Question & Answers
Getting a Carpenter?
In cheats I read if you have a person who is a carpenter or construction worker they can renovate the house for free. I went through over 200 people in the "adopt" section of the game and I never saw a carpenter or construction worker. I did see weird stuff like mail order butcher and pen designer lol
Answer from: Corgi luver
I have the same problem. I am A TOTAL SPENDER! I need someone to renovate the last to rooms for my for free, but I've heard it's really really rare to have a construction worker/carpenter. Unless you get one, then I guess you'll just have to pay the money
Answer from: Whatsitoya?
I have a chair builder (technically a builder I guess. She works in the workshop,) and I tried getting a room for free but it didn't work. Maybe you have to have the money ready to do it?
Answer from: aldihfk;
Someone told me an architect would do the job if you got them to master their career. I was so close but she died before she could master it! :( I am restarting the game to see if i can get another and hopefully it will work!
Answer from: Rose
My second-gen character is a master Architect and finally mastered it, but I'd already bought the second-gen house upgrades, and so they can't build the other rooms. :c
Answer from: ShayBaby
I'll confirm on this thread, too. At generation 15 or so, I have a girl that just mastered an architect career at age 57. I've tried any and every way to get her to fix the rooms, but she doesn't. I figured it wouldn't work anyways since architect is an office job. I'll try to find a carpenter to finish off my last two rooms, but I have serious doubts that this cheat is actually true.
Answer from: xScarletPhoenix
It's so "rare" it seems like it may not actually exist. If it was never confirmed by the creator, then I bet its just a rumor someone started and we all hoped it was true, but it probably isn't.
Answer from: binkiemouse
I do not believe a builder or carpenter even exist. If it did someone would have found one. Has anyone really found one because I've tried but have not. Only have 1 room left to purchase now.
Answer from: BBRRII
I'm pretty sure a carpenter doesn't even exist. I tried to get one and went through a bunch of people and never found one.
Answer from: hellokitty
I agree, for the last 3 hours i have been flipping through all on the careers and have not found a builder or a carpenter! and people are saying that their architect wont do the work after they mastered it. i think that its fake
Answer from: LVRCH
The carpenters do exist! I didn't even know they were special I just married one yesterday and came on here for baby cheats and found this. Im on my 12th generation and they have had triplets since the advice I read on here. So foot give up because they do exist!
Answer from: Nicolette
Well, I had a model builder who works in the workshop and he mastered his career. However, I couldn't get him to renovate rooms as he always runs away in disgust. So I'm not sure if he just doesn't renovate rooms or I'm doing it wrong.
Answer from: Romona
Carpenters do exist. I was reading the cheats on how to get your house renovated for free. Saw that all you needed was a carpenter adoptee. Restarted my game and was zooming through. Clicked right over him by clicking so fast
Answer from: OMG
Ok so i was just trying to find a carpenter and was absentmindedly flipping when suddenly, for one teensy moment, i saw carpenter as the proffession! i swear this is real and im not making it up! Also a carpenter is actually called a refurbishment something something. hope this helps!
Answer from: The h
Architect doesn't get u free rooms. Sorry
Answer from: Emmy
I had a carpenter and he redid all of my rooms when I double tapped him while he was running away in disgust
Answer from: Star
I think that someone posted the carpenter cheat as a joke and now everybody looks for it. Sorry, but when you were looking it was probably just a waste of time. Sorry.
Answer from: Cat
I have a carpenter
Answer from: realslimshady99
I wish i could get a.carpenter :(
Answer from: Blueheeler9165
I got a carpenter at like generation 30 something they are almost impossible to get. Just keep trying.
Answer from: Low battery
Carpenters are real I was looking for one and I pasted one so fast and it made me so mad but I m goin to try again soon I have 6 room left to remodel and I spent all my money on food :(

Julian Alps is one of my favourite places in Slovenia. The scenery is extremely beautiful at all times of the year and I've already spent a lot of time there photographing. This October I had an opportunity to experience this beauty from totally different perspective – from the air. As a part of the Autumn colours photo tour run by my company Adriatic2Alps (the website is being renovated) we flew two times; from the Lesce airport and from Bovec. On the first flight we were three photographers on board, Mary, Ana and myself. Zasip village near Lake Bled.
Autumn colours of the Northern Julian Alps.
Lake Bled island.
The new Gorenjska highway.
Mount Krn above the Soca river valley. See this post for more photos.
A view to the south of Mt. Krn.

text: Israel May 8, 2014 A Civil Sinai by Susan Silverman When I became a Woman of the Wall, I became more fully Jewish. I had been a rabbi for almost 20 years the day I was detained, with nine other women – including my seventeen-year-old daughter – by police for wearing a tallis and praying out loud at the kotel. We were singing the psalms of hallel when a young police officer waved for me to follow her out of the women's section. I shook my head. She approached me, her hand outstretched. I reached for my daughter who is named for the prayers we sang – Hallel --and together we sat down. The police officer squatted in front of me and asked me to come with her. January 30, 2014 Landing the Triple: Female, Israeli, and First by Paula Sinclair Anya Davidovich, a sixteen-year old girl born in the USA, will be skating for Israel in the Winter Olympics. Her parents are Israeli, and most of her family lives in Israel. She is part of the first-ever pairs team to compete for Israel in the Olympics and the only female member of Team Israel. Anya will be carrying the flag for the Israeli delegation. Paula Sinclair, JWA Director of Programs & Partnerships, interviewed Anya and her mother as they prepared for their trip to Sochi. July 15, 2011 Eating Jewish: Shabbat bread done differently by Katherine Romanow When I think of Shabbat dinner, one of the first things that comes to mind is the sweet, dense challah that I love so much. It has become so popular that it can be purchased in bakeries all week long, and like many of the iconic Jewish foods of North America (bagels, knishes, pastrami, and smoked meat, to name a few) it was introduced by members of the European Jewish community. May 16, 2011 Eating Jewish: Schnitzel by Katherine Romanow When you ask people to think of Israeli food, more often than not, images of crispy brown falafel will dance before their eyes. Yet, when speaking of quintessential Israeli dishes, falafel does not stand alone. Another dish that is central to the culinary landscape of Israel is schnitzel. April 5, 2011 Remembering Netiva Ben-Yehuda by Ari Davidow Many years ago I was sitting in a kibbutz dining hall in the north of Israel. One of the older members, a woman, was reminiscing about the equality of the sexes that supposedly existed when the kibbutz was founded. December 21, 2010 Henrietta Szold and Emma Goldman: Star-crossed "Women of Valor" by Leah Berkenwald December 21st is the winter solstice and this year it was also the date of a lunar eclipse. December 21st, however, is also a big day for two important "stars": Henrietta Szold and Emma Goldman, two very important women in JWA's online Women of Valor exhibit. August 19, 2009 Eve's Bible, Jews at the Fringe, and the politics of frizzy hair! Link Roundup - Aug 19, 2009 by Leah Berkenwald Everyday I encounter a number of interesting websites, articles, and blog posts that are definitely worth mentioning. I hope you find these as interesting as I do! Feministe reviews Eve's Bible: A Woman's Guide to the Old Testament by Sarah F. Forth [Feministe] Lady Gaga makes an effort to "cover up" during her visit to Israel [Mixed Multitudes] Jewish plays at the NY Fringe Festival, including Libby Skala's A Time to Dance, and Melanie Zoey Weinstein's Sex in the Holy Land [Tablet] August 22, 2006 Guilty of Jewish Guilt by Michelle Cove I've never been to Israel. There, I said it. When I was a bratty teen who turned my back on all things religious, it was a point of pride. A badge that said I was too cool for exploring my encumbering heritage. Now it's a source of embarrassment. How could I have worked in the Jewish community for three years and not have set foot in the Holy Land? How could I be a 37-year-old woman proud of my Jewish identity and not have experienced the place Jews call home? August 10, 2006 G.I. Adi by JL I am a 23 year old Jewish female, born and raised in the U.S. Until this point in my life, I thought I had a fair amount of responsibility—I went off to college hundreds of miles away from home and moved into an equally far away home of my own after graduating to begin a career. Yet, in contrast to my fellow female Israeli counterparts in their 20s, the responsibility on my shoulders pales in comparison. How to cite this pageJewish Women's Archive. "Israel."

The Philomath Frolic & Rodeo is held during the second full weekend of July with three Northwest Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeos, (NPRA), The Grand Parade, Classic Car Show, Crafts booths, Food booths, Drill Team performances, Friday & Saturday Dance with live music by SLICKER, Carnival Rides, Lions Club breakfasts, Beef & Chicken Barbecues,Musical Christian Cowboy Church Service, Kids Korner and much more make it a fun-filled weekend.
The Philomath Frolic was started in 1953 with three couples dream of putting together a fun community event. In 1983, three brothers added their dream to the event and put the "Rodeo" in Philomath Frolic and Rodeo. Today, the Philomath community comes together every year on the 2nd full weekend of July for four full days of celebration that has become famous throughout the northwest. Click here to read more PF&R history.
Our membership has changed over the years, but the dedication today is just as great as it was back when it all started. The community has a lot to offer and it opens its doors early every summer to share the fun and hospitality with those who enter. Who are these people who volunteer so much time to organize and build up the Frolic & Rodeo? A bunch of cowboys? Hardly! In fact, very few of the people involved live on a farm or even own a horse. They are people, who feel good about contributing to the community and are dedicated to helping it grow. Click here for a Membership Application.
Rodeo Grounds
Although the arena and grounds were built to hold rodeos, the Philomath Frolic and Rodeo grounds are available for the community to use year round. Mary's Peak Shrine Trek and Northwest Youth Rodeo Associations hold an annual event at the grounds each summer and the grounds host several graduation receptions, weddings, wedding receptions, class reunions, birthday parties, mule shows, private parties, horse shows, dog shows and many other events throughout the year.
Giving Back
The Philomath Frolic & Rodeo gives a portion of its profits back to the community each year in donations to youth organizations or projects that benefit the members of the community most in need. In years past donations have been made to: Crippled Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon, Philomath Area Chamber of Commerce, Philomath Christmas Decorations, Philomath Boy Scouts, Philomath Emergency Medical Treatment, Philomath Food Bank, Philomath Baby Bank, Philomath Youth Activities Club, Philomath Library, Benton County Museum, Philomath Swim Pool, Philomath Memorial Scholarship Fund, Community Easter Egg Hunt, and the Philomath Wrestling Team among others.

- The Print
- The Artist
Edward Hopper (1882 – 1967) was an American painter known for his melancholy depictions of alienation in everyday life. Eerily realistic, his stark urban and rural scenes are a desolate montage of deserted streets, half-empty theaters, isolated railroad tracks and dreary rooming houses. Originally aspiring to be a Naval architect, Hopper rapidly rose to the status of America's foremost Realist. Portraying scenes in New York and New England, Hopper underscored their grim nature with sharp lines, large, impersonal shapes, flat expanses of color and hard angles. Although known for his oil paintings, Hopper was also an adept watercolorist and printmaker whose later works shared structural similarities with geometric abstraction.

"b1bob lives it up in Tahiti" Top 5 Page for this destination French Polynesia by b1bob
French Polynesia Travel Guide: 1,509 reviews and 3,506 photos
Finally, we landed at FAAA Airport in Papeete (pronounced PA-PAY-AY-TAY) at 2.59 on the morning of Saturday, 29 June 1991. 2.59 in Tahiti meant 8.59 in Richmond. Therefore, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure I was knackered after 24 hours of travel. There were other similar American groups that were on our coach: from New York; Washington, Pennsylvania; from Westminster, Maryland; Canyon, Texas; and us.
Some Tahitian ladies put floral leis around everyone's neck (which unfortunately aggravated my allergies). After reclaiming our luggage, we got on the coach driven by our Tahitian guide named Lionel. Due to the late, rather early, hour, we went straightaway to our hotel, the Tahiti Country Club. An accommodations dispute in my group delayed my sleep. My room mate, Mr. Rath, pitched a hissy because they didn't put him together with his daughter, Robin. The rules prohibited adult group members from sharing a room with the kids. I was for that rule which kept me from having to room with my brother. You will note that in pictures I take of him in French Polynesia (as well as Sydney, Rotorua and Honolulu), he hammed it up for the camera so much I felt like having him glazed and cloved.
- Pros:Great weather, friendly locals, and inventive transport.
- Cons:In the middle of nowhere- most international flights happen late at night.
- In a nutshell:It's work to get there, but you'll be glad you did.

I like the light house... :)
Still one of my "hot" places on my travel wish list!! Great pages!! Sorry though about the incident at the airport. Michael
Wow! I think I would love to go to Tahiti one day! Wow! Your Grandma Atkins went with you on this trip! That's like my grandma accompyaning us to a trip.
I think for me the biggest danger would be not wanting to leave.
Great tips and wish to be there one day. Cheers!
Another well written page. You have me wanting to go! Thanks for the great tips and photos.
i wonder if the places you visited back in 91 still exist today? i wonder if the info is outdated, or if it still stands today? might be interesting to go back and see the similarities/diffs.
Wow beautiful photos. It looks fantastic. Stacey xx
Rarotonga was amazing, Nat, I'd highly recommend it! I'll have to visit Tahiti one day!
Sounds like an interesting place. I sympathise with your rooster problem... I hate the damn things. Would be interesting to see that Great White. Hope to get there one day.

It's hard to overstate just how amazing it is to consider a big-budget, major studio-produced 3D family adventure centered on Georges Méliès. Before now, the work of the early cinematic innovator, whose movies (most famously 1903's A Trip to the Moon) revolutionized and advanced special effects, has been relegated to film...

The stay was decent. They have a great breakfast. Staff was decent and the courtyard fantastic. Would recommend to family and friends
Clubhouse was an O.K. stay. Cheap price and convenient location to shopping. It was kind of dirty

Hello, my name is Monique. I have been babysitting for almost 10 years now. I am 24 years old and I live in Wilmington/Sabina, OH. I have a 7-year-old son, who can come with me or can stay home. I am up for anything right now. I will do full-time and part-time, as well as occasional. I just love children and most of my favorite things to do are things kids would like to do. I have been babysitting outside of family for about 6 years. I did have my STNA license (expired, due to the fact that I didn't work in a nursing home for two years, babysitting instead), which gives me experience with special needs children.

"Christians and Other Animals" Hosts Peter Singer, Panelists
By IAN MCKENNA
Managing Editor
Published: November 16, 2012
"Christians and Other Animals: Moving the Conversation Forward," a panel aimed at revealing the relationship of Christianity with non-human animals, brought Peter Singer, world-renown philosopher, and other experts to Fordham College at Lincoln Center (FCLC) on Nov. 16.
"I'm afraid that those of you who registered for 'the Peter Singer event,' are bound to be disappointed by how much theology we cover," Charles Camosy, assistant professor of Christian ethics, said in his introduction to the discussion.
Singer, an Australian moral philosopher and one of the world's most prominent experts on animal ethics, is often regarded as one of the pioneers of the animal ethics movement with his book "Animal Liberation," published in the 1970s.
In addition to Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, the panel also included David Clough, professor of theological ethics and department chair at University of Chester; R.R. Reno, professor of theological ethics at Creighton University; and Eric Meyer, a Fordham doctoral candidate in theology.
The discussion began with opening statements from each guest. Singer, while not a theologian like the rest, outlined his essential philosophical argument from "Animal Liberation."
"I don't claim to be an expert in theology as it regards to animals," Singer said. "I was personally challenged as to why I was justified in eating meat. Why was I ethically justified in taking part of a practice that technically does treat non-human animals essentially as things. Things we can breed. Things we can then confine and then handle in all sorts of ways in all sorts of ways to maximize the ease with which we turn them into food products."
Singer continued to explain traditional approaches to relationships between humans and non-human animals, namely that humans are superior because of their capacity for complex reason and morality.
"The more I thought about this, it seemed to me that this simply was a prejudice or a pattern of thought that we had developed in our own interest," Singer said. "Something called speciesism was at work here." Speciesism, according to Singer in "Animal Liberation," is a "prejudice or attitude of bias toward the interest of members of one's own species and against those members of other species," a rationalization of our superiority that, for Singer, is on par with the rationalization for racism or sexism.
"Where animals have interest that are similar to ours, there is no reason to discount those interests or give them less weight than we would similar human interests," Singer said. "So, if animals can feel pain, then that pain matters just as if you had a small child who was not yet rational or self-aware and was in pain. You would think that was a bad thing and prevent that child from remaining in pain."
"Just because a being is not a member of our species does not justify giving less weight to the pain of that non-human animal. And that is the fundamental principle, the principle of equal consideration of interests," Singer concluded.
After opening statements, the guests were allowed to explore their own thoughts and address each other about their opening statements. Questions from the audience were asked to spark more debate.
In addition to offering Christian perspectives towards the treatment of animals, the panel also discussed the ethics of medical testing on animal and biological engineering of livestock. The discussion also focused on vegetarianism and veganism.
The event was co-sponsored by the Department of Theology, the Center for Religion and Culture, the Office of the Provost, the Dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill and the Dean of Fordham University Faculty.
I am appalled a Catholic institution provided a platform for this evil person. You gave him credibility just by inviting him! Why do you feel the need to debate evil? As Catholic's we are to stand up to evil and squash it, NOT have a cozy dialog WITH it. I could care less if he has published a million articles. Our Catholic faith should be standing firm against this evil.
Catholics will think twice before sending their children to a Jesuit university. Fordham will not even be an option. I am disheartened a leader of our church, your president, allowed this evil anywhere near your campus. Poor, poor judgment.
Where is Fr. McShane on this issue? I wonder if he questioned the intelligence and character of the Jesuits that invited him. I'm disgusted.
It's far worse than that. Fordham did not invite Peter Singer so they could debate against him. Fordham invited
Singer because they AGREE with him.
The Jesuits are not Catholics anyone. Its just that simple.

Following some adjusted wording on iBooks Textbook pages inside of iTunes that ignited speculation of iBooks Textbooks finally becoming compatible with the iPhone, a new iBooks Textbooks category has begun populating on the iOS 7 App Store for iPhone. The section is currently accessible via the Education category of the store.
As you can see in the screenshots above and below, the category is not currently populated or fully functional. However, there is promotional imagery for several categories (including Life Sciences, Humanities, and a High School Core Curriculum) that is fully optimized for the size of the iPhone's display…

Back in March, educators in the Netherlands were proposing "Steve Jobs schools" that would augment the traditional classroom environment by moving to an iPad-based education system. Today Speigel.de provides us with a little bit more information noting that eleven schools are scheduled to open next month with over 1,000 children aged 4 to 12.
It's not clear if the "Steve Jobs school" moniker will stick as the official name of the facilities, but the report explains a little bit more about exactly how the program will work: expand full story

Update: Apple had these videos taken offline. We will make an effort to see if they exist somewhere else. Help us out in the comments if you find them.
Former Apple marketing executive Bob Borchers, who was part of the original iPhone team and helped lead the Nike+iPod partnership and third-party iPod integration with car manufacturers, recently gave a talk at a school in California to discuss his experiences at Apple (part 2 below). In case you are unfamiliar, you might remember Borchers from several "guided tour" videos for iPhone and other Apple products a few years back. He has also been a source for many of the interesting stories coming from Adam Lashinsky's new book "Inside Apple."
At the starting of his talk to students, Borchers surveys the crowd to find out the ratio of Android users to iPhone users, leading him to joke: "Alright that's good. I'll keep my Apple stock." As a former marketing executive, Borchers showed and talked about a few ads, but also discussed the AT&T partnership, as he noted, "We broke rules in terms of how we worked with folks like AT&T":
"AT&T as a company… they buy the cellphones and then they sell them to you and I… we said, 'no we don't want to do that'. We want to be able to sell the iPhone. We want to be able to talk directly to the customer. That was a big, big change for the industry."
Other than telling some recent stories that have debuted in "Inside Apple," Borchers also talked about Steve Jobs' initial mission to create the iPhone, describing the late CEO as wanting to create "the first phone people would fall in love with." He also discussed how important the multitouch display and having the full "Internet in your pocket" was to the original concept. Before wrapping up his speech, Borchers talked about how the iPhone was developed from his point of view on the product marketing/product management team and the importance of Apple packaging:

Lake Minneloa, a school in Central Florida, is outfitting its students with over half a million dollars worth of iPads. Every student will be able to use their iPad at school and take it home with them for 'homework' at night (KIDS THESE DAYS!*shakes fist*)..
The school says this is an effort to save money on text books and bring a new type of learning to students.
The final cost was $700,000 dollars, which brought the school 1,750 iPads (which means they are getting a healthy discount at $400 each). Why isn't every school doing this? (Schools in El Paso are as well)
"Students learn differently now because of the technology," said Kathy Halbig, innovative learning manager for the Lake school district who is overseeing the project. "Students are used to having multiple sources and being able to have more social collaboration in their learning process rather than just doing it sitting quietly and reading."

The question is out of 11, and I realistically want about 8 on it.

Any help please? I'm desperate.

Sirnaomics won its fifth NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, with the latest award intended to develop the company's small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic product STP705 (Cutasil®), designed to improve skin wound healing with minimized scar formation.
The firm says the new SBIR funding, of an undisclosed amount, will further enhance the company's effort to perfect its nanoparticle-based siRNA delivery systems and speed up what it said were "intensive" IND-enabling studies in both the U.S. and China.
Cutasil is one of four siRNA therapeutic product candidates developed through three generations of nanoparticle-based siRNA delivery systems—self-assembled nanoparticles, ligand-directed nanoparticles, and infrared-activated nanoparticles. The other three products are STP601 for treatment of ocular AMD/diabetic retinopathy, STP702 for treatment of respiratory influenza viral infection, and STP909 for treatment of HPV infection/cervical cancer. In addition, Sirnaomics said it is developing drug candidates for several other therapeutic indications.
Founded in 2007, Sirnaomics hopes to be the first drug developer internationally to launch a marketed siRNA pharmaceutical drug that will accelerate the rate of wound closure while reducing the scar that typically forms in adult skin, decreasing the strength of the repair.
Sirnaomics said its research to date has demonstrated that accelerated wound closure with a topically applied siRNA mixture results in wound repair and a return of normal skin morphology without a scar and with return of follicles—a therapeutic benefit superior to existing standard treatment.
"This product will have utility in treatment of wounds incurred on the battlefield, wounds from burns, or wounds from surgical intervention and may have utility in treatment of diabetic wounds—many of which require limb amputation as a cure. This product can be positioned within the armed forces for battlefield medical use, within hospitals for traumatic wounds and eventually into clinics and plastic surgery offices to improve healing in elective surgery," Sirnaomics said in the statement.
Sirnaomics has estimated the market for reduction of scarring on skin at about $4 billion a year, with some 42 million surgery-patients in the U.S. each year potentially benefiting from the pharmaceuticals that can improve wound healing and minimize scar formation. According to the company, there are 70 million surgical procedures annually in the U.S., and another 41.8 million each year in Europe involving skin wounds.
Cutasil, packaged in HK polymer nanoparticles, targets both transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ1) and Cox-2, an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain. Cutasil has been tested in mouse and swine skin excision wound models, where it was seen to have accelerated wound closure, minimized scar formation, and decreased pain with anti-fungi activity.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Sissy Tickling Female Johnny by Iggy092Watch
©2011-2016 Iggy092
Sissy bet Jonny that it was harder being a girl then a boy, Johnny took some of his Sisters female growth hormone and Sissy see's how long he or she can last. I hope you enjoy, (working on coloring this soon.)
I'd so love to be tickled like that.
hahaha ilove it
pretty cute
Dude, I love this
I hope the whole bet is the only reason they make hin a girl again * hopeful look *
oh this shoes stinky much....mmh i love smell them
Yeah i bet sissys and jonnys shoes must be super stinky. Sissy should hold her shoes to jonnys face
Johnny's getting pwned. Between the female growth hormone and the girly giggling tickling, the dude's been neutered. Johnny, we hardly knew ya.
Will you make more things like this with sissy torchering johnny
XD Looks like his sister had changed him like that and he ended up being a victim. XD How amusing.
Yeah I was going to do a pic of his sisters getting tickled and then I found one where he turns into a chick for a few secs and I was like (Light Bulb) lol
A marvelous scene! I really like the ticklee expression!
Thank you very much, Yeah Im glad that I am trying the half eye open on some of my new artwork getting a feel for it.
Hehehe, nicely done man!
That must succk for him
Yeah, though I will be doing a Sissy getting tickled pic.
do sissy next!
Awesome pic man. I'll have to add your name to the artist tribute list for all the great work lately.
Cool. Great expressions.
It's been great seeing you back in the art community Iggy.
I love that even though jonny's a girl in this pic her feet still stink
Yeah, I thought that would be a good touch glad you like it.
Oh god thats just genius...you really have come along way in a very short period of time...where were you hiding all this talent!? XD
Yeah I was going to do a pic of Johnny sisters being tickled, and then I found a pic of Johnny as a chick so I went for it. I just had a lot of free time (do to no jobs.) So I been just drawing more working on my webcomic and then I started back with my Tickle artwork. Thank you again.

Bud's is great...if you like jazz. And the Lower Queen Anne Easy Street isn't that far to walk...if you can afford to take a two-hour lunch break. Which means for downtown, Borders is about all there is for CD's. It's certainly the only place in the urban core where I can purchase the new Robert Plant/Alison Krauss disc and Mark Knopfler's Golden Heart (okay, I'm really 53, not 33) in one shot. Believe me, I tried, but the independent store (which shall remain nameless) near Pike Place Market where I tried to find these albums not only didn't have the Plant/Krauss record, it didn't have any Mark Knopfler records.
That's crap. But what's crappier is the dearth of non-niche record stores downtown. I know everyone has an iPod nowadays (except me), but is real estate in, say, Pioneer Square or even the ID really so cost prohibitive that some well-heeled rock whiz with a flexible landlord couldn't make a go of it? There's got to be some place where this wish can come true, because I fucking hate having to patronize Borders.

Falcons, Eagles should soar in the postseason
By: Dave Krizman Journal Sports Columnist
PVL Pipeline
There are thin pickings for fans who want to see a boys' basketball playoff game tonight. Only three of the local teams, Colfax High, Del Oro and Forest Lake Christian, made it to the playoffs. Del Oro will trek down to Sacramento to play Del Campo High while the Falcons will, once again, host a first round game as they entertain Encina. Forest Lake is on the road at Vacaville Christian. Del Oro was awarded a No. 11 seed in the Division II playoffs, and Colfax earned a No. 3 seed in Division IV. Forest Lake is No. 13. However, as Paul Harvey used to state on his radio show, "And now for the rest of the story…" there is more than meets the eye with Colfax and Del Oro's seeding. With an 18-9 record, Del Oro received an excellent draw. Much like the NCAA Tournament, who you play and what bracket you are placed in are as important as your seeding. Del Oro received an excellent seeding. As the number No. 11 seed, they will face No. 6 Del Campo. The Cougars sport a 20-7 record which is only slightly better than Del Oro's overall record. Yet, the Golden Eagles battled in the tough, tough Sierra Foothill League while the Cougars played in a far easier league, the Capital Valley League. Research showed that over the last five years, the first round matchup between the No. 6 seed and the No. 11 seed is highly competitive. The average margin of victory for the higher seed was only six points, and in 2009 Woodcreek upset its higher seeded opponent. This column is predicting a first-round upset as the Golden Eagles bounce an overrated Del Campo out of the tournament. A Del Oro win would likely pit the boys from Loomis vs. Cordova in the second round. Up in the ponderosa pine forested and snow-covered campus of Colfax, the Falcons will entertain Encina. This is a game the Falcons should win. However, once again, research shows that first-round games between 3-seeds and a 14s are much closer than one would expect. With the exception of 2010, when No. 3 Modesto Christian won by a whopping 50 points, the average margin of victory for the higher seeded team has only been seven points. A Colfax win tonight would probably see the Falcons hosting Ripon Friday. The intriguing story surrounding the Falcons is how they managed to hold on to their 3 seed. Colfax stumbled a bit in the final week of league play. The Falcons lost to Center and then surprisingly lost to a far inferior Bear River team. Those two losses might have dropped Colfax to No. 4. However, the Sac-Joaquin Section reserves the right to tweak the final seedings as playoffs begin. By keeping Colfax at the No. 3 seed it sets up one more opportunity for the Falcons to face Modesto Christian in Arco Arena … oops… Power Balance Pavilion in the Division IV final next month. This would be the third meeting of the two schools in four years, and has become one of the best rivalries in the playoffs. Expect Del Oro and Colfax to be playing Friday.

Melina returns to wrestling
Three years ago, Melina wrestled her last match against good friend, Jillian Hall, at an independent wrestling show in Pennsylvania. While she did not rule out making various appearances in the industry, she had vowed that her days as an in ring performer were over. The former WWE diva focused on finishing her education. For whatever reasons, though, she made an in ring return at a show in California this weekend.

Jillian Hall sucker punched
A post on Instagram where Jillian Hall reveals that she was sucker punched by someone in a parking lot. She shows off her injuries in the photo. Jillian is hinting that she may have been a victim of the knockout game that idiots across the country have been playing with innocent victims.

Jillian Hall DUI arrest
While it is definitely not something that she wanted, Jillian Hall is back in the spotlight because she was recently arrested down in Florida. On Aprill 10, 2015, she was detained by a police officer because she was well above the legal limit for blood alcohol content and driving. She was released on a $500 bond a couple of hours later. Jillian plead not guilty, which is the customary thing to do in instances like these. She is unlikely to face jail time.

Stunningly beautiful!
ellegant portrait.
so sweet)))
Totally didn't recognize him when my mother was watching the show. Lovely portrait! I especially like the way you did his hair. Those curls look difficult.
I love your series of portraits ))...At soon one another Tom Hiddleston but in version "Adam/vampire" by his new film right? )) (sorry for my macheronic bad english^^).
I love your artwork. It is awesome, and you really capture the essence of each character in your images. Some of the finest portraits of Tom Hiddleston in internet are undoubtedly yours!
The coloring of this is gorgeous.... Also you drew Hiddleston so well I gasped. So there's that
When I heard he was in this, I immediately thought, 'I have to see this, and watch it with my mom.' It was so nice to see him in a complete reversal of his Loki character (charm and compliments that actually have weight behind them, as opposed to Loki's false praise); plus, my mom and I are suckers for English period dramas.
the very first thing I saw him in
and, no duh, I was in love
and, no duh, I was in love

The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on attitudes toward immigrants. Among the issues investigated were attitudes toward persons from different immigrant and ethnic groups (e.g., North Africans, Black Africans, South Americans, gypsies, East Europeans, and Asians), and attitudes toward immigration and its perceived effects on the economy and society. Respondents also were queried about friendships and work relationships with persons from different immigrant and ethnic groups, and Spanish migration to other countries. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.

Last night (22 April), stars of the opera world gathered at the Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane to celebrate the inaugural International Opera Awards. The awards, the first devoted exclusively to opera, are designed to promote excellence in opera and recognize the achievements of performers, producers and backstage teams.
Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano, who kicked off the 2012/13 season conducting The Ring Cycle, won in the Conductor category, while a host of Royal Opera affiliated artists also received awards.
'It's a great honour to receive the Conductor of the Year award. Especially so that I can give the lions share of the credit where it belongs, to my wondrous orchestra at the Royal Opera House,' Antonio said, 'They combine great musicianship and imagination with a rare dramatic flare which makes my job an absolute joy. Bravo too, to my esteemed colleagues in the conductors category; an awesome group.'
Sophie Bevan, who sang the role of Woodbird in Siegfried earlier this season and will be singing the role of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte in May, was presented with the Young Singer award; while former Jette Parker Young Artist Daniele Rustioni won in the Newcomer category.
Jonas Kaufmann, who will sing the title role in Verdi's Don Carlo this May, was presented with both the Male Singer Award and the Readers' Award, which was voted for by over 6000 readers of Opera Magazine.
George Benjamin's Written on Skin, which had its premiere in 2012 at the Aix-en-Provence Festival before opening to acclaim in London in March, won in the World Premiere Category. Opus Arte's recording of Il trittico also picked up an award in the DVD category.
Sir Peter Moores won the Philanthropist/Sponsor award in recognition of his invaluable contribution to the art-form.

The Awards were founded by Harry Hyman, who wanted to bring opera to a much wider audience and extend its appeal. He said:
Not only do we wish to reward success, but part of the funds generated from these Awards will be channelled into at least 10 bursaries to help aspiring talent."
The awards were judged by a panel of ten opera experts, including Opera Critic of the Telegraph Rupert Christiansen, acclaimed soprano Dame Anne Evans and Editor of Opera Magazine and Chair of the panel John Allison.

Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano, the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and a number of Company-affiliated artists have been nominated for International Opera Awards.
This is the first year of the awards and, the only awards to focus exclusively on opera, it is hoped that they will become the Oscars of the opera world. Designed to promote excellence in opera, they recognize the achievements of performers, producers and backstage teams.
Music Director of The Royal Opera Antonio Pappano has been nominated in the Conducting category while the Royal Opera House Orchestra have been nominated in the Orchestra category.
Those nominated in the Male Singer category include Aleksandrs Antonenko, who will sing the role of Cavaradossi in Tosca this July; Jonas Kaufman who will sing the title role in Don Carlo; and Bryn Terfel who appeared in Keith Warner's production of The Ring Cycle earlier in the Season.
Joyce DiDonato, who will perform in John Fulljames's new production of La donna del lago; and Sarah Connolly, who performed in The Ring Cycle, are nominated in the Female Singer category.
Other nominees include Ryan Wigglesworth, who conducted Birtwistle's The Minotaur in Covent Garden earlier this year and is up for the Newcomer Award; Richard Jones, whose production of Britten's Gloriana opens in June has been nominated for the Director Award; and Nicola Luisotti, who will be conducting Verdi's Nabucco on the Main Stage in March and has been nominated for the Conductor Award alongside Antonio Pappano. Allan Clayton, who will perform in Written on Skin; and Sophie Bevan, who will sing Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, are nominated in the Young Singer category.
Watch Ryan Wigglesworth rehearsing for The Minotaur as part of our highlights from Royal Opera LIVE
In the DVD category, recordings of The Royal Opera performing both Richard Jones's production of Il trittico and Jonathan Kent's production of Tosca are both nominated. There is also a Reader's Award, which allows the public to vote for a singer of their choice. Cast your vote online
All other categories will be judged by an independent panel of industry experts, including John Allison, editor of Opera Magazine. He commented:
"Driven by the feeling that true excellence in opera is seldom celebrated enough, and that new and emerging artists need all the support they can get, The Operas (as we hope they will come to be known) will address both these needs while bringing together leading members of the 'industry' and its supporters."
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Park Lane on the 22 April 2013. View the full list of nominees.]]>


text: Def Con Dos (meaning DEFense CONdition TWO) is a rap rock band from Madrid, Spain. Greatly influenced by hip hop bands Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Run D.M.C., and rock band Siniestro Total, they started rapping over hip hop bases created by producer Julián Hernández (musician and singer of Siniestro Total). In their Segundo Asalto tape (1989), the sound still was basically hip hop, but they started using rock guitars. Texts in their lyrics and in the manifestos enclosed with their records are highly offensive and complex, with many references to pop culture: pop music, Spanish folklore, news, publicity, cinema, literature and Spanish and American comics. Armas pal pueblo (1994) was probably the first album made in Spain with a Spanish version of the Parental advisory: Explicit lyrics label on the cover. Partly due to their polemical texts, DCD did not get much coverage from mainstream media in their beginnings, with the exception of some programs in Radio 3, a station belonging to the government-run Radiotelevisión Española. This situation changed when Basque film maker Álex de la Iglesia appointed them for the main themes in his films Acción mutante (Mutant Action, 1993) and El día de la bestia (The Day of the Beast, 1995). Álex de la Iglesia also directed the videoclips for these songs.

Thrill of the Hunt: Boba Fett VS Predator by AndrewKwanWatch

I can't remember the last time I drew Boba fett. Had a lot of fun drawing both characters!
Micron Pen, Brush pen and cs5
Micron Pen, Brush pen and cs5
most epic fight
Epic win!
Cool battle.
I mean, cmon. Predator does that thing as a sport. Boba is a professional. Of course Boba would own)
You just put the funniest image in my head. Just hunting for sport, A Predator calling his buddies dropping out of their weekend hunting trip cause he's stuck at the office
Damn! That is hardcore!
To hell with Schwarzenegger, THIS is the fight I want to see!!
So Awsome!
Cool NICE
This needs to be a mini comic.
This needs to be a mini comic.
Great coloring job.
A pity Dark Horse comics never did this crossover cool picture.
They should capitalize on the properties they have! I wish Star Wars Tales was still running. I loved that series, Sean Gordon Murphy did the best Star Wars/ Indiana Jones mash-up
What a pairing! Nice work. Love to see a cross-over between these two!
Very cool.
Wow bobba fett looks great!! Predator does too but I am kinda lost in the crossy pattern on his body. I think they just look too uniformed to me. I think if you actually drew those lines it would look less uniformed.
Other than that great job!!
I put it in my favorites for Bobba Fett you really really nailed him. (Predator as well just those crossy lines, not so much)

Hey, I'm Tim!
I work at the University of Toronto. A big part of my job involves traveling the world recruiting international students. I love to tack on extra days to my work trips to get to experience the cities and countries I visit.
Usually, I try to book accommodations that are walkable, and have a lot going on in the neighbourhood (local shops, coffee, friendly and not-so-friendly bars). For work, I stay in hotels (because they pay for it). I try to book in interesting neighbourhoods, but I usually default back to convenience. When I travel on my own, I like to get off the main drags, and try to see the parts of the city that make my love my own city so much. I'm always encouraging tourists in Toronto to get off Yonge St, and get themselves west of Ossington. :)
I love to check out vintage furniture/art shops, grabbing a drink on a patio, and trying to experience the city as its locals do. I'm also a big fan of super touristy activities. I love taking double-decker bus tours or boat tours. I think it's a great way to get my bearings in a city.
I'm super quiet when traveling on my own, and tend to keep to myself. That being said, I'm also very open to chatting and sharing fun travel stories, and hearing about why the city I'm in is the best place to be. I love living in Toronto (I'm from western Canada originally), but I also like to dream about living abroad.
My favorite city (so far) is probably Amsterdam. I love the history, the canals, and the people. I love to float down the canals in the evening, and see all the beautifully designed apartments. It always amazes me that all those people can design like that, or can afford to have someone do it for them.
Honourable mentions go to Berlin, Moscow, anywhere in Thailand (that I've visited so far), Montreal, and New York City.
This year, I'm looking forward to traveling to China for the first time, and to seeing St. Petersburg.
That's a little about me!

Turning now to the full year, as outlined on Slide 4, overall results were solid despite the external challenges. Total company assets under management were $335 billion at the end of the year, up 5% over year end 2010. Total company earnings for 2011 improved 4% over 2010 to $878 million, the second highest operating earnings on record, driven by strong sales and enhanced efforts around client retention.Let me highlight some of the outstanding growth metrics from 2011. Full Service Accumulation full year sales of $8.4 billion were the second highest ever and were 27% higher than 2010 sales. We saw sales growth across all distribution channels and across all plan sizes. Full year net cash flows in Full Service accumulation were $3.8 billion compared to $600 million for full year 2010.

Apple iPhone 5 Could See Delay to Fall
TheStreet) -- Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) iPhone 5 delay could stretch to fall. "This year's iPhone launch is likely to be later, towards the August/September timeframe," Barclay's Capital analyst Ben Reitzes wrote in a research note Tuesday.NEW YORK (
Concerns about Apple's iPhone 5 missing at the traditional June launch as well as a re-balancing move in the Nasdaq-100 index have been a knock on Apple shares recently. Reducing Apple's prominence in the Nasdaq-100 to 12% of the index value from 20% has nothing to do with the business of selling sleek gadgets, but it is expected to put some selling pressure on the stock as money managers adjust their Apple holdings to match the Nasdaq-100. Apple shares are down 7% since an all-time peak of $363 in February. One of the leading worries is that the Apple iPhone has been knocked off its throne by a bunch of new, muscular Google (GOOG - Get Report) Android phones. The dated iPhone 4 and the potentially-delayed iPhone 5 threaten to put Apple in a catch-up mode as rivals release big-screen, super-speedy 4G LTE phones. Barclay's Reitzes noted that Apple's been "very methodical with its annual product launches" and therefore is not likely to skip the new iPhone cycle entirely this year. A later release date may give Apple time to get on board with the 4G movement or possibly launch a new service like a long-awaited music streaming offering, Reitzes wrote. Unfortunately, much of Apple's growth momentum rides on the iPhone. Last week, checks at Verizon (VZ) stores by BTIG analyst Walt Piecyk showed that the new 4G LTE Thunderbolt phone from HTC was outselling the iPhone 4 in some locations, according to a report on Boy Genius. The stiffer competition from Androids and the lull before the next iPhone could translate to some market share loss for Apple before the new sales rush begins, analysts noted. Apple shares were down 0.38% to $339.92 in late morning trading Tuesday. --Written by Scott Moritz in New York. >To contact this writer, click here: Scott Moritz, or email: email@example.com.
