(For this past program, we offer two options for purchase: a Homestudy (DVD and written materials) or written materials alone.)
Lawyers, vineyard operators, wine producers and distributors, government regulators involved with the production and distribution of wine, and anyone interested in the winery and wine distribution business
Starting and maintaining vineyards and wineries is difficult enough, but compliance with the constantly changing permitting system and policies is a unique challenge. This conference will address the ins and outs of operating wineries and vineyards, including changes in legislation and regulations in wine law and financing.
The program will progress from getting a handle on costs through employment and immigration law issues, land use and water rights. Sales and distribution, financing challenges and strategies, as well as legislative trends and regulatory processes, will also be addressed.
This event will bring together experts from a variety of perspectives and disciplines to share their experiences, challenges and success stories regarding this evolving landscape.

What is holiness?
It is difficult, today to ask this question. As it is difficult, on the other hand, to obtain an answer that explains fully the most profound and complete meaning of a such particular condition.
If we look at the life of Leonard Murialdo, we are struck by the veil of normality that wraps his whole existence. A chronological succession of works and events that wind without a particular search for visibility or emphasis, without scenes of a physical or mystical heroism that we would expect from those whom the Church declares saints.
His life
Leonard Murialdo was born in Turin on October 26, 1828. His father, a wealthy stockbroker, died in 1833. His mother, a very religious woman, sends her little "Nadino" to boarding school in Savona, at the Piarist Fathers, where he stays from 1836 to 1843. Back in Turin, he attends theology at the University and in 1851 becomes a priest. He chooses immediately to work in the first Turin oratories, among the poor and lowlife boys living in the outskirts: at the oratory of the Guardian Angel, until 1857, and then at the oratory of St. Louis, as director, 1857-1865.
Murialdo narrated by Ferruccio Amendola
In the service of the poorest
Three are the main areas in which saint Leonard did his ministry: oratories, welcoming poor and abandoned youth, the catholic movement.
From the boys of the peripheries of Turin, who spent all day on the street, to the poorest without family or abandoned by parents, till mutual aid and the Christian formation of workers, saint Leonard
Murialdo committed himself untiringly to those who in his time were without any value in the social scale.
The pedagogy of love
The style with which saint Leonard Murialdo lived his educational ministry among poor youth was inspired by values of Christian pedagogy, but also by suggestions of the world in which he lived;
it sinks its roots in the qualities of his heart and mind, but it is also nourished by his deep inner experience.
His writings
With this title we refer to the handwritings of the saint excluding his letters and spiritual Testament. They have been published in 13 volumes by the Historical Center of the Josephites of Murialdo.
It deals with conferences, homilies, meditations, interventions to catholic congresses, talks of circumstance, various notes…
It is an indispensable material in order to know the spirituality, pedagogy and charitable and social ministry of the saint.

F-35 - It's flying, but will it ever get off the ground?
The whole F-35 programme has been dogged by delays and cost increases which have led to the recent dismissal of the project chief by US Defence secretary Robert Gates. It remains highly uncertain just how many jets will be bought and by whom, and this affects the likely cost of each plane.
Though the F-35 had been planned to be bought in thousands by the US forces alone, suggesting good economies of scale and affordable prices for export customers down the road, critics of the programme are now alleging that costs are so far out of control that the well-known military procurement "death spiral" process has set in: higher price, fewer planes bought, unit cost driven up even higher, even fewer planes bought and so on.
However it's important to note that if the F-35 is successful it has the potential to destroy large amounts of the present global military aerospace industry. If it does get made in large enough numbers to be offered cheaply in time, it will be more sophisticated and yet cheaper than any other combat jet on the market, in all likelihood putting several of its competitors out of business in decades to come. This is probably a major reason why so many aerospace people are desperate for it to fail.
But there are others who feel that the Western fighter jet industry is overlarge, bloated, has no real threat to confront any more and is consuming funds which might be better spent on simpler things such as infantrymen or helicopters. They might be hoping that the F-35 can resolve its problems.
Others such as the Royal Navy feel they simply must have the F-35B in particular, as the new British carriers will have no catapults and so will require jumpjets - and the F-35B is the only one on offer.
The F-35B hover-jet also has other issues apart from cost, however. Its hellishly hot and violent exhaust downwash is expected to warp and buckle a ship's flight deck, for one - Brit carrier designers take note. British engineers and test pilots are also sceptical of its ability to make a hovering deck landing with weapons still aboard, a vital capability for a patrol fighter (which will be a major role for the jet with the Royal Navy, unlike the US Marines where it will mainly be a strike plane).
To deal with this, Brit test pilots and boffins have developed a "Shipboard Rolling Vertical Landing" (SRVL) technique, where a jumpjet sets down still going fast enough to get lift from its wings as well as its engine - but slow enough that it can stop within the confines of a carrier deck without arrester wires. SRVL, in addition to letting an F-35B land in a heavier condition, should also mitigate the deck-buckling issue. It will avoid the need to run engines at maximum redline power during landing, too, which causes a lot of wear and tear.
But none of this will be any use if Blighty can't afford any F-35s, so the Royal Navy will be watching the situation in America anxiously. ®
No F-35Bs needn't mean no carriers, however. It would be possible to alter the ships' design to include catapults. This would be easiest using electric mass-driver ones of the sort now under development for the next US Navy supercarrier - alternatively ordinary steam cats could be used. The latter option would mean installing auxiliary steam boilers alongside the ship's gas-turbine engines, or changing them to nuclear propulsion. Nuclear would cost a bit more, but would offer extra benefits: the ships wouldn't need to be refuelled, and the absence of exhaust funnels and intake trunks for gas plant would significantly enlarge the hangars and flight decks.
With catapult carriers, the UK could buy much cheaper F-18 tailhook jets - or perhaps F-35Cs later on, if Stealth were truly deemed necessary. It would also be possible to buy Hawkeye tailhook radar planes as used by the US and France, rather than having to develop a custom chopper or tiltrotor radarcraft, which would cost more and not be as good.

hey everyone!
i havent been playing too much after the homestead update (mostly waiting for the s+ fix , you never know what "unknown features" may have been introduced).
I've heard and today can confirm that platform plus snap points have gone FUBAR. take a look at these
as you can see, the parts wont snap with any angle. and since the mod author left and i dont see anyone working on the open source mod, im assuming this is either never gonna be fixed or it will take A Long time.
anyone has any workarounds? i figured out what to do with full wedges. i'll just snap them to walls. but what about other parts ? (inner wedges and outer wedges most importantly)

Financing a Foreclosure
Investing in Real Estate
Can I get financing on a foreclosure?
One reason there are few bidders at foreclosure sales is that it is next to impossible to get financing for such a property. You generally need to show up with cash and lots of it, or a line of credit with your bank upon which you can draw cashier's checks.
· Are foreclosures a good investment?
· Are there different types of foreclosures?
· How do I find a foreclosed property?
· How does HUD affect my buying a foreclosure?
· Where do you find government foreclosed homes?

Just weeks after what would have been his 47th birthday, a street in Brooklyn, New York, was renamed on Monday for the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G.
The Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation previously announced that the stretch of St. James Place between Gates Avenue and Fulton Street will be renamed Christopher Wallace Way, according to KTLA sister station WPIX in New York City.
A large crowd gathered in the rain to witness the ceremony, video from the scene showed.
The block is where the rapper grew up and the initiative to change the name was approved by the Brooklyn Community Board 2 back in November.
"Honoring Biggie symbolizes more than just one man," LeRoy McCarthy, who spearheaded the initiative, told Rolling Stone at the time. "It symbolizes a culture. It symbolizes a borough. It symbolizes a people, and hip-hop is worldwide."
The Notorious B.I.G. — also known as Biggie Smalls and born Christopher Wallace — was 24 years old when he was gunned down in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997.

Jan – March 2019 Update
We have had an incredible first term on campus and we are so thankful for every life that has been impacted and the momentum we are seeing on campus. As I've mentioned before, the fact that we are able to have a bigger team on campus this year has made the world of difference!
On both Centurion Academy and Open Window
OPEN WINDOW Christian Forum Event
Once a term the Open Window Christian Forum hosts an event on campus to bring together students from different religious views and to create a greater awareness on campus for other Christians as well as to create a space where skeptics can ask questions and gain a better understanding into the Christian faith.
The topic for term 1 was a conversation between a Christian and an agnostic where both shared on the reasons for their belief, asked questions to one another and then an opportunity was given to questions from the crowd.
The turnout to the event was huge and afterwards we were able to have a couple of good conversations with students who don't believe.
EVERY NATION CAMPUS Tshwane Camp
We are starting the second term with an Every Nation Campus Tshwane camp where students from all of our campuses across Tshwane will be coming together. The theme for the camp is REVOLUTION – a Gospel revolution that starts in the heart of an individual, spreads across campuses, into the nations and ultimately changes the world!
Pray with us as we trust for students to get saved and for new student leaders to stand up and the message of Jesus to hit our campuses like a REVOLUTION never seen before!
We are saying goodbye (more see you later) to these two legends – Robbie and Amike. They will be leaving for their first nation of the year – Mozambique where they will meet up with the Every Nation Maputo church and specifically focus on reaching students on campus in Mozam! We will keep you updated on the incredible things bound to happen during their journey!
GHENT, Belgium
The team has just come back from the mission to Ghent, Belgium where they worked with the Every Nation church in Ghent specifically to reach students on campus. We will have a full mission feedback Sunday on the 7th of April – we will share that podcast with you!
From the quick feedback we have received – God has done SO MUCH in the hearts of the team and all of them come back with a greater fire for Jesus and a love for people who don't know Jesus! During their time in Ghent they also had many good conversations on campus and would then invite students to dinner talks around specific topics and questions students have about faith, the meaning of life etc.
Outreach Internship 2019
From 25 April to 5 May we will have our second Outreach Internship happening in Stellenbosch. As part of the National Evangelism team for Every Nation Southern Africa this is something we are so excited about!
The aim of the Outreach Internship is to identify and train local church based evangelists who will be able to come alongside their local church leaders and infuse a heart for evangelism, provide training for church members and ultimately see people get saved, disciples and raised up as leaders in their respective spheres.
We are expecting between 60-80 people at the internship and we trust that this will have a huge impact in local churches across Southern Africa!

ROSEMONT—If the Rush come out against Dallas in this Friday's Playoff opener,it will be a short Post Season.This was a train wreck from the very start.Despite hoping to gain momentum before their playoff showdown with the Vigilantes, the Rush lost their final regular season game against the Milwaukee Mustangs 54-34 in front of 10,269 fans at the Allstate Arena.
"We just beat ourselves tonight," said Rush head coach Bob McMillen. "We didn't give our team the opportunity to win."
First the good news, WR Reggie Gray led the Rush with five touchdown receptions for 123 yards as he also broke the Rush franchise record for most receptions in a single season. He now has 130 receptions this season. Gray also tied the team record for most touchdowns in a season with 53. Now the bad news, the Rush had numerous opportunities to overtake the Mustangs but committed five turnovers and were unable to overcome the hot offense of the Mustangs, who finished off their regular season 7-11.Milwaukee took advantage of some early turnovers by the Rush to jump out to a 9-6 lead in the opening period. Rush QB J.J. Raternik committed two turnovers as the defensive line of the Mustangs overpowered the the Rush offense early on.Things got even more difficult for the Rush in the second quarter; Milwaukee went on a 21-0 run and extended their lead to 30-6 with 7:26 in the second period after Mustangs DL Broderick Stewart scored a touchdown off a fumble by Rush FB Johnie Kirton. However, Gray scored back-to-back touchdowns to provide life to the Rush offense and helped the Rush to get within 10 points of the Mustangs at the half.The Mustangs, however, went on a 14-0 run as QB Gino Guidugli threw two touchdown passes to WRs Dwayne Eley Jr. and Victor Williams to give Milwaukee a 44-20 lead with 9:43 in the third period. Guidugli finshed the game with three touchdown passes going 18 of 28 for 193 yards and Eley Jr. led the Mustangs receiving corps with two touchdown receptions for 58 yards.The Rush put forth a valiant final effort in the fourth quarter as the offense, led by backup QB Dominic Randolph, was able to muster 14 more points. Randolph played the majority of the game after entering early in the second quarter. He finished the night going 11 for 16 for 167 yards and three touchdowns. But the Mustangs answered every Rush score and seized complete control of the game after Guidugli's third and final touchdown pass with 4:42 remaining on the clock.
"This isn't how you would like to enter the playoffs," said McMillen. "But we will work hard this week to come back dominant against the Vigilantes."
The regular season is complete and the Rush will now turn their attention to the AFL playoffs as they meet Dallas at home on Friday, July 29th at 7:30 pm CST. With DB Vick Hall expectedback,it should give the Rush a big boost.

Bible in 90 Days Day 38 Using the SOAP Method
Job 8 to Job 24
8 Job's friends talk to him about what he is going through. They ask him what he has done wrong and tell him that if he was perfect, God would take these problems away from him so he must have done something wrong and he should admit his fault.
9 Job asnwers that God is great and that he cannot contend with God. If god does not take away the trouble there is nothing Job can do.
10 Job talks to God and tells Him that he understands that God does what God wants and that if Job is wicked, God should treat him as such but if Job was good Job would not raise his eyes to God and Job wished he had never been conceived.
11 Job's friends responded to him that Job claimed to be pure but obviously he was not and should admit it.
12 Job responded that God does as God pleases and He can punish the just and forgive the unjust as He sees fit
13 Job tells his friends that he is not inferior to them. Job says God knows what He wants and that even if God kills Job, Job will trust God.
14 Job says that life is finite and that God has hidden Job's iniquity from Job.
15 Job's friend says Job is speaking iniquity and his mouth is crafty
16 Job responds that if his friends were in his position, he would not condemn them, but encourage them and build them up.
17 Job seems to be awaiting death and asks where is hope
18 Job's friend describes the various ways the wicked are punished by God
19 Job asked his friends how long would they insult him and hurt him with their words. He also states that when he dies he will see God.
20 Job's friend responded that the wicked triumph only for a short time and that the punishment they receive will be harsh and long lasting.
21 Job asked why the wicked prosper and have good lives.
22 Job's friend responded Job must have done something wrong at that is why god was punishing him at this time
23 Job answered and said God has done these things to him but Job still follows God
24 Job says that people who know God sometimes do bad things
The part of these scriptures that resonated with me most was how Job's friends really did not know him. Job was perfect and upright and served God in all he did. Job's friends never conceived the possibility that Job was in so much trouble because of something outside himself. They insisted that the problem was that Job had some secret iniquity. Often people do not support their friends in time of trouble, but instead condemn their friends and say the problems they are facing are what they deserve. Perhaps we should be more understanding to our friends and support them in their time of need rather than condemning them.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for being my Lord and Savior. I thank You for my salvation and life. Lord I ask that you help me to be a better friend to my friends when they are going through hard time and need support, not condemnation. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

Veggie of the month: Pumpkin
- Gourmet
Pumpkins come in all different sizes, colours and flavours. Varieties are usually harvested in autumn and will keep well throughout the winter months.
Butternut is an Australian favourite: its thin buff-coloured skin is easy to peel and its deep orange flesh is sweet and dense.
Jap pumpkin, also known as Kent or Kabocha, is an Asian variety of winter squash and has ribbed green skin splattered with yellow blotches and sweet orange flesh that's softer than a butternut.
In most recipes, it's fine to substitute butternut for Jap and vice versa. Look for them in your local farmers market or maybe even have a go at growing your own for some unusual and beautiful heirloom varieties of pumpkin.
Health benefits:
Pumpkin is one of the best plant sources of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant which your body converts to vitamin A. Your body needs vitamin A for healthy immune function, which includes warding off winter bugs.
Best ways to prepare:
Roasting pumpkin really brings out its sweet flavour. Cut into chunks or wedges, toss with a little olive oil and season with sea salt. Add your favourite herbs or spices and some onion wedges if you like. Roast in a hot oven until tender and slightly charred around the edges, and then choose what you'd like to do with it next.
Toss through pasta, add to risotto, serve as a side dish, puree and then thin with vegetable stock to make a quick soup, or leave to cool to room temperature and toss with rocket, avocado, toasted walnuts and a balsamic dressing for a fabulous salad.

Picking out a holiday when you're under can either be the easiest choice in the world or prove too tricky to decide. Most peoples choices come from recommendations from friends and advertisements but if you're thinking of going somewhere a bit different for your next holiday, and you want to start booking now, here's a look at some of the best destinations around the world for under 30's which you will be recommending to your friend once you've been.
Everyone has obviously heard of the capital of Japan, but it's not somewhere people often decide to visit. Tokyo offers a fantastic experience of one of the busiest cities in the world combined with both novelty and breakthrough technology with every encounter you make in the city. From parking your car to buying food in a restaurant, there are advancements in every industry that haven't been offered to the rest of the world yet. Plus, you can venture outside of the city and experience tranquil scenery and sunsets of Japan.
It's slowly becoming a more popular destination for everyone to explore and for under 30's it's worth seeing as you might even want to consider starting a new life in one of the most desirable places to live in the world. With beautiful mountains, the cleanest cities and the biggest waterfall in the world, there isn't a particular place in Canada to suggest.
Travelling around Italy gives you hundreds of different landmarks and cities to explore, and the travelling distance between the different places isn't too long. Rome itself can be explored for a full holiday but if you what to travel around, Milan, Florence and Venice with show you how wonderful Italy is. Taking a travel neck pillow might make the bus/ train journeys much more comfortable while hopping between cities.
If you have the money to adventure to the other side of the world, Rio offers some of the most exciting beaches in the world. Constant celebrations and street festival occur in Rio and there is rarely a dull moment is Brazil, and there are plenty of cultural sites to see in between your days relaxing on the beach. And while travelling to Brazil can be costly, the cost out there makes up the difference with affordable accommodation, food and drink.
Adventuring to any of these places is sure to his you a once in a lifetime experience and you and see the cultural differences of being on an entirely different continent. The majority of these destinations will require a fair bit of travel with some potential changes in between so be sure to bring your travelling pillow, a blanket and a tablet for entertainment.

We hear it all the time. "I love your SC Stockshop & Social Squares photos and want to use them, but I just don't know if styled stock is right for my business."
Well friend, we are going to let you in on a little secret...it is!
We truly believe that any business can benefit from using styled stock photography and today we are breaking down the 3 main ways that your business, whatever it is, can benefit from incorporating styled stock photos!
3 Ways Your Business Can Benefit From Styled Stock Photography:
Benefit #1 - You will increase your brand's perceived value by using styled stock photography.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has a famously been quoted saying, "Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room." Basically, what that means is your brand images are speaking for you.
In the eyes of your potential client or customer your product or service is only worth the quality of the images you're using to showcase it.
This means that all of the hard work you're doing to create and promote your amazing products and high quality content could be wasted if you're poorly representing your products and services with bad photos. People may never experience what you have to offer because they can't see the worth of your offer being represented.
Styled stock photography can immediately increase your brand's perceived value by taking your quality product or service and giving it the perception to match! We have seen businesses triple their revenue once they start using styled stock because the value of their offerings was finally being recognized!
Benefit #2 - You will save yourself time and money by using styled stock photography.
Now that we've established that using quality photos to sell your quality product or service is essential, let's address why you should use stock photos rather than taking your own photos or hiring a personal brand photographer.
For those of you who have been trying to find the time to shoot your own product and branding images, let me drop some hard truth on you: You need to be devoting your limited time and energy to the things only you can do. If there are tasks on your list that can be outsourced, do it! We are willing to bet that even if you are a photographer (and we have tons of photographers as customers), the best use of your time is not styling and shooting product and/or branding images for your business!
With styled stock photos you can choose one image or several that work together, drop your products in with a few clicks, upload them to your website and be done with it!
Also See: How To Use Styled Stock
For those of you looking to hire a brand photographer to shoot images for you, you can absolutely go this route - but it's going to cost you! Brand shoots like these can cost thousands of dollars. Plus we can bet that you're going to need images regularly for your business (or at least more than once). Friend, that adds up! If you're looking to get the most for your investment, with images at price points like $19 or less, styled stock is the way to go!
Benefit #3 - You will give your brand a cohesive presence by using styled stock photography.
As a small business ourselves, we know the terms "marketing" and "branding" can feel daunting. There are so many "rules", expectations and trends to keep track of across all of the different platforms and it can feel like too much. Especially when you really need to focus on actually doing your craft and creating the thing that you're promoting!
What if we told you that with just a few styled stock images you could create a brand presence across all of your platforms? With 1-5 styled stock photos you could have cohesive imagery for:
In fact, you could purchase a set of styled stock images and create a complete, intentional, cohesive and beautiful brand like in the example below!
Also See: "How to use our SC Stockshop image sets to build a polished brand"
We truly think any business can benefit from increasing their perceived value, saving time and money, and creating a cohesive brand presence. We know that all of this can be done by using professional, high quality styled stock images from the SC Stockshop! We cannot wait to see how you're going to benefit from using styled stock in your brand!
Do you currently use styled stock images? What benefits have you experienced? Not familiar with styled stock but ready to start seeing the benefits we mentioned for yourself? Click that button below and let's get started!
With this transaction Buyer acknowledges that the purchase comes with a non-exclusive limited use license so that the Purchaser may use the image for personal or professional use in the normal course of Purchaser's business.
Purchaser may crop the image and overlay the image with text or pdfs of product designs as fits Purchaser's needs, but Purchaser may not otherwise alter, edit or manipulate the image.
Shay Cochrane remains the sole and exclusive owner and holder of the copyright in the image and the Purchaser may not sell, lease, loan, transfer, assign, or give away the image or a derivative thereof or otherwise allow a third-party to use the image in any way.
The Purchaser may not use SC Stockshop images to promote styling related workshops, webinars, classes, how-to-style blog posts or newsletters, or any styling related training.
These images have been designed to become a part of your branding just like a logo or font choice.
As an entrepreneur yourself, you know how frustrating and discouraging it can be when people misuse, steal, giveaway or alter your work. With that in mind, please don't change the colors or move the props around - it just doesn't look as good (and infringes on the usage terms)!
Feel free to crop the image any way that you want and overlay it with text or designs to help you to promote your brand and sell more products!
By purchasing the image you are agreeing not to give the image (or a part of the image) away to anyone else in ANY way even if you turned it into a beautiful free e-book cover, or snazzy desktop screen savor.
It would also be just plain wrong to re-sell the image in any form such as turning it into an art print or including it in a website or other template design.
Lastly, using an SC Stockshop image to sell your styling course, webinar or other styling related training is sort of false advertising. Show them the styling that YOU have done so that they know exactly what they are in for and can get excited! This is not meant to scare you.
If you have any questions or concerns about the legal use of our images please don't hesitate to shoot us an e-mail! We don't bite!

Taipei, A foreign couple started their lunar new Year of the Dog on a lucky note, winning NT$2 million (US$68,716) from a NT$200 scratch lottery card Friday.
According to Taiwan Lottery Co., the couple visited Lungshan Temple in Taipei to experience Lunar New Year festivities in Taiwan.
They were told at the temple that people visit on the first day of the lunar new year to pray for prosperity and luck.
Lo and behold, the couple found themselves holding a winning scratch ticket after leaving the temple and buying two tickets at a nearby lottery store.
The couple told their story, saying that they did not win anything with the first ticket but won the top prize with the second one.
The couple expressed the opinion that getting one's blessings at the temple during the holiday "really works."
Also Friday, a Kaohsiung family visited nearby Taitung and bought a winning scratch lottery ticket for NT$2,000, giving them a payout of NT$1 million.

This week's art actually arose out of some confusion. I heard about a drawing contest from Crunchyroll, who was celebrating having one million premium members. As a premium member myself, I wanted to participate. Not to mention the GIGANTIC prize pack of anime movies, game systems, merchandise, and more.
The contest said to draw 'Hime' in a creative way. Easy enough. I know drawing a chibi isn't especially creative (at all), but it would be fun and is what I was inspired to do. So, naturally, I started drawing Hatsune Miku.
For those of you who know these characters, feel free to laugh at my mistake. I audibly laughed myself when I realized. Maybe my over-tired brain translated Hime to the 'H-' in Hatsune and 'Mi-' from Miku. I wasn't super familiar with the latter character, but Hime? Ironically, I read her 4-panel manga every couple weeks. I just never paid much attention to her name.
After registering that I confused Crunchyroll's mascot character for a Vocaloid video game one, I decided to finish Miku-san and start Hime the next day. I came up with an actually creative idea for Hime, but I felt sick with a cold before I could get started. It was also the last day of the contest.
I don't claim to be able to draw in an authentic Japanese style, but I like this chibi. She has a little bit of my style to her, and is cute and simple. I thought of doing some kind of background, but figured she was better left with a little drop shadow under her back foot.
Having never played a Vocaloid game, I don't know if she succeeds totally as her character. From reference pictures she seemed to dance and be joyful on stage. That's what I tried to capture. Also her hair. I see why it's iconic- it's also fun to draw and color. Parts of her outfit were surprisingly intricate, so I simplified or omitted some to keep with the typical simplicity of chibis.
As a side note, I looked up her music during my research. A lot of it is a little too 'electronic' for my tastes (she is an artificial vocal synthesizer, after all), but it was still nice to listen to.
If you'd like to see more chibis from me, stay tuned; I'll be teaching a class to local homeschoolers next month. In that blog I'll share with you what I taught them, including tips and resources for future chibi drawings.

Allegations of domestic violence and spousal abuse are typically taken very seriously by Maryland authorities. In some circumstances, Maryland residents who feel they have suffered from spousal abuse choose to file for protective orders in a civil court of law. This can help them gain an extra layer of protection in situations where they feel like they may be in physical danger from a spouse who is not able to control their emotions during a time of upheaval. That can be particularly the case when a couple seems to be undergoing marital problems.
This seems to be what may be occurring between the town manager of Ocean City, Maryland and his wife. She recently filed for a protective order after alleging that her husband physically assaulted her while they were attending a college graduation event in another state for one of their daughters. The woman also alleged that he had threatened to commit suicide during the altercation between the two.
The woman was successful in obtaining a temporary protective order from a judge in May. That order prohibited the town manager from remaining on the property of their family home or contacting his wife. The man was due in court in mid-May to answer to the domestic violence charges. A judge would then have the option to convert the protective order from temporary to permanent. Alternatively, the judge could choose to throw out the case entirely.
Spousal abuse is never acceptable, and Maryland residents who have been physically harmed by a spouse do have the right to seek protective orders from a civil court. Documenting instances of domestic violence can be helpful for those who may be considering filing for a divorce. Sometimes, obtaining a temporary protective order while both partners go through a "cooling-off" period may be all that is required for emotions to return to more acceptable levels before a divorce can proceed in a safe and routine manner.

"I'm 86 and my wife is 83 years young. We met in our early teens at a Christian youth gathering here in Dublin. The venue was on the opposite side of the road from where I was standing, and her face stood out from all the other faces. And I thought to myself "that's my girl!" At the social gathering, she came around with a plate of biscuits. And I said if you were on the plate "I'll take it!" We've been married 62 years now!
My advice to couples is to really fall in love. Don't put love in a straight jacket. There must be constant spontaneity.
Don't ever get in the area of blame. The solution is always God. Covenant relationship. Never contemplate divorce. Marriage takes alot of obedience.
Jesus learned obedience through His suffering for us. His whole sacrifice was an act of obedience. By His obedience, His sacrifice was perfect. He laid down His life as an act of obedience. He was a Victor and not a victim on the cross."
