Go to Permadi’s Java Applet Gallery and try out "Kaleidoscope Painter".
Loudoun County will probably want this web site blocked or removed.

I am sure Mohammedans will go berserk. But that does not mean they are correct and we should also follow suit. This guy, Balasubramaniam, being a realtor by profession should know better. When you buy a property that is governed by an association then you have to abide by the rules. The association did not ask him to remove the kolam the same day it was painted, they asked to remove only after he left it there permanently. And come on, it is not some kind of small symbolic kolam. It is a big one covering the entire drive way and in my opinion leaving it there permanently does not increase the aesthetic value of your home for sure.

Does the HOA acting like jerks here? Sure but Balasubramaniam, in spite of being a realtor and knowing the stupid things these association guys do, gave his ass to them when he signed the papers. He can take them to the court and probably will get a favorable verdict. Other wise he has to suck it up and remove the kolam. But I would say choose your fight. Is it really worth taking few morons to the court? Probably not.
