Done with Godannar.
What can I say?
A super-cheesy yet managed to be spectacular, sci-fi anime. That's what I bargained for after going from beginning to end of this series, and boy it did not let me down at anytime.
The first time I came in contact with Godannar was when I looked at a picture of Go, Anna, and Loe together with the giant robot behind. By just gazing at the pic, I instantly became enthralled and started searching for dl of the episodes.
(This was way back in February, eight months before ADV license it)
I felt at that time that the anime had potential, and I was not mistaken. However, I took a great risk by allowing myself getting carried for just a picture.
The same happened to me three years ago when I looked at some promo pics of Corrector Yui on the net, and the show made it into my local cable-TV stations. Unfortunately, the show dissappointingly let me down.
It could be said this was the same circumstance when I found about of Godannar, except that Godannar did managed to fill and instantly exceed my expectations.
I'm very thankful for the people who let us know about this title during its unlicensed run, and I must say should give thanks to ADV for the license but hopes from them to make a good dub quality for this show; deserves it.
What I understood from the last two episodes was that the 25th episode was the final one while the 26th one was the epilogue episode.
Episode 26 was an entire epilogue full of surprising revelations on the medical and gene engineering area, as also showing off the best and maximum referring to females' bodies
Anyways, there were a few things among that I could not held a grasp of.
As for the last screen pic at the end of the show.
To conclude, Godannar was a fun ride while it lasted. Hope that other studios produce other sci-fi anime just as cheesy and thriller like this title in the meantime future.
Well, that's all for my Godannar crave folks. See you next time!!

I finally finished it, and man, what a ride! This series kept me at the edge of my seat all the way--and the fanservice...! My favorite is undeniably that scene in the last episode where Morimoto's kids were hanging on to Anna's mother!
Just one question though.

There was a special on certain ADV DVDs a while back: 10 DVDs for $50. I wanted to get the last three FMP Fumoffu DVDs (which would usually come out to $60+), so I jumped on it. I couldn't think of any other ADV shows that I wanted to pick up (aside from Pani Poni Dash, but that wasn't elgible for the deal), so I got the Godannar box along with the first six DVDs (I didn't realize that it was seven DVDs until the box got here and six DVDs weren't enough to completely fill it), which I'd always heard was a good hotblooded show. (in case you're wondering, DVD #10 was Saint Seiya volume 1 w/ box)
I'm not expecting this to be top 10 material, but I am expecting to mildly enjoy it. (a high "good" on ANN's ratings scale, at least) If its on or below par with what I'm expecting, I plan to sell it for more than I bought it, but we'll see.
Episode 1
-I came in expecting plenty of G Gundam-like hotbloodedness. The first episode didn't disappoint.
-Goh looks pretty masculine for a harem lead. Usually they're either wiry or scrawny and look like about a C or lower on the manliness scale.
-Why does everyone want Anna so bad? Godannar's world is filled with hot girls.
-Hilary Haag always does a great job at making her roles lovable... These little spaz-fests wouldn't be anywhere near as cute as they are if it were your average VA doing it.
-Hilary Haag, Tifanny Grant, AND Kira Vincent Davis all in the same show? That's EPIC.
Episode 2
-Episode wasn't as good as the first one... still pretty entertaining, though.
-Goh's the man of the house! When he says "get in the kitchen and stay there", he means it, dammit!
-If that blonde chick is the one that I've seen a whole bunch of screencaps of, she looks a LOT hotter with her hair straight down. I never thought that she looked all that great with her hair up and the lipstick and everything...
-Is all the nudity exclusive to the DVD version? I don't remember seeing it in any of the screencaps that I saw.
Episode 3
-Great episode. I was smiling all the way through.
-xD @ the OP!
-So I guess that the blonde chick wasn't the one that I was thinking of. She looks even less attractive in her pilot's uniform. Her voice isn't helping, either.
-Hawt British girl is HAWT!
-I hope that the English, American, and Chinese teams stick around... They're too likable to be minor characters. The Russian team's kinda lame, though.
Episode 4
-So is this going to be one of those shows where all of the support characters aren't capable of doing anything more than supporting the leads while they destroy the enemy? This show's supporting cast deserves better.
-I forgot that a lot of the girls in this show had a crush on the male lead... at least it doesn't look like everybody aside from Anna is going to be left alone at the end.
Episode 5
-"Hahahaha! Lou, you're getting really good a-" *Lou presses a button* *ship that she's supposed to be guiding in gets cut in half, dead bodies go pouring out into space, then the ship explodes* XFD! (I know that it was just a monster, but it still made me laugh)
-Why were they letting Lou boss them around and tell them what they could and couldn't do with "her" robot again? Wouldn't that be considered military property?
-XFD @ Goh getting pissed at Anna fanservice in the next DVD preview! "HEY, THAT'S MY WIFE, DAMMIT!"
After the first DVD, I've got to say that its better than I thought it'd be. I might end up keeping this one.

You can get vol 7 form Rightsuf for 17.99. i ended having to buy vol 6 form the ADV st patrick day sale for $10 since I could get Rightstuf to change one fo the neo ranga dvds for vol6 before they ship it.
The nudity is dvd exclusive, same with Divergence eve where they left off the nipples in the tv but put it back on for the dvd.
Overall is Godannar is a very entertaining show if you were looking for a Hot blood Giant Robo show with plenty of fanservice.

Mom's asleep, 24's over, the dishes are done... its Godannar time!
Episode 6
Spoiler for Berserk:
-"That was several years ago." That's all you needed to say. Why do anime/manga characters generally tend to suck so bad at explaining misunderstandings?
Episode 7
-This episode pissed me off. I was thinking as soon as the gunner got stolen that it would be awesome if Shizuru got pissed and went up there and owned Max, but I figured that Goh and Anna would be the only ones doing any real damage, as usual. I was surprised when they actually sent Shizuru out with a grappling hook and told her to take back the gunner... So not only are they finally giving the supporting cast a chance to shine, they're going with the coolest possibly scenario?! Theb Max turns into some monster that's immune to bullets, and once again, Shizuru's useless. But wait, the gunner gets shot in the back and put of out commision... by the rookie that barely even knows how to fly. GODDAMMIT! STUPID ASS WRITERS! You even make the greenhorned little brat that hasn't even gone through combat training yet more useful than Shizuru! (for the record, Lou's alright, but that should have been Shizuru's moment)
Episode 8
-Its the incest Brits!
-Is Anna going to be bitching about Goh's old relationship with Mira all the way through? Not even Hilary Haag can make that into a likable character trait.
-"Let's close in for the kill! Let's do it, Mira!" "...What did you just say?!" "Ah-!" xD
Episode 9
-Likable supports finally pick up a win.
-Don't go, incest Brits.
Episode 7 aside, that was a good volume. Even episode 7 was pretty good if you forget about them refusing to make Shizuru useful in a fight.

Episode 10
-Lou had better get her ass handed to her in a big way here. Just one of those things took out an entire space station... she shouldn't even be able to beat one, much less a whole bunch of them. It looks like she's about to get roughed up, then somebody will come in for the save, but if she starts fighting on par with the better pilots... well, it won't make me dislike the show or anything, but it will be pretty dumb. And irritating, since the writers are still making sure that Shizuru can't do shit.
*watches episode 11*
Screw it, I think that I'm just going to watch. Looks like the next episode is going to be another Shizuru episode from the preview. Hopefully she finally gets the chance to do something other than be useless.

Godannar?Oh i've seen this anime a couple of months ago(both in Jap and english dubs which are both great in my opinion).I also love the fact that it feels like a 70's old school robot show with fanservice elements in its which is kinda funny..
The OP and ED theme songs and the soundtrack was good the fact that the veterans at Columbia Music were involved on this one and fact that Ichiro Mizuki and Mitsuko Horie had a duet song here(both of them had great performance here) but i don't like the idea that Akira Kushida(he's more known in Japan and in other countries as singer of the OP and ED themes of Metal Heroes toku shows like Gavan,Sharivan,Shaider,Juspion and Jiban) sung the OP theme,his voice here is kinda odd..

Shizuru isn't useless anymore!
I haven't tried to watch it subbed, but agreed on the dub being good. Hotbloodedness can be really annoying if the voice actors suck (Spike Spencer as Shinji Ikari, anybody?), but I haven't been annoyed by any of the voice acting yet. Hilary Haag playing one of the leads and Tifanny Grant playing one of the major supports is a huge plus too. The dub's only flaw is that Lou sounds older than she looks, and that doesn't really bother me all that much.
And I laughed the first time that I heard the OP. Its cheesy and catchy at the same time.

The cheese factor was the major reason i watch this the first when the fansubs first came out.

Nothing wrong with that in this case. I wanted to see the other teams get some more screen time. (except for team Russia... and they continued to suck)
My only real problem with Godannar so far is the lack of Mira development. She really feels like just a plot device. They haven't shown us much of her personality at all (she's nice... that's about it), especially when you consider that she's part of the show's central love triangle. Even some of the mechanics are more built character-wise.

I liked volumes 4 and 5. It was nice seeing the American and Chinese teams finally get some attention, and it was nice to see the incest Brits back too. The mechanics episode didn't really bug me either. (though I didn't like the guy with the glasses fetish... annoying AND a tasteless bastard!) Only episodes that I didn't like was the episode that revolved around the Russians only (that should have been a Mira episode instead) and the ones when Anna stopped being a pilot. The guy with the same face as the cat is pretty lame.
Also, am I the only one that thinks that Anna is one of the less attractive regular Godannar girls?
Ellis (British girl) > Shizuru > Luna (blonde American chick) >= Mira > Hayashi (Chinese girl) = blue haired tech chick = the black haired mechanic chick > the brown haired tech girl = Sakura (Anna's friend from school) = the redheaded mechanic chick > Anna > Kiriko (Anna's mom) > Shadow (the reverse trap American chick) = Ecaterina (ugly Russian chick) = the glasses mechanic chick
(yeah, shut up, I'm trying to kill time until 7)
I wonder why out of all of the female character designs, they picked hers for the lead...

I'm not so sure the Brits are incestous... Yeah, they treat each other like siblings in a forbidden love, but at the same time, I heard somewhere that they aren't blood-related either. Can't remember the source though.
I'd put Shizuru slightly above Ellis in terms of attractiveness, but otherwise, I'm in agreement on your attractiveness scale. Or maybe I'm biased, since Shizuru's my favourite. Of course, it is disregarding the last episode, where several characters get slight cosmetic changes...
Well, traditionally, the bright, peppy and loud tom-boy girl are most of the times, the least attractive... I'd say Anna's design fit her character well, when she's not pulling her self-emo card. She was seriously annoying then.

I haven't seen the last episode yet... I'm still waiting for volume 7 to get here. (bought it today on ebay for $17)
Shizuru's my favorite character, too... you saw me getting aggitated when I thought that it looked like she was going to be show's resident useless jobber.
Heh, I keep wanting to call Anna "Lou" for whatever reason. I guess that she looks more like a Lou than Lou does.

Lady Lions take Cavaliers to 'boarding school'
SAGU evens their record at 9-9 in 64-42 road victory
Seniors Winston and Roberts and freshmen trio pave the way
Box Score and Play-by-Play (links below)
SAC Standings at: http://www.soonerathletic.org/
SHAWNEE, Oklahoma -- A 17-4 surge in the first half gave Southwestern Assemblies of God University an eleven point lead on their way to a 64-42 besting of St. Gregory's University on Saturday at the W.P. Wood Fieldhouse.
SAGU leveled their record at 9-9 and improved their mark against competition in the Sooner Athletic Conference to 3-5. Head Coach Arlon Beadles' team is now 5-4 on the road.
Only one team in the SAC has won more (Texas Wesleyan, 6) away games.
St. Greg's slid to 2-11 overall and 1-6 in league games. They remain winless at home (0-6).
Senior guard Nia Winston (Garland, Tx / Lakeview Centennial HS ) converted a pair of three-point plays during the Lady Lions run to grab a 26-15 lead with 4:34 to go in the period.
The Lady Cavaliers would not seriously threaten the rest of the evening.
SAGU's defense limited the Cavs to 24% shooting for the game. In particular, Team Purple benefitted from the hosts misfiring from long distance (5 of 30).
After solid showings against No. 3 Oklahoma City University (10-2 record) and No. 19 John Brown University (13-3) in the past week, the Lady Lions continued their upgraded play in the hometown of Brad Pitt.
In contrast, the Pride was on target on 45% of their shots.
Developing as game-influencers are freshmen forwards Charity Page (Nacogdoches, Tx / Nacogdoches HS ) and Laken Ward (Cleveland, Ark / Wonderview HS ). Ward had 10 pace-setting rebounds in the first half as SAGU dominated the glass, 49-32.
With 13 boards on offense, the Lady Lions were able to overcome 17 turnovers by three guards.
Trailing 30-20 at recess, the Cavs turned up their defensive heat. They forced SAGU into misfiring on six of eight attempts and coercing three quick turnovers to draw within 34-26 five minutes into the second stanza.
They would not get any closer.
In fact, the Lady Lions responded with an 18-5 answer that stemmed the tide and established a 52-31 lead at 7:18 to go.
During the decisive stretch of the game Winston drained two triples, thanks to passes from Shaquita Roberts (San Antonio, Tx / Byron Steele HS ) and point guard Taylor Hill (Waxahachie, Tx / Waxahachie HS ).
Hill collected three of her five assists as Team Lioness took charge. She also dished dimes to Roberts and Page.
Winston netted two foul shots, a steal by Ward led to a Roberts layup and Alexis McAfee (DeSoto, Tx / DeSoto HS ) scored to put the visitors firmly in control.
SAGU would prolong their upper hand with a 26-point lead (63-37) late in the game.
Winston and Roberts had what Assistant Coach Kory Henry called "great, all-around games."
Winston's stat line included a game-high 22 points. She made 7-of-16 shots, two treys and six-of-eight free throws.
At 5'6, the leading scorer in the SAC registered four assists and had three steals.
Her scoring average increased to 18.1 points per game. She has been in double-figures in thirteen consecutive games and in 15 of the 18 games this season.
Roberts reached double digits for the first time in twelve games. She sank 5-of-6 tries for 11 points, pulled down five boards and blocked two shots.
McAfee (MACK-ah-fee), a freshman, had one of her better games to date. She was good on four-of-five attempts for eight points. Six rebounds and two helpers reflected well on her play on the wing.
Ward totaled 11 rebounds (four offensive), four points and swiped the ball on three occasions.
Meanwhile, the six-foot Page was credited with eight rebounds, six points and rejected two Cavalier shots. Jirah Rodriguez () added seven caroms (KAIR-ums).
Hill finished with six points and five rebounds.
St. Greg's 5-foot-10 guard Kylie Tatum, a sophomore, paced the Cavs with 14 points. She has scored 10 or more in five of the last six contests.
Sideline Point of View
"We've been working hard on doing a better job getting to rebounds," said Henry. The results confirmed that it paid off.
"This was a nice win on the road against a very well coached St. Gregory's team," Coach Beadles said following the game. "We had great offensive play out of Nia and Shaquita tonight."
"Our offensive effort was complimented by the tremendous rebounding efforts of Laken and Charity."
"I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of this team," he added. "We have a great group of young ladies who glorify God in all things they do."
Purple Pride in action Tuesday in Cedar Hill
SAGU's next appearance is a local road game on Tuesday, January 21, when they play Northwood University (8-10 / 1-7 in SAC).
The game tips-off at 6:00pm at Nutting Arena, the home gym for Trinity Christian School (1231 E. Pleasant Run Road, Cedar Hill 75104).
It is approximately 26 minutes from SAGU at Trinity Church.
The Lady Lions have twelve games remaining, half of them at home.

'Inferno' is One of the latest movies which is having its release in India today and is getting a very impressive response from the audience. The movie 'Inferno' is basically and American mystery thriller movie which is being directed by Ron Howard and is being written by David Koepp, while the movie is based on the 2013 novel which is published with the same name by Dan Brown.
The movie is also the sequel to the very known and exceptional movies like ' The Da Vinci Code' and the 'Angels & Demons' while the movie is having a very exceptional star cast which is being led by Tom Hanks as the lead role, reprising his role a Robert Langdon, alongside Felicity Jones, Omar Sy, Side about Knudsen and the very famous actor Irrfan Khan from Indian origin.
While the main story of the movie which is based on the story of a person named as Robert Langdon who suddenly awakes in an hospital one day and finds himself with no memory of what had happened with him and then to get his memories back he takes the help of Dr. Sienna Brooks and his logic of symbology, this simple story gets more and more interesting and complicated with time as he gets more and more riddles and problems in his way to get his lost memories back.
The movie didn't get very great ratings and the critics have presented the movie with quite only for approval ratings of 27% and the average rating is also below the normal level.While the movie was not able to do all that it can do with all the old team od director Howard and the screen writer David Koepp.
Then as the story gets serious, Langdon decipher a trail of clues which was left behind by a billionaire bioengineer, Bertrand Zobrist being portrayed by (Ben Foster), who has rustled up a deadly virus aimed at halving the world's population, this was one of the points which were not greatly appreciated by the most of the audience and critics too, because crazy scientists who want to end the world didn't seem to be a very normal story of it is just more than enough normal.
So this story is being managed by Robert Langdon to finds its to way to not only get his memory back but also to stop this from getting worse. The one of the major highlight in the movie is Irrfan Khan, who plays the shadowy Harry Sims 'The Provost' of a secret security agency that works for any client who has money to spare, has dubbed his own part in Hindi, while the Mumbai actor Sahil Chadha has lent his voice to Hanks in the Hindi version.
The duo has done some very great moments in the movie and shares the screens like some of those exceptional actors of the world. While the movie is preferred for those who wants to see the world-class acting of both Tom Hanks and Irrfan Khan in the same movie.

I was seeing this guy. I'm 24 he is 31. He said he didn't want to date me because I was immature and inexperience in life. He said I was crazy and had head problems to fix before I could be with anyone. every time I try to break it off he wouldn't let me. He ended up breaking it off and telling me to delete his number and other hurtful things. We work together and I told him to stay away from me. He did not like the sound of that. After he ended it with me, at work he prolongs any conversation with me. He stares at me or make noises to get my attention. Other days he completely avoids me. Like if he sees me coming he turns and walks in a different direction. I also believe he stole my phone. I was at work early one day and all alone. I left to check something out on site (I work on a construction site) and came back and it was gone. He dissapeared for a little while too. Oh and he had a girlfriend the entire time that I didn't know about. Why is he being this way? What should I do? I've tried to talk to him about it but he won't let me. I am a little afraid of him because I don't really know who he is and what he is capable of.
He said he didn't want to date me. Why is he acting this way?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
He's got issues and he's the one that's immature. Forget this dude00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
Sounds like he's the one who has stuff to sort out. I think you should try your best to cut off any communication with him. He sounds really controlling, and that shouldn't carry on especially after you broke up. You don't have to make a big deal of ignoring him, but just try to stay away as much as possible.00|00|0

Working The High Mesa
Artist: Scott Rogers
Have you ever given a job to someone and spent the next hour, day or week wondering whether it would get done?
Have you ever given a job to someone and rested easy from the moment the words came out of your mouth? You knew the job would be finished ahead of time.
What type of feeling do "you" give off? This one takes some serious self examination.
I love the subtle clues in a piece. You'll have to hunt for a few here. The time period can be determined from the type of hat he's wearing and by the make of the saddle. The reins are the macate' type (anywhere from 20 to 50 feet long). Notice the snake hide on the back of the cantle (rattlesnakes have a natural glue that adheres like iron when they dried). Many cowboys would kill a snake - skin it - and stretch the hide over their cantles. Ever heard of slobber leathers off a bit? They create leverage for the reins and provide comfort for the horse. Notice the hog nose tapederos. They will give you an idea of the type of country this cowboy is working. Ever noticed that your old timey cowboy never rode with canteens?
This is fun. I enjoy putting things in a piece that teach, reveal, and explain the who, where and why. I like to have folks own work of mine and discover new things years after they have owned it.

How do I re-use the custom URL from the deleted form?Asked by leadbelly on January 14, 2015 at 07:28 PM
I created a custom url for my rsvp form www.jotform.us/leadbelly/rsvp.But I ended up cloning the form and deleting the original form. The new form will not allow me to use the joform.us/leadbelly/rsvp URL i originally created. Can you help?
JotForm Support
Try to restore the form from your trash folder, edit it and remove the custom URL name. I think you can't use the name because you have it already to the deleted form.

Time to chill out, sort of....
It's no secret I've been going full-bore for a while now, burning the candle at both ends and in the middle! I've actually gotten a few emails from some fans and customers concerned I'm going to burn myself out ;) I have been keeping a hard pace though, and I am going to chill out, in some respects. I've been regularly working 18-19 hour days, every day for about the last 2 months or so, maybe taking off a few hours here and there, but not really. It's been tough (but only so tough when you get to do what I do!).
Now that we have Noodler's, I feel like we have a pretty good selection of inks (280ish colors) and don't need to so aggressively pursue new brands for a little bit. We're really pacing ourselves with expanding paper, too. We're adding a product here, some rulings there, but nothing too crazy. My poor wife needs a break from all the web work! We're going to chill out a little bit as far as the rapid expansion goes (though if you know me at all, I just can't help myself!), and really focus on streamlining our current operation so I can have more time for the more 'fun' parts of my job! We're still getting some new stuff like the new Diamine colors and Pelikan Edeltstein, as well as others. I'm going to be working over this next week to do up samples and swabs of all the new ink colors, which in and of itself is a ton of time! :O
I'm going to shift my focus a bit to really learning the products inside and out. My time has been limited lately and I haven't been able to just spend some good quality time learning how everything is in use. I plan to focus on doing some ink reviews, perhaps get into podcasting (audio and video, if it's feasible), and just look to get more experience with everything, especially the inks. The Ink Drop is going to be a great way to have a communal conversation about inks, and I'm really looking forward to that!
So that's what you can be expecting from me moving forward. We're working to streamline everything we do now so I can maintain the good product knowledge and great customer service we've built GouletPens.com on. I promise, I won't burn myself out!

I have fixed the problem in your subscription account. It was previously trying to bill you using the other payment processor Plimus.
But since you already have subscription payment on Fastspring(other payment processor), I have now cancelled the Plimus billing. So, it should stop sending you email anymore about the failed subscription payment.
Please inform us if you have further inquiry.

A few pics of the produce so far – been travelling a fair bit so I have been a quite neglectful. However, the allotment has been going along happily without me!
More allotmenting….
I've noticed that my allotment doesn't look like everyone else's…. it's more of a riot really…
Anyway I press on. Some of the sweetcorn have two cobs coming: so exciting! The pumpkin is growing lots of pumpkins everywhere. I'm slightly in awe of it's productivity. Rasps have finally grown a bit more. Still no courgettes – I have bought more compost. Beans are coming. The weeds are also doing very well. Artichokes are looking beautiful, and I even have an aubergine coming (pic to follow). Feeling slightly overwhelmed now. Anyway – more pics of produce soon.
The benefits of imperfection, and a little walk
It has been a strange few allotment weeks. I ventured back down there, to find most things have grown a lot…. especially the weeds, but better still the pumpkin (the plant, if not the pumpkins, is about 10ft across) and the rhubarb. Some things still have not taken off. The peas had gone over, but the sweetcorn plants are now taller than me!
Some weird allotment politics also going on – who knew. I have brought a cordless strimmer to finish off the half mown path. Plus the judgement against failures. This is somewhat annoying – I just want to say – people it's just an allotment, let's keep it all in perspective. After all, that's the joy of gardening, and growing in general. Some things work, some things don't, you learn, you remember what is important and what isn't. A bit of imperfection is acceptable, in life, and in allotments.
Maybe it's the heat… anyway here are some nice green pics. Also a little walk near home, so a few extra photos, including the burnt log which I quite liked. More soon…. as it's taken me a few days to pluck up the courage to post this!
Hampton Heat
It was soooo hot. And what's more it had been even hotter. The rose tent was unbearable – I tried to take a few snaps anyway. But my absolute favourite garden was the Brownfields Metamorphosis – I loved the combination of rust and soft planting, structure and movement. Definitely inspired! Other things to like were the red helenium, the dark blue agapanthus, the kids garden, the urban rain garden, extremely expensive (and unaffordable) greenhouses, and some lovely water features…. here are some highlights:
Allotment update
A few catch up photos. I've not been well, so barely tending the place. Happily it's been raining. I'm going to go again this weekend, and imagine the weeds are now triffid-like in size. The pumpkin has gone crazy and is taking over. The courgettes are not thriving at all. I am going to swap the compost in the winter – I am sure this is the problem. I'm very excited about the sweetcorn – this is the healthiest batch I've ever grown!

Unless a "web-based" email service is being used, any typing into the editor of an email program is done only in the local machine. It wouldn't necessarily need to be connected to the internet until the message was being sent, so her problem isn't internet based.
When the problem is present, she should have a look in Task Manager to see if something is using an excessive amount of the CPU resources. If the CPU is running at 100%, then there is an issue with an application which leaves no resources to do anything else, hence the unresponsive typing.

Looks like Sanjay Dutt is fed up of playing a gangster in every other film. Apparently he's now hunting for exciting, challenging and more real life-based characters and not just those bhai roles.
He's reportedly said, "At this stage of my career, I want to play roles I haven't done so far. I'm playing a very different role in my next release EMI. It has turned out really, really well. And it goes into a new territory. I haven't done a real-life part before. And it's a really superb script. So let's see."
The actor feels the project will prove lucky for good pal Suniel Shetty after Mission Istaanbul tanked.
The buzz is that he turned down Ekta Kapoor and Suniel's Gen Next, directed by Apoorva Lakhia introducing the winners from the reality show 'Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket' because he didn't want to be associated with Lakhia.
Sanjay confirmed that it was because of the script and not because of Lakhia with whom he had worked in Shootout At Lokhandwala.
This guy's hell bent on acting according to his new decision this time around. Let's wait and watch to see how it actually works out for him!

on Juan de Marana damages Spanish prestige in diplomatic circles with his indiscreet womanizing, but he attempts to rehabilitate his image after he meets the beautiful Queen Margaret, trapped in a loveless arranged marriage with the weak and feckless King Philip III. The Queen becomes the love of Don Juan's life, and although she is obviously attracted to him, the relationship remains appropriately platonic. Becoming caught up in court intrigue, Don Juan uncovers a plot by the King's minister, the ruthless Duke de Lorca, to become the power behind the throne. After de Lorca is exposed by Don Juan, he brazenly intimidates the cowardly king into compliance and threatens to execute the uncooperative queen. Helped by his friends, his servant Leporello, fencing master Don Serafino, and court jester Sebastian, Don Juan tries to foil the Duke's evil machinations.Resumen IMDb.com

I doubt that data security keeps most dealers up at night. But it probably should, considering its staggering impact. Each year, cybercrime costs the global economy $575 billion—$100 billion of that in the U.S. alone!
Data breaches are an expensive problem, and hackers increasingly are targeting the automotive industry and its lucrative bank of social security numbers and financial information. Just take a look at these findings by NetIQ:
- Automotive firms reported a 32% increase in reported detected cyberattacks.
- More than 70% of organizations surveyed in their 2015 report had been affected by a successful cyberattack last year.
- The average cost of a corporate data breach is $3.5 million.
- The vast majority of security incidents involve a current or former employee.
The automotive industry will continue to be a tempting target for cybercriminals, but you can fight back by creating a solid data management and security plan. Expert David Spisak—ReverseRisk President & CEO—shared the four key steps you should take to control your dealership's data.
- Take ownership. It doesn't mean you have to do all the work; it just means you need to be actively engaged in every aspect of your organization's data management.
- Find a good gatekeeper. This person will be directly responsible for executing the plans and processes that you approve for your organization. They will also maintain and monitor your firewall, conduct spot checks of employee internet access and create access reports for your review.
- Create formal access policies. Outline what type of access new and existing employees should have to your data. Be sure to develop a clear plan for closing data access for former employees, who are likely to be your biggest data security risks.
- Review access reports monthly. Weekly is even better. No matter the interval, review who is accessing your data network and take steps to address any issues.
These steps are just the start to securing your data and protecting your business. Join David Spisak in Park City, Utah, December 10-11 for more details on the data security risks dealers face and how best to prepare your store against these attacks.

Online Digital Signage as a Service
NoviSign provides a modern Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for complete digital signage. The cloud-based digital signage software is the perfect way to create and manage campaigns online, as it removes the server management, software installation, backup, and all other IT related headaches. The sign-up process is both simple and self-explanatory. From that point, you are connected to your personal area under the NoviSign server and can start managing your campaigns. NoviSign provides a unique white label for partners, allowing them to use NoviSign as a 'back office' embedded in their own Web sites, completely transparent to their customers, and with special partner's rate. Refer to the following page to learn more about our Partner program.
The online signage manager tool has the following features:
A Creative can be a media file such as an image, an animated short or a movie loaded directly into the NoviSign manager. The most common type of Creative, however, is a slide, which is a composite screen built with the NoviSign editor. In the slide. the screen can be split into a number of areas to present different advanced media components.
This is an online Creative composer tool that enables configuring the screen into a few main zones and combining different advanced media on the same screen. The online signage Editor allows you to add: text, images, clips, SWF, rolling text, RSS, YouTube & Ustream videos, Facebook, Instagram, a clock, and much more.
The Playlist is a set of created slides or media files that are placed in the order of display and which can be scheduled for broadcast.
The Player is a logical identifier of the player software app, which retrieves the information from the NoviSign server and presents it on the screen. In the previous version of NoviSign, this would called, a "screen," as in most instances, there is a one-one relation between the player and the screen (each player is connected to a screen)
If you have many screens under your responsibility, you can always group them together by location or subject and send a broadcast to all the groups at once.
Just log in to our NoviSign online signage manager tool at app.novisign.com and with just a few clicks, you will be able to broadcast to any one of your screens around the world.

I want to help you get 3x faster results in half the time....
What is your main goal at the moment?
T-Up by Nutrex is a testosterone booster that claims to help elevate your testosterone levels by up to 42% over a 12 day period. Clearly some powerful results to live up to. How does it stand up? Let's find out in this T-Up review.
Let's dive deeper into the T-Up Nutrex product to show you whether it lives up to its claims.
When looking at the ingredients in T-Up by Nutrex, we come to see that it's a very simple line-up. You'll get 2 mg of vitamin B6, 400 mcg of Folic Acid, 6 mcg of Vitamin B12, as well as 15 mg of Zinc.
This provides you with the very popular combination 'ZMA' along with some additional folic acid.
ZMA has been shown to help those who are suffering from low testosterone bring their numbers back.
It's also a very good sleep aid, and since sleep is critical to improving natural testosterone release in the body, you'll also get great benefit there as well.
ZMA may also help to naturally give your libido a boost also, so if you are suffering in that department, you may see good results from using this supplement. Finally, it can also help to increase sperm count in men who currently have lower sperm levels, so could help those suffering from infertility.
It does not contain some key ingredients that's why it did not make it to our top 3 list for testosterone boosters.
Because this supplement is very all-natural with ingredients you'd otherwise get from food, there is no risk of any side effects.
The only side effect you may find is that you want to sleep a little longer, which, provided you have the time to do so, will be a very positive and favorable side effect.
You can purchase T-Up by Nutrex at major supplement retailors such as Bodybuilding.com or directly on the Nutrex website. You'll pay just under $40 for a 120 capsule serving on Bodybuilding.com, making it one of the lower priced products on the market.
For best results with T-Up by Nutrex, you should take four capsules once per day, between two of your meals. There is no need to take this product right before bed like some other products, so any time during the day is fine.
The manufacturers recommend that you take this product for 60 days straight in order to see optimal results.
T-Up by Nutrex is a decent product but did not make it to our top 3 list for testosterone booster because it does not contain a few key ingredients.
Overall, this product is a very simple product so if you want something basic at a lower price point compared to other testosterone boosting blends, it might be the product for you.
One thing to keep in mind though is that you can purchase ZMA in basic form for a much lower price, so that should also be a consideration, especially if you want to keep costs a low as possible.
One thing that is interesting is that the product claims you should take it for 60 days straight, but yet, they also claim that testosterone levels are elevated up to 42% over a 12 day period. From this, one can assume that that initial claim is not typical of the norm, so do not expect those kinds of results from using this product.
If you want a product that will enhance sleep however and may give you an added boost in the gym, then you will likely be fairly satisfied with the T-Up product by Nutrex.

In this session, attendees will learn to identify, understand and improve classroom inattention and motor actions to maintain a calm climate for academic concentration. Inhibitory networks make up half of the brain's neurons; they are sometimes incompletely formed in children with ADHD and seen as wiggly, fidgety, squirmy, restlessness and impulse behaviors, but can be improved for self-control that calms the entire classroom. Simple structured movements for whole-class participation can produce mature concentration and consistent focus by preventing sudden shifts in mental focus and distracting discomfort.

Cambodia's Ministry of Labour raised the minimum wage from 140 dollars to 153 dollars per month in its vital garment sector to little fanfare on Thursday afternoon.
"The minimum wage of garment factory workers for 2017 has been officially determined by 153 dollars a month," the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said in a statement in Khmer.
The change will go into effect on January 1, and impact over 700,000 Cambodians employed in the garment sector, the majority of whom are women, according to Better Factories Cambodia, a programme of the International Labour Organization.
Cambodian factories produce clothing for international brands like Adidas, Puma, Armani, H&M, and Gap.
The 5-billion-dollar industry is Cambodia's largest and responsible for 80 per cent of its exports. It is also the only industry in the country to have a government-mandated minimum wage. That rate is decided during annual discussions between labour unions, manufacturers, and the government.
The annual wage debates often prompt large-scale protests and violence. In January 2014, five people were killed when police opened fire on a crowd of hundreds of protesting garment workers, who were dissatisfied with the latest wage increase. Police used water cannons in December 2015 to disperse a crowd of 20,000 to 30,000 protesting garment workers at a special economic zone in eastern Cambodia.
This year, however, the discussions have been largely overshadowed by escalating tensions between Cambodia's two main political parties and the Pchum Ben ghost festival, considered one of Cambodia's most important holidays.

Who was Albert Namatjira?
Albert Namatjira is Australia's most famous Indigenous watercolour artist but his story is hardly known.
Here are some quick facts…
- Albert was among the first Indigenous people to become an Australian citizen at a time when Indigenous people were still categorised as flora and fauna?
- Albert was arrested for supplying alcohol to 'Indigenous people, who were in fact his relatives?
- Albert met Queen Elizabeth, after being awarded the Queen's Coronation Medal, in Canberra in 1954?
- Albert was the first Indigenous person to be listed in Who's Who in Australia?
Albert's life story provides a valuable insight, not only into Australia's history, but into our modern-day relations with Indigenous people.
Albert Namatjira grew up at the Lutheran Mission in Hermannsburg, 120km west of Alice Springs. It was there in the mid-1930's that he was exposed to western watercolour painting under instruction from Rex Battarbee. Albert learnt quickly, and impressed those in the art world around him. In 1938 he held his first solo exhibition, signing his works with his full name for the first time, and selling out in 3 days.
From then on, his works were exhibited prominently around the country, presented to the Queen and many dignitaries, and his exhibitions sold out before they even opened. Albert took on the role of educator to his family and community, teaching watercolour techniques to his sons, particularly Oscar, Keith, Ewald, Enos and Maurice, and to his cousins and community, including the Pareroultja's, Pannka's, Rubuntja's, Abbott's and Wirri's. Before long, the central desert watercolour tradition had become prolific.
This generation then passed on the tradition to their sons and daughters, who in turn have passed it on to their sons and daughters. This third generation of watercolour artists are an integral part of the Namatjira project and are featured in the Namatjira project's exhibition.
Learn more about his life, legacy, inspiration and international impact by listening to songs and reading poetry about Albert, and exploring links to other websites.

Ronald Peterson: Biographies
Mr. Ronald R. Peterson
Ronald R. Peterson is president of the Johns Hopkins Health System and executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine — the umbrella alliance of the health system and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In these leadership positions, Mr. Peterson provides senior oversight through an executive structure for the health system's six hospitals: The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Howard County General Hospital, Suburban Hospital, Sibley Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. He also serves as chair of Johns Hopkins Community Physicians, which has more than 39 primary and specialty care outpatient sites throughout Maryland and the Washington, D.C., area, and as a director of Johns Hopkins HealthCare, Johns Hopkins Home Care Group and Johns Hopkins Medicine International.
Mr. Peterson served as the 10th president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, from December 1996 until July 2016 — a period during which the hospital maintained its record of being ranked #1 in the nation for 22 years out of the first quarter-century that U.S. News & World Report compiled its annual Best Hospitals rankings, beginning in 1991.
Mr. Peterson arrived at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1973 as an administrative resident and by 1974 had been named administrator of the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic. In 1975, he became head of The Johns Hopkins Hospital's Cost Improvement Program, then administrator of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in 1978.
In 1982, he was asked to become the executive director of the financially troubled and decrepit Baltimore City Hospitals, then mired in debt, under a contract between the city and The Johns Hopkins Hospital. He led the transformation of the facility, directing a $100 million physical redevelopment program and turning a $7 million a year loss under city ownership into a significant, positive bottom-line performance. The medical center, now known as Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, became part of the Johns Hopkins Health System in 1984. Mr. Peterson was named president that same year and continued serving in that position until 1999, even after he became president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
In 1995, Mr. Peterson was named executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Johns Hopkins Health System, assigned to bring stronger coordination and cohesion to its operations and strategic planning. He was named acting president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System in September 1996. The hospital position was made permanent in December 1996, as was the health system position in February 1997. Since 1998, he has also served as the executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
A 1970 graduate of The Johns Hopkins University, Mr. Peterson obtained a master's degree in hospital administration from The George Washington University. Among his many civic activities, Mr. Peterson serves as vice chairman of the Governor's Workforce Investment Board and holds an appointment on the Notre Dame of Maryland University President's Advisory Council. He serves as a member of the boards of the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education, the Living Classrooms Foundation, the Greater Baltimore Committee and the Center Club. Most recently, he completed terms as a member of the Maryland Hospital Association Executive Committee, the Board of Governors of the University HealthSystem Consortium and the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare's Leadership Advisory Council.
These undertakings, as well as his work on behalf of Johns Hopkins Medicine, have in the past decade earned him induction in the Maryland Chamber of Commerce's Business Hall of Fame; distinguished alumnus awards from The Johns Hopkins University and the George Washington University School of Public Health; the Community Service Award (on behalf of Johns Hopkins Medicine) from Chabad, the largest Jewish religious organization in the world; the Maryland House of Delegates Speaker's Medallion for outstanding contributions to the state; the Governor's International Leadership Award; the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber of Commerce's Freeman Hrabowski Visionary Leadership Award; and the Greater Baltimore Committee's Walter Sondheim Public Service Award. He was also honored by the creation of the $2.5 million endowed Ronald R. Peterson Professorship in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Born in 1948, the New Brunswick, New Jersey, native now lives in Bel Air, Maryland, with his wife, Elizabeth "Rooney" Peterson. Their daughter, Susie, a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is a member of the emergency medicine faculty at Johns Hopkins, and their son, Joe, is an attorney in Baltimore. They have four grandsons.
