AVM studios
The AVM Studios in Chennai (formerly Madras) are the oldest film studios in India and were founded in 1946, just one year before Independence. It is part of the South Indian film industry known somewhat jokingly as 'Chollywood' or 'Kollywood' and is home to the Tamil film industry. In 1948 the studios moved to Vadapalani in Chennai where they have remained and grown ever since. The studios produce films and TV serials, have indoor and outdoor sets and street scenes as well as all the supporting infrastructure of recording, dubbing and editing suites as well as preview cinemas. The studios are open to the public and entry is free. Opening hours are from 9.00 to 18.00 daily.
Arjuna's Penance
Arjuna's Penance is a carved rock relief, which dates to the 7th century and is one of the largest reliefs in the world. It stands 29 meters long and seven meters high and represents scenes from the Hindu epic story of the Mahabharata. The rock surface is covered in carved animals, people and gods and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Monuments of Mahabalipuram.
Shore Temple
The Shore Temple is believed to be the sole remaining temple from an ancient complex of seven temples which were known as the Seven Pagodas. The Shore Temple was built in the 7th century and is one of the oldest south Indian temples of Dravidian architectural style and is covered in intricate carvings. Because the temple stands so close to the sea, it has suffered centuries of corrosion from the sea-spray. Attempts to preserve it for the future led to the building of breakwaters and barriers. The Short Temple is included in the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the monuments of Mahabalipuram.
The Promenade
The Pondicherry Promenade runs for 1.5 km alongside the main beach and has several landmarks along the way including the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, the War Memorial, the Town Hall and a statue of Joan of Arc (the city was a French zone pre-Independence). Other attractions include an old lighthouse and art-deco era buildings that face the sea. In this hot and humid southern city, the sea breezes attract large crowds of locals and tourists to stroll along the Promenade and visit the beach. The Promenade is open at all hours and all times and carries no entrance fees.
Marina Beach
Marina Beach in Chennai is the world's second longest urban beach with only Copacabana in Brasil beating it for length. This 12 km stretch of broad sandy beach is a magnet to tourists and local people alike, as well as supporting a local fishing trade. The beach is up to 437 m wide at its widest point. The northernmost tip of the beach is near Fort St George and the southern point is Besant Negar. Bathing is illegal on the beach due to strong currents and in 2007 an average of 4 people per day died in the waters which are not patrolled by lifeguards. Many statues decorate the beach including Mahatma Gandhi and Annie Besant. 206 people died on Marina Beach during the tsunami of 2004.

So, I started watching the new "Beauty and the Beast" through shomi. At the time I write this, I've seen two episodes. And it got me thinking of what seems to be the tendency in modern American television, at least, towards what I'll call a "Nale" plot, plots that are needlessly complicated.
Let's compare the new Beauty and the Beast to the original to see what I mean (spoilers ahead):

A kind of restrained rambunctious enthusiasm rippled through the 1,000 or so federal contractors gathered the night of Nov. 7 at the annual GovCon contracting industry awards in Tyson's Corner, Va. The enthusiasm, however, was tempered by the memory of recent government cutbacks and shutdowns and foreboding for those that may be still to come.
As the 11th Annual Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards were handed out, presenters had to repeatedly shush the crowd to be heard above the laughter and loud conversations. The din came from contractors who have been working amid one of the toughest federal acquisition environments in years and the relief/trepidation in the throng was hard to hide -- relief from having made it through so far, but unease about another shutdown and continuing tight budgets.
The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Services Council sponsored the awards.
The evening's final winner -- Kymm McCabe, CEO at ASI Government, who accepted the Executive of the Year award companies with less than $75 million in sales — asked the crowd to stand, turn to the person on their right, and pat them on the back in congratulations for making it through a very tough year.

BetterDigestion.org Tells How Hormones Can Help Us Lose Weight
A new video review and informative article from BetterDigestion.org describes how hormones help lose weight. The author discusses how recent research demonstrates that leptin, a powerful hormone for weight loss, stops the brain's signals to overeat.
In the article, it is mentioned that as people diet, and reduce their amount of body fat, the body slows the amount of leptin produced. This decrease in leptin production sends the brain into "starvation" mode. As a result, the body attempts to restore leptin hormone levels to normal, healthy levels; most often, the brain sends signals to the body resulting in significant hunger and the continuous urge to eat more food.
The article and video detail how supplementing with a high-quality leptin supplement bypasses the communication between the fat cells and the brain, sending a fresh, consistent supply of leptin to the brain. When supplementing with leptin, the brain is convinced that leptin levels are appropriate, taking the body out of starvation mode, opening the door to dramatic weight loss opportunities
The article and video also introduce a free eBook, The 30 Second Hormone Fix, which provides foods and techniques for controlling leptin production in the body. This advice includes how to increase leptin levels through periodic overfeeding; consumption of additional carbohydrates following scheduled "cheat" days; and several one-ingredient natural foods proven to enhance the body's reaction to leptin.
The full article on how hormones help lose weight is available at http://betterdigestion.org/how-hormones-help-lose-weight/
About: BetterDigestion.com is a new website that was launched in March of 2013 in order to provide premier content for healthy digestion and overall health, specifically by controlling hormone and bacteria found naturally in the body. Recent topics have included Hormones for Weight Control, Fat Blasting Foods, Digestive Disorders: Probiotics for Gut Healthy, as well as several other highly informative articles to help people understand the connection between digestion and overall health.
A free eBook on hormones and weight control is available at http://betterdigestion.org/hormones-lose-weight . The free eBook has been made available to show people which natural foods they can begin to eat to increase leptin production and improve overall digestion and weight control.

1. West Virginia has been giving away their season, one turnover at a time - Just three weeks ago, West Virginia was "leading" the Big East. They toted a 5-1 record and a national ranking, as well as a top ranked defensive unit that was holding opponents to less than two touchdowns per game. But while the season was at a midpoint, the conference schedule was just getting started. But in the last two games, turnovers have almost cost the Mountaineers their shot at a BCS bowl berth. The eye test said that the Mountaineers were cruising on easy street down to Miami, until they decided they were tired of taking care of the ball. Against Syracuse West Virginia turned the ball over three times, all of which were turned into points for the Orange. Saturday's matchup with Connecticut was more of the same from the Mountaineer offense. West Virginia racked up 414 yards of total offense, but four lost fumbles prevented them from scoring more than 13 points on the Huskies defense. If the Mountaineers avoid coughing the ball up, they could be 3-0 in conference play and looking down the road to a potential BCS bowl game. But instead of the Mountaineers, it is the Pittsburgh Panthers. Speaking of...
2. Lewis has reclaimed the favor of the Pittsburgh coaching staff - Earlier in the season, Pittsburgh running back Dion Lewis was struggling to get his season going. His yards per carry were down from his 2009 Rookie of the Year campaign, and he was sharing many of his carries with backup Ray Graham. Now that conference play has begun, Lewis has emerged as the clear-cut but first stringer in the Panther backfield. After a phenomenal performance last week against Rutgers that included 17 rushes for 130 yards and a touchdown, Lewis appeared to have regained the starting job despite Graham continuing to lead the team in rushing by a convincing margin. In the win over Louisville, Lewis carried the ball 18 times compared to Graham's nine attempts. Earlier in the season, that was much more of a 50-50 divide between the two backs. Now Lewis must make the most of his increased opportunities in order to hold that spot.
3. Syracuse's tenacious second half defense is a key to their success - In five of the Orange's six victories, the defense has shut out the opponent in the second half. Syracuse's offense has relied on a dominant running game led by Delone Carter and Antwon Bailey. The smash mouth brand of football under second year head coach Doug Marrone has turned last season's 1-6 conference record around to 3-1 at the midpoint of the conference schedule. Syracuse has only been to a bowl game twice since since 2000 and not at all since 2004, but the 2010 Orange are already bowl eligible at 6-2. A conference championship may be out of reach after the loss to Pittsburgh, but anything is an upgrade from the way things have been at Syracuse.

What I learned from the Big East (Oct. 30)
That's exactly why a non-conference game should be scheduled at the end of a season. Both Syracuse and Washington are not the same teams they were a month ago.

What I learned from the Big East (Oct. 30)
If the football schools really want to make a bold move, they could leave the Big East, bring in East Carolina, Central Florida and Memphis, and form a new 11 school all-sports conference. That way, the Big East could go back to being a basketball conference which was its original intent.

What I learned from the Big East (Oct. 30)
The big east needs two more teams and my picks are Central Florida and Villanova
Villanova is dominate in what used to be D1AA and plays in the big east in just about every other sport
and Central Florida is on the rise. Top 25 team right now. And it works geographically for me.
Go right ahead take away the BCS bid. ... THE BCS SUCKS and i hate it

What I learned from the Big East (Oct. 30)
Big East has a BCS bid. Deal with it.
Also... this year's schedule was a bit of an anomaly as almost all of the Big East OOC games against BCS teams were on the road. WVU lost at LSU, not exactly a shocker there. USF lost at Florida. What Big 12 or Big 10 teams go to LSU and Florida for road games? Cincy, Lville, Pitt, and Syracuse traveled 2,500+ miles for their games. How many ACC teams travel across the country and win in tough venues?
Pitt losing to Notre Dame was on the road and when ND was healthy. Not a good loss, but not awful. ND was a whisker away from beating MSU on the road. Pitt laid an egg against Miami at home and deserves criticism for same. Same with UConn losing to Temple (anywhere) and Rutgers losing to UNC at home and Tulane at home. Cincy, last place in the BE, held theri own against Oklahoma. What does that tell you?
With the Big East having no weak teams, they need to start scheduling like the other BCS conferences. That way, they can all be 4-1 and 5-0 going into conference play like the fraudulent bottom feeders of the BCS conferences that provide "good wins" for the upper echelon.
No objection to the MWC gettign an auto bid either. But let's not get carried away with taking the Big East's away based on one season.

What I learned from the Big East (Oct. 30)
Fine, take away their auto-bid....you can do it as soon as they take the ACC's bid too.
Last I checked the BE was 3-1 in their last 4 BCS games. So everyone has a down year at the
same time.
The BE criticizm is nothing new. They were still called the "Big Least" when Miami, V-Tech, Syracuse & WVU
were perennial top 15 teams. It's more about the league being formed in 1990 that roiled the old guard.
and, yeah I know we've played virtually no one, but it's about time we had a winable schedule. Re-building is
harder when you've got a stacked schedule like we have the last few years.

Syracuse is not bowl eligible, someone forgot to check their facts it seems, wins over 2 FCS schools in Colgate and Maine ='s a little more work to do for Syracuse so apparently you didn't actually watch any of the games or else you would have known this, I wish I could get paid by this site but I actually would check my facts and I actually watch games so I couldn't get hired it seems.

Thanks for writing. There are several reasons why your hydrangeas may droop. Some varieties with very large flowers tend to be floppy because the stems have supporting those big blooms. Other times plants can get droppy if they're in too much shade --- the stems stretch, looking for more light, and become weaker. They could also develop strong stems if they're fertilized too much; fertilizer can encourage lots of fast growth which isn't as strong.

Don't forget the Phantom Boats , the viewliner,
And the midget a autopia and the flying saucers.
Don't forget the Phantom Boats , the viewliner,
And the midget a autopia and the flying saucers.
Very good graduate student research thesis. My hypothesis would be that the economics of riding attractions at park opening would prevent the task. The rider would need to have parents intrigued with the park, the rider would have no fear, and the rider would have to be mesmerized by the park
Research indicates That Grandma's baby shop closes two months later, (lack of babies in the park????) baby could ride phantom boat but not the pack mules. Circus is also gone, anything causing a stink in front of the public was removed from the park. Wonder how street cars over rode that policy???
No, I doubt there would be. That person would have to be 70 years old today (guessing their first trip to Disney is at 10). Or if they were a baby, around 60. You'd have to go on all the new rides. So I doubt it.
I am probably as close to riding every ride as anyone. The Disneyland property was my playground before Walt Disney bought the property. On Saturdays I used the back entrance between the Stable and Frontierland to sneak in for free.
I was one of the few who rode the 1955 "Tomorrowland Boats" and redesigned summer of 1956 Phantom Boats, with the large fins several times. Each time I was disappointed that that I could not drive them, and that they never went very fast despite looking fast with their large fins.
I remember riding the Viewliner, but there was nothing to see, mostly just dirt.
I often tried the Flying Saucers, but was never very successful to even get them to move as I was small and lightweight.
Below is a photo of me driving my sister on the Junior Autopia. But, I only remember seeing the Midget Autopia ride, thinking it was a very slow ride for "Little Kids" (I was 9 years old), It is possible that I rode it, but I have no memory of riding it.
A kid small enough to want to ride the Midget Autopia probably would have been too small to ride the Tomorrowland/Phantom boats. It is very unlikely to find someone alive that has ridden every ride.
I caught fish on TS island, rode the Stagecoach, Buckboards, & Conestoga Wagons, Mike Fink Keel Boats, and the rode the mules. And loved the Flight Circle in the middle of Tomorrowland.
The economics at the time were not that bad, even with inflation. It cost $1 to get in. But I knew how to use the Stable entrance and not pay. (And , Knotts was FREE). We lived on Harbor (Palm) a 10 min. walk just down the street, then moved to east Anaheim in 1957. The rides were not that expensive, and when ticket books came out I would go the exit and ask for and get many unused tickets for free.
"No, I doubt there would be. That person would have to be 70 years old today (guessing their first trip to Disney is at 10). Or if they were a baby, around 60. You'd have to go on all the new rides. So I doubt it."
Very close, I am 68-1/2.
hey 1951, thanks for sharing . some questions
What is your association with the orange groves?
Why are the palm trees in the orange grove so important?
How did you earn money to purchase the individual tickets after you sneaked in the park?
I believe you about sneaking in thru the stables. Our state fair has a very lax stable area that abuts residential area. Many ranch/farm hands in the fair area and there is no security, so easy to blend in with the help.
what are your memories of the stable area? And do you , today, find the smell of stables memorable? Our family passed thru the Ontario stock yards in the darkness of early morning on the way to Disneyland and to this day, a package of steer manure sitting on the store sidewalk triggers my brain into a joyful state
You posted right before my post.
In my lifetime I believe I've done everything except for the Rocket Rods. I had many chances to ride them and failed to do so. I deeply regret it now.
hey, 1951, this would make for a great movie, though I can't decide on the opening scene:
*to have you on your bike watching the orange groves bulldozed
* have you sneaking into the park thru the stables, the movie viewer unaware who owns the stables then fading to you sitting on a bench on Main street 2014. Then as you aged as a child, California and the nation aging with you, (Dodger Stadium, Smokey the bear, Smothers Brothers, etc, Johnny Carson, roller blades on Venice Beach, etc)
* your parents buying jam at the Knott's and an employee saying " I see their building some kinda of Mickey Mouse operation down the road. Well I can tell you, we will still have the best berry jam and pies in Orange county.
(1936 is the first date of research for the idiom "Mickey Mouse")
Palm Trees were on the Dominguez family property (near Indian Jones), and I believe that the Peltzers (near the old entrance) had some, were decorative. There were many more Eucalyptus trees to block the Orange trees from wind. You can still see them behind City hall.
We were pretty well off for the time and I did chores (clean the pool, trash, etc.) for a good allowance ($5/week).
Laferney... that's an AWESOME idea for a movie.... Somebody spend some time with Disneyland 1951 and get some oral histories down and a screenplay started.

I wish 1951 would post more often. The stories of early Disneyland are awesome.
Yes, Disneyland 1951 always tells it as it was and has a great memory. I too would welcome more posts or threads form this person. Disneyland and other parks are not the only treasures, but the people that have a history are also.

I have many Disneyland property adventures from before DL was built, and current fun I still have there:
* I was told about how Abbot & Costello filmed parts of the movie "Buck Privates come Home" there in 1947.
* We had our own private race track. Coached by Indy 500 Winners like Rodger Ward and Jimmy Bryant.
* The first Sports Illustrated issue featuring Swimsuits, had a 6 page color article of our race track.
" The ABC program "You Asked for It" filmed us racing in 1954, near what is currently Small World.
* I remember following huge Long Horn Oxen into the park back gate in the morning.
.............. I have been unable to find a photo or anyone that remembers them!
* I saw Walt Disney several times, but would run away because I was sure he knew I did not pay to get in???
* A favorite game was for my friends was to see who could tell the tourist the biggest lie.
* I won when I told a kid that there were no bathrooms in Disneyland and got him to pee in the Castle moat.
* My Uncle programmed the first Mr. Lincoln animatronic. And, was in the Circlevision movie.
* You could watch Nature films and cartoons in the Fantasyland Theater.
* Before Dole Whips, I had to have a Welches grape juice frozen bar.
* They sold original movie cells at Disneyland for a just few dollars.
* My parents were friends with some Hollywood people, and I was stuck spending the day showing teenage Debrah Wally around Disneyland while our parents had drinks. (She later starred as Gidget, was in Disney Summer Magic, and Beach Blanket Bingo with Annette.) She was 3 years older and we were bored with being stuck with each other several times. Later my sister made me have Debbie introduce her to Annette.
*Today, I enjoyed talking with the Snow White Queen about how we are both misunderstood in books whose plot revolves around a apple. My ancestor is also portrayed as the Evil one in books, operas, plays, movies, etc. I had her sign an 1832 printed book of the Story and a print showing my ancestor and the drama with the apple.

First this campground is very difficult to get in and out of with a large travel trailer. The owner is nice but needs to eliminate some campsites and work on the roads. There are also many permanent campers that have not been moved in years. There is only one road filled with holes and gravel in or out and if you meet someone one will have to back up. Campsites need some leveling and our electrical panel was in very bad shape. Electrical wires and breakers are exposed. Campsites are too small for what you pay for. People will park right at your front door on site 63. Avoid that site at all cost. We put out our carpet out only to find cars parked all over it. The sites are just too small and there are too many options in camping in the Smokies to deal with that. We had tent campers walking all through our campsite and they didn't like it either. The sites were just too small. They have placed two tent sites in about 50ft circle and did not account for cars/parking. This has everyone on top of each other. Most of the other sites are not as cramped but very close. We will not camp here again until the owner eliminates some campsites. It's sad because this campground has potential. The lakes are nice and with only some small changes this could be my favorite campground. - 30-30man

This campground offer 1/2 off one night for Passport. Space was ok. Grassy, & fairly level. Our space was narrow for our slides. Nice park with much to do in season. Quiet after Labor Day. Must drive all the way through the park on a winding clay road to the transient sites. There was a short cut for the exit. If visiting in this area, we would return to this park. - Proud Mary

The duo keeps crowds guessing with an interactive variety show that blends old-school show tunes, vaudeville theatricality and slapstick comedy.
"It's a metropolitan type of show, yet the intimacy of the performance will make you forget where you are entirely," said Price, a lauded local producer and longtime fixture on the Asheville music scene, who runs his own recording studio, Collapsible Studios. ...

Data Breach Battle Plans for Financial Services
See Also: OPM Breach Aftermath: How Your Agency Can Improve on Breach Prevention Programshite House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt isn't buying into the grim forecasts that the United States is ill prepared to defend the government's and nation's critical information assets from an immense virtual attack by political adversaries or cyber criminals.
Schmidt, in a face-to-face interview with GovInfoSecurity.com, said the federal government and the private businesses that control 85 percent of the nation's critical IT infrastructure are better positioned than ever to fend off massive digital assaults.
The Obama administration's top cybersecurity official was responding to questions about recent comments made by former National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell that the United States would lose a cyberwar and a simulated cyber attack known as Cyber ShockWave, aired last month on CNN, that disrupts smart phone service to 20 million customers, shutters an electronic energy trading platform and cripples the power grid along the Eastern seaboard.
"How would we fare in some sort of a massive cyber intrusion and attack like that? I think we're much better prepared now than we were in the past," Schmidt said in the interview held during the RSA 2010 IT security conference in San Francisco.
IT security professionals protecting key systems know of the existence of the vulnerabilities and are taking steps to mitigate them to lessen their impact, he said.
Schmidt questioned whether such an event as a cyberwar can exist. "A cyberwar is just something that we can't define," he said. "I don't even know (how a) cyberwar would benefit anybody. Everybody would lose. There's no win-lose in the cyber realm today. It affects everybody; it affects businesses, it affects government, so number one, there's no value in having one.
"When you start looking at the actors involved, it's even more difficult to determine, because often times, we see things that take place that one person may say, 'Well, this is attributed to a particular government or an agent state,' and in reality could be a group of hackers somewhere. We've seen reports in the past, where people talk about the most sophisticated attack they've ever seen, and reality, when you talk to the experts, it's basically exploiting an unknown vulnerability that just hasn't been fixed. So, there's a lot of dynamics there that are totally different than the kinetic world."
Programs such as Cyber ShockWave, sponsored by the Bipartisan Policy Center, have raised the alarm about the damage a major cyber attack could cause. Schmidt was specific in saying he wasn't addressing Cyber ShockWave, but characterized similar programming as entertainment that may not be based in reality. "There's a lot of hype out there that's created all kinds of environments that are just inaccurate," Schmidt said. "People do TV shows that act like doom and gloom and things are going to fall apart, but that's not true. That's just flat not true."
Schmidt said he enjoys such entertainment. "I appreciate good entertainment, but after some news story breaks that's got tremendous coverage, I get 50 e-mails from real experts in the industry - Bruce Schneier, Vint Cerf, Whit Diffie and these guys - who ask, 'What is it with these people? Don't they understand that this is not the way things really work?' So, as a consequence, we have to really balance that and say, 'Here's what the real world looks like, and entertainment is entertainment.' ... It's got to be accurate, which is why in the things we're doing it is very important to make sure that we're speaking as accurately and frankly as possible."
Schmidt's optimism about defending cyber assets raised the question whether his remarks are aimed at not scaring the public about the threats facing the nation's IT. He's said he's sincere in his observations. "I don't view the world with rose-colored glasses; that's for sure," he said.
"I've been in this business long enough, that I've gone from being the doom-and-gloom to understanding we've come a long way," Schmidt said. "I am tremendously optimistic about the talent we have, the leadership we have in this area now across the board, both in government and private sector, the international attention being paid to this. I can't help but be optimistic, because we've come a long way."

Stars in the Sky: A Sci-Fi RPG
Space, the final frontier, a collection of stars, planets and nebula that is said to extend in all directions unceasingly, infinitely. Within this infinite void, it is inevitable that a select few planets would become bearers of one of the most precious gifts that can be offered; life. Life can come in many forms and at many levels of intellect, sentient, non-sentient or even the grey area inbetween-semi-sentient. It can be avian, insectoid, bipedal or even a mass of ooze. Life is, in it's own way, as infinite as the universe. For, if the universe is infinite, then so is life. It may be scattered, lost and alone, but as long as there is a universe, and it is indeed, infinite, life will always exist. However scattered. However alone.
But, life's gift is a curse as well. Most life never ascends to the next level. Sentient life, awareness of one's own being. The ability to progress technologically, to build. To forge weapons and cities. To care about something other then one's next meal. If life is a gift, then sentient life is the more valuable then even the most precious jewels. But sentient life is a curse as well-for most sentient life forms are doomed to live and die on one planet-or to go on, in the void forever alone. Sentient life is blessed with the ability to create-guns, steel, and sometimes, even other forms of life. Sentient life is the universe's revolt against itself-and at the same time, it is a way to know itself.
But the life of most sentient races remains lonely, forever searching for more life, for something else to talk to-to trade with, or even war with. But the universe is infinite and even non-sentient life is rare. The encounters between two types of sentient races are rare and fleeting at best. But, the universe is also infinite. And in it's revolt against it's own order, it can be clever, in it's own unthinking way. There is one cluster, in one far-off galaxy that rebels against the very format of sentient life itself. For it plays host to more then one sentient life form, it plays host to many of them. The cluster is verdant, full of life, waiting to be explored, waiting for the sentients that occupy it's planets to reach the stars.
Now, it's wait is over. All over the cluster, different races have developed warp engines, hyper-engines, whatever they call them, the result is the same. They have broken the light barrier. The stars lay open for them to conquer, to explore. These races will be crafted by you, the Rpers, you will create one race-and guide it's way along the stars. You can lead to them to glory and ever-lasting empire or, if you fail, to be just another sad causality to the whims of the universe.
What your race becomes, what they do, is completely up to you.
The Roleplay
As you may have guessed, in this roleplay, instead guiding merely one character, you will be guiding a race of your own making. You can play as the leader of this race, one of a council or even tell the race's story from the perspective of different citizens-or, you can take a general view of it. That is up to you. I intend for this RP to be something…different then the mainstream, that put you in control of one character. You will control a race, you will control battle-fleets, ground armies, generals and lords. The cluster is at your finger tips.
But there are a few limitations, for the sake of realism and fairness. They'll be layed down in the rules-which are, conveniently, below.
1. No god-modding. No auto-hits-and you can't dodge everything thrown at you. Be reasonable.
2. Technology advancements. All technology you are research must be approved by a GM before they can researched-I'll set down a fair amount of time for you to complete the research needed to get the technology. All research projects must be started in an IC post-after being Pmed to the GM and approved.
3. Advantages/disadvantages. Each race can have two advantages-and it must have two disadvantages. There is no compromise here.
4. Be realistic. When you meet a new race, it'll take some creative thinking to even communicate. Likewise, you won't be able to research lasers right away-you've got to research the theories behind them first-and even then, infantry-held laser weapons will be another research topic.
5. No meta-gaming, you can't use out of game knowledge to advance your race in the game. If you do, the consequences will be severe. If you know what your enemy is planning out-of-the game, but not in game, you can't use that information in-game.
6. You must give your opponent a chance to react-during battle, you cannot pull off a complex maneuver in one post, you have to give your enemy a chance to respond.
7. The GM's word is law. Disobey at your own peril.
Every race is unique-describe them in the following profile.
Race Name: Duh.
Home System: Name of the races home system-and the number of planets contained within that system. There is maximum of 12 planets per system-with two life-bearing planets.
Home Planet: Name of your species home-planet.
Appearance: How does your race look? A description or picture will do.
Population: Your races population. Maximum of 12 billion to start with. Be reasonable.
Biology: What makes your race tick? Are they avian? Aquatic?
Advantages/Disadvantages: Duh.
Technology Level: All races are by default, have all the technology that modern earth possesses-as well as a FTL technology of your own naming, however, all FTL tech's, at the start at least, are roughly equal. You will add technologies you have researched to this later. A profile for these technologies is listed below. You don't have to start at the level of modern earth, you can start below it-but it is recommended to start at modern levels.
Name: Name of the tech
Purpose: It's purpose.
Description: A brief description of it.
Research: What is your race researching? Only three projects are allowed at a time-and the description for a research topic is as follows:
Project Name: Name of the research project.
Technology being Research: The technology you will gain from this.
Description of Technology/Research: What are you researching? What will it do?
Note: THIS IS NOT PART OF THE STARTING PROFILE. Cut it out and add it in when you are researching something.
History: The history of your species. What is their government now? How did it get that way? Are they united? Etc.
Fleet: The number of space-vessels your race possesses. Each race starts out with one scouting vessel. You'll add to this list once you build and design new ships. Note, each starting vessel is pretty bare-bones. You'll need to research new tech's to get them weapons, scanners, shields and such as.
Ship Types: The current ship designs you are using. Ship design profiles below. Ship designs are not a research topic-you can come up with them pretty quickly. But unless you have weapons, battleships, fighters, carriers and whatnot, are not of much use.
Ship Name: The name of this class of vessels.
Ship Type: What type of ship is it? A battleship? A scouting vessel? A colonization vessel?
Appearance: What does it look like?
Weapons: Is it armed? (starting vessels are not armed)
Other: What technology is it equipped with? (all starting vessels are, for the most, part, bare-bones, they have radio communications and digital communications (email, if they can establish a connection) as well as FTL engines. But anything else, you'll need to research.
Military: What percentage of your race is in the military? Be reasonable please.
Ground Vehicles/Weapons: What ground vehicles and weapons does your race use? This isn't as detailed as the ship types, you can be pretty general here.
Example Profile (I.E, my profile)
Race Name: Avierian.
Home System: Nes System, currently home to eight planets, two of which are life-bearing, though, of the two, only one can really support a large amount of life.
Home Planet: Avi
Population: 8 Billion
Biology: Avian in nature, the Avierian evolved from a species of high-speed flying predators, giant hawks really. They lost their ability to fly-but as their evolution went on, they gained so much more. As they lost their wings, they gained longer legs, more supportive feet-and a soaring intellect. They do retain some traits of their past-their feathery hair being the most prominent. But their thin bones and muscle structure are less then beneficial side-effect of their avian roots.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Very intelligent, excellent pilots. However, the Avierian are quite frail and vulnerable to quick changes in the environment.
Technology Level: Earth-level. Has access to FTL engines.
Name: Hyper-Engine
Purpose: Faster then light propellant.
Description: A recent break through by the planets brightest minds, the Hyper-Engine is a reasonably fast way to bridge the gap between planets, though it will still take some time for it to reach other planetary systems. Regardless, it heralds in a technological revolution for the Averian. It functions by propelling the ship foward at extreme speeds-breaking the light barrier as jet technology once broke the sound barrier-this takes alot of power however-and the slow-down can be quite...hectic.
Completed Research:
Project Name: Project Cain
Technology being Research: A start down the path of Robotic's-the general workings of advanced robots.
Description of Technology/Research: A private project funded by Dr. Corik-lan and now, the Empress, Project Cain seeks to 'uplift' the understanding that the Avierians have of robots in general, current robots function well enough on the assembly line, but they are beset by mechnical errors and breakdowns, if the technology of robotics is to advance, a solid research effort is needed. Project Cain aims to be that effort.
Time to complete: COMPLETE
Project Name: Project OutReach
Technology being Research: Primtive FTL communications-unreliable and prone to error but better then nothing.
Description of Technology/Research: Funded by the government, this projects aim too craft a viable FTL communications device for use on Avierian vessels as they play the cosmos-current communications technology is simply insufficent for a space-farng race to use. This project will, hopefully, start the Avierians down the path to reliabe FTL communications, but as it stands, any type of FTL communications is better then what they have,
Time to complete: COMPLETE
Project Name: Project SunShine
Technology being Research: Space is currently a vunerable front for the Unitary Empire, space-bound weapons are nil. This project aims to adopt ground-based and sea-bound weapons for use in space.
Description of Technology/Research: Funded by the Empress herself, this project aims to look over several different weapon designs in use by the Empire for use in space-this project seems to cater to the Empire's somewhat paranoid nature-but, the Empress is known to be a competent ruler-but this project has confused more then a few people.
Time to complete: COMPLETE
Project Name: Project ChainMail
Technology being Research: Research armor for the vessels of the Avi navy, recent contact has suggested that all the races of the cluster are quite foolish, save, perhaps, one. The Avierians must be able to defend themselves from these fools.
Description of Technology/Research: Strengthening the metal that the ships are made of and adding in additional plates seems to be a good start on the road to true armor.
Time to complete: COMPLETE
History: The early Avierians concentrated themselves in large fortified villages made of mud and hay-it was from here that they developed agriculture and domesticated their first livestock, the Avierians first weapons were somewhat primitive, stone spears and clubs-but even then, their was a sign of their budding intellect, for these weapons were often tipped with a deadly poison. As the centuries passed, these villages become cities-and technology advanced accordingly. Irrigation become widely used, canines and other creatures were trained to guard homes, to provide security and livestock was regularly herded about-outside the cities, great fields of crops stretched. And weapons technology was at the forefront, bronze weapons and armor were the rulers of the field then-with a particularly dastardly weapon, a sword-scythe of sorts at the apex-this weapon, often with it's blade coated in poison, could cut through limbs and mid-sections quite well.
But time marched on, and these cities expanded and become empires-iron ruled the age of these ancient empires-and primitive plate armor was in use by elite forces. These empires warred with neighbors on and off for many centuries-differing tactics were used, different empires rose and fell, the crossbow was invented during one of these centuries, and a dastardly device, the flame-thrower and fire-bomb saw it's debut as well. Hundreds of thousands lost their lives to these weapons. Which had allowed one empire to extend it's domain over an entire continent.
But, time as, always marched on. Seven centuries after the age of empires, came the kingdoms. The massive empires, forged by generals and lords, broke up into separate kingdoms headed by the descendents of these generals and lords-a new age of warfare dawned. Technology advanced quickly-chain mail, plate armor and such as were introduced to the battlefield within three centuries, mounted soldiers, armed with flame-throwers and crossbows, become the terror of the battlefield. Around the middle of this age, gun-powder was developed….and it forever changed the face of warfare. Bombards and hand-cannons had spread like wild-fire during this time-and losses to the kingdoms were higher then ever before. An estimated 3 million perished doing the fighting of this age.
When the age of kingdoms ended, new empires stood, smaller then the continent spanning monsters of ages past, but still powerful-and with greedy eyes turned across the seas. An age of unparalleled naval war-fare broke out. Sea-spanning empires fought each-other for dominance at a fevered pitched-massive flame-throwers and cannons, mounted on even larger vessels were regularly used-battleships toting hundreds of cannons prowled the seas-whilst quick raiders swarmed them with numbers. This brutal age saw the invention of the musket, the cannon and other such technologies-and the fighting was not limited to the sea. Massive armies clashed on open plains and in forests-the estimated body count of the battles of this age is over five million.
When that age ended, new continent-spanning empires stood-some with colonies overseas, some with pure-land based empire. During the first fifty years of this age, a state of cold existed between the empires-technology advanced quickly. Rifles and Gatling guns become the order of the day-to supplement the recently invented long-guns. Flamethrowers were still in use-though the technology had advanced somewhat-this period was marked by intermittent borders wars during the later bits of it-losses due to the battles here numbered at roughly nine-hundred thousand.
Time continued onwards, one century down the line, and whilst the rifle was still the order of the day, the design had been improved and primitive machine guns in use-large artillery pieces were common and armored cars had become a common sight. Sea-borne battleships now sported steel as their armor-and the first aircraft were taking to the skies. During this period, a brief five-year war was fought between two opposing empires-and air power seemed to be the true calling of the Avierians-the pilots of one empire, which was outnumbered, almost managed to end the war by themselves-were it not for the deployment of poison gas-which, for five long years, allowed the other empire to hold on. As their ancestors had used poison on the spear, the Avierians would use it in their artillery shells.
Soon, machine guns and tanks were added to the mix, and aircraft technology was never far behind. A system of alliances between different empires was in place as well-and the first computers were well on their way. Then, a international incident catapulted the world into war. Empires exchanged blows on countless battlefields, the sea's were filled with battleships and submarines-machine guns, tanks and poison gas caused losses to skyrocket towards 3 million-when the war finally ended, and one alliance stood tall, rubble and debris was a common sight in the country side. Indeed, some cities had been wiped off the face of the map-by a new weapon, napalm, the modern fire bomb. Whole cities were burnt to the grown by this new chemical. But an even deadlier device was on the way-for a time, technology advanced once more, computers reached a point that was never thought possible when they were first invented. But, within twenty years, a war between two empires say the deployment of a new weapon. A nuclear bomb. The two empires lost many of their major cities to this weapon-and by the time it was banned, it was to late for these empires, which were quickly absorbed by their neighbors.
One more war however, was yet to be fought. A final battle for ownership of the planet-twenty-five years later, it was fought-nuclear weapons were used, despite the treaty against them, deadly bio-plagues and these weapons combined knocked the Avierian population down from 9 billion to 7. The war was devastating-but at the end, one empire stood tall. Ruling over the world-and now, thirty years later, that empire has reached the stars.
Fleet: One Eon-Class Scouting Vessel, Five Crusader-Class Gun-Vessels
Ship Types: Eon Class-Scouting Vessels.
Ship Name: Eon-Class Scout
Ship Type: Scout
Appearance: A grey triangle-shaped vessel with three booster engines clustered about one large Hyper-engine, the bridge is located at the top of the triangle-the windows providing a rather nice view of the space in front of the ship. Atop the vessel, various communication arrays dot the center-providing a link, albeit a long one, to Avi. Most of the ship however, is given over to generators to power the Hyper-Engine.
Weapons: None.
Other: Radio/Digital communications, Hyper-Engine.
Ship Name: Crusader-Class Gun-Vessel
Ship Type: Gunship
Appearance: Resembles the Eon-class scout in most respects, however, two missle pods have been mounted on it's sides and, in front of it, underneath the bridge, a machine-cannon of the ilk used on fighter jets has been mounted. In response to threats and slander by certain races, these vessels have been deployed to defend Avi against all comers.
Weapons: 2 Missle-pods, one machine-cannon
Other: Radio/Digital communications, Hyper-Engine.
Military: 10% of the Avierian people are currently serving in the military.
Ground Vehicles/Weapons: The Avierian military is armed with rapid-fire ballistic weapons for the most part-but other weapons, anti-vehicle rifles and platforms are also quite common. The military vehicle doctrine tends to focus on overwhelming force-a few very tough vehicles supported by many weaker vehicles. However, there is an exception to this, the militaries planet-bound fighters, jet-powered all, are of the highest quality and the skill of their pilots is never in doubt.
A map of the sector as it stands, species home-worlds will be detonated by color. I'll place species home-worlds at random. As you expand, tell me what worlds you colonize (via OOC bits in a post-or via PM) and I'll add them to the map.
Blue: Avierian systems
Avierian planets: 1 colonized within their systems-their homeworld. 1 life-bearing planet uncolonized within their home system.
Light Green: Ardon systems
Ardon planets: 1 colonized within their systems-their homeworld.
Yellow: Cosmicons/Sharpian systems
Two colonized worlds-their homeworlds.
Peach: Seraphostria Systems
One colonized world, their homeworld, one small base in the Aptos astroid cluster
Orange: Akuma systems
One colonized planet-their homeworld.
Light Purple: Florasian Systems
One world colonized, their homeworld, one other life-bearing world within their home system is uncolonized.
Brown: Arcadian Systems
One planet, their homeworld, is colonized.
Red: Lavilione Systems
One planet. Their homeworld, is colonized.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Where Are We Headed? The ultimate compliance goal is to help ensure that everyone associated with an advisory firm acts ethically at all times. Advisors and RIAs should do the right thing, even when regulators are not looking over their shoulders.
- Pay-to-Play Rule Violating the pay-to-play rule can result in serious consequences, and RIAs should adopt robust policies and procedures to prevent and detect contributions made to influence the selection of the firm by a government entity.
A new advisor education partnership between fi360 and the Retirement Advisor University will join fiduciary responsibility with retirement planning training courses and designations, the partners announced Monday.
In joining forces, the Retirement Advisor University (TRAU) at the UCLA Anderson School of Management along with fiduciary education group fi360 will let students and advisors earn reciprocal course credits and participate at a discounted rate in each organization's training programs.
The shared training modules will be available at TRAU and fi360 starting in June and July, said fi360 CEO Blaine Aikin (left) in an interview with AdvisorOne.
"Through this relationship, advisors who complete the retirement modules through fi360 get tuition credit toward the C(k)P designation, and we reciprocate with TRAU toward the AIF designation," Aikin said.
C(k)P, also known as certified 401(k) professional designation, provides practical management experience and specialized training to retirement plan advisors. The AIF, or accredited investment fiduciary, designation covers legal issues and best practices for investment fiduciaries.
Regulation continues to evolve in the fiduciary world, which makes the expanded fi360 and TRAU coursework for advisors especially timely, according to Fred Barstein, the founder and executive director of TRAU.
TRAU bills itself as the first retirement planning certification program associated with a nationally recognized institution of higher learning. Through the program, advisors and wholesalers earn professional certification recognized by plan sponsor clients, prospects and the broader retirement industry.
"This partnership with fi360 will add depth to our retirement advisor curriculum," Barstein (left) said in a statement. "Given the ongoing regulatory debate surrounding the fiduciary standard, it now makes sense to increase our educational offerings to help current advisors, registered representatives and other investment fiduciaries prepare for the changes ahead."
TRAU is part of UCLA Anderson's executive education program, with courses taught by faculty members as well as retirement industry professionals. The curriculum comprises on-site classes at the UCLA campus, virtual classroom courses and self study.

She really looks cute in this little dress and is manageable without having to put another thing on her
Super cute!
Harlee is a bit of a Tom Boy with all her Motorcycle riding and car shows but she loves to get all prettied up and put on this harness with a white bow in her top knot. Fits her (5 lb Yorkie) perfectly and is very well made. Much cuter than the one in the demo video!
I love the dress - it looks great on my Pug and it fits her perfectly!
So cute, the quality is superb!!
Bought as a gift. Looks pretty. Love the lace!
Love this cute harness. Good quality, bought it to have our chihuahua wear on Easter. She seems comfortable in it. Have always had good luck with Baxter Boo's clothing, great customer service.
I ordered the cutest pink dress harness for my tiny Papillon. It fits fantastic due to the sizing information on BaxterBoo. She looks adorable! I also ordered a vest harness for another of my undersized Papillons. Both came very fast! Two days before expected delivery! Both fit perfect!
I bought this for my smaller Yorkie but it was a liitle too big. It did fit my larger Yorkie and she looks very cute in it.
Love this flower dress harness! It looks great on my little Coco. I bought quite a few clothing items from Baxter Boo. Quality is excellent & shipping is always quick.
Runs true to size. It is very cute and easy to put on.
I just love this little pink dress. It looks so cute on my peek-a-poo.
Wish Doggles made more of these great harness vests - they are durable and fashionable - I have every single one ever offered! Everyone always comments on how cute they are and wants to know where I got them. Just a note that Doggles clothing seems to run large so be sure to watch measurements!
My Yorkie is a baby, when ordering this harness, I wasn't sure if it wold fit. I ordered the extra small, but the design using velco is adjustable to make it tighter or looser as she grows. I love it! Also ordered the matching leash. Not only were both very affordable which I could not find even a close price comparison at any store I shopped at, but the harness is so very cute on her and have received numerous compliments everywhere I take her. If you are considering this site, I would definitely recommend it. Shipping is fast and accurate too!
Love walking my girl in this adorable harness. It runs a little small, shorter in length than I expected so it wears more like a shirt but very cute!
This is so cute. My chihuahua looks so sweet in this.
Princess Madison looks stunning in this harness. Practical yet beautiful.

There are sooooo many effin X-Box rumours it kinda stopped being funny after two. Seems like everybody from Microsoft is secretly telling some website some weird (and mostely bad) news. A few weeks from now the new X-Box will be revealed so I'm asking you: Is there anybody who kept track of all the rumours and more importantly the site which broke them? I would love to have a checklist of sites claiming to have some sort of "internal source" which then turns out to be true or complete BS.
(Before everybody posts this, I'm aware of the fake rumour thing somebody did)
