Ease and Beauty from Garden to Vase
Dahlias have one of the widest ranges of bloom colors, forms, and sizes you'll find anywhere. From 1/2-inch pompoms to 12-inch dinner-plate-sized flowers, Dahlias bring striking life to the landscape in late summer and into fall. Flaunting nearly every available flower color (except true blue) Dahlias send up both daisy-like single types and full doubles, as well as intermediate forms such as collarettes and anemone styles. Easy to sow from seed and ranging in size from 12 inches to 6-8 inches, Dahlias thrive in bedding gardens and containers and make lovely cut flowers!

HLM: Will population health be a priority, and how might you go about improving population health?
CVG: Population health is going to be an issue for everybody across the country. We are in this era now where we need to look at value. Today's healthcare system I often describe as a sick business. If you're not sick we are out of business. We are moving into an era where we focus on keeping people well and that requires population health management. That means intervening earlier in our patients lives to try to do everything we can to keep them well.
See Also: Intelligence Report: Population Health Management–Steps to Risk Sharing and Data Analytics
We anticipate that we will reach out with wireless technologies, video conferencing, and other [telehealth] capabilities to lower costs of care, reach more patients in that community and bring more services to that community. I have never believed that it is the best for a patient to have to leave their community to receive care. Certainly they are not going to have every tertiary and quaternary service.
A number of patients will still come to San Diego. But under Scripps leadership, we think we can bring new services to that community and meet that community's much closer to their homes. It's the right thing to do… assuming we can put this transaction together.
HLM: Do you anticipate cutting some services or downsizing ECRMC?
CVG: Over time, every inpatient hospital is going to shrink. But there will clearly be an expansion of ambulatory services. El Centro understands that already and they have already invested in a number of ambulatory sites. I would anticipate growth in that area. We still have to do some work under the California Seismic Safety Law out there and eventually, probably, we will build a brand new hospital. When that happens, we will work with the community to determine what their needs are for inpatient and ambulatory care.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Very cool picture, I hope you eventually make your book, with an English version in America. The only problem I see is that he only has one eye. I'm not sure if he only has one eye under the helmet, but it just seems like that would work against him, but still, it's a very good picture that seems like it could have a very good backstory.

What is the self? Do we all have one? Is it best treated with Botox or with books? Is it grounded in genetic concrete or manufactured by cultural circumstances? How can you tell the ersatz from the genuine article–and who's the best judge? Is having a self the same as having an identity, or are the two sequential, a successful excavation of one's "inner essence" leading to association, political and otherwise, with a group of like-minded essences?
The questions may sound as if they're lifted from a ditzy and dated issue of Psychology Today, but they are in fact subjects of heated debate in cutting-edge intellectual circles. Few historians (other than some queer ones) participate in such debates; most would claim that they're above such trendy foolishness, though the real reason may be that historians are a stodgy bunch–they're conservators, after all, and of The Past no less, that currently scorned, "irrelevant" territory.
But now along comes a young historian named Daniel Hurewitz. With his first full-length book, Bohemian Los Angeles (a guidebook preceded), he jumps feet first into the recondite realm of essences and identities, and does so with the aplomb of a philosopher manqué. Hurewitz's impressive debut marks–to the extent one can ever predict such things–the arrival of a future scholar of the front rank. The imaginative boldness of Bohemian Los Angeles will inevitably draw counterfire. As I participate in that rebuttal, I hope the reader will keep in mind that I do so from an overall vantage point of admiration.
But let's get down to it. Working with the sophistication of a seasoned comparative historian, though more lucid than most, Hurewitz traces and evaluates the intersecting histories of three epicenters–artists, Communists and homosexuals–that co-existed in the LA subdivision of Edendale over a forty-year span (roughly the 1920s through the '60s). Hurewitz's research on these communities has been deep and comprehensive enough to allow him to raise a set of interlocking questions about how these seemingly disparate communities shaped themselves and influenced one another.
Along the way he tramples rather audaciously on some pretty hallowed ground. He challenges the widely accepted notion, for example, that lesbian bar culture of some fifty years ago was a significant proto-political site for subsequent gay organizing. Hurewitz also takes issue with the widely held view that the emergence of a gay identity in the early twentieth century was closely linked to the rise of capitalism, which, so the argument has gone, allowed individuals to escape the close scrutiny of the family farm for the anonymity of cities–where endemic oppression further politicized them. He thinks the origins of identity politics lay deeper, "in a broad array of social arenas where fundamental questions about the self and politics" were being asked; in "thirdspace" geographical locations like Edendale, at the margins of society (often called "bohemia"), where the values of a dominant bourgeois cultural structure were being undermined and where "the inner life…had to become conceptualized as a foundation of self-hood."
When dealing with the Communist enclave in Edendale, Hurewitz similarly argues (again, contrary to most historians) that the party created fertile soil in which individuals could examine and nurture their inner lives–in a manner comparable to the surrounding community of artists. Party members did not, in other words, surrender their individuality to the overarching need for a disciplined collective struggle against social injustice. "Edendale Communists," Hurewitz argues, "cultivated a dynamic relationship between individuals and society that further transformed and politicized the quest for essence." The search for an "authentic self," in short, purportedly characterized all three Edendale communities and gave them a shared vision and purpose.

In Western countries, we look to the courts to enforce intellectual property rights. In China there are two enforcement routes the IP owner can take: judicial and administrative. Those who take the administrative route are almost exclusively Chinese. When it comes to enforcing IP rights in China, perhaps, like choosing a restaurant in a new town, Western business should consider "where the locals eat."
In the provinces and designated cities, there are various administrative agencies with local offices that can redress infringement of IP. For patent infringement, there are local intellectual property offices (IPOs) that are overseen by the State IPO; for trademark infringement and trade secret theft, local Administration for Industry and Commerce (AIC); and for IP infringement generally, there is the local General Administration of Customs office, which can ban the import/export of infringing goods. These local offices operate as a quasi-judicial authority, and are staffed (albeit sparsely) with people who specialize in their respective areas of IP law. They can issue injunctions and thus halt the infringement. They can even enlist the police to assist in enforcing their orders. But the agencies do not have the authority to award monetary damages. Also, there is no established appeal procedure, so if a party is dissatisfied with the agency's decision, it would have to take the case to court to change the result.
The IP owner can use the variety of enforcement authorities to its advantage: If one particular authority does not cooperate (perhaps because of local protectionism), it may be possible to achieve the desired objective by involving an alternative agency. If, for example, patent infringement is difficult to prove, but obvious quality defects exist in the counterfeits, it may be possible to act based on product quality and consumer protection rules. Similarly, if a software copyright case would be hard to bring, a trademark action based on counterfeited packaging rather than the copyrighted contents may be more desirable. In China, prior discussions with the available authorities are appropriate to determine the best possible channel for bringing an enforcement action.
An interesting example of the effectiveness of administrative enforcement versus the court system is seen in the area of trademarks. The first instance concerns Yi Jian Lian (YJL), a famous basketball star in China. A Chinese sports products company registered the trademark "yi jian lian" even though there was no business relationship between YJL and the company. YJL filed a cancellation action with SAIC since the trademark law says that no trademark shall prejudice another person's existing prior rights in a trade name or the right to exploit their own famous name. YJL provided substantial evidence to establish his popularity in China before the filing date of the trademark and, on that basis, SAIC rightly cancelled the company's mark as infringing upon the famous name right of YJL.

Chevrolet Volt sales were actually down last month compared to the month before, but it wasn't because people didn't want to buy them.
For now, GM is selling as many Volt's as it can make, which isn't a whole lot. In March, GM sent 300 Volts to dealerships to be used as demonstration cars replacing Volts that were getting too old for the job.
That mean fewer for customers, so GM sold only 493 Volts in April, a drop from over 600 the month before. (April also marked the first month that Nissan's Leaf outsold the Volt.)
While interest in the Volt is probably driven by much more than just gas prices, at least for now, the car's long-range plug-in hybrid technology shows GM is serious about taking the steps needed to get away from gasoline in ways that consumers will accept.

Thank you, OC Latino Link readers.
This will be our final post.
One thing is certain in the news business - change is a constant. And now� it's time for us to move on.
The main reason is a refocusing of our energy. As you've noticed, the Orange County Register is placing more of its resources into its print products. The� contributors to the OC Latino Link blog - Theresa Cisneros, Michael Cisneros and Ron Gonzales - are all a part of that effort.
The blog, born nearly two years ago, was very much a creation of the community it was created to serve. We came up with a variety of options for improving our online coverage of the Latino community of Orange County, and a blog was the preferred option of readers we met with.
More than 1,300 posts later, we will continue to keep the blog alive in the sense that you'll still be able to read the content that was originally published here.
While this is our last post on the blog, this isn't the end of our relationship. Along with our other local coverage, we're committed to providing you with news of Orange County's Latino communities.
You'll be able to find it on the "Latino Link" section of� ocregister.com/news.� The direct link is� ocregister.com/latinolink.
So as we leave the blog behind us, we'll also leave you with our last OC Latino Link song pick of the day.
"Las Golondrinas," sung by Pedro Infante.

Water, Water, Everywhere continued...
"In order to make an educated decision about what water to drink, you have to look to individual vulnerabilities," says Brenda M. Afzal, RN, MS, a specialist from the University of Maryland School of Nursing who has consulted for the government on drinking water standards.
While contaminants found in some municipal sources won't bother the average person, she says, some may be affected.
"Pregnant women, babies, the elderly, people who are immune-compromised, cancer patients, or those on long-term steroidal use may benefit from choosing certain bottled waters over their particular tap water," Afzal tells WebMD.
While she says some municipal water systems are as good or better than some bottled waters -- even for these populations -- if you fall into one of these groups, you should make the effort to find out for sure. And that may not be so easy.
The EPA requires local water systems to tell us what's in our drinking water (usually in a report mailed to your home yearly; some reports are available on the EPA web site). But right now only one bottled water company -- Athena -- reports being approved for immuno-suppressed patients. Finding out how other bottled waters fare may take a bit of digging.
"Write or email the company and ask, and at the very least check the label, to make sure the water is put through some filtration before being bottled," says Afzal. "Look for the voluntary NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification or at least a state certification that the water is meeting certain standards of purity."
No matter how pure the source is, Afzal says, contamination can also occur at the bottling plant, so certifications are vital.
What You Want, When You Want It
Health vulnerabilities aside, experts say that sometimes, bottled water can also give you something municipal water can't -- a choice.
A case in point is fluoridation -- the process of adding the chemical fluoride to municipal water systems to help protect teeth. But not everyone agrees it's helpful or even safe -- and that's where Kay says bottled water can help everyone get what they want.

Children's Crusade - Color Battle by BDStevensWatch

Had this idea from the first time I saw these lines. Took a while for everything to come together. I'm pretty happy with it and pretty happy to be sneaking in under the deadline for Battle Artist yet again.

Hey, is there a chance these inks/flats are around on the internet still somewhere? D:
This was a round that was done for Battle Artist. I'm sure the flats are still in Trinity's gallery.
This is a lovely, lovely colour job. But there's something weird going on with Rogue, who has half of her legs in a strange gray.
I see what you mean. Not sure how that happened... I did a lot of layers right at the end with the dust and the background... I wonder if one of my masks got offset incorrectly.
I love the autumn leaves and great job w Gambits light reflecting off of Iceman
really love what you've done with the colours on this one mate.
storm and gambit's energy really add to the peice.
storm and gambit's energy really add to the peice.
Thanks a lot. It was a fun one to do, but a good one to have done. I'm really starting to love the new brushes in CS6.
I love the lighting on the buildings in the background as well as your entire pallet.
Thanks! I hadn't realized how closely I followed your pallet from last round until I went and took a peek just now. Great minds I guess.
too true tis the season, the lighting and all the rendering on this is really good though kudos.
Those trees, and Piotr's face are outstanding.

I love the Asiatic features in the first one a bit more but improved anatomy details and stuffs so nice done!
Stunning improvement! Which timeframe?
if i didnt remember wrong i think my old one is 2009,the new one is now,2012 :>
nice! looks a lot more realistic on the second one but the first one is really good too
wow, love the re-make. gorgeous!
i like the old one. XD
wow this is great work
love the improvement.
Did she change races? The original seems asian, and the new one doesn't.
Call it ethnicity, race is degrading and inappropriate.
To be sure I looked it up, and as I thought ethnicity relates more to cultural than physiological differences. Race is the right word to use in this context and is not in and of itself a hurtful word.
Maybe I made a mistake about English but I am sure that if I use that same word in french it is not correct and degrades people by putting them into skin-color classes. And remember that freedom of speech only applies when the people's freedom is respected as well which wasn't the case in my understanding of that word.
hi,everyone,thanks for all of you like my work,basicly i just try to improve my drawing skill on face...this two done by my imagination,is just show the anatomy about the face, doesnt plan to draw an asian girl or other race. comment is always welcome and thanks for the comment. :>
It's called freedom of speech. Race is neither degrading nor inappropriate, and ethnicity doesn't even mean the same thing.
what's degrading about races? Oo
what's degrading about races? Oo
beautiful improvent O_O

Sing-a-ma-jigs hands-on
Mattel, aside from launching Angry Birds the board game, and Hot Wheels video cameras, is about to bring Sing-a-ma-jigs, launched in the US last year to the UK to infect small children up and down the land with their musical love.
To those who have no idea what a Sing-a-ma-jig is (don't worry we didn't at first either until this hands-on), a Sing-a-ma-jig a singing bear that comes in a variety of different colours that sings to you when you press its tummy.
Every Sing-a-ma-jig, Mattel tells us, has three modes of play; chatter, sing their own song, or sing in harmony with other Sing-a-ma-jigs.
The idea is that if you collect more (clever those marketing types aren't they), then you can get them singing in perfect harmony every time. The more you have the better it sounds we are told.
We had two (lucky as I've got two children) to play with and my 3 and 5 year old have already grabbed them for their own.
Costing £12.99 and available in the next couple of weeks from all good toy shops up and down the land there is a big hidden button on the tummy that you press that opens the bear's mouth and noise comes out. Parents be warned though, there is no volume switch.
A button in the bears left paw changes the mode and so far they've been a big hit with my kids.
What do they do with them? Press that tummy over and over again to get the music out of the bear like one Pavlov's dogs looking to get more food.
Powered by a single AA battery, which comes in the box, the bears are well made, cuddly (although they do have a hard tummy and head) and pretty cute.

Degree of Threat: B : Moderately threatened throughout its range, communities provide natural resources that when exploited alter the composition and structure of the community over the long-term, but are apparently recoverable
Comments: Logging of older trees and hollow snags eliminates nest and roost habitat. "Forest health" management activities that reduce incidence of heartrot and aerial insects would also reduce potential habitat and prey. Factors that reduce abundance of Pileated Woodpeckers may in turn reduce cavity availability and impact swifts. Logging reduced old-growth habitats in the Pacific Northwest (Bull and Beckwith 1993). In California, where the species occurs in greatest abundance in coastal redwood forests, less than 10% of the original old-growth redwood forests remain (Sterling and Paton 1996). To a much lesser extent, swifts may be losing nesting possibilities where brick chimneys are replaced with insulated pipe or covered with screen spark-arresters (Bull and Collins 1993). Large migratory roosts in chimneys may be lost when chimneys are covered or replaced, or birds may even be killed by inadvertent use of the chimneys' furnaces, etc. (Eshbaugh 2000). Activities such as pesticide spraying that impact aerial insects could decrease food availability, but no data available.

Note To Thunder: Give Griffin His Moment
Here's some advice for the Thunder.
Let Blake Griffin have his moment tonight. Let the Oklahoma City crowd cheer and cheer till its collective hearts are content when Griffin's name is announced during pre-game introductions. Let Griffin be the last Los Angeles Clippers starter announced and let some time pass before turning down the lights for the Thunder.
Griffin deserves it.
The team's policy, though, is to "treat all visiting player introductions the same," according to a Thunder official. The team doesn't "do anything different for any one player."
Here's the thing. Griffin isn't just any other player. Griffin grew up in Oklahoma City. He starred just down the road at OU. He's become an All-Star and one of the league's most electrifying players just 56 games into his career. And he's well on his way to running away with the Rookie of the Year award.
The Thunder can't turn a blind eye to all of that.
Since relocating from Seattle, the Thunder has been incredibly in tune to the ins and outs of the Oklahoma City community. Tonight's highly anticipated game presents another opportunity for the franchise to demonstrate that awareness. Griffin holds a special place in people's hearts. He might not play for the home team but he is the most acclaimed hometown kid the NBA has ever seen.
The Thunder has dared to be different in many ways. Game nights still begin with a prayer, continuing a tradition established by the Hornets, who are the only other franchise to honor His holiness before tip-off. Reserving a few extra seconds for this state's newest NBA son isn't in any way unreasonable. Not for this night.
This is Griffin's pro debut in his hometown. He was hurt, nursing a season-long knee injury, when the Clippers came to town last year. The time to treat Griffin like any other player is when L.A. returns on April 2, not tonight.
Griffin has tried to deflect the attention. He says tonight is not about him. That, of course, is baloney. This game is all about Griffin. Fans have had Feb. 22 circled on their calendars since August. And now that it's here, the roar that fills the arena formerly known as the Ford Center could likely be louder for Griffin than Thunder star Kevin Durant.
Griffin said throughout All-Star Weekend that he hasn't thought much about the reception he'll receive, saying "hopefully they're welcoming." On Tuesday morning at his team's shoot-around, Griffin still wasn't quite sure how he would show his appreciation for applause that is sure to be more than a little welcoming.
"Maybe a little wave," Griffin said.
Here's hoping the Thunder sets aside ample time during pre-game intros for more than a little wave. The moment is much too big for that.

Fed Delays Release Of Latest POMO Schedule Due To "Technical Problems"
From Reuters: "NY Fed delays release of latest treasury purchase schedule due to technical problems." And this from the people who run the world and monetize a trillion+ in debt per year? Why doesn't the Fed tell us the true reason for the delay: Primary Dealer Bank Holding Company Hedge Fund XYZ is holding up the release of data until the exclusive of bond allocations to said bailed out hedge fund is ironed out in exchange for various recent commodity downgrade research reports?
(we jest... maybe).
In the meantime perhaps it is time for the FRBNY to splurge for a couple of Borg drone interns from the Ivy League: NYU is proving dramatically inept at running the world. And a Bloomberg terminal too...

More obvious fraud and no uprising. People deserve what they get.
By "Technical Problems" they mean problems convincing foreign entities that printing money and bailing out failures is a good thing.
Goldman tells NYU interns what's up
Un-Sackin' believable!
Now its become "you don't tell us - we tell you"
Wow, just wow.
The NYU geniuses do not want the Market to price in the next few hundred billion worth of debt monetization yet, because Goldman is enjoying B'nTF'nD.
Tyler, you're so cynical. Clearly the system admin upgraded all the Fed's Windows computers overnight to I.E. 9 and in the process dumped all the cookies, favorites and passwords in one big crash. Retrieval of the back up off of 3.5 inch floppies is going slowly.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled POMO.
So...when you run out of buyers...thats what you call it. Technical Difficulties.
Or was that technical Defaults??
I say POMO cancelled mid stream - but they are afraid to tell us...
It really is probably because they cant figure out how to open the spreadsheet or they are waiting on the.geek squad to fix the pc.
I have seen how these high level government operations run. Brian sacks probably has to do it all himself because it is not in his secretary's job description. He probably had to make his own phone call to the.computer repair guy and stay on hold for thirty minutes during a bond auction
So what? Bernanke will fix this in 15 minutes.
did they run out of paper????

And more specifically, is there anything approximating an "environmental humanities canon," and who are […]

Doll: Raven by KSapphire8989Watch
©2012-2016 KSapphire8989
Artist's note: I'm sorry this took me awhile to get up but things have been a bit crazy on my end and my birthday weekend just past. So...yea. This was a doll created awhile and well. now I finally got it to come to life. Since I didn't like the way it looked before hand. This Zombie doll a tough cookie who is a mini-giantess that is looking for a bit of affection here and there. She doesn't say much since she can't at all. Since she is a mute and all. She loves to hang with her father And her fellow sisters. She often keeps to herself with her torso bounded in bandages, she rather prefer them over panties any how. Also there are times where you can see a little kiss mark on her backside. Its a little something that Rachel did once Raven was created. You can say practical joke.

Adam Yauch, aka MCA, announced some terrible news today. The Beastie Boys upcoming tour has been canceled. Their next album postponed. MCA has cancer.
"The reason we're here talking is because I have some pretty heavy news to say," Yauch said in the video. "About two months ago, I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like what you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that… and so I didn't really think it was anything. But then recently, when we were over in Europe doing promotion, I started to think that I should talk to my doctor, so I ... saw him when I got back, and he sent me to a specialist. They did tests, and I actually have a form of cancer in the gland that's over here, in the parotid gland, and it's also in the lymph node right in that area."
Fortunately, the worst news here is really that I won't get to see the Beasties at the Hollywood Bowl in September. Yauch is expected to make a full recovery. Godspeed, Beastie.
"It's a setback," Yauch says, sounding remarkably apologetic for hassling us fans. "It's a pain in the ass, but this is something that is treatable."
G-E-T-L-I-V-E, aight?
After the jump, it's a "Sabotage":

Oracle Corp. announced today that it would acquire Sun Microsystems, one of Colorado's largest private employers, for $9.50 a share, or about $7.4 billion.
Excluding Sun's cash and debt, the deal has a net value of $5.6 billion, the companies said.
The agreement comes two weeks after talks between Sun and IBM ended. Analysts had speculated that a Sun and IBM marriage would have led to job cuts for Sun's workforce in Broomfield. It's unclear what kind of impact Oracle's acquisition of the computer server and data storage company will have on the local workforce.
Outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas said layoffs could be coming to Sun.
"Sun announced 6,000 job cuts in November and could see more job loss as the combined entity seeks cost savings and positions itself against its chief rivals, IBM and HP," Challenger said in a release.
Sun chief executive Jonathan Schwartz told employees in an email today that details on integration plans would be forthcoming.
"This is one of the toughest emails I've ever had to write," he said. "It's also one of the most hopeful about Sun's future in the industry."
He added later, "I do not consider the announcement to be the end of the road."
Sun does not disclose local employment totals. Analysts estimate that the company's campus in the Interlocken business park in Broomfield has about 2,000 workers, down from about 3,500 in 2007 following several rounds of layoffs nationwide.
The deal represented a 42 percent premium over Sun's closing price of $6.69 on Friday.
Oracle is best known as an enterprise software maker. Last year, the company began a flirtation with the hardware market.
It started reselling a server computer from HP that relied on its software for managing and analyzing large volumes of data.
Oracle co-founder and chief executive Larry Ellison Sun co-founder and chairman Scott McNealy have been two of Silicon Valley's closest allies over the last 20 years. Their companies turned into two of the superstars of the Internet build out, and both executives made ribbing rival Microsoft a favored pastime.
"This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event," McNealy said.
McNealy and Ellison both gave keynote speeches in Colorado earlier this decade as part of former Gov. Bill Owens' annual technology summits.
When Oracle acquired software rival PeopleSoft and its 2,000 workers in Colorado in 2005, the company promptly cut 600 jobs locally. More cuts came a year later. PeopleSoft acquired Denver-based J.D. Edwards in 2003.
Oracle said today that it doesn't break out its employment by location.

thanks for the help tidus n.n and since you finished the game does it has multiple endings like rorona no atelier
thanks for the help tidus n.n and since you finished the game does it has multiple endings like rorona no atelier
Yes, there are "bad ending" , "normal ending" and "true ending". And, of course, characters' epilogues.
I got a normal ending. It's a bit more different than Rorona, it's more battle - focused and there's no way you'll get True ending without FAQs
forgot to post, besides the horrible text formatting issues (that were noted before) the korean version works.
Is the eboot in the first post the newest version? It works for me, but the text seems to go off screen sometimes. I'm guessing there's no easy way to fix that?
Now, I'm not sure how off the padding is, as on my screen I get messages that end halfway through the sentence.
Yeah, there's no easy way to fix that, because JAP eboot has static buffer length - 20 characters. For jap. characters this is OK, they are wide and 3 bytes each (UTF-8), but english ANSI characters are more narrow that's why there's such strange padding
From the end of Year 3 I don't hear Cordelia's voice in events, there is only text... also I never heard his father's voice (but I thought that may be intentional?), is this a common problem ?
Followed all the instructions, but text still remains in Japanese. Has anyone else had this problem, or know a fix possibly?
saito1234, About Cordelia voice - I didn't notice it, maybe it's missing, maybe not. Father's voice is really missing, didn't hear a word from him.
TheGreatNeko, you maybe doing something wrong. Try launching any other game from original BD, then repeat the "hack process"
Followed all instructions down to a science, yet text remains in japanese upon launch.
Also, the download link for the eboot isn't anywhere on this page. In addition, after looking on identical copies of this page via Google, there's an eboot link that actually is listed, yet the file's name is listed as "Atelier_Rorona_EBOOT_V01.zip". After downloading the file, it's password protected.
If possible, it would be appreciated if all proper instructions were listed from this page to make the process less complicated for those of us like myself that can't understand/or having difficulty running the game.
Edit: Apologies, just saw the password in the article.

Intranuclear rod myopathy
Intranuclear rod myopathy
On this page:
Reviewed April 2012
What is intranuclear rod myopathy?
Intranuclear rod myopathy is a disorder that primarily affects skeletal muscles, which are muscles that the body uses for movement. People with intranuclear rod myopathy have severe muscle weakness (myopathy) and poor muscle tone (hypotonia) throughout the body. Signs and symptoms of this condition are apparent in infancy and include feeding and swallowing difficulties, a weak cry, and difficulty with controlling head movements. Affected babies are sometimes described as "floppy" and may be unable to move on their own.
The severe muscle weakness that occurs in intranuclear rod myopathy also affects the muscles used for breathing. Individuals with this disorder may take shallow breaths (hypoventilate), especially during sleep, resulting in a shortage of oxygen and a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Frequent respiratory infections and life-threatening breathing difficulties can occur. Because of the respiratory problems, most affected individuals do not survive past infancy. Those who do survive have delayed development of motor skills such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking.
The name intranuclear rod myopathy comes from characteristic abnormal rod-shaped structures that can be seen in the nucleus of muscle cells when muscle tissue is viewed under a microscope.
How common is intranuclear rod myopathy?
Intranuclear rod myopathy is a rare disorder that has been identified in only a small number of individuals. Its exact prevalence is unknown.
What genes are related to intranuclear rod myopathy?
Intranuclear rod myopathy is caused by a mutation in the ACTA1 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called skeletal alpha (α)-actin, which is part of the actin protein family. Actin proteins are important for cell movement and the tensing of muscle fibers (muscle contraction). Thin filaments made up of actin molecules and thick filaments made up of another protein called myosin are the primary components of muscle fibers and are important for muscle contraction. Attachment (binding) and release of the overlapping thick and thin filaments allows them to move relative to each other so that the muscles can contract.
ACTA1 gene mutations that cause intranuclear rod myopathy result in the accumulation of rods of skeletal α-actin in the nucleus of muscle cells. Normally, most actin is found in the fluid surrounding the nucleus (the cytoplasm), with small amounts in the nucleus itself. Researchers suggest that the ACTA1 gene mutations that cause intranuclear rod myopathy may interfere with the normal transport of actin between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, resulting in the accumulation of actin in the nucleus and the formation of intranuclear rods. Abnormal accumulation of actin in the nucleus of muscle cells and a corresponding reduction of available actin in muscle fibers may impair muscle contraction and lead to the muscle weakness seen in intranuclear rod myopathy.
In some people with intranuclear rod myopathy, no ACTA1 gene mutations have been identified. The cause of the disorder in these individuals is unknown.
Read more about the ACTA1 gene.
How do people inherit intranuclear rod myopathy?
Intranuclear rod myopathy is an autosomal dominant condition, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. Most cases are not inherited; they result from new mutations in the gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family.
Where can I find information about diagnosis or management of intranuclear rod myopathy?
These resources address the diagnosis or management of intranuclear rod myopathy and may include treatment providers.
You might also find information on the diagnosis or management of intranuclear rod myopathy in Educational resources and Patient support.
General information about the diagnosis and management of genetic conditions is available in the Handbook. Read more about genetic testing, particularly the difference between clinical tests and research tests.
To locate a healthcare provider, see How can I find a genetics professional in my area? in the Handbook.
Where can I find additional information about intranuclear rod myopathy?
You may find the following resources about intranuclear rod myopathy helpful. These materials are written for the general public.
You may also be interested in these resources, which are designed for healthcare professionals and researchers.
What other names do people use for intranuclear rod myopathy?
For more information about naming genetic conditions, see the Genetics Home Reference Condition Naming Guidelines and How are genetic conditions and genes named? in the Handbook.
What if I still have specific questions about intranuclear rod myopathy?
Where can I find general information about genetic conditions?
The Handbook provides basic information about genetics in clear language.
These links provide additional genetics resources that may be useful.
What glossary definitions help with understanding intranuclear rod myopathy?
actin ; autosomal ; autosomal dominant ; cell ; contraction ; cytoplasm ; gene ; hypotonia ; inherited ; motor ; muscle cells ; muscle tone ; mutation ; myosin ; nucleus ; oxygen ; prevalence ; protein ; respiratory ; rods ; tissue
