KUALA LUMPUR: The capital will soon have its own version of London's Hyde Park or New York's Central Park.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said his ministry has identified a 162ha piece of government land in the Federal Territory here to be developed into a public park.
"The Cabinet feels that we need to have a huge park like Hyde Park which is a good place for the people to relax and spend their time in a healthy environment," he said.
London's renowned Hyde Park covers 142ha and has 4,000 trees, a lake, meadow, horse rides, playground, band stands and many other facilities.
Ong said the park would be a symbol for Kuala Lumpur as it would be a world-class public park and would be much bigger than the current Lake Gardens which is 91ha.
"The park we have in mind will have a garden, bicycle path, picnic area, jogging path, playground and space for children to play football. All this is being worked out by the landscape department," he said.
He said the creation of the park was in line with the Government's effort to ensure sufficient open spaces and green lungs for the population.
Ong said the site which had been identified was still "untouched by development."
He said his ministry and the Federal Territories Ministry would submit a proposal to the Cabinet and if approved, the planning would start this year.
On the annual National Landscape Day, he said Sungai Buloh was a fitting location benefiting this year's theme "Landscaping, An Industry," because the area had many nurseries and landscaping businesses.
He said the landscaping industry had contributed to the economy but its growth was hindered by factors such as the absence of a permanent site.
"As such, we will assist the industry by creating a Landscape Industrial Village Exposition Centre to provide proper space, infrastructure and promotional activities," he added.

"For works created by individual authors on or after January 1, 1978, copyright protection begins at the moment of creation and lasts for a period of 70 years after the author's death. In the case of "a joint work (prepared by two or more authors) the term lasts for 70 years after the last surviving author's death. "
What is unclear to me is the meaning of "at the moment of creation". Does that mean at the moment the exposure was made? Probably not, since the creative work is not completed at that point, at least not with print film. Does it mean at the moment of development of the negatives? Does it mean when the print was made? I don't know, but these seem to be important questions.
It seems to me that if you develop and print the film then it is a "joint work", and you would have equal interest to the work with the person who snapped the shutter. Under US patent law (which may or may not apply to copyright law, I don't know) unless there is an agreement of other provisions to the contrary, all inventors have 100% undivided interest in the work, which means that each can market or use the work without permission from the others. If copyright law works the same way, and if developing and printing the photos counts as part of the creation, making it a joint work, then it would seem to me that you would be free to sell the work without permission from the persons who snapped the photos.
I am not a lawyer, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

Sebastian Bach was a member of a family that had for generations been occupied in music.
His sons were to continue the tradition, providing the foundation of a new style of music
that prevailed in the later part of the eighteenth century. Johann Sebastian Bach himself
represented the end of an age, the culmination of the Baroque in a magnificent synthesis
of Italian melodic invention, French rhythmic dance forms and German contrapuntal mastery.
Born in
Eisenach in 1685, Bach was educated largely by his eldest brother, after the early death
of his parents. At the age of eighteen he embarked on his career as a musician, serving
first as a court musician at Weimar, before appointment as organist at Arnstadt. Four
years later he moved to Muehlhausen as organist and the following year became organist and
chamber musician to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Weimar. Securing his release with difficulty, in
1717 he was appointed Kapellmeister to Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Coethen and remained at
Coethen until 1723, when he moved to Leipzig as Cantor at the School of St. Thomas, with
responsibility for the music of the five principal city churches. Bach was to remain in
Leipzig until his death in 1750.
As a
craftsman obliged to fulfil the terms of his employment, Bach provided music suited to his
various appointments. It was natural that his earlier work as an organist and something of
an expert on the construction of organs, should result in music for that instrument. At
Coethen, where the Pietist leanings of the court made church music unnecessary, he
provided a quantity of instrumental music for the court orchestra and its players. In
Leipzig he began by composing a series of cantatas for the church year, later turning his
attention to instrumental music for the Collegium Musicum of the University, and to the
collection and ordering of his own compositions.
In Leipzig
Bach began work on his Clavieruebung,
adopting the title from the work of a predecessor in Leipzig, Johann Kuhnau. The third of
the four volumes appeared in 1739 and consists very largely of organ music for the
Lutheran Mass. The collection
opens with an impressive and majestic Prelude in E
flat, and the whole collection ends with a fugue in the same key, known to the
English as the St. Anne Fugue because of the similarity of the subject to a well-known
Anglican hymn-tune of that name.
The Pastorale in F major seems to have been written in
1710 or thereabouts and belongs to the period when Bach was employed as organist at
Weimar. It opens with an Italian-style pastoral movement, familiar from the Christmas Concerto of Corelli, and continues with
three further, apparently disparate movements for manuals only, with a sequence of keys
that is, at the very least, unusual.
The famous D minor Toccata is an early work, probably written
while Bach was organist at Arnstadt or at Muehlhausen, that is in 1706 or 1707, before he
moved to Weimar. The D major Prelude and Fugue
that follow were written in the Weimar years, the latter making energetic and ingenious
use of a relatively simple subject.
The Prelude and Fugue in E minor belong to the first
years of Bach's employment in Leipzig. The fugue is popularly known in England as the
Wedge, because of the shape of the subject. It is preceded by a prelude of particular
Conservatory of Music
The Oberlin
Conservatory of Music, established in 1865, was the first such institution in the United
States of America and is now among the most distinguished, offering its 500 students
training in performance and in other branches of music. The facilities at Oberlin include
two concert halls, 173 practice rooms, and, in its instrument collection, over 300 pianos,
of which 171 are Steinway grand pianos, and 25 organs. There are electronic and computer
music studios containing the most advanced modern equipment for work in this field, and a
library with the largest holding of all undergraduate institutions in the country.
Flentrop Organ
Flentrop Organ, designed and constructed for Oberlin by the distinguished Dutch
organ-builder Dirk Flentrop, was made possible by Frank Van Cleef, whose family has a long
association with the College. It is dedicated to the memory of George Whitfield Andrews,
who taught at the Conservatory for nearly fifty years, until his death in 1932. The
instrument follows the principles established by Flentrop and his father in emulation of
the earlier great European organ-builders, making use of tracker action, slider chests and
traditional casing. The organ was inaugurated in 1974 with an opening recital by
Marie-Claire Alain.
Ruebsam had his early musical training in Germany, France and the United States of
America, and won international recognition when he was awarded first prize at the organ
competition in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the Grand Prix de Chartres. He has given recitals
in many important centres and has taken part in the Los Angeles Bach Festival, the Lahti
Festival in Finland and the Vienna Festival. In 1974 he was appointed to the staff of
Northwestern University, Evanston, and in 1981 to the University of Chicago.

Special Correspondent
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore Corporation has begun works to lay pavements for pedestrians along the busy Huzur Road that falls in the South Zone of the city.
South Zone Chairman P. Pynthamil, who inspected the works along with officials on Monday, said the pavements were a long-felt need as pedestrians ran the risk of getting hit by vehicles on a very busy stretch in the city.
For long, pavements could hardly be distinguished from the road, what with vehicles parked on it.
With the road in front of the Indian Red Cross Society building, a popular spot for demonstrations by political parties and other organisations, protestors and vehicles left very little space for pedestrians.
Vehicles of the members of the protesting parties occupied the footpath along the Jawan's Bhavan, up to the Young Women's Christian Association Hostel.
"This time, we are laying the pavement at more than a foot above the road level and this will ensure that the pavements are only for pedestrians," Mr. Pari said.
The one-km pavement was almost circular. It was being laid around the South Taluk Office and the Red Cross building at Rs.45 lakh.
"Almost 60 per cent of the works are over. The pace slackened a bit earlier because of the rise in the price of construction materials. Now, it is progressing well," he said.
Amount earmarked
The Chairman said that the other heavy traffic stretch to have better pavements was the Bank Road along which the railway station was located. The Corporation had earmarked Rs. 25 lakh for this road.

The delivery was received on time however the goods were damaged.

Public consultation on the ratification by the EU of the Minimata Convention on Mercury
Mercury is an indestructible chemical element, the only metal that is liquid at ambient temperature. It is highly toxic to humans, animals and ecosystems, but it is found in various forms all across the world, in the air, water, sediments, soil and even inside living organisms.
In the presence of bacteria, mercury can change into methylmercury, its most toxic form. The main risk of exposure for human beings is food. Methylmercury accumulates in the food chain, and particularly in fish. Even relatively low doses can seriously affect the nervous system and could also harm the cardiovascular, immune and reproductive systems. Methylmercury readily passes through both the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, so exposure of women of child-bearing age and of children is of greatest concern. You can find more information here.
The EU mercury strategy, launched in 2005, addresses in particular mercury emissions to air, an export ban for mercury and certain mercury compounds and restrictions on products containing mercury and industrial processes using mercury.
As mercury is not stopped by international borders, the EU also endeavours to address the global challenges of mercury. Considerable progress has been made in this respect. Spearheaded by UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, this international process has resulted in 2013 in the international Minamata Convention, named after the Japanese town where the worst ever case of mercury pollution happened in the years 1950.
The European Commission is currently engaged in preparatory work and consultations, aiming to propose in 2015 the ratification of the Minamata Convention by the EU.

NapMachine® From PowerNap Puts '40 Winks' in Your Pocket
BEACHWOOD, Ohio, March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The NapMachine®, a pocket-sized media player that its inventor says facilitates one's ability to have a restorative nap, has been released by PowerNap (powernap.com), a company that has developed and marketed safe and natural sleep aids since 2001.
Inspired by the success of PowerNap CDs that have been purchased by thousands of people needing a way to grab a quick nap, relieve jet lag or more easily fall asleep at night, the NapMachine provides portability and ease-of-use for the unique technology that induces a deep and rejuvenating sleep state without the grogginess that typically accompanies waking from a mid-day nap.
"There's been tremendous demand for a small, dedicated device that can deliver all of PowerNap's features and benefits," said Jonathan Husni, president of PowerNap and its inventor. "With the NapMachine there are no CDs or downloads and it can be used again and again to get what our customers say is the equivalent of 3 hours sleep in just 20 minutes." Husni is so confident of his invention he offers a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
Research has shown that even short periods of sleep–power naps–can reduce stress, increase alertness and improve overall health. A NASA study found that an average nap of twenty-six minutes boosted airline pilots' performance by one-third and experiments by NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) showed that a midday snooze reverses information overload.
Throughout the PowerNap experience, the user hears only the pleasing sound of a waterfall while sound waves–inaudible to the user–play beneath. According to Husni, these sounds reduce Theta waves while increasing Alpha wave activity in the brain. "The PowerNap recording helps induce REM sleep, finally bringing the user to a refreshed state of heightened wakefulness," he said. "People wanting and needing a nap don't often have much time for it, so it's important that they fall asleep quickly. That's why our customers buy PowerNap products and refer them to friends."
Weighing just a few ounces and small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, the NapMachine comes complete with ear buds, a lanyard and AAA battery. The NapMachine is available now at the PowerNap Web site for $69.77 with free shipping within the continental U.S. For more information call 216-292-4878 or send e-mail to email@example.com.

Game 1 (0-1-0)
LOS ANGELES - It was what Kings fans have been waiting for since June. This afternoon, the time finally came to see the Los Angeles Kings have their long-awaited Stanley Cup banner raised to the rafters in addition to each player receiving their Stanley Cup rings. It certainly was a special way to kick off the day. Unfortunately, that was the only highlight for the Kings on this day.
Right from the get-go, the Kings showed a lack of discipline that resulted in an early 5-on-3 man-advantage for the visiting Blackhawks and Patrick Kane made the home team pay by putting Chicago on the board first. The Hawks scored twice more in the frame and entered the first intermission with a 3-0 lead.
After making it 4-0 in the second, the Kings finally got on the board as stay-at-home defenseman Rob Scuderi scored to equal his goal total from all of last season.
It appeared as if the Kings had some momentum after cutting the deficit to two halfway through the third but just seconds later, Chicago's Marian Hossa scored his second of the game to regain the three-goal lead and take the wind right out of the Staples Center.
It was certainly a lackluster effort for the home team but in Los Angeles' defense, in the last 17 years, defending champions playing in games where they raise their banner have only won once. That's not to completely excuse the Kings on their performance this afternoon but just a little food for thought.
It's also worth noting that Darryl Sutter is the only active coach to have been a bench boss during the last 48-game season in 1994-95. Sutter had a slow start to that season coaching the Blackhawks and they wound up going all the way to the Western Conference Final that year. Just a little food for thought.
Reigning Conn Smythe Jonathan Quick didn't look like himself today stopping just 17 of 22 shots but then again, no one would be playing in their first real game coming off back surgery. Kyle Clifford picked up assists on both goals but it was an overall lethargic effort by the Stanley Cup champions. By the looks of things today, they certainly missed defenseman Willie Mitchell and center Anze Kopitar with the latter hoping to be back in the lineup later this week.
So, while the Kings got off on the wrong foot, it's only one game and they hope to turn the tide in time for their next game which will be on Tuesday night when the champs travel to Denver's Pepsi Center to take on the Colorado Avalanche.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Hey, Ted, about that McCarthy hire
Dallas - Milwaukee native Gil Brandt, the former vice president of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys, retains his formidable storytelling skills.
Brandt, who worked for the Cowboys from 1960 to '88, shared some anecdotes about two of the most prominent members of the Packers' organization, general manager Ted Thompson and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Brandt, 77, is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. He now provides content for NFL.com and is a commentator on Sirius NFL Radio.
Brandt said he has known Thompson since he was a player at SMU.
"He hired Mike McCarthy," Brandt said during an interview at the Super Bowl XLV Media Center. "I told Ted, 'I really thought you could have made a better choice than that.' I really wasn't sold on McCarthy. I went to camp up there for three days. About the second day I was there and I told him, 'You know what? You made the right choice.' "
Brandt, said Thompson has been doing a "phenomenal" job with the Packers.
"Ted is not the kind of guy who is going to sit down at the bar and talk to a lot of people and tell them a lot of stories," Brandt said. "But you look at this team. There have only been only three other teams since 2000 that have had 15 or more guys on injured reserve. The other three teams won six or fewer games. They have done a fantastic job."
Brandt praised Thompson for having the "fortitude" to "get rid of" Brett Favre and "hang his hat on" Rodgers.
Brandt recalls the time of the 2005 draft, when Rodgers dropped on the board and was chosen 24th by Green Bay.
Brandt said he witnessed the workouts by Alex Smith and Rodgers, which took place a day apart of one another before the '05 draft. Brandt said Smith worked out on a Wednesday and Rodgers on Thursday.
"In the workout, if you asked who is the best to come in and play right now, Smith looked more ready to play right now," Brandt said.
Both Smith and Rodgers were brought to the draft in New York.
"On Friday afternoon, (NFL senior vice president of public relations) Greg Aiello called me and said, 'Look it, Rodgers is falling. We that know through 20 nobody is going to take him.' So I said I'd talk to him. That night, I took him out to dinner at Carmine's. Before I took him out to dinner, I made a call to (Packers director of college scouting) John Dorsey in Green Bay. I said, 'John, you are going to get Rodgers. Be ready.' He said, 'We're ready. If he's there, we are going to take him.' "
After dinner, Brandt told Rodgers he was going to fall in the draft.
"I said if you don't want to come, because he was there by himself, and he said no I'll face it. The bad thing that happened was that ESPN put the cameras on him, put the cameras on him, put the cameras on him. It's tough for a guy to react to that."
Brandt said scouts don't know how hard a player will work to become better after he is drafted.
"He not only made himself better on the field because of his work ethic, but the guy had a great rapport with all these young players," Brandt said about Rodgers.

News 8 Investigates
DALLAS - As the Dallas City Hall corruption trial enters its ninth week, some observers say more is at stake than just the fate of a former City Council member and his associates.
The questions go beyond guilt and innocence and extend to the sensitive topic of how business and politics are conducted in the southern sector of the city. Some call it "pay to play." Insiders say it's the elephant in the room that has rarely - if ever - been acknowledged by city leaders.
At issue are questionable business practices long ignored and perhaps hidden from the general public. And at the core of the trial, this question: Were former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill and his associates breaking the law, or merely conducting business as usual in the southern sector of the city?
The scandal was made public when the FBI swept down on Dallas City Hall four summers ago, sending shock waves through the political community.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill was suddenly under a cloud of scrutiny and charged with accepting bribes in exchange for his vote. He told the public he was innocent.
Now - four years later - Hill's trial has raised the specter of ethical impropriety involving business and politics in the southern sector of the city.
Hill's attorney Ray Jackson told jurors one day in trial, "The way business is done in South Dallas is in some people's minds a little bit different from the way it's done in North Dallas."
In fact, Jackson's assertions have become a central theme in the trial as the defense attorney tries to convince jurors that his client's side dealings with developers and contractors is not illegal or unusual.
"In South Dallas, you are dealing with minority Council people, so you are having to appease the council people and the people in their districts," Jackson said. "You don't have that same concern in North Dallas."
Reginald Gates, president of the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, said Hill's attorney is unfairly portraying the entire southern sector as unscrupulous and unethical.
"It's offensive to hear someone say that that is, in fact, what you have to do," Gates said. "No - in fact, you have to have good business practices that are accepted, ethical, moral, like you would anywhere else - and that's the expectation we should all have."
But not everyone agrees.
Among those who say they have personally been harassed is white businessman Ralph Isenberg. "Anybody who has done business for any length of time in the southern sector knows the game, and it's a sad game," he said. "And there are those of us that don't play."
Isenberg has successfully managed property in Oak Cliff for 20 years and is a former Dallas City Park and Planning and Zoning commissioner. He said he's been approached many times by some insisting that he "pay to play" in the southern sector.
"My answer has always been real simple: 'Go to hell; you're not going to get money from me,'" Isenberg said.
Despite the pressures, Isenberg says he has prospered and is not alone.
Inland Port developer Richard Allen said he was encouraged to pay specific African-American consultants if he wanted his multi-million dollar investment to succeed in southern Dallas County.
"I've done business for 40 years in 50 cities and never seen anything like it," Allen told News 8, adding that he, too, refused to bow to the pressure.
But when housing developer Brian Potashnik began pursuing projects in southern Dallas, he said he did, in fact, "pay to play."
Potashnik, a central figure in the City Hall corruption scandal, has pleaded guilty to paying bribes to Hill and to his Zoning Commissioner, D'Angelo Lee. Potashnik said he funneled the payoffs through Hill's girlfriend, Sheila Farrington, whom he hired as a consultant. Potashnik testified in court that he paid Farrington $14,000 a month to do little more than launder his bribe money.
Farrington, who is also charged with extortion, insists she was a real consultant doing real work, even though Potashnik was her first client.
But on her own contract with Potashnik, Farrington's name is misspelled in type with her correctly spelled signature just above it. And when Farrington opened her business bank account, she listed her profession as "consulating."
Another way Potashnik and others secured support in the southern sector was through donations to churches. Potashnik testified he gave $50,000 to a minister whose church was near one of his prospective housing developments in southeast Dallas.
But that transaction is not under scrutiny by federal prosecutors.
In 2007, mayoral candidate Tom Leppert listed two payments to southern sector churches as a campaign expense.
Betty Culbreath has served on civic boards and commissions in Dallas for years. She says while she doesn't believe the pay-to-play theory, she does believe questionable business is being conducted in all sectors of the city.
"It's almost like it's a can of worms and they are all in it together," Culbreath said. "Everybody who's anybody is in this together making money off of everything, this influence and this politics. It makes me very, very uncomfortable."
It's worth noting that none of the major political office holders nor their consultants would speak with News 8 on the record for this report. Most would not even return our phone calls.
This is hyper-sensitive subject matter made manifest in one politically-charged corruption trial that becomes more revealing by the day.

Adrianne Curry seems to be transitioning into single life quite nicely; it's basically the same as her married life to Peter Brady, except the late afternoon runs to Koo Koo Roo have now been replaced by seemingly even more risque Twitpic fun, thankfully. We've long ago stopped trying to figure out what Adrianne Curry does all day, provided that days ends with her topless in a hot tub taking pictures, it's more than all good. Enjoy.
(Thanks to 'Jay C.' on Twitter for this early morning head's up.)

Neither it writes a core dump file, nor does it give any root privileges. Did someone with an older system try that? I can't find any confirmations that the issue exists. Thanks.

Newburgh Beacon Bridge Sunset
Janine Riley
Painting - Watercolor
Newburgh - Beacon Bridge Sunset , Original Watercolor painting by Janine Riley
A view of the Newburgh - Beacon bridge from the Newburgh Waterfront .
** fine Art America Logo will not appear on the print **
for Internet display only.
The sun is setting, casting a warm glow on a cool evening over the Hudson river valley .
We're all familiar with the Real Estate term " with a view ".
Sometimes you have to ask yourself - what's a view really worth ?
As I was painting this bridge I was flooded with so many memories of home, and thought back of all the times this bridge was the backdrop to all the comings and goings of our lives.
It is so much more than a span from point A to point B.
There were babies born in St. Luke's and Vassar Brothers hospital. Floors were paced waiting for their arrivals while gazing out over the Hudson river view. Loved ones in surgery, families taking shifts to visit - traveling over this bridge every day.
My father, and a few other family members worked for the NYS Bridge Authority on the bridge.
Trips in the summer to the Dutchess county fair or watching the fireworks over the river on the 4Th of July.
Striper fishing on the river, boating and jet skiing with friends.
Chilly nights spent on the warm hood of the car with a best friend pondering the universe,while listening to the waves lap against the shore.
Reggae night at Gully's, and romantic strolls at the Newburgh Waterfront's restaurants.
Friday night pizza spent at the Cornwall Landing while the children played in the Moodna creek. Every year the Teens gathered for the Prom Pictures with Bannerman's castle off in the distance.
My husband went over this bridge to Poughkeepsie for his drills for the Army Reserves, a wedding was had at Plum point park not long after we met.
The Hudson river and the Newburgh - Beacon bridge, more than a span from point A to point B.
Next time you ask yourself " What is a view really worth ? "
You might just have to answer - " Priceless " .
The Hudson Valley New York; Steeped in Colonial History and rich in New England tradition.
Fine Art quality prints come in a variety of sizes.
Many custom framing options for you to choose from.
Museum quality Canvas prints come ready to hang on your wall.

Dockett uses Twitter to hit on QB's girlfriend
JAN 08, 2013 11:42a ET
After a largely tame early portion of the season, Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett returned to his more vocal and sometimes outrageous self as Arizona's season spiraled out of control.
First, there was the incident against the Jets where he refused to obey a direct order from the coaches to let New York score late in the game so that the Cardinals would have a chance -- albeit a long shot -- to get the ball back, tie the game, then force overtime.
Dockett compounded that error with some sort of dust-up with free safety Kerry Rhodes that some accounts say involved spitting in Rhodes' face, even though Rhodes denied it. Dockett earned a hefty fine (reported at $200,000) for his transgressions, and that led to a rift with now-fired coach ken Whisenhunt.
On Monday, during the BCS national championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama, Dockett (@ddockett) sent out a series of embarrassing tweets while trying to hit on Katherine Webb, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron's model girlfriend.
Here's what he tweeted during the game:
@_KatherineWebb aye u going to king of diamonds Monday after game?
Aye @_KatherineWebb hit me (240) 464-xxxx when game over, lets go to wing stop then King of diamond,
Never mind that Dockett thought Miss Alabama might be willing to join him for some wings and a good time at a gentlemen's club. He also shared his phone number with the world, which led to a full voicemail box within minutes.
After realizing he had made a mistake, Dockett deleted the tweets saying: "Sh*t that was suppose to be DM!".
After this exchange, it's easy to see why some teams would like to curtail free speech and ban the use of Twitter altogether.

text: The Sith Emperor wiki last edited by Loc95 on 05/18/13 08:55AM View full history The Sith Emperor is the primary antagonist of Star Wars: The Old Republic.According to the tie-in novel The Old Republic: Revan the Sith Emperor was originally born on a planet called Nathema, under the name Tenenbrae, the illegitimate son of the Sith Lord Dramath. At age six, he began showing signs of force sensitivity. When this happened, the man who thought he was his father confronted his mother, and upon a confession attacked her. Tenenbrae then snapped his father's neck, and tortured his mother for betraying the family. He made the others in the village bow down to him.Eventually, Dramath, hearing of Tenenbrae's activities, went to see if his son was strong enough to serve the Sith. Tenebrae then killed him, taking his position at thirteen years old, under the name Lord Vitiate. Eventually, he called many Sith Lords together to Nathema, announcing some powerful discovery he had made. Once they were there, he performed a ritual which instantly sapped every living thing on the planet of it's force, killing every lifeform, human, alien, insect, and plant alike, creating a wound in the force which would never heal.As the now immortal and nigh-unstoppable Sith Emperor, he took control over a large portion of the galaxy, which he ruled for millennium. He led a war against the Republic, known as the Great Hyperspace War, but was defeated by the Jedi Order. The Sith retreated, regaining strength slowly over hundreds of years. During this time, two Jedi, Malak and Revan, stumbled across the Empire on Dromund Kaas. He broke their minds, sending them back as the first guard, to lead an offensive against the Republic. The events of Knights of the Old Republic happened then.Eventually, as Revan and Malak did not return, the Emperor assumed they had been defeated by the Republic. It was not until Revan returned in search of his memories that the Emperor learned the truth. The Sith Emperor captured Revan, and has been keeping him prisoner ever since, in a stasis field, fully conscious, but ageless.The Emperor has not been seen as of late, with the Dark Council operating on their own, leading some (such as a cult known as the Revanites) to assume that Revan defeated the Emperor, and took his throne.

Analysis of Woven Fabrics
Not available
ANALYSIS OF WOVEN FABRICS was originally published in 1914.PREFACE. The present treatise may be regarded as a further step towards the more perfect application of scientific method, ensuring that scientific attribute "pre-vision" in the Textile Industries. The author hopes it may be made a basis for further excursions into yet unexplored fields, and that such explorations may result in a still further extension of knowledge. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

I had an urge today to rewatch Tenchi Muyo GXP. I couldn't find a torrent with a rip, so I had to be old fashioned and dig out my DVD set. I think it's the first time I've watched a DVD in a couple of years.
And it's a pain in the ass. I was using MPC-64, and every time I did almost anything (like "next chapter") it switched back to English audio and no subtitles. Then I'd have to switch back to Japanese and subtitles on. Whenever I started a new DVD it would so the same.
I've run into that sometimes with MKV files created by ripping dual-language DVDs or BDs. The file says, "My default language is English" and even if I was just watching a file in Japanese, the damned program switches back again. I have told MPC that I want Japanese audio, and it ignores me.
I want the damned program would do what I say, not what the file says.
(Here's what I don't want: suggestions for other player programs. Thank you for not offering me unsolicited advice.)

Every time out there I see someone say "Shorter XYZ" it always gives me a strange feeling. Because I was the first person that was used for, back in 2003.
It's interesting that my most important and longest lasting contribution to the web could be due to being the target of a sarcastic insult. Not exactly what I would have hoped for, but... well... it's something. A form of immortality, I guess.
Even if no one remembers my involvement in it.

Re-Kan is now revealed as being iyashikei ("healing") anime, which is a big surprise. Not that it's like that every episode -- the school festival episode, for instance, really wasn't -- but that's the main theme. Ep 8 is IMHO the best episode yet in the series, and really well handled.
There was an early RPG called "The Fantasy Trip". It was Steve Jackson's first attempt at doing that kind of game (and it eventually led to him doing GURPS). One of the nasties in the game was called a "revenant". It was the ghost of someone who died with something really important left undone, and they continue as a ghost in order to complete their business. A lot of the stories in this series are about ghosts like that, and this was one of them.
Two of the teachers in the school announce their engagement. They're both popular with the students, so obviously it's a big deal. Back in our favorite classroom, a little girl ghost in a white gown shows up. Initially the only thing she says is "Moriya, Moriya, Moriya". Amami's gang decide to try to teach her to speak, teaching her all kinds of words, and she picks it up fast.
Moriya is the name of the man who is getting married, and the gang does some talking to people. It turns out that when he was little his health was poor, and he spent a lot of time in the hospital. He shared a room with a little girl, and they became friends. He eventually got better and left. She didn't.
Amami invites him to the classroom to meet the little girl.
Amami takes her home that night.
I'm not going to say how it ends, except that I had tears in my eyes. I defy anyone to watch this episode and not feel that way at the end.
Much recommended! Even if you haven't been following this series, you should download and watch this episode. (There isn't any series-level plot line, so watching the episodes out of order isn't a problem.)

This is the school nurse in Shinmai Maou no Testament. I'm going through it now looking for plunder. As usual in cases like this I'm doing it backwards, and the last few episodes don't have a lot I can use, mainly because I don't use censored images, post-MCSA images, rape images or torture images. (Yikes.) But I think I can get away with this one:
I assume I'll get a lot more stuff the closer I get to the beginning of the series. But this won't be a fruitful as some have been.
UPDATE: Other things I avoid: guys, tears, dirt, blood, girls looking terrified, girls crying; it's really cutting down on the selection, I tell you.
UPDATE: Down to ep 3 now, and I'm getting images I can use.
Mio is almost gross, almost Maken-ki sized. Not quite; she's just short of the line. Of course, her figure is superhuman, but that's what you'd expect from a demon, isn't it?

Here's another post about it. It had an interesting point: the show backer is Hobby Japan, and:
Hobby Japan has often used anime as a form of advertisement for their erotic figurines. To my knowledge, every anime project they've backed so far has contained 'stop whatever you're doing and start fapping' levels of nudity.
That's pretty crude, but it got me curious so I took a look at their production record. In addition to this show, I find:
Hagure Yuusha
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls (and Bride)
...and a couple of Queen's Blade shows.
He's right about the nudity; they all have it. But what I find more interesting is that these shows are not invariably crap. I really liked Daimaou, and Hagure Yuusha wasn't terrible (damning with faint praise).
Samurai Girls (and Bride) and Queen's Blade definitely were crap, but this is still one (or one-and-a-half) decent shows to their credit.
So maybe, maybe, Bikini Warriors might be half-way decent.
He brings up a different point: all of the above shows ran uncensored on AT-X. If this one does, too, then we won't have to wait for the BDs for our cheap thrills.
It's a bit of concern that they haven't revealed the anime production company yet or any of the voice talent, with first broadcast less than two months away.
I still expect it to be crap, but I'm holding onto a faint hope that it might actually tell a decent story about interesting characters, amidst all the fan service.
UPDATE: Actually, they are starting to reveal staff. The production company is someone called "feel." They've done a lot of shows, none of which are on my list of "memorable and valued". On the contrary, most of them are on my "in the toilet" list. Like KissxSis (ick). And Otoboku (double ick).

How's this for a name for a computer game? Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed
Well, you can find out what it's about next Tuesday, because it's coming to Steam. (Lots of sample images and a couple of videos at that link.)
In AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead & Undressed, players work to repel a brooding malevolence that has suffused Tokyo's popular electronics district, Akihabara (Akiba for short), which has been painstakingly remodeled in the game to resemble its real life counterpart. Akiba has been invaded by creatures known as "Synthisters" who prey on the otaku patrons of Akihabara like vampires, but feast on their will to live and energy to socialize rather than their blood.
"Will to live and energy to socialize"? Rather thin hunting there, I would think...

By the way, a couple of times today when I've tried to load this site using IE 11, Chooser hasn't loaded. That could be because of the most recent Flash update (which I installed yesterday) and it could be because Pixy is messing around with the code. Either way, it isn't my fault and I don't know how to fix it.
UPDATE: In the first seven episodes of Vivid, I think these are my favorite images:
This is Rio kicking Sein into the next county after Sein sneaked up and groped Rio's chest.
After a day of team fighting, the four lolis are too sore to move.
It's nice to see Hayate's family again.
One of the reasons I like this series so much is that it's placed 4 years after Strikers, and it's like visiting old friends. I also like the fact that it gives me a chance to see how much everyone has changed, and in what way.
Lutecia unquestionably has changed more than anyone else, and it's wonderful. Through most of StrikerS she spoke nearly in a monotone and seemed to be depressed all the time. At the very end she started coming out of her shell. In Vivid she's a genki-girl and obviously very, very happy and outgoing. It's wonderful to see.
Caro is continuing her study of magic and has learned how to do teleports. Agito and Rein have grown to normal size -- a huge surprise. Better, they get along now. Agito isn't baiting Rein any more.
Nanoha really has become the mama. She obviously is a very good one. Vivio is happy, healthy, strong, well behaved, friendly and outgoing, and it's apparent that Nanoha loves Vivio more than life itself. (I mean that literally. At the end of StrikerS Nanoha risked her life to save Vivio, and Vivio knows it.)
It's nice to see that Teanna is no longer driven. She had something to prove and it was warping her. Well, she's proved it now. She's become a shitsumukan, which was her goal, and that is no longer haunting her.
I'm really glad that Nove is a major character. She's a lot of fun, and I expect good things from her.
UPDATE: Whatever the problem is with flash and IE 11, it isn't Pixy's fault. I've been having problems with loading flashes on other sites not related to mee.nu. So it's an issue in the most recent update to Flash from Adobe.
UPDATE: I went to the Adobe site and downloaded an even newer Flash update, and now I don't seem to be having problems.

Dirr's Trees and Shrubs for Warm Climates: An Illustrated Encyclopediaby Michael Dirr
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Following the phenomenal success of Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs, written for gardeners in the climates of USDA zones 3-6, this companion volume is a superlative photographic encyclopedia of trees, shrubs, and vines for "warm temperate" zones. In North America, these areas (zones 7-11) stretch from the Mid-Atlantic states to the South, include most of Texas and the Southwest, and encompass the entire West Coast, up to western Canada. Many parts of the British Isles, Australia, and New Zealand experience similar conditions. In a nutshell, any gardener who lives in an area where average winter temperatures do not fall below 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius) will want this book, and curious gardeners in colder zones may well want to test these select plants in their local microclimates.
This remarkable volume shows both the habit and details — flower, fruit, bark, fall color — of more than 400 species and describes hundreds more cultivars and varieties. Certain genera offer myriad hybrids and selections, and photographs of many of the best of these are included as well — nearly 40 named crapemyrtles, a dozen teaolives, and 11 loropetalums. In all, more than 1400 photographs join with the authoritative text to bring the plants to life.
From Abelia to Ziziphus, gardeners will encounter many new and unfamiliar plants that thrive in warmer climates. Dirr gives special attention to hardy palms that can survive outside the subtropics. The book also reflects the author's inimitable personality, which holds nothing back when a plant deserves outright acclaim ("If prescriptions could be written for perfect garden plants, this species would come close to filling the order"), backhanded praise ("Use for accent, for novelty, or to drive visitors loony"), or frank condemnation ("Splays to the point of no redemption with time").
The book concludes with useful lists for selecting plants for a variety of conditions or for ornamental characteristics, such as flower color and fragrance, fruit, and fall color.
Book News Annotation:
Intended for gardeners in the South, as well as the West Coast as far north as British Columbia (primarily USDA zones seven to nine and even to zone 11), this handsomely illustrated reference details the flowers, fruit, bark, fall color, hardiness, cultivation requirements, and landscape uses of some 400 woody plant species and nearly 500 additional cultivars and varieties, from vines and groundcovers to shrubs, sub-shrubs, die-back shrubs, and trees. Especially useful is his coverage of cold hardy palms and extensive coverage of such genera as Osmanthus and Quercus, particularly the evergreen oaks.

NYC Hypnosis Training: Hypnotherapy NYC E. Demos the Dr. Flowers Hypnotic induction at the new york city hypnosis certification training in new york city. The New York City Hypnosis Center run by Professor John Petrocelli is considered the #1 in actual hands-on hypnosis learning skills.
Most hypnosis trainings offer little more skill sets than if you stayed home, saved your money and read a book. Professor Petrocelli's training, which was designed for his New York Internship program, gives you the practical training and experience that will have you hypnotizing others, BEFORE the class is officially over, with a better skill set than hypnotists with ten years out in the field.

Are there certain RPGs that you will just not play even though you like RPGs?

I'm not really a fan of hack-and-slash or action RPGs like Dragon Age with over-the-top blood, guts, and gore. It just doesn't make for an appealing game to me. I also don't play MMORPGs anymore because I like my games to actually end at some point.
Are there any RPGs that, despite being in the RPG genre, you guys just don't care to play at all?
Hack and slash
loli JRPG
Kids save the world
Using emotion or feeling
Guardians/summons/mythical beasts/robots
Help X with their emotional problems
standing in lines
stupid villians with stupid motives
fighting god or equivalent
Generic deaths
crappy Jpop music
boring environments with no character or story
cliched stories
boring brain dead buff, heal, attack gameplay
Lack of any challenge
Auto level
no back tracking
no actual roleplaying
playing as people you absolutely think are idiots and hate.
Generic enemies with the same weakness in different color schemes

Neptunia. The one game ive seen that really does have elements that fit the loli term.
Now playing : Mass Effect, Bulletstorm
The Hyperdimension Neptunia series doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. The character designs and plot (from what I've seen on Wiki and the like) don't interest me.
Generally, I'm all over anything from Final Fantasy and the Atelier series to Dragon Age and the Souls titles.
MGO (EU): Envirasu [Dream Cats]
Final Fantasy 14

a better question would be what games does he play because a lot of the characteristics he said are not exclusive to RPGs
Swann:This is the last time.I'm tired of running damage control every time he makes a mess
Campbell:Right.You're the control,and if that fails,I'm the damage
Don't like card battle games (Kingdom Hearts CoM)- also see FF8 which basically made its card minigame necessary as the means to get some of the best equips. Thankfully FF9 more or less trivialized its card game as something optional.
Also, see Pokemon card game, Magic: the gathering, anything like that.

Is there a way in DS4.5 to get a symmetry function on Genesis? Like in Poser, copying the right side to left, in whole or in part. Right arm to left arm, etc.
We do have it in DS4.5. Go to the Parameters Pane with figure selected and click on the Options Box/Arrow at the top right hand side of the Parameters Pane. When you click you get a drop down box with an option for Symmetry.

Thanx, I'll give it a try.
Let us know if you need help with it. I don't know Poser that well so I cannot compare the tow functions.
The same tool can also be found under Edit>Figure>Symmetry.
Not interested in the giant leap backwards that is "Genesis 2".

Wow, we haven't seen former teen rocker slash actress Taylor Momsen in some time. Apparently, she was off getting even taller, with even longer legs, which she was flashing while all gothed up for a music video shoot in New York City.
I'd like to say that Taylor Momsen lived up to her rebellious underage promise, but, sadly, she's kind of gone dark since her punky showy exhibitionist pre barely legal times. And I don't mean dark as in more drinking, smoking, and carousing. That would actually work out well. But just absent from the ogling landscape. Perhaps this is a sign of hotter things to come. Or maybe just taller things. Enjoy.


text: I have similiar questions for the related Kallitype process. Since it is recommended the coated paper not be dried with heat, can the sheets after drying be stacked? And after they are coated and dried, how soon should they be used? I would probably prefer to make 10-15 sheets in advance. To reiterate Annie's question can the pt/pd papers be air dried and stacked?

At the border of the two Germanys, a group of Jewish partisans are trying to move to the West to reach the promised land, aided by Erlin's protégé, Curtis Hawk.

And in the ruins of Nuremburg, the Cold War begins, as the grand alliance between the Houses is shattered, and Erlin sides with the Allies, and Dyo with the Soviets.
