Start a Story, be your own Fable. (Create a Fable Thread)
The Introduction:
(smokes a Huff & Puff cigarette while exhaling relaxingly)
Oh, salutations! Didn't quite see you there stranger, I mean, you did just stumble into my manor in the middle of a totally-not-so-spooky night and expected some sort of shelter from the foreboding darkness and chill factor, correct?
(silence fills the air)
Ah, well, no matter. Come. Sit down. In the opposite chair across from mine by the fireplace. Oh no, by all means, make yourself comfortable. Can I get you anything? Pillow perhaps?
(you sit suspiciously as I grin, while handing you a blank page book with the title: "Your Fable, Your Destiny")
Well, you seem puzzled, so I'll get to the point. Basically, this will be the blank canvas (and topic) that will get you on track to start your own fairy tale story concerning the Fables universe, and, you may as well ask: "Story, you say? What makes you think I would want to create a story?" Well, stranger, that is a question I cannot answer, as it is up to you to fulfill your destiny. To create a Fable that best describes you and how they blend in with the Fabletown community.
But, you don't have to be entirely honest if you don't want to, as you have the option to create a Fable character that doesn't even relate to you in the slightest, human or not.
Anyways, be creative! And you are more than welcome to draw a picture of your custom Fable if you'd really like! You are my guest after all, in this spacious manor.
P.S. - Newcomers and veterans to the Fables series are welcome to post in this topic too! Or if you are a stranger to the comics but love the game! Don't forget to use your creative juices, the lot of you!
Appreciation Speech: This is for everyone who has contributed to this topic, new, old, heck, even future storytellers that are inspired by this thread!
It has been a great honor to read all of your stories so far. Every sentence, every little detail, every emotion-induced moment included with the literary package you've brought to the table (or book, in the matter).
Wanted to say my thanks again, to everyone that has made this possible.
You can view the following Fable 'award ceremonies' for 2014 down below. Any potential future ones probably won't be created by me since people aren't all that interested in them anymore.

Hmm. Now this is interesting. You see, I've read all the comics, but never thought of making myself a Fable. It would be totally possible, considering not every single Fable is linked with a story known to the Mundy world. I've always thought of being other Fables (Mostly Snow White, since my personality reflects hers the most, with her motherly attitude and strategic thinking, as well as her values for her friends and family.) So where should I start? Well, I'd like to be unusual, something that has to be at the Farm because of non-human qualities. Maybe an unusual skin color? I'd also like some kind of powers associated with me; Maybe I could be Jack Frost Two's daughter. Although he is about as innocent as a child when it comes to adult things (If you know what I mean). I could also be one of the North Wind's servants (They're absolutely adorable.) Sigh.....You sir, have created a monster. I'll have to check back later with more detailed thoughts. To the Comic Rack! Flies away with powers she may or may not incorporate into her character
I shall await your story with twiddling thumbs. Oh, and powers? Sounds very fun for your own hybrid version of whatever your desired Fable would turn out to be!

I was Bigbys forgotten brother Wolverine and was sick of all the admiration for him the jealousy poisoned my thoughts i didn't want to kill him but for him to simply disappear. Then suddenly news came threw bigby was dead and no one knew who did it. My first reaction was shock but apart from that i was emotionless and ashamed because of that. See never knew my brother that well to feel big loss in my life. Suddenly uncontrollable anger filled my head and knew whoever did this will only face judgement by my blade so went to Fabletown.
Looking to edit this soon and write full story definitely going to be murder mystery, learn more about Bigby and appreciate his brothers work and epic fables v wolverine battles looking forward to it.
I arrived at Fabletown to complete silence everyone stared at me but everytime looked back they diverted their eyes to the ground I was being watched. I arrived at the Crimescene to see my brother the cops,fables and snow tried to stop me see the body for legal reasons till seen my blades rip out of my skin swore to myself if anyone touched me it would be the last thing they do they soon backed off. Bigby had claw marks all over his body none of this made sense Fables can't be killed. Looking at the big bad wolf before me now just looked like road kill. My anger intensified the other fables failed to protect him after all they treated him like monster still he tried to help them a true hero. A crazy thought entered my head Fabletown has a low population if I kill everyone at least I would have chance of killing the true suspect detective work never suited me. But wasn't my decision this wasn't way Bigby would of wanted his whole life would of been wasted protecting Fables only for them to be killed.
I started at the bar knew Gren wanted Bigby dead knew he ripped Grens arm off and I swore if he showed any cheek to me I'll take his legs and last arm off for the way he treated my brother. I looked at Gren even his eye contact made me want rip his head off. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY BROTHER GREN" Wolve said "HIS DEAD don't need to do anything" Gren said My blades ripped from my skin and I pinned his hand to the table as my blades ripped his skin through his hand. "WHO DID IT" Wolve said. "WHO CARES" Gren replied then Gren transformed into a massive beast Wolve didn't expect this and sudden growth threw him against the wall. Wolve smiled I love this job and his claws ripped from his skin. Gren threw tables and chairs at the Wolve he simply ripped them apart as reached him with his blades. Wolve ran at Gren screaming like made him stronger ran with such conviction feel even bullet wouldn't stop his pursuit. Gren laughed bad dog and put his claws straight into wolves stomach blood was pouring out of him like a tap. "Heard you brother begged for mercy before he died be last bone he ever catches stupid lapdog" gren said. Wolve was weak but the anger gave him power and Gren words seemed like gasoline to his fire. Wolve pulled his blades back then straight through eyes of gren then cut his last arm off "fetch" wolve shouted and left felt like life of external darkness and armless was faith worse then death so left him there. He then found a note in his pocket paying a hitman to kill bigby and went to that address.
I arrived at the office where the hitman hid and went into the room. There he was in his chair suddenly he turned his chair around "BROTHER" I froze the shock I nearly fainted there sat bigby. "You were dead" wolve said " No some glamoured troll is dead" laughing to himself. "WHY" Wolve said Suddenly his voice changed to more serious tone. Let me tell you a story years ago first murder in Fabletown happened to a girl named Faith all my close friends followed I followed the law by the book resisting all temptations to kill or torture to get answers ignoring my natural instincts while law waited for me to make one step wrong to lock me up. Through investigation and law by the book answer pointed to crane I locked him up "problem solved" NO everyone i knew and loved got murdered by the time found out it was his monkey framing crane. Should of killed everyone crane knew and loved to make sure the job was done but no law would not of allowed it. So I faked my murder now I can follow my own rules without any consequences or ruling by law or fables and no one will ever kill AGAIN unless it's me. Bigby said. No Bigby you were hero savior of this family everyone was proud and looked up to you for your work you were inspiration wolve said. You hated me the fables hated me and the police hated me i'm simply becoming the detective they deserve not want bigby said. YOU CAN'T BECOME A MONSTER LIKE ME YOUR A HERO wolverine shouted. I was a hero everyone i loved died and everyone hated me never again my morals got them killed never again join me brother Bigby said. Wolve was silent his mind could not process at all so confusing, But knew next decision was kill him or join.
I ran into the forest to gather my thoughts for about a week found myself the more thought about it more confused I got my brother was my hero and became like me a monster a tear filled my eye as knew i was really jealous of him because always wanted to be like him but to see what he has become was my worst nightmare only good person left in a evil world. I returned to Fabletown I couldn't move like a horror movie fear and terror filled my head for the first time in my life there was blood everywhere i was shaking. Bigby just murdered everyone he stood there in the middle of the street silent with blood soaked clothes breathing heavily. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" i screamed dropping to my knees. "JUSTICE" Bigby responded. I howled my blades ripped from my skin Bigby then transformed into a wolf. We sprinted at each other i no longer saw my brother but evil spirit who possessed his body. I ripped my blades straight at his head but was blocked with his own claws we were evenly matched. He barked so powerfully blew me against the wall I saw petrol beside me and poured it over my blades and lit it. He tried to block but burned his claws and cut them off. He was at my mercy tears filled Bigby eyes sorry let you down brother. Me too wolverine said then cut his head off then brought his body to witching well and threw it down in a bag his last words were Remember me as a hero when the bag flew down the hole.You Always were wolve said as tears filled his eyes he went on to be as promised to be Fablestown new detective just like his hero Bigby the worlds greatest detective.
and like to read your story in the thread sure help inspire users to write and be fun to read
No problem! And Bigby's bro, eh? Can't wait to see the full story, sounds suspenseful!
(scratches head) I'm surprised there's no one else that posted a story for themselves or explained what their own Fable might look like so far. I'll assume that everyone is hard at work at creating a tale for their character! So I'm going to make mine for now, don't laugh, or giggle! Well, maybe you can giggle and laugh at the same time since it might appeal to the little kid inside you, as I'm trying to make it like a nursery rhyme! ;S
Alright, here it goes... (clears throat)
'Dragon In Manhattan', by: DragonButter (currently done!)
"There once was a thief who was very greedy,
He was also quite needy,
Stealing this, stealing that, heck, even various hats!
But one day, he had heard of a rumor of a cave filled to the brim with gold,
And figured, that this is a job for the bold!
While eventually setting out for the vast wealth,
He would soon be in danger concerning his health,
As he made his way to the cave,
He soon realized, that he needed to shave!
He laughed to himself and said,
'I don't need to worry about that this dread,'
'As I'll be having an ice cold mug instead!'
Finally making it to the cave, he took a peek in
Complete with gold galore,
He literally could have sailed in a Galleon to El Salvador,
So then he tried to make his way down the piles of gold carefully,
But little did he realize that each step would cost his life dearly,
While all of a sudden, a guardian rose out from one of the gold piles and scolded,
'Who would dare steal this poor dragon's gold, among the days of old?'
The thief said,
'Oh mighty guardian, please don't scold, please let me take some of this gold!'
The dragon laughed heartily,
'Scold? No, I've to curse you into a permanent dragon form,'
'It is what the prophecies foretold'
The thief pleaded and begged, as his human body began exploding like a powder keg,
The dragon did his magic true, to start his thieving life anew,
'I hereby banish you to the Mundy city of New York, little thief,'
'From there, it will most certainly fill you with grief'
As the guardian hissed,
The thief was transported into the abyss,
Dark alleys all around,
Soon realizing, that he was in the area of Fabletown,
News spread fast of his sudden arrival,
In which he was in complete denial,
Trying to piece together what was happening,
He found the city lights rather dazzling,
A few ah's here, a few ooh's there,
Sheriff Bigby Wolf himself came out from the clear,
His sheer presence instilling fear,
'Those witches better be right about this', saying as he throws down a spirit bottle
In which she gave the thief a sudden kiss, feeling absolute bliss,
Indeed, the dragon did faint,
While Bigby put his hands and wings under restraint,
He was then taken to the farm,
Later saying that he didn't mean no harm,
Nobody saw him again,
Rumors have still been present that the dragon still plans to escape the farm someday,
But for right now, this is a tale that has to end for today."
I want to contribute to this thread by sharing my fable character. I intended to do a fanfiction with this but never got around to doing it but I did write the fable backstory for this character. She's a human character who looks Twenty years old. I'll try to post my drawing of her. So here's the short backstory of my character when she was living in the homelands.
Back in the homelands, I was just an ordinary girl living a normal life in a village. But one day when I went on an errand. I came across a witch who gave me a free charm necklace. I didn't know better and put it on my neck. The necklace glowed in red before my very eyes and I thought it was beautiful. The witch then told me that the charm necklace has chosen me as the host and its impossible to take off. I didn't believe her but when I tried taking off the necklace I couldn't. I tried ripping it off but it didn't work either. The witch laughed at my efforts and revealed to me that the necklace will grant immortality to anyone that I fell in love with. The witch then disappeared without a trace and left me with the charm necklace. I told my family about what happened but they didn't believe me. So I just continued living my usual lifestyle with the necklace hidden under my shirt so no one gets curious about it.
But after a couple of weeks have passed, a man came to my home in a carriage and said that Bluebeard has offered to marry me and live with him in a castle. I hesitated and told him that I decline the offer but my family interrupted and told the messenger that I will marry Bluebeard. Seeing that I didn't have a say in this I told them to hold on because I wanted to pack my clothes and other personal belongings. After packing my stuff, I decided to escape through the back of our home and run off into the woods where I lived in isolation from everyone. No one has ever found me ever since I left my village. I adapted to living in the woods as a hermit. All because of the charm necklace! Bluebeard must have found out that I had the necklace. I don't want anyone to have immortality so therefore I'm robbing myself of finding someone to love which is my sacrifice...
Here's my drawing of my fable when she's in Fabletown.
I'll try to add to her story of being in Fabletown, could take some time.
Absolutely breathtaking, it certainly piqued my interest!

Okay,i'll just start with the basic shit,the appearance and personality and hobbies,then i'll write (Fuckit,imma use my username)Azlyn's whole story.
Appearance:tall,slender(Oh,look!It's reference o' clock!),red curly shoulder-length hair,green eyes
Personality:smart-ass,funny,creative,intelligent,sarcastic,brave,doesn't trust anyone(not even herself),BUT she IS trustworthy,laid-back,hard-working,ambitious,distant,tough
Hobbies:reading,drawing,creative writing,extreme sports
Okay,story time!Once upon a time(because everybody knows there's no story without that beginning),there was a girl named Azlyn.She was living alone in a house at the peripheries of a small town.If you've read what i said up there,you already know the essence about her.Since she liked to read and draw,her imagination was off the effin' charts.She was waiting for an adventure,one that would take her away from the monotone life.But just waiting for something to happen doesn't always guarantee its happening.Not always.But there are some exceptions.And hers is one of those rare exceptions.
She didn't have friends.So,when she was feeling down,she used to take long-ass walks in the woods.During one of those walks,she met,in one little meadow,an old goblin,whose only possession was a paintbrush.When Azlyn saw it,she immediately felt like she needed to have the brush for herself.It was a strange feeling she couldn't overcome.So she asked the goblin where he was staying,to which he answered:
"Right here.In the forest.I am leaving tomorrow morning."
Azlyn planned to return there at night,when the goblin was asleep,and steal the brush.Yes,steal it.Why?Well,why not?
Anyway,she came back at midnight,and sneaked up to the goblin,picking up his brush,which he was holding at his chest,and turned around to go home.BUT,right then,the goblin awakened and turned into a great wizard(Yeah,with the long white beard and the blue cloak and shit)
The wizard took back his brush and told her that he traveled the Homelands with that cursed object,that made everybody that laid eyes on it want it terribly,in search of a person that wouldn't fall for its curse.He also told her that everyone failed no matter what,and he turned them into foxes,into thieves.
And so he turned Azlyn,too,into a small fox,like this one:
But yeah.She fled to another forest,where she lived for a few years,before coming upon another wizard,a friendly one.So she told him her story and he listened symathetically.When she finished,he agreed to turn her back into a human IF she helped him with an errand.He told her to go to the nearby dragon den and destroy the sleeping dragon's heart of fire.Heart of fire?Does that make sense?Probably not.But STFU and continue reading.
Okay,Azlyn went into the den,where the dragon,as the wizard had promised,was sleeping heavily.She looked around,but she could only see gold objects and bones.She didn't even know what the wizard meant,and was confused.But then she looked at the dragon.It was range with some iridexcent blue scales and big yellow teeth,and,right in the middle of his head laid one beautiful diamond-shaped ruby.It shined like fire,and Azlyn realized that must be what she was looking for.But how could she get it,without waking the dragon?For a huge dragon like that would smack the shit out of a small fox like her.
She went close to him,pondering on which way she should approach her problem.She touched the jewel shyly,and right at that moment,she felt it move under her paw.She backed away,and the ruby kept shaking,until it came out of the dragon's head,leaving one hole in its skull.The ruby flew and planted itself in Azlyn's head painfully.Her squeaks alerted the dragon,that rose and roared,but no fire came out.The fox quickly scurried out of the den and dissappeared into the forest.
She noticed that the jewel on her forehead was doing things to her...Her fur was becoming flames.Lively flames,but ones that did not burn her,nor the things around her.She met up with the wizard,who told her that she wasn't supposed to steal the heart of the fire for herself.He was mad,and wished to kill her,so she ran away again,this time followed by a crazy-ass bitch with a staff and a beard.
Everything went bad.She refuged in the mountains,again living like an animal.Only she wasn't a normal fox.If she wished for it,she could burn the heart out of...
...The predators she encountered.But,every once in a while,she had to flee to some other mountains,because she wasn't safe in one place for too long,because the wizard was still following her.
Years had passed since she stole the heart of fire from the dragon.She was just moving to another place,to a forest,when she came upon a talking turtle.Yeah,a talking turtle.The turtle knew her whole story,and Azlyn felt that she had answers.So she asked her if she knew why the wizard was following her.
"Of course."the turtle said."The heart chose you as host,and the wizard wanted it for itself.Now,the only way he can get it is by killing you.But you mustn't let that happen,young one.For the wizard would only spread chaos wherever he goes.You must destroy him,only then will you get what you want.You have learned how to control the fire,you have the power to kill him.That's your destiny."
Deep shit,man.Anyhow,Azlyn realized that the only way she could become human again was to destroy the wizard.So she waited for him to come.And he did.That's when a battle so magical happened,that it shook the whole forest,the trees were burned and animals escaped,scared.Seriously,that bitch was more magical than Harry Potter,more impossible than James Arthur!
But Azlyn won,and she got the wizard's powers for defeating him.She could now turn from human to fox whenever she liked.
When the Adversary came,she managed to get to the mundy world.Her ending was happy,but it wasn't an ending.
So yeah,here went everything.This fable was from Europe.I won't mention the country,'cause nobody even gives a shizzle!But yeah.Hope you liked it,because it took me a shit-ton of hours to write.Well,mostly because i pressed the wrong button and my comment got deleted.But,hey.I figured i should give it a shot.
Interesting, interesting. Basically the moral of your Fable story is to not trust creepy old wizard men that pose as goblins, haha. But hey, she can turn into a fox whenever she wants, that's probably a plus sign!
Okay,i'll just start with the basic shit,the appearance and personality and hobbies,then i'll write (Fuckit,imma use my username)A… more
Oh,damn,i forgot about the moral.But,you know what?Let's just leave it like this:
"Kids,you do not simply trust Gandalf-bearded hobos with paintbrushes."
It's okay,isn't it?Yeah,it's okay.Well,at least SOMEONE has read my post!I'm happy about that.D'you like it?
Interesting, interesting. Basically the moral of your Fable story is to not trust creepy old wizard men that pose as goblins, haha. But hey, she can turn into a fox whenever she wants, that's probably a plus sign!
I think your story is kinda the most awesome one here.I really love it!Plus,the morality is obvious here,and her sacrifice is impressive.Your fable is wonderful!

There once was a prince named Charming, who unlike the fairytales, never stayed tied to one woman for more that a short while. And although every Fable knew about this bad habit and tried their best to stay away from his path, some how his charm seemed to lure them in even if it were for just one night. That's what my mother told me, when I got older.
My name is Harmony Wolf. I am the daughter of the new North Wind.
This story, you could say, starts at the moment I learned how to shift. You see, I was born invisible, but she knew I was there. She knew, because she was the North Wind. She wouldn't dare call me a zephyr, although that's really what I was. She thought of it as a degrading term. I had 4 other siblings, all born with human qualities varying between our mother and father.
I wanted to find him. I wanted to see a lot of people I'd heard of, but she never took us to the mundy. She never took us to the Farm she always talked about, or Fabletown. She told us we didn't need to bother over there. Besides, I was still invisible at the time. I did what any curious child would with the powers I held inside of me, and began the shifting process. It took a long time to gather enough energy, since our shifting natures were substantially watered down compared to our mother's.
When I finally came to as a human, it was like a breath of fresh air. I looked as old as my mother, but was much younger. I left as soon as I changed, grabbing a dress from the closet and flying up into the skies. It felt so different than before; So exhilarating. I flew where I felt was the right way. I need to get to Fabletown.
Seven nights passed before there was no more snow on the lands. I flew closer to the ground, afraid of being spotted. The trees were getting sparser and roads more common. I walked on foot until I encountered the first real sign that I was at the right place.
"New York City: 25 miles"
"Well I'll be damned. I did go the right way."
I started flying again when the sun went down and reached the city by midnight. Even at night, it shines bright against the skyline and is busy with the Mundane. I was nervous that the blue streaks in my hair would be out of place but no one seems to be turning their heads in shock. In fact, some people are sporting their own colorful streaks and even have jewelry in places I never fathomed.
"Where might I find Bullfinch Street, sir?" I asked a man sitting against a telephone pole.
"Bullfinch? Hmm...I think that's in Manhattan, no? I used to know the streets better, but after retirement it all goes down hill...."
"Manhattan? Alright. I'll...I'll see what I can do to get there."
"Be careful, missy! There's alotta creeps out in the night. Grab a taxi if ya can!"
"Gotcha," and I left the nice old man.
Taxi's aren't hard to find. They're yellow and have checkered borders sometimes and the word "Taxi" is written on a little hat on top of the car. The first one I saw, I ran up to. But there were already people inside and the driver yelled at me to find another one. It didn't take any longer for another taxi to pop up. This one looked like it needed a little maintenance but it was better than nothing. I got in.
"Bullfinch Street, Manhattan, please."
"Alright. 50 bucks."
"I don't have money. Nobody told me I needed money!" I panicked.
"No money, no ride, sweetheart."
"Please, sir, you must understand!" I began to think what the old man said. There are alotta creeps out in the night.
"Listen. There was a creep following me down the street. Bullfinch is where I live, I...I have no way else to get there. Please!"
He looked at me with a sudden pang of pity.
"Alright lady. Only this one time, since it's late and my own wife was in your situation once, long ago."
"Thank you so much, sir."
He took me over to the exact street and stopped at the corner. The building, or rather castle, was so big, I couldn't imagine that many Fables living in one place! The gates were closed tight when I walked up, so I waited for the cab to leave before flying over top and landing softly on the other side. It all looked so peacefully quiet within the gates and I began to wonder if there was anyone at all living inside. The castle doors opened with a creek and the room flooded with moonlight from the sky. The quite literal child inside of me wanted to touch everything, but a tsunami of exhaustion swept over me faster than I could think. I never got tired as a zephyr, nor was I ever hungry. I fell over, weak onto the cobblestone floor.
This might be a multi-part tale. If you like it or have any criticism, go ahead and tell me. I don't mind. (This story is based off of what is currently going on in the comics, in case you don't understand certain things.)
I woke up in the air, staring at hundreds of tiny faces.
"Who is she? Obviously she's not a mundy, or she wouldn't be flying!" A man said.
"I dunno, but whoever she is, she didn't much think of wearing underwear! For God sake's, get her covered up!" An older woman exclaimed.
My face flushed red and I floated down to the ground. How long was I out? I noticed a ladder perched by the wall, presumably and earlier attempt to catch me. Some people looked excited while others looked annoyed.
A chubby white-haired man walked up to me, with round glasses and a blue robe on. I noticed through the door that the sun was barely up at all. Everyone looked sleep-deprived.
"Young lady, where have you come from? Are you from the homelands?" He asked.
"No sir. I'm from the North Wind's Kingdom. My name is Harmony." After I finished my sentence, my stomach made noises echoing the foyer.
"Well, you look very sickly. I'm Mayor King Cole, and this is Fabletown."
For the next hour I was treated to some breakfast, which I devoured in seconds, as well as dressed more appropriately. The same woman who commented earlier still seemed angry with me for being so, inconsiderate. King Cole told me she was Miss Muffet, and she's a little more conservative about things that most other Fables.
"Do I get to meet all the Fables in the fairytales, Mr. Mayor?" I asked with childish eagerness.
He sat back in the chair across from me and spooned another clump of oatmeal into his mouth. "I'm not sure what you mean by what you say. You've heard of our stories?"
"My mother read to us every night of all the fairytales, and told me about Fabletown and the Farm. I've wanted to come here ever since!"
"Who exactly, is your mother?"
"The North Wind, sir. Now when do I get to go to the Farm and meet the three little pigs? Or Haven, where King Ambrose lives with all the other cool Fables?"
He started choking on his oatmeal after I said that.
"We need to get you to (Cough) The Farm. Pronto! (Cough, cough)"
Passing the front entrance, I seen many other Fables I recognized from the stories. I could tell who some of them were; The boy who cried Wolf, one of the Crow brothers, even Ozma the witch! I entered an old blue pick-up truck and King Cole drove me out of the city.
Hours passed with no change in the scenery. I leaned against the window and began to think. For the first time, it hit me; I was homesick. I thought about my brothers and my mother, and of the servants and the other zephyrs who inhabit the mountain and the snow that covers the ground, and even the feeling of being invisible myself! I felt the tears rising to the surface and kept facing the window, meanwhile Cole sang along to some old music from I-don't-even-know-when. The longer I sat there the further the sun rotated over the sky and by night we were at the end of the long twisty driveway. A sign so small, I couldn't read it until we nearly passed it, said: The Farm. No Trespassing.
A cobblestone wall the matched the floor back in Fabletown went along the length of the road, and every now and again there were small openings and cracks on it. I few times I thought I spotted a wolf and some other creatures, but it was too dark to distinguish what they were. Soon enough the village center emerged from the hillside, and the lights from the windows illuminated a small portion of my vision. The truck stopped in front of a barn and puttered to a stop in the middle of the dirt path.
"We're here, Miss Wolf. Rose will take you to Wolf Valley."
"Rose? As in, Rose Red? Her tale is my FAVORITE one! Her and Snow White! Is Snow here to? And why am I going to Wolf Valley? I never learned to turn into a wolf, not yet actually. I was going to but then I-" He cut me off.
"You'll see when you get there. I need to call Fabletown in the meantime, and tell them I'll be home in the morning."
I stood still next to the door, watching people and animals walk by aimlessly, some goofing around and others getting on with serious business. The red-headed girl noticed me, and walked up with a bounce in her foot.
"I'm Rose. You must be that Harmony Wolf girl." She eyed me up and down,"You're not related to my wolfy family, are you?"
"N-not that I'm aware of. You have wolf blood in your family?"
"My nieces and nephews do. But just to be safe, I'm bringing you over. My sister won't let me in, but she might take you."
"Snow White? I get to meet her? Wow!"
"Uh, yeah. There's no big deal in that. Um. Let's go. I guess."
And we descended the trail to Wold Manor.
Another 40 minutes of walking over branches and through thick woods, and we reached the house. It was grand and had bright lights coming from the windows and for a second I thought I saw someone in the window.I didn't know Snow White had children, or that anyone had a life passed their fairytales. My mother didn't divulge into most of that, other than that they were living in their own corner of the world. I was a mixture of nervousness and excitement as she slammed her fist hard against the door a few times.
Snow White answered the door, and them began to shut it before she noticed me standing there next to Rose.
"Who's this you've brought her? You know I don't want you near me. Not as long as Brandish is still-"
"I know, I know sis. Listen. We've got a predicament, as Cole says. This here girl, she says she's from the North Wind Kingdom, and.."
I start tuning out their conversations and look passed Snow. A handful of little children stand behind her, trying to get a look at the visitors. A little blond boy, and a dark haired boy. A red haired girl. Then came an older looking Blond girl, shoeing the kids away. All but one kid. A dark haired little girl. And she looked angry.
"Mommy I need to talk to that girl," She said, pointing to me.
"What- What do you mean? Do you know her?"
The girl sighed, pushing though to me and looked up at my face,"I have to have a talk with you, young lady!"
Her tiny hands barely able to reach up to my ear, grabbed it with the grip of a powerful god, and pulled me into the house. Her pigtails bobbed while I squealed in pain as she took me to her living room and demanded I sit on the couch.
"Winter, what are you doing!" Snow yelled.
"Mom. I have somethings to explain. This is my daughter." She pointed to me again.
"What?! I don't...I-"
"Let me finish. I've kept it a secret for some months now. I am a lot more powerful than you think. Right now, I am a fully grown adult in the North Wind Kingdom. I've been that way for some time now. I'm in a lot of other places, but I won't get into that," she turns to me,"And you, my dear. You haven't listened to a word I said, have you?"
"I am kind of confused. You are my....mother? In little girl form? And I'm your daughter, but I'm in big girl form. And...I need to think a moment."
My mother sighs and sits next to me.
"Despite the whole, you know, "Breaking the rules" thing you did....You were very brave. And I was watching over you the whole time. For the most part you guided yourself. And I'm proud that you knew how to act in public without getting caught. You could have dressed nicer though."
We laughed, and I hugged my tiny child mother. Snow White stood there with her jaw wide open. I looked at Winter and she said," Now I'm getting my own lecture, as soon as my mom gathers her bearings.
And that was how I went to Fabletown and never met my father but met even better people: My family.
Just wanted to say, that I second his above comment as well! :P And that you can expect a positive future comment from me if you do consider making a future story for your Fable! Nice job on the drawing btw!
I'm glad you guys like the backstory! Thank you for the comments.
Very well-written story, I did love it, indeed! (sips wine) I do hope that you consider writing more for your character. I also understood 'some' things that you have typed in there as well, since I recently read the first 2 volumes of the comics ever since yesterday!
Oh, and I loved the part where she panicked a little, all while trying to act all innocent and persuade the Mundy driver to give her a free ride to the Woodlands. XDEMMYPESS posted: » [view original content]

In case you're confused as to why Rose isn't aloud over, the most recent issues, her and Snow had a falling out about a ton of things I won't spoil to you, and Snow is forbidding her children near Rose and stuff like that. I think Snow is being a little paranoid, but we'll see on further issues, lol.

Ah, I see. As much as I would love to buy the rest of the volumes and read all the way to the current issue, (finished the awesome 3rd volume yesterday) I unfortunately can't for now, but it's nice to hear what I can expect without major spoilers! And really nice twist to your story, Emmy! It seriously caught me by surprise with Harmony's mom being in child form, and therefore Harmony and Snow being super-confuzzled.

New Mexico Tech Student Dies in Nighttime Climbing Accident

SOCORRO, N.M., Feb. 12, 2007 – Michael C. Hogan, 20, a New Mexico Tech senior majoring in computer science, died early Sunday morning, February 11, of injuries sustained in a rock climbing accident which occurred at about 1 a.m. in San Lorenzo Canyon, a popular hiking and outdoor recreation area located about 12 miles north of Socorro.
Michael was a graduate of Rio Rancho High School, Class of 2004. His official obituary described him as "a highly spirited and creative person with a great love of life. He was an awesome son, brother, and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Michael is survived by his mother, Kathy Campbell of Rio Rancho; sister, Rebecca Hogan of Albuquerque; father, Patrick Hogan and wife Mary Ann DeBoer of Chama."
The fatal accident occurred while Hogan was engaged in an impromptu rock climb that occurred during a nighttime hiking and stargazing excursion with a group of fellow New Mexico Tech students and friends visiting from Albuquerque.
A preliminary report on the incident filed by investigating deputies with the Socorro County Sheriff's Department shows that Hogan fell about 70 feet to his death from a steep precipice while climbing. The report also notes that it appears alcohol was not involved in the accident.
Hogan was employed at New Mexico Tech as a resident assistant (RA) with the university's Residential Life Office, and also worked at the Tech Computer Center (TCC), where he served as a user consultant and helped teach a series of free courses the center offers. He was expected to graduate from the state-supported research university in May 2008 with a bachelor's of science degree in computer science.
"From what his friends and colleagues at Residential Life and the TCC have expressed on hearing of this tragic event, I can say that Mr. Hogan was an exemplary Tech student and a commendable individual who made a lasting impression on his fellow students and co-workers," said New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López.
"New Mexico Tech is a tight-knit campus community, and we all share in the loss of this exceptional young man," López added. "Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are extended to his family during this deep personal tragedy."

GNU less
GNU less is a program similar to more, but which allows backward movement in the file as well as forward movement. Also, less does not have to read the entire input file before starting, so with large input files it starts up faster than text editors like vi. Less uses termcap (or terminfo on some systems), so it can run on a variety of terminals. There is even limited support for hardcopy terminals.
Downloading less
less can be found on the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/less/ (via HTTP) and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/less/ (via FTP). It can also be found on the GNU mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.
Mailing lists

ALBUQUERQUE, October 6, 2004 – Acting Under Secretary of Energy David Garman formally announced the start of six major research projects in New Mexico at a press conference today. The projects are all being funded by more than $5 million in research grants provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Four of the new research projects, which are designed to develop the nation's oil and gas resources and protect water resources, will be conducted at the Petroleum Recovery Research Center (PRRC) in Socorro, a research division of New Mexico Tech. Federal funding totaling nearly $4,750,000 for the PRRC projects was garnered through the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
Two of the PRRC research projects have a scheduled start date of October 1, 2004. Another begins on January 1, 2005, while the other starts on April 1, 2005.
The projects, which are all funded for a three-year period, are listed along with their principal investigators as follows:
- "Aperture-Tolerant, Chemical-Based Methods to Reduce Channeling," funded for $1,199,903, principal investigator Randall S. Seright, PRRC senior engineer and section head (October 1, 2004 start date);
- "Treating Coal-Bed Methane Produced Water for Beneficial Use by MFI Zeolite Membranes," funded for $1,140,273, principal investigator Junhang Dong, PRRC researcher and assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at New Mexico Tech (October 1, 2004 start date);
- "A Customizable Fuzzy Expert System for Regional and Local Play Analysis," funded for $1,199,998, principal investigator Robert S. Balch, PRRC scientist and section head (January 1, 2005 start date); and
- "Improved Gas Flooding Efficiency," funded for $1,199,965, principal investigator Reid B. Grigg, PRRC senior scientist and section head (April 1, 2005 start date).
Acting Under Secretary Garman also announced that recent DOE grants have been made to New Mexico researchers affiliated with Correlations Company and Lovelace Biomedical and Environmental Research Institute.
Garman, who will also be available to field questions at the announcement ceremony/press conference, also currently serves as Assistant Energy Secretary under the Bush administration.

Yaas! I've been waiting for this.
Sweet! She looks awesome! Thanks for the review PD! Can't wait to get her and Swift Wind!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
Thanks Pixel Dan. Great review. I LOVE THIS FIGURE SO MUCH! November 15th feels SOOOOO FAAAAAAR!!!!!!!
They really did a great job on the figure. I like how the boots are now two tone gold instead of the metallic brown that was first shown at the SDCC.
I'll probably switch gems so I have a two tone shield with a blue gem.
One of my favorite things is how her chest emblem is now way more intricate and three dimensional as opposed to the first She-ra's emblem which was kinda flat and dull.
This is my MOST ANTICIPATED FIGURE so far!!!!! Ah the wait, the wait!!! Will buy 3 BP She ras!
I'd be curious to see who will be the first to remove She-ra's dress so that we get a look at how the new buck works. I'm particularly curious to see if I could do a Catra or Teela 2.0 with the new buck by just slicing a waist cut on their molded dress.
This one should sell out quickly. Quite looking forward to getting her.
Thanks Dan!
I hate BP She-Ra. Love She-Ra 2.0.
This is the review I've been most anxious to see... thanks for the great review and the different shots of her parts mixed and matched! Put me down for at least two, please.
I'm no PoP fan, but that's one great She-Ra figure!

Yeah...I'm skipping this figure. No interest in it.

I hadn't noticed that 2.0 is more curvaceous until you posted 1.0 with her side-by-side in profile. She looks crazy awesome, I cannot wait until November! Thanks for the review, Dan!
Paging Dr. Tallstar... Dr. Tallstar, please come to the front desk for emergency surgery.I'd be curious to see who will be the first to remove She-ra's dress so that we get a look at how the new buck works.

Nice review. Im not of fan of the new head but that doesnt matter because Im using the Fillamation head.
They seemed to do a better job at matching the skin tones than they did with Teela/BG Teela
Does this new She-Ra figure have the same new style gauntlet articulation that BG Evil-Lyn has?

Wow, great review and superb figure. Like you Dan, I didn't think I needed a new She-Ra (well besides the sitting on Swift Wind thing) until I saw her. The extra details add a lot, and I love all the swapping you can do.
Great Review Dan. Keep them comming. Can't wait for your Swift Wind Review
I'm getting two Bubble Power She-Ra's, One to make the Ultimate Filmation She-Ra and the other to keep as she comes.
Hey PD now you have to make an NA intro.
I really liked the POP one. You're only missing an NA one now.
Thumbs up, Pixie. :3
Does Galactus fart?
Thank you!!
Fun review!! I'm so glad you posted this today
I noticed that they didn't paint the feet two-toned - just the shin of the boot
Hopefully that won't be a running mistake. If it is, BOOOOOOOO on Toyguru, because that's not all that easy to miss, if your job is to check things like that. For you, Dan, it's an easy miss, especially when doing reviews for 4 new figures so close together, and then doing the editing, etc. So, I don't want to hear from Toyguru, "Hey! Well, even the reviewers missed it."
It's not the reviewers' job to quality control check the figures
ANYWAY, it's a great figure.
Now Mattel just needs to make Starburst She-Ra with similarly constructed, removeable Starburst Armor and Cape, over the new 2.0 Buck, with the vintage toy spiral design.
THEN we will be able to make several She-Ra's!!!
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra doll, Slamurai, Concept Snake Troopers, Slime Pit He-Man
Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Toy costume Catra, Enchantress, Kayo, Joya, Lt. Andra, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, Scrollos, 200X Sorceress, King Miro. Filmation: Adora, Marzo, Leech, Entrapta, Glimmer, Bow, Catra w/ Cat Form, Mermista, Moss Man, Kobra Khan, Whiplash, Multi-Bot
She-Ra finally got a white dress!
Maybe Marzo as an archenemy was the biggest thing to happen to Mekaneck, but as far as Marzo was concerned...it was Tuesday.
Great video, as always.
I am moving soon, but these videos really make me want to turn my MOC collection into a loose collection once I have more space.
Positive Transactions:
As buyer: boggs32, PaTrIcKfOgArTy, Dorko2, Shecky, Shenlon (2),

As seller: mikethedrummer, slgcmg, kngfu

EBay: StLouisStallions
Great review as always Dan. I can not wait for this new She-ra, she looks great. Hopefully she will stand better then my She-ra 1.0, who has been confined to a doll stand. She's like an old lady with walker, but I digress.
I was concerned about how the Filmation head would look on the new body but after Power Con and Dan's review I'm feeling good about it. She goes on sale 2 days after my birthday, so lets hope the WSOD is in a gifting mood when I'm tying to order her and Swifty.

Alameda is a city with character defined by our urban landscape. While changes in that landscape occur all the time, Alamedans have a right to a voice in the process that determines the path of those alterations.
What happened on Park Street on Thursday and Friday was jarring; the heart of our civic business district was clear cut, without any public notice. Given the city's history with tree removal, the concerns about Park Street cannot be unexpected. The lack of public notice is unacceptable.
While we understand that the City Council does not implement projects, you do oversee the execution of city policies. This includes stated goals for transparency, public involvement and meaningful notification for public projects. These were ignored in the actions on Thursday and Friday and now the council must act to correct this.
We the undersigned are asking the City Council to immediately take action on the following items:
- Commit to planting 20% mature trees: It may be true that the trees on Park Street needed to removed, however it is a City decision to replace them with scrawny twigs that will take years to grow to a meaningful size. The trees in the previous phase are still small and inconsequential nearly 5 years after planting. Other projects have planted large trees and our downtown shouldn't wait a decade for the benefits of this project
- Commit to a public planning policy: This project highlights poor consistency in planning project and policies in Alameda. The council needs to adopt a mandatory policy of public input at the beginning and end of all planning processes. The Sunshine Ordinance was a good first step, now it's time to take the next one.
- Accountability: The community concerns were easily foreseeable and Public Works has a history of proposing draconian actions for mature trees based on engineering assumptions, only to find non-invasive solutions when pushed by the community. It is unclear on whether the clear cutting of downtown was required. What is clear is that the public was cut out of the conversation. The way in which this occurred is unacceptable.
Sign the Park Street Trees petition.

CHICAGO, July 31 (UPI) -- The Chicago Business Barometer rose from June to July but the gain fell short of expectations, the Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday.
The business index, covering Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, regained a portion of what it lost in June when it slipped from 58.7 to 51.6.
The index, which indicates growth with numbers above 50, rose to 52.3 despite declines in new orders, employment and production.
Each of those components came in above 50, the Institute said. In contrast, the index for order backlogs rose but remained below 50.
Production and new orders both dropped to the lowest levels since April. Inventories came in with the sharpest contraction since November 2009.

Does anyone own this? A bad review from a WSI poster is the last thing that could prevent me from spending $200 on this.
I think you should match up the jersey with a nice pair of dark navy umpire shorts and some "white socks" with sandles to complete the look!
Pesonally, I would have a hard time forking over $225 for arguably the ugliest jersey in team or MLB history, however I can appreciate your love of nostalgia. Not sure if you checked e-Bay, but I haven't seen too many authentic throwback jerseys for less than $150.00.
Good luck!

Dr. Nancy Sonneveldt Miller, who is dean for the social sciences and a professor of education at Hope College, has received the seventh annual "Distinguished Woman in Higher Education Leadership Award" from the Michigan American Council on Education (ACE) Network for Women in Higher Education.
She was honored on Tuesday, June 10, during the network's annual conference, held at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
The award honors Michigan women who have distinguished themselves by providing outstanding leadership to women in their institutions, in their profession and in society at large. The award recognizes groundbreaking work on behalf of women that is outside the scope of the nominee's formal faculty or staff responsibilities. Honorees have distinguished themselves as advocates for women and catalysts for change.
Honorees are chosen from nominations made by the presidents or chief operating officers of member colleges and universities throughout the state. The Michigan ACE Network presently includes 45 member institutions, including public and private and two-year and four-year.
Miller is retiring at the end of June after serving on the Hope faculty for 40 years. She joined the faculty in 1968, and has served as dean for the social sciences since 1985.
The departments within her academic division include communication; economics, management and accounting; education; kinesiology; political science; psychology; and sociology and social work. She is also responsible for the college's CASA (Children's After School Achievement), PATH (Program for the Academically Talented at Hope), Project TEACH (Teachers Entering A Career through Hope) and Upward Bound programs, all of which are designed for local school children, as well as the intercollegiate athletic program and the CarlFrostCenter for Social Science Research.
Miller has served the college in a variety of ways, including as interim provost during 2001-02 and as a faculty representative to the Board of Trustees. She chaired the Hope committee that developed the college's MarthaMillerCenter for Global Communication, which opened in the fall of 2005. In 1995 she delivered the college's Baccalaureate sermon.
She was integral to the development of Hope's maternity/parental leave policy. She has also encouraged recruiting women, and takes pride in the fact that 50 percent of the faculty and administrative staff positions in the social sciences are held by women. Overall, at least 40 percent of Hope's faculty is female, up from less than 20 percent when she joined the faculty.
Miller is on the national board of Bread for the World. She has been a member of the Board of Trustees for Western Theological Seminary since 2001. For more than 30 years, she and her husband Phil have coordinated the Christmas Project for Bethany Christian Services. She has been involved with the "Breakfast with Baby" outreach program at Fourth Reformed Church since the program began.
Her past community involvement includes three terms on the Board of Education of the Holland Christian Schools. She has been an elder at Christ Memorial Church, and has served the Reformed Church in America in a variety of ways, including as an at-large representative with the General Synod Council.
She and Phil, who is a past member of the college's Board of Trustees, received the "Family Award" from the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area in 2001 and an Outstanding Volunteer Award from the West Michigan Association of Fundraising Professionals in 2004. She received the third annual Lakeshore ATHENA Award in October of 2007.
Miller is a 1962 Hope graduate. She holds a master's degree from the University of Michigan and a doctorate from Michigan State University. Prior to joining the Hope faculty she had taught at the elementary and junior-high level in the Wyoming Public Schools.
She and Phil have three grown children, Christopher, Derek and Melinda, and two grandchildren.

Metzelaars Makes Wooster Trip Special For Wabash Teamby Brent Harris • October 14, 2005 Share:
None of the 60 Wabash football players who boarded the buses to take the team to Wooster, Ohio had any idea there would be a slight detour in their Friday afternoon trip. The undefeated Little Giants took a break from their trip for Saturday's game to listen to former Wabash and NFL player and current Indianapolis Colts assistant coach Pete Metzelaars '82 and view the Union Federal Football Center, the Colts' practice facility.
Metzelaars, the offensive quality control coach for the 5-0 Colts, spoke to the team Friday afternoon at the end of the first of two practices by the NFL squad. (See photo album on the visit to the Colts practice facility.)
The Wabash players, with the number-two scoring defense in Division III, got the opportunity to watch members of the top defense in the NFL go through drills to prepare for Monday night's game against the St. Louis Rams. The Little Giants stood on the sidelines, silently watching Indianapolis All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney work on the moves that have made him one of the top players in the league.
"I tried not to look like a tourist, but it was so amazing to be in that facility, watch the end of practice, and to hear from Coach Metzelaars," said sophomore defensive lineman Justin Gardiner.
Freshman Josh Gangloff echoed those sentiments.
"This is unreal. I can't believe how big the players are," he added as kicker Mike Vanderjagt walked by in the parking lot as the team was departing. "He (Vanderjagt) is as big as our tight ends. You have no perspective until you see them up close."
After the defensive unit left the field, the Wabash players got the chance to step onto the field turf. After ten minutes of running and throwing mixed with a series of picture-taking, the team gathered around Metzelaars near the sideline.
"Something we talk about all the time with the Colts is getting better," Metzelaars told the Wabash players. "Don't worry about the game, don't worry about the scores, don't worry about any of that other stuff - focus and concentrate on you getting better every single day."
Metzelaars had the undivided attention of the team. Each player stood mesmerized by the surroundings and the 16-year pro football veteran who played in four Super Bowls with the Buffalo Bills.
"If you're improving all the time and you're improving throughout the season individually, then the team will continue to get better," Metzelaars said in his final comments to the team..
"As you approach this game with Wooster and go through the rest of the season, my encouragement to you is to hold yourself accountable and to get better every single day."
With that the 5-0 Little Giants boarded their two buses and returned their focus to Saturday's North Coast Athletic Conference matchup against the 4-1 Scots.

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) After cutting ties with coach Hans Backe and relieving general manager Erik Soler of his duties, the New York Red Bulls kept up their shakeup by waiving 10 players.
Among the players waived Tuesday were veteran midfielders Jan Gunnar Solli and Teemu Tainio, defender Stephen Keel and goalkeeper Bill Gaudette.
Solli came to the Red Bulls from Norway and played in 55 matches with three goals and 12 assists in two seasons. Tainio started 37 of 42 games over the past two seasons. Acquired from the Galaxy for a draft pick, Gaudette made 12 starts, posting a 1.33 goals against average, three shutouts and a 5-3-4 record.
The team also hired former Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh as sporting director after been ousted in the playoffs.

SOCORRO, N.M., Jan. 30, 2004 – When the New Mexico chapter of the National New Deal Preservation Association (NNDPA) undertook some restoration work on a 1930s painting by Gisella Loeffler, an Albuquerque art conservator discovered that on the back of the painting was another, unfinished work by the artist.
The painting being restored is "Mexican Dancers," and it is owned by and housed at the Joseph R. Skeen Library at New Mexico Tech. It is one of a number of such Depression Era paintings housed at Tech's main library.
The partially completed work, which depicts several male figures at a cockfight, was discovered on the backside of the "Mexican Dancers" painting. While the main outlines of the second composition are present, the finer details, such as the faces of the people or details of the roosters depicted, were never completed.
"We had no idea that the partial painting even existed," said Dr. Dal Symes, director of the Skeen Library. "It was only when the conservator removed the painting from the frame that the second painting was found painted on the back of the 'Mexican Dancers.'"
Kathryn Flynn, executive director of the NNDPA, noted that monies were scarce for everyone during the Depression, so it was not unusual for an artist to paint on both sides of any available and acceptable surface as they worked to perfect a creation.
"Other artists have shared that having canvases made available to them through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Art Project was a major asset and a joy for them," Flynn said. "This 'double painting,' however, is the first one we have found in our conservation activities."
Loeffler was a well-known New Mexican artist who began her career painting for the WPA Federal Art Project in the 1930s. She was born in Austria of Hungarian descent, and later moved to Taos.
Loeffler also has works in collections in Las Cruces and at the Carrie Tingley Hospital in Albuquerque. The style for which she is famous is reminiscent of the folk art of her native countries. She is famous for her use of bright colors, as well as for her illustrations in children's books. Much of her art depicts children.
The restoration of this painting is part of a larger effort by the NNDPA to catalog, preserve, and promote the artistic works of artists who painted in New Mexico during the Depression Era (1933-43), under the auspices of the nation's New Deal Federal Art Project. This WPA program funded the creation of a great number of fine public art, as a means of putting artists to work, while at the same time decorating new and old public buildings. The New Deal Federal Art Project was implemented in every state, along with many other similar programs.
Currently there are some 15 paintings sponsored by NNDPA for conservation in various communities and facilities around New Mexico. Other paintings have been conserved in previous years.
The NNDPA's funding comes from two divisions of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.
The State Historical Preservation Office provided for the condition assessment of "Mexican Dancers," and the New Mexico Arts Division provided legislative funds allocated to the NNDPA for the actual conservation work.
"These three entities and the Skeen Library are delighted over this new discovery, and we all feel like we got 'two for one' on this project," said Flynn.
The Skeen Library plans to photograph the unfinished painting and place the photograph alongside the completely renovated "Mexican Dancers."
"Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to exhibit both paintings simultaneously," Symes said, "since 'Mexican Dancers' is a horizontal composition and the cock fight scene was designed to be vertical."
The painting will soon return to Skeen Library, where it is part of the permanent exhibition.
NNDPA hopes this new find and information may help to spur other art owners to become aware of other New Deal paintings that have not been reported and cataloged.
If anyone is aware of other pieces that have disappeared from their original public sites, they are asked to please contact Kathryn Flynn by writing to P.O. Box 602, Santa Fe, NM 87504, or e-mailing her at email@example.com. Flynn's telephone numbers are (505) 473-3985 and (505) 690-5845 (cell).

Video Demo: Activation Energy
Energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. Unsurprisingly this is called activation energy. The video above shows the activation needed to make red phosphorus react with oxygen in the air.
A former brilliant student of mine, Hayden Parker, informed me that the head of safety matches are not made of red phosphorus. Science Theatre at Michigan State University explains.
A "striking surface" is made of sand, powdered glass, and a chemical called "red phosphorus". The head of a safety match is made of sulfur, glass powder, and an oxidizing agent.
This is why safety matches cannot be lit on any surface. The striking surface contains the red phosphorus and not the match itself.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Three UCSB men's volleyball players - Andy McGuire, Jake Rosener, and Matt Thobe - earned 2009 Academic All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) honors for their diligence off the court as well as on it. The announcement was made Friday by the league office.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must carry at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, must have competed in at least 50% of the team's matches, and must be at least a sophomore academically.
McGuire, a sophomore from Manhattan Beach, Calif., holds a 3.34 GPA while majoring in communication. He was UCSB's primary libero this past season. McGuire led the squad with 219 total digs and posted a .964 reception percentage.
A junior from Cupertino, Calif., Rosener played opposite hitter in 26 of 27 matches and started 25 of those. He was second on the team in kills and service aces. Rosener has a 3.21 GPA as a biology major.
One of just two seniors on the 2009 roster, Thobe hails from Westchester, Calif. The middle blocker has a 3.48 GPA in environmental studies and won UCSB's Golden Eagle Award for highest GPA on the team (for the second straight year). Thobe had the best season of his career, setting most of his career-highs in 2009.
McGuire and Rosener were Academic All-MPSF honorees in 2008 as well.
Stanford led all MPSF teams with seven selections. BYU and Cal State Northridge each placed five on the team, while Pacific and UC San Diego had four. Pepperdine, UC Irvine, UCSB, and USC all had three representatives; Long Beach State and UCLA had two, and Hawai'i had one player named to the academic squad.

Joomla 2.5 Plugins, Modules, and Components

Clearly this post was made a while ago, and I'm behind the times if I'm still running Joomla! 2.5.x. Regardless, when I go through the workflow you've outlined, I don't see any option for Extension Manager under the Extensions tab. I only see:
Do I have to be part of a specific user group to manage extensions?Any help is appreciated. Great article!

I verified Joomla 2.5 includes the Extension manager. Yes, if you are not able to access it, your group may not have access.

Hello mekan,
You would install it the same as any plugin. Is there something specific you are working with that has you stumped?
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
2014-03-13 9:07 am
For a plugin, the pages that it is active on depends solely on the code for that plugin. To set specific pages, you will need to customize the code for the plugin depending on your needs.

Hey Jeffma,

Hello Pranit,
If you'd like to install a Joomla extension to a specific page, this is going to depend on how the extension itself was written by the developer.
It might help to take a look at the Joomla extension types, for a general overview of how Joomla extensions work. Typically you'll be using a Module for a specific page, as these are the extensions used for page rendering.
You can navigate in the Joomla admin panel to Extensions > Module Manager, click on the Module you'd like to place on a specific page, then click on the Menu Assignment tab.
From the Module Assignment drop-down, select Only on the pages selected, then from the Menu Selection section select the specific pages you'd like that module to display on.
Please let us know if you had any further questions at all.

2014-03-12 12:57 am
But the main problem is how to install plugin on specific page...?
2013-09-18 8:40 am
Due to the way plugins work, it is something that is automatically added to each article. The specific setup instructions on this can vary based on the individual plugin, but all enabled plugins will be automatically placed within each article according to how they are set up by the plugin developer.

THEY are already an international sensation - thanks to You Tube - and now the Mona Lisa Twins are among the line-up for Wirral's fourth Festival of Firsts.
The Austrian duo will perform at the Concourse in West Kirby on the festival's opening day, Saturday July 5, and outside Chantilly's in Hoylake on July 12.
The 19-year-olds gave a taste of what Wirral audiences can expect during a launch for the festival at the Holiday Inn, Hoylake on Thursday.
Lisa told the Globe: "We haven't played the festival before, so we're looking forward to taking part next month."
Their repertoire features original material, as well as work by The Beatles.
Mona said: "We grew up working on music in the studio, and were influenced by many groups, including The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel. We are always writing new music."
Thanks to You-Tube, their music has reached a worldwide audience, as Lisa explained: "We have just reached three million viewers, which is fantastic."
The girls moved to Southport two months ago and say they have never been busier. They are booked for a number of festival dates over the summer.
They also appear on Billy Butler's Radio Merseyside show every weekend.
The girls are managed by Southport-based writer and illustrator Tim Quinn - who worked for Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee, working on his Incredible Hulk and Avengers comic books series.
He discovered Mona Lisa Twins by chance when looking for a present for his wife's 64th birthday.
Tim told the Globe: "I found a version of The Beatles When I'm 64 on You-tube by the girls. What they did with Paul McCartney's song was remarkable.
