My lecturer introduced me to semiotics by using this analogy.
"What is semiotics…? You walk into a room and smell something bad, something horrible. Searching around the room with your nose, you determine the foul odour is coming from beneath the floorboards. While prying open the floorboards you start thinking what it could be. Has something crawled and died underneath..? A mouse maybe..? Then you loosen the floorboards to discover…… a dead bird…… that's semiotics"
You're more than likely sitting there with a da fuq face of wide mouth confusion. But that's essentially what semiotics is, It is the study of signs and symbols. If you decode the gobbildy-goope Grandad's off his meds again, and ranting in his underpants statement…It makes sense.
The 'horrible smell' is a signifier of something that is bad/rotting/dead…and if you notice that the smell is coming from beneath the floorboards, you associate it with connotations of what are beneath floorboards. So you automatically put your detective hat on and go full Miss Marple and come to the conclusion that, 'bad smell' – death, 'under floorboards' – mouse. (Ha, well you're wrong it's a bird!!)
This whole finding a bird thing is an example of how people automatically decode and receive the signs. Birds are usually associated with the sky and flying, not floorboards and the same can be said vise-versa for the mouse…(unless the mouse is Stewart Little…didn't he fly a plane or some crap like that?) anyway, in this case the signifier is the smell and the signified is the idea we perceive from the smell i.e death. And smell of death from floorboards = dead mouse. These are predetermined signs that we have learned and stored from our hunter gatherer 'Ug, ug' phase of evolution, the commonsense signs that are embedded in our brain that tell us fire – hot, florescent frog – don't lick, and Justin Beiber – don't listen… Now, because we have evolved into a much more, hopefully coherent (minus Trump obviously) species, we now as a culture place significant values onto things to create our own signs, and these signifiers might not necessarily have anything to do with the signified notion in which these signs create…
Are we still in the room here..? Or am I trailing off into another Grandad stained underpants rant..? Oh here I'll let someone that's fake smarter than me explain… Sheldon explain…
But how can this knowledge be used throughout design..? Simples…all the time…
For example the choice and use of colour present in designs can create connotations to the viewer without necessarily being the langue (language) of said viewer. Let's look at the colour red as a case study.
In the western world red is used as a colour to convey and express danger, attention, beware etc. One of the most common and recognisable places this signifier is used would be in road traffic stop signs. It's a simple object, that's red with the words 'Stop' written on it, it does exactly what it say's on the tin, and makes you stop. But let's look at this with the Saussurean methods of semiotics. Is it the actual words present that tell us to do this..? If you were a native English speaker driving around Spain, drinking Sangria while eating paella and you come across a red sign that had 'Alto' written across it, what would you do..?
You'd stop obviously… (if you didn't think stop, you've just hit that bus full of blind orphans' on the way to their new parents on Christmas day…you dick)… But anyway, you'd stop… and why's that, since you're a native English speaker that can't be arsed to branch out and actually learn another language? Well, it's because of the colour red. The colour red, no matter where you are in the Western world has the same signified notion placed onto it, no matter what language you speak. Red means stop. So essentially our English speaking minds ignore the word 'Alto' because it has no significant meaning or place in our language, and we end up decoding the signifiers of what we do understand (in this scenario it being the colour). If you think about it, the langue (language) and parole (speech) of any country, technically doesn't mean anything… Words and speech are just shapes and sounds, that is until we create rules and place the relevant values onto them.
Let's go back to our dementia rant earlier if you remember, the whole mouse bird thing. Finding a bird in the floorboards was a shock to our system… It should have been a mouse for christ sake..?! But this is an example of how the speakers relevant idea can become distorted based on a listener's embedded code.
Design wise, let's go back to the colour red as an example. In Western culture the colour red has a personality, of danger, anger etc… People even say 'I saw red..!' to express the severity of their anger… It basically has a bad rep in our language depending on the hue… But lets look at this from an Eastern cultural perspective… their embedded code of the colour red is one of a positive significance. They see the colour red as a signifier of happiness and luck. They have placed a positive symbolic value onto something we see as a total opposite. And in design, we need to make sure we are aware of all the values in which the audience will receive the messages we want to convey, and that it will not get misinterpreted and the intended message distorted or decoded into something of complete opposite. So that red and black evil, angry poster you have just created for that heavy metal band might come out more happy Hello Kitty than evil Hell Kitty depending on the geometry and cultural factors that come along with the audience.
Also with the use of semiotics we can create much more powerful meaning with our images by letting viewers work out and decode our intended message. Let's be real, obvious imagery isn't your friend, and if it is, well it's you're obnoxious friend. You know, the one that ruins the punchline of your well set up joke or tells you Tyler Durden is Edward Norton before you've even seen the film… well yea, those kind…douches… People aren't stupid and like to figure out things for themselves, and this leads viewers to create and hold more values to said images. Let's take this imagery I created in college as an example.
Above is imagery I created in college for a 'Women's Aid' brief. 'Women's Aid' is a charity that helps women desperately seeking help from abuse. I could have just dove straight in and created an image where a woman and spouse are arguing, or I could have shown a slap, or a black eye. (But I ain't the friend that ruins the punchline) I like to create higher value by not stating the obvious. So let's decode this said image by using semiotic methods.
The black darkness of the image creates just that, a dark, black sinister mood, it is unnerving. The placement of the hands is of significance as it is reflecting the old Japanese proverb of the three monkeys 'See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil'. And in the Western world this phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye. Which unfortunately happens the majority of times in these kind of situations. Because the hands are smothering, overpowering the woman's facial features, it creates the feeling of being trapped, powerless. Reflecting those same emotions which are felt and seen throughout abusive relationships themselves. I'm making the viewer essentially feel these emotions, not tell them how they should be feeling. Also within these hands that are so domineering and overpowering, you can find a highly symbolic piece of jewellery placed on the left ring finger. A wedding band……..
I hope I have wiped the da fuq expression that was derped all over your face at the beginning of this blog. And have helped explain exactly what semiotics is, in an easy understandable way, and how it should be used through design. Hopefully I have also shown by example just exactly it's power and how it can create and say things without necessarily saying them. It can be used to influence viewers without telling them they are being influenced… It can make images contain unlimited significant value and content, making sure your ideas hit people with a closed fist… It is a powerful method to learn, or least know and understand as a designer/advertiser/brander/superhero… As being able to understand these methods, and how intended audiences decode things can have an enormous impact on how designs are received and interpreted.
If you would like to learn about the main different models of semiotics and how they are applied, you should check out the linguistics' Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce.
Keeping with the previous image theme. If you would like to find out more about images and how they can speak a thousand words please feel free to have a gander at another one of my eloquently written and thought poking, yet provoking blogs below…
If you have any questions or would like to give out or to even just chew the ear off me for some strange reason, just to drop me a 'Hello' you can whistle (preferably a wolf whistle) a tweet to me.

*Greetings from RFK Stadium. Gathering material for a print-online preview this weekend ahead of Sunday's match between D.C. United and the Philadelphia Union at RFK Stadium.
No love lost between the clubs, who have engaged in several ill-tempered matches, most recently a preseason affair in which Dwayne De Rosario head-butted former teammate Danny Cruz.
A couple of sneak-preview quotes to share:
"I don't like Philadelphia, to be honest with you," goalkeeper Bill Hamid said of the team, not the city. "It's always been like a New York and D.C. [rivalry]. Philly is a young group; I am a young guy. So I can relate to their hunger, their nastiness, their will to win. And they like bringing it."
Ben Olsen, on United's 1-4-1 start heading into the Philly match:
"The vibe is fairly good. It's a balance of positivity and carrying a stick right now. I have tried to manage that, but we have had good training sessions. The guys are talking and figuring out some things. … I am a fairly optimistic guy and we believe we can start this weekend moving up the table and get better."
Olsen said De Rosario could play 90 after going 45 in his return from injury last weekend.
*El Salvador will play Honduras in an under-20 friendly at the University of Maryland's Byrd Stadium on June 1 at 6 p.m., promoter Elias Polio said.
El Salvador is readying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey, starting June 21.
Awaiting comment from Maryland athletic department…..
Byrd, home to Maryland's football and lacrosse teams, had artificial turf installed last summer. The soccer teams play at nearby Ludwig Field, a multisport grass facility that can accommodate about 8,000 during the fall season. However, the temporary bleachers are not erected until the season approaches.
RFK Stadium was not available because of U.S. national team will play Germany on June 2.
Polio had been hoping to bring El Salvador's full national team to RFK in late June for a game against a Latin opponent, but the date would have been too close to the Gold Cup and potentially undermine CONCACAF's ticket-selling efforts for a tournament quarterfinal doubleheader four weeks later in Baltimore.
*After having him on loan this month, Sheffield Wednesday is optimistic about midfielder Stuart Holden rejoining the U.S. national team this summer. (The CONCACAF Gold Cup in July is more likely than the Belgium and Germany friendlies in late May and early June, and three subsequent World Cup qualifiers. U.S. assistant coach Andi Herzog recently attended a Sheffield match and met with club officials to assess Holden's status after years of injuries.
*Fox Soccer has agreed to carry six National Women's Soccer League matches — one per week starting July 8 — as well as the three playoff games in late August. The network and league have yet to determine which regular season matches will appear.
*New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis, whose father-in-law was injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan last night. He will appear on ABC's "20/20" at 10 p.m. Friday, as well:

Originally posted on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 4/4/12
Former Cardinal Terrence Williams may have finally found a permanent home in the NBA. After being waived by the Houston Rockets on March 16th, Williams singed a ten-day contract with the Sacramento Kings. The team recently rewarded Williams by turning his ten day contract into a contract for the remainder of the season. In seven games for the Kings, Williams has provided a great spark off the bench. His minutes and overall production have increased in each game he's played with Sacramento. In the last two games with the Kings, T-Will is 14 points and 9 rebounds in 32 minutes of action. He had one of his better performances of his career last night against the Phoenix Suns, totaling 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. T-Will is fortunate that he found another opportunity and the league. He appears to be making the most of it.

This is a discussion on Sparks summer special for SP101? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Does anyone here carry a 2 1/2" Ruger Sp101 in a sparks summer special IWB rig,if so how do you like it? Is it a ...
Does anyone here carry a 2 1/2" Ruger Sp101 in a sparks summer special IWB rig,if so how do you like it? Is it a comfortable and stable holster?
Snub nose revolvers,the original concealed carry guns.
I do, and almost never use it. As with other snubbies, and other IWB rigs, I find such a combo not as stable as a longer-barreled weapon in an IWB rig. I generally carry SP101s in Sparks PMK rigs, and yes, that does mean more than one SP101 at a time; from 2002 to 2007, I often toted multiple SP101s.
I have extensively used a G. Wm. Davis Security, which is almost identical to a Sparks Summer Special II, to carry a 1911, from the mid-1980's up to 2002. (And, may again in the future!) I used a Sparks Summer Special II to tote a Kahr K9 for a couple of years, and it worked well. I have a Sparks Summer Special II for a 5.5" SAA, which is comfortable and works very well.
My opinion of a snubby in a typical IWB rig? Too much bulk for too little depth. This is just my opinion. I think that an VM2 might be better for a snubby, as those leather "wings" spread the bulk of the belt loops over a wide area, and that width will also stabilize things better. This is based on speculation, and my experience with a VM2 for the P229, my presently most-carried weapon.
Just to be clear, the SS2 holds an SP101 just fine; it is the whole rig plus gun that is less comfortable and less stable. Like a keel on a sailboat, I think more barrel length helps stability. This IS with a double-thickness gunbelt. And, as with boats, if you can't have a deep keel, extra width adds stability. If ordering an IWB rig from Milt Sparks, for a snubby, I would go with a VM2.

This study focused on strengths and variables that contribute to marital successes for couples with children with autism spectrum disorders (in this article, referred to as "autism"). Particularly, the purpose of this study was to examine what husbands and wives with children with autism in contrast to couples with children who are typically developing identify as helpful to maintaining their marriages. Concept mapping methodology was used for this research study. Couples with children with autism and couples with children who are typically developing participated in telephone interviews and then grouped and rated the statements generated from their interviews. Groupings were translated into pictorial maps showing relationships and patterns. Couples with children with autism shared common perceptions about factors that help to keep their marriages strong: communication and shared foundational ideas about marriage. Communication was a cluster for all groups of husbands and wives. Only mothers of children with autism identified time for self-care as a distinct cluster.

It's the news no film fan wants to hear, but Quentin Tarantino may finally be hanging up his gloves after his next movie.
The man responsible for such classics as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, both Kill Bill's, Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained amongst others has finally had enough, and may be retiring after the completion of his next masterpiece.
That masterpiece being The Hateful Eight, which is already being tipped as a potential best-ever for the legendary director.
He recently mentioned he wants to bow out on a high during a Q&A session for the new film, which further adds to the fact that he thinks The Hateful Eight is going to be GOOD.
He said: "I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more. I do think directing is a young man's game, and I like the idea of an umbilical cord connection from my first to my last movie."
"I'm not trying to ridicule anyone who thinks differently, but I want to go out while I'm still hard."
He continued: "If, later on, I come across a good movie, I won't not do it just because I said I wouldn't. But 10 and done, leaving them wanting more — that sounds right."

ASU researcher nationally lauded for impacting preschool education
February 20, 2013
In her 34 years researching preschoolers, professor Jeanne Wilcox has favored studying them in real-life settings filled with unpredictable variables – a controlled chaos that she admits might put some researchers on edge.
"My focus has always been on young vulnerable kids," said Wilcox, associate dean of research and Nadine Mathis Basha Professor of Early Childhood at ASU's Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. "How do we promote their growth and development and help them learn the oral language and early literacy skills that are so important for early school success?"

Jerusalem UFO Over Dome of the Rock
Jerusalem UFO Video & Pictures
Back to:
UFO Stories
UFO Hovers Above Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem!
Built upon the Jewish holy site known as the "temple mount" in the city of Jerusalem is
the Dome of the Rock Muslim holy site. On January 29th, 2011, several videos shot
around the same time (1:00 AM in the morning and from different vantage points of the
shrine) show a moving light -- a UFO above the golden dome. The videos surfaced
around the same time, causing much discussion about what it must mean, assuming
that the UFO videos and pictures taken in the holy city are, indeed, real. That could be a
huge assumption.
Opinions as to the authenticity of the Jerusalem UFO videos and photos have become
skeptical, especially when the videos are studied in detail. The question is whether or
not someone went to the trouble of shooting and creating multiple films of the same
UFO sighting from various positions around the city in order to create a hoax.
Here are two different photographs of the Jerusalem UFO:

Allappuzha, Oct 02: Indian Naval Ship (INS) Sahyadri entered Da Nang in Vietnam on a four-day visit starting on Friday. Indian Navy said the Shvalik-class stealth frigate is on an 'Operational Deployment' mission to South China Sea and the North West Pacific region.
The deployment, according to Indian Navy, is a part of India's 'Look East' and 'Act East' policy.
According to officials, during her stay in harbour, a series of activities have been planned to enhance cooperation between the two navies.
"These include official calls and interaction with dignitaries of the Vietnamese government and the Vietnamese Peoples' Navy (VPN), reception onboard INS Sahyadri, onboard visits by local populace, guided tours for Indian naval personnel and professional interaction between personnel of both the navies," says Navy spokesperson Capt D K Sharma.
India and Vietnam shame a healthy relationship and both countries instituted a 'Security Dialogue' in 2003.
Later in 2007, India and Vietnam signed a Joint Declaration on the 'Establishment of a Strategic Partnership' in 2007 and a 'MoU on Defence Cooperation' in 2009.
Power-packed warship of Indian Navy
Currently commanded by Captain Kunal Raj Kumar, INS Sahyadri is a multi-role stealth frigate that boasts of an impressive array of weaponry in her arsenal. It is armed with long range anti-ship missiles, medium and short range surface to air missiles and powerful guns providing a formidable shield against all types of surface and air threats.
The ship's capability to carry two integral multi-role helicopters significantly enhances the potency of this ship.
Commissioned into the Eastern Naval Command in July 2012, INS Sahyadri's current sojourn primarily aimed at cementing bilateral ties and enhancing inter-operability between navies of the two countries.
Admiral Dhowan on official tour to Australia
In a related development of Indian Navy, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R K Dhowan began his official tour to Australia from Friday. The visit, lasting till October 7, is aimed at consolidating the existing maritime cooperation initiatives between two nations.
The Navy Chief's visit has been programmed to coincide with the prestigious annual 'Sea Power Conference' organised by the Australia Navy. Around 40 heads of different navies are expected to participate in this forum.
Indian Navy and Royal Australian Navy are partners in the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS), a maritime cooperation construct conceptualised and pioneered by Indian Navy in 2008. Both countries share similar maritime challenges such as long coastline, extensive EEZ, coastal security, large coastal shipping and fishing fleet.

An approximate formula for the inversion of the Laplace transformF(p) is studied. The formula is exact wheneverF(p) is a linear combination ofp−s+k,k=0, 1, 2, ..., 2N−1, withs an arbitrary positive real number. The formula is derived from a gaussian integration formula for Bromwich's inversion integral.
A numerical example is given as illustration of the use of the approximate inversion formula.

You know, many times in books or movies or TV shows, or even radio shows (yes, those do still exist believe it or not) people always seem to have that one best friend that lives right next door. The person that when they needed someone, they could just walk over to their house and talk to, in person, somebody that they could just hang with, somebody that was better than a sibling. Somebody like a sibling. A family away from home. Where you could just walk in, open the fridge, take out some milk and cookies and say, "hey mom," when your friends mother walks into the room. Or if you come over in the middle of dinner she just says, "Where have you been? You're late!" Not asking you to come back later, but pulling out the chair that is always there for you. Something like that, that's what I want. But do I have that? No. I don't even know the names of my neighbors except for those two little girls I babysit. I don't even know what some of them look like! My closest friends, they live over half an hour away, driving. My closest friend distance wise is an half hour walk away. Maybe, I've never actually walked the distance. But you see, the problem is that even with these friends, they aren't the friends like family. I don't call their parents mom. I'm not completely open with them. We're drifting. I'm becoming more isolated. People have these great relationships with their friends; do I actually have that relationship? By the way, to my friends, if you are still reading this, even though I told you not to in the author note, please stop, and if you continue, don't talk to me about this. I am your diary. This is mine. Thank you; now back to my complaining. I feel as if all my friends have that really close relationship with at least one other person. And that in some circumstances, if I hadn't moved, I would be part of that tight knit group, but I'm an outsider, part of the group via email and phone calls. The person who just hordes information. Scaring people with my want, my need for information. I want to know what's going on, I want to be a part of this group. When they talk about something that occurred in their school and most people wouldn't completely understand because they don't have the backstory. I want to be as close as possible to the group that I would have the back story to the back story. But the issue is that I might have all this information, but I wasn't there. I didn't get feel the emotions, my senses weren't all in use. I have to use my imagination to imagine the scenes. Some people, they're just names, I don't even have a face to go with this person. Other people have changed so much that if I ran into them somewhere I wouldn't recognize them. I might know everything they have done in the past three years, but I wouldn't know them. And that scares me. I know all this information on people. I am like the ultimate enemy. I have emails full of information on people. One day I could just snap. And these people, they would be doomed. Their deepest secrets would go out into the world. But the fact that they have someone that they can tell that to. That's reassuring, that there is someone there that would just listen. That is me. So who will listen to me? If I am the listener, who can I speak to? Where is my diary? Is writing really that good of an outlet, or do I need something more? Why am I even dumping all of this information onto you, random strangers probably hoping for something completely different than what you read. (By the way, if my friends are still reading this, I have warned you twice, now, this is thrice, STOP READING!) Just ugh, I don't know how to express myself, I have probably said much of this twice already. Well anyways. New rant!
Family, so most people have a very close relationship with SOMEONE in their family, whether it be someone in their immediate family or not it makes no difference. Most people live relatively close to their extended grandparents, they are always with their cousins and have a loving relationship and whatnot. But me? My family lives in another freaking continent. A continent NOT physically connected to North America. So do I have that love, that tight knit feeling? No. I feel as if there is something missing. When I talk to my grandparents and cousins via skype there is always this type of connection that they all seem to have. My cousins on my dad's side literally all live in the same yard! All of my uncles stayed on my grandfather's property for petes sake! The only birdie that flew the nest was my father. And at first he stayed in the same neighborhood. But after that? He freaking left the continent. I just, I don't know. There really isn't a point in this at all. I'm just ranting my little heart out with no real grammar or paragraphs which I know must be a real pain in the ass to read on fanfiction but right now I really don't care. But back to family, so then there is my immediate family. As I wrote in the last chapter of this, I just decided that this will be a rant story, a story of my rants. I have this burning hatred of my little sister, I just despise her. But then my father as well, he is basically a tyrant. A dictator at heart. It's just so infuriating. UGH! I don't know how to express myself. I just wish that people could read my thoughts, but only the ones that I want them to read, because if they read all my thoughts I would most definitely be locked up as a threat to the well beings of others seeing how many times a day I ponder murder. And death. And yeah, even suicide. No I am not depressed. I would never actually commit suicide. I just wonder about it. You know. What it's like. How can I write somebody committing suicide, what would it feel like? Why would I do it. Writer questions, you know. The normal kind.
I feel that I should probably end now. It's about a thousand unedited words of rant. No grammar critiquing please. I don't need that right now. I know the grammar sucks. I don't even want to go over it. This story will not actually be looked over. Just all the little red squiggly lines of my misspellings and that is it. No green squiggly lines of grammar. But do review, if you want to. It might be to tell me that I need some serious help. Maybe pity. Just let me know that you read this. Again, if you are a friend of mine, as in a real life I actually know who you are and you live somewhat close to me and you are still reading this, even after I told you to stop multiple times, one, I love you. Two don't let me know that you read this in any way shape or form. I don't want to know. You might be confident enough to use me as your diary. But I am not. I don't even know if I'm going to actually post this. But now that I said that I probably will. Anyways, I apologize for this sort of authors note thing. More like a footnote. Well anyways. I think I'll go now. So anybody who is not a personal friend of mine please review! It would make me happy that somebody actually read this
P.S. If any of the readers are followers of Phantoms From the Shadows I apologize for the delay, that is my fault. I have had a lot to do, a lot on my mind. I have not had time to edit. I don't know if a chapter will be up this weekend. School's a bitch.
P.P.S Any followers of Vrangr. That isn't my fault
P.P.P.S Sorry for my language. I swear when I get passionate/mad/tired.
P.P.P.P.S As you noticed this is not a chapter two of anything. That is because I decided against it. So what it was going to be a chapter two off is "Is This Normal?" One of my one shots very similar to this just a little more edited.

Why is all cinnamon packaging red and not, say, purple or yellow or taupe? People say taupe is soothing.
And these mints are soothing ... in a puma-purring-in-your-lap kinda way. From the moment the package arrives, and you pry the box-top, you'll smell that smell: Cinnamon. Hearty, passionate, hot-sultry-secret cinnamon.
Oh, that's why it's red. Got it.
Sugar-free and sweetened exclusively with xylitol, Epic's Cinnamon mints send your mouth for a spin as part of your daily six grams that dentists worldwide recommend to help stop tooth decay.
What's more (or less) is that all of Epic's mints are slightly softer than your typical mint. That is to say, suck 'em to your heart's content, but if you choose to chew, chip, or bite down real good, they give way with grace and understanding. You won't chip a tooth on Epic's watch. They like teeth too much.Note: Contains no mint extracts. They just call them mints because tablets never really stuck.
Xylitol, natural flavours, magnesium stearate

In an attempt to procure C-grade apples and ensure remunerative prices to apple growers, the state government on Thursday opened 125 collection centres under the market intervention scheme (MIS).
A spokesperson of the horticulture department said 117 collection centres had been opened in Shimla district, seven in Mandi district and one in Chamba district.
The centres would be managed by the Himachal Pradesh Horticultural Produce Market Committee (HPMC) and Himachal Pradesh State Cooperative Marketing and Consumers Federation Limited (HIMFED).
He said 16 metric tonnes of apples had been procured under MIS so far and nearly 272 centres were opened under the MIS across the state last year.
In 2010, the HPMC had procured 65,000 metric tonnes of apples at `5.25 per kg. Last year, the state had harvested nearly 3.20 crore boxes of 20 kg each and had procured 18 metric tonnes of apples at `6.50 per kg. However, the government could not achieve the target of procuring 90,343 tonnes of apples at the rate of Rs 6.50 per kg last year.

The new season opens just as the past 2 seasons have: with the opening of an eye. A blonde woman wakes up from her slumber and gets dressed and ready in her house. She seems to be living in suburbia. A group of people gather at her house for a book club meeting. However this is disrupted by an earthquake. When this subsides, the group runs outside, where several others come out of their homes as well, one including fake Henry Gale. They look up towards the sky and see Oceanic Flight 815 crashing. Fake Henry sends Goodwin and Ethan off to check things out. The camera backs out to reveal that this tiny piece of suburbia is deep in the island.
This is where the Others live.
We come to learn that Jack, Kate and Sawyer are all held in respective different places at the Others home.
Sawyer is placed in a large cage (Skinner-like box) outside in the jungle. There is another cage opposite him, where a young man is also locked up.
The young man asks him questions about the other plane survivors and eventually picks the lock and escapes. However as soon as he does an alarm sounds. He rushes over and unlocks Sawyer's cage. They both run and split up. Sawyer runs into Juliette, the same blonde woman we met at the start, and he's shot with a sedative.
He wakes up back in the cage where the Others drag the young man from the other cage, bloodied up. We learn his name is Carl and they force him to apologize to Sawyer for involving him. They drag him off not returning him to the other cage.
Kate, our heroine wakes up in a locker shower type area. Our Mr. Friendly (Tom) is there when she wakes up and insists that she shower. She obeys.
When returning from her shower, her clothes have been taken away and she's forced to wear a dress that they've left for her. Tom leads her out onto the beach where fake Henry Gale is waiting for her in a little hut with breakfast. She is forced to wear handcuffs and wants to know why they're doing this. Fake Henry's only chilling response is that he's being nice as the next 2 weeks are going to be very unpleasant.
Sawyer eventually figures out a way to get food delivered to him in his cage, by pressing and holding down buttons, exactly like a 'Skinner Box'. Tom is amused by this and he brings Kate and puts her in the opposite cage. There he removes her cuffs and leaves. Both Sawyer and Kate are extremely relieved to see one another.
This is a Jack centric episode, where through flashbacks we learn that Jack was thoroughly obsessed with finding about the man who had swept his wife, Sara away from him. He just won't let go. He explodes to the point he accuses his sober father of sleeping with her, landing himself in jail and driving his father back to the bottle. He never learns about the man.
Jack himself is found to be in a small room with a glass window in what appears to be another hatch. The glass window looks into another room that has a door opened.
Jack screams and hollers and tries to find a way out. He constantly pulls on some chains above him. He won't give up trying.
Juliette, the woman the show opened with, visits Jack and tries to get him to eat. To do this she wants him to stand at the back of his cell while she opens the door and places the food before him.
Eventually Jack caves and says okay. However as we've come to learn Jack is not a person that let's things go easily and he's not going to try to stop escaping. He attacks Juliette as she enters and takes her hostage as they move into the hallway.
Jack leads to a door that is sealed shut and demands that she opens it. She refuses insisting that if she does, they'll die.
All of sudden, fake Henry appears on the other side of the hallway. It is obvious that is the actual exit. Jack threatens to kill Juliette but Henry just says to have her open the door anyway and she'll die. We all will. Jack throws Juliette to the side and moves to open the door. Juliette sprints down the hall but Henry leaves quickly shutting the door on her.
Jack opens the door and a large volume of water gushes in knocking them both off their feet. Juliette is able to knock out Jack and she brings him up out of the water so he does not drown.
Jack awakens in his cell again and finds Juliette in the room across from him again. Jack comments that the hatch is an aquarium. Juliette confirms this and says that the hatch is called the Hydra station where they used to keep dolphins and sharks.
Jack wonders if they're what is left over from the DHARMA Initiative.
Juliette responds that was a long time ago and that who we were does not matter but more importantly who we are.
She then proceeds to inform him that they know exactly who he is. She reads from a file, revealing that they know he's a spinal surgeon, what university he attended, that he was married and contested the divorce and that his father died in Sydney; she has a copy of the autopsy report with her. She relays that "This is you, Jack."
She dismisses him on how they got the information, but just that they did. All Jack can wonder then is what else is in there. Is there information about his family, more particularly his ex-wife? Juliette concedes that there is and asks what would he like to know.
Jack finally is able to let go of his obsession of finding out the other man in Sara's life and only asks if Sara is happy. Juliette confirms that she is. She is very happy. Jack himself is learning not to be so controlling and obsessive.
He moves to the back of the cell and crouches down so that Juliette can bring him some food.
Juliette heads out into the hallway where fake Henry comments,"Good work Juliette."
She responds in kind, "Thank you, Ben." And walks away.
Few questions are answered here in this episode, aside from where the Others actually live and that our fake Henry Gale is actually named Ben. Rather, as the theme of this Season begins to take hold, more questions arise. What do the Others want? And what are they planning to do with Jack, Kate & Sawyer? Who really are the Others? Most importantly, who really are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and the rest of the survivors? And how will they rise to the situation they find themselves in? Only time will tell.

New Visualism: Abstractions in Photography
FotoFest goddess (and curator) Wendy Watriss presents New Visualism: Abstractions in Photography, an exhibit of contemporary black-and-white photography by tepán Grygar (Czech Republic) and Fernando La Rosa (Peru/USA). Grygars photographs read at first as seemingly casual snapshots, but are actually painstakingly crafted. He finds his abstractions out in the world, isolating and cropping sections of reality, often urban scenes, into striking compositions. La Rosa is more focused on the natural world. The artist creates staged shots of plant materials arranged against dark grounds. La Rosas spare and poetic riffs on traditional still-lifes manage to convey a palpable range of emotions. The opening reception for New Visualism: Abstractions in Photography is today from 6 to 9 p.m. Artists talks and book signings are at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 7. Regular viewing hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Through March 14. FotoFest Headquarters, 1113 Vine Street. For information, call 713-223-5522 or visit www.fotofest.org. Free.
Mondays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturdays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Feb. 5. Continues through March 14, 2009

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Door Mirrors to repair your car or truck. Make no mistake, you bought your Pilot because you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. Honda car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Pilot around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
Some safety features on your car or truck go completely unnoticed, though they are used every day. Your Honda Pilot door mirrors provide the means to see along both sides and behind your vehicle without cranking your neck every time you needed to look behind you. If your Honda is old enough, it's possible that the only door mirror was on the driver's side; however most Pilot models have door mirrors on both sides. Honda Pilot models with all the optional equipment might include door mirrors with power adjusting and power folding features, along with heated glass to remove frost.
Bring your Pilot back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. When your Honda needs a top quality replacement Door Mirrors, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Honda Pilot Door Mirrors for your 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 model.

your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
We'd booked a table for 15, but when we got there, some other crowd was sitting at it, and management wouldn't ask them to move till they'd finished their drinks. So 15 of us ended up standing like lemons by the bar, constantly being bumped into by people trying to get past until, about 20 minutes after we'd arrived, we got our table. Meantime, we'd discovered that the mojitos were like slightly minted iced water, and the only beers on tap were Stella, Becks and Budweiser, all of which are, of course, awful, and when I asked if they had any bottles of anything more interesting, I was answered with a disinterested 'not really'. When we finally got our table, we were told that ordering a la carte wasn't available, so we had to have some sort of 'tasting menu' option, which turned out to be buckets of fried proteins, served with a series of horrible gunky dressings, nasty tasting wraps, and manky, claggy, overcooked noodles. Seriously, one plate of fried stuff, we had serious difficult figuring out whether it was chicken, pork or fish. The waitress told us it was fish, but even then we weren't convinced (oh, and, I lived in China for two years, so I know my oriental food; I shudder to think what my colleagues in Beijing would have made of this travesty of an eatery!). It was uniformly awful throughout, and the fact that the music was nuclear loud, to the point that having a conversation with someone right next to you was nearly impossible all meant that it was a nasty, unpleasant couple of hours that none of us will ever be repeating. Seriously, this is one place to massively avoid!

| Yin7 chapter 11 . 4/19/2010
really sad that
you stop it was getting good
| TealEyedBeing chapter 10 . 3/26/2010
How Curious! :D You didn't follow the anime this time! :D This makes me glad that you are differing in some cases because i was, admittedly, starting to get bored with the same old thing of original bleach plot, but if you're going to add more changes like this in the future, i shall stay a devout reader! :D
| Impstar chapter 10 . 3/25/2010
I see that you're veering a little from canon here. That's not a bad thing at all, but you still need to be careful. Too much of a veer now means that you don't have as much of a chance to veer later. If this sounds cryptic, I just mean that you should save the major canonical changes for when you want to make a difference. If you make a major change just for the heck of it, you could end up in an awkward situation later when you really wanted to make another change but can't do it smoothly because your story is already off the beaten path.
Oops, I'm rambling. I tend to do that in reviews. He he. This is just kind of my though process... Oh well, anyway, great story and keep up the good work in updating. By the way, as long as you let the viewers know ahead of time just about how long it will take you (try to get within a week at least), you can take vacations without any guilt. Everyone needs them occasionally.
| ConkedOutSchizo chapter 10 . 3/25/2010
Oh. Watched the movie. Read the books. But the movie seriously skewered the plot over man. Still fun to watch anyway. XD
And cool, the story's deviating away from canon plot! XD
| ConkedOutSchizo chapter 9 . 3/20/2010
You're welcome. :) I'm glad you like that idea. But I seriously thought you already had a sword in mind. 0.0 Anyhow, story's progressing nicely. XD
| LyricalSin chapter 9 . 3/20/2010
Caught back up! I'm in love with Shiro's role...(also in love with Shiro *blush*)
| ConkedOutSchizo chapter 8 . 3/20/2010
I thought at first, if you were going to give Shiro Zangetsu, maybe you could give Ichi something sun-based since Zangetsu is moon-based. But since you've already made one, ah what the heck. XD
Anyway, awesome story! XDXD (oh, by the way, did you know there's a review reply button in the review email so you don't have to reply in chapters?)
| Impstar chapter 8 . 3/19/2010
There's no need to apologize for the "lateness," you update FAR more often then the majority of the fanfictions I read. I thing that I am waiting for is where Ichigo is turned into a hollow/soul reaper/thingy, and what happens to Shiro (it would be cool if he failed to draw out the zanpakutou of something like that and was turned into more of a hollow than Ichigo.
| TealEyedBeing chapter 8 . 3/19/2010
(facefaults into the ground when muse whacks over head with thick story binder) ouch... i *do* need to get back to those... heh heh ;
ANYWHO! Good perspective chapter where we see their friends get their powers. :3 I'm glad to see you're following the manga/anime in that regard :3 "Interesting." x3
Buh bye till next time~! :D (heehe that rhymed~)
| OrgasmicCheesecake chapter 8 . 3/19/2010
Still really enjoying this story. Awesome hate uuryu and love the rest :)
| Little White Comet chapter 8 . 3/19/2010
This is really good _
I really look forward to when you update this story so keep it up ne?

New results on q-positivity

In this paper we discuss symmetrically self-dual spaces, which are simply real vector spaces with a symmetric bilinear form. Certain subsets of the space will be called q-positive, where q is the quadratic form induced by the original bilinear form. The notion of q-positivity generalizes the classical notion of the monotonicity of a subset of a product of a Banach space and its dual. Maximal q-positivity then generalizes maximal monotonicity. We discuss concepts generalizing the representations of monotone sets by convex functions, as well as the number of maximally q -positive extensions of a q-positive set. We also discuss symmetrically self-dual Banach spaces, in which we add a Banach space structure, giving new characterizations of maximal q-positivity. The paper finishes with two new examples.
