5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction comic book for 6+ children,
P. Bastow "flowerman" (Worthing,UK) - See all my reviews
OK, so I have start this review by stating my two boys and I are big Sarah Sarah McIntyre and Vern & Lettuce fans. It was instant success in The DFC (a brillant comic for children but now sadly defunct) and my boys (7 and 9 at the time) instantly liked the cheeky humour and the great artwork. Sarah is an amazing artist and you can view her talents in other childrens books but this was her first stab at writing a comic. Keep an eye on Sarah as we're sure she's going to be a famous children's book illustrator for many years to come.
Of all The DFC books this one is aimed more towards younger children however older children will also like it. Its actually really nice to have all the Vern & Lettuce stories in one place. This would make a great Christmas or Birthday present.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read to bring a smile to your face - this bunny and sheep have a lot of fun together!,
When I saw the cover, I thought this would be a cute read. I love bunnies and collect items with bunnies on. Lettuce the bunny has such an entertaining time Vern. They get into so much trouble, sometimes on their own and sometimes because of Lettuce's brothers and sisters. Vern is a generous sheep, sometimes too generous - he gives up his warm, natural coat to create presents for Lettuce's family. He then cold, leaving Lettuce and her family to come up with a solution.
One of the great things about this book is how there is a story to each page (sometimes it continues onto the next page). This makes it a perfect read if readers have a short attention span or are pressed for time. Just one page will have the reader laughing away. (From what I can gather, each strip featured in The DFC weekly). Reoccurring characters include moles, polar bears, a squirrel, pigeons. Some of those are gangsters. Some are rebels. All are funny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny for older readers too,
Michael 'De Smurf�hrer' Thomsen (Denmark) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I'm a grown up male graphic novel fan with no kids whatsoever.... and this short funny book certainly managed to keep my interest. The cute art is to die for, and the humor has enough quirkiness to sustain an older readers interest... I'll certainly consider future Sarah McIntyre books, even if I'm not quite her target age group. Her career is just starting, and she'll be HUGE one day.

Drink between: 2008 - 2018 (Add My Dates)
Solid wine, drinking fine now. I was reminded of a Bordeaux blend without the cab.
Lots of savory red currant, herbs, chocolate and a dry finish. As Merlot goes in Napa, one of the better ones. Dry on the finish, but pleasing.
Dark red, liquid velvet. Aromas of black cherry, currant, raspberry, plum and pencil lead. Medium bodied. Concentrated. Cocoa, licorice, menthol and sweet oak envelope the dark fruit with decidedly dusty tannins. 15% abv! Although thoroughly enjoyable, were I to choose again, I'd wait a few more years.
Plenty of smoke, toasty oak, dark cherry and raspberry flavors with noticeable underlying greenness. Structured with some chewy tannins. Dry, dusty tannins in typical Venge style. Long dry finish. Not for the faint hearted and may be too rustic and astringent for many. This could take a few years to soften.
Drank over two days. Just as good on day 2 as it was when first poured. The aroma and flavor profile exhibit smokey aromas, and those of red currant, and chocolate. The texture is meaty with dusty tannins and a great long finish. Very dry; reflective of the Venge style.

As I watched the very first shot, and saw an impending fight, I thought to myself "there's no way he's going to animate a fight with such quality looking characters, or if he does the actions aren't going to look very good."
You proved me wrong! Wonderfully done!!
And the "... , you stupid bitch." line just topped it off so nicely for me.
haha YES though it was very labor intensive i am proud of the fight scene.
although in retrospect i regret slowing it down twice with the slo-mo bits, it probably would have been better if it had a more consistent pace.
Great stuff.
Funny stuff. I was thinking the same thing about the cobras when she said that.
What campus do you go to Griffith at? I'm going to the Gold Coast campus next year.
the college of art is at south bank. at least i think there is only one.
Really funny !!!
Great idea and nice punchline in the end :) Very funny
he reminded me of steven segal...good ;)
haha yes that was unintentional but i can't deny it.
although having researched the matter i can tell you that Steven Seagal's eyebrows are very thin and GDM's are very, very thick.

Search engines make it easier for disappointed shoppers to share their fury.
The shoes vexed her.
As my fiancée and I prepared for our low-key wedding this year, we faced hardly any headaches selecting our venue, sending out the invitations and choosing all the nice sentimental words for the ceremony. When possible we purchased our needed materials online; my wife, for instance, ordered hundreds of vintage buttons from various people across the nation so she would craft her homemade, non-organic "flower" arrangements.
But then came the shoes. My fiancée was going for a vintage look, and each night, it seemed, she would scour the web for that perfect pair. I don't pretend to know anything about shoes—I only recently graduated from Payless to higher-priced stores—but I remember the weekly disappointment she had when she opened another package and learned the shoes were the wrong color, the wrong size, the wrong style. After all, who likes constant broken promises?
Finally she found the right pair, but not before unleashing her fury on whatever ratings and review sites were relevant. My fiancée—sorry, my wife—is not a person who gives in easily to desires of revenge, but she did want to make sure all those merchants, whether boutiques or budding eBay entrepreneurs, would not go unpunished for those weeks and weeks of pre-wedding grief.
The lesson? Just because you are dealing with customers who are a time zone or two away doesn't mean you can treat them poorly and expect to get away with it. Sure, this seems obvious, but two developments this week should reinforce this lesson for any online retailer interested in having a fatter bank account.
First, Google Inc. indicated it would give more weight to reviews of merchants in paid search results. Some retailers may have had the luxury of ignoring reviews, but that is changing, says Scot Wingo, CEO and president of ChannelAdvisor Corp. "We think this is a top priority to look at right now—especially during the summer months," he says. "You don't want to roll into the holidays without having your best foot forward on these reviews."
Second, Bing, the search engine operated by Microsoft Corp., said it is working with ResellerRatings.com, a provider of syndicated reviews of online merchants. Bing had provided consumers with product reviews only. Consumers now will have access to more than 430,000 customer reviews of retailers. "This is a great way to help consumers make more informed purchase decisions," says Michael Paulson, Bing director of product management.
So, online retailers, remember to keep your promises, or you might find it easier for your customers to tell the whole world you did not.

The flashy 1992 leopard Appaloosa ge...lding made his show debut at age 3, but then colicked and was given little chance of survival.

The world of horses is full of brilliant colors and coat patterns in endless combinations! This beautiful horse is a shining examp...le of a grullo Pinto. The grullo coat color is in the dun family of colors, and is created when a dun gene dilutes the black gene. This results in a distinct smoky-grey coat that is often referred to as "mouse-colored," with the head being black or very dark brown. The coat will also feature dun characteristics which include a dorsal stripe, zebra stripes on the legs, and striping on the withers. In the American Pinto Horse Association, there are two recognized coat patterns: tobiano and overo. This grullo is displaying the overo coat pattern, which means the horse appears to be mostly colored with white markings. These markings rarely cross the back and are usually located on the horse's side and spread towards the rump or neck. A tobiano pattern appears to be a white coat with large, often overlapping areas of color. Read More

Actually chess.com should just invest in whatever servers ICC uses so most of the games don't get screwed up on time cause of lag issues. It is so inconsistent. I'll go from 1900 to 1500 over a day based on the games lost on disconnects and time issues when I'm on a 25mbps direct cable line. The chess.com leave a lot to be desired when it comes to correct time for the moves to register on games. So inconsistent!
What browser and operating system are you playing on? Do you notice the issue more at certain times of the day?
I tried on firefox and chrome. Same issue. Seems to be worst in the afternoons PST
Is this on Windows or Mac OSx?

Ashley Relvas Photography
Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer - Virginia, Maryland, & Destinations Worldwide
As a photographer, when you show up to a family session and meet people for the first time, you aren't always sure what to expect. Don't get me wrong, I always expect to love the people and have a wonderful time because obviously we have gotten to know each other somewhat through phone calls and emails ahead of time, but you have not always had the chance to meet them beforehand. I was in for SUCH a treat when I met these three for the first time at their DC apartment. As I arrived, Liz said something like, "so I found this amazing Vera Wang wedding gown at goodwill for $30 so I bought it – do you think we could use it for a few of the photos?" Umm yes, please! I absolutely love how adorable these three are together, their incredibly fun style, and just how happy sweet Cecilia is. We were able to make this session happen just before they were about to move back to South Dakota and I am so glad we were able to capture them in Cecilia's first home and neighborhood.
so fun and beautiful!!
If you follow me on Instagram, then I am sure you know by now that I love spending time on the lake. In the summer it is obviously a blast but even in the winter, we really enjoy spending a weekend on the water just relaxing. A couple months back we went down to hang for the weekend – we grilled, played corn hole, did some skeet shooting (the boys at least), and just relaxed. That Sunday I decided to take out my camera and shoot some film because far too often I forget to take pictures to just remember a random weekend.
When Kristen first contacted me about photographing her and Lee for their Christmas card, I must admit I was slightly terrified. The reason being that Kristen is an amazing film photographer herself and I admire her work so much (see that pretty photo of me to the right, she took that). Although nervous, I was also flattered and really excited about the opportunity to photograph these two. First of all, these two are beautiful together and such naturals in front of a camera but the best part was that Kristen encouraged me to try and basically just shoot film during their session. What a gift that was! Once I didn't have to worry so much about making sure I got the same pictures on digital and film 'just in case' I was able to really focus and enjoy shooting film. I absolutely love how these images (all film) came out even with the cloudy skies (towards the end check out the really dark skies behind us that brought in a downpour right as we finished). Kristen and Lee, thank you for this opportunity and the encouragement! Y'all should check out Kristen's beautiful work after looking through these images.
I truly believe love IS all around. My best friend and I always joke how we love, love. It sounds funny but it's true. I love all kinds of love and get so much joy out of the opportunity to capture it. Each love story is unique and I get excited about the idea of getting to know you and capturing what makes you (and your loved ones), you!

Citing the Vanadium's application for an initiation of this anticircumvention legislative history, we observed that anticircumvention inquiry pursuant to inquiry. Although vanadium pentoxide Congress intended to allow section 781(a) of the Act. is excluded from the scope of the order, anticircumvention inquiries into parts or components that meet the criteria of Initiation of Anticircumvention AMG Vanadium argues that the section 781(a), as ''{t}he underlying Proceeding Department's regulations and legal precedent allow for the Department to rationale of the anticircumvention Applicable Statute consider expressly-excluded statute is that, where the criteria of section 781(a) are met, the parts and Section 781(a) of the Act provides that merchandise in an anticircumvention the Department may find circumvention proceeding. AMG Vanadium cites Steel components subject to the finding of circumvention are, in all meaningful of an antidumping duty order when Wire Rope from Mexico; Affirmative merchandise of the same class or kind Final Determination of Circumvention respects, being imported as the subject merchandise, not as parts or subject to the order is completed or of Antidumping Duty Order, 60 FR assembled in the United States.
