Okaloosa County Dealing in Stolen Property Attorney
Whenever we have a client charged with a felony offense in Okaloosa County, we know it is a very serious matter. Dealing in Stolen Property cases are prosecuted aggressively by the State Attorney's Office, so it is important that you have legal counsel on your side who will fight back just as hard.
Flaherty Defense Firm has been defending clients accused of Dealing in Stolen Property in Okaloosa County for over 16 years. We can help you through this, but the first step is up to you. Pick up the phone and call us, 24 hours a day, at (850) 243-6097 and schedule a free consultation. When we meet, we will be glad to discuss your case with you free of charge. We will outline the elements of the offense, explain what defenses are available, and give you a realistic assessment of what we think the likely outcome will be.
Dealing in Stolen Property under Florida Law
Florida Statute 812.019 defines Dealing in Stolen Property as someone who traffics in stolen property who knew or should have known that the property was stolen.
What is the possible penalty for Dealing in Stolen Property?
Before discussing possible penalties, it is important to understand that you will only face a penalty if you are convicted by a judge or jury. That means that right now, before you have been convicted, there is still a chance to affect the outcome. There is still the opportunity to force a better result in the long run.
If you are convicted, Dealing in Stolen Property is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000.00 fine. Because this charge is a second degree felony, it also requires a mandatory designation as a convicted felon unless the Judge makes an exception and explains their reasoning on the record.
If there is evidence that the criminal act was connected to a criminal plan or scheme, the prosecutor has the option to file an enhancement against you that elevates the charge to a first degree felony. If that happens, the maximum sentence is 30 years in prison.
What defenses are there to Dealing in Stolen Property?
Referring back to the statute's definition of Dealing in Stolen Property, the State will be required to prove that you knew or should have known that the property in question was stolen.
In many cases, this is a valid defense. If you are accused of pawning something that you didn't know was stolen, you can raise that as a defense. An example of this would be a situation where a friend gives you a video game system and asks you to pawn it for cash. If you didn't know that your friend had stolen that video game system, you have a defense to the charge.
However, remember that the statute says "knew or should have known." This means that if the evidence suggests that you did know the item was stolen, or the circumstances made it obvious that the item was stolen, the State will be able to successfully argue that you should have known the property was stolen. Then, the burden of proof shifts to you to prove that you didn't know.
When we meet to talk about your case, we will go over any other defenses that might apply to the specific circumstances of your case.
Do I need an attorney for a Dealing in Stolen Property charge?
Absolutely yes. You are facing a possible prison sentence. An attorney can help you fight the charge, mitigate the potential penalty, and give you the best possible chance of avoiding jail time and a permanent felony conviction on your record.
At Flaherty Defense Firm, we have been building our reputation right here in Okaloosa County for over 16 years. We know what moves to make to maximize your chances of a successful outcome.

Saint George is the patron saint of sufferers from leprosy, as well as plague and syphilis.
London's St James's Park was a swampy wasteland in the early 16th century, used as a hospital for female lepers.
His smile explained everything: he carried it always with him as a leper carried his bell; it was a perpetual warning that he was not to be trusted.
Lepers were forced to live separately for centuries – but for religious reasons, not medical ones. In Europe, they were legally forbidden to marry, make a will or appear in court - and were only allowed to talk to a non-leper if they stood downwind. In the Old Testament, God himself instructs Moses to 'put out of the camp every leper'. This was because leprosy was regarded as a punishment rather than an infectious disease: it was an outer 'uncleanness' caused by inner sin, something that God would smite you with if you harboured lustful or heretical thoughts. It was the priest, not the doctor, who declared you a leper.
Until the mid-14th century the bells and rattles carried by lepers were intended to attract donations rather than warn people off, especially if the leper had lost his voice and couldn't shout like other beggars. At the time there was little fear of lepers and we know that they were enthusiastic ringers of their bells because there were local laws which specifically forbade them from doing so.
There was a change of attitude to disease around the time of the Black Death, and sick people became objects of fear; after that time, lepers were indeed made to carry bells as a warning. In late medieval times it was thought that leprosy could be spread by the glance of a leper, or an unseen leper standing upwind of you.
Leprosy is now called Hansen's disease and since the 1940s has been treatable with antibiotics. It was never as infectious as people believed; the infection seems to be spread in respiratory droplets, but the transmission rate is very low and most people (90%) seem to be naturally immune. You need prolonged contact to become infected – in 1984, Pope John Paul II kissed a number of lepers in a South Korean leper colony to demonstrate this.
Contrary to popular belief, Hansen's disease does not cause rotting of the flesh, although extremities may become numb due to nerve damage and this may lead to minor infected wounds going unnoticed until permanent damage has occurred.
Other than humans, the only animals known to be susceptible to leprosy are armadillos. It can also be induced in laboratory rodents.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Men are twice as likely to contract leprosy as women.
The word leper derives for the Greek word for scale.
Scientists believe that humans transmitted leprosy to armadillos about 400 to 500 years ago.

Glossary of Energy Terms
GLOSSARY OF ENERGY TERMS A and B
- California Energy Commission http://www.energy.ca.gov/glossary/glossary-a.html
- U.S. Energy Information Administration http://126.96.36.199/tools/glossary/index.cfm?id=A
Acid Rain – Also called acid precipitation or acid deposition, acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids formed primarily by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. It can be wet precipitation (rain, snow, or fog) or dry precipitation (absorbed gaseous and particulate matter, aerosol particles or dust). Acid rain has a pH below 5.6. Normal rain has a pH of about 5.6, which is slightly acidic. The term pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity and ranges from 0 to 14. A pH measurement of 7 is regarded as neutral. Measurements below 7 indicate increased acidity, while those above indicate increased alkalinity.
Air Conditioning – An assembly of equipment for air treatment consisting of a means for ventilation, air circulation, air cleaning, and heat transfer (either heating or cooling). The unit usually consists of an evaporator or cooling coil, and an electrically-driven compressor and condenser combination.
Alcohol (fuel) – A class of carbon-based liquid chemicals that have a certain combinations of hydrogen and oxygen called an alcohol group and that are capable of being used as fuel. Ethanol is one example.
Alternating Current (AC) – Flow of electricity that constantly changes direction between positive and negative sides. Almost all power produced by electric utilities in the United States moves in current that shifts direction at a rate of 60 times per second.
Alternative Fuels – as defined by the National Energy Policy Act the fuels are: methanol, denatured ethanol and other alcohols, separately or in mixtures of 85 percent by volume or more (or other percentage not less than 70 percent as determined by U.S. Department of Energy rule) with gasoline or other fuels; CNG; LNG; LPG; hydrogen; "coal-derived liquid fuels;" fuels "other than alcohols" derived from "biological materials;" electricity, or any other fuel determined to be "substantially not petroleum" and yielding "substantial energy security benefits and substantial environmental benefits."
Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) – motor vehicles that run on fuels other than petroleum-based fuels. As defined by the National Energy Policy Act (EPAct), this excludes reformulated gasoline as an alternative fuel.
Amp / Ampere – The unit of measure that tells how much electricity flows through a conductor. It is like using cubic feet per second to measure the flow of water. For example, a 1,200 watt, 120-volt hair dryer pulls 10 amperes of electric current (watts divided by volts).
American Recover and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) – U.S. Congress passed this legislation on February 13, 2009, at the urging of President Obama, who signed it into law four days later. A direct response to the economic crisis, the Recovery Act strives to create new jobs and save existing ones, spur economic activity and invest in long-term grown, and foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending. Among its objectives, the act makes $275 billion available for federal contracts, grants, and loans.
Anaerobic Digestion – A biological process in which biodegradable organic matters are broken down by bacteria into biogas, which consists of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace amount of gases. The biogas can be used to generate heat and electricity.
Ancillary Services – The services other than scheduled energy that are required to maintain system reliability and meet WSCC/NERC operating criteria. Such services include spinning, non-spinning, and replacement reserves, voltage control, and black start capability.
Anthracite – Hard coal, found deep in the earth. It burns very hot, with little flame. It usually has a heating value of 12,000-15,000 British thermal units (Bt
Atom – The smallest unit of an element consisting of a dense positively charged nucleus (of protons and neutrons) orbited by negatively charged electrons.
Atomic Energy Commission – The independent civilian agency of the federal government with statutory responsibility to supervise and promote use of nuclear energy. Functions were taken over in 1974 by the Energy Research and Development Administration (now part of the U.S. Department of Energy) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Avoided Cost – 1. (Regulatory) The amount of money that an electric utility would need to spend for the next increment of electric generation to produce or purchase elsewhere the power that it instead buys from a co-generator or small-power producer. Federal law establishes broad guidelines for determining how much a qualifying facility (QF) gets paid for power sold to the utility.
2. The cost the utility would incur but for the existence of an independent generator or other energy service option. Avoided cost rates have been used as the power purchase price utilities offer independent suppliers.
Ash – Impurities consisting of silica, iron, alumina, and other noncombustible matter that are contained in coal. Ash increases the weight of coal, adds to the cost of handling, and can affect its burning characteristics Ash content is measured as a percent by weight of coal on an "as received" or a "dry" (moisture-free, usually part of a laboratory analysis) basis.
Asphalt – A dark brown-to-black cement-like material obtained by petroleum processing and containing bitumens as the predominant component; used primarily for road construction.
Barrel – In the petroleum industry, a barrel is 42 U.S. gallons. One barrel of oil has an energy content of 6 million British thermal units.
Base Load – The lowest level of power production needs during a season or year.
Battery, Alkaline – A device that stores energy and produces electric current by chemical action.
Balancing Authority (electric) – The responsible entity that integrates power plant resources ahead of time and maintains the balance between electricity production and use within a particular region.
Benzene – An aromatic hydrocarbon present in small proportion in some crude oils and made commercially from petroleum by the catalytic reforming of naphthenes in petroleum naphtha. Also made from coal in the manufacture of coke. Used as a solvent in the manufacture of detergents, synthetic fibers, petrochemicals, and as a component of high-octane gasoline.
Bioconversion – Processes that use plants or micro-organisms to change one form of energy into another. For example, an experimental process uses algae to convert solar energy into gas that could be used for fuel.
Biodiesel – a biodegradable transportation fuel for use in diesel engines that is produced through the transesterification of organically- derived oils or fats. It may be used either as a replacement for or as a component of diesel fuel.
Biofuel – Fuel produced from renewable biomass material, commonly used as an alternative, cleaner fuel source.
Biogas – The mixture of methane, carbon dioxide, and other minor gases formed from the decomposition of organic materials.
Biomass – Energy resources derived from organic matter. These include wood, agricultural waste and other living-cell material that can be burned to produce heat energy. They also include algae, sewage and other organic substances that may be used to make energy through chemical processes.
Bituminous Coal – Soft coal containing large amounts of carbon. It has a luminous flame and produces a great deal of smoke.
Blackout – A power loss affecting many electricity consumers over a large geographical area for a significant period of time.
Boiler – A closed vessel in which water is converted to pressurized steam.
Boiling Water Reactor – A nuclear power unit in which water used as a coolant is allowed to boil at the core. The resulting steam may be used to drive electric turbines.
Breeder Reactor – A nuclear reactor that produces more fuel than it consumes. The breeder, invented in the United States, is used as a power source in several European countries.
British Thermal Unit (Btu) – The standard measure of heat energy. It takes one Btu to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at sea level. For example, it takes about 2,000 Btu to make a pot of coffee. One Btu is equivalent to 252 calories, 778 foot-pounds, 1055 joules, and 0.293 watt-hours. Note: In the abbreviation, only the B is capitalized.
Brownout – A controlled power reduction in which the utility decreases the voltage on the power lines, so customers receive weaker electric current. Brownouts can be used if total power demand exceeds the maximum available supply. The typical household does not notice the difference.
Butane – A hydrocarbon gas found in the earth along with natural gas and oil. Butane turns into a liquid when put under pressure. It is sold as bottled gas. It is used to run heaters, stoves and motors, and to help make petrochemicals.

"Go for it." "Dig!" This was my high school volleyball coach yelling at us in practice. She always reminded us to Be Proactive. We shouldn't wait for the ball to get to us before we move. We were to anticipate where it was going and move towards that area. She encouraged us to get in the right position in order to get to the ball first. Our volleyball team was not the best in the area. Frankly, we were dead last! But her lesson stuck with me over these years.
A few years later, I encountered this concept of "Be Proactive" again when I was introduced to Stephen' Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. With this principle Covey encourages us to Be Proactive about the scripts that we use for our lives and take responsibility for them. He also encourages us to engage with others in a positive manner in order to broaden our circles of influence. This will often put you in the right position to succeed, to get to the ball first.
Being proactive serves me well. When I worked in the corporate world, if I knew of a position that was available in an area that would help me to grow in my career; I would learn what were the qualifications for the position in order to assess how my credentials stacked up against the requirements. I was setting myself up to get to the ball first.
If there were any gaps, I worked to gain the knowledge and the experience to fill those gaps. I also spoke with the people doing the job to learn the pros and the cons of the position. This helped me to make an informed decision of whether it was a right fit for me or not. This also allow others to know that I was serious about my interest in the position. Being proactive also boosted my confidence level. More often than not, I would get the position…hitting the ball right over the net.
The times that I wasn't proactive about taking action were generally times when I didn't achieve what I wanted. They were times when I fell short of the goal. Being reactive puts me at a disadvantage more than not…in other words losing. Do you find this to be true also for you?
Stephen Covey advises that we can be proactive by using self-awareness to select the right scripts for our lives. We must also take responsibility for these scripts, because we are the ones who chose them.
In his podcast #131: How To Make Politics Work in Your Favor, keynote speaker and author Dre Baldwin uses the word Politics in an unorthodox way to demonstrate how not Being Proactive can hurt you. He states that if you lose a job position that you wanted to someone else, it is your own fault. You didn't develop your "Politicking" skills to be proactive about getting the position.
Mr. Baldwin also shares recommendations for Being Proactive through better "politicking" techniques. The first thing he recommends is to improve your people's skills. Sounds familiar…this is part of Covey's recommendation not necessary stated in the same way. Being proactive about learning how to work best with others is a strong part of being successful. There are other steps that Mr. Baldwin shares to help you can develop your "Politicking" skills to gain more success. Listen to the podcast here #131: How to Make Politics Work in Your Favor.
Being Proactive in life has it's advantages. Here are some of the benefits of practicing Being Proactive:
- Save you Time and Money
- Make you more prepared to handle most situations
- Gets you the guy or girl (had to throw that in there)
- Recognize earlier on when to make a change
- Develops Self-confidence
- Expend less energy
- Brings peace of mind
Looking back I can definitely say that Being Proactive feels a lot better that being reactive. What are some methods you use to Be Proactive? Let me know. I'd like to hear from you.
For those of you that are in reactive mode, what are you waiting for? "Go after it!" "Dig!" Put yourself in the right position to hit the winning ball now!

Hopkins, Pauline E.
"You must be patient and persevere, and after awhile you will be able to make your houses stand. Isn't that right, Mr. Pollock?"
Pollock stood a little apart, gazing in amazement at the scene before him. Golden eagles given to a child to play with was a little beyond him. He made no direct reply to Mr. Montfort's remark, and if the latter had been an observant man, he might have been a bit puzzled at the expression on his face. But Charles Montfort was ingenuousness itself, seeing in no man an enemy. Anson Pollock was his opposite; his ruling passion was covetousness. His eyes were fairly dazzled by the sight of the gold so carelessly strewing the floor. It positively took away his breath.
"Come, Pollock, we will talk over those matters in my study," said Montfort presently. "My son," he added, as he paused at the doorway, "be careful not to lose your ducats. They are your portion to pay your college bills when you cross the ocean to finish your education."
"Going to send him abroad to study?" carelessly inquired Pollock.
"Oh, yes; America's all right for me, but bonny England for my boys."
Anson Pollock, whom Charles Montfort had chosen for his friend, was a man of dashing appearance. He carried his years jauntily, and
He had showered Mrs. Montfort with assiduous attention since her arrival three years before, but he soon found that he made no headway. Once he dared to tell her of his passion--that from the first moment he saw her aboard the "Island Queen" he had been maddened by her beauty.
"Why do you tell me this?" she cried, in angry amazement at his daring. "Am I so careless of my husband's honor that his friends feel at liberty to insult me?"
"Granted that I overstep the bounds of friendship in speaking thus to you, but it is from no lack of respect; rather the deed of one who risks all upon one throw of the dice. Have mercy, I pray you, and grant me your friendship--your love."
Then Grace Montfort said, while her eyes blazed with wrath: "Mr. Pollock, we are strangers here, my husband and I. He trusts you, and I have no wish to disturb that trust; but if you ever address such words to me again, I shall let Mr. Montfort know the kind of man you are. I promise you that he will know how to deal with you." This conversation had taken place one night at a grand fęte, where Grace had been the belle of the assembly; they were in the conservatory at the time. Anson Pollock was not accustomed to having his advances received in this way by any woman whom he elected to honor with his admiration. As the indignant woman swept back to the ballroom, he stood and watched her with an evil look, which meant no good. After that they met as usual, but Pollock had never ventured to speak to her again of love. Outwardly he was the same suave, genial gentleman, but within his breast was a living fire of hatred. The two men became faster friends than ever. Mrs. Montfort was pleased to have it so; they had so few friends in this alien land; she felt so lonely, so helpless. She dreaded making enemies. It was but the lull before the storm.
When the study door had closed behind the two men, Mr. Montfort dropped his pleasant,
"Pollock," he began abruptly, "I'm worried."
"What about?" asked Pollock, turning from the window, where he seemed to be viewing the landscape.
"Have you heard the rumors about my wife being of African descent?" Montfort asked, coming very close to Pollock, as though afraid the very air would hear him. "There are threats, too, against my life because of my desire to free my slaves."
"Nonsense!" exclaimed Pollock. "I have heard the rumors about Mrs. Montfort, but that is nothing--nothing but the malice of some malicious, jealous woman. As for the threats against your life, how can you think of such things a second time. You are among the most chivalrous people on the face of the earth, who will protect you in your home."
Montfort stood a moment before his friend, gazing at him earnestly; then he said: "Pollock, if anything happens to me, I want you to promise me to help my wife and babies to get back to Bermuda."
"Why, what can happen, man; you are nervous without a cause."
"In that safe," continued Montfort, not heeding the interruption, "you will find money and
"I promise; but it is all nonsense."
"I shall hold you to your promise," replied Montfort solemnly.
The committee on public safety generally met once a month. They had a chairman, but no one knew his identity save a chosen few of the committee. Indeed very little was known positively as to the identity of any of the members; certainly no one would ever have suspected the elegant Anson Pollock of being connected with such an organization.
On this particular evening Bill Sampson lounged by the Jefferson house on the lookout for some of his friends. Anson Pollock sat on the broad steps, evidently on the watch for some one, too. "Hi, Bill!" he called, as the latter came in sight.
"Holloa! want me?" returned Bill; and at a nod from his employer, he followed him through the entrance to a small back room, generally used for the meetings of the committee.
"Anything new for the committee tonight?" asked Pollock, as he lounged over the back of a chair. Bill took a seat on the edge of the table and began cutting circles in the air with his rawhide. Bill Sampson was a character in his way. One could not imagine Newbern
"Wall, mabby, mabby; depends on what you call wurk. Somebody," with a sly glance at Pollock from beneath his bushy eyebrows, "somebody's been circlatin' a r'port about a fren' o' yourn."
"Well," replied Pollock sharply.
"Looks like we'd treed a 'possum, sho."
"Somebody says how's Montfort's slaves is wurkin' fur part pay; leastways, every mother's son o' them'll be free inside o' five years."
"Anything else?"
"We kin' o' thought that'd do fer a spell. He's done nuff in that ar to convict him an' buy his halter. Thet'll do fer one pint."
"But that don't cover the case. What luck have you had in spreading the other report?"
"Wall," said Bill, as he shot a copious draught of tobacco juice over the sanded floor, "mos' the fellers think it a pity 'bout Mis' Montfort. Blamed nice 'ooman. She's been mighty good to Jeff Peterson's fam'ly, an' Jeff he feels mighty uncomf'table 'bout hurtin' on her, durned ef he don'."
"You and Jeff want to do your duty," replied Pollock. "No matter about sentiment. Influence is great with certain people, and if
"Course, course; we 'tend ter do our duty; yas, sir, our whol duty; but it beats all nater bout Mis' Montfort. I knowed she wuz mixed the minute I seed her, but 'ain't nuff to 'tract 'tention." He paused a moment, and then said with a sigh: "Well, Cap'n, what's yer orders?"
Pollock saw that the man's sympathy was more than half enlisted on the woman's side, and with arch diplomacy changed his tactics. He handed Bill a cigar, saying, "We may as well make ourselves comfortable"; and before the latter had fairly begun to enjoy the fragrant weed, had called for whiskey and was pressing him to help himself. Under its stimulating influence Bill soon lost what slight scruples he had felt, and was as eager for the downfall of the unfortunate family as his patron.
"Well, Bill," continued Pollock, "the first thing to be done is to put Montfort out of the way; then it will be plain sailing. The next question is: Who will do that job?"
"Reckon I know jes' the man--a man o' the right sperrit, who'll be glad to serve his country fer a reasun'ble consideration. An' thet remin's me, how much o' the property is to be resarved fer you?"
"The boys may have what they can get of it; I don't care for any part of the spoils; all I want is the mother and the children."
"Jes' so; wall, now, seein's I understan' the case jes' as you want it, I'll lay low, set the boys on; you keep shady an' stan' ready the minute the mine's fired. I ain't got a cuss agin Montfort myself, but the institootion must be respected. Sure thar's plenty o' whiskey an' stuff in the cellur? 'Twould look kin' o' mean in Montfort not to have a full cellur. It's a big job, an' the boys'll be thirsty." With this, the two worthies arose from their seats and sauntered through the door and up to the bar.
A day or two after the foregoing, Hank Davis, true to his word, formally applied to Mr. Montfort for the position of overseer on his plantation.
"What made you think that I wanted an overseer?" asked Montfort, as he pushed his hat off his face a little farther and eyed the petitioner critically, mentally vowing that he would never place even a horse in the power of such an ill-favored, beastly looking fellow.
"Wall, most Southern gentlemen don't keer ter have a nigger overseer. It spiles 'em; they gives themselves airs, an' git sot up in thar idees. Thought mabby you, bein' a stranger, mightn't know our ways. You see, it's jes'
Charles Montfort looked at him a moment with a slumbering wrath before he asked with dangerous coolness: "What do I understand by what you have just said, Mr. Davis? Do you mean to insinuate that a man cannot do as he will with his own property?"
"Wall, no; not eggsactly; but it's jes' hyar, to speak plainly as 'tween fren's," replied Hank, as he shifted his tobacco to the other side of his mouth, "the plain fac' is: I want the job of drivin' yer niggers, an' you'll want me to keep the commoonity fren'ly to yer now it's got out thet yer a-gwine ter set the gang free byme by."
Charles Montfort possessed one characteristic of the West Indian to a marked degree, and that was a bad temper under just provocation. Without more ado he seized the offending Hank by the collar, and with his riding whip, which he carried in his hand, he administered a sound flogging to the offender. As he released him, he said: "When you leave my grounds, don't you ever set your foot inside
Hank said nothing as he raised himself from the ground where the irate man had thrown him, but as he turned to leave the place he looked at Mr. Montfort; and even in his wrath at the insolence of such a mongrel cur, as he mentally styled Davis, Charles Montfort felt a shudder of real physical fear pass over him for a moment. Surprised at himself, he turned to enter the house, dismissing the whole incident as a piece of impudence which he had done well to chastise.
Taking it all in all, Mr. Montfort was not feeling very happy on this June morning, as he sat upon the piazza thinking over the late encounter. An hour passed swiftly away; still the master of the house continued his meditations; but now he had changed his seat for a thoughtful promenade up and down the broad piazza. Finally he said softly to himself: "Yes, that is just what I will do; I'll send Gracie and the little fellows home for awhile on a visit, and there they shall stay until I know just what the trouble is here about the slaves, and certain insinuations concerning my family are cleared up." When a man makes up his mind that he has solved a difficult problem that has worried him, he generally has an air of relief which
When Hank Davis left Mr. Montfort he moved slowly down the sun-baked road, nursing his wrath and swearing vengeance. Nothing but the life of the man who had inflicted such an insult upon him could wipe it out. He had received the same treatment that he had given hundreds of his associates, until his name and presence had become a terror in the county where he resided. Hitherto he had given his orders and they had been obeyed; but here was a man, a comparative stranger, for whom he considered that he had been willing to do a great kindness, for a consideration, and not only had he met with a refusal of his request but at the same time had received personal violence of a character that was most galling to the spirit of any free-born Southern man--an ordinary cowhiding, such as he would mete out to his slave. As he thought more and more about the matter he grew more and more filled with a desire for vengeance,--not the ordinary kind, but something extraordinary. As he gradually turned over in his mind schemes for the undoing of the Montforts, he was accosted by the voice of Bill
Hank sat down on a log by the wayside and beckoned Bill over to him. The latter came slowly across the field and seated himself astride one end of the log.
"Howdy, Hank"; "Howdy, Bill," passed in greeting between the two cronies.
"'Pears like to me, Hank, yer a-lookin' pale," remarked Bill, as he trailed his whip backward and forward in the dust.
Hank could stand it no longer; and with a terrible imprecation, he unfolded to his friend his tale of woe and insult. Bill listened with eager curiosity, and a satisfied, knowing look
"Wall, wall," said he, "these ar' great times when a d--West Ingy half-white nigger can raise his hand agin a white man. Be yer hurt much, Hank?"
"Some in my body, but more in my feelin's."
"What ar' we a-comin' to? I tell you, Hank, it is 'bout time sumthin' was done."
"That's all well enough to talk," replied Hank, "but what kin a man do agin the money thet thet feller's got to back him up? I cayn't see a handle on him."
"Wall," replied Bill, "I kin ."
"You kin! " exclaimed Hank, while a slow smile of derision covered his face; "wall, I'd jes' like to know how."
"Yer kin laugh, Hank Davis, but it's a fac'. 'Taint goin' to be no hard job, nuther, to git all thet money, all them purty trinkets and fine furniture, and the seven hundred niggers in our pockets ef "--(and here he paused as though to give emphasis to his words) " ef we wurks the thing right."
"Damn it all, man, why don't yer let out?" demanded Hank, as he rose excitedly from his seat on the log. "I'm the man to help on anythin' agin thet man, an' yer knows it. No need of yer bein' so infernal aggravatin' 'bout tellin' me."
Bill laughed at his companion's excitement. "Easy thar, easy, Hank. This ar' a mighty titlish job, but we kin wurk it--we kin wurk it. Fust place, yer see Montfort's brought them slaves o' hisn hyar and don't tend to keep 'em only 'bout ten years, and then every one o' them will have bought hisself, accordin' to the laws thet ar' governin' them over to the West Indies. Now, yer know ther's a bad eggsample to set befo' the niggers roun' this town. Eny way, we's goin' to think so," drawled Bill, with an expressive wink at his friend. "It's a law of the United States that ef eny man is caught creatin' dissatisfacshun among the slaves he desarves death, and death he gits. Now, this ar Montfort has been causin' trouble fer us by his eggsample. Every nigger roun' hyar knows all 'bout his 'rangements fer givin' his slaves thar freedom, and I tell yer, Hank, its causin' dissatisfacshun 'mong all our slaves. An' then the money, honey, the money! sech sights of it all done up in little shammy-skin bags, an' thet boy Jesse settin' on the floor amoosin' hisself buildin' houses with them gold eagles!"
Hank listened to his companion's words with open mouth. As the latter finished he said, with a look of admiration: "Wall, I'll be d--d! Now, look a-hyar, Bill Sampson, yer needn't tell me thet all thet yer have just unfolded to me is
Bill produced a plug of tobacco, offered his friend a chew and took one himself. "What I'm tellin' yer, Hank, is 'tween fren's," said he, chewing and crossing his legs.
"Jes' so," replied Hank.
"I wuz tellin' yer the 'riginater o' this plan, or I wuz about to." Bill paused to spit out some of his tobacco juice on the ground, so that it would not overflow the tank, so to speak, and run out of each corner of his mouth. "Beats all nater, Hank, how a man'll git dead set onter a piece o' caliker."
"Meanin' by that, Bill, that Ans Pollock's got set on some gal."
"Fact!" said Bill, with a wink.
"Who's?" asked Hank.
"It mote be Mis' Montfort herself, Hank."
"Sho, you don' say, re'lly," said Hank, with a wicked look. "Don' blame him, blamed ef I do. But thet's all the good it'll do him."
Bill cut the air into imaginary circles with his whip, and without taking any notice of his
"Bill," said Hank Davis, as he held out his hand to his friend, "we's allers been pardners, an' I reckon we allers will be."

I made the rest of it by printing out the photo and making a collage on a wall with paint and paper and glue. This image is on the front of the booklet and on some posters or something something. I also drew a picture for a pillow case with a severed horse head and blood.

Lisa Michelle San Filippo and Troy Kevin Schmidt got married this summer in Calgary with a beautiful ceremony and celebration. The wedding's focus and theme was LOVE – a celebration of their love story. The couple wanted everyone in attendance to feel love in every direction. So to start, the officiant started with a lovely passage written by the bride:
On behalf of Troy and Lisa, welcome to a day in the life of their Love Story. They have asked that I specifically invite you to fully enjoy this day, feel of their love, and perhaps feel and renew a connection of the love you have in your life, whether that's here with the person next to you, or in your life around you. Troy and Lisa are all about 'connecting from the heart', and when they asked me to officiate today, they wanted me to be sure to invite the spirit of God and a spirit of love to this ceremony and this evening. May each and everyone of you here enjoy that feeling this evening.
Not only did they celebrate their love and their love for everyone who was there, they also showed their support for local talent and services. Lisa and Troy chose local vendors because it made them feel more connected when working with them. The personal touch, the support it gives to them and their families, and the joy it brings them to get to work on their craft. When the couple gave their thank you toast, each company and person's name was announced to show appreciation and support. The room was in tears and cheers and whoops we're so loud after all 25 were announced. You could feel the strong support for these local companies and this community lifting. The celebration was gorgeous and the love was felt by all.

GOOD MORNING: Bill Clinton is played by David Dukes, Monica Lewinsky by Melissa Gilbert; Bill Maher plays Ken Starr, Susan Rattan is Linda Tripp, Arte Johnson's John McCain and Edward Asner is Joe Eszterhas. They are among the cast of New Millennium's audio version of Eszterhas' "American Rhapsody." Both the book (Knopf) and the audio debut July 18. In the book, the characters speak for themselves, via words by Eszterhas. The casting for the audio was made by New Millennium toppers Deborah Raffin and Michael Viner, who are readying three audio formats: abridged tapes, CDs and an unabridged tape that includes the entire book plus additional chapters that, for reasons they say "will become apparent, were not included in the final draft of the book." Among those who may not be happy to learn how Eszterhas has included them in the book: Sharon Stone, Warren Beatty, Robert Evans, Farrah Fawcett, and certain agents and agencies. Joe is not shy and he'll no doubt prove it "live" on the "Today" show July 18. (In case he doesn't remember to tell, his last film scripts were "Burn, Hollywood, Burn," "Telling Lies in America," "Showgirls" and "Jade") … On a healthier note about New Millennium Audio, Carl Reiner is recording Mark Twain's "From the Earth," which Twain's widow had banned from publication until 50 years after his death. Reiner plays Satan on this audio, having previously recorded (for New Millennium) Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and "The Prince and the Pauper." Reiner receives the Mark Twain award from the Kennedy Center on Oct. 24, and will receive an "Audie" for the audio of his book "How Paul Robeson Saved My Life." Sorry to learn that Carl's wife Estelle, is at UCLA Medical Center undergoing treatment for acute bronchitis.
BOB HOPE WILL RECUPE at the Palm Springs home for a week, returning to their Toluca Lake house on/about the 12th when additions, like an exercise pool, are completed. Hope's unending sense of humor persists, daughter Linda tells me. "Every time Dolores tells him, 'You know, we should make some arrangements' " (you know what for), Hope answers, "Surprise me!" Before this hospital trip to cauterize bleeding in his colon, the Hopes attended the Library of Congress inaugural of the Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment, where his humor files and papers will be kept. He and Dolores then visited with Laura Mako at the latter's Chesapeake home where Hope went fishing. Among the many plans for Hope's three-dimensional memorabilia (like a giant replica of the royal barge given him by the King of Thailand) is a Bob Hope museum. It has long been talked about to be built on Hope's acre and a half, across the street from NBC in Burbank. It continues to remain vacant, except when Hope lets the YMCA hold Halloween pumpkin or Christmas tree sales on it. There are also 16 vaults filled with his videotapes and files, including 300 hours of specials and outtakes, and 80,000 fotos. Bob, 97, is in "good spirits," says Linda. Dolores, 91, is planning to record another album this summer … Michelle Philips and plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Zax will marry Aug. 1 in Hawaii. Rumors they'd already wed in Mexico were wrong, said Zax. Michelle is off to Seattle Film Fest where she'll see "Lost at the Pershing Point Hotel" for the first time. "I play an evil mother in that one," she laughed as she celebrated her birthday with Zax and daughter Chynna and her husband William Baldwin at Pastina in Westwood. Chynna, who welcomed daughter Jameson three months ago, is going back to work to once again record with the Wilson Phillips group.
OUT OF 17TH CENTURY FRANCE and into the '20s in Hollywood: After almost three years as "The Scarlet Pimpernel," Douglas Sills (Tony-nominated) departs the show at the Ahmanson June 18 and tells me he's next legit'ing "Mack and Mabel" at the UCLA Reprise series Nov. 8. He also has a date at South Coast Rep to play "Much Ado About Nothing" and is talking with Bill Haber to co-star with Vanessa Williams in "Storyville," a musical set in the red light district of New Orleans at the turn of the century … Ernie Lehman's latest book, "Sweet Smell of Success, The Short Fiction of Ernest Lehman" (Overlook Press) is now hitting the stalls as the legit musical version of "Sweet Smell" is about to finalize pacts with John Lithgow to play the J.J. Hunsecker role (Burt Lancaster in the pic) and Brian d'Arcy James as Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis). Workshop rehearsals begin June 26. And Castle Rock is budgeting the film version of Lehman's last novel, "Farewell Performance" … How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice! Standup comic Hugh Fink — and his fiddle — open for Jon Stewart at the Hall tonight … The well-liked Anita Cotter departs as PR director of N.Y.'s Palace Hotel to head publicity for the Savoy Group (the Connaught, Claridges, Barclay, etc.) as director of their publicity for the Americas … Jim Yeager and his Universal Studios Recreation Group PR team won three "Bulldogs" for the campaign to open U's Islands of Adventure in Florida … The Flanders Intl. Film Fest — Ghent (Oct. 10-21) — sponsors Friday's concert by Ennio Morricone conducting the Belgian National Orch in Kuipke in an anthology of his classic film scores plus a first-time performance of his score of the 1912 silent, "Life and Death of King Richard III." Mace Neufeld is president of the Flanders Film Fest jury.

Now for those of you who don't know or have never been to an all inclusive resort; it means 24/7 of all the beer, liquor and food you want including 24 hour room service. Everything is included in the price of your trip (Airfare + Room).
Both of the resorts I feature in this post below are gay friendly adults only (no damn kids) resorts. No, they are not gay resorts, they are resorts that are friendly to gay patrons…there is a difference.
The Valentin Maya is a gay friendly adults only all inclusive resort. They even have gay porn on certain adult stations. The grounds are very clean, green, spacious and lush with lots of local wildlife (nothing that will kill you). Nice large pool and white sandy beach. The food is good and of course top shelf beer and liquor was fully flowing. Now the gym was lame and small but if you are not one to work out on vacation you shouldn't care. Nice marble bathroom with large tub and plenty of room in the shower for two. They also have shows in the evening for entertainment.
If you are the adventuress type, I would recommend zip lining and swimming the cenotas at Xplore Adventure Park.
You do have to do a lot of walking and climbing up stairs and towers but they have the most numerous, tallest and fastest zip lines on the Yucatan Peninsula.

From Washington to Springfield, grandstanding lawmakers have been tripping over each other to mandate new health insurance benefits while simultaneously extending coverage to people who have none.
Even the mythical Sisyphus would have figured out by now the self-defeating nature of this strategy. Then again, the king of Corinth never issued press releases about his progress pushing the rock uphill.

As of 2015, the most recent British sixpence coins, minted in 1970, show the profile of Queen Elizabeth II on the front and a floral design featuring a rose, thistle, shamrock and leek on the reverse. The diameter of this coin is 3/4 inch, and the coin's circumference is milled.Continue Reading
The reverse of the sixpence shows the words "six pence" along with the date of minting. The abbreviation Fid Def, short for the Latin phrase "fidei desfensor," meaning "defender of the faith," is also printed on the reverse. The last sixpence coins containing silver were minted in 1946; the most recent coins are made with cupronickel. The British sixpence is no longer circulated and is not considered legal tender.Learn more about Coins & Currency

Sue Minter brings people together in the toughest times to solve problems.
A proven leader, she brings a record of success as Vermont's Secretary of Transportation, Deputy Secretary of Transportation, Irene Recovery Officer, and as a State Representative.
Sue helped lead Vermont's recovery in the wake of catastrophic flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. At the Agency of Transportation, she helped oversee the rebuilding of over 500 miles of damaged roads and bridges within four months. As Vermont's Irene Recovery Officer from January 2012 to February 2013, Sue worked with residents, state agencies and local businesses to help get our state back on its feet.
Sue's leadership and success during Irene led to her being sought out to help Colorado with its own disaster recovery in the wake of extreme flooding in 2013.
In 2014, Sue represented Governor Shumlin on the White House Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience, where she co-chaired the Subcommittee on Disaster Recovery and Resilience.
Sue was elected four times as a State Representative in the Vermont legislature from 2004–2010. Known as a bi-partisan problem solver, she represented Waterbury, Duxbury, Huntington and Buel's Gore.
Sue's family roots in business taught her the value of hard work, being frugal, and perseverance. Sue grew up outside Philadelphia where her father, Bob, managed Minter's Candies until the family business was sold, and he moved the family to Providence, Rhode Island to manage another candy factory. Sue's mother, Evelyn, came from humble roots in St. Louis and found success as a figure skater in the Ice Follies. Evelyn passed on her love of skating and sports to Sue, who has enjoyed playing and coaching sports her whole life. At the age of 16, Sue attained a gold medal in figure skating after passing the sport's highest test. Sue played lacrosse and soccer in college. She remains an avid athlete and outdoorsperson and continues to enjoy participating in a variety of Vermont sporting events.
Sue fell in love with Vermont as a young girl over the course of many family ski trips with her three brothers and parents. In 1991, she married her college sweetheart, journalist David Goodman, and they chose to make their life in Vermont, moving to Waterbury Center, where they have lived for the past 25 years. Sue and David's proudest accomplishment has been raising their two children, Ariel (23) and Jasper (15).
In addition to her public service, Sue has been an active community member in Waterbury, working on early childhood education issues as a board member of the Children's Room and as a school volunteer. Sue also served on the Waterbury Planning Commission, helping with Waterbury's downtown revitalization activities. Additionally, she coached youth soccer and figure skating for over a dozen years. In her free time, you can find her running, skiing, bicycling or gardening.
Sue graduated from Harvard University in 1984 with high honors in sociology, and received her master's degree in city planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991. She has worked in the public, private and non-profit sectors as a professional planner at the local, state, and international levels.

Know something about this song or lyrics? Add it to our wiki.
The first night that we met, champagne was in my hand. Black leather fantasies. You took a beer from me. Makeup went on the drunks. C.D.s of emo punk. This New Year's I resolved to stay away from love. All I want is to value the ones that find me. And all I need is someone who just understands me. And all I know is that you taught me we're all guardians for the ones we know we live for. Lindsay, you're gonna save me. We're all guardians for the ones that we would die for. Lindsay, you're gonna save me from myself. I want you to know we'll see your fashion show. Massages all the time. My silver armor shines. So sew my heart for me, right there back on my sleeve. I'll make a tape for you, no more mistakes renewed. Where do the days go? I need this more than you will ever know. This torch of yours I'll carry until my dying days. All I know is that you showed me we're all guardians.

At this month's Cruise Shipping Miami 2012 event, we spoke with a collection of representatives from Southeast Asia, from both regional DMOs and cruise suppliers. There's an incredible amount of new infrastructure growth for both on-land meetings and shipboard programs in Singapore and the surrounding region, aimed at groups of all sizes at a variety of budget levels.
The representatives include:
- Kah-Peng Aw, chief executive of the Singapore Tourism Board
- Serene Tan, regional director for the Americas, Singapore Tourism Board
- Rizki Handayani, deputy director of multilateral cooperation, Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia
- Melvin Vu, CEO of SATS-Creuers Cruise Services
- Christina Siaw, CEO of Singapore Cruise Centre
The new cruise terminal at Marina South is expected to open mid-2012, doubling Singapore's berth capacity. It will feature advanced technology capable of providing a 30-minute passenger turnaround and the first sea-to-air baggage transfer service in the region.
Located at Singapore's southernmost tip, it is a 20-minute drive from the Singapore Changi Airport. Only a 5-minute drive away, groups can take in the beauty of the new Gardens by the Bay and the spectacular group hotel, Marina Bay Sands.
Also on the cruise front, Singapore's existing Cruise Centre will complete an $11 million renovation in April. The revamp will include optimization of operational space, a reworking of the commercial and retail space, an upgrade of the terminal hardware and software, and various gardens and atriums planted throughout.
Prevue: What makes Southeast Asia a unique destination for pre/post cruise incentives?
Kah-Peng Aw: I think the variety of destinations makes it extremely interesting because you've got city destinations, you've got resort destinations, and you've got cultural destinations. So depending on the kind of incentive group, the choices are all there and are all within a very accessible distance. For example, a Singapore to Jakarta flight is 45 minutes and to Bangkok is about an hour. So you're talking about an extremely accessible region if you look at intraregional travel. That supports the diversity of options that are there.
We have many destinations that are already what I call 'made for business,' and Singapore is one of them. People go for business and you have to build around that.
Rizki Handayani: Singapore grew in the past decade from having one percent of all the total flights to having 28 percent so airfare has dropped. You can go to any destination in Southeast Asia for less than what it would have cost you five years ago. This makes Singapore more than just a cruise capital; it's also an air hub.
Melvin Vu: I think that the fact that it's an open regime for visas is also important.
Kah-Peng Aw: Yes, all of Southeast Asia is now visa-free under the ASEAN umbrella, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
What are the top three reasons planners should look into Singapore for their meetings?
Kah-Peng Aw: Business, business, business. No, in the end I think groups want to be introduced to a region that is exciting and that is growing both for business as well as nonbusiness reasons. I think that's what makes us exciting.
Serene Tan: I think we see a lot of business traffic and a lot of business events have been taking place in Singapore both for conferences and meetings or incentives. What I've found is that we have a lot of repeat visitors as well, meaning they come the first time for business and then the second time they come with their family, friends or spouse. I think the second part speaks to the attractiveness of the destination.

CHICAGO (WSCR) — The baseball season is fast approaching, and WGN-TV and Comcast SportsNet Cubs play-by-play announcer Len Kasper is talking about what to expect.
Kasper talked with WSCR-670 The Score's Hub Arkush about the offseason, which brought veteran Carlos Pena and star pitcher Kerry Wood to the team. Wood, of course, is remembered as one of the most celebrated and admired Cubs pitchers of recent decades.
Wood settled for $1.5 million to return to the Cubs. While he could have gotten $5 million or $6 million elsewhere, he wanted to return home, Kasper said.
Meanwhile, while many Cubs fans were disappointed that Ryne Sandberg wasn't the team's choice for manager after Lou Piniella left, Mike Quade has earned the position and his efforts already have been paying off.
"I think Mike Quade deserved this opportunity. I know a lot of people were disappointed Ryno didn't get a chance to manage this team," Kasper said. "He may down the road get that opportunity, but in terms of managerial experience, Mike Quade earned it, and based on what he did late last year and what he's already done early here on in spring training, I think he's very, very well-prepared."
While Sandberg will likely win a Major League managerial job in the future, he wil
Kasper also talked about the prognosis for the NL Central Division, and what the outfield will look like this season.

In the race for supporting actor in a comedy series, "Veep's" Tony Hale ran as a dark horse against thesps including "Modern Family's" Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ty Burrell and "Girls'" Adam Driver.
When the award was doled out to Hale early in the ceremony, he was as joyfully surprised as those in the press room, and brought his awe-struck energy back for post-win interviews.
"Dude, it's nuts," Hale said to one journalist. "I've completely left my body. It's so surreal. I'm so thankful to be working, and to have this is completely mind-blowing."

Has there ever been a better friend to children than Anne Shirley of Green Gables? When Anne longed to find kindred spirits, her yearning for companionship spoke to everyone who had ever felt lonely. Her hopes for a forever family were a balm for all those who ever worried they would not find somewhere to belong.
Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables is an iconic piece of Canadian literary history and a beacon for children around the world. The novel, originally published in 1908, was an instant success and has sold more than 50 million copies. Montgomery, working from her home in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, drew upon her own rural childhood to write Anne of Green Gables and its sequels.
We can't think of a better way to celebrate Canada's women writers and Canadian girls on our journals than to feature a handwritten page from L.M. Montgomery's draft of one of the most beloved children's novels ever written.

Now I have to go look at Melissa Benoist naked again
emperor of DKB or something
There it isn't (taken down). That ass shot is amazing.
I love the leading girl. Good actress, adorable, sexy, goofy sense of humour.
Ray basically took my concept and my various demands and wrote it in a way that it's kind of safe for a more general audience rather than just dirty minded fucks like myself. It's actually a pretty funny script at parts, so Ray gets a thumbs up for that.
Still, I wish I had been there to personally over-see the project. Criticisms:
-Fight choreography. I don't have much experience with fight choreography but I'm positive I could do a better job. For one thing, I wouldn't have all those weird transitions, it would have been one continuous fight.
-Wish the first scene was longer, more drawn out. Could have happily watched 20 minutes of Supersam as a degraded slave, trying to please with a smile on her face.
-Would have liked a reaction shot of Sam while she was on all fours. The ass shot is amazing, but I think a reaction shot would have really added a lot.
-The other girl, Lisa, she's hot but she looks kind of bored.
Still, over-all I am happy.
"I'm totally your play thing", "I'll degrade myself and dance for you", fuck yeah.

Learn All the Tools in One Spot
Krita is a free painting tool designed for concept artists, illustrators, matte and texture artists, and the VFX industry. It has been in development for over 10 years and has had an explosion in growth recently. It offers many common and innovative features to help the amateur and professional alike.
The book is 230 pages jam-packed with content, tips, and information on how Krita works. At times the content is more of a technical manual while other times it feels like an art instruction book.
- Discover how assistants can speed up your creative process.
- Understand how to use the powerful brush engines.
- Master the user interface.
The content focuses on creating art, but many of the explanations and concepts can be carried over to other fields. I thought it would be helpful to have a single author that could focus on writing and explain all the latest features that Krita offers from end-to-end. You will learn many things including the following:
- See how to select and transform your artwork to fix common mistakes.
- Learn more about managing colors in your image.
- Countless tips and shortcuts that will speed up your work flow.
- Many illustrations to help you understand concepts.
- Has the most up-to-date instructions for version 2.9.7
There are a lot of wiki articles and YouTube videos, but many of them are old and incomplete. The people that maintain the Krita documentation are also developers, so their time is torn between documentation and programming.
An Art Tool that All Artists Need to Try
Krita is an award-winning and FREE painting tool designed for the following people in mind:
- Concept artists
- Illustrators
- Matte and Texture artists
- VFX industry
Krita has been in development for over 10 years and has had an explosion in growth recently. It offers many common and innovative features to help the amateur and professional alike.
Checkout the Krita website to learn more about it and download a copy.
See artist David Revoy working on his web comic Pepper & Carrot.
Why Krita is Being Well-Received
I have spent a lot of time talking with developers, listening to the common issues that people have, and have studied all of the training material that exists. After spending so much time in Krita, I have learned a few things:
- This application is amazing for creating artwork: I previously used other "industry standard" software before I found Krita. After learning more about the features, flexibility, and community that surround Krita, I think it is a tool that needs to be on every artists' computer.
- This project is heavily driven by artists: Almost all of the programmers that improve the application are artists as well.
- This application doesn't exist to satisfy share holders or get a good "return on investment". It is sincerely a labor of love. Krita can be used by every artist—from hobbyist to professional.
- There is an abundance of work done by volunteers that you don't hear much about. Campaigns like Kickstarter really help the main developers have food on the table, but that is only a slice of the work that goes into this project. To get an idea, compare the Krita 2.9 release notes with the Krita 2.9 Kickstarter goals.
This is a large reason why I decided that a percentage of the profits will be donated to the Krita Foundation. This will mean more features, bug fixes, and help make Krita even better.
Who Am I?
I have been using Krita since 2013. I originally found out about it through the Blender (3-D modeling) community. In 2014, I heard a "call for help" in redesigning and managing the website. I contacted Boudewjin Rempt (main Krita developer) and spent a lot of time in the next months gathering feedback and eventually coming up with the current krita.org website. I still actively manage and make improvements to the site as needed.
During the website process, I began to talk frequently with the Krita developers and volunteers. I saw they also needed some occasional guidance in the user interface department, so I assisted with that (design and C++ coding). While assisting with these aspects, I found that Krita needed more time spent toward education and training. The developers continue to push forward at a remarkable pace, but there was not enough time to document and show-off everything Krita had to offer. That is what started my journey with writing this book.
Where Do I Get the Book?
This book is available in two formats: print and e-book format. The book is in full color and contains a lot of artwork along the way. The ebook is also in color and is a good alternative if you have a tighter budget. The images and illustrations are a lower quality because of the requirements for ebooks, but all of the information is still there.
- The retail price for the book is $39.99
- The retail price for the ebook is $9.99
You can find the books and ebooks on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, etc.
Still Can't Afford It?
I know for some of you $10 is still quite a bit of money. You might have tried out Krita because it is free. You cannot afford stuff like books and that is just how it is right now. Maybe that $10 or $40 might be an entire month or year of your allowance that you cannot part with.
So where can you get free books at any time? A magical place where you can just walk in and almost everything in your view can be rented for free?
Your local library! Did you know that a lot of libraries will get you a book for free if you just ask them for it? Every country works differently so I cannot guarantee that this will always work. I know this method will at least work in the U.S.A. Give it a shot.

Crowdfund your way into UniversityAugust 19, 2013 | admin
Did you know…
250,000 students in the UK alone are missing out on postsecondary education each year due to lack of funds.
What does this mean?
The increasing demand for loans and grants far exceeds the ever shrinking supply of funds and students are being forced to come up with some more inventive ways of paying for their studies. One of these solutions is CROWDFUNDING.
And that is where Student Funder comes in:
The company came about from the personal experience of the CEO, Juan Guerra, who crowdfunded his way into university, and offers an online crowdfunding platform where by running campaigns on the website, students can raise funds for their tuition or living costs in exchange for rewards or repayments.
Crowdfunding itself is not a new concept- there are many platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo where people are selling products and services and raising millions of dollars- but using applying the process to funding education is a recent development.
Allowing students to raise not just donations but also social loans is even more novel. Given that most of our students are pursuing Masters Courses, their employability after graduating is high, and this idea is proving popular. The money is refunded to the investors if the student fails to reach their target.
How StudentFunder works:
The most obvious sources of donations are friends and family, and students are encouraged to raise at least 30% of their total target from them, showing that they have the personal determination and perseverance to raise their funds and succeed then Student Funder will then help them to progress to the next stages.
We are in the process of forming partnerships with higher education institutions in the UK so that once a student has reached their 30% target partner universities showcase the students' campaigns to alumni in an attempt to gain support. We also ask the institution to provide match-funding, which is where the university matches the amount of money that the student has raised.
Funds for tuition fees are paid directly to the institution and we are working hard to build these solid links with universities so as to increase support for and awareness of the financial difficulties faced by so many students today. To the student we give support and advice throughout the entire process, from providing information sheets on creating their initial campaign to approaching organisations and institutions we believe would take an interest in the student. As a crowdfunder using Student Funder, you not only gain important credibility but also create networks which will last beyond your campaign. We have students who have been offered jobs from people who have invested in them, like StudentFunder's founder was himself.
Success Stories:
Student Funder's launch in November 2012 we have seen two students, Charles and Rehan, successfully reach total targets of over £10,000 and another, Guelord, raised over £6,000, allowing him to accept a place at Coventry University. Our current campaigners range from Cathy, who wants to study Dance and Movement Psychotherapy following her work with adults and children with severe disabilities, to Jenny, whose ambition is to study Cancer Therapeutics at Barts Cancer Institute. There are currently five students live on our site and another 20 or so in the pipeline, preparing their campaigns.
Do you want to be another one?!
We believe that your personal means should not be a barrier to education. Each successful student on StudentFunder is encouraged to pay donations forward into another student's campaign as soon as they are able. They also act as mentors for other students currently going through the crowdfunding process. With this system the funding and the help are recycled and perpetuated amongst the people that need them most. Crowdfunding is definitely the way forward!

With SPIDER-MAN established as a demographic-crossing movie franchise — you don't gross $403 million in the domestic box office by appealing solely to comic-book enthusiasts — director Sam Raimi delivers one for the fans, steeped in the Spider-Man mythos and filled with casual allusions to vintage story lines and characters. But you don't need to recognize the secondary players destined to become Man-Wolf and The Lizard, or know that Peter Parker's first crisis of spider-faith occurred in a 1967 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man titled "Spider-Man No More" — the pulpy resonance of those words, which Peter intones with the gravity of a crestfallen priest, speaks for itself. The rare sequel that actually improves on the original, this robust entertainment's intelligence and emotional impact belie conventional wisdom that summer movie spectaculars are by nature brainless nonsense and only a stupid snob would complain about their cynical insubstantiality. When we last saw high-school science nerd Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), he was coming to terms with the immense responsibilities that accompany his great powers. Two years later, his life is a mess. He still pines for pretty Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), now a successful actress, but knows that Spider-Man's girlfriend would always be in harm's way. Peter's once carefree best friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco), forced to take over the family firm, OsCorp, because Spider-Man killed his father (Willem Dafoe, who returns in a brief but chilling cameo), is using alcohol to slake his all-consuming thirst for revenge. Peter's bereaved Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) is in danger of losing her home and Peter is too broke to help — he can barely pay the rent on his Manhattan hovel; between delivering pizzas and fighting crime, Peter is falling behind in his studies at Columbia University. Tabloid editor J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) continues crusading against Spider-Man, while his handsome son, astronaut John Jameson (Daniel Gillies), has poached Mary Jane. And because things are always lightest just before the dark, Peter gets to meet and befriend his idol, the brilliant humanitarian scientist Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), just before the inevitable freak accident that transforms gentle Octavius into villainous Doctor Octopus, his flesh fused with four artificially-intelligent biomechanical tentacles whose reptile brains whisper wicked nothings directly into his. Overwhelmed, exhausted and disillusioned, Peter calls it a day, only to find that his conscience won't let him rest. Raimi and screenwriter Alvin Sargent understand that big emotions and strong performances trump stuff blowing up, and in a film filled with runaway trains, flying masonry and glowing sci-fi machinery, the thread of tragic consequence pulsing through the extravagant set pieces elevates it from thrill ride to authentic popular myth.

Graphic & web designer located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Jen Schier
Creator / Maker / Explorer. Specializing in print media. Preoccupied with typography, printmaking, & surface pattern design.
I graduated from Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C. in 2013 with a diploma in Digital Art and Design. I have a background in Art History, which I studied in the prairies at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK.
After a few years in B.C.'s mountainous southern interior, I'm happy to have returned to the prairies. I currently work full time remotely as a graphic & web designer for Sun Peaks Independent News, a monthly newspaper distributed in the communities of Sun Peaks and Kamloops, B.C.
I'm constantly exploring new processes and media, practicing fine art on the side and incorporating these methods into my graphic design work. I'm currently focussing on printmaking, creating linocuts and block prints and creating patterns for stationery and textile design under the name of Jitterbug Handmade. You can see my printmaking work here.
Have a look at my design portfolio, and then get in touch!
Send me a message and I'll be in touch right away.
Word from the Clients
"Beyond my expectations! I had been in contact with a few designers and was feeling disheartened by the same cookie cutter logo over and over. I felt like I wasn't being listened to and wasted a lot of money in the process. That's when a friend recommended Jen. I filled out Jen's survey asking me what I wanted, including the "feel" I was after, and gave her my price range. Within a few days I opened up my email and could have cried with joy! There was the most beautiful & sophisticated hand drawn brand I have ever seen! She nailed it and gave me exactly what I wanted! Jen is an amazing talent and delight to work with! I recommend her to everyone I know!"
Chelsey Tyshynski, Owner of A Scarlett Lily
"Jen Schier went above and beyond with helping us at the Sun Peaks Skate Park Foundation to brand and promote our cause. Thank you, Jen."
Peter Wilson, Chairman of Sun Peaks Skate Park Foundation
"Jen was really helpful, efficient and executed my picky, eccentric yet unique style and tastes into a website perfectly tailor made for my art. I also really appreciate her sending me PDFs and files I needed in a pinch even though she was travelling half way across the planet! So many businesses feel like you pay them and never hear from them again, but she definitely followed up really well and made my business feel really important to me long after the transaction. Thanks for everything, Jen!"
Amelia MacLauchlan, Owner of Termina Taxidermy

With Jason Segel.
Back in June, Reese Witherspoon had some advice for today's breed of accidentally nude starlets: "When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed." Now Witherspoon may be about to put her own advice to the test, as she's being courted by Sony to play the lead in a new comedy called, yep, Sex Tape. The studio is in negotiations with Nicholas Stoller to direct and has made offers to Witherspoon and Segel to star in the story of a married couple who try to rekindle their spark by recording the titular video, only to find the next morning that their private tape has vanished. Finally, a female lead that Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson won't be vying for. [Deadline]
