What’s the strangest applin you’ve encountered?

Avery here!

The professor asked me to answer this one as it is my area of expertise. When it comes to on Apple and I have to split it into two categories first category is applin hybrids wear them mixing with something else makes any interesting variation, and then the ones that are just applin , who ended up eating into something very odd. Strangers of the first category would have to be the Cherum hybrid for two major reasons, the first being the fact that they are absolutely minuscule. They have to be to be able to comfortably fit into cherries of all things, second, is that the scene to become basically conjoined upon integrating the cherry into their body is there to the only pick cherries with a conjoined stems. This leads to some interesting evolutionary consequences. This hybrid leans far more into the applin Side of things, but there are a few hangers from the Cherrim this can be seen from The blooming states both evolutions have.

The Flapple are once again tiny with a few unique traits. The largest, which is that the two Applin who inhabited The two different cherries are now conjoined at the hip The arms that face each other cradle the pit of the cherry and their Other hands hold wings, which the jointly flap together The top of their head has a flower that is either budding or open in strong sunlight.

As for the appletun they’re only about the size of an applin with a cute little cherry hats for the two heads that a sport and their two little leaves on the top, I replaced with two Cherry blossoms that similar to the Flapple’s. Some general, changes Two appearance that come with the line is a deep pink color, replacing the greens on their bodies. They’re shiny variance go for black cherries with attending shifts in coloration.

As for the other category it was a lemon variant that got into what their train loving refers to an ElDrItCh LeMoN the guy is massive and he can’t roll properly but that doesn’t seem to phase him as he lord of all the other applin in his grove

Some people just don't want kids, and often find they're questioned, mistrusted, or even hated for it. The childfree subreddit has become a digital home for 142,000 of them. 

​Can the internet be a place of respite for people being pestered by their broody parents? Or are they longing for a childfree, separatist world that isolates and misunderstands parents?

Summer comes and goes so quickly. That’s why we want to take a moment to slow down and remember all of the great projects we have worked on during this very busy season. We’re excited to share the latest news about our religious, educational and commercial architecture. Religious Architecture In Fairfax, St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church is under construction. The project kicked off last year, when church members voted to expand their building. After careful design and planning, construction officially began in May. The church will add over 16,000 square feet of new space over the coming months, including a remodeled and enlarged sanctuary, a lower level chapel space, six new Sunday school classrooms, and additional parking. Over in Ashburn, Heritage Baptist Church is also growing. They will add a new vestibule to their building by the end of this month. This inviting entryway will welcome congregants to Sunday services, youth ministry events and other meetings of prayer and faith. As two construction projects break ground, three others are about to begin: First Baptist Church of Alexandria, Church of Pentecost in Lorton, and Apostolic Church International in Woodbridge. First Baptist Church was built in 1954. The sanctuary of this historic brick building had never been renovated, so it was time for some major improvements. As so often is the case, First Baptist wasn’t sure where to start. We stepped in to assess what exactly the church needed to maintain their original façade on King Street, while accommodating a growing congregation. Our architects determined that the church needed more seating, a larger foyer, additional children’s education centers, and essential upgrades to their mechanical and electrical systems. We have also been hard at work on designs to renovate and add to Columbia Baptist Church in Falls Church. The church will have a new sanctuary with about 1,200 seats for their members to worship, and a welcoming foyer that connects to a comfortable coffee/fellowship area. Construction will begin next year for this ambitious project. Educational Architecture Our team also loves designing schools. This summer, it’s been our pleasure to work with the Purcellville Children’s Academy, the Nysmith School in Herndon and the Rivendell School in Arlington. Purcellville Children’s Academy provides preschool and daycare services, with small class sizes to nurture a child’s individual development. The school hosted an official groundbreaking ceremony on August 19, complete with food, crafts and even a petting zoo for students and families to enjoy. Construction will begin on the academy’s new home later this month. We’re designing a small addition for the Nysmith School, to provide additional science labs/classrooms. The private school creates hands-on learning environments for students in preschool through eighth grade. Rivendell School in Arlington provides an excellent educational experience for their students, but their facility is an old Methodist church building they purchased years ago. Our design essentially replaces and updates all their facilities in an ambitious three-year phased construction plan, during which time the school will remain in operation. Commercial Architecture In Arlington, we are designing several renovations and improvements at the Potomac Towers apartment complex. The 11-story brick building overlooks DC’s skyline. Renovations will update Potomac Towers so it maintains its status as a convenient and comfortable place to live. Staff Corner As our projects roll along, our staff grows and changes with the seasons. We said goodbye to our summer interns Daniela Vargas and Sydney Sasser, and we wish them well in their studies. Our fall interns Jessica Lujan, Brian Morgen and Daniel Pham started earlier this month, and we look forward to working with them! Earlier this summer, we welcomed Matthew Hawkins to our staff. He recently graduated from Kent State, our president’s alma mater! (You can read more about Kent State’s architecture school in our blog post.) Our administrative assistant Charysse Stallings’ son Deontae Hargrove will be playing football this fall for the Frostburg Bobcats. We’re all proud of his accomplishments! As our busy summer winds to a close, we look forward to more working on many more exciting, meaningful projects this fall. Do you have questions about religious, educational or commercial architecture projects? We’re here to help! Please feel free to reach out to us any time.

Washington Post: ‘I feel betrayed': Redskins fans erupt in fury after latest reports of front office dysfunction

Two fans at the end of the last Redskins season. (Photo by Toni L. Sandys/The Washington Post)

John Hunter Biebighauser follows politics, votes regularly, and keeps up with current events, but he had never signed a petition in his 33 years. That changed Wednesday night.

The cause that finally nudged him into put-your-name-on-the-line activism? Anger at Redskins President Bruce Allen, at the team’s chaotic front office and at the apparent ouster of beloved General Manager Scot McCloughan. Wait, really?

“It felt pretty stupid, to be honest … but I think they might actually read it, because they care so much about their image,” Biegbighauser said in a phone conversation late Wednesday night. And why now?

[A Redskins-McCloughan separation seems to be a question of when, not if]

“They’ve been an embarrassment for going on 20-plus years,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming. But it’s actually having something that appears to be good go away.”

That’s the easiest way to explain why Redskins fans detonated Wednesday night. Their fragile faith in this team had been patched together not just by the barely winning records of the past two seasons, but by the idea that a competent football man was running the organization — free from petty interference and the drama of the past. The Post’s blockbuster exhumation of the past few months, published Wednesday night, seems to have blown away the last wisps of that faith. For many, raw fury was left behind.

An online petition “to remove Bruce Allen from power,” launched late Wednesday afternoon, had more than 1,900 signatures by Thursday morning. A Redditor urged fans to bombard the Redskins with phone calls of protest. Some fans began organizing a Friday morning “March on Ashburn.” A popular Redskins blogger posted purported contact information for Allen. By Thursday morning, the Junkies on 106.7 The Fan were brainstorming ideas to tap into this anger, including creating a Bruce Allen piñata and inviting fans to “come down here and beat the hell out of it,” as host Eric Bickel proposed.

“Fill it with lies,” John Auville suggested.

Another host said the station could host a mini-circus inside its studios. Fans, a producer noted, could “get their faces painted with disappointment.”

This all sounds like hyperbole, and maybe it is. But I spent Wednesday night talking to random Redskins fans on the phone. They were almost distraught.

“I feel betrayed,” said Michael Pettiford, a season ticket holder the past six years who said there’s now a 5 percent chance he renews. “I mean, it’s an embarrassment, and I just can’t financially support it anymore. … They made a good hire with Scot McCloughan. But if they’re not going to let him operate, there’s no point in thinking the team’s going to be good. And you just can’t support it.”

dont think ive ever seen the fan base this riled up

this might be rock bottom

— Eric Bickel (@EBJunkies) March 9, 2017

Look, I’ve spent way too much of my life writing about angry D.C. sports fans. Sometimes — remember the start to this Wizards season — the angst later seems overblown. The team rallies, mistakes are corrected (or turn out not to have been mistakes), and the anger dissipates. That’s certainly possible here. And I’ve obviously sought out frustrated voices, because they’re the loudest and most quotable. But there’s a level of bleakness here you don’t really expect to find among NFL fans in early March.

[If you’re sick of the Redskins’ chaos, maybe it’s time to start following the Wizards]

“There was something about being a season ticket holder that made me feel like I was being a really good fan,” wrote Chris Wooden in an email. “When I went through my divorce or was laid off from my job, it was a sanctuary for me. I love hanging with the people I sit near and tailgate with. I love the atmosphere, even when half the fans are from the other team.”

Now? He also said he’s 95 percent sure that he’s done, even if he might still buy tickets on the secondary market. And he’s trying to encourage other season ticket holders to post their displeasure — and their account numbers — on social media, to show the front office that they’re real and they’re serious.

“I do know that the team does listen and feels embarrassed,” he wrote. ” I feel this is the only way that as fans we can show Snyder that we are not an open bank [and] will not keep spending money on a dysfunctional product.”

Thursday morning, I got a call from Kyle Spitzer, a 42-year old season-ticket holder from Rhode Island who travels to FedEx Field with his two sons five or six times a season. He told his sons on Thursday morning that they were done, and he ripped up his invoice.

“We’re just fed up. We all thought McCloughan was the savior,” Spitzer said. “They can all go rot. They’re depriving me and my family and millions of fans of what every fan wants: just a normal, stable organization. They don’t have to win every year. But we can’t even have that.”

That’s why this is all apparently happening now, after two winning seasons, in the middle of the offseason. Because the team’s down payment on respectability had been the spoken promise that finally, finally, finally they would be normal. Before McCloughan, they had hired a hotshot college coach in Steve Spurrier, a newcomer in Jim Zorn, a Super Bowl winner in Mike Shanahan, and a revered icon in Joe Gibbs. They had acquired prominent quarterbacks via free agency, via trade and via the draft. They tried non-prominent quarterbacks, too. They had invested in big-money out-of-town stars, and they had gotten big-money out-of-town assistant coaches.

But they had never really tried this: a respected football scout with a winning pedigree who wanted to do things the “right” way: building through the draft, stocking up on homegrown talent, remaining independent from ownership, keeping the sideshows at bay. And now McCloughan appears to be on the way out, with hope and faith following on his heels.

It’s not as bad as I thought.

It’s worse. https://t.co/cAxEui83iL

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) March 9, 2017

“For the first time we were establishing credibility and a clear direction. Now what was once our savior is being driven out of town,” wrote George Carmi in a series of late-night texts. “I have no faith in the front office, I distrust the owner and all of my favorite players are leaving. What do I have left?”

“Scot was what we thought was our last sort of hope,” said Matthew Cafritz, 26, who said this month’s chaos convinced his dad to give up his season tickets after 15 years. “I’ve never experienced winning football, but the consistency with which this team steps on its own foot is just insane. At this point, I’m trying to make the decision not to suffer through it for no reason, because they’ve given nothing to people my age. … I can’t in good conscience continue to think this team is worth investing four hours in every Sunday, or an entire weekend when I go home for the games. I’m kind of using Scot as a blessing in disguise; if they’re going to send him out of town, then finally I can stop being mocked for being a Redskins fan.”

“It’s just absolutely devastating,” said Greg McKillop, a D.C. native who now lives in California. McCloughan “just seemed to bring so much confidence about finding good players, building from the ground, drafting well. All these things, in my lifetime, have been massive cavities, and he was a guy that was going to fill them. And to find all this out, it’s really tough to swallow. I can’t really in good conscience consider supporting the team because, to me, that’s just like supporting Dan Snyder. And I’d rather eat a wine glass.”

“I have been a fan of the Redskins for over 20 years and my family has had season tickets since I was 6,” wrote Nader Pishdad, in an email he also attempted to send to Allen. “Never have I been so upset and despondent over the team. This is the bottom. … Consider this the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Similarly minded fans posted emails on social media that they were writing to the team, which were too profane for me to include. They talked about this being their lowest moment, an almost unimaginable claim for fans of a franchise that has been through so much over the past two decades. They got #FireBruceAllen trending on Twitter in D.C. They still hoped for a way out, too, which is why so many of them wanted to demonstrate their anger in a public forum. Maybe, they thought, the team just doesn’t understand how much of their faith was resting in McCloughan.

“Most Skins fans saw Scot as hope,” she said. “And if he’s gone, we’re losing hope, because that means Snyder hasn’t changed at all.”

Online petitions are less successful than a last-second Hail Mary, but she figured she might as well try, and so this 22-year old from Indiana eventually motivated a 33-year old from Atlanta to sign the first petition of his life. Unlike some of the other furious fans, Biebighauser said he could never start supporting another team. Still, he had grown up going to games with his season ticket holding grandparents, and he still has vague memories of the last Super Bowl season. This latest reboot felt like “a huge opportunity, and they’re just completely shooting themselves in the foot,” he said.

“It’s anger today, just because some of the specific things coming out,” he said. “I’m sure tomorrow I’ll go back to the apathy I had for 15 years before. It didn’t have to be that way.”

How’s Avaros the Welponze , and have you discovered anything new about them or their species?

Funny you should mention him as being Funny you should mention him as due to not so recent events I am currently not allowed to discuss due to it possibly “comprising an ongoing investigation” Avaros has now evolved!

Behold!

With further research of the diary found in the Methuselah family manor house we found that the evolutions name is Denarag classification pending. He has grown to a rather prodigious 10 feet long and four feet high! He was rather miffed in this shot as he no longer fit under the furniture where he had stashed all his precious shinies, we did a fish them all out eventually. He has even claimed a small cave for himself though he still prefers to sleep with us so I currently think that he’s getting a place to store his hoard as it is cave with an entrance he can barely squeeze into. We have also seen him miraculously flying! Well flying is a bit of a stretch as it was more gliding but given his weight and the comparatively small size of his wings, and you really should not be able to do even that.

The more interesting thing is the way that his body has seemingly been completely coated in precious metals. I have no idea where he got the gold, but prior to his evolution he had apparently got his way into the silver supplements and eaten the lot before I went on the trip where the aforementioned events occurred. His skills also appear to be some sort of compound that has greatly increased the defensive capabilities of these precious metals. This is also getting him the steel typing.

Do you know of any Noivern variations?

Why yes I do! There are two major groups in hybrids and true variants. For the former there are two major strains, the first is the Zubat/noibat hybrid though most would say that it is a zubat hybrid more as it is noibat/zubat, noibat/golbat then noivern/crobat I personally think it in more Noivern based on the fact that the main body plan is Noivern line with the exception of the middle evolution where the golbat takes more president. One of the best things about. Wobat Hi, Brady is how very fluffy they are they are also able to “sing“ while it’s very melodious from a distance it’s not great to be directly nearby them at the time.

Now when it comes to variations outside of hybridization, you have a couple interesting candidates, such as what is known as the vampiric Noibat, this line externally has very little to distinguish it from normal Noibat However Inside their mouths are razor teeth that are designed to carve small incisions into much larger. Pokémon from which they will lick up the blood, healthy, large animal doesn’t notice this is from a compound in the noibat’s saliva that acts as a local anesthetic, and once they start laughing at the blood, it works as a anticoagulant. Once they evolve into Noivern they will completely abandon blood drinking as their primary form of sustenance, as they are far more capable of taking down prey now, they do have two razor fangs in the front of their mouth which are repurposed for more deadly bite. The second is the berry Noibat. These are primarily herbivorous, eating berries as their main diet. One of the on the parts of this variation is the fact that the.Noibat I rather large while the Noivern is much smaller than usual.

Hello, I wanted to check to see how the water dragon type Monferno/Monferal I left in your care is doing? Has he evolved yet? Due to the DNA I used being from a 2 stage line I fear it may not be able to. -Prof. Wolfsbane

No, he has not evolved as of yet. We are currently uncertain whether he is or not able to. We did have some plans to do a evolite Test soon, so will get back to you on that once it comes up. He is settled well here and he seems to enjoy the damp enclosure and the trees and Trfion has enjoyed the occasional visits to his pool

So has Níðhöggr’s always had issues with chewing and biting?

He has indeed!as I have previously mentioned that’s how I first met him, via him biting me on the leg.Thankfully after the Pawniard incident he is more careful about what he actually tries to eat.

As far as I can tell he never really grew out of that phase of Deino where they examine the world with their mouths. Another part of it is he just really likes to chew on things, Dr. Seraphi Told me that it is most likely that he enjoys the feeling of chewing more than he is what he is chewing or being too hungry. Currently his favorite item to chew is old tires, he seem to enjoy their rubbery texture.

As for biting him, thankfully we’ve been able to get him to only do “love bites” he generally does this to new people or to people he’s known for a long time, the former is gentle nips once or twice, more akin to gumming with his secondary mouths. The latter involves him latching on with one of his secondary mouths and gently gumming you for a few minutes, it’s honestly kind of endearing.

Do you work with any Dragon variations or subspecies?

Why yes we do! I will soon tell the story of a Charizard/Dragonite hybrid came to us who we are currently working on helping his PTSD, as for variants we have a few the first and foremost is… ya know I’ve never actually written his name before… I’ll just sound it out for y’all. Yor-E-us is a lake Variant Drampa who has been in the lake as far back as the records go even back to when professor Methuselah‘s ancestors for settle this valley centuries ago. And he is gigantic, he Is water dragon type though with all the moss and algae that grows on him you think he’s a grass type, we’ve looked and it doesn’t seem to be causing any harm so we leave it be since he seems to like it. Another variant we have is shortstack , A pygmy variant Tyrantrum he is about half The size of your average Tyrantrum and he is rather friendly. The greatest amount of sub species comes from Avery’s collection of different apple splint evos! I believe he currently has documented The following outside of Galarian sweet and tart: Of the flapples,Granny Smith, pink ladies, McIntosh and Empire. Of the Appletun Fuji , Ambrosia and Golden delicious. I don’t think we have any other sub species but if you do come across any that need a home feel free to send them our way!

Hi, sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth, I had some identity stuff to figure out but I'm back now, by the way how's the Drakto I left in your care a while back? I hope it's doing well. ~Professor Wolfsbane

Oh, it has been a while I hope you are as physically well as you are emotionally at the moment. They are doing pretty well we managed to get the tyrant line to understand that they were not on the menu and they’ve been thriving in our little subtropical habitat, they have been enjoying the ferns that we grow in there, so I suppose that’s probably close to what they ate naturally as They don’t seem to have a very strong bite force, which is kind of ironic, given who they’re living with. Oddly though they also seem to enjoy eating moss Which I didn’t see coming.
