Concern for Abedin in Clinton world
In 2011, Huma Abedin had support from her friends and Clinton associates when she decided to stay with her husband Anthony Weiner.
The past week, that support has morphed into concern.
Story Continued Below
Their worry is as much about what she is going through personally — a rapid turn from years of glowing media coverage of Abedin to front pages questioning her judgment — as it is about her decision to stand by and encourage politically a husband who some Democrats now believe is way past the point of redemption.
Abedin, Hillary Clinton's top aide and the wife of a mayoral candidate-turned-national-joke, has become the focus of media coverage that's gone, in short order, from sympathetic to savage. She remains in charge of running Clinton's transition team, a slim staff of about a half-dozen aides, some of whom have other jobs — though she is a full-time employee.
( Also on POLITICO: How close are Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton?)
The feelings about Weiner in Clinton-land are unequivocal, according to someone close to the couple: "Everyone's done with him." Multiple sources familiar with the Clintons' thinking said they would be delighted for him to disappear from public consumption. (The fact that Weiner — who began the campaign, dropping Bill Clinton's name repeatedly — declared at a mayoral forum Monday night that he wasn't overly concerned with the opinion of non-New York City residents like the Clintons probably didn't help).
The feelings are far more complicated and emotional about Abedin, who actively encouraged her husband to run for mayor and who has spent her entire adult life working in some capacity for the Clintons. "Everyone loves her to death," said a Clinton ally who's worked with her.
Abedin did not give Clinton a personal heads-up that she planned to defend her husband at a hastily called news conference last week. Still, Clinton was aware that she planned to do it, having been alerted from others in her orbit, sources said.
There are no current plans for the Clintons to ask Weiner to bow out of the race, although several of their allies have made clear how they feel about him. For them to do so formally would tether them to a publicity train wreck.
( WATCH: Anthony Weiner: Timeline of scandal)
Yet the swirl of embarrassing headlines surrounding Weiner and Abedin, combined with attention paid to her outside consulting work while at the State Department, is proving to be another stress test of the Clinton infrastructure in a year that was supposed to be relatively quiet for them.
In addition to the Weiner headlines, there has been the ongoing fallout from the Benghazi violence that claimed the lives of four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, on Sept. 11. In the next three months, Hillary Clinton also is expected to hit the campaign trail in some form for longtime friend and Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.
All of this is pulling Clinton into the public eye beyond the speeches she's giving on the paid-to-talk circuit, as she and her husband enter a phase of post-government life in which their family foundation has become their main organization.
( Also on POLITICO: Weiner brushes aside Clinton criticism)
They are the latest in a series of Pig-Pen-like dust clouds that have seemed to follow the Clintons throughout their careers. But the challenges come at a time when Democratic donors are watching to see whether Hillary Clinton can put together a more functional operation than her 2008 campaign.
Clinton insiders and allies insist they don't believe Abedin has become a liability for the former secretary of state, who is widely known to be considering a 2016 presidential bid. And a number of prominent Democrats insist publicly that they don't see a problem for Clinton. To wit, Abedin was in Washington on Monday, the day Hillary Clinton had lunch with President Barack Obama, and was seen dining with longtime friend and Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines.
"If Hillary runs, I don't believe this episode, three years before the election and really not involving her, will make one bit of difference," said David Axelrod, Obama's former senior adviser. He said on "Meet The Press" last weekend that Weiner needed to go away. "That speculation is just a parlor game for political junkies who can't wait for the 2016 race to begin."
( PHOTOS: Huma Abedin's career)
But a number of news accounts — a Maureen Dowd column in The New York Times, a front-page New York Post story — have quoted Clinton insiders, saying that Clinton-world is furious with the couple, distancing the former first lady from her aide. And the calls for Weiner to go away have gone national.
"There's anger with Anthony, but that anger is because we love and admire Huma," said Democratic strategist and longtime Bill Clinton adviser Paul Begala. "I respect Huma's decision and admire it to stick it out and make the marriage work and such. But still, you can't deny that people who love and admire her will be … furious with what he has put her through.

Kavel embodies the definition of a spectacular sitter. From the second she arrived she exuded an air of professionalism, competence, and approachability. All excellent assets in a brilliant baby sitter. She instantly put the entire family at ease and my 12 week old baby was smiling at her from the start. She was also firm, but friendly towards my energetic 6 and 4 year old sons and was able to keep them entertained and intrigued. Feats which few others have been able to accomplish. In short, Kavel's a keeper.
Kavel looked after my two children last night aged 1 and 5.This was the first time I have used sitters and felt very nervous.Kavel was very professional and put my nerves at ease.she has a lovely approach,very kind and caring.she played with both the children and assisted them both to bed when it was time.I returned to two sleeping children who are asking when Kavel can return this morning.Brilliant experience would definatley use Kavel again!
We met Jasbir for the first time on Saturday, she looked after my 3 young children whilst myself and my partner went out for the day. Straight away we all warmed to her and her very warm nature, and when we returned the children did not want her to leave. Right from the off Jasbir connected with the children. I would highly recommend her, a really lovely lady. Thank you Jas. Xx x.

I am going through a bit of that right now. Having too much fun with friends and family has left me a quiet sewing room.
I keep going in there with hopes of starting a new project but it is still rather messy after my last project. And until I clean all that mess up, nothing is going to happen.. I know it.. That's how I work.
I do need to clean up between couple of projects because the mess is distracting. I go with a project in mind and start seeing million other combination of colors and textures since nothing is put away. My brain starts designing quilts but practically nothing happens. So this week, I am going to spend some time and clean up that mess. Hopefully starting with clean design wall and a floor to walk on will help.
But that doesn't mean I have been sitting around and dreaming away.
I made these mug rugs "Pebbles" for our guild auction. My bee group decided to make a basket full of contemporary quilty stuff. They do look better in person but you just have to take my word for it.
And, I had to test with my camera and see how they looked under the cup of coffee mug.
These have made me want to start sewing again. I can see more of these popping out of my sewing room in near future!

New York police arrest dozens of Occupy Wall Street activists
NEW YORK police arrested dozens of Occupy Wall Street activists who gathered in the city's financial district, where they sought to disrupt traffic and surround the New York Stock Exchange as part of a day of protests to mark the movement's first anniversary.
The protests attracted about a thousand activists, far fewer than last fall's numbers, highlighting the challenge the movement has faced in trying to sustain momentum after sparking a national conversation about economic inequality last fall.
The New York Police Department, which set up a broad perimeter to block access to the NYSE by anyone other than exchange workers, said it has made "multiple arrests" by midmorning. Police were also posted at major banks and government buildings, and guarded Wall Street' landmark Charging Bull, a 7,100 pound bronze sculpture.
Gideon Orion Oliver, a lawyer who represents a number of protesters and the president of the New York Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, estimated in a Twitter posting that about 90 protesters had been arrested. Among those was retired Episcopal Bishop George Packard, who also was arrested last December.
Occupy Wall Street protesters, who popularized the phrase "We are the 99 percent," gathered early Monday near Zuccotti Park, where a spontaneous encampment became their unofficial headquarters last year, but were again barred access by police.
Several protesters held signs, one saying "END the FED," another reading: "We Are Students, Not Customers."
"What happened here a year ago was a process that cannot be stopped," Pulitzer-prize winning author Chris Hedges said. "What happened here a year ago will ultimately spell the doom of the corporate state."
The grassroots movement caught the world by surprise last fall with a spontaneous encampment in lower Manhattan that soon spread to cities across North America and Europe.
Occupy Wall Street briefly buoyed a spirit of U.S. social activism, and drew attention to economic injustice.
The group sponsored a series of activities over the weekend, attended by crowds that never exceeded the hundreds. New York police arrested about three dozen people at those events.

Cha Gio Recipes
How to Wrap Eggrolls (Video)
Full Recipe...
Shrimp and Crab Eggrolls (Cha Gio Recipe)
We're two days away from Tết (Vietnamese New Year). Every year, Maman's specialty was to prepare eggrolls. In my opinion, she makes the best eggrolls (chả giò in Vietnamese) I've ever had. Of course, I'm a little biased. To find my mom's authentic recipe, check it out in my second cookbook Banh Mi.
For this version, I prepared a seafood filling with shrimp and crab and loads of flavorful mushrooms. I've posted a vegetarian version in the past for you if you need it.
The countdown is nearly over and we'll soon be starting the year of the horse!
Full Recipe...
Chicken Eggrolls (Cha Gio Recipe)
We're only a week away from Tết, the Asian New Year. And of course, food is what makes the festivities so much fun. Eggrolls (chả giò) are Maman's must-have dish for the celebration. My favorite version is chicken eggrolls. I usually use dark meat (chicken thighs and legs), which make the dish more moist and flavorful. I also mix in fried jicama and carrots for added crunch.
Preparing them isn't that complicated; they're labor-intensive, but if you have a large crew of little helpers as I do, rolling them is a piece of cake. All you need to do next is deep-fry them and enjoy them wrapped in lettuce along with rice noodles.
Full Recipe...
Tofu Eggroll Recipe
I finally made my own soy milk. I had a lot of fun squeezing the boiled, blended soy beans and collecting the liquid. I got the girls to help me out. We used the solid remnants, called okara or soy bean paste, to fill eggrolls. I'm telling you, nothing goes to waste in our home! If you don't have time to make okara (because it's quite time-consuming), you can buy it ready made in Korean markets.
To make the eggrolls, I blended the soy bean paste mixture with matchstick-cut fried potatoes, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and fried tofu. It's packed with protein and makes a great substitute for meat. I served the eggrolls with the usual accompaniments: vermicelli rice noodles, Vietnamese herbs and shredded cucumber. You'll love it!
Full Recipe...
Vietnamese Egg Roll Recipe (Cha Gio)
Just like the vegetarian eggroll recipe, the meat-filled version is perfect as an appetizer when you have a big party. It's also a great way to get the little ones acquainted with cooking. It's one of my earliest memories of being in the kitchen.
Preparation is fairly simple and will resemble an assembly line. The filling is essentially mixed together raw and then it's on to assembling, folding and frying.
My littlest sister-in-law turned five this week and we're going to have a birthday party this coming weekend. We're making the mini variety for this occasion because it's a better size for the kids and all around works great as an appetizer. We'll be making between 100 and 200 eggrolls and I guarantee that there won't be any leftovers.

Emma Stone Pranks Colin Firth By Live-Texting 'Bridget Jones'by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
As it turns out, Emma Stone is a huge Colin Firth fan girl!
But really, who isn't? The only difference is that Emma gets to live out his fans' fantasies of getting to exchange text messages with the 53-year-old actor.
Emma and Colin sat down with the Daily Beast to promote their new film, a Woody Allen feature titled 'Magic in the Moonlight.' The redhead shared, "I live-texted Colin the plot of 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' a few months back while I was watching it. You were very upset with me, if I remember correctly. I talked him through what he was doing."
"She's talking through my back catalog via text!" the older Brit joked. "I might decide to not revisit stuff in the past, and then you get a good friend saying, 'Oh, when you were doing this you had this and that expression on your face.'"
Emma could likely recite all of his expressions from memory — she admitted to seeing 'Love Actually' "about 18 times" and 'Bridget Jones' "too many times."
When she's not harassing her costars, she's brushing up on her future-telling skills she learned on the set of their movie, in which she plays a psychic medium.
She told MTV that the song of next summer will be 'Praying to All of Us' (watch the video for the hilarious explanation behind that one), and the trendy food of next year is sure to be Spam.
"I think it's time for a little grilled Spam food truck mash-up," she insisted. "Maybe that's the song of the summer," she added when she realized her sentence had a real ring to it.
Check out all of Emma's psychic abilities in the video below.

Tanzania Police: 4 Saudis Arrested After Blast
A police commander in Tanzania says four Saudi Arabian citizens have been arrested following a bomb attack on a Catholic church.
Magesa Mulogo said Monday that the four Saudi nationals were among six people arrested.
Mulongo said two people died in Sunday's bombing of a newly opened church in the northern city of Arusha. Nearly four dozen people were wounded in the blast just before the church's inaugural Mass, which was attended by the pope's envoy to Tanzania.
Mulogo said eyewitnesses reported that the bomb was thrown from a motorcycle into the church. Mulogo said the driver of the motorcycle is among those arrested.

Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension d over an algebraically closed field k. Can you please list some examples of natural locally free or coherent sheaves that you can always construct on X, regardless whether X has some particular structure or is of general type?
I can only name the two obvious examples: the structural sheave and the sheaf of differentials (and obvious combinations of them, of course, which do not count).
I can believe that these are the only ones for curves, as the genus is the only discrete invariant available.
What about surfaces, for instance?

PHOENIX (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept Arizona's GOP primary with support from a broad cross section of voters who said they were focused on the economy, not immigration or the equally divisive issue of immigration.
Forty-nine percent said the economy was the most important issue in Tuesday's primary, according to exit poll results; 30 percent said it was the federal deficit.
Only 13 percent of Arizona voters called immigration their most pressing concern, and voters were split almost evenly in thirds when asked if illegal immigrants should be deported, allowed to stay as temporary workers or offered a chance to apply for citizenship.
With victories in Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday, "it is inevitable the next president of the United States will be ... Mitt Romney," said Arizona Sen. John McCain, who defeated Romney in Arizona's 2008 GOP primary.
"This has been a fun ride, and it's only just beginning," Romney's Arizona campaign co-chair, state House Speaker Andy Tobin, told a crowd of supporters gathered at a downtown hotel. "The governor has won the most conservative state in America and won overwhelmingly."
Romney took 47 percent of the vote. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum came in second with 27 percent. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich took 16 percent, and Rep. Ron Paul won 8 percent.
Romney's campaign built a solid base by encouraging supporters to cast early ballots and then solidified the winning effort with Romney's performance in the Feb. 22 debate in Mesa, Tobin said.
"We had a machine in Arizona," Tobin said. "With the polls as volatile as they are ... locking up early ballots is huge. It gives you a good baseline, a good cover if you have a close race."
According to exit poll results, Romney captured pluralities of support from voters across sex, race, age education and income.
Santorum was even with Romney only among voters who called themselves "very conservative." Even among voters who said they strongly support the tea party, Romney and Santorum were about even.
Romney drew overwhelming support from fellow Mormons and had about the same support from Catholics as Santorum, who is Catholic.
Each captured about one-third of the Hispanic vote, with Gingrich and Paul splitting the rest. Gingrich has been considered the favorite for Hispanics on the issue of immigration, as he was the only candidate to support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.
But fewer than one in 10 voters were Hispanic, and political watchers said many voters here have grown weary of the rhetoric that has dominated state politics and early debates in the race.
"It is still a key issue," said Jennifer Korn, executive director of the Republican-funded Hispanic Leadership Network. "I think that there will be a lot more discussion in a more rational tone when it comes to the general election," she said.
This year's Arizona primary was overshadowed by Michigan's contest on the same day.
Both states have nearly the same number of delegates, but Arizona's contest is winner-take-all, giving a candidate not expecting to win the statewide vote little incentive to campaign in Arizona. Arizona will send 29 delegates to the Republican convention. That's half of the normal allotment and reflects a penalty imposed because the primary is being held before March 6.
Romney was the only candidate to run ads in the state. There was little in-person campaigning by candidates other than right before a debate held in Mesa last week between Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Paul.
The other candidates didn't invest time or money in the state because of the Arizona primary's winner-take-all status and the base of support that Romney had from the state's Mormon population, said Chris Herstam, a Republican former legislator and political analyst.. "It was a mathematical equation."
"The only political sizzle that Arizona got in 2012 in the Republican presidential race was its nationally televised debate," he said.

View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Welcome, overview, introductions
Process Updates
Presenter: Barry Manning
Summary: Public workshops will be held in February and March (see handout for details) - PEG members are encouraged to attend at least one workshop. The Bureau is also available for hosted workshops with community groups, especially targeting Portlanders who are typically underrepresented in involvement efforts - contactBarry Manning or Marty Stockton with BPS to arrange.
Comments on the working draft of Comprehensive Plan goals and policies are due by May 1, 2013. The PEG will be reviewing at upcoming meetings, but individual PEG members are welcome to submit individual comments through the comment feedback section and the policy survey [linked here and also available on the Comprehensive Plan Update website].
The PEG will be wrapping up its work in June. In preparation, BPS will work with the PEG to draft a memo summarizing the PEG's input on the Working Draft and also capturing the many good ideas for implementation, outstanding issues, and concerns that have surfaced throughout the PEG dialogue. The purpose of the memo is to inform leadership about desired changes to the Working Draft goals and policies, and also to ensure that conversations about implementation measures / desired outcomes are not lost in the interim period between adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Update and the subsequent work needed to implement the Plan. May and June meetings will include PEG review of the memo, in addition to other topics.
Remainder of the PEG work plan as anticipated:
- March 14 Feedback on the Working Draft Part 1. PEG members requested that this discussion include considering how Chapter 1 / Community Involvement relates to implementation of the development policies and what the five pattern areas policy could mean for implementation.
- April 11 (1) Working Draft / consideration of public workshop input; (2) potential discussion issue topic of economic/commercial activities in residential areas (example: short term lodging, institutions, home occupations)
- May 9 (1) Preliminary Comprehensive Plan maps presentation and review; (2) discussion of any outstanding policy topics / issues not already captured; (3) review first draft of PEG memo
- June 13 FINAL PEG MEETING: (1) Final review of PEG memo; (2) mapping process updates; (3) review Comprehensive Plan Update adoption process and next steps
BPS is still developing the next steps for community involvement following the conclusion of PEG work. There may be follow-up/implementation groups formed at some point in the future (TBD) and PEG members will likely be contact in the event of a recruitment. The BPS District Liaison staff will be working with local communities on the Comprehensive Plan Update maps. PEG members noted interest in methods and approaches for mapping to achieve policy objectives - transition districts between intensely commercial/ industrial areas and lower intensity residential areas; mapping through specific objectives (i.e. 'food desert' lens). Additional discussions about mapping will take place in May and June.
Comprehensive Plan Working Draft Review
Presenter: Barry Manning, BPS PEG Lead
Summary: Barry summarized the ways the Comprehensive Plan is used in ongoing City business and provided an overview of the Working Draft - how it is organized and pieces that are different than the current Comprehensive Plan. There are many goals and policies that relate directly to issue topics the RDC PEG has discussed and others that could indirectly guide the way RDC policies are implemented. [These policies are presented in the files linked below under Handouts: RDC Topic and Policy Review and Relevant Policies List, respectively.]
RDC PEG questions and comments about the Working Draft overview:
- What are the new ideas, as related to RDC topics? Where are the 'philosophical shifts' in approach? Which of the policies are derivative of the current Comprehensive Plan and which are wholly new?
- Staff mentioned that the inclusion of health, equity, the urban design framework, and context-sensitive design (as opposed to 'compatible' design) are new thinking included in the Working Draft. Barry will check in with other staff to determine if there are any other news ideas related to the RDC topics.
- Where is the balance with Five Portland's concept - if taken too far, this could make development even more complicated. Is the intent to have five different zoning codes? Need to balance the desire for detailed context-sensitive design with a manageable system. Policies don't yet include a check to ensure balance.
- Are there context-sensitive principles that apply to residential needs beyond historic preservation?
- What is the definition of multi-dwelling residential? All attached housing or some other threshold?
- Policies regarding infrastructure provisions should reference influences outside the control of the City - compliance with state and federal regulations on stormwater, water, energy efficiency, etc.
- Do the draft goals and policies support a development process in historic and conservation districts that is more manageable and less expensive than the current system? What is a policy that could clarify the issue?
- Draft policy language continues to assume that low intensity residential areas will continue to be directly adjacent higher intensity and density areas. It would be better to develop a policy to support scaled transitions between intensities - something that guides use of transitional zoning.
- Transition policies are difficult to assess without graphic explanation. Words aren't enough.
- RDC PEG discussed relationship and conflicts with using opaque buffers while trying to provide an adequate pedestrian network. Policies don't seem to address the need to consider active transportation in balance with the buffering needs.
- Where is the policy supporting buffering between lower intensity residential areas and interstate highways or major roadways (very intense uses of land)? Or consideration of concerns about air quality for residential areas adjacent major transportation corridors?
- Buffering is about more than visual impacts - it's about noise and potential public health impacts (reference to 5.51.b).
- For the policies that use the term 'encourage', it would be helpful if they also included language as to why something is being encouraged (examples: Do communal kitchens necessarily make for healthier eating? Why is modular housing being encouraged?)
- What is a 'Civic Corridor' in Portland? Need to describe what it means and what it could mean for implementation in the future.
Handouts and resources:
Public Comment
- Linda Nettekoven (Community Involvement PEG members) provided additional information about Chapter 1, Community Involvement. She explained that Chapter 1 goals and policies are high level direction and that the CI PEG is also working on a 'public involvement manual' to accompany the Comprehensive Plan policies, as required by state law. The manual is where the details will be about how community involvement should take place, when, successful methods, etc.
Next steps and follow up
- Staff will determine if there are other 'new ideas' of which the PEG should be aware.
- PEG members are encouraged to continue the conversation about the Working Draft on the Idea Board - Barry will send out the link again.
- Working Draft of goals and policies will be discussed at the March and part of April PEG meetings.
- The RDC PEG may take up discussion of economic activities in residential areas in April.

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Entrance Pupil Database"
m (5 revision(s))
(No difference)
Revision as of 19:09, 13 July 2006
I am confused by the terms "horizontal" and "off-axial" adjustment.
It seems like they should be "horizontal" and "vertical".
And these depend on camera orientation. The distance between camera base and lens axis is "horizontal" only if the camera is in portrait orientation. In landscape, that same distance is "vertical".
Pictures should make this clear.
Perhaps it would be even more clear to refer to these offsets as "basal" and "lateral", or some such.
Is there a standard nomenclature for these things? Where is it defined?
I agree with you. Initially I had x, y and z but that would probably be just as arbitrary. I have not had the time to take pictures of the setup to show what I mean. The descriptions I had in mind are based on a portrait setup.
I am not sure if there are standard definition for it. I was not able to find it. Any help or suggestions would be helpfull.
Number of picture for 360 / Degrees between picture
Thanks for adding your measurements.
I have a question. I thought the degrees between the pictures would only be applicable to Fisheye lenses ? Does that also apply to normal lenses ? Or is the difference only noticable in Fisheye lenses, and too small have an impact on normal lenses.
-- Korffr 10:40, 22 May 2005 (EDT)
Hi Richard,
Sorry, I don't know if there is a difference between fisheye and normal lenses. For me it is more an information about the number of pictures needed for 360 degrees with enough overlap. These values are for portrait orientation. Probably we should make a third table with additional things like this then put all the informations in one table, isn't it?

Bluffton Police Chief Joey Reynolds was recently sworn in as the third vice-president to the F.B.I. National Academy Associates, Inc. in Orlando at the organization's Annual Training Conference.
The FBINAA is a non-profit organization of nearly 18,000 members, all of whom are graduates of the F.B.I. National Academy. The organization is dedicated to the highest degree of law enforcement expertise, training, education and information.
Reynolds, who has been active with the organization since he graduated in March 1996, is now slated to be President of the organization in 2017. Reynolds will preside over the Annual Training Conference which will be in Washington, D.C.
The last time a South Carolinian was the President of the FBINAA was in 1981.
"This organization has been a guidepost in my career; the opportunities to train and network with the world's top law enforcement officers enhance the standards of everyone associated with the program," Reynolds said. "I am honored to be able to pass that training on to the officers in Bluffton and in the region."
Reynolds has served as secretary, treasurer and past president of the FBINAA's North Carolina Chapter. In 2009, the members of the international organization elected him to the FBINAA Executive Board as a Section III Representative. Section III consists of the following states: Alabama, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Latin American/Caribbean, Maryland, Delaware, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Reynolds has served for four years as a Section III Representative.
Bluffton Town Manager Anthony Barrett traveled to Orlando to swear-in Reynolds.
"It was a personal and professional privilege for me to swear-in Chief Reynolds as third Vice President of this highly regarded association," Barrett said. "The Town of Bluffton already has greatly benefited from his membership.
"This is a high honor for the Chief and his position also brings credit to the Bluffton Police Department," Barrett said.
Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka said when any representative of Bluffton aspires to excellence in his or her field, it raises the professional standards of the Town and ultimately the services provided for residents and guests.
"We are proud of Chief Reynolds and his accomplishments with FBINAA; his personal and professional standards enhance the Bluffton Police Department and we couldn't be happier that he has a platform to introduce Bluffton to the best officers in the nation and in the world," Sulka said.
As third vice-president, Reynolds will attend meetings and training conferences within the region known as Section III and act as a liaison with the organization. Reynolds will also perform the duties of the president, first vice-President or second vice-president in their absence or as assigned.

Phoneme Media is a nonprofit company that produces books in translation into English and literary films. Based in Los Angeles, the company was founded by Brian Hewes and David Shook in 2013, though it wasn't until 2015 that the press began publishing on a seasonal calendar. To date, Phoneme Media has put out over twenty titles of fiction and poetry, and is particularly interested in publishing works from languages and places that don't often appear in English. Many of their books are accompanied by short films that take on different formats, from video poems to book trailers, and have been shot around the world. Asymptote's Editor-at-Large for Argentina, Sarah Moses, spoke to David Shook over Skype about publishing translations from underrepresented languages and some of the titles he's excited about.
Sarah Moses (SM): How did Phoneme Media start?
David Shook (DS): It came about basically because of my own work as a poet and translator. In my own travels—when I was working in community-based development, mostly in East Central Africa and Latin America—through relationships, through friendships with writers, in places like Burundi and Equatorial Guinea, and writers working in indigenous languages in southern Mexico, for example, I was just encountering all of these writers that I felt deserved to be read in English, that would contribute something important to our literary dialogue and that couldn't find homes in terms of publishers here in the United States and in the UK, too, for a couple of reasons. The first being the lack of translators working in those languages and familiar with those regions, and the second was the fact that these books were somewhat outside the purview of even the publishers who specialized in translation—some great publishers. I think of Open Letter, for example, which has largely focused on literature from European languages, which I also think is incredibly important, but something like a book of poetry from Isthmus Zapotec, or the first translation from the Lingala—a novel we're preparing to publish later this year would definitely be a bit outside their wheel house.
SM: How do you find translators for languages like the ones you've mentioned?
DS: Well I think our reputation is such that, despite having been around a comparatively short time, we're often approached by translators working in more unusual languages. Our translation from the Uyghur, for example, by Jeffrey Yang, and the author is Ahmatjan Osman, who was exiled in Canada, was exactly that situation. Jeffrey brought the translation to us because he knew of our editorial interests. In other cases, like our book of Mongolian poetry, I was alerted to its existence because the translator won a PEN/Heim grant. And I do read widely, both in search of writers and of translators, who I think are important. For example, a place like Asymptote, which I read regularly with an eye toward acquisitions. I mean when we acquired, for example, this novel from the Lingala, the translation was a huge issue because there are very few, if any, literary translators from the Lingala, so I actually auditioned a few Congolese translators before finding this husband-and-wife team, Sara and Bienvenu Sene, who did a really great job. They're really literary translators, whereas most of the translators I'd auditioned were technical translators or interpreters. And it's pretty spectacular, considering I think English is their fourth language. I think a big part of my work is scouting out these translators and also encouraging a new generation of translators to go out into the world and find interesting books. I'm very proud that we've published many first-time translators on Phoneme Media.

Chocolate Lava Cake for Two (with Molten Center)
02.04.09 by Jackie
Chocolate lava cake is a simple chocolate cake that has not been fully cooked through. That may not sound very appetizing but the result is a decadent chocolate molten center that oozes out of the cake when you cut into it.
Valentine's Day is on its way! I titled the recipe Chocolate Lava Cake for Two but in my house, I have to share the love with my 10 other family members.
The little one had her first chocolate lava cake today and she asked me, more like demanded, that I make it every day. Even if you're only making it for your special someone, you might want to make a couple more.

Start a Great Homeware Collection
Home is where the heart is. Home is also where you store your greatest collections of supplies and specialty items. In order to start a great homeware collection, you first need to know what the best assortments are comprised of. If you forego learning this valuable information, you could spend a lot of time (and a lot of money) on shoddy items that can't be passed down to the next generations.
If you'd like to jump straight to the chase, check out the Food Network Store website who offer a great range of products at competitive prices.
Great homeware collections usually consist of high quality ceramic cookware sets, not to mention other items which go along with the basics. However, not every cookware set is created equally. Some are bound to crack or break over time, especially after a lot of use. If you want to start a great homeware collection, you will need to know how to tell the difference between the good and the bad – and you will need to know how to find what you want without searching high and low for it.
Step One: Respect the Benefits of Shopping at Popular Homeware Stores
You could always stop in at a supermarket and see what they have to offer in the way of a good cookware set, but your chances of finding anything extraordinary will be slim to none. Your best bet is to try shopping at some popular homeware stores (such as Ashley Furniture Home Store), if for no other reason than to compare prices on your favorite items. Homeware stores usually specialize in top-of-the-line collections, and their deals are typically quite impressive as well. The best cookware is sold by a merchant with an exclusive license to carry a specific line or brand. This means that your search and your collection should start at these exclusive locations.
Step Two: Know the Difference between Ceramic Cookware and Glass Cookware
As mentioned, not every cookware set is the same. While a great homeware collection consists of several varying pieces, ceramic cookware is typically thought of as the best. This is because ceramic cookware is pretty heavy duty and can usually withstand much higher degrees of heat while being used in ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers. On the other hand, glass cookware and other homeware items are not only much more temperature sensitive, but they can also break quite a bit easier. This means that your brilliant homeware collection will have to be handled with white gloves for years to come; and anyone with an active household knows how difficult that can be at times.
Step Three: Narrow down Your Search by Choosing Which Pieces You Want the Most
Now that you know the basics of starting a great homeware collection, you need to know which pieces will be the most useful. If you don't plan on using items from your collection very often, then you can opt for more fragile items. However, if you plan on doing more than simply displaying your homeware, it's wise for you to pick out ceramic cookware that is practical. Choose bowls, baking dishes, and serving containers is a great place to start. To find the best items, think carefully about your intentions and settle for nothing less than the best for that situation. You may wind up paying a little more for high quality items, but in the end you will be pleased about your frugal investment.
Step Four: Consider Your Existing Homewares
No doubt you'll have accent rugs, bedding sets, tableware and crockery that should all tie in with your new purchases. Keep them in mind, think about what you need and what will match before you go blowing your money on something that you already had or will look silly in among your existing collection of homewares. If you're an entertainer, you'll want to show off the best of what you have to offer.
PartyLite is the world's leading direct seller of premium candles and high-quality home fragrances which can help jazz up any entertainers home.
A great homeware collection consists of items that you personally enjoy and plan to use or display. For years, if you choose the right pieces, you could enjoy your collection and even pass the items down to someone in your family. Don't be afraid to think outside the box when shopping, but remember to always start your search at homeware stores, such as eLuxury Supply to find the highest quality pieces on the market.

How Electric Cars Will Save You Money
If you are someone who watches your dollars and cents, you probably don't own a plug-in hybrid. Sure, they deliver good gas mileage but it's not good enough to offset the higher sticker price needed to cover the costs of the battery. (That's why I own a Honda Fit.) Cars like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight are expensive ways to say, "I'm green."
Electric cars are another story, and that's why the arrival of the Nissan Leaf (left) and the Chevy Volt (below) in just a few months could become a watershed moment for the auto industry, as well as for the environmental movement. Unlike the Prius, the Leaf and Volt are not aimed at the early-adopter, eco-conscious, well-to-do niche buyers on the coasts and in places like Amherst, Mass., and Ann Arbor, Mich. They are being built for the mass market.
The economics make all the difference.
That, at least, is my takeaway from a discussion about electric cars held at a Washington Post Live event called Energy Now. (Video will be posted on the site, the newspaper says.) The panel was stacked with electric-car enthusiasts — Tony Posawatz from Chevy, Carlos Tavares of Nissan, David Crane of NRG Energy, David Vieau of battery-maker A123 Systems and a lone skeptic, Alan Crane of the National Research Council. But with the exception of Alan Crane, they all argued that electric cars will be not only fun to drive, not only convenient (because you don't need to drive to a gas station to refuel) and not only good for the climate and for U.S. energy security, but also cheaper to own over the life of the car.
That's essentially because (1) electric car engines are more efficient than internal-combustion engines and (2) generating electricity from a big coal, natural gas or nuclear plant is more efficient than burning gasoline in millions of cars.
This isn't a new argument. I've heard it from people like David Sokol of Berkshire Hathaway and BYD, and from Shai Agassi (See "Electric cars: all systems go") but David Crane's explanation today laid out the math in clear terms.
Describing NRG's plans in Houston (see "Even Houston, the 'Petro Metro,' Loves Electric Cars"), Crane said the NRG-owned utility company, Reliant Energy, is working with Nissan and plans to offer Leaf owners an all-you-can-eat model for buying electricity to power the car. Here's the selling proposition:
First, NRG would buy and install a Level 2 car charger for the home. Those are worth $1,500 to $2,000, Crane said, and they can fully charge a Leaf, which has a range of about 100 miles, in four to eight hours. "You come home from work, you plug it in, and in the morning it's ready to go again," he said. Second, NRG will build a network of charging stations around the city of Houston. "At no point will you be more than five miles away from a fast charge," he said.) The business model for sustaining the stations remains uncertain.) Third, NRG will offer unlimited mileage for three years at a price still to be determined, but estimated at $70 to $80 a month, added to the utility bill. After the three years, the price would drop because by then NRG will have recouped the cost of the charging station and would only need to pay for the electricity.
So how does the math look? At $80 a month, fuel costs for the Leaf would be $960 a year. By comparison, assume that you drive a conventional car 15,000 miles a year and get 20 mpg. You'll buy 750 gallons of gas. At $2.58 per gallon, the current average price on the Gulf Coast, you'll pay just under $2,000 a year.
You can challenge my assumptions, but that $1,000 a year in fuel savings will over time offset the upfront cost of the Leaf, which is roughly $25,000 after a federal rebate in most places and $20,000 in California which offers a state rebate as well. If gas prices rise, the deal looks sweeter. It looks better yet if, as seems likely, the costs of batteries (and the sticker price) falls.
Then there are the psychic benefits. A123′s Vieau said the company has already hired 300 people at the battery-making plant it just opened in Livonia, Mich., and expects to hire many more. "We're shifting dollars spent on oil overseas to create jobs at home," Vieau said.
People who care about the environment, meanwhile, can take pride in the fact that they are driving cleaner cars.
"American's want to make a difference if they can," NRG's Crane said. "Look at the organic food business."
Now, a couple of caveats: Today's electric car business is heavily subsidized, it must be noted. Buyers get tax breaks. Battery maker A123 got a $249-million stimulus grant, a federal loan guarantee and state subsidies and Nissan was given a $1.4 billion energy department loan guarantee to retool a plant in Smyrna, Tenn. GM, of course, got bailed out.
The second caveat is that it will take years for electric cars to have a major impact. The Chevy Volt will be available in only seven states at first, Posawatz told me that Chevy will make only "thousands" of the cars in the first model year, and "tens of thousands" after that. "If the demand is there, we'll keep building more," he said.
Nissan will make about 60,000 Leafs in Japan during 2011 for the world market. Nissan had been taking pre-orders for the Leaf on its U.S. website, but stopped today because 20,000 have been ordered. The company will be able to build more starting late in 2012 when it opens the Smyrna plant, which has a capacity of 150,000 units a year.
To put that in context, there are more than 250 million cars on the road today in the U.S.
Still, I received an interesting 62-page report earlier today from HSBC Research called Sizing the Climate Economy [PDF]. Its best guess is that the market for low-carbon vehicles — essentially, electric cars — will grow to $473 billion worldwide by 2020, making low-carbon transport business a bigger investment opportunity than low-carbon energy.
Electric cars, in other words, are going to be a very big deal.

Drawings Made with Fingerprint Patterns by Nicolas Jolly
In a drawing style reminiscent of the whorl patterns found in van Gogh paintings, artist Nicolas Jolly draws using a kind of cross hatching that looks like the patterns of fingerprints. The thousands of tiny black ink lines vary in length, direction, and thickness to create landscapes, portraits, and other scenes that seem to be pulsing with energy. You can see many of his drawings close-up in his Fingerprints gallery and several are available as prints over on Society6. (via Behance)

This is where you can upload your bizarro unique voice auditions that just wouldn't fit anywhere else. Please keep this thread only for auditions - feedback and other comments relating to voice work can be posted in the hub thread.

The effect is a little off. Too synthy.. I can handle the special effects as i have professional software to do it in... it also means we can keep the effects consistent across all the voices.
As for the voice... yeah? I am going to need others to weigh in here but it certainly isn't bad... It could be deeper but since there is going to be effects on the voice anyway, i could deepen it as needed..
I could re-render it without the effects if you'd like to just hear my raw performance.
EDIT: Ok, here's those auditions without effects! Yeah, they're going to have to be deepened quite a bit.
Please refrain from posting praise or feedback in these threads. I want to avoid the clutter that plagued the former hub and keep it 'clean' so we can easily find auditions for reference without going through dozens of pages. That is the whole point of this new layout.
Langotriel is a dev, so he's special. He can do whatever he wants - he don't need no man.
So these are the two little rieklings you meet when going into Castle Karstaag, depending on which quest line you've gone with. Hopefully they both sound less intelligent than your average nord but Krish should come off as having slightly more brain function, he is staging a coup after all.
Here is a quick reading for the talking mudcrab merchant. I contemplated giving him an American Irish/New York accent, but very light. It sort of came out in this recording. I'd like to do some Daedra if possible. I have the voice and the plugins to achieve a very frightening, other-worldly demon voice.
Hey just a little piece I whipped up for Mehrunes Dagon, voice and voice manipulation by me, I am a character actor for stage, but I do like to dabble in voice acting. :)
Here's my Audition for M'aiq the Liar if he's not taken already.
I based my voice after the oblivion version of M'aiq the Liar.
I'm brand spanking new here. I'm honestly not sure what I'm shooting for, but I'm just throwing my voice out there! -Jason
Hi. I'm Elijah Lawrence. I'm a huge fan of TES and I would LOVE to do voice work for Skywind. I have a lot of experience in stage acting, and have done some voice acting. Here's my audition for Vivec. If you want me to "un-Americanize" my R's, or do anything to change my speech or voice, I can totally do that. I can also upgrade the audio quality if there's any background humming. Oh, also, the second recording is better - in my opinion at least. Thanks.
P.S. If my voice isn't right for Vivec, I'd be thrilled to do just about any character in the game.

I don't think this voice fits any of the characters in the game, but feel free to try for some of the ither races.
This is my first time using this site. But I've provided a voice clip for you.
Here's my audition for Gilvas Barelo. Thanks!
My Mehrunes Dagon. I used Audacity for the effects and things. I kinda like it.
Vivec as a character has always seemed very compelling and multidimensional to me, so I gave him a shot. I was aiming for something correlated with his character: an ambitious and self-indulgent figure who willingly (and perhaps greedily) ascended to Godhood only to find it being quite a burden, but nonetheless using it for the good of his followers, while in heart remaining the tribunal statesman he once was; aware of the mistakes he's made and in some way trying to find redemption for them. And of course, deep down a wish of becoming mortal once more, dedicated solely to his own amusements instead of cosmic events. That doesn't mean he's unaware of his divine status though, and will not shun from looking down upon the often (in his eyes) 'foolish mortals'.
Inside the .mp3 you'll find a set of lines I picked from the Google document. Feedback of any and all kinds are welcome and appreciated. Just trying to do my part in making this collective dream of Skywind coming to reality.
I don't know what i'm doing, but I learn fast and want to help.
here's a series of voices i used at random: http://soundcloud.com/doctabasco/sets/excerpts-from-on-bullshit-by-harry-g-frankfurt
I voiced Isobel in Interesting NPCs, using an Irish accent. Here's a sample.
Decent enough voice.. nothing i can think of immediately that you would be particularly suited for though. Catch me or smitehammer in the chat at some point and we can figure something out!
This could work for breton i suppose .. some of it is a little unclear though. Same for you .. catch Smitehammer or I in the chat when you see us on (there is usually at least one of us on).
This is a random assortment of voices I conjured up in the last 45 minutes, by the by I will be working on the Enderal Project come this June/July for English voice acting as well which will be fun!
I'm sure some of these could fit into roles for characters. I have some geared to Draemora, some to dark elves, Bosmor, highelf alchemist and so on. Hope you like them, and PLEASE tell me what you think. :)

Oh, sorry for double post, you can delete this one :S
I took a crack at Vivec. I figured I'd do just my voice. If it requires any special effects I can add them ontop.
Edit: I'm also available to do any other styles of voice if needed. I also took a shot at the mudcrab merchant here:
I think I will do a sample of Hermaeus Mora
Hermaeus Mora isn't in Morrowind. Those daedric princes that are in the game, we have special plans for.
Hi, I'm 13 and I know Skyrim had children in it but I couldn't find any auditions for children in the Skywind voice acting auditions. I would love to help if I could, I have a blue yeti. I'm told I have a north American accent because I live in Minnesota so if any of this sounds like something you need, cool, but if not that's cool to.
Here's a type of jester voiceover type, please check it out! Only did a noise removal but that's about it, sounds exactly the same from an untouched version
Hi, first time posting. Thought i would upload my attempt at voice acting to see what you think.
Wrong thread .. This should be posted in the New Hub Thread.. As for children, there are no concrete plans to include them yet. I want them in the game but the general consensus is that there are more important things to focus our resources on at the moment.
Umm.. I don't know if there is anywhere for that voice to go. I am not familiar enough with the characters in the game to know if that is the perfect voice for 1 particular character or if it is unusable. As of right now though, i don't think we need it.
I am sorry. But the sound quality is just not good enough for me to confidently judge your voice. If you find a way to significantly improve the audio quality then you can come back and try again but I don't feel that your current set up is anywhere near the standards we are aiming for. Thanks for trying though :)
Hey there guys here is my submission for Creeper, the Scamp Merchant which I didn't see on the Google Doc for the character list. Aside from this character I can do many accents and I can also sing, and I have a respectable microphone (Blue Yeti).
The audition was done without any voice alterations (except for some standard cleanup) so that you may better judge my voice.
If you think I should try out for some other part or you didn't like my interpretation and want me to do more of the original voice please let me know.
EDIT: Spelling.
Here again for Dagoth Ur. I assume he is a unique voice since he's a God.
I included one with no effects, one with just pitch transposition, and one with an intro and the full effects.

If he can work on the accent I think he'd be perfect for a Moon Sugar addict Khajiit.
here is my Smaug impression!
These are a couple test I did using Audacity effects. Would you like stuff like this for the game?
Link to creature noise samples I did https://soundcloud.com/iccotak/creature-noises-sample-skywind
Sheogorath! Because life is MAD!!! And you always need more Sheogorath!
A small sample of a tweaked voice, I had to do it quite because it's midnight here.
Audacity voice effect voice test
Gollum impersonation. Not sure how it fits in here, just figured I'd upload something.
A random singing test I did.
Just recorded a conversation for fun, watcha think?
Not sure what voice I'd be best at. Recieved an email to post here as I asked in a comment on youtube where I can audition. This is me reading a book from Skyrim. I change my intensity just after 2:50 for some variation. If you think my voice can be used I'd be happy to help with as much as I can. More lines the better = ) Love the Skywind videos and would be honored to have a chance at being a part of it. I can dedicate at least 8 actual recording hours per week if need be I'm sure more.
This is my Sheogorath VA. Hope ya' like it! ^_^
This a voice that could be dragon or some kind of evil chaacter
Creeper and Mudcrab Merchant
Attached is my audition for Dagoth Ur. I watched some videos as a reminder of what his voice sounds like in the game, and tried to mimic the original as much as possible. I realize that some of these will need a little work (and I will need to find my "p screen" to get rid of the harsh 'p' sounds) but I think it gives a good idea of what I am capable of.
I also have a few other people I know who are willing to do some voice acting for this mod, and I have all of the necessary equipment. Regardless of whether or not this particular audition is acceptable, I am excited for my friends and I to contribute if at all possible.
My shot at Vivec. I went for a kind of light, breathy voice to reflect his subtlety and serenity. I have lots of ideas for different voices for this character so let me know what you guys think!
My audition for Sheogorath, I think I was a bit too close to the mic for it, but oh well. Anyway, this was based on the later Sheogorath from Skyrim & Oblivion.

A Photo From My Fan Club
This floppy paddle fan was installed without any box. Instead, the installer used toggle bolts to secure the mounting bracket directly to a real estate sign precariously positioned above those 4-in. raceways. No wonder the maintenance manager called to complain that his fan was "wobbling like crazy!"
The fan was wired with SJO type cord, which was simply thrown over the top of the raceways and then connected to a surface-mounted switch box on the wall. Using flexible cord in this manner is a violation of 400.8(1), which does not permit flexible cords to be used as a substitute for a fixed wiring method.
The installer also violated the intent of 422.18, which requires ceiling-suspended paddle fans to be supported independently of an outlet box, or by securing the fan to a listed outlet box identified for the support of paddle fans. Since no box was used for the bracket or to enclose the splices, we could argue that 300.15 has also been violated — because that section of the Code requires a box or conduit body to be installed where splices are made in cable-type wiring methods.
Mix and Match Mess
Apparently, whoever installed this pipe run couldn't make up their mind whether to use EMT or PVC. Unfortunately, he or she also decided not to use any connectors or couplings to attach these two different types of raceways. Simply shoving the EMT into a factory-made PVC 90° elbow seemed like a much better idea!
Maybe the installer ran out of parts or simply could not bend the EMT. But no matter what the reason, he or she violated the rules of 300.10, because the EMT raceways are not "metallically joined together into a continuous electrical conductor." Section 300.10 also requires raceways to be "mechanically secured to boxes, fittings, cabinets, and other enclosures." Although you can't see it in this photo, there were no mechanical connections made between any of these raceway sections or where the EMT connected to the boxes at the ends of the run.
We can also cite a violation of 250.120(A), because it requires, in part, equipment grounding conductors, where consisting of metal raceways, to be installed "using fittings for joints and terminations approved for the use" with the raceways used. It also requires "connections, joints, and fittings to be made tight using suitable tools."
Lastly, 250.4(A)(3) requires the EMT to be bonded together and to the supply source to create an "effective ground fault current path."

DAVIS, Calif. – The Gauchos clinched their sixth consecutive series win on Saturday afternoon by virtue of a 8-1 victory over the UC Davis Aggies, equaling their longest series win streak since 2001.
With the win, UCSB moved to a season-best 10 games over .500 at 33-23, with a 16-10 record in Big West play. UC Davis fell to 19-36, 5-21.
Robby Nesovic starred on the mound for the Gauchos, tossing his fourth straight quality start and improving his record to 4-3 by pitching into the seventh inning and allowing just a single unearned run.
He matched season-bests with his 6 2/3 innings pitched, four hits against, and zero earned runs against, all of which came on Apr. 14 at Cal State Fullerton.
Nesovic survived a trio of UCSB errors by inducing double plays in both the third and fifth innings.
UC Davis' Austin Logan landed the only extra base hit of the day off Nesovic with a leadoff double in the seventh inning. After retiring the next two batters, Logan would come around to score on an error. Nesovic's day ended when he gave up a single to the next batter.
After a ten-run output on Thursday, the UCSB offense was just as effective against Aggies starter Spencer Koopmans, scoring runs in five of the first six innings and six of nine overall.
Left fielder Joey Epperson sparked the Gauchos all night. He had leadoff doubles in both the first and third innings, coming around on RBI singles by Tyler Kuresa and Brandon Trinkwon. The Lafayette, Calif. native finished 4-4, reached base five times, and scored three times.
The Gauchos were able to score a pair of runs in both the fifth and sixth innings as well. Epperson started yet another rally in the fifth after reaching on a hit by pitch. After a Brandon Trinkwon walk, Epperson came around to score when Koopmans made a throwing error on a sac bunt. A Kuresa RBI groundout then scored Trinkwon.
RBI base hits from Epperson and Trinkwon in the sixth pushed the UCSB lead to 7-0, before Cameron Newell closed the scoring with a run-scoring groundout in the ninth.
Trinkwon, Kuresa, Marc Venning, and Luke Swenson each tallied a pair of hits as part of a 15-hit team effort, two off the season-best of 17 hits against UC Irvine on May 3.
Koopmans was tacked with the loss, falling to 1-9 on the year.
Greg Mahle and Jared Wilson combined to keep the Aggies off the board for the final 2 1/3 innings of the game.
The Gauchos will finish up the regular season with their 1:00 p.m. series finale on Saturday afternoon. Sophomore lefty Andrew Vasquez will take on Evan Wolf of UC Davis.

First off I'd like to thank all of you who sent me letters during my little breakdown there, letting me know how much you guys enjoyed the comic. They really meant a lot to me. Thank you. I'm doing my best to keep this sucker rolling, and I feel I've faltered in that largely due to projected goals and deadlines being pushed back time and time and time again. Sometimes I had a hand in that, sometimes there was nothing I could do. Regardless, it's bummed me out over the course of the last… six months? Longer? Hard to say anymore. Regardless! I'm updating again, and I'll continue updating as often as I can!
Being all introspective and what not, I've realized I'm not really a comic artist. I'm an artist/illustrator/whatever you want to call it who happens to do a comic in his spare time. That's right, I actually have a day job. Well, sort of. Not in the 9-5 sense, but in the sense of that's how I keep a roof over my head and keep the comic updating as best I can. It's a strange realization for me. Maybe not for anyone else, but for me, it's interesting to see myself in that light. I mention this mostly because, at long last you can now acquire a large selection of my artwork in MULTIPLE SIZES! In addition to the jumbo 16×20″ prints, my art can now be purchased online in the more space-saving 10×13″ and 8×10″ sizes! Huzzah!
I also have a number of new T-shirt designs available for pre-order. Now you don't have to track me down at a convention to find the wall-art you're looking for. Not that I'd ever discourage you from trying to find me at a convention. Speaking of, my last convention of the year is going to be Nekocon, the first weekend of November. I'll be running some awesome panels, and it should be a blast! I hope to see at least some of you guys there!
