An uneducated, Evangelical gun collector with an American flag sticker on the back of his country-music-blasting pickup truck, who believes gays shouldn't have rights and thinks that Fox News is actually "fair and balanced": this is the caricature of your average Republican stereotype.
Though the UW College Republicans may defy this stereotype in some respects – they go to class, at least, and have the brains to get admitted – the ideas behind the group's outrageous actions seem to validate those late-night punch lines. During the past few years, the club has held events like its 2003 "Affirmative-Action Bake Sale," where cookies and doughnuts were priced according to the buyer's race. Last year a student dressed up as a prisoner of war, blasting a stereo to prove a point about media reports of U.S. interrogation techniques. And in late 2007, "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" brought heated debate and protest from on- and off-campus clubs and communities. The series of events included a talk by conservative author and talk-show host Michael Medved and a screening of "Suicide Killers," a documentary about suicide bombers.
The offensive statements the club is making are nothing new, but they've recently gained more attention. Auggie Eck, a senior and the College Republicans' (CRs) newly elected president, attributes this to it being an election year, which raises interest in news about politics.But Max Wagner, a senior and the former UW Young Democrats president, said things with the CRs have gotten worse since his freshman year. Though debates between the clubs have always been heated, the groups would still have fun together. Now that's "completely dried up," he said.
"I think the CRs at the UW today are much more hard-lined in their views of how liberal the UW is and that everyone is against them," Wagner said. "They feel a lot more persecuted than other UW CRs have in the past."
It's no secret that academia leans left, but Eck and CRs member Peter Cowman, also a senior, said some of their friends think they have gotten lower grades for offering conservative viewpoints in classes. Though they have no way to prove this, the students feel they're a minority on campus because of intense peer pressure to be liberal.
Phil Bevis, a Seattle Republicans spokesman, thinks the UW manifests an "intellectual monoculture," and isn't upholding its mission to increase diversity in thought.
But is feeling "persecuted" a justification for hosting blatantly offensive events?
Wagner doesn't think so. He has been personally offended by some of the CRs' statements. Last fall, he protested "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" with the UW's Muslim Student Association and Hillel UW, a Jewish center.
Despite the seemingly racist mentality of these events, however, club members aren't necessarily racist.
"I think they hold these events, not because they're racist, but because they're ignorant of the facts of the stances they are taking and how they impact people," Wagner said. "They're just going about it the wrong way."
Or maybe the UW community is just looking at it the wrong way.
That's what Eck said and what former CRs President Tom Walker told The Daily, UW's student newspaper, after the club's most recent event, "Find and Illegal Immigrant Tag," was canceled in April. They felt their critics didn't have a full picture of what the group was doing.
So what exactly were they doing?
The event would have been an eight-minute game of tag with two players identified as federal agents and four as illegal immigrants. The point was to show the lack of manpower in U.S. border control.
The group says they're not against immigrants, they just want them to be legal. Cowman, whose girlfriend is a legal immigrant, said he spoke out against the event when the CRs discussed plans for it because he knew people would take it the wrong way.
"We're not purposely trying to offend people," Eck said. "We're trying to raise awareness, and that may be controversial for some. We're not trying to be offensive to anyone. Could someone take offense? I guess – but that's really up to the individual."
Some of these provocative events are held annually by the UW CRs and other Republican groups at universities throughout the country. Eck said he will probably hold "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" again during the 2008-2009 school year, and he hopes to plan new events that haven't been done before.
Insert punch line here.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
Since the mid-1990s, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued countless bad software patents. These patents tend to be hopelessly vague and overbroad. Indeed, they are often so packed with indecipherable patent jargon that software engineers have trouble understanding them. As one programmer told This American Life, even his own patents look like pure "mumbo jumbo." When they fall into the hands of patent trolls, these vague software patents become a tax on innovation.
If there's something that drives us crazy, it's when patents get in the way of innovation. Unfortunately, we often don't find out about the most dangerous patents until it's too late—once they've been used to assert infringement. That's why we were encouraged by the new provision of the patent law that allows third parties to easily challenge patent applications while those applications are still pending.
But, here's the rub: it's hard to identify those dangerous applications. And, once you do, it's even harder to find the right information to challenge those applications during the window that the law allows. So we partnered with the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and Ask Patents and—most importantly—you.
EFF filed comments today urging the Federal Trade Commission to take action against patent trolls. We have written often about the rise of the patent troll—entities that don't create products themselves, but instead buy patents and make money from lawsuits—and the serious harm they are causing true innovators.
It's been nearly two years since we first reported about Lodsys, the patent troll who targeted app developers. You might remember that Lodsys had actually filed lawsuits against some app developers in Texas; that case was (and is) slowly moving forward. We hadn't heard anything else from Lodsys in the meantime and assumed (foolishly, perhaps) that it was waiting to see what the judge said. This week, that all changed. It appears that Lodsys sued at least ten more app developers—many smaller players along with larger ones such as Walt Disney.
In a victory for open source and common sense, a federal judge has thrown out a patent suit against the Linux-based operating system on the grounds that the patent claims a mathematical algorithm. The case is encouraging both for the result and because the judge ruled at the beginning of the case on a motion to dismiss. This means that the defendant didn't have to waste a fortune fighting this bad patent. We hope the case will be a model for future litigation involving abstract software patents.

Columbus East and North high schools wisely required senior projects for students starting in the early 2000s. Columbus Signature Academy-
New Tech High School smartly made it a requirement later, after opening.
As a result, students have gained knowledge and skills that have benefited them long after graduation, and the community has received valuable help through fundraisers and improvement projects.
Of course, some students haven't been thrilled about doing senior projects, and some parents have written and sent letters to the editor expressing concerns or objections. A student in Washington state even completed a senior project on ending senior projects, arguing that they were a waste of class time and money.
We respectfully disagree.
Senior project requirements include a proposal, a research paper, a project, a portfolio and a presentation. Senior projects stretch students by making them think analytically, organize their time and communicate with others. All of those are life skills that are helpful in jobs or even when volunteering with organizations.
Learning for students extends beyond the classroom, which is why the project is a valuable aspect of the requirement. North requires the projects to benefit the community in some way; East doesn't make that mandatory, although about one-third are community-oriented each year, while the rest have a career focus or personal interest. Students become aware of their larger surroundings and what is in their community through these projects.
The greater benefit of the projects is how they can help the Columbus community. For example, one student's senior project has become the largest annual fundraiser for Turning Point Domestic Violence Services: The Dance Marathon. Another sold ornaments and raised $10,000 so Access-Ability, a local nonprofit that loans medical equipment to those in need, could buy durable equipment.
Senior projects are a win-win for students and the community. Students showcase all of their skills to write papers, complete projects and present them, and often the community benefits — sometimes in a lasting way.
That's anything but a waste of time and money.

Every Wednesday morning, Reverb Karaoke Korrespondent Jeff Roman files a dispatch from some corner of the karaoke universe. This week, he recaps a visit to Greenlake's Little Red Hen.
The Little Red Hen was my home for karaoke last summer. I went on a two month stretch where I was there every Monday. It's all about the crowd at that place, and singing in a country bar atmosphere is my favorite. I love performing southern rock in front of those old cowboys, because there's nothing better than having people get up and dance as you perform. That's how you know you're really delivering.
I have some gal friends that like to do the line dance/karaoke one-two punch on Monday nights. They called me last week to let me know they were there. I was really excited to head back, because I hadn't been in since I became the Karaoke Korrespondent.
Monday night karaoke at The Hen has always been a lot mellower than Wednesdays (which usually gets shoulder to shoulder packed), but this night was pretty dead even by those standards. None of the old timers were there. I was happy for the chance to get more songs in, but was sort of bummed my audience wasn't there.
The Hen had a team of three KJs. The head guy had short dark hair, wore cop sunglasses, a skin tight AD/HD t-shirt, and spoke with a lot of flavor. His two sidekicks both wore ball caps slightly tilted to the side. One dude matched his cap with a green Sonics t-shirt, and the other guy wore a black, unbuttoned, long-sleeved striped shirt. They seemed a bit out of place to me at first.
I was called up quickly, and chose Alabama's "Take Me Down" for my first number. I was completely satisfied with the performance because I adore that song, but it didn't get anyone dancing. It's too upbeat to waltz to, and I guess it didn't have the right beat for line dancing. The KJs were gracious enough to tell me I did a good job, so I decided stop judging them for being so smoothed-out for a honky tonk bar.
The three-man KJ team got up next and did "No Diggity" by Blackstreet, and it was pretty damn good. It's rare to see really polished male R&B sung in any k-bar; you need to be blessed with a silky voice to pull those types of songs off. Three older ladies got up and started line dancing to their performance, and it was definitely the most random thing we saw all night.
A dude in a scrubby flannel with a fat chew in his lip was called up next. Out of nowhere, he busted into such a great "La Bamba" that we all started laughing out of shock. We could not believe how good he was. It's always fun when you're convinced someone is going to suck and they totally surprise you.
A couple acts later saw a guy in his forties with a thick mustache deliver a great rendition of "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'." Steve Perry is really hard to sing, and he hit all the notes with ease--but I was mostly glad to hear someone pick a song from Journey other than "Don't Stop Believing." One of the KJ's told him as he stepped off the stage that he should have tried to do something with that voice ten years ago. At first, I though he was giving him a backhanded compliment, but figured this kid was pretty young and probably didn't realize what he was being insulting.
I was going to sing "The Gambler" until the KJs sang "Inside Out" by Eve 6. Personally, I think that song blows, but they did do a decent job trading off verses. They looked so pleased with themselves when they were done that it annoyed me. I was still bitter about that stupid contest I was in last week, and I wanted to blow their performance away with something that really rocked. So I went with "Last Nite" by The Strokes.
It started kind of wooden, but something came over me midway through, and all of a sudden I went crazy with the screaming and air guitar. Nobody danced for that one either, but those dudes got the message.

The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
This mod is being made for those who love stargate and would like an rpg game from it, it is not a total conversion, but just a small mod which adds the ability to travel to different worlds through a stargate placed somewhere in Cyrodill. Among these new worlds will be things from several different fictional universes, including Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who. One that will in no way, shape or form be introduced into my mod is Star Trek, so dont waste your time or mine asking for that. Having said that, please request any specific armour, clothing, weapons etc. that you would like in the forums.
This mod will be for Oblivion and Fallout: New Vegas, the page for the New Vegas version will be separate but I will not create it till the game has been released and I have started progress with it. Both mods will be worked on at the same time as both use the same models, textures, sounds and lore.
Progress Checklist:-
[X] Models (Majority now complete)
[0] Texturing (some testing but none finished yet)
[0] Implementation (started)
[0] Stargate scripts (learning but may need help here)
[0] New World (one will be in the first release)
[0] NPC's (including new creatures and enemies, some allies too)
[0] Expansion Worlds (these will be released one at a time and will not require any of the others, just the base of the mod as it has all the models etc and will be the biggest download).
Doctor Who Expansion:-
[X] Tardis (several interiors and exteriors have been modelled and roughly textured)
[0] Implementation (Not beginning till Stargate is finished)
[X] NPC's (Daleks modelled, Sontarans are being worked on and Cybermen are being redesigned slightly as I am not happy trying the current series design)
[0] Misc Items (Sonic Screwdriver, weapons, armour/clothing, etc being worked on)
Star Wars Expansion:-
[0] Models/texturing (many being worked on currently)
[0] NPC's (Simple enough, mostly human but may introduce other species if I learn how to do it properly)
[0] Worlds (several will be added after the first one, this will work similar to the stargate new worlds but will require both Stargate Base and Star Wars Expansion)
Battlestar Galactica Expansion:-
[X] Models/texturing (not much here so it didnt take long)
[0] Implementation (this will be done like the other expansions, after the originial Stargate version is complete)
[0] NPC's (Only human and maybe cylons if I get the models rigged to skeletons etc)
Starship Expansion:-
[X] Models/texturing (Almost complete)
[0] Implementation (Can only be done after Stargate Basic is complete)
Operation Stargate Advanced:-
[0] Stargate Basic
[0] Star Wars Expansion
[0] Doctor Who Expansion
[0] Battlestar Galactica Expansion
[0] Starship Expansion
[0] New Worlds Expansion
[0] Mystery Expansion

To make it clear since nobody seems to read any previous comments before asking a stupid question, this mod is NOW for Oblivion, the uploaded version was for Morrowind. Ive only left the Morrowind version there for people that want to download it again. If anyone comments asking what game this mod is for again, I will not reply and will also delete their comment.
Seriously, should be under the 500 character mark for once! I have uploaded the first screen shots of the first area in SkyFi, alongside starting its own page, here is the link to it, still being authorized so don't be surprised if you can't view it.
Skyrim Mod - SkyFi
The Website is now up too, this will make it much quicker for me to update anything as ModDB requires authorization (I mean I am editing this post and I made it 2 days ago).
Well I expected to get more done than I did but it looks like the time has come to put Oblivion to sleep and crack open Skyrim. The Creation Kit is apparently...
Right, I have been slamming my head against the Oblivion CS for ages now, a few years now I think and I still haven't finished yet. I think it is pretty...
Hey all, I will be very surprised if anyone is actually reading this to be honest, I just thought I would post an update of progress and changes.
Right first off, after being asked why its called operation stargate when it includes so much other sci-fi stuff too I have decided to change the name...

Hi, thank you for creating this mod it is fantastic, but i am having some trouble finding the book (key to the stars), please help me.
I admit it is difficult, go to vivec, hall of justice, its next to the hall of wisdom under the floating moon thingy. there is an office somewhere there with 2 ordinators in it and a trap door half under the carpet in the corner of the room, theres only 2 or 3 rooms this cud be so jus check them till u find it, the trapdoor does have a lock on it AND a trap (hence trapdoor) if u dont want to risk dying u cud use the console and type in tgm for god mode, then turn it off after if you want. the book is on the table next to the door as u walk in. The next thing is much easier to find :) hope that helps.
by the way, if you need help please use the forum, you might get a quicker reply :)
I am actually playing your mod, but I can't find the book. I found the secret room, but there isn't any book at tables as you said, please help me...
thanks, and i'll take that advice, i will use the forums next time.
Sounds good can't wait
What are the requirements for this???
and what's the estimated size (eg 60 MB) of the files?
wow a comment already XD didnt expect any this soon lol, the requirments for the final version will be morrowind with both expansions as it will use alot of things from both of them, there is also a couple of other mods you will require but I will upload them when they are needed so you dont have to go searching for them. Im not sure how big the file will be yet but including the required mods your best just to have a gig free space. One of the required mods is about 600MB because it has 90+ armour sets in it and im using a few of them in this mod. Sorry I cant make it any smaller :(
The demo is out if you want to have a go at it. its only around 60-70MB at the most. and it only requires Morrowind and will work with most other mods.

Your body is said to be a walking machine. Take this in mind that if something in the system gets malfunctioned, the machine can never work the same way as you have used it on the first day. This means that having a sound body is acquiring the sustainability of the body to perform its daily function. Step up. Work it out so it won't get rusty as it goes.
You don't have to break your arms and legs just to remind yourself of what's working out. Exercising does not require you to spend money just to get to your nearest gym. So you would want to cut off your flab, check these easier ways on how to achieve your ideal shape.
Groove through dancing.
Dancing is an exercise not for just a specific age group but for all! Not only that it is a physical activity, but it also enhances our social life as we enjoy grooving with other people. Dancing is not only for dancers but for an aspirant like you! It helps your body to gain coordination and balance. An aerobic exercise will also do, and it is heart healthy. Take at least half an hour two or three days in a week for better results.
Swim against calories.
Swimming is an exercise that involves the whole body. This seems to be an effortless exercise because of the buoyancy in the water that makes it lighter. Without getting the feeling of tiredness, by just swimming through a single pace, you are now burning hundreds or even a thousand calories.
Take a walk.
Exercise has never been that harsh. If you want something that is less intense to do, then walking can be your fitness partner. When you have newly started your fitness plan, taking a walk can be lighter for you as a newbie. Studies have shown that walking is more effective in burning calories than running. Also, consider this as safer means of losing weight.
To also feel that it is not a burden for you to take longer distances, you can invite your friends. Trust me, when you keep on hanging out and chit chattering with your peers, I'm sure you would not mind if you travelled a few kilometers. This form of exercise is the cheapest and anyone can do it!
Did you know that walking helps build muscle and promote weight loss fast when done regularly? With walking, your muscles are boost with higher endurance primarily in the lower muscles. Take 10,000 steps per day and you will see the difference!
Cycling several rounds
Cycling also helps your cardiovascular system to be stimulated. However, you have to make sure to have safety equipment so you wouldn't end up having injuries. Also, cycling is never meant for those who do not love doing it.
Jog safely.
Did you know that jogging in an hour burns 435 of your calories? As your body sweats, wastes in the body are being removed even the unwanted fats and lipids. Also, jogging a few kilometers from your home, for instance, can activate your metabolism. A faster metabolic rate also means faster way of digesting healthy foods and releasing unwanted fats.
You can perceive your dream body figure if you start taking actions. Taking this seriously can lead you to learning on how to build muscles fast without having much hard time on it. Don't treat exercise as a curse; take this as an opportunity in starting to turn to a healthier and fitter you. All things will turn out right if you get to know what patience is. You don't just get your ideal body in one snap, but you can as you slowly generate progression.

You have a right to the full story, and to be part of the "game plan". This is your home, and your family, too. I would approach the subject with him like a mutual planning and strategy session. Ask him to explain the whole story to you, and his feelings on what would be best for the kids, if he thinks they will spend time with their mom, or if it's out of the question.
You should absolutely prioritize taking care of yourself, too. You did marry a guy with two kids, which always entails the risk that you are going to end up parenting them full time. So I'm afraid you do have to understand. But needing a break isn't evil, and needing some time with your SO isn't something to feel guilty about. There's nothing wrong with making the effort to grab a week or so together while the older kids stay with their grandma. The craziness of blended families is REAL, so take care of yourself and your relationships!

Why Millennials Don't Care About Monica Lewinsky
Neither should the rest of us.
Even before the re-emergence of Monica Lewinsky with Thursday's Vanity Fair article offering her latest take on her affair with Bill Clinton and the ensuing constitutional crisis, stories about the world's most famous intern had been hovering in the national news for months.
Lewinsky had become a subject of conversation again because of the ongoing debate within the Republican Party over how to treat President Clinton's impeachment if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016. Back in February, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Monicagate was very much a live issue. Sen. Rand Paul, the supposed GOP youth savior in 2016, also views the Lewinsky affair as a rich line of re-inquiry, having called Bill Clinton a "serial philanderer" who displayed "predatory behavior."
Karl Rove, meanwhile, said talk of anything impeachment-related would only make a potential GOP candidate look petty. Whether or not it's wise to do so, some Republican operatives see a potential Hillary candidacy as an opportunity to reintroduce a new generation of voters to some of the more salacious aspects of the first Clinton presidency.
"A huge portion of the electorate that's going to be her target don't remember the Clinton administration at all," said Tim Miller, executive director of the early 2016 super PAC America Rising, in a Talking Points Memo article published a day before Vanity Fair announced its Lewinsky story. "A lot of the negative stuff about the Clinton era has congealed into like a joke or a historical blip, but people don't remember the details." Miller, whose group had already begun looking for opposition research on Clinton last year, wants to make sure that these young voters don't have a "a clouded vision, a nostalgic vision of the Clinton era." (I reached out to Miller for this story, but he declined to comment.)
The idea of the GOP reintroducing Bill Clinton's affair with Lewinsky to younger voters may seem pointless and potentially self-damaging. When you dig deeper, it becomes even dumber. More than any other emotion, the millennial generation that would be offered this introduction to the high crimes and misdemeanors of President Clinton are either bored by the story, or view it with the sort of nostalgia that Miller described.
When the "new" Lewinsky story came up in the Slate newsroom on Tuesday, there was a millennial cohort that responded with total indifference.
"The whole scandal remains opaque to me to this day," said one colleague who was 10 years old at the time. Her main interaction with the affair had been a question on her high school AP U.S. History exam. (She had to guess at the answer; some of her classmates had no idea.) "It's a black hole of knowledge for me, between my actual current events experiences and study of history. I guess I should read up on it and inform myself, but it just seems so silly in hindsight that I wouldn't waste my time."
The idea that there will be an entire voting bloc in 2016 with limited memory or interest in Lewinskygate is borne out by data. In a Survey Monkey survey conducted by Slate after the Vanity Fair article was announced, we asked several age groups what they remembered about the impeachment saga and how closely they followed it. The millennials in the survey, those aged 18 to 29 years old, have relatively little recollection of it. Only 46 percent of this subgroup said they remember it very or fairly well, compared with 69 percent of the total survey and 76 percent of all other groups.
When you look at the younger range of millennials, the numbers become even starker. Only 28 percent of the younger group, between 18 and 24, remembers the story well. (It's understandable—some of them were toddlers!) Ten percent of this group remembers following it either very closely or fairly closely. "Age is really important," in terms of how people view the Lewinsky affair, says Neil Howe, a co-author of the 2000 book Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation. "As you go younger and younger, it gets more and more sort of lurid and weird."
We were curious how that stacked up against people's memory of other events, namely the Sept. 11 attacks, the O.J. Simpson trial, the Clarence Thomas hearings, the Iran-Contra hearings, Watergate, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy. We found that, except for the major historical events of JFK's assassination and the 9/11 attacks, the age cutoff for having strong memories and having followed big news events is around between 10 and 13 years old. A strong majority of people who were between ages of 11 and 16, about 63 percent, had vivid memories of the O.J. trial in 1995, while only 36 percent of the millennial group, who would have been 10 or younger at the time, remembers it well. That said, 50 percent of the people in the 6–10 age group in 1995 say they have some memory of the O.J. trial. The Clarence Thomas hearing saw a similar result with 14 percent of people in their 30s (7–16 age range at the time) having strong memories, compared with 35 percent of people in their 40s (17–26 age range). The numbers are similar for the Iran-Contra scandal as well, suggesting that those two events were less important to the public consciousness of young people than the O.J. trial.
The exception to that early teenage cutoff seems to be big generation-defining events. For example, 82 percent of those older than 50 remember JFK's assassination in 1963, and 74 percent of all millennials said they followed coverage of 9/11 closely, while 85 percent said they remembered it well. Those numbers hold up when you look at the younger group who would have been between 5 and 11 at the time, of which 74 percent said they remembered 9/11 well.
Still, for events that didn't qualify as world-shattering news, which the Clinton impeachment apparently did not, that 10–13 cutoff range appears sound. A colleague who was 13 years old at the time says he followed the news closely. "I feel like people forget how explosive it really was [at the time]," he said. "Imagine Obama having a 'blue dress' situation on his hands. It would be unbelievable."
Many of those who were younger than 10 during the height of the scandal don't have any memory of the public outcry at all. They may be familiar with the Clinton impeachment trial, but it's often only because of a class they took in college.
"I never really learned about it in, like, a history class until this year, actually," says Ashley Motta, a 19-year-old freshman at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. Motta, who founded Saint Anselm's "Ready for Hillary" group—a college affiliate of the national super PAC that is urging Hillary to run for president, said, "I've obviously learned second-hand and been learning more every day as the scandal keeps coming up."

Miles, Mathieu take top honors on AP All-SEC
Published: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 2:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 2:46 p.m.
ATLANTA — Alabama running back Trent Richardson is a unanimous choice for offensive player of the year, while LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu has been named the top defensive player on The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference team.
The team released Monday also tabbed LSU's Les Miles as coach of the year after he guided the top-ranked Tigers (13-0) to a spot in the national championship game against their SEC West rival, No. 2 Alabama.
Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell was named freshman of the year despite injuries and disciplinary issues. As expected, LSU and Alabama (11-1) dominated the selections, with both powerhouses placing five players on the first team. SEC East champion Georgia had four first-teamers.

The BKW girls' soccer team turned an 0-5 start into a 6-7-2 season as it hopes to win a sectional game on Friday.
Again, the Berne-Knox soccer team pitched a shutout, but it took two overtimes to score a goal to advance in the Class C playoffs.
To the Editor:
I have had the privilege of serving on the Berne Town Board since January. We have worked well as a team, each bringing our own distinctive set of skills and points of view to the table.
To the Editor:
Judging by the number of political signs, it seems that the position of the highway superintendent in Berne is one of the most hotly contested. But what does this position really entail?
I want to thank [Enterprise Hilltown reporter] Marcello Iaia for writing the nice article about the thrift shop that has opened at the Helderberg Evangelical Lutheran Church in Berne. We were pleasantly surprised how many new people we had visit the shop this past Saturday because of the article.
This is for everybody in New York State, but mostly for people in the Hilltowns above Albany.
I vote but am lax on town board meetings and school board meeting that impact my life and ours. We can sit back and let others dictate to us or we can get involved.
It's time for a reality check for the Berne Town Board.
I would like to comment on the Altamont Enterprise article that appeared in the Sept. 18, 2014 edition, "Buddhist retreat center and hilltop views sold to Berne."
Have you driven by the Saddlemire Homestead on Route 156 in Knox lately? The overgrown shrubbery and dead tree have been removed. The house's peeling patches are gone, and its new coat of white paint dazzles in the autumn sunlight.
No other soccer team in Section 2 has allowed fewer goals — three — than the Berne-Knox-Westero Bulldogs. The team is comfortably in first place.
Thank you, Altamont Enterprise, for printing the picture of Bill VanAlstyne and related information regarding child safety seats on page 25 "Safety First" in the Oct. 2, 2014 edition.

First, let's get it out of the way: lolcats.
Second, I'm just gonna say it, I'm not a professional music critic. In fact, I'm generally pretty crap at it. But I'll try to put my thoughts into words as best I can.
There's something about the flute playing that gives this a very... uplifting feeling, almost angelic in a way. The guitar compliments it EXTREMELY well, a nice backdrop to the flute (and I believe a violin as well?).
And lastly, here's MY one word: Respect.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I don't really have anything intelligent to contribute.

If I remember correctly, Carl (one of the Sony forum regulars) did a review of this lens and he had good things to say about it. I had been contemplating a Minolta 100-300 APO and his review pushed me towards the SAL 55-300mm. Its a plastic fantastic, easy to carry, cheap and very good sharpness for the price.
Yes, I agree in terms of bang for the buck this lens is quite underrated but seems capable of good results.

Nik Virrey of Zoka Coffee prepares to win a latte-art competition on Saturday at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion.
Roughly two-thirds of the photos I took this weekend at the Northwest Coffee Festival are blurry. Considering the rate at which everyone in attendance was moving, and the high probability that I was a bit jittery myself, this doesn't come as a surprise. (It is actually more surprising that a third of the photos aren't blurry.)
Nik Virrey of Zoka Coffee prepares to win a latte-art competition on Saturday at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion.
After 10 days of coffee crawling its way around Seattle's cafes, the Northwest Coffee Festival finally gathered into one tangible event at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion over the weekend, providing a unique opportunity, for anyone who cared to purchase a ticket, to meet and mingle with some of the best in the coffee business. Strollers containing bored toddlers zipped through the room at the behest of adults unaccustomed to such abundance of espresso. People clustered tightly around a center stage to observe the magical world of competitive latte art. And late into the night, Twitter experienced what must have been a disproportionate number of posts complaining about insomnia, all of them bearing the common stamp, "#nwcf." Ah, Seattle.
While coffee (the substance) is famous for its potential to bring all manner of people together in one communal activity, coffee (the business) is infamous for its tendency to isolate itself from the public through exclusive trade events, complex jargon, and (let's be honest) a reputation for elitism. In light of this, the lovely thing about the Northwest Coffee Festival was its direct opposition to isolation through an open-door policy. Beginning June 8 with the publication of the coffee-crawl map in Seattle Weekly, 48 cafes and additional venues (such as Whole Foods) began hosting events on a first-come, first-served basis, no trade experience required. From coffee tastings and pairing events to workshops on brewing and talks about Fair Trade, the multi-day, city-wide "crawl" offered opportunities for barista trainers, cafe managers, and master roasters to connect both with each other and with consumers.
A re-imagining of the flavor wheel.
But the real excitement arrived over the weekend, in a two-day event filled with live music, chocolate vendors, and lots and lots (and lots) of coffee.
Zoka Coffee was there, winning latte-art competitions.
Stumptown Coffees at the Northwest Coffee Festival.
Caffe Vita was there, showing off their manual-lever espresso machine (the old-school kind, responsible for the idea that a barista "pulls" a shot of coffee).
Victrola Coffee was there, teaching people how to home-brew like the pros.
In fact, a lot of people were there. And the one thing I continue to hear from everyone in the aftermath is how thrilling it was, not just to drink a lot of coffee, but to meet a lot of the people you often only know by reputation (or online presence)--the people who roast the coffee you love, or train the people who make your coffee how to do what they do.
For a first-year event, the Northwest Coffee Festival was a fantastic success, and apparently has every intention of being back next year. So put it on your mental calendar, and keep an eye out for a second annual event! You won't find better coffee in this city, and you'll be hard-pressed to find people who know more about what they're serving you. And for the price of a $15 ticket, it is actually impossible to find such access to live music, brewing instruction, tasting guidance, world-class coffee, chocolate samples, or coffee-cocktail demonstrations anywhere else.
Just start practicing now and make sure you know how to adjust your camera's shutter speed to compensate for increasingly shaky hands . . .
Most of my photos from the weekend look like this.

My husband and I have given it a lot of thought and I think we are happy with three. We always wanted to have our kids close together so that they can all be around the same stages together and we can get the baby phase done and over with. We were going to go with four, but after having my third horrendous first trimester, we decided this is it.
Anyone else? How many kids do you want or will you have?

If the thought of sitting in synagogue for hours on end this New Year leaves you cold, take inspiration from others who are searching for a spiritual experience in the days ahead.
Some are finding ways to connect with the synagogue service, while others are abandoning the traditional place of worship altogether to pray in alternative groups.
Indeed, many Jews in this country are looking for more than just an excuse to get together with the family and indulge in honey cake over the chagim.
● Ariel Friedlander, 45, grew up in Wembley and west London, where her father Rabbi Albert Friedlander was rabbi at Westminster Synagogue. She used to work as a sports photographer before training to be a rabbi at the Hebrew Union College in New York. She has since worked in Toronto, Virginia and New York.
According to a new survey by Bounty.com, teachers judge children's behaviour the moment they glance at the register. And Crystal, Demi, Jack and Brooklyn are deemed badly behaved according 3,000 teachers questioned for the research.
Meanwhile a child with a more more solid, traditional name like Charlotte, Elizabeth, Alexander and the ones mentioned above, is more likely to arrive on time, sit nicely and do his or her homework.
There is a new generation of British female film-makers making waves on UK TV — and many of them happen to be Jewish.
Over the past couple of years, these 30-something women have been busy making documentary films for Channel Four and the BBC on everything from fraudsters to Motown artists.
Standing prettily centre stage in a prom dress, fresh make-up and strumming on a ukulele, she is reminiscent of June Carter in Walk The Line. Like Carter, Tamara Schlesinger's music has a country feel. But her band's sound is more modern, containing influences from klezmer and calypso to Afro and Latin music.
He is the fake-tanned, cigar smoking, jewellery wearing, spoof supper club entertainer, played by comedian Steve Furst.

Diced cucumber, tomatoes and peppers — the ingredients that conjure up the classic Israeli salad. And if anywhere is known for its love of munching on raw vegetables, it is Israel. Tel Aviv's cafes serve up huge bowls of lettuce accompanied by cheese, fish or pulses, and the kibbutzim across the country have always provided a fully stocked salad bar in their dining rooms.
And while the rest of the world may enjoy cereals and toast in the morning, Israelis opt for a melange of raw vegetables for breakfast — with the obligatory cottage cheese.
It feels as if mothers can never get it right. They are branded either over-protective or too liberal by online forums and mothering websites like mumsnet. They are criticised for allowing their babies to eat and sleep "on demand", or for implementing too rigorous a schedule. They are considered monsters for advocating "controlled crying" or regarded as too lax for cuddling their baby the minute the little mite starts to whimper.
Offend Vanessa Hidary on a date and you run the risk of a scathing verbal attack — in the form of a witty, fast-paced poem.
In her 2003 poem, Hebrew Mamita, Hidary describes how a hapless suitor remarked that she did not "look Jewish". At the time she said nothing, but later she realised the remark was supposed to be a compliment.

When it comes to political spin, the Israelis have a lot to learn from the Palestinians.
This is the view of marketing expert Jonathan Gabay, who has spent 30 years in advertising and whose new book, Soul Traders, looks at the impact of propaganda on popular culture.
This week's episode of Casualty 1909 — the BBC's medical drama set in The London Hospital 100 years ago — focuses on the Jewish patients.
Recently arrived Eastern European immigrants and more assimilated Cockney Jews muck in together in the hospital's male "Hebrew ward", where, separated from other patients (at their request), they can talk Yiddish, eat kosher and pray together.
While I am not in favour of women being made to wear restrictive, all enveloping clothing that covers their faces I can't say I agree with Nicholas Sarkozy and his desire to ban the burkha.
In a free society men and women should be able to choose whatever they want to wear however bonkers or impractical that might be.
If he argues that the item was thought up by men as a way to opress women, banning it won't change men's attitude. And if the burkha means women are allowed to leave the house at all - then it must be a good thing.
Ever wondered why Jewish-style lox tastes better than Scottish smoked salmon? Len Lawson has the answer — and the 87-year-old should know, as he has been cutting salmon for almost 30 years.
Mr Lawson attributes the delicate flavour of heimishe lox to its wafer-thin slicing. Because of this, the fat rapidly melts in the mouth and the flavour is let loose before chewing.
Last week we reported that teen sensation Miley Cyrus was dating a certain Jewish actor, Gregg Sulkin.
But it looks like the Hannah Montanna star has already found another nubile English star to text, email and Twitter with.
According to reports British singer Steve Rushton, who appeared as the lead guitarist in Miley's band in the Disney film of Hannah Montana is her new boyfriend.

They arrive at a synagogue and while the rabbi discusses the Talmud with similarly aged and bearded clerics, his Asian carer sits to one side, singing along to Abba's The Winner Takes It All on his personal stereo.
As culture clashes go, it is a fairly strange one. But what makes it even stranger is that the Filipino, Chiqui Diokno, is a drag artist in his spare time.

What's in a Name?
Art.sy, the much-hyped online startup, has a Syrian domain name. Could it be violating U.S. sanctions?
Art.sy is a slick, fine-art website that aims to digitize all of the world's artworks. It uses artificial intelligence to guess people's artistic preferences and guide them toward art that is similar and for sale (it earns a commission for every work bought through the site). The company calls itself a "Pandora for the fine art world," and it has drawn millions of dollars in investment from such high profile "angel" investors as Wendi Murdoch (wife of Rupert Murdoch), Eric Schmidt (Google's executive chairman), Jack Dorsey (co-founder of Twitter), Peter Thiel, (co-founder of PayPal), and Dasha Zhukova (gallerist and girlfriend of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich). It lists among its advisers the world's pre-eminent art dealer, Larry Gagosian.
However, none of these boldface names appear to have asked how the company came upon its own name. Perhaps they should have, because ".sy" is the top-level domain suffix for the Syrian Arab Republic, and .sy domain names can only be purchased and renewed from a Syrian government entity run by a member of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. By maintaining its undoubtedly cute domain name, Art.sy appears to have been breaking United States sanctions against the war-torn country.
According to an email from a company representative, Art.sy's founder and CEO, the 25-year-old wunderkind Carter Cleveland, bought the .sy domain suffix because it "perfectly captures Art.sy's mission and accessible character, and is the shortest english spell-able domain that begins with the word 'art' making it perfect for sharing on social networks." However, the need for a catchy brand name that would work well within the online worlds of Facebook and Twitter seems to have blinded Art.sy to an offline world of civil war and international politics.
Domain names are delegated by domain name registrars. In 2009, when Cleveland bought the Art.sy domain name, the .sy suffix was managed by the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (STE), a branch of the Syrian government overseen by Dr. Imad Al-Sabouni, the minister of communication and technology and a member of Assad's Cabinet.
Cleveland used a third party to buy the name Art.sy. According to receipts provided by Art.sy, this was Marcaria.com, a seller of international domain names with headquarters in the British Virgin Islands. Marcaria uses a network of law firms spread across the world to buy up names from local domain name registrars. A Marcaria representative told me that to buy a .sy domain name, Art.sy would have had to sign over power of attorney to Marcaria's legal proxy in Syria—the Karawani Law Firm of Damascus—who would have then sent the relevant funds to the STE. In early 2011, authority for Syrian domain name subscriptions was taken over by the National Agency for Network Services (NANS), another Syrian government entity, which directed that all registration and renewal payments be made to an account at the Commercial Bank of Syria.
Although the company's money was going to fund a known dictator and U.S.-designated sponsor of terrorism, it was not, as yet, breaking any laws, because Syria was not yet under sanctions. However, with the rise of the Arab Spring and Assad's bloody clampdowns on his population, on Aug. 10, 2011, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at the U.S. Treasury Department designated the Commercial Bank of Syria a Specially Designated National (SDN) and froze all property and assets of the bank. This prohibited U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions including payments, transfers, and "other dealings" in which the bank had an interest. A week later President Obama announced Executive Order 13582, which prohibited "investment in Syria by a United States person, wherever located."
Art.sy thought the timing of its purchase made it immune to these rulings—a position the company still maintains. They had renewed their domain name for two years through Marcaria for the sum of $800 in April 2011, well before sanctions were in place. However, NANS itself does not offer domain renewal for longer than one year at a time. To renew a domain name ending in .sy, a yearly subscription has to be paid. Although Art.sy thought they had renewed for two years, the NANS policy suggests that Marcaria was holding Art.sy's money and paying the Karawani Law Firm (which was in turn paying NANS) on an annual basis. With annual subscription fees being paid to NANS through the Commercial Bank of Syria, Art.sy appears to have been, quite by accident, breaking both the OFAC ruling and the executive order.
Mark Dubowitz, a sanctions specialist who has advised both Congress and the Obama administration, admits it can be tough for U.S. companies that are trying to figure out the peculiarities and nuances of U.S. sanctions laws. But Dubowitz, who is also the executive director of the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has little sympathy for Art.sy's situation: "If you're doing business with Syria and you've got a legal counsel and if he's worth the money you're paying him, the first thing he should say is 'Look, you're doing business with Syria, we've got sanctions against Syria, I've got to get you a commerce license.' "
The Treasury Department issues specific licenses to U.S. companies that want to deal with countries under sanctions on a case-by-case basis. Art.sy does not claim to have been issued one.
"Clearly," says Dubowitz, "every company should know that if you're doing business with Syria or Iran, these are countries that are considered state sponsors of terror and are on the State Department list. ... To call your company by that name, it's cute, but it's not that cute when you consider the country whose name you are using is responsible for killing Americans. I think if you work in the technology sector or work in the internet you should know that buying a domain name is doing business with that country."
Syria has been on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism since 1979.
In response to Slate's request for comment, a representative for Art.sy said the company's actions were lawful:
We have made no payment for our domain name rights since before the relevant sanction's effective date. We made a payment to Marcaria in April, 2011 with no awareness of, and accordingly no control over, the payment collection practices of NANS, or any transactions involving Marcaria and NANS.

Hi everyone and welcome to The Wall
This is a space to share whatever is on your mind about Microsoft Premier Support UK!
We constantly monitor The Wall so feel free give any feedback, start a new discussion or contribute to an existing one. Got a question for Premier Support? Would you like to see a particular workshop scheduled? Would you like to let others know about a great experience with Premier?
We'd love to hear from you so post it on The Wall.

I would just like to say how impressed I and my team have been with Ben Cooper (SQL DSE) since he has been with us
Ben has provided an excellent DSE service to us in the SQL team and has manage to resolve everything we have thrown at him. He is always enthusiastic and keen to get stuck into any SQL issues we have had and where this has gone outside of SQL server he has made sure the right Microsoft people are engaged and then tracked their involvement to ensure we are satisfied.
I could list a number of times Ben has managed to get to the bottom of an issue that has stumped us. In addition a key benefit to us has been having Ben 'onsite' as it has meant that not only has the problem resolution time been reduced but further knowledge transfer to the team has also been delivered (which had it of been done via a support call we would not have had that opportunity).
On my request he's also presented a number of key brown bag sessions which have been well received by the team and further to that he has also put together a number of bespoke 'how to' docs which has meant we (LBG SQL DBA's ) now have easy to follow Microsoft written docs for performing repeatable tasks
Nick Player
Hi Nick
Thanks very much for the feedback, it's much appreciated.
Ben Pearce (not Cooper) :)
In the UK we have approximately 80 Dedicated Supportability Engineers (DSE) constantly engaged in all
DSE Support
At Centrica, we have been growing the use of SQL Server throughout the business with new dynamic projects requiring both HA and DR at a superior level including the deployment of SharePoint 2010.
This process has been greatly assisted through the MS DSE (Rob Carrol) who has been available to advise us on the best options available to us as a business including having a clear understanding of our operating constraints and business specific requirements.
Rob, providing both a quick route into specialised resources has been able to advise and ratify our designs during his time with the business and provided a solid foundation for us to begin working towards.
Through this successful engagement with the DSE we are now in the process of extending the time available to Centrica as well presenting new challenges to advance the SQL estate and its maturity within the business as a whole.
We recently took advantage of our SA benefits to have an ADRAP carried out by a Microsoft DSE (Carl Harrison) and I just want to put down in writing how impressed I was with both Carl's knowledge and the depth the ADRAP goes into.
I've been working with AD since it was introduced in Windows Server 2000 and I thought I had a good understanding of some of the finer workings deep within AD but Carl is an absolute guru and goes so deep into AD its scary!
The report produced by the engagement is just as in-depth and doesn't just state what needs attention, but why, how to address it and suggests what priority we should give to each action. In addition, Carl went through the report with us to further explain why some area's of our AD infrastructure need remediation and how to do this.
I cannot recommend the ADRAP highly enough - it has been a very worthwhile excercise for us and we have a license to use the tools Carl used for the next 18 months to verify our efforts as we address those issues raised.
One of our customers recently experienced an apparently random performance problem with SharePoint which was extremely difficult to pinpoint. Over successive days, we had on site help from Yusuf, Sergey and Godwin. The problem was identified within 7 or 8 working hours from the time the team arrived on site.
Having identified the problem, and implementing a quick workaround, the team have continued to support us with looking into longer term fix.
Each of the team members played a key part
- Yusuf helped to narrow the field by reviewing what we had already looked at, cross checking it and eliminating many potential causes.
- Sergey took the narrowed field and used his excellent diagnostic skills to help us identify the cause and produce an interim workaround.
- Godwin worked with us to evaluate potential longer term fixes, helping us to rule out several options before we settled on the one we all agreed was the best fix going forward.
The result was a satisfied partner, and a satisfied customer.
All in all, a most satisfactory engagement. Thanks to all those involved, including those in the back office that don't normally get a mention.
Hi Alan,
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated. We will be sure to pass your comments onto our colleagues in Premier Field Engineering.
Thanks & regards

Yesterday I started spotting (only notice it when it wipe after I pee ....sorry if TMI). I have had cramps since Saturday night as well. I thought it was just something I ate, but since I have spotting now too, I am super worried. I have never had spotting before in my pregnancy and DH and I haven't had sex in a week, so it isn't that. I called the on call dr this morning and he told me to take 2 tylenol and rest. He also said my dr will likely want to see me tomorrow, but unless it gets worse there isn't much to do now. I am still freaked out about it and have been a mess all day. Has anyone had bleeding/spotting start so late??

I went through a similar situation at 14 weeks. It was very scary, but I'm happy to say that everything was okay. Like you I called my doctor and went in the next day and she did a physical exam and said everything looked okay. She thought it was an irritated cervix spot for whatever reason and put some medicine on on the spot. This caused some additional spotting, which made me nervous so she ordered an ultrasound the next day... I was very relieved to see my baby girl and all was okay. The spotting went away and I did not have anymore problems and I'm 22 weeks now! Try not to stress and hopefully everything will be okay!
I was given some good but sad advice. I was spotting when i was 10wks and i called and the lady got me an apt for the following day.
THis is advice.
She said dont stress no point. IF i was miscarrying i couldnt stop it anyways and if everything was fine no point in worrying .
I did end up having a miscarriage but that does mean u are. many women spot while pregnant and it is very very normal. Just relax and wait to see what the doctor says
momma to a beautiful blue eyed princess, Proud SAHM, I dont work because I dont want to so HA!.
Docs thinking blue 8-22-10
Thank you. I have been trying to relax and take it easy today. Not so easy while worrying, but there isn't anything I can do. I will call my dr. first thing in the morning and hopefully get an appt. Spotting hasn't increased and is more brownish, so I am trying to be optomistic.

I had spotting at 12 weeks, which was mostly pink and brown, but I did have some red blood as well. My doctor had me come in for an ultrasound and the baby was fine, but I was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa. Take it easy and let us know what you find out.
Terran� 12/3/04
I had the same exact thing at 11 weeks. It only happened one day and went away. My dr didn't see me until my 13 week appt because they said unless I was bleeding heavily and/or doubled over in pain everything was fine. It turned out that everything was fine. I know it's hard, but try not to worry. Be sure to relax! The dr also said not to lift anything heavy, not even a laundry basket, for a few days.
Bryce - born 1/5/10 at 31w3d - 2lbs 8.5oz (IUGR and Reverse Flow). Spent 51 days in the NICU.
I had spotting around week 6 and my doctor told me to rest but not get overly concerned about what I was doing because if the baby is going to miscarry it's going to happen and there isn't much you can do about it. But then had a real scare at week 13. I starting actually bleeding fresh blood in the middle of the night and went to the emergency room. My doctor met me there and did an u/s. The baby looked fine and the bleeding stopped about 2 hrs. after it started, she figured my placenta might have moved. Now I am 18 weeks and am finding out the sex of the baby on Fri! I just want you to know that even with spotting/bleeding problems your preg. can still be just fine.

Try not to worry. I spotted at 7 weeks and then 15 weeks. I am now 34 weeks with our precious little boy! Best of luck to you!
I lost the baby tuesday morning.
Thanks for your help.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I too, spotted, and yes, i called the doctor, and yes, they saw me and eveyrthing was ok.
They tells us that most of the time we worry over nothing, and it's not true.
Again, I'm sorry about your loss. I'll be praying for you.

RBNZ Governor Comments on Bank Profit Data
4 December 2012
Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler today commented on bank profitability data that was released recently to the Green Party.
The Bank also released the data for the period 20092011, which shows returns on equity and assets of New Zealand banks appear to be in line with other advanced economies (excluding euro area countries).
Mr Wheeler said the Bank commissioned the data before the Finance and Expenditure Committee hearing into the Bank's Financial Stability Report on 7 November. However, the analysis was not complete at the time of the hearing, at which he was asked about bank profits.
"My response to the Select Committee represented my understanding of the information available at that time. Our analysis was completed after the hearing and we released it to the Green Party in response to their request, which followed the hearing. We are now releasing it publicly."
Mr Wheeler said different measurement practices around the world, including or excluding tax and extraordinary items, meant that international comparisons of bank profit figures are not straightforward. …

Local man denies three theft chargesMarch 07,2013Local man denies
3 larceny charges
A Mount Holly man was jailed on $100,000 bail Wednesday for allegedly threatening violence while demanding money from three local businesses.
Todd E. Bussino Jr., 29, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to three felony counts of larceny from a person.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail for Bussino, who was taken to the Rutland jail after the hearing.
He was arrested Monday by Vermont State Police, who charged him with robbing the Cumberland Farms convenience store on Main Street in Wallingford on Friday afternoon. Rutland City Police charged him with robbing the Walgreens pharmacy on Woodstock Avenue and the Burger King on North Main Street early Saturday.
No one was hurt in any of the incidents and no weapon was displayed, police said, though they said Bussino did threaten to shoot a clerk who followed him from Cumberland Farms.
Police said he was filmed by a security camera at Cumberland Farms and left his jacket at Burger King.
Police said Bussino admitted to the incidents and said he was trying to get money to buy crack cocaine.MORE IN This Just In

Annie Ate-a-ton by 0pik-0ortWatch
©2014-2016 0pik-0ort
Commission for l904 of Annie Edison from the TV series, Community. Community is one of my all-time favourite series and I was stoked to work on this. I bit off a bit more than I could chew with the background, but I think it turned out alright (aside from missing odd details like Troy's trophies and a lamp but I'm sure most people don't care).
She's beautiful.
thats truly amazing, 10/10
How stuffed she is!
All the best,
All the best,
She looks so cute, with a belly to match!
that shading n blendings great
and those chip bags are done superbly
i have found a great guy, u ty
and those chip bags are done superbly
i have found a great guy, u ty
Kick ass picture but who is Annie Edison
Oh, wow! Hot!
I haven't seen a lot of Community (what I have is brilliant, though. Need to get on that) but this is ridiculously good.
The art style just looks damned nice, her belly looks simply magnificent and her concerned expression sells the whole thing. It's takes a lot to make such a simple, overdone type of image and make it stand out so beautifully.

And yet, she's still hungry...
great work man
she looks stuffed to the max
amazing job
amazing job
Not knowing the show, or the actress, I can only say that this is very well done. Her face is striking, and there is so much, in two senses, to like about that exaggerated belly. Of course, having eaten that ton, she doesn't look as if she'd get up easily, let alone move around well. I'm smiling as I write this.
Go Annie Go
do more! Britta, shirley, maybe annie and annie kim having an eat off!
That layer of softness at the bottom is just perfect.
I want the kiss that lovely tummy
So cute. I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!!
You, sir, are a hero.
Very nice!
love the boobs and booty.
This is a great drawing, I really like all the detail, not to mention her magnificent belly! Very well done!
Ned Fox
Lovin' that little squish at the bottom of her tummy
Wow, outstanding work!
Actually you could blame the missing stuff on what Troy packed.
Never seen the show, but this makes me want to check it out.
This almost looks real lol. Great job
Beautiful drawimg
Great work as usual. Wish you would have made her barefoot, but still never the less.
She looks amazing and great attention to details throughout. Nicely Done! ^^
Great job! Would love to see a Britta picture too! (Course that'll probably only happen via commission...and im broke )
Community itself is pretty funny. I just can't bear to watch it anymore after Pierce and Troy were written out though.
I haven't seen any of season 5 yet, but it's a real downer that Troy's gone (what happens to Troy and Abed in the mooooooorning?). I don't think I'd miss Pierce so much, though.
I know, no one misses Pierce haha. But he was my favorite character on the show. Troy was second. So I can't even really bother with Community anymore. And I assume it's going to be far to focused on Jeff/Annie/Britta and forget about Shirley and Abed. Then again, I never really cared for Shirley and Abed was only really funny with Troy.
nice shading and love the little details like her ripping pants.
The belly demands more laughter from the audience. Seriously though, if there's one thing that you can hoist up high and proclaim to the masses, it's that you make stellar backgrounds for the expansion community.
Woo! I love it!
wow i really lke this
Did a commission of Annie for l904 myself, yours is so much better though
There definitely needs to be more Annie expansion. Maybe some Britta too
There definitely needs to be more Annie expansion. Maybe some Britta too
Your Annie commission is really cute though! And I used it as a size reference xD
I love community. This is awesome.
One of your best works ever! Love the little bottom roll where her legs meet her belly and the rips in the pants...fantastic attention to detail. The scene came together brilliantly! My highest compliments!
you need the Dean chasing Jeff Winger man lol. No ya dont, Annie is nuff. AWESOME work on this.
as soon as I seen this pic, my jaw droped almost a mile 0-0 woh. this is like... just WOW!
Excellent work!
im very impressed by your backgrounds your figures are always amazing but its your backgrounds that really set the tone and mood. great work.
Wow! I'm not familiar with Community but you did an absolutely amazing job on this art piece. The belly looks fantastically perfect and I love how it's sitting on her lap like that. Also all the food remnants left over really adds to how much she's been eating.
Really great job this one of my, if not most, favorite things you've done!

Soldiers participate in royal reenactment in Suwon
March 31, 2011
By 1st Lt. Austin Liu, 6-52nd Air Defense Artillery, 35th ADA Brigade Public Affairs
Story Highlights
- Soldiers took part in a royal reenactment during the Hwaseong Fortress Spring Opening Ceremony March 27.
- More than 450 South Korean and U.S. Soldiers participated in the parade as King Jeonjo's loyal military guards.
- A similar royal procession took place over 200 years ago during the original opening ceremony for the Hwaseong Fortress.

SUWON, South Korea - Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery, along with members of the Republic of Korea Army 700th Special Operation Force, participated in the historical reenactment of a Joseon-era royal procession during the Hwaseong Fortress Spring Opening Ceremony here March 27.
To the steady beat of war drums, the Soldiers donned Joseon-era ceremonial attire and weapons and accompanied the Joseon King Jeonjo as he entered the Hwaseong Fortress Main Citadel to greet a crowd of thousands.
More than 450 ROK and U.S. Soldiers participated in the parade as King Jeonjo's loyal military guards, traveling from the main citadel to the Hwaseong Hangung (Summer Palace) where the King and Queen Mother resided.
A similar royal procession took place here over 200 years ago during the original opening ceremony for the Hwaseong Fortress.
"As we were marching in our traditional armor, surrounded by historical buildings and ancient music, I almost felt as if we have been transported back in time," said Pfc. Diante Pullum, assigned to headquarters battery, 6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion.
The Mississippi native continued, "It was a surreal experience and a tremendous honor to be able to wear the uniform of the King's Royal Guards ... back in those days, only the best and brightest can stand so close to the king."
Hwaseong Fortress was built by King Jeonjo in 1796. The fortress consisted of four imposing citadels, a more than three-and-a-half-mile-long perimeter wall, various gun towers and turrets and a beautiful summer palace at its center.
At the time of its construction, Hwaseong Fortress was considered one of the most advanced defensive structures in Asia.
As a testament to its historical importance, UNESCO designated the Hwaseong Fortress as a World Heritage Site in 1997. Since then, the annual parade has become the crown jewel of Suwon City, attracting tens of thousands of tourists each year.
"We have always invited real Soldiers to don the uniforms of the Joseon warriors during these parades to lend an aura of authenticity," said Kwak Suh-keung, the chief producer of the parade and a history advisor. "After all, only they [the Soldiers] can know the true meaning of selfless service as the Joseon Royal Guards would have."
The Hwaseong parade is known for its strict adherence to historical accuracy. From the wardrobes and instruments to the position of the marchers, every detail has been faithfully recreated based on historical archives and paintings.
But what thousands of spectators found even more interesting than King Jeonjo himself is the sight of westerners in traditional Joseon-era attire.
Kwak went on, "Recently, we have also invited U.S. Soldiers to participate in these parades ... we want to announce to the world that the city of Suwon is embracing all those who are fighting for its freedom and protecting its citizens."
The Iron Horse Battalion has been a regular participant of the Hwaseong Parade since 2009.
"The crowd this afternoon is simply amazing," said Spc. Wade Myers, a participant of the parade from Headquarters Battery, 6-52nd Air Defense Artillery Battalion.
The local spectators, curious at the sight of the westerners, cheered on the U.S. Soldiers as they marched by. Most stood in the distance and waved while some approached the marchers and expressed their personal gratitude with handshakes.
Myers said, "Above the fun and colorful reenactment, I truly enjoyed the interaction with the local nationals ... I really feel like we are making a direct impact in these nice folks lives this afternoon."
