He says that they have been waiting for 5,000 years in order to carry out revenge against the Signers and expects for this fierce battle to be most "exceptional". He wears black robes accented with red stripes which corresponds to his Earthbound Immortal, as his Mark of the Shadows represents the Spider. It was also revealed that he was the original Signer with the Head Mark of the Dragon on his left arm, though he replaced it with a metal arm since prior to becoming a Dark Signer.
Roman and Rex, while working for R.R.D.. Roman Goodwin, is the older brother of Rex Goodwin. Just like his brother, Roman served as an assistant to Professor Fudo, while working in R.R.D..
Dr. Fudo was bent on canceling the Enerdy project due to the natural disasters occurring in Domino City as a result of using the system. But wanting to continue the research, Roman researched occurrences similar to what was happening in Domino City. He then came across the Nazca Lines. Once at the site of the Nazca Lines, a mysterious man who belonged to the Yliaster group spoke to him. The man told Roman that he is destined to activate the Enerdy Reactor and tells him to look into the light of the Enerdy Reactor. After returning to the facility and Roman looked into the light of the Enerdy Reactor. He then saw the battle between the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound Immortals. He was then appointed head researcher of the project.
Roman obtains "Stardust Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Black Rose Dragon" and the "Ancient Fairy Dragon" cards, which are the keys to activate the Enerdy Reactor's control units. Dr. Fudo managed to take three of the cards and flee, leaving behind "Ancient Fairy Dragon" when he was wounded by Roman's henchmen.
The Spider Dark mark appears on Roman's arm, where it struggles with the Dragon Head birthmark for control of his body. Nearly succumbed to the power of the Dark Signers, Roman decides to leave his Mark of the Dragon to destiny by tearing his left arm off and placing it in a preservation canister (Which was removed from dub, and still had his hand without being ripped off completely). He then gives Rex the canister telling him to gather the Signers and someday defeat him. After that he activates and overloads the Enerdy Reactor which ultimately lead to the Zero Reverse, killing himself and subsequently allowing the first Earthbound Immortal released, Uru, to revive him as a Dark Signer.
Signers and Dark Signers battle
After the Fortune Cup ended, Roman possessed Grady and Trudge, in order to test the Signers, Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas. Roman as a Dark When the Signers along with Mina, Leo and Trudge venture to Satellite and are meet-up with Martha, Roman appears imposing a Duel. Jack wants to, but is stopped by Yusei as he tells him that it's too dangerous to duel here, especially if a geoglyph appears. Jack is instructed to take Martha and the kids somewhere safe, while Yusei, accompanied by Akiza, faces Roman in a Shadow Duel another location.
However, three of the children decide to watch the Duel. As the Duel unfolds, Yusei and Akiza notice two kids near the flames caused by the geoglyph and wonder how they got in when they are not signers. As Roman prepares to Summon his "Earthbound Immortal", "Uru", Yusei and Akiza fear that once it's Summoned it could use the kids' souls as sacrifices. Luckily, Jack appears and uses his birthmark to stop the kids from being sacrificed. Yusei eventually manages to gain the upper hand in the Duel. As a final insult to Yusei, Roman uses evil magic to flee and force Rally to take his place. Rally manages to destroy Uru, but doing so apparently costs him his life.
Roman, along with the other Dark Signers later appear before their rivals, the Signers to begin their final battle. For the mean while each of his comrades are currently waiting at each of the control units of the Original Enerdy Reactor with the purpose of dueling against their correspondent Signer rival. As for Roman, he awaits within the place where the system itself resides. After Devack's defeat at the hands of Luna and Leo, he kills Greiger in order to make him into a Dark Signer by pushing him over the Original Enerdy Reactor. Roman blows up the bridge Kalin's defeat, Roman's mark seems to be causing him anguish as it escalates up his arm. But he is confronted by Rex Goodwin, who Duels him. Rex loses on purpose in order to be reborn as a Dark Signer like his brother.
Yusei and his friends enter the crater in the B.A.D., where they confront Roman. Although Yusei wins, Roman proceeds to tell Yusei that things have not finished yet, as an the King of the Underworld will soon be born. Before Roman dissolves, he detonates a bomb in his left arm, blowing up the bridge and sending Yusei falling into the depths of the Enerdy Reactor.
Roman is the fourth Dark Signer to be defeated. When Rex is finally defeated and the King of the Underworld is destroyed, Roman and Rex are the only Dark Signers to not return to life.

text: SphereVision video gives a clear view of street cleaning in London 21 Aug 2014 11:49 AM Veolia Environmental Services harnesses SphereVision 360 degree video system to monitor and audit its waste management operationsUK recycling and waste management company Veolia Environmental Services is using a SphereVision 360 degree video system to monitor its waste management operations around central London. Veolia, which provides refuse and recycling collections and street cleansing services to a number of London boroughs and local authorities across the country, was looking for an effective way of monitoring its operations, as well as collecting data that would inform planning for service improvements. "We already used a good GPS system and wanted to add video monitoring that would integrate with that and give us the functionality and flexibility to monitor, map and analyse issues in real time," explained Tim Cattermoul, Veolia's central London business performance manager. "We explained our objectives to SphereVision, and they worked with us and our GPS provider to turn our high level vision into a creative solution that has given us exactly the capabilities we wanted." The system created for Veolia consists of a car fitted with a roof mounted 360-degree video camera linked to a portable recording system operating with SphereVision's advanced data processing software. Developers have created a novel function that allows the operator to trigger the system to take additional pictures and clips of specific issues such as overflowing waste bins or uncollected rubbish. The footage captured provides a view in all directions, and because the system automatically captures GPS, date and other data, analysts can identify trends and pinpoint hot spots and problems such as rubbish being put out after collection times. "We liken the experience to being a tourist on an open top bus – we can see exactly what they would see, and can sort out problems quickly and efficiently," said Cattermoul. Video monitoring is also proving valuable in providing better customer services, enabling the company to be proactive in spotting missed collections, fly tipping and other issues, often identifying and rectifying issues before customers have even reported them. Veolia's monitoring service operates five days a week, and the benefits have more than outweighed the investment in the system. Now one auditor can cover the ground that would have taken four, and because data is captured digitally, the company can analyse and interrogate it in a way that would have been impossible before. Cattermoul said that it was important to Veolia to work with a company that could give them a bespoke service: "SphereVision really know what they are doing and you can really see the passion they have for their software and their system. "They have created an ad-hoc system for us which always intrigues and impresses prospective clients whenever we demonstrate it. The team at SphereVision are always excited about what they are working on, and often approach us with new developments to try to see if they can make our system even better."James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're human

RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingManaged to get a really nice and natural effect using a bit of dot and normal trickery. The good thing is that when you get further away from the rocks and the LOD changes, the material also changes to one without normals and at a distance it you can't distinguish it from it's close-up counterpart - just the effect I was looking for! http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr118/Purpl3Ha2e/SnowyRock.jpg
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThanks. I'm willing to put in as much as it takes to make it look convincing. I hadn't thought of virtualized textures so that's an idea but I'm not sure that it would be worth its quality seeing as most of the mountain will be white. It's a third person game. Also, rocks at far away distances would use the low-resolution parts of the virtualized texture so unless I get it just right, I think it would perhaps suffer from the same granularity issue as using my lo-res surface textures. On a side note, if you draw a rock mesh at a distance and it overlaps another mesh, does that cause an actual degradation in performance for another reason other than it just meaning you're drawing pixels two/three/multiple times?
RobMaddison posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingMy game requires rendering of a relatively large snow-covered mountainous terrain. Most of the terrain, probably 80% of it, is pure snow with some detail texturing but there are areas of it, mostly near-vertical areas that have exposed rock under the snow. My terrain system is fairly standard I think and allows me to render chunks with a lo-res texture combined with detailed textures. At a specified distance, the detail texture fades out leaving the lo-res texture at distance. Unfortunately, whilst the lo-res texture is great for things like giving some features to repeating textures (like grass or rock), it's too low to use for rock exposure at distance (and in fact up close as the highest resolution it gets is generally one pixel per metre). My current idea is to use LODed geometry for the rocks. My material system allows me to add a second texture 'layer' to the material exposed by an alpha channel, so the base texture would be mountain rock with the relevant normal and specular maps, etc and the snow texture would be the second layer. To add some variety, I'd need to create several materials, each with the same textures but different alpha maps. I think I can probably achieve a fairly organic look with a handful of rotated and scaled rock meshes and a few of these double layered materials. Before I embark on this, is it a good way of doing it? I don't use texture splatting for my terrain, I use multi-pass layers drawn using index buffer lookups. Because the layers use the same geometry as the terrain tiles (32x32 @ 1m resolution), this is not fine enough to use the sort of granular splatting you'd need (ie with a hi-res blend map). Thanks
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi, thanks for the response I did try that and whilst it does align the rotation with the screen when the object is in the centre of the screen, you still end up with perspective skewing when you move the camera: http://s475.photobucket.com/user/Purpl3Ha2e/media/Gizmo/Image1.jpg.html http://s475.photobucket.com/user/Purpl3Ha2e/media/Gizmo/Image2.jpg.html The first image shows the object selected whilst in the centre, and the second shows the camera moved to the side. Although the rotation of the gizmo is correct, the perspective of the camera is skewing the gizmo. Should I be rendering the widgets using an ortho projection?
RobMaddison posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI have a 'gizmo' in my level editor which I use to rotate, translate and scale objects. The gizmo is just a mesh which has 3 arrows pointing along each axis, you can hover over and click on the arrows to move, translate etc - standard stuff. The gizmo is drawn at the same position as the object it is targeting but is a set distance away from the camera so however near or far the object is, the gizmo stays the same size. This all works fine. What I'm trying to do now is offer local, world and screen coordinate systems for rotating, translating, etc. local was simple. I basically borrow the world matrix from the targeted object (the thing we're rotating) - removing the scale. For world, even simpler as there's no rotation at all so it's just an identity matrix set to the position of the targeted object (again set at a certain distance away from the camera). Screen space is causing me lots of headaches. My train of thought was that I would use the inverse view projection matrix of the camera which will effectively remove what will be added at the rendering stage leaving the object oriented in alignment with the screen. This does work to a certain extent, the orientation of the gizmo stays in the right position inside the object and in an orientation aligned with the screen no matter where my camera is situated. The problem is, the view projection matrix intrinsically contains scale (for perspective) which causes my gizmo to get smaller the further away from the object I am - even though the position of the gizmo is still that set distance away from the camera. I've tried lots of different methods of removing scale but it always messes up the rendering of the gizmo. Is there a better way or a step I'm missing?
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThanks everyone, after some testing I went with rendering a smaller quad against the large texture, works great. Also, I didn't intentionally double-post, I initially posted it and gamedev reported an error twice. After I checked to see if it had gone through despite the error [both times] and it hadn't, I tried again. I'm a regular on this site with a lot of posts so I can't really understand why anyone would assume I had double-posted intentionally. I also received a warning about it from a mod - not appreciated at all after contributing to the site financially and it being gamedev's fault. *shakes head faster than finger*
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThanks, I did some googling but couldn't find anything obvious - I was wrongly looking for locking
Is it possible to do this in direct X 9? I'm rendering to a very large texture but I only want to update a relatively small region of it. Seems wasteful to render the whole thing?

RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingOne last advice - profile obscure problems on multiple machines, or use safe mode to test application deployment unlocal requirements, or to identify spoils, as veteran development machines are generaly spoiled as it can get. I don't have another machine I can use at the moment, but yes, that would have been a good early indicator of the potential issue
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI finally got one of the profilers working and to my utter astonishment, it didn't leak any memory. But in order to get my application working with the profiler, I had to fix the error it was giving me about the Microsoft Application Verifier. I tried virtually everything to remove/uninstall the Application Verifier, even manually removing references to it from the registry (backing up first of course) and deleting the exe from the Windows\System32 and SysWOW64 folders. That still didn't work. I then, by pure chance, stumbled across a thread on a forum that mentioned there was an area in the registry which lists image file execution options for applications with which to start the Application Verifier, my editor was in there but my game was not. When I removed the entry for my editor from that list, the profiler started working and I'm back to running my app standalone with 8192x8192 terrain in under 800MB as expected. Quite an obscure one!! As usual, thanks a lot to everyone for all your great help and advice
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWell I've had no luck with any memory profilers, there's always something stopping me from getting a good set of results, one app I tried wouldn't run because it said Microsoft Application Verifier needed to be disabled and after spending hours trying to disable what wasn't even running, I gave up. I also tried one called MTuner which showed lots of promise and looked quite polished only to fail with a completely unhelpful error. I tried the Net profiler mentioned above which did allow my app to be profiled, but it showed the significant chunk of memory was in unmanaged as <unifentified> not overly useful but at least it showed there's nothing on the c# side that is using lots of memory. I tried changing my test entity object (the one I used to create 87k instances on the heap) so it didn't use boost shared_ptr in the map and vector and the memory usage was a lot less
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThe huge chunk of memory does not release afterwards, but at that point, nothing that is created should be released. The only data that is new'd is data that should exist in engine until the next level is loaded. There aren't any strings used in this operation. It'll be difficult to remove the vector and the map as they're integral to the entity class and would require a large refactoring job. I added the same vector and map to my test object that I created 87k times and it caused the memory to soar again so I'm guessing it's something to do with these members. When I get back to it this morning, I'll try adding those members but with straight pointers rather than boost shared pointers.
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingInterestingly, I reduced my Construct method down to a very simple loop from 0-87000 doing: for (int i = 0; i < 87000; i++) { new Entity(); } and immediately return. So the method is no longer iterative, this is all it does and it still eats up GB of memory. sizeof(Entity) returns 744 bytes. I created a simple test class with 12 matrices in it which returned a sizeof of 768 bytes. Creating 87000 of these does not drastically increase memory at all, in fact it went up around 66MB which is roughly how big that would be. In my Entity class, I don't really have anything overly special, a std::map, a std::vector, a few pointers, a couple of matrices and several value types. It must be something to do with the std::map and std::vector classes. Both collections have boost::shared_ptr objects in them, I'm now wondering if this has something to do with boost.
RobMaddison replied to RobMaddison's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThe only object I create on the c# side (that is possibly related to the memory issue) is the scene object wrapper which exists throughout the whole session. The scene object is essentially the interface between the c# front end and the scene. Because I'm not passing memory (of any significance) between unmanaged and managed (and vice versa), I'm not sure it would make a big difference. The only thing I do pass back are simple value types or strings and those get free'd correctly. I'll do some profiling and see if I can see what is using up all this memory.

Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, the victims of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and the victims of the other recent shootings deserve our solemn prayers for their loss and our deepest sympathy for their pain.
As a Nation, we should focus our collective grief and attention on finding actual solutions to prevent such tragedies in the future. But gun bans are not the answer. History shows that gun bans only keep guns away from law-abiding citizens, not criminals. Blaming a gun for violence is like blaming a pen for a misspelled word.
Mr. Speaker, this week President Obama hosted his latest in an unfortunate series of anti-gun pep rallies. This Nation does not need more political posturing. Instead, we need a serious discussion about how we address mental health as a Nation, and we need to take action to better protect our children in their schools.
I stand ready to protect the Second Amendment rights of our citizens and work with anyone who will support policies that could actually stop future violence.

Look for less: Glitter Slip On Sneakers6:00 AM
It's no secret I love anything shiny and covered in glitter. I was flipping through the J Crew catalog when I spotted these sneakers in the kid's section. I'm a size 5 and can fit into kid's shoes but am not one to actually buy kid's shoes as they are not usually my style. Except for these... I was intrigued and wanted to get a pair!
And then I spotted these Kate Spade sparkles at Nordstrom.
But then.... I went to Target and just happened to walk by the shoe section to spot these fab glitter slip ons for $20! They are actually kid's shoes so I tried on a few to check my size and the size 3's fit perfect for me.
They also have them in leopard that I seriously contemplated getting (and I may actually go back to get them!).

A detailed study of the uniform and equipment used by British AFV crews in WW2. The evolution of uniforms, and the variations in actual use on all fronts, are described and illustrated, as is the personal equipment of AFV crews. The advantages and drawbacks of all the designs are discussed, in the context of actual front-line operational experience.
Illustrated with many photos and drawings, covering all uniform variations and equipment.
Thousands of books have been published over the years covering the various armored fighting vehicles utilized by British and Commonwealth forces in the Second World War, and many of them are sitting on my bookshelves, and I am sure yours. There are also numerous books on the various battles that took place involving these vehicles and the generals, officers, and enlisted men who took part. But it is rare that you get a book as detailed as this one on the individual crewmen who accompanied these machines into battle...Anyone reading this review today and who is familiar with Mr. Smith's previous works can rest assured that his latest effort covering British crewmen in WW2 is just as well written, just as lavishly illustrated, and represents excellent value for money. I can't recommend this book highly enough

tourism Travel and Leisure
A thing that has become very popular in the tourism and travel industry is single traveling alone as well as travel companions for singles. A great thing to note is the fact that package holidays for singles are made complete. These can be either escorted or cruise holidays and a good thing about escorted single holidays is that you will go on the trip with companions that you can get along with.
Travelling in a group is not only adventurous but also provides a great environment even though each single person can make an individual decision regarding the many options available. It is not possible for you to get lost since there is a tour guide provided. This is important since the more you can learn about something, the more appealing it becomes. The presence of other travel mates makes the experience great fun and you will always have someone to talk to. Creating friends will be easy and this may lead to a friendship that will last for a long time or even lead to a "more than a friend
Do you ever wonder about how you can shape your future in Tourism and travel industry when you contemplate your career in tourism management? The hospitality management courses include some new astonishing trends in Tourism and travels:
Bid Adieu to Business Class:
According to a recent survey done it was found that over the coming year, 58% of journeyers are expected to travel less for the purpose of business. The orientation of the future strategies of tourism management inclined towards the under-25 market for which the significance is increasing rapidly.
The New Concept of New-Style Lobbies:
Traditionally, there has been a transitional zone in hotel lobby, as these travelers used to check-in there is a place for them to park their baggage. But this concept has changed to a huge extent, now lobbies are considered as a potential place for gathering by the tourism management staff, where the guests would never want to leave such lobbies and if desired they can even get to know each other. Curate bookshelves, espresso machines, and coffeehouse tables are the main features and elements of these new style lobbies.
Practicing Online Booking:
The times when you use to call from your landline for making a booking in hotel appear to be over. Today the stays are booked online by most of the guest. The overview of the latest Internet Booking Technology must be included in the Hospitality management.
Boutique Hotel evolution:
As the travelers opt for the smaller ones, thus the era of the big-name hotels may be over, instead of this boutique options can be personalized more.
Bio-metric Check-in:
Unlike the airports and various other places soon the hotel lobbies will have the feature of Self check-in kiosks. This feature is appealing especially for those travelers who would like to check in instantaneously and quickly. These features also help in saving the expenditures on Human resources.
Personal Care Products:
Pumps are being installed in several hotels for the personal care products in the shower. The double advantage of saving the money can be taken by these devices as we can reduce the cost of packaging that is done on the complimentary mini bottles of shampoo, lotion and conditioners.
Showers rather than bath:
Just to satisfy the special needs of customers or who are travelling with small children for them keeping a small percentage of baths on one hand, the hotels nowadays are building more bathrooms with showers.

Total heat transf. rate vs Total surface heat flux
I'm trying to simulate heat transfer through a wall to compare with known correlations. When I compute the heat flux with the surface integrals (Report-surface integrals - total surface heat flux), it gives a value that is in accordance with the outside and inside wall temperatures, being that flux equal to the conduction heat flux.
However, using the Report-Fluxes - Total heat transfer rate - it gives a value higher than that. Does anyone know why? I'm not using any radiation model.
Thank you.

Miserable weather to subside with high temperatures predicted for the long weekend
The Easter long weekend is set to be bathed in sunshine, with Met Eireann predicting temperatures as high as 15C until early next week.
The weather since late March has been a mixture of relentless drizzle and rain propelled by gusty winds and garnished with a side of fidget temperatures.
But this grim pattern is set to change as conditions are expected to "steadily improve" over the weekend.
Temperatures as high as 13C are predicted by Saturday afternoon, with that number steadily climbing well into early next week.
Saturday will be mostly dry with some sunny spells but some drizzle may affect northern coasts. Light northerly winds will become variable later and top temperatures will rise to between 12 and 14 or 15 degrees. Saturday night will continue dry with light winds and lowest temperatures staying between 2 to 5 degrees with some frost.
Easter Sunday and Monday will stay dry with light variable winds as the high pressure remains right over Ireland and there might be just some patchy drizzle in the west and north. Top temperatures will rise to between 12 and 15 or 16 degrees. However, nights will turn a little cooler with lowest temperatures falling to between zero and 5 degrees with some frost.
And Tuesday and Wednesday will continue under the influence of the high pressure system with mostly dry and mild weather.
But, typically, we have to get through today's chilly damp conditions before we can crack out the Hawaiian shirts and barbecues, as the Met office predicts:
Rain over the eastern half of the country early this morning. It will gradually clear with sunny spells and scattered showers following from the west through the morning. It will become dry this afternoon as any showers die out. Cool and breezy with fresh northwest winds and highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees.
Tonight will start off dry with clear spells. However, cloud will increase from the northwest overnight and there'll be a little misty drizzle in places, mainly along northwest coasts. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees.
There was a big variation in weather conditions around the country throughout March, according to Met Éireann's monthly report.
Most stations recorded below-average temperatures, meaning that it was much colder than the same period last year.

Would you drive a car because it had an Apple logo on it? Then perhaps you're the kind of person who'd be interested in a laptop with with the famous fighting bull of Automobili Lamborghini on the lid. In which case, ASUS has just the notebook for you.
The rest of us will be a little more careful with our purchase, thanks, and look at what makes it stand out (or not) as a PC rather than a brand.
Physically, it's very, very similar to ASUS' 15in high end gaming laptop, the G53. A hard wedge of plastic, it feels surprisingly cheaper than that machine, despite costing quite a bit more. Where the G53's rubber-like coating feels like it would bounce along a tarmaced surface, the VX7's ultra glossy finish doesn't even like fingerprints, let alone being slammed into a corner.
There are plenty of design tie-in with the car, though. The lid looks like a bonnet, and around the back, the large vents which keep air flowing to the fast Core i7 processor are topped with mock brake-lights. It's deeply disappointing that these don't actually light up. The wrist rest has a leatherette finish too, just like a Lambo's dash. The power button, meanwhile, is marked 'Start Engine' rather than 'On'.
Not a V8
The problem, though, is that the supercar association isn't even skin deep. That fancy wrist rest doesn't fit flush to the keyboard, which itself is a flimsy and too flexible affair. The screen isn't anywhere near the kind of quality that Signor Lamborghini would approve of either. As far as supercars go, this is more DeLorean than anything that has ever come out of Sant'Agata Bolognese.
Under the hood things aren't much better. The CPU is a top end part, yes, but the GeForce GTX 460M graphics card is more like a track-tuned Ford Focus than playboy plaything. It is a gas guzzler, though. There's no way to fall back on the CPU graphics for extending battery life, so you'll be lucky to get three hours on a full tank with it. Not that you'll want to travel far - for a 15-incher it's very heavy.
There are worse branded computers out there. Calvin Klein recently lent his signature to a decidedly average Froyo tablet. But the only thing that the VX7 really has in common with a supercar is the price tag.
Why on Earth would you buy this when ASUS' own G53 is better and £500 less?

Prostate massage is the massage or stimulation of the male prostate gland for sexual stimulation or medical purposes.
The prostate takes part in the sexual response cycle, and is essential for ejaculation. Normally, in mammals found to be most active during the time of ejaculation, this organ also faces many threats from disease. Due to its close proximity to the anterior rectal wall, it can be stimulated manually via the anus. Manual massage may lead to an urge to urinate, excretion of prostatic fluids without orgasm, and pain.
Digital rectal examination (DRE) Edit
Prostate massage is part of the digital rectal examination (DRE) routinely given to men by urologists in order to look for nodules of prostate cancer and to obtain an expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) specimen for microscopy and microbiological culture to screen for prostatitis.
Prostatitis Edit
In the late 1990s, some doctors tried prostate massage in conjunction with antibiotics for the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis with uncertain results.[1][2] In recent trials, however, prostate massage was not shown to improve outcomes compared to antibiotics alone.[3] As a consequence of these findings, prostate massage is not used in the treatment of any medical disorder today, and prostate massage should never be performed on patients with acute prostatitis, because the infection can spread elsewhere in the body if massage is performed.[4]
Risks Edit
In addition, prostate massage can be risky. Some of the documented consequences are life-threatening periprostatic hemorrhage,[5] cellulitis, Fournier's gangrene,[6] septicaemia, possible disturbance and metastasis of prostate cancer to other parts of the body, and hemorrhoidal flare-up.[7]
Prostate massage as alternative therapy Edit
Prostate massage was once the most popular therapeutic maneuver used to treat prostatitis, but abandoned as primary therapy in the early 1970s.[8] Continuing research in emerging medical communities,[9][10] published articles in non-medical circles,[11][12] and anecdotal evidence on the internet shows that there is still interest in the technique as alternative therapy. In China, a 2008 survey of 627 urologists found that prostate massage is used prevalently as a nonpharmacological therapy for chronic prostatitis.[13]
Prostate massage as sexual practice Edit
Prostate massage is also used for sexual stimulation, often in order to reach orgasm.
The prostate is sometimes referred to as the "male G-spot". Some men are able to achieve orgasm solely through stimulation of the prostate gland, such as prostate massage or receptive anal intercourse. Men who report the sensation of prostate stimulation often give descriptions similar to females' accounts of G-spot stimulation.[14]
Prostate massage has become a common sexual practice in couples' sexual lives as men seem to experience high levels of pleasure from it. Also, the advent of equipment and products for prostate massage encourages people to try it. Many couples though do not purchase such devices but use the finger for anal penetration and prostate stimulation to enhance the man's orgasm. The finger or the prostate massager is introduced into the rectum through the anus and the prostate gland is gently massaged. The main problem in using the finger is that it may be too short to reach the prostate gland.[15]
Prostate massage can be performed individually or with the help of a partner. Some men prefer being anally stimulated by their partner during foreplay or after intercourse. Men can excite their own prostates while masturbating using anal penetration devices.
There are a few safety matters concerning prostate stimulation and anal penetration. It is strongly recommended that plenty of lubricant is used with prostate massagers to prevent rectal lining damage. A smaller instrument or finger may be introduced gradually to minimize the discomfort that some may feel. Massagers may be used with or without a condom.
A prostate massager refers to devices for massaging the prostate gland, mainly for sexual purposes.
The shape of a prostate massager is similar to a finger, since prostate massages are traditionally given digitally. They usually have a slightly curved head to effectively massage the prostate. Lubricant is usually inserted into the anus. A prostate massager should be used with care because of the sensitivity of the prostate. Correct use involves a medium to light repetitive massage, or circular motion—the tool should not be thrusted.
Prostate massage equipment ranges from dildos to butt plugs and G-spot vibrators. When used in sexual practice, prostate massagers are commonly referred to as "prostate toys", "prostate sex toys", and "anal toys". These prostate massagers are inserted into the rectum through the anus and are intended to stimulate the prostate by simple massaging or vibrating. They are used during foreplay by many couples.
Prostate stimulation is thought to produce stronger and more powerful orgasms similar to orgasms in women produced by G-spot stimulation.
Prostate dildos are similar to the vaginal dildos, but they tend to be more curved, slimmer and with a softer texture. Some of the new prostate dildos on the market are driven by batteries and offer vibration at the tip, which may be changed depending on the personal preference. Unlike the vaginal dildos, the anal prostate massager has a flared end to prevent from being lost in the rectum.
Most men prefer the butt plugs which are easy to use, can be inserted freely and left in place while the man's hands are free for other sexual activities such as masturbation.[16] Anal plugs come also in various shapes, sizes and designs and although they are not commonly intended to stimulate the prostate, newer models of more angled butt plugs are now developed to provide a more vigorous massage to the prostate.[17] The new butt plugs have a more curved shape and they are slightly longer than the regular anal plugs. They commonly have a narrow neck and a flared end to prevent losing it in the rectum. Some of the newer models come with batteries and vibrations that increase sexual pleasure.
The G-spot vibrator can be used as a prostate massager as long as it is handled carefully and are provided with a safety base that will not allow to be lost in the rectum. Vibrators for prostate stimulation usually have a pronounced curve at the end.[18]

Turn on the radio in the last decade and you're bound to find song after song of bland, uninspired garbage. Solo artists and bands are engineered and marketed to the masses by record companies that pander to the people whose tastes never seem to evolve and who only crave more of what they've already heard. As an avid music lover myself, on rare occasions when I decide to give free radio another chance I flip through the stations to find that the rock stations are still playing Nirvana, the classic rock stations are still peddling Journey, the rap stations are still giving heavy rotation to Biggie Smalls, the country stations are still blaring Tim McGraw, and the pop stations are playing songs so un-listenable that I can barely get through an entire 4 minutes of it to give you an opinion.
Fortunately for our musical sanity, we live in the 21st century and we have more options available to us to find transcendent tunes that suite our tastes than ever before. While so many bands are trying to mimic the great musical acts of the past, in contrast the underground of the music scene is brimming with inspired new ideas and meshing genres that were never thought to be able to meld successfully. The revelation of studio technology is not solely used for making mediocre artists sound better; in the right hands it is perfectly capable of creating soundscapes that were unheard of in decades of musical Renaissance such as the 60s and 70s. With the discovery of the internet, artists can get levels of exposure and reach millions of listeners that even 20 years ago was nearly impossible without a record contract from a major label. Now all it takes is a web site, a great sound, and the right person with the right connections to stumble across it to get a break. No longer do artists have to make 17 cents for every record sale while the corporation that funds their marketing campaign pockets millions. Sure, a successful career in music takes more than some recording equipment and a few catchy tunes, but at least in the music industry of today's world it doesn't take a shady suit that is only out to suck every fiber of creativity out of an artist to make a profit margin.
Although it proves difficult to find at times, great music is being made everywhere. It's being shared between friends on Facebook, it's making the front page of iTunes, and it's even gaining a new fan that just might pay for concert tickets to the band's next show in town because of an illegal download. (The artist a majority of their money from concert sales anyway.) New genres are being created, only to be shattered by the next wunderkind to step up to the plate and take things a bit further than before. And contrary to popular belief, some of the best music ever created is being made right now in someone's garage down the street.
Don't believe me? Let me give you a few examples:
Porcupine Tree's In Absentia, released in 2002, combines the free-spirited, forward-thinking styles of progressive artists like Pink Floyd with a harder edge most resembling the works of Tool without trying to borrow too much from either or apologizing for being anything other than what it wants to be. It is a shining example that original, invigorating music is alive and well in today's music.
Blackest Eyes, Prodigal, Lips of Ashes
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails cites that Rush's Signals album was one of his greatest influences, stating it showed him how keyboards and synthesizers could be incorporated into rock to create great music. When combining rock and metal influences with the sounds pioneered in the New Wave movement of the 80s, Industrial Rock was created. Year Zero, released in 2007, is a concept album about alien invasion from the mind of Reznor that dabbled in synth and manufactured sounds, but with an edge that only Nine Inch Nails can pull off perfectly.
Capital G, The Good Soldier, The Great Destroyer
The road of evolution in music to melo-death was a long one, but it remains one of the most forward-thinking and original forms of music in modern recording. Amon Amarth prove that there is still plenty of life left in this genre by creating what we have come to understand as Viking Metal. Their release Twilight of the Thunder God from 2008 is an album that will get your head banging and your ears bleeding if you listen to it long enough. It is part of the culmination of hard rock/metal started way back in the days of Black Sabbath and Hendrix with traditions that continued and evolved for decades into the extreme forms of metal, distorted guitars, and growling vocals many of us have come to love or despise depending on our musical taste. One thing is for certain though, without the evolution that music has undertaken over the decades bands like this would not exist today.
Twilight of the Thunder God, Guardians of Asgaard
These are but a few of a great many examples of bands that are pushing music further than we ever thought possible in jazz, rock, rap, and even R&B. Although there will always be music out there for people that aren't concerned with what they listen to or experienced enough to distinguish the differences, music is constantly evolving into something greater than what it has ever been. And while we shouldn't forget the classics of yesteryear, the great music of today and tomorrow will be regarded and revered in the same way by our descendants. Let's wipe away the veil of nostalgia from our ears and recognize how wonderful a time it is to be a music listener.

Zimbabwe Mugabe Christ
February 22, 2012 by staff
Zimbabwe Mugabe Christ, Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe turned 88 on Tuesday, joking about reports circulating for years of his imminent demise and vowing to stay in power despite international condemnation of his economic and human rights record.
Mugabe said he was in tip-top shape in an interview with state radio, and made no reference to media reports that he is receiving treatment for prostate cancer in Singapore.
"I have died many times. That's where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once," the devout Catholic Mugabe told the radio broadcaster. "I am as fit as a fiddle."
Mugabe charmed world leaders with his wit and intellect in the early years of his rule, when a relatively rich Zimbabwe was praised for its education and social systems.
But he has since become a pariah in the West, blamed for running the economy into the ground and for massive human rights abuses to keep his grip on power.
Mugabe, one of Africa's longest-serving leaders, said his party ZANU-PF would choose his successor at the right time, but he had no intention of stepping down for now.

Earlier this week, the Republican National Committee released a statement via chairman Reince Priebus:
"Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King."
Wait. Is the RNC referring to Donald Trump as the "new king?" Some believe they were. In fact, the statement kicked-off a huge debate on social media.
According to CNN, incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer claims the reference had nothing to do with Trump. Spicer told CNN that, "Christ is the King in the Christian faith."
Christ is the King. He was born today so we could be saved. Its sad & disappointing you are politicizing such a holy day. https://t.co/NEOkLNd1Mz
— Sean Spicer (@seanspicer) December 25, 2016
Oddly enough, the RNC's Christmas message from Priebus made no mention of a "King." It seems as thought the RNC and Donald Trump trying to destroy American democracy, and turn our country into a monarchy. Clearly, we cannot stand by and allow this to happen. #NeverTrump #NotMyPresident

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/12/2012 (1669 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Some residents of the City of Winnipeg are able to vacation somewhere warm when the snow flies, but not all of us are able to get away from the winter weather.
That's why many of us are thankful for a warm indoor pool a short distance from Waverley West at 685 Dalhousie Drive.
According to Trish Carter, pool supervisor at Margaret Grant Pool, "the average water temperature is 86 degrees", which can be very inviting when it is cold outside.
Although Margaret Grant is a little smaller than some of the other pools in the City of Winnipeg, it continues to offer many options for local residents.
Carter highlights the special events and weekly programs:
"Free swim is Friday, 8:10 -9:25 a.m.; youth swim is Friday, 7:30-9 p.m.; Loonie/Toonie Swims are Monday, 7:30-8:30 p.m., Tuesday 3-4 p.m., and Wednesday, 7:30-8:30 p.m.; Go swimming with Your Family is Sundays from 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
"Another very popular program at Margaret Grant Pool are the Aquacise fitness drop-in classes.
These run Monday, Wednesday and Friday — Shallow Aquafit from 9:30-10:30 a.m., Shallow Aqualite from 10:30-11:30 a.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Aqualite (Seniors) runs from 12:30-1:15 p.m. The Full Schedule can be viewed on line at www.winnipeg.ca."
The City of Winnipeg's Winter Leisure Guide was published on Nov. 29, 2012, and registration for aquatics and recreation programs was held in early December. Most classes begin in early January, but if you missed the initial registration dates there may still be availability, or classes may have a waiting list to which you could be added.
If some classes in which you're interested are unavailable this time around, choices such as the free swim or the youth swim might be ideal for you until the next registration period.
Please see www.winnipeg.ca/leisureonline for more registration information or call 311.

Hey all,
We currently have a two tiered public key infrastrcture that was set up two sys admins ago. It is all sorts of wack. The offline root CA is assigning certificates to some of our laptops. From what I understand, the root CA is only set to assign the suboordinate CAs their certificates and then goes offline. The suboordinate CAs role is to assign the certificates.
My question is..
Can I build another public key infrastructure while the other one is still up and slowely migrate the certificates over to the new one?
I would like to build another offline root CA and assign suboordinate CA roles to other servers.
Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hello chinkyITgirl
As far as I know you can build the new PKI but not have it active until you want to migrate to it but I don't beleive you can have both up at the same time, unless it is on a different server, you will need to migrate all at once. Also you can have a backup PKI for fail over.
Jan 26, 2011 at 11:25 UTC
Just make sure that no future certificates are issued from the original PKI if you do use new hardware once its up.
and this should allow you to not do a complete move until all the certs are revoked or expired

Now in the fourth and final year of our focus on education, we continue to partner with several organizations within Greensboro to implement various programming that has a specific emphasis on early childhood and elementary education.

The Steyr AUG is an Austrian select fire assault rifle. It uses the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and the standard variant comes most the time with non-electronic scope. Many variants of this rifle have been made including a light machine gun variant, a submachine gun variant firing 9x19mm Parabellum, a semi-automatic civilian variant and more. It is a bullpup rifle, meaning that the magazine and firing mechanism is behind the trigger, so the barrel can be longer than on conventional assault rifles without increasing the overall length of the rifle. It also means that its stock is heavier than on standard assault rifles, which can affect aiming and balance characteristics. Bullpup rifles also tend to have "squishier" triggers, with a longer takeup and less clean break. However, due to the location of the ejection port on bullpup rifles, firing a right-handed model of a bullpup rifle with your left hand and vice versa will likely result in hot spent cases flying in your face. Some bullpup rifles have solved this problem by ejecting downward or forward. The Steyr AUG has an effective range of about 300 meters.
The Steyr AUG is the standard military weapon of its home country, Austria. It has also been adopted by armed forces of Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Republic ofIreland, Luxembourg, Saudi-Arabia, Tunisia and Pakistan. Also is version of it manufactured in Australia, and used by their and New Zealand's armed forces. The cartridge it uses, the 5.56x45mm NATO is one of the most used in the world.
- AUG rifles can have their bolt and ejection ports configured for either right or left-handed shooters; it should be noted, though, that although swapping which side the rifle ejects spent cartridges from is possible, it is not possible to change this in a heated situation, meaning that a user will be unable to fire the weapon properly from their non-dominant side. This also means that the user will be unable to fire the weapon from their strong side around a corner bearing on their strong side without exposing most of their body; this is a negative characteristic shared among almost all bullpup rifles that do not feature downward case ejection.
Advantages and Disadvantages Edit
- The Steyr AUG is the standard gun for many armies around the world, such as the Australian, Austrian and many others.
- The ammo for it is fairly common.
- Selective fire (semi auto and fully auto)
- Accurate
- Bullpup configuration (some people are not used to it)
- Complicated reload

Don't get me wrong, I love playing roto fantasy baseball. But as I look despairingly at my overflowing DL slots in my leagues, wondering whether I have the stamina to keep grinding away at this six-month marathon, this war of attrition, I'm reminded all over again why I also love DFS. DFS is the oasis you stumble into from the Roto Desert, just often enough for a little refreshment and to refill your water bottles, when your roto camels are so loaded up with DTD and DL'd players that their knees are buckling and your first-round picks are obviously so parched they haven't had the strength to get more than 3 hits in the last week (I'm looking at you, Miggy). At the gates of DFS, Jose Altuve hands you a glass of champagne and says, "Welcome to Fantasy Island." You walk in and the place is swarming with star players, just lying about under the palm trees, waiting for you so they can help make you rich. You can have any player you want (for a price, of course). Chris Sale? Sure! Bryce Harper? Why not! Mike Trout? Go for it, if you've got still got room in your salary cap! I feel like a kid in a candy store, getting to build the most fantasiest fantasy FanDuel lineup I possibly can. Sometimes that build is easy and sometimes it's a challenge and sure, it doesn't always work out, but you know what? You just shrug it all off and try again next time.
Here endeth my little ode to DFS; now let's go ahead and sample today's buffet at the FanDuel oasis.
New to FanDuel? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond? Well, be sure to read our content and subscribe to the DFSBot for your daily baseball plays. Just remember to sign up through us before jumping into the fray. It's how we know you care!Please, blog, may I have some more?

Happy Happy Thursday. Have I mentioned that Thursday has to be my favorite day of the week. I must say Thursdays rock around here. We call it Library Thursday as that is what we do as well as other little fun things. Today in the mail was a 50 mm 1.8 lens which of the little test shots I took well I am gonna have some FUN.
Speaking of which I'd love to share w/you a little place I've made in another blog where I'll be posting stuff about photography since well I really am enjoying it and would love to share what I find and challenges I'll be doing.
What I hope is that by me doing challenges and learning I'll be able to share w/you & maybe it will help you. I am a Super newbie at this DSLR but am eager to see how my progress contuines as I learn more. So if you would like to see what I am doing just stop over HERE & leave a little comment if you please :)
Now that I've "plugged" my other little thing How about a layout! I created this for one of Shimelle's challenges she had over the weekend. In this challenge we had to use a picture that wasn't taken this year. To me that is the most easiest challenge since I have been too gulitiy of taking a picture and that's about it.
This picture I used is of my Ram when he turned 6! He's about to turn 13 in less then a mth! yeah.. took me a while huh?
For this layout I also used stuff that I had for a while as well as a few new goodies. My favorite thing on this layout as to be the Ali Edwards stamp. It is from This One. I LOVE it. Its all quotes/saying in her handwriting. What more could you ask for.
For the letters I used Jenni Bowlin ink in : Spice Tin and then added a bit of Frost White Colorbox ink.
For the little journaling I used Washi tape and wrote about the picture. Simple and to the point but one sweet memory. I am so proud of my Ram and upcoming school year is going to be super exciting not only will he be turning 13 doing his Conformation BUT at the end of the year he will be graduating. Be still my heart.. Time sure flies when your having fun. Love you my Ram.
As always thanks for stopping by!

King Kong is a giant ape that has personally ruined the lives of Bruce Cabot, Jeff Bridges, Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts, Jessica Lange, Fay Wray, Stephen Colbert, Charlton Heston and Nelson Mandela.
He is smelly and likes to fight Godzilla in his spare time, he has never become quite the scourge to Americans that Godzilla has become for the Japanese.
King Kong is also proof that man did not evolve from apes, because if we did, then we'd obviously be much bigger.
King Kongs Obsession with Stephen Colbert's Wife Edit
In December 1976, Stephen Colbert had to fight King Kong to rescue his lovely wife Evelyn McGee-Colbert. This epic battle was immortalized on the silver screen with Stephen playing himself as the pilot of the plane which shot King Kong off the World Trade Center. Stephen's story was later adapted to the video game Donkey Kong by Nintendo. Players can take the role of Colbert as a lovable small business entrepreneur "Mario" bent on rescuing his love from a maniacal bear like ape.
Some of the lunatic liberal fringe are skeptical that Donkey Kong is a representation of King Kong because he wears a tie. But it is a fact you can look up yourself[1].
Truthiness Edit
- King Kong is Stephen Colbert's second cousin, and used to beat up Jon Stewart and Steve Carell for fun.
- King Kong is real and didn't really die from falling off the Empire State Building, he currently lives in the back country of Alberta, Canada.
- King Kong is most notorious for causing the Russo-Japanese War, in which Dan Quayle and the Montreal Canadians took up arms against the Pokemon menace started by the Shogunate in Japan, the war ended up in Russia where Vladimir Putin took on some bitches. King Kong ate everyone to end the war he started. This has led to rumors of his ties to the Communist party.
- King Kong has frequently been a guest pundit on "Hannity and Colmes" representing the moonbat liberal fringe.

Château d'Or et de Gueules' takes its name from the gold and red stripes of eco-friendly winemaker Diane de Puymorin's family coat of arms. "Les Cimels" means "bouquet of flowers" in the local dialect, Occitan. And that's just the name. We could write a thesis on the time, love and care that have gone into making this unoaked Syrah, Grenache and Carignan blend, but there isn't room here. Neither is there enough space to describe all the aromas and flavours you'll find when you open it, we'll try but don't get mad if we get cut off: blackcurrant, plum, blueberry, thyme, oregano, lavender, black pepper…

Hey guys,
Some of you may be wondering where I got my username idea from(I bet some of you didn't but I don't care, the post is here anyways, whether you like it or not). So, I'm gonna tell you where I got it from.
I made tmy name in December of 2012. I was and still am a fan of MrCreepyPasta. I wanted to do CP narrations of my own, so I decided to make an account on youtube. I wasn't able to think of anything until my current name appeared in my mind. My eyes widened, I grinned, typed it into the username slot and thankfully, it wasn't taken. I made the password and stuff and there was, me. I made my account here about two months later. So,there's my story, hope you all like the pointless story of how I came to be.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day.

What Is "Slutwave" And What Does It Have To Do With Katy Perry's Boobs?
When I was a young teen, Britney Spears trotted onto the scene in her braids, schoolgirl skirt and red lipstick, posing for Rolling Stone while sucking lollipops and hugging stuffed animals. At the time, her look was described as "kinderwhore." Over a decade later, Britney's most barely-legal moments look tame in comparison to the pop tarts who've followed her. Lady Gaga's pantless get-ups. Katy Perry's latex dress and bra that shoots whipped cream. Miley Cyrus pole-dancing on an ice cream cart. Ke$ha's entire existence. A hipster blog called Hipster Runoff has coined a new name for it and none other than Rolling Stone has anointed it a genre (albeit a "fake genre") in the pages of their magazine. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now riding the "slutwave." "Slutwave" came to my attention through an exceedingly stupid Rocks Off blog post on the Houston Press web site, which described the genre as "women performers who favor sex appeal — suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics – to promote their career over their actual music."
But why is the "slutwave" genre only women? What about Usher, Justin Timberlake, or Enrique Inglesias? They sell sex just as much as the female artists do — come on, "SexyBack" and "F**king You"? Tell me those songs are not all about sex. Obviously, the male performers don't wear as many of the skimpy outfits that the women wear, but then again, female bodies are always under more scrutiny than male bodies.
But mostly, Rocks Off failed to convince me that "slutwave" is new. Female artists have long used crazy costumes/makeup/hair/shoes to exploit the attention they were getting for their music. As the blog noted, Madonna, Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar all wore provocative outfits that were sexually daring for their time. (And for male artists, look to David Bowie or Elton John.)
Instead, I wonder if a term like "slutwave" is just a way to denigrate what female pop stars are doing these days. I don't suspect Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha or even Britney Spears would think being called a "slut" was an insult. But the use of the word "slut" is a purposeful one — it's saying this music, these performers, are not only cheap but bad.
What irritates me most about the few articles I've found online about "slutwave" — however tongue-in-cheek the Hipster Runoff blog originally intended it to be — are how none of them seriously question why female artists are leading with sexuality at younger and younger ages. (Rocks Off limply mused, "Some young women performers out there must feel the pressure to dress and act this way to be desired and thus successful." You think?!) This behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum. Pop culture is allowing "slutwave" singers to flourish for a reason.
What do you think of the term "slutwave"? Do you think it will take off?
