Sindr Mogh looks -- as he puts it -- "like somethin' that crawled outta th' swamp". He's short and stocky, with bronzed skin, red eyes, and a two foot long alligator-like tail at the base of his spine. He wears elaborate blue-grey robes covered in eldritch sigils and arcane marks in geometric designs. His long blue-black hair is cascades loose over his shoulders and down his back.
Sindr ("Jus' call me 'Cinder', it's close 'nough.") is unusually cheerful for a tiefling; few things seem to upset or discourage him, and his good intentions bleed through into his demeanor. On the other hand, he has a short attention span and a mischevious streak; much to his teacher's dissatisfaction, Sindr prefers flashy, showy spells and never put in enough time to learn the slower, more delicate arcana required to master spells from the Enchantment and Necromancy schools. He prefers Evocations above all else, although he has plenty of Illusions and Conjurations in his bag of tricks, and after a few acid splash misfires, he developed a healthy respect for Abjurations as well. Sindr would have neglected learning Divinations as well, but his master declared that, should Sindr not at least master the basics of the school, he would be discharged from his apprenticeship.
Sindr typically speaks in a rough country accent, but careful listeners note that, when he casts spells, his pronunciation is absolutely perfect. In fact, the accent is mostly an affectation. Sindr uses it as a way of breaking the ice with people; it's usually harder to hate someone for having the appearance of a demon when they speak like a country bumpkin.
There is no known fiendish blood in Sindr's ancestry; either the inheritance is from an age now forgotten, or it has something to do with the terrible magical storm that wracked the countryside the night he was born. Despite his blood-red eyes and the stub of a tail at the base of his spine, Sindr's parents chose to keep him and raise him as their own rather than abandon or kill him. Their love was a constant influence on his life, and when he showed signs of magical aptitude, his parents scraped together all of their available cash and sent him to one of the famed Thayan magical academies. His time there was a rude awakening for Sindr, but his natural skill at magic and his innate magical abilities kept him from suffering too badly at the hands of the other students. Still, he knew that he had no future as a Red Wizard of Thay, and when the chance came for him to abandon his homeland, he leapt at it.

Appearance: When outside the all-concealing heavy plate that normally obscures his form, Heinrich Stronghand is a man of average height and stocky build, with wide, powerful shoulders and a look of calm, strong surety in his dark eyes. Whether in or out of armor, his raiment is unadorned and simple, nothing that could catch on the battlefield or slow him in a fight. His movements are efficient and businesslike, with motion rarely wasted.
Personality: Heinrich is, by and large, a simple man. His beliefs are firm and uncomplicated, that there is evil in the world which must be opposed with every breath, unto death. As a soldier, he understands the necessity of compromise in the short-term, but as a messenger of God, he also knows that in the end all will be brought to the light of virtue or cast down into eternal suffering.
Basic Background: I'm leaving this relatively clear for now so I don't add even more weird-ass variables to getting the Prime party working together. He's a cleric, raised and trained by the church, but I'm open to working out further background details with other PCs.

Height 3' 2" Weight 42 lbs Age 53 yearsAppearanceLike most of his kin, István is lean and long-limbed despite his diminutive stature, with a swift fluidity to his movements. What little is visible of the gnome's skin is dusky olive in tone and clean shaven, while his unkempt hair is nearly black and his furtive eyes are steely grey. Being of a secretive people, István prefers dressing in dark drab colors; the cut and style of his worn clothing and equipment reflecting the disparate lands he's traveled through. The wayfarer's whisper-soft breeches and tunic are made of black Shou silk while overtop of that the gnome wears a small dark-brown leather jerkin and a grey-green cloak. Rounding out the outfit is a pair of deceptively delicate split-toed boots, a pair of supple fingerless leather gloves, a heavy grey scarf, a pair of dark goggles and a pocket-studded leather belt and baldric which support the large shard of crystal and bedroll slung across Istvan's back. His only visible means of defense is an elaborately crafted black-enameled Shou bracer on his left forearm, which the gnome uses to deflect attacks and to house two concealed daggers. Hidden beneath his tunic however, István wears a pliable shirt of the finest mithral chain along with an under-shirt for added protection on the open road.BackgroundFree; the one word that now defines István. In his younger years the young gnome, along with most of his kinfolk, could only imagine what it meant. They were the slaves of a tyrannical human government who had conquered their homeland. Some gnomes were kept as personal servants while others were forced to mine the deep earth for precious minerals; a job the diminutive folk proved ideal for. István spent his childhood in such a mine alongside his mother, listening to the elders' tales of green pastures, sweet air and freedom. It was a dream he carried in his heart both when awake or sleeping. The young gnome's dreams proved to have power and with time they engendered within him the will and means to attempt escape.
Accused of hoarding gemstones by a foreman, István's mother was wiped to death before the young gnome. Empowered by the traumatic experience and his mother's anguish filled plea for him to run and hide, István did just that. It was a trying ordeal but István did eventually make it past the many guards and out of the mine into the open air. Once free István kept running, much further and faster than most would have imagined possible. Just as no physical barriers succeeded in barring the young gnome's escape, it seemed from that moment on as if distance, time and the laws of motion themselves had no hold on the boy.
Through prairies, forests, towns and cities the young gnome ran, exalting in the feeling of newfound freedom. István ran through fiefdoms and wildlands, until it seemed that he must surely reach the edge of the world. Without stopping, he dived off the edge and into the infinite planes beyond.

Appearance: Slender and short for a spiker, no taller than most elves, Pierce gives the appearance of a slightly raw statue, perhaps something newly minted by a slightly sadistic mind. All metallic angles and points, her spikes show through gleaming full plate armor. Her dark bronze hair flows up and out of the top her helmet in a topknot, and she bears a heavy spikey shield on her left arm. Though she has a well-made flail at hand, she is rarely seen with it in her hand.
Background and Personality: Everyone comes to Acheron to find fighters. There are many of the planes who will fight, and many more that are bred to it, by nature and profession. But few that are born with it in their blood, who breathe it every day, who live it with each motion, whose very bodies are a testament to battle. My kin are some of those few. Spikers, kin of the bladelings, we live for the battle that comes from the crashing metal of Acheron.
Yet for all those that have hired my siblings and clan, I have yet to see outside my own world. My blades are sharp, my flail is heavy, my shield is thirsty for blood, but I was not chosen to walk with the war clans. Honor in battle is life, blood in battle is life, indeed, battle itself defines who we are. Why was I not chosen?
Uncertainty plagued me, was carried in every thrust and stop, every slash and swipe. It diminished me even as I grew stronger in my craft. How could I fail when I hadn't even begun?
It is said that hate in a warrior leans to reckless action, that desire would rob me of my edge, that curiosity only annoyed potential employers.
Yet I hate that I was not chosen. I desire to fight beyond the cube of my clan. And I am curious about those that have left and never returned.
I have broken from my sept and clan, I have finally journeyed away from Acheron, and I hope this Sigil, this Cage, holds the battle I seek. If I fail myself this time, at least I will have died trying.
My name is Pierce Spinecrusher, I am a spiker from the Infernal Battlefields of Acheron, and I am here to fight.

BackgroundCang Lao is the son of Zhen and Yu Lao, a pair of affluent merchants from Shou Lung. Or, rather, he was the son of Zhen and Yu Lao...
Cang and his six brothers and sisters always accompanied their parents when they made their frequent travels across the empire in vast merchant caravans. When he was seven years old, as his family traveled with a particularly large group of wagons, disaster struck. Not in the form a bandit attack, nor a storm, but a gateway. A swirling portal opened before the family's cart, and before they could veer around it, they were through--and once they were through, it shut.
Beyond the portal was a nightmarish world of fire-filled skies and oceans of lightning, crumbling islands of soil drifting on the surface of floating spheres of water...and the slaadi. The frog-men took great pleasure in picking off those members of Cang's family who had not died due to the fireballs bursting from the ground or from the suffocating storms of sand. Cang himself was saved for last...but then he was simply saved, as a group of githzerai warriors descended upon the slaadi hunting party and drove off those that were not killed.
The gith took pity on Cang, and brought him to their monastery, floating on a stable piece of earth above a sea of fire. Some were resistant to the idea, but the majority voted to keep him, and the discovery of latest psionic talent in the boy ended the debate; he was spared from being turned out into the chaos of Limbo once again, and the gith began to tutor him in the ways of the sword, the fist, and the mind.
For twelve years, Cang studied, trained, and performed ridiculous and tedious tasks on behalf of his instructors, dutifully and generally without complaint. But after a dozen years of living with a group of alien monks and warriors, a young man can grow restless, and so Cang did. He sought the company of others like himself and of places in which he did not feel so confined. With the few belongings he had salvaged from the bodies of his slain family, a handful of items procured from the githzerai, and the blessing of the gith, he left Limbo behind.
The portal Cang used brought him to the gate-town of Xaos, where he, to say the least, saw things he had never even imagined possible. Through another gate, he made it to his destination: the city of doors, Sigil. Cang was informed by the monks of a githzerai living within the Cage who might give shelter to him...if, indeed, this githzerai was alive. Fortunately for Cang, the gith still lived, and for the past handful of days, it is with this self-exiled monk that the human warrior has dwelt. He has spent most of those days simply wandering the city, however, overwhelmed by the sheer variety of its inhabitants and habitations... and thinking that perhaps he was too hasty to leave the comfort and familiarity of the monastery behind for the even more alien chaos of Sigil's bustling and dangerous streets.
But one day, upon his wanderings through the Market Ward, a fateful meeting occurs...
*dramatic music cue*
AppearanceCang Lao is on the short side, and fairly slim; he is quite athletic, but not overly muscular, possessing a long-limbed and wiry frame. His skin retains the tanned look it has possessed since he was young, although he styles his hair in the topknot fashion of the githzerai monks with whom he dwelt--that is, those githzerai who kept their hair. His clothing and possessions are very simple and lack decoration; he wears the loose tan tunic and pants of the githzerai, belted with a thin rope, and even his breastplate and shield are devoid of adornment. The only truly ornate object Cang Lao owns is the thin-bladed, ruby-encrusted longsword his father possessed, a blade called Xue-ye, which Cang now wears at his side in its original scabbard.

Description and BackgroundAnthony has short, light brown hair and extremely bright blue eyes. He has a fair complexion. He is of about average height for an Aasimar at 5 10 but is a bit thinner than most. He wears plain clothes that seem somehow unsuited to him. He also wears a set of leather armor that looks as though he has had it for a considerable amount of time. On his belt is a quite unremarkable dagger.
His family is a bunch of top shelf types, and his parents are both Aasimar. His dad is a mercykiller. However, perhaps due in part to teenage rebellion, he despised the mercykillers and their methods and ran away from home he ended up in the Hive, and somehow through shear luck, manage to survive long enough for someone decent to find him and decide to teach him how not to die like a berk. His parents are both Aasimar and he has two sisters, one two years older and one a year younger. He has not see anyone in his family since he left home.
The person who took him in and took care of him was Dinah Harin, a human woman who was born in Sigil and apparently ended up living in the Hive due to some family tragedy. Of course she never speaks of it, just as Anthony avoids speaking of his own past. Over the years he has continued working with her as an information gatherer and broker, as well as a part time tout. For the most part this has gone smoothly. Hes made many contacts, including the a Modron Outcast commonly referred to as Modoc, and an old male Bariaur named Kalel, both of whom taught him the languages of their former cultures. He has also learned to communicate with the Dabus better than most due in no small part to actually trying. Hes found that they can be quite well informed at times. Other contacts are: Holes, a (formerly male human) zombie that always has fliers and whatnot pinned to his body. Jerid, a male tiefling Chaosman who is often actually talking about something if you pay close attention. Lilly, a female tiefling, and a sensate who clearly has some succubus ancestors and takes full advantage of the traits this bestows on her to get by, though she avoids sucking the life out of anyone. Though she is a Sensate she is also rather cowardly, and so has never tried anything that she thinks would be dangerous. Lorne, a male Aasimar with distinctly elven features well they would be to someone who knew what elves looked like. Hes a slightly experienced Planewalker and trader.
One day while he was walking along, tapping his left leg with the fingers of his left hand, he suddenly found himself in a giant field of vegetation. Staring around aghast at all of the green, taking deep breaths so as not to panic, he looked around himself, behind himself, above, and bellow, for some sign of the door. Unfortunately, he didn't see one, he wandered in a general direction for several minutes slowly starting to feel much more at ease. Almost unnaturally, though he was still completely lost. Just as he was starting to wonder whether or not there were any people on this plane, because as pleasant as it was, it was also kind of lonesome, he heard a soft rustle and looked all around and finally up to see the second most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. "Uh..." He said, as she landed. "Are you an angel?" The woman nodded and spoke in a voice as beautiful as her appearance. "Yes child, welcome to Ellysium." "Ch-, Child? Are you my great grandmother or somethin?!" The woman cocked an eyebrow amusedly at him. "I don't think so... Look, you look a bit lost, are you in need of aid?" "Oh... welll... um... See... I was kinda just walkin allong, Um... tappin my leg with my left hand... and then bang. I'm here, and the door's gone." The woman looked surprised at first by his words but understanding quickly dawned on her face. "I see, you are from the city of doors. Hm... I know of a portal that can return you there if you wish... but you are welcome to stay here as well." He paused for a moment, thinking it over. This place was certainly nice but, he really did need to return to the cage, there were folks who counted on him. Besides... this place was kind of... boring. "Uh, I better get back... This bur- er, place... is real nice, and I wouldn't mind bangin aroun with ya for a while but... I really oughta get back fore I'm missed. Er, thanks." The woman gave him a small smile, and cast a spell, teleporting them to the shore of a large lake. She pointed to the doorway hanging in the air beside them. "Here we are. Remember my child, that you are always welcome in Elysium." "Yeah, thanks. Seeya round some time, I hope." He stepped through the portal and stumbled at the half foot drop on the other side. Cursing as he dusted himself off he looked around to find himself staring at the buildings of The Lady's Ward. "Augh... I'm gonna be late! I hope I don't run into me old man...." and with that he set off with haste in an attempt to return to the Hive.

Vervain is a gaunt figure, usually in motion, gesticulating with his spiky right gauntlet or pacing. There is a slightly detached quality to his mania, enhanced by the faceted flickering crystal adhering to his forehead. He wears fine clothes, complemented by a very trendy cloak. His hat is a floppy sort, with a plume, sitting atop hair swept neatly back into a short tail. Under the cloak, one might hear the clink of metal rings, or catch sight of a number of scrolls and wands ruining the line of his vest.
Well, he used to be the sort that would compact with evil agents and willingly introduce himself to them as "Vervain". Now, he's the sort that thinks that if a fool kid spent all that effort to get various entities to call him something ridiculous like that, he can live with it. He's not so keen on living with the evil agents. He's also friendly (since it never pays to make enemies) and forward thinking (as it's not real pleasant to dwell on the past.)
It was supposed to be an arcane apprenticeship. After a few months of sacrificing cats, the young-lad-soon-to-be-known-as-Vervain had figured out that: 1. Whatever he was learning, it sure as hell wasn't mage hand 2. It was pretty darn evil 3. They were out of cats, but his master was chalking out another diagram in the cellar.
An apt pupil, he managed to arrive at a workable solution, that is, attack his master first and offer him to the arriving demon in exchange for power. The circumstances might allow one to roughly classify this as self-defense, but that really doesn't excuse Vervain for killing his family later.
Fortunately for his soul, age has mellowed him and the intervening years have allowed the trio of guilt, conscience, and chafing under the not-so-gentle direction of an endless swarm of creatures more powerful than he to cultivate a mighty sense of discontent with his station in life.

text: Apple has begun selling the Apple TV set-top box in India following the December launch of the iTunes Store for music and movies. BGR reports that the Apple TV is now available in India for Rs 8,295 including taxes, roughly equivalent to $153 US. Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed last month that the company sold 2 million Apple TV boxes during the holiday quarter, showing 60% year-over-year growth. Cook's language around the product was consistent with prior messaging, saying that television was "an area of intense interest for us" and that "there is a lot we can contribute in this space and we continue to pull the string and see where it leads us".

Dirk Nowitzki tallied 32 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals as the Dallas Mavericks edged the Oklahoma City Thunder, 128-119, in overtime on Tuesday.
Nowitzki netted eight points in the fourth quarter and seven in overtime, as Dallas outscored OKC 17-8 in the extra session.
Seven Mavericks reached double figures in the triumph, with Jose Calderon hitting six 3-pointers en route to 22 points and Monta Ellis and Vince Carter posting 17 and 16 points, respectively.
Despite the loss, Kevin Durant's scoring tear continued with 43 points on 15- of-27 shooting. Durant has now scored at least 25 points in 36 consecutive games, just four shy of Michael Jordan's all-time record of 40 games.
Russell Westbrook, who missed Monday's win over Denver to rest his surgically repaired right knee, returned to the court and tallied 23 points, eight assists and seven boards. The Thunder saw their four-game winning streak come to an end.

Nice board- and as ever- a nice review.
"One of the reasons that the 850E/RDRAM-1066 combo never really took off is the lack of availability of RDRAM-1066. The chipset has been available since the middle of the year and we have yet to see this high speed memory available anywhere locally. This may also be one of the reasons why some of the motherboard manufacturers have shied away from producing a board based on the 850E. Gigabyte isn't one such manufacturer- in fact, they're the first ones to use the 850E with the ICH4 Southbridge with their 8IHXP motherboard which is what we have for you today."

Demon racks up 20k BB users
Demon has almost doubled the number of broadband punters over the last six months to more than 20,000 users. The ISP of telecoms outfit, Thus, said the growth had come "despite strong competition in the SME market".
Indeed, if a survey published last week is anything to go by, then Thus is likely to find that the SME market will remain competitive for some time to come.
For while nine out of ten companies rate broadband as an important issue for business, half want some kind of tax break to help offset the cost. So, it seems that there are punters out there - as long as the price is right.
In a trading update published today Thus confirmed it was on track to make some cash by the end of March. It has raised its EBITDA (earnings before interest etc) forecast to between £25m and £30m for the year, up from £20m-30m. Revenue for the full year is expected to be between £290m and £295m.
However, Thus warns of "market turbulence" and is still "cautious on the general economic outlook and the sector is experiencing pricing pressure led by distressed operators".
By mid morning shares in Thus were up 0.6p (7 per cent) at 8.75p. ®

WINNIPEG -- The CFL has admitted it made a mistake during Friday night's game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Tom Higgins, the league's director of officiating, said Monday the league's replay command centre officials erred when they reviewed a Bomber challenge that Ticats quarterback Kevin Glenn fumbled on a third-quarter run at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Glenn took off running with six minutes left in the third and the Ticats leading 14-0. Bomber defensive tackle Deji Oduwole hit Glenn at Winnipeg's 21-yard line, popping the ball loose. The on-field officials blew the play dead because they felt Glenn was down by contact, but Winnipeg's Don Oramasionwu fell on the ball shortly after the whistle anyway.
The rule book states that if a team challenges the call, it's deemed a fumble and their own player fell on the ball "directly and immediately" even if it's after the whistle then the squad that recovered takes possession.
That's exactly what happened on Friday night, but the replay officials in Toronto didn't see it that way.
"This is going to go down as an incorrect ruling, because we didn't allow enough time," Higgins said. It's believed those in the command centre watched the replay in slow motion, which Higgins said "distorts reality."
"When it went to the command centre, they ruled that it was a fumble," Higgins said. "But they were looking at the second aspect of it, which is 'directly and immediately' recovered.
"And that's where we feel we erred. That was the choice of the command centre, and we're not perfect. We take responsibility, and we want to hopefully learn from it."
Two plays later, Glenn threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Mann that gave the Ticats a 21-0 lead. Hamilton went on to win the game 28-7.
From here on out, Higgins noted, "we're going to add time to it as far as the interpretation of 'immediately and directly.'"
Higgins said the replay command centre reviewed 90 plays during the 2009 season and made two mistakes. He wants fans to trust instant replay despite Friday's error.
"It's a shame, because that's what we have replay for," Higgins said. "People now are losing faith in the fact that it can't get it done. It's still human. There's a human element to it and it's disappointing that it happens, but we deal with it. We move on.
"We know there's going to be some other mistakes that are going to occur. We hope that we can minimize them."

Internationally-renowned EDM purveyor, Skrillex, released Recess a few weeks ago. Even after years of popularity on the festival front and millions of fans, it is Skrillex's first full-length album.
Now he's released his first single from his first-ever album and we sort of feel like we're watching our super-talented child blossom into a man.
"Ragga Bomb" comes at your strong with a reggae backbeat and a late '80s/early '90s UK rave vibe that's reflected in the dark, dank, and dance-oriented apocalyptic treat of a video that accompanies it.
The Terence Neale directed video filmed in South Africa is a controversial stunner. Watch above.

Gera happy at West Brom
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Zoltan Gera insists he is not thinking about his long-term future.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Zoltan Gera insists he is not thinking about his long-term future.
The Hungary international is in the final year of his contract at The Hawthorns, having made over 100 appearances since joining from Ferencvaros in 2004.
He could arrange a Bosman transfer in the New Year, but the 28-year-old is happy to put his club future on hold.
"Will I be free in the winter transfer period? I don't know how it goes," Gera told skysports.com.
"I have a year-long contract and I'm really uninterested about it, I just focus on the next game."
Gera also has no qualms about spending a second season at Championship level, insisting he is happy to abide by Baggies manager Tony Mowbray's decisions.
He added: "I couldn't sign for another team, that's all, and I'm not disappointed about it.
"I'm a player of West Bromwich Albion and they have the right to decide upon me.
"Our squad has got stronger, but there are many rivals, for example the relegated teams from the Premier League."

WOODS CROSS — A gas leak at the HollyFrontier Corp. refinery temporarily evacuated the location Monday.
The fire broke out on a hose transporting gas oil about 2:30 p.m., setting off an alarm signaling all employees not involved in containing the problem to exit the facility, said Mike Astin, a spokesman for the refinery.Comment on this story
The fire was contained by HollyFrontier personnel and allowed to burn out without injury or incident, Astin reported. Local police and fire crews were also on scene to provide support, as well as shutting down nearby 800 West between 500 South and 400 North as a precaution.
"Any material that's being released, we don't want it to come out in a combustible form," Astin said. "We'd like it to burn right there so we've got it contained and it doesn't create a hazard."
Damage was limited, but the affected refinery unit will be inoperable for about a day while repairs are made, he said.
After the fire, personnel from the refinery tested the air in nearby communities to make sure it was safe, Astin said.

Generous Nine-Year-Old Gives Away Disney Trips to Military Families
Brendan Haas came up with a pretty cool way to give back to military families. Inspired by the famous story of the guy who through a long chain of Craigslist trades was able to turn a paperclip into a house, a nine-year old launched what he called the "Soldier for a Soldier" initiative. Starting with a toy soldier, Haas kept trading up until he amassed $900 worth of Disney gift certificates, airfare and hotel credits.

LONDON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines will agree a partnership on transatlantic flights once the U.S. carrier seals a deal to buy Singapore Airlines' 49 percent stake in the British airline, a source close to the UK carrier said.
The source said Virgin founder Richard Branson was not immediately looking to sell any of his 51 percent stake in the airline and that he was "concentrating on working with Delta" if the U.S. group successfully buys Singapore's stake.
Virgin and Delta plan to set up a revenue sharing deal on flights between Britain and the U.S. which would involve a code-share agreement, allowing both to sell flights on the other airline and share revenues from ticket sales, the source said.
The partnership would be similar to that operated by IAG's British Airways and American Airlines on transatlantic routes.
Weekend press reports said Air France-KLM, which also has a partnership with Delta on some transatlantic routes, was in talks to buy part of Branson's stake - a deal which would give Delta and Air France-KLM control over Virgin Atlantic.
However, Branson is unlikely to sell down his stake in the near future, the source added.

Escape From Iraq — After 55 Years in Captivity
YNet has this incredible story:
Fifty-five years after she was abducted from her family's home in Baghdad by her Muslim neighbor and forced to renounce her Judaism, Hannah Menashe managed to flee Iraq and find her way to one of Israel's European embassies. Her long, exhausting journey is finally coming to an end these days, as she will soon be reunited with he family in Israel, who thought her murdered all these years.
Worst Argument for Staying in Iraq… Ever
Should we stay in Iraq because kids are dying in Chicago? This silly shot at Barak Obama came to our attention via the Republican Jewish Coalition's blog. But the RJC's blogger seems to like the reasoning.

I feel a bit cheeky asking here, but can anyone help?
The other painting is (apparently) "in the style of" a famous painter from about 200 years ago. That's all we know on that one. Everything in it has meaning.
If no one here can help, there is a very good online Languages forum at:
It has many native speaker contributors. I've just checked and they have a section for Chinese. So if no one here is able to help you, perhaps you'd be able to find a contributor there who could. I'm not sure whether they allow photos (I know they don't allow audio or video) but if not, perhaps you could post your photos on a photo site and then post a link? Or perhaps you could simply explain the situation as you have here, and ask for advice or help?
Actually, I'm sure that Google would bring up lots of other places online where you'd be able to find help from people who are bilingual. (For example, there are loads of Silicon Valley residents who speak both languages fluently.)
It's mainly tattoos but I've seen other objects posted there. From the sounds of the latest entries, it sounds like he's getting bored with the same tat mistakes and might like seeing something new.
Also, PM Amazonia. I know she speaks Chinese. Not sure how well she reads it.
[This message edited by Holly-Isis at 5:55 AM, April 2nd (Wednesday)]
I would PM TCD. She reads more than I do.
The others are too stylized for me. Kind of like reading calligraphic cursive Shakesperean English.
Listen instrument read book (good for) person (something...)
Ama - do you concur?
Basically, music and studying molds the scholar.
I usually tell people things say crazy white man.
D-Day: 12/21/2011
Confronted him: 12/22/2011
This is the most difficult thing I've ever done.
Someone from work suggested the artist enjoyed playing instruments and reading and was eager for the leisured life.
So we've got the gist of it now. Thanks. We'll enjoy the other painting as just that. A nice painting!

New Highway Plans Clash With Greehouse Gas Reduction Plans
The air board and the California Transportation Commission are operating on different schedules, and the air board seems unaware that transportation experts are now planning projects that won't get built for a decade or more. It could all lead to a collision among different state agencies.
John Barna, executive director of the CTC, also said the state lacks enough money to build all of the projects that the state is counting on to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He advocates congestion pricing.

A large piece of land in Minneapolis is now on the market -- and, according to neighborhood leaders, future development could redefine the area.
The Minneapolis School District owns 6.5 acres at Lake Street and Hiawatha in the Corcoran neighborhood. Buildings there house various district offices and schools, but the land is probably best known as the site of a popular farmers market.
Dollie Crowther with city's economic development office said it's also a rare chance to redevelop such a large patch of land within city limits.
"You can get a whole lot of development ideas from a site so large, and where it's located, the entrance, the exit," Crowther said. "And a really savvy developer will really have to make some decisions on how he's going to develop, or how she's going to develop, this site."
The district is now asking for development proposals, which excites Eric Gustafson, with the Corcoran Neighborhood Association.
"You hear a lot of stories in the news about trying to stop or slow down -- put a barricade up in front of development," Gustafson said. "That's not happening here; we're trying to shape development and I think it's really seen as an opportunity for the neighborhood."
Officials said they expect proposals to include housing and retail, but they also want the farmers market and nearby light rail station incorporated into plans.
Bids are due in November, with the school board scheduled to make its choice in December.

Bulls vs. Sixers: Game 6 TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and MoreMay 9, 2012
The Chicago Bulls are still alive in the 2012 NBA playoffs, but as they prepare for Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers, it will be very difficult to overcome the deficit.
Currently, the 76ers lead the series 3-2. They had a great chance to end the series and advance to the next round to play the winner of the series between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks, but the Bulls fought hard to remain in the postseason.
Ever since Derrick Rose went down, the Bulls have been noticeably struggling. They continue to get hit with the injury bug, but it's a great testament to the character of the team that they are still competing hard.
This is crunch time, and the Bulls don't want to go home, especially since they're the No. 1 seed. Despite the injuries, they still have the talent to win this series, but beating Philadelphia in the next two games will be tough.
With that said, let's dig into some specifics for this Game 6 showdown.
When: Thursday, May 10 at 7 p.m. ET
Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
Watch: NBA TV
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
Betting Line: 76ers (-3.5) according to Vegas Insider
Key Injuries
*According to CBS Sports
PG Derrick Rose (knee): Out
C Joakim Noah (ankle): Questionable
No injuries reported
What's At Stake?
For the Bulls, this is once again a game they must win or else they'll be sent home. To be ousted in the first round of the playoffs would be a crushing blow to a team that worked so hard to be the top seed.
For the 76ers, a victory sends them to the second round, but a loss frees Chicago of all the pressure and puts it all on Philadelphia. The 76ers were up 3-1, but should this series reach Game 7, they'll be feeling a ton of heat, which won't bode well for them.
What They're Saying
K.C Johnson covers the Bulls for the Chicago Tribune, and he tweeted what Noah had to say about playing in Game 6.
Joakim Noah, who declined interview requests, tells @swirsk054 on team web site he's "feeling better" and he's "hoping" he can play Game 6.— K.C Johnson (@KCJHoop) May 9, 2012
The Bulls definitely need Noah out on the court, even though they won without him in Game 5. He's a vital member of the team and certainly makes them better overall.
After the Game 5 loss, Andre Iguodala told Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News that losing was tough but he'd ready for Game 6.
It's frustrating that we couldn't make shots. We got some open looks, I got some open looks. They weren't going in. I feel really positive about Thursday. I can't wait to play again.
Iguodala was 4-19 from the field and 1-6 from three-point land, which is something that can't happen again if the 76ers are going to close the series out on Thursday.
Bulls Key Player
Luol Deng scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Bulls recent win, which was his best performance of the series.
Chicago desperately needs that type of production again or else they're toast. In each of the Bulls' losses this series, Deng has been a non-factor, shooting as low as 25 percent in Game 2.
If the Bulls are going to stay alive in the postseason, it's up to Deng to perform at a high level and shut the 76ers down. It won't be easy on the road, but it has to be done.
76ers Key Player
Jrue Holiday has been on a tear for the 76ers in this series, averaging 19 points per game. The stud point guard is thriving with Rose out for Chicago.
Philadelphia needs Holiday to dominate in Game 6, as his success will help the entire team.
They 76ers have to eliminate the Bulls tonight, so keep and eye on Holiday because he's such a crucial player.
Key Matchup
As soon as Rose went down, the pressure to win in Chicago was placed on Deng and Carlos Boozer. Deng has had his ups and downs, but in Game 6 he'll have to thrive offensively as well as defensively.
Deng is the key player and him squaring off against Iguodala is the key matchup. With Iguodala's poor performance in Game 5, expect him to bounce back strong, making Deng work extra hard.
He won the matchup in Game 5, but there's no guarantee Deng gets the best of Iguodala in Game 6.
In addition to those two going head-to-head, the matchup down low between Boozer and Elton Brand is also extremely important, as the winner of that battle significantly improves his team's chances of winning.
This should be another close game, and the hope is that both teams put up more points than the horrifying outcome of Game 5.
Look for both teams to come out strong, but in the end, the Bulls walk away victorious because they will want this win more.
The Bulls know they need it to stay alive, and that will fuel them past Philadelphia to force a Game 7.
Bulls 82, 76ers 75

What are you waiting for?! Come experience what the far north has to offer, having alot of fun along the way!
