Final version of Hetaoni is ready to be released but…
It seems the Hetalia fandom has not taken the rules seriously and has broken the trust of the makers.
On 11/24/12 PianoDream made this announcent
"For now, a public release of the final version of HetaOni English Version is not truly considered.
What I mean is that:
The game is completed, fully encoded and hopefully unbugged. It's technically ready for release.
However, it appears that many, many, many people across the fandom have kept on breaking our rules of use despite the numerous warnings we gave.
The main one of them was: not ripping anything of the game. Especially images.
And INCLUDING SCREENSHOTS.
And yet, if you take a peek at the HetaOni tag on tumblr, you can find more than plenty of reposted screenshots of ripped CGs scenes.
So, well, here's our decision,Neoand I's decision: no public distribution for now.
So far, only a few people who I trust and know are worth it will get the final version, and then, if the fandom behaves, or at least spreads the word and swears to behave, I'll make a public download available, BUT you'll have to read terms and conditions entirely before unlocking the archive, and, if I find one single rule broken, it'll be taken down.
I now would like everyone on the fnadom to spread this word across Tumblr, Deviantart and other websites. Rules are quite simple. It was up to you to respect them and sadly the amount of uncaring weeaboos is now too high for me to not mind."

Guys… Don't blow this chance. They worked exceptionally hard in making this and it would be sad to see that all that hard work goes down the drain because the fandom is taking for granted all of their efforts.
Please spread the word and maybe Hetalia fans can redeem themselves.
La versión final de Hetaoni esta lista para ser lanzada pero...
Al parecer el fandom de Hetalia no han tomado las reglas seriamente y han quebrado la confianza de los creadores.
El 24/11/12 PianoDream hizo este anuncio
"Por ahora, el lanzamiento al público de la versión final de Hetaoni Versión Inglés no es realmente considerado.
Lo que quiero decir es que:
El juego ya esta completo, completamente codificado y "hopefully unbugged" (no sé muy bien que significa lo último). Técnicamente se encuentra listo para lanzarse.
Sin embargo, parece que mucha, mucha, mucha gente de todo el fandom estuvieron quebrando nuestras reglas de uso a pesar de las numerosas advertencias que hemos dado.
La principal de ellas era: no sacar nada del juego. Especialmente imágenes. E INCLUYENDO CAPTURAS DE PANTALLA.
Y sin embargo, si das un vistazo al tag de HetaOni en tumblr, puedes encontrar un montón de capturas de pantalla de escenas.
Así que, bueno, esta es nuestra decisión, la decisión de Neoand I: no distribución pública por el momento.
Hasta el momento, sólo unas pocas personas en las que confió y conozco que valen van a tener la versión final, y luego, si el fandom se comporta, o al menos divulga la noticia y jura que se comportará, voy a hacer la descarga pública, PERO ustedes tendrán que leer los términos y condiciones completamente antes de desbloquear el archivo, y, si encuentro una sola regla rota, serán tomados de baja.
Yo sé que, como todo fandom, divulgarán la noticia por Tumblr, Deviantart y otros sitios. Las reglas son fáciles. Era cuestión de ustedes respetarlas y lamentablemente la cantidad de desconsiderados "weeaboos" (?) es bastante elevada ahora que no puede no importarme."
Aquí el link al journal pianodream.deviantart.com/jour…
Chicos... No desperdicien esta oportunidad. Ellos han trabajo excepcionalmente duro en hacer esto y sería triste ver que todo ese trabajo duro decaiga porque el fandom de por sentado todos sus esfuerzos.
Por favor divulga la noticia y quizás los fans de Hetalia puedan redimirse.
HETAONI ANNOUNCEMENT: IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ!) by Hetalia-Artists-VeWatch
Just because a few people are posting the photos doesn't mean EVERYONE shouldn't be able to see the ending. Can't you just ban those people and let us get on with the game? You can't end it on "Italy! Italy!"
I think it's been long enough for us to suffer the wait (three years) and the people who did it in the first place, though how stupid they are for not reading the rules of the game, should just be blocked from downloading it. You could ask for the Email or Phone Number and make sure that you check or track the owners to see what they've one in the past on their computers.
Surely, you could just say, "Yes, you can post the photos as long as you add the source and only post it in this group on Facebook." Then people can say what they want about the game and you can continue with updates.
The people who did that in the first place were probably just saying, "Come check out this game!" or "Wanna play this with me?"
I just don't believe that we all can't find out what Japan meant when he was going to wipe Italy's face or if Spain and Romano will ever get back to their time because of a few idiots who forgot the rules!
It's something everyone has to expect, someone breaking a rule. Tell ME if you've ever broken a rule. Everyone has done it before, even I have.
You've worked so hard in translating the game so far, so why not finish it? It's one game that has to be completed, in my opinion. That's why I've been glued to the laptop, trying to get away from ???.
I don't know if you'll read this but thank you for letting me take up some of your time. I hope you reply soon!
-- StoryBook24
If you still have the files and you don't mind mailing me them, you can contact me at email@example.com .
I've just finished the game for the first time and I was so so so so SO excited to see how it would end, only for the update to be ripped from the fandom's very fingers because a couple of people who couldn't follow the fucking terms and conditions.
I mean, I can understand whole heartily how frustrated the game makers must've felt to have their game leaked out into the internet after specifying rather intricately in the Terms and Conditions about what would happen if one were not to follow the rules put into place. BUT IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS.
You can't always expect a group of people (much less a fandom) to not leak any images/spoilers on the internet. I mean, they're excited fans and they just want to spread their happiness (but mostly gut-wrenching sadness) to their fellow peers.
I'm not saying that this type of thing is going to get any better. It's really not. There's always going to be that one group of rule breakers that decides that it would be okay to post anything from the game on Tumblr, Deviant Art, etc.
It's just something that you have to expect and look out for.
Instead of punishing the whole fandom who's been waiting patiently all this time to play the ending of the game, maybe it's about time to release the long-awaited update, but with a little more caution and awareness.
Understand that not everyone is able to have the same ethical motive as each other, and build off from that rather than deprive all of us from playing the beautiful game you worked so hard to translate.
(P.S I doubt that they will actually read this but I just needed to get this out of my system. I hope this proved at least a little insightful.)
I really loved it
My Emotions : something that I had in my heart so it was unknown but mixed of happy,sadness and anger
Reasons of these emotions : Happy to make translation, Sad of disappointed people who breaking it, and Anger is same reason of sadness
Reasons to typing this comment : I'm sorry makers.. but don't worry... we will do our own right now....sorry making you mad...you can type what you want to this comment...you can send someone or spread it I have no reason of it
Real reasons : Thank you...of our new consequences...we're really appreciate it...I know you did your best to translate of it....
anyway it still looks AMAZING! GREAT JOB!
please.... release the game, RELEASE THE HETALIA WITHIN YOU!
edit: I meant "Us"
Because they're being fucking ridiculous.
Honestly, what the hell do they expect? Search up any game movie and you will get screenshots. You will get gifs. You will get photo-shopped pictures. You will get fanart. That's just how it goes.
You don't see schools shutting down because a student got suspended right? It's pretty much the same situation here, but with a different story.
The fact that I know that this thing is actually finished but they won't send it just because of a group of people who decided to share the game on the internet, is hysterical. In the bad way. I mean, they're killing their own creation! Don't they want to get it to stretch its way into the fandom so people will play it?
Because if they really thought people weren't going to break the rules, the game shouldn't have been made in the first place.
And who are they to pick favourites by giving it to friends? Sure they're friends, but those friends are also part of the fandom. And just like their friends, a lot of the fandom as well have done nothing to break the rules in any way.
I have to admit, I was literally clutching my tissue box at the anticipation for the ending, only for it to be discontinued. Okay? After finding this out, I threw that box at the fucking wall.
What am I trying to get at? They should not expect us to treat them like some almighty God and beg them for our forgiveness. They're as much of a stranger to us as we are to them. I understand that they are the makers of the game and have the judgement to choose whether or not they release it. But how they're doing it is just unfair to everyone who hasn't even done anything. My advice to them is to use some common sense. This is the internet we're talking about here. If you really think everything is going to go your way or the highway, you are mistaken my friend.
I apologize if this post/rant was rather blunt and rude, but in all honesty, it had to be said, as well as had to be out of my system.
I heard that too, but they seemed so defensive and strict about the game, I simply figured it was theirs.
This is the Internet, after all. Do you know what really got on my nerves? They added a screamer to the MMDs should someone try to screenshot those. I accidentally experienced that, and I had a nightmare afterwards. What to do, though? Tell Pianodream? No one would believe the whole 'it was an accident' thing and dismiss it, tell me it's my fault. It's stupid. People are excited, no one has EVER claimed that they MADE any of those, and even if they did, they'd be taken down faster than the game after a broken rule. Seriously. You made those and you placed them in the game. Worst it could do is make you more popular.
Thank you for putting it into words. I'm tired of their shit.
Absolutely correct. I don't see how the fandom could just be manipulated so easily into siding with the Makers into blaming the rule-breakers. Yes, I understand they broke the rules, but rules shouldn't have been laid down in the first place, because you can't expect everyone to follow them.
And are you serious? No, like, are you actually shitting me? Why the hell would anyone think it's okay to put screamers? Those things can cause fucking panic attacks and they thought it was okay to put them in the game if someone tried to take a screenshot? Did they really have to resort to that? Now that gets me pissed.
And I agree, if no one claimed that they made the MMD's, the level design or whatever else, they shouldn't fucking care. "Hey! I drew that! Yes, I know you didn't make it, because it's mine, but you have a copy of it! So that means you stole it from me!" That is not how it works, okay.
And finally, you're welcome, and don't worry, you're not the only one that's tired them.
You're welcome, I would have taken more time to write that whole rant, but boy was my blood just boiling.
Also, I checked their facebook page-at least one of them didn't even know the link had been taken down until recently. This is all so petty.
sorry if this message is rude of me to post, and its kinda long sorry.
It's sad but true, even though the rules are so clear, there will still be a few people that break them and ruin it for everyone else..
I have been re-watching the Let's Play of HetaOni I originally watched when I found the game and this is my eighth time this week doing so.
(I also may or may not have been attempting to draw certain scenes and also may or may not have been failing)

U.S. Debt Rating in Limbo as Treasury Finds Math Mistake by S&P in Downgrade Warning
By Damian Paletta
A mathematical error discovered late Friday by Treasury Department officials has thrown into limbo — at least temporarily — plans by ratings firm Standard & Poor's to downgrade the top-notch AAA credit rating the U.S. has held for 70 years, people familiar with the matter said.
The wild back and forth between the Treasury Department and S&P Friday afternoon illustrated the dramatic stakes at play as the rating firm moved to downgrade U.S. debt for the first time in 70 years.
As of early Friday evening, S&P officials still had not decided how to proceed and could move forward with a downgrade despite the issues raised by the White House, people familiar with the matter said.
S&P officials notified the Treasury Department early Friday afternoon it was planning to downgrade the U.S. government's debt from the AAA rating it has held for decades, a government official said, and it presented its report to the White House. S&P has previously warned such a downgrade might come if Washington didn't move to comprehensively tackle its long-term fiscal woes.
After two hours of analysis, Treasury officials discovered that S&P officials had miscalculated future deficit projections by close to $2 trillion. It immediately notified the company of the mistakes.
S&P officials later called administration officials to say they agreed with the administration's critique, though they did not say whether it would affect their rating. White House officials remained waiting Friday evening to see what the company would do.
An S&P spokesman didn't return repeated calls for comment.

"The Real Housewives of New York" star Sonja Morgan has managed to keep a low profile since the show ended last year. She has been dealing with a legal issue for quite some time and she is still trying to deal with the million dollar bankruptcy and accompanying lawsuit. However, she has been focusing on her love life and she has been dating a much younger guy for quite some time. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 3, "The Real Housewives of New York" star Sonja Morgan is now revealing that her man will be on the show.
Apparently, her young boyfriend, 23-year-old real estate developer Ben Benalloul, will be a part of the show this upcoming season. He will be on the first episode of the show. However, it sounds like Sonja's life will be interesting to watch. "Sonja has as many men as she has interns, and some of them are the same age," a source has revealed. And Sonja sees herself as someone young, not a cougar.
"When I look in the mirror, I see a young girl," she has said. "My tits are firm, and my ass is up! I don't feel like a cougar." She is having fun dating a 23-year-old. "He's fun," she explains. "He's got a black card. He takes you to Paris." It may not be what he wants to hear about the relationship, but it sounds like Sonja has found someone who has the money that she wanted.
What do you think?

Local Hero
From homelessness to helping the homeless — the Hagergs
By Karen Castillo Farfán 01/19/2012
Steve and Laurie Hagerg understand how it feels not to have a stable home life. For a year, they turned a relative's living room into a place where their children did homework and they converted it into the sleeping quarters for the whole family. Ten years ago, the Hagergs were homeless.
When they moved to Fresno in 2001, they were ready to start a new life. But when they arrived, their job situations did not materialize as planned, forcing the Hagerg's to seek shelter with family.
Steve has an undergraduate degree in history and biology and a graduate degree in Christian thought. His wife, Laurie, has a bachelor's in English as well as a California teaching credential and a master's in education. Even with their educational backgrounds, the Hagergs still became homeless. "Homelessness does not discriminate," Laurie said of their previous situation.
"When you're transient like we were, it's easy to lose essential things like socks or school supplies," explained Steve.
Today the Hagergs' children are grown and in college. Steve and Laurie have careers teaching at Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, but they haven't forgotten about life without a home. In their off time, they are volunteer tutors for School on Wheels, a nonprofit tutoring organization that provides homeless families with free tutoring services and school supplies.
They began doing so two years ago after Laurie read an online educational newsletter that featured the purpose of School on Wheels. Laurie mentioned it to her husband and they decided to volunteer together.
They were matched with a single mom of three kids — her two sons, Mekhi and Jaden, and her 3-year-old daughter. The two boys, ages 8 and 13, were the Hagergs' first students and have been for two years. "Mekhi had problems reading, so we began with easy books," said Laurie of the first challenge she faced in tutoring Mekhi. Laurie wanted to focus on reading because it is a critical part of all scholastic subjects. After two years, Mekhi's level of confidence increased, even earning him the Student of the Trimester Award at school. "He went from being afraid to participate in the classroom to having confidence with reading out loud," explained Laurie.
Steve's student, Jaden, is a naturally gifted boy, which meant Steve's goal was to encourage Jaden to see possibilities, such as college, outside of what he knows. "Tutoring is sometimes about providing the emotional support that a child may lack because of their living circumstances," Steve said. Jaden is currently enrolled in honors courses.
Mekhis and Jadens mother, Jocelyn, said she learned about School on Wheels while living at a motel two years ago. "The motel [where] we lived housed many homeless families. School on Wheels visited the motel and offered us their services."
Jocelyn immediately accepted the opportunity. She wants her children to have as many advantages as they can. "Just because we're homeless doesn't mean they don't deserve a good education. They [Steve and Laurie] helped my boys with things I couldn't help them with," said Jocelyn. "Sometimes a parent alone isn't enough."
Steve says School on Wheels is always willing to take new volunteers. "They need people who want to make a difference. An hour a week may seem like [a] small amount of time but it is a lot of time for a child in need. We are giving them bigger horizons beyond what is their world and peers, and establishing some goals."
Jocelyn and her children recently moved into their new home, a bittersweet time in their lives because this also means they no longer qualify for the free tutoring program. But the Hagergs developed a close friendship with Jocelyn and her children and want to continue tutoring them on their own time. "We'll be there for them until they no longer need us," promised Laurie and Steve.
Local Hero is an ongoing project, featuring local residents who have made exceptional contributions for their communities. If you know of someone you feel should be featured as a Local Hero, please e-mail at email@example.com or email@example.com. For more on the person of the week, go to vcreporter.com.

Six months after Jack Paar made a stormy departure from "The Tonight Show" (over jokes about Communism, among other issues) and viewers enduring a succession of "substitute" hosts (and an ill-fated attempt at a magazine-type show), NBC (and middle America) finally got the comedian they were waiting for. Johnny Carson who had honed his craft on radio and daytime television, and to that point was best known as host of Who Do You Trust made his debut as host of "The Tonight Show" on October 1, 1962. Thus began a love affair with America that lasted 30 years, not only making Carson wealthy and powerful, but earning him the title, "King of Late Night." It started out shaky. NBC built Carson a cheap set on the sixth floor of 30 Rockefeller Center, not thinking the show would last. Ed McMahon was less confident; he still lived in Philadelphia and commuted for the next three years. In 1962, "Tonight" began at 11:15 pm ET and lasted 105 minutes. By then, most NBC affiliates had inflated their late-evening newscasts to half an hour. It meant that, unless viewers tuned in on the NBC owned-and-operated stations in New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, or Los Angeles, chances are they missed Carson's monologue. NBC quickly moved the start time of Johnny's show to 11:30 pm ET to ensure everyone could see the best part of his domain. In 1972, the show moved from New York to NBC's West Coast headquarters, thus setting up countless gags about "beautiful downtown Burbank." For a number of years, NBC reran "Tonight" on weekends at 11:30 pm ET. These reruns, of course, didn't score nearly the ratings as the originals maintained. By the end of 1974, Carson told NBC to turn their late weekends to another program. NBC hired a young Canadian performer and writer named Lorne Michaels to develop (what would quickly become) the "Tonight" antithesis — Saturday Night Live. Carson became the man with whom millions of Americans ended their day with a relatively simple formula: an opening monologue of topical (sometimes corny) humor. Johnny's stock in trade became his down-home, glib sense of humor and his natural wit. He possessed the knack of being equal parts L.A. hip and Midwest backward. However, he never mocked people or resorted to mean-spirited or cheap, off-color jokes; instead, he often poked fun at human nature and events of the day in such a way that made America know it was OK to laugh at themselves. The Carson Monologue became "must see TV," and to miss a night was leave one's self less than "in the know" at the water cooler the following day. On one occasion, a Carson joke about toilet paper shortage actually led to hoarding of the product by thousands of consumers. Following the monologue, viewers saw either a "desk bit" between Carson and McMahon, or a more elaborate, produced skit. Then, interviews and performances by a wide range of celebrities followed (some reports have Johnny's guest list at more than 20,000). Carson was often at his best while interviewing the "everyday" person, especially young children. Some of the notable skits and features: Carnac the Magnificent Debuting in 1964, Carson (wearing a jeweled and feathered turban) would "divine" answers to questions from "hermetically sealed" envelopes, a standard gag from Vaudeville. Example: "The answer is…Chicken teriyaki! The question…"What is the name of the last surviving Japanese kamikaze pilot?" The Mighty Carson Art Players Starting in 1967, this catch-all title featured parodies of movies, TV shows and commercials. Classic skits included a tongue-twisting take-off on Dragnet (1968, with Jack Webb); commercial parodies of E.F. Hutton (with a deceased Carson rising from a casket to "my broker is E.F. Hutton…"), American Express (with Carson as Karl Malden), Energizer Batteries (Carson as Robert Conrad), and various diarrhea commercial take-offs. Also under the "Mighty Carson" umbrella was the Tea Time Movie sketch, with Carson playing Art Fern, an oily afternoon movie host and commercial huckster. These sketches were full of double entendre humor, first featuring busty Carol Wayne as the straight foil, "the Matinee Lady." Following Wayne's drowning death in 1985, Teresa Ganzel was added. Other classic moments included Carson as President Reagan (and actor Fred Holliday) in a hilarious "Who's On First?"-style routine, and a duet with Julio Iglesias ("To All The Girls I've Loved Before"), with Carson giving a convincing Willie Nelson impersonation. Floyd R. Turbo The super-patriot who gave over-the-top editorials. Other memorable moments: Falsetto-singer and ukulele player Tiny Tim on-air marriage to Miss Vicki (Vicki Budinger) on December 17, 1969. Ed Ames infamous tomahawk throw demo, striking the outlined target squarely in the crotch. The marmoset who relieved itself while poking around at Carson's head; plus other animals (brought on by frequent guests Joan Embery and Jim Fowler) who refused to behave or were just being themselves. Potato chip collector Myrtle Young, who momentarily thinks Johnny has eaten one of her prized chips. Among the performers who owe (at least part) of the beginning of their careers to Carson: Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr, Drew Carey, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Eddie Murphy, Jerry Seinfeld and Garry Shandling, plus many others. Ironically, Letterman (a frequent "Tonight" guest host in the late 1970?s) was Carson's first choice as his successor. Leno, however, had already been given the seat as "permanent guest host," following Carson's professional breakup with Joan Rivers (who had joined the up and coming FOX Network to do her own late night show in 1986.) Leno, though seen by some at NBC as "too ethnic looking," had the favor of NBC's West Coast executives, and was chosen over Letterman, whom NBC West saw as "too cranky and edgy" to replace the mild-mannered Carson. This was perceived as a final snub to Carson, and prompted Letterman to defect to CBS, and compete head to head against the show he'd always wanted to host. The entire "Tonight" endgame saga would be the subject of Bill Carter's book The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno 2) Carson would dictate what kind of show NBC could run at 12:30 am ET. This meant replacing Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show with from Carson's stable. 3) Carson Productions was formed. Among its most heralded works was the show that followed "Tonight" — Late Night with David Letterman. Carson Productions' other gift to NBC was a series of specials called Television's Greatest Commercials, hosted by Ed McMahon. McMahon was also a victim of a one-shot deal called Johnny Carson's Greatest Practical Jokes, in which Johnny had loaded the trunk of Ed's car with office equipment and taped Ed failing to get past NBC Security (and a guard named Carson). Both of these specials would merge with Dick Clark's running TV Censored Bloopers in January 1984, becoming TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes. In 1983, Carson Productions produced and distributed "Carson's Comedy Classics," a somewhat low-budget, 30 minute repackaging of "Tonight" clips, culled mainly from the years 1972-1982. Carson's lock on late night came into question in the late 1980?s, likely precipitated by two events: the debut of The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989, and Dana Carvey doing a less-than-loving portrayal (with Phil Hartman as a one-note Ed McMahon) of Carson on Saturday Night Live. Carvey's "Johnny" was basically a dinosaur — a relic clueless of pop culture and mired in "unhipness." In one of the more scathing takes, Carvey presented Carson as "Carsenio," giving his Johnny a wedge cut and Arsenio-styled suit. These less-than-flattening portrayals of Carson on SNL were seen by some as NBC giving tacit approval to the move to push Johnny out. Carson, during his last show, in thanking Doc and the band, would lament TV's loss of the "last big swing band," saying, "To say that this band is not 'hip' is to not know the meaning of the word." In 1991, as Carson was starting his 29th year, the "King of Late Night" announced in his usual no-big-deal style that he was retiring, expressing a desire to leave the show while still in his prime. His second-to-last show on May 21, 1992 featured just two guests: Robin Williams and Bette Midler, with Midler serenading Carson with "One for My Baby," a teary-eyed Carson taking in the moment. The final show on May 22, 1992 was a quiet and contemplative retrospective, featuring "a day in the life" on the Tonight Show set, and a tribute to his late son, Rick (who was killed in a car crash the previous June). Alone on a stool, in front of the familiar curtain, a tearful Carson bade his audience "a heartfelt good night," thus ending not only a show, but an era of television. With very few exceptions, Carson's "Tonight" departure was the last most people saw of their beloved late-night TV comic. Most notably: a voice appearance as himself on The Simpsons episode, 'Krusty Gets Kancelled,' and a pair of appearances on Late Show with David Letterman. Just prior to Carson's death, it was revealed that Johnny would occasionally give Dave an idea or two for his monologue, thus cementing the notion that Carson saw Letterman as his true late night heir. When Johnny Carson died on January 23, 2005, America mourned the passing of a late-night legend. Jay Leno devoted his January 24, 2005 show to his predecessor (though it should be noted, Leno read a prepared "tribute" from cue cards). On the show were Ed McMahon, Drew Carey and Carson's close friends Bob Newhart and Don Rickles, all providing their remembrances. Letterman's first new show following Carson's death featured longtime "Tonight" executive producer Peter Lassally and a performance of "Here's That Rainy Day" — one of Johnny's favorites — by bandleader Doc Severinsen, with NBC Orchestra mates Tommy Newsom and Ed Shaughnessy.

Former WWE wrestler Buck Zumhofe was found guilty on March 5 for six counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and six counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. According to Wrestle Zone on March 6, Zumhofe tried to run from the courtroom after the verdict was announced but was tackled and restrained.
The victim in question in the case was a relative who Zumhofe allegedly molested since she was 15 years old. The abuse then lasted for 12 years, until she was 27 years old. She claimed that she was molested at least 1,800 times over the years, sometimes more than once a day.
Thanks to the fact that Zumhofe tried to flee from the courtroom, plus the severity of the case, the sentencing was put off until later in the month.
Zumhofe wrestled in the AWA for most of his career, but he also had a stop in the WWE where he was involved in two historic matches. He was the first opponent for Triple H when he made his WWE debut and he was also the first person that The Undertaker put into the body bag when he was starting that gimmick.
This isn't the first time that Buck Zumhofe has been in trouble with the law. He was also arrested in 1986 and spent time in prison for sexual misconduct with a minor. This was actually before he signed with the WWE.

[Désolé si cette entrée est en anglais, je n'ai pas eu le temps de traduire et je veux pouvoir partager ce que j'y dit avec les autres coworkings faisant parti de notre communauté donc la première version est en anglais.]
Well we've done it, Station C has been open for one year. Quite a ride so far! We adjusted our plans a couple of times, had a few good discussions along the way but it's been fun and we're going for another year, at least. Here are some of the things we have been doing in this first year.
- Co-hosted a coworking session at SXSW 2008
- Held a developers saturday with Yahoo and Nurun
- Spoke at Pecha Kucha 4 (nailed it 😉 )
- Hosted a talk by Aaron Straup Cope from Flickr
- Creacamp Mai 2008 was in our space
- NetSquared Montréal got its start here and is going strong after a few months
- Montréal NewTech got its start here before moving on
- We held one of each of MobileDevMeetup, TwitYul, Montréal Girl Geek Dinner, Démocratie et technologie, iPhoneDevCamp, Startup Ottawa / Dex.
- Four or five 5@7 and networking events
- A kickass opening party and a even kicker asser Christmas party
- Urler.tv, VisibleGovernment.ca and the Fair Copyright For Canada's Montréal chapter all held their founding or first meetings at the Station
- Identi.ca, the excellent Open Source microblogging platform was started and is currently being run from Station C
- Montréal Startup, BookOven, Exvisu, Wright Technology Solutions, Perennia and I'm sure a few more have been part of the mix and done some of their startuping mojo in our meeting rooms.
- Members are currently developing new business models, iPhone apps, web apps, Facebook apps, writing a book and worked on movie scripts

Since the introduction of the Internet through the concept and development of ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) during the early 1960's, life for us as human being has literally been moving at light-speed.
Or at least to most of us, that is the way it would appear.
Yes…our technology has advanced. We as human beings are able to see more, do more and create more in a fraction of the time that it took us before we had the Internet.
It is just too bad that the development of our species has become so stagnant – unable to evolve past our rudimental primitive instincts to tear down, hurt, injure and kill one another over ideas and issues that hold about as much importance as a glass of spilled milk.
The Internet, in its brief history, has become one of the most sophisticated weapons that we have at our disposal, transcending from an instrument primarily used for information and communication to a tool that is used to taunt, torment and sometimes destroy individuals, groups and/or organizations.
Today, people of all ages, education levels and backgrounds from around the world have unregulated access to a device that is seemingly giving more power to the distasteful side of our human nature, and providing fewer opportunities for personal growth and progress.
For example, on September 22, 2010, Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm room sexual encounters with another man. This and several other incidents such as this have occurred over the years where the Internet has been used to expose and destroy rather than educate and elevate.
Internet enhancements such as My Space, Facebook, and Twitter have not helped in this matter as they are primarily used for either self-promotion or to talk (gossip) about others.
The Internet (just like the gun) is only providing us with the access and opportunity – it is not responsible for making us post damaging personal information about other people, nor is it responsible for making people who are targeted choose to take their own life.
Our present-day culture is clashing with the Internet - converting our less favorable qualities as humans into assets, while weakening our ability as individuals to be civil, fair-minded and compassionate towards one another.
Teasing and bullying are at an all-time high. The Internet has made it easier to locate, isolate and attack the people that predators choose to target.
However, the answer to this problem is reasonably simple. We need to find and implement strategies that allow us to collectively navigate our way back to the basics; back to a time where we taught our youth the significance of caring, respect and self-esteem.
It is becoming painfully obviously with each passing day that there are young people who are personally broken, have no direction and are not getting the information they need, causing them to choose alternate routes such as alcohol abuse, drugs, violence, and death.
It is imperative for us today that each one of us understands the importance of knowing and accepting who we are as individuals in order for our species to survive. People who live in either denial or fear of themselves make it extremely difficult for the rest of us to support them.
In other words, you have to be comfortable with you.
If a person refuses to acknowledge and accept his or her race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, it will be next to impossible for anyone else to accept it.
It is through knowledge and acceptance of self that we are able to live free – only then can we become shining examples of the confidence and truth that our present-day world so desperately needs.
When we live freely through knowledge of self, actions such as teasing, bullying and suicide become non-issues.

Mr Wongs
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 21:08, 3 May 2008 by Heihachi 73 (talk) (New page - undocumented GTA3 vehicle)
This is a laundry van which is found in Grand Theft Auto III and Liberty City Stories. It is not normally driven by anyone, except for one mission where you blow up three of these vans. It also spawns during Vigilante missions as a stolen vehicle. Unlike the other Mule based vans, this van is front wheel drive. Aside from the drivetrain, it is basically identical to the Triad Fish Van, right down to the horn. It is written as 'Mr Wongs' in-game without the dot, but the dot is on the graphic on the side of the van.

The presentation will cover practical aspects of GreenEvo technology verification framework and present success stories, which could inspire other governments and prove that by co-operation with the business and science, every country can benefit from the green economy?s contribution to sustainable development and poverty eradication.
Detailed programmeAn important element of the national sustainable development strategy is the endogenous development of environmentally sound technologies, achieved by means of establishing relevant industries, knowledge bases and implementation frameworks. The presentation will focus on best practices from Poland, based on the experiences of GreenEvo project.
In the late 1980s, Poland started the transformation from a centrally-planned economy, which used to disregard many of the sustainable development principles. Within the subsequent 30 years, the country had ?cleaned? and ?greened? its economy, by dramatically reducing industrial pollution as well as improving its production and consumption patterns. Now, it is willing to share experiences and help other countries acquire knowledge and competencies, which are necessary to achieve a similar transformation.
Participants of the side event will learn how Poland dealt with its transformation towards knowledge-based and green economy. The efforts required implementation of environmentally sound technologies and substantial investments. A reason for concerns was the related influx of foreign technology imports, needed to accomplish the environmental commitments, as well as the perceived inequality in international trade balances and barriers to effective technology development and transfer in Poland.
The GreenEvo project (Green Technology Accelerator) was initiated by the Ministry of the Environment, Poland, in order to stimulate local economy and support environment protection. It rested on the free market principles, compliant with the WTO regime and the principles of sustainability. The government did not intervene in the market but acted as a facilitator, using soft instruments to stimulate the development, sharing and use of technology and business knowledge.
GreenEvo is a brand name for the best local environmental technologies, and the project involves their comprehensive verification and selection. The government identifies the best green technologies and their suppliers, thus promoting endogenous technological development and motivating small and medium enterprises. Under the technology verification framework, the proven and innovative technologies are recommended by the government. The project also encourages the development of relevant intellectual property in Poland by means of Research & Development and international co-operation.
Particular challenges of the project were related to the needs to assure transparency and accountability of the technology selection and verification processes to build confidence in the government-led quality assurance scheme.
GreenEvo resulted in successful international transfers of environmental technologies and best practices from Poland. The presentation will suggest, how to make local solutions competitive when compared with large multinational enterprises, offering commercial alternatives. It offers a win-win formula for other countries, promoting sustainable development, stimulating the growth of green economy and local industries, dealing with environmentally sound technologies.
The presentation will also cover practical examples of GreenEvo success stories in technology areas related to: preserving biodiversity, re-cultivation of soil, water and vegetation and biomass solutions for farmers. They could inspire other governments and prove that by co-operation with the business and science, every country can benefit from the green economy?s contribution to sustainable development and poverty eradication.
Speakers: Mr. Marcin Korolec ? Minister of the Environment, Ms. Beata Jaczewska ? Undersecretary of State, Ministry of the Environment, Ms. Agnieszka Kozlowska-Korbicz ? Head of GreenEvo project, Ministry of the Environment; Prof. Krzysztof Klincewicz - Coordinator of the Experts Team at GreenEvo, Green Technology Accelerator, Ministry of the Environment, and Member of Technology Executive Committee, UNFCCC

According to a July 28 report from Wrestlezone, Cesaro gave John Cena a big swing on WWE Monday Night Raw in Houston. Cesaro, one of the top heels in the WWE, hadn't done his signature swing in quite some time, but he brought it back for his match with Cena. As expected, it went over in a big way with WWE Universe. The crowd on hand applauded loudly when Cesaro swung Cena around in a circle inside the ring.
The rumor was that WWE officials told Cesaro to cut down on doing the swing, because they wanted to keep him as a heel. Cesaro's swing was so popular that he started receiving babyface reactions. The WWE apparently wanted fans to boo him, so his swing was ruining that. Luckily, the WWE allowed Cesaro to do the swing against Cena. That decision makes sense because Cena is the top babyface character on the WWE roster, so Cesaro swinging him around technically shouldn't have earned him such a huge pop.
When Cesaro swung Cena, the reaction from the crowd on hand in Houston was mostly mixed. Some cheered because they appreciate the technique, while others were upset to see the WWE's top babyface get tossed around like a rag-doll. Cesaro ended up battling Cena on WWE Monday Night Raw because the champ is currently involved in a feud with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.
Since Cesaro is formerly a Heyman client, he collided with Cena on his behalf. Lesnar wasn't on hand for the Houston taping of WWE Monday Night Raw, but Cesaro was there to take on the challenge. Cena would ultimately defeat Cesaro, but the "King of Swing" and former member of the We The People tag-team super-group got some much-needed television time and even a little work on the mic.
At one time, Cesaro was expected to get a major push as the WWE's top heel. He was drawing real heat from WWE Universe earlier this year, but the promotion seems to have botched his career elevation. Over the past two months, Cesaro hasn't been involved in a major storyline and he has been toiling in mid-card obscurity. Cesaro isn't expected to be featured in a major feud with Cena. He was simply filling in for Lesnar for one-night on Monday Night Raw.

Scandal And The Church
You've likely seen the news this morning of the latest scandal to rock Christianity. This morning there is a report that the head of the National Association of Evangelicals and Senior Pastor of a mega-church in Colorado, Ted Haggard, has been paying for trysts with a gay escort. I'm hoping that its all a political smear, as the accuser has ties to gay-marriage initiatives and Haggard and the NAE are leading voices against it. But, the news reports look very grim. Here's the story. Join me in praying for all the folks involved. This is a sad world in many ways.

Just before summer began, my wife suggested that we purchase the Brookings Pool family swim pass.
Our kids — ages 2, 5, 7 and 9 — are getting old enough that they could benefit from having unlimited access to the swimming pool in addition to spending time up the Chetco, so we decided that it would be well worth the cost to start utilizing the pool.
I figured that in order to get the most of my dollar, I would need to start lap swimming and try to swim at least 20 miles before the pool freezes over in winter.
(Actually, the pool is closed well before the water could freeze, and how often do we get sub-zero temperatures in Brookings, anyway?)
I began last week on Tuesday by swimming the length of the pool 20 times — or 10 down-and-backs.
I paused for air every time I came to a wall.
At one point I attempted a flip turn in the deep end; I ended up on the bottom of the pool wondering how I got there. (I also decided to get some instruction on proper flip turn technique before I attempted that again.)
In a 25-meter pool, my 10 laps was a grand total of 500 meters — a little over a quarter of a mile — not great.
I knew that I could do better and set a goal to, each day, swim at least one more lap than the previous day. I figured I could probably build 950 meters of stamina in two weeks.
At the end of the two weeks, I'll time my 950 meters and start swimming for that much time each day, counting my laps and adding up the distance until the pool closes.
Hopefully, I'll get faster and learn how to flip-turn without ending up on the bottom of the pool — disoriented and discombobulated — before the end of summer.
With one week under my towel, I'm loving the water and the health benefits that stem from regular exercise.
I know I'll never be Matt Biondi, but maybe one day my kids will win a gold medal in the Olympics because they had access to the pool.

As the farm-to-glass movement blooms, Vermont's cideries, distilleries, and wineries are using a growing list of local ingredients, including apples, berries, grains, milk whey, vegetables, maple sap and syrup, honey, and grapes. Unlike Vermont's craft beer industry, Vermont's cideries, distilleries, and wineries can source from small, but local supplies of ingredients. While Vermont's brewing industry largely relies on out-of-state sources of hops and malt, University of Vermont Extension's Northwest Crops and Soils Program is providing early stage research support and technical assistance for in-state potential.
Despite Vermont's small size, cideries, distilleries, wineries, and breweries are demonstrating national leadership in fast growing segments of the alcohol beverage industry: hard cider, ice cider, craft spirits, boutique wine, and craft beer.
Vermont is well-known for apple production and hard cider is an increasingly important value-added product that is winning awards and bringing more dollars by volume for the 'second-rate' apples being pressed into crisp bubbly drinks. Vermont apple growers who are diversifying their products can earn $135 per bushel when their apples are made into hard cider compared to $9 per bushel for non-alcoholic cider production. Vermont is now home to at least nine hard cider makers.
Vermont's craft distilled spirits are using numerous local ingredients and gaining international recognition for superior quality. Fifteen distilleries concocting a range of spirits from vodka and gin to rye whiskey and maple liqueurs are located throughout the state.
At least 27 wineries are spread throughout Vermont, and are one of the leading agritourism income generators in the state. Wine tours, tastings, pairings, and events are popular outings for both Vermonters and tourists as well as examples of agricultural land stewardship. Snow Farm Vineyard adopted both agritourism and land conservation principles as one of Vermont's earliest commercial vineyards, opening in 1992 with a mission "to preserve Vermont's agricultural land in the face of rapid development by providing an alternative for farmers."
The new Hard Cider, Spirits, and Wine section of the Vermont Farm to Plate Strategic Plan was published in December, detailing the emerging trends and market development opportunities for Vermont's cideries, distilleries, and wineries. The Farm to Plate Strategic Plan is Vermont's ten year food system plan tasked with increasing economic development and jobs in Vermont's food and farm sector and improving access to healthy local food for all Vermonters.
Since the Hops and Beer section of the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan was originally published in May 2013, the number of Vermont breweries has grown from 27 to 31, with several more currently under development. Vermont now has one brewery for every 20,193 residents—more per capita than any other state—and has generated over $196 million in total economic value in 2012. This chapter was updated and republished in December.
Both chapters can be viewed on the Vermont Food Atlas—the Vermont information clearinghouse of all Vermont food and farm sector resources, including all sections of the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan and the 300 member organization Farm to Plate Network responsible for implementing the plan.

Like all recent Bioware titles, fans will be able to select the gender of the main character of Dragon Age: Inquisition when the game releases this fall. One problem that comes from having a customizable protagonist is it becomes hard to market the product in a way that promotes all of the possible choices, such as Mass Effect's lack of having a female Shepard represented until the third game in the franchise. However, Dragon Age Creative Director Mike Laidlaw announced on May 15 that they are working now working on a trailer featuring a female Inquisitor for the game.
Starting from the beginning will help Dragon Age: Inquisition not play favorites to certain combinations. Bioware also purposely designed the title's box art be ambiguous so that it's not innately clear what the gender of the armored character actually is. This could help the developer to avoid issues that they previously ran into with Mass Effect where, even though the game allowed fans to customize their characters, all marketing for the game prominently focused on a default design of male Shepard.
Knowing that Bioware hopes to give equal importance to both genders for the Inquisitor of the next entry of the popular fantasy series is good, but Dragon Age: Inquisition holds more customization options than what sex to make the main character. Players will be able to choose between an assortment of fantasy races which presents an all new problem when it comes to creating promotional material for the game. An image of a character in the distance may be disguised so that its gender is obscured, but it is still obvious that a human-sized figured isn't a dwarf.
In addition to race and gender, gamers will also be able to select between three classes when Dragon Age: Inquisition launches on Oct 7 for the Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Each class is further broken down into different specializations that offer even more ways for players to create their character how they see fit.

Lasik Device To Correct Bifocal Vision Approved
General Health News - G J E 4
One of America's biggest eye care companies has had its recent invention-the CustomVue Monovision Lasik device, approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Advanced Medical Optics Inc. claims the invention is the first Lasik device to correct one of a patient's eyes to see far (myopia) and the other eye to see objects close-up (presbyopia).
AdvertisementAccording to the FDA the instrument works by correcting all the nearsightedness to help distance vision in a patient's dominant eye, while fixing only part of the nearsightedness in the less dominant eye, which helps close-up vision. The FDA has asked the company to conduct a study tracking 500 patients for six months after surgery, to check for potential visual disturbances that could limit activities or worsen a patient's quality of life.
According to Daniel Shultz, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, the device will reduce the need for reading glasses for adults 40 and older, who have laser in-situ keratomileusis surgery to correct distance vision.
The surgery encompasses a procedure in which the surgeon cuts a flap in the outer layer of the cornea in order to remove a small amount of tissue. The flap is then replaced. According to the FDA, patients considering the CustomVue Monovision LASIK surgery should first wear monovision contact lenses to determine whether they can tolerate having one eye under-corrected.
The surgery permanently changes the cornea, and side effects may include sensitivity to bright lights. These may be visual disturbances such as halos around lights and night-driving glare. Other potential side effects include double vision and visual fluctuation.

Controlling music with hand gestures alone has been a part of electronic music since the 1920s. The theremin for example was (and is) an early electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer. The theme to the original "Star Trek" TV show is probably the best known of the Theramin soundtracks, forever associated with mid-century science fiction screen imagery.
Its Russian inventor Léon Theremin patented the device in 1928. The instrument's controlling section consists of two metal antennas which sense the relative position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.
In motion capture sessions, movements of one or more actors are sampled many times per second. Whereas early techniques used images from multiple cameras to calculate 3D positions, often the purpose of motion capture is to record only the movements of the actor, not his or her visual appearance. This animation data is mapped to a 3D model so that the model performs the same actions as the actor.
From the 1920s world of touch-free music performance and the late 20th century world of motion capture and motion sensing in movies and video games, comes iRing which lets you control your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch music apps and effects without touching your device.
iRing deploys hand gestures to directly affect parameters of effects and other aspects in your music performances by simply moving your hands in front of your device. In theory though, it could be used to control physical objects, such as puppets in the same way. You could wave your hand over your iPad, and have these gestures control the movement of a motorized marionette a thousand miles away!
So how does it work?
iRing uses patented advanced image-recognition, motion control and precise geometric positioning technology to determine the exact position of the wearable rings, recognizing and tracking the dot patterns printed on iRing allowing you to control various app parameters, without touching your device. Your device 'sees' your rings, and turns their position and range into values which in turn control the settings in real-time.
iRing app uses the front-facing camera on your device and advanced volumetric positioning algorithms to recognize and determine the exact position of the ring in relation to the selected device camera. This precise reading of the position of the ring is converted by the app into music or MIDI control messages. So in essence, iRing and the iRing companion apps track your movements and convert them into useful info your apps use to change things.
Because movements can be recognized along the three axis, with two rings you can control up to six parameters simultaneously On top of movements also certain gestures are recognized (like the rotation of the ring) greatly enlarging your music expression possibilities.
The system could be used in a very wide number of ways - to play air guitars, air harps, to control lights, to control projected effects like ghosts on water. The performer could wave their hands over an unseen iPad and every gesture could appear to make a floating genie or tiny firefly - or a thousand of them in a cloud swirl this way and that.
The possibilities for real-time, gesture based performance are endless.

Took my girlfriend to the range today to help her pick a new EDC gun to CC. Obviously, being female presents special challenges in terms of concealment (smaller body, tiny pockets, etc.). She shot a variety of compact guns including the Glock 26, Ruger LCP, and Sig Sauer P238.
She likes and shot best with the P238, although it jammed 1/10 rounds on her. I've read people having all kinds of problems with some P238s, others have none at all.
She's considering other viable alternatives, what do you guys think between the Kahr P380 vs the Walther PPK?
