Power Optix by PowerOptix
Used the initial designs as a springboard for this new version. At the very least is definately looks a lot more interesting than the previous version.
Got some feedback re Power Optix's design along the lines of repeating forms to create unity.
Not sure this exactly subtle. And I tried to keep simple vs complex in mind.I just some diamond shapes on her clothes in places and played around with creating a repeat connection with her shin guards and coat.
I think the diamond pattern on the scarf was a welcome addition since it looked plain otherwise but I think I may need to experiment further.
TFoM: Princess Corianna by PowerOptix
Princess Corianna, one of four main characters in the The Flames of Malus.
Loosely based on a short eared owl (my all time favourite). I also toyed with the idea of making her not quite an owl but ultimate decided that she looked better more owly, hence the choice of brown over blue.
She has a typical "Princess outfit" and one she slips on when she wants to step out. It was intended to keep a certain elegance to it and to reflect her more adventurous side.
Deaky by RoxyMcSocks
Now in colour.
Redesigning Deaky. This is a character that has been around since 2001 or thereabouts. She started out life as the ghost of a Fakemon that was basically a purple dragon version of Charmander. Ironically enough the Fakemon had wings which she lost and has now subsequently regained.
At one point she gained a bow for reasons I don't quite remember but I've never drawn her without it since.
Concept art of Ms Cadence Furo.
Concept art of Alfred Mactans.
This is a complete overhaul of his earlier appearance.
Finalised version of Sydelle.

Compare your reading speed to the national average.
How fast do you read then, Ducky? I was 660, which was a little disappointing. Not even half the speed of a speed reader.
Elsie Knocker (and how great is that name) and her bff Mairie Chisholm. Even before WWI, they were kind of badass. Their hobbies included stripping down and racing motorcycles in a culture where women driving was seen as scandelous. When the war began, they signed up for the Belgian Flying Ambulance Corps (because flying ambulances!). When they got fed up with all the waste of life, they said to hell with the military and set up their own damn aid station, only 100 yards from the trenches. They were affiliated with no one and had to scrounge their own supplies. For years. They saved thousands of lives and only stopped when forced to due to injuries suffered in a gas attack.
Yo, WW2? Elsie and Mairie called. What's all this rot about the "greatest' generation? (That's right! I just did a women in war sacrifice throw down.)

'Round Midnight, a film inspired by the lives of Bud Powell and Lester Young, is director Bertrand Tavernier's audio-visual lament for the impending death of jazz. Tavernier utilizes a roving camera and be-bop editing to tell this story of the relationship between a self-destructive, emotionally-disintegrating but technically-brilliant jazz legend (Dexter Gordon) living and working in exile in France, and his fawning Gaullic admirer (Francois Cluzet). A subtle chauvinism underlies the story, as America is the land that devours its genius, while France succors it. The startlingly authentic performance of real-life tenor-sax legend and non-actor Dexter Gordon in the lead role is a stroke of genius. His raspy staccato delivery captures the world-weariness of his character perfectly, while he and fellow players' superb musicianship in the key performance passages adds an important element of authenticity and verisimilitude to the proceedings (all performances were filmed live, with no post-production dubbing). Herbie Hancock's Academy Award-winning musical helmsmanship layers the film with a moody melancholia, allowing it to tell its story with jazz riffs as much as words. The story is thinly-plotted, lyrical, and romantic, guided by the spirit of the art form it celebrates.

Bonds Seeks Another Extension To File Appeal Of Conviction

Sports Fan Insider
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds has been given an extension until May 4 to file written arguments in his appeal to overturn his obstruction of justice conviction.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday granted a second extension request by Bonds' lawyers, which had been filed Friday.
The original deadline had been March 21 before the court granted an extension last month to April 20.
Under the new schedule, the government will have until June 4 to respond. After that, Bonds' lawyers will have another 14 days to file a reply brief if they so choose.
Dennis Riordan, Bonds' appeals lawyer, said in a filing to the court that his office could not meet the April 20 deadline because of several other cases in which it was involved.
Bonds' appeal will be randomly assigned to a three-judge panel that will hear oral arguments this year. A decision is not likely until 2013 at the earliest.
The home run king was sentenced Dec. 16 by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston for his April conviction on a charge of giving an evasive answer to a federal grand jury in 2003 that was investigating steroids distribution.
The seven-time NL MVP was sentenced to 30 days of home confinement, two years of probation, 250 hours of community service in youth-related activities and a $4,000 fine.

Watching the Super Bowl should be as easy as grabbing your phone. The 2014 Super Bowl live stream really is that stress-free this year and thanks to FOX, you don't need to worry about picking up any viruses by watching an unsafe overseas live stream on your computer. According to PolicyMic on Thursday, the ease of loading an app on the cell phone or tablet seems almost too good to be true as the simplicity isn't like in the past.
All fans need to do is download the Fox Sports Go on the technology and then run and get your chips. This offering a full view of the big game, just like you were at MetLife Stadium watching it life and you can see every play.
The Super Bowl kickoff time is Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. and it would be advisable to load up the app early, just so you know it functions well on the cell phone and that there aren't any problems before the game.
Unfortunately, there is one tiny issue about the app that has to be mentioned. It won't be functional at the MetLife Stadium, so those folks watching the game live will need to focus their attention on the field instead of the tablet.
No longer will people ask where they can watch super Bowl XLVIII Stream live on the computer as this cool app offers it right on your cell phone. Of course, it's probably wise to download the app before the game starts otherwise you might miss a few of the plays.

Today's guests:
Steve Kelman — Professor of Public Management, Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government
It's not a big surprise but government employees express lower job satisfaction in the face of large budget cuts. But the amount of decline in job satisfaction can differ depending on what kind of changes are being made.
Steve Kelman, a professor of public management at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and former administrator at the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, has written about a new study of employees in the British national government.
Kelman says there are two types of changes that result from budget cuts.
Paul Wester — Director of Modern Records Program, National Archives and Records Administration
All of your agency's records, including emails, will need to be accessible in an electronic format by the end 2019, according to a new White House directive.
The National Archives and Records Administration will be helping with the transition that includes new technology, new job positions and a number of incremental milestones agencies must meet before the big deadline.
Paul Wester, the director of modern records programs at NARA, discusses his agency's role in the overhaul.

Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.)
Last week, President Barack Obama announced he'd use his authority to end the federal pay freeze. But not until Congress passes a budget.
Lawmakers have already reached a tentative agreement to fund the federal government under a continuing resolution for the first half of fiscal 2013, meaning the freeze would stay in place until next spring at the earliest.
Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) represents part of the D.C. suburbs, a district with a lot of federal employees. He tells In Depth the 6-month CR is all but a done deal.

Debra Draper — Director of Health Care Issues, Government Accountability Office
After a series of potential safety problems at medical facilities run by the Veterans Affairs Department, the Government Accountability Office has been asked to look into VA's processes for responding to "adverse events" — or medical mistakes.
There were some high-profile incidents that caught the attention of Congress. In 2010, for example, almost 2,000 veterans were notified that they might have been exposed to Hepatitis or HIV because of improperly sterilized equipment. But VA says a quality-improvement effort has led to a reduction in these adverse events. Debra Draper, a director of health care issues at GAO, discusses a recent report examining VA's effort.

it wont work for me. it just comes up as a little white square with a rd cross in it every time =[
and i copied and pasted all the links the site showed (one at a time of course) to see which one would work and none would =[
like it has down the bottom
Ladies if you are having trouble, you can paste the code you have copied into a reply here and i will show you what part of the code you need to delete before you add it to your profile.
Depending on which site you use, the codes can vary quite a bit and they come up with alot of extra details that are not necessary.
Generally you delete everything before the HTTP, and everything after the .png
However some codes are slightly different.
Reply here and paste your code up so I can see exactly what you have, and I'll show you how it should look when you add it to your sig. It is confusing at first, but dont worry, you'll soon get the hang of it
Hey there! yours is a little different cos you've got two pictures for each ticker... like mine. You need to add EACH picture as a different image. You'll notice you have both a .jpg and a .png link in each ticker, so you'll need to add 4 pictures in total.
Here goes!! Delete everything in red for each picture, and add the images without doing a new line between each pair. Between the two pairs of pictures, hit "enter" so there's a new line as you'll see below.
First image:
Yep that's right, in the code just find and copy the http upto the png and just delete the rest.
Do that for every picture or ticker etc you want to add.
Probably easier if you spot the png first and then scan your eyes backwards to the http part, and then copy and paste it.
Quite often, as you can see in the complete codes, it sometimes seems to repeat the http several times.
It takes a while to get used to, especially when the complete codes look like double dutch, but once you spot the section of code you need, it's easy.
Sure have! Make sure you're using the "insert/edit image" button to put the images in your signature or they won't show properly. It's the yellow button on the toolbar above the editor bx with a mountain and sun.
Apart from that, you've got the right bit of the URL there.
I don't think so, Cassy - just tried to embed it as flash in a message, and while I could see it in the preview it didn't display in the message itself.
Just tried again - if it shows just above this sentence then you might be able to use the following part of the code: http://babystrology.com/tickers/baby-ticker-glass.swf?parent=Cassy&year=2010&month=6&day=20&babycount=1
Use the blue circle button with the "f" on it to insert the flash.

Local News
Judge, sheriff candidates speak
By LOUIE BROGDON The Brunswick News More than 1,200 of the 7,500 backlogged civil or criminal cases pending in Glynn County State Court are more than five years old, and all five state court judge candidates know whoever wins the July 31 nonpartisan election has his work cut out for him. And the two men seeking to be Glynn County's next sheriff come from different sides of the law enforcement spectrum, but both claim to be the man for the job. The candidates met Thursday for a forum hosted by College of Coastal Georgia to field audience questions and share their views on the criminal justice system. Judicial candidates Grant Buckley, Bart Altman, Alan Tucker, Vince Sowerby and Wallace Harrell III shared ways to relieve the existing case backlog and effectively manage a caseload destined to increase once new judicial rules go into effect. Candidate Alan Tucker, the only candidate to indicate the court is currently not running properly, said his solution for relieving the backlog is simple. "What it's going to take is a judge who's willing to go work for 40 to 50 hours a week, five days a week, (hold) night court. That's the only way this court's going to deal with it's backlog," Tucker said. Candidates Harrell and Buckley said starting an out-of-court mediation program for civil cases would allow more criminal cases to be handled. All agreed non-traditional sentencing measures for drug and alcohol abuse are the best ways to address crime. "To solve the problem, you have to get to the root of it: Recidivism, that revolving door. As a judge, I believe it is my duty, if I get elected, to get to know each of those defendants - a little bit - get to know their situation and put them in a right direction to get help," candidate Sowerby said. State court judges have a unique opportunity to give young, first-time offenders a chance to straighten up, candidate Altman said. "There are some people you can give a hand or the hammer. With pretrial diversion, I'd rather give some of these first offenders, kids who just screwed up, a hand," he said. Sheriff candidates Neal Jump and Ron Corbett mainly answered questions about the differences in their backgrounds. Corbett, who is currently the undersheriff, has a background largely in jail administration. "I have a master's degree. Sometimes (in law enforcement) I feel like that's something I should be ashamed of. I'm not. I think we need someone in the sheriff's office who's educated and has administrative experience," Corbett said. Jump, who is the sheriff's major in charge of deputy operations, says he has plenty of management experience. "I have four more years (of administrative experience at the office) than Sheriff (Wayne) Bennett did when he was elected," Jump said. "I don't have a master's degree. I don't have higher education, but I have common sense, and I've been in law enforcement more than 35 years."

Bobcats Face Tough Opponents Out of The Gate

Against Quinnipiac Schimmel went 1-13 from the field and was 0-8 in the second half.

Brianah Ramos made her Quinnipiac debut on Sunday, Dec. 1. She scored two points in her first game in a Bobcats uniform.
The Schedule
If the Quinnipiac women's basketball team is going to return to the NCAA Tournament in 2014 it will have a solid building base to start from with a challenging schedule. Fabbri has announced a 30-game slate that features eight opponents who are coming off of an NCAA Tournament, WNIT or WBI bid last year – with the potential of seeing 10 teams that advanced to postseason play.
MAAC Championships
The 2014 MAAC Championships will be held Thursday, March 6 through Monday, March 10 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass.

Hey guys :)
I love Taylor Swift! She's given me a reason to not hate the number 13 and one day I want to meet her or at least see her live. One of my goals is to get my guitar signed by her (Like THAT'S ever going to happen :L). My birthday is the 26th of June so 26 and 6 are my lucky numbers. So is 13 now because it's half of 26 :L 96 Is also a lucky number for me. I don't know why, I can't associate any amazing things that have happened that have coincided with those numbers, but if anyone asks me I'll just say one of those numbers- it's mostly 26 though. Right now I'm 17 and have never felt younger in my life- now I have to start thinking about 'what I actually want to get out of life' and 'what to do in University' that will be 'worthwhile.'... Hopefully if I get the right grades I can take a Psychology course at Uni- but I have no idea what aspect of Psychology I want to study- I'm clueless! I've always wanted to be an actress but it'll be hard to get there so I'm going to get my education out of my way and at Uni I'll audition for as many things as possible if I have time- that's the thing too, Uni will take up SO much of my time so I need to make sure what I really do is 'worthwhile.'
Other than Taylor Swift I love animals and I have a cat called Sylvester.. amongst other pets (rabbits, snakes, lovebirds, budgies, canaries) ;). We also have this fox that comes into our garden with her cubs and we feed her ham! :L We've called her Foxy and she's so cute! Apart from Taylor Swift I'm pretty much obsessed with:
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Marina and the Diamonds
Jennifer Lawrence
Will Smith
Lana Del Rey
Eddie Murphy
Black Books (TV series)
Green Wing (TV series)
Desperate Housewives (so sad it's over :()
The Dark Knight
The Big Bang Theory
Disney and Pixar movies :3
The Hunger Games (Books, the film was ok)
The Shawshank Redemption
Mean Girls
Angus Thongs series (the books, the film was AWFUL)
The Time Traveller's Wife (book and film- they both make me want to cry :L)
The Taylor Swift Tour DVDs :D
I love Australia and can't wait to visit again sometime.
Stripes- I looked through my clothes the other day and most of them are stripy or they're hoodies :L
I cannot WAIT until I move out my house and have FREEDOM! I also have an obsession with Squirrels- idk why but I always have and when I was younger and saw a squirrel through the window I'd have to point it out to my friends or some poor person sat next to me, then I'd spend the rest of the lesson just watching the squirrels messing around outside instead of focusing in class! :L One time I was in RE and that was the lesson I always used to mess around in, and I looked out the window and saw a squirrel and I'm not even joking, I jumped so high in my chair, pointed at it and yelled "SQUIRREL!"- everyone jumped because it was a really quiet moment and my friend just burst out laughing and I thought.. Oh God my teacher is going to kill me- luckily she found it amusing and let it go that time :')
I also love talking to people on TC because it's nice to be able to talk about Taylor without looking weird- my school friends aren't really fans of her- only one of my friends is a Swiftie!
I HATE statues and mannequins- they freak me out and I always expect them to move or grab me when I walk past them XD I also used to 'love every single animal in the whole world' as I used to say when I was younger- then I went on holiday to Australia and came home traumatized about the stories I heard about the crocodiles! So I'm scared of crocodiles and alligators and anything that can lurk in the water and grab me and kill me XD Also I saw this gross video of what snake venom does when it gets into contact with blood and I want to stay away from snakes for as long as I live! (Apart from corn snakes which are practically harmless) :P
For my A Levels I'm studying Sociology, Psychology and Film Studies.
I hate sitting around too long which is why I love swimming, gymnastics, cycling, archery (no I didn't get into archery because of the Hunger Games :L), I love snorkeling as well!
I'm also obsessed with making lists of plans of what I'm going to do and I never follow them through because I can't be bothered to read them afterwards or I forget I even wrote them. I play flute and guitar and I've sort of taught myself how to play piano a bit- I print off the sheet music and take ages working out what the notes are, then I take forever working out the hand positions but I've taught myself a few things :) I started playing guitar in Y7 and when I was in y8 I found out about Taylor (Back in the good old days of Bebo..;) and I saw Fearless Platinum being advertised- I only bothered checking her music out because I thought she looked like an actress from one of the soaps I used to watch :L) and she just made me more determined to play- so I bought all her guitar books :D When Red came out last year I was watching out for the release of the Red guitar book for so long, I was so excited :L But my guitar teacher has quit teaching because the exam board was annoying her or something so I'm just playing in my free time now- it's sort of better that way, it's less stressful not going to guitar lessons and it's giving me time to focus on my A Levels. :)
I love 6th form (ish) because I've met so many cool people and I actually have a social life out of school now :L Which is good. If things/people annoy or try to upset me I try to ignore them, but if things/people don't let things go I'll know how to stick up for myself and don't let people walk all over me, but if I can help it I'll avoid an argument or I'll turn it into a joke because if I do that then things/people tend to get bored and drop it ;)
Summer is my favorite season because everyone is so much happier and school is more bearable when it's hot and sunny. Apparently it's meant to be summer now,but so far we've only had a few hot summer days because it's the UK where more often than not it will be raining. I've just looked out of my window and once again, it is raining in that exotic country that we call England. Actually there was this cool time it started storming when me and my friend were outside so instead of going inside we just went hyper and crazy- it was one of the best times of my life because it went on for hours and even though it was storming but it was really warm at the same time, and it was before anything like GCSEs and A Levels so I wasn't stressed about exams or anything :) And now, we are teenagers and we stay in while it rains and paint our nails or eat junk food. And listen to Taylor Swift!!
My favorite Taylor Swift songs are:
(I'll go down the list alphabetically because that's how they come up on my phone :L)
22, All Too Well, Better Than Revenge, Back To December -Speak Now Tour Version, Bette Davis Eyes, Breathe (both versions), Change, Come In With The Rain, Dark Blue Tennessee, Drops Of Jupiter, Enchanted, Eyes Open, Fearless, Forever And Always (both versions), Haunted (both versions), Hey Stephen, Holy Ground, I Knew You Were Trouble, I'd Lie, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, Invisible, Jump Then Fall, Last Kiss, Long Live, Mary's Song, Mine, Never Grow Up, Our Song, Ours, Permanent Marker, Picture To Burn (both versions), Red (both versions), Ronan, Run (George Strait Cover), Sad Beautiful Tragic, Safe And Sound, Should've Said No, Speak Now, Starlight, State Of Grace (both versions), Stay Beautiful, Stay Stay Stay, Superman, Superstar, The Best Day, The Last Time, The Lucky One, The Other Side Of The Door, The Outside, The Way I Loved You, This Is Really Happening, Tied Together With A Smile, Tim McGraw, Treacherous (both versions), Untouchable, We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together, We Were Happy, What Do You Say, White Horse, You Belong With Me, You're Not Sorry. That went on longer than I thought :P
I now have an obsession with ankle boots and Keds because I have realized they are the comfiest shoes ever, omg, omg, omg, oh Lord! :L I buy waaaay too many clothes and need a job! I HATE horror movies but I watch them anyway and regret it afterwards. I hate spiders, crocodiles and freaky fish that have big teeth and eyes. I also really hate seeing people criticize Taylor!
Wow, got a bit carried away there but never mind! I'm also really good at finding things to do instead of revising for my A Levels ;) I also use this face too much: :L
Thanks for reading guys!

Yeah pretty much! its really sucks!!! Oh my swift! XD i'd love to just meet them!!! hahaha yeah sounds like my mom and dad!! XD WOAH THAT HAS TO BE SO EMBARRASSING! Sounds like something I'd do! only my mom wouldn't take pictures! she'd spank me XD
I wish I had a prom I'm stinking home-schooled and its so stupid. -_-
Yeah my friends told me their proms were horrible but I still want one!!
Haha that's hilarious! in all honesty there are ZERO cute boys over here! ZEEEERRROOO!!! XD Maybe one here and there but for the most part the boys over here suck. -___- I go after famous dudes XD like Niall horan and Harry Styles! I'm 100% wasting my time on it. LOL
I need to watch it!!! And its okay! I understand! :) Yeah she's not to great at an american accent but exactly I love her!! <3
I loved her VMA DRESS TO!!! AND YESS!!! Seriously!! she totally didn't drop the F bomb! XD Oh that sucks.. My bestfriend has a possesive boyfriend! I HATE HIM! He calls her ugly, verbally abuses her but apparently she's ''in love'' with him! and she's already sleeping with him! like honestly she can do better! SO much better! -_- And yeah I totally know what you mean! I hate guys that use girls! its pathetic..
Yeah I love Niall! he's so gorgeous to me! just perfection! and he's sweet and sensitive and he's so adorable and nice and lady friendly and he respects woman and oms I just want to marry him XD
Hahaha!!! that's how I felt the first time I watched their interviews!! XD I *hated them* I hated them SO MUCH I literally burned every poster I could find of them in my magazines in the fire place.. Now, I want to go back and BEAT myself for being such an idiot XD
Aw well actually the real Niall would still fancy you! haha HE LIKES PERSONALITY! XD Haha I love One Directions music! :")
NOPE! I live in America but I wont be able to see her live. My mom doesn't like going to concerts, and my dad wont take us -_- sad.. I've never been to a concert!
No I know you're not ignoring me I know that!! haha :D
and ahaha XD okay!
No I've never watched it! is it funny!? XD have you watched ''how to lose a guy in 30 days'' ?? I THINK that's what its called.. its HYSTERICAL XD
Yeah my life is pretty tough! and I ask myself everyday if I ever truly did something to deserve this, and honestly I never have. I was a brat when I was like 10, but who doesn't have temper tantrums? I mean I wasn't like the child from hell or anything..
And thank you! I can't wait. Like, when I was 12 I was like ''7 more years and I'm out.'' now I'm 15 and its like. ''3 more years and I'm out'' and yeah so Its getting close! :)
Your Brittish??!!!! seriously.. that. is. amazing. Okay so wow.. ahah!! that's SO funny about your mom and her mom! oms that would be nice to see your own mom getting scolded by her mom! That would be priceless!!
OMS Okay when I get Taylor I wont go on a long hot car journey! oms funniest story ever I swear to God! thanks for the advice! XD ooh I haven't been on an air place since I was 3 1/2 and I still remember EVERY LITTLE DETAIL very vividly! I think I have one of those super memories or something? XD
I haven't seen either one! what are they about? I might watch em a lot of people have been really recommending both! :)
really I never cry at movies either but I cried with the hunger games XD
PROM! Lucky! I'm home schooled so I'll never get a prom! :(
oh well.. ahaha I hope he DOES notice you and I hope it goes good!
I liked the VMA'S.. One Direction was on there and Niall James Horan is literally my everything he's my baby. I literally watched 4 hours worth of Niall hip thrusting and what not on you tube today XD in one sitting.. I'm obsessed I swear I'm a nut 0_0
Yeah, I'm pretty certain that she'll be returning to Europe next year!! Oh okay, that'll be good! I always have to catch the plane or train to go see Taylor in concert, so it's really expensive! :/ I don't go to school anymore, I finished last year :D the VMAs were alright, I only watch it because of Taylor so I wasn't really that interested in anyone else at all. You?
Dear lord.. well actually resetting everything does clear any virus that may be attacking your computer, soo your dad wasn't wrong!! xD but I see it being annoying! I had all of my selena gomez albums on my computer and my mom reset EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING got Deleted!! I had like 4,000 Taylor pictures on there!! *literally*
Atleast your dad knows how to do something on a computer.. I have to help my dad move the freaking mouse!! (hes a bit old school seeing he's 63) Okay let me explain why he's so old and my mom's so young.. (my moms 41)
Well, my mom had me in Salt Lake City Utah and the dude that actually did the nasty with my mom to make me was very abusive, drugged up and crazy. He'd throw things over my crib, and he was awful! well considering we left when I was 1 1/2 and I still very visually remember everything (and my moms confirmed that I do remember correctly) he must have been pretty bad! so we moved over here to AL.. and my mom found my dad now, and yeah.. they lived happily ever after the end!! LOL.. Anyway though, this dad is really rude with words and I feel verbally abused sometimes, (okay a lot of times) but I guess he's better then the original dude that pushed and shoved my mom.. so.. you know!! haha :D
well have fun on your vacation!! I'll be at home being all bored.. and stuff.. xD
....seriously??... you got taylor? KILL ME! ALL OF MY FRIENDS LITERALLY HAVE TAYLOR'S NEW FRAGRANCE BUT ME!! WOW!! YOUR SO LUCKY!! I hear it smells really fruity ;)
No I'm not going on holiday.. well... kind of yes! I'll be on a mountain camping in a cabin in November! :) Its really cool!! like.. AHHH! FANGIRLING THINKING ABOUT IT... Anyway, okay here's the deal, we have a lot of animals so we can't go on vacations that much and the only vacation I remember clearly is when I went to see my great grandpa in Michigan before he died, and Tennessee! tennessee was AMAZING.. I touched stingrays, deer, rain-deer and I got to touch Zonkeys!! (zebra and donkeys mixed together.. which I dont think people should cross breed but it was cool)
Anyway though the mountain is one hour away from my house, and the mountain.. I love it so much because we stay up there two days and guess what?? the whole mountain ALWAYS reminds me of Taylor so much that's one of my favorite things! because we go up in fall, (and fall also reminds me of Taylor like ahh!) but we recently started listening to Taylor when we go up to the mountain, so we listened to RED last time we went..
the whole ride over there, and the whole ride back.. and my sister and I listen to RED in our cabin room! BTW the cabin is huge.. and it cost like 200 a night.. so.. umm.. yeah we're broke.. and.. that's a BIG splurge!! haha :D

Big D calling out LOTF?!
Shit just got real
LOL *Troll Face*
Haha I like to pop out here and there. I really miss the MK scene man wish I could've kept up and attended Evo again. I had to retire MK9 but you bet I'll be back for MK10. They keep me mostly busy over here in Korea but I've been good man. After having read through and seeing how dead it is I feel I can throw in my 2 cents and a little back story while I'm at it since there's nothing to do at work right now. For some worthless entertainment:
Most people don't even know who I am, but when MK9 came out I began playing professionally and competed every week in WNF in Southern California which was usually streamed. I would usually jump around with characters and up to this day I never had an official main. However, I managed to make top 16 at Evo 2011 with Nightwolf and had studied the character well for over a month before unleashing him at Evo. Sadly, none of my better matches were recorded or streamed. He was sort of my "secret weapon." The way I saw it, at the time of Evo no one had really explored this character. I wanted to put him on the map. I did some research and found out that most people saw nightwolf as this sort of rushdown in your face character. After some practice, I realized that once you figure out his strings, he's not much of a threat up close. To me he felt more of a punishing character. That's why if you have watched any of my matches, at first I would abuse his shoulder and stick to F3,1,2 or F3,B4 strings for as long as they worked. I didn't want his strings and pressure to be figured out too soon. He had all the tools needed to just stay back and wait for a mistake, and that's what I based my whole strategy around. I think this is the main reason I made it as far as I did. People expected me to hunt them down but when I stayed back and waited they did not know what to do. Once their patience was broken I would do my thing. It only worked for so long though. Once an opponent knows his strings, he's mostly fucked. What I do like though is the challenge behind using him and that it takes a lot of patience and very fast reactions to really be able to keep up with your opponents. The way the game has evolved though, it has really left nightwolf far behind. The main problem I see with him today, is that everyone has figured him out. Add to that the fact that all the characters that give him the most trouble are some of the most used characters in the game. Kabal, Johnny cage, and KITANA were always my worst enemies. People just have really lost interest in this character that was never too popular in the first place. My only regret is not having used the Evo placing and experience to have helped Lord spread the word about nightwolf a little more but I was forced to retire after. I'm still very proud of everything he's done for the character and having watched Big D play him really shows nightwolf still has potential, but the nightwolf community will always remain small.
It brings a tear to my eye. The night Wolf community has a special bond. there are so few of us that the ones that stick around get along very well.
I love u guys
it is not my intention to necro a dead topic but i've been re-reading old posts and this post in particular made me wonna post. I was feeling nostalgic.
Back in the days of 11 and 12, when mk was new, we here, in Georgia (not usa), on the other side of the world would gather up to watch evos and final rounds and what not. Wolf was always my favorite so i always cheered for fly and big-d. There literally is no community in my country, it was just few players playing locally at saturdays and sundays. oh god, i remember the day when big-d showed up at final round, i was like watching it live stream, and he just bodied cd jr, i was never so happy i think lol.
Come to think of it, i've been visiting Nigthwolfs board from time to time since 2011. Though i've never posted or anything, i was just watching, reading, lurking in the shadows.
maan it feels so long ! No, it is so long! I studied at college at that time. You could say that i basically grew up watching old nightwolf folks play, like fly, big-d, gamer blake and alike.
Mk has seen a Renaissance in Eastern world since its release on PC, and community keeps growing. But still, there are just too few wolfs out there. I clearly see no point in playing one of the most weak characters in the game, but since im masochist who loves that char and never abandons him... we suit each other up, i guess.
LOL I came up with something this witty 2 years ago? Feeling myself
I'm really glad to hear this. Thanks man.
That one handed choke though.
Glad to see some activity here. Believe it or not, I actually got an Xbox Live subscription for the first time ever, and my buddy is getting his first copy of MK. So we have a date on Thursday to hop online and battle! I'm definitely going to main NW and throw some EX Shoulders his way. Came on here to refresh myself on the secret weapons and was pleasantly surprised to see some new posts! Ancestors give us strength!

After Roy senior pitcher Jamie Aiken quickly retired the first two batters in the top of the seventh inning, Salem Hills' senior lead-off hitter Jerika Durfey sent a sinking line drive into shallow right field.
The Royals' sophomore right fielder Brittnee Higgs darted toward the ball, laid out and snagged it to give Roy a 5-2 win in the 4A state championship game.
"I was hoping the ball would come to me," Higgs said. "I thought I might not have a chance to get to it, but since it was the last out, I wanted to go all out."
That catch gave Roy its second straight state championship. The Royals were expected to win it all last year with pitcher MaCauley Flint at the helm. This year, though, Roy surprised everyone.
"Last year, if we wouldn't have won it all, it would have been a major disappointment," Roy coach Mandy Koford said. "What made this one so sweet and so fun is that we weren't expected to do it."
Koford's club won the title last season with dominant pitching. This time around, the Royals relied on the long ball. In Thursday's championship game, it was senior third baseman Bryce Mitchell who delivered the big blow for Roy.
Mitchell got her chance to shine in the bottom of the third inning. With runners on second and third, Mitchell blasted a high fastball so far over the fence in left-center that the Salem Hills outfielders didn't even give chase — they just watched. The three-run homer gave Roy a 4-2 lead.
Junior shortstop Jordynn Barrera doubled down the left field line later in the inning to make it 5-2, and that three-run cushion was plenty for Aiken, who did not allow a run in the final five innings of the game. Aiken finished with a record of 18-2 in her senior season.
"For us seniors, we really wanted to leave a legacy on the field, and be legends of softball," Aiken said.
At least in the halls of Roy High School, they did so.
Storylines Second-time success
R Roy won its second straight state title by knocking off Salem Hills 5-2 in the 4A state championship game.
• Senior third baseman Bryce Mitchell belted a three-run home run for Roy.
• Roy junior shortstop Jordynn Barrera had two doubles and an RBI for the Royals.

There are at least two
dozen varieties and colors of indoor flowering pot mum plants available at your local garden
center or floral shop. The
pictured Mum plant is called "Copper Piano".
Most Chrysanthemums these days are purchased as
a disposable indoor flowering house plant. Enjoy the beautiful flowers
during the four to six week period that they are flowering, then replace
them with a new flowering plant. Don't bother to plant the spent
Mums in the yard because they won't grow back next year, they'll
freeze over the winter. The Mums you see growing outdoors are an
entirely different kind of Chrysanthemum called winter hardy fall
Indoor pot Mums can be substantial water
drinkers... check for watering 3 to 4 times per week. Do not allow
the pot to sit in water for more than one day, or display in direct sunshine. There is
no need to fertilize the Mum plant while it is flowering.
When shopping
for mums... be sure to find out if the plant was Colorado Grown.
Mums produced in our state will last longer than the mums found at the
supermarket that have been shipped in from out of state.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered these thank you cards, they arrived in no time. Can't wait to send these out!! I will definitely order more soon!!"
"Wow, wow, wow. I really just couldn't say enough nice things about the thank you cards. We had them personal used with our/my new last name instead of two first names like the example. We were both very happy with the results. I wanted to make sure we had a stack of thank you cards that matched our wedding stationery in advance of the wedding. Now we can get started with our "thank yous" right away after the big day....or at least right after the honeymoon."
"This is my second order with Wedding Paper Diva's and I couldn't be happier with these Thank You's. I had the font colours changed to gray, as I am trying to keep the colours/themes consistent through all of the events leading up to the wedding. They did a fabulous job!! The only things that I would change are: 1. Paper colour - it was way too white and too much of a contrast to the outside, however, I don't know that any of my guests will notice this. 2. I would love to have the option of Pearl Shimmer paper since I think it adds a really chic feel to the invitations and gives it that WOW factor. I didn't knock stars off for either since they are just suggestions and they came in true to the website - I wasn't misled at all. Also, Wedding Paper Diva's gets these shipped to you so quickly it's unbelievable - both times I have ordered from them I have received the product 3 days after I approved the changes. Happy Wedding Planning!"
"I ordered these thank you cards in purple with white and lavendar lettering on the regular card stock. They were gorgeous and I received so many compliments on them. I used these for my shower and they were so nice that I kind of wish I had saved them for the wedding thank yous!"
"I enjoyed being able to add my own text and make this say thank you! from the future Mr. and Mrs. The paper is a great texture and the printing is perfect! Very cute but also elegant!"
