The Void Beyond the Arches RPIntroduction:
Plethoras, the plane that we all call home. Christened with five continents, it is a vast expanse of land and sea teeming with life. From there, guided by the hands of the divine above, formed the numerous races that came to conquer the material plane. Leonar, Weskoth, Broxa, Fedimia and Grissom grew nations, held empires and saw them all rise and fall. Over the millenias that pass, Plethoras ahd seen countless civilizations rise and fall.
Just above them all were the gods. The progenitors of life and all-powerful beings of the Astral Sea. There was a time when the divine walked with mortalkind but that came into an end so many eons ago and thus far, they have made little efforts to affect the material plane.
That is until the first Eternal Night when their hand was forced to aid mortalkind and in time, that too came to pass. After some time, there was a relative peace between nations.
1. God modding is forbidden. I will kill your character on the spot if you do. It doesn't take much in a magical world to do so. This includes:
- Using another's character without their permission
- Doing something impossible with your character or have your character know something that he/she couldn't possibly know at the current time.
2. As much as possible, write your posts with correct grammar and be as clear as possible. You aren't the only one playing and if you can't be on Skype, this is more applicable to you since we won't be able to reach you as often as those on the chat room.
3. Editing is forbidden unless its due to these:
- You need to fix grammar/spelling issues. Notify me.
- You misunderstood previous posts. Notify me.
4. Do everyone a favor and read previous posts before you post yours. Everyone wants to have fun and RPing is best enjoyed when everyone connects.
Tools/Relevant Documents:
If you are interested to play, PM me and I will be sending you some Google Documents regarding the entire RP. Once you create your character from these, send them to me and I'll judge if they're okay. Once done, you can post the character here and I'll add them to the roster.
Once you're in, I'll invite you to the Skype group.

Last Time Out
The Crimson got its spring season off to a strong start on a sunny Saturday morning on the Cayuga Lake Inlet. Harvard swept all five races from No. 11 Cornell. The Crimson won the varsity eight by more than four seconds, handing the Big Red its first dual loss since 2008. Harvard trailed in the opening stages of the race but rallied to a boat-length lead by the midway point and inched farther away from there.
Harvard vs. Brown in 2009
Harvard won three of five races in last season's Stein Cup regatta on the Charles River. The Crimson varsity eight led by nearly a length at the 1,000-meter mark and held off a second-half surge from the Bears for a one-second victory. Harvard also won the freshman eight and varsity four races, while Brown took the second varsity eight and second freshman eight contests.
The Bears varsity got their revenge at Eastern Sprints, edging the Crimson by barely a second in the varsity eight race and topping the Crimson for the Rowe Cup as team champion. Brown and Harvard also held the top two spots in the freshman eight, with the Bears winning by less than six-tenths of a second. At the IRA National Championships, the Brown varsity finished about three seconds ahead of the Crimson to finish fourth, leading all Eastern entries. The Crimson freshmen, however, passed the Bears in their final sprint to take the silver medal.
Stein Cup History
Ownership of the Stein Cup has alternated in each of the last five seasons, with the home team winning each time, but the Crimson owns a 37-8 overall edge in the cup series. Harvard had won five straight dual meetings against Brown before the Bears' half-second win in 2006 ended the Crimson's streak of 24 straight dual wins overall.
Harvard won the first 19 races for the Stein Cup as well as the seven documented meetings between the schools before the introduction of the trophy in 1965. Four of those races occurred in the 19th century, beginning with an 1859 race on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester.
Scouting the Bears
Brown (2-0) defeated the Yale first and second varsities in the Bears' first head-to-head racing last weekend. The Bears varsity eight edged the Bulldogs by 1.8 seconds, while the second varsity won by open water. Yale won the day's other three races.
Brown also picked up a dual win against Boston University by virtue of the Bears' superior finish compared to the Terriers at the season-opening San Diego Crew Classic. The Brown varsity finished behind only California in the Copley Cup grand final, trailing the Golden Bears by about four seconds. The second varsity also finished second to Cal in the Sharp Cabrillo Cup grand final.

Diversity star Perri Kiely is back to fitness and ready to head into the final of ITV contest Splash! as the runaway favourite.
The acrobatic teenage dancer had been struck by illness and there had been fears about his future in the high diving show.
But ITV said he has recovered from his '24-hour bug' and was now all set to take the plunge for the finale, rounding off the seven-week series against Keith Duffy, Dan Osborne and Richard Whitehead.
Latest Stories
Bookmaker William Hill puts pint-sized Perri at 2/5, well ahead of his nearest favourite, Paralympic athlete Richard, who is at 2/1 to win.
The Only Way Is Essex star Dan goes into the contest at 20/1 while Boyzone star Keith trails on 25/1.
The big question is whether ITV will commission a third series of the show and, at 1/2, the latest odds from William Hill suggest that they won't.

I wanted to take a step back a notch and do something really cool for the day's first tutorial. Now everybody has their own interpretation of God and there is many names that are given to that certain entity that we pray to. For me, I believe in God, you know the one that is Jesus' father. This tutorial is going to show you "how to draw God", step by step. Now even though the God that you and I believe in may be different, to me God is pure light, and his image is said to be the face of Jesus. I wanted to do a drawing that was both full of light, and power. I used the face of Zeus for the image in the lesson because he is one of the more powerful Greek Gods that almost everybody knows of. I was just going to draw just an intricate display of light with maybe some stars and a galaxy to represent the image of God, but then I thought that my creator should have a sketch showing how powerful he is. Even though drawing God can be done in a few different ways, I think you guys will enjoy drawing my version of the almighty with this lesson on "how to draw God". You can add some of your own unique touches to the sketch if you want, or you can draw it as you see it here. One thing is certain, this sketch would make an awesome tattoo. Anyways I hope you like what you see, and I also hope you enjoy the first tutorial on this beautiful Monday morning. Peace out people, and may God be with you.

Genetic Testing Leaves More Patients Living in Limbo
So-called patients-in-waiting have genes for disease but no symptoms
The expanding use of genetic testing is having an unforeseen consequence: More people are being told they have genes for potentially fatal diseases but don't show any symptoms.
Experts call these people patients-in-waiting. They can live in medical limbo for years while they and their doctors wonder if and when a disease, such as cystic fibrosis, will develop. Coming down with a simple cough or fever may prompt some patients to fear it is an early sign of a disorder. Another dilemma: Doctors are sharply divided about whether...

Puppet Shows Near You
We've all made some high-quality sock puppets back in the day.

But let's face it, your kids and their friends are not going to enjoy those homemade puppets that you just pulled out of the attic. But they WILL be enthralled by these professional puppeteers. With eye-catching puppets and edge-of-your-seat story telling, your kids will be talking about this puppet show for weeks!
Where do you need a Puppet Show?
About booking Puppet Shows
Puppets can make for wonderful entertainment at a variety of events, from kids' birthday parties to corporate events. A puppeteer can operate a puppet indirectly by the use of strings, rods, wires, electronics or directly by his or her own hands. Some puppet styles are so intricate (or so large!) that they require puppeteers to work together as a team to maneuver a single puppet character.
So what steps do you take to hire a puppet show? First, find a puppet show that both you and your child are excited about. For example, what kind of puppets do you want? What story do you want to be portrayed? Next, view online media. Lots of puppeteers have photos or video demos provided on their websites. And lastly, pay attention to detail. Inquire about specifics. Like will you need to provide any a certain amount of space? Follow these tips to bring your event to life!

Kerry says Russia creating pretext for Ukraine invasion
MOSCOW — Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday accused Russia of paying people to cause unrest in east Ukraine and create a pretext for invasion as Ukraine forced out protesters from government buildings.
"What we see from Russia is an illegal and illegitimate effort to destabilize a sovereign state and create a contrived crisis with paid operatives across an international boundary," Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington.
Kerry said the White House is prepared to impose more economic sanctions than have already been enacted if Russia keeps backing upheaval in Ukraine. The White House said Kerry will meet with European, Ukrainian and Russian diplomats in the coming days to try to solve the crisis.
Ukrainian security forces Tuesday forced pro-Russia protesters out of the regional government headquarters in Kharkiv, close to the border with Russia. About 70 protesters who say they want to secede from Ukraine set the building on fire before being arrested. Demonstrators in Donetsk continued to occupy a government building there.
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday warned Ukraine to stop its military preparations in eastern Ukraine or risk civil war, according to Russian state-owned ITAR-TASS news agency. Ukraine has been trying to shore up its defenses in case of a Russian attack.
NATO warned Russia not to encroach further into the region – a move it said would represent a "serious escalation" of the crisis.
"We call on Russia to pull back the tens of thousands of troops it has massed on Ukraine's borders, engage in a genuine dialogue with the Ukrainian authorities and respect its international commitments," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Paris.
Kerry called the demonstrations a "contrived pretext for military intervention just as we saw in Crimea." Last month, Russia invaded the Ukraine province of Crimea and annexed it following protests and a referendum there in which a majority of people allegedly voted to join Russia. The West says the vote and annexation is illegal.
The events in east Ukraine appear to be following the same playbook as Crimea.
Pro-Russia demonstrators in Ukraine's east are getting support from Russians inside Ukraine, though the "volunteers" as they are called may not all be acting on orders from Moscow, say experts and pro-Russia groups.
"They don't make up a big share of the demonstrators, but there are up to a thousand Russian volunteers in Ukraine," said analyst Sergei Markov, a backer of the Russian government who has advised the Kremlin on Ukraine. "They make up maybe 1% demonstrators."
Asked if those volunteers would be willing to take up arms if a conflict broke out, Markov said "of course."
Markov said the actions of the Russian volunteers is "largely" spontaneous. If violent clashes erupt, "the number of volunteers will grow significantly."
"Sometimes they coordinate their activities with (Russian authorities), sometimes they don't," he said.
Thousands of Russian soldiers are based close to the Ukraine border despite assurances made by Russian President Vladimir Putin to European leaders that he was pulling some back.
In March, Alexander Zaldostanov, the head of a biker group called Night Wolves with close ties to Putin, was spotted on a flight from Crimea's capital of Simferopol to Moscow after a referendum in which a majority of Crimeans voted for joining Russia.
Asked what was going to happen next, Zaldostanov said, "we have to keep fighting."
The Eurasian Union of Youth, a patriotic movement in Russia that has existed since 2005, is just one group that has sent volunteers to support Russian speakers in Ukraine, according to Pavel Kanishchev, who heads the union's federal network.
"We have coordinators in east Ukrainian cities, many of them are locals," Kanishchev said.
Russia has refused to deal with Ukraine's new government that ousted pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych. NATO says Russia has tens of thousands of troops along its border with Ukraine, but the EU-US military alliance has not made moves to confront the troops.

During the past year, while the resurrection of the uranium industry in San Juan County has been grabbing most of the headlines, another energy boom has been quietly growing. There have been new natural gas finds, millions of dollars spent on new gas pipelines, and thousands of acres leased for future gas exploration.
Leasing of land for gas exploration began in earnest two years ago. Many land owners east and south of Monticello leased tracts of land for fees ranging from $40 to more than $200 per acre, depending on location.
The terms of most of the leases were for five years, with the option to renew for an additional five years. Leases vary, but most stipulated a doubling of the lease fees if the exploration companies exercised their five year renewal option. Most leasees will receive a 15 percent royalty on anything produced on their property.
Drilling on leased land has produced several major gas finds. Explorations companies are close-mouthed about what they find. Why invite more competition and higher lease fees are two reasons for not advertising what is going on.
However, the proof of what is being found is in the money being spent to build new pipelines to carry the gas from the well heads to the Encana plant in Lisbon Valley.
Encana is a major employer in San Juan County, with 70 employees who earn some of the best wages and benefits in the area. The Encana plant was built in the 1960s by Pure Oil and expanded in the 1990s by Unocal at a cost of over$ 100 million.
Encana, a multi-billion dollar energy giant in Canada, purchased the Lisbon facility in 2001. The plant has the capacity to process more than 50 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. Gas production in Lisbon Valley has dropped since the processing plant was built due to ageing wells. Last year it was down to 40 million cubic feet per day. With these new gas finds, and the volume of gas steadily rising, it is expected that the Encana operation will become more profitable and will hire more workers.
For the last 30 years, Encana has been using the largest steel pipeline to send oil from the Lisbon Oil Field to the Aneth Oil Field in southeast San Juan County, where it is put into the interstate pipeline grid.
A year ago, the volume of gas from these new finds increased to the point that Encana decided to convert the Aneth pipeline from oil transmission to natural gas.
This required a major capitol investment. After getting the oil out of the pipeline a "smart pig" was sent through the pipeline in the area. This ultrasound metal detection system checked for any problems in the line, and any that were found required expensive repairs.
Natural gas comes out of the ground containing all manner of impurities , including dangerous poison gases. Before it can be used in homes and industry, it has to be cleaned and a "perfume" added so people can smell it if it escapes.
In order to clean the gas coming out of the new wells, expensive high pressure steel pipelines have been installed. They range in size from 4" to 10" diameter.
In the past year, millions of dollars have been spent in San Juan County to install six new gas pipelines to take the gas from the wellheads to the pipeline, which runs between Lisbon and Aneth and thence to the Encana plant for purification.
Anyone driving the farm roads east of Monticello many have seen the pipelines under construction. It was a tough winter to lay pipeline, and much of it was done in wet, muddy, snowy conditions.
Pipelines completed in the last year include the Eastland Spur, which runs east of Eastland to the main line north of Monticello covering 19 miles. Other pipelines are at Horsehead Point, Bradford Canyon, Horse Canyon and Bradford Summit.
While the exploration companies are not providing details on the amount of gas being found, the amount of money being spent to transport it is indicative that it is significant and of a long term nature.
Encana has recently announced that the entire assets in the Paradox Basin, are for sale. It is anticipated that a new owner may be in place by the end of the year.

For the second straight year, the Wittenberg Tigers ambushed the Capital Crusaders in the season opener. A year after becoming the first non-Division I program to reach 700 all-time victories with a 45-28 win in Springfield, the Tigers turned the trick again with a 44-17 win on Capital's home field.
Wittenberg jumped out to a 30-3 lead by halftime and never looked back in the 2012 edition of the rivalry. The Tigers, who forced six Capital turnovers while racking up 475 yards of total offense, have now won 30 of 37 all-time meetings between the two Central Ohio Lutheran universities.
In his first collegiate start, junior quarterback Reed Florence (Springfield, Ohio/Southeastern) threw for 320 yards, easily a career high. He tossed a pair of touchdown passes and scored two more touchdowns on the ground, although he was intercepted three times by the Crusaders.
A fast start made all the difference, as Florence completed all four of his passes on Wittenberg's opening possession before finishing the drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge.
"We had our first 10 plays set out for us, and we went over them about 30 times during the week," Florence said. "We executed just perfectly on each play."
The momentum carried throughout the first half, even after the Crusaders responded to the Tigers' first score with a field goal. Florence capped an 11-play, 68-yard drive near the end of the first quarter with a two-yard scoring run, and then senior kicker Sean Williams (Plainfield, Ind./Plainfield) added a 20-yard field goal. The barrage continued with a 41-yard scoring strike from Florence to junior wide receiver Jonathan Stoner (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green) and the first career touchdown from senior wide receiver Ethan Sharpin (Springfield, Ohio/Kenton Ridge), who picked up a blocked punt by junior cornerback Victor Banjo (Sugarland, Texas/Stephen F. Austin) and returned it 11 yards for the score.
Wittenberg stretched the lead to 37-3 with a five-yard connection between Florence and junior tight end Stephen Zumdick (Erlanger, Ky./Dixie Heights) in the third quarter. After Capital scored the next 14 points, the Tigers put the finishing touches on things with a 20-yard touchdown run by freshman tailback Jimmy Dehnke (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson).
Dehnke finished with 67 yards on 17 carries, while junior JaVanh Sanders (Las Vegas, Nev./Centennial) chipped in with 16 rushes for 45 yards. Through the air, junior Brendon Cunningham (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) was Florence's favorite target with 102 yards on five receptions. Junior Desi Kirkman (Lima, Ohio/Catholic Central) added three catches for 73 yards.
Defensively, Wittenberg was paced by junior linebacker Evan Killilea (Columbus, Ohio/DeSales) with nine tackles, including two for loss and a sack, which forced a fourth-quarter fumble by the Crusaders. Sophomore linebacker Nick Gibson (Marysville, Ohio/Fairbanks) added seven tackles and a pass broken up. Fumbles were recovered by senior defensive end Jon Daniels (Springfield, Ohio/South) and junior linebacker Erick Collins (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield), while Banjo, senior cornerback Karlos Marshall (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield) and senior cornerback Jamaal Everett (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) all intercepted passes in the game.
The Crusaders were limited to 267 yards of total offense, including just 77 through the air for a team that finished in the top 30 nationally in passing in 2011.
"To come out of the gates and play the way we did, I couldn't be more pleased," said Head Coach Joe Fincham. "Considering how many first-time starters we have, especially the guys who are handling the football, we played very well."
The Tigers have a week off before opening North Coast Athletic Conference action with home date against DePauw. First kick is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, at Edwards-Maurer Field.

Brennan: Where are the guns at the Olympics in Sochi?
SOCHI – How is it possible that I've been at the Olympics for 24 hours, and I haven't seen a gun?
Not a rifle, or a pistol, or any sign of any weapon or show of force from the people charged with protecting the most worried-about place on earth.
At the figure skating venue, a security officer just inside the main entry point for those with credentials barely looked up when two of us stepped inside late Tuesday afternoon, so focused was he on a video playing loudly on his smartphone. I was holding a half-full bottle of water in plain sight in my hand, expecting that he or someone else would ask me not to bring it into the venue, like at airport security -- but no one said a thing, so in it went.
We then roamed the Iceberg Skating Palace basically at will for 20 minutes, passing just a few volunteers who smiled and said hello but didn't examine our credentials -- this little more than 48 hours before the first event of the Olympics takes place there, the opening night of the team figure skating competition Thursday.
This is not to say the Olympic venues are not secure. Credentials are required and scanned when you come and when you go, at the main media center, at the figure skating venue and presumably at every other venue. Police and military officers are said to be disguised as volunteers -- and there are a lot of volunteers.
SENSE OF COMFORT:Security appears tight in Sochi
But for those of us used to seeing massive shows of force at the Olympic Games and at major American sports events, the lack of that here, at least so far, is stunning.
At the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, every media bus was boarded by an armed security detail before it was allowed near the media center, with mirrors checking under each bus.
On my first trip to the media center Tuesday on a bus from the nearby media village, there was no such check of the bus or its passengers. You might think that's because we were screened at the media village, but when I arrived there in the early morning hours Tuesday, two people were sitting at the entrance in pitch-black darkness, and neither one looked at my credential or my luggage.
WHITE:From 'Flying Tomato' to pop-culture icon
Nothing was screened. I just walked right on in unchecked with my bags to a media village within about a mile of the Olympics' sprawling and beautiful Coastal Cluster, which includes the stadium that will host Friday night's opening ceremony.
The Sochi we have heard about for weeks in the United States is quite different from the Sochi I entered at midnight Monday. It's not foreboding. It's not frightening. It seems like just another city hosting another big sporting event, with no apparent tension, no frayed nerves.
What a far cry this is from the last Olympics that worried us so, the 2004 Games in Athens, the first Summer Olympics after Sept. 11. Vans, cars and buses were checked in special stations at those Olympics, with mirrors examining underneath each vehicle, just as in London. Guards armed with machine guns stood at media bus stops and roamed the venues.
FULL COVERAGE:Latest from Sochi
We hear there are 40,000 police and soldiers in Sochi, a city of 350,000. No doubt many of them are armed. But the fact that the authorities have not made a point of letting us see even a hint of that force around the Olympic venues, at least on a first look around, is a big surprise.
I did see my first soldier, dressed in camouflage, walking through a parking lot outside the figure skating venue at dusk Tuesday. His left hand was in his pocket. His right hand was reaching for something in another pocket. I kept watching.
He pulled out a cell phone and answered a call.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Later this month, 16 players will don the Red, White and Blue to represent the United States on the field hockey field at 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.
All of those players came up through the USA Field Hockey system and were part of the Futures program that provided them with some of the best coaching in the country.
At the next Olympics games, we could be talking about some of those 16 players being coached by current VCU assistants Laura Baker and Lauren Van de Kamp, who recently earned gold medals on the sidelines at the U-14 Futures Tournament in Virginia Beach.
In late June, the country's top U-14 field hockey players gathered in Virginia Beach and were split into eight squads. Baker and Van de Kamp were in charge of the Lake Placid squad. After pool play, the Ram assistants had their squad sitting in second and ready for the playoffs.
Lake Placid took on Calgary in the semifinal, which was one of the top teams all week long. Baker and Van de Kamp's squad were able to get two quick counter attack goals and ultimately held off Calgary's pressure to move to the finals, where they would face St. Louis.
It was a back-and-forth battle, but Lake Placid was able to get the goals they need to take home the gold medal.
"Throughout the tournament, our girls worked extremely hard to play as a team. They really played outstanding all week and thoroughly deserved the accolade of winning the tournament," Baker said. "It was great to have Lauren by my side the whole time, she was a terrific addition to our team."

[a PM to someone offering a web site and FTP server, from almost a year ago]
Yes, I must agree the forum is somewhat of a ghost town.
If you are still offering a free website, and/or FTP server, PLEASE count me
in. I use my Z (SL-6000) daily, and I'm about to look through a "mile" high
pile of CDROMs for PdaXqtRom, and a bunch of other stuff.
It seems almost all of my old links are now invalid, and I'm finally about to
try to get videos working on the 6000.
I'm not sure I'll ever have the interest (or opportunity) to use my computer
engineering skills in the marketplace, and I'm gravitating towards other
interests, such as songwriting, and recording, etc. again.
Anyway, PLEASE let me know, John

I think most of us are concerned about the disappearing feeds and repositories containing Zaurus ROM images and software, it is a crucial issue for our community.
I would guess you were trying to reach Antikx, I will try to find out what is going on by emailing him and, if necessary, one or more of his pals. I think he had to sell his Zaurus, and recall he was busy working full time and taking care of his family.
But meanwhile, I do have some thoughts about getting free webspace and ftp/ssh access. Such offers are appealing, but the bottom line is that if you get freebies through another private individual, at some point that resource is likely to disappear when that person changes hosting providers or simply stops paying for service they can no longer afford.
I ran into that myself when Tyrannozaurus went down. I had software on a feed there, and it disappeared. I was not ready to pay for webspace, there were too many choices and none offering the level of service I wanted, at a price I could afford, so I did not take any action.
Then, much to my dismay, the commercial company hosting my free Zaurus website (which did not allow having non html files) stopped providing free sites, they were having too much trouble getting ads that would cover costs.
For me, it was a no brainer, I did not want the website I had worked so hard to make available to the community to go away, and I upgraded to paid service. I could have moved my site to a friend's server for free, but I decided I wanted to have my own independent site, which I could be sure would stay there as long as I could keep paying for it.
Five dollars a month is too much for just one website, relative to what I could get from other providers, but I know the server I am using is reliable, and that counts for a lot. Plus, there are links to that URL from all over the forums and elsewhere, and I would lose the little regular traffic they generate if I went elsewhere, and it would be way too much work to change domains.
Anyhow, end of rant about reliability of private offers. I do have one suggestion for you to check into, a little know resource I just found out about that is a nonprofit Public Linux System that says they offer free webspace to members!
Check out http://sdf.org, I am not sure how good they are, and the initial shell they provide is not very user friendly, you can upgrade that to bash once you are validated by another member or make a small donation.
You can see a lot of people have free websites there, just do a site search using google or yahoo or whatever search engine you like, to see examples:
Freeshell.org is the domain for free webspace for members at the basic membership level, other domains are available if you upgrade by making a larger donation.
I believe you can get 500mb of webspace, plenty for a small feed, I do not yet know if ftp or scp work there.
And I have one more thought, our community has not taken advantage of another free web resource, http://www.oldapps.com, which is mostly Windows but it looks to me like they are open to change that, they do have a Linux section. I think it would be a great place to deposit ROM images, at a bare minimum, maybe also packages. Maybe get them to make a Mobile Linux or Zaurus section.
But I will try to reach Antikx, I wanted to get ahold of him anyhow for other reasons.

Don't Buy Into The China Rally, Says J.P. Morgan
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
It looks like China bull is back, thanks to the detailed comprehensive reform report that came out of the Third Plenum. The iShares China Large Cap ETF (FXI) has gained 9.2% in the last five trading sessions. The iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) gained 7.4%. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks Chinese stocks traded in Hong Kong, gained 11.3% and closed at 11,437.
Credit Suisse thinks the HSCEI index can go all the way up to 15,000, mainly because the Chinese banks have been trading at dismal multiples and weighing the index down. The Third Plenum is the catalyst that will cause Chinese equities to re-rate.
J.P. Morgan holds an opposite view, saying until the Chinese government comes up with a solution - not a resolve - to solve the non-performing loan problem, we won't see a re-rating of the banks:
Until the Chinese government comes up with an NPL solution, banks are not likely to be rerated.
The broker is also concerned with the competitive pressure on the banks now that China is moving towards interest rate liberalization and allowing non-banks to act as proxies for banks:
Based on "The Decisions", deposit rate liberation is likely to be the next move of deregulation within the context of financial reform. Moreover, we are seeing the government licensing private lenders to the markets, adding pressure on funding cost and competition. Note, 22 private-owned banks' titles were approved by State Administration for Industry and Commerce as of Oct 30, according to the Securities Daily.
The bank gave us some actionable advice:
Sell banks into rally (tighter regulation and liquidity, financial/land reform generally -VE to NIM and Asset quality)
Sell Polluters, including coals, steels, aluminium and heavy industries.
Hold or buy on dips of New China: healthcare, insurance, selected consumption, policy beneficiaries and Internet.

Hey guys, I just have a quick question. Is there a true inverse of sine? now I know that an inverse of sine wouldn't be a function, but what if we restricted it. then wouldn't you be able to make a kind-of inverse function?
Ok I i'm just going to come out and say it, can you solve this? (for 'y' of course)
this question has been eating at my soul for the past few days and if someone could provide some in-site that would be greatCode:x=(sqrt(y-2)^2)+(sqrt(-y+4)^2)+sin(y)-2
-thanks in advance
actually I need it for x=0 to try to find Pi so in that case you can just solve this...
God... that's ugly.Code:0=(sqrt(y-2)^2)+(sqrt(-y+4)^2)+sin(y)-2
-thanks again
btw: my logic has been all over the place lately so if something looks strange, that's why. like if i am using Pi to find Pi, that's what my friend told me I am doing...

Legendary English band's longevity, the recent induction of Canada's Rush into Rock Hall of Fame, rise of Muse, underscore prog's resurgent appeal
The induction of the veteran Canadian band Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April raised some intriguing questions for rock fans with an ear for aural adventure.
Is progressive rock making an unexpected comeback, several decades after its commercial heyday in the early 1970s — an era when instrumental virtuosity, compositional complexity and heady conceptual approaches were valued by millions of listeners?
Or did this often challenging, classically inspired style of music, fondly called "prog" by many fans, never really go away? And aren't such top-selling bands as Radiohead and
Yes is the answer to all these questions, to cite the name of the pioneering English band that performs here Sunday, July 14, at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay (see the bottom of this article for details about the Yes concert).
That is also the title of a new book, "Yes Is the Answer and Other Prog Rock Tales" (Barnacle/Rare Bird Books, $24). The 280-page opus features 20 nationally prominent authors, music scholars and critics weighing in on nearly all things prog. An unfavorable critique of "Yes Is the Answer" in
With or without that controversy, prog and the musical spinoffs and hybrids it spawned seems to again be here, there and everywhere, to invoke a classic song by The Beatles. The legendary English band's game-changing 1967 masterpiece, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," is considered by aficionados to be a proto-prog album that created an enduring template for how rich and daring pop music could be.
Two classic hit singles from 1967,
Of course, The Beatles never claimed to be a prog band. But the Fab Four convincingly demonstrated that the sky was the limit when it came to experimenting and extending the creative possibilities for young musicians, whose only apparent limitations were their imaginations.
By coincidence, Yes' self-titled 1969 debut album included a jazzy extended version of The Beatles' "Every Little Thing." For its current tour, which marks Yes' 45th anniversary, the band is playing three of its most popular albums from the 1970s in their entirety: "The Yes Album," "Close to the Edge" and "Going for the One."
"The Beatles had a six-year career, from 1963 to 1969, which — to me, in my early 20s — seemed like a phenomenally long time," Yes bassist Chris Squire, 65, told U-T San Diego last year. He is the only member to have performed with every incarnation of the group.
"I always hoped Yes would have a six- to 10-year career," Squire added. "So it's amazing we're still an active band."
Multi-generational appeal
Yes was formed in 1968, four years before the birth of Jon Davison, who became the group's new lead singer last year.
"They've always been my favorite band since I was 12, when I heard (Yes' chart-topping 1983 single) 'Owner of a Lonely Heart,' " said Davison, 41, who in 2005 joined Roundabout, a San Diego Yes cover band. "Then I bought (Yes' 1973 triple-album) 'Tales From Topographic Oceans,' and it was like opening the Bible."
Prog, if not always Yes specifically, has had a big impact on many other musicians and fans, then and now.
"It's cool to see prog resurging, especially through bands like Muse and Radiohead," said award-winning San Diego singer-songwriter Tolan Shaw, 24. "Everyone I know likes Muse and Radiohead. And (current) bands like RX Bandits were very influenced by punk bands like Fugazi and by classic prog bands like King Crimson."
Like Yes, King Crimson was launched in 1968 in England. It counted Jimi Hendrix as an early fan and, decades later, profoundly inspired such American bands as
Presumably, West and Nirvana — like Hendrix before them — were both drawn to the intensity, adventure and fearlessness that epitomized much of King Crimson's genre-leaping music.
"Evidently, (Nirvana leader) Kurt Cobain cited (the 1974 King Crimson album) `Red' as being a sort of seminal, godfather-ish kind of album to his musical ideas and the kind of Seattle sound Nirvana had," former Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford told U-T San Diego in a 1995 interview.
"Sales of 'Red' have since increased noticeably. And young people you meet in supermarkets, who ask questions about King Crimson, will associate with that album, rather than the albums you or I might cite, such as (the 1969 debut) 'Court of the Crimson King.' I think the American ear has become a lot more accustomed to dissonance and distortion. So, whereas we used to sound pretty out there, I think that post-Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails,
The influence of prog can also be heard, to varying degrees, in the music of numerous bands around the world. Their ranks include Dream Theater, Ancestors, Mexico's Café Tacvba, Belgium's Aranis, Sweden's Gosta Berlings Saga, San Diego's Dialog Project and New York's Coheed & Cambria, which performs in San Diego Sept. 14 at Sleep Train Amphitheatre.
Prog live -- on ice!
"The word prog-rock now covers so many areas," said former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman. "You have bands that take a bit of prog-rock, like Radiohead, and bands that take from the '70s era of prog, like Dream Theater. And then there are 21st Century bands, like Muse, who I love dearly, and Air and Tool and Incubus."
Wakeman did several tours of duties with Yes, beginning in 1971. He also became a prog star in his own right, thanks to a series of increasingly ambitious (and, at times, pretentious) solo projects. The most colorful of these was, undoubtedly, "The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table -- On Ice," which featured Wakeman performing live with a narrator, a seven-piece band, a 45-piece orchestra, 48 singers in two choirs, 50 skaters and 50 knights.
Intriguingly, what may have sounded and looked laughably pompous and over the top then has taken on a fresh allure for some young fans more recently.
"A couple of years ago, there was a kid who came up to me after a show where we'd performed my (1973 concept) album, 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII," Wakeman recalled. "I said: 'How old are you?' And he said: '17.' I said: 'Christ, you weren't even born when I made the album! What do you like about it?' He replied: ' it may be old for you, but it's new for me. I only heard it for the first time last month.' It's true. For half the people in the audience, it is new."
Speaking of new/old aural adventures, Yes, recently hosted its maiden music-at-sea ocean cruise. On Aug. 3, the band will debut Yestival. To be held in Camden, N.J., the daylong event will feature such veteran prog artists as Renaissance, ELP drummer Carl Palmer and the Los Angeles trio Volto! (whose drummer, Danny Carey, is a member of Tool). From July 14-17, Yes will host the latest edition of Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, an event designed to provide personal musical coaching and interaction between famous bands and well-heeled fans, who have long dreamed of playing with their heroes.
Earlier this year, the 17-year-old Baja Prog festival in Mexicali resumed after a four-year absence. Its lineup once again mixed veteran prog bands with newer artists. The event's audience is eager to embrace both.
During the 1998 and 1999 editions of Baja Prog, Ten Ginn guitarist Stanley Whitaker found himself surrounded by autograph seekers, journalists and concert promoters after fans realized he was a founding member of Happy the Man, a highly regarded American prog group that had disbanded in 1979. When the Los Angeles-based Ten Ginn (now defunct) played a few songs by Happy the Man during its Baja Prog performances, the audience responded was ecstatic.
"It was amazing," recalled Whitaker, whose Baltimore-based neo-prog band,
So nuts, it transpired, that Whitaker was inspired to reunite Happy the Man soon thereafter. The band released a new album in 2005, "The Muse Awakens," and he credited the group's rebirth specifically to the fan response at Baja Prog.
Pomp and circumstance
Today, the pomp and circumstance that were staples of much prog in the 1970s have diminished. And the days when bands like Yes,
"There are huge swarms of young bands influenced by '70s progressive rock, or at least this is what I glean from reading ProgressiveEars.org and PROG Magazine. It's a subculture, but a really thriving one," said San Diego guitar and keyboard wizard Mike Keneally. He rose to prominence in former San Diegan Frank Zappa's band in the 1980s and performs here Aug. 29 at the Civic Theatre with prog-inspired guitar star Joe Satriani.
"I must shamefacedly admit that I hardly keep up with any of the current artists because I'm still trying to catch up with music I wanted to hear 30 and 40 years ago and never got around to," Keneally noted. "I'm only just now hearing albums by (pioneering German band) Can that I was curious to hear when I was a teenager. Radiohead seemed to have inherited the more esoteric, searching aspects of bands like Can, who were interested in texture and groove and atmosphere, but uninterested in fast playing and self-serving virtuoso moves. Muse clearly inherited the love of pomp and being unashamedly dramatic, and (Muse front man) Matt Bellamy clearly doesn't have a problem with being super virtuosic as a vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist. He puts it all out there."
Indeed, Muse — which performs in stadiums and has headlined the
"Pomp is super charming," Keneally said. "But there's also no denying the visceral thrill of the most sweeping sections of Yes' 'Gates of Delirium,'
"As a kid I had a restless, active mind, and the complexity and unpredictability of progressive rock fed my imagination in ways more popular music — which I also really liked, if the melodies appealed to me — couldn't do," Keneally continued.
"It also seemed, at its best, to have a connection to something mystical, which was completely intoxicating. Nowadays, a lot of the allure of prog rock for me is sentimental and nostalgic — I can't help enjoying hearing a song which blew my mind when I was a teenager. But the best of it can still enthrall me on its own merits, if there's something harmonically, rhythmically or texturally stimulating about it."

SAN VRUNO, CA and BOULDER, CO - October 24, 2006
IronPort® Systems Inc., the leading Internet gateway security provider, and Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti–spyware software for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced a partnership to stop spyware at the corporate perimeter. IronPort is using the Webroot RockSafe E1000 SDK in IronPort's new S–Series Web Security Appliances. The IronPort S–Series Web Security Appliance combines a high performance web proxy for application layer analysis with a wire–speed Layer 4 Traffic Monitor, yielding the fastest and most comprehensive protection in the industry. The Webroot SDK was built for speed and efficiency and relies on Webroot's extensive spyware definition database to deliver the most effective perimeter anti–spyware engine available. The combination of the high performance IronPort platform and the Webroot anti–spyware software yields a product that is unmatched in its ability to stop spyware across all network ports.
"The power behind the IronPort and Webroot partnership is driven by unique and industry leading technology from both companies," said Tom Gillis, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, IronPort Systems. "IronPort's Web Reputation System and Webroot's anti–spyware software form a one–two punch that knocks out the broadest range of malware at extremely high speeds."
Deep Integration
IronPort and Webroot have worked very closely to deeply integrate the Webroot RockSafe E1000 software into the IronPort S–Series appliance. This means that enterprise IT managers can now deploy a single appliance that contains best of breed technology from multiple vendors, without the administrative burden of managing multiple discreet systems. Product policies and configuration are all set from a single intuitive web based administration console called "Web Security Manager". The IronPort and Webroot technologies have fully integrated and detailed reporting capabilities that identify traffic associated with malicious code, show trends and infection rates, and rapidly identify any infected hosts within the corporate network so that desktop remediation efforts can be launched.
Webroot's Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Vinay Goel, commented, "The layered solution provided by the partnership between IronPort and Webroot combines the speed of the IronPort appliance with the effectiveness of the RockSafe anti–spyware technology giving the customer one of the most powerful perimeter solutions available today."
Industry Leading Accuracy
The IronPort and Webroot partnership has resulted in the industry's most accurate web security appliance. This accuracy is driven by unique technology from both companies. To identify spyware and malicious code, Webroot has created the fifth generation Phileas VTM automated research system. The Phileas V system, managed by Webroot's renowned research team, is designed to proactively seek out the most malicious forms of spyware and malware. Phileas V includes a multi–tiered bot network that employs advanced research techniques, like deep packet sniffing. This and other advanced technologies ultimately improve Phileas' ability to discover new threats more quickly, accurately and efficiently than ever before. Utilizing the data culled by Phileas V, Webroot's Threat Research Team has created a comprehensive set of network perimeter definitions that can be used to stop malicious threats before they reach the desktop. With nearly 150,000 different spyware traces addressed in this definition set, Webroot provides comprehensive protection against a broad range of threats.
IronPort's Web Reputation System provides the first line of defense in the IronPort appliance. IronPort invented the concept of Reputation Filtering more than 4 years ago, and it has proven to be a robust and efficient first line of defense. Reputation Filters are powered by IronPort's SenderBase Network. The SenderBase Network tracks more than 110 different network level parameters to measure the trustworthiness or reputation of every active web server on the Internet. A web server that has a steady history of reliable behavior and reasonable traffic patterns will have a positive reputation and may not require scanning. Conversely, a server that is known to be sending malicious code can be blocked without further scanning. And for new servers that have not established the trust of a well–known site a neutral reputation means they get further scanning by Webroot.
Industry Leading Performance & Accuracy
The IronPort S–Series is the world's fastest Web Security Appliance, offering near–zero latency for even the largest enterprises with hundreds of thousands of users. This performance is achieved by IronPort's proprietary technologies – AsyncOS operating system & Dynamic Vectoring & Streaming (DVS™) engine. IronPort has implemented the Webroot Rocksafe E100 SDK within IronPort's DVS™ scanning engine which heavily optimizes the scanning process further driving down latency. The end result is that the IronPort S–Series is in production at many large enterprise customers with greater than 30,000 employees and shown no material degradation in the end user web experience. Independent testing has shown the IronPort S–Series to have the highest accuracy rate against Web–based malware & spyware at unmatched performance levels for a Web gateway solution.The IronPort S–Series is available now.

Flying between Vancouver Island and Richmond, I always have a great view out my window of the river delta below between Point Grey and Steveston. This is an area that my Musqueam culture has been deeply connected to for thousands of years.
What I see are sandbars, and these change by re-braiding from season to season with the currents and the tides; this all reflects on the time of year and this is an important consideration in my culture that gathered food all summer for the long cold winters. Above and below a tree, the branches and roots very closely resemble each other, both reach out for there piece of earth, both intertwine within they're own space; this is what the creeks and ditches resemble while I watch intently from above.
This pattern is very common in nature: paths often lead from one place or wind up in the same. This is true in geography, waterways, and human society.
The artwork of these two limited edition serigraphs is based on a public art commission for the 2010 Olympic skating oval in Richmond B.C.
These are both further explorations from two of the three designs, which are incorporated into the structural buttresses that support the building. The imagery in the artwork reflects the ever-changing Fraser River.
Incorporated within the delta theme are heron motifs. The contours are revealed by salmon motifs in the foreground. Richmond has chosen the heron as it ambassador; herons have chosen the delta as they're home for countless generations.
"Canoe Pass" is the name for the middle arm, which separates Lulu Island from Sea Island.
"North Arm" is the waterway that separates Vancouver from Richmond.

She took courses in silver, casting and carving, all of which led to monumental sculptures in mixed media, and she was the first Northwest Coast artist to work in glass. She continues to release a number of print editions each year, but her focus has been on commissioned sculpture.

The White-Tailed DeerWisconsin State Animal
Able to leap tall fences in a single bound, the white-tailed deer is an animal of incredible beauty and power. The white-tailed deer is one of Wisconsin's official wildlife animals and North America's most abundant big-game animal. Read on to find out more about the white-tail.Oh Deer...
Deer - at the Dentist
Signs of the Time
Hunting Season
Oh Deer...
The white-tailed deer is a large, brown animal found throughout Wisconsin. Deer prefer to live near forests and agricultural areas, such as crop fields, because these areas provide food and cover for them. Deer have hooved feet, slender bodies, and long, thin legs. Don't let their skinny legs fool you. Deer are able to run up to 40 miles per hour, jump 9 foot fences, and swim 13 miles per hour.
The male deer is called a buck. Bucks are easy to identify in the summer and fall because they grow a set of antlers (also called a rack) each year. The rack is made of bone and has points, called tines. Many tines on a buck's rack tell us that the deer is healthy and lives in a good habitat. A buck's antlers reach full growth in the fall. You may see a buck rubbing his antlers on a tree in early fall to get rid of the soft velvet that protected his new antlers. As the buck rubs off the velvet, the antlers will become ivory-colored at the tips. In the winter, bucks shed their antlers.
During the mating season, also called the "rut," bucks fight for territory and the privilege of mating with the most female deer. Bucks will crash antlers to claim this territory. They don't usually get hurt during the fights. A buck will also mark his territory by stomping on the ground to make "scrapes" on the land and rubbing his antlers on trees, called a "buck rub."
The female deer is called a doe. She gives birth to young, called fawns, in May or June. A doe may give birth to one, two, or three fawns at a time. A fawn's coat is reddish brown with small white spots. This coloring helps the young fawn blend in with the forest. Blending in with the habitat is called camouflage, and it is one way an animal adapts to its environment. The spots on a fawn disappear when the fawn completes its first molt (gets a winter coat), at about five months old.
The white-tailed deer is an herbivoreit eats plants. Deer graze on tree leaves, broadleaved herbs, and berries in the summer and acorns, grass, and herbs during the fall. During the winter, deer munch on white cedar, twigs, nuts, fruits, and corn and in the spring deer eat grass, wheat, and alfalfa. Deer have a four-chambered stomach that allows them to digest these plant foods. They gobble up their food quickly and hardly even chew. Later as they are resting, they cough up their food and re-chew itso much for table manners.
Deer - at the Dentist
It sounds silly, but deer are actually aged by checking their teeth, not by counting points on antlers. A trained biologist looks at both the type of teeth the deer has as well as how worn they are. Deer have a set of baby teeth just like humans. They are born with four teeth and in the next few months develop baby incisors and premolars. By the time they are about 18 months old, permanent teeth will have replaced the baby teeth. An adult will have six incisors and two canines in the lower front, six premolars and six molars in the lower back and the same in the upper back. A quick glance at the premolars tells a biologist whether the animal is a fawn, youth or an adult.
After all of the white-tail's permanent teeth have come in, biologists look for the amount of wear on the molars, which lose about 1 millimeter of height each year. The height of the tooth above the gum line on all three molars is used to determine deer age.
Signs of the Time
Deer leave many signs behind. These signs tell us some interesting things about deer. It's great fun to look for these signs.
If you get a chance to go hiking this fall, here are a few things to look for:

A middle aged man entered the near empty platform, found an empty bench and sat down.
"Get this man out of my station," Sam was clueless why sitting on a platform bench is an issue; his boss asked him to sort out the complain of station manager, he had not much of a choice.
"What seems to be the problem?" Sam asked the manager, "does he not have a ticket? Is he acting weird?"
"This man sits on the platform every day," answered a harried station manager, "god help me if he takes a dive before an incoming train."
"Why do you think he will take a dive?" asked a puzzled Sam, "has he shown such erratic behaviour?"
"I don't know, accidents happen all of a sudden," manager brushed Sam off, "go talk to him, arrest him, get him off my station".
"Station manager sent you?" the man smiled at Sam, as he sat on the bench by his side.
"How did you guess?"
"He has been trying all kind of things. He sent for station security. Made fixed duration platform tickets mandatory. I cheat them by purchasing a travel ticket. Still, beyond a time, security men evict me," said the man, "I am not a criminal or suicidal. I have a ticket. I simply love to watch trains."
"What is there to watch?"
"It is like watching life flowing by. Some fast trains move around like a busybody off to an important assignment." The man's face lit up, "they whistle shrilly to announce that they are passing by. Almost expecting everyone to stand up and take a bow."
"Then there are other trains that are slow coaches. Like a village vagabond, they stop at every station. As if to say hello, shake hands and exchange pleasantries. Sitting on my bench, I stare at faces of travellers. Happy faces of a couple going on a holiday, sad face of a kid going to a boarding school, anxious face of a new bride leaving her home. "
"Simple pleasures of life are also disappearing," the man said with a tinge of sadness, "can a man survive without an addiction? Some drink, others smoke, a few gamble. Me, I like to sit on a platform bench and watch life go by.
"Your man is no threat to anyone," reported Sam to station manager, "given a choice I would like to swap my job for a seat on the platform bench."

Legendary five-time UFC champion Randy "The Natural" Couture will headline a fight card on Spike TV for the first time on Saturday, November 14 (8:00pm ET/PT same day tape) in the main event of UFC 105. Emanating from the MEN Arena in Manchester, England, Couture will square off against highly-regarded veteran Brandon "The Truth" Vera in a bout in the light heavyweight division.
The 46 year old Couture (16-10) is a former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, and will be making his return to the 205 lb weight class after fighting the last 2 ½ years as a heavyweight.
His last bout as a light heavyweight was a loss to Chuck Liddell at UFC 57 in February 2006. The mixed martial arts icon, fighting out of Las Vegas, is on a quest for an unprecedented sixth world championship in the UFC.
"I would love to be a six-time UFC champion, to set the bar very high in that regard, and that's what I want to accomplish at 205 lbs," said Couture. "That is my immediate goal. I am very intrigued by the current light heavyweight division, there are some great matchups for me here, and I believe I have to tools to win back the light heavyweight title."
Couture, who grew up in Lynwood, WA, was an All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State and a three-time alternate on the U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling team. He has competed in a record 15 title fights, and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2006. Couture's most recent championship reign was in the UFC's heavyweight division, a title he captured with a dominating performance over Tim Sylvia at UFC 68 in March 2007.
Fighting out of San Diego, CA, Vera is 11-3 in his mixed martial arts career and is trying to win his third consecutive fight. He most recently snapped the six-fight winning streak of the highly-rated Krzysztof Soszynski with a unanimous decision victory at UFC 102 in August. Prior to that bout, Vera dismantled Michael Patt at UFC 96 with a series of brutal leg-strikes which led to a second round TKO victory.
Now Vera says he is ready to take on an all time great and begin carving his own legend in the UFC as he continues his ascent towards the light heavyweight title. "It will be an honor and a privilege to fight a living legend like Randy Couture. He has been someone that I have looked up to and I can't wait to get in there and fight in November," he said.
The UFC 105 co-feature is a welterweight showdown as native Englishman Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy (22-6) meets Mike Swick (14-2-0) inside the OctagonTM. Hardy will be looking to remain perfect in the UFC and win his fourth straight bout, while Swick tries to extend his winning streak in the UFC to five in a fight that could vault the winner into number one contender status in the 170 lb division.
Also on the card is a matchup with huge implications in the middleweight division between the UK's own Michael "The Count" Bisping (17-2-0) and Canadian Denis Kang (32-11-1), a bout pitting "The Ultimate Fighter: US vs UK" welterweight division winner James Wilks (7-2-0) and the always exciting Matt "The Immortal" Brown (12-7-0), and a fight between "The Ultimate Fighter: US vs UK" lightweight division winner Ross Pearson and Aaron Riley.

The request to disconnect the one decoder was onlyvto try and establish what the install was like.
As Jan has also stated, two decoders can not share a single LNB connection and work properly, ever. The 2P decoder will only work properly with 2 universal LNB connections, which means that a total of 3 universal LNB connections are required.
Because MC has changed its entire approach to satellite connectivity, it is now better to install a Unicable LNB. This way, only 2 cables are required from the LNB, one to each decoder.
Whomever installed the setup for you originally does not understand what the requirements are for a PVR to function properly, and neither how to implement XV correctly.
And no, switching on a TV connected to a decoder and getting picture does not mean it is working.
Octo LNB; 2 by 2x4 MS; 2 by ES 5-2; Dedicated PSU for LNB, ES's, MS's; HD PVR 4P x 2; Explora 1; DSD 660; FSM
Now that we finally have better information as to what LNB is installed we can give you the correct advice.
Looking at the picture of the Dish and LNB it is evident that there is only one white cable connected to a twin LNB. From what we see in your photo of the back of the two decoders it is noted that somewhere the cable from the LNB has been connected to either a T piece or a splitter or something to create two cable connections for the two decoders. That is what is causing your problems. If both your tv's were working it could only have been intermittent. Two decoders cannot use the same universal port of a LNB
Geoff's advice is spot on. To be able to get the PVR to record and restore all its functions and get the other decoder to work properly you need to have the LNB replaced and a second cable installed from the new LNB for the 1131.
This is the best advice you will get. Believe me Geoff knows what he is talking about.
Explora 2A (primary) Explora 3A Secondary SLNB LMX501 Samsung S9 Samsung Tab
Both my tvs were working fine (could switch on and off,watch tv) except for record which was my intial problem. You guys told me to disconnect the 1131 decoder which was done and from that time my room tv has not been working. Therefore I do not understand what the lnb has to do with both tvs working if it was working before. I will try your instructions received yesterday to get the 2nd tv on again
That is a twin universalvlnb with one cable connected. Completely unsuitable for what you want to do.
The installation needs upgrading. Get an installer in to replace the LNB with a SLNB model LMX 501, NOT a LMX 502.
Octo LNB; 2 by 2x4 MS; 2 by ES 5-2; Dedicated PSU for LNB, ES's, MS's; HD PVR 4P x 2; Explora 1; DSD 660; FSM
Please see attached imagine. This was the best image i could get.
I did not do what you asked me yesterday as i was busy but i will try it today.
I do live in a complex but each unit has its own dish and seperate antenna
We also forgot to ask you if you are in a complex sharing an antenna feed and how many sat connections are available if so.
Octo LNB; 2 by 2x4 MS; 2 by ES 5-2; Dedicated PSU for LNB, ES's, MS's; HD PVR 4P x 2; Explora 1; DSD 660; FSM
Based on the picture you supplied and assuming one of the screenshots of the network settings, it would seem you have a Single or TWIN Universal LNB.
Please confirm how many cables are coming from the LNB.
If the 2P is working, it is only partially working IF the screenshots of the settings you sent are from the 2P settings. Then the 2P cannot possibly be working in all respects.
The 1131 decoder can only be connected to a universal port on the LNB with a cable going from a universal port to the LNB port on the 1131.
A SLNB model LMX 500 has 6 ports, 4 are labelled A,B,C,D and two are legacy ports.
A SLNB model LMX 501 has 4 ports, labelled A,B,C and 1 legacy port.
A TWIN LNB has only two ports
A single LNB has only one port.
Sho this is the key to getting your setup working. we must be able to establish what LNB you have.
In the meantime, reconnect the cable running between the two decoders to the RF OUT port on the 2P and to the RF IN port on the 1131. Connect the TV to the RF OUT port on the 1131. That will at least get the tv working in the BR again.
Now it is up to you to tell us IF you have a cable running from the 1131 direct to the LNB or not, and to which port on the LNB it is connected to, as well as the type of LNB.
Octo LNB; 2 by 2x4 MS; 2 by ES 5-2; Dedicated PSU for LNB, ES's, MS's; HD PVR 4P x 2; Explora 1; DSD 660; FSM
We really need to know what type and model LNB is installed. Without that information we are guessing what is wrong. The wiring really depends on the LNB type and as Geoff said before we cannot help you without that information.
Explora 2A (primary) Explora 3A Secondary SLNB LMX501 Samsung S9 Samsung Tab

Hi GeoffD
I removed the cables like u asked and my lounge tv is working well. How ever im having issues with my room tv. It keeps saying searching for signal. I need this up and running asap. Please let me know how I should connect my silver decoder. This is decoder 1131 not 1132. Please see attached my network settings. I will attach another pic of how my pvr is connected. My room tv was working fine until i unplugged the 1131

Snowboarder OK after going missing at Squaw Valley
OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. – A snowboarder who went missing Tuesday afternoon at Squaw Valley was found later that evening in good condition, officials said.
The 44-year-old Bay area man was reported missing by a friend at around 3:40 p.m. Tuesday, and Squaw Valley Ski Patrol "immediately" began a search, focusing on the mountain's Shirley Canyon area, according to a resort press release Wednesday.
At approximately 4:25 p.m., Squaw Valley Dispatch made contact with the snowboarder, who confirmed he was lost, according to the release.
Due to whiteout conditions from Tuesday's snowstorm, the man became disorientated, and instead of heading toward Shirley Canyon – as he thought he was – he ended up going in the wrong direction, said John Lasagna, detective for the Placer County Sheriff's Office.
Squaw Valley Ski Patrol concluded the snowboarder had departed the ski area, heading into the backcountry toward Pole Creek Canyon, according to the release. PCSO was contacted at 5:30 p.m. to initiate a backcountry search.
Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue members found the snowboarder at about 8:15 p.m. on the top of Pole Creek Canyon in good condition, Lasagna said. He was cold and his ribs were sore from an earlier fall, but no medical treatment was needed, Lasagna said.
