About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I remade the bodice + collar twice because adjusting this pattern for gigantic me was hard! I used Zan's pattern as a base for the bodice & coordinated with Sparklepipsi for skirt & bows~ The shiny brooch was made by Daydreamernessa. The boots were first painted with Angelus Leather Paint but that wasn't showing up too well so I added 2 coats of Tulip fabric paint which gave amazing coverage!
- Personal Thoughts:
- The very first costume I ever made myself was Sailor Jupiter for halloween in high school. Making this now for the re-release is my cosplay coming full circle! Green is still my least favorite color. I was lucky enough to be able to help out at the Viz booth in this promoting Sailor Moon at Anime Expo!

When this interracial vid opens on sexy Indian strumpet Taiha, she looks quite demure in her full length gown - but when she pulls one flap open to reveal the curve of her generous boobies, you know this is gonna be a good fuck! Her grey haired elderly stud for the day goes down on her, gifting her with his years of pussy licking experience, and she returns the favor, enjoying the salty flavor of his cock and balls. He fucks her with an energy that belies his years, pounding her from both front and back, and she rides his fat prick as well until it"s time to kneel down and take a chestful of his virile load.
19 year old Asha Kumara just returned from one of the malls in Goa, India and wants to show you what she bought. Asha tries on her different cute outfits, raising the dresses above her waist and above her luscious full titties. Asha loves going braless, that way her perfect C Cup boobies can bounce up and down as she walks. See all of Asha's candid videos and self shot photos on her website!Click here to see much more!
This is what real Indian sex tourism looks like! A European stud hires himself an extremely young and tender looking hottie called Sharmila for the afternoon. It would be a bargain at twice the price - this girl is so young she is almost a virgin! However, she shows real experience in her work as she teases her man and then takes his cock in her hands and her mouth for some excellent warmup pleasure. However, the real litmus test of her ability as a whore is how well she takes the fucking. Her man is extremely well hung and she yelps a little, requiring a bit of pushing and shoving to take the whole cock inside her extremely tight hole.
This episode breaks with tradition a little, with Asian hottie Lyla Loi dressed up in a sari and bindi and pretending to be Indian. What"s the matter mans, run out of Indian models in SoCal? No matter, she"s still fucking hot no matter what nationality she"s meant to be. The dudes strip her out of her ridiculous get up so she can show off her gorgeous body, then they get to work on her with their peniss. One stud sticks his penis in her mouth while the other inserts away at her tight muck hole - she loves it and begs for more, so they switch around multiple times so they can keep hammering her juicy beaver non stop until they spray her with spunk.
Joe Cool loves going to exotic places, and one of those places happens to be India today. He"s in a small Indian town looking for a place to stay for the night when he comes across a very pretty whore that has no one staying with her. No husband, no one else to bother him. It"s Joe"s lucky day, and it"s Prema"s too. She"s finally going to get a man to bang her for once. She hasn"t had a dude since her husband left her, saying she was bad luck. Now she"s got a white guy to give her all the dickhead she could ever desire.
Indian-American porn babe Destiny Deville gets her first taste of black cock in this rough interracial clip. Hung black stud LT is a gentleman at first, graciously going down on the Indian slapper as she pushes his tongue deeper into her snatch. She sucks his massive prick - it barely fits in her mouth - and then he goes to town on her pussy. He fucks her gently at first, but gets rough and rougher, pushing her off the edge of the bed and then choke fucking roughly while he hammers her from behind. He leaves her gasping on the bed as he sprays a huge load of white cum on her smooth brown breasts.
Asha Kumara is feeling sensual today, relaxing in her pink bra and panty set. Asha's been waiting in anticipation for you to arrive and wanted to were something special for you. Pulling down her panties Asha shows her tiny land strip that leads to her cute Desi treasure! Inside Asha's members area is the matching movie, completely with her touching her delicious Indian teen pussy!Click here to see much more!
Big dick porn studs John Janeiro and Jason Aneti are sitting around, waiting for their latest hottie to turn up. She walks in the door and wow - she"s an amazing! Her name is Rama and she is an Indian BBW from heaven. Her skin is the perfect shade of brown and she has nice natural breasts with hard nipples. She has plenty of meat on her bones and a curvaceous beauty reminiscent of an L.A. porn girl. It"s not long before she"s naked on the couch with a dick in her mouth and another in her pussy. Then the guys take turns hammering her hairy cunt one by one, ejaculating onto her thick pubic hair. You will really enjoy this hot clip!

Try updating your loader or reformatting your SD card to be FAT32 with 32kb Clusters (GC games won't play on anything but FAT32 w/32kb cluster devices)
I recently just fixed up my old wii mod with ModMii, and now I can properly install the wad for Dios Mios Lite when I wasn't able to before.
Now that i'm able to run it though, it doesn't seem to be working for me. I navigate to the folder, select my game (Kirby Air Ride) and then it starts loading it. It gets to a screen with "Dios Mios Lite" and a gamecube logo, and then gives me a message saying "fatal error: apploader size is zero!" How can i fix this? I did do some googling before posting, but most of the posts about this error said it was fixed by going from version 2.0 to 2.2. My DML version is 2.2 already, however. My iso seems to be fine, it runs properly in Dolphin and all.
Try updating your loader or reformatting your SD card to be FAT32 with 32kb Clusters (GC games won't play on anything but FAT32 w/32kb cluster devices)
Oh, I think my SD is FAT32 with 64kb Clusters. I'll reformat it to 32kb and see if it works.
I reformatted and tried again. Strangely enough, if I have a Wii game in the disk drive it gives me fatal error, but if I have a GC disc in, it just boots the disk i have in the Wii and not the game i selected?!
Please use the edit button

Don't put a disc in the drive, it is unnecessary. When you installed Dios Mios Lite which IOS did you use for installing?
Also are you launching your USB loader from the HBC or from a forwarder channel
Also, which USB Loader are you using?
Last edited by SNES_Master; 03-28-2013 at 06:55 PM.
I'm not sure if it's changed, but DML recommends SD card to be 64k cluster formatted. It was only USBs on DM that requires 32k clusters.
Usually the "fatal error ... zero" message is due to you running with an old loader. Which loader and version are you trying to use on this.
The recommended loaders are in my signature.
Click Below for recommended Links
Download the latest:
I believe I used IOS 249 when installing DML.
I'm launching my loader from the HBC and the loader is NeoGamma (R9 beta 56)
I had a disc in the drive because the guide I was using said the Wii would restart if there was no disk in.
What loader would be best for me to try in this situation?
I used this guide to install DML: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...ite-guide.html
You're using an old guide. NeoGamma hasn't supported DML in over a year. If you have DML 2.2 or above, you should be using one of the three loaders in my signature (GX r1209, CFG v70r51, or WiiFlow 4.1).
Early DML required a disk be in the drive to work, but that is no longer a requirement.
Click Below for recommended Links
Download the latest:
Oh, ok. Which loader is recommended? I was considering using WiiFlow.
That's a personal preference. You ask three different people, you'll get three different answers.
Try once, see if you can get DML to work, once you do, all should work, then you can choose for yourself which you like the best.
CFG is my loader of choice.
Click Below for recommended Links
Download the latest:
I recommend USB Loader GX (it's up to r1211 now) but it depends on personal preference. So try them all and see which one you like best

Long plagued by racial issues and declining enrollment, Westchester High School was heading for a cliff two years ago when a young, ambitious principal was tapped to craft a plan that amounted to a Hail Mary.
Bobby Canosa-Carr's idea to convert the school into a full science magnet drew fierce criticism from some neighbors and parents, who feared his vision would close the door to locals and compromise the school's diversity.
One year into the school's new incarnation, Carr appears to have stopped the death spiral. But some critics are far from sold, and some neighborhood parents are still feeling disenfranchised.
Enrollment – which had plunged to 1,280 from a peak of 3,000 – has bumped back up to nearly 1,450. Passage rates of the high school exit exam have risen. Perhaps most significantly, the school's attendance rate has gone from one of the worst among the 100 high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District to No. 1.
"There's a completely different feeling in the air," Carr said, adding that the school's test scores showed marked improvement, according to data released Friday by the state.
Located in an affluent, mostly white neighborhood, Westchester High was a guinea pig of the desegregation experiments of the early 1970s. To break up racial homogeneity, LAUSD began busing black students from Crenshaw High School to the school. The white population reacted by leaving in droves.
The school has tried to re-create itself several times over the years to reverse the slide. But nothing seemed to take, and the 35-year-old Carr said that by the time he stepped up to the plate, there were whisperings about the possibility of closing the sprawling campus and selling the prime real estate to the highest bidder.
One of Carr's superiors even told him he could very well be Westchester High's last principal.
Now officially known as the Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets, the school takes a hands-on approach to preparing kids for white-collar professions. It consists of three separate tracks, which are officially separate magnet schools: aviation and aerospace; environmental science; and health and sports medicine.
As a result of the reconfiguration, the school replaced 40 percent of its teachers. Much of the new faculty consists of professionals who have worked in the given field of study. For instance, the school's athletic-training teacher in the health-and-sports-medicine magnet also works as the head trainer for the Los Angeles Sparks, a WNBA team.
Meanwhile, the critics' biggest fears have not come to pass. Rather than closing the door to locals, the school guarantees space for families in the neighborhood. (Area students also now have the option to attend Venice High School.)
Carr says about half of the students hail from the school's attendance area – a proportion that has remained unchanged from prior years.
And despite rumblings that the plan was just a back-door way to dilute the school's black majority population, the share of the school's students who are black remains unchanged at 70 percent – the highest in all of LAUSD, according to Carr.
But some of the most vocal critics remain unconvinced. Among them is Kelly Kane, president of the Westchester/Playa Vista Education Foundation.
Kane believes the move to create three magnet schools alienated the Westchester community, and to little benefit.
"I think nothing has changed," she said. "I think it's the same teachers, the same students and the same issues. All of this turmoil and upheaval for nothing."
Kane said the change precludes her from raising money for the school, adding that the foundation previously generated a total of about $1.5 million for Westchester High over an eight-year window.
But social studies teacher Kenneth Tiegs said some lingering criticism is to be expected.
"The critics are always going to be critics," he said, adding that he's glad that an effort to derail the magnet conversion by turning Westchester High into a charter school failed. "Anybody who wants a charter – they're still going to want a charter. That will never be me and you can quote me on that."
Added Carr: "A couple of the critics who wanted to convert this school to a charter just enrolled their kids in the school. … The people saying this was going to be a disaster – their kids go here."
Kane is not among them; her children are still in elementary and middle school. But Lisa Hamor is, and her feelings about the conversion are mixed.
On the one hand, Hamor, a 1981 graduate of the school, appreciates the heightened focus on academics.
"But I feel they have disenfranchised the community in many ways," she said.
For instance, Hamor said many locals aren't thrilled about the school uniform policy requiring students to wear red Polo shirts.
"I'm all for enforcement of the dress code – no more holy jeans and underwear sticking out," he said.
"But my daughter doesn't want to wear a red Polo shirt. What's wrong with a nice white blouse?"
Hamor added that her daughter was also pulled out of a leadership class to fulfill a requirement that she take two science courses.
"They took her out without calling me – without engaging me," she said.
The skeptics last year also included students, such as Nick Davis, a varsity basketball player and the student body vice president.
"The school had changed a few times before this, and I really didn't have a lot of faith in the school," said the senior from Ladera Heights. "I just wanted to take my classes and get out."
But Davis said he's detected a change in the attitude of his fellow students. "They are going in (to class) curious. We've got new teachers who are young and have energy."
The magnet conversion isn't the school's first attempt at reform. The most recent one, embarked on in 2008, involved a deep partnership with Loyola Marymount University. That partnership still exists – LMU provides tutors and opportunities for high school students to land internships.
But the agreement used to give LMU a certain amount of authority over the high school's principal. That part has been scrapped, Carr said.
The new configuration also has a trailblazing aspect. Traditionally, magnet schools are not allowed to prioritize area residents, but the district made an exception for the Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets, in part because attracting neighborhood students back to the campus would help restore racial balance, Carr said. Making an exception required that the district create a new category of magnet, called a residential magnet.
Regarding the three actual magnet programs, aviation and aerospace is the only one among them to have minimum academic requirements for entry, as it is a Gifted and Talented Education program. (It is also the only one that already existed in some form before the transformation.) Students in the program learn to fix airplanes, and take field trips to Los Angeles International Airport, where they shadow professionals of all stripes. A flight-simulation program is on its way.
Students in environmental science take a course that could be thought of as the wood shop of the 21st and 22nd centuries. Under the direction of teacher Joe Sparks – a former general contractor who specialized in sustainable structures – they construct a miniature house in a way that is energy neutral, and then tear it down at the end of the class.
The health-and-sports-medicine magnet is a fitting program for a school long celebrated for its athletics: Westchester High has won six state basketball championships in 15 years.
"If they just go to college and play in college and after their four years of eligibility is up they have no skills, it was all a waste," Carr said. "Our idea is take their interest in athletics and connect it to the human body – we find that athletes are passionate about how the human body works."
Of course, Carr has good reason to be gung-ho about the new configuration: it's his baby. Tiegs' assessment of where they're at is more measured.
"Student buy-in, parent buy-in – all those things were a challenge last year," he said. "We're making huge progress. We're not where we're going to be. But you come back in five years, and you're going to be like `wow.' Maybe even three years."

So I have these leftover herbs...
I have a good bit of fresh thyme & sage leftover from celebrating Thanksgiving last week. So since I really hate to see perfectly good ingredients go to waste, I'm looking a recipe that calls for a lot of either one or both of these herbs. Any ideas? It doesn't matter what course it's for, or what kind of food it is. Just looking for something yummy.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
One of my favorite shoots so far. Making Rei was pretty easy. I didn't have to make the shirt from scratch - I just cut up and altered an old shirt that I had lying around my wardrobe that I was no longer using! After I was done making the shirt, I got the arty xxlittlebirdyxx to help paint the flowery designs on the front. I've recently started to try to get progress pics whenever I make costumes, so the WIP pics for this costume can be found here if anyone is interested: http://silverharmony.deviantart.com/journal/39940945/

At the end of December, Oil & Gas Journal published their oil production figures for calendar year 2003. From 2000 to 2003, world crude oil production has been essentially flat, which is to be expected as we roll over the top of the bell-shaped Hubbert curve. In the revised paperback edition of Hubbert's Peak, the only change required is to add one more dot along the line on page 157.
There was some speculation that the year 2000 might stand as the single largest year of oil production. (Production in 2001 and 2002 was not as large as the year 2000.) However, 2003 squeaked ahead of 2000 by one-half of one percent. The important news is that growth has essentially stopped. Production declines, from most countries, was offset by increases in Russia. However, Matt Simmons has pointed out that the Russians are catching up on maintenance that was deferred during the Communist era. There have been no new field discoveries or major field extensions reported in Russia.
Although it is a bit silly, we can now pick a day to celebrate passing the top of the mathematically smooth Hubbert curve: Nov 24, 2005. It falls right smack dab on top of Thanksgiving Day 2005. It sounds a little sick to observe a gloomy day, but in San Francisco they still observe April 18 as the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake.
The 20 percent reduction of oil and gas reserves by Royal Dutch/Shell on Jan 9 was widely interpreted as an event of major significance. I didn't make a big deal out of the Shell writeoff. Much larger revisions of reserve estimates have happened elsewhere in the past. Further, it takes only a modest change in costs, production per well, and prices to tip a project over the line from profitable to unprofitable. If I had to worry, I would worry that several other large companies might be carrying marginal projects on their books instead of writing them off.
To his credit, Alan Greenspan has been warning about a natural gas supply shortage in North America. None of the presidential candidates want to warn us about blood, sweat, and tears. Each is trying to promise us a better future than the next. It is probably going to require some sort of major crisis before the world oil supply gets on the national agenda.
With the Japanese and US rejections, the Kyoto Accord on carbon dioxide reduction is now dead. I'm claiming to be The New Kyoto. We won't burn as much oil each year because it simply won't come out of the ground.

Budget Battles Loom As FDA Gets Tougher On Food Risks
After a long battle in Congress and decades of discussion, President Obama will sign the food safety bill into law later today. But the Food and Drug Adminstration's biggest challenges still lie ahead.
Now the agency and its advocates have to get a new deficit-hawking Congress to cough up some $1.4 billion over the next five years to make it work.
And it looks like FDA's Hill-connected deputy commissioner Joshua Sharfstein is leaving, as CQ first reported, so that job's probably gonna be even harder.
Broadly, the soon-to-be-law gives FDA the power to inspect more imported foods, force a recall of tainted foods, and require food companies to get plans in place to prevent salmonella and E. coli from getting into their products in the first place.
But these changes don't come cheap. They require more inspectors and more scientists. And around these parts, that requires congressional appropriations.
During a press briefing Monday, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg tried to downplay the concerns over funding.
She said the agency has already committed some funds towards measures like produce safety standards, including worker health and hygiene and water and soil contamination mitigation. (Psst: That effort was in the works long before it looked like the law would actually happen.)
A food safety advocate at the briefing put the issue more bluntly. "The costs of not implementing the law are staggering," said Erik Olson of the Pew Center. The projected health costs of foodborne illness are $152 billion a year.
But that argument doesn't seem to be winning over the new Congress. Georgia Republican Rep. Jack Kingston, the likely incoming chairman of a committee that oversees FDA's budget, told Bloomberg: "There's a high possibility of trimming this whole package back."
How does he really feel? "[I]f not for the wonderful nanny-state politicians, we'd be getting sick after every meal, the system we have is doing a darn good job," Kingston said.
Of course, not everyone gets sick with a foodborne illness. But a lot of us sure do. The CDC estimates that each year 1 in 6 people get sick from something they eat . And 128,000 of them go to the hospital, and 3,000 die.
That's a big reason why Pew's Olson says, "We will be making the case that this is money that is extremely well spent."

Former Oklahoma Congressman Ernest Istook's chief of staff has pleaded guilty to conspiracy in connection with a bribery scandal involving disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
John Albaugh, who worked for Istook from 1993 to 2006, pleaded guilty as part of an agreement with the department's continuing lobbying scandal investigation.
For his crimes, Albaugh faces up to five years in prison, $250,000 in fines and supervised release following completion of his sentence, according to a statement from the department.
According to the Justice Department, Albaugh "corruptly accepted a stream of things of value from one of Abramoff's colleagues, his lobbying firm and their clients, in exchange for agreeing to take and taking official action on their behalf."
The charges against Albaugh state that while working for Istook, Albaugh would regularly meet and communicate with an unnamed lobbyist working for Abramoff, accepting gifts in excess of the amounts allowed by federal law and enact legislation on the behalf of clients represented by Abramoff's firm.
In one exchange, Albaugh wrote e-mails detailing how much he was able to garner for Abramoff's clients, the charges state. The client had work involving a transportation bill Istook was shepherding through Congress.
"On or about November 12, 2003, in response to an e-mail from Lobbyist C asking whether he is 'still conferencing' on the transportation appropriations bill, defendant ALBAUGH then responded, '[y]es, it is helping your projects out,'" the charges state. "Lobbyist C responded, 'WOOHOO. Tell me when you can. . . thanks.'"
The charges show Albaugh answered with a detailed accounting of the millions for Abramoff's clients:
"[Client A] is now at $1.25 m," the charges show. "[Client B] $1 m"¦[Client C] $1.2 m"¦[ClientD] $1.4m"¦" Albaugh wrote, saying, "'Whos [sic] the man!" "Ben Fenwick
Oklahoma Gazette's June 11 print edition will feature more on the case.

The Sterasyl ceramic is the ceramic shell used for the Super Sterasyl filter element. That means this filter element will have, at a minimum, the filtration benefits of the Sterasyl ceramic. Additionally, the bore of the ceramic shell is filled with granular activated carbon, which enables the filter to reduce chlorine and organic chemicals while improving the color, taste, and odor of the source water.
The Sterasyl replacement ceramic comes in three sizes: 7" Super Sterasyl, 9" Super Sterasyl and 9" Imperial Super Sterasyl. The re-cleanable Super Sterasyl filter elements remove suspended solids, parasites, cysts and bacteria and reduces organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and foul tastes and odors. The top of the Super Sterasyl element is closed with a unique ceramic dome. This prevents the possibility of breeching (leakage), which can occur with filtration elements that are closed with a plastic cap.

A man dressed in a black suit, a black dress shirt and wearing black sunglasses walked up to a teller at the Wells Fargo Bank in Escondido. Little did she know, the man would also pull out a black semi-automatic pistol and demand money.
The robbery, captured on images released by the FBI and Escondido police, happened around 2:20 p.m. Tuesday on West Valley Parkway.
While the teller was reading a demand note, the bald man pulled out the gun and pointed it at the teller. She gave him money which the man placed in yet another black accessory, a small black bag. He then turned and walked out of the bank.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the FBI at telephone number (858) 565-1255 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Student Loan Debt Stacking up for Gen Y
Gen Y is more likely than any other generation to carry student loan debt, and 10% of Gen Y members are holding a hefty amount of it – $30,000 or more.
That's according to the Western Union Payments Money Mindset Index survey's student debt data for the first quarter of 2012. Gen Y beat out Gen X and Baby Boomers in carrying the most student loan debt totaling anywhere from $1,000 to more than $30,000.
"The most surprising survey result is the amount of debt that Gen Y is accumulating," said David Shapiro, senior vice president for Western Union. "That speaks to our economic situation in terms of unemployment and how it is impacting students.
"When students do not have savings, or families with savings, and they recognize the value of a college education, they're going to take on debt. Then when they come into the workforce, the result can be lingering debt."
Another striking statistic from the survey, according to Shapiro, is the rather high percentage of students who said they're planning to move in with their parents after graduation due to their student loan debt – 26%. A higher percentage, 34%, said they're planning to rent an apartment with roommates.
Western Union also found that 12% of female students and just 2% of male students said they believed they'd have no student loan debt or credit card debt as a result of their college education when they graduated.
On a more positive note, 67% of students surveyed said they feel they're educated about money management and understand the consequences of debt.
Shapiro said in response to the survey results, credit unions can take the opportunity to offer money management tools for their young members.
"Education can come in different forms, and it might include helping with budgeting and setting up recurring payments to ensure bills are paid on time," he said. "All of these things are what I think the Gen Y consumer is looking for."

Margarete (1500s) - Shadow Of Memories
|Shadow of Memories is a time-travelling murder-mystery game in which main character Eike Kusch is killed in various different ways and then has to go back and avoid his fate each time by rearranging things in the past to stop each attempt on his life. It plays out like a third-person interactive story and you gradually piece everything together to figure out who the murderer is. I really loved how unique this game was. I love both time-travel stories and plot twists so I loved how the game kept me guessing all the way through.
I've been wanting to cosplay as Margarete for a long time now. Dana and Hugo are my favourite characters from the game, but Margarete also has one of the key roles in the story and also one of the most memorable outfits so I felt that I really wanted to cosplay as her. I love the lace-up detail on the front and that it also has enough detail on the bottom of the dress to keep the design interesting without looking too busy. The game uses the interesting idea of assigning each time period a different colour-scheme. In the 1500s everything looks to be in different shades of earthy-brown ( apart from Eike who always remains in full colour to show that he's from the present day ). We later find that Margarete's dress actually mainly consists of two different shades of blue which I think suits it really nicely.
I'm planning on wearing this for the Saturday of AmeCon 2012 so that I can wear it for the Masquerade, and also plan to change into it again on the Sunday evening for the Cosplay Ball. It will actually be my first ball dress since so far I have gone as Tamaki from Ouran for most Ball events, or more recently for the FushiCon Masked Ball I went as Dana ( with Eike's juggler mask ). I'm particularly planning this for AmeCon since I'd really like to do a photoshoot with her at Lindsey Court which is where I did a shoot with my juggler Eike at the previous AmeCon. The cobble-stones and shallow steps really reminded me of Lebensbaum, the rural village that the game is set in. I want to make the most of the location while I have the chance so I should be bringing my waitress Dana and maybe my juggler Eike again as well.
Margarete is part of the Wagner household and lives during the 1500s. Doctor Wagner is an alchemist, his wife Helena is very frail and is bedridden, and young Hugo is often concerned that his father is paying far too much attention to his work rather than his sickly mother.
When you first meet Margarete she is in trouble with some of the local townsfolk who feel that she is " dressing above her station ". It seems that she does not always act or dress quite as understatedly as she is expected to in the 1500s. She is keen to hear stories from Eike about the present day ( the year 2001 ) and says that she feels a strong pull towards it. She also tells how a keepsake comb triggers vague thoughts about a man who pats her on the head which she is a bit puzzled over... It's also mentioned that she's a seamstress.
Ended up debuting this cosplay at October Expo 2012 instead of AmeCon. Many thanks to Shido for making the dress for me. I love how detailed the embroidery on the sleeves is and they just fit my hands through perfectly without being too loose. And the main thing I was a little concerned about was if the top would be too low but that worked out perfectly as well ^^ It also includes the little carry pouch she has on one side which I really love.
And thanks to PaperTiger for helping take pictures for me. I did buy some body tape in advance in case I had any problems with the top and it turned out that it would have been useful to hold the shoulders more upright, but with it being on the day we had to book out of the hotel all my stuff was in the reception's left-luggage and I forgot to keep it with me so I made do without. I didn't want to keep bothering them since I already had to dip in and out of my luggage a few times later on in order to get changed again before I was actually ready to take everything home. So yeah, next time I wear this I'll see how the body tape works and will see if I can pin the dress up a little bit too since it was a little longer than expected =)
I'll most likely be re-wearing this at AyaCon 2013 since it has lots of lovely locations there ^^
The dress will really suit you, I love the design and colours.
Thanks, I really love the design and the colours too ^^ Really looking forward to doing this cosplay!
Oh.Em.GEE! I love Margaret's dress design, I can't WAIT to see this! 8D I'm so happy to see you're doing more Shadow cosplays! 8D Argh, I wish I had seen this sooner though, woulda volunteered myself as Eike or Homunculus ;~;
Really hope I get to see this!!
Thanks guys! ^^ KiraraYumi, if you ever did want to cosplay as Eike or Homunculus I would definitely be up for re-wearing her for joint pics or a cosplay group if anyone else is interested! I shall most likely be wearing her for some of the next few events I attend after AmeCon as well =)
Awesome, looking forward to seeing piccies of this. The world needs more Shadow of Memories cosplayers :)
Thanks! Yes it definitely does =)
Woh I remember playing this all back in the day! What a great cosplay idea, I can't wait to see more pictures~
Thankies! =3 I should be posting pictures soon, I'm just waiting to hear back from the photographer. She did a lot of different photoshoots at Expo so I'm sure she has a lot of pics to get through =)
Weeeee~ You look great! Absolutely love this <3
Oooooh you look so so pretty <3 The colours are gorgeous! ^^
Turned out so amazing! The color you chose is gorgeous and the dress is fantastic and you look perfect and aah! *u* I definitely need to see this in person someday x3 Lemme know if/when you plan rewearing her and I'll definitely join you! 8D I've wanted to cosplay from this game for ages and knowing someone else has even played it is just so awesome >w<
Thankies, it means a lot that everyone likes it =3 The credit for the dress has to go to Shido who made it for me ( I'm much more of an illustrator person ). I'll most likely be wearing her again for AyaCon 2013 ( might do it for the Masquerade if I feel brave enough ). Might possibly wear her for Minami as well but I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing for that at the moment. I'd really love to joint-cosplay with you =3
You look so lovely!! You should wear cosplays with dresses more often :) xxx
Awww, thankies! ^///^ There are at least a couple more cosplays I'd like to do sometime which include dresses, just not sure when I'll get around to doing them ^^
Progress Journal
Wig Preview
I was a bit worried about if my wig would be delivered in time for AmeCon, as I'd only have about 3 days difference if they went over the maximum of the estimated 10-20 days delivery time. Luckily it turned up on Saturday which was much earlier than expected, so I'm a happy bunny now ^^ I also got my Alessa Gillespie wig in the same package since I'd ordered it from the same seller. I will be wearing eyeliner and some light makeup when I cosplay Margarete to hopefully make it look a bit better - I didn't bother just for this test shot ^^"

Ryōma/Ginga Red
- Instant Expert: Ryouma has no idea about motorcycles, seeing that he's from Ginga Forest and transportations are mostly with horses. Then he gets Galeopulsar, and then suddenly he's an expert motorcycle rider.
- King of Beasts: His SeiJuu, Ginga Leon.
- Knife Nut: His Kiba Blade's default mode is the short, wide Kiba Knife.

- Starbeast Sword attack: Inazuma Issonote
Saya/Ginga Pink
- Dangerously Short Skirt
- The Chick

- One of the Boys: Saya is a tomboy, growing up and traveling with boys throughout the series. She can fight as good as the boys and wouldn't mind headlocking her friends (usually Ryouma) if they pissed her off.
- Petal Power
- Plucky Girl: A defining factor of her and something of her life philosophy, Saya just refuses to give up and kept smiling in the face of hardships, because after hardship, she can smile even bigger.

- Signature Move
- Earth Elemental attack: Hanabira no Tsumenote
- Starbeast Sword attack: Hana Isshinnote
- The Smurfette Principle

- Hidden Depths: Despite his Bad Boss attitude, he secretly mourns over the deaths of his fellow crewmates.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: Had Battobas use Illiess' soul to save Daitanix before kicking Bucrates out of the castle for his involvement in her frame-up on Budoh.
- Demoted to Extra: In Lost Galaxy
Steerwoman ShelindaThe steerwoman of Daitanix and Balban's subleader.

- The Baroness
- Bare-Handed Blade Block: She easy stopped Hayate's slash with just a simple catch. Subvert a bit that she's wearing gloves.
- Bare Your Midriff

- Dark Action Girl
- Dark Chick
- Expy: Arguably, Queen Ahames
- Leitmotif: "The Name is Shelinda".
- Manipulative Bitch: Create a duplicate of Miharu from Hayate's talisman to kill him.
- Meaningful Name: Sheru (Shell) and Darin (Helmsman). The "Linda" part is also thought to be from a famous Japanese Singer "Linda Yamamoto". Just listen to her Image Song and you will know why.

- Seashell Bra: While not the exact, it's as good as one in term of design.

Sword General Budoh
- Animal Motifs: Like most of Zahab's higher-level minions, Budoh has an aquatic animal motif. In this case, a manta ray.
- Clear My Name: He dedicated the last moments of his life to show that he's no traitor. It failed, but Zahab already found out that he's not guilty at all.
- Noble Demon: While he's certainly antagonistic for the Gingaman and plans to revive Daitanix, Budoh is a man of honor, loyalty and usually plays fair against the Gingaman.
- Warrior Poet: He usually finishes his plan exposition with a Haiku, and he has a sword that cuts through metal.
Spectral Empress Iliess
- Evil Matriarch: She is the mother of MedouMedou and MerudaMeruda.
- Evil Sorceress
- Dark Chick
- Demoted to Extra: In Lost Galaxy
- Greed: Request monetary award from Zahab everytime her plans were about to succeed only to fail because of the Gingaman. Zahab eventually get bored with this and reduces her award by one for each day that her plan fail and planned to get rid of her even her plan succeeded.
- Immortality Immorality: Stated that even if she is to be destroyed she can never die. That is, if her Resurrection Ceremony isn't interrupted.

We've always thought Buell was missing out on aftermarket sales, but now that production of new Buells has ended, that's the only market.
There have always been a number of companies making aftermarket parts for Buells. American Sport Bike, for example, continues to make new aftermarket parts. Their high bar kit for the 1125R hasn't been released, but already Buell riders are lining up to buy it. And good for Al and American Sport Bike. They've supported the Buell enthusiast for many years.
A strong argument can be made for Erik Buell Racing to concentrate on designing aftermarket parts and having other companies manufacture them. Erik Buell has the engineering know-how and he's demonstrated the rare ability to divorce himself from convention. And a lot of small factories are operating below capacity and would be happy to mill short runs of specialized parts.
While his heart certainly lies in the no-nonsense world of racing, there's a lot more money to be made catering to the street bike rider with street-legal performance upgrades and appearance kits.
One of our favorite Buell mod-shops was French builder Lazareth. While the open turbocharger belt seemed an impractical invitation to injury, the profile he gave the XB12S was undeniably beautiful, and we secretly hoped some of those design cues would filter back into the production bikes.
Well, now we have a new favorite modified Buell, this one based on our favorite, the 1125R.
What you're looking at is the Magpul Ronin. If that name doesn't sound familiar, that's because they've never had anything to do with motorcycles before. Magpul makes aftermarket rifle grips, stocks, magazines, etc. We can only imagine that they had idle time and CNC machine time, and did this amazing Buell in their spare time.
I like the front fork fairings, though I'd like to see how they perform at speed. I'm not as sure how practical the naked radiator front and center would be, though it does add to the overall look of mechanical brutality. What I think is absolutely brilliant is the use of the negative space between the seat and frame. I would throw my grandmother down a flight of stairs to have someone fabricate that seat, tail assembly and airbox cover.
For those of you who've been starved for Buell eye-candy, here are a few more shots. Get the whole story at http://magpulronin.com/

Fundamental analysis
Yesterday the US dollar fell. Earlier it managed to recover some lost ground against its major competitors - the dollar index basket (USDX) closed the trading day at the mark of 88.50. The pair EUR/USD remained under pressure during the day amid the commodity markets sales.
The Brent oil is very close to the psychological level of $60/barrel that supported the US dollar during the day. The US industrial production release for November pleased traders by its positive data that also supported demand for the dollar. Then the USD decreased.
Bears were able to fully play the downward trend within the pair GBP/USD. The UK and the US negative bond yields encouraged traders for the opening short positions within the British pound that was fundamentally revalued in the short term.
Both the manufacturing sector and the Tankan service sector activity indices supported the demand for the Japanese yen. The strong data allow us to count on the Japan economic growth recovery. Sales on the global stock markets have also put pressure on the pair USD/JPY.

DNR to make aerial inspections in Beltrami County
Wetlands filter runoff into lakes, streams and groundwater, stabilize lake levels and provide wildlife habitat and fish nurseries.
But Minnesota's wetlands are rapidly disappearing due to development. Some of the drainage and filling is permitted, but much is in violation of the Wetland Conservation Act.
On Friday, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources began aerial surveys of Beltrami County. DNR Conservation Officer Don Murray is piloting a GPS-equipped single-engine Scout made by the American Champion Co. of Rochester, Wis.
Capt. Perry Bollum, wetland enforcement officer supervisor, said the surveys check for evidence of residents doing work below the high water mark, removing aquatic plants and draining or filling in wetlands.
"It's the great big sponge in the earth," said Rich Sprouse, DNR enforcement public information officer. "We keep plowing them up and covering them up."
"We've lost half the wetlands Minnesota used to have," said Bollum. "In the agricultural part of the state down south, we've lost over 90 percent. In some counties, 99 percent is gone. People have to pay attention to what we're losing."
He said Beltrami County still supports more than 80 percent of the original wetland, but development encroaches on the swampy areas and lake homes proliferate. Bollum said the state's population is forecast to increase by 1.2 million people in the next 25 years. Many of these people will seek lakeshore property.
"They want that green lawn down to the lake and they fertilize the lawn and get a good rain and all that nitrogen runs into the lake," he said.
Until last year, Sprouse said, the six DNR wetland enforcement officers surveyed for violations mostly from the ground, but aerial surveillance is more efficient and effective. He said flights have logged 370 violations in central Minnesota since May 1.
If Murray observes a disturbed wetland or shoreline or evidence of aquatic plant removal, he notes the location with the GPS system and snaps a digital photo. Bollum said the officers then check with local Soil and Water Conservation Districts to see if the landowner has a permit. If not, the field officer will draw up cease and desist work restoration orders. At that point, the violation is not a criminal case, Bollum said.
If the landowner continues the work or fails to make the restorations, the case moves into the criminal category and the DNR will write a ticket charging the offender.
"People sometimes just don't know what they're doing is a violation," Bollum said.
Consequently, he said the DNR holds regular educational seminars and announces through the media the aerial surveillance schedule.
Bollum urged area landowners to contact the Beltrami Soil and Water Conservation District before they do any work on a wetland or shore. He said the DNR's goal is to prevent damage before violations occur.
In addition to wetlands violations surveys, Murray said he conducts aerial population surveys, such as counting eagles' nests and radio-collared wildlife.
Murray and Bollum are based at the Grand RapidsDNR Headquarters.

Sox looking to limit unearned runs
How pitchers react to miscues as important as defense
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
The White Sox have allowed 43 unearned runs in 2009, leading the Royals by three in the American League. They had committed 12 errors in their past seven games, including three Saturday that led to three unearned runs.
In order to correct this game of giveaway, all parties agree that the adjustment is on the pitchers almost as much as the defense.
"You have to focus on the next pitch, that's the biggest thing," said hurler Clayton Richard, who has permitted four unearned runs in 2009 and has made two errors. "That stuff happens. It's like the fielders getting mad at us when we walk somebody. It's out of our control. We know they won't make every play, and for the most part this season they've done a really good job behind us."
"We need good pitching, good hitting and good defense," White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said. "A lot of days, we are getting some but not all of the above. We've got to be able to catch the ball better. Our pitchers rely on it."
Cooper's assessment stands as spot-on, considering the White Sox have a starting rotation without a pure strikeout pitcher. In making the opposition put the ball in play, the starters need to be confident that the defense will avoid providing too many extra outs.
Then again, those same pitchers have to occasionally pitch around a miscue. Bartolo Colon, currently on the disabled list, has found the most trouble following an error, with 13 unearned runs yielded. Five unearned runs have scored against right-handed setup man Scott Linebrink.
"Unearned runs are not just about the fielders," Richard said. "When there's an error, we have the responsibility to make the most of that situation and not let that run score. They are still runs. It's definitely not all on the defense."
Dealing with a young infield, including Gordon Beckham [five errors] at third and Alexei Ramirez [team-worst 10 errors] at shortstop, playing their respective positions for the first time in their Major League careers leads to some expected problems. But according to Cooper and Guillen, the play in the field has to improve.
"If we have the defense and the pitching working together, we are going to be in the ballgames," Cooper said.
"Like I say, there are good errors and bad errors," Guillen said. "We know we have kids playing, but we're making a lot of bad ones. We need those guys to make the plays."

The Street eagerly awaits Amazon (AMZN[1]) earnings each quarter … but really, why even bother?
You see, nearly every quarter we get a case of what classic rockers Led Zeppelin call, "The Song Remains the Same." That is to say, Amazon earnings come in with big revenue growth and a tiny profit due largely to massive reinvestment of capital into the business that allows it to expand.
This is all part of CEO Jeff Bezos' master plan to take over not just the electronic retailing world (it has long since done that), but also the way humans consume everything, from books to entertainment to groceries.
To couch it in Led Zeppelin-like poetry, you might say Bezos, "Had a dream. Crazy dream."
During Q1, AMZN reported earnings growth of 28% vs. the prior year, with EPS coming in at 23 cents. That metric was in line with consensus expectations. As for the top line, Amazon saw sales growth of 23% year over year to a remarkable $19.74 billion.
That's a lot of cheese, as the saying goes.
More importantly, it also represents revenue acceleration over Q4's relatively low (yet still enviable) growth of "just" 20% year-over-year.
The bad news for Q1 Amazon earnings is that the company saw operating income fall 19% to $146 million. Amazon cited increased costs and increased sales support spending for the tepid bottom-line while reporting that total operating expenses — things such as fulfillment, content, marketing and technology — jumped by 23.3%. Shipping costs, always an issue for Amazon, rose some 28% worldwide.
Shareholders got even more bad news on Friday, as Wall Street basically interpreted Amazon earnings negatively … and started to look ahead.
Specifically, AMZN shares sank nearly 9% in mid-Friday trade, as the fast money focused on the company's less-than-robust Q2 outlook. Amazon forecasts sales in the coming quarter to be $18.1 billion to $19.8 billion. That's a disappointment when the average analyst forecast sits at $19.03 billion. The company also said it anticipates operating at a loss in the second quarter.
Now, the Street's reaction to the Q1 metrics and Q2 forecast is clear in terms of how bad AMZN stock was tanking late Friday.
Thing is, like it always is, when considering AMZN, you have to play the long game.
Yes, profits are tiny, but that has always been the case. The more important thing here is that revenue continues to grow, and Amazon continues to make investments in future growth areas. Some recent examples of this are video content deals with the likes of HBO[2], as well as future plans to move into the so-called "last mile" delivery[3]. (This delivery issue is where I suspect that, given time, we'll ultimately see costs reduced significantly.)
Of course, the issue for investors here is, should you be buying the same old song and dance from Amazon?
Given the double-digit percentage haircut in the shares over the past several months, I think now could be the best time in years to buy AMZN stock for the intermediate and/or long term. Much harder here is what to do with the stock if you've been long and have a substantial gain.
For example, those who bought and held AMZN five years ago now are sitting on a profit of more than 300%. Hey, if you're one of those investors, then banking gains certainly is understandable.
However, one thing for certain is that Jeff Bezos is in it for the long haul.
If you want to make money in the long haul too (and don't we all), then I say buy more AMZN stock at current levels.
As of this writing, Jim Woods did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

ELYRIA — The Elyria man who used his purported membership in a secretive organization to try to convince two teenage girls to have sexual relations with him was sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in the Lorain County Jail.
County Common Pleas Judge Mark Betleski also placed Nelson Torres, 36, on probation for two years and ordered him to register as a sex offender.
The sentence followed what Betleski told Torres he would likely impose when Torres pleaded guilty in September to felony gross sexual imposition and misdemeanor sexual imposition charges.
One of the victims in the case told police that Torres propositioned her in December by telling her they could earn points from a secret group he was a member of and get money. In order to win points, Torres told the girl, they had "go out of her comfort zone."
When the girl agreed, he took her to a bedroom and told her they were being watched by hidden cameras operated by the Illuminati. After asking her some questions, he told her to remove her clothes and began to touch her.
The girl asked Torres if he planned to rape her and that she didn't want to continue before leaving. She then went to see her sister, who described a similar incident.
Jeff Brown, Torres' lawyer, has previously said that the accusations against his client were blown out of proportion and that a friend of Torres came up with the Illuminati claim as a way to pick up women years ago and his client went along with it.
Torres has a previous conviction from a decade ago for attempting to seduce a woman in a similar fashion when she applied for a job at the pizzeria he ran.

Kenesha Saygo was unapologetically reckless at times. It was never strange to see the Ellison senior point guard peeling herself off the floor after haphazardly hurling her body into the lane to draw contact, only to flail her arms and put up an awkward, off-balance shot at the last second in hopes of an and-one opportunity.
"I've always been that type of player since my freshman year … you've got to get dirty, you've got to play hard, so if it took me risking my body — even breaking a leg or something — I really wouldn't care," Saygo said.
Her own well-being aside, it was Saygo's ability to parlay her reckless, all-or-nothing offensive approach into a team-infusing spark that helped lead the Lady Eagles on a school-record 32-4 campaign and Ellison's second district championship in the last three seasons.
"Most definitely I felt (the team respond), because they'd look at me like, 'Are you serious?' … but then they'd also (get a look) like they wanted to do the same thing," Saygo said. "That makes someone go harder and get that adrenaline pumping."
For her leadership, Saygo was selected as the Daily Herald's All-Area Most Valuable Player after earning the co-MVP nod from District 8-5A along with Killeen senior Jasmine Goodwine.
"It means a lot; it really brings a smile to my face to know that all my hard work and dedication is finally showing and people are also (recognizing) it," said Saygo, who averaged 12.2 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game for Ellison.
"Even before the season started, coach (Sherry) McKinnon said my role was to get everybody else involved, make the team look good," Saygo said. "I didn't have to score at all, I just wanted to get my team involved and have fun so we can (get) to what we want."
Shawnte' Goff, Copperas Cove, sr., guard
In her senior season, Shawnte' Goff led Cove in points (14.4), assists (3.8) and steals (3.1), while also averaging 5.5 rebounds per game. More importantly, she led the Lady Bulldawgs to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
Jasmine Goodwine, Killeen, sr., forward
The 6-foot forward and Rice signee was a District 8-5A co-MVP after leading Killeen to its ninth consecutive postseason appearance. The four-year letterman and four-time all-district selection averaged 19.5 points and 8.9 rebounds a game and is on the All-Area team for the third straight year.
JaQuan Jackson, Harker Heights, sr., guard
The Louisiana Tech signee was named the 8-5A co-Offensive MVP after leading a completely revamped Lady Knights squad with 21.8 points per game and a team-leading 44 percent field-goal shooting.
Deja Pointer, Ellison, sr., guard
The 12-5A newcomer of the year in 2011, Pointer was one of four 8-5A first-team selections for the Lady Eagles after averaging 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Kaitlyn Shearer, Ellison, sr., post
The Louisiana-Monroe signee volleyball player was a stable force inside for the Lady Eagles, earning a District 8-5A first-team selection after averaging 9.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and nearly 2 steals per game.
Sherry McKinnon, Ellison
Two years ago, McKinnon led a senior-laden squad to Ellison's first district championship in a decade and set a school record with 30 wins and a regional semifinal appearance. After a disappointing one-and-done playoff trip last year, McKinnon galvanized the Lady Eagles around an us-against-the-world mentality and the end result was another season for the record books.
Led by an experienced group of seniors seeking to make their own mark, Ellison won its second district championship in three years, going 13-1 in District 8-5A, and once again eclipsed the single-season win record with a 32-4 campaign that ended with a second-round playoff loss to Flower Mound Marcus. But not before the Lady Eagles avenged last season's playoff loss by beating state-ranked DeSoto 46-44 in the first round.
Tia Harston, Killeen, fresh., guard
An MVP of some sort ever since earning the Killeen Parks and Recreation sixth-grade MVP honor, Killeen freshman Tia Harston expected to be a vital part of the Lady Roos' first since in 5A since 2002.
But she didn't feel completely comfortable in that role until she poured in a game-high 21 points in Killeen's 52-44 loss to then-16th-ranked Temple on Jan. 11.
"I felt really good that night," said Harston, the Killeen Daily Herald All-Area Girls Basketball Newcomer of the Year. "I didn't (do) anything like hold back. I was just doing what I needed to do, being me.
"I just knew I hadn't been doing what I needed to do. That was just the night for it."
Also the District 8-5A newcomer of the year, Harston, a 5-foot-7 shooting guard, averaged 8.1 points and 2.3 steals per game and appears to be the heir apparent to Jasmine Goodwine, a senior four-year letterman who signed with Rice in November. Harston averaged 9.8 points in six games after the Temple loss, including a nine-steal performance against Waco Midway, and appears poised to step up as the next big thing in Lady Roos basketball.
"I think we'll be OK (next season)," Harston said. "As far as me being it again, then I'm going to do what I need to do."

Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
should i wait until i get a court order to be able to move out of state, or should i just go, and take a gamble as far as whether my husband will take me to court about it? also, if he were to take me to court and insist i bring my son back, would it matter to the judge whether my son was already settled and in school? i'd like to also mention that right now, i have a temporary restraining order out on my husband, and will be fighting for a final one, and am very scared if i don't get the final order, that he will be able to come back to our home. I don't have anywhere close by to go, and would absolutely be in danger in his presence.

Doing anything without hiring an attorney first is asking for serious trouble. There is so much to respond to here that I don't even have enough space. I have two offices in Middlesex County, call me to discuss at 732/773/2768
My answer applies only if you live in New Jersey.
It is most likely that you will need your ex's agreement to moving (it would be smart to have it in writing) or you need to get the court's permission. I am not certain of this, but this is the most likely situation.
If you are required to have permission, and you do not get it, and you move with the child anyway, you can have serious problems. Serious. You could lose custody and parenting time with your child, or even maybe have kidnapping charges against you. Serious problems.
There is a lot at risk here, and you do not want to risk losing all of that.
You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.
I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.
This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

The Music Export Growth Scheme has been established by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and the BPI (British Recorded Music Industry) to help small and medium-sized independent music companies promote their artists overseas as part of wider government efforts to get another 100,000 businesses exporting.
In February, Newcastle songwriter Beth Jeans Houghton was named in the first round of funding.
Trade Minister Lord Livingston, said: "The British music industry is a global success story. From The Beatles to Adele to Mumford & Sons, Britannia rules the airwaves and sells more records around the world than almost any other country."
Ms James, who was born in Tanzania, and moved to the UK when she was six-years-old, said: "Massive thanks to team BPI for getting behind me and I can't wait to get out there this summer."
David Coppock, UKTI's regional director for the North-East, said: "The North-East has long been a hot bed of musical talent from the likes of Sting, Lindisfarne, Chris Rea, Bryan Ferry and The Futureheads and more recently three X-Factor winners - James Arthur, Jo McElderry and Little Mix.
"UKTI is delighted to be able to support the industry in continuing this success and exporting its music around the world."
