Bell Pepper Chicken
There are three main elements to Chinese cooking: color, aroma, and taste, or in Chinese 色香味. Color is very important as food is supposed to appeal visually to the eyes, and hence stimulates one's appetite. When I was making this bell pepper chicken, I made sure that I incorporated the element of color into this dish, and used both green and red bell peppers to accompany the chicken meat to bring out the beautiful color of the dish.
Anyway, I often make bell pepper chicken for my family. The reason is simple: it is bursting with the aroma and peppery flavor of the bell peppers and the light sauce pairs well with the chicken (click for more recipes using chicken). I also like to add some fresh button mushrooms for an extra layer of taste to this recipe.
Anyone can attempt this bell pepper chicken recipe at home as it calls for everyday ingredients that you can get at any stores or market. Plus the recipe is very versatile and you can use the protein of your choice: beef, pork, shrimp, or fish fillet. For the mushroom, I like fresh button mushroom but you can also use shiitake mushroom or canned mushroom. It is your personal preference.
Now, feast your eyes with the colorful gallery I have above. Bon appetit!

wahhh benar-benar menggoda selera,, hmm,,
This is super duper easy. These days I need dishes like this as I find I'm getting pretty tired after a long day at work. Makes it easier. Thanks!
Made this last night for dinner, but doubled the recipe since I was serving a family of five. It turned out really really well! I was surprised since I didn't think the sauce would be enough. The chicken was juicy and while my husband complained it wasn't spicy enough, (orang Melayu, they want everything to be loaded with chili hehe) I was thrilled my three kids ate it up. Thanks again!
P.S. please consider adding more traditional Malay recipes since they are definitely a family favorite.
my mom is under medicatation and has lost a bit of taste on food.But after I cooked BELL PEPPER CHICKEN. she commented good and nice and ate more rice than usual yesterday.thanks for this recipe, it had helped me.
BELL PEPPER CHICKEN is a great recipe! Simple but delicious! Greetings from Romania – Europe!
Gorgeous and nutritious meal! This is an easy and tasty recipe to put together any night of the week!
What a wonderful and healthy meal… Love the simplicity of the recipe with beautiful colors…
hey this dish is just like mexican fajitas. yet it is still good.
This is really good…
Hi! This may seem like a stupid question but what do you mean by "5 slices of Ginger"? I'm sorry… I'm a complete beginner… BTW I just love your website! :)
I was just wondering how big the slices were supposed to be- will figure it out. Thank you for writing back. :)
I just made Pepper Chicken for the first time last night. Wow! So incredibly EASY to prepare–took 15 minutes to prepare marinade and the sauce. The aroma from the marinating chicken alone was delicious; the finished product smelled, looked and tasted like a dish from a Chinese Restaurant. My only suggestion would be to mince the ginger root. It was not good to bite into a ginger slice, too spicy. Otherwise I give this recipe A+++++

SigmaStorm 2
SigmaStorm 2 is a browser based Sci-Fi MMORPG where players explore the world via a grid map. Battle monsters or other players in quick, automated turn-based encounters. Chose from four classes as you struggle for dominance on the planet of Sigma!
Publisher: Hunted Cow Studios
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Low
Type: MMO
EXP Rate: Low
PvP: Open
Filesize: N/A
Pros: +High level cap. +Plenty of missions. +Earn rewards for referring players. +Assemble items & trade with others.
Cons: -Repetitive gameplay. -Dated interface. -Limited player control over battles. -Slow paced progression.
SigmaStorm 2 Overview
SigmaStorm 2 is made by the same studio behind Fallen Sword, and the two games are very similar. Navigate through the world of Sigma using a gridded map, and earn experience by completing missions and defeating opponents. Combat take place on separate screens in short turn-based bouts that play out automatically. The interface does take some getting used, especially moving around the map, but SigmaStorm 2 does have a lot to offer for those who master the basics.
Mutant – Heavy radiation has warped the DNA of Mutants enabling them to rapidly regenerate their flesh, grow claws, powerful jaws, and tentacles.
Cyborg - A reinforced skeleton allows Cyborgs to attach various implants and weaponry directly to their bodies. Nano tech infused blood allows Cyborgs to dish out heavy damage.
Soldier - Intensive combat training has taught Soldiers how to use all types of firearms. Their combat suits provide maximum protection in the harsh environments of Sigma.
Purist - Mind over matter is the Purist mantra. The Psionic Sensitivity of a Purist's mind allows them to channel Psi power and use it to shield themselves and strike opponents.

SigmaStorm 2 Featured Video
SigmaStorm 2 Full Review
By, Erhan Altay
SigmaStorm 2 was released in 2008 by Hunted Cow Studios, the same team behind the widely popular Fallen Sword. While SigmaStorm is set in a futuristic setting of cyborgs and virtual reality, it has the same core mechanics as the fantasy themed Fallen Sword. Both games make use of a gridded world map that players travel through one tile at a time. Battles are turn based and daily progression is capped by energy which is consumed during combat or when participating in other activities. The open ended gameplay, multiple PvP options, and varied skill trees give dedicated players a lot to explore, but the dated interface makes SigmaStorm a difficult game to penetrate.
I've Got a Secret
The streamlined registration process in SigmaStorm 2 doesn't require email verification, but it does ask players to answer one of those 'secret questions.' This may prove useful in account or password recovery, provided players don't forget what they entered. After registration, new players are greeted by a welcome screen and a quickstart guide. SigmaStorm 2 has an old school interface that relies almost entirely on text and images. The game still functions just fine, but the interface can be daunting for new players. For this reason, it is well advised to read the starter guide carefully and follow through the 'orientation' mission line fully. The game does have a persistent world, but it must be navigated through by a very simplistic looking map. The player is represented by a square near the center of the map screen which is only visible on the 'world' page. Movement is done frame-by-frame in one of nine directions. Each step requires a page refresh that takes about a second. To access other parts of the interface such as the character sheet, inventory, skills menu or mission log, players must use the left-hand panel to load a separate page. This leads to a lot of back-and-forth which slows down gameplay.
Fighting on Auto Pilot
Battles in Sigmastorm 2 are turn based and can be activated against any other character or valid NPC target sharing a tile with the player. Monsters and other players are not directly visible on the map, but are instead shown to the right of the map screen under the 'location details' header. Some tiles will be empty, while others will have a long list of occupants. There's no practical limit on the number of targets per square. Players are free to attack one another in Sigmastorm, but would-be player killers can have bounties placed on their heads by their victims. This encourages bounty-hunters to go after murderers and helps strike a balance in the game's PvP environment. After selecting a target, a new combat screen opens up and takes place in turn-based fashion. But unlike AdventureQuest or other turn-based browser games, the battles in Sigmastorm play on automatically without further player input. Both parties take turns swinging at each other until one side is defeated. Battles are usually over very quickly, and most kill quests can be completed within minutes. Victory brings with it experience points, credits, and usually items. Missions and NPC loot both reward equipment that can be put on in the 'datasheet' screen. Before players leave the tutorial, they'll be armed with a weapon, and basic armor.
Energy Flux
The planet of Sigma is not a cheery place. The game has a post apocalyptic setting which compliments the free-for-all nature of the open PvP system. New players start out as classless 'clones', but once they earn skill points by completing missions, they can chose between four classes. The choices include Mutant, Cyborg, Soldier, and Purist. Each class has a large skill tree, and a fifth skill tree labeled 'core' is available to all classes. Skill points are mainly earned via missions, but players are also given several points every 50 levels. The level cap and experience rate in Sigmastorm 2 are both quite high. Besides skill points, players earn 2 'evolution' points each level which are basically stat points. These evolution points can be distributed among five stats: Attack, Defense, Armor, Damage, and HP. It will take a long time to play through all Sigmastorm 2 has to offer, but the game does have an internal mechanism for stunting progression. All actions require 'energy' which slowly regenerates every hour. There are other activities to keep players occupied beyond combat. The game has a crafting and trade system that allows players to act as merchants. Players can only craft items after acquiring the appropriate blueprint, like in Star Pirates and other MMORPGs. Some blueprints are rewarded for completing quests, others drop off monsters, and can be freely bought and sold at the trade hub. The gear and items players craft can also be sold in the Trade Hub for either credits, or the game's premium currency – Flux Crystals.
Flux Crystals play a versatile role in Sigmastorm 2. They can be used to instantly boost energy, and increase the maximum amount of energy a character can store. Players can even spend flux crystals to instantly gain experience, making it possible to hit max level with nothing but the credit card. These crystals can be purchased in various lumps, from as little as 25 for $5 to 400 for $60. The higher the amount, the greater the discount per crystal. There are other ways of earning flux crystals, mainly through referring other players. Hunted Cow Studios is very good at getting its users to use the referral system, who can forget all the Fallen Sword spam scattered across the internet a few years back. Nearly all browser games have some sort of referral system build in, and it does allow free players to make use of some of the shortcuts available to paying users. Players can also complete dozens of offers involving filling out surveys, signing up for free trials, and so on to turn crystals. The main problem with Sigmastorm is not the advantages it offers paying players, but the difficultly in getting acquainted with the game's interface. The browser gaming genre has evolved a lot in a few short years, and despite the futuristic theme, Sigmastorm 2 looks and plays like a game from a prior era.
Final Verdict: Fair
Sigmastorm 2 offers many of the features found in traditional MMORPGs, but the interface make navigation slow paced and, at times, frustrating. Player interaction is also stunted by the dated visuals. For gamers who can look beyond these aesthetic shortcomings, SigmaStorm 2 offers plenty of content to sift through.

Saginaw man on parole seeks state House seat
Jordan D. Haskins

June 27, 2014 | AP
A Saginaw man on parole after serving prison time is the lone Republican candidate in the November election for a state house seat serving the area.
Jordan D. Haskins tells The Saginaw News (http://bit.ly/1qigSB6 ) that he knows his criminal record works against him, but he says his life has changed.
The 24-year-old's cases include trespassing on private and public property in four cases from April 2010 to January 2011, when he was sent to prison. As part of the break-ins, he damaged vehicles as a way to facilitate what he told police was a sexual fetish.
The Democrat who currently holds the 95th District House seat that Haskins is seeking is running for state Senate. Haskins will face the Democrat who wins a primary in August.

Any comparison to Quartz right now would be dated. 10.6 has some pretty radical changes coming under the hood.
I have no idea what "all move around together" means, other than that I need to stop posting before the coffee kicks in.
The first thing to realize is that what is fundamental to a complete compiz (or any other compositing manager) is full COMPOSITE extension support for *all* parts of the driver. That is why the application is called compiz, and they are called compositing managers.
When COMPOSITE is enabled, applications are expected to render to an off-screen window surface. The compositing manager can then rendezvous with these offscreen surfaces and combine them in any way that they want.
The *all* parts of the driver includes 2D, 3D an video. 2D is easy, for example, XAA falls back to SW. Xv has some information in the callbacks for the buffer to render to, but then comes 3D. 3D currently renders to where it believes the window _should be_. This means it renders to the pixels on the screen, then compiz renders, then the 3D app renders. When you apply the transforms like the cube and wobbly windows, the app doesn't get new window information until after the transform is complete. The transform itself quite happily renders a blank window (assuming that the contents come from the app).
AIGLX is technically not required for compiz, but for DRI based drivers, it is the simplest path for getting the window contents into an OpenGL texture.
Now with DRI in it's current form, getting this buffer (or redirect buffer as some call it) is very difficult (but not impossible) to achieve.
DRI2 includes sufficient infrastructure to make this possible, an advance memory manager (GEM, TTM, etc) is also needed to allow buffer information to be shared throughout the driver.
(I believe that "Following the Window around" means that GL application is included in the wobbly windows or cube rotation. This is the user-experience - beyond the pixel fighting that occurs between GL and compiz - sometimes called flashing. The redirected direct rendering does push the rendere content into the window. Due to the confusion brought in by redirected direct rendering vs hw accelerated indirect rendering I tend to use the term OpenGL support for COMPOSITE when talking about this.
Ahh yes, that's what I meant
another feature that Phoronix could delve into is "resolution independence". Both OS X and Windows have been improving this feature in recent releases. What is the current state of resolution independence in X.org applications?

The whole point of open source is sharing development cost in exchange of shared IP... Why on earth would you open your code, but not work with others?
"Since starting the company about a year ago, Mr. Hurmola said Jolla has been working hard to make its Sailfish operating system capable of working on different types of devices, including smartphones, touch-screen tablets and televisions. Another benefit with the MeeGo-based software is that it won't require the same high-end and costly hardware needed to run the latest versions of Android or Windows Phone."
Jolla Sailfish is benefiting from an infusion of 200 million Euros. I expect it will soon be a viable option to Google & Apple devices, and that it's just a question of time before it surpasses them. Establishing the Hong Kong Headquarters is a brilliant move.
All the code is open and aside from the kernel under BSD, so the Chinese OEMs can crank all the Android tablets & phones they want, without paying Google & releasing their changes (as they seem to mostly ignore the GPL requirements for kernell changes anyway).
If you want to get the whole experience - Google apps & Google play, you have join the Open Handset Alliance and play by Googles rules.
The end result is the same though - more Android compatible devices, with Google as the default search engine, support for showing ads in applications and using Googles services. And all this with closed development cycle & open code.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It was one of those calls you wish could be frozen in time. The words aren't as important as the excitement they engender. Our oldest grandson, heading to middle school next year, had just received a President's Award at his graduation ceremony. He's not yet old enough to be cool, so you could hear the excitement in his voice as he talked. I swear I could hear him smile and it didn't take much imagination to picture the crooked grin on his face as we were speaking. Next came his brother who dutifully reported his "boring" grades. I was thrilled, not by the grades, but by the measured and balanced way in which these two special guys have achieved their personal best. It was a blue ribbon day for the boys and their parents. Kudos and kisses for all. You get to stay in the will.
The developer of this buttermilk cluster also deserves a blue ribbon. Excellence should be recognized in all pursuits and this recipe is a winner. It's a great place to start our buttermilk bonanza - the bonanza being a series of recipes that will expose you to more buttermilk than you ever dreamed existed. If you are looking for a soft and delicious roll for large gatherings, this recipe has your name on it. The rolls are easy to make and when served warm from the oven they'll enhance your reputation as a cook and hostess. The recipe is one of the many standouts from the book Country Breads of the World. The only alteration I've made was to increase amount of buttermilk and honey called for in the original recipe. I also used blue poppy seeds as the topping for my rolls. Yes, these seeds do come from the opium poppy, but - and it is a big but - the seeds that are bought and sold come from mature capsules that no longer contain narcotic substance. Only unripe seed capsules contain the milky substance from which opium is extracted. Having said that, do not eat foods that contain or are sprinkled with poppy seeds before taking a drug test. False positive results have been reported and there's no reason to beg trouble that can be avoided. The blue poppy seeds used in baking are minuscule kidney shaped gems that impart a sweet nutty flavor to breads, cakes and pastries. They are very popular in European cooking and, while their primary use is for baking, the seeds can also be crushed to extract their flavorful oil. If poppy seeds put you off, use sesame seeds or serve the cluster without a topping. Here's the recipe for truly outstanding dinner rolls; they're just waiting for you to pull them apart.
Buttermilk Cluster with Blue Poppy Seeds...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 tablespoons salt
2-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon lukewarm water
2 cups warm buttermilk
2 tablespoons honey
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water
1 to 2 tablespoons seeds (poppy, sesame) or grains (cracked wheat, wheat bran, rolled oats)
1) Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Combine warm water and yeast in a small cup and allow to proof for 10 minutes.
2) Pour yeast, buttermilk, and honey into flour mixture and mix well. If dough is so dry that some of flour won't stick, add a bit more buttermilk or water. If the dough is too sticky to knead, more like a batter, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until correct consistency is achieved.
3) Knead by machine or hand for approximately 10 minutes. Return dough to bowl, cover, and set aside to rise until dough has doubled in size, approximately 90 minutes.
4) Divide dough into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a neat ball and place in a 12-inch round dish or a 12-inch spring-form pan close together. Cover again with plastic wrap or a damp towel and set aside to rise again for 45 minutes to an hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
5) Uncover rolls and brush gently with egg wash. Sprinkle with seeds or grains, if using. Bake for 30 minutes, or until are firm and spring back when tapped. Transfer to a rack and cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm if possible. Yield: 16 rolls.

On September 15, 2004, the existing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) expired. Because the two sides had failed to negotiate a new CBA by that date, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman locked out the players--no hockey would be played, no revenues would be collected, and no salaries would be paid. The key issues in the negotiation were the league's demand for a salary cap and for the linking of salaries to league revenues. The players opposed both of these demands. After months of near-fruitless negotiation, Bettman threatened to cancel the entire season, a move that would destroy billions in revenue. Provides a rich history of the two sides' relationship and an account of the negotiations that led up to the season cancellation threat. Asks students to analyze the power tactics that each side has used to its advantage in prior negotiations and to propose strategies that might help either side pull off a successful negotiation in the current context, which involves entrenched positions, complex issues, and severe distrust.
learning objective:
To illustrate power moves, interest-based negotiations, issues of trust, etc., in the context of a high-stakes dispute.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Mobile Design Pattern: Specifying or Detecting Location

[[Category:Mobile Design Patterns]]
Latest revision as of 06:06, 16 April 2012
This design pattern is part of the Mobile Design Patterns series.
[edit] Description
A means of prompting the user to specify their location and/or auto-detect and display it (typically using GPS or triangulation).
[edit] Use when
- When location is required to perform a search and/or display contextual options or content.
[edit] Advantages
- Minimizes text input within location based applications.
[edit] Disadvantages
- Can impact privacy if poorly implemented.
[edit] Use how
There are many ways to elicit location information from users. They key to a great experience is to combine practicality with privacy by eliciting location as little as possible and providing users with full control over any auto-detection that occurs. As such, this is not so much a pattern as a series of patterns and approaches which can be combined when designing location based services.
[edit] a. Show 'My location/position'
What: Enables users to request their location at any time. Once detected, the location is stored and can be recalled as needed to complete tasks.
Use when: Use within applications where location is regularly required to complete tasks. Ex. Mapping applications, local search. Can be a useful complement to 'auto-detect settings'
Use how:
- Provide a 'My location' command within the Options menu.
- Indicate the location on the map using an icon or easily distinguishable marker.
- If the exact location cannot be determined, provide a more generic indicator covering the closest discernable area. Many mapping applications use a small, bright circle to indicate exact position and a larger, semi-transparent one to indicate approximate location.
Figure: Location markers don't have to be boring—especially if accurate navigation is not the goal of the application as seen in Nokia VINE.
[edit] b. Automatic location-detection settings
What: A global (application-wide) setting that enables users to turn location-detection on or off. i.e. to reduce data costs when roaming or for privacy reasons.
Use when: Use within applications that make continuous use of location. Ex. Mapping applications, 'friend finder' social applications, local search. Can also be used in conjunction with 'My location' prompts.
Use how:
- Provide an easily discoverable option to enable or disable automatic location detection.
- Where possible, provide an on-screen indicator of location-detection status (i.e. on or off) as a reminder.
Figure: Nokia Maps provides a 'Turn positioning off' command.
[edit] c. 'Specify/add location' prompts
What: A prompt asking the user to manually specify location. The location is then saved and reused throughout the application as needed. It is also paired with a 'change' prompt allowing the user to change the globally saved location if needed.
Use when:
- When it is not practical or feasible to auto-detect location.
- When it is anticipated that users may want to interact with multiple recurring locations. Ex. Home, work, vacation destination.
Use how:
- Provide an input field or menu enabling the user to specify (or search for) their location. Where possible, provide hints to clarify what type of data is acceptable. i.e. country, city, postcode.
- If the user input is vague, clarify the value by providing a list of possible matching locations. i.e. 'Did you mean: London, UK or London, Canada'.
- Save the confirmed location and make use of it whenever location is required to complete an action.
- Whenever the location is displayed, provide a 'change location' prompt enabling the user to input a different location.
- If possible, save recently input locations and provide a selectable list of these next time the user accesses the 'change location' view.
- Finally, provide a location management view to enable users to delete old or obsolete locations.
Figure: Lastminute.com's fonefood enables users to specify then change their location.
Tip: Not all location applications require high location granularity. Consider auto-detecting the city or country if this information is useful and available. This information does not typically constitute a privacy risk so asking the user beforehand is not required and they will appreciate not having to input this obvious information. Do consider however that users may be from one city but visiting a different location in the future. Their current location may not always be the one that is relevant to their current task.

Will Milton's new fire station get the green light?
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Later this month, according to Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique, an informational meeting will be held to give the public a chance to learn about the rationale for building a new fire station in Milton at a maximum cost of $2.69 million.
The arguments for a new fire station, however, are compelling, and these have been made, almost annually to the voters of Milton since 2007. This year, however, the push for a new fire station is more organized, in that it has done more groundwork and involved more people in committee discussions than in previous years, and as a consequence, we assess that it has picked up more support.
Heartening for new fire station supporters, also, is the fact the Milton voters, last year, approved $30,000 for a building design to fit that location — a conceptual design that we ran on the front page of the Rochester Times, last week.
We can appreciate and empathize with those people in town, who are financially hard-pressed, not being won over by any argument in favor of a new fire station, because putting food in the table of their families has to be a priority — although these days, $1.82 (the weekly cost of the building on the average tax rate) scarcely buys half a gallon of milk.

The Good Ole Days
Just a bit of fun.
Probably minus the fun, though...
Not a great add, eh?
I am just looking to write a little fun fantasy story with you guys. You make the world, characters, enemies, plot, relasionships, magic system, etc.
I'm only going to give you one sentence for background: It's a medievil-based world. We begin in one country - Knights and Nobles, y'know? - but heck, we might go to another, a more asian culture, or Middle Eastern, etc.
There are two rules.
Maximum of ten sentences per post.
No portal-fantasy. It makes me ill. No sneakily slipping in portals either, through magic, voids, mirrors, black holes, explosions, alchemy, MEGASUPERDEMONS or DUST. Thanks.
I feel classic and I hope to cater to other people... feeling classic.
December 1st, 2010, 09:03 AM #2
The Giant Macro-Super Demon slipped through a black hole quasar magic portal using the Dust of Infinity.
Just kidding. Sounds like a cool idea, sort of King Arthur-ish? A little more back ground, parameters, like.
December 1st, 2010, 10:55 AM #3
Few... Yes, like King Arthur I suppose. I'm trying to hold back from giving any kind of overview because I hoped we could create loations, characters and relasionships as we went along. But okay, I'll start.
The road stretched out before him as one may stretch a carpet before Royalty. That thought cheered him a little, yes, he would have to pretend it was his road, all his. It would make the long walk to Hucken somehow easier.
The bandits had left him with the clothes on his back, thankfully. It was odd how all the fancy moves and witty words he could have reigned down upon them only entered his head when they were miles in the other direction. They had taken his horse, his coin purse, his blankets, and his traveling bag. Even if he reached the small town, he had no way to pay for a room, and he knew no one there.
Nor could anyone know him, or they would send him right back to his Lord. He would face the penalty for his dessertion.

Tahl stopped to rub his blistered feet and pondered his precarious position. How could this have happened? A fortnight ago he was first advisor to the most powerful Duke in Loimir. At least he had his coin back. Two nights prior he came upon the bandits who had stripped him of his last shred of dignity. During their first encounter he was caught unaware. This time however the advantage was his as the bandits stumbled about drunk and rutting with the local harlots. Tahl quickly summoned Kieth and whispered words of power as he drew the rune bow and fired. A hundred arrows flew with frightening speed and detonated on impact. Moments later the bandits lay sprawled across the ground. What was left of them that is. Tahl quickly retrieved his coin purse and a bit of his pride.
Sorry twelve sentences!!

So, all was not lost. Tahl had regained his meager possessions, but now had the additional problem of the City Watch searching the high roads for him. Never mind that he had killed oathbreakers and outlaws, only that the local sheriff had lost face by allowing such a wanton massacre to occur under in his county.
He once again rubbed his feet and contemplated the journey ahead of him. With the main roads denied him, the only option was the fringes of wilderness and all the dangers that accompanied it. There had been scattered rumours of were-beasts in the forests, and a quick glance overhead revealed that the moon was full and bright. It was not a night to brave the canopy-darkened hunting trails, but these were times of circumstance and not choice. With a weary sigh, Tahl pulled himself to his feet and vanished into the shadows.
December 3rd, 2010, 09:11 PM #6
As his feet crumpled leaves he felt a cold breeze against his shoulder. He flinched, despite having felt it a thousand times over since he was a small boy.
Kieth's voice was around him like an echo, like the wind itself. "Are you afraid of me once more?" He sounded amused.
"Hardly." Tahl grumbled. He had, at one time, been afraid of the Demon - if a demon was what Kieth was - but he had a bond to him, which meant every day of his life had been with Kieth now. He found it difficult to fear him once he learned he could control him. "Your arrows are all very well, but why can't you be useful? Can't you shapeshift?"
"Might be."
"A horse would be helpful."
"I would prefer to see you take these trails and be ripped limb from limb, sire." The demon rasped the word 'sire' with clear patronization, though he had no choice. His bond was to obey the young Advisor, however much he hated doing so.
Ahh well. xD Such a rebel.

Duke Syat Methos of Loimir was in a foul mood. Three weeks and no sign of Tahl. The Duke's men scoured the land only to find the remains of some worthless rabble. Tahl must be found. The story of desertion quieted the other Dukes but every moment Tahl was alive was a threat to his plans. Summoners were a thing of myth. No summoner had been found in over 500 years. To think such power sat right next to him! Only Syat knew the true extent of Tahl's gift. Such power should not belong to a mere advisor and Syat would have it no matter what the cost.

The click of loosening wood echoed through the room. There was only one who would enter his chamber without knocking, and that was not his wife, but rather Lorne, her red hair trailing behind her with her skirts. Her mood was none better than his own.
"No sign of him yet, then? Terrible shame." She mused, speaking far too quickly and with a dry hope rather than concern.
"I am in no mood, Lorne." The Duke stated. He did not turn from the window, where he had been sat watching for nothing in particular.
Lorne had once been a Court Mage, a feared one in fact, honoured by every tutor she had ever had and destined for the position of Oracle, the sole person who whispered secrets into a King's ear. However, she had given it up for the Duke as his 'plans' showed more... ambition. She had wanted to help him, and he... he had chosen Tahl over her. Oh, she was in fashion, until they had to go and find a bloody summoner of all things.
"I hope that bloody demon of his torched him." She smiled. "Not that I'm bitter. No.. Of course not. Though, I have right to be - I have more power than him in-"
"When you are in my prescence you will speak like a Lady. If I am to have you held at my court, dressed, bathed, you will do me that small honour." His words were stern, and he finally turned. "What is it you want, Lorne?"
Oops... Lots more. I'm just into it. =[

From his hidden vantage point Tahl sat quietly, observing the mysterious old man mumble to himself as he returned from the river. That the man was crazy there was no doubt. What he was doing in the middle of the Bonewood Forest was another matter. To wander the Bonewood with company was dangerous. To travel through this ancient wilderness alone was suicide. But what other choice did he have? Three altercations with the Diriit-Tu, the Dukes trained assassins, had forced this mad dash into nowhere. Even more curious was how he managed to survive these encounters. The Diriit-Tu never missed a target. The Duke wanted him back that much was clear.
"Are you going to sit there all day young fool?" a voice whispered.
Tahl jumped and turned to see the disheveled old man starting down at him.

Tahl nearly stumbled as he tried to get to his feet, backing away from the half-shadowed figure. "How did you get there-? You were.." He looked back to the river, but sure enough no one and nothing was there. He had gotten caught up in his thoughts again.
"It's all in the perception, my foolish friend." The old man gave a gap-toothed chuckle, then, quick as anything, his face was blank again.
Tahl raised a brow. "I am the fool, am I? Traveling the Bonewood alone? What would make a man do that?"
In answer, the old man looked left and right and simply gestured at them. Tahl could not argue, he was alone too. He opened his mouth to speak but the man spoke for him. "This is my home. Many men freely wonder their home."

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Tristan Harris Sunday 23 December 2012 Updated: 03/01 17:08
A PACKED out and very vociferous audience at Bromsgrove's Artrix got well and truly into the Christmas spirit on the final night of All and Sundry's annual pantomime, which this year was Sinbad the Sailor.
It was another near perfect performance from the Bromsgrove and Redditch group with solid portrayals from every member of the cast.
Every good panto needs an excellent dame and Mark Clayton was exactly that. As Dame Drachma, he was richly raucous (as all dames should be) and built up a fantastic rapport with the audience.
Another character to get the crowd going was Ali Drachma, played impeccably by Dave Berrisford. He led the chanting and foot-stamping and ensured the piece had copious amounts of audience participation.
Mike Richardson as the landlord and James Ralley as the Vizier added the all-important evil elements and there were some fantastic comedy moments from Emma Hay as side-kick Kumquat, Terry Cooper-Day as Fairy Bold / Surf / Daz and Max Ponsonby as the Bosun.
Among the musical highlights were the solos from Arali McGrath, as Princess Jasmine, in Act One and the duet between her and Sinbad.
There were also plenty of well-known classics that the audience could join in with and singalong to.
The diverse number of dance routines, thanks to The Stage Door Dance Academy, and another great set also added to a fantastic feast of festive family fun and entertainment.
But the highlight of the evening was the scene 'Under the Sea' when UV special effects, luminous fishes and costumes, dancers and puppeteers provided a breath-taking piece of theatre in itself.
It is not hard to see why the audience figures for Artrix's All and Sundry panto are going up and up year-on-year.
The show had everything and the group, excelling itself yet again, took the audience on another amazing voyage.

Using the Nokia IDE for Java ME features
With the plug-in installed and the NokiaDevEnv perspective open you can use the tools of the Nokia IDE for Java ME in exactly the same way you would in a standalone installation of the IDE. For a quick guide to the features of the IDE, view the Introduction to Nokia IDE for Java ME video (remembering that you don't have the Nokia welcome screen) or visit the Getting Started with Nokia IDE for Java ME section of the Nokia Developer website.
If the download of the Nokia IDE for Java plug-in times out, try increasing the timeout values in the eclipse.ini:
For more information see the Eclipse Transport Debugging help documentation.
(Please note that adjusting the timeout options to resolve this type of issue hasn't been tested.)
