Hullo! I've been looking to get back to icon-making after a long time. I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but there was a compliation of anime/cartoon tutorials that was HUGE. I believe it was more than 500 tutorials compiled. I had thought I had saved it, but when I tried to go back to find it I couldn't. The post is pretty old and was around 2-3 years ago.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks to JFO for the heads-up of the news.

First of all, photographer Brian Nice published a book of photos of celebrities with their dogs. The book is titled Rescue Tails: Portraits of Dogs and Their Celebrities and is a project Brian did for the Humane Society. There are photos of Marg, Billy, Jorja, Eric and their dogs. We've got you a pic of Marg and...actually, I'm not sure if it's Momo or Henry. I'm leaning toward Momo. It will be much appreciated if someone can confirm that for us. :)

Marg and Jorja also attended a private briefing hosted by the Artists & Athletes Alliance back in October. The subject was The Major Issues Facing The Obama Administration. We have uploaded four pics to our gallery.

Vegas based LPGA player Natalie Gulbis tweeted about shooting the spot for CSI last night. She said it will be a golf episode and posted two photos of herself on the set: Pic 1 | Pic 2

Looks like this is going to be the 12th episode (current title: Long Ball). You can go to Natalie's twitter for more tweets about it.

Challenge 39 has been extented until Monday Dec 7th Rules foundHERE.

Happy December, everyone. :D

Here is an interview with Marg by Orbit Showtime (pay TV service in Middle East/North Africa) earlier this year. Some of the things said actually sound familiar. She must get similar questions all the time, which isn't surprising. There's still some new stuff, though. :)

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly features an 'in memoriam' section for many of the celebrities we've lost this year. Looking through the list, it's shocking to see all of the 'big names' that we've lost this year. -- Natasha, Michael, Bea, Patrick, Farrah, Ed, Mary, Paul... wow!

ПОМОГИТЕ РАСПРОСТРАНИТЬ ИНФОРМАЦИЮ!

Минздрав выделил клинике Института питания РАМН 80 бесплатных мест для детей с заболеваниями печени. Но остается практически чуть больше месяца до конца года, когда этот подарок Минздрава надо реализовать. У Института практически нет никаких каналов информации. И ситуация парадоксальная: есть бесплатные места у лучших специалистов для детей, но родители и педиатры на местах о них не знают..

---------------

Официально: Клиника НИИ питания РАМН принимает на лечение детей с хроническими болезнями печени, в том числе с хроническими вирусными гепатитами, метаболическими, аутоиммунными заболеваниями печени, циррозом печени. Госпитализация проводится в отделение педиатрической гастроэнтерологии, гепатологии и диетологии на бюджетной основе в рамках выделенных Министерством здравоохранения и социального развития квот на высокотехнологичные виды медицинской помощи.

Here @ pinky_place

Today, I announce the winner of the fourth and final weekly contest and the winner of the grand prize contest!! We'll start off with the 4th weekly contest winner!

The winner of the 4th weekly contest, in which we asked, "What, in your mind, sets CSI apart from the other shows of its genre?" is...

hollowbarista!!!!!!

Their submission was: Of those the shows I have had a chance of viewing only the C.S.I franchise series has given me the pleasure of seeing romantic professionals doing their jobs with care and excellency. Do we not all love experts whatever their expertise?

Congrats! You will be contacted via private message on LJ for instructions on how to claim your prize!

----

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for! The winner of the grand prize, who will win a copy of CSI: Deadly Intent and a Nintendo Wii is...

replyhazy!!!!!!

Their submission to the grand prize contest was: Part One: Which crime scene in the online CSI: Deadly Intent game is your favorite to investigate? Which piece of evidence was the most helpful?

So far, I really enjoyed investigating the murder in the bar. Bars provide many different motives for violence -- robbery, alcohol-fueled range, personal grudges -- and the fact that it's a place where strangers gather means that the evidence might point at any number of people. I thought that the cash register was the most telling; it still had a lot of money in it, so a simple robbery was unlikely in that case.


Part Two: If you could create your own crime scene, what would it look like? Describe the victim, evidence and scene of the crime... The more thorough you are, the better chance someone will have of catching the killer and the better chance you'll have of winning!

I think a crime scene set in the workroom of a glitzy Las Vegas show would be interesting:

Scene of the Crime: back stage at a big Las Vegas show, one with dozens of showgirls. The room in question is the cluttered workshop of the costume mistress. Costumes under repair hang on the walls; a sewing machine sits off to one side; a cabinet full of thread, pins, needles and spare costume embellishments is at one end. Huge showgirl headdresses hang on the wall on wig forms.

Victim: it's the costume mistress herself! Rosanna is lying on her back behind a sewing table with her legs folded under her. She's been stabbed with the dressmaker's shears that hangs around her neck from a ribbon. She was only stabbed once, and the scissors are still stuck in her chest. Body was discovered by cleaning crew at 4 am -- the show was dark that evening.

Evidence items:
1. The scissors. They are smudged from someone holding them to stab the victim, but the fingerprints are not usable.
2. The victim is holding a measuring tape in one hand.
3. Her schedule book, which says: 3pm - Train new assistant; 4 pm - Fit Victoria with lead costume; 5 pm - Ricardo mtg.
4. Receipt for a drugstore pregnancy test is on the floor.
5. Torn note from Ricardo on her table, reading "This must STOP or there will be SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES!"

Suspects:
Megan, the new assistant. Megan is very nervous and explains she met with Rosanna at 3pm for training in how to fix feathered costumes. She admits thinking Rosanna was mean -- "All I did was tip over one tray of rhinestones my first day. She didn't have to go ballistic, we found most of them, right? I thought it was hilarious."

Ricardo, the stage manager. Has a long-running feud with Rosanna regarding costume storage. Rosanna wanted all the costumes in individual bags to cut down cleaning time; Ricardo refused as it would be too much hassle with all the costume changes in the show. Claims his note fragment was referring to Megan's prank with the rhinestones, nothing else. Says he showed up to meet with Rosanna at 5pm, but saw no one.

Victoria, new lead dancer. Victoria has just been promoted to be the lead after the previous star left the show. Rosanna was altering the costume for her and this was going to be her final fitting. Very teary-eyed about Rosanna, called her "a true friend." Says she came about 4:15 to her appointment, did not see Rosanna, and left.

I want to thank EVERYONE for participating in the grand prize contest and the 4 weekly contests! They were huge fun - I hope everyone else had fun, as well!

----

I want to say, in regards to the first weekly contest, we're still awaiting the answer from the CSI writing team. I will post as soon as I hear back. Sorry for the delay!

UPD. Lenta.ru: Официально логотип "Олимпиады-2014" должны были представить на праздничном концерте на Красной площади 30 ноября, однако его решено было отменить в связи с крушением "Невского экспресса".

Ну разве что в таком контексте пост Другого понятен...

Our 2009 Birthday Project ended Friday night, and our two prizes have new owners now. Go read the latest site update to see who won. :)

Thanks a lot, again, to everyone who helped and participated. This project wouldn't have succeeded without you. ♥

Эх, Надя, Надя из Виагры, из Виагры... Как хорошо, что в пору моего сиюминутного увлечения я не видел твоих стихов.

Весь сборник не читал, но осуждаю очевидно, что это должна быть настольная книга для bad_poetry_ru.

***
Ты была проституткой, и богиней была.
Ты была примадонной, ты в тень ушла.
Ты стала просвещаться, как ситец на ветру.
Ты стала упиваться - не ждала беду.
Ты верила, что будет этот мир пустой
И столько в нем говна...
Куда там мне
С тобой...

***
Кто проститутки, а кто сутенеры,
Нам не дано понять.
Кто имеет и кого.
К концу жизни понимаешь -
Бл*дь!

( Ай да Надя! )

Congrats to the winners!

Hey everyone!
I was just wondering how I can achieve this effect of combining two pictures:

Hi everyone!

I was hoping I could have some explain to me how to do the animation from this icon:


Pretty much, I'm wanting to have someone pop-up in my current icon. I'm using PS CS4.

Thanks.
