- "The adventure begins"
- ―Tagline
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is an action-adventure game released by LucasArts in 1999, coinciding with the release of the movie.
Visually, the gameplay is similar to third-person "over the head" view games, but actions such as jumping, climbing, or pushing objects are very limited, relying mostly on interaction and dialogue options. The player controls Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Queen Amidala, or Captain Panaka in different levels. The game also offers a variety of weapons and slightly different expansion of the same movie storyline and is rather similar to the 2005 Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith video game.
Opening crawlEdit
The game has two opening crawls. The first is identical to that of the movie:
The second crawl appears after the Coruscant level, following Senator Palpatine's proposal to call for a vote of no confidence in Supreme Chancellor Valorum:
Although the plot closely follows the movie, it either expands on some minor events that could have been cut from the movie, or shows them from a different character's point of view. For example, it follows Amidala's "adventures" on Coruscant during Anakin Skywalker's interview in the Jedi Temple—something that is not shown in the movie.
There are also some apparent inconsistencies or contradictions to the storyline in order to generate a new narrative. These include Jar Jar Binks being imprisoned on his return to Otoh Gunga and the player having to rescue him to continue the story.
Trade Federation ShipEdit
Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi board the Trade Federation's flagship. While they are waiting to meet Viceroy Nute Gunray, the room starts filling with poison gas. The two Jedi fight their way out, destroying battle droids along the way. At one point, Obi-Wan gets separated from Qui-Gon on the way to the hangar. As the Trade Federation have destroyed the Jedi's ambassadorial ship, Obi-Wan sneaks on board one of the landing craft bound for Naboo.
Swamps of NabooEdit
After landing on Naboo, Obi-Wan navigates his way through the swamps and encounters Jar Jar Binks, who leads him to Qui-Gon. He fights some battle droids and hostile creatures along the way. After reuniting with Qui-Gon, Jar Jar tells them about Otoh Gunga and reluctantly brings them there to take shelter from the Trade Federation.
Otoh GungaEdit
In Otoh Gunga, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan realize that Jar Jar has been banished for his clumsiness, and has been forbidden from returning—on pain of death. Jar Jar gets arrested and thrown into prison to await execution. Boss Nass and the Gungan High Council agree to provide the Jedi a bongo for their journey to Theed through the planet's underwater core. While Qui-Gon tries to convince the Council to spare Jar Jar, Obi-Wan goes to rescue Jar Jar. He uses a Force mind trick to make the prison guards release Jar Jar, and then they make their way to the bongo bay to meet Qui-Gon and leave together. They navigate the bongo through the core and narrowly escape from attacks by an opee sea killer and a sando aqua monster.
Gardens of TheedEdit
Upon arriving outside Theed, the three of them are about to cross a bridge leading directly to the city gates when a Trade Federation AAT blocks their way and destroys the bridge. Obi-Wan is separated from Qui-Gon and Jar Jar, and has to take a longer route through the Theed Royal Gardens to enter the city. Along the way, he encounters Royal Naboo Security Forces and joins them in fighting the battle droids. Upon reaching his destination, he destroys the AAT and uses Force push to activate the lever that unlocks the gates.
Escape from TheedEdit
Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar manage to meet up with Queen Amidala, who tells them her plan to escape from Naboo and go to Coruscant to persuade the Galactic Senate to help them. On the way to the hangar, an explosion causes Obi-Wan and the Queen to be separated from Qui-Gon and the rest. Obi-Wan has to escort the Queen safely to the hangar on his own. Along the way, he destroys several battle droids and helps some Naboo soldiers and civilians. They reunite with everyone in the hangar, where they board a Royal Naboo Starship.
Mos EspaEdit
While breaking through the Trade Federation's blockade, the starship comes under heavy fire, and its T-14 hyperdrive generator sustains severe damage. They decide to land on Tatooine to make repairs. Qui-Gon, Amidala, and Jar Jar go to Mos Espa to find replacement parts. Qui-Gon defeats some Tusken Raiders who ambush them along the way.
In Mos Espa, they learn from the locals that Watto, a junk dealer, might have the parts they need. With help from Anakin Skywalker, Watto's boy slave, Qui-Gon meets Watto and agrees to bet with him for the hyperdrive generator in the Boonta Eve Podrace, which will be held on the following day.
Qui-Gon helps Anakin find a mass coupler and a servo control system to fix his podracer. Concurrently, he completes some side quests: finding Jar Jar (who has gone missing) in a bathhouse, fighting some street thugs, saving Vek Drow from robbers, and rescuing Tomo from Captain Neg's hideout.
Mos Espa ArenaEditIn the Mos Espa Grand Arena, before the podrace starts, Ann Gella lures Qui-Gon into a trap set by Jabba the Hutt, who forces the Jedi to fight his champion. Qui-Gon slays the creature and gets 50 peggats to use in his bet with Watto. Qui-Gon and Watto strike a deal: If Anakin wins the podrace, Watto will free Anakin and give Qui-Gon the T-14 hyperdrive generator; if Anakin loses, Watto gets the Royal Naboo Starship; either way, Watto gets the 50 peggats.
Qui-Gon encounters Jym Lang, a bounty hunter hired by Jabba to assassinate the podracer Teemto, and uses a Force mind trick to stop him from killing Teemto. Just before the race starts, a thief steals an ignition capacitor from Anakin's podracer and flees. Qui-Gon tracks down the thief, defeats a scavenger, and helps Anakin retrieve the ignition capacitor. Anakin wins the podrace and earns his freedom.
Encounter in the DesertEdit
The locals, including Anakin's mother Shmi Skywalker, come to see Qui-Gon, Anakin, and their companions off. While heading back to the Naboo Royal Starship, Qui-Gon destroys three probe droids. Shortly after, he is attacked by Darth Maul, who uses the Force to trigger a rockslide to block his way. After fending off Maul's attacks, Qui-Gon finds a path through the rocks and moves on. When Qui-Gon is approaching the starship, Maul shows up again and tries to destroy the hyperdrive generator. Qui-Gon manages to hold off Maul long enough before boarding the starship just as it takes off, leaving Maul behind.
On Coruscant, after Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Anakin leave for the Jedi Temple, Queen Amidala and Captain Panaka follow their armed escorts to the Senate Chambers to meet Senator Palpatine. However, mercenaries and a hover cannon kill their escorts and destroy their air taxi, forcing them to find their own way to the Senate Chambers. After Panaka trades his electrobinoculars for a pair of Coruscant City Tours tickets, Panaka and Amidala try to take the tour transport to the Senate Chambers but the transport leaves without them when a hover cannon fires at it. After destroying the hover cannon, Panaka leaves the Queen alone for a while and goes to activate some controls. The mercenaries use the opportunity to kidnap the Queen and bring her into the Restricted Area. Panaka fights the mercenaries and finds his way into the Restricted Area, where he rescues the Queen and defeats a Sun Guard who tries to stop him. They successfully reach the Senate Chambers and speak to Senator Palpatine.
Assault on TheedEdit
Disappointed by the politicking and corruption in the Galactic Senate, Queen Amidala decides to take matters into her own hands by returning to Naboo to fight the Trade Federation and free her people. She is accompanied by her followers, the two Jedi, Anakin, and Jar Jar. While Jar Jar joins his fellow Gungans in creating a diversion to distract the Trade Federation Droid Army, the Queen and everyone else infiltrate Theed to capture Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and force him to end the occupation of Naboo.
In the hangar, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan encounter Darth Maul and duel him while the others move on. As the duel takes them deep into the Theed Generator Complex, Obi-Wan is separated from Qui-Gon and Maul after falling off a ramp.
In the meantime, Amidala and Panaka fight their way through the streets of Theed, destroying battle droids and getting all the help they can get from Naboo soldiers and civilians alike. After destroying a large force-field generator blocking their way, they arrive outside the Theed Royal Palace and break in through a side window.
The Final BattleEdit
Inside the Royal Palace, Amidala and Panaka have to find three security pass keys that will grant them access to the Throne Room, where Nute Gunray is. Along the way, they clear out the battle droids and free Naboo soldiers captured by the Trade Federation. They manage to corner Gunray inside the Throne Room and take him prisoner, thereby ending the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo.
Meanwhile, Obi-Wan navigates his way through the Theed Generator Complex while observing Qui-Gon and Maul from a distance. He destroys battle droids along the way and uses the Force to jump from platform to platform in an attempt to catch up with his master. By the time he reaches the generator core, he sees Qui-Gon being struck down by Maul. After passing through the laser gates, Obi-Wan duels Maul and eventually defeats him.
With his dying breath, Qui-Gon makes Obi-Wan promise to train Anakin, whom he believes is the Chosen One. Before the credits start rolling, the people of Naboo celebrate their liberation with a victory parade in the streets while the Jedi look on.

Alternative optionsEdit
- "Try me!"
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, before killing a room of Gungan guards
In almost every level, the player can commit "dark side" or "evil" actions without any negative consequences or repercussions such as having to restart the level or gaining dark side points. The options are:
- Obi-Wan can destroy TC-14, along with other harmless droids and unarmed personnel, on the Trade Federation Ship.
- Obi-Wan can kill all the Gungans in Otoh Gunga except Jar Jar, Boss Nass, and the Gungan High Council.
- Obi-Wan can kill Naboo soldiers and civilian men, women, and children in Theed.
- Qui-Gon can kill almost everyone in Mos Espa (including Sebulba and Shmi Skywalker) but not Anakin, Watto, Jar Jar, or Padmé.
- Qui-Gon can briefly flirt with Ann Gella and Tann Gella in Mos Espa.
- Qui-Gon can kill almost everyone in Jabba's court except for Jabba himself. If he keeps using Force push on Jabba, he can destroy the interpreter droid without killing Jabba.
- Captain Panaka can shoot anyone (except Queen Amidala) and anything he wishes on Coruscant, taking their items instead of trading for them. He can also kill the protocol droid at the entrance to the Coruscant City Tours to avoid having to pay credits.
- Queen Amidala can kill Naboo soldiers (except Captain Panaka) and civilians. She can also kill Nute Gunray instead of capturing him.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Mace Windu was at one point meant to be a playable character, and players originally were to be able to drive an AAT-1 and a STAP-1 in the game, but these options did not make the final cut. A side quest involving Klatooine paddy frogs was cut from the final game, as were the related characters Jabba's porter and Jira. An entire planned level of the game driving the tribubble bongo in the Planet Core also did not make the final cut; neither did a conceived Gungan battle level starring Roos Tarpals.
- Most NPCs in the game will either hold a dialogue with the PC or refuse to. Mat Rags is the only NPC who is programmed to make a random decision on whether or not he will.
- Due to a game bug, Qui-Gon can kill Maul on Tatooine. Interestingly, this will result in the player failing the mission, although on rare occasions this may not happen, and if Qui-Gon returns to Mos Espa's entrance, the guards will attack him for killing someone.
- The only characters voiced by the same actors as in the films are Watto, Anakin Skywalker, and Jar Jar Binks.
- For reasons unexplained, Skywalker Ranch insisted Gamorrean guards on Tatooine be cut from the game. They were replaced with an as-yet unnamed gray-skinned species, to which the Scavenger belongs.
- Some NPCs were designed to look like Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, David Bowie, and Sean Connery. Gillian Anderson and David Bowie inspired the appearance of tourists on Coruscant. Sean Connery inspired the appearance of a Naboo prisoner in Theed. David Duchovny inspired the appearance of a hobo in the Restricted Area of Coruscant.
- Several events and quotes of the game mimic the original trilogy, particularly in the Tatooine levels. For example, several thugs in Mos Espa claim that they have a death sentence in five systems, much like Cornelius Evazan. A Jawa sandcrawler can be found in Mos Espa Arena, its inhabitants killed by Tusken Raiders. The bar in the Mos Espa Arena is similar to Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, and a character almost identical to Max Rebo is playing in the bar. The track "Attack of the Sandpeople" plays when attacked by Sand People. Also on Naboo when you have to push a stump into a pit, the track "The Magic Tree" plays when in the swamp mirroring Dagobah.
- Inside the Mos Espa Cantina the Menue Music of "X-Wing Alliance" can be heard.
- For the level "Encounter in the desert" no new voice lines were recorded: everything said by Qui Gon, Watto or Shmi has been recycled from other parts of the game.
Critical ReceptionEdit
Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace received generally mixed to positive reviews, and was praised for its graphics, exploration, action and sound. However, the game was criticized for its simple gameplay controls and camera angle which provided a short field of view. The PC version holds an aggregate score of 63.35% and 56.42% for the PlayStation version at Game Rankings. The PC version has slightly better and more detailed graphics than the PlayStation version.

Suggestion: Change "show/hide panel" position according to panel position
patoezequiel last edited by Pesala
Hi guys.
After using the browser for a couple hours I found that having to click the toggle button on the left side of the status bar in order to do something with the panel that's set to be in the right side of the screen is pretty frustrating.
It'd be great to have the button right below the place where the panel will show, in this case on the right side of the status bar.
@patoezequiel This was one of the first bugs that I reported back in July 2015.
(VB-8055) Icon to Show/Hide Panel on Wrong Side
Bug numbers are now probably over 26,000 so you may understand why some bugs don't get fixed quickly while others do. Just use the shortcuts to show/hide the panels.
dLeon last edited by
The request to move the toggle is OK.
But, why not;
- Tick "Show Panel Toggle". This toggle type will always follow panel position. Of course, it use a fraction of screen estate.
- Use F4 (default) to hide/unhide panel bar.
Personally, I never show Status Bar (only info overlay). So, I never see that bottom left panel toggle.
patoezequiel last edited by
@dLeon I completely missed that shortcut. Thank you!
@patoezequiel The following line of CSS code added to common.css can move the show/hide panel icon to the right
/*MovePanelToggleOnRight*/ .paneltogglefooter {order: 1;}
Vote for Move Hide/Show Button to Right if Panels are on the Right

Donegal man charged over Hyde Park bombing
A man from Donegal has been charged with the murders of four soldiers in the IRA's 1982 Hyde Park bombing.
John Anthony Downey, 61, of County Donegal, Ireland, is accused of being responsible for a car bomb left in South Carriage Drive which
killed four members of the Royal Household Cavalry as they travelled from their barracks to Buckingham Palace.
He was arrested at Gatwick Airport on Sunday.
Sue Hemming, head of special crime and counter-terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "The Metropolitan Police Service has been investigating the explosion near Hyde Park in London which occurred on 20 July 1982. We have reviewed the evidence gathered and authorised them to charge John Anthony Downey, 61, of County Donegal, Ireland.
"It is alleged that Downey is responsible for the improvised explosive device contained in a car parked in South Carriage Drive, SW1, London, which resulted in the deaths of four members of the Royal Household Cavalry, Blues and Royals, as they travelled on their daily route from their barracks to Buckingham Palace.
"Downey has been charged with the murders of Roy John Bright, Dennis Richard Anthony Daly, Simon Andrew Tipper and Geoffrey Vernon Young. He has also been charged with intending to cause an explosion likely to endanger life contrary to S3 Explosive Substances Act 1883."
Downey will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court this afternoon (Wednesday).
The Household Cavalrymen of the Blues and Royals were riding through Hyde Park on their way to the Changing of the Guard when the bomb exploded
Four men and seven horses were killed and a number of police officers and civilians were injured.
Less than two hours later, a second explosion in a Regent's Park bandstand killed seven Royal Green Jackets bandsmen.
The allegations against Downey are not related to this second incident.

Haus der Kulturen der Welt starts its new program year in February with the theme days Narrating War. The project asks: What is it about the experience of extreme violence that that makes it so difficult to understand and to speak about? What does describing the "indescribable" mean for the survivors, and for those who have been spared—and for the observers? Narrating War, conceptualized by publicist Carolin Emcke and historian Valentin Groebner, is devoted to this paradox.
How do mortal remains, DNA samples, and satellite images become forensic evidence? What role do imaging techniques and methods of representation play in the investigation of crimes or political acts of violence? On the basis of studies carried out in a three-year research project with around 20 participants at Goldsmiths in London, the exhibition Forensis, curated by Eyal Weizman and Anselm Franke (March 15 to May 5) explores the procedures, tools, and spatial techniques used in forensics, as well as its potential as a new aesthetic-political practice.

For Bollywood, Oscar is a big yawn againFebruary 24th, 2008 - 8:11 pm ICT by admin
(Weekly Roundup)
By Priyanka Khanna
New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) While the 80th Academy Awards for Merit has the global entertainment industry electrified, it has yet again bypassed India, the world's largest producers of films. Known as the world's most prestigious movie award, the glittering 13.5-inch statuette of a knight holding a crusader's sword on a reel of film continues to evade India, a land where filmmaking began at about the same time as the rest of the world. "Eklavya - The Royal Guard", India's official entry this year for the Academy Award in Best Foreign Film category, failed to make it to the final list.
The first film to win an Academy Award in the foreign film category was Jean Renoir's "Grand Illusion" in 1938. Even developing third world countries like Algeria and Bosnia have won an Oscar for a foreign film in the last 69 years. Notably, Bosnia became a sovereign nation in the 1990s and India has been making films even before independence.
It's only three times that an entry from India has been found good enough to be nominated in the best foreign film category of the world's most prestigious award, let alone winning it.
India's first ever entry to the Oscar "Mother India" got the nomination for the best foreign film, but lost by just one vote. After that there was a long wait of 31 years before "Salaam Bombay" by Mira Nair made it to the list of the final five.
Recently, India's interest in the Oscars was re-ignited when "Lagaan" was nominated but lost to "No Man's Land".
It does seem the Academy tends to favour European films with France leading the foreign language film nominations with 34 in total and having bagged nine Oscars, and Italy following with 27 nominations and 10 wins. But the Oscar has also gone to movies with people from Arab, Far East and Slavic backgrounds.
Indian films never seem to have fitted the Oscar bill. Satyajit Ray, whom the Academy conferred with the "Lifetime Achievement Award" on his deathbed, never bagged a film-specific award. His "Pather Panchali" won 11 international awards, but no Oscar.
Ironically, Vittorio De Sica, who won two Oscars for "Shoeshine" and "The Bicycle Thief", had deeply impacted Ray's work. Even last year's Oscar-nominated Iranian director Majid Majidi is a self-confessed admirer of the legendary Ray.
Besides Ray, many filmmakers and an endless number of films have missed a chance at the Oscars but have gone on to join the repertoire of the finest cinema of the world. They include Jean-Luc Godard and Francoise Truffaut, masters of the French New Wave, and others like Yasujiro Ozu, Michelangelo Antonioni, Mrinal Sen, Claude Chabrol, Alain Resnais, Kristov Zanussi, Robert Bresson and many more.
The other Indian to have won an Oscar is Bhanu Athaiya, well-known costume designer from Mumbai. She was jointly named for the best costume designing for Richard Attenborough's multiple-Oscar winner "Gandhi" (1982).
In 2005, filmmaker Ashvin Kumar's "Little Terrorist" got nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Short Film category. And then in 2006, "Born Into Brothels", a documentary filmed in part by children of sex workers of Kolkata took home the golden statue.
With Indian studios churning out 1,000 films a year, it has the potential to be a film superpower. An Oscar will help in consolidating its power. But most experts say that India is simply not sending its best to the Academy.
India's official entry for Academy Award in Best Foreign Film category - "Eklavya" - predictably did not get nomination but it did rack up a major controversy leading to charges of bias levied against the 11-member jury of the Film Federation of India (FFI) that is responsible for selecting the official entry.
Positive fallout of the litigation surrounding the selection of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's multi-starrer "Eklavya" was that the FFI has at last framed draft guidelines to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. The guidelines said no person connected with the production or commercial exploitation of a competitive entry can be a member of the selection jury.
Reforms in FFI's procedure for selecting India's official entry are a crying need of the hour. For the last six years, Hindi cinema has dominated India's selection to the Oscars. The only exception was the Marathi film "Shwaas", in 2004.
Says filmmaker Sudhir Mishra: "Oscars may not be the most authentic one every time yet their strike rate is pretty high. A small film like 'Good Night, and Good Luck' qualified for nominations in six categories including Best Motion Picture only because the Academy recognises the value and talent seeded in such films.
"The Academy won't award a film that doesn't understand its craft. That's precisely why one can't ignore the Oscars," he says, adding: "We ourselves disrespect our talent. The FFI does not include films that are not subtitled in English for the jury to select from. As a result, those filmmakers who don't have money to get their films subtitled are not even considered."
Pritish Nandy, CEO of Pritish Nandy Communications, says: "The Oscar is important for us simply to prove the point that we can make movies as good as Hollywood, which is a fact. We have the talent. We have the skills. All we lack is the scale and that will come with bigger markets and bigger budgets. There are three big movie industries.
"Hollywood, the Indian movie industry and the Chinese-Hong Kong movie industry from where some of the best talent, like John Woo and Zhang Yimou, have already migrated Westwards. We also want to show the world that we have talent that can win the topmost awards. It's a matter of ego, pride and self-satisfaction. That's what movies are made for. Our out and out commercial films may not stand a chance but we also make good films."
Nandy says the problem lies in the selection process.
"As long as we choose 'Paheli' over 'Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi', we are in trouble. Not because 'Paheli' is a bad film. But 'Hazaaron…' is the kind of film Oscar judges and audiences worldwide can better identify with. The problem with Bollywood is that it is not proud of its best products. It is only proud of its star cast products, most of which bomb at the box office. Yet the distributors, the trade, the investors, all swear by them because it's hip to do so. Kitsch is in. Excellence is not."
Here is hoping that India will never again make the mistake of sending a film like "Jeans" as our official entry solely because it had a song featuring seven wonders of the world and Aishwarya Rai as the eighth wonder.

Account # C03-200: Other Expenses

Account # C03-214: Rental/Maintenance Agreements
Council discussed the possibility of hiring a Janitor as a Township Employee, rather then paying for a janitorial service. The Business Administrator stated this possibility should be looked into for the future.

Account # C04-201: Materials and Supplies

Account # C04-000: Parks and Playgrounds
Kelly asked if it would be possible to get shade trees for the playground. Richter stated trees would be a liability; however, doing something about the bee infestation around the slide and playground area would be a good idea.

Account # C07-201: Materials & Supplies
Roth questioned the need for the increase in this Line Item. Mr. Spiech stated this figure was determined by experience with Winter Conditions. The Mayor stated all unused funds are returned to Surplus. Kelly stated the funds in this Line Item should be left alone. Council decided to leave this Line Item as is for now.
Account # C08-109: Saturday Recycling
The difficulty in getting rid of refrigerators due to Freon was discussed with regards to the Saturday and Holiday Recycling Schedule. It was determined that if the Recycling Station was closed on Saturdays and Holidays the Township may experience a problem with discarded refrigerators and propane tanks. These discarded refrigerators and other illegal dumping would prove to be costly for the Township.
Richter suggested having the residents disposing of items such as refrigerators themselves. DiGiulio recommended charging the residents for disposal to avoid illegal dumping.

Though a relatively rare occurrence, the debate on how eye pokes are handled in MMA has been raging for awhile given the foul's potential for ending a fighter's evening (and career if serious enough). While some have called for a change to the open-fingered gloves the sport uses, UFC welterweight Jason High has an easy solution worth implementing that wouldn't involve a dramatic change to the way action unfolds.
"One thing I think they should do, though, and I said this on Twitter…eyes are just as sensitive as balls. You should get five minutes with an eye poke, to see if you can get your vision to clear up," said High in an interview with MMASentinel (transcribed by Bloody Elbow).
"Gian Villante should have gotten some time after he got poked in the eye. You see a black spot for a little bit, but if you're given five minutes, you can probably recover. Don't take the fight away from him without giving him the five minutes. That's nonsense," High continued. "You should get as much time for eye pokes as you do for kicks to the balls."
Villante suffered an eye poke against Ovince St. Preux at UFC 159 and was immediately asked if he could see. When he responded that he couldn't, the referee waved the action off, forcing judges to score things based on less than a minute of action in the third round. In the end, the officials awarded OSP a Technical Decision.
As far as changing the gear fighters wear, High dismissed the idea as being unnecessary given the odds against an eye poke actually affecting a match-up's outcome.
"I think that is all nonsense," chuckled High. "You're not going to put fingers over the gloves. That's just ridiculous. Eye pokes are mostly isolated. It doesn't really happen that often, and nobody's lost their eyeball. I never think about getting poked in the eye when I'm fighting. I'm not, 'I hope I don't get poked in the eye by this guy'."

Clear Mucus Plug But No Bloody Show – When To Expect Labor?
The passing of the mucus plug is one indicator of impending pregnancy. Essentially, the plug acts as a barrier to the uterus, protecting it and the baby inside from bacteria and other irritants from outside. Once the cervix starts to efface as delivery approaches, this plug is passed along. Typically, the plug is brown to pink and the mucus carrying it is tinged with pink or red, but a clear mucus plug is quite normal as well.
The phrase "bloody show" can be confusing because for first time moms, it can indicate that the passing of the plug is a bloody and messy affair and, sometimes it is. However, AmericanPregnancy.org notes that some women don't even know when they have passed their plug, as they are already experiencing higher than normal amounts of discharge in the first place. And, when the bloody show is less "bloody" and less "showy" than expected and a clear mucus plug is passed that goes unnoticed sans accompanying bloody show, it can leave some wondering if that's the labor signal they've been looking for or not.
In fact, clear mucus discharge can come in abundant supply during pregnancy, according to JustMommies.com that points out that the hormonal changes encountered during pregnancy can lead to hyper production of the gooey clear mucus. And, when a clear mucus plug is passed and discharge volume is high, it can be completely missed.
The absence of a bloody mucus plug and accompanying show do not mean that the plug loss isn't a sign of impending labor. A clear mucus plug that is passed without the big show involved also signals the beginning stages of delivery preparation. However, whether a bloody, red, pink, clear or brown mucus plug is passed, it's not an indicator as to exactly when labor will begin, just that it is coming. Some women can go into labor as early as a few hours following passing their clear mucus plug, while others will not start to go into labor until days or in some cases even weeks later. The passing of the plug merely indicates the body's preparations for labor, whereby the cervix begins its transition into a baby delivery device.
It's not uncommon for women to associate cervical mucus as a prediction tool. In fact, changes in the lubricating and protective goo are still used as a means to identify fertility at various phases throughout the monthly cycle. Changes in mucus color, texture and consistency are used to determine days which are most fertile so that chances of pregnancy are increased (or avoided). And, the cervical mucus associated with the discharge of the uterus protecting plug also can be used as a predictive guide of sorts, although it's simply not very accurate.
Unfortunately, while passing a clear mucus plug can signal impending labor, it doesn't come with a time and date stamp and so therefore it's merely more of a warning sign that it's time to be ready. Of course, this could mean to be ready in as little as a few hours or as long as a few weeks. Using the passing of the clear mucus plug in conjunction with how far along the pregnancy is can provide some clues. If the 40 week mark is approaching rapidly, the plug passage may indicate a much sooner labor. But, if the 36 week mark has just come, there may still be some more waiting involved.
Pregnancy is a very exciting time, and wanting to know when labor is going to begin is very common among expecting moms. However, until either labor pains begin or the water breaks, there is simply no way of telling just when that time will be. But, the mucus plug does serve as a clue; a hint of sorts that can serve as a means to know when to pack bags for the hospital or make a checklist and other preparatory measures for baby's arrival. Of course, in some cases, as noted by Whattoexpect.com, the plug passage can signal labor in as little as a few hours as well, there is just no telling. But, the color of the plug and presence or lack thereof of bloody show doesn't serve as any more of an indicator when pregnancy is near than when things present in any other fashion. It's normal for the plug to be clear to brown to pink or red in color with tinged mucus to accompany. And, while these subtle differences are normal, it's very important that when excessive blood is present (more than two teaspoons) or, it's bright red in color, that a health care provider be contacted immediately.

Perched above the ground, treehouse visitors are given an elevated perspective of the world we inhabit everyday. The 'Landscape Apertura' treehouse, located in Powell Gardens near Kansas City, MO, was designed by Robert McLaughlin, to be a whimsical, yet purposeful structure, with an aim to direct one's attention to the beautiful outdoors through framed views of nature, gazed upon via six strategically located, bold green window frames.
'Landscape Apertura,' was built in a Lincoln-log style to add to its inviting and playful nature — strengthening the notion that appreciating the natural world is as fun as it is enriching. With brightly-lined windows, or 'apertures,' of different sizes and shapes, McLaughlin's structure provides six different, calculated outward views. McLaughlin hopes to prove that a framed and deliberate view may encourage people to appreciate their natural environment more so than that of an expansive, sometimes overwhelming view of the outdoors.
The materials used in the construction of Landscape Apertura are both local and recycled, as 90% of the wood was taken from surrounding deconstructed houses. The wood was sourced from Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Kansas City — which recycles the 2 x 4s from deconstructed homes in the surrounding area. Even the bright green windows are constructed from recycled floor boards.
McLaughlin's thoughtful 'Landscape Apertura' is an imaginative piece that manages to be environmentally-sensitive in its construction and execution — in fact, we wish we could climb up and enjoy the views too!

As Obama administration apparatchiks stampede the doors so they can become rich as lobbyists, no one seems to be talking about someone who is critical in the Obama White House: political director Patrick Gaspard. Is he staying or is he leaving? So far it's not clear.
Here's why it's important: while Obama is now shedding some of the familiar radical faces in his outfit and bringing in alleged "centrists" such as Chicagoland's William Daley as White House chief of staff, the extremist power behind the throne, the Big Labor puppet Gaspard, remains in Karl Rove's former job.
The incredibly low-profile Gaspard, formerly executive vice president for political and legislative affairs for the gargantuan 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, is a radical's radical. He is reportedly a master of Saul Alinsky's tactics of agitation, just like Obama.
Gaspard has very strong ties to the small-c communist group ACORN and its chief organizer Bertha Lewis. He may have even worked for ACORN, at least that's what ACORN founder Wade Rathke said until someone powerful told him to shut his mouth.
The frequently clueless Ben Smith of the Politico suggests Gaspard is staying put. Just before the election Kenneth R. Bazinet of the New York Daily News reported that Gaspard expected to get the axe if Republicans triumphed in the November vote.
Right now Smith, bless his microscopic little heart, seems to be right.

"Journalism is in trouble as an idea. Does this matter? The fourth estate cannot, thank goodness, be managed, reformed or even considered as a coherently organized profession. But journalists could think more clearly than they do about how to improve the level of trust in their work. The case for the professionals needs making all over again. With humility."He writes in review of Bob Fox's new anthology of reportage 'Eyewitness to History' - a 2,000 page lintel. And paradox to boot.
'The case for the professionals' can't be made without accepting that their/our base currency - the story - is dead. And that we 'professionals' need the people we used to think of as our audiences to keep us honest or 'improve the level of trust' in our work.

On a warm night in August of 2008, Peggy Bartels of Silver Spring, Maryland was awakened from a deep sleep by the annoying ringing of the telephone.
Peggy turned on the light and looked at the clock. Four a.m. Who on earth would be calling her at that hour?
"Hello?" she said groggily. It was her uncle, Kwasi Bernasko, in Ghana. "Your uncle, my brother, has passed away at the age of ninety," he explained. "Out of all his relatives, the ancestors have chosen you to replace him as king."
Peggy groaned. "Please don't play games with me," she pleaded. "I am tired and it is not time yet to wake up in Silver Spring."
Her uncle's laughter rippled over the phone. "I'm not playing games with you. This is real."
Peggy rubbed her eyes as the truth sunk in. She was a naturalized U.S. citizen and had worked as a secretary at the Ghanaian Embassy in Washington for more than twenty years. For the past two years she had been the ambassador's social secretary. Now her whole life was about to change.
"I'm king?" she asked. She was so tired perhaps she hadn't heard him right. "No female in our tribe has ever been made king. You're sure you don't want me to be the queen mother?"
"Accept it, Peggy," said the voice 4,000 miles away. "And don't let us down."
On September 27, Peggy found herself hoisted on a palanquin with a massy gold crown on her head and the scepter of state in her hands, which was, admittedly, a far cry from secretarial work.
Now Peggy Bartels, otherwise known as King Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI, has teamed with Eleanor Herman, a New York Times best-selling author of books on women's history, to tell her astonishing story to the world. Nana and Herman will return to Ghana in September 2009 for a busy stay of several weeks, which Herman will fully document.During her visit, the new female king must:
- bury her dead uncle in an elaborate royal ceremony
- preside over the ancient harvest festival
- rebuild the royal palace, which has fallen into decay
- render judgments on disputes in her kingdom
- meet with high-level Ghanaian officials, some of whom are her subjects
- seek to obtain financing for a high school for her kingdom, which currently lacks opportunities for higher education.
- increase loans and business opportunities for women
- meet with her ancestors in the royal chamber of ancestral spirits, where the dead will give her advice on ruling her people.
While doing all of this, King Nana must confront traditional prejudices against women, especially women in power. How cooperative will her council of elders – composed mostly of elderly men – be with a female king? How will they feel when she adds to their group several loud-mouthed women in their thirties? How will she empower women to support their families? How will she stop men from beating their wives?
King Peggy: The Remarkable Journey of an American Female King in Ghana will be a kind of non-fiction Number One Ladies' Detective Agency, full of outrageous characters, moving scenarios, and a resourceful African lady who knows how to meet every challenge.

"We are adding classes because we had such a great response," Jeanne Brown, class leader, said. "We are so happy to be offering this program locally, because many of our members drove at least an hour previously to attend meetings, and meetings are such an important component to weight loss because of the support and information shared amongst the members."
A new member to the class was quoted as saying, "One of the best reasons I came to the meeting was to pick up tips and pointers from the other members who have already dealt with the issues that I am having."
Charmain Fenoff, owner of Charms-Hands, also said that she is working together with Cobble Hill Inn owner Chrissy Cashin to help with eating healthy.
"The Cobble Hill Inn will be adding two weekly specials for those of us on Weight Watchers," said Cashin. "We are more than happy to accommodate any special health needs, like steamed vegetables, no butter oil, dressing on the side, anything that you would like to ask us to do, just ask."
"The Weight Watchers program will be open to all in the other half of the building," said Fenoff, who owns the businesses located next to Champlain National Bank.
Fenoff said that the Weight Watchers program will be held on Mondays and Thursdays at 5 p.m., and that the new ladies fitness center will be open for flexible hours.
"We have a universal gym for strength training, pilates and a total gym machine," Fenoff said. "There are also three bikes, three treadmills and three air walks. We also have a room for those who want to work out with DVDs, which we have a bout 50-100 of. We are also going to have Wii tournaments because they are always fun."

Jayasuriya turns 40, eyes next World Cup
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya turns 40 on Tuesday, with a vow to carry on until the 2011 World Cup despite his being the oldest cricketer still playing at the top level.
"Age is not a problem, it is how you stay mentally and physically fit to remain on top of the game, to try out new variations in the bat and ball," Jayasuriya said.
The dashing batsman, who also bowls left-arm spin, made his international debut against Australia in Melbourne in 1989 and won praise as an all-rounder during Sri Lanka's victorious World Cup campaign in 1996.
Jayasuriya is only the second batsman after India's Sachin Tendulkar to pass 13,000 runs in One-Day Internationals. He is also the oldest batsman to score a one-day century, at 39 years and 212 days.
"I don't really worry about records anymore these days," the left-hander said. "I focus on putting runs on the board, to help the team win matches."
Jayasuriya retired from Test matches in 2007, but continues to shine in the physically challenging shorter version of the game, determined to prove he has a few more miles left on the clock.
The short but powerfully-built batsman is virtually unstoppable when on song, and scored freely during the recent World Twenty20 in England where Sri Lanka won six successive matches before losing to Pakistan in the final.
Jayasuriya said the emergence of talented young players meant he could never take his place for granted in the national team.
"Playing with youngsters is extra hard these days," said the all-rounder who led Sri Lanka from 1999 to April 2003.
"There is an abundance of raw talent constantly knocking at the door for a berth in the team. And that puts pressure on me. I have to perform to retain my place."
However, he added, life is not easy for younger players, either.
"They also need to live up to expectations, sometimes the pressure on them is much more than what it was when I was starting out," he said.
Jayasuriya announced his retirement in 2006, but made a comeback during Sri Lanka's tour of England that year.
Now he does not talk of quitting and Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara said he has left the decision with Jayasuriya.
"Sanath is a match winner and as long as he's fit and willing to play for us, we are happy to have him in the side," said Sangakkara.
"He has won us a lot of matches and I am sure he will win a lot of games as well for us in the future."
Asked if he will play the World Cup to be held in the sub-continent in 2011, Jayasuriya said: "I would love to. I am taking each series at a time. Hopefully I will get there."
His next outing will be against World Twenty20 champions Pakistan, who will play five One-Day Internationals and a Twenty20 game after the three-Test series that starts in Sri Lanka on July 4.
"Pakistan has variety in batting and bowling and we are also working on a few things. Let's see, it should be an interesting contest," said Jayasuriya.

I mean, I remember really liking him in the theater in '86, but then season 3 kicked in and they replaced the butt kicking, confident Rodimus from the movie with a whiny, impatient emo b!tch. Still yet...I do love the 86 movie, and we have a great cast of 80s character in classics. I'd love to see a nice voyager scale Rodimus...to really kick in that leadership stature. I know we had the Titanium, which is a pretty good mold admittedly, but man, a nice big Rodimus Prime to fight my voyager Galvatron custom would be rad.

Archangel's Viper (Guild Hunter Series)- Nalini Singh
Release Date: September 26, 2017
Warning: Potential Spoilers Ahead!
Rating(out of 5):
Synopsis: Once a broken girl known as Sorrow, Holly Chang now prowls the shadowy gray underground of the city for the angels. But it's not her winged allies who make her a wanted woman--it's the unknown power coursing through her veins. Brutalized by an insane archangel, she was left with the bloodlust of a vampire, the ability to mesmerize her prey, and a poisonous bite.
Now, someone has put a bounty on her head...
Venom is one of the Seven, Archangel Raphael's private guard, and he's as infuriating as he is seductive. A centuries-old vampire, his fangs dispense a poison deadlier than Holly's. But even if Venom can protect Holly from those hunting her, he might not be able to save himself--because the strange, violent power inside Holly is awakening...
No one is safe.
Taking place at the same time as Archangel's Heart, Archangel's Viper follows the members of Raphael's Seven who stayed in New York to hold down the fort while Raphael and Elena are away. Specifically, it follows everyone's favorite venomous vampire as Venom, rather accidentally, finds true love. Long time readers of the Guild Hunters series may remember Holly Chang, once known as Sorrow, as the girl Elena and Raphael rescued from the insane Archangel Uram in Angel's Blood. Holly is beginning to accept her new life as a not-quite vampire but no-longer human. She works with Janvier, Dimitri and others to keep New York safe. She has reconnected with her family, and the nightmares of her torture by Uram aren't quite 24/7 anymore. But, like Vemon and Nassir (Archangel's Enigma) Holly is unique. And in this world of immortals and angels, unique is not always a safe thing.
Because of her fast reflexes and poisonous bite, Holly is assigned to Venom for training. Where others treat her gently, Venom treats her the same as any other new recruit. He pushes her, annoys her, and makes her test her limits. When a botched kidnapping attempt alerts them to a bounty on Holly's head, Venom is the natural partner to help her figure out who's behind it. But things become complicated and past becomes present as Uram's shadow continues to haunt Holly and it turns out that the past may not be quite as behind them as everyone thought.
As enjoyable as Elena is, the Guild Hunter books who follow the 'secondary' characters are just as good, if not better. Each of Raphael's elite Seven is unique in some way and we've been able to get to know the men behind the warriors in these books. Venom may be one of the ones we know the least about, so it's no surprise how eagerly anticipated Archangel's Viper is by fans! I think everyone will agree this story was worth their wait. Holly has grown into a strong woman who may still be working on her confidence, but is learning in leaps and bounds and carving a place for herself in the Tower. She and Venom have a nicely antagonistic relationship from the beginning that shows a great chemistry- even though neither believes it at first. Venom thinks she's too young for him, Holly thinks he's a jerk. But in the best Nalini Singh tradition, the more they work together, the more they discover about each other- and themselves. Emotions like love sneak up on both of them, which really worked here. Neither was looking for a relationship with anyone, especially each other, so it felt like a genuine journey of discovery on both sides. I also liked how, even though Venom thought Holly was too young for him as a woman, he treated her as an equal partner in their investigation from the beginning. She didn't have to prove herself to him, if anything he proved to her what she was capable of.
Much of the conflict in Viper comes from Holly's past trauma and what Uram did to her, but I don't think readers who haven't already read Angels' Blood will be lost. There's enough background given and Holly does enough flashbacks, that new readers will catch up quickly. Holly's story is one that she herself is still discovering, and the questions readers (new and old alike) have are questions Holly is looking for answers to: what did Uram do to her? What is she now? Why does she have the abilities she has, and what is the darkness inside of her? The answers we get by the end are both a surprise and not a surprise. Holly has to learn what Nassir and Venom, and plenty other Nalini Singh characters, have learned: you are unique, an individual, and it is your choices that make you what you are, not what others try to label you.
A great addition to a great series- Nalini Singh fans and paranormal romance fans will love Archangel's Viper!

My garden is doing well but the tomato plants seem to be dying…although they are still producing tomatoes like crazy.
Since Friday I've picked eight pounds, thirteen ounces of tomatoes. Almost three pounds are the larger tomatoes. These will probably turn into some kind of salsa later this week once I get some more from the garden and the CSA.
But most of them are cherry tomatoes.
The cherry tomatoes I will slow-roast again, because those turned out super-tasty. They take a whole evening though, so I have to start them right when I get home from work and take then out when I go to bed.
I froze last week's in a mini muffin pan and will then transfer them to freezer bags. This way they won't freeze into a giant block and I'll be able to pull out just what I need. It's amazing that two entire baking sheets of tomatoes cook down into this.
What do you do with cherry tomatoes?

Back to School Shopping–10 Ways to Save & Helpful LinksMonday, August 31st, 2009
It is hard to believe that we're back to this time of year again! Many of you are out there braving the busy stores doing back to school shopping for your kids. It can be a stressful time of year. When the first day of school finally arrives and you can catch your breath, come on in for a relaxing massage to rejuvenate yourself! We'll be waiting for you! Here are some ideas of ways to ease the burden on your pocket book this fall:
Shop at Bargain and Dollar Stores
Your local dollar or discount store is a great place to save money on back-to-school supplies. Name-brand versions of supplies like pencils, rulers, highlighters, scissors, erasers, folders, and notebooks may be discounted to around $1 at dollar stores. You may not find everything you need, but it's worth a shot to see what they have in stock.
Check Out Yard Sales and Thrift Stores
If you like to bargain, then yard sales and thrift stores are your one-stop deal spots. Binders, notebooks, backpacks, lunch boxes, and other school accessories can be purchased at unheard-of prices. Many times yard sales have unused items, but if your finds have some wear and tear, a little creativity and family craft-time can bring them back to life. You can also find quality vintage accents for a dorm room, if your teen is heading off to college. Couches, nightstands, lamps, desks, and other furniture and accessories are heavily discounted there.
Use Loose-Leaf Paper
A common mistake when the school year ends is throwing away spiral notebooks — blank pages and all. Instead, use binders with loose-leaf paper. That way you use only the paper you need and can save the rest for next year. If spiral notebooks are necessary, purchase notebooks with perforated pages that rip out cleanly, so blank pages can be reused as loose-leaf.
Buy a Reusable Lunch Box
Instead of packing your child's lunch in a new brown bag every day, pack it in a fun, reusable lunch bag that reflects her personality.
Shop Online
Save money on school supplies and back-to-school clothes by shopping online. Office supply companies may offer better prices online than in their stores. Be sure to look for inexpensive delivery options, to keep the overall price down. This way, you save time, gas, and money.
Have Kids Chip In
It's amazing how much your child does not need when it comes to spending his own money. By having kids chip in on their school supplies and especially school clothes, you can save money while teaching your child a lesson in money management. Kids may even feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing that they contributed their own money.
Stock Up for Next Year
Every school season follows the same routine: School supplies are bought, kids go back to school, and then the stores put everything on sale. Retail stores tend to discount school supplies even more after the "buying season" is over. By thinking ahead and taking advantage of markdowns this year, you're sure to save money for next year.
Get Creative
Most schools suggest that books be covered with a protective layer to keep them newer longer. Instead of spending money on fancy book covers, get creative with what you have at home. Extra wallpaper, old wrapping paper, newspaper, and brown-paper bags make great book covers at little or no cost. A plain cover also provides a blank canvas for kids to express themselves creatively. Forgo expensive, novelty pencil and lunch boxes, supply boxes, and binders, for plain, less expensive versions. Then let your kids dress them up with stickers, decals, and paints.
Here are some helpful links for you on everything back to school:
