Sci Fi Channel creating hybrid TV series and MMO
The Sci Fi Channel plans to air a TV series that simultaneously plays out as a massively multiplayer online game, the Los Angeles Times reports. This pairing of television writers with game designers will allow fans of the series to influence its story arc through their own actions in the virtual space. David Howe, president of the Sci Fi Channel, said, "This is the Holy Grail for us, without a doubt... this is groundbreaking, and I don't say that lightly."
The large and dedicated player communities attached to various titles in the MMO space are appealing to the Sci Fi Channel. "Bundling a World of Warcraft player community with a series and an on-line social community is something the Sci Fi Channel has tried to puzzle out for several years," according to the Los Angeles Times. The Sci Fi Channel's desire to tap into the MMO market led them to work with Trion World Network, a California-based game company with some major investors standing behind it. The hope is that together, they will achieve a first in interactive entertainment: create a hybrid television series and online game, where players affect or even determine the direction of the show. If successful, this will stand as a milestone in the history of both television and games.
Hard details about the interactive show are scarce, but the Sci Fi Channel confirmed that the setting is 80 to 100 years in Earth's future, and that there will be some drastic differences between this setting and modern-day Earth. Whether this suggests the potential for utopian or post-apocalyptic settings is unclear at present.
Initially, Sci Fi planned to integrate online gaming with a television show through its highly-acclaimed Battlestar Galactica series, but the idea was scrapped in favor of starting over with a clean slate. Adam Stotsky, Sci Fi's Executive VP of Global Brand Strategy and Market Development, said, "In 'Battlestar,' the fans have a sense of who is good and who is not, which side they want to be on and the parameters and definitions of the universe around them... for us to truly do this in a powerful way, it would be best to start over with many of those questions still hanging."
Free of the canon of multiple seasons of a pre-existing series, the creators will have a great deal of creative leeway in putting the show together, potentially offering both active gamers and passive viewers something in one package that they've never had before. Howe explained further why Sci Fi is branching out into gaming and virtual worlds: "A television show that is on once a week isn't enough. The fans today want the experience to go beyond that... we can tell them that there will be an alien invasion at a certain place in the game, at a certain time, and to be there with all their friends and be ready. The outcome depends on them. And then that battle will be part of the universe in the show."
Howe's statement confirms that collaboration on the interactive series will not only be between the writers from different creative and production backgrounds; the players of the game themselves will also drive the storyline forward. Gamers will not simply assume passive roles in the interactive show; to some extent, they're truly a part of it -- participants as well as observers. The game will be entirely online and new 'vistas' will open up for players as the television storyline progresses. Not only that, footage of players in-game will actually be used in the series; the look of the TV show will match that of the game via "green-screen hyper reality," not unlike the film '300.'
Lars Buttler, co-founder and chief executive of Trion (as well as former Vice President for Global Online at Electronic Arts), shed some light on how this union of television and gaming will play out. Player action and interactions in the game will provide the Trion team with, "hard data about which characters, settings and story lines stir the most interests." That knowledge will be conveyed to the show's producers, who in turn will bend the storyline to suit the audience's tastes. However, the Los Angeles Times comments, "that might not sit well with some purists who think a drama should be guided by decisions of art rather than market research." Still, Howe believes that the Sci Fi Channel is offering fans something that they want -- a new level of participation and tailored entertainment.
On the gaming side of the venture, Trion World Network has partnered with Hewlett Packard to raise $30 million from major investors, including Time Warner and General Electric. The Los Angeles Times piece claims that, "the focus of the company is to pounce on the concept that discs and downloads are being left behind and that online games are the clear future." The interactive show is tentatively scheduled for a summer 2010 launch, but more details may be revealed in July at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

This is a pretty interesting idea. I think it has a chance of being pretty successful if it's implemented well. But even the most brilliant idea is at the mercy of it's execution, so everything hinges on how it comes out.

Whoopee! Another thing for them to screw up. Is it not bad enough that they make movies that suck to no end, that they actually think they could come up with a decent game? It's like Uwe Boll deciding he's going to make the next Mass Effect! It just shouldn't happen!

Alright so ever since Riot goofed up their queue system I noticed an issue with my runes and masteries. I will select the appropriate pages for the champion I play and for some dumb reason the game doesn't register it and instead uses the pages the champion selection screen started with. Anyone else have this issue?

The Order of
Confederate Rose was named in honor of Rose O'Neal Greenhow, also called "Confederate
Rose". Rose was a notable spy - Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard credited her with the
information that helped him plan the victorious battle at Manassas. She was
eventually caught and imprisoned (with her young daughter "Little Rose") in the
infamous Capitol prison in Washington, D.C. Upon her release she was sent to the
South and then sent by the C.S. govt. to Europe to try to gain aid for the South
there. On her return voyage, when trying to reach shore after the blockade
runner she was on ran aground her rowboat capsized. Rose Greenhow was drowned.
Pulled under by the gold she had sewn in her clothes for the aid of the
Confederacy. She died a true Southern martyr and hero.
On October 11, 2014, The Florida Society Order of Confederate Rose dedicated the plaque for our namesake Rose O'Neal Greenhow at the Confederate Memorial Park in Tampa. The dedication was hosted by the local Tampa Chapter Mary and Mollie Bell #20.
On behalf of Chapter 20, thank you to all who attended and participated in honouring such a great lady. A special thank you to the Jubal A. Early SCV Camp #556 Colour Guard for their participation.

A New Mexico State Police officer is behind bars after Los Lunas police said he assaulted a repossession tow truck driver.
According to LLPD, officers responded to the Casa De Chavez Apartments Thursday on reports of a conflict between a male suspect and an X-Factor Transportation employee.
Officers said the suspect, Charles Vernier, had the employee in a choke hold when they arrived at the scene. The employee was attempting to repossess Vernier's vehicle.
Police said officers told Vernier several times to let the employee go before he complied. When they attempted to arrest him, officers said Vernier tried to run away, but he slipped and fell after a short distance.
Vernier is charged with aggravated battery and resisting arrest.
"Officer Vernier has been on administrative leave, for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose. An internal inquiry will be launched into this matter immediately," NMSP Chief Pete Kassetas said in a statement.

An ordinance that would have prohibited businesses from leaving advertising fliers at homes with "no soliciting" signs was rejected Tuesday night by the Gilbert Town Council.
The council voted 4-3 to kill the proposed ordinance. Council members argued that the current trespassing statute alleviates concerns made by homeowners who supported the measure.
The proposal would have made it a civil penalty and a $500 fine to leave a flier at a house with a no soliciting sign more than twice in the same year.
It also, as recently rewritten, required that employees who leave fliers at doors use sidewalks and not trample lawns or walk close to windows.
But council members said it was still unclear whether such a code could be enforced without overloading town staff with complaints, and some argued that laws restricting trespassing already allow homeowners to call the police when they don't want people trampling their lawns and leaving fliers.
"How in the heck is this going to be enforced?" Vice Mayor Steve Urie asked. "It would be a horrific record-keeping that's going to have to go on. As much as it is an annoyance, I think the trespassing sign takes care of it."
Under the failed proposal, town code enforcers would have overseen the flier complaints, which would have held businesses responsible, rather than the employees who actually trespass.
Council members who rejected the proposal were Urie, Linda Abbott, Dave Crozier and Les Presmyk. Voting in support of the proposal were Mayor Steve Berman - who had previously opposed it - and council members Joan Krueger and Don Skousen.
Skousen noted that no one had come Tuesday to support the ordinance, and suggested that if there is support, a group could align and put an initiative on a future ballot.
Town Attorney Susan Goodwin told the council that in her research, many cities in the state don't have an ordinance restricting fliers, and those that do most often don't prosecute for the offense. Tempe is an exception and has a history of prosecuting the offenses, she said.

Samuel Hill, former U.S. Embraer President and Vice Chairman and
recent Honda Jet Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has
joined the Strategic Advisory Council for Bye Aerospace, Inc.
Hill (pictured) retired from Honda
Aircraft Company in December where he was Senior Vice President
Sales and Marketing. For most of his aviation career he held

1988, Hill served as General Manager of Aircraft and Flight

Hill is an ATP-rated pilot with over 15,000 flight hours and is
type certified in a number of business jets. His pilot and
industry experience will be valuable at Bye Aerospace where he is
advising on advanced programs. Hill has been interested in
cutting edge technology and believes that to succeed, aviation
needs to innovate. "With the current and planned
developments underway, particularly the solar electric hybrid
'Silent Guardian' UAV, Bye Aerospace is fundamentally
changing the paradigm of cost effective performance," he
"It is an honor to welcome Sam to our Strategic Advisory
Council," said George Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace. "His
leadership and depth of knowledge of the aviation industry, plus
his hands-on experience as an aviator, will be a valuable
contribution to our civil and defense efforts."

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 700reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joan C Good burgers and chips. Great Turkey Reuben! Some of your other food is a bit off-the-wall. ;-) Nov 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by GEORGE P We had a sausage and bacon pizza. I think the bacon was bacon bits out of a jar. Server was never around. It took a long time to get our bill paid. Nov 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Carrieann D food was awsome, would go back. Nov 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stokes T Servers and hostess were very friendly and knowledgable. Nice atmosphere! Turkey Rueben was excellent. Ordered the fall off the bone salad. The salad looked awesome, and was pretty good. My only complaint is that the pulled pork tasted a little burnt, or overdone or something. It could be that we came later in the evening, so the pork had overcooked....... Nov 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mike h The grill was shut down today, so the menu was very limited, but they had what we wanted, which is always good. tried the chili for the first time, and it was excellent. Service is always pleasant. Nov 14, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Barbara M The nachos are huge. I think they'd be better without the overly sweet BBQ sauce. Oct 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eileen M Food and service were both great. Oct 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Katie I called the restaurant from my (quiet) house. The person that answered at the restaurant was rude. There was a game on tv and a lot of noise in the background at the restaurant. The lady that answered exclaimed that she could not hear me on the phone in a frustrated tone (implying I was at fault). It would have been nice if she said something like, "It's noisey here, will you please repeat that".My friends in the tower grove neighborhood have also commented on the poor service. The food is good so I will probably return if i have a restaurant.com certificate, but not with high expectations for service. Oct 7, 2014

Heresy is only another word for freedom of thought.
by Robert Herrick
Why I tie about thy wrist,
Julia, this my silken twist?
For what other reason is't,
But to shew thee how in part
Thou my pretty captive art?
But thy bond-slave is my heart;
'Tis but silk that bindeth thee,
Knap the thread and thou art free;
But 'tis otherwise with me;
I am bound, and fast bound so,
That from thee I cannot go;
If I could, I would not so.

T.J. assured Jordan that he knew about the accidental shooting, but Shawn shocked T.J. by revealing that the shooting had been intentional. Stunned, T.J. became upset, but Jordan begged her son to hear them out then gently explained that T.J.'s father had learned about her past affair with Shawn on the night of the shooting.
Shawn revealed that the affair had ended almost as soon as it had begun, but Thomas had been in a rage when he had confronted Shawn one night while they had both been assigned as lookouts. Shawn admitted that Thomas had pulled a gun, intending to shoot Shawn, so Shawn had implored Thomas to put the gun down, but Thomas had refused because Thomas had been determined to kill Shawn. T.J. argued that Shawn couldn't have known that, but Shawn disagreed because Shawn had seen it in Thomas' eyes.
T.J. was furious that Shawn had betrayed Thomas by sleeping with his best friend's wife, but Jordan insisted that it had been a difficult time for her because Thomas had been deployed overseas for nearly a year. She confessed that she had needed a friend to lean on, so she had turned to Shawn. T.J. became increasingly upset as he suddenly wondered if there might be a chance that Shawn was his father. Shawn and Jordan conceded that they had wondered the same thing, so Jordan had decided to have a DNA test done.
According to Shawn, Thomas had found the letter from Jordan informing Shawn that Thomas was T.J.'s father just before the confrontation. Moments after the shooting, Thomas and Shawn's regiment had been attacked, so everyone had assumed that Thomas had been killed by friendly fire during the skirmish. Shawn had decided to keep quiet about the truth because Shawn hadn't wanted one terrible moment to overshadow all the great things that Thomas had done.
T.J. broke down in tears as Shawn and Jordan held him. Shawn insisted that Thomas had been a hero and that nothing would change that, but T.J. wasn't appeased because he wished that Shawn and Jordan had kept their secret. T.J. grabbed his things then left because he needed some time alone. After T.J. left, Shawn assured Jordan that it had been for the best to tell T.J. the truth then added that at least Thomas had died with the comfort of knowing that T.J. was Thomas' son. Jordan slowly closed her eyes as a wave of guilt appeared to briefly cloud her expression.
At the Quartermaine mansion, Patrick and Sam stood on the patio as they eavesdropped on Larry's phone call in the living room, alerting Jerry that there was a problem. Patrick realized that he and Sam had been right to suspect that Larry was in league with Jerry, but Sam was focused on Larry's conversation as Larry explained to Jerry that Michael had moved into the mansion and had put Tracy on notice about ELQ. Larry warned Jerry that it would be "nigh" impossible for Larry and Jerry to proceed with their plan to procure ELQ, which meant that it might be time to do something about the "Luke Spencer problem" since their "friend" had become more of a liability than an asset.
On the patio, Patrick wondered if it was possible that he and Sam had been wrong about Luke working with Jerry, but Sam said little as she continued to listen to Larry's end of the phone call. Larry conceded that the situation was not ideal but added that a contingency plan had been put into place. Patrick and Sam perked up when Larry mentioned that a key to a secret safe deposit box had been safely stashed in Larry's bedroom, so Larry advised Jerry put what Larry would need to proceed with the next phase of their plan in the safe deposit box.
After Larry ended the phone call, he poured himself a drink. On the patio, Patrick and Sam quietly discussed their options. Sam instructed Patrick to keep Larry busy while she slipped into Larry's bedroom to search for the safe deposit key, but Patrick panicked because he had no idea what to do. Sam was confident that Patrick would think of something.
Moments later, Patrick entered the living room from the patio. Startled, Larry demanded to know what Patrick was doing in the mansion. Patrick surprised Larry by claiming that he had stopped by to apologize to Larry for suggesting that Larry had played a role in the tragedy that had killed Patrick's son. Patrick extended his hand to Larry as a show of sincerity, so Larry grudgingly shook Patrick's hand. However, Larry announced that it was time to turn in for the evening, but Patrick insisted on having a drink with Larry first.
Larry reluctantly agreed, but Patrick quickly had a change of heart when he saw Sam reappear on the patio. Patrick excused himself then left without Larry realizing that Patrick had had an ulterior motive for the brief visit.
On the patio, Sam explained that she had found the safe deposit key, but she had decided to use Danny's silly putty that she had found in her pocket to make an impression of the key to avoid tipping Larry off. Sam was confident that they could get a key made in the morning, so Patrick hoped that the safe deposit box would yield some much-needed answers.
At the hospital, Anna, Michael, and Kiki entered Ava's hospital room to inform Ava that Ava would be charged with Connie's murder, but Ava had already fled. Anna immediately called security to alert them not to allow Ava to leave the hospital, but Michael wasn't satisfied because he suspected that Kiki had aided Ava by keeping Anna distracted until Ava could escape. Kiki argued that Michael's theory was ridiculous because Kiki had been talking to Anna when Michael had arrived to give Anna the incriminating evidence against Ava.
Moments later, Anna wrapped up the call with the hospital's security team. According to Anna, security footage confirmed that Ava had left the hospital minutes earlier. Michael remained certain that Kiki had helped Ava because Kiki had kept Ava's secret. Surprised, Anna asked if it was true that Kiki had known that Ava had killed Connie. Kiki confessed that she had, but Kiki had warned Ava that Michael also knew the truth about Connie's murder when Kiki had confronted her mother earlier.
"So, not only are you a liar, you're an idiot too," Michael said with disgust because Kiki had inadvertently tipped off her mother that the recording would be turned over to the police. Kiki was offended by Michael's remark, but he was unrepentant because Ava had used Kiki to keep Anna distracted while Ava had escaped. Anna doubted that Ava had gotten far, so she decided to issue an APB on Ava.
After Anna left, Kiki apologized and assured Michael that she hadn't had any inkling that Ava had intended to run. Unmoved, Michael ranted at Kiki until Morgan entered the room. Shocked, Morgan immediately ordered Michael to leave Kiki alone because Kiki didn't deserve to be "verbally abused." Michael resented Morgan's defense of Kiki because Kiki had given Ava an opportunity to vanish. Stunned, Morgan looked around the hospital room as he realized that Ava was indeed gone. "Wow, you two are a regular brain trust, aren't you?" Michael snidely asked.
Kiki's patience snapped because she was tried of Michael's hateful comments. Michael sarcastically apologized for not being nice about someone who had murdered an innocent woman, framed his father, and then had used her daughter to escape justice. Morgan warned Michael to ease up on Kiki, but Michael turned on his brother by suggesting that perhaps Morgan had helped Ava. The argument quickly escalated then turned violent as Michael shoved Morgan against the door, threatening to beat the truth out of his brother, but Morgan pushed back as he explained he had been busy searching for the missing baby.
Morgan revealed that he had no desire to help Ava since he had learned the truth about Connie's murder, which was why Morgan had told Sonny that Ava had been hiding out at the brownstone. Michael wasn't impressed because Morgan had failed Michael just as much as Sonny had.
After Michael stormed out, Morgan realized that Michael truly disowned his family. However, Morgan urged Kiki to keep fighting for Michael because Morgan was certain that Michael still loved her under all the anger. Kiki confessed that Silas had offered her the same advice so she had paid Michael a visit earlier that day only to find him in bed with Rosalie.
In Anna's office, Anna sat behind her desk as two police officers escorted Julian to a chair. Julian demanded to know why his apartment had been searched and why he had been taken into custody, so Anna explained that she had reason to believe that Julian had helped Ava escape. Julian denied that he would help his sister leave the hospital because Ava was in need of medical care after recently giving birth. He was outraged that Anna was more interested in finding Ava than in searching for his missing niece who was in the hands of a "sociopath and a madwoman."
Anna assured Julian that she had every available police officer looking for the missing newborn then returned to the topic of Ava because Anna had a recording of Ava confessing to Connie's murder. Julian feigned shock and disbelief, but Anna easily saw through the deception because she knew that Ava had killed Connie to stop Connie from revealing that Derek Wells had been Julian's alias. Julian assured Anna that he had been in the dark about Ava's crime, but Anna didn't believe him so she decided to send him to lockup. Julian accused Anna of abusing her power, but she reminded him that she had forty-eight hours to hold him before charging him with a crime.
At Silas' apartment, Silas was stunned when he saw Ava standing on his doorstep. She pleaded with him to help her then stumbled into his apartment as she explained that no one could find her. Silas shut the door as Ava claimed that she needed a safe place to hide from Sonny, but Silas insisted that Ava needed to be in the hospital. Ava argued that she couldn't risk it because Sonny had sent hit men after her, so Silas pointed out that he wasn't in any position to safeguard Ava against armed gunmen.
Silas urged Ava to turn to the police for help, but Ava explained that it was too dangerous because Sonny had police officers on his payroll. Silas remained apprehensive about not going to the police, so Ava claimed that she had seen two suspicious men loitering near her hospital room, which had forced her to flee. Ava insisted that she just needed time to figure out her next step then preyed on his compassion by reminding him that her infant daughter needed her. Silas capitulated, so Ava hugged him as she thanked him for saving her life.
In the courtroom, a reporter asked Scott if it was true that Duke had been denied bail. Scott refused to answer the question, so the reporter was curious if it was a conflict of interest that he was prosecuting Carly, since he was dating her mother, Bobbie. Annoyed, Scott asked the bailiff to remove the reporter. Before the bailiff could follow through, Bobbie marched up then slapped Scott across the face as a newspaper cameraman snapped pictures.
After the bailiff hustled the press out of the courtroom, Scott assured Bobbie that he genuinely cared about her, but she didn't believe him because she was certain that Scott would have given his daughter a free pass or a slap on the wrist if Serena had been in Carly's shoes. Scott denied it, but Bobbie glared at him as she informed him that they were over.
Meanwhile, reporters swarmed Carly as she and Diane arrived for Carly's arraignment. The reporters fired questions at Carly, but Diane pulled Carly aside to remind Carly not to say a single word to the reporters because it could be used against her in court. Carly promised to behave, so Diane switched gears to explain that she wanted Carly to be "polite, contrite, and silent" during the arraignment. Diane explained that it was the only hope they had of persuading the judge to grant Carly bail. According to Diane, Carly was merely an on-ramp to the true target, Sonny.
Carly looked up as Sonny arrived. The two exchanged a long glance before Sonny approached Diane and Carly. Carly was concerned as she asked how Sonny had been holding up. He assured her that he was fine but he hated that he had dragged her into his mess. Carly refused to allow Sonny to blame himself because she had made her own choices to protect their family. Diane warned both Sonny and Carly not to utter a single word in court except "Not Guilty" when the judge asked for their plea because they couldn't afford for anyone to make a scene.
Later, Carly stood before Judge Chua as Diane requested bail. Diane assured the judge that Carly was not a flight risk because Carly had children and business ties to the community. Scott didn't object, but Judge Chua decided to deny Carly bail because two of Carly's children were grown, Carly was a wealthy woman, and she had international business ties. Carly appeared shell-shocked as Judge Chua called for a fifteen-minute recess before proceeding with Sonny's arraignment.
Carly's eyes welled up with tears as she turned to Bobbie. Carly cried that Josslyn needed Carly, so Bobbie promised to take care of Josslyn until everything could be straightened out. After Carly was escorted away, Scott approached Bobbie to assure her that he would try to work something out for Carly, but Bobbie told him that it was too little, too late.
Meanwhile, Sonny demanded to know how Carly could have been denied bail. Diane realized that things looked bleak, but she assured Sonny that she shined at trial, so she was confident that she could get Sonny acquitted. Sonny refused to allow Carly to spend months in jail until Sonny's trial and acquittal, so he marched up to Scott to work out a deal.
A short time later, Judge Chua returned to the courtroom then asked for Sonny's plea.
In the hallway, Bobbie tried to offer Carly words of encouragement, but Carly was filled with regret that she had ignored everyone's warnings about Franco. Moments later, Sonny left the courtroom with Scott and Diane trailing behind him. Sonny smiled as he assured Carly that she would not be going to Pentonville. Scott confirmed that all the charges against Carly had been dropped. Stunned, Bobbie thanked Scott, but Diane clarified that Sonny deserved the credit because Sonny had agreed to plead guilty in exchange for Carly's freedom.
Diane hoped that Sonny's cooperation would earn Scott's leniency during sentencing, but Scott warned Diane not to count on it. Carly tearfully begged Sonny to change his plea, but Sonny refused because he didn't want Carly to go to jail. Carly assured Sonny that she wouldn't change a thing if she had it to do over again, so Sonny smiled as he told her that he loved her and wanted her to be safe.
Nearby, Michael watched the exchange between Sonny and Carly. Michael ducked around the corner then waited until Sonny was escorted back to jail. As Sonny passed Michael, they exchanged a long glance, but neither man said a word.

Absolutely a great item! By turbotone on MR on 1/13/2014turbotone on MR would recommend this product to a friendi was use to getting my hand wet while target feeding but this item just spoils me… i get to where i need to get without wetting my hands.. it sometimes gets stuck while injecting then builds up pressure and gives a good squirt this maybe a problem for some not to big of an issue with me maybe this problem might be alleviated if i cut the hole a lil bit bigger for the injection tip.. the syringe part where your fingers go in can bother a lil while injecting your favorite foods but again not a big deal for me.. over all i think this is a great item for a target feeder and definitely would recommend and definitely recommend getting a few replacement tips just to have for different size foods..
30" deep tank By erick on 12/29/2013erick would recommend this product to a friendI have a 30" deep tank and this makes it really easy to feed my coral and fish without sticking my hands in the water. love it. make sure you buy extra tips
Best Thing Ever By Bear on 11/23/2013Bear would recommend this product to a friendEasiest time I ever had feeding.
Great for feeding corals and even my shy fish and inverts By Mark on 11/6/2013Mark would recommend this product to a friendI use this to spot feed Reef Chili and even some thawed Brine Shrimp to my corals, Anenomes and even my extremely shy Goby. I have him trained to feed from the tip if I am careful and steady with it. There are some tricks to use it though. The instructions and videos show these.
I am purchasing a couple extra tips though so I can cut the ends of each to different openings for different materials such as Krill needing a wider opening but the smaller more cloudy feeding material for the corals needing the smaller opening like the tip is shipped.
Since I only have a 29G Biocube I did not need the extra extension that was shipped but for those with larger deeper tanks that would have been a greatly appreciated addition to the package.
This is one of those products that is a no brainer for a reef tank to feed corals and/or shy fish/inverts like Goby's and even my Peppermint shrimp that eat feed right from the tip.
Excellent. Great tool. By Lobster on 9/20/2013Lobster would recommend this product to a friendThe instructions are clear and well written. The component parts are sturdy and well crafted. Assembly is easy, no glue is required. It works exactly as described.
good not great By Daniel on 9/19/2013Daniel would recommend this product to a friendIt's kind of annoying. I tend to get my fingers stuck[ I know, boo-hoo]. It will only keep you from getting wet if you're careful with it. Various turkey basters work just fine for most, but I think it's a worthy addition to any reef junkies tool-box. You will find multiple uses for it , like... [Oh. I know what I can use that for...]
Coral Feeding By Catch on 6/6/2013Catch would recommend this product to a friendI have use from my wifes baster to my own inventions which always seemed a little messy and over the top. The Thing takes a few adjustments after being put together and used but I love it as it gives me more control of hous much to feed the corals and keeps my hands out of tank. Would highly recommend this to any one that has corals to feed.
Flexible and controllable By Burto on 4/23/2013Burto would recommend this product to a friendBeen using Julian's thing for about a year. I love how the hypo type admin device delivers as fast or slow as I need. Alows placement of the food into places the old baster would not. For direct, accurate target feeding of your reef system, I highly reccomend Julian's Thing.
Even for target placement of aptasia control or bubble algae removal, this is a very versatile tool.
There are no videos related to this product.

Okies, I know I am very far behind on this one, but having taken over SIMS FMS support last year, it took me long enough to migrate it to a new server before looking into the upgrade path. We do not use SIMS.net for our MIS so it is not installed on the server.
I've logged things with Capita to whom we do pay annual support for FMS but they are not exactly helpful given support on 6.83 is no longer available.
I obviously have a working 6.83 installation on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server with SQL Server 2005. I have replicated this installation on a test server to sort out the upgrade process before upgrading the live system.
I have the 6.85 upgrade CD and the 6.91 CD. If I run Solus.exe from the 6.85 CD I am told:
The SIMS.INI file does not contain a setting indicating the location of the SIMS.net Progam Files. Please indicate where SOLUS can find the SIMS.net Program files by setting the SIMS.INI file correctly.
If I download the latest Solus is tells me:
This machine could not be validated as a SIMS/FMS workstation or SQL Server. This installer requires valid entries for SIMS or FMS to be present in the SIMS.ini located in the system folder e.g. C:\Windows
My SIMS.INI contents are:
SIMS Directory=C:\SIMS
[system32] sysdir=C:\WINDOWS\system32
[BDE] BDEVersion=2.52
[CONFIG32] Params=c:\vol1\SIMS\FMS\SQL\ c:\SQLANY50\ c NamedPipes,TCPIP
[Temporary Strings]
I am so far lost in what I should be doing to get this upgrade to work. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful!

If you had a free pass to indulge any sexual fantasy you wanted with any woman of your choosing, you might want to scope out Fantasy Girl Pass for some ideas before leaping on your foxy (but surprisingly bland) neighbor. Fantasy Girl Pass is home to more than 15 stellar pornstars. From Catalina Cruz to, uh, Cassandra Cruz (by way of Jessica Jaymes, Sasha Grey, Trina Michaels, Puma Swede and others), there's so much top-notch adult talent here who'll be featuring in your fantasies for quite some time if only you'd let them in and get acquainted.
Brett Rossi will be well known to Twistys members and fans. The busty blonde with a perfect 'porno fantasy' body shows off her ample physical attributes and wantonly sexual disposition on her official website. Operated by Twistys, a company so adoring of this particular adult talent that they signed her and only two other girls to exclusive contracts, Brett's site is unfortunately quite small and, unlike its newly hardcore subject, needs time to grow to a more substantial size and quality.
Not only does legendary French adult performer and director Manuel Ferrara have one of the worlds most envied occupations, he's also got a pretty swell dick. Ask any porn starlet considering making the leap to hardcore anal porn who they'd most like to be broken in by and you're likely to hear a simple one-word response, "Manny." So skilled with his member he can turn a seasoned onscreen pornstar into a whimpering, immediately post-virginal, mess in the sexiest possible way. Here at this official website on the Pornstar Network, "Manny" shows us what he's made of with a collection of scenes that, although small, is sure to have you applauding this highly accomplished pornographer.
If you often find yourself so bored at parties that you begin to wonder whether a social life is even worth attempting, you're not a misanthrope, you're just going to the wrong parties! Hardcore Partying may involve cups of tea, cups of beer, and passed-out frat-boys, but it also shows the other side of American party life: the really fucking fun side. The booze is flowing, the clothes are being removed, cocks are brought out, and blowjobs served up, but one thing is still missing from this heavenly party scene: you! Ditch your anti-social tendencies, friend, and relax with some downtime, Hardcore Partying style! And remember, if you do get bored there's always someone else waiting to get fucked (and fucked up)!
A triple AVN Award winner, noted girlfriend of rockstar Dave Navarro, and one of the most enticing busty blonde pornstars on the planet, Stormy Daniels is a hardcore force to be reckoned with. Her self-titled official website, which makes its home on the Brand Danger network, offers fans videos and photos that show Stormy at her best. Fucking both men and women (and herself), Stormy gets down and dirty in scenes both exclusive and licensed from Wicked Pictures, where she was an extremely popular contract girl. With a sterling reputation, Stormy Daniels might be on the minds of thousands of porn fans everywhere, but let's just hope, for their sake, that her website lives up to its promise.
Most pornstars obliterated their hymens long before they ever entered the adult entertainment industry. Nicki Blue, however, is the kind of romantic girl who decided to save her virginity for a special occasion: a live webcam show featuring her first vaginal penetration. Now that's the kind of 21-year-old anal-loving, cock-choking, strawberry-blonde freckled slut we can all respect, am I right? Although you won't find Nicki's "first time" on her self-titled official website, you will find a young, but growing collection of decidedly decadent hardcore smut and softcore erotica that ensures Nicki a place in all our hearts, no matter how high her star climbs.
Dakota Rae Patrick, a blonde, buxom pornstar who can now be seen at her self-titled official page on the Aziani network, sure is the personification of a MILF or cougar. As hot as the day is long, Dakota strips and then strokes, stuffs, and otherwise stimulates her pussy in scenes of solo masturbation. While not the most impressive site on the Aziani roster, Dakota does present herself in a very appealing way and will surely attract plenty of fans with her tantalizing tour page previews. Once inside the site, however, things look a little less impressive. What exactly does that mean? Well, you're just gonna have to read along with the prophet of poon, Mr. Pink, as I take a good, long, hard look at Dakota Rae Patrick.
Rejoice, gents! If you get off on watching big-dicked brothers take on lily-white sisters, you'll no doubt get a kick out of I Need It Black. Problem is, said kick probably won't last too long. There are simply too many negative aspects holding I Need It Black back from achieving its full potential.

"There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life"*…
In 1888, Thomas Edison wrote that "I am experimenting upon an instrument which does for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear, which is the recording and reproduction of things in motion." The system was comprised of the Kinetograph, a motion picture camera, and a Kinetoscope, a motion picture viewer, and was mostly created by Edison's assistant, William Kennedy Laurie Dickson. (The system was likely inspired by the zoopraxiscope created by photographer—and murderer!—Eadweard Muybridge to show off his motion photographs.) Early films from the Edison Manufacturing Co. showed off "actualities": celebrities, news, disasters, and expositions. But later, the company switched to creating narrative films more in line with what we watch at the movies today…
These earliest films, often a minute or two in length, could be purchased for $6.60 (about $169 in today's currency). But readers can see a selection of Edison's early essays, streamed for free, at "10 Early Films Made by Edison's Movie Company."

As search for the concession stand, we might recall that it was on this date in 1732 that Louis Timothee (sometimes rendered "Lewis Timothy") became the first salaried librarian in the American Colonies. A printer and protégé of Benjamin Franklin's, Timothee served as the part-time librarian for the Library Company of Philadelphia, one of Franklin's first philanthropic projects, from its founding on July 1, 1731. As the project took hold, Timothee's position was elevated to a full-time, paid position.

As we take cover, we might recall that it was on this date in 1969 that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was released. Written by Wiliam Goldman, directed by George Roy Hill, and starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford as the titular outlaws, the film was a commercial and a critical success: it was the top-grossing film of the year (with a box-office of over $100 million) and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, of which it won four.
The film prominently featured the Colt Single Action Army, the Winchester Model 1873, the Winchester Model 1895, and the Winchester Model 1894.

(R)D has explored the history of movie trailers. Now, from the remarkable Rebecca Onion, a look at their pre-history…
In the silent film era, these colorized lantern slides were the equivalent of previews or trailers, alerting the audience to the theater's upcoming schedule. Blank spaces in the slide's design allowed for a small degree of customization by hand.
Films tended to be short by modern standards, so audiences would watch them in batches, rather than seeing one at a time as we do today. Film scholar Lisa Kernan writes that these magic lantern slides were "projected between features, much like today's slides of local restaurant advertising and movie trivia quizzes."
Even at the time the slides were in common use, Kernan writes, some theaters experimented with showing short bits of film to advertise coming attractions. By the 1920s, a company called National Screen Service was making trailers for major studio films using moving footage; by the 1930s, studios began to make their own, much more sophisticated preview trailers.
These lantern images were collected by W. Ward Marsh, a movie critic for theCleveland Plain Dealer from 1919 until his death in 1971. The Cleveland Public Library holds Marsh's movie memorabilia and has digitized almost 700 examples of these slides…

As we take our seats and silence our phones, we might recall that it was on this date in 1967 that "La Bateau," a 1953 paper cut by Henri Matisse was hung in New York's Museum of Modern Art… upside down. It remained on inverted display for 47 days. Genevieve Habert, a stockbroker, noticed the mistake (by comparing the hanging to the photo in the catalogue). As it was a Sunday night and there were no curatorial officials on duty, Habert informed the New York Times, which in turn notified Monroe Wheeler, the Museum's art director… who had the piece rehung correctly on Monday.
Matisse's cut-outs are back at MoMA… right-side up, one trusts.
"Don't pay any attention to the critics – don't even ignore them"*…
It is no surprise that critics and viewers alike agree that The Godfather is the "best film" among the ~2600 films considered on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 100% score among professional reviewers and a 98% score from the audience. It is perhaps somewhat more surprising to learn which films divide those two groups; thanks to Benjamin Moore, we can contemplate that…
"Overrated" and "underrated" are slippery terms to try to quantify. An interesting way of looking at this, I thought, would be to compare the reviews of film critics with those of Joe Public, reasoning that a film which is roundly-lauded by the Hollywood press but proved disappointing for the real audience would be "overrated" and vice versa.
To get some data for this I turned to the most prominent review aggregator: Rotten Tomatoes…
On the whole it should be noted that critics and audience agree most of the time, as shown by the Pearson correlation coefficient between the two scores (0.71 across >1200 films). [But] using our earlier definition it's easy to build a table of those films where the audience ending up really liking a film that was panned by critics:
Here we're looking at those films which the critics loved, but paying audiences were then less enthused:

As we think for ourselves, we might recall that it was on this date in 1932 that New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker"s "We Want Beer" parade was held. Prohibition was in it 12th year; and while that abstemious regime intended to end alcohol consumption, it had succeeded simply in pushing into speakeasies and other illegal settings. Government officials like Walker watched as gangsters got rich, while city and state tax coffers shrank. (The blow had been softened at the Federal level by the introduction of an income tax.)
Walker positioned his "legalize and tax beer" pitch as a stimulus package: increased tax revenue would mean more jobs. And in the depressed economy of the times, the argument resonated : an estimated crowd of 100,000 marched, pining not only for a cold one but also for for employment and an end to the violence and corruption borne of Prohibition. Similarly large crowds protested in Chicago and other major cities– all rallying behind a "Beer for Prosperity" battle cry. Soon the voices of the unemployed drowned out the buzz-and-revenue killing voices of the "drys." Franklin D. Roosevelt's election later that same year paved the way for The 21st Amendment, repealing Prohibition; it was passed the following year.

Looking back on the evolution of the movie trailer we must consider the evolution of how we watch movies. Unlike the multiplexes we're accustomed to today, the first movie theaters in the 1910s had only one screen. You would pay the admission, say five cents, and you could sit in the theater for as long as you wanted. Show times weren't precise – a feature length movie along with a short films and a cartoon would play in a continuous loop and you could watch it as many times as you wanted.
1913 would be what many historians consider year zero for the movie trailer. In New York City, Nils Granlund, advertising manager of Marcus Loew theaters, made a short little promotional film for the Broadway play "Pleasure Seekers" showcasing actual rehearsal footage. The idea of showing ads between films was a hit – at least to the movie theater owners – The practice of creating and splicing in promotional pieces into the screening rotation was quickly implemented by the Loew theater chain as well as others.
Around the same time in Chicago, Col. William Selig, one of film's earliest pioneers, would engineer another way to get audiences to the movies. Selig noticed the popularity of print serials in newspapers so he approached the Chicago Tribune, a newspaper embattled in a circulation war for who could be the most sensationalist, to adapt a film version of a print serial. The result was a 13 episode serial entitled "The Adventures of Kathlyn".
This wasn't the first film serial, it was actually the second; but it introduced a new device to film marketing. You see, each week a new installment would debut along with an article in the Chicago Tribune that continuing the story. What made "The Adventures of Kathlyn" different was at the end of each installment something would happen to put the characters in some sort of peril – a cliffhanger often with a title card inviting patrons to come back the following week to see what happens.
So Thus the idea of the trailer was born – and so too the term – as these promotions for upcoming attractions would play at the end of the film – hence trailer.
Most of these promotions were produced by the theaters themselves but by 1916, the movie studios themselves began officially releasing for upcoming movies. These first film trailers were pretty basic – they generally consist of snippets of film with some text overlay such as the cast of stars…

As we contemplate coming attractions, we might recall that it was on this date in 1927 that the first organizational meeting of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was convened by Louis B. Mayer, the head of MGM. The 230 charter members elected Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. the group's first president. Mayer's original intent was to provide a forum for labor mediation and to improve the industry's image; the first of those goals never got traction, so the second– the burnishing of Hollywood's star– became the group's primary focus. By 1929, the AMPAS had established the Academy Awards, and had joined with the University of Southern California to create the first film school.

As we fiddle with our framing, we might send colorful birthday greetings to Keith Haring; he was born on this date in 1958. Haring dropped out of commercial art school in Pennsylvania, moved to New York City, and became involved in the street art scene in the late 70s. He quickly developed a signature style, and began to get recognition for a series of painting in New York's subway system that were documented by the photographer Tseng Kwong Chi. By 1982, Haring's fame had grown, and he'd begun to organize installations at Club 57. Openly gay and an engaged social activist, Haring filled his work with social, political, and gender comment, though largely in a textured, "buried" way. His most overt political statement was his 1989 painting "Silence = Death," a riff on the 1986 poster that became the unofficial logo of ACT UP. Haring died of AIDS-related complications in 1990.

Good staff, good food, no pretension.
great setting / great architecture / excellent staff
Location on campus was excellent, as well as the view on the lake.
The decor was a outdated, and thus room did not feel clean. There was also a piece of paper in the bed linen, which did not improve the feeling of cleanliness. My room had a locked connecting door to next room, and I could hear the person next door snoring.
Sauna, scenary to lake, staff good and quiet room.
No dislikes.
Location- near uni and Aalto museum Lake views Free parking Lakeside promenade into town
Although close to museum, no pedestrian friendly way to get there Too few smiles from staff!
The hotel is located in a peaceful area next to the University and not far from the town center.
The lake and my view of the pedestrian bridge. Breakfast was good. Near the Alvar Aalto Museum and the campus he designed.
My eyesight is not good. I would have liked better reading lighting.
location along the lake, restaurant, friendly staff
housekeeping could be better, I found hairs in the shower, no ketlle with tea and coffee in the room, curtains are not blocking the sunlight
The location, the quietness, the service and the, breakfast and the beds
Surrounding place, Lake view
Specially beautiful views and excellent breakfast in a nice terrace. Also facility for parking.
Friendly staff
Sketchy wifi
Location and view were excellent. Staff very friendly.
Very poor wi-fi connection.
The hotel is within walking distance from the city, and yet looks out on a lake, which is really nice and quiet. WiFi worked perfectly, breakfast was a lot and really good. Considering Finnish prices in general, the hotel was fine.
Rooms don't get cleaned, only the towels get changed.The sauna is only accessible for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon.
My room facing the lake was clean and comfortable. Location was good. I enjoyed morning walk around the lake.
Breakfast and view
Curtains and blinds did not block sun light, which is there through the night this time of year...
Wonderful near the lake
Not very clean
Incredible view from the room window. Easy access with a car and free parking.
Feels a bit dated. Expensive for what you get.
A lovely view of the lake
Couldn't establish Wifi connection
It is very convenient for visiting the University JYFL. It has a nice view over the lake and of skaters etc. The food in the resturant is good. The rooms are excellent but could have more drawers for clothes and not just hanging space. The staff were always very helpful and friendly.
No tea and coffee making in room. Resturant shut on Sunday. No proper sports channels on the TV.
I have stayed at Hotel Alba about four times now and have been very happy with each stay. The staff have been helpful and easy to talk to. Thank you!
It was kinda cold in the room.
Beautiful location near the lake and bridge, good breakfast, friendly staff, free parking
We definitely liked the location of the hotel since it was right next to the building we had to be at the next day.
Very good location and beautiful lake view.
Small room even for not very cheap price.
