>>10055672>bad guys are going to drug Judy, Jack, or both while they are on a mission in order to have Judy cheat on Nick. All so they can convince Nick to join the big bad organization after the betrayal.>drugged rape sex>babies are obviously involved due to the fic in question>"this is the best way for a interspecies couple to have children"Is this, dare I say it, THE new King of Feels?
I'm in the mood to lewd tubedudes, so suggest a tubedude to lewd. For now I have two votes for Travis.I will get to it after work.For now, have this lewd tubedude.
>>10064301Only dudes?
>>10064307Ok, this other post is you want lewd tubegirls.Tell me who.
>>10064284wtf with this fandom and rape babies
>>10064322Pic related? Or maybe a Ms Otterton in a lewd Judy uniform (ripped tights)
>>10064301Percy making a man out of Hugh?
>>10064301Boney_M's ermine.He doesn't have a set design, but he says it looks close to the "lady with an ermine" picture.
>>10064371Siarl?He has a design, I've drawn it.And I don't know if Boney is a-okay with lewding him
>>10064284Considering that Judy has basically been wanting Jack's dick this whole time in the fic, I doubt they will consider it rape and more of a drunken/drugged mistake, depending on how the bad guys drug them. The drugging also makes me convinced that the fic will end with Nick learning that, forgiving Judy, and they live happily ever after raising her and Jack's kids.I am honestly curious of how the author will write this; Jack has been Judy's pseudo-boyfriend for the majority of this fic. She snuggled and nuzzled him while Nick was in prison for false charges, thought about what it would be like to be with him while at Nick's birthday, etc. So I wonder how she will react after the cheating, since she "loves" Nick so much, and how much she will regret being with Jack who she has been twiddling her thumbs going "Oh Jack~" around. Someone a while ago mentioned that there was a teaser before the fic was posted, and the scene was Judy trying to stop Nick from going to the bad guys. Nick hated her, and Judy offered her neck, going that she couldn't live without him. I just expect Nick not to kill her, leave to join the organization, and for Judy to run into Jack's arms "for comfort".
>>10064453I am 100% fine with it.
>>10064511Are you... a ghost!? Weaver said he killed the Boney!
>>10064534That is not dead which can eternal lie, and so on.
>>10064322>tubegirlscan we call them "tubedudettes"?
I want tubegirls with dudetubes.Like Martina.
one more time with correct file...bailey portrait without the hair...hair is still wip
>>10064511And lo, it shall be.Sure it is strange to be the first to draw and then lewd an OC>>10064658Sure>>10064688Very noice, FF, I always love the cleanliness of your lines.But I will wait until the hair and shadows are done before issuing a final judgment
>>10064707>Sure it is strange to be the first to draw and then lewd an OCB-be gentle
>>10064707I can't promise shadows because I suck at them. But I think you'll be pleased with the hair either way.
>>10064137 (YOU)Damn, now that I'm awake I do some second proof reading and I can't believe how many I missed last night. Sorry to anyone if your fun was ruined because of my lazyness.
Hey check it out, I believe everything on the internet:https://youtu.be/GZy49dANBNcZootopia Land is totally happening meaning that Zootopia 2 is literally confirmed.
>>10064732If you have some suggestions/kink that you want to see I am more than welcome to draw them (except ridicolous things like vore, obviously).It is your OC>>10064744Mmm, the best way for shadows would be searching for the appropriate colors (i had a nice image about those, but I can't find it).However one can use a simply Multiply layer (or more than one) and then adjust the intensity.The effect can be very nice. Clearer edges for clothes and long fur, more "noisy" for short fur and other fuzzy surfaces. Use pen and/or the brush.I use as example this pic Rose drew, I hope you can forgive me if it is not 100% Zootopia related, but I didn't find a better example. Rose, if it is a problem posting this here, I will delete it.Also have this (long) tutorial:https://design.tutsplus.com/articles/color-fundamentals-shading--cms-20549>>10064840Noice
>>10064808I was going to point out how there were "tree vixens" and I had to google what species were Tree Foxes, but since you're self-taught, I thought it would mean.Anyways, it didn't ruin any fun at all, I liked the story and most typos do is confuse you a bit at best. I love reading your stuff.
>>10064855>If you have some suggestions/kink that you want to seeI'd be happy with pretty much anything, but the character would work best with shamelessness, curiousity, and relative innocence and inexperience.
>I finally go to sleep after 25 hours>The entire thread is flooded with posts about coffee, which I love>Wake up>It already turned into shitposting and people got sick of itGod damn it.
>>10064865>shamelessness, curiosity, and relative innocence and inexperience.I am even more interested now.
>>10064507yeah i remember that teaser, since i couldnt find it anywhere i assumed the author canned the idea since it was too dramatic and ruined judyxnick relationship for kids, but now im starting to see maybe that was the exact thing the author wanted. the only thing for sure is that it will end wildehopps since every few chapters the author repeats that they are "very into wildehopps", which lately has been a massive red flag for fics for anyone who enjoys wildehopps. a shame, i feel this story would benefit more from being savagehopps since it's message is going down the drain for the sake of drama anyway
>>10064861Thanks! Yes, that was a weird thing. I meant to write "three vixens" and I still did the mistake twice.Most a the tribe Wilde is made up by regular Red Foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) with a few exception.
>>10064865>shamelessness, curiousity, and relative innocence and inexperienceMmm, I can think of something...>>10064883>>10064937>Not using best anime coffee-related scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcQFBdLNvZU
Hey, so... this is late-ish, but then it's still within 24 hours of the actual TT day, so I feel good.I just finished the rough draft of "The Crickets and the Rabbits". I've had a really hard time with this theme, but I think I've at least got the good gist of a solid story.Link: https://pastebin.com/e0BpHRqSSynopsis: "After the bad weather cuts out the power to the Hopps' household, Nick Wilde decides to make up a story to entertain the young rabbits."Please take a look!(Image somewhat related: I don't have something with rabbits and crickets [the chirping creatures], so have rabbits playing cricket.)
>>10064994Note: This is based on me thinking about children's stories lately, particularly what it means to compose a good one, and wanting to write something that's reflective of that.Since this was, frankly, rushed and more than a bit odd, I know it needs work, and I might even toss it depending... but any feedback would be great.
>>10064994That synopsis it TOO DAMN CUTE!
>>10065011>>10064994>Children story time>Nick big brother/uncle for Hopps kids>PseudoOh fuck, gotta give it a read when I get back.
I'm just laughing my foxy ass off, because someone shared Zaush big gay nick comic on tumble a week ago, and it has 16 likes and 2 reblogs in total.It's the one of the least liked/shared nsfw zoot content.It fills me we joy.
>>10065079Are you sure it hasn't shared before by other person? It's still furry porn.
>>10065089I only used two tags in the search>zootopia>nsfwI have scrolled down on the list arranged by popularity.If it exists, it must be hidden from the search engine.
>>10065089checked about, apperantly furries don't like to use the #nsfw tag.It can be found page by page here and there by other people, labeled as "zootopia sex" and other stuff... (but still 300 notes top is what it gets)also what to expect from fans who argue with>FYI This is not Zaush this is Adam Wan
Does anyone have that height comparison with Judy, Gideon, and Nick?
>>10065265Gideon is perfect dick sucking height for Nick.
>>10065265I have this
Was discussing Zootopia with a friend and got to talking about cartoon we used to watch in our youth like, the 'Animals of Farthing Wood';https://kimcartoon.me/Cartoon/The-Animals-of-Farthing-WoodBit corny now that I go back to it.
>>10065265I made this
>>10065307I think Judy is actually shorter than 2'6" because Emett Otterton is 2'4" and Mrs. Otterton comes up to about the same point on both her husband and Judy.
>>10065265Gideon BIG
>>10065298farting woods sounds like a fetish comic
>>10065288Now I think about I never see these two together despite both of them making a major turning point in Judy's life. I even forget they are both Foxes.
>>10065363I mean, Gideon is only technically a fox. Barely.
guys just discovered this comic, it's so good, wonder what you think about it:https://e-hentai.org/g/1078358/f398c5d2bc/
>>10065397 (YOU)I meant to post the websitehttp://www.scurrycomic.com/
>>10065327Actually Mrs. Otterton' head comes a little above Emmitt's shoulder, while it is a little lower compared to Judy's. Also the bun has a bigger, less flat head. This could give a couple of inches over 2'4'' (7% bigger).However I can't say for sure, there is always some error, especially considering that I don't have images for a direct comparison (curse you, flexible tubes, why always bending?).This very raw and fast comparison that I made in five minutes makes me believe even more that Judy is a little bigger than a male otter. I used Mrs. Otterton's head as a reference size
>>10065335(You) had me going there for a second.I hate it when I make spelling mistakes, but it's all good.
>>10065438Anon, Judy is standing on her toes in that shot. About a second later she drops down onto her feet properly which puts Otterton right under her chin. She's still bending a little, which as you said distorts the comparison a bit (god damn rubber spines) but it gets a little closer.
>>10065438>>10065483and here's the Otterton family photo for comparison.
>>10065483>>10065489Yes, I know she is standing on her toes, for that I said it was a very raw comparison.However look at the images you posted. Judy is bending forward, both with her head and her back, and she had bent knees.In the other pic instead Emmitt is standing very straight, and still the other otter reaches his mouth.I think a better comparison, with similar poses, can be done by pic related. Here you can see that Mrs. Otterton is not much smaller than her husband (at least compared to Judy)
>>10065412This is pretty good (especially the art), thanks for the link anon!
>>10064969>Not using best anime coffee-related sceneThat's also one of the best SoL animes in general. The follow up scene is 200% accurate for homebrewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAzTxzEeptM .>This is a good cup of drip.

Another lonely night. I crave for some gay Nick.
>>10066111It's an overrated iphone commercial, we don't talk about it
>>10066154>Wanting a fox, 99% of the fandom wants as hetero for the bunny to be gay just for youAnd you wonder why you are lonely.
What bands did Judy or Nick listen in their youth? I kind of think Nick listened to Pink Floid.
>>10066253>Nick>Not linkin park like an edgy teenager raised by a single mom and a social reject with trust issues >CRAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIN
>>10065708Titanic made 2 billion but it didn't get a sequel.
>>10066282I kind of like the idea that his mother was listening only to classic music when Nick was at home and when he was out she immediatly switched to death metal.
>>10066343>>10066352Damn 1 sec too late.Anyway it did get its sequel and it ended horrible. Can't wait for Hindenburg II: Revenge of the Airship
>>10066194Can I have the bun then? I'm good either way. Foxes just have a slender figure I like
>>10066352>>10066366Well, I stand corrected. But given the schedule Disney has released so far we wont see it for at least half a decade.
>>10066387Use her wisely
>>10066467Buns are for cuddles and foxes are for lewding. Or was it the other way around?
>>10066476It goes both ways. Lewd the Bunnie hug the Fox, hug the Bunnie lewd the Fox, it dosen't matter.
>>10066476You should not lewd bunnies. It's not healthy for them
>>10066512I beg to differ.
>>10066512You mean its not healthy for the lewder. Most of them end up completely drained of their fluids.Bully your bun before lewding. It might save your life.

We need more smoll mammals INSIDE big mammals
ahem, thotsi am speaking to you
>>10067099Like young Nick's dick inside his mother?
>>10067108Yes? How can I help you?
>>10067096I really liked their comic revolving around Nick; most of their comics are comfy and don't stray too much into OOC territory, but that one specifically felt like it captured his character very well.
>>10067145Which one?
>>10067099Now you're just asking for a vore dump.
>>10067189This applies so readily to so many fics
>>10067189Why is Nick the fandom punching bag?
>>10067296Because he's the "damaged" one
>>10067161nono, I think he wants "unbirthing"
>>10067296Because everyone wants to self insert and save Nick because he's "damaged" They want to make Judy into LITERALLY HITLER who doesn't deserve him so they feel justified in their fantasies about taking him for themselves. Jack Savage's entire existence revolves around creating an asshole who'll hurt Nick and remove Judy from the equation in the fandom
By OJ and Mead
>>10067099I respectfully disagree.
>>10067145The "does Judy has space for me?" one? I liked it, you could argue that behavior was OOC though. Still, it's a very honest fear especially when we consider them after Nick joins the ZPD.
give requests please thanks
>>10067160The Nick Wilde comic from them that is about 100 pages long? It covers "in between" scenes of the movie and Nick's thoughts during certain parts. From Nick tricking Judy into paying for the jumbo pop because she had the fox repellent, to getting angry on her behalf when some guys were talking bad about her during the savage scare; even the cliche "I can't be with Judy because I am a fox" didn't feel that out of place, since he had become more emotional over the course of the comic, but most likely still had insecurities here and there.>>10067189>Torture object of this fandomNick really fucking is, he gets the shaft so hard and so often he probably knows what his own shit tastes like at this point. It is always something; cheating, Judy being with someone else first, getting the stuffing beaten out of him, Judy's family hates him, falsely accused of something, etc. Even more annoying is that, any of these things can be happening, and Judy usually still has some happiness while her best friend is suffering. Sure, she can be hurting for him, but she generally has the better end of the deal the majority of the time.

>>10067296I dunno, but most of the time I see a relationship fic it goes:>Nick and Judy are alright>Judy does something shitty to Nick>Nick suffers a lot for most of the next parts>Judy is more often than not ignored for this part>Nick comes to accept his new situation, Nick goes to Judy, Judy says she's sorry and Nick forgives her>WildeHopps endingI don't know about being the punching bag, but I feel, at least on what I read, Nick goes through a lot of suffering and maybe even growing (or dull/apathy over the matter) over the problem often caused by Judy and he comes to terms with it. While I normally feel Judy should be the one that had to go through it. Even when she also does, it's normally kept as something unexplored. I was a bit shocked when someone suggested me Sad Judy and she was actually both the one who started the problem and the one that grew due to it and fixed the problem.

>>10067552A nice slice of life. Thanks for the green.Also enjoying the laid back ending bits recently.
>>10067552Very nive, especially the endingAnd to answer your question, I was making fun of the many bull we are calling "Wildehopps" fics nowaday
>>10067552Funny thing is, I would consider all of that pretty damn close to true love, whatever that means. Obviously the two have their faults, and sometimes they are going to fight because hey, they are two different people and they aren't always going to agree with each other. But they still love each other, know the other is important in their lives, and accept each other faults and all.
>>10067645I got u senpai, its weird seeing all those fics always coming out, theres always one or two new ones where more fucked up shit happens to Nick and Judy becomes more like a cartoon villain>"Judy, why did you amputate all my arms and legs?">"Oh my god Nick I can't believe you would say that I'm going to live with Jack for a while were just friends"
>>10067496Can...can a larger female mammal rub her feet on a tiny tube or rodent?
>>10067674...please tell me you are joking...Judy LITERALLY DAY-DREAMED ABOUT JACK, WHILE SHE WAS WITH NICK, after that and the actions the author gave her, it was cheating, there is no other word for itAnd that, in no way, could be called true love

>>10067189This is so accurate it is just sad
I've finally started putting my stories on a story site :vhttp://archiveofourown.org/works/11281263
>>10064284Could someone link me to that fic? I want to see how bad it is
>>10068148>Putting Scoutmaster Nick on AO3you're fucking insane
>>10068148I'm pretty sure there is specifically no knotting in this one.Weird tag.
>>10068383https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12133648/1/Zootopia-Force-of-NatureThere is a story before this one, but all you really need to know about it is that is where Jack was introduced, and Nick and Judy got together at the end of that fic.
>>10068383https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12133648/1/ I think. I haven't been following it.
>>10068383>>10068497 Already beat me to it.But I will say that all these things we are talking about is what we THINK will happen.(Not what Judy thinks of Jack and everything though, That is still a fact.)
>>10068383>>10068524Yeah, the drugged rape sex hasn't actually happened (yet). Just hinted that it is going to happen- Jack and Judy are going to go on some mission outside of Zootopia, the main bad guy (who is all but confirmed to be Nick's father) says he is going to target Nick, Hopps, and Savage all at once by "furthering someone's relationship along a bit" using something one of their goons bought that, one of them mentioning that it would be "underhanded".Nick's dad is probably going to catch them and show him proof of their betrayal, and then ask Nick if he would like to join him in the big bad organization.
>>10067350Is she just embarrassed or did she burn her tongue?
>>10068608Second part is confirmed by the teaser, first part and baby not so much. Can be subverted by a horny Jack trying to force himself before getting smacked down, but some evidences showing both too friendly (real by jack PLATONICALLY by judy) end up under midia spotlight.
>>10068608Why the fuck is Jack taking Judy somewhere, again?
>>10068608Jack Savage is really the worst thing to happen to anything ever
>>10068732>But you have heard of me!
>>10068807Jill is just Jack with glasses and a sweater.Literally the worst.
>>10068868Jack is just Judy with stripes.
>>10068698Because she was targeted by the evil organization, so they are taking her with them on a diplomatic mission to a country where said group is located since she was directly involved. I don't know how that makes sense really.Nick isn't going to go because he is "too protective" of Judy, and would be a "liability" during negotiations. Jack is going because apparently he can keep his cool and shit. So plot reasons really.>>10068732I can't even hate Jack at this point, it is the people that use him like this that are the problem. Writers have used some third party to create drama in WildeHopps since the beginning of the fandom. Jack is just an easy tool to use for them, instead of creating their own OC.

I think, before I write my major Zootopia Fanfic, I will write a (probably) smaller one I have in mind, I think it could help me for practise to write the smaller one first.
>>10070162Don't dive in a big fic without getting experience with smaller ones first. Even a long green or stuff like that is fine.
>>10070162This >>10070174I learned my lesson pretty hard.
>>10070162That's a mistake I made too when I discovered fanfiction. I made a fanfiction for a 1 season anime, that was basically an entire fictional second season I came up with... I think I don't have to tell that I dropped it halfway after working on it for 3 years... and 12 chapters. You need to plan something that you can complete within a reasonable timespan.
>>10070174Yeah, also I need to practice my english. Whilest I can write more or less decent. I fails to use synonyms or good explaniations. Wich I still have to learn.

>>10070174This, goddamn.Start off REALLY short. Try to make greens that don't go over 3 posts, and try really hard to make them 2 posts at most.
how do i learn how to draw stuff
>>10070869draw stuff you like, for starters.
>>10070869It's an ability that you're born with.
>>10070869pick up a pencil, a piece of paper, apply pressure on the paper with your pencil, repeat until hired by disney
>>10070906what if i don't have a pencil?
>>10070869Draw, draw, draw.It's like learning to walk.Follow some tutorials for some basic principles, drawabox.com can help you.And draw.
>>10070869I would reccomend start by looking at picture from animated movie or one of the artists here and watch the lines. When you get a grip on how the bodies work try it yourself with your own style.
>>10070931use your own blood
>>10070174I'd like to play devil's advocate and say that you can technically start with an enormous fic right off the bat if you really want to, just don't be afraid to drop it if you're not improving in the way you want to or it's just not working out.My first fic was laughably bad, but I made it to almost 40k words before I realized I wasn't going to be able to do it. Funny thing is, my second fic wound up being over 200k, and I did in fact actually carry the project all the way to completion. The last couple chapters are leagues above the first in quality, but I did learn quite a bit writing it, maybe a lot more than you would if you just wrote a couple short greens. I think the only difference between learning through incremental growth and trial by fire is dedication. If you're not afraid to get burned, long fics can teach you far more than small projects, especially in the areas of time management, creating obtainable deadlines, and putting in the work even when you really don't want to.I think the biggest problem you'll face is fanfiction readers don't often tell you when your shit stinks. You'll learn most of your lessons through a handful of a dozen posts submitted by people you actually know what they're talking about, and you're liable to just dismiss them completely with some things, so you have to be careful and really try to understand what people they're trying to tell you. Personally, I really wish more people told me what I could improve on. I went more than ten chapters before someone finally told me to fucking quit it with the said bookisms. I really wish someone had done that sooner.
>>10070594source for the first twohttps://twitter.com/oibib/media
I really wish Byron would do more with his Twitter account. It seems like he spends most of his time telling people Zootopia 2 isn't official.

Guardian Blue just updated after a few weeks, and retconed itself by getting rid of the recent "being forced onto a plane and then landed in the middle of nowhere with savage tribes" plot. Huh.
Please post either comfy stuff I can use as escapism or sad stuff that will depress me. For every comfy greentext or comic, I'll post an Insider Coffee Fact(tm). Like wtf the flavor descriptions on coffee blends are secretly supposed to mean. Number 3 will SHOCK you!If that sounds awful, depress me. If I get sad enough I'll close the thread and never post Insider Coffee Facts(tm) again.
>>10070315Here ya go!Gotta love that First World War aesthetic.

>>10071380Here is a comfy comic; a Nick focused comic of him visiting Judy's home. Has plenty of nice moments between Nick and some of the Hopps family.http://imgur.com/a/5pJJJ
>>10071395Damn, I like how grizzled Judy's looking there. Thank you!

This is mostly stuff I got doing roastery tours of third wave coffee companies in the Bay Area, talking to bosses/employees, and reading books published by the founders of those companies. I can cite sources if necessary.>>10071401Holy fucking shit. That was comfy as hell until it made me feel extremely bad for Nick, then it was bittersweet. It's pretty common for coffee farmers in dangerous regions like Ethiopia to carry a machete or a pistol around for self-defense. Occasionally they'll have castro sunglasses on or be chomping a cigar. This factors in when high end coffee companies send representatives to negotiate growing practices. Sometimes they go "Wtf, crazy ass gringos? I'm not throwing out half my stuff just because it's not perfect." This is a primary reason why those companies pay farmers more for beans. Otherwise they won't go along with it, and it's scary to strongarm negotiate with an armed Ethiopian/Guatemalan/Whatever.>>10071402Fucking cute.Sometimes putting the name of the farmer or co-op growing the beans on the packaging is part of those negotiations. So when you see some huge paragraph about Roger Amumbe's cute farm on the side of a bag, it's not always marketing. That paragraph was part of the deal. Or if you buy a blend called "Resplendent Cuba," it was made at the Resplendent Co-Op in Cuba.It pays to carry a gun during negotiations.>>10071431Holy shit I love Finnick! Wow. Him being embarrassed about how cute he is makes me legitimately happy. Among the people who buy beans, roast them on a large scale, and actually visit farms to oversee growing, Starbucks isn't the brand they think is worst. This is anecdotal, but Nescafe is the absolute worst when it comes to bean quality. Even worse than Folgers, which some of them have a soft spot for. Their parents drank it growing up.
>>10070309Two constitutes a pile, right? How many other Badger OCs do we have? I might add them.Anyway, I'm getting sleepy here so I'll call it an early night for me. Consider this sketch a WIP, I'll finish it off tomorrow.Good night /ztg/.

>>10071441I hadn't read that one until now, but it's 10/10 comfy! Fucking awesome.This one comes in two parts.The tasting notes and flavor descriptions on bags of coffee, promising cherry and apple flavors? They're bullshit. The roasters are usually screwing around to some degree. This is the process for coming up with them:Take what the coffee actually tastes like. Bold with hints of chocolate and fruit. Make it sound more exotic. Striking with chocolatey and citrus notes. Hipster it up. A striking blend of the finest beans, with a flavor profile of cacao nibs, blood orange, and cherry. There you have it.They're not being malicious or snobby, they're fucking around and having fun. Sometimes they'll just add weird shit, like "wet pool noodle" because they went swimming that day or "Coffee cake" because they ate it with lunch.>>10071532Thanks!Part two.The founder and former roaster for one of the world's most successful upscale coffee companies said this about the fake tasting notes in his book. If the above is how those happen, this is what management thinks.>It's a no win situation writing that stuff.>On the one hand, people who really train can detect subtle flavors in coffee. But not everyone spends all day drinking coffee at cuppings like us, so putting those notes on the bag wouldn't make sense.>It'd almost be false advertising, and it's boring.>On the other hand, we can screw around and write weird stuff. Some coffee places get extremely fucking pretentious with it and write long paragraphs about walking up a hill to an oak tree that represents the coffee. People read that and think "Go die.">But ultimately it's going to taste the same either way, so we pick fucking around over being elitist.>And we try not to be pretentious about it.
>>10071544Lol, holy shit! I requested that earlier this year! It did help, whoever wrote it.This is how a thoroughly honest and nice friend I have who works for a major coffee company as a manager explained why specialty coffee costs so much.>First off, it's to make money. So there's that.>But it's also complex. Coffee beans have an exceptionally low market cap/value/whatever the proper term is relative to the price it takes to start a farm and grow them.>This means it can be hard to break even as a coffee farmer, and you have to sell everything you have. Even the subpar beans.>People like Nescafe will still buy those.>Meanwhile, we're a specialty coffee company. "Specialty" is a legal term with standards set by the SCAA. They're absurdly hard to hit.>And the machete or pistol toting coffee farmer isn't gonna put up with our list of demands, which involves throwing out almost all their yield, without lots of money.>So we pay twice or 2.5 times the going price for coffee, and so do a lot of other specialty cafes.>Which translates into higher prices.This ends the most interesting coffee facts I have. Hopefully a few of you enjoyed them!
>>10071965Whoaly fuck
No amount of comfy can take away the fact that my family thinks I'm a soulless manipulator with nothing where others have a connection to god.

>>10072154I don't get it.>>10072166It's because I was misdiagnosed as Autistic.
I absolutely love that the topic that threw the last thread into madness was coffee.It united the enlightened, revealed the shitposters, we all learned something and we shared an important part of our days.And it was about something as simple as a cup of coffee. Agent Cooper would be proud.

>>10071760>Starbucks isn't the brand they think is worst. This is anecdotal, but Nescafe is the absolute worst when it comes to bean quality.Neat.What about those instant capsules things? How bad are they? I literally cannot do anything with grains, so I'm relying on those.I have nothing to offer since I'm on my work computer, so here's something.>Judy groggily stepped out of the room, the corridors faintly lit by the dawning sun on the horizon. She moved down the hallway until she reached a machine. >Rumbling changes on her pocket, she drunkenly slammed coins in it. Click, click, click. The machine rumbled to life as dark liquid poured into a cup. And another. A cap placed on each one of them.>Holding one cup on each of her paws, she stumbled her way back to the room. Balancing one cup over the other, the bunny used her free paw to quietly swing the door open. >The room was a dark, beautiful curtains concealing the room from the outside light. From some small creaks, rays shone some light on its insides.>Judy eyes slowly got accustomed to the contrast, her slowly making her way to the bed. There a striped bunny laid his head, his arms crossed below as a pillow, his sheets on the ground beside the bed. >Judy laid both of the drink on the bedside-table, and carefully covered the resting bunny with the blanket again, lightly stirring him for a moment before he calmed down.
Gimme requests, ztg
>>10072604>She returned to pick up her coffee and slowly blew under its lid, cooling its scalding hot content. She slowly sipped on it, until a large paw grabbed her cup from behind. >Quietly screaming in her mind over the surprise, she found her cup being taken by a large red fox. His grin and self-confident gaze clashing with his disheveled looks, the fox sipped slowly.>"Yours is on the bedside table, give it back!" she whispered. "No, mine is on my paws." he retorted.>"And this one is mine." a coarse murmur came from the bed, a figure holding a coffee cup emerging. "Oh no! See what you did?" the bunny glared at the gekkering figure beside her. "Relax, it's not our fault.".>"How are you feeling...?" the bunny closed in to the bed. Lazily stroking a paw over the sleeping bunny head while sipping on the coffee with the other, a murmur followed "I feel... alright, I guess. Just some dull senses of pain here and there. Must be the drugs...">"..., did you guys stay all week here? You should've gone home" coughed. "We couldn't, Jack couldn't either. We were worried sick." A giggle followed by a light cough. "I pulled through, didn't I...?">"Well" - the red fox interrupted - "You did, and now you get a cool scar like Stripes here and the right to boast over being one of the few mammals who can say they literally took the bullet for someone else.">"Do I get some medal for it...?", "Oh no, you just prevented Jack from gaining his." the fox replied with a grin and a shrug. "Bummer... do I get any compensation...?" >"Yes, tons and tons of drugs until that thing is healed. I know some Coyotes that would kill for the things they'll be giving you, I can give you some contacts." Judy elbowed the side of the red fox, him letting some coffee drops spill over. "Nick! That's not funny!"
>>10072609Honey and Nick sharing a bowl of nachos pls.
>>10072618>A coughing laughter came from the figure on the bed. "C'mon, Wilde, don't make me laugh when I'm dying here." Judy head turned "S-Skye?". "I'm kidding..." the vixen replied as Nick held his laughter back.>"You guys are horrible." Judy pouted.>"Aren't you going to wake the little guy up?" Nick asked.>"Nah, it's alright..." the vixen replied, "he must've not gotten any sleep. When he wakes up we talk." The vixen lowered her head slightly to place her muzzle on the bunny head.>Judy smiled slightly as she sat on her and Nick makeshift bed on the corner, Nick following right behind her with cofee in hand. Both settled down before alternating between drinking the now cool coffee.>"By the way, I'm pretty sure you can't drink coffee right after surgery, Skye" the fox stirred.
>>10070759Good idea!
>>10072468Not him, but I'll at least entertain the idea. Especially if he lives in some rural nowhereville where the psych's aren't always so good. Besides, I don't think its a good idea to throw out completely uneducated statements like that. It's better that they keep looking into their own situation rather than just having a conclusion beaten into them.

>>10072965>>10073010>>10073112The artist isn't even trying now. Nick's muzzle is so far off model it's offensively bad.Judy's size compared to Nick is equally poorly done. Nick's legs are just "what" inducing alsoHonestly both of their face's don't even look like them, the only thing that made me know they were *supposed* to be, was their coloring.
>>10073011you seem to be an amazing artist! How long have you been drawing? Care to share some tipis?
>>10072468I went to a really good psychologist and he said there was nothing wrong. Five later and one of them says I'm definitely Autistic. After being talked with at length by my family. It later turned out I have ADD and really shitty parents that I modeled after. Even if I was Autistic, none of that other stuff is true. My family believes everything they read in Livejournal posts from parents of really disabled kids, and there are lots of horror stories about that. So it must be true about me too!
>>10066352Why does that steamstack have eyes?
>>10069812Find a way to include some of the attractions from the scrapped Wild Times.

"Drawing from the right side of the brain" is a great book - it's worth starting with it and follow up with "keys to drawing" by by Bert Dodson. also make sure you read Loomis' "fun with a pencil" - I think these three books should be your first three picks if you're new.if you're looking into general tips, I suppose you'll grow to be really disappointed your drawings very fast - it never goes away, but you should keep going because you might have a chance to produce less crappy draws in the future if you work hard.

>>10072604>What about those instant capsules things? How bad are they? I literally cannot do anything with grains, so I'm relying on those.Their bean quality will depend on who is manufacturing them, not the fact that they're in a capsule. Get a Starbucks one? It's made to their quality standards, because they bought and roasted the beans in it. Peet's? Their quality. Etc.They were talking about Nescafe's line of coffee, not K-Cups in general. I've heard that Green Mountain is a pretty good brand, and they make capsule coffee. Holy shit! Thanks for writing something that long and awesome! Brb, reading it.

American architects team up with green campaigners to promote sustainable building
Sustainable building got a boost in the USA this week when a leading campaign group signed an agreement with a body representing the nation's architects, with both pledging to support efforts to promote the design and construction of energy efficiency, environmentally responsible buildings.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by not-for-profit group the Green Building Initiative and the American Institute of Architects.
"We are happy to have this agreement in place," said Ward Hubbell, President of the GBI. "The AIA's support and expertise in the development of [our] Green Globes Standard, through participation on the ANSI Technical Committee, has been invaluable.
"We look forward to continuing our work with them towards our shared goal of achieving widespread acceptance of sustainable design and construction practices."
Chris McEntee, executive vice president and CEO of the AIA, said: "The GBI's engagement in life cycle assessment and promotion of post-construction third party review in Green Globes illustrates GBI's commitment to the creation of high performance buildings and supports the role of the architect in creating them.
"We look forward to working with the GBI on our common goal of reaching carbon neutral buildings by 2030."
The memorandum calls for both parties to offer educational opportunities for those wishing to study the sustainable construction and encourage or undertake research to identify strategies for specific economic and environmental performance outcomes for green buildings.

New Delhi, April 24, 2019-
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday said 17 coordinators have been appointed to help Indians leave Libya and the Indian embassy is helping even those whose visa has expired.
"Tripoli – We have appointed 17 coordinators to help Indians leaving Libya. Indian embassy is helping them with Exit Visa even in cases where their visa has expired. Presently, the airport is operational. Please avail of this opportunity," the Minister tweeted.
Last week, she had called upon relatives of Indians residing in Tripoli to ask them to leave the Libyan capital immediately, saying the situation there was fast deteriorating.
She had said there were over 500 Indians in Tripoli even after massive evacuation from Libya and the travel ban.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said last week that 213 people have been killed and 1,009 others injured in the fighting between the UN-backed Libyan government and the east-based Army in and around Tripoli.
The Army, led by Khalifa Haftar, has been leading a military campaign since early April to take over Tripoli where the UN-backed government is based.
India earlier evacuated its entire contingent of 15 Central Reserve Police Force personnel deployed in Tripoli. (Agency)

Capitalism, eh?
Did you score a handy travel deal during #BlackFriday? Or do you think you scored a goodie? Well, depending on where you buy your deals from, you might be getting ripped off.
And to make things worse, you might be getting ripped off even now that the deals have gone.
Online travel retailer Travelstart has accused South African travel agents of buying up their #BlackFriday deals and selling them on at a marked up price. Sadly, this practice by some travel agents is not even exclusive to Black Friday sales – it happens all the time.
"It happens often when we run campaigns. The sad thing is that unwitting consumers end up paying a lot more for travel than they should," said Travelstart's founder Stephan Ekbergh.
"We were alerted via our customer service channels early in the day, as well as by several bookings that were made in the same email address of South African travel agents known to us"
"It's not in the pre-holiday spirit of Black Friday and we have adapted our terms & conditions so that we reserve the right to recharge travel agents who sell our tickets with their own mark-up," said Ekbergh.
Dodgy AF.
Travelstart says the most popular routes booked during their sale was domestically between Cape Town and Jozi – and internationally to Mauritius.
If you weren't lucky enough to score a good travel deal during Black Friday – don't stress.
There are some cracking domestic adventures right on your door step you can explore. Check out these 19 Pictures of South Africa's National Parks that will make you want to visit immediately. Oh, and if you need a little reminder of just how beautiful South Africa is, check out this little video.

I do things with words, mainly English and Arabic
Oh yes. Obviously. We are unnatural and strange human beings who must be motivated by self-centredness, immaturity and self-absorption. We cannot possibly have made considered decisions about the welfare of our putative offspring, our families and communities, or the wider world and environment. Whereas all those people who squeeze out babies because they 'want someone who'll love them unconditionally,' or they have fantasies about living a celeb yummy-mummy existence one up from having a Chihuahua in a Marc Jacobs handbag, or as some kind of self-fulfillment project once yoga and meditation and Madonna-inspired Kabbalah haven't worked, or to cement their faltering relationships (which then founder on the stress of having screaming infants around 24/7) are all unselfish and rational human beings. Absolutely.
Whilst it is wrong to label those women who choose to be childless, as selfish; it also lacks a certain amount of grace to label all mothers as love-seeking, relationship-shoring, environment-ruining superficial smug and spiritually empty.
Rather than pit woman against woman, is it not better to find common ground with other women, not denigrate their choices?
Surely those women who portray their reproductive choices as the `only` valid and fulfilling path are just self obsessed, self aggrandising cretins? My choice to have children does not define me as a woman, or a human being.
I really enjoy reading your work, and perhaps would just seek to ask you the question, does your choice not to be a mother `define` who you are?
Isn`t the term `breeder` somewhat dehumanising? It is a term generally used for animals! Your language and idiom in this matter is full of loaded works and images. Mothers are not all idiots, or airheads touting their offspring like a chihuahua. Mothers are not all, or even generally trying to hang desperately onto `their` man with the tie of a child.
Denigrating the choice of women who mother does not make your choice more valid. Perhaps if the whole issue was seen less as a battle ground and one choice being more valid and worthy than the other, then both sides might get a lot from the discussion.
I would be interested in reading your proposed book about women who choose to be childfree, to read about a path I did not choose to take; to put my own choices as a woman, into perspective. Perhaps to get a glimpse of what might have been.
For what it is worth being a mother has fulfilled me on one level, but I remain convinced that I am not all I could have been as an individual because my time has been devoted to educating and caring for others.
Anyone mother who calls a childfree woman `selfish` has issues regarding the amount she is called on to put her own needs and desires last. That is not being `unselfish` it is voluntary martydom and not something to be put on a pedestal and idolised.
As for the issue with men being as much `smug breeders` as women, I cannot say I have really seen anything to prove that. Men are not invested in the whole pregnancy-birth-caring process as women. They cannot be, being at a remove from the whole process. Male full time carers are in a minority. Nobody wants to feel as if their life is meaningless, or inferior to another persons. The `my choice was better than your choice` dialogue helps nobody.
In the interests of mutual understanding, and helping young women comprehend the options they have open to them, I think your proposed work has a lot of potential and am looking forwards to reading it. I sincerely hope it is not marred by the loaded rhetoric of the childfree wanting the denigrate the choices made by those with children.
Apologies if I misread your intent as being mainly a diatribe against mothers. I saw the words `squeezing out`, comparisons to chihuahua toting airheads who are generally female, celeb `yummy mummies`, and `Marc Jacob handbags` lead me to believe you were talking about mothers, women, not men. The yoga and kabbalah could be either gender, of course…
Apologies for the rambling nature of my reply, Im trying to type with a small boy hanging from my skirt. There are advantages to being child free!
I used to know you a long time ago and have now and again come across your work, since you write about things I am interested in!
I did not think it right that I write on your blog and not `out` myself.
Congratulations on the marriage and all the marvelous work you have been doing. I am somewhat in awe of everything you have achieved.
I won`t bore you with details of my somewhat mundane existance.
I really am interested in the whole child-free vs mothering debate, and look forwards to reading your book. My efforts are spent trying to convince my daughter to have a career and a life, instead of children. I adore my two, but would not want the life I have for my daughter. I would love to read a book which shows women can have fulfilling and positive happy lives without being a mother, or necessarily a wife.
Right, Im going back to my quiet little exile out here in Tokyo and cease the nostalgia! You probably barely remember me!
Very best wishes
Calling women 'breeders' (if that is what they are) isn't wrong. It is a term for animals and we ARE animals!
Still, some women are parents, they do their job properly, they discipline their kids (etc) but there are certainly more 'breeders' out there nowadays. Breeders are those that expect the rest of us to take care of their kids (because we are working in the cafe they are in, because we run the shop they are in, because we happen to be within a mile of where their child is getting itself into danger. Breeders are certainly rife nowadays and they think everyone is responsible for taking care of their child. Well, everyone but THEM!

The dissociation of ammonium (NH4+) into ammonia (NH3) in wastewaters is a key factor governing atmospheric nitrogen volatilization. Relatively rich in total ammoniacal nitrogen (TAN or NH4+ plus NH3), livestock manures are most susceptible to NH3 volatilization, although indirect measurements report 5 times less NH4+ dissociation as compared to theoretical values. The objective of this study was therefore to directly measure NH4+ dissociation of two standard NH4Cl solutions (1750 and 3500 mg TAN/L), and of swine and dairy cattle manures at various dilutions and temperatures using a ammonia selective electrode (hydrogen and silver-silver chloride electrode couple) at various pH and temperatures. All solutions demonstrated NH4+ dissociation varying from theory, especially because of dissolved compounds such as atmospheric CO2. At a neutral pH, ratios of theoretical to measured [NH3-N] ranged from 1.5 to 3.5, with higher ratios corresponding to higher TAN levels. At a pH below 6, NH3 volatilization was enhanced by the shift of HCO3- to H2CO3 and CO2. With previous research projects reporting 5 times less NH3 volatilization as compared to theory, the present indicates that dissociation activity account for half of this drop with gas diffusion accounting for the other half.

My favorite sequels are basically all Mike Myers films - 'Wayne's World 2,' 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,' 'Shrek 2.' Anything he does, it's best the second time around. He needs to do 'So I Married an Axe Murderer 2.'Adam DeVine
I'm such a huge 'Arrested Development' fan.Adam DeVine
There's not one thing that inspires me the most. Me and my friends joke around with each other and hang out so much that whatever makes us laugh really hard makes it into 'Workaholics.' But the characters that I think are funny are guys that are confidently stupid.Adam DeVine
Jealousy is the worst trait in any person.Adam DeVine
I'm not a good rapper. For whatever reason, my brain does not work that way. I just do the beginning, like, 'Yeah, yeah! Ha ha! Woo! What up? Come on! Get at me!' I'm Captain Hook.Adam DeVine
Even as a kid, I was a businessman. I figured out that if you plucked all the berries off my neighbor's tree and smashed them up, they made a Nickelodeon Gak-type consistency. I sold them to all the neighborhood kids and made stacks of quarters. Of course, the berries were poisonous, and I got in all types of trouble.Adam DeVine
When I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' I didn't know it was a singing movie. I didn't read the script. I go to the audition, and I'm like, 'Oh, it's a baseball movie.' But then I'm reading the lines, and I'm like, 'This doesn't seem like a baseball movie.'Adam DeVine
Be yourself. I had this three-week period where I wore this straw fedora. I thought it was what chicks wanted. And then it dawned on me that I was trying to be something that I wasn't, so I took the fedora off. So be yourself.Adam DeVine
After 'Pitch Perfect,' I only want to be in sequels. No. 2 of whatever.Adam DeVine
The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last.Adam DeVine
The American school system's a little warped, so anyone can get a degree if they have a little money.Adam DeVine
When I was a teenager, I was an umpire for a competitive league for 8- to 9-year-olds. I was really bad at it because I didn't know all the rules, and all these kids were better athletes than me. I made a bad call, and this dad snapped on me. Then he dumped his trash from his cooler, and I had to kick him out of the stands.Adam DeVine
Naked dudes are inherently funny.Adam DeVine
People want to be friends with someone who likes to have a good time.Adam DeVine
As far as stand-ups go, I always loved Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, and Sinbad. Basically, I love black comedians because they're the funniest. I wish I were a black comedian, actually.Adam DeVine
If you like standup and decide that it's overtaking your life and want to hate it, watch 1,000 standup comedians who are trying to get on a TV show.Adam DeVine
I tend to have a lot of jokes about ex-girlfriends. They always ask me if they will be the subject of a joke, and I always tell them they won't. Unless they do something crazy. They all tend to, so you know where that goes. There are no closed doors. The 'art' will suffer.Adam DeVine
I don't want any competition; I've finally made it! I don't want any young bucks knocking me off and taking my job, so stay in school! Stay in school and get a nice job working in an office!Adam DeVine
I sang the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium - at a baseball game - which was crazy; there was, like, 60,000 people there, which is a huge deal in America - singing the National Anthem.Adam DeVine
I like Louis C.K., Chris Rock. Old schools like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.Adam DeVine
Hot girls have so many options. Sitting at home alone any night of the week and searching the Internet for a dude is on zero hot girls' agendas. So they're definitely not coming after you.Adam DeVine
I don't really write jokes down. I tend to have a premise that I work out and test on stage.Adam DeVine
I tried out for my basketball team every year and I never made it. You had to buy the shoes before you knew if you were on the team because it took a few weeks for them to ship. I bought the shoes every year, never once made the team, had a ton of high school basketball shoes.Adam DeVine
That's another piece of advice: Don't go to college; follow your dreams. Unless you're a doctor - then go to college.Adam DeVine

Recently across the interwebby-type thing there it has been suggested that a new constellation – Ophiuchus – be included within the Zodiac. Actually some people have been saying this for around 16 years or more, however the most recent publicity to the notion has been generated by a statement by the Minnesota Planetarium Society – so it is rather cheeky that they claim to have only recently discovered it. Obviously time does not pass so quickly in that part of America!
The argument is that because Ophiuchus is in the same general vicinity as the other constellations which make up the Zodiac (nb: not "Horoscope" *) it should be added thereto. IMO, however, Ophiuchus should not and probably won't be included in conventional Astrology – and with good reason. The rationale of Astrology is that it is the direct continuation of the ancient Pagan religions in unbroken succession from their heyday thousands of years ago into the present day. It has millenia of established practice behind it, and it provides both the language and the vocabulary of the Hermetic tradition. Hence – the only extent to which any constellation or heavenly body can be included in astrology – whether existing or a new candidate – is that to which it is reflected in ancient practice, and ancient mythology – which after all makes up the archetypes of the collective unconscious. Whilst there are various myths and legends surrounding Ophiuchus as a constellation in the general sense, it has no established mythology as an astrological entity. One cannot, for example, say which planet rules it, which planets are exalted in it, what planets are in their fall or detriment in it, what Element it should be, or whether it should be Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable.
Needless to say, this has probably whipped straight over the heads of the Minnesota Planetarium Society who, being astronomers, are not thinking about this from an astrological point of view.
Therefore, as an astrologer myself, I would recommend simply ignoring the current talk about there being a new sign of the Zodiac. And to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, I say: "G'Ophiuchus Yourselves."
* The reason I say "not Horoscope" is because there is only one Zodiac – but there are currently 7 billion different Horoscopes. The Zodiac is what is in the sky, but the word "Horoscope" refers to an individual's astrological chart generally, and their first-house marker (Ascendant) specifically.

OK! So I am all moody electronica'd out! I needed some punk pop, and there is only one solution: The Clash!
I know it is not exactly seen as their shining moment but I love Sandinista!, a speed-driven funky pop punk fest with a certain unapologetic charm.some
Only Strummer could rock these lyrics and have you pogoing like your life depended on it, sliding into a cold warscape with a killer riff and some hyper beats. It is a comment on world domination and dumb wars and even dumber patriotic rabble rousing. Strummer was the consummate punk politician, as suave and debonair and public pleasing as punk ever got. He sings about Ruskie Bears trying tricks and being the eternal losers whilst America pursues world domination, and Strummer sings about this like it was some sex beat fun fest shite down the Palais on a Friday night in 1980. It is the perfect antidote to niceness.
There is a perfectly respectable Junko Partner, some heavy cool ragga beats right out of London circa the late 70s early 80s, and Strummer's trademark social commentary. He is stronger when he talks about what he knows – urban disaffection and deprivation.
If you have only ever heard their more famous offerings, it is worth exploring beyond London Calling. There is also a more poppy, less punky Sandinista! covers album called The Sandinista. Fabulously off the wall version of Ivan and GI Joe, which takes the song for a slow country hoe down in a barn, by Jason Ringenberg and Kristi Rose. It is worth giving it a listen just for the amusement factor. Yee Haw, pardners!

Earlier in April the New York State Legislature and Executive approved the 2022-2023 State Budget of $220 billion. The Executive Budget includes increased funding for the Department of State's (DOS) programs that support community development such as the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, NY Forward, Brownfield Opportunity Area, Smart Growth Planning, the Environmental Protection Fund, and Local Waterfront Revitalization Initiative.
Here are some highlights from the Economic Development Programs:
- Regional Economic Development Councils (REDC) will continue to play a key role in regionally-driven strategies for economic growth.
- The Budget includes core funding of $225 million in grants and tax credits to fund high value regional priority projects to be made available throughout the year.
- A robust package of workforce development initiatives (up to $350 million) is also included.
- Downtown and community revitalization initiatives (up to $450 million) will continue to be coordinated with REDC-driven economic development strategies where appropriate.
- The Executive Budget provides $100 million for another round of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative.
- Additionally, to support a more equitable recovery across New York's rural communities, the State will create and invest in the NY Forward program, designed to help smaller downtowns. The Executive Budget includes $100 million for the rural and smaller communities. Like the DRI program, NY Forward communities will be selected in partnership with the REDCs. The Department of State (DOS) will lead the community through an abbreviated planning process to develop a slate of readily implementable projects.
- ConnectALL initiative will invest in digital infrastructure, catalyzing over $1 billion in new public and private investments.
- The Executive Budget also includes $250 million for a revitalized Restore New York program to rehabilitate vacant, abandoned, condemned, or surplus properties.

This week in Pilot's athletics, the men's soccer team won a match 15-0, the rowing team won the varsity four race at the Portland Invite, and the baseball team went 2-1 in their series against St. Mary's.
The women's team ended their game against Gonzaga on April 3 with a 0-0 tie. Now the Pilots sit at 3-2-3 overall and have an upcoming game against Saint Mary's on April 10.
The men's team had a dominant non-conference win over Multnomah University 15-0 and a 0-2 loss to Santa Clara this week. Both Luke Hendel and Jacob Babalai had a hat trick against Multnomah and three other Pilots, Yusuf Cueceoglu, Boba Fofanah and Caua Soares, recorded two goals each.
The men's team's next game is Sunday, April 11 against Santa Clara.
The women's team lost both their games this weekend. They ended their game against Point Loma on April 2 with a final score of four to two and lost against San Diego on April 3 with a score of seven to zero. The Pilots now sit at one and nine this season as they head into their next game against San Francisco on April 9.
The men's team suffered a close loss to BYU 4-3, with three of their four losses going three sets. The Pilots now sit at 8 and 3 overall and 2 and 1 in the WCC. This week they head down to the Bay area to take on San Francisco and Santa Clara.
Track and Field
The women's track and field team had a strong performance at University of Oregon on April 2. Veerle Bakker placed first in the women's 5,000m with a time of 16:23.13 and Anna Pataki set a UP record with a personal best of 33:11.30 in the women's 10,000m run.
Next they will head to Salem for a meet at Willamette University on April 15.
On the men's side, Bradley Peloquin recorded a personal record (PR) and came in fourth overall in the 5,000m and all five Pilots competing in the 10,000m set PRs at the UO meet.
The Pilots also competed in the NW Distance Jamboree Meet hosted at Lane Community College, in which Parker Wilkerson and Konnor Hathaway placed in the top five in the 800m and Riley Olson finished 9th in the 5,000m.
The Pilots won the varsity four race at the Portland Invite on April 3. The Pilots lost against Saint Mary's in the varsity eight races but were able to score a win with a time of 8:32.8 in the varsity four race. Their next meet is against Gonzaga on April 10.
Portland went two and two this week, with a loss to No. 21 Oregon State and a 2-1 series win over Saint Mary's, finishing the week at 13-13 on the season. This week, the Pilots will head to Eugene to play UO in a one-game series and then to Utah to play BYU in a three-game series.
At roughly the halfway point of the season, three standouts are freshman Sam Brown, freshman Ben Patacsil and junior Chad Stevens. All three are batting over .300, an OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) over .800 and at least 35 total bases.

04/13/2011 – 4445 steps
04/14/2011 – 5264 steps
Good morning, Mintdom!
Whoo hoo! I have a new pedoMINTer. My little box is filling up with ex-pedoMINTers – it is difficult to find just the right one because I am fussy. This one actually speaks to me so I do not have to keep looking; it also reminds me to be conscience of my steps and it keeps me motivated. Anyway, I am happy to have one again – gotta love counting steps!
Right now, staying motivated is my biggest challenge. Motivation is like keeping a campfire going; it needs tending to constantly or it goes out. That is what happened to me – my fire went out and I lost my motivation. Having a pedoMINTer is the spark that ignites my fire; wearing it every day and writing Mintdom stokes my fire. The other thing that helps tend my fire is the support I receive from all of you, either in your notes to me with little nudges, or ones in person! I SO appreciate each of you!
What are some of the things that keep you motivated? I would love to hear your ideas!
AffirMINTion: I tend to my motivation.
Make it a GREAT day, IF you choose to.
What are you waiting for?
Life is good!
"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire."

The County Council continues to propose and appropriate funding to provide various forms of assistance to county residents during the COVID-19 emergency.
The council yesterday unanimously approved a special appropriation of $2 million to be used for emergency eviction prevention and housing stabilization programs via a short-term rental subsidy program to low- and moderate-income households. Councilmember Evan Glass (D-At Large) spearheaded the proposal.
"On Friday, rent will be due for the 130,000 renter households here in Montgomery County. I have heard from renters all over the county who are hurting, struggling and have been hit hard by this pandemic. These rental assistance funds will help provide economic stability for thousands of individuals and families who are concerned about keeping a roof over their heads," Glasssaid in a press release.
In addition, councilmembers yesterday introduced the following special appropriations:
- Another $5 million recommended by the county executive for the Department of Health and Human Services to expand a previously approved $5 million program to provide direct financial assistance to county residents, the distribution of which began this week.
- A $750,000 special appropriation initiated by Councilmembers Gabe Albornoz (D-At Large), Nancy Navarro (D-District 4) and Craig Rice (D-District 2) to help address increasing levels of food insecurity among county residents.
- A special appropriation of $250,000 initiated by Councilmember Andrew Friedson (D-District 1) to provide grants to businesses and non-profit organizations that implemented a teleworking program and purchased teleworking equipment and software.
The council announced that it will hold public hearings on the three proposals at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 30.

Footprint in time,
Footprint in time, we are leaving our mark
On this world.
The daily struggle to survive as a boy or girl.
Wanting that showroom home,
That shiny car, soon we will have no place to go.
Enjoy mother nature at her finest.
Soon it will be all concrete jungles and polluted messiest.
Oil giants pulling the black core from the earth.
Chopping down rainforest to make way for homes and turf.
Aboriginals might of had it right
All the cared about was mother nature's plight.
But i do love my home and technology
It has brought me entainment and sociology.
One day we will find the right balance.
I just hope it not to late undo the malice.

A fleet of 65 dedicated luxury cruise vessels by 2024, including 25 new ships, is a conservative view of the future, as presented by Cruise Industry News in the 2018 Luxury Market Report.
Market capacity will grow 66.6 percent between 2018 and 2024, according to Cruise Industry News data.
These range from a LNG-powered ice breaker from Ponant to a 750-passenger ultra-luxury ship from Regent, the Seven Seas Splendor.
All the major luxury brands have growth plans, and the ones that don't are certainly hinting at it.
There are also a number of new-to-cruise companies looking at financing startup luxury brands, perhaps buoyed by Ritz-Carlton's 2017 announcement that they were getting in the game.
The growth story comes with a number of challenges, however.
Luxury lines are attached to their ticket prices and cannot discount to fill staterooms, with little onboard revenue opportunity.
They also must market and find passengers to source in order to fill the new capacity.
