Carpe Dime
this wiki
Carpe 'Dime' is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars given to Huang Lee by Wu 'Kenny' Lee .
Before you can do this mission, you'll need to pay for the property in East Island City in Dukes that Uncle Kenny is looking at and close the deal. To do that you'll need at least $5000, and the best way to earn enough is drug dealing. Once you have enough, get over there and pay off the deal.
When it begins, Uncle Kenny thinks he knows who stole Yu Jian. He suspects that some rich fool who is with the Spanish Lords is the robber who left Huang Lee for dead. He tells Huang to jack one of his vans and bring it back to his place.
First of all, you'll need to locate the van. It's in the Meadow Hills area, but once you find it you'll need to force it to stop, by either ramming it or shooting at the van, then take it. Quickly drive it back to the flat in East Island City and via the touch screen, cut the panel to search for the sword. Result: No Sword but a book showing recent deals for the Spanish Lords.
Reward: Shortly after the completion of this mission, Uncle Kenny will email you saying that the rich fool you just hijacked used to own a place in Lancaster in Algonquin. He found the keys to it in the van, and gives it to you.
Following this mission, you can now hijack gang vans and take them to secluded safehouses to search the panels for hidden free drugs. Watch out as the more gang vans you steal, the bigger the hate you receive from the gang. Also, sometimes the panels will have drugs in them, but others will not. All of the vans that are free for stealing are marked randomly with red arrows, but the vans will speed away if attacked members of the gang will shoot whenever they see you in it (before raiding).
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Intercept the dealer's van
- Take the van back to Kenny's warehouse, and watch your back for anyone trying to stop you
- Park the van inside the warehouse
- Cut away the panel to see if the sword, Yu Jian, has been hidden in the van
- The mission's name is a play on the Latin phrase "Carpe Diem", which means "Seize the Day".
Mission Replay description
"Thought a rich buyer was trying to get Yu Jian out of the city, but he was clean.
Still ... discovered that ripping off vans can be a lucrative side job."

An opposition legislator has called upon the government to conduct a thorough investigation into the killings of people with albinism and beef up a search for the masterminds of the atrocities.
Salum Barwany (Lindi Urban-CUF) made the call mid this week in Parliament when contributing to the budget speech of the Prime Minister's Office.
According to him, it was imperative to get to the root of the problem by searching for the real masterminds of the killings believed to be perpetrated by influential businesspeople and politicians.
He said that, taking into account the huge prices of albino organs offered by those who purchased them, it seemed there were affluent people who were behind the illegal business.
"It was reported that the value of some albino organs fetched as higher as 400m/- and some individuals purchased them. This shows that the market for such organs is readily available," added Barwany, who also is an albino.
Meanwhile, the MP told the House that there were unconfirmed reports that some people with albinism had been disappearing mysteriously. He made a passionate appeal on the government to issue a statement regarding the reports.
Barwany used the same platform to call on the government to end what he described as a long standing mistreatment of southern regions, including Lindi region where he himself came from.
He said Lindi residents had lagged in development because the government had not allocated them enough resources compared to other regions in the country.
Barwany reminded that before independence in 1961, the region ran a prosperous airport, seaport, 20 sisal estates, and railway as well as reliable power supply, but things started falling apart after independence.
Barwany said there were a lot of issues that needed a national dialogue due to the government failure to resolve them, including ongoing power crisis and the killings of albinos.
Eugene Mwapiposa (Ukonga-CCM) blamed the government for sitting on Tanesco debts, a factor he claimed had paralysed operations of the state-run power utility. According to him, Tanesco owed ministries a total of 86bn/-.
Speaking on traffic jams in Dar es Salaam Mwaiposa said it was high time the government turned its attention to the railway sector for its development.
Meanwhile, Dr Mary Mwanjelwa (Special Seats-CCM) said the National Identification Project would not be beneficial if the government would not implement the Zip Code Project, which was intended to establish a defined physical addresses system.


text: Q&A: Sony's game design chief talks PlayStation Vita Gaming 22 February 12 by Chris Kohler Sony Shuhei Yoshida is confident in the PlayStation Vita, even in the face of stiffer-than-ever competition in the handheld games space.Vita's high-powered tech and console-quality software make it a great value for £229, the head of Sony's worldwide game development studios said in an interview with Wired at the 2012 DICE Summit earlier this month. Nintendo launched its competing 3DS platform at the same price point last year, but quickly slashed it to £130 after disappointing sales. The Vita is available now in the UK. Yoshida also dished out status updates on a few missing-in-action Sony products, like the oft-delayed PlayStation 3 game The Last Guardian, the PlayStation Suite framework for indie game development and downloadable PlayStation 1 games on Vita.Wired: Why isn't there going to be a UMD transfer program for North America, like there is in Japan? Shuhei Yoshida: I'm sorry we are not doing it in the States, but there are two factors that contributed to the decision as I understand it. I'm not in a position to make that kind of business decision. The system has been introduced in Japan, where there is a much larger demand for PSP games. When you look at the release schedule of new titles there are still lots of PSP games being released in Japan and being announced for release. Lots of people who are interested in trying Vita are also interested in playing PSP games that they might purchase before Vita comes out, and will not necessarily choose the digital version.So there is a lot more demand… to introduce a program like that. The other point is that when you look at PSP titles sold digitally in the States or Europe, games are sold for a really reasonable price. You can buy Final Fantasy Tactics for $10 (£6-7). That's a great price. There are many, many games that are sold at an affordable price. Because people in Japan are not getting the digital copy for free, because it costs us money to develop and maintain the system so we are asking people to pay somewhere between $5 and $10 (£3 and £7) to receive the digital copy in addition to what they have on the UMD.When you compare that to the price of games [in the US], PSP games in Japan are sold at a much higher price, so people see the value in spending the $5 to $10 to get the digital copy. But when the games are already sold at a lower price in the US we see less value in introducing that kind of system. The combination of the new titles available, or the lack of, and the price difference, the company decided to do that.You're right that PSP caught on in Japan more so than in the U.S. What's different about Vita that's going to cause it to succeed here? There are a few key factors that contributed to that. When PSP came out five or six years ago, it was a great piece of tech: big screen, beautiful 3D graphics, it was almost as good as a PS2. At that time it was very exciting to be able to play those games on the go. But the platform didn't provide much more than that in terms of features. So we game developers created games and the software business for a few years was great on PSP.But after that we tried to come up with some new concepts and new ways to use PSP, and really struggled to come up with some new experience that you cannot get on the home console. During that period, the new home consoles came out, PS3, 360, with much better graphics, in HD. So it's not hard to imagine people's interest kind of, you know, defused. The lack of a dual analog system for PSP made the gameplay experience control much more compromised, to play the kind of games that people in the States or Europe cherish. Their action-adventure or FPS. That's one big thing.The other thing was piracy. Piracy was really, really killing the software business. We know our games were played by millions of people in the world but not necessarily being paid for. Our business partners know, and they're disappointed in the number of sales of games on PSP and it's very natural for them to make the business decision to divert resources to other business opportunities. At that time, the PS3, 360 and Wii next-generation consoles were coming and these games were bigger and require more resources than PS2 era.We made a mistake as well -- right after the PSP launch we were preparing for the PS3 launch, and that took a lot more resources. So we shifted development resource away from PSP to and that contributed to the lack of business return coming from piracy for third parties really helped reduce the number of new games. But compared to that in Japan, there are other factors which helped the portable game. Ironically, in the development in Japan, developers in Japan struggled to jump on the current-gen home consoles, the high-end graphics, shaders, multi-core architecture. The enormous resources that are required to create titles for those home consoles of today.So many developers and publishers in Japan decided to shift focus to portables. It's one generation older in some cases two genrations older from a core tech standpoint. It's a very comfortable zone for them to create games. You've seen many great home console franchises shift focus so the latest new sequel started to come out on portables first. The popularity of co-op play, Wi-Fi, ad-hoc like Monster Hunter-style games, caught on. That all contributed to the huge popularity of portable games in Japan. It's a positive cycle, right? The publisher thinks, 'Great, we can make these games and we can sell them and we can make money.' So that's where the consumers are still. You mentioned piracy. What do you think: Do you have Vita locked down and protected from piracy? There will always be the effort by those hackers. They are so smart, they're sharp. But when you compare what happened with PSP to PS3, there are some hacking activities on PS3 but we've been doing much better. Our teams in Japan learned a lot and are applying that knowledge to fortifying PS Vita. So hopefully we will have much stronger protection on PS Vita.

Sleepwalk with me is about a comedian who has REM disorder disease. Matt is a comedian who is currently working as a bartender and Abby is his girlfriend. They go to his sister's engagement party and his parents and friends are putting pressure on him to get married. His sister had been seeing her guy for only two and half hears while Matt has been with Abby for eight years His girlfriend is great, can sing, people love her. I think one of the telling lines is when Matt tells his sister everyone thinks Abby is amazing; mom and dad think she is amazing, our friends think she is amazing. I think everyone thinks the best thing about my life is my girlfriend. Matt is not ready for marriage and the pressure causes him to sleepwalk. At his parent's house during a sleep walking episode he thinks the hamper is a jackal and he is kicking it. Matt gets an agent and she sends him on some comedy gigs. They are scattered about the east coast and involve a lot of driving and time away from home. He becomes exhausted and the sleep walking episodes get worse. His comedy, however, gets better. At one comedy club a veteran comedian talks with him off stage and Matt makes a joke about marriage. The veteran says that's funny you should use it in your show. Matt's comedy gets funnier as he jokes with the audience about marriage, making fun of it. One night Abby comes home at 4 am very drunk and starts to pack a suitcase, Matt wants her to stay and agrees to get married in the summer. As we watch Abby plan for the wedding and Matt touring and doing his comedy act we see his sleepwalking progress until finally he thinks a missile is coming at him (signifying the upcoming wedding) and he jumps out of a second story window. This is a deadpan humor type of story; the most humorous parts are his sleepwalking dreams. It's a real type of story, real issues, real struggles, real relationship problems, with comedy sprinkled in especially in the sleepwalking dreams.

Maybe you've heard of Andy Carvin, maybe you've not. I'm going to tell you about him. Actually, I'm going to tell you what I think about him and the "job" he does, which is absolutely antithetical to what I think should happen, which is that he should be confined to the proverbial dustbin of history and promptly forgotten.
But I have some pretty words, some strong words, that I'm just dying to see in the stark black of computer print on white, so you'll have to bear with me. Or just pass this little diatribe on by.
But whatever you do, don't try to say I'm just jealous of the name Andy Carvin has had made for himself. I'm not the least bit jealous of him. Arwa Damon, maybe. Or Harry Fear even. But Andy Carvin? Hardly.
Why do I have so much vitriol for a man I've never met? It's easy really. It's because he's a pretender, a fake. He's Walter Mitty with a boring job at National Public Radio that has nothing to do with journalism. But he retreated to a life on Twitter and became a fake superhero.
He even wrote a book, Distant Witness, and that's as good a reason as any for my dislike. The title, not the writing of the book. He called it that because he believes he witnessed the Arab spring from his desk in Washington. He didn't, any more than I did from my desk in Atlanta.
What he did was stay up till all hours retweeting all the tweets he could find out of the various Arab spring protests, adding his own indignation and outrage at what he "witnessed." Of course, not all that much of what he retweeted was true, but Carvin thinks it best to throw it out there and let the "crowd" settle it.
Doesn't work that way. Whenever somebody starts retweeting everything, then the real journalists have to work that much harder to find out what's real and what's not. As some of my relatives would say, "If you throw enough shit at the barn door, some of it's gonna stick." But most of it's gonna leave a big pile of shit on the ground, and either way, somebody's gonna have to clean the whole mess up.
That somebody will never be Andy Carvin, because that would get in the way of his being a hero to the poor downtrodden activists fighting for freedom in Arab countries and elsewhere. Honestly, I cannot understand why NPR, normally a bastion of decent journalism, allows it.
It's why so many people have such a hard time trusting what's found on the Interwebs. How could you blame em? If somebody who's supposed to be the be-all-and-end-all of the Arab spring is tossing everything out there — even if he's adding a cute little "is this true?" on the end — it's just gonna confuse the matter. Especially when he adds his own unsupported speculation. Then he's no better than any other "citizen journalist" out there with a viewpoint.
Ah, but what do I know. I haven't even been a journalist for a quarter century (next year I will reach that milestone). And my current job is to separate the wheat from the chaff that pretenders like Andy Carvin throw out there. My colleagues and I painstakingly go through all those tweets, all those videos, all those Facebook posts to figure out what's real and what isn't, what is the truth and what might be even a well-intentioned lie.
Carvin finally got to go to Egypt, to Cairo. He went down to Tahrir, but when the tear gas came out, he retreated to the safety of his hotel room to check his Twitter stream, where, he said, he understood what was going on much better.
I've never been to Cairo, to Benghazi, to Aleppo, to Gaza. I'm pretty sure, though, if I ever were, I wouldn't be there to meet my Twitter friends. I'd be there to report, because that's what I do. And if that meant walking into a cloud of tear gas, then give me a wet rag and get out of my way.
Looking at videos from Syria is painful, but it's necessary. It's our job to verify them, to know that they were shot where the uploader says they were shot and that they show what the uploader says they show. That means seeing bodies, destroyed homes, lost children, everything, in detail, gory detail. We don't watch them once and pass them on. We watch them trying to glean everything we can out of them so that we can say with authority if it's real. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it is hard on every level imaginable.
I'm not a witness to the horrors in Syria, though. I'm a curator, a documentarian. A fact-checker. I'm not superhero, or even a not-so-superhero. I'm just doing a journalist doing a job with a slew of pretty nifty technological tools that help me do that job with more confidence than before. I don't have to be there, but there's a lot I miss by being here.
But it's a good job and I'm proud of it, proud of my colleagues, one of whom once used Google maps to plot where in a particular Syrian city a video of an explosion might have been shot based on the speed of sound and line of site. It was a thing to behold. That's verification.
It's easy to fake things on the internet. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube — they can all be gamed. It takes hard, precise work to make sense of it all, to get at the real story. Any less is a disservice to readers, viewers, other journalists and especially the story.

Eh, it doesn't horn into my map printing niche - I don't need a Kickstarter to print maps, as I can afford to produce maps one at a time, paid for individually. Besides I see the word "Modern" on this map kickstarter, and really that market barely exists. You can get away with normal blueprints of current buildings that exist in architectural firms, etc. - no sense in creating custom modern maps, as there is no single modern map that can be applicable to all uses.
Being a digital printer I don't even see the need for a Kickstarter for maps, ever. Unless one wanted to create a single or group of maps for very specific places, with the goal of producing a mass quantity for resale - like a Nuke plant, or an underground bunker laboratory (for zombie apocalypse settings.) Even then, if I had a map design for such a thing, I'd have them available on a one map/one order setup - again, no need for a Kickstarter.

El Mughar, supported a charge by 6th Mounted Brigade. A Squadron led 22nd Mounted Brigade, having captured their objective they pressed on to Akir and established a position on the far side of the village square, however they had to withdraw as they were unsupported by the rest of the Brigade. Sadly it transpired that the village was the location of a Turkish Corps Headquarters, and had the success of the attack been exploited then a major dislocation of the enemy lines could have resulted.

When I get to magic figure, we can message, this restriction seems a bit limiting and probably encourages people to write complete drivel messages just to get up to the quota. The letters and notes are at another house so can't quote much at the moment.

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Red is a bright, clean red pigment with average drying time. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Red has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Quinacridone Red has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.

Woman injured in five-vehicle crash in Elkhart
One woman was taken to the hospital after a five-vehicle accident on East Jackson Boulevard on Thursday afternoon, April 18.
ELKHART — One woman was taken to the hospital Thursday, April 18, after a five-vehicle accident on East Jackson Boulevard.
One driver said he and the others involved in the accident were headed west and stopped at the stoplight at East Jackson and Goshen Avenue just before 5:30 p.m. when one car hit another from behind, pushing the vehicles in front of it into each other.
A white sedan with heavy front-end damage appeared to have struck a dark gray minivan, starting the domino-effect accident.
The woman driving the third car in the line was taken to the hospital with complaints of chest pain.
The other drivers were uninjured.
Emergency crews closed all lanes of East Jackson between Kenwood and Kenyon avenues to investigate the accident.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama did some cherry-picking Tuesday night in defense of his record on jobs and laid out a conditional path to citizenship for illegal immigrants that may be less onerous than he made it sound.
A look at some of the claims in his State of the Union speech, a glance at the Republican counterargument and how they fit with the facts:
Obama:"After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."
The facts: That's in the ballpark, as far as it goes. But Obama starts his count not when he took office, but from the point in his first term when job losses were the highest. In doing so, he ignores the 5 million or so jobs that were lost on his watch, up to that point.
Private sector jobs have grown by 6.1 million since February 2010. But since he became president, the gain is a more modest 1.9 million.
And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is close to a wash. And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is a gain of 1.2 million.
Obama: "We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas."
The facts: Not so fast.
That's expected to happen in 12 more years.
Under a deal the Obama administration reached with automakers in 2011, vehicles will have a corporate average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, twice the 27 miles per gallon, on average, that cars and trucks get today. Automobile manufacturers won't start making changes to achieve the new fuel economy standards until model year 2017.
Obama: "Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earned citizenship — a path that includes passing a background check, paying taxes and a meaningful penalty, learning English and going to the back of the line behind the folks trying to come here legally."
The facts: The seemingly stern admonition that illegal immigrants must go to the back of the line, often heard from the president, doesn't appear to have much practical effect except in the most obvious sense. Everyone who joins a line, whether for a movie, a coffee or citizenship, starts at the back of that particular line. It's not clear he is saying anything more than that illegal immigrants won't get to cut in line for citizenship once they've obtained provisional legal status.
Obama: "I urge this Congress to pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago. But if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will."
The facts: Obama failed to get a global warming bill through Congress when both Houses were controlled by Democrats in 2010. With Republicans in control of the House, the chances of a bill to limit the gases blamed for global warming and to create a market for businesses to trade pollution credits are close to zero. The Obama administration has already acted to control greenhouse gases through existing law. And while there are still other ways to address climate change without Congress, it's questionable regulation alone can achieve the reductions needed to start curbing global warming.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, in the Republican response: "The real cause of our debt is that our government has been spending $1 trillion dollar more than it takes in every year. That's why we need a balanced-budget amendment."
The facts: That statement may reflect the math behind recent debt, but it doesn't get directly to the cause — the worst recession since the Depression and its aftereffects. The deficit is not only caused by spending, but by reduced tax revenues. And during the recession, revenues from both individual and corporate taxes fell markedly.
The steep increases in debt and the measures that should be taken to ease the burden are central to the debate in Washington. But there is no serious move afoot to amend the Constitution to prohibit deficit spending.
The ability to take on debt has been used by governments worldwide and through U.S. history to shelter people from the ravages of a down economy, wage war and achieve many other ends. An effort to amend the Constitution for any purpose faces daunting odds; this would be no exception.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Orb splashed through the slop to win the Kentucky Derby, giving Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey his first victory in the 3-year-old classic.
When the field turned for home on the cool, overcast Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs, Normandy Invasion grabbed the lead while Orb was gearing up. But in the deep stretch, Orb prevailed, carrying Joel Rosario to his first Derby win.
Long shot Golden Soul was second with Revolutionary third.
Normandy Invasion faded to fourth.
Orb, the 5-1 favorite, ran the 1 1/4 miles in 2:02.89.

Does Google Earth do that kind of stuff?
I found these instruction on internet about which projections are needed to build a 3d earth globe:
"Create a series of 12 Transverse Mercator projections that are 32 degrees in longitude and 91 degrees in latitude to form a "flower petal" projection for making globes. If the northern hemisphere is being created, the latitude range is -1 to +90. If the southern hemisphere is being created, the latitude range is -90 to 1. The petals are formed by changing the center longitude and map rotation in steps of 30 degrees for each Transverse Mercator projection. Each section is put into the mosaic. The final center of the projection is a Lambert Azimuthal Equal-area centered on the pole and covers from -90 to -75 or 75 to 90 degrees latitude and 360 degrees in longitude. This is the last cube that is placed in the mosaic"
But I can't find suitable (free) programs to obtain needed projections!
Any help?
I need a Java or Windows program which any raster image input and produces raster output.

Nope google earth doesn't do anything like that.
Your easiest choice is to use a flattened dodecahedron (20-sided die) map, sort of like the maps traveller used, and then glue the sides together appropriately.
Either that, or just paint your map on a spherical object to begin with.
But I want to be able to choose MY map and MY size.

You can do a globe with many different kinds of projections. The idea is to get small enough pieces to cover the globe without too much distortion when you paste them down. For example, sinusoidal gores (optionally with azimuthal equidistant endcaps) work well.
I have used Fractal Terrains ( http://www.profantasy.com/products/ft.asp and Wilbur ( http://www.ridgenet.net/~jslayton/software.html ) to generate images for such projects in the past, but there are more modern programs out there such as G.Projector ( http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/gprojector/ ) or FlexProjector ( http://www.flexprojector.com/ ) that might be better suited for the task. G.Projector wants input in the equirectagular projection but that's doable (I have successfully used my elderly ReprojectImage program at http://www.ridgenet.net/~jslayton/ReprojectImage.zip for this task). I haven't done much more than just barely play with FlexProjector so I can't say how useful it would be in this context.
There were a few discussions here about making globes here a while back ( http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=2109 is one) so there is probably additional information drifting around.
Attached is an example of the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas map reworked for cutout and paste to a globe. It was reprojected from its original Equirectangular projection to the one shown in one step in Fractal Terrains.
I also responded in this thread:
Not sure if they are for the same thing or not. If OK, I would like to merge the threads.

Thanks, I searched the forum a bit, but didn't find that thread.There were a few discussions here about making globes here a while back ( http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=2109 is one) so there is probably additional information drifting around.
yes, it's the same subject, I posted in different forums because I didn't know which one was the more suitable (i.e. which section usually is read by users knowing solution to my problem )
ReprojectImage takes an image in some projection other than Equirectangular and produces an image in the Equirectangular projection. This step is usually the hard one. You would then take that image and run it through a piece of software such as Wilbur or Fractal Terrains (I'm most familiar with those two as I wrote them).
In Wilbur you would reproject the Equirectangular image as follows:
1. Load the image using File>>Open with the Type set to Color Image Texture.
2. Set the map boundaries using Surface>>Map Info (Top=90, Left=-180, Right=180 and bottom=-90 for a whole-world image).
3. Reproject the map using Window>>Map Projection. Pick the desired projection (Lambert Azimuthal Equal-area in this case) from the drop list and drag the image in the window around to get the desired result. For world endcaps you will want a Center of Projection with Latitude=90 for the north pole and Latitude=-90 for the south pole.
4. Click Export BMP on the Map Projection window to save a bitmap of the desired resolution.
Below are examples of this process on a basic Earth map to get polar caps.

7:30 pm–9:30 pm
Event Description
Ellen Weissbrod & Melissa Powell of 7th Street Film Syndicate present a screening of their film A Woman Like That.
Thursday, April 4, 7:30 p.m.
Callicott Auditorium
Rust Hall, Overton Park
Filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod merges her own coming of middle-age story with her pursuit of the truths behind the legends of 17th century female painter Artemisia Gentileschi's dramatic art and life. This unconventional but heartfelt hunt upends typical artist biographies and delivers instead a funny, engaging and all together different kind of documentary.
A Woman Like That is a freewheeling tribute to an artist whose own bold life and inspiring message leaps across centuries to speak to us all. The enduring power of storytelling—in paintings, in films and in our lives is revealed, as the filmmaker learns that who gets to tell the story matters, and that maybe she too, can be "a woman like that."

How do you achieve clarity on gnarly issues? As highly-wired, multi-networked, resource-rich folks we likely turn to our various webs of family and friends as well as books and blogs. Yet, we may be overlooking the most powerful teacher of all – ourselves. When my son was a preschooler, he simply would not act on a suggestion or direction from me until he had made it his own. His entire body revealed his process from "I'm not so sure" to "maybe" to "I have decided that I'll do this." It had to make sense to him and, in essence, become his idea. As adults, I observe (in myself and others) that we're little different. Simply being advised or directed toward a certain solution or course of action doesn't mean we'll blindly give our assent. It needs to make sense to us. Often, this is a quick bit of consideration. But on those complex, many-layered issues, we need more. Many authors suggest steps we can take, and our Achieving Clarity ONEpage resource provides a brief digest of these. Yet, outside sources alone don't motivate action. Until we take the time to individually consider, mull and reflect – listening to the guide within – we will not commit to serious action. When we want to achieve "buy in" with an individual or group, the critical step is not telling, it's listening. How do you best listen to your inner guide? Best, Thom

A North Carolina judge says Republican-backed legislation aimed at cutting off the revenue stream of a Democrat-friendly teachers association violates the constitution and can't be enforced.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Gessner issued his order last month in favor of the North Carolina Association of Educators, which announced the decision Thursday. Gessner ruled the state's largest teacher lobbying group was the victim of "retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."
Republican state House Speaker Thom Tillis said in 2011 the law cutting off NCAE from collecting membership dues from paychecks was in response to the group's political activity. The association is a force in state politics and was close to departing Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue.
Spokesmen for Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger of Rockingham County did not return messages seeking comment.

The MDS building has energy-efficient air conditioning units, low-water toilets, a solar water heater and xeriscaping. They were one of the first businesses to adopt GreenChoice® back in 2004, a 100% renewable energy program from Austin Energy, a local electrical company. MDS offsets their carbon footprint for all air travel and each employee's commute to and from work and participates in a local recycling program. In addition to traditional printing services, MDS offers a Green Printing program that uses special papers, inks and printing techniques that are better for the environment without reducing the quality of the printed piece.
"MDS Advertising strives to educate and inspire others to go green. We are committed to raising our own awareness to support our planet and those that call it 'home'," said Victoria Marasco, Executive Managing Director and Principal of MDS Advertising. "Our desire is to make every effort to sustain a healthy environment and believe that every person's efforts matter, regardless of how small the action."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit carbon offset organization that is working with nearly 1,000 businesses from all over the nation.
"We are proud of our partnership with MDS Advertising because of their commitment to minimizing their carbon impact, "said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org, "MDS has taken many commendable steps and is proof that environmental stewardship is part of a smart business plan."

Princess Robot Bubblegum
Revision as of 14:14, June 24, 2013 by Cloudkit01 (Talk | contribs)

this wiki
Princess Robot Bubblegum (プリンセス ロボット バブルガム) is a fictional anime series featured in the GTA IV Era.
Princess Robot Bubblegum is a general parody of shōjo (young female) anime; however, it incongruously mixes this with tropes of shōnen (young male), seinen (mature male), and hentai (pornographic) anime. Aside from general stereotypes of anime, specific references include:
- La Blue Girl: PRB bears some strong resemblances to the hentai La Blue Girl's female protagonist Mido Miko who also sports long hair and a large bow. PRB's hair color and the color of her bow, however, are inversions of Mido's hair color and bow: Mido has purple hair and a pink bow while PRB has pink hair with a purple bow. Like Mido, PRB was also raised as a ninja. PRB also finds herself under the threat of tentacle rape, a hentai style pioneered by La Blue Girl.
- Sailor Moon: PRB herself bears a heavy resemblance to Sailor Moon, including her sexual image (Sailor Moon wears a skimpy schoolgirl's outfit, among other controversies) and also share similar superpowered transformation scenes. Other heroines in the series, like PRB, sport unnatural hair colors such as pink (Sailor Chibimoon), blue (Sailor Mercury) and green (Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto).
- Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS: As Sailor Moon is a magical girl anime, PRB's transformation sequence is reminiscent of the magical girl genre of anime. Particularly, though, her robotic power suit appears to refer to mecha anime. This combination magical girl and mecha anime styles was notably used by the third season of the anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, StrikerS.
- Final Fantasy: The video game merchandise is an obvious parody of the Final Fantasy games. Also, Sword Boy's androgynous appearance, large sword, and moody demeanor parodies Final Fantasy VII protagonist Cloud Strife.
- Naruto: Like PRB, the eponymous protagonist is an orphan who trains to be a ninja.
- Dragon Ball: Master Hentai is somewhat based on Dragon Ball's Master Roshi, a wise but perverted old martial arts master (which is a rather common type of character in anime, other examples including Jiraiya from Naruto and Happosai from Ranma ½). In another scene, an elderly woman is mugged by a superpowered blonde male bearing extreme resemblance to one of Dragon Ball's Saiyan characters, such as Son Goku or Vegeta, whose hair turns blonde when they enter their "Super" mode.
- Pokémon: Saki is partially inspired by Pikachu, who was, at least in the beginning of the series, a "cute, but utterly useless sidekick", heavily exploited for merchandising. PRB's "naturally pink hair" could be a reference to Jessie, an antagonist sporting outrageously large pink hair. Her sidekick, James, is an almost inappropriately effeminate (though bumbling instead of brooding) male, much like Sword Boy.
- Super Sentai/Power Rangers: A group of rainbow-colored warriors are seen battling a giant monster/robot at the start of the show.
- Transformers: An American tourist encounters a used panties machine which transforms into a killer robot, probally a reference to the Transformers character Dispensor.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, PRB is only mentioned in a radio advertisement, however in The Ballad of Gay Tony, the program itself appears on television, specifically on CNT. Within the game universe, it courts controversy, with Weazel News in GTA IV reporting on a protest by Asian Americans against the airing of the anime. Also, in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there are many advertisements of PRB throughout Liberty, mostly in Dukes and Bohan.
- Princess Robot Bubblegum: The eponymous protagonist. She fights the forces of evil and darkness with a robotic power suit which shoots missiles from its chest. She also owns a cell phone which transforms into a vibrator. Her catchphrase is "Too horny to fight crime".
- Master Hentai: PRB's sensei. He trains PRB after her ninja parents leave her on his doorstep. He tells PRB that she must train in skimpy clothing for merchandising purposes. It is revealed that Master Hentai is a pedophile (after "an innocent swimming lesson" which resulted in his arrest and the addition of a blue dot being added over his house on an online predator database), his forehead is shaped like a buttocks and the end of his cane is shaped like the foreskin of a penis. His name refers to the aforementioned pornographic anime.
- Saki: PRB's alcoholic and drug abusing floating animal sidekick. He is seen drinking a malt beverage, then promptly vomiting in Master Hentai's dojo, peeing in the graveyard scene, and overdosing on heroin during the final fight sequence. His name refers the Japanese alcoholic rice beverage of the same name.
- Sword Boy: An effeminate blind teenage samurai whom PRB encounters during her quest. As a child, his parents were burned to death in a freak onion volcano accident which left him blind. Sword Boy is seeking the Shogun of Teppanyaki for revenge.
- The title character's voice in GTA IV's PRB commercial is a mock-Asian caricature; in The Ballad of Gay Tony, she has the American accent more typical of dubbed characters in english-dubbed anime.
- Characters in PRB often break the fourth wall, mentioning the show's writers, translators, future episodes, and merchandising.
- In a scene of Master Hentai's dojo, a banner can be seen hanging on a wall, which is written in Japanese, saying "忍者は毎日オナニー", which translates to "ninjas masturbate every day".
- Master Hentai comically refers to the 2Pac and B.I.G. feud, when talking about the forces of Evil (personified as an Akuma spirit) and Darkness (personified as a Godzilla-esque monster), "One is east coast and the other is west coast! And if you listen to the way that they sound, it's completely different..."
- During PRB's "Final awkward tranformation montage", the background music is the theme song from the TBS music video show "Night Tracks" that ran from 1983 until 1992.
- The name of the anime might be based from Bubblegum Crisis which is also set in the future.
- Her name came from Adventure Time, which is also the same name of the character, but is also known as PB for "Princess Bubblegum". It's unknown what Rockstar got that name from, since Adventure Time started airing in 2010, 2 years after the release of GTA IV.
- In the start of the commercial, the narrator mentions Nymphomaniac Mutant Plants sleeping with scarely matured women in school uniforms. The plants could be refered to Tentacle Rape, a popular type of Hentai in which an octopus, or creature with tentacles which wraps them around a girls arms and legs, and rapes her with another tentacle, sometimes even releasing sperm trough the tentacles. There is another appearance of tentacle rape when a robot wraps PRB with somekind of wires extending form his body,and another one under her vagina, probably waiting to start raping her. The school uniforms are also used in Hentai, since the girls raped are at the age of 18, but they are present in almost any Anime, not depending if its erotic or a children cartoon.

One of our inspectors can meet with you on your property and help you identify the weeds and offer control recommendations. To request an inspection of your property, just call our office at (509) 477-5777 for the form, download the form from this website, or submit an Investigation Request from this website.
Call our office and we will send you an Investigation Request Form to fill out with the location of the weeds; return it to our office, or download the form online and mail or fax it to our office. Or you can choose to submit an Investigation Request from this website .
It is the source of funding for the Spokane County Noxious Weed Control Board, it allows us to carry out the mandates of RCW 17.10 and WAC 16-750.
No. The County Engineer's Road Department is responsible for controlling weeds that grow along the County's road right-of-ways. Contact the County Engineers at (509) 477-3600 for questions or concerns regarding weeds on the right-of-ways or on County owned property.
It will depend on what noxious weeds you have, their stage of growth and other site-specific variables. Please contact our office for more information on herbicides, or refer to the information provided on this website under Noxious Weed Control Recommendations. Remember to always follow the label directions when applying herbicides.
Because just like a leaky roof or poor foundation, noxious weeds are a detriment to the value of the property and will take time and money to get under control.
Contact the local WA Department of Agriculture at (509) 533-2690.
This depends on the animal and the type of weed. Rarely do animals prefer to eat noxious weeds. Most often on pastures infested with weeds, the animals will graze the desirable vegetation, causing an increase in the problem weeds.
Elk prefer native forbs and grasses and will starve to death on ranges infested with Spotted knapweed and Leafy spurge. Doves readily eat and distribute Leafy spurge seeds. Leafy spurge can be grazed by sheep, but is toxic to cattle and horses can eat Musk thistle blooms, while Russian knapweed is toxic to them.
Generally you will find that this form of control will not work all summer because the plants will start to bloom lower than your mower blade. Mowing is one important method in stopping seed production, but should be used along with other control measures to stop the spread of noxious weeds. For example, mowing is not entirely effective on Spotted knapweed or Leafy spurge, but a diligent 3 year mowing program on Canada thistle may achieve around 90% control if mowed at the early bud stage of growth (several times during the growing season) followed by a fall application of herbicides. This will increase the control efforts and help to cause the thistle to collapse.
This is an open invitation for noxious weeds to come into an area. If land is not managed correctly, then the most aggressive, non-native plants that are established nearby may take over an area, choking out native grasses and forbs. The knapweed infestation in Montana is contributing to the death of over 200 elk per year and several cattle ranches have been abandoned due to the overwhelming invasion of Leafy spurge and knapweed.
It is important to keep in mind that biological control is a slow process and will not eradicate noxious weeds. However, they do have their place in an integrated pest management plan. When used in conjunction with mechanical, cultural and/or chemical control methods, bio's can improve the overall control efforts. The use of bio's alone does not comply with the Spokane County Noxious Weed Control Board's Policy or the WA State Noxious Weed Law.
Most herbicides are considered low or moderately toxic. All chemicals have a half-life in the environment. Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes to biodegrade one half of the original amount. Herbicides are broken down by sunlight and microbial activity in the soil.
All chemicals are assigned Lethal Dose (LD 50) numerical values through certain testing procedures. What LD 50 means is the dose or amount of a pesticide which can kill 50% of the test animals when eaten or absorbed through the skin. LD50 is expressed in milligrams of chemical per kilogram of body weight of the test animal (mg/kg). The lower the LD50 the more acutely toxic the chemical.
