In which forum should I ask Epson questions?
Forum: Printers from Epson [3]
Where can I find a table of working Epson printers?
http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Epson [4]
Why does using psnup -2 and -4 causes the image to "slide up?"
This is a known, unsolved problem. There is a simple
workaround, because CUPS has an internal
function for N-up printing.
http://www.cups.org/sum.html [5] to see how N-up works under CUPS.
How do I print escape codes?
Many of the Stylus inkjets are purely raster graphics printers.
The do not support the standard Epson ESCP/2 command set of the
older 9/25 pin impact printers. They also have new commands for
controlling ink drop sizes, 6 colors, etc. Most of them will print
ASCII with a fixed width font. Newer Stylus's (740 and onward)
need a special sequence before they recognize data on their inputs.
How do I monitor the ink levels in the printer?
There are two ways.
First, there is a new library and command line tool available here:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/libinklevel/ [6]
Second, With mtink [7], or you can also
escputil -iur /dev/lp0 escputil -iur /dev/usb/lp0
The option -iur is for USB printers. Use -u for
parallel printers. If in doubt escputil --help
How do I get the TWAIN driver working?
TWAIN is a Windows driver. We deal with
GNU/Linux issues. Goodbye!
Why is the output is shifted up and left on the paper?
This may be because you specify the paper size as A4, but at
some stage of the filtering, it is converted to Letter.
Configure both CUPS and your application for the same page size.
This behavior has also been reported when a text file is printed
from the command line without specifying paper size.
How do I print black without an installed color cartridge?
You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge empty.
Before printing, replace the empty cartridge.
This is not a feature of the GNU/Linux driver, this is is a designed
behaviour with the Epson printers that cannot be changed in software.
How can I print with QuadTone inks?
http://www.harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html [8]
How can I generate a test pattern?
There is a test pattern generator in the gimp-print
package, located in src/testpattern. The program is
not built by default. You should pass --with-testpattern on the
command line. There is a script file for the pattern generator called
The test pattern generator in 4.3 can print 16-bit CMYK or printer-raw
images ("printer-raw" means that e. g. you can print in 6 colors on a
6-color printer) using a special file format.
Epson ESC/POS for Point of Sale and Receipt Printers
Where can I get a sample program implementing ESC/POS?
You can
see a sample program [9]
or download it:
pos_main.c [10]
This is what it looks like.
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include <config.h> #endif #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[1] [11]) { int fp; char cBuf[64], cOut[2] [12]; printf("Hi, welcome\n Press <ENTER> to finish"); fp = open("/dev/ttyS0",O_WRONLY); printf("fp = %i",fp); write(fp,"\n\n\n\n",4); write(fp,"Hello World\n\n\n\n\n",14); write(fp,"\x1D\x56\x01",3); close(fp); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
Is the resolution 5760x720dpi supported?
There are no plans to support this resolution. In practice, it would
offer no advantage over 2880x720; the 4 picolitre drops are plenty large
enough to create solid density at 2880x720 DPI, and packing more
resolution in already high resolution dimension isn't going to achieve any
visible improvement.
If you want to try 2880x1440 (which would at least
give you more vertical resolution), you can try using the Epson 925 driver. If
you really want higher resolution, get the 960, which offers 2880x1440
with 2 picolitre drops; this really does offer visible improvement over
the 820, but even on that printer there's awfully little difference in
output quality between 2880x1440 and 1440x720, which is the next
resolution choice. However, both the 780 and 820 are base model 6-color
printers; there's no reason to do this as an "upgrade".
The printer may not be doing 5760x720dpi in hardware anyway. The Epson
web site always refers to "5760x720 optimized DPI"; there is no explanation as to what
"optimized" means here, but it is perhpas some kind of oversampling being
done in software. This has been tried before, but yielded no positive results.
How do I setup PDQ?
Using the following driver description file.
driver "Raw-Printer" { # This PDQ driver declaration file was generated automatically by # foomatic-rip to allow raw (filter-less) printing. language_driver all { # We accept all file types and pass them through without any changes filetype_regx "" convert_exec { ln -s $INPUT $OUTPUT } } filter_exec { ln -s $INPUT $OUTPUT } }
Let this printer point to the port of your Epson Stylus
Photo 830. Call this printer Photo830raw.
Now you have two definitions for your printer, your old one
Photo830, which you set as the default
printer, is for all jobs from KDE apps, the command line.
The new definition Photo830raw you use for the GIMP. Enter
pdq -P Photo830raw as printing command there.
You may need to add -o raw to the command.
Which drive do I use?
Use the Stylus Photo 830U with the ijsgimpprint driver
for the Stylus Photo 830.
Does the flash card reader work with Linux?
As of Linux 2.4.21pre5 the card reader is recognised as a
USB mass storage device and appears as /dev/sd?1, typically
/dev/sda1 if you don't have other SCSI devices or
USB mass storage devices.
How do I configure for FireWire?
Check whether the printer appears as a SCSI device.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
If so, you need a CUPS version with SCSI backend (the current 1.1.x has it):
Check for the existence of
When you have this file (with or without update of CUPS), restart the
CUPS daemon and do
lpinfo -v
If there is a SCSI entry, this is the entry for your printer. Use this
URI when setting up your print queue.
If this does not help, please post on a Forum of CUPS:
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php [13]
Why can't I print in Black and White?
In some versions of the printer driver (Gimp-Print) the grayscale and
black-and-white are broken, print always in color mode, even if the
document is black-and-white.
This is fixed in recent versions of Gimp-print.
Why does the job stop and the ink light flash?
This is the typical behaviour when a cartridge is empty. Open the lid,
press the leftmost button and see with which cartridge the printhead
stops at the little arrow on the left. This is the empty cartridge.
Press the button again, change the cartridge and then press the button
to get the head back to the right. Now ink is filled into the printhead
which can take some minutes. Do not interupt the electric power for the
printer during this time. Pressing the </tt>On/Off</tt> buttonm is OK, as the
printer finishes the ink filling before going off.
How do I use higher resolution?
Use gimp-print [14].
The default resolution is 360 dpi. The C60
driver will do 1440x720. The C62 driver offers 2880x720.
Why are print jobs rotated 90 degrees?
Try using the lpadmin command as follows
lpadmin -p Epson -m Epson-Stylus_C62-gimp-print.ppd -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E
Why does nothing happen when I try to print?
http://space.tin.it/computer/wvtberti/linux/stp_driver/gs_stp.htm [15]
Why does escputil not print a pattern to align the heads?
It may be that the C82 uses a "soft" head alignment
procedure that we don't support yet.
You can try the mtink [7] utility.
What are good CMY values to make a good gray?
You're going to have a lot of difficulty getting a really accurate gray
with 4.2. You could try boosting the magenta a bit. You might also want
to try 4.3.10, if you're printing from the GIMP; there are additional
(linear) color balance sliders that might give you enough control.
Why do blacks have green tones?
The green cast in dark black tones can be reduced, but only by
cranking up the magenta so much that the rest of the image (skin tones
in particular) gets very bad.
You can do a test print.
Make a 20:1 wide:tall aspect ratio horizontal grayscale
ramp. Print it the width of your paper at the top of the page. If
it's tinted green, add magenta, and so on for the other primaries
Repeat by printing farther down on the same
piece of paper. Five or six iterations should do it, and -- until you
change type of paper or ink -- you're all set. Total expense: Half a
page of paper and the corresponding amount of ink.
Each print has to be should be separately proofed.
Why is the output very stretched out?
Change resolution from 1440x1440 to 2880x720 or 2880x1440.
Do i have to purchase the RIP option?
No, Gimp-print with either CUPS or Foomatic will take care
of the Postscript.
What kernel version do I need to print?
You need at least kernel 2.4.21 (or the current
2.4.21preXX version). Alternatively you can fix your current kernel as
shown on the
Epson Stylus CX3200 printer entry page [16]
on openprinting.org.
Why doesn't the patch on openprinting.org work?
The original author did not specify the kernel version.
It is probably 2.4.20 or newer (an early 2.4.21pre<something>).
What are the steps to get it working?
These steps worked for one person.
1) Go to Epson Website to download their Photo Image Print System
pips [17]
Download the rpm: pips-sc82s-cups-2.6.2-1.i386.rpm
2) Unpack the rpm rpm -Uvh pips-sc82s-cups-2.6.2-1.i386.rpm
You may get messages about libcryto
and libssl 0.9.6 dependencies failing. If the libraries are in
/usr/lib then force install the RPM
rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force pips-sc82s-cups-2.6.2-1.i386.rpm
Upon installing, it will automatically modify the
/etc/service and add an entry for the epson status
monitor ekpstm.
----Start of Modification to /etc/service ----- # written for pips-sc82s-cups cbtd 35586/tcp # pips-sc82-cups end ------End------
This is for the epson status monitor ekpstm.
3) On some systems, you may need to make sure your usb daemon is running.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/usb start
3) To setup the printer, run /usr/local/EPKowa/SC82S/setup
It will ask for the connection type and the printer name
used by CUPS. Answer with the following:
Connection type: /dev/usb/lp0
Printer name: Epson_CX5200
4) Now connect the USB cables, and then turn on the printer. Then load
the printer module: modprobe printer
5) Goto the /dev/usb directory, and you should see lp0
which was automatically created.
ls -la /dev/usb/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 lp sys 180, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/usb/lp0
6) Launch Epson Status Monitor under X: ekpstm
A status window comes up and it should read all the ink cartridge level
(black, cyan, magenta and yellow). In the status field, it should say Ready to print
7) Download EPS ghostscript filter from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18073 [18]
Download: ghostscript-7.05.5-0.i386.rpm and ghostscript-cups-7.05.5-0.i386.rpm.
Install them:
rpm -Uvh ghostscript-7.05.5-0.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh ghostscript-cups-7.05.5-0.i386.rpm
8) Open a browser, and connect to http://127.0.0.1:631/admin [19]
Select the following choices:
Manage Printers" --> "Add Printer"
and input these:
Printer Name: Epson_CX5200 Location: [http://www.openprinting.org/your [20] location here" Description: Epson CX5200 MFP Device: EPSON Inkjet Printer #1 (Photo Image Print System) Make: EPSON Model: EPSON Stylus C80, CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.1-pre5(en)
9) Click Print a Test Page.
10) If it doesn't work, see the error_log FAQ
to continue debugging CUPS.
How do I setup the scanner?
The CX-5200 Scanner part is equivalent to Perfection 1200U.
1) Download Image Scan [21],
which is a backend for SANE. Recommended: iscan-1.4.0-5.i386.rpm.
2) Install the RPM: rpm -Uvh iscan-1.4.0-5.i386.rpm
3) Modify the scanner.c sources, and recompile scanner.o module
Become root or su and edit
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16/mdk/drivers/usb/scanner.c as follows:
find the lines:
if (dev->config[3] [22].bNumInterfaces != 1) { info("probe_scanner: Only one device interface is supported."); return NULL; } and change them so they look like this.
/* if (dev->config[0].bNumInterfaces != 1) { * info("probe_scanner: Only one device interface is supported."); * return NULL; * } */
4) Add a line to scanner.h right after
Perfection 1660 Photo, like this:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x04b8, 0x011e) }, /* Perfection 1660 Photo */ { USB_DEVICE(0x04b8, 0x0801) }, /* CX5200 */
5) Create a new directory for the modules.
mkdir /usr/src/modules
and copy the newly modified "scanner.c" and "scanner.h" to this
cp scanner.c scanner.h /usr/src/modules
6) Change to the linux source directory cd /usr/src/linux
and make sure the following lines are set
to reflect your current Mandriva kernel version.
VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 18 EXTRAVERSION = -8.1mdk
7) Return to the new modules directory cd /usr/src/modules and compile
the modules:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -include \ /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -c scanner.c this will produce a module called scanner.o.
8) gzip scanner.o,gzip scanner.o
9) Now copy the new modules into the modules directory
cp scanner.o.gz /libs/modules/2.4.18-8.1mdk/kernel/drivers/usb
10) Add some lines to /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-180-48 scanner options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0801 11) You should now remove the old scanner.o modprobe -r scanner.o
but if that fails, you can simply reboot to force a reload. After
removing the old module or rebooting, then
insmod scanner
12) Change to the /dev/usb directory /dev/usb
and check that scanner0 is there. It should be automatically
generated by usbfs
root:~>ls -la /dev/usb/scanner0 crw-rw---- 1 root usb 180, 48 Dec 31 1969 /dev/usb/scanner0
13) Edit /etc/sane.d so it looks like this:
epson.conf: (only 1 line) usb /dev/usb/scanner0 dll.conf: (only 2 lines) net epson
14) Run iscan from the Epson Image Scan rpm package. iscan
You can change Resolution to 300dpi and press SCAN button.
You should be able to scan. The scanner can't use
all of the resolution settings. In addition,
Preview does not work.
15) To make it work inside GIMP, make a symbolic link of "iscan" to
ln -s /usr/bin/iscan ~/.gimp-1.2/plugins
The copy function of CX-5200 should work by itself.
You can also try Xsane. It will give you more control over the scanner,
and Gimp should be able to use it immediatly.
Why does the printer output the PostScript source text file?
Instead of using PostScript Level 2, choose one of these
- Epson Stylus CX5200
- Epson Stylus C82
- Epson Stylus C80
If you choose PostScript Level 2 for a non-PostScript printer, you
have to remove the -oraw from the printing command.
Which PPD do I use?
The PPD file that you can download from openprinting.org
won't be correct if you're using the native CUPS driver. You should use
the one in /etc/cups/ppd. Try to use the native CX5200,
C82, or C80 driver in the GIMP plugin.
How do I get Mandriva to load the printer and scanner driver after reboot?
1) Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb around row 188:
if [ "$MOUSE" = "yes" ];then action "Loading USB mouse" /sbin/modprobe mousedev fi if [ "$KEYBOARD" = "yes" ];then action "Loading USB keyboard" /sbin/modprobe keybdev fi if [ "$STORAGE" = "yes" ];then action "Loading USB storage" /sbin/modprobe usb-storage fi if [ "$PRINTER" = "yes" ];then action "Loading USB printer" /sbin/modprobe printer fi if [ "$SCANNER" = "yes" ];then action "Loading USB scanner" /sbin/modprobe scanner fi
2) Edit /etc/sysconfig/usb:
USB=yes KEYBOARD_AT_BOOT=no MOUSE=no KEYBOARD=no STORAGE=yes PRINTER=yes SCANNER=yes
3) Make sure the USB daemon is loaded. This can be done with
Control Tab --> Control Panel --> Control Service Utility
Find the usb daemon, and click on it. When the
Service usb window pops up, make sure
Startup [4] [23] Automatic is selected.
Click Accept.
4) Reboot. The scanner and printer modules should be loaded. Run lsmod
to check.
Which driver do I use?
The driver is Epson's
alc2000 [24]
Is the alc2000 driver already in GhostScript?
Look at the ghostscript drivers from the help output gs -h
If it is not there, then use a recent version of
ESP Ghostscript [25]
Why do we use GhostScript with this PostScript printer?
There is no PPD for it on Epson's site, and with the GhostScript
driver you have more control than with a generic Foomatic PPD.
Epson EPL5700L, EPL5900L, 6100L [26]
Where do I get the latest driver?
http://epsonepl.sourceforge.net/ [27]
Epson LQ-2550 [28]
Why is there print corruption 3/4 down the page?
The serial configuration problem where the printing
is corrupted 3/4 of the way down the page can be sovled by
using the following stty entry in
the /etc/printcap.local
:stty=parenb raw -echo -echoe -echok -onlcr crtscts:\
Apparently doing this will suppress the unwanted output of extra
processing that changes the printer control sequences.
Epson LX-300+
Does this printer work with Free Software?
Yes. Follow the directions for the
IBM ProPrinter II [29].
This printer uses the ibmpro [30] driver.
Epson LX-800
How do I configure text-mode output?
There is a utility available to adjust cpi, font, and a couple
of other things. It may work with other epson printers.

One is six children in this country is said to have a neurodevelopmental disorder and the chiropractic profession is best poised to understand and help these children. Intersect4kids is a program dedicated to teaching doctors that are interested in caring for the minor to the most complex and challenging neurodevelopmental cases. It also focuses on prevention, early detection and early intervention so that this epidemic tide will stop!
Intersect4kids is the ultimate comprehensive program using a "CONNECT" approach: Combining Optimal Neurology, Nutrition, Exercises, and Chiropractic Together to obtain the best possible result for each child. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking skills and clinical case management with topics to include: the neuroimmune, neurogastric, neuroendocrine, and neurosensory systems as well as nutrigenomics. These essential skills along with chiropractic adjusting protocols and management will give attendees the confidence needed to manage a wide range of cases.
Individuals can take each course separately or take the entire program for a certification. The courses provide up-to-date research and clinical case management from some of the most well respected individuals in their field. Because the information taught in the Intersect4kids program is so critical to changing the lives of those that need it most, the program has adopted a "class mentoring" structure for more hands-on and tangible learning. This means that, with the exception of the Integrative Neurofunctional Development Course, all other courses will only be held one to two times per year and will be limited in size. This will place more focused attention on those individuals moving through all of the courses in a given year, allowing them to achieve the highest success with their practice and patients. This "class based structure" also provides for like minded individuals to meet and form alliances as they move through the program together. This leads to invaluable friendships, motivation and support when implementing this extraordinary information into a practice setting.
This program is only for those ready to make profound changes in their community that are beyond their imagination!

Reviewette: Hot Spell Anthology "Falling for Anthony" by Meljean Brook
Venture into a world beyond the ordinary, where the dark passions and voracious appetites of vampires, werewolves, demons, and a few undaunted mortals combine to unleash a potent spell...
Here are lovers to tempt the imagination: Eyes that glitter with keenness born of ancient knowledge. Hands that move with a tenderness belying superhuman strength. Inviting smiles that reveal exquisitely lethal fangs. Rippling, leonine muscles. There's danger in the air...and heat.
Steam rises up off the pages of these four scorching novellas, sensuously crafted by four acclaimed authors who beckon you to slip into the shadows and experience the otherworldly pleasures of the night...
The Guardian Series Book One
While all of Meljean Brook's Guardian novels are set in contemporary times, the novella, "Falling for Anthony", is the one exception. Yet with this exception comes the introduction of a multitude of characters that will ultimately be revisited in the novels to come.
Although "Falling for Anthony" is Brook's only historical, the novella is written so well that one would think this was her subgenre of choice to write. I've found through my reading experiences with Brook that she can seamlessly move back and forth through time and realms. With nary a pause you're flying from the medieval times to the present, from Hell to Earth to Chaos. It's neither jerky nor sudden but rather a water-like flow that at times can be smooth or rapid, but either way it's always consistent.
Emily Ames-Beaumont is disillusioned by love. Her heart has just been broken by the one man that should have wanted - if not been obligated - to protect it: Her father. Angry, hurt and looking to strike back at all her youthful beliefs, Emily hides away in the library to protect any unsuspecting persons from her wrath. But when her lifelong friend, Anthony Ramsdale, walks in, Emily takes the first plunge into the deep end of ruination and obliterates all her former innocence in a fleeting moment of restrained passion.
Anthony is spending his last night with his best friend Colin, Emily's twin, before heading to Spain to repay his debt to their father, the Earl of Norbridge. As a member of the impoverished gentry, Anthony was encouraged by the Earl to pursue a life of trade work as a physician. Although it's frowned upon by both the peerage and the gentry, Anthony was compelled to better his financial status by his own disillusioned dreams of one day making Emily his wife. He's loved her forever despite their rather large age gap, but Emily's fanciful notions of princes and dukes soon found himself seeking more in the hopes that one day she'd look upon him the way he covertly looked upon her. Grateful to the Earl and his much needed help, Anthony knew that one day he'd have to return the favor but he never thought the Earl would request that he go to Spain where death and blood of war awaits.
Although he's shocked by Emily's cunning sexual advances, Anthony does little to stop her from her goal. In his mind, the thought of compromising her for his own gain is tempting but he soon dispels the thought for the Earl would surely crush him into oblivion if he even dared. But Anthony has yearned for Emily for so long that his resistance crumbles under her onslaught even as his confusion escalates over her strange words and bitter emotions. In the end he acknowledges that it was the single most unsatisfying sexual escapade of his life but he promises Emily that when he returns from the continent, he'll make right this horrible wrong. Anthony, still desperate to have her, pushes into the back of his mind her non-committal reply.
It's mere months before Anthony greets death but it's not from anything logical like a bullet but rather by a horrific creature that feeds off fear and blood. A nosferatu.
During the First Battle, the three new orders of beings were determined: the angels, who fought for those Above; the demons, who sided with Morningstar; and the nosferatu, who abstained from the battle until the victor became clear. The demons were thrown down from Heaven, and they made their corrupt mirror in Hell. The nosferatu were not welcomed Above or Below; they are forever denied rest, hunted by angels and demons alike - and now, Guardians.
-The Doyen Scrolls
Falling for Anthony © Meljean Brook
A Guardian, that's what Anthony willingly becomes upon his death. The role is offered by Michael due to the fact that Anthony successfully sacrificed himself to save another against the nosferatu.
Guardians came into existence after the Second Battle. The angels and their appearances on earth were causing humans to worship them as gods. The demons of Below were jealous and launched another attack with the help of a dragon that they brought from Chaos. One being was able to defeat the dragon: The then human Michael. The angels, feeling that it would be better if they remained absent from earth, granted Michael the ability to change courageous humans into Guardians to aid him in protecting mankind from the evils of Hell.
In the ten months since Anthony left and died on the continent, Emily's life has radically changed. She, her twin Colin and their young nephew are all that's left after a terrible fire claimed the lives of the rest their family. No sooner does this happen when she and Colin are attacked by a creature that even Emily can't fully believe is real. Now she sits beside her ailing brother as he battles an unknown disease that is slowly stealing his life. Crushed beneath despair, Emily lets the fight in her go when Colin, in his bizarre craving for blood, attacks her.
Although Guardians typically stay in Caelum - a realm accessed by Gates throughout the world - for a hundred years, Anthony is being sent to Earth to help destroy the nosfertau that has attacked Emily and her family. The reason for Michael's decision is extremely perplexing given that young Guardians can become enthralled on earth, but his reasons matter little to Anthony. All that he can think about is Emily and the danger she's in.
Emily is more than surprised to see Anthony back from the dead, with wings no less, but the fact that he saved her from near death at the hands of her brother and is there to help gives her a shining beacon of hope. Finally she can explain the truth of that night when the creature attacked and turned Colin into a blood thirsty monster. Unfortunately, it soon becomes apparent that a nosferatu isn't the only danger that lurks. A demon is also in residence and Anthony, along with his mentor and fellow Guardian - Hugh, must find it and discover its reasons for being.
Meanwhile, Emily and Anthony find time to reconcile that bitter night so long ago. Emily reveals the sordid truth of the days after Anthony left for Spain and he's soon filled with anger and jealousy but there is also relief that her dalliances were never discovered. Anthony soon realizes that the woman before him isn't the same girl of ten months ago. Although the length of time is short, so much has happened to them both which has ultimately caused them each to re-evaluate their life. With these confessions, passion inevitably follows rekindling a bright and fiery blaze of love. But when the nosferatu is killed, Colin is saved, and the demon discovered, it's time for Anthony to depart. By the time his hundred years in Caelum is up and he can return to the human world, Emily will be long dead unless Anthony can discover a way to stay with his beloved.
"Falling for Anthony" was a great introduction to Meljean Brook's very complex Guardian Series. Heaven and Hell, imaginable differently in everyone's mind, and to break them down into words, much less their inhabitants, is amazing. Brook brings about very recognizable terms and places such as Free Will, Hell and angels but she also introduces new myths and rules that play integral roles in the series. To present these complexities in a hundred and fifty pages is no short of astonishing. The reader isn't ever overburdened and Brook delivers enough tantalizing details to have you picking up the next series installment.
As far as the romance is concerned, "Falling for Anthony" isn't my favorite in the series. And before your thoughts venture into this realm - no, I did not think that the worldbuiling interfered with the romance. Quite the contrary. So, why did the romance fall flat for me? It was Emily. I didn't like her or her behavior towards Anthony. While I do understand that her early motivations were that of a distraught and vengeful child, I couldn't forgive her. I think as romance readers, we're all inclined to be harsher on the heroine than the hero.
Anthony, on the other hand, was wonderful to read. His innocence was tangible and I thought it made learning about Brook's world that much easier. Anthony is a self-sacrificing person and it showed admirably with the choices he made. He's a man of loyalty and honor and Emily was more than lucky to have garnered his utter devotion and love.

QUESTION FOR MELJEAN: The Guardian world is admirably complex. How do you keep your timelines, facts, and the rules of your world organized and accessible?
It's all in my head. Now and then I will have to look something up (for example, the exact year that Hugh found Lilith in Wallachia), but otherwise, the world and the Rules live in my gray matter. I think this is necessary for worldbuilding -- everything has to work together and make sense down to the core, so if I have to look up something like, "Can vampires have children?" in my notes, then I'm in big, big trouble as a writer. I have to know my world inside and out. And that also isn't to say that I don't figure out some aspects of the world as I go along (for example, I always knew HOW the first vampire was created, and roughly when it happened -- but I didn't decide WHO had done it until I was working on my third book). But everything that pops up has to be consistent with what has gone before.
For the first several books, I didn't write it down at all, either. But, since my readers can't live in my head, I did create the Guardian primer, which offers a ton of information about the history of the Guardian world, the timeline, and the beings who populate the world.

Some days, there's not a whole lot of grandfathering stuff to do. We decided to tour the Maryland countryside with our granddaughter, who was shopping for a home nearer her workplace.
The cost of real estate in the greater Washington, D.C., area is outrageous. I guess everything is geared to the cost of living for diplomats, public servants, elected representatives and those looking to get elected.
One lead seemed promising. We saddled up and headed out in search of it like a herd of thirsty horses smelling fresh water from a stream.
You know, fathers are always full of sage advice and catchy phrases.
They gave it to us whether we wanted it or not.
That comes with being the family patriarch. Just like with Uncle Sam, rank does have its privileges. I'm the one who is enjoying giving the advice, now.
I heard my dad, the late Major Evans, say more than once, "Son, nothing comes free. There is always a price to pay."
That's as true now as it was 70 years ago. I'll prove it.
Mrs. Sam Marks had been teaching us Bible stuff in Sunday school class for a while and I was finally starting to get the hang of some of it.
Our latest lessons centered on the 10 Commandments. Most of 'em seem to make sense, but I was having a little trouble understanding just what "Thou shalt not covet" meant.
"It means that we should not wish for things our friends have," she said.
Boy, that one was tough to swallow, especially if what you were coveting was a genuine leather cowboy holster set.
Boy, I didn't see that one coming. I was downright blindsided by the comment.
"You act like girls didn't exist in your long ago 'Remember when' times," a faithful reader said.
Shucks, there were plenty of girls around when I was growing up, but I still preferred playing with Billy Pipkins.
No, I didn't have any sisters. As far as that goes, I was brotherless, too.
But, that's OK.
I had the next worst thing; three girl first cousins.
One thought crossed my mind when Mr. Charlie Caskey wheeled that big Ford into our driveway.
I didn't know why a police officer was at my house. But if I was involved, I'd probably get it as soon as Daddy gets home.
Mr. Charlie opened the back door of the sedan and out jumped good old Tiger, my beloved bulldog.
There was no such thing as a leash law. Nobody needed one, seeing how just about everybody in the neighborhood had a big old dog that ran loose. That's why Mr. Charlie knew exactly where Tiger lived.
The front yards along Chesterfield Avenue were for show.
The back yards – where stuff was stacked out of the sight – were by design.
However, each spring, one portion of our back yards was set aside and marked off for vegetable gardens.
And it was serious business, too. Babbit and Castello even hoed one in the cartoon that was at the old show.
President Roosevelt was on the radio encouraging all of us to do our part by investing in a Victory Garden to reduce the pressure on the World War II food supply.
I had pulled my Radio Flyer wagon all the way from Chesterfield Avenue and down White Street to the back of Parr Brothers Furniture only to be disappointed.
I needed about one side of a cardboard refrigerator carton to finish my secret hideout, but it won't get finished today.
Somebody had beaten me to the treasure; the trash bin was empty as a red clay mudhole in the middle of summer.
– Editor's note: Due to reader requests, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the May 13, 2007, edition of The Lancaster News.
Time never dulls the luster of a mother's love. I rarely addressed my mother – the late Azalee Scott Evans – by the so-called proper name of mother.
She was, and still remains, Mama to me.
She passed away in 1970 at the age of 63.
I was grateful to see warmer weather and the yellow bells and azaleas in bloom. Things were going pretty good until the telephone rang.
Then I was shaken back into reality with the news that a close friend had passed away.
Then almost without warning, three more unexpected deaths reduced my circle of longtime friends.
Someone once remarked that when we pass the age of 65, we began to live on borrowed time.
Frankly, I'm hoping that our Maker will grant me a few more years of leniency on that loan.
The question caught me by surprise.
"Where's your little friend?"
I looked up to see this fella sitting on the stoop of a house in my granddaughter's neighborhood.
I was shocked. To be honest, not too many folks up here in Maryland speak to strangers.
I stopped to explain that I was taking a day off from my usual great-grand baby sitting chores.
"I sorta got the whole day to bum around," I said.

I have a requirement for tracking some usage on a table that will be getting retired in the next year and feel that I could get the pertinent data (stored procedures and in-line sql being used against it) from the transaction logs. I've see some expensive purchased options out there for reading the logs but I was wondering if anybody knew of any opensource solutions or some sample code of how to parse these logs?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Logs are proprietary and those solutions are expensive because it is not simple and the average person does not know how to do it. Since you're using SQL Server 2008, have you considered some other more accessible options, such as:
I wrote about some of these here (before 2008 was released):
There are several SQL Server functions and commands (e.g. fn_dblog, fn_dump_dblog, and DBCC PAGE) that potentially provide a way to view the transaction log file content. However, significant knowledge of T-SQL is required to use them, some are undocumented, and the results they provide are difficult to be converted to a human-readable format. Following are the examples of viewing LDF file content using SQL Server functions and commands:
1.Here is an example using fn_dblog to read an online transaction log, with a result of 129 columns (only 7 shown here)
2.The fn_dump_dblog function is used to read transaction log native or natively compressed backups. The result is similar:
Unfortunately, no official documentation is available for fn_dblog and fn_dump_dblog functions. To translate the columns, you need to be familiar with the internal structure and data format, flags and their total number in a row data
3.DBCC PAGE is used to read the content of database online files – MDF and LDF. The result is a hexadecimal output, which unless you have a hex editor, will be difficult to interpret
So, there are different ways to open a transaction log file, and most of them do just that – opens it. It's tricky to get any human readable information and make a use of it though

Post subject: The Veranda- a new romantic/literary erotica short story
Hi all,
I am e-publishing my short called called
The Veranda
on Kindle today. It follows the story of Sophia, a new sales employee at a tech company and John, the vice president. It is about 32 pages and is available for 99 cents. If you have Amazon Prime you can read the whole story for free. Below is an excerpt. Please "like" it on Facebook if you do. Thank you for your read.
The telephone conference ended a few minutes later and he walked out and went down the hall. It was almost seven at night and almost all of the people in the office were already gone. The hallway lights were on, but the offices were dark and the janitors were beginning to clean. The light was on in the copy room and he looked in. She was standing next to the copier, hands on her hips, leaning over it. She huffed and blew her hair out of her way. She was wearing a form fitting pencil skirt that showed off her curves. He paused to stare at her.
Hey you, he said.
She turned around and her hair swung over her shoulder. She had taken it down after she finished work. He had startled her.
Hey, she said. She moved her hair out of her face. I was just making a copy to take back with me. But apparently, I dont know how to use this thing.
She smiled. He walked up to the machine and lifted the lid. He hadnt personally made a copy in years, but he thought he could help in the way that men were naturally better with machines.
She was crouching down looking at the feeder and he went on his knee next to her. He could smell her perfume and he felt it distract him. She had a scent that was a mix of a warm day in the Mediterranean and a garden at night. It wasnt any one perfume, but the way her hair and her body and her cologne smelled together.
Her breasts brushed against his arm as she was showing him where she thought the paper was stuck. He noticed it immediately, but she was concerned with permanently jamming up the machine and wasnt paying attention.
He thought about grabbing her by her tiny waist and throwing her down on the floor of the room. He wanted to feel her heavy hair around him and bury his face in her neck, never to be seen again. He could picture her staring up at him with half closed eyes while lying on the floor. He would slide her skirt up and take her panties down. He would kiss down her leg to discover she was already wet and waiting for him. He wanted to quiet her moans so they wouldnt be discovered. He wanted to take her fully clothed and leave together like nothing had happened, just a little disheveled.
He felt himself getting aroused at the thought. He suddenly stood up looking at the copier. He put his hand down to help her up. He opened up the lid and then closed it and the copier started.
Oh, she said. She laughed self-consciously, feeling stupid. She tucked her hair behind her ear, but a strand came down in her face.
Its okay, he said.
He reached out and stroked her errant hair back. He couldnt help but touch her. He had touched her so many times in his mind. Her hair was still in his hand. He felt like kissing her and so he abruptly excused himself in such a way that it made her laugh. She had just seen him be flustered and she was one of only a handful of people who had ever seen that sight.
He paused at the doorway and turned around and smiled at her. He slapped the door frame on the way out doubting his lost moment with her but knowing that it was for the best. Not only was she an employee with the company but he knew she was young and he was married.

Post subject: The link and a second excerpt
Here is the link:
Here is another excerpt:
They arrived at the hotel and he opened the door. He stood up and then turned to help her out of the car. He took her hand in his and she felt that same fit that she had felt when they first met. They walked silently holding hands until they were in the building and she dropped his hand. They lingered in the lobby.
Do you want to have a nightcap? she asked.
Sure, he said. He knew that neither of them needed another drink, but he wanted more time with her.
There was a small bar to the left of the lobby. He went to the bar and ordered two drinks for them. He didnt ask her what she wanted and she liked that he took control. She sat at a small table waiting for him, her drunkenness taking away any anxiety or discomfort. He came back with two snifters of Sambuca. He stared at her with an intense stare.
Neither of them said anything. They just looked at each other admiring what they saw.
What do you want? she asked. She raised her eyebrow at him as she said it.
I want you. He said it as if there couldnt be another answer.
Of course, she said. She looked away and smiled.
Well, every man wants you.
Is that so?
Isnt it obvious? he said. You know I am right.
He was staring into her eyes. She leaned in and put her face up to his. She was enjoying the conversation.
What do you want from me? she said.
She leaned forward. She said it in a whispering voice, her lips near his face.
Everything, he said.
Thats not a real answer, she said. She leaned back and laughed. Her legs were between his under the table.
What specifically? she asked.
He smiled at her and brought his drink to his mouth. He finished his drink and got up from his chair. He stood next to her and put his lips on her ear and whispered. She smelled the licorice scent of Sambuca all around her, mixed with his cologne that was equally as intoxicating.
I want you to get up and come to my suite with me. I want you staring up at me on your knees. I want to tear this new dress right off of your perfect, flawless body. I want to taste you. I want you to spread your legs wide for me. I want you begging me to stop while urging me for more. I want to give it to you until you pass out from pleasure. I want you sleeping in my arms and waking up to me ravaging you all over again.
She was stunned.
In no particular order, of course, he said. He took a sip of her drink.

Early Runs, Solid Pitching Guides Baseball to 11-1 Win at UNC-Greensboro
Box Score
An early offensive rally combined with seven shutout innings guided the Princeton baseball team to an 11-1 victory over UNC-Greensboro Sunday to wrap up the three-game series. Due to rain the game was called following the eighth inning.
The Tigers quickly got to work and went up 5-0 in the top of the first. Princeton capitalized on three hits and three walks, along with three wild pitches and two passed balls to establish its initial advantage.
Freshman pitcher Keelan Smithers earned the starting nod, fanning four over his 7.0 innings of work. He scattered five hits, a walk and a run in 27 batters faced in his first career victory.
While Princeton added another run in the second and Smithers held the Spartans without a hit until the fifth, Princeton continued to pounce in the top half of the frame. A Tyler Servais two-RBI single and a Danny Baer two-RBI double put the Tigers up 10-0.
Princeton's offense continued to be productive down the stretch, adding another run on a Servais sacrifice fly in the sixth, before UNCG broke up the shutout in the bottom half of the inning.
Servais finished going 1-for-2 with three RBI, two walks and two runs.
The Tigers held a 13-6 hit advantage, but did commit two errors in the game.
Paul Tupper was perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two RBI, a run and a walk, while Danny Hoy was 3-for-5 with two runs. Rounding out Princeton's multi-hit performances was Nick Hernandez who went 2-for-4 with three runs and a walk.
Princeton (3-7) will now prepare for a string of midweek games versus North Carolina (Mar. 18), Duke (Mar. 19) and Maine (Mar. 20).

Women's Volleyball
News: Season Preview: To'omalatai Center of 2013 Women's Volleyball Attack
It's one thing to take over a women's volleyball program at the California Community College level as an interim head coach, but even more is at stake when the person inherits a perennial state top 10 team like Pasadena City College. That's the life of Bill Sanchez, a 5-time conference champion badminton coach for the Lancers, who took over the PCC volleyball team this season. He is filling in for South Coast Conference Co-Coach of the Year Tammy Silva, who is taking a sabbatical from coaching for the 2013-14 school year.
Sanchez made it clear that he is going to need to rely on a few of the returning sophomores from a 2012 PCC squad that shared the SCC title with El Camino. The Lancers went 21-5 last year, reaching the third round of regionals before being eliminated by eventual state champion Los Angeles Pierce.
"I relish the challenge of keeping the Lancers up there with the best in the state," Sanchez said. "We are fortunate to have a couple of outside hitters with experience, including an all-conference player like Nora To'omalatai. Thula Parks is going to also help with the leadership aspect on the floor. They both have a year of play under their belts and know now what it takes to be successful, playing with many great teammates a year ago. Nora is a great talent and we hope to make her our go-to player on offense."
To'omalatai (pronounced To-oh-mull-uh-tie) led the Lancers in kills last season with 254 and she also topped PCC in service aces with 47. The 5-foot-8, Monrovia High product posted a 3.02 kills average and .355 hitting percentage were among the leaders in the conference as a freshman.
On Friday, PCC opened up the 2013 season with two victories at the Rio Hondo Quad Tournament. The Lancers defeated host Rio Hondo in four games, 25-21, 22-25, 25-19, 25-18. PCC then rallied from a 2-1 games deficit in knocking off Victor Valley in five, 25-21, 21-25, 24-26, 25-12, 15-11.
In the VVC win, PCC responded to a loss in set 3 by roaring to a 13-point win in set 4 to send the match to a deciding fifth game. The Lancers never trailed in the final set and capped it with a Kendra Logan (5-10 freshman middle blocker from Maranatha High) block to give Sanchez his second collegiate volleyball head coaching win on his debut day in directing the sport at PCC.
"We showed resiliency in that Victor Valley match," Sanchez said. "You never know how you are going to respond when you fall behind. But we came out fired up for game 4, and pretty much carried the play the rest of the match. For me, it was good to just play a match because you don't see things clearly in practice. We need to keep working hard and hustling around that court."
To'omalatai pounded 23 kills while Parks (5-6, South Hills) added 16 kills and 20 digs in the VVC match. Against Rio Hondo, To'omalatai recorded a double-double with 18 kills and 10 digs to go with three aces. Parks had eight kills and four aces while returning player from 2011 Tiffany Roesler (5-9, Covina High) contributed 36 assists and five blocks at the setter spot. Roesler tallied four aces in the Victor Valley triumph.
Starter Briana Hilton (5-7 right-side hitter, Charter Oak), who recorded 12 kills in the two matches, and reserve Yvette Corral (5-7 opposite, Polytechnic) are the only other returning players on Sanchez roster.
So far out of the freshmen corps, Logan is joined by Angela Banuelos, a 5-8 middle blocker from Monrovia as key regulars in the Sanchez rotation. Banuelos totaled nine kills in the Victor Valley match after showing her blocking prowess v. Rio Hondo with seven blocks (two solos).
The rest of the Lancer' 2013 roster is made up of 5-4 libero Saige Spence (Pasadena HS), 5-4 defensive specialist Angelica Reyes (Covina), 5-7 outside hitter Alana Valdez (Rosemead), 5-1 defensive specialist Samantha Flores (Glendale Hoover), 5-5 setter Nancy Lopez (Rosemead), 5-4 defensive specialist Victoria Arreola (San Marino), 5-8 defensive specialist Karla Flores (Azusa), and 5-3 defensive specialist Monica Corral (Monrovia).
Sanchez has brought on Kari Post as an assistant coach. Post was a former star setter at West Virginia University after performing as the CIF Northern Section MVP while at Sutter Union High. Her mother, Thea Post, was a long-time head coach (now retired) at Yuba College. Last season, Post was an assistant on the Citrus College staff.

Hey need a favor. In the Red Sox Redraft forum you are a mod, I only have TM powers. Can you delete the first 3 picks in the draft thread. I need you to physically remove them, so I can insert another post for the actual draft list because AI only made one post for the draft list. Its going to take at least two posts. I will make a post for the 3 picks that you deleted.
I am going to ask SI for mod powers in their.
Hey man, do you mind merging "Shameful Food Loves" and "Food Guilty Pleasures" in the food forum? I didn't notice that there was such a similar thread when I made mine.

Whether your skin has always been on the dry side or arrived there after menopause, a parched complexion tends to age the fastest of all skin types (sigh). So your goal is to moisturize as much as possible, tricking your skin into feeling normal—and loading up on the age-defying treatments. Because your skin is moisture deprived, every product you choose should boast extra emollience.
CLEANSE Use a cream-based, alcohol-free cleanser that leaves your face soft (so it's clean but not squeakily so). USE AM AND PM.
HYDRATE David Colbert, MD, a New York dermatologist, recommends hyperboosting hydration by layering on two moisturizing products during the day: a soothing facial oil or serum, topped by a rich cream. In the cream, look for shea butter, glycerin or ceramides, all of which help lock in the oil or serum. USE AM AND PM (or as outlined in the "treat" section).
PROTECT Because your skin's on the fast track to fine lines (the upside: You don't break out much anymore!), it is crucial that you slather on SPF. Apply it after your cream and aim for one that boasts some moisturizing properties (in your case, you can't overdo the hydration thing). Ellen Marmur, MD, vice chair of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, says dry types with a propensity for sensitivity may also want to opt for a physical mineral block (it usually contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) rather than a chemical one, because "dry skin is prone to tiny micro-cracks in its surface that can make chemical formulas sting." USE AM ONLY.
TREAT When skin lacks moisture, you need to be careful using retinoids like Retin-A or over-the-counter retinol. Most dermatologists will green-light a mild retinol or prescription Renova or Refissa (which have moisturizing bases) for use three or four nights a week. But to be safe, before you smooth on a retinoid, apply whatever cream you're using during the day to dilute the strength slightly. Then, on alternate nights, use just the cream. If you are extremely dry, you can also mix a dab of a moisturizing balm (think Aquaphor) into your moisturizer to ramp up results. USE PM ONLY.
If you're willing to pull out all the stops—and be rewarded with faster, more dramatic results—follow the Dry Minimalist regimen, then incorporate as many of these extras as you like.
FAKE RADIANCE In the morning, smoothing on a hydrating primer (post-sunscreen) will fill in fine lines and help makeup slide over dry, flaky skin, notes Jaliman. USE AM ONLY.
SHED THE DEAD When it comes to extra exfoliation (to boost the results of your retinoid), most doctors say to steer clear of glycolic or salicylic acid, which can be too harsh for very dry skin. Instead, use either lactic acid or something with enzymes, both of which are less aggressive exfoliators but still get the job done. USE AS NEEDED.
DEEP-TREAT You will benefit from using a moisturizing mask weekly. Most of these give skin a shot of hyaluronic acid (which isn't an exfoliating acid—it actually helps the skin absorb and hold moisture). USE AS NEEDED.
BABY YOUR EYES If the skin on your face is dry, the skin under your eyes is akin to the Sahara. Treat it to its own dose of extra moisture with a product that is creamy and boasts some skin-plumping benefits. USE AM AND PM.

A total surveillance state is being implemented right in front of us, and amazingly, pretty much no one seems to care.
From WND:
A student in a Texas school district has been told she is to be expelled for refusing to wear a student ID badge that essentially places her in an "electronic concentration camp."
WND previously reported on the case of Andrea Hernandez, a student at John Jay High School in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas. This year, the school implemented a new program requiring students to wear badges containing an RFID chip, which would be used to track them anywhere they went, including the restrooms. Hernandez refused to wear the chip, citing privacy and religious issues.
Despite the schools having 290 surveillance cameras, officials apparently believe that is not enough to keep track of students attending the schools.
The primary intent of the tracking cards is not to increase student safety but to increase state funding to the district.
WOAI-TV in San Antonio reported district spokesman Pasqual Gonzalez said the two schools have a high rate of truancy, and the district could gain $2 million in state funding by improving attendance.
After her refusal to wear the tracking chip, Hernandez was warned in a letter that there would "be consequences." Following through on its threats, the district sent Hernandez a letter informing her she would expelled effective Nov. 26.
"The forces behind this are very strong so people need to get ready for it," Whitehead said. "We are moving into a time where we are going to be in an electronic concentration camp wherever we go."
It is particularly despicable how they use state funding as a way to push these programs on struggling school districts. With all of the economic problems we face as a nation, am I the only one that finds it highly disturbing that so much money is being allocated to surveillance? This isn't a way to improve a nation's economy; rather, it represents a very conscious and concerted effort to control the population after systemic collapse.

List of Unversed
Redirected from Monotrucker
this wiki
|This page is a more fan-friendly version of an article. You may be looking for the official one.
- "It happened when you and I were split into two. The negativity took shape as these monsters. They are what I feel—a horde of fledgling emotions under my control."
- —Vanitas, explaining the existence of the Unversed to Ventus
The Unversed (アンヴァース Anvāsu?)[1], meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix. They are considered "the opposite of human life", and grow from the negative emotions produced when Vanitas was created from Ventus. It is because of this that Vanitas is able to control them. By all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself.
Chronologically, the Unversed are either the first or second enemy referenced during Deep Dive, as they are the second race to manifest, but the first to attack the Realm of Light.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Around the same time as Master Xehanort leaves the Land of Departure, the existence of the Unversed is brought to the attention of Master Eraqus by the Keyblade master's old friend, Master Yen Sid. Master Eraqus sends Terra and Aqua (two of his three apprentices) on a quest to find Master Xehanort and put an end to the threat to the Princesses of Heart the Unversed pose. However, Eraqus did not plan on his other apprentice, Ventus, going after Terra. It is during Ventus's final battle with Vanitas (his dark half) that the truth behind the existence of the Unversed is revealed.
It is explained by Vanitas that the Unversed are his creations, loyal only to him. As he is a being created from the purest and most raw form of darkness, Vanitas manipulated his negative thoughts and emotions and spawned them in physical form as the Unversed. To serve both Master Xehanort's plans to create the χ-blade and his own desire to cause misery for others, Vanitas visited as many worlds as he could and released his minions.
The Unversed served as the perfect opponents for Terra, Ventus, and Aqua as they would grow stronger by defeating them, all part of Master Xehanort's scheme to create the χ-blade, take Terra's body for himself, and start a new Keyblade War. The only downside to defeating Unversed is that any of the negativity released after they're defeated ends up back in Vanitas, who can just respawn them into the worlds. The whole Unversed race disappears upon the the destruction of their progenitor, Vanitas, at the hands of Ventus.
Several varieties of Unversed appear over the course of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Emotion was a key component in their conception and design. Thus they are seen with smiling, angry, and crying "faces", referring to the shape of their red eyes, which all Unversed share. They lack a direct link to the heart, but are beings that represent emotions in hearts. The emblem most Unversed are christened with is also meant to represent a heart that expresses emotion. [2] Unlike Heartless bosses and Nobody bosses (whom are enveloped in darkness and light respectively, when defeated), the Unversed bosses are consumed in a dark flame when vanquished.
List of Unversed
Notes and references
- ↑ At one point, the Unversed were known as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.
- ↑ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania Nomura Interview Their design concept became the theme of 'emotion', and we went with various motifs, such as a laughing face, angry face and crying face. The Unversed mark was also modeled on the heart from emotions.

Breaking the Climate Deadlock - PAST PROGRAM
Breaking the Climate Deadlock was a joint initiative of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and The Climate Group. Launched in March 2008, its objective was to help build support for an ambitious new global climate deal in Copenhagen in December 2009 and its subsequent implementation.
Combining the high-level advocacy of Mr Blair, with a suite of expert reports, briefing papers and public engagement activities, the initiative highlighted how a fair and effective global deal can be built and the benefits that it would provide.

Read our reports
We've published three major reports as part of this initiative.
And on Sunday December 13, 2009, Tony Blair launched the latest publication of Breaking the Climate Deadlock: Doing the Deal: Key Elements for a Copenhagen Climate Agreement.
Cutting the Cost: The Economic Benefits of Collaborative Climate Action
Using economic models, Cutting the Cost shows that a concerted global effort on climate change yields greater benefits for all major economies, than if nations were to go it alone.
The report was launch during Climate Week NYC and the UN climate summit in September 2009.
Its findings show:
- Increasing international collaboration dramatically cuts the price of carbon
- Collaborative action positively impacts both employment levels, and GDP, even under ambitious emission reduction regimes
- Important 'first mover advantages' for earlier adopter countries.
Read the full report or the executive summary.
Technology for a Low Carbon Future
Technology for a Low Carbon Future was launched in June 2009 to coincide with the G8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy.
The report shows that we can achieve 70% of emission reductions needed by 2020 by using technologies that already exist and by addressing deforestation.
The report identifies:
- The carbon-saving potential of existing and emerging technologies
- Investment needs and risk management
- Sectors critical for action
- Essential deliverables for a global deal in December 2009
Read the full report or the executive summary.
A Global Deal for Our Low Carbon Future
Submitted to the 2008 G8 Summit in Toyako, Japan, A Global Deal for Our Low Carbon Future targets policy makers, business leaders and opinion formers in the major industrialized and rapidly developing economies.
The report identifies the ten core building blocks of a global deal.
In three parts, it covers:
- Why global action on climate change is both critical and sensible
- The ten core building blocks for a global deal
- Actions the G8 could take to show real climate leadership
Read the full report in English, Chinese or Japanese. Executive summary also available.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsApril 16, 2014
Employers appear to be holding true to their original hiring projections made for the Class of 2014 as those responding to the Job Outlook 2014 Spring Update survey say they plan to hire 8.6 percent more graduates from the Class of 2014 for their U.S. operations than they did from the Class of 2013.
That's up a bit from their projections in fall 2013, when employers anticipated a 7.8 percent increase in hiring for their U.S. operations. (See Figure 1.)
Nearly half of respondents to the Job Outlook 2014 Spring Update survey anticipate an increase in their hiring, which is also consistent with the projections reported in fall 2013. (See Figure 2.)
The Job Outlook 2014 Spring Update survey was conducted from February 11 – March 26, 2014; the survey was sent to 1,015 employer members; 161, or 15.9 percent, responded. The report is available to NACE members at www.naceweb.org/job-outlook/index.aspx and through MyNACE.

Orbital Workshop, Skylab, Backup Flight Unit
The orbital workshop is the largest component of Skylab, America's first space station. It houses the living quarters, work and storage areas, research equipment, and most of the supplies needed to support a succession of three-man crews. Two complete Skylab space stations were manufactured and equipped for flight, and one was launched into Earth orbit in May 1973. After the Skylab program was canceled as effort shifted to Space Shuttle development, NASA transferred the backup Skylab to the National Air and Space Museum in 1975. On display in the Museum's Space Hall since 1976, the orbital workshop has been slightly modified to permit viewers to walk through the living quarters.
