Thanks guys, moved it to desktop and the level finally showed up when I played.
Which I find curious, but oh well.
Thank you, I was thinking of that, but I was too lazy to connect my external to find it. (I was spring cleaning my computer and sorted stuff went onto the external) I never had problems running it though, I just noticed that the characters that should have been japanese didn't suddenly appear correctly after I made the change, though future downloads of it did. (I wasn't expecting them to change, but its still nice to notice such things)
The scanner should be useful, but I wonder, since its in the shop, is it single play, or once bought always got? (reuseable, permanent or not) Even if its one way now, the actual release could change that...
Hey, actually posting on behalf of Erotan and mo2 ( the two guys who are working on this game! ) who sent me towards here.
Just an FYI: You need to be in Japanese unicode for this game to work. It has to make a successful save file to be able to let you play the first stage. Without such, only the shop is visible.
So to sum everything up and make it clear for everyone:
-You only play as our fine heroine in green, though there are 6 gals to use traps and outsmart from other games as a result!
-There are around 15 'normal' traps in all, with at least 5 'special' traps that are pretty powerful ( one maxes out lust, another can insta kill your target. One can transport them towards you, and even another gives you extra lifes! )
-The 'scouter' and traps, once bought, are forever usable. The 'Special' traps though are not.
-Monsters appear in selective rooms/stages to murk up with your item gathering, at least 5 different kinds!
Now onto the stuff you might not have known:
-The game is being sold on DLsite on 6/6/2013 for about $20 bucks. If you nab it in the first month, the game will 'reward' you with a starting 10,000 credits to get going with instead of the default 500.
-There is an English Translation already in the works by erotan and mo2. If you order it by DLsite, once the English translation becomes available, you can get it as an update for free.
If you guys have any questions on how to play, what does what, and the like. Please ask and I'll answer! If you have anything to pass on towards mo2 or erotan, I can even send such their way! =D
Thanks for the details lipucd. One thing, out of curiosity are there any more stages of clothing destruction in the full version?
Yes! You know that number in blue? That's your 'armor level'. In the demo, it caps at 2, but in the full game, it can drop all the way towards 0, or outright nude.
BTW, the 'Extreme' Difficulty makes it so you can't fight the girls head on ( you deal FAR less damage, and take a TON more ), instead forcing you to use traps, and monsters to defeat them. The reward for doing such is higher cash earnings after the stage is over.
Also, in the demo, mo2 snuck in his worms. Only the player can fall towards them, but if you let your ero bar fill, and then be defeated towards them, you get a good taste of a Ryona KO.
- - - Updated - - -
Just posting an update to say the full games out!
I made something of a 'cheat sheet' to help English players understand how each trap works, and what each girl's ability's are.
Attachment 45984
Impossible to get because I can't put in my name on the sign in page... asking for full name
- - - Updated - - -
Usually I get 4/5 items, but can never locate the last one and the computer rips off my clothes and beats me...
For those looking to buy off of the english DLsite, GOOD NEWS!
The English translation BTW is due in around a weeks time ( give or take ) I'll keep people up towards date here as needed.
If anyone has questions and the like, again, PLEASE ask away!
Updating this topic with a new post:
The English Translation came out a bit ago and is pretty dang full!
There is a recent patch, 1.04 that removes DRM, meaning no more needing to be online to play!
If you guys enjoy erotan's work, I really couldn't stress it enough to support him and pick up a copy of this game for more projects and full updates!

The Almighty RSO was a hip hop group from Boston, Massachusetts. Members included MCs E-Devious (Marco Antonio Ennis, later known as Antonio Twice Thou), Ray Dog (Ray Scott, later known as Benzino), Tony Rhome and DJ Deff Jeff.
One of their first breakthroughs was winning the ICA B-Town Rap Battle in 1986. In 1988 they released the single, "We're Notorious." Current Boston hip hop favorite Akrobatik said "Initially I would think of RSO Crew who were from here and making any type of noise. Locally, if I turned on the radio, those would be the guys that I would know who they were and follow their songs. I've definitely been checking them out from the beginning." [1]
In 1991, 17-year-old Rodney "Rock" Pitts joined as a MC referred by his cousin Big Hurst who was member of the Legion of Doom, the groups answer to the S1Ws. Rock was stabbed to death by a bouncer at a night club shortly after the group signed a deal with Tommy Boy Records.
In 1994 they released the EP Revenge of da Badd Boyz which created controversy with the single "One in the Chamba," which was inspired by two killings of youths by Boston Police. The Boston Police Patrolman's Association (BPPA) pressed charges against the group under a state law that prohibits inciting assaults against public figures. The Almighty RSO spent a short period being part of Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit, appearing on the album "Rollin' With The Flavor".
In 1996 they produced their first full-length LP Doomsday: Forever RSO which included the singles "You Could Be My Boo" featuring Faith Evans, "The War's On" featuring Mobb Deep and "You'll Never Know.
In 1998, Scott (now known as Benzino) and Ennis (now known as Twice Thou) formed the group Made Men with Cool Gsus and released an album entitled Classic Limited Edition.

Fayette County families allege nuisance in suit over gas drilling
Six Fayette County families filed a civil lawsuit in Allegheny County on Thursday claiming nearby natural gas wells are a nuisance that have diminished their ability to use their property.
The families, who reside in Springhill and Nicholson townships, claim in the 63-page lawsuit that Chevron Corp., Williams Cos. and WPX Energy Inc., which own, operate and maintain several gas wells in the area, "adversely impacted" their "quality of life and enjoyment of property." They are seeking unspecified damages for the effects of toxic chemicals, noise, odor and damage to their properties from a dozen gas wells and a compressor station near their property.
"Private property rights are near and dear to everyone in this country," said Charlie Speer, a Kansas City, Mo.-based attorney representing the families. "Folks' homes are typically their biggest investment in life and people want to be safe, secure and happy in their homes. This was a massive intrusion in their lives."
According to the lawsuit, filed on behalf of David and Linda Headley; Joseph and Mildred Bezjak; Benjamin Sr. and Lori Groover; Elzie and Mary Lavery; Robert E. Nicklow Sr.; and Albert Stronko, the companies began drilling operations in 2005.
By 2011, the wells began to leak and efforts by the companies to fix the problems failed, the lawsuit says.
"It's been a nightmare for them," Speer said.
Local officials at both Chevron and Williams declined to comment on the case. Neither company had been served with the lawsuit as of Thursday afternoon and would not comment on pending litigation.
The properties sit around a three-mile stretch that has been part of a bitter feud between the families and the gas companies working there. Two families, including lead plaintiff David Headley, have been in and out of court fighting allegations they accosted workers, even bringing guns to work sites.
The families have claimed they were reacting to gun-toting security workers who had spent weeks intimidating their families after they complained of environmental and contractual violations.
The DEP cited Atlas last year for a corroded, leaky tank on Headley's property. It also cited Laurel Mountain Midstream, a subsidiary of Williams, for pipeline work that spilled 300 to 1,000 gallons of bentonite, a clay that can smother aquatic life, into the stream bed along his land.
The DEP could not immediately respond to a request for an update on violations there, spokesman John Poister said.
"Every day you're away from home and they're working, you wonder what they're going to destroy. And when they're not working, you wonder if they're ever going to come back and fix it," Benjamin Groover, 45, said during an interview at his home on May 20. "They know it's not going to be worth it to you to take them to court for $3,000. … Their whole purpose is to make it so horrific that you know not to bother."
Noise from a compressor station run by Laurel Mountain forced the Groovers to abandon their residence in June 2009. They have since moved to another building on their property.
Speer said he decided to treat the lawsuit as a nuisance complaint because the companies are making "unreasonable use" of the plaintiffs' properties.
"If I lease my farm to someone, that doesn't mean they can tear down my barn, tear down my house and rape my wife," he said. "Treating this as a nuisance case really brings the quality of life issues to the floor and I don't think most juries would want this happening to them."

Pearl Harbor|The Photographs
December 7, 1941
Some of you will have to go to a museum to see what a Brownie camera looked like?
Here is a simple picture of what we are talking about. . .
Isn't is amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?
Fantastic photos taken 68 years ago, photos stored in an old Brownie Camera. Very interesting photos; what quality from 1941.
Pearl Harbor photos found in an old Brownie stored in a foot locker.
And somewhat recently taken to be developed.
December 7th, 1941
And, as a personal note:
I'd like to dedicate this posting to the mother of a very good friend who was stationed at Pearl Harbor on that day, shaken from her bed, who then made her way through the day as a nurse. Everyone has a story. More often than not, you have to stop long enough and listen.

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund lies at the heart of the Rhodes experience. Annual Fund gifts help maintain the day-to-day excellence of the college, making a difference in every aspect of life at Rhodes. Contributions to the Annual Fund help narrow the gap between actual operating costs and what each student pays in tuition.
- Tuition, room and board, and fees only cover 75% of the overall cost of operating the College.
- Without contributions from parents, alumni, and trustees to the Annual Fund and endowment, tuition would have to increase by more than $2,000 per student per year.
- Rhodes depends heavily on input and contributions from outside sources to perpetuate its commitment to excellence. As the College has continued to strengthen its programs, it has earned recognition as one of a very few fine, liberal arts colleges located in a major urban setting.
- Your support touches every aspect of life at Rhodes. You may choose to designate your gift to the following:
- Student Financial Aid (Scholarships)
- Campus Life
- Campus Preservation
- Faculty Support
- Library/Technology
- Where most needed

This week's article to my knowledge will benefit the active traders more; either live or demo. It will also encourage new traders in the world of online forex trading.
It has nothing to do with much grammar; rather, it would go straight to the business of what forex trading is all about.
I am saying this because the week brings into focus majorly technical analysis and trade forecasts on pairs I gave to subscribed clients and also to my trainees (old and current, though subscribers got all).
It has been smiles on their faces and I felt overwhelmed by their thank you messages. However, I am also giving out these forecasts here, as most are still valid with entry points probably at your discretions, bearing in mind good money management proportional to your equity.
It will be a pipful month if you take all or some of these trades. I the article I wrote two weeks ago, I gave a bullish trend analysis to GBP/NZD and GBP/AUD pair, those pairs have garnered over 800-1000pips since then and the bullish pressure is still on, hence you can still go LONG!
The phrase 'seeing is believing' is the order in Forex. You must be able to give a fair market analysis or trade signals that work for you to have followership.
It may also be in terms of showing or revealing your performance on live accounts (not just one but a couple or handful). The analysss are hereby stated below.
Since I hardly use stop loss, I have given a wide gap for stop loss in this forecast that does not conform to the book teachings on risk: reward ratio.
Market analysis for the month of June 2013
The pair is expected to go short.
Suggested Entry point: 1.0051-1.0125.
Suggested TP: 1st – 0.9622 TP: 2 nd -0.9500
Suggested Stop Loss: 1.0448.
Estimated Pips Gain: 429 – 625pips.
The pair is expected to go short.
Suggested Entry point: 0.9655 – 0.9719.
Suggested TP: 1st – 0.9390.
Suggested Stop Loss: 1.0381.
Estimated Pips Gain: 265 – 329pips.
The pair is expected to go short.
Suggested Entry point: 0.8051-0.8100.
Suggested TP: 1st – 0.7460.
Suggested Stop Loss: 0.8582.
Estimated Pips Gain: 591 -640pips.
The pair is expected to go LONG.
Suggested Entry point: 1.3240-1.3380.
Suggested TP: 1st – 1.4086 TP: 2 nd -1.4260 TP: 3rd – 1.4334.
Suggested Stop Loss: 1.2679.
Estimated Pips Gain: 846 – 1,094pips.
The pair is expected to go LONG.
Suggested Entry point: 1.8750-1.8990.
Suggested TP: 1st – 1.9780 TP: 2nd -1.9845 TP: 3rd – 1.9947.
Suggested Stop Loss: 1.8098.
Estimated Pips Gain: 790 – 1,197pips.
The pair is expected to go LONG.
Suggested Entry point: 1.5505-1.5620.
Suggested TP: 1st – 1.6184 TP: 2nd -1.6357 TP: 3rd – 1.6386 TP: 4th – 1.6489.
Suggested Stop Loss: 1.4960.
Estimated Pips Gain: 564 – 984pips.
Even though nearly these orders have been activated and have made substantial gain, they are still not considered due to the fact it's coming on publication today. Good profits still abound when they retrace because it is a monthly analysis. Hence like I said earlier traders discretion for entry levels prevails.
The curtain has also been drawn on registration for May to August course. Interested readers would have to wait for August – November batch. Opportunity that may arise for training before this is the nationwide training tour which takes off first in Abuja (July 22-27). This shall be a week intensive programme spanning eight hours daily. Port Harcourt, Uyo/Calabar, Benin, Ilorin, Enugu/Owerri will come up subsequently in that order.
Happy trading.

Palm Markup Language
This page explains how to use the Palm Markup Language (PML) to specify formatting and other information in a text file for later reading using the eReader.
PML commands start with a backslash, "\", and usually consist of a single character after that. Some PML commands are paired, such as those that specify italicized text. Other commands are directives, such as the "\p", which specifies a page break. PML is not meant to be an industrial-strength markup language, but it is easy to understand, easy to parse, and creates high-quality electronic books.
Since PML and Palm DropBook are not without flaws, there is a page of Tips and Pitfalls.
Let's Dive Right In
The following table specifies the Palm Markup Language commands, and what they do.
\pThis is a new page \xChapter III\x \X1Chapter III, part A\X1 \p\C="Introduction"The following story is one of my favorites... \cProperty of Gateway Senior High School \c \rJustify my love \r This stuff is \ireally\i cool.

For more information, see the \Sd="moreinfo"sidebar\Sd. \I\Baardvark\B\I \in.\i a large burrowing nocturnal mammal that feeds especially on termites and ants
Footnotes and Sidebars
Footnotes and Sidebars are specified with an XML-like syntax at the end of the PML document. For example,
<sidebar id="sidebar1"> Here's some \itext\i for a sidebar. </sidebar>
would specify the sidebar to be displayed when the user taps on a sidebar link in the text that was specified using the \Sd tag.
Any text or PML placed after the first footnote or sidebar is ignored as part of the book text.
Sidebars and footnotes can include most PML features, but there are some PML tags that cannot be used inside of a sidebar or footnote.
These include
See the palmsample.txt file for examples of how to use many of the PML tags.
The following rules are intended to guarantee that images in your eBook will be viewable on all platforms that eReader runs on.
On low-resolution Palm OS handhelds, an image wider than 158 pixels or taller than 148 pixels will be represented in the text by a thumbnail that the user can tap to view the entire image. Images smaller than 158 x 148 will be presented in-line with the text.
On high-resolution Palm OS handhelds (those having screens of 320x320 pixels or more), images smaller than 158 by 148 pixels will be pixel-doubled. Images larger than 158x148 may be shown in-line with the text, if they will fit on the screen.
On non-Palm OS platforms, small images will be scaled up appropriately. Large images will be scaled down to fit on the page; in this case the user can tap on the image to view the entire image and zoom in or out.
For DropBook to find the image, it must be present in a directory whose name matches that of the PML text file. For example, if "pmlsample.txt" contains a reference to an image called "intro.png", then there must be a directory called "pmlsample_img" that contains intro.png. The directory's name is the name of the PML file (without the .txt extension) with "_img" appended.
Images must be in PNG format and cannot be filtered or interlaced. Image depth must be 8 bits or less. Any color table may be used for color images.
Image files must be less than or equal to 65505 bytes in size, since they are embedded into the .pdb format of the book; Palm database records are limited to 65505 bytes in length. Since images are compressed, the actual image displayed by the reader may be much larger than 64K.
Any or all of these restrictions may eventually be removed.
Adding a Title, Cover Art, and Other Meta-information to Your eBook
DropBook normally presents a dialog in which the title and other information for the eBook may be specified. This information may be embedded in the PML file instead.
To specify the eBook title as it will appear in the Open dialog on the
handheld, place a block of invisible comment text at the beginning of the
file using
\vTITLE="Palm Sample Document"\v
You can also specify the author using the AUTHOR meta-tag, the publisher with PUBLISHER, copyright information with COPYRIGHT, and the eBook ISBN with EISBN. A fully-specified set of meta-information might appear in PML as:
\vTITLE="Palm Sample Document" AUTHOR="Sam Morgenstern" PUBLISHER="eReader.com"
EISBN="X-XXXX-XXXX" COPYRIGHT="Copyright \a169 2004 by Sam Morgenstern"\v
Cover art: If an image named "cover.png" is present in the eBook, it is assumed to be the cover art for the eBook. See the rules for images for sizing and other information.
Some or all of this information may appear in the book information dialog in eReader, and may be used for other purposes in future products.
Creating Dictionaries
The \I PML tag is used to delimit an index item. Example:
Each entry must start in the normal font. If DropBook shows an error beginning with "No styles permitted before...", there is probably a missing end style tag before the text shown in the error message.
Links, chapters and other PML structures are not permitted in dictionaries. Images, however, are.
A special dictionary entry, "(Front matter)" is shown before other entries in the list of entries, and should be used to include pronunciation symbols and other front matter.
Note that use of dictionaries requires eReader Pro.

Integrity, Morality and The Use of Fake Email Addresses
I know many of you would wonder what I am up to this time around. I want us to examine an issue that has bothered me for a while now; the art of giving people fake email addresses Are you still not sure of the drift? As far as I am concerned, a blog is a community of people of similar interest who interact regularly to seek solution to their identified common challenges or worries. Even if a reader of a blog article only gets a partial solution, then it has been of help as it has moved the person closer to a final solution.

Internet Marketing: From Newbie to Pro
Internet Marketing (IM), like every other 'new' or 'emerging' industry, is an all-comers affair. The very nature of the Internet makes it very difficult to regulate or professionally police IM practitioners. It requires no basic entry point qualification and the codes of practice is basically what the marketer and the customer/client agree upon without recourse to any industry-wide standard rules. Unfortunately a new entrant (newbie) to the business has to be very savvy to escape a baptismal of scam right from the first day. He or she is overwhelmed with information...Read More

Dario dario
Scarlet Badis
SynonymsTop ↑
Labrus dario Hamilton, 1822; Badis dario (Hamilton, 1822); Badis badis bengalensis Tomey, 1999
Dario: derived from the specific epithet of the type species, dario, which in turn is from its Bangla name, Darhi.
dario: as above.
Order: Perciformes Family: Badidae
Appears to be restricted to tributary systems draining into the Brahamaputra River in parts of West Bengal and Assam states, India although it may also range into Bhutan.
When Hamilton described this species he did so without preserving any specimens, therefore to avoid confusion with similar-looking congeners.
Kullander and Britz (2002) designated a neotype which was collected from as close to the original type locality as possible, i.e., near the town of Raimana in western Assam.
The neotype locality is 'Janali River, Raimana, 26°39'00″N, 89°58'00″E, Brahmaputra River drainage, Kokrajhar District, Assam, India'.
Typically inhabits shallow, clear water streams with sand or gravel substrates and dense growths of marginal and/or aquatic vegetation.
At one locality the macrophyte assemblage included members of Hygrophilia, Limnophila, Ottelia, Rotala and Vallisneria.
It occurs sympatrically with Badis blosyrus and B. kanabos at the neotype locality.
Maximum Standard Length
One of the smallest percoid fishes known. Males grow to around 20 mm and females 13 mm.
Aquarium SizeTop ↑
A pair or single male with multiple females can be housed in an aquarium with base dimensions of 45 ∗ 30 cm or more.
Best-maintained in a well-structured arrangement with plenty of cover.
A soft substrate is preferable although fine-grade gravel is acceptable, while ideal plants include Cryptocoryne spp. or those that can be grown attached to the décor such as Microsorum, Anubias, or Taxiphyllum species.
The latter is particularly useful as it's also an ideal spawning substrate, and driftwood branches, floating plants and leaf litter can all be used as well.
Water Conditions
Temperature: 18 – 26 °C
pH: 6.5 – 8.5
Hardness: 18 – 268 ppm
Dario species are micropredators feeding on small aquatic crustaceans, worms, insect larvae and other zooplankton.
In captivity they should be offered small live or frozen fare such as Artemia nauplii, Daphnia, grindal, micro-, and banana worm.
They're noted as somewhat shy, deliberate feeders (see 'Behaviour and Compatibility') and it's also important to note that all badids develop issues with obesity and become more susceptible to disease when fed chironomid larvae (bloodworm) and/or Tubifex so these should be omitted from the diet.
Behaviour and CompatibilityTop ↑
Not a gregarious fish as such and rival males can be very aggressive towards one another, especially in smaller tanks.
In these cases only a single pair or one male and several females should be purchased but in roomier surroundings a group can coexist provided there is space for each male to establish a territory and plenty of broken lines of sight.
Thoughtful placement of caves and boundaries can help tremendously in this respect so don't be tempted to cluster all available spawning sites in one area of the tank, for example.
If you do intend to house it in a community tankmates must be chosen with care.
It's slow-moving with a retiring nature and will easily be intimidated or outcompeted for food by larger or more boisterous tankmates.
Peaceful, pelagic cyprinids such as Microdevario, Boraras, Trigonostigma or smaller Rasbora species make good choices as do diminutive loaches such as some members of the genus Petruichthys.
Sexual Dimorphism
This species is very easy to sex but often only males are traded.
Females are smaller, less colourful (they do not have any red or blue pigmentation on the flanks and only indistinct bars or none at all) and possess a noticeably shorter, stumpier-looking body profile then males.
In addition, males develop extended pelvic, dorsal and anal fins as they mature.
Substrate-spawner forming temporary pair bonds.
Other fishes are best omitted if you want to raise good numbers of fry, although in a mature, well-furnished community a few may survive to adulthood.
Either a single pair or a group of adults can be used but if using multiple males be sure to provide each with space to form a territory with around 30 cm² per individual adequate.
One male will usually become dominant meaning the others will not be involved in breeding.
Water parameters should be within the values suggested above and the fish conditioned with plenty of live and frozen foods.
As they come into breeding condition males will begin to form territories and display courtship behaviour alongside an intensified colour pattern.
This can be prolonged for several days with the female often being chased away then courted again minutes later.
The male will make a non-aggressive approach towards the female and appear to 'invite' her into the centre of his territory, and if ready to spawn she will follow.
The act itself is over in just a few seconds with eggs being scattered in a random fashion on the underside of a solid surface such as a plant leaf.
Post-spawning the female is ejected and the male takes sole responsibility for the territory.
If you want to maximise the numbers of fry raised now is the time to either remove the medium to a container containing water from the spawning tank or the adults as the fry will be preyed upon once hatched.
The incubation period should be 2-3 days after which the fry may need up to a week to fully absorb the yolk sac.
They are very small indeed and will require an infusoria-type diet until large enough to accept microworm, Artemia nauplii, and suchlike.
NotesTop ↑
In the aquarium hobby this species is among the more well-known badids and is an increasingly popular choice for 'nano' aquaria.
It is easily told apart from congeners since it's the only species in which males possess a series of seven iridescent blue vertical bars on the flanks.
D. dario can be further distinguished from D. dayingensis by absence (vs. presence) of palatine teeth in the upper jaw, 8½ (vs. 9½) scales in the transverse row, and presence (vs. absence) of distinct pre-, post-, and supraorbital stripes.
It differs from D. hysginon in absence (vs. presence) of an anguloarticular lateralis canal, and from both D. hysginon and D. dayingensis by possessing 13-14 (vs. 15-16) dorsal-fin spines and lacking (vs. possessing) both infraorbital bones and a black spot in the anterior portion of the dorsal-fin.
You may see it referred to as Badis badis bengalensis or B. bengalensis which is a result of an erroneous 'description' published by a hobbyist magazine in 1999.
Dario currently contains five species, of which four are considered miniature species since they do not exceed 26 mm in standard length (SL).
The fifth, D. urops, not only grows larger, to at least 28.0 mm SL, but occurs in southwestern India whereas the others are native to the Brahmaputra, Meghna, and Ayeyarwaddy river systems in northern India, Myanmar, and southwestern China, and this raises interesting questions regarding their biogeography.
In addition, D. urops lacks some diagnostic characters of Dario and thus may represent the sister group to other members of the genus, though this hypothesis remains to be tested.
Prior to 2002 the family Badidae included just five species but an extensive revision paper published that year contained descriptions of ten new species along with the genus Dario of which the former Badis dario was designated type species.
Dario is most easily distinguished from Badis by the small adult size of member species, predominantly red colouration, more extended first few dorsal rays and pectoral fins in males, straight-edged (vs. rounded) caudal-fin, lack of visible lateral line and less-involved parental behaviour.
Badids have historically been considered members of the families Nandidae or Pristolepididae and it was not until 1968 that Barlow proposed a separate grouping for them.
They share some characteristics with anabantoids, nandids and channids, perhaps most notably the typical spawning embrace in which the male wraps his body around that of the female.
More recent studies have concluded that this procedure is an ancient trait inherited from a common ancestor to all these families.
All Badis, Dario and Nandus species were found to share a uniquely bifurcated (split) hemal spine on the penultimate vertebra and this may provide evidence that the group is monophyletic (Kullander and Britz, 2002).
The family Nandidae is currently restricted to include only Nandus species and it's separated from Badidae by differences in morphology and egg structure with their phylogenetic relationships yet to be studied in detail.

Hand of Hope
Photograph shows a fetus reaching out towards the surgeon during an in-the-womb surgery.
[Collected via e-mail, May 2003]
A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably will never see it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of
Dr. Bruner's
remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.
During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via
and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As
Dr. Bruner
completed the surgery on little Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. In a Time Europe article highlighting new pregnancy imagery that show the formation of major organs and other significant evidence of the formation of human life but a few days after conception,
Dr. Bruner
was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile. The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope."
The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of
Dr. Joseph
Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."
Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us a pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person." Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation
100 per
cent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is
awesome ...
The image accompanying the text quoted above is real in the sense that it is indeed a photograph taken during a revolutionary fetal procedure undertaken on
19 August
to fix the spina bifida lesion of a
fetus in the womb. The operation was performed by a surgical team at Vanderbilt University in Nashville which developed a technique for correcting fetal problems in mid-pregnancy by temporarily removing the uterus, draining the amniotic fluid, performing surgery on the tiny fetus, then restoring the uterus back inside the mother. The patient shown above, Samuel Armas, was the 54th fetus operated on by the surgical team;
Dr. Joseph
Bruner, the surgeon whose hands are pictured above, alleviated the effects of the opening in Samuel's spine caused by the spina bifida, a congenital disease that often leads to paralysis and other problems. Pictures from the surgery were printed in a number of newspapers in the U.S. and around the world, including
USA Today
and thanks to the remarkable surgical procedure performed by the Nashville team little Samuel was born healthy on
2 December
However, it is not true, as described in the accompanying text, that these photographs were taken as Samuel's hand "emerged from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of
Dr. Joseph
Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life," or that
Dr. Bruner
said "when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life." This misinformation has been propagated by many different sources, including the Michael Clancy, the photographer who snapped the pictures:
As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one's hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, "What happened?"
"The child reached out," I said.
"Oh. They do that all the time," she responded.
What actually took place, as described in news reports of the surgery, was that:
[J]ust as surgeon
Dr. Joseph
Bruner was closing the incision in Julie Armas' uterus, Samuel's thumbnail-sized hand flopped out. Bruner lifted it gently and tucked it back in.
The surgeon, Dr. Bruner, later elaborated on some of the exaggerated and false claims made about the photograph:
"It has become an urban legend," says Bruner, the Vanderbilt University surgeon who fixed the spina bifida lesion on Samuel. Many people he hears from wonder whether it's a fake.
"One person said the photo had been reviewed by a team of medical experts and they had determined that it was a hoax," Bruner says with a laugh.
More commonly, people want to know how the photo came to be.
Some opponents of abortion have claimed that the baby reached through the womb and grabbed the doctor's hand.
Not true, Bruner says.
Samuel and his mother, Julie, were under anesthesia and could not move.
"The baby did not reach out," Bruner says. "The baby was anesthetized. The baby was not aware of what was going on."
(The dubious veracity of the photographer's version of events is highlighted by the
he appended to it on his web site, stating that it represented his "opinion of the events as they took place during the surgery for Samuel.")

Who's got time to fight the Freshman Fifteen? When you're ready to hit the books, going the gym is often the last thing from your mind. Earlier, I posted some time-management tips for students to help get the college-bound organized and able to stay fit while away from home. This time, we'll revisit some of those key principles with the idea of making good time for fun, fitness, and friends, no matter what college life brings.
1. Make good use of your peak hours
In my earlier post, I elaborated on finding your peak hours and capitalizing on this time to ensure that you are productive with both your studies and your efforts in the gym. Get the important school stuff done when you're …
How do you make them workouts work? In a given week, you're likely to have any number of appointments, social outing, and whatever else there is that life can throw at you, so it can often be a challenge to get your butt in gear. Capitalize on what motivation you have and make your efforts count, in and out of the gym!
1. Establish a fitness baseline
When it comes to making time for your workouts, it's crucial that you work out a baseline for how long it takes you to get it done. We're not just talking about how long your spinning class is. You need to factor in the prep time, the commute, and all the other things in between. In …
Are your cardio workouts lacking a little something special? It seems simple enough—get on the machine and start moving your legs—but to really make those 20-30 minutes count, there's at least three key things you should remember! See how you can ramp up your calorie burn, stay focused, and benefit from a good sweat this workout.
1. Stop half-assing your cardio!
It's really easy to get into a fitness rut by just pedaling away at a nice, comfortable pace. It's equally easy to want to calibrate your effort levels to the "easy" setting. After all, much of what we do is based on convenience and simplification. Why make things more difficult than they should be? In this sense, it can be super tempting to just …
When it comes to the fitness end game, results can be a tricky thing. On paper, opting to lose 10 lbs seems pretty solid, but seeing it happen isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Whether it's because you're itching to get to the finish line or getting bogged down by other people's lofty ideals, there are ways to battle these obstacles and find fitness success in the real world.
1. Results don't come fast enough
When you're looking to tone up, it seems like the results take a bajillion years to happen, if at all. It's easy to get discouraged or at the very least antsy when you're (im)patiently awaiting the spoils of your hard labor. In this day and age, it's equally …
What gets you motivated to wash, rinse, and repeat, fitness-wise? Earlier, I talked about how fitness guilt can get your butt in gear via the fear of negative results. On the flip side, it can be an equally strong idea to rev up some motivation by playing on the positive stuff instead. Positive reinforcement can be a great way of encouraging behaviour and can even be useful in getting you, the fitness guinea pig, to continue following that solid routine of clean eating and physical activity. See how you can help yourself see those healthy habits repeated via the positive stuff instead.
1. Set up a reward system
Positive reinforcement works by encouraging behaviour through them sweet, sweet rewards. The type of "reward" can vary, …

Yukiko Kada
|Yukiko Kada
|嘉田 由紀子
|Governor of Shiga Prefecture
|In office
20 July 2006 – 19 July 2014
|Preceded by
|Yoshitsugu Kunimatsu
|Succeeded by
|Taizo Mikazuki
|Personal details
|Yukiko Watanabe (渡辺由紀子?)
May 18, 1950
Honjo, Saitama, Japan
|Political party
|Tomorrow Party of Japan
Yukiko Kada (嘉田 由紀子 Kada Yukiko?, born May 18, 1950) is the governor of Shiga Prefecture. She is from Honjō, Saitama and her father was a member of the city council. She went to Kyoto University and studied environmental sociology. She moved to Ōtsu, Shiga in 1979. She graduated from the Graduate School of Agriculture of Kyoto University in 1981. She also studied in the United States at the University of Wisconsin as a graduate student in 1973. She became a professor at Kyoto Seika University in 2000.
She was first elected in 2006, defeating incumbent governor Yoshitsugu Kunimatsu. She became the first female governor of Shiga and only the fifth female governor in Japanese history. She then enjoyed a landslide re-election victory in 2010. Behind her popular campaign slogan mottainai (translating roughly to "Don't Waste"), Gov. Kada captured 420,000 votes, which was the largest total of any in the history of Shiga Prefecture's gubernatorial elections.[1] She was supported by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and led the Tomorrow Party of Japan (TPJ), which was founded shortly before the 2012 general election. The TPJ performed poorly in the election and all of its diet members except for Tomoko Abe left the party shortly afterwards, leading to the loss of its status as a national party. National party status in Japan requires five sitting diet members.[2]
After the Shiga prefectural assembly passed a resolution requesting Kada to stop doubling as governor and the head of the TPJ, she resigned as head of the party on January 4, 2013.[3]

Wirtschaftspolitische Reformen in Japan - Kultur als Hemmschuh? Überarbeitete Fassung eines Beitrags zur Sitzung des Ausschusses für Wirtschaftssysteme des Vereins für Socialpolitik in Leipzig, 23. - 25. September 2001
Duisburg: Inst. für Ostasienwiss. (2002) (Duisburger Arbeitspapiere Ostasienwissenschaften ; 44), 31 S.
Buch / Monographie / Fach: Ostasienwissenschaften
Volltext in DuEPublico: Dokument 5328
Signatur des Buches: PRV6153_d
The paper starts from the assumption that a lasting recovery of Japan's economy can only come about by a reform of economic policy decisive enough to re-establish confidence again. The adherence to the rule of law and the establishment of independent agencies might provide a solution, but these methods could well be jeopardised by cultural factors in the sense of the cognitive-evolutionary approach of economic policy theory. The influence of certain values and views is looked at, especially regarding a disposition towards so-called generalised exchange mechanisms, the prospects of a credible self-commitment via the rule of law as well as the employment of elements of direct democracy and federalism. By and large the paper is sceptical about the chances of a reform in accordance with the aims as set out above, even though there are in reality first signs of attempts at establishing the rule of law and agency independence.

Interview with Pasquale D'Silva
Pasquale D'Silva is a freelance animator, illustrator, and designer based in Australia. As many of you web heads may know, some regions of the world with people of high web interest at the moment seem to be the U.S., Eastern Europe, and Australia; welp, he's from the last.
I cannot remember exactly how I got to his site the first time I visited, but I do recall reading a link to an illustration site. The first time I visited I was amazed by the design and style of his website ( http://darkmotion.com ). The color scheme, layout, and artwork create a mood and I think that mood summarizes Pasquale D'Silva better than my words ever can. After you have perused his site, check out his sketchbook on Flickr or his illustration work. He is one of those people that is just so damn naturally talented that it makes you mad.
Oh yeah, did I mention he's still in his twenties and, oh yeah, he' s still a college student?
I have shown his sketchbook to my students and I have to tell them daily to close it and get to work, no joke. He is a super talented young man and thought would be a great designer to interview for my students.
And by the way, he's just a nice guy too.
Give us your back story, how did you fall into this field?
I've always been interested in visual arts. In junior school, I remember learning the ins and out of html (possibly at the age of 8-9) and loved that I could create my own content to share with other people connected to this big thing called the Internet. Though I do deal with design, my first creative love is Animation & Illustration. I found that as a young artist and student, paying a firm to design a site, or using freely available templates was certainly not enough to push one's self ahead of the pack. I started tinkering with layout and design, using the graphical illustration roots which I have, applying it to design for web. The result? Something that is unique, fresh and works to satisfy both clients and users. Composition, colour, weighting and appeal all interweave themselves through art genres of all visual media, so the transition from traditional art to functional web design is made easier. It's certainly helped to launch my work, so much so that it has allowed me to work with great animation studios and media firms directing art styles.
What's your educational background?
I went through high school and graduated in Queensland, Australia in 2006. I studied Information Processing Technologies, Visual Art and Multimedia. I am now in my second year of my BA Animation and screen media, and plan to travel with work for the new year.
Did you find your education beneficial to your field/current job? How so?
My early exposure to the web, and art certainly benifited my position. I received a rare internship with an animation studio who saw my work on my website in highschool. By applying ideas using the 'nuts and bolts' learned in an educational environment, the tools can be utilised to develop new working approaches. Essentially, learning the minimum is not enough to go far creatively. Initiative to experiment, and seek feedback from teachers and peers is essential for creative progression. Webdesign is art, and art is subjective, so the rich environment in an educational system to receive feedback is priceless.
Tell us about your work, what do you find yourself working on most of your days?
Honestly, it's very wild being a freelancer. A great type of wild. One day I will be illustrating tribal men, bears and octopuses for web companies, and the next I could be wireframing and designing layouts for sales sites. I think it's important to preserve a state of openess towards other mediums. I find myself combining Design, Animation & Illustration every day. The diverse spread of work keeps me coming back for more.
So I don't know if you've heard but the students at Damascus High School are studying Web Standards, Accessibility, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP, Databases, and more. What's your take on this?
I think that Standards, Accessibility and Functionality is where we should all be heading. The internet is rapidly expanding, and with so many new technologies to access and create information; we get hiccups with compatibility. As developers, we should be working around an architecture and infrastrucutre removes redundancies. We are spending more time with technology, and should embrace it, while respecting conventions. It's only going to get bigger and better; so we need to think forward. While we do have all of the fancy new languages and frameworks popping up, we as designers have to make sure to hide all the mechanics of it, and present users with an aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically functional interface.
With Web Design/Development being in it's infancy in the occupational field there is a struggling number of quality undergraduate programs and no Masters' or Doctoral programs. What are your suggestions for a high school graduate who has decided to pursue higher education in this field?
I suggest making your mark now. Don't wait till post secondary school to start to discover. The earlier you can dive into this field and experiment, the better. Community/voluntary work is great for this. If you have an aquaintance that requires some work, take it as a chance to apply yourself. Freelance doesn't start off as a big league job. Like anything with 'new media', it requires investment of time, and commitment. Try and develop a collection of work which you could use to apply for in-house internships. Take any opportunity you can grab. Collaborate with peers and learn from each other.
If you could only design monochromatically from now on what color would you use and why?
teal/blue. Though it is a cliche, it works beautifully. It has a low natural brightness, so the contrast levels between bands of saturation and value feel rich to me. I don't know how long I could live with working monochromatically though. I love colour.
If you could only program in one language what would it be and why?
PHP. It's functional, open source, scalable and the most common.
If you could only read one blog for the rest of your days what would it be and why?
I'd tell you that it's my amazing girlfriend's blog, but since it's a secret, I'll cave and tell you #2 on the list : http://drawn.ca. It's a brilliant and regularly updated source of inspiration for cartoonists and illustrators.
In conclusion, if there was only one nugget you can pass on to high school students (14 through 18 year old) web design related or not, what would it be?
Take every line dangling in front of you, because on the other end could be something amazing. And what if there isn't anything great there? Throw it back and catch another one, there's always a fish (or giant sea monster) that's right for you!
You're awesome Pasquale. Thanks for taking the time to fill us all in, but most importantly my students thank you.
So if you haven't checked out his work yet, what are you still doing here? Get over to dark motion!

Alex Marvex & Fox Sports Reports Lendale White was cut because he was lazy in didnt take his shot at the NFL seriously.
LenDale White didn't take his chance with the Seattle Seahawks or NFL redemption seriously.
A source told FOXSports.com that the fourth-year running back was cut Friday by Seattle because his effort level "stood out like a sore thumb" compared to other players on the roster. White's physical conditioning also was poor despite his having lost 45 pounds within the past year.
The source said the release was not related to an NFL Network report that White was facing a four-game suspension for failing a drug test. However, the positive test was confirmed although it remains uncertain whether White failed for a recreational or performance-enhancing substance.
Reunited with his college coach Pete Carroll (Southern Cal) following a trade with Tennessee, Seattle seemed a perfect spot for White to kick-start his NFL career. He had rushed for 1,110 yards in 2007 as a 260-pound bruiser and notched 15 touchdowns the following season as the red-zone replacement for Chris Johnson. White, though, received only 64 carries in 2009 as Johnson blazed to a 2,000-yard rushing season. White's penchant for immaturity — including a record of tardiness for meetings — put him on the offseason trade block.
Seattle made draft-day deals for White and New York Jets running back Leon Washington, who is recuperating from a serious leg injury. Compensation for White included the swapping of midround picks and slots as well as Titans defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson landing in Seattle.
General manager John Schneider said Friday that "it became apparent at this time that LenDale was not ready to be a member of the Seattle Seahawks."
The running back's uncle Herman White told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday night that he had been speaking with his nephew throughout the day.
"He wasn't doing good," Herman White said.
"I have no idea what happened."
The uncle said he does not know what's behind a report about the drug test.
"He was surprised," Herman White said, adding LenDale told him this week how great his second NFL chance was going. "I'm pretty shocked, based on what he's been telling me.
Earlier in the week, LenDale White said he was ready to turn his career around.
"I was a lot younger in my mind, honestly," the 25-year-old White said Monday of his early seasons in the NFL and with Tennessee. "I put myself in a lot of situations."
Now, he's in another one.
White posted this message on his Twitter page about an hour after the Seahawks made his release official: "God is good. All the time !!"
He missed one day of organized team activities this month. He said on Monday there was some "family stuff I had to take care of."
Agent Drew Rosenhaus did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages left by The Associated Press. He was on the phone late Friday afternoon with his client sorting out a confusing sequence in which the Seahawks put out an announcement on their website around noon that White had been released, only to take it down soon after.
Hours later, Schneider made it official in a statement released by the team.

After Dixon's mom informed him of a WGVU-TV contest for nominating teachers worthy of recognition, the 9-year-old sat down and finished his essay in an hour for his teacher, Jeff VanDyke.
VanDyke, a Grand Haven resident, said he was at first surprised when he received a phone call from the West Michigan public television station to inform him that he would receive the title as a WGVU Cool Teacher.
"Then, I was flattered my student would do that for me," he said.
Dixon said his teacher found him at lunch to let him know that he had won.
"I was screaming in my head," the boy said. "I was so excited."
The classroom celebrated the news with a pizza party and Dixon reading his essay that included reasons why VanDyke is a "cool teacher." Some of the reasons Dixon gave involved VanDyke singing "Hello, Goodbye" by the Beatles when they return from recess and making learning fun by using the classroom whiteboard to play math-related games.
"I'm glad they feel that way about the class," VanDyke said.
VanDyke's and Dixon's families also received four vouchers each for an Amtrak train trip from Grand Rapids to Chicago.

Did you finish Dishonored and long for more opportunities to sneak around, or just stab absolutely everything in your way? Then you'll be really happy come December! Warning: There will be substantial spoilers below the cut.
Dishonored will be getting DLC to extend the story and add to the fun. First up will be a challenge pack for $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points. Called Dunwall City Trials, you'll have ten arena missions with different goals, ranging arena battles against swarms of enemies to high speed races to drop assassination challenges. That will be available in December.
The next round of DLC will be coming next year and won't focus on Corvo at all. As those who've finished the game know, you'll run into a group of supernatural assassins with powers similar to your own named the Whalers. Their leader, Daud, will be the focus of the second DLC coming in Spring 2013. Daud will have new equipment, powers, and weapons and will be visiting entirely new locations.
As for the third DLC, that will remain a mystery for now. Pricing for the Daud pack will be announced closer to release.
Press Release:
We are pleased to announce three upcoming add-on packs for Dishonored, the critically-acclaimed first-person action game developed by Arkane Studios. All of the Dishonored add-on packs will be released simultaneously on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials, being released in December for $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points), will include 10 challenge maps that will test and track your combat, stealth and mobility skills. Ten distinct trials await challengers – including an arena battle against waves of enemy AI, a gravity-defying run of drop assassinations, and a race against the clock. Dunwall City Trials also features a whole new set of achievements and trophies as well as a global online leaderboard that will establish the greatest assassins for each challenge.
The second and third add-ons for Dishonored will be coming in 2013 and will each feature story-driven campaigns. Pricing on these two packs will be revealed closer to launch.
Daud, the leader of a group of supernatural assassins known as 'The Whalers', will be the focus of the second add-on pack, scheduled for release in early Spring 2013. Make your way through new Dunwall locales and discover Daud's own set of weapons, powers and gadgets in this story-driven campaign. How you play and the choices you make will impact the final outcome…
Additional story details on the third add-on pack will be revealed closer to its launch next year.

BURBANK — The first year with a new water polo coach, something both the Burroughs High and Burbank boys' teams experienced last season, inevitably involves a learning curve.
It was a rocky start last season for Indians coach and Burroughs graduate Michael Singhanate. But that was last year and for the upcoming season, Singhanate returns with an eye to the future.
"Overall, our team this year shows much potential and promise for this season, as well as the following season," said Singhanate, a 2008 graduate. "It's a team that I'm excited to work with. Having learned much from last year, I believe that there's much we can and will improve this year."
Last season, Bulldogs Coach Zeb Jenkins made the move up from assistant and led his squad back to the playoffs. However, he did not return. By summer, the Bulldogs had a succession plan well in place, with Jenkins' assistant, Jarrod Przebieda, prepped for the job.
However, in just the last three weeks, the plan fell apart when Przebieda, who also headed the swim team, found new employment, making it impossible for him to coach. So, with the season looming, in stepped Gilbert Raposa, a decorated swimmer who was Przebieda's assistant swim coach. He takes the reins despite having limited experience with water polo and limited knowledge of who he will put in the pool.
"To be honest, I don't really know what to expect," Raposa said. "This job sort of has just landed in my lap."
What both schools will be dealing with is a new division, as the CIF Southern Section moved the Pacific League from Division V up to Division IV. This happened thanks in no small part to reigning league champion Glendale winning the Division V title last season in its second straight finals berth.
Here is a closer look at the teams.
"I may not have a lot of experience as far as water polo and deep water polo knowledge," Raposa said. "But I feel like I have a pretty good ability to lead people where they want to go."
Raposa will take over at Burbank as its fourth head coach in as many seasons. An Alaska native, Raposa, whose high school swim team won three consecutive state titles, moved to the area in 2005 to finish his swimming career as a decorated member of the Pasadena City College squad, where he briefly played water polo in an effort to stay in condition for swim season.
"I come from a swimming background. I grew up swimming and swimming has been my life," Raposa said. "I was involved in the summer program for swim, but also the summer program for water polo because the head coach of swimming at the time, Jarrod, came from a water polo background. Jarrod found a new job that doesn't allow him to coach and that kind of came all of a sudden. Naturally, since I was already working with the students doing water polo, I kind of took over that. I guess that is kind of where we're at right now."
Undoubtedly, this season's circumstances and the sudden change add a higher level of difficulty for the Bulldogs, who finished fourth in league last season and lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs. On a positive note, Raposa does see some advantages as his entrance into a new world corresponds with the influx of youth in the pool.
"One thing that is pretty nice is that we have a lot of younger kids," Raposa said. "We don't have very many seniors, so the team, specifically the varsity team, we have an opportunity to grow together."
However, Raposa will still be relying on those who have come back to help him along the way as he learns the sport.
"Some of these students have taken upon themselves to train with club teams and further their understanding of water polo, further their conditioning, stuff like that," Raposa said. "So, I'm looking to them to help with the program. [Junior] Artur Mheryan is one of them."
Whatever happens, look for the Bulldogs to not have issues in terms of their conditioning.
"If there is anything I know, it is swimming," Raposa said. "and swimming is an essential part of water polo, whether the athletes like it or not."
In his first year, Singhanate inherited a squad that had reached the postseason for the first time in seven years the season before. However, in 2013 the Indians finished with a sub-.500 record and missed the playoffs.

"Frozen in Time" acrylic print by Joan Carroll. Ships within 3 - 4 business days and arrives ready-to-hang with all mounting hardware included. Choose from multiple sizes and two different mounting options (metal posts / hanging wire).
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
Gators love their Tebow. This is one of a trio of statues found outside Ben Hill Griffen Stadium at the University of Florida honoring the football team's three Heisman Trophy winners. The Gators unveiled bronze statues of Spurrier (1966), Wuerffel (1996) and Tebow (2007). The thing that stood out was Tebow's depiction. "That's fine," Tebow said. "You have to change it up. We can't all be throwing.". One of college football's greatest players, Tebow had 32 touchdown passes in 2007 and ran for 23 more. He became the first player to score at least 20 touchdowns rushing and passing, then became the first sophomore to win the Heisman. The statues, which weigh between 1,700 and 2,000 pounds, were placed on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin...
WATERMARKS WILL NOT APPEAR ON PRINTS. My twin loves of photography and travel emerged early in life. I remember being enchanted by rare trips to an airport to meet an arriving flight, and equally enchanted by a train trip on the California Zephyr from Denver to Salt Lake City.
