Luka, Yukari, Yuki - "Oh...何シテルノ?" by Daisuke-P ERO-ginal
Posted 31 January 2012 - 05:40 PM
Composition; Daisuke-P / だいすけP
Illustration; Yukihane / ゆきはね
I have to say the pun on 'Original' is quite amusing, and it looks like the 'Funky Husky Cool Girls' gained a new recruit.
There's not much to say, but some cute are with some sexual appeal tossed in and some really catchy composition.

That's a beautiful voice combination. I would love to hear more of these three together.

Three brilliant novellas. One fantastic story.
Collected together for the first time, T. Frohock's three novellas—In Midnight's Silence, Without Light or Guide, and The Second Death—brings to life the world of Los Nefilim, Spanish Nephilim that possess the power to harness music and light in the supernatural war between the angels and daimons. In 1931, Los Nefilim's existence is shaken by the preternatural forces commanding them … and a half-breed caught in-between.
Diago Alvarez, a singular being of daimonic and angelic descent, is pulled into the ranks of Los Nefilim in order to protect his newly-found son. As an angelic war brews in the numinous realms, and Spain marches closer to civil war, the destiny of two worlds hangs on Diago's actions. Yet it is the combined fates of his lover, Miquel, and his young son, Rafael, that weighs most heavily on his soul.
Lyrical and magical, Los Nefilim explores whether moving towards the light is necessarily the right move, and what it means to live amongst the shadows.
You can also buy each individual novella in the series separately:
In Midnight's Silence, Part One
Without Light or Guide, Part Two

The search for a missing millionaire executive of a UK newspaper has entered its second week after Latvian police failed to make any headway on his disappearance last week.
Leonid Rozhetskin, the Russian-born backer of the business free sheet City A.M., has not been seen since last weekend when he vanished from his holiday home in Latvia. The businessman, who co-founded a movie production company last year, was due to produce a film about the Russian mafia called Three Wolves.
Police have launched a massive hunt for Mr Rozhetskin, who is now a US citizen, after finding blood stains and broken furniture at his house in the coastal resort of Jurmala last Sunday. Local reports have called the circumstances of his disappearance "murky".
One local newspaper has claimed that the last person to see Mr Rozhetskin, 41, was a taxi driver who picked him up from his home along with two other men in the early hours of last Sunday morning, dropping the trio in the centre of Riga, outside the gay nightclub XXL. The club's employees have told police that they did not see the businessman. His car was found later in the capital's suburbs.
Detectives are thought to be pursuing three theories: that Mr Rozhetskin was targeted by a far-right group because of his private life; that he was the victim of a contract killing linked to his business background; or that he may simply have opted to disappear.
Two years ago, Russian prosecutors placed the media executive on a wanted list for an alleged $40m (£20m) fraud. Mr Rozhetskin is a shareholder in the Dutch consortium that owns 50 per cent of City A.M. and ran the movie production company L+E Productions with Eric Eisner.
He is the former executive vice chairman of Russia's biggest mining company, Norilsk Nickel, and he used to own a quarter of Russia's third largest mobile operator, MegaFon. He has one son and splits his time between London and Los Angeles.

Almost Simple
"I need a hero! To save my life...." her alarm went off. Skillet's Hero, rang in her ears. She loved this song, but that didn't matter right now. The cold wooden floor woke her up, slightly.
"Another day," she sighed. Why was it a Friday? Why couldn't she have something to do tomorrow? She shook her head. "Whatever. Let's just get today over with."
She barely made the bus again. "Hey, you're late. What's up?" Shane asked sitting in the seat next to her.
School stunk, as usual. She packed up her books. She was skipping the last period. "Where you going?" asked a familiar voice. Caught.
"Leaving, Shane. Don't even attempt to stop me, I'm out of this place."
"Mind if I join you?"
"What?" she asked confused.
"You didn't think I wanted to hang out here, did you?"
She smiled, "Well, hurry up. We don't got all day."
"Nope, just the remaining part."
Janet ran into her house to drop off all of her junk. She opened the door and froze. Her father was watching tv and eating something other than microwave mac and cheese. The house was somewhat clean. "Oh, Janet, you're home."
"Yeah, and you're not passed out."
"Whose that?" he asked straining his neck to try and see out thee door.
"No one," She stepped into his line of vision.
He raised an eyebrow. "It's a boy. You're no going out tonight."
"I don't think you are in the position to lay down the law, right now. I'm going to go hang out with my friends, goodbye."
"No you're not. I'll go out there and tell him to go away."
She was about to scream at him, but she was caught off guard. Everything was backwards. What was going on? Instead she walked out side to Shane. "My dad is having a mental breakdown. I think he's confused about his identity."
"Have you told him that superman doesn't live in-" His cell cut him off. He checked the screen, it was obviously a text. "Dang it, Hayley," he mumbled. "I got to go anyways, sorry. I'll probably talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye," she said a little confused. He ran off toward his house. "Whose Hayley?" She turned around and squealed. Her father only about a foot away from her, ams crossed. "What is wrong with you?"
"Who is that?"
"Who? Shane?"
"He looks to old for you."
"What? We are in the same grade? Wait! Why am I explaining this to you?" She pushed past him and ran into her room. As she sat on the bed, she noticed something fall out of a box in her closet. She went to investigate. It was a small journal. "What the heck?" her eyes widened as she opened it.


text: Mickey, agree about Lee, dont know how you can get any better than that. Haha, dont know if snap count gate is up and running now. I learned now that the side judge isnt on the line now like they have been in the past, but I am sure that NFL Sound has that miced up, where the NFL League can listen to see how Bowen and Redskins were imitating the snap count cadance, but the cowboys need to fix that regardless. Better get to matthew stafford, then slow down calvin johnson at WR. Very athtletic, can go up and get ball, shield off defender, so at cb, they give away 4 inches or so covering Johnson. So, you had better get to Stafford. Mickey:Suh, well, Mr Suh as what i like to call him, cant pronounce his name, but lets not forget vanden bosh, was a huge free agent signing at DE, and he will cause problems too, and with 2 of them, even though he seems injured and not getting back healthy into this game. On their depth chart, they move him around looking for weak spot, and with our offensive line, were lighweights compared to their defensive linemen, with costa, nagy, and others. Austin, beuhler, scandrick are looking like they will be back, after bye, and dockery a couple more weeks after bye, and hatcher after bye, and dez wont be 100 % but will try to get through this one. Alot of guys are banged up now, and you just have to get through this til bye week.

untitled 108
I am shallow
I am weak
I am fragile,
or so you speak.
I promised I would push myself,
in my reading, literature and art.
I told you I'd become stronger in my sport,
and my heart.
But, really, when we argued,
and I broke down and cried,
I lied to you in earnest, because
I knew I was the reason why.

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for season six of Game of Thrones. You've been warned.
Here it is, folks. That time is upon us once again. After nine episodes of excruciating, tense drama in the lives of the characters in Game of Thrones, the season finale is right around the corner. This season, season six, has been called the show's most successful and iconic and has featured some of it's most intense scenes and plotlines (episode nine's 'Battle of the Bastards' just stole the bloody crown as the highest rated episode of TV in history) —but, if reviews are to be believed, we haven't seen nothing yet.
Tonight's episode, 'The Winds of Winter', promises a mirage of plotlines, conclusions to stories and, in true Thrones-style, a lot of blood. But whose exactly? And in what way?
In preparation for tonight's glory, let's break down the most popular theories and what they would mean for the people of Westeros.
The Theory: If it hasn't been made abundantly clear by the 'flashbacks' of Bran's teachings, something serious is going down with Ned Stark's sister Lyanna and the Mad King's son Rhaegar Targaryen (Daenerys' brother). A theory, one that has been prevalent since the first book was released, might be realised tonight: R+L=J. Or, Lyanna and Rhaegar are the true parents of Jon Snow.
The Evidence: This one is as done and dusted as theories come. All the evidence is strongly on the side of Jon Targaryen. Rhaegar kidnaps Lyanna Stark after falling in love with her, Ned discovers her covered in blood in the Tower of Joy being protected by Targaryen men, Ned then returns home to Winterfell with a mysterious child he says is his, but won't name the mother of. Conclusion? Dany has a new, legitimate rival to her throne.
The Fall Out: Nothing for now. If we find out that R+L does indeed equal J, it'll be through Bran's flashbacks, and considering Bran is quite a bit away from Winterfell (not to mention that big wall of ice), Jon won't find out about his true parentage for a while (and neither will anybody else).
Lady Stoneheart
The Theory: For those who don't know, in the books, after the gruesome death of Catelyn Stark, Lord Beric Dondarrion makes a decision to bring her back from the dead, Jon Snow-style. The only problem with that, is that Catelyn had already been dead for three days (not to mention floating in a river). The result is a mutilated corpse without the ability to speak (throat cut deal, you know?) who her followers call Lady Stoneheart. She teams up with some of Beric's band and kills anyone she considers to be a Lannister or Frey sympathiser as revenge for the deaths of her son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby. Fans were upset that she was initially excluded from the storyline, but she may be about to make her eerie appearance in tonight's episode.
The Evidence: 1) Catelyn's death was featured in one of Bran's quick-fire visions, 2) the reappearance of Beric's crew in the Hound's scenes might be an indicator, and 3) with the taking-back of Winterfell and the changing of the tides against its enemies, now would be a pretty good time for Stoneheart to make her dramatic appearance.
The Fall Out: Even though Lady Stoneheart is still technically Catelyn, she's a much more vengeful creature (in the books, she even tries to kill Brienne) which means she's a wildcard. On one hand, she could be useful can kill the Freys/take back Riverrun, on the other? She could cause some chaos (especially for her remaining children).
Cersei's Prophecy
The Theory: Cersei's well-done and often-referenced prophecy about herself reads that all her children will die and then she will eventually be killed by her 'little brother'. Now since the first half of that has pretty much come true already (R.I.P Princess Myrcella, Un-R.I.P King Joffrey), most believe that episode 10 will see the deaths of her last child, King Tommen, and her herself. The prevailing theory here is that Cersei plans to burn down the Red Keep (and probably a lot of the rest of King's Landing) with wildfire, with Tommen dying either before that to set her off or during. As for the little brother part, don't rely too heavy on Tyrion for the killing. Cersei has two little brothers, Tyrion—and her younger twin brother Jaime.
The Evidence: Some tense clips in the trailer for the episode seem to be eluding to the above, as well as the actual prophecy itself.
The Fall Out: Two of the major players (best case scenario) will be dead. King's Landing, the Faith Militant, some of the Tyrells and probably a lot of KL's residents will also be dead, leaving the capitol ripe for the taking. For Daenerys maybe? Or whoever else gets there first.
Sansa Might Be Pregnant
The Theory: Sansa's vicious but oh-so-satisfying killing of Ramsay Bolton could be fuelled by more than just revenge for her horrifying marriage – but the result of it, too. Speculation has been a'swirling that Sansa might be pregnant from her short lived but disgusting marriage to Lord Bolton. Will Sansa make a dramatic reveal of her pregnancy in the season finale? The timing would be devastating, and it would definitely complicate things with Winterfell's new, more Stark-friendly direction. A Thrones regular, Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos) has already semi-denied this, but it wouldn't be the first time an actor has lied to our faces (here's looking at you, Kit).
The Evidence: Sansa ("I can still feel it. I don't mean 'in my tender heart, it still pains me so.' I can still feel what he did, in my body, standing here, right now.") and Ramsay ("You can't kill me, I'm part of you now") exchanged some loaded words in episode's past that could have some non-metaphorical consequences, and all those coats and capes Sansa has been wearing might not be just for the cold.
The Fall Out: Taking into account the above theory about Jon's true parentage as a Targaryen (which might be revealed this episode), Rickon and Robb's untimely deaths, and Bran's current and most likely permanent location, Sansa is currently the heir to Winterfell. A Bolton baby would definitely complicate things for the future Queen in the North.
Red Wedding 2.0
The Theory: Continuing on from the season's 'they had it comin'' theme, some fans think a little Red Wedding 2.0 action might be on the table. The trailer shows the Freys and Lannisters doing some shady toasts at The Twins where Robb, Talisa and Catelyn died, meaning that A) Jaime Lannister could double-cross them and install Bronn as the new lord of the crossing, or B) Arya could have stolen a face from the Freys and is planning a Kill Bill-esque take down.
The Evidence: Some ominous music, some symbolic toasting and one very pissed off junior assassin.
The Fall Out: Not much fall out from the Freys being dead (apart from some celebrating perhaps), but any injury to Jaime Lannister could have consequences for Cersei and/or Tyrion.
The Wall vs The White Walkers
The Theory: Will the finale episode see the White Walkers face off against their biggest adversary, the Wall? Perhaps. Every so often Game of Thrones gently reminds us that the lords and ladies of Westeros aren't really the big problem when there are a million ice zombies ready to take over the world. The season finale seems like the perfect time to do a little Wall-crushing reminding.
The Evidence: The White Walkers made some pretty significant appearances in episodes of late, both in real form (killing both defenceless wolves and Hodors) and in dream-form (just being generally pretty scary). Game of Thrones doesn't like finishing a season without reminding us who the real Big Bad is.
The Fall Out: Apart from, you know, all of Westeros being invaded by slaughtering zombies from ice hell, this would make things especially difficult for both Jon and the North and Daenerys and her dragons.
Honorable Mentions:
Daenerys Reaches Westeros: Will the finale see Daenerys finally set foot in her homeland and begin her campaign? She has the ships, she has the Screamers and she has the dragons. But we're thinking a little Uncle Euron might stand in the way, first.
The Fall Of The Tyrells: Considering they have the Lannisters as their enemies, including a slightly unhinged Cersei, things aren't looking good for the sweet Tyrells – especially not for Loras and Olenna.
The Hound vs The Mountain: It might be a little unfair now, since one is an undead Frankenstein's monster, but this could bring some closure for the poor Hound (and give him something to do, too).

It's been a great month for fans of elite racing. Highlights have included Jenny Simpson [1]'s American indoor 2-mile record of 9:18.35 [2]; Florence Kiplagat's world half marathon record [3] of 1:05:09; Genzebe Dibaba [4]'s world indoor 5000-meter record [5] of 14:18.86; and Mo Farah [6]'s world indoor 2-mile record [7] of 8:03.40.
The video above features those accomplishments and a few other elite races from early 2015, including January's Dubai Marathon. We're partial to the women's half marathon clip, as it's nice to see a record-breaking elite finish looking exhausted rather than ready for another go at it.
Two World, One U.S. Record at New Balance Indoors Grand Prix [2]

Assembly Passes Bill to Expand California's Film Tax Credit
A measure passed by the state Assembly would expand the state's film tax credit, and supporters say this will help keep the film industry from leaving California.
Assembly Bill 1839 would renew and increase a state tax credit, amounting to as much as $400 million a year, compared to the current $100 million.
This would help California compete with other states like New York, Louisiana and Georgia.
The bill would remove the current restrictions that prevent movies with budgets greater than $75 million from qualifying for those incentives.
There are a lot of groups backing this bill, including movie-trade unions, film studio, and film commissions saying California has been losing business to other states and countries with better incentives.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where it's expected to face a tougher challenge since some lawmakers have been skeptical of the program.

Pulmonary Research Institute of Southeast Michigan, Livonia, MI
SESSION TITLE: COPD Treatment Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: The efficacy of olodaterol 5 µg QD versus placebo has been demonstrated in a broad COPD population with moderate to very severe disease receiving background of usual-care COPD therapies. A post hoc pooled analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of olodaterol in a subgroup of patients with moderate to severe disease (GOLD 2-3) who were not receiving background maintenance bronchodilator therapies (trial conditions more closely corresponding to traditional COPD bronchodilator studies).
METHODS: Four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies (NCT00782210; NCT00782509; NCT00793624; NCT00796653) investigated olodaterol 5 or 10 µg QD via Respimat® versus placebo for 48 weeks, with patients allowed to continue their usual COPD care during the trial, including SAMA, LAMA, ICS, and xanthines. Data from a subgroup of GOLD 2 or 3 patients not receiving SAMA, LAMA, xanthines, or beta-blockers as maintenance therapy during the study was pooled for analysis.
RESULTS: Of the 3104 patients from the total pooled study populations, 1127 were included in the subgroup. A higher treatment response to olodaterol 5 µg versus placebo over 48 weeks was observed in the subgroup compared to the full analysis set (FAS). Mean difference from placebo for FEV1 AUC0-3 response was 0.186 L in the subgroup compared to 0.161 L in the FAS. Mean trough FEV1 response (versus placebo) was 0.101 L in the subgroup compared to 0.071 L in the FAS. Within the subgroup, both FEV1 AUC0-3 and trough FEV1 responses were higher in GOLD 2 (0.197 and 0.121 L, respectively) compared to GOLD 3 patients (0.161 and 0.064 L, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of bronchodilator response to olodaterol is influenced by baseline disease severity and background concomitant therapies.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Careful attention to the severity of disease and permitted background therapies is required when interpreting results from bronchodilator studies in COPD. Funding: Boehringer Ingelheim. Editorial assistance: Complete HealthVizion.

What led to the discovery of the source of the Nile.
London Blackwood 1864 - First edition. 8vo., x, [1], 372pp., 32 pages ads at end (lightly browned) frontispiece, 1 double-page and 1 folding map, original brown cloth gilt, spotting to verso of dedication, contents leaf and four succeeding pages, neat repair to head of spine, a very good example. A scarce work detailing the discovery of Lakes Tanganyika and Victoria. An account of Speke's first journey to Central Africa as part of Richard Burton's expedition, during which Speke claimed to have discovered the source of the Nile, a claim vigourously disputed by Burton, although time was to prove Speke correct. In 1856, funded by the Royal Geographical Society, Burton and Speke teamed up to explore the uncharted lake regions of central Africa, hoping also to discover the source of the Nile. Leaving from Zanzibar in June 1857, they located Lake Tanganyika in February 1858. The expedition was fraught with problems with porters, much equipment was lost or stolen, and tropical diseases weakened both men for long periods. With Burton too sick to accompany him, Speke journeyed farther north and found Lake Victoria. No European had ever seen these lakes, but Speke lacked the supplies and equipment to undertake a proper survey. The explorers returned to England separately, Speke arriving first and claiming he had discovered the Nile's source. Burton, who had kept detailed geographical and cultural notes, argued that Speke's evidence was inconclusive and lacked accurate measurements. A long, public quarrel between the men ensuedand continued after Speke's second expedition (1860-1863) to the lake region with James Augustus Grant. It ended on 16 September 1864. Just before the two men were scheduled to debate the Nile issue in front of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, word arrived that Speke had died in a freak hunting accident. Many believed it was a suicide. The book is in two parts, the first Journal of adventures in Somali-Land, the second Journal of a cruise on the Tanganyika Lake. Hilmy II, p255.

high energy stuff
Great product at a great price. I add a teaspoonful to my morning drink and get all sorts of green benefits and probiotic essentials. I especially like products like this in winter when fresh greens are harder to come by. Seems to be high quality.
Did not like the taste, and tested high in arsenic

I was excited to get Green Vibrance because I needed a whole food supplement in powder form, and I finally found one that was supposed to be good on many levels. However, I couldn't get past the taste. I just really really did not like it. Yes, it's a green product, but I'm just being honest in my review here. I wouldn't buy it again just because of the taste. I also found out today when looking for something with a different flavor, that studies showed that Green Vibrance tested very high in arsenic, reaching above the allowed safe level.

Actor Soha Ali Khan, who will be seen playing a journalist in the film, War Chod Naa Yaar, shot a scene at her ancestral home in Pataudi.
"The director wanted something very different and while searching for places, they found (Soha's) Pataudi house apt for the scene," says a source from the set.
Being directed by Faraz Haider, the film also features Sharman Joshi, Jaaved Jaffrey and Mukul Dev. The team has also shot in Bikaner and Delhi.
Apparently, Soha, 34, was happy to wrap up the shoot in Delhi because the heat was taking a toll on her.

Article 23 law is an obligation, says China expert
Hongkongers reminded of duty to pass national security legislation in fight for the right to vote
Related topics
Hongkongers should not ignore their obligation to enact national security legislation even as they fight for universal suffrage, a leading mainland expert on the Basic Law says.
Rao Geping, a member of the Basic Law Committee, told the South China Morning Post on Monday that passing the national security law required under Article 23 of Hong Kong's Basic Law - and pursuing universal suffrage in a "comprehensive manner" - were more crucial than technical issues such as the nomination threshold for chief executive candidates in 2017.
Rao was speaking amid heated debate on universal suffrage. Some democracy activists, impatient at the city government's lack of consultation on introducing universal suffrage in 2017, are planning an Occupy Central movement in protest.
Hongkongers, he said, should "fully and accurately implement" the Basic Law, rather than doing so in a selective manner.
Stressing that it was his personal opinion, Rao said Hongkongers should not simply enjoy their rights while disregarding their obligations.
"Enacting legislation to implement Article 23 is an obligation stipulated in the Basic Law," he said.
"Yet nearly 16 years since the handover, the legislation has yet to be enacted. You can't choose Basic Law clauses you like while ignoring others you dislike."
Rao said proposals like the Occupy Central movement were irrational and irresponsible.
In 2003, the city's government shelved the proposed national security laws after more than 500,000 people joined the historic July 1 march against them.
Rao, who is also deputy director of the Institute of Hong Kong and Macau Affairs and a law professor at Peking University, said many mainlanders believed it would set a bad precedent if Beijing allowed Hong Kong to introduce universal suffrage without passing the national security law under Article 23.
"It would undermine the authority of the central government and the Basic Law," he said.
Rao said the process of achieving universal suffrage would be smoother if the problem surrounding national security legislation could be resolved earlier.
Enacting the legislation would involve some difficulties, he acknowledged, but those should not be used as an excuse to turn a blind eye to the issue.

Enjoy genuine hi-fi sound quality but demand discreet style? Then take a look at the ground-breaking Cambridge Audio Minx system!
If you're in any doubt about the quality of this system then take a look at what the reviewers have been saying. "Well, Bose is about to get a sound thrashing from the British boys at Cambridge Audio, whose brand-new Minx is even smaller than Acoustimass - especially the subwoofer - and simply better. Much, much better." Jonathan Margolis, Financial Times. And, "To say we were impressed is a gross understatement." T3
Small yet mighty
It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X200! Like the other Minx subs, the X201 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. At the heart of the X201 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass from what is one of the world's smallest subwoofers. To maximise this advantage the bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace grade aluminium.
One powered, two passive cones
Configured with a single, powered cone and twin passive cones, the X201 uses technology not before available at this price. Compared to the more conventional bass ports, you get a greatly enhanced bass response with far more detail and control. Although small, the X201 packs a mighty 200W from its active amplifier and offers gain, phase and crossover control for full control and integration with a complete Minx system.
Finished in special, scratch-resistant, premium automotive gloss black paint, the X201 is the perfect match for most hi-fi, home cinema and TV systems. Prepare to be impressed!

Lucky FallMature
'Shit!' I screeched, sitting bolt upright. I expected myself to be covered in blood and cuts and bruises and such... but I was laying on something soft, and crisp, white quits surrounded me like a nest.
'...Eh?' I gasped, I noticed I was clothed in a cream nighty. How many years had it been since I had worn one of them? I looked up to see maroon red and golden canopy hung above my head, help up by huge, oak posts which were located at each corner of the bed I was in.
Hang on... I fell down a hole... why was I here? Where was Jay?! I jumped up, I flinched expecting to bang my head on the canopy. As I did so, it floated higher. I froze, a long strand of curly blonde hair fell over my shoulder as my body became rigid and stiff.
'Miss Natalie! Your awake!' A gleeful voice cried, I felt the mattress shudder as someone else put their weight on it.
I stared down at the creature which had presented itself in front of me. It had a faint silver glow around it's body. It looked like a door-mouse crossed with a toy doll. It was a peculiar thing indeed.
'Sorry about your new appearance! It was required! We had to change it to allow you to enter the castle! I designed it! I hope it is to your liking!' It squeaked, it was also tiny... so small and... so fluffy...
'Your cute...' I smiled in a daze, it's aura went from silver to pink and it smiled nervously.
'I am Nertial. Your humble servant. And you, Natalie Walsh, are the Queen's loyal bard!'
'What's a bard?'
'A poet, a person of fine music and art.' Nertial sighed, 'now, for the mirror!'
A massive mirror rolled in, I stared at a face that did not belong to me. It was pale, so pale I could see the faint outlines of blue veins pumping through it's neck. almond-shaped, electric green eyes framed my thick, blonde lashes. Golden hair framed a small and slender body(like my own, but much more toned) down to it's toes... such wonderful hair...
'How do you like your new body, Bard Natalie?' Nertial asked nervously.
'Eh... I'm not a bard... and this... isn't my... body...' I stared at the mirror and back at the creature which called me "the queens poet"... and everything clicked together in my mind.

Here's what you should read about the closing of London's fabric
You've probably already been inundated in social media with this news — London's nightclub fabric saw its license revoked overnight last night. But there's more to this story than simply another casualty of urban nightlife. With so much ink being spilt on this issue (uh, pixels being killed?), there are a few points to highlight.
Let's talk about laptops in the DJ booth
Last week stirred up something of a fracas in the DJ community, as Los Angeles club The Cure and the Cause announced a ban on laptops in the DJ booth – the announcement of which then went perdictably viral. That much turned out to be brilliant publicity: club trolls DJs, magazine trolls DJs, "controversy" generates social media traffic. Here's the problem, though: once you get past the nonsense about "talent" and laptops, I think there should really be no controversy here. What The Club and the Cure said about laptops and controllers I think is dead-on – and hard to …
Now you can practice getting into Berghain in your browser
Well, it's official: viral online jokes about Berghain, Berlin's club venue, occur with the same frequency as its Klubnacht. But this deserves some mention, in that it says perhaps less about Berghain as it does about Berlin's culture of obsessive-compulsive technologists. Because this throwaway joke about getting into the club is actually a pretty impressive interactive video game.
A photo series documents clubs after the party
DJs, electronic musicians, and true fans know a side of clubland that is anything but glamorous. They know the brutal boredom of dressing rooms, the glaring reality of clubs with all the lights on. And DJs and staff are all too familiar with the wrecked landscape of clubs after the patrons have left.

This Movie Clip Sums Up the SFX-Beatport Vision of the Future of Dance Music
Synergy. That's the direction you can expect from Beatport and SFX Entertainment. And the speech above from the film In Good Company more or less fits. (The plot of that 2004 movie even includes an acquisition by a conglomerate.) Basically, SFX may have solved the problem of how to make money in the streaming business – by making its money elsewhere. Or, it seems that's the plan. Here's the problem: music streaming has razor-thin margins versus sales. The artists and labels eek out fairly small bits of change, generally. They can blame the streaming services, but with those services having …
Could You Someday Wear Speakers? Wearable Tech and Expression
Wearable tech so far has often tended to dresses that light up or wristwatches that act as remote controls for your smartphone. But what if wearable tech actually produced sound – and it wasn't a pair of headphones? That's the question posed by SubPac. It's a sort of backpack subwoofer aimed both at improving tactile bass response for consumers and allowing proper bass monitoring for DJs and producers – you know, when they can't just try their latest mix on a big club PA. We've covered wearable tech on CDM before – we've even hosted workshops and labs on the …
The Dazzling, Futuristic Lighting of Licht.Pfad, Transforming Clubs and Beyond
Light Installations Show Reel 2013-2014 from Licht.Pfad Studio on Vimeo. Seeing the future of light in performance, installation, and clubs doesn't necessarily mean waiting around for some fantastic, new kind of lighting instrument. That requires big manufacturers making mass-market products, and their priorities don't always align with artists. Instead, what we're seeing is often traditional lighting technologies, choreographed in spectacular new ways. With elaborate computer control, the lights themselves form architectural patterns, dance, and come alive. Licht.Pfad have actually been behind a number of projects covered on this site. Using the visual development tool TouchDesigner, they've built their own tool …
Classroom Projectors Solve a Tough Club Mapping Install in India [Resolume Arena, Beamers]
VJ app makers are routinely profiling their customers, but this particular case studio deserves extra mention. (And not just because the DJs apparently wear wings there – time to up our game.) At New Delhi, India's Kitty Su, classroom/business mirror projectors allowed extreme short throw — a stunningly-short 10″ (25 cm) — resolving the shadows that normally plague club projection. The results look terrific. In this case, Resolume Arena handles both processing the unusual output size (4200px X 550px) and mapping to the surface, all in one app. That's the latest example of working directly in the visual app rather …
Mapping, Beyond Projectors: ArKaos Adds Serious Plug-and-Play Pixel, LED Features
It sounds like the computer system on a Bird of Prey on Star Trek, but Kling-Net is at the heart of where VJ and media server maker ArKaos – and a lot of the live visual world – is headed. Forget the phrase "projection mapping," and think "video mapping" and "pixel mapping." Yes, projectors will still be a big part of live visuals. But they'll be just one outlet for visual performance, alongside increasingly-sophisticated LED lighting. And LED lighting is increasingly looking like a major choice in installations. Let me put that in less technical terms: more bright shiny, shiny …

Officials to discuss San Tomean China tour: source
By Joseph Yeh, The China Post Monday, June 16, 2014, 12:06 am TWN
A senior official from Taiwan's African ally San Tome and Principle is scheduled to meet with Foreign Minister David Lin (林永樂) today and the two sides might talk about President Manuel Pinto da Costa's recent China visit, a source told The China Post yesterday.
A diplomatic source who prefers to remain anonymous told The China Post yesterday that Amaro Pereira do Couto, the Chief of Staff of the Presidency of the Republic Democratic of Sao Tome and Principe, was scheduled to arrive in Taipei late yesterday for a visit.
The ministry has made arrangements for the senior San Tomean official to meet with Lin today at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' (MOFA) headquarters in Taipei, the source said.
One of the major topics the two sides are likely to touch upon is a recent China tour made by President Pinto da Costa, the source noted.
According to foreign media reports, President Pinto da Costa departed his country on June 6 to China and Portugal as part of a private visit.
He was scheduled to visit both Shanghai and Beijing during a weeklong private stay in China before flying to Portugal for another two weeks of private business, reports said.
The itinerary of the African leader's trip in China is different than the information the ally previously told Taiwan's embassy in Sao Tome and Principe.
According to MOFA, the Sao Tomean leader told Taiwan that he would be visiting Shanghai only and the trip was meant to attract Chinese investment for a construction project on a deep water port in Sao Tome and Principe.
The Sao Tomean president stressed that he would not engage in any official activities during his tour in China and noted that the visit would not harm bilateral ties between the R.O.C. and his country, according to MOFA.
Chinese authorities last Wednesday also confirmed the visit.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a news source that Pinto da Costa "attended economic and trade activities in a private capacity," but she said she did not have the specific itinerary.
MOFA's Grave Concern
In response to the visit, MOFA expressed the nation's grave concerns over the ally leader's China tour.
Though the ministry had been informed of the trip beforehand, MOFA said Taiwan's government asked Sao Tome and Principe to cherish the long-term friendship between the two countries and not engage in similar activities that will affect two-way relations again in the future, it noted.
The San Tomean president promised that he will be leading a delegation on a state visit to Taiwan before the end of this year or early in 2015 in a concrete move to solidify ties, the MOFA added.

In his first report since taking office in July, the new United Nations chief monitor of Iraq's weapons programs concludes that the Government of Saddam Hussein is continuing to hide information on biological arms and is also withholding some data on chemical weapons and missiles.
The report is by by Richard Butler, the Australian arms control expert who is now executive chairman of the United Nations Special Commission, set up by the Security Council in 1991 to disarm Iraq after the Persian Gulf war. It rejects Iraq's contention that it has met all the requirements for the lifting of sanctions imposed after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. United Nations satisfaction that Iraq has met disarmament requirements is tied to the nation's freedom to sell oil beyond the limited quantities allowed to raise money for urgent civilian needs.
''There is incomprehension of why Iraq is persisting so strongly with both refusing to make the facts known about its biological weapons program and why it is so insistent on blocking the commission's own efforts to reach those facts,'' Mr. Butler wrote. ''The outstanding problems are numerous and grave.''
On Wednesday Mr. Butler, a former Australian representative at the United Nations, will discuss the report with the five permanent members of the Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. The full Security Council is expected to begin debating the Iraq situation on Oct. 16.Continue reading the main story
The report, while finding some progress in accounting for chemical weapons and missiles, suggests that Mr. Hussein will not find Mr. Butler any less vigilant or insistent on complete disclosure than his predecessor, Rolf Ekeus, now Sweden's Ambassador to the United States, who devised and ran the inspection system for six years.
A separate monitoring system for nuclear weapons was established in Iraq by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is close to declaring Iraq free of arms.
The newest findings on other prohibited weapons, based on investigations as late as the beginning of this month, will not give much support to Security Council members like Russia, France and Egypt, which (often with the backing of China) have argued for a quicker pace in ending sanctions.
''Iraq's behavior has not improved,'' said James P. Rubin, the State Department spokesman in an interview today. ''There is no reason for any serious proposal to ease the sanctions. On the contrary, the only question is how strongly the council will react to their continued intransigence.''
In September, Tariq Aziz, Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister and chief negotiator on the sanctions issue, declared in a letter to the United Nations that Baghdad had made a ''full, final and complete disclosure'' on its biological weapons programs, which it says have all been terminated. But today's United Nations report replies that Iraq, which had been experimenting with some of the deadliest germ warfare compounds known to science, has still failed to give ''a remotely credible account'' of the weapons.
The Iraqi failure to respond satisfactorily to increasingly direct questions about suspected biological weapons projects, coupled with what the commission describes as obvious efforts to conceal evidence or move it out of the way of inspectors, makes it easier for the United States to press for additional sanctions against Baghdad.Continue reading the main story

Looking for a Used DTS in your area?
CarGurus has 1,630 nationwide DTS listings starting at $1,995.
2011 Cadillac DTS Overview
The 2011 Cadillac DTS lives on and offers up many of the same features that marked its debut in limousine form for the second inauguration of President George Herbert Walker Bush in 2005. It provides a smooth, extremely roomy, comfortable and luxurious ride in the grand American auto-as-big-boat tradition.
Rolling out with "W" was perhaps fitting for the DTS, which was the next generation of Cadillac's DeVille. The car carries itself in a conservative, presidential manner and has been a vehicle of choice for those transporting politicians, celebrities and others of that ilk.
A 4.6-liter Northstar V8 that produces 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque powers most trims of the 2011 Cadillac DTS. Cadillac pairs that engine with an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive for a combo that gets 15 mpg city/23 highway. The top-of-the-line Platinum trim has a 4.6-liter V8 NHP engine that creates 292 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque. That powerplant teams with a Hydra-Matic four-speed transmission with performance shifting for 15 city/22 highway mpg.
A vehicle made for cruising, the DTS, which has been rumored to be on the way out as a model for a couple of years, leaves the sporty side of things to Cadillac's rear- and all-wheel-drive STS models. At 207.6 inches long and 74.8 inches wide, the DTS is the big boy of the family.
The DTS rides that way, quietly chewing up highway mileage and always ready for long excursions, either with the family for pleasure or business trips. Some reviewers complain that it handles like a big rig, too, and is not particularly responsive. They aren't fans of its four-speed transmission, either, when five- and six-speed versions are common in other vehicles. Owners don't seem to find fault with any of that and tend to love the ride. The large trunk, by the way, will hold all kinds of luggage for that family getaway. Or it will handle four golf bags.
Reviewers praise the tasteful interior of the DTS, its design and quality materials and roominess for passengers in particular. Bucket seats pamper the driver and front passenger, but an optional bench seat can turn the DTS into a rare six-seater.
General Motors packs the 2011 Cadillac DTS with goodies, as would be expected, from a base trim that starts at about $47,000 on up. Features include heated seats for the driver and front passenger, leather seats, a navigation system and heated side mirrors, also for driver and passenger. A driver information center provides updates on data such as miles' range, average and instant miles per gallon, tire pressure and oil life.
Safety features include antilock brakes, brake assist, traction control, side guard door beams and an array of airbags: driver, passenger, front side and side head curtain.
GM upped the ante in required maintenance with the 2011 Cadillac DTS as well as its other 2011 models. Oil changes, tire rotations, engine and cabin filter replacements and vehicle inspections are among the check-ups that will be provided free for the first 50,000 miles, or first four years of life, of any 2011 Caddy.
What's your take on the 2011 Cadillac DTS?

System Insights M2M Technology Improves Automation Featured in Machine to Machine Solutions
System Insights' predictive analytical solution was featured in an article by Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor. The article, titled, "M2M Technology Can Improve Automation of Machine Integration,"
According to Baburajan, "Automation of machine integration reduces the hurdles associated with the process. It delivers continuous operation and reduced variability at the expense of having no human monitoring and validating the operation of the machine."
System Insights is offering a predictive analytics solution, the vimana software, which combines the capabilities of big data and cloud computing to deliver the data that enables customers to realize sustainable manufacturing objectives. The software finds application in machining based, discrete and process industries.
The Berkeley, California-based company believes machine integration is specific to that process. Robots are often used in these processes especially those involving heavy lifting or are dangerous. However, in many instances, the process of employing robots is costlier than manual labor because many of the jobs still demand human intervention. Another factor that slows down the process is the use of wired technology.
System Insights says automation does not reduce jobs; rather it creates more jobs because companies see increased productivity and so they will be encouraged to compete more in the global market.
Technology Marketing Corporation (TMCnet), based in Norwalk, CT and founded in 1972, is the world's leading business to business and integrated marketing media company, servicing niche markets within the communications and technology industries.
About System Insights
System Insights, (www.systeminsights.com) based in Berkeley, California, with offices in Chennai, India, is a leading global supplier of manufacturing software in both machining based, discrete and process industries. The SI flagship product - vimana - delivers predictive analytics solutions to improve clients' efficiency, productivity, and profitability. vimana provides these data while enabling customers to realize sustainable manufacturing objectives.
