Bill Donaldson marked the start of summer in Dawson City, Yukon, by moving back into his cave. Known locally as Caveman Bill, Mr. Donaldson has been living in a small grotto on the Yukon River for close to two decades. It gets a little chilly in winter when temperatures drop to minus 40, and this year, it also got a little soggy. At the end of May, when the ice broke up on the river, Mr. Donaldson's cave flooded, forcing the cabinetmaker into a wall tent a little higher up the hill to wait out the deluge.
"It was cold, cold cold, then got warm so fast," said Driftwood Holly, a local carpenter who lives upriver from Mr. Donaldson. The river stayed frozen so long this year, Mr. Holly ended up with migrating water birds, including ducks, geese and swans, camped out in his snowy garden in May. Less than a month later, temperatures jumped more than 40 degrees. "There have been summer solstices when we were huddled on the Dawson Dome in a snowstorm, like muskox," Mr. Holly said. This year, as residents drive up the mountain behind the town to watch the midnight sun kiss the horizon and rise again, the temperature is expected to be upwards of 25 C.
That kind of heat is unusual in the far North this time of year. Even more unusual is the occasion when the Yukon is warmer than many other parts of Canada. And signs of summer are everywhere across the territory. In Whitehorse, six hours south, children have been able to turf their parkas to play in the local waterpark, canoes and kayaks have replaced skis on roof racks, and tents are popping up on the clay cliffs around the capital. During an early morning run last week, local writer Vivian Belik got "a full moon" as a naked tourist exited his tent, tail first. "I think he probably thought he was in the Yukon wilds," Ms. Belik said.
In dog yards outside the city, Yukon mushers are rounding up panting, shedding huskies to celebrate the solstice with a Hot Hounds race. Fearless, and perhaps foolish, competitors tie as many as three sled dogs to their waists and jump on bikes, careening through pine forests for beer and prizes. At last year's race, the dogs were pulling one competitor so hard, he was flipped over his handlebars at the start line. "They had to hold back his dogs so he could get back on the bike," said local musher and Hot Hounds competitor Susan Rogan. "You get rocking pretty good."
Local yoga buffs, looking for a little less adrenalin on the longest day of the year, plan to head down to the Yukon River to welcome summer with 108 sun salutations. "We're greeting the summer because it is actually here," said Whitehorse yoga enthusiast Erica Heuer. "My garden was doing so badly, and now it has exploded."
Baked goods, crafts and seedlings are still the only items on offer at the Whitehorse Farmer's Market, but local gardeners are expecting a good season. "The late spring slowed a lot of us down," said Whitehorse market gardener Alyx Jones. "We had to keep our seedlings inside too long, then they got too spindly and we had to replant a lot of them. But now with this warm weather I expect we'll do quite well."
"It's like someone flicked a switch and suddenly turned the heat on," said Yukon Wildland Fire information officer George Maratos. Two fires are already burning in the territory and, with more hot weather and lightening in the forecast, the Yukon just brought in 40 additional firefighters from British Columbia.
"Things are ramping up here pretty good," Mr. Maratos said. "It's going to get very busy."
One of the fires is visible from the Dawson Dome, and will add a bit of gravity to solstice celebrations. Mr. Holly is not heading to the Dome this year, though the bench he built from a tree that had been standing since the gold rush is still perched on the peak, pointing toward the midnight sun. "I am getting too old to party so hard and then roll all the way home," he said. Instead, he hopes to get time-lapse photos of a giant sundial that he grew from wildflowers in his garden. "At solstice, with the midnight sun," he said, "the shadow should spin once around the whole sundial."

Good Evening,
You've already decided to have the child. He had participated in the creation of your baby. There is no wrong or right way to tell him. Now you're in a different situation than the first time when you got pregnant because of his decision to seek divorce.
He is responsible for what had taken place prior to his decision and for what had occurred afterwords.
Just be straight forward with him. you have control of what you do or say and not of his response. No matter what you say or how you do it, he still decides what to feel, say and do.

Onyx's Next Blockbuster?
Onyx Pharmaceuticals' liver and kidney cancer drug Nexavar is closing in on a billion dollars in sales. But to succeed as a stand-alone biotech company in a world dominated by giants, the biotech company badly needs another hit.
It might just have one in carfilzomib. The company reported this morning promising, if not spectacular, results for the multiple myeloma drug in 266 patients who had failed all other treatments. The drug helped shrink tumors in 24% of them--good enough for Onyx to apply for FDA approval by year end, the company said.
The company reported the results in a conference call and says it will release details of the trial at a major medical meeting.
Dana Farber Cancer Institute's Kenneth Anderson called the results "very promising" and said that the drug appeared to have a "very safe side effect profile."
In an interview, Onyx chief executive Tony Coles called the data "quite compelling" and said the drug had the potential to snag a billion dollars in annual sales eventually, if it is approved in both these very advanced patients and also for earlier-stage multiple myeloma. A trial in the earlier-stage patients is ongoing.
Onyx's believes that its drug may have less side effects than rival multple myeloma medication Velcade from Takeda, as it is a differenet. "You are really delivering the drug at a specific and concentrated fashion at the target location," he said.
Onyx is one of the only stand-along biotech companies left that focus on the hot cancer market. Getting a second drug on the market could make it a target for big pharma companies who are desperate to expand their presence in the cancer drug arena. Eli Lilly, for example, bought out Imclone in 2008, out-bidding Bristol-Myers Squibb.
"It is something we cannot control--any larger company can come and make an offer," admits Coles. "We like our prospects. We do believe we can remain independent."
The results go a step towards vindicating Onyx's acquisition of privately-held Proteolix for $816 million last year to obtain the drug. The deal had an unusual structure. Only $276 million was paid up-front, while the rest is contingent on achieving various milestones and approvals in multiple myeloma.
"It was a very good deal for us. We believe the structure of this kind of transaction is one of the new ways for the future," says Coles. He says other companies are interested in imitating the structure of the transaction.

I doubt there's anyone who won't give Vidya Balan a five-on-five for her acting just based on the trailer. And, at least I am very intrigued by the story line too.
Update: Read this author's review of Kahaani here.
In fact, admiration for Vidya Balan increases with every trailer you watch and so does the intrigue about the film. Each trailer introduces just that little bit more to keep you interested in both the trailer and make you more curious about the film.
Vidya Balan's pain while looking for her missing husband is so transparent that you heave a sigh of relief when you see her smile in the last trailer linked there. The only thing that could hamper any anticipation is the director's last venture as a director, Home Delivery. Yet, I'm expecting to be in a state of shock if Kahaani is anything short of a brilliant film.
How awesome would it have been if I could go in with neutral emotions and I had no anticipation, the bonus would have been so much greater – that is how sure I am of watching a mesmerizing story on screen.
And the good news is that Kahaani has started on the right note with its music.
Milliblog – "Kahaani is quite an interesting departure from the duo's usual sound."
Music Aloud – "8.5/10"
dunkdaft – "do not miss this fantastic transformation of the composer duo."
Bollyspice – "4.5/5"
Bollywood Hungama – "3/5"

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan

Those of you who have knowledge of the statistics of the State of Ohio know
that it consists of 88 counties. The first county, Washington, was organized
in 1788 and the last, Noble, was conceived in 1851. A Constitutional requirement
of Ohio states that no county shall contain less than 400 square miles, and
that no county shall be reduced below that amount. Ohio itself was never formed
as a territory, only as a portion of a territory of the United States.
Governor Arthur St. Clair was appointed Governor of the vast Northwest Territory and established the first counties to his choosing. Josiah Morrow has written about the different counties and townships before Ohio was formed. I shall now draw from his writings.
As was mentioned before, a county in Ohio forms 400 square miles or more, but Hamilton County in the Northwest Territory contained an estimated 5,000 square miles. A report of Jacob Burnet, treasurer of Hamilton County, lists all monies paid into the county treasury by the different townships in the year 1799, the total amount being $3,633.49.
A list of these fourteen townships are: Columbia, Cincinnati, South Bend, Miami, Anderson, Springfield, Colerain, Fairfield, Deerfield, Dayton, Franklin, Washington, Ohio and St. Clair. As you will notice many of these township names are the same as those towns or settlements, which are now so-named.
William Mounts, the tax collector in Deerfield Township, had made the settlement called Mount's Station on the east side of the Little Miami, about three miles below the mouth of Todd's Fork in 1795.
Obed Denham, the tax collector of Washington Township (not to be confused with present Washington Township in Warren County), was a Baptist preacher who came from Kentucky and founded the town in Clermont County now called Bethel.
We shall now concentrate on old Deerfield Township. This large township comprised nearly all of the present county of Warren, except the current township of Franklin, the western portion of sections in Clearcreek, and ten sections of the fourth range in the northwest part of Turtlecreek. This area totaled about 30,000 acres in the neighborhood of Franklin.
Deerfield Township was much larger than the present County of Warren. It encompassed a strip three miles wide now in Montgomery and Greene, and extended eastward to the site of Wilmington, comprising about one-half of Clinton County. It also extended into Hamilton County along the southern boundary of present Deerfield Township. The commissioners of Hamilton County organized this large township in 1797. It was given the name Deerfield, in honor of the first settlement, which was made in 1795. Elections of township officers were to be held at the house of David Sutton, then the most prominent pioneer in Deerfield.
By 1797 there were many settlements in progress in Deerfield Township, some being Beedle's Station, Mount's Station, Waynesville, Turtlecreek and Todd's Fork.
The old township was fairly new in 1799, but was beginning to become a force amongst some of the other townships. Among the tax receipts of this year Deerfield ranked fourth in Hamilton County.
On June 10, 1797, the commissioners of Hamilton County chose Benjamin Stites, Jr., assessor, and Isaac Lindley, constable and tax collector of Deerfield Township. The tax return for that year for the entire township was $111.15. Stites' fees were $5.20 and Lindley's, $2.30.
In 1798, Peter Drake was assessor and Joshua Drake, constable and tax collector. The fees of the assessor were $11.21; of the tax collector and constable, $4.13 each.
In 1799 Michael H. Johnson was assessor; his fees were $8.22; William Mounts was tax collector.
Timothy Boothby was "lister" of the township in this year, and made an inventory of the white male inhabitants twenty-one years of age and over. His fees amounted to $21.
Several attempts were made to make Deerfield Township a county. The Territorial Legislature, which met at Cincinnati in 1799, passed an act for this purpose but Governor St. Clair vetoed the bill and it failed to become a law.

Berlin (Jan. 31)
Demonstrations against the Jews took place today at the Stock Exchange and at the University of Berlin.
A group of five hundred Nazis including students and Storm Troopers in full Nazi uniform organized a demonstration outside the Stock Exchange where they proceeded to shout abuse of the Jews. "Out with Jews from the Stock Exchange!" "Down with the Jews!" "Down With the Jewish Robbers and Plunderers!" were the shouts that rang through the air.
Nazi speakers in motor lorries attempted to address the crowds around the Stock Exchange.
After this demonstration, the Nazis proceeded to the University campus, marching to the tune of "Judaea Perish!" Jewish students were driven from the University buildings, despite the efforts of Rector Kohlrausch to pacify the demonstrators.

TPWD News Release — Jan. 26, 2010
AUSTIN, Texas — On Feb. 20-21 at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will debut its new Life's Better Outside® Experience, in effect taking its TPW Expo on the road. In San Antonio and at similar events this year in Houston, Longview and Corpus Christi, visitors of all ages can try fishing, archery, birding, rock climbing, camping, Wildlife CSI, and other activities, with gear and guidance provided free.
This past October, TPWD leaders announced the Austin-based Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo would be suspended for at least two years due to declines in sponsorship support related to the recession. On the up side, the decision gave additional impetus to expand department outreach efforts beyond Central Texas.
"The goal of the Life's Better Outside® Experience is to provide hands-on outdoor activities for families, youth and children who do not currently enjoy the outdoors, and to introduce them to these activities which can lead to conservation of our natural and cultural resources," said Ernie Gammage, TPWD urban outdoors program leader and former Expo director.
"Moving around the state will allow us to reach Texans who might not have had an opportunity to come to Austin," Gammage explained. "Each event will focus on outdoor opportunities in that region of the state, with information on nearby state parks, good spots to go fishing, paddling, camping and much more. This will also help to connect families to outdoor groups in their area."
"Our goal remains the same: to engage underserved audiences and bring more people into the world of the great outdoors," Gammage emphasized. "One of our core beliefs is that recreation leads to conservation. By introducing Texans, especially urban Texans, to outdoor recreation, the outdoors becomes more relevant to them. They come to care about it and finally to care for it."
The Life's Better Outside® Experience schedule for 2010 is:
More information about events and opportunities across Texas involving nature, history and the outdoors is on the TPWD Web site.

Site Details
Other Information
Sitewide bird observations conducted in May, June, August, and September of 1994 at BNL were used to calculate habitat-specific diversity and to compare diversity and species richness between habitats. The results of each 1000-ft and 5000-ft upland transect were pooled, the results of the six 1000-ft wetland transacts were pooled; and the results from upland transacts were discarded as no spring (May) observations were made because this habitat was added after the May survey.
The greatest number of individuals (538) and species (63) were reported from wetlands. The next richest sites, in terms of numbers of species reported, were from a transect located in the pitch pine/oak forest southeast of the sewage treatment plant (43 species) and (40 species) from a transect located in the white pine plantation/spray aeration project in the southeast portion of the site. The site with the fewest birds observed (201) and the fewest species (23) was the white pine plantation southwest of the particle accelerator ring. Factors identified as limiting the abundance/diversity of birds at this site are: lack of a water source; a plant monoculture (pines) limiting the available food supply; nearby roadways and developed areas; and human presence on the access roads and exercise paths. Wetlands provide food, water, cover, and nesting habitat for a variety of birds. In addition they are relatively isolated in comparison to the pine plantations and some pine/oak forests and thus are not exposed to human disturbance.
The results of the June 1994 breeding bird survey were compared with the 1989-1993 breeding bird data collected on the BNL site (J. Clinton unpublished data). The five dominant species observed (in descending order) in June 1994 (pine/oak, pine plantation, and wetland habitats combined) were: rufous-sided towhee, gray catbird, ovenbird, blue jay, and pine warbler. The five dominant species reported in the 1989 to 1993 breeding bird observations are (in descending order): European starling, red-winged blackbird, common grackle, mourning dove, and rock dove (pigeon). The difference in dominant species between the two sampling events is due to different portions of the site being surveyed; the 1994 data reflect species found in relatively undisturbed parts of the site, while the 1989-1993 data reflect species observed in developed portions of the BNL site. All five dominant species cited from the earlier surveys (1989-1993) were observed in 1994 among the BNL buildings and feeding along roadsides and on the recreation fields. As the European starling, red-winged blackbird, and grackle were commonly observed in large flocks, the observation of several flocks of these species could skew dominance data away from more common, widespread species that typically occur as pairs or in small flocks.
Dominant bird species observed in 1994 in each of the surveyed habitat types (pine plantation, pitch pine/oak forest, wetlands).
The dominant bird species identified in 1994 in the pitch pine/oak forest were among those that Reschke (1990) identifies as characteristic of this habitat. The dominant bird species identified in 1994 in the wetland transects were the blue jay, gray catbird, black-capped chickadee, rufous-sided towhee, and common yellowthroat.
The bird species observed on the BNL site were typical given the habitats, seasons surveyed, and degree of human abundance and diversity/disturbance. Predictably, those habitats (wetlands) with the least amount of disturbance/development contained the greatest number and diversity of species, while disturbed habitats (pine plantations) contained the fewest species and exhibited the lowest degree of diversity.
Species Accounts of Selected Birds
Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor)
The common nighthawk is listed as a species of special concern by the State of New York. It is an uncommon, extremely local breeder throughout the state. Its numbers have declined throughout New York, though reasons for the decline remain unknown. The nighthawk feeds on flying insects, particularly mosquitoes. It is not listed as breeding in the vicinity of BNL by the Breeding Bird Atlas, though two related species, the whippoorwill and chuck-will's-widow, are reported to breed in the area. A common nighthawk was observed on 8 June 1994 within the Gamma Forest; another was observed in September 1994 at one of the pitch pine/oak transects.
Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)
The eastern bluebird is listed as a species of special concern by the State of New York. Three reasons have been cited for the decline in numbers: loss of preferred habitat (farmlands), loss of available nesting sites, and competition with the house sparrow and European starling for nesting sites. As an insect feeder (in summer), the bluebird is susceptible to pesticides sprayed on farm fields. Eastern bluebirds were listed by NYSDEC as breeding on one of four breeding blocks encompassing the BNL site.
Eastern bluebirds were most often observed within and adjacent to the particle accelerator ring in the vicinity of the ecology fields in pairs or in small flocks of four to six birds. Successful reproduction by bluebirds was not documented on the site in 1994. One nest box is located by the ecology fields and two within the particle accelerator ring. The placement (and maintenance) of additional nest boxes in likely habitats (e.g., berms around the sewage treatment plant) could increase the likelihood of eastern bluebirds successfully breeding on the BNL site. Additional nest boxes for the eastern bluebird will be installed in 2000 as part of habitat enhancement initiatives outlined in the Wildlife Management Plan.
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Ospreys feed almost exclusively on live fish and typically remain near water. Reproductive failures of osprey in the 1950s and 1960s were caused by eggshell thinning and breakage linked to DDT exposure. Osprey productivity throughout the Boston-New York region and elsewhere reached very low levels. In many places, including Long Island, the population is recovering. The osprey was initially listed as a federally endangered species in 1978, but its status was changed to threatened in 1983 as the population began to recover. The osprey is no longer on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's list of threatened and endangered species, but continues to be listed as threatened by the State of New York.
One osprey was observed flying over the site at treetop level on 23 August 1994. None of the water bodies on the BNL site are large enough, or contain large enough fish, to provide habitat or food supply sufficient to support an osprey. Some of the larger ponds east of the BNL site (e.g., Grassy Pond and Horn Pond) may provide habitat for migrant or transient ospreys.
Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)
The peregrine falcon is listed as a state endangered species due to population declines from reproductive failure associated with DDT exposure (Andrle and Carroll, 1988), but was delisted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Aug. 25, 1999. Their numbers declined greatly from the 1940s to the 1960s, to the point where they were considered extirpated from New York and the eastern of Unite State. Reintroduction began in 1974, and peregrine falcons are now nesting successfully in portions of the Adirondacks and on bridges and buildings in the vicinity of New York City. They nest on the superstructures beneath bridge roadways, either directly on the structure or in nesting boxes that have been provided for them. Populations in the Northeast are highly migratory, traveling as far as South America during winter.
Peregrine falcons feed predominantly on small birds, usually captured in flight. Birds as large as ducks may be taken, but the major food item in urban environments is pigeons (rock doves). A single adult peregrine was observed on 5 October 1994 at Zeek's Pond. The peregrine made two unsuccessful attempts to capture one of a mixed flock of wood ducks and green-winged teal. The lone peregrine was most likely a migrant, as they are expected to be infrequent seasonal visitors to the BNL site and vicinity. Since 1994 single peregrines have been seen migrating through the BNL site.
Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)
The red-tailed hawk occurs in farmland and woodlands and over marshes. It is the most common and widely distributed large diurnal (daytime-flying) raptor in New York. It is quite adaptable to human changes, clearing and farming, in the environment. Some modification of habitat, including forest fragmentation and agriculture, apparently benefits the red-tailed hawk by providing additional nesting habitat and permitting access to areas formerly suited to other raptors, such as the great horned owl.
Red-tailed hawks were observed hunting over the cleared portions of the BNL sites. The Gamma Forest, gamma fields, and ecology fields were the areas where red-tailed hawks were most frequently observed. No evidence of red-tailed hawks nesting on the BNL was noted, though recently fledged nestlings were observed in August 1994. Mice, gray squirrels, and cottontails are expected to form the bulk of the redtail's diet on the BNL site. Since 1994 two pairs of red-tailed hawks have been noted along the eastern and northern fire breaks.
Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola) and Sora Rail (Porzana carolina)
The rails are secretive birds, usually residing in dense vegetation within wetlands or coastal areas, and are rarely observed. Typical food items include insects, seeds, aquatic animal life, and berries.
A virginia rail was observed near the recreation fields west of Brookhaven Avenue. As the fields and adjacent pine plantations are not typical rail habitat, it is assumed the bird was a migrant that had stopped to rest. A second Virginia rail was heard calling (30 November 1994) within the herbaceous wetland east of the east firebreak and bordering the Peconic River, and a Virginia rail was documented during the 1999 Christmas Bird Count at the same location. A single Sora rail was observed within a dense reed grass stand along the Peconic River east of the east firebreak. The bird was observed on 18 October 1994 during the wetland delineation survey. Neither species of rail is listed as breeding on the site by the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas. However, due to their secluded habitat and secretive nature, the rails are often undetected.

Florida school districts get class size compliance notifications
The Florida Department of Education has released its findings as to whether school districts are in compliance with the final phase of the 2002 class size amendment. Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas schools were found to be in full compliance, with no classrooms over the caps.
More than half of the state's 67 districts face fines of about $3,000 for every student over the class size limits. They range from one classroom over (Okeechobee County) to 21,246 classrooms over (Palm Beach County). Some school boards have vowed to sue the state if the fines are imposed. They still can appeal the results to the DOE, with a deadline of Dec. 17.
Education commissioner Eric J. Smith will look into each appeal to determine whether districts unable to meet the requirements made "appropriate efforts to do so." Afterward, he will make final recommendations to the State Board of Education on funding reallocations for the districts that did not comply.

The Zwaanendael Museum, 102 Kings Highway in Lewes, will host a lecture on Fort Miles by Dr. Gary Wray, president of the Fort Miles Historical Association, at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 18. The program is the 1940s chapter of Delaware Decades, an eight-part series of lectures exploring successive decades in Delaware's history from the 1930s to the 2000s. Admission to the event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited due to space restrictions. For more information, call 302-645-1148.
Built in 1941, Fort Miles was an American military installation located on Cape Henlopen at the mouth of the Delaware Bay near Lewes. The fort was built to defend the Delaware River and Bay from attack by the German navy during World War II. After the end of the war, military use of the fort decreased incrementally. In 1964, 543 acres of the facility were returned to the state of Delaware, forming the heart of Cape Henlopen State Park. Over time, more land was transferred to the park until the military ceased all operations in 1991. In April 2005, Fort Miles was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The Fort Miles Historical Area is now available for public visitation throughout the year.
Wray has been president of the Fort Miles Historical Association since its founding in 2003 and is responsible for leading the organization in its goal of preserving, protecting and defending all aspects of Fort Miles. Wray is co-author of a book (with the late Lee Jennings, a Delaware State Parks historian) on Fort Miles published by Arcadia Press in 2005. He has served as both president and vice president of the Cape Henlopen school board and is an elected trustee of the Delaware Historical Society. In 2008, he was chosen by the state of Delaware as the State Volunteer of the Year for his work in support of Fort Miles. Wray is currently a professor at Wilmington University, the University of Maryland, and Delaware Technical Community College.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Anime' started by Sagara-san, Nov 11, 2012.
Perhaps a flaming heart??
Perhaps something from One Piece?
Perhaps a cute puppy?
here bro
I say stick with your red star logo. You've been using it forever, anything else would probably feel strange at this point.
Working on a Hiei icon, will be a whilst on this.
Needs some unsharp mask filter, Woodster! Could make a world of difference.
What're a few of your favourite series or movies? I'm sure theres enough decent artwork floating about here or there.
And yeah, without your red star it might be hard to keep track of you.
Honestly, I can't even wrap my head around Rhyssa using anything but that logo.
And Damn, URA-MESHI! Guess I have to wait for a week or two for that Kuwabara icon...
Hmm, I like the way this one turned out. Gotta try making another with the same setup.
You would switch in less than an hour anyway.
You've done it three times already this afternoon.
I can handle it .
As long as it's not BOOBS IN YOUR FACE.
That's because I'm always trying minor differences here and there to see what works. Don't judge me.
See, now I'm tempted to just find something else to mess with folks' heads.
Mine are still pretty distinguishable right? right? :p
My CPU can't handle it if I adjust the radius too much
What happens when I reduce the radius (seems to have sharpened it up a little)
//didn't want to put the amount up as that made it look bad, also did a bit of manual enhancing
Anything Neptunia is automatically a cool icon
Mucho better now.
And @ChiBKey - yep, your icons are recognizable. I've just gotten into the habit of reading folks names here instead of focusing on the icons only like I do in other places. Some of the people here have icon!ADHD though, I'm tellin' ya!
i'll just admit to icon ADHD right now....
which is also why i recognize everyone via their username and not their icon....
continuing the discussion from CT,
@Crazy888 what do you think?
(Source Pic)
it's a WIP. changed the hell out of the colors to reduce the blues and make it warmer. i could change the border to the color of your liking.
omg, I love it!
thank you very much
do you want the border like that?
Yeah the border is ok with me. Now I just have to somehow reduce the filesize to 100k.
you don't
now let's get it on you!
yeah um... ?
just do it, trust me!
OK well, I'm going to play some disgaea and I'll trust you.
Thanks in advance
Oh...that's a finger.
Destined to be popular on the Vestibule.
Celebrities are made, not born!
He better not bring any of that crap over here.
Just something I made. Shame it wasn't zoomed in more, I was a little bored so just went ahead and did it though.
Also anyone got guides for backgrounds? I'd like to try some out.
Any Luka icons around?
Miku #1.
you make awesome icons danny.
i don't have a knack yet for backgrounds but i'd love to be inspired. there weren't much icons that i slapped some backgrounds. some of those:
and earliest attempt (lol)
I've just made my first icon ever using GIMP. However, I've recently learned that cutoffs are bad. In relation to this, I've decided to make a new icon without those very annoying cutoffs. I, however, think that my first icon turned out decently. What do you think?
Her name is Ruko Yokune.
Another icon out of boredom.
How long time do you usually use when making icons?
After removing most of the background I erase pixel by pixel before stroking the icon. That takes a lot of time.
Probably about 45 min - 1 hour.
Do you use GIMPS?
No, photoshop.
You like to go frame by frame adding the stroke border meticulously don't you?
Thing is my laptop can't distinguish between what my Photoshop considers a large or small animated gif file and often overheats with a mind of it's own.
I spent like 5+ hours on the icon I'm using now.
Oh I meant my IGN style icons.
With my gifs I use virtual dub to cut the video(generally mkvs) to whatever I need then open it up in vdub and crop/resize and then export it as a gif, then I open it in photoshop create a layer and pop it at the top of my layers list then on that layer I simply stroke the border and it has it in every frame and also mess with adjustments masks to change saturation, vibrance, colour balance etc etc.
Martin: That's dedication, considering I just use the pen tool to cut it out it doesn't take me as long to cut out the background and I don 't have to use the eraser at all.
Either way, I always find something that bugs me about my icons. Like the Kirito/Asuna one, it's kind of dark and can't figure how to get it lighter since highering brightness/contrast don't exactly work and the saturation leads it to being way too reddish. Oh lot better than what it was. - tweaked a few settings
Timmy have been helping me a lot with this over MSN though, I need to find a more efficient way to create icons. My current technique leads to decent results in my opinion. however, the amount of time I use is too much in contrary to most icon makers here.
1. I crop the image
2. I use the automatic fuzzy tool to remove the background where possible.
3. I then zoom inn 800% and use erase tool to remove leftovers, pixel by pixel.
4. I then use paths tool and mark all the jagged edges.
5. Then I stroke.
6. And scale the image to 140x140
There must be a more efficient way in GIMP.
I generally just crop then resize to 300x300, grab the pen tool, go round the outline, create a new layer, stroke on that layer, then right click and make selection then switch to the image layer and click layer via cut. Then I just stroke the details and mess with colour.
I'm not sure if you can do that with GIMP (the pen tooling), tried making an icon with it and I wasn't having any luck probably my lack of familiarity with it.
I'll mess around and see how it goes.
I want Photoshop, but it's too expensive.
Please tell me you're exaggerating. Please...
fate, you do icons on GIMP, so tell him how you do it. I use photoshop so i can't just tell him the exact tools he should use, which is a problem.
idk if it's just me but GIMP sucks compared to CS5. The selection tools are horrible and don't always do what you want to do, I'll rather use paint. But it's free so I shouldn't complain.
Okay, how I get of the background in GIMP...For starters, under preferences I set transparency to show up as black. Makes it easier for me to see...
No, I'm not exaggerating.
I use less time now though...
Thank you.
I'll try what you wrote.
I edit mine frame by frame. Each frame is edited individually. Stroke, redraw, and resizing.
only Ebon would go that far!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There is nothing better than a funny movie. The memorable one-liners and side-splitting moments of hilarity get viewers hooked. The funniest movies will grab onto an audience and won't let go, taking them on a crazy adventure.
Whoever said, "Laughter is the best medicine" obviously knew what they were talking about. The funniest movies have the ability to improve our mood when we're having a bad day and make us forget about whatever worries we might have.
Audrey Hepburn once said, "I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."
A funny movie takes the viewer out of the realm of reality as they watch an improbable scenario unfold, then bare witness as the characters make things worse before they get better.
Below is a list of 10 of the funniest movies of all time:
10. Mrs. Doubtfire
Released: 1993
This family comedy stars Robin Williams and Sally Field as a bitterly divorced couple fighting over their kids' custody arrangement. Williams' character refuses to be separated from his children, and with the help of his make-up artist brother, transforms himself into an elderly British woman, becoming the family housekeeper.
Famous Quote: Mrs. Doubtfire (after throwing fruit at his ex's boyfriend): "Oh sir, I saw it! Some angry member of the kitchen staff, did you not tip them? Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting."

Ray Mate, New Yorker and co-founder of Mighty Healthy, describes his etnies Plus Spring '11 collab below.
"In order to reflect both etnies Plus and Mighty Healthy, we created a pack of shoes with two different purposes in mind. The Califas boot is designed for harsh winters, whereas the low top Guild takes a more dress-inspired approach. Each style has its own personality which can be dressed up or down depending on individual style."

The gate of the white picket fence on the cover of the new book "Maynard L. Parker: Modern Photography and the American Dream" (Yale, $65) is ajar, inviting you down a flagstone path. Blue and yellow director's chairs are set out around a shaded table. The lady of the house hovers at your side; she's just cut a few flowers.
These elements -- casual welcome, outdoor living, brilliant color -- were all hallmarks of the midcentury California photographer Maynard L. Parker's signature style. Parker, who began his career shooting Hollywood interiors and designer jewels, translated his gift for creating a glamorous narrative into a 30-year career as a photographer of midcentury homes, primarily for House Beautiful. His modern Los Angeles was a very different place from that of his contemporary, Julius Shulman: the houses were smaller and filled with more stuff, the gardens were child-friendly, and the aesthetic, as described by Elizabeth Gordon, editor of House Beautiful from 1941 to 1964, could be labeled "The Station Wagon Way of Life."
Jennifer A. Watts, photography curator at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, edited the book and oversees the Huntington's 58,000-image Parker archive. She spoke to a reporter last week by phone from San Marino, Calif.
Q How did you get involved with this project?
A In 1995, Parker's two daughters were getting ready to sell the Echo Park house that housed Parker's studio. I went over there with another curator, and it was like walking into a time capsule from 1976. We were able to get a National Endowment for the Humanities grant and spent two years cataloging the collection. After that was done we could see it was much richer, deeper and more extensive than we realized, so we started casting about for excellent writers to contribute to a book.
Q I had never heard of Parker.
A He existed in this netherworld of people interested mostly in interior design. He was part of design circles with people like T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Samuel Marx and more regionally specific architects. Scholars were tracking Parker down through shelter magazines.
Q What was his special talent?
A Showcasing residential interiors for a new American way of living. He was a merchandiser, showing people what they should buy and how they should live. In the 1930s, he had been working for some of the top interior designers and in the design departments of stores like Barker Brothers. He developed a dramatic floodlit storytelling aesthetic Elizabeth Gordon definitely recognized.
Q Gordon used Parker for decades, and that seems to have been his major professional relationship. What was her agenda for the magazine?
A Gordon was pushing back against the snob appeal of modernism as only for a select few people. She saw European modernism as sterile, problematic, not livable. She really believed Americans didn't understand what good taste was and it was her responsibility to teach them through the pages of House Beautiful. I found a letter Maynard Parker's wife had written to Gordon after his death. She wrote, "You were the only editor we ever worked with who had a dream."
Q What were the style's tenets?
A What was going on in California was pretty distinctive. There was a sense of year-round indoor/outdoor living, relaxed entertaining. A classic Parker photograph shows people looking through windows outside with children in bare feet playing with their toys.
One of Parker's strengths was that he was able to do a lot with camera angles and staging, often an elevated sweeping view down into a living area. It appeared people had just walked off. A magazine was open on the table. The way he would light and stage was reminiscent of what he was doing with celebrity homes.
Another strength was the way he used wide-angle lenses. Many of the houses they were showing were tiny, and he was able to give a sense of spaciousness. That's why model home developers loved him. It was showmanship. He was great at that.
Q He also had a very symbiotic relationship, described in a Daniel P. Gregory essay, with the builder and developer Cliff May.
A May realized early on the power of photography to sell his product, which was ranch-house living. He needed a very astute visual voice to do what he wanted to do. What I found fascinating was the machinations on the part of the developer, using his buildings, using his family, using every contact he could get. It is a way of lifting the veil on what goes on.
Q The book also has many behind-the-scenes shots, showing Parker at work. Where did you find those?
A When I started writing I realized what was missing was how the sausage was made. Those photographs come from the family and from looking in other archives, like the May archive.
My favorite is the one of Parker on a rooftop looking down at a model in a swimsuit with her dachshunds. I knew immediately where it was, the house of his friends Mr. and Mrs. Jack Moss overlooking the city in Pacific Palisades. I heard he would go to any extremes to get the shot, and here he was up on the roof getting his signature aerial shot onto the bathing beauty with the dachshund. Fleeta Woodroffe, an editor of Better Homes and Gardens, is standing in the shadows in her outrageous hat and wool suit. It was a collaboration.
Q What's your favorite image in the book?
A One of the ones I was thrilled to find is of the Linda Vista shopping center in San Diego. I love this idea of a shopping center where you leave your kids outside unattended. It was an outdoor consumer paradise. Mothers are inside shopping while the kids are outside frolicking.

- //The Eames Era
The Eames Era bring achingly saccharine vocals and light-hearted melodies with the release of the Louisiana-based outfit's second full-length album. Gaining high levels of airplay with tracks from their 2005 debut album, Double Dutch, the Eames Era decided to stick with a good thing, returning to twee-pop sentiment and tambourine percussion in the 2007 follow-up, Heroes and Sheroes. This album is bursting with three-minute pop gems, encompassing all the favorite aspects of indie-pop—seemingly insipid lyrics, acoustic interludes, and undeniable charisma. The Eames Era have followed the indie-pop formula to the letter, and the end result is something undeniably catchy. Whether this infectiousness is due to the sugar-sweet vocals, or the sheer optimism radiating from each track, the Eames Era will have you dancing around your living room with fervor.
It's very simple to draw comparisons between the Eames Era and indie superheroes Rilo Kiley—at times the similarities are uncanny—and comparisons such as this are going to plague the Eames Era for the rest of their foreseeable careers. While energetic, snappy, and twee as anything (just listen to the line "True, I think you're cute / In a pull my pigtails kind of way" on "Watson On Your Side"—twee-er words have never been spoken), Heroes and Sheroes will forever be hounded by comparisons to other indie groups. They seem to be a mishmash of other popular groups' best elements: Tilly and the Wall's tap-dancing percussion graces "Copious", and vocalist Ashlin Phillips is far too reminiscent of Jenny Williams for comfort. "Is everybody still in love with being someone else?" Phillips fittingly sings on "Where'd You Go?", a track filled with "la la la"s in place of a chorus, and kitsch keyboards. Heroes and Sheroes is entirely too predictable, from the feedback introduction to the impromptu spoken-word ending. However, that's not to say that the album is without merit. If indie pop is your shtick, this LP is sure to be on high-rotation on your bedroom stereo.
The Eames Era
Heroes and Sheroes
US: 17 Apr 2007
UK: Unavailable
Heroes and Sheroes certainly has its strong points, particularly in tracks "Fake Do-Gooders" and "NC17". The sound that the Eames Era creates is sickeningly likable, created entirely from starry-eyed percussion and gratingly gleeful guitar. However, it slowly becomes more impossible to escape the fact that each track is incredibly familiar. Each song has already been created by one or more of their indie-pop predecessors. While Heroes and Sheroes is a fantastically fun and uplifting way to spend half an hour, there are easily dozens of bands who can create exactly the same sound.
Indie music has become incredibly formulaic; it could even be said that it has steadily stagnated into a state of constant handclaps and obscure percussion. The Eames Era make a very stylish contribution to the ever-growing indie pop collective, but go no further. The album doesn't take any stands, or create a definitive style or rhythm, and although it is snappy and adorable, it fades very quickly into the indie pop flood that is currently inundating the international music scene. Heroes and Sheroes definitely has its strong points: it's catchy, affectedly adorable indie pop, complete with infectious riffs and bop-along vocals. Unfortunately, the Eames Era aren't the only band in the current market that posses these same characteristics. Until Neko Case dies, or Rilo Kiley disband, the position that the Eames Era are applying for has already been filled.

Here at 1book140, we're currently reading Dava Sobel's Longitude: The Story of the Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Mystery of His Time. Sobel recounts clockmaker John Harrison's epic quest to determine longitude from a ship, and claim the fat prize British Parliament offered for doing so. The ultimate solution not only comprised a milestone of science, but saved the lives of countless mariners and had an enormous impact on the global politics of the day.
We asked 1book140 readers to nominate subjects for a modern-day Longitude Prize, and they didn't disappoint. Longtime bookie David Eccles pointed out that to be truly analogous, a modern-day equivalent would have to not only save lives, but also promise economic benefits. David nominated The Elimination of Malaria, which would do much to bolster labor forces in the developing world.
Brandy Stillman was thinking along similar lines. "With all of the science and technology in the world, we still have no way to Cure Cancer."
But, Gill Corden points out, there's not much political will to cure diseases. "What would our glorious leaders pay a king's ransom for today? It has to be Free, Sustainable Energy."In that same vein, Brad Chamberlin suggests Nuclear Fusion, which offers considerable advantages over fission, the process employed by the nuclear power plants of today.
Pat, known to longtime bookies as @SeasonOnThe101, pointed out that Google asks job applicants for a Solution to World Hunger. That strikes us as exceptionally ambitious, but if it's good enough for Google, who are we to look askance at it?
I used to write about water issues for Wired, and so this next submission struck the right note to me. Jill Hubley points out that Access to Clean Water will soon become a problem in even developed countries like America, and already leads to the deaths of millions every year.
Perhaps the problem is less catching fish, so to speak, than teaching others to fish for themselves? Allison Lantero nominated Creating Equitable Education, in which all people, regardless of economic or geographical status, go to great schools.
Kymm Coveny, who may just possibly read more books than the rest of us combined, doesn't want to be "argumentative." But she points out that the Longitude Prize was less about saving lives than advancing science. To that end she proposes the Search for the Higgs Boson, also known (to the media at any rate) as the God Particle.
The prize for most intriguing submission goes to Kyle Behymer, who suggests we should offer our hypothetical prize for solving the mystery of Why Honey Bee Colonies Collapse. "Birds do it, fleas do it, but when bees do it, the value is $212 billion to the world economy," points out Reuters.
Finally, I'm going to offer one of my own: Creating a System of Public Financing for Politicians. Here's my logic: We ultimately need policymakers to help solve any of the worthy problems listed above. How can we alleviate the noxious influence of money in politics and still preserve free speech?
Cast your vote below, bookies! The top five will receive special, limited editions of books by Dava Sobel. Voting ends on Thursday at 5 pm.

Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble" Video
The Music Review Group Gets a Dose of Ray LaMontagne
The following post was written by brisas, who submitted it to the Music Review Group in the BuzzSugar Community.
I recently saw David Gray in concert and the show was wonderful. His opening act Ray Lamontagne simply astonished me and I fell in love with him and haven't stopped listening since. He is a little folky, a little bluesy and a little rock n' roll. Think a more modern and raspy version of Cat Stevens. The audience kept calling him out for more encores — that is always a good sign. If you get a chance to see him live, go, you won't regret it. "Trouble" is one of my favorite songs so far.

TORONTO, March 6, 2014 /CNW/ - We are deeply disappointed that the National Energy Board (NEB) decided to rubber-stamp this risky project.
At over 140 pages, the NEB's decision document was long and complicated, and from what we can see, fails to respond to serious safety concerns raised by governments, First Nations, landowners and thousands of concerned Canadians.
The NEB's decision to allow Line 9 without meaningful conditions despite concerns from experts, stakeholders and governments shows that the federal process for reviewing pipeline proposals is broken and can't do its job of protecting Canadians' safety from risky energy projects.
In particular, the NEB's decision to ignore the request of the Province of Ontario, affected municipalities like Kingston, landowners, pipeline safety experts and thousands of Canadians for a full hydro-test puts communities along the pipeline route at serious risk of a tar sands oil spill. This test, which Enbridge has resisted, is essential for determining if the pipeline is able to meet basic pipeline safety standards.
Evidence submitted by independent pipeline safety expert Richard Kuprewicz stated that "without a proper hydro-test there is a high risk the pipeline will rupture in the early years following the Project's implementation."
Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline project is a recipe for disaster. The 39-year-old pipeline runs directly through the most densely populated parts of Canada, threatening the health, safety and environment of Canadians. The pipeline crosses numerous rivers flowing into the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence - sources of drinking water for millions of people. Communities and thousands of individuals across Ontario and Quebec came together to speak out against this dangerous project.
Enbridge's recent track record is one of significant pipeline spills and safety lapses. This approval will allow 300,000 barrels of more dangerous tar sands oil to flow across Ontario and Quebec every day, and will lock us into decades of growing global warming emissions. Canadians need a fair and democratic process for reviewing these proposals that considers the full environmental risks.
Let's hope this is the last time the interests of the oil industry are permitted to trump the safety of Canadians.
