[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 2.8Sep 14, 2014 Morrowind Rebirth 2.8 Full Version 5 comments
Hi guys! It's time for another update, and this is a big one. For about three months I've been working hard to improve Morrowind Rebirth in various ways...
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an epic, open-ended single-player game where you create and play any kind of character you can imagine. Be the noble hero embarking on an epic quest, or an insidious thief rising to leadership of his guild. Be a malevolent sorcerer developing the ultimate spell of destruction, or a reverent healer searching for the cure to a plague. Your actions define your character, and your gameplay changes and evolves in response to your actions. Confront the assassins' guild, and they take out a contract on you. Impress them, and they try to recruit you instead. No two sagas are the same in the world of Morrowind.
Gameplay is further extended with the inclusion of The Elder Scrolls Construction Set (bundled with the game). This powerful tool is being used to create the entire game, and will also allow players to modify and add to Morrowind in any way they see fit. Change character or creature attributes and skills, introduce new weapons or dungeons into the game, or create entire new worlds to explore. Consequently mods for this game are everywhere, ranging in size from mere characters to fully themed packs! So should you ever want to expand on your gaming experience, be sure to scope out just a few of the amature modifications available and in existence!
About Morrowind Rebirth 2.8 with 7 comments by trancemaster_1988 on Sep 14th, 2014
Here's a list of some of the things changed/fixed/added in 2.8:
Vanilla Fixes
* "Nomeg Gwai" and "Molag Grunda" will no longer have a soul value. This change is based upon the following quote: "I have spoken to Molag Bal through his statue in the shrine at Bal Ur. He tells me that he does not have the cure for my vampirism, but he will get it for me if I do him a favor. His daughter, Molag Grunda, has been consorting with a Frost Atronach named Nomeg Gwai. If I can kill the two of them, returning their souls to a realm where Molag Bal may punish them, Molag Bal will give me the cure."
* Alfe Fyr, Beyte Fyr, Delte Fyr and Vistha-Kai are now marked as "essential". Previously you didn't get a warning for killing these NPC's, which could make the quest "Find a way to cure the dreaded Corprus disease" unsolvable.
* The front door to the temple in Suran used a Hlaalu style door instead of a Velothi style door (Thanks to "cml33" for the fix).
* "steel_cuirass" and "steel_cuirass_ancient" were missing their biped object(chest) female armor data "A_Steel_Cuir_Female.
* "bonemold_tshield_hrlb" used the wrong biped object;"towershield_bonemold" instead of "towershield_redoranm".
* Removed Orcish Tower Shield from Umbra's inventory; Umbra wields a two-handed sword.
* Fixed incorrect door sounds:
- Wooden Door Close 1 Fx \ trans \ drcreak_opn.wav -> Fx \ trans \ drcreak_cls.wav
- Wooden Door Open 1 Fx \ trans \ drcreak_cls.wav -> Fx \ trans \ drcreak_opn.wav
* Removed duplicated tower section and a corner post piece at the Wolverine Hall.
* Removed duplicate quest container (ahnassi_drink) from "Ahinipalit".
* "Ten Pace Boots" now render properly in third person.
Rebirth Fixes/Changes
* Restored "Hair Shirt of St. Aralor" so that the player is able to finish the quest "Recover this lost relic from Kogoruhn.".
* Removed "Jarl Ragnarsson" from Caldera. The letter found in his house points to that he's no longer on Vvardenfell.
* "Conoon Chodala's Boots" weight, armor rating and health now matches those of the "Heavy Leather Boots".
* Some enchanted weapons had stats that didn't match vanilla counterparts (enchantments left untouched).
* Fixed an issue where stats for the Fighters Guild or the Blades didn't show up in the stats menu.
* Decreased the 'buzzing' sound flies make around corpses and skeletons.
* Removed "dark" light source in Seyda Neen Census and Excise Office.
* Removed a rock which were covering the door to Mausur Caverns.
* Demon Mace model changed from an Ebony Mace to a Steel Mace.
* Fixed a bunch of floaters and geometry issues in Ebonheart.
* Removed "xspriggan.nif", which were the cause of a crash.
* Fixed incorrect placement of a travel marker in Hla Oad.
* Fixed a gap in the large bridge just outside Balmora.
* Fixed doubled door issue in the Balmora Council Club.
* Included a missing texture "TR_empire_map.dds".
* Fixed incorrect icon for the Morag Tong Helm.
* "Camp Fire" renamed to "Campfire Kit".
* Added AI-packages to several NPCs.
* Fixed pubsign uv.
Landscape fixes and improvements (Shegorad Region, Ascadian Isles, Bitter Coast)
* Rezised/moved/added/removed/raised/lowered/ rocks, trees, bushes, grass etc to make the landscape look more natural.
* Fixed several texture seams.
* Smoothened unnatural terrain.
* Fixed hundreds of floaters.
Rebirth Additions
The Black Pearl
* Somewhere in the Ascadian Isles, a rare black pearl is said to remain hidden. Legend has it that this pearl once belonged to Dagoth Ur himself. Will you be able to locate the pearl, or will you perish during your quest to find it?
* Added a few glass bracers across Vvardefell, as they were too hard to come by.
* Socucius Ergalla now has his own room in the Census and Excise building.
* Refurnished Caius Cosades house to make it look less "rough".
* Added an Almsivi Intervention point by the Ghostgate.
* Decreased the radius of all light sources.
* Two new gems: Sapphire and Topaz.
* Misc additions here and there.
* Weak/Strong/wild Spelldrinker were too costly, and powerful. Reduced magnitude to make these three spells more cost-effecient and less powerful.
* Dreamers are now tougher, more varied in appearance, and wield a larger variety of chitin weapons.
* All "Dagoth" and "Ash" encounters are now tougher (more health/damage).
* Increased the cost of "Potion of Cure Blight Disease" from 50 to 75.

* Fixed incorrect texture path in the Chitin Pauldron mesh (TX_A_Chitin_Shield_round.BMP instead of TX_A_UA_Chitin_pauldron.BMP).
* Fixed incorrect texture path in the Dunmer stronghold meshes (dirtroad.tga" was instead of "boulder.tga).
* Improved and smoothed meshes for Indoril Helmet, Shield, Boots and Gauntlets (Thanks to CemKey).
* Fixed bad vertex shading for a door lock/handle (in_c_door_wood_square).
* Fixed several meshes which had the wrong ambient color.
- c_m_robe_exquisite_1.1st.nif
- c_m_robe_exquisite_1.nif
- artifact_bloodring_01.nif
- c_ring_common02.nif
- c_ring_common04.nif
* New less colorful textures for Grazeland trees.
* Improved uv and mesh for the Telvanni forge.
* New icon for the Draugr Berserker's Helm.
* Improved mesh for the Glass Shield.
* Turned the esp into an esm to avoid conflicts with the main plugin.
* Dunmer's racial ability "From Fire and Ash" re-named to "Ashborn".
* Added AI-packages to several NPCs.
* Fixed missplaced trapdoor.
* Added gold to traders.
* Fixed floaters.
* Now fully compatible with "Solstheim Tomb of the Snow Prince"
* Removed some textures/meshes/icons from the dl-package.
* New document with credits.

Anyway, best RPG ever, Oblivion doesn't even come close to Morrowind.
correct oblivion is miles better
nah, oblivion got way too broken in the gamebryo engine.
morrowind's still better.
well, they say that the new Elder scrolls(5) will come with a different engine.
oblivion is much better, and yes it will be made on a new engine created by Bethesda. Its called the creation engine, and it will be amazing.
The best game EVER!!!!!!! I have the GOTY, but it really sucks that this game lost a best game ever contest to metal gear 2!!!!!!

Summary: two years into a relationship with Darren, Chris mindlessly says the wrong name in bed. 1750 words,
Author note: i just love my beta, yumi, thank you <3
read on Ao3
"Oh fuck. Yes. God. Yes!"
"You… like that… baby?" Chris's words came out in an amused tone, even though they were spoken breathy, labored, and interrupted with audible groans. He also didn't miss the smug grin on Darren's face as he said them.
Perfume: thoughts
The smell of that perfume, your perfume
The smell of you… linger in my head
Laced with memories that seems a decade old
It smells like you…
It smells like me
And all that we sheared together
It's the scent of lazy afternoons on your bed
Under the sheets
Holding each other
Like it would kill us to let go
The smell of words spoken in the darkness
Of shy firsts
And bold, sure touches
It's the smell of us stealing minutes of our long day
Ignoring obligations
To talk… to flirt
The smell of stolen kisses
And subtle smiles
Words of affection that were spoken in silence
The smell of us walking for hours
Till our muscles complain
Getting lost in a busy street
Laughing so loud
And making complete fools of our self in front of strangers
Of us holding hands
And not caring because no one knows us here
So far away from home…
You're no longer here with me
But your perfume continues to haunt me…

Summary: "I really want to put my finger inside your mouth" Darren suddenly said, it came out in a relaxed easy tone, like he wasn't saying something entirely sexual, not to mention really kinky. Chris snorted, trying not to laugh.
"You mean you want to put the finger in my mouth," Chris swiftly shifted his gaze down to Darren's crotch then quickly looked back up to his eyes, daring him to deny it.
posted for CC week (Day 5: no plot necessary)
Author note: quick thanks to ishipcc for beta reading this. Also dag for reading some of the porny parts and liking it :D
Chris's neck seemed to be useless in doing its everyday function. For some reason his neck muscles are too lax, they won't contract properly to hold his head still. Chris decided to rest his wobbling head on the back of the couch; until a solution to this newfound problem is reached.
Getting high was fun, Chris decided. His head felt light and heavy at the same time. Plus the sensation that the place where your brain normally occupies, which strangely now feels empty, it's kind of awesome and surprisingly freeing. I don't think I have a brain anymore!! He thought to himself, smiling unconsciously.

Summary: Darren always thought that his one-sided, little crush on Chris was harmless, but then after a particular shoot in New York things changed, and it became an obsession. Darren decided then that he needs to get over his friend. Faced with a rare opportunity for what seems to be a one-night stand with Chris, will Darren fall into lust or spare his heart the ache?
Posted for CC week (Day 3: behind the glee)
Author note: I suck at summaries, the rating already gave it away. Anyway I wanna thank my beta ulysses31dancer, who continued to tolerate my constant messaging and stupid questions, she's really awesome <3
Darren Criss won't lie, especially not to himself; he's not that kind of a person. Yeah, sure, he might ignore things, push them to the back of his hyperactive brain and put a million other stuff that he wants to do or needs to do on top of those said things and bury those things deep; so deep that he won't necessarily need to deal with them.
He does that often, and it has always worked.
But he can't lie, he prides himself with being honest and open, he believes that 'said openness' comes from within. Darren Criss was never a hypocrite, and he's not about to start acting like one now.
It's all Fun and Games: Darren Is an Idiot!

Pairing: Darren Criss/Chris Colfer
Rating: PG
Warnings: sexual language
Word count: 6300
Summary: all that Chris wanted was Darren's help with his sister's birthday present, but Darren on the other hand had other things planned when he got Chris locked-in behind his bedroom door. Friendship crisscolfer, with sexual tension and a cameo appearance of Joey and Chris's video camera. Same universe as the first 'it's all fun and games: good actor' fic, but you don't have to read it, this can be read separately.
Author note: this could not be possible without my dear, dear beta (aka best beta in the world) my favorite person on tumblr, ulysses31dancer, you took time from your busy life to fix this and make 100% better, I heart you so much xo
God help me! I don't know what to do with this guy! This is frustrating and I believe that I've reached the point of giving up. Seriously, I'm quitting this friendship. He has successfully driven me off!
'Yeah, right!'
You don't understand! You see, the thing about Darren Criss that pisses me off the most is that he doesn't know when to stop. There's a time and place for certain behavior and then there's things that you don't say, like ever. Apparently Darren skipped class the day they taught this, because the guy has no filter, period. He just says and does whatever the fuck he wants and I'm just fed up with it.
I don't know how to deal with him anymore. Glaring doesn't work, I've tried. Asking him to stop it, won't shut him up either. Fuck, even hitting him wasn't successful. The other day he kept spanking my ass, I'm not kidding. He was spanking my ass while telling me how tasty it looked in tight jeans! So, I used a combination of all three of my best: I gave him my best bitch face, told him to back off and pinched his arm. But even that wasn't enough; the asshole just kept doing it!
'He could be flirting?'
No, he's not flirting. The worst thing is though, it doesn't stop there. I wish it did. He's too touchy, constantly in my personal space, with the hand holding and the casual arm around my shoulder and waist. Friends don't do that! Best friends don't sniff your hair or kiss your cheek, or cuddle with you on a bed! Not since the last time I checked anyway. They don't go around hugging you every time you meet them, even if some do, he doesn't follow the three pats on the back rule! After three pats, you're meant to let go!! A Darren Criss hug instead goes on for forever. I had to physically threaten him once just to get him to let me go!!
I'm not a prude, far from it… sometimes touching between friends is essential, but again, there's a time and a place, and certainly there's limits. Darren Criss goes beyond such things; he's so far behind the line of socially-acceptable-behavior-between-friends, that he can't even see it.
'You love him anyway. Fact is, Chris, you love him because he's different!'
No I don't, I hate him!
'Hate is a strong word'.
Okay, so I don't hate 'hate' him, but sometimes I seriously could consider strangling him to death! That is not normal! I don't think it is normal when you spend half an hour, every other week, plotting your best friend's murder.
'Chris, you're overreacting.'
I'm not! And let this story be a clear warning to anyone who is considering a friendship with the one and only Darren Criss.
Note: This came out of nowhere, I was looking at the crisscolfer tag, and it came to my mind, wrote it down quickly, sorry for the mistakes, unbetaed. Every thought is written in a line, this is how I think :P
Summary: Darren told Chris that he loves him, Chris doesn't love him back. This is his thought process, while he's trying to figure out what to say back.
I'm having a moment.
His eyes are staring at me, he is not blinking.
He hasn't blinked for a minute, I believe.
How can someone not blink for that long?
And why?
Are you afraid of missing something?
You would hear if I say anything…
Are you trying to read my mind?
It's been like 90 seconds, now.
Why won't you blink?
Shit, have I been silent for that long?
He is expecting me to say something.
But what could I say?
I don't have an answer to your question…
Title: Blurry Lines
Pairing: Darren Criss/Chris Colfer
Summary: Chris struggle with questions and strange thoughts while shooting a kissing scene with Darren. what is crossing the 'line' when acting? One shot. PG
Word count: just over 2000
Author note: a Crisscolfer one shot, that I wrote while being so depressed and crying all day, enjoy. thanks again to ulysses31dancer, for fixing this, i love u dear :)
Kissing is one of the most intimate acts that can happen between two people. It is sharing a part of yourself and when you're kissing someone you're vulnerable, exposed, naked and bare in your partner's arms. No matter what kind of kiss it is, whether it's a peck on the lips or a long lingering kiss, or a passionate exchange with the touch of each other's tongues or a breathtaking life-changing experience, or a habit that you do every day; each and every kiss is intimate. And then, there is the movement of your hands, the tilt of your head, how close you pull or push or how confident your tongue is. It's all relative to your own psyche, your own thoughts. It is all the little things that give you away; kissing is a small window to your soul.
Chris Colfer is no virgin so he is far from innocent or naïve. He knows first-hand what it feels like to be touched and to be loved. He's had a boyfriend or two, one of which worshiped the ground that he walked on, a boy that did everything and anything for Chris.
Author note: Hi, so this is the result of spending the whole weekend reading crisscolfer fics, I had so much feeling that I had to write this so I could breathe. Big thanks to my lovely beta ulysses31dancer, thanks for making this fic readable ;)
Pairing: Darren Criss/ Chris Colfer
Summary: all Chris really wants is to win the challenge and make Darren crack up while doing their famous Klaine skits, but apparently Darren is a good actor, or so he thinks?
rated PG13
"Hey, Chris!" I called after him. He was only three meters ahead of me on his way towards the dressing rooms. I was walking behind him, my eyes glued to his back as he moved, the noise of the roaring crowds still audible in my ears.
"Hey, Chris, stop!" I said a little louder, and I knew he heard me, because he started to increase his speed. 'Oh, you're not getting away from me Colfer,' I thought as I hurried my legs to catch up with that cute little butt of his.
'Cute butt?' Previously I would have mentally kicked myself for thinking such things. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's not okay to think of my male co-worker's butt, let alone describe it as cute, but these thoughts have been raining in my head like a storm ever since I met the one and only Christopher Colfer. Believe me; literally kicking myself hasn't even stopped those inappropriate thoughts… I've tried.

Saturday night was a tough game for the Yankees. They had their best pitcher on the mound, Masahiro Tanaka, and he pitched an incredible game making only two mistakes that wound up costing him. The Yankee offense really struggled against Jon Lester Saturday night and put together a weak effort against closer Koji Uehara. Tanaka can only do so much in his starts; the Yankees need to start supplying him with some run support.
Rookie right hander Chase Whitley (3-1 4.07 ERA) takes the mound for the Yankees on Sunday as they try to win the series against bitter rival Boston. Whitley is looking to bounce back from his worst career start last time out as he was tagged for eight earned runs on eleven hits in just 3.1 innings.
The righty has been reliable this year up until last week, but the last time out his command just wasn't there. What made him so effective previously was his ability to throw pitches exactly where he wanted to. He nearly doubled his season total for walks allowed last game when he walked three Blue Jay batters. Boston will be a good test for Whitley as teams are starting to have a better scouting report on the relatively unknown rookie.
On the mound for the Red Sox will be veteran John Lackey (8-5 3.45 ERA) who is also coming off his worst start of the season. Last time out, Lackey was roughed up in Seattle for seven runs on seven hits in just 3.2 innings. Before his last start, Lackey had looked like he had found the fountain of youth as he had not given up more than three runs in a game since May 17th. Lackey has faced the Yankees twice already this season, one where he looked terrible (six runs on ten hits) and one where he was dominant (eight innings of one run baseball while striking out eleven).
What to Watch For…
Ellsbury's Success Against Former Team: Jacoby Ellsbury continues to remind Boston who they are missing in center field as he has crushed the ball against his former team. In nine games, Ellsbury is hitting .361 with six doubles, a triple, and six RBI's.
Tex vs. Lackey: Mark Teixeira is a career .300 hitter against John Lackey. In 70 at-bats, the switch hitter has three doubles, two home runs, and 13 RBI's.
Bullpen Shutting the Door: In their last four games, Yankee relievers have allowed just one unearned run. Over that span, the bullpen has given up just seven hits in 13.2 innings while striking out 16.

My son hasn't gone through puberty yet, but sometimes he gets body odor. I wonder if it's time for him to start using deodorant, but I worry that it might be too early.
– Shauna
As kids enter puberty, a lot of them start to develop body odor. Different kids start puberty at different times, but boys generally begin between ages 9 and 14.
Deodorants get rid of the odor of sweat by covering it up, and antiperspirants actually stop or dry up perspiration. There's no specific age at which kids can start using it, but they should read the directions. Some work better if they're used at night, whereas others recommend application in the morning.
And it wouldn't hurt to remind your son about some hygiene basics. Encourage him to get into the habit of showering every day. Additionally, he also may want to shower after activities where he's worked up a sweat. Encourage him to wear clean clothes, socks, and underwear each day.
If your son is feeling self-conscious about sweating and body odor, talk with his doctor.

Portugal Telecom
Telecom and Media: A Profitable Business Partnership?
By Vanina Egea - July 30, 2013 | Tickers: BCE, PT, VIV
Traditional phone companies have disappeared. Telephone companies today offer wireless services, satellite television, and broadband Internet in addition to landlines. Portugal Telecom (NYSE: PT), BCE (NYSE: BCE), and VIV Telefonica Brasil (NYSE: VIV) are some of the companies active in telecom that will be looked upon to assess these expanding prospects.

Lesser Known Stocks With Quality Dividends

If any of you have been paying attention to my columns over the last few months you know that I'm a big fan of dividends.

After all, according to MSN Money's Financial Highlights, Portugal Telecom pays a dividend of more than 14%, grew revenues at more than 64%, and grew earnings at more than 217%. Those numbers are, however, a bit more »
Calling All Yield Hunters!
By Chad Henage - October 1, 2012 | Tickers: BCE, ORAN, PT, VOD
Dividends have become more popular over the last few years, as investors have realized that these payouts give them protection even if the market goes down. For those who reinvest their dividends they also get the benefit of a higher effective yield over time. There are certain areas of the market where dividends are more prominent, and the telecom industry has been a mainstay for income investors for a long time. In this industry though, there is clearly a situation of the haves and the have nots. On the surface, many telecoms seem to offer very attractive payouts with some yields in the double digits. However, investors have learned with the blowup of Telefonica's dividend, that these payouts are not all created equal. That being said, there are still some very attractive dividends offered in particular in the international marketplace.
You Can't Miss this Telecom Company
By Piyush Arora - September 7, 2012 | Tickers: OIBR, PT, TSU, VOD
Global telecom companies have diversified their operations globally, which reduces their operational risk. While diversification is good for the portfolio, it also reduces the rewards, which makes it tougher for the telecom giants to globally stage their turnaround. It is for this reason that spotting high growth opportunities is difficult. Portugal Telecom (NYSE: PT) is one company that had its operations limited to Portugal. The company started diversifying its operations more »

Dividend stocks are wonderful because they increase my cash with regular payments. One major date in relation to the payment is the ex-dividend date. If you own a stock before this date, you get the next payment.

Marchesa, The Makeup
We told you it was coming; now, the wait will soon be over. After teaming up with Le Métier de Beauté for their Fall show back in February, Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are debuting a limited-edition makeup collection for the brand that will hit shelves in September. The collaboration, which fuses LMDB's heralded textures and colors with Marchesa's knack for classic glamour, features four dual-ended lip glosses, two Sheer Illumination highlighting pens, and two multipurpose palettes—the cornerstone of the range—which were created with Craig and Chapman's respective styles in mind. Craig's Le Soleil includes a cheek/lip/eye and face color for a bronzed goddess look, while Chapman's La Lune features a translucent powder, concealer, berry-tinged lip gloss, peachy cream blush, and an onyx shadow to properly build her signature smoky eye. The silver packaging is also a talking point, having been directly inspired by Sandra Bullock's silver bugle Marchesa gown from this year's Oscars. We caught up with Chapman and Craig via email to discuss their beauty beginnings, getting ready on the go, and of course, Marchesa Luisa Casati, who is not only the brand's fashion muse but its beauty icon as well. According to the designers, "her iconic style serves as inspiration for everything we do."
After six years designing gorgeous dresses for the Hollywood set, why try your hands at makeup?
GC/KC: When creating the collections for our shows, we always found that makeup played an integral part in the completion of the overall look and feel of the season. It was important for us that our makeup line reflect the same level of craftsmanship synonymous with Marchesa, and Le Métier was the ideal partner for this. We had always loved their products, both for their fantastic quality as well as their unique aesthetic appeal.
Walk me through the creative process. How did you arrive at the range in its final incarnation?
We really just opened up our own makeup bags and decided which items we couldn't live without. Once we decided on what these basics were, we spent hours trying on an endless rainbow of colors and finishes to develop palettes that would work for a broad range of looks as well as day-to-day coverage. We decided on these particular combos because they worked for all our beauty needs.
Are you both big makeup wearers in "real" life?
As designers, we're obviously very attracted to makeup because, like clothes, it helps tell a person's story. Makeup is such a big part of fashion, which is what we love and what we do for a living, but there is a difference between the runway and real life. Although we love experimenting with avant-garde looks for our shows, we find that for our everyday lives, simple is always best. We are usually so busy with work that we have very little time to primp, so the more convenient the product the better. We stick to products that work for us year round, are great quality, and are easy to use. We also make sure to keep up a routine skincare regimen with Patricia Wexler products.
What cosmetics can't you live without?
Lipstick. Even when you're barefaced, a little lip color can make a world of difference.
As far as the general inspiration for the new line, what was your main goal with the palettes, the lip duos, and the pens?
We have very chaotic schedules that require us to consistently get ready on the go, so our ideal product was one that could encompass everything you needed for a complete look (concealer/powder/shadow/lip) in one slim, easy-to-carry package. The slim palettes, highlighting pens, and lip duos are so compact that they can come with you anywhere you go, and the colors are perfect for creating both day and night looks. You can literally be ready at a moment's notice and still have time to spare to pick out your outfit—what more could we ask for?!

Natacia Webster of Montgomery, Ala., was sentenced today to 50 months in prison for conspiracy, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced. Webster had pleaded guilty to those charges in September 2012. She was also ordered to pay $113,000 in restitution and will serve three years on supervised release following her release from federal prison.
According to her plea agreement, Webster had been an employee in the central records office of an Alabama state agency, which allowed her access to the personal identifying information of numerous individuals. Webster stole identifying information from state databases and provided them to a co-conspirator, Melinda Clayton. Clayton would then use those stolen identities to file false federal tax returns that fraudulently claimed refunds. Clayton was sentenced earlier in the year to 61 months in prison.
Kathryn Keneally, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Tax Division, commended the efforts of special agents of IRS - Criminal Investigation, who investigated the case, and Tax Division Trial Attorneys Jason H. Poole and Michael Boteler, who prosecuted the case with assistance from Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Brown and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Alabama.

Being a forever Giants fan since birth I just pray that he returns to anything close to normal Tim. But biz is biz and we have to face reality that the Giants will have to release or trade him. They are not typically big spenders (Zito) and I agree with you on the other players being kept.

TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees
Many Giants fans feel that Tim Lincecum is a ticking time bomb. After exploding onto the MLB stage by winning back-to-back Cy Young awards in 2008-09, the Freak imploded last season, going 10-15 with a hefty 5.18 ERA. That has left many of us to ponder the question, "Have we seen the best of Timmy?" Giants execs have been reluctant to sign Lincecum (2 years, $40.5 million) to the kind of contract given to his sturdy teammate Matt Cain (6 years, $127.5 million). That's probably because they fear that Timmy's diminutive size — coupled with the way he throws the ball — is a recipe for disaster. (Granted, he has reportedly gained 10 pounds during the offseason.) Also, Lincecum has lost 5-7 miles off his fastball over the years and his walks total has steadily increased as well. Now, Big Time Timmy Jim is entering a big-time contract year. He turns 29 in a couple of months and by then, San Francisco will probably have a good idea upon which Lincecum they'll need to make a decision. Sure, Lincecum was effective as a World Series reliever (4.2 innings, 0 runs, 0 hits, 1 walk, 8 strikeouts), but nobody's going to pay $20 million a year for a reliever, even if closer Sergio Romo flames out as the Giants' stopper. I would hope that Giants GM Brian Sabean has learned his lesson about signing 29-year old former Cy Young winners to lengthy and expensive contracts, right Barry Zito? Quite honestly, San Francisco would be better off investing their money in young stars Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval. Then, take the money they'd normally pay Lincecum, plus the money they'd save by opting out on Zito's contract in 2014, and hit the winter meetings hard in December. The 2014 free agent market looks strong right now. Unless they're signed to extensions by their current clubs, Cardinals righty Adam Wainwright and the Marlins' Josh Johnson will be available and command a lot of attention, as will Yankees hurler Phil Hughes. (All of whom, by the way, have had their personal share of time on the DL.) Sabean could also look to trade for a replacement starter to fill the rotation. Don't get me wrong. I loves me some Timmy Lincecum, and the dude's credentials are rock solid, I just don't trust his arm anymore. Do you? - – - – - – - Are you going to Opening Day?

THis cartoon isn't about gun control legislation.

I get that his victims have suffered. No person should have their last glimpses on earth be of someone like Lockett. It's the response to vile, criminal behavior we're talking about. I was recently held up at gunpoint. Had he used his weapon, it would not have helped me to know that my government would kill the kid who did it.
OK, guys. Just a small primer on cartooning. Every day is a different cartoon on a different slice of reality. DeSharkie accuses me of slighting charter schools. I've done several other cartoons supporting them AND one of the bubbles is about kids who wanted to get into a charter but didn't win the lottery—an idiotic way to apportion kids to schools. There is no one "problem" with a big city's school system. Poverty, lack of funds, dysfunctional home lives are all contributing factors but so are rigid unions and"advocates" who only advocate for old time public schools whether they are failing schools or not. THis mess needs MANY cartoons.
For those of you outside the fine state of Pennsylvania, four state legislators were caught on tape accepting gifts, one former state senator is serving out his sentence in house arrest, a state judge is in the clink, and several other state legislators (both Rs and Ds) are either in jail or headed in that direction. We have the largest, most expensive fulltime legislature in the country. YAHOO!! This cartoon isn't about education but about the weak legislators that can't be counted on to help improve our schools.
DOn't worry, my next cartoon will be on North Ikea… as soon as I figure out the politics of THEIR Congress.

Friday 11 March 2011, 12:50
It's a wet Friday morning at our studios in West London and it's my last day on series nine of Waking The Dead.
We have just delivered 10 hours of primetime drama to BBC One - the final ever series.
It's been a lightning five years since I started on series six and my mind turns to what I'll take away from the experience of working on a forensic crime drama.
For a start, I could probably kill someone 20 different ways now and have an above average chance of getting away with it. It's good for you to see the different ways your licence fee goes to work, I think.
Oh wait, I've just thought of a downside. With the amount of gruesome script research I've done on my BBC computer, I'm probably on every government, police and Ministry Of Defence watch list, so maybe not a good idea after all.
Danger lurks at every turn. This series we have a scene where a corpse has a distinctive imprint on its skull. Eve works out it's where the head hit a manhole cover after the victim was run over.
After researching this element of the story, I will certainly think twice before putting the word 'manhole' into Google again, I can tell you.
One of my abiding memories from my time on the show is the day we filmed a scene in a mansion that involved a naked decomposing prosthetic corpse suspended upside down from a first floor balustrade.
The victim's silicon skull had been filled with jam to encourage the maggots to stay put (maggots love jam, apparently - who knew?).
In addition, the fly and maggot wrangler (yes, it's a real job) released hundreds of blowflies as the camera manoeuvred its way through the hallway, avoiding the dead taxidermal dog lying on the floor.
It was at this point I was told the owners of the house were coming home early in the hope of meeting Trevor Eve.
Now, we are always completely upfront with potential location owners about our intentions. However, I wasn't convinced they'd be prepared for the harsh reality of the situation when they returned home.
So, as I stood by to welcome them back, the crew flew into action (like the last five minutes of an episode of Changing Rooms), using fly spray, vacuum cleaners and dustpans and brushes.
This was one occasion where we weren't able to say that "no animals (flies) have been harmed during the making of this film."
This last series of Waking The Dead certainly provides us with the opportunity to do something special, and hopefully surprising.
There are brief references to Mel Silver, Stella Goodman and Boyd's son Luke, not in a reverential way, but as a way of prompting audience memories.
Do you remember Boyd buying an enormous yellow model aeroplane in series five - Towers of Silence - when Grace's back was turned?
The plane has been knocking around the prop store for five years.
When we see Boyd's home for the first time this series, I suggested the yellow plane should be evident.
It's one of many small details for regular fans of the show. See if you spot it.
It's great working on such a highly regarded show. It's the producer's job to galvanize a film crew of 60 people.
I try to provide an environment where the writers and the crew feel empowered to create compelling stories with dark locations, great sets, stylish costumes, authentic looking corpses and atmospheric lighting set-ups.
My job has been made so much easier because the quality you see on your television screens, in turn, attracts high calibre actors and crew year after year.
Quite simply, quality stems from quality.
The decision was made to finish and it certainly feels that we're finishing on a high, having not outstayed our welcome. Would you agree?
Boyd is about to come up against the biggest challenge of his life this series. Will he prevail?
You can judge for yourselves if we've got it right. I hope you'll let me know as I'd be very interested to hear.
Colin Wratten is the producer of Waking The Dead.
Waking The Dead is on BBC One and BBC One HD at 9pm on Sunday, 13 March.

I am truly miserable when I think the Waking the Dead will be no more after this series. It has become compulsive, nay, obsessive viewing since the first episode. The cast is brilliant and the stories suitably gripping and sometimes gruesome but always believable. Will I get over it? I doubt it.....boo hoo
I am very much looking forward to the final series of Waking the Dead - as part of a small on-line community of borderline obsessive fans, I think I speak for all of us when I tell you how excited we are! :) I can't wait to discuss the new episodes when they air. Thank you, Colin, in advance for what looks to be a really gripping final series!
I have harbored a wish for a while now that Peter Boyd might run into Leo Dalton and the rest of the team from Silent Witness someday, all in the line of duty of course. The stunning potential of a joint storyline involving the writers, producers and characters of both shows could, in my opinion, have the potential of producing one of the greatest TV drama events in the history of British television, especially if the storyline spanned a complete series.
I'm completely gutted to hear that this is the last ever season. That being said, it does sound like it's going to go out with the proverbial "bang" and I for one can't wait till it happens. I will miss this show immensely, and although I'm not happy that it's ending, I'm happy that I've had the chance to watch such an amazing show from start to finish.
Back in the day I worked in telly (for 10 years and now am a trainee Media teacher!) and Waking the dead is one of me and my husband's favourite programmes ever ever ever! To see tonights episode, which was probably one of the best drama episodes I have ever watched, and learn its the last series has been a total kick in the tummy (would have put whack in the guts/kick in the balls! but this a beeb forum)-WHY WHY WHY WHY has it been cancelled? It has, without a doubt, the best best cast, fantastic story lines, unbelievably brilliant twists, .... we are sooo sad tonight I just don't understand how the bloody Beeb justify cancelling such an amazing series..... Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston are as good a actors and top calibre talent as the Beeb will ever get and we are amazed that the bleeding top execs refuse to take a minor paycut (perhaps?) to finance what will surely be the loss of a totally brilliant, much loved jewel in the Beebs crown and leave an absolutely gutted audience. Shame on you guys (upstairs) but thank you all the others who have made this our favourite ever programme and to really transform our Sunday nights and (for what is such a brief time) make worth watching again.... oh that is just so poo :( x
I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and can't wait for tomorrow.
I noticed a couple of things..
I wondered if the two older people.. the Geigers, were perhaps a nod to American Gothic? As soon as I saw them, my mind went straight there! Loved it.
But mainly, was there a small homage to David Lynch in there!? That shot with two elderly people gardening, bright red flowers in the back ground and a water hose spraying everywhere... Blue Velvet anyone!?
*shrug* I suppose I shall never find out, but it certainly added to the enjoyment!
Trough out the years Waking The Dead has made it mark on BBC for the show to end like this is sad on the ninth season of the show Trevor Eve has done a great job with Waking The Dead it is a pleasure for me to watching the show from the start and this final show and I watched every single show thank you to you the BBC for put this on tv and I wish Trevor Eve all the luck in the world because with Trevor Eve they will be no Waking The Dead and he done the well because I have watched dramas in the past but Waking The Dead and Trevor Eve is the best , I wish the rest of the cast good luck for the future I love Trevor Eve and his cast in the show you are the best so thank you all very much and finally you are breath taking to watch on TV.
I only became aware of this show about two years ago, since then I have seen every episode, some more than once. This is one of the smartest shows on TV, and as an American living in "TV wasteland", it was a welcome breath of fresh air, nothing was ever solved in 42 minutes on this show the way it is on US crime dramas. I loved the cranky, bitter and sad Peter Boyd (Trevor Eve), the dapper Spencer Michael Jordan (what a name) (Wil Johnston), Boyd's foil, the motherly Grace (Sue Johnston), and rounding out the cast Mel, Stella, Felix, Eve and Frankie.
I'm going to savor every episode of this final season, I pray it's as good as the last eight.
I've been an avid viewer of Waking the Dead since Series 3, and regard it as being one of only a small handful of truly high calibre television dramas on our screens today: brilliantly written, superbly acted (particularly by Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston), visually top-notch. As an undergraduate student hoping to make a career for myself in television production, Waking the Dead is a show I consider to be a masterclass in quality, and as such I'm currently building my DVD collection of each series (up to series 3- will be buying 4 and 5 with the next student loan!). I'm genuinely saddened that it's time is coming to an end, and wish to congratulate all cast and crew on what has been, for me, one of the most valuable and enjoyable television dramas I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Great to see the series return, but get the detail right please. Peacehaven has never been in West Sussex (topic of e-chatter around here since that error was noticed last night) -- it's EAST Sussex. And was the uniform right for Sussex Police?
Love the show - shame it's the last series. But I couldn't take my eyes off Sue Johnston's face. I don't know how much work she's had done on her face but she now looks like she's got cotton wool stuffed in her cheeks, and upper lip. Every time she talks she sounds like she's got a mouth full of doughnuts! Sorry Sue, love you as an actor, but please don't ruin your naturally beautiful features with cosmetic surgery eh...
Sloppy BBC I expected more from you... Peacehaven is not in West Sussex it is East Sussex.
I have never posted on anything like this before - but have watched Waking the Dead for many years. I have to say that I was disgusted to see Munchausen by Proxy being used as a factual condition in the story line. Professor Meadows - who 'discovered' this condition has had his work totally discredited by the GMC but has clawed his way back in on a technicality. Several women were falsely imprisoned only to be later released and exonerated of murder, many people had their children taken away from them only to have the Judges involved subsequently retire early 'to spend more time in their gardens' etc. A little more research and consideration for those who have been falsely accused would not go amiss. Parents lives have been totally ruined by false accusations - many of the children have grown up traumatised or worse.
An announcement at the beginning of the next programme is called for stating that Munchausen by Proxy is a medically discredited condition.
Did anyone else notice the mistake made in this weeks episode of waking the dead? When the characters referred to Peacehaven they said it was in West Sussex. I would like to point out that Peacehaven is in EAST Sussex. Surely the writers could at least get these sort of details right.. I ignored the fact that when they chased the criminal from a house in Peacehaven across some sort of lake or water course.. (We don't have anything like that in Peacehaven) and used poetic liecence to show a nice little bungerlow in a leafy street.. (we don't have leafy streets either) but getting the County wrong.. tut tut!!
Stylishly rubbish. I'm surprised that actors of such calibre can bear to perform such warped material that has the potential to dangerously mislead the public.
I absolutely loved 'Harbinger' - the darkly intense twists and turns were vintage Waking the Dead; the way we as viewers were led in one direction in the first part, only to have everything catapult in a different one in the second part was brilliant. My only criticism (and, without having seen the rest of the series yet, may be premature) is the apparent lack of continuity from series 8 - I'd love to know what happened to Linda Cummings and, more importantly, what happened in respect of Grace's cancer/recovery. That, and I would absolutely love to have seen more Boyd/Grace interaction as that, for me, is what makes the show so utterly addictive. However, all that aside, I thought this episode was a phenomenal start to the series and it just compounds the pain for me that this wonderful show will soon be over!
East Sussex - West Sussex: Waking the Dead is a fictional TV programme - does it really matter? When it was filmed in Newcastle it was also full of inaccuracies but does it matter???
I will miss this fantastic show, it's such a shame they have to finish it it's one of the few good shows on the BBC
Why is this series being cancelled? US series seem to run for season after season, but this very good drama is coming to an end too soon. Why?
just watched for 1st time and little impressed after no tv for 16 years-however watch the killing, on i player; danish thrller if not already-18 episodes as i type - as its amazing- u will decide ;-]

|Close-up showing dual shofarot matching curvature of menorah.
The mosaic at the Samaritan synagogue at el-Khirbe has a graphically interesting device of a pair of shofarot matching the curving arms of the menorah.
The curve is echoed in the drawn curtains of the ark.
The paired shofarot and menorah is worth emulating in a modern Hanukah menorah.
What are the bands around the horns?

I hope that everyone is about ready for Christmas. As is it almost here. Our shopping is done, and most of the presents have been wrapped. I will be doing a lot of baking and making the traditional fudge, cookies, and candies that everyone expects to see, over the next few days. It takes me a lot longer to do these things now than it used to because of the back problems that I have.
I'm so surprised at the response that I have received on my work! I'm so happy that someone other than myself and my family actually likes it. And to all of the people that take the time to say 'Thank you' or leave a few comments here, at 4shared, or to the right in my chatbox, you all are fantastic, you know who you are! You are greatly appreciated, as I love to read your comments, they inspire me to create and share more. I don't sell any of my work, but do share it freely with you all here.
I'm back today with some new Christmas wordart to share with you,
(four of them).
I hope someone can find a use for them. And remember if you want to share your LO (layout) with me, using any of my work, I'd love to see them.
The drop shadows are on the previews only.
Previews are shown smaller than actual size.
All are in PNG format, so they can be used in all programs.

One of my favorite events at CES is Steven J. Leon's Showstoppers. Tech companies large and small rent a 6-foot booth space for 4 hours so they can convince reporters and bloggers (this is a press event) how cool they are in hopes of getting coverage.
Because I'm here to study how companies market themselves, I like to look at how good they are in their signage. With 100+ companies in a large ballroom, I'm not going to listen to everybody's elevator pitch. It's amazing how many just put up a sign with their name, giving no clue what they do. Others have slogans or graphics that are edgy or plays on words but, again, give no clue what the product or service is.
I'd like to do a marketing makeover of some of these guys, similar to the lightening rounds I used to do with Carol Worthington Levy at DMA events. Someone would bring up their catalog or mail pack or ad and we'll have to fire off quick ideas to make it better. Some of our ideas were better than others, but it's amazing how many obvious improvements are hiding in plain sight.
One company that could use a makeover is YurBuds, with its "earbuds that won't fall out." Please, don't make them look like implants. Don't make them red like blood. Don't make the cords look like blood dripping from your ears. Change those things and your product will be less creepy and sell better.
Another candidate is EmPower (note unhelpful jargony name), a company that makes eyeglasses with built in electronics in the earpiece that changes them from reading glasses to distance glasses at the touch of a finger. Invisible bifocal glasses that do this cost hundreds; these are $12 and available already at 1200 opticians. Nice story… but they miss the boat with a marketing display that features the fact they are glasses. Yes, we know that. It is the hidden electronics that makes them different. To demonstrate that, show them as anything BUT glasses.
The only truly new product I saw was from Kogeto: a camera that attaches to your iPhone and will take a panoramic photo which you can then upload to Facebook or a similar app; the viewer uses a slider to move the image around. It was so cool that, true story, I did not even notice it was my pal Nicole Messier doing the demo. Their signage could use some work however.
