Kent A. Ono, Contemporary Media Culture and the Remnants of a Colonial Past (New York: Peter Lang, 2009), 167 pp.
Reviewer: Pramod K. Nayar
Kent Ono's task in this book is to demonstrate how colonial ideologies persist in veiled, shadowy but palpable forms in contemporary media culture. The underlying assumption here is that "colonialism has gone underground, is shrouded by discourses that deny it . . . [yet] exists and continues to operate and function" (13). Ono also proposes that we need intersectional approaches to understand contemporary, neocolonial ideologies and politics where we foreground not only racism but also other "oppressive relationships" based on social variables like ethnicity, class, sexuality, colonialism, and the nation (16).
Ono opens with the cult TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, now the subject of considerable cultural studies work. Ono proposes that the series subtly codes the vampire as a metaphoric figure who threatens racial boundaries. At work, Ono suggests, is a white 'heroification' where the white woman saves humanity from dark people. White power is, Ono argues, the normative, maybe even the normal.
Chapter Two takes an entirely different event as its case study. The pending sale of the Seattle Mariner's baseball team became a media spectacle. The entire event was projected in American mass media as embodying the imminent and real threat Japan posed to an all-American cultural practice like baseball. The 'yellow peril' discourse, Ono demonstrates, recalled the Pearl Harbor events, but modulated it to showcase the threat as primarily economic rather than military.
The threat the black man—especially in the African context—poses to the virtuous white woman is the underlying discourse of the children's TV show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, argues Ono in Chapter Three. Rescuers are technologically enabled, clad in white attack suits whereas the 'villain' is initially dressed in a mock gorilla suit but then turns Primator.
The children's animated film, Pocahontas, writes Ono, gives us contrasting white men in the quiet, benevolent John Smith and the mercenary Ratliffe. The love story of Smith and Pocahontas, argues Ono, is embedded in traditional colonial tropes: of the savagery of the Native Americans and of the oppressive patriarchal system that traps Pocahontas in a marriage. Even though the film, in Ono's reading, is situated within contemporary debates about postfeminism and environmentalism, it ends up justifying colonialism.
In the final chapter Ono examines one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is now no longer the explore-and-colonize theme, Ono argues, but the reach-and-rescue one that informs the classic tale. The plot, of rescuing a white woman captured by Ansata, echoes the 'war on terror'. Palestinian resistance and terrorism provide the allegorical models for the episode, argues Ono.
Ono's aim, as he states throughout the book, is to examine how 'ordinary culture' participates in the neocolonial project by recalling, reworking, and recasting traditional tropes, ideologies, and politics from the colonial period. While this is an admirable attempt, Ono's book remains at the level of a commentary rather than incisive scholarship for several reasons. One episode of a TV series cannot stand in for an entire series. While it might be symptomatic, to make a case on one episode is not convincing enough. Ono's problem is that he tries to do too much—sexuality, race, gender, and ethnicity—in what is essentially a slim volume. The book also ignores numerous studies of popular culture in which some of these themes have been addressed. Insightful, however, is the observation he develops mainly in the conclusion that the rescue narrative is at the heart of neocolonial discourse, just as it once was in the colonial period.

It's time to plant the annuals. Gardeners and HOAs are spending lots of time, effort and money installing flowers for the season; it's a good thing that it is not just the social season but the season when many favored flowering annuals grow best along the Treasure Coast.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Mayor Bill Bunten will issue a proclamation for Topeka, Kansas to be known as "Google, Kansas, the Capital City of Fiber" for the month of March. (VIDEO INCLUDED)
It's a way city officials are helping promote the capital city against our competitors also vying for Google's attention, including Grand Rapids, Michigan and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Bunten says the proclamation is just for fun. He says he hopes it will encourage Topekans to support continuing efforts in the race.
Meanwhile Shawnee County is conducting an online survey to determine interest in Google's high speed internet service.
The service would bring internet between 100 and 1,000 times faster than speeds currently offered in our area.

Sack streak
The Jaguars have allowed at least one sack in 44 straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL. Over the last 44 games, six different Jaguars quarterbacks have taken a sack: Blaine Gabbert (62), Chad Henne (28), David Garrard (23), Trent Edwards (4), Luke McCown (4) and Todd Bouman (1). The St. Louis / Phoenix Cardinals (franchise moved to Arizona in 1988) hold the NFL's longest streak of allowing at least one sack, from Week 6, 1984 to Week 16, 1988 (74 games).
Associated Press
Last season, J.J. Watt had more sacks on his own (20.5) than the Jaguars had as a team (20). Since 2009, the Jags have 91 total sacks, led by Jeremy Mincey's 16, and are the only team with fewer than 100.
Associated Press/NFL
Rushing leaders
In 2011, Maurice Jones-Drew became only the second player in NFL history (first in the modern era) to lead the NFL in rushing on a team ranked last in the league in total offense, joining Eddie Price of the 1951 New York Giants. Price led the NFL in rushing with 971 yards (80.9 YPG) that season, while the Giants' offense was worst in the league, averaging 241.7 YPG. Jones-Drew's 1,980 total net yards accounted for 47.7 percent of Jacksonville's offense.
Associated Press/USA TODAY Sports
Drafting Aggies
A rookie Jaguar is now part of an impressive streak. For the third straight year, a Texas A&M Aggie was selected in the top 10: Luke Joeckel in 2013, Ryan Tannehill in 2012 and Von Miller in 2011. Previous to this three-year stretch, Texas A&M hadn't had a player go in the top 10 since Sam Adams was drafted by the Seahawks in 1994. Joeckel is joined by fellow Aggie teammate, safety Steven Terrell, on the Jaguars.
Associated Press
Starting quarterbacks
Blaine Gabbert is 5-19 as a starting quarterback, accounting for 21 total touchdowns. As a rookie in 2011, Gabbert started 14 games and had 12 pass TDs, while last season he started 10 games and threw nine touchdowns. The last quarterback taken in the top 10 to account for fewer total TDs than starts in each of his first two seasons was the Bengals' Akili Smith, whose NFL career lasted only four seasons.
Associated Press
Coaching carousel
From 1995 to 2010, the Jaguars were a model of consistency with two head coaches: Tom Coughlin and Jack Del Rio. The only team with fewer men in charge during that span was the Tennessee Titans, solely led by Jeff Fisher. However, since 2011, not only have the Jags changed ownership and replaced GM Gene Smith with Dave Caldwell, but they've had four men occupy the head coach's office -- Jack Del Rio, Mel Tucker, Mike Mularkey and Gus Bradley -- the most turnover in the NFL.
NFL/Associated Press
Top 10 picks
The Jaguars have made a top-10 selection in the draft every year since taking Florida DE Derrick Harvey eighth overall in 2008, the longest active streak in the NFL. In the common draft era, the only team to pick in the top 10 in more consecutive drafts is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who "accomplished" the feat in seven straight years from 1985 to 1991.
Keith Srakocic/Associated Press
Rushing against the Steelers
In 2000, Fred Taylor rushed for a career-high 234 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers -- a Jaguars single-game high. Not only is it a Jaguars team high, it's a high for the Steelers as well. Taylor's 234 yards are the most anyone has had against the vaunted Pittsburgh defense in their 80-year history.
Associated Press
Rushing against the Colts
In 2006, the Jaguars -- fueled by 131 rushing yards from Fred Taylor and 166 rushing yards from rookie Maurice Jones-Drew -- rushed for 375 yards in a game against the Colts. That total is tied for the ninth most in a single game since 1950 and the most the Colts have allowed in franchise history. The yardage also is significant because the Colts went on to win Super Bowl XLI that season, making it the most an eventual Super Bowl champion ever has allowed in NFL History.
Associated Press
Losing to the Titans
In 1999, the Tom Coughlin-Mark Brunell-Jimmy Smith Jaguars finished the season 14-2, which was the best record in the AFC. They beat the Dolphins 62-7 in the divisional round in what would be Dan Marino's last game, but lost in the AFC title game to the Titans. Counting playoff games, all three of the Jaguars losses that season came against the Tennessee Titans, the only time in NFL history that a team with three losses has lost all those games to the same team.

How to configure encrypted LVM on Mandriva 2010 Spring
Mandriva Linux is one of the distributions with built-in support for the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in the installer. As a disk partitioning and management system, LVM brings a level of flexibility to disk management in a manner that is not possible with the traditional disk management scheme. There is no downside to using it. So if your distribution has support for it, it is highly recommended that you use it.
This tutorial gives step by step guidance, with more than 22 screenshots, on how to configure encrypted LVM on Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring, the latest release of the distribution. While plain LVM provides disk management flexibility, encrypted LVM offers an added bonus – increased physical security of the computer. Disk encryption is one of the methods you can employ to boost the physical security rating of your computer.
It is assumed that you are installing Mandriva alone on a computer with a single disk. There may be other considerations to make if you are trying to dual-boot with another distribution, or install it on a computer with multiple hard drives.
If you have your Mandriva installation media ready, let's begin the installation.
Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring offers three boot options. For this tutorial, I've chosen to install it without booting into the live CD. If you are in the live CD already, just click on the Install icon on the desktop to begin the installation. On the boot screen, select the option as shown in the image below and hit the Enter key.
To reduce the number if images used in this tutorial, the next five screenshots having to do with Language selection, License, Timezone, Date and Clock Settings, and Keyboard Layout, have been omitted. The default choice on the steps in question should be the correct one, so all you need to do is click on the Next button. Be careful: The Mandriva installer lacks a back button. So double check your choices before clicking Next.
Back to screenshots. This is the window you'll see after the five that were omitted. Click Next to begin the disk partitioning aspect of the installation.
Because we are trying to create a partitioning scheme that is different from Mandriva's default, select the Custom disk partitioning option as shown below. Next.
Just a friendly warning from the installer to backup your data before proceeding with the installation. Assuming you have nothing to backup. Ok.
Now the fun part is about to start. On the system used for this tutorial, the size of the hard disk is just about 51 GB. Yours will likely be in the hundred gigabyte range. Size in this case doesn't matter. All that's required here is to select the disk and click the Create button.
Note: Mandriva's installer is not a very smart one. It does not seem to be able to detect an existing installation on the hard drive that you are trying to install it on. So if you intend to dual-boot Mandriva with another Linux distribution, like Fedora, it is recommended that you install Mandriva first, then the other distro.
Since we are trying to create an LVM-based partitioning scheme, we must first create a separate partition for /boot. A default installation of Mandriva uses just 21 MB of the space allocated to /boot, but you can be generous. For this tutorial, /boot has been allocated 432 MB. Select the file system type and mount point as shown in the image, and click Ok. Encryption of this partition will not be accepted, so ignore the Encrypt partition option.

Oh, thanks for mentioning that. That´s a shame! PCLOS is very polished, but they missed that one.
Which KDE-Distro would You recommend? Mandriva, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, MintKDE? I would prefer an encrypted installation. I think this is possible via the alternative installer of Kubuntu.
Chakra isn´t stable yet, setting up Arch is too much fiddling around for me.
Thank You very much for this How-To! A couple of days ago I failed doing this. I went with an installation of PCLOS, as it is based on Mandriva, yet features all codecs preinstalled. Plus both run relatively fast for using KDE4 as their DE.

This is just covering one section this time, but it covers multiple parts at the same time
Stuff You Thought Was Good Was Just Made Obsolete
This kinda continues off from my section about streamlining the game's progression, but this focuses on parts of the game that involves playing it. It certainly surprised me how good they ended up being, even when I already thought it was good enough in the first Mario Galaxy. Turns out Miyamoto just proved us wrong.
The first order of business is the Prankster Comets. If you recall from the first game, Prankster Comets were randomized events that would change the behavior of a Galaxy, allowing you to take one of 5 challenges, based on which galaxy it was. There were Speed Run, Cosmic Race, Daredevil, Double Speed, and Purple Coin challenges. And each challenge followed their rules to the letter. Speed Run had you complete the level in the allotted time, Cosmic Race made you race a doppelganger to the star, and so on. They added some new challenges and twists to levels you already went through, and you were more likely to fail than you would have with the normal levels.
Galaxy 2 does something with those comets that I never thought of doing by tweaking even further to suit that particular galaxy. Double Speed galaxy is just as underused as it was in the first game, though the levels that DOES use it really make it work, even if it doesn't feel changed enough from the first game. Although gone are Cosmic races, the comet stars are all variations of Purple Coin, Speed Run, Daredevil, the new Cosmic Clone game mechanic used in regular levels, or just a combo of any of the above. Add this with tweaked level design (something Galaxy 1 didn't do a whole lot, if at all), and the Comet challenges feel like their own levels now than just a basic mechanic added to the mix. And they're even more devilish than in the first game.
Another good thing that has been improved (in fact, in the first game, it was almost ignored) are that coins have value again. Super Mario Galaxy 1 introduced and put an emphasis on Star Bits. In fact, TOO much of an emphasis on star bits. Coins were only there if you somehow lost a chunk of your health, otherwise, you were collecting a butt load of star bits, and were always ready to feed a hungry luma back at the hub or during a level. Now, the game encourages you to get as many of those coins as you can, because you'll need them during the levels.
The first instance of this comes from finding a secret spot in the Hightail Falls galaxy (the first use of the chili pepper on Yoshi) You find an old penguin who talks to you about the value of coins. And what do you see later in the level? A Hungry Luma. The difference? He requires you to feed him COINS. Doing this unlocks a path to a secret star, putting you one step closer to completing the galaxy. And you'll come across more of them.
Also, coins have good value on the Starship Mario. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock two luma shops which can be found inside a room accessible via warp pipe. The first one lets you do a single dice roll for star bits or 1-ups for 30 star bits. But the second one lets you do 5 rolls for the same prizes but for a hundred coins. Some of those 1-ups can be helpful, and since all the coins you get in a level go into your overall total, much like star bits, it's a good thing to get as much as you can. In fact, those coins came in handy for me when I need to stock up on 1-ups so I could make it through the very final challenge of the game (more on that later). Looking back on the first game, I have no idea why I did not notice coins being neglected, I just got them whenever, didn't think about it, as my focus was on going through the levels and collecting star bits. Coins are back in full force!
Lastly, while this one isn't available soon enough, it's much better than what it was in the last game. Luigi is accessible much earlier in the game. Once he joins your crew, he'll be waiting for you at the start of some levels and will give you the option to switch with him. To be honest, I've been rather surprised at the fact some people did not notice the difference between Mario and Luigi from a gameplay perspective. It isn't really that different from how it was in Galaxy 1, so all I had to worry about was using his control style properly during the new levels. The differences between the brothers is that Luigi can jump higher, but has less traction when running, so it takes a little bit to start going and a little bit to stop moving. They seem minor when looking at them, but I personally see the differences adding an extra challenge. Yeah, "slippery controls" sounds like a poor excuse for added difficulty, but when those attributes have been part of Luigi's character from the start, you can't really blame it for poor control. Still no major advantages or disadvantages, just minor things as well as who you prefer to play as.
Anyway, that's not all he's there for. When you beat the final boss for the first time (minimum stars required is 70), you unlock the Luigi Door on the Starship Mario, which lets you switch between the two brothers in game, versus doing it before loading up the game file. Now you can play or replay levels as either Mario or Luigi. When replaying levels as Luigi though, you can unlock a staff ghost of sorts for that particular star. To be honest, I haven't really gone through those, nor do I plan to, but from what I gather, it works much like what a staff ghost would in a racing game. It's a recording of one's time on that level, and I've heard it isn't just straight going through the level to the end. Some of it leads to little nooks in the level, like 1-ups or comet medals or something. Again, I don't know, but if anyone has done it, I'd like to hear more impressions on that.

ABC WORLD NEWS Dramatically Closes Gap with NBC
For the week of January 28, 2013, "ABC World News with Diane Sawyer" averaged 8.67 million Total Viewers and a 1.9 rating/7 share/2.24 million in Adults 25-54, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Growing over the previous week (8.26 million and 2.12 million, respectively, on w/o 1/21/13) in Total Viewers (+5%) and Adults 25-54 (+6%) for the 3rd time in the last 4 weeks, "World News" drew its most-watched week of the season, while hitting the season's 2nd-strongest performance in the key adult news demo (week of regular telecasts).

We had the thrill of hosting the Doing the Right Thing promotional tour on the Berkeley campus this past Sunday (http://www.colsoncenter.org/ethics). Chuck Colson, our featured speaker for the night, noted that we had more than 700 people out for the event, despite the fact that the Superbowl was going on. PTL!
During the course of the evening, the panelists often returned to the theme that an ethical society is grounded on virtuous character, and that the family is the central place of character formation. What then is the place of families in God's vision for his redeemed? Yesterday and today's DT texts got me thinking about this question. As central as the family is to God's design for human life, it seems that there's a larger context in which these families are to exist. In the OT, this was the tribe: kinsmen living out their shared values on a specific plot of land, in close proximity with one another. The OT tribe becomes the NT church, and families are to exist in the context of the larger community of faith, localized in close, face-to-face, daily life together. In fact, within the church, the once airtight boundary around the physical family starts to become more porous, as Jesus draws a new line around the idea of family to include the entire church community. Only such a community can concretely embody the richness of biblical values in a distinctly Christian culture.
The nuclear family in America is typically a dysfunctional and contentious place. The passing down of values from one generation to the next is often disrupted by the intrusion of distantly produced cultural influences, and most parents end up frustrated or resigned. Character formation, the pressing challenge of the day, cannot simply be assigned to the family without a general critique of how the typical American family is situated. The character of the family itself must be formed in the context of a clan-like Christian community of the sort the bible repeatedly describes and assumes.
I don't want this entry to turn into a full-blown biblical-sociological essay, so I want to encourage you to consider the DT text this week with these issues in mind. Consider the disconnected nature of both the typical family and church situation in America—families driving in for church once a week, to gather for several hours, and then to scatter again, no one knowing what anyone else is doing for the rest of the week. Compare this picture with the one presented in the bible, with the question of culture and character formation in mind.

Should We Blame Soda or Energy Drinks For the Sudden Rise Of Strokes In Children?
|Note: February 14th, 2011, 3 days after I wrote this blog, there was a study published in the AAP Journal Pediatrics 'Health Effects of Energy Drinks on Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults' which stated: "energy drinks are consumed by 30% to 50% of adolescents and young adults…and "known and unknown pharmacology of agents included in such drinks, combined with reports of toxicity, raises concern for potentially serious adverse effects in association with energy-drink use. In the short-term, pediatricians need to be aware of the possible effects of energy drinks in vulnerable populations and screen for consumption to educate families."
Hannah Gardener, an epidemiologist at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, found in a study of 2,564 seniors, all around 70 years old, that those who drank a diet soda a day were at a higher risk of stroke for some reason than those that did not. While of interest mainly to the senior population, why is there almost no media mention that according to CDC researcher Mary George, MD., that in the past ten years there has been a dramatic increase in strokes for those under 45 years old, including children aged 5 to 14.
"Among children aged 5 to 14, stroke rates increased 31% among boys and 36% among girls. "
From 1994-1995 to 2006-2007, strokes rose:
- 51% among males aged 15 to 34, from 9.8 to 14.8 per 10,000 hospitalizations.
- 17% in females aged 15 to 34, from 3.6 to 4.2 per 10,000 hospitalizations.
- 47% in males aged 35 to 44, from 36 to 52.9 per 10,000 hospitalizations.
- 36% in females aged 35 to 44, from 21.9 to 30 per 10,000 hospitalizations.
There may not be that many seniors drinking a diet soda a day.
"The opposite pattern was seen among older people. In people aged 45 to 64, strokes declined 12% and 13% in men and women, respectively. In the 65 and older set, strokes dropped 25% and 28% among men and women, respectively."
Not that it's time to defend diet soda, or processed foods, or fast foods, or any other possible contributor that has been part of our diets as a society for half a century or more. We are talking about a dramatic rise in strokes since 1995 in a population not prone to strokes. We know one risk is obesity, but data published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2010 suggests that obesity rates have not increased, but remained steady over the past 10 years.
Perhaps we should try to look at new additions to our diets that could have been consumed by pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as children and young adults who are all now at higher risk of stroke.
There is one new drink that entered the United States in 1997 that is illegal in some countries due to health warnings and deaths attributed to it. It's a drink that is favored by the ages with the most dramatic rise in strokes. Red Bull. And it's not just Red Bull, it's the fad of energy drinks out there today that want to take part in the multi billion dollar industry. And if one believes diet soda to be high in sodium, you may want to take note that most energy drinks have over three times the amount of sodium of a soda –diet or not.
One doesn't have to search hard to find numerous studies linking energy drinks to increased health risks:
Detrimental Effects of Energy Drink Consumption on Platelet and Endothelial Function
"Energy drink consumption has been anecdotally linked with sudden cardiac death and, more recently, myocardial infarction. As myocardial infarction is strongly associated with both platelet and endothelial dysfunction, we tested the hypothesis that energy drink consumption alters platelet and endothelial function.
Fifty healthy volunteers (34 male, aged 22±2 years) participated in the study. Platelet aggregation and endothelial function were tested before, and 1 hour after, the consumption of 250 mL (1 can) of a sugar-free energy drink. Platelet function was assessed by adenosine diphosphate-induced (1 μmol/L) optical aggregometry in platelet-rich plasma. Endothelial function was assessed via changes in peripheral arterial tonometry and expressed as the reactive hyperemia index (RHI).
Compared with baseline values, there was a significant increase in platelet aggregation following energy drink consumption, while no change was observed with control (13.7±3.7% vs 0.3±0.8% aggregation, respectively, P <.01). Similarly, RHI decreased following energy drink consumption (−0.33±0.13 vs 0.07±0.12 RHI [control], P <.05). Mean arterial pressure significantly increased following energy drink consumption, compared with control (P <.05). Heart rate was unaffected by energy drink consumption.
Energy drink consumption acutely increases platelet aggregation and decreases endothelial function in healthy young adults.
In recent years an increasing number of different energy drinks have been introduced to provide an energy boost. They contain high levels of caffeine and other additives that act as stimulants. Several recent studies present that energy drinks could increase the risk of seizures, acid-base disorders and cardiovascular events. The authors report a 28-year-old man who was brought to the emergency room after sudden onset of tonic-clonic seizures and metabolic acidosis after drinking several cans of a caffeinated energy drink. The authors believe that this clinical picture was caused by caffeine intoxication from an energetic drink causing a syndrome of catecholamine excess. The patient was discharged within a week with no complaints and no neurological signs. Finally, recognising the features of caffeine intoxication and its potential health consequences may be especially relevant when treating younger persons who may be more likely to consume energy drinks.
And of course there is at least one study that links drinking just one can of Red Bull to increased stroke risk. But perhaps the blame shouldn't all be on energy drinks, we can't forget super size me meals, and coffee in sizes that are larger than your stomach. We also know we live in a world with processed foods, hidden toxic risks, super bugs, all which can affect the metabolic system and the delicate mitochondria which can be the root of many of today's health issues including stroke.

And for those that wonder what is there to drink that is healthy; there are many things including but not limited to water and juices. All it takes is a quick look at the ingredient label to note:
- Is the product natural and are there any preservatives?
- Does the product state it's tested free of heavy metals?
- Does the product state it's tested free of herbicides and pesticides?
- Does the product state it's tested free of hormones and synthetic contaminants?
- Does the product state it's tested free of caffeine and other stimulants?
- Are all the ingredients safe for children?
- If there is saturated fat, sodium, or sugar in the product, how much?
Based on the results of the study just published in the Journal Pediatrics, together with the study just published by the CDC that documents the recent increase of strokes in children and young adults in the past decade, perhaps the next study should examine any links between the rise in strokes in children and young adults and the introduction of energy drinks to the US.
While it's important to know that those around 70 years old shouldn't drink a diet soda a day to decrease their risk of stroke; shouldn't we also be concerned how to help today's 7 year old even make it to 70 years old?

This journal has been revised in many places. Additional information and examples have been added but some information will appear only if you HOVERThis is an example! Please hover over the other ALL CAPS keywords to reveal more information! over certain keywords.
An AllMate is an AI companion capable of speech that assists its owner in day-to-day life. One may hook the AllMate up to a COIL and allow the AllMate to facilitate the device's functions, like verbally conveying directions from the GPS.
Each AllMate comes with a programmed personalityPlease note that this doesn't mean your OC programs it themselves; they simply choose it and the makers program it. that the owner can choose. They can come in many forms resembling objects, humans, or animals; however, in this group, your character must start out with an animal AllMate.Any other kind of AllMate is rare and will be mostly limited to mod characters and/or NPCs. AllMates are constructed from synthetic material, so your character won't have the allergic reactions that they might have to normal animals.
Currently, GO Entertainment is the sole manufacturing company of AllMates. Although they can be shipped worldwide (at a great cost), the only place where AllMates are common in everyday life is in Midorijima.
★ Starter AllMates can be mammals, birds, fish, arthropods (insects), reptiles and amphibians!
the AllMate Creation Guidelines
We discourageDiscourage does NOT mean ban. Exotic species and wild animal species are still allowed as long as they follow the size limit. HOWEVER, you will have a lower chance of getting into the group.
Use your own judgement to decide whether or not you want to risk entering with a rare species. If you have confidence that your application is decent enough to pass with the species disadvantage, feel free to create an exotic species AllMate. If you aren't very confident in your application, please stick to a common house pet species.
Because during the first opening, we accepted a large number of exotic / wild animal species, this opening we encourage members to choose smaller and more inconspicuous species that do not stand out in (Japanese) society as their AllMate (e.g. cats, dogs, etc.) members from picking large / exoticBy exotic, we mean animals that are NOT commonly kept as pets. Wikipedia has a very helpful list of species on what is considered exotic.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_p… / common or uncommon wild animal species as their AllMate.
Word of advice: If you have to think twice about a species, you may not want to choose it. For example:
Thought 1: "I want a ______!"
Thought 2: "Wait, is that small enough?"
Please also review this list of species already taken by current members to avoid creating duplicate species or duplicate AllMate names: CLICK!
Please read through these guidelines carefully before asking any questions. Asking questions that are clearly answered in the journals will reflect negatively on your chances of getting accepted.
- No mythical or extinct species. It must be extant in real life.
- It must be mobile, not sessile Definition: permanently attached; not freely moving.
Definition from Dictionary.com.
- Mutants or handicapped AllMates are not allowed. GO Entertainment will never sell "factory mistakes" and damaged or dysfunctional AllMates. If your AllMate is broken, it can be fixed. Repair costs are relatively affordable in most cases so it shouldn't be a problem for most AllMate owners. Special circumstances, regardless of how well it's explained, will be be judged aggressively.
- It must be a single animal (e.g.: no swarm of bees).
- You are allowed to add accessories to your AllMate and alter their colors any way you want. But please, nothing inappropriate.
- AllMates may NOT have special abilities or extraordinary features. Please remember that AllMates are the same weight and have the same basic physical capabilities as their real animal counterparts, like speed, strength, and flexibility, but not any other special abilities like poison, shedding skin, regrowing limbs, etc.
- Try your best to depict the animal realistically in your application art! We are not expecting it to look photorealistic; this rule is less to make you draw the animal super realistically and more to keep you from purposefully giving the AllMate unrealistic features. For example, if you were drawing a snake, we do not expect you to draw every scale out; we just don't want to see a lady snake with eyelashes or something like that. If you have any questions about what's "realistic enough," feel free to ask!
- Follow the size limit guidelines. Use common sense when picking an animal. Your AllMate will follow your character almost EVERYWHERE. Think realistically in terms of how your AllMate is going to get around if it's large.
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET AROUND THE SIZE LIMIT. This includes making miniatures or baby versions of large, over-the-limit animals (e.g.: no miniature elephants, miniature horses, lion cubs, etc.)
the Size Limit Guidelines
The smallest AllMate we will accept MUST still be visible to the naked eye and no smaller than 2 inches (5 cm) in at least one side (width, length or height).
The guidelines only apply to the MAIN BODY of the animal. Horns and such won't count towards the height limit.
The size limit has been shrunk from the first openingAllMates of members that got in during the first opening that may be over the current size limits do not have to be changed (because of ex post facto). Please do not point out examples of AllMates from the first opening to try and argue for a bigger AllMate. If your AllMate was approved during an app check from the first opening, that approval may no longer apply; all applicants' AllMates must follow the current standards, not past ones. (4 ft to 3 ft).
Height: no more than 3 ft (~ 91 cm)
Length: can be more than 3 ft ONLY IF height and width are both below 3 ft but can NEVER EXCEED 10 ft (~3 m)
Width: can be more than 3 ft ONLY IF height and length are both below 3 ft but can NEVER EXCEED 10 ft (~3 m)
Research Recommendation!
Before you ask "Is (the species you want) allowed?", we would recommend that you use Google or Wikipedia to find the measurements of the species and make sure it follows the size limit guidelines! Otherwise, you may be marked down for neglecting to follow instructions. If you find conflicting resources about size, however, or are worried about a certain species for other reasons, feel free to ask!
★ AllMates that do not follow these guidelines may be offered as event prizes (so if you really want that dragon or dinosaur or whatever, work hard and keep an eye out!)
Misconceptions of Obtaining AllMates
AllMates are calibrated for a certain owner, so if an AllMate was disowned or tossed out, it would have to be recalibrated which is a complex and expensive process and it's more likely that the AllMate would just get used for parts. This means your OCs MUST get an AllMate new from the shop.
Examples of what is NOT ALLOWED:
- You may NOT find an abandonedThis implies that your character knows how to calibrate Allmates on their own, which also implies that he/she is able to mess with Allmate's programming. This is strictly forbidden for any members. AllMate and then take it home to make it your own.
- Because each AllMate is unique to each character, they CANNOT be "passed onto" another owner. This means neither the AllMate's memory chip nor it's physical animal model can be inherited from another person.
- Your character may NOT hack/alter an AllMate's programming in any way beyond what is standardly allowed.
If you aren't sure regarding your AllMate's situation, please check with us.
Additional Info
Can I ever change my AllMate?
Yes, but it won't be easy. In addition, you can only change the AllMate's body; you must stick with the same chip which contains the AllMate's memories, personality, etc. Be warned that the operation will cost a lot and will rarely be offered. A 'free' way to change your AllMate could be as an event prize, but those will be pretty rare.
So what's this other form AllMates have?
Each AllMate also has an online form, which we will normally refer to as a Rhyme form; it is the virtual avatar the AllMate appears as anywhere in cyberspace, including the game of Rhyme. Your AllMate does not physically transform in real life. Like with the AllMate's physical form, the Rhyme form can be humanoid, animalistic, etc; however, your OC's AllMate must have a humanoid animal form. (Any other kind of Rhyme form is rare and will be, again, mostly limited to mod characters and/or NPCs.) The Rhyme form should resemble the normal form (e.g.: same general color scheme) and be at least 90% human-looking.

that is why debian.org was 'closed' for what seemed like a long time a
year or two ago. The updated deb was in their repository, they just
didnt apply it because they wanted those uptime numbers :/
Then they had to close everything down until they could verify EVERY
package to see if any were tampered with (none alledgly were) and
stuff.. It took a lot of man hours on that one, for a corporate

most of that is a bad application developer, or using an older install

well a lot of that is driver problems, why xp started down the road of a
better HAL (hardware abstraction layer) although its not perfect, vista
is supposed to have an even better one so fewer things can actually take
the system down, even hardware drivers.

Comic-Con attendees who visit the Gentle Giant booth can get add a Vintage 12" Stormtrooper t-shirt to their bag of cool swag for practically free. All you need to do is purchase a $20 Gentle Giant gift card and the t-shirt is yours!
Going on sale basically right now is this Comic-Con exclusive Visionaries Darth Maul! It's super-articulated, has a crown of horns, a lightsaber with removable blades, and incredible hip articulation. It also has particularly lavish packaging, particularly when you compare it against similarly priced comic packs. Should you snag it when it goes on sale? Read on!
An unusually overcast and drizzly morning in America's Finest City for the warm up to the big event. A brave and dedicated few have been sitting in their lawn chairs since the wee hours of the morning as exhibitors set up inside the cavernous convention center floor. We took a few random shots of some marketing marquees and banners draped across the buildings, hotels, and lamp posts as the run up to Comic-Con begins!
Justin Hauner and his friend, Ben Fucik, were in a hurry. Their flight home from San Diego, California, to Appleton, Wisconsin, was taking off soon, and they had to get to the airport in time.
However, Hauner had a change in plans that had them in a race against the clock: He had to ship the collectibles he had purchased on his trip back to Wisconsin.
"I had so much stuff that I bought that I didn't have enough room to get into my luggage," he said.
If you haven't heard, there's this little shindig in a lush seaside town featuring a mass convergence of fans of the pop culture over the next 5 days. Galactic Hunter will be there with new armor, new paint, and we hope a better engine beginning this evening for Preview Night.
Gentle Giant has a lot planned for Comic-Con featuring plenty of the expected activity in their booth and a couple of nostalgic/vintage awesome Star Wars exclusives!
Star Wars Brickheads unite! LEGO is offering Star Wars Cube Dudes for SDCC and will be selling 450 a day, with purchase decided by raffle. If you are attending Comic-Con, make sure to stop by the booth and pick yours up!

Hotel Owner Says He Gets Stolen Money Back as Payment
A La Crosse woman faces charges after taking some money from a hotel. Police say the 22 year-old is staying at the Affordable Inn on the northside. They say the owner of the Affordable got video of the woman taking the money out of his cash register last week. Apparently the woman used the same wad of cash to pay some of what she owed on her hotel bill there. Police say she admitted the crime and called the theft a "lapse in judgement."

Your treatment will depend on the type of pelvic organ prolapse you have. Your doctor may recommend first treating your prolapse without surgery. In some people, if symptoms significantly affect quality of life, surgery is eventually necessary.
Menopause results in lower estrogen levels, which weakens the muscles of the vagina. Estrogen therapy may strengthen these muscles. However, some people shouldn't use estrogen, so discuss risks and benefits with your doctor. If you develop symptoms of one type of prolapse, you're more likely to develop other types. Mayo Clinic doctors try to correct all prolapse-related problems at one time.
Physical therapy may include pelvic floor exercises using biofeedback to strengthen specific muscles of the pelvic floor. Biofeedback involves the use of monitoring devices with sensors that are placed in your vagina, rectum or on your skin. As you perform an exercise, a computer screen shows whether you're using the right muscles and the strength of each squeeze (contraction) so you learn how to do the exercises properly.
Mayo Clinic doctors may use minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery, including robot-assisted surgery, to treat some types of pelvic organ prolapse. Minimally invasive surgery allows your surgeon to make smaller incisions and can shorten your hospital stay. Talk to your surgeon about why one procedure may be better for you than another, what the surgical approach will be, and what materials will be used. Also ask your surgeon about the long-term success for your planned procedure.
There are different surgical strategies for various types of prolapse:
Small bowel prolapse and vaginal vault prolapse. Small bowel prolapse is also sometimes called enterocele. In women who have had a hysterectomy, this type of prolapse is also called vaginal vault prolapse and may involve the bladder, rectum or small bowel. Your surgeon may perform corrective surgery through the vagina or abdomen.
In a vaginal approach, your surgeon will use the ligaments that support the uterus to correct the problem. In an abdominal approach — which may be performed laparoscopically, robotically or as an open procedure — your surgeon attaches the vagina to the tailbone at the base of the spine, and small portions of synthetic mesh may be used to help support vaginal tissues. This type of surgery is called vaginal vault suspension.
Prolapse surgery repairs the tissue bulge. If the bulge doesn't bother you, surgery isn't needed.
Read more about treatment for anterior prolapse (cystocele), posterior prolapse (rectocele), uterine prolapse, and small bowel prolapse (enterocele).

This review is aimed at Mac users who have the latest version of Adobe Premiere Elements 9 formulated especially for the Mac platform. Connecting the camera to a Mac is simple: 1. Turn on your Mac. 2. Switch on the camcorder. 3. Connect to computer USB port -camera screen will read: USB CONNECT 4. IPhoto (if installed) will display the Photos from the camera. (Close or ignore).5. Open Premiere Elements 9 - New Project (name it) - Get Media (FlipVideo/AVCHD) - Select SOURCE (Name)- Add to Timeline, and begin editing! IMOVIE also works well but I prefer PREMIERE ELEMENTS 9, that is faster than its PC version.
I wanted a camcorder with a dual purpose: personal documentation and video taping mini documentaries. While the quality of this camcorder is good, I may have to upgrade to a more all around camcorder. For one, I need a remote control. And, a super sensitive sound pick up. Otherwise, the camera is very well constructed.
I have read mixed reviews about users having issues with MAC OS, but I haven't had any of those issues. I had NO problem getting it to work with Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, and iMovie. In Final Cut I just chose capture and poof there it was. I also see some complaining about the MPEG-2 Plugin for Quicktime needed for SD footage, but why would you shoot any SD footage with this HD camcorder when Memory is so cheap these days? If you want to shoot SD buy a SD camcorder!

In addition, their study showed a number of associations, the relevance of which to diagnosis was unclear: clubbing, weight loss, thrombocytosis, polycythemia and hyperhidrosis. Possible associations included pulmonary hypertension, restrictive lung disease, a thrombotic diathesis, arthralgia, cardiomyopathy (systolic dysfunction), fever, low vitamin B12 levels and diarrhea.
Given that VEGF plays a central role in the symptoms of POEMS syndrome, some have tried bevacizumab (Avastin), a monoclonal antibody directed against VEGF. While some reports were positive, others have reported capillary leak syndrome suspected to be the result of overly rapid lowering of VEGF levels. It therefore remains doubtful as to whether this will become part of standard treatment for POEMS syndrome.

I love both but there's just one annoying thing I'm not sure if its possible to change. When you put it in the dock it only wants to launch HTC Locations and doesn't give you the option for any other car dock which is annoying because I would like to use Ultra Dock off the market. I've disabled HTC Locations which has stopped it popping up but I'm guessing the HTC Locations Launcher is still denying access to the dock mode for other apps. (I'm hopin (General)

CASTEL GANDOLFO, ITALY — Getting off the grid and leaving behind the city is a great way to bring some much-needed silence to one's life, Pope Benedict said.
"Silence is the condition of one's surroundings that best fosters contemplation, listening to God and meditation," he said Aug. 10 at his weekly general audience.
CASTEL GANDOLFO, ITALY — Most people don't leave any time in their day to stop, listen and reflect on what God is doing and saying in their lives, Pope Benedict said.
"Our time is taken up by so many activities, commitments, worries and problems that often one tends to fill up one's whole day without having a second left for stopping to reflect and nourish one's spiritual life" by having contact with God, he said Aug. 17.
CASTEL GANDOLFO, ITALY - When Jesus fed the multitudes by miraculously multiplying loaves and fishes, he gave his disciples an example to follow, Pope Benedict said.
Commenting on the Sunday Gospel passage July 31, the pope said it was natural to read the story of Jesus' miracle and think of "our many brothers and sisters who, in these days, in the Horn of Africa, suffer from famine aggravated by war and the lack of solid institutions."
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy — While there's nothing wrong with a bit of light reading in the summer, reading a book or two of the Bible also can be a relaxing - as well as enlightening — vacation activity, Pope Benedict said.
"Naturally, many of the books of literature we pick up during vacation are for a diversion, and this is normal," he said Aug. 3 at his weekly general audience.
NEW ORLEANS - Just as Moses descended from Mount Sinai with Ten Commandments chiselled on two stone tablets, the rules laid out for potent peaching while not etched in permanent marker, are boundaries worthy of respect: six to eight minutes for a Sunday homily, three to five minutes for a weekday sermon.
"The idea is not so much 'brevity' as it is not taking longer than you need," said Deborah Wilhelm, a doctoral student with a focus on preaching at the Aquinas Institute of Theology, who led a recent eight-day workshop on preaching here.
VANCOUVER — You don't have to be a Broadway actor to be a good priest, says Father Edward Danylo Evanko, pastor of the Dormition of Our Mother of God Church in Richmond. "But," he adds, lapsing into a Manhattan Yiddish accent, "it wouldn't hoit."
Evanko was an actor on Broadway, as well as in Hollywood, in television and film, for over 30 years before a seemingly chance conversation at Vancouver's Holy Rosary Cathedral pointed him to the priesthood. Once a priest, he thought he had put acting behind him, but he was wrong.
EDMONTON — About 500 youth from across Western Canada assembled at the University of Alberta July 29-31 for the second installment of the national conference of Couples for Christ.
The first installment, held in Ottawa July 15 to 17, was attended by more than 250 youth.
VATICAN CITY — While priestly celibacy is increasingly misunderstood and even under attack, the discipline continues to be a call to a whole-hearted response to God's love, said Cardinal Marc Ouellet.
"The celibacy of priests, as well as of bishops, has been put into question today with growing virulence because of sexual abuse, including of minors, committed by clerics," Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, cardinal told the bishops of Brazil.
NELSON, B.C. — When Bishop John Corriveau first took his post in the Diocese of Nelson he faced the challenge of ministering to a widely dispersed flock.
The diocese — which runs from Princeton, up to Golden, over to the Alberta border and down along the 49th parallel — stretches over highly mountainous terrain.

Improve your Sleeping Patterns: Weekly Fitness & Wellness tip
Posted on Aug 20, 2012 Event Date: Dec 31, 1969
There are many factors that can cause sleep problems, and even more potential solutions. The steps you take to improve your sleeping patterns will be individual, based on the cause of your insomnia and the treatment plan laid out by your health care provider. In addition to the many lifestyle changes that can help you sleep better, the following tips may also help improve the quality and quantity of your shut-eye:
- Stop eating at least 2 hours before your regular bedtime. If your body is trying to digest food, you won't be able to fully relax, fall asleep or stay asleep.
- Avoid alcohol before bedtime. Alcohol may help you fall asleep quickly, but it can disrupt your normal sleep patterns and leave you feeling un-rested the next morning.
- Avoid caffeinated drinks and foods during the afternoon and evening. Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate that can delay your sleep or cause you to wake up during the night. You may want to eliminate caffeine entirely and see if your sleep improves.
- Limit your intake of fried and fatty foods, refined carbohydrates ( such as white rice, breads, pasta, and sugars) and spicy foods which can cause heartburn especially before bedtime. These foods can interfere with your ability to get a good night's sleep.
- Enjoy a light snack approximately 2 hours before your bedtime. A healthy snack can help take the edge off of your hunger and help you sleep through the night. Your snack should contain mostly carbohydrates and a small amount of protein. This combination may help increase the availability of tryptophan (an amino acid that helps induce sleep) to your brain. A few nighttime snack ideas include: a small bowl of oatmeal, cereal with low-fat milk, half a bagel with peanut butter, and a sliced apple with an ounce of cheese.

Iranian President Condemns US for Its Hegemonic Moves
|Tehran, June 10 (KCNA) -- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a press conference on June 7 vehemently condemned the U.S. for its hegemonic moves.
The U.S. is scheming to put Pakistan under its control and using the UNSC and international bodies as tools to put pressure on this country, he noted.
It is also accused the U.S. of committing without hesitation even armed invasion of countries in the region under the pretext of "anti-terror war" in a bid to shore up its vulnerable economy and patronize the Zionist regime.

When Lydia celebrated her coming of age, the whole of her Exmoor village celebrated with her. Two men attracted her interest that night: handsome, ambitious Gus Pascoe, who coveted the land her father farmed; and Wesley Peters, brought up as a strict Methodist, whose seemingly upright religious family hid a terrible secret.
Wesley wanted only to protect and cherish Lydia, but when his sister became the scandal of the neighbourhood and was forced to marry Lydia's brother, Alan, a bitterness grew up between the two families which threatened to keep Lydia and Wesley apart forever. In despair Lydia fled to Bristol, where at last she could free herself from the tragedy and heartbreak of her past life.

Current Research
The Center for Southeast Asia Studies is an Organized Research Unit (ORU) in the University of California system, under the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research at Berkeley. An advisory committee of UC Berkeley faculty members with research interests in Southeast Asia, led by a faculty Chair, supervises CSEAS, directing its outreach and research programs and strategic direction.
The CSEAS research platform highlights both individual faculty member projects as well as interdisciplinary approaches involving faculty members working in different departments. A new rubric, Southeast Asia in the World, is currently being finalized with the intent to focus on specific projects over a longer term that would bring together a range of disciplinary approaches and interests.
