You can now return tapes and DVDs to the Paramount Theatre.
Denmark / Norway 2004, 88 minutesDir. Anders Rønnow KlarlundRating: [PG] Genres: Family / Fantasy
Feat. James McAvoy, Catherine McCormack, Derek Jacobi, Julian Glover
Aroview: An extraordinary Danish puppet fantasy epic about the course of kingdoms and warriors in an ancient world, which is distinguished by the integration of the puppet strings into the action as a vital complicating element and an original metaphor for cosmic fate.
The story concerns Hal, a prince of the kingdom of Helabon, who must journey to the Lake of a Thousand Dead Warriors to gain the powers necessary to defeat the falsely maligned Zeriths. Voiced by the cream of British acting talent, this suffers a little from the lack of expressiveness to the puppets' faces, but even so, it is intricately fascinating, delicate and atmospheric.
DVD also features NZ short film Ordan's Forest, directed by Scott Walker.

Globes: Ayalon: Tower, EZchip painful reminders of technology risks
9 August 12 13:25–"The collapse in the share price of EZchip Semiconductor Ltd. (Nasdaq: EZCH; TASE:EZCH) today and the fall in Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Nasdaq: TSEM; TASE: TSEM) following the publication of their financial reports and disappointing guidance is a reminder for everyone who has forgotten, or who never grasped, the risk side of the risk-reward equation inherent in investing in technology shares in general and in Israeli technology shares in particular," Ayalon Group chief strategist Yaniv Pagot said today.
Pagot added, "Last week, NICE Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq: NICE; TASE: NICE) gave a similar reminder, and it seems that the global economic slowdown will not miss the technology industry for long, as seen is the lower guidances by companies and longer sales processes, due to reduced capital investment by customers."
Pagot says that most Israeli technology companies, no matter successful they have been, are still and will probably always be niche technology companies on the global scale, and will therefore be strongly dependent on the markets. Consequently, they will publish good results in boom times, but there is also a strong risk during slowdowns.
"Investment managers of the dot.com generation remember the bitter taste of a slowdown on their profit multiples for pricing, and the consequent plunge in prices of well-regarded technology shares. In the current technology wave, many of them are again feeling a sense of 'this time it's different', because the technology industry is at a peak, companies are profitable, and everyone is waiting for the iPhone 5 to refuel the technology party…Read More>>

first a thank you to the red team for being so open. however I still have a few questions about the fixed 2/3.
1) what is the focal lenth range for the 8x lense
2) how do you atach th red volt batery to your fixed scarlet. i was under the imprestion that either a batery modual or a side handel would be needed but neither is part of the package.
thanks once again
And if you don't like renting... just imagine what will happen to the resale values of all kinds of cool cameras once scarlet and epic drop. I imagine you'll be able to score a used EX3, etc for a very nice price. I have to imagine that these cameras will force serious price re-adjustments for new cameras from the competition as well. If canon, sony, etc can't match these specs (and it sure doesn't look like it at the moment), they sure are going to have to undersell these cameras pricewise. Even if you can't afford a Scarlet, you'll surely benefit while you work/save for your scarlet/epic/whatever....
There is a bottom handle for the Scarlet.. and it has Start stop and user buttons on it :)
Jarred for the fix lens bundle where do we put the battery?
The EPIC was conceived at 5.2(h)x3.5(w)x3.54(d) at less than 4 lbs. it grew to: Dimensions- Approx. 4"x4"x5.5"
Weight (Brain only)- Approx. 6 lbs (2.72kg)
Scarlet was conceived at 5.2(h)x2.76(w)x2.76(d) at less than 3 lbs. where are we with the current size and weight of the Scarlet?
Just saw the Scarlet D3 size comparison and.... well I have to clean up.

The three big teams were still in it when Portugal met Brazil in front of an expectant crowd of 58,479 at Goodison on 19th July.
The Brazilians made nine changes to the side that had capitulated to Hungary but they were helpless as Portugal, and especially Eusebio, ran riot - although their brutal treatment of Pele led to the Brazilian legend being carried from the pitch.
One goal from Eusebio was particularly memorable - a volley from the right hand side of the box that brought a memorable line from David Coleman on the BBC: "Oh my word! Have you ever seen anything like that?"
The 3-1 win confirmed the Portuguese as group winners and it also proved to be the end of the road for Garrincha: remarkably it was the first time he had been on the losing side in 50 internationals. Hungary's 3-1 victory at Old Trafford against Bulgaria meant they also went through to the quarter-finals.
Tuesday, July 19th 1966
Brazil 1 (Rildo) Portugal 3 (Simoes, Eusebio 2).
Attendance: 62,204.
Brazil: Manga, Fidelis, Brito, Orlando, Rildo, Denilson, Lima, Jairzinho, Silva. Pele, Parana.
Portugal: Jose Pereira, Morais, Batista, Vicente, Hilario, Coluna, Jaime Graca, Jose Augusto, Eusebio, Torres, Simoes.

Physical Disabilities and Post-Secondary Educational OutcomesRobert A. Shakotko, Michael Grossman
NBER Working Paper No. 609 (Also Reprint No. r0280) This paper is an empirical investigation of the effect of poor early life-cycle health on post-secondary educational choices and outcomes. We use panel data for a sample of 10,430 individuals who were high school seniors in the spring of 1972, and who were re-surveyed in October of each year through 1976. Various health information was collected in the base year of the survey, and we use these base year reports as measures of health which are predetermined with respect to educational behavior in the subsequent five years. We examine individuals' choices of post-secondary activities (which include different types of post-secondary education and no post-secondary education), and the rate at which individuals leave educational activities, in an effort to determine if the behavior of disabled individuals differs from healthy individuals, and if these differences could be attributable to health problems. The NBER Bulletin on Aging and Health provides summaries of publications like this.

In the world of wild animals, predators and their prey evolve elaborate coloring and behaviors to blend in with the environment around them in a deadly dance of deception. In the world of domestic animals, pets that look like the couch or the floor get sat on, stepped on, and occasionally mistaken for a pile of laundry. Cats, dogs, ferrets: sometimes you look way, way, way too much like your surroundings. While it's weirdly impressive and sort of adorable, we also fear treading on you during one of your stealthy, ghost-protocol, seamlessly camouflaged naps.

21 October 2010 | Kabul, Afghanistan – On the occasion of World Sight Day, the Ministry of Public Health and the World Health Organization are launching a series of 10 eye camps to serve the less fortunate population suffering from cataract across Afghanistan. Thanks to a $90,000 donation from Kuwait's Patients Helping Fund, 2000 cataract surgeries will be performed across the country.
14 October 2010 | Kabul, Afghanistan – The World Health Organization (WHO) today launched its first global report on neglected tropical diseases. In light of an ongoing Leishmaniasis outbreak in Herat, Afghanistan, WHO along with the Ministry of Public Health and the Afghan Red Crescent Society used this opportunity to raise awareness about and advocate for neglected diseases in Afghanistan, with special emphasis on Leishmaniasis, a disease that threatens the health of 13 million vulnerable Afghans, especially women and girls.
11 October, 2010 -- Preparing for humanitarian crises is at the core of Afghanistan's new approach to scaling up its health system. WHO is supporting the Afghanistan government and Health Cluster partners to increase their capacities to better prepare for and respond to emergencies related to conflict and hazardous natural events.
10 October 2010 | Kabul, Afghanistan –- On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, Afghan government officials, the World Health Organization and the European Commission reinforced the need to take action and make progress against mental, neurological and substance use disorders amongst Afghans.
5 October 2010 | Bamyan, AFGHANISTAN -- The World Health Organization pledged its commitment to work with health authorities in the under-resourced province of Bamyan to reach remote populations with increased health services. Several districts of Bamyan, including Yakawlang, Panjab, Waras and Kahmard remain inaccessible for long durations during the year due to harsh winter conditions. This hampers health service delivery and puts the lives of hundreds of thousands of Afghans at risk.
18 August 2010 | Kabul, Afghanistan -- To mark the significance of World Humanitarian Day, the health sector in Afghanistan has appealed for improved access by and to Afghans most in need of health care.
5 August 2010 | Kabul, Afganistan -- The World Health Organization has begun sending medical relief supplies to address health needs of victims of the flooding across provinces in central, eastern and northern Afghanistan.
3 August 2010 ¦ Kabul, Afghanistan -- Afghanistan has launched a new drive to better prepare its health sector, and the broader community, to cope with and respond to the impacts of conflict, hazardous natural events and other potential humanitarian crises.
3 July 2010 | Kabul, Afghanistan -- The World Health Organization is currently conducting a large delivery of medicines and health supplies to Afghanistan, sending 430 tonnes of life-saving materials - enough for 1 million people - to health providers throughout the country.
26 April 2010 -- At a press conference in Kabul today, Dr Eric Laroche, Assistant Director-General for Health Action in Crises, World Health Organization (WHO) and Peter Graaff, WHO Country Representative also said more needs to be done to reduce infant and maternal mortality, and in areas of emergency planning and access.
24 April 2010 -- It is vital to immunize more Afghans against vaccine-preventable diseases and protect them from malaria, government and United Nations officials said 24 April during a Kabul ceremony launching two major health events.
4 FEBRUARY 2005 | GENEVA -- The three countries on the Asian continent that still have polio are on target to end the disease this year, their health authorities said today. Last year, polio cases in Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan were slashed by 45%. Similar momentum this year should put an end to the transmission of polio in this particularly crowded corner of the world, which has proven a challenge to global eradication efforts.
GENEVA -- Relatively small investment by international community could prevent misery for 200,000 in Kabul alone Displaced people and international staff most at risk Largest single outbreak of the disease in the world Decades of civil war in Afghanistan have not only destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. Neglected but treatable diseases have taken hold throughout this long history of conflict and defeated the efforts of doctors and clinics to bring them under control.
"Health is a fundamental building block for the reconstruction of Afghanistan," Baroness Emma Nicholson of Winterbourne said on her return from the Tokyo Donors Conference on Afghanistan. Baroness Nicholson represented the World Health Organization (WHO) at the Tokyo meeting.
Health sector reconstruction in Afghanistan must be guided by a strong international commitment to save and improve lives, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated today. It also called for generous investment in health, at this crucial moment, as a key to future stability and socio-economic development in the country.

A Variable-Bit-Rate Buried-Data Channel for Compact Disc
Recently, an elegant method was published to add buried data to a CD signal in a compatible way. This method is based on subtractively dithered noise-shaped quantization, and provides a fixed-rate buried-data channel. In this paper we describe an adaptive extension to this method resulting in a variable rate of higher average value.

Like most women with large breast, I have chronic neck and shoulder pain. I'm having a reduction and Lipo under my arms aka side boobs. Nervous and excited. I have always had large breast. I'm 5'7" and wear a 38H. I was hoping to be a 38C but my PS said to be safe he will make me a 38D. I have broad shoulders so I'm trusting his opinion.
Great review?

An NYC metal sampler
Take an aural tour of NYC metal, past and present.
Tue May 28 2013
"I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister (1984)
We begin with everyone's favorite garishly made-up, lovably obnoxious Long Island hard-rock crew, still going strong today, in the same lineup that issued this self-explanatory fist-pumper during Reagan's first term.
"Bonecrusher" by Mortician (2001)
The NYC metal underground has spawned no more extreme act than this horror-flick-obsessed Yonkers duo, whose tracks are a blur of hyperspeed drum-machine blasts, subhuman growling and staticky bass distortion.
"Caught in a Mosh" by Anthrax (1987)
No NYC metal roundup would be complete without a nod to the city's representative in thrash metal's Big 4—currently thriving in the wake of their stellar 2011 comeback, Worship MusicM—who counterbalanced the bloodthirsty vitriol of contemporaries like Slayer with punky irreverence and peppy hookcraft.
"The Death of Boredom" by Primitive Weapons (2012)
Brooklyn's answer to white-knuckle post-hardcore titans such as Converge, Primitive Weapons—three members of which double as proprietors of essential Greenpoint metal bar Saint Vitus—can be found gigging constantly around town, turning up on bills both underground and high-profile.
"God of Thunder" by Kiss (1976)
Many don't immediately associate the legendary shock-rock quartet with NYC, but three of the four original members were born within the five boroughs, with Chaim "Gene Simmons" Witz immigrating to Jackson Heights at age eight. Here we bring you a classic slab of adolescent-geared machismo.

I like to volunteer my time for some local high school robotics students. It's amazing that we mentor to teach the students, but in the end the students teach us mentors a lot more. I have started my own business based off of the robotics program also.
My daily goal: make at least a few people laugh. I'd like to think I have a great personality and my best thing is humor. I always try to find the funny side of situations. What's better then a guy who makes you laugh?
Three things I couldn't do without;
My Strength, my Determination to win, and my strive to be financially sound.
Anything else you want to know, send me a message.
PS Having a beautiful smile is #1 in my book. :)

Still looking for a reason to watch the new season of Being Erica? How about a cast of crushworthy guys? From BFF Ethan to time-travelling shrink Dr. Tom and new guy in town Adam -- see them all in our Being Erica Weekly Crush slideshow!
Don't miss the Season 3 premiere of Being Erica, Wednesday, January 26th at 11PM.
Which Being Erica actor do you think is the cutest?
PHOTO SOURCE: SOAPnet
Dr. Tom. Yowza! He does it for me each and every time. I've always been attracted to older well-read men with an air of sophistication and he fulfills each of those characteristics. Now, when he puts the glasses on, well, I'm over the edge!
Dr. Tom is it for me!!!!!!! I've always had a thing for older, sexy, well-read, sophisticated men and he is the model of all these characteristics for me. At the same time, there's still something earthy and caring about him. I could totally see him being my baby daddy. LOL

~Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long, year, stole many a man's soul and faith.
So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.
I made Miburo cry on his birthday.
Reached Demon-God Status
My Cat Is Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner
Rapidity of Mercury
Kyle taps into his godhood and increases his speed and agility. The increase is determined by 30% Power + Brawn. (Currently 35). After PowerX2 minutes, the affect wears off (Currently 90). He'll be able to use it after a few minutes.
Lord of the Stars
Kyle can summon one avatar of the constellations. It stays active for Skill X 1 hour (Currently 9). Also, the constellation must be in clear view in order for Kyle to successfully summon it, or it won't work. This, of course, will change as Kyle gains more experience.
As the Patron god of the stars, Kyle is one with their essence. At higher levels, he'll be able to see, hear and even speak through them. The connection with him is broken whenever Kyle is knocked unconscious, leaving the avatars susceptible to the control of another. Once he regains consciousness, however, that link is reestablished.
Hydri - Summons the water serpent Hydrus, a 100 ft long, 2,500 lb black anaconda. She has a 2 ft tall head and a body diameter of 6 ft.
Brawn: Kyle's Brawn * 3 (21)
Speed: Kyle's Speed -3 (12)
Agility: Kyle's Agility -4 (11)
Perception: Kyle's Perception (10)
Power: Kyle's Power (45)
Skill: Kyle's Skill (10)
Primordial Venom - Hydrus swallows her target(s) whole, and digests them. Once finished, she converts them into a primordial stew a like substance and regurgitates them, letting loose a stream of venom that melts the whatever is hit with it, while doing physical damage equal to 50% of her Power . She can do this up to four times in one setting, but has to absorb Power/Skill victims.
Pegasi - Summons Pegasus, the winged horse. Little sparks of lightning sparkle across his 20 ft wingspan , his long flowing white mane and around his eyes.
Brawn: Kyle + 4 (10)
Speed: Kyle/2 (7)
Agility: Kyle/2 (7)
Perception: Kyle (10)
Power: Kyle (45)
Skill: Kyle (10)
Thunderhorse- Pegasus flaps his wings and forms a lightning bolt. The bolts do physical damage equal to his Power (32). He can also charge his hooves with electricity to add more punch to his strikes.
Tauri - Summons Taurus, the bull of Europa. It has light brown fur and red eyes, as well as a pair of two foot long horns. It also has two golden earrings on its ears and a nose ring.
Brawn: Kyle * 3 (21)
Speed: Kyle / 3 (5)
Agility: Kyle /3 (5)
Perception: Kyle (10)
Power: Kyle (45)
Skill: Kyle (10)
Jove's Trickery - One of the legends Taurus' mythology is based on is that of Zeus. Zeus fell in love with a beautiful princess named Europa. After he failed to gain her hand directly, he tried deception by transforming into a beautiful white bull. As such, Taurus is able to pull one such act of deception at a time. He is able to shift his appearance into any organic material, be it animal, human or plant. He can shift once per five Skill points (2) and the shift lasts for an amount of minute equal to his Perception (7).
Lupi - summons Lupus the wolf
Brawn: Kyle * 2
Speed: Kyle * 2
Agility: Kyle * 2
Perception: Kyle
Power: Kyle
Skill: Kyle
Leonis - summons Leo the lion
Brawn: Kyle * 3
Speed: Kyle / 2
Agility: Kyle /2
Perception: Kyle
Power: Kyle
Skill: Kyle
Nemean Invulnerability - According to Greek myth, Heracles killed the Nemean lion as one of his twelve labors. Because the beast was immune to physical damage, he resorted to stragulation to kill it. As such, for a time equal to his skill, Leo becomes invulnerable to physical attacks.
Gemini - Summons the Gemini twins, Dameia and Sapphia
Dameia Stats:
Brawn: Kyle * 2
Speed: Kyle - 10
Agility: Kyle -10
Perception: Kyle
Power: Kyle
Skill: Kyle
Sapphia Stats:
Brawn: Kyle - 10
Speed: Kyle
Agility: Kyle
Perception: Kyle
Power: Kyle
Skill: Kyle
Draconis: Summons Draco the dragon
Brawn: Kyle * 5
Speed: Kyle - 5
Agility: Kyle - 5
Perception: Kyle
Power: Kyle
Skill: Kyle
Serpent of Mars: Draco is based on the legend of the Serpent of Mars, a great beast that killed the men Cadmus, brother of Europa, dispatched to retrieve his sister from the heavens. It was said that the beast's body was puffed up with poison. Because of this, Draco can mix in a lethal poisonous spew with his fire to add extra damage. The fire does Power damage, and the poison adds 40% Brawn damage.
Staff of the Messenger - Kyle now has the ability to summon Caduceus, the herald's staff belonging to the messenger of the Greek gods, Hermes. The staff is about three feet long, tip to tip, and sports a pair of razor sharp wings and the bottom tip is pointed. It is indestructible and inmutable, and if it is somehow separated from Kyle, it will return to him at his bidding.
Summoning Caduceus affords Kyle the following abilities:
1. Flight of the Messenger God - As long as Kyle is in contact with Caduceus, he is granted the ability to fly. His flight speed is equal to his Speed plus 50% Speed (currently 22; 58 with Rapidity)
2.Conductor of the Dead – Caduceus has long been associated with medicine. As such, Kyle now has the ability to heal those plagued with injuries, sicknesses, or any other type of infirmities. The speed at which the healing occurs is contingent on the difference of his Speed and Skill. The greater the difference, the more rapidly the ailment will heal. The radius of this power is a foot for every Power point.
3.Patron God of Peaceful Travels – As the guardian of roads traveled, as well as those undertaking them, Hermes was charged with seeing the those travelers arriving to their destination unhindered. Keeping with this, Kyle can now emit a calming aura that dispels negative thoughts and intentions and encourages positive moral in all those within its radius. Said radius is a number of feet equal to his Power stat. The feeling is overwhelming, and only those with a Perception that is higher than his Skill won't be affected if they don't want to be. If the two stats are the same, then the target won't be affected if they don't want to be.
As a secondary affect, if this aura is in affect before a battle, or is activated during, then a number of allies equal to his Skill receive a bonus number of stat points equal to 30% of his Power. This power last for an amount of minutes equal to his Perception.
Stone of Battos - According to Greek myth, Hermes once turned an old man named Battos into a stone as punishment after Battos went back on a deal he and Hermes concluded. Because of this feat, Kyle can now also turn objects, both organic and inorganic into stone. To start the petrification process, he must make physical contact with the intended target, and must maintain that contact throughout. If he lets go, then the process stops. The rate of petrification is contingent on the difference between Kyle's Speed and Power. The higher the difference, the faster the process takes place. The target can resist the change if their Brawn is at least 50% his power. If the target is somehow incapacitated, be it mentally or physically, to the point to where they would not be able to actively put up a resistance, then the previous caveat is bypasses. Once the petrification is complete, it wears off after Skill minutes. Kyle, of course, is immune to this power.
Wrath of the Gods - Kyle channels power from his fellow gods and looses it in the form of a swirling blue bolt of energy. The blast can be fired in various shapes, speeds and from any part, including his Avatars and Caduceus. He can fire up to Skill bolts at a time, with a five minute recharge time after the final bolt. The base damage for each bolt is equal to his Brawn, and increases by 15% for each Alaphim within a radius equal to his Perception. Each blast radius varies, but it no smaller that a few inches and is no bigger than 40% Power, with the damage decreasing by 1-2 Brawn per foot.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Live, I will kill you, If I Die, You are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.

New power:
Ruler of Golachab - Spear
Within a radius of five meters around him, Raphael can materialize a weapon or weapons forged out of the black flame. The number of weapons he can create at once would be dependent on his power and/or skill scores.
The weapon formed will generally be a spear, although it is possible to form other kinds bladed weapons.
While it is possible for Raphael to use these weapons as regular ones, their true power lies in being 'shot' at the enemy at high speeds.
Unlike Orb this power does physical damage as well as psychic damage. Due to that, the weapons do not share the intangible properties that the Orbs have.

Hey! Listen!
Did someone say something? Sub?
I'm happy with my powers
they label me a villain cause of how I express my feelings
Not quite yet.
..But I'm tempted to make Drake make it a habit to acquire/seal organs from bosses/enemies, and implant them in himself/enemies, to temporarily borrow a bit of their powers, via his Embalmers shop thing.
...Clearly, he will loan Tandra the power of...Umm...I don't know.
Or, when Drake and Tandra get separated from the group, and both are severly injured, Drake will use KING OF THE EMBALMERS SHOP to substitute his heart for hers--He's clearly not got nearly enough energy to heal his numerous wounds in this scenario--and thus, Tandra gets all of his powers for one brief, shining moment, and uses it to....
I don't know. Punch their soul to fucking death. That sounds about right. Drake has like three of his five soul attacks, so yeah.

Rafi's new stats:
Brawn: 2
Speed: 2
Agility: 5
Perception: 15
Power: 20
Skill: 10
Rafi's new technique:
The Spider's Gambit - With but a thought, Rafi is able to toss a deep pitfall in the on any surface near his enemies. Inside each pitfall lies an electrified web that can temporarily stun the opponent as well as a mystical pissed off giant Leopard Osebo waiting below to tear a chunk out of whoever falls in. The pitfall is (usually) visible to his allies and concealed to his enemies, though they will feel an alert sense of danger anytime he creates the pitfall. He can only create one of these pitfalls at a time.

Because today is one of those days where I'm not my normal witty self and I don't have really anything prepared for the blog, I do have a bunch of Christmas randoms, so here you go:
*Lyrical dancing to Christmas music is much harder than it seems. And requires a warm up and stretch (must remember that for next time).
*There are no calories if you eat Christmas cookies from other peoples plates.
*While wrapping presents, a glass of red wine helps.
*Electrical tape, although is tape, does not look good on Christmas presents and requires a reasonable explanation on Christmas morning (so be prepared).
*Candy for stockings is meant for stockings--not late not indulgences that requires another trip to the store.
*When you hear your favorite Christmas song, don't be afraid to sing it out loud--even if it is in the middle of the Men's clothing department.
*If you're shopping with your significant other and you each have your own shopping cart, it is totally acceptable to play bumper carts in the store (trust me on this one).
I hope this list of Christmas randoms caused more harm than good--wait I mean the other way around ;)
I'm leaving you with a fun Christmas portrait of two sisters that came in the studio. Gotta love holiday portraits. Have a good one!

F. Mauritius
The Mauritian Mediation Division began hearing cases in January 2011, pursuant to a 2009 amendment, granting the Supreme Court jurisdiction to mediate civil cases. The goal of the Mediation Division, as stated by Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam, is to hear most if not all commercial cases prior to trial.
The Divorce and Mutual Separation Act became law in April 2011. Under the new law, a spouse may request a divorce if the couple has lived separately for three years instead of five and allows for divorce by mutual consent. The judge may refuse to grant the divorce if it would adversely affect the children or a spouse.
On May 13, the Mauritian President assented to the Asset Recovery Act, which permits the Enforcement Authority to request an order from the courts to confiscate or prevent the disposal of assets used in or gained from criminal or terrorist activity, in conjunction with a criminal case. In the absence of a criminal case, the Enforcement Authority may receive similar orders if it can persuade the court that the subject illegally obtained the assets. The Act applies to any prohibited activity committed abroad and provides for international cooperation.

For many families, summer is a time to relax, have fun, and just be together. However, for a growing number of families, it is also a time to say goodbye to the kids. As many children have free time in the summer, the family may choose for them to go do a variety of things.
Some children will go to a day camp in the summer. This is generally not as difficult for the child or the parents to handle as other summer fun options. Since the child comes home in the evening, for many it feels no different than going to school (though it is a lot more fun!).
Other times, a child will go to a camp where they do not come home in the evenings. These summer camps can be more difficult for the child and the parents. If it is the first time that your child is going away to camp, you may find yourself becoming stressed or anxious. Remember that this is a milestone in your child's life.
If you have family that lives in a different part of the country, or even the world, than you, you may find yourself choosing to send your child to spend some time with them in the summer. This is a great way for a child to get to know their family, and even learn about different cultures.
When your child goes away for part of the summer, keep in mind that this is a huge milestone for them, and for you. The experiences that they will have far out way the anxiety that you may feel.

This is actually from a 2011 shoot that garnered substantial heat all across the board, was taken down, but then channeled its inner Chumawamba and got back up again. This just released 'Pin Up Special,' some pretty phenomenal secondary content, features the two hotties being all prancy in their lingerie for no other reason that to be all prancy in lingerie (aka the best reason).

Colorado State University has opened new doors in downtown Denver as part of a strategic effort to better serve and engage its 43,000 Denver-area alumni as well as the larger metro Denver community.
Nearly two years ago, CSU began realigning existing staff and placing them in Denver to build a strategic, coordinated approach to Denver-area activities. Alumni, athletics, corporate relations, donor development, public relations and marketing representatives are helping lead this effort. This new effort joins CSU's Executive MBA and Continuing Education, which have been offering courses in Denver for more than 20 years.
The collaboration, called the "Denver Initiative," was created to forge a stronger connection with alumni and friends of the University who are in the Denver metropolitan area. The CSU staff in Denver helps connect CSU colleges, departments, faculty and students with opportunities in Denver for increased exposure, alumni engagement, donor development and corporate relations.
Colorado State University and CSU Ventures have created CSU Fund I LLC, a private equity investment fund to help advance early-stage companies associated with CSU.
CSU Fund I held its final close March 31. The fund has already made one investment and is evaluating several other investment opportunities. The fund is managed by CSU Management Corp., a subsidiary of the private, non-profit CSU Ventures Inc., which helps the university to commercialize new research innovations associated with business development, global partnerships and critical commercialization activities.
"This resource offers a critical piece of the puzzle for accelerating our cutting-edge research," said Tony Frank, President of Colorado State University. "We are pleased that investors see the promise in Colorado State's faculty and research excellence. Few universities have initiated this type of fund, which says a lot about the potential impact, success and commercial value of our programs as well as investors' support of CSU."
Colorado State University experienced an increase in donors and dollars raised in the past year – bucking a national trend of average declines topping 13 percent at U.S. public research universities.
Colorado State is one of a few colleges and universities that have seen an increase in number of donors (17 percent) and dollars raised (6.6 percent) from fiscal year 2009. CSU also has seen a sizable increase in overall alumni engagement, alumni volunteers and alumni association membership.
"The CSU community always rises to a challenge, and our students, alumni, and donors have done an outstanding job rallying support and building momentum for the university's fundraising goals," said President Tony Frank. "They've helped to tell the CSU story and let people know that their donations to Colorado State University really do make a difference and change lives. Even during tough economic times, people want to do what they can to help create jobs and opportunity, and CSU has a long tradition of serving our state, generating economic prosperity, and educating leaders for our communities."

It is /way/ too easy to screw up PAM configuration and get something that doesn't work, or, worse something which gives every appearance of working but turns out to inadvertently let anyone into service X with root privilges by providing a blank username and password.
If PAM is the standard to which stacked modules will be held, they're never going to get into the Linux kernel.

If you believe that this is the case you should have no objection to LSM stacking as you will only want to use these major frameworks that have picked things up from the small players anyway.
the rest of us who are interested in multiple small solutions that we can understand will be your beta testers for these small modules before they can get picked up.
if the only way to try something new is to either abandon all protection from anything else, or wait until the idea gets picked up in the big framework (without anyone being able to test it until then) you have very little testing of new things

The HTC One X is a great phone with a terrible name.
In fact, it might be, depending on your tastes, the best phone with the worst name. Or, if you are not as offended by the lifeless, metallic clank of the lab-prototype-sounding moniker "One X," we might just call it this: one of the best phones you can buy, period, regardless of name.
On AT&T, the One X is the best Android smartphone out there, topping the Galaxy SII (due for an update in May; now is NOT a good time to buy a Galaxy SII). It is also a strong competitor of the iPhone 4S for the crown of best smartphone PERIOD, on any carrier, bolstered by a beautiful large screen, a top-of-the-line camera and the powerful HTC-infused Android operating system. Some might be turned off by the Shaq-optimized screen size -- 4.7 inches -- but if you have "big screen envy," as a co-worker of mine recently put it, you should try out the One X first (and then the Galaxy Nexus, and then the Droid Razr Maxx).
The name "One X" might be forgettable and uninspiring, but the phone itself is not. Where's the revival of the "Incredible" line when you need it?
You see, "One X" makes me think of many, many things: Wacky robots from the '70s, experimental pharmaceuticals, high school algebra. None of these things call to mind a top-of-the-line smartphone that is fresh and exciting.
I keep turning the "One X" name around in my head, searching for meaning. Here's what it makes me think of, for better or for worse:
X1: In 1948, the Bell X1 became the first aircraft to go the speed of sound, and though the HTC One X isn't supersonic, it is fast. Its data speeds on AT&T's 4G LTE network regularly dwarfed those of the iPhone 4S (on AT&T's quote-unquote "4G" HSPA+ network) in New York City. The full results of my speed tests are below, but the LTE service was appreciably faster on downloads and uploads.
Touchscreen responsiveness is solid, though still lags slightly behind the Lumia 900 and the iPhone 4S. For an Android smartphone, however, it's among the best. The 1.5 GHz dual-core processor seemed up to the task, loading the camera, webpages, and all of my applications quickly. Smartphone buyers should be aware, however, that Android phones with quad-core processors, which promise to be even faster, should be out within a few months, starting with the Galaxy S III.
All told, the One X is a pretty fast phone. Not Chuck-Yeager-in-a-flight-suit fast, but fast.
Windex: Windex is a popular glass cleaner that comes in blue liquid form and smells like -- well, like clean windows. You'd need a lot of Windex to clean the glass screen of the HTC One X, which is an immense 4.7 inches and super sharp. Viewing photos, websites and videos is more attractive on this larger display, though some will no doubt be turned off by the size of the phone compared to smaller models like the iPhone 4S.
That's a personal preference, I suppose; I got used to the size quickly. It helps that the One X is, despite its huge screen, so thin and light. It's a couple of grams less than the iPhone 4S and is 0.4 mm thinner. If you're going to complain about anything in the design, it might be about the camera hump on the back of the phone, protruding from the otherwise flattened body like a big seeing-eye pimple.
I kind of like the look -- it's a real stylistic differentiator, at the very least -- though some might poo-poo it, I know. But when it gets you photos that look this good...
Three, Two, One...X!: I keep going back and forth between which phone has the best camera: the iPhone 4S or the HTC One X. Colors really burst on the One X in a way they do not on the iPhone; next to each other, it's like the One X camera is living in a Gushers commercial and the iPhone camera is living in gray-cloud-land. Definition on the two cameras seems to be roughly even, though I did have a problem getting the One X's camera in focus while using flash in a dark room.
In terms of features, the One X's camera clearly outpaces that of the iPhone 4S, as it's pre-loaded with filters, a better editing suite, burst photography, slow-mo and panorama modes and shooting scene configuration. As for which one actually takes better photos, I'd take the One X in the daytime and the 4S at night.
Skrillex: Skrillex is a popular DJ whose songs all feature a signature sound: "ZHOOP ZHOOP ZHOOP ZHOOPZHOOPZHOOP ZHOOOOOOOP." The One X comes pre-loaded with Beats Audio integrated across all audio players. As I've written before, it's a nice enhancement, but it's not the game-changer that HTC thinks it is. Moving on, lest I get a Skrillex song stuck in my head.
One 'X': In English, an 'X' can denote a mark against something or an incorrect response. In the past, the big mark against HTC phones was the awful battery life, due to the bright screens and the battery-sucking 4G LTE. Good news, road warriors: HTC no longer means horrendous battery life. With the One X, HTC has been upgraded to acceptable.
In my tests, I got between 10 to 12 hours on the One X through moderate use from a full charge. It was enough to get me from 9 to 5 and would generally run out around dinner time. It's not what you'll get from other premium AT&T options like the iPhone 4S or Galaxy SII, but that's a totally reasonable amount of battery life to expect from a 4G smartphone with a 4.7-inch screen.
So, then, what is the one 'X' against the One X? Well, it's not a smartphone for those who consider themselves non-conversant in tech -- the Lumia 900 and iPhone 4S are better options for casual buyers and users. Those used to Android might be disappointed that the battery is not removable and that there is no SD slot for additional memory or HDMI-out port for showing the contents of your display on a large screen.
Which is not to say that this is not a great phone -- it is. One of the best you can buy, if you're looking for a powerful, do-everything handset. Android 4.0, and its widgets, and close Google integration, and customization capabilities, and improved design, represent the zenith of mobile operating systems right now. This is a phone for power users, geeks, tinkerers photographers, those who are never far from their smartphone and want to do everything from the gadget in their pockets.
A rose by any other name is just as sweet, and the One X by any other name would be just as high an achievement. The One X is one excellent smartphone, with one exquisite screen, one extraordinary camera and one exemplary operating system. If only we could do something about that one execrable flaw -- its name -- we might be in business.

Really Sensitive Mouse Button
Likes # 0
Posted April 13, 2011 at 7:19PM
I own a Toshiba Satellite A300-1MC.
Recently, the mousepad left click has been really sensitive. What I mean is, I barely need to touch the button and it registers a "click" without even pressing it.
You can imagine how annoying this can get. Sometimes, I click and it registers a "double-click" or even more!
Now I have tried fiddling around with the settings and it makes no difference. This is purely a hardware issue. Plus when I use a different mouse via USB port, the settings are fine.
I just wondered what on Earth could cause this and if there is anyway to fix it. I am scared to take the button off cos it is quite firmly fixed. It has been going on for a while and I have kind of accepted that I will always need an extra mouse, but I have been thinking, why? Why is this happening.
Thanks for your help.
