If these burners are anything like the burners I know, they plan months in advance for an event that they look forward to the moment they leave the previous year. Not a huge loss then.
So this person would be the same type of person who buys an airline ticket from Australia, rental for an RV, and yet doesn't buy the ticket? Because if I were paying to bring an art project to BM, the absolute very first thing I'd be purchasing is the ticket to get in the door.
meaning the type of person who works in a coffee house? i don't think this would include international burners (excluding canadians) unless they threw some pretty big fund raisers.
It's the same kind of thing because there is a substantial investment in attending, and yet they drop the ball on the most important thing that will actually allow them to attend. I see little distinction.
Coachella doesn't attract the same type of people;
you mean, spectators?
Spectators who have to bring their entire camp with them for a week instead of staying at a hotel at a polo club? Spectators who don't need to travel to the middle of a dry lake bed in hellish conditions? Spectators who aren't just there to watch their favorite mainstream band? Yeah, I think it attracts different folks.
it doesn't have easy accommodations;
burning man doesn't have easy accommodations.
Sorry, that was a typo.
it is only half the size of BM;
do you mean in terms of area? in 2010, coachella had 75,000 spectators or more each day.
You're right, that was incorrect.
and it has mainstream bands people want to see.
burning man has mainstream DJs booked though agencies by bmorg.
As stated before, BMorg doesn't book anyone. Actually, all Bmorg organizes are the temple, man and megatropolis burns and the facilities. Everything else is brought by other people.
BM may sell out again next year, and there will be scalpers. It won't be a problem though, because tickets will be available for a long time.
coachella tickets were being scalped for $800, and many people thought that was a good deal. professional scalpers scooped up hundreds of tickets each. i don't know why they'd leave burning man alone now that they know the event can actually sell out. the race will be on, and there will be tens thousands of dollars to be made by pro scalpers. i'd be surprised if tickets are available after one week.
We'll see. I'm betting it'll be another replay of this year.

JAMES Marsh is understandably pleased he's been able to make his espionage thriller, Shadow Dancer. In 2005 he directed The King, a religious drama starring William Hurt and Gael Garcia Bernal, and it was not well received.
''People hated it,'' says the English filmmaker, who had to return to documentary-making when work subsequently dried up.
Marsh rebounded with Man on Wire in 2008, which won an Oscar for best feature documentary, and the equally acclaimed Project Nim. With his stock renewed, he put together Shadow Dancer. It's the story of a young woman, Colette (Andrea Riseborough), who, because of a British intelligence officer (Clive Owen), is forced to choose between betraying fellow IRA members, including her brothers, or going to jail and losing her son.
''It's an uncomfortable and quite gripping thriller because the spying takes place within a family setting,'' Marsh says. ''This is about the ties of blood and how they can be tested and pulled apart and inverted. Film is such a great medium for deception because it's visual.''
Marsh and writer Tom Bradby, who covered Northern Ireland's sectarian violence as a TV reporter, have removed the politics from the story and focused on the personal betrayal. The early-1990s setting offers a pre-digital intimacy that recalls Tomas Alfredson's labyrinthine adaption of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
''It's all about what we know and the characters know, and the discrepancies between [these],'' Marsh says. ''We respect the audience's intelligence, but we don't lay things out too simply because life isn't like that.''
The vagaries of independent filmmaking meant Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall almost played Mac and Colette. A delayed start made them unavailable and Owen, who had been unavailable, became available and joined Riseborough, who gives a fine performance that operates on different levels not resolved until the end.
If Shadow Dancer has been far more successful than The King, it doesn't mean they are opposites. Both concern interlopers bringing dangerous change into a home. ''Project Nim was also about a very strange family, one with the chimpanzee as the interloper,'' Marsh says. ''There are probably psychological reasons why I'm interested in that, but I'm not going to go to a therapist to find them out.''
Shadow Dancer is now screening.

King of Prussia – 10-year-old Louie Porter is ready to make another run at going back to the Elks National Hoop Shoot in Springfield, Massachusetts. But first, he will have to compete and win against boys in his own age group in order to earn the privilege to move on to the next level of competition.
Louie lovesto shoot foul shots And, last year when he heard about the Elks Hoop Shoot through his school's morning announcements, he decided to give it a try.
So he practiced and practiced and at the end of last year's shoot, he won.
His mom, Mary Ann Esposito and his father, William Porter were both on hand to cheer and congratulate him
Louie, kept on practicing and kept on winning at each level of competition he went to until he finally realized that he had made his way up to the Elks National Hoop Shoot Competition. "I couldn't believe it", Louie said. "I kept practicing after each win, never thinking that I could make it that far."
When competition day came in Springfield, Louie said, "I felt nervous, but I tried my best" and when that days competition was over, Louie finished second in the nation in his age category.
Louie's pardents could not have been prouder of their son's accomplishments.
"To compete with boys his age from all across the country and finish second in the nation, is awesome. We can't thank the Elks enough for what they put on here for all these kids," Esposito said.
This Saturday, Jan. 12, Louie will be back to try again along with many other local boys and girls from the surrounding area as Elks Lodge No. 714 holds its 2013 "Hoop Shoot" competition.
The shoot is a free open to the public event. Registration starts at 8:30a.m. with the shoot beginning at 9a.m. at the Upper Merion Middle School gymnasium, off Keebler Road, King of Prussa.
Boys and girls will compete in the following age categories 8-9, 10-11, 12-13.
Age categories will be determined by how old the shooter will be as of April 1, 2013.
Are you the best free throw shooter around? The Elks would like to see if you are this Saturday.
For more information, contact Mark Shepperd @ (610) 247-9244.

Some local school districts are adopting a program which could help students get more scholarships. This year Lauderdale County and Meridian Public Schools are joining more than 80 districts in the state that are taking part in the Mississippi Scholars Program.
Adopted by 88 school districts, the program was established about 10 years ago. It utilizes local business leaders to motivate 8th grade students to successfully complete a rigorous course of study during high school.
"The courses are there because you'll find a lot of students already taking these courses. We're trying to get more students to take more rigorous classes," says Debbie Mathis, who is the education coordinator for the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation. She says students who successfully complete this program are often eligible for more scholarships.
"I know that Brookhaven has had this program in place for six to eight years and they've awarded over a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships to Mississippi Scholars."
Officials from Meridian Community College are also praising the program as a way to decrease the number of students who take remedial courses.
"The amount of developmental education would probably decline, and that's a good thing, and we would just have students who have a solid academic background," says MCC Operations Vice-President, Barbara Jones. "I think it also would help us to be able to look at curriculum changes that we might want to do."
Jones also stresses that the program will benefit local employers by preparing an even better workforce.
"Whether it's in critical thinking, work ethic or just the background for math and science and communication that the students need to be successful, these skills will also benefit employers."
Local students who successfully complete the program will be honored with a banquet and medallion at the end of their senior year.
Since its start more than 20,000 students have been recognized by the Mississippi Scholars Program.

Discussion in 'Nuttin' but Net' started by HallGator, Jul 26, 2013.
Per request.
Look forward to the posts.
Nike Team Florida got their usual boost from athletic three-star power forward Kevarrius Hayes. The 6-foot-8 power player hails from Live Oak (Fla.) and is already committed to coach Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators in their 2015 class. Donovan watched on Saturday, as Hayes led his team defensively and finished with high flying dunks as they advanced to the national title game on Sunday. A long-bodied forward who can also play some center, Hayes shows excellent promise as a transition big man who can bring energy to the game.
Thanks, Gary.
You are welcome.
Florida wants Daniel Giddens out of Georgia, a highly rated center for the 15 class.
In Orlando recently, Giddens played on the E1T1 team with other Gator targets in 2015 Antonio Blakeney and Alex Owens. I believe both Blakeney and Owens are in the espn top 60 for 2015. Owens had a monster weekend in Orlando at the AAU supershowcase (watched him on tv). Owens is built like a tank and at times dominated a lot of the 14 kids. Blakeney is a smooth shooter.
Giddens had this to say about his experience in Orlando:
"The vibe is good here I really like it," Giddens said. "It's a nice change. I feel a little freer playing on this team, there are a lot of Division-One prospects playing on this team like Antonio Blakeney and Alex Owens (also UF targets in the 2015 class). There are a lot of good players so it's nice to be here."
Getting Giddens, Blakeney and Owens to go along with Hayes for the 2015 class would be monstrous. It helps that Blakeney and Owens are from Florida. Just getting Hayes, Owens and Blakeney would make an excellent class.
Would be really happy to get Giddens since he went to my high school.
Junior transfers Antonio Blakeney, Alex Owens elevate Oak Ridge basketball
Two of Florida's top four rising junior basketball players have been cleared to play for Oak Ridge (Orlando, Fla.) in the 2013-14 campaign, according to Buddy Collings of the Orlando Sentinel.
Antonio Blakeney and Alex Owens both transferred to Oak Ridge and enrolled in the spring, but their eligibility was just cleared by the governing FHSAA. Joining 6-foot-4 rising senior Marquel Willis, who averaged 19.7 points last season, they should make the Pioneers an instant Florida — if not national — power.
Blakeney, a 6-4 shooting guard, averaged 24.8 points and 7.6 rebounds last season for Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota, Fla.). He is the No. 3-ranked junior in Florida. Owens, ranked No. 4, is a powerful 6-8, 230-pounder who played last year for Oldsmar Christian (Fla.).
Owens and Blakeney both received scholarship offers in April from the University of Florida. Blakeney has also been offered by Kansas State among others. Owens has additional offers from such colleges as Miami, Cincinnati and Georgia.
A recent power in Class 7A, Oak Ridge will move up to 8A this coming season.
Three best teams in Orlando this season are Oak Ridge, Evans & Wekiva. Watched an ok University HS team almost whip OR at the UCF Team camp in June & AB & Owens were both on the team along with Marquel Willis.
I believe Wekiva won the large class HS division at the UF camp in June. Windermere Prep almost beat OR as well!
I went to the UCF team camp and got dunked on by Amare Stoudemire. I also got dunked on by Cornerlius Ingram, but I'd say getting dunked on by Amare was one of the highlights of my career.
Never ever got dunked on when I played HS ball - not even close. However, if you dunked the ball, it was a tech foul - so maybe that was the reason! Also no three pt. line nor shot clock!! Just say'n!
Now that is really "old school". ;^)
More experience is a better choice of words - right 5220??!!
I think it just means you're really, really old. Even Old School would call you old.

Brewster Academy Class of 2015 wing Donovan Mitchell will take an unofficial visit to Florida on Monday, source told ESPN.
Brewster's Mitchell, Reuter Trigger Wave of Recruiting Interest April 28th, 2014 10:39 pm
The Brewster (N.H.) Academy duo of Donovan Mitchell and Jarred Reuter have triggered a wave of recruiting interest following their performances this weekend at the Pitt JamFest.
Still, the 6-foot-3 Mitchell told SNY.tv Monday night that reports that certain schools are leading for him are inaccurate.
"The schools that offered me are the schools that are working the hardest because they've offered me and they talk to me the most," Mitchell said.
He said that group included Boston College, Creighton, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Iowa and Florida.
Asked if all those schools are equal, he said, "Yes, they are."
Mitchell did say that he saw a trio of school at all of his games with The City this past weekend, when he averaged 19 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds
"The schools that I saw at all my games were BC, St. John's and Providence," he said. "It shows that they're really interested, but their interest has been the same all year."
Mitchell has no visits planned "as of yet," but hopes to see "a few more schools during the summer."
He may cut his list at the end of the summer.
"After the last live period, I will definitely look to cut down my list," he said.
Mitchell's Brewster teammate, 6-8 forward Jarred Reuter, has also picked up a slew of offers and interest, according to Brewster coach Jason Smith.
Smith Tweeted that Cincinnati, Minnesota, Northwestern, Seton Hall, South Carolina, Penn State and Temple had all shown interest in Reuter. Gonzaga and Temple have reportedly offered.
Tennessee, Florida, Ohio State Recruiting 2015 Guard Andrew Fleming April 26th, 2014 4:07 pm
PITTSBURGH – Andrew Fleming brings something a little different to Team Thad (Tenn.), and that's become very apparent at the Pitt Jam Fest this weekend.
On a roster full of athletic, slashing wings, Fleming, a 2015 shooting guard out of Nashville (TN) Ensworth, stands out as a pure perimeter shooter, helping to space the floor for his teammates and knock it down when he's left open. He did that with regularity in an 83-59 win over Team Paterson in the third round of the tournament, scoring a game-high 20 points, including four 3-pointers.
As of now, Fleming holds offers from Florida, Vanderbilt, Memphis, Nebraska, UNLV, Morehead State and Tennessee Tech. But since he's made the move from the St. Louis Eagles to Team Thad for his final AAU season, several other high-majors have showed serious interest.
"Tennessee, their new coaching staff has already called me, Ohio State coach [Thad] Matta came to my school on Wednesday and watched me work out, Florida came to watch me work out on Monday," he said. "Georgia's getting in there, Ole Miss, Iowa too, some new schools."
A Jacksonville, Fl. native, Fleming moved to the Nashville area as a freshman year in high school because of his mother's job. He hopes to make his collegiate decision after the summer, once he's got a better idea which schools are going to offer during the spring and summer live recruiting periods.
Ultimately, he said his decision will come down to "building the best relationship with the coaches."
As far as an on-the-court fit: "In AAU it's hard to show it, but using down-screens, I can use screens really well and get myself free for open shots and stuff like that, so whatever team can provide that, that'll be good."
Right now, Ensworth is ranked by ESPN's recruiting services as the fourth-best prospect in the state of Tennessee and the 36th available shooting guard, but he's working on his game to try and continue rising in the rankings.
He did show off the ability to take the ball to the rim when he was given the opportunity, though he's clearly much more comfortable using screens and fading to spots on the perimeter to knock down long-range jumpers off the catch-and-shoot. If he can expand his arsenal to be able to create for himself off the wing, he could be one of the more dangerous scorers in his class.
"Pulling up, my midrange game and getting myself free, shooting off the dribble," he said when asked what he was working on. "I know I can do it, but just continue to work on it."
A look at Austin Grandstaff.
And a little Ted Kapita...

Stuart Pearce has predicted a bright future for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the winger inspired England Under-21s to a 4-1 victory over Israel in Tuesday's friendly at Oakwell.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - who was a big-money mover from Southampton to Arsenal in the summer -came off the bench at half-time with Pearce's Young Lions trailing 1-0, provided the assists for their three goals from open play in the second half as well as earning a penalty which was converted by Nathan Delfouneso.
"I thought he gave us a real lift when he came on," head coach Pearce said of the 18-year-old. "His training has looked very, very good when he has been here - we had an 11 v 11 game on the second day when we had got together and after 10 minutes of that I said to Steve (Wigley, Pearce's assistant) 'this kid has got to play`."
He added: "His performance was outstanding just in that 10-minute snapshot. He has got a bright future and he played very well here - although we have to nurture all of them, to make sure they all have a bright future."
Pearce felt he had truly seen a game of two halves after his team recovered from what he described as an "awful" opening 45 minutes.
An inexperienced England line-up - featuring nine changes from last Thursday's 6-0 European Championship qualifying triumph against Azerbaijan - struggled to get going in the early stages and went a goal down in the 25th minute when Israel launched a swift counter-attack which was rounded off by Mohammad Klibat's curling strike beyond Ben Amos.
With Oxlade-Chamberlain amongst their ranks, though, the home side responded emphatically after the break, Martyn Waghorn equalising with a header in the 58th minute and Marvin Sordell firing in a thunderbolt moments later.
An 82nd-minute spot-kick from Delfouneso and a finish from fellow substitute Henri Lansbury in injury time put the gloss on the win, although Pearce was making no excuses for the way things had started.
He said: "I think it was a strange one for a manager. I've had to sit through a first-half performance which was awful in all aspects of what we tried to achieve. But we drew a line under that at half-time and obviously the second half was much, much better.
"All-round we were better as a team, so it was a case of putting the first half to bed, learning from it and moving on."

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Former Westar Energy CEO David Wittig loses another round in his fight to avoid returning to prison over a 2003
bank fraud conviction.
In June, a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver upheld a 24-month sentence for Wittig.
His attorneys asked the entire 12-member court to review that decision. On Tuesday, the court decided 6-5, with one judge not participating, against it.
Wittig served more than a year in prison before being released on appeal. He could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
He was convicted of loaning $1.5 million to a former Topeka banker, then helping him hide the transaction.
In a separate criminal case, prosecutors alleged Wittig tried to loot Westar while running the utility. A third trial in that case was to begin earlier this month, but is delayed while an appeals court considers a motion in the case.

Osteoporosis in Men with Cancer
Osteoporosis in Men with Cancer
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become porous and weak. As they lose strength, they are more likely to break. Bones in the spine, hip, wrist, pelvis, and upper arm are particularly at risk of fracture in people with osteoporosis.
Osteopenia is a condition in which less bone has been lost than in osteoporosis. But people with osteopenia are more likely to develop osteoporosis if something is not done to stop the loss of bone.
The disease usually progresses without symptoms until it is diagnosed after a fracture.
How does osteoporosis develop?
Bone is made up of calcium and other minerals, which make bone hard. Bone density, or more specifically, bone mineral density, refers to the mineral content of the bones. It is related to how hard and strong they are. Low bone density is seen in osteoporosis.
Bone is a type of tissue. Like other tissues in the body, bone constantly repairs and renews itself. In bone, this process is called remodeling. Two kinds of cells carry out remodeling:
Osteoclasts. Cells that break down, or resorb, bone and release calcium into the blood.
Osteoblasts. Cells that draw calcium from the blood and create new bone.
A balance between the bone-building osteoblasts and bone-dissolving osteoclasts keeps bones healthy.
In young people, bones lengthen and increase in density. After about the age of 35, however, bones start to lose density and strength. Most cases of osteoporosis result from the speeding up of bone loss that can occur for a number of reasons:
Decrease in the levels of hormones (estrogen and testosterone) in the body
Lack of physical activity
Lack of calcium and vitamin D
Excessive alcohol use
Certain medicines
Osteoporosis is more common in women than in men. This is because during menopause, a woman's ovaries greatly slow their production of estrogen, a hormone that keeps the bone-dissolving activity of the osteoclasts in check. After menopause the osteoblasts continue to build bone, but they cannot keep up with the speed at which the osteoclasts break it down. If no measures are taken to prevent or slow bone loss, osteoporosis can occur.
Bone loss in men generally begins later and advances more slowly than it does in women. Men tend to have larger and stronger bones than women do and they do not go through the abrupt hormonal changes that occur with menopause. But as they age men do lose bone density, in part because of a natural decrease in testosterone. By age 65 or 70 men and women lose bone mass at similar rates. Calcium absorption, which is needed to keep bones healthy, also decreases in men and women.
How does cancer treatment affect bone loss?
Various cancer treatments can increase the risk of osteoporosis for both men and women. Some chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer and various hormonal therapies for breast and prostate cancer can cause a loss of bone density. There are a number of strategies to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Discuss these options with your healthcare provider.
What causes osteoporosis in men with prostate cancer?
It is well known that testosterone and other male hormones, called androgens, can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer. For this reason, a common treatment approach for prostate cancer is to lower the level of testosterone in the body. This approach has been successful in treating men with advanced prostate cancer (disease that has spread throughout the body). Some doctors may also use it when the disease is diagnosed early, before it has spread beyond the prostate.
While low testosterone levels can slow prostate cancer growth, they can also lead to loss of bone density in men. In particular, hormonal therapies that deprive the body of androgens--called androgen-deprivation therapy--increase the risk of osteoporosis. Androgen-deprivation therapies include:
Orchiectomy. A surgical procedure to remove the testicles, the main source of testosterone.
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs, or agonists. Drugs, such as leuprolide and goserelin, that lower testosterone levels in the body.
Another class of hormonal drugs used to treat prostate cancer is the antiandrogen agents. This class includes the drug bicalutamide.
Can osteoporosis in men with prostate cancer be prevented or treated?
Not all men develop osteoporosis as a result of androgen-deprivation therapy. But because this hormonal treatment can increase the risk of this disease, these men should consider having routine bone mineral density screenings. A type of X-ray called the bone mineral density test is a safe and noninvasive way to diagnose osteoporosis, detect low bone density, monitor the effectiveness of treatments, and predict the risk for future fractures.
Once bone is lost, it cannot be completely replaced using current therapies. Although it cannot be cured, osteoporosis can be slowed down. A number of approaches are available for preventing and treating osteoporosis in men.
Lifestyle approaches for preventing bone loss in men include:
Calcium and vitamin D. Calcium comes from the food we eat. Dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, and nondairy foods, such as salmon, spinach, and tofu, are good sources. Vitamin D comes from diet and the sun. For men older than 50, the recommended daily intake of calcium is 1000 to 1200 mg, and of vitamin D, 600 to 800 international units (IU).
Exercise. Regular physical activity, especially weight-bearing exercises, such as jogging, dancing, stair-climbing, and arm exercises can help prevent bone loss.
Stop smoking
Limit alcohol intake
Medical approaches for preventing and treating bone loss in men include:
Bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates are drugs that prevent the breakdown of bone. There are different types of bisphosphonates, some that are taken orally (by mouth), others that are given intravenously (in a vein). Two bisphosphonates--pamidronate (Aredia) and zoledronate (Zometa), which are given as intravenous injections--can be used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. They may also help prevent osteoporosis in men during androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Risedronate and alendronate are approved by the FDA for preventing and treating osteoporosis in men and women. Both drugs are available as oral tablets.
RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand) inhibitors. These drugs act in a very similar way to bisphosphonates. Prolia (denosumab) is FDA approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. It is also approved for the prevention of bone loss caused by hormonal therapy given for the treatment of cancer, if used in combination with calcium and vitamin D supplement.
Calcitonin. Calcitonin is a naturally occurring hormone important for calcium regulation and bone metabolism. It is usually given as a nasal spray.

Oh and yes lewd devil III is Inner Moks x vamp Tsukune, which is probably out dated as well since Tsukune now has under gone training.
Anyways a complete cosplay dress of Mizore, Shimapan panties not included.

I think it's pretty unlikely that Tsukune's origins will be changed at this point in the story.
After all, the thing that makes Tsukune unique, and "special" in the main cast of the story, has been and still is the fact that he was originally 100% human.
That's what makes him different, or "special" in the ayashi world, that despite being a human, he managed to survive and obtain the powers of a Shinso vampire.
I think it would pretty much destroy the entire story, if Ikeda would actually change Tsukune's origins to something that wasn't fully "human", at the very least, it would cause Tsukune to lose the uniqueness that he currently has, which would pretty much ruin everything on the achieving coexistence with humans subplot this series currently has.
After all, if Tsukune wouldn't have any relation with the "human world", to begin with, what would be the point of bringing him into the youkai academy to begin with.
Well, I agree about one thing, that at least we should be given some explanation on how Tsukune was capable of surviving everything that has happened to him so far, since just saying that he was "lucky" is to me, a kind of "weak" explanation, since you have to be more then "lucky" to be capable of surviving everything that Tsukune went through so far.
Although naturally, this explanation won't change the fact that Tsukune has been originally 100% human, at least before he met Moka, which is not something that will be changed, in my opinion at least, since the "thing" that makes Tsukune "special" is the fact that he was originally a pretty normal, ordinary guy that you can pretty much find anywhere.
As for the reason, why Tsukune was "chosen", it might be, because he has a pretty high adaptability rate to some "unexplainable" or "supernatural" events, which would definitely help Tsukune to survive his life in the Youkai Academy.
I mean to say, that he might have been chosen, because of his "personality", and not because of some "supernatural" difference between him, and other humans that live in the R+V world.

I got an idea about that fake spoiler. It's possible that Gyokuro will discover Tsukune's Alucard-like aura, and comes to a revelation that they can use him as an alternative to finish resurrecting Alucard, if they can't continue to use Moka. I'm guessing Akua would come to the same conclusion, but will be on edge once she finds out that a former human inherited Akasha's Shinso blood.

Akua, nasty as she is, is just a lonely girl who needs someone to give her some love. None of the other sisters are that way over the edge, as her...
But sooner or later she will be overwhelmed by Tsukune Charm
I might be tooo overinspired by other Vamp-Stories and the like, sure
but nonetheless I wonder how Moka did know Tsukune in her long-ago-memories. When they met in her memories she never heard his name.
And it's not that impossible, that they did have a past together in some ways.
Personalley I don't think this would totally ruin the story but maybe explain some things.
Ok, if you see it from a "pure-human-ambassador"-side then yes, it could ruin everything, but if he was half-human-half-youkai to begin with, wouldn't that fit in the "both-world-can-live-together" way of thinking?
And I always wondered, why no one said something about his lack of Yokai-energy before Kuyou interrogated him. According to Mokas lessons, they all should've noticed the human aura aka the lack of a yokai one. If not the other students, then at least the teachers...
Can't wait till next Chapter

You see, Tsukune's lack of ayashi / youkai aura, can be covered pretty simply, he was in his "human" form, like the rest of the academy students, since humans generally don't have anything like "youkai energy" of "aura's", I think that part of that disguise is to prevent yourself from releasing even a small amount of youkai energy, while you are in that "form".
I think that's part of the reason why he was capable of infiltrating the Youkai Academy so easily.
And on you're claim about Tsukune being a half human ayashi hybrid from the beginning, well true that might not destroy everything about the human - ayashi coexistence, except for the fact that, Tsukune hadn't demonstrated any, supernatural capabilities, before he has been injected with Moka's Shinso blood. Not to mention he's supposed "inherent ayashi powers" haven't made an appearance in any way, which should have definitely occurred in my opinion, considering what Tsukune went through so far, to reach his current power level.
Not to mentioned, Tsukune's parents haven't demonstrated that they have any relation with the youkai world, after all, if they had some relation with the ayashi world, you would think that they would be a little more cautious before they send their only son to such a suspiciously titled school as "Youkai Academy".
After all, isn't it a really suspicious way of naming a school
Of course, if you want, you can pinpoint me the places, in the manga, where you assume that Tsukune's apparent "dormant" powers have awakened, then we might have at least some "evidence" to continue this discussion, since for now I just don't see how you're theory could actually work.
And as for Moka and Tsukune having a past together, I think you are confusing a few things, the place where Tsukune and the rest have ended up, have been her "sealed" memories from her childhood.
We don't have the full details about that particular arc, at least I see a few things about this, that haven't been properly explained, but the main thing has been portrayed pretty clearly.
Tsukune's appearance in those memories didn't change Moka's past, it changed how Moka "remembers" those particular events.
In other words, she might think that she met Tsukune in her past, but in reality, that has never occurred. Not to mention, for some unknown reason, maybe because Tsukune is so important to her the "current day" Moka can briefly override her "memory" self, which is I believe the thing that has occurred, during Tsukune's "confession".
Of course, things could always change, but I think I will still keep my earlier opinion on this matter... that Tsukune was 100% human, before he entered Youkai Academy.

At least, unlike a typical harem protagonists, you could easily see why Tsukune has caught the attention of some many girls

I can't wait for the next chapter as well, where I assume Akua is going to get serious, and Tsukune will be forced to transform into his vampire form, probably along with releasing the first seal of the Holy Lock.
I really wonder if Akua is going to consider Tsukune as a savage beast, once she senses his Alucard like aura
Of course, I doubt that just releasing the first seal of the Holy Lock is going to be enough to beat Akua, so the fight against her, won't end in the next chapter, since this is pretty much the first fight, where Inner Moka and Tsukune actually work together to beat their opponent, so it should have an approbate scale, by taking more then 1 - 2 chapters to resolve.

Preggers Bot Up on eBay Block
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Hot Deals, Misc. Tech, Science,
What costs $12,000, is pregnant, but will never give birth? That would be this audio-animatronic, custom designed female bot up for sale on eBay. She was originally designed to demonstrate ultrasound equipment but we guess that her owner no longer needs her services. The unnamed robot (we'll just call her Mom,) can move her eyes, mouth, eyebrows, nod, turn, go up on her elbows, rotate, and curl her wrists. After programming, she could also sing to her unborn bot while moving.
If you are interested, the seller would be willing to send you a DVD of her performance. You had better hurry though, as the bidding is set to end September 2. Frankly, as talented as Mom appears to be, we can't envision living with robotic hormones running rampant.

My suggestion is to step back for a second and rethink before you post. That's all. We all get excited during a game thread. It's natural. But what's not natural is to be jumping up and down on someone when things are going well. We've got like the 3rd best record in the majors. We were on a 5 game winning streak. What's the point in poking sticks at the guy who's played a part in putting us in that position? Disagree with him all you want, and post that you do. But say your peace and move on. That's all we're saying. You're a good guy and a good poster...just dial back the dusty bashing is my suggestion.

I hate losing.
I especially hate losing games when we're ahead and it looks like it's in the bag.
I'd rather lose 10-0 then have a 5-4 loss where the opponent came from behind.

I assuming Dusty had a sentimental moment about being a magager of the Cubs is ther eason he brought in Ondrusek and Parra in the 8th. No reason in the world not to have brought in LeCure (unless he's hurt). This one was on Dusty.

The planets are in alignment for first-time home buyers. After four years of biding their time, first-home buyers are making their mark in the property market.
What's new is the combination of low interest rates, relaxed lending criteria and KiwiSaver withdrawals and subsidies. There has been a degree of pent-up frustration from those who normally move out of renting to buying.
Thanks to those factors coming together, home buyers have started to go property shopping in greater numbers over the past year, says Kiwibank spokesman Bruce Thompson. It has been more noticeable over the past few months.
Last month, 31 per cent of all buyers through Harcourts nationwide were first-home buyers. "That was up by a few per cent on the previous month," says Hayden Duncan, Harcourts' chief executive.
Buying a first home is the biggest financial decision most people will make in their lives. It's not a simple process. Suddenly you need to be a building inspector, economist, negotiator and banker all in one.
Lower your expectations
To many young first-home buyers, the house they want to buy is an average-priced home in Grey Lynn. They want the mod cons they have grown up with, such as internal garaging and two bathrooms, says Duncan.
That isn't traditionally the bottom rung of the ladder. First-home buyers in the past moved out to cheaper suburbs or bought a unit in a good suburb.
"There is a fixation with buying a property that they can walk around," says Alistair Helm, a property commentator who runs Properazzi. "That's okay when you are 40. But think about the next three years, not the next 10 years."
There is, however, affordable housing in virtually every corner of New Zealand. Even around Grey Lynn. For example, what's wrong with 2/21 Finch St, Western Springs which, according to QV, sold recently for $350,000? A 5-10 per cent deposit on that isn't out of the reach of buyers who are willing to knuckle down and save from scratch.
Admittedly 2/21 Finch St, Western Springs isn't the most beautiful property ever marketed, although the interior appeared clean and tidy in the photographs on the Anne Duncan Real Estate website.
Or, for the small family that believes it can't afford to live in Remuera, the two-bedroom brick and tile unit at 5/43 Abbotts Way has a current capital value of $345,000. There's a private garden big enough for a trampoline and paddling pool. It's for sale by negotiation through Bayleys.
If you really must have three bedrooms and two bathrooms then try 38/172 McLeod Rd, Te Atatu South, which is on the market for $350,000.The point of all of this is that you or your children don't need to start off in the average home.
Get a bigger deposit
The deposit is a real sticking point when it comes to buying property. Some people just can't save. It is possible to buy with 100 per cent finance again using a Welcome Home Loan or sometimes through a high-street lender. But it's rare, says Geoff Bawden, mortgage broker at Prosper. Most banks want some evidence that you can save before they are willing to lend.
The logic is that if you've saved, you have a vested interest in keeping up payments because you don't want to lose your hard-earned deposit.
People do find ways around this, such as borrowing a chunk of money and keeping it in their account for a number of months.
There is a very good reason to have an even larger deposit than 5 per cent. This is where the bank of Mum and Dad can come in useful.
With a larger deposit, home buyers can avoid the nasty little surprise that is mortgage indemnity insurance. This is an insurance that you take out, but that only protects the lender.
If you default on your mortgage the bank claims on the insurance to get its money back. The insurance company then chases you to recover its losses. The irony is that you pay the premium. The premiums are usually loaded onto the mortgage, which means they cost even more over the life of the mortgage.
If, however, you have at least a 10 per cent deposit, or in many cases 20 per cent, you won't have to pay this insurance.
A larger deposit also means you won't necessarily need to pay for a registered valuation. Lenders need this to ensure that the property they're lending on is actually worth what you or the vendor says it is. If the bank lends $400,000, and it's really only worth $350,000, it may have a problem should the property go to mortgagee sale. A bigger deposit often means you don't need to pay for that valuation, which can cost $500 to $800. I do, however, think that a valuation is a good idea anyway. People can and do pay over the odds for properties, sometimes sweet talked by commission-hungry agents.
Beware of interest rates The elephant in the room for first-time buyers is interest rates. Economists, mortgage brokers and property commentators do not expect rates to rise until 2014. That will come around pretty quickly, however, and if interest rates rise from their present historic low more than a few property owners who have borrowed more than they can pay off could be facing mortgagee sale. "Remember everything is cyclical," says Bawden. "If you are going to buy a property today you need to think what might happen and how you will cope if rates go up."
Get a building inspection
Don't be naive. There are all sorts of dangers lurking beneath those four walls. You may find that there is more work than you think needs doing.
One of the worst things that can happen is you buy a leaky home.
Some owners of these homes face repair bills of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many have also suffered a drop in capital value thanks to the fact that homes built during the 1990s in particular are stigmatised.
Read the council file
Most people get a LIM (land information memorandum) through their local council when they buy a property. It's a good idea to go a step further and pay to view the council file on the property. The LIM and file can reveal a lot about a property. It might, for example, be at flood risk. Or it could have been used as a P-lab. There may also be unpermitted works that have to be ripped out when the council discovers them.
Look for ways to make money from your property
First-home buyers might want to let a bedroom to a paying flatmate to help ease the cost of a mortgage.
Even better is to buy a "home and income" property. Usually this is a house with a flat attached or converted garage.
Beware, however, real estate agents are not always straightforward about these properties.
They may be referred to as "possible home and income", or a "granny flat" or "sleepout". What that means is they are almost certainly not legal. If you try to let them to paying tenants you could run into trouble with the council, Tenancy Tribunal or other authorities.
Another way to make money from a property is to buy a do-up and do the work yourself, or buy a property that can have more rooms added. That may be by changing the existing layout, converting an internal garage to a room, or possibly building a cost-effective extension.
Beware, however, building works are renowned for costing far more than expected.
Read a book or three
Plenty has been written on how to buy your first home.
My advice is to head to the local library and pick up a book on the subject of home buying. Two such books are The Streetwise Home Buyer by Stephen Hart and The School of Home Truths by Martin Hawes. There are also good online guides such as Kiwibank's Your First Home guide, which can be found at tinyurl.com/KiwibankFirstHome.

IT IS not often that a shareholder or group of shareholders calls an extraordinary general meeting to topple a board, take operational control and neuter a major shareholder citing allegations of "serious conflicts of interest", "misrepresentation and obfuscation", financial irregularities and misappropriation of $1 billion of corporate funds.
But in London, former Leighton boss Wal King has put his imprimatur to a 28-page letter released to shareholders of London-listed coalminer Bumi plc that says just that.
Given the tone of the letter and the battle that will ensue between two major shareholders in the lead-up to the EGM on February 21, it is something of an irony that the venue chosen for the showdown is the Honourable Artillery Company in London's City Road. According to the website it was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1537 by Henry VIII, a king who wasn't averse to cutting off heads.
The fight has attracted global attention well beyond what Bumi's $1.3 billion market size would seem to merit as the story unfolds of intrigue, shadowy deals, whistleblowers, politics, power - and of course money. It comes a day after The Sunday Times interviewed Bumi chairman Samin Tan, who said the plan was doomed because the Bakries, the largest shareholders, had vowed to enforce legal rights to stop it.
"It's fine that Nat [Rothschild, who called the EGM] has a plan, but I don't believe he can execute it. He has proven that his confrontational approach does not work."
The letter, released by Rothschild, asks shareholders to vote to remove 12 of Bumi's 14 directors, remove the chief financial officer and chief executive, seek control of a key asset, Berau Coal, and enforce the selldown of the Bakrie Group and associated shareholders known as the Bakrie Concert Party.
King is holidaying in the US but has been talking to shareholders ahead of the EGM. He is considered eminently qualified to take on the role of independent chairman of a company that has been dogged with controversy for more than a year.
Indeed, his experience in Asia and contract mining was behind the decision to offer him the role as chairman. He was chief executive of Leighton for 23 years and during his reign he took the construction company from a market capitalisation of $70 million to $10.3 billion at its peak by expanding into Asia and creating the biggest contract miner in the world.
Bumi plc, which holds a series of coal assets in Indonesia, including an 85 per cent stake in one of Indonesia's biggest coalminers, Berau Coal, was listed on the London Stock Exchange in November 2010 at $3 billion. The Bakrie family emerged with 30 per cent and Rothschild's shell company, Vallar, 14.9 per cent. According to Rothschild, the intention of the listing was to "create the world's largest and lowest-cost producer of thermal coal" and bring improved standards of operational management, financial discipline and corporate governance to its operations in Indonesia.
The letter to shareholders alleges a failure by the board to secure effective control of key Indonesian assets, a failure to "prevent or seek redress" for the misappropriation of company assets, a failure to explain why the board allowed the chief executive to change his CV, and a failure to require the chairman to explain the exact nature of his side deal with the Bakrie Group.
The letter also questions a loss of $75 million of funds from one of the company's assets, Berau, which it says is unaccounted for; it questions why the board didn't look into claims by a former CFO of Bumi Resources, Stefan White, of possible financial irregularities in relation to capital expenditure at the Pendopo coal project; and it says a 30 per cent stake in infrastructure assets of PTMP that was transferred in June 2012 from Bumi Resources to Tata Power for $1 was a "blatant transfer of value out of the group".
But the biggest criticism is of the board's decision not to release the findings of an investigation into the company's financial transactions by law firm Macfarlanes. "We believe the subject matter of the Macfarlanes investigation provides a damning indictment of the inner workings of the Bakrie Concert Party and that, had it occurred in the UK, could constitute seriously criminal behaviour, if proven."
It says the failure to make public the findings represents a "serious disappointment for shareholders" seeking to discover what happened to up to $1 billion of misappropriated corporate funds. "Equally disappointing is the company's decision announced in January 2013 not to pursue many of the pressing lines of inquiry presented by the whistleblower disclosures and other evidence."
The board rejects the allegations and claims it was unable to access the required data from Bumi Resources. It says its decision not to publish the report was partly based on the fact that it was unable to check the veracity of the whistleblower.
However, Rothschild dismisses this on the basis that the chairman of Bumi should have been able to secure the law firm all the access it needed given he "controls three seats on the Bumi Resources board (including himself and the CFO position) as well as 29.2 per cent of the voting rights of Bumi Resources."
The stoush is complex, the stakes are high and the allegations are serious. With another 17 days left until D-Day, a lot can happen, and undoubtedly will.
Wal King joins Bumi rebellion
IT IS not often that a shareholder or group of shareholders calls an extraordinary general meeting to topple a board, take operational control and neuter a major shareholder citing allegations of "serious conflicts of interest", "misrepresentation and obfuscation", financial irregularities and misappropriation of $1 billion of corporate funds.

Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Bill Clintons postWhite House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive) business associations to the media blowups that have bruised his wifes campaign, to the private-jetting around with a skirt-chasing, scandal-tinged posse.
Some point to Clintons medical traumas; others blame sheer selfishness, and the absence of anyone who can say no. Exploring Clintonworld, the author asks if the former president will be consumed by his own worst self.
It was a wedding straight out of Sex and the City: a rehearsal dinner looking out over the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero, a garden ceremony and dancing reception in a grand château outside Paris, topped off by a private fireworks display.
The groom was a thirtysomething American lawyer with friends in high places, the bride a dark-eyed designer with social sheen, and the guest list a mix of family and what Noël Coward once called Nescafé Society.
But the real cynosure of the occasion last August was the smiling, snowy-haired man who is the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral he attends, the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton.
He had come to the City of Light with the motley crew that constitutes some of the post-presidential rat pack to celebrate the marriage of Douglas Band, the man who for the last decade has been his personal aide, gatekeeper, enforcer, andmore recentlycounselor in the multifarious business, philanthropic, and political dealings that keep Clinton restlessly circling the

As stock indexes surge Wednesday, the market's worry barometers are plunging. And yet for MKM Partners' derivatives strategist Jim Strugger, the math of stock-market volatility still shows plenty of embedded risk.
He's unconvinced that the rise in the CBOE Market Volatility Index to 23 last month is the end of what, historically speaking, he says are typically 5.5-year cycles of elevated market volatility. The current one, dating to 2008, is about five years old, suggesting that investors can expect one last gasp before markets return to a calmer period.
Strugger here:
[W]hile a fiscal cliff deal would likely be the catalyst to unwind [December's] elevation in risk, the extended suppression of implied volatility over the past six months means that a high-magnitude event will remain a threat. As a result, we think the current and subsequent risk flare-ups need to be treated with caution until relevant metrics have signalled all-clear.
We'll see. In the meantime, traders who bet on short-term volatility are out of luck again Wednesday. The leveraged ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) and the VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short Term ETN (TVIX) are plunging by 18%-20% after falling 23%-24% on Monday. The unleveraged Barclays iPath S&P 500 Short-term VIX Futures ETN (VXX) is down by 10%.
The CBOE Volatility Index – which, you should recall, was only slightly above the long-term historical average at the height of investors' "fiscal cliff" anxiety – is slumping another 15% after losing about 20% Monday.
Meanwhile, two trading vehicles designed to do the opposite of those pro-volatility bets are ahead. VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short Term ETN (XIV) and the ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) are each up by about 10%.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says that Andy Carroll's challenge on David de Gea in the 2-2 with West Ham was an "obvious" red card.
The league leaders were twice trailing by a goal to 11th place West Ham, but Robin Van-Persie's 77th minute equaliser secured a point for the Red Devils. The draw takes United to 81 points, 13 clear of rivals Manchester City with five games remaining.
Though his team fought back into the game to secure the draw, Sir Alex was clearly unhappy with Carroll's challenge on De Gea at a corner as he steamed in and collided head-on with the Spaniard, and the referee's failure to punish the striker.
When asked about the challenge, Sir Alex told Sky Sports: "I think it's obvious. I don't think we need dwell on that, it's an obvious red card but the referee has seen different.
"[West Ham] are very aggressive as we've seen tonight. You hope there's a strong referee... I'm not so sure we got that tonight."
However, the 71-year-old did draw some positives from the game, saying they played "like champions", after battling back from a goal down twice on the night.
"We had to stand up to a lot there, but they kept going, our players," he added. "We were down twice, came back and played like champions I thought.
"Magnificent in terms of determination and courage to play, so I was pleased with the result."

Kevin Howard was the first one named for what it's worth. I wonder how he projects in a National's uniform? The complete list can be found here.
Kevin Howard, 2b/3b, Reds
Howard has the biggest buzz coming into this year's draft after having a brilliant season in the Arizona Fall League. A fifth-round pick in 2002 out of Miami, Howard won the AFL batting title, hitting .409-3-16 in 88 at-bats. But perhaps his strongest asset was proving himself to be an adequate defender at third base. Howard played third in college, but played primarily second base since turning pro. He's a patient lefthanded hitter with a line-drive stroke, and has shown improved power. Some scouts in the AFL liked him better at third, and Howard could be solid at either spot making him the best overall position player available in the draft. Dan Uggla (Diamondbacks) is another utility player who dramatically upped his stock in the AFL, but Howard's lefthanded bat, which could be valuable off a big league bench, gives him the edge.
Richie Gardner, rhp, Reds
Along with righthander Thomas Pauly, both are recovering from shoulder surgeries; Cincinnati thought the injuries were too much for teams to take a chance on

Looking at EM 2 for two people
October 07, 2010, 03:02:38 PM »
I am desperately trying to jump ship from Picasa to EM 2 at my workplace. We had gone with Picasa because it offered a way to share the image library (albeit with limitations and not officially supported.) However, we've run into a lot of problems and I finally have to admit it it just not going to work. Now that EM has a new owner and will hopefully have new life breathed into it... I feel more comfortable giving it a go.
So with Expression: there are only two of us. If we purchase 2 licenses (and maybe a third for a laptop) what does the actual setup look like? Where is the catalogue file saved? We understand there can only be one person working on the catalogue at a time, but hope there can be a "read-only" version available for the other person to at least view.
I'll check the DAM book to see what the recommendations are but wondered if anyone has any in-the-field observations.

Hello again,
For anyone following along at home, I found some information on the Microsoft forum:
and here
This answers one of my questions -- that if we each have licenses, we can each open up the catalog but "record locking" means that only the first person to open it will have edit privileges (which is a good thing -- I was trying to determine if we would have to have one designated "edit workstation", but it appears we don't have to,) and the other person will get a warning that they are opening a read-only so can't make changes. Good and good. (Altho' actual network capability would be much preferred, of course.)
I guess we will have to try it out to see if the speed is workable, and if keeping the catalog file on the network turns out to be a bad idea (like it does with Filemaker or Quickbooks for example, the files get corrupted unless they are saved locally.)

Continuing to update in case any lurkers find this useful (or, hopefully, in case anyone has a helpful suggestion!)
In the past month we've been experimenting with EM2 for two, as discussed above. We've found that the "record locking" scenario described in the Microsoft forums I linked above doesn't work as described.
What is supposed to happen is that only the first person to open the file is able to edit and save changes, while the second person (and any theoretical people thereafter) can only work with a read-only version of the catalog. If it worked this way, it would be fine for us.
What happens in practice is that if two people have the catalogue open, then neither one can save changes. It will let you make all the changes you want, but won't save them. Worse, there is no error message to tell you so. You can choose Save from the File menu, and you can have Auto-Save turned on, and it just silently fails to do so.
Only when you try to quit the file will it ask if you want to save. Unfortunately, you can't until the other person has closed out of the file.
We each have an iMac running Snow Leopard. Are other people experiencing this behavior? Suggestions for a workaround? I guess we could set up a "distribution catalog" scenario but I was hoping to avoid that.

Hi Becky,
The only safe way to share a single Catalog with Expression Media is to use a 'distribution catalog'.
To avoid more than one person opening the same Catalog I have a Catalog zipped on a read-only server. Users download the Catalog to their desktop machine and unzip it. They then access the Catalog from the (free) Expression Media Catalog Reader on their PC or Mac. When the Catalog is updated monthly it's zipped onto the server and users are notified by email.
While not ideal it's proving successful in a workgroup of several dozen staff. The next step up would be AtomicView or Portfolio.

Hi Roberte,
Thanks for the response and advice.
At the moment AtomicView (server) or Portfolio isn't an option for us. I am therefore hoping to implement a not-too-intense system which would allow both of us to work with images and not drift out of sync for more than a day. It SEEMS like it should be possible... but the best laid plans...
For a few weeks we followed the below scenario, with the images on the shared drive and each machine with its own local EM catalog, Primary and Secondary:
Primary works and saves on the catalog.
Secondary determines which group she needs to work on, alerts Primary to not work with that group.
At end of day, Secondary does a Sync Annotations > Export on JUST those images.
At end of day, Secondary emails a Notepad file if she has made any new catalog sets (or altered an existing set.)
Both Primary and Secondary quit EM at end of day.
During the night, two backup routines run:
1. The Primary catalog replaces the Secondary catalog.
2. The Notepad file for Secondary is copied into the Primary folder. (This is optional since we're also emailing the Notepad file, but what ends up happening is that the email just serves as an alert that the Notepad file has been changed, and this backup routines saves Primary having to manually copy the Notepad file over)
In the morning:
Primary selects ALL images in the catalog and does a Sync Annotations> Import > Merge (prefer original file)
Primary checks email to see if there is a new Notepad file. If there is, she uses it to update catalog sets.
It sounds complicated, but actually (with the help of a post-it on each computer) it was pretty easy to follow. We did see some red question marks when one or the other of us renamed or moved files, but it seemed manageable.
However, as those of you with more experience will probably NOT be surprised by, we ran into trouble yesterday when we were under deadline and both needed to work with the same group of images. Here is what happened:
Secondary imported the images and started adding keywords and other annotations (Title, Job Identifier).
For various reasons we needed to switch Primary onto that task while Secondary worked on something else. So Secondary did a Sync Annotations > Export.
Primary then imported the new folder and the keywords were there.
Primary then continued to work on the images by adding keywords and other annotations.
The day ended. We both closed the program.
During the night, the backup routines ran, as described above.
In the morning, Primary (following protocol) selected all images and did a Sync Annotations > Import > Merge (prefer original file.)
Of course, some of the keywords and annotations she had added the day before were lost. Not all, because she selected Merge, but those which conflicted with the original file (Secondary's work from yesterday) overwrote her new ones. And in some cases, Secondary had added annotations into other fields which had been deleted by Primary (as not necessary) and of course those appeared again after the import.
So... I think I understand the problem, but not what to do. I feel like I'm playing a chess game with a much better player, who will outwit my every move!
Any advice would be SO appreciated. I am going to look at the Phase One forums and the old MS forums as well.
I know the program is not built to be networked. But it seems like, with only two (reasonably) intelligent people involved we should be able to figure something out?

Hi again,
I wanted to give a quick update since my last post. We have abandoned that approach. Since then we've been trying out this routine, using two separate catalog files:
Each morning, both people select ALL images, Sync/Import/Replace Current
Work during the day tagging etc. while making sure we are not working on the same group of images (this is possible b/c there's only 2 of us)
At end of day, each person does a Find/Front catalog/Annotated (today's date), Show all. Select images, then Sync/Export.
If you made a new catalog or edited an existing catalog -- you make a Notepad file and send it via email for the other person to import the next day.
So far we have run into these issues:
- "Sync All" does not always work. At least, not on such a large group of images. Keywords we know are there, don't appear after doing the sync. Sometimes they show up if you select just that image and sync, sometimes they show up if you remove the image from the catalog and re-import, sometimes they randomly show up later on, sometimes they don't show up. Also, checking the "include catalog sets" box doesn't seem to do anything.
- Problems with the Notepad file. When you're trying to import a catalog set, the Notepad window may sometimes show your list of images with a red "?" instead of a thumbnail. I'm not sure what could be triggering this. If you create a set from this, the Organize Panel displays the total number of images you're supposed to have but the viewer area only shows the images with no "?", which is concerning, because then your number counts are off.
- If one person deletes a physical folder, the other person gets a "?" This usually isn't a big deal as the other person can just remove that ? folder.
Hope this adds to the general knowledgebase out there and any advice on the above issues would be much appreciated as well.

Back again -- sorry to make this thread all about me, me, me, but it's helpful to keep track of what we've tried...
Our "Sync Annotations" problems persist. Exporting, then importing in the other catalogue, produces inconsistent results. Not good. The issues increase depending on the amount of images in the group. One image usually, but not always, works. Sometimes one keyword comes through but not the rest. Sometimes it comes through on a second try. Sometimes you have to re-export from the other catalogue, and then it will come through. Sometimes not. Syncing (importing) all the images in the catalog never works. Sync/Export "Catalog Sets" never produces any result whatsoever.
The Notepad feature seems completely farked. When sending/receiving, you'll send one group of images in the Notepad and the other person gets something completely different when they open it on their end. For example, I made a Notepad yesterday with two groups of images in it (page 1 and page 2.) Page 1 had 91 images in it and a bit of text in the comment area. Page 2 had 6 images and text in the comment area. When my colleague opened the file, she had only 1 page of 91 images. The text in the comment area was correct, but the images were a mix of my selection and other, seemingly random images mixed in. They didn't have similar file names nor were they from the same folder. Completely mystified.
Losing my s*** over this issue, I realize EM2 is not meant to really network but even the limited tools provided don't work as described.

If i'm correct you are working on apple, isn't?
If not, you could consider IdImager. There is lot's of info on this forum to migrate.
Maybe it's worth waiting on the next release of EM (it's been almost 10 months now...)

Since my last post, we downloaded and set up a trial of Extensis Portfolio Studio, a new-ish middle of the range offering from Extensis which allows 3 simultaneous connections, costing $1999. There is a web interface and desktop software, which are interchangeable. We gave it an honest go, but after 30 days, we didn't feel we could justify the price. I could write more but that's for a different thread, probably. It did allow us to share catalog sets (which they call Galleries) which was great, and the Smart Gallery feature is also very useful. But we had enough other problems with it that we decided against purchasing.
Back to EM 2. Here is the third try at a sharing setup for two.
On the file server, in the same folder as the images, we have a primary Image Bank.ivc and a distribution Image Bank.ivc also. Both people have equal access to this folder.
If one of us wants to work on the Image Bank, she first tries to open the PRIMARY. If EM throws up an alert saying it is in use, the other person is using it, then she has to use the distribution one and be aware that her changes will not be saved. (n.b. Try opening it twice since sometimes this is a phantom error)
Every night Chronosync updates the distribution catalog by replacing it with the PRIMARY catalog. Of course we can run the sync manually at any point during the day if needed.
We are going to try the Notepad under this scenario. Our first try worked. Perhaps the problems we were having earlier had to do with the catalog files being on different hard drives (although that shouldn't matter...)
Will update with results.

Becky, using a standalone photo management software in a multi-user environment might cause the potential problems:
There is no guarantee that your media management system crashes and will damage your content due to simultaneous attempts to change it by multiple users.
Someone in your team can accidentally screw up your assets.
You cant see the changes made by other users in the same media database till you restart the media database software, or refresh the opened catalog.
Users may configure access rights on the Windows NTFS level, but it is extremely laborious, inconvenient and limited.
You cant limit an access to your content for users by roles: Restrict to download your hi-res photos for guests or restrict to users with Reader rights to change the content.
Full article here:
I guess the only safiest solution in your case is Portfolio (because you are on Mac). Because it's a true multi-user solution.

Hello K. Murat,
Thanks for the reply. I've been told it's the rule in this forum to sign the end of your posts, by the way.
As I wrote above, we tried Portfolio and decided against it. The interfaces on both the desktop and web clients are a maze of confusion and, worse, do not share any commonalities -- you have to learn two visual systems. Customizations to the interfaces on the desktop client do not stick. You think you have applied tags to certain images and later they are not there. You cannot nest or re-order galleries. You can drag images to galleries but there is no visual feedback telling you where you're about to drop your images -- lots of mistakes. And after 30 days it still had not completed cataloging our assets, which are not outrageously large.
Regarding your first and third bullet points, each setup we've tried with EM2 has not involved accessing the same catalog file, for the reasons you state, but rather synchronizing changes made to two separate catalog files. This approach has relied on the fact that there are only two of us, so we can coordinate who's working on which group of images at any given time.
As to the second point, again, with just two of us this is less of an issue, so we rely on backups to ensure we can get back to earlier versions and our original assets can be restored.
Your last two bullet points are not applicable in our case.
We use Filemaker for our other database needs, which handles small workgroups gracefully out of the box. I wish other systems would take note.

This is a follow up post. We have been using the system I described above (July 7, 2011) for a whole year now.
While not perfect, I think it's the best we're gonna get. We have not experienced keyword loss the way we did under the Sync Annotations scenarios we tried. The Notepad feature works now, so the problem there must have been related to hosting it on the NAS drive.
The biggest gripe we have is sluggish performance, which I think just comes from accessing large images on another drive. I'm not sure how to improve matters there.
I would say this is a workable system, but for no more than two people. Perhaps one or two more if everyone is extremely vigilant in following the rules, and constant write access does not need to be available but rather can be handed off to one person at a time.

Whoops, I realize that in the intervening time since July 2011, we did make one change to the setup. We no longer have the primary Image Bank.ivc file hosted on the file server -- it's on one of our hard drives instead. The other computer connects to it there when needed.
I don't remember exactly when or why we made this change, but it was pretty early on. I suspect it had to do with the Notepad issues described above, and perhaps a speed issue as well.

It aims to help users to analyze and debug multi-threaded applications
using the NPTL under Linux systems.
It is distributed under the GNU

PTT aims to answer the needs of three kinds of users:
A multi-threaded application can be traced without being recompiling.
The trace is analyzed once the application stopped:
it is a post-mortem analysis.
Three different trace formats are provided:
PTT offers the following features:
PTT can be used on several 32 or 64 bits architectures,
among which are Intel 32 bits,
Intel 64 bits and PowerPC.
In order to analyze NPTL internals,
PTT comes with a patch for the glibc
that inserts trace points
into the following NPTL routines:
pthread_create pthread_mutex_init sem_init
pthread_join pthread_mutex_lock sem_open
pthread_cancel pthread_mutex_unlock sem_unlink
pthread_cond_init pthread_mutex_destroy sem_post
pthread_cond_wait pthread_barrier_init sem_wait
pthread_cond_signal pthread_barrier_wait sem_trywait
pthread_cond_broadcast pthread_barrier_destroy sem_destroy
PTT reliability is tested using the
Open POSIX Tests Suite
which checks the POSIX conformance of a library.
Experimentations have shown that PTT rarely hangs
and only when tracing artificial stress programs.
The impact of PTT on programs is mainly tested
with High Performance Computing (HPC) applications.
Measures have shown that this impact on performance is very low,
even when a lot of threads are involved
(less than 5% with 16 concurrent threads on 8xia32).
We expect people facing complex problems with multi-threaded applications
to experiment with this tool
in order to find and fix the remaining bugs.
