For 15 year-old Tetsunosuke Ichimura, childhood innocence has given way to a blinding thirst for revenge. Haunted by the vicious slaying of his parents, Tetsu joins a group of elite swordsmen to hunt down the rebels who murdered his parents.
Set during the troubled times between the arrival of Admiral Perry in 1853 and the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Peacemaker (2003) often feels like a prequel to Rurouni Kenshin, but from the politically opposite side. Tetsunosuke "Tetsu" Ichimura initially seems like an anime stereotype: the irrepressible half-pint who wins out through sheer determination. At 15, Tetsu is stubborn and impetuous, but he's wrestling with personal demons. When his older brother Tatsu becomes a bookkeeper for the Shinsengumi, a group of samurai the Shogun organized to protect the capital, Tetsu decides to join the quasi-military corps. His resolute spirit charms fey swordsman Souji Okita, who coaxes iron-willed vice-commander Hijikata into accepting the boy as a page. Tetsu becomes the unofficial mascot of the goofy but deadly ronin of the Shinsengumi: they call him "Puppy Boy," tease him about being cute, and even speculate that Hijitaka keeps him around for sexual favors. As the series progresses and the conflict with the anti-Shogun forces nears, Tetsu must decide whether to avenge his parents, who were murdered by Imperialist agents, or become a "Peacemaker," as his father desired. The spectacularly choreographed battle scenes show just how grueling a trial Tetsu faces.
Many of the characters and incidents in Peacemaker are based in fact, although the filmmakers take considerable liberties and the story rambles. But it's the interaction of the characters that gives the series its appeal: Even the minor samurai feel like credible individuals. Writer Hiroshi Yamaguchi and director Tomohiro Hirata refuse to offer facile solutions to Tetsu's inner conflict, which gives Peacemaker a satisfying depth. The boxed set lacks the many extras--both on video and in print--that were included with the individual discs. (Rated 15 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use, nudity, risqué humor) --Charles SolomonSee all Editorial Reviews

Though it hits a really dry spot in the middle of the series it picks back up right at the end, and more than makes up for the lost time.Published on January 19, 2011 by Audrey L. Greenhalgh

Best Compilation Disc
For more than a decade, etown, taped each week at the Boulder Theater, has been a staple of better National Public Radio affiliates and commercial stations from coast to coast. (In these parts, it's heard Sunday evenings on KGNU, KBCO and KUNC.) The show, hosted by Nick Forster, of Hot Rize fame, and his wife, Helen, combines environmental talk with live performances by many of the nation's finest acoustic and Americana performers. Bluegrass Roots culls excellent samples of the title genre heard by etown listeners over the years, with several cameos by area favorites. Forster pairs with Nickel Creek's Chris Thile for "Woodchopper's Reel," joins Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, David Grisman and Tony Rice on "Train 45," and spends a "Blue Night" with Hot Rize; elsewhere, fellow Hot Rizer Tim O'Brien offers a fast-fingered take on "Hey Joe," assisted by string man extraordinaire Jerry Douglas. Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs and others demonstrate their pluck as well, making the disc a first-rate edition to the growing etown catalogue.

we see Kirk been busted down to first officer by Pike, now did that mean we saw him been demoted in rank to Commander?
Now I now he says to Spock not to call him Captain and in response Spock calls him Commander instead on the way to the big meeting. Did his uniform reflect this change in rank, I couldn't tell?
Was this the first time we've seen a Commander Kirk?

IIRC, Kirk does wear the insignia of a Commander when they're at the all-hands meeting with Marcus. It would have been the first time we ever see Kirk wear the insignia of any rank lower than Captain.
I just checked the scene in question on the DVD, and Kirk is still wearing captain's insignia at the meeting.

2006 BMW 7 Series Sedan 750i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6A)
Engine and Transmission Issues!!!
Do Not Buy
Nice car and very expensive to have this type of expensive issues.
will list when they BMW does a recall. sorry :(
Recall needed urgent!!!
I have owned BMW's since early 90's - 735i, 745i and now 750i. The 750i is by far the best and worst of the 7 series. if you have a 745 series!! KEEP IT!!! much better car then the 750i... I have had transimission issues " the Jerk or safe mode problems etc" was told everything from need to replace the transimission to it needs a software upgrade.
Great looking car but just not worth the investment with today's economy... "Anyone wants to buy a 2006 BMW 750i ? will make you a heck of a deal...
Luxury package
better transimission !!!!
I have a 2006 that has had way too many problems including
Leaking engine oil
Leaking transmission oil
Ac issues
Dme replaced
Soft touch replaced
Shifting jolts
Moon roof issues
It has great ride but the quality of the car sucks! It has only 50k miles.
Best car ever. Dollar for Dollar the best value in luxury sport sedans. Great power, smooth acceleration, creature comforts abound, great styling, solid reliability. My first BMW was an 84, 318i, then graduated to 5 (98 540i) series and have owned a 2001 740i, 2004 745i and now the 750i, by far my favorite!
Drivetrain, interior, styling. If you can figure out an Ipod and an Ipad then you'll have no problems with the idrive- if you're still using a typewriter then you may have a hard time with it
More power. 360hp needs to be pushed to 420hp then it will put a permanent smile on your face
I bought this 06 750i on the last day of the month and got a great deal. car is certified. my only complaint is the around town gas mileage - is it me or do you get about 10-12 mpg in city driving on a tank. Freeway does much better. I have the two different size tire layout with 40s on back 45s on front. perhaps that contributes. Car is a rocket ship on the freeway I have also had trouble with passenger door lock - it sticks.
I drive once you get used to it is great. love the ability to shut down the battery/electrical power with the flip of switch to go away and leave the car "sleeping" on power.
Fuel economy. PS anythoughts on how to get better?

This is a great place to stay in Irving. I have to travel here from time to time and always try to stay here. The rooms are spacious with plenty of room to relax. I travel with my company owned Blackberry, personal iPhone and iPod and my Garmin GPS. There are plenty of outlets to charge everything on the desk and night stands. Even though my room was near the elevators, there was no noise problem at any time during my 4 night stay.
The breakfast is unbelievable. The price is $5.95. Since I am a frequent visitor to this property, I ask them to comp my breakfast and they normally do. But, even if I have to pay, it is an incredible value. The eggs, bacon and sausage are all cooked perfectly. The coffee is always fresh and hot. They even have to go cups so you can take a cup of coffee with you.

Kristina Marie Darling interviewed at The Critical Flame
Molly Gaudry (L) and Kristina Marie Darling (R)
Molly Gaudry was shortlisted for the 2011 PEN/Joyce Osterweil for her first verse novel, We Take Me Apart, which was also finalist for the Asian American Literary Prize for Poetry. Richard Garcia wrote of her debut, "The ordinary becomes mythical…and simple lines or sentences ring with ominous music," and Brian Evenson writes, "Gaudry's Beckettian narrative sews bright bits to near-faint whispers, slowly swaddling us in quiet and darkness." Its companion novel, Desire: A Haunting, will be released in December 2015 from Ampersand Books. Gaudry is a faculty member at the Yale Writers' Conference and the Creative Director at The Lit Pub.
Kristina Marie Darling is the author of over twenty collections of poetry and hybrid prose. A poet, fiction writer, and critic whose writing has been called "singularly graceful and stunningly incisive explorations of poetic insight" (Zach Savich), her work has been reviewed in numerous literary magazines including The Iowa Review, Ploughshares, and Boston Review. Darling holds an MA in Philosophy and is currently a Presidential Fellow and Gender Institute Dissertation Fellow at SUNY-Buffalo for a PhD in English Literature.
Darling and Gaudry corresponded over the summer of 2015, discussing their current and forthcoming work, violence and literature, how an author's identity can haunt their writing, collaboration with visual artists, and more.
Kristina Marie Darling: Desire: A Haunting is formally adventurous, offering readers white space, lyric fragments, and beautiful fractures. Tell me about your process. How did that spare, very poetic form emerge? Were form and narrative linked from the beginning?
Molly Gaudry: It took me over a year and a half, after the story was written, to find the form for Desire. Initially, it mimicked my first book, We Take Me Apart, in which the narrator's lines break syntactically. Her daughter, the narrator of Desire, sounds like her in this way, but her lines don't break on breaths—they break on long stretches of silence. And these silences, visible, draw attention to absence and ghostliness; they perform on my narrator's behalf the sadness of not just herself but also her voice being erased from memory.
So now I'll flip the question around and ask you about your process and what generated the idea for Women and Ghosts.
KMD: When I first started drafting Women and Ghosts, I was thinking a lot about the idea of textual violence and more specifically, the extent to which reading from a place of privilege can become an act of violence. As a young female writer, I can say this type of violence has certainly happened to some of my poems. An older male writer, much more established than myself, once blacked out my manuscript, wrote sexually explicit things on the work, and sent it to me in the mail. While this individual clearly doesn't represent all older, established male writers, I do view this as instance of textual violence, especially because an imbalance of power was at play.
When drafting the memoir, I wanted to explore the ways that violence (textual and otherwise) can give rise to self-destructive impulses. In other words, how does erasure of one's labor, one's voice, and one's intentions give rise to self-erasure? Can self-awareness and awareness of this cultural machinery help one reclaim one's voice? I hope these concerns come through in the formal choices I've made. The book makes use of self-erasure and footnotes, as well as grayscale and erasures of Shakespeare's tragedies (particularly Hamlet). I'm intrigued by the idea that form and the visual appearance of a poem, essay, or story can be politically charged, perhaps just as meaningful as the text itself.
I'm also deeply invested in the idea of erasure as excavation, an effort to redirect the reader's focus and prompt them to attend to something they wouldn't ordinarily notice. I trust that the erasures prompt the reader to confront gendered violence and the erasure of women's voices, as violence and erasure occur in some of the most canonical texts. To consider the myriad ways that literature shapes the cultural imagination. To spark a larger conversation about ethical reading practices.
MG: Did Jen Bervin's Nets have any influence on Women and Ghosts? Or if not, what authors and books did?
KMD: I think my process was actually a lot like yours: that the story for Desire was finished, but you continued to search for a form, a vehicle for the story that would do justice to your ideas. I finished much of the text for Women and Ghosts, but it felt disconnected, as though it were merely a collection of separate essays. While at a residency in Wyoming, I showed my work to the wonderfully talented Phil Zimmerman, a book artist, who suggested that I use the visual presentation of the work, and various typographical treatments, to unify the disparate ideas in the collection. After my discussion with Phil, I had a breakthrough, and was able to revise the draft so that it felt more cohesive, more unified.
As I revised, I looked at many examples of texts that use the space of the page as a visual field. You're absolutely right that Jen Bervin was hugely influential for me. Her work prompted me to consider the ways a text, and more specifically, an erasure, is haunted by its source materials. Every text is haunted by a deeply problematic and ethically fraught literary inheritance. Even more importantly, Bervin prompted me to think about what it means to haunt a text myself. As a woman inhabiting a predominately male literary cannon, am I uninvited guest, rustling through a dim corridor in my white dress? What does it mean to haunt one's own texts? Can different parts of the self or parts of consciousness exist in dialogue with each other in the same rhetorical space? As I considered these questions and many others, I also looked at Ronald Johnson's Radi Os, Janet Holmes' The Ms of My Kin, and of course, Yedda Morrison's Darkness, all of which use the space of the page differently, allowing white space to signify absence and presence, violence and respite.
I'd love to hear more about the visually arresting presentation of your work in Desire. To what extent is writing always visual in nature, even when we don't fully recognize it?
MG: I really love your question: "What does it mean to haunt one's own texts?" This summer, suddenly and unexpectedly, I finished a close-to-final draft of the third book in the series, Fit Into Me, a lyric memoir about reading, writing, love, and sex. It wasn't until I had a clearer understanding of the larger scale concerns of Fit that I realized just how much of myself I had put into Desire. Dog's willful denial of the violence in her past is my own. Her silence—I think she keeps it for me. Her own broken vocal cords and William's cut neck, the broken-necked flowers in We Take Me Apart that dog's mother sews back together after a storm—these aren't just gory details. Writing Fit, I came to better understand why I was so insistent on the achronology of Desire, why I fought so hard to have Parts One and Two follow chronologically but Part Three exist entirely in flashback. Desire ends in memory, picks up where We Take Me Apart leaves off. Desire ends in the unspeakable past. I guess it makes more sense to me, even now, why it took so long for me to find the right form for Desire. All that unvoiced pain, visible on the page and breaking, breaking, breaking.
What about your decision in Women and Ghosts to use grayscale as well as strike-through to create the erasures? Is it a double erasure? Or a move that makes the invisible actually more visible?

Patient Women by Larissa Shmailo Reviewed in Books for Readers #179
Hurray and congrats to Larissa Shmailo, her new novel Patient Women was reviewed in Books for Readers #179. Here is an extract:
Probably the biggest surprise of my summer reading was Patient Women by Larissa Shmailo. Shmailo is a highly accomplished poet, editor, and translator (see my review of her poetry in Issue # 169) . She does a lot of so-called "mixed" media, and she blogs at larissashmailo.blogspot.com. She is productive and successful, and lives a rich life in the arts.
She is also a survivor and child of survivors, and in her new novel Patient Women, she fictionalizes pieces of her life and recreates passages from her parents' lives as well as creating searing poems ostensibly written by her character Nora Nader.
There is plenty of recreational sex and drugs and drinking and also sex work, and brilliant recreations of the downtown milieu of New York City in the nineteen seventies. Much, much sensation and despair and struggle. There are whorehouse discussions during down time about what you want in an ideal client, and there are stunning shocks: at one point, Nora finally finds a man who has potential as a long term partner. They marry-- and he drowns on their honeymoon.
Nora's life is out of control, but the novel is completely in the novelist's control. In her great confidence in her own powers, Shmailo moves towards the end out of the straight narrative into a series of experiments in story telling and genre.
The bulk of the book is the grim narrative of Nora's dive into the lower depths and her grumbling return to sobriety through the efforts of a saintly trans friend who is dying of AIDS. Then, Nora begins to press her mother to repeat and explain family stories of their time in concentration camps under the Nazis: how they survived intact. She includes her mother's stories as free-standing short works, and it becomes increasingly clear that the family was not intact at all. The stories throw Nora into a near psychotic state of remembering that seems like too much for one person to bear. She says goodbye to Chrisis, her dying sobriety sponsor. She gives support to a dying stranger, money to a beggar. She notices that the world is still around her. And then come the poems, which act both as a reprise of the themes and events of the novel and also also as unnarrated evidence of Nora's talent and hopeful future. It is a gamble, to end a novel with so many passages in a different genre, but it pays off beautifully: Nora doesn't forget, perhaps doesn't even move on completely, but she can be with people. She can create.

Failure Lyric by Kristina Marie Darling reviewed
Kristina Marie Darling's Failure Lyric
Kristina Marie Darling interviewed by Andre Blythe
Poet Spotlight: Kristina Marie Darling on Mapping Heartbreak
Kristina Marie Darling is the author of over twenty collections of poetry and hybrid prose. Her writing has been described by literary critics as "haunting," "mesmerizing," and "complex." She has been awarded with a number of fellowships and grants by both U.S. and overseas universities, institutes, and organizations. She is currently working toward both a Ph.D. in English Literature at S.U.N.Y.-Buffalo and an M.F.A. in Poetry at New York University. Here, Kristina shares a bit about her latest collection of poetry, hybrid art forms, and the act of writing as catharsis.
Your most recent book of poetry is Failure Lyric. Tell us a bit about this project and how it came about.
Failure Lyric began as a series of erasures. I took a black marker to my four year correspondence with a male writer, who, out of respect for his work, will remain unnamed. What started out as an act of destruction became generative, since the hybrid prose pieces ultimately grew out of the erasures at the beginning and end of the book. Once I had erased every last email, note, and inscription, I started to write flash essays, which map my heartbreak and all of the unexpected places it brought me to: Saint Louis, Iowa, Burlington, and the now infamous Dallas/Fort Worth airport. So my initial attempts to destroy artifacts of the relationship became a documentary project, charting the crazy orbits that grief set me on.
The collection features mainly prose poems that unfold in a single story. Did you have a specific story you wanted to tell when you began writing? Or did the story evolve into being as you added individual poems together?
That's a great question. I definitely discovered the story as I wrote. The book began as mere catharsis, an attempt to move past the end of the end of a relationship. With that said, I didn't expect the artifacts of loss, and my own grief, to inspire me to write at all. I didn't expect anything to come of the erasures except peace of mind maybe, or a good night's sleep. Then I couldn't stop writing. As the book began to take shape, the order was very close to the chronological order in which the poems were written. My grief became something concrete, a ledger of sorts, which will never be completely finished.
Some of your work has been described as hybrid prose. How would you define hybrid prose? Would the prose poems in Failure Lyric fall under this definition? How do you decide which form to use when you approach a new piece of poetry or prose?
While there are many different definitions of hybridity circulating within the literary community, I would define hybrid as a text that uses the resources of more than one genre. This can range from combinations of essay and poetry to hybrids of poetry and visual art, poetry and fiction, or even poetry and the dramatic arts. When deciding which form to use for a piece of poetry or prose, I usually consider the expectations the reader will bring to the text. Even more importantly, how can I undermine those readerly expectations? I see form as an opportunity to purposefully mislead the reader, offering them moments of beauty where they likely wouldn't expect to find them.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Pavelec Goes Old-School
by Paul on 11/01/09 at 02:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
My face would have been buried in my catching glove, but not Pavelec.
from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
"I was scared a little bit. I felt like Jacques Plante 50 years ago," said Pavelec, a 22-year-old from the Czech Republic who's getting a shot with oft-injured Kari Lehtonen on the shelf again. Kovalev took the shot on a wraparound after Pavelec had had his mask knocked off in a scrum late in the second period. "I can tell you now it was not fun. A little scary, but it wasn't a hard shot. I don't think (Kovalev) could see (he had lost his mask). It wasn't his fault. There was no blood."
"I softened my hands," said Kovalev, who saw the netminder was bare-faced.

Terrific duck sauce. It's somewhat reminiscent of the sauce used in Peking duck (Plum sauce?) Not difficult at all.

Health Matters: Broken heart syndrome is real and needs treatment
Q: Is it true that women can suffer from a broken heart? Is it serious? — A.J, Belton
A: In the last 20 years or so, more has been learned about a syndrome commonly referred to as the broken heart syndrome. The condition was originally called takotsubo cardiomyopathy and is now more commonly called stress-induced cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome. Originally reported by physicians in Japan, they noted that the left ventricle of patients presenting with certain symptoms resembled a tako tsubo, which means it looks like a fishing pot for trapping octopus. I had to look up a picture of this pot to know what it was the doctors were seeing! The good news is that the symptoms are treatable and tend to resolve with treatment.
The symptoms of stress-induced cardiomyopathy include chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats and generalized weakness. It is difficult without tests to differentiate the symptoms from a heart attack and it is best to call 911. Treatment is necessary whether or not you have had a heart attack or stress-induced cardiomyopathy. The treatment just differs.
Most heart attacks are caused by a blockage of one or more of the major arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The blockage can be partial or complete. In the broken heart syndrome, the arteries are not blocked even though there may be a reduced blood flow. The exact cause of the syndrome is not understood completely. It is suggested that stressful events may cause a dramatic increase in certain hormones, like adrenaline, that then cause changes in the heart function.
The broken heart syndrome is more common in women than men, though men have been identified with the syndrome. It is also more common in people over age 50. The profound stressful events that might trigger stress-induced cardiomyopathy have included the sudden, unexpected death of a loved one, domestic abuse, loss of a job and even physical stressors like a severe infection. And there are physical changes in heart function, so this is not just emotional symptoms that will just go away. Blood enzymes and ECG (electrocardiogram) tests will show some changes. An echocardiogram may be ordered to see if the heart is enlarged or the typical abnormal (tako-tsubo) shape is present. In some situations, a person may have a coronary angiography performed to make sure that there is no presence of blocked arteries or it is when the angiography is performed and no blocked arteries are present that the diagnosis is made.
Most people who are diagnosed with stress-induced cardiomyopathy recover quickly and have no lasting effects. Complications can occur, so it is important that you seek treatment for the symptoms and that you make sure that the appropriate treatments are in place. You may need heart medications during your hospital stay to help your heart recover. Some doctors will continue the therapy after discharge as well. Since further stress can result in another episode, most doctors recommend programs that help people learn strategies to manage stress.

January 5th, 2010 9:39 AMTox16x32? Got it. :3 Wow, that's awesome. I never realised you could do that before. I'll get to work on one right away. I'll post it for you when I have it done. Okay, I'll leave the colours to you then, lol. Do you want the boy's walking sprites and side and back sprites too? I have this sprite I made for Meowth's Pokémon the First Movie hack. I've improved since then but this is all I have on my laptop at the moment. Is it something like this you want?
Normal boy is it. I'm glad to help. I terrible at everything other than overworlds. xP
EDIT: Okay, just forward, back and side sprites. Got it. Lol, yeah, the last thing you want is for something as simple as the walking to be messed up. Can I ask what type of hack you're making? Is it a remake, a completely new region, etc.? Are you putting in those Fakémon things?
Lol, if things go well it could turn out be a pro-hack. It sounds awesome so far anyway. :3
Haha, yep, my name's Andrew. Andrew Shortall (my last name sounds like something I made up on the spot, I know. xD). Hey Eoin! Nice name, lol.
January 5th, 2010 9:38 AMToxHaha, yep, that's me alright. You're so lucky. That sounds awesome. :3 Lol, nice. I've got caught by other people's parents but not my own. Haha, nice. Are you tall enough to look their age. I'm only 5'6" and half so I doubt I'd get away with that. D: I'd love to be able to do that though.
Haha, that sounds hilarious. What age is he? It sounds like something that would happen to me. xD My parents are way too strict. :/
Haha, German for Leaving Cert. Only 6 people in my whole year did Higher Level German for the Junior Cert (including me of course). Our teachers were so bad. Still, I kinda wish I'd done it now. The German class gets Fat Murphy to teach them. She just b!tches about teachers and some annoying guy in the class that everyone hates, lol. My French teacher is so boring.
Heh, I know yeah. He's a complete tool though. He's about 50 and his wife has to drive him to school. He looks like an overgrown child because he brings a school bag and a lunch box around with him. xD
Lol, yep, it costs 99c a day as long as you use less than 50MB. Any internet use on O2, Vodafone and Meteor costs that, I'm sure. Opera Mini is completely free. Is that what you meant?
January 4th, 2010 3:17 PMgiradialkiaLol, man you're exactly like me, I go on the internet on my phone everyday, I'd be screwed without it.
You know, I pretty much can do most of the fun stuff easily xD. Oh, we've never gotten caught, thank god. Well... I mean we drink in pubs, which are obviously public places, but nobody really bothers us, as it's usually 18th parties (a perk of Leaving Cert year- everyone has parties) and there're loads of other people our age there.
Lol the last party I was at, my friend got absolutely SLASHED. I had to get him outta there, and just as I got him outside, he fainted, lol. We had to bring him in to his bed, and his mam found out, and he's not allowed out for god knows how long, haha.
Ah, German... We can barely form sentences. And I'm in the Higher Level class. So we're screwed... But I don't really care! :D
I hate teachers like that. They don't know $hit, and don't acknowledge when you do, lol.
Kinda going back to random part of our conversation, for Opera Mini, does it cost you €1 per day, any day you use it? It does for me, see, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to.
Edit: oh yeah, about the Overworlds. They must be 16x32 pixels. If you have VisualBoy Advance, open up Fire Red or Emerald, and when you're actually in the game, goto Tools and then OAM Viewer. Use the scroll bar that appears, until you see your trainer Overworld sprite. That's what I mean. If it's not too much trouble, could you just make a normal boy sprite? Not a trainer in particular- there's like 5 sprites left to be replaced, and only one of those sprites has a trainer class, but this way you can go wild with your imagination haha. Just a plain... Boy sprite. Fire Red style, as you probably know. The Overworlds, again, must be 16x32, and indexed to 16 colours. You needn't worry as to what colours you use, as I'll have to edit them to fit the existing palettes (if ya so much as have one colour wrong, about 14 different sprites screw up, because they all share palettes. That's why I did a mass-import of all the Fire Red overworlds and colour palettes, which took ages). You don't need to worry about the colours you use, though, I'll deal with that part. Ok, so if you want, a normal boy to start with. Thanks, I'm a spriter myself but I'm crap at Overworld spriting, so this is a great help.
Edit Again: for the actual sprite, just do one where the sprite is looking down, one where it's looking up, and one where it's looking to the left. I can manage the walking sprites, I just have to paste the heads on other bodies (but in a way that it works. Trust me, this is no noob hack...
...Having said that, it's no pro hack, either. Ah, sure it's alright, y'know?xD)
Can I ask, what is your real-life name (lol)? I'm Eoin, Eoin Finnegan.
January 4th, 2010 12:00 PMToxYep, if you go one bite over 50MB, you get ripped off. MP3s used to take mine a load before. I limit the amount I download now though so it doesn't happen as often. I try to keep my credit. I use the internet everyday though and I always have my phone with me so it still goes pretty quickly.
Yeah, that's one of the ones I was talking about. I never played it but it sounds pretty cool. I'm pretty sure it's only in Japanese too.
Aww, nice. I wish I was in 6th year, lol. It sounds awesome. You can do all the fun stuff easily so. Damn. I'm one of the oldest out of my friends so I'm pretty much screwed. One of their brothers has to get everything for us, lol. Haha, yeah, I'm a complete lightweight too. Lol, I'm always first drunk and the first to get caught. I can't wait till I'm old enough to be able to get stuff on my own.
Oh, that sounds great. I'd probably be interested in something along those lines as well. I really like those kind of things. I still haven't a clue what I'm doing though. Haha, I haven't been able to drop any subjects yet besides German. I had to do that for my Junior Cert as well though. Aww, I can see why you dropped it then. We have a couple of those here too, lol. I'm not that good at it. I got a B in my Junior Cert and he freaked. :/ I don't know why he thinks I'm so good at it. I get the same results in everything else and I got 4s in some of them, and the teacher that doesn't know my name or who I am, gave me 3 all the way across in computers, lol. He can't even get the Task Manager window to show up. xD
January 4th, 2010 11:57 AMToxOh right, lol. Yeah, it'd probably take a while to make. Haha, nice one. R/S/E sprites are terrible. FR/LG sprites are ace. It sounds awesome. :3
Oh really? That would be awesome. I'd love to make a few for you. Just tell me what kind of overworlds you're looking for (Male, Female, Age, Trainer class, etc.) and I'll make a few for you. What way do you put them in the game? Do you have a specific way that you need everything laid out? Thanks. :3
Oh cool, I might try that myself some time. It sounds simple enough. If it's just like Paint then it should be easy for me to get the hang of it. Thanks for explaining that.
Yeah, Scripting always seemed the most difficult to me. I'd probably just confuse myself. It takes a while for me to get into things like that.
January 3rd, 2010 2:13 PMgiradialkiaOh, god I haven't posted it yet. I'll not be finished for another ages. I got rid of all the horrible RSE overworlds with the Fire Red ones, though, so graphically the hack is wicked, lol. I didn't get to redo any maps yet but I know what I want them to look like, so it's all good, just a matter of doing it.
Actually, there are still a few slots left for Overworlds (there's more in RSE than Fire Red, so there's a few out-of-place ones. If you want to do some, I don't mind, i'll use them- with full credit of course:D. But it's no problem if you don't, because I can just use other in-game overworlds.
Mapping is pretty easy, once you download AdvanceMap. It's just like spriting, but not half as hard- you just pick a tile, and drag the mouse where you want the tile to appear. It's like using Paint, but with tiles. Scripting... Requires practice and patience. I haven't mastered it fully yet, which is part of the reason I haven't posted a thread.
AH! So THAT'S why my credit used to be gone. Well, either that or any MP3 file I downloaded took all my credit. It was really annoying, but I don't download alot of stuff in bulk anymore, so I get to keep my credit.
Oh, I think I know what you mean- one of my friends, a genius, got a japanese Rom called Final Fantasy- Tales of Dissidia or something, and it's basically a game a bit like Tekken or Street Fighter, but with Final Fantasy characters. It's pretty cool, but only in Japanese, as far as I'm aware.
Yeah, almost all of them can drink and drive legally. It's great, though, I can always get a lift, and don't have to worry about not getting served, as they can just get it for me, lol. Not that I'm an alco- I'm a total lightweight, but.. Yeah. :D lol.
I was thinking of Games Development, Music Technology, Software design, along those lines. I make music, too, so it'd be good to get a proper understanding of the technology. Ugh, I haven't done business since first year. My teacher was the hairyest woman I've ever seen, it was horrible. You must be good, though, getting 5/5 on everything:D do you like business, no?
January 3rd, 2010 1:22 PMToxThat's cool, I'm not talking to myself then. xD Is XII any good? I haven't played any of the newer ones. I've played I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and X. IV and VI my favourites though, and the only ones I've actually completed on my own.
Hardly any of the stories tie in with each other. They're all seperate stories with different characters. X-2 is the sequel to X though. I haven't played it at all but I heard it's better than X. Then, they have a few others such as Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which is seventeen years on from IV. The same characters are in the story and stuff. There are a few spin-off games and ones where they take a main character and enemy from each game and put them into one game. I haven't played the online one but there definately is a new one online. You have to pay and stuff though so I'm not playing it. I'm the one rambling. xD
Aww god, I don't want to go back ever. Dx Haha, homework. I haven't done that since early 2nd Year. Physics. O.o I don't know what I'm going to do. Every career I think I'd like involved science, but my business teacher thinks I'm uber smart and gave me 5/5 in everything on my report card and told me he wants me to do accountancy. o.O Haha, nice. That's probably what I'll do. Oh god, 17 in college? o.O I'll be 19-20 at least? Haha, that's pretty cool, but not so cool at the same time. Your friends can drive and drink legally and stuff? D: I want to be in 6th Year. xD I wouldn't be able for the Leaving Cert at your age. I don't even know which subjects I'm taking. Awesome, parties. xD That sounds so cool.
Haha, I haven't the slightest clue. I was supposed to do careers investigation before Christmas but I... eh... forgot... I hope I don't get asked for it after Christmas. xD I'll just pretend she lost it. xD What are you planning on doing?
January 3rd, 2010 1:21 PMToxHaha, nice. xD Yeah, Opera Mini is my best friend. I use it more than I use my computer. Haha, that sounds awesome. :3 My only problem is I tend to use more than 50MB sometimes and waste all my credit. TT.TT
Heh, yeah, they can be really cool. I just don't like the ones filled with poorly drawn Fakemon. Awesome, have you posted it here? I might take a look at it. :3 That sounds annoying. I'd love to make a hack but I have no idea on how to map or script and I'm not great a spriting. The only thing that ever turns out good for me is overworlds. So basically, I'd end up with one of those crappy ones nobody wants to play, lol. Hacks can be awesome though. :3 Lol, that's alright so.
January 2nd, 2010 4:22 PMgiradialkiaOh, cool:D I've only 2GB for my phone, but that's more than enough for me (like you, I'll never fill it.
Believe it or not, one day we were out shopping, I decided I wanted to play the HeartGold ROM when I got home. I didn't actually have it, so I just downloaded it to my phone, rofl. It was something like 40Mb but by the time I got home it was finished, and I just stuck in the card reader and I was able to play, haha. I love Opera Mini, it can download anything.
Yeah, I don't really play much hacks. I look at them, and I'm trying to make one. Had to start over again today, though, and it took ages to replace the graphics I had put in. Still not finished it yet.
No, no more buckets...:D haha.
Oh, Final Fantasy. Yeah, I like them. I only ever had XII to own, myself, but that wasn't that great. My friend has all the old ones on Roms though, and gave some of them to me. I like the 2D graphics, too, lol.
I don't really get it, maybe you can explain- do any of the stories actually tie in with each other? Because... They's on what, XIII or XIV now (the newest is online- only, I think? I dunno. Rambling, lol)?
Yeah, school... I'm back Thursday, too. Gonna suuuuuuck. I actually had homework, that I haven't really done yet, per sé... Lol. Physics is tedious.
Oh, Jaysus, I'm honestly not sure if anyone really studies. Or cram. We just read stuff and hope it sticks, haha... I may actually study this year, though. Unless I have to repeat. I'm not 17 til september, which is around when everyone else is starting college, heh. I think, depending on my Leaving results, I'll be repeating, because I'll be too young to do anything anyways (three of my best friends, who are in my class, had their 18ths while I was 15. They all did Ty, hahaha. The parties were great, until one of their older brothers found out just how young I was...
Nah, he didn't care:D lol. I know you don't even need to be thinking bout it, but have you thought about what you want to do for a job when you're done with school?
January 2nd, 2010 3:12 PMToxHaha, you still have quite a lot. I don't sacrafice Pokémon for any game. Well, maybe Final Fantasy. Those games are amazing. I'm still really into IV and VI. I love the 2D graphics for some reason. I love the new ones too, obviously. IV and VI just have the best storyline, in my opinion. If you don't like Final Fantasy, you can just ignore this paragraph. I'm just going on about nothing again.
Wow, lol. That's a lot of ROMs. I don't have any of the Nintendo DS ones. I really want to get my ROM Pokémon to my DS. It's way too complicated for someone with a short attention span like me though.
I never actually got that far in puzzle challenge. My friend got pretty far. I think I deleted the game though... Oops. I love some hacks. I should really download some. The only one I've completed is Pokémon White. I played it as a joke. xD Yeah, MeBoy is awesome. I'm so glad I found it.
Oh, that's good. No more buckets then? xD Aww god.. School... uurggh.. I'm back on Thursday, I think. How about you? I'd love to just go off to the city on a bus or something. I'm not looking forward to it, even if we do nothing. It means I'm closer to 5th Year. I was barely able to handle the Junior Cert. Cramming won't be any good for the Leaving. :/
January 2nd, 2010 3:11 PMToxHaha, alright then. I have a thing for long messages at times, lol.
I know right, I really want them to be released in March. Oh right... Oops. Haha, I suppose it's the game that matters, not the name. Meh, I'm not really a Legendary Pokémon fan. They're too common for me. I like training up teams of average Pokémon. That's why it doesn't make a difference to me. Sure I'll capture the legendaries, but just to complete the Pokédex. I think legendaries are a bit overated. They take the fun out of the games. Everyone has an Arceus. D:
Haha, yeah, I have them all so if I get bored in one game, I can play another without deleting everything. I have 4GB on my phone anyway and I won't use it. I have my iPod for music and videos. I only put new music on my phone so I can send it to people.
Haha, that's pretty cool. :3 But sad at the same time. Yeah, my dad's a buildery thing too. I don't know for sure. xD Heh, I don't even know what my dad does half of the time. He had to work in Limerick for a while. Haha, I love nicknaming Pokémon. I don't even know why.
Cyndaquil looks awesome. I used to always start with it. I only realised how awesome Chikorita is last month. I never liked Meganium until I got one - it's ace.
Oh cool. It sounds unreal. I didn't bother downloading it though. Japanese wrecks my head. I just look at screenshots. xD Yeah, I'm waiting for the English version too.
January 2nd, 2010 12:52 PMgiradialkiaHaha, post as long a message as necessary, lol- I don't mind.
Omigawd yes I can't wait til they come out. I'm actually getting HeartGold. Yes, the name is stupid, but I prefer Ho-Oh. Which is a stupid reason as it's in both games, but I'm still getting HeartGold, haha. Oh, yeah- I put Crystal on my phone so I can always play it if I'm bored. It's brilliant!
Rofl, we're on roughly the same boat, regarding... Everything. My dad is pretty much unemployed right now- he's a carpenter/builder (I don't even know for sure, lol) but now I think he's pretty much a handyman for people who need doors put in or something. Anyways, I too have chosen my starter and some nicknames...
I have the ROM of HeartGold. It's slow, though, and Japanese. But the new graphics are amazing... I played to like Violet City. Then I got bored of resetting, and not understanding. So I'm waiting for the English version to come out.
Wow, you've much more than me lol. I've Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Pearl and Platinum. I sold Diamond recently, because it took the price off Modern Warfare 2, and I didn't need it:D
I have the ROM of every handheld Pokemon game, excluding the Ranger games and Mystery Dungeon Blue (but I got my Manaphy from Ranger before I sold it, lol, hence it's not in the above list. I also had Blue Rescue team, but sold that back, too). I've recently been playing the likes of Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. For an old spinoff, it's great! Basically, on my phone I've got the ones you have, along with a few hacks, like Prism and Brown. I love Meboy, lol.
Oh, yeah, the water came back yesterday. Thank god. And it's like.. "stronger" than it was before. Probably coming right from a river or something lol.
Ah.. Only one more week til school. When are you back?
January 2nd, 2010 9:11 AMToxMy laptop wouldn't let me send all the message at once. D:
Haha, yeah, it does sound a little strange but I actually love most of it. I love the main games, the Mystery Dungeon series are alright (but I get bored if I play them more than once), I still love the original anime <3 (not so much the new one) and I like most Pokémon websites. How about you?
Indeed I am. I can't wait for them actually. I frickin' love them. I've restarted Silver and started to play through it again. I'm getting SoulSilver. HeartGold... The name makes me cringe. If anyone ever found me with that my social life would be ruined, lol. </3 Do you know which one you're getting?
I've chosen my starter and everything already. I even have some of the Nicknames picked out, lol. Yes, I'm that sad. I'm going with Chikorita. I like challenges. Cyndaquil looks cool and all, but its way too easy to get through the game (until you get to Whitney, that is).
Do you have any of the other games? I have loads of them. On GBC/GBA/NDS, I have Red, Blue, Yellow x2, Silver x2, Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, Pearl, Pinball, Blue Rescue Team, Ranger and Dash. On my phone I have Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Trading Card Game, Pinball and Puzzle Challenge. Then I have ROMs for all of the ones on my phone, Emerald and FireRed. Obsessive, much?
Long message, sorry. :/
January 2nd, 2010 9:10 AMToxSorry, I left this even longer. I thought I'd replied already.
Oh yeah. :3 I love my laptop, lol. Now I can sit in my room all day. :3
Oh, that's no problem. It's all done now.
Aww, that sounds terrible. Nice, haha. Yeah, just a tad too much there, lol. That's good... ish.. Has it come back yet? I'd hate if that happened to me. I freak if our electricity goes for a day. Lol.
Oh, that's alright so. At least you've made money. Haha, I need to start saving up now. I'm broke! Oh right, sounds cool. Presents are presents. :3 I know you mean. My dad's job is gone so now he's fixing up our old pub. Money's tight here too. I'm happy with my laptop. It was a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting much really.
December 31st, 2009 5:21 PMgiradialkiaSorry, left this on for ages, you're probably offline now.
Yeah, I suppose a job'd be good for me, too. That way I could afford a laptop, lol:D
Oh by the way, I thought the last message hadn't sent, so I delayed adding you as a friend. Which is now irrelevant, as you added me. Lol.
Yes, no water is suckish. I'm feeling distinctly unclean (ooah, that's kinda creepy lol). And we have to keep a bucket of water beside the toilet to refill the bowl when we flush it. (sorry, bit too much info, haha). Today, it came back. Well, it kinda came back. There's literally feck all pressure and it'd probably stop if you left it long enough. Hopefully it'll be back by tomorrow or the next day.
I've actually not thought about it... I suppose I might actually get paid, so it's not too bad. I also finished Modern Warfare 2, so I can sell it back, lol. Great, they also gave me €20 as a late Christmas present, so I'll probably make about 60 altogether, haha!
I got Modern Warfare 2, GTA IV, and clothes and such. My sister started college this year, and that along with the recession made things fairly tight, money wise. But I couldn't care less as to what I got, as I didn't really want anything in particular, anyways:D
So, although it ironically feels a bit strange to ask at our age, what Pokemon related stuff are you in to? Are you planning on getting one of the remakes? (I'll be honest- I am. They were the best games of my childhood, and I'm a nostalgia freak, lol)
All times are UTC -8. The time now is 8:46 PM.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent outbreak of MRSA (Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, often referred to as "the superbug," should cause organizations and facilities nationwide to reevaluate and redouble their infection control efforts.
The superbug is resistant to common antibiotics. It manifests its symptoms as skin infections such as abscesses, boils and other pus-filled lesions. Superbug infections prior to 2007 were most frequently found in hospital and healthcare facilities (nosocomial infections) and were referred to as HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections). However, recent outbreaks are being categorized as Community-Assisted (CA)-MRSA infections, which occur in otherwise healthy people who have not been hospitalized or had a medical procedure within the past year. Workout facilities, school gymnasiums, manufacturing facilities and even office buildings have all been affected, requiring the immediate decontamination and disinfection of affected areas.
LVI Services Inc. specializes in infection control (http://www.lviservices.com/SERVICE/infection.asp) and has recently completed several successful superbug emergency response cleanups, which involved neutralizing and reducing the potential for transmission of infectious agents. LVI's means and methods of remediation include infection control containments, negative air pressure, and materials and processes that destroy and remove the bacteria.
"Our technicians determine potential areas of MRSA contamination and isolate and restrict the areas as a first order of business," said Al Draper, director of restoration for New York City-based LVI Services. "Our focus is on tackling infected sites to contain and destroy these bacteria and keep people safe and healthy."
The superbug scare has reinforced the urgency for proper infection

Premier software provider, Ability Commerce, was selected again by The Golf Warehouse (TGW) for their Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains) implementation.
Delray Beach, FL July 11, 2013
Ability Commerce, the leading provider of ecommerce, order management and financial platforms, today announced that they have successfully implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 (formerly Great Plains) at The Golf Warehouse (TGW). In addition, Ability Commerce has also successfully integrated the Dynamics GP solution to TGW's JDA Direct Commerce (Ecometry) back-end system. The solution will provide the internet retailer with unified reporting and business intelligence of all their order related financial data.
"We've worked hard on developing a robust GP integration into our existing Ability OMS module, as well as other order management and ERP solutions, like JDA, making us a preferred GP vendor of choice for JDA Direct Commerce customers," stated Shawn Ellen, Manager of Sales and Marketing for Ability Commerce.

Now, under the umbrella of a new parent company, and given the opportunity to choose their financial module of choice, TGW again chose to re-purchase and implement Dynamics GP through Ability Commerce.

This sequel involves an action packed battle with a Chinese ganglord.
In the fourth and reportedly final film of the Lethal Weapon series, director Richard Donner reunites with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, who reprise their roles as Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh for one last hurrah in a film that is decidedly better than the third and first chapters. This time the pair are pitted against Jet Li, who plays the leader of a Chinese organized crime unit. Li, a veteran of hundreds of Hong Kong action films, more than holds his own against the more established team of Gibson, Glover, Renee Russo, and Joe Pesci with his subtle yet strong portrayal of the quietly irrepressible Wah Sing Ku. As always with the Lethal series, the plot is incredibly simple to follow: someone steals something, someone gets killed, and Murtaugh is reluctantly thrown into the mix while Riggs dives into the case with gleeful aplomb. As with the previous movies, we watch for the sheer action and chemistry alone. The action sequences throughout the fourth installment are exquisite, from the opening scene involving a flamethrower, a burning building, and a half-naked Murtaugh strutting like a chicken (don't ask, just watch), to the climactic showdown that pays genuine tribute to Jet Li's masterful martial art skills. As for chemistry, the bond between these characters is so strong by now that you sometimes feel like you're watching a TV series in its sixth season, such is the warm familiarity between the audience and the personalities on the screen. The humor is more fluid than ever, aided immeasurably by the casting of comedian Chris Rock, who like Li does a great job of making his presence known in some memorable verbal tirades that would bring a smile out of the Farrelly brothers. But it's the verbal and emotional jousting between Glover and Gibson that makes this fourth episode especially appealing; both are in peak form with great physical and verbal timing. One can only hope that if this is indeed the last of the Lethal films, that it won't be the last time we see Glover and Gibson together on screen. --Jeremy Storey

Where is video compression headed, and what ultimately will be the role of over-the-top TV?
Those questions, among others, will be addressed during the MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) Master Class at IBC2010 Monday, Sept. 13. The 2010 Master Class will bring together technologists, executives, operators and content owners to explore these critical issues and discuss the opportunities they present.
While MPEG-4 AVC has produced substantial video compression efficiencies, which have propelled it past MPEG-2 as that codec's successor, the possibility for even greater compression efficiencies is on the horizon with the unceasing progression in processing power. Already simulations of H.265, or HEVC (high-efficiency video coding), have produced promising results.
The MPEGIF Master Class will explore these developments and their impact on service operators as they plan for the future. The class also will examine the role greater compression efficiency may play in delivering 3-D TV content to the home.
The other question mark when it comes to home viewing is over-the-top TV. With an abundance of set-top boxes making TV-Internet connectivity possible and a growing number of Internet-enabled TVs hitting the market, traditional content distributors are scrambling to define their role in the unfolding TV landscape. The MPEGIF Master Class will examine over-the-top TV and how the business model for this developing content distribution source may play out.
