New piece up of mine. Hope ya dig!
That is awesome.
Here's an old movie of mine that I never posted here, because it got pulled down for copyright infringement very quickly. I've replaced the soundtrack and put it back on my YouTube channel after 2 years of absence:
Here's my most recent animated short, it was a BlizzCon 2013 Movie Contest entry but it did not win.
Your animation is excellent. Have you tried applying to Blizz at all?
Oh gosh, so much awesome stuff since last time I was here! I love the Oondasta pic, and the creation of Garrosh made me lol, and that animation looks great and I just love it when this thread pops up on my screen!
I've started school this week, living on campus, so been kinda busy, but here's a little something I finished before leaving home:

Picture of my character on moon guard. Daimias Silentfall!
Because a friend of mine helped me to set up OBS I made him a picture. He was there during the proces f it all. It was intended to be an animated picture, but since it's been years that I used flash it's just a stand alone picture for now (completely done by mouse... can't wait to fix my tablet ;p):

This is a really cool thread, you guys have oodles of artistic talent and I'm a little jealous.
Edit: getting rid of my picture, it looked like crap.

I recently had a friend do a commission of High General Brigitte Abbendis, thought I would share it here.
(please let me know if the pictures are too big and need to be resized and I will do so!)
She also did one for herself of Vanessa Vancleef from the Deamines:
She has given me permission to repost both of these works of art. She also takes commissions if you're interested you can contact her at her DeviantArt site: http://katrinabirch.deviantart.com/
Again (Mods) if the pics are too big please let me know and I will resize them!

Greetings and hello's!
I will do a big dare, and share something with the community. Though, I am no grand creator of words mingling with worlds, nor do I form the realms you wish to flee to. I take my moments to breathe, write down an idea that comes to my mind. Many times it is slightly an annoyance due to, well, the location I'm at when the idea appears.
Grammar warning: This is a must to be said, I do hold some grammar problems. I try to find proofreaders but some have been quite harsh, leading me to feeling like I should stop. I enjoy writing though, so that is why I flee to the dark, waving my torch around to form the images that I might find interesting - and I hope they'll interest you guys.
Universe/Realm: I tend to hold myself within the Warcraft theme, but may linger into a little more old days of life but for the bigger view - Azeroth is my home.
I have lurked around various forums and sites, and had a good chuckle. Sadly, I tend to keep lurking and only appear when there is a change of a topic I know I can answer. But I love this community, no matter if we argue or just discuss. We all have to share our opinions, we all have to feel home here.

Arrest made after two-year murder investigation
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - It's been nearly two and a half years since police were called to an apartment in Kingsport where 65-year-old Betty Sue Short was found dead; now police say the investigation has finally come together
"After two years, it's just like putting together a very complicated puzzle sometimes. We're always looking for those pieces, and when we get enough pieces, that's when we're able to proceed. That's kind of what happened here," says Kingsport Police Chief David Quillen.
Police arrested 42-year-old Jonathan Lynn Slemp on Tuesday. Slemp is charged with first degree murder, felony murder and especially aggravated robbery.
Police say Slemp and Short knew each other, but won't elaborate about how and wouldn't say much about the evidence they recovered.
As for the more than two-year time line, Quillen says it took some 'old-fashioned police work' to get to this point, including nearly 100 interviews that took investigators to four states.
Quillen adds the real-life investigation process isn't like crime shows on TV. "I wish we had a crime lab in the basement where we could get fingerprints and DNA back in 15 minutes. We could have a suspect identified in 40 minutes and go to trial in 60 minutes, but it's not like that," he said.
The news of an arrest comes as a relief for some neighbors who lived near the victim, like Donna Smith. "I heard on the news they got him. I'm glad, because it makes us in the neighborhood feel a lot safer," she said. "It was unnerving to know that can happen right behind you."
The man police say did this is now in jail on a $300,000 bond.
Kingsport Police tell us a Sullivan County Grand Jury handed down the charges on Tuesday.
Police say Slemp was at the Kingsport Justice Center on Tuesday for probation on DUI and driving on a revoked license charges when he was taken into custody for the latest charges.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — State officials have agreed to start laying the groundwork for possibly generating as much as $85 million by refinancing part of the state's tobacco settlement.
The infusion of cash would come as state government faces a $1.3 billion shortfall in the money needed to pay for health care, education and other public services in the fiscal year that starts July 1.
During a meeting of the Tobacco Settlement Financing Corp.'s board on Monday, The Advocate reported state Treasurer John Kennedy raised the concern that the impetus for the proposal is the state's money problems.
Money generated from the refinancing would go toward the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students, or TOPS, which provides state-funded college scholarships.

Study shows more local freeway congestion linked to workers
Most drive from Ventura County to Santa Barbara and back daily
CARPINTERIA, Calif. - A new study by the U.S. Census Bureau shows daily congestion on Highway 101 locally during morning and evening commute times is being aggravated by workers traveling from Ventura to Santa Barbara and back for a paycheck.
The growing traffic on Highway 101 during peak hours is driving some studies like the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
The most recent results shows over 11 thousand commuters travel daily for work from Ventura County to Santa Barbara County. About 2000 drivers are going the other direction for work.
Many local residents have learned to steer clear of the congested peak hours, if they can. "You have to avoid it at certain times. At 4 o'clock going that way (south) then you have to take short cuts and go around it," said resident Jim Scarborough.
Carpinteria resident Amanda McIntyre is not bothered by some traffic around her home saying, "it's so much better than living in Los Angeles where I was before. This is not a problem."
A Summerland resident says he has added double paned windows to his house to keep the traffic noise down. Williams Thomas also says if he gets on the road at the wrong time, it takes two or three times the normal commute to get where he needs to go.

Exchange programs now in Shanghai, Nanjing
While flying from Denver to Shanghai an airline steward asked Milen Milev how long he planned to stay in the chaotic commercial capital of China.
"A year," Milev said.
"A year?" scoffed the steward. "You'll never make it a year."
That was nine months ago and the University of Colorado Denver student isn't just making it, he's thriving in bustling Shanghai as an intern at Gensler, the largest design firm in the world.
"People told me I wouldn't last because of the size of the city and how different it was," said Milev, sitting in his office overlooking the soaring Shanghai skyline. "Even though it's fast-paced, it seems less stressful than other big cities."
CU Denver student, Milen Milev, in Shanghai, China
Milev is part of an increasingly ambitious collaboration between the CU Denver College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) and universities and businesses throughout China.
CAP now has an exchange program with Southeast University in Nanjing, a dual-degree program with Tongjing University in Shanghai and the internship program with Gensler.
"The world of architecture and design has become global and many of our students will likely work abroad at some point in their career," said CAP Dean Mark Gelernter. "More and more firms are now looking for students with international experience."
And China is the place to get a lot of it, fast.
"China is building at a speed that is beyond the comprehension of most Americans," Gelernter said. "Our students going to China get a level of experience they don't get here. In the future, they will have to design for other cultures. And they will need to understand that culture and its values. That can't be done in two or three weeks. They need to be immersed in the other culture."
Milev has been thoroughly immersed.
"Right now I am working on the Nanjing World Trade Center with two residential towers and hotels standing about a thousand feet high," he said in an interview last November. "I have three other major building projects as well. I would never get this level of experience this fast working in the U.S."
Architecture and design students in classroom at Southeast University.
Milev, 30, was scrambling because the Chinese were putting up a building before the plans were done. A typical situation.
"Now we have learned that a column is about to go through the lobby," he said calmly despite what seemed a looming disaster. "In the States you finish all drawings first before building, but here you go back and forth."
Rapid development spells opportunity
With a population topping 23 million, Shanghai is arguably the most dynamic city on earth. It epitomizes China's strange dance between communism and capitalism. Construction is almost frantic. Luxury retailers like Hermes and Gucci line broad boulevards besides Rolls Royce and Masserati dealerships.
CU Denver graduate Jun Xia moves smoothly through this commercial mayhem. After all, it's his hometown, one studded with buildings he's created as regional design director of Gensler's Shanghai office. When he started, the office had just three employees, now there are 150.
"China is like a BMW that is fast and agile," Xia said. "It may go the wrong way but it can always turn back."
Xia studied design at CU Denver in the mid-1980s when he was one of only a handful of Chinese students on campus. Like so many others, he was taken in by Yuk Lee, associate dean of CAP. Lee came to the U.S. on a freighter from Hong Kong in 1963 and has been instrumental in forging relationships between CAP and China for years.
"Yuk Lee was my strongest supporter as a Chinese student," Xia said "He was a pioneer in opening doors to Chinese students and one big reason so many of them now attend CU Denver."
Xia joined Gensler's Denver office in 1991 and helped design Denver International Airport before setting up his Shanghai office.
The internship idea was born one night when Xia and Lee were having dinner at a top Shanghai restaurant.
"We were eating and drinking and he just said, `Why not send students to my office as interns?''' recalled Lee. "I said, `Okay let's do it.' It was that simple."
Jun Xia shows some model building in his Shanghai office.
Gensler's Shanghai office is white, bright and airy. Small knots of designers cluster around computers debating plans and ideas. Models of state-of-the-art buildings adorn tables. The biggest stands near the front desk – the Shanghai Tower.
The mere mention of it caused the frenetic, highly-scheduled Xia, 49, to cancel a meeting and head for his SUV. He swiftly maneuvered through traffic, stopping at the base of a massive building tapering gracefully into the sky. Heavy fog made it vanish into the clouds adding to the otherworldly effect.
"I started work on this in 2003," he said proudly. "It is the second tallest building on earth."
The 121-floor, 2,000 feet-high, Shanghai Tower will be completed in 2014 and open in 2015.
"The scale of our projects here are huge," Xia said. "We don't mess around. When an intern comes they jump right in. You will get very intense experience very quickly."
This go-go attitude stems in part from Xia's deep appreciation for the brevity of life. Most people measure their time on earth in years, Xia does so in days. And by his reckoning, he has about 10,000 days left.
"The life span of a human being is very short and you must treasure every day," he said. "I value what CU Denver gave me and I want to give back. If you are thinking of becoming an intern, consider this a life experience, a gate or a window into another world. A year working here is like 10 years in the U.S."
A unique dual degree program
Shanghai is also home to Tongji University which signed an agreement with CAP in 2012 for a dual-degree program. Tongji students are already studying at CU Denver while the first batch of CAP students headed to Tongji in January.
"We want to send strong students but also students who will be good ambassadors for CU Denver," said Ann Komara, an associate professor in CAP's landscape architecture department. "We want people who are curious, open and not easily deterred when things get difficult."
Qiu Jiani is one of the two Tongji students at CU. She's an intern at Gensler in Denver.
"I find the teachers here good but very strict," she said. "At first it was hard but now I enjoy it. Since coming here I have helped design an airport in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and I am working on a town square program to create gathering places in Denver."
The Shanghai native was initially struck by how empty Denver felt compared to her crowded hometown.
"I got lost once and there was no one to ask directions from," she said. "There are so few people in the streets."
Sun Qian is also from Tongji.
"One thing I enjoy here are the real life scenarios we have to do in class and how they are critiqued by others," she said. "We don't do that in China."
Storied city welcomes U.S. students
Just a few hours from Shanghai by bullet-train, Nanjing rises majestically from the banks of the mighty Yangtze River. The 2,500-year-old city is freighted with history, serving as imperial capital for six dynasties and surrounded by formidable city walls.
In 1937, it gained worldwide notoriety when the Japanese army invaded, raping and murdering more than 300,000 inhabitants.
While those memories remain open wounds for many Chinese, Nanjing these days is a bright, leafy city and home to one of the most educated populations in China.
Southeast University sits on a tree-lined campus near the center of town. It houses one of China's best architecture and design schools and the site of a growing cooperation with CAP.
CU Denver students come here to take part in joint design studios where they work on projects like neighborhood revitalization near the old city walls.
Architecture and design students in classroom at Southeast University.
"My project is trying to restore part of the Nanjing City Wall," said Shirley Xu, 25, who is getting a Master's Degree in urban planning and development at Southeast. "We have four American and six Chinese students involved. It has been a great experience working with the Americans. For them, they get to work on really big, real life projects."
There have been faculty exchanges as well.
Jeremy Nemeth, chairman of CAP's Department of Planning and Design, has spent time at Southeast while academics there have visited CU Denver.
CAP's Yuk Lee played a pivotal role in setting up this cooperation. It began when Southeast University School of Architecture Dean Wang Jianguo visited CU Denver in 1991.
"Yuk Lee picked me up at airport and I stayed at his home. It was my first time in Denver and my first trip abroad," the dean recalled. "My first impression was that there were not many people in the streets and it was very snowy."
Wang taught a class in urban design at CU before returning to Nanjing. He and Lee later worked out a student exchange agreement between the two universities.
"This exchange benefits us very well. Chinese students need to be more open minded about the world," he said. "And for Americans, China is the magic country because it is developing so fast."
John Hong, a design professor at Southeast, visited CU Denver last year and is hoping the two universities will expand their faculty exchanges.
"We don't want the joint studios to be a one shot deal. We want them to be serious cooperation in a deep way," he said. "Urban planning is a very dynamic field in China. American students get a real feel of that dynamism when they work on projects here."
Liu Bo Min, professor of urban design at Southeast and a visiting scholar at Harvard, said an urban planning education these days is global, not local.
"Working in the U.S. helped me become a better teacher," he said. "In China higher education is all about lectures. In the U.S. there is a lot more discussion."
Southeast has a storied past. It was once headed by Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Nationalist Chinese who were later routed by Mao Zedong.
"Southeast University has one of the oldest urban planning departments in China. It is the center of urban planning in China," said Jianqiang Yang, director of Urban Planning at Southeast. "Urban planning is hugely popular in China right now. When our students graduate they can usually find a job."
And finding a job is the ultimate goal for most Chinese and American students.
"Many view these exchanges as excellent chances for instructional and cultural enrichment and those are very noble things," Lee said. "But there is a very practical reason we developed these relationships with China and that is to make our students more marketable. And that's what we have done."

Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)
Redirected from Vincent and the Doctor
Vincent and the Doctor was the tenth episode of the fifth series of BBC Wales Doctor Who. It saw the Doctor befriend another famous figure in Vincent van Gogh and, quite darkly, explored the lead-up to his suicide.
Along with Amy's Choice, this story neither features a crack in time, nor does it make any mention to the Silence. However, Rory's absence is alluded to, giving the episode a defined place in the season's story arc.
Synopsis Edit
While taking Amy to several peaceful locations, the Eleventh Doctor's trip to a museum takes turn for the worse: his interest is caught by a painting of a church by Vincent van Gogh. What troubles the Doctor is that there's a face in the church's window; it's not a nice face, it's a curious, shadowed, creepy face with a beak and nasty eyes. The Doctor knows evil when he sees it and this face is definitely evil; it may pose a threat to the one who painted this face into the church. Only one thing will calm the Doctor's nerves: a trip in the TARDIS to 1890 so the Doctor can find out from the artist himself.
Plot Edit
The Eleventh Doctor and Amy visit the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It is showing the works of Vincent van Gogh, who is Amy's favourite painter. Amy asks the Doctor why he is being so nice to her; he has been taking Amy to several places she wanted to visit and other peaceful locations, such as Arcadia and the Trojan Gardens. She jokes that she's suspicious, to which he defensively tells Amy that he is always nice to her, and that there was nothing to be suspicious about. Amy tells the Doctor that she was just joking, but wonders why he's not. Before she can question the Doctor further, a child says, "It's the doctor," prompting them both to look behind them to see a child looking at the painting of Vincent's doctor.
They then inspect a painting in Amy's guide book, with her being excited to see it in person. However, as Amy is enjoying it, the Doctor has found a rather disturbing face in the window. He gravely informs Amy the face is not a nice one. Posing as an inspector with the psychic paper, he briefly interrupts the curator, Dr Black, demanding to know when and where the painting was made. Asked for specific facts, Dr Black tells the Doctor that the church painting was probably completed between the first and the third of June 1890. Complimenting Dr Black's bow tie, the Doctor grabs Amy's hand and drags her away. When Amy tells him she wants to see the rest of the paintings, the Doctor tells her that it's a matter of life and death — they need to speak to Vincent Van Gogh!
The TARDIS materialises in Auvers-sur-Oise. The Doctor and Amy begin their search for van Gogh. Finding a café featured in one of his paintings, the Doctor questions two waitresses cleaning the tables outside. They say van Gogh is a mad drunk who never pays his bills, and, when the Doctor says he's a good painter, they laugh heartily. The café owner rushes out, followed by a red-headed man trying to bargain with him. The owner exasperatedly informs him the painting is no good for a trade (given that it will frighten the other patrons); the man must either pay or leave. The Doctor (after wordlessly pointing out to Amy that the patron is Vincent) offers to pay for the man's drink or to buy the painting, so he can use the money to buy a drink. Vincent van Gogh turns around and demands to know who the Doctor is. The Doctor tells him that he's new in town. Vincent tells the Doctor that there are some things he needs to know: 1) He pays for his own drinks (this earns more laughter), 2) If the Doctor wants to stay in town, he better not buy his painting, or he'd get laughed out of town; 3) Amy's cute. Before the painter can resume haggling with the café owner, Amy offers to buy a bottle of wine which she will share with whomever she chooses, to which Vincent agrees.
Inside the café, the Doctor introduces himself. Van Gogh misunderstands the title and believes him a doctor sent by his brother; the Doctor explains that he's not a medical doctor. Trying to make casual conversation, the Doctor learns from Vincent that he has arrived right before he is to paint the church. Amy sees a painting Vincent has with him and quickly corrects herself when she when she praises it as one of her favourite paintings. The painter then wonders if Amy is from Holland like himself; Amy honestly says no, but the Doctor "corrects" her and says "yes." Vincent and Amy begin flirting, but stop at a scream from outside.
In the street, they find a young girl has been brutally killed. Her mother pushes her way forward. Upon spotting Vincent (who everyone considers a madman), she takes out her grief on him, blaming him for her daughter's death. The crowd throws stones at him, and the Doctor, Amy and van Gogh leave hastily. The Doctor learns this is the second recent murder. Vincent asks the Doctor and Amy where they are staying, which the Doctor takes as an invitation to stay at Vincent's studio.
At the studio, Vincent apologises for the mess his collective works make and leads them inside. When the Doctor keeps asking about the church, Vincent catches this and begins wondering what he's up to. However, he puts a pot for coffee on one of his works, prompting Amy and the Doctor to tell him to treat them better as they are precious. Explaining about how he paints, Vincent tells them that he believes that there is so much more than what the normal eye can see. Having travelled throughout all of time and space, the Doctor says that he doesn't need to be told. After a bit too much coffee, Vincent begins rambling on about how he hears the colours and the world telling him to capture the mysteries on canvas. The Doctor calmly tells Vincent that he has had enough coffee and offers to make some calming tea. However, he then notices that Amy is not in the room any more, as he hears her screaming from outside.
Both Vincent and the Doctor find Amy on the ground. She says that something attacked her while she was looking at the paintings. Vincent begins screaming in horror and backs away from them. The Doctor thinks that he is having some kind of fit as Vincent charges past them with a pitchfork; the painter tells them to run as he swings the pitchfork around. The Doctor encourages Amy to take cover while he calms Vincent. However, Vincent yells for the Doctor to duck as he is swept off his feet by something large and invisible. Realising Vincent is not having a fit, but can actually see the beast, he grabs a stick to help fight it. As he cannot see it, the Doctor uselessly swings the stick around to help cover more ground , and Vincent wards the creature off single-handedly. Vincent tells the Doctor, who is still swinging the stick around, that the beast has left. The Doctor asks Vincent what the creature looked like; Vincent says that he'll show them..
Leading them back inside, Vincent whites out a canvas — much to Amy and the Doctor's horror — and proceeds to draw the creature on it. The Doctor is shocked by what it looks like and decides that something in the TARDIS can help identify what it is. He instructs Amy to look after Vincent and make him comfortable as possible; he then jokes to her, asking Amy not to "let any invisible monsters in the house". The Doctor returns to town with the painting, unknowingly being stalked by the invisible creature. Just as it tries attacking him, the Doctor enters the TARDIS.
Inside, the Doctor rummages through a drawer full of junk, apologising to the object he is looking for as he thought it was an embarrassing gift from a dull two-headed godmother with bad breath (twice). Pulling out a portable device, the Doctor hooks it to the printer on the console; it shows his first two incarnations and his personal information. Seeing that it works, the Doctor shows the device Vincent's painting, which it misinterprets as a parrot and polar bear, unable to clearly make out what it is. Annoyed, the Doctor thinks he'll have to make Vincent paint something better.
It's dawn by the time the Doctor exits the TARDIS. Strapping the device to himself, the Doctor does not notice the creature reflected by the device. Having got a clear image of the creature, the device beeps, giving the Doctor the information about it; he mistakenly believes that it needed some time to get it right. Reading the information, the Doctor feels sorry for the "poor, brutal thing," wishing to see it again soon. Upon seeing the beast's reflection, he calmly says "but not that soon", before running off to escape it. To obstruct the creature's path, the Doctor drops debris behind him to slow the creature as he hides behind a corner. Using the mirror on the device, the Doctor finds that it has left in a different direction. He turns around, only to be scared by Amy; he demands to know why she left Vincent unguarded. Amy explains that though she loves his artwork, she finds it hard to like Vincent's snoring.
The next morning, the Doctor wakes Vincent, who steps into the courtyard to see Amy surrounded by sunflowers. She suggests he paint them, but Vincent explains they are not his favourite; Amy is confused by this, as Vincent will paint a picture of them. Vincent explains he finds them complex, half-living and half-dying, but it would be a challenge, to which the Doctor responds that he believes that he'll rise to the occasion. Giving Vincent a print-out of the creature, the Doctor explains that it's called a Krafayis. They travel through space in packs, a brutal race of scavengers. This one has apparently been abandoned. It will kill without mercy until it is killed — unlikely, given its invisibility. Nonetheless, he assures Vincent they can stop the killings if he will paint the church. Vincent agrees and the Doctor informs him that, afterwards, he and Amy will leave. Once Vincent has departed, the Doctor expresses concern at putting him in such a dangerous situation; if he is killed, half of the paintings on display in the Musée d'Orsay will vanish.
After a while, the Doctor and Amy have gotten tired of waiting for Vincent getting ready. Wondering what is keeping him, the Doctor finds the painter lying in bed, sobbing. He is devastated that the Doctor and Amy are prepared to leave him, like everyone else. The Doctor attempts to console him, but Vincent grows angry and orders him out. Back with Amy, the Doctor explains that Vincent has a fragile psyche and will kill himself in just a few short months; trying to force Vincent into doing something might accelerate his suicide. Taking this into consideration, the Doctor tells Amy that they will hunt down the Krafayis on their own, but before they can leave, Vincent appears at the door, ready to go.
On the way to the church, Amy tries to talk to Vincent about his depression, He says if she can "soldier on," then he can too. This confuses her, which prompts Vincent to reveal he can hear her sadness and believes that she has recently lost someone. He also points out she is crying, which she hadn't realised. They stop in the road as a funeral procession, for the girl who was killed last night, passes; everyone glares at Vincent. Amy questions the Doctor, wondering what his plan is this time. However, the Doctor tells her he's got something like a plan, "only more greatness"; he's armed with overconfidence, a sonic screwdriver and the device in his briefcase.
At the church, Vincent begins to paint. The Doctor spends the time talking to Vincent about his past meetings with Michelangelo (who took the job of painting the Sistine Chapel despite being afraid of heights) and Pablo Picasso (who he tried getting to paint normal faces). As it becomes night, the Doctor becomes frustrated as the Krafayis is not punctual, confessing to Amy that something doesn't feel right. Vincent sees the beast in the window. The Doctor goes inside, ordering his companions not to follow him. Vincent questions Amy as to if she will follow the Doctor; she responds, "of course," prompting Vincent to tell her he loves her. Inside, the Doctor "fights" the creature, but when his device is destroyed, he prepares to retreat. Outside, Amy and Vincent hear the chaos. Amy runs inside, calling for the Doctor.
The Doctor attempts to exit the church, but bumps into Amy. Despite being annoyed that she disobeyed him again, he forces her to hide in the confessional with him. They whisper to each other as the Krafayis attacks them. The Doctor remarks the Krafayis has incredible hearing. As it tears the confessionals apart, Vincent appears, brandishing a chair to distract the beast, allowing the Doctor and Amy to escape. The Doctor tries stunning the beast with the sonic screwdriver, but since he can't see it, he can't tell if he has the right setting; Vincent says it pleased the beast instead. They take refuge in another chamber. Vincent sneaks away to retrieve something. In his absence, the Doctor attempts to reason with the creature, telling it he too is alone and he knows how it feels.
The chamber windows blow out as the Krafayis breaks in. Vincent returns with his easel, holding it like a weapon. He says the creature is making its way around the edges of the room. The Doctor calls himself an idiot for not noticing this sooner, saying he is getting old; the Krafayis was left behind because it is blind, but he yells his deduction, allowing the beast to know where they are. As it attacks, Vincent stabs the Krafayis with the legs of the easel. It collapses, badly wounded and dying. It begins crying it is afraid, and the Doctor consoles it as it dies. Vincent mourns he didn't mean to kill it, only wound it, and that he understands its lonely existence...
Amy, Vincent, and the Doctor lie in the grass outside the church. Vincent encourages the others to see the world as he does (we see the night sky turn into Vincent's Starry Night painting), saying the blackness of the sky is actually multiple shades of blue. The Doctor admits that he has seen amazing things in his life, but nothing quite as wonderful as what Vincent sees. Vincent tells his friends he will miss them when they're gone.
The next morning, Vincent attempts to push his self-portrait on the Doctor as a parting gift, but the Doctor, knowing what it will be worth one day, refuses it. The painter takes this in stride; he's used to having his works of art refused. Vincent admits that, despite his experiences over the last couple of days, he won't do well on his own. As the Doctor and Amy depart, he gets an idea, asking Amy if she's had the same one; she doesn't as she's thinking about grabbing breakfast at the café. The Doctor calls to Vincent (who looks out his window, half-dressed), telling him to tidy up as there is something he wants to show him.
They take him to the TARDIS, which is now covered in circus posters; the Doctor slices through them with the TARDIS key and opens the doors of his time machine. The Doctor reminds Vincent about how they talked about the wonders of the universe before showing him inside. Upon seeing the inside and examining the exterior, Vincent becomes amused that he's the one that's "crazy", while they have managed to remained sane. The Doctor explains some of the buttons on the console, secretly steering the TARDIS. Vincent is amazed by all the Doctor has told him and asks that they come back to the café, and explain more about the wonders of the universe. However, the Doctor tells him that there is something they wish to show him first.
Stepping outside, they reveal to Vincent they're now at the Musée d'Orsay in 2010; the time vortex energy has reduced the posters covering the TARDIS to cinders. Explaining where they are, the Doctor and Amy lead Vincent into the museum, leaving his hat back in the TARDIS to avoid arousing suspicion of his identity. Led through the building, Vincent looks in awe at the exhibits, then is even more surprised when he is led into the section dedicated completely to his paintings. While Vincent stares at people enjoying his work, the Doctor finds Dr Black again, asking if he can summarise where Vincent stands in history. Amy positions Vincent close enough to hear his response, as Dr Black praises Van Gogh for turning his pain into incredible beauty, calling him not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men of all time. Vincent is reduced to tears by these words and the Doctor starts to apologise, thinking this was too much for him. However, Vincent explains he's crying out of joy. He hugs Dr Black and thanks him for his kind words before leaving with his friends. Dr Black is confused, and suspects the truth before thinking better of it.
Vincent is returned to 1890, where he comments on what has happened and thanks the Doctor for truly helping him where other doctors have not; the Doctor is equally joyous, bidding his new friend farewell. He then tells Amy that should she grow bored of the Doctor, she may return and they will have a big family. Amy tells Vincent that she's "not the marrying type." Leaving for home, Vincent hears the TARDIS leave and turns back to see it gone. He then leaves, happy, and sure he will use his experience to change himself into a new man.
The Doctor and Amy return to the Musée d'Orsay. Amy is certain their time with Vincent changed him. She is ecstatic at the prospect of all the new paintings that will hang in the exhibit. However, she is disappointed to find no new paintings and hear Dr Black still announce to tourists that Van Gogh committed suicide at the age of thirty-seven.
Amy is heartbroken that they didn't make a difference in Vincent's life at all, but the Doctor rejects this. He says that good things can't remove the pain of bad things, but bad things can't spoil the good things and they certainly added a large amount of good to Vincent's life. The Doctor shows Amy that the face of the Krafayis is no longer visible in the window of the church. Another change becomes evident as they prepare to leave. Amy sees Van Gogh's painting of sunflowers, now dedicated to her. Amy jokes that if she had children with Vincent, they would have had really red hair. The Doctor jokes back, saying it would be the "Ultimate Ginger". Amy cries as they both laugh. The Doctor comforts her.

People from the real world Edit
- Amy briefly handles a knife in Vincent's rooms but sets it down suddenly, as if recalling the incident where Van Gogh cut off his own ear.
Story notes Edit
- The episode was incorrectly entitled Lend Me Your Ear. [by whom?] No mention or reference was made in the episode to van Gogh's ear at all, beside van Gogh holding his self-portrait and covering the ear. [source needed]
- Richard Curtis wanted to call the episode The Eyes That See the Darkness, but Steven Moffat wanted an explicit reference to Vincent in the title. [source needed]
- Unlike most stories in this series, this story focuses much more on characters than plot, and has hints and references to van Gogh's struggle with bipolar disorder and suicide, something the series has not explored deeply before. A message and phone number for the "BBC Action Line" was broadcast following the "Next Time" trailer for those wanting more information on "issues raised in this program".
- Pictures of the First and Second Doctors are printed on the TARDIS' typewriter.
- The accordion player in the bar is clearly playing a version of "I Am The Doctor" from the series 5 soundtrack.
- This is the second story in the series to lack any cracks, silence, or other foreshadowing of the series' finale (the first being Amy's Choice). However, it does tie in to Rory's death and establishes that, on some level, Amy is aware he has died.

Production errors Edit
- When running through the streets with his mirror, the Doctor screams, "Ahh", but his mouth is not synced with his screaming.
- For most of the episode, Amy is wearing tights. During the church scene, when van Gogh starts painting the church, they're gone. Later on when the group are hiding from the monster, she's wearing them again.
- When in the chapel looking for the monster, the Doctor switches the mirror from his left to right side while holding his sonic screwdriver. For each change, the camera angle also changes, and the sonic screwdriver changes from being in closed mode and extended mode.
- At the beginning, when looking at the painting of the church, the Doctor scratches his head. When the camera is behind the Doctor, he uses his right hand but when the camera cuts to in front of him, he is using his left hand.
- When the Krafayis first appears in the visual recognition system, it is directly behind the Doctor, who is next to the TARDIS. When the Doctor runs away, it is heard chasing him. The Doctor hides behind a wall and using the mirror sees the creature, but it is still beside the TARDIS.
- When in the chapel running away from the Krafayis, the Doctor is attacked by the monster, knocking him off his feet and into a nearby wall. For one shot, the wire that lifts Matt Smith off his feet and into the wall can be seen clearly.
- When visiting the museum for the final time, the Krafayis is still slightly visible in the painting.
Continuity Edit
- The Doctor and Dr Black compliment each other's bow ties, the Doctor saying again that "bow ties are cool". (TV: The Eleventh Hour, Amy's Choice)
- To test the species identifier device, the Doctor uses it on himself. It prints pictures of his first and second incarnations before he stops it.
- The Doctor once again mentions that he is ageing mentally, in contrast to his physical appearance. (TV: Time Crash, The End of Time)
- The Doctor mentions Rory, to which Amy asks, "Who?" Amy also says that the Doctor is being extra kind to her, as unbeknownst to her he is feeling guilty about Rory's erasure from time. Van Gogh also sees that Amy is crying, although she doesn't know why; he theorises that she has lost someone. After receiving a half-joking marriage proposal from Vincent, Amy tells him that she's "not the marrying kind". (TV: Cold Blood)
- Taking a companion to a pleasant exhibit after the death of a fellow companion is something the Fifth Doctor attempted to do earlier for Nyssa and Tegan. (TV: Time-Flight)
- Vincent van Gogh has romantic feelings for Amy. Previously, William Shakespeare made advances towards Martha Jones, (TV: The Shakespeare Code) and Madame de Pompadour fell in love with the Tenth Doctor. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace)

Backus Council accepts lowest bidder in wastewater treatment work
At a reconvened meeting Monday, June 10, the Backus City Council voted to accept the approximately $2,541,915.50 bid by RJS Construction for the city's wastewater treatment project.
The bid was initially estimated to be under $1,926,688. The city was forced to find a way to pay for the $615,227.50 in extra cost.
The council heard the higher amount at its regular meeting June 3. Greg Kimman of Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) asked the council to recess that meeting to allow SEH time to consult with Cass County Rural Development and the lowest bidder for the project. Kimman also asked the council to arrange a sewer committee meeting to discuss cost saving measures with the Pine River Area Sanitary Sewer District (PRASD).
Discussion with PRASD was held at 10 a.m. Monday, June 10, before the council reconvened its regular council meeting. Kimman said they discussed the possibility of removing an emergency overflow tank from the project plans. This exclusion would cut an estimated $50,000 from the project cost.
It was ultimately decided to keep the emergency overflow tank because the city might depend on it in case of certain sewer failures. In those circumstances, the tank would provide approximately eight hours of backup. With the installation of a special valve, storage within the sewage pipes could also be used, increasing that time to approximately 48 hours.
Kimman said the city could potentially save approximately $120,000 in materials by decreasing the thickness of pipe walls on the project. They would be replacing approximately 52,000 feet of pipe. Kimman said reduction in thickness could reduce the system pressure rating, but not more than acceptable. No decision was ultimately made on pipe thickness.
Kimman told the council of possible additional sources of funding for the project. Following Monday's meeting, Kimman applied to the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority for a loan, with council approval. An application is also being processed for additional loans from Cass County Rural Development.
City Clerk Jeff Turk said the city will receive an estimated $250,000 for costs incurred in the wastewater project. He suggested that money could be used to pay for the additional cost of the recent bid.
Mayor Kurt Sawyer said the city could consider using city reserves set aside for the cost of wastewater treatment to offset some of the project cost. Turk said he would prefer that they not drain any of the reserves.
Sawyer said the city could afford to use a portion of those reserves because the new wastewater project components would be under warranty. Therefore, they wouldn't need to use reserves to replace any components that might fail. He said the city could pay back into those reserves during that warranty period.
It was agreed that the reserves should not be drained completely.
The $2,541,915.50 bid by RJS Construction was accepted unanimously. Council members Richie Bean and Ann Birge were absent.

New Zealand commodity prices rose for a second month in September, in the strongest monthly gain in a year-and-a-half, led by skim milk powder and aluminium.
The ANZ commodity price index rose 3.5 per cent last month, about 14 per cent weaker than the same month a year ago. Excluding dairy prices the index rose 0.5 per cent.
The largest increase was shared by skim milk powder and aluminium, both up 11 per cent, followed by butter and whole milk powder up 8 per cent, wool and apple prices gaining 6 per cent, cheese climbing 5 per cent, venison up 2 per cent and logs and beef rising 0.5 per cent.
The price of pelts bucked the trend falling 10 per cent, with casein and kiwifruit prices down 2 per cent. Lamb prices eased 1 per cent.
In New Zealand dollar terms, the commodity price index rose for the first month in nine, up 3 per cent.
The strong kiwi dollar has damped the potential returns for local exporters, recently trading near its recent six month high of 82.81 US cents.
Last week, Fonterra, the world's largest exporter of dairy products, missed its forecast with a 19 per cent drop to $6.40 in its 2012 payout to farmers, reflecting lower prices for milk and a stronger kiwi dollar, and in spite of record production.
The survey comes ahead of Fonterra's fortnightly GlobalDairyTrade auction on Tuesday in the US. Dairy prices rose 6 per cent to the highest level since early April at the last auction in their third straight gain, with increases for all eight products on offer.

This guy looks real interesting. Looks fast, hits hard and in his film I did see him manhandle some lineman and run through them. I know I'm going to hear it for this but he plays with abandon and throws QBs and runners down to the turf like he doesn't seem to be satisfied for just the tackle. He moved across the line and caught runners from the back. Ok here it comes, I watched it and he looked a little like a LB we had once. Take a guess. Yes I do know what division he played in
Hey all! I had a friend who went to Mount Union so I saw a good amount of Diesel. The dude can fly, which obviously the Giants had missed from the MLB position for a while. (Phillip Dillard, Greg Jones, Chase) He's absolutely a talented dude, who did play at a lower level of competition, but if you look at his tools, I believe his skills could translate to the next level.
This video is also much better in my opinion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9dVHUzf4hg
I suppose I'm starting the Diesel fanclub...Come on, admission is free!
Here's a good article: http://www.theledger.com/article/20121104/news/121109644?p=1&tc=pg
Great move by the Giants
Does anyone know the last URFA from a Div. III school to make it on the Giants?
I hate to be That Guy,but it makes me want to puke that we passed on Arthur Brown & were now hoping some LB from Mount Union can be something special
Vontaze Burfict went undrafted as well. kid looks good on tape lets see if he makes it through camp first. I'm liking the players the giants have brought in UDFA so far though.

Yea yea, he's 19, give him time, etc. etc.
But with the young guys that turn into studs, you see flashes of them being great early.
The problem with Austin Rivers is people's expectations.
The D-league was NOT made for rookies to go so they could stop being overmatched, it was made for rookies that have no minutes and need to get some games in.
If you're a rookie that gets sent down and there's minutes, it's not a good thing and it's the last thing you should want for Rivers if you do want him to succeed. If you've already given up on him, fine. Just say so. But the D-League won't help him at all.
you guys can argue about lottery pick, WHO we should have taken and all of that but it don't change the fact that he's got an below AVERAGE nba body, an AVERAGE shot, AVERAGE athleticism, plays AVERAGE defense and CAN'T finish at the rim. the driveman has been watching Rivers since the summer league and the book on him hasn't changed in nearly 6 months. All of the above stated and doesn't make his teammates better. Think DELL whiffed on this one
Think DELL whiffed on this one
if he didnt have his last name he wouldn't have whiffed TOP 20
I'm really not getting the hate by some of you on here. None of the rookies picked after Rivers have been lighting the world on fire, so to say Dell whiffed on Rivers is pretty laughable this early into his rookie year.
I don't understand the rush to negativity...Lets wait until our team is whole before we start passing such harsh judgments

Mercedes has the SLR McLaren. Audi has the R8. Porsche has the 911 Turbo and GT2. Only BMW is lacking a range-topping supercar, so how does the Bavarian automaker carry the mantle of "the Ultimate Driving Machine"? If the latest reports are to be believed, BMW may finally be coming around and producing a successor to the long gone but not forgotten M1 supercar. Hopefully this things as good as the legendary M1.
......................Their is no fate but what we make-John Connor///////I am a Car Fanatic
Yeah...saw that on Autoblog not long ago, it's a really nice looking chop. Although I don't think they gave a source for the rumor...and this has been floating around for some time. Also is this separate from the Z10?A new M1 would be awesome. They just need to actually get to it, like Honda/Acura with the NSX.
i really like the "Shanghai" grille on it (I dont know the exact name of the car that was shown at shanghai, but I remember that agressive grille) This could work, but it looks too much like a Gallardo.

Yeah, that's based off the CS Concept, which is supposedly going to be the new 8 Series. Basically someone said that future BMWs will take design cues from it, so now virtually every photochop ever done of future Bimmers is based off that. Not that that's bad, but still, people could be more original. It works really well on this one though. Here's another example, the "next" 3 Series-...oh, and the spy shots of the next 7 and 5 Series do have larger grilles and different headlights, but otherwise they're not very much like these chops.
If BMW ever built any car based off that CS concept I will officially stop liking bimmers period. I prefer the old designs to the new ones, which aren't that bad, but if they start building those fugly things, my love would fall to peices. And BMW built the V12 engine for the McLaren F1 and it's 5.0 liter M5 engine is used in the Ascari KZ1, 2 of the fastest cars ever built.
===================================================Addicted to torque...
If they make this, does that mean they won't have a performance version of the 1 series, and if they do what would they call it?

Not feeling the color, but its a decent looking chop.And i always thought that the 2 BMW badges on the back of the M1 was ridiculous.
i wanna see a new version of this beuty!
yeah the 8-series was beautiful. The 6 comes close, but we need a true new 8-series.
ALux:Mercedes has the SLR McLaren. Audi has the R8. Porsche has the 911 Turbo and GT2. Only BMW is lacking a range-topping supercar, so how does the Bavarian automaker carry the mantle of "the Ultimate Driving Machine"? If the latest reports are to be believed, BMW may finally be coming around and producing a successor to the long gone but not forgotten M1 supercar. Hopefully this things as good as the legendary M1. Besides the front grill area, the overall body of the rendering reminds me of the Saleen S5S Raptor Concept.
____________________________Currently own:My first car, a 2004 Mazda 3S Hatchback
^^^ and this car is americas version of the gallardo
^More like Tesla Roadster. Anyways, BMW does need to build something like this; their 6 series doesn't even come close to any of the other supercars by it's rival brands.
the m6 is still sweetu cant go wrong with 500 HP hi revving v10
Some answers, opinion and speculation...-Not sure what they're doing with a potential ///M version of the 1 Series. If they do build this I doubt they'll call it M1, leaving that name potentially open for the 1 Series. Or if they did, they could call the 1 Series ///M version something like M135i (the same idea as w/the M635CSi. I think they should do this regardless of any current supercar, to show respect for the original M1.) Although they haven't used that since the 80s...-As for the 8 Series...beautiful car, I posted a pic of it in the 'best car ever' thread about the Mercedes CL Class. I think the new 6er has taken its place more so than that of the E24...well it's not so exclusive or a genuine supercar like the 8 was, but it does start off pretty high in price and power. Maybe they could move the Sixer down a bit to make more room for whatever supercar they want to build. Oh hell, as long as they dump the Bangle-ism and take cues from the E24 I'll like it. (On that note...straight up retro versions of the E24 and/or E31 can't come soon enough! Please do this BMW!)-And as far as BMW adopting the CS style wholesale, as I said, forget it. If there's anything to remember about photochops of BMWs, it's that they are consistently proven wrong when the spy shots show up (seemingly more so than with other manufacturers). There's a CS-based chop of the 'next' 6 Series on TTAC, does that say enough? LOL! Hopefully, and more probably, BMW's styling in the near future will look more like the 1 Series and E92 coupe, although the new 7 does have an unnecessarily large (and aggressive) grille.
Oh BTW about the new 7 Series, Autoblog posted some pretty clear spy shots today. Certainly doesn't ape the CS Concept, but it looks a bit too fat I think, also kind of unimaginative...then again, I have the E38 in mind...they need to get back to that style. Anyway here they are-(all of them from here, link from Autoblog)

Art Attack: Bravo's Newest Competitive Reality Show
Is Work of Art cheapening art as we know it—or is it a stroke of genius?
This month, Bravo debuts Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, its newest incarnation of the network's now-famous reality-show formula (an eccentric group of contestants who excel in a particular field + three respectable judges + one attractive, loosely connected host). Fourteen artists, including painters, sculptors, architects, and one especially haughty performance artist, among others, submitted biographical home videos and attended casting calls last year so that they could compete in New York City for a $100,000 prize and solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. But, assuming that it's even possible to find America's next great artist on reality TV, will the contestants (from one of Jeff Koons' former studio assistants to a self-taught painter) produce artwork that will garner actual respect from the rather prickly art world?
The lineup of judges lends some cred: They include New York magazine art critic Jerry Saltz, curator and Salon 94 exhibition space owner Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, and gallery owner and Purple magazine editor-at-large Bill Powers. Well-known auctioneer Simon de Pury plays a Tim Gunnian mentor. And then there's self-proclaimed art enthusiast Sarah Jessica Parker, who pops up in the first episode to give well wishes. (Her company, Pretty Matches, is coproducing the show.)
So if the notoriously stuffy art scene has anything to say about Work of Art... well, never mind, it doesn't. None of the major museums I contacted (excluding the Brooklyn Museum) would agree to comment on the show, and maybe it's because they don't need to. "I don't think this is a show that's for the art world," says Amy Cappellazzo, Christie's Americas deputy chairman. "The art world has its own mechanics of how it searches out and confers status on artists, and I'm not sure this format will really compete with that."
It might not even matter whether or not serious tastemakers deem the show worthy of their consideration. Both Top Chef and Project Runway attracted millions of viewers, even though few of the contestants went on to be legitimate heavyweights in their fields. "It will inevitably be about career-building and publicizing oneself—for the judges no less than the contestants—rather than offering much about the private act of creativity," says Marcia E. Vetrocq, editor of Art in America. At best, Work of Art will accomplish what most reality shows like it do: get us watching, then get us talking, but this time about a topic that could always use exposure, no matter the medium.

Thoughts and resources on how to maintain your child's learning over the summer break.
For more than 30 years, the Lesley University School of Education and the Cambridge Public Schools, an ethnically and socio-economically diverse urban school system, have collaborated to run a summer school program. The Summer Compass program is a partnership that focuses on the goals of enhancing the academic achievement of children, supporting the preparation of new teachers, and providing professional development opportunities for veteran educators. Both the University and the school system have been able adjust to one another's programmatic needs in order to maintain this collaborative program.Compass provides a six-week academic summer program for Cambridge school children in grades pre-K-6 and satisfies the requirements or partial requirements for a practicum for Lesley University graduate and Adult Learning Division students. The program provides expanded learning opportunities in a summer enrichment program for 120-200 children, extending and reinforcing the children's learning and helping them to maintain their academic skills during the summer recess. Aligned with Lesley's mission, the program creates an inclusive school environment and trains Lesley student teachers in a setting where specialists and general educators develop and implement programs together for a diverse group of students.Benefits of the Compass ProgramSummer Compass has sustained itself over the years because all of the constituencies involved benefit from the program. Cambridge public school students and their parents, high school students from the Mayor's Kids Program, Lesley graduate students, mentor teachers and program administrators all learn and gain from the Compass experience. A true learning community is formed for all participants. Students/children. First and foremost, the program supports the Cambridge public school students by providing an affordable summer experience that offers an enriched academic program through an interdisciplinary, thematic approach. The program reinforces reading, writing and mathematics skills in small group and classroom settings and offers one-to-one reading tutorials for a group of students who would not ordinarily have access to this level of academic support during the summer. Throughout the summer, students work with a technology specialist and library assistant on developing curriculum projects and on enhancing their information-age skills. Students have opportunities to participate in field trips that support the thematic curriculum and that extend their academic experience. These combined experiences work to prevent "summer learning loss," to maintain academic skills throughout the summer, and to produce gains in literacy skills for students in tutorials. The full-day program provides a safe and enriching summer experience for many students who would not have access to educational opportunities during the long summer recess. The students make new friends with students from a variety of Cambridge schools and become part of a new learning community for the summer. The Summer Compass program provides opportunities for summer to be a "learning season" rather than a time for learning loss (Miller, 2007). For many students the summer break equals as much as a three-month loss each year in the elementary grades. This loss leads to big setbacks in reading and longterm achievement deficits that may never be closed (Allington & McGill-Franzen, 2003; Cooper, 2003). Programs like Summer Compass which are voluntary, with both enrichment and academic components and literacy and math embedded in thematic work, and which emphasize problem solving, collaboration and cooperation seem to be the most effective summer models (Miller, 2007).Parents. Parents of the students in the Compass Program are pleased to have a full-day, affordable summer program for their children that provides academic and enrichment activities in a supportive environment. According to surveys distributed to families at the end of the program each year, parents are delighted to see their children immersed in math, literacy and science activities during the summer months, as well as taking field trips, having access to technology and enjoying themselves in a social environment. They appreciate the hands-on, active learning approach and the recreational swimming program. Comments include, "This was the best for our son! He remained positive and spoke highly about his experiences daily. It was great fun for us as parents since his first year at kindergarten was difficult." "Our daughter has loved every day of Compass. Her love of reading grew at Compass, and her confidence in writing also grew." Parents also appreciated opportunities for involvement in the program and enjoyed attending class breakfasts and the school's annual potluck dinner. Each summer, an after-school program is housed in the same building as the Compass Program, making it possible for parents who work 9-5 to keep their children in one setting all day.[This section excerpted from A Century of Innovation: Lesley University, Cynthia
