In Rod's pasttime he enjoyed family gatherings, cooking and barbecuing good food, along with laughter and good conversation. He enjoyed hunting, shooting trap, fishing, four-wheeling and several other activities. He was a big kid at heart always playing in the dirt and building structures, giving him a great sense of accomplishment along with great products to clients. His fun-loving personality along with his gift of gab will be greatly missed.

We've seen some interesting developments as recent elections brought in new leadership. For example, both the city and county have taken a close look at the KTSC and are now shopping that function around to see if there are better ideas. As a result, the KTSC made dramatic leadership changes and today announced they are changing their name to better reflect what they should have been doing. The threat of competition seems to have gotten their attention.
Should the new leadership take a similar look at the Chamber? Are taxpayers (and members and donors) getting an acceptable return on their investment? Is there a better way?
What if there were a different type of chamber organization that operated on a less partisan, more progressive and cost-effective (and measurable) approach that was focused more on jobs and less on protecting the special interests of the wealthy powers that be?
There are apparently rumblings in the business community that it might be time to consider a different approach. But how would it work? Who would organize it? Who would fund it? Is it even possible, or are the powers that be too politically entrenched?
We mentioned yesterday a couple of recent stories regarding the Chamber. The first was about inquiries into the Knoxville Chamber's spending on advocacy for (or against) policy issues, and whether any taxpayer money was involved. The second story, an apparent response to the first, was about the Chamber setting up a PAC to keep private and public funds separate.
Should the Chamber be involved in political activism? They say yes, it is their "inherent responsibility to take positions for or against any policy" that they feel would be "onerous to the business community and to the growth of the area." What if they take it a step further, and support (or oppose) candidates for office using their new PAC?
Shouldn't their "inherent responsibility" be jobs, jobs and more jobs, recruiting new business and supporting local businesses and startups to promote economic growth? Most folks would have a hard time naming any recent accomplishments in that regard.
Further, how does a local chamber of commerce get the monopoly on speaking for every business in their community, and the taxpayer funding that goes along with it, even when the businesses and taxpayers may not agree with their position?
Many 501(c)(3)s create separate (c)(4)s, using the latter organizations to conduct more "pointed" advocacy up to and including endorsing candidates for elected office.
This being the case, I don't personally take exception to the KACP doing the same.
HOWEVER, I can't immediately think of any such duo for which the (c)(3) entity receives taxpayer monies?
For me, that KACP might continue to receive taxpayer monies is the pivotal issue here. I don't think that they should.
A duo
One such example is in Nashville. The similarities are not coincidental.
Nashville Chamber's SuccessPAC
The state chamber also has a PAC. Chattanooga's chamber has no PAC, but there is a local Chattanooga PAC that serves much of the same purpose as the nashville chamber's SuccessPAC and that the Knoxville chamber anticipates serving.
Edit: I forgot to clarify: the Nashville Chamber receives $300,000 annually from Nashville/Davidson County Metro.
One such example is in
One such example is in Nashville. The similarities are not coincidental.
Nashville Chamber's SuccessPAC
The school board's District 5 race was a "difficult decision," the SuccessPAC's board chair Darrell Freeman said in an announcement last Friday that gave endorsements to Porter and Elissa Kim, a Teach For America executive who has support among Nashville's budding charter school community.
No. Like so many of us,
No. Like so many of us, theirs is a nested system of responsibility/responsibilities. The human race, the planet, the nation, the state, the city, the business community/environment is a gross ordering of the nesting environment. It makes no sense whatsoever to believe that they can take action or hold positions that are detrimental to the larger communities simply because they appear to be beneficial when you look at them with narrowly focused blinders.

Although the findings certainly aren't descriptive of any single, specific individual, recently concluded, long-term research finds a strong positive correlation between IQ and income. The correlation between IQ and wealth is much weaker, if there is any at all.

With a record of success, they wouldn't need a PAC
Does the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce have a PAC? They do have a proven track record of success in relocating and recruiting business and industry to Hamilton County, whereas Knox County and the Knoxville business community have nothing to show for the millions shelled out time and time again to evey gimmick, promotion, and much balleyhooed drive that the Chamber can come up with.
In my opinion, from the outside looking in, Mike Edwards is a rube, a hick, and a cornball and talks like he has a mouth full of marbles and talks about everything the media will listen to and he has recruited nothing to Knox County in the last 3 years and has recruited nothing but Green Mountain Coffee to Knox County in the past 10 years. All of his gradiosity and pomposity generously steer business and industry directly to other counties and why he is still in this position as chairman is beyond anybody's comprehension.
The emperor has no clothes and the Super Chamber has no record of success in any of their endeavors other than to cajol and finess money out of existing local businesses and local government for their largess, their huge salaries, their perks, their cars, their BCBS health insurance, their matching 401(k) (why does a not for profit need an employee 401(k)?)
If you want a litmus test of why Knoxville cannot attract for profit employers, good jobs, good benefits, living wages, with success they can plow back into the local arts and ammenities, look no further than the Super Chamber and all 40 somthing employees and you'll see why Knoxville is passed over time and time again.
Thanks for that edit, EC. That was going to be my next question to you.
Meanwhile, Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) Superintendent Jesse Register is actively soliciting charter schools via RFPs.
Then there are all these other support services schools have traditionally provided in-house, but which MNPS is outsourcing/privatizing:
WRT education policy, it sure looks like the Chamber is getting its way in Nashville...
Biggest problems with the chamber are the people running it
Edwards ascended to the throne to get him out of the mayor's race when Haslam ran for term one. His only qualification to head the SuperChamber was he wanted to be mayor, which would explain the dismal record of business recruitments and relocations to Knox County. Edwards speaks on everything as is competent and qualified in nothing, furthering the problems in the Chamber's role.
Corporate recruiters and relocation specialists don't even bother to call on Knoxville anymore, all Edwards knows to show him are wiped out strip centers and overpriced and abandoned HolRob space. Just ask the relocation people associated with the Loews Hotel back office and the Pillsbury law firm location search firm (which both ended up in downtown Nashville) about Edwards and his bag of hammers and you'll quickly understand why Knoxville remains behind the 8 ball.
...long-term research finds a strong positive correlation between IQ and income
From the KV sidebar: WBIR reports local program feeds 68,000 stupid children in Knoxville/Knox County this summer (but Knoxville Area Chamber Partnership declines to reconsider its legislative agenda to denounce living wage and attack AHCA).
Flaming, here.
Feeding hungry kids
If those kids are hungry they should go out and get jobs, by gawd, so they can drive to Walmart for groceries.
stupid children?
Did it really say 68,000 stupid children and not low income children? Calling children stupid, just because they are hungry is plainly stupid.
First and foremost, let me
First and foremost, let me say I work for the Chamber so I am inherently biased.
To answer Randy's question, the mission of the Knoxville Chamber is to promote regional economic prosperity. Jobs is certainly a part of that. However, it's also making sure the regulatory environment in Knox County is competitive with other areas in the country to do business and attract business.
We don't speak for every business in the community but the Chamber does have more than 2,000 member organizations that feel strongly enough about what we do to invest in membership. Personally, I believe that qualifies the organization to speak to certain business related issues.
The day-to-day economic development and business expansion is handled by Innovation Valley. Innovation Valley operates under a separate memorandum of understanding with Knox County and leads a regional approach to economic development. Their duties include marketing the area, site visits with prospective industries, and visiting with existing industries to facilitate growth.
You may remember the VW distribution center that's broken ground in Roane County --- their first call was to Knox County. Because Knox County didn't have the land necessary for the facility, Innovation Valley was able to push them to their site in Roane County.
I can certainly understand the political arguments that go on against the Chamber. If you have a political opinion, surely someone will disagree with you. On issues the Chamber has taken a position on, our board of directors has voted on whether the organization should advocate or endorse. In the case of the school budget, the board voted unanimously to support the Board of Education's plan. This board of directors is made up of private business owners, many of which are small business owners and entrepreneurs.
None of the Chamber's advocacy efforts have been done using public money.
I'm more than willing to answer any questions and will check the thread periodically in the next few days so long as the dialogue remains civil.
It is a ridiculous assertion that there is not enough land zoned Industrial in Knox County for businesses to re-locate or pick Knoxville. Attention prospective industries: if you're looking to relocate to Knoxville, don't call the Chamber of Commerce! Call a real estate agent instead. Or better yet, go to kaarmls.com, and look for yourselves. There are HUNDREDS of Industrial properties for sale or lease inside Knox County--and I found them on kaarmls.com...it took me 5 minutes. It's ridiculous that the Chamber tells us it is necessary to convert our green spaces into industrial parks just because they're too lazy to market what's already available. The Chamber as it is isn't just partisan, it's like a game of political Dungeons and Dragons for the 12 unelected, rich, old white guys who run Knoxville.
If you'd like proof related
If you'd like proof related to where the county money goes, these two .pdf files cover the first three quarters of the past fiscal year. Q4 will be available by the end of the month.
Chamber: (link...)
Innovation Valley: (link...)
Each quarter these reports are filed with the county. The Chamber has also opened up it's records to any commissioner or county officials who would like more details, like exact receipts for expenses or invoices.
Sorry that's "its". Don't
Sorry that's "its". Don't want to give more ammo about our intelligence level!
Where's the rest?
On the forms, I see no reference to the EMIS contract with Knox County Schools. Where's the forms showing all public monies received?
Sorry, Anthony, this is why we need an alternative Chamber--one whose mission to to recruit jobs, not dabble in politics and partisan issues.

103,790 page views in the last thirty days. Seems to me if the chamber was serious, they'd be buying some advertising on this site and have a focused message. Just sayin.
Did it really say 68,000 stupid children and not low income children? Calling children stupid, just because they are hungry is plainly stupid.
Sylvia, that was a sarcastic comment on my part (in response to the findings of that study EconGal shared) and I should have flagged it as such.
EconGal, I didn't mean that I was "flaming" at you, either.
I'm "flaming" WRT the audacity of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in characterizing themselves as White Knights sweeping in to rescue America's poor children from a "failing" public education system, when their own website makes clear their true goal of ensuring that American businesses profit from taxpayer monies earmarked for schools AND when their every legislative focus (anti-minimum wage increases, anti-living wage support, anti-Affordable Health Care Act) will only exacerbate our national problem of a child poverty rate exceeding that of any industrialized nation on the planet, this being the root problem plaguing our schools that they are nevertheless content to ignore--or worse.
Forgive that run-on sentence but I had a lot to pack into it and I believe you'll find it to be properly punctuated.
In reviewing the Knoxville
In reviewing the Knoxville Area Chamber website, I found some interesting tidbits.
The Workforce Blog and New link most recent entry is dated Feb. 2012.
The chamber's document with ROI for Knox County has some misleading information. In just checking one 2010 ROI for Knox County, the document shows Melaleuca (The Wellness Company) adding 500 jobs to the area. However, the 2010 KNS article indicates 4-5 people would be hired initially, with the company's CEO speculating 45-50 people would be hired each year, reaching a workforce of about 500 within 10 years. Good marketing on the chambers part, but can it really be used as a ROI since the goal has not yet been met? In addition, including Scripps Network as a ROI might be a little much in that Scripps has a heavy presence here with a large campus in West Knoxville. Would their expansion have anything to do with efforts by the chamber?
The "Official Relocation Publication of the Knoxville Chamber" lists the top 10 employers, which include government, hospitals, Wal-Mart, and Food City. Of the top 10 manufacturers listed, six are not in Knox County (1 in Oak Ridge, 3 in Blount, 1 in Monroe, and 1 in Loudon). Does the Knoxville chamber receive funds from these other counties?
It's interesting how when you click on the Area Map from the chamber's Community page, the central point of the map is the University of Tennessee. As we used to say, the University of Tennessee, home of Knoxville. Didn't really think it was that way any more. When you use the map tools to select businesses by category, using Banks or Banking & Financial Institutions, the results show Clayton Bank and Bank of America, none of the other 30 banks listed on a separate chamber page as chamber partners/members.
Through the years chamber of commerce events have amused me. Disclosure, I've never been involved in a chamber of commerce in Tennessee, only in Florida. However, it appears chamber events are the same in both places. On Aug. 15th, the chamber has a Bright Ideas: Be Seen and Heard event. "The success ratio for cold calling is 1 in 20. How would you like to increase your close ratio to 1 in 2?" I sure would. Not going to happen.
Then, there is the Power 30 Speed Networking event. "It is like speed dating, except it is for building business relationships." Attendees will have 1.5 hours to meet 15 other chamber members for 5 minutes. A 30 minute reception will follow.
Not that either of these events are completely useless. They actually might be helpful to small business owners. If someone comes out of either event feeling better or with one new learning tool or contact, it could be beneficial. Owning a small business is hard work and sometimes owners need to get away, need to explore (possible) new opportunities and experiences, even if it just a social opportunity.
I could go on. Chambers of commerce have always been a little mystifying as to their true goal.
Well Anthony Welsch, you
Well Anthony Welsch, you could start by explaining "Chamber Math".
Did you all learn this new math from KTSC, or did you teach them? Fussy math and sticking your nose under the tent on the big political pushes makes people wonder if you should get any of our tax money. None of you are elected. So when you stick your nose in the people's business you should expect some push back.
Was that civil enough?
I agree, Bizgrrl. Lots of misleading "information" on the Chamber's website. I think it's crazy there's no list of their Board of Directors. At least I can't find it.
The Board of Directors is
The Board of Directors is listed, just a little buried. Use the "The Chamber" link at the near top of the page, then select the "Membership" link in the box at the left of the page, then select "Boards and Committees" in the box at the left of the page (it looks like a sub-set of Events but it is not). Then select the "Click here for a list of the current Board of Directors", which brings up a pdf file.
KNS report on chamber
KNS report on chamber finances
Basically the same info posted above by Anthony (a couple of one page summary forms) plus a little more explanation of what some of the the line items were for.
Some other questions KNS and commissioners might consider:
• What were the results of the spending (jobs created, companies recruited, businesses expanded, etc.)
• Are there records of spending for lobbying, advertising and promotion, staff time, etc. related to advocacy such as Midway, Ridgetop, School Budget, etc.?
Randy, Here is the ROI
Here is the ROI document for Innovation Valley.
You're right when you said there hasn't been much activity from large new companies moving into Knox County. A big part of that struggle has been finding suitable land for prospects; that's where the Midway debate comes in. However, Innovation Valley has worked with existing businesses to help facilitate a number of expansions as the .pdf illustrates.
As the documents posted earlier show, public money isn't spent on lobbying or advocacy efforts. As an example, with the hillside/ridgetop issue, the Chamber used funding from it's membership base at the direction of the Chamber's board to advocate. That included outside legal aide.
The school budget issue was also paid for with membership dollars. In fact, we've detailed the specific contributions that paid for ad-time associated with our (and Support our Schools) efforts. You likely saw them in News Sentinel and WATE stories:
Thanks for taking the time to look this over. I know we're not going to see completely eye-to-eye but I appreciate your time.
All "jobs" are not the same.
If we need more "jobs" and want public money to help attract and keep them, we could specify what kinds of jobs will improve the community. Should they pay well above the poverty level? Have health insurance and pensions? Be safe and clean? Attract young people? Does the chamber have a position on these issues?
The national chamber would want these jobs to be non-union, which would tend to work against "yes" answers to the earlier questions. Does the local chamber agree with the rightwing positions of the national? If not, why are they affiliated? If so, why do we give them public support?
Yellowdog, You're right about
You're right about the U.S. Chamber and its relationship with unions. In my time at the Knoxville Chamber, we've never taken a stand one way or another regarding unions. I do know that the fact Tennessee is a right to work state plays a big role when we're being looked at by potential industries. Also, we don't give the U.S. Chamber public support in terms of dollars if that's what you're alluding to in your comment.
The Chamber and Innovation Valley want higher paying jobs for the area as well. While we're happy to get the call center jobs and expansions that pay $10-$12/hour, one of the main points in Innovation Valley's strategic plan is leveraging all the technology at ORNL and Y-12 into private sector jobs. Places like the new ProVision proton therapy center at Dowell Springs are big "gets" in our mind and we'd like more of them. Part of the struggle in landing jobs like these is our workforce compared to the rest of the country and world. While our public schools are great compared to Tennessee's urban areas, globally we're not where we need to be.
Thank you for your thoughts and civility-
If we need more "jobs" and want public money to help attract and keep them, we could specify what kinds of jobs will improve the community.
After reading your (so true) comment, yd, I had to go and dig up for you the hilarious observation one of our school board candidates noted on the questionnaire he completed for the Chamber.
In the only school board race not decided in the March primary (the Third District's Doug Harris vs. Gina Oster), I'm pretty sure Harris--the guy who came out the gate in January with $20K in campaign donations and garnered a total $30K by March--just let Mike Edwards complete his questionnaire, here:
Another local businessman recently shared with me about a company that was considering opening a call center in Knoxville. Unfortunately an independent consultant said that we did not have a workforce that was qualified to adequately fill the positions.
(If you didn't read 'em from all eight candidates before the school board's primary, they're all here.)
Quick aside...
...as one of Indya's spunky replies may make you snicker, too, here:
Q: What are the school system outputs that matter most to you?
How will you be accountable for them as a member of the Board of Education? What goals or measurements will you use to evaluate your performance on the Board of Education?
A: I don't like to use the term 'outputs' when it comes to education as it connotes factories and widgets not schools and human beings.
My goal is that our students develop an enduring love of learning, that they accrue basic skills to prepare them for college and career, and that they develop the means to lead a meaningful life of reasonable prosperity and self-sufficiency.

A 21-year-old man prosecutor Chris Poole described as "a particularly dangerous street gang member" was given a maximum 21-month sentence in Federal Court.
Authorities said Leonta Demon Epps earlier pleaded guilty to being a drug user in possession of a firearm.
Judge Collier said Epps at one time was being considered for release "on time served." But he said Epps would not cooperate with probation officials and would not address the court at the sentencing.
Prosecutor Poole said he was advised that Epps had made threats against a cooperating witness, including by Facebook messages.
Epps was allowed to self-report to prison in a month.

I guess they learned the hard way. boys, listen ,learn
the bulls are in bed with the Gov,t in this deal
invest the way things ARE. not the way u want them to be
Thrash Man
<<you two are one and the same - losers>>
ah Trader, i might point out Obama did make it to the Presidency of the United States. some loser
you might want to come up with a better analogy.
Thrash Man
OK trashman I am short spg for the first time since 2008-09, when I shorted @ 55 and covered @ 40.
I'm pairing this short with a jpm long.
50/50 long short
Don't know how long I will keep it we'll see.
Just one of many pair trades hope this one works out
you are pairing a reit with a financial concern???? are we pairing apples and carrots now?
Yes Faz ,
BUT the party may be coming to an end. Expecially if Germany doen't keep bailing the slow ,lazy countries.
Europe had a blood bath today. to me , and i have no claims to be an expert on this.,
giving corporations a major tax break on any new employees hired in the U. S. seems to make sense.
we need JOBS . I was not in favor of at the time, but believe now i was wrong.
they got the union to accept cuts and saved GM.
that was a lot of jobs saved . I still see QE# 3 in some form coming .
meanwhile i dying here with my REITS . Hope Kev saved me a spot in the next life .
Trashman you are the perfect contrarian indicator, 33 for 33, whenever you pipe up ridiculing those with a net short position the market plunges.
Please keep up the great work.
Just wondering how much you lost from the 08-09 crash? Must have lost a fortune as it seems very personal to you that those who hedged or shorted took your money.
If you keep your emotions out of trading you will fare much better
I think your dishwashing position is still available. Everytime the market falls a 100 points you think its the great depression.
Take those "millions" you made ?? and buy investing 101 for dummies,
I appreciate that you're a novice in investing but unless you learn from your elders on board, you are going to be in line with the rest of the shorts. ( its a long line )
Thrash Man
Hopefully you either hedged your long positions or sold them yesterday.
If you are still balls to the wall long than you are really phucked.
And as I stated before, this is real and not a fairy tale.
<<<Hopefully you either hedged your long positions or sold them yesterday.
If you are still balls to the wall long than you are really phucked>>
hey Trader , i hope you did n't quit you day job.
some Phucking.
Put your investments in a savings plan while you still have some money left
Thrash Man
the reit and banking sector is a fed manipulated game
you guys are terds buying this sector right now....as training wheels about to come off
That's the frustrating part.
The shorts "have" been trading based on how things "are".
But the longs keep betting on the way they want things to be.
We'll never get our economy fixed.... We'll just keep kicking that can pretending until there's no resources left to pretend with.
waiting for A BETTER PLACE TO SHORT IT NEXT WEEK maybe
TILL THEN CHERIO OLE DREAMER BULL CHAPS this sucker is gonna break south hard sometime next week or so.
look Faz, keep it simple
the market goes up most every time after a hit
if you.re in cash you can sit on the sidelines drooling or place your buys at bargiain prices
where else are u going to place money these days . treasuries?---Hey, good luck with that
Thrash Man
hows that for smart?
down the drain
here we goooooooooooooooooooo
Whacha talkin' bout Willis? Dreamin' again?
No, they are not. You're implying that Bulls are doing something distasteful to make their profits. SPG is just a powerful stock and the market maker on the stock is just highly skilled. Plus, interest rates are at an all time low and SPG is highly leveraged, in a position to capitalize on a market upswing. I just wish there was more volatility on this stock though. So that I can play the swings.
u r gonna get u r wish
where in the hell have you been over the last two weeks. the stock was down to 99 .
the market is all over the place.

Australia is getting a taste of its first pizza vending machine, according to cnet.com.
Pizza Gio is a self-service machine that cooks 11-inch pizzas within three minutes, the article said. Sydney-based Pompei's pizza owner George Pompei started his vending journey two years ago, and today the machine sits in a local shopping center, complete with cashless payment options via a touchscreen application.
"First of all, we have to guarantee and ensure the cold chain," Pompei said in the article. "By cold chain, I mean the actual temperatures are maintained at all times. So that really safeguards the actual product. Even in the production stage, before it gets to the machine, there's a whole sophisticated cold-chain process in place."
The machine holds 84 pizzas cooked about halfway and installed in vending refrigeration of -4 degrees Fahrenheit. Pompei's phone and computer receive system updates alerting him to any malfunctions like changes in temperature, the article said.

Neither sanctity nor salvation can be

It is a sin to believe that there is salvation
outside the Catholic Church.
Pope Blessed Pius IX
It is an error to believe that
Christ did not teach a determined
body of doctrine applicable
to all times and to all men.
Pope Saint Pius X
Let nothing of the truths that have been
defined be lessened, nothing altered,
nothing added, but let them be preserved
intact in word and in meaning.
Pope Gregory XVI
What if some novel contagions try to infect the whole Church and not merely a tiny part of it?
Then, take care to cleave to antiquity.
St Vincent de Lerins
"But though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
As we said before, so now I say again: if anyone preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema."

Published on Thursday, June 13, 2013
Etihad Airways will become one of a growing number of airlines to give UK passengers the option of making calls from their mobile phones mid-flight within the next few months.
The Abu Dhabi-based carrier is now allowing passengers on flights between New York and its home base to phone, text and browse the internet and it is aiming to offer the service on all flights by the middle of 2014.
Using Panasonic Avionics' eXPhone service and AeroMobile, an inflight mobile phone operator, the airline launched the facility on its Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft on June 1.
So far, 13 Etihad aircraft have been equipped with inflight connectivity and the airline plans to cover its entire fleet within the next 12 months.
However, passengers can only use the mobiles on Etihad flights if their phone operator has a roaming agreement with AeroMobile.
The airline said the company has agreements with 220 mobile phone operators, including 02, Three and Vodafone in the UK.
Passengers are billed by their mobile phone operator, and prices vary depending on individual contracts. Prices are typically similar to 'rest of world' rates, or in some cases, lower, said Etihad.
"We're delighted to be working with Etihad Airways to roll out inflight mobile connectivity across their whole fleet," said Kevin Rogers, CEO of AeroMobile.
"AeroMobile equipped aircraft already fly to more than 330 destinations in 90 countries across the world, and we expect the number of aircraft offering our service to double over the next 12 months as more and more airlines are seeing the benefit of offering inflight mobile connectivity to their passengers."
Emirates was the first airline to allow mobile phone use on flights from the UK, back in 2008.
Etihad Airways is already one of a growing number of airlines to give UK passengers the option of making calls from their mobile phones mid-flight. The airline has been offering OnAir"s inflight connectivity for 18 months now, after launching Mobile OnAir on four A320s and both Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir on three A330s in January 2012.

Exercise your mind with these challenging negotiation games!
Scrotum the Puppy
The first great series to showcase on Newgrounds. Still a favorite!
Fallen Angel
The world as we know it comes to an end.
nice art amazed by it
Always love this series.
Great to see such talented artists here on Newgrounds. Each person's art and style is distinct, just like the person who created it, and it's interesting to take a walk inside someone else's head this way. Looking forward to 2009!
I cant rate anything less than 10/10
cuz im a bit of an artist my self, and i cant claim i am anywhere near as good as these guys are!
When you invert colors on jazza's picture, you'd swear the fat guy is getting electrocuted. xD
I really liked it. Some of the people in it were amazing artists. Looking forward to next years, hopefully I'll be in it ^_^.

Bloomberg News reports on a new round of EU sanctions against Iranian banks and firms that will be announced tomorrow:
The new restrictions also include a ban on exports to Iran of materials that could be used in the Iranian nuclear and ballistic programs, in particular graphite, aluminum and steel as well as industrial software. In addition, the EU prohibited the import of natural gas from Iran and broadened the existing export ban on key equipment for the Iranian oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
…. The sanctions list will be extended to include 34 entities that provide "substantial financial support to the Iranian government" and one person involved in the country's nuclear program, according to the EU statement. The companies are active notably in the oil and gas industry and in the financial sector, the EU said.
The National Iranian Tanker Co., the largest oil-vessel operator in Iran, is hiding some of the ownership of tankers it controls right under the nose of the U.S. in Central American tax havens, concealing their real nationality from flag registries.
…. On Monday, the EU will formally sign off a ban on the provision of flags to Iranian tankers and cargoes by nationals and companies in the bloc even when operating elsewhere, an EU diplomat said.
…. The same far-reaching measures are being considered against insurers covering Iranian cargoes and so-called classification societies, which survey them to ensure they are fit for sailing … In most cases, those still dealing with Iran are based in Asia.

Today, June 7, would've marked Prince's 58th birthday. In honor of that, W Magazine released a fun new clip highlighting the Purple One's most recognizable hits including "Kiss," "Little Red Corvette" and "Diamonds and Pearls."
Chris Evans, Kit Harington, Ethan Hawke, Cindy Crawford, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rami Malek, Elle Fanning, Nate Parker, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tye Sheridan and Melissa Benoist are just a few who paid homage to the late singer. While some only performed a dramatic reading, others really got into it and belted their little hearts out. Evans definitely committed. Who knew he was such a fan?
Check out the video below.
The last time Colton Haynes collaborated with Tyler Shields, he swapped genders with his Arrow co-star Emily Bett Rickards for a spread in Vanity Fair. The 27-year-old actor undergoes another change for Shields, resulting in another striking shoot. Dude pulls off icy blond hair quite nicely.
"Every single time we work together we push boundaries & make incredible art. Our photography book is gonna be pretty shocking to say the least…," Colton wrote on Instagram.
An entire book featuring just Haynes under the creative lens of Shields! Where do I pre-order this? You just know the famed photographer has a few racy images included. In the meantime, check out below more pics of Colton showing off his new platinum blond hair and that spectacular chest of his.
Unless, he's had a penis in his mouth or in his anus, then no Nick Jonas, you've never had gay sex, technical or otherwise.
The "Jealous" singer has often been criticized for "baiting" the gay community and his latest interview isn't going to shut up his critics.
The 23-year-old recently sat down with the UK's Sun to talk about his love life, career and more. Naturally, the part that's the most titillating to his gay fans is when Jonas talks about his sexuality, specifically the gay sex scene he filmed for Direct TV's Kingdom. Read below.
Ever wanted to touch Zac Efron's junk? If so, this is probably the closest you'll ever get to it. The hornet jock strap he wore in Dirty Grandpa is now up for auction.
The description for the strap states it "shows assorted stains from use during production but remains in good condition." Ummm, exactly what kind of stains are they talking about? I'd like to know. As of right now, the current bid is $50. Very affordable still.
If you're more of a Robert De Niro kind of guy, there's plenty of items worn by him as well. There are roughly 100 items up for auction. For more, head over to Prop Store.
The ongoing Kesha-Dr Luke saga continues. Is anyone else hoping this drama comes to a close in the near future?
Just a couple of days ago, Billboard issued a statement revealing Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records rescinded its permission for Kesha to perform at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards for fear the "Tik Tok" singer would use the platform to disparage his name.
Kesha responded by saying her performance had nothing to do with Dr. Luke, but rather a tribute to Bob Dylan. She explained, "I was never going to use a picture of him, speak of him or allude to my legal situation in any way. I simply wanted to sing a song I love to honor an artist I have always looked up to."
Even Lady Gaga weighed in. She compared Dr. Luke to a Disney villain. "Isn't it strange that it's legal to own a woman this way? Listen Ursula, we want her voice back. #freeKesha," she tweeted.
Fast forward to today and the 42-year-old producer has changed his mind, once again. Read his latest statement below.
Holy veins Batman!!! How insane do Zac Efron's arms look? I guess if you're playing a lifeguard in the Baywatch reboot, you have to be super jacked and cut. Mission accomplished.
In addition to showing his ridiculously sculpted biceps on the cover of Men's Fitness, the 28-year-old actor talks about his fitness regime and upcoming projects. He can next be seen in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, followed by Baywatch. Obviously, he'll be shirtless in all three.
"I want to be lean. When I put on a T-shirt, I don't want people to go, 'Oh, that guy's a bodybuilder.'"
Since Zedd and Kesha were allowed to officially release their collaboration "True Colors," I thought things were cooling down between Kesha Rose and her label. It appears that's not the case.
The Billboard Music Awards just released a statement revealing Kesha won't be able to perform this Sunday due to her ongoing legal battle. Reportedly, she was given written confirmation from Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records but later, the permission was rescinded. Read Billboard's statement below.
How does Rob Gronkowski celebrate scoring his first GQ cover? Partying like a rock star in Miami of course. Someone's enjoying their NFL off-season a tiny bit 😉
The New England Patriots tight end shows the publication's readers how to have the funnest summer ever which apparently includes plenty of foam, champagne showers and poolside antics. And since we're on the topic of tight ends, the Gronk shows off his tight butt in all it's muscular glory.
Check out more pics below snapped by Peggy Sirota featuring model Hailey Clauson partying it up with Rob. Lucky girl. Who wouldn't want to sit on top of those broad shoulders?

still haven't realized this.
And the U.S is filled with more stupid people than smart ones. Just look at the Stupid Trump party people, who believe they are in the GOP. LOL.
YES.. More Coal mining jobs.
Discrete marketshare is both desktop's and notebooks. The 22.5% is desktop. MORON.
were caught dancing the GOP dance.
anywhere from 0 to 100% of the vote. LOL.
Bend it, shape it, anyway you want it...
flexibility? LOL. Just ignore and move on.
Taken from Mercury research.
First, let's get to the bad news: sales of new discrete graphics solutions, in both mobile and desktop, dropped by 10.2% quarter to quarter, a decrease that was slightly higher than expected. Though details weren't given in the announcement or data I have from Mercury Research, it seems likely that expectations of upcoming new GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD contributed to the slowdown of sales on some level.
Despite the shrinking pie, AMD grabbed more of it in Q1 2016 than it had in Q4 of 2015, gaining on total market share by 3.2% for a total of 29.4%. That's a nice gain in a short few months but its still much lower than Radeon has been as recently as 2013. That 3.2% gain includes both notebook and desktop discrete GPUs, but let's break it down further.
Ha ha ha.. A good ol fashioned Christian lie. Your boy Kasich is nowhere to be found. I don't think he'll vote for trump.
One crazy likes another.
Lets see what Trump says about that.
anything from 0 to max.
the British PM. LOL.
Israel's Netanyahu won't even allow Trump to visit Israel.
That dude Trump is crazy... His only pals among world leaders are Kim Jong un and Vladamir Putin. LOL.
AMD's marketshare has gone up to 30% from 18% 3Q's ago. The momentum is on AMD's side.
The other thing about Trump is he'll dump you if it suits him. So all the people who got conned by Trump in the primary... You are really STUPID.
He'll change it tomorrow again. LOL.
Heard that on TV the other day. LOL.
OK.. The country is going to the dawgs anyway. Maybe Obama will start a war with ISIS (like wag the dog) or something.. give the news channels something to talk about other than Trump.
Trump is getting boring too. Same old BS. He is flexible so whatever he says will change tomorrow.
