A vast, densely packed bookcase may still be a status symbol for some, but in small Tokyo apartments it's simply not practical. Whilst the arrival of the iPad looked set to solve the problem, Yusuke Ohki soon discovered that an iPad without e-books wasn't much of a solution. Taking matters into his own hands, he scanned all 2,000 books in his library onto his iPad. Now, six months later, he is helping others do the same through Bookscan.
I have no idea what the Japanese says, but it looks like this is the process:
A book scan costs 10 yen for a 350 page book. That's about $4.

We had a little bit of time to hang out and visit before the races started. I always enjoy this time to chat with everyone and get to know more people in this trail running community which is very new to me. I also ran into some friends from our Run Club who were there for the sport course and also had their little daughter running in the kids race too.
I ended up with an official time of 2:13 and change so I a) finished the race b) definitely had fun and c) came in 4th from last again so I guess I made that goal too. We hung around for a little while before heading off for Solana's house and some pool time.
We had a quick stop at the Salomon store in West Van to pick up free buffs they were giving out if you showed your race bib. We then made our way to Solana's place for a yummy BBQ lunch and lots of time to relax in the sun.
The pool wasn't quite an ice bath but it still felt good on my very sore legs from trudging up all those hills. I could tell I'd be sore the next morning which was unfortunate because our clinic run was 19km the next day (despite the soreness, it turned out just fine though!)
After everyone left Solana and I hung out a bit longer, tired from the race and all the sun. So what else would two tired girls do? Go out for sushi to cap off the day, of course! We had a great dinner at Solana's favorite sushi place and it was the perfect end to a very long, tiring but fun day.

We have an event at the IP/Quad every year, about 50 - 70 attendees and I organize it so I get the complaints. I have never received a complaint from any attendee nor have I ever experienced bed bugs while staying there myself. I have gotten complaints about the old rooms, maybe the smoky smell when there should not be, but never bed bugs!
This will be our eleventh year at the IP/Quad and I have to say, they are very easy people to communicate with, are extremely accommodating and even gua
ranteed our party renovated rooms for our stay this year. That's customer service.
You know a hotel is good to their people when you see the same people again and again. Rick and Roki always help us, Armando helps with our catered event. These guys have been there since we began so it's like going home for us.
I've got no complaints with the good old IP/Quad.
Nancy on 03/21/2014
Hi My name is Nancy just want to share my experience with the world on how i got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 4 years with 3 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had a fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause i loved him with all my heart and didn't want to loose him but everything just didn't work out… he moved out of t
he house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster firstname.lastname@example.com who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 7 days he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can email him email@example.com.

We stayed there in September 2013. We were in room 12 penthouse tower 5. I awoke early in the morning by my wife hysterical with bed bugs on her legs and multiple bites on her legs and arm. I looked very close and saw one on her shirt. We took a picture of the bugs and bites and made a report. They did not seem to really care and did not want to go up and see the one we killed and was still on the pillow. They did move us to another room. They gave us a number to call but all you get is a answer
ing machine and no call backs. I can see now they don't care about people that have problems and only care about getting the rooms filled. Very sad we liked the hotel up until this happened. I just hope they took care of this room before someone else has to go through this. We had to treat all our things. Tossed our luggage to avoid transporting them to our home. I just wish they would have cared.

BED BUGS!!! The Quad! 5th floor, tower 1. I stayed Three nights and after day two over 50 bites showed up on my body, not only is it a health hazard it nearly ruined my trip to Vegas. I was humiliated with bites on my face neck and arms but I was so itchy I couldn't enjoy my time there. When I got home I searched my luggage and found a dead one on the bottom of my bag. I have pictures of my bites and evidence of one in a plastic bag. If they don't get back to me I am going to health department.
I deserve not only my money back but an apology for lack of concern. We filed a report and are waiting to receive a call back from management.. DL#20131035092
HG on 01/24/2013
We stay at the IP (Quad) twice a year, never had an incident with bedbugs. Our last visit was 12/24-1/2/13, penthouse. We stay in the penthouse rooms every visit. Never an issue.
We travel a great deal and I've reported 2 hotels in the last year but never the IP.
Good Luck!

very odd that there are so many bed bug reports and all the ones that say no problems are from "anonymous"

Just returned from a Christmas vacation and all members of our party (3 rooms) noticed bits. We were in 5 rooms in total three in tower 3 and 2 in tower 2. We had been moved after our first night so not exactly sure what rooms were infected. Total of 7 adults in our party.
We complained to the front desk when we left but the manager "Cody" was not interested in hearing our concern.
The hotel was extreemly dirty.

Stayed here 8/12 and 8/13. I have a delayed reaction to bed bug bites, apparently, and living in an area where it regularly gets over 100 degrees, have never come in contact with them before - I thought they were just part of that cute little rhyme you tell kids! Well, I stayed here on Sunday and Monday (I forget now which room, but it was in the smoking tower, with the elevators just to the right of check in). It was a couple months after returning home that I noticed the bed bugs, and didn't t
hink they could have come from my Vegas stay until I realized, I had placed all my dirty clothes from the trip in a plastic bag and tied it shut, and just left it on my floor upon my return. That's where it stayed for several weeks, until I had time to wash the items. I washed a load of lights and left the dark in the bag, then had to go to work and didn'thave time to wash the rest of the clothes for several days. The bag remained open, right next to my couch. Well, three weeks after that, I find a bug moving super fast and thought it was a roach. One of my downstairs neighbors has a roach problem, so I see one from time to time (they ALWAYS freak me out). But when I squashed it, it squirted red everywhere, and I knew it wasn't a roach. Now I wish it had been. I lay on my couch a lot, sometimes fall asleep on it, so that's where the problem started but I unwittingly spread it to my bed. I live in an old building and now am terrified that my neighbors whom I love and consider friends will get infested. I am on day 5 of the cleanup and remediation of these horrific, bloodsucking beasts, have spent over 300 in cleaning and pesticide supplies, mattress covers, 91% alcohol, diatomaceous earth, trash bags, caulking and tape, not to mention the cost of the demolition crew that are coming in the morning to remove over 2k worth of infested furniture - AND the cost of replacing my couch, chair, computer chair, bedroom furniture and cat tree. I didn't want to stay at (another more expensive hotel I don't want to mention by name because I don't want anyone to think this is a scare tactic designed to sway people into booking somewhere specific - I know any hotel can have bed bugs) anyway, I didn't want to stay there because it was $100 more per night. Now, I wish I had just paid that. Cuz, holy crap, in supplies, lost furniture, replacement furniture and lost work to deal with this, I could have treated myself to a week in Europe! Not to mention that I STILL have to pay an exterminator to come out. And this doesn't count the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the wary looks from my boss thinking I'm a pariah , or the 12 to 16 hours a day of manual labor, laundromat frenzy, vacuuming, spraying, scrubbing,itching, scratching, jumping on any piece of lint or dust like it were a vampire....
Unfortunately, days before this infestation broke out, I booked another stay at imperial palace, which is non-refundable. I am not sure if I should just chalk that money up as one more expense or let them know when I check in about my last experience and then thoroughly check the bed, frame, carpet, and take along a travel spray and my new incessantly-googled knowledge about bed bugs.
I don't blame the hotel, necessarily- with the rate of turnover,i can't imagine it's easy to regulate bed bugs, and maids who get paid crap (and are at the highest risk for taking them home to their own families) should not be the ones who have to look out for them. But I do think the hotel should make regular inspections for them. I don't know if they do - maybe I was just unlucky - but I've stayed in some real sh*t dives off the strip dozens of times and never come home with bed bugs.
Nani on 06/05/2012
I've been a returning guest at Imperial Palace (IP) for over 3 years now and have never had a bug problem period. My last stay at IP was on 5/28/12 through 6/1/12. We stay on the 14 floor in room 1495. NO BED BUGS!!!! Also stayed on the 2nd floor, in front of the pool, in December and had no problems either.
I am highly allergic to bed bug bites, so it is very important to me that I stay in a bed bug free environment. Here are some tips for avoiding bed bugs when staying at a hotel/motel/in
1) Research the hotel/motel/inn before booking for any bed bug problems or reports.
2) Upon arriving, check the mattress, box spring, bed corners, and dresser drawers for bed bugs and bed bug eggs (black little specks).
3) Place dirty clothes in a sealed plastic bag to avoid bug contamination.
4) Bed bugs are nocturnal. They usually come out for feeding between 2am and 4am. If you can avoid staying in your hotel room between these hours you are guaranteed to avoid any bed bug bites. This shouldn't be too hard to do in a city like Las Vegas.
5) It is easy to take bed bugs home with you in your luggage. To avoid this place the luggage in the blazing hot sun for a few hours. Bed bugs cannot survive extremely hot temperatures. It is also recommended you wash your clothes with hot water and heat dry them.

My husband and I stayed at the Bellagio in room 24630 from 5/27-5/29/012. I woke up with bed bug bites all over my legs and torso. We really like this property and stay here every time we visit Vegas. Unfortunately, we will be staying elsewhere in the future.

We stayed at the Imperial Palace from March 7-12, 2012. No bedbugs. Room was neat and clean. We noticed that the maids had sheets and blankets in a sealed plastic container when they changed the sheets on other people's beds, obviously to reduce the chance of bugs, etc. In reading through this registry it appears that all hotels are subject to bedbugs. You can pay a lot to stay in a fancy place if you're going to sit in the room all day. If you're seeing the sites and out of the room most
of the time, this is the place to stay.
Andy on 02/01/2012
Stayed at the Imperial Palace
Jan 9th -13th..
I did register a complaint and the management took my statement..ref# DL20120112144

My wife and I stayed at the IP in early December for 4 nights. We were in one of the 'luv tub' suites on the 13th floor (room 1315, to be exact). Had no sign of bedbugs...no bites. Was very happy with the hotel in general.

My husband and I stayed in Imperial Palace feb/2010 and have had absolutely no bug bites whatsoever. My brother and his wife along with a couple of friends stayed there as well and had ano problems. The rooms are a little outdated but we had a great time and NO BUG BITES. We have stayed there every year for the last 4 years and no problems. Cant remember the room # but we were on the 9th floor. My brother and friends were all on different floors and no problems.John and Linda from Edmonton

We stayed 9/26/11 - 9/30/11 in tower 5 room 1669 and had no problems with bed bugs. We even used flashlights looking for bed bugs when we first arrived but could not find anything, the room was very clean.

stayed at Hotel on September 15, 2011. Next morning I noticed several bites on my arm. Over several days bites started to appear over my uppter body and on my legs. Went to Physician who told me I was bitten by bed bugs. Called Hotel and they filed report and told me they would get back to be in several days. Have not heard from them in a week and have not returned phone calls.
Had to throw out suit cases and clothes. The risk management employee gave me the third degree and told me they would
respond in a few days.

Angela on 09/02/2011
I stayed at this hotel on the weekend of March 19, 2011. My room was clean no reports of bed bugs. The reason I picked this hotel to stay is because they were no reports of bed bugs. Now I see there is. :(
Tia on 08/29/2011
Stayed in room 14114 in the 1 and 2 towers of imperial palace from 08/26-08/29. Had a few friends sharing the room with me and one of the friends got bug bites. Unsure if they were bed bugs. Didn't investigate because he was the only one who got bit and the only one who slept on the floor.
Didn't put my suitcase on the floor or bed and only hung up my clothes. Since checking this website and watching bedbug apocalypse on tv, I should have been more aware. I am still paranoid I may have broug
ht them home. Will keep on the look out at my house for any signs. I never want bedbugs in my home.
PWS on 08/15/2011
We stayed at the IP both on 8/2/11 in Penthouse 22 and again 8/8/8-8/10 on the tenth floor, tower 5 and had absolutely no problems either time.

Portrait, but of whom? (PoemTalk #10)
Gertrude Stein, 'Christian Bérard'
"Stein leaves no doubt…that she's doing portraits in the same way that Picasso and Braque are doing portraits." So says Jerome Rothenberg — very helpfully — in the first minute of our discussion of Gertrude Stein's "Christian Bérard." PennSound's Stein page includes a recording made in New York during the winter of 1934-35 of the first page of the poem as it appeared in Portraits & Prayers, the Random House volume that had just been published. The portrait of Bérard — a friend of Stein's, a painter and set designer and frequenter of her salon — had been written in 1928.
But back to Jerry's statement, meant to get us to talk about non-representational depictions, for (the first line of the poem), "Eating is her subject. / While eating is her subject. / Where eating is her subject" certainly does suggest, emphatically, that neither Bérard nor anyone else is the subject of the poem.
Bob Perelman joined us for PoemTalk #10 and noticed that when Jerry read the poem aloud for us he erred in reading the line, "She ate a thin ham and its sauce." Jerry said "name" instead of "sauce" and Bob persuasively runs with that apt substitution. This is a poem about the named and not-named — or, as Lee Ann Brown, our third PoemTalker this time, noted, how language for Stein is something that can be eaten and, in that sense, purely enjoyed, taken in, consumed, made an embodiment.
I kept pushing my conversants to find an at least winking reference to Bérard, at least in the avoidance of him. We know that he was considered an improvisatory genius (in stage design) and had irresistible personal charm despite "his apparent indifference to personal hygiene."[1] He cut quite a figure in the Stein/Toklas flat, especially at dinnertime. Yet about Bérard's paintings, Stein quipped: "They are almost something and then they are just not."[2] This there/not-there quality of her subject's art — especially when contrasted with Picasso's and Braque's portraiture (the real instigation of the poem) — seems replicated in the poem's relationship to portraiture itself.
Such winking Paris-insider references aside — they become mere literary-historical background — we four took pleasure in the pleasure Stein obvious took here, word by word. Bob's sense of the punning "Withdraw" (pull back, yes; but also, draw one kind of portrait while withdraw another kind), Lee Ann's and Jerry's sense of child-like play on sounds, our all getting hungry during a late-afternoon talk about a poem dwelling upon "the difference between steaming and roasting," "breaded veal and grapes," "pigeon and a souffle"…these are elements of a language that is like food: delicious, to be taken in. Stein is perhaps to the literary critic as the lover of meals is to the foodie. The foodie's irony: there's talk about food and then there is its realist purpose. What if language were really seen in such a way? We'd all be happier.
PT #10 was directed and edited by Steve McLaughlin and recorded in the Arts Café of the Kelly Writers House. Our poem is available as a free, downloadable mp3 recording on PennSound.

The beginnings concept (PoemTalk #9)
John Ashbery, 'Crossroads in the Past'
Our PoemTalkers — this time, Gregory Djanikian, Tom Devaney and Jessica Lowenthal — gathered to talk about a late poem by John Ashbery, "Crossroads in the Past," from his book Your Name Here (2000). Amid the usual Ashberyean ontological bounty, here's a poem that disentangles the crossed lines of narrative middles and ends (and beginnings). Straightens things out, or at least imagines the goodness of such straightness. And indulges in a nostalgia for the way things were at the start.
Is it age — or the loss of a loved one — that draws an anti-narrative poet to beginnings at the end? That, in short, is the question we posed of this poem. And does such a thing undermine a career-long devotion to middles with implied pre-stories? The wind blows in the direction it blows, and can't be "wrong." What about a "relationship"? Can — or should — a relationship be talked back to its beginnings, a narrative housecleaning?
Jessica and Greg decided finally that the apparently definitive ending dead-ends in an obvious imagery and sentiment. Tom and Al disagreed, seeing the poem as thus a meta-poem: a poem about the poet who has reached a point where he must re-imagine "the beginnings concept" and who realizes its failure.
John Ashbery read this poem as a Kelly Writers House Fellow in the spring of 2002. We have video recordings of the reading and an interview/conversation moderated by Al Filreis.
Here is a link to the Poetry Foundation's PoemTalk page.
Here is PennSound's John Ashbery page. This page has grown enormously in recent weeks, as PennSound becomes the prime available-for-download repository of audio recordings of this great contemporary poet. Here is a link to Ashbery's reading of our poem, "Crossroads in the Past."

Grease is the word (PoemTalk #8)
Rae Armantrout, 'The Way'
This time the PoemTalkers were Ron Silliman, Rachel Blau DuPlessis and Charles Bernstein, and our poem was Rae Armantrout's "The Way." Charles had already spoken with Rae about this poem briefly during their interview in the Close Listening series, so we went into our convo knowing that Rae sees the poem as having two compositional parts—a first part consisting of found phrases, items from the poet's notebook of linguistic observations, a collage of voices, no fixed I. "I am here" is Jesus revealed to you in a pew, but I is also a poem's prospective speaker: someone saying something tautological. Where else would you be, at the moment, than here? The second half, again according to the poet—revealingly or not—is a quasi-personal recollection: being read to as a child, getting lost in a story and thus feeling "abandoned" by the mother who gave her the gift of books. Gretel-like, does she "come upon" these trees, this wood, each time diving into the wreck of each new now-nonnarrative venture? The most relevant of such ventures being...this poem itself? Who is lost in it? Have we lost the poem's speaker, only to come upon her again (and again)?
Charles chants lyrics from Grease: Grease is the way I am feeling. Rachel reminds us that "I am here" can also read as "Kilroy was here" does — a marker left by someone who came randomly before. Ron helps us focus on the ending: a grand vision expected, a definitive something, the light coming down through the trees, and what we get is…"again." The sort of thing that keeps happening over and over. "Once" (as in "once upon a time") in "once again" (the fairy tale's synchronicity).
The Way
Card in pew pocket
"I am here."
I made only one statement
because of a bad winter.
Grease is the word; grease
is the way
I am feeling.
Real life emergencies or
flubbing behind the scenes.
As a child,
I was abandoned
in a story
made of trees.
Here's the small
of this clearing
come "upon" "again"
Here is Armantrout's PennSound page, and here is the 27-second mp3 recording of "The Way."
PoemTalk #8 was recorded in studio 111 of the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing at the University of Pennsylvania. Our director and engineer was Steve McLaughlin.
Now is the time (PoemTalk #7)
Jerome Rothenberg, 'A Paradise of Poets'
Bob Holman spent a few hours away from the at-times paradisal Bowery Poetry Club to help us (PoemTalk regulars Jessica Lowenthal and Randall Couch) figure out what sort of beloved community Jerome Rothenberg had in mind when he wrote his possibly programmatic poem, "A Paradise of Poets." He published this short poem in a volume called Seedings and only then, a little later, published the book called A Paradise of Poets (which lacks the title poem). Confused? Please don't be. The poem is a working out of the major preoccupying themes of the book that followed.
And what a book it is! In A Paradise of Poets we re-visit Paradise…err, sorry…Paris, where the ghosts of JR's modernist forebearers (the generation of 1910, he says) appear to him in the guise of Left Bank street people, well dressed but destitute. He anticipates his own demise; he is lonely yet surrounded by the voices of poets he admires. And he realizes that a paradise of poets is only possible when one poet's line stops just as the next poet's line continues, a "line" indeed, as in lineage.
Bob, Jessica and Randall agree in our discussion that this is a heartfelt conclusion and that it must come in stages, beginning with the sort of poetic narcissism under the spell of which the poet believes that no one else can write his poem, even as he is writing over (literally on top of) that of his predecessor.
The world will not end when he does.
Asserting the centrality of such connectedness, Jerome Rothenberg, it was said by Allen Ginsberg, saved us all twenty years. Or, as Bob Holman put it, "He was Google before there was Google."
A Paradise of Poets
He takes a book down from his shelf & scribbles across
a page of text: I am the final one. This means the world will
end when he does.
In the Inferno, Dante considers a Paradise of Poets & calls
it Limbo.
Foolishly he thinks his place is elswhere.
Now the time has come to write a poem about a Paradise of
Here is the recording of the poem (mp3), and here is a link to PennSound's ample Rothenberg page. Of course JR is widely admired as one of the great performers of his and others' poetry.
Our poem was recorded for the Radio Readings Project on April 24, 1999. PoemTalk's director, engineer and editor for this episode was Steve McLaughlin.
Hold your breath and gag (PoemTalk #6)
Jaap Blonk, 'What the President Will Say and Do'
It's easy to imagine that when Tracie Morris (the performer and musical poet) and Kenny Goldsmith (father of Ubuweb, proponent of uncreative writing) joined me and Joshua Schuster as PoemTalkers there would be some noise, pure noise, and indeed there was. So why not go all the way and make our poem a sound poem: Jaap Blonk's insistently sounded performance of the phrase that is the title of a book by Madeline Gins. What the president will say and do. What, indeed?
Joshua and Kenny and I had seen and heard Blonk perform the piece in the very room where we recorded this episode of PoemTalk; Tracie and Kenny had heard him do it for the first time, at a conference in L.A. where Gins was in the audience. So we had this one covered from all sides.
"So," I asked, "what do you think is the deficiency of having only an audio recording of this?" I was thinking of Blonk's strained reddening face and neck toward the end of the piece: a giant of a man holding his breath and choking on words. Kenny's response to this question: "I don't think there's any deficiency, because he's such a good performer that the audio component of the performance carries the day. And if you're lucky enough to see him it's even more incredible in a different way, but I don't think anything is lost without him being there." Tracie agrees: "You listen. You just listen. There are so many great things he's doing with that piece."
So do, please, listen. Listen to us, yes, but listen especially to Blonk.
Tracie hears patriotic marching in the percussive deformation of the sound of the words (and specifically hears Sousa). Josh hear resonances with presidential politics (to which Tracie adds that she also hears chickens). That leads Josh and me to take some advantage of an apparent split in the soundy camp between the overtly political music poet (Tracie) and the pleasure-seeking all-words-are-already-political gatherer of verbal ambience (Kenny). The political/aesthetic binarism collapses rather quickly, but it's fun (and edifying) while it lasts.
Our recording of Jaap Blonk was made on November 11, 2004 at the Kelly Writers House, recorded by Chris Mustazza and now part of the PennSound archive. Kenny's UbuWeb has a wonderful Blonk page, replete with a bibliography.
As always, Steve McLaughlin was our director and our editor.

And Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA) & John Carradine(David n Keith's dad) in it toooooo!
I've seen a few different films of this timeless story, but i agree with those who have reviewed before me. It is by far the best i have ever seen. The classic movie factor is also there which makes up for lack of cgi (and is much better in my opinion.) When you think about when it was made i'm sure it was truely terrifying.
The first and best adaptation of Wells's "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Great performance by Charles Laughton, very atmospheric and, even if it's a little dated, cool make-up. A big inspiration to Devo ("Are we not men?"), who are interviewed on the extras.
Sound and Very well done old school sci-fi movie. I would recommend this movie for all to see. Well worth the price of admission to any theater.
Some really funny bits. Loved the drunk ship's captain belting Parker and throwing him overboard. And that 'Panther Woman' was hot! (lol) Delightfully cheezy eighty year old classic.
Much better than expected - a real classic. Are we not men?!
Creepy classic...
For what it's worth, it's not that bad...but not that great either.
A creepy, classic horror film that belongs alongside Dracula, Frankenstein, and Freaks.

Young Money - Bed Rock
Artist: Young Money
Featuring: Lloyd
Producer: Kane Beatz
Album: Young Money Fam
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 296 votes )
Lil Wayne is undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in hip-hop, but his Royal Weezyness is on a mission to expand his empire beyond himself and build a true Young Money movement. Hence Bed Rock, the second single by the collective Young Money family. Featuring verses from Wayne, Gudda Gudda, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga and Jae Millz, Bed Rock is a showcase for Young Money's considerable talent. (Side note: Omarion's vocals on the original were replaced up by Wayne's frequent collaborator Lloyd after Omarion was dropped from the label.) Will Bed Rock provide Wayne with the solid foundation he needs to turn his young roster into legit superstars? We'll find out when their unimaginatively titled album Young Money Fam drops this winter.

The Sega Dreamcast is the last console of Sega Enterprises, which was released in 1998 in Japan and 1999 in North-America and Europe. Since 2000 various freeware games are available thanks to the open source and free development kit KallistiOS. The Dreamcast is the one and only videogame console which makes it possible due the free development libraries like SDL to create software legal without using any Sega libraries. Three commercial games without Sega licence were released 2003 and 2004 this way. Still, there are publishers like www.dreamcast-scene.com or www.goatstore.com who even help out single programmers to release their software commercially on CD.

Tuesday, July 15, 2014Craig Leerman 07/15/14 12:01 PM,When done well, a live recording captures the energy and personality of the performance, along with the ambiance and (if desired) audience response. There are many different ways to record a live show, but regardless of the approach, a good recording starts with the right microphones, correctly placed. By "right" I'm referring to mics that fit the particular application, taking factors such as pickup pattern and SPL handling into account. Mics tend to be categorized as "live" and "studio."

Monday, July 14, 2014PSW Staff 07/14/14 10:09 AM,Perhaps more than any other pro audio component, microphones are a personal choice, subject to the specific preferences and goals of both users and sound techs/engineers. Manufacturers continue to create new mics in a wide range of formats, sizes, and price points, stemming from a healthy mix of innovative development, refinement of previous technologies, specialization of mics to specific applications, and changes in manufacturing. For decades, dynamic mics were pretty much the exclusive choice for live applications due to their… View this story

Unwanted desktop shortcuts
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 01-02-2005 - 6:50pm
I have recently had desktop shortcuts appear. This has happened before, always shortcuts to some kind of search page with labels such as Bingo, Travel,Poker Online etc. Always the same 7. I'm guessing they tie in somehow to previous searches I did in preparation for a trip to Vegas. Anyway, I usually just right click and remove them. This time I get nothing when I right click! I also had one appear months ago with a porn themed label. That one will not delete, or open either. So I dragged it to the very bottom right corner of the screen and left the smallest amount showing that I could. I can't even drag these new ones. They simply won't move. My son has tried to eliminate them too, without success. Help!
TIA, Ruth

As a user of younique products and the mother of a presenter, I am a total fan of the product. The 3D lashes when applied properly are awesome and are not clumpy...that only occurs if not applied correctly. I find that 1 or 2 coats are sufficient to get the desired look and actually I don't use a base coat of regular mascara. Very easy to apply, water resistant, and easily washes off with regular makekup remover. My eyelashes are healthier since using this product. Hate false eyelashes and have not found any other mascera that will make your eyes look prettier.
I get a beautiful, enhanced effect with my 3D lashes. Love them!
More reviews by Andkaatewaslike
First of all, I am *now* a younique rep but I wasn't when I got the mascara. I became a rep because I really loved the product THAT much. It's funny how nasty people are towards products being sold by other women as opposed to big brands. I've tried a million products I didn't care for and not once have I written a downright MEAN review or said that it was a "scam." There's a 14 day guarantee so you're not wasting money even if you DO hate it. Everyone in the world has different eyes. Some people might be bothered by this, some won't. I've used plenty of non fiber, brand name and drug store mascaras that have left me with red, watery, sore eyes. It just happens sometimes. Personally, I think if your lashes look clumpy or spidery, it's user error. Even some reps are guilty of that! It's a leaning curve. Like I tell my customers, this stuff is meant to replace false lashes. Even if it takes a little extra time, it's still more efficient and cost effective than falsies. And, in my opinion, WAY less irritating. If I get a fiber in my eye, it waters for a second and makes it's way out. When I wear false lashes, I'm uncomfortable ALL DAY! As far as propylene glycol is concerned, it's much safer than most chemicals used in cosmetics. It's considered food safe by the FDA and is probably in half the toiletries you own. It can be linked to increased reaction in people with sensitive skin or eczema, however as someone with sensitive skin, I can tell you that MOST things are linked to increased reaction in sensitive skin. If you aren't comfortable with it, by all means, don't buy it! But there's really nothing dangerous about propylene glycol, especially in such small amounts. Compare it to the main ingredients in your drug store mascara and see how it stacks up then... Bottom line, I love the mascara and I would whether I was a presenter or not.
with that said the reviewers here are right propylene glycol can be dangerous not for everyone, but alot as it is know to cause problems.The company claims all natural but it is not at least the transplant gel.yes the chemical is in other products so does that make it ok. ?
The fibers fall off while wearing and my eye were itchy much like a reaction from eyelash growth serums.
As far as length or volume yes it will give you that but so will other fiber mascaras or base coats.
The look was more tarantula like than anything , there really is a lot of steps, your own mascara, gel, fibers, gel again. Seriously a waste of time.
9 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was surprised I liked this as I expected my lashes to be clumpy and spidery like the photos I always see. I was given a free sample and did a review for a friendly rep. After the first coat I didn't notice much of a difference but on the second coat my lashes were noticeably longer & fuller! I won't wear it every day, but it's my go-to for special occasions. Easy to take off, but you need to take care in applying it, & follow the directions accordingly.
More reviews by sweetlikechoco
Didn't like Younique's 3D fiber lashes and I don't like Younique reps either.
I took a comparison photo of my eyes with Younique and another mascara. Younique gave me a bit of length but not much volume whatsoever. Anyway, I wore Youniqe for a whole day and my eye kinda felt like they were burning? I wasn't sure if it was the mascara or just my eye but it was only one eye with the Younique product on. The other eye with the other mascara was perfectly fine. I did my research and found out propylene glycol is a toxic ingredient which isn't suitable for those with sensitive eyes. Anyway, I got attacked by a whole bunch of Younique reps accusing me of lying. Why would I lie?? I'm an actual customer giving my feedback to others thinking it'd help them.
That got me fired up. So I made a video review/product comparison to prove how much Younique actually sucks. Again, they're disliking my video and leaving negative comments like saying "bullshit" etc etc. They have nothing to back up their claims about their competitor's product. They said the mascara (I compared Younique's with) burned their eyes but there's no toxic ingredient that says that. The mascara only has a few ingredients and Younique contains them all and includes more ingredients. I did more research on the people that commented. Yep, they're Younique representatives. Of course they are. So annoying.
I'm actually really surprised by the review by icestars (below) too because she is absolutely right!!! Wow. The world needs more smarter girls like her.
10 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love it for special occasions, but it's not worth it for every day wear. I don't have that kind of time. If you really want to try this, do yourself a favor and just pick up Essence Lash Powder from Ulta. It's just the fibers, so you'll need to apply a more liquidy mascara (maybe even a clear one, like the brow gel), apply the fibers, then cover with mascara. The only thing Younique has over Essence is the packaging. The Essence packaging is really annoying.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Holy fear mongering batman! Propylene Glycol is in most of your skincare and makeup...it's really not a bad ingredient. People are quite capable of using these products safely and they seem to every single day.
I had never heard of Younique until I read the "review" below (it was in the "new" reviews section). I then went to the Youtube and watched some videos, it seemed so cool! And, these ladies still had their eye sight! I know right?
Now I get that multilevel marketing is weak. They always try to get you to sell the stuff. I'm not sure we even have consultants here so I ordered mine on eBay. It came super fast and I got it for less than retail with shipping! Yay!
I like it. Straight up. If you don't put the little fibres in your eyeballs it doesn't irritate at all. It makes lashes look thick and long.
Editing to add: I have very thin, blonde lashes and my body hair is the same which is weird since I'm naturally brunette/dark red. But anyway, I've always just consigned myself to this lack of lashes. I hate false lashes, like I said, I have blonde lashes and most falsies are black so it's very obvious I'm wearing them. Until you've dealt with lashes like mine, you don't know what a pain it is to glomp tonnes of mascara on every day.
So, when people I've never met before suddenly start telling me they wish they had my lashes and people I know ask me wtf I'm doing with my lashes, you know something is up. I've NEVER been complimented on my lashes before and I'm in my 40s heh. Just not my best feature, to say the least. The only thing I'm doing differently is this mascara. I've been using this every single day since I got it. It doesn't take any time at all, one coat of regular mascara, one coat of Younique base, one wiggle of fibres, coat of base, done it takes me like two minutes.
It's not that expensive either when you consider that when the base runs out/dries up/is a month old, the fibres can still be used with regular mascara.
Don't assume everyone here sells this product. It is actually wonderful for those of us who really have a serious lack of volume or length.
No, I have not tried this product. THIS IS A WARNING for anyone who is going to try this product out!
You may have seen tons of Younique representatives on Instagram, shoving their products in your feed and pictures. Most commonly, the 3D mascara. My own beauty account (follow me @beautybylala! haha :D) has been pestered a few times. It looks amazing, and sounds amazing. They claim it to have no harsh chemicals and completely safe for your lashes. Throw away your falsies forever, because this mascara will change your lashes forever!
If you read other peoples' reviews on the 3D mascara here on MakeupAlley, you can see that it may have irritated their eyes! It's flakey and the fibers fall onto your face throughout the day. In other words, it's a no good product!
Not to mention, looking through pictures on some representatives' Instagrams... people's lashes look fake and spidery. Like tarantulas! Not exactly something I would get jealous over. Their lashes are incredibly clumpy and you can definitely tell that there is something on their lashes. The point of falsies is to make your lashes look longer, but not necessarily fake.
Younique's Moodstruck 3D fiber lash mascara does exactly that. I would rather have my tiny itty bitty short stick straight Asian lashes than tarantula lashes - and would definitely pass the fibers all over my face. Let's face it, that's NOT cute.
And the price? Maybe it is good quality, and maybe it does work wonders. But nearly $30 for a 'transplanting gel' and '3D fibers' doesn't seem so affordable. Especially when you have to purchase the mascara yourself and the end result looks Barbie fake. Sorry!
Lastly... how long will it take you to apply this product? Surely a long time! I have watched grav3yardgirl on YouTube and her 'does it work' video on this product. Maybe it worked for her (she has mega long lashes already), but it definitely took some time. Reading some reviews on MakeupAlley, it takes nearly 20 minutes? I don't have time for that in the morning!
Now please forgive me for this, but I'm going to drop the bomb. If you search the hashtag #youniquesucks on Instagram, you will find one post. And this is what they say (thank you @makeupartistla for spreading the news!):
"For those of you following the fiber lash trend, the transparent gel isn't natural. It contains Propylene Glycol which has been associated with irritant and allergic contact dermatitis as well as contact urticaria. Definitely not suitable for sensitive eyes. This explains my lashes falling out and eyes being itchy for days! I'm sticking to my #Maybelline #waterProof mascara!"
If in fact her statement is true, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS MASCARA! Your lashes are in jeopardy!

I really don't have long lashes at all. I've been trying to find a mascara that actually gives me results.
I used the fiber lash mascara by younique and I feel as though i'm wearing falsies when i'm not it's just the fibers. I feel girly, since I actually have eyelashes. I made a video with my results and review of the lashes. Check it out if you guys want to see my results.

Like others, I have a mixed relationship with this mascara. I don't hate it, but I don't necessarily love it.
It does do what it says but sometimes I find that the look is messy and difficult to achieve. I use a mascara (can't remember the name) that brushes out/separates the lashes before I use this, but I still find that it can look a bit haphazardly. Sometimes the fibers fall onto my face even though I've sealed it.
I think the price and packaging is ridiculous, and wonder if perhaps a similar effect could be achieved by using the beauty tip of coating lashes with face or baby powder. Which I haven't tried yet but should for a comparison. I bought mine on EBAY.
I don't mind the product and do use it (in fact I feel a bit insecure now about my lashes if I don't) but I'm not sure if I would buy it again. I'd heard that Heroine Mascara and Cherry Blossom fiber mascara is better, but both are just as expensive.
