Privateer 2 Now Avaliable from GOG
Jonathan Anson / Sep 20th, 2013 No Comments
[adsense250itp]Privateer 2: The Darkening is now available for purchase from GOG. This is the first time the science fiction themed flight simulator has been distributed digitally, physical copies being long out of print.
The game has been entirely optimized for play on modern operating systems and comes free of DRM in keeping with GOG's popular distribution policy. Bonus extras are also packaged with the game and include three manuals, a reference card, wallpaper and a strategy guide. The extras will be downloadable and permanently stored along with the game on user accounts once purchased.
GOG is also holding a special promotion celebrating the game's addition to their catalog. Almost all the Wing Commander games can be purchased for 50% off their regular prices. The only exception to this is Wing Commander: Academy. That game is being sold at a 20% discount instead. The promotion will end Saturday, Sept. 21.
Published in 1996 by Electronic Arts and developed by Origin Systems, Privateer 2: The Darkening is a followup to the groundbreaking Wing Commander: Privateer. Gamers will play as Ser Lev Arris, an amnesiac seeking to solve the mystery of who he is and struggling against those who wish him dead for reasons unknown to him.
Players control the unlucky character as he traverses across the universe. Players can trade, fight, explore, smuggle and hunt bounties in order to survive in the hostile Tri-System. Players can choose to complete the main story or play through one of many subplot missions within a free-roaming world with many planets, enemies and opportunities.
The game's intricate story is told mainly through FMV sequences starring a cast of well-known actors that includes Clive Owen, David Warner, Christopher Walken and John Hurt. The scenes are the game's most distinguishing and recognizable aspects.

Gesto d'Amore by Marinella Monte
What I loved:
The vellum background
The grid layout using journaling cards
The sweet baby photo
Tidbits about Marinella:
How long have you been scrapping?
I am scrapping since 2009
Paper or digi? (or both?)
What is your favourite scrapboooking supply?
It's very difficult to choose something in particular. Maybe most of all I adore papers and embellishments.
Where do you find inspiration?
For my pages my first inspiration is the photo…so every moments of ordinary life or the special moments are important and inspire me.

In a nutshell…
Nitrates are naturally occurring compounds that are created when plants break down nitrogen during photosynthesis. Nitrates become nitrites when they come into contact with bacteria. When nitrate-containing meats are cooked, the nitrites combine with the proteins and they convert into carcinogens.
Manufacturer's add nitrates to meats to preserve their pink color. So with that in mind, backyard barbecues set the stage for a "Nitratepalooza". Everybody loves the sides of potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, garlic bread, and almost everyone's favorite…the meat! Here are a few tips you can use when shopping for your ingredients:
● Choose lean ground beef or turkey for your hamburgers (90/10 or 93/7).
● If you can, choose all beef hot dogs and dogs that are free of nitrates and nitrites. Look for items that are "uncured" or "nitrate and nitrite free".
● Choose low sodium sauces and dressings to top or marinate your meats with.
● Marinate peppers, mushrooms and zucchini in low sodium soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and throw them on the grill.
● Wheat buns are a healthier choice than white buns.
● Offer a refreshing fruit salad to your guests. It's a great way to rehydrate!
● Hamburger topper ideas that I've tried: crispy cucumber slices, sliced avocado, pineapple ring, spinach leaves, or a little spread of low-fat cream cheese
Everyone take care! This heat is crazy.

CD duplication – a CD for every purposeThursday, July 23rd, 2009
CD and DVD duplication process is gaining a lot of popularity these days. It is now undoubtedly, one of the quickest, safest means for producing numerous copies of your data. In the CD duplication process, many copies are produced using a single master disc. In order to create duplicated CDs, burning process needs to be performed. This is done with a device called as CD burner or writer.
Before burning your selected data to a CD-ROM, you have the option to choose between two differing types of blank CD. By using a blank CD-R, this means that once the data is transferred to the CD, it's on there permanently, as CD-R's offer a 'write once' function. This protects your data from being overwritten accidently, and prevents any one else changing it.
The other version is a CD-RW, which is a re-writable version of a CD-Rom. This allows the user to re-burn data on the CD, whether it's music or documents. The general rule of thumb says you can re-burn on a CD-RW up to 1,000 times. To be able to achieve this you must have the correct CD re-writer, and not just a burner.
Once you've decided on which type of CD you think you would use the most, you can buy the correct hardware for your computer, then you are up and running – ready to start duplicating CD's.

TVLine reports that The CW's latest teen-focused soap—the "sexy Archie" series Riverdale—has been renewed for another year. The show's second season will presumably bring fans all of the Betty, Veronica, and Jughead intrigue they've come to love, and way less "Archie banging Ms. Grundy" material, please.
Produced by Greg Berlanti—a.k.a., The CW's personal comic book content factory—Riverdale is showrun by Archie Comics chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. The KJ Apa starring-series has drawn strong reviews for its initial run, which managed to blend some real emotional drama with sentences like "Jughead and Betty team up to solve a murder." Per Wikipedia, the show is bringing in about 2 million viewers a week, not Arrow or The Flash numbers, but apparently enough to keep it in the network's good graces for at least another year.

India is a diverse country and the uniqueness of this nation is a garment called SAREE OR SARI, draped by the Indian women. The draping style of the sari is different in every state as well as by different communities. The Sari can be worn over a choli or blouse which forms the upper garment and can be draped around a lower garment the petticoat.
Saris form the culture in India and each State and its many regions are known for their specific saris. A sari makes a women complete by its drape, accentuating her feminine curves, yet giving her altogether a graceful touch.
The border style isoneof the basic points of distinguish between different sarees from the South Indian region. While contrasting wide borders are popular styles for some of these varieties, there are others with borders not wider than 1 inch. Wrap patterning, dyeing and weaving are the popular practices for designing different types of borders for these sarees.
Coimbatore Sarees:
Coimbatore is the North West region of the state of Tamil Nadu and produces a very fine cotton cloth in an amazing range of traditional and artisan styles. The sarees are all 48″ width or more and the standard six yards. Soft cotton handloom sarees are the specialty of Coimbatore.
Chettinad Sarees:
Chettinad is a region of the Sivaganga district of southern Tamil Nadu state, India. Karaikudi is known as the capital of Chettinad. The uniqueness of these sarees is their bold colors and patterns of checks and stripes in contrasting hues. These sarees are slightly heavier or rather thick and that is one of the reason they are not so much in demand in this fast modern lifestyles.

Technology and the Internet have completely changed the way people all over the World interact and communicate. As online dating brings more and more people to the Web to find friendships and relationships, virtually dating someone you have never met halfway across the World no longer seems like an unconventional outlier. Using tools like video streaming, instant messaging and email, you can easily get to know someone and develop a relationship.
Did you ever see someone you really were attracted to but didn't say or do anything to make that connection? Was it from fear of rejection, shyness or low self esteem? Online dating empowers members to eliminate those concerns and fears.
What motivates someone to seek love online, let alone love on a Website full of Russian and Ukrainian women? Why do some people use unconventional ways to find romance? It's a simple case of "to each his own."
Online dating can provide busy professionals with a no-hassle, low-maintenance way to meet new and interesting people. Virtual dating makes for a unique, intriguing and harmonious courtship, at a pace controlled by the both individuals. Whether looking for love, romance or friendship, online dates can take as long or as little time as they need to get to know someone. No pressure or strings attached.
Many men on HotRussianBrides.com have already tried conventional ways of dating and are looking for something different. It would be ignorant to assume that just because someone doesn't want to resort to "conventional" ways of dating that they are wrong or desperate. On the contrary, online dating gives members freedom to be themselves and explore their tastes.

Rick Santorum has gotten a tremendous jolt after his wins in Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota earlier this week. His presidential campaign raised $1 million twice this week. And supporters are becoming increasingly confident that he is a viable candidate.
After he got whomped, Mitt Romney came out with his guns blazing, aiming not just at Santorum, but Newt Gingrich and Republicans as a whole. With some time to reflect, he and his supporters are toning that down. But others are calling for him to ramp up his messaging in other ways.
Given the opportunity on a conference call yesterday, two Oklahoma state officials talked up Romney but steered clear of criticism of Santorum. Romney is also focusing on himself, choosing to spend his time talking up his conservative stance.
Republicans have long had a problem swallowing Romney's claims of conservatism. And now, those in Congress, have told him to "step up" his message.
"Playing it safe, which Romney tends to do, is not going to get it for him," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).
A tweet from Weekly Standard reporter Fred Barnes went further: "He lacks a compelling conservative message. He'd better get one soon."
With Santorum, Romney, and Gingrich speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Romney has a chance to make his case. However, The Washington Post reports, support for Romney is low, even though many believe he will, inevitably, be the Republican presidential candidate because he has the bank account to do so.

Ever used a 'ch' or 'ex' unit in your CSS? Neither have I. Anyway, it's nice to know they exist.
This CSS ruler displays all the valid CSS length units available. When you hover over each unit it reveals a description of that unit. Here are some fun facts I learned while making this:
- Percentage is not an actual "length" unit according to MDN.
- EMs are actually just a shorthand for font-size, so if your font-size is 16px, 1em=16px, no matter what font you use.
- Pixels are generally calculated at 96 px = 1 inch, whereas points are 72 pt = 1 inch.

From Big Hair to Bean Bag Chair: Artist Interview with Isabel Tong
Hong Kong based illustrator talks with NONAGON.style
Peering from the doorway, dressed in colorful patterns, I met with Isabel Tong. A neon light flashes ISATISSE against a crinkled silver drape, and on display is a quirky collection featuring off-the-wall patterns on fabrics, canvases, and a range of home decor items.
Hong Kong illustrator and fashion designer Isabel Tong channels her alter-ego in the big-haired characters she draws. We met up to discuss illustration, tattoos and from where she draws inspiration.
Hong Kong is home for Tong, after a stint at school in Canada. Growing up she loved drawing from a young age. Encouraged by her mother, Tong attended painting lessons, drawing, and watercolor classes. She felt immersed in art, as her mother paints Chinese paintings and ink drawings.
However, pursuing a career in art wasn't Tong's initial path. She first took up her major in Economics. It was after subsequent years enrolling in fashion design workshops and illustration courses that she eventually switched towards something more creative, and founded the Isatisse brand four years ago.
Tong's first design-focused job was for a sportswear company. Her experience feeds into her focus for leisurewear fabrics and a laid-back style.
When you're designing an illustration are you already thinking about what the fabric will be for?
Yes. When I draw I have to think how it will look when it's printed on fabric. This is something I have to consider each and every time I do something in my collection. I also do some drawings for myself, something that's not just on fabric.
Aside from fashion, her home decor items include cushions, covers and a bean bag, as well as stickers and canvases for decorating around the home.
Isatisse: What's in a name?
The name Isatisse is a portmanteau of Isabel's first name and that of her favorite artist, Matisse. His lively paintings and colorful decoupage pieces have been huge influences over Tong's style.
Your characters in your illustrations have big colorful hair. Do any of them have a name?
Yes. They're actually reflecting me and my friends. The girl with big red hair is Abel. Because I'm Isabel and in Chinese people usually call me Ah-Bell or something like that. So it's just a short form of my name.
So Abel has red hair. There's also one with pink hair. Is she a different character?
No it's the same character. I'm twisting it to a different color tone, but actually they're the same person.
Would you say Abel's your alter ego?
Yeah actually she is my alter ego. I always like to have different hair colors, and I always wanted to have dreadlocks but I don't dare to do it in real life. So I just draw it in my illustrations. She will do weird things that I don't dare to do.
What else does she do that you don't dare to do?
Well she likes to eat a lot of things, and she likes to have a lot of tattoos on her skin. But I'm afraid of the pain that you have from doing a tattoo! So I've never got one.
Not even a tattoo of Abel?
I wish I could but I'm still thinking about it.
Who is your audience?
I don't think people in Hong Kong will like this sort of style because sometimes they'll think it's too quirky, or the designs are too crazy or too colorful. People in Hong Kong like black and white styles, those that are more quiet. Usually [the people that like my work] are more crazy, I think, they like more happy stuff or something that is more colorful. And some people that are more carefree. So if you talk about demographically, I think most people who like my things are from Korea.
I also asked Tong about the message of her art. She believes in live music in Hong Kong.
What does that mean, to believe in live music?
I love to go to bands and shows, especially shows held by indie bands. I get inspiration [from them]. I have some drawings about bands and the shows, because they are a lot of fun.
Her home is mostly in a Chinese style, designed by her mother, albeit with a messy room because it's where she works the most.
If I had my own home I'd like to have it like a Caribbean style. Or like the Japanese small home style, do you know what I'm talking about? And vintage furniture. Like the 50s and that kind of stuff.
Quiet and introverted, Isabel Tong channels her energy and wild side with Abel, the big haired ever-hungry character in her illustrations.
Tong took part in an illustration show this month, and looks ahead to her next trip to Seoul. Be sure to check out her Instagram to see her latest designs, illustrative adventures, and wacky collection of home decor items.

Alex happy with Friday's practice session progress at Buriram
The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team got off to an encouraging start on an exciting and close-fought Friday at Round 2 of the 2018 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship in Thailand that saw half a second separate the top ten. Alex Lowes showed good consistency, steadily improving in every session before ending the day in tenth overall, just 0.528s off the top.
Alex showed good pace straight out of the box in FP1, ending the session in sixth with a 1:34.437. The 27-year-old British rider then improved to a 1:34.144 in FP2 to finish in eighth overall just 0.293s behind the fastest rider.
Just like his teammate, Alex then managed to show good improvement again in FP3 to record a 1:33.855, which incredibly saw him end Friday in tenth position, despite only being 0.528s off the pace. The 2013 British Superbike Champion, therefore, joins his teammate in going directly through to SP2 and is confident there is more to come on Saturday.
The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team return to action on Saturday at 10:45 am with the 20-minute FP4 session, ahead of SP2 at 1:55 pm local time, with Race 1 scheduled to start 4pm.
Alex Lowes – 10th – 1:33.855
"It's been a good day! We are slowly chipping away each time we go out. I did a longer run and felt okay on the bike and still have a few areas that we know we can improve for tomorrow. Overall, it was a decent day really, we are probably in a better position than P10 looks and I am looking forward to racing!"

Re: Ticking time bombs - special report, July 22.
I, too, assumed mobile homes were too dangerous, especially in Florida. But after searching for months trying to find an affordable home, I realized the only home I could afford was a mobile home.
Reluctantly, I began inquiring and I sure am glad I did. I learned that today's mobile home (a.k.a. modular or manufactured home) is much stronger and better made than the early ones and meets all kinds of strict weather requirements. Plus, you have an instant house instead of waiting around for one to be built.
I also found out that Pinellas County has a large concentration of mobile homes because this is considered a safe zone. There has not been a hurricane here in over half a century!
My home is as big as a house and cost only $10,000. Some are even less. Mobile home parks also have pools you don't have to clean, yards you don't have to maintain, free water. Mine even has a fitness center, business/financial center, library, lake for fishing, clubhouses, shuffleboard, horseshoes, pot-lucks, parties, picnics, games, classes, field trips and a lot more. And park rent includes taxes!
Where else can you get a bargain like this? What a gift from God! I love it!

Re: Ruckus about barking ends plan for kennel - story, July 26.
No dogs barking from the kennel
I am so tired of people who have money thinking they can push around anyone they want. I live in the neighborhood near the Sheldegren kennel and I never hear the dogs barking. I also board my dogs at the kennel and even when I am there I hear very little barking.
These people who live in Signature Estates say they want quality of life and they don't want the kennel intruding on their life. Maybe they should have thought about that before buying a million-dollar house next to the kennel in the first place. This kennel was built 30 years before the development was.
What about the parties they have and their children screaming in the pool or playing outside? That ruins my quality of life. You don't see me running to the county or the police complaining about them, do you!
Get a life! Dogs are just like humans. They just use a different way of communicating.
Lisa Gabrelcik, Safety Harbor
Obituary change not a good move
Having lived in several major cities and having access to pretty decent newspapers (New York Times, Boston Globe, Chicago, Denver, USA Today), the St. Petersburg Times remains one of my most pleasurable reading experiences. Until recently.
This latest change to the obituaries is counter productive and difficult follow and read. I don't have a need to see all of St. Petersburg or Treasure Island's obits, when I only have friends and family in North Pinellas.
Please go back to categorizing by county/city. Much easier.
The small print on the comics has already been beaten to death, but it was another ill-thought-out idea. I don't even try to read the comics any longer.
A letter writer put it best: If it ain't broke, why fix it? We had the best national local paper I have had the privilege to read. Please reconsider!

Success Story
Daisy Lost 36 lbs. with Hydroxycut*
Name: Daisy Cancel
Hometown: Bergen County, NJ
Before weight: 147 lbs.
After weight: 111 lbs.
Marital status: Single
Favorite healthy food: Yogurt with almonds, banana, cinnamon, oats, almond milk and protein powder
Favorite cheat food: Dark chocolate
Favorite gym or cardio exercise: Indoor and outdoor cycling
Favorite time to work out: After a good night's sleep
*Daisy used the key ingredient in Hydroxycut® (C. canephora robusta) with diet and exercise, and was remunerated. People using the key ingredient in a 60-day study lost an average of 10.95 lbs. with a low-calorie diet, and 3.7 lbs. in a separate 8-week study with a calorie-reduced diet and moderate exercise. View full study here.
My Transformation Story
I've always had a natural curiosity and willingness to learn new ways to change my lifestyle for success. Even with my cheat meals, I try to make sure it's nutritious. I exercise daily, even when I'm not in the mood, because I understand the benefits.
With the help of Hydroxycut, I got a great added edge in my weight loss journey. Hydroxycut® was just what I needed for energy and increasing my metabolism. I love all the products, but the gummies are my favorite.
The most difficult part along the way was staying disciplined with my meals and workouts. There were days when I just wanted to indulge in junk food and skip my workouts. But my friends, family and Coach Sarah helped me stay on track, as did looking at my vision board.
Sometimes this whole experience feels surreal. I learned so much about myself. I used to eat because of stress and boredom. Now I know you don't need to act on your cravings.

Emerald was awesome. It offered us cultural experience that was unusual and authentic. We felt like we got to know the countries we visited. We are looking to book with Emerald again in Europe. Local and tour Director was the best
first emerald waterway tour was excellent ! excellent and unique excursions included plus good optional tours offered loved the Vespa ride, ox cart and rickshaw ride Hoi Ann and Halong bay are highlights emerald staff very welcoming to us
The staff and crew of the ship was fantastic. Christmas Markets are not to be missed.
Although this is my first river cruise, so I cannot compare with other companies, I was very happy with Emerald with a few exceptions. They advertise that it is all inclusive and do offer several free tour options at each port, but that also sell Discovery options that are more money. We did 4 of those which increased the cost for 2 by $600. If you like to workout, forget the gym, which had one rowing machine, an exercise bike and some dumbbells with enough room for 3 people at most. The staff were all great, the food was very good and the itinerary was excellent. They have a small swimming pool and late night activities. Good diversity with most people from US, Canada, Australia and new Zealand.
Was great, food was good, cabin small but nice, excursions were good.
This trip was wonderful, with only 160 passengers we were treated royally. Everyone on board the ship worked with only one thing in mind to please the customers.
Derek was very thorough and easy to work with. Our trip was what we expected.
We were fortunate the trip went as planned. A lock was damaged and the ship we were scheduled for was unavailable. Emerald provided a different ship and we completed our full itinerary. Great job Emerald. The trip wonderful. Great staff, tours and food. Our Affordable agent Allyson fulfilled all our needs efficiently providing excellent customer care.
Great river cruise, the operator Emerald Waterways did not disappoint. On board service was exceptional and the tours were very good. Only thought would be that having a little more free time during site visits would have made the excursions good to great.
Our third river cruise but found the baths on this particular ship to be very small. The crew, though, was excellent, especially the director!
This trip was all we expected and more. The booking and planning by Affordable Tours weas very helpful. The Emerald Radiance was a joy. The ship and crew were unbelievable. The Douro Valley is so very beautiful and Portugal an amazing destination-just need to explore it further.
Emerald provided a very memorable experience. Everything went according to plan. There were many activity options to pick from. The food and drink and staff were excellent. I liked the pool and bikes which gave us additional activities to enjoy, which Viking Cruises did not offer when I went on a previous river boat cruise with them 3 years ago.
I absolutely loved the cities and towns we visited. I met mant new friends on this trip. The staff were very friendly, professional and attentive to my needs.

The Mask of Gorgon
Written by Romeo Muller
PUMYRA and BEN-GALI are aboard the ThunderStrike when suddenly, LYNX-O takes control of the ship. Aboard the ThunderClaw, PANTHRO and LION-O pursue the ThunderStrike and catching up to it, LION-O boards, takes control, and returns it safely to the ground. PUMYRA and BEN-GALI inform LION-O that the previous night, LYNX-O received information through his Braille Board which may be causing him to act so strangely: MA-MUTT uncovered the Book of Norvog-Noszh, the only existing history of Third Earth, and delivered it to MUMM-RA. The book depicts an historic tale of the Mask of Gorgon and the Hills of Elfshima. MUMM-RA calls upon TUG-MUG and CHILLA to steal the Mask of Gorgon form the WARRIOR MAIDENS' Treetop Kingdom, where it is embedded and guarded in a tree's bark. Upon stealing the Mask, they mistakenly look into its eyes—they are turned to stone. WILLA informs the ThunderCats of the Mask's theft stressing that it must be returned to its tree back home and must not be allowed to face the Hills of Elfshima. Inviting LION-O to recapture the Mask from his pyramid, MUMM-RA tricks LION-O, PANTHRO and WILLA by transforming into NAYDA. The Mask turns the three of them to stone and MUMM-RA steals the Sword of Omens. As the Mask looks through the Sword's eyepieces towards the Hills of Elfshima, the historic tale comes to fruition—the range of hills is brought to life in the form of a reclining giant—THE CHILDE OF GORGON. Flying in the ThunderStruke, BEN-GALI and LYNX-O maneuver the ship through the giant's ear canal and blast the inner ear with laser canons. Losing its equilibrium, the giant's fall causes the Mask to crash to the ground and shatter. Order is restored to Third Earth.
Mumm-Ra seeks the Mask of Gorgon whose secrets he learns from the Book of Norvog Noszh. It has the power to turn flesh into stone and he seeks to use it for evil purposes. Lynx-O, who has called into a spell caused by the intimations of the catastrophes made possible by the powers of the Mask, tries to warn Lion-O and cautions him against impetuosity. Lion-O does not listen, acting in a fit of anger and overconfident of his abilities, and is turned to stone. With the captured Sword of Omens, the Mask has the power to turn stone to flesh, and Mumm-Ra bids it awaken the sleeping giant of the Hills of Elfshima, the Childe of Gorgon. But Lynx-O, calling on his ancient wisdom, attacks the monster in its vulnerable part, its inner ear. It falls, creates an earthquake which shakes Mumm-Ra's pyramid, breaks the Mask, and vanquishes its magic. The Childe of Gorgon becomes a range of Hills once more and all that was turned to stone by the Mask's powers becomes flesh again.
When acting in a fit of anger, Lion-O endangered himself and all of Third Earth. He did not heed Lynx-O's warnings or bother learning all he could about what he was about to encounter, and consider if his anger could be channeled constructively. We, too, when angry, by not taking time to cool down and consider the consequences of active in a fit of temper, often make matters worse when we act. Uncontrolled anger is not effective in accomplishing a goal. Only when we channel our anger constructively is it effective. In playing a game, if we become angry and lose control we risk playing poorly being thrown out of the game. But if we play with extra effort we are more effective players. When disputes occur among friends, often the best way of expressing anger and resolving the conflict is putting feelings into words. As Panthro says, there's nothing heroic about losing your temper.
There were fourteen ThunderCats writers who each only penned a single episode, but none of them possessed the vast and venerable experience of Romeo Muller, writer of the standout "The Mask of Gorgon". A Rankin/Bass veteran and team member since the 1960s, Muller is perhaps best known as the screenwriter of the studio's holiday specials: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and so many others. The cheery, sentimental nature of these stories is at odds with the high-stakes villains-versus-heroes adventures of ThunderCats, and it's this dissonance that others from the ThunderCats production crew—Lee Danacher and Peter Lawrence—attribute to Muller's departure after only one Third Earth foray.[1] But it's not so simple as that.
More impressive among Muller's writing credits than Christmastime stop-motion are a host of fantasy epics. He wrote the screenplays for the Rankin/Bass versions of The Hobbit, The Return of the King, The Wind in the Willows and Return to Oz, admirable adaptations all; and his original script[2] for The Flight of Dragons shows deep reverence for and understanding of the fantasy genre. This is a man who knew what he was doing, and so characterizing him as too gentle to take on sword-and-sorcery adventures seems inaccurate. What seems more likely is that the 22-minute form was just not in his milieu, and the accelerated pacing required to tell an effective high-stakes adventure left less room for cheerful moralizing and fell outside his comfort zone.
You'd never know it. The Mask of Gorgon is a sweeping fantasy adventure, featuring some of the most impressive pacing and suspense of any episode in the series, and woven deftly with a decent moral. It begins in medias res with the ThunderStrike hurtling out of control on its Cats' Lair approach for what Snarf suggests is the second time. BenGali and Pumyra do manage to escape the ThunderStrike, and the other Cats rush down to meet them in the Lair courtyard. The sense of urgency is very real: BenGali and Pumyra jump the closing gap of the Lair drawbridge, and they interrupt each other as they explain Lynx-O's crazed state. Demonstrating impressive leadership and clear-headedness, Lion-O quickly formulates a plan, and they're off to bring Lynx-O back to solid ground.
This could be considered a sign of growth on Lion-O's part—the rescue mission is effective, after all. But it's also extremely risky and ill-considered, and Muller is smart enough to use Lion-O's confidence and quick decision-making as the basis for a lesson in over-confidence and impetuosity. After a quieted Lynx-O has conveyed bits of what he learned about the eponymous Mask and the Book of Norvog Noszh, Lion-O uses Sight Beyond Sight to learn more and is goaded by Mumm-Ra[3] into a confrontation at the Pyramid. Lynx-O issues another, more specific warning: that the Mask's terrible power will be somehow amplified by the Eye of Thundera. But Lion-O ignores these worrisome and perfectly cogent words of caution. Angered out of foolish pride and encouraged by a characteristically action-oriented Panthro,[4] Lion-O plays directly into Mumm-Ra's trap.
We also join Mumm-Ra in medias res. Already in his ever-living form,[5] he skims the giant pages of the Norvog Noszh, summing up the book's off-camera unearthing in one mammoth sentence. What could have been dull exposition (but for Earle Hammond's spectacular delivery) is over quickly—with a shout of "Enough!", Mumm-Ra gets down to business. He summons Tug-Mug and Chilla, and they instantly bust through a nearby wall! Chilla even pokes fun at the speed with which things are moving along: "Why this urgency, Mumm-Ra?" Because we only have 22 minutes, Chilla!
This sequence in the Pyramid, along with several others, features some standout bits of art direction and animation. As Mumm-Ra demands that the Lunataks bring him the Mask, his billowing cape obscures a camera movement: we start on a head-on medium shot and end on a gorgeous medium closeup in profile. Later, after the Mask has turned the ThunderCats to stone, Mumm-Ra grabs the Sword of Omens by the blade and jiggles it out of Lion-O's grasp—a shot that's both well-drawn and revealing of Mumm-Ra's undeniable badassery. The shots of Evil Beyond Evil are especially fantastic: the Mask's eyes peering through the Sword's crossbars, Mumm-Ra holding the Sword aloft, the fiery blasts changing color and rocketing toward Elfshima.
Then there are the little touches: the mind's-eye reflection of the Norvog Noszh in Lion-O's literal eye; Lion-O's hair whipping in the wind, and his mouth moving ever so slightly behind the Sword of Omens, as he tries to get Lynx-O to open the ThunderStrike cockpit; a momentary reflection of Pumyra's face in the Sword's blade; a beautiful nighttime background of the Tower of Omens with the lights on upstairs; the creepy worming of the Mask's prehensile hair; the evil spirits of the Norvog Noszh exiting the Pyramid in a spiraling plume; Mumm-Ra with hair; a momentary transition with a hidden Cat symbol; and the final view of the Pyramid's interior, framed by the maw of the sarcophagus chamber and lit by licking flames.
But "The Mask of Gorgon"'s animation is hardly its highlight.[6] Rather, the star here is Muller, whose script spins mythological tropes (the Greek myth of Medusa, Lovecraftian madness, grimoires, pure-hearted woodland guardians) into a wholly new story and maintains an air of mystery by withholding just enough information to make the final reveal immensely satisfying. Not even the Warrior Maidens who guard the Mask know its history, nor why it must face westward. But as Mumm-Ra's plan falls into place, the tension builds to the big reveal. He opens a dedicated passageway in the Pyramid that looks out toward Elfshima. He drops a hint that the hills might be more than just hills, and then we flash to Lynx-O to reveal the rest. Not a range of hills, but a petrified giant. Not a little child, but a gigantic Childe. Not a silly name, but an anagram. It's the perfect climax, full of the same urgency as earlier, but with the high stakes suddenly clarified.
The role the Sword of Omens plays in Mumm-Ra's plan does raise questions. The Sword cannot be used for evil deeds, and yet the Eye's powers of Sight Beyond Sight are somehow connected to the Mask of Gorgon. Rather than a contradiction, I find that this adds a sense of historicity to the world of the show: the Norvog Noszh, an ancient book, makes reference to a relationship between the Eye and the Mask, and the Sword has no power to resist. That's fascinating! This ancient relationship is reinforced when you consider that the Eye issued no warnings during the whole of the episode, and even lost its vision of the Norvog Noszh when Lion-O did call upon Sight Beyond Sight. The result is a story that cannot depend on the Sword of Omens to save the day—a rare and laudable occurrence—and, more tremendous, in which the Eye of Thundera cannot be trusted. Thank you, Romeo Muller, for being the only ThunderCats writer creative enough to eschew the Crutch of Omens and devote the Eye to a unexpectedly twisted purpose.
1 ^ Chrichton, David. Hear the Roar. Denbighshire: Telos Publishing, 2011. 320.
2 ^ The Flight of Dragons is technically an adaptation, since it's based loosely on both Peter Dickinson's faux natural history of dragons and Gordon R. Dickson's Dragon Knight series. But the world of the story—the four wizard brothers and their specialized natures, the conflict between magic and science—that's all Muller.
3 ^ This is the sole example of someone speaking to Lion-O directly via Sight Beyond Sight, and it implies that, at least to Mumm-Ra, the extra-dimensional gaze of the Eye of Thundera is palpable.
4 ^ Panthro is also culpable during the episode's most suspenseful moment. When Willa catches Mumm-Ra in his Nayda disguise, but doesn't know enough about Mumm-Ra's penchant for disguises to fully recognize the trap, Panthro blatantly disregards her! Footnote sidenote: Not since Grygory Grygian has Mumm-Ra assumed a disguise without our knowledge. The effect of its subtle reveal here to us (and no one else) is perfectly disturbing.
5 ^ Unusual, though not without precedent: "Mumm-Rana", "Ravage Island"
6 ^ There are, in fact, some big animation mistakes. The Norvog Noszh is constantly appearing and disappearing from one scene to the next, the ThunderTank drives westward when Elfshima (and the Pyramid by extension) lies to the east, and Willa and Nayda swap voices in the coda.
Written by Zack (thezaxfactor)
|The ThunderStrike pods are capable of controlling the entire vehicle, but the central controls in the main cockpit can override them.
|Panthro notes that Lynx-O is "a grand old warrior who has fought every form of evil," indicating that his youth on Thundera was not entirely peaceful, and perhaps that he was even a known figure.
|Like Hachiman in "Hachiman's Honor" and Snowman in "The Mad Bubbler", The Warrior Maidens don't recognize the Lunataks, even though Chilla professes a familiarity with "that pack of muscle-bound brunhildes."
|The Mask appears to be sentient, laughing along with Mumm-Ra at one point (and making a charming metallic rattling sound). This begs the question, who was Gorgon, and how did her Mask take on a life of its own?
|Shots and sequences from this episode—Mumm-Ra's "Bring it to me now!" cape shot, Bengali recounting Lynx-O's "babbling", and two shots of Evil Beyond Evil—were featured in numerous Cartoon Network promos in the early 2000s.

When in Doubt Wear Red – especially the Red Anarkalis
Red is one color that is very close to a woman's heart, for many different reasons, the most important one being that they imagine themselves in a red dress on their wedding day, be it a sari or a lehenga. This color is also closely associated with the day that is set aside to celebrate love universally, Valentine's day. Christmas and red also go hand in hand. There are several more examples that I can cite to signify the symbolism and importance of this glorious color, but I think that the three days mentioned above say it all, about how this color influences all our lives in many different ways.
But today, we are going to talk about Red Anarkalis in particular. The simple, yet elegant way they flatter a woman's form and transforms her whole appearance is simply breath taking and magical. Red is one color that truly highlights and brings out a woman's inner beauty. She radiates and basks in the glow of wearing a garment in such a lovely color. And being that red is the preferred color for every Indian girl at least for the most important day of her life – her wedding, this is one color that definitely deserves all the praise and attention it gets from fashionistas all over the world.
Over the years, there have been many people, from fashion moguls to critics, who have suggested that red is an overrated color, but you only have to see a few examples of celebrities carrying off this color perfectly to know that its not true. Right from Madhuri Dixit and Sonam Kapoor to Genelia D'souza and Nargis Fakhri, there is not a single celebrity who has not donned an exquisite red anarkali creation at some point of their professional career. The collage below speaks for itself.
Red goes with all skin tones and body types and there's no reason in the world why any woman should not embrace this color and cherish it, the way it should be. Add to that the perfect anarkali with a flair and fit that hugs your body in all the right places and you're definitely good to go for any party or wedding that you're required to attend. Cause after all, the is practically the next party frock, so this is one trend you definitely do not want to miss out on!
Enjoy theanarkalis, the RED way!!

This video speaks for itself in that McDonald's chicken mcnuggets seem to contain some strange ingredients and substances that currently have no explanation. Health Ranger Mike Adams purchased a 10-piece chicken mcnugget meal from a McDonald's restaurant and decided to examine them under carefully controlled conditions using a high-powered digital microscope. What he found was quite interesting as you will note in the video below.
Through his investigations, not only did he find weird fiber like objects, but there were a number of odd colors including a blue egg shaped object that resembled an antifreeze like glob.
What are these strange ingredients? We do not know. We also do not know if they are safe or unsafe to consume as not much is known about them. However, these mysterious ingredients are another great reason why we should avoid processed foods and stick with fresh, clean foods.
Share this with friends and family who might still be eating McDonald's food.

How Does Cholesterol Contribute To A Heart Attack?
Dr. Steven Nissen answers the question: 'Cholesterol And Heart Attacks?'
-- Question: How does cholesterol contribute to a heart attack?
Answer: Well, cholesterol is really one of the main risk factors for having a heart attack. And we believe that the mechanism, which is pretty well understood, involves LDL, so called bad cholesterol gets into the vessel wall. And when it gets into the wall of the vessel, it builds up these plaques in the wall. And eventually, after enough plaque has formed in the coronary arteries, one of them actually ruptures. And when the plaque ruptures, a blood clot occurs, and that blood clot shuts down blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. And that's what a heart attack is.
Now, it's important also to understand, however, that there is another form of cholesterol -- HDL, known as good cholesterol -- which actually is pulling the cholesterol out of the vessel wall. And so there's a constant tug-of-war that goes on in everybody's vessel wall -- with the bad cholesterol trying to get in where it's going to cause trouble, and the good cholesterol trying to pull it out where it's going to protect the patient. And that's why we try to raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol to prevent heart attack.

Paul McGann and the Pandorica!
Back in 2011, Sylvester McCoy, the Seventh Doctor, was a guest at DragonCon where during his panel he read the very popular "Hello Stonehenge" speech from the Matt Smith episode "The Pandorica Opens." On September 21, 2014 at the Cincinnati Comic Expo, The Pandora Society thought that it would be fun to challenge Paul McGann to make the famous speech in which the Doctor takes on almost every single enemy he's ever faced with his powerful skills as an orator.
This is what happened . . . .
Here is the original speech as made by Matt Smith in "The Pandorica Opens."

A Note from the Chairman…
EACT Regulatory Update - January 2016 by Jean-Marc Servat, Chairman, The European Association of Corporate Treasurers (EACT)
It is now seven years since the wave of regulations that followed the financial crisis. The European Commission has launched a call for evidence on the impact of financial regulation. The EACT is gathering evidence to respond, but we would like to make general comments and suggestions for future regulation.
1. Assessment on the impact on non-financial end-users
Going forward there should be an obligation to conduct a thorough analysis on the impact of financial regulation on non-financial companies. Adequate budget should be allocated for such an analysis.
Our fundamental concern is that non-financial companies should not be assumed by default to be the same as financial companies when financial regulation is being developed.
The financial reform of the last years has not always been accompanied by proper assessments on the impact on non-financial end-users and how those impacts could be mitigated. For instance in the impact assessment of CRD IV / CRR there is only a very brief reference on the impact on the real economy, which is mostly a discussion of the impact on lending, in particular to SMEs. Yet it is now clear that the accumulated prudential requirements laid down in CRD IV are changing banking business models and operations, which in turn changes the way in which banks are willing and able to interact with their corporate customers.
Our fundamental concern is that non-financial companies should not be assumed by default to be the same as financial companies when financial regulation is being developed. Imposing financial sector obligations on non-financial companies is neither meaningful nor appropriate.
2. Clarity and consistency of policy objectives
There is a need to clearly define the policy objectives and to consistently apply them throughout legislative texts. There are inconsistencies and tensions either between the policy objectives of the current Commission and some of the regulatory measures taken in the pact years, or between different legislative texts. From our perspective the most important inconsistencies are the following.
The Capital Markets Union has the objectives to create jobs, growth and finance the real economy – however many legislative instruments limit (or are expected to limit) companies' ability to raise funds. CRD IV, MiFID II and the planned bank structural reform all limit financial institutions' ability to act as market makers, yet effective market making is part of well-functioning capital markets. The impact of these rules is already visible as certain financial institutions are withdrawing from such activities.
Regarding corporates' risk management, the importance of hedging by non-financial companies has been recognised by the legislator. However, there is continuous pressure on OTC derivatives, and several legislative texts/proposals would adversely impact non-financial companies' ability to hedge: EBA's planned rules for the treatment of CVA, MiFID/MiFIR II, bank structural reform and FTT. Non-financial companies need access to these risk-mitigating instruments and such a permanent regulatory pressure is detrimental for European companies.
3. European System of Financial Supervision
European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) regulate on issues that impact actors in both the financial and non-financial sectors. Therefore we would expect these authorities to have an understanding of both and to consider impacts on all stakeholders. The ESFS should be reviewed and necessary amendments should be made in order to ensure that.
- There are safeguards and controls in place on the work of the ESAs to ensure that they will not go beyond their mandate and will carefully assess the impact of any proposed measure on all actors, including the non-financials. This has also been pointed out by the European Parliament in its report on 'Stocktaking and challenges of the EU Financial Services Regulation': this reminds the ESAs that technical standards, guidelines and recommendations are bound by the principle of proportionality; calls on the ESAs to adopt a restrictive approach to the extent and number of guidelines, particularly where they are not explicitly empowered in the basic act; notes that such a restrictive approach is also required in view of the ESAs' resources and the need to prioritise their tasks.
- All relevant stakeholders should be represented in working groups and the ESAs should thoroughly analyse the impact of their measures on financial services end-users.
4. International convergence
Many non-financial companies operate internationally and therefore suffer from a lack of international co-operation and convergence in the area of financial regulation, as the G20 commitments have translated into different legal frameworks. Multinational companies are faced with very different compliance obligations, for instance concerning the use of OTC derivatives in different jurisdictions, which significantly increases the resources needed to ensure compliance, which is both inefficient and costly.
Two aspects require improvement: firstly, the Commission should review whether the current approach of unilateral equivalence decisions is adequate to achieve an outcome of international consistency and convergence. Secondly, only recognising that both the legal regimes achieve equivalent outcomes is not sufficient from companies' perspective, as they will still have to comply with different rules and processes. Therefore the authorities should also seek to move towards more harmonisation of the detailed rules in place.

Basically, extended warranty comes up after normal warranty is over. Extended warranty will have period of certain years and/or number of kilometers. If you surpass the kilometers within the actual time-frame of the Extended warranty, your bike will be out of Warranty. Call up customer care and ask what is the time-frame and until what kilometers the Extended warranty covers for your bike. Tell them your situation and get an explanation. With that, you will have more clarity on what step to take next

Hi Everyone ,
I own a gixxer sf 2017 model , which has not been ridden too much as I am still in my 17k kms .
I faced a lot of issues with it .
The major thing which I am facing now is , the punch/push whatever you say , I get while riding above 80kmph .
These punches are really disturbing and I am not able to figure out the actual problem .
Since then I have had 3 bike services , but till now this has not gone .
Also , I have left taking my bike to more than 60-70 kmph now .
I am kind of fed up with this bike now , as I am never getting an economical mileage .(Always between 30 -35kmpl)
Also , the throttle response now has become too much bad as after giving the throttle also I am not getting enough power from the bike .
Please , suggest me what to do .
I stay in bangalore , and please if some one knows a good mechanic from Bangalore please suggest me .
Extended Warranty gives you 3 years of additional 3rd party warranty (its not actually provided by Suzuki but by a 3rd party that is partnered with Suzuki)
In order to maintain validity of Standard Warranty you need to get your bike serviced at an Authorized SVC which includes 4 free + 4 paid + 1 bonus = 9 services total.
In order to maintain validity of Extended Warranty you need to get your bike serviced at an Authorized SVC which includes 12 paid services (distributed as 4 services per year or 3000kms apart or 3months apart)
Out of the 12 services required by the Extended Warranty, if you missed a single service or got service done at a Non-Authorized SVC, you warranty is Null and Void.

Property Management Newsletter - January 2018
Don't Let Your Investment Property Take a Walk on the Wild Side!
When it comes to gardens and rental properties, the best advice we can give is to keep it simple. While many tenants are happy to keep and maintain immaculate gardens, many more will view extensive gardening as a burden and may even be hesitant to rent a home that is otherwise perfect for them.
The biggest problems arise when the family home is rented out and a cherished garden is left in the care of people who have no emotional connection to it.
Although it is a tenant's responsibility (unless otherwise stipulated in the lease) to maintain gardens and grounds, a tenant may not carry out watering, weeding and edging as thoroughly as you would yourself and many may not have the tools or products required for some jobs. Also remember it is the responsibility of the landlord to maintain gutters and trim trees.
If your investment property has complicated garden beds or extensive hedging that you do not want to scale back or remove, it could be a good idea to arrange for a contractor to visit the property a couple of times a year to attend to large garden maintenance jobs. We are happy to arrange this for you.
If you are planning a garden for your investment property, we would highly recommend selecting low-maintenance plants that will not encroach on foundations, plumbing, power lines or fences—make sure you plan ahead as some plants can take over gardens very quickly! Hardy species such as succulents and drought-resistant plants are also a safe bet for rental properties as they will survive a bit of neglect.
Another thing to consider is pests—when was your property last inspected for termites?Termites can do destructive damage in a very short period of time.
A termite and pest inspection is most important when it comes to maintaining your investment property. We recommend that you have your property inspected at least once every year.
Please advise us when your property was last treated so that we can update our records and send you a reminder when your property is due for another inspection.
If you haven't had your property inspected during the last 12 months, we strongly recommend contacting our office to arrange inspection.
Do you have another investment property, or do you know someone who requires a professional property management service?
Our Property Management Department takes pride in offering a skilled and professional service. And we have plenty of quality tenants requiring a place to call home!
Our focus is to maximise your income and optimise capital growth, all whilst providing you with friendly, personalised and experienced service.
