities are seeing customers calling in a car at 8:00 in the morning and it's picked up obviously the same day.

Sometimes the victims of rape or incest become pregnant from that criminal act. How are they protected by law? Do they have the option of abortion in all cases?
Rape is a serious and violent crime. Generally, it refers to sexual intercourse by a man against a woman without her consent, through force or the threat of force. However, rape can also be committed against another man and by a woman against a man. Statutory rape means a sexual act against a child or an adult who is not able to understand the meaning of sexual intercourse.
Contrary to oft-told tales, the rapist is not always a stranger hiding in a dark alley with a gun or in a deserted parking garage at midnight. Four out of ten assaults take place in the victim's own home; nearly two-thirds of all rapes are committed by someone the person knows; more than half occur within a mile of where the individual lives. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, nine out of every ten rape victims are female. Eighty percent of all victims are white. Eighty percent of victims

...but then found out that my midwife doesn't do an 8 week ultrasound - only a Doppler! ĀĀ Doh! ĀI was really looking forward to seeing the little bean!!! ĀKind of tempted to switch back to my (very ultrasound-happy) OB and then re-switch back to the midwife...
Finally made the switch from an OB to a Midwife...

At least you'll be able to hear the hb! ┬ĀWhen will she do/order an u/s?
Tara & John
2 Stay + 2gether + 4ever + 2 Make = 10der Love
Congrats on the switch!┬Ā Just tell her you want to have one and she can send you to one of the privately-run ultrasound places (or wherever she would send you for a later ultrasound).┬Ā I would be surprised if she declined that request, if you tell her your feelings on the matter.┬Ā

Nisha, wife to Ken, the love of my life for 24 years, before he fell asleep in death. Awaiting the Resurrection! Mama to: KJ, Kencaid & Kensington
Yeah on the switch!!┬Ā┬Ā This is my secound and I am using the same midwife as I did with my first!┬Ā I had a wonderful pregnancy with her.┬Ā I always tell people it was like going first class!┬Ā I asked my midwife┬Āto send me for dating at 8 wks and she sent me out no prob!┬Ā┬Ā Always talk to your midwife about any of your wishes and /or wishes.
Mama to my sweet loves Kamren Mason (5/13/10) And Xzavier Anthony (1/22/12)
i bet she wouldnt have a problem with sending you early i would just ask and see
My midwife does one if your "unsure about the date of your last menstral period. (wink wink)" then you nod and smile and say "yes I am a little unsure"┬Ā ,if you want one.
ooooh, thanks ladies! ┬Ā good to know! ┬Ā;) ┬Āi was seriously bummed b/c when i made the appt with her, she said that the first u/s is given when/if you decide to do the NT scan (which we will be doing). ┬Āi've had a missed miscarriage before so i am really anxious to actually see the bean as opposed to just hearing him/her, although i'll take either at this point! ┬Ā:) ┬Ā
~JanetĀ :)
Wife to Mike and Mommy to Connor, born 7/9/09
The NT scan happens at 11-14 weeks. So if you wanted to wait 5 more weeks you could :)
Is your mw aware of your mc? Mine doesn't usually do one at 8w, but bc of my hx of mc, she ordered one (only I'm having it at 9w, bc I wanted it after when I lost my LO). I'm also having one Wed, at 7w due to spotting I've been having with this pg, and I will again at 12w (though my OB/MW office doesn't do NT scans unless deemed necessary). Of course, the 9w and 12w u/s will be pending we make it that far; God willing!
Anyway, my point, she might order one┬Āonce she knows your hx, esp. as it's uncommon to hear FHR at 8w even with a doppler (mine tried last time at my 8w appt and we couldn't find it though u/s showed loss at 8w4d).
Melissa (32) & Brian (35) 5/22/10
Baby Love #1: Angel- D&C @ 11w on 10/18/10 (MMC @ 8w4d) Baby Love #2-Gemma: RAINBOW arrived 1/24/12
Melissa, that's what I was thinking too!!! ┬ĀI remember my OB not even attempting to use a Doppler until I was around 12 weeks so as not to freak out a mom if she doesn't hear anything...maybe it's a transvaginal doppler, if one exists? ┬ĀOr I could have just remembered the conversation incorrectly, bc I totally am losing it. ┬Ā
And I didnt' mention the miscarriage on the phone to her, but now that I think of it maybe I should have. ┬ĀShe also doesn't have my medical records yet (I have to go over to my OB's office tomorrow to formally "break up" with them and retrieve my records)...so maybe afterward, I will give the midwife a call and mention it...BTW, I too had to have a D&C. ┬ĀI miscarried at around 9-10 weeks, according to the u/s, but didn't have the D&C until almost 13 weeks because I was waiting around for it to happen naturally - which it never did. ┬Ā┬Ā┬ĀSo, I really feel for you because I know what it's like and have gone through it myself. ┬ĀSending you lots and lots of sticky baby dust!!!!! ┬Ā

Usage Note: Dissatisfaction with the implications of nonwhite as a racial label has doubtless contributed to the recent popularity of the term person of color and others, such as woman of color, with the same construction. In effect, person of color stands nonwhite on its head, substituting a positive for a negative. It is interesting that the almost exclusive association in American English of colored with Black does not carry over to terms formed with "of color," which are used inclusively of most groups other than those of European origin. See Usage Notes at colored, nonwhite. 1, 2

Neanderthal page 1 by Spacefriend-KRUNKWatch

This is from a book i pulled out of for multiple reasons. However, I have very little interior work uploaded, so here you go.
My hand didn't work after this piece.
My hand didn't work after this piece.
I have so many of your pages on my FAVORITES...I may have to raise the bar to keep the numbers down
This is insanely beautiful.
great!! when i see your comics pages i feel i listen sounds, fell the smells of scene etc.
that's realy cool.
that's realy cool.
w.O.w ...!
amazing detals:]
the self loathing is appertent through out all this piece.
Damn that grass must've been a bitch. Did you do most of that in the inking or did you actually pencil the individual blades before?
i penciled about 60% of the grass and then just made crap up when i was inking.
Cool. I was doing a sorta similar thing will some robot's wires making some foreground and others background but nowhere near this scale. I am really trying to do more with ink now too, it's weird how just knowing you can't mess up can really force you to do nail it the first time.
I want to use expletives, but I'll just say wow and go practice for, say, five more years.
good thing about this page is how you can take two images and use them in multiple panels, but WOW what images they are=]
that's not inkwork, that's an obsession!
That is a buttload of details!! WOW!!!
i try to do everything in buttloads.
holy fuck....do you use much detail in your drawings?
That must have taken you all day to do. Very nice, how many pages was this project? You would have killed yourself doing a whole book like this.
ha! that took me 3 days to do. it was 22 pages and i had time to do it, but there we other reasons i decided i needed to pull out. unfortunately, crap like this happens all the time in this industry.
glad you like it, though!
glad you like it, though!
Wow! That is amazing! How long did it take you to do this one? I'm getting a serious Barry Windsor-Smith vibe off it.
that's what everyone keeps telling me. i like Barry's work so i could be compared to worse i suppose.
it took me 3 days. i was going to do the whole book this detailed, but baby jesus had other plans.
it took me 3 days. i was going to do the whole book this detailed, but baby jesus had other plans.
Well, the detail on this rocks. Especially that grass!!! This picture humbles me in so many ways. Again, an awesome job. Too bad the whole book didn't pan out, but you have these two pages to show off and be very proud of. Thanks for sharing them!

Los Angeles Lakers to win against Play off in ordinary time at odds 2.10
- Win rate on bettingexpert 40.82 %
Last settled tips
- Tips in League 49
- Yield in League -13.50 %
The odds on Lakers to advance to playoffs in last season would probably be 1,01 or even less. In this season because of not great season Lakers have behind them and mostly because of departure of Dwight Howard bookies have set odds for Lakers not to reach play off at 1,65. Even Lakers don't have team like he had in past couple of years there are still bigger chances for Lakers to be among top eight teams at West than odds represent.
Kobe Bryant didn't finish season, because of Achilles tendon injury, but by latest rumors he will be ready for start of the season. Howard and World Peace are great players, but without them Los Angeles team will have much better chemistry in locker room and that will make affect on their game play.
Lakers still have one of the best NBA point guards in the history of the league (Steve Nash), one of the best guards and centers, too (Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol) who will definitely want to make better results than they had in season 2012/13.
Great help they will have from players like Kaman, Farmar, Young, Blake and others so this team is definitely capable to make good enough score to reach play offs.

Geoffrey Edelsten has publicly admitted to feeling 'miserable' since his split from wife Brynne Edelsten.
However the multimillionaire businessman certainly wasn't showing it when he wined and dined a mystery woman at the same Los Angeles hotel where he first met his estranged spouse.
The 70-year-old was seen enjoying the company of a blonde 30-something woman at his luxury Beverly Hills hotel on several occasions last week.
Geoffrey was seen waiting in the lobby of the iconic Beverly Wilshire Hotel, made famous in the film Pretty Woman, before his companion – who looks very like Brynne – joined him for dinner in Wolfgang Puck's CUT restaurant.

- Frei: CSU's Jack Graham got fired for being who he is
Jack Graham no longer is Colorado State's athletic director, but he perhaps will remain a significant financial contributor to the drive to build a new football stadium on the Fort Collins campus.
"You can't ask people to invest in this kind of a project without eating some of your own cooking," Graham said Tuesday, four days after CSU president Tony Frank announced his firing. "My wife, Ginger, and I have been invested in the stadium. And I'm going to do what I've asked everybody else to do, which is hit the pause button and see what happens and see what kind of plans come out of this."
Graham is adamant that disagreements over stadium fundraising issues were at the heart of his firing. That contradicted the university position it was "unrelated" to the stadium.
Had disputes over the fundraising led to an irreparable blowup between he and Frank?
"Neither Tony nor I are the kind of people who blow up," he said. "But certainly, Tony did state and cite the fact that there were differences of opinion between us that led to his decision. (The stadium) was clearly at the heart of it."
Asked if there was friction on any other fronts, Graham responded: "Over the history of the time that Tony and I worked together, we had a pretty collaborative, functional relationship with each other. ... I was hired to be a change agent, to change the culture and move the standards. We've got great relationships across the campus, whether it's the faculty and deans, staff, coaches, players, all of the above. We've got some great relationships.
"But at the same time, you do ruffle feathers through that process. It's part of leading an organization. I've said plenty of times that you don't like the times that feathers are being ruffled, but it happens, it's part of leadership and you're not in it to win a popularity contest."
Graham said CSU had raised roughly $45 million for the stadium project, mostly in pledges, and that getting to $60 million by Frank's October report to the CSU system's board of governors would have been likely, in part because many additional pledges were in the process of being formulated and finalized. He added that the publicly stated goal of reaching $110 million in the two-year fundraising was downgraded early in the process.
Graham said internal discussions at that point were that if a more modest $75 million figure could be reached, Frank could seek approval for $125 million in bond financing and $30 million that would have been ticketed for refurbishing Hughes Stadium would be shifted to help cover the cost of financing the new stadium.
"With that, we would have gotten that done," Graham said.
He added that he believed the fundraising effort was "very much on track, and in fact, from my perspective, we were on the doorstep of a great success." He said he "objected strongly" when the university several weeks ago placed the amount raised at only $20 million, a figure he said was inaccurately low but also involved determining at what point of the pledge and documentation process to include figures in the total.
"So it was hard for me to swallow and absorb this idea that it was going to be described as a failure, because I just didn't see it that way," he said.
Graham said he had been contacted by several donors who had made pledges for the stadium drive, expressing their concern over his firing and saying they might back off on those pledges. He said he told them not to do anything rash. He said he still hopes CSU gets the stadium built.
And, yes, the former CSU quarterback still is a Ram.
"I wouldn't trade the last three years of my life for anything," Graham said. "I've had great experiences and made great friends, and I think we've made great progress. And this has not ended the way I wanted it to end. It hurts, and I'm really, really disappointed.
"You take a deep breath and say, 'It's not about me, it's about the university, it's about all those coaches and student-athletes.' I will support Colorado State University until the day I die. I guarantee you I'm going to go to the CU football game and I guarantee you we're going to kick their (rear), and I'll be cheering that on as loudly as I possibly can because I care deeply."
Footnote. The school announced that Loren Crabtree, a retired University of Tennessee chancellor who also worked for 34 years at CSU and now is living in Fort Collins, will chair the search for the AD.

Funding via IMPRO
Jhonny currently works more than eight hours a day and into the late hours of the evening as a taxi driver. Through his work, he is able to pay for expenses such as food and basic services. The loan he is requesting will be used for general vehicle maintenance and an engine tune-up since his vehicle is his only source of income and in need of a few repairs.
Jhonny's dream is to improve his earnings and become independent. He wants to become more comfortable and have a better quality of life. This is the second time he has requested a loan from IMPRO, but the first time through Kiva.

Mailport October 2013 Issue
Mailport: October 2013
Thanks for the kind mention of the EasyBailer (www.easybailer.com) in the July 2013 Mailport. To update you: I have ceased production of the EasyBailer solar-powered bilge-bailing systems due to a combination of increased demand and health issues. Production may resume next year. However, I am making building plans available for those who wish to make their own solar-powered bailer. For $25, I will email a detailed description of the building process, complete with photos and parts list. The EasyBailer website provides further details.
By the way, Sea Joule (www.seajoule.com), the product the EasyBailer was compared to in the July 2011 issue, is no longer in production.

New Mom? 6 Easy Ways to Sneak in Workouts
I don't want to sound preachy, but exercise really can put you in a better mood for the rest of the day. Working out is energizing, not depleting, so if your excuse is that you barely got any sleep last night, set that one aside.
As your "been there, wiped that" friend, I will warn you that it's easy to let the months – or let's be honest, years – fly by without nailing down an exercise routine that works with your new role as Mom.
Here are 6 ways to make it work…
Cozy Winter Soups to Share With Your Tot
I have a wicked strong blender at home, which means I can pretty much turn almost anything into a yummy puree. This little trick is especially useful when I want to sneak some greens into a fruit smoothie or at this time of year, one of my favorite soups. (Shhh, don't tell my little one there might be "salad" in his food.)
These warm, hearty soups are three of my favorites. They're perfect for cold, chilly days, and for sharing with a curious toddler or spoon-feeding to a baby.
Enjoy! More
4 Ways to Bundle Up Your Bundle of Joy
At the playground today, I teased my friend Karen that I was looking to her infant daughter Holly's stroller to inspire me for this story about cold-weather baby gear. But she disappointed me, since the cozy layer spread over Baby Holly's lap was her 4-year old brother's fleece hoodie. Not exactly a noteworthy fashion statement.
Here are some more aesthetically pleasing ideas for keeping baby warm when you're out and about. (That don't involve just sticking them in their big brother's over-sized hoodie.) More
3 Tips for Creating a Nursery That Grows With Your Baby
Having been through the baby phase three times now, I have a vastly different perspective on creating a lovely (and practical!) baby bedroom these days. Now, I don't want to rob you of any of the magic of choosing the ideal nursery; but I would like to steer you toward making three key choices so that your nursery can grow with your baby.
My first (rookie) nursery was exactly what I wanted at the time… and I was ready to trade it all in within two years. My mom and husband painted John Lennon sketches into a wall mural and I purchased matching everything. In hindsight, I carried my theme way too far. Rather than go overboard, I could have kept the mural and selected solid color bedding and accents. Better still – sorry, guys! – we could have replaced the mural with a few beloved wall prints.
7 Ways to Sneak In Some Alone Time During the Holidays
The stress surrounding the holidays is the stuff of legend. Factor in some new mommy hormones and it's enough to make me cry and clutch my chest just remembering. I wish I were kidding.
If you're traveling with baby to visit grandparents in the snow or hosting all the cousins at your place, you deserve to carve out a few moments of solo time every single day. (Every. Day.) In fact, I suggest you aim for an hour each day. Even extroverts need to recharge.
3 Mantras to Follow for Happier Grandparent Visits
The holidays can be stressful, especially when visits are long, houses are crowded, and cold weather keeps us huddled near our loved ones for hours on end. The interaction I find most challenging is maneuvering a larger-than-we're-used-to group through any decision making process: how to spend our time and what to eat come to mind.
Here's how I handle our togetherness-fest:
Easy Tips for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving with Baby
Let's start with the acknowledgement that Thanksgiving is about being grateful for what we have: food, family, and hopefully, our health. Second, if you have finagled a way to be the guest and not the host of Turkey Day, you have something extra for which to be grateful.
Next, we must confess that there are aspects of holidays that can make us feel less-than – whether it's not knowing how to cook (or not wanting to cook), or feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of having to do so when you have a new baby at home.
Thanksgiving Foods Babies Can Eat
I've had Thanksgiving babies in a broad range of ages. And trust me, they can join in on the fun, too.
3 Tips for Making New Mom Friends & Setting Up the Perfect Play Date
Arranging a play date between your baby and another baby is simply a less vulnerable way of inviting another parent to spend time with you. And as long as you'll be feeding and wiping and changing and feeding and wiping and changing, why not have a little adult company while you're at it? Maybe someone who wants to talk through the latest episode of Parenthood or discuss the logistics of taking a car seat on an airplane. Not all my friends are interested in that, you know.
5 Ways to Have Fun with Your Baby on a Rainy Day
It just so happens that my baby and I didn't have a lot of common interests for the first several months, unless you count snuggling.
Yes, staring at each other passes the time and reading books happens every day, but those aren't very novel. Searching for a few indoor activities that are just as fun for me and a wee one, I wanted to dig a little deeper and think of the activities that brought big smiles, if not fits of giggles, to both our faces.

The Evince document viewer
Evince is quickly becoming Gnome's standard viewer for PDF and other document formats.
Like other visions of the future, the paperless office is taking much longer than anyone expected. The heaps of paper on office desks just don't seem to get any smaller. On a brighter note, some books – especially technical documentation – are now available in electronic format, alternatively or exclusively, as the case may be. Documents in the Portable Document Format (PDF) [2], an Adobe [1] development, look the same no matter what operating system you use, and this means extending genuine cross-platform compatibility to document design.
In the world of Unix and Linux, other formats such as PostScript and DVI play important roles. There are any number of Linux-based document viewers. Gnome now includes Evince (Figure 1) [3], a useful all-rounder, as the standard viewer for these file types. Evince can also handle graphic formats such as TIFF and DjVu, which are typically the result of scanning text documents.

Dancer/choreographer Dana Reitz, the Viola Farber Artist in Residence at Sarah Lawrence College performed "Some Chamber Pieces," work she has developed here, on May 14 in the Bessie Schoenberg Dance Studio in the College's Performing Arts Center. (See "Dancing with Light").
Reitz is the first Viola Farber Artist in Residence at the College, made possible by a gift from the artist Robert Rauschenberg in memory of the late dancer/choreographer and director of the Sarah Lawrence Dance Program from 1987 until her death in 1998.
Commenting on his gift to the College, Raushenberg said of Farber, "Although she is no longer with us, her spirit may live on through the many artists and dancers whose lives and work she will influence."
Reitz is a choreographer and dancer who has developed and produced projects, which she often refers to as performance landscapes. Most of these works are performed in silence to reveal the movement's own musicality. Since the early 1980's Reitz has pioneered work in the realm of movement and lighting, treating light as an equal partner in the performance arena.
Recent projects include "Unspoken Territory" (1995), a solo she created for Mikhail Baryshnikov with lighting in collaboration with Jennifer Tipton and "Necessary Weather" (1994), a collaborative work with Tipton and dancer Sara Rudner, now director of the Sarah Lawrence College Program in Dance. In 1996, she and Mikhail Baryshnikov toured together with a program for solos. Reitz premiered a new solo "Cadences (for Cunningham and Cage)" in Lisbon (2000) and is currently working on a new collaborative project, working title "Place," to premiere in 2002.
Reitz' work has been commissioned and produced at major festivals and theatres in the U.S. and Europe and she has toured throughout the U.S. and internationally. She is the recipient of two New York Dance and Performance Awards ("Bessies") and has had her work supported by major foundations including the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial foundation and public agencies including the National Endowment for the Arts. She is currently on the faculty at Bennington College.

Frosty the Snowman
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby
In: Songs & Music , Holidays
Instructions:A classic!
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, with a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away."
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all
around the square saying, catch me if you can.
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

Tf2 really doesn't need good comp specs to play with. Judging from your specs, it can run Tf2 decently.

If you are on Steam, I could send you an invitation for a free 3 day trial without spending anything. You could then see if the game runs how you like and buy it after if your computer is okay. It's actually the best way to know for sure.

We just need the exact video card model to give you the most accurate answer. in my opinion you will be able to run this fine but don't expect to be able to play this at high settings. Most likely low/medium at 30-50 constant fps.

Yes, you should be able to.

A video card with 256 megs of VRAM can't be all that good.
I suggest upgrading your video card before attempting to run TF2, although your processor can keep up with it, but only just.

TF2 needs alot of RAM, at least 3GB because of the map sizes.

You should just get the game and see, cuz its free to play now :)
