| CaughtInAFantasy chapter 1 . 9/1/2012
Loved this so much!
| Weissfreya chapter 1 . 8/11/2012
Thank you so much for writing something so beautiful...
I always wanted to read a different USAGI who isnt trap from her past. i like mamoru - but - but - how often had he been kidnapped, played with and how many times had he broken usagi's heart?
i like this story so much... its a perfect ending for the anime... i always adore seiya/usagi... for i feel that they are more suited to each other.
in that short season - seiya had mind blown us all - he had given in that small season how much he can protect, love and adore usagi... not bound by the past... but for the future...
thank you so much
| Ryssh chapter 1 . 1/10/2012
If only there was really a real Naoko Takeuchi Fan Site in which we could really reach her & have her read our is brilliant...wouldn't it be great if your imagination could lead to a sailormoon sequel in which seiya came back & this time Usagi chose had a perfect ending it wuold be great if you write what happens next about usagi and seiya'S life together & what became of everything usagi left on IT UP!:)
| moviefan-92 chapter 1 . 11/3/2011
The way the series should end. Beautifully written. It's strange, but when i first saw season 5, I didn't like Seiya at all, but about a week after finishing the series, I took a look back at things and just fell in love with the Seiya/Usagi pairing. Her love for Mamoru is mostly based on her past life's emotions rather than her own, and she's sort of bound to him by destiny rather than by choice. Now with Seiya, they fell in love with each other naturally and on their own without any outside influences, making their love seem more real and pure. If Chibusa would still be born with Seiya as her father instead, then I call it a perfect romance.
Anyway, great story. I loved it.
| Ms. Peka2010 chapter 1 . 4/16/2011
Well written story. I always dreamed that Usagi and Seiya ended together and with a family. Thanks for writing such a beautiful fic.
| Midnight Fearie chapter 1 . 3/24/2011
This is how the wedding should have happened! I mean, seriously, so much better than her marrying Mamoru! It's not even right that this isn't what really happened! This is perfect, a dream, and I loved everything about it! Thank you for writing this! Had the series really ended this way, I would have loved it so much more. Seiya and Usagi are meant to be together, and Mamoru and the future she keeps being told she has to have are keeping that from happening! Destiny may be written in stone, but powerful waves can wash away the writing.
Thank you so much for writing this, it was just amazing and I love it!
| yume girl 91 chapter 1 . 11/2/2010
Lovely! :D
| Yume-no-Ryuusei chapter 1 . 3/30/2010
absolutely BEAUTIFUL Story, i'm disappointed I didn't find it til now!
| MsAngelAdorer chapter 1 . 3/2/2010
That was...absolutely amazing. No other way to describe it. Excellent work. One of my favorite stories for this pairing ever!
| Angel Taisha chapter 1 . 10/9/2009

text: I've taken to just mixing less stabilizer and hoping for the best, increasing agitation time at the end of the process. I know from using Ilford Wetting Agent in a B&W process that just a tiny amount of that stuff will foam / suds up like crazy. My experience with the Kodak & Tetenal stabilizers for C-41 & E-6 processes indicates that those chemicals don't suds up as much, but I still tend on the side of caution and underuse rather than overuse the stabilizer... especially since I'm doing everything one-shot with the Rollei kit, and don't particularly like re-using chemistry unless it's replenished somehow.

I have a NAS drive and have set up media sharing on it to stream vids to my xbox. My xbox sees the NAS fine, and can see my video folders, but when i open the folders it is telling me no videos found.
Strangely before i had the NAS drive i used to stream them from my PCs HD using WMP Media Sharing and it worked fine.
I can view photos from my NAS drive so i dont think its to do with the EXT3 format.
Anyone have any idea why the 360 wont see the divx files on the drive?

I'm not sure if this answers your questions but here is what I'm dealing with. I just set up a ReadyNasDuo in my house. The 360 would not find any of the video files I had. I originally put them in the Video folder that was on my nas. I then moved them into another folder called Vids and I can now see them???? I'm not sure why this is. The folder is in the same media directory on my nas. I found this out by just taking certain folders inside the main Video folder and coping them to the main directory. They would then show up.
It does seem to take FOREVER to update the folders. Hopefully this helps you too. If I come up with any better explanations I'll post it.

All that changed, however, when an African friend asked me to visit her children who were living with her mother back home in Rwanda. My photography took on a whole new dimension. These would be the first images my friend would see of her children after a nearly two-year separation. I needed to capture these girls in their very essence. These weren't just images to grab off a shot list—this was a history to document with the hope for a reunion in the distant future.
I rented lenses, packed my gear and made the 18-hour plane ride, not sure what to expect. My bags were packed with all kinds of clothing and much-needed supplies for the girls, but when I arrived, I was surprised to learn my camera was truly the only thing that mattered. Every single person I met, including the girls, wanted their picture taken. Strangers, relatives, neighbors—it didn't matter. The camera was the thing, and there was no point in trying to maintain professional distance. Over and over again, I met people who were eager to be seen. I soon realized it was my job to bear witness, and not only to the images and scenes that were meaningful to me. My subjects had their own agenda, and when I was willing to follow, I was rewarded with images and emotions my lens had never seen.
The images from this trip became the cornerstone of my fledgling portfolio, and a year later, these same photos granted me the right to travel further and farther when I won an online photo contest with photographer-friend Stephanie Roberts. I was back on a plane, only this time, I knew what to expect. Whether I was in a makeshift kitchen in Rwanda or the mountain villages of Nepal, my subjects wanted their stories to be told, especially when I turned the camera around and showed them what was possible to see through the viewfinder. Little girls slid into their fathers' arms. Mothers tilted their newborn babies to the best available light. Old men who couldn't read or write gave me their whole histories in a glance. It was transformative.
Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist eager to capture the essence of local life while on vacation, I know now that the key is one part human connection and one part filling the frame with someone who would like to be more fully seen. This is no small feat, but it's possible when we let go a little of getting what we want in the lens and make room for the heart and vision of someone else. Our willingness to go beyond our own agenda not only will improve the quality of our work, but it will deepen our experience of our art. And it's when we approach our work with a new measure of heart and soul—combined with our technical expertise—that our images truly shine.

Captain Ginyu
this wiki
Directory: Characters → Villains → DBZ villains → Ginyu Force
"The purpose of striking a pose is not to become like a wallpaper. That's why we chant loudly when we pose, to draw attention to our magnificence. I know. I'll just have to raise the stakes a little bit. The best poser gets a candy!"
Captain Ginyu (ギニュー) is the leading member of an elite mercenary platoon, the eponymous Ginyu Force. His name is a pun on gyūnyū (牛乳), the Japanese word for dairy milk.
Captain Ginyu is shown to care deeply about his teammates, becoming incredibly furious when learning from Jeice that his three other subordinates were defeated and killed. However, he also can be quite harsh to his team members if they fail a mission, as shown when he harshly scolds Jeice for letting Burter and Recoome lose to Goku and running away from the fight. He is also shown to be very loyal to Frieza, and follows any order Frieza gives him. His loyalty to Frieza appears to be so extreme that even after he has swapped bodies with a Namekian Frog, he tries to sneak a Namekian Dragon Ball away from Gohan to make sure that they do not use the Dragon Balls before Frieza can (or it may simply have been as revenge for such a humiliating defeat). However, despite his flaws, Ginyu has displayed a strong sense of honor in combat and prefers fairness in his battles, as shown when he refused to break Goku's neck due to Jeice interfering in their fight, and even threatening to kill Jeice if he did it again. Goku takes note of this and insinuates that Ginyu may not be all bad and even capable of redemption.
Early life
Like the other members of the Ginyu Force, Ginyu's special powers originated during his childhood. When Ginyu first learned of his Body Change ability, he swapped bodies with the richest kid in his class, which made him popular with girls but also stupid, and he soon realized that men should compete in terms of strength rather than money.[1] Only a few people have seen Ginyu's true form, and Salza is among them. Salza had to fight Ginyu to become leader of Cooler's Armored Squadron.[2][3]
Dragon Ball Z
Commissioned to Namek
Captain Ginyu and his comrades are commissioned after Frieza learns that Vegeta is searching for the seven Dragon Balls on Namek, and that the Saiyan's Power Level is growing rapidly, quickly surpassing Frieza's personal henchmen, Dodoria and Zarbon. The force spends five days traveling the stars en route to Namek, and upon reaching the planet, Frieza dispatches the team to capture Vegeta, kill his two companions (Krillin and Gohan), and recover the Dragon Balls which have since been stolen by Vegeta. Efficient as they are, the Ginyu Force do not take long to track down their targets and locate all seven Dragon Balls, with the rest of his team showing off their special talents, such as Burter's tremendous speed and Guldo's time freezing. Initially, Captain Ginyu intends to slay Vegeta by himself, but when his subordinates complain that they have not had the opportunity to fight, Ginyu concedes, allowing them to deal with Vegeta and the others while he returns the Dragon Balls to Frieza's spaceship.
Captain Ginyu transfers the Dragon Balls back to Frieza, using his telekinetic powers to levitate the Dragon Balls, but the two almost instantly discover that they can not activate the artifacts to summon the Eternal Dragon. Remembering one of his previous Namekian victims whose last words told of how Frieza could never make a wish even with the seven Dragon Balls gathered, Frieza deduces that there must be a secret Namekian language custom used to activate them. The tyrant uses his scouter to investigate the vicinity for Nameks, finding three of them in an area that his forces left untouched (Nail, Guru and Dende). Captain Ginyu volunteers to force the secret out of them, but Frieza declines in favor of handling the task himself. In the meantime, Captain Ginyu is assigned to watch over the seven Dragon Balls.
"Body Change!"
While guarding the Dragon Balls, Captain Ginyu is joined by one of his subordinates, a delirious Jeice, who confirms that a powerful warrior has arrived on Namek, and their comrades, Recoome, Burter and Guldo, have been brutally killed. Captain Ginyu scolds Jeice for running away from the battle, and advises against Jeice's proposal to warn Frieza, as he does not want this to compromise his reputation. Ginyu decides to confront this new fighter called Goku himself, leaving his subordinates in the care of the Dragon Balls (in the manga, Jeice is left to hide the balls, while in the anime, they are left to be buried by Frieza's low-class soldiers).
Upon convening with Goku, Captain Ginyu determines that the Saiyan is capable of masking his true power level (as Ginyu is the only member of the Ginyu Force able to do so), speculating his true strength to be somewhere around 60,000 (in contrast to what has appeared on the Ginyu Force's scouters as a mere 5,000). The commander's first advance on Goku is only amplified when Vegeta escapes the scene in flight, in spite of the alliance he and Goku had formed specially for the encounter. This distraction leaves Goku open for an elbow bash to the face. Goku and Ginyu continue to do battle, with Ginyu eventually realizing his shortcomings against the Saiyan from Earth. Ginyu started to believe that Goku might even be a Super Saiyan. However, he disproved this as no Saiyan he ever encountered or heard about was as sympathetic as Goku. As Ginyu and Goku continue their battle, both Ginyu and Goku manage to trick each other, using certain tricks and stealth attacks to land hits, as they seem evenly matched. Despite managing to capture Goku in a full nelson, Ginyu releases him upon deducing that he was only able to take hold of Goku as a result of Jeice's interference, blasting Goku with a beam, which distracted him. For this, he admonishes Jeice, even threatening to kill him if he intrudes on the conflict once more. This act makes him seem to be an honorable fighter.
Captain Ginyu realizes Goku is not using his full power in their fight, and requests Goku to reveal his full power, which he does, shocking Ginyu and Jeice, as Goku's power was 180,000, while Ginyu's was 120,000. Accepting that he is at odds with Goku, Ginyu's next action is a startling one. He spontaneously stabs his chest, before revealing his true plot: resorting to his ability to exchange bodies in an attempt to level with Goku, showing the reason why he stabbed his old body; so that Goku cannot fight back and will eventually die of blood loss. The body change is a success, but Captain Ginyu fails to make the most of Goku's shell's power level of 180,000, stopping short at just 23,000. Only in the English dub, Jeice says that the power level was actually growing weaker.
With this, he is promptly forced into a losing battle against Gohan and Krillin while Vegeta battles Jeice. However, midway through the battle, he begins to learn how to draw out Goku's full power and begins to fight back and win against Gohan and Krillin, even when Goku (having also learnt how to utilize Ginyu's body's power) tries to come to their assistance, Ginyu easily defeats all three of them. It is not until Vegeta, having finished off Jeice, appears and pummels Ginyu with his new maximum power that they survive. Beaten into the ground, Ginyu attempts switching bodies with Vegeta twice. The first time, Goku, still rendered within Ginyu's body, interferes with the attack. The second time, the further injured Goku successfully tosses a Namekian Frog within the trajectory of the Body Change's energy wave, thus rendering Captain Ginyu's soul trapped within the shell of the frog. Unable to pronounce the technique, he is unable to transfer himself to a new body. Likewise, Ginyu's original body is inhabited by the Frog's soul, and in a similar manner, can only speak in croaks.
Captain Ginyu is ultimately the only member of the Ginyu Force not to be killed by Vegeta. Though Vegeta has the opportunity to finish the captain off after Ginyu switches bodies with the frog, Vegeta opts not to kill him so as not to get "toad guts" all over his "nice clean boots" (in the manga and Kai, Vegeta lets him live after Goku mentions that he is no longer a threat, and states that the life he has ahead of him is torture enough).
Frog Ginyu
In the manga, Ginyu is never seen or heard from again. In the anime, however, Ginyu continues making subsequent filler appearances as a frog. Here, he is discovered by Bulma and kept as her companion. After realizing that the frog understands human dialect, Bulma creates a device to translate his croaking into speech, which Ginyu in turn uses to betray Bulma with his regained ability to pronounce the Body Change technique. Seizing Bulma's body, Ginyu uses Bulma's air-ski to visit the site of Frieza and Goku's showdown, also attended by Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan; Bulma takes hold of the air-ski, and despite Ginyu's attempt to lose the frog, Bulma is able to reach her oblivious friends. Captain Ginyu attempted to pose as Bulma and watch the fight between Goku and Frieza, although he lets slip about his true identity when he blurted out cheers directed towards Frieza. Sensing that he ended up exposing himself, Ginyu wages an attack on the trio, before deciding to switch bodies with the most powerful of the three, Piccolo. Gohan comes to realize that the frog is in actuality Bulma, which leads him to throw Bulma in the path of the wave, reverting Ginyu to the shell of a frog once again, and restoring Bulma to her human body. Bulma and Ginyu are then blown away by the force of one of the blasts from Goku and Frieza's fight. They are eventually blown into a cliff by Goku's Spirit Bomb. Ginyu is eventually used to scout out to see where they are by Bulma, who is still sore about Ginyu's earlier betrayal. By the time Ginyu reports back to Bulma, she notices the immense aura overtaking an island in the vicinity: The same island Frieza, Goku, and Gohan are on as Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan.
After a wish made to Porunga, the Eternal Dragon of Namek, Ginyu is later transported to Earth with all living beings on Namek except Goku and Frieza. Afterwards, Ginyu goes on to live among the frogs surrounding Capsule Corporation, apparently becoming the ruler of the pond. He also ends up living in the greenhouse of Bulma's home.[4] It is never revealed what becomes of the frog whose soul is within Ginyu's shell, save for one scene where he hops around the Earth forest where Porunga evacuates the people of Namek to Earth. Ginyu makes infrequent appearances in later episodes as a frog, such as outside Goku's house during Gohan's 11th birthday,[5] and later when he is picked up by a Great Saiyaman-disguised Gohan, after an attempt by Sharpner to unmask him.[6] Ginyu is ultimately killed when Kid Buu destroys the Earth. However, he is revived alongside the Earth and it' citizens later.

- Dragon Ball Online
Captain Ginyu appears in the computer game Dragon Ball Online, when he and his forces arrive on Namek as per Frieza's orders as in the manga/anime. When Ginyu eventually takes over Goku's body, the Time Patrol fights him in order to stop him from getting to close to a brainwashing machine. Later, back in his original body, Ginyu attempts to take Vegeta's body, but Goku saves Vegeta by throwing a Namekian Frog between Ginyu and Vegeta, giving Ginyu the frog's body. Towa appears and, disappointed at not being able to take over Goku, transforms Frog Ginyu into Mega Ginyu Frog, giving him red eyes, a Time Breaker gem, and extra power and size (being the largest of the brainwashed Galactic Frieza Army soldiers). Mega Ginyu Frog summons other types of Namekian Frogs to aid him during the battle. Even though he is still defeated by the Time Patrol, Towa finds him to be a success (compared to her other experiments).
- Manga and Anime
During his battle with Goku, Frieza stated that he did not think anyone in the universe had surpassed Ginyu.[7] Jeice states that Captain Ginyu's maximum power level is 120,000 while reading Goku's Kaioken which stopped at 180,000 and realizes that not even Ginyu is capable to defeat the Saiyan from Earth. When Ginyu trades bodies with Goku, his power level decreases to 23,000 (as well as decreasing even further, according to Jeice's reading on his scouter in the English dub), as he could not unlock Goku's power.
- Video games
Captain Ginyu's power level in the manga, anime, video games (such as Legend of the Super Saiyan, Goku Gekitōden, and Dragon Ball Z: Sagas), and Daizenshuu is stated to be at 120,000. In Goku Gekitōden, Ginyu starts off with a power of 120,000 but can increase it up to 240,000. In the Famicom game Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza, Ginyu's battle power is 160,000.

There, he faces and defeats characters such as Krillin, Android 20, Android 18, Super Saiyan Goku, Super Saiyan Gohan, Piccolo, and even the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly. In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, when Ginyu faces an opponent stronger than him (like Super Saiyan Goku or Future Trunks), he uses the same trick Cui played on Vegeta on Namek, saying to his rival that either Frieza or Cooler are behind them and then escapes in order to keep looking after the Dragon Balls with the Dragon Radar he stole from Krillin. In both games, Ginyu's only wish from the Dragon Balls is to revive his deceased friends and to re-form the Ginyu Force. In the first game, his wish demolishes Frieza's desire for immortality by accident as Frieza gives Ginyu the first wish as a reward for Ginyu's hard work of collecting the balls, thinking the Earth's Dragon Balls grant three wishes like the Namekian Dragon Balls. In the second game, his wish to revive his "allies that were killed on Nameks" makes him revive Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria alongside the Ginyu Force members.
In Frieza's story-mode in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, Ginyu appears in front of Frieza after Frieza's victory over Super Saiyan Goku on Namek. Frieza is shocked, as he thought Ginyu was dead. Ginyu excuses for failing in his mission of obtaining the Dragon Balls. Frieza is in a good mood after killing Goku and forgives him, and they both escape the dying Planet Namek just before the explosion. On Planet Frieza 79, Frieza gives Ginyu a chance of cleaning his reputation and they both make a journey to Earth for its Dragon Balls. They conquer the planet after killing the Z Fighters and destroying the populated areas on it. Frieza then renames Earth: "Planet Frieza #80". Ginyu finds the Dragon Radar on the West City ruins and starts to look after the balls. After finding four of them, he locates Dr. Gero's secret lab, where Android 20 is keeping the remaining balls in order to lure the two aliens in, believing he will be able to take down Frieza if he absorbs Ginyu's energy. Ginyu's scouter does not detect any person near the balls' location, so he goes in to look if it is a trap. While inside, he is attacked from behind and killed by Android 20. Frieza then meets Android 20 and says that, considering Android 20's mechanic way of powering up, Ginyu "never stood a chance".
In Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, Ginyu is playable in both his standard form and in Goku's Body, Goku in Ginyu's body is also fully playable. In an altered history of Age 762, Dark Ginyu steals Vegeta's body and attacks Goku with the rest Ginyu Force. While Goku is distracted by the other Ginyu force members, Dark Ginyu uses the Body Change to switch from Vegeta's body to Goku's body. Dark Ginyu then kills Goku in Vegeta's body with a Kamehameha. To avoid this altered history, Future Trunks sends the Future Warrior back to aid Goku, his father, Krillin, and Gohan. While the Future Warrior is fighting with Jeice, Dark Ginyu tries to steal Goku's body with a Body Change, but is accidentally swaps bodies with the Future Warrior when Jeice accidentally knocks the Warrior in the path of the Body Change. Dark Ginyu becomes angry at Jeice as there is a difference in the potential power between the Warrior and Goku, with Goku's being the greater of the two. Realizing their ally the Future Warrior and Dark Ginyu have switched bodies, Goku asks the Future Warrior to use Ginyu's body to infiltrate Frieza's spaceship to help Krillin and Gohan retrieve the Namekian Dragon Balls believing that Frieza's henchmen will mistake the Warrior for Captain Ginyu due to the Body Change. Under the orders of Future Trunks, the Warrior agrees to Goku request and leaves Goku alone face Ginyu in the Warrior's body. While fighting Goku alone in the Warrior's body Dark Ginyu is unable to switch bodies with Goku as he is aware of the technique thanks to Dark Ginyu's Body Change with Future Warrior. Eventually Dark Ginyu manages to escape Goku and flies to Frieza's spaceship only to find the Future Warrior, Gohan, and Krillin have successfully retrieved the Namekian Dragon Balls and placed them outside Frieza's ship. Still in the Warrior's body, Ginyu confronts the trio while a hidden Vegeta watches nearby, and Goku arrives in pursuit of Ginyu in the Warrior's body. In Ginyu's body the Future Warrior stands up to fight Ginyu in the Warrior's body in the hopes of getting their body back. Still in the Warrior's damaged body Ginyu tries steal Goku's body again unleashes another Body Change on Goku, but Future Trunks warns the Future Warrior of the body change in time for the Warrior to shield Goku and reverse the Body Change, causing the Future Warrior and Ginyu return to their original bodies. Back in his original body, Dark Ginyu has Guldo use Telekinesis to restrain Goku and performs another body change, successfully managing to steal Goku's Body. In Goku's body, Ginyu enters Villainous Mode and faces off against Goku in Ginyu's body and the Future Warrior, while Vegeta enters the fight facing off against Guldo. The following fight plays out pretty much as it did in the origin history, Vegeta knocks Goku's body down to the ground with a Sledgehammer attack and Ginyu tries to swap Goku's heavily damaged body for Vegeta's but Goku in Ginyu's body jumps in the way returning both to their original bodies. Then Ginyu tries again to steal Vegeta's body only for Goku to grab a nearby Namekian Frog and throw it in the way of the Body Change causing Ginyu to swap bodies with the frog instead of Vegeta. He appears as Dark Ginyu via Démigra's Dark Magic and obtains Villainous Mode after swapping bodies with Goku. In Parallel Quest 18: "Return of the Ginyu Force!", Ginyu manages to steal Goku's body when the Ginyu Force invades Earth. After all of the other Ginyu Force Members are defeated, Ginyu will appear in Goku's body. After taking a certain amount of damage he will cause Goku's body to transform into a Super Saiyan. Ginyu can only do this in the Parallel Quest and Ginyu's Super Saiyan Goku form is not playable. A much friendlier Captain Ginyu also appears in Toki Toki City to recruit potential new members of the Ginyu Force and the Future Warrior can apply resulting in Captain Ginyu becoming their Master and will teach the Warrior various Fighting Poses and techniques, ultimately teaching the Warrior his signature Body Change technique for successfully completing his Ginyu Force training regiment.

- Thai dub: Thanakrit Jenklongtham (Original Z) Pattarawut Samutnavee (Z Kai)
- Captain Ginyu's "Character Introduction" biography in the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series states that Ginyu has used the Body Change technique numerous times in his career and that his humanoid appearance in Dragon Ball Z is the result of a previous Body Change, rather than Ginyu's original shell. However, Ginyu's appearance as a child and in the Other World after dying in the body of a Namekian Frog (the product of an awry Body Change) is the form he had during first on-screen appearance. It may be possible, however, that this body was simply his preferred one, the one he had stayed in for the most time (even longer than the frog), or that he had switched back to his original one sometime before the battle on Namek, or that the artists/animators wanted to ensure he was recognized easily by the viewers.
- Captain Ginyu has blue blood. This may be in reference to the term "Blue Blood", which refers to the royal class, seeing as Captain Ginyu is a captain, and he sees himself higher than all warriors.
- Ginyu is the only member of the Ginyu Force that did not die on Namek as he was killed by Kid Buu on Earth
- Ginyu's true race is unknown, due to the fact that the body he had might not have been his original. However, he did state once that he and Jeice are mutants.
- In Chi-Chi's commentary in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, she notes that Ginyu appears to like comic book heroes. Indeed, he does often strike poses like a hero.
- In most English dubs of Dragon Ball Z, each of Captain Ginyu's voice actors also served as series narrators: Dale Kelly was the first narrator in the FUNimation dub (until he was replaced by Kyle Hebert), and Brice Armstrong was the narrator of the Dragon Ball anime series. Of note, even though Ginyu and the narrator are not the same voice actor in the English dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai, that series' narrator, Doc Morgan, sounds strikingly similar to Richard Newman (Ginyu's Ocean dub voice actor).
- In the Remastered Ginyu Saga, where Ginyu is voiced by Brice Armstrong, Dale Kelly's voice is still used whenever Ginyu powers up, possibly due to Armstrong's age (of note, Armstrong retired shortly after the Remastered versions).
- Ginyu's reaction for Jeice's report about the death of Guldo, Recoome and Burter differs in the English dubs: in the original Ocean dub, he shouts that "How could three of the most powerful warriors in the universe be defeated?!" and then has a flashback of each of them. However, in the FUNimation dub, he shouts "How could two of the of the most powerful warriors in the universe be defeated?!" and then has the same visual of them three; which could be because Goku did not defeat Guldo and Ginyu does specify "one man" defeating Recoome and Burter.
- In Dragon Ball Z Kai, for the preview for "Surprise! Goku is Ginyu and Ginyu is Goku?!", Ginyu breaks the Fourth Wall by saying that he is taking charge and comments on changing the series name to "Ginyu Force Kai".
- In the scene he appears as ghost in the Other World on Dragon Ball GT, Ginyu is drawn with white gloves (like most of Frieza's henchmen and Ginyu Force members), instead of the black & white arm-protectors he wear in his humanoid shell.

Ever wonder why MRAs promote hatred or hostility toward women when they actually could be doing at least something worthwhile instead? I've been getting a lot of questions about this in the last few days (perhaps because of speculations that MRA affiliation had something to do with Justin Vacula being asked to resign from SkepticInc, but that's not my network so I can't speak to that).
I've said before that MRA groups could have chosen to work as allies with feminists, respectful of women and women's issues side by side with their own, even sharing contacts, resources, and models for action, just as many other special interest groups do. But that's not the road they took.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, MRAs are Men's Rights Activists. MRA can also mean Men's Rights Activism collectively, but that is more commonly known as the MRM or Men's Rights Movement. I shall be distinguishing that category (of those who specifically identify as or with men's "rights" activists) from another, that of men's issues advocates. There are many of the latter who are exactly what MRAs should be but aren't: respectful and sensible campaigners for interests unique to men or affecting men in gender-distinct ways. They just don't pompously describe what they do as advocating for men's "rights."
So what went wrong with the MRAs? Instead of acting like other special interest groups of merit, by and large (there may be exceptions; I rarely see them) the MRM has historically developed as a de facto hate movement, specifically in opposition to feminism (MRAs are often explicitly anti-feminist, and almost always at least implicitly so). In every organized instance I know, self-described MRAs endorse or promote sexism or misogyny in some form, and (of interest to skeptics) promote pseudoscience and conspiracy-theory-style claims about the world that are demonstrably false or dubious, but believed because they support a desired narrative or worldview.
And yet, there are those men's issues organizations that do not identify with the MRM and are not hate groups, but actually do it right. So today I'm going to talk a little about both sides of this divide, to illustrate what "doing men's rights rightly" would actually have looked like, if the MRM took its cue from those meritorious men's issues organizations (and other special interest movements altogether), rather than from a baseline hate-filled worldview of delusional anti-feminism.

New forms of government services delivery and governance through electronic means have developed rapidly in the last years. The European Commission (EC) and the EU Member States, as well as local and regional authorities have been actively supporting the development of eGovernment covering all areas of public sector activity in Europe.
The key objective of this study is to help develop a vision on European eGovernment policy initiatives and to provide the EC with tools to help identify a number of high impact innovative and adaptive eGovernment services that are or can be delivered at a pan-European scale and which should be designed to be adaptive to various contexts and to continuous societal and technological change. For this the study will undertake a mapping exercise to lay out the current state of play, trends, barriers, drivers, and user requirements, for the next 10 years. We will check findings and theory against a rigorous selection of real life case studies. Furthermore we will develop a generic model for sustained innovation against a theoretical model of adaptive decision-making. The project will also develop a measurement framework and composite indicators to determine the impacts of such services, in order to determine the 'business case' for their development. The final deliverable will be a strategy for determining, designing and developing pan-European eGovernment services, accompanied by a roadmap for their implementation.
Policy development at the level of the EU takes place in the context the policy framework of i2010, which follows up on the eEurope programme. Within i2010 the recently adopted eGovernment Action plan will be the reference point for this study. In this action plan the bullet points of 'high impact services' and 'efficiency and effectiveness' are of particular interest.
The i2010 high level group and the eGovernment sub-group, including a number of ad hoc groups (e.g. e-Inclusion, e-Identity Management) form the governance structure of the EU's endeavours to strengthen eGovernment through studies, benchmarking, best practice exchange and pilot project. A number of Commission DGs are actively involved, with DG INFSO as central coordinator of eGovernment activities and responsibilities for eGovernment research and strategy. Other DGs also have important strategic functions, like DG JFS in exchange and retention of personal data for security and law enforcement purposes; and DG Enterprise as responsible DG for IDABC, where a number of pilots are developed, a shared infrastructure is maintained and which manages the European Interoperability framework and the eGovernment Best Practices Database. Other DGs have thematic interests like Employment, SANCO, etc. The project is aware of this policy and governance context and will work with these parties in preparing the deliverables, in order to achieve the necessary buy in for increasing the project's impact.
An expert working group of academics and stakeholders from MS and EU will be a sounding board for the project and a dissemination platform for the project's outputs. It will be supported by a dedicated website and a range of dissemination activities. The project will actively cooperate with existing projects and studies to increase relevance, continuity and efficiency of EC endeavours in this area.

The entry period for the November contest has now opened. Members can enter via the online form. We encourage all members to view the short video, linked on the form, to familiarize themselves with the entry process. The entry deadline for November will be midnight on 12/15. *You must be logged into your member account to access the entry page.
Still Photojournalists may enter published work in the regional Monthly News Clip Contest.Winning entries are put in the running for the monthly National competition, and earn the journalist points towards the regional Photographer of the Year award.
Improvements to the Clip Contest in 2015:
- The Illustration/Controlled Portrait category has been eliminated - this is due to low participation in the category
- Judges will not be required to select three winners in a given category if, in their judgment, there are not 3 entries that are worthy of recognition - this will encourage the submission of the highest-quality images
The Monthly Clip Contest is one the most popular and long standing of NPPA member contests. It provides members an opportunity to share their work and compete against some the best photographers in their region each month. It also provides an opportunity for critique of images and the chance for winning members to share their work with both members and non-members alike.
For general questions about entry please contact your regional chair or the NPPA home office at email@example.com. If you are experiencing any technical difficulties with your entry please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The contest is open to all members in good standing whose dues are paid for the month of the competition entered. New or renewal dues must be received by the national office during the contest month. (Note: dues paid by check may take up to a week to process; please plan accordingly.)
Members submit entries online in the region in which they reside or work. Interns or students may enter in either their region of residence or in the region where they work or attend classes, but not both.
Only published entries are eligible. Publication is defined as printed or electronically reproduced by a commercial enterprise. Simple database postings are not eligible. "Commercial enterprise" does not necessarily mean a for-profit endeavor, and discretion in determining the form or context of a "commercial enterprise" is granted to the regional clip chairs. Entries may be from any publication or enterprise except those produced by NPPA, including wire services. Entrants may be asked to show proof of publication on a case-by-case basis or risk disqualification of the image.
Neither the name of the photographer nor the publication or enterprise may be shown visually on the image (that is, no watermarks or badges should appear). There are no restrictions on the information in the IPTC headers.
All entries must have a caption, which may be either the original published caption, or a freshly produced caption that clearly explains what the picture shows. Your caption should include the date the photograph was made and must include the photographer (name/outlet) in the caption field.
The date the image was shot must be included in the caption field.
Before uploading your images please make sure that your File Info/IPTC caption information area is filled out correctly. Your caption should include the date the photograph was made and must include the photographer (name/outlet) in the caption field.
Please place the following information in the specific corresponding text fields. The contest chair has authority to disqualify any image that fails to have the required IPTC information properly placed.
Caption = IPTC Caption (Photo Mechanic) or IPTC Description (Photoshop)
Photographer's Name = IPTC Credit
Publication Name = IPTC Source
All images must be saved as Good quality JPEG files with a maximum dimension of 2,750 pixels on a side (11" at 250 dpi). Image files should be 3 MB or less.
Each image file that is entered must be unique. Therefore we are asking that each entrant at the start of the image filename put the category abbreviation then a underscore (_) then their phone number then a underscore (_) then the storyslug then a underscore (_) and then a sequentional number.
Feature Single = FTSG
Sports = SPRT
Feature (Multiple) = FTMP
General News = GENW
Spot News = SPNW
Please label your images like the following:
For multiple images within the same entry continue story slug and numerical sequence SPNW_2125551212_storyslug_02.jpg
A maximum of nine (9) entries may be made each month in any combination of the five categories.
For multiple picture entries: A series of related pictures published in more than one month may be entered as a single entry for the month concluding the series.
A picture can only be entered once in the contest. If a picture is published at a later date, after it has already been entered in a previous month's competition, it can not be entered again.
Similarly, the same picture cannot be entered in more than one contest category for the same month, nor may a picture entered singly appear as part of a multiple-picture entry for the same month. If the same picture appears in more than one entry for the month, the regional chair may disqualify both entries.
An entry must have been shot or published in the month it is entered in the contest. For example, an image shot or published in February must be entered in February's competition. No longer will it allowed for photographers to enter pictures shot earlier in the year and then published later in the year in "year-end" galleries. This rule does not apply to multiple picture entries which may have been photographed over the course of months or even years. This rule is to try to maintain a level playing field for all entrants in order to more fully realize the spirit of the competition. If an entrant is confused or not sure of a picture's eligibility, it is suggested the photographer contact their clip chair before the contest deadline and get a clarification. It is up to the photographer to solicit the clip chair's permission beforehand or risk having their entry disqualified.)
Each entry must be the work of an individual photographer.
It is understood that any copyright of an entry remains the property of the photographer or employer of the photographer.
However, all participants agree that by entering the contest, entrants give permission to NPPA for its regional and national publications to reproduce winning entries, including but not limited to, regional publications, News Photographer magazine, commercial online services and NPPA presences on the Internet. Reasonable precautions will be taken to ensure the security of electronic reproduction.
NPPA may also enter into agreements with other entities or enterprises for delivery of images entered in the contest. Release of the original photo of any image entry is solely at the discretion of the entrant and any entrant may decline to release any photo for non-NPPA publication without penalty to regional contest standing.
Spot News
Coverage of events for which no advance planning was possible. Examples include, but are not limited to, accidents, fires, natural disasters and spot police action. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
General News
Coverage of events for which advance planning was possible. Examples include, but are not limited to, courtroom events, funerals, news conferences, mock exercises, and campaigns. Spot news that develops during the course of planned events (such as riots at a protest) should be entered in Spot News. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
Action and feature pictures from a sporting event. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
Feature/Single Picture
Coverage of events and subjects that don't fit in Spot News, General News, Sports or Illustration. Single images only.
Feature/Multiple Pictures
Events and subjects that don't fit in Spot News, General News, Sports or Illustration. Entries in this category must include multiple images. The category is intended for more in-depth work including photo essays, picture stories, investigative/documentary work, sequences, or series.
Each photographer entering the contest receives two points per month entered. First place receives 50 points , second place receives 40 points and third place 30 points. No ties or honorable mentions will be awarded. Points count only in the region in which they are earned and cannot be transferred.
If a winning entry is disqualified for any reason, the next place will be moved up to fill the disqualified image's spot. For example: If the first place winner was disqualified, the second place winner will move to first place; the third place winner will move to second place. A fourth-place image – if the judges have selected one – will be moved into the third place position and receive 30 points. The judges will be asked to pick four winners in each category, but in the off-chance they do not, there will be no third place winner and the 30 points will be lost..
If a third place image is disqualified, no points will be awarded for third place.
If an image is disqualified, the photographer may challenge the ruling. In that case, the photographer would appeal to the national clip chair. The national clip chair and two other regional clip chairs (from a different region than the photographer who is making the appeal) will make the final decision. The photographer must supply any information they feel will help make his/her case or that the MNCC Appeals Committee asks for. A decision will be made within three weeks of the appeal.
The photographer who accumulates the most points in each region during the calendar year will be named Regional Photographer of the Year, provided the photographer has shown versatility by winning in at least two of the six contest categories during the year. In case of a tie, both photographers will share the title.
In case of a year-end tie within a region's top 10 scores, the rank(s) beneath the tie will be skipped for the next award. For example, a two-way tie for top place leaves third place for the next highest photographer.
Immediately after monthly regional judging, first, second and third place winners in all regions will be combined and judged to select national first, second and third places in each category. No additional points are awarded for national wins, but national winners may appear in national NPPA publications.
The photojournalist with the most points at the end of the year will receive a plaque and be named National Clip Contest Photographer of the Year.
Due to a delay in the October entry period entries for October are due by midnight on November 21st. Once the contest has caught up from the delay we will return to our normal entry schedule.
Example: Entries from October need to be entered by 11:59:59 PM PST on November 21st.
International members have the same uploading deadlines as U.S. entries.
All entries must be uploaded online by the seventh of the month following the month of publication. Uploads must be completed by midnight PST.

Tisongmi Taba-Nyong Nayili Group
Damu is a member of a shea butter processing group who have been in the business for the last 4 years. Their group is called Tisongmi Taba-Nyong Nayili Women's Association. Damu makes good profits from the business since she and every member of her group have been trained by Grameen Ghana on how to process high quality premium shea butter for both international and local markets.
Damu and the group have asked for a loan of 6,900 cedis to enable them to buy 115 bags of shea nuts for processing. By so doing, Damu will increase production and, hence, profit more, repay the loan, and support her children's educational and food needs.
Additional Information
More information about this loan

Shea nut pickers and processors in rural Ghana will use these loans to access funding to process premium quality nuts and butter for international buyers.

About Grameen GhanaGrameen Ghana is a microfinance institution that aims to alleviate poverty in Northern Ghana by empowering underserved communities through financial services and educational training. The organization provides clients with loans for agricultural workers, shea nut processors, and for solar lighting purchases. At the same time, it promotes holistic development for clients through credit and financial literacy courses, savings programs and more. Kiva lenders' funds are enabling Grameen Ghana to grow and develop its high-demand agribusiness/shea loans and solar energy loans.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

text: I'll amend my comment to say that an 11x14 paper for an 8x10 contact is starting to get into the realm of wasting paper though. 5x7 on 8x10 is very normal - you've got a 1.5" margin all around, which is a nice amount of breathing space, but not so much that you'd be able to use those unprinted margins for something like test strips or even other prints. Not true with an 8x10 on 11x14 paper - give the 8x10 inch print a 1" margin, and then you're still trimming off enough paper to make one and a third 5x7 prints.

Whether you love her, hate her, love to hate her, or are her, every school has a goodie two shoes, or in this case goodie two Louis Vuitton booties. She may be a brownosing do-gooder but at least she's got style to back it up - she obviously took great notes on the ladylike Louis Vuitton collection. From the Vermeer-inspired berets to the sheen in the circle and pencil skirts to the rich color palette, it's hard to hate this girl. Consider her a frenemie? Truce.

Alternate title: Hands Off Mississippi
Young Emma comes to her grandmother Dolly's for the summer and learns to her horror that a dastardly neighbor--known by Emma and the local children as "the Alligator"--is planning to send his late uncle's horse Mississippi to the knacker's yard. Emma manages with the help of her grandmother and the local vet to buy Mississippi from the "Alligator". But then he is suddenly interested in reversing the sale when it turns out that the horse clearly plays an important role in the late uncle's will. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

A big step forward for both companies

It was revealed on Tuesday that Avon Products (NYSE:
) has reported a 2% drop in quarterly sales, thanks to higher
costs and the fact that the number of active sales
representatives has dropped.
The bad news continues for AVP too, with the world's largest
direct seller of cosmetics reporting that net income fell 81.5%
in the first quarter. That's a stunning decline for the company,
and one has to wonder if it will regret turning down the $10
billion takeover offer from rival Coty last month.
It is far too soon to say, but new CEO Sheri McCoy will
certainly know now that she has her work cut out for her. Avon
reported net profit of $26.5 million, or 6 cents per share, on
revenue of $2.58 billion. Compare that with a year earlier, when
the company reported net income of $143.6 million, or 33 cents,
on revenue of $2.63 billion.
As well as the higher costs and lack of sales reps, AVP has
seen increasing competition from drugstores in the U.S., price
drops in Eastern Europe and problems with the ordering systems in
Brazil. These are the sort of issues that McCoy will have to deal
with fast. Employees are already being laid off.
Avon's profit sat at 10 cents, which is significantly below
the 28 cents analysts had predicted.
North America seems to be where the company is currently
falling down, with revenue down 4% to $490.3 million. Roughly 80%
of its more than $11 billion annual revenue now comes from
The company, whose brands include Skin-So-Soft, Anew and Mark,
is doing better abroad. In Latin America, revenue edged up 1% to
$1.14 billion.
Avon won't be saying too much on guidance just yet either,
saying in a statement that, "We look forward to communicating
further with investors about our future growth strategy at the
appropriate time."

My day job gives me the opportunity to talk about the impact of IT changes to companies of all shapes and sizes. One of the common threads that bind them is the desire to be more like SaaS providers such as Salesforce, Google Docs and the like, and less like the corporate IT department of old.
One of the key changes will be preparing for scale before you're even confident that your service will gain traction. One thing I am confident of is that, like the rock gods Spinal Tap, painting an 11 on your website will not be enough to make them believe the service is any better. Sadly, you're going to have to understand the production line mechanics of the cloud world if you're going to thrive.
There are a number of changes required to being more "cloud-like," none of them written down in a book anywhere that I know of. I believe that's largely because the opportunities, issues and challenges are still being worked through – in other words, we're at chapter 0 of a book where the plot, the characters and the location are all still to be defined, let alone concluded.
Becoming more agile and innovative is a lot more like improvisational theatre than a set script. Having said that, I've collected a number of my thoughts and observations together in my Top 12 IT management challenges for 2012 series. That series spawned a number of requests for tool suggestions, case studies and generally more information.
While there's no "one true source," one of the most helpful sites I've encountered for cloud wannabes is High Scalability which is a site dedicated to curating case studies and architectures of cloud (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) providers both big and small. It provides an interesting behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a cloud, grow it from small to large, and looks at operating principals, software and cultural issues from a real world perspective.
While it might get a little geeky for some a(the sidebar advertisements are a clear indication of the target audience), the style is clear enough that even less technical types could drop it into their favorite RSS reader. In the same way you might read architecture and design magazines before thinking about re-modeling, you can flick through sites like these when you're next waiting for a train/plane and be ready to ask some challenging questions as you're planning your next web application.

Did Mo Twister squeal the "untold story" behind Angelicopter's controversial termination from Magic 89.9? In an audio recording sent to PEP of a portion of the Good Times show's February 16 episode, Mo was caught saying that reason for Angelicopter's departure is because of the "internal fighting" going on between her and Grace Lee. He also cited "seniority and things like that" as part of the factors as to why the management decided to let Angelicopter go.Photo: Noel Orsal
"Okay, so Chopper [Angelicopter] and Grace get into a fight, right? And did they ever say that Grace said if Chopper doesn't get fired she'll never come back?
"Did we ever say that on the show yet or no?" he asked.
Suzy replied, "I don't think so. Well, now you did."
Mo continued, "I think that generally is what happened.
"Okay, so there was a thing where, 'I can't work with her so one of us has to go.'
"And then collectively, a decision was made to retain Grace because she's seniority and things like that.
"And then Chopper was told to take a break and not like get, you know, formally fired I guess, but to take a break.
"It all ends up like she doesn't want to be on the program anymore and she's gone.
"So the reason for that is because of the internal fighting going on between both of them."
On February 24, the management of Magic 89.9 released an official statement saying that Angelicopter was fired due to "internal issues" and that her termination was decided upon "after an ongoing assessment of her overall performance."
(CLICK HERE to read related article)
In an interview with Grace Lee on February 27, she also reiterated that Angelicopter was removed from the station not because of their misunderstanding.

PEP has already contacted Mo Twister to clarify the statements he made on air, but he has not yet responded.
The website is also open to reactions or statements coming from the other parties concerned.
