Swooping, swirling flocks of thousands of starlings can only bee seen in northern Europe in the winter. This photo (1) was taken in Gretna Green in Scotland. Based in the UK, Green loves traveling to exotic locations to see many species of animals and birds, but his favorite locations to shoot are in his native UK. He has won numerous awards over the years, but finds the most delight in the current tour business he is helping with called "Nature Images." Through this program, he leads tourists to beautiful, nature sights in the UK to show them why he loves it. His interest in nature began because of his grandfather as a child, and has only continued to grow! For more on Danny: http://www.dannygreenphotography.com/pages/about.php

I have been masturbating for a few years now. Over the past few months, I have started to notice my hot little sister who is 14. She likes to wear sexy little thongs, and I like to sniff them, and wrap them round my cock, wanking off into them and cumming all over them.
Last week, I was in my bedroom wanking with one of my sister's sexy black thongs when she walked into my room. I was really embarrased, but she did'nt seem to be too bothered. She asked me if I had done this before and I said yes. I then got brave and asked her if she ever masturbated.
She said she had played with herself, but had never had an orgasm. I told her it would really turn me on to see her masturbate, not really expecting her to say yes. She was hesitant at first, but then she stripped down to her bra and panties, and my cock got really hard! I started to stroke my cock and my sister started to stroke her pussy through her panties.
We were both feeling very horny now, and my sister asked if she could stroke my cock. I let her stroke it and it felt so good. As she stroked my cock, I reached over and stroked her pussy through her panties, she was soaking wet now! I then slid my hand inside her panties and played with her clit, occasionally sliding a finger inside her pussy. She stated to moan and her breathing got quicker, and I could tell I was going to give my little sister her first orgasm! Pretty soon she tensed up and started to cum, she was still holding my cock and seeing her cum sent me over the edge. I shot 3 or 4 ropes of sticky cum all over my sister, it landed on her thighs and panties.
It was so amazing, I hope we can do it again soon!

LONDON (Reuters Breakingviews) - Prospective buyers of HSBC shares might question the upside for a bank that already trades at a chunky 1.3 times its tangible book value, a premium to European peers. Third-quarter results provided a rough guide for potential bulls. The message to incoming Chief Executive John Flint is clear: more of the same, please.
True, HSBC's adjusted pre-tax profit for the quarter was 1 percent lower than in the same period last year as costs grew faster than income. More significant, however, is the 6 percent year-on-year jump in pre-tax profit from Asia, the region that accounts for around 70 percent of HSBC's earnings. Robust economic growth there meant lending in the third quarter was 17 percent higher than a year ago.
HSBC's undiminished ability to attract deposits – savers' balances have increased by 5 percent this year – means it has plenty of spare ammunition for lending. The bank's loan to deposit ratio remains a relatively conservative 70 percent. Though it's strange to hear an institution founded in Hong Kong and Shanghai 152 years ago talk of a "pivot to Asia", the region continues to offer promise.
HSBC's large pool of dollar-denominated and sterling accounts is turning from a drag to a source of strength. The bank reckons each 25 basis-point rise in dollar interest rates in the United States and Hong Kong roughly yields an additional $330 million in net interest income. A similar uptick in UK borrowing costs would add an extra $106 million. As the U.S. Federal Reserve tightens, and the Bank of England prepares to do so, HSBC's lowly net interest margin of 1.63 percent should expand and revenues increase. That in turn will help boost the bank's return on tangible equity which, at 9.3 percent for the first nine months of 2017, is already close to its 10 percent target.
Flint, who formally takes charge in February, has scope to make further improvements. A strategic review might question the utility of having a Mexican bank. HSBC's 19 percent stake in China's Bank of Communications looks increasingly hard to justify. Yet these problems are minor when compared to the challenges faced by some of HSBC's European peers.
Before Monday, HSBC shares had beaten the STOXX Europe 600 Banks Index by 3 percent this year. Favorable economic tailwinds should give Flint scope to ensure further outperformance.

text: EMI8131, EMI8132, EMI8133 Common Mode Filter with ESD Protection Functional Description The EMI813x is a family of Common Mode Filters (CMF) with integrated ESD protection, a first in the industry. Differential signaling I/Os can now have both common mode filtering and ESD protection in one package. The EMI813x protects against ESD pulses up to ±15 kV contact per the IEC61000−4−2 standard. The EMI813x is well−suited for protecting systems using high−speed differential ports such as MIPI D−PHY; corresponding ports in removable storage, and other applications where ESD protection are required in a small footprint package. The EMI813x is available in a RoHS−compliant, XDFN−10 for 2 Differential Pair and XDFN−16 package for 3 Differential Pair.

A simplified schematic of a typical TLP system is shown in Figure 5. TLP I−V curves of ESD protection devices accurately demonstrate the product's ESD capability because the 10 s of amps current levels and under 100 ns time scale match those of an ESD event. This is illustrated in Figure 6 where an 8 kV IEC61000−4−2 current waveform is compared with TLP current pulses at 8 A and 16 A. A TLP curve shows the voltage at which the device turns on as well as how well the device clamps voltage over a range of current levels. Typical TLP I−V curves for the EMI813x are shown in Figure 5.

Westfalia Miniatures: The Second Breakfast
Die Halblinge sind zurück, und diesmal schicken sie ihre Merry Men!
The Second Breakfast
This range will permit you to build idyllic tranquil scenes of shire life, or add to your current war band. Whether you're into tending goats or firing cannons, there's something for everyone. Ankle-biters for all!
This project will fill a few gaps in our existing Halfmen Army and will add the extra bit of flair that every proper fantasy world needs.
We will again produce all the minis in resin as this permits cheaper prices for customers when it comes to postage. It also means really crisp details.
About the Halfmen
The first Halfmen project began with a few miniatures for a fantasy skirmish war band, but it quickly escalated into a full army of war-ready Halflings. These tough little butchers have true-to-form knightly armour and weaponry and would feel at home on the battlefields of High Medieval Europe. There's a smattering of fantasy thrown in for good measure.
Das sind die Pledges:
Bemalte Modelle gibt es auch zu sehen:
Die Kampagne läuft noch 9 Tage.

If you're into DiS-friendly bands / acts
does it automatically follow that you have what would generally be regarded as good taste in books / films?
For example, are there many people on here who are into, say, The National* but also read, say, Jodi Picoult or Marian Keyes or whoever?
Discuss, with examples.
*arbitrary example - not everyone on here loves The National, I know
I like dis freindly Killing Joke, Nick Cave, JoyDivision the cure, cocteau twins goldfrapp
/Radiohead etc.....I imagine that this fits with say..... Homer
well exactly
I wonder if there are (m)andy people who like Killing Joke, Nick Cave, JoyDivision the cure, cocteau twins goldfrapp etc... but also enjoy Jennifer Aniston films
- monoshono, TheoGB, and Royter-Hatfood this'd this
- Royter-Hatfood this'd this
Nah, I reckon not.
I have a fairly twatty, snobbish and fascistic attitude to music, but for films and books, I only baulk at the truly terrible stuff, your Dan Browns or films directed by Paul WS Anderson / late Micheal Bay.
I like to read stuff like Frederick Forsyth or Dick Francis, which I guess is the literature equivalent of stuff like Gangnam Style.
I like Joy Division so I like Len Deighton, rather than forsyth or innes
mind you I was so purile that or a while i was on Gauloise Disc Bleu
Gauloise were smoked in the books and were on a pic of the front of one of them (with a cup of black coffee and a gun (probably an S&W 38 snub nose
But look how pretentiously arty and literary these fags were
although the pretentiousness did not stop there
sobranie black russian were another of my favourates
ha ha
that's just as bad
I dont really like films
Find them really dull regardless of their content. I think I've enjoyed about 5 films in my entire life.oojimaflop this'd this
Dunno about good and that
but I guess it stands to reason that people who, urgh, scratch beneath the surface for music would do the same for other things
but then whilst I do listen to a lot of DiS friendly music I'm not necessarily averse to the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce or Britney, in moderation.
My taste in films/books is pretty similar so I've enjoyed books by Haruki Murakami and Charles Bukowski but I've also read every single Harry Potter Book.
- colon_closed_bracket this'd this
Slight side note:
I had this super-targeted Facebook advert the other day saying "if you like Boxer by The National then you might like this book" – but the book was about World War 2 and I couldn't really see where the National fitted into it at all. Worked to some extent though, as I paid it far more attention than I do most other Facebook ads.
because I don't think being into DiS friendly bands means you necessarily have good taste whatever that phrase means.
in response to you and hyg
i was toying with putting "good" in inverted commas - yeah I know it's subjective, obviously. not sure what the right phrase would be - critically-acclaimed? Pitchfork-approved? Poncy?
I don't think people who like 'DiS bands' have 'good' taste, I think they just have niche tastes.
And yes, in most cases, those niche tastes probably extend to books and films (people banging on about Michael Haneke, me banging on about Nabokov). But most people have niche tastes alongside fairly broad tastes (people getting worked up about the new Justin Timberlake album?) and that extends too.
In short, if you claim to like poncy music chances are you will be poncy about other stuff, but most people aren't so precious.
I thought i liked films when I was at uni
and tried to have a good taste like an utter try hard bellsniff, but I really cannot get with them.
Sitting down still watching something for hours doesn't seem to gel with me.
I don't think I have good taste in books either. Or music to be fair.
Earlier I opened a LoveFilm envelope to find a film called Abandoned.
It stars Brittany Murphy and Dean Cain. Bloody hell, Dean Cain. I'll excuse myself from any further involvement in this thread.
I think I'll just put it back in the envelope and return it.
I hate it when a film that you can't remember putting on your list turns up.
I swear they just put stuff on there!
We had The Town arrive recently. It was every bit as steamingly awful as you'd expect a clichéd film with Affleck being all blue collar would be.
The thing is, neither of us are particular fans of his and neither of us remember hearing about the film before let alone picking it.
There was another recently that arrived (can't remember the name) and we just sent it back.
I like big budget action films (if they're good), run of the mill comedies and fantasy fare. I have incredibly mainstream film tastes. And I barely read at all.
I think, for a while at least, DiS went through a TERRIBLE phase of music
All those fucking animal bands, like Grizzy Bear and Animal Collective and Frightened Rabbit and all the bands with Deer or Antler in their title.
Also at this time, everyone collectively stood around and wanked over the proverbial biscuit that was The National back catalog.
It's getting a bit better these days, and to be fair, most of the DiS albums of the year have been good.
Anyway, I READ THE WHOLE OF INFINITE JEST SO I'M MORE FUCKING INDIE THAN ALL OF YOU
i would say
there is a mild correlation
but nothing more than that
I really couldn't care less about books
sorry but they just do not interest me at all.
Films, I don't watch very many, therefore my taste isn't as refined as most peoples so I just know the usual 'classics' as well as enjoying the odd blockbuster. Because so many disers wet themselves over DKR I'm willing to bet I do not share the majority of DiS users taste in films... at least the blockbusters.
Fast 5 though, WHAT A FILM!
i liek the bit when he drives the car
and it goes VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!


text: The Supreme Court recently struck down parts of the Voting Rights Act, which required states with a history of racial discrimination to get permission from the federal government. The decision did not remove all restrictions though, and Texan lawyers are currently appealing for complete independence. I think that when the court revisits the issue, they will side with Texas and remove all restrictions. John Roberts has shown a desire to be an activist justice, but over time. His style is more gradual, in an attempt to be less controversial.

They just want to write their content. Quite contrary, using stylesheets require *less* planning than WYSIWYG. With a WYSIWYG approach the author/designer will have to plan the appearance in advance, then do the job. With a stylesheet approach, the author will do some analysis of document structure but will be free to play with the style at any time without planning. It is the stylesheet approach that allow authors just to write their content. -- Terje <email@example.com> | Media Design in*Progress Interaction makes editing Cascading Style Sheets easy...

Whether they're street drugs or psychiatric schoolroom drugs, retired National Football League star Reggie Berry says, "Neighborhood, beware."
He studied to become a teacher and, over the next several years, worked as a tutor and mentor in federally funded and operated programs to help inner-city children. In 1989, using personal funds, he founded the Los Angeles-based "Goals for Life" program, which helps youth realize their abilities, rise above barriers and achieve their dreams in life.
Then, as today, crime, drugs and illiteracy were the scourges of inner-city communities across the country.
In a recent Freedom interview, Berry zeroed in on the subject of drugs — of both the street and prescription variety — which have dramatically affected the black community. And he gave a glimpse of the actions he is taking through the "Goals for Life" program to bring effective change.
FREEDOM: You have long cautioned that cocaine is highly destructive not only to today's youth, but also to the culture as a whole. What makes you say this?
REGGIE: It practically wiped out the black middle class in the '80s.
Cocaine isn't brought into the community by the black community. Someone else is bringing it in there. And those who have leisure time are the ones who are using it. The effect it's had on the society is this: you have two million people in jail, and one out of every three black males is involved in the criminal justice system.
In the '70s a large middle class developed because they were allowed to go to school through programs like affirmative action and different programs for blacks to go to college. In the '80s, with the advent of cocaine in the community, it had a major adverse impact on the middle class in the black community.
FREEDOM: How would things have been different had cocaine not been introduced?
REGGIE: Things would have been different in a large way: You wouldn't have so many people in jail; you wouldn't have so many kids running around not knowing right from wrong; you wouldn't have such a poor educational system because it would have been easier for kids to learn in an atmosphere more conducive to learning; you would have had better teachers in the schools. There are so many things that would have been better if we hadn't had cocaine involved in the community.
When kids go to jail, everybody makes money. They pay more money for kids to go to jail than they do for them to go to school. The judges make money. The lawyers make money. The system is totally fed when they put a kid in jail.
They used to say that one in every three people in California had jobs based on war. Now one in every three people in California have jobs based on putting kids in jail. Kids don't vote.
REGGIE: As a former NFL player, I know that my responsibility is to tell kids that not everybody can be a pro football player. But everybody can be a good citizen.
To be a pro football player, you have to go through certain changes and one of them is to stay off drugs. We want to encourage kids and get them to understand that if they want to reach any goal that they want to achieve, they have to stay off drugs. They have to follow a certain course.
FREEDOM: Most people are familiar with the problems of young people getting into street drugs, but you have also encountered the problem of kids taking legal drugs.
REGGIE: Yes, I deal with kids who are at risk all the time. I've had kids that literally could not sit still. They have big problems: their parents put them on Ritalin, they're asleep in class, they're totally drugged. I talked to a doctor who told me that if you put kids on calcium and magnesium and take them off Ritalin, it will have a better effect on them.
And parents have done that, and they've come back to me and told me they've had extremely positive results. Every time I see them, they thank me.
FREEDOM: But you see the drug problem as much broader than that.
REGGIE: We work in the juvenile facilities with kids who do not have parents. We tell kids to stay off drugs because of what drugs do to them. When we talk about drugs, we don't just talk about marijuana and cocaine, we talk about all the other drugs that affect their lives from day to day — Prozac, Ritalin, all the pharmaceutical drugs.
For more information on Reggie Berry's "Goals for Life" program, contact him at (562) 698-1501.
Legalization, decriminalization, "harm minimization" .... today's political discussion about drugs has no shortage of strategies and clichés. Some have given up altogether on ending the drug problem, and seek only ways to minimize the harm drugs leave in their wake. While care must be given to addicts and to the drug-related decline of our communities, the only long-term answer is education and prevention. Only then can we have any chance of guaranteeing that our children, and their children, will be safe.
As a public service, Lead the Way to a Drug-Free USA distributes highly informative booklets that can be used by anyone to combat drugs with the most effective ammunition there is: facts.
Heroin: The most deadly and addictive drug: its history, how it affects the addict and why.
Ecstasy: The "new" drug is not new at all, its dangers have been documented for decades.
Cannabis: Propaganda that marijuana is "not as bad" as other drugs is false.
Drugs and children: A helpful guide for informing children about drugs — for parents, teachers and youth workers

Stearns provides conventional financing, in which mortgage insurance is not necessary if a borrower makes a minimum down payment of 20 percent of the new home's value; FHA loans, which require a minimum down payment of 3.5 percent; and FHA 203k, or rehabilitation loans, which offer extra funds for improving or renovating a homebuyer's desired house, as the company's website explains. Stearns also features fixed-rate, Veteran Affairs and adjustable-rate mortgages as well as U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural loans.
Homebuyers with high credit scores are eligible for conventional financing, while those with blemished credit records may qualify for FHA loans, according to Stearns. Rehabilitation loans suit applicants who plan to improve the homes they want to buy in small ways, such as by upgrading the electrical system or changing outdated fixtures.
Fixed-rate loans involve interest rates that remain consistent unless taxes and homeowner's insurance funded by an escrow account change in costs, notes Stearns. Eligible veterans and active duty military may purchase homes without making a down payment by obtaining VA loans, which have less stringent requirements and limited closing fees because the government insures them.
As of 2015, qualifying homebuyers who want to buy houses ranging from $417,000 to $2,000,000 in costs may apply for jumbo loans, as suggested by Stearns. An ARM loan is a good choice for borrowers who intend to sell or refinance their homes within five to 10 years.

Today, people want to sport tattoos that look and feel different for the usual ones. They want designs that reflect who they truly are, what their typical personality traits are they also want to use their tattoos to signify an important event or a person very close to their heart.
Here are five hot custom tattoo trends that are sure to give you that "edge" that you have been looking for in a tattoo.
Japanese Tattoo designs - Hello Kitty doesn't qualify as a Japanese tattoo, nor are Dragon Ball and Samurai Ninja Gaiden characters considered to be Japanese designs. What we are talking about here are Japanese letters. For example; Janet Jackson has a few Japanese tattoos in her wrist and belly. The one in her belly reads "discipline" while the one on her wrist reads "respect and equality". Since Janet Jackson is a gay rights activist, she sure knows what she's talking about when she had imprinted what she's fighting for in her carpal tunnels.
Japanese characters are perfect for getting the values you believe in get alive in your skin. Through various custom tattoo sites, you may have tattoo designers modify the characters to be soft and feminine or bold and masculine.Tribal - The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word tribal is the tribal dance. You can envision loud thumping noise along with wide and bold movements from the dancers garbed with tropical leaves and twigs while dancing around a bonfire.
Tribal tattoos have sharp edges, making them perfect for the nape and lower back. By creating a tribal tattoo design contest via any custom tattoo design site, you can receive hundreds of tribal tattoo interpretations based on your tattoo idea and personal preferences.
Celtic - Celtic tattoos are of European origin. These tattoos are usually composed of bold swirls and curls. Famous Celtic tattoo designs include armbands, clovers, and cross designs. If you would like to get hundreds of different take on your Celtic designs, just log on to any design contest site and create a design contest. Prize money awaits the tattoo designer's entry that is finally chosen as the winning design.
Hawaiian - Hawaiian tattoo designs are Polynesian in origin. Such tattoo art is composed of very heavy and intricate knot work. Only a few tattoo designers can execute Hawaiian designs perfectly.
Custom tattoo sites have hundreds of tattoo designers who can handle any Hawaiian knot work design. Hawaiian tattoo art for the female is expressed in various flower designs. Since Hawaii is the main source of almost all tropical flowers exported from the US, it is just fitting that Hawaiian women love imprinting flowers on their skins.
Butterfly - This colorful creature has an international appeal to it. There are also males who would like to get a butterfly's image tattooed on their skins. Despite its charm, butterfly tattoos have been so very common that such design doesn't attract that much attention anymore.
Log on to the custom tattoo site of your choice and create a contest for the best butterfly tattoo. Try and provide the designers with unique ideas that can be incorporate into the design to make it more personalized and different. For example; an alphabet or a date that holds a special place in your life. In just two weeks, you will be able to view hundreds of butterfly tattoo interpretations. You will surely find one butterfly custom tattoo design that will stand out from the rest.Hosting a tattoo design contest is a great way for any tattoo enthusiast to get some of the best and original designs. When you plan to start a contest, you should provide some specifications about the design in terms of its size and color scheme. If you want the design to convey a certain feeling or meaning, specify that as well, so that the participating designers can start working based on your details.
Tattoo design contests give you the opportunity to have as many custom designs as you want to choose from at a very competitive price. This is the biggest advantage since custom tattoos are very expensive as compared to the regular designs offered by the tattoo studios. Also, by hosting a contest you get the tattoo stencil for the design finally chosen by you and as soon as you make the payment for it, it becomes your property. You therefore become the owner of a one of a kind tattoo design that you can flaunt on your skin or use for other business purposes.
An effective way to get a good response to your tattoo design contests to post it on the internet on your own website. This way a large number of tattoo designers will get to see it and will register for it. Most designers are on a lookout for contests on the internet to find a platform where they can display their work and get recognition in their field. For them, it is also a way to earn good money and know the works of some well-known and recognized artists.
Many websites encourage such contests at their portal so that they can avail the services of these artists. They host contests and invite tattoo designers to participate by registering themselves with them or by placing banners at various strategic points in local areas. People who come to them for finding various types of tattoos often get attracted to these competitions. While interacting with the tattoo designers, they come across unique designs and most often than not end up ordering one for themselves.
An individual only holds such contests if it is going to benefit him in some way or if he is looking for an exclusive tattoo for himself. The fact remains that the best designs are only created by talented designers in such contests and for this, it is imperative to get the word around to the right kind of tattoo artists.
If the website who is hosting a tattoo design contest is interested in advertising client's new business venture, he or she could also put out a press release in website's newsletters and also on the radio. If the contest holder permits the radio station to offer an award on air, there will be a lot more participants willing to go for it as this will give them a huge amount of publicity too.attoo design contests are gaining huge popularity among tattoo enthusiasts these days with the rising trend of flaunting custom tattoo designs. Celebrities from the sports worlds, fashion industry and Hollywood are coming up with tattoos that display their success, despair, budding relationships and even break ups are fast catching people's eyes. This has led to a healthy competition between tattoo artists as they are getting requests to create designs that are unique to an individual's taste but also in line with the latest tattoo trend.
Not only are such competitions convenient means to discover fresh and unique custom tattoo designs, they also serve as a platform for the tattoo designers to showcase their talent and earn good money. If you are a tattoo artist who engages in such online challenges, take into consideration these five tips to keep you ahead in online tattoo competitions.
Stay creative - Just because the idea is not originally yours, it doesn't give you the right to dish out unoriginal artwork. The people who set up tattoo design contests know their stuff, and believe me, they know the meaning of the word "unoriginal art". Don't just join an online contest for the sake of monetary gain. You are a tattoo designer because you love what you do and you are good at your chosen field. Don't let greed and love of money ruin your artistic expression.
Stick with the prize - This means never charge extra. Almost all custom tattoo sites have already become popular web destinations for tattoo design contests. Contest creators may stipulate prize money from 35$ to 500$. Winning $35 by submitting a custom tattoo design is a pretty decent amount. Whatever amount you win, never ask for more.
Be knowledgeable with different tattoo styles - As a tattoo artist, you should hold yourself responsible for training yourself in various tattoo forms such as Celtic and Tribal. If you're only good at making butterfly impressions why not expand your expertise by training with other zoomorphic designs. Moving away from your comfort zone will allow you to evolve into a much better artist.
Be open to online criticisms - The person who created the online challenge is free to leave comments about the piece you have uploaded. If you don't like what he said, don't get your war face on and engage in an online testimonial battle against the person who has the power to give you the prize. Take all criticisms constructively. These guys are not talking about your personal life, they are commenting about your artwork. So to win a tattoo design competition, you need to stay humble.
Stay connected with the person who chose your design - If ever you got to be chosen among the hundreds of entries; do not congratulate yourself too much. That same person who chose you as the winner might hold another online tattoo contest in the future. Instead of pulling a "now you know me now you don't" act, stay connected with the person who spearheaded the contest. Follow up on him after having your tattoo imprinted on his skin. Who knows, he might choose you again on his next contest after recalling how sincere you have been in dealing with him post-competition.As tattoos become more and more popular, there are newer concepts like tattoo design contests that are gaining a lot of momentum. There are many contests that are held both offline and online. These contests are aimed at attracting interested and budding tattoo artists who are looking for an opportunity to hone their skills in the area of tattoo designing. But there are some things that you should know about contests.
The most common questions that are asked about tattoo design contests are discussed below.
1. First and foremost, you should inquire about the organizers of design contests. It could be an individual wanting a custom design or a third party seeking designs for its client. There are many online forums that hold these contests at regular intervals.
You must inquire about the organization's credentials and their past record of holding contests. This will tell you about the kind of money that the contest holder offers, promptness with which the payment is made and whether the amount paid is same as promised at the start of contest.
Only after you have gathered enough information about the organizing portal, you should progress further.
2. The second most common question asked by the participants is about the prize money offered by the tattoo design contest holders. You should know if the rewards proposed by the organizers add value to your profile as a tattoo artist or not and if the money is worth the effort in creating the design asked for.
Most of the time winning a tattoo design contest means a new feather in your cap as a tattoo artist, and a contract in some form that will help you progress professionally. Another common form of prize is a cash prize or gift vouchers. These are the explicit benefits of winning a design competition, but you can take the advantage of many implicit ones too, offered by the contest holders if you are taking part in an online tattoo design contest. Since it is occurring online, there will be hundreds of people all around the world who will see and appraise your creation.
3. Next, you should ask about the rules, regulations and modus operandi that a tattoo design contest follows. You should be well versed with those in order to perform well. If there is a particular theme, try to get a basic idea about it to be in sync with the contest holder's expectations from the design. The terms and conditions of our tattoo design contests are generally easy to comprehend and follow.
4. You should also know whether the organizers are looking for participants with some professional experience and particular designing skills. This website holds contests that are mostly open to all, as they encourage creativity. Passion for the art is the most basic criteria which one should fulfill, if one wants to do well in a tattoo design contest.
Often people want to know if there are different types of tattoo design contests. The answer to that is yes. There are some contests where the client's choice is final. There are others where the winning design is selected by voting by the members of the site or the design that gets the highest bid and like that. In some other forms of competition only registered members may be allowed to participate.
However, in any type of contests, client specifications are the basis of a brilliant tattoo creation.

MVP Watch: The Final Results
While other sites and analyses may look at standard statistics like yards per carry and completion percentages to determine the best player in the league - the MVP - we like to dig a little deeper here at numberFire. We like to use our favorite metric, Net Expected Points (NEP), and the various types, depending on the position.
Since common numbers such as yards, completions and touchdowns don't tell the whole story about a player, we can use NEP to truly see who's separating themselves from the pack. We can find the players who actually are contributing the most points for their respective teams, dubbing them the most valuable in the league.
Because this advanced metric alters tremendously depending on the position being analyzed, we'll look at each of the skill positions - not all of them as one group - individually to determine the most valuable player at each position. You will see higher NEP values for quarterbacks and receivers than for running backs due to the nature of their production.
For the last time this season, take a look below.
The Final Top-5 NEP Performers By Position
Quarterbacks: Peyton Manning – Denver Broncos
Season Passing NEP: 278.52
NEP per pass: 0.41
This award has belonged to Peyton since Week 12, if not sooner. It was really just a matter of how much he would win by. He will certainly win the actual MVP award with the way he finished the season, too.
In the past two weeks, Manning increased his Passing Net Expected Points (PNEP) by nearly 42 points, a total only 13 other quarterbacks exceeded this year. He also beat the next closest quarterback, Drew Brees by 103 points (6.44 points per game). Manning did it all, setting records for passing yards in a season, passing touchdowns in a season and our own Passing NEP in a season – and that was all in 15.5 games.
In addition, Manning contributed 0.41 points per pass, the highest efficiency in the league. The next closest? Josh McCown – and he only started five games. For some comparison, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers both had sub-0.30 points per pass. It may be a long time until anyone reaches Peyton's record-setting numbers again – unless he does it himself next year.
Better Luck Next Year
2. Drew Brees: 175.57 Pass NEP, 0.26 per pass
3. Philip Rivers: 162.80 Pass NEP, 0.28 per pass
4. Russell Wilson: 74.66 Pass NEP, 0.17 per pass
5. Tony Romo: 70.70 Pass NEP, 0.12 per pass
Running Backs: LeSean McCoy – Philadelphia Eagles
Season Rush NEP: 37.12
NEP per rush: 0.12
Despite strong showings in Weeks 14 and 15, DeMarco Murray couldn't soar with Eagles, as McCoy won this year's running back MVP award by a decent margin (in addition to leading the league in rushing yards). Remember, our award factored in just rushing metrics, not receiving.
After Week 13, McCoy and Murray were starting to separate themselves from the pack. Murray's arrow seemed to be pointing up, but McCoy swooped in and stole the award as he also led the Eagles to the NFC East division title. How did McCoy win the award? Volume plus efficiency.
Shady was one of only two different backs to carry the ball over 300 times this year. The other was Marshawn Lynch (4.81 Rush NEP), who didn't crack the top-five standings all year.
It was more than just volume for McCoy. Among running backs with at least 200 carries, he also had the best efficiency mark at 0.12 expected points per rush. Murray's efficiency slipped over the last two games, but he was still right behind McCoy in that respect. McCoy also had the best Success Rate among back with at least 200 carries at 51.3%, meaning he turned over half of his carries into positive NEP gains, which is incredibly impressive for a running back, let alone one with such high volume.

3. Knowshon Moreno: 17.37 Rush NEP, 0.07 per rush

5. Fred Jackson: 13.90 Rush NEP, 0.07 per rush
Wide Receivers: Anquan Boldin – San Francisco 49ers
Season Target NEP: 88.76
Reception NEP per target: 0.93
The first thing to keep in mind with these metrics is that Target NEP shows how many points a receiver is adding for his team on all targets, whereas Reception NEP looks at receptions only. The Reception NEP per target, in essence, shows us efficiency.
By grabbing nine receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown against his former team, Boldin kept the top spot among qualifying receivers and is going home as the 2013 numberFire receiver MVP.
Boldin isn't the flashiest receiver out there and is fairly quiet. He helped the Ravens win a Super Bowl in 2012 and came to San Francisco where the 49ers were hoping he was the missing piece. After a great Week 1 showing, he faded for a few games while team had to re-focus on the run game and get Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree healthy. Apparently it worked, as Boldin received less attention from defenses and more attention from Colin Kaepernick. I stated two weeks ago Boldin needed to maintain his Success Rate to win this award; of the 15 passes he caught in weeks 16 and 17, only two weren't turned into a positive NEP gain.
Better Luck Next Year
2. Demaryius Thomas: 83.02 Target NEP, 0.92 Reception NEP per Target
3. DeSean Jackson: 76.87 Target NEP, 0.87 Reception NEP per Target
4. Josh Gordon: 70.43 Target NEP, 0.87 Reception NEP per Target
5. Antonio Brown: 70.15 Target NEP, 0.72 Reception NEP per Target
Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham – New Orleans Saints
Season Target NEP: 56.74
Reception NEP per target: 0.84
Of all the skill positions, the tight end race was the closest, but there will not be any recounts. Coming in at 0.58 Target Net Expected Points ahead of Julius Thomas was who we all expected: Jimmy Graham.
While Graham didn't catch a pass in a game earlier in the season, he didn't miss any contests. Orange Julius gave his best effort though contributing 7.24 points on all targets over his last two games compared to Graham's 4.72 points. While Graham wasn't the most efficient tight end in the game this year (that was Vernon Davis), he did have the highest Success Rate of the top tight ends (90.7%), keeping him at the top since Week 9, never looking back.
Better Luck Next Year

5. Jason Witten: 44.46 Target NEP, 0.70 Reception NEP per target
