Regarding art theft :3I had typed most of this up on my latest submission, but then I realised it would be best to just stick it in a journal. XDLately I've been noticing a lot of people have been putting the effort into taking my pics and coloring over them.I've added noise over the pics for a long time to prevent that, but lately people do it anyways.And I /know/ it must take forever to erase, because it covers the whole picture.And then they still give me credit, but it's like, klfsjd why would I add noise over the pic if I was just gunna let you recolor it anyways? ;w;So, just be warned, I will report you if I see it, I don't find that stuff okay. :UThe only pictures that it's okay is my early 2009 Warriors pictures. That's it.And if credit isn't properly given I'll still report it.(By properly, I mean a link to my DA, not just "Lines by Blue," or "Credit to BlueKyoKitty")Also, making "lineart" out of my stuff is never okay, even for the stuff I said could be colored over.Credit given or not,

You can watch why here, the video she made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTuTyflipx4I'll be honest, Yuji and Zing were great animators that both go/went to college, and we haven't so far. We're basically self taught, and we've got a lot to learn. Them leaving may change things a bit, but we'll still try our best to animate the best we can. It's not a professional animation and keep that in mind, it's just a fanimation and we don't have a lot of experience with animation yet, though I've personally learned a lot the past 2 years I was part of SSS Warrior cats.If you disagree with the change and those two animators leaving (Basically all ORIGINAL animators / directors are gone now), and you'll expect the same quality and style, you may want to un-

Art help and podcastUnironic question about cartooning vs realismA few days ago I asked for help with a drawing and i got a load of great advice. However, while taking the advice a lot of it helped reinforce a notion that frustrates me. The idea that "greater detail and anatomy = better products." Whenever I get criticism for my artwork, the general notion that I get is that people want me to make art more realistically, with greater sense of detail, lighting, perspective, and anatomy. And while I agree I need to work on all those aspects... I have qualms about being pushed in that direction. I like making cartoony drawings, so at what point do you cut off the realism in favor of being more cartoony? Why is being cartoony more frowned upon or seen as being lazy? One person in the threat that was helping me mentioned that while I did good on the artwork in question, I need to take the info with a grain of salt and be careful not to let people steer me towards being a realistic artist if cartooning
Woofs Are Serious, So SeriousThis is something I've said before, but that was probably well over a year ago when there were less people to see it.I don't want people to stop drawing. Anyone, no matter how doofy or weird.Bad art is still art, and I love bad art.I don't hate ANY of the art I redraw or fav. All of it brings a smile to my face and it's always a sadness when it gets deleted due to flooding.I don't redraw things to "make a statement" or "stick it" to someone, I do it because it's funny to me. And sometimes it's funny to me to redraw something by an obvious bait account or something "not that bad".None of my work is malicious, it was all done with a light heart.Woofs are for shits and giggles, a woof is not a weapon.Bad art doesn't lower DA's quality, NON-art lowers its quality. Screenshots, traced bases, demotivationals, photobucket dumps, these are anti-art. Nothing new was created, only submitted. In the case of traced bases; de-created and submitted.So please settle down a bit when you
Jontron*Actually is crying because Jon left game grumps and I hope you all understand my horrible depression right now*Let's not get all social justice on me because I used the word "depressed"But seriously.I'm just going to go cry some more.I think I'm actually feeling the heart break feeling over here.*Is only half joking, but I actually did cry, so shit*
Ashfur is immune to fireOkay, how many times have you seen a picture of Ashfur's big fire scene, and he's just standing there in the fire. Right in the middle of it. Bathing in flames. Not only him, but Squirrelflight and her kiddies. They're just freaking standing there in the middle of a big ass fire! They should be Kentucky Fried Kitties by now!Don't believe me? You DOOO NOT BELIEVE ME? Go up there to the dA search bar right now and type in "Ashfur Fire" and then take a drink everytime you see an image pop up where Ashfur and Squirrelflight are roasting like chestnuts. And not only that, but I find the whole scene confusing. (I've never actually read the book, I'm just basing this off of all the pictures and videos and wiki articles I've read on this scene)So I guess Hollyleaf, Lionblaze it up, and Gayfeather are trapped during a fire (HOW they're trapped, I don't know for sure, they usually seem to just be standing there and can leave whenever they want). Then Ashfur helps Squirrelfligh

Arrietty is an evil movie, apparently...A few months back Fox News went after The Muppets for "promoting the liberal agenda" (whatever the **** that means this week). Miss Piggy got back at them with a scathing remark during an interview shortly after the controversy and we all had a laugh at Fox's expense. Well... Fox is at it again...This time they're going after Studio Ghibli's "The Secret World of Arrietty" and accusing, once again, that liberal Hollywood's agenda is corrupting children and turning them into "occu-toddlers." They also turned their sights on the new adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. They claim that both movies "demonize the 1%" and that people "offended" by these movies should fight back by... littering. Don't believe me? Watch the video and get ready to facepalm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuFcWkFJZgkNow I can understand (barely) how a conservative could possibly have an issue with The Lorax since it deals with criticizing the logging industry and promoting the dangers of excessive defore
Dimstar's Past Episode 8 IS RELEASEDRight here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2PYKIn9VO8O, beware the Soulstealer!For he has come for many!Don't look to the pastkeep your eyes on your back!Don't ever go alonefor he will find you easilyWhen you have seen himmake a quick run for it!Abscond to the forestwhere you may hide wellBut, I assure you,he will catch in due timeThere you will sufferand have your essence ripped out!Then he will recycle iton another needy oneMaybe he'll live forever,or maybe he will notBut until he is killedhis reign will last forever!
Holy buttI've recently realised, Scourge from Warriors, is like Hitler. Oh my god.He took out all his anger on the world towards Tigerstar like Hitler on the jewish people.He was a great leader for his people. Just fucked up the rest of the world.Not so great childhood. (Though really Scourge didn't have a very bad childhood, he just acts like he did)Just, oh my god. Scourge is the pussy Hitler.(Not supporting Hitler in any way here, just a funny observation me and my sister noticed)Lol, have to say that because some people will take this that way. *le eye roll*
Just thought I'd post dis~Okay.When I came on dA, I never wanted to be popular/known.All I wanted/want is to improve my skill, anatomy, etc.Which has taken place so far.I mean, look at my first drawing since I came to dA.Look at all the anatomy I needed practice on.Look at me now.I've come a long way.I still need work, but I improved a lot.As I said, I mainly came on here to improve,to be inspired by other artists,but I realized that being too inspired can be a bad thing.Yes, I used to be a theif.Style and design theif.But look at me now. I have grown, I matured. I saw the wrong of my ways and changed.Is redlines and critiques/tips too much to ask?I am 13 years old.I will improve.I am still young.You can't expect me to wave a magic wand have perfect anatomy and shading.I've bonded to Fuchsia, I don't see her changing much.However my style changes in every picture? Yeah, because maybe I'm experimenting with styles?Hate is the last thing I need right now.Al

Omen of the Stars VENTAnimation is really getting to me, and im getting upset, so I'm going to vent a bit about the Omen of the Stars Warriors arc, and these will be some things I haven't really seen brought up much, here goes.First, I haven't offocially read The Last Hope yet, but I know that *SPOILERS* Brambleclaw makes Squirrelflight deputy.Now, I have nothing against Squirrelflight, I think she is very loyal, but I havn't seen anything to make her an outstanding warrior or display exceptional leadership skills. To my understanding, Brambleclaw's choice in making her deputy was puerly to show that he trusted her again and that they were going to be mates again.No.He could have simply said that to her instead of making his first bad choice as a leader. Dustpelt would have made an outstanding deputy. Or hey, maybe Thornclaw? OR maybe he could have given the deputy position back to the cat he stole it from, Graystripe. OR! IDEA! MAYBE LIONBLAZE!!! Lionblaze would have made a kick ass leader, don't you ev

I have a Samsung LED 6500 Smart TV. When I first got it, I enabled my Canadian netflix account via the smarthub app. Now, I'm using unblock-us on my Macbook, and have successfully accessed American netflix with no issues. However, even though my TV is using the DNS server, the netflix app still goes to the Canadian netflix.
Any help? Thanks.

Nikki, Juan Pablo Galavis
Ten months after America watched Sean Lowe propose to Catherine Giudici on The Bachelor's Season 17 finale, the ABC series is back with its first ever Latino star Juan Pablo Galavis.
On Monday's premiere, we were reintroduced to the single dad who left early on during Desiree Hartsock's season of The Bachelorette. Within the first 15 minutes of the episode, fans not only got to see how devoted he is to his 4-year-old daughter Camila, but were also reminded of just how sexy the former professional soccer player is.
Mother of All Talent
Who knows child stars better than two child talent agents?
Mother of All Talent stars Nikki Galarza and Lorrie Tierney (who also happen to be mother and daughter) share their unique perspectives with TVGuide.comabout some of our favorite child stars — where they succeeded, where they went wrong and on the parents pulling the strings.
Move over, Dance Moms. There's a new type of stage mom coming to TV.
This Tuesday (at 8/7c), TVGN premieres the reality show Mother of All Talent. The eight-episode series follows mother-daughter casting agents Nikki and Lorri Tierney as they search for hot young talent in Staten Island.
Nikki Cox, Las Vegas
NBC's Las Vegas is MIA this Friday night (to make way for a Heist encore), but Nikki Cox could probably use the free time, anyway. The red-hot redhead, after all, is busy making plans for her wedding to fellow actor (and Vegas guest star, natch) Jay Mohr. Still, she found time to talk with TVGuide.com about the evolution of Vegas' Mary, the "rumored" pillow fights she has with her female costars and more (meaning Mohr.)

Las VegasBefore I get into the recap, I have a little Las Vegas housecleaning to get to. First of all, I never knew there were so many people passionate about who they want their Danny with: Sam or Mary. Now I do and I'm lovin' the debate; keep it coming. Second of all, I said that I gave the edge to the two ABC Daytime alums Josh Duhamel and Vanessa Marcil. Well, some of you out there reminded me that Nikki Cox was once on General Hospital. I stand corrected. But seriously. Josh and Vanessa were like ginormous stars on their respective soaps (AMC & GH). I mean, I only really became aware of Nikki when she was on that sitcom with the stuffed rabbit.
OK, now let's get back to our regularly schedul

All foreign nationals visiting Vietnam require a visa and this should be obtained prior to arrival from a Vietnamese Embassy, Consulate or a travel agent. The visa takes around five working days to process and once issued, you must enter the country within 90 days. Tourist visas are available on a single or multiple entry basis and there is also a business visa for frequent travellers to Vietnam (although a letter of invitation from a recognised Vietnamese company will be required). Ensure that the correct entry and exit points are entered on the visa as these tend to be strictly enforced - especially when using overland border crossings. If the visa is issued as a loose piece of paper make photocopies and keep these separate from your passport. This will save you extra hassle and a lot of time and expense should you lose the visa while in Vietnam.
Entry into Vietnam can be extremely bureaucratic; lots of forms to fill in and pieces of paper to keep. Make copies and take great care of all customs forms issued on arrival, as these must be presented upon departure. If the paperwork cannot be produced, you may be fined and it all becomes very time consuming. Keep all Foreign Exchange Certificates and receipts for goods purchased in Vietnam. In order to bring items such as electronic goods, laptops and cameras into the country you must write down the details for customs - so note these before arrival to save time and paperwork. Be aware that customs officers may wish to view videotapes. Foreign currency in excess of US$3,000 must be declared on arrival and no more than VND5,000,000 can be imported/exported.
Visitors are allowed to take the following into Vietnam duty free:
- Alcohol - 1 litre of alcohol
- Tobacco- 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250g of tobacco
Restrictions are placed on antiques being exported from the country and current information should be confirmed with a local Vietnamese Embassy.
Penalties for carrying or trafficking illegal drugs are severe, ranging from long prison sentences to the death penalty.
Vietnamese time: GMT + 7
- Dong (VND or d) - Check current exchange rates
- Notes issued -VND50,000, VND20,000, VND10,000, VND5,000, VND2,000, VND1,000, VND500, VND200, VND100
- No coins are issued
The government is trying to enforce a policy where all business transactions in Vietnam are carried out in VND. Certain establishments are officially licensed to trade in US$ (some hotels, travel agents and a small number of businesses) but despite the fact that it is officially illegal for other businesses, the reality is that the dollar is widely accepted. In actual fact, paying for items in VND generally gets you a better deal than the rate given for US$.
The official language is Vietnamese; however French, English, Russian and Chinese are spoken to varying degrees in different parts of the country. Some English tends to be spoken in most tourist areas and is actually now taught as the second language in Vietnamese schools - local people are often keen to practice their English.
Tipping is not expected but definitely appreciated. Some of the more expensive restaurants add 10-15%. About US$ 0.50 - US$1 is considered acceptable for a chambermaid or porter.
Banking Hours
Monday to Friday 8.00 am to 11.30 am and 1.00 pm to 4.30 pm
The international dialling code for Vietnam is + 84
When making international telephone calls from Vietnam first dial 00 + country code + area code + telephone number
Local Telephone Codes
|Bin Thuen
|Da Lat
|Ha Long Bay
|Hai Phong
|Ho Chi Minh
|Hoi An
|Nha Trang
Mostly 220 V AC, 50 cycles, however some places still use 110V. Be aware that the current can be uneven so appliances may not perform very reliably, even with adapters. In the south, sockets tend to be for American style flat 2 pin plugs, while the north mainly uses Russian style round 2 pin plugs.
Avoid using ice cubes and stick to (sealed) bottled water, as even in the cities the chlorinated tap water still needs boiling for up to 20 minutes to kill any bacteria.
There are reasonably good medical services in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh but away from these major cities, medical services can be poor and comprehensive health insurance covering evacuation is recommended. Think seriously about being inoculated against hepatitis A, polio and typhoid; consider Japanese encephalitis, pre-exposure rabies vaccination and anti-malarials. The major cities and coastal areas are considered low risk for malaria but elsewhere it is best to be vigilant. Be sure that you have decided your itinerary when discussing health requirements with your doctor prior to the trip. It is essential that you check the current situation with regard to all potential health hazards and any vaccination requirements.

Etiquette/Dress Code
In recent years young Vietnamese have enthusiastically embraced Western fashions and culture but away from the beach revealing clothes are still considered quite shocking and disrespectful. Modest dress is recommended in Vietnam - avoid short skirts, shorts and sleeveless clothing. Dress even more respectably when visiting temples and churches ensuring that shoulders and legs are covered.
Diplomatic Missions
A number of countries have representative offices and consulates in both Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi.

Further information on Vietnamese culture and tourist attractions.
- Vietnam Now travel information
Being over 1,600km long, Vietnam experiences some distinct climatic variations.
- Northern Vietnam - has two distinct seasons - hot and wet summers and cool and dry winters.
- Central Vietnam - coastal areas are more temperate than the sticky south (although they do experience high rainfall), while the Central Highlands are pleasantly cooler.
- Southern Vietnam - is fairly consistently hot and humid all year round.
Carry a lightweight jumper as it can be chillingly cold inside air-conditioned buildings during summer.
North Vietnam
|Average temperature
|Average rainfall
|Summer (May - October)
|Winter (November - April)
Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hai Phong
North Vietnam has two main seasons - the hot and rainy summer and the cool and dry winter.
- Summer - is hot and humid, especially inland, which is not touched by cool coastal breezes. Tropical rain showers and the occasional typhoon are also possibilities - light clothes and an umbrella are recommended.
- Winter - It remains fairly dry up until late February/March, when it starts to drizzle almost constantly and waterproofs become a necessity. Warm clothes are a must during the cool months, especially when travelling in the hill areas.
Although temperatures can drop unexpectedly between December and February, it can be a good time to explore the sights as days are cool and rainfall is limited. It is also a safer time to visit the hill tribe region avoiding mosquito related problems - although temperatures can fall to freezing in these elevated areas.
Best time to visit: During winter when rainfall is minimal and temperatures are not too low.
Central Vietnam - Lowlands and Highlands
|Average temperature
|Average rainfall
|Summer (May - October)
|Winter (November - April)
Dalat, Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang
The central belt of Vietnam comprises the lowlands and the highlands. The weather is fairly similar across both, although the highlands tend to be slightly cooler with higher rainfall as the majority of rain normally falls on the mountains before arriving at the low coastal areas.
- Summer - the weather is warm and reasonably dry from May to September. The monsoon winds then change bringing above average rain during late September. This time is not very pleasant as it can rain constantly - there is a high probability of flooding, visibility is poor and typhoons are also a possibility.
Best time to visit: During the winter between February and April, when rainfall is low and temperatures are warm.
Winter temperatures can fall slightly below the average and rainfall is higher than at lower elevations. However, most rain tends to fall during the summer months when it can be very wet - although these summer months do provide a respite from the often intense heat of other areas.
Light cotton clothes are required, although a few warm layers are necessary throughout the year as temperatures can drop away, especially at night. Waterproofs are also a good idea as rain can fall at anytime of the year.
Best time to visit: winter days are pleasantly warm and rainfall is lower from November to March - nights can be chilly.
Southern Vietnam & Mekong Delta
|Average temperature
|Average rainfall
|Summer (May - November)

Ho Chi Minh, Bin Thuen, Mekong Delta
Sitting below the line of the equator, this area maintains a tropical climate throughout the year.
Light clothes are required all year round and an umbrella would be very useful.
- Summer - is hot, humid and rainy but heavy downpours are usually short lived.
- Winter - remains hot and humid, although humidity levels are more bearable between December and February. During April and May the southwest monsoon winds bring rain showers to the Mekong Delta and southern Vietnam.
Best time to visit: Temperatures are not as extreme from September to February as they can be during March and April when the heat is fierce.

Vietnam Travellers Tales
I would recommend renting a motorbike (ask for a scooter, they are automatic and easy to drive). The thought might seem somewhat daunting to the visitor, but it really is a great way to see the town. It is also exhilarating. The town really comes alive in the afternoon and evening with everybody "cruising" the main strip. It is fun to be a part of it.
Perhaps not the best time to travel to HCMC. Most of the time, it rained during my stay. I had to cancel my intended trip to the Mekong Delta as the weather was not compatible. Lesson learned: always be familiar with the local weather details before embarking on a trip to a foreign land.
People at the market stalls were great as were the people generally - we will visit Vietnam again for sure. The mekong delta was great fun - do that trip but watch out for the rain - it''s amazing but very heavy - buy the cheap poncho US army style macs at the American Market. The war museum is an eye opener and worth a visit - it''s smaller than I thought it would be but to the point. The cu chi tunnels were good - have a shot of an AK47 - it''s pretty cheap and well worth 10 shots. Go the the restaurant opposite the old imperial palace - the busy one not the posh looking one - its cheap and fabulous! Taxis are the way to go - cheap and good - and get a metered one from the airport - not one you are solicited for - they rip you off.
Do yourself a favor and attend the evening traditional Vietnamese musical concert and fashion show at SI HOANG, a tea salon located on the street just behind Saigon''s famous City Hall building. For only $15.00 US per person, you get to sample gourmet teas and snacks while hearing talented musicians play extremely rare instruments (like a unique stone xylophone and beautiful violin made out of a stalk of bamboo) and seeing professional models wearing ancient Vietnamese textiles in intimate, charming, and very atmospheric surroundings. Best of all, it is not cheesy or touristy like a lot of things in Vietnam can be. CAN''T RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH!

 For dinner I highly recommend Luong Son Quan. I like to eat where the locals do--off the beaten track from the tourist circuit, and you won''t find any foreigners here, just really well prepared Vietnamese cuisine that is delicious and very safe. Their specialty is a wonderful marinated beef that you grill yourself on a handy table top charcoal grill, accompanied by a nice mustard sauce. For the more adventurous diner, there are also many exotic dishes like deep fried scorpion or grilled field rat! Best (cheapest) way to get around Saigon is by motorbike or cyclo (bicycle pedaled rickshaw) but BE SURE TO AGREE ON A PRICE BEFORE YOU EMBARK! Same goes for taxi cabs - most of them in Saigon don''t seem to be metered!
We visited the war remants museum, one sided but still very eye-opening, the Bin Tanh market - crazy busy but great bargains and all around the Dhong Khoi area is great shopping. Lemon Grass restaurant (just off Dhong Khoi St) had some lovely Vietnamese food and we ate in Camargue and Le Jardin French restaurants, the former somewhat more expensive but amazing food and setting. Also worth a look is the Fine Arts Museum, set in a beautiful building (French style) and if you go down the corridors and not just the main rooms, there is a wealth of ornaments and paintings to be seen. A find are the 2 galleries selling art at the bottom of this museum.
Highlights of the trip, for me, were: the Water Puppet Theatre - just incredible; the Museum of the Revolution (a couple of minutes from the hotel) and the Museum of Ethnology. I was very touched by the people who I found very warm and helpful. I learnt to speak a few words of Vietnamese - the most important being ''thank you''. As in most countries people really appreciate it when you try to speak some of the language. And for visitors from wealthy countries don''t moan if you (and it''s very occasional - much worse in most western countries) get overcharged by the odd taxi driver. It will probably cost you a dollar. The average weekly wage is not high so tip generously.
Halong bay is a must to go in Hanoi. Those not prepared to climb and sun under the hot sun, please do not go to Perfume Pagoda. No safety measures for the sampan ride to the Perfume Pagoda. Plenty of local tour agencies. No problem to move around.
Street merchants in Saigon are unwilling to bargain despite there not being many tourists around. For best-priced food and souvenirs try the Pha Nga Lao area near the Sahara Bar. Some taxis have doctored meters showing absurd amounts to fool tourists -- problem easily resolved by getting the doorman or greeter at your destination to talk to the driver, though. Don''t miss the Cu Chi Tunnels daytrip and the War Remnants Museum. Beware of limited direction signs and lack of spoken English throughout the city.
Recommended restaurants: Pho Thin - excellent pho bo; Pho 24 - good pho bo in a cleaner location; Cha Ca La Vong - fried fish in turmeric spiced oil with fresh mint, dill and spring onion; Fanny - for home made french ice cream; Bobby Chin and Wild Rice - if you are looking for chic restaurants. Food does not beat what you get on the street though. Coffee shops in Hang Hanh - excellent local coffee.
As recommended in Lonely Planet, we went to the Old Quarter to find "Hanspan" at 116 Hang Bac, we didn''t pay enough attention and found out later that AZ Queen Cafe Tour is there at that address. We found out talking to other people on the two tours we booked that we paid about double than they did (I guess we looked richer and dumber). The Perfume Pagoda Tour should be avoided. A 2-hour van ride brings you to a river, there are flat-bottom boats with lady rowers are waiting. Four people per boat squat on 8 inch high, hard wood benches. For a cramped hour, you are rowed along the pretty river. You reach a dock and sellers of water, and everything else descend on you (same as when you got out of the van). It was very hot and we decided to only go to the lower pagoda, which was very nice. Others decided to go all the way and our guide said it was 2, then 4, then 4-5 kilometers up the hill and back.

The people that went to the "Perfume Pagoda" said it didn''t smell so nice and was not worth the effort. The worst part was our rower who shadowed us and continuosly told us "I have boat". On the row back she said "you give tip money, I''m very tired'' over and over. At the dock she said my tip "not enough". To top it off the guide, who was lousy by the way, told the group that we would all be dropped at the centrally located lake near the "Old Quarter", not our hotels. My back still hurts and is was one of the most unpleasant days we have spent. In contrast, our tour to Hai Long Bay was very good, with a good guide. One bad defect was the cabin on the junk we were to sleep in had an air conditioner that we had to pay $10 US to get turned on. The actual tour was given by APT Tours at 37 Dao Duy Tu Street in the Old Quarter. They seem OK. The "Hanoi Hilton", which is actually Hoa Lo Prison, should be visited, just take a cab. (Our 1/2 day Hanoi tour skipped it.) The Hoan Kiem Lake is very pleasant and there is a pagoda right on the lake. We also had great tasting Vietnamese ice coffee and hot coffee at Hapro cafe on the lake. (I''m spoiled now and the coffee back home tastes like water). If you want cheap eyeglasses or knockoff watches there are clusters of stores for that. Crossing streets without traffic lights is a little scary. Tons of motor bikes and guys trying to get you on their cyclo and you weave through the traffic. We would advise crossing with the natives at first to get the idea. Then pray.

Windows Boots up really SLOW
OK so this is my buildup story that triggered this issue:
My windows 7 ultimate x64 was running perfectly well and fast until my Powercool 80 plus 7500W PSU burst (died) i then got a replacement Crosair CX600 600W. I installed the new PSU then power up my PC, It is then when i discovered it takes forever Windows to boot up, and mostly it does not boot up at all.
I am suspecting some sort of Hardware damage caused by PSU burst.
Checked my RAM on different PC works fine
Checked my Graphic Card on different PC works fine
Any suggestions....?

Im wondering if the PSU has damaged the HDD. Are you running a traditional SATA hdd? Or a SSD?
If it's a Traditional Sata HDD, try running CHKDSK /r in a command prompt, It will then ask you to reboot your pc for the check disc to take place. Go ahead and reboot. The Check Disc will then start. Let it run through, Keep an eye on the screen to see if it mentions bad sector(s)
Have you checked msconfig to see if you have a ton of crap set to start up when windows boots?.

CORDIC-based approximation of complex exponential
y = cordiccexp(theta,niters)
y = cordiccexp(theta,niters) computes cos(theta) + j*sin(theta) using a CORDIC algorithm approximation. y contains the approximated complex result.
theta can be a signed or unsigned scalar, vector, matrix, or N-dimensional array containing the angle values in radians. All values of theta must be real and in the range [–2π 2π).
niters is the number of iterations the CORDIC algorithm performs. This is an optional argument. When specified, niters must be a positive, integer-valued scalar. If you do not specify niters or if you specify a value that is too large, the algorithm uses a maximum value. For fixed-point operation, the maximum number of iterations is one less than the word length of theta. For floating-point operation, the maximum value is 52 for double or 23 for single. Increasing the number of iterations can produce more accurate results, but it also increases the expense of the computation and adds latency.
y is the approximated complex result of the cordiccexp function. When the input to the function is floating point, the output data type is the same as the input data type. When the input is fixed point, the output has the same word length as the input, and a fraction length equal to the WordLength – 2.
The following example illustrates the effect of the number of iterations on the result of the cordiccexp approximation.
wrdLn = 8; theta = fi(pi/2, 1, wrdLn); fprintf('\n\nNITERS\t\tY (SIN)\t ERROR\t LSBs\t\tX (COS)\t ERROR\t LSBs\n'); fprintf('------\t\t-------\t ------\t ----\t\t-------\t ------\t ----\n'); for niters = 1:(wrdLn - 1) cis = cordiccexp(theta, niters); fl = cis.FractionLength; x = real(cis); y = imag(cis); x_dbl = double(x); x_err = abs(x_dbl - cos(double(theta))); y_dbl = double(y); y_err = abs(y_dbl - sin(double(theta))); fprintf('%d\t\t%1.4f\t %1.4f\t %1.1f\t\t%1.4f\t %1.4f\t %1.1f\n', niters, y_dbl, y_err,(y_err * pow2(fl)), x_dbl, x_err,(x_err * pow2(fl))); end fprintf('\n');
The output table appears as follows:
NITERS Y (SIN) ERROR LSBs X (COS) ERROR LSBs ------ ------- ------ ---- ------- ------ ---- 1 0.7031 0.2968 19.0 0.7031 0.7105 45.5 2 0.9375 0.0625 4.0 0.3125 0.3198 20.5 3 0.9844 0.0156 1.0 0.0938 0.1011 6.5 4 0.9844 0.0156 1.0 -0.0156 0.0083 0.5 5 1.0000 0.0000 0.0 0.0312 0.0386 2.5 6 1.0000 0.0000 0.0 0.0000 0.0073 0.5 7 1.0000 0.0000 0.0 0.0156 0.0230 1.5
CORDIC is an acronym for COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer. The Givens rotation-based CORDIC algorithm is one of the most hardware-efficient algorithms available because it requires only iterative shift-add operations (see References). The CORDIC algorithm eliminates the need for explicit multipliers. Using CORDIC, you can calculate various functions, such as sine, cosine, arc sine, arc cosine, arc tangent, and vector magnitude. You can also use this algorithm for divide, square root, hyperbolic, and logarithmic functions.
Increasing the number of CORDIC iterations can produce more accurate results, but doing so also increases the expense of the computation and adds latency.
X represents the real part, Y represents the imaginary part, and Z represents theta. The accuracy of the CORDIC rotation kernel depends on the choice of initial values for X, Y, and Z. This algorithm uses the following initial values:
CORDIC functions discard any local fimath attached to the input.
The CORDIC functions use their own internal fimath when performing calculations:
The output has no attached fimath.

A Book a Week
On 04, Sep 2014 | No Comments | In Life | By Daniel Kao
At the beginning of this summer, I decided that I wanted to read one book a week.
The reasoning behind this was simple. Books are a resource that authors spends years crafting and compiling their knowledge and experience that I can pick up for less than $20 and learn about what they learned in a mere couple days of reading. The vast wealth of information, experiences, and perspectives are so immensely large that not reading books would mean missing out on a great deal of learning.
It hasn't always been easy, however, to fit in reading time in between all the different things that I have been working on this summer, but I did my best to be intentional and consistent with my reading time.
So in no particular order, I've had the opportunity to read the following books this summer:
- Inner Game of Tennis
- The Promise of a Pencil
- Zero to One
- The Obstacle is the Way
- The Art of Learning
- I'm Feeling Lucky
- In Defense of Food
- Jesus' Son
- Black Swan
From the engaging narratives of The Promise of a Pencil, I'm Feeling Lucky, and Jesus' Son to the deep philosophy of Black Swan and The Obstacle is the way, reading has definitely given me a better perspective of the world and how I approach things. It's given me frameworks to think about everyday choices, and how I can better myself and the people around me.
This is a habit that I hope to continue for years to come, and perhaps I'll write my own book one day. Feel free to follow me on goodreads, I love chatting books!

Building Tallymark
On 29, Jul 2013 | No Comments | In Projects | By Daniel Kao
I started learning Django this summer, with the goal of creating a web based application with a friend.
Having never worked with Python or Django before, the only appropriate response to building this application was "challenge accepted".
From the git-go (see what I did there), I had issues getting the right versions of Django and Python set up both locally and on the server. After a whole week installing Arch Linux and living in the terminal, I finally got Django setup and running without errors.
We officially unveiled the pre-launch page yesterday, opening the application up for people to stay updated via email.
To me, this project represents the power of autodidactic learning, or learning on your own, not bound by any requirements, grades, or work hours. In fact, everything I know about the web was completely learned on my own, independent of any academic classes.
About Django
Being the first time that I worked with Python and Django, there were a lot of things I had to get used to, such as the fact that python uses tabs instead of curly braces, giving me weird indentation errors on occasion.
But I've really grown to appreciate the framework, because of the way that it makes so many things so simple, and how intuitive the model-view-template philosophy is. I'm definitely beginning to like Python even more than PHP (gasp).
I'll spare you the rest of the technical details, because there's still a lot that I'm learning about Python and Django.
About Tallymark
Tallymark is an application designed as a hassle free way to divide costs between people who live together, saving you the trouble of figuring out how to pay each other back. The idea is simple: Have each person log their purchases for the apartment/house/room, and Tallymark will take care of the rest.

Why We Often Waste Time
On 07, Jul 2012 | 2 Comments | In Education, Life, Productivity | By Daniel Kao
Ever since a young age, we have allowed programs and systems to manage our lives.
We all know the feeling of wasting an afternoon on the computer, not really doing much besides endlessly browsing Facebook and randomly surfing the internet. We spend half of our time online on "social networks" that prove to be quite anti-social. So we mindlessly browse around, refreshing the page every 2 minutes, hoping to see something new scroll across our newsfeed.
We are so accustomed to having our schedule managed for us that when we have free time, we don't know what to do with it. So we occupy ourselves by doing the easiest thing possible, which often is some sort of mindless activity such as watching TV, randomly browsing Facebook, or doing nothing at all.
We find ourselves often bored, because we have nothing to occupy ourselves with. We don't have enough personal projects or things to do to keep us occupied. It's a trend that seems to happen every year, as students all across the nation begin their summer breaks. All of a sudden, they are no longer given homework, tests, or academic projects to manage their time.
I've realized that people who have found their passions find themselves in boredom far less frequently. The reason is that people who have found passion and purpose are always taking steps in regard to their purpose. If you often find yourself bored with nothing to do, it's probably a good indicator that you're used to other people managing your time and telling you what to do.
But at some point in life, something clicks and people make the shift to being intentional about what they want to do, setting clear goals and steps to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, we're not taught how to manage our time growing up, and so it becomes a cycle of trial and error in order to be productive and creative with our time.
When and how did you learn to manage your time? and what difference did it make?

Chapter 1 : Prologue
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 3
Background: Font color:
If only Warwick hadn't insulted her name (so what if Fionn was a boy name, Warwick was a pretty weird name, too), she wouldn't have hexed him just as Bailiwick was coming around the corner.
"Knight, Mullins," Bailiwick said to them as he met them behind Hagrid's, the gamekeeper, cabin, "We're going to be gathering Goosegrass for Professor Slughorn. It grows in darkness and near water sources, so the creek that goes through the western portion of the forest would be the perfect place to look. Shall we?" The handsome professor gestured for them to walk to his right.
Fionn sighed. This was going to be torture. Warwick would probably push her in the creek or something.
Bailiwick walked slowly, occasionally pulling out a map to consult. Warwick walked behind him, occasionally moaning and complaining about he shouldn't be here and how he didn't do anything. Fionn resisted the urge to push him over.
She shivered as a cold breeze brushed her shoulders, contrasting with the humid June weather. The Forbidden Forest seriously creeped her out. Fionn pulled her brown hair out of her ponytail so it could cover her neck.
"It should be just up here," Bailiwick called over his shoulder.
Just when they got within ten feet of the river, Warwick tripped. Well, maybe Fionn tripped him, but no one could prove that.
"Come on, Mullins. It's just up there," Fionn taunted.
Warwick moaned and cursed, causing Bailiwick to take five points from Ravenclaw. Warwick pulled himself up, almost stepping on a small, white flower in the process.
Suddenly, Bailiwick dove toward Warwick, who yelped and jumped out of the way.
Bailiwick was crouched down by the flower, looking awed.
"Er, Professor?" Fionn asked. Bailiwick ignored her and pulled out his wand. He waved it soundlessly. A Patronus hawk appeared.
"Dumbledore, meet me in the Forbidden Forest immediately. Bring someone who can escort Mullins and Knight back up to the school."
"Professor, what is going on?" Fionn tried again.
Bailiwick glanced up at her.
"Knight, Mullins, neither of you happen to read obscure Herbology books in your spare time, do you?"
They both rapidly shook their heads.
"Well, then neither of you would know what this plant is, then?" he continued without letting them answer, "It's a Moly flower. It has many powerful properties like its ability to protect against Dark Enchantments and counteract them if ingested. It's also been extinct for over 500 years."
Warwick looked pale and Fionn gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth.
"When it is used in potions, it can do amazing things. Like cure the insanity caused by a prolonged use of the Cruciatus Curse on a person."
Fionn's brown eyes widened.
The sound of footsteps caused all three to jump, but relax when they saw it was only Dumbledore and Nereus Bush, the Head Boy.
"Ms. Knight, Mr. Mullins, Nereus will be taking you back to your common rooms," Dumbledore informed them while squatting next to Bailiwick.
"C'mon," Nereus beckoned the two to follow him back up to the school. Warwick followed him without protest, ready to get out of the dark forest.
Fionn hesitated, glancing back at the professors before following her fellow students.
"It's Moly, Albus. I know it is."
Dumbledore adjusted his glasses and studied the flower.
"Is there a way to safely move the flower?"
Bailiwick contemplated the question and nodded. He conjured a flower pot. Using his wand, he delicately levitated the flower, the roots, and the dirt surrounding it out of the ground. It rested softly into the pot.
"We'll need to hurry. I don't think it'll last long in this pot."
Dumbledore nodded, seeming deep in thought.
"I don't believe myself of the skill to work with this plant," Bailiwick admitted, "Do you have anyone in mind who could?"
Dumbledore looked up at him, his eyes twinkling like usual.
"Selene Xanderson."

Federer, Henin are top seeds for Wimbledon
Federer, Henin are top seeds for Wimbledon
Federer, Henin are top seeds for Wimbledon
June 20th, 2007
Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Roger Federer and Justine Henin have been installed as the top seeds at Wimbledon, which begins next Monday at the venerable All England Club.
Federer enters the third Grand Slam event of the year as the four-time defending champion, but comes off a disappointing loss to Rafael Nadal in the French Open final. The Swiss superstar will try to become the first man to win five straight Wimbledon crowns since the great Bjorn Borg accomplished the feat from 1976-80, and he will attempt to do so without a grass-court tuneup.
After the loss to Nadal in Paris, Federer skipped his usual Wimbledon tuneup in Halle, Germany and is not playing either of the two warmup tournaments this week.
Nadal has been seeded second at Wimbledon. The reigning three-time French Open champ reached the final at the All England Club last July, but lost to Federer in four sets.
American Andy Roddick, a two-time runner-up to Federer on the hallowed grounds of the London suburb, has been seeded third, followed by Novak Djokovic of Serbia, Chile's Fernando Gonzalez, Russia's Nikolay Davydenko, Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, Britain's Andy Murray, American James Blake and Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus.
Wimbledon seeds its players by using the ATP rankings. The top 32 ranked players are seeded, but rearranged on a surface-based system. For example, Berdych is ranked 11th by the ATP, but seeded seventh at Wimbledon.
Henin, coming off her third straight French Open crown, is the top women's player in the world and earned the top seed for Wimbledon despite never winning the title.
The Belgian star is a two-time runner-up, though, losing to France's Amelie Mauresmo in a three-set thriller last year and falling to American Venus Williams in another three-setter in 2001.
Russia's Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion, is this year's second seed, while rising Serb star Jelena Jankovic is third. Jankovic is coming off a victory over Sharapova in the title match of the grass tuneup in Birmingham after losing to Henin in the French semifinals.
Mauresmo, who has struggled to recover from an appendectomy earlier this year, will defend her Wimbledon crown as this year's fourth seed. She will be followed by Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova and French runner-up Ana Ivanovic of Serbia.
Two-time Wimbledon champ Serena Williams is seeded seventh. She won the coveted crown in 2002 and 2003, beating sister Venus both times, then lost to Sharapova in the '04 final.
Russia's Anna Chakvetadze, 1997 champ Martina Hingis of Switzerland and Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia round out the top 10 seeds.
Venus Williams, the champion here in 2000, 2001 and 2005, is seeded 24th.
The draw is scheduled to be released on Friday.

Adding this to my Warm Soul and NARS SIN. A low key everyday natural looking flush to the cheek that is great with a intense eye or lip look or as an overall understated look for day time. This is a muted neutral pink that on my neutral/cool skin tone leans a little mauvey. This should work on a multitude of skin tones as it's so understated. If you are looking for a natural blush give this one a try.

I just have to give Cubic it's props, before I disappear into my Tarte holiday cheek palettes for a while. MAC is second only to Tarte for it's powder blushes, imo, and Cubic and Well-dressed are my two favorites. I read once that this was used on Jenny Garth (anyone remember her?) and her coloring is very similar to mine, as is her kind of round face (no offense, Jenny) and it does work some contouring magic on me while imparting some nice pink undertones. It's a satin finish, which is my favorite, even over the sheertones, for it's sheerness and bit of life and dimension. Just a great neutral that looks boring in the pan but quite lovely on the face.

I'm still a novice when it comes to blushes and it's taken me quite some time to figure out what colors are flattering and natural. My skin is olive/tan so anything too dark makes me look ruddy and dirty and anything too bright makes me look slightly demented. I wanted something that literally mimics the color of my cheeks when I blush. It's been tough going because, left to my own devices, I tend to pick colors that are too dark. After buying a few Nars blushes that really didn't work for me, I decided to give MAC a try.
I went to the MAC counter about a month ago and the SA picked Cubic out for me. As soon as she applied it, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. It looks a tad scary in the pan (well, scary to me as pinks freak me out a bit) but it is the most natural, flattering blush I have ever used. It adds much needed warmth to my face but doesn't look fake. I also love that it contains no glitter. The color pay off is also excellent. I like a sheer wash of color so all it takes is one or two swipes and I'm done!
For the price (about $22) and the amount, I think this is a great buy. If you're looking for something that falls into the more natural category, Cubic is a great choice.

Absolutely love this blush! It is seriously so beautiful on, and gives the most natural blush look to your face. Very buildable but still subtle. Probably in my top three all time favorite blushes! Gorgeous!!

I own a MAC X6 blush palette with six blushes: Dollymix, Fleur Power, Sincere, Style, Well Dressed, and- of course- Cubic. I was intrigued by this colour when I saw it online, and it intrigued me even more when I saw it in the MAC store. When I swatched it on the back of my hand, I liked how it looked. It was very different from all the other blushes that I own, which was the main reason why I bought it.
I tried on this colour with my MAC 129 brush on top of my Chanel Cream Blush in Inspiration to set it (it's a light, bright pink shade), and it looked so beautiful on my skin (I'm in NC 15). It is quite subtle alone, but it's still a beautiful colour either way. I wear it both with my Chanel cream blush, or by itself.
This colour may seem too boring for some, but I still think that it is a gorgeous colour for days when I only want to wear a small amount of colour on my cheeks. It's a refreshing change from Dollymix, Fleur Power, Sincere, and Style. (Well Dressed is also a pretty light shade, but I love that colour, too). If you are making a MAC blush palette, than I would highly recommend this colour!

I was excited to try this because of the great reviews, but I don't like this blush as much as I thought I would. The pros are that it is neutral and will work with all your makeup looks, it is foolproof because it's so lightly pigmented, and the price point is decent. The cons are that it's so lightly pigmented that it disappears within a couple of hours.
The color is a muted pinky-beige that would be perfect if it were more pigmented. I wear Warm Soul over it to give it a little dimension and it looks ok. Won't repurchase, but I will continue to wear it until I run out.

Cubic is a pretty matte neutral fleshy pink with brown undertones. Thankfully the brown undertones aren't prominent to the point that it would look dirty on my fair skin (like Melba did for example)
I like it for a fall look that requires muted, sculpted cheeks with earthy eyeshadows and MLBB lip colors. But it's not one of blushes that make my face look healthy and glowy to be honest. It has enough pigmentation to show up easily but there's no mayor risk to end up overdone. Longevity is about average.
Overall Cubic has it's rightful place in my stash right now but I don't consider it a must-have.
This blush sat neglected in my palette for a year or so, I just started using it again and am amazed that I forgot how nice it is. I am an NC37/ Nars Stromboli girl and this comes off as a soft pink neutral cheek. Does take a couple of goes to get it to show up properly, so hard to over do.

I don't hate this product but I don't love it either. Its just kind of there. I like neutral blushes but I feel like because this is a neutral pink it makes my face look...ruddy and a bit dirty sometimes. I have used it on clients and it has looked great, but its up to the opinion of the wearer. I feel like this blush is a pass. Something like MAC prism is similar but just deeper in colour and actually adds something more to your look...instead of just being there.

Although this blush may seem boring in the pan, it is the BEST blush I have ever found for my NC15 skin. I can use this no matter what look I am going for -- cool or warm colors on my eyes or lips -- it looks good with EVERYTHING. If someone was just looking to start their MAC collection and they had similar coloring to me this would be a must have for sure!! I will always repurchase.

Portland Aquarium, a December 2012 addition to Milwaukie, introduces visitors to thousands of waterborne species. Guests can slide their hands along the smooth flesh of a stingray or the knobby arms of a starfish or engage in staring contests with leopard sharks and jellyfish. Other exhibits include a cold-water tank filled with fish native to Oregon's coast and a rainforest-themed jungle gym for children. The tropical touch-tank woos visitors with its displays of vibrant-color aquatic life while amphibious wonders, including poison dart frogs, thrill visitors. Those seeking bigger thrills may visit the ball pythons and bearded dragons or get their picture taken with a lorikeet. Land-loving iguanas also lurch around in the mix.
The Portland Japanese Garden is a haven of tranquil beauty nestled in Portland's Washington Park. The 5.5 -acre garden includes meandering streams, intimate walkways, a traditional Japanese pavilion, and an unsurpassed view of Mt. Hood. Open year-round.
Audubon Society of Portland's mission was solidified in 1902, when a few like-minded conservationists came together to found the organization. In their own words, this group set out "to use any and all lawful means for the protection of the wild birds and animals for the State of Oregon and elsewhere."
Their first success came quickly, when the Society helped pass the Model Bird Law in 1903, which protected native birds from being shot and sold. Since then, the Society has advocated for countless creatures, from northern spotted owls to wild salmon, the latter of which kind of look like birds if you squint really hard.
Today, the Society stands more than 14,000 strong. The support of these members helps maintain nature sanctuaries with hiking trails, fund educational initiatives, and run a care center. The care center is an especially vital resources, as it rehabilitates approximately 3,000 animals every year and responds to thousands of wildlife-related injuries.
