Let me start this review with warning to anyone planning to visit this restaurant. Everything about it was terrible- the service rude and unhelpful, the food overcooked and greasy and the decoration shabby and tacky. I read a few positive reviews on this website but they can only have been written by either the manager of the restaurant or by people who haven't tasted real chinese food. We ordered dumplings, lamb, duck and vegetables and the food became more vile with every course. The manager was clearly trying to turn over as many tables as possible and we got stuck with a bill for $150 for two people. If you want great chinese food go to Chinatown Brasserie or try Chin Chin in midtown. I want my money back!!!

Deseret News archives, Deseret News Archives, Deseret News Archives
This photo story each week, is all about discovery. Today we feature several images sent in by the readers of the Deseret News.
Three weeks ago our story was about early telephones and communication in Utah. One of our readers, Ann Kronmiller of Springville, sent in a scanned photo of her grandfather's place of business, the Mountain Bell Telephone Company. The image from 1913 shows all of the phone companies employees outside the office on their motorcycles and in their horse drawn wagons. It was another time and another era. Kronmiller later donated the photo to the Utah State Historical Society, so others can enjoy the image.
Clarence Kemp of Layton sent photographs of the dedication of the Relief Society Building in 1955. These are wonderful color images of that event. Kemp's grandmother was Belle Spafford President of Relief Society.
In the weeks to come we will have on our website color home movies that were sent in by another reader. Those movies show a University of Utah Football game and General Conference in 1938 — before Europe and America went to war. There is also a film of the construction of the Los Angeles Temple and several other church sites. This family chose to donate these films to the Church History Library who digitized them.
The Church History Library also has early film from the Clawson Brothers, showing life in Utah from 1912 to 1935. It is a real treasure to watch Joseph F. Smith walking around the temple and then to see a later film of his casket being taken out of the Beehive house to his last resting place. The collection also captures 24th of July parades, and Boy Scout events in southern Utah. There is also Heber J. Grant walking with the Crown Prince of Sweden and meeting with Utah Governor George H. Dern on the capitol steps in 1926.
Each week as this story is prepared we take a glimpse into Utah life in the not too distant past to all the way back to the mid 19th Century. Opening files, and scanning negatives is exciting. We get to share great photos with you, including some that were probably never meant to be seen.
You get to see images of presidents, church leaders, kings and queens, crimes, fires, people shopping, families going to events and Holidays, tragedies, homecomings — all of life at its best and worst. All these images inspire emotion; the photographs at the Deseret News have been clicking away since the turn of the Century. Their job is to deliver to you the reader the action and the writers to convey the story.
We again invite you to send us your photos, which others would enjoy. If you have captured a photo of a great community event, or the opening of some attraction, we encourage you to join in and submit your old photos to us here at the Deseret News at email@example.com.

diaspora is a distributed social networking platform comprised of nodes, called pods. These pods are linked together to allow users to connect seamlessly. This idea is different from the traditional social network, where user data is centralized and controlled by a single entity. diaspora is also free as in speech, so you can use it however you like. diaspora* also values your privacy. You don't have to use your real identity, and you have complete control over who sees your content using Aspects.
Read on to learn more about how to get started on diaspora* and get the latest updates from Fedora once you're there.
Getting Started
The first step in getting started with diaspora* is to select a pod. Your pod is where your data is stored. You can select a pod based on any criteria, such as geographic location, uptime, or which domain you like best. Fedora is hosted on diasp.org, and this is a great place to start. But you can find a list of available pods, along with their locations, uptime, and supported services, at podupti.me. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even create your own pod. You can find pod installation instructions on the diaspora* project wiki.
Setting up an account on diasp.org
Connect With Fedora
Once you're set up on diaspora*, you can find Fedora either by searching for firstname.lastname@example.com, or by visiting dia.so/fedora. On the Fedora page, click Add Contact in the top right-hand corner of the window. Then select the Aspect you'd like to add Fedora to. Once you do this, any new updates from Fedora appear on your stream.

Another week has passed, and the major OTA-11 software update for the Ubuntu mobile operating system, which powers the Ubuntu Phone and Tablet devices, is getting closer to a final release.
Canonical's Łukasz Zemczak has emailed the community today, May 25, 2016, with fresh details from the Ubuntu Touch land. And it looks like things are going well for the development cycle of the OTA-11 update, which should arrive next week, as the Release Candidate (RC) image has just entered its final testing stage.
Once the Ubuntu QA finishes all the rigorous tests of the Ubuntu Touch OTA-11 candidates, the major software update will be immediately pushed to the stable channels for all supported Ubuntu Phone devices, as well as the new Ubuntu Tablet, BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition, as a phased update during a 24-hour period.

LibreOffice is a big project, with over 7 million lines of source code and hundreds of developers, testers, translators and other contributors spread across the globe. With so much activity going on, it can be difficult to keep track of recent developments – so here are a few pointers to keep you in the loop.
Upcoming releases
The current supported release of LibreOffice is 5.1, and the latest bug-fix version is 5.1.3. There are three more bug-fix updates due this year, so see this wiki page for information on the release schedule. The last planned update will be 5.1.6, due in October.
Meanwhile, the development team is working hard on LibreOffice 5.2, which is scheduled to be released in the first week of August. A beta version (for testing) is due very soon – keep an eye on this blog for more information. You can also see a mid-development list of new features in 5.2, but bear in mind that everything is subject to change!
Team calls
Many teams inside the LibreOffice project have regular audio or video calls to catch up, share ideas and ask questions. These teams also share minutes (notes) from the meetings afterwards, so that others can keep track of news and developments.
For instance, the Engineering Steering Committee (ESC) usually has a call every Thursday to discuss technical aspects of the project: release engineering, new features, quality assurance, mentoring new developers, and other matters. Minutes from these are posted on the projects mailing list – see the archive here (search for "minutes of ESC" for recent calls).
Similarly, the Design Team holds regular Hangouts to discuss user interface changes and usability enhancements. Then there's the Infrastructure Team, which has calls to talk about the hardware and software that's used by LibreOffice contributors, and the Documentation Team, which has just started regular calls to coordinate content and bring in new writers. Minutes from all of these teams are also posted on the projects list.
Finally, The Document Foundation's Board of Directors has regular meetings to discuss organisational aspects: finances, budget requests, the yearly conference and so forth. Minutes from these meetings are available on the wiki.
Annual Report
A good summary of last year's activity in the LibreOffice project is provided in the Annual Report. This is currently being worked on, and will have detailed updates from the native language projects, hackfests, development and QA teams, plus information on donations received throughout 2015 and other aspects of the project.
We'll post an update on this blog when the 2015 Annual Report is available – meanwhile you can read about what happened in LibreOffice during 2014 in the previous report.
Manjaro leader Philip Müller announced this past weekend that the major MATE 1.14 desktop environment had finally landed in the main software repositories of the Arch Linux-based distribution.
Usually, the Manjaro Linux repos are filled with new software released from time to time, bundled as update packs, based on the latest updates from the Arch Linux repositories. However, this time around, the Manjaro Linux devs had to step up their game and take control of the maintenance of the MATE packages for the distribution.
Why? Because it looks like the MATE packages in Arch Linux are no longer maintained, and the last version offered there is 1.12.1, released in December 2015. Therefore, if you're using Manjaro Linux, you can now update the MATE desktop environment to the latest 1.14 version, read more)
Check out the fantastic announcements and reveals that are in store for our marathon streaming event.
We reported at the beginning of the month that the openSUSE Tumbleweed developers are preparing a massive package rebuild to make the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 6 the default compiler for the rolling operating system.
Migrating to a new default compiler is the hardest task for a Linux kernel-based operating system, as almost all the pre-installed packages need to be rebuilt using the new compiler, and package maintainers have a hard time during this transition.
And it looks like openSUSE Tumbleweed developers have run into some trouble today, May 23, 2016, as Dominique Leuenberger asked the community to help test the packages that fail to build with GCC 6, or that need special attention.
"Dear openSUSE Hackers, as you're doubtless aware, we're trying to move to GCC 6 as our default compiler," sai… (read more)
Black Lab Software CEO Roberto J. Dohnert informs Softpedia today, May 23, 2016, about the immediate availability for download of the first point release of the Black Lab Linux 7.6 operating system.

We have decided to extend the contest by a week as there are still lots of contributions coming in and with the work coming from people's donated time, we wanted to give a larger chance to others that might have been busy with other things.

Android is the world's largest and most popular mobile operating system, by far. But popularity, and its openness, have security and privacy trade-offs. At this year's Google I/O developer conference, we got a look at some of the features keeping us safe in the very near future.

Today, May 23, 2016, Alessio Fattorini has informed Softpedia about the release and immediate availability for download of the third Alpha build of the upcoming NethServer 7 server-oriented operating system.
NethServer 7 Alpha 3 is here today, ready for public testing, after being in development for the past three months, during which the hard-working team of developers led by Alessio Fattorini managed to implement long-anticipated features like Active Directory integration and a centralized account management.
But there are many other things to get excited about, as NethServer 7 Alpha 3 comes with a new Account Management module, which was designed from the ground up to let users connect a remote NethServer system running OpenLDAP open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), as well as a remote Active Directory (AD) domain controller, such as Sa… (read more)
Know an awesome piece of Fedora news? Have a good idea for a Fedora how-to? Do you or someone you know use Fedora in an interesting way? We're always looking for new contributors to write awesome, relevant content. The Magazine is run by the Fedora community — and that's all of us. You can help too!
What content does the Magazine need?
Glad you asked. We often feature material for desktop users, since there are many of them out there! But that's not all we publish. We want the Magazine to feature lots of different content for the general public.
Sysadmins and power users
We love to publish articles for system administrators and power users who dive under the hood. Here are some recent examples:
We don't forget about developers, either. We want to help people use Fedora to build and make incredible things. Here are some recent articles focusing on developers:
Interviews, projects, and links
We also feature interviews with people using Fedora in interesting ways. We even link to other useful content about Fedora. We've run interviews recently with people using Fedora to educate, power lasers, or create better photography. If you find content about Fedora you think would be interesting to our readers, let us know.
How do I get started?
It's easy to start writing for Fedora Magazine! You just need to have decent skill in written English, since that's the language in which we publish. Our editors can help polish your work for maximum impact.
The writers and editors use the Fedora Marketing mailing list to plan future articles. Create a new thread to that list and introduce yourself. If you have some ideas for posts, add them to your message as well. The Magazine team will then guide you through getting started. The team also hangs out on #fedora-mktg on Freenode. Drop by, and we can help you get started.

A sexually healthy and responsible congregation is free from sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct. Congregations need explicit policies and procedures to keep children, youth, and vulnerable adults safe from abuse and harassment; strong codes of conduct for religious professionals, and safeguards for congregants who have been accused or convicted of sexual offenses.
In 2014-2015, the Religious Institute developed the Sexually Safer Best Practice Initiative. A national colloquium of experts in safety policies and religious institutions was held in November 2014. At the colloquium, the experts developed consensus about the most important policies and practices that every congregation –regardless of size, denomination, theology, location, or demographic composition – – should have in place.
A congregational commitment to sexual safety involves the religious leaders, the board, the religious educators, the parents, volunteers, and indeed every member of the congregation.
Watch this short video to learn how your congregation can become a Sexually Safer Best Practice Congregation.
The goal of these 18 practices is to assure that a congregation has a commitment to up-to-date well-publicized policies and procedures to prevent sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and professional sexual misconduct.
Each of the 18 best practices of a sexually safer congregation are presented below, along with suggestions on how they can be demonstrated and notes on how smaller congregations can meet the criteria. Congregations that do not have professional leadership or children and youth among its members can address fourteen of the criteria. Where indicated, links to sample policies, program outlines, or templates follow to give congregations ideas to adapt for their own policies or procedures. [Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement by the Religious Institute for the organization, training or policy.]

Demonstrated by a written policy that at minimum includes review by committee members with expertise in adolescents, support for both families and young people and not allowing offending adolescent unsupervised time with other children in congregation activities.
NOTE FOR SMALL CONGREGATIONS without families with children or youth: Policy should specifically address that members who have children or adolescent relatives visiting the congregation who have had a history of sexually abusing or assaulting a child or youth must be supervised and in the company of that adult at all times.
Sample Policy for Adolescent Offender
Ongoing Commitment
Sexual safety and abuse prevention is part of an ongoing commitment of congregation.
Demonstrated by actions such as statements on website and/or written materials; sexuality education in religious education that includes sex abuse prevention; social action campaigns as indicated in community or state; and/or including pamphlets and flyers from community resources that address sexuality and sexual abuse and violence in vestibule, pamphlet racks, bulletin boards, sermons on sexual abuse, etc.
Congregation Self-Assessment
Congregations that meet a minimum of three-quarters of the best practice criteria can receive the Best Practice Seal. The Worksheet for Internal Planning (PDF) can be used as a planning document by a congregation committee.
Once three-quarters of the relevant criteria are met, the Online Self-Assessment Form and a copy of the congregations' sexually safer policy can be submitted online to the Religious Institute for review.
Congregations are responsible for their own self-assessments and the Religious Institute does not certify or assess if the submitted information is accurate, factual, or being implemented. Self-assessments should be done at least biannually to assure that policies are current and relevant to the congregation.

Or, use your linked account:
What? Taxes going up? That's it - we need to elect some Republicans to this county board.
Really?? We need 25 more police officers? I saw that many driving around Easter Sunday. Unless they were out looking for someone, they didn't appear to be in any hurry. My neighbor called the police because my own dog went to the bathroom in my front yard. I picked it up. The police came running like I had committed some kind of crime. Can you spell "BORED". And anyone who believes that the courts decide innocence or guilt hasn't been through the court system. Unless you have alot of money, public defenders are going to plea bargain your case with the prosecutor before it ever gets to a Judge. And never mind the corruption,
Moreover, writes Lindsay: "Ebert is the state's ace when it comes to capital cases. He has won 13 convictions—more than twice as many as Robert Horan, the 40-year Fairfax prosecutor who retired in 2007. Four of the 16 inmates on death row—including sniper John Muhammad—were prosecuted by Ebert." That's what makes Jackson's opinion of his conduct all the more damning.
Jackson's 57-page memorandum opinion is scathing in its findings of prosecutorial misbehavior by Ebert and his assistant, Richard A. Conway. Conduct evidently included choreographing and coordinating witness testimony, withholding tapes of witness interviews from the defense, and knowingly allowing false testimony to be introduced at trial. Jackson finds that prosecutors failed to turn over a report showing that it was police detectives who first introduced the idea to Barber that Wolfe had masterminded the killing, and who gave him the option of implicating Wolfe or receiving the death penalty.
Written by a federal judge concerning prince william county's own prosecutors?? Research it yourself.
The police end up going to the same houses over and over. I have seen it in every place I have ever lived. Of couse they can't always know every call but if it is coming from the same address for the same stupid reasons just don't bother to go there. If someone wants to stay in an idiotic violent relationship why should it be our problem?
still racist.. I pay taxes too and I'm tired of people assuming things about others based on the color of their skin. #Sterling, #racist, #stfu, #isaracist.
@STFU - You're an obvious idiot.
@fedupwithstupidcomments - How many people pay to watch academic events. Many of students issues with learning is that parents take NO responsibility in the tasks, which in turn leaves their students hanging.
@Cecily - So how would emergency services KNOW what the situation is, if they do not respond? Additionally, only the courts deem who are innocent and who are guilty, so your point shows everyone how clueless you are.
Unless you mean Alcoholics Anonymous, you are racist.
Well that's the truth. #ImATaxpayerAndSickOf-it
That's racist.
I hope they hire some AAs police officers. So sick of seeing the department looking like a heavy snowfall.
We wouldn't need so many police officers if losers would stop calling the police to resolve their domestic disputes. I think the police, fire and ambulance services should only be used for true emergencies of innocent people. Every week the cops are at one of my neighbors house resolving some kind of issue. That is a big waste of our tax dollars just because some loser needs attention. How about they stop showing up and let the neighbors resolve their own problems. Too often emergency services are for uneducated low-class people who are out causing trouble.
I'm all for keeping sports in middleschool, but why are we installing turf at middle schools. Understand in long term it is less expensive, but why not at the numerious high scchools with less then standard grass fields. Or better yet, back into the classroom. And don't get on me that these fields are under the park bond, I get it. But as with most budget decisions it just doesn't make logical sense.
BTW: My son plays sports and would benefit from the middle school fields, just thing it would be better spent at the high school level.

Police target inner-city crime
Relevant offers
Capital Life
The bobby on the beat has been bolstered by a new team of police set up to target crime in Wellington's central city.
Led by Senior Sergeant Hamish Milne, the group of six police, wearing high-vis vests, hit the streets a month ago, working with businesses to identify and resolve problems in and around the Golden Mile.
Statistics show that a third of the capital's crime happens in the inner-city stretch between Parliament and the end of Courtenay Pl.
Prevention manager Senior Sergeant Mark Buttar says the Wellington City Prevention Team was set up as part of a new targeted approach to reduce crime in the central city.
Police have already taken control of the monitoring of Wellington City Council's network of CCTV cameras and a new roster system means more police are out targeting alcohol-fuelled crime on Friday and Saturday nights.
Victims, central city residents and retailers backed the new approach this year, after what they perceived to be an increasing level of crime at weekends.
The initiative is part of the police's new Prevention First model, which aims to reduce crime by 13 per cent by 2015.
Reported crime for the capital is already down 23 per cent on this time last year and it is hoped a more preventative approach in the central city will have even more of an impact, Mr Buttar says.
Dishonesty-related offences make up about two-thirds of inner- city crime so one of the new central city team's main focuses is working with businesses - shops, bars and carparks - often targeted by thieves, to "crime harden" them to stop things being stolen, he says.
Police have suggested coat checks in many bars will prevent the theft of cellphones, handbags and clothing. Increased security measures in some carparks is also being discussed, he says.
"Our mindset has definitely changed in that we are making this prevention first rather than prevention last."

Emperor Palpatine
this wiki
|Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
|~ Emperor Palpatine
|Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side!
|~ Emperor Palpatine taunting Luke.
|~ Darth Sidious killing Mace Windu.
Emperor Sheev Palpatine, also secretly known as Darth Sidious, is the main antagonist of the Star Wars saga, including the film trilogy and TV franchise. He was an extremely powerful Sith Lord who was also Darth Plagueis' former apprentice and the founder of the Galactic Empire.
He was portrayed by Ian McDiarmid.
Early LifePalpatine was born on Naboo and very early on showed himself to be a violent, spoiled, and misanthropic sociopath who used his rich family's connections to get him out of trouble even when he indulged in reckless driving that hurt others and killed two people. Palpatine was expelled from one of the highest education in Naboo and possibly the entire galaxy. Palpatine also despised his father, Consinga Palpatine, whom he viewed as a weakling and a coward. This resentment would come to a head when the younger Palpatine killed his parents, his two younger brothers and his two sisters, and in his later master's words "Baptized himself in the Dark Side". In his thirties, he was the senator of Naboo. Palpatine subsequently became the apprentice to Darth Plagueis but betrayed him and killed him after he "became unnecessary" due to teaching Palpatine too much too quickly. It was during his apprenticeship to Plagueis that Palpatine took on his first apprentice Darth Maul, who he decided to kidnap, treat as a tool and mercilessly abused and tortured in the name of turning him into the ultimate living weapon with one purpose, kill the Jedi.
Episode I: The Phantom Menace
|Wipe them out. All of them!
|~ Darth Sidious authorizing the Battle of Naboo
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi arrive on the Trade Federation Control ship in order to negotiate, as requested from the Queen of Naboo. After their arrival, Darth Sidious interrupts their mission by ordering Viceroy Gunray to assassinate the ambassadors. When the Jedi escape, the Dark Lord has the viceroy end all communication in the Senate building.
As part of Emperor Palpatine's plan to become the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, he promises Queen Amidala that he will "end the corruption," as her people were suffering while the Trade Federation's control on the Naboo system increased. Delegates and other members of the Senate continued to argue, and even the Chancellor, failed to make any decisive action. During a Senate meeting, Amidala finally agrees with the senator to "call for a vote of no confidence" in Chancellor Valorum's leadership, and elect a new, stronger chancellor, to stop the tragedy.
After the defeat of the Dark Lord's possibly most loyal apprentice, Darth Maul, in a duel with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, he successfully becomes the new Chancellor of the Republic and also murdered his master Darth Plagueis shortly after, noting as he did that Plagueis was only his teacher, never his master. His future apprentice Darth Vader was a child at the time and the decision was made that he would be trained to become a Jedi. At that point, he officially controlled both sides of the war.
Episode II: Attack of the Clones
| Count Dooku: I have good news for you, my Lord. The war has begun.
Darth Sidious: Excellent. Everything is going as planned.
|~ Count Dooku and Darth Sidious
In the second episode of the first trilogy, Palpatine plays a large role in starting a larger-scale war, the Clone Wars. Darth Sidious has his new apprentice, Count Dooku, unifying the groups of Separatists to create a secret battle droid army, the largest in the galaxy. After Obi-Wan's discovery of the planet Kamino, an ocean-planet with a cloning facility holding thousands of trained human clones, Chancellor Palpatine is given immediate emergency powers in order to use the clone army against the Trade Federation.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
During the Clone Wars Darth Sidious plotted and masterminded many events and acts that led to him gaining more power. Darth Sidious first recruited the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress to find Anakin and eliminate him but saw that she would fail and was only an instrument that would lead to the downfall of the Jedi.
Later Palpatine arranged a plot to recruit Jabba the Hutt to join the Separatists by kidnapping his son Rotta and framing the Jedi as the culprits. The plan eventually failed but the tide still turned in Sidious' favor as Jabba allowed the Republic to use the Hutt hyperspace lanes.
At another time Nute Gunray was captured by Senator Amidala and taken into custody to face trial on Coruscant for his war crimes. Palpatine praised the senator, but this angered the Dark Lord. Communicating with Darth Tyranus via hologram, Darth Sidious told him how dangerous this situation was as the weak-minded viceroy would likely slip vital information and retrieve him fast. Dooku told his master that he will send his apprentice Ventress who Sidious saw as useless but allowed him to proceed. Ventress successfully rescued Gunray without him telling the Jedi about his existence.
Darth Sidious' next plan would make a huge impact on the galaxy. Darth Sidious plotted to steal a Jedi holocron that contained a list of the galaxy's Force-sensitive children that he planned to kidnap and turn into his loyal spies. First the Sith Lord hired bounty hunter Cad Bane via hologram to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple vaults with plans that he provided that allowed Bane to successfully steal the holocron. Next he required Bane to retrieve a memory crystal that would activate the information hidden in the holocron from a Jedi Master named Bolla Ropal in the Mid Rim. Cad Bane captured and tortured Ropal who eventually gave Bane the crystal and had Anakin open the holocron by threatening his Padawan Ahsoka who used the Force to open it.
Escaping from the Jedi, Cad Bane retreated to his hideout and contacted Sidious through holographic transmission and told the Sith Lord of his success. Darth Sidious next told Bane to kidnap four children from the list and bring them to Mustafar. Cad Bane only managed to kidnap two children before he was captured by the Jedi. The Jedi later reported to Chancellor Palpatine who discussed with Anakin if they found who was behind the plot. Anakin stated that a far more powerful being other than Bane or Dooku was behind the event and not suspecting Palpatine at all which satisfied the Chancellor.
On Mustafar, Darth Sidious observed the children through hologram using an astromech droid. Sidious told the nanny droids of the children's natural talent and how he would harness that power for his own needs. Looking into the future Sidious saw a vision of Force spies trained in the dark side that would appear in every corner of the galaxy doing his bidding. The nanny droid told the Dark Lord that the surgery would possibly kill them but Sidious cared nothing for the children and said that if the procedure failed he would lose nothing.
As the surgery was about to happen, an alert from a nanny droid told the Sith Lord of an incoming shuttle that was approaching and it did not belong to the bounty hunter. This surprised Sidious as he did not foresee this and ordered the droids to evacuate the children and destroy the facility to protect his identity and ended the transmission quickly. The Jedi rescued the children and thwarted Sidious' plans.During the Republic occupation of the neutral world of Mandalore, the Death Watch hoped to reclaim the planet from pacifists and join the Separatists cause once the planet was secured. Aboard a Separatist ship, Count Dooku contacted his Master that Death Watch was prepared to fight off the Republic forces when they arrive, and the splinter group will be viewed as saviors by the people. Darth Sidious expressed concern about possible interference by the Duchess Satine, but was assured by Dooku that a Death Watch assassin would take care of her, causing the Sith Lord to smirk.
Later in the war, Asajj Ventress grew stronger in the ways of the dark side of the Force. Through a hologram Darth Sidious accused Tyranus of wanting to overthrow him as Dark Lord which shocked his apprentice who stated his loyalty belonged only to his Master. Sidious then demanded proof and ordered him to eliminate Ventress which the Count sadly obliged to. After assuming success in the death of his former disciple, Dooku contacted Sidious of his apparent success. Satisfied, Darth Sidious praised his apprentice for once again proving his loyalty.
In a second attempt to invade Naboo, the Separatist launched an assault to conquer the planet. The Gungan Army fought against the droid army and Captain Tarpals battled General Grievous and subdued him at the cost of his life. From a secret headquarters hidden inside an ancient Naboo structure, Count Dooku received orders from Darth Sidious. The Sith Lord stated that Grievous is an integral part of his plan for the Clone Wars and told his apprentice to lure Anakin into a trap, capture him and arrange a prisoner exchange. Sidious assured Tyranus that Senator Amidala will agree to the terms.
Darth Sidious later had his apprentice kidnap an entire colony of people from the planet Kiros and sell them into slavery that would rebuild his Sith Empire. Aligning with the Zygerrians to resurrect the slave empire, the captured people were brought to the prison planet Kadavo to await processing. En route to Zygerria aboard his solar sailor, Count Dooku communicated with his Master. Darth Sidious lectured of how long Sith Empires have been built upon the backs of slaves and told his apprentice that to carry on this tradition millions of slaves will be required. Darth Sidious ordered Dooku to gain the Zygerrian Queen Miraj Scintel's cooperation or to end her rule if she fails to comply.
During the Banking Clan crisis, the banks had become bankrupt and Palpatine sent Padme to Scipio to deal with the matters. As the Dark Lord, Sidious hired bounty hunter Embo to originally assassinate the Banking Clan representative Rush Clovis but he managed to escape the planet with the aid of Padme and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Embo contacted Sidious and was pleased to hear of the success and assured the bounty hunter that he would deal with them himself.
Later the Muun Nix Card contacted Darth Sidious and reported that Clovis had managed to escape with the evidence of the bank records. Sidious stated that Nix would be protected in the scandal. The Sith Lord later contacted Dooku on Serreno and devised a plan that would place Clovis in command of the Banking Clan as a puppet leader but first Tyranus had to entrap the senator.
After placing Clovis in office and framing him by aligning Scipio with the Separatists and massacring the Republic forces, the Senate called for an emergency session and the Chancellor launched a mercy mission. As Dooku was leaving the planet, Sidious contacted him with an update and told him that Republic forces were on their way. Tyranus informed his Master that the deception was complete. The Dark Lord stated because of the treachery, control of the banks would be placed in the hands of the Supreme Chancellor as Sidious cackled with delight.
In an unexpected turn of events, the long forgotten Sith Lord Darth Maul was discovered to be alive by the Jedi which reported back to the Chancellor startling Palpatine at this revelation. After the briefing, the Chancellor told the Jedi to ignore the Sith brothers and their focus should be on finding Dooku and bring the Clone Wars to an end then dismissed the Jedi from his office. As the Jedi left, Palpatine sat in his chair and smirked as he had plans for the rogue Sith in the future.
Later in the Chancellor's Office, Palpatine mediated and sensed the increasing power of the Nightbrothers on the planet Mandalore. Mas Amedda entered and was told to prepare the Chancellor's shuttle which Palpatine took to Mandalore in order to confront the brothers in his secret persona Darth Sidious. Upon arriving, a robed and hooded Sidious Force chokes two Shadow Collective members and rode a speeder to the royal palace where he confronted the brothers in the throne room. Sidious enters the throne room easily choking two guards to death and exchanges a few words with his former apprentice and looks at his brother, Savage Opress. Darth Sidious declared Maul a rival and Force pushed Maul and his brother into the wall windows cackling.
After releasing the brothers from his telekinetic grip, Maul and Savage ignited their lightsabers while Sidious summoned two from the sleeves of his robe to duel them. The battle moved from the throne room to the balcony where Savage pushed him off while Sidious Forced pulled Maul and Savage to the ground below. The Dark Lord Force pushed Maul to a wall briefly knocking him out while Sidious dueled Savage alone and in mere seconds impaled the Nightbrother in the chest killing him. As Maul rushed to his dying brother, the magicks left his body and Sidious cackled and told Maul the Rule of Two and leaped to the plaza below continuing their duel. Maul charged at Sidious with both his saber and the darksaber and after a brief duel, Sidious disarmed Maul and brutally battered him against the wall and ground. Broken and exhausted Maul begged for mercy and the Dark Lord replied there was no mercy and launched a barrage of Force lightning on his former apprentice. Darth Sidious cackled with glee as he tells the defeated Nightbrother that his plans don't involve killing him, but has other uses for him.
Near the end of the war, Darth Sidious faced some unexpected events. During a battle of the Ringo Vinda system, a clone seemed to have a mental breakdown and shot and killed a Jedi Knight for no apparent reason. The Separatist Admiral Trench saw the event and reported the betrayal to Count Dooku. On Serenno, Lord Tyranus made contact with his Master via hologram to report the clone incident. Sidious worried that it would expose evidence of the Sith Lord's secret programming and ordered Tyranus to seize the clone for examination.
As the Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine learned the clone trooper Tup died and another clone named Fives may have discovered the conspiracy. The Chancellor than suggested the clone be brought to Coruscant for medical attention which the Jedi reluctantly agreed to. Arriving at the medical station, the Jedi and the Chancellor met with the clone and asked if he could speak with Fives in private. Palpatine then framed Fives for an assassination attempt and issued a manhunt for the clone. Fives eventually was killed and died without spilling a word of the conspiracy. Later in his office, Palpatine told the Jedi that his personal doctors discovered a virus that Tup and Fives had inside of them from Ringo Vinda as the source of their mental breakdowns which the Jedi believed. Darth Sidious later made contact with his apprentice that protocol 66 has been undiscovered and the Jedi will soon learn of it as Sidious cackled.
Some time later, the Jedi discovered a shipwreck on the planet Oba Diah belonging to the Jedi Master who was killed long ago, Sifo-Dyas. Darth Sidious later learned the Jedi were looking into the investigation of Dyas and worried they would uncover secrets not meant to be discovered. Sidious appeared to his apprentice as a large hologram and demanded to know why the Jedi were sniffing around the loose end that is Sifo-Dyas. The Dark Lord demanded that Tyranus and the Separatists clean up the affairs lest their plans be threatened. Sidious made sure his apprentice understood what it meant if he failed by Force choking him through the hologram then ended the transmission.
During the conflict, Darth Sidious looked into the Force and saw Master Yoda was on Moraband, the ancient homeworld of the Sith, and summoned his apprentice back to Coruscant. In the LiMerge Building on the industrial side of the planet, Tyranus met with his Master and plotted to strike a devastating blow on the Jedi Order. In a ceremonial chamber with statues lining the room, Darth Sidious told his apprentice of Yoda's location and since Dooku was his apprentice, they have a strong bond through the Force that could be exploited. Sidious cut Dooku's hand and blood spilled into the altar filled with water as both zapped the water with Sith lightning while Sidious recited an ancient Sith incantation creating an illusion for Yoda on Moraband that would lead the Jedi into a trap.
In the illusion, Sidious appeared to Yoda as Sifo-Dyas in disguise and tempted the Jedi with the knowledge of Sidious' identity. Yoda refused and suddenly Sifo-Dyas transformed into a cackling Sidious and surrounded him with chains of energy. Forced into a deeper illusion, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker along with a squad of clones arrived at the LiMerge Building and confronted the Sith Lords. Anakin engages Dooku while Yoda confronts the hooded Dark Lord who escapes and Anakin kills Dooku by severing his head. Darth Sidious ignites his lightsaber and Yoda his and engage in fierce whirling duel. Anakin attempts to enter the duel but is blasted unconscious by Sidious' lightning. Sidious taunted Yoda stating if he lets Anakin die it thwart his plans of eliminating the Jedi Order yet the Jedi Master sacrificed himself saving Skywalker.
Yoda hurled his saber at Sidious and both plummeted to the ground below while Sidious cackled and when Yoda attempted to remove his hood, he found the robes to be empty.
Back on Coruscant, Darth Sidious emerged from the glowing sacrificial altar. The illusion had ended and failed to break the Jedi Master's spirit and the Dark Lord told Tyranus they would need more time to defeat Yoda and destroy the Jedi Order.
Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious watched through hologram a sparring session between Lord Tyranus and General Grievous.
Tyranus lectured Grievous of the importance of mastering his lightsaber skills and to ensure victory not be reckless. Appearing before them on a mechno-chair, Sidious praised Dooku's counsel and asked Grievous for the report from the front. The general told the Sith Lord that the Jedi forces are stretched thin across the Outer Rim which Sidious seemed pleased with. Darth Sidious then told both that the time to strike was now and to launch their final operation and asked Grievous if everything was ready for his "special mission" and Grievous affirmed the Dark Lord that everything is in place.
Striking a devastating attack on the Republic capital, General Grievous entered with the Droid Army and launched a full scale invasion of the planet. Grievous' mission was to capture the Supreme Chancellor who was protected by a squad of clone troopers and Jedi protectors. Through the whole pursuit Palpatine seemed calm and at times sarcastic. After disposing of the clones, Grievous chased the Jedi and Chancellor all through the city-planet until finally disarming the Jedi. Grievous captured Palpatine and seemed annoyed at his charismatic nature. The Chancellor later boarded a ship that took him to the Separatist flagship The Invisible Hand and placed in the tall spire tower of the ship and placed on a throne with shackles on the arm rests. Setting the events of the third film.
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
|Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy and we shall have... peace.
|~ Darth Sidious to Darth Vader
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
|The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.
|~ The Emperor to Darth Vader
While the Emperor made no appearance in the Episode IV: A New Hope, he made a very short but first appearance in a hologram projection while communicating with Lord Vader. He told Vader to prevent the son of Anakin Skywalker, Luke, from becoming a Jedi, as he could become a serious threat. When Vader suggest turning him to the Dark Side of the Force, the Emperor agrees and orders Vader to capture Luke and bring the young Jedi before him.
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Palpatine reappears as the main antagonist. In the original trilogy, he didn't appear in person until the final film, Return of the Jedi, although at that time, he talked to Vader about a new enemy who was strong in the Force, Luke Skywalker, who was Vader's own son. In Return of the Jedi, Palpatine ordered Darth Vader to capture Luke Skywalker. After Luke defeated Vader in a duel, Palpatine encouraged him to kill Vader and become his new apprentice. When Luke refused, the enraged Emperor attacked Luke with Force Lightning, causing him horrible pain. The reborn Anakin Skywalker could not stand to see his son in so much pain, so he grabbed the Emperor from behind and hurled him down to his death at the bottom of the main reactor shaft, completely obliterating him in an explosion of dark energy. Unfortunately the wild lightning coming from the Emperor's hands while Anakin carried him eventually proved fatal to the cyborg and damaged Vader's life support.
Sidious is a complete megalomaniac, a person whose lust for power was so strong it wouldn't be satisfied until the entire galaxy was underneath his thumb. Sidious displayed psychopathic behaviourisms, he wore a metaphorical mask of normalacy, sympathy and benevolence as his public Chancellor Sheev Palpatine he was modest, calm, grandfatherly and humble but used Machiavellian tactics in politics.
In reality, Palpatine proved to an underhand and master manipulator, possibly due to his time in politics. Sidious was a master of disguise and even faked his own kidnapping at the hands of Count Dooku and General Grievous so his true personality as the Dark Sith Lord would go undiscovered. Sidious was proven to be seductive as he was able to trick the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker into believing that it were the Jedi who were evil and even turned him into his apprentice Darth Vader.
In addition to being a master of manipulation, Lord Sidious was highly intelligent, proving to be an incredible strategist and mastermind: he was capable of effortlessly manipulating situations throughout his life to his own advantage. He was also extremely exploitative, shrewd and incredibly devious, capable of outwitting any opponent with little or no difficulty. He was a master of strategy and exploitation, able to manipulate the events of the Battle of Endor to his full advantage so that he can destroy the rebels and turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side, the latter being without pulling out his lightsaber.
Furthermore Sidious was a mostly callous and arrogant person, he carries many apprentices but does not care for them and only sticks with them for as long they are useful towards him and when they outlived that he merely throws them aside, an example of this would be when Skywalker was rescuing Palpatine and had Dooku at his mercy, Sidious persuaded him to kill Dooku which he did. On top of the Death Star, Vader was held at Lightsaber-point by his son and Sidious showed no concern as he ordered Luke to kill him (to no avail). He was extremely arrogant and overconfident to a fault, and did nothing for anyone but himself. This arrogance would ultimately lead to his downfall at the hands of Darth Vader.
Sidious was intensely sadistic and cruel, known for even creating life forms for the sheer purpose of personally causing them pain. He smiled when Dooku was at Anakin Skywalker's mercy, sneered constantly whilst fighting with Savage Opress and Darth Maul, and laughed hysterically whilst duelling Yoda. He would become extremely reckless whilst experiencing this sadistic pleasure that contributed to be his downfall, as shown in Return of the Jedi when he tortured Luke as opposed to simply killing him - which he was completely capable of doing - whilst completely ignoring Darth Vader, who managed to destroy him.
Sidious has also developed sever paranoia when his former protege Darth Maul had returned from the dead he saw him as a rival and personally sought to defeat him himself. When he sensed that Dooku's protege Asaaj Ventress was becoming even more powerful, he ordered Dooku to eliminate her.
Powers and skills
In addition to being a brilliant mastermind, Sidious was incredibly powerful: he was arguably one of the strongest Force users to ever live. He was capable of manipulating entire starships with his telekinetic abilities, and easily hurled Senate seats at Yoda during their duel. He was also extremely proficient with Sith Lightning - his signature power - and could launch entire storms of electricity from his hands at opponents. However, beings like Yoda were capable of countering and even overcoming this particular discipline. He was an incredibly talented lightsaber swordsman, possibly one of the greatest swordsmen of his time, and in the Sith Order. He was next to unstoppable in a duel because of his extraordinary speed, dexterity, agility, and the fact that he would instinctively switch between lgihtsaber techniques to confuse and overpower his enemies. He, in one certain incident, killed 3 Jedi masters with one single stroke of his blade (though Kit Fisto managed to hold off Palpatine a while but was quickly killed by him), and famously held his own effortlessly against Yoda himself. However, although he maintained the upper hand throughout the majority of his duel with Mace Windu, he was ultimately beaten by the Jedi warrior.
Other Appearances
Palpatine made several other appearances in other TV shows. Some examples are Family Guy (when Cleveland tried to kill Quagmire), and the Mad Scientist once played as Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars Robot Chicken special. When the developers made a Star Wars Family Guy special, Carter Pewterschmidt portrayed Emperor Palpatine, but he was instead known as Emperor Carter.
- Palpatine shares a strong resemblance to Count Dracula in 1992 Dracula film. He also shares a strong resemblance to the 2008 incarnation of Davros.
- In the original script of The Empire Strikes Back, Palpatine was named Cos Dashit, a puppet leader who was controlled by the Moffs. He had no connection to the Force at all. However, Lucas had replace him as the main mastermind of the Saga.
- Palpatine is often considered one of the most evil movie villains ever, as he brought billions of casualties and destroyed many planets around his galaxy during his reign.
- Since the first release of the films, Palpatine has became an iconic villain, along with Vader. He is also the second most recurring villain of Star Wars, second only to the more dangerous Vader.
- His relation with Master Yoda can be compared to that of James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes.
- Darth Sidious is similar to Aku: They're both main villains of a Cartoon Network animated show (The Clone Wars and Samurai Jack), being ancient evil with dark powers, both are trying to kill their archenemies (the Jedi and Samurai Jack) to dominate the lives (and succeeded), and having their minions to help them. Both also aren't defeated at the end of the series (however, Samurai Jack was recently renewed for a fifth season, and also announced a film, implying that Aku could still be defeated by Jack). Their show also include a more ultimate evil than them (Darth Bane and The Black Mass). When Demongo first appeared to Aku, he also said the line Vader said when he contact with Palpatine: "What is thy bidding my master?". However, Aku never want to hurt children despite of his evil soul (as he believes that actually hurting children is going too far), while Sidious not only do that but also enjoy it, even going so far to kill them (only to have more powers), making Sidious far more evil than Aku. Sidious also seems to be insane. In reality, his roles in the prequel saga are similar to some villains worth mentioning:
- In The Phantom Menace, Darth Sidious was similar to Saruman and Sauron from Lord of the Rings (all 3 films): Sidious, Saruman and Sauron are the dark wizards who created many events of the film, and are the main antagonists in their films. Also, despite of this they never confront the heroes in the end but having one of their minions (who happens to be a fighting machine) do that for them.
- In Attack of the Clones, Darth Sidious was similar to Max Denbigh from Spectre: They're both at first appeared to be an official in the governments where the heroes working in, only to be revealed at the end that they're actually working with the main villains of the film (Count Dooku and Ernst Stavro Blofeld).
- Darth Sidious in Star Wars: The Clone Wars series was similar to Aku, as mentioned above.
- His role in Revenge of the Sith could inspired the Joker from The Dark Knight: Both betrayed the criminals who they once dealt with, and fight with a hero who they saw as a nemesis (Master Yoda and Batman) at the end of the movie. Both succeeded in corrupted a hero to their side (Anakin and Harvey Dent), and even succeeded more after these heroes lost their lovers. They also succeeded to rule (despite that the Joker was later defeated). Both of their actions led to devastating consequences in the future, where another villain take the role (Darth Vader and Bane, who also have some similarities).
- One villain that Darth Sidious was similar to is Magneto from the X-Men film series: Both are the main villains of the first and last film of their trilogy, while in the second one they was seems to be friends to the heroes at first but actually used the heroes to succeeded their plans, and also succeeded in one of their plans at the end of the movie. Their minion in the last movie (Darth Vader and Jean Grey) also want to overthrow them, and failed. Both Sidious and Magneto are very old, but are master of lying, and can manipulate many forms of things. Both are archenemies to an old leader of the heroes (Master Yoda to Sidious, Prof X to Magneto). Their goals are also similar: Darth Sidious wants to overthrow the Jedi to bring the Sith to rule, while Magneto wants to overthrow the humans to bring the Mutants to rule.
- He is commonly mistaken as the tertiary antagonist of The Phantom Menace. This is false; Darth Sidious is the true main antagonist, since Darth Maul only makes a few appearances throughout the movie, plus Darth Sidious has bigger plans than anyone else and is the one who drove the major plot of the film. He also has a personal rivalry towards the Jedi, while Maul was simply taught by Sidious to hate them and simply following his orders. Both Darth Sidious and Count Dooku are the primary villains of Star Wars: The Clone Wars series because both villains have big roles, more plans and appearances (despite that some of the appearances of Darth Sidious are as a hologram) than any other villains in the series.
- Supreme Leader Snoke took Palpatine's place in the new trilogy.

I think the show is also excellent and deserves a lot of credit. The worst of it is actually during the fight sequences, which can tend to lag with needless dialogue and very little action for several episodes, although this problem is starting to go away as of about the 80th episode. اجمل.صور.نيك Although the concept of eras was not formally implemented until Grand Theft Auto III, it can be inferred that Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961, the second of the expansion packs, is the last game of the first Grand Theft Auto era canon. اجمل صورسكس جديد The posters suck and the trailers suck. اجمل صدر بالعالم مال لحس للصبح ..boobs Nice Although it is an exact duplicate of the animation.

Gas production has begun from the Rhyl gas field in Morecambe Bay, helping to secure the future of 400 North West jobs and boost energy security for the U.K.
The Rhyl field, located 39km off the coast of Barrow, was first discovered in 2009 and is wholly owned and operated by Centrica Energy. Gas from Rhyl will be produced through Centrica Energy's existing North Morecambe platform, then come onshore to its Barrow terminal complex by pipeline for processing.
This is the first new field to be brought on stream in the region for ten years and extends the life of Centrica's Morecambe Bay operations, taking production well beyond 2020. Earlier this year additional appraisal drilling on the Rhyl reservoir confirmed that it extended further than originally anticipated.

Not the best collaboration, but not the worst ive seen either. It might be because I wasnt really into the whole Lady Noir thing like you were, but I tried to keep that aside. I like the music and because I knew what the stories were about, the story telling wasnt bad. Could use more art work and voice overs on the greed one. But besides that I enjoyed it. I didnt enjoy it alot, but enjoyed it. Since I dont believe in giving out below 5, Ill give it a 7. Not the best of anything ive seen, but not the worst either.
Good music
...but just that. You need to improve some animations, and the story overall
story part is great
animations were that cool, but story and some drawing were nice... ending was the best part :)
many parts were very drawn out and boring. animation wasn't good either
I only watched this as it included a song by Hania in it however i am not impressed.
