New York Int'l Children's Film Festival is North America's largest festival of film for children and teens and stands at the forefront of a movement to define a new, more provocative and compelling film for kids. Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Bill Plympton, Christine Vachon, James Schamus, Henry Selick and Gus van Sant are on the NYICFF Jury. As an Academy®-qualifying Festival, winners of NYICFF's juried prizes are eligible for Oscar® consideration in the Animated and Live Action Short Film categories.
What we are looking for:
Each year the festival scours the globe to present a highly selective slate of the best animation, live action, documentary and experimental film from around the world. We are looking for creative, original, non-formulaic short and feature films that support our mission to create a more dynamic film culture for children and teens. We often program films that were not created with a young audience in mind, but are received passionately and enthusiastically by attendees ages 3-18 nonetheless. We are not shy about showing films with mature themes, subject matter, language or sensibilities.

A ruptured eardrum is an opening or hole in the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin piece of tissue that separates the outer and middle ear. Damage to the eardrum may harm hearing.
Tympanic membrane perforation; Eardrum - ruptured or perforated; Perforated eardrum
Ear infections may cause a ruptured eardrum. This occurs more often in children. The infection causes pus or fluid to build up behind the eardrum. As the pressure increases, the eardrum may break open (rupture).
Damage to the eardrum can also occur from:
Ear pain may suddenly decrease right after your eardrum ruptures.
After the rupture, you may have:
The doctor will look in your ear with an instrument called an otoscope. If the eardrum is ruptured, the doctor will see an opening in it. The bones of the middle ear may also be visible.
Pus draining from the ear may make it harder for the doctor to see the eardrum.
Audiology testing can measure how much hearing has been lost.
You can take steps at home to treat ear pain.
Keep the ear clean and dry while it is healing.
Your health care provider may prescribe antibiotics (oral or ear drops) to prevent or treat an infection.
Sometimes the health care provider may place a patch over the eardrum to speed healing. Surgical repair of the eardrum (tympanoplasty ) may be needed if the eardrum does not heal on its own.
The opening in the eardrum usually heals by itself within 2 months. Any hearing loss is most often short-term.
Rarely, other problems may occur, such as:
If your pain and symptoms improve after your eardrum ruptures, you may wait until the next day to see your health care provider.
Call your health care provider right away after your eardrum ruptures if you:
Do not insert objects into the ear canal, even to clean it. Objects stuck in the ear should only be removed by a health care provider. Have ear infections treated promptly.

4 Epic Generation X Power StruggleRambo456 | 22/10/2010 | See all Rambo456's reviews (1259)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Gadgets Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer When I first heard about this, I was a bit apprehensive, as it sounded very gimmicky.But I reserved my judgement based on the Writer and the Director, as their track record didnt indicate they would cash in.The Facebook movie as it turns out is Much Better Than It Should Be.Thanks to the tightly plotted script by the West Wing Creator Aaron Sorkin, sharp Direction from David Fincher, director of Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac.And all round Excellent acting, especially by Jesse Eisenberg.Unlike some of Reviews in the Media im not saying its a classic by any means, but it is a very enjoyable, intelligent and intriguing watch.
2 Zzzzzzzzalexizdaman | 30/01/2011 | See all alexizdaman's reviews (15)i went to see this when it was new out with my gf and i was so bored i was falling asleep. there was no humour and it was all talking. if your a huge facebook fan then maybe you may like it but the only reason why we watched it was because we travelled a long way to watch a film and then it was fully booked so ended up watching this boring thing. in my opinion one of the worst films of 2010.
4 Informative, Intersting, Recommend!!!Nathan444 | 21/11/2010 | See all Nathan444's reviews (274)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Gadgets Reviewer Well well well. Facebook the movie... Apprehensive i was... but for completely no reason at all.This really is one of the best movies of the year. Brilliantly put together with some great acting. It certainly gives you the whole perspective on one of the biggest revolutions that have happened this decade!I must say this is very informative, interesting and somewhat substantially mind blowing. Mark zukerberg i have to say is an outstanding bloke. 10's of thousands of lines of coding. Now thats some complex stuff.If you want a good film... an enjoyable one at that. Then i would recommend this. 4/5
5 My best film of 2010, maybeClockworkOwen19 | 21/01/2011 | See all ClockworkOwen19's reviews (112)Top 100 Toys Reviewer Ever since the trailer was released, this film had me shivering in anticipation!Big fan of David Fincher, so I was going to go and watch it anyway but I was amazed at how well I thought Jesse Eisenberg did. I thought he was fantastic; smart yet cocky, sarcastic and brutal, he was the perfect choice to cast for the part.I definiatly think this is the film of 2010 for me, this or Toy Story.
2 DullKayTeeTay | 21/02/2011 | See all KayTeeTay's reviews (2)I was really looking forward to watching this film but sadly I have to say it was a bit of a disappointment. I found it very dull and boring.

Vacations! Time for travels, fun, playing and, of course, books!
I bought some books to read in this vacation while I am traveling to the south in a family reunion for Christmas and New Year. So this is my dear little list:
- As Esganadas by Jô Soares
- The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Lord of the Rings (The Two Towers and The Return of the King) by J.R.R. Tolkien
- Game of Thrones: Book One by George R.R. Martin
- The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
- Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (for valid arguments against fangirls and "how to learn its formula of unbelievable success")
And some fanfics that friends of mine wrote and want some critique about their stories, narrations and grammar.
What about you guys?

New Player Guide
Welcome to Empire Minecraft! This simple guide will teach you all the essentials of EMC and properly prepare you for our wonderful server. If you forget something, or would like additional information, feel free to have a look around the rest of the Empire Wiki (use /help commands or ask online players in-game.)
Empire Minecraft is made up of ten different servers, all joined together to make up one Community. Each server is different in its own way, so explore them all and meet new people! There is no need to disconnect to change servers. Join IP: emc.gs and change between the servers with a simple command.
/server smp# - switch servers on the Empire
A shorter version of the command is /smp#
There are five Worlds on each server: Town, Frontier, Wastelands, End, and Empire Shop.
This is where you will start the game on your very own 60 x 60 residence. This world is made up of protected Residences owned by members of the Community. In addition, mobs will not spawn and there is no fall damage nor weather changes to worry about. No one can build on your residence without you giving them permission, so it is grief-proof. Use your residence to build your dream house, start a shop, or create anything else you can think of. The choice is yours (as long as it follows our rules)!
/home - teleport back to your residence from anywhere in Town or Wilderness spawns
/Town - teleport to Town spawn
/v ##### - teleport to the residence number ####
/v playername - teleport to the residence owned by [playername]
Explore the far reaches of the world and build outposts with your friends. Once you leave the spawn location, you can only return by traveling back to the spawn by foot, so be careful and take plenty of supplies with you. If you get lost, consult the Live Map to find your way back. Protect your items by locking them in chests for a small fee. Although this world is not protected against griefing, please respect what others have built. Those caught stealing other players' items or destroying their builds will be banned from the server per our rules.
/Frontier n, s, e, w, m - to go to designated outposts.
/nether - go to the Frontier's Nether world
This world is used for gathering resources to sell to shops or to keep for yourself. It is reset periodically so there is always fresh resources for everyone to gather. If you get lost, consult the Live Map to find your way back. Please do not build here, as it can be reset at any time and you may lose your items. Even though no one should build, griefing is still not allowed. Those caught stealing other players' items or destroying their builds will be banned from the server per our rules.
/Wastelands - teleport to a random Wastelands outpost from Town/Wastelands n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, c - to go to designated outposts.
/wnether - go to the Wastelands Nether World
/[direction] - a quick way to get to designated outposts.
This is a non-resetting world. Unlike other worlds, there isn't a command to teleport to it, so to get there you must find the End Portal in the Wastelands or Frontier on each server.
Empire Shop
The Empire Shop is an unlimited store with high prices to encourage player shops and cap normal server prices. It is recommended to buy and sell from other players, instead of from the Empire Shop. All prices in the Empire Shop have a large markup. This is to keep a cap on prices and to prevent inflation. Occasionally, Special Event Items and Promotional Items will be temporarily sold in the Empire Shop to allow players to buy additional items.
/shop - Teleport to the shop world from Town
Empire Assistant
The ultimate source for Commands is the Empire Assistant. This perfect new player tool will help you get around and achieve basic Commands without actually knowing the Commands. You can obtain an Empire Assistant by typing /assist new. You are limited to one assistant per server per 48 hours.
By using the command /assist it will bring up a handy menu of buttons that will use Commands for you. At the same time, each button is titled with a display of what command it will be using for you, so it also helps you learn over time.
Here is a screenshot of what to expect when using this feature:
Rupees and Tokens
Rupees are the official currency of the Empire. Almost anything can be bought using them, and you can earn them in a variety of ways. Your rupee account is cross server, meaning any Rupees you have on SMP1, you also have on SMP2, SMP3, SMP4 and so on. You will automatically gain 2,000 Rupees upon completion of the tutorial and up to an additional 11,000 Rupees for completing tasks such as signing up on the Forums, etc. You will also receive various items that help you get started such as armor, diamonds, a horse, etc. It is smart to keep these items and not sell them off because they do come in handy while you learn the different aspects of the Empire.
/r pay PlayerName Amount - Pay someone Rupees. Example: /r pay Aikar 9001
/r - Check your rupee balance. If you click the (learn more) while in-game, it will take you to the wiki page.
Tokens are a special currency earned on Empire Minecraft for when a player completes a challenging task such as defeating Custom Mobs such as Enraged Zombie, Momentus or Marlix. The number of Tokens earned will scale based on the player's personal difficulty level, but may be affected by other factors such as number of player deaths nearby (In other words, constantly dieing will reduce Tokens earned).
Unlike Rupees, Tokens must be earned by a player and cannot be traded or gifted.
To allow you to customize your residence as much as possible, the Empire has lots of Flags to control your residence. Flags are like permissions, they say what people can and can't do on your residence. Do not give Flags to people you don't completely trust.
/res info - Check residence info. Shows you all Flags on the residence as well as the residence number. If you cannot travel onto the residence due to move restrictions, click on the ground with a piece of string to bring up the residence information.
/res set [flag] t - To give a flag to everyone
/res set [flag] f - To remove a flag from everyone
"Pset" stands for playerset, meaning you're setting Flags for another player.
/res pset [name] [flag] t - To give a flag to a single person
/res pset [name] [flag] f - To remove a flag from a single person
/res pset [name] [flag] r - To reset a single person's flag back to default
On each server you will have a separate inventory. Do not be alarmed if your items on one smp do not show up on another smp. You must manually transfer the items across the servers with your Vault. The cost is 10 Rupees every time you open it, however you may use the command again for free for 5 minutes after you open it. One page can hold a double chest worth of items. It is also expandable for 10,000 Rupees per page or via redemption of a Vault Voucher if you would like extra room. Once you have 5 Vault pages, you will no longer pay for each time you open it.
/Vault - opens your first Vault page
Horses cannot travel in your Vault. Therefore, in order to transfer them across the servers, we developed a Stables system. It is free to stable and unstable your horse on each server. For more details on horses, see Horse and Stables Commands. Outside of Town it costs 100r to summon from a stable. Storing a horse is always free.
/stable - views the horses in your stable
/stable store - stores currently mounted horse
/stable summon [#] - summons a horse at your current location
Empire Minecraft has many different Chat channels in order to better assist each player. The channel can be changed by typing /Chat (channel). Alternatively, you can click on the icons in-game to automatically change Chat channels. They are explained as follows:
(T) Town - Used for normal communication between the Community. Can only be heard in Town.
(L) Local - Used for communication with players that are nearby. If no one can hear you, it will alert you.
(R) Residence - Used for communication on a single residence. Limitations are your residence boundaries.
(G) Group - Used for communication between members in your Group
(S) Supporter - Used only by supporters. Works in Town or the Frontier/Wastelands.
(E) Economy - Used for discussing economy related things.
(M) Moderator - Used only by the staff team. Inaccessible by other players.
/tell playername - Used to start a private conversation with playername. These messages will appear in purple on your screen. Other players cannot see these messages. They are private between you and the player you are speaking to, though can be accessed by Senior Staff members if you are under investigation for breaking one of our rules.
**Note: If someone is bothering you and you do not want to see their Chat any more, you can ignore the player with the command /ignore playername
If you forget what the Chat Commands are, type /Chat in-game. A description of all the Commands will pop up in your Chat screen like this screenshot:
The forums are a great place to find out what is going on in the Community. You can find things such as auctions, buying and selling of items, community events and updates/news on what is going on in the Empire. You can also see players' creative side with pictures, videos and music areas.
Take a look around the Forums and get to know our players. Don't be afraid to post on topics, put yourself out there and become a part of the EMC Community. Everyone is welcome!
Start off with introducing yourself by creating a thread in the Introduce Yourself section.
Welcome to the Empire!

BlackBerry phones | BlackBerry Curve 9360 review
Picking up the 9360, first impressions are excellent. The phone is the exact same height and width as the 9300, but 3mm have been shaved off the thickness, making the device much sleeker to hold, and it looks much more purposeful too. At 99g it feels astonishingly light to hold, though never flimsy. In fact, it's as solid and well-built as any BlackBerry. The fabulous keyboard has been retained, of course. The 2.44 inch display is the same size as the old Curve, but the number of pixels has more than doubled. It's still a small screen though, and this limits any chance the Curve has of being mistaken for a media phone. It's well and truly a business phone, but that's OK with us. The operating system has been upgraded to BlackBerry 7, which should be a seamless transition for old Curve users. The new operating system has several refinements, including much better integration of social networking including facebook and twitter. This certainly helps to boost the usefulness of the Curve as an all-round communications and messaging machine. The upgraded 800MHz processor gives the phone a certain amount of oomph! Coupled with 512MB of RAM, the user interface shows virtually no lag, and even apps such as web browsing and BlackBerry Maps show no sign of slowing down. Media-wise, the Curve 9360 has an uprated 5 megapixel camera, but it's no great shakes, lacking autofocus and being able to record video at just VGA resolution. The music player works well enough, and you can plug in a stereo headset using the 3.5mm audio jack or pipe your music wirelessly via Bluetooth. The phone has aGPS with BlackBerry Maps, which doesn't really come anywhere nearing Google Maps, especially with that small screen. Similarly, the web browser, whilst fast, isn't suitable for more than basic browsing. Connectivity is good, with quadband GSM and 3G available for roaming, plus the option of Wi-Fi for faster data access. There's even support for Near Field Communication (NFC) if you can find a use for it. But what idiot had the bright idea of equipping the 9360 with such an underpowered battery? It's just 1000mAh, which is smaller than the Curve 9300 and really isn't enough for a serious phone. It's part of the compromise needed to make the 9360 so thin, but we can't help feeling it's a mistake. The BlackBerry Curve is a mid-to-high end business phone, sitting between the Curve 9320 and the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in price and spec. Media device it is NOT. Smart-looking yet slim and lightweight business phone it certainly is. But the battery life is a huge disappointment. We think you'd be better off in many ways buying the cheaper Curve 9320, which has the same operating system and a proper heavy-duty battery. BlackBerry Curve 9360 features include:

Product Description
Available while supplies last.
Faucet not included.
Devon Classic Round Vessel Sink
Yosemite Home Decor's Devon Classic Round Vessel Sink is made of polished green granite stone. This green granite vessel sink is essentially hand carved; however, the help of some modern tools like small diamond saws and handheld polishing tools have been employed. Because it is hand carved, you can expect small variations in the size and shape of the Devon sink. Generally, a size allowance of a quarter of an inch to an inch is given.
- Hand carved from a single piece of natural stone
- To maintain the beauty of your natural sink, wipe after use with a soft cloth. In addition, clean regularly with granite or marble cleaner
- Stone surfaces can be easily etched by cleaning products containing acids. Clean, polish and seal only with products meant for natural stone materials
- Centered 1.5'' drain placement
Note: Stone is acquired from different areas of a quarry, meaning the coloration of the actual bowls will vary from the picture shown.

Tennessee LLC Operating Agreement
The Tennessee LLC Operating Agreement is the core document that is referred to when issues
concerning a Tennessee limited liability
company ("LLC") need to be resolved.
The LLC
Operating Agreement is the most important document for your Tennessee LLC.
In the case of a single member LLC, without the formality
of an LLC Operating Agreement, the LLC can closely resemble
a sole proprietorship, which does not limit your personal
liability for business debts of the LLC.
With respect to a multi-member LLC, the LLC Operating Agreement reflects the agreement among the members with
respect to the affairs and management of the LLC and governs
the relationship amongst the members of the LLC. By having
an LLC Operating Agreement, the members will be provided
with a clear set of rules that all members have agreed upon
greatly reducing the likelihood of disagreement between
them in the future. A LLC Operating Agreement will also
greatly reduce financial and management misunderstandings,
and make sure your business is governed by your own rules
-- not default rules created by the state of Tennessee.
Need a LLC Operating Agreement for your Tennessee LLC?
will generate a customized LLC Operating agreement for your
Tennessee LLC in a matter of minutes.
Whether your LLC
will have one or more members, will be managed by its members
or by elected managers, or will be granting one or more
members an interest in the LLC for the performance of services,
myLLCagreement.com will generate a customized LLC operating
agreement tailored to the needs of your business.
If you don't want
to spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer and don't trust
outdated internet forms, then let myLLCagreement.com help
you create a customized LLC operating agreement for your
Tennessee LLC.
The LLC operating
agreement does not have to be filed with any state agency.
All states, including the state of Tennessee will enforce
valid operating agreements entered into among LLC members.
The operating agreement will only be enforced against the
persons who are parties to the agreement. Therefore, it
is extremely important that all members of an LLC sign the
operating agreement.

Entity or Franchise
Level Tax
Limited partnerships and LLCs taxable as partnerships
are subject to the franchise and excise taxes in Tennessee. Neither a general partnership nor a single-member
LLC whose sole member is a corporation is subject to the
tax. The franchise
tax is imposed at the rate of 25 cents per $100 or major
fraction thereof, of a taxpayer's net worth.
Net worth is defined as the difference between a
taxpayer's total assets and total liabilities. An excise tax of 6% is imposed on the net earnings
from business done in Tennessee.
Tennessee imposes an annual fee of $50 per member
of the LLC. Tennessee also requires all partnerships and
LLCs to pay an annual 6 percent tax on stock dividends and
bond interest received.
State LLC Act
The Tennessee LLC Act is contained in Title 48, Chapter 201-248
of the Tennessee Code.
On June 1, 2005, Tennessee Governor
Phil Bredesen signed into law the Tennessee Revised Limited
Liability Company Act (the "New Act"), which became
effective on January 1, 2006.
The New Act applies only
to (i) any LLC formed in Tennessee on or after January 1,
2006 and (ii) any LLC formed in Tennessee before January
1, 2006 that files an amendment to its articles of organization
in which it elects to be governed by the New Act. The Old
Act continues to govern all LLCs formed in Tennessee before
January 1, 2006 that do not elect to be governed by the
New Act.
Important Statutory
LLC Management
One of the most significant changes from the
Old Act to the New Act is the change in available management
structures for LLCs. The Old Act contained two possible
management structures for LLCs: member-managed and governor-managed.
Under the New Act there are three possible LLC management
structures. The first is a member-managed structure, which
is similar to the member-managed structure under the Old
Act in that members have powers like those of general partners
of a general partnership. The second structure is a manager-managed
structure, in which the members elect managers that have
powers similar to those of general partners of a limited
partnership. The third is a director-managed structure,
in which the LLC has a board of directors and officers like
a corporation. Also, the requirement that each LLC have
an individual acting as Chief Manager, as well as the concept
of having a Chief Manager at all, have both disappeared
in the New Act. If there is to be a chief executive, that
person may now be called any title desired by the LLC.
Admission of Members
Unless otherwise provided, new interests in the LLC must
be issued with the consent of all the members. Unless otherwise
provided in the Operating Agreement, the admission of a
transferee as a member must be approved by the members holding
a majority of the capital interests of the LLC.
Amending the Operating Agreement
otherwise provided in the Operating Agreement, amendments
to the Operating Agreement require approval of a majority
of members.
the New Act, the termination of a membership interest never
automatically triggers the dissolution of an LLC.

Arcane Legends (By Spacetime Studios)
The newest addition to Spacetime Studios' mobile and desktop Legends franchise will deliver intense cross-platform, multiplayer combat with Arcane Legends. This new action RPG will be available for iOS, Android and Chrome in early fall 2012.
Players will choose from three classes: powerful Warriors, devious Rogues or mysterious Sorcerers; each with their own set of abilities. Party members will be able to combine their abilities to unlock explosive combos for devastating effects. As players level, they choose to specialize in certain skills, allowing them to further customize characters to suit their play style. The core of Arcane Legends is the groundbreaking combat system that will deliver the most fast-paced, action-oriented co-op and player-vs-player gameplay of any Legends title. Players will decide whether to use multiple quick attacks or take the time to charge up and land more destructive strikes. Determining when to utilize a fully charged "rage meter" that unleashes special high-powered attacks unique to each class will also be critical to success. "With every Legends title we are focused on bringing something distinct to cross-platform gaming. With Arcane Legends we set out to create an action RPG with a clever and funny story, meaningful multiplayer gameplay and above all furious fast-paced tactical combat," said Gary Gattis, CEO, Spacetime Studios. The previous Legends titles, fantasy Pocket Legends, sci-fi Star Legends and horror Dark Legends have been downloaded more than eight million times, making it the worlds most downloaded mobile MMO series and the worlds largest cross-platform mobile/desktop MMO franchise. Stay up to date with Arcane Legends news on the web at www.ArcaneLegendsGame.com and on Facebook. |
Really liked Pocket Legends until they ruined it. Now all of their games are almost similiar - with a different theme. And thats not a good thing.
I played star legends to death, and still have dark legends on chrome, but what's the theme of this, it sounds the same as PL.
I think they run out of themes. |
yeah excited about this one
The biggest difference between Arcane Legends and its predecessor Pocket Legends is the pet system. Pets fight for you, fetch loot that drops, and give you a buff. As they adventure with you, they level, too, so their attacks are stronger. They need to be fed and at first that can be pretty spendy, but after the first few days of play you can use daily rewards to earn enough to keep your pet fed. But if not, they can be dismissed to a stable where they get fed, but it takes time. It's a gold sink. If you've played other STS games you know that after a while there is more gold than anything else, so the players trade gear for outlandish prices. Pets can give the players a better thing to do with their gold.
Arcane Legends has allies like Dark Legends, but they are NPCs in towns who perform tasks over time. At present the timer is only a 24 hour clock, no 2 hour missions, and no 30 second missions like in Dark Legends. These allies only get you money at the moment. Potions are another gold sink. The price point is relative to that used in Star Legends when it was launched. In Star Legends the players got around this by remaking one toon and leveling it to 5 to use the stash to store the starting potions. Five such remakes would generate enough potions to equal a "premium charcter", a special in-game purchase that gave starting players a better chance to succeed. Arcane Legends again offers this feature, but only provides starter gear. Additional starting gear purchases can be bought from the store. The gear is called Founder's gear, a nod to the predecessor Pocket Legends in which the Founder's Helm is highly prized. Characters can be male warriors, female rogues, or strange little blue mages. Each character has eight skills, four can be shown on screen at a time. Each of the eight skills has five levels, and the at each level increase, a different aspect of the skill is enhanced. The Skyward Smash for instance, is AL's version of the PL Stomp skill for warriors. At second level it increases area of effect, at third damage, and so on. Mages have a healing skill to assist the party that even heals mana loss. Rogue skills are also similar to Some PL archer skills. Rogues have fewer AoE but more ranged attacks. Like other games from STS, most interaction happens in towns and most combat occurs in instanced dungeons. It isn't an open world of respawning critters. The mobs in the instanced dungeons do not respawn. To fight more, you remake the instance. There are 15 levels at this time, and the game is released in a limited edition on Google Play in Australia and Canada for Android. The client was submitted to Apple a few weeks ago, according to the moderator at their official messageboard. We asked point blank and he said yes it was already sent to Apple. STS games can be played in iOS, Android, Chrome, and Flash versions, all using the same servers. At the moment, however, this game can only be played on Android devices, and the apk can only be downloaded in the Australian and Canadian regions. This is the load testing phase. I asked, when DL was put out in a similar release, why they would limit it to such a small sample of players, and was surprised when the CEO answered to explain that they were doing like a stress test of the servers. I don't know the details of that, but it does make sense that they would pick Australia and Canada, as those two english speaking countries have players who log in at different times of the day. The first bad guys are goblins, and theynaren't too difficult, but the bosses can be a pain. Also, the bosses aren't at the end of the zones, but in the middle or between the middle and the end, so I expect to see players quitting instances halfway because they are only grinding mobs. It is, in the end, a game from STS and grinding is the order of the day. They only had one game without requiring the grind so far but the player base seemed to protest to the energy mechanic and allies system. So there is no energy system and the grind is back, but now we have pets that advance with us. On a side note, the pets size doesn't change as they mature, so the wolf cub will always be that cute little guy from the teaser trailer. But who knows? Maybe that will change. Overall, I loved the game. I liked having epic drops at low level. I liked my pet friends, especially Ribbit my frog. And I loved the funny blue mage being. I am hoping for some back story on the mage's species. One downside so far, the mage doesn't "rev" so if you die, you can respawn at the start and walk back (I have missed a few boss drops doing this), or spend in-game currency to be revived on the spot, which I did a few times. It cost 1 plat, and 50 plat cost 5 dollars, so basically, a dime. |

Cliff Drysdale Cliff Drysdale has an impressive resume as a tennis player, commentator, director and stadium designer. One of the first players to ever use a two-handed backhand, his 33 singles titles rank him among the top 50 players of all time. During the height of his playing days, he held the national singles championships of Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland and South Africa. Mr. Drysdale played a major role in the development of professional tennis by being elected to serve as the first president of the ATP in 1972-73, and was a player representative on the Men's Tennis Council from 1974-81. He also served four years on the National Executive Committee of the United States Tennis Association and six years on the National Board of the United States Professional Tennis Association.
Cliff Drysdale went from making the shots to calling them as the game's preeminent tennis announcer on ABC Sports and the ESPN network. In both 1982 and 1991, his work earned him the title of "Best Tennis Commentator" in a poll of Tennis magazine readers.
Owen DavidsonIn the history of tennis, only twelve people have won a personal Grand Slam. Australian Owen Davidson is one of them. His 15-year career is highlighted by 12 Grand Slam titles.
His partnership with Leslie Turner and Billie Jean King produced the personal Grand Slam in 1967, as Davidson captured the Australian, French, U.S. Open and Wimbledon championships. "Davo" went on to win the Australian Open doubles with Ken Rosewall in 1972, and the U.S. Open doubles with John Newcombe in 1973. Davidson won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open four times each. His four Wimbledon conquests captured him the title as male player with the most mixed doubles crowns at the All England Club. He is one of five men who have won the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament four times.
Davidson was a valued member of five championship Australian Davis Cup teams from 1962-1967. Although doubles is his forte, he also plays an impressive singles game. A career highlight came in 1966 at the Wimbledon semi-finals, when he narrowly lost a thrilling five-set match to, eventual champion, Manolo Santana.

A lymphangiogram is a special x-ray of the lymph nodes and lymph vessels. Lymph nodes produce white blood cells (lymphocytes) that help fight infections. The lymph nodes also filter and trap cancer cells.
The lymph nodes and vessels are not seen on a normal x-ray , so a dye or radioisotope (radioactive compound) is injected into the body to highlight the area being studied.
Lymphography; Lymphangiography
You may be offered medicine to help you relax before the test.
You sit in a special chair or on an x-ray table. The health care provider cleans your feet, and then injects a small amount of blue dye into the area (called webbing) between your toes.
Thin, bluish lines appear on the top of the foot within 15 minutes. These lines identify the lymph channels. The health care provider numbs the area, makes a small surgical cut near one of the larger blue lines, and inserts a thin flexible tube into a lymph channel. This is done on each foot. Dye (contrast medium) flows through the tube very slowly, over a period of 60 to 90 minutes.
Another method may also be used. Instead of injecting blue dye between your toes, your doctor may numb the skin over your groin and then insert a thin needle under ultrasound guidance into a lymph node in your groin. Contrast will be injected through the needle and into the lymph node using an type of pump called an insufflator.
A type of x-ray machine, called a fluoroscope, projects the images on a TV monitor. The health care provider uses the images to follow the dye as it spreads through the lymphatic system up your legs, groin, and along the back of the abdominal cavity.
Once the dye is completely injected, the catheter is removed and stitches are used to close the surgical cut. The area is bandaged. X-rays are taken of the legs, pelvis, abdomen, and chest areas. More x-rays may be taken the next day.
If the test is being done to see if breast cancer or melanoma has spread, the blue dye is mixed with a radioactive compound. Images are taken to watch how the substance spreads to other lymph nodes. This can help your doctor better understand where the cancer has spread when a biopsy is being performed.
You must sign a consent form. You may be asked to not eat or drink for several hours before the test. You may wish to empty your bladder just before the test.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant or you have bleeding problems. Also mention if you have had an allergic reaction to x-ray contrast material or any iodine-containing substance.
If you are having this test done with sentinel lymph node biopsy (for breast cancer and melanoma), you will need to prepare for the operating room. A surgeon and anesthesiologist will tell you how to prepare for the procedure.
Some persons feel a brief sting when the blue dye and numbing medicines are injected. You may feel pressure as the dye starts to flow into your body, particularly behind the knees and in the groin area.
The surgical cuts will be sore for a few days. The blue dye causes skin, urine, and stool discoloration for about 2 days.
A lymphangiogram is used with lymph node biopsy to determine the possible spread of cancer and the effectiveness of cancer therapy.
Contrast dye and x-rays are used to help determine the cause of swelling in an arm or leg and check for diseases that may be caused by parasites.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
Enlarged lymph nodes (swollen glands ) that have a foamy appearance may be a sign of lymphatic cancer.
Nodes or parts of the nodes that do not fill with the dye suggest a blockage and may be a sign of cancer spreading through the lymph system. Blockage of the lymph vessels may be caused by tumor , infection, injury, or previous surgery.
Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Risks related to the injection of the dye (contrast medium) may include:
There is low radiation exposure. However, most experts feel that the risk of most x-rays is smaller than other risks we take every day. Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

Although there are an abundance of things to snack on here at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge, Effie's Oatcakes have become a fast favorite of mine. These delicate oatcakes are part cookie and part savory cracker. They are made using a carefully guarded family recipe with origins in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
The package suggests eating them as a quick snack with a cup of tea (very good!) but also as a cracker to pair with cheese (surprisingly excellent!). When paired with a blue cheese, such as a Fourme d'Ambert or even a crumbly Stilton, the delicately balanced sweet-saltiness of the oatcakes makes an excellent change from a more traditional cracker or a slice of bread.

What does sync mean
- Asked by Susan T from Far Rockaway
- Feb 1, 2012
Best Answer:
It means that the contents of synced devices becomes the same. For example, if you had a few songs o It means that the contents of synced devices becomes the same. For example, if you had a few songs on your computer, and a few on your phone, and the ones on your phone were not on the computer, and the ones on your computer were not on the phone, then after a "sync" operation, the contents of your computer AND the phone is the combination of contents of both devices.
To be clear, after a sync operation, regardless of the content disparity between two devices, the content of both devices will be identical, such that the content on device 1 now exists on device 2 alongside device 2's original content, and the content of device 2 now exists on device 1 alongside device 1's original content.

This is the EXTRA LARGE Vernet tip, perfect for the magician with a larger thumb. This tip is bigger around, to fit a wider thumb, and just a bit longer than the regular Vernet thumbtip. It is a generous 3 3/4" circumference around the base, and just over 2" long.
This is the one "must have" gimmick for every magician! Probably the most popular and most used device in magic, this utility device makes it possible to vanish silks, cigarettes, salt- even water- in your bare hand. You can use it to produce items as well! Keep one of these in every pocket- you'll use it often!
Thumbtip comes with basic operating instructions only. To get the most out of this amazing gimmick, we strongly recommend that you also purchase a DVD or book which actually demonstrates and teaches the correct way to use the Thumb Tip as well as some amazing routines using this clever gimmick (see recommendations below).

The Three Projections of Futamura are a sequence of applications of a programming technique called 'partial evaluation' or 'specialisation', each one more mind-bending than the previous one. But it shouldn't be programmers who have all the fun. So I'm going to try to explain the three projections in a way that non-programmers can maybe understand too. But whether you're a programmer or not, this kind of self-referential reasoning can hurt your brain. At least it hurts mine. But it's a good pain, right?So rather than talk about computer programs, I'll talk about machines of the mechanical variety. A bit like computer programs, these machines will have some kind of slot for inputting stuff, and some kind of slot where output will come out. But unlike computer programs, I'll be able to draw pictures of them to show what I'm talking about. I'll also assume these machines have access to an infinite supply of raw materials for manufacturing purposes and I'll also assume that these machines can replicate stuff - because in a computer we can freely make copies of data, until we run out of memory at least.
Minting coins
A really simple example of a machine is one that has a slot for inputting blanks, and outputs newly minted coins:That's a dedicated $1 manufacturing machine. We could imagine that internally it stamps the appropriate design onto the blank and spits out the result.
It'd be more interesting if we could make a machine with another input slot that allowed us to input the description of the coin. By providing different inputs we could mint a variety of different coins with one machine. I'm going to adopt the convention that when we want to input a description we input a picture of the result we want. I'll draw pictures as rectangles with the subject inside them. Here's a general purpose machine manufacturing pound coins:
The same machine could make dollars, zlotys or yen. You could imagine this machine works by taking the description and then milling the coin CNC style. We call such a machine an interpreter. It interprets the instructions and produces its result.
The interpreter has a great advantage over the dedicated dollar mint. You make make any kind of coin. But it's going to run a lot slower. The dedicated minter can just stamp a coin in one go. The interpreter can't do this because every input might be different. It has to custom mill each coin individually. Is there a way to get the benefits of both types of machine? We could do this: take the coin description and instead of milling the coin directly we mill negative reliefs for both sides of the coin. We then build a new dedicated minting machine that uses these negatives to stamp out the coin. In other words we could make a machine that takes as input a coin description and outputs a dedicated machine to make that type of coin. This kind of machine making machine is called a compiler. It takes a set of instructions, but instead of executing them one by one, it makes a dedicated machine to perform them. Here's one in action:
So here are the two important concepts so far:
Interpreters: these take descriptions or instructions and use them to make the thing described.
Compilers: these take descriptions or instructions and use them to make a machine dedicated to making the thing described. The process of making such a machine from a set of instructions is known as compiling.
The Projections of Doctor Futamura help make clear the relationship between these kinds of things.
We need one more important concept: the specialiser. Suppose we have a machine that has two inputs slots, A and B. But now suppose that when we use the machine we find that we vary the kind of thing we put into slot B, but always end up putting the same thing into slot A. If we know that slot A will always get the same input then we could streamline the machine using our knowledge of the properties of A. This is similar to the minting situation - if we know we're always going to make $1 coins then we can dedicate our machine to that purpose. In fact, if we know that we're always going to input the same thing into slot A we don't even need slot A any more. We could just stick an A inside the machine and whenever the user inputs something to slot B, the machine would then replicate the A and then use it just as if it had been input.In summary, given a machine with two slots A and B, and given some input suitable for slot A, we could redesign it as a machine with just a B slot that automatically, internally self-feeds the chosen item to A. But we can often do better than this. We don't need to self-feed stuff to slot A. We might be able to redesign the way the machine works based on the assumption that we always get the same stuff going into slot A. For example, in the minting example a dedicate $1 minter was more specialised than just a general purpose minter that interpreted the instructions for making a $1 coin. This process of customising a machine for a particular input to slot A is called specialisation or partial evaluation.
Now imagine we have a machine for automatically specialising designs for machines. It might have two slots: one for inputting a description for a two slot machine with slots A and B, and one for inputting stuff suitable for slot A. It would then print out a description for a customised machine with just a slot B. We could call it a specialisation machine. Here is one at work:
It's converting a description of a two input machine into a description of a one input machine.
The First Projection
The process of specialisation is similar to what I was talking about with dedicated minting machines. Rather than just have a similarity we can completely formalise this. Note that the interpreter above takes two inputs. So the design for an interpreter could be fed into the first input of a specialiser. Now we feed a description the coin we want into slot B. The specialiser whirrs away and eventually outputs a description of a machine that is an interpreter that is dedicated to making that one particular coin. The result will describe a machine with only one input suitable for blanks. In other words, we can use a specialiser as a compiler. This is the first of Doctor Futamura's Projections. Here's a picture of the process at work:What this shows is that you don't need to make compilers. You can make specialisers instead. This is actually a very practical thing to do in the computing world. For example there are commercial products (I'm not connected with that product in any way) that can specialise code to run on a specific architecture like CUDA. It's entirely practical to convert an interpreter to a compiler with such a tool. By writing a specialiser, the purveyors of such tools allow third parties to develop their own compilers and so this is more useful than just writing a dedicated compiler.
The Second Projection
Time to kick it up a notch. The first input to the specialiser is a description of a two input machine. But the specialiser is itself a two input machine. Are you thinking what I'm thinking yet? We could stuff a description of a specialiser into the specialiser's own first input! In the first projection we provided an interpreter as input to the specialiser. If we know we're always going to want to use the same interpreter then we could streamline the specialiser to work specifically with this input. So we can specialise the specialiser to work with our interpreter like this:
But what is that machine whose description it has output? An interpreter takes as input a description of how to operate on some stuff, like turning blanks into coins. In effect, the output machine has the interpreter built into it. So it takes descriptions and outputs a machine for performing those instructions. In other words it's a compiler. If the specialiser is any good then the compiler will be good too. It won't just hide an interpreter in a box and feed it your description, it will make dedicated parts to ensure your compiler produces a fast dedicated machine. And that is Doctor Futamura's Second Projection.
The Third Projection
But we can go further. The specialiser can accept a description of a specialiser as its first input. That means we can specialise it specifically for this input. And to do that, we use a specialiser. In other words we can feed a descrption of a specialiser into both inputs of the specialiser! Here we go:But what is the X machine that it outputs? In the second projection we pass in an interpreter as the second argument and get back a compiler. So the third projection gives us a dedicated machine for this task. The X machine accepts the description of an interpreter as input and outputs the description of a compiler. So the X machine is a dedicated interpreter-to-compiler converter. And that is the Third Projection of Doctor Futamura.
If we have a specialiser we never need to make a compiler again. We need only design interpreters that we can automatically convert to compilers. In general it's easier to write interpreters than compilers and so in principle this makes life easier for programmers. It also allows us to compartmentalise the building of compilers. We can separate the interpreter bit from the bit that fashions specific parts for a task. The specialiser does the latter so our would-be compiler writer can concentrate on the former. But who would have guessed that passing a specialiser to itself twice would give us something so useful?
So here are the projections:- Compiling specific programs to dedicated machines.
- Making a dedicated machine for compilation from an interpreter.
- Making a machine dedicated to the task of converting interpreters into compilers.
