This is a night version of "

"Dual Screen Moon++"
I was just comparing the old and new 3840x1200 renders. The new one looks great, and I really like how the moon is offset so it is no longer split across both screens.
Tue January 24, 2012 at 1:38 pm
"New version"
Yeah, a bit more light looks great in this scene! Thank you for never abandoning your art ;-)
Sat January 14, 2012 at 12:05 am
Chris B
They have different feels, the blue is a colder feeling which deserts get, and the new one has a warmer feel. Like they both, but I don't know if I could say I like one better than the other :)
Thu January 12, 2012 at 11:49 pm
"I like dark"
Use the original quite a bit, this is over the top awesome.
Thu January 12, 2012 at 5:11 am
"Moonlit Oasis (2009) (Alternate Versions)"
Ooh - it's a tough call which one to like better... I really like them both! :)
Thu January 12, 2012 at 4:42 am
"Moonlit Oasis 2012"
Nice new render. Making it slightly brighter and changing the bluish to orangeish (which I agree makes it feel warmer) is a definite improvement.
Wed January 11, 2012 at 5:48 pm
This is a wonderful image, Ryan! I also loved the original very much, but this really transports me far away :)
Wed January 11, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Brandi U.
"New Version"
Love the new version. Like the clarity and warmer feel to this one. Still a fan of the original, too.
Wed January 11, 2012 at 8:53 am
"Still Dark.. and i love it!"
This new render of Moonlit Oasis has kept the darkness that was in the first version, but at the same time made it very inviting and warm. I absolutely love it, good job Ryan!
Wed January 11, 2012 at 8:47 am
"Very Nice - Incredible Clarity!"
Ryan, great job. The image really pulls the viewer in.
Could you do one more? Maybe something halfway between the new version and the old re: sky color? The original blue was nice, too, but lacked the clarity of the new version. Unfortunately, the original was also just a little monochromatic. Maybe it's the weather keeping me down, (23 degrees F). The warmth portrayed in the new version (and it really "looks" warm) seems foreign at the moment.
Wed January 11, 2012 at 7:14 am
I like the new render Ryan, I know you get people saying about how a lot of your work is often dark and blue but I like it. Keep up the good work.
Wed January 11, 2012 at 3:10 am
"New Version"
Last week I added a set of free images sized for use as "cover images" in the new Facebook "Timeline" profile layout. I was going through some of my older work and came across "Moonlit Oasis" from 2009.
It was a bit controversial when I posted it because quite a few of my Members said it was too dark. I stuck to my guns at the time, but now I could really see their point.
I opened up the scene file (in Vue 10 this time) and tweaked the lighting and atmosphere just a bit and re-rendered the scene. I will let you be the judge as to whether or not it is better than the original.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.

"Nights of Arabia"
Dear Ryan,
Thank you for creating this lush beauty! @Members complaining about the brightness, this is a ridiculously simple fix with any photo editor. Who doesn't love a "Nights of Arabia" theme? C'mon people, this image is straight ill.
Mon April 5, 2010 at 12:44 am
Simple, effective and brilliant. The moon as the centre piece works very well with the silhouettes of the foreground... nice touch with the glimmering water at the bottom!! Lovin the landscapes you produce! Nice one Ryan!
Tue January 12, 2010 at 7:50 pm
"Moon needs to backlight the silhouettes a little more."
In the middle section of the picture you can see a reflection on the water, and clouds in the sky. On the edges the silhouettes become unclear and faded with the night, but I'd like a little more backlighting from the moon to give the silhouettes some more detail. As is, the moon's light is a little overpowering in the middle compared to the edges.
Wed October 21, 2009 at 1:48 pm
"Re: Watermark"
Oh, my apologies! I only looked at the preview image on the Free Gallery, where the watermark looks huge in comparison to the size of the image. I didn't realize the watermark in the actual wallpapers is quite unobtrusive.
Ryan, your new watermark looks pretty good.
Wed October 14, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Jason B
I agree with @cmmnoble, it is a great way to identify your work. The watermark is how i found your site in the first place, i googled wallpapers, found some awesome walpaper you had done and saw the DB watermark on it and BAM I now have a lifetime membership. I don't see it as intrusive and i completely disagree with @Kevin about it being like the one on the link he posted, yours is more like a signature that i have seen on a painting, rather than a watermark that blocks the center of the image to make it unusable. Keep up the great work.
Mon October 12, 2009 at 12:01 am
"La Luna"
I tried this a number of different ways before settling on this design. The trees were set up to frame the dunes and that purpose is defeated by not having the moon front and center.
Sun October 11, 2009 at 8:04 pm
"Moon and Oasis"
Too much moon.
Really. All I see is the moon.
I get what you're trying to do. I really, and honestly, do. But...that moon. As my brother says, "it makes my eyes' bleed".
Maybe the image, and the majesty of the piece, would've been better served by putting the moon behind the camera's eye/lens? That way, we'd still have the lighting we want, but without that overwhelming light staring at us in the eye.
Just a thought.

"Moonlit Oasis"
I really like this image. I realize I have a special place for the blue, darker images and that it was "Orthohedron" and "Cobalt Daisy" that drew me to Digital Blasphemy in the first place. More recently, its been "Tropical Moon (2007)," "Harbinger," etc. that have appealed to that same "love of the night"
Fri October 9, 2009 at 7:54 pm
"Halloween Night"
Since it's October, do you have a halloween project in the works for this year?
Fri October 9, 2009 at 3:59 pm
"additional comments"
I was reading some of the other comments. I agree with Tim. I do like the dark backgrounds more because the busy or brighter ones make it hard to spot the icons on the desktop if I have a lot of stuff there.
Also, I don't know why people might complain about the watermark. Honestly, I never notice them. On my computer, the task bar at the bottom of the screen covers most of it anyway. Even it it didn't, it still wouldn't bother me. The watermark is small and unobtrusive and anyway I'd never expect that an artist wouldn't want to sign their work.
Fri October 9, 2009 at 4:26 am
"Moonlit Oasis"
Gorgeous! I love when you do night and day versions of scenes :D
Fri October 9, 2009 at 4:18 am
"Nice work"
Think this possibly my favorite so far keep up the good work!!
Wed October 7, 2009 at 7:01 pm
"new watermark"
Hello. I just wanted to say that I like the watermark. A Digital Blasphemy image just wouldn't be a DB image without it. And I like the new version of the watermark better than the old one. The new watermark is smoother and slightly more transparent and seems to blend with the images more slickly than the old version. Please don't change your watermark, Ryan.
Wed October 7, 2009 at 6:26 pm
"Loving the lighting"
Personally, I think the lighting is perfect. For me, a simpler desktop is better. I hate losing icons in a busy background image. The dark foreground, contrasted with the bright moon, allows for an outstanding range of blue/purple shading.
As for the watermark, I guess I'm not sure what all the complaining is about. It's tiny, and in the corner. If some want it gone so bad, there's nothing stopping them from blanking that spot out with an editor.
Keep up the great work!
Tue October 6, 2009 at 9:22 am
I agree with @JK: use an artistic watermark (your signature), not an obtrusive piece of text.
The current watermark reminds me of watermarks similar to this one:
Besides the watermark issue, the images are great.
Mon October 5, 2009 at 10:17 pm
"Moonlit Oasis"
outstanding work as usual! however, like some of the other comments, to me it seems a little too dark.
Perhaps a moonlit oasis where the Moon is behind the image illuminating the oasis?
It would brighten it up while still keeping that night perspective.
Mon October 5, 2009 at 6:35 pm
"Watermark - better idea"
Ryan, use a fine sharpie and *hand write* an image that says Ryan Bliss, Digitalblasphemy (or whatever). Scan it. Tinker in Photoshop making background transparent and save as PNG. Resize as needed and use it as your watermark.
The idea being the type wouldnt be as bold and it will still have some artistic flair. People wouldn't mind it as much as bold fonts that look machine made. Think of it as your digital signature, not a watermark.
Just an idea!
Mon October 5, 2009 at 3:33 pm
"Re: Watermarks"
First, let me start by saying I love Ryan's recent work. Turning around a moonlit version of Oasis was a brilliant and unexpected move. Thanks for the extra effort!
@Christian, et al.
Since the conversation has decayed into discussing the watermark, I'd like to chime in as well. While I understand the argument that paying customers feel a right to have a "product" delivered how they see fit (watermark and all), art is exempt from this rule; you are buying what the artist has created, not something tailored to your specific needs. Besides, wouldn't it be silly to buy a painting, and then ask the painter to move his signature because it's ugly, or blocks a part of the painting, or [next complaint here]...? I'm not shooting down anyone's opinions, and it's wonderful that Ryan provides us a forum to discuss. Just offering my own two cents worth.
Mon October 5, 2009 at 10:46 am
Hello Ryan,
While I still enjoy your archives, I have been unable to utilize your past year's worth of work due to chronic darkness. On both my work (lcd) and home (crt) monitors the pictures are too dark to use. I can't remember the exact piece, but you once made mention of some detail work in an area that shows up on my screen(s) as a jet black blob. Tweaking the monitor settings doesn't work, it's not even close.
Maybe I'm the only one, just thought you ought to know.
Mon October 5, 2009 at 9:32 am
"Re: Watermarks"
Using 1440 x 900.
In my opinion, they became far too apparent and obstructive from the moment the new ones were introduced. Too bulky, too grey, too obvious.
It's just a real shame to wreck such beautiful artwork with a watermark that sticks out like a sore thumb. I understand DB is one of your main revenue streams, but forcing watermarks on paying customers is a bit of a joke to be honest.
If people approach me and ask where I got my wallpaper from, hey I'd be more than happy to tell them about DB, but the new watermark is blatant advertising and in some cases such as here ruins the image.
Other wallpaper sites offer ALL of their wallpapers out for free in standard quality with watermarks. Their paid users get access to the HD version and no watermarks. Now I'm not saying you should offer all wallpapers out for free, but please consider removing the watermarks for members in the future.
Or...please offer an extended membership plan to have no watermarks. Or hey even just go back to the old watermarks.

"Moon split on dual monitors"
I like the symmetry but the moon gets split between monitors in the dual screen versions. Perhaps having the moon pushed a bit to one side (behind one of the palms) would look good in all resolutions?
Mon October 5, 2009 at 5:42 am
Chris B
I tend not to notice/ignore them I guess. didn't notice how bright it is but it still doesn't bother me. It's way down in the bottom corner.
Sat October 3, 2009 at 10:33 pm
"My Opinion of Watermarks"
I get the need to watermark the images, but I don't understand why they need to be above the taskbar and visible while using the wallpaper. Isn't the point to prevent unauthorized use of the image? I often use a higher res image so it's off-screen, or simply crop out the watermark for my desktop. Personally, I can't stand text on my wallpapers. Just my 2 cents... love the images! :)
Sat October 3, 2009 at 6:48 pm
"Re: Watermarks"
I have to disagree with many of you here - I didn't even notice it until I read these comments! ;p
Sat October 3, 2009 at 2:43 pm
"Dark images and watermarks"
Perhaps the watermark is more noticeable on this image because of the dark background?
Sat October 3, 2009 at 2:25 pm
"RE: Watermarks"
I just thought I would add a screenshot for you Ryan. Unfortunately the watermark on this one is the only reason I wont use it as my background, even though the picture is fantastic.
I hope you can see what I mean about it standing out too much.
Sat October 3, 2009 at 1:13 pm
"@Ben, RE: Watermarks"
Ben, I have no issues at all with the watermarks. Like I said, I like others to know where my fantastic wallpaper came from.
All I am saying is that the new ones are a bit of an eyesore; like Christian pointed out.
@Ryan: I use 1680x1050.
Sat October 3, 2009 at 1:06 pm
"Watermarking & The Wallpaper"
Ryan: I've never thought the watermarks an eyesore - and I've been around since 2000-2001. From 1024x768 up to my current 1680x1050, they've never seemed intrusive to me. As for the folks who want to buy an extra tier without one, I think that would open up an unnecessary element (these things do end up on other sites, I often flag them down when I see them being touted as "original"). The watermark should be what you choose, and people need to learn to live with it. DB's aren't as intrusive as some other ones I've seen. Paid or not.
As for this wallpaper, absolutely wonderful. I've changed my desktop to this one, my laptop is still the day scene. I love getting the best of both worlds! (oh and on that matter, the laptop is 1920x1200 - also no issues)
Sat October 3, 2009 at 12:19 am
The watermarks in still in flux. Can I ask what resolution you use Christian?
Sat October 3, 2009 at 10:50 am
"Re: Watermarks"
Couldn't agree more with the user who spoke about the water marks. New ones are an eye-sore and are far too obvious. At least the older ones were subtle, yet clear enough to promote the site.
Perhaps you could offer an extended membership plan that lets us download wallpapers with no watermark for an extra price?
Sat October 3, 2009 at 7:26 am
"Moonlit Oasis"
Beautiful, but I also agree its too dark! even tho I don't need to turn up brightness, I still think it can do with some fireflies to make it a little more lively! Otherwise I quite like it!
Sat October 3, 2009 at 1:11 am
I only hope you put this out for dual-screens, it is a fabulous moody enhancement of the originally very wonderful image.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 11:18 pm
"Love it!!"
I definitely love it! Just as good as the daylight, maybe even better! I love nighttime wallpapers the most!

Fri October 2, 2009 at 7:27 pm

I think a lot of the people need to turn up the brightness on their monitors, because I have no trouble at all making out even the smallest details on each and every tree.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Yeah, way too dark for me as well. Still a pretty pic, but all the beautiful detail is completely lost.

I agree with John A, needs some reflected light against the trees.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 2:34 pm
John A
"Too dark"
Can't you make it more about silhouettes? The only parts you can really see the foreground shapes in are the areas immediately around the moon.
Really all I can see in the small image above this comment window is the moon and two tree shapes. I can't even see where the sides of the image are next to the black background of the webpage.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 1:15 pm
"Moonlit Oasis"
When I saw this I instantly had a peaceful feeling wash over me. This is a very pretty picture. I just love the calming affect that it gives. Great job, I look forward to your next render.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Ryan said, "For that reason I think I would rather people turn the brightness up than have to turn it down."
I think Ryan has a point here, since many comments in the past have noted certain renders as too bright, as well as too dark. Darkness and brightness is subjective, and it also depends upon screen resolution and settings. It's easy to lighten a scene even if you don't have Photoshop. Picasa 3 (free from Google - http://picasa.google.com/) does a decent job, and so do other free programs.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 1:06 pm
"Too Dark"
Usually I don't have issues with the night scenes, but this one seems too dark on my computer too.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 12:51 am
"Really Dark"
Way too dark I think.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 12:15 am
"New Watermarks"
Hey Ryan,
This one is great, I like it much better than the day version. Fantastic night scenes.
One thing that I noticed about your most recent wallpapers is that the watermark has been re-done and is now more glossy. I don't know about anyone else but I liked the old standard text watermark better, the new one stands out too much and looks a bit cheesy.
The only way I can easily hide the watermark (which I hate to do because I want everyone to know about your work) is to use a higher resolution, which cuts details from the image. :(
I really sincerely hope you think about reverting back to the old watermark.
Keep up the awesome work!
Fri October 2, 2009 at 9:36 am
"Moonlight Oasis"
i love this one!
sweet night scenery..
that huge cool moon!!
love Ryan's night sceneries works!
Another masterpiece from Master Ryan!
Fri October 2, 2009 at 8:16 am
Hey Ryan,
Your night scenes are by far your best work, and this is no exception. Wasn't a huge fan of the day version, although this one looks absolutely brilliant. :D - Reminds me of Harbinger (2009).
Just one thing you might be interested in: The watermark on 1440x900 sits a little high up compared to other resolutions. I tried it out next to my 1280x1024 which confirmed my suspicions.
Check out the following screenshot to see what I mean: http://i38.tinypic.com/2sajb5d.jpg
Just looks like it could do with a few nudges down.
Anyway, great work as always. Thanks :)
Fri October 2, 2009 at 5:12 am
once again good work, I really think that a night version is a good idea, but you would do the wallpaper a favor by turning the light up a bit. I am affraid that to many ditails are lost, when it is this dark.
i know, you ment for it to be this way, but i would really like to see it in a brighter version.
Fri October 2, 2009 at 4:35 am
Peter S
I like this version! The only problem is that it's so dark it's hard to see the outline of more then 2 or 3 trees and the moon. I might want to turn the brightness up a notch or two, even if it isn't very realistic. ;)

"I like it"
I'm not in love with it, the silhoutes that is, but I don't particularly mind it.
I would like there to be a bit more light, to see some of the spectacular detail that is in the day version... it almost feels like that's missing, but it's probably because the day version simply eclipses this version.
Keep up the great work, though! :)
Thu October 1, 2009 at 6:10 pm

I think I like the detail of the day version better, but this is how it would look at night & the details on the moon are amazing. nice

I realize Ryan wanted all silhouettes, but there should be some natural light transmission from the water to the plants in such a scene - which would help differentiate the individual silhouettes and provide greater depth to the image.

Speechlessly beautiful, haunting. Top work!

"Gimmee an R, gimmee a Y, gimmee an A, gimme an N..."
Okay...(putting away pom poms), wow, ANOTHER render and so quickly! I love your night scenes. This is great -- thank you so much for adding a night render to Oasis 2009. Maybe it's a tiny bit too dark as others have said, but personally I think that just gives the scene a feeling of mystery. The moon and clouds are wonderful. Great, Ryan, thank you!
Thu October 1, 2009 at 2:16 pm
"Moonlit Oasis"
IMHO it is too dark.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Thanks for the feedback. The darkness is, of course, intentional. I realy wanted this one to be all silhouettes.
For that reason I think I would rather people turn the brightness up than have to turn it down.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I do like your night versions of your images. They are not as bright as the day ones but you can still make out most of the detail. This one very dark and can barely make anything out. It's still a great image.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:30 pm
"Nice, but a bit too dark"
Some of my favorite images are the night scenes, like firstmoonlight, and especially reverie and summerwood, but I think this one is a bit too dark. This is probably not helped by my monitor being a bit darker than usual, but the goggles do nothing. :/ I opened the image in Gimp and changed the brightness to 80 and the contrast to 60 and I'm able to make out more of the surroundings now.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:27 pm
"Even better at night!"
Ryan, Great job! The subtleties draw the eyes around the scene, making it very interesting. Fine work!
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:24 pm
This render is absolutely gorgeous! I believe this one is gonna go on all my computers and my cell phone.
Good Work!
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Always love it when you follow up with the opposite day/night version of the original. It's always interesting to see how different it looks.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Love it love it love it. Again, can't wait for the multi-monitor render! Bravo.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:52 am
Awesome job! I always love it when you do night versions of your works. I generally prefer darker backgrounds, so this is perfect. Keep up the good work.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:52 am
"Am I blue?"
Yes, yes I am and it's cool! Love this... immediately going on the desktop.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:42 am
I love it. I love the dark, so black around the edges there's no detail. Makes the moon and the water stand out even more. This baby is going on my desktop today!
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:31 am
"thank you!"
I love it! always a big fan of moonlight pics :)
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:23 am
"Love it!"
This is perfect. I love simple dark backgrounds that don't make it hard to find icons. This will instantly be used as soon as the dual screen version is done.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 12:04 am
"Moonlit Oasis"
I love all your art work and this one is no exception - I really love it
BUT... it is too dark! I think it could be a bit brighter around the oasis.
Thanks for another wonderful picture.
Thu October 1, 2009 at 11:59 am
"Nice, I like!!"
Very nice, I like this one better than the original! Reminds me of Harbinger, same cool blue look!

Skip to comments.Congressman Plans to File Complaint Against Anti-Obama Doctor
Posted on 04/03/2010 3:10:41 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
An outspoken U.S. congressman is planning to file a complaint against the central Florida urologist who posted a sign on his office door warning supporters of President Obama to find a different doctor.
A spokesman for Rep. Alan Grayson, who angered Republicans last year when he said they wanted sick Americans to "die quickly," told FoxNews.com that Florida Democrat is helping a constituent who was affected by the sign to file a complaint next week with the proper authorities.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I smell a Money Bomb for this Dr. ................??!!
Have fun with that, and see your sorry raggedy ass in November.
I guess Grayson, a non-Floridian claiming to epresent Florida, only believes he is allowed free speech.
Just like when he appeared on the House Floor braying that the GOPs plan for healthcare was "don't get sick if you do, die."
A look into what is to come if you dare step out of the neo-com march.
Rep. Alan Grayson is a thug, and he's about to find out that he doesn't have as much power as he thinks. This government of the people, by the people, and for the people doesn't belong to the socialists. It belongs to real Americans, and this doctor is one of us.
This is just a hack politician looking for a camera to step in front of.
I guess now, if you run a business don't be surprised when Congress tells you WHO you must sell to! Next is WHAT you can charge.
Great chance to stick it to the congresscritter!
Do you remember the feminazis of 10 years ago saying, "take your laws off my body!"
Now isn't it odd that they are now demanding for laws, regulation, enforcement, taxation, and rationing, on our bodies.
We need a Poster:
"Healthcare: It's MY BODY!"
Any photoshoppers out there who can put this together 2 images on one graphic:
One of 70's Feminazi's with posters stating "I have a right to my body."
Next image of 2010 Teapartiers with posters stating:
"Healthcare: It's MY BODY!"
I would never wish death upon anyone but I can hope for this asshole being at the wrong end of a random cosmic event.
HOW has the congressman been hurt? DOES HE HAVE STANDING?
Isn't Grayson himself already under investigation?
He does not deny treatment like a lot of Drs. do with Medicade!
This could be the first law suit to get to the Supremes.
A private citizen exercising his First Amendment rights and informing his patients of the effects of the Health Care Takeover of his practice.
Grayson is nuts!
anti-grayson website:
Grayson wants the webmistress prosecuted and sent to prison.
A sign that says "Hey Obama, keep your finger out of my rectum"
The ones who voted this Marxist ass hat into office are deathly silent. Fools, you have hurt your own ground.
Exactly. He did NOT deny any care to any patient but the sign is to 'discourage' Obowmao patients from going there..
This commiegressman is a lowlife POS..
The complaint would be to the Florida Medical Board, not to a court of law.
Yeah! Who do you little peasants think you are?
Right to refuse service my ass. You'll do what we your overlords and oligarchs say and like it!
A spokesman for Rep. Alan Grayson, who angered Republicans last year when he said they wanted sick Americans to "die quickly,"
I can't think of a single good thing to say about someone with the bedside manner of Congressman Grayson. There is really no excuse for his outright lies on the floor of the Peoples House.
"conform or be cast out"
"I will treat without exception all who seek my ministrations, so long as the treatment of others is not compromised thereby, and I will seek the counsel of particularly skilled physicians where indicated for the benefit of my patient." http://www.members.tripod.com/nktiuro/hippocra.htm
Modern version of Hippocratic oath; original version didn't deal with the issue to my reading. I suspect the doctor should have just written his complaint out and thrown it away, as I have with many posts.
Make no mistake Nancy Pelosi and 0bama love Alan Grayson their attack dog. They get to remain clean while Grayson slimes good Doctors with the race card. Grayson is a rabble rouser who is thrilled by the sound of his voice
I would think there could be *patient abandonment* issues if this doctor proceeded with his plan. Perhaps it is safer/better for him to reject NEW patients on this basis.
Just one of the many doctors that will eventually be replaced with 16,500 newly hired expertly trained in colonoscopy revenuers.
Why doesn't the good congressman accept Obamacare and voluntarily surrender his privileged healthcare?
Hey there, Laz.
Actually, it'll go VERY well...for US.
By doing this, he is drawing more attention to the doctor's reasonings for placing the sign up, giving the views of this doctor a national stage, and encouraging more to follow suit against the librat's plans.
Like Rush always says.
Ignore it, and it'll go away. Draw attention to it, and it'll explode.
I am "affected" negatively every time I see Obambi on TV. I hope I can get a class action against Obambi!
Trying to change the subject are ya? Bring it on, a$$h*le
America has filed a complaint against the RENEGER, and the result ain't gonna be pretty.
Looks like Grayson is going down with guns blazing.
He is not rejecting anyone. He is asking them, rather politely, to see someone else. If they come in, he doesn't ask them how they voted, he treats them.
A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way
"Because there is no statute, there would be no grounds for a complaint."
But Grayson appears undeterred,
Of course Grayson is undeterred by the law. He doesn't care about the truth, or the Constitution, why should anyone expect him to care what the law is?
Grayson aspires to be scum.
You do understand he is not rejecting anyone.
Another Democrat hack who doesn't care about the Constitution.
I'm surprised that didn't take a year and a half.
Lt.Comdr.Dan Fanelli is running for Congress against Alan Grayson! He needs our support and donations to win the Primary in August and then on to defeat Grayson in November!
Please check out Dan's web site and consider helping in any way you can to spread the word about Dan Fanelli! http://electdan2010.com/
LOL... Yes, that's an excellent graphic message.
The key point here is that we can use libbies' own arguments against themselves (as in the 70's Feminists' rallying cry of "keep your hands off my body").
I don't know if you've seen many of Adam Sharp's videos, but he's a new star in the anti-government movement using intelligence and humor to embarrass these fools:
"Everything for everyone and nothing for ourselves!" ROTLFMAO! These people are too stupid.
This is classic ownage of a true Marxist Democrap Congressman:
Spread these vids around!
I wondered about that too.
Alan Grayson is proof that even the mentally unstable can work for Congress. I want to know which looney bin let this guy out.
A spokesman for Rep. Alan Grayson, who angered Republicans last year when he said they wanted sick Americans to "die quickly,"
I can't think of a single good thing to say about someone with the bedside manner of Congressman Grayson. There is really no excuse for his outright lies on the floor of the Peoples House.
I agree! Grayson sure shows us often that he does not have respect for the American people. He needs to go, and our Constitutional conservative candidate Dan Fanelli is the guy to send Grayson packing in November!
There's a double out of the blue. Sorry bout that.
I can't either! That is why we Florida patriots are going to do everything we can to send Lt.Comdr.Dan Fanelli to Congress from FL District 8!
Dan is the man to rid us all of Grayson!
Grayson is a mental case. I am so ashamed that Floridians elected that lunatic pinko.

Fulfillment International tried to scam us too. They phoned my fiancee on MY mobile and told him that and I quote, that he had "won" a holiday and was told all about this wonderful holiday in the US worth 1000s BEFORE he was told about any 'downpayment'.
That was more like an afterthought. Anyway, up till now it could have been legit. as nothing is ever free but you seriously lost it when you asked for ALL the credit card details, including the numbers off the signature strip. There is absolutely no way that ANYONE should need those numbers. Even your credit company can't ask for these numbers and we are always advised by bank tellers and on fraud adverts that you should never give these numbers out. So why did you need them? There is no way you can explain this or weasle your way out of it because the person my fiancee talked to (Joshua and someone else whom I forget now) made a point that it was essential to have these numbers when my fiancee was unwilling to give these out.
The thing is, if your company is legal and you're not ripping anyone off, then why all these unhappy people? I have still to hear from someone who has got one of these holidays but even then, it could just be one of your 'employees' putting up yet another fake post claiming that he/she successfully got one of these holidays. Wise up, and get a real job like the rest of us!

June 13, 2014
WASHINGTON – Georgetown Volleyball Head Coach Arlisa Williams has announced the addition of two student-athletes to the roster. Casey Speer (Durham, N.C./Riverside) and Terese Cannon (Pittsford, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy) will both join the Hoyas in the fall as members of the Georgetown Class of 2018.
Both Speer and Cannon were recognized by prepvolleyball.com as a high honorable mention recruiting class.
"We are extremely excited that Terese and Casey will be joining the Georgetown Volleyball Family," Williams said. "On the court they add depth and versatility while, off the court, they are very talented students and are of great character. A coach couldn't ask for more. I believe that the experience that Terese and Casey bring will help us move forward."
Casey Speer
Durham, N.C. | Riverside High School
Speer comes to the Hilltop after four years of varsity volleyball at Riverside High School. She started as the team's libero for the first three years before becoming the primary setter as a senior. A two-time captain, Speer helped lead Riverside to a 26-2 record in 2013. She was named to the all-conference team in each of her first three seasons before being named the PAC-6 Player of the Year after her senior year. She was voted as Riverside's best defensive player in each of her first three years as well as the team's MVP as a junior and senior.
Williams on Speer: "Casey is a hard-working libero/defensive specialist who knows and loves the game. She spent last summer training with the USA Youth National A2 Team and did an excellent job in Colorado Springs, stepping up her game even more. Not only is she good with the first contact, Casey set for her high school and led them to the state tournament this past fall. That versatility and her willingness to do whatever is needed will make us better."
Terese Cannon
Pittsford, N.Y. | Our Lady of Mercy
Cannon will put on the Hoyas uniform this fall after starting for all four years at Our Lady of Mercy. A two-time nominee for the New York Gatorade Player of the Year, Cannon was named a National High School Junior of the Year finalist as well as to the All-American First Team in 2012. She helped lead her high school squad to a NYSPHSAA State AA Championship in 2012 as well as appearances in the finals in 2011 and 2013. In all three years Cannon was selected to the NYS Championship All-Tournament Team, including being named Tournament MVP in 2012. She was also an All-State First Team selection in 2011 and 2013 while making the second team in 2012. Off the court, Cannon was one of eight student-athletes nationally selected as a 2014 Academic All-American.
Williams on Cannon: "Terese is a true 6-3 six rotation outside hitter. In my time at Georgetown, we have never had a player with her size and volleyball IQ on the pin. She has been trained at a very high level and her experience playing beach volleyball only adds to her arsenal."

I'm currently downloading a torrent comprised of 7.2GB of mp3 and CDG files. When all that's downloaded, what kind of program is needed for it to run?
Also, which microphone do you think i should buy? Prefferably cheap, but not a headset.

So yesterday as I was getting my LOs bath ready I felt that my panties seemed a little wet. I stopped and stood there for a second and i was like oh no they arent..I squatted down to mix the bath water and knew that they were indeed wet. So went and sat down on the toilet (didnt have to pee or anything) and saw where the wet spot on my panties were (towards the back). and I thot omgosh am I leaking?!
I talked to my sister and my mom and they both think that my water is leaking. My sister had the same thing happen to her and after changing her panties were dry for hours and then it happened again. but here I am the next day still dry. This happened at 330pm yesterday and it is now 1120am.
I guess I peed without knowing it? has anyone had this experience?
I am so confused on how I could pee myself and not even know it and not even feel like I had to pee and only pee a little then when I noticed my panites wet I went and sat on the toilet and didnt have to pee...and why the wet spot was towards the back of the panties.
Opinions please....and sorry of tmi.
oh and I should add that even tho im not a ftm i didnt have this experience with my LO. when my water broke I heard a pop and a lot of water came out.

For an emerging artist, making the best possible impression when exhibiting one's work is of paramount importance. Many artists overlook the significance of presenting a clean and cohesive finish to a body of work when presenting it, opting instead for unfinished edges or frames that detract from the works as opposed to enhancing them. An artist who wants to best present him or herself chooses the right frame, (one that enhances the appearance of the piece) finishes their pieces in a professional manner and assembles a body of work that presents itself as synergistic whole.
It is up to the individual artist to decide what compliments his or her work when presenting it to the public, but the artist must always keep in mind that the public may not agree with the artists finishing choices. I have found that building flexibility into the way I finish pieces helps the process immensely: always use acrylic to finish the edges of unframed pieces (so you can paint over them later) and have easily removable frames should a collector not like your framing selection you can quickly remove it, or opt not to frame at all. Other tips include: using quality canvasses or panels, quality paint or materials, and making sure that your works are completely dry before handling them.
Here are some simple and universal tips for installing a work of art.
• Basic hanging techniques is as follows: measure up from the floor 60" (average eye level) make a pencil mark. • Measure height of piece to be hung, including frame, divide height of piece by two and add this figure to your 60" mark, make second mark at new height. • Turn picture around to the backside and measure distance from hanger (the pieces' wire or bracket) to top of piece (including frame) subtract this measurement from second mark, make an x at this point. • This is where your screw or wall anchors go. • Always consider weight of piece and use appropriately weight-rated hangers or anchors in the wall.
After picture is hung it is time for informing your audience. Tags for artwork should always include the following information:
• Title of piece • Medium • Dimension (height x width), • Surface (canvas, paper, panel etc.) • Artist name • Price
For some, whether or not to put a price on the information tag is a tough call, it depends on the gallery or exhibition space the show is in and whether or not the show is solely for public enjoyment, sales opportunity or both. I think that not having the price accompany a work can detract from a possible sale. In my opinion, pricing your work openly doesn't diminish the professionalism of the exhibit.
Lighting is also very important, use color corrected bulbs to best represent the work, use a system of tracks and moveable fixtures for maximum flexibility, avoid surface glare and position lighting in a manner that doesn't create shadows from onlookers.
Always have professional media to support yourself or the artist such as: business cards, portfolio, color postcard takeaways for prospective collectors and other relevant artist or exhibition "concept" related print.
There are a myriad of other details for putting together a great show, this blog entry has only touched the surface of all that should be considered for an exhibition. For more in depth information may I suggest the books: "Art / Work" by Heather Darcy Bhandari and Jonathan Melber or "How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul" by Caroll Michels. Or you can take a local class that covers all the fine details of gallery and exhibition skills.
Mesa Community College offers a certificate program in Gallery and Exhibition Skills. In this three-part program, students learn about the theory and design of art exhibitions and curating. Professor Alessandra Moctezuma, Gallery Director, shows very effectively through a series of courses and an internship, all aspects of installation and de-installation. The program also requires students to actively participate in the workings of Mesa College Art Gallery and to curate a show out in our community.

The Keys to Human Prosperity: Individual Liberty and the Rule of Law
The history of liberty and prosperity is inseparable from the practice of free enterprise and respect for the rule of law. Both are products of the spirit of classical liberalism. But a correct understanding of free enterprise, the rule of law, and liberalism (rightly understood) is greatly lacking in the world today.

Poor service ... ordered goods over 3 months ago ... they did not get back to us regarding the out of stock items (they were showing in stock when we ordered) leaving us to chase them, we emailed after about 3 weeks after placing order when barclaycard statement came through showing they had taken money in full!!! we were then advised goods were out of stock and a delivery would be in friday, some 2 months ago, with no further contact from store!!!
Ruined our camping holiday as goods did not turn up as promised when ordered!
Now what I would like to know is when will we get our goods/refund and what will we get as compensation considering they "guarantee 100% satisfaction" ???

Morning Berlin,I am more confident going into the next 6 games then I was in the 6!I couldn't see us getting any result at the Gooners, Liverpool or Man City while Ramos was still in charge - so I'm convinced that our next 6 games will yield some great performances, wins and points on the board.Forgot to say that we also have UEFA cup games against..NEC Nijmegen (A) on the 27th of Nov 2-1 winSpartak Moscow (H) on the 18th of Dec 4-1 winAnd also a Carling Cup fixture as well
I think we'll have Fulham, regardless of their form there'll never be a better time for us to play them. IF we go with 2 up front (I know probably unlikely), 3-1.Everton, depends on their form nearer the time, but I think will be a tricky fixture for us. I'd be happy(ish) with a draw.Utd, 1-1 sounds about right to me.What was the other one I wanted to comment on... oh yeah, West Ham. I think that'll be high scoring mayhem, one of those matches that could be 4-4, 7-2 or anything in between. Especially if they've not settled down yet. Bring on the madness!

Recently I set up my card through the Google play store so I could make in-game purchases while playing Dragon Story.
A week ago TeamLava offered 30 gems as a reward for downloading and trying out a new game called Slots. If you reached level 6 in Slots another reward of 15 gems would be awarded.
This morning I was happily playing Slots. Just as I reached level 5, about 6000 play dollars landed in my account. I thought it was a bonus for reaching level 5 until I received a text message notification of a 58$ charge on my card by some entertainment company. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS CHARGE AND I CERTAINLY DID NOT AUTHORIZE IT.
I have a service set up where I am instantly notified of any charges on my card, so I caught this immediatly. When I called the number associated with the charge, a heavily accented voice informed me that due to high call volume I would need to call back. I sent an email to firstname.lastname@example.com but they will take days to get back to me. I will be filing a fraudulent charge claim with my card company, but it will take months for me to recover my 58$ that way.
Slots was produced and is owned by a company that is being advertised and promoted by TeamLava. They make money for doing this. I did not consent to having my card information given to this third party. I never signed up to make in-game purchases in Slots or with this third company.
TeamLava should be held as responsible as the owner of Slots is for the fraud.

'Porn' is starting to mean 'too good, too sweet, too pleasing.'
If a landscape painting is beautiful in a fawning way, some will comment,' It's not art, it's landscape porn.'
(In the same vein Norman Rockwell's sentimental eye candies will be called porn.)
Food, music that is good in a certain way can also be considered too pleasing to the sophisticated tastes, hence porn.
Now that's a little rough to 4 year old etymologists.
RobertB said
'Porn' is starting to mean 'too good, too sweet, too pleasing.'
I don't think so. Food porn is to food as as sexual porn is to physical love.
The essence of porn is that it's prurient. Other kinds of porn are exciting in their own ways. And food porn isn't bad – but it's a spectator sport, not as enjoyable as a participatory sport.
Bob Heinlein said masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free of any possibility of wrongdoing — and you don't have to go home in the cold. But it's lonely.

Dear Kelly,
I wanted to send you the information I received from my searcher in California. Im amazed at how quickly she found it.
Your birth name was Kelly A. Campbell
Your birth mothers maiden name was Neudorff
There was no birth father listed but I have to assume that his last name was Campbell
My searcher is now going to search marraige records on the name Neudorff to see if she can find a marraige for your birth mother. This will give us her current last name.
I will let you know as soon as I have more information.

After a blood test, it was determined that the daughter of said family was not related to me. I emailed the results and was told that the site was gone. Went to a site that told me that the owners were Christine Dillon and Perri Feraldi. They have been doing this for Years.. NEVER TRUST THEM.
How can they abuse people like this?

The comments made by Chris Cook about his services being used in a single high safety scheme makes me wonder if we are actually making the transition. While we did sometimes play press man, from my point of view we usually used two men high with a lot off man coverage and zone coverage. Are we actually going to see more single high and do we have the personnel to do so. I trust in Eric Reid's range, preparation and instincts in single high, as well as Culliver's abilities to be able to handle this scheme. The worry, for me atleast, is Tramaine Brock in press man, correct me if I am wrong(which I very well maybe), but his lack of ideal size is somewhat worrisome in this scheme he possess the makeup speed as well as the weight and strength for the scheme but the question for me is whether he has the height for larger receivers. What do you all think? I would love the transition if at all possible, just imagine our front 7 with Bethea in the box, and the new found ability to blitz. Cheers!!

Because most enterprises have both the structured and unstructured data, we really need tools that allow us to analyse and manage data in multiple environments – ideally without having to go back and forth. That's why there are so many vendors jumping on the big data bandwagon but it seems that a SQOOP connector is not the only work Microsoft is doing in the big data space:
In our increasingly cloudy world, infrastructure and platforms are rapidly becoming commoditised. We need to focus on software that allows us to derive value from data to gain some business value. Consider that Microsoft is only one vendor, then think about what Oracle, IBM, Fujitsu and others are doing. If you weren't convinced before, maybe HP's Autonomy purchase is starting to make sense now?
Looking specifically at Microsoft's developments in the big data world, it therefore makes sense to see the company get closer to Hadoop. The world has spoken and the de facto solution for analysing large data sets seems to be HDFS/MapReduce/Hive (or similar).
Maybe Hadoop's success comes down to HDFS and MapReduce being based on work from Google whilst Hive and Pig are supported by Facebook and Yahoo respectively (i.e. they are all from established Internet businesses). But, by embracing Hadoop (together with porting its tools to competitive platforms), Microsoft is better placed to support the entire enterprise with both their structured and unstructured needs.

Hello All,
I seem to have another WordPress issue. Pretty much all the posts that I have are in multiple categories. When I do a search on my site (via wordpress' search funcitons), say for instance I search for "css" (no quotes), it returns multiple results.
I have searched the forums, but no solutions have solved my issue. I could just start disabling plugins, but I don't know if there might be a simple fix to this that I'm just overlooking.
The site is my personal site, http://www.deckerd.com
Any help is appriciated.

Olympic champion Kearney edged out her compatriots Heather McPhie and Elize Outtrim as the trio secured an all-American podium lockout for just the second time in history.
The only other time was in January 2010 at Lake Placid, with Kearney, Shannon Bahrke and McPhie picking up the medals.
Victory for Kearney sees her close the gap on overall leader Justine Dufour-Lapointe of Canada, who could only finish eighth on the day, and McPhie who holds second place in the standings.
Kearney, in third overall, is now just 40 points behind McPhie, who is in turn 27 adrift of Dufour-Lapointe.
In the men's event, Canada's Mikael Kingsbury continued his domination of the 2013 season with his fourth win of the season so far.
The 20-year-old from Quebec saw off competition from compatriot Alexandre Bilodeau and Patrick Deenen of the US for his 19th podium finish on the bounce.
Kingsbury now leads the overall standings by 125 points with just five events gone. His nearest rival, the Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau, is on 335 while Deenan has 261.

Twinkies Are Coming Back in the Greatest News Ever
The long national nightmare is over.
Twinkies are coming back!
The long national nightmare is over.
Twinkies are coming back!
Harry Styles of One Direction is an ink addict. The singer, recently split from Taylor Swift, has added to his ever-growing tattoo collection. His latest piece of art? A butterfly, smack dab in the middle of his chest, just below the nipples.
Before you walk down the aisle, you may want to walk down to the bank to make sure you've got enough money in your account.
The top 10 for Season 12 of 'American Idol' was revealed on Thursday's episode, the first results show of the season. America has chosen the five men and five women that comprise the top 10.
Here's who's moving on:
Justin Bieber collapsed backstage during his show at the O2 Arena in London on Thursday night.
At 23, Taylor Swift has the world in her grasp.
Selena Gomez has been tight-lipped about her somewhat recent split with Justin Bieber. As the gossip world wonders about her "Are they or aren't they?" status as one-half of the biggest teen pop couple of the decade, she hasn't given us much to go on.
The top 10 for season 12 of 'American Idol' is up for grabs, with the 10 remaining women and the 10 remaining men competing for those slots on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Congratulations to the most recent winners in our VIP program!
Taylor Swift covers the April 2013 issue of Vanity Fair and in it, she declares that she has only dated two people since 2010 – One Direction's Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy of that Kennedy clan. While Swift did not speak directly about the implosion of her three-month relationship with Styles, a source was given authority (by her) to do so.

I'm working on a corporate site that has 261 published pages in word press. It's starting to get unwieldly trying to sort through all the masses of pages that there are. It would be nice if the hierarchy of pages could be collapsible and expandable, so that we don't have to see all 261 pages on the same page.
Perhaps this functionality exists in a 3rd party plugin? I can't find anything though.
