Set before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, this new novel is a thrilling follow-up to Star Wars: Darth Plagueis.
It's kill or be killed in the space penitentiary that houses the galaxy's worst criminals, where convicts face off in gladiatorial combat while an underworld gambling empire reaps the profits of the illicit blood sport. But the newest contender in this savage arena, as demonic to behold as he is deadly to challenge, is fighting for more than just survival. His do-or-die mission, for the dark masters he serves, is to capture the ultimate weapon: an object that will enable the Sith to conquer the galaxy.
Sith lords Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious are determined to possess the prize. And one of the power-hungry duo has his own treacherous plans for it. But first, their fearsome apprentice must take on a bloodthirsty prison warden, a cannibal gang, cutthroat crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and an unspeakable alien horror. No one else could brave such a gauntlet of death and live. But no one else is the dreaded dark-side disciple known as Darth Maul.

Maul + Prison = Too Much Fun
- Troy
Unleash the Dark Side
Intense, dark, action.
Darth Maul of course takes the cake. This story really brings out the wide array of talents he possesses and really drives home why he is the most dangerous being in the galaxy.
An excellent performance. He really evokes the dark nature of the story.
Parts of Schreiber's story are very...disturbing. He really evokes fear and darkness.
Schreiber's stories are what I would expect from the EU. Something fun to read without feeling like this is the main story and where does it fit into cannon.

Surveillance video from a Vancouver, British Columbia convenience store caught a customer in a wheelchair taking down a man who was having a confrontation with the clerk.
A customer handed the clerk a counterfeit $50 bill and after she insisted on calling the authorities he made the mistake of going behind the counter.
Wheelchair-bound Larry Skopnik witnessed the exchange and sprung into action.
"Just because I'm in a chair doesn't mean I can't stand up and do something righteous and do the right thing," Skopnik said.
As the man wrestled with the clerk for his counterfeit bill, Skopnik grabbed him from behind with a choke hold and took him to the ground.

Great little Ocracoke motel. A wonderful old-timey place. Very friendly, comfortable, neat and super-clean. You can park directly outside your room, so it's easy to get to fishing, biking, or beach equipment in the truck. There's a small private dock off the backyard on Silver Lake. The view there is beautiful. There's a shaded front porch with ceiling fans and chairs outside the room, relax, or chat with neighbors. Great location, right in the center of town, just a short bike ride to anywhere. We had an excellent stay.

Invention Process
Jackson Martin
I took a look at the most important 6-10 inventions from each time period we studied and I put all of them in a chart and gave the reason for their importance and what impact they made and why it was necessary. This took me a better part of the year to come up with an idea that could be 1) important to me and 2) important to others. This is important to me because I find engineering and how things work interesting. The reason this is important to others is because it is a baseline as to what needs to be done in the future for bigger better inventions. So I started coming up with my big idea and it was to come up with a way to improve the future. This is a way to improve the future because it is shedding light on inventions that caused inventions later in time and that this can happen at any time.
The above link is to my long list of inventions and their importance. Another way I wanted to make this more creative is what if I took the most important invention from each time period and made a map of where they were invented and some more information about those inventions and why I chose them.
The above link is to my top 4 inventions
And finally, this link is to all of the work I put in to American History this year

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/751,392 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,647,108, filed Jan. 2, 2001 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The invention relates to a call processing feature for telephone calls and more particularly relates to a call processing feature for incoming calls placed to a shared usage voice and Internet access telephone line.
Telephone Network Control
All telecommunication systems having multiple switching offices which require signaling between the offices. Telephone networks require signaling between switching offices for transmitting, routing and obtaining destination information, for transmitting alerting messages such as to indicate the arrival of an incoming call, and for transmitting supervisory information, e.g., relating to line status. Signaling between offices can use 'in-band' or 'out-of-band' transport.
In-band signaling utilizes the same channel that carries the communications of the parties. In a voice telephone system, for example, one of the common forms of in-band signaling between offices utilizes multi-frequency signaling over voice trunk circuits. The same voice trunk circuits also carry the actual voice traffic between switching offices. In-band signaling, however, tends to be relatively slow and ties up full voice channels during the signaling operations. In telephone call processing, a substantial percentage of all calls go unanswered because the destination station is busy. For in-band signaling, the trunk to the end office switching system serving the destination is set-up and maintained for the duration of signaling until the office informs the originating office of the busy line condition. As shown by this example, in-band signaling greatly increases congestion on the traffic channels, that is to say, the voice channels in the voice telephone network example. In-band signaling also is highly susceptible to fraud because hackers have developed devices which mimic in-band signals.
Out-of-band signaling evolved to mitigate the problems of in-band signaling. Out-of-band signaling utilizes separate channels, and in many cases separate switching elements. As such, out-of-band signaling reduces congestion on the channels carrying the actual communications traffic. Also, messages from the end user always utilize an in-band format and remain in-band, making it virtually impossible for an end-user to simulate signal messages which ride on an out-of-band channel or network. Out-of-band signaling utilizes its own signal formats and protocols and is not constrained by protocols and formats utilized for the actual communication, therefore out-of-band signaling typically is considerably faster then in-band signaling.
Out of band signaling networks typically include data links and one or more packet switching systems. Out-of-band signaling for telephone networks is often referred to as Common Channel Signaling (CCS) or Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS). In the U.S., most such signaling communication for telephone networks utilize Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol. An SS7 compliant CCIS network comprises data switching systems designated Signal Transfer Point (STP) and data links between the STP and various telephone switching offices of the network, i.e., the Service Switching Points (SSPs). In intelligent versions of the telephone network including high level central database and control nodes, identified as Service Control Points (SCPs) such as an Integrated Services Control Points (ISCPs) by Telcordia Technologies, the CCIS network also includes data links connecting the high level control nodes to one or more of the STP.
The STP are program controlled packet data switching systems. In operation, an STP receives a packet data message from another node of the network, for example from an end office SSP. The STP analyzes point code information in the packet and routes the packet according to a static translation table stored with the STP. Any packet having a particular point code is output on a port going to the next CCIS signaling node specified by translation of that point code.
The development of the CCIS network has recently permitted the offering of a number of new service features provided by centralized program control from a high level control point. Such an enhanced telephone network is often termed an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN). In an AIN type system, local and/or toll offices of the public telephone network detect one of a number of call processing events identified as AIN "triggers". For ordinary telephone service calls, there would be no event to trigger AIN processing; and the local and toll office switches would function normally and process such calls without referring to the central database for instructions. An office which detects a trigger will suspend call processing, compile a call data message and forward that message via the CCIS signaling network to an ISCP which may include a Multi-Services Application Platform (MSAP) database. If needed, the ISCP can instruct the central office to obtain and forward additional information. Once sufficient information about the call has reached the SCP, the SCP accesses it's stored data tables in the MSAP database to translate the received message data into a call control message and returns the call control message to the office of the network via CCIS link. The network offices then use the call control message to complete the particular call. An AIN type network for providing an Area Wide Centrex Service was disclosed and described in detail and commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,571 to Key et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. Existing AIN type systems, such as disclosed in the Key et. al. patent, utilize the routing functionality of the STP and the CCIS network as described above. Every time a specified switching office launches a query for an identified SCP, the translation table in the STP(s) of the CCIS network causes the STP(s) to route the query message to that ISCP.
Many of the enhanced communications services offered by the AIN permit a subscriber to input control information, to manage services as desired. For example, in a simple forwarding or redirection service, the subscriber might change the 'forward to' number from time to time to route calls to different destination. As another example, a subscriber might want to block calls unless they are to, or from, numbers on a list, and the subscriber would want to change the list of numbers from time to time. Some subscribers need to change certain information quite frequently, even for relative simple AIN services. Another example of an AIN feature is call waiting. Call Waiting, although it could be, is not an AIN service in Verizon. Call waiting is a telephone feature which alerts a called party to an incoming call when that party's telephone is busy with another call. An incoming call can be indicated to the called party by a click on the telephone line. At that point, the called party may place the existing call on hold and answer the new incoming call.
The Internet And Telephone Access
Many users today connect their computer terminals to the Internet over a conventional POTS telephone line through a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) to an Internet Access Provider (IAP), which provides access to the Internet and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Most users today have a single telephone line to their homes and must disable call waiting when they are connected to the Internet. When call waiting is disconnected, callers receive a busy signal as long as the called party is connected to the Internet. With the call waiting disabled, the called party is unaware of the incoming call and does not have the opportunity to either end their Internet session or place their Internet session on hold to answer the incoming call.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,982,774 details a system, which when a user is connected to the Internet over their telephone line through an Internet Access Provider (IAP), allows the user to place their Internet connection on hold and connect to the incoming call. The Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) sends a signal to the IAP that indicates the presence of the waiting call. The IAP then transmits this information to the user's terminal, and the user may take the call.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,805,587 discusses a method in which a facility is provided to alert a subscriber connected to the Internet of a waiting call via their Internet connection. The waiting call may be forwarded via the Public Switched Network (PSN) to a services' platform which establishes a connection to the subscriber via the Internet. The subscriber is then notified of the waiting call and allowed access to, if desired, the incoming call.
However, these systems are relatively inflexible and involve rerouting calls to an intelligent platform to provide the logic and call processing functionality of the services.
A need exists which will notify the called party who is engaged in an Internet session, of the incoming call and allow them to end their Internet session and receive the incoming call, without the overhead associated with other methods.
The invention includes a method of and system for notifying an internet client that a call is being attempted to the subscriber's telephone line being used to access a data service, such as the Internet. The invention uses CCS and AIN features to determine that the subscriber's telephone line is being used to access an associated data service that is compatible with the present notification system. If the subscriber is using a compatible service, a data message is sent to the subscriber via that service to notify the subscriber of the incoming call. During this period, rather than rerouting the call, the destination SSP suspends processing until the subscriber selects from among several hardline procedures for the call. For example, the subscriber, using the computer terminal used to access the Internet (the "client" terminal) may elect to (i) ignore the incoming call; (ii) inform the incoming caller to call back later; (iii) route the call to another telephone number; (iv) route the call to a voice messaging platform; (v) allow the caller to input some form of identification, such as a PIN, to initiate special handling; (vi) accept the call and place the Internet connection on hold or terminate the Internet connection; (vii) route the call to a VoIP server and accept the call using the Internet; (viii) route the call to an intelligent peripheral (IP) allowing the subscriber to generate a customized voice message to be played or synthesized; or other options.
The present invention uses the facilities of the Advance Intelligent Network (AIN) and an Internet Application Server to detect that a line busy condition is related to a subscriber's connection to the Internet. Upon identification of the cause of the line busy condition, normal line busy processing is suspended to avoid interrupting and compromising the data connection. Instead, appropriate messaging is generated to notify the subscriber, via the existing Internet connection, that a call is being attempted together with information about the call (e.g., calling party name and number, etc.). The subscriber can then provide appropriate instructions for handling the call, such as having the switch play a message, routing the call to a voice messaging platform, suspending or terminating the data connection and completing the incoming call, etc. Thus, unnecessary rerouting of the incoming call is avoided, call completion signaling integrity is simplified and maintained, and voice network trunk requirements are minimized.
As described, the invention provides for multiple use of a telephone line to accommodate, for example, voice telephone service support of both conventional, relatively short duration voice calls and lengthier data communication connectivity such as for accessing the Internet. While the former use typically uses a conventional telephone, the later requires a data terminal such as a personal computer (PC). Typically, a PC runs application software referred to as a 'browser' to obtain and interact with various web pages of information from a network such as the Internet. Several vendors also offer a dedicated terminal device for providing Internet access using a conventional television set. While viewing pages using either type of terminal, the user can enter requests by clicking on links in the form of hyper-text or icons or can send typed inputs to a server. In this mode of operation, the terminal is acting as a "client" of the server supplying the requested information.
In the example depicted in
Each end office type central office switch 11E provides switched telephone connections to and from local communication lines or other subscriber links coupled to end users stations or telephone sets 1. The typical telephone network also includes one or more tandem switching offices such as offices 11T, providing trunk connections between end offices and/or between other tandem offices. Other trunks TR might directly connect end offices 11E. Some offices may serve as both end offices and tandem offices for providing different call connections. As such, the traffic network consists of local communication links and a series of switching office type nodes interconnected by voice grade trunks TR.
Although shown as telephones in
The lines originating at and trunks originating/terminating and passing through the central offices 11 carry the communication traffic of the telephone network, including voice traffic and other "in-band" payload such as Internet access traffic. A common channel interoffice signaling (CCIS) network carries a variety of signaling messages relating to control of processing of various calls through the traffic portion of the network. The CCIS network includes packet data links (shown as dotted lines) connected to appropriately equipped central office switching systems such as Service Switching Points (SSP) 11 switches via a plurality Signaling Transfer Points (STP) 15 packet switches. To provide redundancy and thus a high degree of reliability, STPs 15 typically are implemented as mated pairs of STPs. The STP of each pair are interconnected with each other and with other pairs of STP on the CCIS network. The CCIS network of the telephone system operates in accord with an accepted signaling protocol standard, preferably Signaling System 7 (SS7).
As shown in
At least some, and preferably all, of the central office switches 11 are programmed to recognize identified events or points in call (PICs) as advanced intelligent network (AIN) type service triggers. In response to a PIC or trigger, a central office 11 initiates a query through the CCIS signaling network to a control node, such as one of the Service Control Points (SCPs) 19. An SCP 19 provides instructions relating to AIN type services in response to such queries. The signaling message communications between the central office switching systems utilize messages conforming to the Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) of the SS7 protocol. Those central office switching systems having full AIN trigger and TCAP query and response processing capabilities, for communication with the SCP, are referred to as Service Switching Points (SSPs).
A typical telephone network serving a large number of customers over a wide geographic area utilizes a number of SCPs 19, two of which appear in
The central office switches 11 typically consist of programmable digital switches with CCIS communications capabilities. One example of such a switch is a 5ESS type switch manufactured by Lucent Technologies; but other vendors, such as Northern Telecom and Siemens, manufacture comparable digital switches which could serve as the SSPs and SPs. The SSP type implementation of such switches differs from the SP type implementation of such switches in that the SSP switch includes additional software to recognize the full set of AIN triggers and launch appropriate queries.
The above described data signaling network between the SSP type central offices 11 and an SCP 19 is preferred, but other signaling networks could be used. For example, instead of the packet switched type links through one or more STP's, a number of central office switches 11, one of the SCPs 19 as well as other signaling nodes in a region could be linked for data communication by a token ring network. Also, the SSP capability may not always be available at the local office level, and several other implementations might be used to provide the requisite SSP capability. For example, none of the end office switches 11E may have SSP functionality. Instead, each end office would connect through a trunk to a tandem office 11T which has the SSP capability. The SSP tandem 11T then communicates with the SCP via an SS7 type CCIS link, as in the implementation described above. The SSP capable tandem switches are digital switches, such as the 5ESS switch from Lucent Technologies; and the non-SSP type end offices might be 1A analog type switches.
The telephone network can also includes one or more intelligent peripherals (IPs) 23 to provide enhanced announcement and digit collection capabilities and preferably speech recognition. The IP 23 is essentially similar to that disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,572,583 to Wheeler, Jr. et al. entitled "Advanced Intelligent Network with Intelligent Peripherals Interfaced to the Integrated Services Control Point," and the disclosure of the network and operation of the IP from that Pat. is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Each IP 23 may connect to one or more of the central offices 11. The connections transport both communication traffic and signaling. The connection between a central office 11 and the IP 23 may use a combination of a T1 and a Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) link, but preferably this connection utilizes a primary rate interface (PRI) type ISDN link. Each such connection between a CO 11 and an IP 23 provides digital transport for a number of two-way voice grade type telephone communications and a channel transporting signaling data messages in both directions between the switch 11 and the IP 23.
There are certain circumstances in which the SCP 19 communicates with the IP 23. These communications could utilize an 1129 protocol and go through an SSP type central office 11 and the SS7 network. However, in the embodiment of
On a normal call, an end office type switch 11E detects an off-hook condition on the line and provides dial tone. The switch identifies the line by its Office Equipment (OE) number. The office also retrieves profile information corresponding to the OE number and off-hook line. If needed, the profile identifies the currently assigned telephone number. The switch in the end office receives dialed digits and routes the call. The switch may route the call to another line serviced by that switch, or the switch may route the call over trunks and possibly through one or more tandem offices to an office that serves the called party's station or line. The switch terminating a call to a destination will also utilize profile information relating to the destination, for example to forward the call if appropriate, to apply distinctive ringing, etc.
AIN call processing involves a query and response procedure between an SSP capable switching office 11 and a database system, such as an SCP 19. The SSP capable switching offices initiate such processing upon detection of triggering events. At some point during processing of a telephone call, a central office switching system 11 will recognize an event in call processing as a 'Point in Call' (PIC) which triggers a query, for example to the SCP 19. Ultimately, the SCP 19 will return an instruction to the switching system 11 to continue call processing. This type of AIN call processing can utilize a variety of different types of triggers to cause the SSPs 11 to initiate the query and response signaling procedures with the SCP 19. For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the SSP serving the called party may implement a trigger on busy or terminating attempt trigger.
In operation, any given subscriber's telephone services therefore may be controlled by data residing in one or more of the central office switching systems 11, in one or more of the SCPs 19 or in one or more of the IPs 23. In a network such as shown in
The telephone network operating company or carrier(s) utilize various network management systems 24. The 'management' of services includes control functions as well as monitoring and usage accounting functions. The management systems 24 include provisioning systems to establish, update and maintain the profiles and other control data in the central offices 11, the SCPs 19 and the IPs 23. The management systems 24 also include usage data processing systems for accumulating usage statistics and for processing usage data to create billing records.
In addition to SCPs, Intelligent SCPs (ISCPs) can be used for added functionality. Call processing records (CPRs) in the Multi-Services Application Platform (MSAP) database within each SCP are created and management by a terminal system referred to as a service creation environment (SCE) and a service management system (SMS). Profile data may be loaded into memory in the switches by an automated system, such as Memory Administration Recent Change System or 'MARCH'. MARCH qualifies the data, and if the data meets the relevant qualification criteria, MARCH transmits the data to the appropriate central office switch 11 for entry into memory. The management systems 24 may also include a variety of data accumulation systems, such as a data distributor coupled to an SCP and a computer system serving in a revenue accounting office, for preparing usage statistics and/or calculating bills.
System 200 of
As described, when a user accesses the Internet 235 using their computer 230 with the ICM service according, the connection to the Internet includes ICM application server 245. When a user subscribes to the ICM service an appropriate trigger such as a Terminating Attempt Trigger (TAT) (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,825,862, incorporated herein in its entirety) or T-busy trigger is provisioned on their line. A call processing record is also established at the ISCP 220 on the subscriber's telephone number. This can be accomplished through the use of the Advanced Provisioning System (APS) which resides on the MSP. Additionally, the subscriber would access the appropriate software through a web site and download that information to their computer 230. At this point a customer profile for the subscriber is established on the ICM application server 245.
Once a subscriber's computer 230 has the required browser and ICM support software and the user has subscribed to ICM, ICM services are enabled during Internet access times. One embodiment of the ICM, includes software within the ICM application server 245 which recognizes when a subscriber computer 230 accesses the Internet 235. Once the ICM application server 245 recognizes that an Internet session has been established, the ICM application server 245 initiates a call to the subscriber's telephone number so that a flag is set in the ISCP indicating that the user has accessed the Internet. While the subscriber is accessing the Internet through the use of his computer 230, if a caller 260 initiates a call to the subscriber, the subscriber's TAT trigger 265 is encountered. The combination of the incoming calls encountered with the TAT trigger 265 and the flag which was set from the telephone call initiated by the ICM application server 245 determines whether the incoming call should be transferred or whether it should remain at the receiving SSP. Thus, if the subscriber's line is busy with another conventional voice call, the incoming call is processed normally at the subscriber's SSP. This processing may include transmission of a busy signal, provision of ring-back associated with call waiting services, call forwarding to a voice messaging platform, etc. Alternatively, if ICM application server 245 detects that the subscriber's line is being used to connect with the Internet, a TAT or similar trigger initiates alternative processing. According to one aspect of the invention, as will be described, call processing is temporarily suspended at the receiving switch until routing instructions from the subscriber are solicited, received, and processed. Alternatively, the TAT may prompt rerouting of the call to an intelligent peripheral (IP) for ICM processing.
Referring to
FIG. 6's call processing flow diagram illustrates processing when the subscriber is currently accessing the Internet and the subscriber selects the "notify the caller" option. Caller 260 initiates a call at 605 to the subscriber's telephone number via SSP 210. At SSP 212 the TAT trigger is encountered on the called subscriber's line. The SSP 212 launches a query for further instruction at 615. The ISCP finds the subscriber's CPR and checks the service status which is "on" since the subscriber's computer 230 is known to be connected to the Internet. As previously described in connection with steps 515 through 530 of
A second embodiment of the present invention retains the incoming call at the called party's SSP. The called party's SSP will then send a message to the STP. The STP then coordinates with the ISCP and the LIDB to determine the calling party's information, whether the called party is connected to the Internet, and the final disposition of the incoming call. In this embodiment, the ICM application server (245 of
Additional enhancements to the current invention are available. One additional improvement is that the called party can send an e-mail message out to the calling party and respond to the incoming call. A second enhancement is the use of a local database to look up additional information pertaining to the incoming call or the party making the incoming call. For instance, if the called party has been researching a specific matter for the calling party, the pop-up menu on the called party's computer screen can display the calling party's number, the calling party's name and specific information from the local database pertaining to the calling party for instance, the status of the research project. A third enhancement is to provide for call completion of the incoming call using a voice-over-IP (VoIP) connection over the Internet.
It will be readily seen by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention fulfills all of the objects set forth above. After reading the foregoing specification, one of ordinary skill will be able to effect various changes, substitutions of equivalents and various other aspects of the invention as broadly disclosed herein. For example, although the application refers to use of an ISCP, generic SCP functionality is adequate to support the functionality of the invention. Further, other processing structures may be used, such as an Intelligent STP, etc., to support network functionality required to implement the invention in a switched network environment. It is therefore intended that the protection granted hereon be limited only by the definition contained in the appended claims and equivalents thereof.

Hi Harold,
Joe would be the one to answer your question. I have no affiliation with
MTL other than being a dealer. I do talk to Joe on occasion, and wouldn't I
like to be able to read his mind.........you bet !!
But since I can't, and mashing his thumbs in a pair of vise grips didn't
seem to phase Joe, I'm not able to garner much more information than the
rest of us. Maybe if we took turns mashing on his thumbs, then he might let
out a squeak or something more along the line of "what's coming out soon?"
Speaking of Joe,.......since he and I are in the formative stages of
beginning a modular group here in Medford, we would both entertain and
accept any applications for new members who want to join what is sure to
become the best Z modular group in all of Southern Oregon, (won't this be
the only group?). You can be short, tall, skinny, fat, cute, ugly, or any
of those other type human traits, however the only criteria is that you want
to play with Z all day long. Never mind the fact that the house needs
painting, and the grass needs mowing !! Keep the dog-----sell the kids.
Looking for Zeesters,
-Z- WARNING! HANDLE WITH CARE! Highly addictive in Small DoseZ!

How right you are Randy,
I think it is a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is
doing. I'll bet that each department has a moat, filled with alligators
protecting their domain. Joe is too busy, literally, to know what anyone
else is doing at MTL. Not that he doesn't know, but I've seen his
office,........he's a very busy boy!

Beautiful Bamboo

This duvet cover has the feel of silk and is the perfect mate to my silk duvet. Would love another and hope there can be more of a colour selection in the future.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tech News on G4
'Pokemon' evolves
Nov 1, 2013
By John Powell - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- John Powell column archive
Over the last few years Pokemon fans have been a lucky bunch. With each edition new improvements have enhanced the quality of this timeless series. It is then no surprise to fans the latest - 'Pokemon X' and 'Pokemon Y' - represents the most wide-ranging changes yet. Everything from the graphics to the gameplay itself have been completely improved and expanded.
Looking back at crude black and white images and animations of 'Red' and 'Green' on the Game Boy, it is astonishing to think of how far Pokemon has come. Both 'Pokemon Black and White' and their sequels 'Pokémon Black 2 and White 2' dipped into 3-D graphics but thanks to Nintendo and Game Freak 'X' and 'Y' are most striking Poke games ever published but are also two of the best looking 3D games to date. The first ever outing on the 3DS really does rival its Wii console cousin: 'Pokemon Revolution'. The elaborate cut-scenes with their sweeping cameras angles, the flamboyant animation and even the Pokedex itself with its up-to-date look all breathe new life into the experience.
The battle animations feature some ferociously animated attacks and the charming character models flinch and rock with every Fury Swipe and every Psybeam. My personal favourite though has to be Pancham, the perpetually pissed off panda Pokemon who looks like he just sucked on a rotten piece of bamboo. Whether intentional or not, he just makes me chuckle every time his grouchy puss appears.
The Kalos Region, although smaller and more compact than some of the others players have visited, is full of life. Parfum Palace and the Tower of Mastery with their grandiose, imposing architecture, the lush forests and plains speckled with wildflowers and the inviting coastal towns will make you soon forget you are playing a Pokemon game.
For the first time ever, you as a trainer also get some Poke love too. You can visit special boutiques, store to customize your look, race around in roller skates instead of a bike and have the chance to ride a Rhyhorn and a Mamoswine. Using the new Pokemon-Amie feature, you can put your individual Pokemon through their paces developing the certain key attributes you feel are the most important and thus finally have some impact on their stats.
'Pokemon X' and 'Pokemon Y' introduces the new Fairy type Pokemon and in doing so have shifted Jigglypuff, Marill, Gardevoir and Mawile to the Fairy category. When battling, Fairy Pokemon are strong against Fighting, Dragon and Dark but weak against Fire, Poison and Steel.
Even before 'X' and 'Y" were released fans were pumped about the Mega Evolution option. While it is fun to watch, it is not all it is cracked up to be. Firstly, the applicable Pokemon must be holding the right Mega Stone and you must have the Mega Ring. Secondly, Mega Evolution can only occur in battle and to only one Pokemon per battle. The physical changes and the super charged powers that come with the Evolution disappear when the battle is over. All in all, Mega Evolution is a cool hook, however, it doesn't really add anything substantive to the game.
One other slightly weak point is the campaign storyline. There isn't a whole lot to puzzling out what the evil Team Flare is up to. The sub-plots or challenges are actually more involved. Sure, the Pokemon series has never been known for its plotlines but when compared to the recent offerings, the 'X' and 'Y" story is about as effective as a Magikarp.
With all of its updates and features, 'X' and 'Y' is not only a must-have for any fan, they will surely draw in new fans who have just discovered the incredibly imaginative world of Pokemon; a series that has stood the test of time because in Poke terms, the franchise has been evolving from a Charmander to a Charizard at a solid and steady pace.
Pokemon X

The Carnival parade in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, Spain wins because it had a light-up Millennium Falcon. The Jedi Knights of New Hope swooped through the streets with a giant spaceship float that blasts the Star Wars theme. The Falcon moves from side to side and looks like it's gliding through space. Stormtroopers precede the ship in the procession, and it looks like they're more concerned with dancing than guarding the Falcon.

somewhat effective ad from stacey stout
the ad is for stacey stout against peter fisher. the republican party of minnesota paid for the ad. there was negativity on the imagery and text of the ad.
overall it was effective on making peter look unconfident. it was somewhat convincing because of the text saying "thanks to peter fisher, our children are falling behind." This text might convince a parent about their children's education. However, the overall attack ad wasn't too convincing because they didn't really provide hard concrete facts. the republicans didn't say exactly what standards were lowered.
this ad is dishonest and misleading. H.F. No. 2397 is the law the ad is citing. Yes, the law lowers standards but they don't know for sure how they are expected to be. This is stretching the truth of the law. The ad just makes quick assumptions. they're saying that our children are falling behind for sure because of him. They are just saying this but this isn't shown for a fact. Overall the ad is trying to scare parents. This is misleading because they need to say facts not opinions and emotion.

Entry 11 -- Suffering with Slackers
I did not get to be in the first group to go to the board. Neither did little Atalay from Honors English. Joshua and Lenny both got to go and acquitted themselves honorably. Koli from Myrtle Hollow also did an excellent job. She's not just La Reine de la classe Franciase.
The problem was Tai didn't go to the board. He is a shy kid. He spends too much time dying his hair weird colors, and I can say that because I grew my hair out starting in sixth grade. Aunt Aliza was fine with it as long as I keep it clean and neat. She even showed me how to make a towel turban to dry it and bought me barettes and scrunchies to keep it out of my face.
Yeah, Tai could at least try. I used to be scaird of going to the board. I still am but my name would be shit if I didn't go. I'm not going to let Lenny beat me even though he often can or Joshua Goldfarb. Everyone thinks Josh is the smartest kid because his parents are rich and his dad is a surgeon at the local hospital. Joshua is smart. Please don't get me wrong, but he's not the smartest every day in every way in every subject. Each trip to the board and each class is a new thing. Each time I've got a chance.
Then finally it was time for the second group of kids to hit the board and answer problems. We're not on proofs yet, and that is when I see we've got holes. Four or five kids are refusing to go. They are mostly girls. They are shy quiet girls, not power houses like the little runt from Honors English or Queen Koli from Myrtle Hollow. I do the math, if you'll pardon the pun. One quarter of the class is doing nothing.
This is bad. If you've forgotten why it's bad, let me refresh your memory. Slackers are angry and resentful if you put them to work. They may whine. They may try to derail the class and that sucks for those of us who want to learn.
If the teacher does nothing about the slackers though it just serves injustice. We see the slackers there probably earning half way decent grades while we risk failure and work hard and go up to the board in the case of geometry.
You can see why slackers suck and worse yet, it looked as if our geometry teacher was going to tolerate them. That's when the secretary from the principal's office arrived and handed me the message from my mother. Apparently, someone had objected to the fact that I take Stasch to school on my bike's handlebars. Stasch's bike has a wobbly seat and is probably a lot less safe than my handlebars, but grownups don't always think straight.
Mom was coming to get Stasch, and I had to fix Stasch' bike. Well, that was great. I had real homework to do. I wanted to spend time looking at a real economics book and besides I was supposed to go find Ms. Garcia and talk to her after school.
I explained my situation to Josh as we walked to the cafeteria. I was going to double back and hit the library and hope and pray I did not encounter any teacher's aide who'd send me back because I didn't have a pass. Like you know what, the economics teacher would right me a pass after my performance with Atalaya this morning.
"I'll talk to Ms. Garcia," he answered. "Hey," he added. "What would you think if we founded a French Honor Society. My mom said she was in one in high school. I would look real good on our transcripts for college."
"If you mean a French club," I said; for I could not see who would be giving us honors (We were lucky to have French 2 in the computer room.) "I'm all for it."
"Great," answered Joshua who clearly had ideas of his own. Meanwhile, I needed to find an economics textbook wtih real algebra in it.

The world has seen (and experienced!) enough of the culture of strong fisted men and nations, who are insecure in who they are or in the values of peace and justice that made nations great.
Martin Luther King Jnr said,
"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."(Strength to Love)
What we see yesterday is the possibility of a sense of security in values that bind us all together. Of course, the challenges are great and Pres Obama's speech eloquently articulated it. He was not on the campaign trail anymore, and indeed, no catchy slogans or emotions will save the day. This is the time for hard-nosed analysis and even harder decisions. I think it was the same Martin Luther King Jnr, who struggled and died to see this day, who at some point said that this struggle needs leaders who are hard-nosed and soft-hearted. May Pres Obama be blessed with this in his vocation, but also, may he be surrounded by a cloud of witnesses and critics who will not fail to ask the difficult questions and remind him of the small people, which look up to heaven and pray, "give us today our daily bread". He is, and will not be, the black Messiah of the world and yes, I am often uncomfortable at his unqualified confidence in the American dream. Yet, he has political and economic power, but more so, symbolic power to affect changes, which will impact changes in other parts of the world. Let's do him a favor by remaining vigilant with the eyes focused on the ultimate prize of a world where "justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."

Yesterday I had 3 moles removed by shave biopsy - 2 on my back, one on my chest. Is there anything I can do to help minimise the scar? Do you generally find that a shave biopsy gives a good cosmetic outcome? If not - would fractional laser work? Thank you!
Shave Biopsy?
Doctor Answers 6
Mole removal and decreasing scar.
Shave excisions remove the upper most layer of skin and the chance of scar is minimal. However, some people genetically make thicker scars or keloids. Moles removed from the mid chest and back to the neck have an increase risk of scarring due to location and constant movement. I like the use of petroleum jelly as the surface heals. The use of tegaderm patches applied for approximately 3 months as the area remodels is shown to be beneficial at reducing the appearance of scar.
Remember that it may take 6 months to a year for a wound to heal on the torso. I wouldn't recommend any aggressive treatments such as a laser to remove moles. Pigmented lesions should be biopsied, and lasers would only burn them possibly causing increase risk of scar.
I hope this helps!
Mole removal
After a shave biopsy, it is important to keep the area clean and to emolliate it. It is also very important to keep the area out of the sun as it heals. If done well, a shave biopsy can result in a good cosmetic outcome.
Mole Removal and Good Cosmetic Result
Shave biopsy/removal of a mole is an excellent technique and when done correctly, can yield excellent cosmetic results. As the sites are healing, I would emolliate them with something bland and greasy like Aquaphor. I would also protect them from the sun if they are being exposed to the sun. If they start to look like they are going to thicken up, follow up with your doctor who can do intralesional cortisone injections. You may also want to try a silicone based scar gel with sunscreen.

Minimizing scars after a shave biopsy
After a shave excision of a mole, I advise my patients to keep the area clean by gently washing twice daily with soap and water and then applying either plain petroleum jelly or Aquaphor Healing Ointment until the area has healed. Band aids are optional after the first day. Shave biopsies are actually a great way to remove moles, especially on the back and chest. With this method, the mole is actually "shaved off" at a very superficial level just below the surface of the skin. This method is quite effective to remove moles and leaves a minimal scar.

Shave Biopsy?
Thank you for your question. I would apply Neosporin, if not allergic too, or aquaphor to the area. In 2 weeks, you can start using Mederma or Scarguard to help minimize the scar. I would avoid sun exposure to the area and apply daily SPF 30 with zinc. I would recommend waiting for 6 weeks to heal completely and reassess the area for laser treatment. I hope this helps.

OK, so this question may be kinda stupid. My ex called me two hours ago and since we haven't talked in a couple of months, we had a lot to catch up and talked for two hours. I don't know what it was, her voice or whatever, but i felt those butterflies in my stomach. It wasn't a strong feeling, but it was something. That confused me since i actually never think of her anymore. I like another girl which also likes me back and we are some kind of friends with benefits because we only get to see each other on weekends. Still, we are thinking about being girlfriend/boyfriend one day. We're just taking things slow.
So, do you also get that kind of feeling when talking to an ex of yours, even though you like someone else? I'm really curious about this one. Is it normal, or is it possible that I still have feelings for her?
Most Helpful Girl
nope. dont miss em.
i do enjoy talking to one more tho00|00|0
I don't actually miss her at all, that's what's weird. I just felt small butterflies when she talked, and then after hanging up it was gone. Guess It's just my mind playing tricks on me xD

Moaz al-Khatib was elected as president of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces in November 2012 but resigned from the post just four months later. He was imprisoned several times for raising his voice against President Bashar –al Assad's regime before he fled to Cairo.
It was an important moment for the Syrian rebel forces when they joined the 22-member Arab League summit in Qatar on Tuesday. According to al-Khatib, "It is part of the restoration of legitimacy that the people of Syria have long been robbed of."
The former president of the National Coalition gave a moving speech that highlighted many issues regarding the Syrian conflict including how the National Coalition did not want bloodshed and war. He said that the government pushed the matter to an extent that it turned into an armed conflict:
"We despise war and armed fighting and we started a peaceful revolution that was pushed by the regime with its recklessness and monstrous ways towards weapons, ruin, and destruction"
Khatib also mentioned in his address that he asked US Secretary of State John Kerry for help:
"I asked Kerry to extend the coverage of rockets to the north of Syria. He promised to study this request and we are still waiting for a decision from NATO to protect the innocent and save people's lives, returning refugees to their country. Not to fight, but to protect people so they can return to their normal lives."

The recent use of chemical weapons in the war was also pointed out:
"I say that this issue must be determined by an inclusive national conference and that it may occur in my opinion through a regional deal that would prohibit both nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. The opposition will not sell its country, o brothers and governments of the world."
He also highlighted one of the most important and neglected facts about the Syrian civil war; the fate of the war-stricken children and extremism:
"They also ask, 'Who will rule Syria (after Assad)?' Syria's people will determine that, not any other nation in the world. The Syrian people will decide and will judge how they will govern. The children of Syria will understand each other and live together. And this statement will gather them: God said, "There is no compulsion in religion." (Quran 2:256) But the idea of extremism, it's a result of oppression and corruption. We have to address the root causes, and not only blame those who cannot tolerate the killing every day."

At the end of his speech, Moaz al-Khatib thanked the countries who had donated aid including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraqi Kurdistan. His speech was received well by everyone present at the summit and everyone is appreciating the fact that al-Khatib is determined to work for the oppressed Syrian people even after his resignation.

I am a 22 year old IT Project Manager working for a top fortune 50 company in Melbourne, Australia. It has been a long road to get to that point at such a young age but all I can say is my hard work has prevailed.
I have just been through what I would consider some of the toughest months of my life from Dec 06 - Mar 07. One act of stupidity cost me the majority of what I valued in my life. I drunk drove, blew 0.15 after crashing heavily into the concrete barrier on the Monash Freeway. I had my license immediately suspended and still six months later I am waiting to hear back from the court to find out how long I have lost it for. This also wrote my car off putting me $7000 out of pocket. 5 days later I got fired from my job because they wrongly believed that to be effective in my job I needed a license. 1 stupid decision that I can not remember making turned my life upside down.
From that moment on I spent the next 3 months desperately looking for work dealing with pretentious recruiters who had no idea how to look for IT staff yet thought they knew everything. Somehow I managed to get passed this people on many occasions to the clients interviewer where 9/10 the problem was either that I was too young or too inexperienced to do the jobs even though they involved half the amount of work that I was doing in my previous job, or they had issue with the fact that I got fired from my last job because I lost my license.
Finally I found interviewer that looked past the fact that I was young and did not have a license. They gave me the chance to perform which I have. I have already taken on more projects above and beyond what I was hired to do.
That horrible chapter was finally closed.
Prior to all this drama I was an IT manager at Kings Transport where I personally ran the entire IT systems for 300 users. I had 4 staff under me and I ran the majority of the IT projects within the company, doing everything from website designs, software development and building moves. It was the most intense 18 months of my life and even with a sour ending I am very greatful that it happened.
I started at Kings in the June of 2005 as a System Administrator, and through what was a series of good fortune for myself everyone above me kept leaving the company which basically meant that I got promoted very quickly. I was often working 60 hour weeks as IT manager which basically meant that I got burnt out very quickly.
Before I worked at Kings I was a manager at KFC in Rowville. I started there when I was 15 and worked my way up through the ranks until I was a manager. I spent a total of 6 years there from 1999 to 2005. While for the majority of the time I was a manager I really did not enjoy the job, it was a great learning experience that taught me heaps. I continue to draw on my experience from this time and would recommend working at fast food outlets to all teenagers.
My social life at the moment I must admit is pretty boring, I love to go out and drink lots and dance at clubs however many of my friends work right through the weekend so often if I really want to go out I need to go by myself. It makes life hard going by yourself but I do always manage to have a really good time out.
