She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed daily. [...] Above all, she was pure."''-->-- '''Creator/VirginiaWoolf''', "Professions for Women"What is a Proper Lady? Also known as a "real lady", a "true lady", simply a "lady", or an "angel in the house", she's the perfect lady in the Victorian British mindset. The Proper Lady archetype was widely used in Victorian and earlier literature. Creator/JaneAusten was one of the first authors that introduced such qualities to heroines that did not fit into the strictest view of what is acceptable for a Proper Lady, beginning the slow death of this trope. The last time it was seen alive was around the 1950s. Modern ones are likely to be accused of being {{Purity Sue}}s or have some quirk or flaw that sets them apart from their predecessors. A Proper Lady is a gentle yet strong being, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incorruptible]] and [[ChasteHero pure as the driven snow]] and Madonna-like in her virtues. She sacrifices herself for the good of her family, religion, and country. She is intelligent enough to [[ApronMatron smoothly run a household]], and [[TheConsigliere wisely spends her husband's money]] for the good of her family, never guilty of negligence or selfish frivolity. She possesses the wit, taste and esprit necessary to be [[{{Socialite}} a star of Society]], and never crosses the border of good taste and civility. She is devoted and loyal, never treacherous or scheming. Her manners are never less than impeccable, and her good will and charity are a beacon to those lucky enough to live around her. She is perfectly groomed, likely [[BeautyEqualsGoodness beautiful]] or at least comely (while the female antagonist will be [[BeautyIsBad more beautiful]] and [[EvilIsSexy appealing]]). However, [[TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside more important than her personal looks is her gentle smile]]. Because small size is endearing (and allows for protective embraces from her lucky husband or fiancé), she will probably be on the shorter side. Chances are that she is an EnglishRose, especially with [[RavenHairIvorySkin dark hair and fair skin]]. ParasolOfPrettiness is a typical prop.A Proper Lady might [[DamselInDistress not always be able to defend herself]], but should in most cases possess the strength of mind to not panic, and [[PluckyGirl the willpower]] to never give in to any [[FateWorseThanDeath vile demands]].She is ''always'' [[BlueBlood upper class]] and nearly always [[HouseWife married, often a mother]]. She might also be a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era#Prostitution redundant woman]]'', in which case she will not be bitter about never getting married, and will instead direct her motherly instincts for the good of [[MaidenAunt her sister's or brother's family]]. Lower class women and maidens can have many qualities of a Proper Lady, and should, per this trope and the ideals behind it, aim to be as like her as possible.There is no upper age limit to being a Proper Lady. Widowed ladies might easily double-qualify as {{Determined Widow}}s. If a lady dies at an advanced age, her death will be dignified, probably caused by old age, and if she [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth dies young]] (of [[VictorianNovelDisease nothing too unsightly]]), it will be a heartbreaking tragedy. Her absence will leave behind a great void and she will be dearly missed by not only family members and friends, but also by those who only occasionally had the fortune to be graced with her presence.'''Related character tropes:'''* EnglishRose - another typically British character with similar properties; popular standard for a ProperLady's looks* GracefulLadiesLikePurple - A color showing she's feminine.* GrandeDame - a rare subtype is a mature Proper Lady; even then, she would have been a figure of (good-natured) fun even in Victorian times* TheIngenue - a potential future Proper Lady* LadyOfAdventure: ProperLady meets GlorySeeker* LadyOfWar - ProperLady or SpiritedYoungLady meets ActionGirl.* PrincessClassic - princess counterpart* SilkHidingSteel - A ProperLady who is able and willing to take an active role* SouthernBelle - Southern USA counterpart (see ''bonne belle'')* SpiritedYoungLady - a little more spunky; a little less prim* TheHighQueen - a regal variety* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask - ProperLady meets IronLady, add self sacrifice according to taste* YamatoNadeshiko - the Japanese ([[Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible or at least East Asian]]) version '''Other related tropes:'''* [[AllWomenArePrudes All True Ladies Are Free From Carnal Desire]]* HystericalWoman - a lady usually has enough dignity to avert this, although she usually is emotional* LieBackAndThinkOfEngland - originally the only proper way to deal with the wifely duties while not compromising the purity of a lady* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth - if and when she dies, this is probably invoked----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* ''VictorianRomanceEmma'':** Emma starts as a poor peasant girl, becomes a flower girl, a maid, and ends up becoming a gentleman's sweetheart. While her background technically prevents her from becoming a true lady in the society's eyes, her angel-like disposition, good education, eventual marriage (although with NouveauRiche) and careful grooming should make her one in all but name.** William's mother Aurelia is a weird case. She has the status and loveable nature of a Proper Lady, but also lacks the social and entertaining skills she would have needed to appeal to the London society. Despite everything, she is content to attend social life with her husband to make him appear the best he could even while she silently hates the whole thing. A wearying life filled with social obligations, combined with the strain of having children, made Aurelia physically ill. She is saved from the standard tragic death, but has to leave London and basically abandon her family in order to save their face.* Elizabeth Middleford wants to be Proper Lady for [[KissingCousins her cousin and fiance]] Ciel in ''BlackButler''. In the manga [[spoiler: she hides her LittleMissBadass side from him, [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon fearing he'd think she was "uncute"]] and reject her affection (as he was shit scared of her AlmightyMom Frances). This causes her lots of inner pain as she forces herself to hide her strength for Ciel's sake rather than her own...]]%%* Marianne Hamilton, Emma Queensbury, and [[spoiler: Emma's dead older sister aka Francis and Keith's deceased mother]] from AshitaNoNadja.* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' has [[TokenMiniMoe Liechtenstein]], basically a YamatoNadeshiko who comes from West/Central Europe rather than East Asia. She's humble, kind, quiet, deferring yet not completely submissive to her brother Switzerland, very mature for a young nation, and quite competent at housework.* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':** Ed and Al Elric's MissingMom Trisha. In all the flashbacks she is sweet and loving to her kids and willing to wait forever for her husband.** Hughes's wife Gracia and the Armstrongs's little sister Katharine.* ''Manga/FairyTail'':** It presents the mild mannered Mirajane, who is not only the most feminine member of Fairy Tail but adorable and capable of cooking. [[SilkHidingSteel She runs the guild from behind the scenes and her rank as a mage is Class S.]]** Edo-Cana is even more feminine and soft than Mirajane.%%* {{Gankutsuou}} has Valentine de Vilefort.* ''Anime/{{Windaria}}'' has Alan's HouseWife Marie, a grand example of an honest and wholesome young lady. She also helps him sell their vegetables at market.* A few girls in ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. The series plays around with this trope a lot. Utena's not one, but once tries to act like one after Touga defeats her and she temporarily loses Anthy... yet not only it's very forced, but she's only using a part of the whole concept (being passive and ladylike, but not applying the SilkHidingSteel).* The {{shoujo}} manga ''Manga/{{Lady}}'' by Yoko Hanabusa takes the concept and makes it central to the plot.** The main character, Lynn Russell (also known as Rin Midorikawa), is a [[ButNotTooForeign half-Japanese and half-English]] girl from TheRoaringTwenties; after her Japanese mother [[YamatoNadeshiko Misuzu]] dies in an accident [[HeroicSacrifice while protecting]] [[MamaBear her]], little Lynn decides to honor her via becoming this.** Her paternal half-sister, [[CoolBigSis Sarah Russell]], is on her way to become one as well. She got this from ''her'' MissingMom, Frances.* Vivi, Sandra, Nadia, Liliya, and Valentine from ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'', and oddly enough all of them also fall under the {{Broken Bird}} trope, to varying degrees. Each girl is portrayed as sweet, loving, pure, gentle, and fragile.* As the title may indicate, ''Anime/LadyJewelpet'' takes place in an institute that teaches girls how to be this trope. Results vary.[[/folder]][[folder:Fan Fiction]]* In ''FanFic/TheFledglingYear'', {{Action Girl}}/{{One Of The Boys}} Aravis invokes this trope when she slips into her persona as a [[BlueBlood Tarkheena]]. This provokes very entertaining reactions from everyone who didn't expect her to be capable of such suave formality and politesse.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animated]]* Victoria from ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' is a rare clean-cut modern example without parody or deconstruction. With the PerfectlyArrangedMarriage, you just know how devoted a wife she will be for lucky, lucky Victor. She seems nothing but a sweet young girl, determined to help him when he's troubled. Emily the Corpse Bride is her more enthusiastic counterpart.* Sally from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' fits this trope pretty well. She has the modest, feminine personality and attire, and is domestic and sensible. She's a leaf-filled [[RobotGirl patchwork doll]] with stitches all over her body and puts deadly nightshade in her creator's food and drink to get out of the house, which gives her shades of being more determined and shows she has a great desire to be free.* The three classic-era Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora each fit this trope well, but as Snow White's feminine skills are emphasized more than any other princess, and thus she is perhaps the most quintessential example.* Queen Elinor from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', part of the plot is fueled by her attempts to turn [[RebelliousPrincess her daughter]], [[TomboyPrincess Merida]], into this.* Duchess of ''Film/TheAristocats'' is a regal, wealthy cat of refinement and good manners, but takes her adventures well. Her daughter [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Marie]] tries hard to be one also, but with her proud attitude it doesn't always work. Their sophisticated widowed owner, Madame Bonfamille, is one as well.* Lady from ''Disney/LadyAndTheTramp''... well, they didn't name her for being a [[TheLadette hardcore tomboy]].* [[Disney/PeterPan Wendy]] and [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Alice]] are both very well-behaved, polite little [[EnglishRose English Roses]], but [[SilkHidingSteel they both have steel thorns.]]* ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'':** Maria's father wants her to become this, hence sending her to study abroad at a Spanish convent, so she would stop causing trouble in San Angel. Luckily for San Angel, it didn't work, and she comes back a full-fledged {{Badass}}. ** La Muerte is poised, elegant, kind, and thoughtful.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* Evey from ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'' is a very prim, sensible EnglishRose.* The titular character of ''Film/MaryPoppins'' is ladylike, well-mannered, with a number of feminine talents. It comes from being practically perfect in every way, of course.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* The lady addressed/discussed in Coventry Patmore's 1854 poem ''The Angel in the House''. This work [[TropeNamer named the ideal]] for the Victorian era.* ''GoneWithTheWind'':** Melanie Wilkes. She's gentle, prim, selfless, and when push comes to shove she shows she [[BewareTheNiceOnes has will and guts to protect those near and dear to her]]. Even the feisty Scarlett who originally disliked her comes to love and miss her. Rhett Butler claims to respect Melanie deeply.** Scarlett's dead mother is an {{invoked}} example. She's a never-attainable ideal for Scarlett who knows her temperament and pride will never allow her to become like her mother. From how the family and especially her husband Gerald function (they don't, really) when she's gone it's quite clear she was the pillar of the household. Even some of the slaves say they miss her dearly.* Hortense in ''Literature/SmallIsland'' thinks this is how all British women of any class act, but takes it to such an extent that British people think she's weird.* Esther Summerson, from Creator/CharlesDickens' ''Literature/BleakHouse'', is a Victorian English specimen. She's kind, modest, sensible, and domestically competent, but too down-to-earth to be a PuritySue. Esther is also a deconstruction of the trope, as her extreme humility seems to be in part the result of an upbringing that would be considered emotionally abusive by most modern standards. She could also [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation be interpreted as]] just [[ExploitedTrope pretending to be one as a cover]] for her own management skills: she takes control over situations or exerts authority over people while presenting herself as modest, unassuming, etc.* Amy Dorrit, from another Dickens novel, ''Literature/LittleDorrit'', seems to be a reconstruction, since her father is a former gentleman in debtor's prison who insists on his children's "gentility" while mooching and sponging off all and sundry. Despite her father's twisting of the ideal, Amy upholds true nobility of soul, and ends the novel a figure of quiet purity and strength.* Katy in the ''Literature/WhatKatyDid'' novels by Susan Coolidge is a TomBoy who learns to be a Proper Lady. The one who taught her to be this is her cousin Helen; she mixes this, CoolBigSis... and IllGirl.* Agnes from ''Literature/DavidCopperfield'' is beautiful and good enough to get PuritySue accusations.* Fanny Price subverts this trope in Creator/JaneAusten's ''Literature/MansfieldPark''. She is extremely gentle, passive and the doormat of pretty much everybody around her until they try to force her into marrying the man she doesn't love. Her firmness on this point makes her not quite a true lady, as her uncle spells out:-->'''Sir Thomas:''' I had thought you peculiarly free from wilfulness of temper, self-conceit, and every tendency to that independence of spirit which prevails so much in modern days, [[PluckyGirl even in young women]], and which in young women is offensive and disgusting beyond all common offence. But you have now shewn me that you can be wilful and perverse; that you can and will decide for yourself, without any consideration or deference for those who have surely some right to guide you, without even asking their advice. [[HiddenDepths You have shewn yourself very, very different from anything that I had imagined.]]* In the Austenverse, ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'''s Jane Bennet. She stubbornly believes the best of everyone, everyone loves her for her sweetness, and she's the only one with enough patience to put up with her perpetually querulous mother. But, like Fanny, in addition to being beautiful and kind, she's also intelligent, rational, and sensible.* ''Literature/LittleWomen'':** Margaret aka Meg, Beth's eldest sister who plays TeamMom ''and'' Proper Lady to her three little sisters (shy Beth, SpiritedYoungLady Jo, and SpoiledBrat Amy) and her friends (the SpoiledSweet, but borderline [[BrainlessBeauty Brainless Beauties]] Annie and Belle).** Elizabeth "Beth" March evolves from a FragileFlower into Proper Lady in the second part of the book, [[spoiler: before dying.]] May have taken after her mother, Margaret aka Marmee.** The girls' mother is a Proper Lady after having been more HotBlooded in her youth. Her wisdom and strong will are emphasized more than humility and kindness.%%** In ''Little Men'', Meg's daughter Margaret "Daisy" Brooke fits as well.* Subverted with Maud Lilly from ''Literature/{{Fingersmith}}'', who is ''supposed'' to be this but hides a dark secret.%%* Sophie in the AubreyMaturin series, contrasted with her SpiritedYoungLady cousin Diana.%%* Mrs. Ramsay from Virginia Woolf's novel ''To the Lighthouse''.* Lady Catelyn "Cat" Tully-Stark from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. She is calm and a source of wisdom and advice to others, while maintaining her role in society. The Tully motto is "Family, Duty, Honor," and those are the words she lives by.** Her daughter, [[PrincessClassic Sansa]], is very good at all things proper for a Westerosi noble girl at her age, and is a sweet girl. This is part of the reason for conflict with her [[SiblingYinYang sister Arya.]]* Maria Clara de los Santos, the female lead and LoveInterest in [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino national hero Jose Rizal]]'s novel ''Literature/NoliMeTangere'', is promoted as such. Being religious, the epitome of virtue, "demure and self-effacing" and endowed with beauty, grace, and charm, she was promoted by Rizal as the "ideal image" of a Filipino woman who deserves to be placed on the "pedestal of male honor" (and she apparently was an {{expy}} or Rizal's real life love, Leonor Rivera). Modern readers and authors, however, have noted the ValuesDissonance since poor Maria Clara also was "chaste, masochistic and easily fainting", calling her the "greatest misfortune that has befallen the Filipina in the last one hundred years".* ''InDeath'': Played with. Dr. Mira seems to give this off like pheremones. However, it was revealed early on that she had been raped by her stepfather, and she turns out to have flaws. Clarissa Price is a social worker in the story ''Purity In Death'', who is lady-like and beautiful, which seems odd, considering that she works in a job that usually puts lines on someone's face. However, it turns out that she has failed to dot her i's and cross her t's, as well as being a party to murder, but she certainly suffered a VillainousBreakdown when Eve showed pictures of a teenaged girl who was essentially murdered by the terrorists Price was working for. Avril from ''Origin In Death'' starts off like this. However, she ends up murdering her own husband and helps in murdering people connected to him. Why? Because she is a clone created by her husband and his father, and while she would have lived with that, she found out that her husband had broken his promise to not clone their children (he was treating them as things to be replaced rather than human beings), and so she decided to go MamaBear on him and his little science project.* ''Literature/{{Hopscotch}}'': Gekrepten, Oliveira's wife/girlfriend/whatever back in Argentina. She immediately accepts him after running away to Paris and never complains the fact that he stays all day at her place, never working. Heck, she even takes care of him after the trap incident. Subverted in that, no matter what she does, Horacio will never respect, care or love her because she isn't as intelligent/interesting as La Maga or Talita.* Elizabeth Pennykettle from ''[[Literature/{{Dragons}} The Last Dragon Chronicles]]'' is a perfect example of this trope. She's also the resident TeamMom and IncorruptiblePurePureness. Plus, she's a good cook.%%* Esme Cullen from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', also the TeamMom.* ''Literature/OneHundredYearsOfSolitude'': The matriarch of the family, Úrsula Iguaran, is a subversion. She is very devoted to her family, but also [[AlmightyMom extremely stubborn and more than capable of standing up to her husband/children/descendants]], even if she has to hit them (as she did to Arcadio) or mouth them off roughly (to both José Arcadio Buendia or Colonel Aureliano).%%** Little Remedios and Santa Sofía de la Piedad from . Little Remedios mixes this and GenkiGirl.%%* Lady Rowena from ''Literature/{{Ivanhoe}}'' is seen as this by readers. She's more of a WellExcuseMePrincess, actually.* Comes up in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', a RomanceNovel with [[StereotypeFlip inverted]] gender roles. As a noble and a cousin to the royal princesses, Cullen Moorland is expected to be one of these, and he plays the part well, but he finds the expectations for being a proper young man to be boring and stifling, and he desperately envies [[SpiritedYoungLady Jerin]].* Adele Ratignolle from Kate Chopin's novel ''Literature/TheAwakening''. Her submissiveness and devotion to her family and husband make her a {{foil}} to TheProtagonist Edna. Adele is extremely sweet, feminine, and fragile. However, Adele Ratignolle's open-minded Creole ways help Edna to unleash her inner self and the artist in her.* Sidonie "Sido" De VilleDuval from ''Literature/TheRedNecklace''. Sido is a shy, compassionate girl who is very loyal to her father even though he ignores and mistreats her constantly. Her sweet nature wins over most anyone.* ''Creator/SimonaAhrnstedt'' has two examples of this.** Sofia Löwenström in ''Literature/{{Overenskommelser}}'' is beautiful and demure and pretty much flawless, thus basically perfect according to the standards of the 1880s.** Venus Dag och Natt in "De skandalösa" is pretty much a 17th century version of this, being so beautiful and demure, except that [[spoiler: it turns out that she's gay]]. %% * Jessamine Lovelace from ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices''. Strives to be this. She fails because of her attitude.* Lissa Dragomir from ''Literature/VampireAcademy'' is gentle, strong-willed, a {{Socialite}}, she is loyal to the people she cares about, she has proper manners, is kind-hearted and beautiful, and naturally upper class. [[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* ''UpstairsDownstairs'':** Lady Marjorie is adored by her husband and servants, and a Proper Lady through and through. Her saintlikeness is tarnished only by a short affair she was quick to regret. Also gets a tragic death. Of course, after she dies, everything starts to slowly fall to pieces.** Hazel Bellamy is a steel core lady, very refined and composed, although not of genteel pedigree. A rare example of a Proper Lady who has ever actually done working class work.* Queen Guinevere and Princess Mithian from ''Series/{{Merlin}}''. Subverted in the sense that Guinevere was originally a servant girl, and Mithian has a touch of the TomboyPrincess about her, but in terms of their personalities, they fit this trope.* Dina Araz from ''Series/TwentyFour'' season 4 is a charming, dutiful wife and mother who is also a stone cold terrorist.* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E20WhatIsAndWhatShouldNeverBe "What Is And What Should Never Be" (S02, Ep20)]], Wishverse!Mary is portrayed as incredibly gentle and devoted, appearing as a Madonna-like character.[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* Music/TomJones' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIfxBthfFkg "She's a Lady"]] seems to describe this sort of woman. She's got style, she's got grace, always something nice to say and so on. [[/folder]][[folder:Mythology & Religion]]* The [[AncientGreece Ancient Greek]] concept of ''arete'' (virtue/excellence) as applied to women matches all the values of the Proper Lady, making this OlderThanFeudalism.** Odysseus' wife Penelope from the ancient epic ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' was presented as the UrExample. Domestic and beautiful, she has stayed faithful to Odysseus, waiting for him for twenty years.** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hera Goddess Hera/Juno]] is the Greek patron deity of women and marriage; however, considering [[ClingyJealousGirl her]] [[WomanScorned behavior]] whenever Zeus cheats on her (and man, [[ReallyGetsAround does he cheat on her]]), she comes off as a {{Yandere}} instead.** Hera/Juno's sister [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hestia Hestia/Vesta]], [[VirginPower virgin]] goddess of households and families, seems to be more of the real deal.** Queen Theatre/{{Alcestis}}, the only one brave and loving enough to offer ''her own life'' in exchange for her husband Admetus'. Luckily for her, Admetus happened to have an old friend named [[WorldsStrongestMan Heracles]], who offered to bring her back from the Underworld... and did so [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu by wrestling]] TheGrimReaper.* The Virgin Mary is presented as the epitome of this trope, she being the perfect mother figure (indeed, the mother of Jesus Himself and [[TeamMom spiritual mother]] to all His followers) and all. She's presented as [[BeautyEqualsGoodness beautiful and graceful]], humble, chaste, wise, and altruistic. She is held up as the perfect woman, and many Christian girls (especially Catholic ones) as well as Muslim girls, are encouraged to be more like her. Many female Catholic saints also qualify, although many others are subversions. Notably, along with Virgin Mary, they were an important part of forming this ideal.[[/folder]][[folder:Oral Tradition]]* Female protagonists tend to follow the ladylike ideals if they are peasant girls. Princesses might need to go through a [[FallenPrincess humbling procedure]] before they can be PrincessClassic.[[/folder]][[folder:Professional Wrestling]]* Kimber Lee, who claims to the first lady of the [[Wrestling/{{CZW}} Combat Zone]], and the reason she persisted in attacking Wrestling/ChristinaVonEerie, who spat on Lee's idea of a proper lady, [[SpitefulSpit literally]]. Kimber Lee's tag team partner Cherry Bomb is a more traditional example, as she does dress and carry herself in the manner of Victorian woman who would rather not bloody her hands in CZW when her husband Pepper Parks can do that. Bomb has no computations about bloodying ''[[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty objects]]'' in her hands though. (away from CZW, the two have a ''[[LaughablyEvil much]]'' different [[TheGimmick gimmick]])* Made In Sin imagine themselves to be proper ladies. Coworker opinion might vary but what do they know? "[[CatchPhrase Pinkies up!]]"[[/folder]][[folder:Theater]]* ''Theatre/{{Pygmalion}}'' and the later version ''MyFairLady'' are about attempting to groom a poor girl into a lady. It works rather well -- except that the girl also gains enough dignity and self-respect that she walks out. In ''Pygmalion'', she never comes back.%%* Tzeitel from FiddlerOnTheRoof.[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* Princess Sarah of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' was the first in a long line of beautiful, noble princesses. She always wears gold dresses and even has HairOfGoldHeartOfGold.* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' gives us Princess Garnet Til Alexandros, AKA Dagger, who's a demure little princess when she's not being a [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious one]].* Schala in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', and Riddel in both ''VisualNovel/RadicalDreamers'' and its SpiritualSuccessor ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''.* Some of the MultipleEndings in the ''PrincessMaker'' franchise, if your daughter's skills fall on the domestic side (high conversation, temperance, cooking and cleaning).** Specially obvious in the "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/housewife_9300.jpg homemaker]]" ending, but also invoked in the "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tutor_8353.jpg tutor]]", "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nursemaid_5061.jpg babysitter]]", "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/millionaire_wife_8094.jpg millionaire's wife"]], "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merchant_wife_9283.jpg merchant's wife]]", "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maid_1341.jpg maid]]" and "[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/queen_4421.jpg Queen Consort]]" ones.** The Queen of the land in PM 2 is an older version of the trope. In fact, to meet her you must have ''very'' high temperance, which is obtained only through housework.%%** Marthia, who crosses it with ShrinkingViolet.* Subverted with the personification of the Akatsuki in ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection''. She insists on being treated as a proper lady which, ironically, makes her childish instead.[[/folder]][[folder:Webcomics]]* In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'', Perrault disbelieves November because such [[Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked a refined young lady could hardly come through]] TheLostWoods untouched.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* [[CanonForeigner Belinda Maze]] from ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''. She's not only a victorian lady, she's also devoted to her beloved Phileas Fogg and certainly nicer than her rotten uncle Lord Maze.* Rarity from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' insists that she is a lady and must be treated as such. She is very polite and gracious, though not afraid to tell someone off if she feels it's warranted. She doesn't seem to feel above giving someone a well needed hoof in the face, but she has to be severely pushed. She could be seen as an imperfect Proper Lady, but her character development throughout the series suggests she is becoming a more genuine representation of this trope.[[/folder]][[folder:Real Life]]* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Elisabeth_of_Hesse_and_by_Rhine_%281864%E2%80%931918%29 Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine]], the beautiful and pious sister-in-law to Czar Nicholas II. When her husband Sergei was brutally assassinated, she didn't hold a grudge to his killers and pardoned them publicly before becoming a nun and selling all of her jewellery to use the money on charity. * An agency in London gave lessons on how to be a Proper Lady called the "Princess Prep" workshop.[[/folder]]-----

Juelz Santana ft. Jim Jones & Rabbi - Stackin Money
Artist: Juelz Santana
Featuring: Jim Jones
Producer: B Easy Productions
Album: Born To Lose, Built To Win (The Reagan Era)
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 57 votes )
After his sophomore album (What The Game's Been Missing!) spawned hits such as There It Go (The Whistle Song) and Oh Yes, fans of rapper Juelz Santana assumed his label would push hard for a speedy follow-up. Unfortunately, caught between his Diplomat boss Cam'ron and former Def Jam boss Jay-Z, the Skull Gang leader has not seen a commercial release in almost three years (save Nike's ad-turned sports anthem, The Second Coming). Nonetheless, Santana is ready to roll out a plethora of street jams, proving that without a release he's still Stackin Money. Joined by Richmond native Skull Gangster Rabbi and longtime Dipset partner Jim Jones, and produced by Chicago's B Easy Productions, Stackin Money should feed all those fiendin' for new Juelz Santana until he drops his official buzz single.

my college course...
I would change nothing about my past. I would have gotten the mental illness anyway because it had a genetic component from my mother. As it stands now I get 1500 dollars wired into my account each month from Social Security and it pays for all my basic expenses here in this house and still gives me some money to play with. If I didn't apply for disability when the economy was better I would probably be up $hit creek right now because it is not getting any easier to get Social Security disability.
Just one? I wouldn't be so serious I would have more fun and I would carry a camera with me to keep my memories.
None :)
Sleeping with my ex when he gave me hpv from his girlfriend who didn't tell him that she had it until after they slept together. She lied and said she got it from a wart on his finger.

hey, welcome. Nice to see someone of a similar age to me here. You definately show potential. You will hear this alot as you start off, but anatomy is very important, do some studies etc. Also try and tighten up your lines a little, it will make a big difference. Keep it up!
The stranger things appear the more real they usually are.

Get some photos of your traditional stuff in here! Get pictures or something. The best advice I have been given is stick to traditional mediums untill you have all of the basics down, then you can use digital to HELP yourself grow, but don't rely on it. At the end of the day, if you can't draw on paper, then you can't draw on the computer.
I would also advice posting about in other peoples sketchbooks and generally looking about. There are some golden tips everywhere, be careful not to miss them.
November 29th, 2008 #6
For sure.
And don't get me wrong, I don't do practice and stuff digitally; I just felt like updating my dA so I did those two digital paintings. Other than that, it's all pencil/ball-point pen on paper.
I'll have to see if my foster brother'll let me take some pics with his cell phone or something.

Heh...thanks for checking out my sketchbook.
Good potential here, I think. I wish I'd started learning anatomy back in high school, I kept thinking I could get away without it ('cause I was dumb ). I'm sure I don't have to tell you to keep it up.

Bleach? OMG!

Looking good
Start doing some studie, take time on them and just keep it up!

I see potential in those digital sketches, but taking a quick run through your deviant art, you need to give up the anime and fan art man. You have placed yourself within the massive horde of japanofile teenagers that, artistically speaking, plainly represent a lower level of creative thinking. If anime is your thing, who am i to tell you otherwise? But having expressed an interest in developing your own style I would recommend seriously considering what participating in such a generic and un inspired style says about you as an artistic mind?
That's my bit, i hope it isnt taken the wrong way, keep on drawing!

I totally agree with you, Rarebit. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking, up until a little while ago; I was convinced I'd be a 'manga-ka', because you know, a white Canadian kid can do that. Lately I've been doing a ton of studies (of everything from faces, to gestures, to re-drawing inspirational artist's work, to even just looking at photos of people and drawing them). I'm looking around to see if I can find some life-drawing sessions even remotely near here.
That's not to say that once I get to the level where I'm able to stylize proficiently, I won't have some influence from Eastern artists. Recently, though, I've been mesmerized by artists like t-wei, Jamie Hewlett, LeSean Thomas (though, I've loved his work for a good while now), Jim Lee, etc. (and a lot more).
I really wish I would've listened to those fellas over at SatelliteSoda like, half a year ago. -_-
Something I started on last night: (excuse my shaky hands with the camera >>)
Supposed to be the lead singer of 'All American Rejects'. I was sitting in my room and trying to find photo-reference in a magazine, but all I've got is game magazines and stuff, then I remembered buying Batman 680 and there being a few ads. Yeah.
December 10th, 2008 #11
Some stuff. Photos, again. I really need to get a new scanner; it took me LITERALLY 45 minutes to get decent pictures of these things. xD
First one is an older version of a character that I saw in uhhhhhh... some video game magazine. Play, maybe.
Second is a character quick concept sketch of a character inspired by Gears of War with a Samurai-Ish feel to it.
Third is a study of the back of a boxer I did last night (I did a few others, but I kinda' liked this one the best)
December 12th, 2008 #12
So, I'm working on a Prince of Persia painting and I'd really like to get some tips/advice before I move any further with it (still in the sketching phase). I'm thinking about maybe making the eyes a little bit bigger, and TRYING to fix the nose/mouth? What else could I do.
EDIT: Discontent with it now

Looking good so far. Make sure you practice regularly, its a sure way to improve Another thing I would say is to get as much observational drawings done as possible. It will help you with the basics and foundations of drawing and would also feed your visual library so that when it comes to drawing from the imagination you will be better equiped.

There's some great work here, especially for a sixteen year old.
I wouldn't get worried about being too caught up in Manga, as you know it has some incredible artists and there's no shame in being influenced by it.
Your first few characters definelty have that Manga quality to it.
I would recommend you work on your proportions more. Go out and sketch people where you can. Either that or try doodles of getting the basic shape of the human form down.
Also try getting to know how the skeleton stands, this will help with proportions and general stance of your characters.
You've definetly got the ability, I just wish I was as good as you when I was sixteen.

Bendragon: For sure; I draw every day for like, a minimum of an hour. Usually closer to 3 or 4.
Porg: Thanks.
And it's not that I dislike manga, it's that I don't have the skills to apply to stylizing it yet. I'm sure anime/manga will have an effect on my general style once I get a better grasp of the fundamentals.
Lilnebo: Gonna' buy a new one after Christmas.
Sorry to be posting something anime-ish; it's honestly like, the second anime esque thing I've drawn since those samurai speedpaintings, and it was only done in this style because it was for a Secret Santa over on a forum I attend. Pencils w/ sharpie; got my friend to resize and stuff in PS, 'cuz I don't have it at the moment. I'll post some studies on friday maybe. 8D

I still see an anime influence. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad, there are a fewe artists here on CA, who can pull off anime in a tasteful , and extremely well executed manner, but like others have said, they have a strong foundation of anatomy , clothing, shading, depth, and composition , color theory, and other things. You are on a good track right now, keep it up.

"Wanna' be an art director/storyboard artist/concept artist/comic penciler"
If u wanna be any of those, u better show more updates and practice and practice,,, mate. U do show potentials like others have mentioned.
January 11th, 2009 #19
Evxyza92: Thanks.
And it's not that 'my style' won't have any anime/manga influence when I'm comfortable with the fundamentals, it's that anime is standing in the way of learning what I really need to know. I was applying skills I didn't have and very slowly improving; learning the skills, then applying them, is what I'm doing now.
2buiart:It's just really annoying to have to take digi-cam pictures, so updating is a real hassle (that, and you can't really see what I'm showing you). I wanna' get my hands on a new scanner soon; mayhaps I'll go buy one from Futureshop or something, when I get my next cheque that is.
I'll try to get some new stuff up soon.

I see, hehe.
I strongly recommend u to get a digital copy of Andrew Loomis Life drawing. (or ANY of his book)
He is consider one of the GREATEST art teacher of ALL TIME.
I learn so much through that book, and I'm sure you will too.
Just google it up and download it. Type something like = Andrew Loomis Life drawing pdf

2buiart: i've got Fun with a Pencil, Figure drawing: for what all it's worth, drawing the head & hands, successful drawing, creative drawing and eye of the painter. I'm looking through Figure Drawing: for all it's worth and drawing the head & hands the most, at the moment.
A quick character concept. In my head, he was originally one of two twin sons of the head knight of some kingdom; him and his brother had to like, battle, he won. The penalty for losing was being took into a forest and killed by the winning brother, but he loved his brother and let him go back to the kingdom in his place (as him) and he ended up adventuring around the world and stuff. A bit lame, but IDK; not like I'm'a use him for anything. xD
I put the ear too high, so I ended up pushing up the rest of his face too high as well, so pretend his ear/facial features are all down a little bit or something. ;D
Sorry that it's sideways. I don't think I have anything that I could straighten it out with, atm. o-o

Since he's wondering around the world, maybe add some more obvious carrying bags and maybe water pouch?

Been doing a bunch of studies. I'll upload a bunch of the better ones later this week.
Wanted to try painting over a silhouette (started as a thumb, resized, painted over it). Didn't bother with the face. My tablet hasn't been functioning for awhile and just recently started working again, so I'm a bit rusty with one. This was done at school, though, with PS Elements 3 and an Intuos 3 4x6. 25 minutes or so.
January 29th, 2009 #25
You say you want to ditch anime? Then learning how to draw realistically first is the way to go. Any sort of personal style is going to come after you have learned the basics.
Many manga/anime artists have some sort of traditional background in art, and the reason that they are able to get away with their style is because they know exactly what they are distorting and exaggerating. In other words, they could most likely draw realistically if they chose to do so.
So don't worry about finding a style now. It will come naturally later on.

By the look of things your propotions are getting better.
If your having difficulty with his stance try sketching out the skeleton seperately and see how it goes. Then once you've got that sorted you can add the body and clothes.

I mounted the bindings on Alpina Cross Terrains. I have been using them to get access to places in half the time it would take me in snowshoes. Binding works really well even with my leather Makalus. Snow (wet) often packs in between the binding and the ski making it necessary to clean the binding.

Black Friday is a mystery of time and space. Only on Black Friday can people turn so fast from the love and warm fuzzes of Thanksgiving to pure animals. These folks at a Wal-Mart are grabbing for HDTVs and things get a bit rough.

Solaire Open rolls off today
ANGELO Que, who won the 2008 Philippine Open over the same challenging Wack Wack East layout, believes that it doesn't take just a good game to win a tournament over the fabled course.
"With a strong field like this and over a course like the East, you need to have a lot of luck to win," Que told the Inquirer yesterday, moments after wrapping up his final practice round for the $300,000 Solaire Open that tees off today.
"All parts of your game would have to click on all four days," Que, who won with a five-under 283 total five years ago, added. "You can't come to Wack Wack with a part of your game missing. Everything should be working."
Frankie Miñoza, the legendary 53-year-old who was the Open champion the year before Que struck, predicts that the winds will again play a factor—as in any pro tournament that the traditional layout hosts.
"Every time there's a pro event here, the winds blow," Miñoza, the reigning Japan Senior Open champ, said. "I don't know why. There's no wind during practice rounds. It seems that someone turns it off and then on for the tournament."
Another player who has triumphed over a strong international field in this course is Singapore's Mardan Mamat, whose runaway victory in last year's Open makes him a logical choice as one of the players to beat here.
"It's not all about power here," the 45-year-old Mamat, who totaled 280 last year, said. "You need to be able to place your shots, otherwise, you'll get in trouble."
Wack Wack has always been one of the tougher stops in the Asian Tour, with the dreaded eighth hole, the camel back-shaped par-3, looming large in the minds of most of the participants.
And Mamat, who had a tough birdie in the final round of the Open last year, knows this.
"If you finish four days with a par on the eighth hole, you have a good chance to win the tournament," Mamat said. "That's the key hole to move into contention. "
Tee-off starts at 6:15 a.m on the first and 10th holes. The rest of the field gets going at 11:15 a.m. also on both the first and 10th tees.
Mardan will tee off with Antonio Lascuña, who also won at Wack Wack in the final leg of the local tour last December, at 12 noon on the 10th. Juvic Pagunsan, the 2011 Asian Tour champion still to conquer Wack Wack, will start earlier on the same tee at 11:40 a.m. with Asian Tour standouts Chawalit Plaphol of Thailand and Japan's Tetsuji Hiratsuka.
Que will be with Australian star Scott Barr in the 6:45 a.m. flight on No. 1.

Alienware 14 vs. Razer Blade
By Chris Wood
February 20, 2014
The Alienware 14 and Razer Blade provide two distinct visions of what a 14-inch gaming laptop should be. The former provides a classic portable gaming experience, while the latter breaks the mold, offering strong performance in a thin and light package. Read on as we compare the two machines, in an effort to determine which system is more deserving of your attention.
The Dell product takes an early lead here, besting the Razer Blade's 1600 x 900 display with its full HD 1920 x 1080 offering.
Though both systems feature Q2 2013 quad-core Intel CPUs, the Alienware 14's Core i7 4900MQ is the better option, with a higher clock speed and larger smart cache. That said, both processors are capable options.
As with many of these categories, Dell offers a variety of CPU configurations. The Core i7 4900MQ is featured on the higher-end configuration under discussion here.
Both laptops are fitted with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M graphics cards.
Yet another category where the Alienware trumps its rival, featuring double the memory of Razer's product.
While the Alienware system offers more storage capacity, and its 80GB SSD drive will help make the system fast and responsive, the Razer's solid state-only setup is the better option. SSD storage is faster, quieter and more durable.
Razer offers 128, 256 and 512GB SSD configurations with the Blade, we've opted for the larger capacity drive for this comparison.
When it comes to connectivity, Alienware is the clear winner, offering a plethora of ports including Gigabit Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort and a Kensington Security Lock port. Both systems offer and HDMI out and three USB 3.0 ports.
Battery life
Though both systems offer similar capacity batteries, the Razer squeezes significantly more runtime out of its setup. According to Engadget" target="_blank">Engadget, you can expect just three hours charge from the Alienware, while the Razer will run for more than six hours on a single charge.
That said, longevity isn't a primary concern when it comes to gaming laptops. If you're planning on playing GPU-intensive, battery-draining AAA titles, then you'll likely want to be plugged into the wall anyway.
OS and disk drive
The Razer comes with Windows 8.1 as standard, while Alienware offer both that and a Windows 7 option. The Alienware 14's Blu-ray reader is the clear winner if you're still fond of physical media. You'll have to rely on downloads if you opt for the Blade, with Razer's product doing away with the optical drive entirely.
Dimensions and design
This category sees one of the most striking differences between the two machines. While the Alienware 14 espouses the bulky, weighty form factor we've come to expect of portable gaming machines, the Blade takes an entirely different approach. Almost an inch thinner than its competitor, and around two-thirds as weighty, you might actually consider using Razer's system on your lap.
The smaller system features a slick MacBook Pro-like design, with only the green Razer logo on the lid revealing the gaming-orientated nature of the machine. The design of the Dell machine is far less understated than its rival, exhibiting classic over-the-top Alienware styling.
The rest
A few other things set the two systems apart. The Alienware's keyboard features four separate, programmable backlit areas, as well as AlienFX lighting throughout the chassis. The Razer is, once again, a little more reserved, offering a backlit keyboard and useful Synapse 2.0 software that syncs users' peripherals preferences to the cloud.
The Alienware wins out when it comes to webcam quality, with its 2MP offering trumping the Razer's 1.3MP camera.
At the time of writing, and in these configurations, the Alienware 14 comes in around US$100 less than the Razer Blade.
With these systems, Dell and Razer have provided two distinct visions of what a gaming laptop should be. The Alienware 14 is a more traditional gaming machine – it's thick, heavy, offers great performance and a plethora of ports. The Razer Blade takes a different approach, cutting down on the extras and delivering competitive specs (particularly its SSD hard drive) and great battery life in an impressively thin and light form factor.
When it comes to raw power, the Alienware machine wins out, with double the RAM and a more powerful CPU than its competitor. The system's display also boasts a superior resolution, and while 14 inches is small for a gaming laptop, the Razer's lack of full HD screen is a shame considering the lofty price tag.
The two laptops offer different approaches to gaming on the move, and your decision here should be based on what you're looking for from the machine.
If your priorities are genuine portability and stylish looks, and if you can do without a disk drive, then the Razer Blade may well fit the bill. If you're looking for a versatile and powerful machine and are a fan of the loud looks, then the Alienware 14 is a good way to go.
These are just two examples of 14-inch gaming laptops, albeit two very solid examples. Other systems like the Gigabyte P34G, or even a cheaper configuration of the Alienware 14, offer good performance at a lower price point. It's also worth looking at custom PC manufacturers such as PC Specialist (based in the UK). You can often get more for your money going down this route, but you're unlikely to get quite the same bells-and-whistles design as you do with major manufacturers.
Wow, the Razer is SO not a gamer laptop.Dave Andrews
Decent article here but I was compelled to comment on this article as I recently went through the process of researching many of the gaming laptops in the market. I am a career computer/network tech and a lifetime gamer with 29 years of experience in building gaming rigs and wanted the best bang for the buck as well as future proof ability to upgrade my cpu/ram/gpu in my laptop. I use my laptop for very heavy business as well as gaming so I wanted the best all around laptop that fit these requirements and I found that the only system that fit all my criteria was the MSI GT70 2OD. Sound quality on this laptop is second to none and it is a 17 inch laptop and after custom configuring the laptop I picked it up for 1800$. 16 gigs ram, raid ssd in 256 Gig setup main drive, 1tb data drive, Nvidia 770M. In every respect it beats the pants off of both of these systems for a lower price and if you want even better performance you can get the GT70 Dragon edition 2 although it costs more. As far as I am concerned the MSI GT70 series is the best gaming laptops you can get at this time and you can get them at better prices than Alienware and Razer. Anyway I could not hold my peace after reading this article. Take a look at the link below. http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70_2OD.html#overviewBonehawk123
I have a Lenovo y410p, I has the best of both of these in a way, i7 4700mq, gt755m, 1tb HDD, 24gb ssd, optical drive, 14inch HD+ 1600x900, 8gb ram, windows 8.1, 65wh battery, 1.5mp camera, 1xusb 3.0 2xusb2.0, card reader, backlit keyboard. I got it for $914 with taxes and shipping, not a bad price and it can run most games on high-max settings (16xAA, 8xfxAA, high shaders...) At about 35-40fps. I did put my paging file on the ssd which increases the fps by 10-15fps on most games. Check it out, Lenovo y410p.Kelvin Milne
If you actually consider looks to be an important factor when choosing a gaming laptop then you are doing it all wrong. I guess razer doesn't need a bluray drive when it doesn't even have an HD screen lol. With such a slight price difference and being beat in every single category that actually matters, except hd speed, I can't see how anyone would buy it.Bernard Marx
I think people only want to buy the razer blade because of the lightness of it being only 1.88kg so people could easily go anywhere. and honestly, I'm not rooting for razer OR alienware, I mean I use an alienware m14x R2 and thats one of the biggest mistake I've ever done. So to wrap things up. Both razer and alienware are overpriced. I recommend MSI or a self-built gaming PCYugigon Yugigon

Sun's Project Indiana Coming Next Week
Within a week from now, Sun's Project Indiana, the OpenSolaris binary desktop distribution being led by Ian Murdock will be available for download. The first complete release will arrive in Spring of 2008, but next week's release is intended as a technical preview for those Solaris and Linux users that are interested. We have been telling you for a while now that the first Project Indiana release will arrive before November (New Project Indiana Details Emerge and Sun's Project Indiana Out By Month's End), and we just received some additional assurance that it's still on schedule. It has once again been stated that it will arrive on or by October 31 (Indiana mailing list). It looks like the first release of Project Indiana will be a Halloween release. Like most events, you can expect same-day coverage at Phoronix with plenty of information.

Sun Check Tool 1.3
If you're curious about Solaris/OpenSolaris support on your computer hardware, Sun's Check Tool 1.3 is now available. Check Tool 1.3 is an update to the previously reviewed Check Tool 1.2, but adds the Solaris 10 8/07 kernel, X.Org driver detection for video devices, and an updated driver database. Previous to this 11/06 kernel upgrade, Sun's Check Tool had used the Solaris 10 11/06 kernel. The X.Org driver detection now makes it possible to detect what X.Org driver you'll need for your graphics hardware. More information on the x86 Installation Check Tool is available at the BigAdmin HCL.

Ubuntu Gets IcedTea (OpenJDK)
Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" is using Fedora/Red Hat's system-config-printer to replace gnome-cups-manager, and now another Fedora-spawned project is available as Debian packages for Ubuntu. IcedTea was started as a project by Red Hat that uses the OpenJDK code but for legal reasons it's called "IcedTea" and currently depends upon some non-free bits of code to build. Matthias Klose of Ubuntu has now produced IcedTea Debian packages for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. These packages are for i386, lpia, and x86_64. It doesn't look like the IcedTea packages will appear in the Ubuntu spin but is rather targeted for developers until all of the Ubuntu Java/OpenJDK issues are worked out. Find out more on the ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list.

OpenSolaris Will Not Merge With Linux
At LinuxWorld 2007 in San Francisco, Andrew Morton said during his keynote that no key components of OpenSolaris will appear in the Linux kernel. In fact, Morton had even stated that "It's a great shame that OpenSolaris still exists." Some of these key OpenSolaris components include Zones, ZFS, and DTrace. Though there is the possibility that Project Indiana could turn these into GPLv3 projects... More information is available at ZDNET.

Sun's UltraSPARC T2 Is Open Source
The Sun UltraSPARC T2 (Niagara 2) entered the world today with eight processing cores and eight threads per core and a wealth of benefits over the UltraSPARC T1 such as greatly improved floating point performance, FB-DIMM DDR2 RAM, and an advanced cryptographic capabilities on top of a wealth of other innovations. What makes the Niagara 2 even more interesting is that all design blueprints are being made open-source under the GPL license at OpenSPARC. Additional information on this can be found on Jonathan Schwartz blog (Sun's CEO).

Fedora 8 To Integrate OpenJDK
One of the most recently added features to the Fedora 8 feature list is IcedTea, which is the open-source version of Java (OpenJDK). The plan is to make IcedTea the default JPackage environment and will replace GCJ. There are Fedora packages for IcedTea already maintained (at ClassPath.org) and the dependencies needed to build IcedTea can already be found in Fedora Rawhide. What's left to be accomplished is resolving issues pertaining to questionable license headers, while lower on the totem pole is integration with the open-source Java web-plugin (gcjwebplugin) followed by PPC and PPC64 support. If IcedTea doesn't make the cut for Fedora 8, GCJ will be left in as the default JPackage environment. More information on the OpenJDK plans for Fedora 8 can be found in the Fedora Project Wiki.

The arrests in New South Wales followed an audit by the State Debt Recovery Office that identified 238 people who had allegedly submitted false statutory declarations to avoid fines estimated at $62,000.
A police spokesman in Sydney told reporters the alleged offenders used one of two people on the documents -- one person was deceased and the other lived out of state.
A weekend operation involving 42 local area commands saw 120 people arrested, and police charged 76 of them with a total of 150 offenses. More arrested were expected.
"These offenses amount to fraud and, if proven, could involve stiff penalties for those involved -- including imprisonment," the spokesman said.

Photo exhibition details its origin, tradition and evolution
A wealth of information about Indian Railways is in store at the photo exhibition organised in view of its 160th year of operation, at Madurai Railway junction.
With 28 photographs on display, it gives a preview of the origin, tradition and evolution of the world's fourth largest railway network which is functioning under a single administration.
The Indian Railways operates 11,000 trains every day, covering a distance equal to thrice the distance between the earth and the moon.
The railways which made possible the 34-km-long journey between Mumbai and Thane on April 16, 1853, now has a 63,940-km-long network.
Every day, trains carry 2.20 crore people in the country, which is more than the population of Norway, Sweden and Denmark put together.
Another striking feature of the railways, as displayed in the exhibition, is its golden square connecting the four metros – New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Though the track length of the golden square amounts to only 16 per cent of the entire network, it carries half of the total passenger and cargo movements.
A photo caption states while 14 coaches were in the train that made the first journey in India, express trains now have 24 coaches, running for close to half a km, and carry 1,500 passengers.
Vivek Express, which is connecting Kanyakumari with Dibrugarh in the north-east, records the longest journey of 4,200 kilometres after 82 hours of travel.
It is juxtaposed with the Moscow-Rome train journey, covering one of the longest distances in Europe – which is only 2,380 km.
Another pride of the railways is that it has got three railway networks — Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, Kalka-Shimla Railway and the Nilgiris Mountain Railway — which have been declared as Heritage Railway by UNESCO.
The expo, which also highlights some of the railway plants where locomotives, coaches, wheels and axles are being manufactured, will remain open between 8.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. till April 2. The entry is free.
Divisional Railway Manager A.K. Rastogi inaugurated the exhibition on Sunday in the presence of Additional Divisional Railway Manager V. Ajith Kumar.
Keywords: Indian Railways, Madurai Railway junction

"I have not really figured it out yet," he said. "I just know that, for people to understand me a little more, to understand what I've been through, I would like to write a book. A lot of you guys, I never have seen you before and I know you do not know me. You just know what you read. I think for you to really understand me and what I come from and how I do things, you need to read it."
Because he often was double- and triple-teamed in his early career, he was seen as a receiver who didn't react well when a quarterback went somewhere else. He was a decoy.
"I didn't like my role," he said. "I understand now that my presence on the field, I don't always have to touch the ball to help the offense score touchdowns."
Randy Moss has caught 982 passes for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns (only Rice has more receiving TDs), but he has never won a Super Bowl. The closest he came was in 2007, when he caught 23 touchdown passes for the Patriots, who went into the big game unbeaten and lost to the Giants.
"I've really wanted a championship on every level," he said. "I've always told myself I wanted to win a championship on this level. Having a Super Bowl ring, I think my career would be complete."
The book is untitled, but "Mossing Someone," now the term used when a receiver makes a catch over a defensive back, wouldn't be bad.
"You hear that phrase, that little slogan, it's hard to believe," he said. "I'm overwhelmed by it."
Seems to be the only thing that overwhelms Randy Moss — as far as we know, and we don't know much.

Durable Scooper
posted 7 years ago
This is a good size scoop, especially for the larger litter boxes which we sometimes use at the shelter. They are inexpensive and fairly durable. They will break and crack after continued use, but last a long time. They can be scrubbed and bleached which is important.
Pros: good size
Cons: none

Did you?
If you have to scoop use this
posted 7 years ago
I love this scoop when I lost my old one and used another one I had on hand it took me twice as long.
The high sides help keep the waste in the scooper thus making your job easier.
Pros: Wide scoop
Cons: None

MARATHON, Ont -- A deal may be on the horizon for the idle pulp mill in Marathon.
The facility has been mothballed since 2009 when co-owner Tembec went bankrupt.
According to Marathon Mayor Rick Dumas, agreements are in place with all parties involved. It's now just a matter of getting the papers signed.
Dumas said the Ministry of the Environment, as well as the former owner and Green Investment Group Inc. have reached a deal.
Tembec takes responsibility for any environmental issues on the site, including remediation. But once the deal is completed, those concerns will likely transfer to the Green Investment Group.

Remember Me
Incorporating a unique blend of three extraordinary acoustic musicians, Jatoba redefines their sound through collective songwriting and extreme rhythmic improvisations. Through the Double Bass, Acoustic Guitars, Baritone Guitar, Mandolin, Sitar and harmonizing vocals, Jatoba displays a very eclectic arrangement of acoustic instrumentation. Jatoba is Jason Scaggs, John Jamison and Jeff Richardson.
The three members of Jatoba first came to play music together in a band based out of Keene, Hew Hampshire and since then have progressed individually and as a whole to create a truly unique style of music. Collectively the members of Jatoba have shared stages/bills with musicians and bands such as Sage Francis, members of Dispatch, Lotus, RAQ, The Breakfast, The Ordinary Way and Deadwood Revival just to name a few.
The roots that Jatoba have planted will hold fast and continue to expand well beyond the aspirations that were founded in the beginning of Jatoba's life. Jatoba is a new beginning with no end in sight. Their music has and will continue to be praised by fans and musicians from all around the nation. With a strong start many people are on board to support an acoustic evolution which will hopefully bring Jatoba's music to the forefront of everyone's forehead. :)

I guess they came to the conclusion after talking with the players that he isn't fit to be a captain.
^ Thread was false.
Veteran center named captain of Amerks
Kevin Porter has been in the Buffalo Sabres organization just three months but the Rochester Americans already know what he's all about as a hockey player.
Porter was named captain of the Rochester Americans by coach Ron Rolston on Tuesday. He announced the decision to the team following practice at Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester Community War Memorial.
"He works hard and there's a lot of experience from other organizations that he brings us," said Rolston, whose team opens the American Hockey League season on Friday at home against the Syracuse Crunch.
This was no dictatorial decision, however. Rolston said it came after consultation with his staff as well as the players.
There were two primary reasons Porter was selected: "His experience and the fact he has already come in and got a lot of respect from his teammates," Rolston said.
Porter was captain at the University of Michigan in his senior year of 2007-08. He wore the "A" as an alternate captain for the AHL's San Antonio Rampage in 2009-10.
"Obviously it's a huge honor," said Porter, who signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres organization in July. "To be captain of any team is a great honor and especially this team."
The alternates will be fourth-year defenseman T.J. Brennan and eighth-year right winger Mark Mancari.

New York's homeless are outraged after a Chinese millionaire promised to provide them each with a fancy lunch in Central Park and $300 each, only to find that they would not be receiving the cash prize.
Chen Guangbiao, a Chinese recycling entrepreneur, organized Wednesday's lunch with the New York City Rescue Mission to provide a three-course meal to 250 homeless people at The Loeb Central Park Boathouse restaurant. Chen had taken out advertisements last week in U.S. newspapers, advertising the unique charity event that promised lunch, along with a $300 cash gift for each attendee.
Chinese and Americans reporters crowded around the Boathouse restaurant on Wednesday to observe the 250 homeless people dining on a three-course meal that was served by suited waiters and included filet mignon, tuna and fruit.

"I'm scarred with what it meant to grow up on the other side of the tracks. I feel the vulnerability and the shame of what that meant as a poor kid. And I see these kids and families and my heart goes out to them," he continued. more >>
