Champs to chumps in three sorry days
England 192 & 160 Pakistan 338 & 15-0 (Pakistan won by 10 wickets): World's No 1 Test side have failings exposed in 10-wicket defeat by revitalised Pakistan

On balance, England did not play as well as they might have done in the first Test. In deference to their status it is important to avoid reckless criticism. So being as fair and courteous as due respect requires, their batsmen were utterly hopeless.
The sequence of poor shot selection was breathtaking, the manner in which they allowed the Pakistan bowlers to expose their methods and erode their souls was astonishing. The failure to cope with their opponents' spinners, or eventually, their leading fast bowler, was inexplicable.
The lack of application in both innings on a pitch that demanded it in spades was an abrogation of professional duty. Apart from those shortcomings, they looked exactly like the best team in the world. They deserved to be defeated by 10 wickets on the third day of a match that was confidently expected to go the distance. Much had been reported about Pakistan's road to redemption before this series began. Not only squeaky clean again, they were also a renewed force as cricketers. But then their opposition had been pretty timid. This would be a true examination of their credentials. It is looking good so far.
England were well aware that this series in unfamiliar surroundings would be arduous and would need incessant concentration and attention to detail at the crease. Whether through fear of the unknown or a simple inability to meet the requirements of alien conditions, they flopped. In the litany of disaster that followed after England eventually bowled out Pakistan for 338 yesterday, it is difficult to single out any one of the vaunted top six for particular blame. Almost all of them were careless, slipshod or incompetent. Four of the top five made 39 runs between them over the two innings.
However, Kevin Pietersen's top-edged hook shot against a short ball from Umar Gul, the eighth he had faced, would be fairly high on the charge sheet. To be out in such a manner on this pitch with the side already up against it at 25 for 2, and before you had scored, defied reason and as he strode off Pietersen knew it. But there is plenty of room on the indictment for others. England needed 146 to make Pakistan bat again when they started their second innings. It took rather longer than they might have wanted, an extra 49 runs being added by the last three wickets in the first hour of the day but now was the time for England to show their calibre.
Trouble loomed early when their captain Andrew Strauss departed to a contentious catch behind. Given out by umpire Billy Bowden for an alleged faint touch down the leg side against Gul, he asked for a review. The replays showed that maybe he did and maybe he didn't but in cases where it is inconclusive the umpire's decision has to be upheld. In fairness to Strauss, he probably did not hit it, but equally he might have left well alone. Cook, the form man before this match, appeared to learn precisely nothing from this dismissal. There was to be no review after he helped round another short ball from Gul to Adnan Akmal.
For reasons unknown, England have been badly affected by so-called leg side strangles from the start of this tour. They are throttling themselves. Pietersen's gross error of judgement was followed by another by Ian Bell.
Before this Test, there was a solid case for Bell being considered the best batsman in the world, whatever the rankings say. But for the second time in three days he was fooled by Saeed Ajmal's doosra playing down Bakerloo when the ball was on Jubilee. His request for a review was daft.
There followed a minor recovery, if that is not a complete misnomer in the context of this calamity, as Jonathan Trott and Eoin Morgan played with some style, freedom and determination. It lasted until the 34th over of the innings when Morgan was undone by a straight ball from the left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman.
The number of batsmen who were brought down by balls that have not turned in this match is extremely worrying for the rest of the series. When it starts to turn, England could be in real bother. Trott played well for his 49 but his downfall made him quite as culpable as his pals back in the dressing room. By now Gul was reverse swinging the ball but that had nothing to do with the excruciating way in which he went after a short, wide ball and slashed it behind.
Matt Prior, first-innings hero, was lbw to a ball from Ajmal that actually turned a fraction and kept fatally low. What followed was some jauntiness in the afternoon sunshine, utterly meaningless in terms of the performance or the outcome. Stuart Broad hung around a while but was caught at long on, Chris Tremlett put Rehman on a hat-trick, Graeme Swann was the last man out, poking Ajmal to cover.
It was Ajmal's 10th wicket, making him the third Pakistan bowler to take 10 wickets against England in a Test. Swann made 39, exactly the number of runs that Strauss, Cook, Pietersen and Bell made together in both innings.
Pakistan added 50 precious runs in the morning after England took an early wicket but were kept waiting for the final two. It offered them insurance. It was a premium they barely needed to pay.

? for oddie
oddie would you share you directions for your bed spring angel? She is sooo beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you! and I will try, head is a styrfoam ball with lots of coats of gesso, halo is that silver wire with stars hooked to it, cut the stars off and shaped a circle with some wire hanging down to stick in ball, covered the wire with a stick on snowflake, spring is spray painted silver with some white dimensional paint put on here and there to look like snow, before I glue the head to the spring I use some sort of ribbon folded in half and glue over the top of the spring so half is out and looks like a collar of some sort, also gives the head a little something extra to glue too,I use e600 and hot glue to put the head on and attach it to the collar pushing down on the head and spring as hard as I can, till the hot glue grabs ahold, wings are two bows wired together in the middle, with the longer ribbons that hangs wired also,I just played around with the bows till it looked nice to me then glued it to the top of the spring at the back of the head on the collar, glued a peice of costume jewerly to the bow, was a pin I think, tied on a silver heart charm on the spring in front for some added bling, oh nose was made from salt dough, eyes are dimensional paint, I use blush for rosey cheeks put on with a qtip, I use a fine black marker for mouth and eyebrows, when completey done I use the white dimensional paint on the nose and around where the collar and head meet to cover up any glue, look like they have been out in the snow for awhile LOL! oh gosh hope I have helped you, please post photos for us!
you are welcome! forgot to tell you that the frist snow angel I made, I did useing a old white lace curtin, mostly done the same, used that moss stuff and formed a halo ( cant think what its called ) also I used a glue cap for the nose ( before I started makeing them from salt dough ) just added the dimensional paint to the end to cover hole and added some down the nose like the snow had built up.
please post your photos when you can always love seeing what other crafters come up with!

Inside of many hockey players is a frustrated golfer. Or you would think that based on the number of players who hit the links in their spare time.
In their first 25 years of existence, the Buffalo Sabres did their part to bolster the hockey-golf connection, with the team regularly scheduling tee times in mid-to-late April as a result of early elimination from the playoffs, or, less regularly, due simply to a failure to make the post-season party.
The Sabres of recent vintage have had a little less time to enjoy the great outdoors, given their extended playoff runs in 4 of the past 5 post-seasons. That run of good fortune will come to an end this year, however, as the club will find itself in the uncustomary position of missing the playoffs altogether. A late-season surge by the Sabres was simply not enough to overcome a season of mediocre (or worse) performances, with the team officially being eliminated in the final week of the 01-02 season.
Perhaps as a show of solidarity, the majority of Buffalo's North American prospects have hung up their skates for the summer, as well. The golf courses of North America will seemingly be littered with hockey players and coaches who list the Sabres as their employer or affiliate.
For starters, the Sabres' minor league club, the Rochester Americans, barely got their undergarments wet, as they q Read more»

This is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 06/751,813 filed on July 5, 1985, now abandoned.
This invention relates to the problems associated with mounting an integrated circuit or transfer onto a printed circuit board in such a way as to adequately secure the integrated circuit to the board, make an adequate electrical connection to the contacts on the circuit board and make sufficient contact with a heat sink device for heat dissipation purposes.
Devices for securing similar circuitry to circuit boards are described in some of the following U.S. Patents.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,259,685 to Romano; "Clamp for Securing an Encased Power Frame to a Heat Sink", a heat sink clamp is disclosed for maintaining an integrated circuit flat against the base to which the circuit is mounted.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,054,901 to Edwards et al.; "Index Mounting Unitary Heat Sink Apparatus with Apertured Base", a unitary heat sink is disclosed for maintaining the integrated circuit body flat against the heat sink base.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,288,839 to Prager et al.; "Solid State Device Mounting and Heat Dissipating Assembly", a retaining device is disclosed upon which a solid state device is positioned. Incorporated in this securing means is heat dissipating means. This is more distinctly shown in FIG. 3.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,519,889 to Monaco; "Assembly with Transistor Heat Dissipation", a clip is disclosed to mount the transistor to a body which is composed of heat sink material.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,548,927 to Spurling; "Heat Dissipating Retainer for Electronic Component", a resilient clip is disclosed which is designed to be attached to a heat sink member.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,893,161 to Pesak; "Frictionally Engageable Heat Sink for Solid State Devices", a heat sink for solid state devices is disclosed to frictionally engage the solid state device.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,641,474 to Owens; "Semiconductor Mounting Structure", a capsule is disclosed for mounting a semiconductor device in such a fashion to allow the leads of the semiconductor device to be inserted into a connector socket and the semiconductor device along with the capsule to be affixed to a heat dissipating metal plate attached to a circuit board.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,874 to Stefani; "Isolation Mounting for Semiconductor Device", an isolation mounting is disclosed for semiconductor device to fasten the semiconductor against an insulator and thereafter a heat sink plate.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,361 to McCarthy; "Winged Self-Fastened Heat Sinks for Semiconductor Devices", a one-piece sheet metal heat sink is disclosed with internal fingers to engage and hold the semiconductor device.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,694,703 to Wilens et al.; "Heat Dissipator for Encased Semiconductor Device Having Heat Tab Extending Therefrom", a heat dissipator is disclosed to encase a semiconductor device, the dissipator being made of a stamped sheet metal body with a slot to engage the heat conductive tab on the semiconductor device.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,786,317 to Thierfelder; "Microelectronic Circuit Package", a mounting mechanism to isolate the semiconductor device from applied stress is disclosed.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,213,324 to McAdam; "Variable Cooler Unit", shows one of many available heat sinks.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,100,566 to Okikawa; "Resin-Sealed Type Semiconductor Devices and Manufacturing Method of the Same", a resin-sealed semiconductor device is disclosed which has a heat dissipating plate mounted on a mounting plate with means to prevent occurrence of cracks in the resin portion.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,253 to Yoshimura; "Single In-Line High Power ResinPackaged Semiconductor Device Having an Improved Heat Dissipator", illustrates another type of heat dissipation fin-type device.
The subject heat sink was modified to its present configuration to increase disspation of the heat generated by the semiconductor device and to ease assembly.
When semiconductor devices requiring heat sinks are assembled, labor intensive hand operations are required. In addition, since semiconductor devices requiring heat sinks obviously generate large amounts of heat, testing, in addition to the normal production operational checks, must be done to assure that the heat sinks and semiconductor devices are properly mounted onto the circuit boards. The use of extreme testing conditions requires that the heat dissipation be adequate enough not only to handle the normal running conditions of the circuit, but also to handle the greater than normal heat conditions encountered during testing. In addition, labor intensive devices not only slow down the assembly process of the entire circuit board, but increase the cost of manufacturing and increase the likelihood that the circuit board and/or semiconductor device will be mishandled or dropped, thereby weakening the connections mechanically or electrically.
Therefore, it is an object of the subject invention to provide a heat dissipation means for a circuit board mounted semiconductor device which provides adequate dissipation for heat generated by the device during circuit operating conditions and testing conditions.
It is a further object of the subject invention to provide a heat sink for a semiconductor device which will minimize manual assembly onto the circuit board during the manufacturing process.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a heat sink for a semiconductor device with an efficient heat transfer between the semiconductor device and the surfaces of the heat sink and the circuit board.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a heat sink which will allow for the firm affixation of the semiconductor device and the heat sink to the circuit board without disturbing the die bond of the semiconductor device.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, the appended claims and in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus and method of attachment of a heat sink to a circuit board and to a semiconductor device, utilizing conventional methods.
FIG. 2 is an isometric cut-away view of the heat sink assembly and semiconductor device of the subject invention showing the parts in an assembled condition;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the assembly illustrated in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an isometric exploded view illustrating all of the parts involved in the subject invention including the connection means to the circuit board;
FIG. 5 is the sectional view of the assembly from FIG. 3 shown affixed and soldered to the circuit board;
FIG. 6 is an alternative embodiment showing the heat sink assembly of the subject invention attached with conventional methods.
Referring to FIG. 1, a unitary heat sink 20 is shown attached to a semiconductor device 22 and to a circuit board 24 by means of a conventional rivet 26.
The semiconductor device 22 comprises electrical leads 28, a resin-sealed body 30 which encapsulates the electronic integrated circuit or transistor, and conductive tab 32.
The lower flange member 19 has an anti-rotation hole 29. The hole 29 accepts a locating pin on the assembly tooling (not shown) which engages the antirotation hole when a rivet 26 or screw 27 (with nut 25) is inserted and affixed, sandwiching the conductive tab 32 to the heat sink 20 in FIG. 1, 19 and 21 in FIGS. 2-7. The engagement of the locating pin with the hole 29 and communication with semiconductor device 22 exists during the process of securing the rivet 26 or screw 27 (with nut 25) thereby preventing rotation of the heat sink members 19 and 21 and seimconductor device 22.
Not only is the above operation labor intensive, but it also could create some potential for disturbing the die bond of the conductive tab 32 to the electronic device encapsulated in the resin-sealed body 30. This possibility might occur in the following way. When the rivet 26 is inserted and affixed, sandwiching the conductive tab 32 and the heat sink 20 to the circuit board 24, the conductive tab 32 would take on the shape of the heat sink 20. In other words, if the heat sink 20 were not flat or if it were of such material as to allow warpage, the conductive tab 32 might warp, possibly disturbing the die bond of the semiconductor device 22 encapsulated by the resin-sealed body 30. This would increase the possibility of an intermittent connection.
To eliminate this possibility, the heat sink 20 was made in two pieces 19 and 21. This is shown in FIG. 2.
Upper heat sink member 21 has two flanges, upper flange 34 and lower flange 36. The purpose of the upper flange 34 is to make contact with the resin-sealed body 30 of the semiconductor device 22, thereby sandwiching the resin-sealed body 30 between the flange 34 and the lower heat sink member 19.
The purpose of the lower flange 36 is to provide communication between upper member 21 and conductive tab 32, sandwiching the conductive tab 32 between flange 36 and lower heat sink member 19. The secondary purpose of lower flange 36 is to provide a cushion between the rivet 26 or screw 27 and the conductive tab 32. This cushion effect will help prevent warpage of the conductive tab 32.
The assembly of FIG. 2 is shown in a sectional view in FIG. 3 showing the sandwiching effects of upper flange 34 and lower flange 36 onto resin-sealed body 30 and conductive tab 32. Also shown in FIG. 3 is the connection between the heat sink members 19 and 21 via flange 36 and screw 27 and nut 25. Note that nut 25, along with screw 27 is another embodiment of rivet 26. However, the use of nut 25 has another advantage which will be explained below.
Referring again to FIG. 1, rivet 26 affixes the heat sink and semiconductor device to circuit board 24. Previous attempts to rivet the semiconductor device 22 to the heat sink 20 separately and then hand insert the entire semiconductor device-heat sink assembly into the circuit board, creates the possibility that the only mechanical connection to circuit board 24 is via electrical leads 28 soldered to contacts 23 on circuit board 24. Due to the large amount of handling in the assembly process, the possibility to break the entire semiconductor device-heat sink assembly away from the circuit board 24 was increased. Therefore, the rivet 26 had to be inserted during the circuit board assembly process through board 26. This further increased the already labor intensive assembly process.
To circumvent this situation, a nut 25, in combination with a screw 27, was employed. The nut 25 is shown more graphically in FIG. 4. Here, in the exploded view, the parts are shown in their pre-assembly condition illustrating how they go together. Appreciate that this assembly can be made off-line, and inserted with other components into the circuit board 24's.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the value of nut 25 can now be further appreciated. The nut 25 communicates with circuit board 24 via plated through slot 40. Nut 25 is of such material composition so as to accept solder in the automatic soldering process already employed to solder other components including semiconductor device 22 via leads 28 to circuit board 24. Now, the semiconductor device-heat sink assembly, assembled off line, is hand inserted into circuit board 24 and wave soldered along with the rest of the hand inserted and machine inserted electronic components. The electrical connections formed with solder at contacts 23 and between nut 25 and plated through slot 40 are sufficient to hold the entire semiconductor device-heat sink assembly in place, as well as make the electrical connection required.
Referring now to FIG. 6, alternative embodiment showing the lower heat sink member 21 in sectional views. This figure illustrates the use of a conventional rivet 26. This embodiment is acceptable assuming that the rivet material will accept solder as the nut material 25 does. The heat sink may also be used with the attachment means shown in FIG. 1.
While the present invention has been disclosed in connection with the preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood that there may be other embodiments which fall within the spirit and scope of the invention and that the invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change without departing from the proper scope or fair meaning of the following claims.

Big Data
Genome research is one of several areas where the big-data tool Hadoop is proving itself. (Stock image)
Can the big-data tool Hadoop help rescue victims during the next big disaster, or steer health officials toward the cancer treatment that is a patient's best bet?
It's beginning to happen, according to Dante Ricci, director of federal innovation at SAP. Pre-packaged solutions based on Hadoop already exist that federal agencies (and state and local ones) could use to deliver critical insights from to researchers and emergency responders in real-time, he said.
"Hadoop is a powerful technology that can meet some of the needs of big data, but not all the different use cases of big data," Ricci said. "Government employees and citizens want a simple interface, but they don't have that combination of tools that allow end-users to search and understand the different capabilities in the data that are there for finding correlations."
For those still trying to wrap their head around big data, Hadoop is an even bigger enigma. Here's the (very) short version:
The Hadoop software framework allows the ability to work with massive amounts of unstructured data by spreading the load across a large number of servers. It is an open-source version of Google's MapReduce, which the search-engine giant developed for its own web-indexing and searching efforts.
Hadoop is an Apache Software Foundation project. A more detailed description is available at http://hadoop.apache.org/
Hadoop is as an open-source framework used in managing and processing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. (see sidebar) Companies like Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo use it to take enormous volumes of low-value information from web servers, such as link clicks, and turn into useful data, according to Sid Probstein, CTO of Attivio, a Massachusetts-based enterprise software company.
But useful summaries require Hadoop be layered with other applications that might, for example, mine data or provide visualization to an end-user.
"Hadoop is a solid technology, it's very effective at solving the volume problem, but most interesting output has to be merged with other data," Probstein said. "You have to put that data in order for real people to consume it."
Some companies have turned to pre-packaged solutions that do just that, combining Hadoop's data processing capabilities with other tools like in-memory technology to provide end-users with real-time insights gleaned from big piles of data.
Ricci cited a use-case of MKI, a biotechnology company based in Japan, as evidence of where Hadoop-based technologies are headed.
MKI uses Hadoop in conjunction with SAP's in-memory HANA system and the open-source statistical program R to create what Ricci called a "real-time big data platform" that cuts down the time it takes doctors to sequence genomes.
In the system, Hadoop handles data pre-processing and high-speed storage, R does the data mining and SAP's HANA system performs real-time analysis of patient data for MKI.
The end result is that doctors can compare the genome data of a cancer patient with healthy individuals, delivering analysis "before the patient leaves the hospital," Ricci said.
The National Institutes of Health could use such a system in its cancer research efforts, Ricci said. And because the technology stack can group together real-time independent data feeds like 911 and search and rescue and display information visually, it could prove useful in agencies responding to natural disasters or major emergencies.
"Hadoop with in-memory technology would allow emergency responders to have a holistic view of what's going on," Ricci said. "How do you gather all that information up, make sense of it all so you can coordinate from a central or multiple locations and make sure it's done efficiently and nobody's left out? That's what we're trying to do."
Alone, Ricci said, Hadoop is a useful tool for some, but suggested its best bet in the evolution of big data is in concert with other tools to "bring information together in a better user-interface."
"Hadoop does not fit all – it has limitations – and it's not easy for a business person or someone to go in quickly and garner insight without help from technologists," Ricci said. "The evolution of big data comes down to making the information available to all stakeholders."

At last! Sheldon is bested and can't do a thing about it.
Sheldon and Leonard are handed their respective asses by Penny and Amy at various game competitions and not before time.
I think I was more astonished that Penny recognised the difference between "Polish" & "polish", more than anything else.
Just goes to show that having a brain the size of a planet isn't always the best option.
This was overall a steady round of laughter, unfortunately a lot heading in Howards direction while he was trying to bask in his astronaut glory and everyone else too preoccupied to care.
Pride of place HAS to go to Mrs. W, "gettin' some" while Howard was in space and watching his dentist trying to flee via the bedroom window. Priceless!
Overall, a very good outing this week, sorta proving the point that if you keep it simple it comes out great.
Looking forward to next show.

Harvard Slips Past Minnesota, 4-3
Feb. 8, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS – The No. 39 Minnesota men's tennis team dropped its second-straight match at home Saturday, falling to 25th-ranked Harvard 4-3 at the Baseline Tennis Center. Both weekend losses came after the Gophers won the doubles competition and both finished with the same score.
Leandro Toledo and Eric Frueh gave Minnesota the edge with a 6-4 win against Conor Haughey and Kelvin Lam at No. 3 before the 47th-ranked Jack Hamburg and Mathieu Froment sealed the point with an upset 6-4 win over No. 17 Denis Nguyen and Casey MacMaster.
Hamburg re-tied the score by downing Sebastian Beltrame 6-3, 6-5 (5), but the Crimson took the win when Andrew Ball defeated Jeremy Lynn at No. 6.
At No. 1, Toledo lost for the first time in six matches, falling to No. 44 Denis Nguyen, 6-4, 6-4.

*sighs* Here we go again with the speedy posting; looks like another RP I'll have to quit *rolls eyes*
May 10 2009, 05:20 PM
((NOOOOOOOOOOO~ T.T it's been SLOW posting forever.All that's happened is that Mai's come in,introduced her chars,and kinda pissed Kari off.))
May 10 2009, 05:22 PM
ooc| Yeah, but it's still pain-in-the-neck backposting that people need to read, especially when they can't keep up with it!
-__________-; *sighs* I should probably just quit, considering I can't post until 5pm California-time on the weekdays.
May 10 2009, 05:39 PM
(Noooooooo!! Don't Leave!!! Please!!!!)
Virgil walked slowly to the train station when he noticed 2 other people he hadn't seen before talking to His men. In 0.1 seconds he pulled out his ADR rifle and fired a shoot that Put a Hole in the tip if the man's finger nail, without harming him. "Who the Hell are you Ba$tards?" he called, still in position to shoot a big hole in there heads.
May 10 2009, 05:46 PM
ooc| ...
-_______-; *sighs* Fine.
BiC| Ash didn't seem at all affected by the newcomers, or by Virgil's not-so-surprising appearance. She sat on a bench, watching them all with weary eyes, twitching slightly when the man that had summoned them all pulled out his gun and fired it for no reason.
"...Virgil...the gun wasn't necessary," she muttered with a roll of eyes.
May 10 2009, 05:47 PM
"....You nicked my ears....Teme."
Kari growled annoyed while holding her now bleeding ear and said with an anime vein "They got put onto this mission too!They were just late dammit!"
May 10 2009, 05:52 PM
"And also lucky I didn't kill them." Virgil said as he sighed. He lowered his gun and walked over to the group. "The Train..Why isn't here yet?" He asked as he fished through his pocket for something
May 10 2009, 05:53 PM
"It got delayed since they ran out of fuel or something."
Kari said with her eye twitching,why was she getting the feeling she wasn't going to get along with him at all?
May 10 2009, 05:55 PM
Ash just rolled her eyes again and leaned her head to the side, seemingly bored as she sat with her legs and arms crossed, her brow twitching slightly with irritation as they waited for the train. However, what bothered her was her feeling of needing to keep an eye on Virgil; his aura seemed a bit unsettling to her. She blinked, frowning, and stared to the side, watching the train tracks.
May 10 2009, 06:01 PM
Virgil sighed. Quicklly, his mind drifed to the man in the Blue suit. He looked like Some kind of Government Agent but...he seemed almost other worldly.
The G-man. That's what I'll call him for a Bit.
he thought. That was a Decent name. Then he though of what he told he Before he left.
/The R-right man inthe wrong....place can make all of the...Dif-er-ence...In the wor-ld./
How odd..
May 11 2009, 02:00 PM
T-T gomen!!!! Sorry Rosi-chan I'll post slower or something like that DX
Roxanne was struggling to keep Anthony away from Virgil. "What's his f*!@ing problem?" He mumbled as he finally "calmed down" she just gave him a warning glare. Anthony took a deap breath and sat down playing with 2 black dices, she sat down as she took out the deck of the regular cards and started shuffling them.
May 11 2009, 02:06 PM
"He's more paranoid than I am,that's his problem."
Kari grumbled just as annoyed while reading her comic book for a minute and shut it calmly,finishing it,and putting it back in her bag and saw that Roxanne had cards and she asked sitting down in front of her
"You have tarot cards right?Mind looking at what fate as in stored for me while we wait?We got nothing else to do."
May 11 2009, 02:35 PM
Anthony looked at Roxanne, she shrughed calmly "Sure why not? I'll give you a 3-card spread, you can call it a summary of the true reading" She said as she took out her tarot cards, she then put 3 cards facing the floor. "Past, present and future" She said, she then turn the 1º card face up "Past - Nine of Swords, this card represents deception, suffering and depression, cruelty, disappointment, violence, loss and scandal. A hard past haunts you" She said but somehow didnt look really surprised, she then turned the other card face up "Present -The Moon, this card represents tension, doubt, fantasy, confusion, deception, imagination. Just like the moon everything has 2 faces" She said, she then turn the last card face up "Ahhh...The Wheel Of Fortune...this is one of the most confusing cards....anything can happen, the meaning of this card depends on the cards that surround it but the main point of this card will always be the same.....change expects you" She said as she looked at Kari.
May 11 2009, 02:39 PM
"Hmmm....Good to know,change is to come.Interesting."
Kari said blinking slowly looking lost in thought while scratching her left ear.So change?That was pretty vague.And deception,doubt,imagination,and tension?Sounded pretty realistic right now considering something seemed really...Odd about these two 'state alchemists' and then Vergil was well,just generally untrustworthy in her book.This was going to be an interesting mission.That's for sure.
May 11 2009, 07:02 PM
Ash sat quietly, watching them all with little interest as she stretched, then mumbled, rather loudly, under her breath, "Where the hell is the bloody train?!" She snorted, yawned, and narrowed her eyes as she swept her bangs from her eyes.
May 12 2009, 07:48 AM
"It's coming right now actually,I can hear it."
Kari said standing up and dusting herself off,picking up the cards and handing them to Roxanne,and grabbing her simple black backpack deep in thought about her supposed future and present.The past was well,the past.It'd already happened so she wasn't too shocked that's the card she had gotten.
May 12 2009, 01:47 PM
Roxanne put the cards back in her pocket and she grabbed her bag and her staff. Anthony got up with his violin case, the only thing he was carrying, he walked next to Roxanne "A confusing card? What was that all about?" He whispered, she just waved him off, a small chuckle escaped from his lips "A 3-card spread, that's what I promised" She mumbled as she shrughed.
May 13 2009, 01:48 PM
Kari got up and got on the Train,with everybody following her and said seeing a couple booths empty,just enough for all of them,while motioning to get over there quickly as she got to a seat
"C'mon,there's some seats over there.I got dibbs on window seat."
May 14 2009, 05:45 PM
"Well If we're done bending Spoons.." Virgil said, Griping a red needle of DME under his sleeve as he walked into he train. When the Conductor asked for his ticket, He casually flashed it, and Proceeded to take the seat Kari was supposed to have.
May 14 2009, 05:47 PM
"Aw don't be such a cranky puss,your worse than Hades and me combined without coffee at the crack of dawn."
Kari said to Virgil amused while grabbing her laptop,her hat,and her glasses out of her bag and started 'working' on her laptop looking at the very least occupied.One could only wonder where Hades went,that is if they didn't know what exactly he was.
May 14 2009, 05:52 PM
Virgil Didn't pay Much attention. "So, where's your Useless Companion? " Virgil asked as a Distraction so he could inject himself
May 14 2009, 05:54 PM
"He's not useless."
Kari said automatically with her eye twitching and added simply still typing on her laptop not paying attention,or was she and just didn't care?,to what he was doing to himself
"And he's here,and if he was useless I wouldn't even have him around."
May 14 2009, 05:56 PM
"Your either Elementary school Emo, or you're automaticlly cliche" Said Virgil as he Injected himself with the Dme and sighed with relief.
May 14 2009, 05:59 PM
"The first one is more likely.I didn't go to school."
Kari said half sarcastically looking annoyed and added rolling her eyes
"And if your really wondering about my so called 'useless companion' then try asking politely.Then he might actually want to show himself without me having to get the short end of the stick and get yelled at later."
May 14 2009, 06:02 PM
"Fine then.
Tell me about the one you lug around all day." Virgil said as the train Started moveing
May 14 2009, 06:03 PM
"Okay then,he's right here."
Kari said simply while taking her black and gold gun out of it's holster and holding it up and resisted on twirling it around her finger.
May 14 2009, 06:06 PM
"Your Friend is a gun? Whats next. Are you gonna Tell me I'm really a Cheese Stick in a Man Costume?" He asked
May 14 2009, 06:08 PM
"....No.And he's not technically my friend.And yes he's really a gun,and when there isn't 200 people around to freak out I'll show you."
Kari said sweat dropping while rolling her eyes,it was the truth after all,and putting Hades back into his holster
May 14 2009, 06:09 PM
"You Alchemists and your Witchcraft...." Said Virgil as he rubbed his head.
May 14 2009, 06:11 PM
"....Okay,for one thing I didn't even make him.And for another,I'm not even sure if he was even made out of alchemy at this point.All I know is that I'm the only one who can use him without becoming Kentucky fried chicken."
Kari said bluntly with an anime anger mark on her head and added flatly
"He's got black and gold hair,that's generally not natural.He's got gold eyes,again not usually natural.And has THIS *points to the 'XIII' mark on her gun* on his forehead.Do you want any other proof other than me having to get him to transform?"
May 14 2009, 06:12 PM
"If he's not your friend and he Yells at you and what not, why not get a new Gun then?" Virgil asked as he rubbed his scars.
May 14 2009, 06:16 PM
"Because,this one can't break.And I can use it to my full potential unlike normal guns,plus yes we're not friends.We're pretty much brother and sister by this point since we grew up together."
Kari said with a shrug while sweat dropping and rubbing her temples
May 14 2009, 06:18 PM
Virgil then promtolly shoot the Hades gun in a shoot that took 0.3 seconds and spun it out of Kari's Hand to the floor.
"Yep. Your right. It is Unbreakable."
May 14 2009, 06:19 PM
"....Your really rude."
Kari said simply while still having Hades in her hand,she wasn't a pushover after all,and simply twirled it with her fingers and said simply twisting it to where the bullets ricocheted off
"Not a scratch either."
May 14 2009, 06:20 PM
"I wonder how long that will last..." Virgil muttered as he Holstered his Rifle.
May 14 2009, 06:21 PM
"It's been more than 10 years."
Kari said simply while putting him back in his holster,ignoring the looks she was getting from the conductor and the passengers,and started to go back to her typing as she started explaining for the sake of keeping the conversation going
"He's made out of Orichalum."
May 14 2009, 06:22 PM
"Whats that, A Rock Group?" Virgil asked
May 14 2009, 06:24 PM
"It's a type of metal,stronger than steel.Practically impossible to get and really rare according to the [All hail lord Xenu] who made him.Which is why nobody else can use him if they don't wanna be Kentucky fried chicken from the electrical power he's got."
Kari said rolling her eyes
May 14 2009, 06:26 PM
Virgil at this point was hardly listening. he just nodded and said "Uh-huh" as he thought about the G-man
May 14 2009, 06:27 PM
Kari's eye twitched and asked rather sarcastically while she started poking him,rather childishly,on the forehead with a scowl
"What about you Mr talkative?Anything I should know about since we're gonna work together?"
May 14 2009, 06:30 PM
"Oh thats real cute. Hey, Do you could you holds some bullets for me? I mean, in your Face." He said as he sighed.
"You want to know, about the Thousands of Battles that I have fought for this Corrupt nation? You want to know How I got my scars?" He asked
May 14 2009, 06:32 PM
"Why not?I've been in the same position at least 100 times,and I've got scars myself."
Kari said with a shrug,ignoring the bullet comment,but stopped poking him and shut her laptop and took her glasses off and started cleaning them
May 14 2009, 06:33 PM
"Hmm. Fine I'll tell you. Have you ever Heard of the...Miltian Conflict?" asked Virgil
May 14 2009, 06:36 PM
"Militan conflict?"
Kari asked blinking and then added knowing he'd say something insulting "I only joined recently so I don't wanna hear about how supposedly stupid I am.And your probably a decade older than I am,no offense."
May 14 2009, 06:38 PM
"Ha. Well I would have been surprised if you had known what it was. It's Classified. Let me tell you about it for boredom's sake..." He said as he closed his eyes.
"There once was a Group of Alchemist called the Librarians, whom wished to control and create all life, not long ago." Virgil said
May 14 2009, 06:40 PM
"That's a rather stupid idea."
Kari said simply but didn't add further letting him tell his story
May 14 2009, 06:41 PM
"Not for people with a God Complex. Anyway, after months of Conducting Expriments in secret, they had a Sucess. A girl, named Febronia..." He said slowlly
May 14 2009, 06:42 PM
Kari asked blinking,what a weird name.
May 14 2009, 06:46 PM
"Well Appearentlly she was origonally supposed to be given the name KOS-MOS so she counted her blessings.
Anyway, soon after that, they began makeing souless copys of her to serve as an Army and Security force, as they made more Beings, they called Realians."
May 14 2009, 06:47 PM
"....Now I'm convinced that they were morons."
Kari said rubbing her temples at just the thought

I'm looking for someone to do a paid review on my latest theme (to be submit). I'm a solo dev and I feel like I need an extra set of eyes to look at a designer and user perspective. If someone can do that, please pm me with your rates
Thank you so much for notifying us about the issue.
I really wonder why my theme is included in the list. I see to it that I update my theme every-time there is a plugin update.
I just made an update today and I am still checking the things that I need to do in-order for my theme to be remove in the list of affected themes. If there are any advice you could tell us, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again!
Thanks a lot mate! This will save us some time
how about a job portal theme?
What exactly is Envato doing to earn that 30%??? There isn't even a support system on Envato for us author's to use! We are all hosting, paying for, and spending the time managing and setting up our own support system… and Envato wants to cash in on that? Craziness.
I thought this discussion is open to all authors. I wonder why my message is currently being reviewed? If you don't want some author to contribute his humble idea, just delete the message. Funny.
*goes back to office to build some good items.
How about this:
(Just another humble suggestion)
Overall, this is great.
I have a few questions:
I understand that this will be an additional income to authors (which is great). However, where will the 30% go? Is there a platform that Envato will provide for authors? Since majority of the authors here are already paying for support platforms like ticksy and zendesk.
Just when you thought you've reach the shiny golden paw and then all of the sudden…. badge change!!! lol.

This paper investigates the number of trace-one elements in a polynomial basis for \(\mathbb{F}_{2^n}\) . A polynomial basis with a small number of trace-one elements is desirable because it results in an efficient and low cost implementation of the trace function. We focus on the case where the reduction polynomial is a trinomial or a pentanomial, in which case field multiplication can also be efficiently implemented.

Erin Hull/The Coloradoan, AP
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Preston Medlin scored 18 points Tuesday night and Utah State dominated Colorado State 71-62.
Spencer Butterfield scored 14, Kyle Davis had 12, Jarred Shaw grabbed 10 rebounds, and the Aggies (15-9, 5-7 Mountain West) never trailed.
Utah State opened with a 10-2 run that included Medlin's 200th career trey, and pulled to a 19-8 lead. Butterfield hit consecutive treys — for his 100th career 3-pointer — for a 25-10 Utah State lead, and the Aggies led 29-15 at halftime. Colorado State shot just 17.2 percent in the half.
The Aggies built a 19-point lead after a 7-2 second-half run capped by a three-point play by Jalen Moore. The Rams showed some life when Daniel Bejarano and Jon Octeus each hit a trey, cutting the lead to 12, but the Aggies held them off.
Octeus led Colorado State (14-11, 5-7) with 22, Bejarano had 21, and J.J. Avila 14.

For one night only, Yost Theater's stage serves as the centerpiece of the Hard Rock's Rock Star Beer Festival, a celebration that gives attendees the opportunity to taste unlimited samples of more than 40 craft beers. The VIP tent supplements the brews with mixed-drink samples from Cocktail City Vegas, and Chicago punk outfit Mest and Gwen Stefani–certified tribute No Duh will play throughout the evening. A portion of the proceeds benefit Beer for Boobs, a nonprofit that provides funding for breast-cancer research.

Kylie Jenner, HUGE Lips Offer Beauty Advice
We mean no offense by the following. It simply must be said, even if it's been mentioned many times before:
Kylie Jenner is the 13-year old half-sister of Kim, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian. She has made it clear that she wants to follow in their...
We mean no offense by the following. It simply must be said, even if it's been mentioned many times before:
Sometimes, it's easy forget that Kylie Jenner is only 17.
After all, she's dating 25-year-old Tyga, she clearly has zero parental supervision. and it seems like she's been in the public eye for as long as we can remember.
Kylie Jenner is covering the latest issue of Remix, which sources have confirmed is an actual magazine that really does exist.
Taking a page from half-sister Kim Kardashian - who will pose for any publication whose check won't bounce - Kylie wears her hair way up for the photo shoot, posting multiple images from the issue on Instagram.
Long before the Kylie Jenner and Tyga relationship made the world wonder why statutory rape laws aren't enforced in California, Tyga was engaged to Blac Chyna.
Instagram. It's one wild and crazy place, isn't it?
You can log in right now and see a 17-year old wearing very little clothing... and you can also see a super successful movie star getting attached by a raccoon.
Last week, on her Instagram page, Kylie Jenner flaunted crazy cleavage in what she deemed "basic workout attire."
Yes, Kylie is semi nude on social media every day, but these pics were revealing even by her standards, and she was in public, to boot!
Kylie Jenner has an astonishing 19 million Instagram followers and according to her, the reason she's so popular is quite simple - everyone wants to be like Kylie.
Yes, whether it's Kylie's big lips or her blue hair, in her mind, she's a 17-year-old trendsetter with a one-of-a-kind sense of style.
Last month, Kylie Jenner bought a house. Not just any house, mind you, but a $2.7 million mansion in Calabasas with a movie theater and a giant lagoon-style pool in the backyard.
