MDA's new term licence scheme draws flak from theatre practitioners
An administrative step forward, but potentially two steps back when it comes to openness and trust.
Many Singapore theatre practioners interviewed by Life! expressed disappointment with the Media Development Authority's new term licence scheme that will give out yearly licences to stage performances, instead of on a per-event basis, and allow arts groups to classify some or virtually all of their own performances without the need to submit scripts to MDA.
The yearly-licensing scheme divides groups into two tiers. Tier 1 groups can self-classify performances with a General rating and without racial, religious or political content. Groups selected for Tier 2 can self-classify all scripted performances. But their licence to do so is subject to an annual review, in which the MDA will evaluate whether licensees have complied with regulations and classified performances accurately.
Theatre practitioners say this additional layer of checks betrays the lack of trust in artists, and amounts to "regulating how we regulate".

i like these sort of conditions, very moody.
the composition is a bit loose with all the interest over to the right and a block left side which is a little awkward.
exposure i feel has been guided by the camera looking to simulate 18% grey and when i played with a mod, its clear the whites and blacks are well behind the ends of the histograph, i dragged the pointers in to give a full range of tones and cropped the side and bottom a little.
it interesting to me because the sillouette looks very similar to Bolsover castle where i live which often sits in these conditions in the early mornings on top of the escarpment.
best regards,

A good shot under very difficult lighting conditions for the camera. It almost needs ta couple of exposures overlaid to properly expose for light and dark.
Loaded a mod with the tonal range expanded similar to Phil, but cropped differently, - I added more space at the top and cropped from bottom and left, adding a frame, and sharpened.
Would make a nice print with the added contrast.

Candida is a yeast-like fungus that lives in the intestines, bowel, genitals, throat, esophagus and mouth. Male or female, if you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, candida yeast could be making your symptoms much worse.
While we all have this yeast in our bodies, under certain circumstances it becomes a condition known as Candidiasis when it grows out of control. Many candida yeast overgrowth symptoms are similar to those of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
In Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Dr. James Balch says these symptoms include constipation, diarrhea, colitis, abdominal pain, headaches, mood swings, PMS, fatigue, and depression. You may also experience heartburn, memory loss, canker sores, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and cough, night sweats, vaginitis, kidney and bladder infections, athlete's foot, jock itch, fungal infections, arthritis and adrenal problems.
Dr. James LaValle adds gas, bloating, and food reactions to this list. In fact, from his perspective, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the many chronic candida yeast overgrowth symptoms!
If you suffer from Candidiasis, you might also notice that you crave sweets, bread or alcohol, react to chemical smells or perfumes, or feel depressed or lethargic after a walk in the autumn leaves.
What causes candida yeast to grow out of control?
One of the most common causes of overgrowth is the use of antibiotics and other drugs that kill off the bacteria that controls candida yeast in the intestines. These drugs include steroids, NSAIDS, chemotherapy, birth control pills, and some antacids.
Other factors that can trigger a candida yeast overgrowth include stress, having reduced immune function, a high sugar diet, nutritional deficiencies, mercury and heavy metal exposure, and pregnancy. (This is possibly why some women find themselves treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms after childbirth.)
If you would like to read about this in detail, I highly recommend the section on Candidiasis in Dr. Lavalle's Cracking the Metabolic Code, pages 173-184 in the paperback version. In fact, all of the information about intestinal health in chapter 9 of his book is worth reading.
Treating candida yeast overgrowth symptoms...
Dr. Balch warns against repeated medical treatment of Candidiasis as the yeast may become stronger by developing resistance to the drugs. Both Balch and Lavalle recommend addressing candida yeast overgrowth with nutrition and supplements.
The basic anti-candida diet includes meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, tree nuts (not peanuts, which grow in the ground and contain mould), rice, potatoes, vegetables, a little oil, and lots of water (including herbal tea.)
An anti-candida diet can be very challenging to follow at first. Why? Because when you have Candidiasis, you crave the very foods you need to stop eating. Actually, it is the yeast that is doing the craving, not you! Dr. A. Constantini, an expert on mycotoxins (fungal toxins), thinks that yeasts and fungi use humans to get around on the planet and provide them (the mycotoxins) with their favourite foods!
And what are the favourite foods of yeast? Sugar, honey, alcohol, anything fermented, anything sweet, chocolate, peanuts, aged and blue cheeses, nut butters, grains, baked goods, dried fruit, vinegar, soy sauce, pickles, mushrooms, and anything containing yeast or citric acid. Even lactose or milk sugar could be a problem.
But cutting out all these foods is not usually enough and the results can be slow. To speed things up, Drs Balch and LaValle suggest a regimen of natural anti-fungals, nutrients and probiotics. These would include non-dairy acidophilus, caprylic acid, garlic, quercetin, vitamin B-complex, cat's claw, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, oregano leaf extract, FOS, butyric acid, L-glutamine to heal the bowel, tumeric and ginger.
Another way to speed things up is to find a Touch for Health or other practitioner who does substance de-sensitizing and have them desensitize you to candida yeast. Get them to check you beforehand for the anti-fungals that will work best for you. Prior to that appointment, it's a good idea to do your research, get all the foods you'll need, and get rid of the foods and drinks that the yeast likes so you won't be tempted by them. Also, plan some quiet time for at least the first week. I'll explain why in the "Warning" section below.
Please DO NOT use this article to treat your candida yeast overgrowth symptoms. Do more research and plan your strategy. A good place to start is with Dr. LaValle's book. He provides protocols and dietary recommendations for treating candidiasis and healing imbalances in the bowel, along with dosages for the nutrients and anti-fungals.
I know from experience that treating an overgrowth of candida yeast can be challenging. But there are ways to make it easier. And the discomfort is worth it because you feel so much better afterwards. If you're like me, you will end up with much better digestion.
For one thing, you need to know that when you take action to clear up candidiasis, the excess yeast will start to die off. This can be physically and emotionally uncomfortable especially for someone with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You could feel exhausted, depressed, morose, achey, have headaches and itchy skin, and think you're coming down with the flu. You're not. You're just killing off the excess yeast.
This could last a couple of days or a couple of weeks so don't start your candida cleanse right before final exams or your best friend's wedding or any kind of stressful or demanding event. Make sure you have time to rest and take it easy. Once you're through the first week or two, things will get a lot better.
Keep in mind that lots of negative thoughts can come up when you're killing off the excess yeast. This is from the CHEMICAL reaction inside your body, not because you're a negative person with a million problems. If you start to feel horribly depressed, angry or upset, keep repeating to yourself, "It's not me; it's the yeast. It's NOT me. It's the yeast."
You also need to know that taking anti-fungals can make you tired for the first few days so, initially, you might want to take them at night before you go to bed. Once your system is used to them, you can try taking them two or three times a day, if that's the recommended dosage schedule.
The final thing you need to know is that yeast is very sneaky. You'll be doing so well with your anti-candida diet that one fine day you decide you can afford to eat one little sugar-sweetened cookie. Don't fall for it! That's not your brain talking; it's the yeast, wheedling you into a return to all your candida yeast overgrowth symptoms. Before you know it, that one cookie will have turned into a whole bag and you'll suddenly find yourself with all the same problems you worked so hard to get rid of.
When that happens, your IBS could take a turn for the worse. So don't let candida yeast and its overgrowth symptoms take over your life. Getting them under control is an important part of treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome for many sufferers.

HI, I just installed Sapphire under Leopard and it looks like it's going to be great! My problem is I have my iTunes library on a networked drive /shared/ Sapphire is showing me this folder and only this folder in the settings, which is fine, because my movies are in that folder, but so are 30,000 mp3's. It's going through each MP3. I'm using the 'let iTunes sort your collection' setting, so my movies are in shared/itunes/movies and my tv shows are in shared/itunes/tv shows. Is there a way to set up sapphire to only look in those folders? Or a way to make it ignore anything that has a .mp3 extension?

Bill Daley Is Gone After He Ordered Investigation Into Obama's Green Energy Loans
January 13, 2012 | Posted by Beth Shaw under Energy |
Bill Daley is the second of Obama's Chief of Staff's to leave his position in less than a year. In fact, there have been four to leave in the past three years. Rumor has it that Bill Daley resigned because his more business friendly attitude was in stark contrast to the Obama administration's hardline environmentalism which is anything BUT business friendly. It is certainly NOT an attitude that is conducive to job creation within the United States.
Last year, both Barack Obama and EPA officials were attempting to impliment tough new ozone standards – standards that many American manufacturers were warning would decimate an already unstable industry during a time of recession. According to a Politico report, it was Bill Daley who managed to shift the president's decision to not favoring the stricter ozone regulations. How he managed to do so remains unknown.
Another Politico report indicated the following approximately two months ago:
The White House has ordered an independent review of all Energy Department loan guarantees in response to Solyndra's collapse.
Chief of staff Bill Daley tasked former Treasury Department official Herb Allison to lead the 60-day review into more than two dozen loan guarantees approved since the start of the Obama administration
It should be noted that Herb Allison, the son of an FBI agent and a veteran of the Vietnam War, is also a Republican – and Bill Daley chose him to head up the investigation into the failed Obama green loans program.
And now Bill Daley is gone from the Obama White House…
Cameron J. Potter: Former CFO of 'Green' Group Pleads Guilty to Skimming Federal Funds
September 15, 2011 | Posted by Beth Shaw under Issues |
Cameron J. Potter is a former CFO of 'green' group who has plead guilty to skimming Federal funds. Read more abut it below and see his mugshot photo.
We are always told that the 'green' in the greenies movement is all about the good green Earth, but one scandal after the next in the 'green' movement is exposing that the 'green' in the green movement stands for an entirety different green. The green of hard cold cash.
And all these 'green' groups seem to be getting their riches from our tax dollars through the Federal government. Take Cameron J. Potter, former CFO of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy for instance. He's just plead guilty of fraud.
The former chief financial officer for an organization devoted to promoting green energy admitted Tuesday he succumbed to the allure of another green — cash money.
Cameron J. Potter pleaded guilty Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Thomas Phillips to bilking the Department of Energy of more than $400,000 intended for legitimate use by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy to promote renewable energy sources, typically dubbed "green energy."
Potter, 31, was employed as the chief financial officer for SACE when, in 2006, he concocted a scheme to siphon off money awarded the advocacy group by the DOE for his own personal gain, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Dale told Phillips.
"He created false invoices and submitted those invoices to SACE for payment," Dale said.
Stephen Smith, the alliance's executive director, said today that he and senior managers uncovered the scam more than two years ago, fired Potter and notified federal authorities.
According to a plea agreement brokered between Dale and defense attorney Donald A. Bosch, Potter admitted to a scam that spanned three years. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering as part of the plea.
Dale said Potter set up accounts through PayPal, an online banking service, which bore names similar to businesses SACE typically used to carry out various consulting services. He then crafted invoices for work never performed and paid them through the SACE's American Express account.
"Potter then electronically transferred the stolen funds from his PayPal accounts to his own bank account," Dale said.
Dale listed in the plea agreement a 2007 purchase by Potter using the purloined money of a 1998 Lexus as evidence of the money laundering count.
As part of Tuesday's plea, Potter agreed to give up any money left in both his personal bank accounts and retirement accounts that were funded with his ill-gotten gain.
Bosch told Phillips that Potter is a "permanent resident of Australia" and may face deportation as a result of his conviction in the embezzlement case. Dale said it's not clear yet whether Potter was a legal resident of the United States during the embezzlement scheme.
SACE is a constant critic of the Tennessee Valley Authority and its coal-fired generation of electric energy.
Potter remains free on bond pending sentencing in January.
Solyndra Scandal Continues to Grow: White House Favors, Stimulus Bailout, Low-Interest Loans, Bankruptcy
September 7, 2011 | Posted by Beth Shaw under Energy, Issues |
The Solyndra scandal continues to grow with revelations of White House favors using tax-payer funded loans and bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration continues to stonewall answering any questions about how and why the solar-energy company, who had made significant contributions to the Obama campaign, was given special favors for loans when they had been rated sub-par for loan requests by the Treasury's Federal Financing Bank prior to Obama becoming President.
Solyndra was given over half a billion in loans at far less than its competitors. George Kaiser, a major investor in Solyndra, Obama's poster-child for green jobs, and frequent visitor to the White House is to get his investment back before tax-payers are reimbursed for the half a billion dollar loss in the Solyndra collapse. In addition, 1,000 more people are out of work due to the company's collapse.
From ABC News:
The $535 million loan to Solyndra Inc., issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Federal Financing Bank, included a quarterly interest rate of 1.025 percent, the government bank reported in July. Of 18 Energy Department loans cited in the bank's report, Solyndra's rate was lowest. Eight other Energy Department projects, each also backed by the Federal Financing Bank, came with rates three or four times higher, the report shows.
That treatment is in keeping with the history of the loan to the California solar panel maker, an arrangement inked in September 2009 with great fanfare — and touted, not long after, during a factory visit from the president. Monthly government bank reports filed since then reveal Solyndra's rate as the lowest for any energy-related project in nearly every report; in every case its rate was well below that of most energy projects, which ranged from cutting-edge electric car makers to wind and solar ventures. …
Solyndra's most prolific financial backer is George Kaiser, an Oklahoma oil billionaire who was a bundler of campaign donations for Obama's 2008 race. Kaiser's Argonaut Ventures and its affiliates have been the single largest shareholder of Solyndra, according to SEC filings and other records. The company holds 39 percent of Solyndra's parent company, bankruptcy records filed Tuesday show.
Under terms of the bankruptcy filing, investors including Argonaut — which led a $75 million round of financing for Solyndra earlier this year — will stand in line before the federal government and other creditors.
When Solyndra announced that round of fundraising this February, it noted that the DOE had refinanced terms of the $535 million loan to extend the payment period. Under an "inter-creditor agreement" cited in the bankruptcy filing, the investors in the $75 million financing are considered first lien holders. That leaves Obama officials to confront the prospect of waiting behind private companies.
It seems it time for the Obama administration to start answering some questions about the Solyndra scandal.
UPDATE: The FBI is now investigating Solyndra.

We photograph events.
We are a fun, dynamic, creative photography team that brings excitement to the event.
We are professional and we've got our own style.
Image + Text. No camera or lens logos please. We want a logo that expresses our professional, playful (but not childlike), and artistic style that looks good against black or white, and has our name along with a logo image design. Logo should look good large or small and convey our brand though just the image. It would be nice if the image could be scalable as a small icon for social networking. We can also use "Shark And Yeti Photography" instead of "Shark & Yeti Photography", If the name and logo looks better that way. The yeti graphic is being used by one of the photographers and could possibly be incorporated into the final Shark & Yeti logo if you want to try it that way, but it is not required to use this yeti in the logo.

I'm Atheist. There- I said it. But do you know what that really means? When people find out or when I tell them, they look at me like I am a satan worshipper. Or like I am a horrible person. It doesn't mean I am a horrible person. It simply means I bekive in no afterlife. No god. No devil."Why are you this way? Are you mad at god? Are you tying to rebel?" My religious friends always ask me that.It gets a little annoying sometimes , but I try not to show it. I am this way because it is what I believe. I'm not mad at anyone- it's just what I believe to be true. And please don't bash on my religion. I don't bash on yours :)It's okay to be different.

A pair of clasped hands appeared from the wings, followed by the arms. Then the dancers were onstage, silhouetted against the dimly lit blue back drop. Gliding slowly upward across a ramp, they moved forward, swayed back, moved forward again. At last they reached the top and stood there as though gazing serenely at a sunlit land.
The starkly simple duet lasted only minutes, but to the mesmerized audience it seemed to have gone on for an enchanted eon. In a way, it had. For the couple onstage, last week's duet climaxed a full half-century of love and labor in...

Heat turn up the intensity for Chicago stay
Posted by mikemcgraw on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 01:50
Miami decided to show Dwyane Wade that he can experience his hometown of Chicago during NBA season without changing teams.
After playing in New Jersey on Monday, the Heat headed straight to Chicago for two days off before facing the Bulls on Thursday at the United Center. After practicing Wednesday at Attack Athletics on the West Side, the players were talking up the intensity of the Bulls-Heat rivalry.
Here are the quotes, courtesy of the South Florida Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald.
"It started when we beat them in the first round of those playoffs (in 2006), and it will always be something there," Wade said. "This is always a physical game, playing against the Bulls. If it gets any more physical, nobody would be playing."
Added forward Udonis Haslem, "It's always been a heated, edgy rivalry. Whether both teams are in the playoff race, or it's a playoff game or a regular-season game, there's definitely been a little edge to this game."
Probably not as much of an edge since flagrant-foul specialist James Posey left the Heat. But the last meeting in Miami on March 12 featured a flagrant foul from Brad Miller against Wade, followed by 3 technical fouls by Miller and Kirk Hinrich for arguing the call.
The Bulls played without Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng in the last game. They'll have Rose and Noah back Thursday. Meanwhile, the sixth-place Heat will head into the contest with a 3 ½ game lead on the ninth-place Bulls.
"We're treating this as a playoff game," Miami coach Eric Spoelstra said. "This is going to be a game they're looking to as an absolute must-win. It doesn't eliminate them, but a win immediately puts them right back into contention in the chase against us. If we were able to get that win, it gives us a lot more separation with them."
During an appearance on NBA TV on Tuesday, Bucks general manager John Hammond talked about trading with the division rival Bulls at the deadline.
Milwaukee got a sweet deal, since John Salmons is averaging close to 20 points per game since the trade. The Bulls were able to ensure that they'll have roughly $20 million to spend on free agents this summer.
"We talked about it over and over and over again before we made the decision what to do with Chicago," Hammond said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "That was a concern for us, but you know what? At the end of the day, we had to do what was going to be right for us. We needed a piece like John. He's fit in for us. It's been worthwhile for us.
"I'm not going to tell you it was not a concern. It's still a concern. If Chicago can sign one of these major free agents, it's going to be a concern for us and we will have to live with it."
--The Bulls moved within 2 games of eighth place in the East when Toronto was throttled at home by Utah on Wednesday. Next up for the Raptors is a home game against Denver, then a trip to Miami and Charlotte.
Keep in mind, the Bulls cannot win a tiebreaker against Toronto. The Raptors are 2-0 against the Bulls and the teams meet just once more, on April 11 at the Air Canada Centre.
--Of course, Dwyane Wade was asked about the Bulls clearing more cap room, since he'll be one of the top free-agent targets this summer.
"I understand the business side of it, so I understand what they were doing as a team," he said. "But it had nothing to do with me."
Wade will get a call from the Bulls on July 1, but so will LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson and probably a few others.
--Another Miami storyline is the presence of Charles Barkley as a courtside commentator at Thursday's game. Not long ago, Barkley called the non-Dwyane Wade Heat players a bunch of Tito Jacksons.
Forward Michael Beasley, last year's No. 2 draft pick behind Derrick Rose, took offense to that statement.
"I kind of let that affect me, which messed my game up a little bit," Beasley said. "I don't care, man. I'm excited. He can call me Tito. He can call me New Edition, SpongeBob. Call me whatever he wants. I'm going to go out and play."
Apparently the other Heat players have no problem being compared to the former Jackson 5 guitarist.

Variable response to long-term corticosteroid therapy in chronic beryllium disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15596705 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVES: Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) shares many of its characteristics with sarcoidosis and is often treated with corticosteroids. There is limited available literature regarding the effect of long-term corticosteroid therapy on the natural history of CBD. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We conducted an observational retrospective study of six patients with CBD who received prolonged corticosteroid treatment with a mean pulmonary function test follow-up period of 10.1 years. Five of the six patients were exposed to beryllium at the same workplace. The diagnosis in four of the six cases was confirmed by a positive beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test result on blood or BAL fluid. Periodic pulmonary function tests were analyzed in relation to removal from beryllium exposure and treatment with corticosteroids. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Two broad patterns of response were noted in these patients. The first pattern seen in two patients showed no improvement in FVC or diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (Dlco) with corticosteroids. However, a significant improvement in these parameters was noted on cessation of beryllium exposure in one of the two patients. The second pattern showed an initial improvement in FVC and Dlco with corticosteroids, which was not sustained. An improvement was noted on stopping beryllium exposure. CONCLUSIONS: The response to long-term corticosteroids in CBD, quite like that in sarcoidosis, is variable. Significant lung function improvement may be seen following cessation of beryllium exposure. |

Protection of Freedoms Bill – Release and publication of datasets held by public authorities
With UK legislation still lacking online commentability, I thought I'd grab a copy of the part of the Bill dealing with the release of public datasets, Part 6 Freedom of information and data protection: Publication of certain datasets.
However, I couldn't find an easy way of grabbing the appropriate sections in such a way that I could paste it into this document and retain the formatting (given additional constraints that this is a WordPress hosted blog and I can't appply custom styling to span tagged elements…). So here are some image grabs of the appropriate pages of the PDF version of the Bill…
PS if anyone has any ideas on embedding Bill contents in a blogpost, please let me know…
PS via the International Forum for Responsible Media Blog, here's a commentary on the above clauses by (legal trainer?) Ibrahim Hasan: FOI Datasets: The Protection of Freedoms Bill
6 Responses
You could always open the PDF version, delete the irrelevant pages and then upload the remainder to Scribd? That can be embedded in WordPress hosted.
Ah, yes – good point…:-) I hadn't thought of that…. Doh!
Rare that I can help you ;-) ! Users can comment underneath Scribd docs, but I don't think you can annotate them. Haven't investigated whether any doc services that allow annotation would be compatible with wp.com hosted – I think there are plug-ins for self-hosted.
Self hosted you can do pretty much anything you want. Another route to annotation is to annotate the page (in)directly, eg using something like the OKFN's Annotator ( http://okfn.org/projects/annotator/ ; the OU also has an annotator service ( http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/oublog/view.php?user=60&tag=ouannotate ) ) but I've always been wary of those sorts of service and never really got on with them….
YES, there are all sorts of issues about kinatg data out of context and then representing it devoid of that context, but that wasn't the point Um, what is the point, then? To do something that's kewel ? All surface and no substance? All process and technical trickery and no actual thought or context?Again, Brian, the problem is not that this stuff is pointless. The problem is that it is actively misleading and misinformative.And again, where's the upside?

Reptil is a character from Marvel Comics. He is best known as a supporting member on The Super Hero Squad Show and a member of Avengers Academy in the comics.
Publication history[edit]
Reptil first appeared in Avengers: The Initiative Featuring Reptil and was created by Christos Gage and Steve Uy.
Reptil appeared as a regular character in Avengers Academy from issue #1 (Aug 2010) through its final issue #39 (Jan 2013).
Reptil appeared in Avengers Arena, a new series by Dennis Hopeless and Kev Walker.[1]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Humberto Lopez is a young boy who had registered with the Fifty State Initiative and was living with his grandfather. When S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Valerie Cooper was putting together a squad to go after Stegron in his plot to reanimate dinosaur fossils, Tigra was placed in charge of the squad and was told to recruit Humberto to help them. Tigra was worried since Humberto hadn't gone through training yet. When going after Stegron, Humberto explained about his parents and how he got his powers.
His parents were paleontologists that dug up a crystallized bone when he was with them in the desert. The medallion had a strange energy in it that had to do with dinosaurs. Under the codename Reptil, Humberto used it to obtain the abilities of any dinosaur by thinking of it and even had an empathy to sense dinosaurs and other reptiles.
Upon arrival in Camp Hammond, Reptil went through training for a couple of days. While going through training with different members of the Initiative, Reptil learns the good and bad sides of the Initiative. Tigra tells Reptil that being a hero is a responsibility. Reptil tells her that his parents disappeared a year ago on a dig and wants to become a hero to find them.
With the help of Baron Von Blitzschlag attaching a device to increase Humbertos's dinosaur empathy, the team locates Stegron. When discovering that Stegron and his dinosaur herd are going to attack a S.H.I.E.L.D. base in South Dakota, Tigra's group intercepts them. However, Stegron took control of Komodo's mind and told her to attack her teammates. Reptil acts hot-headed during the fight and attacks Stegron, but is beaten down. Stegron and his dinosaur herd escape. Reptil suffers a mild concussion and Dr. Cooper tells him that his rash behavior allowed Stegron to escape and he endangered the lives of his teammates. Tigra speaks to Dr. Cooper in private and asks her to give Humberto one more chance to go out on the field. Valerie tells Tigra that if Reptil messes up, then his career with the Initiative would be over. Tigra speaks to Humberto a few days later and reminds him to stay balanced and not to over-commit. She tells him that everyone has problems and that he is lucky enough to be in a position to learn from other's mistakes and his own.
When it comes to a S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Wyoming, Stegron's dinosaurs are taken down by a combination of good teamwork and Reptil's abilities. It turns out that Stegron was attacking various S.H.I.E.L.D. bases to locate Moon-Boy (who had been captured from the Savage Land). Stegron was only targeting Moon-Boy so that he can gain control of Devil Dinosaur. Reptil tells Tigra that Moon-Boy is innocent and doesn't deserve this. Tigra tells Reptil there is something they can do but he has to make a tough choice. Tigra tells the S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist and agents that Moon-Boy was eaten by one of the dinosaurs and Reptil was sent home because he just got in the way and was completely useless.
What they don't know is that Reptil managed to fly out with Moonboy and take him back to his home to Nevada. Tigra meets Humberto there and they are soon greeted by Ka-Zar and his pet smilodon Zabu. Ka-Zar thanks Tigra and Reptil for bringing Moon-Boy back to him safely and invites Reptil to take Moon-Boy back to the Savage Land. After Moon-Boy is reunited with Devil Dinosaur, Ka-Zar tells Reptil that he will help him find his parents.[volume & issue needed]
Heroic Age[edit]
Soon after this as part of the Heroic Age event, Reptil is captured and taken to the USA and imprisoned in a government facility. Under the orders of Norman Osborn, experiments are performed on Reptil in an attempt to see if enough stress could turn his whole body into a dinosaur until the word of Norman Osborn's fall. As the agents of the H.A.M.M.E.R. began destroying all the evidence about Norman's clandestine and illegal projects, Reptil manages to escape as the agents were ready to murder him. As Reptil escapes the facility he is approached by Justice and Hank Pym who invite him to become part of the Avengers Academy.[2]
Along with the other students, all of them having been somehow affected by Norman Osborn, Reptil is told that they are the most promising of the heroes Osborn sought out. During their first training session, the students notice the staff arguing about them. By accessing secret computer files, the students realize that, rather than because they showed promise, they have been chosen for the academy because the staff believes they have the greatest potential to go rogue and become supervillains.[3]
During a battle, Mentallo takes control of Reptil's mind and forces him to fly headfirst towards the ground. The threat of imminent death allows Reptil to fully transform into a dinosaur. This saves Reptil's life because Mentallo can't control the dinosaur's reptilian mind. However Reptil can not control himself in this form either. His teachers think that his tendency to repress his troubles instead of dealing with them is the reason for his lack of control. They want him to accept help, but he is reluctant to talk to staff of the academy. Since the best superhuman therapist Doc Samson is gone, they ask Jessica Jones to talk to him. He opens up to her and they talk about many of the things that have been troubling him including his parents, but he keeps his concerns about his fellow students and the academy itself private.[4]
When Korvac returns, Reptil and his fellow studies are placed into future versions of their bodies to fight him by Korvac's estranged lover, Carina. After Korvac is defeated, Reptil finds himself trapped in his older body.[5] On a day trip to New York, the students run afoul of Arcade, during which Reptil meets Spider-Girl, and they quickly become friends.[6] Spider-Girl attends Academy's "prom night". When she tells him that she liked him the way he was, Reptil suddenly reverts to his teenage body. Later, Reptil's brain is switched with his future self, to try to make the future the same[clarification needed]. Turns out in the future, he is with Finesse and they have a child.[7]
Avengers Arena[edit]
As part of the Marvel NOW! event, Reptil is abducted alongside Mettle and Hazmat from the Academy by Arcade in the pages of Avengers Arena.[8] He is badly injured by a flame attack from an unknown assailant.[9] Hazmat and X-23 try to bring Reptil to the edge of quadrant 2 to get medical supplies for Reptil's burns. At that point, Reptil wakes up and Hazmat is overjoyed. When Hazmat and X-23 tell Reptil that Chase attacked him, Reptil clears Chase's reputation, saying that Deathlocket was the one who attacked him.[10] Reptil, Hazmat, and X-23 are still trying to get to the edge of Quadrant 2 for medical supplies. Reptil is finally feeling well enough to walk and shape-shift. Hazmat initially tells him not to expend the energy and that they will leave no one behind. Just then, Hazmat activates a cloud of smoke, engulfing the three. When the smoke dissipates, it's revealed that the smoke is trigger scent and X-23 goes feral, attempting to kill Hazmat and Reptil. Reptil shape-shifts into a Pterodactyl and evacuates Hazmat away from X-23.[11] Reptil turns into a sea dinosaur in order to hunt some sharks for him and Hazmat to dine upon. The remaining teenage heroes catch up to them and are invited to have shark steaks with them. Cullen Bloodstone confronts Reptil about their camping out on the beach while a war's going off elsewhere. Cammi interjects to agree with Cullen Bloodstone before saying she's heading out to either find Nico or avenge her. Reptil heads back to shake Hazmat out of her funk. The issue ends with everyone agreeing to go back out into Murderworld.[12] As chaos ensues in Murderworld, Anachronism attacks X-23 only to be attacked by Reptil.[13] As Hazmat is close to exploding, Reptil swims her out to sea so that the explosion can't harm anyone. The explosion causes everyone to stop fighting each other. When the surviving teenage heroes are rescued, Reptil is fished out of the water by a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. [14]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Reptil wears a crystallized bone medallion that allows him to take on the abilities of different dinosaurs just by thinking about them. He initially cannot fully transform into a complete dinosaur but can shape-shift various parts of his body into different dinosaur appendages like a tail to strike enemies, changing his arms into pterodactyl wings, or having claws like a Raptor. However, after briefly possessing the body of his future self in a fight against Korvac, he retains the ability to fully transform. He possesses the strength and ability of whatever dinosaur he is using and his skin always turns red and scaly whenever he uses his abilities.
Reptil also has some empathy abilities with dinosaurs. He can sense other reptiles, but he cannot control them or influence their behavior at this time.
His amulet is magical in nature and recently embedded itself into his chest. Not much is known about it except that it is not actually the source of his powers, but only the catalyst that allows him to use them.[4]
In other media[edit]
- Reptil first appears in The Super Hero Squad Show episode "To Err is Superhuman" voiced by Antony Del Rio as a child and by Carlos Alazraqui as an adult. Captain America brings him onto the team as its latest member. He does have some doubts after nearly being taken down by Abomination and the Wrecking Crew, but manages to overcome them to rescue Wolverine. In "A Brat Walks Among Us", he impresses Brynnie Bratton by changing his head into a T-rex's and back multiple times. He also does a play by play for the heroes and villains' struggles to claim Brynnie until Reptil claims her from Whirlwind. In "Night in the Sanctorum", it is revealed that he lives with his parents and his room is decorated with pictures of every superhero (except for Falcon). In "This Forest Green", he is talented at making a quesadilla dish called the Reptilla Quesadilla Supremos which he shows to Ms. Marvel. In "Tales of Suspense" Reptil plays golf with Wolverine against MODOK and Abomination. In "Mysterious Mayhem at Mutant Academy," Reptil accompanies Wolverine to Xavier Academy to meet the X-Men. At the same time, Ringmaster infiltrates the school and hypnotizes the X-Men into helping him find the Infinity Fractal. Reptil managed to break the hypnosis on the X-Men. Wolverine and Reptil don't know it yet, but Ringmaster's dowsing rod was later pointing toward Reptil's medallion meaning that his medallion could be a Fractal. This is confirmed in "This Al Dente Earth" where it turned out that Reptil's medallion was actually an Infinity Fractal sent through time. Reptil gives it up so that the Infinity Sword can be reforged. At the end of the episode, Reptil claims that he couldn't be a hero anymore until saying "Brachiosaurus tail" turned him into a full Brachiosaurus as Iron Man stated that Reptil's prolonged exposure to the Infinity Fractal caused Reptil to retain his powers. In "Too Many Wolverines," it is shown that Reptil goes to the same school as Amadeus Cho and Angelica Jones (who unbeknownst to Reptil at the time is actually Firestar).
Video games[edit]
- Reptil appears in the Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet voiced by Antony Del Rio. He and Spider-Man end up fighting Abomination when he gets his hands on the Reality Infinity Gem.
- Reptil is a playable character in Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, voiced by Antony Del Rio.
- Reptil appears in the Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat voiced by Antony Del Rio.
- Reptil is mentioned in the game Marvel: Avengers Alliance. It is stated in season two that he is one of the minor characters slain as part of the evolving plot by the group known as the Circle of Eight.
- It would appear that The Super Hero Squad Show exists within the mainstream Marvel Universe (Earth-616). In an issue of Avengers Academy, it is noted that none of the students are famous enough to be on cartoons, until Striker points out that Reptil is featured on a show.[15]

Any of CS would be great to know. Really research what you want to do as a designer and find out about those products would be best. Like for me I know Illustrator which I use to design book pages. Just depends on what you exactly want to do. Hope this helps!
posted over 3 years agoHey, try "After Effects", from Adobe. They teach this one in my university! It does great effects on videos.
posted over 3 years agoPhotoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator are the must-knows for graphic design. Though some designers use QuarkXpress instead of Indesign.
I've only dabbled in interactive design, but you'll need to know Flash very well, and After Effects and Premiere Pro would be good to know (though they're a huge pain to learn!).
posted about 3 years agoIt's good to start experimenting with different design programs. I know it might seem intimidating at first when you're not used to the interface of each program. Just keep playing around until you get the hang of it.
You should know that every design program has their own purposes. InDesign, illustrator, and Photoshop all deals with images, but they are used differently. InDesign is mostly used for making layouts and publishing printed items (the same goes for QuarkXpress). Illustrator is a vector based program, and photoshop is a pixel based program. It basically means they handle images differently. Those 3 softwares are basically the most essential tools you need when dealing with graphics.
Adobe After Effects and 3D Programs such as Autodesk Maya are really good if you want to create motion graphics. They can generate really cool moving images in 3D space. I'd say learn After Effects first because because you can use it for more general editing.
Good luck!

Martin moves to Millwall
Millwall have landed Dave Martin from Crystal Palace for an initial fee of £50,000.
Last Updated: 31/01/08 11:30pm
Millwall have landed Dave Martin from Crystal Palace for an initial fee of £50,000.
Martin becomes Kenny Jackett's seventh signing of the January transfer window and arrives on a deal that could rise to £100,000 - depending on appearances.
Millwall expressed their interest in the 22-year-old earlier this month, and have now secured their man on a two-and-a-half year contract.
Loading markets...
Jackett told the club's official website: "David will give the team pace and balance as a wide left-sided player and I expect him to go straight into the squad for Saturday's game against Doncaster."
Meanwhile, Stuart Green and Charlie Sheringham have had their contracts terminated by the club.

Yeah, that sort of thing could play quite nicely. The only worry I have is that - in general - the benefit of having an additional warm body on the battlefield is quite large. I'm not sure how often you'd choose to Augment this rather than just cast it (when it will probably chump a big attacker and - effectively - gain you that much life).
on 24 Feb 2011
You reckon? Many games an extra 1/1 is irrelevant, and in those cases it sits there in your hand being an unkillable Essence Warden (but at extra cost and only your stuff).

Ehhm, yeah, okay. I guess so. Atfer all, I guess I wouldn't chump on an Essence Warden if I could help it. |

A while ago I introduced you to Twiggy, our skittish Italian Greyhound. Well she's no longer the skittish type. Skittish was so five minutes ago she tells us. Now she's acting more like her full sized Greyhound cousins by being a total couch potato.
Especially now that I work from home and she's free from her exercise pen during the day. Her main agenda item for the day is making sure to find a nice sunbeam to lay in as evidenced in this photo taken today.
She works very hard to stay in the sunbeam as evidenced by this photo taken two days ago.
I'm trying to get her to pull her own weight around the house. She eats, sleeps, pees, and poos but doesn't give anything back. So I tried to get her to write some code for me while I went to get a drink, figuring I could give the client a discount for work she does, but this is how I found her when I got back. Lazy dog.

The reasons that python didn't run on parrot weren't technical. This is a shame, because the technical issues are the easiest to fix. The issues that caused python to not run on parrot are important, however, as they will potentially get in the way of other languages running on Parrot.

Just like the existing "physical" units ought to work according to the spec, AIUI, although the majority of implementations have departed from this. It is of course fundamentally impossible for "true" or "physical" units to be accurately realized in all contexts; e.g., the case where a laptop is "mirrored" to a projector, so the same pixels are displayed on both, but at dramatically different sizes. Here, one of the displays - I assume the laptop - must be considered the "canonical" one for which physical units are correctly calibrated; the other is simply a zoomed projection of this. (I'd expect projectors in general to be treated in this way, even if there doesn't happen to be a "normal" screen mirroring the projected display.) > As far as I can tell, when Web content is displayed so that the display surface is further away from the user than a typical desktop screen, it's useful to make "physical" units relative to CSS px such that 1in equals 96px, since at distances further than user's reach, physical measurements of the display surface are irrelevant and only viewing angles matter. Sure. So the "physical" units need to stretch so as to preserve the viewing angle - just as, for content displayed much closer to the user (think of a display built into a helmet), they need to shrink. This is why no "normal" content should be using true physical units. It may be convenient for some designers to express things in terms of points, cm, or inches, in the context of a typical computer display or a printed page, but I'm suggesting that ALL those units should be scaled together according to display size/viewing distance. What I dislike is the suggestion to treat "pt" differently from "in" or "mm" in this regard. The proposed "true" units should never be used for any such content (and the nice thing about this, compared to defining *some* of the existing "physical" units as "truly physical" and others as "px-related", is that we can be confident NO existing content is using them). The "true" units are only useful for material - such as specific pieces of an application's interface - that is targeted at a known display size or similar context, not for Web content in general.

Fire Threat Eases in Southern Utah after Flames Nearly Encircle Two Towns
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Overnight rain and lower temperatures helped give firefighters the upper hand on two huge fires that had threatened three separate communities in southwest Utah.
Fire officials said Sunday that an 18,368-acre (7,347-hectare) group of fires 12 miles (19 kilometers) north of St. George was 70 percent contained. About 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of the city, a group of seven fires that had burned into one covering more than 22,800 acres (9,120 hectares) was 65 percent contained.
Together, the fires had formed almost a complete ring around 50 homes in Dammeron Valley and the towns of Veyo and Gunlock. The threat level for those communities was eased Sunday, U.S. Forest Service fire information officer David Chevalier said.
''Veyo and Gunlock and Dammeron Valley still have active fires burning in and around them, but we have resources there to defend their property,'' Chevalier said.
Fire crews were stationed in each town, with hoses spread along streets as a precaution, he said.
Spotty, mostly light rain fell in the area during the night, the National Weather Service said.
''The relative humidity is also up and that helps us too, however we have three days of sunshine ahead of us and things will dry out again pretty fast,'' Chevalier said.
In central Arizona, a 71,600-acre (29,000-hectare) wildfire near the town of Punkin Center was winding down, thanks to rain, higher humidity and lighter wind, officials said Sunday. The fire was 60 percent contained and full containment was expected Monday morning.
No houses were threatened and residents who had been asked to evacuate about 350 homes in the Punkin Center area had already been allowed to return.
Elsewhere, 11 homes had been evacuated from a forested area of northeast Wyoming as hot, dry wind stymied efforts to contain a cluster of lightning-caused fires, authorities said Sunday. Other residents in the area east of Sundance were told to be ready to evacuate on 30 minutes' notice.
The fires, which were only 5 percent contained, had charred 1.5 square miles (4 square kilometers) of mainly ponderosa pine in the Black Hills National Forest, which straddles the Wyoming-South Dakota line.

No descriptions found. This no-nonsense guide delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. The author reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself, providing answers to such questions as: Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change? Why do men take nice girls for granted? Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself? She helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry in the relationship--you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort.--From publisher description.… (more) |

Auctioning .art: New domains could sell for tens of millions in the summer of the dot
Top-level domain auction house Cramton Associates created a word cloud to visually represent the domains with the most applications. Cramton Associates
How Add3's tech-savvy trio grew their search engine marketing firm

Great art has always been valuable, but the word "art" itself may never have been more valuable than it will be this summer.
The right to distribute some of the most attractive new "top-level domains," including website addresses ending in .art and .sale, could soon be auctioned off for upwards of tens of millions of dollars each.
The agency charged with overseeing the names used in internet addresses, the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, is preparing to release hundreds of new names this summer at a pace of about 20 per week starting in August.
The new domains will include .law and .team among others.
Companies with trademark considerations will have first dibs on certain domains to help prevent digital "squatting" on valuable real estate. For example, Ford will be able to buy Ford.car before a member of the public can.
But before ICANN makes them available, it must first resolve conflicts between companies that applied for the same names. Companies that applied for their own brands, like .Microsoft and .Google, automatically won the rights to those names (although Amazon is currently trying to work things out with South American governments over ownership of .Amazon). But when more than one group applied for a more generic word, like .media or .phone, it is likely that word will go to an auction.
The Bellevue, Washington-based company Donuts was the largest applicant for new names, applying to be a distributor for 307 top-level domains, some of which will go online this summer.
Donuts raised the largest venture capital round in the region last year and one of the largest in the nation, bringing in $100 million to finance the $56.8 million in application fees it paid for the domain applications. The company recently raised another round of investments in preparation for the coming auctions.

OK, I know very few people will care aside from me; but anyways, I've been listening to "Greenfield Morning I Pushed An Empty Baby Carriage All Over the City" (from the Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band LP) which closes with some bird sound effects. And I just now realized that the bird FX were EXACTLY the same as the ones used at the end of "Good Morning Good Morning"! Meaning that the exact same EMI sound effects LP was used in both recordings!
Which I guess isn't really surprising, after all, since both "Sgt. Pepper" and "Plastic Ono Band" were recorded in the same studio after all. But it's kinda neat.

I wonder... if John had had mangoes instead of LSD... the song would be.. Mango in the Sky with Diamonds???
14 December 2009

23 January 2011
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just thought I'd add my two cents . While I don't think Yoko was the reason the Beatles broke up, I do believe her presence in John's life exacerbated the tensions already present in the band.
I have a little trouble with the "we should like her because John loved her" typical response I usually see to this question. The reason for that is that I'm not completely sure John was totally happy with her by the end. I know we've all seen the Double Fantasy promotional photos and listened to the album, but there are plenty of reports that they were not at their most stable during this time, with John spending the majority of his time in Apt. 72 and Yoko in Studio One, hardly ever seeing one another. I think they knew good PR when they saw it. Sure, she influenced some of John's work, but in my opinion, John's partnership with Paul produced his best work. Also, Walls and Bridges is one of my favorites of John's, and Yoko wasn't around for the making of it.
Also, Yoko has this thing about revisionist history when it comes to John's life. It's like she sometimes totally forgets he had a life outside of her and his peace activism (which only lasted a few years and which John later called naive). She helps push the "plastic dashboard Jesus John" that I am quoting from another site (Peter Doggett's blog). There are also many, many reports of her blocking calls to John from people such as Paur, other friends, and worst of all Julian, though this could be on John's request...who knows? Also, she likes to pretend (as did John, in later years) that John was miserable in their 18 months apart, which according to many people, he was not. He got back in touch with friends, with Julian, with his creativity.
Finally, before I say this I want to make perfectly clear that I do not think Yoko should have spent these past 30 years alone. I really despise the fact that Yoko has said many times that she will never be able to be with another person again or that she is desperately lonely (see Peter Doggett's blog) when in fact she had a companion (allegedly Sam Havadtoy) for about 20 years, beginning a few months after John's death. I am not saying that she shouldn't have been with him. I am saying that she shouldn't pretend that she wasn't with him...it's not really any of our business, unless she brings it up...which she did to Peter Doggett. Also, I think I read somewhere one time that she said something about how she couldn't have married so quickly after John's death as Paul did after Linda's death (have no reference for this, so I can't remember if the wording is exactly right). I find that to be really hypocritical.
She loves to spread the concept of "peace," but I don't think she is the most peaceful person herself. IDK, I could be wrong, but that's just my impression from reading things about her. I have read her twitter stuff, and she even answered one of my questions, but her answers seem really naive to me sometimes. Peace can't be achieved just because we think about with all our might. It just doesn't work that way. Peace begins at home, with small things, and if the people around you comment a lot on your negativity (of course, some could be lying, but where there's smoke, there's generally fire), you aren't bringing peace to your home.
I sometimes hate the effect she had on John, but then I realise John was a grown person. If he was manipulated by her, he allowed himself to be manipulated.
Oh...and one more thing...I just can't get the image of a distraught 17 year old Julian traveling to NYC without his mother, who I am sure he needed desperately at the time, when John was killed, all because Yoko and Cynthia "aren't exactly old school friends." Heartless, much??
And I hate her music...and I guess I'm not "sophisticated" enough to get her art. Conceptual stuff was never my cup of tea, and a $200 apple is ridiculous.
19 September 2010
Kedame - I tend to agree with most of what you say, though I think whether or not she chooses to lay her personal life on the line is entirely up to her. She and McCartney for years wound each other up with petty jibes in the press, so the comments about Paul remarrying aren't so surprising.
Yep, her Twitter stuff is grade-A BS, but then you can draw a direct line from it right back to Grapefruit. It's the people who take it seriously you have to worry about.
As for the comments to Cynthia, I can understand where she's coming from. They were said just hours after John had died, and she probably didn't want his ex-wife to be hanging around with years of emotional baggage. I'm sure she didn't really want Julian there either, but recognised it might be diplomatic to make a concession. Either way, Cynthia could have travelled to NYC and stayed in a hotel if she'd really wanted to accompany her son.
23 January 2011
I'm definitely not saying she should lay her personal life on the line, but when SHE is the one who brings it up, the one who mentions how she could never be with another person or whatever, THEN and only then is it hypocritical of her. I could care less that she had a relationship with Sam Havadtoy...that is her business, but she shouldn't lay on the "woe is me...I'll never love again," shtick. It gets old when you know it isn't true.
About Julian in NYC...I still find it cruel of her. That she wouldn't want him there, as Joe suggests, baffles me. I know they didn't have a funeral/memorial service, but I think family needs that kind of closure that comes with being together and mourning their loved one. Julian was a part of John...he had as much right to be at any of the services as Yoko and Sean. It would have killed me to not have been able to go to my dad's funeral when I was a kid...I couldn't imagine someone wanting to keep a kid from that.
I guess with the whole Paul thing- I like him so much that I usually side with him on things. It's a character flaw, and I know it. hehehe.
As you can tell, I'm kind of conflicted about Yoko. I don't want to dislike her, but there are only so many times you can explain away some of her behavior. Maybe as a newer fan, I'm just still a little sensitive to some of it.
14 April 2010
kedame - first of all, welcome to the Forum.
Second, your posts above were very well written. I share your feelings of confliction toward Yoko (see my post #179 in this same thread as proof).
Like you, I really don't blame her for the breakup and certainly don't want to dislike her. That wouldn't exactly be promoting peace would it?
But man, sometimes...
I'll be looking forward to more of your contributions to other topics. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

True, but not anoying all the other Beatles :P I think youve had enough mangos.... I wonder wat George does smell like.... eh probly mango's now that youve handled him hehe
1 May 2010
Oh the other Beatles don't mind about me hugging George a lot. *ahem*
And George smells like Indian scents mixed with mangoes. LOL!!
OK I have to stop NOW!
Re: Yoko and Julian. I dunno. I feel partial to Julian because I'm a fan of his music. He definetly got some bs in his life from his Dad and his stepmom, but he seems to be now over it.
But I can't say that Yoko is an awfull stepmom (even if she truly was an AWFUL stepmom) because I would be biased by my own situation, my Dad has a long relationship with a lady and I talk to her only if I have to. It's not that I hate her. She's just not my Mom. That's why I feel identified with Julian in a way, I felt abandoned by my parents when I was a kid, even if I wasn't really physically abandoned by him. Now I get their situation.
What I try to say is that I don't bash Yoko that easily because I don't know the situation. If others do that's fine with me. Julian has done it and he knows better. I wonder how much we project our personal family issues with the Lennons drama.

text: 1st, I dont know alot about systems. My livingroom is 23 x 18 x 10, and I was thinking of getting the energy take classic 5.1 system amd match it with either a marantz nr1403 receiver or sony str-dn1030. Again, not knowing much, I dont know if these speakers would be too small for my large livingroom or would I be ok or is there a better reasonably price system under 1000, that would be better. thanks in advance.
