From JULIANA TAIWO-OBALONYE, Abuja
President Goodluck Jonathan has waded into the crisis which led to two communities in Anambra and Kogi states laying claim to Orient Oil. He commissioned the facility in August this year. Since the commissioning of the first oil refinery built by Orient Petroleum at Aguleri Otu in Anambra East Local Government Area which makes Anambra, an oil producing state, some of her neighbours, including Kogi and Enugu states have been claiming ownership of the well.
The President after meeting with Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra and his Kogi counterpart, Idris Wada, is said to have directed the National Boundary Commission to expedite action and ensure all the matters are resolved early enough to forestall any violence. Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, Wada said, "the President has given the necessary directives. We are very happy with the meeting, we are going back very happy to tell our people that Mr. President is handling this matter in an expeditious manner according to laid down procedures and at the end of the day, the matter will be resolved amicably".
Obi said: "The outcome of the meeting is very amicable. The issues regarding to areas where the oil wells are located will be settled amicably. We will work together as states of this federation". Wada had in an official statement, said that "Kogi will be a major stakeholder in the refinery, considering the fact that the oil wells that will supply crude to the refinery are in Odeke community in Ibaji Local Government Area of the state."
The governor was backed by a group called Ibaji Development Association (IDA) which says that oil wells OPL 915 and 916 are located in Kogi, not Anambra State, as claimed by Orient Petroleum which is carrying out exploration in the area. In a message to President Jonathan, the ID had said: "The area where the current productive oil well is located is in Odeke community in Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State and not in Anambra state.
"Oil exploration activities leading to the successful access to crude oil were carried out in Kogi State within Odeke, Echeno, Ehile, Anocha and Omabo communities by Orient Petroleum Plc. Workers of this company actually rented houses in these communities as quarters for the final phase 1 of the testing of these wells", the group had said.
They called on President Jonathan then to officially declare Kogi, an oil producing state, saying, "our non-resistant stance should not be misconstrued to mean cowardice, even in the face of glaring provocation from Anambra State whose communities are already head over heels fighting to corner the benefits of the oil wells that do not belong to them." But in a broadcast to the people, Gov. Obi had expressed shock over the claims on the oil field discovered in his domain.
Tracing the formation of Orient by Anambra and the efforts of his state so far, he said: "It is pertinent to recall that Orient Petroleum Resources Plc was formed during the Government of Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju in 2001 and allocated oil fields domiciled in Anambra State. "The board is peopled by prominent Nigerians of Anambra extraction such as Chief Emeka Anyaoku (Chairman), Dr. Alex Ekwueme (Vice-Chairman) and Chief Arthur Mbanefo, among others.
Its management is led by Engr. Emeka Nwawka, "Though Dr. Mbadinuju did not make any direct monetary contribution, under Dr. Chris Ngige (2003-2006), Anambra State Government invested the sum of N100 million naira in the project. "Under our government (between 2006-2009), Anambra State, with the vision and belief in the positive impact of the project on the economy of the state and country, invested, directly and indirectly, the sum of N4.4 billion, which bolstered the confidence of other investors to invest in the venture that made its commissioning a reality.
"Whilst my predecessors never visited the site, I personally laid the foundation of the refinery. I have also visited the site severally since 2006, without any group or state interfering in its ownership as is now the case following the announcement of drilling of oil there. "It is also pertinent to note that till date, neither the group nor the states laying claim to the oil field have, directly or indirectly, invested a kobo in the project, while Anambra State and her people have invested several billions.
"Let me at this juncture state that Anambra State believes in good neighbourliness and will, in conformity with our nature, always admire and celebrate other states which may become producers of oil or any other mineral resource in the future. However, we believe that people's hard work, sacrifices and investment should be allowed to match their opportunities. Anambra State will remain a good neighbour and will continue to pray for oil to be discovered in other states so that Nigeria will emerge an economic giant in the comity of nations in the world," Obi concluded.
The scenerio is a replica of what happened between Akwa Ibom and neighbouring Cross River states since the latter lost ownership of 76 oil wells to the former in a major Supreme Court decision in July. Reports from the National Boundary Commission showed that the boundary between Anambra and Kogi states was last delineated in 1924 , during the colonial era.

Massive, the premier Artificial Intelligence -driven 3D animation software, was used by CIS Hollywood to fill football stadiums with virtual crowds for Universal Pictures' LEATHERHEADS.
Directed by George Clooney, and starring Clooney, Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski, the romantic comedy launched in the U.S. on April 4, 2008.
"Massive is solving a host of problems on several productions, where we need to round out sequences with anywhere from a few scattered groups to huge crowds of people. Achieving believable large-scale crowd sequences was extremely difficult both for filmmakers and effects artists before the availability of Massive," said Tom Smith, vfx Supervisor, CIS Hollywood.
A mainstay of the facility's vfx pipeline, Massive was employed on approximately 180 crowd shots throughout the film, filling three separate 1920s-era stadiums with a wide assortment of spectators. CIS Hollywood's Massive team developed its own agent for the project, programming the agent's brain with 150 separate movements, including clapping, standing, sitting, fist pumping, gesturing and more.
"The only thing we've ever used for crowds is Massive-there's nothing else that's nearly as comprehensive," said Eric Pender, Massive Lead, CIS Hollywood. "The thing we like the most about using Massive is its ability to mix separate motions and generate random behaviors. If you build your brain properly, you can play with a bunch of different people and watch some very cool things happen."
The LEATHERHEADS script called for an assortment of stadium spectators in three separate 1920s-era stadiums, some with crowds of 30,000. LEATHERHEADS is CIS Hollywood's second of three football-themed films in which Massive was used to fill stadiums, following the Warner Bros. film WE ARE MARSHALL and the upcoming Universal drama THE EXPRESS.
"All three films are set in different time periods, so it really gave us a chance to develop and improve upon our Massive pipeline," Pender said. "With each show, the quality of the agents improved and our pipeline became more robust."
CIS was the only vfx vendor for the film, completing more than 200 shots for the project. The Massive team built models using Autodesk Maya and Pixologic Z-Brush, and used Pixar's Renderman for rendering.
The team spent more than seven months on the project, both building the Massive agent and brain, and implementing the Massive characters into approximately 180 scenes. CIS has employed Massive on numerous other vfx projects for feature films, most recently on CIS Vancouver's (formerly Rainmaker Visual Effects) VANTAGE POINT from Columbia Pictures, and Paramount's BLADES OF GLORY.

Understanding the role of host genetics in resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection, and the effects of PRRS on pig health and related growth, are goals of the PRRS Host Genetics Consortium (PHGC).
The project uses a nursery pig model to assess pig resistance/susceptibility to primary PRRSV infection. To date, 6 groups of 200 crossbred pigs from high health farms were donated by commercial sources. After acclimation, the pigs were infected with PRRSV in a biosecure facility and followed for 42 days post infection (dpi). Blood samples were collected at 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 dpi for serum and whole blood RNA gene expression analyses; weekly weights were recorded for growth traits. All data have been entered into the PHGC relational database. Genomic DNAs from all PHGC1-6 pigs were prepared and genotyped with the Porcine SNP60 SNPchip.
Results have affirmed that all challenged pigs become PRRSV infected with peak viremia being observed between 4-21 dpi. Multivariate statistical analyses of viral load and weight data have identified PHGC pigs in different virus/weight categories. Sera are now being compared for factors involved in recovery from infection, including speed of response and levels of immune cytokines. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are underway to identify genes and chromosomal locations that identify PRRS resistant/susceptible pigs and pigs able to maintain growth while infected with PRRSV.
Overall, the PHGC project will enable researchers to discover and verify important genotypes and phenotypes that predict resistance/susceptibility to PRRSV infection. The availability of PHGC samples provides a unique opportunity to continue to develop deeper phenotypes on every PRRSV infected pig.

Home > China Destination > Hebei > Shijiazhuang > Shijiazhuang Attractions > Longxing Temple in Zhengding County
The Longxing Temple is a very well preserved and large scale Buddhist temple and is a very important location in China. The temple is ranked among the top ten most popular Buddhist temples located in China. This temple is spread over an area of 80,000 square meters.
Most of the structures in the temple originated during the Song Dynasty. The layout of the temple that can be currently seen is the Song Dynasty's legacy.
Highlights of the Longxing Temple
The history
The first monastery had been built in the Sui Dynasty in 586 AD. This monastery was originally named as the Longcang monastery. Longcangsi Stele is the oldest stelae located on the monastery's grounds and it dates back to the year the monastery had been founded. Most of it had been reconstructed in the Song Dynasty. It is an important cultural relic that is protected by the government. The construction of the temple began in Kaihuang's sixth year of reign during the Sui Dynasty. Emperors from various dynasties paid a visit to this temple, offering joss sticks to Buddha statues and leaving behind notes or poems on the temple's steles.
The main features
The monastery complex follows a common pattern and has a central axis. Along this axis are focal points and various buildings. The Hall of Heavenly Kings is the first building. The Main Hall is located at its opposite end. It is a wooden structure standing 33 meters tall and it has a Guan Yin's bronze statue. The statue had been built during the Song Dynasty's early years and is more than 20 meters tall. There is a stair case inside the hall which leads visitors around the bronze so it can be seen from every angle.
The rotating library
The Longxing Temple is also home to a unique wooden architecture piece dating back to the Song Dynasty. This is the Pavilion of Rotating Library, restored during the 20th century. This pavilion has rotating bookshelf that had been previously used for storing Buddhist sutras and holy texts. The rotating case repository had been made in 12th century. It is currently the oldest rotating repository to be found in the world right now.
The buildings
Longxing Temple has several buildings such as the Dabei Pavilioin, Jietan Altar, Mituo Hall, Moni Hall and Tianwang Hall. All of these are laid out evenly on the central axis. The Dabei Pavilion is the temple's key building and has a large and very popular statue of Dabei Buddha. This bronze statue is 21 meters high and has 42 arms. The Moni Hall is also very popular for its plan and structure which is much like a cross and the only one from the Song Dynasty in this shape. The colorful statue of Guanyin Buddha and the frescos inside this hall are invaluable.
The steles
The Longxing Temple has around 40 steles and the Longchang Stele is the most popular. The text's calligraphy on this stele has major importance in the Chinese calligraphy history. It is considered to be a masterpiece and reflects the transition in the calligraphy style that existed earlier during the other dynasties. The characters that can be seen on this stele are orderly, square and look very simple but beautiful.

Rainbows are seasonally appropriate for every season! They never go out of style.
I'd like to start the day every day with a bite of rainbows. How could you have a bad day when you wake up to this?
I'm not sure my legs could handle this kind of cute. They might just fall off.
What does rainbow fudge taste like, I wonder. Not like chocolate, I'm sure. It looks like a delicious stack of Starburst. Mmmm fruity.
Admit it, you've still got a few candy canes hanging around. You're feeling a little guilty because you know you shouldn't eat them but you don't want to save some old cheap candy until next year. Go ahead, garnish some pancakes with them. I won't tell.
I wish the little wings on this hat could help me commute to work in the mornings. Walking is so boring.
Anybody else got a sock monkey in a costume? Let's get a little gallery going!

text: Vet Wants 'Taps' to Play Nightly—Across Entire US Valparaiso, Ind., already on board, but looks like tough sell elsewhere By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted Apr 4, 2013 11:10 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (47) (Newser) – It's an ambitious plan, to say the least: An Indiana veteran wants "Taps" to be played every single night at dusk—across the entire US, reports the Indianapolis Star. Former Marine Bill Wellman has already convinced Valparaiso, Ind., to pipe the 24 notes over the 50 speakers it has mounted throughout downtown; it'll start doing so this week. And the nearby towns of Portage and Crown Point are considering it, too. Wellman isn't just motivated by patriotism, though. A subsidiary of the company the lifelong entrepreneur works for offers a digital timing box that typically handles tasks like turning on streetlights automatically; in this new application he dreamed up, "you just set the ZIP code and the local time and add an MP3 file and let it rip," explains the company's VP of technology. But it might be a tough sell: Some people contend that playing "Taps" every day would lessen its power, while others say its somber mood could be a bit of a buzzkill. "We might want 'Taps' reserved for special occasions, like Memorial Day or Veterans Day, and not every night," said one Indianapolis tourism official. Loyd Welte, retired Army veteran, plays "Taps" with his bugle at a commemoration ceremony for Veteran's Day on Nov. 11, 2007 in Kirksville, Mo.

Telling a good story through art has been a passion of mine unmatched by any hobby I could possess. So much so that I have dedicated my life to the development of better ways to tell the stories in my head. This drive, this unending hunger for something greater has inspired me to continue with my work despite the naysayers and bring these tales to the people who want them most. I long to meet individuals who share this same drive. I work with like minded people every day and I am looking forward to expanding my efforts and meeting more people like myself.

Nearly 1 in 6 children in the United States has a chronic illness ordisability. Prior research has shown that these children are at risk for psychologicaland emotional problems as a result of their chronic illnesses. In this article,Chernoff and colleagues report the results of a randomized, controlled trialof a 15-month family-based intervention to enhance the self-esteem of childrenwith chronic illness. The intervention had a substantial effect on improvingself-esteem, especially among children with low self-esteem at the beginningof the trial. The intervention may be generalizable to other children withchronic illnesses and can be delivered in a variety of settings.
See Article
For the last decade, guidelines have recommended daily use of controllermedications for children with persistent asthma. This survey of 1648 childrenwith asthma who were insured by Medicaid and enrolled in 1 of 5 managed careplans in Washington, Massachusetts, or California found that 59% had persistentasthma, half of whom reported no controller medication use. Having a regularprimary care physician, a written action plan, and scheduled follow-up visitswere each associated with a doubling in the likelihood of controller medicationuse. Implementation of these system changes can result in improved controlof asthma in children.
Some health plans have abandoned gatekeeping by primary care physiciansbecause it is not found to be cost-effective. In this study of a capitatedmultispecialty group, elimination of gatekeeping did not increase the numberof visits to specialists. Visits to any specialist by children with chronicconditions increased slightly. This study confirmed that replacing gatekeepingwith open access to all specialty physicians in a managed care organizationresulted in minimal changes on children's utilization of specialists.
Primary care physicians are paying increasing attention to children'smental health problems and the need for appropriate intervention and treatment.This sometimes includes referral to a mental health specialist. Rushton andcolleagues analyzed data from 4012 patients with identified psychosocial problemswho had been followed in the Child Behavior Study. One in 6 children was referredto a mental health specialist at their initial visit, although fewer thantwo thirds of these children actually saw a specialist in the subsequent 6months.

One of the saving graces of the polar vortex was that it came and went in a matter of two or three days. When cold settles in for a longer period of time, conditions get even worse.

A casting pour at a prop shop foundry is a brief but dramatic event. Workers appear otherworldly in their protective gear. The crucible glows red hot. Escaping gases flare up an intense yellow, creating plenty of smoke and odor.
Is there a better place to cruise this summer than to an island anchorage? Enjoy the seven isles we've chosen, along with this spectacular view of Monhegan from Manana Island.
The 160-foot cliffs of Monhegan Island rise out of the Atlantic, forming an imposing turning point for southern New England boaters transiting the Gulf of Maine to Penobscot Bay. Twelve miles off the mainland, this starkly beautiful granite outpost is more than a GPS waypoint. Its isolated fishing community is a vanishing slice of Maine coastal life.
Perched defiantly on Deer Isle's southern bluff, Stonington looks to the sea for its sustenance. Its 1,100 close-knit residents, who live 40 miles from malls and major services, are as rock-hard as the granite they once excavated from their surroundings.

Chestertown, MD Pet-Friendly Lodging at our Bed and Breakfast Inn
We are happy to have your four-legged companion as our guest in The Apartment in Camellia Cottage. The Brampton is located 1 1/2 miles from the center of town on 20 acres and is an ideal place to take your pet for a walk. There are paths, woods, fields and a pond. Please note: we do not have a fenced in area but if your dog is well trained and listens to your commands you could bring a Frisbee or ball to play fetch. The meadow is a favorite playground for furry friends.
Homemade dog biscuits, freshly prepared by our pastry chef will be waiting for visiting pets! We provide you with a water bowl, towels and pet blankets to cover the chairs in case "Honey" wants to be close to you. I totally understand, our "Muffy" would not be happy if she couldn't join me on the sofa either! Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the manor house and for that reason we will be happy to deliver breakfast to you in the morning. It's an extra perk.
During the warmer months several restaurants in Chestertown offer "al fresco" dining where you can take your dog with you. Please bring a crate if you prefer to leave your pet unattended in the apartment.
Please note there is a pet fee of $20 per day. $40 per day for two dogs.
We look forward to seeing both you and your pet in our romantic Maryland bed and breakfast.

So DD's last feed is @ 7pm (bottle of BM), then bath and then I nurse her as much as she still wants (usually under 10 min) and down to sleep b/t 8-830. She starts fussing a bit in her sleep around 230am and I give her a paci and she stops. She starts fussing again around 330 or 4 (today was 445) but still asleep and I figure that it's been awhile and I should feed her. But here's the thing, she only spends at most 15 min on the breast. Today it was about 7 min. And falls into deep sleep. I stroke her cheek and try to get her to relatch but nope. And I dont want to wake her up fully. Then next feed is at 8 am. I just dont understand why she eats so little - ive heard that MOTN babies can eat pretty quickly bc supply is highest, but i am unsure. Should I wait for her to completely wake up, should i ignore the fussing and see if she can wait for a feed longer. I am worried of creating a snacking or waking habit.
How long does LO nurse at night?

my kid would park herself on my boob nonstop if she could... and she is the laziest eater ever. except at nigh, if she wakes up(rarely) she eats and is done in 10min, and i'm empty.

If they never used to wake at night and they are now, maybe a growth spurt?
That's what i dont understand - during the day my DD can just be hanging on my boob for 40 min. So i am surprised that she could actually get a decent feeding at night half asleep in 10 min. Ok glad to hear others have the same thing!

Yeah, my LO is usually less time on the boob at night. Sometimes less than 10 minutes.
Sara, my LO was a good sleeper too, would go down at 10 up at 2-3am then, 6-7. But these last few days he's been up every1-3hrs. I hope it's just a phase and they go back to good sleeping.
10 minutes tops. If she hasn't drifted off to deep sleep after I burp her, I'll offer her the other side, but she rarely takes it. She usually just falls right off the boob and goes back to sleep for another 4 hours or so.

Before bed I let LO nurse as long as he wants, anywhere from 15-60 minutes. He eats but then he just sort of comfort nurses, which is fine since this is the only time of day he does it. I put him down and he'll sleep for anywhere from 5-8 hours. He wakes and eats, usually in between 5-7am and is usually done in 10 minutes. Then I put him back down and he sleeps for another few hours. Lately he's been consistently sleeping from 11pm - 8am with one night feeding, usually around 5. I think that if they're hungry then they'll keep eating, if not then don't push it.

The Semashi Kingdom is a small human territory that shares an island with Faria. The two share a peaceful and highly symbiotic relationship. Semash started out as a small upstart invasion by an opportunistic invader during the Farian Rebellion. AT first the tradiitional Elves fought with the callanian invaders, but after a short period of expansion the new nation ceaced all conflict with the traditional elves, and maintianed a peacful relationship, until thirty years later, they joined forces with Lamia and wiped Raf Maliksh's rebellion from Faria.

Top Ten Video Game CharactersI only have a few that really matter to me. The rest are just fill ins.
The Top TenXW
Italian, Obsessed with mushrooms, wears a red hat, wears a pre-schooler uniform, saves princesses every time, has a similar, but green partner, who is he? HE IS of course MARIO! - IGN
A preschooler uniform? They're called overalls, and plenty of people wear them! - PeterG99
Who doesn't love the Italian plumber that is obsessed with mushrooms. - vidirg
Snake is not good, vote for Mario, he is the best.
Mario is the best in everything.
He should be number one.
Mario s US is the best, Mario forever.
He is better than Lara Croft.
Yay Mario a number 1!V190 Comments
Well, well, well. This is certainly a surprise. I honestly thought that Link would be top. Aside from the obvious fact that The Legend of Zelda is undoubtedly the greatest game of all time, let me just tell you why. First, Link is portrayed differently through each of the games. Whatever you like, be it the 16-bit Link with his hat bobbing in the wind, the gorgeously stylised Link from The Wind Waker, or the awesome realistic Link from Twilight Princess there is a Link for everybody. Secondly, unlike thug Mario jumping on people's heads, Link is a true Hero. He isn't big or strong, but he is truly courageous, and can think in the direst of situations to solve problems, and fool his enemies. A truly rare personality.
Lastly, the greatest thing about Link is this. He never speaks, but he can do anything. No matter what is thrown at him, he will always rise to the challenge, and will succeed. Link is defined by his actions. Your actions. The reason Link is the greatest gaming ...more
Link is a unique and passionate character. He may not say a single word, but you can still understand his thoughts, emotions and feelings by his facial expressions. He's like a novel; deep, thoughtful and a true hero.
These r all good video game people and have got them self a one way ticket to the video game hall of fame from Mario to Lara Croft this web page has got them all ya Sonic and Master Chief have found a way into r harts but alien lasers and speed is not going to cut in the 3 most honorable characters here r #3 Snake y because unlike some people he can blind in with shadows I mean were not looking at his newer games but if you look at his older games Snake was a work of art! #2 Master Chief through all the halo games 1-4 this one man army has been blowing the face off of alien scum he's got the skills to revenge the earth from floating in the blackness of space to his first mission on Reach Master Chief has kicked alien tail.#1 Link someone who never backs out of a fight he swings his sword like a paint brush painting the micro scopic blood of evil plants pigs bats and more on the ground he has a epic ride a horse name epona and can do almost anything with the mask in his giant pocket ...more
His sword can kill Mario like, *stab* *stab*!V99 Comments
Mario may have saved the video game industry and to that I applaud him, because without him there would be no Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic burst onto the scene in 1991 with Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis and hasn't quite gone yet. In his early years he was popular around the globe for his speedy platforming, something most games couldn't provide at the time. While his venture in 3D hasn't gone as smoothly as he would have liked, his legacy lives on and with the arrival of Sonic Colours and Generations as well as Sonic 4, people are starting to realise that the Blue Blur is finally back!
Truly the greatest. He's so cool and has simple yet awesome abilities. He has nearly unlimited bravery and a strong heart, he's a true hero.
Idiots even with your gaming, huh? You are funny. The greatest speed, the sense of duty he has, his cool grin and the trademark thumbs up! The definition of cool. The definition of hero. Plus he's the first character to have a company carrying his name (Sonic Team) and is a legend. Happy 18th birthday, Sonic! He was voted as the greatest character of all times in the video game festival in England. Learn why. And I don't wanna see that stuff again in lists! Never! And certainly not the omission of Shadow, Amy, Knuckles and Silver. Get out of here. - TheNextGreatestRockStar
He's way past coolV99 Comments
1) Is always cool and collected, never lets anything go to his head,
2) Never loud mouths and makes himself look like an ahole
3) Not an emo, like cloud,
Definitely deserves to be #1, Though everybody above him is good to, the good thing is that kratos is below him, I can not stand people talking about how great a guy is that dies in every game.
Enough with past Master Chief is one of the biggest badasses in the gaming world, Although I respect Mario as one the Characters who paved the way, with all due respect he's old news.
Master Chief redefined the term one-man army. Let's see Lara Croft or Mario save the universe single-handedly and revamp an entire video game genre. Oh that's right they can't. Master Chief should be #1
I would give Super Mario Galaxy 4/10 stars, Super Mario Galaxy 2 7/10 stars, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 7/10 stars, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time 9/10 stars, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3/10 stars, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team 2/10 stars and Super Mario RPG 10/10 stars.
I would give all Halo games (and Master Chief himself) 9/10 stars.
He is awesome!V70 Comments
Master chief is by far my favorite character, but Kirby simply needs to be higher on this list. Don't let his looks fool you, Kirby is a stone cold murderer who will not let anyone get in the way of his quest. Look at Kirby Squeak Squad. He takes out countless innocent victims, defeats Meta Knight, and even Dark Nebula (AKA Satan), all for a slice of cake. Wow. What a hard-butt. Imagine when the fate of the universe is at stake. Kirby is a hero like no other.
Best CHARACTER IN GAMING HISTORY! Why? STOOPID QUESTION 1:HE'S ADORABLE 2:HE'S EPIC 3:ADDICTING GAMES ( NOT TO MENTION ZERO TWO THE ADORABLE EPICEST AWESOMEST BUTT KICKING BOSS IN THE UNIVERSES OF THE LIVING! ) IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN 28 SECONDS WELL THIS IS SPARTA I TELL YOU SPARTA! Done
By far the best character ever invented. Kirby games are like mario games, but actually make sense. And that loser Ash Ketchum isn't even in any video games. If you are talking Kanto, he's RED, not "Ash".
Kirby is #1 kratos#2V71 Comments
Snake is definitely one of the manliest characters out there. He's saved the world on multiple occasions and almost commits suicide when he realizes his existence could pose a threat to humanity. So please, stop voting for that neanderthal Kratos and vote for a real man.
Snake screams badass! He is just badass in every way! He got that deep raspy voice that just screams rugged and tough, he is charismastic, he has great courage, and he has strong determination and he will do whatever it takes to make sure the world and its inhabitants are in safe hands! He sacrifices so much for the betterment of the world! Truly a noble, brave, and tough-ass character!
"Killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it"- Solid Snake.
Snake is the bestV37 Comments
Brilliant character, combined with the odd bit of humour! He needs to be in the top 10. Unfortunately Altair is before him, because Ezio is funnier, epicer, deadlier and downright entertaining!
Ezio's story is more interesting than any of these characters in the top ten. Mario's story is about fighting a giant turtle on steroids, links is about saving a princess (cliché), Sonics is about running or something? Master Chiefs story is really good, but it still can't compare to the depth and emotion of Ezios. I don't even know what a Solid Snake is, and Lara Croft is just known for being the girl on Tomb Raider. The thing that sets Ezio apart from these other characters, is the pain that he feels throughout his journey. His emotions in Florence when he witnesses his father and two brothers are hung are unmatched with the other characters. Then the transformation from cunning teenager to master Assassin is one that I'll personally never forget. Ezio Auditore the Firenze is without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest video game character in video game history.
It's not fair to compare this character with others in this list, Ezio and Altair are more than main game character they are completely alive and sensible...
His Italian accent, story, character development, emotions, depth, evolution from a brash teenager to Master Assassin, speech, quotes, personality, combat sense etc. Everything is so damn perfect! Ezio is so iconic and motivational. Requiescat in pace, Maestro Ezio...V59 Comments
She's like Master Chief, except that she extinguished two breeds of dangerous predators, she blew up an entire planet, she was able to sneak into the mother ship of the space pirates only with a paralyzer (without her armor) and she's just so cool. She decided to not give a damn about the Space Federation sending reinforcements and to blow up the whole place she was in because there was a major threat inside. She was about to sacrifice herself.
Come on it's samus she defeat a entire planet alone, she made think a entire generation that she was a men nly to show that it is a woman
If you are sexist towards Samus, then you would die. Go Samus! I'm surprised Rosalina is so low on the list though.
She kicks serious ass. I mean, seriously, she's better than L ara Croft will ever be. She should be number one! 1#! SAMUS ARAN RULES!
Probably the bravest and most dangerous female protagonist ever. She eliminates extremely dangerous species, ends wars and restores peace to the entire war-torn Galaxy. And she's not a pure human, either, making her stronger and very fit.V18 Comments
I am something of a Final Fantasy veteran, myself, but I've never really met another protagonist I've liked as much as Cloud Strife. I really connected with Cloud. I felt and shared his pain. All the time, I see people on the internet calling him "emo" or otherwise undeserving of the mantle of hero. He was never happy in life, sure, but if you went through what he did, you'd know better.
He starts out arrogant and aloof, only really trying to save the world for the sake of a profit. As the game progressed, you really find out just how screwed up this guy is. To wit, this guy is a psych ward that walks on two legs. There's the obvious multiple identity disorder sure, but as I played further into the game, I picked up hints of post-traumatic stress disorder, some slight bipolarity, and (in the follow-up film especially), depression that he's been stewing in since he was sixteen or so years old. And I felt sorry for him. If Square wishes to continue that Compilation of FFVII, I wish ...more
EPIC! #1 should be him, Vincent or Sephiroth. - CyraxQC
He certainly has a lot more depth and character than some of the other characters on this list (Master Chief, Mario... I'm looking at you)
Buster sword and a pineapple instead of hair...V12 Comments
Shadow the most badass and the baddest boy in the sonic series he's cool, has guns, can reach up to sonics speed and has powerful chaos powers like chaos spear, chaos rift, chaos blast and chaos control
Come on! Shadow is by far the best sonic character. Even though his own game was not so good but I can overthink that and I think Shadow should be in the top 15. His speed is enough to match sonic. His abilities are epic. He even has an epic theme song! Shadow is awesome! He rules!
Shadow is so amazing I don't see why he is not higher I mean he even has his own gameand it has really good graphics and is very fun
Shadow is the bestV13 Comments
The Newcomers
The Contenders
Luigi is nice and generous and has a heart and daisy helps him become better than mario. Luigi is very caring I hope he has a kid one day and he saved peach from Peasly! Yes he risked him to help Peach. Superstar saga should give him credit and peach should bake him a cake he saved her!
He walks on water, fights against his fears, slows down time, is able to find a hot-air balloon in the Mushroom Kingdom (seriously, where did he take them from? ) and many other awesome stuff. And he never gets attention. He's like Link from the Faces of Evil! ("I saved you from Ganon! " "You did not...")
He he strongest thing alive!V28 Comments
Kratos is by far the coolest most awesome homicidal maniac of all time I mean how can Mario or Lara Croft compare, he killed a whole pantheon of Greek gods, doesn't get more badass
All hail kratos, the most badass character in gaming history!
What KRATOS SHOULD BE number 1 HE KILLED ALL GODS
Yea he should be # 1V42 Comments
As cute as Kirby, Pikachu, and Sackboy combined. This guy gets to you every time.
Yoshi is not just the best video game character. He is just the best character from anything! He has the likable personality of Mario and Luigi, he is the cutest video game character, and he is the coolest. He save's crying babies and islands everyday. He also is relatable because he like's to eat like everybody. He isn't afraid to have a different body size and he doesn't follow any anorexic fads.
Yoshi is my favorite Nintendo character. Yoshi's are really cute and they can fly and eat stuff to help you. Baby yoshis can do a bunch of awesome stuff too. Me and my cousins used to often fight about who gets the yoshi if there is only one or who gets the pink yoshi. Yoshi is an awesome character and like I said before my favorite character in Nintendo. - Imreallyboredrightnow
Coolest fake person ever!V22 Comments
What could be more righteous than a badass half- demon that has fire and lightning
swords which he slays monsters with, and probably listens to Slayer?
I also love Jak(Jak and Daxter) and Prince of Persia (Sands of Time, Warrior within,
Two Thrones) - Crash
How the hell is Crash Bandicoot and Mario above Dante? I mean come on, what could be
more righteous than a badass half-demon that slices monsters and bloody puppets in
half with his sword, has fire and lightning swords and probably listens to Slayer? - Crash
Hail Dante! Dante could kick these other guy's a$$es!

Mario Can Never Be Better Than DanteV18 Comments
Amazing game character ever to play! I have played all the series of Lara Croft games and even completed them and I believe its the best game ever made all this time. Once we play we would never regret!
The guy who says Mario is better than Lara Croft, doesn't know what a real video game character is. Mario is bland, old, and boring. Lara Croft, on the other hand, is AWESOME! She can fight, climb, swim, flip, and do all kinds of things. Top THAT, Mario. She also has an awesome, smart, badass personality. She has the best of the best gear, too. Doe's Mario have guns, a grapple hook, and a motorcycle? I don't think so. Just because Mario is older, doesn't mean he's better.
Let's face it guys, Lara Croft is better than Mario. Like I said, just because he's older, IT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S BETTER. Older and better are two different things. Lara Croft is the best.
Lara Croft is a stereotypical, sexist, bland video game character and Mario is better. I can prove that with what you just said.
'She can fight, climb, swim, flip' Mario can do all of those things. Have you played any of the games?! Mario doesn't have to have a badass personality. He's more cheery and a more likable character, who wants emotionless supposed-to-be-perfect characters? Does Mario have guns, a grapple hook, and a motorcycle? Who the hell cares? He has a funny brother, a water nozzle, a beautiful mustache, and he can hit blocks with his head.
Face it, just because Lara is badass or sexy doesn't mean Mario is better, and then again, who the hell cares in Mario is older?! Plus, Lara seems more like a character created by somebody for sex appeal - oh wait, she is. Mario is more creative too. I mean, a guy with overalls, a mustache, a red shirt, white gloves, brown pants, and a red cap is way cooler than a woman with brown shorts, a light blue tank top, a ...more
Person who says Mario is old, you are wrong. Mario CAN fight, climb, swim, and flip! Can Lara Croft stomp? I'm actually not really sure. Mario can also hop, ride Yoshi, throw fire balls, freeze stuff, kick Baby Yoshi, ride a Mario Kart, and much more! Mario is so much more BETTER. - VideoGameTiger
All right, she is no where near as good as Mario or Link. Mario saved the industry, and Link introduced saving the game. Stop saying that. She is still a good character though.V22 Comments
Pac-Man was so cute & funny in Pac-Man World. Chris Brown wold be a great voice for Pac-Man, especially if Pac-Man has his Pac-Man World/Mario Kart Arcade GP/Super Smash Bros. 4 design. He would be a great partner towards Princess Daisy, NOT the bossy & stupid Princess Peach.

Pikachu is one of the most famous characters. He's the star of more products than sonic will ever be. By the way, pikachu is a he, his tail isn't in the shape of a heart.
What the heck Pikachu is the best video game character by far... He should be number one I tell you.
How dare you not put my Pikachu on top 3 at least! This Pokemon is the most famous and recognizable on the Pokemon! I love Pokémon! You guys are idiots!

Ellie taught me how to be brave. She taught me that no matter how miserable our life's are, there is always something that keeps us going. Something to fight for. Something that's worth for living. For me she is this one character that I care about. Ellie was a girl that never asked for anything. Even though she was the girl that deserved everything.
Not even words can describe how awesome Ellie is. She is probably my favourite fictional character of all time. Ellie is brave beyond everything, determined, funny, sarcastic, and strangely optimistic, even though she basically lives through hell. It is physically impossible to play the whole game and not completely love Ellie with all your heart by the end of it. Every single one of her lines are so quotable. Not to mention, all this and she's only fourteen!
The definition of a teenage badass, and immune to zombies! I'm 14, and if someone wanted to take me over halfway across the country on foot during a zombie apocalypse with a complete stranger, I'd be like "HELL NO! " But Ellie just went with it. That girl deserves everything. Not to mention she had all the funny lines.
Well when your a fourteen year old girl in the best zombie video game ever your awesomeV19 Comments

Pedro de la Rosa's first day of testing in a 2014-spec F1 car was cut short thanks to a water leak on his Ferrari F14 T car.
The Spaniard completed 49 laps in total, finishing tenth on the timesheets, but was encouraged by the work being completed before the problem sprung up.
"Yes, it was all going fantastically well," de la Rosa explained. "We had a very good morning and then in the afternoon we had a water leak in the cooling system so we had to call it a day."
The team is yet to confirm the exact cause of the problem. "I don't know really," he said. "It's something we were not expecting that just cut our day a bit short."
A big problem for Ferrari over the past few years has been the correlation between their off-track simulations and the results that they get on-track. However, de la Rosa was pleased that the problems with the F14 T were not new to him, which should allow the team to find some answers to the problems.
"Well I think we know what are the strengths and weaknesses," he said. "A good point really is that they correlate with the simulator. We know where we are and what we have to improve."
Jules Bianchi will get behind the wheel of the F14 T tomorrow, deputising for the rested Kimi Raikkonen following the Finn's 47g shunt on the first lap of the British Grand Prix.

Check out the BU-353 sold by MP3Car.com. It's externally-mountable and has a USB interface. Or did you want one that can be remotely located with a wireless connection?
Need some suggestions on a GPS reciever and an FM tuner.
I have been looking at the HQCT,
Also the GPS reciever, it would need to be USB and have an external antenna input. The only ones I can find are the OEM ones, or a Bluetooth one with a USB aswell?
Any Ideas? Cheers!
Check out the BU-353 sold by MP3Car.com. It's externally-mountable and has a USB interface. Or did you want one that can be remotely located with a wireless connection?
If just enough is really good, then too much ought to be perfect.
2006 Scion xB with in-dash Atom & Lilliput 889GL -- Worklog at http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/work...res-links.html
I ideally wanted one that I could plug in an antenna, I was going to get one of those all in one antennas, so I don't have all of these antennas and things everywhere.
The problem with the Bluetooth GPS is that you have to turn it on and off separately all the time, and you have to leave it sitting on your dash. I just want something that just comes on and off with the car, and something that you don't see.
fair enough. looks like you are stuck with a usb one then.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story
yea usb is the best choice that you can get. but then you could cut the usb leads from the wire and then rewire them to any of the electronic things that turn on with the car. but then remember to cut the wires that go inside your pc. as far as i can remember, red and black are the positive and negative and the white and green are data cables. not sure of the polarities of red and black wires though. but i think you could use the bluetooth one in the same way. just solder wires inside so it turns itself on and off with the car
I ended up buying a BU-353. I think I will stick it on the rear parcel shelf. Shouldn't stick out too much there.
Well I've been busy doing some more work. Feel free to ask any questions. I won't bite.
I was inspired by this article written by turbocad6
Click on image(s) to enlarge.
This was the closest stuff I could find in Australia to that dynatron stuff turbocad6 used. It seemed to do the job okay. It cost me about AUD $10. I will see how it goes, if it is no good I will have to import some dynatron and start again.
I masked up my dash piece so I know where the climate control unit is and so it does not foul the screen when I mould it in.
I also masked up the screen bezel. The unmasked bit is where I had to chop it off.
I can't believe I butchered a $600 screen.
I used some hot melt glue to temporarily hold the screen bezel in place so it doesn't move while the plasti-bond sets.
I applied the plasti-bond with an old butter knife. Doesn't look to good at the moment, but not to worry it will be sanded down later.
Just a quick sand with some fairly rough paper. It is much quicker to use a rough paper at the start. I filled in the low spots with some more plasti-bond. It was much easier to get it smooth the second time around.
I used an off-cut of some PCB I had laying around, with some double-sided tape to secure the LCD in place. I also filled in the void on the rear of the dash piece with some plasti-bond so I could tap a screw in there without it coming through the face. I also cut some grooves in the PCB to clear the cables from the screen.
I used some more double sided tape and cable ties to hold in the rest of the boards. I think I will fab up a cover for this later.
View of the screen moulded in. Ahhh damn finger prints.
View from the back showing the mounted boards.
The moment of truth..... Yes, It still works believe it or not!
I am going to mount my GPS in the 3rd brake light housing under the back window. That's the benifit of having a boot spoiler with a brake light in it.

Invest in home features with short payback period
Invest in home features with short payback period
Mary Umberger
Inman News
Architect Peter Pfeiffer has no patience for "eco bling."
That's his term for the proliferation in the marketplace of pricey devices that promise consumers a greener "footprint" for their homes. Yes, he says, these goodies might have energy-savings potential, but many of them require dipping deep into one's wallet and could take years to pay for themselves.
For homeowners who are building or doing major remodeling, he suggests, instead, that good design and planning can go a long way toward controlling energy consumption.
Pfeiffer is a prominent architect in Austin, Texas, a city that has become known as the "green homebuilding capital of America" for its conservation-minded building code and a widespread environmental consciousness.
His resume suggests that he knows a thing or two about the topic. In 2006, for instance, he was named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects for his commitment to mainstreaming green building in North America.
The National Association of Home Builders honored him as its Green Advocate of the Year in 2003. In 2006, Residential Architect magazine cited him as one of the 10 most influential residential architects of the past decade.
But he eschews archi-speak.
"You just don't waste stuff, that's what green building is all about," said Pfeiffer, who recently addressed the annual conference of the National Association of Real Estate Editors in Austin.
He said his long involvement with conservation-minded building has convinced him that well-meaning homeowners make it harder (and more expensive) than it has to be. His own approach to green building, he said, is "very pragmatic."
Grand strokes can be intimidating, he said. And too expensive.
"People should spend cash on basics like insulation and thermostats," he said.
Five things Pfeiffer says consumers ought to know about "going green":
1. In new kitchens, go light on the countertops -- there will be an immediate payback, he said.
"Light-colored countertops do a lot to save the environment," he said. They reflect light upward, thus reducing lighting costs for the room. Simple as that, he said.
2. Zone your heating and cooling systems, he said. "The bottom line in green building is, 'don't use power,' " he said. "The next level is to use power efficiently."
And in a two-story home, consumers tend to spend their days downstairs, their nights upstairs: It's wasteful to heat and cool the whole house to the same levels simultaneously.
3. Pfeiffer knows that solar panels and tankless water heaters are widely touted for their resource-conserving abilities, but he's not particularly a fan. One problem, he said, is initial investment for both can be significant, with a years-long payback period.

Khan wanted the Genesis torpedo for unspecified reasons.
Khan wanted the Genesis Device because he knew it would make him immensely powerful. But his primary motivation, the thing that
mattered to him, was revenge against Kirk. That's why he kept chasing the
after acquiring the Device instead of hightailing it out of Dodge.
Nero lost his planet and went on a tirade against the Federation in an alternate timeline set 125 years in the past of the one he came from. Vulcan and Earth had nothing to do with Romulus blowing up in the Prime future but he attacks them anyway for his own narrow minded reasons.
And while his reasoning is irrational, his motivations at least make sense: He believes that Spock and the Federation could have stopped the Hobus supernova sooner and therefore blames them for a "sin of omission" by allowing Romulus to burn.
I agree that this is a dramatic failing of ST09. But to be fair, there's nothing in ST09 to indicate that he
dispatch some sort of warning to the Romulan government, either.
Shinzon was the legitimate Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire.
The "legitimate" Praetor? DSN's "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" established that Praetors of the Romulan Star Empire assume office only after being confirmed by the Romulan Senate's Continuing Committee. Shinzon, on the other hand, assassinated the entire Senate and then appointed himself Praetor. He led a coup d'etat, not an election campaign. He was about as "legitimate" as
Augusto Pinochet
Idi Amin
You could argue he was merely a figure head and his Romulan collaborators intended to betray him but that's only speculation.
No, it's not speculation. The scene towards the end of the film where the Romulan Imperial Fleet admirals are talking to him make it very clear that they supported him because he promised to take a more aggressive stance against the Federation but that he actually had no interest in appeasing them. They were threatening to depose him if he didn't placate them.
And that's the issue -- he supposedly doesn't actually support the Romulan admirals' agenda, and he's supposedly obsessed with Picard, but we never get the sense of why he's obsessed with taking down Earth. Picard, that sort of makes sense -- resenting that someone with identical genes had so much privilege when he did not. And the need to harvest Picard's blood or whatever.
But the idea that Shinzon, who openly displays contempt for Romulans constantly throughout the film, who goes to the trouble of leading a Reman nationalist movement against Romulan control, would turn genocidal against anyone other than the Romulans? It's just dramatically arbitrary. It's the equivalent of doing a story where Spartacus decides he'd rather destroy Carthage.
you don't think the idea of Shinzon accomplishing the defeat of the Federation, something the Romulans couldn't on their own appealed to him?
His thought process could have been "I, a discarded clone sent to die accomplished something that actual Romulans never could."
Again, it's the reasoning of a psychopath, but it's not arbitrary.

what was the scariest moment of ur life?
Quoting sweetieiv:
My 2yr old and i where walking and holding hands when suddenly my son let go of my hand and ran towards the main intersection which was busy and at 50mph speed limit! I ran after him but i couldn't catch him. A lady passing by saw him and grabbed him. He was only seconds away from being ran over by a truck. I hugged him and cried so much. I felt my whole body shaking and it was horrible. Sometimes i still have nightmares about it.
Quoting SweetMama823:
Having my son during a hurricane at 2 months early having an emergency csection,with my husband home with our kids, lights going off and on, leaks in roof not knowing if he was gonna survive them boom, they put me completey to sleep.
Walking in to find my son not breathing and cold at just shy of 3 months. It has been 20 months since he passed away.
WHen my son was a month old he had RSV and had to be rushed to the hospital b/c his airways were closing and his face had started to turn blue. He had to be sedated and put on a breathing machine for a week. If we had gotten him to the hospital even just a few minutes later than we did, we prolly would have lost him. Worst moment of my life!

Saltlick man accused of sexually assaulting girl over more than 2 years
A Fayette County man was arrested on Monday on charges of sexually assaulting a girl over a 2 1⁄2-year period at various locations in Westmoreland County.
Kenneth J. Miller, 39, of 452 Back Creek Road, Saltlick was arraigned before Norvelt District Judge Roger Eckels on charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and statutory sexual assault filed by state police in Greensburg.
Miller was ordered held in the Westmoreland County Prison after failing to post a $100,000 bond set by Eckels.
According to state police Trooper James McKenzie, the assaults began in Donegal Township in June 2007 and continued until 2010. The girl told police that Miller assaulted her at least once a week during the period. She told police the assaults began when she was 10 years old.
In an interview with police last week, Miller allegedly admitted to assaulting the victim, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed by McKenzie.
Miller's preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. March 28 before Eckels.

I was on 4.4.2 and wanted to update to 4.4.3. Since I installed Xposed and the OTA package wouldn't install even after I uninstalled the framework, I opted for the factory image. I used the flash_all script that came with the image file and now my phone is stuck at the dancing colors.
Now I think I can probably get the phone to work again is I do a factory reset but I don't want to lose the file on the internal sdcard.
Is there anyway to backup the files on the internal storage?
I've tried ADB but it doesn't list my device either in bootloader or with the phone off or stuck at the dancing colors.
ADB does list my device in recovery mode with the "apply update from ADB" option, but I can't do a adb pull from there. It says:
error: closed.
Any idea?
OR a method to solve the soft-brick situation without wipe the files on /sdcard would work as well.
Thank you.
