The whip image is great!

Just thought I'd offer, though, if you (or anyone else) is having trouble with an image, Sugarfreecandy Graphics Ltd. is open & ready for business... No charge for the ladies, though I might charge the men a grope or two. Anyone who needs help resizing, colouring, or otherwise editing an image is more than welcome to PM me for help, and I'll either help with instructions or get that person to e-mail me the troublesome graphic so I can work on it... Any excuse to play with pics, as far as I'm concerned --- I'm almost as addicted to Photoshop (and Illustrator to a lesser extent) as I am to Pixies', and we all know that's really saying something!!!

p.s. Today's trivia: the word 'avatar' is from the Sanskrit, and in Hindu mythology refers specifically to the earthly incarnations of Vishnu, one of the principal gods. Much like Jesus, as part of the Holy Trinity, can be seen as an incarnation of God, Vishnu's avatars are still Vishnu but also have unique characteristics of their own. Vishnu has 10 avatars: namely, Matsya the Fish, Kurma the Tortoise, Varaha the Boar, Narasimha the Man-lion, Vamana the Dwarf, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. Kalki has not yet appeared; all the others have already come to restore the cosmic balance of good and evil. Kalki is awaited at the end of the present era of darkness (the Kali Yuga) to again restore the universe to a state of balance and bring great wealth and prosperity.

Okay, I'll get off the lecture podium now...
