In the opening scene of this year's mid-season finale, the governor explains to his group of survivors that he has a plan to take control of a nearby prison. He has taken two prisoners, Hershel and Michonne, and plans on using them as a bargaining chip to force the other survivors out of their home. He tells his group that his plan won't require them to kill anyone, but they have to be prepared to.
The governor lies and tells his group that most of the people at the prison are murderers and thieves. He tells them that they mutilated him, burned his camp, and killed his daughter. He tells them they have to move fast before they realize two of their people are missing.
Lilly approaches the governor and tells him she heard everything. She doesn't want him killing people to make them safer, but he explains that they're not people; they're killers.
In his camper, the governor talks to Hershel and Michonne. He tells Michonne that he doesn't hold a grudge about her killing Penny. He understands that she was already dead. Hershel tries to reason with the man, saying they can all live together at the prison, but the governor knows that Rick would never go along with it. Also, the governor would never feel his new family was safe with them. Hershel asks how he can threaten to kill someone else's daughter, when the governor knows what it's like to have a child of his own. The governor simply responds, "Because they aren't mine" as he leaves the camper.
Outside, the governor tells Lilly they'll be safe by the water for now until he gets back, and Lilly wonders why they can't just find a place by the water. The governor responds that all of the truly safe places are already taken. He asks her to think about Meagan. Lilly says she is and then she asks the governor what Meghan is going to be in this new world to which the governor replies, "She's going to be alive."
The governor says his goodbyes with Meghan and then FINALLY, we're back to the original survivors in the prison after two and a quarter episodes of the governor.
Glen jokingly tells Maggie he could use a vacation while recovering from the killer flu of three episodes ago. Then he tells her their anniversary is coming up. After a bit of reminiscing, Maggie decides to get Glen some water. He tells her he can do it, but she insists. When she tells him she'll be right back, Glen smiles knowing he'll see her soon.
Next, Rick tells Daryl about how Carol killed Karen and David. Daryl isn't happy Rick decided to exile her. He tells Rick he could have handled the situation when they got back. Rick says he didn't know how Tyreese would react, to which Daryl responds, "Let's go find out."
Bob is sitting alone in a hallway when Sasha walks in. She wants to thank him for bringing back the medicine which saved her life. He doesn't want to accept her appreciation though. He still feels like he let Daryl down, and doesn't trust himself. However, after seeing how weak Sasha is, he decides to help her outside so she can see the sun.
When Rick and Daryl find Tyreese, they want to tell him about Carol, but he cuts them off. He has something he has to show them. After rounding a corner, Tyreese shows them a mutilated rabbit which someone had cut open and dissected. He thinks it's the same person who had been feeding rats to the walkers by the fence.
Just then, an explosion rattles the prison. The survivors run out to the fences, and find the governor, his large group of armed survivors, and a tank.
The governor wants Rick to come down and talk to him, but Rick tells him he doesn't make decisions anymore. There is now a council that runs things at the prison. The governor asks if Hershel and Michonne are on the council as he shows Rick that he's taken them prisoner. Daryl nods to Rick, and he heads down to talk to the governor.
While Rick walks down to the outer fence, Daryl discusses an exit strategy with Sasha and Tyreese. He tells them that if things go bad, they should head for the bus they've got prepped for a safe escape.
Rick tells the governor to let Hershel and Michonne go. "You've got a tank. You don't need hostages." The governor replies that the tank is just to show he's serious. He doesn't want to have to blow a hole in his new home. The governor tells Rick that his people have to evacuate the prison by sundown, or he'll kill them all.
Rick pleads that there are sick children in the prison who won't survive on the road. The governor ignores his plea, and simply responds, "I have a tank, and I'm letting you walk away from here. What else is there to talk about?"
Daryl very discretely starts passing out assault rifles to the survivors inside the inner fences.
Back out by the water, Meghan plays in the mud while Lilly stands watch on one of the campers. She sees a walker start walking across the river, but he is quickly overcome by the water current, and swept away. Meghan digs up an old sign in the mud, and after she picks it up and moves it, a walker sits up from the spot it was covering and bites her. Lilly reaches her daughter moments later, but the damage is already done.
Back at the prison, the governor sees two walkers headed his way, and shoots them dead…er. He tells Rick that the gunshots will draw more of them out, and the longer he waits, the harder it'll be for his people to leave the prison.
Carl and Daryl take position inside the inner fence aiming their guns at the governor. Carl thinks he can end it right now, but Daryl advises him not to try. They're too far away to be certain their shots would land, and gunshots would only make the situation worse. He wants Carl to trust that his dad knows what he's doing.
The kids want to head for the bus, but Lizzie tells them that Carol would want them to be strong and fight. She thinks they should find guns and help defend the prison.
Hershel looks at Rick, and immediately, Rick knows what he would want him to do. Rick tells the governor that they can all live together inside the prison. The governor replies that there's more than enough room, but his family wouldn't feel safe sharing the prison with Rick's group. Rick responds that there are several cell blocks. They wouldn't have to interact until they're all ready. Hershel tells the governor it could work. The governor responds, "It could'a , but it can't. Not after Woodbury. Not after Andrea." Rick tells him it wouldn't be easy, that it would be harder than shooting at each other, but none of them have a choice. The governor simply replies, "We don't. You do."
"We're not leaving. You try to force us, we'll fight back. Like you said, the gunshots will bring out the walkers. The walkers will bring down the fences. Without the fences, this place is worthless. Now we can all live in the prison, or none of us can."
The governor doesn't look very happy that his plan isn't working the way he'd hoped. He hops down off the tank, grabs Michonne's sword, and puts it to Hershel's neck.
Rick asks Tara and the rest of the governor's survivors if this is what any of them want. Mitch responds, "What we want is what you got. Period."
Rick tells them that he's fought the governor before, and his old people who joined Rick's group have become leaders in their group. He tells them to lay down their weapons, walk through the gate, and they can join his group.
The governor looks at Rick with a very cold expression on his face.
"We let go of all of it," Rick says, "and nobody dies. Everyone is alive right now. Everyone has made it this far. We've all done the worst kinds of things just to stay alive, but we can still come back. We're not too far gone. We get to come back. I know… we all can change."
Hershel looks at Rick. He is so proud at the amount Rick has grown since nearly losing his mind and giving up [last season], and believes in that moment that everything is going to be okay.
The governor removes the sword from Hershel's neck, and looks at Rick. For a moment, it seems that the governor has changed and is willing to listen to Rick's wise words. But then, in a whisper, the governor says, "Liar" and then swings the sword into Hershel's neck.
Rick screams, "NOOOO!!!!" as he shoots at the governor and runs for cover. A massive gun fight ensues as Michonne seeks cover behind one of the governor's trucks. She tries to free her bound hands.
The governor sees Hershel trying to squirm away and so he holds him down and finishes the job, severing his head from his body. Maggie and Beth see everything from inside the prison fences and are mortified and infuriated.
Tara throws down her gun. Now that she knows what kind of man the governor is, she refuses to fight for him. Alicia tells her to stay behind her, and if they get separated, she should run away.
Lilly walks out of the woods toward the governor with Meghan's dead body in her arms. The governor takes Meghan, pulls out his gun, and shoots her in the head not showing any sympathy. Clearly, his new "family" were just pawns in his vengeful plan.
The governor tells his men they're heading in and that they're going to kill everyone. Mitch starts rolling his tank over the fences.
Nameless survivors fall on both sides of the fight. Maggie tells Beth to get as many people on the bus as she can while she goes into the prison to find Glen.
As the governor walks past the overturned bus Rick is hiding behind, Rick jumps him, knocks him to the ground and starts going to work on the governor's face.
Maggie reaches Glen as the tank continues to shake the foundations of the prison.
Outside Rick's fistfight with the governor continues. They each get in several good shots.
More survivors from each side of the fight fall as Maggie and Glen reach the bus, but now Beth is gone. Maggie tells Glen she has to find her sister and insists that Glen who's still too weak stay on the bus. This time, he is very upset to see Maggie go not knowing if he'll ever see her again.
The governor begins to take the upper hand in his fight with Rick.
Daryl uses a walker as a human shield, and while his attackers open fire on it, he uses a grenade to take them down. The loud bang startles Tara who takes this as her cue to run.
Maggie finds Sasha and Bob and asks if they've seen Beth, but they haven't. Bob gets shot, but the bullet goes through, so they can treat it. They turn to run to the bus as it begins to leave. They decide they have to find another way to flee.
Alicia and another survivor from her group pin Tyreese down behind some planters, and just as it seems they're going to kill him, Lizzie and the other kids come to his rescue, killing the nameless survivor and Alicia. They also run from the prison.
The governor begins choking Rick. It looks like it's going to be the end for our fearless leader and just then, Michonne runs the governor through with her sword. She leaves him to bleed out.
Daryl tosses a grenade into the barrel of Mitch's tank, and Mitch hops out to avoid the explosion. When he turns around, he sees Daryl and more importantly, Daryl's crossbow. Just then, Beth runs up to him and tells him she was looking for the kids. Daryl tells her they have to go.
Rick finds Carl, but when they find Judith's car seat, it's empty. They fear the worst thinking a walker must have taken her. They flee the prison as well.
Out on the field, the governor lays dying. Lilly finds him, and without saying a word or showing any sympathy, shoots him in the head blaming his hubris for Meghan's death. We see the king chess piece that Meghan had drawn the eye patch on in a previous episode. It's lying on its side as a walker steps on it symbolizing the governor's defeat.
As Rick and Carl flee into the woods, Rick tells his son not to look back.
The prison has fallen and the survivors have scattered.

Canonical today announced a distinctive smartphone interface for its popular operating system, Ubuntu, using all four edges of the screen for a more immersive experience. Ubuntu uniquely gives handset OEMs and mobile operators the ability to converge phone, PC and thin client into a single enterprise superphone.
"We expect Ubuntu to be popular in the enterprise market, enabling customers to provision a single secure device for all PC, thin client and phone functions. Ubuntu is already the most widely used Linux enterprise desktop, with customers in a wide range of sectors focused on security, cost and manageability," said Jane Silber, CEO of Canonical. "We also see an opportunity in basic smartphones that are used for the phone, SMS, web and email, where Ubuntu outperforms thanks to its native core apps and stylish presentation."
Ubuntu is aimed at two core mobile segments: the high-end superphone, and the entry-level basic smartphone, helping operators grow the use of data amongst consumers who typically use only the phone and messaging but who might embrace the use of web and email on their phone. Ubuntu also appeals to aspirational prosumers who want a fresh experience with faster, richer performance on a lower bill-of-materials device.
The handset interface for Ubuntu introduces distinctive new user experiences to the mobile market, including:
1. Edge magic: thumb gestures from all four edges of the screen enable users to find content and switch between apps faster than other phones.
2. Deep content immersion - controls appear only when the user wants them.
3. A beautiful global search for apps, content and products.
4. Voice and text commands in any application for faster access to rich capabilities.
5. Both native and web or HTML5 apps.
6. Evolving personalised art on the welcome screen.
Ubuntu offers compelling customisation options for partner apps, content and services. Operators and OEMs can easily add their own branded offerings. Canonical's personal cloud service, Ubuntu One, provides storage and media services, file sharing and a secure transaction service which enables partners to integrate their own service offerings easily.
Canonical makes it easy to build phones with Ubuntu. The company provides engineering services to offload the complexity of maintaining multiple code bases which has proven to be a common issue for smartphone manufacturers, freeing the manufacturer to focus on hardware design and integration. For silicon vendors, Ubuntu is compatible with a typical Android Board Support Package (BSP). This means Ubuntu is ready to run on the most cost-efficient chipset designs.
In bringing Ubuntu to the phone, Canonical is uniquely placed with a single operating system for client, server and cloud, and a unified family of interfaces for the phone, the PC and the TV. "We are defining a new era of convergence in technology, with one unified operating system that underpins cloud computing, data centers, PCs and consumer electronics" says Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and VP Products at Canonical.
Canonical currently serves the leading PC OEMs: ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo all certify the majority of their PCs on Ubuntu and pre-install it in global markets. Over 20 million desktop PCs run the OS today, and Canonical estimates that close to 10% of the world's new desktops and laptops will ship with Ubuntu in 2014. Ubuntu is also wildly popular as a server platform, the number one server OS on the key major public clouds and the leading host OS for OpenStack, the open source IAAS.

Supporting Quotes
Ian Drew, executive vice president, Marketing and Business Development, ARM:
"This announcement is good news for consumers who are already living in a mobile-centric world. Ubuntu will hand users the ability to enjoy a unified experience across the multiple platforms on which they lead their digital lives. It will also help to deliver the highly personalized interface, operating system, content and applications that are central to the creation of compelling new digital experiences."
Peter Winston, CEO at Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS):
"Almost all modern phones have a lot of open source components, it was only a matter of time before someone created a pure open source phone, without the strings attached. A true open source player has the opportunity to be a significant player in the emerging markets, as well as with people already committed to open source. It's really exciting to see Ubuntu entering into the phone market."
Lars Knoll, CTO and chief maintainer of Qt at Digia:
"Applications are one of the key drivers for the continued growth of the mobile industry. Qt, the de facto standard for native cross-platform application and UI development, has played an important role in this development for more than a decade. We are delighted to see Canonical go mobile, allowing developers to combine the industry proven quality and flexibility of Ubuntu with Qt to deliver superior experiences for end users on exciting new devices and form factor configurations. Ubuntu has been a long supporter of Qt and soon developers will be able to rapidly expand their portfolio to include Ubuntu for mobile, further supporting Digia's vision of truly bringing Qt to all platforms and form factors."
Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and VP Products at Canonical:
"We're shaping the future of personal computing. Ubuntu is proven on the desktop, and uniquely positioned to be at the heart of the next wave of consumer electronics, combining a beautiful hand-held touch interface with a full PC experience when docked."
Chris Kenyon, VP Sales and Marketing at Canonical
"Ubuntu presents a single platform for all kinds of personal and enterprise computing, a unique opportunity to simplify operations for industry and end-users alike. We are delighted to extend our service offerings from the PC industry into the mobile sector."

TechCrunch reported that "Berlin-based relayr, maker of the WunderBar, an Internet of Things (IoT) hardware dev kit which resembles a chunky chocolate bar, has closed a $2.3 million seed round, from unnamed U.S. and Switzerland-based investors. The startup had previously raised a €250,000 friend and family round, and had been on track to close a €500,000 seed earlier this year — but received a higher funding offer from a different set of investors, which is the $2.3M round it's reporting."

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

We offer an ever-changing selection of vintage collectibles that we treasure, and that our clients treasure, as well.

*No refunds on any deposits made
*No exceptions.
You are most welcome to make payments early, if you wish to shorten the layaway time-frame.
Sizing Vintage Clothing
Label sizes are variable:
*from maker to maker
*from Junior sizes compared to women's sizes
and vintage sizes measure much differently than contemporary sizes.
So, we always list our clothing by measurement.
We strongly recommend to determine the measurements for clothing to fit you, to do the following:
*select (a few different) garments from your own wardrobe that fit the way you like
*lay them flat
*measure from seam to seam
The most common to keep on hand are:
*underarm to underarm ( chest = men, bust = women)
*at the natural waistline
*at the hip (typically ~ 9" down from the natural waistline)
*length [sometimes measured from center back of the neck (for sweaters, shirts, blouses, dresses, jackets, vests, coats), sometimes from the underarm (for bustiers, strapless dresses, some swimwear)]
*Compare your garment's measurements to those of the item you are interested in,
*keep in mind how tight or loose you like to wear your clothes (knits can stretch, corduroy won't),
*and the ultimate decision is yours.
When it comes to sizing, please keep in mind:
Typically, for American women's sizing:
*a bust of 38 translates to an 8,
* a bust of 40" as size 10,
*a bust of 42" as size 12, and so forth, up and down.
*a waist line of 26" would be considered a 6,
*28" as a size 8,
*30" as a size 10, and so on.
In contemporary sizing, shops such as Sears (which is considered an American standard of sizing) categorizes
*sizes 0 and 2 as extra small,
*sizes 4 and 6 as small,
*sizes 8 and 10 as medium,
*sizes 12 and 14 as large.
Extra large sizes seem to be more variable, generally speaking.
We LOVE our International Customers!
We ask that you please understand:
*Shipping, insurance, delivery confirmation and any customs, VAT or entry fees that your country has are YOUR responsibilities.
*We will NOT falsify information on any customs form to attempt to avoid fees or charges due.
*Weight allowing, we do offer USPS First Class International Mail as an option since it is much less expensive, however, PLEASE UNDERSTAND that USPS FCMI cannot be tracked beyond US borders, and that we have no control of how your country chooses to pass packages through customs; therefore we suggest if you have any concerns, it may be more efficient and reassuring to ship via Priority instead: this is your decision.
Our Return Policy
First, we ask that you PLEASE refer to the above suggestions to insure a good vintage fit/size experience; it just takes a little extra time, and it could save you a bit of heartache; thank you.
If you are not pleased with your purchase,
*email us within 3 days of delivery of your item
*We promise to acknowledge your return request within 24 hours
(UNLESS we are out of town on a buying trip: you will be able to see that notice on our front page when we are away).
*You must ship the item back to us within 3 days of the acknowledgment
and realize that YOU are responsible for return shipping and insurance.
*The item must be returned via the original carrier (unless agreed otherwise in writing),
*in its original packaging,
*insured for its purchased price, and it
*must be received in the same condition as when it was shipped to you with all of our tags and identifying marks intact.
We recommend you use delivery tracking and get a delivery receipt.
Once we verify the returned item is as originally sent, we will issue a refund of the purchase price minus a 20% restocking fee within 3 days.
We'd like to thank you once again for shopping with us at The Vintage Merchant.

its still rather uncommon in general, i think i have so far found 12 runes and only 1 Rune of Minor beast mastery. A friend of mine has got around the same number but hasnt got any ranger runes.
So i'm not so sure about it all, coz from what everyone lets on, Ranger runes are rare in general.

Aight thx for the info.
I remember the first mission after lions gate was packed with runes for me i got 4 on one run so i guess ill search there.

Before atomic timekeeping, clocks were set to the skies. But starting in 1972, radio signals began broadcasting atomic seconds and leap seconds have occasionally been added to that stream of atomic seconds to keep the signals synchronized with the actual rotation of Earth. Such adjustments were considered necessary because Earth's rotation is less regular than atomic timekeeping. In January 2012, a United Nations-affiliated organization could permanently break this link by redefining Coordinated Universal Time. To understand the importance of this potential change, it's important to understand the history of human timekeeping.

Milky Way Photography by Mark Balli

Aurora, CO - United States
E-Mail Mark Balli
'I have loved the stars too fondly to ever be fearful of the night'.
Mark Balli, born in Brownsville, Texas, raised in Louisiana, and now living in Aurora, Colorado, has 20 years experience behind the camera. I picked up my first camera back in 1984 and I have never stopped shooting. Being behind the camera has always given me the freedom that I enjoy very much. It's a way of expressing myself through image and light. I love the whole process of searching, composing and capturing that perfect shot.
Living in Colorado has offered me the opportunity to travel throughout the Rocky Mountains to enjoy the beauty it has to offer. Little did I realize that I would come to love the Rocky Mountains especially after leaving the warm sandy beaches of L.A. There is so much to explore out there that it's amazing. The beauty of the night sky deep in the mountains is spectacular, especially when there is a new moon (Totally dark). I especially love shooting the Milky Way during the summer months and capturing the Galactic Core.
Shooting the stars and the Milky Way gives me peace and comfort and takes me to another world...another Galaxy. I usually drive far away from the city lights and spend the wee hours of the morning shooting the stars. I have become addicted to the night sky.
I always say that people who live in or near the city lights sure are missing the beauty of the night sky. You can't even imagine it unless you go out there and witness it for yourself. For those of you who have never witnessed the beauty of the Night Sky and the Milky Way... I bring the beauty to you. I hope you enjoy my passion.
-Photography is my passion...and my peace

Google's annual developer conference sold out in 20 minutes. Here's what all the fuss is about
Since when does a vendor-sponsored developer conference sell out 5,500 seats in just 20 minutes? That's what happened when tickets for Google I/O 2012 went on sale this week. It beat last year's record of an hour, which had also raised eyebrows.
One easy answer is that Google I/O sells out because of the swag. Tickets aren't cheap, but each attendee gets a gift bag with a street value that typically exceeds the price of entry. Last year's goodies included a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and a Chromebook. Previous years' attendees received Android smartphones.
This has led to lots of grumbling that too few ticket buyers are "real developers" anymore. Others claim the event's rising ticket price and limited supply have made it undemocratic or "too corporate." That hasn't been my experience. In years past, Google I/O has attracted a diverse range of developers. That's largely because the conference features some of the best developer content available from across Google's increasingly diverse developer ecosystem, from the Web to Android and beyond.
The conference itself doesn't take place until late June, but there's lots to look forward to. Here are a few ideas of what we can expect from this year's show.
Android marches forward
Google's mobile OS will of course feature heavily. The question is whether the search giant will roll out a new version at the show. Rumors place a possible launch date for Android 5.0, code-named "Jelly Bean," within that timeframe.
That's worrying to some. Last year's conference was all about Android 3.0 "Honeycomb." Google released the next version, code-named "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS), in the interim. And yet, as of today the mobile carriers have rolled out ICS to just 1 percent of Android smartphones. Even the flagship Android tablet from last year's Google I/O goodie bag has yet to receive the update. If Google launches another Android version in June, ICS will have effectively been passed over by the industry.
Still, the show must go on. If smartphone and tablet makers skip ICS for "Jelly Bean," that's one fewer version to add to the so-called Android fragmentation problem.
More than the OS, however, what could really use some attention is Android hardware. The Android smartphone market is poorly diversified. Too many devices have similar specs, and makers have been slow to adopt Google's more cutting-edge ideas, like near-field communication (NFC). I wouldn't be surprised if Google I/O brought us a new Nexus smartphone that raised the bar for Android hardware (and gave Apple something to worry about). Android tablets, too, could use a jump-start. So far, they've competed poorly against the iPad. Google can't afford to let this market fizzle now. A new reference tablet with an improved screen and an emphasis on multimedia doesn't sound like a bad bet.
Enter the Web platform
Technically speaking, the HTML5 spec isn't even finished yet. But already Google, Mozilla, and others have been distancing themselves from using the term "HTML5" for the current Web standards. The term they're using now is "the Web platform." You'll hear it a lot at Google I/O, guaranteed.
I covered one developing aspect of the Web platform in last week's column about the Web Components project. I expect we'll see those technologies fleshed out further in Google I/O sessions this year.
There are other new Web technologies on the way as well; Google is playing a significant role in developing many of them. One example is Web Intents, a framework that enables interoperability between Web applications. Google I/O conference sessions generally offer good coverage of such upcoming Web technologies.
Getting serious about games
Game development will probably get a fair amount of coverage at Google I/O. Entertainment, in general, has been an area of growing emphasis for Google. Notice how it relaunched the Android Market as Google Play, a new store that combines apps with e-books and multimedia.
Games have long been among the top downloads for Android. Now Google aims to make games a showcase for the Web platform, too. Notice that it launched the Google I/O conference website with a browser-based puzzle game. That means there will be Google I/O sessions showcasing browser features of particular interest to game developers. These include the latest HTML5 features, but also Chrome-specific features such as hardware-accelerated graphics rendering and Native Client (NaCl).
The cloud and beyond
You can also expect the perennial developer sessions on Google's more prosaic services, including AdSense and AdWords. There will be talk of cloud computing, including Google Apps and App Engine, as well. Those services may even receive upgrades timed with the conference.
I expect one of the bigger focus areas for this year's show, however, will be Google+. Although it has struggled to build an audience, don't underestimate how important Google+ is to the search giant's strategy. The fledgling social network is critical, not just to Google's competition with Facebook, but to its search and advertising businesses, as well. To that end, I expect to see further revamps of the Google+ APIs announced at the show, as well as increased integration with other services, both from Google and third parties.
But you may well ask, what's the point? If tickets have already sold out and I can't attend the show, what's the use of knowing what will be presented there?
The good news is that Google plans to stream the keynote and many sessions live. The remainder of the sessions will be recorded and made available online later. Even if you can't take advantage of any free gifts given out at the show, you can still take advantage of its most valuable aspects. It is, after all, a developer conference — an important one.

Product Information
- miWorld OPI Nail Salon from Jakks Pacific
- Part of the miWorld brand
- We recommend this product for ages 7 and up
What It Is
miWorld is a line of realistic miniatures of popular stores and mall spots that allows kids to build, collect, connect, display, and play. The miWorld OPI Nail Salon includes two walls, one floor, a sticker sheet, and 20 accessories, such as a chair, a pedicure station, a table, a display stand with pretend nail polish bottles, and more. Once assembled, this playset is almost eight-inches wide and eight-inches tall. It can be connected vertically or horizontally to other miWorld playsets so that kids can build their dream mall. miWorld figures are sold separately.
This is also compatible with the free miWorld Mall app that lets kids play interactive games on the go, such as painting virtual nails, to earn miWorld currency and purchase store items for the app's customizable avatar. When you point your smart device's camera at a miWorld playset, the avatar will appear in the playset. Touch certain points on your device's screen to see the avatar interact with the set.
Is It Fun?
For kids who love hanging out at the mall, now they can create their very own mall with the miWorld playsets. Kids will love seeing some of their favorite mall stores in miniature scale. While the OPI Nail Salon playset looks cool on display, it's obviously a lot more fun to play with if you have the miWorld dolls. But any doll or action figure around five-inches tall will do.
The app is a fun way to extend the play, especially when kids are on the go, but the interaction between the app and the playset is not very substantial. You also don't need the playset in order to play with the app.
Who It's For
miWorld OPI Nail Salon is for ages 7 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
It took us about 10 minutes to assemble this playset. We had a hard time getting certain pieces to stay together.
The packaging does not offer this information, but the miWorld Mall app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 7.0 or later. The app is optimized for iPhone 5.

If a company is going to stay in business, there's no question that it must continue to market itself. Yet Chrysler's choice to pay to do so via this summer's Terminator: Salvation is a head-scratcher. Some folks have made an issue -- a valid one -- of public funds being used to secure the sponsorship. Regardless of who's paying, we don't get this at all.
Chrysler's director of media, Susan Thomson, said "We have a following with the Terminator movies and we are going to continue with that." We have no idea what following she's speaking of, unless she means the ancient Dodge police car or equally ancient Jeep from the first film, neither of which made us think, "Chrysler rocks!" A modern, beat-up Wrangler makes a cameo in the latest trailer, but again, it doesn't leave us jonesing for a Jeep.
When all anyone wants from Chrysler is good looking, ably performing cars, we don't know what kind of mojo they expect to garner by showing up in the post-apocalypse. However, we also don't know what Chrysler's sponsorship entails. It could merely be a "Brought to you by" tag. Or maybe Chrysler just likes the word "Salvation." Or there could be a shiny red-eyed Terminator sub-frame hauling ass in a 2009 Dodge Ram with lasers and miniguns. Now that would rock. Hat tip to RDS

Forums MaxMSP
Can you do this max/msp?
Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)
Hi am coming from openframeworks but am trying Max.
I need access to each sample of audio from an input feed. In openFramworks I get a callback like this.
audioIn(float * input, int bufferSize, int nChannels){
//Do Dsp Math in here
I dont see an example in Max where DSP math is done.
Also how does the computation spped of Max compare with openframeworks.
Have you looked at the MSP tutorials? All sorts of DSP math is done there.
Some basics:
- Max is the main framework and is (largely for historical reasons) focused on event-handling and MIDI and general GPL stuff.
- MSP is the DSP extension, ranging from math primitives to ready-made filters and FFT and stuff.
- Jitter is the video/graphics extension (actually, a general purpose matrix manipulation environment)
- You really need to understand at least the basics of Max before you dive into MSP (or Jitter), or there will be tons of stuff that won't make sense.

Here's a little casein painting I did for the Tokusatsu 2 show at Q-Pop this Saturday. It looks to be a great time with fun people and great art for cheap! Come check it out!
This just started as a little warm-up portrait from the other day. I kind of liked it, so I kept on extending the canvas and giving it a bit of a work over. A few hours later it turned into this medieval sci-fi thing. Keeping it pretty loose these days.
Percy Jackson: Oracle Sequence from The Embassy on Vimeo.

Here are the beat boards I handed off to the director along with a few color keys and composition studies.
For better or worse it doesn't look like I got any credit for this work on the film. It was a fun little job regardless.
I've been waiting for an experience like Pacific Rim since I was a kid, and I felt like a kid watching it. It's an exhilarating, loud, and ferocious ride filled with jaw-dropping moments. GDT really hit it out of the park where so many have missed before. I spent a few hours over the weekend on these little fan-paintings to commemorate this event. Hope somebody likes em' out there!
Found some more Alchemist stuff on the old hard-drive to coincide with the previous post. This was supposed to be a sort of movie poster/book cover for the project. I still kind of like the sketch better than the final. Oh well…
The original story of The Alchemist follows a young shepherd named Santiago as he embarks on a metaphysical journey to find treasure and learn life lessons along the way. As part of a class assignment a few years back we were asked to redesign a literary classic. The Alchemist has such rich descriptions of each character and setting, which made it really fun to redesign. The original story is set in early 1900's Spain. For my version, I set it in a modern day South American city and redesigned the settings and attire to reflect those changes.
Did you know that dragons LOVE balloons? It's truly one of their only weaknesses. This fact was discovered by French clown Jean de Bobo when he successfully stopped an entire city from being destroyed by luring an angry dragon away from the town with a string of balloons and them setting them free. The dragon could not help but to follow them up into the clouds.
No one knows exactly what it is about balloons that dragons love so much, their color, the buoyancy, the shape, but any dragon tamer will tell you that you should always keep a few balloons in your pocket just in case.
All hail Ulga Von Bloodspiller! The mightiest viking warrior the world has ever known. In her younger years she was sold into prostitution, but quickly learned that brute force can be just as powerful as brute sex. After slaying every madam and pimp in her city she gained the loyalty of her fellow harlots, who served her valiantly on board the viking ship she stole from the very men that used to patron her nightly services.
She was known for charging into battle nearly topless and beheading every man she saw. By the time of her death, her empire was the largest in the nordic region. But alas, her life ended abruptly when she was poisoned by a jealous lover who took off with her golden crown.
History may have faded the memory of dear Ulga, but her legend lives on.
A few months ago I had the great privilege of working with this amazing team on the upcoming TV series adaption of The Strain. It was an incredible experience to work beside, and to learn from, some of the most creative individuals I am now proud to call my friends.
I've been knocking away at this painting a little bit on my free time to commemorate the occasion. It started out as a sketch I did of Francisco, when he sat next to me. Then everybody wanted one, so I took some quick snapshots of everybody's beautiful face with my phone and did the best I could at home.
From left to right: Francisco Ruiz Velasco, Keith Thompson, Guy Davis, Guillermo (freaking) del Toro, me, Simon Webber, and finally Simon Lee.
Thanks guys, for putting up with my dumb jokes! Of course a special thank you to Guillermo for bringing me along for the ride!

Brett Favre and the Vikings would just as soon ignore the Deadspin story accusing Favre of sending inappropriate pictures and voicemails to one-time New York Jets employee Jenn Sterger as part of an apparent seduction gone wrong – and frankly so would I. But, because the NFL has deemed the Deadspin allegations serious enough to warrant investigation, I guess I have to at least mention them, if only to remark on how I wish I didn't have to mention them. So, here goes: I wish this story would just go away so we could all, as Mike Tice might say, enjoy the season. I wish Jenn Sterger would come out in person and shoot down the whole thing – though even that would not be enough now, with this new story surfacing claiming Favre also had questionable electronic contact with a pair of Jets-contracted massage therapists (eat your heart out Al Gore). Mostly, I wish we could have one damn week without a bunch of extra drama. Just one damn week where all we have to talk about is the offensive line or some pulled hamstring or a dumb replay challenge by Brad Childress – you know, normal football stuff.
But no…we get Shlong-gate, which is threatening to make the Love Boat debacle look like an episode of The Love Boat. And, what's worse, all this stuff has to come down the same week we make a trade for Randy Moss. We should be sitting here giddy with anticipation over a reloaded passing game, a reinvigorated Favre and a renewal of our playoff hopes, but instead, all we can think about is what might happen if the NFL finds some fire behind the Deadspin smoke and decides to discipline our quarterback. Yes, somehow, the possibility of Favre actually getting suspended has found its way into the mix. The bad elbow, bum ankle and lack of chemistry with Bernard Berrian stuff weren't bad enough. How about a nice little sex scandal frosting on top of your angst-cake, Viking Nation?
Angst-cake I can choke down, but that rancid frosting? That's a little hard to swallow. And I have to imagine that, if I'm this irritated by the whole thing, Zygi Wilf, Brad Childress and the rest of The Brain Trust must be just about mad enough to smack someone. Of course, in Favre's presence, I'm sure they're being nothing but supportive – anything less might very well send the Old Blackberryslinger back to Hattiesburg where he can lock himself inside his compound, and if any reporters come sniffing around, he can chase them off with his Toro. Don't think it hasn't crossed Favre's mind either, retiring now rather than face up to any more potential embarrassment. What would it take, do you think, for Zygi and Chillz to convince Favre that he should just grin and bear it? Another couple of million? Okay, I admit, that was too cynical. If all Favre cared about was money he would've taken the big pay-off the Packers offered him and walked away. I think he still honestly wants to play, for the same reasons he always wanted to play, including personal glory and making the doubters pay. But I also believe his threshold for putting up with crap is probably lower now than it has ever been. The question is, at what point does the crap-pile become so tall he decides it's not worth trying to climb anymore?
That's what we have to ask, instead of the stuff we'd like to ask like "Will Randy Moss finally shut up Darrelle Revis?" or "What will our defense do to that little pretty boy Mark Sanchez?" Yes, I realize that when you buy Brett Favre you buy a lot of other stuff you don't necessarily want, but I think it's safe to say, this is more than even the most diehard Favre supporters bargained for. This is so much drama that, pretty soon, we're going to wish all we had to worry about was a little schism here and there. We're going to pine for the good old days when all we had to fret over was the occasional across-the-body interception with time running out in the NFC Championship Game. But hey, no matter how bad it gets? We have Randy Moss back! Okay, so maybe Tarvaris Jackson ends up throwing to him instead of Favre and we miss the playoffs, but still…Randy Moss, baby.
