Bendahara (Jawi: بنداهارا) is an administrative position within classical Malay kingdoms comparable to a vizier before the intervention of European powers during the 19th century. A bendahara was appointed by a sultan and was a hereditary post. The bendahara and the sultan shared the same lineage.
Tasks of the Bendahara[edit]
The closest post which is comparable to the post of the vizier as the Malay kingdoms are Islamic kingdoms. As the bendahara is the head of the nobility, the status confers certain responsibility. The bendehara is the backbone of the Malay Sultanate. For the ancient kingdom of Malacca and Johor, there are many tasks and responsibilities but the primary ones are:
- coronation and installation the Sultan
- responsibility of the welfare of the Sultan.
- adviser to his majesty on affairs of the state basing on Sharia and Adat (Prevailing norms and values)
- responsibility of the Royal marriage, birth and funeral
- responsibility of the royal succession if the Sultan dies without any heir
- acting as a vicegerent if the Sultan is still young
- acting on any command of the Sultan.
Legitimacy of the Sultan lies with the bendahara. The bendahara always consult the other nobles before arriving at a decision. The bendahara and nobles do this for the well-being of the subjects and is essential if there are problems in the state. These tasks are more extensive than any vizier or the modern prime minister.
The involvement of the British and the Dutch in the administration of the Malay States and the subsequent independence of Malaysia and Indonesia has reduced the Bendehara to a symbolic title only.
In modern times, it is typical to render the position as prime minister. Though a bendahara's duties are similar to that of a prime minister's, the two terms are not interchangeable. One clear difference is the amount of power held by the two positions. In ancient times, the bendahara was typically the highest-ranking official after the sultan but the sultan retained ultimate authority. The sultan was not answerable to the bendahara, or to anyone else for that matter. The sultan was not just a constitutional monarchy like the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in contemporary Malaysia where the Prime Minister holds effective political power.
Though it is unclear when the title was first used, the Sultanate of Malacca had several influential bendaharas. The most famous is Tun Perak. Under Tun Perak's service which spanned several sultans, Malacca reached its height in the late 15th century. According to the Malay Annals and the Hikayat Hang Tuah, the bendahara secretly saved the life of Hang Tuah, a laksamana the sultan had ordered killed.
In 1612, Bendahara Tun Sri Lanang of the Sultanate of Johor was commissioned by Sultan Alauddin Riaayat Shah of Johor to compile Malay history and record it into a book. The book was known as Sulalatus Salatin and later known as Sejarah Melayu, an important literary piece in Malay language history. In 1699, Bendahara Abdul Jalil became Sultan Abdul Jalil IV of Johor after the previous sultan, Mahmud Shah II was murdered, leaving no heir behind. After the rule of Sultan Abdul Jalil IV, the bendahara was awarded Pahang as his personal fief. Bendahara Tun Abbas and his descendents ruled Pahang continuously until Tun Mutahir, who was deposed in a civil war in 1863.
The current Terengganu sultanate was founded by Sultan Zainal Abidin I of Terengganu in 1708. He was the son of Tun Habib Abdul Majid, a 17th-century bendahara of Johor.
Bendaharas of Malacca and Johore[edit]
- Tun Perpatih Muka Berjajar, Bendahara
- Tun Perpatih Tulus, Bendahara of Malacca
- Raden Bagus, Bendahara of Malacca
- Raden Anum, Bendahara Sri Amar DiRaja, Bendahara of Malacca
- Tun Perpatih Sedang, Bendahara Sri Wak Raja, Bendahara of Malacca
- Tun Perpatih Putih, Bendahara Paduka Tuan, Bendahara of Malacca
- Tun Perak, Bendahara Paduka Raja, Bendahara of Malacca
- Tun Mutahir, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Malacca
- Tun Tepok, Bendahara Paduka Tuan, Bendahara of Malacca
After the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese, the Malacca Sultanate was succeeded by the Johore Sultanate.
- Tun Khoja, Bendahara Paduka Raja, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Biajid, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Mahmud, Bendahara Tun Narawangsa, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Isap Misai, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Sri Lanang, Bendahara Paduka Raja, Bendahara of Johore. He was captured by the Achenese forces and opted to remain in Acheh.
The following Bendaharas were sidelined by the palace following the rise of Laksamana Paduka Tuan:
- Tun Anum, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Mat Ali, Bendahara Paduka Tuan, Bendahara of Johore
- Tun Rantau, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Johore. He was captured by the Jambi forces.
- Tun Habib Abdul Majid, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara Padang Saujana, restored the position of the Bendahara in the palace.
- Tun Abdul Jalil, Bendahara Paduka Raja, became Sultan Abdul Jalil IV of Johor, following the death of Sultan Mahmud II. The Temenggung branch of the dynasty still rules the Malaysian state of Johor today.
- Tun Abbas, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Bendahara of Johore and Pahang
After the succession of Sultan Abdul Jalil IV in Johor, the Bendahara were granted Pahang as a personal fief. Thereafter the Bendahara of Johor were known as the Bendahara in Pahang. They are also known as "Raja Bendahara" for their status as the rulers of Pahang as a vassal state of the Johore Sultanate.
Bendahara in Pahang[edit]
- Tun Abdul Majid, Raja Bendahara Pahang I (1777–1802)
- Tun Muhammad, Raja Bendahara Pahang II
- Tun Koris, Bendahara Paduka Raja, Raja Bendahara Pahang III (1803–1806)
- Tun Ali, Bendahara Siwa Raja, Raja Bendahara Pahang IV (1806–1847)
- Tun Mutahir, Bendahara Seri Maharaja, Raja Bendahara Pahang V (1847–1863). He was the last reigning Raja Bendahara of Pahang. He was ousted by his brother Wan Ahmad, who was later proclaimed as Sultan of Pahang after the dismemberment of the Johore Empire.

What is Genji Press, exactly?
Genji Press is the personal publishing imprint for Serdar Yegulalp, an ægis that I use for books of my own creation. Since I'm discovering that most of what I want to write and publish centers around Japan or Asia / the Far East in general, I chose a name and an image (the Genji clan crest) that seemed fitting.
Everything that is published through Genji Press is my own creation — not just the writing, but also the artwork, typesetting, layout, the whole package.
Go here for a quick rundown of what I have in print right now.
Why did you start doing this?
I started Genji Press for a few reasons:
With the advent of print-on-demand publishing, it's become not only possible but easy for me to make all this happen at minimal cost to myself. I can sell individual copies and still make a profit, although I do make a bit more if I manage to sell in volume.
Will your books be available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the Kindle store, etc.?
Yes, depending on the editions. E-books have taken off to such a degree that I've decided to start marketing my newer work directly as e-books, with print editions as an adjunct via print-on-demand services.
What happened to thegline.com?
That was my old domain name. Over time I decided to phase it out, as the name really didn't tell people what I was all about (among other things). thegline.com will continue to transparently redirect here for the time being.
Can I get in touch with you directly?
Aside from leaving comments here, you can write to me at:
Serdar Yegulalp, c/o Genji Press
Box 854
Huntington, NY 11743 USA
[If you have other questions, don't hesitate to post them here so I can add them to the FAQ.]
Hi Serdar,
A few years ago, a friend of mine pointed me to an essay you wrote on Objectivism. The link he gave me was http://www.thegline.com/thought/2001/05-11-2001.htm which is not available from this website.
I have been meaning to re-read that essay, so if you do not mind, and still do have a copy of that essay would you send me a copy or post it up?
Thanks so much!
I've gotten more comments about that screed than almost anything else I've written, which is a little depressing -- it was mainly a knee-jerk hatchet job, and I've seen other and better dissections of Rand's cult of reason since. I should see if I can dig it up and repost it, and maybe also provide a parallel reworking of it that isn't quite so unwarrantedly venomous!
Hello! I saw your stuff at AnimeNext this past weekend. My fiance and I loved "The Four Day Weekend" and want to get the full story. You mentioned that if we bought the exerpt at the convention, we might be able to get a discount on the volume online. I think you'd run out of them.
How would I go about doing this?
You've already set the wheels in motion! If you have PayPal, I can simply invoice you for the remaining $10 and send you a copy when they're back in stock (as I'm fresh out and have to reorder).

I am looking for a program that will allow me to pull or encode a full HD audio stream, both DTS-MA and TrueHD, from BD to an mkv in 264 and also to embed subtitles into the video track as well. I was looking at using staxrip, but I haven't seen anything about it hardcoding subtitles into the movie. I know ripbot does, but it wont handle full HD audio. Am I best off just using staxrip and then using something like BDsub2sup (is that the correct program?) to find the forced sub (star wars, lotr, and the new mission impossible have been giving me a headache) and forcing it on the video with ripbot then muxing in the HD stream?
I've heard about ClownDB and eac3to, but don't know anything about them. For everyday ripping without subs I would prefer to use something streamlined and user friendly to compress the video and the HD stream. So I'll probably stick with staxrip unless there is a better that anyone can recommend.

Debbie's Green Envy Juice
I made this juice up today, when I wanted to have something green, refreshing, and use up my kale. Measurements are not exact, so add or take away what you desire to make this green envy your own. I added the juice to a tall glass of purified ice cubes…and saved the pulp to make crackers later in the dehydrator.
3-5 Kale Leaves
3-5 Kale Leaves
3-5 Kale Leaves
3-5 Spinach Leaves
3-5 Sprigs Parsley
1-2 Medium Carrots
2 Stalks Celery with leaves
3-5 Spinach Leaves
1 Red Delicious Apple with skin
Splash of Lemon Juice
3-5 Spinach Leaves
Purified Water
Place all ingredients in blender. You may have to split it in half, so you don't jam your blender. Cover with purified water about 1/4 to 1/2 way. Blend until creamy. Add more water—about a 1-2 cups more. Pour ingredients into a nut milk bag or strainer. Push juice out into a bowl. Push as much as possible, until the pulp starts to appear a little "dry". Pour juice over ice, or serve at room temperature. Save the pulp to use in other recipes for later.
Mmm good…very delicious!

If something sounds too crazy to be true without substantial evidence to back it up, it probably is. I take everything I read on the Internet with a very fine grain of salt.
Sorry, I was scrolling up and down the page, got distracted, and copied the answer from the wrong question. Here's what they say:
"How will you replace damaged panels in a highway?
Since our system is modular, repair will be much quicker and easier than our current maintenance system for asphalt roads. We've learned that in the U.S., over $160 billion is lost each year in lost productivity from people sitting in traffic due to road maintenance.
Each of the panels contain their own microprocessor, which communicates wireless with surrounding panels. If one of them should become damaged and stop communicating, then the rest of the panels can report the problem. For instance, "I-95 mile marker 114.3 northbound lane, third panel in, panel number A013C419 not responding".
Each panel assembly weighs 110-pounds. A single operator could load a good panel into his/her truck and respond to the scene. The panel could be swapped out and reprogrammed in a few minutes. The damaged panel would then be returned to a repair center. Think of how this compares to pot hole repair!"
The government borrows money from itself all the time. Not a big deal, especially if this is rolled out over a few decades. And clearly, I was exaggerating the amount to make a point.
We just spent $4 trillion on a couple of wars over 10 years. Where there is a will to find the money, there is a way.
They address this on their website:
"What are you going to do about traction? What's going to happen to the surface of the Solar Roadways when it rains>
Everyone naturally pictures sliding out of control on a smooth piece of wet glass! Actually, one of our many technical specs is that it be textured to the point that it provides at least the traction that current asphalt roads offer - even in the rain. We hesitate to even call it glass, as it is far from a traditional window pane, but glass is what it is, so glass is what we must call it.
We sent samples of textured glass to a university civil engineering lab for traction testing. We started off being able to stop a car going 40 mph on a wet surface in the required distance. We designed a more and more aggressive surface pattern until we got a call form the lab one day: we'd torn the boot off of the British Pendulum Testing apparatus! We backed off a little and ended up with a texture that can stop a vehicle going 80 mph in the required distance."
Not sure how true or relevant this is but they do address it.
Cost doesn't matter if they pay for themselves. "If" being the operative word here. But if it's true, it makes no difference how much more expensive they are than asphalt.
Even if they do cost more than asphalt after factoring in the electricty they produce, how do you place a cost on avoiding all the human misery that will come about from climate change?
Let's exaggerate the cost $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Let's also say at the end they pay for themselves and then some. You could take out a loan to pay for them and pay the money back with the energy they produce. So does cost really matter if, in fact, they pay for themselves?
That is, in fact, their plan.
Read about it on the "Vision" page of their website: http://www.solarroadways.com/v...

QUESTIONS FOR GREGORY JAY Could lubricin stop OA in damaged joints? Researchers from Brown and Rhode Island Hospital have shown that joint fluid lacking in a protein called lubricin fails to adequately lubricate joints. That lack of lubrication leads to increased friction in the joint and eventually to the death of cartilage cells. The work also shows that lubricin protects cartilage and could serve as a means to reduce the risk or even prevent osteoarthritis.

Opening night is upon the cast, and the actors will use what little remains of their rehearsal time to iron out the subtleties of timing, play with slight changes in positioning and test variations on the intonation of their lines. Adjunct associate professor of theater Dean Packard operates the lighting board, splashing light blue, rouge and gold across the stage.
The MU Department of Theatre kicks off its 76th summer repertory season on Thursday with a performance of "The Drowsy Chaperone." Also featured are an adaptation of Mark Twain's "Is He Dead?" and two special performances of "Comedies-in-Concert."
Black, a theater professor, is directing David Ives' adaptation of "Is He Dead?" The play takes place at an artist's collective in Barbizon, France, and is a fictionalized caper involving French painter Jean-François Millet.
Dani Mann plays Cecile Leroux, the girlfriend of Chicago, a member of Millet's inner circle. She described her character as high maintenance.
"She is a young, jealous French woman," Mann said. "She gets so jealous of her boyfriend that she wants to sneak on him. Dresses up as a man."
The relationship between Leroux and Chicago provides a unique comedic dynamic, Mann said. Chicago, the only American character in the play, plays the role of the plotter and the driving force of the story, she said.
Mann got involved in Summer Rep Theatre through Performing Arts in Children's Education (PACE), a Columbia youth theater group. When she entered MU, she realized that the theater department had an abundance of interesting directors, she said. She met Black this past summer when the pair worked on a production of "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure."
Black chose "Is He Dead?" in part because the play was written by Twain. She explained the importance of the Missouri connection and of Twain's "signature vocabulary and way of writing, his wit and his expressions" as a source of the comedy's charm.
"It's so ironic," Black said. "The premise is that an artist is never appreciated until after he's dead, and now here's this play that Twain wrote in 1898 and was never produced until long after he was dead, until 2007, in fact."
Jim Miller, a theater professor, is directing "The Drowsy Chaperone." The musical comedy is a satire of life in the 1920s. Jazz Age stereotypes such as the urban gangster, the pompous Broadway type and the buffoonish Latin lover are a few of the targets of ridicule, he said.
"It's so silly that it breaks the fourth wall," Miller said, referring to an imaginary barrier between the audience and the cast.
Alluding to the comic dynamic popularized by venerable vaudevillians George Burns and Gracie Allen, Miller said he expected the brand of humor to make audience members groan, then laugh.
Miller was particularly enthusiastic about the performances of students Palma and Tori Stepanek. Miller has several decades of theater experience at MU, including instructing a young Jon Hamm in productions of "Cabaret" and "Assassins."
"It's a great experience to have the opportunity to play characters you wouldn't in a professional setting," Palma said during the break in rehearsal. "I happen to be cast multiple times as the villain, antagonist."
Actor Bill Dew weighed in. "You have a very strong voice," he said.
Palma looked thoughtful. "I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to play the straight lead," he said. "I like to be the villain. The villain provides conflict. If there is no conflict, there is no story."
Both directors chose cheery comedies for their broad appeals and family-friendly natures. For Miller and Black, opening night is a chance to step back from the technical intricacies of directing and to take in the action on stage as well as the audience reaction.
Many actors in this summer's performances, including Palma, Dew, Gina Drapela and Connor Relyea, are cast in both shows. Dew plays three separate roles in "Is He Dead?" and the character Man in Chair in "The Drowsy Chaperone." The latter character is the de facto narrator and is on stage for almost all of the performance.
"He is a bit of a recluse who plays out these musicals in his head," said Dew, referring to Man in Chair's hallucinatory appearance. The character often breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly into the audience and inevitably drawing them partially into the play.
David Crespy's "Comedies-in-Concert" series employs a distinctly different approach. "The Drowsy Chaperone" and "Is He Dead?" are full-stage productions, but the two plays overseen by Crespy will be read, rehearsed and performed on the same day.
The cast will gather at 9 a.m. to read the final draft of the script until noon. After lunch, they will spend about three hours staging the play as Crespy offers advice on details, such as how a character should enter or exit a scene. After a brief respite to allow the actors to eat, drink and be human, the play begins.
"Somewhere around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we're all out of our minds and can't believe we're doing this, but at 7, we go on stage," Crespy said. "And every audience has loved it."
MU undergraduate student Julia Plant wrote "Orange Fly's." This satire based on her experiences as a waitress will run July 15. "The Short Knight" was written by MU alumnus Chad Parmenter and inspired by the suspenseful style of Alfred Hitchcock. It will be performed on July 22.
With very few formal dramatic effects such as props or costumes, audiences for "Orange Fly's" and "The Short Knight" will rely on what Crespy calls "theater of the imagination."
"Actors love the fact that we put this thing together in a single day," Crespy said. "It's an exhilarating experience and an exhausting experience."
The "Comedies-in-Concert" performances are dark comedies geared toward older audiences. Crespy advocated viewer discretion. "These are adult plays," he said. "Don't bring the little people."

US 6512461 B1 Abstract An improved method for programming a vehicle remote entry receiver includes transmitting the information over the vehicle data bus line. A diagnostic box which is typically utilized to check the electrical systems on the vehicle is provided with a switch that moves the vehicle receiver into a programming mode. Information with regard to the transmitters that are to be associated with the vehicle receiver may then be transmitted over the bus line to the receiver. Alternatively, the receiver itself may capture the transmitter signals.

said receiver, communicating with a remote entry system, said receiver being operable to receive a signal over a communication line to enter a programming mode, information relative to a transmitter which is to be associated with said receiver also being passed over said communication line to said receiver while said receiver is in said programming mode such that a direct connection is provided to supply the information to said receiver over said communication line.
Description This invention relates to a unique method of teaching transmitter codes to a receiver, such as a remote vehicle door entry receiver, wherein the codes are transmitted to a receiver directly over the communication bus line in the vehicle. Vehicle door remote entry systems are becoming increasingly popular. Originally, these systems utilized any one of a relatively small number of fixed identification (i.d.) codes. Thus, the receiver and transmitter could be quickly and easily taught corresponding codes in a bulk programming method where many receivers were taught the same transmitter. However, this fixed code system has some undesirable security features. When there are only a small number of available codes, then the possibility of a criminal entering a vehicle by using a like transmitter is greatly increased. For that reason it has become desirable to manufacture transmitters which contain ID codes that have been randomly generated, when used with such transmitters, the receiver must �learn� the actual ID codes so that it will know which transmitters belong to the system. Each transmitter has the identification code, which is comprised of several bytes of information, programmed within its own software. Presently, the known method of programming the receiver includes providing a series of complicated signals based on actuation of vehicle switches to tell the receiver to enter a programming mode. The receiver then receives and stores the signal from the transmitter. Once the receiver has completed the programming mode, it is able to recognize the dedicated transmitters that have been associated with the receiver. One difficulty with this system is that the procedure for signalling the receiver to enter the programming mode is relatively complex. The signals cannot be simple, or the operator may accidentally move the receiver into the programming mode. Thus, it is typical that the manufacturer of the receiver and transmitter systems would perform the manipulation of the system, since it is complex, to put the receiver in the programming mode. The programmed security system is then transported to the vehicle manufacturer for assembly into a vehicle. In many cases, the receiver is incorporated into a junction block for the vehicle, which is provided by a second automotive supplier. Thus, the remote entry system receiver must first be programmed, then sent to the second supplier, and incorporated into the junction block. The assembled junction block is then transported to the vehicle supplier. With this procedure, the particular transmitters must be maintained with the receiver. To this end, assemblers have typically bundled the transmitter with the receiver. As an example, the transmitters may be taped or otherwise attached to the receiver body during shipment. Once the receiver is associated with the vehicle, the transmitters are stored in the vehicle, often being placed in the glove compartment. In the past, the transmitters have sometimes become misplaced. This presents a problem as the complex learning for the receiver must then be repeated. It is a desire of the final vehicle assembler to minimize any complications. The requirement of having to associate the transmitters with the receiver presents unwanted complications to the vehicle assembler. In a disclosed embodiment of this invention, the signal to place the receiver in programming mode is sent through a communication bus line associated with the vehicle system, after the receiver has been mounted onto the vehicle. A simple switching procedure is utilized to place the receiver in its programming mode, and the receiver is then taught the codes for the particular transmitters. With this method, the receivers need not be bundled with the transmitter until after the final vehicle assembly. Instead, transmitters may be selected at a late assembly line location and then programmed into the receiver. This reduces complications for the vehicle assembler. In one preferred embodiment, the diagnostic box, which is typically connected to the bus line to perform a final quality check of vehicle electrical systems, is utilized to send the receiver the signal to move into programming mode. The diagnostic box is preferably modified to include a start or program button that sends the signal. The diagnostic box is provided with a harness that is connected to the computer bus line. When testing is complete the box is disconnected and the vehicle component wire harness is attached to the bus line. In a preferred embodiment, the diagnostic box is also provided with its own receiver. The operator transmits a signal from a first transmitter to the diagnostic box receiver where it is captured and stored. Subsequent transmitter signals are also captured and stored at the diagnostic box receiver. Once all required signals have been captured, the diagnostic box sends the code over the communication bus line to the receiver. The diagnostic box is preferably provided with a series of prompt lights to assist the operator in performing these required steps in the proper sequence. With the diagnostic box based receiver, noise may be de-tuned from other machines on the assembly line, and from adjacent assembly lines, where programming of other receivers may be taking place. In one embodiment, the antenna associated with the receiver on the diagnostic box is made to only accept a signal from very close range. As an example, that antenna could be designed such that it would only accept a signal within a range of three feet. In this way, noise from adjacent machinery or assembly lines would not effect the transmission or reception of the signal. The same limited range may not be practical for the vehicle based receiver that is to receive the signal from the driver, and thus typically needs to function at a longer range. In a second embodiment, the diagnostic box does not include the receiver nor the prompt lights. Instead, the diagnostic box is provided only with the switch to initiate a programming signal. The operator actuates the switch and a signal is sent over the bus line to tell the receiver to enter a programming mode. The operator then transmits the codes directly to the vehicle mounted receiver in the ECU which captures and records the codes. Once programming is complete the diagnostic harness is disconnected. In addition, a junction box which may include the ECU for the vehicle communicates with the communication bus line to send and receive electrical signals to components and systems on the vehicle. The receiver for the remote vehicle door entry systems is incorporated into this junction box, and communicates with the bus line. The receiver is operable to receive a signal to enter a programming mode over the bus line. These and other features of the present invention can be best understood from the following specification and drawings, of which the following is a brief description. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a first embodiment of this invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of this invention. A system 20 is disclosed in FIG. 1 including a vehicle junction box 22 of electronic control unit which includes a vehicle door remote entry receiver 24. Receiver 24 may be as known in the industry, and is operable to receive a transmitter signal to determine whether the signal is acceptable and open or lock the vehicle doors in response to an acceptable signal. ECU 22 is provided with operational signals through a communication serial bus line 26. When the vehicle is fully assembled, communication bus line 26 is attached to wire harnesses 27, shown schematically, that send and receive signals from components and systems on the vehicle. As is known ECU 22 monitors and controls the several components and systems through the bus line. The receiver 24 is unique over the prior art in that it does communicate with the bus line 26, and is operable to receive a signal from the bus line 26 to enter a programming mode. This feature will be explained fully below. It is known to use communication bus line 26 in combination with a diagnostic box to check electrical systems prior to final release of the vehicle. The present invention modifies diagnostic box 28 such that it assists in the programming of the receiver 24. Diagnostic box 28 is shown having a line 30 which is selectively attached to the bus line 26 through a plug-in harness assembly. The diagnostic box 28 also preferably includes circuitry for testing other vehicle electrical systems. This portion of the diagnostic box is as known in the art, and forms no portion of this invention. Diagnostic box 28 has been modified to include an antenna 29 including a RF receiver 32, and a switch 34. Prompt signal lines 36, 38, 40 and 42 may also be associated with box 28. The lines 36, 38, 40 and 42 may include display lights on the face of the diagnostic box 28. Transmitters 44 and 46 are to be programmed such that each signal is recorded in the receiver 24. Transmitters 44 and 46 are preferably of the known type which include the identification codes that are individual for each transmitter. To accomplish programming with the inventive method, the diagnostic box harness 30 is first connected to bus line 26. The operator actuates switch 34 and diagnostic box 28 enters a programming mode. The first prompt line 36 prompts the operator to record the first transmitter. Transmitter 44 is then pointed at antenna 29, and a signal is transmitted and captured by receiver 32. Once the signal is properly received, the diagnostic box then actuates prompt line 38. Prompt 38 prompts the operator to record the second transmitter 46. The operator then points the transmitter 46 at antenna 29 and that signal is recorded. If the second signal is identical to the first, the system will determine that the operator has re-recorded the first transmitter, and the prompt 38 will continue to be lit signalling the operator to use another transmitter. Antenna 29 and receiver 32 may be detuned to only accept signals from a very short range, say less than 10 feet, or even less than 3 feet. In this way the system is not affected by noise in the vicinity of box 28. Prompt 40 is actuated once the second signal has been captured, indicating the system is programming. Once programming is complete, a programming complete light 42 is actuated. During programming, the signals are sent to receiver 24 over the bus line 26. The box shown in FIG. 1 graphically sketches the components of the signal sent to receiver 24. A first byte includes an identifier that the first transmitter code is now being transmitted. The next three bytes include the I.D. code for the first transmitter. Finally, a checksum byte for this first transmission signal is included, for a total of five bytes. As is known, a checksum provides information to a receiver about whether the combined digital signal should be an odd or even number. This provides the receiver with the ability to check the accuracy of the received signal. Once the first signal is received, the second transmitter signal then follows. The second transmitter signal is similar to the first. Once the second transmitter signal has been received, a signal is sent from receiver 24 to the diagnostic box 28 indicating that programming has been successfully completed. Prompt 42 is then lit. The operator may then disconnect harness 30 from bus line 26. Of course, other testing may continue with box 28. Also, box 28 may be constructed solely to perform programming. A second embodiment 50 is illustrated in FIG. 2. Diagnostic box 52 is still provided with a switch 54 to begin the programming mode at receiver 24. In this embodiment, only the single signal telling the receiver 24 to enter program mode is transmitted by box 52. The receiver 24 then enters the program mode. The operator then points the key fob transmitters 58 and 60 at the vehicle and transmits the signals. The receiver 24 records the signals and is then programmed. Of course, prompt lights could also be provided with this embodiment. In such a case the successful capture of a signal would be sent to box 52 from receiver 24. The present invention simplifies the programming of the receivers for vehicle door remote entry systems. By utilizing the communications bus, a more secure, and less difficult programming of the receiver is achieved. The specific electronics necessary to achieve the goals of these inventions are well within the skill of a worker in the art. While preferred embodiments of this invention have been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in the art would recognize certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention. Patent Citations

Vatican: Chilean priest guilty of abusing minors Santiago, Chile - A prominent Chilean priest whose sex abuse case was closed by a judge has been found guilty by the Vatican. The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith says Fernando Karadima is guilty of abusing minors and "must retire to a life of prayer and penitence." Friday's statement from the Vatican means Karadima can't meet with his former parishioners or other priests. Four men accused Karadima of sexually abusing them for years in a wealthy Santiago parish where he was a respected leader in Chile's Catholic church. The former archbishop didn't believe them, and a local judge closed the case, citing the statute of limitations. A prosecutor is appealing. Related Sections | Catholic |

World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books! Tens of thousands of people will share books with others in their communities across America, spreading the joy and love of reading on April 23rd.
Join Amoeba Hollywood as we distribute FREE paperback copies of the Ray Bradbury classic Fahrenheit 451 upon request. Just ask for your copy at the info counter on the main floor. Quantities will be limited, so it's first come, first served.
The internationally acclaimed Fahrenheit 451 is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Although it was written over half a century ago, this classic is incredibly relevant to modern culture and critical of our dependence on technology.
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television. When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.

I'm a woman, I roll female avatars exclusively. When I'm playing an MMO it's more enjoyable when I can immerse myself in what's going on, I think I'd find that very difficult playing the opposite gender. That said, I'm not a little put off by the wardrobes developers provide. For instance, I'd no sooner go into battle in a ball gown or bikini in a game than I would in real life. Most outfits provided in MMOs are simply absurd. For me, at least, the outrageous attire foisted on female avatars in most MMOs degrades the immersion I'm seeking. I don't really object to players rolling avatars of the opposite gender; I do object mightily to men who are playing female avatars, who subsequently come on to male players in game. It makes male players distrustful of all female players, and ultimately makes social interation for gendered females more difficult. Nowadays, except for combat specific interaction, I make very little effort to know fellow players because there're so many games going on beyond that envisioned by developers. This problem is pervasive enough to have spawned the widely believed myth that women don't play MMOs. It's right up there with the one that suggests only pimply faced, prepubescent boys play MMOs. Get my point? |
Hang on, just got to sort this zit. OK got it. :)
I play a male ALL the time .You do realize this is a ROLE PLAYING GAME genre,so to play a female is like saying you dream of being a female. Now if you are playing TWO or more players that is different,you obviously could never be both at the same time.It would be making a statement that you would like to role play a female and male together,more acceptable than a guy wishing he was a female. I have heard statements saying they rather look at a female character than a male,well then find a female friend to look at?Wel lexcept yo uwon't know if it is a female since so many guys playing female players. http://www.youtube.com/user/Napolianboo#p/u/15/rCYLLQCNc1w |
Originally posted by Wizardry Anybody playing anything at all should be acceptable. As long as they are not griefing or harming anyone with their actions, who cares. I'll always maintain that the primary, if not only people who have a problem in this area are inexperienced or really insecure males. The ones who don't really understand sex or sexuality yet so they are threatened easily. |
Originally posted by LoverNoFighter its getting harder and harder (no pun) to tell... this aint the Crying Games. this 2012. |
Originally posted by Wizardry another P.O.V. i dont care for role play, i play the game for the graphics, animations, for the collections for the sounds, and watching a male body / ass all the time looks gay to me |
Originally posted by LoverNoFighter I play both female and male chars. This is a Role Playing fantasy Game, not a Dating site. And I like the opportunity to role play various different characters and different genders too. I have no problem with it, I am perfectly secure with my masculinity and sexuality in RL. I do not want to make this sound stereotypical, but if you do consider yourself a Role Player you should not have any problem playing either gender, it only enriches the experience. |
Originally posted by Wizardry You are aware that there are actors who play opposite genders but who are straight? There are operas that are written where the character is male but the part is written for a female singer. One can adopt a role without wanting to dream about being the opposite sex. You might not be able to conceive of it but others can. I'll completely accept that if you would not be able to play the opposite sex. But I can also accept that others might be able to play a character of the opposite sex and still retain their gender identity at the end of the night. |
Originally posted by Wizardry You do realize, that Role Playing actually means, Playing various Roles, which are not limited by Gender. You do also realize that, your post can be interpreted as if you are scared to admit to your own secret desires and that is why you are being so adamant in showing that you play only male Characters ALL the time, thinking that no one will suspect you? You know what they say about people who are homophobic right? I do not want to go further, we could play with words and meaning all day, the moral of the story is this: You play play what you like, and you let people play what they like, and no one makes judgements of other's choices. Cheers! |
Good posts Sovrath and Suraknar, both put to words some of what I been tryign to say too.
I don't understand why if a dude thinks it is weird or lame that another dude is playing a chick... it makes him insecure. I personally would never play a female character because I simply don't see why I would. Why would I WANT to play a female character? I don't... so I don't. I have no problem with other dudes playing chicks, whatever floats your boat, however I do think it is strange. Though I remember talking about Dragon Age with a girlfriend of mine, she was obsessed with the game. While comparing our various characters she pointed out that I didn't have any female characters. After a long discussion she decided it was because I was sexist. Perhaps that is the MYSTERIOUS reason why some men are cool with playing female characters and some men are not. |
There is no right or wrong way to select a gender in a game and, unlike what some posters believe (perhaps by projecting) that choice is not character defining. In other words, looking solely at the avatar gender tells you nothing about the person behind it. When I was younger, the game avatars used to be my personal representation in the game world, a virtual extension of my own personality. Thus at that period I was playing exclusively males. It also makes me understand why people with this kind of mentality towards their own avatars would find people with different mentality weird. To them, if the avatar is not representative of your RL personality, it makes you phoney or it shows some aspect of your personality you are trying to hide. Now that I'm older and it's been more than a decade playing those games, I'm rather detached from the avatars I'm playing. They are no longer me. They are just interesting characters in a movie that I can affect. And in this interactive movie, I chose to have a protagonist that I'm more empathic about, which in my case is a female character. This has nothing to do with roleplaying, I don't roleplay a female. I control her actions and her fate and watch her progress in an interesting virtual world. The mentality towards avatars is quite different between the two approaches in gaming. I guess it is easier for young or new to the gaming people to associate themselves with their characters. Thing is, as long as the person next to you is not actively trying to con you into thinking he's something he's not, then his choice in character gender is as valid as yours. |
I'm male IRL but in online games I play an equal mix of both sexes. The decision of which sex to play usually depends entirely on the appearance of the genders of the race in question. For example, in WoW, most of the male avatars look like steroid abusing freaks, so I have a lot of female characters. On games such as AoC, where both sexes are equally decent looking, I tend to stick to male characters. |
OK. Easy one. Male because I am one. Some people out there use females to try and make people feel like trash...
If you ask my opinion I'd have to wait for my turn! :) |

David Fincher's Great New 'Gap' Ads Make Us Want to See Him Direct a Rom-Com
At some point between directing his hit movies (like The Social Network and the upcoming Gone Girl) and TV series (like House of Cards), David Fincher always finds time to put out a commercial or four. More recently the filmmaker reunited with his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara for a Calvin Klein ad, and now he returns with four fantastic TV spots for the Gap.
What's so great about these four short Gap ads (especially for fans of the director) is that we get to see a side of David Fincher we don't normally see in his movies. Light, sexy and playful, the spots delight in their retro-romantic sensibilities, to the point that we're now kinda jonesing to see Fincher tackle an offbeat romantic comedy for his next movie.
Check out all four spots below and let us know what you think. Additionally, there are some great behind-the-scenes anecdotes for each spot over at Mashable.
Which one of these people is in the movie Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb?

Ex Machina belongs in the success column of AI movies
Matthew Lickona 2:30 p.m., April 22
A hot mess. Iron Man 3 does what a third installment tends to do: revisit the themes of the first (personal failings giving rise to public disasters), make everything bigger and more complicated, and then deliver some kind of grand resolution. And while director Shane Black brings a manic energy to the franchise that more than matches star Robert Downey Jr.'s twitchy performance, it's not enough to overcome the lumbering bloat. Black is aiming to leave you dazzled, satisfied, and maybe just a little wiser; you're more likely to leave punch-drunk, exhausted, and maybe just a little puzzled. Lots of stuff happens in the film's world, but all that matters is what's going on inside Tony Stark: an existential crisis following a near-death experience in The Avengers. Everything else exists to help him get his groove back. Hooray for narcissism. With Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, and Don Cheadle. 2013.

Antic or Art Attack?
Im 6'1" 180 and i mostly ride all mountain and a little freestyle. I've made up my mind between the Ride Antic wide 162 and the Nitro Team Art Attack 159 wide. What i want to know is if anyone has had experience with either and which board is best for any type of riding. They are roughly the same price so its just the matter of which is a more solid board.

If you've been around the mainstream health community much, you've heard the much important advice about not skipping meals. Apparently, it is best for our bodies to eat every 2-4 hours and to graze constantly on small meals throughout the day. More importantly, we should never, ever attempt a workout without a solid protein and carb snack before and after. We must always carry 100-Calorie packs in case hunger strikes, lest brain fog ensue.
Eating small meals throughout the day keeps the fire of our metabolism burning and should we miss a meal, our body will jump into starvation mode and scavenge our muscle and brain tissue to survive. Skipping meals leads to a slowed metabolism and certain weight gain. Breakfast, being the most important meal of the day, should never be skipped, or one is at risk of tremendous overeating throughout the day, brain fog and impaired mental state. To keep our bodies running optimally, we must eat small meals throughout the day of carefully portioned amounts of 600 calories or less, preferably from "healthy whole grains" and lean proteins. This will also keep us from that ever dreaded feeling of hunger which we all know causes us to shift into animal existence and eat everything in sight, especially chocolate cake. Sounds logical enough, right? I believed it all for a long time.
The problem is: research and experience don't back it up. In fact, the information in this post was some of the most freeing information for me personally on my own health journey.
What Do Our Bodies Actually Need and When?
Conventional wisdom says that our bodies need a constant supply of food to keep running steadily and have stable blood sugar. While it is true that a constant supply of carbohydrates (which the body breaks down into glucose=sugar) will keep the blood sugar constant, it will be constantly elevated.
In all fairness, some people do succeed at losing weight with the grazing system, but it is a difficult model to follow as it necessitates constant access to food and many people eventually find that they hit a plateau. This plateau makes a lot of sense metabolically, as the body gets used to a constant supply of food and down-regulates the metabolism since it can count on a steady supply of the same amount of calories.
Some studies have shown very positive benefits from caloric restriction diets, though recent research is showing that this can be accomplished in more ways than simply reducing calories at all meals throughout the day. Animal and human studies about caloric restriction shown that when calories are reduced by 30-40%, the subjects tended to live a lot longer… 30% longer actually. That alone might make a case for caloric restriction and small meals, except for one thing that every low-fat dieter knows: the subjects (animal and human) were miserable and showed signs of depression and irritability.
Ever felt that way on a diet? Unfortunately, the benefits showed by overall caloric restriction were included with the suggestion of a low-fat diet, often recommended for weight loss. Fat does contain more calories per gram, so it was the logical source to cut down on. In primate studies, cutting down fat and dietary cholesterol caused problems including making the primates more violent. The body actually vitally needs fats for hundreds of processes throughout the body, so when caloric restriction became fat restriction, health problems followed. What if there was a way to accomplish the life-extending benefits of caloric restriction without bypassing real meals or saying goodbye to steak forever?
Enter Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting basically refers to occasionally reducing or eliminating food intake for a period of time. In studies, this was often done with alternate day fasting, though there are many ways to incorporate fasting. For many, including me at one point, intermittent fasting seemed to go against all the health advice I'd ever heard. Emerging research is showing that fasting is not a threat to overall health, but it actually has many health benefits:
Intermittent Fasting for Cancer and Heart Disease Prevention
Studies have shown that the benefits of caloric restriction can be obtained in ways besides just reducing overall calories (especially by cutting fat) and that some other methods might be more effective. One study found that when lab animals were allowed to eat freely on every other day, they actually consumed the same total number of calories as a group that was allowed to eat freely every day. The difference was that the group that fasted every other day showed longer life, increased resistance to disease, and improved insulin sensitivity. Human studies back this up too showing that when human subjects fasted on alternate days they not only showed the same benefits as caloric restriction groups, but also showed an increased ability to lose weight and improvements in coronary heart disease risk factors. Studies (like this one) have even demonstrated a reduced proliferation of cancer cells in subjects who practiced intermittent fasting, and another study showed that alternate day fasting led to better reception of chemotherapy in cancer patients and a higher cure rate.
Intermittent Fasting for Mental Health
It turns out that fasting occasionally can be good for mental health and repair also. As that study from the National Institute on Aging found:
Although all cells in the body require energy to survive and function properly, excessive calorie intake over long time periods can compromise cell function and promote disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes and cancers. Accordingly, dietary restriction (DR; either caloric restriction or intermittent fasting, with maintained vitamin and mineral intake) can extend lifespan and can increase disease resistance. Recent studies have shown that DR can have profound effects on brain function and vulnerability to injury and disease. DR can protect neurons against degeneration in animal models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases and stroke. Moreover, DR can stimulate the production of new neurons from stem cells (neurogenesis) and can enhance synaptic plasticity, which may increase the ability of the brain to resist aging and restore function following injury.
Not just extended lifespan but better resistance to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntinton's as well as stroke! The study also found that intermittent fasting had a positive anti-aging effect on the brain. Life altering diseases aside, won't restricting calories through fasting lead to the mental fog and sluggishness that we've been warned about (and perhaps even experienced) from not eating regularly? I suggest that, when done correctly, logic points to intermittent fasting actually being better for mental clarity and energy levels. It doesn't make sense that fasting, which we just saw can improve brain health, would also make the brain foggy or sluggish. That being said, if the body (and brain) are used to running on a constant supply of fast carbs, cutting these out will lead to brain fog and sluggishness. If the body is getting the proper nutrients and an adequate supply of beneficial fats and proteins, it is used to running on these types of fuel, and when it doesn't receive calories from the diet it will turn to fat cells for energy.
Intermittent Fasting for Fitness and Health
Besides the benefits in reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and neurological problems, fasting actually helps facilitate weight loss and muscle growth. This actually seems logical if we think about it. If a person has consumed food (especially carbohydrates) right before working out, the glucose from this food is still floating around in the bloodstream or is in the liver and muscles as glycogen. This is a fast fuel for the body, and it will choose to burn through this before resorting to burning fat cells, which take slightly more effort to break down. When a person eats immediately after working out, these glycogen receptors and stores are refilled and some of the positive effects of the workout are cut off. After a resistance training workout, the body naturally produced growth hormone for several hours. Growth hormone is that all-important hormone that kids make in abundance but that declines as we age. The right kinds of high-intensity and resistance workouts can increase the body's own natural production of growth hormone and slow aging. When food, especially food containing fructose, is consumed after workouts, it binds to the same receptors as growth hormone and prevents uptake of all the growth hormone the body has made. Fasting for at least an hour before and after working out can ensure the most uptake of growth hormone, and contrary to popular belief, does not cause muscle wasting or inability to work out effectively.
How to Incorporate Intermittent Fasting
When it comes to fasting, there is no single method that is best for everyone, but there are some important factors that make fasting more effective and beneficial.
Fasting is easiest and most effective if the body is used to utilizing fats and proteins and is not dependent on fast acting carbohydrates for energy. If the body is used to that constant supply of fast energy, total fasting will not be a pleasant experience. If, however, you have eliminated the grains and sugars and your body is a fat-burning machine, fasting can actually be refreshing and energizing. It gives your body a break from digestion and let's it focus on cell regeneration and waste removal.
This is logical too, think about times you have been sick and naturally didn't eat because you weren't hungry. This gave your body a break from digestion so it could use its resources to fight your illness. The great news is that you don't even have to go without food for a whole day to reap the benefits of intermittent fasting. There are several easy ways to incorporate small fasts with minimal effort:
- 16-Hour Fast/8-Hour Eating Window- This is one of the easiest forms of fasting to start with, and you can still get the benefits listed above. You also get to eat each day, and in my experience feel only mildly hungry if at all. The basic idea is that you eat all your meals during the day in an 8 hour window (10 am to 6 pm for instance) and don't eat at other times or while you are sleeping. This gives you a 16-hour fast during a 24-hour period with only minor adjustment to your normal eating schedule. This also seems to be the best option for women, as extended fasting can actually be counter-productive.
- 24-Hour Fast Still Eating Each Day- I heard this one recommended by Dr. Eades, one of the top bariatric doctors in the country. The basic idea is that from 6 pm one day to 6 pm the next day, you fast, and alternate fasting days and eating days. The benefit here is that you can eat dinner after 6 pm one night and then eat breakfast and lunch the next morning, so you are never going a day without eating. This type of alternate day fasting is what is referred to in many of the studies above with the highest cancer and heart disease benefits.
- Full Alternate Day Fasting- Some people think that for the first couple weeks, it is good to do a full alternate day fasting to help the body rid itself of toxins. If you want to attempt this, simply use the 24-Hour fast method above and repeat for two weeks.
You can also just try the novel approach of eating only when you actually get hungry, not just when you crave food, and let your body feel hunger every once in a while. If you aren't hungry in the morning, don't eat. If you aren't hungry at dinner time, don't eat. It seems like such a novel concept, though really, shouldn't it be common sense?
Our bodies came with great built in feedback mechanisms, and to think that we must eat constantly to keep from being hungry (our body's way of telling us to eat) isn't even logical. As I said, finding all this information was incredibly freeing for me personally. I no longer felt guilty when I skipped meals, especially breakfast, just because I wasn't hungry. I didn't feel tied to an eating schedule and I wasn't worried I was cannibalizing muscle tissue by skipping a meal. I personally also slept much better and lost weight once I started incorporating fasting into my routine. If you decide to try fasting, make sure to use common sense and ensure that when you do eat, you are getting enough nutrients and protein. Small children and pregnant women should not undergo long fasts and should let hunger guide their eating.
Have I freed you from the bonds of snacking? Are you open to trying fasting? Perhaps you are fasting today, like I am? Let me know below!

His first endoresment deal should be w/ beenverified.com.
1) who cares thou? You aren't comfortable so you want to lie about to only make matters worse. You know how many people meet the love of their life online, it's normal hints why theirs dating sites . That's a lame excuse if u ask me plus he had no problem talking about we with friends and espn etc.
2) he should care, that's like u being accuse with fraud or a crime and u take 3 days to explain yourself. That alone is suspicious. His coach and president of the school always red no time into defending him, why did he?
Technically nothing we talk about on here matters. Does it matter if Eli is a better QB than Romo? Does it matter if a random person on here thinks the Niners or Falcons are going to win? Does it matter if you think Marino is the best QB ever or not? No, none of that matters. Yet we're still here. You might as well just quit the website then because nothing we talk about here matters.

For the record I'm not accusing him of being part of it but at the same time I'm accusing him of lying when he found out the truth and proceeded to go along with the story. And keep in mind he found out dec 6, of the media or whoever found out didn't leak it, would he have come clean to begin with. And what took him so long to come clean about the truth since HE WAS THE VICTUM?
I'm sooo tired of listening to all this bull ****. I mean, come on who really gives a ****?? It will be alright when he slides down the draft boards cause of this. New England will swoop in and take him in the 3rd.
Thank you ESPN and the rest of you blood sucking media dopes.

I meant it as if the media is the one that powered the dead girlfriend story in the first place.
Now the media is monumentally taking this fake girlfriend thing out of hand.
If he found out she was fake on Dec. 6th you think he needed to have a press conference Dec 7 saying :
"I Manti Te'o was duped. I was lead on for 3 years by someone posing to be a friend, then girlfriend, only to have them tell me that she died the same day as my grandma. I told you guys I had met her because I was embarrassed. I'm stupid as **** for getting fooled for 3 years."
I mean it could've helped, I guess.
It was fun for a while, but it's run it's course. Let him get on with his life.
